Although this photo of an Arctic Tern feeding its fledglings was taken from outside Anchorage, Alaska, I got to know their behavior well in Iceland over the summer. At Jökulsárlón Lagoon, there is a narrow road leading to a parking lot off the highway which these birds nest along. If you are unfortunate enough to have to park on the side of this narrow road and walk to the lagoon, you get to experience how fiercely defensive the Arctic Tern is of its nest and young. At the time I visited, there was a very large colony of terns defending their nests, which are on open ground. Even as I tried to keep my distance, it was still too close. They started to dive bomb the top of my head, with each return getting closer and closer. They were relentless. Finally one made contact with its sharp beak. Fortunately I was wearing a cap or it might have hurt! This photo was taken three years before Iceland. Looking back on it, I was probably able to get rather close because they were preoccupied with feeding their young.

Call Me Ishmael: An Exhibition On The Theme Of Moby Dick

Share Exhibition: Call Me Ishmael: An Exhibition On The Theme Of Moby Dick in London, United Kingdom
The Parfitt Gallery is pleased to present Call me Ishmael: an exhibition inspired by Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the first 'Great American Novel' published in 1851. This major group show consists of a number of responses to Melville's epic novel and to the book's most famous adaptation, John Huston's Moby Dick (1956). Stephen Grimes was Assistant Art Director for the classic film and a collection of his working storyboards form the foundation for this exhibition, together with unique photographs taken on set. His storyboards map out a vision that brings the literary masterpiece to life for the big screen, creating a visual experience from the written word. Exhibiting work in this exhibition are: Stephen Grimes, Guy Ben-Ner, Angela Cockayne, Philip Hoare, Clara Drummond, Steph Goodger, Oona Grimes, Tony Grisoni, Mark Hampson, Linder, Jonny Hannah, Vanessa Hodgkinson, Serena Korda, Flora Parrott, Steven Scott and Louie Psihoyos. Works include: Steph Goodger's Terraqueous 2009, a 4-metre multi-panel painting of the first measurable skeleton of a sperm whale that was washed up on Tunstall Beach, Yorkshire in 1825. Melville took great inspiration from accounts of the Tunstall whale from Thomas Beale's book The Natural History of the Sperm Whale and it is believed to contain the closest evidence of the lost manuscript for Moby Dick. Guy Ben-Ner's Moby Dick 2000 sees the artist transform his kitchen into a make believe film-set, creating a playground for the re-enactment of the classic tale by him and his daughter. Angela Cockayne and Philip Hoare's Dominion 2009 creates a dreamlike encounter with the whale by incorporating Cockayne's chimerical objects, part animal and part sculpture with the written words of Hoare; relating to Moby Dick and also his award winning book Leviathan or the Whale 2008. A number of new pieces have been made specifically for this show including Oona Grimes and Tony Grisoni's Postcards from the Pequod; a multi media installation set on the deck of the Pequod where Polanski introduces Poe to Pinocchio. Steven Scott's new film piece traces a distant horizon whilst playing with representations of space through the subjective nature of perception. Flora Parrott attempts to capture an essence in a new sculpture work of the shoulder section of the sperm whale, highlighting her continued interest in compression and the human compulsion to capture and contain, and Mark Hampson has traced four stories relating to the naming of the Moby Dick Roundabout, a black spot on the A13, by incorporating folklore, local accounts and myth making.

Arts Theatre celebrates golden birthday
Monday, 01 April 2019, 14:04
Ilze Tulleken is the director of the theatre's fiftieth anniversary play, The Sleeping Prince.
GEORGE NEWS - This year the George Society of Arts celebrates 50 years on the stage of the Arts Theatre, George's very own theatre. For 50 years, the theatre has woven itself into the fabric of the George community, bringing out the uniqueness, colour and beautiful textures that make up our Garden Route town.
The George Society of Arts, currently in its 71st year of existence, purchased the building in 1969 for R12 000 and spent another R14 000 on renovations to convert it from a public school, turned cinema, into a theatre.
The beloved old lady has had a few face-lifts over the years. Today, thanks to the sponsorship of Oakhurst Insurance, it boasts a new designer look and is known as the Oakhurst Insurance George Arts Theatre.
Reviving the very first production put on stage to celebrate its golden birthday, the George Society of Arts is elated to present The Sleeping Prince, a play by Terence Rattigan, directed by Ilze Tulleken.
Together with a gifted local cast, Tulleken will transport the audience back to London in 1911, where Prince Charles, regent of Carpathia, is dealing with political turmoil in his country and a strenuous relationship with his son, King Nicolas, until the delightful actress Mary Morgan adds love to their hearts and awakens long-forgotten emotions. The witty humour and royal politics of the time promise to entertain the audience and tug at the heartstrings.
Alicia van Zyl as Mary Morgan and Aidan Hyland as Charles, Prince Regent of Carpathia.
Join us to celebrate 50 years on the George Arts Theatre stage with this delightful play featuring incredible local talent from the inimitable director's chair, crazy talented cast, props whizzes and steadfast stagehands.
The Gala evening is on 6 April, to be followed by shows on 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 April. Tickets are available at Computicket and at the Oakhurst Insurance George Arts Theatre. For more information, click here.

Moore County Partners in Progress is pleased to announce Moore County has earned the designation of Certified Entrepreneurial Community®.
"The Certified Entrepreneurial Community® (CEC®) designation means that Moore County is 'entrepreneur-ready' and we have a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem that can help new start-ups and small businesses succeed", said Natalie Hawkins, Executive Director of Partners in Progress.
Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy and in Moore County almost 70% of businesses employ less than five employees. Just last year, the State of NC had more new businesses created than any other year previously. "We've seen a healthy rate of new business creation in Moore County with over 2,500 new business corporation and LLC filings with the NC Secretary of State's Office since January 2020. We want these businesses to be successful and this CEC® designation signifies we have the resources to support them," said Hawkins.
The idea to pursue the CEC® designation originated from a feasibility study commissioned by Partners in Progress to determine if an entrepreneurial hub would be viable in Moore County. The study revealed an abundance of local resources and opportunities to grow the existing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Moore County.
Partners in Progress worked with Creative Economic Development Consulting, LLC (CEDC) to complete the CEC® Program. With coaching from CEDC, Partners in Progress assembled an Entrepreneurship Task Force of 13 stakeholders from government, small business, financial institutions, nonprofits, and educational providers that met monthly over the last year.
The CEC® program includes an Ecosystem Assessment, an Action Plan, Coaching, and Certification. An Action Plan is developed for an entrepreneurship project that will advance and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Certification is awarded after a local task force accomplishes their entrepreneur initiative goal.
The Entrepreneurship Task Force focused their efforts on identifying and accumulating resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses, which culminated in a digital resource guide located on the Partners in Progress' website (www.moorebusiness.org/start-relocate-expand/start-a-business). This efficient, easily accessible digital resource guide identifies entrepreneurial resources and providers all in one place, with a link to the Sandhills Entrepreneurship Engagement Network (SEEN) Resource Navigator.
"Moore County joins only 12 other communities in North Carolina and one in Virginia who have completed the CEC® program since its inception in 2007," said Crystal Morphis, Founder and CEO of Creative Economic Development Consulting. "The digital resource guide created by the Entrepreneurship Task Force is a tremendous asset for cultivating and advancing entrepreneurship in Moore County."
The CEC® program encourages certified communities to make a commitment to entrepreneur initiatives beyond the completion of the initial project. The Entrepreneurship Task Force is already making plans to organize an Entrepreneur Summit in 2023 that will raise awareness of resource providers, showcase successful entrepreneurs, match entrepreneurs with potential funders, and provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to network.
The opportunity to establish an entrepreneurial hub in Moore County is still on Partners in Progress' radar. "We definitely have not abandoned the idea of a future hub," said Hawkins. "The feasibility study revealed that a hub would be viable in Moore County, and our goal is to revisit and potentially pursue the opportunity within the next few years."


Wow! What a shock, but not a surprise it was to learn this morning that public support for the downtown exhibit of historic homes and other places in the downtown Houston Sam Houston Park are in danger of being lost due to the fading away of private support.
In addition, the absence of operational funds has effectively caused all the conservatory professional and support staff of the Heritage Society that manages the showing of the old homes and thousands of other historic items to either remain as lightly paid, mostly volunteer staff ~ or else, look for other work. ~ And their departures from jobs they love are a double loss ~ both for them ~ and the community they serve so well.
Here's the link to the story. And thanks again to frequent researcher/contributor Darrell Pittman for alerting The Pecan Park Eagle to this distressing development.
If Houston is going to be successful with its preservation efforts downtown ~ or with a permanent design for showing the Astrodome to the world for what it actually is ~ it's got to have the private sector support that those kinds of first class city projects require. It will never be enough to simply patch each thing along over time on the backs of small public fundings and short-term private interest usage contracts that first blur away and eventually discard any serious reliquarian reference to what's really historically important about the saved entity.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the people and friends of the Historic Society ~ and for the future of the buildings and other important historical items under their care.
Hang in there, people! ~ It ain't over til it's over ~ and it's going to get better. ~ Gotta happen!
We're Houston Strong! ~ Remember?

We just got back from the hospital and Kitty's numbers are a little bit better. Her oxygen saturation is at 95% and her ventilator has been turned down to 25 for the pressure (PSI? I'm not sure what units they use) and 85% for the oxygen content. I'm learning far more about pulmonary care then I ever wanted to know. Jose, one of her pulmonary specialists is always fiddling with the settings trying to get her a bit more O2.
They have increased Kitty's sedation medication because she actually woke up yesterday and tried to pull her tubes out. The hospital staff responded basically instantly and talked to her and explained what was going on and why she shouldn't take the tubes out. Jose was there and said that when they talked to her, her eyes were tracking and she could understand everything that they told her. Then they increased her meds and back to sleep she went.
Baby steps. She is getting better, but it is a slow, slow process. I will keep you all posted.

Can we send cards or flowers or something so she knows how much we care when she does get to wake up?

We talk a lot about the email marketing subject line on the mailingmanager blog, but for one very good reason.
Of all the time you spend on your email marketing campaigns, the time invested in crafting the perfect subject line will be the most important.
It's the thing recipients see first, and if you get it wrong, your hard work will disappear without trace, no matter how great the content within the email happened to be.
Get it right, however, and you'll enjoy a fantastic return on investment.
Nope, we're not suggesting you resort to calling your recipients nasty names – just their own.
If you include the contact's name within the subject line, they're more likely to open it, because it shows you care; your email, clearly, was for this person and this person only.
Example: Dave, your subscription to Service X just got more awesome!
Subject lines should slip off the tongue and demand to be read. And, when you think about it, that's exactly what poetry does so well.
Try using rhyming couplets, alliteration and puns in your subject lines. As daft as it sounds, these kinds of technique are more likely to get you noticed.
Often referred to as 'front loading', if you put the important words at the start of the subject line, people will get to see what it's all about, quickly.
Your recipients are time poor, and you simply don't have the luxury of their attention for any more than a few seconds. Make it easy to discover exactly what your email is all about – instantly.
Humans love talking about themselves.
Come on, admit it – you do, too. And there's nothing wrong with that, but as marketers, we need to make sure we take advantage of the desire people have to rattle on about their own interests and beliefs.
If you ask a question in the subject line, we think you'll see some impressive engagement.
Oh, and make sure you combine it with some personalisation, too!
Most of your recipients will respond well to numbers within subject lines if they relate to a statistic that matters to them or a particular offer.
We've done it with the title of this blog post, and if you're still reading, clearly, it worked. Expect the same level of engagement from your subscribers if you employ similar tactics with subject lines.
Most importantly, have fun with your subject lines! I can guarantee that the emails you've received recently that most interested you were the ones which were playful from the off.
If your email marketing subject lines are stuffy, non-inventive and entirely safe, your emails won't get opened.
Use our tips above, and all that hard work you put into your email marketing campaigns won't be lost.


My name is George Parigian. I am age 61 and have lived in the Boston area all of my life. I have many interests in addition to antiaging, health and wellness, such as strength training, history, reading, music, movies, restaurants and theater.
I am a personal trainer, (NSCA-CPT) certified by the National Strength & Conditioning Association. I participated in track and field while in High School and that was the beginning of my interest in competitive sport.
While at Northeastern University I went on to a very successful career in the demanding sport of Powerlifting, eventually achieving "elite" ranking in two weight classes (181lbs & 198lbs), earned All American status while at Northeastern University and finally won the United States National Championships in 1981 in Boise Idaho!
I met many knowledgeable people in Powerlifting, some even having achieved Ph D's in sports and health sciences, and learned much from them. For me, strength and health is a lifelong passion.
This website about longevity and antiaging secrets is a natural extension of my search for better and more effective ways to achieve antiaging in the truest sense of the word! Through this site I intend to share with you the knowledge I have gained so that you will be empowered to take charge of your own health and improve the quality of your lives.
I am involved in a never-ending search for new and better antiaging solutions, which will be reflected in my website about "longevity and antiaging secrets." I will work to provide innovative information on longevity and anti-aging and show you strategies to utilize this information to resolve health issues in the present.
For me aging is not a pleasant experience to be acquiesced to gracefully, but rather a continuing challenge to overcome. I feel the information on "longevity and antiaging secrets" will provide valuable antiaging solutions for yourself and your loved ones.

Naji al-Ali, né vers 1937 en Palestine et mort assassiné le , en Grande-Bretagne , est un caricaturiste palestinien. À la suite de l'exode palestinien de 1948 sa famille s'est réfugiée dans camp libanais de Ain al-Hilweh.

Durant sa carrière, il a produit environ  dessins, bien que le chiffre de  apparaissent le plus souvent, la plupart décrivant la situation du peuple palestinien. Il fut découvert par Ghassan Kanafani et ses premiers dessins prêchèrent l'espoir et la révolution. Il a travaillé au Koweït pour le journal Al Qabas pendant trois années puis il s'est installé à Londres après avoir été expulsé du Koweït en 1985.

Les caricatures de Naji al-Ali expriment la lutte et la résistance à l'état Israélien qui occupe la Palestine depuis 1948. Il disait que ses caricatures étaient :

Il fut atteint d'une balle dans la tête le  à Londres et succomba à ses blessures à Charing Cross Hospital à Fulham un mois plus tard, et fut le premier caricaturiste à être assassiné pour ses dessins.

En 1988, l'Association mondiale des journaux attribue le prix Golden Pen of Freedom, reçu par sa femme Widad et son fils Khaled. L'Association mondiale des journaux le décrit comme un des plus grands caricaturistes depuis la fin du .

Handala

Handala est un personnage créé par Naji al-ali. Il est apparu pour la première fois en 1969 dans le journal koweitien Alsiyassa (La politique). C'est un petit garçon âgé de 10 ans, c'est l'âge qu'avait Naji lorsqu'il avait quitté la Palestine, pieds nus comme tous les enfants qui habitent les camps de réfugiés palestiniens. Handala est situé dans l'espace sans terrain d'appui car il est sans patrie. C'est le témoin de la tragédie de tout un peuple, le personnage est toujours dessiné de dos, visage tourné vers la Palestine, et les mains croisées en signe de refus des solutions proposées par les États-Unis et leurs alliés arabes et israéliens. Il ne devrait dévoiler son visage que le jour où la dignité arabe ne sera plus menacée et où il retrouvera sa terre natale.

Naji dit de Handala :

Carrière en tant que caricaturiste et journaliste
En 1959, al-Ali retourne au Liban, et rejoint le Mouvement nationaliste arabe, mais est exclu par quatre fois pour manque de discipline de parti. Entre 1960 et 1961, avec ses camarades du MNA, il publie un journal politique manuscrit, Al-Sarkha (le cri).

En 1960, il entre à l'Académie des Arts Libanaise, mais est incapable de continuer ses études car arrêté pour des motifs politiques peu de temps après. Après sa libération, il part pour Tyr, où il travaille à l'école Ja'fariya comme professeur de dessin.

L'écrivain et militant Ghassan Kanafani vit certains dessins d'al-Ali pendant une visite à Ain al-Hilweh et permit la diffusion de ses premiers dessins avec un article dans Al-Hurriya, numéro 88 du .

En 1963, il part pour le Koweït, espérant économiser de l'argent pour étudier l'art au Caire ou à Rome. Il y travaille comme rédacteur, caricaturiste, dessinateur et producteur de journal dans le journal nationaliste arabe Al-Tali'a. À partir de 1968, il travaille pour Al-Siyassa. Pendant ces années, il retourne au Liban plusieurs fois. En 1974, il commence à travailler pour le journal libanais As-Safir, ce qui lui permit de retourner au Liban pendant une plus longue période. Pendant l'invasion israélienne du Liban en 1982, il est brièvement détenu par les forces d'occupation avec d'autres résidents d'Ain al-Hilweh. En 1983, il repart pour le Koweït pour travailler pour Al-Qabas et en 1985, il part pour Londres où il travaille pour l'édition internationale du journal jusqu'à sa mort.

En 1984, The Guardian le décrit comme "la plus proche chose qu'il y a d'une opinion publique Arabe."

Travail, positions et récompenses
Dans sa carrière de caricaturiste politique, Naji al-Ali a produit plus de  dessins. Ils traitaient généralement de la situation du peuple palestinien, décrivant ses souffrances et sa résistance, et critiquant très durement le leadership palestinien et les régimes arabes. Il était un féroce opposant à toute solution qui n'inclurait pas le droit des Palestiniens à toute la Palestine historique, et nombre de ses dessins exprimait ce point de vue. Contrairement à de nombreux caricaturistes, des politiciens spécifiques n'apparaissent pas dans ses dessins, selon lui, « … j'ai une perspective de classe, c'est pourquoi mes dessins prennent cette forme. Ce qui est important est de dessiner des situations et réalités, et pas de dessiner des présidents et leaders ».

Il publia trois livres de ses caricatures, en 1976, 1983 et 1985, il en préparait un autre au moment de son assassinat.

En 1979, il fut élu président de la Ligue des Caricaturites Arabes. En 1979 et 1980, il reçut le premier prix lors de l'exposition des caricaturistes arabes à Damas. En 1988, l'Association mondiale des journaux attribue le prix Golden Pen of Freedom, reçu par sa femme Widad et son fils Khaled. L'Association mondiale des journaux le décrit comme un des plus grands caricaturistes depuis la fin du .

Assassinat

Le mercredi   vers 17h13, Naji gare sa voiture à Ives Street à Chelsea, Londres, à moins de  de Alqabas Aldawliya, le journal koweïtien où il travaille. Un de ses collègues raconte qu'il a vu Naji marcher dans la direction des locaux du journal, suivi par un homme aux cheveux noirs portant une veste en jean. Quelques secondes plus tard, il entend un coup de feu et voit Naji par terre et l'homme qui le suivait fuir. Le samedi 29 août, 38 jours plus tard, Naji succombe à ses blessures. Il meurt le . Il souhaitait être enterré à Ain al-Hilweh aux côtés de son père, ce qui fut impossible à faire et fut enterré au cimetière islamique Brookwood en dehors de Londres.

Selon un porte-parole du journal koweïtien Al Qabas, où Al-Ali travailla près de trois ans, le caricaturiste a reçu plus de 100 menaces de mort durant sa carrière. Ses collègues au journal ont rapporté qu'une bande koweïtienne avait essayé de le tuer avant qu'il ne soit parti du pays. Par la suite, il n'a pas voulu vivre dans un autre pays du Moyen-Orient parce qu'il craignait pour sa vie. Un collègue de Naji Al-Ali a révélé qu'un haut responsable de l'OLP, organisation de Yasser Arafat, a téléphoné au caricaturiste au milieu du mois de juin et lui a dit : « Vous devez corriger votre attitude. » « Ne dites rien contre les personnes honnêtes, autrement nous aurons des raisons pour vous régler votre compte ». Le , malgré les avertissements, il publie un dessin se moquant d'Arafat et ses acolytes.

La police britannique a arrêté un jeune étudiant palestinien, Ismail Hassan Saouane, après avoir trouvé une cache d'armes dans son appartement, qui, selon les dires de la police, serviraient à des attaques terroristes en Europe ; il fut condamné pour possession d'armes et d'explosifs. Saouane était membre de l'OLP, bien que l'organisation ait nié toute implication. Pendant son interrogatoire, Saouane affirma qu'il travaillait pour les services secrets israéliens (le Mossad), qui selon lui était au courant du meurtre du caricaturiste. En refusant de fournir les informations utiles à leurs collègues britanniques, le Mossad s'attira la méfiance de l'Angleterre, qui expulsa deux diplomates israéliens de Londres. Margaret Thatcher, premier ministre de l'époque, ordonna la fermeture des bureaux du Mossad à Palace Green, Kensington.

30 ans après sa mort, a police britannique a décidé de rouvrir l'enquête pour trouver d'éventuel témoins sur cette affaireet qui reste à ce jour toujours non-élucidée.

Commémoration
Une statue de Naji al-Ali réalisée par le sculpteur Charbel Faris a été érigée à l'entrée nord du camp Ain al-Hiweh. Peu de temps après elle fut endommagée dans une explosion, re-érigée de nouveau, puis par la suite disparut et son destin elle demeure ensuite inconnu.

Q: Document root for mobile version (.htaccess?) I have a webshop, and since google decided to promote mobile versions of webpages, I am developing my m.example.com.
Here are the trick. I do not want, m. domain. What I want is, when a user is coming, I check the user agent, and if it is coming from mobile, I will show the mobile version, if come from desktop, show the desktop version.
But, I want to use exactly the same urls to the users. So, the http://example.com/contact/ will be the url for both desktop users, and both mobile users.
The mobile version of the page is under a subdirectory ./mobile/.
Is it possible somehow to force apache, to change document root, if someone is coming from mobile, but keep the original URLS?
For example:
http://example.com/contact/ should run /var/apache/example.com/mobile/contact.php, but for desktop version, should run /var/apache/example.com/contact.php? As I mentioned, the URLs are the same.
If the question is not clear, please leave a comment.

A: Something like this? (Collated from this answer  and then just doing a RewriteRule)
RewriteEngine On

# Check if this is the noredirect query string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)noredirect=true(&|$)
# Set a cookie, and skip the next rule
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=mredir:0:%{HTTP_HOST},S]

# Check if this looks like a mobile device
# (You could add another [OR] to the second one and add in what you
#  had to check, but I believe most mobile devices should send at
#  least one of these headers)
RewriteCond %{HTTP:x-wap-profile} !^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Profile}       !^$
# Check if we're not already on the mobile site
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}          !^m\.
# Check to make sure we haven't set the cookie before
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie}        !\smredir=0(;|$)
# Now redirect to the mobile site
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  mobile/$1 [R,L]

Meningitis is a serious condition that can progress rapidly and become life-threatening in a matter of hours. While there are different forms of meningitis, bacterial meningitis, caused by bacteria such as streptococcus pneumoniae or Group B Streptococcus, are the most dangerous. While bacterial meningitis can affect people of all ages, it occurs most often in infants and young children. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were approximately 4,100 cases of bacterial meningitis and 500 deaths every year in the U.S. between 2003 and 2007. While the majority of patients recover from meningitis, failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, or misdiagnosis of meningitis can lead to permanent consequences, including brain damage, developmental delays, and hearing loss. In some cases, bacterial meningitis results in sepsis, a dangerous response to infection that can lead to organ failure or even death if not immediately treated. Doctors and other medical professionals are responsible for identifying the potential signs of meningitis, diagnosing, and treating the condition in a timely manner to alleviate these serious risks. If they fail to fulfill these obligations, they may be held liable for medical malpractice.
At Fronzuto Law Group, our highly experienced New Jersey medical malpractice attorneys serve as unwavering advocates for victims who suffer harm as result of medical negligence. Under the leadership of our firm's founder, Ernest P. Fronzuto, a New Jersey Supreme Court Certified Civil Trial Attorney, we utilize over 75 years of combined knowledge and resources to obtain maximum compensation for our clients.

As we construct the most compelling case for damages, we walk you through every phase of the legal process, ensuring that you are informed and all of your questions are answered. If you or your child suffered complications as result of meningitis misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose meningitis, contact our Passaic county offices today at 973-435-4551 or contact us online to schedule a free initial consultation.
Meningitis is a medical condition that occurs when the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. Bacterial meningitis is the most severe type of meningitis, as it can begin with flu-like symptoms and quickly develop into a life-threatening condition. Some of the common symptoms of meningitis include headache, fever, and stiff neck; however, these symptoms do not occur in every case and are not readily apparent in infants. Other symptoms that may appear in patients suffering from meningitis include: confusion, nausea, vomiting, and increased light sensitivity (also known as photophobia).
If bacterial meningitis is allowed to progress, it can lead to brain damage, coma, and death. In order to diagnose meningitis, doctors have a variety of tests and procedures at their disposal. For instance, imaging tests such as X-rays and CT scans may be used to detect inflammation or swelling in the head, neck, or chest. Doctors may also conduct blood tests and a spinal tap to test cerebrospinal fluid. Detecting and properly treating bacterial meningitis is absolutely essential, as the condition often aggressively progresses. Delayed diagnosis or treatment of meningitis can result in permanent, catastrophic harm to children, adults, and infants.
When bacterial meningitis occurs in newborns, it is generally passed from the mother to the infant during labor or delivery. The vast majority of meningitis cases in newborns are caused by Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Doctors must test pregnant women for Group B Streptococcus at between 35 and 37 weeks gestation. If a woman tests positive for GBS, doctors can prescribe antibiotics during labor to prevent passage of meningitis to the infant. Consider the following: if a woman with Group B Streptococcus does not receive antibiotics during labor, she is 20 times more likely to pass this disease to her child, than if antibiotics were administered.
If medical professionals fail to diagnose and treat bacterial meningitis in newborns and infants, the results can be devastating. Complications of bacterial meningitis that is allowed to progress may include brain damage, Cerebral Palsy, hearing loss, cognitive deficiencies, developmental delays, and paralysis.
If a pediatrician or other doctor failed to adequately identify meningitis or initiate treatment in a timely manner and you or your child was harmed, you may have grounds to pursue compensation. To discuss your potential claim and learn more about your legal options, contact our New Jersey medical malpractice attorneys today at 973-435-4551. We provide initial consultations free of charge.

No, not a radical environmental group sounding the call this time around. It is the United Nations – Environment Programme with the recent release of the report: UNEP Global Environmental Outlook: Environment for Development (GEO-4). This report assesses the state of the planet since 1987, and was drafted by over 390 experts in the field of environmental studies. It was just released Thursday, October 25, 2007.
Sadly, the outlook on the world's water is dire. The report warns that a combination of rises in global population, unsustainable agricultural practices, increased degradation of water quality, and climate change will decrease water availability worldwide. Two billion people could face water scarcity by 2025.

This is a question that is often sent in to me. I know I have covered it in the past, but I feel that it's worth reiterating and trying to approach the answer from a slightly different angle to help clear up some confusion.
First, Ask Yourself This; How Intensely Will I Be Exercising?
This all depends on the type of indoor cycling that you're planning on doing. Spinning does require special shoes but the good news is that you can purchase reasonably priced options that will last an incredibly long time. If you have purchased a stationary bike and only plan on using it for some casual exercise, you can get away with using regular running sneakers or any type of shoe with a good grip or cleats on it.
Spinning is an intense form of indoor cycling that does require some specialized gear. This is a completely different type of workout that focuses on using your leg muscles. You don't want to give your feet a second thought while working out.
This is why it's so important to get the right shoes as soon as you know that spinning will be your workout of choice for cardiovascular reasons or to build up a solid leg muscles.
Spinning shoes clamp onto the pedal of the bike so that you don't have any worries about your feet slipping. You'll be cranking the flywheel as fast as you can during this exercise program and the last thing you'll want to have on your mind is the position of your feet. When you're near the end of the class and you're really driving it home, all of your attention is going to be on pounding your leg muscles to finish up the class on a high note.
If you're going to a gym and planning on using the stationary bike there along with other gym apparatus, you may just want to wear your regular workout sneakers so that you can go from one piece of equipment to another without having to change.
If, on the other hand, you're only interested in using the bike, you might want to look at the various types of cycling shoes available. Take a look at shoes with cleats on them so that your foot will remain stationary while you're riding the bike.
Do You Plan On Working Out At Home?
The same holds true for stationary bikes in a home gym. You'll get better ride performance and as a result will burn off more calories knowing that your feet are secure. It's all a matter of what you are using your in-home bike for. If you just want to hop on it during your favorite TV show and do some casually riding to maintain your fitness or weight level, you probably won't need anything more than the sneakers that you wear to the grocery store.
Sometimes you may experience some problems or other foot issues even if you are only using your bike occasionally. You may find that you can only travel a couple of miles before you start to get uncomfortable. In most cases, proper biking shoes will alleviate this problem.
There are a lot of different types of cycling shoes available (here are some more ideas for you) and whether you need a pair for spinning or for casual riding, they have all been specially designed to make bike riding more comfortable whether you're in motion on the street or remaining stationary in a gym.

Q: Stenographic projection of $S^{2}$ sphere. In my notes:

the there exists a line $\imath \left ( p \right )$ that intersects any fixed coordinate N and any point p in $S^{2}$.
Consider a point $p_{1}$ in the region z>0.
Indeed, the line $\imath \left ( p_{1} \right )$ intersects $p_{1}$ and N and cuts plane z=0 at some point $q_{1}$ on the plane z=0. However, I fail to understand why for any point p in the region $z>0$, the map of the point p is to the region outside of $S^{2}$.
Any clarification is much appreciated.

A: Have you tried putting "stereographic projection" into an image search? When I did with Google, this was the second result:

(Unfortunately reverse image search was not able to give me the original source of the image.)
Indeed, if you solve for the point $q$ to get an algebraic expression for it as a function of $p$, you should be able to justify formally why this occurs.

Pakistan coalition faces collapse
Al Jazeera, August 24. 2008
Zardari, right, has confirmed that he will stand for Pakistan's presidency [AFP]
Pakistan's coalition government is looking increasingly shaky after an aide to Nawaz Sharif, leader of one party in the goverment, said his PML-N party was inclined to pull out.
Pervez Rasheed, a close aide of the former prime minister, said that the party's leaders would meet on Monday to decide whether to join the opposition amid growing differences with the Pakistan People's Party (PPP).
"General opinion in the party is in favour of parting ways," Rasheed told The Associated Press news agency on Sunday.
Sharif has demanded that the PPP agree to reinstate the 60 judges sacked by Pervez Musharraf, the former president who quit last week, by Monday in order to remain united for presidential elections to be held on September 6.
But the PPP under Asif Ali Zardari – who confirmed on Saturday that he would bid to replace Musharraf – has been stalling on the issue.
Sharif demands
Sharif has been asked to support Zardari's nomination but has made this conditional on the return of the judges and the PPP leader agreeing to limit the powers of the presidency.
He says that Zardari has reneged on a written agreement to restore the judges within 24 hours of Musharraf's decision on August 18 to quit rather than face impeachment charges.
Siddiqul Farooq, a spokesman for the PML-N said that the issue of whether Zardari would stand for the presidency was the PPP's "own decision," not that of the coalition partners, but reiterated his leader's demands.
"We do not want a civilian president with the same powers that Musharraf had, mainly the power to dissolve parliament," Farooq said.
"Our top priority is restoration of the judges and we want it done on Monday."
Analysts say the PPP is reluctant to restore the judges because of concerns the deposed chief justice might take up challenges to an amnesty from corruption charges last year granted to Zardari and other party leaders.
Presidential contest
In a sign that relations between the two sides were becoming increasing fractured, another of Shraif's aides on Saturday offered to stand for the presidency in opposition of Zardari.
"I am also willing to contest the presidential election, but I am bound to obey what the party decides," Javed Hashmi, one of Sharif's most senior aides, said.
Kanwar Dilshad, the election commission secretary, said nomination papers for the presidency can be filed from August 26, with the final date for any withdrawals on August 30.
Under Pakistan's constitution, a president is elected by members of the country's four provincial assemblies and the national parliament within 30 days of the post becoming vacant.
The political deadlock is making it increasing difficult for the government to tackle economic problems in the country, unrest in the tribal areas and the growing strength of armed pro-Taliban groups.

The Impeachment of Musharraf, Then What?
By FATIMA BHUTTO | Counterpunch, August 16 / 17, 2008
The murky abyss of Pakistani politics has been especially murky over recent months, and true to form it just keeps getting murkier. The one thing that is absolute when dealing with the dregs that run my country is this: nothing is ever as it seems. Nowhere is that more true than in the current scenario involving President Musharraf's likely impeachment by the ruling coalition.
"It has become imperative to move for impeachment," barked Benazir Bhutto's widower, Asif Zardari, at a press conference in Islamabad last week. Sitting beside the new head of the Pakistan People's party was Nawaz Sharif, twice formerly prime minister of Pakistan. Zardari snarled every time Musharraf's name came up, seething with political rage and righteousness, while Sharif did his best to keep up with the pace of things. He nodded sombrely and harrumphed every once in a while. The two men are acting for democracy, you see. And impeaching dictators is a good thing for democracies, you know.
But Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari are unelected. They're not just unrepresentative in that they don't hold seats in the parliament – they have absolutely no mandate in Pakistan. They head the two largest, and most corrupt, parties in the state but hold no public office. Pots and kettles.
The rest of the coterie that wields power behind this administration, the attorney general and the interior minister for instance, also happen to be unelected. They serve, and I use the term ever so lightly, by appointment only. Some 170 million Pakistanis have lived under military rule of law for nine years. Musharraf stepping down from his army post has not changed that. Neither did the recent selections. Sorry, I meant elections, obviously.
The current administration – a party coalition comprising two formerly mortal enemies, the PPP and the PML – has enjoyed five months in office. And what has this thriving democratic union accomplished? It passed the National Reconciliation Ordinance, an odious piece of legislation that wipes out 15 years' worth of corruption cases against politicians, suspiciously covering 11 years of PPP and PML rule. Bankers and bureaucrats were also given the all-clear. Worse still, the ordinance contains a clause that makes it virtually impossible for future charges to be filed against sitting parliamentarians.
But they must have done more than that, surely? Well, all that really changed is that food inflation has accelerated, oil subsidies have been cut, gas prices have doubled, and those pesky militants in the Swat district the tribal regions have turned up the fighting. Several days before the decision to impeach Musharraf hurtled through the airwaves, a small story came in from the tribal areas: the militants are close, the story said, they've vowed to target the government, even to the point of attacking state schools. This is a civil war, the story said.
So what does the government do when its country appears to be tearing apart at the seams? Go on the attack. Impeach the tyrant. "The period of oppression is over for ever," declared the prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, at an event marking 61 years of Pakistani independence yesterday. "Dictatorship has become a story of the past." Deny everything. Nothing is wrong, democracy is good and we hate dictators. Well done.
Pakistan is a sovereign country. We are a proud, resourceful, independent nation. We have options. Zardari is not an option. Sharif is not an option. The army is not our one and only option. The mullahs have not become an option yet. There are close to 200 million of us: I'm sure we can think of something better.

Patriotic Front Deputy parliamentary Chief Whip Tutwa Ngulube has asked Speaker of the National Assembly Dr Patrick Matibini to make "a serious ruling" on whether or not UPND Mazabuka member of parliament Garry Nkombo can be referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions for possible prosecution over allegations on Wednesday that PF secretary general Davis Mwila received K3 million from Zesco Limited for the by-elections.
Ngulube, who is PF Kabwe Central member of parliament, in his point of order raised in parliament, further asked Speaker Matibini to also rule on whether Nkombo was in order to abuse his privilege as a Member of Parliament by presenting to the assembly "a forged, fake , falsified document" with intent to "embarrass the PF SG and also to bring odium and scandal on Zesco a public utility".
"I will lay on the table transcript of the point of order raised by Nkombo, the letter from the office of the chief whip and the response from Zesco which also states that even the signature purporting to be that from a Mr Jenia is fake," said Ngulube.
But Speaker Matibini said he was not in a position to render his ruling given the nature of the point of order and also the issues raised.
" I need to study the material and also carefully reflect upon the matter," Speaker Matibini ruled.
Ngulube informed the House that on Wednesday, Nkombo raised a point of order saying he woke up in shock on online revelations that Zesco Limited had given K3 million to Mwila and went further to produce the the purported letter which was in his possession but never mentioned the source of the document.
Ngulube said in his belief and understanding, Nkombo was the one who made that letter he produced on the flow of the House or "he knows who is behind that document".
"Following up on that, the office of the Chief Whip took up the matter and wrote to the Director of Zesco Limited to find out whether such allegations were substantiated…and in that letter delivered on March 20, the office of the Chief Whip sought to clarify whether indeed it was true that government abused Zesco…as put by Nkombo," he said, adding that Zesco had responded and denied every writing such a letter.
Ngulube told the House that Nkombo's allegations were aired on both Parliament Radio and Television.
He said Nkombo ought to have known that "he dragged innocent people into his allegations" which have now been proved to be "fake, false and malicious".
My prayer is that Hon Nkombo can prove his allegations.Nkombo is one of the young people that exhibit traces of upright leadership and my hope is he can successfully prove his allegations to avoid going to jail and place his political career in smoke.
Nkombo is generally a nice guy…..
BUT Sometimes he is too partisan & motor mouthed 'no kufulungana kwati achilala kwi Ule' .
Nkombo is an intelligent man how did he think so low & be cheated by some in this manner,he is being mislead by kambwili,look @ how kambwili brought up a by election in roan, just to hear on radio he was fired,he rushed to the media I'm NDC president & NDC is me,just that statement he was gone from PF the party he dearly loved & never wanted to leave,he even lost a graduaty & now he is a common man like me.stop listening to kambwili nkombo you are a smart intelligent guy,look now what is happening to you,I'm highly disappointed with you nkombo now.
Gary Nkombo is an intellectual and I just wonder how he could have found himself in this sort mesa.Let's veryfy the authenticity of the source of the information before we run with it please guys.Otherwise muzapeza at I mwayasha mulilo muziko monga my Ruanda ka!
Is this a letter or a Memo ?
Can a Director of Finance generate such a poor & feeble Memo ?
No reference of the originator & typist of this Memo.
Banene, Bada – you have asked for it !
Its a known fact that parastatals do fund the ruling party's elections. Directors that refuse to oblige do lose jobs under the guise of incompetency.
Zesco is a cash cow for PF so it wouldn't be surprising, campaign time is best time steal.
Common sense is that Nkombo believed that what he was producing b4 parliament was true. If it is proven that it is not true, the speaker will rule him out of order as he did to minister of finance.
There is no need for criminal prosecution coz of the immunity that they enjoy on the floor of the house.
Whosoever wants to take him to court for defamation should do so and that should not be the Speaker.
Just as the Speaker ruled against Minister of Finance so shall it be with Nkombo.
Tutwa Ngulube can find better things to do than scheming for by elections whose expense is a drain on the already scarce national resources. Do not put partisan expediency ahead of national interest.
I have respect for the Speaker who is far level headed than most MPs, both from opposition and ruling parties.
Reals issues… Real issues.. Why are u neglected..
PF has been milking Zesco to such an extent that Zesco has now been forced to apply for tariff increments of more than 150% just to feed the hungry PF machinery & this increment to be Bourne by poor zambians.
i wish to differ on a school of thought exhibited by kabuki on the issue at hand. lets be factual .dose it mean when some body is delibaletly trying to tarnish another persons image by presenting fasel truthy just to win or gain political mileage is not worthy protecting.his motive is bad.in this case nkombo is wrong and as such he has much to explain the source of the facts he has in posetion.what was he trying to prove?

Central Bank directs insurers to raise reserves to cover injury claims
Sep 24, 2015 | Financial Mis-selling
Home » Financial Mis-selling » Central Bank directs insurers to raise reserves to cover injury claims
Recent reports from Central Bank have indicated that insurers will need to set out more reserves to cover car crash, workplace injuries and other claims as compensation payouts surge.
An average High Court personal injury award has soared by 34% according to the Courts Service.
The insurance industry in Ireland has been in turmoil in recent years, as companies have failed to raise enough from selling policies to cover claims and expenses. Some companies have not been charging enough as they battle to win market share. That was one problem at FBD, which posted record losses in the first half of the year after raising reserves.
FBD (a loss-making company) have confirmed that Prem Watsa's Fairfax Financial Holdings will invest in the firm to bolster its capital. Not only that, other insurers have experienced similar or worse fates including Quinn Insurance which went into administration; London-based RSA was forced to inject cash into its Irish unit and Setanta collapsed.
Fairfax had previously invested in Bank of Ireland and will inject €70m in FBD through a convertible bond.
Insurers have increased car insurance costs by 7% within the last month, which brings the annual increase to 25% with a further 25% due next year. (Central Statistics Office).
Another concern for insurers is over increased payouts for claims for injuries and accidents. Insurance lobby groups assign this to a wave of 'newly appointed judges' who tend to be more pro-plaintiff.
Settlements of cases are being superseded by plaintiffs taking cases through to the courts process.
But in contradiction to this, the Injuries Board have said it had only seen a 7pc rise in the number of claims for injuries from motor accidents and injuries in the workplace and in public places.
Acting Chief Executive of the board Maurice Priestly said there was an urgent need for more data from insurers to explain why premiums were rising so much.
A total of 17,132 claims were received by the board in the first six months of the year, up just over 1,100 on the same period last year. The average award paid out was similar to last year at €22,375. The total amount paid out in the first half of the year was €128.45m.
Mr Priestly said that a modest rise in claims could be explained by greater economic activity and more cars on the roads.
"Greater economic activity would be expected to generate greater numbers of policies and premium income for insurers. However, what we are seeing are insurance premium increases in the region of 20pc and further clarity is needed on the precise cause of increases of this scale," he said. "Our data on claim volumes and the cost of processing claims is at odds with the scale of premium increases taking place in the market."
Insurers have blamed higher premiums on increased awards being made in the courts due to a rise in the size of award that can be made in the Circuit Court.
The Courts and Civil Law Act 2013 increased the monetary jurisdiction of the Circuit Court in personal injury cases from €38,000 to €60,000.
Founding chairperson of the Injuries Board, and the chair of the Motor Insurance Advisory Board, Dorothea Dowling, said she had warned the Department of Justice that allowing higher levels of awards in courts would encourage people to shun the Injuries Board.
Large numbers of claims and the cost of settling claims have also been given by insurance companies as reasons for spiralling premiums.
They also blame under-pricing of premiums in the past, under-reserving, more strict rules on the level of capital reserves needed to be kept by insurers, a fall in investment income and fraud.
Injury claims have to be processed through the Injuries Board. If a settlement is rejected, it can then be taken to the courts. Some four out of 10 Injuries Board settlements are rejected by claimants.
Mr Priestly said the number of personal injury cases initiated in the courts fell last year.
There was a need for a full inquiry into all aspects of the claims and insurance costs, he said. "We strenuously reiterate our call for insurance data sharing and greater transparency in the interests of consumers and wider society,"

ANALYSIS: Profile - From the back of the class to classycommunicator
October 29, 2001 by DOUGLAS QUENQUA
The pro-bono work of Antonio Tijerino has helped him travel a
winding road from Burson-Marsteller to Nike, and finally to a foundation
that recognizes promising Hispanics. He talks to Douglas Quenqua about
his journey.
Antonio Tijerino's career is proof that pro-bono work pays. He's
executive director of the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation (HHAF),
funded by the Fannie Mae Foundation.
True, he's made most of his money from places like Nike,
Burson-Marsteller, and the Fannie Mae Foundation. But he's made a living
- or a life, more accurately - from the work no one told him he had to
Born in Nicaragua in 1961, "Tonio," as he's known to friends, moved with
his parents and two siblings to Washington, DC in 1967 - "the summer of
love," as he still calls it. His eager, boyish smile may have foretold a
lifetime in PR, but his tongue didn't. He spoke no English, and the
school system made little effort to teach him the language. "In first
grade, they stuck me in the back of the room. I wasn't learning
anything," he remembers. "I was just ignored."
But life in Washington was idyllic compared to some of the other places
Tijerino has called home. DC was culturally diverse, and plenty of other
kids looked like the way he did and shared his family's values. But
following his parents' divorce, Tijerino moved to rural Illinois.
He used to spend summers in Nicaragua, but the eruption of civil war in
1978 ended that tradition. Tijerino and his family made it out of the
country the day before the airports closed.
But Tijerino is far from the somewhat Dickensian character his
background may suggest. He's funny, lighthearted and gregarious - and he
really, really loves public relations.
He's the kind of guy who makes casual conversation about the "value of a
deadline." If you mention someone who didn't return your call, you'll
get a 10-minute soliloquy on being responsive. Suggest you can get
somewhere in this industry by being ruthless, and he'll give you a dozen
examples of success by friendship. Mention just about anyone on the
Washington PR scene, and he'll tell you how he knows him or her.
Tijerino's PR jobs range from the corporate side to the agency world to
nonprofits. He graduated from the University of Maryland's School of
Journalism in the mid-'80s, intent on becoming a reporter for either The
Washington Post or Rolling Stone. Instead, he found himself writing
obituaries at local community papers.
He switched sides by 1990, taking a job in the newly formed grassroots
department of Burson-Marsteller. Over the next six years, he moved from
project to project, learning the trade, and handling everything from
media relations for the NAFTA campaign to consumer accounts such as Bell
Atlantic and Coca-Cola.
He spent a year launching the DC office of Burson sister agency Cohn &
Wolfe, which eventually gave way to a dream job as director of
communications at sports company Nike in Portland, OR.
Pro-bono work led to his appointment at Nike. He signed on with the
Youth Life Foundation, an organization founded by Washington Redskins
cornerback Darrell Green to help "open doors" for underprivileged DC
youth and their families. (Green was instrumental in getting Tijerino
his post with Nike.) In 1994, he volunteered to be the director of
communications for the AIDS Walk. True to his Washington upbringing, he
also volunteered for the Clinton/Gore campaigns of '92 and '96.
His next job in Washington gave him experience in yet another side of
the business: director of PR and communications at the Fannie Mae
Foundation. "One of the great things about Fannie Mae was that they gave
me the autonomy and the directive to put a PR department in place," he
says. "There wasn't much of one before."
The primary function of the Foundation is to fund other groups that
create better living conditions in communities throughout America. One
of those groups is the HHAF.
"I took a special interest in HHAF because of my heritage," he says.
Each year, the HHAF recognizes an increasing number of Hispanic youth
for notable achievement. Tijerino found himself following the progress
of one, Michelle Mayorga, a girl of Nicaraguan descent who interned at
the White House and has since attended Yale. That closeness made an
impression on the top brass at the HHAF, which invited him to apply for
his first non-PR job since his days at Burson. They wanted him to become
executive director.
"It was all his experience that led us to this decision," says Heritage
Foundation creator Elaine Dagen Bella, who has occupied the executive
director post for the past 15 years.
"The mission of the foundation is to promote Hispanic excellence and to
provide role models within the community, and that's a PR function."
At only 40, it would seem Tijerino has come full circle. A career that
has mixed PR with charity work has culminated in a position that
combines not just the two, but his heritage as well. So what's left to
do?
"I'd still like to write for The Washington Post."
