This paper addresses the evolving nature of agriculture in the Danube Delta, since the 1950s and to the present day. The paper makes the inventory of the studies and programs aimed at increasing the share of the agricultural activities in the Delta, of the attempts to transform the Danube Delta into a significant segment of the Romanian agricultural economy. Over time, there has been a great competition between agriculture and the main Delta resources; in this regard, fishing has always been a key component of the Delta's economy. Between 1955 and 1965, particular importance was given to the industrial exploitation of the reed, as raw material for cellulose and paper. To this end, the Delta was divided and embanked, and a special machine system was implemented in order to harvest the reed. By destroying the reed's biological bases (the rhizomes), the reed yield decreased; thus, by late 1960s, reed cultivation became unprofitable. Then, it was considered that the embanked areas could be drained and turned into agricultural polders. Successive programs assigned to agriculture larger and larger areas, ranging from 100,000 ha to over 200,000 ha; however, these were not materialized. In fact, agriculture was practiced on areas ranging from 60,000 to 70,000 ha, with a tendency to specialize in a biological system according to the requirements for the environmental protection of the reserve.

Only Pepe Carvalho could use a tattoo saying "Born to Raise Hell in Hell" as evidence that the police are, once again, dead wrong
In a Spain still stifled under the rule of Franco, former CIA operative--and former Communist--Pepe Carvalho has become so cynical he seems to care about nothing except food and sex. He's even taken to burning the occasional book in his Barcelona apartment, just so he can have a fire going in the fireplace when he eats some bacalhao.
But when he sees the cops bungling a case he's hired to investigate--that of a body pulled out of the sea--he's roused by a sense of injustice. The cops think the murder was connected to local drug dealers and brothels, and they begin raiding bars and harassing Barcelona's women of the night. But Carvalho's gut tells him something else is going on, and the cops are wrong once again.
As the cops stir up more and more trouble, and Carvalho gets more and more entwined, he's only got one clue: a tattoo on the dead man's body, one which reads: "Born to Raise Hell in Hell."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NOV 30, 2009
Those who prefer getting inside characters' heads to figuring out whodunit will enjoy this mystery in Montalb n's series featuring food-loving PI Pepe Carvalho (Buenos Aires Quintet, etc.), first published in Spain in 1976. When the corpse of an unknown man with the words Born to Raise Hell in Hell tattooed on his shoulder surfaces off the Barcelona coast, Ram n Freixas, a hair salon owner, asks Carvalho to investigate. For reasons he doesn't share with the gumshoe, Freixas wants the victim identified. The tattoo's trail takes the detective to Amsterdam, where he figures out the murder was related to the drug trade. Carvalho's cynicism (he divides the world into those who go to jail and those who might go to jail ) will make him a familiar figure to hard-boiled devotees. The final twist will appeal to readers comfortable with some ambiguity.

Research has explored how care managers in elder care – who often function as 'street-level bureaucrats' – regard professional discretion. The way in which length of work experience affects care managers'use of professional discretion remains, however, unexplored. This article present findings from 12 focus groups with 60 care managers. By bringing attention to how care managers experience the needs assessment process, this article sheds light on how these 'street-level bureaucrats' struggle when they try to balance their clients' needs against institutional frameworks and local guidelines. Length of work experience seems to play a role in how care managers claim to use professional discretion. Experienced care managers describe how they deviate from the guidelines at times in order to create an increased scope of action in their decision-making process. Those with less time in the profession describe greater difficulties in this respect. Findings suggest that research should explore if length of work experience plays a role in the actual way in which care managers assess needs and make decisions. As such, they contribute to our understanding of how needs assessment processes are navigated by professionals while also pointing towards the nature of professional discretion in gerontological social work.

Caraga natives decry mining, logging
PIA Press Release - http://www.pia.gov.ph/news.asp?fi=p060823.htm&no=05
Davao City (23 August) -- Scared of the awful destruction that occurred in various places of the country, the indigenous peoples in Davao Oriental, particularly in the municipality of Caraga, came out with a very strong position against logging and mining.
The position paper was the apex of a two-day IP Coalition Assembly held at the Caraga Parish Development Center, on June 17-18, 2006.
In the said document, the IP's ascertained that despite the turbulent times, they will never allow their ancestral domains to be maligned, and destroyed at any cost.
Also, the "lumads" stressed that they will never allow themselves to be divided, displaced from their houses, and be disunited as a tribe and family.
As such, the IP's expressed worries and feared the threats of logging and mining that has engulfed their community.
They asked for the cancellation of the Mining Act of 1995, cancellation of permit, license, and agreement for the operation of logging and mining in the province, especially those that do not conform to the process as stipulated in the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act-IPRA, and other laws.
The indigenous peoples are also asking for respect to their ancestral domains, and the real implementation of the IPRA, and other laws for the protection of ecology.
And to show sincerity in protecting the environment and their ancestral domain, the IP's vow to disown members of their tribe who were used, and allow themselves to be used by people who showed interest in destroying the environment and considered such as a clear act betrayal to the tribe.
Other neighboring municipalities are also requested to show the same concern, and to strongly prohibit mining and logging, and other means of ecological destruction in their respective areas.
Sangab, Caraga Tribal Chieftain Copertino Banugan, in giving the rationale to the assembly, challenged his tribesmen to prove that they cannot be lured by money.
He said that logging concessionaires and mining companies think that their principles can be brought with money. The tribal chieftain confirmed that they are really facing a big problem now, because lumads have different views and are divided.
Accordingly, the thrust will never prosper, and it will be difficult for them to join in the coalition should they do not agree on one thing.
The participants came from the different municipalities of Caraga, assisted by TREES, INC., Lungga Center , Tanggapan ng Katutubong Pilipino, Sumancoda Tribal Council, Pantuyan Tribal Council, Pyaggaguwan Learning Center, Malibago Planters, Inc., FOMFI, and SMCAI, groups united for the noble cause of ecology.
Mayor Alice Mori of Caraga, and Indigenous Peoples Apostolate-IPA Diocesan Director Fr. Bert Ombon also attended the coalition assembly. (PIA XI and DXHM)

☛ calcium phosphate disubstituted dihydrate.
The drug has antihypertensive, cardioprotective, vasodilating and natriuretic effect on the human body.
Lizinopril tablets block ACE, increase the content of endogenous vasodilating PG and prevent the transfer of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. They also reduce the conversion of arginine-vasopressin and endothelin-1, reduce the afterload on the myocardium, the total peripheral resistance of the vessels, the pressure in the pulmonary capillaries and systemic blood pressure. Patients with heart failure increase myocardial tolerance to exercise and cardiac output. Increase plasma renin activity.
The drug blocks the tissue renin-angiotensin system of the heart, prevents the appearance of myocardial hypertrophy and dilatation of the left ventricle, or helps in their disappearance.
The effect of the drug manifests itself after about 60 minutes, increases for 6-7 hours and lasts for a day. The maximum hypotensive effect is manifested when the course is a few weeks.
The active substance is absorbed by about 25%. The time of ingestion does not affect the absorption. The connection with plasma proteins is low. The active substance is not biotransformed and excreted by the kidneys in an unchanged form. Half-life is 12 hours.

The medication is taken daily 1 time in the morning, regardless of food intake. Do this at the same time, while washing some liquid.
The exact dosage and the scheme of therapy is selected by a specialist individually. It depends on what Lysinopropyl is applied, what preparations are taken with it and what is the condition of the kidneys.
With arterial hypertension in the case of treatment without other antihypertensive drugs, the dosage is 2.5 mg once a day. For the most effective 2-4 weeks of therapy. Only then you can increase the daily dosage to a maximum of 20 mg. The daily dose should not be more than 40 mg.
If the desired antihypertensive effect is not achieved, you must additionally take another antihypertensive drug of another pharmacotherapeutic group.

In a hospital, treatment is conducted to maintain normal perfusion pressure, circulation, respiration, restore the volume of circulating blood and normal kidney function. Effective hemodialysis. It is mandatory to monitor the vital signs, as well as the level of creatinine and electrolytes in the blood serum.
Taking the drug together with antihypertensive drugs can provoke an additive antihypertensive effect.
Potassium-sparing diuretics, substitutes for edible salt with potassium, and also drugs with potassium increase the possibility of developing hyperkalemia.
Combination with ACE blockers and NSAIDs increases the likelihood of kidney dysfunction. In rare cases, hyperkalemia is also possible.
And the application in conjunction with loop and thiazide diuretics is fraught with increased antihypertensive effect. At the same time, the risk of renal dysfunction significantly increases.
Indomethacin or agents with estrogen in combination with lisinopril lead to a decrease in the antihypertensive effect of the latter. And simultaneous intake of insulin and hypoglycemic drugs can cause hypoglycemia.
The combination with clozapine leads to an increase in its content in plasma. With the simultaneous intake of lithium carbonate, its serum level increases. This may be accompanied by symptoms of lithium intoxication.
The drug also increases the effect of ethanol. The symptoms of alcoholic intoxication are increasing. At the same time, it is possible to increase the hypotensive effect of lisinopril, so it is necessary to avoid alcoholic beverages during therapy with this drug or not to take it within a day after drinking alcohol.
Use of this medication together with narcosis drugs, narcotic analgesics, antidepressants, muscle relaxants with hypotensive effect, and also hypnotics leads to an increase in the hypotensive effect.
Thrombolytics increase the likelihood of arterial hypotension. This combination should be prescribed with caution and carefully monitor the patient's condition.
Sympathomimetics to a significant extent weaken the hypotensive effect of the drug. A combination with drugs that have a myelosuppressive effect increases the risk of agranulocytosis and / or neutropenia.
The simultaneous use with Allopurinol, immunosuppressants, Procainamide, cytostatics, GCS can cause leukopenia.
With dialysis therapy, anaphylactoid reactions are possible in the case of high-flow polyacrylonitrile metal sulfonate membranes.

Why are drugs in online pharmacies cheaper than in real ones?
⚠First of all, when buying drugs, consumers pay attention to the price. If it suits you can safely buy. But many start-up Internet users are scared off by low (compared to the usual pharmacies) the cost of medicines that are sold online. It is difficult to understand, not knowing all the intricacies, why buying an online drug is much cheaper than around the corner of your house. Why so cheap? Sale on the Internet does not require such material investments as trade in reality. Owners of ordinary pharmacies are forced to pay for renting premises, the work of pharmacists, sellers, cleaners. On the Internet, drugs are sold cheaper, because the creators of online stores do not make unnecessary extra charges. In addition, many sellers today deliver products directly to the house or offer to pick up at the nearest pharmacy. Discounts for regular customers, including savings, are a common practice in the network. If you buy regularly, then it is beneficial for you to cooperate with a certain pharmacy. So your discount will grow to the maximum level, and the saved money can be spent for personal development, travel, gifts or a favorite hobby.


So, for the Foodie Friday group, we are looking at what our fallback items are. That is, what we do when we are too busy to cook. As it would happen, I have had one of those weeks and my fallback is always a healthy frozen meal. I'm pretty picky about frozen stuff. It has to be good for me and hopefully tastes good as well. This week, I grabbed an Amy's Cheese Enchilada meal as my fallback.
I also as a side thought snapped pictures of it before I even knew I would be writing this. If I had thought it through more, I would have staged it better or at least used a better plate. So you get to see not only my fall back meal, but my cheap fall back dishes as well. I usually only use these for quick frozen meals!
I love Amy's frozen meals because they are natural, organic, and also generally really tasty. I think most, if not all, of their meals are also vegetarian. Further, this one was gluten free. I had not had the cheese enchilada before and boy was it good! This tasted pretty darn close to restaurant quality and that is really rare in any frozen meal, even the best of them. Everything tasted fresh and had good flavor.
Amy's meals are more expensive than most frozen items, but I think they are well worth it. I have yet to be disappointed and this one is going to end up in my regular rotation!
See more Fallback Friday items at the links below!
I love Amy's frozen meals! The burrito one you show here is so good. I especially love this if I have a little salsa to put on it. Such a tasty back up meal, thanks for sharing!!

It's Bereaved Parents Month, Here's What We Want You To Know
by Caila Smith
PeopleImages/Getty
July is Bereaved Parents Awareness Month, a time to advocate for and raise awareness of one's life after the loss of their child. But we the bereaved still don't feel nearly seen enough.
The efforts bereaved parents use to create a certain level of transparency in our grief goes unnoticed by the general public. You see, our cause is taboo. One that's better off not to dwell on because it's uncomfortable and heartbreaking. It's the kind of cause that's only mentioned when another parent is forced to join the throes of it's unfortunate hold. Even then, you're only truly remembered for as long as the funeral.
But our grief extends beyond those immediate moments following the mass destruction of our lives. It's our shadow, if you will, and we wish you could understand us without having to become us.
We want you to know…
1. We are still "normal."
"When someone sees [a bereaved parent], they look at us like we are broken. Like we 'can't function right,'" Chelsea Fairchild, mother of two, tells Scary Mommy about the passing of her three-year-old son Riley. "We are humans just like everyone else. Just because we struggle with [the] grief of a child, doesn't mean that we are outsiders."
Though we are different, we are still us… just a bit more rusty around the edges for a time. After the initial grieving stages have passed, we still long for our friendships and other relationships to see us through the toughest days ahead. And if they are nowhere to be found when we are ready, it hurts, it's noticed, and it will always be remembered.
Aliyah Jamous/Unsplash
Carrie Stafford, Colorado mother of four, says she feels like others see her differently since the death of her one year old son Bryce. "People view [bereaved parents] as fragile and weak and feel uncomfortable around us. We don't have a contagious disease… we have a broken heart!," she says.
2. Our child(ren) died, but we can't stop living.
The most common phrase acting as a "filler" toward bereaved parents in conversation seems to be, "I can't imagine."
It's understandable. And almost always, these words are meant to serve as a good testament to the bereaved parent's strength. But when the topic is dwelt on, when someone continues on their banter about a loss they haven't experienced, but just "could not" live through, what is meant to be taken as comfort can quickly turn into something that is unintentionally hurtful.
Chances are, there was a time when the grieving parent didn't have the slightest clue how they would survive their own child's death when it actually did happen to them. They didn't want to survive it. They felt wrong for surviving it. But they didn't have a choice in the matter, and it's important to recognize that when using filler words such as these. (Better yet, just be there. No filler words are needed.)
There comes a time when even the bereaved parent has to learn how to smile again. And I promise, unless you've been there yourself, you don't know what it took for them to do it. That smile has been earned without question.
Haley Bennett is a mother of two from Indiana who lost her firstborn daughter, Mayleigh, when she was born still at 38 weeks and 5 days. After some time of isolation and feeling frustrated about entering the "real world," Bennett says that she always wound up hearing responses from others such as, "I don't get how you could go through with something so tragic and be the way you are today."
"I just have to remind them I didn't choose to live like this, and I had to push through it," she says.
3. We are constantly aware our child is gone.
"Sometimes it really hurts deep down that [Bryce] is forgotten and the harsh reality sets in once again that he should be here to share [everyday moments] with us, but he's not," Stafford says.
Rest assured, bringing up our deceased child(ren) is not going to suddenly depress us or instantly remind us of their death. We are so blatantly aware of their nonexistence in every single moment of our lives.
"We WANT to talk about our children. That's how we keep them alive," bereaved mother Adrienne Brown says when referring to her late son, David.
Bereaved parents have a parental instinct to protect and love their deceased child. To lose a child is to be given a duty of carrying on their legacy, and it's hurtful when the rest of the world fails at merely acknowledging the bereaved parent's child's existence.
"I wish people would just relax and open up with me and my loss. After all, I'm the one living daily with it, not them," Hartley Geyer, bereaved mother of twin boys Maverick and Milo, tells Scary Mommy.
4. We might feel trapped in one moment in time.
While everyone else's life moves on after the funeral, for the bereaved parents, their new life is just beginning. For a time, their very being will be consumed by this forever-defining day. Grief brain, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations and PTSD following the loss of a child are all very real, valid and consuming aftershocks of grief.
Stefan Spassov/Unsplash
Bereaved parents aren't looking for a free pass on all-the-things in life, but be gracious. Going back to work, parenting, or even just day-to-day activities can feel overwhelming in the acute stages of grief, and even for extended spurts in the many years to follow. Stafford, an elementary school teacher in Colorado, says she was "unsure how to function in a world that kept moving forward" after the passing of her son. She felt like her "entire world stopped."
"Just being around children was a challenge when I wanted to be curled in a ball in my bed forgetting the rest of the world around me existed," she tells Scary Mommy.
5. Grieving a child lasts forever.
My great-grandmother lost a child to pneumonia at three years old, and my grandma has always said that her mother grieved that baby until the day she died at 96 years old. When I told one of my friends this to hopefully help her understand my grief after my daughter's death, her reply in the form of pure shock was, "Really?! That long?!"
From that moment on, at a mere three weeks following my daughter's death, I've felt this world's harsh and expected timeline of my grief. But the truth of the matter is, the bereaved parent will grieve for as long as we live.
"I'm never going to be done grieving because my love for my son Bryce is SO BIG and my connection SO DEEP." — Stafford.
"I live every single day with the pain of my son's death. Every day I wake up with a broken heart that doesn't seem to heal." — Fairchild.
"I will grieve my children for the rest of my life. I will always wonder who they would have been. What they would look like. Who they would grow up to be. I will ALWAYS grieve my babies." — Geyer.
"Grief NEVER goes away. There are good days and bad days and on the bad days they are like waves drowning you in an ocean." — Brown.
So, yes, bereaved parents really do and will grieve for "that long."

'Halston' Shows How Glamour Was the Late Designer's Most-Applauded Strength — and His Biggest Weakness
The documentary, directed by Frédéric Tcheng and narrated by Tavi Gevinson, arrives in theaters on Friday, May 24.

When most of us picture '70s fashion, we think of Diane von Furstenberg's colorful, figure-flattering wrap dresses or Yves Saint Laurent's gender-bending Le Smoking tuxedos. However, many people have forgotten about Halston, who created some of the major garments that defined the decade — think the bias-cut satin dresses that elegantly skimmed the body.
Director Frédéric Tcheng and producer Roland Ballester seek to resurrect Halston's work and unveil his influential persona in their documentary "Halston," which will hit theaters on Friday, May 24.
Tcheng, who directed the well-received 2015 documentary "Dior & I," was hesitant when Ballester came to him with the idea to tell Halston's story. This is mostly because Tcheng, who's from France and was born after Halston's heyday, wasn't familiar with the designer. But Ballester is friends Halston's nephew, George Frowick, who connected him to his sister (and Halston's niece) Lesley Frowick. She lived and worked with Halston, and received his entire archive. In other words, she had all of the tools to tell her late uncle's story. Tcheng quickly became fascinated, and with "Halston," he aimed to tell it in an unconventional way.

"The structure felt like an investigation," says Tcheng. "I didn't want it to be linear."
The film navigates through Halston's life in a series of archived clips intertwined with present-day interviews with models, celebrities, journalists and former co-workers. Lesley and the 23-year-old fashion blogger-turned-entrepreneur and actor Tavi Gevinson serve as recurring narrators. According to Tcheng, Gevinson was a natural fit for the film.
"I wanted someone who was curious, slightly nerdy and also had one foot in the fashion world and one foot in culture," says Tcheng, referring to Gevinson. "She talks about fashion from a very large point of view."
"Halston" starts as Gevinson, wearing her signature quirky glasses, sifts through tapes of Halston's archives, popping them into a VCR. Gevinson's appearances are sprinkled throughout the film and her presence is an unexpected, yet fitting twist.

The first clip is an old video of the designer, born Roy Halston Frowick, sporting a dapper suit and a smoldering look on his face. The Halston persona towards the public was glamorous and big on appearances, from the people he dressed to the people with whom he associated himself. Looks were a definite factor. The film details Halston's beginnings as head milliner at Bergdorf Goodman, followed by his transition to women's wear in 1969. Next, we witness Halston's glitzy party lifestyle at Studio 54 with Liza Minelli and Andy Warhol, as well as appearances with the "Halstonettes," a name given to models like Pat Cleveland and Karen Bjornsen who wore the designer's stylish silk gowns and took press trips for the brand.
Journalist Bob Colacello says, "He was drawn to people who displayed their emotions and also had this tremendous aesthetic side."
It's clear that Halston keeps his social life pack with celebrities and his work life full of creative projects. When the company is bought by consumer goods giant Norton Simon Industries in 1973, Halston expands his portfolio to design car interiors, home goods and perfume. He insists on having creative control over every project, which is where the film — and his career take a turn.
The unglamorous story of Halston's diminished reputation unravels. First, there is a collaboration with J.C. Penney in the '80s, which causes Halston to lose ties with Bergdorf Goodman. Next to come is the lavish spending, most of which went toward flower arrangements for the office, expensive press trips and decadent meals. Company President Carl Epstein warns Halston that the brand is in financial trouble, but the designer refuses to address the issue. He continues to overspend, parties nonstop and arrives to work late to avoid meetings with Epstein.

Along with other brand employees, Epstein decides to take legal action and force Halston out of the company. They win the lawsuit, portraying Halston as an unfit boss. Beginning in 1983, Halston can no longer design under his name and goes on to live the rest of his life in isolation. Several years later, in 1990, he dies of AIDS — an illness he hid from friends, employees and family for years.
The film showcases the ups and downs of Halston's life from the perspective of his closest friends and loved ones. His fearlessness towards being himself and pushing boundaries were exemplified in his work, and those closest to him truly respected his creative endeavors. It also really makes the viewer see that he was a pioneer during one of the most memorable eras of fashion: Halston started the designer-department-store collaboration and helped define '70s glamour.
While the film unveils the unfortunate decisions and occurrences that led to the diminishment of the Halston brand, viewers' opinions may shift about Halston, whether good or bad, because this is the first time his full life story is in the spotlight. "Hopefully history will be corrected a little bit," says Tcheng. "I really think he was one of the major names of the 21st century." The documentary develops its tasteful narrative through an artistic director and the help of a family member, which is likely how Halston would have wanted it.
"When he died there wasn't a great fortune," explains Tcheng, noting that despite public appearances, profit wasn't Halston's driving force. "He didn't do it for money. He did it for beauty."

Q: How does Firebase Analytics track it's automatic events? Firebase Analytics tracks a number of default events: https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6317485
Some of them like

*

*first_open

*app_remove

*app_clear_data

*app_update

are BroadcastIntents that don't get sent to the affected package. ACTION_PACKAGE_FIRST_LAUNCH is for example only sent to the installer package, not to the package being installed (source).
How does Firebase Analytics still manage to track these events? What's their method?

A: first_open and app_update are base on data stored on disk. Each time Firebase Analytics start it reads stored state on disk and checks if this is the first time the app runs. If that's the case first_open event is recorded and the state on disk is updated. app_upgrade works similarly. When Firebase Analytics starts is check the version of the app when it last have seen it running. If the version differs it logs app_update event and updates the state on disk. Where the state on disk is kept differs between devices with and without Google Play Services. On devices with the service the state is saved within Google Play Services data. On non-Google Play devices the data is saved with the app.
app_clear_data and app_remove work only on devices with Google Play Services (most Android devices). The Firebase Service that record the state on disk runs inside Google Play Services so when the app runs there is code in the app that tells the Google Play Services if its shared preference file stored in the app data was deleted. Google Play Services then check if this app has run in the past and if it has run it then assumes the app data was cleared and logs app_clear_data.
For app_remove there is broadcast from Package Manager when a package is removed. Google Play Services listens to this broadcast and when it receives it app_remove event is recorded and all data related to this app is removed from the device.

It was costly for a Pakistani-born doctor to strictly follow the instructions on the Code 19 vaccine
It was costly for the Pakistani-American doctor to strictly follow the instructions of the authorities regarding the code 19 vaccine.
With 10 doses left in an open bottle of vaccine and a sword hanging over his head to expire in six hours, the doctor ran for hours to find those who were eligible for the vaccine, failing which he had to give the last dose to his wife. He was accused of stealing vaccines and fired from his government job. Dr. Hassan Gokal, 48, of Sugarland, Texas, has been part of the Harris County Department of Public Health's Code 19 Response Team since the outbreak of the corona epidemic in April last year.
In December, he was briefed by the authorities on the rules for use of the recently approved Moderna vaccine, which stipulates that 10 doses of the vaccine in one vial should be used within six hours of opening the vial. It is necessary.
Dr Gokal says he was strictly instructed not to waste a single drop of valuable vaccine. After opening a bottle of vaccine during a vaccination event in Houston in December, Dr. Hassan Gokal had 10 doses of Code 19 left over, which would expire in the next six hours.
Dr. Gokal needed to use them immediately. They did their best to find people who were eligible for the vaccine. He gave the last dose to his wife, who was suffering from lung disease, vaccinated other people over the age of 60 and submitted the details to his supervisor.
In violation of the protocol, the Harris County District Attorney's Office charged him with stealing ten doses of the 135 vaccine, saying he abused his position and legally violated the real rights of the vaccine to his loved ones. Gave priority to relatives.
The case was later dropped as the allegations were baseless, but due to notoriety, he failed to get a job again and is still unemployed.
Dr. Gokal says these are the worst moments of his life, everything is ruined, the scandal caused by these baseless allegations has caused irreparable damage to his reputation.

Advertisers around the world increased their spend on retargeting across Facebook by 31 per cent according to an analysis of data from the AdRoll Network.
Another of the major finding of the report, which is called Facebook by the Numbers 2015 is that running campaigns across a diversified inventory mix produces better performance and a greater ROI.
Cross device retargeting is also an increasingly important consideration. The study says that when advertisers added mobile retargeting to existing desktop campaigns, they saw a substantial improvement in performance across Facebook inventory.


Services were explained to meet my needs and I was updated as I progressed. I had the best care at home. When I had a question I called the office and got the answer and help that I needed the same day. I would very likely recommend this agency to my family and friends. Timeless Home Care provided me with a A-1 care especially by Tyler Mack.
The agency always told me about the care I was to receive. The staff was gentle, kind, and respectful. I received excellent care especially from the aides. We loved the sides who helped every night, Patricia and Fabriola.
I wish to thank the woman therapist for excellent care and treatment. The nurses and therapist helped me with my pain and with new medicines. Timeless provided the best of care and I would use them again if the need arises.
My therapist, Freda did a very good job and should be commended for a job well done. Nursing services were very good and I would refer people to Timeless Home Health.
Timeless Home Health has wonderful, caring people, who always were respectful and explained my treatment and progress. I would rate them excellent (10 out of 10) and would refer them to others for care.
The staff are all very professional from the CNAs to the RNs. They are all very knowledgeable about my diabetes care to my lymphoma needs and treatment. I have learned so much from Selvana and from Reina about my diabetes. I got the best of care and will contact you when I need home health again.
Everyone who came to help me from your agency was professional and compassionate. I was made aware of the treatment goals and my progress. I was very pleased with their response to my needs after I notified the office with a question. Everything was handled the same day. I would recommend Timeless Home Health to anyone.
Nursing was very good but my therapist was excellent. The therapist explained what muscles the different exercises were working. He had good suggestions and a positive attitude. Thank you Timeless and if I need a home health agency I will use you again.

T-Birds host last home games of 2013
By Lachlan Kerr (Sports Information Assistant)
November 21, 2013, VANCOUVER (ISN) – The UBC Thunderbirds women's basketball team are back in their own gym this weekend as they welcome two Prairie opponents as the Manitoba Bisons and the Winnipeg Wesmen both roll into town.
Friday's game against Winnipeg will tip off at 6 p.m. at War Memorial Gymnasium, while Saturday's matchup against Manitoba will begin at 5 p.m.
The Saturday game is part of the VPS Family Day and the UBC "Take a Break" Festival activities scheduled for Nov. 23. UBC students will receive free admission to all the Thunderbirds games being played that day (two basketball and two volleyball).
TICKETS / LIVE STREAM
UBC gave up a surprise 65-57 overtime defeat to Thompson Rivers University last Friday, the first in their history to that opposition and their second of the season. They promptly put things right the next night by comfortably dispatching the WolfPack 71-54 to settle the score. They enter the fourth week of the season with a 4-2 record and sole ownership of second place in the Pacific Division.
Guard Kris Young scored 13 and 16 points on Friday and Saturday, respectively, to lead UBC against Thompson Rivers. The North Vancouver native is currently sixth in Canada West scoring with an average of 16.3 points a game. She's also ninth in rebounding (7.7 per game). Forward Harleen Sidhu leads the team in rebounding with 10.7 boards per game, which puts her in third in the conference. Her 13.8 points per game is tied for 11th in the league scoring race. Maggie Sundberg, Cassandra Knievel, Stephanie Bell and Adrienne Parkin are averaging about seven points a game.
Winnipeg are the first of UBC's opponents and they too sit on a 4-2 record. Two factors that play into UBC's hands this weekend are that both of Winnipeg's losses have come away from home and all four wins have come against teams with a .500 record or worse.
Stephanie Kleysen is the key cog in the Wesmen's wheels; she currently leads the team in scoring, rebounding, steals and blocks. Providing her with some staunch assistance is Megan Noonan who is average 15.3 points a game herself and leads the team in assists averaging 3.3 a game. They have won each of their games convincingly, an average winning margin of 25 points. These blowout wins give them an impressive 15-point differential over their opponents in scoring on the season.
The Bisons sit even on the season with a 3-3 record but notably have lost their last two games. They have played exactly the same teams as Winnipeg so far this year, which serves as a good indicator when assessing the two teams. Similarly, they lost both of their match-ups against Calgary although their victories against Lethbridge, UNBC and Mount Royal were much more closely contested. They have a much more balanced offence with contributions coming across the board, four of their players are averaging between 8.8 and 11 points for the season.
UBC last played Manitoba and Winnipeg in November of 2012 in Winnipeg, and the Thunderbirds won both meetings by 15 points.

Bradley Petroleum faces years of wage complaints
Business | January 22, 2015
Anna Boiko-Weyrauch
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News
Ward Boydstun cleans a room holding cats up for adoption while volunteering at Angels with Paws cat shelter in Wheat Ridge
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News | Rocky Mountain PBS I-News
Editor's Note: Second of two articles. The first ran on Sunday.
Ward Boydstun misses his teeth. The 27-year-old left his dentures at the Bradley Petroleum gas station when he was escorted out in handcuffs two years ago.
The company had paid for the new set of teeth for the former "manager of the month" when years of poor dental care left him with none.
Then, $4,534 and change was missing.
Boydstun told police that he was covering cash register shortages that had occurred over four months. "I would pay money out of my own pocket … but it was too much. I went as far as asking my family to help me pay back the shortage."
Boydstun admitted to the detective that he subsequently hid the shortages through accounting tricks.
Boydstun also left Bradley Petroleum after four years without his last paycheck. What he did gain was a felony arrest record. But police found no evidence that Boydstun had taken any money and filed no charges.
More than 30 years of public records and internal documents dealing with Bradley Petroleum, one of Colorado's oldest employers, show the company has repeatedly been investigated for violating federal and state labor law, Rocky Mountain PBS I-News has found. In particular, for a pattern of suspending employees for shortages, reporting them to the police for alleged theft, and then permanently withholding the employee's final check despite a lack of evidence of any wrongdoing.
I-News also interviewed 15 current and former employees at Bradley Petroleum and Sav-O-Mat, and they commonly referred to policies that implicitly encouraged employees to pay out of their own pockets for shortages.
State and federal labor authorities have investigated complaints numerous times during the decades and recovered thousands of dollars in lost wages for Bradley workers. Under state law, employers are allowed to withhold wages for 90 days pending the outcome of police investigations. If no charges are filed, wages must be remitted plus interest.
Bradley Petroleum President Buzz Calkins said it was not the company's policy to violate the state law, but he did acknowledge errors in processing final checks.
"If there are no charges filed, then their check is returned to them and they're free to go on with their lives," Calkins told I-News.
Dozens of civil lawsuits are filed every year in Colorado courts for disputes over wages. Every year the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment receives an average of 5,000 complaints and collects $1 million in unpaid wages from across state industries.
Federal investigators have completed investigations into 22 gas station/convenience stores since 2005. In that period, Bradley Petroleum has been investigated twice.
In that respect, Bradley is not unique.
What makes the case of this local, family-run business notable is the consistency and longevity of the attempts in civil courts and by state and federal authorities to enforce wage laws in favor of Bradley's workers.
Bradley has never been charged in criminal court, despite concerns and claims that the company's long established pattern of withholding constitutes a form of wage theft. In fact, no Colorado employer has been charged in criminal court under the state's wage laws since 2001, according to an I-News review of court data from 2000 to 2014.
Last year the Colorado Legislature passed a law to strengthen the Department of Labor and Employment's ability to investigate worker complaints and collect unpaid wages through an administrative process. Criminal provisions in a 2013 version of the bill were stripped out following opposition from business.
Bradley lays claims to the first gas station in Denver, which opened in 1912. Known for cheap gasoline, third-generation owner Brad Calkins has said in published interviews that he tries to undercut the competition.
The company operates 48 gas stations under the Bradley and Sav-O-Mat names throughout Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, including one in Glenwood Springs.
Buzz Calkins, Brad Calkins' son and a former professional race car driver, is the fourth generation to run the business.
"I don't think you can stick around for 100 years if you're a complete jerk," he said in an interview.
Sometimes at the end of the shift at the gas stations, he said, the cash register and inventory don't balance out. The quantity of cigarettes, lottery tickets or gasoline on hand is less than what the ledger says it ought to be.
"That's the nature of the industry," Buzz Calkins said.
Current and former employees cited many reasons that shortages occur. Customers drive off without paying, the credit card equipment malfunctions, employees make mistakes. Outright theft also happens.
Shortages are at the heart of many employee disputes with Bradley.
I-News reviewed records from courts, law enforcement and the company from 1981 until November 2014 that show a recurring pattern: A shortage is discovered at a store, an employee pays out of pocket to cover it. Otherwise the employee is suspended, a manager calls local law enforcement to file a police report against the employee, and the employee does not receive his or her final check, contrary to the 90-day stipulation under state law.
LITANY OF INTERVENTION
In 1981 the federal Department of Labor issued an injunction against Bradley and ordered the company to pay $6,000 for amounts "allegedly due" for violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and enjoined the company from retaliating against employees for filing complaints.
In 1992, Brad Calkins again signed an agreement with the federal Department of Labor to pay $8,293 to 44 employees to settle claims of alleged violations of federal wage and hour laws, while denying any violation of the law.
In 1997 the company agreed to another settlement, this time with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment for $20,000 for the same pattern of firing employees for shortages and withholding their final checks upon filing a police report.
Four years later a Bradley worker from a Fort Morgan store filed a class action lawsuit for the same problem. In 2003 Bradley agreed to pay $80,000 to dozens of employees to settle the claims in the lawsuit.
However, Bradley continued to deduct wages from current and terminated employees. A court-ordered audit following up on the 2003 settlement shows the company withheld over $61,000 in wages from over 800 minimum wage employees for shortages and the cost of uniforms in 2007 and 2008.
The company had asked employees to sign a document that said the employee had taken the money and agreed to have the amount deducted from their paycheck. Some employees crossed out the words, "I took," and added handwritten messages asserting their innocence.
The judge presiding over the case showed frustration over the persistence of the company's wage withholding: "Even if there is no deliberate bad faith on the part of Bradley, I still have substantial concern that somehow the corporation or its minions don't get it."
In an email to I-News responding to the judge's words, Buzz Calkins wrote, "Ultimately it was decided that our policies are legal and that we do everything to act in good faith."
But in that December 2009 ruling, the judge found that Bradley's withholdings and employee-signed documents violated wage laws.
Buzz Calkins said employees were paid back for illegal deductions in 2007 and 2008.
Current Bradley employees are no longer required to sign the forms in the event of shortages.
In an April 2009 hearing, a former Bradley counsel articulated the new company policy: "If there is a shortage of $10 or more in anything, lottery tickets, gas, cigarettes, cash, the employee is immediately suspended for 10 days during an investigation."
"Even though the policy says $10," Buzz Calkins said, "we try to use discretion and have flexibility on terminating people with smaller shortages and try to give employees the benefit of the doubt."
Current and former Bradley managers and cashiers say this policy leads to employees, and their bosses, fronting cash for mistakes so the employees can keep their jobs.
Boydstun, the manager arrested for a shortage, said he didn't want to fire his employees and have to cover their shifts, so he started paying for shortages instead of telling his supervisor.
APPLICATION REQUIRES PAYMENT
Former employees and managers who worked at stores in Delta, Commerce City, Thornton and Englewood say it's common.
Rick Scholl worked at Bradley for four years in payroll and as a district manager. He estimated he spent around $3,000 out of his own pocket.
Buzz Calkins said company policy does not accept or condone employees paying for shortages. "Absolutely not," he said.
The company's job application contained a clause that stipulates that prospective employees "agree to be responsible for all loss, including those occurring by theft, burglary or robbery," and to repay the loss with 18 percent interest and attorney's fees.
In an email to I- News on Dec. 18, Buzz Calkins wrote that the company's job application was being revised. As of Jan. 6, it no longer included the wording on repaying losses with interest and attorney's fees, but still included the "responsible for all loss" statement.
Employees have complained about Bradley to state labor investigators more than 280 times since March 1997, according to affidavits by Colorado Department of Labor and Employment division chiefs. Since 2011, the department received 32 complaints, and repaid all but four.
"Absent bankruptcy or companies failing … I've received and worked on more complaints against Bradley Petroleum than any other employer," Amanda Neal, former department compliance officer said in a September 2009 court hearing, according to transcripts.
State labor authorities do not have the technical ability to systematically analyze data on complaints. But Bradley has had more complaints against it than "several large grocery chains," based on the limited comparison the state labor department can do, spokeswoman Cher Haavind said.
The allegations of Bradley's wrongdoing keep coming. Last year another class action lawsuit was filed in Weld County court for the same pattern of terminating employees over shortages and failing to pay their final check. Bradley attempted to have the case dismissed on the grounds that, through a clause in their job application, workers agreed to resolve disputes through arbitration, rather than through court action. The case is pending.
As recently as last November, managers at Bradley and Sav-O-Mat gas stations in Colorado and New Mexico filed police reports against employees over alleged theft. One manager interviewed by police said there was no reason to think the employee stole anything.
In November, I-News received a photo of a poorly spelled handwritten note posted in the back room of Bradley station in Westminster that warned employees to "step up" if they wanted to keep their jobs.
"Pay attention to what your [sic] doing or your [sic] gonna pay," the note said.

Violence against women represents a dominant form of gender-based violence, and it increases in times of humanitarian crisis, such as this latest refugee crisis in Serbia, due to a number of factors, such as militarization or lack of protection mechanisms. Bearing in mind the geographical position, which dictated for Serbia to find itself in the middle of the refugee route, the country has, therefore, since the eruption of the European refugee crisis, been in its very epicenter along with other countires in the region.
The difficult position of women refugees requires special attention of actors in the protection system, and sensitized approach in the provision of necessary forms of assistance, creation of support programs, but also devising policies for (potential) integration.
Association "Atina" has, within the project "Local support to the most vulnerable refugees", with the support of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), developed an observational cross-sectional study which aimed to show the prevalence and forms of violence against women and girls refugees from war-affected areas or areas of periodic conflicts, primarily Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, but other countries as well. The main objective of this study is to acquire a fuller insight into the risks and challenges related to violence against women and girls among the refugee population, as well as to learn lessons and create recommendations for improvements of the existing system of protection and support.
