Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction. To show the children the right direction at the right time in the right way, our educational counsellors Vikas Jain and Somi Shukla at HelpingBrainz led the educational counselling sessions for 30+ underprivileged children of the senior secondary sections at Seva Samarpan Saraswati Vidya Mandir, Ghaziabad. Previously we conducted Ujjwal – a day with chotus where 200+ children were awarded with School Stationery items and one time meal. Our next aim will be to start the non formal education system under the Teachwithhelpingbrainz scheme.
HelpingBrainz.Org's Child Empowerment Team in their process of creating and empowering rural children, conducted an educational counselling at programme at NVS Gijhore, Noida.
The audience mainly consisted of underpriviledged children from Gijhore and nearby area.
Event's were orchestrated by Somi Shukla and Vikas Jain , and was conducted in coordination with HCLT Foundations.
HelpingBrainz.Org's Educational Counselling Team in their process of creating and empowering underpriviledged children, would be conducting an educational counselling at EFRAH, Madanpur Khadar. Helping Brainz conducted this event in association with HCLT Foundations, Noida.
The audience will mainly consist of 40+ underpriviledged women from Madanpur Khadar and nearby areas.
Event was lead by Somnath Shukla (Project Head, Educational Counselling – HelpingBrainz.Org), also present was Jyoti Suchye (Project Manager, Elderly Care Projects, HelpingBrainz.Org).
"Are women in defence organisations safe and empowered ? This is a prime question which is revolving in any 'patriotic' human being from 200+ countries round the globe, who does have an interest in defense studies! History always questioned about back home psychology of defence personals. They safeguard the living beings of a country, does anyone think about empowering their families, though government just bestow them with some 'extra luxuries'!
Given that, in the above para we were not discussing about the unfortunate Widows and the mighty kids of the brave jawans who sacrifice their life for our safety!
However Helping Brainz took an opportunity to help and empower the Women and Kids from Defense Organisations in India, without considering what Government is doing or not doing for them! Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations geared a 'Women Empowerment' mission for the enthusiastic women and kids of Central Resource Police Force, Dwarka Unit [women here meant are the a). Members of women battalion b). Wives and Widows and c). Children of CRPF personals].
Today we conducted an educational counselling session for the parents, children from various age groups, wherein we talked about Career aspects, educational courses, opportunities, need for higher education, women empowerment etc.
The two hour event was anchored and led by Shubhangi Srivastava (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 1st year forensic science student at Amity University, Noida), the event was managed by Pratik Raj Bishen (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 2nd year BBM student at IMS, Noida ) and Avinash Tiwari ( a Helping Brainz teammate from ModiNagar, UP). Also present was Sanjay Deb Sir, who shared his life experiences and took a session on women empowerment, also present were Ambika P Menon(an educationist), Vineeth Psethu ( a social worker) and Yedhu.
Something which made today's event more special!
"Every child got the right to go to school, and India produces the best technologists and management professionals of world".
So, why we are facing a strong gap in the field of elementary education and educational counselling, or guiding our near ones towards the right path,why there isn't a strong urge in the parents to send their children to a field which they are interested in.
For answering these questions, to motivate the children to think and propagate and to encourage them to right the write, Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations conducted a Rural educational counselling for more than 50 kids in the rural town of Madanpur Khadar, a city located in the outskirts of Delhi. Around 50+ children aged between 15 to 18 attended the counselling session. This is the second time Helping Brainz is conducting an event in a span of two months in the village of Madanpur Khadar.
Learning through experiences, motivation towards education, educational counselling, educational system in India, what and where after 12th/10th, course details, vocational education, training and education through ITIs, vocational study centres, universities, colleges (government, public, private and deemed), government examinations, civil services where some of the major topics covered.
From Helping Brainz we had our Rural Educational Counselling expert Somi Shukla(Project Head, Rural Educational Counselling – Helping Brainz), the Event Manager, Pratik Raj Bishen (Project Leader, WSEC, Helping Brainz), our motion capturer Kumar Madhuraj (Project Leader, CCRIDI, Helping Brainz), Neeraj Shukla (Project Manager, WSEC, Helping Brainz), Gitanshu Khurana (Project Leader, CCRIDI, Helping Brainz) and Yedhu.
The event was conducted at EFRAH Center, Madanpur Khadar.


UTC−12:00 is an identifier for a time offset from UTC of −12 hours. It is the only time zone that is entirely uninhabited on a permanent basis.
Baker Island and Howland Island (uninhabited islands belonging to the United States) as well as the International Date Line West (IDLW) are within this time zone.
UTC−12 is a nautical time zone comprising the high seas between 180° and 172°30′W longitude. Subtract twelve hours from Coordinated Universal Time to obtain the time for this zone. Ships using this time are the last to begin each calendar day.
A number of inhabited islands lie within the longitudinal limits of this time zone, but none of them keeps the date and time of UTC-12. Instead, they keep the time and date (or just the date) of one of the neighbouring zones, usually because they belong, politically, to an island group whose other members lie mostly in the neighbouring time zone.
Since the IDWL time-zone represents the last place on earth where any date exists, it is sometimes used for deadlines and referred to as Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

David Marr's Quarterly Essay on Bill Shorten is strong in many respects. Marr shows Shorten to have sound Labor roots and values and to have done good policy work in areas such as establishing the National Disability Insurance Scheme and navigating workplace relations and the future of financial advice reform, but the essay perhaps underplays the corresponding obligation of ALP leaders to pass on the party in as good or better shape than they have found it.
We cannot convincingly oppose the conservatism of our political opponents with a conservatism of our own; we cannot stand as a Party of change when we fear change in our own structure. We cannot expect the people to trust us with the great decision-making processes of this nation when we parade, by retaining an exclusive and unrepresentative Party structure, our manifest distrust of our own rank and file within the decision-making processes of the Party.
At the time of the party's first ever election for its federal parliamentary leader, both Shorten and Anthony Albanese showed that they were alert to this obligation.
Access: It not always possible for members with family and work commitments, or for members in remote and country areas, to attend monthly Branch commitments. We must investigate and trial ways to offer alternative forms of branch organisation and involvement beyond the constraints of geography. We must find ways to use online platforms to help members engage. This could be connecting through virtual meetings or having the option of virtual branches when and where required, and for our rules to formalise this.
Organisation: In line with better induction and training offerings to members, the Party should also develop simple online training modules for those elected to Branch Officer roles. This will help Branch Officers to be fully supported to develop the skills to run effective branches and to engage branch members. I would encourage ALP members with backgrounds in workplace education and training to assist the Party develop these modules.
Knowledge Sharing: There should be the opportunity to report and apply successful Branch initiatives or learn from thriving Branches so we can continuously improve our operation and engagement. All Branches can benefit from hearing the success of our Branches and I want us to build a new organisational culture around celebrating and applying this success.
Community Connected: We must make sure that Branches are properly connected to their communities and actively engage in locally-based progressive campaigns and activities. This should occur not just at elections but between elections. We must build on and sustain the successful work of our federal election fieldwork campaigns but focus on regular community engagement activities and campaigns between elections.
A signal democratisation success achieved at his instigation has been the adoption by the party's recent national conference of a landmark rules change to allow some 150 of the delegates to future conferences to be elected directly by and from rank-and-file party members. A near miss on his part was the failure of the conference to bring to a vote an intended measure for greater rank-and-file participation in pre-selections.
Less encouraging has been lack of progress towards fulfilment of his branch and member support pledges by the party's state administrations. Seemingly, his behind-the-scenes advocacy of the pledges has as yet fallen on deaf ears, and needs to become much more upfront and assertive in the face of those within the party who are most resistant to reform. State and territory branches must take responsibility for their failings and live up to the federal leader's vision.
Nor is that all. Rampant factional disregard for the party's rules, as exemplified by branch-stacking and the rorting of the requirement for secret ballots in pre-selections and election of party office-holders, has yet to be stamped out. The vexed question of relations between the party's rank-and-file members and its union affiliates, and the mutual misunderstandings and suspicions to which they needlessly give rise, remains unaddressed. For want of action on these fronts, many of the 15,000 new members who flocked to the party following the leadership contest or in protest against the excesses of the Abbott government are being lost to it. The challenge is to retain these newcomers by improving the quality of the membership experience and building up the capacity of branches and office-holders.
What our troubled times require is the reinvention of the party as it once was – the cutting political edge of a wider social movement that includes grassroots members, unions, communities and community groups on an equal footing. History will honour – and the electorate reward – the leader who accomplishes this.

CJEU judgment in case C-175/11 H.I.D., 31 January 2013
Request for a preliminary ruling - Common European Asylum System - Application by a national of a third country seeking refugee status - Directive 2005/85/EC - Article 23 - Possibility of prioritising the processing of asylum applications - National procedure applying in a prioritised procedure for the examination of applications by persons belonging to a certain category defined on the basis of nationality or country of origin - Right to an effective judicial remedy - Article 39 of Directive 2005/85 - Concept of "court or tribunal" within the meaning of that article
National proceedings
The applicants in national proceedings contested the compatibility of the application by Ireland of the prioritised asylum procedure to all Nigerians on the basis of their nationality with Article 23 of Directive 2005/85. Further, they contended that the possibility to lodge an appeal with the Irish Refugee Appeals Tribunal did not constitute an effective remedy in the sense of Article 39 of the same Directive. Such Tribunal could not in their view be considered "a court or tribunal" in the sense of Article 267 TFEU as it is not independent owing to the existence of functional links with the Minister of Justice.
Questions referred for a preliminary ruling
- Is a Member State precluded by the provisions of [Directive 2005/85] or by general principles of European Union law from adopting administrative measures which require that a class of asylum applications defined on the basis of the nationality or country of origin of the asylum applicant be examined and determined according to an accelerated or prioritised procedure?
- Is Article 39 of [Directive 2005/85] when read in conjunction with its recital 27 and Article 267 TFEU to be interpreted to the effect that the effective remedy thereby required is provided for in national law when the function of review or appeal in respect of the first instance determination of applications is assigned by law to an appeal to the Tribunal established under Act of Parliament with competence to give binding decisions in favour of the asylum applicant on all matters of law and fact relevant to the application notwithstanding the existence of administrative or organisational arrangements which involve some or all of the following:
-The retention by a government Minister of residual discretion to override a negative decision on an application;
-The existence of organisational or administrative links between the bodies responsible for first instance determination and the determination of appeals;
-The fact that the decision making members of the Tribunal are appointed by the Minister and serve on a part-time basis for a period of three years and are remunerated on a case by case basis;
-The retention by the Minister of powers to give directions of the kind specified in ss. 12, 16 (2B) and 16 (11) of the [Refugee Act]?
Consideration of the questions
The CJEU's answer to the first question is that the possibility for Member States to provide for the prioritised processing of an asylum application must be interpreted in the light of the discretion which Member States enjoy in relation to the organisation of the processing of such applications. As to the principle of non-discrimination based on nationality, the Court notes that in matters of asylum and under the system established by Directive 2005/85, the country of origin of the applicant and consequently his nationality play a decisive role. Furthermore, the Directive allows Member States to designate countries of origin as safe and to apply a prioritised procedure where an application is considered unfounded because the applicant is from a safe country of origin within the terms of the Direction. Hence, the nationality of the applicant for asylum is an element which may be taken into consideration to justify the prioritised processing of his application. As long as such procedure does not deprive applicants of the guarantees applicable to all forms of procedure according to Article 23 of the Directive, there will be no discrimination. The Court therefore rules that:
Article 23 (3) and (4) of Council Directive 2005/85/EC of 1 December 2005 (...) must be interpreted as not precluding a Member State from examining by way of a prioritised or accelerated procedure, in compliance with the basic principles and guarantees set out in Chapter II of that directive, certain categories of asylum applications defined on the basis of the criterion of the nationality or country of origin of the applicant.
With respect to the second question, the CJEU applies the test of Article 267 TFEU to determine whether the Irish Refugee Appeals Tribunal can be considered a court or tribunal in the sense of Article 39 of the Directive and whether it can constitute the effective remedy foreseen by that Article. The CJEU concludes that the Refugee Appeals Tribunal is established by law, is permanent and applies rules of law. Furthermore, when it decides in favour of the asylum seeker, this decision is binding upon the Minister of Justice, the authority which ultimately grants asylum. The rules for the appointment of its members cannot call into question its independence. Although the rules on dismissal are not precise, the Court establishes, on the basis of Recital 27 of the Directive's preamble, that the Irish system needs to be assessed as a whole in order to determine whether it is capable of guaranteeing an effective remedy. From this point of view, the Court observes that the decisions of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal can be appealed to the High Court and further appealed to the Supreme Court. These means of redress protect the Appeals Tribunal against external interference. Therefore, the criterion of independence is satisfied as well and the Irish system must be regarded as respecting the right to an effective remedy. The Court rules:
Article 39 of Directive 2005/85 must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation, such as that as issue in the main proceedings, which allows an applicant for asylum either to lodge an appeal against the decision of the determining authority before a court or a tribunal such as the Refugee Appeals Tribunal (Ireland), and to bring an appeal against the decision of that tribunal before a higher court such as the High Court (Ireland), or to contest the validity of that determining authority's decision before the High Court, the judgments of which may be the subject of an appeal to the Supreme Court (Ireland).

Even German centre-left daily Die Zeit has the headline today: Germany Dampens Cancun Expectations.
And the singer of the Pink Floyd song was Bianca Antoinette, says youtube, just repeating this here so everybody notices.
Slightly OT: the most viewed Slovak online newspaper SME.sk mentions breaking of decades long minimum records. What is astonishing, the article says "Meteorologists agree that with these low temperatures, after 20 years of warm winters Slovakia reverts back to traditional winters from 60/80ties". SME is right-wing/liberal paper, but its propaganda before COP15 last year was awful. So this low profile article is rather surprising.
Mathematics book by Claes Johnson banned from Swedish university – it contained a critique of climate models.
Germany in Europe and Japan in Asia bailing out, that should be enough to kill any "substantial" accord in Cancun. But if they will, China and India will be laughing at them.
I'm not saying Germany is bailing out – they just don't see any breakthrough coming, and so have written it off. BUT if we suddenly hear that Merkel is jumping on a plane for Cancun, then of course expect the worst. Then it'll be time to say hello!
Let's face it, we don;t know what will be decided until the Conference over.
Lord Monckton made clear that complicated proposals were introduced one day before a voting session causing people to vote on documents they have not read.
According to Lord Monckton hundreds of new agencies and commissions have been erected and nobody knows how much tax payer money this will cost.
I prefer to wait for the final press conference.
Massive media attention for Climate Change subjects today.
Why is it that I have this nagging feeling they are going to serve us a lemon.
Well, Germany is a industrial country and the lobby controls the government. Angela Merkel is only a figure of fun. I'd say in that case:"the tail wags the dog".
Nonsense. One day the industry bosses look like demigods, the next day they fight for the survival of their companies – it always depends on the markets. And the wind and solar industries here in Germany are the ones who have the most lobbyists – they used all that subsidy money to build up their influence; so it's always industry against industry, fighting for pork.
But you forgot to say that the politician distribute our money for the subsidy. I think the German electorate is taken for a fool. Edmund Stoiber said an adequate sentence for it: "Nur die dümmsten kälber wählen ihre Metzger selber".
Well, yes: it's a feedback process – Renewable industries get subsidies, lobby the government, a government might let the subsidies grow some more etc. etc., and that is how the renewables sector and the amount of subsidies grew.
But also notice that 2010 saw a 35% reduction in PV feed in tariffs (slashed in 2 rounds; the scheduled 15% reduction and another reduction in the middle of the year); and that 2011 will see further strong reductions.
BTW, i think Edmund Stoiber was quoting Bertold Brecht there.
You count that as a breakthrough?

The mobile device and infrastructure industries continued their familiar yet increasingly complex dance at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona: Consumers and enterprises receive ever more devices to choose from, while carriers scramble to figure out how to support, deploy and make money off the mix.
New devices with yet more operating systems are aimed at creating a class of inexpensive smartphones designed for those still vast audiences that are not using either a BlackBerry, an iPhone or an Android-based handset.
At the intersection of soaring mobile Internet traffic, enabled by ever more sophisticated client devices, and of rising infrastructure investments, in both enhanced 3G and powerful 4G networks, is an industrywide experiment to create new services along with new revenue models.
"Right now, the service landscape [from which] mobile operators actually are gaining revenue in mobile data is very thin, with most of the revenues coming from data service subscriptions that are flat fees," says Bettina Tratz-Ryan, a research vice president with Gartner Deutschland. "So, in order to justify the LTE deployments, which need more cells than in a 3G network to build out to higher bandwidths, mobile operators need to build out services with greater customer experiences. Those can be defined for instance in terms of quality, flexibility, and blended with social media for consumers or with unified communications for business users."
Windows Phone: risen from the dead?
On the device side, the biggest story out of MWC was Microsoft's radically redesigned Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. The demonstration was only that – showing the new user interface – but it deftly blends typography and minimalist icon design in an easily navigable arrangement; applications, content, and information clustered in "hubs" that have common organization and navigation themes.
Microsoft deflected all questions about the kernel, new developer tools, Silverlight support, what kind of browser it has, or anything else deemed to be part of the "platform."
Nonetheless, the user interface impressed observers. "[T]his was the radical change for which consumers have been waiting in order to reengage with Microsoft," writes Avi Greengart, an analyst with Current Analysis, a technology advisory firm, assessing the news in an online post. "Windows Phone 7 series is competitive across the board – for entertainment, enterprise use, and personal productivity."
Microsoft didn't directly address changes or improvements aimed at enterprise users. But the demonstration showed the "Office Hub" for the Microsoft Office Suite, including the OneNote notewriting application, and important access to SharePoint, Microsoft's enterprise collaboration, workflow, and document management system.
But there's still skepticism about whether the OS can catch up to Apple, RIM, and, increasingly, Android. Veteran Microsoft watcher Joe Wilcox wrote in a post that Windows Phone 7 was "dead on arrival." Microsoft has lost too much market share and mindshare, and faces too much successful competition from Apple and Google Android to resuscitate its mobile offering, he argues.
Both ZTE Corporation and High Tech Computer (HTC) unveiled lower-cost smartphones, making use of Qualcomm's silicon and its recently introduced Brew Mobile Platform (Brew MP) operating system, which incorporates its Brew application framework. Among other things, it supports Adobe Flash. Both companies continue to roll out Windows Mobile and Android phones.
The ZTE Bingo will connect via HSDPA, with 7.2Mbps download speeds, has a variety of built-in popular web services and applications, a 3-megapixel camera, a 3.2-inch touch screen, and A-GPS. The HTC Smart will use HTC's Sense user interface, has a 300MHz processor, the same camera resolution, a slightly smaller screen. Via Brew MP, both can support Adobe Flash. No prices were announced by German mobile carrier Telefonica. The carrier said it will offer HTC Smart "at less than half the cost of smartphones today," according to a company executive.
The device innovation highlights the struggles mobile carriers continue to have in a rapidly changing industry. Google CEO Eric Schmidt told his MWC audience that Google software engineers now focus development first on mobile platforms, and secondarily the desktop. The reason for that shift points to the tectonic changes taking place in the mobile industry.
With its aggressive expansion of mobile search and applications, and linking these with location services and mobile advertizing, Google has the potential to recreate the mobile industry in its own image, where services are free to the end user and paid for by advertising, according to Jagdish Rebello, director and principal analyst at iSuppli.


Cosmetic dentistry refers to the ever growing field of dental procedures and treatments that can enhance both the beauty and function of your natural smile.
Most patients understand that teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental crowns and invisible braces will give them a whiter, straighter and more aesthetically pleasing smile, but Dr. Gorsky emphasizes the important role that cosmetic dental procedures play in addressing dental problems and improving overall dental health.
Cosmetic dental treatments can address damaged teeth, misaligned teeth and misshapen teeth, all of which can be the underlying cause of dental problems that can compromise long term oral health. Dr. Gorsky may recommend a cosmetic procedure that can repair and straighten teeth and restore lasting dental health.
Straight, healthy teeth are easier to clean and an important part of a stable, comfortable bite. Dr. Gorsky is a highly trained and experienced dentist and offers the cosmetic dental procedures necessary to address both dental health and cosmetic concerns.
Yes, we want everyone with bright, confident smiles that last a lifetime, which is why, when restoring teeth, we pay very close attention to having properly functioning jaw joints and muscles. This way, cosmetic dentistry performed in our office will have greater longevity!
Then many advancements in cosmetic dentistry procedures and materials have increased treatment options and improved cost. Dr. Gorsky works with patients to create a plan of treatment that will satisfy their dental health goals and their budget.
In many cases, treatment plans can be phased to accommodate the use of HSA/FSA dollars and we also offer third party financing with Citi Health Card for qualified patients.
Dr. Gorsky welcomes new patients from many local areas and our Manhattan office is convenient to Midtown, the Upper East Side and many other communities in New York City. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Gorsky contact us at 212.235.1769 or request one online.

A medical mystery: Cluster of patients struck with rare amnesia
Posted 4:35 pm, January 28, 2017, by CNN Wire
What started with four patients with a puzzling form of amnesia turned into 14, and doctors are searching for others.
Dr. Jed Barash, a neurologist in the Boston area, noticed a pattern between 2012 and 2015. Four patients, mysteriously stricken with a sudden amnesia, had the same rare finding on MRI: A pair of tiny structures deep in their brains, called the hippocampus, was completely knocked out on both sides.
The hippocampus is a seahorse-shaped structure that plays a role in memory and emotion. The patients could remember earlier things, but they couldn't make new memories, a phenomenon called anterograde amnesia.
Also peculiar, three of the four patients tested positive for opioids. The fourth, who was not tested, was known to have a history of opioid abuse. The patients, ages 22 to 52, came to the hospital between October 2012 and November 2015.
"We couldn't really address what was causing this," said Dr. Alfred DeMaria Jr., the state epidemiologist for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. DeMaria was contacted by Barash, who could not be reached for comment, to help investigate the cluster.
Doctors are trying to uncover whether these patients reveal an emerging syndrome related to substance use or whether it's something else altogether.
Picking the brain for clues
The pattern seen on these patients' MRIs was so rare that it had been described in only a handful of earlier case reports, including a couple of patients with cocaine abuse, one with carbon monoxide poisoning and one patient in France who had inhaled heroin, an opioid.
But now faced with the first known cluster of its kind, the Massachusetts Department of Health sent out a statewide alert in February, hoping to keep doctors on the lookout for additional cases.
They found 10 other patients who had been seen in eastern Massachusetts hospitals between 2012 and 2016, bringing the total to 14. All but one patient tested positive for opioids or had a history of opioid use. But none of these cases was fresh, making the search for a culprit all the more difficult.
"All we had was the medical records," DeMaria said. "We couldn't go back (in time)."
Though the MRI findings were described as "ischemic," meaning there was a lack of blood flow to that part of the brain, it is unlikely that a stroke or lack of oxygen alone would cause such a specific and symmetrical injury to the hippocampus, said DeMaria.
"We're really looking for a toxic effect," he said.
DeMaria wondered whether the spate of new synthetic drugs and unknown contaminants on the illicit market might have something to do with it, but "we don't even know if it's related to drugs," he said.
The story of Patient HM
The patients' anterograde amnesia, along with their hippocampal injuries, reminded DeMaria of a famous lobotomy case from the 1950s: a patient known to most by his initials, HM, who lived most of his life without a hippocampus and suffered a similar, though more severe, anterograde amnesia.
Because the lack of a hippocampus may be similar to having an injured and nonfunctional one, some think that the Massachusetts cluster can reveal a lot about memory and the brain, as HM did.
"He's one of the rare anonymous celebrities that you find in the history of science," said Luke Dittrich, author of "Patient H.M.: A Story of Memory, Madness, and Family Secrets."
When HM was 27 years old, in 1953, he had an experimental lobotomy to cure his severe epilepsy. The neurosurgeon who performed the lobotomy, which removed HM's hippocampus and other surrounding structures, was Dittrich's grandfather.
The surgery cured HM of his epilepsy, but it had a major unintended consequence: He couldn't form new memories.
"He lived in 30-second increments," Dittrich said. "The experiences in his life just washed off of him."
But his personal tragedy was a boon to science, said Dittrich. Prior to HM, there was no consensus on which parts of the brain might be responsible for creating memories; it was widely thought that the brain worked as a whole to do so.
For over 50 years, memory scientists conducted tests on HM. When he died in 2008, his brain was sent to the University of California, San Diego. It was frozen, sliced into 2,401 sections and placed online for the general public to see.
"A lot of what we understand (about) how memory works has been built on top of the seminal studies that were done with HM," Dittrich said.
Questions about the brain remain
Another curious aspect of HM's amnesia, which may not be present in the Massachusetts patients, was that it "bleached away" the narrative of his memories before the surgery, said Dittrich. HM could remember facts about his childhood but not the stories to go along with them.
"We can all relate to memory loss," Dittrich said. "But HM's amnesia was even more alien to us than we typically imagine it to be."
Barash's descriptions of the Massachusetts patients did not include similar problems with prior memories, and some even showed improvement months later. The youngest patient, a 19-year-old and the only one without a history of opioid use, no longer had short-term memory loss five months later, though he also developed seizures.
Still, Dittrich wonders what their similarities and differences might unearth about the human brain: why some recovered and some didn't, whether some have issues with episodic memories in the past and what other cognitive effects their injuries might reveal.
"It's a terrible tragedy," Dittrich said, adding that the Massachusetts patients could nevertheless be "extremely valuable … to memory researchers."
DeMaria said more research is needed to understand what happened and whether the link to opioids is more than coincidence. He also hopes doctors in other states keep an eye out for other cases that might be missed. For patients who test positive for opioids, doctors may easily mistake the signs of anterograde amnesia for general intoxication.
"Maybe nobody was looking for this," DeMaria said. "Maybe this isn't new. Maybe it was happening all along."

So I've always been a huge reader. Like, ALWAYS. When I was about six, I was desperate for "chapter books," so my mom took me to the bookstore. She picked out an early-reader book for me, the kind with about twenty words per page. I picked out a YA book called Megan's Ghost. She didn't think I'd be able to handle it, but I was determined it was what I wanted. I devoured it in a few days. In fact, I read so much as a kid, my parents had to actually cut my reading time short and make me play outside.
My love of reading is what gave me a love of writing. My first stories were mostly copies of whatever I was reading at the time. You've got to start somewhere, right? Katrina Lantz recently did a post on the importance of reading for writers. And it is SO IMPORTANT. In reading so many books, I absorbed most of my early writing knowledge without ever cracking a book on craft. Reading so much gave me an instinct for some of the smaller things like grammar, and even some of the bigger things like plot structure. Sometimes, I'll re-read my favorite books on purpose with an eye toward improving things like my own character development.
That's not to say you don't want to study craft. But reading is not only good for learning story craft. It's also one of the best ways I've found to get creative. Reading opens your imagination to a new world, and while your imagination is open, it's more receptive to knew ideas. When I'm not entirely sure what the plot of my Shiny New Idea is going to be, or when I'm stuck on revisions, I read.
So, my friends, what is one of your recent favorite reads? (I loved Divergent by Veronica Roth.) What has reading taught you about writing?
I know I could read more than I do, but I try to avoid reading while in the heart of drafting. There's an unnatural tendency of mine to absorb an author's style and abandon my voice.
Goosebumps got me started on wanting to read.
My last read was The Scorch Trails. Excellent insight for writing a good sequel. I also have The Forgotten Locket. It's just sitting there, waiting for me to get these edits done. Great post, Shallee!
You always have the best posts. I love all the information and inspiration. I have been a huge reader since I was young too, but I think you've got me beat! I love the story of you devouring that big book at such a young age. That totally rocks.
I enjoyed Divergent as well and Everneath was awesome. I just read The Demon's Surrender by Sarah Rees Brennan which finished up her trilogy. There are so many things I love about that series.
OMG - reading has taught me almost everything I know about writing. I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't have read so much!!
Impossible by Nancy Werlin is one book that I recently read and fell in love with.
I've been reading for as along as I can remember. I grew up on G.A. Henty's historical fiction novels. I started writing during middle school and kept on through high school. I didn't start stuyding craft until after I graduated. All that reading gave me an ear for a good story though; for pace and character and setting.
My favourite recent read was The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, I think I read it in three days.It was fairly short but totally absorbing.
I critique for a couple of FABULOUS published and agented writers. I've learned SO SO Much from ready what they've written.
I find that I learn more about story crafting in books that seems simple - The Unwritten Rule - total page turner, even though the premise was fairly simple.
Looking For Alaska- AMAZING READ. OCKLER - I want to write like her.
Jandy Nelson - The SKy is Everywhere will always be on my favorites list.
All of these books have a very simple premise, yet I couldn't put them down. I understand the page turning factor when life or well-being is on the line, but when it's something much simpler, I think it's a gift to keep people frantic until the end.
Yep, I enjoyed Divergent too. It's nice and pacey. Reading has expanded my vocab, taught me about pacing, the importance of conflict and correct continuity. It's opened my mind to a whole lot of possibilities. I love reading!
And, of course, by reading, you're subconsciously learning the craft of writing. Personally, I am often too immersed in a story to really learn how to write from reading. However, I do learn from reading what I enjoy and what I don't, and that helps me craft my own story.
I can't imagine a writer not also loving to read! It's like a musician who doesn't like to listen to music LOL. Lately I've been enjoying the Sue Grafton alphabet mystery series.
I just read Thirteen Reasons Why, which I loved, and Uglies, which reminded me that sometimes it's good when a character does something surprising, something unexpected.
Recent favorite . . . My Unfair Godmother by Janette Rallison. She is so funny. She makes me wish I had thought of the idea first. But she's really good at blending the outer and inner struggle. I've learned a lot from her.
P.S. Super cute new picture. I love your hair!
I love how you said reading instills instinct for the craft of writing. I truly believe that. When I read, I am a better writer. I feel inspired and feel I can see the story in a way that helps me find ways to improve.
I totally agree that reading is a great education on the craft of writing. I also loved Divergent. Another book I use like a manual is Matched. It is so lyrical and poetic, and I try to steal some of that mojo from it.
I think this is a universal truth - All writers should be readers. I agree with you 100%. I don't know how you could write without reading.
Great points. I like what you said about how reading gives you insights into the subtleties of grammar and plot. So true!

How to build a Zeppelin
Once again, short on time, enough so that I regret to report that his entry shall undoubtedly suffer. In the machine migration I appear to have left some nifty Word macros behind that allowed me to do a certain amount of basic HTML in that app without having to resort to cleaning up the beast's unruly, overfeatured HTML. So I'll take a crack at using the new-ish version of ecto, which in the past has had some uncomfortable interactions with my (certainly crufted-up) server-side perl. Well, it's still early days yet, a bit of trial and error, which happily brings us to the subject of today's Blimp Week II installment.
A word about vocabulary, here: while this series is collectively referred to as Blimp Week, in fact I hope to write only about rigid airships this week. Rigid airships are known collectively as dirigibles, and the specific dirigibles designed by the airship company founded by Ferdinand von Zeppelin and associated engineers are known as Zeppelins. Today, a new company with the same name (almost) builds and flies the modern airships called Zeppelin NT. As Viv pointed out in a comment yesterday, you can purchase one, if you like.
So how does one build an airship? Well, in January I highlighted the card model of the never-built Vickers Transoceanic Airship from the terrific Currell's Card Models. He also offers the British R-101 airship and more, but we've covered all of this already. For these airships, a true ruler, a sharp blade, keen eyes, and a steady hand will get you far. Elmer's glue will close the gap. Of course, cardmodeling leaves something to be desired in the didactics, since the paper itself provides the rigidity for the models. (More on the ill-starred British aviation programme may be taken in at the Airship Heritage Trust or, for Francophones, Les dirigeables R-100 et R-101.)
I'm sorry to keep pointing out prior art, but the next links due for perusal were covered here in July. Dannysoar, (an amazing storehouse of aviation gimcrackery) provides the basic info on some antique stick-and-tissue model dirigibles at Zepps, while Building Airships and Flying-Machines comes to us from the good offices of one Glenn Curtiss, noted aviation pioneer. Lucky for us, we can fact check his ass with the slightly more modern Details of Modern Airships, 1927.
For a more hands-on approach, the preferred methodology is the rustlin' up of historical photos and obtaining plan drawings of the ship you are interested in building. The good news is that there are many places to view images of the historical ships on the web. The bad news is that there are very few plan drawings available online. Here are two.
(Apologies for the too-small thumbs. ecto didn't have an obvious image-upload options dialog.) The image above is from this page of construction views of the USS Akron; it's a part of this U. S. Navy collection of vintage aviation equipment photos. The image below is from a forgotten source, but is clearly a comparison drawing showing the Shenandoah and a proposed but not-yet-built airship.
Where do you get plans? Well, many libraries list collections of lighter-than-air related material online. Interesting collections of ephemera surface for auction, as well. But the only places I found that offer access to a wide range of plans are the somewhat related ABAC ("THE ASSOCIATION OF BALLOON AND AIRSHIP CONSTRUCTORS") and one "G. Wright – Airships." The ABAC apparently has a collectively-maintained library that you pay dues to get access to, and Mr. Wright sells plans – lots of plans – of any kind of airship, as well as a wide range of LTA-related stuff. The ABAC notes that issue 27-1 of their newsletter is available online, in PDF. The page does not mention that issues 22-1 and 27-2 are also available. 27-1 has a highly detailed overview of "Great Britain's 23X Class Rigid Airships," by Kent O'Grady, which appeals to me greatly but which may also be too technical for me to properly absorb. I look forward to it.
Given that you've plan in hand, however obtained, what's next? In general, the accepted practice would appear to be one of obtaining large amounts of balsa wood, and pinning the wood to the plan to be shaped and cut. A large number of intermediate steps then take place, which we shall leave as an exercise for the reader. The finished product may not, in all cases, be quite as remarkable as this World War 1 combat zeppelin, the L31 (see the Dawn of Aces section in How to Fly a Zeppelin).
These model pages, by the way, come from the The Zeppelin Library, a venerable collection of zeppelinalia. The highlight of the model pages, though, is clearly the work seen here, by Ed Gailliot. Featured on the page are three model sets, so detailed and of such scale that they clearly deserve a home in a museum display. The first of the models depicts the crew quarters and aircraft hangar bays of the USS Macon and USS Akron, complete with aircraft and tiny beds, and appear to contain elaborate moving parts. The scale 1/32, but is not visually given. In a picture of Ed standing next to his handiwork the bay model appears to be about four feet wide, making it something like five or six feet long.
The next model is of the great airship hangar in Akron, Ohio, home of Goodyear, and featured on the logo below. The model appears to be several feet long and includes the Akron, a mooring mast, and a tiny Navy patrol blimp, of the kind we think of when the Goodyear Blimp comes to mind.
Finally, and in some ways most fascinating, are the images of Ed's quite large model of the Hindenburg's passenger decks, including both the crew quarters and the staterooms, smoking area, dining room, and so forth. More detailed images of all of these models would be a great and wonderful thing, as would a chance to hear Ed discussing his creation process. Here's hoping that they are safely stored away and destined for a warm, well-budgeted museum display somewhere.
This concludes the modeling portion of our flight this week.

Dodge County community comes together as COVID-19 deaths, cases rise
A Grandfather's Love | Central High School basketball player dedicates recovery to his late grandparents
Quay Primas lost both of his grandfathers in the last year, one to a heart attack and another to COVID-19. He's dedicating his recovery after an injury to them both.
Author: Avery Braxton
Updated: 6:34 PM EST November 4, 2020
MACON, Ga. — One of the best basketball talents in Central Georgia will not be on the floor this year.
Central High School's Quay Primas will spend the year recovering after a knee injury.
He had a special reason to play this season after losing a grandfather to COVID-19. Now he'll look to come back stronger than ever.
Central Georgia is used to seeing Primas dominating on the basketball floor — making baskets, snagging rebounds over defenders, and swatting shots into the stands.
But Primas' current reality is walking on crutches and weekly trips to OrthoGeorgia Orthopedic Specialists for physical therapy.
"When I first did it, I didn't think it was bad. I kept playing on it. Kept going in the tournament, playing on it. When I went to the doctor for my MRI and he told me I tore my ACL. I about cried," Primas said.
A torn ACL and a small meniscus tear will sideline Primas most, if not all, of his senior year. He says it's "heartbreaking" because the basketball court is his sanctuary.
"Without basketball I don't know what I would be doing. I can't even see myself without playing basketball. I love it to death," Primas said.
Central Head Coach Andre Taylor has been in that sanctuary with Primas plenty.
"To see him get out there for the first time and see him score that first basket and how excited he was, I just knew then that it was going to be something special in this kid. Every year he's grown more and more," Taylor said.
When Primas was in the 8th grade, his grandfather on his father's side, Lucious Primas, introduced him to the game, but their relationship was way more than basketball.
"He made me be a great person. He took in when my dad wasn't there for me," Primas said. "He did a lot for me. He taught me a lot of things. He raised me, we did a lot of things together."
It was Lucious and Primas' grandfather on his mother's side, Sanford Kendrick, who kept Quay out of trouble.
Quay lost Lucious to a heart attack in 2019. In April, Kendrick died from coronavirus. It's a death that rocked Quay to his core.

"I had never heard him scream like that when my father passed. It took affect on him," Primas' mother, Nikki Primas, said.
"It was like losing my best friend. He did a lot for me. I just wanted to repay him for everything he did," Primas said.
Now, his focus is on recovery.
He likely won't return to the floor for the Chargers this season, but he'll still be in Macon for years to come. He's committed to play basketball for Mercer University.
"Get that degree for your grandfather and I know he'll be so much more happy with that degree you get and the high school diploma than anything you do on the court," Taylor said.
When Quay does return to his sanctuary. There'll be new angels guiding his steps.
"I think they'll be smiling, looking down on me, 'He's gonna get it done. He's gonna be the one to get there for us. Play there for us.' Make it big hopefully," Quay said.
Though Primas will be sidelined this year, he'll be cheering on his teammates. Central's first game of the year will be Nov. 27.

On Tuesday, January 17, Year 5 and 6 pupils and the school's choir performed at the famed London venue to sing at the Young Voices concert.
The concert is the biggest school choir in the world with over 7,000 other school children singing their hearts out and offers both fun and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both staff and children.
The children had been learning lots of different types of songs leading up to their tip, with genres ranging from rock to folk to pop.
Following the trip the school said: "Children from Benhams and the choir were lucky enough to visit the O2 arena to perform in the Young Voices Concert. This was a really happy day and a great experience for everyone. Thank you to the parents who came along to help.
"It was a fantastic day and was enjoyed enormously by all."

How a love of nature can bring our divided country together
Paul Powlesland
When Extinction Rebellion activists recently gripped the attention of the nation, it brought into sharp focus the scale and urgency of the task this country faces to halt the climate crisis. It sent out a call for action that continues to ripple through every community. This important political moment cannot be buried under analysis of the European elections, the Tory leadership election and the Brexit debate.
A group of us, including nature protectors and political and environmental activists, took that first step in parliament earlier this month. We were brought together by Labour Together MPs Shabana Mahmood and Jim McMahon to talk about something that unites us all – a shared love of nature.
From people living in small towns and villages, who feel a deep connection to place and the countryside that surrounds them, to the millennial city dweller, who dutifully waters a flowering window basket or houseplant, we know that a love of nature is something that can bring our divided country together.
It can help us to appreciate how much more in common we have with each other, and above all else it can help to build a shared national commitment to saving our environment. A national commitment that rests on a shared love of the natural world and equal access to it for everyone.
Waking up to birdsong is one of life's great privileges, and we owe it to our children to preserve that experience for them, not leave them with silence. A baby born today in our capital city may hope to do and see many wonderful things, but as they grow up they will not be able to look to the night sky and see the stars. Few things in life bring as much pleasure as a walk in the British countryside, but far too many will never experience it.
The left has a strong tradition of opening up nature to everyone – the Ramblers Act, the Allotment Act and the founding of our national parks. Labour must once again discover that zeal to connect people and nature, to open up the countryside, to educate children in what can be lost if we don't look after it and to protect nature from the destructive side of economic growth.
To tackle climate chaos and secure democratic consent for the necessary changes, we must start constructing a broader political consensus for action. This means negotiation, listening and understanding where we are all starting from.
Below are just some of the ideas our group came up with.
Giving a tree to every citizen for any major life event (e.g. registering a birth, a marriage or gaining UK citizenship)
Twinning inner-city communities with rural communities to developed a shared understanding (just as we used town twinnings to build peace in Europe after World War Two)
Giving local communities more control over, ownership of and access to river banks and woodlands
Offering a free railcard for every young person to explore the country
But we can't do this alone as 20 people in one room at one time. We're asking you to share your ideas for how we can build a broader politics of nature here. A child born today should live to see the next century, and we believe that every child should live with and in the appreciation of nature. That is one of the most important ways we can build solidarity to overcome the climate and ecological crisis.

Nudisti per caso (Les Textiles) è un film del 2004 diretto da Franck Landron.

Il titolo originale, Les Textiles, letteralmente "I tessili", allude al soprannome dispregiativo con cui i naturisti appellano chi, al pari della protagonista del film, sceglie di rimanere vestito.

Trama
Sophie e Oliver sono una coppia che decide di esaudire il desiderio di acquistare una casa al mare. L'acquisto però viene fatto senza visitare preventivamente l'immobile. Solo al loro primo soggiorno scoprono che è all'interno di un villaggio naturista, ambiente che prima non avevano mai frequentato.

Self Realization or Transformation?
Having miraculously crossed the Sea of Reeds into which the evil oppressors of the Jewish People were drowned, the Jewish People were faced with a new challenge. Bitter Water. What to do? A beating sun in the middle of the Sinai Dessert, nowhere to turn, the only water to be found is bitter and undrinkable.
G‑d tells Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water that will transform its taste. And so it was, ". . . he threw it into the water and the water became sweetened". (Exodus 15:25)
What magical wood was this? Our Sages differ on this matter. The Midrash explains that this was oleander – one of the most bitter, and to certain animals, even poisonous plants. Yet according to the Zohar, the kabalistic work of 'light', this was a branch from the Tree of Life.
Here's the question: Since this entire episode was miraculous in nature, for one piece of wood could not possibly transform the taste of millions of gallons of water (the amount necessary to satiate an entire nation), why the need to discuss the type of wood. What significance is there to this mysterious wood? And what can this teach us?
Each of us at one point or other has had to face 'bitter waters'; the forces of evil, both from within as well and from without, that attempt to veer us off track It is here that G‑d, in His infinite wisdom, provides the secret to transforming and sweetening the bitterness and evil. Throw in a piece of wood.
According to the Midrash this means self realization: Make the bitter water "realize" how bad it is to be bitter, so that of its own accord, they become sweet. Show the evil how bad it is, so that it no longer wishes to be evil. Throw in a some oleander.
Yet the Zohar and Jewish Mysticism take a different approach – transformation: One branch of life; one ray of light; one kind word, have the capability to transform a bitter flavor into a sweet one. Revealing a much greater good makes evil pale away.
"One candle can dispel an entire room of darkness." – Let's do a Mitzvah today and transform the world.

The Egypt Within Us...
This week's Torah portion is, in a sense, one of the most important sections of the Torah. We begin discussing a watershed event in Jewish history - the Exodus from Egypt.
The Hebrew term for Egypt, Mitzrayim, means barriers, representing all the forces that obstruct a person from becoming who he or she really is. Every one of us professes our own inner "Mitzrayim," those voices or powers that hold us down from living a truly meaningful and profound life. It may be anxiety, fear, addiction, arrogance, loneliness, despair, insecurity, laziness, dishonesty or envy. It may stem from negative life experiences, such as a dysfunctional family, broken relationships, health problems, mental challenges, financial defeat, or, heaven forbid, loss of loved ones. These challenges, among many more, can bring about a state of psychological exile, in which we remain stuck in the quagmire of torment, paralysis and hopelessness, never discovering our inner calling and potential.
In contrast, the Biblical story of exodus embodies the human potential to liberate itself from physical, mental and spiritual slavery. It captures our power to transcend the barriers that obstruct the heart's inner glow; our ability to encounter a beacon of freedom beneath the stratums of the psyche; our courage to discover our inner power and dignity.
No matter where you come from and how low your starting point may be, G‑d can reach out to you. You too can transcend your limitations, and become free.
True Freedom . . .
The constant recurring refrain echoed repeatedly throughout this week's Torah portion is G‑d's message to the Egyptian monarch, Pharaoh, "Let My people go".
Many of us have heard this line before. But for some reason we stop a bit too short and don't make it to the punch line of the message: "Let My people go that they may serve Me". G‑d is sending us a powerful message: "Being free means serving Me".
But how? G‑d's laws seem so restricting: do this, don't do this – that doesn't sound like freedom?
It would depend, then, on our definition of 'freedom'. If being free means the removal of all constraints on our development and self-expression; the ability to follow our every whim and fancy. Then a Jew serving G‑d can hardly be considered a free man.
Judaism defines freedom very differently. Acting as we please without rules or limits, Judaism tells us, is the epitome of enslavement. For in so doing, our urges, drives and addictions have enslaved us.
True freedom is the ability to express who we really are; to transcend and be free of our craves and urges. The Torah is the instruction manual to freedom. Even its seemingly restrictive laws are only there to allow us to tap in to our inner self. Because sometimes it is only through restrictions that our true self can come out.
We all mirror G‑d and were created in his image – that is who we truly are. Let's do a mitzvah today and be truly free!
Is my name Max or Moshe?

How important is the preservation of the "ethnic" aspect of Judaism?
Over the course of the centuries, Jews were always distinguishable from their fellow citizen not only by their unique beliefs and rituals, but also by their distinctly Jewish culture. For the most part they conversed in their own language; whether it was Ladino, Yiddish, or any of the other "Jewish" languages which sprouted up over time. Jews were also distinguishable by their uniquely Jewish garb and names. In whichever country they landed, the Jewish community managed to create a sub-culture which effectively separated them from their co-citizens.
Today, many minimize the importance of maintaining these external expressions of our culture. They argue that this insularity was necessary when the Jews lived in the Dark Ages and needed to distance themselves from the rest of the population who at best were ignorant and superstitious. In a modern and enlightened society, however, there is no need to flaunt our Judaism by maintaining a Jewish sub-culture. Yiddish is for Bubby and Zaidy, and Jewish culture is fascinating...when viewed in a documentary or as a museum exhibit.
"Those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it." Research into Jewish life in Egypt - the first time our people were guests in a foreign land - reveals an interesting fact: our ancestors were actually very lacking in the area of Jewish observance. They largely assumed the pagan beliefs of their Egyptian taskmasters and were bare of mitzvot. What they did possess was a fierce Jewish pride and a stubborn refusal to identify themselves as Egyptians.
It's no coincidence that the entire Book of Exodus, which describes the Egyptian exile and the redemption that followed, is called Shemot, which means "names".
This is because the one thing that the Jewish People maintained in Egypt was their "names", i.e.: their Jewish identity. Throughout the bondage in Egypt they never changed their Jewish names, they continued conversing in the Holy Tongue, and they maintained their distinctively Jewish garb.
Using one's Jewish name or wearing a kippah may not be as meaningful or spiritually uplifting as studying Torah or doing a mitzvah, but in a certain sense these symbols of Jewish identity are far more important. They demonstrate Jewish pride and dignity, they are symbols of our uniqueness, they are our defense against assimilation, and in their merit we will witness yet another redemption; the Final Redemption.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom!

There is a longstanding myth that the Great Wall of China is the only manmade object visible from space. It and several variations on the theme are great fodder for water cooler arguments. In reality, many human constructs can be seen from Earth orbit.
Shuttle astronauts can see highways, airports, dams and even large vehicles from an Earth orbit that is about 135 miles (217 kilometers) high. Cities are clearly distinct from surrounding countryside, and that's true even from the higher perch of the International Space Station (news - web sites), which circles the planet at about 250 miles (400 kilometers) up.
"You can see an awful lot from space," says astronaut Ed Lu, the science officer of Expedition Seven aboard the station. "You can see the pyramids from space, especially with a pair of binoculars. They are a little difficult to pick out with just your eyes."
Egyptian pyramids have been photographed from space several times with standard digital cameras and high-powered lenses. The largest pyramid at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo, is 745 feet (227 meters) wide and 449 feet (137 meters) tall.
"With binoculars you can see an awful lot of things," Lu wrote via e-mail in fielding a question from an Earthbound space fan. "You can see roads. You can see harbors. You can even see ships; very large tankers on the ocean we can see using the binoculars."
"You can see airplane contrails, and occasionally at the end of an airplane contrail, you will see a glint of sunlight off the airplane," Lu says. "And very occasionally, you do see other satellites go by. It is kind of a neat thing to see."
There are of course places in space from which you can't notice how humans have sculpted the planet. Apollo astronauts could not make out manmade features from the Moon, for example. And from Mars, Earth would appear to the naked eye as nothing but a bright "star" in the night sky.
So what about the Great Wall of China?
"You can see the Great Wall," Lu says. But it's less visible than a lot of other objects. And you have to know where to look.
In fact stretches of the wall aren't even visible from China. They've been buried by sand for centuries. NASA (news - web sites) has used space-based radar to map out hidden parts of the ancient structure. Lu is trying to get a picture of it, too, with a digital camera.
"The weather hasn't cooperated," he says. "There has been a lot of clouds and haze over that area since I've been trying. But I hope to be successful before I come back down."

Lebanon + 1 more
Iraqi population in Lebanon survey report, Jul 2005
An estimated 20,000 Iraqis are living in Lebanon. The majority arrived after the year 2000. However the number of arrivals seems on the increase, and this is particularly true for the Christian minority. Many have lived through traumatic events and are escaping persecution and violence. The population originates mainly from Baghdad, but residents from 15 other governorates were interviewed. It is mainly composed of Shiite Muslim, and, as a second group, by Christians. The population is relatively young, and about half of them are single. In Lebanon, Iraqis who have fled the war and/or persecution are not provided with a residence permit, even when they are recognised refugees by UNHCR. They live illegally in Lebanon. They live mainly as single households in rented apartments in working class areas. They work in the informal employment market, as they do not hold a work permit. Often, their current occupation is not at the same level as the one they had in Iraq. Cases of child labour have also come to light. The biggest problem expressed by Iraqis themselves is the lack of documentation, and the subsequent fear of moving around, of being arrested and deported. A majority of Iraqis do not feel safe in their country of asylum whilst those who are recognised as refugees feel even more unsafe than the rest of the population, and are not protected against refoulement. Another problem often referred to is the health situation, and the lack of support for health care. The cost of health services must be met by the family, with sometimes the help of a charitable or humanitarian organisation. Access to education is limited. More than half of the households do not send their children to school, mainly due to financial constraints. The general level of education has been found to be low. Available assistance is provided mainly by NGOs, but it is often not sufficient, and is also not available in all regions of Lebanon. The host community is generally seen as welcoming and supportive, though due to their legal status and the fear of being deported many Iraqis avoid contact. Most of the Iraqis are currently not considering repatriation, mainly in relation to the security situation and the fear of persecution. They are looking for security, respect of their rights, access to work and health care. In many cases, they consider resettlement to a third country as the best possible solution for the time being.
About refugees in Lebanon
Although not a signatory of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, Lebanon is host to several hundred thousand refugees. The country has, throughout history, been a safe haven for various persecuted minorities in the Middle-East. At present, the largest number of refugees in Lebanon is that of the Palestinians. About 400,000 Palestinians are registered in Lebanon with the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA), while about 35,000 Palestinians are registered with the Lebanese authorities only, and a group estimated at 3,000 persons is not registered at all. The second largest group of refugees and persons in refugee-like situations in Lebanon are Iraqis. They constitute an estimated 20,000 persons, while large groups of refugees in Lebanon include persons from Sudan, Somalia and Sierra Leone. For these groups, and in the absence of a national asylum procedure, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) carries out the refugee status determination procedure in the country based on its mandate. However recognition of refugee status by UNHCR does not mean eligibility for providing the refugees with residence permit, work permit, or any other form of legalisation nor integration in Lebanon. Most of the time, refugees are supported by family, religious institutions, NGOs and charity organisations. The economic crisis striking the country for more than 10 years has weakened the support capacity of the community, and the growing control of the territory by government since the war (1975-1990) has created a new source of fear for the undocumented refugees and persons in refugee-like situations.
