'A LUTA CONTINUA' (in English: the struggle continues) was the rallying cry of Africans fighting against Portuguese colonial rule in Mozambique. It originated during the armed struggle led by Dr. Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane, first president of the FRELIMO Liberation Front in the war for independence, who said, "We fight together, and together we rebuild and we recreate our country, producing a new reality – a New Mozambique, United and Freed. The struggle continues!" Following Mondlane's assassination in 1969, Africans continued to rally around this slogan under the successive leadership of Samora Machel who went on to become the first president of an independent Mozambique in 1975. A luta continua is the unofficial national motto of Mozambique where the colonial language of Portuguese remains official.
A Luta Continua is the title of a song popularized by South African singer and activist, Zenzile Miriam Makeba – who is fondly referred to as Mama Africa. The song was written for Makeba by her daughter Bongi – from "Sibongile" (meaning "we are grateful") – after she attended Mozambique's 1975 independence ceremony.
By the late 1950s Makeba had achieved musical fame in South Africa, and her appearance in the 1959 documentary film Come Back, Africa attracted the interest of Harry Belafonte and others in America. Her singing and recording career reached new levels of success in the United States, where she introduced Xhosa and Zulu songs to Western audiences. Makeba's activism included support of Kenya's independence from British colonial rule, whereafter she and Belafonte became VIP performers at the Independence Day celebrations at the invitation of President Jomo Kenyatta.
Makeba was the only performer at the meeting in Addis Ababa that led to the formation of the Organization for African Unity. She also testified before the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid, asking for economic sanctions and an arms embargo against South Africa's National Party government. This activity, along with the increasingly political content of her music caused the apartheid government in South Africa to revoke Makeba's passport and ban her music, whereafter she lived in exile for 3 decades. In 1964 she married trumpeter Hugh Masekela, a fellow South African in exile and protégé of Harry Belafonte. Masekela wrote the protest song Makeba performed entitled Soweto Blues about the 1976 uprising in Soweto.
The 1960s saw Makeba's involvement with Civil Rights, anti-apartheid, Black Consciousness, and Black Power movements grow. She married Black nationalist Stokely Carmichael [Kwame Toure] in 1968 (divorced 1979) who relocated with her to Guinea in West Africa. Encouraged by Nelson Mandela who had just been released from his 27-year imprisonment by South Africa's apartheid regime, Mama Africa returned and performed in her home country for the first time since her exile in 1991.
Known fondly as "Aunty Dorothy," Dorothy Masuka is often credited with composing one of Miriam Makeba's most well-renowned songs entitled Pata Pata. The two songstresses were contemporaries, Masuka being born in neighboring Zimbabwe [then Rhodesia] in 1935, about three years later than Makeba, before emigrating to South Africa at the age of 12. Masuka spoke of the spiritual sources of her musical inspiration that often came in dreams from an early age, one of whom was her maternal grandmother, a sangoma [a respected traditional healer]. From the start of her career, Masuka endeared herself to a wide audience but the political content of her compositions such as Lumumba (of Congo) and Dr. Malan (an anti-apartheid song) led to her exile following the apartheid government's ban over her recordings. Masuka continued to campaign through song for African liberation during her exile in Malawi and Tanzania, inspiring many including Makeba. Her work entitled Mzilikazi paid tribute to one of Emperor Shaka Zulu's greatest warriors who founded the Ndebele people of Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Please make sure to SAVE THE DATE and attend on Saturday, April 30th, 10 a.m.
Once every four years, the Massachusetts Republican voters elect Delegates to the Republican National Convention.
37-35 vote to keep the caucuses.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, these delegates will set the rules for the 2020 Presidential Nomination Process.
The Massachusetts Liberty Movement has a terrific slate of grassroots activists prepared to invest their own time, talent, and treasure to travel to the RNC in Cleveland – but we need your help on Saturday, April 30th!
10 a.m., listen to some two-minute speeches by candidates, and then vote on RNC delegates and alternates. The process takes well less than two hours, and happens only once every four years. Children are welcome to attend, but only registered Republicans as of Feb. 10th, 2016 are eligible to vote.
To save our volunteers time on phone calls to Liberty supporters, it's helpful if you email me if you plan to attend. Plus, I can verify your caucus location.
In all seriousness, two hours at a Saturday morning caucus is the most important action an activist can perform – and the reality is, without a strong caucus turnout on April 30th, there will likely be no caucus in 2020.


Another unknown cat. This time it was an orange tabby that was stuck about 45 feet high in a backyard and he had been there for 6 days. The neighbors had been hearing him calling for a few days before they finally found him. No one knew the cat, if he belonged to anyone or if he was tame or feral, but Tara, one of the neighbors, called me and offered to take responsibility for the cat if I could rescue it.
At first I was encouraged by what I found. The cat's behavior and vocalizations gave the impression that he was tame and eager for human help. In fact, I was so sure that he would be cooperative, that I did not even unload my rescue pole or net. When I began climbing the tree, however, his demeanor changed. Now he was afraid, and he perched about 15 feet out on a long branch.
I could have walked out on the branch toward him since it was large enough, and I had good places to tie some support ropes over it. But that would have just given him more reason to be afraid, and he would have gone even farther out on the limb making the rescue more difficult. Instead, I wanted him to see me as a friend and to come to me. The best way to do that is to offer him some food.
I put some food on the end of a long handled feeder and held it out to him so that he could eat from it while feeling a safe distance from me. He was interested in the food, but he took a long time to go to it. My plan was to entice him closer to me by gradually pulling the food closer to me as he ate, but he was too cautious for that. When he first reached the food, he slowly took a mouthful of food and quickly pulled back away to eat it. He came back for a few more trips, and while I did manage to get him to come a little closer, each time he would get a mouthful and retreat to eat. After a few trips like this, he appeared to be satisfied with what he had eaten and was not motivated to get any more. Food was no longer a motivation for him, and he seemed content to just sit there a lot longer. He had won this battle, so it was time for me to advance to the next level.
I called for the rescue pole. After I pulled it up to me and got myself properly positioned, I practiced the maneuver to make sure I was ready. He was resting on the branch about 11 feet away from me at this point, so I reached out just about as far as I could and tried to position the noose around his head and under his front legs. He was not disturbed by this at all. He stood up, which is what I wanted, and stepped through the noose just the way I wanted. As I started to tighten the noose around his upper chest, he quickly stepped his back legs through the noose and was free of the noose altogether. At this point, the most surprising thing happened. While I was berating myself for missing my chance to snare him, he decided to walk quite calmly all the way down the branch to me. He stopped in front of me, and I reached my hand down for him to sniff. Then he let me touch him. He was ready for some loving.
I happily put the rescue pole away and spent some more time giving him some loving. Then I got the food back out for him, let him sniff it, and then put the food in the back of the carrier while he was watching. He calmly walked on into the carrier while I gave him some more back scratches. I closed the door and prepared to bring him down.
There's just no predicting cats.
When I brought him down, Tara was waiting for him. She wanted to keep the cat until the owner could be found. If no owner was found, she was ready to adopt him herself. We took him over to her house to release him in a bathroom where she had already prepared a bed with a warm electric blanket for him. It is rare that I get to see my rescued cats released and even more rare for me to be the one to release them, but because I wanted to scan the cat for a microchip and the bathroom was small, this time, at least, I had the honor and pleasure of releasing him.
He first scanned the room to make sure he was safe, and then he was ready for some serious loving. He vigorously rubbed against my legs and hands back and forth, over and over, as if to say, "Thank you," and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was such a joy for me to experience that this time, and I thank Tara for allowing me that reward.
I could not find a microchip, but Tara had planned to alert all the neighbors to see if he belonged to any of them. I think she is not so secretly hoping that no one claims him, because I think she wants to keep him for herself and her girls. When her girls came home from school, they were happy to see him, and they have already given him a name. They named him Simon, so that is what I will call him too. Tara sent this picture of him after he finally settled down.
I don't know why, but I have no video of my attempt to snare him with the rescue pole. I had turned the camera on and off a few times because he was taking so long to do anything, and we spent a good bit of time just getting used to each other. But I thought I had turned it back on for the rescue pole. Apparently not. That scene is mysteriously missing.

In corporate law, the directors register is a list of the directors elected by the shareholders, generally stored in the company's minute book.  By law, companies are required to keep this list up to date to remove those directors who are deceased or resign, and to add those who have been elected by the shareholders. However, the register must also list any person who had been a director indefinitely.  The record must indicate the dates a director started and stopped holding office. As directors carry certain personal legal obligations to a corporation (for example, being responsible for any money held in trust for another person, e.g. sales taxes not remitted to a government), those seeking recourse against directors are allowed to rely on the directors register as proof that a director held office on any particular day.

In many jurisdictions, corporations are required to keep the list of directors up to date with the corporate affairs office where the corpororation was incorporated. This is so that both government agencies and interested third parties may be aware of the name and address of directors (for example, in order to serve a statement of claim on the corporation).

Publicly traded corporations are usually required to notify the appropriate securities and exchange commission about any change to their directors register.

Overweight people are not only a burden on the NHS but on their own knees.
There has been a surge of 150% in knee replacement surgery with more than 9,500 people, including teenagers having knee replacement surgery last year because their joints could not cope with their weight, according to new NHS figures. And the cost to the NHS of repairing crumbling knees over a 4-year period is estimated at around £50 million.
Obesity costs the NHS £5.1 billion each year with 40,000 people dying as a result of being overweight or obese.
Now one in 10 patients given new knees is obese, up from one in 20 just four years ago. In 2009-10, there were 3,787 operations carried out in England and Wales where obesity was listed as a main or secondary diagnosis.
But by 2012-13, the number had leapt to 9,438, figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) reveal.
Over the last four years there have been a total of 28,000 cases where obesity was regarded as a major trigger for knee replacements. It includes one boy aged between 10 and 14 who went under the knife in 2010-11.
Also in the last four years, knee replacements have been carried out on two boys and two girls aged 15-19.
The majority of knee operations are carried out on older people, aged 60+ but recently there has been a tripling of knee replacements among obese under-40s.
Each knee replacement operation costs around £5,500, and should last for around 15 to 20 years. But the obese may have to have more than one replacement because of the strain caused by weight.
A knee replacement is classed as 'major surgery' by the NHS and is only offered after other treatments, such as physiotherapy or steroid injections have failed to help.

One third of overweight women say they feel they have been treated differently as a result of their weight, according to new survey.
Nearly half (47%) of British women say they find themselves faced with endless teasing, 43% believe that others deem them to be lazy while 28% say they have actually been excluded from a social occasion – all because of their size.
The research by XLS-Medical Fat Binder, a new naturally derived, clinically proven weight loss aid, also found that 1 in 10 say not having a 'healthy figure' has meant they have missed out on job roles and a fifth said people consider them to be unintelligent.
Helen Lederer, one of Britain's best known comedy character actresses and comedy writers, who turns 58 this month, can identify with this and is concerned that her profession will not accept her being old and fat!
Eliise Lindsay, Celebrity Personal Trainer and Fitness Advisor to the XLS-Medical weight management programme comments: "This research has shown that there are some real prejudices against people who don't have the stereotypical perfect figure. We are all different shapes and sizes and there's no one perfect size. What is important is for people to feel happy and comfortable with their bodies. By following a healthy balanced diet and taking regular exercise people will find themselves getting in shape without any unnecessary pressure," adds Eliise.
To support dieters on their weight loss journey, the 12 week XLS-Medical weight management programme, 123 Hellome, provides a wealth of advice and exercise tips as well as tools such as diet and exercise trackers.
Helen Lederer is one of Britain's one of Britain's best known comedy character actresses and comedy writers, most recognised for her role as the dippy Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous. She is also an author and broadcaster.
Scientists have discovered that an African seed can help weightloss in older adults even if they don't diet.
Irvingia gabonensis has demonstrated an average weight loss of 28 pounds in 10 weeks in human clinical trials. It also lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol and levels of blood fats.
The herb works on four causes of weightgain by reducing carbohydrate absorption, shrinks fat cells, reduces the amount of sugar in the blood and increases levels of the hormone leptin which helps the brain shut off appetite.
The herb has been made into a vegetarian supplement which encourages weightloss by taking just two tablets a day.
1. Inhibiting amylase, the digestive enzyme that coverts starch to sugar in the body – thereby reducing the amount of carbohydrate absorbed.
3. It suppresses the fat-converting enzyme, glylcerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase – this converts sugar to fat in the body.
4. It lowers levels of a substance called C-reactive protein (CRP) in fat cells which encourages levels of the appeite suppressant hormone Leptin.
London: UK health watchdogs have criticised the claims for a bottle of water which claims to help weightloss.
Skinny Water, a flavoured spring water, sold in Tesco, WH Smith and Superdrug, contains a cocktail of nutrients which the manufacturer claims to suppress hunger and fight fat.
UK Food Standards Agency say that the claims for the drink are groundless and that steps are being the results of proven medical trials.
iSkinny Water, which costs 99p, contains hunger-suppressing nutrients such as L-Carnitine and Chromium, which the labelling says reduces sugar cravings and improves the body's ability to burn fat. The eye-catching label says the drink is a "slimming aid", words printed suggestively under a measuring tape.
It states Skinny Water "has been enhanced with a unique combination of ingredients to help you lose weight… suppress appetite, block carbohydrates from converting into fat and increase fat burning".
Many of us can't even bring ourselves to say the word 'colon' in public, yet a healthy digestive tract could be the key to long life and, far from being a dirty word, if you are going to look after just one bit of your body, make sure its your colon, because that takes care of everything else.
Sura Detox offers week long retreats once a month at its beautiful retreat in the heart of rural Devon. Each retreat takes the form of a juice or water diet and twice daily colonics.
Fasting gives your body the chance to naturally purge itself of its toxins, as it redirects the energy normally required for digestion, and focuses upon purifying itself. The general program and frequent colonics ensure the thorough elimination of waste, so that yo! ur body has the utmost opportunity for restoration.
All Sura Detox programmes are supported by powerful nutritional talks to encourage visitors to adopt healthier eating patterns, as well as complementary therapies such as yoga, massage and homeopathy.
Results from Sura Detox speak for themselves. Many visitors find that lifetime ailments such as arthritis and asthma are substantially improved, and the effects of the retreat itself, actually result in a feeling of mental cleansing too.
Sura Detox retreats are held once a month in Devon. For more information on the retreats, visit www.suradetox.com or call 08456 343 895.
London: A UK company is testing the use of hoodia, a cactus extract that stems hunger pangs, in diet foods.
The trial is being carried out by Phytopharm who will market the products, such as margarine and drinks, with Unilever.
Extracts made from the Hoodia gordonii plant are already a popular dietary supplement and was originally used by Kalahari bushmen of Africa to stave off hunger while on hunting trips.
Cambridge-based Phytopharm plans year-long clinical trials to see if volunteers given the extract in foods find their hunger pangs disappear.
Tests on rats have already found that they loose their appetite when given the active ingredient. 'We are very excited so far at the success of the project and will take it from here,' he said.
New York: Doctors at Columbia University Medical Centre believe they have discovered why some dieters find it difficult to maintain weightloss and pile the pounds back on. A hormone called leptin, which regulates the metabolism may be responsible.
Leptin levels fall when people diet making it increasingly harder to burn off calories, said the findings published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Dr Michael Rosenbaum, who led the research believes the findings could lead to a new diet drug containing leptin.
He said that leptin helps the body believe it is happy with a lower weight and help dieters keep off the pounds.
The research examined the reactions of 10 healthy men and women. As they lost weight their leptin levels fell. They were given leptin and maintained their weightloss.
In previous studies it has been found that leptin acts as an appetite suppressant. Levels also fall if we do not get enough sleep making us want to eat more.

Claude Vonstroke Takes Online Course
Recently we were honoured to have a certain Barclay Crenshaw take an course at Point Blank Online. For those of you thinking who??...well, when the sun goes down and the bass goes up Barclay prefers to go by the name…Claude Vonstroke! That's right, the head honcho of two of electronic music's most celebrated labels, Dirtybird and Mothership, as well as the brains behind a raft of critically acclaimed releases including 'Who's Afraid of Detroit' – one of the biggest underground club hits of the last decade.
The fact that a man with such credentials was seeking out further training just goes to show that one of the keys to success in the music industry is to acknowledge that there is always more to learn and to have a thirst to attain that knowledge. We are proud that he considered Point Blank the best place to do so… Maybe he could teach us a trick or two in return!!
This is what he had to say about his experience:
"I took one of the Ableton classes to learn some new chops without having to read boring manuals. As compared to some other generic online training I was doing for Reason 5 the Point Blank DVR and webpage method was WAY better because we were talking about dance music the whole time and learning things we would actually use instead of just a list of software features. The class was fantastic, especially because it was geared towards modern music and teaching things we all want to know better like how to make bass sound good."
We can't wait for his upcoming releases to hear how he puts his Point Blank training to use!
For a taster of his quality output we recommend you check out his latest album Bird Brain and the 5 Years of Dirtybird compilation.

Danny Rampling Online Masterclass in 2011
Danny Rampling has been a stalwart of the UK dance music scene pretty much from day dot. Along with the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway, he is credited as one of the group of DJs who brought the Balearic rave scene back to these shores from Ibiza in 1987. Since then his production and DJ career has gone from strength to strength having promoted his own seminal night 'Shoom' before going on to hold down long-running prime time slots on Kiss FM and BBC Radio 1, as well as remix many UK and international artists.
So we were absolutely delighted to hear that Danny has endorsed Point Blank in his book, 'Everything you Need to Know About DJing and Success'. He said "Point Blank is one of the best-known and authoritative DJ and music production audio schools in the UK".
The book is not only a comprehensive guide to the technical aspects of DJing but also how to achieve success from a business and psychological perspective, whatever your chosen life path may be. It is an inspiring read and will undoubtedly give you the confidence and know-how to make that progression from bedroom DJ to professional. We highly recommend you pick up a copy available at almost half price here. Watch Danny talking about his book in the video below:
We are also very excited to announce that Danny will be giving an live online music industry masterclass through our Livestream channel in early 2011 so keep your eyes peeled for more news on that.

THE STARS OF 2010
Point Blank London celebrate yet another stellar year of music
2010 has been yet another stellar year for the UK Music Industry. For Point Blank London, 2010 has been a year of forging closer relationships with the music industry, both in the UK and globally and of continued growth of their Online School which saw a staggering 50% increase in size: over 2000 students studying with Point Blank online throughout the year. Whilst 2011 is set to be even bigger and better, the team are taking a moment to reflect on certain noteworthy highlights of 2010.
Globally, Point Blank Online now has students from over 50 different countries, with their Online School offering more than 100 courses available throughout the year. This service is giving students from far-reaching corners of the world the opportunity to work with a roll-call of renowned UK industry figures and tap into the magic of that UK sound.
At Point Blank's London college site, the industry collaborations continued. The year got off to a bounding start when producer Paul Epworth - still glowing from his Brits' win for Florence and the Machine's Lungs Album - gave a guest lecture on how to be a successful music producer. Other guest lecturers during the year included Radio One's Annie Mac, and Beyonce and Leona Lewis remixer - and former Point Blank student - Gareth Wynn to name a few.
Throughout this year, Point Blank's Masterclass series has continued to shine. In May, Point Blank tutor Jonny Miller hosted an impressive Production Masterclass at the Rio Music Conference in Brazil. Then in July students were privileged to visit Robbie Williams' producer Guy Chambers at his London studio where he held an exclusive Songwriting Masterclass and gave insider tips on how to make that elusive yet significant all-time classic hit. Other Masterclasses have included Kylie and JZ producer Tommy D and producer vocalist and DJ Ben Westbeech (aka Breach).
This year, the vocational strength of Point Blank's courses was proven yet again with former students Des McGouran(aka Detboi) releasing his latest EP on Herve's Cheap Thrills label and DJing all over the world, and Lucy Monkman (aka Monki) starting her daytime show on RINSE FM. And with endorsements from award winning producers Mark Ronson, Louie Vega and DJ Pete Tong amongst others, new students can be confident that their study will be a worthwhile long-term investment.

Do's and Dont's Novel Coronavirus
Feb 6, 2020 by Dr. Madhav Prabhu Feb 6, 2020 Leave a Comment
by Dr.Madhav Prabhu
Concerns are now being raised about a new global epidemic that is knocking at our doorsteps the coronavirus infection. With India recording our first few confirmed cases and many more suspects we can no longer ignore this threat.
The recent epidemic which originated in Wuhan China was first recorded in December 2019 and due to Chinese policy was then ignored or rather downplayed but the authorities. Soon though it came to light that this was not just an ordinary virus but a novel one. Let us first understand what a novel virus is.
We have often heard the saying a known enemy is better, similarly with viruses a known virus is better to handle. A novel virus is one that has previously not caused infections in humans, whose genetic sequence is unknown and not much information is available about its epidemiology.
The Coronavirus in question is an RNA virus named as 2019 nCOV and belongs to the genus Betacoronavirus, subgenus Sarbecovirus. The virus was first discovered in humans who worked and handled seafood in the fish markets of Wuhan. The subgenus subtype is common in bats so that source of spread cannot be ruled out.
Every viral family has viruses that are specific to a species, for example, the influenza virus has strains that can affect pigs, birds and so on and hence called porcine or avian. Normally they do not breach the species barrier and stay in their own species. The problems start when there is contact between species, so when human virus comes in contact with bat virus, they undergo changes that we call mutations and thus a new virus is produced which can cross species barriers and since the species is never exposed to it, it will cause serious manifestations and hence the name novel. A similar story seems to be the case with 2019 n COV.
So being a novel virus, there is absolutely no memory that the body's immunity has against this virus, thus like an unknown enemy, we do not know the strategy this virus will adopt and nothing can stop it from wreaking havoc. Also since we never came across this virus, there is no vaccine against it a process which takes roughly their years once the genetic sequence is known
Now coming to the most important problem, since 2019 nCOV is a new virus we do not know what its incubation period is. The incubation period of a virus is the time from which the patient acquires the virus to the point when symptoms first appear. For 2019 nCOV the incubation period is from two to four weeks, mostly fourteen days. That means the patient can be harboring the virus and yet be completely asymptomatic for two to three weeks, during which he is capable of transmitting this virus to others.
Imagine the consequences of this, somebody sitting next to you may transmit the virus to you yet both of you may not know that this has happened.
This is why the world community is worried. The solution that countries usually adopt is to keep the patient in a closed setting till the incubation period is over, this is called quarantine.
However, as it is apparent from above they may already be patients who have entered the country with a virus in incubation since December 2019. India is such a country that, we may not know what the patient died of and the death may never be reported.
The problem, however, does not stop here, there is a social media campaign to label any and every source as a mode of spreading the virus, but there are only a few verified. The virus usually spreads by aerosols which are tiny droplets that are suspended in air while you sneeze or cough when a person closes by inhales these droplets before they fall he can acquire the infection.
The other route suspected is thorough feces because the virus is shed in stools. There is also a twist in the story, the virus is also spread by fomites, these fomites are nothing but inanimate objects which the patient touches after touching his nose or on surfaces he has coughed on. The virus stays on the object for up to twenty-four hours or even more in moist surfaces like carpets. When another person touches this object and takes it to his nose or eyes the virus is spread to him. Thus you make not have even seen the person who has transmitted the virus to you as he may have left it there hours before. That's why never take your hands to your face without washing them.
Looking at India we are in a perfect setting for the virus to spread, we don't keep travel records, the disease is treated by everyone including housewives, quacks and shop keepers, there is no reporting of diseases and there is no accountability.
We are also not equipped to handle a health emergency as evidenced by the epidemics of JE which kills innocent children every year in the north. So the best way out would be to take care of yourself and prevent the spread of the virus. Certain universal precautions need to be taken especially in social interactions and personal hygiene.
So what do we do to prevent the virus from spreading?
First, as of now human to human contact is the only way of the virus spreading, that too through droplets and possibly through stools. So important is to stay away from exposure, for this you should know which patient is likely to have an infection. Most of the patients present like flu. Fever, cough, breathlessness, and body ache are the cardinal symptoms of the disease, sometimes expectoration and diarrhea are also possible, these symptoms are common for many diseases especially in winters. Sometimes a patient can develop severe manifestations in the form of pneumonia and these are the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, who may succumb to the disease.
Now knowing how the patients present and knowing the mode of transmission the ways to protect yourself would be obvious.
Stay at least one meter that's three feet away from a patient who has the above symptoms, so as to avoid droplets.
A mask usually an N90 would be an additional precaution. Since you cannot avoid fomites make it a habit not to bring your hands to your nose, mouth or eyes if you have touched likely surfaces.
Carry an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and use it every time you are likely to touch your face.
Wash your hands thoroughly before you eat your food.
A seven-step hand wash technique is advocated by doctors for cleaning hands with soap.
Avoid contact with sick animals and wash hands every time you visit a meat market or fish market.
If you eat non-veg food, cook the meat well and eat boiled and not barbeque meat if possible.
Government of India Department of Ayush has issued an advisory with a role for traditional medicines, but these are debatable and should not make you complacent with universal preventive measures.
If you develop symptoms suggestive of infection, do not panic, keep yourself warm, hydrate yourself, take complete rest and keep yourself indoors. Take help immediately from a qualified medical practitioner and do not delay treatment. Take care of yourself, be very careful but do not be scared and do not panic. Together we can keep ourselves and our country safe.

As one of the largest providers of Special Religious Education (SRE) in NSW public schools, the Catholic Church welcomes the findings of the 2015 Independent Review of Special Religious Education and Special Education in Ethics (SEE) in New South Wales Government schools. The findings continue to affirm the important place of SRE and SEE in public education.
The Catholic Church has taught religious education in public schools for over 150 years and currently delivers Special Religious Education to over 90,000 Catholic students in public schools with a volunteer workforce of over 5,000 authorised and trained SRE teachers.
We will continue to work in partnership with the Department of Education under the direction of the Minister around the policy and procedures for SRE and SEE.
We look forward to working collaboratively with Approved SRE Providers of all faiths, particularly in the areas of training and curriculum to further strengthen SRE and SEE in a multi-cultural and multi-faith environment.
In NSW, the Catholic Church supports the rights of all parents to choose Special Religious Education or Special Education in Ethics, or neither, as part of a holistic approach to the education of their children.
In the Diocese of Parramatta – the Church of Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains – we have 1,000 volunteer SRE teachers going into 190 State primary and secondary schools teaching over 18,000 students from Catholic families who choose SRE.
With thanks to Catholic Conference of Religious Educators in State Schools (CCRESS).

The Miss Universe 2016 pageant will be broadcast live from Manila tomorrow (local time), the first from the Philippines since 1994, and as the country has always been pageant-crazy, this year's show is doubly exciting for Pinoys.
As with any enthusiast, I have my own personal picks. After seeing the social media pictures and clips as well as the preliminaries that streamed live last Thursday, I have tried my best to determine who I feel should be part of the Top 12. It was a pretty difficult task, really, as there are a lot of fierce and fabulous contenders, so I went and chose 16 ladies any of whom I think deserve to make it to the Top 12 (well, Top 13 since it's been confirmed that the winner of online voting will be included as a 13th candidate rather than be among the twelve).
I am strongly supportive of Miss Brazil and Miss Thailand. Both are unique and would breathe life into the role with a different spin. I would love it if either one of them won. Raissa Santana (Brazil) has a fierce energy combined with a positive personality. Chalita Suansane (Thailand) has such a regal aura to her that conveys such modern class while retaining a lovely exotic Asian-ness. I find it hard to really choose between them.
I like Miss Venezuela's kabaklaan moves. She's pretty, although I can't get over her Titas of Caracas impact. That, and the fact that there are rumors about bad attitude and character. However, like it or not, she's likely a shoo-in.
I also used to be an ultra-fan of Miss Colombia, such a beauty, but she turned me off (and lots of Filipinos and Mexicans) with that Instragram thing that revealed she may have an attitude problem, too. She may still make it to the Top 12, but I'm iffy about her now. Plus, why give Ariadna Gutierrez a chance to be smug?
Of course, I would also want Miss Philippines to win – that's a given – but the reality is that odds are stacked against her being a possibly back-to-back and hometown win, a combo that I believe has never happened. Still, who knows? She's still quite gorgeous, if lacking in the articulation department.
Aside from Thailand and the Philippines, this year's Southeast Asian contingent is really killing it. Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and especially Indonesia are all palaban. It's practically an ASEAN summit. Hopefully, we dominate the finals; I think the last time Asians dominated the pageant may have been 1988 when Miss Thailand won. It's about time we made Asia the new Latin America when it comes to the pageant circuit.
I hope Miss Canada makes the Top 12. I find her really pretty, and making the cut will give those body-shaming detractors a great big middle finger.
It's also been over fourteen years since a European won in the form of my all-time favorite Miss Universe, Russia's Oxana Fedorova. And while Oxana will always be the real Miss Universe 2002 for me (Justine who?), since the Miss Universe Organization doesn't recognize officially dethroned/resigned titleholders, then the last European was in 1990 with Norway's Mona Grudt. This year, I feel Miss France may potentially end the Old World drought and blindside everyone as a dark horse who hasn't gotten much local media attention.
Meanwhile, despite my personal faves, I also do have this strange feeling that the winner may be someone whose country has never won the pageant (much like how it was in the prior pageants held in Manila – 1974's Miss Spain and 1994's Miss India). That would be awesome. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
In any case, in alphabetical order, here are my 16 faves (which includes alternates) whom I would personally want to make it to the Top 12 + 1.
Two ladies I contemplated including but decided to not to due to slots are Australia and Sierra Leone. The latter, in particular, may not be "traditional" Miss Universe material, but she has a following and has a striking look. That, and she has a good story behind her, and we know these pageants do love that, too. I may have dropped her, but she might be the true dark horse. She's also the first candidate from her country. Will she do a Mpule (Miss Universe 1999 from Botswana) and surprise us all?
But let it be noted that I took notice of these two women should they make it. Hahaha.

The Supreme Court collegium comprising of Chief Justice of India JS Khehar and four senior most Judges being Justice Dipak Misra, J Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi and M B Lokur recommended 51 names to be appointed as Judges in 10 different High Courts across the country. The list was considered after finalizing the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) for the appointment of the judges in the High Courts.
Nearly, 24 High Courts have more than 40% vacancy of which only 632 judges as against a sanctioned strength of 1,079, the collegium had a difficult time in deciding the names. These 51 names have been shortlisted from the original list having 90 names recommended by several High Courts collegium. The difficulty was triggered by Justice J Chelameswar, not being able to take part in the deliberations of meetings for deciding the names from March 20th to 29th but his views were recorded relating to the appointments.
Earlier, the Supreme Court collegium had never recommended the name of 51 judges at one go within 10days. Reportedly, the lion's share of 19 judges to be appointed to the Bombay High Court, nine names recommended for appointment of judges to High Court of Punjab and Haryana (vacancy of 39 judges), 6 names each for appointing judges to Patna High Court (24 vacancies) and Telangana and Andhra Pradesh High Court (34 vacancies), Four names each for the Delhi High Court (vacancy of 25 judges) and Chhattisgarh High Court (11 vacancies). Finally, 3 names for the Jammu & Kashmir High Court (vacancy of 8 judges) 2 appointments each for the Jharkhand High Court (12 vacancies) and Gauhati High Court (seven vacancies). The collegium has also requested to fill the vacancy in the state of Sikkim. Out of 51 judges, 20 are judicial officers and 30 are advocates.
In October, 2015, the Supreme Court has ordered the Centre to frame a new Memorandum of Procedure (MoP), after striking down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) for appointment of judges to Supreme Court and various High Courts. On March 10th, the collegium had rejected the recommendation of the Centre in which the Centre would have the power to reject a suggested name on the grounds of "national security". The suggestion of setting up of permanent secretariat to regulate the screening process of appointment and a three member non-collegium committee to look into the complaints against judges.
The recommendation of minimum age limit to be considered for appointment of Advocates as High Court Judges would be 45 years and maximum age limit being 55 years has been agreed upon. And also, for the District and Sessions Court's Judges the upper age limit will be 58 years and a half.

Q: Error installing Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio/MS SQL Server 2014/MS SQL Server Data Tools in Windows 10 I am facing the below errors when trying to install any type of MS SQL Server on Windows 10 operating system. There seem to be a common problem/error in all of the cases (i.e. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4027",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32") for which I could not find any workable solution in earlier related posts or other sites (quora, microsoft support etc). This is similar to iTunes installation error but the workaround for that particular solution did not solve my problem. Screenshots provided in the following arrangement:

*

*MS SQL Server Management Studio 2016

*MS Visual Studio 2015

A: Somehow, I have been able to solve the issue. THANKS 3N1GM4!! You did point me to the right direction! Fiddling a bit here and there solved the issue. Listing down the steps as reference to other users facing the same:

*

*Quoting 3N1GM4: "Go to C:\Windows\Installer and search for *.msi, then add the Comments column to the Explorer window and find the file for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable"

*Right click and uninstall

*Download vcredist_x86.exe

*Extract content of vcredist_x86.exe using command prompt, which will result to the VCREDI~3.EXE being extracted. Ref: (http://www.itninja.com/software/microsoft/visual-c-2005-redistributable/8-1662)

*Once again, extract VCREDI~3.EXE following the steps in above link, which will result to i) vcredis1.cab and ii) vcredist.msi being extracted.

*Now, run and install vcredist.msi

Note: Not sure if steps 5 & 6 were redundant but I went through with them anyway. Installing vcredist_x86 directly after step 3 may also solve the problem.
Once again, I would like to thank 3N1GM4 for this ingenuity!

The Courier N° 146 - July - Aug 1994 - Dossier The Private Sector - Country Reports : Eritrea , Chad (EC Courier, 1994, 104 p.)
(introduction...)
CTA- Bulettin
Aknowlegments
AFRICA-CARIBBEAN -PACIFIC - EUROPEAN UNION
Mauricio de Maria y Campos UNIDO Director-General
Heading UNIDO since April 1993, Mauricio de Maria y Campos - a former Vice-Minister for Industrial Development in Mexico - first of all had to oversee a complete overhaul of UNIDO's objectives, tasks and staffing, a difficult job which is now nearing completion. Known to be a critic of the ambitious yet disappointing First industrial Development Decade for Africa (IDDA I), in his interview with the Courier he pleads at the outset of IDDA II for a serious rethink of Africa's industrial development strategy. He also gives his views on how the private sector could try to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
ERITREA The ACP Group's newest member is a nation forged in battle. After 30 years of guerrilla war which went largely unobserved by the outside world, Eritrea drove the Ethiopian army out in 1991 and won international recognition as a sovereign state in May last year. Peace and stability reign, but the ax-fighters now in government face a new challenge: rebuilding a ruined economy. And famine is an ever present threat. Though the war is over, self-reliance is still the guiding principle.
Contrary to popular belief, the Republic of Chad is more than just a huge, poverty-stricken expanse of land, 1 280 000 square kiLomes in size and with a population of some six million souls. Our country report points to some aspects of its enormous economic potential - and to one of the main obstacles to real development: the absence of a state apparatus, and the ongoing war. But with democratisation under way and many Chadians apparently firmly committed to democratic change, hope is springing anew.
Whether part of a 'liberal' sea-change, or just a passing fashion, privatisation is sweeping across the globe. Between 1984 and 1991 the governments of a hundred countries - above all developing ones (particularly in South America and Africa) - have sold $250 billion-worth of public enterprises. And the key conclusion of many experts is that this process of economic liberalization and privatization in the productive sector needs to be stepped up. It is widely believed that private investment, whether internally generated, or coming from outside, is essential for the successful relaunch of the developing countries' economies. Following a brief resume of the impact of privatisation, the aim of our Dossier is to give a general analysis of the conditions for private sector participation in development.
ACP-EU Council of Ministers
Against the background of tremendous hope for southern Africa engendered by the successful transition of South Africa to majority rule, the 19th session of the ACP-KU Council of Ministers took place in Mbabane, Swaziland, from 18 to 20 May 1994. It examined progress in the implementation of the Conventions and formally launched negotiations for the mid-term review of LomV.


How Chit Fund Business it Works?
Typical chit funds work in various ways and there are additionally numerous scheming strategies filed by numerous private firms. The essential need of leading a "Chitty Business" is a collecting of poor individuals called subscribers. The manager - the organization or individual directing the chitty - unites these individuals and behaviors the chitty.
Manager is additionally the individual in charge of collecting the cash from subscribers, managing the sales and keeping records of follower. He is rewarded a settled sum (for the most part 5% of gross chitty sum) month to month for his endeavors; other than that the manager does not has a particular benefits, he is only a supporter of the chitty.

City Journal's 10 Blocks
How the Plastic Panic Hurts Us—and the Planet
Hosted by Brian C. Anderson
John Tierney joins Brian Anderson to discuss the campaign to ban the use of plastic products and the flawed logic behind the recycling movement—the subjects of Tierney's story, "The Perverse Panic over Plastic," from the Winter 2020 Issue of City Journal.
Hundreds of cities and eight states have outlawed or regulated single-use plastic bags. But according to Tierney, the plastic panic doesn't make sense. Plastic bags are the best environmental choice at the supermarket, not the worst, and cities that built expensive recycling programs—in the hopes of turning a profit on recycled products—have instead paid extra to get rid of their plastic waste, mostly by shipping it to Asian countries with low labor costs. However, the bans will likely continue as political leaders and private companies seek a renewed sense of moral superiority.
Conservation Beats Environmentalism
Bryce Carmony
American Conservatism is conserving America. Conserving we the people and the land on which we live. Democrats have used environmentalism to give a generation of young voters a feeling of purpose, but it is time for Conservatives to demonstrate how conservation is something superior. People will sometimes use the terms synonymously but there are profound differences between the tradition of conservation and the religion of environmentalism.
Specifics vs. Abstractions
Conservation is a practical tradition of managing specific resources with specific goals in mind. Conservation is measuring the populations of animals, the conditions of habitats, the accessibility and utility of land, and actively managing it with a specific plan. When a species is threatened or endangered we make a plan to bring them back to a stable population so that we can enjoy that species in our ecosystems and our communities. The Bald Eagle, The Grizzle Bear, The Gray Wolf, only a few successes of looking at specific objectives and taking sensible goals to achieve them.
Crystals the Color of Sweat and Blood
Midget Faded Rattlesnake
I was a minor rock hound — a rock pup, if you will — in my youth. Nothing serious, a small collection, only a few spectacular finds of my own, the rest either dull or store-bought. I liked crystals. But not as "wellness" aids. The folklore surrounding minerals, including their medicinal use, is part of their history. Still, I found myself mildly disappointed by the degree to which even geology shops treated the folklore as true.
Apparently, "wellness" claims for rocks have only gotten worse — er, I mean, more popular — since I was a young rock hound. Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, has gifted the world with Goop, like crystal-enhanced water bottles! Yoni eggs! (Warning: these eggs NSFW.) Rose quartz, with its soft pink hue, is particularly popular for "wellness." Fair-trade certification, which is supposed to guarantee humane treatment of workers, is also popular in wellness products. But — and it's a big but — most "wellness" crystals are far from fair trade. That pretty rose quartz is the color of sweat and blood.
Poor folk paid pennies to mine, in cramped, dangerous conditions, rocks that richer folk will sell for hundreds of dollars doesn't shock me. Terrible as these mining jobs are, people choose these jobs over the other available alternatives. But then, I'm usually of the attitude that there's no reason why bad conditions couldn't get worse, and that's not an attitude I'd expect the "wellness" crowd, which believes in "wellness," after all, to share. Even someone resigned, or callously indifferent, to human suffering might balk at the environmental damage wreaked by humanity's current appetite for crystalline "wellness." I have a rare stone in my wedding ring, but it's lab-created: I didn't find it appealing to molest tons of extra earth for one small pebble, not even for a wedding ring — especially when a better-quality version of the same crystal can be easily made in the lab. Natural and environmentally-friendly aren't always the same thing.

The Future Is Coming for You
It may be irrational to fret about the solemn frippery contained in a BBC editorial. Still, I can't help but shiver in absolute terror when I read pieces like this. Roman Krznaric, the author, believes that our political order is fatally flawed. Why? I'll let him explain:
The time has come to face an inconvenient reality: that modern democracy – especially in wealthy countries – has enabled us to colonise the future. We treat the future like a distant colonial outpost devoid of people, where we can freely dump ecological degradation, technological risk, nuclear waste and public debt, and that we feel at liberty to plunder as we please.
It is a lovely, cool, rainy day in the Valley of the Sun. We very much need the rains, and a snow pack on the mountains to the north, to replenish the reservoirs from the dry decade in the drought cycle. Arizona has been in drought since August 2009. The more water falls in Arizona, […]

Climate Change, one of the most polarizing political issues of our time. This week, we address the notion that our planet is warming, as well as what we can do about it. Are environmentalists like watermelons – green on the outside and red on the inside?

Climate Change, the Law, and Economics
Hosted by Richard Epstein & Troy Senik
Richard Epstein analyzes a lawsuit several major cities are bringing against oil companies over climate change, explains the economic and scientific considerations necessary to seriously grapple with the issue, and describes the libertarian approach to environmental harms.
Why Is the West on Fire?
C. U. Douglas
Let's go back to the turn of the century. No, not the 20th/21st centuries, but back to the 19th/20th century. It was then that the National Park and National Forest services began, then quickly expanded later by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt. The former set aside national wilderness as federally managed land for the public to enjoy, the latter as federally managed land to maintain wilderness, agriculture and the timber industry. That last part is important: The National Forests had an aspect towards maintaining the timber industry.
For about a hundred years, this had gone pretty well. The timber industry harvested in the national forests and replanted so they could go back around again. Several decades back, the industries overplanted figuring once the trees grew to maturity they'd have even more to harvest. The result are the dense forest lands I grew up with in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, one of the first engineering firms had several projects with the National Forest Service, and our contact was from the East. She hated Oregon forests because they were so dense. Well, this was by the timber industries' design. Then we come to the late eighties/early nineties.
Environmentalism was on the rise, and in the Pacific Northwest one of the key designated villains were the timber industries. We were told that the industries just wanted to clear cut all of Oregon's forests and leave nothing. The Spotted Owl was paraded around as needing the old growth trees. It didn't help that almost a century later, no one remembered there was a distinction made between national parks and national forests – a fact the environmentalists exploited to their favor. Popular opinion against timber industries rose, and it didn't take long to find a sympathetic judge to block timber harvesting.
What Is the Problem with a Graven Image?
iWe
Today, the Ninth of Av in the Jewish Calendar, we read in the Torah that G-d's anger is kindled when we do two things: make a graven image, and do evil.
"Doing evil" seems easy enough to understand – G-d wants us to do good. It is not hard to see why acts of kindness and holiness are what we need in order to improve the world, to make the most of our lives.
School Days: Propaganda
J.D. Snapp
Something on Ricochet recently reminded me of an event that happened when I was a schoolgirl.
I must have been in 3rd or 4th grade when my class watched a video at school about the inevitable destruction of the world coming soon where we would have no food because all the plants and animals would die due to humanity's neglect. Then we would die from acid rain, complete with a vivid little enactment of people dying from acid rain. The only way to stop this Certain Death was to start telling grownups to tell people to stop cutting down the rain-forests. I went home bawling to Mom about acid rain death and rainforests. It took her some time to calm me down and I'm fairly certain she got a hold of someone at the school over that.
London High-Rise Fire Tragedy Result of Environmentalist Regulation
Misthiocracy has never
The highrise in London which recently burned, killing many was so devastating because it was recently clad with exterior insulation material to make it more energy-efficient.
The fire started in a lower-floor kitchen and rapidly spread up the entire building due to a "chimney effect" caused by the cladding.

On the matter of whether I need to feel guilty when disposing of garbage in plastic bags, my intuitive reaction is a resounding "no." But why? My imagination is as open as the next fellow's. I can see in my mind's eye the garbage truck and its massive pile of billowing polymers, and the landfill […]

Energetic Advocates Needed
Tom Meyer, Common Citizen
Anacortes, WA oil refinery, by Walter Siegmund (talk) – Own work, CC BY 2.5.
Some months back, I wrote about the Environmental Kuznets Curve, which posits that, as societies become richer, their citizens can afford the luxury of caring about the environment in ways they currently cannot. I suggested that some of this preference could be expressed through government regulation or taxes on dirtier forms of energy, though said I would oppose these in favor of market-driven means.

Our interns at AFJ are getting excited to hear Kevin Jennings speak at our free annual summer lunch next Tuesday, August 3, at 12:30pm. Mr. Jennings is currently serving as the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Department of Education, and was the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) which brings together LGBT and straight teachers, parents, students, and community members to help fight the anti-LGBT bias in school. GLSEN has helped make safe schools a national issue. It is going to be such an opportunity to hear from a great activist who has made a tangible impact on LGBT rights.
Interns and Summer Associates are welcome to join us August 3rd for this event.
Attendance is free, but RSVP is required.
A new study by Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is raising new questions about the safety of medical devices in children. Congress should respond by passing legislation restoring the right to hold medical device manufacturers accountable in state court when they manufacture defective products.
Pediatrics found that over 70,000 children and teens go to emergency rooms annually for injuries and complications from medical devices. As a result of the 2008 Supreme Court decision in Riegel v. Medtronic, certain medical device manufacturers now have total immunity from liability. These manufacturers now have no financial incentive to either produce safe products, or recall unsafe devices, leaving thousands of Americans at risk. The Pediatrics study reported that the percentage of injuries attributable these types of devices is small, but the injuries tend to be the most serious and expensive to treat. They include many catheters, pacemakers and artificial joints.
The Medical Device Safety Act ("MDSA"), is a pending bipartisan bill, designed to reverse the devastating impact of the Riegel decision. The legislation is simple – the bill in its entirety runs less than two pages in length. Passage of the MDSA will restore the long-standing right of injured consumers to hold negligent medical device manufacturers accountable when their products cause injury and death. Learn more about the MDSA, and the patients it would help, by watching AFJ's short documentary film, Hit and Run.
Medical device companies are lobbying hard to stop the MDSA, and have succeeded in stalling any committee action. With Pediatrics documenting so many potentially serious injuries of implantable devices, it's imperative that Congress restore the rights to the young victims' families and pass the MDSA without further unwarranted delay.

And, contesting to Justice Roberts' self-depiction as an uninterested umpire, Senator Whitehouse said, "precedents, whether of old or recent vintage, have been discarded at a startling rate. Statutes passed by Congress have been tossed aside with little hesitation, and constitutional questions of enormous import have been taken up hastily and needlessly…. There is an unmistakable pattern. For all the talk of umpires and balls and strikes at the Supreme Court, the strike zone for corporations gets better every day.
Many Democratic Senators focused their questions for Kagan on a number of Roberts Court decisions that highlight the intense corporate bias of the current Court, including Citizens United v. FEC, Exxon v. Baker, Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Rent-A-Center v. Jackson, Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc., Rapanos v. United States, and Gross v. FBL Services.
Nearly all of the Democratic Senators on the Committee spoke out against the landmark Citizens United decision, which opened the floodgates to corporate spending in elections.
Senator Whitehouse made a similar critique, noting that the Court had to engage in inappropriate fact-finding rather than limiting its consideration to the record before it in order to reach the decision it did in Citizens United.
With oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico while the confirmation hearing took place, many senators addressed the recent Supreme Court decision of Exxon v. Baker, which reduced the plaintiffs' original award by 90% and promulgated a new rule that punitive damages cannot exceed compensatory damages in maritime cases.
Senator Kaufman warned that the Court's decision to slice the plaintiffs' damages by two billion dollars could have the effect of lessening incentives for companies like Exxon or BP to take appropriate safety precautions to avoid potential spills.
While Congress has rectified the injustice created by the Roberts' Court decision in Ledbetter by passing the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, numerous senators expressed frustration over the decision and the Court's seeming inability to foresee the real-world consequences of the decision.
Senator Cardin railed that the Court used the case to articulate a new test that was "incredible to believe" and which made it "impossible" to discover pay discrimination and bring a timely claim.
Senators Whitehouse and Franken discussed the Rent-A-Center v. Jackson case, handed down the week before the Kagan hearing. The case involved a challenge to the enforceability of a mandatory arbitration agreement employees were required to sign as a condition of employment.
Leegin Creative Leather Prods, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc.
Many senators expressed concern over the weakened environmental protections in effect after the Rapanos case, which restricted the federal government's jurisdiction over many of the nation's waterways under the Clean Water Act.
· Senator Cardin criticized the case as a "step backwards" for the environment because of the reduced protection for wetlands under the Clean Water Act.
Many senators remarked on Gross v. FBL Services, which made it considerably more difficult for victims of age discrimination to prove their case by creating a new rule that in a mixed-motive age discrimination case, the plaintiff must prove that discrimination was the sole reason for the termination.

Mariah Carey shows off busty figure after reportedly getting weight loss surgery
By Mark Gray Wonderwall 11:11am PST, Mar 07, 2018
Mariah Carey has still got it.
The 47-year-old posed for the cover of the Spring 2018 issue of V Magazine, and, well, she looked amazing and busty in several saucy snaps.
Both Mariah and the magazine shared images of the cover to Instagram.

Several fan websites posted images from inside the pages of the mag. In a few images, the singer shows off her derriere in black fishnets. In other snaps, she poses in a black bra or black bustier.

The images come a few months after reports surfaced that Mariah had undergone weight loss surgery in October.
A source told Page Six last year that Mariah got the gastric sleeve surgery, which shrinks the size of the stomach so patients eat less.
Mariah, a source told Entertainment Tonight, feels "extremely insecure about her weight."
"She always fluctuates and it makes her upset," the source says. "She lives in denial about it; she has the tags cut out of clothes, so she can be blissfully unaware of her size."
Another source said Mariah feels "much better about herself."

"Because I'm biracial, that's one thing that a lot of my fans who are of all different ages and backgrounds tend to talk to me about," she said. "They're like, 'This helped me get through this,' or a lot of people are like, 'You helped me come out to my parents, because a song like 'Outside' from the 'Butterfly' album describes feeling different than others and not having people who understand.'"

Q. I am confused why the last entry in figure 15.1 in CMOS (for De Graaf) lists the page range for the chapter at the beginning, rather than at the end, immediately before the place of publication. Is it because this sample reference list has its own house style for this kind of reference? If so, it would make more sense to me if your sample reference lists hewed to your own advice for structuring references. Maybe most readers don't look at the examples so closely, but I find them useful sometimes. Or maybe I'm just missing something.
A. You're not missing anything. Most of the numbered figures in CMOS reproduce examples from the real world. We do this not to illustrate strict Chicago style but rather to show how Chicago style has been applied in a variety of publications. And though we do occasionally modify a detail in a figure to conform to the applicable rule in CMOS, we leave the original in place for any departures that seem arbitrary—as in the placement of page ranges in the figure you cite or, as in figure 14.8, the use of the day-month-year date form.
It is helpful, however, to be reminded that our readers may use these examples more literally, as a way to look up a point of Chicago style. Thanks to your question and similar questions from others, we will be sure to clarify the purpose of these figures in future editions of CMOS (e.g., with captions that point out the stylistic variations)—or to provide figures that are more strictly in line with the advice and examples in the numbered paragraphs.

Allison Expands eGen Power® Family of Electric Axles to Provide Additional Offering for European and Asia Pacific Markets
Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional, electric hybrid and fully electric vehicle propulsion solutions, announced the new eGen Power® 130S, the latest product to be introduced to the company's eGen Power family of fully electric axles, this week at IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany.
The new Allison eGen Power® 130S, the latest product to be introduced to the company's eGen Power family of fully electric axles, was designed specifically to support the heavier 13-ton gross axle weight rating, which is often required by commercial vehicles in Europe and Asia Pacific markets. The 130S joins the eGen Power line-up of e-Axles, which includes the 100D, introduced in 2020, as well as the 130D and 100S introduced in 2021. (Photo: Business Wire)
Key components of the 130S including the new suspension systems, V-rod brackets, banjo housing, brakes, wheel ends and axle spindle were designed specifically to support the heavier 13-ton gross axle weight rating, which is often required by commercial vehicles in Europe and Asia Pacific markets. The 130S uses a single motor to generate 225 kilowatts of continuous power, with a peak power of 325 kilowatts, and 26,000 newton meters of torque at the wheels. It also features a two-speed parallel axis gear architecture, efficiently meeting application launch and highway cruise demands, while maximizing energy recovery through 100% regenerative braking capability. The 130S joins the eGen Power line-up of e-Axles, which includes the 100D, introduced in 2020, as well as the 130D and 100S introduced in 2021.
"The introduction of the eGen Power 130S is representative of Allison's global approach to electric vehicle propulsion. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to electrification and a variety of products will be needed to address the wide range of markets Allison serves," said Heidi Schutte, Allison Transmission Vice President EMEA, APAC & South America Sales. "We are pleased to expand our eGen Power family of e-Axles once again in order to deliver an additional electric propulsion solution for European and Asia Pacific markets."
The eGen Power series of fully electric axles are modular and designed for installation and easy integration into existing vehicle chassis. Allison's portfolio of e-Axle models has been developed to address the diverse needs of Allison's customers as they evaluate electric vehicle capabilities to meet the rigorous demands of the commercial vehicle market.
