It was none other than the great leader H.E. Kim Il Sung who saved the Korean nation from the miserable fate of a ruined nation.
He was born in Mangyongdae, Pyongyang on April 15, 1912 and embarked on the road of revolutionary struggle for Korea's liberation in his teens. In the course of groping for the road of the Korean revolution, he authored the Juche idea and the Songun idea (army-first idea) and commanded the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle for two decades under its banner, finally achieving the historic cause of Korea's liberation on August 15, 1945.
After his triumphal return to the liberated homeland, he founded the Workers' Party of Korea without delay, carried out the democratic reforms, including the land reform, nationalization of key industrial establishments and enforcement of the Law on Gender Equality, and founded a regular armed force. Based on these achievements, he founded the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the first people's democratic state in the East, on September 9, 1948.
He creditably safeguarded the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK in the Korean War (1950-1953) provoked by the US in an attempt to stifle the two-year-old Republic in its cradle.
He carried out the postwar rehabilitation and the socialist revolution in a short period and led the socialist construction of several stages to victory, thus turning the DPRK into a socialist power, independent in politics, self-sufficient in the economy and self-reliant in defence.
The DPRK conferred the title of Generalissimo on him on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of his birth. Though he passed away on July 8, 1994, he is always alive in the hearts of the Korean people and the world progressives as the founding father of socialist Korea, pioneer of the cause of independence of humankind, eternal President of the DPRK and the Sun of Juche.
The great Leader H.E. Kim Jong Il was born in Mt. Paektu on February 16, 1942.
He spent his childhood hearing the gun reports of the anti-Japanese war. He devoted his whole life to faithfully supporting the idea and cause of the great leader President Kim Il Sung.
He started his Songun-based leadership with the inspection of the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su 105th Guards Tank Division on August 25, 1960. Since his work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea on June 19, 1964, he led the WPK, the army and the people for half a century, performing immortal exploits for the times and the history.
He formulated the revolutionary idea of the great President Kim Il Sung as Kimilsungism and added luster to it as the eternal guiding ideology of the WPK and the DPRK. He proclaimed it as the ultimate programme of the WPK to model the whole society on Kimilsungism and wisely organized and led the work for its realization. He closely rallied broad sections of the masses around the WPK by administering the benevolent and all-embracing politics, and remarkably strengthened the driving force of the socialist cause by realizing consistency of the army and people in ideas and fighting spirit.
After the demise of President Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il set an example in realizing the cause of immortalizing the leader and made sure that the President's lifetime instructions were carried forward as the guidelines in all fields of revolution and construction so as to make his life and exploits shine for ages.
In the closing years of the last century when the DPRK was bearing the brunt of the anti-socialist offensive of the US-led allied imperialist forces, he formulated Songun politics as the main political mode of socialism and administered it in an all-round way.
He developed the Korean People's Army into an invincible army, built up the self-reliant and modern defence industry in every way and realized the arming of all the people and the fortification of the whole country on a high level.
Decade after decade, he kindled the torch of a new revolutionary upsurge and led the drive to flare up the flames of the industrial revolution in the new century, with the result that the DPRK could demonstrate its might as a manufacturer and launcher of artificial satellites and a science and technology power that has full command of CNC technology.
True to the President's instructions for Korea's reunification, he established the Three Charters for National Reunification and saw to it that the June 15 Joint Declaration and the October 4 Declaration were adopted between the north and the south of Korea to usher in a new era of independent reunification movement advancing under the ideal of By Our Nation Itself.
He expanded and developed the relations of friendship and cooperation with other countries aspiring after independence with his seasoned diplomatic strategy and energetic foreign activities and thus made great contributions to safeguarding the peace and stability of Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.
He continued his forced march for field guidance day and night with an indomitable will and superhuman energy, regarding "The People Are My God" as his motto. He passed away in a running train on December 17, 2011.
After his demise, the DPRK conferred the title of Generalissimo of the DPRK on him and held him in high esteem as the eternal General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and the eternal Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission.
The cause of Juche, the cause of Songun, pioneered by the great President Kim Il Sung and developed by the great Leader Kim Jong Il is being carried forward by the respected Supreme Leader H.E. Kim Jong Un.
Having set the modelling of the entire army on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the general task of the army building, he has developed the Korean People's Army into a revolutionary army of the Party strong in ideology and ethics that regards the spirit of devoting their lives to defend the leader as its lifeblood, and into an invincible elite army equipped with the most advanced means of strike and perfect features of a regular army.
He has constantly developed the defense industry on the Juche-oriented, modern and scientific basis and energetically led the production of powerful Juche missiles and weapons. By doing so, he made the country a nuclear and military power that no one would dare to invade and provided a firm military guarantee for prosperity of the fatherland and nation, and for the victorious advance of the socialist cause while greatly enhancing the strategic position of the DPRK.

The History Of Surfing In Ireland
Surfing arrived in Ireland in 1949 when fourteen year old Joe Roddy took to the water on his homemade four metre paddle board near Dundalk. The inspiration for Joe's board came from a wood work manual.
In 1962 Kevin Cavey discovered surfing when he read about it in a Readers Digest. He ordered a balsa surfboard kit after a couple of attempts with marine ply. Following trips to Hawaii and California, Kevin took a stand titled "Bray Island Surf Club" at the 1966 Boat Show, this was the catalyst for the spread of surfing in Ireland. Following the boat show Kevin organised a surfing safari around the coast and on his return the Surf Club of Ireland was founded in Bray. When an invitation arrived to compete at the 1966 World Surfing Championships, Kevin packed his bags and set off for San Diego to become Ireland's first representative at the World Surfing Championships.
The first Irish National Surfing Championships, inspired by Kevin's trip to the World Championships, was held in Tramore in 1967. The title was claimed by Kevin Cavey with Eamon Mathews 2nd and Ted Alexander 3rd. The following year the first Intercounties Championships was held in Rossnowlagh where Down beat Wicklow in the final (neither county has succeeded in reaching the final since). In 1969 Ireland sent its first full team abroad to the inaugural European Surfing Championships held in Jersey.
By the late sixties members of the Surf Club of Ireland began to break away to form other clubs. The South Coast Surf Club, now T-Bay Surf Club, emerged in Tramore along with the West Coast Surf Club in Lahinch, Rossnowlagh Surf Club, North Shore Surf Club in Portrush, and Fastnet Surf Club in Cork. In 1970 the Clubs founded the Irish Surfing Association, the Governing Body of surfing in Ireland today. By then there were about 400 surfers in the country.
In 1972 Ireland hosted the European Surfing Championships in Lahinch, Co Clare. Unfortunately there were only sufficient waves to run off the junior category, however some visitors travelled up the west coast to Easkey and were treated to some excellent waves.
Crisis rocked Irish surfing in 1979 when the Smirnoff International was held in Easkey, Co Sligo. With perfect surf, perfect weather and the resulting publicity both at home and abroad the event organisers declared it a success. However the event was not regarded a success by all. "We enjoyed surfing until we discovered Smirnoff" was painted on a banner and hoisted on Easkey castle during the event by those who opposed the commercialisation and exploitation of the surfing in Ireland. The Irish surfing community met with impasse, on the one hand there were those who wanted surfing in Ireland to remain pure without organisation, commercialisation and publicity and the other side were those who wanted to grow and develop the sport, recognising the need for organisation, commercialisation and publicity to do so.
For over three decades from the late seventies to 2001, Roci Allan and Brian Britton directed the Irish Surfing Association. Their foresight, ambition and determination was momentous during this era, establishing the foundations that we continue to build on today.
Through the eighties the popularity of surfing continued to grow. Irish teams competed regularly at the European and World Championships. In 1985 the European Surfing Championships returned to Ireland, hosted in Bundoran and Rossnowlagh. In 1988 Rossnowlagh Surf Club opened the first purpose built surf club house and the country's first surf shop, Lahinch Surf Shop opened 1989. The Irish Surfing Association initiated its Surf Instructor Development Programme in 1990 with a Level 1 Surf Instructor Course. Surfing was becoming increasingly popular with young people. Ireland attending the first European Junior Surfing Championships in 1990 and in 1992 Ireland returned from the European Junior Surfing Championships with two bronze and one silver medal. Since then Irish Junior Surf Teams have continued to attend Eurojuniors, finishing 5th at Eurojunior 2014, held in the Azores.
By the mid-nineties surfing was starting to explode. In 1995 the Irish Surfing Association set up its headquarters in Easkey and employed a full-time officer to manage activities and administration. By then the Irish Surfing Association was actively involved in club and youth development, promotion of safety, surf instructor education and organisation of competitions and other events. In 1997 the Irish Surfing Association hosted the European Surfing Championships in Bundoran, Co Donegal. The surf was flat for the first seven days of the ten day event however it picked up on the eighth day and due to the efficiency of the event management team the entire competition was run in two and a half days with perfect Peak on the final day. The contest was regarded as a huge success by all.
In 1999 TBay Surf Club opened their purpose build club house, the TBay Surf & Eco Centre. Over the years the club and centre has gone from strength to strength, to accommodate an expansions in activities and members, TBay recently completed an impressive extension to their existing facility.
In 2001 the Irish Surfing Association was again rocked by controversy, to host the World Surfing Games 2004 or not. Following much debate it was decided to abandon the World Surfing Games to focus on grassroots development. Michael Kelly was appointed Chair following the resignations of long time Chair, Roci Allan and President, Brian Britton.
In 2011, the Irish Surfing Association once again hosted the European Surfing Championships in Bundoran. The event was a resounding success but by mid 2012 the Irish Surfing Association was in turmoil and facing demise until Henry Moore and Cliodhna Fawl stepped forward. A restructuring soon followed and by early 2013 a new board of directors was in place to govern the Irish Surfing Association. 2014 has seen a strong emphasis on junior surfing and coaching at club level.

Jazz - Liste de la musique. Les meilleurs airs classiques.
Jazz originates from the southern states of USA in about 1900. It started when black Americans adapted their traditional work-songs and spirituals into Blues . They then adopted the instruments of the marching brass band, and this music evolved into the form known today as Traditional jazz, New Orleans or Dixieland. One of its main features is improvisation, based on a rigorous harmonic sequence determined by the theme tune of the music. The tunes were usually well known popular tunes of the day, or folk songs or spirituals, and this theme would be clearly stated at the start, usually by the trumpet. But then the players would improvise around this tune, but always maintaining the harmonic sequence.
When Jazz moved North with the migration of black Americans to Chicago, other forms of Jazz evolved, and were taken up and enthusiastically adapted by white musicians.
One such variation is Jazz Swing. Typically, this is music written in 4/4 time, in which dotted quavers followed by semiquavers are played as two thirds then one third of a triplet, giving the swing feel to the music. Lots of popular songs of the 30's, 40's and 50's were orchestrated in the Jazz Swing manner. Frank Sinatra was a famous singer who adopted this style as his own.
Another variation is the Big Band Sound. Here the Traditional Jazz band of trumpet, trombone, tuba (or double bass), and clarinet is greatly enlarged by the doubling or tripling of these instruments, and the addition of tenor and alto saxophones. Glenn Miller is one of the most famous exponents of this style. It was immensely popular in dance halls of the 20's and 30's.
In the late 60's Rock and Roll took over from jazz as the mainstream popular music form. New, more abstract and dissonant forms of Jazz emerged, variously called Cool Jazz, Modern Jazz and Progressive Jazz. These were never as popular as the earlier forms, and so jazz is now a minority taste for its enthusiastic followers.

Aim. Determination of first line treatment with limited hepatectomy or Anatomical hepatectomy provides better clinical outcome. Methods. Immediate and long-term outcomes of 106 patients who underwent partial hepatectomy for RH at our institution from January 2001 to February 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical end-points included time to recovery of hepatic function, residual stones, infection of the liver remnant, bile leakage, recurrent stones, morbidity, and mortality. Results. LH was performed in 59 patients and AH in 47 patients as first-line treatment. The time of hepatic function recovery was not statistically different between the two groups ( ). However, Patients in AH group suffered from less residual stones ( ), less infection of the raw surface of liver remnant ( ), and less bile leakage ( ), with a median follow-up of months (range 3–48), and AH group suffered a less recurrent stone rate ( ). No difference in morbidity, and mortality rates between the two groups. Conclusion. AH is a safe and effective treatment for RH, with a fair rate of surgical complications, it should be considered as first-line treatment of RH.
Hepatolithiasis, which is defined as the occurrence of stones in any intrahepatic bile duct proximal to the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts, is prevalent disease in Southeast Asia and is especially prevalent in China [1, 2]. Su et al. [3] reported that the relative incidence to be 20% of all cases of gallstone disease. Huang ZQ reported hepatolithiasis is now become to be mild symptoms, regional types, and early disease courses [4]. To prevent immediate and late sequelae of hepatolithiasis, such as suppurative cholangitis, septicemia, secondary biliary cirrhosis with resultant portal hypertension, bleeding varices, and hepatic failure [5], aggressive treatment is needed. Surgeons have persistently explored for its treatment, from bile duct exploration to liver parenchyma incision, cholangioscopic lithotomy, and liver resection; all are for one single purpose: "to remove lesions, extract up stone, correct stricture, keep drainage thoroughly, and prevent recurrence". Hepatectomy seems to be the most definitive approach for hepatolithiasis, because it can remove the stones and the biliary stricture simultaneously, thus reducing the risk of recurrent stones [6–9]. Hepatectomy offers the optimal treatment for this disease in selected patients [8–11]. Unfortunately, immediate and long clinical outcomes after partial hepatectomy is still unsatisfactory because of the high incidence of complications such as bile leakage, hepatic section infection, subdiaphragmatic hydrops infection, and residual and recurrence of stones [11–13].
Because the majority of patients with hepatolithiasis have underlying cirrhosis, preservation of enough liver parenchyma is critical for the success of the operation [14]. Many surgeons preferred LH for hepatolithiasis and just extract up stones with other methods such as combined cholangioscopic lithotomy intra- and postoperation.
To date, no comparative study or randomized trial has addressed the issue of managing RH with LH and AH as first-line treatment to compare their relative efficacies. At our institution, all hepatolithiasis are referred to the surgical unit. We hypothesize that AH can produce better clinical outcome than LH for RH.
2.1. Patients
A search of the departmental database was carried out for patients who underwent treatment of hepatolithiasis. The 4-year period of January 2001 till February 2005 inclusive was reviewed. Regional hepatolithiasis was defined as stones locally distributed in one or several hepatic segments along the intrahepatic biliary tree, often complicated with hepatic duct stenosis in the affected area, as well as atrophy of involved hepatic segments. Patients were included in the study if they met the stone-grouping criteria described in the 2007 Guidance for Diagnosis and Treatment of Hepatolithiasis, issued by the Biliary Surgery Group of the Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association. Patients were excluded if they were not amenable to hepatectomy, or if there was a concomitant pathology that required urgent surgical intervention. These included patients with acute cholecystitis, liver abscess, and acute cholangitis from choledocholithiasis, those who complicated cholangiocarcinoma confirmed preoperative were also excluded. Patients with hepatolithiasis suffered both liver resection and cholangiojejunostomy that were excluded as well.
In all patients, the clinical parameters, hematologic and biochemical findings, and radiologic findings were obtained from the case records. The extent and severity of the disease were evaluated by biochemical tests, instrumental examination including hepatic ultrasonography, abdominal spiral CT-scan, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), and, in some cases, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC).
The approach to hepatectomy of RH was determined and carried out by the individual surgeons. The unique situation in our department was that 1 team of surgeons favored the use of LH and 1 favored AH of RH for first-line treatment. Their choice of treatment was consistent over the period of the study, and this allowed for comparison of treatment between the 2 groups.
2.2. Surgical Technique
The indications for hepatectomy for these patients were intrahepatic lithiasis that caused liver fibrosis or atrophy or fibrotic stricture of left or right hepatic duct or their second/third branches.
Anatomic hepatectomy, in the form of segmentectomy and/or subsegmentectomy as described by Makuuchi et al. [15], was our preferred surgical method in AH group. Operative procedures in anatomical group were defined following the terminology proposed by Strasberg [16]: segmentectomy (resection of Cournand's segment) [15, 17], sectionectomy (resection of Healey's segment) [18], hemihepatectomy, or trisectionectomy. In segmentectomy, the hepatic parenchyma was transected at the intersegmental plane as described by Cournand. If the hepatic parenchymal transection plane needed to go beyond the intersegmental plane to achieve the desired extent of resection margin, the small portal branches supplying the liver parenchyma up to the aimed transection plane were punctured under ultrasound guidance, and then liver subsegmentectomy was performed either alone or in combination with segmentectomy along the plane of demarcation as delineated by intraoperative ultrasound. We always resected the whole liver segment(s) which contained the expanded and strictured duct in anatomical resection, as well as the drainage area of bile duct.
Limited hepatectomy, in the form of nonanatomic resection or wedge resection, was performed with no regard to segmental or subsegmental plane. In LH group, only liver fibrosis or atrophy tissue was resected and then extracted stones with stone forceps or cholangioscopy from the expanded bile duct of the raw transection surface. Wedge resection was only performed for the superficial Calculi situated at the border of more than one liver segment.
In both groups, a T-tube was routinely inserted after hepatectomy for postoperative cholangiography and choledochoscopy via the T-tube route. After liver resection, intraoperative choledochoscopy was routinely used instead of intraoperative cholangiography for confirmation of stone clearance. Hepatic inflow occlusion to control blood loss during liver parenchyma transection was achieved by clamping the portal triad structures (hepatic artery, portal vein and common bile duct) with a tourniquet if necessary. Drains were placed routinely in the subphrenic space or the Winslow's foramen for draining peritoneal fluid in all patients. Drains were removed when the drainage became serous in nature and not bile-stained or blood-stained at postoperative day 3 to 6.
2.3. Postoperative Treatment
The postoperative treatment included the return to oral feeding after 48 hours via nasogastric aspiration, inhibitors of gastric acid secretion and broad-spectrum antibiotics, daily biochemical monitoring of blood crasis, and of hepatic function for the first 5 postoperative days.
2.4. Follow-Up
After discharge, the clinical conditions as well as the hepatic function of all patients were monitored according to a median follow-up of 40.3 0.8 months. Liver morphological findings were obtained by ultrasonography and (or) abdominal CT.
The clinical end points used in the study include the following.
(a)Time of hepatic function recovery: the time was defined as the number of days from the day of initiation of hepatectomy to the time that the biochemical indicator had declined to normal according to daily hepatic function of the first five postoperative days.(b)A residual stone was defined as Calculi in the intrahepatic duct within 3 months after hepatectomy; diagnosis is frequently with cholangiography, sonography, or abdominal CT.(c)Infection of liver remnant was defined as the remnant surface had necrosis and liquation and had the evidenced of infection from 1 week to 1 month: (1) WBC counts increase beyond 10 109/L or neutrocyte exceed 80%; (2) .liquor pruis fluid in peritoneal drainage tube, had a fever of or more for two consecutive days.(d)Postoperative bile leakage was diagnosed based on the following criteria: (1) bile fluid in the peritoneal drainage or oozing from the wound and (2) evidence of bile leakage proven by cholangiography through T tube.(e)Recurrent stones are defined as Calculi in the intrahepatic duct within a median follow-up of 40.3 0.8 months after hepatectomy; diagnosis is frequently with cholangiography, sonography, or abdominal CT. (f)Mortality was defined as death within 30 days or within the same hospital admission.
2.5. Analysis and Statistics
Patients' demographic data and clinical outcomes were collected retrospectively. The database was established in SPSS13.0 software. All continuous data were expressed as median SEM. Student test was used to compare continuous data, and chi-square test or the Fisher exact test was used to compare discrete data. value less than .05 was considered statistically significant.
A total of 120 patients were treated with LH and AH over the 4-year period of the study. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, 106 patients were eligible for further analysis. Fourteen patients were excluded; 1 had suspected rupture of abscess, 7 had concomitant acute cholangitis and 5 acute cholecystitis requiring urgent surgical intervention, and 1 had suspected cholangiocarcinoma. There were a total of 41 men and 65 women, with a median age of 52 1.2 years (range: 24–84). All patients were ethnic Chinese. Fifty-nine patients underwent LH, and the other 47 underwent AH as first-line treatment. The clinical and laboratory parameters of both patient groups are compared in Table 1. There was no significant difference in the patient demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory parameters between the 2 treatment arms.
Characteristics of patients with regional hepatolithiasis treated by limited hepatectomy (LH) or anatomical hepatectomy (AH).
The characteristics of the hepatolithiasis treated in both groups are shown in Table 2. All cases were regional type, and the distributions of stones in both groups are similar. The peak incidence of hepatolithiasis in our cohort occurred in left lobe (76/106).
Characteristics of regional hepatolithiasis treated by limited hepatectomy (LH) or anatomical hepatectomy (AH).
Operative procedures in anatomical group were one or two segmentectomy in 17 cases, sectionectomy in 25 cases, hemihepatectomy in 4 cases, and trisectionectomy in 1 case (Table 3). Mean operation time was 284 ± 11 minutes in anatomical group and 259 ± 18 minutes in nonanatomical group ( ). Mean operative blood loss was 783 ± 62 mL and 657 ± 103 mL, respectively ( ).
Operative procedures for anatomical liver resection.
There were no death in both LH and AH group. The clinical outcome in both treatment arms is shown in Table 4. There was no significant difference between LH and AH in time to restoration of liver function when treatment was successful. However, the immediate stone clearance rate was better in AH group (45/47); only 2 patients had residual stones. After subsequent choledochoscopic lithotripsy by T-tube route, both patients got a final stone clearance. 1 patient with infection of the liver remnant achieved recovery through percutaneous drainage guided by B-us and broad-spectrum antibiotics. There was no occurrence of bile leakage in AH group. And during a median follow-up, no recurrent stones developed. Our series showed that the morbidity of AH was 6.4% (3/47), compared with 47.5% (28/59) in LH.
Clinical Outcomes of patients treated by limited hepatectomy (LH) or anatomical hepatectomy (AH).
However, LH group suffered a less immediate stone clearance rate (46/59), 9 patients got a final stone clearance after choledochoscopic lithotripsy by T-tube route, and 2 patients had a second procedure of bile duct exploration because of accompaniment bile leakage. The other 2 patients with no symptom give up further therapy. More infection of liver remnant (21/59) and bile leakage (7/59) occurred in LH group; those patients suffered a long-time drainage and hospital stay. During a median follow-up of 40.3 ± 0.8 months, 12 of the 59 patients had recurrent stones development, confirmed by CT scan and cholangiography.
As a common disease of the biliary system, hepatolithiasis is of complicated pathological changes with high residual stone rate, recurrence rate, and resurgery rate; also it is a significant cause for deaths due to benign biliary disease in our country. The treatment is mainly dependent on surgical operation, in accordance with the principle of "removing lesions, extracting up stone, correcting stricture, maintaining drainage thoroughly, and preventing recurrence". The principles of definitive surgery for hepatolithiasis comprises complete removal of intrahepatic and extrahepatic stones, strictured duct, and the establishment of satisfactory drainage of the affected segments of biliary tree [19]. The surgical methods include intrahepatic bile duct exploration, partial hepatectomy, hilar biliary stricture reconstruction, and liver transplantation [20]. In recent years, liver resection has been applied in patients with hepatolithiasis more and more extensively [21–23]. Nevertheless, the previous understanding of "removing lesions" was limited to removing stone, biliary stricture, and hepatic abscess, and so forth and overlooked the fact that affected liver lobes (segments) and biliary tree are all lesions.
Some surgeons preferred LH for hepatolithiasis for the reason of preserving enough functioning liver parenchyma to allow the patient to survive the operation, and preservation of enough liver parenchyma is critical for the success of the operation [14]. And resection of atrophic segments was not technically difficult, as most of the tissue had been destroyed. Stone removal could also be facilitated through the transected duct orifices. It seems a safe procedure with a scare possibility of liver failure. However, AH is unlikely to be ethically acceptable because surgical stress of anatomical major resection is apparently greater and many surgeons will be reluctant to choose possibly unnecessary major hepatectomy for regional hepatolithiasis. And many other methods such as cholangioscopic lithotripsy can also be helped to clean stones intra- and postoperation. To minimize total surgical stress, limited small resection was preferentially applied in regional hepatolithiasis. Lithotripsy is effective in removing stones, but residual stones are common after either intra- or postoperative lithotripsy, especially when a segment of liver is packed with stones.
LH targeted at removal of the destroyed lobe and preservation of good liver tissue should be the goal. This was shown in our series to have achieved bad outcomes. Liver tissues around bile duct with chronic inflammation were often maintained in LH. It was found through subsequent clinical observation that, although such hepatic tissues possibly maintained hepatic cell function, long-standing chronic inflammation of hepatic tissues around bile duct, as well as the unavoidable residual bile sands, would be mostly the source for later cholangitis and recurrent stone, and hepatic cell function would be lost eventually. Especially in patients with cholangitis, the intrahepatic bile duct was full of purulent floccules, as well as inflammatory bile thrombi. It is difficult to eliminate such mixtures by the bile duct itself, which is the major factor for persistent fever and recurrent stones postoperatively. Therefore, "removing lesions" plays a crucial role in treatment of hepatolithiasis. The lesions of hepatolithiasis include stones, stricture, dilation, and also affected hepatic tissues. According to pathological features, the diseased scope of RH is strictly distributed along the biliary tree, which included stone-bearing segments that are not atrophic.
A strict, hepatic segment-based regular resection for regional hepatolithiasis is needed, and patients with RH would definitely benefit from a more aggressive approach. AH is the optimized method for this condition, which completely removes diseased bile duct and its drainage area, thus reducing the risk of long-term recurrence of stones and may also prevent cholangiocarcinoma possibly complicated in hepatolithiasis [9]. Our experience was that, guided by intraoperative ultrasound, a segment or subsegment-based liver resection was carried out strictly. After liver resection and hemostasis was achieved, bioglue was used for sealing the raw surface of liver remnant. As is shown in Table 4, the results of AH group were good when contrasted with those of LH group. Our series showed that the morbidity of AH was 6.4% (3/47), compared with 47.5% (28/59) in LH. To minimize surgical stress and operative risk only, nonanatomical limited hepatectomy should be a basic surgical procedure for RH. When taken surgical complications into account, AH is a safe and effective treatment, with a high stone clearance rate and fair rate of surgical complications. And AH should be the most effective treatment for hepatolithiasis and removes not only all of the hepatic stones but also the associated pathological bile ducts including stricture, fibrosis, abscess, and carcinomatous bile ducts [24].
For hepatolithiasis limited to a lobe (segment), irrespective of lobular atrophy or fibrosis, may receive AH, which results in radical cure and minimal affection on hepatic function; the stone located in several adjacent hepatic segments is also occurred frequently and may theoretically be cured by means of AH through complete removal of the stones, biliary strictures, and areas of postobstructive biliary dilation to prevent progressive liver damage and potential malignancy [8, 25]. However, not many patients received thorough resection of diseased liver tissues containing stones for the reason of protecting functioning hepatic cells as possible. The optimal management of these complex hepatolithiasis remains a very difficult and challenging task.
Our study can be criticized for its patient and treatment selection, the lack of assessment of quality-of-life issues when comparing AH and LH, as well as the retrospective nature of assessment of outcome. However, it highlights the possibility that AH does have a role in first-line management for RH. It can result in better clinical outcomes than LH with comparable morbidity and mortality. This forms the rationale for a randomized trial comparing AH with LH to circumvent the selection bias and address this controversial issue.

14 March 1954: Brazil play in yellow for the first time
'I won a seat for life in the Maracana' : Aldyr Garcia Schlee was a 19-year-old illustrator when he won the competition to design Brazil's new kit

In 1953 I saw a competition in the Rio newspaper Correio da Manha to design a new strip for the national team for the 1954 World Cup. I was 19, working as a newspaper illustrator in Pelotas, a small town in the very south of Brazil on the Uruguay border. I entered the competition for a bit of fun.
Until 1953 Brazil had played in white shirts with blue trim, but after losing the 1950 World Cup to Uruguay in the Maracana, these "unpatriotic" colours took some of the blame for the defeat. It was a national trauma which it took the country years to get over.
The paper stipulated that the new strip must use all four colours of the Brazilian flag - green, yellow, blue and white. That was a problem: no football strip has four colours, especially four that don't go together. I sketched dozens of combinations, and in the end decided that blue goes with white, so that's the shorts, and the shirt must be yellow. Green, no way - just use it for the trim, it'll work with yellow that way. And keep the socks simple - so all white.
I didn't know I'd won until I picked up the paper one day in the newsagent. The prizes were very good: cash of R$20,000 in today's money (around pounds 6,200), which I gave to my father a six-month apprenticeship as a graphic designer at the newspaper, which served me well a seat for life in the Maracana and a chance to stay with the team for the World Cup qualifiers for 1954.
Watching Brazil wearing my shirt for the first time against Chile was nice [they won 1-0] but the most thrilling moment came when they took me to present the strip to five stars of the team: Pinheiro, Rubens, Ademir, Zizinho and Nilton Santos. I was so nervous - they were my idols. When it came to meeting Zizinho, he gave me a smile and whispered: "Don't worry, all this is bullshit!" This was a great lesson about football. There was a lot of marketing nonsense even back then.
The yellow "canary" shirt has been adopted by all Brazilian sport teams over the years and become a symbol of the whole nation, not just football - not that I was responsible for this. It hasn't changed much. When Nike started sponsoring Brazil they messed around with it too much, putting those horrible green vents under the arms. It looked more like a parrot than a canary!
Designing the shirt has never been the most important thing in my life. I guess it is fate that I have a greater affection for Uruguay than Brazil. I lived right on the border - I saw Brazil play Uruguay in Montevideo a few years ago and cried at the Uruguayan national anthem, not the Brazilian one. But am I proud of the strip? Of course, Brazil have won five World Cups wearing it.
Then what happened
Aldyr quit graphic design and became a writer, twice winning the Bienale of Brazilian literature. His sketches for the strip were used on the cover of the book Futebol: The Brazilian Way of Life by the Guardian's former Brazil correspondent, Alex Bellos (Bloomsbury, pounds 7.99).

Q: Java unable to open main class and jar file I've written a Java chat application using client/server architecture. As a build tool I've used Maven. The server side interface is based on command-line and the problem is that I can't run the application by cmd neither with command
java Main

from {basedir}/target/classes (Main is my main class), nor with command opening the jar file
java -jar ChatServer-1.0-SNAPSHOT

form {basedir}/target. I haven't created any packages for my classes, they are placed in {basedir}/src/main/java directory. When I try load my Main class, this is the output:

When I try to open my jar file, this is the output:

Cascara cider is the brain child of Moa Founder Josh Scott and self-proclaimed coffee and tea nerd Claris Jones-White. Having cottoned on to Cascara tea's refreshing attributes, a chance meeting between Nelson-born Claris and Josh saw the collaboration take place.
Firstly for those who don't know, Cascara is the skin that remains after coffee beans are removed from the inside of a coffee cherry, athin-fleshed fruit which ripens around nine months after the coffee plant flowers.
The brew was created by fashioning what became a giant tea bag, with each dunk the Moa brewers added a hit of Casacra, leaving both collaborators thrilled with the end product.
"The black Doris plum properties and tea-like tannins of the coffee cherry skins work well with the dryness of the traditional apple cider, creating an almost peaty or whisky like finish. Serve it straight-up chilled, over ice or with a touch of fresh lime in the heat of the summer sun," says Claris.
The result is an easily sippable cider with fruity flavours of apple, plum and cherry, a hint of oak from the French Oak chips also used in the fermentation process and a slightly peaty aftertaste.

Q: Fibonacci with a Twist - JavaScript I was asked this question for a JavaScript interview.
Implement fibonacci series to list the sequence up n numbers (n not included) where recursion happens only for even numbers.
for example
fib(10) -> fib(8) + fib (6)
fib(8) -> fib(6) + fib(4)
fib(6)  -> fib(4) +fib(2)
fib(4) -> fib(2)

I am not sure how to go about this.

A: This definitely needs more clarification. (Interviewer should probably have been more clearer).
But from what I understand...
So the series has to start somewhere and I'm assuming it starts at fib(2) = 1. And going with the "code" part given by the interviewer.
This could be as simple as:

*

*fib(2) = 1

*fib(4) = 1

*fib(6) = 2

*...

i.e. fib(n) = fib_orig(n/2)

A: Consideration
fib( 4) = fib( 2)           =  1 * fib(2)
fib( 6) = fib( 4) + fib( 2) =  2 * fib(2)
fib( 8) = fib( 6) + fib( 4) =  3 * fib(2)
fib(10) = fib( 8) + fib( 6) =  5 * fib(2)
fib(12) = fib(10) + fib( 8) =  8 * fib(2)
fib(14) = fib(12) + fib(10) = 13 * fib(2)
                               ^
                               this is fibonacci

In code we get this - a nice little recursion (valid for all even n >= 0):
var i;

function fib(n) {
    switch (true) {
        case n === 0:
            return 0;
        case n === 2:
            return 1;
        default:
            return fib(n - 2) + fib(n - 4);
    }
}

function writeFib(n) {
    document.write('fib(' + n + ') = ' + fib(n) + ' * fib(2)
');
}

for (i = 0; i <= 20; i += 2) {
    writeFib(i);
}

If you want a result like fib(10) -> fib(8) + fib(6), then this will do it (no recursion):
var i;

function fib(n) {
    switch (true) {
        case n === 0:
            return '0';
        case n === 2:
            return 'fib(2)';
        default:
            return 'fib(' + (n - 2) + ') + fib(' + (n - 4) + ')';
    }
}

function writeFib(n) {
    document.write('fib(' + n + ') -> ' + fib(n) + '
');
}

for (i = 0; i <= 20; i += 2) {
    writeFib(i);
}

Humberside selected
East Yorkshire Tory MPs vote against 'caravan tax'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-17773553
Image caption The caravan industry claimed the tax would lead to 2,000 job losses.
Three East Yorkshire Conservative MPs have voted against government plans to introduce VAT on static caravans.
In a parliamentary vote, 17 Conservatives voted in favour of an amendment to the Finance Bill that would have stopped the tax, cutting the government's majority to 25.
The caravan industry has claimed the tax will lead to 2,000 job losses.
Prime Minister David Cameron had earlier described the introduction of the tax as "fair".
The East Yorkshire Conservative MPs voting against the tax included David Davis, Andrew Percy and Graham Stuart. They were joined by the Conservative MP for Cleethorpes, Martin Vickers.
The only politician from the region to vote with the government was Greg Knight, Conservative MP for East Yorkshire.
Speaking during the debate in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Graham Stuart, MP for Beverley and Holderness, said he was concerned the impact the tax would have on caravan manufacturing, the bulk of which is based in East Yorkshire.
'Can't defend it'
"[It would] at best raise £45m a year while damaging the economy in East Yorkshire and damaging rural economies across the UK," he said.
"Therefore, I would call on the government to listen to the representations from the chamber today, from the industry over the coming weeks and to think again."
One Conservative politician who spoke out in favour of the tax was Nadhim Zahawi, the MP for Stratford-upon-Avon.
He said: "You can't defend this anomaly for what is deemed to be a luxury purchase.
"The idea that a towable caravan is 'VAT-able' and a static one is not is indefensible."
The industry's trade association, the National Caravan Council (NCC), has said that using the government's projected figures of a 30% decline in sales due to the new tax could mean that "in the first year, more than 1,000 jobs could be lost in manufacturing, plus a similar number from suppliers to the industry".

Bronfman stokes a Russian storm in Prokofiev's "War" sonatas
By George Grella
New York Classical Review
Prokofiev's piano sonatas are an outstanding body of work, music that tests the limits of sonata form, dusting off and polishing up old ideas for a modern age. They are structurally and thematically inventive, full of energy, intellect, and complex emotions.
The pinnacle of the ten sonatas is the group of "War" sonatas, No. 6, 7, and 8. Prokofiev began these in 1939, and they were finished in 1940, 1942, and 1944, respectively. The title is circumstantial but fitting—despite the first being completed before war reached Russia, they are closely related by mood and expression, and even share some structural ideas.
Yefim Bronfman played the three sonatas Saturday night at Carnegie Hall, an installment in a series of Prokofiev recitals he is giving there this season. Bronfman is one of the great interpreters of the sonatas, a peer in this music and natural successor in the line that descends from Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter. His astonishing playing Saturday night affirmed that.
The sonatas are notoriously difficult pieces for a pianist. Played well, their challenge to the listener is their intensity, the disorienting alternation between extreme, even violent, angularity, and a pastoral introversion.
Bronfman has the emotional musical temperament that can range from wistful to explosive, and a technique that can handle the fingering and the speeds—in fact Saturday he frequently pressed tempos to tension-inducing heights.
While on the surface, Sonata No. 6 matches tradition sonata form, Prokofiev stretches every structural idea to the limit. The opening bars, with a staggered rhythm in the right hand over crashing octaves in the left, the base moving by a tritone, are like a violent drunk trampling his way down the street.
The siren call for a pianist in this music is a kind of demented exaggeration, and Bronfman, despite the physical power of his playing, actually maintained an exact sense of rhythm and phrasing. With this, he brought out the expressive strangeness of the secondary theme and the transitional material. The return of the opening theme was not just loud and exciting, but conditioned by a transformative understanding of the intervening music. It was a sonata-allegro movement played with respect for the form, and brilliantly realized in this performance
This is music about conflict, and World War II is there, certainly. But abstracted through the music, something else comes through—that quality unique to Prokofiev of setting pastoral against mechanical music. The conflict is between man and machine, and the explosively grim intensity at the end of the first two sonatas seems to say that the machines will win.
Conflict comes in unexpected places, like the Allegretto of Sonata No. 6, where it is colored by Prokofiev's sarcasm. Bronfman's touch here was light. Humanity shines fully in slow movements, like the waltz of No. 6, where Bronfman's playing was soulful, with ideal phrasing.
The pianist's range and depth of thought and feeling throughout the concert equalled that of the composer. There was something thrillingly sadistic about how much control he had over the notes, and how he channeled so much force through that. His fierce attack on the last notes of Sonata No. 6 literally threw himself back from the stool.
His performance of Sonata No. 7 was so astonishing that it produced involuntary cries from the audience at the last, pounding chords of the Precipitato movement. What must it be like to create abstract order when the world is burning around you? That is the sound of this sonata, and again Bronfman's range was incredible—he played like a machine and like a penitent, capable of both love and murder.
The music has wild swings of stillness and violence, and Bronfman slowly accumulated a critical mass of unstable material. In the Precipitato, his left hand built a truly awe-inspiring amount of weight and tension, playing with a subtle swing and slowly ramping up the dynamic level and sense of violence. It was like the inevitable, steady approach of a pile driver, manned by Gene Krupa.
Sonata No. 8, which came after intermission, finds some measure of stability. Victory is on the way, as heard in the third movement, which has qualities both of an 18th century sonata and a triumphal march from a news reel. Bronfman blasted through this with spectacular vitality, but before that, the Andante Sognando was just as spectacularly plangent, a reflection back on disaster from a point of safety.
Bronfman played one encore, Schumann's Op. 18 Arabeske. It was exceedingly gentle, understated, and expressively legato, and settled the mind and heart poignantly.
Review: Pianist Yefim Bronfman
BY OLIN CHISM
Star-Telegram.com
This is a season for Sergei Prokofiev. The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Miguel Harth-Bedoya and Vadym Kholodenko are winding up recording the Russian composer's five piano concertos for later release on Harmonia Mundi.
And on Tuesday night, Yefim Bronfman presented an all-Prokofiev program including four of the nine piano sonatas.
None of this was boring, because Prokofiev was a man of many musical moods and stylistic adventures.
Tuesday night's Cliburn at the Bass program was a demonstration of that variety. It included two of the best-known Prokofiev sonatas and two of the least-known.
You'd likely never guess that all four are by the same composer unless you knew beforehand.
The very least known is probably the Sonata No. 1 in F minor. This turned out to be a busy work, mostly in quick tempos, and — the big surprise — with hints of Sergei Rachmaninoff and even Johannes Brahms in the musical thicket. This was not the sardonic Prokofiev of later reputation.
By the way, the complete sonata came in at about six minutes. No time for tedium there.
The first of Tuesday's best-known sonatas was the Sonata No. 6 in A Major. It is often grouped with the seventh and eighth sonatas, the three being called the "war sonatas" and associated with World War II.
It's not clear that Prokofiev had this in mind. The sixth sonata was composed more than a year before Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and it could be argued that none of the three (except possibly the seventh) is particularly bellicose.
At any rate, the sixth sonata has some tough music but also some contemplative and perky passages.
A big contrast was the Sonata No. 5 in C Major, which was the third work on the Bass Hall program. This is a lovely and mostly gentle work whose playfulness and contemplative mood were a shift from the more rugged music surrounding it.
The finale was the Sonata No. 7, which, like the sixth sonata, is a Cliburn competition mainstay. Its hypnotic second movement and dramatic finale represent the Prokofiev that most music-lovers know.
Bronfman was impressive throughout. His evocative performance was mood-setting in tranquil passages and compelling in moments of musical drama. The seventh sonata was a potent conclusion to the scheduled program. The encore, a lovely piece by Schumann, was a strikingly effective shift in mood.

Companies like IBM are cutting underperforming business segments loose. Result: better stocks. Here's where to find the next divesters.
Toys "R" Us, the inventor of chain-store toy discounting, is being run ragged by Wal-Mart. Tossing its hands up, in August 2004 Toys "R" Us announced plans to separate its toy business from its Babies "R" Us unit. Sales at the company's U.S. toy business had declined in each of the past three years, and the profit margin had fallen to 2% in 2003.
Babies "R" Us has increased sales 10% annually since 2000, and its EBIT margin (earnings before interest and taxes as a percentage of sales) has averaged 11%. Wall Street has applauded the proposed split, sending the stock up 27% since the announcement. Why jettison the business the company was founded on? The name of the game, says retail analyst Berke Bakay of Eqyty Research & Management, is "unlocking shareholder value."
If you own Toys "R" Us shares, you likely will come out ahead, either by cashing in at the parent company's deal-fueled price or by waiting for someone to buy the toys unit. The $1.8 billion (sales) Babies "R" Us will be growing and swollen with cash from the sale of its sister division.
In a similar vein IBM will sell its personal computer business to China's Lenovo Group because IBM can make more money on things like consulting than on PCs. Divestiture deals are on the rise. Thomson Financial forecasts over $200 billion worth of them in the U.S. in 2004, up 30% from 2002.
This is typical of bear market recovery behavior, says David Katz, chief investment officer at Matrix Asset Advisors. Two holdovers from the hard times--low interest rates and cash-flush corporate balance sheets--give buyers of castoffs the wherewithal. Cash for companies in the S&P Industrials, an index of 383 companies that excludes financial firms, is $600 billion, more than twice what it was five years ago.
All that has to be overcome now is the natural disinclination of chief executives to dismantle their empires. Says Tony R. Boase, who tracks several conglomerates for A.G. Edwards: "It's unfortunate the success of a General Electric or an IBM leads people to believe they shouldn't divest businesses."
How to find the next Toys "R" Us? We searched through Securities & Exchange Commission filings for large-cap companies that report results for multiple business segments. Our targets (see table) were companies where one segment has severely underperformed the others in profitability over the past three years.
At Limited Brands, Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works have been racking up operating margins (net before interest, taxes and depreciation as a percent of sales) over 20%. Their strong performance boosted the stock 32% in 2004 to a recent $24. But the apparel division, which includes the Limited and Express stores, is doing only 6% on its $2.7 billion in sales.
Unloading the apparel group would move the company's operating margin from the bottom of the retail sector to near the top. And, says retail analyst Bakay, there would be a higher earnings multiple. Limited says it is "committed to the apparel division in the near term." But note that the company has a history of divesting underperforming assets, including retailer Lane Bryant in 2001.
Cendant, home to brands like motel chain Ramada Inn and real estate broker Coldwell Banker, also has a long history of buying and selling businesses. There's evidence that Cendant is willing to shed more divisions. Last year it tried unsuccessfully to sell its mortgage division to reduce earnings volatility. So Cendant upped the ante by folding its fleet management arm (handling other companies' trucks and cars) into the deal. Now Cendant plans to spin off the mortgage-fleet combo to shareholders.


Following the death of his fiancé Laura Avila, who suffered severe brain damage after seeking plastic surgery in Mexico last month, Enrique Cruz is seeking legal action against the doctors responsible.
Avila, a 36-year-old woman from Dallas, Texas, was put on life support earlier this month after her family claims doctors at Rino Center in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, allegedly placed anesthesia incorrectly in her spine before a procedure at the end of October. Avila's sister, Angie, posted about her death on Facebook.
Cruz wrote a similar message on Facebook after losing his fiancée, adding that he plans to pursue criminal charges.
The outlet added that formal charges have yet to be filed.
Cruz is planning a memorial service in Tulum, Mexico, where the couple was supposed to wed, and he also will spread her ashes there.
"The ocean of Tulum [is] where we first fell in love … She loved to sing. She loved to dance," he told CBS DFW.
Avila planned to undergo rhinoplasty and a breast implant replacement on Oct. 30, according to her family's GoFundMe page — but the procedures never happened.
Before the operation, she allegedly "suffered cardiac arrest for four minutes. She was then placed into a medically-induced coma to prevent further damage to her brain that was caused by the complications she experienced during anesthesia," her family wrote on Facebook.
The clinic in Mexico has not responded to PEOPLE's request for comment.
According to CBS News, the family claims doctors at the Mexican hospital where Avila was transferred said the Rino Center put the anesthesia in the wrong place in Laura's spine, her brain swelled, her kidneys failed and she went into cardiac arrest.
After she was brought out of the coma on Nov. 3, Laura had to be placed on life support due to severe brain damage. She was then transferred to a hospital in El Paso, Texas, where she died on Saturday.
Earlier this month, CBS News reported that their news correspondent Anna Werner spoke to a prosecutor in Mexico who is now handling an investigation into the Rino Center where Laura was treated. No formal charges have been filed yet, but the clinic has been raided.
Dr. Dennis Orgill, the medical director of Brigham and Women's Hospital Wound Care Center in Boston, told The Chicago Tribune that people are motivated to leave the country for medical procedures because of the cost and in some cases because of cultural issues.

How do managers, stewards, advocates, and other stakeholders promote the ecology of creeks in Austin, TX while also supporting a creek's cultural, social, economic, and historical values? This study uses mixed-methods to analyze how practitioners/managers, creek users/stewards, and advocates understand the multiple values of urban creeks in Austin. Practitioners and managers conceptualize creeks within an ecological resilience framework. Most recognized the importance of integrating social concerns into ecological management but fewer actually implemented consideration of social issues into their work. Many respondents actually saw creek users as a barrier to ecological resilience. A majority of creek users surveyed perceived creeks to have lower health than indicated by measured ecological scores; supporting the idea that perceptions are influenced by aesthetics and functioning ecosystems are not always the most aesthetically pleasing in terms of human preferences. Comparing the values of users and managers revealed three different dynamics: fully aligned values and motivations; partially aligned - values aligned, motivations misaligned; and, conflicted values. The advocate's role is to mediate between users and managers when values are partially aligned or conflicted. A resilient and integrated socio-ecological management system is one that understands concepts of ecology and integrates social and cultural contexts into the process and metrics. Applying a gradient approach allows for an understanding of the dynamic intersection of ecological, social, cultural, economic, and historical values of creeks in Austin and promotes resiliency across and between social and ecological systems. The gradient approach is a context-dependent method for defining values in specific scenarios. Understanding the holistic value of creeks in Austin will allow more residents to connect with these systems and become more responsible stewards; and, will allow managers and advocates to incorporate socio-ecological functioning metrics into a system that currently only measures ecological performance.

Speaking of Wesleyan-themed songs…

It's more focused on the two most popular forms of inebriation on campus and doesn't actually have a video–just this marvelously sexy still of a bikini-clad black squirrel. Also features lyrical shout outs to Grandma Mocon, the old late night at Summerfields, and the class of '09.

Huichapan is een stad en één der 84 gemeenten van de staat Hidalgo, in Mexico. De gemeente is 668,1 km² groot en telde in 2005 39.734 inwoners.

De naam Huichapan is vermoedelijk een samenstelling van twee woorden uit het Nahuatl: huexotl, "wilg" en pan, "rivier". Het betekent dus letterlijk "rivier van de wilgen".

Pedro Anaya, afkomstig uit Huichapan, was in 1847-1848 enkele maanden president van Mexico tijdens de Mexicaans-Amerikaanse Oorlog.

Geografie
De gemeente Huichapan grenst in het noorden aan Tecozautla, in het zuiden aan Chapantongo en Nopala de Villagrán, in het oosten aan Tecozautla, Chapantongo en Alfajayucan en in het westen aan de staat Querétaro de Arteaga. Huichapa ligt in het westen van Hidalgo en ongeveer 200 kilometer van Mexico-Stad. Toen de staat Hidalgo in 1869 werd gesticht en in 15 districten opgedeeld, werd Huichapan hiervan het hoofddistrict.

Plaatsen in de gemeente
De belangrijkste plaatsen (naar inwonertal in 2000) in de gemeente zijn:
Huichapan (7624 inw)
 Tlaxcalilla (2932 inw)
San Jose Atlan (2830 inw)
Llano Largo (2000 inw)
La Sabinita (1809 inw)

Pearl Robinson was a little nervous early this week as the Central Frontenac Festival of Trees approached. Even though the festival committee has everything in hand and all the details seem to have been worked out, this is Robinson's first year at the helm of the event, though she has been involved in the past.
"Everyone that I've asked to do something has come through marvellously, and the support has been good, but I still have some jitters," she said.
This year's festival, which runs from today until Saturday afternoon, follows the familiar successful format that has been its hallmark for years.
The trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses and "anything goes" creations were all put together on Wednesday evening, and the judging took place this morning.
The opening luncheon and announcement of the awards takes place at the Sharbot Lake Legion at noon, and the festival will run until 8:00 tonight. On Friday, students will be coming in throughout the school day from schools throughout the region, and the public will also be welcome until 8:00 pm. On Saturday the festival runs until 4:00 pm, when the draws for all the trees and other items will be held. Monetary or food donations to the North Frontenac Food Bank are requested as a voluntary entrance fee, and tickets will be on sale throughout the festival for an opportunity to win all of the items.
Entertainment will run all weekend as well. Entertainers include Barbara Agnew and her piano students and Country Church on Thursday, the Young Choristers, Limestone City Cloggers, St Paul's United Church (Perth) and the Humdingers of Friday, and the Blue Skies Fiddle Orchestra, the Arden Glee Club and the Ardenaires on Saturday. Refreshments are available as well.
For further information, call Barb at 613-279-1139 or Pearl at 613-279-2046.

Moms mobilize to help Fort McMurray families in need
No amount of roses, chocolates or spa gift certificates could rival the simple gifts being shared in Alberta this Mother's Day. In the face of wildfires which continue to ravage Fort McMurray, many moms are simply thankful to be safe with their families, and for the kindness of a community pulling together to help.
Jessica Blackmore, a Shell employee, made many friends in Fort McMurray after living there for nearly three years. Her thoughts were immediately with her friends and their families when she first heard about the evacuations.
"I reached out asking where they were, were they with their families, how were they doing," she explained. "Some were at site waiting for their families to drive up to Albian village and some were at home with their kids. But thankfully, everyone was safe and accounted for."
Soon social media was buzzing with moms wanting to help out, knowing that many would need support through the ordeal. "Pretty quickly we collected a truck-full of clothes for families. Everyone I spoke with asked how they could help."
Jessica was moved by the fact that some of the people helping were the ones who were hit the hardest. "One of my co-workers at Shell was personally impacted by the fire and was actually the first to initiate the effort to collect clothes for families. That's incredible strength - to put aside your own stresses and focus on helping others in need."
The reality of the tragedy really began hitting home when evacuees began arriving in Fort Saskatchewan and the Sherwood Park community where Jessica now lives.
"On one hand, you see so many people coming in and you wonder how you can help; you feel like you can't do enough," she said. "On the other hand it's been amazing to see how people have been coming together to support one another."
In times of crisis, there is no stronger or more needed love than that of a mother. On this day, and every day, we are thankful for moms.
