CA initiative to get tougher on crime and increase DNA collection lands 2020 ballot

While the "Keep California Safe" initiative failed to secure a spot on the 2018 November ballot, it did reach enough signatures for voters to see it in 2020.
Officially the "Reducing Crime and Keeping California Safe Act of 2018," key changes to criminal penalties could include increasing misdemeanor thefts from between $250 to $950 to felonies, as well as expanding the list of crimes that would fall under the category of "violent felonies."
If passed, the measure would also allow DNA collection for lower crimes such as drug and theft, which were previously excluded. DNA collection has especially gained more media attention after Sacramento investigators were able to track down the suspected "Golden State Killer" using public genealogical sites.
Leading the ballot measure is Assemblyman Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove) along with the group Crime Victims United of California.
But opponents say the measure doesn't resonate with Californians, pointing to the passages of Prop 47 in 2014 and Prop 57 in 2016 as evidence for widespread support of progressive criminal justice reform.
So what do the outpour of signatures for 2020 mean? Are they a result of wanting to rollback on the recent overhaul of tougher criminal penalties due to unintended consequences? We hear from both sides of the argument.

Hey there folks. Hope the winter has been great for all of you. I have been a busy bee musically, putting the finishing touches on my follow up kids CD. It's going to the manufacturer this week and the physical CD will be ready by the end of March, with digital downloads available next week.
Finishing up a project like this always comes with a lot of emotions. Relief, joy, anticipation to name some of them. There is such an outpouring of energy to bring something like this to fruition. My life has changed so much over the course of recording this album. I am in a new city with new routines, leading a new life in many ways.

Lectures, Delivered at Bowdoin College: And Occasional Sermons
By Jesse Appleton
tion of a man's innocence or guilt, it is not necessary to ascertain the degree, to which he has violated the law. That may be necessary to a right apportioning of punishment, but not to a decision, that punishment is due. If I have walked uprightly in ninety nine instances, and perversely in one, it is as true, that the law is broken, as if the instances of perverseness were more numerous ; though the merited punishment is less. There are, in our civil code, laws against murder, robbery, theft, and forgery. Should a man be indicted for the last crime, and brought to trial, it would avail nothing to plead, that the crime had been committed but once. Nothing more than that is contained in the indictment. It does not set forth, that the crime has been repeated. Nor does the law declare, that forgery is no crime, unless repeated. One act of the kind renders a man liable to condemnation. So, if a person commit robbery on the highway, it will avail nothing to plead, that he has suffered a hundred persons to pass without injury.
It being conceded, that all have sinned in some instances, let those instances be ever so few, it is no less certain, that all are justly condemned; it being always understood, that punishment, following condemnation, will be proportionate to the degree of guilt.
Let us now inquire, whether the quantity of human guilt be small.
Perhaps there is no crime, which finds fewer advocates than ingratitude. Persons accused of this, may deny the charge; but they never attempt to justify the disposition. They never say, that there is no obliquity and demerit in being unmindful of benefits. If a moral fitness is discernable on any occasion, it is so on an occasion of favours bestowed and received. In proportion to these favours is the degree of demerit attached to ingratitude. Agreeable to this, is the sentence, so often quoted from Publius Syrus, Omne dixeris maledietum, quum ingratum hominem dixeris.
With what feelings do we receive and enjoy favors bestowed by our Creator? Our dependence on him is abso
lute and universal. Existence is not more truly his gist, than are all those objects, which render existence valuable. To his munificence are we indebted for intellectual powers, and the means of their cultivation for the sustenance daily provided ;-for the enjoyments, derived from the active and varying scenes of the day, and, from the rest and tranquility of the night. His gift are the relations and friends, whom we love, and from whose affection to us, so considerable a part of the joy of life is derived. His are the showers, which moisten, and the sun, which warms the earth. From Hiin are the pleasure and animation of spring, and the riches of harvest-all, that satisfies the appetite, supports or restores the animal system, gratifies the ear, or charms the eye. With what emotions, let it be asked, are all these objects viewed, and these blessings enjoyed? Is it the habit of man to acknowledge God in his works, and to attribute all the pleasures and security of life to the Creator's munificence? Possession and prosperity are enjoyed, not as a gift to the undeserving; but as the result of chance or good fortune, or as the merited reward of our own prudence and effort. Were gratitude a trait in the human character, it would be proportionate to obligation; and where much is received, much would be acknowledged. In this case, the liveliest sense of obligation would be exhibited among the wealthy, and those whose prosperity had been long and uninterrupted. But do facts correspond with this supposition ? Are God, his providence, and bounty niost sensibly and devoutly acknowledged by you, who feel no want, and are tried with no adversity? The truth is, our sense of obligations usually diminishes in proportion to the greatness and duration of blessings bestowed. A long course of prosperity renders us the more insensible and irreligious.
But, on no subject is human ingratitude so remarkably apparent, as in regard to the christian religion. I speak not of those, who reject; but of those, who believe christianity; and who, of course, believe that God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him, might
not perish. Search all the records of every era and nation; look through the works of God, so far as they are open to human inspection, and you find nothing, which equally displays the riches of divine mercy. The son of God died to save culprits from merited condemnation. But is this subject contemplated with interest, with joy, with astonishment? It is viewed with the most friged indifference, or heart felt reluctance. The human mind, far from considering this, as a favorite subject, flies from it, when occasionally presented.
What inference are we to make from this circumstance ? What conclusion is that, to which reason impels us ? for we ask no gratuitous concessions. We ask you to entertain no opinions in theology, but such as are supported, and such, as, all things considered, it would be irrational to deny. Ingratitude is universally allowed to imply baseness—moral corruption. Ingratitude towards God cannot, in its nature, be less criminal, than ingratitude to men. Our ingratitude towards our Maker is undeniably clear, and astonishingly great. We are therefore chargeable with a high degree of baseness and ill desert.
LECTURE VIII.
--000:
Human Depravity.
So far, as moral corruption is evinced by ingratitude, flagrant and long continued, the existence of such corruption in our species has been shown. The conclusion rests on this ground. 1. That ingratitude is a crime; and, 2. That men are ungrateful to the Supreme Being. If neither of these propositions is questionable, the conclusion is not to be resisted. If the want of grateful feelings is highly criminal; if it betrays peculiar baseness of temper; and if, at the same time, great munificence is exèrcised on the part of Deily, the amount of human demerit is not inconsiderable.
We will now attend to another argument. As in the material world the nature of different substances is known by their affinities; so, by its objects of affection and aversion, we ascertain moral character. Let it be known, with persons of what character a man is most fond of associating, and you find no difficulty in determining his own. Attachment to profligate characters, indicates profligacy. Attachment to the virtuous and upright, indicates purity of mind. Should there be in any town, or village, a person of unusual suavity of temper, benevolence of design, and universal correctness of behaviour; whose knowledge and discernment always selected the most suitable seasons and objects for the exercise of his benevolence, would it not follow, that his
neighbours were extremely deficient in taste and good feelings, if they were not disposed to seek his society, and to consult his judgment? would indifference as to his moral character leave us in any doubt as to theirs ? The conclusion would be more obvious still, if the person contemplated were known to be easy of access, conciliatory in his manners, and habituated to express his mind in terms, which, all things considered, were most apppropriate. Now there is, present with every person, a being, whose character is similar to that described, but, in degree, infinitely superior.
There is a being, whose knowledge of every subject is perfect, and whose decisions are infallible: a being, who interests himself in our situation, and is disposed to impart counsel, and communicate relief: whose benevolence is greater, than human language can describe, or human intellects conceive. He has never refused a favor, when goodness and wisdom required its bestowment; and, far from being inaccessible, he has invited mankind to express to him their situation and desires.
Now, if it can be shown, either that mankind have no love for this divine being, or that they love him in a very low degree, it will follow, that they have a perverse, or depraved taste. That He, in whose character are united the most glorious attributes in the highest possible degree, should not be an object of affection and veneration to creatures of correct moral feelings, is a supposition perfectly absurd.
Could it be proved, that our race in general, though not entirely destitute of love to God, possess this quality but in a low degree; a degree altogether disproportionate to their ability of comprehending his perfections; the existence of moral corruption would be no less certain; though its amount would be smaller.
But how, you inquire, does it appear, that there is in man. kind generally, this deficiency of love to their Maker ? I answer, that this is evident by their not exhibiting those marks of the contrary, which they certainly would exhibit, if such deficiency did not exist.

1.3. Have you selected the most appropriate sized backpack for your child?
Always use the smallest backpack that will suit your child's needs.
1.6. Is the Back Pack being handled correctly? Does your child bend their knees to lift the Back Pack?
The most ergonomic Back Pack is still bad, if lifted incorrectly. Ensure your child lifts with their knees rather than their back!
2.1. Is the weight of the backpack when loaded appropriate for your child?
2.2. Does your child lean forward when they are carrying their backpack?
5.1. Do the shoulder straps allow for adjustment to fit your child?
7.1. How often do you clean out your child's backpack?
7.2. How hygienic is your child's backpack?
8.1. Is your child's backpack appropriately packed?
8.2. Does everything really need to be there?
8.3. Are there heavy objects that are going to be in your child's backpack all day?
Perhaps a separate bag could be used for a laptop or other heavy equipment to prevent it needing to be carried all day.
9.1. Can your child determine what they need to take to school?
9.2. How much time does your child spend wearing the backpack?
9.3. Teach your child to respect their backpack.
10.1. What does your child say about wearing their backpack?
11.1. Does the backpack look comfortable on your child?
11.2. Is your child unable to stand normally when wearing the backpack?
Distortions to your child's posture can be an indicator it is inappropriately fitted or too heavy.
11.3. Does the child have any excessive curve in their lower back?
Poorly fitted backpacks commonly cause disruption to your child's spinal curves. If this is the case then please start from the start of this document and review.
11.4. Does your child slouch at the shoulders?
Is the child's shoulder in a relaxed neutral posture without leaning? This is another indicator the backpack is poorly fitted and should prompt review.
11.5. Can the child wear the backpack and keep their head and neck in neutral position without excessive forward or backward tilting?
11.6. Is the backpack being worn on both shoulders?
13.1. Do you have concerns over the backpacks available? Or perhaps the school does not have lockers allowing the removal of unneeded books from backpacks?
School administrators are busy people so perhaps consider becoming involved in your schools parents group to facilitate change or address issues or concerns you have regarding your child.
Maintain a mindset to reduce the load of your child's backpack!

More than 1,000,000 people have Covid in England right now
More than 2% of England's population have coronavirus, Boris Johnson has said today.
Speaking during tonight's press conference, the PM cited data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) which estimated today that more than 1,100,000 people in private households had Covid between December 27 and January 2.
This is the equivalent of 2.06% of the population, or one in 50 people. The number represents a rise from the 800,900 people who were estimated to have Covid-19 in the period December 17 to 23 – amount to around one in 70.
The figures do not include people in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings.
It comes as more than 60,000 cases were recorded in the UK for the first time today, while a further 830 deaths were reported. The nation has now seen more than 50,000 cases a day for eight consecutive days.
Discussing the decision to lockdown England, Johnson said this evening: 'I believe that when everybody looks at the position [we're in] people understand overwhelmingly that we have no choice.
'When the Office of National Statistics is telling us that more than 2% of the population is now infected – that's over one million people in England – and when today we have reported another 60,000 new cases.
'The number of patients in hospitals is now 40% higher than the first peak in April.'

mRNA Technology To Be Applied To Other Diseases
Posted By: Chloe Nordquist via The Denver Channel December 29, 2021
Now that the human genome has been opened up for inserting synthetic mRNA modeled by computer programs, Transhuman scientists are expanding their reach to target other diseases in other parts of the human body. Direct DNA editing is already in the works as well. ⁃ TN Editor
COVID-19 proved that mRNA vaccines can work. Now, researchers are applying the technology to other diseases.
More than half of Americans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Many of them received an mRNA vaccine that was developed by Pfizer or Moderna.
"mRNA is a blueprint to tell your cells what protein to make," Dr. Scott Joy, an internal medicine specialist and Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare Physician Services group, said.
"It's either a protein that builds the cells, it's a protein that fights an infection, or it's a protein that has some other role in your body," he added.
Though the COVID vaccines are new, research on mRNA and mRNA-based vaccines has been happening for decades.
"It's interesting to look at the data from the late 90s from when the mRNA vaccines were being studied. The issue was not behind the basic science of why an mRNA vaccine would be effective, it was really how do you create a vehicle to get it into the cell to allow it to do what it needs to do. And that's what the last 20 years have really been about," Dr. Joy said.
He said this technology can be applied to more than just COVID.
"We're dedicating hundreds of employees, both in the U.S. and in Europe, to working on mRNA as one of the foundations for new vaccines," Dr. Michael Greenberg, the vice president and medical head of Sanofi Pasteur North America, said. The company has been developing vaccines for decades.
"mRNA vaccines have been some of the ones that have gotten a lot of attention the past couple years because of their success that have been really shown during the COVID-19 pandemic," Dr. Greenberg said.
Their efforts with mRNA started before the pandemic.
"We are the first ever to create, to start a clinical trial for seasonal flu vaccine using mRNA and so far the results are very promising," he said.
The mRNA vaccines can be used to prevent illness in multiple ways.
"The idea was, can we develop a vaccine which is…not just focusing on one pathogen," Dr. Gunjan Arora, a research scientist at the Yale School of Medicine, said.
Arora is part of a team working on an mRNA vaccine for Lyme disease – a tick-borne illness caused by a specific bacteria.
"The idea is if he can develop a technology where we can deliver multiple candidate antigens, can we stop ticks from feeding and eventually that would block the Lyme disease in humans," he said.
Essentially, the vaccine would target antigens found in tick saliva, preventing it from feeding on people and reducing transmission.

I can validate that this applying mRNA technology is already in our everyday experience. Just out of curiosity i submitted an interest in a research study in my own local community in San Diego CA which was to study a new medicine for hypertension. When the research team contacted me by phone the stated that this "would be a clinical trial to assesses the effectiveness of a newly developed mNRA Injectable medicine for treatment of hypertention (high blood pressure)… " I said stop right there No Thank You. Definitely I Will Not Participate in any clinical trial or otherwise that… Read more »
"COVID-19 proved that mRNA vaccines can work". Well really? Seems to me that the call for endless shots and boosters is de facto evidence that they DO NOT WORK. Worse, the growing number of adverse events from vaccines is more evidence that not only do they not work but they are making many humans ill, or killing them in a horrible manner. This is hubris of the Gods … scientists who think they know enough about this technology when clearly they do not. They are tinkering and human beings are suffering because of it.
No. They are dedicating 100's of employees to the pursuit because they got away with it so far in the covid realm. THEY DO NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED. However, they do kill and maim people.

People should learn very quickly that diseases are necessary processes to get rid of toxins.
I truly hope that the mRNA technology can be used to not destroy people's health, but actually improve it. I'm not holding my breath. More money can be made from sick and diseased people" and those with corrupted genetics and destroyed immune systems will be new cash cows.
However, I appreciate the opportunities to learn medicine and tend to my own health. So far I haven't had any genetic freak accidents or adverse medical reactions. It does me well to stick with good nutrition and medicines that don't hijack my immune system or genetics.

I don't know if this would be something you all would be interested in watching, but i keep getting amusing zaps on Tigerfilly that i don't plan to keep.

Hahaha, Nope, gonna zap past that color.
I think that'll do it. I'm going to paint her, move her, and go back to zapping adoptable pets.

Osnipe was adopted out, so in my pet-creating frenzy, i made Madjik, hoping for an Eventide pet. There's no way i'll afford the PB, yet. So i'm zapping.
I GUMPed and moved Madjik and will start zapping my new pound-caught labbie.

Larhma is starting off as a female red Pteri, a pound-adopted zap-adopt project.
Since Larhma turned Chocolate, i'm going to play with Mooquat until he turns into a Zafara. I might give up before that happens and go for a morph, but here goes, maybe visit the Fountain Faerie to "paint" him Water if that one ends up being the consistently outrageously spendy color (chances aren't, though).

The Punjab Spatial Strategy (PSS) is a World Bank funded initiative being implemented by the Government of Punjab. The Punjab Spatial Strategy will assess the potential of Punjab's growth corridors and growth nodes and prioritize and coordinate investments in the province. This strategy will inform in particular public investments related to connectivity infrastructure, urbanization and development of industrial zones, which will be reflected in the MDTF (Medium-Term Development Framework – a multi-year indicative budget) before approval through the ADP (Annual Development Plan – the annual budget) process.
The Urban Unit is the executing department/agency responsible for development of the spatial strategy and will also implement capacity building necessary for linking this to the Medium and Annual Development Budget planning cycles in close collaboration with concerned relevant departments, local governments and other stakeholders. The PSS Cell has been established at the Urban Unit to act as the headquarters for this extensive project. Nodal Offices have been established in Lahore, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, D.G. Khan, Bahawalpur, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sargodha and Faisalabad Divisional Headquarters and Departments to ensure stakeholder participation and province wide implementation.

George Bellows (1882-1925)
photograph c.1920 by Nickolas Muray
George Bellows turned down an offer to play baseball with the Cincinnati Reds and, instead, became one of the greatest American painters and chroniclers of the twentieth century.
Early Life and Career
Bellows was born in 1882, in Columbus, Ohio. Bellows mother was 40, and his father 50, when he was born. His half-sister, Laura, from his father's previous marriage, was eighteen when Bellows was born. Laura got married and left the household when Bellows was two. At school, Bellows excelled at sports and also at art. The summer before he enrolled in Ohio State University, he worked as an illustrator for the Columbus Dispatch newspaper. Bellows majored in English at Ohio State and it was one of his English professors who encouraged him to pursue a career in art.
Bellow's mother was a religious Methodist and wanted him to become a minister, but his father gave him the financial support to study at the New York School of Art. At the New York School, in 1904, Benton met his teacher and mentor, Robert Henri, who encouraged his students to paint the images that they saw every day, rather than the idealized studio and salon versions of the world.
Out of this philosophy, came the Ashcan School of artists, who recorded the plight of the urban poor, the changing landscape of cities and the often harsh realities of everyday life in America. One of Bellow's first exhibited paintings, was 42 Kids. It won a prize at exhibition, which was revoked when critics attacked the work. When asked if the critics objected to the naked children, Bellows answered, "No. It's the naked painting they feared." As New York grew, so did Bellow's career.
Family Life and Later Career
In 1910, Bellows married fellow art student, Emma Story. He was very content with his family life and often painted portraits of Emma, and their two daughters, Ann and Jean. In 1911, Bellows installed a printing press in his studio and began to created lithographs.
One of Bellow's most controversial works were his paintings and lithographs of reported German atrocities during World War l. His depiction of British nurse Edith Cavell, shot by a German firing squad after she was arrested for helping Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium, infuriated critics, who accused Bellows of not being able to portray the accuracy of such scenes, since he had not been there. His response was, "I never heard that Leonardo had a ticket to the Last Supper either."
Some of Bellows most outstanding works are of the boxing matches that were outlawed, and then legalized, in New York. He actually used the boxer, Jack Dempsey, as the model for his painting, Dempsey and Firpo. Though Demsey won the fight, it was the moment in the first round, when Dempsey was knocked out of the ring, that Bellows captured.
Bellows died, a year after completing the Dempsey and Firpo painting, of a ruptured appendix.
Bellows completed more than a thousand paintings in his too short lifetime. He was one of the youngest artists to be elected to the National Academy of Design. His works are included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum, MoMA, the Smithsonian and other museums and galleries around the world.

A few days ago I was in a great mood, looking forward to this long holiday weekend. Had I spent the entire five days off by myself during the day and with friends in the evening, I would be having an ecstatically good time. Instead, my mother is staying with me, and her visit, to say the least, has been a challenge, so the weekend has been dampened a bit. I was apprehensive about her coming, and rightly so, but felt I owed her this one visit a year. It's ironic that my holidays would be more enjoyable without family!
It's funny, isn't it, how so many of us long to escape our nuclear families and our often-stifling suburban backgrounds only to rush ourselves right back into the same situations as adults? Maybe we give ourselves a few years of fun in college and after, but then we start feeling like it's time to return to the nuclear fold. My ambivalence is, I'm sure, another reason I am still flying solo, as well as the fact that it's taken me longer than others, perhaps, to emotionally recover and strengthen.
I won't allow myself to spend too much time in self-pity, but I do feel sad that, as a single woman, I don't come from the type of family that provides emotional succor. I realize, however, that my situation is hardly unique.
Coincidentally, my mood was also (temporarily) dampened for part of this weekend by the co-owner of the BnB I was staying in – In the space of a 1-2 hour conversation, that man managed to press pretty much every single button I have (esp on issues concerning my current / default state of singledom), and left me to (unbenownst to him of course) cry myself to sleep that night like a total loveless loser. Luckily I managed to rally and have a great time with friends the following two days, but the whole incident made me realize just how sensitive I still am about certain topics I thought I was coming to terms with, like the rarity of long term relationships in my life, my likely childless future,etc. Am I even "equipped" as a human being to fall in love? Gah.
Sorry about that. What a bummer. My mom has a tendency to do things like that as well. Although I try to avoid situations that will press my buttons, I do feel a bit stronger in dealing with them when they happen now, and I bounce back faster. Glad he didn't ruin your weekend!

Apink's Eunji expresses concern towards BTS fans after being locked out of an event
Apink's Eunji has been praised for both her singing and acting ability, but perhaps her best trait may be her caring nature.
Netizens recently fell in love with the A Cube Entertainment singer after a fan account of her interactions with fans during the Idol Athletic Championships.
According to fans, some ARMYs (fans of male group BTS) were unable to enter the venue for the event but still remained outside to show their support. When Eunji discovered that there was a crowd of fans outside, she took her time to talk to them and even showed concern for them despite the fact that they weren't her fans or that of her group.
After reading about the interaction, netizens couldn't stop praising Eunji for her caring personality.
I'm an ARMY and she's really an angel ㅠㅠ a lot of other fans not just ARMY got kicked out too ㅠㅠ
That .gif of Eunji smacking a fan's hand jokingly made her seem…closer? More humane?.. Anyways, I love her
They bowed to fans saying sorry because they were absent for hours due to a schedule. Fans can never be angry with them ㅋㅋ Bomi's new haircut is going crazy on their official sites.

Ill Cockroach

75 years ago, january 10, 1942, the Japanese army and navy began landing operation to capture islands is the cockroach. Under this relatively small island size 18х20 kilometers and its coastal area is a large oil field, the capture of which was for the Japanese, one of the main goals of the initial stage of the pacific war. Tarakan, located a few kilometers from the Eastern coast of borneo, was part of the dutch colony of east India (now Indonesia) and he was defended by a garrison of colonial troops numbering 1,300 people with eight field and eight anti-aircraft guns, and seven machine-gun armored cars. From the South approaches to the island, guarded by a shore battery consisting of two 120-mm and four 75 mm guns, and on the North is another, with four 75-millimetrovie.
The east and West, the cockroach was exposed, but there the coast is very swampy, making it difficult landing. Day 10 january a dutch reconnaissance seaplane "Dornier do-24" found a cockroach approaching a large enemy fleet. On hearing this, the commandant of the island, colonel simon de waal ordered to set fire to the oil fields, oil storage facilities and stations for pumping oil. In the evening, when darkness fell, the Japanese, meeting no resistance, began landing on the Eastern shore.
In the operation involved the forces of the 2nd special brigade of marines "Kure" and the 56th infantry regiment a total strength of 6,600 men under the command of major-general shizuo sakaguchi. Early on the morning of 11 january, the Japanese troops began to move slowly through swamps and dense coastal mangroves in the direction of the bright glow, illuminating the burning oil fields and the capital of the island - town cockroach. On the outskirts of this town de waal decided to take up the defense and fight. However, the defenders of the island did not last long.
The Japanese bayonet attack drove them out of the hastily dug trenches and drove into town. After that, the colonel decided that further resistance was useless and sent to the enemy of truce with a white flag and agreed to surrender. That the garrison surrender, it was immediately reported by radio to the second landing of the flotilla, ogisawa Southern tip of the island to land troops on the West bank. After receiving a telegram, the Japanese no longer feared the South coastal batteries and took a course along the coast, within reach of her guns.
However, the battery did not receive the order on delivery, or refused to implement it, opening rapid fire on passing ships. Before their team has time to react and exit the zone of fire several successful hits were sunk by minesweepers w13 and w14, which were used as transports. Killing 200 Japanese sailors and marines. The rest of the ships bypassed the battery and landed behind her.
The marines attacked the gunners from the rear and mercilessly killed all, not taking prisoners. Meanwhile, in tarakan surrendered 870 dutch soldiers and officers. Their fate was sad. General skachati, enraged by the fact that the dutch destroyed the oil fields and, contrary to the agreement on the surrender, fired on his ships, ordered to drown all the prisoners.
On the same day the order was executed. The captives were handcuffed, herded on deck, took a couple of kilometers from the coast and dumped in the water. No punishment for this atrocity, the general and his subordinates did not suffer. Thus, the Japanese demonstrated that they did not intend to wage war in accordance with international conventions and European moral standards of the twentieth century.
Their morality was quite different. The last chord tarachansky drama was the raid on the island of several dutch bombers "Martin-139". Aircraft off borneo, dropped bombs on the Japanese camp, killing 18 soldiers and wounding dozens more. As a result, the total losses of Japanese army and navy in the capture of cockroach is made up of 255 people, of which only 37 were killed in ground battles with the defenders of the island.
May 1, 1945, australian troops began an operation to release the cockroach. The Japanese resisted much harder than the dutch, so, despite the overwhelming superiority of the australians in numbers and firepower, the battle for the island lasted for six weeks. But that's another story. Screensaver - postcard during the war with a picture of how the dutch gunners on the cockroach drowned heroically Japanese ships.

Subject: NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING THE DRUGS (AMENDMENT ACT, 2017
As per directives of Chairman PPMA Dr. Shaiekh Kaiser Waheed Sahab, I am forwarding the below email from our honourable CEC member Mr. Haroon Qassim Sahab regarding the subject matter, for your kind information, please.

Subject: Punjab – NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING THE DRUGS (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2017
NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING THE DRUGS (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2017
The Punjab Govt. was represented by the Minister and Secretary of Primary & Secondary Healthcare Department along with other junior officials. The stakeholders presented their objections to the amendments and, barring a few provisions, almost the whole draft was discussed threadbare. The remaining portion was agreed to be discussed in the subsequent meeting.
Following is the brief summary of the salient features of discussion:
1. The definition of spurious drugs would remain unchanged.
2. A new category of offences covering minor aberrations from the prescribed norms such as friability, dissolution, misbranding, colour fading etc. would be created under the heading "out of specifications". There would be no prosecution and imprisonment for such offences and in most cases recall (whether voluntary or on the instructions of the regulator) would be sufficient. The prosecution may be initiated if the company fails to recall despite clear instructions.
3. We had discussions over the procedure and definition of "Recall" and there was an agreement that in this regard, US FDA definitions may be used as a reference.
4. It was agreed that the time to be given for the recall of drugs is to be a minimum of two weeks. Government authorities contended that different slabs of time should be prescribed for different types of drugs needing recall, and the drugs needing urgent recall must be recalled urgently.
5. Four categories of sub-standard drugs agreed with limits (0-5%; 5-15%; 15-50%; and > 50%) and fines and punishments. The limits would be with respect to the amount of API present in the drug. However, no mandatory imprisonment or minimum fines as was proposed in the Amendment Act.
6. It was agreed between the parties that punishment for subsequent offences should be for the same drugs.
7. There was an agreement to remove the newly added Clause 23 A regarding "aiding, abetting and association in contravention of the Act".
8. Also agreed to remove the newly added 23 B regarding "prohibition of acquisition and possession of assets derived from contravention of the Act".
9. There was an agreement on removing the newly added 27(5) which pertained to the prosecution of drug inspectors and officials of DTLs.
10. Objection was raised by PPMA over the powers given to Provincial Authorities for suspension of license. Government Authorities contended that they are amenable to the discussion of reducing the period during which the license can be suspended but was unwilling to do away with this power altogether.
11. On the matter regarding independent inspectors and monitoring teams, there was disagreement over the contention of the stakeholders that they should not have police powers and they should only have an advisory role. The government authorities left it to the discretion of the law minister.
12. It was also agreed that the amount of fine to a pharmacy or point of sale will be limited to 3 times of the stock in question. Moreover, if a chemist has the warranty he will be exempted from prosecution. If the warranty chain is broken he will be liable where the warranty chain is broken.
13. There also was a long discussion over the treatment of adulterated drugs as these had been put in Section 27(1) along with heinous offences like manufacturing without a license and spurious drugs. However, there is still a disagreement on this issue. It was agreed that a classification system should be introduced for the calculation of the level of adulteration in the drugs. Clauses are to be introduced which will differentiate adulteration of a critical from minor adulterations.
14. The stakeholders also recommended that consultation should be PIC-S certified and it should have an advisory role. However, this needs further discussion.
15. There were detailed discussions over the addition of the offence of storing temperature-sensitive drugs under wrong conditions and its punishment under Section 27(1). The provision has been introduced to punish the manufacturing or transport of temperature-sensitive drugs in conditions that the drug may lose its potency. The stakeholders proposed that storage or transport against the prescribed temperature should only be punished with a fine and that the temperature limits of USP 38 may be followed. They further explained that apart from 2-8 °C drugs, all medicines go through rigorous stability testing, and short term spikes of temperature do not harm the quality and efficacy of drugs. The Government representatives suggested and agreed that if the company has the documents regarding exposure on temperature range then it will be accepted. However, it has been agreed that thermolabile products should be covered under Section 27 (1), while temperature-controlled products will be covered under Section 27 (4).
16. With respect to the offence regarding absence from PQCB, the government authorities refused to accept any amendment.
17. The provision regarding false statements, Section 30 (all offences made cognizable and non-bailable) is to be discussed with the Law Minister.

Northbound Brown Line trains will not stop at Wellington or Diversey on Saturday and early Sunday because of continuing work on the $530 million rehabilitation of the rail route, according to the CTA.
From 1 a.m. Saturday until 2 a.m. Sunday, northbound Brown Line riders who want to exit at those stations should instead travel to the Belmont stop and transfer to a southbound Brown Line train to reach Wellington and Diversey, CTA officials said.
The stops are being bypassed because of construction work to upgrade crossover tracks and signals throughout the Clark Junction corridor, where the Red, Brown and Purple Lines meet just north of the Belmont.
The construction will cause delays from 1 a.m. Saturday through 4 a.m. Monday, so Red and Brown Line riders should allow extra travel time during those hours, CTA officials said.

Wicked to Celebrate their 15th Anniversary by Releasing a Special Two-Disc Cast Album
Do you love Wicked? Of course, you do, just like the rest us. As the hit musical celebrates its 15th anniversary the fans will not be left behind. On February 8th, 2019, Wicked: The 15th Anniversary Special Edition will be available to the public through a special 2 CD set courtesy of Wicked, Verve/Ume. It includes four bonus tracks recorded live during the NBC Special, "A Very Wicked Halloween," which aired nationally on October 29, 2018, and 19 tracks from the Grammy Award-winning Original Cast Recording.
The special edition album is available to pre-save and will be available at the Gershwin Theatre beginning February 8th. Get ready to enjoy the Grammy Award-winning Original Cast Recording, which is certified triple "Platinum" by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for spending more than 257 weeks at the #1 spot on Billboard's Broadway Chart ad recording sales of approximately 4 million copies. The bonus tracks include "For Good" by Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, "As Long As You're Mine" performed by Adam Lambert, "What Is This Feeling?" sung by Pentatonix, and Ledisi, and "The Wizard and I" by Ariana Grande, joined by a chorus of actresses who have also portrayed Glinda and Elphaba.
The trophy cabinet of Wicked includes over 100 international awards including three Tony Awards and the Grammy Award. Wicked has been performed in 16 countries around the world and in over 100 cities. It has also been translated into six languages: Portuguese, Korean, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Dutch. This has resulted in over $4.7 billion in global sales and an audience of nearly 60 million people.
"A magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage."
If you are not already familiar with Wicked, the musical looks at the events in the Land of Oz, but long before Dorothy arrives. The narrative, which is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire follows the life of a young woman, who despite her intellect, and talent, is misunderstood due to emerald-green skin and fiery temperament. In her escapades, she meets a blonde who is the opposite of her persona; bubbly and popular. They eventually become friends until the world decides to call one "wicked" and the other "good" – you can guess who is who.
Thanks to music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, the musical boasts of a thrilling score that includes masterpieces such as "For Good," "Popular," and "Defying Gravity." Joe Mantello (Tony Award winner) directs a creative team Wayne Cilento (Tony Award winner) who is responsible for musical staging, and Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone (producers).

Africa Into
Cultural and natural
adventures abound
By Adrienne Jordan
DEEP IN THE dense bush of the Sabi Sand Reserve, a lioness growls deep in her throat. The low rumble is a curt warning as she struts in front of an open jeep with her cubs in tow. The strut, growl and a baleful glance are a trio of warnings to the awestruck humans that she will protect her young by any means. Almost as soon as she arrives, she disappears in a flurry of tawny orange and dust. All of the passengers in the safari vehicle, including the game ranger, shed a few unexpected tears.
Intimate encounters like this are the core of an African safari. This particular experience remains a personal memory for Lucille Sive, the president of the nearly 50-year-old Lion World Tours company, which has teamed with Costco Travel to offer exciting trips to both South Africa and Botswana (see sidebar). Says Sive, paraphrasing a popular saying, "If you can only go to two continents in your lifetime, go to Africa twice." The continent's charms are perhaps best embodied by its ancient cultures and natural gifts, which can still be tapped—perhaps in a chance meeting with a Bushman in Botswana or a breathtaking encounter with one of South Africa's "big five" animals (lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and rhinoceros), so close you could reach your hand out and touch them.
egrets and cranes wait patiently for your descent down the river canal against a stunning landscape of palm-fringed islands, verdant flora and 2,000-year-old baobab trees. This serene experience is an integral part of a safari trip in Botswana, where travelers can take a guided tour in a dugout canoe called a mokoro.
Other activities include day and night viewing of animals such as zebras, giraffes and lions; walking tours in the African bush; and motorized boat trips where you can view the prolific birdlife and colorful fish in the clear waters. Among the things to watch for are the rare and endangered African wild dogs, which can be spotted in the Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp. During calving season (November through February), sightings of warthog piglets, impala lambs and zebra foals will charm even the most stoic traveler.
Breathtaking Botswana
Imagine drifting down a canal in the serene Okavango Delta in Botswana while a swarm of butterflies maintains a frenzied dance around the tall reeds. Colorful reed frogs and exotic birds such as

The whole world in one country
Picture this: Amid sloping mountains and fertile valleys, a couple visiting the Cape Winelands tastes wine at a historic Dutch estate. They then head to Cape Town's City Centre for open-air shopping at Greenmarket Square. They conclude their day resting on the beach at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain. During their travels, they see mountain peaks, manicured valleys dotted with indigenous wildflowers, and colorful beaches and streams. These diverse activities and landscapes are why South Africa has been described as offering the whole world in one country. According to Sive, "South Africa is a perfect first-timer trip to the continent because you can take part in a range of activities—from urban and cultural experiences to culinary trips, shark-cage diving and safaris."
Whichever area you visit, a trip to Africa is a once-(or twice!)-in-a-lifetime experience, sure to create lifelong memories for families and couples. C

Lion World Tours and Costco Travel
LION WORLD TOURS, winner of the South African Tourism Ubuntu Awards "Top Tour Operator for North America" 2010 through 2013, is a 50-year- old organization specializing in group and individual tours to southern and east Africa.
"This is precisely the kind of expertise we wanted to be able to offer our members through Costco Travel," says Julie Schultz, assistant buyer for Costco Travel.
One of the exciting new South Africa packages offered by Lion World Tours is their Culinary Safari Tour, intimately tailored to accommodate only two people. The couple stays at the home of one of the top chefs in Cape Town and participates in cooking classes and demonstrations, and also takes part in a safari. Another tour, the Safari in Style package, allows travelers to explore the Madikwe Game Reserve in search of the "big five" in their natural habitat. A helicopter ride to the V&A (Victoria and Alfred) Waterfront and complimentary spa treatments are also highlights of this package.
Two luxury travel itineraries with Lion World Tours are available for touring Botswana, including the Luxury & Beyond and Luxury Adventure tours. With both itineraries, travelers stay in plush accommodations. "Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a five-star hotel; picture the walls coming down, and put canvas in its place," says Lion World Tours president Lucille Sive.
According to Sive, "Africa can be an intimidating trip for many people, but Costco Travel recognizes the importance of Lion World Tours ensuring there is someone to meet the traveler every step of the way."—AJ
