The man found dead early this morning in conjunction with the attempted arson of a local senior housing project has not yet been publicly identified by police.
The 69-year-old man, a resident at Aspen Country Inn, was found dead after intentionally set fires forced residents to evacuate the complex.
Local police and fire officials, along with an agent from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, have spent much of the day investigating the arson scene, but no details about the case or the deceased man will be released until Tuesday, Aspen Police Detective Jim Crowley said this afternoon.
Authorities have declined to comment on the nature of the victim's death or on whether it occurred as a result of fire, but several blazes in both buildings that comprise the Aspen Country Inn were clearly arson, according to Crowley.
The fires started at multiple points and it appears an accelerant was used to help fuel the blazes, he said.
The detective declined to comment on whether the dead man is a suspect in the crime.
Most of the 40 units at Aspen Country Inn were unaffected by the fire and residents are expected to be allowed back into their units this afternoon, Crowley said.
There was fire damage in a basement storage unit in the west building, one apartment in the east building and in a common lobby area and an office in the east building, he said. The blazes triggered the buildings' sprinkler system. The fire department turned off gas to the buildings, Crowley said.
Fire alarms in the complex, located across Highway 82 from the Maroon Creek Club just downvalley from the Maroon Creek bridge, went off shortly after 3:30 a.m.
"That alarm would wake the dead," one resident said.
Aspen Country Inn, a former motel, consists of two buildings that were converted to rental housing for senior citizens in 1999. It is owned by the Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority and most of the residents there are seniors and retirees.
They found themselves standing out in the cold in pajamas and bathrobes early this morning. About 30 minutes after the alarms sounded, a Roaring Fork Transportation Authority bus arrived, giving them a heated place to sit.
Residents were eventually allowed back into their units to get medications; most also took the opportunity to change into street clothes and jackets. They were brought to the former Aspen Youth Center in town shortly after 6 a.m., where the Red Cross provided them with food and coffee.
Helen Roberts, one of the complex's younger, working residents, said she spotted cushions ablaze on the sofas in the lobby and another fire in the manager's office as she exited the east building.

Movie Review: Garden Of Evil (1954)
Despite a stellar cast, stunning scenery and a promising premise, Garden Of Evil stumbles into a narrative morass and withers into insignificance.
A steamboat carrying a group of men towards the California gold rush runs into engine trouble and is forced to dock at a small Mexican port for repairs. On board is the quiet and mysterious Hooker (Gary Cooper), professional gambler Fiske (Richard Widmark) and the excitable Luke Daly (Cameron Mitchell). At the the local tavern they meet the desperate Leah Fuller (Susan Hayward), offering large sums of money for the services of men willing to help rescue her husband, trapped under rubble at a remote mine site.
Hooker, Fiske and Daly and local Mexican Vicente (Victor Manuel Mendoza) join Leah on the dangerous multi-day journey to the mine through Apache territory, including a narrow mountain pass. Once at the mine they rescue the trapped John Fuller (Hugh Marlowe), but his injuries mean that the journey back will be even more hazardous.
Directed by Henry Hathaway from a Frank Fenton script, Garden Of Evil simply fails to ignite. All the ingredients are ready, but the mix is out of balance, and ultimately the film descends into endless and repetitive scenes of the group riding, camping, and on the return journey, taking turns dying as the men are whittled down in number until one survivor gets the girl.
Garden Of Evil is an attempt to draw rich and sometimes philosophical characters, consumed by greed, lusting after a beautiful woman, challenged by the terrain and guarding against each other while fending off bandits (in this case Apache Indians). The themes are drawn from The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, but the execution is wholly unconvincing. Hooker and Fiske manage some clever exchanges of dialogue, but otherwise the characters are flat and stuck on a single note, the tension between them wholly contrived, with Hooker easily the smartest, toughest, and coolest.
Other fundamental flaws include a difficult to believe negative dynamic between Leah and John Fuller, the latter quick to castigate his wife after she went to great lengths to save his life; and an incomprehensible decision to set-out on the return journey soon after arriving at the mine site, the script seemingly ill at ease with anything except the group riding through the terrain.
Which leaves the scenery to admire, and Garden Of Evil is frequently visually stunning. Filmed in Mexico and brought to life in CinemaScope and Technicolor, Hathaway makes best use of spectacular mountain passes, lush vegetation, sunrises, sunsets, and silhouettes, and the camera angles innovatively emphasize both the beauty and dangers offered by the secluded locales.
Beautiful to look at but carelessly throwing away its promise, Garden Of Evil is overgrown with weeds.

MD Invested Home » Invested MD Home » What the heck is up (or down) with oil prices?
The hybrid car I drive sips gas. It rarely costs more than $35 to fill the Prius, so I'm never so shocked by price fluctuation at the pumps.
But, as an investment analyst who keeps tabs on global oil markets, the volatility of oil prices over the past month has been a head-turner.
Over just a few weeks, U.S. benchmark oil prices toppled close to a third from four-year highs. A few months ago, media speculated that oil would top US$100 per barrel; today it trades at closer to US$50.
And it's looked worse in Canada, where Alberta crude oil prices touched historic lows last month.
So, what's up with oil prices?
Earlier this year, our view was that oil prices were superficially high. After the recent decline, we now expect prices to moderate back up, along with supply-side changes.
What we mean when we talk about "oil prices"
Different grades of crude oil–the thick, unprocessed stuff—price in factors like ease of refining, location, ease of transport and pipeline capacity. Geopolitical events and sentiment also drive prices.
Two key global benchmarks we watch are West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude from the North Atlantic. These are "light" (low density) and "sweet" (low sulfur) grades, good for gasoline refining.
Canada's oil sands produce "heavy" (high density) and "sour" (high sulfur) crude oil. It costs more to refine this into an end product, so it's priced less favourably.
The Western Canadian Select (WCS) benchmark is quoted as a spread relative to WTI prices. That margin has been about -$15 per barrel, on average, over the past 10 years. In July, WCS dipped to -$20, sliding to a record low of -$50 in October, before easing back.
Why are Canadian oil prices so low?
Oil production in Canada hit a bottleneck, as rising supply surpassed pipeline and transportation capacity. The Alberta government and federal government have been reviewing options, including production cuts, but producers are divided.
One cause is temporary, but could persist for months: several key U.S. oil refineries have shut down for maintenance, holding up Canadian exports.
And a lack of clarity around future pipelines is affecting market sentiment about landlocked supply, as TransCanada Corp.'s Keystone XL oil pipeline awaits environmental review and the Trans Mountain Expansion Project is in hearings for reconsideration.
Globally, WTI prices had been on a steady rise since June 2017, peaking at US$76.41 in October 2018. Fears of supply shortage helped boost prices early in the year, as markets expected fallout from Venezuela's economic collapse, U.S. sanctions on Iran, and the outlook on Russian and Saudi Arabian oil production.
By early October, data from the International Energy Agency showed crude oil supply surpassing demand, a trend that has continued. This calmed supply fears but hurt prices. The Trump Administration wavering on sanctions against Iranian oil export led to further decline.
Our analysis suggests recent oil prices have been driven more by supply-side dynamics than demand-side factors, which would be of greater concern. The probability of recession remains low over the next 12 months, and we don't see oil demand weakening.
Negative sentiment led major oil benchmarks to trade below true value, and we expect current prices to rise as production is curtailed in response to the lower prices. There is higher volatility due to geopolitical issues, and we think long-term oil prices will be range-bound.
For Western Canadian Select, there's no quick solution. We expect the larger than typical discount to persist into 2019. Oil remains an important part of the world economy, and MD's exposure to energy is different for each fund and portfolio in our roster.
In MD's alternative investment funds and pools, we've recently moved to an overweight on oil (WTI). In the MD Global Tactical Opportunities Pool we've been increasing our position to Canadian equities over the last year as oil prices rose and the domestic economy strengthened, but remain underweight at this time. We continue to monitor the impact of WSC pricing trends.
Our Canadian equity funds typically have a material allocation to energy, as the sector represents about 20% of the S&P/TSX. The MDPIM Canadian Equity Pool and the MDPIM Dividend Pool have exposures of 16.5% and 9.5% respectively.
I'm not sure when I'll be back at the gas station. The Toyota gets such great mileage, it can be weeks between fill-ups.
However, analyzing oil benchmarks and market trends IS part of my daily routine, as a member of the MD team that monitors and assesses risks and opportunities in the markets.
While I hope this helps explain some of the ups and downs of oil prices, if you'd like to hear more detailed analysis on this, or anything else, please just ask your MD Advisor.

Inter not afraid of Barcelona's interest in Onana
Inter are reportedly sure Ajax goalkeeper André Onana will arrive when his contract expires in June 2022, despite the interest from La Liga giants Barcelona.
The goalkeeper's contract with Ajax expires after the current season and the Nerazzurri have reportedly reached an agreement with the shot stopper.
But reports in Spain suggest the Blaugrana have joined the chase for the goalkeeper from Cameroon.
Inter have, according to Calciomercato.com, identified the 25-year-old as the perfect replacement for Samir Handanovic and have reached an agreement over a four-year deal with the player.
Onana, capped 20 times by Cameroon, will reportedly leave Ajax on a free transfer next summer and join the Beneamata.
He has only played once in the Champions League for the Dutch side this term, as he recently returned from a doping ban.
But he played 90 minutes and helped Ajax pick up a 2-1 win over Besiktas in the fifth round of Group C in the European competition.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano also highlights the goalkeeper has a verbal to join the Nerazzurri.
Napoli are working hard to try and sign Getafe left back Mathias Olivera in this…

There is a calamitous but oddly compelling tension that rears its head when the night hits its darkest hour. This is the feeling you get when My Education's newest LP, 'Sunrise', takes off with soaring, cinematic instrumentals – an amazing concoction of guitar drones, melodic viola, and thundering rhythms. Sunrise, a new album of pieces from their original score for F.W. Murnau's 1927 silent masterpiece "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans", finds the band in peak form. Having perfected the material with live film performances over the last two years with sold out shows across the USA, My Education has captured 40 plus minutes of a soundtrack to the long dark night of the soul. Sunrise is an aural experience that is original and unique. This soundtrack finds parallels with the soundscapes Popol Vuh created for Werner Herzog's films. All told, this is their most diverse and mature release to date. Since forming in 1999, the band's membership has expanded and contracted while the sonic landscapes have grown with each release. My Education has released 5 full-length albums, several singles, compilation appearances, and a 12″ vinyl collaboration with avant-hip hop duo Dalek. Recordings have been remixed by members of bands Kinski, Pelican, the Red Sparrowes and Dalek.

Community facilities | August 01, 2018
Kealy calls for Balmoral Community Complex project funding - 31-7-18
The Nationals Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy and Leader of The Nationals Peter Walsh met with the Balmoral & District Showground Recreation Reserve Committee yesterday to discuss the proposed Balmoral Community Complex project and to see firsthand the need for improved facilities.
A 2015 feasibility study showed overwhelming community support for a larger venue in Balmoral where functions, events and meetings can be held, with a local fundraising campaign launched in 2016 already raising $348,880.
The proposed project includes a large multi-function room catering for education and cultural events, educational training opportunities, social gatherings, community and sporting events.
Current infrastructure at the Balmoral Recreation Reserve is white-ant ridden and some areas are unsafe for public use.
"It is absurd that Daniel Andrews is investing $225 million of taxpayers' money to redevelop Melbourne's Etihad Stadium but forces local country sporting clubs like the Balmoral Football and Netball Club to pay interest on a loan to upgrade their facilities," Ms Kealy said.
"Local residents have done a fabulous job raising $350,000 and they should be supported in their efforts, not forced to run chook raffles to raise the funding required to bring this facility to fruition for their local community."
Mr Walsh said country sports unite our communities and are one of the things that make Regional Victoria a great place to live and work.
"The Balmoral community has come together to get behind a project that will provide some great social and economic benefits to the region," Mr Walsh said.
"Country Victorians have been neglected by Daniel Andrews – it's clear the further you live from Melbourne the less you get from this city-centric Labor Government."


It's Saturday morning and something is happening next door.
Joan: Steve, what's all that noise outside?
Steve: Just a minute, I'll have a look. ....... Oh! It looks as if the new next door neighbours are moving in.
Joan: Oh, it's a bit early, isn't it? Ah well I guess we'd better get up.
Steve: It's amazing how quickly the houses are selling round here, the Browns only put it on the market a month ago.
Joan: Where did they move to?
Steve: I think he told me they were buying a detached house in Surbiton.
Joan: Sounds nice. I hope the new neighbours are nice.
Steve: Well, I was speaking with Mr Brown last week. He told me they were a young couple with two daughters. They liked the house because it was near a good school.
Joan: Two daughters! That will please John.
Steve: Ha! Maybe we'd better pop next door and say hello.
Joan: Yes, and maybe we'd better start thinking of selling too. I'd like a detached house in Surbiton as well!
The noise is coming from upstairs.
The neighbours are moving out.
Steve and Joan are in bed.
A lot of houses in the area are for sale.
The Browns have bought a semi-detached house.

Kids First Fund
The Kids First Fund helps abused and abandoned children.
That's been our mission for 20 years, and in those two decades thousands of children have benefited from our work in Latvia and Moldova—more than 22,000 in 2019 alone. We protect children from abuse. We empower young adults with a positive future. We strengthen families. We build awareness of child abuse.
We are distinctive because we operate in areas that traditionally saw very little light: Sexual and physical child abuse are taboo topics because they represent the very worst in humanity. Latvia and Moldova have been off the maps of traditional charities, overlooked and under-served. We also plan to add our first grant project in the Americas with a new Native American child abuse prevention partner.
The Kids First Fund supports programs to educate those responsible for child safety such as teachers, social workers, police, prosecutors, and parents on child abuse issues—and educate children about how to protect themselves. The objective is to stop abuse before it occurs.
The Kids First Fund does not incur any expenses since all staffing and services are donated. The organization has been granted special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

In 2016, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and Ann Cunningham initiated an effort to gather the thought leaders and creators of tactile art and tactile graphics to experience and examine the current state of the work in this field. This September, the NFB sponsored the third and final Tactile Art and Graphics Symposium in partnership with the Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco. The event took place over three days at the Enchanted Hills Camp in Napa, California, and brought together thirty participants, including DIAGRAM Product Manager Sue-Ann Ma and community members Josh Miele, Ting Siu, Abigale Stangl, and Naomi Rosenberg. The event was a wonderful gathering of art practitioners and ignited discussions across a range of topics regarding tactile graphics such as: standardizing symbols for tactile maps, teaching tactile reading skills, developing tools for tactile creation, and making art both for and by the blind community. The gathering was a great opportunity to meet old friends and new, as well as explore innovative ways to continue the important discussions regarding tactile education and promotion.
We recently learned that a portion of the Enchanted Hills Camp was engulfed by the Napa and Sonoma county fires. We were relieved to learn that no one was hurt, but sad to hear about the physical damage and material loss endured by the wonderful staff members at EHC. Our thoughts remain with the EHC staff and look forward to the rebuilding of this amazing site.


Zoho One combines 35+ separate interconnected Zoho apps into one huge value. You get the highest level of each app (called Enterprise) for less than the price of the Enterprise version of CRM alone.
What's great about Zoho is they continue to add more and more functionality while finding ways to bring down the price for their customers. This is a tremendous value - and frankly, one of the best kept secrets - likely because they are a private company and rely on their partner referral network to generate interest.
With Zoho One, you have the ability to not only save hundreds of dollars in software costs - you are able to develop a very clear picture of your prospects, customers, partners because of the tight integration.
The ease of use is incredible as well - it is very intuitive to use.

Statement from the President on Notre-Dame
The Society's President Christina Blacklaws issues a statement in support of our friends and colleagues in France
"The Law Society of England & Wales wishes to express to our friends and colleagues in France our grief at the partial destruction by fire of Notre Dame Cathedral. It is a miracle that so much wonderful glass and so many religious treasures were saved. Notre Dame is an iconic symbol not only of the French nation but of our shared history. It has overseen the development of our two nations to modern democracies with a shared commitment to the rule of law. We share the sadness you must all feel."
Christina Blacklaws, President of the Law Society of England and Wales


Ever wondered if you could find a single cure to anti-aging, skin diseases, heart diseases etc.? Well, you can find the answer to all these problems and more because everything is power packed in one small fruit - the humble Gooseberry. A relative of the currant family, the gooseberry, also known as Amla, Amlaki, Vayastha and Dhatriphala, it has many curative powers just like other berries. However this is a berry which has extra curative powers.
If one were to consider an analogy, the following one would be apt - gold is to the world of minerals as amla is to the world of herbs. Such is the wondrous value of the great herb. Vitamin C in abundance The Gooseberry is an abundant source if vitamin C. It cools the body, acts as a mild laxative, is a diuretic and is antibacterial as well. When dried, it is used primarily for conditions like diarrhea, hemorrhage and dysentery. It treats all forms of ulcers and can eliminate any form of constipation or piles condition.
It is also used in the treatment of artherosclerosis as well as leucorrhea. Being such a rich source of natural vitamin C, it is an excellent anti-aging remedy. When applied topically, it cures all kinds of skin infections. When dried and powdered and applied on the scalp, it makes hair thick and shiny and lustrous. It rejuvenates skin, prevents infections and increases the natural immunity of the human body. One gooseberry is equivalent to the strength of two oranges put together.
It is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that tend to damage the skin. One of the greatest mysteries of this wonderful herb is that even when cooked, the vitamin C content does not diminish. Eye problems The gooseberry is extremely beneficial for all eye ailments. The juice if mixed with honey, can help in improving the eyesight.
It also treats common kinds of eye infections like conjunctivitis and glaucoma. It also reduces the tension in the intraocular region. The way the juice is to be administered is as follows: one cup of the Amla juice needs to be mixed with honey and this dosage needs to be taken twice a day. Beneficial for the liver The liver as we all know is a vital organ responsible for our proper digestion and food intake.
With the increased usage of chemicals in today's modern world, there is bound to be a build up of toxins in the liver. With the regular intake of Amla juice one can strengthen the condition of the liver and also eliminate all the toxins built up in the system. It purifies and cleanses the blood of all its impurities.
When taken along with neem, it is a great cure for eliminating pimples occurring on the skin. Brain functioning Amlaki when taken internally helps to improve the functioning of the brain. It makes a person more alert and active.
It improves and sharpens memory and also strengthens the central nervous system. This is one main reason why it's so good for improving immune systems. This is how it enables the body to fight common diseases. Heart conditions Amlaki is also great for toning and strengthening the muscles of the heart.

From whichever direction you approach Rhos on Sea you can't fail to notice the impressive rounded bulk of Bryn Euryn. Known locally simply as 'The Bryn', Bryn Euryn is owned by Conwy Borough Council and designated as a Local Nature Reserve. Geologically this is a limestone hill rising to 131metres (365 ft) above sea level and designated as a HUMP – a hill of a Hundred Metre's Prominence which has a drop of over 100 metres on all of its sides.
For those not too familiar with the pronunciation of Welsh names, Bryn Euryn is pronounced Brin Eye-rin, which in English roughly translates as Euryn's Hill.
The hill is a virtual island, surrounded by the housing of Rhos on Sea and Penrhyn Bay on its West, North and East flanks and both the railway and the A55 North Wales Express run along the bottom of its South side. Despite this, the panoramic views from the summit are as breath-taking as the climb up to it.
View across to the Little Orme – the golf course on the right of Llandudno Road and part of the residential area of Penrhyn Bay in front of it
The Reserve includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest; has a historic ruin (Llys Euryn) and its summit was once the site of an ancient hill-fort subsequently replaced by a rather more prosaic triangulation (trig) point.
Rhos on Sea is clear to see, then there's neighbouring town of Colwyn Bay and of course the Bay itself. Across the dual carriageway is Mochdre, and distant views across the Conwy Valley and the Carneddau mountains beyond. The views from the top of the hill are extensive, over the Conwy Valley and Snowdonia to the south and west and over the Irish Sea to the North.
LOCATION of BRYN EURYN & HOW TO FIND IT
Grid Reference: SH 83220 79847 Postcode: LL28
Most guides tell you the hill is located in Rhos-on-Sea, but of course it was here first, so should be the other way around; Rhos on Sea is actually located around Bryn Euryn! As I said before, you can't really miss it once you know where it is, but this is how to access it:
By car from the A55: Exit at junction 20 for Rhos on Sea. Follow signs for the B5115, Llandudno Road and stay on this road until you reach a set of traffic lights where you take a left turn into Rhos Road, following the brown Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve sign. Continue straight up here a short way to the junction with Tan y Bryn Road and you will see the access drive to the Reserve almost immediately opposite. The access is only really wide enough for one car, but the car park is just a few metres up on your right-hand side.
By car from Llandudno: If you are travelling from the Llandudno direction, leave Llandudno on the Colwyn Road, the B5115, heading for Penrhyn Bay. Continue along the seafront, pass by the bulk of the Little Orme on your left, taking the right hand lane down the hill to the roundabout. Take the 2nd exit here towards Colwyn Bay. At the next small roundabout continue straight on, passing the golf course and Llandrillo College on your left. Continue on up the hill and pass by St Trillo's church. Almost immediately after that you'll see a sign for the reserve instructing a right turn, which has 'Hickory's' restaurant on the corner (formerly The Ship pub). Take the turn, into Tan-y-Bryn Road, and very shortly you will see the sign for Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve on your right-hand side. There is a narrow access to the site, wide enough for one car. The car park is a few metres up on your right-hand side.
On foot from Rhos-on-Sea village centre.
From the village centre there are two routes, the first fairly direct, the second longer but more scenic. Both involve walking uphill as you are heading up the lower slopes of the Bryn itself.
1) The most direct walking route is to follow Rhos Road, which starts from the village having the Cayley public house on its corner. Follow it upwards to the traffic lights at its junction with with the B5115, Llandudno Road. Cross the road here and continue on to the top of the road where it joins Tan y Bryn Road and you will see the signpost for Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve almost in front of you on the opposite side of the road. . There's a car park a short way up on the right where you will find a notice board and an interpretation guide to the site.
2) If you're feeling a bit more energetic, follow the promenade in the direction of Penrhyn Bay, (towards the Little Orme) until you reach Abbey Road on your left and cross the road into it. Turn first right into Church Road and follow it (uphill!) to its junction with the B5115, Llandudno Road. Cross here and carry on straight past Hickory's (formerly The Ship pub), into Tan-y-Bryn Road. Carry on down here and on your right you will shortly see the signpost for Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve. The car park is a short way up on the right where you will find an interpretation guide to the site.
By bus: From Llandudno it is possible to catch a number 12 bus that travels through Rhos on Sea enroute to Rhyl. There's a bus stop handy for the Bryn located just inside Church Drive, opposite Hickory's. From there you need only cross the road and walk a shortish distance down Tan y Bryn Road to find the Reserve signposted on your right (as directed in travelling by car).
By train: The nearest train station is Colwyn Bay and the trainline passing through it runs from Holyhead to London Euston via either Chester or Crewe, and also down to South Wales. Travelling from the Chester direction other local station stops are at Flint, (Shotton), Prestatyn, Rhyl, (Abergele & Pensarn). From Holyhead there are station stops at Bangor, (Conwy), (Llanfairfechan) and Llandudno Junction. Not all trains stop at the places in brackets, some do on request, so you do have to check.

Subject: Just a quick recap!
Had a big group tonight - 8 people - I know, let's play LoE! Just got done explaining the rules and the 9th one showed up. *sigh* So crash course for the late guy and I sat out while everyone played it for the first time.
It was interesting to be an observer for that big of group - especially since no one had played before. Towards the end people thought it was running a little long - but then immediately said they'd really like to play it again now that know how to play. Observing it - I'd say the exact same thing - but that's only because I've played. Second play through, with even 2-3 folks who've played before, would have cut their playtime in half.
Super big shout out for the mechanic keeping folks in the game even if you're 'eliminated' and providing alternate means for winning. It totally takes care of Sammy Sandbagger Syndrome - which everyone appreciated.
Definitely check this out if you're headed to GenCon if you are even remotely into Social Deduction! I got to play a super early version of it LAST year which is why I wanted to jump in on the playtesting of it. My group does NOT do social deduction, so I count this as a good sign.

Open Letter on Opposition to WMA Council Resolution on Observer Status for Taiwan to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Inclusion as Participating Party to the International Health Regulations (IHR)
Prink Large Medium Small
The CMA firmly oppose the adoption of proposed revision of WMA Council Resolution on Observer Status for Taiwan to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Inclusion as Participating Party to the International Health Regulations (IHR) by WMA. This resolution have neither legal nor factual basis. From a legal perspective, the mentioned "WMA Council Resolution" is a clear violation of Article 2 of the UN Charter, which states "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations." "There is only one China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China."This principle is universally recognized in the international community as a code of conduct. We stand firmly against the Inclusion of the Taiwan Region in any official initiatives or organizations. It also failed to uphold WMA's principle of not taking any political stance on national sovereignty issues, and further dishonored the WMA by ignoring the commitment made by Dr. Ian T. Field, then Secretary-General of the WMA, stating "(for) our member association from Taipei the title of their organization in our meetings is 'Chinese Taipei Medical Association'", in his letter to the CMA in 1997.
Article 2 of the UN Charter clearly states that the Organization and its Members shall act by the principle that the Organization and its Members "shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations". As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the World Health Organization (WHO), when dealing with the participation of Taiwan region of China in the affairs of the WHO, including matters related to the IHR, follows the principle of "There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China", which is a principle affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 and the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 25.1. Therefore, granting Taiwan observer status of the World Health Organization and inclusion as participating party to the IHR by violating the above-mentioned principles as suggested by the "WMA Council Resolution" approved at the 2005 council meeting and its revision proposed by the CTMA, would be an act that undermines the sovereign unity and territorial integrity of China and violates the UN Charter.
As an international non-governmental organization, WMA claims to take no political stance on national sovereignty issues. However, as discussed above, the Resolution politically challenges the sovereign unity of China and undermines the territorial integrity of China, thereby violating this principle of the WMA.. In addition, when the CMA rejoined the WMA in 1997, Dr. Ian T. Field, then Secretary-General of the WMA, made a commitment on behalf of the WMA to address the member association from Taipei as 'Chinese Taipei Medical Association' (CTMA), which indicates that the WMA deals with professional issues represented by medical associations only, and involves no interests of states. The change of secretary-general does not negate the validity of that commitment made in official capacity. The Resolution and the proposed revision submitted by the Taiwan Medical Association(TMA) no doubt stand against this commitment and undermine the credibility of the WMA.
Furthermore, there is anything but the truth in Taiwan Medical Association's claim about lacking access to the WHO, as the Chinese Central Government has made appropriate arrangements for the Taiwan region of China to be part of global health affairs. The Taiwan region of China faces no barrier to participating in global health affairs, including the WHO technical activities and access to information. And the so-called "gap in global anti-epidemic efforts" is purely fictional. Instead, it is the Taiwan authorities who plot against the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 and and the World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 25.1, which affirmed "There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China". As it seeks to join the WHO as an "independent sovereign state or similar legal status", the Taiwan authorities threaten to deny WHO's request for information, because that will, as it argued, compromise their national identity. It is self-evident that the true "gap in global anti-epidemic efforts" is the Taiwan authorities, who compromise the right to life and health of its own people.
By honoring the fact that "There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China", designated WHO IHR focal points can directly contact and communicate with the designated IHR focal point of the health authority of the Taiwan region of China at any time regarding matters such as surveillance, notification, consultation, reporting, verification, grading, and response in relation to public health emergencies. Therefore, the Taiwan region can have timely access to the information on global public health emergencies released by the WHO and can make notifications to the WHO regarding public health emergencies happening there in time without any obstacle. Medical experts from the Taiwan region of China can participate in the WHO technical activities. With all these arrangements in place, the Taiwan region is well-positioned to respond timely and effectively to public health emergencies in the Taiwan region and beyond.
Since 2021, 18 health experts from the Taiwan region of China has participated in the WHO technical activities in 14 batches, including the WHO News Briefing on the Composition of Influenza Virus Vaccines for Use in the 2021-2022 Northern Hemisphere Influenza Season, the third meeting of the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group of Experts (STAGE) for Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health and Nutrition (MNCAHN), and Immunization and vaccines related implementation research advisory committee biennial conference. Among which, 7 sessions are directly related to COVID-19. The Taiwan authorities not only concealed all these from the local people but also fabricated lies and kept stressing the epidemic prevention gap. The message is clear, the Taiwan authorities have no intention to contain the pandemic, but every intention to seek independence no matter what it might cost.
As for Taiwan authorities' argument for difficulties in communication, the Chinese Central Government and the WHO are just scapegoats. The real problem lies in its attempt to join the WHO as an "independent sovereign state or similar legal status", and thereby violating the resolutions of the UN and WHO. The reason why the Taiwan region was able to attend the WHA in the name of "Chinese Taipei" as an observer from 2009 to 2016, is a special arrangement made by the cross-Strait consultations, based on mutual adherence to the 1992 Consensus, which states both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one and the same China. Now that the Taiwan authorities, led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), refuse to acknowledge the 1992 Consensus, then refuse to upload focal points information on the website of IHR as a part of Chin, the political foundation previously negotiated through cross-Straits consultation for the Taiwan region of China to participate in the WHA stands no more and the Taiwan region is unable to continue attending the WHA. Now, only the doer can undo what he has done. We sincerely suggest the Taiwan authorities reflect on the importance of the 1992 Consensus, and rejoin the WHO through cross-Straits consultation, instead of non-political organizations.
In conclusion, the "WMA Council Resolution" approved at the 2005 council meeting and its revision proposed by the TMA prove invalid from both legal and factual perspectives. More importantly, it is weaponized political ammunition for Taiwan authorities to seek independence regardless of the health of local people. The CMA urges all members of the WMA to refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, politicizing scientific issues, or taking any political stance on national sovereignty issues. We hope to see the WMA's 1997 promise honored, and the Charter of the United Nations and the Constitution of the WHO observed. We call for rescinding the WMA Council Resolution on Observer Status for Taiwan to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Inclusion As Participating Party to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and for rejecting the revision thereof proposed by the TMA. We adjure all members of WMA to protect the mutuality of the organization from reducing to tools for political maneuvering.
On behalf of nearly 10 millions of Chinese medical professionals, CMA sincerely puts forward the above requests. We hope every council member and friend can respect the fact of One China, make rationale and appropriate decision.

Family speaks after woman from Utah killed in Las Vegas mass shooting
By: David Wells
SALT LAKE CITY — A woman from Utah was one of the dozens of people killed Sunday night in a mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Cody Davis said his sister, Neysa Tonks, grew up in Sandy and went to Brighton High School.
She'd been living in Las Vegas for about a decade with her three sons, he said, who she raised as a single mom.
Davis got the call Sunday night that his sister died in the shooting, which left 58 others dead and over 500 people wounded.
"It almost felt like a bad dream," he said. "You can`t really process the weight of it at the time."
He said Tonks had attended the country music festival with her boyfriend, and that her boyfriend told the family that they ducked down during the first round of shots.
They decided to run, he said, and Neysa's boyfriend was grazed by several bullets. When her boyfriend looked back, Davis said, he saw that Tonks had been shot.
"He said he saw her take her last breaths, and he stayed there with her," Davis explained. Tonks died at the venue.
Tonks leaves behind three sons who are 24, 17 and 14 years old. Davis said she was a fantastic mom who always made sure her boys were taken care of and felt loved.
"She was a mom first, and an adventurer second," he said.
Her adventures, the family said, included hiking, skiing, traveling to the beach and attending music concerts.
He said everyone knew her as the life of the party.
"She was over the top fun, almost to the crazy fun," he said, with a small chuckle. "She always made people laugh."
Davis had the chance to see Tonks just a few weeks ago, when he said she unexpectedly stopped by his house while in town.
He said they talked for about three hours, and that she just brought life to every conversation.
"It was a blessing we got that time with her," he said. "I try to tell my girls, you just never know what`s going to happen. There's so many bad things that happen in this world."
A GoFundMe account has been set up for Tonks family.

Teachers Unions Question Snyder on Education
Ahead of Governor Rick Snyder's State of the State Address Thursday, teachers unions are criticizing the governor's education policies. Governor Snyder is expected to highlight some of his successes and future plans for education in Michigan during this week's speech, but some education advocates are criticizing Snyder's record of public education policies. President of the American Federation of Teachers, David Hecker, says while the governor says he values education, his budget reflects different values. He says during Snyder's first year in office, he slashed higher education funding by 15 percent while at the same time, he cut one billion-dollars from the school aid fund to help pay for his corporate tax giveaway.
Last year, Governor Snyder put 65 million-dollars into early childhood education. But Michigan Education Association spokesman Doug Pratt says it was paid for with funding syphoned out of the School Aid Fund. He says it's time the governor and other lawmakers in Lansing value all levels of education, not just early childhood programs.
