Israel admits Covid mutation rendered travel bans useless
Amid a spike in Omicron infections, Tel Aviv is retiring its 'red list' of destinations
Israel has lifted its strict Covid-19 travel ban against 'high risk' countries, such as the US and UK, acknowledging that the spread of the Omicron variant has rendered such restrictions obsolete.
Nachman Ash, the director-general of Israel's Ministry of Health, revealed on Thursday that travel would resume to and from 'red-list' countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland – which are considered by Israel to be some of the "highest risk" nations in the world.
Israeli citizens and residents were previously prohibited from leaving Israel for red-list countries, while non-citizens from red-list countries were prohibited from entering the country.
The change in restrictions will apply to Israeli citizens, residents, and tourists alike, however all travelers will have to provide evidence of vaccination or recovery from the virus. The red-list countries – namely the US, the UK, Switzerland, Ethiopia, Mexico, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Tanzania – will join the orange list, which requires travelers to undergo 24 hours of quarantine upon arrival in Israel, and the state will still advise people against traveling to those places with "high local infection rates."
Ash – who received his fourth Covid-19 vaccine dose this week – suggested on Thursday that the Omicron variant would soon "take over" as the dominant strain, with Covid-19 cases reaching 50,000 cases a day, making present red-list restrictions redundant.
Some 66% of Israelis have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, while 47% have received an additional booster dose, according to the NYT tracker. Israel also recently announced a fourth vaccine dose for those over 60. Despite intense vaccination efforts, coronavirus cases in Israel have been on the rise, and the country recorded its highest daily rise in infections on Wednesday since the beginning of the pandemic.

ISSI News
In-House Meeting with Lt. Gen. Waheed Arshad on "Challenges for Pakistan's National Security" (Press Release)
Mr. Malik Qasim Mustafa
The Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad (ISSI) hosted an In-House Meeting today on "Challenges for Pakistan's National Security". Lt. Gen. Waheed Arshad, former Chief of General Staff, was the guest speaker at the meeting.
Other guests at the meeting included: Ambassador Ali Sarwar Naqvi, Executive Director, Centre for International Strategic Studies; Ambassador Arif Ayub, President, Institute of Regional Studies; Ambassador Sohail Amin, President, Islamabad Policy Research Institute; and Khurram Abbas, Assistant Research Officer, Islamabad Policy Research Institute
Gen. Arshad said that in order to enhance security, Pakistan has to deal effectively with its relationship with India. In order to resolve issues of conflict, it is imperative to evolve a common framework. Divergent frameworks and offensive doctrines such as the Cold Start, would keep the region in a state of turmoil and tension. Turning to Afghanistan, he said that Pakistan should address the issues of terrorism and militancy, and eliminate safe havens and support to TTP. In addition, the State must establish its full writ in FATA. Internally, Pakistan must deal with issues of extremism and radicalization, and improve governance by promoting transparency and accountability, fostering participatory politics, redressing institutional defects, ensuring law enforcement, and creating new professional competencies. At the same time, reform of the criminal justice system must continue, and the State must continue to invest in economic and human development. In this context, priority must continue to be accorded to water and energy security.
Director General ISSI, Ambassador Masood Khan, said that the issues in governance can be addressed by consolidating democracy, building institutions, evolving checks and balances, and ensuring a public and private sector regulatory framework to serve the best interests of the people of Pakistan. He said that all provinces in Pakistan, without exception, are nationalistic. There is need to develop an amalgam of religion and nationalism to root out violent extremism.

Luminism is an American landscape painting style of the 1850s – 1870s, characterized by effects of light in landscapes, through using aerial perspective, and concealing visible brushstrokes. Luminist landscapes emphasize tranquillity, and often depict calm, reflective water and a soft, hazy sky.
Robert Salmon (1775-c. 1845) was a maritime artist, active in both England and America. Salmon completed nearly 1,000 paintings, all save one of maritime scenes or seascapes. He is widely considered the Father of American Luminism.
Fitz Henry Lane (born Nathaniel Rogers Lane, also known as Fitz Hugh Lane) (December 19, 1804 – August 14, 1865) was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luminism, for its use of pervasive light.
George Caleb Bingham (March 20, 1811 – July 7, 1879) was an American artist whose paintings of American life in the frontier lands along the Missouri River exemplify the Luminist style. Left to languish in obscurity, Bingham's work was rediscovered in the 1930s. By the time of his bicentennial in 2011, he was considered one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. That year the George Caleb Bingham Catalogue Raisonné Supplement Of Paintings & Drawings announced the authentication of ten recently discovered paintings by Bingham; like all but about 5% of his works, they are unsigned.
Frederic Edwin Church (May 4, 1826 – April 7, 1900) was an American landscape painter born in Hartford, Connecticut. He was a central figure in the Hudson River School of American landscape painters. While committed to the natural sciences, he was "always concerned with including a spiritual dimension in his works."
Edmund Darch Lewis (October 17, 1835 - August 12, 1910) was an American landscape painter known for his prolific style and marine oils and watercolors. Lewis was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a well-to-do family. He started training at age 15 with German-born Paul Weber (1823–1916) of the Hudson River School. At age 19 he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and was elected an Associate of the Academy at age 24.

This last week I was sat in a meeting with several maternity service users and a splattering of health professionals and managers of varying sorts. We were talking about the enormous deficit that is in our health budget and therefore some of the difficult options that are ahead of us. The government likes to call these options "efficiency savings", everybody else knows that we are talking about cuts to services.
I always start my presentations by talking about the difficulty we find ourselves in, how we got here (a massive national debt, which all nations are in because our entire economic system is built on debt and none of it is real and they just keep on printing more money to solve it, made far worse by people who get massive bonuses and a >£2billion reorganisation of the NHS that no one wanted or asked for, which had we not had, we would now not be needing to make so many cuts!) and what our options now are.
I then offer a revolution, and other than a few smiles and the odd chortle, no one seems to think this a realistic or viable option….But, if we didn't reinvest in Trident, or if we did charge greedy corporations appropriate levels of tax, then we wouldn't need to cut services in the NHS.
Anyhow, I then talk about the fact that no decisions have been made and that we are genuinely in a process of listening (something the government really didn't do before inflicting this reorganisation on us) and wanting to come to a place of collaborative agreement. But I am fast learning two things. The first is that nobody wants the thing they really care about to be cut or refashioned in any manner. They understand that safeguarding their piece of the pie means that others will miss out, but they don't actually want to make any sacrifices – I understand that. I also understand more clearly that isolated health budgeting doesn't work……more on this anon….
The second and starkest realisation I've had though is just how dreadful the new legislation voted in by parliament really is.
They will tell us our sums do not add up, they will tell us that savings/cuts must be made, they will get rid of those of us who are trying to reach a point of agreement with our service users and they will bring in their own board aka Monitor. Monitor do not have to consult with anybody, they will simply cut/burn/slash whatever is deemed necessary and their decision cannot be challenged or overturned!
This is nothing other than bullying. It is what Georgio Agamben talks about when he refers to 'The State of the Exception' and with this grim stick of threat held up behind us, it makes our work of trying to reach a collaborative agreement on the redesign of services completely impossible. What are we to do? The challenge is here: how do we subvert the system, making it absolutely clear that we do not play this game, and yet submit back into the system so as to allow love to win the day.
The Powers have shown their strong arm. But they have forgotten that there is a power far more ancient and far more beautiful…….life laid down love……love always wins and it will win in the end in the face of all oppression.

We're Skint. We need to make some cuts. Apart from scrapping Trident and 'collaborative working' – do we have any other suggestions?
HA! Dave, if I didn't know you better I might accuse you of being a Tory boy!! How the tables have turned!
You're right though, there are some difficult choices to be made, and the answers are not easy ones. I think the thing I react to more is that there is a whole lot of speak about localism, but trying to do isolated local health budgeting without an eye on the whole local economy is actually quite disempowering….and the rhetoric about economies of scale is not actually very well founded and so shutting units or pushing services into the community does not necessarily make better financial sense.
Also, I object to doing lip service to facilitating conversations about how money can be better spent. In our area, if we make certain choices, the educated and well off will cope fine, but it is those who are already disempowered and marginalised who will struggle. For me, it is vital that they are at the table for the conversations. Generational disempowerment and marginalisation has left them out of the loop. I'm not saying cuts aren't needed, but I am saying that the bullying from the DoH over both timescales and the nature of the cuts needed is not helping us find a way forward.
I also wonder if we are skint?
When the US was skint, they just did some more "quantative easing" aka printing more money. Apparently we are servicing interest on our debt to a tune of £125 million every day….what does that really mean?!
If we are skint, then it only proves that the way we do economics really isn't working and therefore an entirely new approach is needed.
Don't worry Andrew – My thoughts on conservative ideals and Mrs Thatcher remain pretty much unchanged!
Whenever there is change – it is those at the bottom that suffer the most. I'm not sure having the disempowered and marginalised at the table would be helpful – but it is vital that we have people who understand their issues and are willing to fight their corner are there.
Making decisions and implementing change is one of the hardest things to do in medical politics. Doctors are keen to point out problems but rarely have solutions and are often too timid to make a decision (we are naturally risk averse). However, one of the biggest issue is that the status quo isn't working. It's too expensive. It's in-efficient.
Our options are simple. Make a change (risky) or stay as we are (riskier). My biggest concern is that we'll spend so much time discussing the problems, attending endless collaborative focus groups and pointing out the uncertainties – that the current setup will collapse and we'll end up with either a two tier system – or no NHS at all. And that really is the worse outcome for those at the bottom.


Last Friday, we took to kids down to Disneyland where we met up with the Landheim Family, and Mom and Dad. Andrew was in absolute heaven. It took a few rides for him to grasp the concept of waiting in line, but he got it after a while. At the end of every ride he immediately said "again, again!" His favorite was Buzz Lightyear. Not only did he get to shoot, but he loved making our car spin. He also had a lot of fun in the Brother Bear playground. Max said he went down the slide about 30 times. Of course Grandpa kept the kids supplied with candy and soda-which is pretty much all Andrew ate. He insisted on walking all day, and only rode in the stroller a couple of times when we forced him to. Ryan was great, and the Disneyland "Family Centers" made life with an infant a lot easier. Overall, we had a fabulous day, and are already planning another trip while both kids are still free.
Well, we finally heard from Keith's sister- a cell tower was out in her area (as is the power) so she wasn't able to call or receive calls until yesterday afternoon. She and her son are fine, and their house only has a little roof damage, some leaking, and some fence damage.
Keith's brother Jay lives in Groves, which is near Beaumont and Port Arthur. They evacuated, but still aren't being allowed back into their community due to flood waters. One of their relatives stayed in Groves to ride out the storm, and she was able to go look at their house, but just from the outside. Their front porch and car port are completely gone, and they have a hole in their roof, but until they can get inside, they're not sure yet about how bad the damage is inside.
Keith's parents were still without power when we spoke with them last night. Someone in their ward had a generator, and families were taking 6 hour shifts so they could plug in their refrigerators, freezers, A/C, etc. A member of their ward is on a breathing machine, and although he evacuated to Austin to stay with relatives, he came back before the power was back on in their subdivision, and now the generator has to stay with him.
FEMA came to their area, but had no food or water for the residents....or for themselves! They were asking people in the area to feed them, and I believe house them also, so the residents just told them to leave, that they would take care of themselves.
Again, we are grateful though that no one in Keith's family was injured, and that most of their property was okay.
All of Keith's immediate family lives in Houston, and we were concerned about how they would be affected by the storm.
Keith parents live in Richmond, which is southwest of Houston, and about an hour inland. They fared pretty well, they had quite a bit of rain, and some wind, but not roofs ripping off or windows blown in. They are currently without power, but they anticipate it will be back on in the next day or so.
Sean is Keith's oldest brother, and he live in a mobile home in a town called Needville. He went to Keith's parents house for the worst part of the hurricane, but was able to return home today to a perfectly fine house, with power and everything. We're really glad his home was okay.
Amy, Keith's sister, lives in east Houston, just off the I-10. She, surprisingly, was not in a evacuation area. The eye of the hurricane went right over her house, and it's on the edges of the eye, or the "eye wall" that the winds are the worst. Neither Keith nor his parents have heard from her yet, and we hope that she and her son are doing alright. Hopefully, a cell tower is down and that's why she hasn't been able to call anyone yet.
Jay is Keith's older brother, and his family lives in Beaumont, which is 100 miles east of Houston. They were hit really hard by Hurricane Rita in 05-their roof fell in on their kitchen and the house flooded in some areas. This time around, they evacuated to Longview, which is about 100 miles east of Dallas. They are fine there, but won't be able to see if their home is alright for a day or two.
So overall, everything is good, and we are so grateful that Keith's family has been kept safe.
If he wins, we can get some cash. We will even tell you we are considering sharing some of the cash with you if it will make you vote.


The United States is one of the best countries in the world if you want to experience a road trip. Moreso, there is something about the freedom of getting in your car and heading out that makes it so American. During the late 1910s, future president Dwight D. Eisenhower was part of an envoy that took part in a cross-country road trip to gain an understanding on the state of the roads connecting the country. This experience impacted Ike's life and would be foundational to the future investments toward roads and the American Interstate Highway System. Today, Americans enjoy the liberty of moving freely, and one of the places that is a must on the auto touring list is California.
Before venturing out, make sure to prepare for the trip. You may come across areas where you want to stop for a while, take pictures, and relax, as you enjoy the scenery. Therefore, make sure to pack drinks, some snacks, and a blanket for a possible picnic. Also, keep that smartphone charged or drive to one of the many AT&T stores in California to pick up charging accessories. This will ensure that you have the needed battery power to fuel the fantastic pictures and video that the PCH will provide.
California has it all. Visitors can enjoy the scenes of a desert drive or the stunning mountain views of the Sierra Nevadas. Start by driving along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Also known as Highway 1, this freeway stretches from San Francisco to Los Angeles and must be experienced. The scenery is simply breathtaking. The route is famous features frequently in movies, television shows, and commercials. However, much of its beauty is based on the contrasting and changing landscapes of tiny towns, large metropolitan areas, classic beaches, Colonial Spanish sites, state parks, and the unforgettable Redwood Forest.
The roads in Yosemite National Park are stunning and provide some of the most magnificent views in the country. Among these is the famous Tioga Road, which is a 39-mile stretch from Crane Flat to the Tioga Pass. The road typically closes during the winter months, so make sure to plan ahead. However, it will generally be open May through November. The most popular route is the Yosemite Valley Loop, which offers amazing landscapes but is generally more crowded than the others. Wowona Road has access to some of the park's best hiking trails, so it is a great path to take to stretch your legs and walk. During the spring, travelers driving through El Portal Road can enjoy the sights of wildflowers in bloom. If you have some more time, it is highly advisable to park and go rafting. If history is your thing, then you won't want to miss Highway 49. This road covers 100 miles along the route of the Gold Rush and passes historic mining towns along the way.
While driving along the coast, some of the towns are must-see places. San Luis Obispo, for example, is a historic town with many activities, including horseback riding, hiking, zip lining, and surfing. The town is sure to slow you down and force you to enjoy the weather as you ramble through the downtown area. Afterward, hop on the car and head to Morro Bay. This small town has a waterfront boardwalk to the Morro Rock that is over 500 feet. This iconic landmark presents a great picture opportunity, especially at sunset. You can also enjoy the wildlife as the area is a popular spot for sea otters and other animals. Once ready, head to Cayucos, where surfing and ranching are a way of life. This is a great spot to stop and purchase some beach-themed art and try some of the world-famous smoked salmon. As you do so, you will notice that time will never be enough. Simply put, auto touring in California is a guaranteed adventure.

PATIENTS COMP. FUND v. Continental Cas. Co.
122 Wis. 2d 144 (1985)
361 N.W.2d 666
WISCONSIN PATIENTS COMPENSATION FUND, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY and CNA Insurance Company, Defendants-Respondents.
Nos. 84-087, 84-088.
Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
Argued January 2, 1985.
Decided January 31, 1985.
*145 For the plaintiff-appellant there were briefs by Peter S. Nelson, Cynthia A. Thompson and Menn, Nelson, Sharratt, Teetaert & Beisenstein, Ltd., Appleton, and oral argument by Peter S. Nelson.
For the defendants-respondents in 84-087 there was a brief by Robert R. Studt, Allen A. Arntsen and Jenswold, Studt, Hanson, Clark & Kaufmann, Madison, and oral argument by Mr. Arntsen.
For the defendants-respondents in 84-088 there were briefs by Stanley Gabert and Gabert & Williams, Appleton, and oral argument by Stanley Gabert.
Amicus curiae briefs were filed by Robert W. Larsen, assistant attorney general, with whom on the briefs was Bronson C. La Follette, attorney general, on behalf of the Director of Patients Compensation Panels.
LOUIS J. CECI, J.
There are two actions before this court, which have been consolidated for appeal purposes, cases numbered 84-087 and 84-088. These appeals are before us on certification from the court of appeals, pursuant to sec. (Rule) 809.61, Stats.,[1] and are both *146 from summary judgments of the circuit court for Winnebago county, William E. Crane, circuit judge. We affirm the summary judgments of the circuit court.
These actions both arise out of alleged medical malpractice during Lori Gordon's pregnancy in 1979. On June 3, 1981, Lori and Timothy Gordon filed a submission of controversy with the patients compensation panel (panel)[2] against several physicians, including Dr. Pansch and Dr. Darr, for alleged negligence in managing Lori's pregnancy and causing the death of the Gordons' allegedly viable fetus. Dr. Pansch and Dr. Darr were each insured under separate policies by the respondent, Continental Casualty Company (Continental), for up to $200,000 per claim.[3] Continental was not joined in the submission of controversy; however, the appellant, Wisconsin Patients Compensation Fund (Fund), was joined as the excess insurer for the physicians.[4] The Gordons *147 also filed an action in the circuit court for Winnebago county against Continental as primary insurer of Dr. Pansch and Dr. Darr for their claims of damage.
A settlement was reached with the Gordons for all of their claims before the submission of controversy was actually heard by the panel. The entire case was settled for the sum of $1,000,000, of which $975,000 was allocated to the individual claims of Lori and Timothy Gordon and $25,000 was allocated to the claim of the fetus. Continental, while denying liability, contributed the $200,000 limit pursuant to its policy covering Dr. Pansch toward the $975,000 settlement figure. Continental denied any causal negligence of Dr. Pansch with respect to the claim of the fetus and refused payment for that claim. Continental also refused any settlement on behalf of Dr. Darr. The $800,000 balance of the settlement amount was paid by the Fund.
The Fund subsequently obtained a settlement stipulation in the panel proceeding signed by the attorneys for the Gordons, Dr. Pansch, and the Fund, stating that the Gordons' cause of action against Dr. Pansch and the Fund was dismissed on its merits with prejudice. The stipulation reserved any claim for contribution, subrogation, or indemnification that Dr. Pansch or the Fund may have against Dr. Darr. The Fund also obtained a release from the Gordons and an assignment of their claims.
The panel chairman issued his findings and order on December 30, 1982. The chairman reasoned that if the matter had proceeded before the panel, there may have been an assignment of negligence to the physicians. However, the matter was settled, and contribution should have been decided at the time of settlement. The chairman *148 dismissed the panel proceedings, holding that the panel lacked jurisdiction to decide issues of contribution once settlement has been reached. The findings and order of the panel were never appealed.
Continental moved to dismiss the Gordons' circuit court action against Continental on February 21, 1983. The Fund then moved to amend the complaint to substitute itself in the place of the Gordons on the basis of the earlier executed assignment. The circuit court orally denied the Fund's motion to amend the complaint and granted Continental's motion to dismiss on May 16, 1983. The circuit court's written order was entered on May 25, 1983. This order was never appealed.
The two actions involved in this appeal were both filed by the Fund against Continental as a primary insurer on May 16, 1983, in the circuit court for Winnebago county. Case number 84-087 was brought against Continental as the primary liability insurer of Dr. Darr. That action alleges that the Fund paid $775,000 in settlement for the individual claims of Lori and Timothy Gordon. Therein, the Fund seeks contribution from Continental up to the policy limits of $200,000 if the negligence of Dr. Darr is found to have been a cause of the injury to the Gordons. Case number 84-088 was brought against Continental as the primary liability insurer of Dr. Pansch. That action alleges that the Fund paid the Gordons $25,000 in settlement for the claim of the alleged viable fetus and in return that the Gordons assigned the fetus's claim to the Fund. In that case, the Fund seeks recovery of the $25,000 as an assignee of the fetus's claim if the negligence of Dr. Pansch is found to have caused the death of the Gordons' fetus.
Continental moved to dismiss both actions, and the motion was granted in an oral decision on November 21, 1983, by William E. Crane, circuit judge for Winnebago county. The trial court ruled that these cases were medical malpractice cases and that the court lacked jurisdiction *149 because they had not been properly resolved by the panel prior to commencement of the actions. Second, the trial court ruled that if the panel order dismissing the submission of controversy was erroneous, the Fund should have appealed the order within the statutorily prescribed 120-day time period.[5] Judgments were subsequently entered dismissing the complaints in both actions.
The issues presented for review are:
(1) Whether the circuit court has jurisdiction over an action initiated by the patients compensation fund, as an excess insurer, against the primary liability insurer of a health care provider for contribution as a result of a settlement with an injured patient when the contribution claim has not been previously submitted to a panel under ch. 655, Stats.; and,
(2) Whether the circuit court has jurisdiction over an action initiated by the patients compensation fund, as an assignee of a medical malpractice claim, against the primary liability insurer of a health care provider for payment of its proper share of the damages when the claim between the Fund and the insurer has not been previously submitted to a panel under ch. 655, Stats.
Generally, no court action for injuries arising from a medical malpractice claim may be brought until the matter has been reviewed by a ch. 655 patients compensation panel. Sec. 655.04(1) (b), Stats. Therefore, the precise issue here is whether the actions involved in this appeal are claims "on account of malpractice" as defined *150 in ch. 655, sec. 655.007.[6] This issue presents a question of statutory interpretation, which is a question of law. As to questions of law, we need not give special deference to the determination of the circuit court. Patients Fund v. St. Paul Ins. Co., 116 Wis. 2d 537, 539, 342 N.W.2d 693 (1984).
The dispute in this case arises from an apparent inconsistency in ch. 655, Stats. The Fund argues that the panel does not have the power to resolve issues of contribution or the extent of an insurer's liability because ch. 655, deals only with claims between patients[7] or the patients' representatives[8] and health care providers.[9] For example, sec. 655.005(1) (a), provides, *151 "On and after July 24, 1975, every patient, every patient's representative and every health care provider shall be conclusively presumed to have accepted to be bound by this chapter." (Emphasis added.)
Similarly, sec. 655.007, requires,
"On and after July 24, 1975, any patient or the patient's representative, having a claim for injury or death on account of malpractice is subject to this chapter." (Emphasis added.)
Finally, sec. 655.04 (1) (a), states in part,
"(1) FILING. (a) On and after July 24, 1975, any patient or the patient's representative, having a claim under this chapter for bodily injury or death, on account of a tort or breach of contract based on professional services rendered or which should have been rendered by a health care provider, may, after payment of the fee under sec. 655.14, file a submission of controversy with the director in accordance with this chapter." (Emphasis added.)
The Fund reasons that its claims against Continental are not covered by ch. 655 because the Fund is precluded from filing a submission of controversy under sec. 655.04 (1) (a).
In contrast, Continental directs our attention to the statutorily defined powers of the panel under sec. 655.065 (1), Stats., which requires in part,
"(1) FINDINGS. Each panel, whether formal or informal, shall determine the following:
"(a) Whether the actions or omissions of the health care provider were negligent.
"(b) If such actions or omissions were negligent, whether the negligence caused injury or death to the patient.
*152 "(2) COMPENSATORY AWARDS. (a) If the panel determines that a claimant has suffered damage from the death or bodily injury of another, the panel shall award compensation and benefits." (Emphasis added.)
See also, State ex rel. Strykowski v. Wilkie, 81 Wis. 2d 491, 500, 261 N.W.2d 434 (1978).
Continental asserts that the language of sec. 655.065, Stats., is mandatory and in cases where the negligence of a health care provider is in question, the panel must make a finding before any action can be taken in circuit court. Continental states that in case number 84-087, the Fund, as an excess insurer of Dr. Pansch, seeks contribution from the primary insurer of Dr. Darr. The Fund's recovery for contribution is solely dependent upon a finding of causal negligence on the part of Dr. Darr, who is not a party to this action.[10] Continental relies on the derivative nature of the Fund's claim, citing Loy v. Bunderson, 107 Wis. 2d 400, 320 N.W.2d 175 (1982), where we held,
"An insurer is directly liable to the plaintiff if the underlying conditions of negligence are satisfied although, after commencement of the action, the insured is released or protected by an absolute covenant not to sue. The responsibility of an insurance company to an injured party is derivative of the insured's conduct, but it is not derivative of the status of the insured's personal liability to a plaintiff at the time the insurer's contractual obligations are triggered by a judgment for damages." Id., 107 Wis. 2d at 426. (Emphasis added.)
Continental maintains that this action is not really a dispute between two jointly liable insurers (the Fund *153 and Continental) as the Fund suggests, but, rather, a dispute between two jointly liable, albeit insured, doctors (Drs. Pansch and Darr) concerning their relative responsibility for injuries arising from their alleged medical malpractice. As such, Continental argues that case number 84-087 is subject to ch. 655.
Similarly, in case number 84-088, the Fund, as an assignee, seeks to recover payment from a policy issued by the primary liability insurer of Dr. Pansch. The Fund's recovery in this case is solely dependent upon a finding of causal negligence on the part of Dr. Pansch, who also is not a named party in this case. Continental believes that the Fund is standing in the shoes of the Gordons and, as such, case number 84-088 is actually a medical malpractice action to determine if the negligence of Dr. Pansch was a cause of the death of the Gordons' fetus. Therefore, case number 84-088 is also subject to ch. 655, Stats.
In comparing the position taken by the Fund with that taken by Continental, we see that there is an ambiguity in ch. 655. On one side, it is argued that the Fund is not governed by ch. 655 because it does not qualify as a "patient," "patient's representative," or "health care provider." However, both of the claims against Continental are dependent upon a finding of causal negligence of either Dr. Darr or Dr. Pansch, and sec. 655.065, Stats., mandates that the panel make such a finding.
To resolve this conflict, we turn to the rules of statutory construction, where we have said,
"The rules of statutory construction are well established. `First and foremost among them is the rule that the purpose of engaging in statutory interpretation is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the legislature.' . . . `In determining legislative intent, first resort is to the language of the statute itself. If the meaning of the statute is clear on its face, this court *154 will not look outside the statute in applying it.' . . . `When the language of a statute is ambiguous or unclear, this court will examine the scope, history, context, subject matter and object of the statute in order to discern the intent of the legislature. . . . One further principle which must direct the court in construing a statute is that the court must interpret it in such a way as to avoid an absurd or unreasonable result.'" Sacotte v. Ideal-Werk Krug & Priester Machinen-Fabrik, 121 Wis. 2d 401, 406, 359 N.W.2d 393 (1984).
The legislative intent underlying ch. 655's enactment has been set forth in 1975 Wis. Laws, ch. 37, sec. 1.[11]*155 One apparent goal behind this chapter is the speedy resolution of disputes. We recognized in Strykowski, 81 Wis. 2d at 508, that,
". . . . resolution of a malpractice claim under the traditional tort litigation process has been found to require an average of nineteen months. A patients compensation panel, on the other hand, must render a decision within 150 days after the submission of controversy is filed. Sec. 655.04 (4) (a), Stats." (Footnote omitted.)
Furthermore, we just recently concluded,
"It appears clear to us that when the legislature enacted ch. 655, it contemplated a procedure which would protect health care providers and patients from the hazards of the traditional lengthy tort litigation." Northwest General Hospital v. Yee, 115 Wis. 2d 59, 64, 339 N.W.2d 583 (1983).
An integral function of the panel is to screen medical malpractice controversies so as to expedite settlement, "weed out" frivolous actions, and secure early disposition of claims. Strykowski, 81 Wis. 2d at 523. To aid in this screening process, the statutes generally require that health care providers sit on the panels. Compare, sec. *156 655.03 (1), Stats., with sec. 655.03 (2). The expertise of these medically trained panel members provides an advantage to the panels that the courts do not necessarily have. Due to the unique composition of the panels, the panels are generally in a better position to effectively and efficiently determine the types of questions that commonly arise in medical malpractice actions.
After reviewing the purpose and function of the panel system, we come to the conclusion that the legislature intended that ch. 655 cover actions arising from medical malpractice claims brought by the Fund as an excess insurer for either contribution or for payment of an insurer's proper share of damages. The underlying factual issues in these cases concern medical malpractice and, therefore, should be heard by the panel. The effect of holding otherwise is to allow the circuit court in this case to conduct an entire medical malpractice trial (except for the issue of damages) to determine the issue of liability of Drs. Darr and Pansch. Such action would undermine the protections afforded by ch. 655 and the purpose of the panel system, as discussed above.
Both of the actions involved in this appeal are predicated upon medical malpractice, and no action can be taken by the circuit court until ch. 655 has been fully complied with. As explained above, recovery in case number 84-087 is dependent upon a finding of causal negligence on the part of Dr. Darr, and recovery in case number 84-088 is dependent upon a finding of causal negligence on the part of Dr. Pansch.
The Fund argues that if this court holds that the panel should have heard these cases prior to commencement of an action with the circuit court, then we should remand the actions back to the panel for its determination. The Fund's reliance upon Mortenson v. Miller, 99 Wis. 2d 209, 298 N.W.2d 546 (1980), and Maluka v. Tucker, 117 Wis. 8d 1, 343 N.W.2d 407 (Ct. App. 1983), is misplaced because in those cases, the controversy had been *157 submitted to the panel within the time period limited by law, and jurisdiction was obtained by the circuit court. The contrary is true, however, in the cases at hand, and, therefore, we have no jurisdiction to remand the cases to the panel.
In conclusion, we hold that the circuit court lacks jurisdiction over case numbers 84-087 and 84-088 because ch. 655 has not been complied with. Proper action by the Fund in this case would have been to appeal the panel's findings and order dated December 30, 1982, which dismissed the remaining contribution issues concerning Dr. Darr. The panel incorrectly held that it lacked jurisdiction to decide issues of contribution. Section 655.065 (1) and (2), Stats., mandates that the panel shall make a finding of negligence, causation and damages and that in awarding damages,
"Each health care provider shall have a right of comparative contribution or indemnity in accordance with the laws of this state." Sec. 655.065 (2) (b).
We, therefore, affirm the trial court's summary judgments in case numbers 84-087 and 84-088.
By the Court.The summary judgments of the circuit court are affirmed.
[1] Section 809.61, Stats., reads as follows:
"809.61 Rule (Bypass by certification of court of appeals or upon motion of supreme court). The supreme court may take jurisdiction of an appeal or other proceeding in the court of appeals upon certification by the court of appeals or upon the supreme court's own motion. The supreme court may refuse to take jurisdiction of an appeal or other proceeding certified to it by the court of appeals."
[2] See sec. 655.04, Stats. 1981-82, concerning the requirements on filing a submission of controversy. (All references to ch. 655, Stats., in this opinion are to the 1981-82 statutes.)
[3] Liability for medical malpractice is limited under sec. 655.23 (5), Stats., as follows:
"655.23 Limitations of liability; proof of financial responsibility. . . .
"(5) While such health care liability insurance, self-insurance or cash or surety bond approved by the commissioner remains in force, the health care provider, the provider's estate and those conducting the provider's business, including the provider's health care liability insurance carrier, are liable for malpractice for no more than $200,000 per claim and $600,000 per year or the maximum liability limit for which the provider is insured, whichever is higher, if the health care provider has met the requirements of this chapter."
[4] Section 655.27 (1), Stats., provides in pertinent part,
"655.27 Patients compensation fund. (1) FUND. There is created a patients compensation fund for the purpose of paying that portion of a medical malpractice claim which is in excess of the limit expressed in s. 655.23(5) and paying future medical expense periodic payments under s. 655.015."
[5] Section 655.19, Stats., requires in part,
"655.19 Court trial. Unless the parties have stipulated in writing under s. 655.07 to be bound by the panel determination, any party to a panel hearing may, within 120 days after the date of an order made by a panel, commence an action for a trial in the circuit court for the county designated in the submission of controversy under s. 655.04."
[6] Section 655.007, Stats., provides,
"655.007 Patients' claims. On and after July 24, 1975, any patient or the patient's representative, having a claim for injury or death on account of malpractice is subject to this chapter."
[7] "Patient" is defined in sec. 655.001 (10), Stats., as "an individual who received or should have received health care services from a health care provider."
[8] "Representative" is defined in sec. 655.001 (12), Stats., as "the personal representative, spouse, parent, guardian, attorney or other legal agent of a patient."
[9] "Health care provider" is defined in sec. 655.001 (8), Stats., as "a medical or osteopathic physician or podiatrist licensed under ch. 448; a nurse anesthetist licensed or registered under ch. 441; a partnership comprised of such physicians, podiatrists or nurse anesthetists; a corporation owned by such physicians, podiatrists or nurse anesthetists and operated for the purposes of providing medical services; an operational cooperative sickness care plan organized under ss. 185.981 to 185.985 which directly provides services through salaried employes in its own facility; a hospital as defined by s. 50.33(1) (a) and (c); or a nursing home as defined by s. 50.01(3) whose operations are combined as a single entity with a hospital subject to this section, whether or not the nursing home operations are physically separate from hospital operations. It excludes any state, county or municipal employe or federal employe covered under the federal tort claims act, as amended, who is acting within the scope of employment, and any facility exempted by s. 50.39(3) or operated by any governmental agency, but any state, county or municipal employe or facility so excluded who would otherwise be included in this definition may petition in writing to be afforded the coverage provided by this chapter and upon filing the petition with the commissioner and paying the fee required under s. 655.27(3) will be subject to this chapter."
[10] See generally, Giese v. Montgomery Ward, Inc., 111 Wis. 2d 392, 404, 331 N.W.2d 585 (1983), where we held that in order to have a claim for contribution, both parties must be joint negligent wrongdoers, they must have common liability because of such negligence to the same person, and one party must have borne an unequal proportion of the common burden.
[11] 1975 Wis. Laws, ch. 37, reads in pertinent part as follows: "SECTION 1. Legislative findings. (1) The legislature finds that:
"(a) The number of suits and claims for damages arising from professional patient care has increased tremendously in the past several years and the size of judgments and settlements in connection therewith has increased even more substantially;
"(b) The effect of such judgments and settlements, based frequently on newly emerging legal precedents, has been to cause the insurance industry to uniformly and substantially increase the cost and limit the availability of professional liability insurance coverage;
"(c) These increased insurance costs are being passed on to patients in the form of higher charges for health care services and facilities;
"(d) The increased costs of providing health care services, the increased incidents of claims and suits against health care providers and the size of such claims and judgments has caused many liability insurance companies to withdraw completely from the insuring of health care providers;
"(e) The rising number of suits and claims is forcing both individual and institutional health care providers to practice defensively, to the detriment of the health care provider and the patient;
"(f) As a result of the current impact of such suits and claims, health care providers are often required, for their own protection, to employ extensive diagnostic procedures for their patients, thereby increasing the cost of patient care;
"(g) As another effect of the increase of such suits and claims and the costs thereof, health care providers are reluctant to and may decline to provide certain health care services which might be helpful, but in themselves entail some risk of patient injury;
"(h) The cost and the difficulty in obtaining insurance for health care providers discourages and has discouraged young physicians from entering into the practice of medicine in this state;
"(i) Inability to obtain, and the high cost of obtaining, such insurance has affected and is likely to further affect medical and hospital services available in this state to the detriment of patients, the public and health care providers;
"(j) Some health care providers have curtailed or ceased, or may further curtail or cease, their practices because of the nonavailability or high cost of professional liability insurance; and
"(k) It therefor [sic] appears that the entire effect of such suits and claims is working to the detriment of the health care provider, the patient and the public in general."
of Wisconsin Supreme Court opinions.

For the former theater, see Regal Theater, Chicago.
The Avalon Regal Theater (originally the Avalon Theater, and later the New Regal Theater) lies just off the I-90 Skyway, at 1641 East 79th Street, in Chicago's South Shore community. The theater opened as the Avalon Theater in 1927, when the community was known as Avalon Park, a then predominantly German, Swedish and Irish neighborhood. During the 1960s, more African Americans began to move into the area, transforming local culture while taking advantage of this historic gem for their unique musical and artistic ends. Architecturally, the Avalon Regal's atmospheric Moorish Revivalist theme was conceived by Austrian-born architect John Eberson, who was nationally known for his exotic motifs. Legend has it that Eberson was inspired by an ornate Persian incense burner he found in an antique market in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The Avalon Theater was in business until the late 1970s.
The Avalon Regal received Chicago Landmark status on June 17, 1992. The former owners of the New Regal Theater, Edward and Bettianne Gardner, closed the theater in 2003 after losing money for several years. In 2008, the building was purchased by a group that included Ron and Regina Evans with the hope of reviving it as a cultural venue. However, it saw little use. The site did hold a party to celebrate Barack Obama's presidential nomination acceptance speech in August 2008. The theater was foreclosed on in 2011; it was sold to Community Capital Investment LLC in 2014. The Chicago Regal Foundation 501(c)(3) was created to raise funds needed to reopen and operate it  The Foundation plans to recreate pivotal moments in entertainment history using holographic stage technology.
The Avalon Regal regularly participates in the Chicago Architecture Foundation's yearly event, Open House Chicago. This annual opportunity allows visitors to tour the interior of the building for free.

I have learned the importance of living life in full bloom. Every flower I paint, each paint stroke I imagine, sparked by recycled objects, is part of my journey. I'm blooming! I love working with a sculptural effect, using found objects for inspiration - and only recently have I been thinking in flowers. I am an artist. I am also a domestic violence survivor. There was a time in my life when flowers, as well as my artwork, was forbidden.
But I find myself living in flowers these days! My imagination is a garden. The strongest flower grows in spite of adversity. You know what they say...Where a flower blooms, there is hope. I'm hoping that someday, all domestic violence will cease to exist. I know that doesn't sound realistic in this world, though. I speak out so that my past won't be someone else's future. For now I'm laughing in flowers. It's my way of rejoicing. Thank you for joining me.


On the 7th March 2011 my web/email server fell to an early grave, the motherboard in the Shuttle PC decided it had finally had enough. The symtoms began weeks before with random re-booting and which progressed to being unable to boot into the bios let alone Windows, and finally to the motherboard firing up for less than 3 secs then shutting down. At this point it wasn't looking good for anything but the skip!
So, I pulled the backup hardware from storage got web & email for the family up & running again. However, I now had a situation where I was running without a backup solution, and since I couldn't get parts by way of a replacement MB for example for the knackered Shuttle it wasn't looking good!
To fully test, I did the usual and replaced the ram and checked all connections but to no avail and was about to chuck out the motherboard when I decided to strip it down for a closer inspection of the actual board. 20+ years of working in electronics has taught me a few lessons, one of which is that power supply's in particular are prone to breakdown and the reasons why!
Testing the PSU under load proved it was fine, so thoughts went over and a closer look at the actual power circuitry on the motherboard itself......and there lay the problem right in front of me.
If you look closely at the 2off large 6.3v 1800uF electrolytic capacitors in the photo below you'll see the tops of them are slightly domed. They should be completely flat and this a sure sign they have failed or at the very least are on their way out. It's a combination of time & heat which dries out the seals within the capacitor and failure. Luckily though no electrolyte has escaped which could have corroded the motherboard.
So, this explains the gradual demise of the server, over time the issue gets worse as the capacitors get drier and their capacity reduces further & further. The rest of the electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard looked fine.
Removed from the board the problem is easier to see.
Measuring the capacity on my cap. meter they are down from 1800uF to about 800uF each. Such a loss it's easy to imagine the motherboard failing to cope with heavy DC supply rippling as a result of less supply decoupling.
Here's a couple of new capacitors fitted. I didn't have the exact size physically/electrically in stock (sic!), so a couple of much larger 25v 2200uF electrolytics were squeezed in to the limited space available and with a spot of sealant to hold them. Not very neat to look at, but being for home use only.....who cares!
Notice the heat pipes from the CPU, they run right over the capacitors, so it got me to wondering if there was extra heat around there which contributed to the demise of the original ones, especially as this PC is on 24/7.
An here's the Shuttle PC back together and under test and in my new workshop! It's working perfectly including running a burn-in test CD I have. Job finished this Shuttle PC becomes the new 'emergency spare'.
UPDATE 01/06/11: Now running this PC as the live server for the hell of it.
PS: Note the 19" LCD is permanently mounted on the wall for just such PC repairs, and my mini keyboard/trackball combo which is great for a cluttered workbench.

The Story Behind Your Cell Culture
If you use a human cell line in your research, have you wondered where, or who, it came from? I never gave it much thought, until I read Rebecca Skloot's book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
In 1951, cervical tumour cells were taken from Henrietta Lacks and put into culture, to divide endlessly and be distributed across labs all over the world, perhaps to eventually find their way to your incubator: cells known as HeLa cells.
Informed Consent?
In those days, informed consent was not standard procedure, and certainly not for black people like Henrietta Lacks. The Jim Crow laws prescribed 'separate, but equal' treatment of coloured people. Segregation was indeed standard in public facilities, but 'equal' is subject to debate. Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the hospital Henrietta visited after she had felt a lump in her womb, had separate wards and water fountains for black people. Johns Hopkins Hospital was built in 1889 for the sick and poor. It was the only major hospital in the region that treated black patients. The wards were filled with black people who were unable to pay their medical bills. It was not uncommon for these patients to be used as research subjects; the doctors considered this fair compensation for their otherwise free treatment. Patients were not always told that their cases were used in research.
Henrietta's gynaecologist Wesley Telinde had developed a theory on cervical cancer, which, if proven right, could drastically reduce deaths from cervical cancer. Almost everybody in the field was sceptical about his ideas, but he was convinced that carcinoma in situ was an early stage of the more deadly invasive carcinoma, instead of a distinct type that only needed milder treatment. He proposed that carcinoma in situ should be treated in the same aggressive way as invasive cancers, to prevent it from spreading.
Establishing the HeLa Cell Line
Telinde wanted to prove his theory by showing that carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma behave the same way in the laboratory. He gave a sample of Henrietta's cervical carcinoma to George Gey, who ran a tissue culture research laboratory with his wife, Margaret. For the past 30 years, they had been trying to grow malignant cells outside the body. They knew it was possible because it had been done with mouse cells in 1943. They were determined to grow the human equivalent.
Mary Kubicek, the technician responsible for setting up a culture of Henrietta's cells, was not overly excited when the sample was put on her bench. Why would this particular sample prove any different to all the others she had cultivated, only to find the cells dead after hours of work? But, contrary to Mary's expectations, the cells not only remained alive but divided, doubling their numbers every 24 hours. The first human immortal cell line was a reality. Soon, other scientists became interested and George Gey sent vials to labs all over the planet.
While scientists were benefiting from HeLa cells for a wide range of scientific studies, the general public was not aware that the long-promised human cell culture 'that would help cure humans of all disease' was now available. After decades of optimistic predictions, the public didn't believe in it anymore. But a revolution was taking place. Many different cell lines were now available. Efforts were made to standardise the technique of cell culture and culture medium became commercially available. Learning how to freeze cells greatly facilitated shipping and handling, because it was no longer necessary to spend time and money just keeping cells alive.
"They could grow on a doorknob"
Since HeLa cells were so easy to process and grow, in a monolayer or in suspension, scientists joked that they might survive on a doorknob or in a sink drain. This turned out not to be so amusing. On a conference on cell culture, somebody announced that he had found that 18 of the then most commonly used cell cultures (mostly of Caucasian origin) seemed to be contaminated by cells derived from a Negro person, most probably HeLa cells. Indeed, it turned out that HeLa cells could survive without optimal culture conditions: on pipettes, lab coats, and unwashed hands. Once one HeLa cell ended up in a dish of another culture, it would soon take over.
Naturally, this came as quite a shock, not least to the companies selling the contaminated cell lines. At the time, they could only guarantee that their cultures were free of viral or bacterial contamination, and free of cells of other species. They could not check for contamination by cells of other human beings. Later, genetic mapping allowed identification of HeLa cells in other cultures, after the DNA of Henrietta's husband and two children had been obtained.
Back to Henrietta
Henrietta never knew her cells were dividing in all these labs. She was treated with radium. The tumour seemed to go away. But ten months after diagnosis, Henrietta's body filled with rapidly growing tumours, which ultimately led to her death. 'll leave it to you to read what it meant to Henrietta's family when they finally found out that HeLa cells had been living outside Henrietta's body longer than inside, and greatly contributed to science.
This poor, Christian tobacco farmer family had lived all their lives in an impoverished and dangerous neighbourhood. They knew little about science, so when they first heard that Henrietta's cells had become immortal, her son wondered whether that meant he would live forever himself. Although at first the family didn't want anything to do with journalists, Rebecca Skloot gained their trust. Together with Henrietta's daughter Deborah, she dived into history and helped the family not just to accept the situation but also to see how their mother had helped to advance science.
Rebecca Skloot has written a fascinating and comprehensive account of the development of cell culture as a scientific tool, the life of a poor black family in Baltimore, and how these two story lines coincide.

Nice one, Judith.
It's a sad irony that many of Henrietta Lacks' descendents today cannot afford the medical advances that her cells made possible. If you think that we owe a little more to those who have contributed so much to science without recognition or personal benefit, you could always make a donation to the Henrietta Lacks Foundation:
http://henriettalacksfoundation.org/
They fund education and medical grants to people in financial need who have made significant contributions to science as research subjects.
Judith R. Brouwer on October 11, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Thank you Cristy for making us aware of the existence of the Henrietta Lacks Foundation; it's a nice initiative. (Assuming that you work for the Foundation:) Good luck with the work!
… Cristy, I've just found out that you're a regular author for Bitesize Bio. Nevertheless: thanks for pointing out about the Foundation.

Town Criers and Hand-Stitched Masks: How an AJWS Grantee Halted COVID-19 in Kenya's Lamu Island
Posted by Justin Jacobs

When Shee Kibwana Shee was growing up in Lamu Island, Kenya, he always dreamed of becoming a journalist — reporting the news that mattered most to his community and bringing people together. Decades later, he's doing exactly that, but in a way he never expected: For the past 15 years, Shee has been Lamu's town crier. Community members entrust Shee to circle Lamu's public squares, markets and ports on foot with a megaphone, delivering messages and making important announcements about upcoming events, political issues and local news.
In Lamu, this form of newscasting is the traditional norm. But it's also essential, as Internet access is limited. And since the COVID-19 pandemic began tearing through Kenya in early 2020, Shee's work has never been more important. For months, AJWS grantee-partner Save Lamu has employed Shee to deliver critical messages educating his community about the virus, and how people can stay safe and healthy.
Lamu's Man with the Megaphone
Step off the boat from mainland Kenya onto Lamu Island, and you might feel like you entered another century. Lamu's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre and home to about 25,000 people. It's considered the best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa, with a port that's been moving goods through the continent for 600 years. People use donkeys more than cars to navigate Lamu's narrow alleyways, textile shops and tree-shaded squares.
61-year old Shee was born and raised in Lamu, and when he began working as a town crier in 2006, he relished that he could spread messages to his community so effectively, as they sat for tea in Lamu's leafy town square or congregated at the seafront. He is a pivotal piece of Lamu's culture: The island's older residents don't rely on radios or television — let alone smartphones — to hear the news. They rely on Shee.
And in 2020, he just may have saved their lives.
"I'm so proud that the message I spread about the dangers of COVID-19 has reached a big percentage of people here in Lamu," says Shee. "I feel like I have saved so many."

Saving the Environment, and Saving Lives
Shee first became a critical part of the local COVID response effort in spring of 2020, when AJWS grantee-partner Save Lamu hired him to deliver messages about virus prevention. Prior to the pandemic, this local advocacy organization had worked tirelessly to protect the region's delicate ecosystem from damaging industrial development projects, largely through community-based advocacy.
In 2019, for example, Save Lamu and a coalition of advocacy organizations (including deCOALonize, another local group supported by AJWS) halted plans for the construction of a coal plant that would have sucked resources from this coastal region and dumped wastewater into the sea, destroying Lamu's fishing industry.
But as COVID-19 swept the world, Save Lamu drastically shifted its work to COVID-19 education and material aid — they knew the lives of their community members were at stake. As misinformation about the virus flew rampant and masses of people lost their jobs, Save Lamu stepped in to educate the community about preventing the virus's spread, distribute food to those most in need, and create thousands of hand-made face masks.

"At first, people simply didn't believe the virus was real; the pandemic couldn't exist here because Lamu has a hot climate," remembers Save Lamu's Communications Officer Khadija Juma. "We knew we needed to give people the tools to protect themselves, but also educate them scientifically about the dangers of the virus."
Beginning in April 2020, Save Lamu launched educational social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to reach the youth of Lamu Island and the surrounding county. Save Lamu staff knew they needed a trusted, local community member to deliver the message to the island's older residents and people without televisions or smartphones — and Shee was the man for the job.
Save Lamu worked to protect their community through these educational messages, but also through direct, critical aid. Their staff hit the road to Lamu county's more remote villages, where they distributed thousands of hand-sewn facemasks and installed over 70 water tanks, giving people access to clean water and hand sanitizer.

In these villages, staff members would go gather villagers to explain how the virus spreads, and demonstrate mask use and proper handwashing techniques, so people understood the importance of the masks they'd received and the clean water installed in their village.
"We'd organize demonstrations for just 10 or 15 people at a time, then move on to the next group," says Khadija. "We targeted mosques and churches, and collaborated with imams and pastors to spread the word about COVID-19 prevention before prayer time. We'd gather people in markets, around public toilets, in the bus stations — anywhere we could safely bring people together. It brought a huge impact to Lamu county."
On the Road and at Home, a Success Story
For Shee, working with Save Lamu has brought new meaning to his community reporting, and has reinforced his love for his island.
"Lamu is my home, and I feel happy to be here," he says. "And even though my dream to become a journalist never became a reality, I'm happy I continued to follow my passion for community reporting. I get to connect with people."
Save Lamu's work has been undeniably effective. According to Khadija, the region has seen less than 100 reported COVID-19 cases — largely thanks to their campaigns to educate and equip the public to protect themselves. And they've resumed their advocacy work to convince international funders not to invest in development projects that could harm the community. Save Lamu is truly living up to its name.
"If you stop a small kid in Lamu and ask him or her: 'How do you prevent and protect yourself from COVID-19?', the kid could give you all the answers. And we have elderly people right now who are the most educated on the island about COVID," says Khadija, before adding, proudly, "We reached our targets."

The Daniel Plan is unique because it is based on the Bible. It is based on God's best plan for our lives. And while change of any kind is never easy, it is a necessity for our emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
Making radical changes in our lives requires radical commitment, perseverance, and doing a lot of hard work on our hearts. Pastor Rick Warren teaches us about five key elements to make sure the changes that we make actually stick.
Lasting change requires building your life on the truth. Nothing will change permanently until you dig down to the bed-rock of truth about your life and God's purpose for it.
Lasting change requires making wise choices. You won't change until you choose to change.
Lasting change requires new ways of thinking. If you want to change how you act, you must begin by changing how you feel.
Lasting change requires God's Spirit in your life. You cannot change by willpower alone. You must have God's power.
"Why don't you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?" Galatians 5:18 (MSG).
Lasting change requires honest community. The deepest changes in your life will only happen as you open up to a few trusted friends who will support you.
Don't get discouraged if you hit bumps in the road. Change happens in steps and that means that bumps and setbacks will happen. The Daniel Plan is a program that teaches you to track your progress and see changes in your life gradually. When you make a mistake, don't beat yourself up. Use those mistakes as an opportunity to educate yourself on how to do better next time. You can learn from your mistakes and God can use them to change your life.
Ultimately, lasting change begins with committing your body to God. Your physical health sets the tone for all other aspects in your life—your spiritual health, your emotional health, your relational health, and your financial health. What you do with your body and how you treat it leads the way for overall healthy living.

Q: Bidirectional cascade Lets say you have two classes, Boss and Employee.
There is a bidirectional many-to-many relationship(using a join table) between Boss and Employee, where Boss is the owner of the relationship.
If I load a instance of Employee, I'm not allowed to delete it, due to the foreign key in the join table, which makes sense.
Now, I can manually loop through the Boss collection of the Employee instance, and remove the employee instance (which is to be deleted) from the relevant collection in each of the Boss instances. But, I was wondering, is there any way to cascade this? So, if I delete the Employee instance, it will automatically remove the entry in the join table, but not actually delete the Boss instances.
-Daniel

A: Nope, you can persist changes only from the Owner side:

Changes made only to the inverse end of the association are not persisted.

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is getting her new wax statue being put up at Madam Tussauds, Singapore, perhaps it's not just another wax statue; rather, it will be a talking statue to interact with the audience. With this, Anushka will become the first Indian to have their talking wax statue at the popular Madame Tussauds museum.
Madame Tussauds is known for its exceptionally uncanny wax statues of well-known personalities and celebrities from all over the world. Continuing to awe the audience, Tussauds has come up with talking wax statues of personalities. A lot of Indian celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karan Johar and others already have their statues being displayed at the Madame Tussauds museums. Adding to the list, Anushka Sharma too is getting honoured with a wax statue. However, Anushka's statue will be a talking sculpture.
The Tussauds team has planned Anushka's statue to be holding a phone in one hand and it will greet the audience if one picks up the phone. Some interactive features are also given to the statues of personalities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Oprah Winfrey and Lewis Hamilton, with Anushka adding to the attraction now because it will talk. Tussauds team says that the talking feature is generally added to the wax statues of global leaders/icons and that they are "thrilled to be working with Anushka Sharma" as she will have the first talking wax figure at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
The Singapore Tussauds expressed how Anushka has been frequently requested by guests and her talking statue will be an incredibly popular addition to our attraction. It is said that the museum is too selective when it comes to choosing the celebrities to make their wax statues and adding additional features to make them attractive and Anushka being one of them – has stepped up as a globally recognised celebrity.


Just in time for Memorial Day, the U.S. Senate passed the necessary resolution to place a memorial to fallen Jewish chaplains in Arlington National Cemetery, next to existing memorials to Roman Catholic and Protestant chaplains. A similar resolution passed the House of Representatives earlier in the week. JWB Jewish Chaplains Council, a division of JCC Association, has led the effort to correct what was seen as a longstanding wrong. "We are immensely gratified that this sad oversight is about to be corrected," said Rabbi Harold Robinson, director of JWB Jewish Chaplains Council. "Finally, these fallen chaplains will be brought home to their comrades in ministry." The presentation made to the Congress is below.
N.Y. Representative Anthony Weiner and N.Y. Senator Charles Schumer introduced resolutions in the House of Representatives and the Senate to authorize the memorial. Florida Representative Miller and Washington Senator Murray are chairs of the veterans services committees in the House and Senate, respectively. Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina is the ranking Republican on the Senate committee.
The next step was approval of the monument's design by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts when the Commission met in June. After approximately six weeks for fabrication, the plaque will go on tour to different communities, giving people a chance to see it and learn more about the role of Jewish chaplains. JWB hopes to have the dedication in Arlington during the fall to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Jewish chaplaincy. The first Jewish chaplain was commissioned in 1862, in the midst of the Civil War.
The JFNA, Jewish War Veterans, and the Sons of the American Legion were among the many communal organizations that worked tirelessly to get the resolution passed. The project was initiated when Ken Kraetzer's discovered that Jewish chaplains were not memorialized on Chaplains Hill in the same way as others. A member of Squadron 50 of the Sons of the American Legion, in Pelham, N.Y., Kraetzer was doing historical research on memorials in Rhode Island. He was familiar with the story of the USS Dorchester, which the American Legion focuses on annually in commemorations all over the country, and wondered why Rabbi Goode was not among those listed at Arlington. One of the transformational moments in American life was the heroic sacrifice of the four chaplains of the USS Dorchester, which was transporting 900 soldiers and civilian workers to the European front when it was sunk by German torpedoes off the coast of Greenland on February 3, 1943. Each of the four chaplains on board spontaneously gave his lifejacket to another soldier, and the chaplains perished together as they prayed and sang hymns to men in lifeboats and in the icy water. The chaplains represented three faith traditions—two Protestants, a Catholic, and a Jew—and their death marked the first time the term "Protestant, Catholic and Jew" was used to describe America. Three of the four are memorialized on Chaplain's Hill, but neither Rabbi Alexander Goode nor any of the other rabbis who died in other active service situations are so remembered.


MATTAWAN, Mich. -- Mattawan Creek is over its banks along Main Street in the village of Mattawan, thanks in part to heavy rain and snow melt over the past couple of days.
One resident we spoke to, however, says an altered landscape and inadequate drainage system is making the problem worse. "This used to be farmland, and all of the stores and restaurants and everything -- none of this was here before," said Lynn Coy, a long-time resident of Mattawan. "And once they put all of this in and made this retention pond, this is what happens when we get a lot of rain."
Coy estimates that around 2.5 inches of rain fell in Mattawan between Sunday night and Tuesday morning.
Further west into Van Buren county, several roads were closed or being threatened by rising streams and creeks. A washout on 67th street in Bangor Township closed a large section of that road. In the meantime, water was flowing over a small section of County Road 215.
In Kalamazoo County, Axtell Creek rose well over its banks due to heavy rainfall, causing more road closures. Crosstown Parkway was closed between Park Street and Stockbridge Street. Park Street was closed as well between Crosstown Parkway and Forest Street.
With heavy rainfall still in the forecast through early Wednesday morning, rising waters and road closures are likely to remain an issue in the days ahead.

Q: How to Redirect users from single.php to another page after downloading digital products in Wordpress? I posted this same issue on sitepoint forum but no one gave any solution, that's why I am posting this issue here. Hope I found a solution on stackoverflow.
Im developing a worpdress theme for downloading digital products for myself. I want to redirect my users to single.php to another page which will be dynamic. I mean after clicking download button users will redirect to another page where they will see the orginal downloadable link with a thank you message.
For example: filehippoDOTcom (custom site) & apk4funDOTcom (wordpress site) .
I saw both of the sites are redirecting users when they click on the download button from single post page. I haven't any clue how they do that. Any suggestions, clue or tutorial will be highly appreciated. If anybody need more info about what I am trying to say then please let me know. Thanks in advance.

A: This is the javascript to open a new tab with file to download, and to redirect user using javascript
<script>
download = "http://www.download-page.com/file.rar";
window.open(download);
window.location.href = "http://www.redirect-page.com";
