New tool could make aspirin safer for preventing heart disease and stroke
Auckland researchers have developed a new tool that could make aspirin a safer and better-targeted preventative for heart disease and stroke.
Vanessa Selak
Thousands of New Zealanders take aspirin on a long-term basis to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the drug's blood-thinning action carries its own risk: potentially fatal internal bleeding. The risk of bleeding varies from person to person, and until now, doctors had no objective way of assessing an individual patient's risk.
A team of researchers from the University of Auckland's Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences and Middlemore Hospital have developed bleeding risk models for women and men which provide just that: a personalised estimate of a patient's risk of a major bleed, which can be used to predict their additional bleed risk if they were to start taking aspirin.
The research, now published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, has been praised in an accompanying editorial by a senior scientist in the United States as "a major step toward more evidence-based, individualized decision making about aspirin use to prevent CVD (and perhaps colorectal cancer)".
Explains the paper's lead author Dr Vanessa Selak, a senior lecturer in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in the School of Population Health, "For people who have already had a heart attack or stroke, the benefit of aspirin in reducing CVD generally outweighs its harms in increasing bleeding. However, guidelines are unclear in people who are at high risk of having their first heart attack or stroke."
She says it is not known how many people take aspirin for CVD prevention in New Zealand.
"There is a lot of confusion about who should take it, so it is likely that some people are receiving aspirin when they shouldn't be and others are not receiving it when they could potentially benefit from it."
To identify the extra bleed risk from aspirin, the researchers had to first work out the baseline risk of major bleeds (ones that resulted in hospitalisation or death) in people at high risk of CVD who were not already taking aspirin. So, they crunched data from over 350,000 such people aged 30 to 79 who had seen their GP or practice nurse for a CVD risk assessment between 2002 and 2015.
The wealth of data maintained by the Ministry of Health allowed the researchers to virtually and anonymously track these people. By linking this initial data via anonymised NHI numbers to lab test results and Ministry of Health data on hospitalisation, pharmaceutical dispensing and mortality, the researchers discovered that the original pool of people went on to have 4442 major bleeds, of which 313 (seven percent) were fatal.
They identified a subset of known risk factors for CVD that were also risk factors for major bleeds: including older age, smoking, diabetes, ethnicity, deprivation, and use of blood pressure-lowering medication. Other risk factors for bleeds that were not also risk factors for CVD included a history of cancer, bleeding, peptic ulcer disease or alcohol-related conditions, or the use of corticosteroids or SSRI antidepressants.
"Our next step is to develop a calculator that integrates the benefits and harms of aspirin for prevention of CVD to make it easier for clinicians to work out, for a specific patient, whether the benefits of aspirin are likely to outweigh its harms," says Dr Selak.
The aspirin benefit-harm calculator – likely to be a world-first – may be available by the end of the year.
The other researchers were Associate Professor Sue Wells, Professor Rod Jackson, Dr Katrina Poppe, Billy Wu, Associate Professor Matire Harwood, Dr Corina Grey, Romana Pylypchuk, Dr Suneela Mehta, and Adjunct Associate Professor Andrew Kerr.
The research was funded by the Health Research Council. The journal article is: Annals of Internal Medicine: Predicting Bleeding Risk to Guide Aspirin Use for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

Okay, so this post is kind of serious. Not like totally serious, but in terms of a baking blog, this is a must-discuss topic. You guys know I bake a lot, but rarely do I make the same recipe more than a couple of times. Sure there are exceptions, like my grandma's pumpkin rolls and our fave chocolate chip cookies, but let's face it – there are just too many amazing creations to make, to go repeating myself in the kitchen.
Here's where it gets serious – I've made this Apple Pie Bread FOUR times in the past 2 weeks. Okay, one of those times I completely forget to set the kitchen timer and kinda became a little too engrossed in my DVR. I sort of burnt that one loaf, but I'm still counting it.
From the moment I first tasted Apple Pie Bread I was smitten. Sweet apples, blended with an enthusiastically spiced batter and finished with a nutty, streusel topping is pretty much my definition of Fall bliss.
I can't get enough of this stuff – for breakfast, for a snack, for dessert. Don't get me started on all the other dirty things we could do with it, like French Toast or bread pudding. My oh my, this Apple Pie Bread is the stuff my dreams are made of.
I can see this being the perfect start to a day of apple picking, or Thanksgiving morning. Just imagine its heavenly scents wafting through the house to wake your family – you'll be the Apple Pie Bread hero.
I can't wait to hear what you think of Apple Pie Bread!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds.
Add buttermilk and baking powder; beat until combined.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat until thoroughly incorporated.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, apple pie spice and salt, whisk until combined.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the bowl and mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Fold in apples, pecans and cranberries.
Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Prepare the Streusel Topping.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour and apple pie spice. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Spoon Streusel Topping over the batter, pressing them gently into the batter.
Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
Depending upon the type of apples you use, you may end up with a great deal of liquid after grating the apples. I suggest using only the grated apples, not the liquid that is produced. If necessary, lightly squeeze the apples to release any excess juice before adding them to the batter.
I have made this recipe using Honey Crisp and Granny Smith apples.
Raisins and walnuts would be a spectacular addition to this bread.
You don't have to wait for the loaf to sit overnight before cutting, it just tastes better after the flavors have had a chance to meld.
Do you have to use Buttermilk or can I use Whole Milk?
I want to go into my kitchen right now and make this! I've had this pinned for a little while and I got sick of just looking at the picture and now I know how easy it is to make. Oh snap! Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking this would be a great addition to my holiday breakfast on Christmas morning.
I haven't tried the recipe with regular milk, so I can't attest to the outcome. Let me know how it goes! Thanks for stopping by.
If I ever try it I'll definitely let you know but I went out and bought buttermilk this afternoon. I plan on making this in the morning for breakfast. I am so excited and can not wait.
This sounds absolutely fabulous! I don't have a stand-up grater, do you think if I finely chopped the apples that would be ok?
Yes, you should be able to keep the cooking temperature the same. Good luck and have a great day!
This is FANTASTIC! I made a test loaf for us a few weeks ago to see if it would be good to give as work gifts for my husband and it was incredibly good. He passed the goodies out yesterday and I've got several requests for the recipe today. This will be one I'll make again and again and can't wait to try it with apples and pears. The only change I made was to dice the apples instead of shred. One recipe made 4 small loaves and I cooked them the same temp and time and they came out great.
I would like to add this on our Christmas Cookie and Bread Trays, will it keep without being refrigerated?
I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to answer this sooner. This should keep fine without being refrigerated. Just remember that it is bread, so cover it with plastic wrap, otherwise the bread will harden and get stale over time.
Looks delicious. Going to make this today. Is there a reason why the baking powder gets added with the wet ingredients and not the dry ingredients like I'm used to seeing in recipes? Does it make a difference?
I adapted this from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, and that's how they had it in the directions. I couldn't say scientifically if it makes a difference or not.. but since baking is science, I didn't mess with it.
I just made this and I thank you. I'm having a still-warm-from-the-oven slice with a little butter alongside a cup of hot, black coffee. It's very moist and flavorful even though my version is streusel-free because I had no pecans on hand. I doubled your recipe and got 3 loaves, albeit not very high ones. I plan to save your recipe and make it again next week with the pecans and streusel topping. Thanks again!
You're so welcome! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you so much for stopping in to let us know your experience with the recipe and have a great day!
I just love your recipies !!! I've tried the best chocolate cake, the best banana bread and now this apple pie bread is baking in my oven as I type ….I do agree they are the best !! I've already made the chocolate cake and banana bread almost 5 -6 times !!!!….my family loves them !! I know for sure the apple pie bread is going to come out just fine :-) ….your tips on baking too are very useful !
That is so wonderful to hear! I'm thrilled that you and your family love the recipes! Have a fantastic day and thank you so much for following MBA!
I love this type of bread for breakfast. I slice it thick and toast it, then cover it with butter. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks!
Everything is better with butter, right? Thanks so much for stopping by – have a great night.
This is delish! Loved it. Def need to drain the juice from the apples after shredding.
Thank you so much! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the recipe! Have a fantastic day!
I made this last night and the house smelled heavenly. I omitted the nuts, folded in 1/3 cup raisins in the batter instead and baked in a bundt pan because I did not have a large enough loaf pan. I let it sit until this morning and it tasted great but it was more dry and dense than I imagined it would be. The texture was almost like a dense scone. I am going to try again and see if I measured all of my ingredients correctly. I grated 6 small Granny Smith apples in order to get 2 cups. There was a lot of liquid from the apples (almost 1 full cup) that I did not use. The batter was very thick. It tested done with a toothpick after 45 min in the bundt pan.
Made two loaves today! One for my house and one to bring to my niece who just became a 1st time mom. The house smelled amazing. We just had some and loved it! No we didn't wait overnight, BUT, I made it this morning and it's been 8 hours…and we just couldn't wait! Tomorrow morning, lightly toasted for breakfast…what a fab recipe! Btw, I didn't have buttermilk so I used non fat plain yogurt…perfect! Thanks for recipe!
Thank you so much for stopping to share about the recipe. I'm thrilled that you loved it! Have a fantastic day!
This recipe sounds so delicious. Can't wait to make it. Alot of my co-workers don't eat nuts, and I was wondering if there was some other way to make the topping.
I made this to take to a luncheon last week and I am making it again today. It is so delicious, easy, and fun to make. I was amazed at how well it turned out. I also used a bundt pan, but mine didn't remove well, despite lots of spraying with cooking oil. It is not a teflon bunt pan but rather Alsacian pottery (I went for "prettiness" and took it in the bundt form). The ladies didn't mind, though, it was such a hit because it tasted out of this world.
I'm thrilled that everyone loved the recipe so much! Thank you for stopping in to share your experience. Happy holidays and thank you for following MBA!
I would like to make the mini loafs with your recipe. If I make them today will they still be fresh enough to give for Christmas?
Maureen, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to answer you sooner. I don't think they would have been fresh 10 days later. I wouldn't make this bread more than 2-3 days before you plan to give it.
Hi Jaime I have a question i have made this bread twice, the first time i got over zealous and pressed all of the juice out of the apples with a potato ricer (my husband said the bread was kinda dry in the middle – go figure :) ). I made it again last night, for my husbands Mens Group this morning, and gently pressed some of the moisture out of the apples my husband said the bread was a bit moister but not much so here is my question – oh i should mention all of the men ate the bread with no complaints, it is lovely bread – my question I am at high altitude does that make a difference, the bread never seems to want to leave the loaf pan and the outside is somewhat difficult to cut through, even with a serrated knife, and it is really crumbly, maybe that is ok – i accidentally put the batter and struesel amount of pecans into the batter but didn't think this would make the bread dry and crumbly. Any and all help is appreciated. I am trying to get a loaf that is moist and not terribly crumbly. Thanks much, appreciate your time and this blog, it is amazing.
Cory, I know that altitude definitely affects the texture of baked goods, but I really can't help because I've never had to bake at high altitude. I would suggest doing some research on how to adjust recipes for high altitude. I think the bakers at King Arthur Flour's website can help you too – they have a chat service where they'll answer your questions for free. Or check out the Become A Better Baker website.
Great idea with the cherries, I'm glad you enjoyed the bread. Thanks for stopping by.
Tried this recipe this morn. Couldn't resist and cut myself a slice the same evening. Omg. It's so moist and yummy. I sub buttermilk w milk and lemon, cardamom and allspice with more nutmeg, cinanmon, walnut for pecans.
Worked out just fine. Loving it. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by. I am so glad you liked the recipe.
I hope you love as much as we did. Thanks for stopping by.
I made a loaf of this over the weekend. Was very good – thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad to hear that you liked the Apple Pie Bread. Thanks for visiting.
Omg. Amazing! I make mini breads to sell at my shop and this bread is simply scrumptious! Moist but sturdy, sweet and tart, and the topping gives it an incredible apple pie taste…I'm very impressed with this recipe! Thanks! !
I am so glad you liked the recipe. Thanks for visiting.
I would suggest wrapping it in plastic wrap tightly and then a layer of aluminum foil over that. It should work fine to freeze it. I hope this is helpful.
I'm so glad that you are enjoying the recipe! Thanks for stopping by.
My son was just told that he is a diabetic. What sugars can I use to make this bread.
I am quite unfamiliar with baking for people with diabetes. I'd recommend checking out this post. I hope this helps.
This bread was amazing! Loved it! Has anyone tried baking this recipe in muffin tins? I'd like to make a batch of muffins for a new mom I know, but I'm hoping they will turn out just as delicious and moist as the bread.
I am so happy to hear you loved the recipe, Lisa! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your feedback!
This apple pie bread looks wonderful. Its on my list of "things to bake when i get back to my kitchen". I musy admit i clicked it open bcos i thought it was a bread, its ckearly a cake, but i need to expand into more cake baking, so i will definately try it.


Notes - 2006: Having recently attained a non VHS>DVD but a Master>DVD via a collector who attained this from the filmer himself; this is definitely an upgrade. The audio is clear, the visuals are focused & a lot less grainy. The audio is still slightly brickwalled w/distortion but nothing you can do about that. Given the fact that the VHS>DVD transfers around were actually pretty good, this transfer is much better. Go for it, seek it out, if you can find it.
Notes - 2000: This is a non-Ozzfest performance smack-dab at the beginning of Tool's participation with the Festival. Filmed from the right-upper balcony, this recording is a very interesting capture of Tool during one of their more interesting phases of touring. MJK is in the sporty-spice phase of 'looks' & the rest of the band is as intense as usual. Excellent performance & this is interesting capture of a tight concert. There are various VHS>DVD transfers of this show floating around so it is suggested that you take notice of what version you have. All in all, excellent stuff.

Q: Confusion surrounding async and return statements What I am trying to do is to make a request to a Web API and then if the input is valid return true from a function and if it is not valid return false. I want the request to be async but I don't want the function to return before the request is validated. While the request is being made, I just want to continue to process input.
Here is the important part of the function:
request({
        url: url,
        json: true
    }, function (error, response, body) {

        if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(body));
            if(body.player !== "null") {
                console.log(body.player.socialMedia.links["DISCORD"]);
                console.log((client.users.get(author).username + "#" + client.users.get(author).discriminator));
                if (body.player.socialMedia.links["DISCORD"] === (client.users.get(author).username + "#" + client.users.get(author).discriminator)) {
                    fs.writeFile(`users/${body.player.uuid}.json`, `{"uuid":"${body.player.uuid}",\n"ign":"${nm}",\n"id":"${author}"}`, {"flag": "w"});
                    successFlag = true;
                }
            }
        }
    });
    console.log(successFlag);
    return successFlag;

If I use async/await I am unsure if input will continue to be processed while the data is fetched.

A: The return successFlag; should be inside the callback, else without getting a response, it would be returned. So change the last 3 line to
    console.log(successFlag);
    return successFlag;
});

Barrick Gold may have finally found a buyer for its U.S. gold assets in the form of Newmont Mining and Kinross Gold.
According to Reuters, the two companies are likely to acquire a package of six U.S. gold assets, which includes Round Mountain, Bald Mountain, Spring Valley, Ruby Hill, Hilltop and Golden Sunlight assets.Neither Kinross or Newmont would comment.
Barrick President Kelvin Dushnisky hinted on Sunday the company expects to complete a deal by the end of the year.
"We just started it (the sale) but already the level of interest is extremely high," Dushnisky told Reuters in an interview.
The deal could bring in between $500 million and $700 million, which would enable Barrick to exceed its $3 billion debt reduction plan this year.
While Barrick isn't contemplating any more streaming deals or transactions that involve the forward sale of future production at a mine for an upfront payment, Dushnisky told Bloomberg that Barrick would consider any offer that comes it way – including a takeover -- but the company is not for sale.
"While they are valuable assets ... if we can generate more value for our shareholders by those assets being in another company, then we are open-minded to that," Dushnisky said.

REVOLUTION SAINTS release lyric video for "Coming Home"
Featuring none other than Deen Castronovo (The Dead Daisies, ex-Journey, Bad English), Doug Aldrich (The Dead Daisies, Burning Rain, ex-Whitesnake, DIO), and Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Revolution Saints have now completed their incredible third album, "Rise". As with the first two well-received albums, Rev Saints (as the fans like to call them) are bringing back the classic melodic rock style that thrilled and delighted legions of fans in the '80s and '90s and still does today! Inspiring, uplifting vocals, soaring melodies, and musicianship to die for is what you get in spades here. Simply put, it is completely badass.
Superbly handling drums and lead vocals is the one and only Deen Castronovo. Already renowned for his drum talents and backing vocals in Journey, Bad English, and more, Deen's excellent vocal talents are once again receiving a well-deserved spotlight on this release. On bass, and co-lead vocals on a few tracks, Jack Blades is well known for his melodic, yet hard rocking approach to songwriting and playing via multiple classic albums by his main band Night Ranger, as well as with the Damn Yankees and the Shaw/Blades releases. On guitar, Doug Aldrich lends his fiery guitar attack to round out this dream-come-true melodic rock band. Doug, who left Whitesnake after a fruitful 12 year run (including co-writing 2010's critically acclaimed "Forevermore" release) and also of Burning Rain and formerly of DIO, has a deep pedigree and is one of today's most respected rock guitarists.
You can tell by the name - and the names involved - that REVOLUTION SAINTS is not going to be your average rock 'n roll band. The project is the vision of Frontiers' President Serafino Perugino, who for years had hoped to work on a project where Deen would be the lead vocalist. Having previously worked with all three artists on different projects on Frontiers, having Deen, Jack and Doug on board together was a dream come true for Perugino.
With production overseen by more and more in demand in-house Frontiers man, Alessandro Del Vecchio, the recording process took place in Milan and in Doug and Jack's own studios in California and Seattle. Songwriting was handled by Del Vecchio, Aldrich, and Blades with contributions from fellow Frontiers recording artist Dan Rossall (of UK newcomers PASSION).
Of special note, the poignant ballad "Eyes Of A Child" was penned by Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw. REVOLUTION SAINTS' music is played with a heart, soul, and spirit that shines through in the music. These songs highlight the passion and enthusiasm of three of the best all-around rock 'n roll musicians in the game today. Truly, lovers of melodic rock have a new favorite album on their hands.

Thrashgasmic Japanizer melting zer! Volcano return with another killer collection of their own metallic wizardry. Leviathan does not fail to deliver their trademark and revered heavy, fast, crunchy, catchy, first quality metal. Is it better than the two previous awesome releases? Me not know yet, it is hard to rank them. But The way of the serpent surely is one of the very best songs in their discography. Fans of Loudness and Flotsam & Jetsam will be delighted, and we all bang our heads in perfect bliss until the end of the last riff!
Argh, EXCELLENT!! Plus Bad Brains que Bad Brains. Merci !
Juste pour information, la track 10 "Sin the Thin" apparait en double dans l'archive, qui comporte 12 morceaux au lieu de 11... Niquel sinon !


In honor of the Winter Olympics, each class at Davison Avenue is representing a country and participating in schoolwide activities. To kick-off the celebration, each class marched in an opening ceremony led by administrators, members of the school's Special Forces, and Olympic Gold Medalist and Malverne alum Derrick Adkins. Each class took an athlete's oath and then participated in Global Play Day, rotating from class-to-class with their "passports" to play games from around the world.

"Hello, it's me!"
There are some people, who, when they telephone, say "Hello, it's me!" Although rather endearing, such people, by doing this, aren't being sensitive to the needs of people with phonagnosia - the inability to recognise a person's identity from the sound of their voice.
Previously, phonagnosia had only been documented in people who had developed the condition after sustaining a brain injury. Now Lúcia Garrido and colleagues have provided what they believe is the first ever description of a case of developmental phonagnosia - that is, the presence of the condition in a woman with no apparent brain damage.
KH, a female, aged 60 at the time of her testing, told the researchers that she had always had difficulty recognising who people were from the sound of their voices. Garrido's team confirmed this in a series of comprehensive lab tests. KH was unable to tell famous voices, such as David Beckham's, from non-famous ones and was unable to learn to associate new voices with the names of their owners. By contrast, she was able to identity environmental sounds, recognise familiar music and infer emotions from both non-verbal sounds and speech.
It seems phonagnosia can join a growing list of specific impairments that can either be acquired through brain injury or present from birth or early childhood. Others include prosopagnosia (the inability to recognise faces; until recently it was thought this condition only arose through injury), dyscalculia (a deficit with numbers), dyslexia, amusia (a musical deficit) and specific language impairment.
The researchers said the existence of phonoagnosia provides support for a modular account of voice processing - this is the idea that different aspects of voices, such as emotion and identity, are processed independently in the brain.
"Other selective developmental conditions have shed light on the cognitive, neural, developmental and genetic basis of particular abilities," they concluded, "and we expect that developmental phonagnosia will provide a means to address these issues for voice processing."
L GARRIDO, F EISNER, C MCGETTIGAN, L STEWART, D SAUTER, J HANLEY, S SCHWEINBERGER, J WARREN, B DUCHAINE (2009). Developmental phonagnosia: A selective deficit of vocal identity recognition. Neuropsychologia, 47 (1), 123-131 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.08.003

I know who David Beckham is, but I don't think I've ever heard him TALK before. Maybe he's more chatty where this research was conducted though.


Play the drinking game to this movie, for every time you hear the words, "Hang on!" You'll end up drunker than Lindsey Lohan.
SPEED – an action movie that delivers a thrill a minute, almost as often as you have to take a drink – arguably put Sandra Bullock, Keanu Reeves and director Jan de Bont on the blockbuster map.
Though this movie is best known for its extended bus sequence, it is composed of three vignettes – elevator (vertical speed), bus (variable speed) and train (accelerative speed).
Segment One: People trapped in elevator – two elevator repair men arrive in a gratuitous flying police car. They are Jack (Keanu) and Harry (Jeff Daniels). One of them is the Brain, one of them the Overactor. I'll let you decide which. Elevator blown up by mad bomber, Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper, doing his Dennis Hopper). Take breath. Onto next segment.
Apparently, driving a bus is so easy a caveman can do it, as a Downtown Los Angeles bus is piloted by Nearderthal-browed Sam (Hawthorne James), transporting a bunch of extras for a Bennetton ad. Bus boarded by gregarious Annie (Sandra Bullock, back when she was just a cute little comer with great legs, not the big-headed icon she would become).
Writer Graham Yost seems to have gotten every ethnicity and job description on that bus, The Construction Worker, The Tourist, The Old Lady, The Asian, The Paka Lady, The Policeman, The Token Blacks, The Guy From FERRIS BUELLER, The White Preppy, The 1930s Lady, but I think he forgot the Indian Chief.
Well, considering it's 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles peak hour traffic, on the 10 freeway near Santa Monica, I'd start placing bets that the bus couldn't possibly get up to 50 miles an hour in the first place. Then I'd have breakfast.
Instead, Keanu clambers onboard the moving bus to try to smoosh up against Sandy's legs as much as possible. Luckily, one of the stereotypes has brought a gun – to shoot the caveman bus driver – precipitating Sandy's Legs having to take the wheel and drive herself into the hearts of America.
Jack assesses the bomb with technical jargon: "There's enough C4 on this thing to put a hole in the world!" Is that a lot?
We could complain about the unreality of taking hard right turns at 50 mph, or the physics impossibility of a laden bus jumping a freeway chasm without an approach ramp, or the fact that Keanu couldn't possibly consider his performance "acting" – but everyone's just having way too much fun.
By the time we are onto Segment Three – the runaway train – our adrenalin is kinda tapped out and it seems superfluous. But Keanu gets to smoosh up against Sandy again, with an added bonus – she's handcuffed to a vertical bar in the carriage.
By the time the 752nd "Hang on!" comes, we're ready for rehab.
Starring: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, Joe Morton, Alan Ruck, Jeff Daniels, Alan Ruck, Glenn Plummer, Richard Lineback, Beth Grant, Hawthorne James, Carlos Carrasco.

10 years after Kony war, mental health challenges persist in Acholi
Saturday, June 25, 2016 — updated on January 09, 2021
Patients receive medicine at Gulu hospital. The hospital handles some 1,000 mental health patients every month, of whom between 200 and 300 are fresh cases .
Effects of 20-year war. A study conducted by Gulu University researchers in 2006, just as the guns were falling silent, found that 62 per cent of the people of Acholi sub-region had mental health problems, especially post-traumatic stress disorder. Government funding, however, did not increase in reaction to this need.
One fateful day in March this year, a mentally sick patient ran amok and, using the spear he found in the shrine, killed the traditional healer who was dealing with his condition. This happened in Pabbo Sub-county, Amuru District, northern Uganda.
The patient was later taken to Gulu Regional Referral Hospital where he received treatment and largely recovered his mental faculties. He was later embarrassed for his actions and apologised profusely. His family "compensated" the bereaved family with some cows under the Acholi traditional justice system, mato oput, and the matter was settled.
This story was related to us by Mr William Odur, a senior psychiatric officer at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital.
Mr Odur has for many years been at the centre of the upsurge in mental health problems in Acholi and northern Uganda in general, occasioned by the two-decade insurgency of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army.
In emphasising how war increases the chances of people developing mental health problems, R. D. Laing, a British psychiatrist, famously said insanity is "a perfectly rational adjustment to an insane world."

In line with this thinking, a study conducted by Gulu University researchers in 2006, just as the guns were falling silent, found that 62 per cent of the people of Acholi sub-region had mental health problems, especially post-traumatic stress disorder.
A similar study by researchers at the Ministry of Health, permanent secretary Asuman Lukwago says, returned similar results. Going by these findings, a widespread and vigorous response was needed to address this problem.
Doing more with less
Government funding, however, did not increase in reaction to this need. A 2010 study found that the government of Uganda committed less than one per cent of its health budget to dealing with mental health problems, and that of this money 55 per cent was committed to the national mental health hospital at Butabika in Kampala.
Dr Lukwago acknowledges that the funding for mental health is low, but insists "the critical aspects of mental health are well funded". Pointing at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital itself, Dr Lukwago says a new unit for mental healthcare has just been constructed, just as has happened at many other referral hospitals.
Whereas Dr Lukwago makes a strong argument for improving mental health institutions all over the country, his response in another way highlights how little the government has done to solve the northern Uganda mental health crisis.
An overwhelmingly high percentage of the drugs that treated mental health patients in northern Uganda over the past decade did not come from the government of Uganda budget, for instance.
Emergency situations
The donor community, as they are usually keen to do in emergency situations, for some years masked the deficiency in funding mental health, particularly in the emergency situation that is northern Uganda.
Non-governmental organisations, foreign governments and the World Health Organisation supplied drugs and trained personnel, in addition to helping initiatives like village health teams.
But 10 years later, the situation is no longer of an emergency nature. And the donors have pulled back. Most of the projects the donors were supporting at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital and other units and the drugs that were being supplied by the donors, ceased about three years ago.
This, however, does not mean that the emergency has been contained. Every month, Mr Odur says, Gulu hospital handles some 1,000 mental health patients, of whom between 200 and 300 are fresh cases. Mr Odur thinks his hospital handles "by far the highest number of cases in the country".
The patients come from as far as Masindi and Kiryandongo in Bunyoro; Lira, Apac, Oyam in Lango; different districts of West Nile; and the whole of Acholi sub-region. Some others come from across the border in South Sudan, Mr Odur says.
The drugs sometimes run out since the donors no longer supply, Mr Odur says, in which case Gulu hospital asks the other districts apart from Gulu to surrender part of their drug allocations from the Ministry of Health.
At the referral hospital, the patients are treated by five clinical officers, one medical officer who is a psychiatrist, and the team from Gulu University medical school.
Traditional healers fill the gap
Gulu Regional Referral Hospital has an in-patient capacity of just 15 and 25 patients, meaning it will be crowded when there are more critically sick patients who need to be managed at the hospital.
Most of the other patients are treated and then return to their homes, where the care is not as good and, depending on how they are treated at home, they sometimes relapse into bad mental health.
Another matter that causes relapse of mental patients is hunger, Mr Odur says. He says because more people go hungry in many parts of northern Uganda during the months of May, June and July, the rates of relapse are highest during those months.
Beyond the psychiatric help, it then seems, enhancing the capacity of the post-war communities to feed themselves will help the war against mental illness.
But if sufficient food is important for one's state of mental health, spiritual issues may even rank higher in the view of many people. Mr Odur says all the patients that end up at Gulu hospital will have seen a traditional healer first.
Joseph Labeja is now a mad person on the streets of Gulu town. On a day his brother, Amos Okello, does not remember in the mid-1990s, Labeja was abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army rebels from Sir Samuel Baker Primary School in Gulu. He went on to become a rebel himself, and for years he participated in raids that resulted in killings, looting and abductions.
Tired of the fighting and fearful that he could be killed at some point, Labeja managed to escape from the rebel ranks after a number of botched attempts.
On returning home, his brother says, Labeja reported to the nearby army detach and later the 4th Division headquarters in Gulu.
Labeja was offered the option of being integrated into the Uganda People's Defence Forces, Mr Okello says, but he turned it down because "he was tired of fighting and just wanted to live in peace".
"Later he (Labeja) started feeling disturbed and told our mother to take him to Awere hill to pray," Mr Okello says. Before Joseph Kony took to rebellion, it is reported that he was a traditional healer and used to spend hours up Awere hill in prayer.
Before launching the war, the story goes, Kony disappeared from his followers for three days and they only later discovered him at Awere hill praying.
On the day he was discovered on the hill, Matthew Green writes in Wizard of the Nile: The Hunt for Africa's Most Wanted, "Clouds were marching through the sky but Kony told his brother not to be afraid, vowing to hold back the storm. He made good on his promise. His communion with the spirits now complete, Kony was ready."
Such is the belief some people have in the healing elements of whatever is at Awere hill. Labeja had perhaps heard of the stories of Awere hill during his time with the rebels, or perhaps earlier before he went to the bush. But when he felt disturbed, Mr Okello says, he was convinced that his situation would not be remedied by anything or at any place apart from Awere hill.
"He appeared to get well every time he prayed at Awere hill," Mr Okello said. But his brother's condition deteriorated irretrievably after their mother died. Perhaps no one else offered him as much care as his mother did. Perhaps he just could not live with the absence of his mother.
Whatever the case, Labeja now lives on his own in the vagaries of Gulu Town and his brother and other relatives only encounter him by chance and offer him whatever they can.
Unknown quantity
Mr Odur spends his working hours trying to ensure that people stay sane. His heart sinks, he says, whenever he goes to Gulu Town.
"In Gulu you encounter many people, many of whom have only freshly run mad; many of them walking half-naked," he says.
Mr Odur, like Dr Lukwago of the Ministry of Health, has no way of knowing exactly how many people in Gulu, northern Uganda and the entire country, need help as regards their mental health.
Both of them agree, however, that the number of such people is higher in northern Uganda than it is in most parts of the country, because the northern Uganda war is the freshest in memory and was sustained for much longer than any other war in the country.
At the height of the war, it was estimated that one in three of all the people in Acholi were herded into camps for internally displaced persons. In the camps these people experienced a number of traumatic happenings including murders and other forms of violence.
A big number of people were born in camps or grew up there. Many of these people, Dr Odur says, "lost out in life" and are now involved in dangerous activities, including substance abuse. Such behaviour, he says, heightens the dangers of mental ill health.
The government, Dr Lukwago says, cannot realistically fully deal with all the problems of mental health. But while this may be the realistic position, it is largely true that the government would have done more about the mental health situation in northern Uganda than it has done.

Q: Caused by: org.springframework.context.NoSuchMessageException: No message found under code Attempting to get Spring internationalization working. I have used classpath:messages basename, created .properties files for languages. They are being corectly copied to web-inf folder and the codes exist within properties file ...
Here is the ide showing everything, please help me. I have copied the set up from another project I have done that works fine. I have tried creating a load of different message files, but its not picking anything up ... pic shows web.xml, spring-servlet.xml, and directory structure.

Edit
If I add the bean definition to applicationContext instead of spring-servlet it works .. ?

A: Keep your message property files outside the classpath(WEB-INF/classes) and define the bean as below
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/messages"/>
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="1"/>

As per the doc ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource provides you benefit of changing the messages on the fly which spring fetches through the cachSeconds. This class differs from ResourceBundleMessageSource only in specifying the resource location.

A: I'll go for my try:
If the file is located under the WEB-INF/classes directory, try :
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basename" value="WEB-INF/classes/messages" />
</bean>

And the name of the file should be either :

*

*messages.properties

*messages_en.properties

*messages_en_GB.properties

Edit - Final try !
What about this way of writing the configuration, I smell sthg here after your last comment:
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    <property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
    <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver">
    <property name="defaultLocale" value="en" />
</bean>

<mvc:interceptors>
    <bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
        <property name="paramName" value="lang" />
    </bean>

A: All the configurartion details all correct but do one thing which ever property files are configured in child configuration file it means your spring-servlet.xml configure all the properties into applicationContext.xml it means parent configuration file maximum it will works. try it and remove the configuration of property details in spring-servlet.xml...........

A: Though to many this sounds foolish, but the mistake my code had that we had written our own MessageSource. Which was calling Spring's MessageSource.
But in the code it was like (MessageSource(MessageSource)). Hence we were doing look up over look up.
Removed the extra call, and its working now.

World Cup will end before 2019 Team India's headache! This player can get a chance at number 4
ICC releases in a program World Cup 2020 schedule in Australia (Photo: ICC / Twitter)
World Cup 2019: It is not yet decided who will go to fourth place in the Indian batting order in the World Cup which starts in May 30 in England. The team's announcement for the World Cup may take place between April 15 and 20.
There have been many shocking decisions about the World Cup 2019 team and in this series, the Indian team management can try all-rounder Vijay Shankar of Tamil Nadu at the fourth position in the forthcoming tournament. Even before this, in the 2003 World Cup, the Indian team gave the opportunity to veteran VVS Laxman Dinesh Mongia, who was an all-rounder spinner. In the 2011 World Cup in India Yuvraj Singh played the fifth bowler and has been successful in grabbing 15 wickets in the tournament.
It is not yet decided who will go to fourth place in the Indian batting order in the World Cup which starts in May 30 in England. In the first three weeks of the Indian Premier League, perhaps the curtain took place. The team for the world can be announced between April 15 and 20.
It is, however, revealed that the Indian team management is satisfied with Shankar's technique and the important thing is that he can withstand the pressure situation. To handle this number, Shankar will get the biggest challenge from Ambati Rayudu. Raidu's average in ODI is more than 47 but it is not in rhythm.
"It is clear that Rayudu did not perform such kind of performance after playing a 90-run innings in Wellington, which could be trusted by him," a team linked to the team told PTI on Tuesday. If he performs well in the IPL, things can change for him, but there is a general perception about him that the big innings he has played are mostly against weak bowlers. "

The advantage of Shankar is that he can never make a big shot and can bowl at least five o'clock. He said, "Shankar can be seen in two ways in the team. The advantage of the thing is that he is capable of rotating the strike and playing a big shot. In Wellington, he showed that he could also face swing bowling very well. What goes against them is that they have played only nine ODIs. "
Hardik Pandya will bat in the seventh position in the team and the fifth bowler's quota will be complete with Shankar and Kedar Jadhav. Captain Virat Kohli said after the one-day series against Australia, "We have almost decided the team combination. There can be a change in the circumstances of the World Cup according to the circumstances. Apart from this, our opinion is clear about our last eleven in the tournament. There is only one place to discuss a bit, but as a team, we are very balanced. "
One option may be that Kohli bat himself at number four and KL Rahul came in third place as the Indian team did in Mohali ODI. Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly, among the greatest cricket captains of the world, advised Rishabh Pant to be included in the World Cup team as the fourth batsman in the world.

Two-year-old Miraz has spent most of his young life behind bars.
His mother, Gulistan Diken Akbaba, is serving a seven-year sentence for belonging to a proscribed organisation in Istanbul's Bakırköy prison, one of Turkey's many "closed" detention facilities.
Rife with overcrowding, the rooms allocated as nurseries can only be used for two hours a day, a few times a week. Children do not routinely receive baby food, toys, or books, with wet wipes only provided with a doctor's prescription.
Akbaba, 32, stresses that these conditions have long-term consequences.
"[Children] grow up without having their peers around, without knowing what toys are, without seeing trees, plants, or animals. Many of them suffer from malnutrition. If mothers have to be in prison with their children, then prison conditions must be arranged accordingly," she said.
Under Turkish law, mothers can keep children under six with them in prison. The only exception is if a mother has been convicted of abuse or murder. Although there are no regulations determining what, if any, services children are entitled to access in prison, many women prefer this option to state care.
According to the ministry of justice, 624 children under the age of six currently live in Turkey's prisons. Children whose mothers are in open detention facilities enjoy a little bit more freedom. There, inmates can spend time in vocational training and even make short visits to relatives.
However, more than 500 of these children are, like Miraz, in closed prisons, with very little open space.
Akbaba was first arrested in January 2012 on charges of "membership of an illegal organisation". She was the district president of the now- defunct pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP). Founded in 2008, the party was banned in 2014 for alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), deemed a terrorist organisation by the Turkish government, the EU and the US.
Having spent two years in pre-trial detention in Bakırköy, Akbaba was bailed until court proceedings finally concluded in 2017 when she was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison.
The police came to take her away one Sunday morning as she ate breakfast with her husband and Miraz, then just seven months old.
Unwilling to be parted from her infant son, she took him with her to Bakırköy.
Shortly after they arrived at the prison, Miraz fell sick. Akbaba repeatedly asked the prison authorities for medicine and wrote letters demanding better living conditions, but said that she received nothing.
Two months later, she was transferred to Gebze prison in the eastern Marmara province of Kocaeli, where conditions were even worse. Akbaba believes that this move was a punishment for her continuous demands for improvements.
"At one point, I was close to a nervous breakdown," she wrote in a letter from Gebze.
Esin Koman, an activist and psychologist who studies how children are effected by life behind bars, said that that prison conditions can leave long-lasting effects.
Koman said that the state must do much more to protect these children and help them develop their physical, social and emotional skills.
Zeynep Bakır is a former prisoner who was also charged with "membership of a terrorist organisation" and for writing opinion articles for a local newspaper.
Immediately after her arrest in May 2013, she was sent to prison in Samsun, a coastal city on the Black Sea. Her son Poyraz Ali, was then two years old and she decided to take him with her.
Bakır, who calls herself a political prisoner, was released in January 2018 after serving most of her six-year sentence. She is now trying to live a normal life with her son and husband in Trabzon, a coastal town in the Black Sea region. There, they run a small handicraft shop and sell jewellery and ornaments to tourists.
Zeynep Bakır with her son Poyraz Ali who was diagnosed with atypical autism while living in prison with his mother.
Bakir recalled that Poyraz Ali began showing signs of distress soon after they both entered prison in 2013.
"He began to behave strangely. His reactions to everybody and every situation were extreme," Bakir recalled. The boy's father took him to a doctor outside the prison, who diagnosed him with atypical autism.
The specialist treatment he needed was not available at the detention facility, so the prison allowed him to access regular hospital therapy. However, his mother was not allowed to accompany him, and Bakır said that it was very hard to be separated from her son while he underwent treatment. As a result, she asked to be transferred to Istanbul's Bakirkoy prison, a request that was granted four months later in September 2013.
There, the prison administration allowed Bakir to accompany her son on his regular visits to the hospital, but the situation was far from perfect. Bakir said there was a lack of food and other resources, as well as none of the special visual and auditory material Poyraz Ali needed to stimulate his mental development.
"There was also a limit to a number of regular children's books that were allowed in prison; it was far from sufficient," Bakir recalled.
She and other mothers repeatedly pleaded with the prison authorities and the ministry of justice to set up a nursery inside the prison, but it took two years for the request to be granted.
At one point, female detainees at Bakirkoy started a protest over the restrictions on the number of children's books allowed in prison. This coincided with the failed coup attempt of July 2016 and shortly afterwards Bakır, one of the organisers of the protest, was told she would be transferred to Silivri prison.
This facility, in north-western outskirts of İstanbul, is where most "prominent terror suspects", as the state calls them, are held and where most suspects in the coup attempt were also sent.
Since Silivri is a male prison with no facilities for female detainees, Bakır decided to give Poyraz Ali to his father and go to Silivri alone.
She said she did not regret her decision because the conditions in Silivri were appalling.
Bakir said that, with at least three inmates in each cell, it would have been impossible for her to have her son with her.
After not being able to see him for four months, Bakir went on hunger strike.
Five days later she was transferred to Gebze prison in Kocaeli where she was reunited with Poyraz Ali.
Since their release from prison, Poyraz Ali has continued to receive special education, but it is hard to tell whether the time he spent with his mother in detention will leave permanent scars on his psyche.
Government officials did not respond to requests for comment on the issue of children in prison.

Cleared all the ILI9225 out of the Arduino IDE, there seems to be a problem with the original ILE9225 download from git hub.????
Downloaded the Arduino version, at first it was very poor quality pixel output.
Changed program from hardware SPI, to software option, now running OK.
Now have it running under hardware SPI, the 9225 is very edge sensitive.
The software SPI is too slow IMO.
Will experiment with a intermediate buffer IC.
Here is a schematic of the latest 18LF4520 TEST PCB.
As usual check for faults, please.
EDIT: I've edited the 5110 out of the title.
EDIT: I can change the 5110 to the present module, if wanted.
After a quite a few hours, with no success, trying to use Oshonsoft basic to drive the Hiletgo 2.2inch SPI TFT LCD, I decide to retry the 3 off, Arduino UNO with the 3 off, TFT LCD modules.
When using the Arduino program hardware version of the SPI, the LCD's would work intermittently, with very poor quality or sometimes not at all, when the module was subject to even a small rise in ambient temperature, but worked OK with the software SPI, but slooow.
Do you have any information regarding the work you have done when using these TFT's, with hardware/software SPI.?
I am wondering as the price per module was lower than expected, that I have bought some production rejects.
Sounds like the clock polarity is wrong... These module clock on the rising edge The ILI9225 has a High polarity and the ILI9341 has a Low polarity... The Hiletgo 2.2inch can have the latter chip in!!
Mine haven't come yet, although I have received a couple of similar sized 240x320 modules I ordered at the same time, these use the ILI9341 and I simply plugged them in, in place of the larger ones I already have, and they worked with no changes.
As soon as they turn up I'll give them a try, although I'll obviously have to port the code to PIC to test them with a PIC.
OK, mine arrived today - just tried them both (I ordered two), first with software SPI - so the module plugs directly in the Arduino, but you have to alter the pins used in the driver demo. I then removed the display and wired it to the hardware SPI, both worked fine again?.
Obviously if it works with software SPI, it 'should' work with hardware - unless it's set to the wrong mode, or it's running too fast.
I'll get a board made for a PIC, and port the library for it.
Works fine on my PIC24F here as well, on both software and hardware SPI - I'm feeding it with 3.3V supply and signals, and it's fine at that.
Slightly smaller at 2 inch, and not 5V tolerant, but does come with a touch screen as well - and at a silly price. They also use the ST7775, which I prefer to the ILI9225 - which doesn't seem to provide screen rotation, and has to be done rather crudely.
Book marked your ali link, I will order a couple of modules.
The 3, ili9225 2.2" TFT LCD modules I have, are still giving intermittent operation.
Checked the onboard 3Vreg its OK, the onboard HC245 level shifter should be OK for 5V signal to 3V conversion input to the 9225 IC.
Works OK 'sometimes' when powered On, runs the Arduino UNO demo OK, other times no operation or corrupted display.
Pinching a connecting wire between finger and thumb can cause display corruption.
Connecting wires from UNO to LCD are approx 3" long.
Having the module powered from the USB or a external 9Vdc PSU or both, gives the same intermittent operation.
Tried 3 Arduino UNO's , these UNO's work OK on other SPI projects.
Noticed also that the LED back lights do not work.?
Becoming convinced that I have three duff LCD modules.
Seeing that you used 3.3v, I decided to try resistive dividers 2k2/3k3 between the 5v powered UNO and 5v powered TFT, on all 5 signal lines.
All three LCD modules now work OK, with HW and SW SPI.
It looks as though the onboard HC245 level shifters are not working as expected, perhaps getting 'punch thru' of the 5v signal levels.
Now its back to the 18F4520, added the resistive dividers to the development board.
I used it 'as is' on the Uno s0 5V, but of course the 24F chip is 3.3V so that's what it was fed from there, both power and signal.
Now have the 9225 LCD module working with Oshonsoft Basic, programmed into a 18F4520 PIC.
Both the PIC and LCD are powered by 5v, series 2k2 resistors in series with the 5 signal lines, are required for stable operation of the LCD.
The screen fill speed with colours is comparable with the Arduino in software SPI mode.
The Oshonsoft SPI, as most users know, is software based, which is a pain.
Next step is to tidy up the graphics then write text to the LCD.
If you send me your init code and the graphics write it'll speed things up..
Thanks for the kind offer, I have more work to do on the 9225 Basic program development, ie the text routines.
I have considered adding a SPI assembler block of code to the the final Basic program, so I may get back to you shortly.
Slowing down a little, now in my 86th solar cycle.!!!
86 and as sharp as ever, well done.
In the 86th Solar cycle means I am only 85!, at the end of this annual solar orbit I will be 86.
If used with your screens, it'll speed things up a tad!!
Here is the code for a pic18f4620 running at 8Mhz internal clock..
Many thanks for that, have downloaded your program, it compiles OK, has to rem out the ----------------------- spacers.
Trying it it out later.
The simple LCD graph functions have been tested, reasonable.
Started on the Basic for the writing text to display, the limitations of the Oshonsoft maths conditional statements means loads of work arounds, calling it a day, start fresh tomorrow.
I am trying to do a linear buffer for oshonsoft.. I want a 1k buffer for screen double buffering..
has to rem out the ----------------------- spacers.
I got some 18F4620 for SD card projects.

So Sunday was a nice hot day and of course a good day for a swarm.
As usual, I launched in with no gloves and due to some poor trig, the bucket to collect the bees was not quite under the ball and they fell all over my arm and stung cause they were not happy at all… Hello Mr Crab Claw.
We also managed to install "La-Boheme" into an inner west community garden where they will be happy bees with lots of forage.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority over the weekend said they were not enforcing guidelines for campaign motorcades, but were urging candidates to be considerate to other motorists and follow road rules.
Edison "Bong" Nebrija, MMDA Edsa Traffic Manager, said having motorcades on main thoroughfares should be avoided, even on weekends.
"Even before the local campaign started, we tell the candidates that, if only it is okay, should they do a motorcade, they should avoid going through the main thoroughfares, even if it is the weekend," Nebrija said.
"During weekends, our fellow Filipinos just want to have a family day and go out with their children, and yet when there is a motorcade, the line of cars on the road is very long, they are really affected," he said.
Nebrija reminded candidates to be considerate of fellow motorists and to refrain from actions that would aggravate others, as this may backfire on them and reflect on election results.
He also warned those who would join motorcades onboard motorcycles to wear helmets.
"Just because you are in a motorcade does not mean you are exempted from harm. For everyone's safety, wear helmets. You can put campaign stickers on the helmet," Nebrija said.
Nebrija said candidates should also inform the MMDA of their motorcade plans so they could help manage traffic during the activity.
"Candidates are not required to secure permits from us, but many reach out to the MMDA when they are planning to have a motorcade, advising us on their route. This helps us because we can send out our traffic enforcers and help with managing traffic," he explained.

La Guerre de la coquille (en anglais : Scallop war) est un conflit maritime opposant pêcheurs français et pêcheurs britanniques autour de la pêche des coquilles Saint-Jacques en Baie de Seine, au large de la Normandie. Le conflit a pour origine les différentes restrictions de pêche entre les deux pays : les Français ne pouvaient pêcher les coquilles que du 1er octobre au , tandis que les Britanniques avaient l'autorisation de pêcher toute l'année.

Contexte

Les pêcheurs anglais pouvaient pêcher plus longtemps que les pêcheurs français la coquille Saint-Jacques.

Le , une quarantaine de navires de pêche français arrivent vers plusieurs navires de pêche britanniques. Certains pêcheurs français jettent des pierres sur les navires britanniques, ainsi que des filets afin d'endommager les hélices et moteurs des navires rivaux. Des fusées de détresse ont également été tirées vers les Britanniques selon plusieurs pêcheurs.

À la suite de ces incidents, un accord reconductible est conclu en 2013 afin que les navires des deux pays respectent les mêmes périodes de pêche. L'accord ne s'applique cependant pas aux navires britanniques de moins de 15 mètres, qui peuvent continuer de pêcher toute l'année, ne mettant pas un terme aux tensions.

2018
Afin de protester contre l'autorisation toujours donnée aux navires britanniques de moins de 15 mètres de pêcher en Baie de Seine, les pêcheurs français refusent de reconduire l'accord de 2013. Cela permet aux britanniques de venir pêcher plus tôt et avec des bateaux plus importants.

Le , environ 35 navires français des ports de Port-en-Bessin, Courseulles, Ouistreham, Trouville-sur-Mer, Honfleur et Le Havre notamment tentent d'encercler 5 navires britanniques venus pêcher la coquille. L'action dégénère en affrontement, avec jet de pierres, de filets et de fusées de détresse. Encerclés, les navires britanniques contre-attaquent. Certains navires sont utilisés comme béliers. Trois navires français sont endommagés avant que les gendarmes n'interviennent et que les Britanniques ne quittent les lieux.

Le ministre français de l'Agriculture annonce une réunion de concilliation pour le , déclarant que la Marine française était prête à intervenir pour empêcher tout nouvel affrontement. Les négociations échouent finalement le . Le ministre de la pêche britannique George Eustice condamne des violences « inacceptables ».

Néanmoins, les négociations aboutissent le  à un accord au sujet du calendrier de pêche de la coquille. Les pêcheurs britanniques devraient alors quitter la zone de la Manche Est « et ne reviendront que le 1er novembre », a assuré Pascal Coquet, président de la Commission nationale coquille Saint-Jacques du Comité national des pêches.

COVID-19 and physician wellness: the path forward »
COVID-19 in many ways catapulted health care into the future as it propelled the rapid adoption of technologies such as telehealth, drones that deliver medical supplies, and germ-zapping robots. At the same time, a U.S. public health infrastructure stuck in the era of the lowly fax machine hampered COVID-19 case reporting and contact tracing, which are crucial to slowing the virus' spread.
As part of this year's virtual SXSW conference, you'll learn in this session about how the pandemic:
Accelerated adoption of certain technologies that once seemed far-fetched;
Highlighted technological, structural and social divides that slowed efforts to control the virus; and
Made the case for reimagining, rebooting and retooling America's health care infrastructure.

Q: Duplicate Low Quality Post in First Post & Late Answer - Double Flag? I've been occasionally seeing the same post show up in both First Post and Late Answers review queues, and I'm wondering what the expected behavior is if it appears again - should I flag it a 2nd time as a poor posting in the 2nd review category or just always press skip? It's tempting to flag again and have that count as an additional review but I don't want to annoy moderators this would come across as abusive double flagging.
I'm also wondering why review would show it to me a 2nd time if I've already indicated it has a problem in another review category, is that intentional for some reason or just maybe something that happens infrequently enough to not be worth coding a filter for?
Sorry If this has been asked before in a different way, I searched around for a bit and these were the closest questions I could find but didn't address showing up in multiple review categories:
Reviewing first posts and late answers, brings up already reviewed posts
Posts already reviewed by me show up again

A: This is by-design. You actually don't even have to take any action the second time. If the same exact post shows up in another task and you'd already taken action on it in a previous task, the I'm Done button is enabled from the get-go. Just click it.
To answer about flagging, you can't. You can only have one pending flag per post, so if you attempt to flag it again, you'll just get a nice notice about not being able to do that.

A: What you can do once one was flagged is to go to the other and refresh the page (note that I'm speaking as a user who does this normally on the responsive version (in my phone) and so refreshing the other tab is needed). Then you'll see the "No action needed" button getting inactive and the "I'm done" gets active. So you just need to click "I'm done".
This to me also shows that if what one looks for is increase review count, then it is a good procedure to open always both "First Posts" and "Late Answers" when there's that opportunity.
