4. Combination use of biologic drugs and methotrexate: Humira (Abbott) and Enbrel (Wyeth)
5. $16,000-18,000 is not expensive, if you consider the cost of disability, disease, and quality of life
6. Physicians need to refer early so patients can start treatment early
7. Fish oil and exercise are encouraged
Information regarding Rheumatoid Arthritis from Johns Hopkins.
Note to MSers: You CANNOT use the biologic drugs in fighting RA due to increased occurrence of demyelinating diseases seen.
Living Better With Rheumatoid Arthritis
By JANE E. BRODY
Alan Moore was 52 years old, teaching statistics at the University of Wyoming, playing the violin in the university's symphony and accompanying soloists on the piano when his health took a nosedive in April 2001.
"I felt like I had the flu," Mr. Moore recalled in an interview last month. "I was very weak and fatigued. I had extreme pain and swelling in a lot of my joints. I was in agony when I got up in the morning, so stiff I had to shuffle to the bathroom. I couldn't peel a banana, turn the key in the ignition or even pull the tab of a tea bag. My wife, Cindy, had to help me with the simplest of tasks. Needless to say, I couldn't play the violin or piano or use the computer."
Doctors diagnosed it as rheumatoid arthritis.
"And I thought that my life as I knew it was over," said Mr. Moore, now 59, of Laramie, Wyo.
But by enrolling in a clinical trial of one of the drugs and drug combinations that are revolutionizing the treatment of the disease, Mr. Moore got his life back.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the world's most common autoimmune disease, striking up to 1 in 100 in the course of a lifetime. It is most often diagnosed in people ages 30 to 60 but it can occur at any time, including childhood.
As with other autoimmune diseases, women are three to four times likelier than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis. About 80 percent of Caucasians with the disease have a genetic marker, a gene sequence in the HLA-D region of chromosome 6 that is found in only about 35 percent of the general population.
The disease causes chronic joint inflammation and progressive destruction of the cartilage at the ends of bones, which can result in an inability to use the affected joints. Other effects include fatigue, malaise, anemia and damage to organs throughout the body, including the cardiovascular system.
Untreated, 20 to 30 percent of people become permanently disabled within three to five years of diagnosis. Life expectancy may be reduced by as much as 15 years, with half of patients succumbing to cardiovascular disease.
A Therapeutic Revolution
Doctors traditionally treated the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, usually with anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications. But the underlying destruction of tissues continued, leading to chronic disability and premature death.
The goal today is suppression of the disease and prevention of progressive joint destruction by treating patients early with synthetic or biologic agents called disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
Though he did not know it at the time, Mr. Moore was randomly assigned to the study group that every two weeks self-injected a biologically derived drug called Humira, which acts to block a protein involved in the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Humira is one of six federally approved biologic treatments for the disease. Three other biologic remedies are nearing approval by the Food and Drug Administration.
"Within days my symptoms declined to nearly zero," Mr. Moore said, "and I've had no symptoms since." He has continued the injections of Humira and participates in a registry of patients to help assess the drug's long-term benefits and potential risks.
Combining Treatments
The costly biologic drugs are often used in combination with much cheaper synthetic disease-modifying drugs taken orally, like methotrexate. In some cases, oral medications are all that patients need to keep symptoms and joint destruction under control.
But well-designed clinical trials have typically shown that in patients facing moderate to severe disease, combining the treatments often results in fewer symptoms and less destruction of joints, especially if therapy begins early.
In a study published July 16 in The Lancet, researchers in Leeds, England, reported that among 542 patients randomly assigned to receive either methotrexate alone or in combination with Enbrel, another biologic agent, those receiving the combination were almost twice as likely to become symptom free and more likely to show no X-ray signs of progressive joint destruction a year later.
In a commentary with the Lancet report, Dr. Joel M. Kremer, a rheumatologist at Albany Medical College, said it was important to consider the long-term consequences and costs of the disease when deciding how much to spend on therapy.
"Most of the biologic agents cost in the range of $16,000 to $18,000 a year, whereas the oral medications cost only about a tenth that," Dr. Kremer said in an interview.
But, he added, inadequately treated rheumatoid arthritis typically leads to a need for multiple joint replacements, lost productivity, lost tax revenue and a greatly diminished quality of life, as well as an increased risk of life-threatening infections and cardiovascular disease.
"Most patients diagnosed at age 45 will be disabled in five or six years," Dr. Kremer said. "You have to consider what it costs to fix a bridge against what it will cost when the bridge collapses."
Before the use of disease-modifying drugs, direct medical costs from rheumatoid arthritis were estimated at $5.5 billion, and that did not include the indirect costs of lost wages and productivity, the need for custodial care and the emotional and social consequences of chronic disability.
A Tailored Approach
While not everyone with rheumatoid arthritis responds to the new treatments as vividly as Mr. Moore did, many large studies have shown there is no longer any reason for pessimism about the diagnosis. But it is vitally important to begin treatment early.
The recent therapeutic developments, Dr. Kremer said, mean doctors in general practice need to remain alert to symptoms of the disease in its early stages and quickly refer patients to rheumatologists who can confirm the diagnosis and prescribe up-to-date treatment before irreparable damage to joints occurs. Treatment is most effective if begun within one year after symptoms appear.
There is no one treatment approach that works for everyone. Rather, studies have indicated that treatment should be tailored to individual patients: the nature and extent of their disease, their other health issues and how they respond to various therapies.
Dr. Kremer said many patients could be started on a single, low-cost drug like methotrexate, as long as their condition was closely monitored and the treatment adjusted if there are signs of progressive disease.
Regular exercise and physical and occupational therapy, along with medication, can help patients maintain function. In addition to antirheumatic drugs to reduce inflammation, Dr. Kremer recommends fish oil at a daily dose of 2 grams of EPA and DHA — about six capsules as they are currently formulated.

Hi Lisa--
It was good to open up your blog and read about RA--suprised me, but I appreciated it. I haven't gotten into reading blogs about RA like I am with MS. Probably because I feel I have so much to learn with MS---That's not to say I don't need to learn more about RA as well, but I haven't ventured into that as much.
For anyone else struggling with RA as well as MS, the drugs that were identified that I could use were Orencia and Rituxan. Before those two I had been on Enbrel and then Remicade. Then was diagnosed with MS. The million dollar question is did one on those drugs cause ( or as I look at it open the lock) for MS. Just one more thing to add to my list of unknowns.
I was very interested in the amount of fish oil he said to take. I will go look at my bottle, but I think I'm quite short I only take 2 capsules?
How many others are out there dealing with RA & MS??
Lisa Emrich August 13, 2008 at 12:21 AM
Hi Gretchen,
Yeah, I don't take that much fish oil either. It usually makes my stomach hurt just a little. But I really should try to incorporate more.
I hesitate to talk about the RA too much because I kinda feel on the outside, looking in, not being able to try or discuss the RA drugs.
I simply use methotrexate (25mg, once/week) and sulfasalazine (1000mg-1500mg daily), plus folic acid to protect myself from the methotrexate. I also tried plaquenil, but REALLY didn't like it at all.
BTW, I know that Anne of Disabled Not Dead has both MS and RA. I think there was somebody besides us, but I can't think of who that is right now.
PS. Did you notice the new Health Central stuff? Maybe I'll be able to talk a little about RA with MS.
I'm so glad you stopped by.

Q: How to re-size the client area when double buffering? Given I implement double buffering in GDI:
static HDC hdc;
static HDC backDC;
static HBITMAP backBuffer;
static HGDIOBJ oldBitmap;
static RECT client;

case WM_CREATE:
     hdc=GetDC(hWnd);
    GetClientRect(hWnd, &client);
    backDC=CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
    backBuffer=CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdc,client.right,client.bottom);
    oldBitmap=SelectObject(backDC,backBuffer);
    ReleaseDC(hWnd,hdc);

case WM_PAINT:

Rectangle(backDC, 0, 0,client.right,client.bottom); // displays rectangle the
 size of client to draw on it
      hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
      BitBlt(hdc,0,0,client.right,client.bottom,backDC,0,0,SRCCOPY);
    // TODO: Add any drawing code here...
       EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);

How do I handle the resize ? One thing I have tried to do is
case WM_SIZE:
client.right=LOWORD(lParam);
client.bottom=HIWORD(lParam);
    SendMessage(hWnd,WM_CREATE,NULL,NULL);

What it does is, once I get resize message with new client coordinates it sends message to WM_CREATE and it actually works.... HOWEVER ! It creates massive leak, because I basically create a new bitmap every time without destroying it. Can someone tell me if there is a better way to do it ? Thx

A: Keeping the backbuffer around is an optimization that's not always needed.  You can create it in the WM_PAINT handler (to the size of GetClientRect), paint to it, blit from it to the actual window DC, and clean up.  No leaks.  No distribution of functionality among all the message handlers.  No global variables.  Nice and clean.
If you do want to keep one around, I make a class.  Constructor takes the size.  Destructor cleans up everything.  On WM_SIZE, construct a new one as a local stack variable, swap with the old one, and let destructor for the temp stack one clean up.

A: I would recommend making the back buffer a fixed size (typically, the size of the screen), and then using StretchBlt (or StretchDIBits if you're using DIBs) to render it in the proper size on the display surface.
That way, you never have to worry about reallocating the back buffer.

Larry "L.A." Johnson, a documentary filmmaker who worked closely with Neil Young for four decades after meeting the Canadian rocker at Woodstock while working on the concert film about the 1969 rock festival, died Thursday at his home in Redwood City, Calif. He was 62.
Johnson died unexpectedly, and the cause of death was not known, according to a spokeswoman for Young.
Johnson earned an Academy Award nomination for his sound editing work on Michael Wadleigh's ground-breaking 1970 film documenting "three days of peace and music" at Woodstock, where Young had played with rock's then-new supergroup of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
"He never lost the eye and ear of an original artist, one unafraid to listen to himself first," Young said in a statement. "Even more, he also kept his playful spirit and sense of humor, the things that sparked his heart for a lifetime spent doing what he loved best: listening to music and making movies."
In many respects the Grammy-nominated "Archives" release, for which Johnson is credited as producer, was the culmination of his shared interest with Young in combining the visceral energy and improvisational facets of rock music with the visual realism of film. That project, some 20 years in the making, was an innovative retrospective of the earliest years in Young's life. For the Blu-ray edition, Young, Johnson and their team came up with a new platform for the organization and dissemination of historical materials, including audio and video recordings, film, print documents and photographs in a way that can be continually expanded by way of Internet downloads.
Just before its release, Johnson took part in a media preview in April at a West Hollywood hotel to demonstrate its many innovative aspects. "Our motto has always been: 'Quality -- whether you want it or not,' " Johnson said.
A key member of Young's Shakey Pictures film production company, Johnson served as producer, director, editor and in other capacities. Among the projects he was involved in: "Rust Never Sleeps" (1979); "Human Highway" (1982); Jim Jarmusch's "Year of the Horse (1997); "Silver and Gold" (2000); "Greendale" (2003); and most recently, Jonathan Demme's "Neil Young's Trunk Show" (2009).
Johnson also produced Joni Mitchell's 1980 venture into cinema, "Shadows and Light," was a line producer on Martin Scorsese's acclaimed document of the Band's 1976 farewell concert, "The Last Waltz" and a sound recordist on the 1978 Bob Dylan film "Renaldo and Clara."
Larry Alderman Johnson was born June 11, 1947, in Ft. Benning, Ga., into a military family that moved frequently, which he believed prepared him well for his life as a filmmaker specializing in rock 'n' roll.
He attended Peekskill Military Academy in New York and Rutgers University in New Jersey, and early on became a fan of such East Coast filmmakers as Scorsese and Brian DePalma. Johnson often sought to inject his own work with a street-wise political sensibility.
At the time of his death, he was working on "LincVolt," the chronicle of Young's project converting a gas-guzzling 1959 Lincoln Continental into a zero-emission electric vehicle of the future.
Johnson also worked over the last 24 years overseeing video production elements and helping with fundraising for Young's annual benefit concerts for the Bridge School in Hillsborough, near San Francisco, a facility that serves severely disabled children and their families.
He is survived by children Ben and Hannah Johnson from his marriage to music contractor Leslie Morris, whom he married and divorced twice.

The Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS) is a metadata standard for encoding descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata regarding objects within a digital library, expressed using the XML schema language of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standard is maintained as part of the MARC standards of the Library of Congress, and is being developed as an initiative of the Digital Library Federation (DLF).

Overview
METS is an XML Schema designed for the purpose of:
 Creating XML document instances that express the hierarchical structure of digital library objects.
 Recording the names and locations of the files that comprise those objects.
 Recording associated metadata. METS can, therefore, be used as a tool for modeling real world objects, such as particular document types.

Depending on its use, a METS document could be used in the role of Submission Information Package (SIP), Archival Information Package (AIP), or Dissemination Information Package (DIP) within the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model.

Digital libraries vs traditional libraries
Maintaining a library of digital objects requires maintaining metadata about those objects. The metadata necessary for successful management and use of digital objects is both more extensive than and different from the metadata used for managing collections of printed works and other physical materials. METS is intended to promote the preservation of, and interoperability between digital libraries.
 Where a traditional library may record descriptive metadata regarding a book in its collection, the book will not dissolve into a series of unconnected pages if the library fails to record structural metadata regarding the book's organization, nor will scholars be unable to evaluate the book's worth if the library fails to note, for example, that the book was produced using a Ryobi offset press.
 The same cannot be said for a digital library. Without structural metadata, the page image or text files comprising the digital work are of little use, and without technical metadata regarding the digitization process, scholars may be unsure of how accurate a reflection of the original the digital version provides.
 However, in a digital library it is possible to create an eBook-like PDF file or TIFF file which can be seen as a single physical book and reflect the integrity of the original.

Flexibility and interoperability
The open flexibility of METS means that there is not a prescribed vocabulary which allows many different types of institutions, with many different document types, to utilize METS. The customization of METS makes it highly functional internally, but creates limitations for interoperability. Interoperability becomes difficult when the exporting and importing institutions have used vocabularies. As a workaround for this problem the creation of institutional profiles has become popular. These profiles document the implementation of METS specific to that institution helping to map content in order for exchanged METS documents to be more usable across institutions.

History
As early as 1996 the University of California, Berkeley began working toward the development of a system that combined encoding for an outline of a digital object's structure with metadata for that object. In 1998 this work was expanded upon by the Making of America II project (MoAII). An important objective of this project was the creation of a standard for digital objects that would include defined metadata for the descriptive, administrative, and structural aspects of a digital object. A type of structural and metadata encoding system using an XML Document Type Definition (DTD) was the result of these efforts. The MoAII DTD was limited in that it did not provide flexibility in which metadata terms could be used for the elements in the descriptive, administrative, and structural metadata portions of the object. In 2001, a new version of the DTD was developed that used namespaces separate from the system rather than the vocabulary of the previous DTD. This revision was the foundation for the current METS schema, officially named in April of that year.

The 7 sections of a METS document

 METS header metsHdr: the METS document itself, such as its creator, editor, etc.
 Descriptive Metadata dmdSec: May contain internally embedded metadata or point to metadata external to the METS document. Multiple instances of both internal and external descriptive metadata may be included.
 Administrative Metadata amdSec: Provides information regarding how files were created and stored, intellectual property rights, metadata regarding the original source object from which the digital library object derives, and information regarding the provenance of files comprising the digital library object (such as master/derivative relationships, migrations, and transformations). As with descriptive metadata, administrative metadata may be internally encoded or external to the METS document.
 File Section fileSec: Lists all files containing content which comprise the electronic versions of the digital object. file elements may be grouped within fileGrp elements to subdivide files by object version. Although this section is not required, it is typically included in most METS documents as it adds a level of functionality to the structure of the document.
 Structural Map structMap: Outlines a hierarchical structure for the digital library object, and links the elements of that structure to associated content files and metadata. The Structural Map is the only section required for all METS documents.
 Structural Links structLink: Allows METS creators to record the existence of hyperlinks between nodes in the Structural Map. This is of particular value in using METS to archive Websites.
 Behavioral behaviorSec: Used to associate executable behaviors with content in the METS object. Each behavior has a mechanism element identifying a module of executable code that implements behaviors defined abstractly by its interface definition.

Our first performance in Rottweil took place in March of 2002. I still remember the first moment I set on eyes on Hansjörg with his multi-colored bright shirts and warmly cheerful personality full of light and bright energy! He made quite an impression!!! Little did I know what a good friend and musical ally he would become. This concert recording took place in December of 2003. The holiday sesaon was in the air. The Christmas market was in full display in the center of the town. The energy in the club was bolsterous and vibrant. This was a special moment and I am glad we were able to record it and capture it on this CD. Thanks Hansjörg. Thanks Rottweil!


If you're given some kind of works template Excel workbook, and you've got to populate this works template manually with information, and do this a number of times, you might be thinking, is there a better (easier/lazier) way. And with Excel and Microsoft VBA, of course there is!
The idea of the Macro detailed here, is that we have a Master Sheet which we populate with information required for our work. Then we run a Macro which prompts for which row of information we want to use to populate some kind of works template Excel workbook, and - hey presto - this filled in works template is created. And we can create this filled in template any number of times using our Macro.

Ceva partners with Biotecon Diagnostics to introduce a real-time test kit to fight growing problem of salmonella on pig farms
The new diagnostic kit developed Biotecon Diagnostics in co-operation with Ceva
A new real-time diagnostic kit that will help pig producers fight salmonella infections on their farms has been launched at the SafePork scientific symposium in Berlin.
Tuesday 10 September 2019 (4 months 8 days ago)
It has been developed and produced by Biotecon Diagnostics in co-operation with Ceva – the multinational veterinary biopharmaceutical company. The highly-sensitive test, using DNA, will detect and differentiate accurately between the vaccine strains and field strains of Salmonella Typhimurium (STM), the most important enzootic salmonella. It will complement company's Salmoporc vaccine, which is widely used in many European countries.
If salmonella is found on a farm by established methods, differentiation can be carried out on any substrate without the need for time-consuming cultural detection tests. Results can be achieved overnight or within 24 hours compared with five days for existing tests. The test is safe and reliable, without false-negatives.
"Vaccination is the only way to reduce Salmonella typhimurium sustainably to reduce the spill-over to abattoirs and the food chain. If STM is found on a farm where vaccine is used then the pig farmer needs to know if it is the vaccine strain, which is of no concern, or the field strain, which is of considerable concern," commented Dr Rike Schmelz, veterinarian and salmonella specialist, with Ceva.
To test for salmonella, samples will be taken by a unit's vet from pigs and the environment at several locations. Salmonella can be found on 80-100 per cent of pig farms in most countries.
"The reduction of salmonella prevalence on a farm through vaccination will also lessen the impact of antibiotic use," pointed out Dr Schmelz. "Ceva has an on-going commitment to protect the future of antibiotics by providing swine veterinarians with practical tools and services, which allow them to promote better preventative health. Vaccination will help prevent a further increase in multi-drug resistant salmonella."
Additional information on vaccination and the new diagnostic method can be found at www.stop-salmonella.com

Salmonella vaccine now available to UK and Irish pig producers 13-Nov-2019 (2 months 5 days ago)

Q: Prove / disprove if $\lim((a_{n})^2+ (b_{n})^2)=0$ then $\lim(a_{n})=0$ and $\lim(b_{n})=0$ Prove / disprove:
Let $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$ be real sequences, if $\lim((a_{n})^2+ (b_{n})^2)=0$ then $\lim(a_{n})=0$ and $\lim(b_{n})=0$

A: Hint:   $0 \le a_n^2 \le a_n^2+b_n^2\,$, so $\,a_n^2 \to 0\,$ by the squeeze theorem.

A: Suppose $a_n$ does not go to 0. Then there exists an $\epsilon>0$ such that $|a_n|>\epsilon$ for infinitely many $n$. This implies $a_n^2>\epsilon^2>0$ for infinitely many $n$. Since $a_n^2+b_n^2\geq a_n^2$, this implies $\lim (a_n^2+b_n^2)\geq \epsilon^2>0$, which implies that the original limit could not possibly be 0.

A: Since $$|a_n^2+b_n^2|<\epsilon^2$$so is $$|a_n^2|\le |a_n^2+b_n^2|<\epsilon^2$$


Should you buy a Mercedes-Benz S550 today? "Yes." It's a totally new luxury sedan that delivers a lot more car for less money than its predecessor.
Now in its ninth generation, the S-Class is a leap forward in all aspects. Competition and a less reliable previous edition forced the three-pointed star manufacturer to deliver a strong contender for the top of its class. Start with a sharp design emphasizing a muscular stance above and beyond a simple luxury ride. Add to it a compilation of beautifully handcrafted materials inside and perhaps a more austere dashboard than expected. Then throw in all the passive and active safety systems you could imagine and a satisfying high-performance powerplant, and it might be difficult to assign any other grade than the top one.
It is often said that less is more, and that's exactly what Mercedes' new COMAND (Cockpit Management and Data) System strives to accomplish. Featuring a mouse-like input device and LCD multi-purpose screen, the system has a learning curve but definitely becomes more user-friendly over time. The device controls everything on the car from navigation to the seat massagers. COMAND also frees the dash of the countless buttons indicative of such a technologically complex car, contributing to its artful design with glossy wood and aluminum knobs. In a way it reminds us of the Grand Mercedes-Benz 600 of the 1970s enjoyed by so many VIPs and heads of state.
Once inside, get the seat to the desired temperature, find the massage feature, switch on the capable 600-watt Harman/Kardon Logic 7 Infotainment PC-card sound system, set the smart Distronic Plus cruise control and drive safely into the sunset with the aid of the optional Night View Assist infrared system. For those concerned with ayurvedic health practices that discourage contact with cold air, S-Class engineers designed the massaging heated and cooled seats to provide room temperature circulation rather than simply blowing frigid air conditioning at your posterior. These same seats are also manufactured from environmentally friendly materials.
Mercedes-Benz is trying to please rich performance demons with the S600, which features a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12. If that doesn't satisfy your insatiable lust for thrust, and you have patience and lots of extra cash to burn, wait for the release of the $180,000 S65 AMG, which churns out more than 600 horsepower. Those who need additional traction can order an S with 4Matic all-wheel drive. Our tester came with the standard Airmatic suspension with dual modes: Comfort and Sport. We expect most of the driving to be accomplished in the former mode, though.
With all of these ingenious attributes and sumptuous luxury features, you might never want to get out of this car. The only reason we did is that it wasn't ours to keep.
The S-Class is nothing short of revolutionary. Click here to learn more about its technological advancements.


When Westech first started working with the BC Health Authorities, the key to future success rested in identifying and creating a first class cleaning auditing standard directly related to the cleaning outcomes at the different facilities across British Columbia.
After developing these cleaning auditing standards for our client, Westech performed audits at each of the province's hospitals. Our auditing staff were able to find frequently touched surfaces, the root cause of bacteria and germs leading to the spread of infection, that were being missed in regular cleans.
Once these problem spots had been identified, Westech then offered extensive reporting that clearly communicated to hospital and cleaning staff the areas that were being overlooked.
From 2005 to the present Westech has continued auditing all the BC Hospitals on a continual basis. Through detailed web based corrective action reports and our auditor certification program we have been able to help the BC hospitals see significant measurable improvements in the overall cleaning outcomes.
Specifically, over nine years since Westech started auditing BC hospitals the failure rate diminished from 26% to less than 2%. Today these hospitals and health care facilities are safer and cleaner with a greatly lower chance for infection to spread.
With such a dramatic improvement in the cleanliness levels of BC hospitals, the Westech team hopes to bring this success story across the country and play an important part in making Canadian health care facilities more sanitary for everyone.
Westech cleaning audits and systems are helping reduce bacteria and germs, thus the spread of infection and provide healthier and more positive environments for patients and staff. Your organization could be next.

Taraba Killings: Leaked Memo Creates More Rift Between Army, Police
A leaked memo from the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Tukur Buratai directing soldiers to henceforth be circumspect in their dealings with the police over the Taraba incident might have deepened disaffection within the military and security forces, The Nation has learned.
Buratai, in a memo, signed on his behalf by Brig. Gen. Felix Omoigui, directed all troops on IS (Internal Security) duty as well as personnel traveling in and out of uniform to be circumspect in their conduct to avoid escalation of the problem.
"Consequently, formations and unit commanders are to educate troops to be cautious in their dealings with members of the NP in view of this development. Troops traveling on the pass are to endeavor to do so in mufti," the memo dated 9th August which was reportedly dispatched to different army formations across the country stated.
But a source confirmed the said memo was leaked to the media by the Police to create tension within the security circles and continue to put the army on the defensive over the matter.
The source said unless the Presidency steps up efforts to douse tension and acrimony created by the Taraba incident, the two security institutions would henceforth be working at cross purposes, a development that would render the works of the investigative panels "as dead on arrival".
Already the Defence Headquarters have set up a joint investigative panel headed by Rear Admiral I T Olaiya and has a representative each from the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, the Nigerian Police, the Department of State Security (DSS) and Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu also set up a probe panel headed by an Assistant Inspector General of Police to unravel the circumstances surrounding the killings of the three police detectives by troops of 93 Battalion, Takum.
Even though the Nigerian Army, through its spokesman, Col. Sagir Musa, said the killings were in error, a response from the police spokesman, Frank Mba raising fresh posers for the Army on circumstances surrounding the incident and the escape of a suspected kidnapper, Alhaji Hamisu Bala Wadume, immediately put the Army on the defensive.
The impression was thus created that the killings of the police undercover agents were deliberate.
The Army authorities have since refused to answer inquiries on the matter, insisting that there was no need to give further clarifications on the issues raised by the Police Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba.
However, fearing that the heightened tensions between the two security agencies may degenerate further, the army said in the leaked memo that its officer must be careful in their encounters with men and officers of the Nigerian police.
However, a security source maintained that the damage has already being done considering the way and manner the Police have been taking the matter.
The source expressed worry that the development would not only create a gap in joint operations but would deepen disaffection and suspicion within the ranks and file of the security institutions notwithstanding the outcome of the investigative panels from both sides.
The source advised that the Presidency could yet prevent further damage and acrimony by setting up a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the matter and enjoin the leadership of the Army and the Police to view the issues from a more matured perspective order than the panic measures being adopted in the military and security circles.

Ben Garrison (* 1957) ist ein US-amerikanischer Karikaturist aus Montana, dessen Karikaturen politische Korruption und verschiedene Verschwörungstheorien in den USA zum Gegenstand haben. Er war das Ziel einer so genannten Trolling-Kampagne von Teilnehmern des Imageboards 4chan[wp], die den Zweck gehabt hatte, Garrison als Sympathisanten der Nazis darzustellen.

Zitat: «
An original Ben Garrison cartoon on the left, and an anti-semitic remix created by trolls on the right. (2009)[3]
Ben Garrison is a polite, accomplished cartoonist, with no history of overt or covert racism. His true political leanings are libertarian, anti-elitist, and anti-globalist.
Garrison is, in fact, the victim of one the most extraordinary and longest-running smear campaigns on the internet.
For a mixture of amusement and spite, in a trolling spree that has lasted over six years, thousands of online pranksters and real neo-Nazis have been remixing his cartoons into racist caricatures. Most Ben Garrison cartoons attack the government, corporations, and political movements.
However, almost immediately after one is published, it is remixed into a new version that attacks Jews, African-Americans, or other minorities. These are rapidly disseminated in troll communities and sometimes become more widely-shared than the originals. Like the bandit gang in The Magnificent Seven, who perpetually raid the same town for food and supplies, Ben Garrison's trolls keep coming back for more.
But Garrison has more to worry about than just remixed comics. The trolls are more dedicated to their craft than that.»[3]

↑ Unfortunately, too many of these young people are also upset about ridiculous things. They are part of a hypersensitive, hyper-politically correct group known as 'Social Justice Warriors'. A few years ago when I first heard the term 'Social Justice Warrior', I wasn't sure what it meant. I thought SJWs were doing some kind of noble, laudable work. I pictured them as volunteers at food banks. Maybe they were trying to help senior citizens get the prescription medicine they couldn't afford. I pictured them trying to help the downtrodden in society. Instead, SJWs epitomize political correctness gone amuck. They are incredibly thin-skinned. They browbeat and scold others into giving up freedom of speech or expression. Want to wear a Halloween costume? You'd better check with the campus commissar of political correctness first. (Yes, the protesters want some sort of official on campus who will determine what can and cannot be said or done). Don't want to date a tranny? What a hateful person you are! Now we hear terms such as 'micro-agression' which can mean a tone of voice or expression that might cause slight discomfort to the recipient. Micro-transgressors are vilified, shamed and screamed at. Slights don't even have to be real - they only need be imagined. Political correctness has now become a form of mass insanity. Do you still say 'Merry Christmas'? Watch out! Did you accidentally call a man from China a 'Chinaman'? OMG - look out for the pearl clutchers - you're a horrible human being who needs to be shunned! It doesnt' matter if the man from China was offended or not. He probably wasn't. After all, he's a man and he came from China. What matters is YOU said the WRONG thing. During the Spanish Inquisition, people who said wrong things were labeled 'heretics'. A heretic was seen as someone who was contaminated with erroneous thinking. A heretic was going to go Hell. A heretic could be tortured because such a person had lost a connection with the omniscient church. Now that word is 'racist'. A racist can be scolded, driven out of jobs or forced to make a blubbering apology because they are no longer seen as connected with humanity. It doesn't matter if the person is actually racist or not... all that needs to happen is for a SJW to perceive or imagine such a heinous transgression. It's not only insanity, it can be amusing at times. The liberal scolds are now themselves being scolded by the generation they mollycoddled. Please, SJWs, if you really want to do something useful, hold a mass protest calling for the end of the Federal Reserve. You'd be doing all races a favor. It's also time to END the tyranny of 'political correctness'. Special thanks to John M., whose ideas helped in the creation of this cartoon. - Ben Garrison

Effects of theophylline on diaphragmatic strength and fatigue in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
N Engl J Med. 1984 Aug 9;311(6):349-53. doi: 10.1056/NEJM198408093110601.
D Murciano, M Aubier, Y Lecocguic, R Pariente
We studied the effects of theophylline on diaphragmatic strength and fatigue in 15 patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diaphragmatic strength was assessed by measurement of the transdiaphragmatic pressure generated at functional residual capacity during a maximal inspiratory effort against closed airways. Diaphragmatic fatigue was induced by resistive loaded breathing. The electrical activity of the diaphragm was recorded with an esophageal electrode during the fatigue runs, and the high-low ratio of the electrical signal was analyzed to assess diaphragmatic fatigue. Studies were performed before and after 7 and 30 days of theophylline administration (mean plasma level, 13 +/- 2 mg per liter). A control group received a placebo instead of theophylline. Theophylline increased maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure by 16 per cent after 7 days of administration (P less than 0.01), and this increase persisted after 30 days. No significant change in maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure was observed in the group given the placebo. Theophylline also suppressed diaphragmatic fatigue in all patients who received it. We conclude that theophylline has a potent and long-lasting effect on diaphragmatic strength and fatigue in patients with fixed airway obstruction.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – A number of glitches with state exams still remain as testing dates approach, Lee County School District information technology experts said Thursday.
The Lee County School District issued a mock version of the Florida Standards Assessment, a state exam that is aligned with Common Core standards. The district found the same issues persisted as when the test in was first introduced in 2015.
Testing was postponed last year when students couldn't log in to take the computerized test. There were also issues with computers crashing and delays, said Dwayne Alton, the IT director of Lee County schools.
"They had issues with slow response times in some cases. They had issues with the tests getting started," Alton said.
Those problems have not been fixed, according to the school districts IT department.
With the initial FSA testing two weeks out, principals said they are concerned that test will interrupt students' focus and impact scores.
Colonial Elementary School Principal Marsha Bur said any major blips would be unfair to the children taking the exam.
"It's scary any time. You have something new that you have to prepare children for or that children have to take. It can be a little bit scary because they're not sure what to expect," she said.
The school district said it is reaching out to the test company, the American Institute for Research, about the problems.

Funeral Doom Friday
Funeral Doom Friday: FÓRN's Glacially-Paced, Soul-Crushing Doom Returns On "涂地/Manifestations of the Divine Root"
Posted by Cody Davis on June 15, 2018 at 2:16 pm
Finally, the weekend is upon us. What better way to kick it off than with the latest installment of "Funeral Doom Friday". For those who are new to this column; each week features a new or classic album from the realm of extreme doom. Much of funeral/death doom's might comes from an oppressive emotional weight and the use of death or black metal motifs (played at a trudging pace, of course.)
Pioneers like Mournful Congregation, Evoken, and Esoteric have mastered this blend of dirge and destruction. For 25 years, they have methodically built compositions that stretch for dozens of minutes all while keeping fans enthralled. Time has elapsed since the days of Thergothon and much like the world around us, the genre has evolved. Today's modern bands contort the very construct of the genre, breeding darkly refreshing new work. Their work thankfully gives this column plenty of material to share.
Enjoy this week's post and check out prior features here. Please feel free to also share thoughts or suggestions for future installments in the comments section below or to me directly on Twitter.
Boston's Fórn will finally be returning this year with new music. The band recently announced their newest full-length recording, Rites of Despair. It's been an up and down past two years for the band as they've dealt with lineup changes and relocation among other events. Still, Fórn is back and as dismal as ever. The first taste of Rites of Despair comes by way of the opening numbers, "涂地" and "Manifestations of the Divine Root."
A lot of what made Fórn so great initially returns—glacially-paced, soul-crushing doom—but, as "涂地" shows, the band taps into new ideas. Mainly, a collaboration with Lane Shi of Elizabeth Colour Wheel. For the uninitiated, ECW, creates a similar emotional tone to Fórn, but with harsh, noisy punk and other styles. Shi's contribution in the introduction is wonderfully striking. Her voice directly contrasts Chris Pinto's deep, thunderous growl. The way Fórn works this dichotomy is flawless, much like their knack for well-disciplined, sludge-ridden doom.
Check out the new tracks now. Pre-orders for Rites of Despair are available now at Gilead Media.

Album Review: ELIZABETH COLOUR WHEEL Nocebo


During the war the Turkish authorities attempted to exterminate the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire, either by violent murder or by sending them on death marches to inhospitable desert regions where they could be left to die of hunger and thirst. Now Turkey has been defeated and its capital is under Allied occupation. It will be some time before the Allies agree a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire, but in the meantime they are pressuring the Turks to pursue those who directed and perpetrated the mass killing of the Armenians. The main architects of the slaughter (the ruling triumvirate of Enver, Djemal and Talaat) have by now fled the country but persons lower down the chain are now beginning to face justice.
In trials, prosecutors are able to demonstrate that the mass murder was not accidental but directed from the centre by Enver, Djemal and Talaat, who are convicted and sentenced to death in absentia. Today justice catches up with the first of their subordinates. Mehmed Kemal was the lieutenant governor of Yozgat, responsible for the murder of thousands of Armenians. Today after his conviction by a Turkish court, he is hanged in Constantinople. Calthorpe, head of the Allied occupation of Constantinople, hopes that this is a sign that the Turkish authorities are now committed to pursuing the murderers of the Armenians. However Kemal's funeral turns into a nationalist demonstration, with mourners hailing Kemal as a martyr to the British.
When Egyptian nationalists requested that they be allowed attend the Paris Conference, the British authorities responded by arresting and deporting them. This however has caused Egypt to explode, with the country now engulfed by strikes, demonstrations, riots and acts of sabotage against the British and their local proxies. The British have responded sternly, arresting and killing large numbers of Egyptian malcontents; by now as many as 800 Egyptians have been killed by British forces. However the crackdown has failed to pacify the country.
As part of their attempts to bring Egypt to heel the British have appointed General Allenby as Special High Commissioner. Allenby quickly realises that repression has failed and that a more conciliatory approach is needed. He orders Zaghloul and the other nationalist leaders released from detention in Malta, from where they are now free to travel on to Paris if they wish. In Egypt disturbances continue, but Allenby has released the pressure and a degree of calm begins to return to the country.

7k Metals Provides a Precious Metals Reseller Platform Stack Sell
Written by Aura Lane on 02 Aug 2022
7k Metals "Stack & Sell" is an online tool that permits purchasers of its exclusive collectible coins an efficient digital sales platform on which to resell coins from their collections. For more than five years, 7k Metals has provided an easy, no-gimmick approach to purchasing precious metals, including rare, unique, and exclusive modern collectible coins. It also provides an education in numismatics. And it has other membership benefits, such as savings on travel and health insurance. Members can buy bullion at member-direct pricing as well as low-mintage collectibles. And now, 7k Metals also provides an efficient resellers platform. Evidence of the benefits of Stack & Sell was recently experienced by 7k Metals member Brenda Sutliff, who began collecting 7k Metals coins as a hobby. However, she discovered that collectible coins can have a kind of stored value. So, what began as a hobby turned into a goal to create a legacy for her family. Depending on market fluctuations and as need dictates, 7k Metals collectible coins can be resold on Stack & Sell. It's a little like carrying water in the desert: it's there if you need it or it's still there if you don't. Sutliff had been introduced to 7k Metals in 2018 by her friend Bonnie Longie. At the time, Sutliff didn't realize that 7k Metals would prove to be not only a great hobby, but a valuable asset to confront what was coming. What was coming for Sutliff was doctors discovering a mass on her kidney. In addition to her kidney challenge, Sutliff was between houses when she was diagnosed with COVID-19, and it hit her hard. "I lost 20 pounds, and I wound up at the hospital. I could barely walk. I had no idea how I was going to make ends meet. I had some savings, but it was going fast as I looked for someplace to live. That's when I first really thought of the coins I'd been collecting with 7k Metals as an asset. Something I could turn into cash — and quickly." Through her 7k Metals online platform, Sutliff began to liquidate some of her graded collectibles with the recently released Stack & Sell. That permitted Sutliff to stay in a motel for six weeks while she continued the frustrating business of looking for a home — and it gave her time to recover sufficiently from COVID-19 to be strong enough for surgery (if that is the outcome the doctors determine to be her next challenge). Sutliff remembers her trials over the past year as a revelation of the value of Stack & Sell. "Whatever comes, the time I've banked with 7k Metals and the Stack & Sell tool is stored value that has provided me a sense of vision and independence." For more information, contact: Clifton H. Jolley, Ph.D.Advent [email protected](214) 497-0084 Source: 7k Metals


Thor Race report: Thor riders endure rutted Indonesian MXGP.
The 12th round of the FIM MXGP series held in Pangkal Pinang, Indonesia, has seen Thor racer's, Clement Desalle, Julien Lieber and Evgeny Bobryshev endure a rutted, technical track that took a lot of rainfall prior to the event.
Having qualified 3rd in Staurday's race, Desalle had a good gate pick for the main program on Sunday and as the gate dropped for the first moto he positioned himself into the top 5 on the opening lap. Biding his time, Desalle, waited to make his move on an aggressive Gajser and then pounced on the Slovakian to take over third. He had Herlings within his sites however the Dutchman managed to defend his position. Bobryshev rode a strong moto and came from a long way back to break into the top ten. He crossed the line in 9th place showing consistent speed. Julien Lieber made the most of a tough Indonesian ordeal after his return from a shoulder injury. The resilient Belgian placed 12th at the checkered flag.
Guns blazing on the opening lap of moto 2 , Desalle charged into second place behind Herlings but was caught off guard as he chose a softer rut and lost 5 places. He then had a small crash in a rutted corner and had to claw his way back up the ladder to salvage 8th spot. Bobryshev was able to take advantage of the Desalle mistake and was up to 8th with 10 minutes gone on the clock. The Russian lost a few spots at one stage but settled and came back strong to finish 9th. Mistakes by Lieber made the final moto very tough as he had to settle for 16th place.
Riders and teams will now transfer to Semarang located approximately 450km South East of Jakarta where round 13 will be held on the 7-8 July.

Spending days at sea on research ships in the Gulf of Mexico may not be how typical Aggie undergraduate students spend their time in between classes, but for junior Victoria Scriven, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
That's because Scriven is one of the first students in the oceanography undergraduate degree program at Texas A&M University.
Fall 2017 was the inaugural semester of the Texas A&M Department of Oceanography's undergraduate program, and the pioneering students have gotten to take advantage of unique hands-on research opportunities and faculty mentoring.
One thing these soon-to-be Aggie oceanographers have in common is a deep passion for the world's oceans.
"I always knew I loved the ocean; it is where I feel like I belong," said sophomore Samantha Longridge. "My dad, Kent Longridge '91, graduated from A&M and he has his master's in ocean engineering, so he has a passion for the ocean."
Oceanography students conducting researh aboard the RV Trident in Galveston Bay on Nov. 4.
Texas A&M has long offered graduate and doctoral degrees in oceanography, and received state approval to add the undergraduate program in December 2016.
"The Department of Oceanography is very excited to be able to offer this new STEM degree, the B.S. degree in Oceanography." Dr. Shari Yvon-Lewis, professor and interim oceanography department head, said.
The students agreed that one thing that makes Texas A&M's undergraduate oceanography program so unique is that "you can tell all the professors are really into what they are teaching," Longridge said.
"I took Oceanography 251 with Dr. David Brooks, and he was so passionate about it, you could just tell that he loved it," she said.
The size of the program also plays a role in its uniqueness.
Undergraduate students aboard the RV Trident in Galveston Bay on Nov. 4, from left to right: Kelsey Gibbons, oceanography major; Cassie Oswood, OCNG 491 student; Ana Ramos, oceanography major; Samantha Longridge, oceanography major; Victoria Scriven, oceanography major; James Chapman, oceanography major; Cody Padlo, OCNG 491 student; Brian Buckingham, TAMU-GERG student worker.
"Research experiences, including field, lab and modeling studies, are necessary for students to get that hands-on experience," Yvon-Lewis said.
As for the future, both Scriven and Longridge plan to attend graduate school.

Freda Bedi
The Lives of Freda
THE LIVES OF FREDA: THE BLOG
The Kashmir Walla
The Kashmir Walla - a lively and conspicuously well-produced magazine which circulates in the Kashmir Valley - has printed an extract from The Lives of Freda. Both Freda and her husband were politically influential there in the 1940s - and B.P.L. Bedi took the lead in compiling the landmark New Kashmir manifesto and draft constitution. Freda at one time worked underground for Sheikh Abdullah's National Conference in the face of an oppressive crackdown by the maharaja's administration.
After Partition, the Bedis moved to Srinagar and spent five years living there, working with Sheikh Abdullah who had become Jammu & Kashmir's prime minister. Freda and B.P.L.'s last child, Gulhima, was born there.
It's such a pity that the one place this blog will not be seen is in Kashmir, where the internet is still unavailable for almost all residents of the Valley.
Freda Bedi's tryst with Kashmir
The Live History website has posted an extract from The Lives of Freda - part of the section dealing with her involvement in Kashmir. They gave the extract the very appropriate title of 'Freda Bedi's Tryst with Kashmir'. Here's the link:
https://www.livehistoryindia.com/history-daily/2019/08/18/freda-bedis-tryst-with-kashmir
More than 45,000 people accessed the extract.
Review in Daily Excelsior
Freda and B.P.L. Bedi in Kashmir in the 1940s
The Lives of Freda is reviewed in today's issue of the Jammu-based paper the Daily Excelsior - the reviewer is Ramesh Tamiri, a very considerable expert on Kashmir and particularly the progressive strand within Kashmiri politics. As you would expect, the review focusses on Freda and B.P.L. Bedi's political activity in Kashmir, and the left-wing current within Kashmiri nationalism that they championed. Ramesh Tamiri is himself writing about the history of the Kashmiri left.
Here's the link to the review: https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/bedis-s-kashmir-connection/?fbclid=IwAR13pduAXotKJvsR4LFqU-bmxc3wLpqa4DJXtG2xapC7kzjn-O2jdZ7ZCh4
Outlook: the Bedis and Kashmir's left turn
Linked to the publication of The Lives of Freda, Naseer Ganai, Outlook magazine's correspondent in Srinagar, interviewed me by email about the Bedis' political influence in Kashmir in the late 1930s and 1940s. Here's the link to Naseer's piece: www.outlookindia.com/website/story/bedis-in-kashmir/327143
And here's what I said:
Q: What was the role of communists, especially of B.P.L Bedi, in the land reforms initiated by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah as you have quoted Christabel Taseer describing him as "advisor in chief' to Sheikh Abdullah, and Josef Korbel calling him as 'the eminence grise behind the Abdullah government."
A: Bedi was, as well as a Communist, a prominent activist in Punjab's kisan movement. I think he encouraged the National Conference to advocate land reforms, and he certainly played a key role in drawing up the 1944 'New Kashmir' manifesto which demanded 'land to the tiller' - one of the earliest expressions of this political slogan in India. Bedi was very influential in Srinagar, and Sheikh Abdullah relied on him a lot, but I suspect his role was not as sinister as Josef Korbel, a very outspoken anti-Communist, suggests.
Q: You have stated that B.P.L. Bedi's most outstanding political achievement was that he was the principal architect of the New Kashmir document, but at the same time the book says it was stolen from Stalin's communist manifesto. Also, you say that Bedi never claimed ownership of it. Which of the three statements is correct?
A: B.P.L. Bedi took the lead in compiling the 'New Kashmir' manifesto. It's a very ambitious 44-page document which was both a manifesto and a draft constitution. Bedi never claimed to have written the entire document - because he didn't. He borrowed liberally from other documents, and the proposed constitution for Jammu & Kashmir was based closely on the 1936 constitution that Stalin introduced in the Soviet Union. So all three statements are correct - Bedi was the main person involved in putting together the manifesto, though much of it was taken from other publications, including the Soviet constitution. I wouldn't say that 'New Kashmir' stole from the Soviet document - which suggests dishonesty - simply that given the task of a devising a draft constitution, Bedi turned for inspiration to the constitution that he knew and admired most, that of Stalin's Soviet Union.
Q: The New Kashmir Manifesto featured a drawing of a woman on its front cover. Whose idea was it?
A: I don't know - but I think it is remarkable. The woman was a representation of a National Conference activist, Zuni Gujjari, and she is depicted as politically assertive rather than decorative. This tallies with the distinctly progressive sections of 'New Kashmir' addressing women's rights, including to education and training as well as full social and political equality. It's one of the most intriguing aspects of Kashmir nationalism in the 1940s. And of course a few years later Srinagar saw a left-wing women's militia, the Women's Self-Defence Corps, of which Freda Bedi was a member. She may have had a role in achieving the emphasis on gender issues in 'New Kashmir' but there's no definitive confirmation of that.
Q: Was Jawaharlal Nehru's letter to Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah about the activities of B.P.L Bedi the only reason responsible for the sudden exit of Bedis from Kashmir in early 1953 or were there some other reasons?
A: I think there were a range of reasons - Nehru's unhappiness with Bedi was one factor, so too was Sheikh Abdullah's increasing disenchantment with his left-wing supporters. I suspect the Bedis also had personal reasons for leaving Kashmir.
Q: What was the role of Freda Bedi in establishing the Government College for Women and how many years did she spend in the college as a lecturer in English?
A: Some of Freda Bedi's former colleagues in the Women's Self-Defence Corps took the lead in setting up the Government College for Women. Freda gave birth to her daughter in Srinagar in 1949. When she returned to work the following year, she started lecturing at the College and continued in this role for about two years. She is still remembered fondly by some of her Kashmiri students
The first reviews ...
A lovely post on Facebook by Amitabh Mattoo - professor of disarmament studies in Australia and India and a real authority on Kashmir. This is what he said:
"The Lives of Freda is essential reading for all those are interested in Kashmir beyond the tragic headlines that occupy the mind space of most of us today!
"The life of an English woman who constantly "reinvented" herself: from Oxford University to the idealism of Sheikh Abdullah's Kashmir to life as an ordained Buddhist nun now strangely makes you believe once again in the indomitable potential of the human spirit. At a time when bigotry and sectarianism is the esprit de corps of the sub continent, every young woman, man and the child in all of us, must read this brilliant biography of the woman who helped draft the Naya Kashmir Manifesto. If that sounds like a blurb, it is intended to be one : so that at least the leaders and pretenders in J&K can read and resuscitate the energy and idealism that was part of Freda's times in Kashmir."
There's also a short review in the Mumbai daily, the Afternoon Despatch & Courier - and the Hindu has listed the book as among the week's best reads.
Freda Bedi in 'Rising Kashmir'
Ahead of the publication next month of The Lives of Freda, the excellent Srinagar-based daily Rising Kashmir has published a piece by me about Freda Bedi's role in the Kashmiri resistance in the mid-1940s and then in support of the radical administration that took power locally at the close of 1947.
This photo comes from about 1948, when Freda Bedi was a member of a left-wing women's militia in Kashmir, the women's Self-Defence Corps.
She is with her two sons - Kabir is in her arms while Ranga is astride Rufus, the family's Great Dane.

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) will be conducting water main flushing for the Sandwick Water System from April 23 to 27 in preparation for connecting Sandwick residents to the Comox Valley Water System.
Between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, flushing will occur beginning from the northeast end of the system, to the southwest end of the system throughout the five day period. Water may be extremely turbid at certain points depending on the flushing schedule – particularly in the Virginia Drive, Meadowbrook area. It is known that this area has experienced significant water quality issues in the past and it is expected that there is a large amount of sediment remaining in the pipe. Once connected to the Regional system, flushing will be done on an annual basis to prevent a similar buildup in the future.
Water main flushing does not pose a risk to the general population. However, it is recommended that residents reserve drinking water in anticipation of the flushing. Immune compromised residents should consult with their doctor or nurse practitioner about whether to take extra precautions.
Activities like laundry, dishwashing and showering that require clear, pressurized water should be avoided if possible during the day. Flushing will cease in the evening and residents are advised to run their cold water tap until water is clear prior to resuming their usual activities.
For more information about water main flushing in the Sandwick Water System, please visit www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/maintenance or phone 250-334-6056.
To sign up for notifications, via mobile or land line, about water maintenance issues within the Sandwick system, please visit: www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/getnotified. Upon registering, check the community in which you live and "Sandwick Water System." Need help? Phone 250-334-6057 for support with registration.
