URGENT ACTION APPEAL:
Case IND-FE 300806
Threat of Demolition of 4,500 homes, and the Forced Eviction of more than 25,000 people in Bhagirath Nagar Village, Bhatti Mines, India
The Coordination Office of the Housing and Land Rights Network of Habitat International Coalition (HIC-HLRN) and its regional South Asia office in Delhi request your URGENT intervention in the following situation in INDIA.
Brief description of the situation
More than 4,500 families in Bhagirath Nagar (also known as Sanjay Colony), Bhatti Mines face the imminent threat of demolition and forced eviction.
Based on a Supreme Court order of 9 April 2006, the Delhi government after submitting false evidence in the Court obtained an order to demolish Bhagirath Nagar on the grounds that it encroached on the Ridge. Spread out over 145 acres, Bhagirath Nagar was created for refugees from Pakistan. It is now a full-fledged village, which enjoyed State support until 1990. In April 1991, a notification of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, declared the area as a Wildlife Sanctuary under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, thus calling for the final closure of Bhatti Mines. Since then, State support for infrastructure development of the area was suspended.
Residents of Bhagirath Nagar have pointed to material evidence of a legally developed settlement, and to the fact that its residents were formerly recognised as bona fide villagers: in 1980–81, they received ration cards; in 1983, they had their representatives elected as members of the Bhatti village panchayat; and in 1987, they received "pattas" (titles) to 120 square yard (110 metre2) housing plots on gram sabha land under the 20–point programme.
In 1984, however, Bhagirath Nagar was reclassified from a village to a slum. Residents challenged this decision as arbitrary and the declaration of the area as a sanctuary, in 1991, as being baseless and dubious. The village currently houses over 25,000 people and includes two schools (one of which is considered to produce the best results in South Delhi), an ayurvedic hospital, a government veterinary centre, a community hall, a police post, an asphalted road, and a regular bus service. While Bhatti Mines is being targeted for "encroaching" on the Ridge and for lying within the newly declared Asola Sanctuary, farmhouses and religious organisations continue to occupy large tracts of land in the area and face no accusations of encroachment or threats of demolition.
To protest the illegal, unjust and inhumane decision to destroy their village, residents of Bhatti Mines launched a relay hunger strike from 27 June 2006. They also organized a public hearing on 23 July 2006. Despite this, they face the imminent threat of demolition.
On 20 April 2006, MCD officials demolished houses of 1,500 families, (where one person died of heart attack on seeing his house being demolished) in Indira Nagar and Balbir Nagar in Bhatti Mines. The majority of families who lost their homes still have not received alternative housing or land, and none of them have been compensated for the loss of belongings and homes.
While the lives and livelihoods of over 25,000 people are at risk, the Supreme Court and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi continue to endorse the annihilation of a rich historical and cultural heritage.
More than 20,000 people who came as refugees during the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 officially settled in 1976 in village Bhagirath Nagar in Bhatti Mines, a huge complex of quarries that for 25 years (1965–90) yielded red sand, silica and stone for Delhi's construction industry.
. An overwhelming majority of original settlers in Bhagirath Nagar are members of the Od tribe The Ods are a large ethnic group spread over vast regions with important concentrations in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana. Hereditary diggers and earth masons by trade, the Ods have been nomads for centuries, and were known in the whole subcontinent as indigenous civil engineers constructors of ponds, canals and embankments. Post-1947, large sections of the tribe inhabiting Sindh and Western Punjab became separated between India and Pakistan; among those who chose the India side of the border, were the pioneer settlers of the labour village in Bhatti Mines.
In June 1990, the Union Ministry of Labour closed Bhatti Mines for"rectification." The lock-out was ordered as the death of seven labourers in a pit-side collapse on 31 May 1990 revealed the violation of safety norms by the DSMDC management, in collusion with a mafia of private contractors. The approximately 4,000 quarry workers were summarily laid off without any compensation and, in April 1991, the closure of Bhatti Mines turned final through a notification of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, declaring the area as a wildlife sanctuary under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Over the years, Bhagirath Nagar has developed into a large village. It houses a primary school built in 1977 with 2,500 students now; a government senior secondary school constructed in 1985 that now houses 1,000 students; an ayurvedic hospital constructed in 1980, and a Primary Health Centre established in 2001. Despite all this, in 1984, the Delhi Government renotified Bhagirath Nagar from a village to a "J.J. Slum," and people's permanent ration cards were changed to J.J. Slum cards without any legal justification or explanation.
Under the impending prospect of "slum relocation," no new ration cards have been issued after 2001 to Bhagirath Nagar residents, even as sons and daughters of old-time settlers grew up, got married and raised their own families.
The original 1996 directives of the Supreme Court envisaged a separately funded, permanent resettlement project in nearby Jaunapur. In contravention of this, a Supreme Court directive, dated 7 February 2006, based on an arbitrary affidavit submitted by the Chief Secretary of Delhi, says that residents of Bhagirath Nagar are to be removed to Savda Ghevra, which is still completely undeveloped with no basic civic amenities in place. It has no proper roads and is currently flooded with rain water. The people who have been relocated there from recent evictions in Yamuna Pushta have not been allowed to construct houses. (See HLRN Urgent Action IND-FE 290404.) Instead, they are forced to live under flimsy bamboo shelters that provide no protection from the sun or rain. Apart from being uninhabitable, Savda Ghevra is located around 50 kilometres away from Bhatti Mines. Any move to relocate people there will thus severely impact and threaten their livelihoods.
When inhabitants sought information from the slum wing through the Right to Information Act as to why were people not being resettled in Jaunapur or Dera Mandi, they received the reply that land was not available there.
There are 4,500 families in Bhagirath Nagar but the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's MCD's slum wing claims there are only 3,100 families residing there, and only half of them are considered eligible for alternative plots. This would mean that in the event of relocation, many families will be left out.
On 28 June 2006, the vacation bench of the Supreme Court rejected the villagers' plea for a stay of the renewed eviction orders of 7 February and 5 May 2006, and reiterated instructions to the government of Delhi to act quickly on Bhatti Mines. When residents learned that the Supreme Court order of 9 April 1996, had labelled them "encroachers" and called for the relocation of their village, they opposed this action and asked the Chief Secretary of Delhi government for the real facts behind relocation, but till today have been kept in the dark.
Of serious concern is the fact that there is no comment on the role played by the Ridge Management Board since 1996 in obtaining and flaunting the Supreme Court order to evacuate the three labour villages as "jhuggi (slum) clusters" encroaching the Southern Ridge. Sanjay Colony has subsisted for the last 16 years as a registered J.J. cluster inside the notified sanctuary, and nothing was ever done to challenge this legal position. During the same period, several hundred farmhouses (private estates) have spread over the whole expanse of the Southern Ridge, but are not being challenged; neither do they face any threat of demolition.
The residents of Bhagirath Nagar have for years been involved in planting trees and greening the area. Recently, on 12 August 2006, under the plantation mission of Dera Sachcha Sauda (Sirasa)'s Green S Welfare Force, they planted more than 5,000 saplings.
Indira Nagar and Balbir Nagar in the Bhatti Mines area were demolished on 20 April 2006. While there were 1,300 families in the two settlements, the slum wing of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), claims that there were only 1,112 families. Of them, only 520 families were relocated in Bawana, while 30 families were sent to Holambi Kalan. The remaining families still have not received any compensation or resettlement options and have had to fend for themselves.
National and International Human Rights Law Violations
The threatened demolition in Bhagirath Nagar, Bhatti Mines, would constitute a blatant violation of the human right to adequate housing and land. These forced evictions, without adequate rehabilitation, would violate the affected people's fundamental right to life and livelihood as enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Reaffirming the principle of indivisibility of all human rights, the fundamental right to life encompasses the right to live with human dignity. Furthermore, Article 14 of the Constitution of India guarantees equal protection under law, which is being threatened.
The demolition would be in clear contradiction of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's Common Minimum Programme (CMP) of May 2004, which specifically states: "Forced eviction and demolition of slums will be stopped and, while undertaking urban renewal, care will be taken to see that the urban and semi-urban poor are provided housing near their place of occupation."
Besides contradicting the Common Minimum Programme, the actions taken against the people of Balbir Nagar and Indira Nagar and those threatened to be taken against the residents of Bhagirath Nagar constitute a violation of their basic human rights to life, security, health, work, food, education and adequate housing; i.e., the right of all women, men and children to gain and sustain a secure place to live in peace and dignity. The authorities especially violate people's entitlements to security of tenure and freedom from forced evictions; access to, and benefit from public goods and services; information, capacity and capacity-building; participation and self-expression; rights to resettlement and adequate compensation for violations and losses; and physical security and privacy. All are elements of the human right to adequate housing as recognized in international law.
The demolition and forced eviction would especially impact the rights of women and children. Children's right to education would be most severely threatened, since the village has two well established schools that are missing in the resettlement site.
By these eviction threats, the Indian authorities, including the local authorities, breach their treaty obligations under, inter alia, Articles 2, 11, 12, 13 and 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), to which India acceded in 1979. The State has been derelict in its obligations as elaborated in the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights General Comments No. 4 on the right to adequate housing and No. 7 on forced evictions. The State of India also would contravene its obligations under Articles 16, 27 and 39 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), to which it acceded on 11 December 1992, and Article 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), which it ratified on 9 July 1993. The evictions would also constitute a gross violation of the new Basic Principles and Guidelines on Development-based Evictions and Displacement issued by the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing of the UN Commission on Human Rights.
Action Requested:
Please write to the authorities in India, urging them to respect their obligations under national and international law to respect, protect, promote and fulfil the human right to adequate housing by:
Suspending all demolition orders for Bhagirath Nagar, Bhatti Mines on the legal grounds that the village has existed in the area since 1976, much before the declaration of the area as a sanctuary in 1991.
Regularizing the village and changing its legal status back to that of a village and not a J.J. Slum.
Establishing an independent enquiry committee, with sufficient representatives from all concerned sections to objectively study the area under the Ridge and the encroachments on it.
Recognising the contributions of the village in preserving the natural environment and substantially increasing the forest cover in the area.
Compensating residents of Indira Nagar and Balbir Nagar for the destruction of their homes and their material and non-material losses.
Formulating a resettlement plan for respecting their options, including their right to return to Bhatti Mines.
Providing in situ upgradation of Bhagirath Nagar and renewing infrastructure support for the village.
Urgently developing the resettlement sites of Bawana, Holambi Kalan and Savda Gevra by ensuring the expedient provision of essential services such as water, healthcare, education, sanitation, adequate housing, adequate roads, and a regular bus service.

Dear Madam/ Sir:
Habitat International Coalition-Housing and Land Rights Network (HIC-HLRN) has informed us that more than 4,500 families in Sanjay Colony (Bhagirath Nagar), Bhatti Mines face the imminent threat of demolition and forced eviction.
Spread out over 145 acres, Bhagirath Nagar was created for refugees from Pakistan by late Sanjay Gandhi in 1976 and is therefore also called Sanjay Colony though it is now a full-fledged village. In April 1991, a notification of Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, declared the area as a Wildlife Sanctuary under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, thus calling for the final closure of Bhatti Mines. Based on a Supreme Court order of 9 April 2006, the Delhi government after submitting false evidence in the Court obtained an order to demolish Bhagirath Nagar on the grounds that it encroached on the Ridge.
Residents of Bhagirath Nagar have pointed to material evidence of a legally developed settlement, and to the fact that its residents were formerly recognised as bona fide villagers: in 1980-81 they received ration cards, in 1983 they had their representatives elected as members of the Bhatti village panchayat, and in 1987 received "pattas" (titles) to 120-square yard housing plots in gram sabha land under the 20-point programme.
In 1984, however, Bhagirath Nagar was renotified from a village to a J.J. Slum. Residents challenge this decision as arbitrary and the declaration of the area as a Sanctuary in 1991 as being baseless and dubious. The village currently houses over 25,000 people and includes two schools, an ayurvedic hospital, government veterinary centre, a community hall, police post, an asphalted road, and a regular bus service. We have heard that while Bhatti Mines is being targeted for "encroaching" on the Ridge, farmhouses and religious organisations continue to occupy large tracts of land in the area and face no demolition threat.
To protest the illegal, unjust and inhuman decision to destroy their village, residents of Bhatti mines launched a relay hunger strike from 27 June 2006. The fast is still on. Despite this, they face the threat of demolition.
We are shocked to learn that on April 20, 2006, MCD officials demolished both Indira Nagar and Balbir Nagar in Bhatti Mines. The majority of families who lost their homes have still not received alternative housing or land, and none of them have been compensated for the loss of their belongings and homes.
The threatened demolition in Bhagirath Nagar, Bhatti Mines would constitute a blatant violation of the human right to adequate housing and land. These forced evictions without adequate rehabilitation would violate the affected people's fundamental right to life and livelihood as enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Reaffirming the principle of indivisibility of all human rights, the fundamental right to life encompasses the right to live with human dignity. Furthermore, Article 14 of the Constitution of India guarantees equal protection under law, which is being threatened.
Besides contradicting the Common Minimum Programme, the actions taken against the people of Balbir Nagar and Indira Nagar and threatened to be taken against the residents of Bhagirath Nagar constitute a violation of their basic human rights to life, security, health, work, and adequate housing; i.e., the right of all women, men and children to gain and sustain a secure place to live in peace and dignity. The authorities especially violate people's entitlements to security of tenure and freedom from forced evictions; access to, and benefit from public goods and services; information, capacity and capacity building; participation and self-expression; rights to resettlement and adequate compensation for violations and losses; and physical security and privacy. All are elements of the human right to adequate housing as recognized in international law.
The demolition and forced eviction would especially impact the rights of women and children. Children's right to education would be most severely threatened since the village has two well established schools.
By these evictions, the Indian authorities, including the local authorities, breach their treaty obligations under, inter alia, Articles 2, 11, 12, 13 and 15 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), to which India acceded in 1979. The State has been derelict in its obligations as elaborated in the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights General Comments No. 4 on the right to adequate housing and No. 7 on forced evictions. The State of India would also contravene its obligations under Articles 16, 27 and 39 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) to which it acceded on 11 December 1992, and Article 14 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), which it ratified on 9 July 1993. The evictions also constitute a gross violation of the new Basic Principles and Guidelines on Development-based Evictions and Displacement issued by the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing of the UN Commission on Human Rights.
We request you to use the powers vested in your office to uphold the human rights of the residents of Bhagirath Nagar, Bhatti Mines by immediately undertaking the following actions:
Establishing an independent enquiry committee to objectively study the area under the Ridge and the encroachments on it.
Compensating people of Indira Nagar and Balbir Nagar for the destruction of their homes and their material and non-material losses.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this serious matter. We look forward to hearing from you about your remedial actions in response.

1. Jun 2019 Brad Mayer Trip Reports
In two different regions of the Ukraine in May, the Gospel went forth powerfully. Lives were changed as we ministered to the poor, preached in churches and prayed for the sick. It was great seeing God move in this part of the world, as many challenges have recently risen up in the Ukraine, including military conflict and a new government. We ministered in gypsy villages, local churches, homes, on the streets and even in a newly developed camp outside the city of Chernivtsi. We pray that God will continue to make a difference in these precious people.
15. May 2019 Brad Mayer Trip Reports
Our small team of Brad Mayer, Chris Ward and Romanian evangelist Levi Szandai touched many lives in villages in the far eastern region of Hungary in May. Many villages in this part of the world have a 'gypsy street' where there is often a lot of poverty. We prayed for the sick, led people to Christ and taught about evangelism in both homes and in a local church.
Ministry in Moldova - August 2016
30. Aug 2016 Brad Mayer Trip Reports
Crossing the border from Romania into Moldova was the first time I really felt like I was passing behind the 'iron curtain.' This former communist nation had evidences of days past with numerous concrete block buildings and Soviet-era lookouts at the border crossing. Maybe the signs in Russian style Cyrillic lettering added to the flavour for us.
The people were hungry for the Gospel though and it was great to minister with a pastor who not only had a church in Cahul, Moldova, but he was planting another church in Galati, Romania not far away. Pray for this nation that God would move where many women are unfortunately the victims of human trafficking.
Reaching Children in Romania
On my first visit to Romania in 2012, one of the church leaders there told me that many gypsy churches didn't bother ministering to the children because some felt that the Gospel was too difficult for them to understand. I determined in my heart that if I ever returned to Romania, I would bring teams that would minister to children and teach about Children's Ministry - a very valuable part of bringing the Gospel to the world. The Gospel is not difficult to understand, and we must bring it to all ages, including children.
August 2016 marked my third trip to Romania, when our team of five ministered and reached out in public parks and at a children's camp where we made an impact on the next generation. We painted faces, played games, fed the children, did drama, gave out prizes and preached the Gospel. We encouraged leaders to keep up the good work in reaching out to children!

Free Agents: 8 Players Who Would Not Cost Your Club a Penny
The 6 Highest Finishes Achieved by Sides Promoted to the Premier League
Michael Plant 13 Feb 2017
With Burnley flying high in 12th place and looking a seasoned Premier League veteran, it would be easy to forget they were in the Championship just last year.
But could the Clarets finish higher than any other promoted side in Premier League history?
Well to be honest no, but here's a list of sides who amazed everyone by adapting effortlessly to life in the Premier League...
6. Reading - 8th (2006/07)
After steamrolling the Championship the year before with an incredible 106 points, it didn't come as quite a surprise that Steve Coppell's side finished a respectable eighth after promotion.
In fact, the Royals finished just one point and one place off a UEFA Cup spot.
Yet despite their fantastic achievements, it unfortunately didn't last and Reading were relegated back to the Championship the following year.
5. Sunderland - 7th (1999/00)
Sunderland strolled to the 1999 First Division title, winning the league by a huge 18 points.
Peter Reid's side included a number of household names, including Thomas Sorensen, Micky Gray and Kevin Kilbane, and finished 7th with a remarkably high total of 58 points.
Yet the stars of the team were the dynamic pairing of Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips up front. Phillips in particular scored 30 goals, leading to him winning the European Golden Shoe award.
4. Ipswich - 5th (2000/01)
Thoughts of finishing fifth in the Premier League and playing in Europe may feel like a lifetime ago for Ipswich fans, but 16 years ago it was reality.
After guiding his side to promotion in 2000, George Burley nearly managed to finish in a Champions League spot the following year. In fact, Ipswich were only three points away from Europe's elite competition.
Unfortunately for the Tractor Boys it wasn't to last and incredibly the following season they were to be relegated, despite playing in the UEFA Cup.
3. Blackburn - 4th (1992/93)
In the Premier League's inaugural season, Blackburn surprised everyone by finishing fourth.
Heavily backed by owner Jack Walker, Rovers spent £3.3m (a British record at the time) to bring Alan Shearer to Ewood Park. Yet it was far from a one-man team.
Shearer suffered a serious knee injury in December and a Blackburn side including the likes of Tim Sherwood, David May and Mike Newell still managed to finish in the European spots.
2. Newcastle - 3rd (1993/94)
Newcastle's first year in the Premier League was incredibly successful and showed glimpses of the side that would run Manchester United so close in the title race a few years later.
Thanks mainly to the goals of young Andy Cole (34 in the league) Kevin Keegan's side took to the Premier League as if they were made for it.
The highlight of the campaign was undoubtedly the 7-1 thrashing of Swindon Town.
1. Nottingham Forest - 3rd (1994/95)
Nottingham Forest, alongside Newcastle in 1993/94, can still claim to be the highest ever finishers after being promoted to the Premier League.
A side that included the likes of Colin Cooper, Stuart Pearce, Steve Stone and Stan Collymore finished on 77 points in their first year in the Premier League (a high enough points tally to win the league on occasions).
Manager Frank Clark was to sell Collymore the following summer for a then British record fee of £8.4m. It was thought at the time as a sign that transfer fees were become ridiculous...how times have changed.

If you're in the Long Island real estate market area, you might be interested in helping the doctor who owns the house and is selling it on his own.
I've spoken about For Sale by Owner (FSBO) opportunities for home stagers in the past. One of the downsides of chasing FSBOs is that often they don't want to spend any money (that's why they didn't hire a real estate agent).
However in this case, the owner/seller has reached out to me because he knows he needs home staging advice. After looking at the brochure he put together for the sale of his home, I agree!
The above living room photo is only one of many he included in his brochure and his online listing. It's not a bad room, but how many home staging mistakes can you spot?
It's a spacious home with a lovely inground pool and a great property for a family with kids. They even have a sports court set up for tennis, badminton and volley ball!
Listed for $699,000, in an area where the average listing price is only $445,322, this 6-bedroom house needs to really stand out.
Especially online, since it isn't being handled by a real estate agent. I'm also thinking that if the owner is a doctor, how much time does he really have for real estate marketing?
His listing photos need help, as does every room in the 6,000 square foot home, from what I've seen.
It will be easy to provide home staging advice to this seller because he's very open to it.
The house is currently furnished, so you will work with what the client already has, arranging it in new and better ways.
If it were me doing the home staging consultation, I'd choose new paint colors for several rooms, recommend decluttering, rearrange the furniture, and choose new accessories.
Did you know that you don't need to have your own accessories to be a home stager? If you follow the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Model I teach in my training program, you can charge a client to go shopping for them.
As part of my service, I'd also include providing new photos for his real estate listing. Again, you can charge extra for that.
I have no idea how long this home has already been on the real estate market without a sale. This home staging job will make an awesome addition to your home staging portfolio and could be a terrific transformation story to share with future clients, especially in this high income area.
Apply for this Long Island home staging job couldn't be easier. Simply complete the form at the Staging Diva Home Staging Project Referral Service. Please include "FSBO Home Staging Job Long Island" as the project location in the first line of the form.
This home staging job in Long Island will be referred first to members of the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers for free. In other words, there will be no referral fee for Directory members even though we're playing "match maker" for you.
In other words, you have nothing to lose applying for this position if you're in the Long Island or Suffolk County area, and everything to gain!

A crappy summer gave 2017 one of the worst U.S. box office performances in decades
(Photo: Chiabella James/Universal)
Hollywood had a pretty crappy summer last year, with predicted blockbusters like The Dark Tower, The Mummy, and Transformers: The Last Knight all failing to do much in the way of busting blocks. Now that we've got the actual numbers for the year's overall ticket sales, it turns out that said lethargy managed to infect the rest of the annual box office, too; despite what was, generally a pretty good year from a critical point of view, Variety is reporting that U.S. movie ticket sales dropped by 6 percent in 2017, making it one of the worst years in decades. (Really, though, it was probably just Rotten Tomatoes' fault.)
That 6 percent number may not sound huge, but it's worth remembering that it represents roughly $80 million, and makes 2017 the least successful U.S. movie year since 1995. Meanwhile, average ticket prices have never been higher; the continued prevalence of 3D showings, and the popularity of big cinematic events like Star Wars: The Last Jedi—complete with their big, cinematic price tags—meant that the average consumer (or their friends at MoviePass) ended up shelling out $8.97 per ticket in 2017, up from $8.65 the previous year.


BACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction (ED) shares similar modifiable risks factors with coronary artery disease (CAD). Lifestyle modification that targets CAD risk factors may also lead to improvement in ED. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy for cardiovascular (CV) risk factors on the severity of ED.
METHODS: A comprehensive search of multiple electronic databases through August 2010 was conducted using predefined criteria. We included randomized controlled clinical trials with follow-up of at least 6 weeks of lifestyle modification intervention or pharmacotherapy for CV risk factor reduction. Studies were selected by 2 independent reviewers. The main outcome measure of the study is the weighted mean differences in the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF-5) score with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random effects model.
RESULTS: A total of 740 participants from 6 clinical trials in 4 countries were identified. Lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy for CV risk factors were associated with statistically significant improvement in sexual function (IIEF-5 score): weighted mean difference, 2.66 (95% CI, 1.86-3.47). If the trials with statin intervention (n = 143) are excluded, the remaining 4 trials of lifestyle modification interventions (n = 597) demonstrate statistically significant improvement in sexual function: weighted mean difference, 2.40 (95% CI, 1.19-3.61).
CONCLUSION: The results of our study further strengthen the evidence that lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy for CV risk factors are effective in improving sexual function in men with ED.
I think that many patients and docs feel that ED is irreversible and only treated by sildafenil and other similar drugs. The knowledge that lifestyle measures and possibly statin drugs may also have a positive impact on sexual functioning could be an important motivating factor for some men.

When a freestanding emergency department comes to town, costs go up
by Jeff Falk , Rice University

Rather than functioning as substitutes for hospital-based emergency departments, freestanding emergency departments have increased local market spending on emergency care in three of four states' markets where they have entered, according to a new paper by experts at Rice University.
State policymakers and researchers should carefully track spending and use of emergency care as freestanding emergency departments disseminate, to better understand their potential health benefits and cost implications for patients, the researchers said. The study appears in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine.
Freestanding emergency departments deliver emergency care in a facility that is physically separate from an acute care hospital. They are commonly found in strip malls in urban parts of Texas.
"Proponents of freestanding emergency departments claim that these facilities can relieve the burden of overcrowded waiting rooms in hospital-based emergency departments," said Vivian Ho, lead author and the James A. Baker III Institute Chair in Health Economics and director of the Center for Health and Biosciences at Rice's Baker Institute for Public Policy. "We sought to test whether these facilities increase spending, because they might serve as supplements to traditional emergency departments rather than substitutes."
There have been numerous stories in the media of patients seeking care in these facilities, who were shocked when they later received bills totaling thousands of dollars.
"Consumers mistakenly thought that freestandings would be low-cost because they look so much like a neighborhood clinic, and facility staff often told patients that their care would be covered by their health insurance, when in fact it wasn't," said Ho, who is also a professor of economics at Rice and a professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
The researchers accessed the de-identified claims data for 2013 through 2017 from Arizona, Florida, North Carolina and Texas through Rice's participation in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Alliance for Health Research, which was established to engage leading U.S. health care researchers in collaborative efforts to explore critical health care issues. The collaboration provides researchers with access to HIPAA-compliant data from Blue Cross Blue Shield Axis, the largest collection of commercial insurance claims, medical professional and cost of care information, through a secure data portal.
They chose to examine claims from these four states, because BCBS has a relatively large market presence in them, and they also experienced significant entry of freestanding emergency departments in the past few years. The researchers aggregated the information on emergency department spending (both at hospitals and freestanding emergency departments) into 495 different local markets (Public Use Microdata Areas, or PUMAs) by quarter and year.
They then merged the spending data with counts of freestanding emergency departments by quarter and year in each local market, as well as demographic characteristics of the population in each PUMA. Finally, the researchers applied regression analysis to track changes in average emergency department spending as freestanding emergency department entry increased over time in each local market, controlling for sociodemographic changes that also occurred during the study period.
The researchers found that entry of an additional freestanding emergency department in a local market was associated with a 3.6 percentage point increase in emergency provider reimbursement per insured beneficiary in Texas, Florida and North Carolina. There was no change in spending associated with a freestanding emergency department's entry in Arizona. Entry of an additional freestanding emergency department was associated with an increase in emergency department utilization in Texas, Florida and Arizona, but not in North Carolina. The implied increases in utilization varied between roughly 3 and 5%. The estimated out-of-pocket payments for emergency care increased 3.6% with the entry of a freestanding emergency department in Texas, Florida and Arizona, but declined by 15.3 percentage points in North Carolina.
"Health care continues to account for an increasing share of the U.S. economy, and emergency care spending as a share total health care costs is also rising," Ho said. "Therefore it is troubling that in three of four states, entry of freestanding emergency departments results in higher spending, which may not yield significant health benefits. Given that previous studies suggest that much care provided by freestanding emergency departments could be delivered in lower-cost settings, policy makers should carefully regulate entry of these providers as well as their billing practices."
"We are pleased to bring transparency and insights to critical health issues, such as the rising cost of emergency care, and to work alongside Rice University and the eight other prestigious institutions participating in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Alliance for Health Research," said Maureen Sullivan, chief strategy and innovation officer for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. "Our priority is to make the data available so we can generate meaningful solutions that improve quality of care and affordability for all Americans."

St. Patrick's Day,
A World Away
Annette Murphy Johansson's stepdancers in the St. Patrick's Day parade on Kalakaua Ave. in Waikiki.
By Pat Bigold, Contributor
April / May 2004
Honolulu hosts the very last St. Patrick's Day parade on earth every year. No other parade is held closer to the International Dateline. It has an eclectic look with Polynesian school bands, Chinese lion dancers, beauty queens of various Pacific Island nationalities and even representatives of the British-themed Fox and Hounds Pub &Grub marching along-side Irish elements.
As Matthew FitzGerald, organizer of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick's annual Emerald Ball, puts it, the Irish could never go it alone in Hawaii anyway. They're too few in number to reject any help offered to carry off a celebration.
The March 17 parade owes its very start to a non-Irishman. Former Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi, who hails from Italian stock in Hartford, Connecticut, kick-started the event in 1969.
That ended the closest thing Hawaii's ever experienced to an Irish rebel movement. Dan Sullivan, a native of Worcester, Massachusetts who's been in Hawaii for 33 years, recalls he was one of a group of Irish insurgents who stayed one step ahead of the law while, under the cover of darkness, painting an illegal green line down the center of Waikiki Beach's main drag, Kalakaua Avenue.
Sullivan, a retired Department of Education employee, remains at large in Honolulu. He's a well-known organizer with the Clan Na Gael and Wild Shamrock associations in Hawaii.
The parade has had its share of Celtic eccentricity over the past three decades. Jack Sullivan (no relation to Dan), who left heavily Irish Brighton, Massachusetts, in 1957, cavorts through Waikiki as a leprechaun. He wields a shillelagh, wears green knickers, vest and elfin shoes and goes to the extreme of painting his tongue green.
"What's wonderful is the love and aloha everyone shares here with the Irish on March 17," said Sullivan.
"Jig This!" School of Irish Dance stepdancers in Waikiki's Kapiolani Park.
Donegal native John Ferguson, clad in an aloha shirt, serves up everything from Guinness to Bunratty Poteen from behind the counter at his downtown Honolulu Ferguson's Irish Pub. He sees strong sociocultural similarities between Hawaii and Ireland. "Ah, it's all the same here except the weather," said Ferguson, whose place is across the street from the harbor. "It's the same kind of slow pace here."
Belfast native Noel Trainor agrees. He's general manager of Hawaii's largest hotel (also one of the world's largest with 3,000 rooms on 22 acres), the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. "The people are socially the same here as in Ireland — they love to be with people," said Trainor, who came to the hotel in 1984. "They will `talk story' all day with you."
Ferguson said he knew his small, intimate pub across the street from the harbor would go over well when he opened it three years ago. Despite his lack of space, Ferguson often invites Hawaii's only step-dancing group to hold ceilis there.
"It's so narrow inside we have to dance by the bathroom door," chuckled locally-born Annette Murphy Johansson, who organized the group four years ago. Johansson (whose husband is from Sweden) runs the Jig This! School of Irish Dance. She has about 40 members ranging in age from five to 45, representing a rainbow of national origins. One of her best dancers is Thai-German Melanie Held. The group is sometimes accompanied by promising 15-year-old dancer/fiddler Audrey Knuth, whose parents moved here from Washington D.C.
Waikiki Beach has two Irish pubs. Connecticut native Bill Comerford and Rhode Island native Fred Remington, co-owners of the Irish Rose Saloon and Kelley O'Neil's, will give a gig to any vacationing Irish musician.
Comerford and Remington also recently acquired O'Toole's, an establishment on the outskirts of Honolulu's Chinatown with the look of a Dublin watering hole.
Murphy's Bar and Grill, located across the street from O'Toole's, has been in operation as an Irish-themed establishment since 1987 and hosts an annual St. Patrick's Day block party.
John Ferguson from Donegal in his Irish pub in Honolulu.
Celtic influence in Hawaii extends to Maui where Mulligan's Irish Pub and Restaurant holds a traditional session every Sunday night. Manager Kevin O'Kennedy plays the pennywhistle.
True to Hawaii's multi-ethnic Celtic thrust, the state's most experienced and talented Irish fiddler happens to be a Cherokee-French clinical psychologist.
Lisa Hancock Gomes who grew up in Woodstock, New York, has studied under fiddle legend Martin Hayes and has played at the Willie Clancy Festival. "Irish music resonates deep inside people," said Gomes. "You don't have to be Irish to appreciate the music."
The Irish are known to have been in Hawaii as early as 1794. The first two governors after statehood were Irish-Americans William F. Quinn (1959-62) and the late John A. Burns (1962-74). Maurice J. Sullivan, who founded Foodland, the state's first supermarket, immigrated from Clare. He eventually opened 100 retail stores in Hawaii before his death in 1998.
The current Honolulu police chief, Lee D. Donohue, is Irish-Korean. Donohue is representative of the islands' cultural melting pot, which has produced a number of prominent "hapa," or mixed racial background, Irish-Americans.
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Chris Naeole, born and raised on the north shore of Oahu, is Hawaiian-Irish. Former Baywatch actor and Honolulu native Jason Momoa is also Hawaiian-Irish with some German mixed in. Yet another Honolulu native often in the news, New York Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani, claims Irish in his blood along with Filipino, Samoan and Chinese. But the Irish-American who probably had the most universal impact on Hawaii was a Brooklyn-raised tough named John Joseph Patrick Ryan. He was better known as Jack Lord, whose Hawaii Five-0 series ran for 12 seasons on CBS and did wonders for the state's economy. He died in 1998.
Today's residents of Irish heritage represent only 5.9 percent of Hawaii's population. But, as in every other part of the world touched by the Gaels, the Irish of the 50th state have made their presence known.
THE LITTLE PEOPLE IN HAWAII
Something Hawaii has in common with Ireland is extensive mythology with similar characters. Both Ireland and Hawaii have "little people." Native Hawaiians attribute just as many magical powers and good deeds to the "menehunes" as the Irish do to the leprechauns.
The menehunes are never seen and that's because legend has it they do their best work at night. Many ancient stoneworks are supposed to have been crafted by the Polynesian wee folk who worked by the light of the moon.
Additionally, Ireland has the banshee and Hawaii has Madame Pele, the volcano goddess who is prone to sudden fury, devouring land and structures with molten lava, and sometimes appearing as an ominous old woman on dark, lonely highways. The traditional way of appeasing Madame Pele is by dropping a bottle of gin into the volcano. ♦

This afternoon I bagged Valle Crucis Park and treated myself to a long run on the old Watauga River Rd. instead. If you take the River Rd and start where the pavement turns to gravel and go to the intersection of Long Ridge Rd, it measures exactly 2 miles. From Long Ridge to the old mill and spillway site adds another mile. From the beginning to Hubert Thomas Rd is approximately 6 miles total. Because the route follows the river it is not only flat, but cool and scenic. I saw two other joggers, a handful of bikers, a walker, many cows, several farm dogs and a dead snake as I eased on down the road. Nope, I didn't run with my camera in hand. I haven't figured how to do that one yet ( but I am working on it ). Instead, I drove my Jeep up and down the road using my trip meter to measure distances. This scene is typical of Watauga River Rd. No special effects here either. I stopped down my aperature to something like f22 to make the sunburst effect. I also used a bit of on-camera fill-flash to help fill in just a bit of shadows--but that is asking alot from to flash to compete with the sun.

Only one more Tuesday tunes before the concert, I still have had some trouble finding some of the newer songs, so here are a couple of oldies but goodies.
I wish I had seen Matsuura live, too bad she graduated so many years ago, she was great. But this song is epic, and since no one can compare to Ayaya, I have doubts as to how good this could be sung by some of the newbies, but since it is sung by all I have hopes that it will be ok. This song is really hard to sing.
This song is so much fun!

Bhubaneswar: Amidst the protest from the opposition and a section of farmer's organisations across the State and the country, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday reiterated that farm bills are the need of the 21st century and the minimum support price (MSP) based procurement of agriculture crops from farmers will continue like before.
While addressing a presser, Pradhan said that the farm bills will benefit farmers and give them the freedom to market their produce. The bills will also help them increase their production along with enhancing the production-storage-marketing system, he said.
"Contract farming will increase the yields of farmers. As an alternative to the Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) networks, an accessible and competitive trading system has begun," said Pradhan adding that the Centre has already begun expenditure of Rs 1 lakh crore towards the Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure.
Speaking on the MSP claims of Pradhan, the ruling-BJD MLA Pratap Deb said, "Had the Government of India made MSP commitment in the bills, there wouldn't have such protest mindset among people. No doubt the government is giving MSP now, but how long it will continue is a big concern."
Though the government is claiming that the new bills will eliminate middlemen, contractual farming will give birth to big and corporate middlemen - it means there will be no elimination of the role of middlemen in the entire process, Deb added.
"If the Centre is saying that the MSP and mandis will continue, why it is not clearly mentioning that no one can buy farmers' produce at a price below the fixed MSP. The government should make buying of agricultural products below the MSP a punishable offence," said Odisha Congress chief Niranjan Patnaik.

I have two entities, and a associative entity between those two (this associative entity, inherits the primary keys of the other entities).
Now, I want to list all the entrys of the second entity, with checklists true, if they exist in the associative class.
Which is the best way to do so?
Ps: it wasn´t probably the best explanation, but if you have any doubts, please ask me.
Could you please help me understand your problem a little better?
This isn't my espace but I think its better for you to understand my problem.
I have users, and I have activities. The checkboxes must have true if there is an antru in the ActivityofUser entity with the ID of the user and that activity.
I hope this example OML does what you need.
Really thank's for your help. Great Advanced query.


SALA Book Club - "A Confederacy of Dunces"
This month we're reading the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.
"A Confederacy of Dunces is an American comic masterpiece. John Kennedy Toole's hero, one Ignatius J. Reilly, is "huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter. His story bursts with wholly original characters, denizens of New Orleans' lower depths, incredibly true-to-life dialogue, and the zaniest series of high and low comic adventures" (Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times).
This month Sharí will be hosting at Crave Cafe in Studio City.


We love helping local companies make amazing websites – and it's a real treat to collaborate with like-minded folks who have a clear vision for their online brand!
Recently, we had the pleasure of working with our friends at Rivertown Creative Agency, a marketing & creative agency based in Danville, VA. They know what it's like to make eye-catching, creative content and designs for their clients, and when they needed a great site in a hurry, they turned to our Jumpstart designers to get the ball rolling and launch fast.

The Free Pizza crew! We are huge fans of their work, and they are huge supporters of us, as well!
Why did you choose to get a Jumpstart?
We wanted the full Zibster experience! We designed our old website from scratch and had some issues. So when we discovered that Zibster would help jumpstart the design for such a reasonable price, we hopped right on it!
Was it easy working with Zibster?
It was! We sent all of our content and within a week we had our site!
We signed up and within a day we were assigned a representative. He guided us through the steps of getting our content uploaded and kept us in the loop for each step. Upon getting all of our content positioned and laid out, our representative made sure we didn't have any questions or concerns. They even followed up with us after our launch to see if things were still going great!
How would you rate our team, builder, and tools?
Above and beyond customer service, the builder is relatively simple to use, and the 9 AM - 8 PM hours are great for questions and inquiries.
What's the future of Rivertown?
Hopefully one day, the two of us working full-time in an office in the heart of downtown Danville. Until then, stay tuned!

Kefir! What is it and why is everyone talking about it?
Since I started to study nutrition, I have been introduced to the world of prebiotics and probiotics. Quite frankly, I had no idea about it! I had no idea that there are millions of bacteria in the stomach that interact directly with the digestive and immune system. What?! How did I miss something this important all these years of my life? When I was first introduced to prebiotics and probiotics at the start of last semester, everyone else in my class seemed to have heard about them or the benefits of consuming them on a regular basis. I quickly learned that although I had never used the term "probiotic" before, there were a variety of different foods I was already eating in my diet that contained "pre" and "pro" biotics. Some of these foods are: yogurt, kimchi (two things I love dearly), sour cream, sauerkraut and miso soup. I then started to hear about all the other great fermented foods that I have never heard of, such as kambutcha and kefir. Before we go any further lets talk about what kefir is.

I would like to change an IP address with netsh interface ip set address "Wireless Network Connection" static 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1 with Python script, but I need a network interface name.
Is it possible to have this information like we can have a hostname with socket.gethostname()? Or I can change an IP address with Python in other way?

A: I don't know of a Python netsh API. But it should not be hard to do with a pair of subprocess calls. First issue netsh interface show interface, parse the output you get back, then issue your set address command.
Or am I missing the point?

Shawn Lee's Incredible Tabla Band - Apache b/w Bongo Rock (7" - Black Vinyl)
The original Incredible Bongo Band's "Bongo Rock" is firmly cemented into musical history having provided the oft sampled (and completely irresistible) "Apache" drum break for a million and one producers to cut up. Also known as Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band, the project was born in 1972. They made two albums of funky, instrumental music filled with covers of popular songs of the day and heavily relying on bongo drums, conga drums, rock drums and brass.
Over 3 decades after its inception UK producer, and avid record collector, Shawn Lee was marveling at the fact that there had never been an Indian style, sitar and tabla-heavy, version of the Incredible Bongo Band masterpiece "Apache." "Such an obvious track, I still find it hard to believe that one doesn't already exist. (It is hella' obscure if it does…) "Apache" is one of the greatest and most famous drum-breaks of all time," says Lee.
Lee has attempted to replay, recreate, and capture all of the sonic characteristics of the original recordings. Viner left Lee with simple tunes to cover, but the Bongo Band used sophisticated arrangements and his all-star line-up of guests played killer performances throughout the album. Lee couldn't find any Beatles to recruit and record, instead he called on the talents of tabla player Prithpal Rajput aka Cyber of the Asian Dub Foundation, and Style Council keyboard-man Mick Talbot to help realize his eccentric vision. With the utmost respect in mind Lee has re-thought Viners drum-driven masterpiece, presenting it in an Indian-funk style that could easily be confused with the vintage release Lee was bemused to never have previously found.
