Algeria Challenges Morocco's Sovereignty in Western Sahara in New Statement
The latest move comes after Abdelmadjid Tebboune's government condemned the opening of the Comoros general consulate in Laayoune back in December 2019.

Rabat – The Algerian government continues to voice its anti-Morocco position on the Western Sahara conflict, openly challenging the country's sovereignty over its southern regions in the Sahara.
Amid diplomatic achievements from Morocco, Algeria has issued a set of critical statements aimed at the countries that decided to open general consulates in Moroccan southern cities in Western Sahara.
The first hostile statement came in response to Comoros' move to launch a, which diplomatic mission in Laayoune in December 2019.
The second move came on Wednesday, January 8, just a day after the official opening of Gambia's general consulate in the city of Dakhla, southern Morocco.
Algeria claims that Gambia's decision to open the consulate in Dakhla is a "violation of international law."
"Gambia's decision constitutes a flagrant violation of the norms of international law, of the relevant decisions and resolutions of the Security Council and of the United Nations General Assembly relating to the question of Western Sahara," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Algeria said in a statement.
Algeria also calls the decision as a "provocative act that aims to undermine" the political process.
The statement is a replica of a similar press release issued by the same ministry against Morocco after several African states withdrew recognition of the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Democratic Republic (SADR).
After the opening of Comoros' consulate in Laayoune, Algeria said the move constituted a "flagrant violation" of the UN norms.
The Algerian government, however, chooses to ignore the flagrant violations that the Polisario Front continue to commit against the UN resolutions in restricted areas in the region deemed as "liberated zones" by the breakaway group.
Algeria, a backer and arms provider of the Polisario Front, also ignores the human rights violations in the Tindouf camps, where Sahrawis live in alleged unbearable conditions.
In several protests and condemnatory letters, Sahrawis have denounced Algeria's approach to blindly support the Polisario while it imposes strict policies on the Tindouf populations, such as restrictions on freedom of movement.
In a letter shared with Morocco World News in November 2019, former Polisario officer Mustafa Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud strongly denounced the lack of intervention from the international community to solve the situation of the Sahrawis in Tindouf.
"Everyone has the right to leave any country, including their own, and to return," he said.
The former Polisario member emphasized the UNHCR also considers the right of voluntary repatriation as a "durable and most desirable solution, as it ideally allows refugees to resume their normal lives in their homeland and to restore their cultural and ethnic ties within their country."s.
Despite all UN provisions that stipulate freedom of movement as a right, the Polisario Front finds the return of any Sahrawi from the camps to their homeland a "betrayal," and criminalizes the act.
The Polisario Front sentences people trying to flee the camps to life imprisonment or death.

There are many procedures we can do right at your farm that are considered surgical in nature. For example, when your horse needs sutures, we will routinely come to you and repair the wound! Most castrations of young colts can also be done "in the field" under the right conditions. For those procedures that cannot be done on your property, however, OakenCroft has a small surgical suite as part of their facility. This includes an anesthesia induction stall that is fully padded for everyone's safety, a hoist installed on a steel beam track used to help manipulate your animal from the induction stall into the surgery room, and a surgical room equipped with an adjustable surgical table.
We do not have gas anesthesia, nor are any of our veterinarians board-certified surgeons; this means we will refer your horse for the more invasive surgeries such as abdominal cryptorchids, colics, and fractures. We are quite capable and willing to provide surgical services for relatively simple procedures. Some surgeries performed include enucleation, closed castration, umbilical hernia repair, fractured splint bone removal (depending on location), and neurectomy. Should your horse need surgery, never fear! We will help you decide if your horse must be referred to a specialist or if he/she can come to us!
Give us a call and we will happily discuss the decision with you.


After deciding to proceed to sell the business, we met with and interviewed numerous groups that offer assistance int the divestiture of operating manufacturing businesses. One of these was the Summit Group and Mr. Harvey Lee. Our lawyer had recommended Harvey to us. We met with harvey a number of times and he outlined the entire process of how a business would be sold by the Summit Group and addressed all of our issues and questions clearly and honestly.
The business was sold to an excellent buyer on satisfactory terms and at an acceptable price that was within our target range. throughout the process, Harvey kept us focussed on completing the deal.
Everything is going smoothly and we are currently transitioning our systems to their systems.
Thank you again for all your invaluable assistance in making our deal happen. We could not have done it without you!
Your great counsel and patience helped us get the deal we wanted after many months of difficult negotiations.
Blaine and I will always look to you for assistance with any future business sales or purchases and we will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting a Business Consultant for the sale or purchase of any business.
David Gray arranged for us to meet a variety of lenders and he was successful in creating a choice of financing options for us..this creative financing was crucial to the success of the transaction... David managed the entire process while keeping us totally in the loop and involving us in key decisions....Throughout the entire purchase process, David managed our expectations and he kept us focused on completing the sale.
It is with much pleasure that we recommend David Gray and Harvey Lee of The Summit Group. David and Harvey helped us sell our family-run business. [Their] extensive business background helped us understand many of the issues surrounding the sales transaction and enabled us to make sure that we understood each part of the transaction. They also worked with our accountant and lawyers so that we had a complete team of advisers all with the same understanding and goals in mind.
I certainly recommend the services of The Summit Group and Harvey Lee. Harvey's calm, professional approach to the sale of our business was very successful and he delivered what he said he would.

It is the responsibility of the homeowner to be in compliance with the Cloverdale Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (DCCR) and Jefferson County ordinances prior to requesting Cloverdale ARC Approval(s).
Jefferson County's website was changed during 2015 – the following links may help our homeowners find current ordinances available at:
Jefferson County Ordinances:
http://www.jeffersoncountywv.org/county-government/ordinances
Jefferson County Planning & Zoning Department

Cloverdale HOA as members of the then JCOHOA, currently Eastern Panhandle Organization of Homeowners Associations (EPOHOA) submitted the following Comments/Changes for the Jefferson County Subdivision Regulations 4/10/2010 Jefferson County HOA Members of more than 2,500 homeowners were represented by Pete Appignani, President, EPOHOA
Comments/Suggestions for Jefferson County Subdivision Regulation Changes
Pleased with the addition of Homeowners Association in several sections throughout the revised regulation.
Noted the following in the subdivision regulations to be revised:
Sec. 2.4 Subdivision Road & Common Area Ownership & Maintenance
A. A Homeowner's Association must be established without delay as soon as 50% of properties are sold. Membership in the association is mandatory for all property owners within the subdivision. The developers shall dedicate all common lands (SWM Basin, roads, right-of-ways, etc.) to the Homeowner's Association. A note to this effect is required on the Final Plat.
B. A Common Interest Ownership Agreement must be established to provide for the maintenance of commonly owned land, including, but not limited to the private road system within the subdivision. This Common Interest Ownership Agreement must be developed in accordance with the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act of West Virginia.
The County/Planning Commission places enormous responsibilities on the HOA but DOES NOT ensure that the HOA can function to meet those responsibilities imposed on the HOA.
The purpose from a planning commission perspective appears to be to establish the HOA as the sole party responsible for roads and common areas including drainage and other easements (i.e., the county and the state are not responsible for the maintenance of these structures). Whether or not the HOA is capable of actually functioning appears to be overlooked.
The planning commission should be required to perform an independent legal review of the covenants and should be cautious approving any exceptions or exclusions to the Common Interest Ownership Act. This issue is really hurting several HOAs in Jefferson County which were granted exemptions to the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act in the covenants and they can not get a firm legal opinion on how to govern their community because of the exemptions. It has cost significant legal fees and other problems and will cost additional legal fees to resolve.
The issue relating to proper covenants should also be addressed in the changes you are currently making (i.e., the discussion at the Form on Foreclosures) and the covenants should be carefully reviewed legally and from a common sense viewpoint. The Planning Commission should carefully read the covenants to see that they make sense and allow the HOA to function now and in the future. HOA dues and assessments (e.g. reserve fund, snow removal, etc.) should be sufficient to meet the long term needs of the community. Ask yourself if the covenants make sense and if the community can function with the covenants proposed. We are finding that many covenants were slanted to help the developer/real estate agents in selling homes to the detriment of the community.
The State adopts the standard version of the Act with changes promulgated by special interests, the developer then imposes exemptions and/or exceptions to the Act and the County may impose additional requirements that conflict with the Act. How does one expect the HOA to function with all of these conflicts? The covenants, along with exceptions and/or exemptions to the Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, if not carefully and cautiously implemented, will only serve to take away many of the rights of property owners who live in homeowner associations. The Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act effectively places the homeowners under the rule of a "private corporate government", albeit made up of members of the community. A private corporate government, which has not been given the proper tools to effectively administrate and govern their communities.
Another issue concerning covenants is that they contain provisions that are unenforceable; however, the County will not become involved.
Sec. 20.103 Private Restrictions
The provisions of this Division are not intended to replace any deed restriction, covenant, easement, or any other private agreement regarding a parcel of land. All such restrictions shall be enforced by the parties to the restriction. The County shall not enforce or become involved in the enforcement of such private restrictions, and, in the review of development proposals, the County will apply only its regulations to evaluate the proposal. [1] All subdividers shall submit the proposed private restrictions to the County with or before submitting the final plat or site plan. Covenants shall be consistent with the requirements of the County Zoning Ordinance and these Subdivision Regulations.
Division 21.400 Covenants and Deeds
Covenants shall be provided by the land owner to cover the operation and maintenance of a subdivision or site development. If there are associations, the covenants shall either contain all the needed rules for the association or reference a document that does. If lots or condominium ownership is contemplated, deeds for each property are required. The County shall review these documents to ensure they do not conflict with County laws. If the covenants or deeds do not conflict with County laws they should be approved. The County in no way waives its rights to enforce violations of law later learned of or determined to exist. County approval in no way indicates County assistance in enforcing these covenants, which the County will not do.[2] Covenants and deed restrictions shall also serve as a means of limiting further development of lands set aside as open space to satisfy the cluster and planned development requirements or standards identified in the zoning ordinance.
Suggestion – the Jefferson County organization of Homeowners Associations, Inc., work with the Planning Commission to come up with a draft version of Covenants for future developments. It's not going to help those of us with covenants now, but it would be a great way to help future HOA's.

People baffled by theory on meaning of 'five gold rings' lyric in 12 Days of Christmas
While Mariah Carey's high notes and LadBaby's latest chart topping charity song are played over and over, the meaning of one of the most famous Christmas carols has recently been the subject of discussion.

Christmas songs become unavoidable as the festive season sets in but one of the most famous tunes may have a different meaning than first thought. While Mariah Carey's high notes and LadBaby's latest chart topping charity song are played over and over, the meaning of one of the most famous Christmas carols has recently been the subject of discussion.
The '12 Days of Christmas' carol can be heard around the globe each year, and as reported by the Mirror references biblical history. Many will be familiar with the lyrics, with each line listing a gift given on each day of Christmas - from turtle doves to a partridge in a pear tree.
But one lyric has left people baffled after it was argued to have a different meaning from what it initially appears. Earlier this week, Dr. Anna Hughes, who has a PHD in astrophysics and works in quantum computing, shared a bombshell revelation about the carol that has left people confused.

Taking to Twitter, she wrote: "Learning that "five gooolden riings" is not in fact referring to 5 literal golden rings, but to five ring-necked pheasants, aka more birds".
While many had envisioned gold jewellery, the gift appears to be yet another bird according to the viral theory. Flocking to the widely shared Twitter thread to share their shock, one person wrote: "Uh, so are the maids a-milking, ladies dancing, lords a-leaping, pipers piping and drummers drumming somehow birds also?"
Meanwhile, another added: "You cannot be serious. How many birds do I need". A third wrote: "I read this out loud to my partner and he shouted "No!" as if i had just told him Christmas was canceled [sic] forever".
Others tried to disprove the theory, with one Twitter user musing: "Doesn't seem likely: the first illustration was of five gold rings, I can't find any reference to pheasants with golden neck rings (they are white feathers irl) and ringnecked pheasants were only introduced to England shortly before that first illustration."
Outside of the lyric theory, people are generally puzzled as to why there are so many birds in the song - but there is no solid answer. Birds are historically symbolic in Christian faith, which could explain the repeated mentions, but even the origin of the song itself is disputed - so we're all left guessing.
Another ring theory proposes the five golden rings are a Biblical reference to the first five books of the Old Testament, also known as the Pentateuch. The 12 days of Christmas is the period in Christian theology that marks the period between the birth of Christ and the coming of the three wise men.
Although scholars believe that the carol has French origins, it first appeared in the English children's book Mirth With-out Mischief, published in 1780. The lyrics have changed over the years, only adding to the song's mystery. Either way, it's safe to say that singing 'five gold rings' will never feel the same again.

With the Fourth of July fast approaching and the summer months upon us, indulging in barbecues, holiday parties and swimming often top the list of activities to enjoy during the summer season. To help everyone do so safely, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is reminding people about potential summer fire and electrical hazards and providing tips and recommendations to minimise them.
"By knowing where potential fire and electrical hazards exist during the summer months and taking the needed steps to prevent them, people can enjoy activities such as grilling, swimming and celebrating the Fourth of July while keeping their families, guests and homes safe," said Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA's Outreach and Advocacy Division.
NFPA recommends that revelers refrain from using consumer fireworks and attend public fireworks displays put on by trained professionals. Fireworks annually cause devastating burns, injuries, fires, and even death, making them too dangerous to be used safely by consumers. On Independence Day in a typical year, fireworks account for nearly half of all reported U.S. fires, more than any other cause of fire.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) 2017 Fireworks Annual Report, fireworks were involved in an estimated 11,100 injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments during calendar year 2016. There were an estimated 900 emergency department-treated injuries associated with sparklers and 400 with bottle rockets. Sparklers were the most common type of fireworks causing injury to pre-schoolers, and 400 of the 900 sparkler injuries were related to children under five years old. Young adults 20 to 24 years of age had the highest estimated rate of emergency department-treated, fireworks-related injuries in 2016.
All types of grills pose a risk for fires and burn injuries. According to NFPA statistics, July is the peak month for grilling fires followed by May, June and August. Roughly 9,600 home grill fires were reported per year. The leading causes were a failure to clean, using the grill too close to something that could burn or having things that could catch fire too close to the grill, and unattended grill use. Leaks were the leading cause of gas grill fires. According to the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, 73 percent of consumers grill on the Fourth of July and 58 percent grill on Labor Day.
The grill should be placed well away the home or deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. The grill should also be a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic. Keep children and pets away from the grill area. Have a three-foot (1 meter) "kid-free zone" around the grill.
Keep your grill clean by removing grease and fat buildup from the grates and trays below.
Never swim near a marina, dock or boatyard, or near a boat while it's running.
Obey all "no swimming" signs on docks.
Avoid entering the water when launching or loading a boat. Docks or boats can leak electricity into the water causing water electrification.
Each year, and after a major storm that affects the boat, have the boat's electrical system inspected by a qualified marine electrician to be sure it meets the required codes of your area, including the American Boat & Yacht Council. Make the necessary repairs if recommended.


Metrorail train arriving Rhode Island Ave. Image used with permission.
Metro needs to close a $290 million budget gap, and to do that the agency is considering increasing bus and rail fares and removing bus routes. There will be a public open house held at Metro headquarters on Monday to allow anyone to speak directly to the board about the proposals.
The overall $3.1 billion budget asks for $130 million additional dollars from the three jurisdictions that oversee Metro (DC, Maryland, and Virginia). Riders would also pay more through $0.10 and $0.25 fare increases for rail and bus trips, respectively, and Metro would "pay" more by cutting hundreds of positions and cutting other back office expenses.
Sources of funding making up the FY2018 budget gap. Image by WMATA used with permission.
Metro is required to hold a public hearing to gather comments from riders. The open house regarding the changes is this coming Monday from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, and the public will be able to speak their comments starting at 5 pm. Riders are also able to submit comments via an online survey, or directly to staff members at some Metrorail stations.
The period for public feedback about the proposed budget ends at 9 am on February 6th.
After that, the WMATA board's finance committee must vote and approve the budget (which would happen on March 9th), then the full board of directors must vote and approve what came out of the committee. The full approval process must be finished by the Board's March 23rd meeting in order for Metro to be fully ready for the changes when the new budget cycle begins in July.

Dale van Dalsem needs White Mountain to finish the DPS list a second time. The original idea was to finish by April 13, 1991. These days he is shooting for next fall. Last February, when Dale was still pursuing the original plan, we decided to keep him company while he did White Mountain.
The idea was to drive up Millner canyon on a road that runs South of the creek to a mine at 7300 feet. Starting at 4:00 AM we would climb south out of Millner Canyon and then go east up a smooth ridge that parallels Millner Canyon toward Mt. Barcroft. From there the normal road leads up to White Mountain.
The first thing that went wrong was that Dale and Annie Johansen didn't show up. Dale's fuel pump broke in the San Fernando Valley and he had to go back to the Marina to get his second car. The road up Millner canyon is four wheel drive after about 6200 feet and Dale's back up car didn't have a chance. After waiting till 5 AM Wendy and I decided to try it without our leader. It was pitch dark and we chose to head South South West through some cliffs. It took an hour to go the first 600 feet with flashlights and considerable back tracking. Later, in the daylight, we could see a clear way through the cliff. Once we got to 7900 feet all was smooth going until we got over 12.000 feet when a storm came up and it got quite cold. I got one of those little white patches on my face and the water bottles inside our packs started to freeze. At 10 AM we decided to turn back and got to the car about 1PM. Coming down off the smooth ridge we followed a steep qully that goes South South East from the end of the mine.
It would appear that doing White Mountain from this direction would involve about 7000 feet of gain and about 20 miles of walking. Would make nice summertime day hike.


Since the 1950s, the focus of nursing knowledge shifted toward empirics, to the notion of knowledge as science. This shift transformed nursing education away from observation and nurturing, or anecdotal nursing, to areas such as efficiency, productivity, and knowledge as a commodity, the realm of scientific studies.
To paraphrase Bruce et al, we must realize that a great deal of reality can be accessed only in a way that is completely different from the scientific method, in which objects such as a four-chambered heart and the design of brain tissue are accessible. This way of knowing is the interface of philosophy and knowledge development in nursing.
Entire forests have been felled to provide the paper necessary to print the explosion of articles that deal with the subject of philosophy and knowledge development in nursing. The approach described by Bruce et al speaks to me in a special way. They describe a framework of philosophy in nursing as content, as method, and as way of life. Philosophy as content harkens back to the original tenets of nursing, and deals with questions related to person, environment, and health. Philosophy as method offers nurses the tools to analyze those clinical issues related to patient safety and ethical issues in nursing. Philosophy as a way of life describes the path to wisdom, wherein we not only know, but embody this knowledge in making a different me.


Visit to Taltsy Ethnographic Museum. Situated between Irkutsk and Lake Baikal, Taltsy is a village 47 km southeast of Irkutsk. The open-air museum of wooden architecture has collected 17th-20th century landmarks of defensive, civil, and religious wooden architecture from the Irkutsk Region, the most notable of which are the Spasskaya Tower of the Ilimsk Ostrog (Fort) (1667) and the Chapel of Our Lady of Kazan (1679), which is still an active church. Here we will also find numerous ethnographic collections, unique examples of Russian, Buryat, Evenk and Tofalar culture.
Transfer to railway station and departure to Ulan Bator (2nd class compartment).
Breakfast on board (boxed breakfast).
Leaving behind Lake Baikal, the train crosses the border between Russia and Mongolia.
Lunch and dinner on board.
* Depending on tickets availability, the selected train could leave Irkutsk on Day 10 in the evening.
Arrival to Ulan Bator. The Mongolian capital, founded in 1639, is the largest city: 40% of the country's citizens live here. The name "Ulan Bator," which is Ulaanbaatar in Mongolian, has quite the militant meaning: "Red Hero." The city was conceived and built as a Buddhist monastery, and the architecture of Ulan Bator presents a bizarre mix of yurts, Buddhist monasteries, and fortresses alongside modern buildings and remnants of the Stalinist period. The city features several interesting museums and a lively street scene, complete with many restaurants, cafes, and shops that alternate with the traditional and bazaar market stalls. Right next to the city there is a beautiful nature reserve.
Complete panoramic tour of Ulan Bator. This is a visit around the city, taking in its spectacular contrast between modern and traditional architecture, typified by steel buildings on the one hand and typical yurts on the other, still home to many of the city's inhabitants. We will walk along the famous central square of Ulan Bator, Sukhbaatar Square, named after the revolutionary hero who declared independence from China on this very spot in July 1921. On this square you will find the most famous Mongolian monument, the Bell of the World, and next to it the Sukhbaatar Mausoleum. One of the most beautiful buildings in Ulan Bator is the Winter Palace, which was built in the early 20th century by order of the last emperor of the country. You will see the main religious monuments of the city: Gandan Monastery, Choijin-Lamyn-Sum Monastery, Zhanray Sing Temple, and others. Many of them are made of wood, something that makes these sanctuaries even more attractive and valuable.
Visit to Gandan Monastery in Ulan Bator. Gandan Monastery is in the centre of Ulan Bator's old town, standing out along with its Tibetan Buddhist temples, lavishly decorated with gold and precious stones. Now in the middle of a maze of narrow streets and typical buildings, retail stores, and yurts, the monastery was founded in 1835. At the end of the 19th century its 14,000 monks occupied a wide swath of territory, though in 1938 it was closed by the communist government of Mongolia, reopening only in 1949. You will be amazed by its brightly painted walls, coloured roofs, and gods guarding the entrance. The main gate is turned to the South, in keeping with local tradition, while in the courtyard you will find a statue of Buddha and a stone vase.
Visit to the National Historical Museum. In this fascinating museum we will admire the history of Mongolia from the Palaeolithic period to the present day, illustrated by numerous archaeological materials, photographs, and diagrams of paleontological sites and archaeological digs, including coins, weapons, costumes, household items, religious objects, and bronze statuettes. You will learn a ton about Mongolia's ancient history and the life of the nomadic tribes in Central Asia in addition to going through Mongolian history from the Mongol Empire in the 13th and 14th centuries to the socialist period between 1921 and 1990 and the arrival of the democracy. You will discover traditional Mongolian culture and life, clothing and jewellery, and the local decorative arts.
Departure to Terelj. Terelj is one of the finest national parks of Mongolia, located 60 km from Ulan Bator. It features a very specific landscape, one of the most beautiful in the country, made of vast steppes speckled with big, harshly beautiful rocks. In this quiet and peaceful park you will enjoy wild, untouched nature, enormous and bizarrely-shaped rocks, thick forests, and crystal-clear mountain rivers.
Arrival at the camp site, located inside the national park. Here we will have the opportunity to discover the authentic life of the Mongolian nomads by spending a night in their traditional yurts.
Dinner and accommodation in yurts.
Visit to the house of a nomadic family. This is a wonderful opportunity to delve into the daily life of the nomadic Mongolians: how the family prepares the dairy products that constitute an important part of the nomad's diet, the construction and assembly of a yurt, and how to raise domestic animals such as the famous yaks. We can also enjoy the steppes during a horseback ride, the area's main means of transportation since the ancestors of the Mongols thundered across the Central Asian steppes, conquering the Asian expanses until they were knocking on the very gates of Western Europe.
Visit to Aryabal Temple. This Buddhist meditation temple was built in the 17th century inside Terelj National Park. From here you will enjoy the best views of the park.
Visit to the Choijin Lama Museum. This museum is a monastery complex that was built between 1904 and 1908 in honour of the VIII Bogdo Khan's brother, Luvsanhaydava, who was also the state oracle. It is one of the best monuments of early 20th century Mongolian architecture, consisting of five churches that display unique 17th-19th century items produced by Central Asian craftsmen. The museum is home to the priceless heritage of the history, culture, religion, and architecture of Mongolia.
Visit to the Zaisan Memorial. This memorial is situated on the Zaisan-Tolgoyb hill, from which you will enjoy a splendid view of Ulan Bator and the Tola River valley. The memorial complex was built in 1979 on the 40th anniversary of the Khalkin-Gol battles between Japanese invaders and the Mongolians, supported by Soviet troops. At the top of the hill there is a spire where traditional and communist symbols meet and harmonize in a curious mix. In the centre a figure of a Soviet soldier stands erect, complete with words of thanks to the USSR for its assistance in the Mongolian fight for its independence.
Visit to Bogdo Khan's Palace. Bogdo Khan's Palace is a museum complex that includes summer and winter palaces where the last Khan of Mongolia, VIII Bogdo Khan, used to live. The Summer Palace was built in the Chinese style between 1893 and 1903, while the Winter Residence was built in 1912 according to a plan put together by Russian architects. Today Bogdo Khan's Palace provides visitors with many interesting exhibits: portraits of all the Mongolian Khans of the 17th to 20th centuries, sculptures and paintings made by VIII Bogdo Khan himself, and Buddhist paintings on cloth, as well as statues, musical instruments, and other religious items used by the Khan.
Mongolian folk show. In the late afternoon, we will attend a folkloric show that will allow us to get in touch with the music, dances, and traditions of this wonderful nation.
Transfer to railway station and departure to Beijing via crossing Mongolian steppes and Gobi Desert.
Arrival to Beijing, final stop after having crossed three continents. Vibrant, never-sleeping, and both loved and hated in equal measure by its inhabitants, this metropolis has recently emerged as one of the world's main cities. Beijing, home to 20 million people, making it the world's second most populous city, is the capital and the political, cultural, educational, and economic centre of China. Its long history spans more than 3000 years, during which Beijing has been repeatedly plundered, destroyed, and enthusiastically rebuilt, its name changing throughout the process a dozen times! The name "Beijing" is literally translated as "the northern capital," and the city is presently changing at lightning speed, fuelled by the success of the Chinese economy and boosted by the fame of the 2008 Olympic Games: In the past few years millions of bicycles have given way to modern cars, while traditional houses have been replaced by high-tech skyscrapers… Among all these changes, Beijing fights for its soul, fiercely preserving its old traditions and rich monuments.
Visit to the Temple of Heaven. Built in 1420, originally named the Temple of the Heaven and Earth, and situated in the southern part of Beijing, this temple is the largest complex of religious buildings in China. In 1530, a new Temple of the Earth was built in the northern part of Beijing, at which point the Temple of Heaven became a special place where the emperors prayed to Heaven, storms, and the clouds to ask for a rich harvest. The southern part of the temple is square, representing the forces of the Earth, while its northern part is rounded, the circle symbolizing the celestial powers, according to Chinese tradition. The temple ensemble's main buildings are the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, and the Circular Mound Altar. The complex is one of the symbols of Beijing and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Typical Chinese dinner, including famous duck dishes.
Visit to the Forbidden City, the most ancient architectural set in China. For five centuries, from the 15th to the beginning of the 20th century, it was the residence of the Chinese emperors. Situated in the centre of Beijing and decorated according to the caprices and fantasies of 24 Ming and Qing emperors, it is considered to be the largest palace complex in the world, consisting of 800 buildings and 9999 rooms spread over 72 hectares and surrounded by a ten-meter wall and a moat. The construction of the complex began in 1406 and lasted for 15 years, a process in which, according to the legend, more than a million workers were involved. One hundred million bricks, 200 million tiles, and an unimaginable amount of marble were used. The name "Forbidden City" refers to the fact that only the emperor and his family could live here; courtiers, officials, and others could only live outside its walls, and no one could enter or leave the palace without the emperor's permission. The complex is divided into the Inner Court (or Back Palace) and the Outer Court (or Front Palace). The emperor performed his political duties in the rooms of the Outer Court, while the Inner Court was a living space featuring the Imperial Gardens. The Forbidden City is the largest and best-preserved ancient structure of its kind in the world, included by UNESCO in its World Heritage List.
Visit to the Great Wall of China. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, this impressive construction was built by the Chinese emperors to protect their northern borders and defend themselves against Mongolian attacks. The Great Wall, 8,851.8 km long, is a symbol of the ancient Chinese civilization and the world's most famous fortification. The construction of the wall lasted from the 7th century BC until the 17th century AD, though most of the Great Wall as we see it today was built during the reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The Great Wall of China is a national pride and a symbol of Chinese greatness, with the government spending an enormous amount of money every year to preserve this architectural treasure for future generations. The Great Wall boasts 40 million visitors per year, making it one of the most visited sites in the world. It has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.

AMERICCAASS
The purpose of this study is to better characterize and understand the population of patients with ambulatory or acutely decompensated heart failure in the American continent, getting to know their sociodemographic, clinical and paraclinical characteristics
NCT ID: NCT04893733 Recruiting - Acute Kidney Injury Clinical Trials
Intravenous Administration of Vitamin B Complex Improves Renal Recovery in Patients With AKI
VIBAKI
Animal and human studies have shown that the administration of vitamin B3 (niacin) improves renal ischemia; helping to recover from acute kidney injury (AKI) more effectively; Therefore, its use in patients with AKI could improve short-term outcomes: accelerating the recovery of renal function, reducing the days of hospital stay and costs; as well as reducing the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) or progression of CKD after an episode of AKI. Our main objective is to determine the usefulness of the administration of vitamin B complex as a treatment for established acute kidney injury and its effect on short and long-term outcomes.
NCT ID: NCT04836299 Not yet recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials
Clinical Trial to "Study the Efficacy and Therapeutic Safety of Ivermectin: (SAINTBO)
SAINTBO
Start date: May 8, 2021
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The disease causes a respiratory illness (such as the flu) with symptoms such as cough, fever, and, in more severe cases, respiratory distress, even developing Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, evolving in some cases with the death of the patient. Currently, there are no specific treatments for COVID-19. Currently, there are several ongoing clinical trials evaluating possible treatments. Recently, Leon Caly reports here that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved antiparasitic that was shown to have broad-spectrum antiviral activity in vitro, is an inhibitor of the causative virus (SARS-CoV-2), with a single addition to Vero cells. hours after infection with SARS-CoV-2 capable of a 5000-fold reduction in viral RNA at 48 h. (1) Ivermectin, therefore, warrants further investigation for possible benefits in humans. The reason for this study is to understand the effect of the drug in eradicating the virus. It is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of Ivermectin in COVID-19. The recruited patient will be assigned to two groups, (1) a group received ivermectin plus care treatment (2) the placebo group plus standard care treatment. The result will be recorded by documenting the RT-PCR reports confirmed at the time of recruitment and at 7 and 14 days within the framework of the study, then they will be adapted to the national care protocol, with 9 scheduled clinical and telemedicine interviews. It will be a randomized controlled trial to be run in RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 patients who meet the inclusion criteria (asymptomatic/mild to moderate severity). They will be divided into groups after randomization. Group A will be administered one (1) a group received ivermectin plus standard of care treatment (2) the placebo group plus standard of care treatment, along with the existing inpatient and outpatient management clinical guidelines of the hospitals participating in the study, these being adapted to the National standard. The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) will be carried out on days 7 and 14 after the therapeutic intervention and the duration of time at which the RT-PCR becomes negative and/or clinical evolution of the patient will be compared in both study groups. The dose of the drug is not subject to change according to the patient's response or the possible side effect of being administered in a single dose.
NCT ID: NCT04799236 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Mucosal Leishmaniasis

NCT ID: NCT04491227 Enrolling by invitation - Covid19 Clinical Trials
Global Assessment of Acute and Chronic Kidney Disease Incidence and Outcomes in Patients With COVID-19 Infection
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created a significant strain on health care resources across the world for managing critically ill patients. Emerging reports from China, South Korea and Italy have reported varying incidence of acute kidney (AKI) ranging from 5-15% with a mortality of 60-80% however there is no systematic assessment of the risk factors, recognition, course and outcomes in patients with and without kidney disease whose course is complicated by AKI1-4. Patients with underlying CKD, immunosuppressed patients with renal transplants and ESKD patients are at high risk for COVID-19 infection and there is limited information on the effect of COVID-19 on the course and outcomes of these patients. The requirement for renal support including IHD, CRRT and sorbent based therapies has been variable and has contributed to the intense pressure on the nephrology and critical care providers for delivering these therapies. As the COVID-19 pandemic expands in the USA and abroad, there is an intense need to understand the epidemiology of the disease and the resources needed for renal support to inform clinical management and public health interventions. In this study, the investigators aim to investigate health care facilities across the world (hospital wards, ICU, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, healthcare centers) to draw a global picture of incidence, risk factors, resources available for treatment and prognosis of acute and chronic kidney disease in patient with COVID 19 confirmed infection. The aim is to identify trends in patients with acute and chronic kidney disease, determine its incidence, treatment and outcomes in different settings across the world. This information will be used to develop and implement educational tools and resources to prevent deaths from AKI and progression of CKD in this and following pandemics.
NCT ID: NCT04352634 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials
The Covid-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErS (HEROES) Study
Since December 2019 the world has been shaken with an enormous global threat: the Covid-19 pandemic. This new kind of coronavirus is generating an unprecedented impact both on the general population and on the healthcare systems in most countries. Health services are trying to expand their capacity to respond to the pandemic, taking actions such as increasing the number of beds; acquiring necessary equipment to provide intensive therapy (ventilators), and calling retired health professionals and health students so they can assist the overwhelmed health care workforce. Unfortunately, these organizational changes at health facilities, along with the fears and concerns of becoming ill with the virus or infecting their families, put an enormous emotional burden on workers in health services which may lead to negative outcomes on mental health in this population. Recent cross-sectional studies in China indicate that health service workers exposed to people with Covid-19 reported higher rates of depressive and anxious symptoms. This negative impact on mental health among health workers in China has also been informally reported in other countries where the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating in its effects (such as Spain and Italy), as well as in countries where the pandemic is becoming a growing public health problem. This is particularly relevant in regions with fewer resources (Latin America, North Africa), where there are limited means and the response from the health system is usually insufficient. Moreover, it is necessary to study these negative effects longitudinally considering that some effects will appear over time (post-traumatic stress). The COVID-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErS (HEROES) study is a large, bottom-up, South-North initiative aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of health care workers (HCWs). HEROES encompasses a wide variety of academic institutions in 19 LMICs and 8 HICs, in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and with support from the World Health Organization (WHO). The HEROES study is led by Dr. Rubén Alvarado at University of Chile, and Dr. Ezra Susser and Franco Mascayano at Columbia U Mailman School of Public Health.

The Treasure of Pionsat is a collection of Arverni coins discovered in 1852 at Pionsat in Puy-de-Dôme, France. The coins date from the middle of the first century BC.

The treasure had been buried a few kilometers from the open pit gold mines at Combrailles . At the time of the 1852 discovery, 200 to 300 coins were counted, but most of them soon vanished.
Today only 51 certified coins exist in public and private collections.
Twenty-one of the coins are at the National Library of France.

The discovery provides the most important historical source for the coinage of Arverni, especially of those attributed to Vercingétorix . A study by Sylvia Nieto and Jean-Noël Barrandon regarding Arverni coinage reported that there are 137 extant coins, 27 in the name of Vercingétorix. Of these, 16 are part of this treasure.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Negros Occidental yesterday assured that milkfish in the province is safe and not affected by the massive fishkill that hit two towns in Pangasinan on May 29.
BFAR Chief Carlito Delfin said they have designated quarantine officers in the seaports in Banago, Bacolod Real Estate Development Corporation, and Escalante City to closely monitor the entry of fishes in the province.
"Milk fish sold in three satellite markets of Bacolod come from our local fish producers and are 100 percent safe," Delfin said.
Because of the fishkill, some consumers have opted not to buy milk fish for safety reasons, he added.
Ernie Pineda, Bacolod City Market Coordinating and Monitoring Task Force head and Executive Assistant to the Mayor, yesterday confirmed that sales of milkfish in the markets decreased due to the fishkill.
However, the prices of other fishes, spices, and other basic commodities remain the same, Pineda said.
Meanwhile, the towns of Laurel, Agoncillo, Talisay, San Nicolas, Cuenca, Sta. Teresita, and Alitagtag near Taal Lake were also placed under calamity state.
Bangus producers and wholesalers of Dagupan, Mangaldan and Binmaley were reportedly affected even if there is no fishkill in these areas while losses in Batangas have reached P76.586 million pesos.

Cinefantastique is an American horror, fantasy, and science fiction film magazine.

History
The magazine originally started as a mimeographed fanzine in 1967, then relaunched as a glossy, offset printed quarterly in 1970 by publisher/editor Frederick S. Clarke. Intended as a serious critical/review journal of the genres, the magazine immediately set itself apart from competitors like Famous Monsters of Filmland and The Monster Times due to its slick paper stock and use of full color interior film stills. Cinefantastiques articles and reviews emphasized an intelligent, near-scholarly approach, a then-unusual slant for such a genre-specific magazine. Advertisements were few, with most of them being only ads for other titles and materials by the publisher. This lack of "page padding" assured the reader a high proportion of original editorial content.

The magazine quickly came to be known for its lengthy, information-filled "retrospective" articles devoted to the full production details of such classic films as 1951's The Day the Earth Stood Still, George Pal's War of the Worlds, The Incredible Shrinking Man, and Planet of the Apes. Based on the popularity of these articles, Cinefantastique began producing huge double-issues centering on comprehensive "Making-Of" looks at such movies as Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Forbidden Planet, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner, and The Thing. The magazine also devoted multiple yearly issues to Star Trek films and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Many of the articles have since become accepted as the definitive source of production information regarding these and other genre titles.

The magazine was responsible for introducing the work of several writers who have continued to produce important work in the film field, including Don Shay, Bill Warren, Tim Lucas, Mick Garris, Stephen Rebello, Steven Rubin, Dan Scapperotti, Dale Winogura, Jeffrey Frentzen, Paul M. Sammon (who authored the Blade Runner double issue and later turned it into an extensive book called Future Noir), Dan Fiebiger, and Alan Jones.

On October 17, 2000, due to complications from long-time clinical depression, Clarke committed suicide at the age of 51. Editorship was briefly assumed by long-time contributor Dan Persons, until rights to the continuing publication of Cinefantastique were acquired by Mark A. Altman's Mindfire Entertainment, who formally renamed the magazine CFQ'''.

In November 2006, CFQ editor Jeff Bond announced that the magazine would be "going on hiatus into 2007", promising that in the near future it would return "on an irregular basis for in-depth spotlights & special issues". The magazine was succeeded by Geek Monthly, with Bond at the helm.Cinefantastique relaunched as a webzine in August 2007, called Cinefantastique Online, under the supervision of the magazine's former West Coast Editor, Steve Biodrowski.

In 2009, Cinefantastique was purchased by and became a wholly owned trademark of Fourth Castle Micromedia, a New York-based company owned by genre marketing veteran Joe Sena. Fourth Castle is known for their EMCE Toys brand, whose first lines of "Retro Cloth" 8" action figures were reproductions of classic MEGO toys.

Fourth Castle produced a one-shot, Cinefantastique Presents The Ultimate Guide To Zombies in 2012. The magazine was slated for relaunch in 2015, and Biodrowski continued to run Cinefantastique'' Online while Dan Persons produced podcasts for the publication.

John Kaye (27 December 1783, Hammersmith – 18 February 1853, Riseholme, Lincolnshire) was an English churchman.
Ecclesiastical career
Death and memorials
He was born the only son of Abraham Kaye in Hammersmith, London and educated at the school of Sir Charles Burney in Hammersmith and then Greenwich. He entered Christ's College, Cambridge and graduated Senior wrangler in 1804. [1] He was the 21st Master of Christ's College from 1814 to 1830. [2] Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University in 1814, [3]
In 1816, Kaye was elected Regius Professor of Divinity and he revived public lectures on theology, with an focus on the study of ecclesiastical history and the Early Church Fathers. His first series of lectures, The Ecclesiastical History of the Second and Third Centuries, illustrated from the Writings of Tertullian was published at Cambridge in 1825, and was followed by published lectures on Justin Martyr (1829), Clement of Alexandria (1835) and The Council of Nicæa in connection with the Life of Athanasius (posthumously, 1853). [4]
He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1811.[ citation needed ]

Kaye was appointed Bishop of Bristol in 1820, and remained there until his translation in 1827 to Lincoln. Kaye served as Bishop of Lincoln for 26 years until his death in 1853. During his incumbency at Lincoln, he instigated widespread improvements to church buildings and parsonages and established new Church of England schools.
As Bishop of Lincoln, Kaye resided at Buckden Palace in Buckden Huntingdonshire. In 1837, the county was transferred to the Diocese of Ely and Kaye's official residence was transferred to Riseholme Hall, the newly established episcopal palace at Riseholme in Lincolnshire. [4]
In 1848, Kaye was elected Visitor of Balliol College, Oxford. [4]
At a time when the Oxford Movement sought to revive some older Catholic traditions within the Church of England, Kaye's theological inclinations leaned instead towards Evangelicalism, and he regarded the High Church movement with suspicion. He was opposed to the revival of the Convocations of Canterbury and York and was sympathetic to George Cornelius Gorham's views on baptism. [4]
He reformed the educational requirements for the Anglican clergy and attacked the Tractarians for betraying the English Reformation.[ citation needed ]
While at Christ's College, Cambridge, Kaye married Eliza Mortlock in 1815. They had three daughters and one son, William Frederic John Kaye, who was later ordained to the priesthood and was appointed Archdeacon of Lincoln in 1863 by his father's successor, Bishop John Jackson. [4]
Bishop Kaye is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's Church in Riseholme, Lincolnshire, a church that he himself had built during his reforms of the See of Lincoln. [4] [5] Within Lincoln Cathedral, Kaye is commemorated by a recumbent effigy tomb monument designed by Richard Westmacott. The memorial originally stood in St Hugh's transept, but was moved to the southern chapel. [6] [7] [8]
Bishop Kaye's grave at St Mary's Riseholme
Kaye's memorial tomb in Lincoln Cathedral
Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England it was built in the Early Gothic style.
Sir George Gilbert Scott, known as Sir Gilbert Scott, was a prolific English Gothic Revival architect, chiefly associated with the design, building and renovation of churches and cathedrals, although he started his career as a leading designer of workhouses. Over 800 buildings were designed or altered by him.
John Whitgift was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1583 to his death. Noted for his hospitality, he was somewhat ostentatious in his habits, sometimes visiting Canterbury and other towns attended by a retinue of 800 horses. Whitgift's theological views were often controversial.
Christopher Wordsworth was an English intellectual and a bishop of the Anglican Church.
William Smyth was Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1493 to 1496 and then Bishop of Lincoln until his death. He held political offices, the most important being Lord President of the Council of Wales and the Marches. He became very wealthy and was a benefactor of a number of institutions. He was a co-founder of Brasenose College, Oxford and endowed a grammar school in the village of his birth in Lancashire.
Riseholme is a small village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish was 450 at the 2011 census. It is situated approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) north from the city and county town of Lincoln.
The Honourable Richard Bagot was an English bishop.
Buckden Towers, formerly known as Buckden Palace, is a medieval fortified house and bishop's palace in Buckden, Cambridgeshire, England.
The Old Bishop's Palace is a historic visitor attraction in the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. When it was first built, in the late 12th century, it was at the centre of the vast Diocese of Lincoln, which stretched from the Humber to the Thames. The Palace was one of the most impressive buildings of medieval England, reflecting the power and wealth of Lincoln's bishops. It is situated on a spectacular hillside site, just below Lincoln Cathedral, providing extensive views over the city. The site lies immediately to the south of the Roman wall which had become the medieval defensive wall of the Bail, which enclosed both Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral. The palace was damaged during the Civil War and subsequently largely abandoned. During the period that followed the Bishop's main residence was Buckden Palace in Huntingdonshire. In 1841, following the reduction in size of the Diocese of Lincoln, the Bishop moved to Riseholme, to the north of Lincoln. This proved inconvenient and Riseholme Hall was sold. In 1886 an older building on the western side of the Palace enclosure was substantially rebuilt and enlarged in a Tudor revival style by the architect Ewan Christian. A further change occurred in 1888 when the architects Bodley and Garner rebuilt and converted the southern portion of the medieval Great Hall into a chapel for the Bishop.
Sir George Pretyman Tomline, 5th Baronet was an English clergyman, theologian, Bishop of Lincoln and then Bishop of Winchester, and confidant of William Pitt the Younger. He was an opponent of Catholic emancipation.

If you have been facing fermentation problems in your domestic or commercial brewery or distillery then the ordinary yeast used by you could be the culprit since additional yeast nutrient is needed to produce healthy yeast cells. If you want to consistently make stronger alcoholic beverages and also want to extract the maximum quantity of alcohol from each batch then you certainly required an enhanced form of yeast to provide you with the desired results.
Ethanol fermentation is one of the most important processes in turning the mixture of water with different fruits, vegetables or grains into the required alcohol with the desired strength, taste, and character. Yeast that belongs to the fungi family is utilized to ferment most sugars present in the mixture into equal parts of ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. Yeast feeds on sugars present in that mixture and creates ethanol and CO2 as by-products before dying as the alcohol gets stronger or the temperature rises above its comfort levels.
If you have used ordinary brewing yeast or distillers yeast then you must be conversant with the problem of slow fermentation or stuck fermentation where your yeast is overwhelmed quickly by strong alcohol or high temperatures. This is akin to an average athlete trying to win a race without adequate nutrition inside his or her body to power the body for a win. What you require is the presence of essential nutrients in the yeast before it is added to the mixture so that healthy yeast cells in the yeast perform in a better manner even if the temperature rises during sugar fermentation or if the alcohol strength rises to higher levels.
One such pure-bred yeast that is free from harmful bacteria and wild yeast strains is turbo yeast. This yeast is infused with micro yeast nutrient properties that truly make it extremely tough and efficient yeast. Turbo yeast is fortified with micro nutrients such as vitamins, amino acids, enzymes and various minerals that give it a fighting edge over ordinary yeast. This dried yeast needs to be simply infused with the desired mixture to provide you with stronger alcohol even at higher temperatures. In fact, turbo yeasts are known to deliver alcohol with up to 18 percent strength even at temperatures of over 38 degrees Celsius.
Thus, infusing good quality yeast with these vital nutrients enhances it to achieve high alcohol tolerance levels as well as high temperature tolerances at the same time. You can also bid goodbye to slow or stuck fermentation problems even as you receive a higher yield of alcohol from each batch. Fortified yeast can now lower your production costs as well as provide you with purer and stronger alcohol at the same time. It does make more sense to opt for a fortified yeast variant than an ordinary one if you want to improve your end product in terms of quality and quantity.
Yeast is a critical ingredient in the manufacture of ethanol or alcohol or even bio ethanol and you require yeast that can handle stronger levels of alcohol and higher temperatures during ethanol fermentation with ease. Turbo yeast is one such fortified yeast that can help lower your costs and increase your production while also providing you with better quality alcohol too. Truly, additional yeast nutrient is needed to produce healthy yeast cells and promote healthy yeast growth, which in turn can perform better to provide you with your desired alcoholic beverage with that perfect strength, flavor and character.

Can You Feel The Love Tonight? Definitely Not
By Addictive TracksFebruary 9, 2015No Comments
On the approach to Valentine's Day, here is a quick list of good and bad love songs to both encourage romance and also completely remove it from the room. To start off with, here are some examples of very bad love songs.
Breakfast Can Wait – Prince
Prince is known for his sexy demeanor and racy lyrics but this time he has clearly lost his mind. This song is about him wanting to extend a night of passion and delay breakfast until later in the morning. However for some strange reason he just starts listing breakfast ingredients in a sexy manner.
"Grits and gravy, cheese, eggs and jam
Can nobody cook it like you girl"
For those who aren't sure, grits is a kind of corn-based porridge – Prince, you old romantic. "Nobody cook it like you girl", that's because nobody cooks eggs with jam, Prince, you seem to be dating a pensioner. Later in the song he goes on to discuss hotcakes and honey but at least those foods are vaguely sexual, there's nothing sexy about cheese and gravy. Breakfast isn't the only thing that can wait; his next album could probably be indefinitely postponed as well.
Fix You – Coldplay
People get so distracted with the soppiness of the song that they seem to forget that its whole premise revolves around Chris Martin berating his love for her shortcomings and essentially calling her broken. You don't have to be Casanova to know that the best way to a girl's heart doesn't include exposing her character flaws and insulting her. If you listen very hard you can just make out the sound of a well-deserved slap at the end of the song.
Wake Me Up – Ed Sheeran
The reason why this song is on the list can be summed up by the following lyrics (brace yourself):
"I know you love Shrek
'Cause we've watched it twelve times
But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too
And if your DVD breaks today
You should've got a VCR
Because I've never owned a Blue ray"
Powerful stuff. Nothing spells love like a Scottish ogre and a list of various video formats. With embarrassing lyrics like these, it's hard to understand why Ed Sheeran hasn't been laughed out of the music industry by angry villagers armed with pitchforks, torches, and a sincere distaste for terrible music.
Ending on a more positive note, here are some examples of very good love songs whose presence in this section is fairly obvious just from a quick listen. Whether it's the thoughtful lyrics, the well-constructed composition, or the soulful expression in which they're sung, these songs represent pure manifestations of pleasure and pain with a caliber that all musicians should strive towards. This is what love sounds like:
Lover, You Should've Come Over – Jeff Buckley
"It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"
At last – Etta James
"I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known"
The Way You Look Tonight – Tony Bennett
"Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight"
Alex Olesen

SS Rajamouli recently happened to watch Gunasekhar's latest movie Rudhramadevi and he posted about the movie on his social networking page.
Sweety, with your screen presence, dedication, commitment, sincerity you are a boon to the film industry. No one else could be Rudhramadevi... Period.
Would Have loved more screen time for Veerabhadra and Rudhramadevi. But Rana made his presence felt even with that. For any film maker who wants to make a period film he is indispensable.
Again would have loved more political game from Sivadevayya, but guess that is enough for Prakashraj garu to excel.
Congratulations to Gunasekhar garu and his team for attempting making releasing and garnering a huge success".

Thomas Wentworth Higginson (American National Biography)
Radical action was central to Higginson's efforts. His unequivocal opposition to the fugitive slave law was evident as he participated in freeing fugitive slave Thomas Sims and participating in attacking the Boston Courthouse, where fugitive slave Anthony Burns was held. Recruiting and leading armed men to the Kansas territory after passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854), Higginson helped organize the Massachusetts Kansas Aid Committee, the militant arm of the Emigrant Aid Society. "A single day in Kansas," wrote Higginson from Lawrence, "makes the American Revolution more intelligible than all Sparks and Hildreth [historians; see Jared Sparks] can do." He praised "Old Captain John Brown . . . who has prayers every morning, and then sallies forth, with seven stalwart sons, wherever duty or danger calls, who swallows a Missourian whole and says grace after the meat" (Liberator, 16 Jan. 1857). In January 1857 he organized the Worcester Disunion Convention, which declared that abolition must be the primary goal: "peace or war is a secondary consideration" (Proceedings of the State Disunion Convention, Boston [1857], p. 18).
Higginson was one of the "Secret Six"--abolitionists who raised money for Brown's planned slave insurrection at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Unlike some other radical abolitionists, he supported Lincoln's presidential candidacy. But his wife's poor health prevented him, at the war's outset, from joining the army. Instead, he became a man of letters, publishing frequently in the Atlantic Monthly.

Drake Confronts Grammys For Not Being Inclusive of Black Artists
by Esther Ogundipe November 27, 2020 November 27, 2020 Leave a reply 81
Drake has called for the Grammys to be replaced with "something new that we can build up over time and pass on to the generations to come" after it failed to recognize his pop peer the Weeknd in any of its 2021 categories despite the latter's global chart domination this year. His remarks reflect longstanding criticism that the Grammys habitually overlooks Black artistry.
Posting on Instagram, Drake highlighted Lil Baby, Pop Smoke, Partynextdoor, Popcaan and "too many missing names to even name" as artists snubbed by the Recording Academy this year. He said, "I think we should stop allowing ourselves to be shocked every year by the disconnect between impactful music and these awards and just accept that what once was the highest form of recognition may no longer matter to the artists that exist now and the ones who come after."
In 2018, Drake refused to submit his album More Life for Grammys consideration after being frustrated that his single Hotline Bling won best rap song in 2017 despite not featuring rap. "Maybe because I've rapped in the past or because I'm Black, I can't figure out why," he said at the time. After receiving no nominations for his album After Hours or huge single Blinding Lights, the Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye called the Grammys "corrupt". Recording Academy chair and interim president Harvey Mason Jr said they understood Tesfaye's disappointment. "His music this year was excellent, and his contributions to the music community and broader world are worthy of everyone's admiration."
The frustration expressed by Drake and the Weeknd suggests that the Recording Academy's recent attempts to address diversity and inclusion have not been sufficiently effective. Critics also questioned the absence of Lil Uzi Vert and the sidelining of Burna Boy, an internationally famous and influential Nigerian pop star, to the best global music album category (recently renamed from "best world music album"), as well as the presence of white rapper Post Malone in the album of the year category.
