Firsts at Comer Children's Hospital
Request Access to Your Child's Account
When your child is admitted to the hospital, it's stressful for your entire family. That's why the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital was designed for family-centered care. From our large, private rooms with in-room sleeping accommodations for parents to the healing garden, Family Care Center and our Family Learning Center, we are prepared to serve your entire family's concerns and needs. We hope our care gives your family more time to focus on the health and well-being of your child.
Comer Physicians Focused on Helping Kids Heal
I think of Comer as a second home. My children have been hospitalized here, and they love coming here. It's hard when we get ready to get discharged, because they want to stay. It's the environment, the way the rooms are designed, the nurses, the staff, the doctors, everyone. It just feels like a comfortable place, and we work hard here at Comer to make sure that everybody is taken care of, the family, the patients, whoever it may be. If you're here we want to make sure that you're comfortable and that we're getting you better.
Kid-Friendly Features
Each floor of Comer Children's is inspired by poetry. Selected poems are incorporated into various forms of artwork, including paintings, sculptures and quilts. The artwork, with its corresponding poems, helps create an environment that inspires hope, healing and learning. The pieces are hung at varying heights, so children of all sizes — and even adults — can easily see them.
Comfortable, Child-Friendly Rooms
Vibrant colors and large private rooms help children feel more at home. The single rooms are 308 square feet — large enough for wheelchairs to move freely. Each room contains a small bookshelf, desk area and bulletin board. The rooms also have a flat-screen TV/computer where children can access child-appropriate websites, send and receive email, listen to music and watch movies on demand. You or your child can also regulate the temperate and lighting of the room. And you can adjust the height of the showers.
The sight of medical and technical equipment in a patient room can intimidate or scare children. The equipment is masked by art or is not exposed in Comer Children's. This leaves rooms with a spacious and uncluttered look and creates an environment where children feel secure.
Children will not hear the sound of an overhead paging system. A wireless call system enables patients to page their nurses when the call button is pressed. This makes our hospital a quieter, calmer place for children.
"Room Service" Approach
The "room service" approach to meals at Comer Children's allows children to order food any time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. by calling 4-FOOD. Each room will have a menu. Food requests are checked to see if they meet the physician's instructions to assure correct food for your child's condition and status. Food is available for a variety of special needs, including vegetarian and kosher cuisine.
Group Play Areas
Play areas let kids be kids. They offer safe, fun-filled places of refuge where no medical procedures are performed. The playroom, a teen room and an outdoor healing garden are located on the hospital's main floor. A special room for adolescent and young adult cancer patients is on the second floor outside of the pediatric clinics. Smaller play areas, which provide games, toys and books are located on floors three through six.
The healing garden features art spaces, musical instruments and a "pond" made to create the visualization of water. The space was designed to capture elements of nature that would engage children and create an atmosphere of outdoor tranquility where families can enjoy peaceful moments while at the hospital.
Child life specialists from our Child Life Program offer opportunities for educational, developmental and therapeutic programs, which include art therapy, music therapy, pet therapy, medical bingo, a cooking program and more. If children are too ill to come to the playroom, events are telecast to the rooms so they won't miss out. Volunteers also bring toys, books and games to children's bedsides.
Family-Friendly Features
In-Room Sleeping Accommodations for Parents
Comer Children's provides families with many comforts of home while staying with their children. Each patient room has a queen-size sofa bed and recliner so family members don't have to leave their child's side. A small refrigerator in every room lets children and families keep their own snacks.
Nurses in Sight
Nurse charting alcoves are located outside patient rooms with one alcove for every two rooms. The alcoves are surrounded by glass, which allows nurses a direct view into a child's room. This improves patient care and comfort by making the staff more visible to children and families.
Bedside Admissions
Our admission process is streamlined, reducing stress for both family and patient. Requests for admission are electronic. An admission representative comes to the child's bedside. With all transactions occurring in the patient's room, everyone can become oriented to their room and the amenities offered. The representative places a follow-up telephone call to the family within 24 to 48 hours after admission to make sure all questions have been answered.
Family Care Center
The Family Care Center is located on the second floor and includes laundry facilities and a vending machine area. Also, there is a family kitchen located on the sixth floor.
Family Learning Center
Located on the main floor, the Family Learning Center is a resource area for parents and caregivers. It provides computers with internet access, books, videos and other tools for learning about childhood health and illnesses. The center offers educational and supportive services that include training for post-hospital care, preventive and wellness education, information about recreational opportunities and places to stay in the Chicago area. It also has reading games, computer games and videos for patients and their siblings.
Spiritual Care and Piccolo Chapel
The Department of Pastoral Care provides interfaith, compassionate and sensitive care to patients and families. The staff fully supports each person or family that requests such help, using the individual faith of the family as the basis of this support. Our chapel is located on the main floor, yet it is set back from mainstream traffic for peace and privacy.
Chaplains are available at Comer Children's around the clock to attend to your unique spiritual and emotional needs during your journey.

BEIJING - As astronauts continue to break records for time spent in space and manned Mars exploration is under discussion, scientists in China have begun a groundbreaking study to determine if humans can reproduce in space.
Scientists will for the first time conduct an experiment to induce the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into germ cells on China's first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou-1.
The experiment aims to study the effects of the space environment on human reproduction, beginning with the study of microgravity on human stem cells and germ cells, says Kehkooi Kee, lead researcher on the project.
Kee, a Malaysia Chinese professor at China's prestigious Tsinghua University, says the unprecedented experiment will study the basic development and maturation of germ cells in the micro-gravity environment, and the developmental potential of human embryonic stem cells.
The research is expected to provide a theoretical basis and technical support to solve the possible problems of human reproduction caused by the space environment, Kee said.
"It's an important experiment because it is the first step towards directly understanding human reproduction during space exploration," he says.
What kind of difficulties could people face by having children in space?
Experts say that in the known space environment, micro-gravity, radiation and magnetic fields could have a great impact on human reproduction. Among these factors, micro-gravity could be the largest challenge.
At the cellular level, micro-gravity might affect cell division or polarity. The cells of living organisms contain many organic molecules. These molecules and cells are evolved to function under the earth gravitational force. But scientists are still not clear how micro-gravity could affect the physical force governing the molecular interactions and developments of the cells, says Kee.
The United States, Russia and Europe have conducted many space experiments to examine if micro-gravity is harmful to astronauts, especially the effects on the muscle and bones. However, microgravity effect on human reproductive capacity has been rarely studied.
Previous research in this area mainly focused on monitoring the reproductive hormone levels of astronauts. Due to the ethical and physical constraints, it has been very difficult to directly obtain and study their germ cells.
"If we aim to directly study human reproductive biology in space, we need to build an in-vitro platform to study the germ cells. So we chose to use human embryonic stem cells to differentiate into germ cells," says Kee.
In 2009, he and his colleagues used human embryonic stem cells to create human primordial germ cells and sperm-like cells for the first time. They published their research in the academic journal Nature.
Currently, the team has successfully obtained egg-like cells from human embryonic stem cells and will be publishing this novel finding soon.
Human embryonic stem cells can be induced into primordial germ cells and further differentiate into sperm-like or egg-like cells. But differentiating embryonic stem cells into sperm-like or egg-like cells is very difficult because they require more developmental steps and more cellular factors, says Kee.
Although other scientists have conducted similar experiments, none has made human germ cells differentiate into such a mature state as Kee's team has.
"We have compared the in-vitro cultured cells with in-vivo cells, and found they have many similar characteristics. But we can only call the in-vitro ones sperm-like cells or egg-like cells, because we still can't prove they are exactly the same until we conduct functional experiments," Kee says.
So far, all such experiments have been conducted on the ground, so scientists do not know whether micro-gravity will affect the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells and the formation of germ cells.
"In the experiments on the ground, it usually takes six days to culture and obtain primordial germ cells, and about two weeks to form sperm-like or egg-like cells," says Kee.
"The experiment on Tianzhou-1 will last 30 days. To what extent the human embryonic stem cell can differentiate in space is still unknown. Will the process be delayed? If so, by how much?" asks Kee, adding they expect to see at least the first stage of the primordial germ cells appear.
Scientists on the ground will remotely control the research equipment to change the cell-culture medium to induce the human embryonic stem cells to differentiate into germ cells. Images of the cells under the microscope will be transmitted to earth.

Mosimane: I am against showboating
Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Pitso Mosimane says he is not willing to tolerate unnecessary showboating in the professional game.
He was speaking after Sundowns' 6-0 thrashing of Orlando Pirates on the weekend resulted in a pitch invasion and crowd violence 82 minutes into the match, the game being completed an hour later after calm had been restored.
At one point of the match at the Loftus Stadium, Mosimane was seen reprimanding midfielder Percy Tau after some overelaborate play on the ball.
The former Bafana Bafana coach says he understands that skill and flair are part of South African football, but says it should not be part of the game and that opponents should be respected.
"I am always against it. I don't like it," he said.
"You need to respect Pirates. You saw what happened [with the violence on Saturday]. Imagine if we started to showboat, worse would have happened because you are playing with the emotions of people.
"It's not nice and that's why I was angry when Wits did it and no one protected me and it was like sour grapes."
He reiterated that showboating has it's place, but not in top flight professional football.
"I know it's flavour, [fans] love it. It's good for TV. I know people like it. It's good for township football. I grew up in a township.
"I know when you have tricks [you are like a] top player. In townships, as long as you juggle and do tricks, everybody says you're a good player.
"There are a lot of players in the PSL who do tricks but they don't go anywhere and you know them. They don't even play for Bafana Bafana."

TWITC: Save Town Lake Kills Town Lake Trail
Austin I Told You So This Week In The Chronicle Transportation Urban Design Walking in Austin (Pedestrian Issues) When Neighborhoods Go Bad
Hat-tip to The OIl Drum, youth health pilule from The New York Times book review:
Doubtless scientists and economists will spend many hours working their way through Cool It, ampoule flagging the distortions and half-truths as they did with Lomborg's earlier book. In fact, page though, its real political intent soon becomes clear, which is to try to paint those who wish to control carbon emissions as well-meaning fools who will inadvertently block improvements in the life of the poor.
Just ask yourself this question: Why has Lomborg decided to compare the efficacy of (largely theoretical) funding to stop global warming with his other priorities, like fighting malaria or ensuring clean water? If fighting malaria was his real goal, he could as easily have asked the question: Why don't we divert to it some of the (large and nontheoretical) sums spent on, say, the military? The answer he gave when I asked this question at our dialogue was that he thought military spending was bad and that therefore it made more sense to compare global warming dollars with other "good" spending. But of course this makes less sense. If he thought that money spent for the military was doing damage, then he could kill two birds with one stone by diverting some of it to his other projects. Proposing that, though, would lose him much of the right-wing support that made his earlier book a best seller—he'd no longer be able to count on even The Wall Street Journal editorial page.
(AD of Penn State)
I bleed blue and white, adiposity but I will never have any interest in seeing games against FIU, Buffalo, Temple, Eastern Michigan, Eastern Illinois, and their ilk. Of course, if that wasn't enough, you scheduled a 1-AA team to fill out the slate (Coastal Carolina). Even if I wanted to watch those games, I live in Texas, and I will never have the Big Ten Network, nor will most of the country, where a heck of a lot of your alumni live.
If I don't watch games, I get less enthusiastic about buying PSU stuff.
If I don't watch games, I get less enthusiastic about donating money. It would be hard for me to get less enthusiastic about donating money, but you at least remove the possibility of a head-injury-induced bout of giving later in life.
Sooner or later, when nobody watches these games, ESPN stops putting the bigger games on TV too. Then, even more people buy even less PSU stuff and donate even less money.
This year, and possibly in earlier years, playing games like these, against teams we knew would suck, did nothing to prepare us for the games against teams we thought wouldn't suck. And as a result, we got pantsed. TWICE! Plus, the one out-of-conference game which we thought was against a team which didn't suck ended up being a laugher too. Which argues that scheduling only one game against a team that might not suck is probably not going to help us either, not that you're committing to even _that_ going forward, since our 'marquee' opponent in the next couple years is Syracuse. Yes, Syracuse. And by the next couple of years going forward, I don't mean next year, in which we have three of those cupcakes listed above plus a TBA slot to fill with Temple's name on it. Syracuse is our big opponent to look forward to in 2009 and 2010. Yay!
You often claim that economics dictates these decisions. It's my considered economic opinion that you are quite possibly the dumbest motherfucker in the history of college sports, if you don't think that there will be a negative long-term economic impact to scheduling these kinds of games.
I would much rather watch PSU play a one-and-done away game somewhere like Florida than ever see this type of schedule again. If Joe Paterno is really calling the shots and forcing you to schedule this sort of stuff against your will, as is sometimes alleged, then you owe it to the world to resign immediately. Continuing to assist in the perpetuation of this kind of scheduling is just plain evil.
Of course, infertility the Chronicle plays this up as a win for the lake:
This would have allowed them to move their secondary setback line from the river forward 50 ft, and 130ft on East Bouldin Creek, pushing their proposed developments at 222 and 300 East Riverside much closer to the waterfront.
Once again, we see the writers at the Chronicle pretty much taking the ANC line hook, line, and sinker – without any qualification whatsoever. And:
it seems likely that CWS will withdraw to lick their wounds and come up with another plan.
but here's the money quotes, courtesy of the ABJ:
If the variance request remains denied, CWS plans to build two highrises — one 200 feet, the other 120 feet — and redevelop dozens of apartments that sit as close as 20 feet from the lake shore to sell them as townhomes. Those apartments pre-date the 200-foot rule.
So, who are you going to trust? The developer? The ANC? Well, I'd say at a bare minimum, a journalist ought to at least report what the developer says they're going to do. The ABJ did, but not the Chronicle.
My prediction: While there's a distant possibility CWS would re-re-negotiate, the most likely scenario now is that there's two rather than three towers on the site, and that the existing buildings right next to the water get rebuilt and sold as townhomes/condos. Remember – after the sales happen, any donation of parkland (even a foot next to the water) would require a vote of that condo association. Key here: there's nothing non-trivial left to negotiate. CWS was denied just about the smallest variance that was worth anything; there's nowhere to retreat to from here. And the rich folks in Travis Heights (using the rest of you as dupes) won the battle they really cared about: keeping their property values high and their views unobstructed.
Anyways, this is what you get by standing up behind the ANC and Laura Morrison, folks. Hope you enjoy jogging on the Riverside sidewalk.
Several commissioners referred to the vote as a lose-lose situation because CWS will still rebuild close to the lakeshore and the public will lose an extension of the hike-and-bike trail.
And, Planning Commission, shame on you. Going on the record as saying this is a lose-lose situation but then voting unanimously for the ANC position? WTF?
Additional coverage:
Austinist
From that Austinist piece, in comments, "Scooby" says:
I see that the Austin Chronicle is a "Waterfall Sponsor" ($2,500 donated). I wonder if that includes the in-kind donation of slanted "news" coverage?

The origins of Banecroft Barony are lost to history. No one knows much about it prior to '72 except that it was a small isolationist land which prospered on the Great East-West road. Trade flowed through it and travelers thought it a convenient if rustic place to pause from the rigors of travel. Indeed, almost all that is known of the Banecroft of that era comes to us from a passerby, the only one- well, one of two to survive the Fall of Banecroft
A force of goblins, human mercenaries and other monsters attacked Banecroft without provocation. It is a mystery how this force overcame their differences and banded together. And why, after the Barony fell, this formidable force was not seen again. Anyway, the Baron at that time, Rhothgar Bancroft, sent the civilians to safety. The Baron's wife and newborn son went with them, as did most of the Baron's regular army, led by his brother. Only a picked guard stayed behind to hold Banecroft tower. But confidence was high - the tower was a strong enough fort that even a small force could hold it until re-enforcements arrived.
But their confidence was misplaced. The civilian convoy was attacked by goblins and winged monsters. There are only two documented survivors. One was a baronial archer who made it back to the tower to warn the Baron. The other was the Baron's baby son. A baronial swordsman broke free of the fighting with him and ran until he met Francois and Charlotte Millhaven, merchants passing through the area. He thrust the child into their arms, told them to run, then turned back to the battle to aid his fellows.
Next the tower was attacked. Rhothgar met the leader of the attackers, a monstrously deformed fleshy humanoid in single combat, but was slain. The tower's gate did not stand and the defenders were overrun, each falling defending their homeland. Only the traveler, Henery Tatsel, used trickery to escape and tell the tale.
For twenty years Bancroft tower stood alone, deserted by civilization and haunted by the most violent sorts of haunts and humanoids. In this time, the pronunciation of the land's name changed, the poor luck of those who ventured near causing those to refer it as 'Bane-croft'. Meanwhile, the wheel of history turned. The great East-West road no longer formed the backbone of known civilization and became overgrown with trees.

Somali government seizes Bulo Hawo town from al-Shabab
Pro-Somali government forces have seized the town of Bulo Hawo on the border with Kenya and Ethiopia from the hardline Islamist group al-Shabab.
This is seen as a significant victory for the weak, UN-backed government against the al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Al-Shabab and their allies control most of southern and central Somalia but pro-government forces have been gaining ground in recent weeks.
Kenya has responded by boosting security along the border.
Black flag lowered
On Monday, pro-Somali government forces said they had carried out a controlled explosion of a huge roadside bomb in Bulo Hawo.
They have also imposed a curfew in the town.
The BBC's Bashkas Jugsodaay in northern Kenya says many people fled the fighting into Kenya.
He says they have not come as refugees but are staying with relatives until the situation is calm.
They have mostly gone to the Kenyan town of Mandera, just 3km (two miles) from Bulo Hawo.
Somalia's government says 11 al-Shabab fighters and one government soldier were killed in Sunday's fighting.
It says the militants' black flag was replaced with the blue and white Somali national one on all government buildings.
The moderate Islamist group, Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama, helped government forces against al-Shabab.
There has also been fighting around the town of Beledweyne, north-east of Bulo Hawo.
Beledweyne is controlled by al-Shabab but government forces have advanced to within 20km (13 miles).
The government has this month seized several parts of the capital, Mogadishu, from al-Shabab, with the help of African Union peacekeepers.

Colorado Man Built Pipe Bombs To Defend Himself Against 'Clumped Up' Guys in Front Yard, FBI Says
By Asher Stockler On 5/5/20 at 3:59 PM EDT
U.S. Explosives Colorado Coronavirus
A self-described bomb-making novice from Colorado was arrested May 1 after federal agents found four homemade pipe bombs in his home.
The man, Bradley Bunn, 53, said he was worried about people storming his home and was preparing for that possibility.
"I don't have a lot of experience in this. I haven't done this before," Bunn told an FBI special agent, according to court records.
"I bought this stuff at Jax," Bunn added.

Chicago Police Continue to Enforce Coronavirus Stay-at-Home Orders
Maryland's Republican Governor Dismisses 'Crazy Things' Said by GOP Rep
Bunn is accused of violating federal law prohibiting the possession of unregistered explosives. As a private person, Bunn would not be able to register any such devices under the National Firearms Act, which effectively prohibits their home manufacture.
According to ABC News, Bunn caught the attention of federal law enforcement officials ahead of a planned May 1 rally as an instigator of anti-lockdown protests. He was reportedly encouraging protesters on social media to bring semi-automatic rifles to the rally at the Capitol building in Denver.
Leading up to the rally, the tone of Bunn's social media posts became increasingly aggressive, ABC News was told, and the FBI quickly learned that Bunn may have been harboring pipe bombs.
A lawyer for Bunn declined to comment about the allegations. If convicted on the registration charge, he faces a potential penalty of 10 years in prison.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the case, FBI agents conducted a search of Bunn's Loveland, Colorado, home early in the morning on May 1. They discovered "four devices that consisted of a galvanized steel pipe with external threads and an external end cap on each end. One end cap on each device contained a hole through which a fuse had been inserted as an initiating system," the document said.
Bomb technicians later learned that the filler inside the devices was explosive. An FBI agent asked Bunn whether it was smokeless or black powder, two types of gunpowder. According to the affidavit, Bunn replied, "I don't know, I'm a dumb**s with this. I don't know."
He added: "Because I don't know much about this stuff, I don't exactly know what went into the device that I built. That's the best that I can tell you."
Bunn told an FBI agent that he was testing the devices for accidental combustion by throwing them onto the ground to make sure they would not detonate unintentionally.
Asked if he put fragmentation materials, such as shrapnel, inside the devices, Bunn replied that he "was considering buckshot" but did not end up following through, according to the affidavit.
"I mean if you're gonna do a job, do it right," he said. "But because I don't have the sufficient knowledge to know what interacts with that, I didn't want to...cause some kind of chemical reaction I didn't expect."
The FBI said Bunn explained that he assembled the bombs in order to guard against a potential home invasion. If his residence were to be stormed at 3 a.m., Bunn said, he wanted to be ready to neutralize a group of "clumped up" guys in the front yard.
He did not say why he was worried he would be a target of those men.
Bradley Bunn was arrested after FBI agents searched his Colorado home and found four homemade pipe bombs. Constructing such bombs is a violation of federal law. U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado

'Nepo baby' Lottie Moss deactivates Twitter account after receiving criticism over nepotism comments
Kate Moss' half-sister Lottie Moss is the latest nepotism beneficiary to fall foul of the online discourse

Get the latest news from Buzz Culture straight to your inbox
The half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss, Lottie Moss, is the latest person to enter the online discourse about 'nepo babies'.
The term was coined on social media to refer to the children of celebrities who are now famous themselves, implying that their status is either fully or partially related to their privileged upbringing and parents' connections.
The 'rise' of nepo babies has been a constant topic of discussion recently, further amplified this week by a cover story for New York Magazine titled 'How a Nepo Baby is Born'.

Nicola Coughlan will appear in new Barbie movie, according to Derry Girls actress herself
Earlier this week, 24-year-old model Moss added her own thoughts to the raging online debate about 'nepo baby' privilege.
"I'm so sick of people blaming nepotism for why they aren't rich and famous or successful," she wrote on Twitter (via Independent).
"Obviously it's not fair that people who come from famous families are getting a leg up because of that but guess what? Life isn't fair – if you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything!
"So instead of being negative about other people's success go and try and create your own!" she added.
This led Twitter users to criticise the model and Only Fans star for displaying ignorance about the clear opportunities provided by having wealthy, influential family members.
Moss – who has previously discussed her 'uncomfortable' relationship with fame due to benefitting from her connections in her early modelling days – then deactivated her account.
The 'nepo babies' discussion really kicked up a notch in November, after actress and model Lily Rose Depp – daughter of actor Johnny Depp and model Vanessa Paradis – appeared disgruntled about people attributing her success to her parents.
"The internet seems to care a lot about that kind of stuff," she told Elle magazine.
"People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there, and I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part," Depp added.
"The internet cares a lot more about who your family is than the people who are casting you in things. Maybe you get your foot in the door, but you still just have your foot in the door. There's a lot of work that comes after that."

Bluestar: Parallel jathedar stays away
Posted: 2:49 am, June 7, 2018 by admin
Amritsar: Barring minor altercations and sloganeering, the prayer ceremony to mark the 34th anniversary of the Operation Bluestar at the Golden Temple complex here passed off peacefully.Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh appeared to be courteous towards "pro-freedom" Sikh organisations. In his customary "sandesh" (address), without mentioning the name of "Khalistan", he categorically stated that the Congress during the pre-Independence era had promised Sikhs of giving a separate independent state, which was never fulfilled. Rather, the Indian forces attacked Akal Takht and the Golden Temple in 1984, making the Sikh community have a sense of "slavery". A yellow triangular "Khalistan" flag was unfurled at the Akal Takht podium by the SAD (Amritsar), led by Simranjit Singh Mann.The jathedar did not take exception to it and said Mann had attentively listened to the "sandesh" read by him. "It was part of their programme to unfurl the flag. They didn't create any trouble. Mann sahib deserves appreciation for being calm during the customary address. I am pleased to find that no attempt was made to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere of the Golden Temple complex," he said."Parallel" acting jathedar Dhian Singh Mand, appointed during the controversial 2015 Sarbat Khalsa at Chabba, was conspicuous by his absence. He was earlier adamant on delivering the customary address from the Akal Takht only, as he had been doing since 2015. Talking to The Tribune, the jathedar hinted that there was every possibility of all disgruntled Sikh groups coming on one platform at Akal Takht and resolving the differences. General secretary of the SAD (Amritsar) Jarnail Singh Sakhira said though there was no major clash or resistance shown to them by the SGPC this time, only Dhian Singh Mand could lead the Sikh community.
Youths booked
Amid heavy security, commotion was witnessed with minor arguments between SAD (Amritsar) activists and the SGPC task force. This was followed by another instance when two youths were nabbed and beaten up by the SGPC task force. They were identified as Nitin and Harsimran.
Amritsar observes shutdown
City residents observed a shutdown on a call given by the Dal Khalsa. They paid homage to those who laid down their lives during the Operation Bluestar in 1984.

Music and/or song lyrics can help families express their feelings about their loved one in a succinct and beautiful way. Songs can evoke memories of the person who is lost, allow time for reflection, and at the same time help soothe and ease the grief of those people attending the funeral service. Consider choosing some music to be played at the beginning and at the end of the service and/or for musicians to play.
Our caring staff have access to a vast music library and are available to assist families with music selection. As a member of the Australian Funeral Directors Association, R J Sidney Craig Funeral Directors has copyright permission to use recorded songs by artists for funeral and memorial services.
We have put together a list of popular funeral songs to help families in their choice of music.
Flowers are another way of honouring the life and individuality of your loved one. Funeral wreaths (a circular ring of flowers) are a popular choice by which to adorn coffins or caskets followed by funeral sheaths. Funeral sheaths are a flat and elongated presentation of flowers which offer an alternative look to wreaths.
Our caring staff are available to discuss and order the floral tributes chosen by families. Flower delivery can be arranged to the church, chapel or graveside.
Traditionally funeral flower selection has included carnations, chrysanthemums, roses, irises and lilies. Today flower selection by families is varied. Please contact our caring staff for advice.

#TalkinFight #KnuckleUp #AminHachimi
@trboxing
[, Music, ], hello, boxing fans around the world, welcome back to talk and fighting for another episode of knuckle up featuring mike orr at four, and who do you have for us today? Well, first of all, we got cedric ben in the den and he didn't even see him.
Hello, hey cedric, how you doing good good good today i'll leave you two to it.
Then all right today we're talking about hachimi, uh young cat out of spain.
Actually, madrid to be uh to be exact uh this 23 year old 5 foot 11 welterweight is 7-0 right now, with five ko's uh sporting, a 71.
43 knockout rating he's right.
Fifth out of 19 in madrid, he's ranked 273 in the world out of 1858.
His last fight he's coming off of unanimous decision win over jacopo fincino back on september 23rd.
This kid a little bit about a man.
He only had 12 fights as an amateur enough for no one else to want to face him, so he debuted as a professional in a short time accumulated a record of five wins out of five fights for them by ko um.
But then, today he is one of the most promising talents in spanish boxing and today, while dreaming and going to university, he is spearhead of the generation of young boxers who, with little luck, will compete for a world cup uh his record right now.
Right now, he's 7-0 he's he's uh.
You know five ko's right, yeah five kos um he's part of a luch boxing school um.
You know uh in in madrid uh there.
You will find him prepping to train carrying out a ritual with uh patience of an artisan uh, the bandages, the protections, the mouthpiece, the helmet, the gloves he has been doing it since he was 13 years old when he started more by chance than passion, uh.
The devotion would come later when he started with the gloves between gyms, because in madrid it is difficult to fight uh being a minor which is coming of the age of 11 uh uh 11 fights as an amateur he debuted as a professional which led him to 2018 to be treated by most important sports medias, as the young promise um the same year in which he uh, he ended up with an injury to the knuckle of his right hand, which kept him away from the sport for almost 12 months.
Um and after many doctors and many physios, he claimed to be 100 recovered uh.
He set a deadline of a couple years to conquer the spanish championship, the european championship and whatever they allow them.
So guys we're going to be seeing lots of this kid man real soon um, you know he's he's back his hand.
His hand is recovered.
I like watching this kid fight.
Man he's a very quick, very elusive.
Um he's got.
You know power in his hands for such a small guy uh cedric any thoughts, uh yeah, yeah yeah.
Judging by his highlights, he likes to stay nice and long for his um for his combinations.
He can.
He can fight on the inside.
But yes, there's not too much tape on him, so he's not much to see, but just from his training, he you know his uh his favorite spot is.
That is that is that those long distances so yeah man, it's gon na, be interesting.
Five foot eleven at the welterweight division.
You know he's gon na be not towering over guys, but that's pretty tall for that for that for 147 pounds we'll see gon na see, if he's gon na be able to use that reach, because that's the thing a lot.
Sometimes, just because you're tall, everyone just assumes just because you're tall you're going to have to reach advantage but you're that only that advantage is only useful if you know how to use it.
If you haven't have an educated, jab and not just educated jeb, but educated boxing experience in general, so um it's going to be interesting to see if he uses his length or if he wants to choose the fight more on the inside well, either way he does It he can do both we've watched him.
Do it um.
You know that fighting on the inside yeah it's it's it's great, but uh.
The fact that he knows how to use that distance and uh and stay stay at reach length.
You know it's really good guys, we're going to see this kid soon enough on the undercard of a big promotion.
You know, he's earned it he's in every right to be coming stateside, eventually to do it.
You know spain doesn't turn out too many too many prospects.
You know what i mean it's it's one of these things that he's gon na have some big shoes to fill once uh.
Once you know the headlines start uh wasn't sergio martinez from spain.
Yes, pretty sure he was yes, i'm pretty sure as well.
Uh see what i mean: there's not too many people that you know come out of spain, that uh that that do too much in boxing.
So the fact that this kid's on the map right now uh look at it looking to crush it.
Looking to win every every title that he can in madrid before he even comes over here but uh, you know what he's got a great coach, a great gym and uh.
You know what the kid looks.
Great man and i can't wait to see him again in the ring fighting uh, hopefully within the next couple of months – we'll let you guys know but be on the lookout for this kid man, i'm in achieving all those fights are in spain or is he traveling Yeah they've all been in spain so far, uh, it's only a matter of time before we get them on the undercard over here in the states, uh stateside or even in britain.
You never even know right uh but be on the lookout for this kid man.
Another young, hungry undefeated prospect brought to you by mike or f4 online so till tomorrow, uh join us for female friday.
Another wonderful episode i'll have a great prospect for you to be on the lookout for and uh tomorrow night's panel man.
That should be a good one, but until today for today, thank you senator for joining me.
Thanks for all the people that are watching around the world, you know what it is: man bringing you the hottest youngest undefeated undiscovered prospects in the world, and we we don't speak spanish.
So, if any, if is it anything, that's right make sure you at mr uh, mr achimi, and let him know that we feature them on our show.

World's economies show similarities in economic inequality
By Lisa Zyga , Phys.org
Economists who yearn for the redistribution of wealth in an ideal society are up against history. According to a recent study, the uneven distribution of wealth in a society appears to be a universal law that holds true for economies in many different societies, from ancient Egypt to modern Japan and the U.S. This distribution may reflect a simple natural law analogous to a 100-year-old theory describing the distribution of energy in a gas.
Scientists Arnab Chatterjee and Bikas Chakrabarti from the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, along with Sitabhra Sinha of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, both in India, have analyzed a variety models explaining different sets of data, and found striking similarities. The results show that the poorer majority of the population follows one distribution, while a small proportion of the wealthiest people veers off in a tail following a power-law distribution, in essence reflecting how "the rich get richer."
The studies included large sets of data from sources such as income tax returns and net values of assets in societies including Japan, the U.S., the UK, India, and nineteenth century Europe. The data, taken from a large number of recent publications by several groups, represented a variety of different economies and stages of development. Generally, the lower 90% of the population (in terms of income) followed a log-normal distribution, characterized by an initial rapid rise in population followed by a rapid fall as income increased.
The graph at left shows how 90% of a population follows a log-normal wealth distribution, while the richest 10% veers off in a tail following a Pareto power law distribution. Examples of this model with data from different countries are shown at right. Credit: Chatterjee, et al.
However, the top 2-10% of the population deviated from this bulk distribution, as scientists discovered more very rich people than would be expected using the log-normal model. Instead, this top tier followed a power law with a certain exponent called the Pareto exponent, named after Vilfredo Pareto, who first observed this power law in the 1890s.
"While the distribution of the richest 10% does indeed follow a different behavior (power law) than the rest (Gibbs or log-normal), one need not assume different dynamics at work in the two cases," Chatterjee explained to PhysOrg.com. "In fact, both types of distributions can arise from the same model. In the case of the random savings model, the agents having the highest savings fractions will have a higher probability of ending up in the richest 10% of the population, while in the random thrift model, the agents with higher thrift value generally tend to be the richest.
"As an agent gets richer, a feedback effect occurs by which the rich are more likely to gain from a transaction than the poorer agents—thereby resulting in an accumulation of assets for the richer players that is manifested as a power law tail."
When comparing these income and wealth distributions to a physical model called the Gibbs distribution, the scientists found that the economic model of the poorer 90% seemed to fit very well with this natural law. Proposed in the late 1800s, the Gibbs distribution is a thermodynamic model that describes the distribution of energy in an ideal gas in equilibrium.
The economic model and the gas model share basic characteristics. As Chatterjee et al. explain, the asset- (e.g. money-) trading process can be viewed as a molecule scattering process—in both cases, assets or molecules are conserved (on the time scale of the model). Also, even though an individual does not see asset exchanges as random, the scientists show that, from a global level, exchanging assets or scattering molecules are indeed random processes.
"As described in our paper, the Gibbs form seems to be a better fit for the data than the log-normal form (which is preferred by many economists)," Chatterjee explained. "Note, for a particular [savings factor], the resultant [distribution] only fits the lower 90% of the population. To fit the entire range, including the power law tail, one needs a suitably distributed saving propensity. In the thrift model, one obtains realistic values of the Pareto exponent (i.e., as seen in society) by assuming a distribution of the thrift parameter. Hence, both these models can explain both the features of the observed income distribution."
Aside from these general models, the scientists also discovered some interesting details within their results. When comparing wealth (i.e. one's net worth) with income, they found that wealth is much more unequally distributed than income (wealth models always have lower Pareto exponents, for any society). Also, while most of the data for the models is based on individuals, data from companies also seemed to follow the same models.
Even though the model shows a widespread inequality among citizens in a society, however, the scientists' findings might also provide guidance for experts trying to distribute wealth more evenly.
"With uniform savings and large saving propensity, our model would yield a narrow peaked income distribution, which corresponds to a socialist economy," Chatterjee said. "Note that, here, the super-rich are absent, and the bulk of the population is described by a narrow most-probable income distribution, or everybody ending up with the average money in the market—a socialist's ideal dream."
Since the richer agents demonstrate certain characteristics in savings and thrift, the scientists explain that certain characteristics might make citizens in a society "more" financially equal.
"A way to exercise this would be to modify the saving patterns of the individuals, making all of them have a similar and large saving propensity, to be precise. In isolated sectors where such manipulations with savings propensities were possible, our predicted effects had indeed been seen earlier by social statisticians (such as J. Angle) and analysts (such as G. Willis and J. Mimkes).
"In the thrift model," Chatterjee continued, "introducing different distributions of thrift among the agents can result in more or less equitable distributions. Also, introducing certain forms of taxation in random asset exchange models have resulted in more equitable distributions. These could help experts make policies for a more equitable distribution of wealth in society."
