Historical investigation is a self-justifying effort. The discovery of the forgotten event or a different view of a circumstance or condition contributes to the total body of knowledge and needs no further defense. However, in this instance, there is a benefit in briefly tracing the ruminations that lead to this particular study. In short, the historical significance of the post-World War II American-Malayan relationship is hardly self-evident. The obvious questions: why this subject and wherein lies the value?

Beyond the Wasteland
Consciousness for an age of accelerating change
An Unknown World
Posted byjasonheppenstall September 30, 2020 September 30, 2020 Posted inUncategorizedTags:kapuscinski, Laos
Perhaps my psychic defences were worn down a little by the almost incessant barrage of fear coming out of the popular media. Or maybe it was the result of the aforementioned leg injury, which ended up turning septic before a match-sized thorn was eventually noticed and extracted. Or maybe it was Mars being retrograde, or the lousy weather at the moment or … well whatever it was, I've been feeling a bit worn down and jaded this past week.
In the UK, we now seem to have a government that rules by diktat, with edicts about wearing facemasks or 'social distancing' rules being enthusiastically enforced by a police force that is supposed to enforce laws ratified in Parliament. These same police most recently put a stop to a peaceful rally in Trafalgar Square being held by those who don't consent to the power grab. In the process they arrested a German doctor who was about to give a speech, and punched an old woman in the stomach. Habeas corpus, the lawful recourse of people who feel they have been wrongfully imprisoned is now openly flouted.
Things certainly felt gloomy for a little while there until I picked up a book poking out of my shelf that suddenly seemed to catch my eye. The book in question was Ryszard Kapuscinski's The Shadow of the Sun – a memoir of the late Polish journalist's years of living in Africa and reporting from some of the most blighted places in the world. I'd bought it at Nairobi Airport on a trip to Kenya a few years ago, and it had been sitting there unread ever since. Pretty soon I found myself engrossed in Kapuscinski's (RK for short) account of post-civil war Liberia.
"We drove through the streets of Monrovia. On both sides jutted forth the black, charred stumps of burned demolished houses. Not much remains here of such destroyed buildings because everything – bricks tin and surviving beams included – will be instantly dismantled and plundered. There are tens of thousands of people in the city who have fled the bush, have no roof over their heads, and just waiting for a bomb or a grenade to strike a house. When it does they descend upon it at once. With the materials they are able to carry away they will erect a hut, a shack or simply a roof to protect them from the sun and the rain. The city which was probably built initially of simple low buildings is now cluttered with these haphazardly not together structures and looks even more stunted having assumed the appearance of something makeshift, impermanent, recalling more than anything an encampment of nomads."
There follows an account of the history behind why Liberia got into this state. He writes in a similar way in the same book about the genocide in Rwanda, the chaos of Zimbabwe, the dictator Idi Amin and the conflicts over diamonds in Angola. His stories are full of thugs, warlords, child soldiers, sleazy gem dealers, roadblock bullies, torturers and villains. The most common item to appear on the pages is the AK-47 assault rifle, but – amazingly – RK is never morbid or exaggerating. If anything, through all the tragedy (and some less-than tragic tales, it must be said) the thing that shines through the most is the amazing resilience of the people who have to live through all this trauma and yet still, somehow, keep smiling.
All of a sudden, my concerns seemed rather petty. Embarrassing even. The heavy mood lifted, and I felt an upwelling of gratitude. It was a reminder to me that there's a whole world out there, a world where people think differently, act differently and where the values they hold might be incomprehensible unless you take the time to understand where they're coming from. And it's through writers like RK that we get to see glimpses of that world and broaden our own outlook.
Anyway, because I had a lot of other work on this week I didn't have much time to write a longer blog piece, so I'm going to share with you a few pages of my diary from when I was backpacking around Laos, in southeast Asia, at the turn of the century. We'd been staying in a small remote village for a couple of weeks among people who were only just being exposed to the consumer culture. If nothing else, I hope it acts as a reminder that there's a whole different world out there.
This particular entry recalls the time when me and a couple of friends found ourselves in need of an exorcism.
That time I underwent an exorcism in rural Laos.
We spent a further week in the little riverside village of Muang Ngoi and got to know many people there, if only by sight. Mamma (the old lady whose house we were staying in – her real name was unpronounceable, we were told) and Auhern continued to look after us although Auhern had to go away to Vientiane to visit a nephew who had had a serious motorbike accident and who may or may not have lost a leg.
Days would be spent sitting on a pleasant sandy beach beside the clear flowing river. Swimming in the river provided a great opportunity to exercise and get clean at the same time. Normally there were plenty of children playing or working down on the beach and we got to know a few of them.
This being the dry season, the river level was low and vegetable gardens had been planted on the sandy slopes of the bank. In these gardens were technicolor lettuces, tomatoes, sweet peas and a host of other more exotic edibles. I offered to lend a hand to a family with the watering of their garden. The two young girls, Aun and Olid, thought this was very funny. Who'd have thought that a falang could do something useful? But watering the garden simply involved filling up a pewter watering can in the river and climbing the bank to the garden where the pure water could be administered to the dry sand. In this way I became known to Aun and Olid as 'nam falang' ('water foreigner').
The market came and went. This was a twice monthly event and one that was much anticipated by the villagers. The traders, a mix of different ethnicities, came the day before in a multitude of vessels and set up stalls in the market area at the centre of the village – some of the stalls being made of old bomb casings the Americans had dropped on them. We had excitedly been told that the market sold 'everything'. We later realised that the average Muang Ngoian concept of 'everything' innocently stretched not much further than tools, pans, clothes and string.
On market day a buffalo was slaughtered and the residents filed back from the execution spot with plastic bags of flesh, gibbets and blood. It took two strong women to carry the head along the street on a pole. The eyes of the dead beast looked placid, philosophical even. Later on two other women struggled along with the poor beast's heavy skin, which looked like a saggy pantomime costume complete with legs and udders. All the villagers ate buffalo that day, including us. We were invited to sit around with Mamma and Auhern, dipping balls of sticky rice into soup and munching the flesh wrapped up with raw chilli in lettuce leaves.
And we were invited to another village wedding. It seemed that having foreigners present was auspicious, and we were glad to join in. The festivities were lasting a full week and as such an unscheduled holiday at the village school had been called.
Michelle, Jon, Paula and I went along to the festivities, which were taking place under a bamboo framed tent over the road from Mamma's house. A young village couple were getting married and, predictably enough, lau-lau (home distilled rice spirit) was being liberally proffered. It wasn't long before I found myself solemnly dancing around in a circle – as was customary – with the various embarrassed-looking female villagers. Alas, the nature of too much lau-lau consumption is quite self-destructive and I eventually stumbled out of a villager's hut sometime in the middle of the night, not remembering that it was on stilts off the ground. I was lucky not to break a leg.
Although I didn't hear it at the time, the lau-lau had had a similarly bad effect on Jon and Paula and they found themselves simultaneously throwing up out of their window into the darkened street. This made quite a racket, and later on one of the villagers said he thought they were a pair of buffaloes that needed milking.
The next morning I wasn't allowed to indulge in a hangover. Even before breakfast we were dragged back to the wedding festivities, which were continuing apace, to drink more lau-lau.
The pace inside the hut was frenetic and I found myself surrounded by manically grinning men who were holding clear bottles and pewter cups and repeating a word that could only mean one thing: drink! They'd been up all night and one could only guess how much lau-lau they'd consumed. After a few cups of this someone decided I should eat something and I was spoon-fed some cold, greasy fried eggs and a lump of buffalo fat with the hairs still on one side. As it went down, I realised the friendly young buffalo who'd been tied outside the hut the day before – the one I'd been stroking and feeding cabbage leaves – was no longer there.
This was too much for me and it was a good job that Jon suddenly appeared and took me away from the crowd before I began retching. I spent the rest of the day on the beach being looked after by the others and acting as bait for the sand flies. Later in the day Mamma came to see me and gave me stern look. Deciding that I was in need of help she performed a blessing, which involved tying bits of string around my wrists and tutting at me in Laotian (she didn't speak a word of English, so it's amazing how well we all got along with her).
The next day, despite my bracelets, I felt truly awful. What's more, I was covered in sand fly bites and the itchiness was intense. I flinched away from the male villagers, worried that they may have more lau-lau hidden on them somewhere. Finally, the wedding celebrations had paused.
Unfortunately for all concerned this is when someone mentioned showing Mamma the horoscopes that we had found written on little scraps of paper in the Pak Ou caves. Michelle was first.
Mamma read it, cooing all the time and emitting high pitched squeals of delight. By the end of it Mamma's face was aglow with delight. Clearly she had a good horoscope. American Mitch, with his various dictionaries, managed to translate some of it which had something to do with Michelle's 'voice rising vertically', a quality which is considered to be very auspicious in Laos.
Jon was next. Mamma read his scrap of paper and her brow furrowed ever deeper with each line she read. She sucked air in between her teeth, like a plumber about to give you a quote, and shook her head sadly. By the time she reached the end there was no question about it: Jon was doomed.
Paula and I came last. By coincidence we had similar horoscopes and the results, as interpreted by Mamma, did not bode well either. Again there was much shaking of the head and little sharp inhalations as though she were being jabbed by pins as she read. Mamma began to look truly worried about us. Suddenly it wasn't really much fun anymore. The news of our bad omens seemed to spread and before long I sensed that people were keeping away from us like we had some sort of contagious illness. One woman, having learned about my horoscope, came and looked me deep in the eyes (keeping her distance from me at the same time) as though I were about to be hung. Later on that day, on the beach, some children came up to Jon and pointed at his throat making slitting actions and laughing. We really didn't need all that.
Mamma's jolliness disappeared and she became offish towards us. We would have to be blessed by priests, she indicated, otherwise our fate was sealed. That night someone stood outside our window until dawn and I could hear mutterings and the sound of pouring water. In the odd scraps of sleep I managed, I had horrific nightmares and woke up yelling and shaking with fear. An irrational part of me thought some of the village men might take it upon themselves to get rid of whatever demons they thought we had brought into the village. Given the earlier throat-slitting warning Jon had received, I spent most of the night in a cold sweat, ready to escape out of the window the moment our door opened. Paula, in the next room, said she experienced the same fear and had not managed a wink of sleep.
Early in the grey dawn I went downstairs and discovered Mamma's diminutive figure crouched over an oil candle and surrounded by burning incense. She was putting biscuits into little plastic bags and sealing them with the flame. She did not seem to be in a very good mood. I asked her about my exorcism and she sternly told me to come to the temple with her. I went upstairs and roused Jon and Paula. They too had to be exorcised.
They came downstairs and we solemnly waited for Mamma to finish her preparations. We had been wrong. She had not wanted us to go to the temple but to give alms to the monks on their daily rounds. Suddenly, along the damp earth road outside the hut, a procession of young monks being led by an orange robed elder appeared. I recognised one or two of the young novices who'd been pestering us for cigarettes. Mamma shoved pewter offering dishes into our hands, ordered me to kick off my sandals and hustled us out to the street. Jon and I had biscuits, while Paula and Mamma had sticky rice. We crouched barefoot on the road and placed the food into the monks' bowls as they filed past. Mamma said something to the elder and the procession halted.
On an order from Mamma we got down on our knees in supplication and, with the bowls on the floor and our hands pressed together as in prayer, incantations were made over us. The whole village, so it seemed, had come out to witness this spectacle. After a few long minutes the incantations ceased and the monks moved off to receive alms from more of the villagers. But it wasn't over yet. Mamma rushed into the house and came out with some bowls of holy water. She may have been up all night preparing this. The four of us squatted in front of her house and slowly poured the water over the earth while Mamma uttered prayers. After this she moved around the house splashing holy water, rice and salt around our rooms and in the dining area – places that we must have spiritually polluted.
And thus we were saved from whatever entity it was that had caused so much worry for the villagers. Paula said that she felt an immediate sense of relief. We celebrated with a cup of coffee and a condensed milk pancake.
But it was time to say goodbye to Muang Ngoi. Paula and Jon were staying on; she was going to teach at the school (when it finally reopened after the wedding festivities). To help her and the children we had donated our National Geographic world map. We said goodbye to Mamma, who was now back to her happy self again, and trooped down to the beach where a longtail boat was waiting to sweep us downstream to Nong Khiaw.

Yeah, as the catch phrase says; "first world problems". It's good to do frequent reality checks, as things could be so much worse. Oh, they will be getting worse for us lucky ones, but we are still a far far way from the living conditions that billions live in.
We even have "Karens" now.
My eyes were opened just a tad back in the early eighties when my job took us to the Caribbean for a while. Too bad GDP instead of GNH is what drives policy in the global economy.

Hi Steve, sorry, didn't see your comment there until now. Immediately made me think of an Ian Brown song I have on my car's CD player right now.

Jason, it maybe just my being in the US, but the video above isn't available.
That's weird, it works for me. I know a lot of his videos have been pulled recently due to his views on the virus that shall not be named. It's basically 'First World Problems' by Ian Brown, formerly of the Stone Roses.
That is an amazing memory. What an experience!

Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of Oxytocin Administered via an Inhaled Route in Healthy Females: Randomized, Single-blind, Phase 1 Study
Disala Fernando, Sarah Siederer, Sunita Singh, Ian Schneider, Ashutosh Gupta, Marcy Powell, Duncan B Richards, Michelle P. McIntosh, Peter Lambert, Susan Fowles
Drug Delivery Disposition & Dynamics
Background The utility of intramuscular (IM) oxytocin for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in resource-poor settings is limited by the requirement for temperature-controlled storage and skilled staff to administer the injection. We evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a heat-stable, inhaled (IH) oxytocin formulation. Methods This phase 1, randomized, single-center, single-blind, dose-escalation, fixed-sequence study (NCT02542813) was conducted in healthy, premenopausal, non-pregnant, non-lactating women aged 18–45 years. Subjects initially received IM oxytocin 10 international units (IU) on day 1, IH placebo on day 2, and IH oxytocin 50 μg on day 3. Subjects were then randomized 4:1 using validated GSK internal software to IH placebo or ascending doses of IH oxytocin (200, 400, 600 μg). PK was assessed by comparing systemic exposure (maximum observed plasma concentration, area under the concentration-time curve, and plasma concentrations at 10 and 30 min post dose) for IH versus IM oxytocin. Adverse events (AEs), spirometry, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiograms, physical examinations, and cardiac telemetry were assessed. Findings Subjects were recruited between September 14, 2015 and October 12, 2015. Of the 16 subjects randomized following initial dosing, 15 (IH placebo n = 3; IH oxytocin n = 12) completed the study. IH (all doses) and IM oxytocin PK profiles were comparable in shape. However, systemic exposure with IH oxytocin 400 μg most closely matched IM oxytocin 10 IU. Systemic exposure was approximately dose proportional for IH oxytocin. No serious AEs were reported. No clinically significant findings were observed for any safety parameters. Interpretation These data suggest that similar oxytocin systemic exposure can be achieved with IM and IH administration routes, and no safety concerns were identified with either route. The inhalation route may offer the opportunity to increase access to oxytocin for women giving birth in resource-poor settings.

Stir in a pinch to stir up his passion…
When the Tastes of France food channel offers Mei Lee "Emily" Wong a series of guest spots, she jumps at the opportunity to take her culinary career to a whole new level. Ultimately, she wants a show of her own, but first she has to prove herself to Michelin-starred network founder and effective dictator, Etienne Duvalier. A legend in the world of classic French cuisine as well as a domineering perfectionist, Etienne is sceptical about the culinary abilities of a woman from Hong Kong. To make things more difficult, the master chef is also so gorgeous that Emily can't help being attracted to him.
Emily tries to solve both problems by spiking her luscious profiteroles with an ancient Oriental aphrodisiac. Unfortunately, Harry Sanborne, the low-key, bespectacled producer for Emily's show, samples the delicacies she intends for Etienne's consumption. His powerful reaction to her secret ingredient comes as a pleasant surprise to them both. Harry turns out to be far more impressive in bed than on the set. However, he can't do nearly as much to advance her ambitions as Etienne. Emily tries once more to tempt the exacting M. Duvalier with her special cooking as well as her feminine charms. The outrageous results threaten to end her TV career forever—until Harry steps in to save her reputation and claim her heart.
General Release Date: 15th November 2013
"Ginger? Do I taste ginger?"
"Uh—yes, that's right, sir…"
"Ginger in coq au vin? That's practically sacrilege, Ms Wong."
Etienne Duvalier fixed me with a look that would have withered spinach. I straightened my spine, smoothed my apron and attempted a placating smile.
"It's good, though—isn't it? One of my signature dishes at Le Belvedere." It had come out perfectly, the succulent meat melting off the bone at the first touch of a fork. I held out another portion, my own mouth watering at the rich, complex aroma. I wasn't about to mention the hint of cloves to a traditionalist like Etienne.
He shook his head and wagged his finger at me like some cartoon schoolmaster. "A French restaurant in Hong Kong! Not exactly the place I'd recommend for the experience of classic Gallic cuisine."
"A restaurant with three Michelin stars." I wanted to go on, to cite the awards we'd won since I'd taken over as head chef, the praise heaped upon us by the local media, the favourable review in last month's Gourmet magazine. But what was the point? He'd seen my résumé. Indeed, he'd signed the letter inviting me to the U.S. for a series of guest appearances on his precious Taste of France channel. Now that I'd arrived, was he having second thoughts?
My silence must have recalled him to some sense of etiquette. He leaned toward the morsel I offered, sniffing it before taking it into his mouth and chewing thoughtfully. His full attention appeared to be focused on the flavours unfolding on his tongue. I shifted my weight from one foot to the other and swept a stray lock of hair back under my cap, awaiting his verdict.
I'd known what I was getting into. Etienne Duvalier was legendary as much for his perfectionist dedication as for his culinary prowess. He took a purist's approach to French cooking. As far as Etienne was concerned, fusion was a dirty word. He eschewed the creative syncretism practised by the latest generation of chefs, preferring to stick with the time-honoured recipes that had made French cuisine arguably the most famous in the world.

Lisabet Sarai
I became addicted to words at an early age. I began reading when I was four. I wrote my first story at five years old and my first poem at seven. Since then, I've written plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and of course, lots of erotica and erotic romance.
In addition to writing, I also edit erotica and erotic romance. My editing credits include the ground breaking anthology Sacred Exchange, which explores the spiritual aspects of BDSM relationships, the massive collection Cream: The Best of the Erotica Readers and Writers Association, the charity anthology Coming Together: In Vein, a collection of vampire tales that benefits Doctors Without Borders, and six volumes of the Coming Together: Presents series of single author charitable erotica books. You'll also find me writing the newsletter and occasional articles for the Erotica Readers and Writers Association (www.erotica-readers.com) and monthly reviews for Erotica Revealed (www.eroticarevealed.com).
My lifelong interests in sex and the written word became serenditipitously entwined more than a decade ago when I read my first Black Lace book by Portia da Costa. Her work inspired me to take my fantasies out of the closet (and the private email files) and expose them to the world. The rest, as they say, is history (although granted, no more than a minor footnote!)
I've always loved traveling; my husband seduced me in a Burmese restaurant by telling me tales of his foreign adventures. Since then I have visited every continent except Australia, although I still have a long travel wish list. Currently I live with him and our two exceptional felines in Southeast Asia, where I pursue an alternative career that is completely unrelated to my creative writing.

Volker Dusch has a new post to his blog today talking about PHPUnit and how you can make custom output formats to get the results exactly how you need them. The trick is in using XSLT for transformation.
While tackling with someones question i decided it's time to play around with xslt for learning purposes and i found something useful to do. He wanted to extend the --testdox-html output and i proposed to just transform phpunits xml output using an xslt since i didn't see a easy way to prove a custom implemenation for PHPUnit/Util/TestDox/ResultPrinter/HTML.php and i didn't want to change the file its self.
He gives an example of how to use the textdox output method to generate an XML document of the unit test run's results and a simple XSLT style sheet to format the results as a custom HTML page. He uses the "xsltproc" command line tool to make the translation happen.
Hernani Cerqueira has posted a quick introduction to using XSLT (an XML-based markup for styling XML documents) as a templating engine for PHP.
One thing that I miss is a good unobtrusive template engine for PHP. Of course there is smarty, and a bunch of pear packages as well as some other free or commercial projects, and I'm honest to say that I'd never tried none of these, simply because I still see XSLT as a perfectly valid and powerful solution This post is a small tutorial about using XSLT as a templating engine for PHP.
He takes some time to explain what XSLT is and why it's a good choice (from his opinion) for templating your site. A code example is included where he builds a simple XML document (with the DOMDocument functionality of PHP) and creates a XSLT style sheet to take that information and change it into a formatted HTML document. Outputting the result is easy with the creation of a new XSLTProcessor object and a push out the other side with a transformToXML method call.
Tobias Schlitt and Jacob Westhoff have written up and article (and posted it over on Tobias' blog) that wants to help you understand XPath better - whether you're a novice or have been using it for a while.
This paper will give an overview on XPath an addressing language for XML documents. XPath is a W3C recommendation currently in version 1.0. XPath was created in relation to the XSL recommendation and is intended to be used with XSLT and XPointer. Beside that, XPath can be used in a variety of programming languages, commonly in combination with a DOM API.
The article starts with an introduction to the concept of XPath, moves on to addressing, talks about XPath axes, mentions functions/operators/conditions and looks at styling XML with XPath and XSLT.
Raphael Stolt recently spent some time working up a tool to visualize Phing buildfiles and he's blogged about it in this new post.
Out of the box the Phing -l option can be used to get a first overview of all available targets in a given buildfile but it doesn't untangle the target dependencies and sometimes a picture is still worth a thousand words. Luckily the Ant community already provides several tools to accomplish the visualization of Ant buildfiles, reaching from solutions that apply a Xslt stylesheet upon a given buildfile.
Using the ant2dot tool along with the Graphiz graphic library, he transforms the XML from the build file into a simple graphic showing the flow of the build. An example image is included.
The IBM developerWorks has a new tutorial they've posted (free registration required) looking at making a Yahoo! SearchMonkey application by combining an RDF document, transforming it with XSLT and binding it all together with PHP.
SearchMonkey is the first product from a mainstream search engine provider that takes advantage of Semantic Web technologies to enable you to produce more relevant search results and thus drive more traffic to your Web site. With common Web development technologies such as PHP, XSLT, and XPath, provide a better experience for searchers as you use structured data encoded in Web pages using Semantic Web standards such as Microformats, eRDF, and RDFa.
They start the tutorial by introducing the SearchMonkey technology and a sample application showing how to interface with it (enhancing the search results for the blogspot.com blogs). The XSLT comes in when formatting the RDF data (DataRSS) by overlaying the data on existing websites.

A note was passed along to me about a new project that's been created to help make the generation of ODF-XSLT documents simpler - the ODF-XSLT Project from Lone Wolves.
Lone Wolves is happy to announce the ODF-XSLT project . The ODF-XSLT Document Generator is a library written in PHP 5 that brings the full power of XSLT to your OpenDocument files. It enables you to use ODF files as if they were plain XSLT templates. It also includes a few extra parsing options that allow you to edit the XSLT parts of these ODF from within your favourite office suite.
The tool was developed by Tribal Internet Marketing and is being released under a GNU Public license, version 3. You can get more information about the project from its homepage including things like downloads, the manual and their subversion repository address.
...and many more. Check out the post for more to add to the list and for some brief examples of the ones already mentioned.

There were lots of fun activities throughout the day, including a beauty salon for staff run by pupils, raising an incredible £49.00.
We are really excited to announce that we have raised a grand total of £1048.16!, and, the best bit is the UK Government will match all money raised by UK schools to help 300,000 children in Africa into school and education.
A huge thank you to everyone who donated and did 'something funny for money!'
Chief Cashier of the Bank of England Victoria Cleland with Rushey Green Primary School students
A group of pupils from Rushey Green Primary School took over the Bank of England to launch Young Enterprise's Fiver Challenge, supported by Virgin Money. The pupils, aged between eight and 11, put on their best suits and went to work, inspecting the Bank's new five pound notes and learning about banknotes from the Chief Cashier Victoria Cleland.
Supported by Virgin Money, the Fiver Challenge is a free, fun and engaging initiative that provides 5-11 year olds with a £5 pledge for one month. Pupils are challenged to set up mini businesses to create products or services they can then sell or deliver, while developing key skills such as teamwork, problem solving and creativity. Pupils can then decide what to do with any profits they make- they can choose to spend it on school or class resources, a trip, or donate it to charity.
The Challenge month will run for the month of June. Registration at www.fiverchallenge.org.uk gives access to online resources for teachers and pupils, activities, curriculum support, case studies, ideas and inspiration.
Victoria Cleland, Chief Cashier, Bank of England said: "The Fiver Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for children, from a young age, to be involved in enterprise, teamwork and also to understand the importance of money."
Michael Mercieca, Chief Executive, Young Enterprise said: "The Fiver Challenge engages with children in the crucial years when financial behaviours are so often formed. It is a fun and motivating activity that encourages primary school-age children to start thinking about the value of money, spending and enterprise. In the practice of setting up mini-companies, the children learn the skills and business know-how that will equip them better for the future."
Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Money said: "Virgin Money proudly sponsor the Fiver Challenge, a scheme which encourages entrepreneurship from a young age and gets children excited about business. Making financial decisions and taking responsibility for their enterprises teaches the children how to work well in a team and arms them with the ability to problem solve."

Each year, a huge event takes place in the Wapusk National Park in Canada when polar bears leave their caves together with their offspring for the first time.
At the same time every year, polar bears come out of hibernation and are ready to finally show themselves. One of the places this happens is in the Wapusk National Park in Canada. As the bears and their four-month-old offspring finally emerged, wildlife photographer Daisy Gilardini was there to capture this extraordinary footage.
This amazing footage did come at a price. The talented photographer had to wait for more than 117 hours in the freezing cold in Canada; or to be even more specific, this wildlife expert spent 13 days in the park and waited for 117 hours in front of the cave even though it was -50oC outside.
Chills guaranteed! Luckily, she walked away unscathed from this unforgettable experience. And as for us, we get to see the amazing results of her work in her video.
Check out the video above to see the amazing footage for yourself!


Movie sets are where the magic happens, but they aren't always as glitzy and glamorous as you might think. Check out stories of stars who've gotten a few bumps, bruises, broken bones, and more while on the job.
Halle Berry has had a few accidents while filming. She damaged her eye while filming Die Another Day, broke her arm while working on Gothika, and was hospitalized after bashing her head on lights during a late-night shoot for Catwoman. The cameras weren't rolling for her most recent injury. She hurt her ankle while chasing after her daughter and some goats while in Spain. Go figure.
Ironically enough, Brad Pitt tore his achilles tendon while playing Achilles in Troy. As a result, production of his next flick, Ocean's Twelve, had to be pushed back.
Here's a strange one: Ben Stiller was bitten by a ferret while filming Along Came Polly. "Their teeth are sharp, like razors," said Stiller. "It was a horrible experience." He had to have a rabies shot after the incident.
Angelina Jolie had an on-set scare while filming Salt in 2010. She cut her head and had to go to the hospital as a "precautionary measure." Turns out she was completely fine and was on her way relatively quickly.
Ryan Reynolds did a number on his shoulder while filming Green Lantern. Apparently he was in "lots of pain" after separating his shoulder during the shoot. Ouch!
Filming Lord of the Rings was no walk in the park for Orlando Bloom, who fell off a horse and broke a rib while filming the blockbuster. At least it was worth it?
Another LOTR star was injured while making one of the movies. Viggo Mortensen got a tooth knocked out while filming a fight scene for Two Towers. He also broke two tows after kicking a helmet for another part of the flick.
Rose McGowan does all of her own stunts and paid a high price for it while filming Red Sonja. The actress had to undergo surgery on her wrist and elbow after suffering nerve damage during the shoot. At the time, she couldn't even use her arm at all. She's all better now.
This action star is absolutely no stranger to on-set injuries. He's broken his nose three times, his ankle once, most of the fingers in his hand, both cheekbones, and, if that's not enough, his skull.
Even James Bond isn't invincible! While on the Quantum of Solace set Daniel Craig got kicked in the face and needed eight stitches. And, he severed the tip of his finger. Don't worry, he's since had all the damage corrected.


Roberto E. Meyer (1959) and Jeroen W. van Schooten (1960) founded the architects office Meyer en Van Schooten Architecten in 1984. In 1990, Roberto Meyer won the silver medal of the Prix de Rome, and the office started getting bigger and bigger orders from the early 'nineties.
The first big orders from that period - the orthodontic centre in Almere (1992), the technical premises (starting in 1992) and head offices of the energy consultants and testing and certification agency KEMA in Arnhem (1996) and the housing development in the Mercator district of West Amsterdam (1993-1995) – reflect the independent approach the office was taking in the world of architecture. Meyer and van Schooten's design for the Kwadrant dwellings in the Jason Park district of Rotterdam won the Woningbouwkwaliteitsprijs (Quality Prize for Housing Construction) 1999, while their design for six housing complexes and a dwelling cluster for senior citizens on the GWL terrain in Amsterdam won them the Merkelbach Prize 2000. The office's order portfolio grew appreciably during the 'nineties, and became more varied, including social housing, houses for sale, villas, urban development plans, schools, offices and even bridges. In December 1997, the office won the order for designing the new head offices of the ING Group in Amsterdam, and the construction of the building was completed in 2002. This project yielded the office a multiplicity of prizes, including the National Steel Prize 2002, The Netherlands Glass Award 2002, The Netherlands Building Prize 2003, The Netherlands Aluminium Award for Architecture 2003 and the European Award for Steel Structures 2003.

Kaytranada shares smooth new single "Lucky Day"
Joshua Princeton July 14, 2020 0
Canadian beatmaker Kaytranada has shared a new single "Lucky Day" featuring New Orleans rapper Lucky Daye, his first new music since his sophomore album 'BUBBA'.
The track was teased in an Instagram live video last week and it doesn't disappoint with a classic four-to-the-floor kick and muddy synth lines. There must have also been some serious bro-ship with the track name a striking similarity to the rappers name.
It'll definitely tie over fans waiting on those two heaters with Anderson .Paak that we've only seen teasers for!
Did you know Kaytranada helped produce Azelai Banks "Along The Coast" and Mob Deeps' "My Block"?

[WHO] welcomes data on COVID-19 in China, meeting with Minister
January 17, 2023 by Grace
Earlier today, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke with Minister Ma Xiaowei, director of China's National Health Commission,
About the COVID-19 situation in the country. WHO appreciates this meeting, as well as the public release of information on the overall situation.
Chinese officials provided information to WHO and in a press conference on a range of topics, including outpatient clinics, hospitalizations, patients requiring emergency treatment and critical care, and hospital deaths related to COVID-19 infection.
WHO is analysing this information, which covers early December 2022 to 12 January 2023, and allows for a better understanding of the epidemiological situation and the impact of this wave in China. WHO requested that this type of detailed information continue to be shared with us and the public. WHO notes the efforts by Chinese authorities to scale up clinical care for its population at all levels, including in critical care.
The overall epidemiology – reflecting a rapid and intense wave of disease caused by known sub-variants of Omicron with higher clinical impact on older people and those with underlying conditions – is similar to waves of infection experienced by other countries, as is the increased pressure on health services. The reported data indicate a decline in case numbers, hospitalizations, and those requiring critical care. WHO has requested a more detailed breakdown of data by province over time.
While the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention has earlier reported that Omicron sublineages BA.5.2 and BF.7 are currently circulating, WHO continues to ask that further sequences be shared with open access databases such as GISAID for deeper phylogenetic analyses, and for continued collaboration with technical groups working on virus evolution, clinical care, and beyond.
WHO will continue to work with China, providing technical advice and support, and engaging on analysing the situation. On the call today, Dr Tedros also reiterated the importance of China's deeper cooperation and transparency on understanding the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in carrying out the recommendations detailed in the report of the Strategic Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens.
