Category: Uncategorized Tag: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INCREASE IN MORTALITY RATE AS A RESULT OF ABORTION AMONG YOUNG WOMEN
This study attempted to analyse reasons responsible for increase in abortion related mortality rates among young women in Benin metropolis.The survey research design was used to carry out the study, and the random sampling technique was used in selecting public places; such as schools, hospitals religious organization and shops in the three Local Government areas; Egor, Ikpoba-Okha, and Oredo, that makes up the Benin metropolis. The study was organized using a sample of two hundred and fifty (250) respondents, randomly selected from these three areas. Questionnaire and unstructured interview were used to elicit responses from respondents. The validity of the questionnaire was carried out by three lecturers from the department. The reliability of the instrument was determined using the test retest method. The instrument was administered to twenty respondents who were not part of the final study, and at an interval of two weeks the same instrument was again administered on the same group of respondents. The scores obtained were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient with a result coefficient of 0.68. The data obtained through questionnaire were analyzed using frequency counts and simple percentages. Results obtained indicated that:
Abortion was identified to be responsible for the increase in maternal mortality rate among young women in Benin Metropolis.
Mortality rates in abortion related cases can be reduced among young women in Benin Metropolis through sex education.
That there is a need for proper and special approach, which is individual confidential approach to counselling abortion victims.
That people are of the opinion that if abortion is made legal maternal mortality rate will not be reduced and will lead to high abortion incidence.
That government has a lot to contribute to issue of abortion related maternal mortality.
Conclusively, emphasis should be laid on sex education. A special approach (individual confidential approach) should be used in counselling abortion victims, in order to live a life out of shame. Government should provide free maternal and health services for teenage mothers. In addition, counselling centres for young mothers as well as social support to take care of unwanted children should be provided.

Abortion is a relatively used term. It is the word used to describe the act of termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a foetus or embryo prior to viability. The term "Abortion" most commonly refers to the induced removal of human pregnancy. It could mean a plan or arrangement which takes place in the foetus before it can develop properly.
In Nigeria, as in all parts of the world, women experience unplanned pregnancy. Some of these women seek to terminate their pregnancies by safe medical methods or by other unorthodox methods available. The procurement of abortion is by no means a new phenomenon in Nigeria. The main reason why young girls and women procure abortion is always changing. Increasingly, women procure abortion due to desire to avoid premarital births and to control family size (Aboyeji, 2003). However, abortion as it is used in this study is the act of terminating or stopping the development of a child in the womb of a woman either by medical operation or self medication.
Abortion, when induced in the developed world in accordance with local laws is among the safest procedures in medicine. Notwithstanding, unsafe abortion occurs in approximately 70,000 maternal death and 5 million cases of disabilities are recorded yearly, globally (www.wikipedia.com).
Abortion is an age old practise, it was universally practised but not universally accepted. It was seen as a social evil, one that brought down the curse of the gods. The evil notion that primitive people heard about was so profound that it was believed in some tribes that abortion committed by a married woman could cause the husband to be sterile especially when the husband is not responsible (Olaitan, 2003)
The above reasons did not stop the practise of abortion among primitive people. Women in the olden days would rather have their pregnancy terminated than to have the child to be raised in slavery. Pregnancies involving members of the same family were aborted because it was seen as a taboo. Lactating women who become pregnant had the pregnancies aborted to ensure the flow of milk for the living child.
Primitive men used crude, traumatic and often ineffective means to terminate pregnancy which led to the deaths of the victims. Today, abortion continues to be practised whether forbidden or accepted for a variety of social, political, economic and religious reason that are not completely different from those given by primitive men (Boyd, 2006).
Over the years, due to advanced science and technology, man has been able to tackle problems more effectively than primitive men. Modern man has been able to eradicate lots of diseases from the face of the earth and invented easier and faster means of cooking and transportation which is seen as less primitive, why is he still very primitive in the way he solves the problem of unwanted pregnancies?
Abortion is seen by many in the world today as immoral and ungodly, an act that calls for a punishment from both God and man. Many others still see abortion as a means of regulating the population and balancing the socio economic needs of the family. For this above reason, abortion has been the centre of many legal, social, political and religious debates in the countries all over the world (Jones, 2004)
Abortion is a life threatening issue, one that has claimed the lives of thousands of young women and girls all over the world, therefore, it is an issue that concerns everyone in the society no matter what your stand is on abortion. Consider a young girl of fourteen who gets pregnant and is desperate for a solution. Since she is unable to face the consequences of pregnancy at this age, she may not even know who is responsible for her pregnancy after realising she is pregnant due to obvious signs of pregnancy (nausea, insomnia, etc). She may decide to procure an abortion either on her own or with the aid of someone in order to cover shame. The image is frightening that a young girl of such a tender age, both physically, psychologically, and emotionally immature finds herself on an operating table where she gives her body and life to the sharp instrument of an abortionist.
On the other hand, this young girl may decide to procure an abortion herself or may find herself in the hands of quacks such as half-baked nurses, medical school dropouts, traditional medicine practitioners and other paramedical quacks which could lead to loss of life or sustenance of severe complications which may affect the womb. In this situation, who is to blame for her death? Is it her teachers, parents, peers, the young girl herself, the abortionist or the society at large?
The plight of these young adolescents at this period of life is pitiable because they probably have been exposed to sexual intercourse at a very young age. They also may have indulged in sex without being aware of the consequences of their action which in fact speaks of ignorance and innocence. Again, these young girls may have been lured into sex by older members of the community seeking pleasure. These individuals may deceive these young girls to engage in premarital sex.
In whatever way abortion is performed on these young girls, whoever the abortionist is and whatever reasons these girls have to procure abortion, the fact still remains that these young girls are dying daily in their thousands and nothing has been done to remedy the situation.
Despite the fact that a large number of women die every day all over the world as a result of abortion, the practise is still increasing. It is a worrisome problem worldwide and the rate at which it is procured is alarming. Families have experienced the trauma of losing a child, marriages have been broken because some young girls have become barren before marriage, all as a result of too many abortions. When death from abortion occurs, the argument on who is responsible is endless. Therefore, it is pertinent to reflect on the abortion problem and find out what it is that makes young girls who are still at puberty stage procure abortion. So far, very little has been done on reasons responsible for adolescents' procurement of abortion and the increase in mortality rate. This leaves a gap in Nigerian health education literature and hence the study.
Is there an increase mortality rates in abortion related cases among young girls in Benin metropolis?
How can mortality rates be reduced in abortion related cases among young girls in Benin metropolis?
Which approaches can be used in counselling abortion victims?
If abortion is legalised, will it reduce maternal mortality rates?
Is government contributing to increase in abortion related cases?
The purpose of the study is hinged on educating young girls in Benin metropolis about the dangers and complications of abortion as well as to reduce mortality rate among young girls on related issues.
Significance of the Study
The findings of this study may help create public awareness on the dangers of abortion and help in educating young girls on the "do's and don'ts" of abortion related issues. This study is geared towards making necessary recommendations on alternative solutions to abortion. The findings of the study may go a long way in discouraging young girls from procuring abortion and helping the government in solving the problem. This study would also form a basis for further research work in abortion and related problems in Nigeria.
Limitations of the study
This study was limited geographically to the three (3) local government area that make up Benin metropolis (Egor, Ikpoba Okha, and Oredo ). It was affected by the reluctance of various hospitals in Benin metropolis to make public records on abortion patients available and unwillingness by several young girls who may have procured abortion to divulge useful piece of information.
There was also difficulty in circulating and retrieving questionnaire forms due to high cost of transportation and brevity of time for the project.

People who live in the Dallas and surrounding counties know that Omega Masonry is the one to employ when seeking Stone Masonry service. OmegaMasonry.Com specializes in taking the skill of masonry, to the next level, and is the top Concrete Contractors in The Colony, TX.
Stamped concrete is a very popular choice for walkways over the past few years. A lot of property owners prefer to use it instead of using brick and stone pavers as it's more economical. They are also pleasing to the eyes for it comes in various colors and patterns. They can mimic anything, from stones to marbles. They are generally simple to install and would easily blend into the appearance that you desire for your exteriors. Installing it is also a breeze. Unlike stone pavers that need to be set individually, concrete merely has to be mixed, poured, and stamped. But then again, it does take a professional masonry contractor to get the job right. Like most concrete structures, issues like untimely cracking, rough edges, and poor finish are ordinary.
The other drawback to stamped concrete is resilience. Concrete tends to crack overtime, especially if it's exposed to the elements. The weight of load is also a factor. Therefore the place where stamped concrete is installed must also be taken into consideration. This is why concrete is recommended for walkways but not on driveways. But when it comes to care, stamped concrete wins. It is simple to clean and may generally need less to no maintenance at all. But then, contractors suggest that the concrete is treated for better protection.
Stamped concrete is basically more lavish as you're free to pick which color, pattern and design to use. The only restriction is your own creativity. Patio pavers, on the other hand, come in certain designs. But you can always mix and match to achieve the look that you desire.
Stamped concrete is prone to cracking, more so if the condition outdoors is somehow irregular. Patio pavers, on the other hand, are generally thicker and stronger. They are not prone to cracking if installed professionally.
The installation of stamped concrete and patio pavers requires a pro. Even if almost everybody can play with pavers and concrete on their own, it can be difficult to attain the perfect look and the maximum quality of the materials if they aren't installed the right way.
In the matters of repair and upkeeping, patio pavers are the winners. Because they are durable, they don't have to be repaired very often. And if you have to, you only need to focus on the individual stone that is chipped and not the whole walkway.

Q: ActiveRecord combining relations I'm wondering if there's a nicer way to do this:
I have 2 complex relations with multiple joins joining to Table D. I want to combine/join them to get the Table D records. The following works but is there a better way?
class TableD < ActiveRecord::Base

def self.relation_three
  r1 = TableA.relation_one.select("d.id")
  r2 = TableB.relation_two.select("d.id")
  where("d.id IN (#{r1.to_sql}) OR d.id IN (#{r2.to_sql})")
end

And if that's not possible then I have a supplementary question:
Is it possible to return an active record result class different from the record the query is based on? ie:
TableA.all.joins(:b).select("b.*") # Coerce into TableB class ?

Thanks!

The passion for design, object and art, for everything that is alive and in motion isn't a sudden discovery for me. It is the way I was brought up and the way I've formed myself along the years.
The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time but I don't believe in classifications or in setting boundaries.
There are moments when artists becomes designers and moments when boundaries are melting and the results that come from that fanciful play of creativity is showing that what is primarily important is the feeling of freedom and joy.
The Diorama Concept 2014 collection included the collaboration with artist Anca Stefanescu. The purses from the collection were a series of printed leather purses with digital art signed by the artist.

If you had modified your profile in the 3 months before the crash of the pangolin server (as me with my email address), you're come back to your previous data.
I think that a very slight loss, compared with all the translation work I did in these three months on the documentation, mainly in the german wiki.
Because I supposed a professionally managed data backup to be in operation, I made no local copies of my translations.
When there will be no better backup strategy, I am unwilling to spend any time in further translations.

It is "beans and greens" week according to Jaden, et al., and I happened to have a big bunch of escarole, pantry full of beans and odds and ends of other veg to use up. That calls for soup!
Clockwise from upper left: onion and shallot (don't cook them at the same time or shallot will burn!), red and green pepper, carrot, fennel, herbs, celery, green beans, garlic.
The finished soup also included about a quarter head of raddichio which I forgot I had - sliced up and threw it in -in addition to the DiLuigi's sausages, Gouveia White Beans, mirepoix, green and red bell pepper, fennel, green beans, garlic, herbs, cheese. Generous salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Bay leaf. You could also add red pepper flakes.
See what I mean when I call it a "kitchen-sink" soup?
The nice thing about making it is that it's comforting, it's good, and it's easy. It could be made meat-free by simply omitting the sausage. I'd add more parmigiano-reggiano to increase the umami flavor. Maybe add tomatoes, too, which would also increase that savory element and bring more color and depth of flavor.
Sauteed two sausages (one sweet, one hot) in olive oil & canola.
Add remaining veg, bay leaf, deglaze with white wine or Vya vermouth (about 1/3 C). Add tomatoes or tomato paste if omitting sausage.
Add beans, water/stock, escarole, rind of parmigiano-reggiano. Cover and simmer until beans are tender.
To serve, I pan-grilled ciabatta bread in butter/olive oil/garlic then served on top of soup like a huge crouton. Also grated additional cheese.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation, Josep Borrell, alongside the Slovak Minister of Foreign Affairs, Miroslav Lajčák, in his role as president of the Mediterranean Contact Group of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and the Secretary-General of the OSCE, Thomas Greminger, today closed the 2018 OSCE Mediterranean Conference, held in Malaga on 25 and 26 October. The Conference was dedicated to "the importance of energy for economic growth and co-operation in the Mediterranean".
The Conference welcomed more than 170 participants and was attended by close to fifteen ministers and vice-ministers from the OSCE Participant States and its Partners for Cooperation in the Mediterranean region (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia).
Minister Borrell, as Conference host, received the participants in the high-level segment and gave an address in which he emphasised the importance of the Mediterranean Partnership in the scope of the OSCE, making reference to the Helsinki Final Act of 1975 which acknowledged that the security of the OSCE region was inextricably linked to security in the Mediterranean.
The participants agreed that regional and inter-regional cooperation and dialogue on the challenges related to energy are essential in order to guarantee energy security and to develop strategies that encourage a rational and sustainable use of energy sources.
The work of the Conference has allowed for the analysis of the importance of connectivity and cooperation with regard to energy. They also specifically addressed the protection of critical energy infrastructure, an issue of increasing concern, due to the increase in terrorism, conflicts and more frequent natural disasters. Likewise, the relation between energy and the environment was addressed; an issue that Spain has been working on in a sustained manner for years and for which, in 2007, the OSCE Council of Ministers released the Madrid Declaration on Environment and Security, which provided decisive political impetus for the development of the OSCE's work in this field.
An event was also held in parallel to the Conference on the role of the private sector in energy development, which concluded that there is a need for governments and the private sector to work together to more positively influence the region's energetic future.
The debates also demonstrated that the Mediterranean Partnership does not just involve governments, but also has an impact on citizens. The lack of access to energy provision is an obstacle for human and economic development and energy has an evident direct impact in terms of creating employment and saving and reducing emissions that affect health.
Spain has demonstrated its leadership in the OSCE with regard to the attention that the organisation pays to Mediterranean issues, which is why the Slovak president of the OSCE Mediterranean Contact Group offered the opportunity to host this Conference, which was unanimously supported by the entire organisation in July.

Q: Autocomplete box error I have a xml file and I want to search in it with an autocomplete box.
I use code below but the it crashed. How can I fix it or is there a way better?
               XDocument loadedData = XDocument.Load("BankCode.xml");

        var data = from query in loadedData.Descendants("BankCode")
                   select new BankData

I want to create an app that when the user type the bank name in autocomplete box after pressing the search button the bank code has shown to him/her. (!!The acBox is an autocomplete box.)

A: It seems 1 of your Bank nodes does not have a Code attribute.
You should add a NULL check:
var filteredData = from c in loadedCustomData.Descendants("Bank")
                   where c.Attribute("Code") != null && c.Attribute("Code").Value == acBox.Text
                   select new BankData()
                   {
                       Code= c.Attribute("Code").Value
                   };


Has anyone found an option to publish a quiz & send questions & answers to the LMS? I created my quizzes, but in my LMS I need a way for my trainers to review test results - not just score. We look for opportunities to reinforce content.
The thing is that this information is submitted to the system through the SCORM interactivities. This process is rather standardized.
However, it depends on the system peculiarities how the system works with these records.
For example, you can test this in Cloud SCORM LMS and see, what information is recorded.

Defender Bower signs new deal at Robins
Towering defender Matt Bower has today signed a new contract with Cheltenham Town.
Bower, who made his Football League debut for the Robins earlier this season against Carlisle United, has put pen to paper on a new deal to remain at the club until at least the summer of 2019.
Manager Gary Johnson said: "I'm delighted that Matt has signed a contract to stay with us.
"Matt is still a work in progress for us, but he is taking everything onboard and now that he has the security of another year on his contract I fully expect him to kick on immediately.
"It's important that we pick the right time to give Matt a start and his opportunity.
"He has made his Football League debut this season and the experience of being part of the squad and travelling with the team every week has really helped him develop.
"Matt is only 19 but he has already been involved a lot and has gained vital experience. He has a big future in the game and I'll make sure I look after him and we get the timing right with his development."
Cheltenham-born Bower has been part of the club set-up since he was 13-years-old and has worked his way through the Academy ranks.
Bower – who has previously been on loan at Cirencester Town - signed his first professional deal with the club in 2016, after making his first team debut in the FA Trophy clash with Oxford City.
Bower said: "I'm really pleased to have agreed new terms and to continue on my path with Cheltenham.
"It's my home-town club, I'm very happy here and with the way I've pushed myself and learnt over the last few seasons under the coaching staff here.
"I'm now looking forward to the future, pushing for a place in the team and continuing to learn and develop my game at the Robins."

Donohue: Family medical history may yield clues in young athletes' deaths
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I live in an area of small towns. In the town nearest me, a young boy suddenly died after a basketball game. How could that happen? Aren't the players medically screened before the season starts? It's said he died of a large heart. What does that mean? — A.L.
The death of a young person is always a tragedy. The sudden death of a young athlete is an intolerable tragedy because these young people are the picture of health. Such deaths are said to happen in one out of 50,000 to 133,000 young male athletes every year in the United States. Most schools required a doctor's exam before a student is allowed to participate in athletics. However, many of these boys have no signs of heart disease and have never complained of any suspicious symptoms, like chest pain, shortness of breath or fainting spells.
I take an "enlarged heart" to mean hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the heart condition that is most frequently cited as the cause of death in young athletes. In half of those with this condition, genes are responsible for the heart's enlargement. In those boys, a close examination of their family history often reveals relatives who died young and unexpectedly. The heart enlargement that comes from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy takes place in areas of the heart that make it difficult to pump blood out of the heart. That is the cause of death. It usually happens during play or just after completing play. Quite often, a physical examination of the heart reveals a heart murmur. Further investigation with an echocardiogram (sound-wave pictures of the heart) demonstrates the abnormal enlargement, and the difficulty the heart faces in pumping blood.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy isn't the only cause of sudden death in young athletes. Abnormalities of the heart arteries, infections (often viral) of the heart muscle and an assortment of conditions usually present from birth, and usually difficult to detect are documented to be lethal heart disorders that lead to death during vigorous exercise.
As for additional screening, an ongoing debate centers on the use of an EKG as part of the requirements for athletic participation. It's an unsettled issue. I'm for it.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the pain that suddenly springs up under the ribs while running? It happens a lot to me. What causes it? How do you get rid of it? Sometimes I have to stop and sit for five minutes before it goes. — L.F.
That's a side stitch. Some say it's a cramp in the diaphragm muscle, the chief breathing muscle. Others say it comes from a shunting of blood away from the diaphragm to the legs. A third explanation is that abdominal organs are pulling on their supporting ligaments when the feet strike the ground.
One way to end a side stitch is to bend forward while simultaneously tightening the abdominal muscles and digging your fingers into the painful area under the ribs. Another is to stretch your arms over your head while deeply inhaling. A third is to inhale while bending over, then staying in that position and exhaling through pursed lips.

Exclusive Canvas Art by Gurgaon Based Artist Reaches World Art Dubai
Art & CultureEditor's PickPerforming Arts
By Team Suburb	 Last updated Oct 12, 2020
The art creations by Tanisha Bakshi created ripples at World Art Dubai that ended on October 10 organised at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 8th-10th October 2020.
The artist's mesmerising brushwork showcasing the most beautiful human emotion- a mother's love was greatly appreciated by the guests and fellow artists at the prestigious World Art Dubai.
Tanisha Bakshi
MAHFOOZ is a painting done on a mother's shawl that represents the emotions and the precious bond shared only between a mother and her child. A brilliant piece of work in charcoal and oil, the creation is hung like a scroll. "Every scratch, every hole and every wrinkle in a mother's cloth has a memory," says Tanisha.
Based out of Gurgaon, this 25 years old, young artist has shown exceptional maturity in her realistic work. Her tryst with colours started at a very early age. In fact, it comes as a surprise to many that this topper in school who scored 97 per cent marks, went ahead to study art from the Delhi Collage of Art despite many doors of some of the best colleges had opened to her.
A Theatre Treat for Gurugram
Colours of realism
In her latest series, she has tried to capture the 'Essence of Slum Life' by using two and three-dimensional surfaces, which represent the daily expectations and harsh realities of the slum dwellers amidst it all, the pure and unconditional love of a mother with her child. For Tanisha, her biggest inspiration is her mother, and thus she started to curate a series to depict the bond, so priceless.
While researching for her painting series on the slum life of India, she explored that there are thousands of children who do not have access to food and education. She decided to start an NGO to contribute to society and bring happiness in the slum life by providing them with food, utilities and quality education.
This passion of working on inequality and social issues led to her project – Annsagar Foundation in Palam, Gurgaon. The NGO started in 2013 and has been consistent in its efforts ever since. It is overwhelming to see how the young artist without fail has supported more than 12 nearby slums dwellings during the pandemic. "We distribute approximately, 2500+ food boxes every day.''
Tanisha has participated in many national and international group shows and currently she is working on her solo show post the pandemic era.

Rare Gauguin from Tahiti period up for auction in Paris
Agence France-Presse . Paris | Published: 22:51, Dec 03,2019
'Te BouraoII' by Paul Gauguin on display at the Artcurial auction house in Paris. — AFP photo
A rare canvas by French post-impressionist artist Paul Gauguin from his period on the Polynesian island of Tahiti is set to go on auction in Paris on Tuesday, with an estimate of 5 to 7 million euros ($5.5-7.7 million).
There is keen interest in the sale at the Artcurial auction house amid growing controversy over Gauguin's relationships with young girls in Tahiti and his depictions of them.
The painting, 'Te Bourao II', is one of the few works by Gauguin from his Tahiti period still in private hands. It dates from 1897 and shows an evocative Tahiti landscape.
Its name comes from the word for 'tree' in the local language. According to Artcurial, the last sale in France of a Gauguin from this period was 22 years ago.
'This oil on canvas is a legacy piece that encapsulates the artist's Tahitian themes and obsessions from a period when he was plagued by multiple torments,' Artcurial said.
Recent years have seen increasing attention on Gauguin's attitudes to the young women who feature in the paintings of this period. An exhibition of the painter currently at the National Gallery in London said 'that it aims to consider Gauguin's relationships and the impact of colonialism through the prisms of contemporary debate.'

Regional delegates contemplate legal aid in civil, commercial matters
The opportunity to recover cost in civil and commercial matters is especially useful in the Guyana context as the Caribbean region contemplates the evidence and access to justice convention.Delegates during the second day session of the Hague Conference on Private International LawAs the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) wrapped-up at the Pegasus Hotel, Georgetown on Friday, delegates from within the Caribbean were considering the aspect of legal aid that is afforded under the Convention.Head of the International Legal Cooperation in civil matters at the Ministry of Justice of Brazil, Sâmia Cristine Farias de Albuquerque presented to the conference how the Evidence and Access to Justice Conventions was implemented in Brazil.Justice Farias de Albuquerque pointed out that in Brazil, the Ministry of Justice in her country is the Central Authority for the conventions in both civil and criminal matters and other bases of reciprocity.Brazil has had some difficulty in implementing the convention as the language was a major barrier, coupled with uncertainty of the foreign country assigning the same level of access of justice to its nationals, Justice Farias de Albuquerque noted."In Brazil everybody can access the justice system with a public defence if you don't have the money to pay for a lawyer. Anyone, you can be a Brazilian or you can be a foreigner resident or non-resident," Justice Farias de Albuquerque said in her presentation.This provision is provided even in civil matters, she noted. Further, Justice Farias de Albuquerque pointed out that the convention makes provisions for reimbursements to the states that are requesting evidence under the convention.The revelation that Brazil most times provides legal aid to persons who access this convention, sparked discussion between legal practitioners at the conference from mostly Caribbean states.Local mediator and Attorney Teni Housty remarked on the opportunities available for legal aid in this regard. "In the context of legal aid itself and access to justice, in Guyana, legal aid is based on an economic threshold for the applicant… the opportunity to recover cost is actually a useful one that can be pursued and particularly pursued in an emerging Guyanese context."Guyana makes provision for access to legal aid in most criminal matters and in civil matters, aid is provided in divorce cases. There are similar provisions in at least five other Caribbean states represented at the conference.Jamaican Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte noted that Jamaica's small economy would make providing legal aid in civil and commercial matters expensive.Echoing Forte's sentiments, Belizean Supreme Court Judge Shona Griffith said, "We struggle to provide the criminal legal aid so I don't know how it would be possible for civil legal aid."However, Turks and Caicos Islands Chief Justice Margaret Ramsay-Hale pointed out that the island states do offer legal aid in some civil matters, one being divorce. "But the State is competent to claw it back once the case is settled from the money that you've received. So if we helped you, we claw back all or some of it at the end of the day if you succeed," Ramsay-Hale explained.Latin American Representative of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), Ignacio Goicoechea pointed out to the delegates the Evidence and Access to Justice Convention is purposed to eliminate discrimination between non-residents and non-nationals. Further, the convention does not require any implementation of mechanisms for legal aid.Citing article one of the convention, Goicoechea told the delegates that nationals, "shall be entitled to legal aid for court proceedings in civil and commercial matters in each contracting state on the same conditions as if they themselves were nationals or habitual residents in that state."Further, "The only commitment that a state would assume in regard to chapter one which is legal aid is not to discriminate for residents or nationality," Justice Goicoechea explained.This means that states which cannot afford legal aid in civil and commercial matters, would benefit from non-discrimination abroad or against their nationals. The states which sign onto this convention are under no obligation to change their systems with regards to legal aid. read more

President urges unemployed youths to become entrepreneurs
A one-day youth conference was on Friday hosted at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre with the aim of implementing policies to help young people from across the country.President David Granger delivering the feature address at the youth conferenceThe event saw attendance of youths between the ages of 14 and 35, who came out with the intent of voicing their concerns.They were encouraged by youth leaders to use social media to attract the attention of policy makers.Speaking to the youths, Director of Youth, Melissa Carmichael, explained to the gathering that young people are important to nation building. According to her, young people account for some 74 per cent of Guyana's population.She explained, "At the beginning of 2012, the world population surpassed seven billion, with people under the age of 30 accounting for more than half of this number, 50.5 per cent. Then there were 1.2 billion youths aged 15 to 24 years, globally in 2015, accounting for one out of every six people worldwide. By 2030…the number of youths is projected to (grow) by seven per cent to nearly 1.3 billion".Carmichael said she hopes the data shared paints a vivid picture that youths are not only demographically significant, but are essential to the world's human resource.Delivering the feature address, President David Granger said he recognises that employment is one of the major issues faced by youths, hence efforts have been exhausted to ensure children are educated."So unemployment in years to come should be a thing of the past. We should be able to eliminate (it) once we go to school and stay in school and don't drop out. Once we drop out, unfortunately the chances of being employed become very remote," the president said.The Head of State urged the youths to become entrepreneurs, and not allow unemployment to keep them down.Youths were also treated to a mini exhibition at the conference, which featured robotics and science.The first such youth conference was hosted last year. Even as Government is encouraging youth development and participation in society, its cabinet consists mainly of persons over the age of 35.In Guyana, youth unemployment among the 15-to-24-year-old cohort is at 21.6 per cent, representing almost twice the unemployment rate of other adults.Chartered Accountant Christopher Ram last month blasted Government for being unable to effectively address Guyana's unemployment rate.In an interview with this publication, Ram had expressed the belief that not enough attention is being paid to the economic and social side of unemployment. read more

Whoever came up with the term "as easy as pie" certainly never made our baked apples! Pies may be tasty, but it's no secret they are exceedingly labor intensive and time consuming to make. Save yourself the effort by whipping up not only a deliciously healthy dessert, but one that takes half the time to prepare!
A meal is never complete without a sweet treat, especially when leaves are falling and rain is approaching. And with autumn quickly turning to winter, we are baking this superb and cozy dessert to warm our hearts and rid of us goosebumps. Not only are these baked apples totally delicious, they are comforting, uplifting, cinnamony, guilt-free, and amazing as leftovers! What more can you ask for!
A mixture of tart and sweet apples make for a flawless pairing thanks to our Bored-O Blanc. We like to use mostly granny smith apples since Grape Nectar offsets the sharp bite of the green apples, making for a flawless balance of sweet and sour. Because nutmeg and ginger are such strong flavors, our recipe calls for only a pinch of each, but feel free to liberate your taste preferences with however much spice you like! Our sauvignon blanc wine grape sugar soothes the acidic bite from fresh squeezed lemon juice while the hint of sweet fig from our sugar alternative pops with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Many "healthier" baked apple recipes call for brown or coconut sugar because they add a rich, molasses flavor; however, Bored-O Blanc replaces all refined sugar while adding an earthy element that matches the earthy taste of apples. Plus, using Grape Nectar sugar alternative instead of processed agave, honey, or cane sugar makes this dish clean and wholesome. Not to mention your whole house will smell amazing, bringing back memories of grandma's homemade apple pie. With less calories and far less work than any recipe of grandma's, these baked apples are the ultimate indulgence to bring back those happy memories of the past.
Oh, and did we mention that this dessert is almost better as leftovers! Almost. It's pretty hard to beat warm apples right out of the oven, especially topped with cold ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream, but we challenge you to try your leftovers (if there are any) right out of the fridge, served over plain greek yogurt when you #WAKEUP. That's right, dessert for breakfast. Life's pretty hard, right?
Bored-O Blanc grape sweetener softens the sharp tang of lemon and granny smith apples while pulling together flavors from each ingredient to create a heartwarming dish. This dessert is "as easy as baked apples" and guaranteed to please all palettes. Falling in love with this #SweetStuff!
Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for a remaining 5-10 minutes until apples are slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let apples sit and cool for at least 10 minutes.
Serve with vanilla gelato, whipped cream, fresh berries, or all three! Apples will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and are delicious reheated in the microwave.

Socialisms and Postsocialisms in a Global Context - film forum
Socialisms and Postsocialisms in a Global Context is a forum for sharing and discussing work with colleagues working on resonant themes. It is also a shared space for intellectual conversation about the contributions the studies of socialism and postsocialism can make in and across different disciplines – anthropology, history, socio-legal studies, sociology, political science and international relations. We are particularly interested in thinking about what insights derived from studies of socialism and postsocialism can offer with regard to understanding the current historical moment.
We do not consider socialism and postsocialism to be a geographically delimited area of inquiry, but understand it as global and diverse phenomenon and therefore invite participation of faculty and students across disciplinary and regional expertise. We particularly welcome advanced DPhil students who want to share their research and ideas in a constructive and supportive environment. The group is convened through a collaboration between faculty members affiliated with the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies and the School Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, but is open to all interested faculty and graduate students.

Save 20% off a Stan or Netflix Subscription
One of the little known features of the Apple TV, is the ability to subscribe to some content services, and bill this back to your iTunes account. Similar to In-App purchases in your favorite apps on your iPhone or iPad, which are taken out of your iTunes credit before eating into your credit card, the same process exists on the Apple TV.
There are very few apps on the Apple TV that support these 'in-app purchases' with iTunes as your billing method, but two of them in Australia are Stan, or Netflix. While the Stan and Netflix iOS apps don't support in-app purchases, the Apple TV 'apps' do, meaning you must have an Apple TV, and can't make use of this trick with an iPhone or iPad.

Fon comes to Australia with the launch of 'Telstra Air'
Originally launching as 'Telstra WiFi', as part of a push to build a WiFi Nation, Telstra has now decided on calling it's network 'Telstra Air'. Already available at over 4,000 hotspots, in 250 towns around Australia as part of the earlier free WiFi trial, the next step will be Telstra customers with the Gateway Max modems opting in to participate – sharing some of their bandwidth in exchange for being able to access their own home broadband usage at other hotspots. Telstra Air is set to launch next Tuesday, 30th June.

A lap around Telstra's Sydney Discovery Store
Back in October 2014, Telstra opened their $112mil refurbished store in George Street – becoming their 'new' flagship store and was dubbed the 'Discovery' store. Not just called 'Discovery' because it was something brand new for customers to explore and discover, but also a testing bed for Telstra to work out what works well, what could be improved, and what can be transferred into new stores as they become refurbished and get a refresh.

Trying on the Apple Watch
When the Apple Watch was announced late last year, I knew I wanted one. But yet, as preorders were announced and the 24th April came and went, I resisted preordering one just yet. First of all, I wanted to try one on for myself, and make sure I pick the right watch to start with. Not that I'm rushed for time, with current orders not shipping until June. And I'm not exactly a stranger to smartwatches, with a Pebble living on my wrist for the last year or so. So today, I went into an Apple Store, and went "hands on" (or should that be wrists?) with the Apple Watch.

Review: Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro (13″)
There's no shortage of tablets available on the market, but Lenovo's trying to do something different with the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro. It's an Android tablet that has a massive 13" screen, and also packs an inbuilt projector.
If you're used to other tablets, chances are they would have been smaller than the Tablet 2 Pro – this thing is massive. The screen comes in at 13.3", and packs a 2560 x 1440 resolution, giving you a pixel density of 221 ppi. It's great for reading text and browsing the web on while the bright and vivid colors help make your photos look fantastic. The viewing angles aren't too bad, so there's not much to worry about what angle you're looking the Tablet 2 Pro from.

A detailed dictionary of musical terms from A to Z.
Anyone can Google a musical term so why would you want a guide like this?
Well, the fact is that Google usually gives you a set of answers some of which may be good and others which may be poor or even downright wrong in some cases, meaning you have the job of separating the wheat from the chaff. As a result of this, if you regularly want to check out musical terms Google can be quite tedious to use.
In this book all of the musical terms are easy to find and are properly indexed. They have been carefully prepared and organised by a professional and are all presented in the same easy-to-use format.
The eBook file can also be loaded onto your smart phone, tablet or laptop meaning it can be accessed any time anywhere – even when you don't have an internet connection.

We All Fall Down: The American Mortgage Crisis
Written and Produced by Kevin Stocklin, directed by Gary Gasgarth
Drexel East
Bexley, OH
Filmed over a twelve-month period, from Rochester, NY and Cleveland, to Seattle, Los Angeles and San Diego, WE ALL FALL DOWN also shows how an out-of-control "mortgage machine" has today led to home foreclosures nationwide, featuring interviews with families who have been devastated, as loan defaults and evictions spread from the poor to middle-class sectors of the populace, in turn creating millions of abandoned and disintegrating properties in neighborhoods and cities throughout the U.S. Their emotionally moving stories reveal the all-too-real personal consequences for Americans caught up in this financial spiral.

Why Wright State Is Wrong: The Controversial Appointment Of Dr. Larry James
<?fontfamily><?param Times>
Who is Dr. Larry James? A man who in his biography claims responsibility for "Fixing Hell." Whose hell did he fix? Or did he look the other way while the Devil's work was done?
Between 2003 and 2007, Army Colonel Larry James served as Chief Psychologist of the Joint Intelligence Group and a senior member of the Behavioral Science Consultation Team (BSCT). James' job was advising on interrogation and "behavior management" for the men and kids at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. In 2004, he functioned as the director of the Behavioral Science Unit at the Abu Ghraib prison.
That's right. His past includes both the notorious Gitmo and Abu Ghriab, the infamous torture site in Iraq.
Having retired from the U.S. Army, James is currently the Dean of the Professional Psychology Department at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. James is licensed to practice psychology in Louisiana, Ohio, and Guam. Human rights advocates argue that Wright State is absolutely wrong in appointing James as Dean because of his questionable past.
Public records indicate that while James served at Gitmo in the spring of 2003, "…abuse and interrogations was widespread and cruel treatment was official policy," according to the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). The Center argued that James' "conduct" at Gitmo should "warrant immediate investigation."
"Detainee and government reports of abuse during the period of Dr. James' first deployment include beatings, rape threats, religious and sexual humiliation and painful body positions," the Center stated.
Under James' tenure, Guantanamo developed and implemented the Camp Delta "Behavioral Management Plan." The Plan called for treating new detainees in a way that would "enhance and exploit [their] disorientation and disorganization." How was this accomplished? Prolonged periods of solitary confinement that are known to cause hallucinations, extreme anxiety, muscular atrophy, weight loss, and other physical conditions that may be irreversible, according to the Center.
While James has denied responsibility, his critics have charged that he used his access to confidential medical records of detainees to target their "physical and mental vulnerabilities."
At the recent August American Psychological Association (APA) conference in Toronto, the Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) handed out fliers with the headline: "Department of Defense Ensures Psychologists' Collusion in Torture." Larry James was singled out as one of the psychologists in question.
Both the CCIJ and the CCR called upon the Minister of Public Safety in Canada, Peter Van Loan, to investigate James' for possible war crimes. They included an 8-page Appendix extensively foot-noted including numerous references to admissions from James' book, "Fixing Hell."
The Appendix points out that while James frequently claimed he was reforming things, his actual accounts show he either turned a blind eye to torture, or may have facilitated it.
On page 50-51 of "Fixing Hell," James writes the following:
"I saw Luther and three MPs wrestling with a detainee on the floor. It was an awful sight. I wanted to run back to my room and wash my eyes with bleach. The detainee was naked except for the pink panties I had seen hanging on the door earlier. He also had lipstick and a wig on. The four men were holding the prisoner down and trying to outfit him with the matching pink nightgown, but he was fighting hard. My first instinct was to rush in and start barking orders at the men, demanding they stop this ridiculous and abusive wrestling match. But I managed to quell that urge and wait."
James admitted he went to have a cup of coffee and then intervened to urge the interrogators to build better relations with the man being tortured. James writes: "I never once said anything about the lingerie or interrogation. My purpose was to build a relationship with Luther, rather than to attack him as being wrong or as a human being."
Hell hath been fixed.
When another prisoner was being abused by large MPs screaming in his face for three hours straight, James once again "fixed" hell by suggesting they might want to offer him a drink or a bathroom break.
While James was at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, court records and affidavits indicate that prisoners were not only isolated, but their sleep cycles were deliberately disturbed, they were exposed to extremely hot and cold temperatures, forced to smell unpleasant odors and subject to "dietary manipulations."
But what does that mean in practical terms? Allegations by one detainee claim that he went for 3-4 weeks without any solid food, living on Ensure and water. Reports by six other high-value detainees allege they were subject to the same liquid diets.
According to the Red Cross report, there was also the use of "prolonged diapering" to force the detainees to urinate and defecate on themselves. They were deprived of using a toilet. Six high-value detainees reported being repeatedly slammed against walls 20-30 times consecutively as an interrogation technique.
If James had the urge to go in and "bark orders" when confronting torture, he most likely had command authority over the torturers at Gitmo. Remember that the standard definition for torture is the deliberate infliction of physical or mental distress on detainees.
Under Canadian law, it is a war crime if any military personnel are found to be "committing outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment."
Dr. Trudy Bond, a Toledo psychologist, filed an extensive complaint against James with the Louisiana State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (LSBEP). Bond's complaint specifically charged that James violated his ethical duties as a licensed psychologist to keep his patients from harm, to protect confidential information, and to obtain their informed consent.
Bond filed her complaint on February 29, 2008. Within a month, the LSBEP chose not to investigate the matter. On June 19, 2008, Bond asked the Board to reconsider. In less than a week, the LSBEP reaffirmed their decision not to investigate.
Bond next turned to the courts, asking the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge to review the LSBEP's decision on June 13, 2009. The Court ruled in favor of the Board. On August 6 of this year, Bond filed an appeal with the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeals.
Bond has taken similar action in Ohio as well as with the American Psychological Association. On July 8, 2008, she filed a formal complaint against James with the Ohio State Board of Psychology for, among other things, that James' conduct is an ethical violation because it "…substantially harmed or is likely to substantially harm a person."
In her complaint to the American Psychological Association (APA), Bond cited the Report from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) published after their visit to Guantanamo. The Report documented behavior commonly regarded as torture prior to Bush and Cheney. The rest of the world still defines torture in the traditional sense.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has demanded that medical professionals including James be a "specific focus" of an investigation assessing whether the interrogations violated legal or medical ethics. Steven Reisner of PHR said, "The conclusions that these interrogation techniques cause no lasting harm is the equivalent of psychological practice."
In a report issued by PHR in 2009, they categorically concluded, that "Health professionals played central roles in developing, implementing, and providing justification for torture."
While the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have come out unequivocally against the interrogation techniques used at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, the APA has waffled on the issue.
In 2005, the APA's Board endorsed the role of psychologists involved in interrogations as consistent with APA ethics, if it was done for the purpose of making the interrogations "safe, legal and effective." In 2008, the APA passed another resolution against its members being present in any facility where U.S. and international law was being violated unless they were working for the benefit of the detainees.
James is at the center of this ongoing debate, and now so is Wright State University.
Whether James is qualified to be licensed in Ohio or to be a Dean at Wright State is probably best decided after a careful reading of "Fixing Hell." One of the most telling passages from the book reads as follows: "Sex was a complicated factor in much of our work at Abu Ghraib. I came to know several single women at Abu Ghraib who got pregnant, received adverse legal action, and were sent home. Private Jenni Nelson was a short, fat, seriously ugly young lady. She looked as though she was crying all the time. Nevertheless, she got a boyfriend, got pregnant, and was promptly sent home by her company commander. Did she do it on purpose to get out of Abu Ghraib? Probably. And I'm sure she wasn't the first."
One wonders why Wright State University would hire a man as their Professional Psychology Department Dean who has so little sensitivity to Private Nelson, as well as the prinsoners he was charged to protect. The reality is Private Nelson took action to get out of Abu Ghrai, and not be charged with war crimes. James stayed and wrote a book insulting Nelson and covering-up crimes against humanity.
Was he fixing hell? Human rights advocates say he helped create it for his patients and they are doing everything to hold him accountable for his admitted actions. Bond is currently re-filing an ethics complaint against James in Ohio. There's an ongoing campaign by the Center for Constitutional Rights called "When Healers Harm" demanding that we "hold health professionals accountable for torture."

There's a peculiar lawsuit pending in Franklin County: Fox Investigation, Inc. vs. Linda Leisure.
Linda Leisure first met death row inmates during her volunteer work as a prison minister in Ohio. Inspired by President Bush's call for "volunteerism" she worked up the nerve to visit men she feared, yet wanted to help. Not unlike the Susan Sarandon character in Dead Man Walking, she listened to their stories and ministered to their needs.
One of those man's needs, it turned out, involved helping the wife of death-row inmate John Spirko prove that her husband was not guilty. The Spirko case peaked Leisure's interest in investigating murder cases. She felt her talents might be better used in ensuring that justice was being done in individual cases rather than preaching to the condemned. Leisure took a job with Fox Investigation, Inc., a private investigating firm headed by Richard H. Smith, an ex-Columbus police officer and an ex-investigator at the Ohio Public Defender's Office (OPDO). Fox Investigation often did contract work for the OPDO investigating the cases of death row inmates.
Little did Leisure know the reasons why Smith was no longer a cop or state investigator. But she quickly found out why. Soon after going to work at Fox, Leisure claims that Smith "wanted me to falsify time records and interviews on these murder cases." Appalled, she left Fox Investigation, convinced that certain death row inmates were being denied basic "due process" guaranteed them under the Constitution. And even more frightening, that as a result, some innocent American citizen might be executed. This spurred her into action.
On October 25, 1994 Leisure sent a letter to Common Pleas Judge James O'Grady outlining the above allegations against Smith. On November 14, Leisure voluntarily took and passed a polygraph exam substantiating her charges. But it was politics as usual in the Franklin County Courts and nobody took her accusations seriously, as Smith continued to do business.
Fortuitously, Leisure shared the same attorney as Chester "Briss" Craig, former deputy investigator at the OPDO. Craig informed her that he had been Smith's boss at the OPDO and had complained to the Ohio Inspector General with similar concerns. In January 1992, Craig charged "…that some of the investigators were turning in false reports and were not providing the support services to the attorneys as required." Leisure tracked down the state investigative report that essentially verified Craig's allegations.
The report was none too kind to her old boss, Mr. Smith. During his tenure from April 1983 to November 1988 at the OPDO, Smith was fond of referring to black defendants as "niggers" and white ones as "scumbags." These "niggers" and "scumbags" were the very clients Smith was hired to work for and investigate their claims of innocence.
Smith told several of his fellow investigators that he didn't like "working for a nigger," referring to Craig. Smith admitted in the report that he had arranged for police friends to arrest Deputy Director Craig on a drunk driving charge. "I don't consider it a conspiracy at all. I was just going to let the man expose himself," Smith said of Craig.
Speaking of exposing oneself, it turns out that Smith had been forced off the Columbus Police force for doing just that with his most private parts to seven different women, including five minors on October 9, 1981. He had previously been reprimanded many times for various acts of misconduct, including engaging in sex while on duty, and showing up drunk and threatening his ex-wife at her house.
Who was exposing who?
Leisure tried desperately to take the story to the press, with no luck. Depressed and nearly defeated, she picked up a copy of the now-defunct Columbus Free Press, which I edited at the time. She claims God spoke to her and told her that I would publish the story. Who was I to argue with God, particularly when he sends me such a hot story?
Anyway, Leisure's story appeared on the cover of the January 1995 Free Press. Happy ending? Alas, hardly.
Leisure began to receive harassing and threatening phone calls; someone mailed drugs to her house; and Fox Investigation and Richard Smith sued Linda Leisure for $150,000 in damages due to his loss of reputation. Leisure's been unable to hold a steady job and had to re-mortgage her home in order to pay an attorney.
After perusing Mr. Smith's Columbus police files, Leisure's attorney recently wrote to Smith's attorney: "Quite frankly, after review of such file, I believe Mr. Smith would have great difficulty proving to a jury that any action by Miss Leisure caused damage to his reputation." Standard legal principle: one must first have a reputation before it can be damaged.
Leisure was moved by the spirit, driven by her fund.

Teaser of much awaited 'Mahanati' starring Dulquer Salman, Samantha Prabhu, Vijay Deverakonda and Keerthy will arrive on 14 April. This film is a biopic on actress Savitri of golden era of cinema and she is played by Keerthi while Dulquer is playing the superstar Gemini Ganesan. Samantha and Vijay will be portraying two journalists who have had an important role to play in the life of Savitri. Star cast of this film is certainly one of the most impressive ever put together in Indian cinema and similar are the expectations from the film itself.
Indian film industry don't really focus on the biopics though the trend has started to put up the lives of sports persons up on the screen in some way or the other. Vidya Balan is so far the only actress who have done the biopic on another actress as she portrayed Silk Smitha in 'Dirty Picture'. Mahanati is only the second biopic of this nature and hence audience members don't know what to expect which is generating the curiosity even more so for people who would not have much idea of the life and times of Savitri.
Teaser of the film is awaited by almost all of Southern India film audience to say the least because such is the star cast. Vjay Deverakonda is one of the most exciting star working in Telugu industry these days and post Arjun Reddy, every film of his is most awaited. Dulquer owns his audience in Malayalam cinema and continuously growing to be a pan Indian super star. Samantha has recently delivered a blockbuster in Telugu by the name of 'Rangasthalam' and has a massive fan base in Tamil cinema as well which is why film will be dubbed in Tamil. Mahanati has generated quite a pre-release hype and will come out on 9 May.


Joining knowledge and expertise in Thermal Power Systems Education of three leading EU Universities and six leading Universities in Asia and support from national and international industrial companies located in Partner Countries will ensure successful completion of the project tasks.
The project will be run in close cooperation with a large number of national, regional and international industry stakeholders to increase its impact.
The goal of ASIAXIS project, explains the coordinator of the project is to share breakthrough experiences (leading practices) in teaching systems for energy production, especially internal combustion engines, and the ecological aspects related to them. These issues are very important, especially in Asian partner-countries, where electricity, as before, is in large part generated using traditional fossil fuels (coal), and whose cities every day face serious issues with air pollution, especially due to urban transport.

The 14th CONGRESS LOS ANGELES-USA AUGUST 28-31, 1982
Assyrian Universal Alliance > Resolutions > Congress Resolutions > The 14th CONGRESS LOS ANGELES-USA AUGUST 28-31, 1982
The Assyrian delegates came from distant countries (Uruguay, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Iran and USA; and support telegrams from England, W. Germany, Canada, Australia, Iran and USA) to participate in the Assyrian Universal Alliance 14th Congress. Their reports submitted to the general body were thoroughly discussed along with the recent development in the Assyrian communities with regard to their social, economical and political situation.
A thorough and investigative look into the prevailing circumstances of the Assyrian Nation shows a retreat from bad to worse. We say it with sorrow and pettiness. The Assyrians are being hurt by internal retro-activities and non-sense rivalries. In addition, other foreign elements are meddling in our internal affairs with a purpose to ruin our national work and cripple the effort to gain our legal rights.
The Congress after discussing the situation in light of the above factors resolved that the Assyrian national work in these circumstances is to act collectively in a nationalistic manner. To accomplish this, a request in this meaning is to be forwarded in fraternal spirit to our political, national and social organizations all over the world to get together in a national convention for this purpose and for the purpose of solving our problems and uniting our masses.
The Assyrian Universal Alliance Congress in Los Angeles believes that the Assyrian people are aware of their present deplorable situation and will emphasize on this resolution. The Assyrian Universal Alliance will further follow up and fulfill its national responsibilities and will let other nations and the world opinion listen to the just voice of the Assyrians.
The Assyrians as a peace-loving nation have and are claiming their legal rights in their original homeland, the present Iraq. It is vital that they enjoy their political rights as a nation since they are serving the country and have obligations towards its security. On this basis they must have equal social and political opportunities similar to other citizens of Iraq.
