Establishment of the fact of marriage registered in crimea
In the modern world, couples are in no hurry to go to the registry office and often live in a civil marriage for many years. To protect their rights, the law allows recognizing the fact of living as one family without registering a marriage. Let us dwell in more detail on how to do this and what the consequences may be.
According to the Family Code of Ukraine, a family consists of persons who live together, have a common way of life, common rights and obligations.
In fact, persons living without marriage registration are still a family and receive a number of mutual rights and obligations, including the right to maintenance, the right to inherit and others.
At the same time, living in a civil marriage is not the basis for the emergence of rights and obligations inherent specifically to spouses.
It is possible to establish the fact of living as one family without registering a marriage only through a court in a special procedure, or in a suit.
In the application (for a separate production), it is necessary to indicate why it is necessary to establish this fact, and how it is confirmed. The main condition for establishing the fact that one family lives in a separate proceeding is the absence of a dispute.
If the court sees the existence of a dispute, then the applicant will have to file a statement of claim against the common-law husband.
As a rule, in most cases, the fact of living in one family without marriage registration is established for the purpose of dividing property in a civil marriage, inheritance or receiving a survivor's pension. However, this fact can be established for any other legitimate purpose.
In the law firm Skryabina D.S. the following cost of services related to establishing the fact of living with one family without registering a marriage:
drawing up and filing a statement of claim in court – from UAH 500;
participation in 1 court session (with or without the applicant) – UAH 500;
petitions, lawyer inquiries – UAH 200;
conducting a case on establishing the fact of living as one family without registering a marriage on a turnkey basis – 3500 UAH.
Division of property acquired in a civil marriage in Ukraine
All property that was acquired by a man and a woman in a civil marriage, provided that they lived as one family, is their common joint property. Such property can be divided by voluntary agreement of the parties, or by filing a claim with the court.
Family lawyer in Ukraine
Our lawyers are often asked the question: How to establish the fact of living in one family with the testator? How to draw up a statement on the establishment of the fact of residence? What are the grounds for refusing to satisfy an application for establishing the fact of living as one family?
On our website advokat-family.com.ua you will find all the answers to your questions in the field of family law in Ukraine.
The right to inheritance in a civil marriage in Ukraine
In order to accept the inheritance of a deceased common-law husband, it is necessary to live with him as one family for at least five years prior to death. In this case, the common-law spouses become heirs of the fourth order.
Evidence of spouses living together in Ukraine
In this case, it is necessary to go to court and prove the fact of living together, maintaining a common life, family budget, etc. The evidence can be very diverse.
For example, general photographs, acts of examination of an apartment indicating the fact that both parties live there, registration at the same address, joint bank accounts and any other data confirming the fact of living together in a civil marriage.
The rights of children in a civil marriage in Ukraine
If the child's parents live in a civil marriage, this does not in any way affect the rights of such a child and does not limit him in any way in comparison with the situation when the marriage between the parents is registered.
If another person is indicated as the father of the child in the birth certificate, or the father is not indicated at all, then the fact of living in a civil marriage with the mother does not give the man any parental rights or responsibilities.
Marriage between people of the same sex in Ukraine
The law clearly states that only a man and a woman can be considered spouses. Cohabitation of persons of the same sex can be recognized as living as one family, but only in terms of those rights and obligations that do not relate to married life.

Frequently asked questions to a lawyer in Ukraine
A guide to opening an LLC in Russia
Before focusing on the ways for foreign founders to establish a legal presence in Russia, it would be helpful to say a few words about common forms of local business structures for non-resident investors.
This form of business does not require opening a company in Russia. Distributorship contract is an economically feasible options for foreign small businesses. At an early stage, when there are no regular employees and no reliable distribution channels, a foreign legal entity (FLE) may allow the Russian companies to sell the FLEs' goods in Russia.
Cooperation between the manufacturer and the official distributor may take several forms. A FLE may grant a Russian distributor exclusive rights to import goods and sell them in Russia.
A FLE may choose several distributors for various groups of goods or impose territorial restrictions requiring the customers to purchase products only from a certain distributor.
Most commonly a distributor grants smaller dealers the rights to work with clients and focuses on product promotion and partner network expansion.
Representative office or branch. A branch and representative office (RO) of a FLE are stand-alone subsidiaries governed by a parent company and performing all or some of its functions.

In practice, branches and representative offices are the most common forms of business for medium and large FLEs. They may open and close accounts in the Russian and foreign banks, make transactions and sign contracts.
Branches and representative offices are managed by an appointed head/director.
FLEs' branches or representative offices registered in Russia pay taxes in line with the Russian tax legislation and international agreements.
Double taxation treaties between Russia and FLE's countries of origin are meant to prevent double taxation.
To work in Russia, branches and representative offices are subject to accreditation, which takes about thirty days and requires a 120,000 roubles fee.
Joint venture. There is no such thing as a joint venture (JV) in Russian law. Essentially, it is an unofficial name for an organization established by local and foreign businessmen in Russia. JV is registered as an ordinary company, a joint stock company (JSC) or a limited liability company (LLC).
To form a joint venture a foreign investor may establish a new company or buy a stake in an existing Russian-owned enterprise by acquiring a participatory interest in the company's charter capital or by becoming a participant through an increase in the charter capital.
The advantages of this type of business in Russia include the ability to tap several markets and strong economic growth. What is more, the Russian partners are fully aware of the market climate, well versed in legal matters and have the required expertise and contacts.
The most popular forms of company registration in Russia are joint stock companies and limited liability companies. Such legal entities operate under their own charter and in line with the Russian laws.
The incorporation procedures for a JSC and an LLC are very similar, the difference is that after JSC incorporation, it is necessary to additionally register the shares issue and delegated the powers of keeping the register of shareholders to a professional registrar.
The liability of the participants for the company's debts is limited to the payment of their shares in the charter capital. LLC may opt for a simplified tax system (STS), a preferential tax regime offered by the state, which is beneficial to small and medium businesses.
This article will focus on registration of an LLC with non-resident founders, as the most familiar and easy-to-use business form for foreigner investors.
Before going into details, it is necessary to outline the existing terms for establishing an LLC with foreign participation in Russia.
Is it possible to open an LLC with foreign participants (foreign national or a FLE) in Russia? Under par. 4 of art. 66 of the Russian Civil Code the participants in the economic companies and the investors in the limited (commandite) partnerships may be the citizens and the legal entities.
The law may prohibit or restrict the participation of the individual categories of citizens in the economic partnerships and companies, with the exception of the public joint-stock companies. The similar rule is set out in par. 1 of art. 7 of the Federal law "On Limited Liability Companies" (On LLC) dated 08.02.
1998 N14-FZ.
Registration of LLC with foreign participation +7(495) 589-05-39 and info@ur-help.ru
On the basis of par. 7 of art. 11 of the Law N 14-FZ registration procedure for LLC with foreign participation is determined by the federal law.

Crimea[a] is a peninsula along the northern coast of the Black Sea in Eastern Europe. It has a population of 2.4 million,[1] made up mostly of ethnic Russians with significant Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar minorities.[2] The peninsula is almost entirely surrounded by both the Black Sea and the smaller Sea of Azov; it is located south of Kherson Oblast in Ukraine, to which it is connected by the Isthmus of Perekop, and west of Krasnodar Krai in Russia, from which it is separated by the Strait of Kerch though linked by the Crimean Bridge since 2018. The Arabat Spit is located to its northeast, a narrow strip of land that separates a system of lagoons named Sivash from the Sea of Azov. Across the Black Sea to the west lies Romania and to the south is Turkey.
Crimea (or the Tauric Peninsula, as it was called from antiquity until the early modern period) has historically been at the boundary between the classical world and the Pontic–Caspian steppe.
Its southern fringe was colonised by the Greeks and then ruled by the Persians followed by the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and finally successor states including the Empire of Trebizond and Principality of Theodoro. During the entirety of this period the urban areas were Greek-speaking and eventually eastern Christian (Eastern Orthodox).
During the collapse of the Byzantine state some cities fell to its creditor, the Republic of Genoa, until eventually all were absorbed by the rapidly rising Ottoman Empire.
Throughout this time the interior was occupied by a changing cast of invading steppe nomads and empires, such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Crimean Goths, Alans, Bulgars, Huns, Khazars, Kipchaks, Mongols, and the Golden Horde. Crimea and adjacent territories were united in the Crimean Khanate, a sometime dependency of the Ottomans, during the 15th to 18th century, and often raided south Russia for slaves.
In 1783, Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire as the result of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774). Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Crimea became an autonomous republic within the Russian SFSR in the Soviet Union.
During World War II, Crimea was downgraded to the Crimean Oblast and the entirety of one of its indigenous populations, the Crimean Tatars, were deported to Central Asia, an act recognized as a genocide by Ukraine and three other countries.
In 1954, the Soviet Union transferred Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR from the Russian SFSR.
[5] With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was reestablished as an independent state in 1991, and most of the peninsula was reorganized as the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and the city of Sevastopol retained its special status within Ukraine.
The 1997 Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet partitioned the former Soviet Black Sea Fleet and allowed Russia to continue basing its fleet in Crimea: both the Ukrainian Naval Forces and Russia's Black Sea Fleet were to be headquartered in Sevastopol. Ukraine extended Russia's lease of the naval facilities under the 2010 Kharkiv Pact in exchange for further discounted natural gas.
The status of Crimea is disputed. It is claimed by Ukraine and in 2014 was recognized as Ukrainian by the United Nations[6] and most other countries, but it is governed by Russia.

In February 2014, following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution that ousted the Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych, Russia annexed Crimea after a military intervention by pro-Russian separatists and Russian Armed Forces.
[7] A controversial Crimea-wide referendum, illegal under the Ukrainian and Crimean constitutions,[8][9][10] was held on the issue of reunification with Russia; its official results showed over 90% support for reunification; however, the vote was boycotted by many loyal to Ukraine[11][12] and declared illegitimate by Western governments and the United Nations. Russia formally annexed Crimea on 18 March 2014, incorporating the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol as the 84th and 85th federal subjects of Russia.[13]
The classical name for Crimea, Tauris or Taurica, is from the Greek Ταυρική (Taurikḗ), after the peninsula's Scytho-Cimmerian inhabitants, the Tauri.
Strabo (Geography vii 4.3, xi. 2.5), Polybius, (Histories 4.39.4), and Ptolemy (Geographia. II, v 9.
5) refer variously to the Strait of Kerch as the Κιμμερικὸς Βόσπορος (Kimmerikos Bosporos, romanized spelling, Bosporus Cimmerius), its easternmost part as the Κιμμέριον Ἄκρον (Kimmerion Akron, Roman name: Promontorium Cimmerium,[14] as well as to the city of Cimmerium and whence the name of the Kingdom of the Cimmerian Bosporus (Κιμμερικοῦ Βοσπόρου).
The Crimean Tatar name of the peninsula is Qırım (Crimean Tatar: Къырым, romanized: Kirim/Qırım) and so also for the city of Krym, now called Staryi Krym,[15] which served as a capital of the Crimean province of the Golden Horde.
Between 1315 and 1329 CE, the Arab writer Abū al-Fidā recounted a political fight in 1300–1301 CE which resulted in a rival's decapitation and his head being sent «to the Crimea»,[16] apparently in reference to the peninsula,[17] although some sources hold that the name of the capital was extended to the entire peninsula at some point during Ottoman suzerainty (1441–1783).[18]
The origin of the word Qırım is uncertain. Suggestions argued in various sources include:
a corruption of Cimmerium (Greek, Kimmerikon, Κιμμερικόν).[19][20][21]
a derivation from the Turkic term qirum («fosse, trench»), from qori- («to fence, protect»).[22][23][24]

Florence Nightingale was a trailblazing figure in nursing who greatly affected 19th- and 20th-century policies around proper medical care. She was known for her night rounds to aid the wounded, establishing her image as the 'Lady with the Lamp.'
Part of a wealthy family, Florence Nightingale defied the expectations of the time and pursued what she saw as her God-given calling of nursing.
During the Crimean War, she and a team of nurses improved the unsanitary conditions at a British base hospital, greatly reducing the death count. Her writings sparked worldwide health care reform, and in 1860 she established St.
Thomas' Hospital and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses. A revered hero of her time, she died on August 13, 1910, in London.
Nightingale was born on May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy, the city which inspired her name. The younger of two daughters, Nightingale was part of an affluent British clan that belonged to elite social circles.
Her mother, Frances Nightingale, hailed from a family of merchants and took pride in socializing with people of prominent standing. Despite her mother's interests, Nightingale herself was reportedly awkward in social situations and preferred to avoid being the center of attention whenever possible.
Strong-willed, she often butted heads with her mother, whom she viewed as overly controlling.
Nightingale's father was William Edward Nightingale (having changed his original surname, «Shore»), a wealthy landowner who would be associated with two estates—one at Lea Hurst, Derbyshire, and the other at Embly, Hampshire. Nightingale was provided with a classical education, including studies in mathematics along with German, French and Italian.
From a young age, Nightingale was active in philanthropy, ministering to the ill and poor people in the village neighboring her family's estate. Nightingale eventually came to the conclusion that nursing was her calling; she believed the vocation to be her divine purpose.
When Nightingale approached her parents and told them about her ambitions to become a nurse, they were not pleased and forbade her to pursue appropriate training.
During the Victorian Era, where English women had almost no property rights, a young lady of Nightingale's social stature was expected to marry a man of means to ensure her class standing—not take up a job that was viewed by the upper social classes as lowly menial labor.
In 1849, Nightingale refused a marriage proposal from a «suitable» gentleman, Richard Monckton Milnes, who had pursued her for years.
She explained her reason for turning him down, saying that while he stimulated her intellectually and romantically, her «moral…active nature» called for something beyond a domestic life. (One biographer has suggested that the rejection of marriage to Milnes was not in fact an outright refusal.
) Determined to pursue her true calling despite her parents' objections, Nightingale eventually enrolled as a nursing student in 1850 at the Institution of Protestant Deaconesses in Kaiserswerth, Germany.
In the early 1850s, Nightingale returned to London, where she took a nursing job in a Harley Street hospital for ailing governesses. Her performance there so impressed her employer that Nightingale was promoted to superintendent.
Nightingale also volunteered at the Middlesex Hospital around this time, grappling with a cholera outbreak and unsanitary conditions conducive to the rapid spread of the disease.
Nightingale made it her mission to improve hygiene practices, significantly lowering the death rate at the hospital in the process.
In October 1853, the Crimean War broke out. Allied British and French forces were at war against the Russian Empire for control of Ottoman territory. Thousands of British soldiers were sent to the Black Sea, where supplies quickly dwindled. By 1854, no fewer than 18,000 soldiers had been admitted into military hospitals.

At the time, there were no female nurses stationed at hospitals in the Crimea. After the Battle of Alma, England was in an uproar about the neglect of their ill and injured soldiers, who not only lacked sufficient medical attention due to hospitals being horribly understaffed but also languished in appallingly unsanitary conditions.
In late 1854, Nightingale received a letter from Secretary of War Sidney Herbert, asking her to organize a corps of nurses to tend to the sick and fallen soldiers in the Crimea. Given full control of the operation, she quickly assembled a team of almost three dozen nurses from a variety of religious orders and sailed with them to the Crimea just a few days later.
The Facts About Crimea Should Be Recognised. And So Should Crimea

Although the redoubtable New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared that the Covid-19 virus "has been ahead of us from Day One. We've underestimated the enemy, and that is always dangerous, my friends. We should not do that again" it is too much to expect of most political figures that they should ever admit they were wrong about something. President Trump, for example, flatly refuses to acknowledge that in January 2020 he declared that "we have [the virus outbreak] totally under control", and there are countless similar instances of denial of realities by other leaders, not only about the pandemic, but about very many facets of international affairs. This reluctance extends to the media, although sometimes, it has to be said, some of the media are forced to recognise facts that to them are unpalatable, and to adjust their position accordingly.
One recent instance of non-adjustment, however, is the Western media's continuing public relations and propaganda campaign against Russia.
On 9 April Al Jazeera carried a report that "A U.S.-Russian space crew blasted off Thursday to the International Space Station following tight quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic.
NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Roscosmos' Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner lifted off as scheduled from the Russian-operated Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan." There was an excellent 400-word piece about the mission, just as one would expect from Al Jazeera.
On the other hand, the New York Times, as ascertained from a search of its website on 10 April, didn't mention the mission at all. The Washington Post carried a twelve-word item that read in its entirety "By Associated Press April 9, 2020 — A U.S.-Russian space crew has blasted off to the International Space Station." End.
The reason for reluctance on the part of the U.S. mainstream media to inform the world about such an important international event is that Russia played the major part in a successful space mission with the United States.
Imagine the news cover if the spacecraft hadn't been a Russian Soyuz, but a U.S.-produced SpaceX (still under vastly expensive development) launched from the Kennedy Space Centre.
There would have been front-page headlines with "Keep America Great" exhortations from the space commander in Washington.
And so the propaganda of the third Cold War continues, involving all sorts of important international affairs, not least being Crimea which (whisper this) is doing very nicely, thank you, having been restored to Mother Russia.
It must be acknowledged, however, that the Washington Post marked the sixth anniversary of the restoration with a piece on 18 March that (albeit reluctantly) recognised Crimea's accession to Russia.
It noted, among other things, that "in Crimea itself, the annexation was popular, especially among Crimea's large population of older ethnic Russians. More than five years later, and billions of roubles of investment later, it remains popular.
" It is mandatory in the West to use the word "annexation" when referring to the accession of Crimea to Russia following a popular referendum, but even the Post can't escape the facts, which are so distasteful to the propagandists.
In 1783 Crimea became part of Russia and remained so until, as recorded by the BBC, "In 1954 Crimea was handed to Ukraine as a gift by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev who was himself half-Ukrainian.
" The majority of citizens wanted to rejoin Russia rather than stay with crippled post-revolution Ukraine which would have victimized them because of their Russian heritage.
One of its first actions "was to repeal a 2012 law recognising Russian as an official regional language" and governance from Kiev boded badly for minorities.
It was rarely stated that 90 percent of the inhabitants of Crimea are Russian-speaking, Russian-cultured and Russian-educated, and they voted to "dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another" (in the words of the Declaration of Independence of 1776) in order to rejoin Russia.
It would be strange if they had not wanted to accede to a country that not only welcomed their kinship, empathy and loyalty but was economically benevolent concerning their future, as has now been amply demonstrated by ensuing growth and prosperity.
As even the Washington Post had to acknowledge, "Crimea's three largest ethnic groups are, by and in large, happy with the direction of events on the peninsula."
At the time that these ethnic groups were voting to rejoin their mother country, five years ago, the West, and most notably the administration in Washington, decided to oppose any such move.
It didn't matter that it was a fair and free vote, because there are ways to defeat common sense and national aspirations while creating the impression that it is wrong for people to express their feelings and wishes if these favour a nation that is anathema to those who make the rules.
For example, the government in Crimea invited observers from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to witness and assess the conduct of the referendum held to determine whether the people of Crimea wished to remain under the Kiev government or rejoin Russia.
There were no strings attached, and the invitation was sent to the HQ of the OSCE in Vienna. Then there was a pause during which the matter was considered in who knows what halls of power. And the OSCE conjured up an intriguing excuse for refusing to assess conduct of the plebiscite.
As Reuters reported, "a spokeswoman said Crimea could not invite observers as the region was not a full-fledged state and therefore not a member of the 57-member organization. 'As far as we know, Crimea is not a participating state of the OSCE, so it would be sort of hard for them to invite us,' she said.
She also said that Ukraine, which is an OSCE member, sent no invitation and that the organization 'respects the full territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine'." You couldn't make it up.
The feelings and aspirations of Crimea's citizens didn't matter to the OSCE or to the West as a whole. The West wanted, and still wants, Ukraine to rule Crimea, and seems determined to pester and sanction Russia accordingly. But nobody can seriously imagine for one moment that Russia is going to hand over Crimea to the Kiev government. So what is the answer?

Leaders are no strangers to challenges; in recent years, businesses have experienced unprecedented layoffs, dismal sales, dwindling retirement accounts, and the bankruptcy of once-heralded institutions. While these uncertain times are difficult, they also provide the opportunity for great leadership. Over three decades of research, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, the bestselling authors of The Leadership Challenge, have asked thousands of leaders to describe their personal leadership best. Across the board, people say their greatest moments arise out of the most difficult periods of their careers. Turning Adversity Into Opportunity reveals how leaders at any level can transform difficult circumstances into opportunities for growth and success. Kouzes and Posner offer a clear set of six actionable strategies, showing how extraordinary leaders navigate through uncertainty, hardship, disruption, transformation, transition, recovery, new beginnings, and other significant challenges. Exemplary leadership disrupts the status quo, and Kouzes and Posner show how to awaken and pursue new possibilities and opportunities, no matter what the circumstances. Wherever you find yourself in your organization or community, Turning Adversity Into Opportunity will help you embrace the chance within any challenge to make a real difference.

Odd-mannered, obsessive, withdrawn, Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cookfire.
Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, who they consider to be less than human.
When the autopsy of Matilda's sovereign reveals a surprising link between his death and her mother's suicide some quarter-century before, Aster retraces her mother's footsteps. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it.
"All that was left were the taunts, and the crack of Scar's knee, and the past swooping in, an unkindness of ghosts. Her old life had possessed her, strengthening her, but like everything else, used her up and then was done."
Well I thought this book was pretty great!
The setting is one thing that didn't work all that well for me, as I never could grasp the details of the spaceship Matilda – its size and layout, the population aboard, how it sustained…well, everything. It runs on autopilot and (almost) no one is paying attention to its trajectory. We also never know how exactly it came to be that a society capable of launching a generation ship into space and sustaining its population for centuries had also managed to backtrack to the point of organizing society in a way just like that of the antebellum South.
But I was able to look past that and very much enjoyed the story set within those parameters. Aster, a black intersex autistic alchematician, is such a great character. Taking everything at face value, her authenticity is a delight. Her relationship with the Surgeon/the Hands of the Heavens/the queer ascetic bastard child of the former Sovereign and one of the black lowdeckers, is nothing short of wonderful. The plot of this story revolves around Aster following the clues left behind by the mother who died shortly after birthing her, the mechanic who may have found a way to leave Matilda behind and make it to a better world.
"A scientist, Aster had learned something Giselle had not: decoding the past was like decoding the physical world. The best that could be hoped for was a working model. A reasonable approximation. That was to say, no matter what Aster learned of Lune, there was no piecing together the full mystery of her life. There was no hearing her laugh or feeling her embrace. A ghost was not a person."
This book was troubling to read at times, as it deals with abuses of nearly every kind. I actually choked up when Aster broke down, saying, '"Nobody is allowed to touch me. Nobody's allowed to call me names. I'm alive," she sobbed out. "I'm alive."' This in reference to her recent line of thinking about every living thing being owed the same basic respect.
"People like this guard tried so hard to make Aster feel lesser, but some days, like today, it didn't work, because she saw clearly how superior she was."
If you can suspend disbelief about the details of the setting, and you can stomach the non-gratuitous but plentiful scenes of violence and implied sexual assault, I recommend taking this journey with Aster. You might be surprised at where you wind up.

Aching joints have become known as just another part of the aging process, but what if we can ease that pain?
Osteoarthritis or "wear and tear" of the joints affects 27 million Americans.
That number will only grow as we live longer and stay active. More and more orthopedic specialists are looking to improve people's quality of life and are seeing success with using a person's own fat – called adipose tissue – and injecting it into their joints to provide extra cushioning and to relieve pain.
The concentrated adipose tissue provides joint support to help healing, says Dr. Henry, who also serves as one of the team physicians for the Intercollegiate Athletics Department and the Miami Marlins.
MSCs can aid the different cell types responsible for the repair or growth of bone, cartilage, muscle, tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Studies have revealed evidence of cartilage regeneration in patients with osteoarthritis.
They're not a magic bullet, however.
It takes the right individual and characteristics to benefit from adipose injections. There has to be some joint space left to allow for the fat to be injected safely, according to Dr. Henry. If your condition has left you with a bone-on-bone situation, it means the cartilage is gone and you likely need a joint replacement.
If there is space for the injection, the ideal candidate will be someone who will stick to a physical therapy program, has a body-mass index under 35, and suffers from any chronic diseases, such as blood disorders, cancer, metabolic diseases, or extensive arthritis.
By some estimates, fat has 100-500 times more reparative cells than other body tissue.
Research has shown that, as a person ages, fat tissue maintains its ability to repair itself unlike other tissue such as bone marrow, which may lose healing capacity with age. Dr. Henry says if he can get enough fat and the patient has more than one area of pain, he can inject other areas as well. His approach to a patient with joint pain is to first start with corticosteroid injections and physical therapy. If that doesn't help, for moderate cartilage damage, he would use PRP (platelet rich plasma, acquired from a sample of blood) injections and then adipose tissue with its high concentration of MSCs.
"PRP contains growth factors which may optimize the conditions for healing," he says.
He has been doing these procedures for more than two years and has found PRP also helps with joint pain.
If you are interested in having fat and/or PRP injections in your joints, seek out a physician who is willing to take the time to explain the risks and benefits. It doesn't help everyone. If you are a good candidate and respond to the fat injections, you could be feeling better for up to six months; and then you can have the procedure repeated if needed.

I've been jotting down things as I remember on my "list of things I wish I had known" before we went on our Honeymoon and thought I would share for those that are also thinking about making a trip to the beautiful French Polynesia.
If you take the night flight into Tahiti, I would suggest getting a basic/non-bungalow room. You land in the dark and Tahiti isn't anywhere near as pretty as the other islands so it's not worth the splurge. We took a taxi to the Papeete (Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia) market before our ferry over to Moorea and spent a few hours walking around the downtown area. There's basically no shopping on Moorea or Bora Bora so if you want to purchase anything Tahiti's your best bet. I was a little leery about getting my black pearls at the first place/first morning but don't regret it at all after seeing the shops at the Hilton s and the few scattered everywhere else. I got my pearls at the Tahiti Pearl Market. We actually got to pick the pearls and the settings and then came back 30 minutes later and they had set them.
We started the whole process in April and it was major crunch time to get everything completed. You do have the option of having your final check off dives at your vacation destination (if it's offered) but that eats into your actual "dive" time and you can run into the language barrier with that option too.
We did everything through Choo Choo Dive in Chattanooga. I have nothing but good things to say about this place – everyone we met and worked with there is on top of their game.
We first did the Intro to Scuba class where you receive an explanation of the equipment, sign all the waivers and then get in the pool with the equipment (just the shallow end).
After that, we signed up for the classes (Open Water Diver). We went with the intense weekend course that was Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. Plus an additional Thursday evening to get a nitrox certification.
Once you finish the classes you have to have 5 certification dives in order to be open water certified. We did that at the rock quarry in Athens and it was FREEZING. They do take weekend trips to Florida in the spring but with our timing we couldn't fit it in.
Once we were on the honeymoon, we dove with Top Dive. Adam had pre-paid for the diving before we left (you get a slight discount) and can email with them etc to get any questions answered up front. They have locations throughout the Polynesia but we decided to only dive Bora Bora. We had 2 dives – first one we saw sharks and the second, spotted eagle rays. You don't go far in the ocean at all so motion sickness wasn't an issue. You do have to plan your diving around when your flights are because you have to allow a certain amount of time to pass before you can safely fly. Top Dive picked us up from our resort dock and returned us afterwards.
We did buy/take most of our equipment with us. The only things we rented were ours BCs and tanks. (Be prepared to spend a lot of money on diving equipment!!!! I'm still in sticker shock but it's like any other hobby/sport.. you can buy all levels of equipment with or without the bells and whistles).
No type of heels/pumps whatsoever. I wore the same sandals basically everyday/every meal/everywhere. There's sand everywhere and LOTS of walking involved (from the bungalows to the main resorts can take 10-15 minutes by foot).
Leave anything perfume/lotion/scented home! Bring plenty of bug spray and itch cream! Let's just say I learned the hard way!
If you are taking dive equipment, pack it in its own bag and don't pack your diver certification cards—keep them in your purse/carry-on etc. This saved us many times with not having to pay overweight fees… bat your eyes and say but we have dive equipment and then flash your cards!!
Men don't need anything more than dressy looking shorts. Adam took several pair of dress slacks and maybe wore one pair? It was really too hot and khaki shorts seemed to be the norm/acceptable.
We booked our own flight from Atlanta to LA and then our other flights were part of our package through the travel agency. You just have to allow at least 4 hours between when you land and then take off so you can claim your bags, check in, re-check bags, go through security, customs, etc. There's only 2 flights a day into Tahiti so you don't want to miss your flight!!!
When flying into Bora Bora be on the left side of the plane (you enter from the back, sit on the left so main aisle is to your right).
They are very strict about the baggage (weight/size) restrictions on the Air Tahiti airline. We triple-checked everything before each flight!!
A can of pop is $5. The Diet Coke tasted weird and the last day I discovered the Coke Zero was really more like Diet Coke.
We converted about $250 when we got to the airport in Tahiti. When we got back to the states we converted back and had about $40 left. For the majority of costs you can charge them. Very little need for a lot of cash. I always use my Capital One card for international travel because they're one of the only credit cards (that I'm aware of anyway) that doesn't charge an international fee per charge.
When you're at Moorea, lots of local restaurants will come pick you up/drop you back off for dinner. There's only 1 place to get dinner at the Hilton Resort in Moorea so it was nice to have options. We had an amazing dinner at Rudy's.
When you're in Bora Bora… there's nothing other than the resort. HOWEVER --- we had lunch at Bloody Mary's on the "main land" and it was well worth the boat taxi fee. You'd probably enjoy the dinner there too but we aren't sea food people so lunch was just fine with us (best burger ever). Either way – lunch or dinner – it's something you HAVE to do while you're there.
We did 4x4 jeep safari excursions on both Moorea and Bora Bora. The one on Moorea went through the fruit plantations and by the juice factory (buy pineapple juice – it's so good!! We mixed it with champagne and had mimosas in our bungalow). The one in Bora Bora was a last minute decision and I'm so glad we decided too. We got to see the mainland and some gorgeous views of the lagoons. It's very humbling to see how the people live on the island – especially when you compare it to the glamour of the resorts.
We stayed at both Hilton resorts (Moorea and Bora Bora) and they were fabulous. We met another couple in Moorea at our resort that went on to stay at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora vs the Hilton. I felt like I knew what I was getting staying at the Hilton – BUT – I may have possibly booked at the Four Seasons instead after seeing some of her pictures.
If you stay at the Hilton in Bora Bora, you have to go up to the spa (massage was awesome) but even if you don't get a massage, the spa is famous for the million dollar views. Absolutely beautiful!!
Make sure you ask when you book and when you check in for a bungalow that's as far out as possible and facing away from the other bungalows.
Here's the company/agent we used to book. She's a little ding-batty but has been to the islands a few times and knew about the resorts, etc.

corporation tax, (d) PAYE and (e) national insurance contributions in each year since 1979.
Sir George Young: Excluding staff employed on central administration, the table sets out the total numbers of Inland Revenue staff engaged on the collection of tax within the Department's accounts offices, local network, and enforcement offices for each year since 1978 79 and how many were working in the areas of (a) capital gains tax, (b) schedule D tax, (c) corporation tax and (d) PAYE. Under (d) the figures include staff used in collecting PAYE from employers and a relatively small number of schedule E tax assessments. As resource usage of national insurance contribution work is incidental to mainstream tax collection it is not separately recorded.
Year              |Total            |Capital gains tax|Schedule D tax   |Corporation tax  |PAYE
1978-79           |11,041           |135              |5,873            |560              |4,473

Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current interest rate differential between publicly provided capital for the national health service education and British Rail and capital raised through his private finance initiative.
Sir George Young: For appraisal purposes, the pre-tax cost of capital for central Government activities is normally taken as 6 per cent. in real terms, or its nominal equivalent. For nationalised industries, financial objectives are specified in terms of a required rate of return of 8 per cent. in real terms. The cost of capital raised for projects under the private finance initiative will depend on the creditworthiness of the body concerned and the types of financing which best fit the project.
Cross-border Shopping
Mr. Simon Coombs: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the annual loss of tax revenue from cross-border shopping; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Heathcoat-Amory: The latest annual estimates were included in HM Customs and Excise's submission to the Treasury and Civil Service Select Committee and published in the Committee's report on 23 November 1994, 1994 95 Session, 1st report, HC35.
Mr. Milburn: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer pursuant to his answer of 27 February, Official Report , column 401 , in what form the data on fraud are collected.
Sir George Young: The current reporting arrangements are set out in chapter 37 of "Government Accounting". The chapter includes the form to be used by Departments in reporting fraud.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the change in the standard of living of manual workers in manufacturing relative to white-collar workers in the private sector since 1979.
Mr. Aitken: Figures based on data from the new earnings survey show that between 1979 and 1994 average gross real earnings of manual workers in manufacturing rose by 20 per cent., compared to 57 per cent. for non-manual workers in the private sector as a whole.
Mr. Alan W. Williams: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the percentage change in Britain's gross domestic product since the first quarter of 1990.
Mr. Nelson: The growth in real GDP--gross domestic product at constant factor cost--between the first quarter of 1990 and the fourth quarter of 1994 was 4.2 per cent.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the relative priority attached by Her Majesty's Government to price stability and to maximising living standards.
Mr. Aitken: The objective of the Government's economic policy is to promote sustainable growth and increasing prosperity. Permanently low inflation, combined with sound public finances and structural policies to improve the long-term performance of the economy, is the best way to achieve this objective.
National Power and PowerGen
Mr. Matthew Banks: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the outcome of the Government's sale of substantially all of its shareholdings in National Power Plc and PowerGen plc.
Sir George Young: I am pleased to report that the Government's United Kingdom public offer and international offers of National Power and PowerGen shares were successfully completed this morning, when dealings in interim rights started on the London Stock Exchange.
As a result of bids received in the international offers, the prices of the third instalments for all investors in the UK public offer and the international offers were set at 136p per National Power interim right and 142p per PowerGen interim right.
Accordingly, the price for National Power interim rights purchased in the UK public offer was 476p per share, comprising 170p paid on successful application, 170p to be paid by 6 February 1996 and 136p to be paid by 17 September 1996.
The price for PowerGen interim rights purchased in the United Kingdom public offer was 512p per share, comprising 185p paid on successful application, 185p to be paid by 6 February 1996 and 142p to be paid by 17 September 1996.
The price for interim rights purchased in the international offer of National Power shares was 486p per share, comprising 180p paid on successful application, 170p to be paid by 6 February 1996 and 136p to be paid by 17 September 1996.
The price for interim rights purchased in the international offer of PowerGen shares was 522p per share, comprising 195p paid on successful application, 185p to be paid by 6 February 1996 and 142p to be paid by 17 September 1996.
The Government offered for sale up to 371.8 million National Power shares and 238.3 million PowerGen shares in the UK public offer and the international offers.
Some 1.1 million applications were received in the UK public offer for a total of some 367 million National Power and some 245 million PowerGen shares. This represented two times the share initially expected to be sold in the UK public offer. In response to this demand, the Government increased the total number of shares allotted to the UK public offer to 229 million National Power and 153 million PowerGen shares. At this level, the number of shares applied for in the UK public offer represented some 1.6 times the share available. Over 98 per cent. of applicants in the UK public offer received an allocation of shares. Half of all applicants had their applications met in full.
Almost 248,000 qualifying National Power and PowerGen shareholders and more than 2,600 eligible National Power and PowerGen employees made applications in the UK public offer. All such applicants
received an allocation of National Power or PowerGen shares, as appropriate.
Excluding the retail tender, 108.5 million National Power shares and 56.1 million PowerGen shares were allocated to bidders in the international offers. This number does not include any shares that Kleinwort Benson Ltd. and Barclays de Zoete Wedd Securities Ltd. may have over-allotted in connection with the international offers. The extent of any such over- allotment will not be disclosed until later. As already announced, Kleinwort Benson Ltd. and Barclays de Zoete Wedd Securities Ltd. may also effect stabilisation transactions. Individual investors bidding in the UK retail tender bid for some 24 million shares in National Power and 28 million shares in PowerGen. Of these numbers, some 10 million shares and some 12 million shares, respectively, were in respect of PEP applications. In addition to the shares sold in the UK public offer and the International Offers, Kleinwort Benson Ltd. and Barclays de Zoete Wedd Securities Ltd. as global co-ordinators for the sale, hold an option to acquire from Her Majesty's Treasury up to a further 37.2 million National Power and 23.8 million PowerGen shares for the purpose of meeting any over-allotment made by them in connection with the relevant International Offer. This option must be exercised by 5 April 1995.
Pursuant to an agreement with HM Treasury, National Power plc purchased 98 million shares in conjunction with the offers, at a price consistent with the international offer price. Total gross proceeds from this purchase amount to some £453 million and will be received in this financial year.
Similarly, pursuant to an agreement to HM Treasury, PowerGen plc has purchased 60 million shares in conjunction with the offers, at a price consistent with the international offer price. Total gross proceeds amount to some £292 million and will be received in this financial year.
Total gross proceeds from the UK public offer, the international offers and share repurchases amount to some £3,642 million, of which some £1,782 million is expected to be received in this financial year.
Total gross proceeds may be further increased by a maximum of £305 million to the extent that, if at all, the global co-ordinator, Kleinwort Benson Ltd and Barclays de Zoete Wedd Securities Ltd. exercises its option to acquire further shares.
The costs to the Government of the National Power and PowerGen shares offers, and of the share repurchase arrangements, are estimated to be as follows:
UK Offers                                        |£ million
Marketing                                        |15.2
Share Shop Commissions                           |18.7
Prospectus production and distribution           |0.6
Receiving Banks                                  |3.1
Advisers' fees and expenses                      |7.9
Total (UK Offers)                                |45.6
International Offers commissions and other costs |15.1
Total (UK and Overseas Offers)                   |60.7
Those costs represent about 1.7 per cent. of the estimated total proceeds due from the sale of shares--excluding any shares that the global co- ordinator have an option to purchase. The costs exclude stamp duty and VAT on services provided to the Government, which are not net costs to the Exchequer. There will be some further expenditure in 1995-96 onwards in respect of instalment collection and the issue of bonus shares.
Following the offers, the purchase of shares by National Power and PowerGen and assuming the exercise in full of the option over National Power and PowerGen shares granted by Her Majesty's Treasury to Kleinwort Benson Ltd. and Barlcays de Zoete Wedd Securities Ltd., Her Majesty's Treasury expects to hold not more than 1 per cent. of the issued share capital of either company. These amounts comprise principally shares that may be needed to meet share bonus entitlements under the UK public offer.
Muriel Nissel
Mr. Dafis: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library of Muriel Nissel's article written for the latest issue of Social Trends but not published.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 16 February 1995]: The article Mrs. Nissel submitted to the CSO was not included in the latest edition of Social Trends . However, I understand that it will be published in a forthcoming edition of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society . Copies of the journal are available in the House of Commons Library.
Barings Bank
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the cost to public funds for the Bank of England of the Bank's offer to provide liquidity for the rescue of Barings; and if he will instruct the Bank to make no further offers of this nature.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: As my right hon. and learned Friend told the House on Monday 27 February, the Bank of England stands ready to provide liquidity to the banking system to ensure that it continues to function normally. There was no rescue of Barings and the Governor did not recommend that public funds should be used for this purpose.
Mr. Mackinlay: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made as to by what method and to what extent the asset management arm of Barings is ring fenced to protect it from any disadvantageous situations arising in its other divisions; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: Barings is now in the hands of the administrators. The regulatory requirements applying to fund management should protect the fund management arm from losses elsewhere in the group, but any investors' cash balances held on deposit at Barings Bank will be frozen. Current discussions between the administrators and the ING Group raise the prospect that a favourable settlement may be obtained.
Mr. Mackinlay: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the position of local authorities who had money on short-term deposit with Barings bank; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Nelson [holding reply 2 March 1995]: The administrators are currently engaged in identifying the options for realising maximum benefits for creditors of Barings. Current discussions between the administrators and the ING Group raise the prospect that a favourable settlement may be obtained, but until the administration order is lifted, deposits remain frozen.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make it his policy that no public money will be used directly or indirectly in any attempt to rescue Barings and that the Bank of England should not put any of its own money at risk in such a rescue attempt.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: As my right hon. and learned Friend, the Chancellor told the House on Monday 27 February, the Governor did not recommend, and in any event he would not have agreed, that public funds should be used to rescue Barings.
Derivatives Markets
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proposals he has for regulation of derivative markets to ensure that the bank exposure is geared to a fixed ratio to the capital of the bank concerned.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: We have no current proposals for further regulation of derivatives. The Bank of England already sets a variety of capital requirements for credit institutions depending on the nature of business in which they are engaged. The capital adequacy directive, which comes into force at the end of this year, provides for EU-wide rules on the capital which must be held against market risks, including those involved in derivatives markets.
As my right hon. and learned Friend told the House on Monday 27 February, he has asked the Board of Banking Supervision to investigate fully and urgently all aspects of the Barings episode and to report back to him. Any lessons to be drawn must await a thorough analysis.
Banks (Regulation)
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the Bank of England power to inspect the operations and control structures, and audit the accounts of, all overseas operations of subsidiaries of British banks.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: The Banking Act 1987 already gives the Bank of England extensive powers to supervise the worldwide operations of UK authorised institutions. These powers do not, however, apply directly to non-banking subsidiaries. Their supervision requires co-operation with other relevant regulators. As my right hon. and learned Friend, the Chancellor told the House on Monday 27 February, he has asked the Board of Banking Supervision to investigate fully and urgently all aspects of the Barings episode and to report back to him. Any lessons to be drawn must await a thorough analysis.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proposals he has for setting up an independent regulator with its own inspectors and audit teams to regulate banking.
Mr. Nelson [holding answer 2 March 1995]: The Bank of England already discharges these responsibilities.
Mr. Devlin: To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the Government's achievements in the northern region since 1979.
The Prime Minister: The Government have had many achievements in the northern region since 1979 as our policies have created a favourable economic climate for growth. During this period the region has undergone the biggest transformation since the 19th century with the emergence of a new and diverse industrial base. Pharmaceutical, food processing, clothing, light engineering, electronics and car manufacture have replaced traditional industries. In the area covered by the Government office for the north-east this change has come about through a range of measures:
the attraction of £3 billion overseas investment since 1985, the most notable successes of which were Nissan and Samsung and a further £1.3 billion private sector investment into the areas covered by the Tyne and Wear and Teesside Development Corporations since 1987, creating and safeguarding over 30,000 jobs;
over 5,500 hectares of derelict land reclaimed, including over 700 by the Urban Development Corporations in Tyne and Wear and on Teesside;
in partnership with other organisations, the region's Training and Enterprise Councils have successfully developed innovative solutions to the training and enterprise needs of their areas including the establishment of a business Innovation Centre in Sunderland and a management training and higher education facility in Northumberland. TEC's in the region have also piloted a number of new initiatives: Open Learning Credits, Youth Credits, Adult Credits, the Out of School Childcare Grant, Workstart and Skillchoice.;
assisting over 26,000 unemployed people to start their own businesses since 1987 through the Businesses Start Up Scheme run by Training and Enterprise Councils;
820,000 people placed in jobs by the Employment Service since 1986;
unemployment has fallen by 16,100 or nearly 10 per cent. since the national peak in December 1992;
a substantial number of homes built and improved;
over 4,000 jobs created, 5,000 jobs preserved and 550 new businesses assisted by the South Tyneside and Stockton and Thornaby Task Force; and,
an increase in the numbers of young people staying in full-time education after reaching school leaving age. 12.4 per cent of those leaving schools in the region in 1992 93 intended to pursue a Degree course.
The region also piloted the development of job clubs, now a successful national programme and expects to become the first to have contracted out careers services and to have facilitated a comprehensive network of Business Links.
Mr. Allen: To ask the Prime Minister if he will list the Internet E- mail numbers of all Government Ministers.
The Prime Minister: It is a matter for individual Ministers to decide whether to make public their Internet electronic mail addresses. The two Ministers with responsibility for use of the Internet are the Parliamentary Secretary, Office of Public Service and Science and the Under -Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whose E-mail addresses are publicly available.
Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Prime Minister what role the Cabinet plays in the formulation of (a) economic policy, (b) monetary policy and (c) policy on a single European currency.
The Prime Minister: The Cabinet is the ultimate arbitrator of all aspects of Government policy.
Social Development Summit
Ms Corston: To ask the Prime Minister pursuant to his Answer of 27 February, Official Report, column 412, if the Minister for Overseas Development, in representing him at the Heads of State world summit for social development in Copenhagen, is responsible for negotiating those aspects of the draft declaration and action programme covering national action within the United Kingdom to reduce inequality and poverty and promote full employment and social integration.
The Prime Minister: My right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development will represent me at the high level segment of the summit on 11-12 March. My right hon. and noble Friend will make a statement setting out the United Kingdom perspective on the issues covered by the summit.
Ms Corston: To ask the Prime Minister pursuant to his answer of 27 February, Official Report, column 412, if he will publish briefs which have been prepared by his Government for discussion at the world summit for social development about social development and anti-poverty measures taken and proposed to be taken in the United Kingdom.
The Prime Minister: There are no plans to do so. It is not usual to publish briefing provided by officials to Ministers. The speeches of my right hon. and noble Friend the Minister of State for Overseas Development will be published, and copies will be placed in the Library.
Lockerbie
Dr. Godman: To ask the Prime Minister what proposals he has which would allow Her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States of America to resolve the Lockerbie affair other than by way of instituting criminal proceeding in Scotland or the United States of America; and if he will make a statement.
The Prime Minister: The Lockerbie bombing was a crime committed against a United States aircraft over Scotland. It has been investigated from Scotland with the co-operation of the United States authorities. The trial of those accused of this terrible crime must take place in Scotland or the United States. This has been confirmed by the UN Security Council.
Dr. Godman: To ask the Prime Minister if he will discuss with President Clinton the role in Beirut in 1988 of Ron Carviene, Bill Leyene and Dan O'Connor, under the command of Matthew Gannon and Charles McKee.
The Prime Minister: I have no plans to do so.
Dr. Godman: To ask the Prime Minister what discussions he had when he last met President Clinton on the subject of the setting up of an international court to try those persons alleged to have perpetrated the murders of the passengers and crew members of Pan Am flight 103 and residents of Lockerbie in December 1988; and if he will make a statement.
The Prime Minister: None.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister if he will place in the Library a copy of the memorandum for No. 10 Downing street in 1989 adducing the reasons why Her Majesty's Government would not allow the public inquiry into the Lockerbie crime; and at what level the decision on the public inquiry was taken.
The Prime Minister: It is not usual practice to place internal Government correspondence in the Library. I have nothing further to add to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Linlithgow on 10 January, Official Report, column 20.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister pursuant to his letter of 30 August 1994 to the hon. Member for Linlithgow what examination has taken place of the Toshiba and Helsinki warnings in relation to Lockerbie since the fatal accident inquiry.
The Prime Minister: The fatal accident inquiry, which took place 22 months after the disaster, examined both warnings in some detail. In his determination, the Sheriff Principal concluded that the so-called Toshiba warning was not relevant to the circumstances of the deaths and that the so -called Helsinki warning lacked credibility. It has therefore not been considered necessary to conduct further examinations into these.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister what representations Her Majesty's Government have had from the German Government about their interrogation of Edwin Bolliers's Statsi control and the sale of timing devices to the Statsi.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister if he will discuss the implications with President Clinton of the FBI briefing paper regarding Iranian links and baggage being unloaded on Air Malta 180 destination Frankfurt airport.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister (1) if British authorities have interviewed Marwin Khreesat, a bomb maker, briefly detained and then released in Neuss, Germany;
(2) if he will put the transcript of the interview with Mr. Ghandanfar and Mr. Dalkamouni in the Library.
The Prime Minister: As the hon. Gentleman well knows, it would be wrong to reveal details of the evidence in a criminal case while proceedings are pending.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister if he will ask Chancellor Kohl the reasons why in October 1988 the Verfassungschu tz released certain Palestinians and their bomb-making equipment.
The Prime Minister: The release of detainees from German prisons is a matter entirely for the German authorities.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister if he will discuss with Chancellor Kohl the prima facie evidence that a German-based terrorist organisation used its knowledge of a covert United States drugs operation to switch an unaccompanied bag containing drugs with an identical bag containing a bomb which destroyed Pan Am Flight 103.
The Prime Minister: The allegation has been examined. No evidence has been found to support it.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister what representations he has received from Lockerbie victims' families regarding information conveyed to them by
members of the United States commission about the extent of the information available to United States and United Kingdom Governments and the probability of its publication; what elements of the United States commission's findings support the families' version; and if he will place in the Library the United Kingdom responses to these findings.
The Prime Minister: I have recently received a letter from the family of a Lockerbie victim which referred to the United States President's commission on aviation security and terrorism. A copy of the commission's report, dated May 1990 will be placed in the Library.
Mr. Dalyell: To ask the Prime Minister what assessment Her Majesty's Government has made of the role of Khaled Jaafar, a Lebanese victim of the Lockerbie bombing.

Biden Warned To Stand Down On Air Marshal Shocker
(NewsGlobal.com)- In a letter to Homeland Security last week, the president of the Air Marshal National Council warned that the Biden administration's policy to deploy air marshals to the southern border is putting the nation's air travel at risk.
In recent weeks, federal marshals have been diverted from traveling covertly on flights to assess and monitor terror threats to lend assistance with the flood of illegal aliens pouring across Biden's wide-open southern border.
In his letter, Air Marshal National Council president David Londo warned that the policy redirecting air marshals to the southern border "is extremely concerning" given recent incidents of violence that have occurred on US flights.
Londo warned administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, that many air marshals are refusing to go to the southern border.
Air Marshal National Council member Sonja Lobosco told Fox News that there have been "numerous incidents" on domestic flights in recent weeks, including a "level 4 threat" aboard a Southwest Airlines flight last week where a passenger attempted to breach the cockpit.
She said her message to President Biden is "Let's stop another 9/11." She said the administration must stop taking air marshals out of the sky "and let us do the job that we were trained to do."
Lobosco told Fox that the council has not heard back from the Biden administration since sending the letter.
In mid-November, a 41-year-old Utah man was arrested after he held a straight razor to the throat of another passenger on a flight from New York to Salt Lake City.
In early November, a Frontier Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Tamp was forced to make an emergency landing in Atlanta after a passenger threatened his fellow passengers with a box cutter.
In both instances, the men cleared airport security with their weapons.
Homeland Security is expected to deploy more air marshals to the border in Texas, Arizona, and California in the coming weeks.

The way of Rome
Joshua Puls
Claudio Maria Betti does not want to belong to anybody, he says. Not to the Left, not to the Right. It shows.
Betti was in Australia in February, as the United States and Australia began to marshal forces in the Gulf. Iraq's deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz, had been in Rome to see the Pope. The Pope's envoys had carried pleas for peace to the East and to the West: Etchegaray to Baghdad and Laghi to Washington.
With a tall, imposing figure and a deep smoker's voice, Claudio Betti's presence, energy and good humour belies the gravity of his mission. Since 1998 Betti has been the Director for Special Operations for Rome's Sant'Egidio Community and is personal assistant to the founder and president, Professor Andrea Riccardi. Betti's CV reads as a chronicle of global peacekeeping for the last 20 years: Lebanon, Mozambique, Iraq, Algeria, Guatemala, Burundi, Kosovo and Serbia.
Riccardi began the Community of Sant'Egidio in Rome in 1968, in the renewing spirit of the Second Vatican Council, and Betti joined shortly afterwards. At that time, brokering international peace deals was probably the farthest thing from Riccardi's vision or Betti's plans.
Riccardi and his small group of high school students began with visits to the slums on the outskirts of Rome. The next step was an afternoon school for children. They founded a community which now, 35 years later, has 40,000 members in more than 60 countries. The Church of Sant'Egidio in Rome's Trastevere district is still the administrative and spiritual home of the movement.
Why has Sant'Egidio thriven when so many other peace movements have failed? It is the poor, Betti says, that have saved them 'from becoming one of those ideological entities, which sooner or later lose their reason for existing'. One quickly discerns in Betti a typically Italian suspicion of ideologues.
When Betti joined the community, the first thing he was asked to do was to help a child with his homework. Twenty years later he was brokering peace in Mozambique: 'in a very Roman way—by flattering, by shouting.' The people of Sant'Egidio persuaded the Mozambique government to engage in talks with rebels. They then persuaded the rebels to talk to the government. Betti and his colleagues intended simply to bring the factions to the table. Someone else would take over the mediation. No-one did, and Sant'Egidio was 'stuck with a process'. After 27 months of negotiations, the parties established a peace that is still holding after ten years.
Betti's answer to Saddam Hussein is a pragmatic one. Bring soldiers to the region, and then invite the Iraqis to the table. 'Say—we are ready to fight, but we don't like war.' According to Betti, Saddam Hussein had to be given a reasonable way to leave. He was cornered, with no way out. 'You know that wherever you go you're going to be hit. But in a situation of dialogue, everything is possible.' Is brinkmanship always the answer? 'Not in general, but in this case especially.' Troops had to be deployed, he believes, otherwise the American people would not be satisfied. 'Rhetoric has a life of its own,' he says, referring to a 'mentality of revenge'. 'They have to prove to the world that they're the strongest. I think the strong man is the one who sits at the table.
I'm not against the military as such, as long as they don't shoot.'
Betti has little confidence in the United Nations, who are 'prisoners of their own structures, of their own
ideologies'. The UN structure, he believes, is 'an immense juggernaut that feeds itself'. Opposed to the power of veto in the Security Council, he points out that it leaves no possibility of sanctions against the powerful. 'The UN can only sanction the poor and the weak.' According to Betti, 'sanctions are never an answer', serving only to strengthen the government in power. 'They are totally useless. They only touch the poor. Very cruel.' Betti repeats several times that war is the mother of all poverty. He adds that poverty is also the mother of a lot of wars.
When the Pope received the Sant'Egidio Community leaders to mark their 35th anniversary, he exhorted them not to 'be hindered by acts of terrorism or by the threats that are gathering on the horizon. We must not be resigned as if war were inevitable'. Short of a miracle, war was indeed inevitable. Betti's only hope now was that, even though it might be too late for Iraq, 'we may be able to lay the foundation for a different understanding of war in the future'.
Betti looks to a day when war will be abolished as a means to solve international conflict. For those who would dismiss this as fanciful, he invokes the Italian activist priest Luigi Sturzo. Sturzo reminded his detractors that it was once said that slavery would never be abolished. Betti, like Sturzo, believes passionately that peace and justice are possible. But he is not encouraged by the signs. 'During the Cold War, everybody was talking about nuclear disarmament. Today, nobody talks about it any more. It almost assumes that it might happen. So I'm really scared.'
John Paul II has spoken and written a lot about peace and justice, most recently in relation to Iraq. But those who preach the message of justice do not always cite Rome as their inspiration, even as their ally. The Sant'Egidio Community, however, places itself squarely in the heart of the Church. This is part of its paradox: a spirit of renewal deeply immersed in the tradition.
