Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People Jim Daly launched Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County on Thursday 17th May 2018. The launch took place in St Lawrence's Church, DIT Grangegorman, Dublin and was attended by a large number of those involved in the drafting of the plan, including community and voluntary groups from across Dublin North City & County. Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County, is the new local Suicide Prevention Action Plan. It is strongly aligned to the national Connecting for Life Strategy, articulating local implementation of national actions, and committing to actions that respond to our particular local needs, strengths and challenges in Dublin North City & County.
Connecting for Life, Ireland's National Strategy to Reduce Suicide 2015 – 2020 sets out a vision of an Ireland where fewer lives are lost through suicide, and where communities and individuals are empowered to improve their mental health and wellbeing. This involves preventative and awareness-raising work with a "whole of society" approach, including supportive work with local communities and targeted approaches for priority groups.
Mary Walshe, Chief Officer (CHO Dublin North City and County) said "In communities across Dublin North City & County, the far-reaching effects of suicide on families, friends, classmates and workplaces are severe and devastating. Suicide is one of the most complex and difficult to understand of human behaviours." She added "By bringing together all aspects of our health and social care system alongside our education, justice and community partners, we are working together to implement meaningful, evidence informed improvements to the approaches and services that we offer to people at risk of suicide and self-harm. Connected services mean that more people can get the right help, at the right time and in the right place."
Angela Walsh, Head of Service for Mental Health (CHO Dublin North City and County) said '"In developing Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County, we have listened to the experiences of the local community, learned from the knowledge of local front line workers, and brought the combined expertise of local service providers together. This source of rich information has helped us to formulate ambitious yet achievable actions to continue our work with local communities to address the impact of suicide."
John Meehan, HSE Assistant National Director with responsibility for Mental Health Strategy and Planning and the National Office for Suicide Prevention said "Local implementation, that includes empowering communities, is a core component of the Connecting for Life strategy. We need to connect with ourselves, our families, our communities and the services on offer. Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County has been led by the HSE but developed in partnership with key local statutory and non-statutory groups. The result is a new plan, which sets out the steps many different organisations, including the HSE, will take to realise the vision of a region where fewer lives are lost through suicide."
While the development of the plan was led by HSE Mental Health Services, it will be implemented by the entire community. Minister Jim Daly said, "I am delighted to launch Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County. This plan recognises the critical role that communities and local structures play in suicide prevention, and reinforces and supports this role. The supports that can be given to vulnerable individuals from the community, such as social support, follow-up care, tackling stigma and supporting those bereaved by suicide, can make a crucial difference to a person in distress. This plan, tailored to North Dublin's specific needs, is a welcome addition to helping us care for our community effectively."
An extensive consultation process was undertaken to develop the Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County Plan. The consultation process proactively sought to capture the knowledge and experience of statutory, non-statutory and community stakeholders to inform the Suicide Prevention Action Plan. During October and November 2017, four online surveys were live for members of the public, service providers, GPs and Psychiatrists. 336 people completed the surveys, contributing over 3000 points of information and recommendations.
The Connecting for Life Dublin North City and County Consultation Report is also available, here.

Appellation / sub-region
Zalto Denk-Art Bordeaux Glass
The Bordeaux glass is recommended for weightier style reds, probably our most widely used glass when tasting in house, this glass is great for many different wines. The large bowl helping aerate and soften tannins whilst accentuating the wine's depth and concentration. The Bordeaux glass is the ideal choice for Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Bordeaux or Rhône style blends and many other red wines. Surprisingly, it is also the glass of choice for oaked Chardonnay, the shape of the bowl accentuating the balance of ripe fruits and oak.

"Two Hands Wines have become a beacon for artisan, single vineyard Shiraz in Barossa Valley as well as other premier regions in South Australia. Winning admiration from leading critics around the globe such as Robert Parker, James Halliday and Jancis Robinson demonstrates that the wines are far from one-dimensional"
Two Hands Wines have become a beacon for artisan, single vineyard Shiraz in Barossa Valley as well as other premier regions in South Australia. Winning admiration from leading critics around the globe such as Robert Parker, James Halliday and Jancis Robinson demonstrates that the wines are far from one-dimensional in their outstanding balance, structure and elegance. Further testament of this came in 2012 when the estate was named in Wine Spectator's Top 100 for the 10th consecutive year.
Both from négociant fruit in McLaren Vale, The Lily's Garden and Bella's Garden Shiraz are single vineyards expression of Shiraz combining ripe black fruit wrapped in chocolate and smoky richness. Lily's Garden is widely regarded as the more approachable of the two when young with Bella's Garden having the staying power of a premium red Rhone, avoiding the often jammy character found in other examples from the region.
Taking things a notch higher is the Zippy's Block 99% Shiraz, from a prime Barossa single vineyard boasting immense power and intensity. The 2005 vintage was awarded an outstanding 99 points from critic Jay Miller with an estimated drinking window of 20-25 years. Also part of the estate holdings, but managed separately, is the Branson Coach House that was purchased in 2001. Here the deep clay soils aid the ripening of mostly Shiraz fruit grown in rare single vineyard sites. The Shiraz has rich fruit with spicy notes on the finish in a hedonistic yet controlled delivery.
Two Hands were featured more times than any other producer on the Barossa Super 100 Classification, a list of some of the most highly regarded and collectable wines from Barossa drawn up by the Barossa Grape and Association, which saw its inaugural launch in 2019. Two hands have have an incredible eight wines on the list including their My Hands, which is one of only seven wines featured in the above $500 dollars category.

A land of rolling hills and ancient vines, in the heart of South Australia, Barossa is arguably Australia's most recognised wine region, but has not been without its ups and downs.
Barossa's story began in the mid 1800s when a group of Silesian Lutherans, fleeing religious persecution, settled in the region and began working the land of Barossa's largest land owner George Fife Angas. The settlers took to growing fruit and due to the climate in the region, grapes were most ideally suited and toward the end of the 1800s, several wineries had been established. Distinctly Germanic names such a Johann Henschke, Oscar Seppelt of Seppeltsfield and Kaesler that are leading names in the Barossa wine industry today are evidence of these early pioneers, and many are continuing today through several generations of the same family.
The wines were originally produced for religious and home use but it didn't take long before they were being made commercially and by the start of the 20th Century wine was being exported back to England. The demand for fortified wine was huge and this coupled with the long journey on water, fortified wines dominated Barossa's wine market right up until the end of the 1960s, but this would lead to a crisis that would set the industry into decline. As demand for fortified wines dried up, many growers were left unprofitable and the South Australian Government introduced the vine pull scheme, uprooting many of Barossa's ancient vines during the 1980s. It took the efforts of some of the regions new faces of the time to bring the industry back by paying the growers above market value for their grapes, and saving the old vines that have become a hallmark of Barossa wine.
It is Barossa's ancient vines that have shaped the region's style and reputation and the forward thinking attitude of the region's producers is one that is only beginning to filter through to the rest of the wine world. The winemakers of the 1980s helped to revive Barossa's heritage, paving the way for the next generation of Barossa winemakers and this balance between heritage and progression has continued with an unparalleled energy through the region's newest and brightest stars of the 21st Century.
The Barossa Valley is warm and dry with low rainfall and low humidity, which can lead to a risk of drought during the growing season. It's lower in altitude and is typified by gentle, rolling hills and valleys and is home to some of the world's oldest clusters of vines, some of which are over 125 years old. These old vines are very low yielding and produce exceptionally concentrated fruit which is exploited by producers like Greenock Creek, Hobbs and Standish to make very rich and powerful wines that due to their concentration, often reach high levels of alcohol. Although several varieties are grown across Barossa, by far the most widely planted is Shiraz, producing rich, fruit forward wines. In the past, Barossa's reputation has suffered from this rich style of wine, with consumers and producers favouring wines from cooler areas of Australia. However, a wave of smaller, artisan wineries began to pop up during the 1980's and 1990's and brought a resurgence to this region with trailblazers like Torbreck and St Hallett.

Ibn Hajar on Obeying and Disobeying those in Authority
January 8, 2020 January 12, 2020 by Abdul Malik, posted in Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, Judges, Politics, Qur'an, Rulers, Shari'ah, Uncategorized
The following is from the translated meaning of the Qur'an (4:59):
"O Believers, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you; and if you have a dispute concerning any matter, refer it to Allah and the Messenger if you are [in truth] believers in Allah and the Last Day." [Rendered by Shaykh Gibril Haddad]
The above verse is cited by Imam Bukhārī in his Ṣaḥīḥ as the heading of the first chapter of Kitāb al-Aḥkām (Book of Judgments). Ibn Ḥajar al-'Asqalānī says in his commentary of this section of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī:
'The subtlety of repeating the verb for the Prophet – upon him blessings and peace – in Obey Allah and obey the Messenger but not for and those in command among you – although the one being obeyed in reality is Allah – is that the sources by which one determines one's legal responsibility are the Qur'ān and the Sunna. It is as if Allah Most High were saying: "Obey Allah in whatever He textually stipulates for you in the Qur'ān and obey the Messenger in whatever he elucidates from the Qur'ān for you and textually stipulates in the Sunna," or "Obey Allah in all He commands you in the revelation instituted for worship-through-recitation, and obey the Messenger in all he commands you in the revelation that is other than the Qur'ān." Al-Ṭībī said (d. 743/1342): "He repeated the verb and obey the Messenger as a sign that the Prophet – upon him blessings and peace – is obeyed independently, but he did not repeat it for and those of you who are in authority as a sign that some of them do not have to be obeyed. Then He expounded this by saying and if you have a dispute concerning any matter, as if saying: if they do not act according to right, then do not obey them, and refer to whatever you differed about to the judgment of Allah and His Messenger." '
[Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar al-'Asqalānī, فتح الباري شرح صحيح البخاري (Fatḥ al-Bārī Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī), translated in Integrated Encyclopedia of the Qur'ān (IEQ) by Shaykh Gibril Fouad Haddad, Sherwood Park and Seattle, Centre for Islamic Sciences, vol. 1 p. 279. For brief biographical details of Ibn Ḥajar, see the previous post on this blog entitled Ibn Hajar on Arab Rulers]
The meaning of those in authority among you is elaborated by al-Bayḍāwī (d. 684/1286) in his tafsīr (commentary) of 4:59: "it comprises caliphs, judges, and military commanders … as long as they stand for truth" [see IEQ, p. 278].
Also, Ibn Kathīr cites the following in his tafsīr of the verse in question:
"Umm al-Ḥusayn said that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving a speech during the Farewell Ḥajj, in which he said:
'Even if a slave was appointed over you, and he rules you with Allah's Book, then listen to him and obey him.' [related in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim]." (Ibn Kathīr, vol. 2, p. 497)

Episode 322 - Live from the SF Sketchfest
in Who Charted?
It is very disappointing that the updates on Origin Story have seemed to just fade off. If the project is scrapped the right thing to do would be to refund the money your loyal fans donated. It is safe to assume that you are far more wealthy than most, if not all of the fans who raised over a hundred thousand dollars to help you pursue your dream. It is great that other opportunities have presented themselves to you, but it is downright rude to beg for a huge sum of money only to abandon ship. At this point, I am embarrassed to have fattened the pocket of an already rich celebrity. Fact is, rich people should not crowdfund projects, and especially those they aren't fully committed to completing. Do the right thing and refund the indiegogo money. There are frankly more worthwhile causes that money could be supporting right now.
It wasn't THAT long ago that I heard Kulap giving an update on the documentary on a different podcast. I assume it's been slower going than expected but it hasn't been abandoned.
Episode 128 — Hashtag Morris
Just listened to this ep for the first time. Kept thinking that he sounded so much like Harris, so of course he was good friends with him.
So sad when he started joking about Harris's (not yet a reality) death
Episode 283 - Spiritual Toddler
Hahaha...I'm getting mixed messages from Scotty Too Hotty and Kremer...should I use proflowers.com or not?!
EPISODE 258 — Spit It and Quit It
So its sexist because I happen to be highly annoyed with a woman's voice and think that a man in the same room, containing 3 other people, has a weird voice but I don't find it annoying?
side note, I think that this particular woman doesn't want to be taken 'seriously' because she seemed set on displaying what a "crazy chick" she is, she's a comedic actress, and what I found annoying about her voice was heightened at certain times and completely not present at others, which tells me its a bit of a character that she enjoys playing.
Is it a problem that Howard's voice makes it hard to take him seriously? I guess not, he has a dick
Well, but you seemed to be saying at first that it's not sexist to think she has a weird voice because Howard has a weird voice as well--but then by saying you liked his voice but didn't like hers, you seemed to be arguing completely against your point. I just didn't understand why you would even bring that up.
Obviously, people can like and dislike whatever voices they want. But it's a problem when large groups of women who happen to speak a certain way are dismissed by many men and women simply because of their voices.
I'm with you, I made fun of Jersey Shore cast member voices years back, and this guest voice was right in that vein. To me, it sounded like she puts forth the character of that loud girl at a party who needs to sound the loudest and drunkest even if she hasn't had a drink yet. Let's just say I felt that she was likely perfectly cast on a show with that name.
I'm not perfect, I talk way too much sometimes, and I get vocal criticism so I'll give it too. I'm not going to feel like I'm being sexist, because Howard has a weird as hell voice too, the difference is that I enjoy it and it brings me happiness rather than rolling my eyes at no one
But...that does come off as a little sexist, right? You're saying a man's "weird as hell" voice doesn't bother you, but this woman's voice does.
It's okay to not love certain people's voices, but it's a problem when huge groups of women are not taken seriously because their voice has vocal fry or they uptalk. It should be the content of what a person is saying that matters.
(This is also my only problem with Lake Bell's otherwise wonderful "In A World")
Lil Davey Huntsberger's New Podcast
in Professor Blastoff
Ooh it was included in Podmass!
http://www.avclub.com/detail/sonia-manzanos-real-life-influence-sesame-streets--225205
Has anyone been listening to Space Cave? I'm listening to the first episode right now and I'm enjoying it! He gets to stay on topic with his knowledgeable guest and it's very interesting!
I also really enjoy the intro music.
Am I allowed to talk about a non-earwolf podcast on the earwolf forums?
QUESTIONS FOR SCOTT RE: HOWL
in Comedy Bang Bang
It's likely that I will be subscribing, but two things (mostly already mentioned here) sadden me a little bit:
1) That podcasts that have ended, such as Professor Blastoff, will eventually completely disappear behind the pay wall. Would it be possible to have some of the most recent episodes always available? I understand Analyze Phish is safe, which is nice. But what about Tiny Calves, Beach Poop, and The Wig?!
2) That the commercials might be disappearing. I hope there's an option in the Howl app to listen to the commercials! I enjoy the handwork most of the podcasters put into them! I don't want to lose Howard Kremer's goofy readings.
EPISODE 243 — An Inconvenient Convenient Store
Natasha and Howard must not have seen 50 Cent on The Nightly Show...
EPISODE 217 — Goodbye
Finished listening to this last night. I'm glad they did a "goodbye" show but this one was a little bit of a bummer note to end on. I feel like the show deserved a better send-off. Of course, that would take a lot of time and effort to put together and they're ending it because they literally don't have time. It would have been cool if Aaron called in or something.
The end when Kyle wanted to call Mother and David immediately said "I wanna get out of here" was just .. a weird way to end the whole thing. Not that I don't understand where everyone is coming from, but .. yeah.
I, too, was hoping for an Aaron call or something along those lines (pizza eating contest, Name That Punky, etc). But maybe what the hosts needed was to honestly express their sadness over the show ending, and didn't have it in themselves to perform any of their more entertaining bits.
I appreciate that David and Kyle seem pretty bummed over the show's ending, haha.
Also, the final tweets from the Professor Blastoff account were pretty sweet and maybe would leave a better taste in your mouth.
Goodbye favorite podcast...
I think I could accept the ending of ProBlast better if I knew Tig, Kyle, David, and Aaron would still be hanging out together. Don't drift apart, you guys! Haha.
We can't control that, or course, but can we at least pester them to have a Super Bowl pizza eating contest as Tig mentioned?
EPISODE 216 — Optogenetics
Gosh darn it this episode was so great that I am now extra saddened that the podcast is ending. I understand if they don't want to, but I would listen the heck out of just Kyle and David--they've been seeming to get along a lot better lately!
And what a charming, knowledgable guest!
RIP Professor Blastoff
Great now I'm tearing up in Starbucks.
I was nervous the end was approaching--but was still shocked to hear the news today. I was just wishing Aaron would return, and now instead none of them will be returning.
It was great seeing the Blastoff gang in Tig's documentary. Now that scene (does this count as a spoiler?) with David, Kyle, Aaron, and Tig jumping up and down shirtless on the hill will seem extra bittersweet.
EPISODE 191 — Drizzle, No Apologies
in improv4humans with Matt Besser
so any time female gender is part of the context of an insult it is hate-speech and misogyny?
...yes?
Episode 211 — Flatulence
For those about to comment:
Thank you, I was about to comment!
EPISODE 235 — Vision Impaired, Still Prepared
Great ep so far, but I have to pause to say one thing:
Mad Max is about nothing and is vapid?! What?! I've seen few action movies that are more meaningful than Fury Road
EPISODE 210 — Anticipation
I hope people didn't give up on this episode because of sound quality issues. It was all worth it for MOTHER!
Episode 202 — Pickup Artist
I felt a little bad for the guy but NOPE there are much more worthy subjects of my pity than him
I will always appreciate David thanks to this ep. And oh my gosh Ross is somehow behaving even more disgustingly on Twitter right now.
I usually hate to criticize guests on the forums, for fear that they will read it, but...
What an oblivious, misogynistic guest. And I was willing to give him a chance at first, when he was so adamant that he wasn't like most scummy pick up artists. But then he just got scummier and scummier.
Thank goodness for the Blastoff crew, especially David, for not letting this guy get away with what he was saying.
EPISODE 336 — NOT Farts and Procreation 4
Cried. Laughed laughed laughed. Cried. And then cried some more while reading everybody's comments.
The part that really got to me was when Harris brought up "Riddle Me This." I don't know if Scott was only pretending to be surprised that Harris listens to the podcast or not, but it was so touching.
Episode 184 — Reader Mail
Welp, looks like most of us really appreciate David and don't want him to ever feel like he has to leave. :>
I'm saddened to read this kind of criticism. Not every story is meant to be lough out loud funny. I really appreciated his story.
Also--David barely reacted to what Kyle said. Why is he getting called out for it so much?

Home Banner Stories Prevention of teenage pregnancies declared a 'national priority'
Prevention of teenage pregnancies declared a 'national priority'
Dindeth Ditablan
The government had declared the prevention of teenage pregnancies as a "national priority."
Under Executive Order (EO) 141 issued on June 25 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte, the government stressed the need to implement measures that will address the root causes of the rising number of adolescent pregnancies.
"The State shall mobilize existing coordinative and legal mechanisms related to the prevention of adolescent pregnancies, and to strengthen the adolescent's capacity to make autonomous and informed decisions about their reproductive and sexual health by ensuring access to comprehensive sexuality education and reproductive health and rights services," the EO read.
Duterte made the decision, as he acknowledged that childbearing in adolescences carries "increased" risk of health problems for both mother and child, such as anemia, sexually transmitted infections, and postpartum hemorrhage.
The Philippines has recorded a total of 180,916 live births among adolescents aged 10 to 19 in 2019, according to the data from the Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
The figure is equivalent to 495 live births per day in the 10 to 19 age group.
Only 3 percent of all live births within the adolescent age group are fathered by men of the same age group, based on the January 2020 Policy Brief by the United Nations Population Fund Philippines. Such pregnancies, according to the briefer, may be a result of "coercion and unequal power relations between girls and older men."
A 2016 study by the United Nations Population Fund Philippines found that adolescents lose an aggregate lifetime earnings of about P33 billion due to early childbearing.
"The number of adolescent pregnancies are expected to rise, as girls already living in dysfunctional homes spend more time with their households as a result of the [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic and are thereby more exposed to abuse," EO 141 said.
To address teenage pregnancies, all government agencies and instruments are directed to identify and implement practicable interventions such as comprehensive sexuality education, education and employment opportunities for young people, and health promotion through media and communications.
"In the implementation of the identified programs and interventions, all concerned agencies and instrumentalities shall maximize the use of digital and online platforms to reach adolescents and young people, and raise awareness on the protection and promotion of reproductive health and rights," the order read.
State departments and offices are also directed to empower their regional and field offices and strengthen coordinative mechanism with local government units, and civil society organizations to reach adolescents in geographically-isolated and –depressed areas such as island municipalities, upland communities, hard-to-reach areas, and conflict-affected areas.
Youth councils are also enjoined to develop interventions and implement programs to prevent all known causes of adolescent pregnancies.
The Human Development and Poverty Reduction (HPDR) Cabinet Cluster and other relevant agencies are tasked to assist youth councils in implementing programs aimed at educating the youth on adolescent sexual and reproductive health, providing youth-friendly and rights-based measures, formulating retention strategies, and following-up on pregnant girls or young mothers.
Under EO 141, the National Youth Commission is directed to establish a forum for continuing dialogue between the government and the youth sector on the proper planning and evaluation of policies, programs, and projects affecting the youth.
The Philippine Commission on Women and Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM) is also ordered to educate leaders, parents, and other community members about evidence-based strategies to reduce, if not eliminate, adolescent pregnancy, and improve adolescent reproductive health.
"The POPCOM shall consolidate a Comprehensive Action Plan Towards the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancies the different initiatives of all government agencies and institutions," it said.
Sixty days after the issuance of EO 141, the HPDR Cabinet Cluster is mandated to report to the Office of the President (OP) the mechanisms effected to implement the order.
The HDPR Cabinet Cluster is also required to submit annual reports to the OP on the implementation of EO 141.
The funding for the implementation of EO 141 will be charged against the allocation for Gender and Development in the respective budgets of concerned agencies, and as may be warranted, against sources that will be identified by the Department of Budget and Management, as may be necessary.
EO 141, which was made public just on Tuesday, takes effect immediately upon its complete publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation.

Сабинские войны — войны римлян с сабинами в VIII—III веках до н. э.

Войны царского времени

Война Ромула

Сабины, наряду с латинами и этрусками, были непосредственными соседями Рима, поэтому вооруженные столкновения с ними имели место с самого начала римской истории. Как известно, первым событием после убийства Рема было именно похищение сабинянок, которое привело к войнам с Цениной, Крустумерием, Антемнами и сабинским правителем Титом Тацием (Сабинская война). По легенде, конфликт с сабинами завершился примирением и переселением части сабинов на Квиринал, а Тит Таций стал соправителем Ромула. В этом предании отражены стойкие представления римлян о смешанном латино-сабинском характере древнейшей римской общины. Среди современных исследователей нет единства по поводу хронологии сабинского проникновения в Рим, однако, многие признают, что оно могло происходить с самого начала римской истории; некоторые даже допускают, что Тит Таций мог быть реальным лицом, в отличие от явно мифического Ромула.

Войны Тулла Гостилия
Следующая война состоялась в правление Тулла Гостилия, после победы римлян над Альба-Лонгой. Сабины, которые, по словам Тита Ливия, в то время «лишь этрускам уступали по численности и воинской мощи», опасаясь возросших сил римлян, обратились за поддержкой к этрускам, но получили отказ. Вейенты остались верны договору, заключенному с Ромулом, а прочие города не были заинтересованы в войне с Римом. В Этрурии удалось собрать некоторое количество добровольцев и наемников. Тулл объявил сабинам войну и вторгся в их земли. В сражении у Злодейского леса (silva Malitiosa) римляне, благодаря превосходству в коннице, одержали решительную победу.

Дионисий Галикарнасский дает более подробное описание. По его словам, война продолжалась в течение двух лет. В первый год стороны сошлись в сражении, понесли большие потери, но ни одна не смогла добиться победы. На следующий год Тулл разгромил сабинов при Эрете. Исход этого сражения также долгое время был неясен, и римляне одержали победу только после того, как царь дал обет учредить праздники в честь Сатурна и Опс (Сатурналии и Опалии), а также удвоить количество салиев. Тулл Гостилий справил свой третий триумф, а с сабинами заключил мир, заставив их вернуть пленных и награбленное, а также выплатить контрибуцию.

Когда Тулл начал войну с латинами, сабины нарушили договор, разграбили пограничные районы, а затем решили выступить против римлян, заключив союз с латинами. Римский царь их опередил. Договорившись о перемирии с латинскими городами, он всеми силами обрушился на сабинов, и разгромил их у Злодейского леса, благодаря удачной кавалерийской атаке. В ходе преследования большое число врагов было уничтожено.

Война Анка Марция
В правление Анка Марция Дионисий помещает маловразумительный рассказ ещё об одной войне с сабинами, вероятно, являющийся дублетом предыдущего. По его словам какие-то сабины из какого-то богатого города, название которого он не называет, устроили набеги на римскую территорию, а затем выступили с большим войском. Снова, как и в прошлый раз, римляне одолели врага в жестокой битве, и учинили большую резню. Ливий ничего подобного не сообщает.

Войны Тарквиния Древнего
В правление Тарквиния Древнего произошла новая война. Ливий пишет об одном конфликте, случившемся между двумя латинскими войнами, а Дионисий о двух. Сабинское войско перешло Аниен, кровопролитное сражение не выявило победителя. Проведя дополнительный набор в кавалерию, Тарквиний вновь выступил против сабинов. По словам Дионисия, сабины и их этрусские союзники разбили лагери близ Фиден, у слияния Аниена и Тибра, наведя через Аниен наплавной мост. Римляне пустили по течению горящие плоты и уничтожили эту переправу, после чего атаковали оба лагеря и захватили их. По словам Ливия, в этих боях опять отличилась конница. Дионисий пишет, что с сабинами был заключен 6-летний мир. По утверждению Ливия, именно тогда римляне захватили Коллацию и земли к западу от неё, но по словам Дионисия, Коллация была взята в ходе предыдущей латинской войны.

Когда перемирие истекло, сабины попытались вмешаться в большую войну, которую римляне вели с этрусками, но не успели, так как римляне разбили этрусков под Эретом, и те запросили мира. Война с сабинами продолжалась пять лет, пока римляне не добились победы в сражении, где этрусскими союзными войсками командовал Аррунт Тарквиний Коллатин, а латинами Сервий Туллий. За эту победу Тарквиний справил свой третий триумф (585 год до н. э.), а на следующий год заключил с сабинами мир на очень мягких условиях.

Война Тарквиния Гордого
Тарквиний Гордый также воевал с сабинами. Одержав победу, он обратился против вольсков, а тем временем два сабинских отряда вторглись на римскую территорию и встали у Эрета и Фиден. Вернувшись с частью войска, царь благодаря хитрости разгромил сабинов под Эретом, а те, что стояли под Фиденами, сами сдались. Ливий не сообщает об этой войне, но в Триумфальных фастах победа Тарквиния над сабинами указана.

Война 505—502 годов до н. э.

В 505 году до н. э. сабины, посчитавшие, что свержение монархии делает прежние договоры недействительными, снова взялись за оружие. Война, продолжавшаяся с переменным успехом три года, завершилась, по словам Дионисия, победой римлян.

В 501 году до н. э. в Риме произошли беспорядки с участием сабинов, переросшие в настоящее уличное сражение. По словам Ливия, причиной было то, что сабинские юноши во время игр увели у римлян нескольких девок. Вероятно, конфликт был более серьезным, так как из-за него впервые назначили диктатора (Тита Ларция Флава) и едва не объявили войну.

Война 495—494 годов до н. э.
В 495 году до н. э. сабины предприняли новую попытку захватить Рим. К городу подошло большое войско, а часть сабинов, проникшая в город под предлогом участия в празднике, намеревалась ударить защитникам в спину. Консул Сервилий разгромил сабинскую армию, после чего в Риме была проведена облава на сабинов. Ливий сообщает, что это была не столько война, сколько набег, и его отразили бывший диктатор Постумий и консул Сервилий, и таким образом военные действия продолжались всего один день.

Провести набор войск для продолжения войны в 495 году до н. э. не удалось, так как плебеи ненавидели консула Аппия Клавдия. В 494 году до н. э., когда военные действия пришлось одновременно вести с вольсками, эквами и сабинами, а в самом Риме началась первая плебейская сецессия, диктатором был назначен Маний Валерий Волуз. Сабины заключили союз с медуллийцами, отпавшими от Рима. Так как сабины представляли наибольшую угрозу, диктатор направился против них и нанес жестокое поражение, прорвав ударом кавалерии середину вражеского строя, после чего пехота довершила разгром и захватила сабинский лагерь. Валерий справил триумф.

Война 475 года до н. э.

В 475 году до н. э. сабины поддержали вейентов, но были разгромлены в сражении при Вейях.

Война 470—467 годов до н. э.
Пользуясь очередным политическим кризисом в Риме, сабины и эквы совершили масштабный набег и опустошили римскую территорию, увезя огромную добычу. Против сабинов был направлен консул Тиберий Эмилий Мамерк, разграбивший их земли. Сражение между римлянами и сабинами имело неопределенный исход.

В 468 году до н. э. сабины вновь предприняли крупный набег, и были отброшены почти от самых Коллинских ворот и стен Рима. Консул Сервилий совершил ответный набег. Сабины укрылись в городах и на бой не вышли, поэтому римляне ограничились разграблением их округи.

Согласно Дионисию, в 467 году до н. э. Эмилий Мамерк совершил новое вторжение в земли сабинов и снова их опустошил (если это сообщение не является дублетом кампании 470 года до н. э.).

Заговор Гердония

В 460 году до н. э. сабины в последний раз попытались овладеть Римом. Отряд под командованием Аппия Гердония захватил Капитолий и несколько дней удерживал его. Только своевременная помощь, оказанная тускуланским диктатором Луцием Мамилием, позволила разгромить сабинов.

Война 458—457 годов до н. э.
В 458 году до н. э., одновременно с новым нападением эквов, сабины с большим войском вторглись на римскую территорию. Дионисий пишет, что они дошли до Фиден, а по словам Ливия, «огромное войско сабинов, опустошая все вокруг, подошло чуть ли не к стенам Рима: разорены были окрестности, и страх охватил Город». Против них был направлен консул Гай Навций, который встал лагерем у Эрета и начал опустошать набегами земли сабинов. Когда его коллега Луций Минуций попал в окружение у Альгида, Навций был вызван в Рим, где назначил диктатором Цинцинната. Вернувшись к войску, Навций одержал победу над сабинами при Эрете.

Под 457 годом до н. э. Дионисий и Ливий помещают новую кампанию: якобы сабины опять большими силами обрушились на римские владения, и толпы беженцев, наводнившие город, утверждали, что враги заняли всю местность между Фиденами и Крустумерием. Против них был послан консул Квинт Минуций, разграбивший сабинские поля. А Ливий пишет, что «Минуций выступил против сабинов, но неприятеля не обнаружил» (так как сабины укрылись в городах). Возможно, это дублет кампании предыдущего года.

Война 450—449 годов до н. э.
В 450 году до н. э., воспользовавшись новым политическим кризисом в Риме, сабины и эквы снова вторглись на его территорию. Против сабинов были направлены три легиона под командованием децемвиров Квинта Фабия, Квинта Петелия и Мания Рабулея. Римское войско потерпело поражение под Эретом и бежало в Фидены и Крустумерий.

После свержения власти децемвиров консул Марк Гораций Барбат в 449 году до н. э. одержал победу над сабинами, после чего упоминания об этом народе надолго исчезают из источников.

Теория сабинского завоевания Рима
В конце XIX века Этторе Паис на основании изучения римско-сабинских войн конца VI — середины V веков до н. э., особенно эпизодов с переселением Аппия Клавдия, заговором Гердония и внезапным прекращением сабинских набегов сделал вывод о том, что сабины завоевали Рим. Эта теория имела своих приверженцев (в частности, её разделял Жак Эргон), но большинство исследователей считают подобное предположение слишком смелым. После того, как взгляды Паиса были раскритикованы Гаэтано де Санктисом и Андре Пиганьолем, он смягчил свою позицию, заменив термин «завоевание» на «вторжение», в результате которого в Риме образовалась «смешанная популяция». В вопросе о воздействии сабинов на Рим единого мнения нет, однако, данные археологии свидетельствуют, что в V веке до н. э. Рим переживал серьезный экономический упадок, а состав населения изменился за счет притока поселенцев из сельских районов.

Покорение сабинов
В дальнейшем сабины сохраняли с римлянами мирные отношения. Покорение сабинских земель римляне начали по окончании Второй Латинской войны и переходу к экспансии за пределами Лация. В 338 году до н. э. Номент вместе с латинскими городами Арицией и Педом получил права гражданства (по-видимому, с правом голоса). Вероятно, тогда же в состав римских владений вошел Эрет. Основание в 299 году до н. э. в землях умбров колонии латинского права — Нарнии — предполагает подчинение южных сабинских земель (Куры). В 293 году до н. э. был взят Амитерн. Окончательно сабины были покорены в 290 году до н. э. По сообщению Ливия, сабины подняли восстание, и консул Маний Курий Дентат, до этого разгромивший родственных им самнитов, нанес этому народу поражение и заставил подчиниться в ходе кампании, в результате которой кроме сабинов были покорены претуттии и пицены. По словам Флора, «римский народ огнём и мечом опустошил все то пространство, где Нар, Аниен, Велинские источники, вплоть до Адриатического моря», завоевав большие территории. Мнение Моммзена, сделавшего на основании сообщения Флора вывод о том, что римляне истребили большую часть местного населения, было оспорено позднейшими историками, однако, очевидно, что сабинам пришлось поступиться частью земель в пользу Рима. В 290 году до н. э. сабины получили гражданство без права голоса (civitas sine suffragio), а в 268 году до н. э. им было предоставлено полноценное римское гражданство.

Cristina Maria Jorge Ferreira (Mafra, Malveira, 9 de setembro de 1977) é uma apresentadora de televisão, empresária portuguesa e a atual Diretora de Entretenimento e Ficção da TVI.

De entre os profissionais de apresentação de entretenimento em Portugal, Cristina Ferreira, é, de longe, o rosto mais bem pago. Desde meados da década de 2010 que o seu mediatismo ultrapassa a sua presença na televisão.

Biografia
Filha única, viveu a infância num meio rural, na Malveira, nas proximidades de Mafra. O pai tem uma oficina de automóveis.

Estudou o ensino secundário em Loures. Tendo sido sempre boa aluna, licenciou-se em História e foi professora de História no ensino secundário, durante dois anos. Também tirou o curso de Ciências da Comunicação, tendo realizado um estágio de 3 dias no programa Regiões na RTP1. A sua avaliação de estágio, escrita por Manuel da Costa, indicava "A ter em conta no dia em que houver uma entrada na RTP. Esta miúda devia estar no topo da lista.

Como acabou por não ficar na RTP, entrou no curso de apresentação lecionado por Emídio Rangel na Universidade Independente. Nos 6 meses de formação, teve Manuel Luís Goucha e Júlia Pinheiro como seus professores. No final do curso fez castings e foi selecionada para o Extra, o programa diário do Big Brother, onde fez os seus primeiros diretos na televisão, e posteriormente no programa informativo Diário da Manhã, na altura apresentado por Henrique Garcia e Júlia Pinheiro.

Com menos de um ano de experiência na TV, foi convidada por Júlia Pinheiro e José Eduardo Moniz para apresentar, em conjunto com Manuel Luís Goucha, o programa Você na TV!, talk show matinal transmitido pela TVI desde 2004 e que entre 2007 e 2019 foi o programa líder de audiências no seu horário de emissão.

Em 2006, participou como concorrente no programa Canta Por Mim.

Em 2009, teve uma pequena participação na novela da TVI Sentimentos, fazendo de si própria.

Apresentou em 2011, também em conjunto com Manuel Luís Goucha, a 4ª edição do talent show Uma Canção para Ti. Em abril de 2011, foi considerada a melhor apresentadora de televisão do ano, na II Gala Troféus TV7Dias, sucedendo assim a Júlia Pinheiro, que tinha sido a vencedora da 1ª edição do evento.

Em 2012, voltou a apresentar um programa de horário nobre a um domingo, o talent show A Tua Cara Não Me é Estranha, ao lado de Manuel Luís Goucha. Durante o período em que este programa esteve no ar, eles conciliaram a apresentação deste programa com a do programa matinal "Você na TV!". Ainda em 2012, Ferreira voltou a ser eleita a melhor Apresentadora do Ano, mas desta vez numa votação feita através do Facebook.

Participou, na companhia de Manuel Luís Goucha, num episódio da série de comédia Giras e Falidas, emitida na TVI em 2014.

Em 2013, Cristina voltou a apresentar A Tua Cara Não Me é Estranha ao lado de Manuel Luís Goucha, tendo sido essa a 3ª edição do talent show. Fez ainda uma participação especial no programa de apanhados Toda a Gente Me Diz Isso, em que fingiu ser uma sósia de si própria que trabalhava numa mercearia. Também em 2013, estreou-se a solo num programa de entretenimento ao domingo e em horário nobre na TVI, intitulado de Dança com as Estrelas, que decorreu durante o verão. O programa começou por perder, mas logo na segunda gala tornou-se um sucesso a nível nacional, liderando as audiências.

De 1 de dezembro de 2013 até 2018, Cristina Ferreira foi Diretora de Conteúdos Não Informativos da TVI, em acumulação com o seu trabalho como apresentadora.

A partir de março de 2017, passou a apresentar o concurso Apanha Se Puderes, que chegou a destronar o programa que era líder de audiências naquele horário (19h) há vários anos, O Preço Certo (RTP1).

A 22 de agosto de 2018, é anunciada a mudança de Cristina Ferreira da TVI para a SIC, informação que acaba por ser confirmada pela Media Capital. Após 16 anos na estação de Queluz de Baixo, a apresentadora mudou-se para a rival SIC, onde assume o comando do novo programa das manhãs e o cargo de Consultora Executiva da Direção-Geral de Entretenimento. Esta terá sido a contratação televisiva mais mediática da década de 2010 em Portugal. Assim, em agosto de 2018 Cristina Ferreira deixa de apresentar o "Você na TV!" .

A 7 de janeiro de 2019, estreia na SIC "O Programa da Cristina", o primeiro programa apresentado por si desde a sua saída da TVI. Contudo, até dia 22 de fevereiro de 2019 ainda foram emitidos episódios de "Apanha Se Puderes" apresentados por Cristina Ferreira, criando assim uma situação pouco comum na TV portuguesa (em que uma personalidade televisiva de destaque aparece regularmente em dois canais rivais de TV, neste caso a SIC e a TVI). Tal situação prende-se com o facto de terem sido gravados vários episódios do concurso antes do anúncio da saída de Cristina Ferreira da TVI. Em 2019 também apresentou a Gala de premiação dos Globos de Ouro de 2019 no qual foi vencedora de uma das categorias a de "Personalidade do ano" na área de entretenimento.

Durante a década de 2010, Cristina Ferreira passou a ser umas das figuras públicas mais mediáticas em Portugal. À data de 2017, Cristina Ferreira já era a profissional de apresentação de televisão mais bem paga em Portugal, mantendo esse mesmo estatuto aquando da mudança para a SIC, onde passou a receber um salário ainda maior.

A 17 de julho de 2020, Cristina Ferreira abandonou a SIC para voltar à TVI, de onde saiu em agosto de 2018. Regressa à estação de Queluz de Baixo como diretora de entretenimento e ficção e como acionista da Media Capital, a detentora da TVI. A SIC pediu a Cristina Ferreira 20.202.501,21 euros pelo incumprimento de contrato de forma unilateral que vigorava até dezembro de 2022 Atualmente com um salário de 232 mil euros mensais, Pedro Marta Santos, da revista Sábado, chamou-a de "a assalariada mais bem paga em Portugal".

A 28 de maio de 2022, foi homenageada pela Câmara Municipal de Mafra, tendo sido atribuído o seu nome a um anfiteatro (antigo local onde eram realizadas as feiras) na Malveira, sua terra natal.

NIH Awards $64.6M Grant to Case Western Reserve, Largest Ever in Northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND - Case Western Reserve University's ambitious collaboration to bring medical discoveries to patients has won an extraordinary endorsement: a $64.6 million federal grant that is the largest ever awarded in Northeast Ohio.
"Five years ago Cleveland's leading biomedical institutions came together in an unprecedented partnership that put improved health at the center of everything we do," said School of Medicine dean Pamela B. Davis, MD, PhD, the grant's principal investigator. "With today's award, the National Institutes of Health sent a powerful message to all of us: Keep up the good work."
Known formally as a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), the grant exists to advance efforts among scientists and physicians to take promising breakthroughs out of laboratories and into hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices – that is, to where innovations directly benefit those who most need lifesaving treatments. National Institutes of Health (NIH) leaders launched the CTSA program six years ago to accelerate the transition of research ideas to medical applications; today Case Western Reserve is one of 61 lead institutions across the country fostering this pioneering work with hospitals and other health care partners. In this region, the alliance includes Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth System, University Hospitals Case Medical Center and Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. Richard A. Rudick, MD, vice chair of the Neurological Institute at Cleveland Clinic, serves as the effort's co-principal investigator. In 2007, the proposal he and Davis authored won $64 million from the NIH, which at the time was the single largest federal research award to the region.
"At that time, none of us knew for sure how this attempt at cooperation actually would work in practice," said Rudick, who is also a professor of medicine at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve. "But what we found over time was that our shared commitment to work together to advance the health of all patients in our region has driven scientists and investigators in the partner institutions to overcome barriers. Progress has exceeded all expectations. It's been an honor to work on a project that brings our amazing health care institutions together on behalf of our community."
Some of the most significant examples of progress involved agreements among institutions that enable scientists and physicians to pursue research across multiple hospitals and health care centers – thus enhancing both the size and diversity of the potential pool of patients. This expansion in turn improved the quality, reliability and relevance of studies' final results. Such cooperation also involved significant technological investments to enable systems at different sites to work together in a more seamless way. Finally, this spirit of teamwork extended to community organizations as well. The partners together launched nearly a dozen networks aimed at addressing key community health challenges, among them obesity, diabetes and hypertension. The award not only enabled neighborhood-based research, but also provided training to scientists, physicians and community leaders about ways they could work together more effectively to improve the health of residents.
While wellness is the CTSA's central focus, the first award contributed significant additional gains. Several companies have grown out of needs and solutions identified through the cross-institutional research efforts, which in turn have attracted more than $740 million in private sector funding. In addition, the original federal funding has allowed the collaboration to service more than 1,300 individual scientists and physicians, who in turn went on to win more than $150 million in additional federal grant support. Finally, these scholars produced more than 1,100 peer-reviewed journal articles, which meant that their discoveries have gone on not only to benefit greater Clevelanders, but national discussions about opportunities to defeat chronic diseases. In fact, this spring the Clinical Research Forum, a nonprofit national advocacy organization, announced its inaugural list of the Top 10 Clinical Research Accomplishments of 2010 and 2011. Three of the 10 involved research within Case Western Reserve's CTSA – the most of any CTSA recipient in the nation.
"The purpose of this new federal grant model is to push institutions to focus ever more squarely on tangible impacts to individuals and society," said Case Western Reserve president Barbara R. Snyder. "We are pleased that the NIH recognized the remarkable efforts across all of our major partners and the individuals within institutions and community organizations. Together, we all are committed to make even greater progress over the next five years." With the foundation of thriving inter-institutional relationships and new technological infrastructure to enable collaboration now in place, the upcoming grant period will capitalize on the rich potential the initiative has to benefit the city, region and state.
"This grant is an excellent example of how the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University continues to bring together partners from Northeast Ohio to support advancements in health care that benefit our entire community," said Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge. "I am proud to have this world-renowned medical school in my district and am pleased to support their longstanding focus on community health care."
For example, existing programs aimed at enhancing community awareness and implementation of healthy practices will continue efforts to spread knowledge and encourage sustainable behaviors. By the same token, researchers' new ability to access literally hundreds of thousands more elements of data will accelerate dramatically their efforts to identify trends in disease, treatment and opportunities for improvement. Finally, the state's two other CTSA programs – at Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati – earlier began initial conversations regarding opportunities to broaden their individual reach through shared efforts. This year, however, Gov. John Kasich convened the three groups to encourage more active engagement to support both health and economic advances. The resulting conversations have yielded multiple opportunities for joint efforts, and all three parties look forward to the results of those statewide initiatives.
"Partnerships between world class research institutions like Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Clinic, the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, University Hospitals, and MetroHealth have resulted in critical improvements to patient-based research in Northeast Ohio," U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown said. "They are engaging local communities, while training the next generation of researchers and providing a much needed focus on community health."
The CTSA was funded by a grant (UL1TR000439) from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences at the NIH.
Founded in 1843, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is the largest medical research institution in Ohio and is among the nation's top medical schools for research funding from the National Institutes of Health. The School of Medicine is recognized throughout the international medical community for outstanding achievements in teaching. The School's innovative and pioneering Western Reserve2 curriculum interweaves four themes--research and scholarship, clinical mastery, leadership, and civic professionalism--to prepare students for the practice of evidence-based medicine in the rapidly changing health care environment of the 21st century. Nine Nobel Laureates have been affiliated with the School of Medicine.
Annually, the School of Medicine trains more than 800 MD and MD/PhD students and ranks in the top 25 among U.S. research-oriented medical schools as designated by U.S. News & World Report's "Guide to Graduate Education."
The School of Medicine is affiliated with University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, MetroHealth Medical Center, the Louis Stokes Cleveland Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and the Cleveland Clinic, with which it established the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University in 2002. case.edu/medicine.

Takht-Ravanchi censures Washington's sanctions on Syria as 'shameful'
All forces present in Syria without permission must leave, Iran's UN envoy says
July 25, 2020 - 13:9
TEHRAN – All foreign forces who have entered Syria with the permission of the Damascus government must leave the country, the Iranian ambassador to the UN said on Thursday.
Majid Takht-Ravanchi said all should fully respect Syria's national sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity.
Following is the text of Takht-Ravanchi's speech to the UN Security Council on Syria:
On July 1st, a virtual meeting of the Summit of Astana Format was held to discuss different aspects of the situation in Syria.
Following discussions on the latest developments, the Presidents issued a joint statement, where they emphasized their strong commitments to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Syria; opposed illegitimate self-rule initiatives and separatist agendas; renounced the imposition of unilateral sanctions on Syria; rejected the occupation of Syrian Golan and condemned the relevant U.S. decision; considered the Israeli military attacks in Syria as destabilizing and violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity; and reaffirmed their determination to cooperate in eliminating all UNSC-designated terrorist groups.
We once again stress that the sovereignty, political independence, unity and territorial integrity of Syria must be fully respected by all, and accordingly, all foreign forces whose presence is not permitted by the Syrian Government must leave the Syrian territory.
The prominent example is the occupation of parts of Syria by the U.S. forces, who continue looting the Syrian oil and wealth as well as supporting and shielding terrorist groups under the mask of combatting terrorism.
Similarly, Israel's acts of aggression against Syria are in gross violation of international law and the UN Charter, in the face of which, the Syrian Government has a sovereign right to decide how and when to exercise its inherent right to individual or collective self-defense. Such aggressions must come to an end.
The occupation of Syrian Occupied Golan by Israel is illegal, and the recognition by the U.S. of Golan's annexation by Israel is null and void. Condemning such unlawful irresponsible acts, we stress that Golan is and will remain a part and parcel of the Syrian territory.
We reiterate our principled position that there is no military solution to the Syrian conflict and it must only be resolved through a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned, UN-facilitated political process.
Underlining that the establishment of the Constitutional Committee is an achievement of the Astana format, and welcoming the agreement to hold its next meeting in August, we support the Committee's work. Committee's activities must continue without any external pressure, and any possible assistance thereto, even by the United Nations, must be extended only at the request of the Committee itself in accordance with its ROP
We stress once again that the right to determine the future of Syria belongs exclusively to Syrians. We welcome the successful holding of the recent Parliamentary election in Syria which is a step forward in this direction.
Today, the Syrian people must confront the challenges presented by both the conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, what deteriorates this situation is the recent imposition of inhumane unilateral sanctions by the U.S. against the Syrian people which is a truly shameful act against a nation who, amid almost a decade-long conflict, suffers from the coronavirus pandemic.
We strongly condemn this inhumane and irresponsible move by the United States and urge the international community to raise its voice in rejecting this shameful policy and calling for the removal of all these immoral sanctions.
The international community should not leave the Syrian people alone in their struggle to overcome the economic problems resulting from these inhumane sanctions.
We also highlight the need to facilitate safe and voluntary return of refugees and IDPs to their original places of residence in Syria.
Calling for the international community's contribution in this regard, we underline that any such assistance including for Syria's reconstruction must not be politicized or linked to the fulfillment of certain conditions.

Colleagues rally to raise funds for Pc left paralysed by blood clot
Dec 11th 2019 11:40AM
A dedicated police officer and soon to be father-of-three is facing a lifetime of paralysis after tragedy struck in the run-up to Christmas.
Pc Darren Triggs was at home with his pregnant wife and two young children when he felt chest pain and numbness in his legs.
The next thing he knew he was being rushed to hospital where surgeons battled to save his ability to walk after finding a blood clot in his spine.
Despite their best efforts, the 36-year-old veteran Sussex Police officer was left paralysed from the chest down.
Pc Triggs, who lives in the village of Fishbourne and serves the community around Chichester in West Sussex, has been described as a model policeman.

The tragedy came just four days after he was assaulted in the line of duty, but doctors do not know if this led to the blood clot, his superior officer said.
He first felt pain on the morning of December 3 while at home with his wife Rosie, who is seven months' pregnant, and their daughters Daisy, four, and one-year-old Amelie.
His senior officer at Sussex Police, Inspector David Derrick, said: "As a family they are being really brave.
"His wife is really, really supportive and brave."
Pc Triggs' fellow officers are "heartbroken" and have banded together to do what they can for their friend and colleague, he added.
With Pc Triggs facing a lifetime of paralysis that leaves him struggling to sit up, his colleagues and friends started fundraising to help him and his family in the future.
In less than 24 hours, more than £17,000 has been raised.
Insp Derrick said: "Sadly Darren is only a 14-year Pc which means he has only got 14 years of pension.
"Him and his children will really need this in the months and years to come. That is why it's important to us to drive (the fundraising) as much as possible."
Donations have come from far and wide, including from police commanders in the United States, which Insp Derrick said is "fantastic".
The JustGiving page can be found at: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/pc-darren-triggs-sussex
Insp Derrick said: "All the teams at Chichester are heartbroken for him.
"He has been in the same section for 14 years which is almost unprecedented in police circles.
"Being a local resident he really cares about and knows the communities around this town.
"He's dedicated to his work, he's dedicated to serving victims of crimes and to policing his communities."

The change of our vile body - Philippians 3:21 - Robert Hawker
"Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." [Philippians 3:21]
When GOD the HOLY GHOST, in this scripture, by his servant the Apostle, saith, that CHRIST shall change our vile bodies; and this is said of the saints of GOD; nothing can be more evident, than that the bodies of regenerated believers, notwithstanding the holiness of the spirit, in being born again, whether in the grave, or alive, at the coming of CHRIST, are not changed by grace. If they were changed, they could not be said to be vile. If a perfection in part, even in the smallest part on the body, had taken place, at the regeneration of the spirit; that part, even in the thousandth degree, could no longer be said to be vile: neither could it be capable, as we see, and know it is, in every instance of corruption. Acts 13:36, 37. I conceive this to be so important a point of doctrine, and involves in it so many interesting consequences, that I pray the Reader not to pass away from it too hastily. It certainly is not very generally, if at all, attended to, or considered. The commonly received opinion, even by the godly, on this point is, that at regeneration, we are sanctified in part, both in body, and spirit. Whereas, if, as Paul saith here, CHRIST at his coming, will change our vile bodies; most certain it is, that no change whatever is made on the body at the new-birth, but the vast work is on the spirit only. And this is most plainly the case. The spirit at regeneration, is made as holy as it ever will be, being made a partaker of the divine nature; and having had given unto it, all things that pertain to life and godliness. 2 Peter 1:3, 4. And the body remains the same, unchanged by grace, but vile, and full of sin. And hence, when it drops to its original dust, it is expressly said to be sown in corruption, to be sown in weakness, to be sown a natural body. And hence, as CHRIST will change the vile bodies of his saints, which are alive at his coming: so, by his resurrection, he will raise up the bodies of his saints, which sleep in the dust, and which were sown in corruption. JESUS will raise them in incorruption, that they may be all fashioned like to his glorious body, whereby he is able, even to subdue all things unto himself. Oh precious JESUS! thou who art the resurrection and the life! May my flesh rest in hope of this assured blessedness!

J. Pickard & Co is a family business located in Burrington, North Devon. The business has been trading for over 150 years and providing invaluable support to the rural North Devon community with their provision of farming, chemical and country living products.
With several agricultural and chemical stores on their site, this was the first install for our client and was designed to demonstrate the variety of benefits that a Closed-Cell Spray Foam Application can have on a deteriorating and condensating corrugated roof.
With temperature regulation an important factor for this install coupled with the anti-condensation requirements to keep the building warm and dry, our client was interested to find out how Spray Foam Insulation could benefit their variety of property.
We carried out a site survey to meet with the client and assess their problems. It was clear that in colder weather, the roof would condensate and this would lead to water drips on valuable chemical stocks that require storage in managed temperature parameters.
The roof covered a span of 140 square metres and had a steep pitch to it, meaning that working at height was an important consideration. Furthermore, a stair case up to the mezzanine floor provided access issues which we had to consider and overcome.
Based on the clients requirements, we opted for a 30-35mm coating of Closed-Cell Insulation to eliminate condensation, provide some good thermal performance and help prevent the impacts of solar gain into the building during hot summer months.
A Closed-Cell Spray Foam application, when installed properly, should live with the life of the boat/vessel and is guaranteed for a minimum of 25 years.
With the business being busy year round, installation had to be considered to account for the building being emptied. We therefore opted to carry out the install on a Saturday to minimise disruption to the day to day trade of the business.
Using a forklift truck with a man basket on the front provided by the client, we were able to mobilise the spray team to the required working height. Safety is important to us, therefore, we ensured that the man basket was strapped to the forklift to avoid any falls.
Throughout the course of the day, our team were able to complete the installation of the entire roof space. The important factors to the speed were the fact the client removed all of his stock from the building to ensure we had a clear run of access.
We knew we had to do something to our building to combat damaging condensation and add some thermal performance. After researching the possible solutions to insulate a corrugated roof, we were confident that Spray Foam Insulation was right for us.
When we googled local Spray Foam Installers, ThermoFoam were one of the most prominent and their website demonstrated that they had carried out numerous, similar installs. When their surveyor came out to see us, he talked us through the process, filling us with confidence.
Do you have an agricultural building you use for storage that suffers from condensation and would benefit from having Spray Foam Insulation?


Feb. 8, 2006 – Graduating high school seniors seeking college financial aid information, including assistance with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form are invited to participate in Missouri's third annual College Goal Sunday planned for Feb. 12 at Southeast Missouri State University.
Southeast is one of 27 sites in Missouri hosting "College Goal Sunday." The event is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. in Robert A. Dempster Hall.
"JUST GET HERE" is being advertised to thousands of high school students in Missouri. Aimed at graduating high school seniors planning to enroll in a college or university this fall, the slogan encourages students to participate in the event. The program intends to help students understand how to fill out the FAFSA form to determine eligibility for student grants, loans, scholarships and student employment for tuition plus school expenses. Many schools have priority processing dates for the FAFSA in February and March. Therefore, it is advised to file as soon as possible. Every college-bound student is eligible to take part in this free, one-day event.
Many financial aid professionals throughout Missouri have committed to playing a part in this year's College Goal SundaySM. Missouri high school seniors and their respective parents or guardians are invited to attend. Volunteers and financial aid experts will be on hand to help with the completion and filing of the student FAFSA forms. The program targets students who have had no prior experience with the FAFSA forms or may not have considered attending college because the funds weren't readily accessible to finance college tuition. College Goal Sunday was created with these types of barriers in mind.
For complete information on College Goal Sunday participating sites, visit www.collegegoalmissouri.com. Students are encouraged to review the information on the website prior to arriving so they can bring all of the necessary documentation, including each individual's 2005 federal tax information in order to fill out their FAFSA forms completely.
Part of a nationally based program, College Goal Sunday is made possible by the Lumina Foundation. Co-sponsoring the Missouri event each year since its inception three years ago, are the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA), the Missouri Department of Higher Education, and the Missouri Association of Student Financial Aid Personnel (MASFAP).

Check Out Our Electoral College Reform Essay
Electoral College reforms have been a very controversial subject that has attracted many views and reviews. There has been an increased demand for these reforms. This is because most people including the members of the congress are dissatisfied with the ''winner takes it all system. 'This paper seeks to study at least four proposals of the electoral collage review. It will try to address the constitutional concerns in relation to the initiative of voters who will be able to achieve the Electoral College reforms.
History of the Electoral College
The United States of America uses a specific method in the election of its presidents. This method was originated from intense negotiations and compromise of the constitutional intervention dated back to the year 1787. At that time, some of the states favored direct elections of the presidents. This was because the direct elections of the presidents would have given them direct influence, because of the large population that resided in these states. On the other hand, the smaller states were afraid that, if direct election was allowed, the larger and more popular states would have more influence on the presidential candidate of their choice (Bugh, p.3).
This lead to a very heated argument and every part wanted to be heard. Eventually, a compromise had to be reached. The compromise entailed the number of electrical votes that each state would have as compared to the number of senators and representatives to the states that they represented. This compromise was invited and accepted by both larger and smaller states.
This is because this process would help to put all states on an equal footing. However, the critics of this system were not pleased with the compromise. They insisted that under this method the citizens are not allowed to directly vote for the presidential candidate of their choice. Instead, the citizen has to vote for electors, who promise and pledge to vote for a particular presidential candidate. According to the constitution, the state can appoint electors'' in such a manner as the legislator there of may direct'' (Cont article 11). This simply means that the state has complete authority over the manner, in which they elect or appoint the electors. In most states the electors run in a general election and the winning elector is awarded all the electoral votes of the state. This method is called or known as the winner takes it all method. In the resent times nearly all states use the win and take method during general elections. (Malbin, p.28)
Aftermath of the 2002 Elections
The 2002 presidential elections helped to bring into light the fears of the many critics, who were against the winner. This is because during the 2002 elections the Democrat Al Gore won the popular vote. However, he lost the Electoral College to Republican George Bush by a few electoral votes 'These results sparked debates, different views, reviews on the same (Bugh, p.95).
Those, who supported the Electoral College and the winner, get all system supported the system. They insisted that this system could still accomplish the original purpose. According to the supporters, this system would prevent the large states from determining and influencing the presidential candidate. They also insisted that the persons who won in the smaller states would be able to offset the persons, who lost in the larger states. They also attribute the fact that this method will help to destabilize the effect on the current party system .According to the supporters, this would eventually provide stability and also help to ensure that the particular presidential candidate will be the choice of the country at large. The opposition, on the other hand, has begged to differ with the supporters of this system (Conradt, p.9). The critics do not agree with the disproportionate influence of the smaller states in relation to their minimal population. The critics argue that the smaller states will still be guaranteed three electoral votes with one representative. Therefore, the voters from the smaller state will have more influence in the appointment of the electoral votes as compared to the larger states. The critics agree that the larger states enjoy a greater advantage or benefit. However, they argue that these votes are meaningless before the winner of the election is determined.
Abolishing the Electoral College
Many have suggested that the best approach would be to abolish the Electoral College reforms. However, such a plan and change would require a constitutional amendment. If the congress succeeds in amending this bill, the Electoral College would be eliminated and the Nation would then adopt the direct voting system. Those in support of the abolishment of the Electoral College argue that direct election would give equal voting rights and weigh all the states equally. They also argue that direct election would reduce the possibility of electing a president, who has not received the majority votes. (Canady, p.44) They also attribute their support to the fact that direct election would change campaign strategies and focus more on individual voters. On the other hand, the opposition is mainly concerned with the potential increase of third party presidential candidates. They argue that this would cause instability, and thus, the balance of power in the United States would be upset.
It would be very difficult to amend the constitution. This is because the amendments would require two thirds of the congress to agree. It is also clear that many of the large states would not agree with the amendments, since they would lose their influence on the outcomes of elections.

The increase in the general price of goods and services belonging to a single economy is commonly referred to as inflation.
Inflation decreases the value of the currency of a nation.
Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. Inflation is typically measured as the annual percentage increase in an economy. Inflation generally results in a nation's currency losing value. As the price level rises each unit of currency buys lesser goods and services therefore inflation is a reflection of a reduced purchasing power per unit of currency. After inflation a certain unit of currency can no longer buy the same goods and services it could buy before.
Deflation is the opposite of inflation and it is characterized by a sustained decrease in the general level of prices for goods and services. Hyperinflation on the other hand is the unusually rapid growth of inflation, and under extreme cases it can result in the collapse of a countries monetary system. A notable example of an economy affected by hyperinflation is Germany when prices increased in one month by 2500% in 1923. Stagflation is the combination of a stagnant economy due to inflation and a high unemployment rate. Stagflation transpired during the 1970's mostly affecting industrialized countries whose bad economies were combined with increasing oil prices.
There is no single reason as to what causes inflation. However, two theories attempt to explain the cause of inflation. Demand-pull inflation is a theory that suggests that prices tend to increase when the demand for goods and services are growing faster than the supply. Demand-pull inflation usually affects the growing economies. Cost push inflation takes place when the costs of production increase resulting to an increase in prices so that the companies cannot maintain their profit margins. An increase in costs of production could be due to the taxes, wages or an increase in the cost of imports.
Inflation is measured using a metric measurement of Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is used to determine the inflation consumers face from their daily expenses by collecting the costs of goods and services from various fields, averaging them out to have an idea of just how much prices are changing. Every time the CPI goes up it means that inflation is taking place. Producer Price Index is used to measure inflation in production processes. CPI is accompanied by another term next to it which usually refers to a certain year or base period which help in the comparison of inflation levels.
What Is The Importance Of Inflation?
Inflation helps a nation to keep its economy balanced thus making it a necessary evil. Inflation produces employment and is a sign that the country's economy is growing. If an economy lacks inflation, then it means that its economy is becoming weak. Lack of inflation also means that there is no incentive to invest and the value of a currency is constant. Positive inflation can help a developing nation to achieve greater flexibility in regards to the labor market. Always inflation at minimal levels is healthy for the economy.
Inflation hits the hardest when it is high and when it occurs unexpectedly when people do not have ample time to prepare for it. Banks adjust their interest rates whereas creditors and debtors are at a disadvantage since the increase of prices was not included in the interest rates. An increase in prices for domestic goods as compared to the price of imported goods will result in domestic producers being less competitive.


The Chapter XI of New Model Bye-Laws of Co-operative Housing Society(CHS) as approved by The Commissioner for Co-operation and Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Pune in Dec. 2010, mentions under Bye Law No. 113 "Subject to the direction given or regulation made by a meeting of the general body of the society, the Committee shall exercise all powers expressly conferred on it and discharge all functions entrusted to it under the bye-law No. 139"
Therefore, the Managing Committee drives its powers, under the bye-law No. 139, from the mandate passed in the General Body meeting of the Society.
As the GB neither met nor has passed any such resolution, certainly MC is lacking the powers to enhance maintenance charges or implement any such decision which is not passed in the meeting of GB.
You should protest it formally to the MC and in the worst case you need to take up the matter with the Dy. Registrar of CHS of your area to issue needed direction to MC to get the proposed hike in maintenance duly passed in GB prior to its implementation.
Please also note, inflation is on rise and we need to be cooperative with MC for justifiable hikes.
