I feel it's only fair to give you an "EEEWWWWW Alert" and the "TMI Warning" before letting you read about this one. I don't think it's too gross, but my children certainly do! So, read on at your own risk. Also, it seems to have gotten rather long…you might want to just skip it!
I have about a zillion moles. I've always had them. (I think I was born with them so we'll just blame my mother.) I'd never really thought about them much before Shaun came along. Shaun who tends to tease people unmercifully when he thinks he can get away with it—and often when he knows he can't. In fact, my moles were the cause of our first big fight. I nearly ended it with him that day. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that the heavens opened up (think Monty Python here) and I saw a vision that foretold of the day that our future children would feed him Bertie Bott's beans spiked candy.
Anyways, that's just background and doesn't really have anything to with anything. Moving on, I have this mole under my arm. It's always been bigger than the rest of them. Over the years, I have learned to not shave it off in the shower and to just generally ignore it. Over the last few months I've noticed it growing. (eeewww) I mentioned it to Shaun and he offered to cut it off for me with his toenail clippers. (EEEWWW) Naturally, I had to ignore him as I often do. Yesterday morning, I told him that had been hurting me and was getting worse. He went into a mild panic and strongly suggested that I go see a doctor. I'd say he told me to go see the doctor, but, well, I have him trained better than that. So, I called and made an appointment.
The doctor took a quick look at it and quickly assured me that it was non-cancerous and that it was hurting because it was half strangulated. He also informed me that it was probably growing because my body was maturing. (Now wasn't that a nice way of saying I'm getting old?) Then he asked if I'd like it removed. Almost before I could finish answering him, I found myself propelled down the hall into a room that was labeled "Minor Procedures". It was a very white and very sterile looking room. I'm not sure if that was supposed to reassure my anxiousness or not. In the middle of it was an ominous looking platform with a huge glaring spotlight overhead. The nurse quickly had me situated on top of it with one of those lovely gowns draped over me toga style. Then she aimed the spotlight directly at me.
Within moments the doctor was back and instructing the nurse to go find a cauterizer. Then he placed a face shield over his head…something that a welder or maybe Darth Vader would wear. Quickly putting two and two together I simply had to ask him exactly how much blood he was expecting with this "procedure". He never really answered my question but proceeded to tell me all about the different cysts he had dealt with that reminded him of Old Faithful. Huh.
Then we were ready to begin. As he was injecting the anesthesia I told him for the third time that my body eats that stuff up like candy. Seriously. He just gave a smug little smile and muttered something about how we would just have to work quickly. Then, without giving the drug time to start working, he got to work. My hapless mole was grasped in what looked like oversized tweezers. He pulled that poor hunk of my flesh out at least an inch then laid his scalpel against me.
"Let me know if you can feel this" he said.
"Hmmm, maybe you were right about the anesthesia" he mumbled, "I'll just…" and with a sudden sharp pain my mole was sliced off and placed on the tray with a flourish. Before I could say a word he popped the top off of a long white cylinder. He swiftly placed it against me and I could hear the sizzling of my flesh and watched as tendrils of smoke curled up towards the light. He asked me if it hurt. I replied that it didn't hurt, but was making me a bit nauseas. I think to take my mind off what had just been done, he showed me his little cauterizer and explained how it worked that that it was like a little solder iron. That perked me up! "Do you just toss that now?" I asked "Can I have it? Pretty please?" He looked at me rather oddly then told me sure, but not to let anyone know. I was so thrilled with my new little toy that I instantly forgave him the needless pain he had caused me.
I'm glad I picked a slow day to go in. I don't miss my mole at all. And I'm going to love my cauterizer.
0 Responses to Holey Moley!
Mother, I can't believe you actually wrote a story about your "mole" and put it on the internet. *Sighs* What am I going to do with you….
Oh my! Did I embarass you? …Mission Acomplished!!!

Why Australia, the US and Japan are banned from speaking at the UN's flagship climate summit
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said that only countries making bold climate commitments can speak at the UN summit on Monday Credit: Lisi Niesner/REUTERS
Sarah Newey, Global Health Security correspondent
20 September 2019 • 1:08pm
Sarah Newey
At the United Nations' crunch climate change summit on Monday world leaders will be asked to commit to ramping up efforts to tackle climate change and limit global emissions.
But in an unusual move the UN is only allowing countries announcing ambitious new carbon-cutting targets, or assisting developing countries fight climate change, to speak at the event.
The decision means that nations including Japan, Australia and South Africa will be barred from the main stage during the summit due to their continued support for coal.
The US will also be excluded because of Donald Trump's intentions to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement – and the president is not expected to attend the summit.
Saudi Arabia and Brazil, who have also criticised the landmark pact, will be snubbed from speaking – while Jair Bolsanaro and Australia's prime minister Scott Morrison are also reported to be avoiding the event.
Carbon emissions per country, 2017, GHS
The exclusion of these countries is not a complete surprise.
Antonio Guterres, the UN's secretary-general, has previously told governments to "bring plans, not speeches" to the plenary session in New York, which is taking place ahead of the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Reports this week suggests that he will follow through on this demand.
"We are losing the fight against climate change," Mr Guterres said on Wednesday. "I expect that there will be the announcement and unveiling of a number of meaningful plans on reducing emissions in the next decade and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050."
The UN's deputy secretary general, Amina Mohammed added: "We will see on Monday who is stepping up. We will see what climate leadership looks like."

While the UN's move has been praised by environmental groups, it is not without controversy.
Coal has emerged as a pivotal issue ahead of the summit. More than 100 coal power stations are currently being built, including new plants in Japan and South Africa.
But China and India, two of the world's largest emitters of carbon and biggest builders of coal stations, are among roughly 60 countries – including the UK, France and Germany – expected to speak at the summit.
The two vast nations are likely to use their three minute slots to call for trillions of dollars more in climate funding from the developed world, but it is not yet certain if they will make any concrete commitments.
Both are under considerable pressure to adopt more ambitious climate-related targets.
Key elements | Paris climate change agreement
Reports have suggested that countries will be permitted to speak at the meeting if they commit one of three goals: be carbon neutral by 2050, "significantly" increase targets to cut emissions, or make a "meaningful" pledge to the Green Climate Fund.
This is a pot of money provided by wealthy countries to aid developing economies fight climate change and avoid fossil fuels.
The summit has been called because global greenhouse gas emissions have continued to rise despite commitments made in the Paris climate agreement.
In 2015, 195 countries including the European Union pledged to limit global warming to below 2C – but at the current rate, the world is on track for at least 3C of warming by the end of the century.
Climate has emerged as a key issue at the UNGA this year amid global climate protests, led by the teenager Greta Thunberg.

Art In Needle Work: A Book About Embroidery
by Lewis F. Day
Embroidery begins with the needle, and the needle (thorn, fish-bone, or whatever it may have been) came into use so soon as ever savages had the wit to sew skins and things together to keep themselves warm—modesty, we may take it, was an afterthought—and if the stitches made any sort of pattern, as coarse stitching naturally would, that was embroidery.
The term is often vaguely used to denote all kinds of ornamental needlework, and some with which the needle has… (more)
The term is often vaguely used to denote all kinds of ornamental needlework, and some with which the needle has nothing to do. That is misleading; though it is true that embroidery does touch, on the one side, tapestry, which may be described as a kind of embroidery with the shuttle, and, on the other, lace, which is needlework pure and simple, construction "in the air" as the Italian name has it.
The term is used in common parlance to express any kind of superficial or superfluous ornamentation. A poet is said to embroider the truth. But such metaphorical use of the word hints at the real nature of the work—embellishment, enrichment, added.

Scylla and Charybdis
From The Official GPF Wiki
This article is a stub and will be fleshed out as time permits. It also serves as a loose summation of a major story arc within the GPF archives. A full appreciation and understanding of the events encompassed in this story can only come from reading it in its entirety.
Start Date in Archive: Years Fifteen and Sixteen, Scylla and Charybdis, November 4, 2013
Duration: Two years, 104 three-day weeks, 312 comics
Location: Primarily Earth, near-Earth orbit, or orbit around Earth's moon
Scylla and Charybdis is the third GPF "mega" story arc encompassing all of GPF's fifteenth and sixteenth "years". It is the culmination of events occurring and alluded to in the previous fourteen years and is in some respects a direct "sequel" to the previous "mega-arc", To Thine Own Self.... It primarily centers around the mysterious plot orchestrated by Colonel Lionel Barker, Fooker and Justin's father, and an impending interstellar war between two alien species over the biological and natural resources of Earth. It also explores Fred's origins, as well as strained relationship between Trudy and "Nega-Nick", who has been impersonating the "real" Nick since he mysteriously vanished near the beginning of Year Thirteen.

2 Repercussions
Prologue (November 4, 2013 to November 15, 2013)
Brooding from some mysterious location, Colonel Lionel Barker, father of brothers Jason "Fooker" Barker and Justin, contemplates mysterious events that are about to unfold. With a brief dip into ancient Greek mythology and American Revolutionary history, the Colonel seems resolved to carry out his plans to the bitter end, despite reservations that few will understand his motives.
Chapter One (November 18, 2013 to January 10, 2014)
It's business as usual at GPF Software. As the team tests a new in-house geo-location game called "Friend Field", they also split off to tackle separate tasks. "Nick" (really "Nega-Nick" from the "Negaverse") and Trudy are off on another trip for a few days to meet with a client, Ki is still out of town but on her way home, and Fooker and Sharon have a few days off to prepare for their upcoming wedding. Meanwhile, Dexter, Patty, and Fred have a mysterious errand to run, and before they know it, Trish is tagging along as well. As the team parts ways, we begin setting the stage for the chaos to come, especially when Fooker and Sharon stumble onto unexpected visitors....
Chapter Two (January 13, 2014 to April 4, 2014)
Fred's mysterious errand is finally revealed: he's off to confront his ever persistent stalker, "Socrates". But when he, Dexter, Patty, and Trish arrive at an abandoned junk yard, they find "Socrates" is not what any of them expect. Meanwhile, Trudy grapples with her loss of control around "Nick", struggling to keep him and the "link" between them out of her thoughts. "Nega-Nick", on the other hand, seems to leverage this weakness to his fullest advantage. As our focus returns to Fooker, Sharon, and their surprise visitors, Fooker's brother Justin recounts a tale filled with swirling twists and daring escapes, until the group quickly discovers they need to make another escape of their own...
Chapter Three (April 7, 2014 to August 22, 2014)
In this gargantuan chapter, our multiple threads dance around each other, occasionally weaving a complex but interlocking tale. Socrates gives us new insight into Fred's true origins, changing everything we've ever known about our gelatinous friend. Meanwhile, Fooker, Sharon, and Justin find themselves in the company of the mysterious Grey aliens and are awakened to the true scope of the Physaric threat. As these two threads converge, we get conflicting perspectives on the origin of both alien species and their long running conflict. We also hear the embarrassing tale of how the "Mister Inertia mech" came to be and are reunited with a long lost old friend. Finally, Trudy gives "Nega-Nick" the cold shoulder until a fiery confrontation leads to a much hotter climax....
Chapter Four (August 25, 2014 to November 28, 2014)
This chapter is literally out of this world as all our heroes (and villains) find themselves aboard one of two alien space ships. Aboard the Grey vessel, Ki is reunited with the husband she didn't know she'd lost, but Nick didn't know he was lost to begin with... or that he has a wife. At the same time, Pi and Planck reveal the mysterious Physarics to Fooker, Sharon, and Justin, forcing Fooker to reveal why he's been giving Fred the cold shoulder for the past few years. As Sharon and Justin confront Fooker over his knee-jerk assumptions, our attention shifts to Patty, Dexter, and Trish (with a hidden Persephone in tow), who find themselves aboard the Physaric ship and the unwitting guests of Colonel Lionel Barker, the self-proclaimed "savior of the human race" (despite, you know, his apparent aiding the Physarics in their conquest of Earth). Meanwhile, "Nega-Nick's" tryst with Trudy leads to their capture and transport deep into the bowels of the Physaric ship, where they each make separate unexpected discoveries....
Chapter Five (December 1, 2014 to March 13, 2015)
Colonel Barker's mysterious plan is finally revealed as he chronicles his past connections with the Physarics and his research into the Greys. His analogy to Odysseus is made plain as Earth faces its own passage "between Scylla and Charybdis", the two warring alien factions that threaten to devastate the planet. Just how does he plan to save the human race while seeming to steer it into slavery? Meanwhile, Fred confronts his lost past and must make a choice between the legacy he never knew he had and the only planet he's ever called home. Elsewhere, Trudy's reunion with her mother unravels further mysteries about her relationship with the Colonel, as well as a heartbreaking revelation sure to have future ramifications for her and Sharon....
Chapter Six (March 16, 2015 to June 19, 2015)
The solar system's grandest poker game begins as the Grey Seventh Fleet arrives, evening the odds between the two alien factions and ensuring that interstellar war is all but inevitable. As Fooker fills in the Grand Protuberance on the situation, Ki revives Nick's memories, prompting him to come up a "last ditch idea" to hold off the war. Chekhov's gun eventually fires and our separated heroes finally reestablish contact, giving Nick a chance to formulate a plan. Earth's first interplanetary peace conference gets off to a rocky start as Colonel Barker accelerates his plans, forcing Nick to play his trump card. However, the double-crosses are far from over as the Greys seize their opportunity to attack. With little other choice, Nick is forced to play his ace in the hole, sending our story to only one fateful conclusion....
Chapter Seven (June 22, 2015 to September 18, 2015)
The fireworks are over; now it's time to deal with the aftermath. As our heroes reunite, Nick plays the reluctant diplomat while suspiciously avoiding his friends' lingering questions. When they finally do corner him, his answer to the fate of the Earth leaves a lot to be desired. Meanwhile, the Colonel and the Key Master are detained, while the Physarics offer Fred a last chance to return to the home he never knew. As the gang attempts to adjust to their new lives, they draw solace in one blessed event: Fooker and Sharon are finally married, with the Great Skaboola officiating, no less!
Epilogue I (September 21, 2015 to October 9, 2015)
As the Physaric fleet retreats from Earth's solar system, something sinister stirs within the (literal) bowels of one of their ships. In true GPF fashion, no story ends without leaving key plot threads dangling, and this may be the biggest unresolved plot thread of them all...
Epilogue II (October 12, 2015 to October 30, 2015)
Not one, but two epilogues! The repercussions Nick's actions stretch far and wide, and they will not go unnoticed. But what happens when two of the most powerful entities in the known Cosmos are powerless to stop these events, and equally unsure how to repair the damage?

Q: При компиляции модели, получаю ошибку 'Unknown metric function:precision' Всем привет,
Помогите разобраться с вопросом пожалуйста.
Создал нейронную сеть. Компилирую ее по метрике 'precision'
Вот код
def create_baseline_precision():
    model = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(256, input_shape = [44]))
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(256, activation=tf.nn.softmax))
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(256, activation=tf.nn.relu))
    model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(2, activation=tf.nn.softmax))
    model.compile(optimizer = 'adadelta',
                 loss = 'categorical_crossentropy',
                 metrics = ['precision', 'recall'])
    return model

Далее запускаю модель по обычному флоу, который до этого работал при metrics = ['accuracy']
estimator = KerasClassifier(build_fn=create_baseline_precision, epochs=200, batch_size=5, verbose=1)

scaler = MinMaxScaler((-1, 1))

pipeline = Pipeline([
    ('scaler', scaler),
    ('classifier', estimator)
])

y_true, y_pred = cross_val_predict_timeseries_splits(
    pipeline, X=X.values, y=y.values, cv=cv,
    n_jobs=-1, flatten=True
)

Получаю ошибку: Unknown metric function:precision
Вместо 'precision' я пробовал использовать tf.keras.metrics.Precision, но ситуация не изменилась.
Как правильно компилировать модель с использованием 'precision'?
Спасибо

Do you ever feel like you know you're meant for something more in life? That what you're doing now is not what you should be doing? Choosing the right career is such a tricky thing, and one that I know a lot of people struggle with; me included. There are so many things I want to do in life, and I can feel it dwindling away the older I get. I know I shouldn't let that get to me, that my age shouldn't hold me back from what I want in life, and although that's good advice, it doesn't always hold true. I've been at a crossroads in my life for a few years now. I stayed with a company for a lot longer than I should have because I was complacent. I've started with a new company in the same field as the previous and am finding that it's not making me feel any better. I want to change things up. Challenge myself. And where I am now is not doing that. So this begs the question of "how do I fix this?"
My first thought is to look for something else. So I have. But this also worries me that if I do get something else, will it make me happy? I know a lot of people would respond saying, "only you can make yourself happy". But if I'm not even entirely sure what I want in life, how can I make myself happy? I can be in a happy state of mind, but aren't I just fooling myself? So while I'm looking for something new, something that will challenge me and most of all something that will hopefully make me happy even if only temporarily, I've decided to make a sort of bucket list of the things I want to do, careers I would love to have and what I think could make me a lot happier. A lot of this list may not be realistic, and a lot may be, but will take a good amount of time to accomplish. Overall it's something I can refer to often and remind myself that there are ways to be happy, I just need to work for them. And please don't get me wrong, the job I have now is so much better than my last, and the people are worlds apart too, and I'm grateful I have the job, but I know I'm meant for something more. I've worked long and hard for more than half my life now and I owe it to myself to be and do what I want with my life. Right?
If you noticed, my aspirations aren't typical of the women in my state of wanting to get married and have kids. Those aren't a high priority for me. If love finds me, then so be it and I'll welcome it with open arms, but it's not something I strive for right now. I need to find my inner happiness first. And as for kids, well if you know me then you know that is most definitely not a concern of mine.
This list may grow, but hopefully it will shrink because I've crossed things off for having accomplished them. I just want to be happy and love what I do. I don't think that's too much to ask.

If you watch TV, read the newspaper, listen to the radio or use social media, you have probably heard something about Medicare and changes that are coming in 66 of Minnesota's 87 counties. To see a map of these counties, click on the following link.
What does this change mean to you? First, let me offer an explanation of each part of Medicare.
Medicare Part A is hospital insurance and Medicare Part B is medical insurance. Together, they make up Original Medicare and can be purchased directly from Medicare (the government).
Medicare Part C is known also known as Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage plans are sold through insurance companies that contract with the government to administer the benefits.
Medicare Advantage includes all of the components of Medicare Parts A and B, and can include additional benefits coverage such as vision or dental.
Medicare Part D is voluntary prescription drug coverage that is always administered by a third party (not Medicare). While this benefit is included in some Medicare Advantage plans automatically, it can also be purchased separately.
Medicare Cost plans are similar to Medicare Advantage plans in that they are purchased through insurance companies and often combine several Medicare parts under one plan. With Cost plans however, Medicare is billed for Part A services, and the insurance company is billed for Part B services. These are the plans that can no longer be sold in most Minnesota counties starting in 2019.
In many counties, as stated above, Medicare Cost Plans are going away. This means the supplemental plan you have now that pays for eye care, dental and other additional healthcare benefits, will no longer be available by the usual method.
We are here to help. Many communities and organizations will be offering seminars and classes to help you understand these changes and what you will need to do to get the coverage you need. Knowledge is power, so make plans to attend one of these free educational seminars/classes somewhere. Open enrollment starts October 1. If you do nothing, a plan will be picked for you. But if you want a say in what healthcare you have and where your money is spent, you must participate in open enrollment.
Coventry Senior Living will be offering a free webinar to help navigate the Medicare maze. Our speaker, Grant Rockwood, has been in the health insurance industry his whole professional career and has strong relationships with different government entities and carriers such as BlueCross BlueShield of MN, Health Partners, Humana and AARP. Currently he helps educate individuals and small businesses on all aspects of health insurance and Medicare coverage.
Please watch for an announcement coming soon with detailed information. For now mark your calendar for September 24, 2018.

Miter Saws Recalled Due to Injury Hazard
On August 4, 2022, DeWALT Industrial Tool Company recalled nearly 1.4 million miter saws after receiving nine reports of laceration injuries. The rear safety guard on the power saw can break or come off, exposing the user and bystanders to potential injury from projectiles. In addition, without the protection of the safety guard, the user could suffer serious wounds by coming into direct contact with the spinning saw blade. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the miter saws were sold by numerous retailers, including Lowe's, The Home Depot, Amazon, and hardware stores nationwide.
Miter Saw Recall Details
Including the nine reports of laceration injuries, DeWALT received a total of 571 reports of the rear safety guard assembly or components breaking or detaching. Below are the details of the DeWALT miter saw recall as listed on the CPSC website:

Faulty Railings Can Lead to Falls and Catastrophic Injuries
High-level falls can occur from any multi-story building, but when a building has old or broken railings on balconies or stairwells, the risk is particularly high. And high-level falls commonly result in serious injuries, including traumatic brain and spinal injuries.
Railings are generally anchored to a building to keep them in place, but railing systems can loosen over time, increasing the risk of failure. Without proper maintenance and regular inspections, old railings – which provide a false sense of security – can be deadly. A Boston personal injury lawyer can help you determine how to proceed if you've been injured due to another's negligence.
Defective Design
In some cases, railings are obviously old and worn, but even a railing that appears intact may be faulty or defective. And railings don't need to be loose to fail; when a person falls through or over a railing because of poor design, they can be just as seriously injured. A little boy fell through a space in the railings of a Virginia hotel balcony in 2013, suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI). He was awarded $10.9 million in damages.
Generally speaking, it is the responsibility of a property owner to ensure that railings are safe if their properties are open to the public. This is also true of homeowners who invite guests onto their property. If Sara decides to have a party on her deck despite the loose, dilapidated railings, for example, she is likely to be liable if someone is injured when the railing fails. If, however, Sara just had a brand new railing installed, and someone is injured because of a design defect, the responsible party may be the designer, manufacturer or retailer.
Is the Railing Up to Code?
Landlords and business owners have an even greater responsibility to ensure that their railings are safe.They have a duty to maintain their property in a safe condition, which includes ensuring that deck, balcony, porch and stairwell railings are properly installed and compliant with local building codes. For example, railings must be a certain height to prevent adults from tripping and children from climbing over, and spaces between slats must be a certain height and width to prevent a child from trapping his or her head between them.
According to the CDC, nearly two million people are seriously injured or die from traumatic brain injuries annually, and many of these are due to falls. In fact, falls are the leading cause of TBIs, accounting for more than 35 percent of the injuries. And many fall injuries are the result of faulty railings or missing handrails in stairwells.
Sadly, the problem doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. There are an estimated 50 million wooden decks and balconies in the U.S. alone, and the majority are more than 25 years old. A MA personal injury attorney can help you recover damages if you've been injured due to another's negligence. Continue reading

Jury Awards $227 Million to Victims of 2013 Wall Collapse
In 2013, an unsecured brick wall collapsed onto a Salvation Army store in 2013, killing seven people and injuring another 12. The tragic incident occurred when the wall, which was located at a demolition site, fell onto the Philadelphia, PA thrift store. Following a 17-week long trial, victims were awarded a total of $227 million, to be divided among the survivors and family members of the deceased. In total, 19 families were affected by this devastating accident.
The demolition site owner, the architect and contractor managing the demolition, and the Salvation Army were all found to be liable for the collapse, and thus the resulting injuries and deaths. The Salvation Army will pay $200 million of the settlement, and the demolition site owner is responsible for the remaining $27 million. A Boston injury lawyer can help you determine how to proceed if another's negligence has caused you or a loved one harm.
How Will the Settlement be Divided?
In cases where large settlements are divided among multiple recipients, juries decide how much each plaintiff should receive. In some situations, however, parties may agree to divide the award outside of court. That is exactly how the Philadelphia case is being handled; the survivors and families will divide the proceeds in arbitration. This is different from a class action verdict in that every plaintiff must be in agreement with the way the award is to be distributed. In smaller cases, this agreement may be reached with a conversation and a handshake, but with nearly 20 parties involved in the Philadelphia case, an arbitrator is crucial to a fair, friendly, and efficient distribution process.
What is Arbitration?
Arbitration is one form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a process that provides an alternative to going to trial. In arbitration, each individual involved will be asked to sign an agreement that describes what was agreed upon. This effectively means that plaintiffs will not be permitted to appeal the decision, with very few exceptions. Once all parties have agreed to be bound by the agreement, anyone who wishes to receive a portion of the award must submit evidence of their damages to the arbitrator. Following this process, and based on the findings, the arbitrator will divide the damages as deemed appropriate. Although the trial above lasted several years, arbitration is rarely as long. In fact, this case will likely be concluded within a few months.
Disadvantages of Arbitration
In some cases, arbitration can dramatically reduce stress and legal costs. But it's not always the best course of action. For starters, you have limited recourse following arbitration; if the arbitrator's award isn't fair, there is little to nothing you can do to air your grievances in court. Arbitration may also present an uneven playing field, created by the arbitration clauses of large companies, for example. And the process of choosing an arbitrator is rarely an objective one. If you are unsure whether arbitration is right for you, a MA injury lawyer can help you determine how to move forward. Continue reading

The Shocking Frequency of Gas Line Accidents in MA
Every year in Massachusetts, hundreds of gas line accidents are caused by contractors, construction workers, and utility companies. In addition to being extremely dangerous, these accidents are costly and can lead to closed roads and other problems. In 2015, an explosion in Springfield injured 18 people and damaged 42 buildings when a utility worker accidentally hit a high-pressure gas line. Unfortunately, these accidents occur with relative frequency. Although most incidents are contained, larger explosions can result in serious injuries and fatalities.
WWLP 22News launched an investigation into these accidents, reviewing state records and interviewing contractors and utility companies. The findings were shocking – between November 2012 and December 2015, a total of 1,434 gas line accidents were reported. That's an average of more than one accident per day. Outside of Boston, Springfield and Chicopee had the highest reported number of accidents, with Springfield registering 48 and Chicopee registering 50. "There's so many roads in Chicopee that are under construction, and more work being done, there's more of an inherent chance that something might get hit," said Mark Galerneau, Chicopee's Fire Captain, "If the contractor is doing their due diligence and do what they're supposed to do I think they can minimize the problems."
The problem is, employers don't always do their due diligence, and workers can suffer the consequences. If you have been injured due to employer negligence, it is in your best interest to consult with a MA work injury lawyer as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Hundreds of Violations Discovered
According to state records, adequate precautions were not taken in 522 of the reported gas line accidents, and the lines were incorrectly marked or not properly maintained in 413 of the accidents. And in many cases, Dig Safe was never called. Dig Safe is a communication network that exists to notify utility companies when excavation work will be performed near their installations, and state law requires that individuals and companies performing excavations call Dig Safe prior to beginning work. Although Dig Safe training is not mandatory, following established laws is. Fines for violating these laws include:
First offense: $1,000
Second or subsequent offenses within a 12-month period: $5,000 to $10,000
Follow OSHA Regulations to Avoid Gas Line Explosions
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has established excavation requirements to protect workers from accidentally causing damage to underground gas lines. Prior to beginning any type of excavation, workers should:
Establish the location of underground gas lines.
Contact appropriate utility companies or property owners to establish exact location of underground gas lines.
If utility companies or property owners do not respond to the request within 24 hours, workers may proceed with caution with the assistance of detection equipment.
Use a safe and acceptable method to determine the exact location of gas lines.
When the gas line is located, it should be protected, supported, or removed as deemed necessary for the protection of workers and the local area.

Event company shuts down after tent collapse in NH kills two
A Florida-based event company, Walker International Events, has momentarily ceased all of its business and has been fined $24,000 by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) after an investigation revealed multiple safety failures led to two deaths and multiple injuries when a tent collapsed in New Hampshire during a circus act in August of 2015. In total, there were 14 total serious violations of workplace safety that were found as a result of the OSHA investigation. Primarily, the company most egregiously decided to go forward with their outdoor circus act, despite imminent and well-established thunder storms raging through the area.
The storm ultimately played a large role in the tent's collapse, as did the company's failure to properly set up the tent to adhere to OSHA's workplace safety standards.
The fine and subsequent closing of the company (pending the creation of new safety regulations and standards) will do nothing to console those affected by the tragedy that claimed the lives of a child and their father and injured dozens more onlookers.
OSHA regulations exist to prevent these tragedies
No matter how unconventional or unexpected the setting, workers in America are put into dangerous situations every day, including circus workers and performers. These workers are all supposed to be properly protected by their employers, who are responsible for adhering to safety standards that ensure the workplace is as hazard-free as possible. By choosing to ignore severe weather warnings and not properly constructing their tent, Walker International Events is complicit in the two deaths and dozens of injuries that resulted as a result of their negligence. In addition to the immediate implications this has for them financially and for their business, they will be liable for civil lawsuits from those affected by the incident as well.
All employers must take great care to not put their employees, or any civilians such as those coming to see a circus show, into any undue risk of injury or death. Failure to ensure this safety is simply unacceptable, and Walker International Events is learning that the hard way. Continue reading

OSHA Cites Contractor with Multiple Safety Violations Following Inspection
Following an inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a Wolcott, Connecticut contractor has been cited for multiple safety violations. When inspectors drove by a work site at 55 Rodgers Lane on May 4, 2016, they observed workers on the property's roof, without proper fall protection gear. Although they were wearing safety harnesses, the harnesses were not connected to any type of anchor. The inspectors instructed the foreman to remedy the issue, and the workers immediately anchored their harnesses.
During a follow up visit two days later, and another on May 12, inspectors again found workers atop a roof with unanchored safety harnesses. An unanchored harness can actually be more dangerous than no harness at all; it provides a false sense of protection. "This employer exposed its employees deliberately to potentially deadly or disabling falls on multiple occasions, and has a history of fall-related violations at job sites in Connecticut. This is unacceptable," said Patrick Griffin, OSHA's local director. "Falls are the leading cause of death in construction work. That won't change unless employers take seriously their responsibility to provide safe working conditions for their employees."
OSHA cited M&M Roofing for multiple violations, including:
A willful violation for inadequate fall protection.
Failure to properly train employees on fall hazards.
Improper ladders for the job; for purposes of stability, ladders must extend a minimum of three feet above the next level. The contractor's ladders did not.
Open, unguarded holes in the roof. In 2013 and 2014, OSHA cited M&M Roofing for similar violations at Manchester and Watertown work sites.
Failure to provide adequate ladder safety training for workers.
Failure to provide adequate eye and face protection for certain workers, specifically those who use pneumatic nail guns and a leaf blower.
For the above violations, OSHA proposed fines totalling $185,194.
Falls – Number One Cause of Construction-Related Fatalities
Of the 899 construction-related fatalities in 2014, 345 were due to falls. In every one of these cases, the death was preventable. OSHA's "Fall Prevention Campaign" is a great resource for how to prevent serious injuries and deaths due to falls. The campaign includes three main points:
Plan ahead: Before the start of any project, employers must determine how the job will be accomplished, what tasks will be involved, and what safety gear and equipment is needed for each task. Cost estimates should include safety equipment.
Provide appropriate gear and equipment: Every job requires different equipment. For example, ladders must extend at least three feet about the next level. Some jobs require scaffolds, some do not. Rooftop workers should use personal fall arrest systems (PFAS), but it's equally important to make sure the harness fits, is in good working order, and is always anchored.
Train workers on safe use of equipment: The best safety equipment in the world is useless if the user doesn't know how it works. Workers should be trained in proper set up and use of all equipment, including ladders and scaffolds, and fall protection systems.
If you are concerned about unsafe working conditions at your place of employment, you can contact OSHA on their toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA. If you have been injured in a work-related accident, contact a MA work injury lawyer today. Continue reading

Duxbury Worker Killed at New Home Site on Saturday
A tragic accident in Duxbury on Saturday left a 28-year-old man dead. Jason Sanderson, of Carver, was using a chop saw when the saw kicked back, striking him in the neck. Sanderson was rushed to the hospital with a severe neck wound, an injury that later proved fatal. Sanderson died at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth. Sanderson and another worker were excavating an underground water line during the construction of a new home at 900 Tremont Street. In a statement, Duxbury Police Sergeant Dennis Symonds, said the accident occurred around 2 p.m. on Saturday.
According to investigators, the chop saw Sanderson was using "became bound", then popped back, making contact with his throat. The company Sanderson was working for has not been released. The incident is currently under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Duxbury Police Department. No foul play is suspected. If you've been injured in a work-related accident, contact a MA work injury lawyer today.
Common Causes of Construction Injuries and Death
Updated: November 21, 2016 1:21 pm
Can One Concussion Cause Long-Term Damage?
According to a recent study conducted by Oxford University scientists, when a young person suffers even one concussion, it can have long-term consequences. Head trauma can have a permanent impact on mental and physical health. This risk is greatly increased with multiple head traumas, but new evidence that even a single concussion can have catastrophic, life-long effects is alarming.
The study – the largest of its kind, to date – focused on individuals who suffered head trauma under the age of 25. The medical data covered a 40-year period, and the results of the study were startling. Young people who experience a single diagnosed concussion have:
A greater chance of receiving disability benefits
A greater chance of receiving mental health treatment
A lesser chance of graduating from high school than siblings
A lesser chance of attending college than siblings
Twice the risk of early death when compared to siblings without head injuries
In addition to the above results, the study also found that outcomes were better for those young people who suffered a concussion before the age of 15. In early childhood, the brain is more resilient than for young adults. For those who suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries, long-term consequences increased greatly. This new evidence is of special concern for families of children who participate in high-impact sports, such as football and rugby. Head injuries in young people are usually the result of sports injuries or motor vehicle accidents. If you are suffering from a head injury, contact a Boston personal injury lawyer today.
How to Identify a Concussion
A concussion may not be immediately obvious following a car accident or sports injury. Look for the signs and symptoms below if you or a loved one has experienced any type of head trauma.
Loss of consciousness immediately after the injury
Severe headache or headache that won't go away
Fatigue or drowsiness

NIOSH Report Shows Contributing Factors to 2014 Back Bay Fire.
In 2014, a deadly blaze in the Back Bay killed two firefighters and injured several others. The house fire, which was unintentionally caused by welders working at an adjacent building, quickly grew out of control due to high winds. Last week, Joseph Finn, Commissioner for the Boston Fire Department, held a press conference to release the results of an investigation conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). According to the NIOSH report, the 2014 accident was a result of a "perfect storm" of problems. Contact a Boston Personal Injury Lawyer Today.
The two firefighters killed in the Back Bay fire were 43-year-old Lt. Edward Walsh and 33-year-old Michael Kennedy. NIOSH's report criticized the fire department for lack of training and inadequate staffing, both of which may have contributed to the accident's devastating outcome. NIOSH also attributed the tragic outcome to high winds and the fact that firefighters were not notified in time. Several windows and doors were open at the time of the blaze, which allowed high winds to blow into the open spaces causing a backdraft. Fire consumes oxygen. If a fire has consumed all oxygen within a space and more oxygen suddenly becomes available (through an open door, window, or other opening), the explosive reaction is called a backdraft.
According to Finn, "People were literally blown off their feet." Adding to the unfortunate events, water was cut off to the house when the fire burned through the hose lines.
The NIOSH report included a review of contributing factors, as well as several proposed fixes to prevent similar catastrophic events in the future. In response to the criticism from NIOSH, Finn said, "I'm OK with the critical part. I don't take offense to it." However, he also said that the department had recognized the need for additional training and had devoted more time to training in the two years preceding the fire than in the previous 10 years.
Multiple high-profile cases in recent years have brought the Boston Fire Department under fire.
In 2009, a fatal fire truck crash was blamed on inadequate training when a BFD firefighter slammed into a building on Huntington Avenue.
Multiple fire trucks were cited for faulty brakes and other parts in 2009, resulting in several trucks being pulled out of service and the fire safety chief's termination for absenteeism.
The flawed tactical decisions of BFD supervisors were to blame for the death of two firefighters in a 2007 West Roxbury restaurant blaze. Their actions resulted in a backdraft that sent a giant fireball through the building.

Construction Wall Collapses in Malden, Trapping Four Adults and a Baby
Several people were injured on Tuesday when a temporary construction wall collapsed in the Boston suburb of Malden. The collapse, which occurred in front of a Japanese restaurant on Pleasant Street, trapped 5 people before dozens of witnesses lifted the wall, freeing the victims. A mother, her husband, and their toddler were among the victims. The mother received non-life threatening injuries. Fortunately, her son was not seriously hurt. Contact a Boston Injury Lawyer Today.
According to Malden police Capt. Glenn Cronin, the collapse was likely due to a strong gust of wind. Deepti and Sudhir Soni were trapped under the fallen wall with their 2-year-old son. The mother was taken to the hospital immediately following the incident. Sudhir Soni reported that his wife was diagnosed with a C1 spinal cord fracture. She will need to wear a collar until the injury heals. The family was walking on the Pleasant Street sidewalk when the plywood barrier collapsed. According to witnesses, the toddler's stroller frame protected him from serious injury.
"I Wouldn't Wish It On Anybody"
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is currently assisting local authorities with the investigation. In addition to the family of three, two other women, Albertina Pierre and Maureen Finn, were also injured. Pierre's son said his mother was crying. "She was like 'Isaiah I could have died,'" he said. Finn also recounted the traumatic experience. "It was so heavy it was unbelievable, I wouldn't wish it on anybody," she said. "I had walked by it several times, I thought it would be light, but it just crushed all of us." Paul Frazer, who was in a nearby jewelry store, was one of many witnesses who rushed out to help when the wall collapsed. "We didn't know what happened so we just kind of ran out there and we saw some people underneath, we heard a baby crying, just tried to lift it up and get the people out from underneath," he said.
You Just Never Know
Fortunately, nobody suffered life-threatening injuries in Tuesday's incident. However, it serves as a good reminder that 'freak accidents' can happen at any time, in any place. Living in the city, most of us walk past temporary construction walls and scaffolding multiple times each day. While the vast majority of these structures are sound, exceptions do exist. In fact, a similar incident occurred last week when construction staging collapsed in the North End, injuring a worker. Always use caution when walking beside, or under, these types of temporary structures. Unfortunately, when they do fall or collapse, injuries are common and can be serious or even fatal. This year, multiple scaffolding and staging collapses resulted in fatalities in New York City, Houston, and Raleigh, N.C. Continue reading

Vols' Jeremy Pruitt: Bryce Thompson reinstated. He 'needs to be around the football team'
Blake Toppmeyer
Tennessee cornerback Bryce Thompson returned to practice Wednesday, ending his indefinite suspension following an Aug. 24 arrest. Thompson faces a charge of misdemeanor domestic assault.
"As university processes have progressed relating to Bryce Thompson, we've all taken this situation very seriously," coach Jeremy Pruitt said in a statement. "I believe Bryce can grow by following the plan the university has put in place for him. As a result, I am allowing him to return to practice."
Pruitt, during his news conference Wednesday evening, declined to elaborate on what the university's plan for Thompson entails.
Pruitt did not say whether Thompson would play when Tennessee (0-2) hosts Chattanooga (1-1) (noon ET, SEC Network), but he said playing Saturday after missing two-and-a-half weeks of practice would be a challenge.
"He's been away from the team for three weeks," Pruitt said. "He's been in school here. There's still lots of things that's got to go on here with his situation, but he obviously made a mistake, but he needs to be around the football team. He's not practiced in three weeks, so he needs to practice. It's good for him.
"It's hard to play when you haven't been practicing, right? It's hard to get in shape. We've got to build up."
University of Tennessee police arrested Thompson at Stokely Hall the weekend before Tennessee's season opener.
Witnesses told police they heard Thompson, a 19-year-old sophomore, threaten to "slap the (expletive) out of" a woman with whom he's in a relationship. Witnesses also said Thompson threatened to "shoot up the school," according to an arrest report.
The woman told police the argument started after she found fake eyelashes belonging to someone else in Thompson's room.
The woman told police Thompson "has a bad temper and has punched walls during past arguments." She told police she had been dating Thompson for about four years.
Thompson denied making any threats or physical contact with the woman he argued with. He admitted, according to the arrest report, that he damaged a gate at the residence hall.
Pruitt said the decision to reinstate Thompson was made in conjunction with university officials.
"When you talk about something like this, you don't just make a decision out on your own," Pruitt said. "You have to consult with people within our university, and obviously we have."
Thompson's case is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Sept. 23 after he first appeared in Knox County General Sessions Court for arraignment Sept. 3. During that court appearance, Thompson's attorney, John Valliant, noted that the woman never directly accused Thompson of making any threats against her.
The August arrest wasn't the first time Thompson was accused of threatening a woman. A different woman who had a relationship with Thompson filed for a restraining order against him in January 2018 in Richland County, South Carolina. The woman and Thompson agreed to a one-year mutual restraining order in April 2018.
It is unclear whether Tennessee knew about the mutual restraining order when it signed Thompson as a four-star prospect in May 2018. Pruitt declined to answer that question when asked last month.
The woman who filed for a restraining order wrote in her complaint that Thompson texted her stating that if she dated another man, he "would kill both me and that other guy." She wrote that she believed Thompson's threat because "he has a history of violence against me and others. He has physically slapped me, choked me, and thrown me around. I fear for my safety, and am constantly looking over my shoulder."
Thompson is one of Tennessee's top players. He was a Freshman All-America selection last season. He played as a backup in last season's opener before joining the starting lineup in Week 2. He appeared in every game last season and made 10 starts. Thompson tallied 34 tackles and a team-high three interceptions.
Thompson, from Irmo, South Carolina, committed to South Carolina in December 2017 after decommitting from Virginia Tech the previous summer. He never signed with South Carolina and remained unsigned for months after signing day, despite being one of the state's top-ranked prospects. He became a late addition to Pruitt's first signing class.
Freshman Warren Burrell started in place of Thompson during Tennessee's first two games.

Four people were confirmed dead and three people still missing in Zion National Park on Tuesday, adding to the total of flood-related deaths in Washington County over the past two days.
The victims' bodies were discovered at the east side of Keyhole Canyon, a popular spot for hiking and canyoneering east of the main Zion Canyon, said Aly Baltrus, a chief of interpretation and visitor services at the park, in a press release.
Baltrus said rangers received a report that a group of seven individuals were canyoneering inside the canyon shortly before the flooding began late Monday.
Two unoccupied vehicles were located Monday evening and a search began Tuesday morning for the group. Continued rain and flash flood warnings were still in effect, hampering searchers' ability to access the more technical portions of the canyon, Baltrus said.
The National Weather Service issued another flash flood warning for the area that lasted through 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
Names of those involved were not being released, pending notification of family. Park officials did say the bodies found were those of three men and one woman.
Park spokeswoman Holly Baker told the Associated Press the group included four men and three women who had set off into the canyon before it was officially closed because of flood warnings. The group hailed from California and Nevada and were all in their 40s and 50s, she said.
The first body was found at about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, with a second body found an hour later. The third and fourth bodies were discovered later in the day.
A permit is required to travel through Keyhole Canyon, and individuals must complete several short rappels and swim through several pools of water to make it through.
Park rangers advised the group that the weather was poor and flooding was likely when they picked up their permit on Monday, Baker said.
Until canyons are closed, rangers leave it up to visitors to decide whether to venture in, she said.
The canyon was closed at about 5 p.m. on Monday.
The Zion incident adds to the death toll in what has been a tragic two days of flooding in eastern Washington County.
At least 12 others, mostly children, were killed in flooding in nearby Hildale, a town south of the park. Two vehicles carrying 16 people were swept into a flood channel late Monday. Three people were saved, and one remained missing as of late Tuesday.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said Tuesday he mourned the lives lost in Zion and in the border towns.
"Today's tragedy also serves as a reminder to residents and those visiting our state to take appropriate precautions and be aware of the factors that contribute to dangerous flash floods," Herbert said in a statement.

Below you will find a link to all of the worksheet sets in the "mixed practice" category. The purpose of these worksheets is to supplement standard textbooks, which tend to focus on one subject at a time, with the unintended consequence that subjects which haven't been mentioned in a few weeks get forgotten.
These worksheets can be used regularly in your classroom (maybe one per week, as your students progress through the course), or as an occasional supplement when you recognize that there is a topic or two that your students need more practice on. Most of the worksheets have a "focus" - that is, one subject that appears as a larger percentage of the content. Two or three other topics will appear as well. For example, worksheet 6.1 has a primary focus of factoring difference of squares/perfect squares quadratics, but the worksheet also contains LCM, GCF, fraction manipulation, and word problems.
Care has been taken to follow a fairly standard scope and sequence, so review materials truly are review. In some cases, where sequence varies from curriculum to curriculum, we avoid including some items in the "review" part of the worksheets. For example, some curricula do quadratic equations before systems of equations, and some reverse that order. Thus, while there are worksheets that focus on quadratics, and worksheets that focus on systems, neither topic appears in the review section of the other topic's worksheets.
On this page, only the main focus of the worksheet is listed; click the link to see a more detailed overview of each worksheet.

Tibet and Sports
International Society of limited symbolic protests, but … role in preparing for the Games. Government actively thinking — how to respond to the bloody oppression of another uprising in Tibet, ride or not to go to Beijing, but can be turned out at once — do not seem to provoke smb. 'S wrath massive economic partner. Some favorite offer to abandon the role at least in the ceremony of the Olympics. The problem of athletes are unwittingly involved in controversy, which raises their sense of swing work and effort. Obviously, they are against violence in Tibet and generally against human rights violations in the world, but on the other hand, they are not for four years, worked on the form, so at the moment to abandon the role in this sport because of all prazdnichkom only restore an old phenomenon , what happened before and what everyone has long known.
International Olympic Committee considers that the Olympics be apolitical, that this is just sport prazdnichek, but probably it is just a sport? The Charter of the International Olympic Committee, said that "the Olympic movement puts himself ahead goal to sport promoted harmonious development of man, promoted peace between peoples and respect for human rights." "No matter what form of discrimination against a country or person because of race, profession, political affiliation, gender, or any other reason contradicts belonging to the Olympic Movement."
Father of the modern Olympic movement Baron Pierre de Kuberten was vospitannitsam Jesuit College of St. Ignatius and very soulful man. It worked very Jesuit methods of training. Jesuits were committed educators. They knew the psyche of youth and school education appropriated form of competition: for the highest marks in science and gymnastics for the honor to serve in the Holy Mass, and even for the best seat at the table. "Zeal for perfection, to overcome his helplessness, to, to be smarter and better, it is a goal to which should strive each person. Sport helps to fulfill these ideas, "- says another Kubertena, Dominican Henri de Didon (Henri de Didon) He's more than 100 years ago at the first Olympic Congress in Paris proposed motto" Citius, altius, fortius "(sport, Higher, Stronger") .
Kuberten Dido and beheld in the sport more than just competition. Olympic movement meant for their humanitarian universal system of education through sports. "Overcome himself gives the greatest happiness. Principled in life is not only a victory, but the struggle. Main thing is not to win, but to be able to lead a knightly combat. This idea of our movement," — says Pierre de Kuberten. He wished that the idea of Olympism was generous and of net, that sport has joined voedinyzhdy people helped to overcome various barriers and bias. Both of them — Kuberten and Dido — believed that sport — the universal language of human relationships that he develops the spirit of brotherhood and harmony, is a response to the violence in the world today.
The right to organize the Olympic Games, China received 13 July 2001. Even then, it is no secret was, as China behaves Falun Gong against, Uighurs and Tibetans. World knew that the communist regime with the capitalist economy for decades brutally violate human rights, restrict freedom of expression, imprisons political opponents. It's not a secret that China has done more in the death penalty, there is a trade of human organs. But the International Olympic Committee to the Chinese authorities believe that Beijing will justify the trust placed in him. IOC hopes that the Olympic idea itself Olympics with inflated attention around the world to her country pravozhannya become automatic incentive for democratization of China, its openness to the world. Seven years ago, China promised that the situation of human Rights will Fixed that a country withmakes all likely to become worthy to host the Olympics.
Now, four months before the Olympics, it is clear that neither the 1st of China to its own promises not fulfilled.
Making a decision about the Olympics in China, the Olympic Committee leaders themselves have changed Kubertena standards. Im sorry incurred costs and the profits that they are going to get. By the way, and millions of fans could be disappointed with the breakdown of the Olympics. Everyone expects from their own athletes possible best results and medals. Not once the athlete is not sovladevaet with this pressure and requirements for yourself. Both he and his sponsors are trying to achieve of success at any cost. Hence doping scandals, corruption. Thought of pure competition policy spoiled and commerce. Athletes who resell for multimillion amounts between a rich clubs, often not realizing or not thinking became commonplace product. Fascinated by the glory and splendor medal athlete closes his eyes to the fact that it later and enthusiasm also means trusting fans well fed clouds officials, managers, coaches and commentators. Sport turned into a branch of the economy comparable to the protection and health care.
Tibet from it anachronistic religious-monastic civilization obviously not lucky that almost 60 years ago under compulsion he was attached to the One of the most massive world. Nobody would never bombard China due to Tibetans once Yugoslavia protecting the Kosovars. Tibetans led by the Dalai Lam know that independence — is a fantasy. They are willing to be satisfied with the status of people of the lowest category, autonomy within China with their way of life and freedom of religion, but require a minimum of cultural genocide and finish the process of denationalization. Regular uprising role monks who in accordance with their own religion will go faster with self-immolation than to throw a stone at someone, it is proof that this friendly people driven to despair.
I think that there is unanimity, international solidarity with Tibet does not work, they do not completely failed boycott the Olympics capital. Sober, politically and economic calculation and now prevail over the temporary surge of feelings and solidarity with the aggrieved. China behaves cheekily knowing about it and aware of its power. Let Belarusian opposition they say that the hard crackdown — it is confirmation of helplessness of the authorities, but I believe that the bounce is just a confirmation of strength. Weakness could be concessions and willingness to negotiate. However, the gesture of Steven Spielberg, who turned down the role in the preparation of the stunning media event in Beijing, found support from many artists and intellectuals, but many politicians, businessmen and the International Olympic Committee will close their eyes to Tibet. They — as expected — will accept a statement, a resolution will express their "resistance", "regret", "anger", but still, the opening or the continuation trample Olympics in Beijing. English Olympic Committee general rebuked athletes and leaders to speak out on human rights in China. Who would not sign the declaration of silence, then do not go to the Olympics, and who have something to utter a word during the game, will be sent home.
Here's what came out of bombastic slogans of the Olympic movement. It would be more correct in general not to mention them.
