By Dr Natalie Caristo MBBS, BSc (Hons), FRACGP
The majority of the patients I see when I’m making home visits in the after hours are children. And parents often say to me, “Doctor, he seems to have a cough all the time”, or “She’s always got a blocked nose”. Does your child seem to be constantly coughing (especially at night time), sneezing, or suffering from a blocked nose and waking up feeling tired?
It is possible they may have enlarged adenoids. The adenoids are immune tissue, just like the tonsils, located at the back of the nose. They swell up during a viral illness and produce lots of mucous which runs down the back of the throat and causes kids to cough. After an illness they can take a few weeks to shrink back down, but if a child gets exposed to another virus in this time, adenoids are the optimal breeding ground and so the cycle continues.
Some other kids have persistent runny noses even if they haven’t been sick, especially at this time of year and that could be secondary to an allergy. Allergies are far more common than you may realise, with allergies such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma, eczema, bee sting allergy and food allergies affecting almost 20% of the Australian population.
Detecting allergies early is important, because it can help you understand the problem, improve your child’s quality of life and reduce the number of days your child will be absent from school or miss out on holiday fun.
With symptoms similar to the common cold, allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is the most common childhood ailment triggered by allergies. A runny nose, itchy nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy watery eyes, and chronic ear problems are all symptoms of hay fever. Hay fever also impacts people with asthma, as it can make the asthma worse and more difficult to control. Early identification and treatment of allergic rhinitis can help kids to cope with this debilitating condition.
Nasal congestion can lead to breathing through the mouth while sleeping, which can lead to the child having poor sleep and also affect the healthy growth of teeth and facial bones. Early treatment of allergies can help prevent these problems. The swollen adenoids can also make it difficult for kids to clear the fluid from their ears which makes them prone to ear infections and can affect their speech development.
If this sounds like your child – first place to start is your GP. They can discuss the symptoms with you, examine your child and confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms are seasonal then it is likely to be related to pollens and grasses and most of the time we don’t need formal skin prick testing and treatment can be initiated with a nasal spray. Dust mites are also another common allergen, particularly kids with asthma, and thus we recommend house dust mite minimisation strategies which include washing sheets and bedding weekly in hot water, covering mattresses and pillows with dust mite protectors and if possible replacing carpet with floorboards or tiles.
Babies and young children can have food allergies, some of which can trigger a life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis). It is thought that approximately 1 in 10 babies and 1 in 20 children will have a food allergy, usually not severe, which they may grow out of. Common triggers include egg, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, soy, seafood and wheat. Mild to moderate symptoms include: swelling of the face, lips and/or eyes; hives or welts on the skin; and abdominal pain or vomiting.
Children with food allergies should be referred to a paediatric allergist for further investigation as skin prick testing alone can give false positives and negatives. This will ensure patients who require avoidance of foods do so appropriately and other kids are not avoiding foods unnecessarily.
Symptoms of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) include: difficulty breathing; swelling of the tongue and /or throat; hoarseness or difficulty talking; wheeze or persistent cough; persistent dizziness; and a pale and floppy appearance (in young children). If you think your child is showing these symptoms, call an ambulance or go to hospital immediately.
Stinging insect allergies
The sting from wasps, bees, hornets and certain ants can cause an allergic reaction in some people. The reaction can range from mild to severe, and it is important to have this allergy diagnosed so you can be prepared for an emergency.
In a small number of cases, children can be allergic to common medications such as antibiotics, anaesthetic agents, aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If your child has an adverse reaction to medication, your doctor may try and pinpoint the problem or recommend you to see an allergy specialist. For severe allergic reactions, (such as anaphylaxis – see above for symptoms) go straight to hospital.
If you think your child may suffer from allergies, it is important to see medical help. Your doctor can help to confirm suspected allergies and give you the right advice to manage the allergy.

I love bypassing the chemical middlemen of this world and making a bee-line to mother nature whenever possible. I already told you about one of my favourite kitchen cupboard beauty secrets — oil (and it’s dozen and one functions), but there’s another ingredient in your kitchen pantry that’s got amazing healing properties — honey! It’s been used on wounds for thousands and years and today’s docs are realizing that it’s also kick-butt at healing antibiotic-resistant burns and wounds.
All honey is naturally antibacterial but the darker the honey the better for you it’s proving to be, so buckwheat and manuka honey have more antibacterial properties than a light coloured honey. Buckwheat honey has been found to be more effective than over the counter cough suppressants though manuka honey is probably the most research backed for tackling burns, wounds, even reversing antibiotic resistance and tackling chronic sinusitis. Things that make you go hmm: researchers have found the vast majority of honey’s antibacterial powers actually come from a protein added by bees called defensin-1.
Honey’s also a great humectant, which means it attracts moisture, so mix it with olive oil as a hair treatment or whisk it with an egg yolk and a little yogurt as an amazing anti-aging mask!
P.S. Try honey on cold sores too!
For more on the plight of honeybees and whether buying organic honey helps, check out a column of mine on the topic (ignoring the photo gaff of the hover fly!).

A notable Mortal Kombat insider has stated that Mortal Kombat 1’s future content has been cancelled following poor sales of the Khaos Reigns expansion.
Reddit user _FateUnknown, who has verified insider status on Mortalkombatleaks, is the source of the information.
The story begins in a Reddit thread in which a user posted about whether a recent Interloko video discussing potential DLC fighters for Mortal Kombat 1 was accurate. _FateUnknown replied by saying, “It is not.” The OP asked _FateUnknown ifg there was even going to be a Kombat Pack 3, to which Unknown replied “no.”
The OP then created second Reddit thread focusing on _FateUnknown’s comments, titling it “Guys….it’s so over.” Our insider then appeared in that thread to offer more substantial information.
“Kombat pack 3 and a second story expansion were planned,” said _FateUnknown. “All cancelled recently, no more characters after kombat pack 2. A kameo or two might make it since there has been work done on them but i dont know yet.”
When asked why the content was cancelled, _FateUnknown informed fans that it was because “Khaos reigns sold poorly.”
Indeed, developer Netherealm has been fairly quite about Khaos Reigns. They have not offered any information on how well it sold. Fans did pick up on how quickly the expansion was offered at a discount though, a potential hint that it wasn’t selling well at full price.
_FateUnknown’s claims about low sales would not be surprising though, because Netherealm launched the expansion for £40/$50. The previous story expansion Netherealm made for Mortal Kombat 11 was priced at £34.99/$39.99, which many fans already found expensive. However, Aftermath review pretty well and most fans were quite pleased with it. In comparison, Khaos Reigns didn’t review as well and fan reception was lukewarm at best, making the higher price-tag far more painful.

For the last two weeks my mantra has been -- "Let it be over!" It being school. Finally, it has come to pass. Thursday was the last day for my stepson who graduated from junior high and my daughter who moved up to first grade. At least 50,000 school trips were planned during those uber weeks. Then, there was Jay's junior high graduation that took place at his new high school. Fortunately, it was near to Mimi's gymnastics class so we could walk over. It was East Coast humid inside. I could feel my makeup melt into brownish goo. My daughter fell asleep across my body, my purse disappeared and her toy fish, which her gym teacher referred to as a "trophy," was lost -- a fate far worse than losing my bag. I tried to remain Zen -- this being Marin County -- about both. I spotted the fish. No purse. I listened to 14-year olds orate about what the future holds for them and for us. Got to love that young, yet to be jaded wisdom. My stepson, with a name that ends with Y, was third to last to graduate -- and it was a large class. I made a mental To-Do list, a mother's second best friend beside a good pedicure on an ugly foot day. The credit cards to be cancelled, and my phone! I always feel timeless without it, as it doubles as my watch. And the thought of cancelling my ATM card, coming up with a new PIN number and waiting for a new card, this on top of the will it ever end two school weeks -- was a lot for a stressed out mommy to handle. The "ceremony" finally ended. My husband miraculously found my purse. "Why do you always wear black?" he asked. "Because I can't find anything darker," I said.
Then came yesterday, Sunday, my niece was graduating from Stanford. Our family shlepped down to Palo Alto in two cars and in the blazing heat watched Tiffany receive her undergraduate and masters degrees in electrical engineering. She's 21. Apple, Disney, Google, snap her up! (I promised my niece's parents I would write that.)
But I had to miss their party so I could race back to Book Passage to hear Jane Ganahl, author, Naked on the Page, former columnist, co-founder of Litquake, and all-around great girl, speak to my writing group, The Writing Mamas Salon. This being Father's Day, I wasn't sure how many people would show given a mother's guilt for doing something for herself on her husband's Hallmark Card made-up holiday. But 15 mothers did, along with a man, perhaps the biggest mother of all -- and I say that with kindness.
Jane read from her book and was warm, honest and LOL! She announced that Naked on the Page, a title that is beyond true for any writer, has been optioned by TBS for a TV series!!! Go Jane! See, you don't need Dick, or even Spot. While television is a notoriously fickle and frustrating industry for authors, the stars seem to be aligning as major players have said they want to be involved, including actresses Edie Falco (Carmelo, give us a hint. We're STILL trying to figure out The Sopranos ending) and Allison Janney, formerly of The West Wing. The director Betty Thomas is interested and so is a former Seinfeld writer. So, Jane, here's hoping that soon Jimmy Choo and Prada are your best, or as my daughter would say, bestest fwends.
Additionally, Jane announced that Litquake, San Francisco's largest and most beloved literary festival, will begin on Oct. 6. It will run eight days and involve some 350 writers speaking in about 50 venues. This year will be extra special because on opening night, Armistead Maupin, Tales of the City, will be bestowed Litquake's first Barbary Award.
Well, The Writing Mamas and The Writing Papa who attended Jane Ganahl's speech had a blast, learned a lot about writing, literary agents, publishers, and TV deals. A Father's Day well spent. No tie required.
Raced home to my husband, stepson, and daughter who jumped into my arms at 9:15, still not in her pajamas and with her Hello Kitty! sticker still attached to her cheek as it had been since 7 that morning, and wanted to play catch with her stuffed animal chicken, who she calls Ella. She has a stuffed animal collection that numbers 200, and each is named Ella. When I look at them I see not toys, but individual moments of giving in to her "need" to have them. And my need not to hear her whine. I finally got Mimi in her jammies, read a book about a boy who grows a plant in his belly button, we hugged it out, and she fell asleep.
Then I edited a blog for our Writing Mamas Website, http://www.writingmamas.com. We post a new one by a different mother daily. And one mom, Julie Richter, wrote a beautiful post about being a single mother to her three sons on Father's Day, as well as everyday. She is a true hero.
Lorrie Goldin, another Writing Mama, sent an e-mail that a blog she wrote for The Writing Mamas Website will appear on NPR's KQED's Perspectives on June 22 at 6:07 a.m., 7:37 a.m., and 11:33 p.m., as well as Saturday and Sunday at 7:37 and 8:37 a.m. It's called She's Back. Originally, Lorrie feared her daughter leaving for college would make her lonely. Now that her daughter's home for the summer, Lorrie's trying to recall what she originally feared.
Coincidentally, on Friday, June 22, The Writing Mamas Salon will hold its Mothers' Night Out! Mama Monologues Spoken Word Event from 7-9 pm at Book Passage. The Writing Mamas will read their original esssays and blogs about the hysterical, touching and truthful moments of motherhood. There will be wine. Mothers need lots of wine. Our guest Writing Mama will be Joyce Maynard, At Home in the World, To Die For, Internal Combusion. This is also a fundraiser for Family Services of Marin (www.fsamarin.org), a fee of $10 is suggested, which offers counseling and other aid for families in need. A Writing Mamas chapter will soon start in the Canal area of Marin for Spanish-speaking mothers. And young, single mothers, many of whom suffering from post-partum depression, will be given journals so they might voice what is in their hearts.
At home I found e-mails from women, in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Vermont who want to start Writing Mamas Salons in their own areas. Writing Mamas Salons are beginning across the country, including New York City, Tampa, York, Penn., and Las Vegas.
If you're interested in starting your own Writing Mamas Salon, you can e-mail me at [email protected]. Check out our Website, http://www.writingmamas.com. You can be published or not. All that is required is that you're a mother (and the four-legged variety counts, too) and you have a need to write. Many of the mothers who began at our original salon at Book Passage, which is now three years old, have gone on to be published in newspapers and magazines, the Internet, NPR, and in books. Our motto is: When you become a mother -- you've got a lot to write about. You'll find the salons to be warm, encouraging and supportive places for women to talk about motherhood and writinghood and to have a neighborhood in which to do both. And like the best of neighbors and the best of friends, there is much laughter and a real sense of community.
Right now something of a miracle has occurred. Mimi is at camp, a friend has offered to take her for a play date afterward, and this will allow me several precious hours to finally work on my own writing. It's a novel about the first year of motherhood for five very different women. It takes place in Marin and is a satire. I have 30 pages to go (the last ones are always the hardest) as I hear my stepson and his friend, Max, screaming at the videogame I told them not to play that they are playing anyway). It's background music. But then, kids always are.
Founder, The Writing Mamas Salon

In May 2021, a heritage plaque honouring Ann and Samuel Sterne was installed by the Town of Caledon. The plaque outlines Ann and Samuel’s contribution to early commercial development in the northwest quadrant of Bolton’s downtown core. They were similar in age to George Bolton, arriving in Bolton’s Mill about 10 years after George purchased 200 acres and built the grist mill.
The plaque, a combined effort by Town staff and Albion Bolton Historical Society members, is located on the south side of the Humber River, beside the path that runs between the Bolton Heritage kiosk on Queen Street North and Ann Street. While this new interpretive plaque has been unveiled during Bolton’s Bicentennial year, it was put into work several years ago to coincide with the naming of the adjacent Ann and Samuel Sterne parking lot. Regrettably, Covid-19 guidelines precluded having a public unveiling event.
The full text of the plaque follows:
Ann and Samuel Sterne Early Bolton Settlers and Entrepreneurs
This land has been occupied and used by Indigenous peoples for millennia, including the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee peoples. It is the treaty and territorial land of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation having been acquired from them by the British Crown through the Ajetance Purchase (Treaty 19) in October, 1818.
Provincial land surveyor James Chewett’s 1819 survey of Albion Township divided the valley into 200-acre quadrants, separated by the 7th Concession Line (Queen Street) and an unsurveyed dirt track that evolved between Lots 8 and 9 (now King Street). The crossroads where these streets intersect eventually became the commercial heart of the settlement, known today as the ‘four corners’.
Nestled in the Humber River valley, this site commemorates early settlers Ann Plummer Sterne and her husband Samuel Sterne, immigrants from Wexford County, Ireland. The Sternes, whose property extended on both sides of the river, were instrumental in shaping early commercial development in the hamlet of ‘Bolton’s Mill’. Two nearby street are named after them.
When Ann and Samuel Sterne arrived around 1831, Bolton’s Mill was little more than a clearing beside the grist mill built by George Bolton on the south bank of the river along what became Mill Street in the hamlet’s northeast quadrant (Lot 9, Concession 7). The Sternes were joining Ann’s parents, Elizabeth and Ralph Plummer, who had settled ten years earlier on what became the southwest quadrant of Bolton’s core (Lot 8, Concession 6).
Samuel initially leased the Crown Reserve immediately north of his in-laws, which offered fertile farmland and river access (Lot 9, Concession 6). He and Ann built their log home and barn close to the river at the east end of the lot, land that became the northwest quadrant of Bolton’s downtown core.
Around 1833, Samuel took over the operation of George Bolton’s general store. By 1834, he had replaced George as postmaster, running the Albion Post Office, open since 1832, for seven of the next eight years. After gaining title to Lot 9 in 1835, Samuel started planning his own commercial interests: a store, an inn and a distillery to supply both. By late 1839, Sterne’s Inn, a two-storey, mudbrick building, was ready to welcome travellers as well as farmers hauling grain to the mill. The inn was the first in the hamlet and its cluster of wagon sheds and stables formed a rear courtyard. Development had already started on George Bolton’s property east of Queen Street where Thomas Rogers’ smithy/inn, Francis McDonald’s cooperage and Richard Paxman’s tannery were taking root. By 1840, Bolton’s Mill also included a schoolhouse and entailed 14 or 15 buildings, of which half were houses, some of which doubled as commercial establishments.
In 1843, Samuel started selling building lots close to the four corners. Some were bought by non-resident speculators, while those purchased by shoemaker George Evans, weaver John Donnelly and carpenter Thomas Hainsworth were typical of early, rural commercial enterprises. By 1847, George Evans had converted his cobbler’s shop into a two-storey brick building with a tavern, known as the Exchange Hotel, which quickly became the commercial centrepiece along Queen Street.
In 1848, Ann and Samuel donated land on the valley’s north slope for an Anglican church and cemetery. Samuel was buried there two years later, aged 46. Ann was left to raise their children: Dorothea 16, William 11, Elizabeth 8 and Plummer 5. She assumed control of Samuel’s business affairs, managing the inn (closing its bar) and running the store.
Later, William Sterne became involved in the development of the family land, registering plans of subdivision in 1870 and 1875 that laid out the existing village lot and street pattern west from Ann Street between King and Foundry streets. In 1871, he sold the family’s inn. It was replaced in 1881 by the Doig Block which continues to hold a significant place in Bolton’s late 19th century commercial streetface. In that period, George Evans also replaced his hotel with the magnificent three-storey Queen’s Hotel, sadly lost to fire in 1969.
Ann Sterne died in Bolton in 1888, aged 83, and is buried with Samuel in the hillside cemetery. The role of the Sterne family in downtown Bolton’s early development is still visible in the street pattern and built form of this immediate area.

Alisa and Marissa have a beautiful sister bond. They love each other very much as well as their love for their trucks and their country life. They grew up in a dairy running and playing around in the orchards. They would stroll around the barns, jump in the hay and end up feeding the cows as the sun would set in the evenings. Every other year they take photos to document their childhood and to remember that their sister bond is unbreakable.

Collage Painting by Sarah Capshaw
Collage Paintings by Sarah Capshaw
I have always admired how some people are so exceptionally able at manipulating words. Sarah Capshaw is one of those people. She manages the English language in a manner that makes everything sound so very clever and poetic. Sarah continues her unique handling of text in her mixed media artwork, combining bits of paper and found objects while playing with color in order to share with us her dreams and experiences in an aesthetic manner.
The Edmond Art Association has the pleasure of hosting a demonstration by Sarah Capshaw on the techniques she employs to create her collage paintings.
When:Monday, March 22 at 7:00p.m.
Where: The Edmond Fine Arts Institute
Cost: ONLY $2 for non-members, FREE for all members of the Edmond Art Association. Contact the EAA if you would like to join. I got hooked with a demo. This would be a great one to come to.

The last week was quite eventful as we saw a bunch of new launches taking place. The adventure touring segment, in particular, witnessed exciting new entrants while the EV space also became more competent with the launch of a new family electric scooter from Ather. If you’re still unaware of these developments, here’s a quick round-up.
Ather Rizta launch
Ather launched its new family-oriented electric scooter, the Rizta in India. It joins the Ather 450-series electric scooters in the company’s portfolio and is available in two variants- S and Z. The Rizta S has a 2.9kWh battery that offers a true range of 105km while the Z trim is available with two battery options, the 2.9kW battery as on the ‘S’ and a bigger, 3.7kWh battery with a true range of 125km. Click on the story link for more details.
2024 KTM 250 Duke new colour
KTM India introduced a new colour option for its 250 Duke street naked motorcycle. Instead of giving the new colour a fancy name, they’ve simply termed it as Black and Blue. The colour is far more subtle than the shouty Ceramic White and Electronic Orange colours that the 250 Duke was available with so far.
2024 Kawasaki Versys 650 launch
Kawasaki brought the 2024 Versys 650 to the Indian shores. The Japanese adventure tourer has received just a cosmetic update in the form of two new paint schemes – Metallic Flat Spark Black and Metallic Matte Dark Gray. The engine, hardware, and features are untouched for the 2024 model. It is powered by the same 649cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that makes 65.7 bhp and 61 Nm. The setup is paired with a six-speed gearbox and benefits from a slipper clutch.
2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 launch date
Bajaj Auto sent an invitation for the official launch of the 2024 Pulsar N250. It’s scheduled to take place on 10 April, 2024 and, interestingly, we’ll be riding the motorcycle on the same day. While the company has kept all the details about its updates under wraps, we recently managed to get our hands on an exclusive scoop about the bike which you can go through by clicking on the above link.
Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 tyres
Customers of the new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 have been crying foul ever since news of the motorcycle being dispatched with Apollo tyres instead of Pirelli tyres surfaced. At the time of launch and during the first ride of the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 a few weeks ago, the bike was seen shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. However, they aren’t available anymore.

My hubby has a nice garage that he enjoys to toil in.
He spends quite a bit of time laboring on old cars. He has a few older models that he is laboring on, although he was only able to toil on them while in the Summer because he did not have heat in the garage for the longest time. It is a removed garage, and when he built it, he did not feel that he would be laboring out there much, so he did not put heat out there. My good friend and I looked into getting a heating system installed out there, but it would have been quite a bit more money than my friend and I wanted to spend on it. My hubby decided that he was going to figure out some other way to heat his garage. He was laid off of toil for a few weeks, and he wanted to get some toil done on a couple of cars, so he bought a propane heater. He thought that it would only be a temporary fix, although he ended up liking the propane heater. He told me that it puts off a ton of heat, and it is rather infancy to use. He said that he absolutely has to turn the heating system off sometimes because it gets too hot in the garage. I was genuinely surprised by that, even though I am super glad that he is able to toil out there, and I am also super glad that my friend and I did not have to pay a lot of money to get the heat back there. I am sure he will be out there quite a bit from now on.

Please note that this web-site is still under construction As a brief overview We are presently looking to install a moderate number of wind turbines in suitable locations around the U.K. At this time the vision relates only to small wind and medium wind turbines which range in sizes from 11kW to 80kW. Due to their size these can be located relatively close to built up areas with minimum impact and can easily plug into the electrical grid. In this way the maximum amount of 'carbon friendly' electricity can be input into the local network with the minimum of electrical losses in long cable runs. Land owners will benefit from the annual rent paid, the environment benefits with reduced carbon costs, and local communities can be confident in their part with using 'cleaner' energy. Please contact us for more information or for a general discussion on [email protected] . Alternately please use the following link to complete a message.

Over the last few weeks several incidents have occurred and caused me to reflect on the pain of learning. I believe this is why so many people do not truly embrace the desire to LEARN to lead. It requires conscious thought and effort each day and with this greater consciousness comes pain. So much easier to just keep doing what you’ve always done or tinker on the edges.
Learning to lead is so much more than participating in a program, completing some self awareness tools……it about wanting to LEARN. It is about truly being prepared to dive deep inside and check out your limiting mental models….and we all have them! Challenge your assumptions and check out your judgements – and that is tough stuff.

Lollipop Monkey (Girl)Now there's a little story behind this card. I coloured up this little monkey a few weeks ago and left her sitting on my desk on top of the matching dp by Doodle Bug Designs so I could come back and whip up a card later. Well, it mysteriously disappeared and I searched all over the place with no success! Until the other day, I was walking by my daughters little play area and something on the wall caught my eye. I looked over and sure enough there was lollipop monkey, stuck to the wall ever so carefully with a big wad of scotch tape. I very slowly removed it being careful not to take off a hunk of paint with it so I could pop it on a card for my long overdue post! I chuckled to myself and decided that I will give this card to my daughter, to reminder her I'll always be here to give her a hug, even if she continues to decorate her playspace with moms expensive crafts! The funny thing is we've always called her our little monkey since she was a baby, always on the go, ready for fun, and full of mischief! You would never know it to look at her though!
Anyway, be sure to check out the brand new challenge today at By LORi Designs , the theme is 'All About Boy'! We hope to see you play along. You can link up your cards HERE!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Thanks. I am very well, having yesterday reached my target weight of 70.0 kgs (154 lbs), a loss of nearly 17 kgs (~37 lbs) (or ~19% of my body weight) from the 86.8 kg (191 lbs) I was ~10 months ago!
>How far back can the lungfish be traced? do you know?
"In contrast with all later genera, the earliest-known lungfish, Diabolichthyes from the Lower Devonian of China, shows a remarkable mosaic of characters considered typical of lungfish and primitive rhipidistians .... The pattern of the skull roof is clearly comparable with that of later lungfish, but the ventral surface of the skull shows that the basicranial articulation was still mobile and that the palatoquadrate was not fused to the braincase. The posterior portion of the braincase has not been described, but comparison with the primitive rhipidistian Youngolepis suggests that the ethmoid and otic-occipital elements were separately ossified. The premaxilla is recognizable as a distinct tooth-bearing bone of the skull margin that separates the anterior narial opening from the mouth cavity. The vomer occupies a position that is comparable to that of primitive rhipidistians, and the parasphenoid is a long, toothed element extending anteriorly between the pterygoids. In contrast with all later lungfish, the dentary retains marginal teeth. On the other hand, the teeth on the premaxilla do not form a marginal row but were exposed primarily within the mouth cavity. The teeth covering the pterygoid and prearticular are densely packed and arranged in a radiating pattern, as in later lungfish, but are not fused to form definite tooth plates. Diabolichthys is clearly allied with later lungfish in the emphasis on the palatal dentition and in the pattern of the dermal skull roof, but it retains many features that reflect an ancestry among the crossopterygians. The postcranial skeleton of Diabolichthys has not been described, but that of the slightly younger genus Uranolophus resembles that of rhipidistians ... Diabolichthys comes from a facies that is transitional between marine and continental. Other early Devonian lungfish are known from freshwater and marine deposits. All lungfish other than Diabolichthys are distinguished by ossification of the braincase as a single unit to which the palatoquadrate is fused, the loss of the pre maxillae, and the great reduction in the anterior extent of the parasphenoid. The advanced pattern of the palate and braincase are already evident in Uranolophus from the Lower Devonian of North America .... Unlike most later lungfish, Uranolophus lacks tooth plates. The pteryogoids are elongate triangular bones that cover most of the palate. Both they and the prearticulars bear tooth ridges on their margins. Well-defined tooth plates are a hallmark of more advanced lungfish. In the middle Devonian genus Dipterus ... there are large paired plates with radiating rows of denticles that occupy much of the surface of the pterygoids and smaller plates that developed from the vomers. Another pair are borne on the prearticulars." (Carroll, R.L., "Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution," W.H. Freeman & Co: New York NY, 1988, p.148)
Although this reference is ~20 years ago, it still seems to be the case that, "The oldest fossil dipnoan [lungfish] is Diabolichthyes, from the Lower Devonian of Yunnan, China":
"Fossilized lungfish burrows of Gnathorhiza have been found in rocks as old as the Permian, with the lungfish still inside, and older (empty) burrows are known from the Carboniferous and Devonian. The oldest fossil dipnoan is Diabolichthyes, from the Lower Devonian of Yunnan, China. It is not clear whether this particular fish was marine or lived in freshwater like modern lungfish, but both marine and freshwater fossils of other groups are known. " ("Introduction to the Dipnoi: the lungfish," University of California Museum of Paleontology, Berkeley, 30 November 2004).
There are more early lungfish fossils belonging to the genus Dipterus (of which Diabolichthyes was not a member):
"Dipterus ... genus of very primitive lungfish, among the earliest known, found as fossils in European and North American Devonian rocks (the Devonian Period lasted from 408 to 360 million years ago). Very similar to the crossopterygians, the lobe-finned fishes that gave rise to the first amphibians, Dipterus retained many archaic features, including two dorsal fins and a tail that resembled a lobe-finned tail. Functional lungs were probably present in Dipterus, and a freshwater habitat is indicated. The skull bones of Dipterus, though still primitive, consist of a mosaic of small bones; Dipterus had already initiated the unusual bone pattern seen in more advanced lungfish. Similarly, Dipterus evidences the beginnings of the lungfish trend toward extreme deossification of skeletal elements. Dipterus was probably the direct ancestor of the modern Australian lungfish, the genus Neoceratodus." ( "Dipterus," Encyclopaedia Britannica Online 2007. Accessed 30 March 2007. Emphasis original. )
which were "of middle Devonian age" (~397.5-385.3 mya):
"Early lungfishes are represented by the genus Dipterus ... Dipterus, a fish of middle Devonian age, possessed many of the generalized sarcopterygian characters that were outlined above for the primitive air-breathing fishes, such as a long, fusiform body terminating in a strong, heterocercal tall, paired fins of the archipterygial type, with a strong central axis down the middle of each fin, and with subsidiary bony rays diverging on either side of this axis, and two dorsal fins. The large, heavy rounded scales were of the cosmoid type. Contrasted with these primitive characters there were various specialized features that indicate even in as early a form as Dipterus the trends that were to take place in the evolution of the dipnoans. For instance, there was considerable reduction of bone in the internal skeleton of this fish, and such a development is found in all of the later lungfishes. The braincase, too, was poorly ossified, although in those Devonian lungfishes in which the braincase has been preserved a certain amount of bone is present. Subsequent to Devonian times the ossification of the braincase was to be completely suppressed. The jaws were partially ossified, yet even here a process of chondrification was beginning that was to become typical of later dipnoans. The skull was composed of numerous bony plates. In general there was a great multiplication of bones covering the head in Dipterus, and because of this it is almost impossible to indicate any homologies between the bones of the skull in this fish and the skull bones in other bony fishes. Likewise, the dentition in Dipterus had become highly specialized. The marginal teeth were suppressed in both the upper and lower jaws, and mastication of the food was effected by large, tooth-bearing plates, those above being formed by the pterygoid bones of the palate and those below by the prearticular bones of the lower jaw. On these plates the teeth were arranged in a fan-shaped fashion, a pattern that was to be carried on through the evolutionary history of the lungfishes. Obviously such teeth were adapted for crushing hard food, and it is probable that the food of the Devonian lungfish, Dipterus, was rather similar to that of the modern Australian lungfish, consisting of small invertebrates and vegetable matter." (Colbert, E.H. & Morales, M., "Evolution of the Vertebrates: A History of the Backboned Animals Through Time," , John Wiley & Sons: New York NY, Fourth Edition, 1990, Second Printing, 1992, p.63)
>i can not find on web.
Agreed that dates for the earliest lungfish fossils are hard to find on the Web. Wikipedia's article Lungfish is a good place to start, with a Taxonomic History that starts with Diabolichthyidae but no separate page on it, nor dates. But it has further external links to: Lungfish information site; Dipnoiformes at Palaeos.com and Dipnoi at the University of California Museum of Paleontology.
>does it predate its evolutionary descendants?
First, your question seem to presuppose that "descendants" must necessarily be "evolutionary," and therefore if all land vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and ultimately humans) descended from "a single species of freshwater lobe finned fish" then it must necessarily have "evolved":
"Prior to the Devonian period (between 410 and 360 million years ago), nothing lived on land, save for a few spiky, low plants, some scorpions and other insects. The earth was congregated into large continents completely different from the ones we know today, and in a constant - albeit slow - state of change. There were massive freshwater lakes, and while the land was a bare, desolate place, these lakes and oceans writhed with life. ... It was during this period, often called the Age of Fishes, that the first bony fishes, the vertebrates, appeared on the scene. ... The vertebrates were divided into two groups: the ray-finned fishes, or Actinopterygii, with the single dorsal fin and paired pectoral and pelvic fins common to most modern fishes; and the lobe-finned fishes - the coelacanth, the lungfish, and the rhipidistian-whose fins appeared to sprout from the end of fleshy, limb-like lobes, almost like toeless legs. These were known as Sarcopterygii (from the Greek sarco meaning fleshy, and pterygii, wing or fin), and were characterised also by their extra dorsal fin. ... Some time towards the end of the Devonian period, a single species of freshwater lobe finned fish evolved legs. In its new guise of Ichthyostega (literally, walking fish) it crawled out of the water to conquer the land this much scientists agreed upon. What was not so certain was which of the group evolved into Ichthyostega: the lungfish, rhipidistian, or coelacanth?" (Weinberg, S., "A Fish Caught in Time: The Search for the Coelacanth," , Fourth Estate: London, Reprint, 2000, pp.28,30)
in "the standard scientific theory" sense that "God had no part in this process" (my emphasis):
"In one of the most existentially penetrating statements ever made by a scientist, Richard Dawkins concluded that `the universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.' Facing such a reality, perhaps we should not be surprised at the results of a 2001 Gallup poll confirming that 45 percent of Americans believe `God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so'; 37 percent prefer a blended belief that `human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process'; and a paltry 12 percent accept the standard scientific theory that `human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process.'" (Shermer, M.B., "The Gradual Illumination of the Mind," Scientific American, February 2002. My emphasis)
If so then you would have bought into Darwin's (and Darwinists') straw man and false dilemma fallacies that I blogged about the other day that "creation" necessarily must be what Darwin in his Origin of Species called "the ordinary view of each species having been independently created."
And therefore if "species ... had descended, like varieties, from other species":
"In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist, reflecting on the mutual affinities of organic beings, on their embryological relations, their geographical distribution, geological succession, and other such facts, might come to the conclusion that species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. Nevertheless, such a conclusion, even if well founded, would be unsatisfactory, until it could be shown how the innumerable species inhabiting this world have been modified, so as to acquire that perfection of structure and coadaptation which justly excites our admiration." (Darwin, C.R., "The Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection," John Murray: London, Sixth Edition, 1872, Reprinted, 1882, p.2)
then (according to Darwin, Darwinists - and you??) they "had not been ... created" at all!
Second, according to Colbert & Morales, evolutionists don't claim that the "evolutionary descendants" of lungfish were anything other than lungfish, i.e. "the lungfishes ... are not and never have been on the direct line of evolution leading from fishes to the first land-living vertebrates" because they ""show too many specializations, even in the earliest known stages of their evolutionary history":
"The ability of the lungfishes to breathe air is certainly suggestive of an intermediate stage between fishes and land-living vertebrates. (In this connection it is interesting to note that the Australian lungfish is able to `walk' along the bottom of the rivers or pools in which it lives by using its paired fins like legs.) Yet in spite of such specializations in the lungfishes directed toward a method of surviving out of the water, the total evidence points quite clearly to the fact that these vertebrates are not and never have been on the direct line of evolution leading from fishes to the first land-living vertebrates. Briefly the lungfishes show too many specializations, even in the earliest known stages of their evolutionary history, for vertebrates that might occupy an intermediate position along the line from fishes to amphibians." (Colbert & Morales, Ibid., pp.62-63).
Third, if your question is "does it, the earliest fossil lungfish, predate" the earliest tetrapods, then the answer appears to be no, because the earliest fossil tetrapod humerus dates from the Late Devonian (~385.3-359.2 mya):
"The Early Evolution of the Tetrapod Humerus," Shubin, N.H., et al., Science, Vol. 304, 2 April 2004, pp.90-93 A tetrapod humerus from the Late Devonian of Pennsylvania has a novel mix of primitive and derived characters. A comparative analysis of this fossil and other relevant humeri from the Devonian shows that the role of the limb in propping the body arose first in fish fins, not tetrapod limbs. The functional diversity of the earliest known limbs includes several different kinds of appendage design. This functional diversity was achieved with a humeral architecture that was remarkably conserved during the Devonian. ...
"Comment on `The Early Evolution of the Tetrapod Humerus'," Ahlberg, P.E., Science, 17 September 2004 ... In their analysis of humeral evolution in early tetrapods (taken here as meaning vertebrates with limbs), Shubin et al. (1) described a suite of derived characters that represents a significant advance on previous analyses (2-4). This makes their negative assessment of GSM 104536, the humerus provisionally attributed to Elginerpeton pancheni (2, 4, 6), all the more surprising. The specimen (see Fig. 1, A to F) derives from the late Frasnian (mid-Late Devonian) locality of Scat Craig in Scotland, and is thus about 10 million years older than the Catskill Formation humerus ANSP 21350 that forms the centerpiece of the Shubin et al. study (1, 7). ...
So the fossil evidence is consistent with the common ancestry of lungfish and tetrapods (and therefore of all land vertebrates: amphibians, reptiles, birds mammals including humans with fish), as the Young-Earth Creationist Kurt Wise admitted, in that they "are fossils that stand intermediate between the group from which they are descendent and the one to which they are ancestral-both in stratigraphic position and in morphology", including "Ichthyostega among the amphibians":
"Another class of fossil evidence comes in individual stratomorphic intermediates. These are fossils that stand intermediate between the group from which they are descendent and the one to which they are ancestral-both in stratigraphic position and in morphology. They have a structure that stands between the structure of their ancestors and that of their descendants. However, they are also found in the fossil record as younger than the oldest fossils of the ancestral group and older than the oldest fossils of the descendent group. ... And examples of stratomorphic intermediates do exist. Mammal-like reptiles stand between reptiles and mammals, both in the position of their fossils and in the structure of their bones. The same can be said of the anthracosaurs, which stand between amphibians and reptiles, and the phenacodontids, which stand between the horses and their claimed ancestors. In like manner, some fossil genera are stratomorphic intermediates in the group in which they are classified. They are the oldest fossils known in the group and most similar to the group from which they are supposedly descendent. Examples include Pikaia, among the chordates, Archaeopteryx among the birds, Baragwanathia among Lycopods, Ichthyostega among the amphibians, Purgatorius among the primates, Pakicetus among the whales and Proconsul among the hominoids." (Wise, K.P., "The Origin of Life's Major Groups," in Moreland, J.P., ed., "The Creation Hypothesis: Scientific Evidence for an Intelligent Designer," InterVarsity Press: Downers Grove IL, 1994, pp.226-227)
But common ancestry is not necessarily evolution, since, as Christian philosopher Del Ratzsch has pointed out, God could intervene supernaturally in chains of ancestral descent, and "leave unchallenged ... that all species derive ultimately from some common ancestor":
"Suppose contemporary evolutionary theory had blind chance built into it so firmly that there was simply no way of reconciling it with any sort of divine guidance. It would still be perfectly possible for theists to reject that theory of evolution and accept instead a theory according to which natural processes and laws drove most of evolution, but God on occasion abridged those laws and inserted some crucial mutation into the course of events. Even were God to intervene directly to suspend natural law and inject essential new genetic material at various points in order to facilitate the emergence of new traits and, eventually, new species, that miraculous and deliberate divine intervention would by itself leave unchallenged such key theses of evolutionary theory as that all species derive ultimately from some common ancestor. Descent with genetic intervention is still descent-it is just descent with nonnatural elements in the process." (Ratzsch, D.L., "The Battle of Beginnings: Why Neither Side is Winning the Creation-Evolution Debate," InterVarsity Press: Downers Grove IL, 1996, pp.187-188).
Which then would not be evolution at all":
"Darwin ... wrote in a letter to Sir Charles Lyell, the leading geologist of his day: `If I were convinced that I required such additions to the theory of natural selection, I would reject it as rubbish...I would give nothing for the theory of Natural selection, if it requires miraculous additions at any one stage of descent.' [Darwin, C.R., Letter to C. Lyell, October 11, 1859, in Darwin, F., ed., "The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin," , Basic Books: New York NY, Vol. II., 1959, reprint, pp.6-7]. This is no petty matter. In Darwin's view, the whole point of the theory of evolution by natural selection was that it provided a non-miraculous account of the existence of complex adaptations. For what it is worth, it is also the whole point of this book. For Darwin, any evolution that had to be helped over the jumps by God was not evolution at all." (Dawkins, R., "The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design," W.W Norton & Co: New York NY, 1986, pp.248-249. Emphasis original)
but rather "divine creation", i.e. "God ... influencing key moments in evolutionary [sic] history" (my emphasis):
"At first sight there is an important distinction to be made between what might be called 'instantaneous creation' and 'guided evolution'. Modern theologians of any sophistication have given up believing in instantaneous creation. ... many theologians ... smuggle God in by the back door: they allow him some sort of supervisory role over the course that evolution has taken, either influencing key moments in evolutionary history (especially, of course, human evolutionary history), or even meddling more comprehensively in the day-to-day events that add up to evolutionary change. ... In short, divine creation, whether instantaneous or in the form of guided evolution, joins the list of other theories we have considered in this chapter." (Dawkins, Ibid., pp.316-317)
Thanks. And the same to you.

Exodus 10:21-29. 21Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt-darkness that can be felt." 22So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. 23No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived. 24Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, "Go, worship the LORD. Even your women and children may go with you; only leave your flocks and herds behind." 25But Moses said, "You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God. 26Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the LORD our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the LORD." 27But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was not willing to let them go. 28Pharaoh said to Moses, "Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die." 29"Just as you say," Moses replied, "I will never appear before you again."

You do not lose the ability to withdraw money from an inherited IRA anytime. You are required to pay taxes on the amount distributed to you, but there will be no penalty tax of 10% for early withdrawal from an IRA. If you choose this option, you will be required to liquidate the whole of the inherited IRA by the end of the tenth year after the death of the person who had the IRA.
Even if no tax penalty is associated with this option, it may not be the best choice for you. When you cash in a substantial IRA, you risk having up to 37% of your money goes to the federal government in the form of taxes. Additionally, one must pay any applicable state income taxes.
Stretch IRAs for Deaths Before 2020
If you are the beneficiary of an inherited IRA, you must withdraw a certain minimum amount from the account each year, based on your estimated life span and by a predetermined set of guidelines. The term "required minimum distributions" refers to these types of distributions.
Utilization of Stretch IRAs
You established an inherited IRA with you as the beneficiary before the passage of the 2019 SECURE Act. This allowed you to remove RMDs from the account gradually. A "stretch IRA" was the common name for an individual retirement account (IRA) that allowed for withdrawals over a person's expected lifespan. The fact that you could withdraw the money earlier if necessary were a significant benefit of selecting this alternative. The RMD guidelines just specified the bare minimum amount that must be withheld. It was never forbidden to withdraw more money than the minimum required.
If you are the beneficiary of a stretch IRA, you are obligated to take your first minimal distribution by December 31 of the year that follows the year in which the original IRA owner passed away. This deadline applies even if your IRA was stretched over more than one year. To calculate the needed minimum payout amount, you will need the following information:
- Your age as of December 31 of the year after the death of the person who originally owned the IRA
- The amount of money left in the account as of December 31 in the previous year
Make use of the information presented before in the following steps:
- Your first step as a beneficiary who is not your spouse should be to determine your life expectancy using the information in Table I of IRS Publication 590. Make sure to use your age as the first item on the list.
- Divide the previous year's ending amount in the account (item 2 in the list above) by the expected number of years remaining in this person's life. That sum is equivalent to the minimum withdrawal amount that must be taken from your account in the first year you are obligated to take a distribution.
- After that, you need to take your life expectancy from the previous year and subtract one; the result is your new divisor for each subsequent year.
The stretch IRA option is accessible if original IRA owner passes away before December 31, 2019. If original owner of IRA passed away on or after January 1, 2020, then IRA is subject to the regulations of the SECURE Act. This implies that non-spousal beneficiaries of an inherited IRA or 401(k) plan are required to take all of the assets from the account by December 31, the 10th year after the IRA owner's death.
When an Individual Retirement Account Is Inherited by a Trust or Other Entity
If you act on behalf of a trust or any other entity that is not a person, you will be subject to a distinct set of restrictions. You have the option to withdraw money from the IRA, and it is quite probable that you will need to do so within the next five years (not 10). If, on the other hand, the trust beneficiaries are persons, then those individuals will be recognized as designated IRA beneficiaries for calculating RMDs.
If you are not careful, you may pay higher taxes than you should. When cashing out, you are subject to income taxes, and if you fail to take RMDs, you might be subject to excise taxes of up to fifty percent. If the IRA is significant, you should discuss your options with a financial counselor before taking action. Remember that you will have a lot of time to make decisions. There is no need to choose quickly and risk creating taxable events.

Food For Thought © copyrighted Letter to FCC and Fox Concerning American Idol Telephone Complaints July 7th, 2003 | by columnist David Lawrence Dewey "Reading provides knowledge... knowledge leads to answers." |
SEARCH HOME Previous Columns |
The following is letter below was mailed, July 3, 2003 via delivery confirmation to each of the FCC Commissioners in Washington and Dell Mayberry, President of Fox Television in Los Angeles. Each packet contained a CD that had all 1,253 complaints that were submitted along with the spreadsheet reports of the tabulations of the results.
You can VIEW the U.S. Post Office Delivery Confirmation receipts that show the letters, complaints on CD, were delivered to the FCC and FOX.
It was explained in the letter that the FCC and FOX can respond individually to each complainant, or they can send their reply to me. Upon such receipt of a reply, I will post the reply here. I will keep you updated on such an event.
I would also like to ask and strongly urge you after reading the letter to do two things.
First, please read my column,FCC Deals Heavy Blow To Democracy to learn how the recent FCC rule changes will dramatically affect your lives in many ways.
Second, go to this PAGE and use the links there to email a letter BEFORE Tuesday, July 8th to the Senate. The Senate Commerce Committe is holding hearings on these recent FCC rule changes on that date. Also email/write/fax the House of Representative Committee that oversee the FCC and lodge your complaint that these rules must be reversed. You must, and I stress the following, you must give your full name, address and telephone number, at the end of the email, otherwise, your complaint will not be recorded.
On the letter below, you can click on the U.S. Post Office Ground Track Numbers, that will take you to a page to view attracking confirmation from the U.S. Post Office site that the package containing the 1,253 complaints, the CD, the spreadsheets, and a copy of my column was delivered on July 9th, 2003 to the FCC Commissioners in Washington and on July 7th, to President Dell Mayberry of the Fox Television Network in Los Angeles.
Despite claims that no complaints were delivered to the FCC or Fox concerning this matter is false. The Ground Tracking numbers speak for themselves.
July 1st, 2003 - Mailed via Delivery Confirmation
Mr. Michael K. Powell - Chairman Dell Mayberry - U.S. Post Office Ground Tracking # 0301 0120 0005 9411 5714 RE: 1,253 complaints from American viewers - all fifty states Dear Mr. Powell:
The night after the final vote for the American Idol show on May 20th, I was emailed by over 800 people asking if I could place a complaint form on my site, tabulate the results, investigate this matter and submit these complaints as one voice to the FCC and Fox Television Network.
The enclosed CD contains the complaints of 1,253 American viewers that submitted the complaints in letter format through my site. The files are in .txt format. The complaints concern the problem of not being able to vote for their contestants on May 20th, 2003, regarding the Fox television show, American Idol.
These complaints were validated and verified coming from actual American viewers by the checking of name, address and telephone numbers against telephone directories and by direct email contact to them after they submitted the complaint to verify they were the person submitting the complaint. Actual phone calls were made to some people to acquire or correct information needed.
Also enclosed find the following spreadsheet reports that contain the following results from these complaints:
Combined number of times complainants dialed to try and vote: * 513,555 times over 3 hours. The reports show percentages of effect according to market shares of the various telephone company providers as well.
A copy of all reports are enclosed with this letter.
The report listing the market share comparisons show the following for land line providers:
USERS OF THESE TELEPHONE COMPANIES THAT HAD THE MOST TROUBLE The percent of users that could not get through to vote is based on actual telephone company markets shares as of March, 2003, acquired from reports filed with the FCC and IDS Telecom. Out of the 1,253 total complaints filed, 1,223 complaints listed land line phone providers. ( 15 ) stated they only had a cell phone. (15 ) did not list a land line phone provider. 1,223 complaints were used to calculate the percentages.
There are approximately 182 million phone subscribers. Market share percentages are then calculated for approximate number of subscribers and users per (1) AT&T customers are then calculated. AT&T is highlighted in red on the enclosed report to represent (1) person. For example: For every (1 ) AT&T customer that was able to call and get through to vote, (17.1) SW Bell/Bell South customers could not get through to vote. For every (1) AT&T customer that got through to vote, ( 9.0 ) SBC/Pacific Bell/Cingular/SNET land line customers could not get through to vote. Totally, what this means is that for every (1) AT&T customer that was able to get through to vote, there were ( 107 ) other land line phone customers of other phone companies that could not get through to vote. The cell phone analysis shows that ( 23.2 ) cell phone users from other companies could not get through to every (1) AT&T user that was getting through to vote. Here is another example. Recently, Bell South stated that 3 million phone calls were properly delivered to the telephone network on the night of May 20th. Spokesperson, John McKinney at Bell South has stated, However, in analyzing the data for Bell South customers from these complaints, the following results were found:
In the nine states that Bell South serves, there were 161 complaints filed from Bell South users that tried to place calls to vote.
These complaints represent 182,473 land line dialed attempts with only 1,130 calls getting through. This is an average of only .61% of the calls getting through to American Idol to be registered for their contestant.
Look at the North Carolina complaints. 50 complaints in North Carolina were from Bell South users representing 32,984 attempted calls with 504 calls/votes actually only getting through. This is a 1.52% percentage of calls getting through. However, Mississippi had 800 attempted land line dialed Bell South calls with 46 calls getting through. This is 5.75% of calls getting through to vote. This is still a low response of getting through to vote, but a wide variance between the two states.
If one is to believe Bell South's claim they "delivered" 3 million calls to the telephone "network", but you see this much of a difference in actual calls getting through, then something else was going on to prevent more call/votes from getting through. What happened to the calls when they got there is what the next question isn't it?
The next question is, were Bell South's 3 million calls actually tabulated for the contestants?
I don't believe they were, or at least a majority of them. Why? 3 million of 24 million votes cast as reported by the producers of this show is 12.5% of the 24 million votes if they had been tabulated. Too high of a percentage from Bell South since AT&T has the largest market share of subscribers versus the high percentage of complainants using Bell South.
The data shows that for every (1) AT&T user that got through to cast their vote for their contestant, (16 ) land line users of SBC/Pacific Bell/Cingular subscribers could not. Verizon customers were (5) users that could not get through to every (1) AT&T customer that got through. Please refer to the report for the other phone companies.
For cell phone users, 704 stated they used their cell phone to try and vote. This is 56.14% of the total complainants. The following percentages are based on 704 complaints of cell phone users.
Percent of users that could not get through to vote is based on actual telephone company
markets shares as of March, 2003, gathered from reports filed with FCC and IDS Telecom.
There are approximately 140 million cell phone subscribers. This has grown from only 16 million in 1993 to 140 million in 2003. Market share percentages are then calculated for approximate number of subscribers and users per (1) AT&T customer. AT&T is highlighted in red on the report to represent (1) person. For example: SAGE customers, for every one AT&T customer that was able to call and get through to vote, ( 5.6 ) SAGE customers could not get through to vote. For SBC/Cingular/Southwest Bell it was 1.6 customers were having problems getting through to vote to every (1) AT&T customer that got through to vote. ( 3.9 ) MCI/T-Mobile cell phone customers could not get through to vote to every (1) AT&T customer that got through to vote, ( 2) Verizon customers could not when (1) AT&T did get through to vote.
The overall average for all cell phone users from various companies represents that for every (1) AT&T customer that got through to vote, there were ( 23.2 ) other cell phone customers of other companies that were not able to get through to vote. This represents an overall average of 2.6 other phone company users that could not get through to (1) AT&T user that was getting through to vote.
In addition, the data from these complaints represents that for every 1,253 viewers that were trying to vote, 665, or 53.07% of every 1,253 viewers, ( + or - 3.0% ), of them could not get their calls through to cast their votes. This represents 259,350 lost votes per 1,253 viewers based on the average caller voting 390 times from the complaint results.
I want to point out that the data from these 1,253 complaints is not a reflection of what the actual voting outcome would have been for all contestants. However, the sample size is large enough to show that there was something more going on that just local telephone problems, network telephone problems or people mis-dialing telephone numbers. It provides the data to show further investigation is warranted.
I base this on the data and the millions of other viewers that could not get through to vote and other information concerning the following:
According to technical specialists I have consulted with concerning the system that was used to tabulate the voting results in real time by iTouch, the firm that handled the voting tabulations, I have learned the following. A tech could turn one of the ports off though a software configuration (either on purpose or through incompetence), erase or edit the logs, and the tampering incident is also gone. The proof is also erased. " There is also what is called, FLUX OF SERVICE. This means that those monitoring and controlling the FLUX of calls can actually literally shut ports off and the lines become busy or in some cases are mis-directed to other phone numbers if the person is not careful in what they are doing.
In addition, I spoke with Senior Vice President, Joe Early at Fox Television in Los Angeles.
I asked Mr. Early if both Ruben and Clay had been provided the same number of incoming trunk lines for incoming voting calls. His reply, "Fox will not divulge that information because we do not explain our voting methods or technology."
The above question is a very important question to the fairness of this contest. If both contestants did not have the same and equal number of incoming trunk lines and these trunk lines were being control by "FLUX" and by technicians of ITouch, then the producers of this show and the Fox Television Network falsely misrepresented to the American viewers on how the winner of American Idol would be chosen. It was announced many times by host Ryan Secrest, "And it is you, the American viewer who will pick our next American Idol".
If every viewer did not have the same equal availability of voting for their contestants no matter how many times they wanted to, this is a mis-representation and eludes to the unethical and illegal practices of the $64,000 Show fraudulent case years ago.
In addition, there is the matter of how all of these companies are linked together or are owned by one another. The details are:
Bertlelsmann in Germany owns the RTL Group which owns BMG Entertainment which owns the records labels, Arista Records, RCA Records, ( the contestants and winners of American Idol record on Arista and RCA Records their sub record labels. Bertlesmann also owns Zomba Records and BMG Music Publishing.
The RTL Group owns Fremantle Media LLC. Who is Fremantle Media LLC? Murdoch's Fox Television Network and Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment are partners with Fremantle Media to
produce the American Idol show for Fox. RTL also owns book publishers Penquin, Putnam Viking. Fremantle contracts with iTouch for the telephone voting monitoring and tabulation of American Idol. Bauer Publishing which publishes INTOUCH magazine is a media client of iTouch, the firm that does the real time controlling, monitoring and tabulating of the votes.
In addition, The Independent in London newspaper in London, owns 49% of ITouch the firm that does the telephone voting monitoring and tabulation of American Idol. Bauer Publishing mentioned above which publishes INTOUCH magazine is a media client of iTouch. It therefore raises the question of all the marketing hype that INTOUCH magazine has given to this controversy of who the real winner was of American Idol. It has created additional sales of pitting Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken fans against one another in the market place in regards to the purchasing of CD's and other marketable merchandise. It appears by the marketing hype that having this controversy of who the real winner was/is exploited like this and by having "two" winners so to speak has only has put more dollars into the hands of these corporations at the unknowing expense of the American viewer.
There are also the questions of these events that were reported in the press:
Cinergy Communications Corporation in Indiana took 169,382 misdialed phone calls intended for Aiken and 72,114 for Studdard during the three-hour voting period on the final night. This was supposedly was explained away because people were mis-dialing numbers. Now how could this many people continuously mis-dial these thousands of times. Does this have to do with the control monitoring of the incoming calls controlled by iTouch ? According to specialists I have consulted with, If trunk lines are turned off from a monitoring controlling portal, and the calls are being properly delivered through the network as stated by Bell South executives, what
happens, these calls can be thrown back into the network and because of the flux of calls can be re-routed to a different number.
Then there is the problem about the man who owns a telemarketing company with 200 phones. He brags that each night he set all 200 phones dialing in on a re-dial basis for Ruben Studdard and that he cast over 250,000 votes. If this is true, this competition by no means was fair for any contestant and the American viewers that could not get through, even if it was one, was deprived of what was being told them. How many other contestants did this happen to as the show progressed? Which contestant lost because of kind of abusive voting which is allowed by Fox. I actually received an email from this person bragging about this.
I am pointing just these two instances because there are many more that support the fact that there was nothing fair and equitable for the contestants or the viewers pertaining to voting.
That is why the FCC must insure that this sort of abuse and betrayal of the American viewing public's trust never happens again. I do not have to remind you, the responsibility of the FCC is to protect the rights of the American viewing public regarding the airwaves and how they are used in situations like this unethically by corporations.
These 1,253 complaints only represent millions of American viewers that are outrage over this.
If you do not believe me, this simply read the millions of posts on hundreds of internet message boards. This has nothing to do with just a few thousand hysterical fans.
The FCC must investigate this matter further, the enclosed data supports the need to and to insure that this sort of thing never happens again to American viewers.
I want to point out one important fact that has been used as an excuse. It was stated the reason for the telephone voting problems was because of clogged telephone centers in the country and local telephone problems.
The reports included list the following:
Totals sorted by state, showing highest number of complaints by state. 1,089 of land line users or 86.8% live outside a large metropolitan area. 555 or 44.2% were NOT able to get through to cast even one vote.
62 or 4.94% of land line phone users said they received a recording saying their votes was counted for wrong contestant.
36 or 5.11% of cell phone users said they received a recording stating their votes were counted for wrong contestant.
268 or 23.86% of land line users said they got a recording stating the phone number they had dialed had been disconnected.
168 or 21.37% of cell phone users said they got a recording stating the phone number they had dialed had been disconnected.
1,235 or 98.48% of land line users said that the voting should be changed to only one vote per person.
693 or 98.44% of cell phone users said that the voting should be changed to only one vote per person.
1,235 or 98.48% of land line users felt that the FCC should investigate this matter.
694 or 98.58% of cell phone users felt that the FCC should investigate this matter.
1,238 or 98.72% of land line users said lines were constantly busy on other dates as well.
696 or 98.96% of cell phone users said lines were constantly busy on other dates as well.
1,172 or 93.46% of land line users said the FCC should look at AT&T phone records for voting abuse 666 or 94.60% of cell phone users said the FCC should look at AT&T phone records for voting abuse.
1,076 of 83.57% of land line users said they would be boycotting Fox.
619 of 87.91% of cell phone users said they would be boycotting Fox.
As I stated earlier, these 1,253 complaints are not a reflection of what the actual voting outcome would have been for all contestants. However, the sample size is large enough to show that there was something more going on that just local telephone problems, network telephone problems or people mis-dialing telephone numbers. It provides the data to show further investigation is warranted and that is what these complainants are asking for and expect from the FCC. And to prevent this type of abuse and betrayal of the trust of American viewing public from ever occurring again.
The FCC and FOX can either respond individually to each of the complainants or you can send your reply to me. Their names and addresses are all listed in the complaint letters on the CD and as well on the spreadsheet. If you send your reply to me, I forward your reply to the complainants and post your reply on my website.
Mr. Powell and each Honorable Commissioner, this matter has nothing to do with WHO should have won the competition. It has to do with fairness and honest representation to the American viewing public. They were made to believe their votes would count and they did not.
If you or any of the commissioners cannot see the importance of this issue and do nothing about this issue, you do not have to explain your actions and decisions to me, but you will have to these 1,253 complainants and to millions other American viewers that are outraged over this. Your inaction in doing nothing will be your reply to American viewers. I hope you make the right decision pertaining to this matter.
My task is completed concerning this matter. I have fulfilled my promise to those that asked me to do this and investigate this matter. I have delivered the complaints and the findings to the FCC. It is now up to you, the FCC Commissioners to decide what is right to do for the people that pay your wages. It is also up to the Fox Network to decide what to do to correct this.
On many of the actual complaint letter submissions that are on the CD, complainants have stated their own comments pertaining to this matter. You may wish to read at least some of them.
A copy of this letter has been placed on my website so that the complainants will know that the complaints have been mailed to Commissioners and the Fox Television Network. The complainants are awaiting responses and actions from each.
On a final note, I would like to file my personal complaint concerning the recent FFC ruling changes to allow corporations to allow large media corporations to buy up more TV stations, newspapers and radio stations.
Our democracy has been with dealt a heavy blow by these recent ruling changes.
Big media corporations will not have to make a commitment to provide better news much less even unbiased news. The same with local news and children's programming. What is so disturbing is the fact that the new rules dramatically worsen opportunities for local news coverage, diversity of different views, and especially competition. Doesn't this remind you of the old robber barons slogan of ages ago, "public be damned?" from the Gilded Age.
These rulings have removed the ban on broadcasting and newspaper cross-ownership. They have raised the national cap on audience reach by station group owners to 45 percent. Corporations will now be able to own two stations in more markets and three in a handful of markets.
The airwaves belong to the American public, not the corporations. Yet, these corporations have
laid claim to them. What is worse, the new rules allow new merger possibilities without any public-interest review. This is deplorable and a huge insult to Americans.
Under the FCC's new rules, one company can now own UFH TV stations in 199 of the 210 TV markets. This basically means that one corporation could own 95% of the television stations in this country. This places too much power in the hands of one corporation headed by a Chairman and a few board of directors. This means that a single corporation owning all of these stations could influence the elections for 98 U.S. Senators, 382 members of the House of Representative, 49 governors, 49 state legislators and the list goes on and on of what they could control.
This cross ownership of all these news media outlets means that local areas, one corporation could own its leading daily newspaper and many times its only newspaper, along with its top market television station in the area, the local cable company and as an extra five to eight radio stations, all in any American city.
Several years ago, the FCC changed the rules to allow one company to own as many radio stations as it wanted. The results prove what I just stated earlier. The local markets were monopolized with basically THREE national companies owning over 50% of the radio stations in America and in which they basically abandoned local news coverage and emergency services notices.
During the 911 attack and recent major catastrophes in the U.S. such as tornado damage, there are no local radio emergency notices from local radio stations. Why? Because it is all automated at some central data bank that pumps the same music and programming to 100 other radio stations because most of these radio stations do not have local live disc jockeys to report on such local disasters. This is not in the best interest of Americans by any means.
For Sale signs are already going up on many of them because the stations owners know one thing, either sell now or lose everything they have worked so hard for in their local areas.
More power in the hands the hands of a few corporations controlling all news media is an attack on our country's free speech. Corporations, because of their business interests in other corporations could use that power to prevent the reporting of important news. That is too great of a risk to take.
Now that three corporations will be able to own 95% of market news media, it means fewer journalists and independent ones will be reporting on many things, including exposing fraud, corruption of politicians and the list goes on and on of what will not be reported. Why, because the executives of these corporations that own these news media corporations are also heavy contributors to politicians. It is the old story, "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", but the scratching is what the American public will no longer receive in honest news reporting.
An example of this control and power in the hands of a few is Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. It is a global media and entertainment empire. The company, which is one of the world's largest media conglomerates, publishes scores of newspapers The Times of London and books HarperCollins. The company's 80%-owned Fox Entertainment Group has significant entertainment holdings, including FOX Broadcasting, a TV network with 200 US affiliates in the US. It also owns Twentieth Century Fox films, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It also owns 35 US TV stations and cable and satellite operations in Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America. More than 75% of News Corp.'s sales are from its US businesses.
In the UK, the newspaper arm for The News Corporation, it owns and publishes four national newspapers The Sun, The Times, News of the World and The Sunday Times. And let's not forget the DIRECT TV satellite programming that Murdoch owns.
And last, News Corporation recent purchase of the majority of stock in Hughes Electronics. General Motors is the other majority stockholder of Hughes. Hughes makes all of the electronic parts for GM cars. How can a newspaper, who is suppose to report the facts and truth on all issues, especially consumer matters, be unbiased should a major defect is discovered in the electronic parts of the very cars they are making the electronic parts for?
Your rulings must be reversed to insure that the power of free speech is not destroyed by allowing the power of the free press to be placed in the hands of few. This is not what this country was based upon for free speech and freedom of the press. And, I know that I am not the only one that has written to the FCC and their Congressman regarding these recent decisions. There have been hundreds of thousands.
I will also be writing the various Senators and House of Representatives Committees that oversee the telecommunications industry and the FCC to voice my strong objections to your recent rulings concerning these matters.
William Safire of the New York Times recently stated, "the concentration of power, either political, corporate, media, cultural - should not be ignored by conservatives." And John
Roberts of the Chicago Tribune also recently stated that he deplores the "blatantly ingenious, if not dishonest, explanations being given by FCC Chairman Michael Powell and his "supporters" for their actions."
Even John Adams, one of our founding fathers of this country said in a speech, "the government must always protect its' citizens to have free speech and that those that print and publish newspapers do not control all of the reporting of our affairs."
Based on these comments from these leading columnists, I strongly advise each of the FCC Commissioners to review your decisions pertaining to these issues, and reverse your decisions and restore public trust that you are protecting the interest of Americans. Otherwise, you will receive a back lash from the American public that will be so strong that you will need to find a place to hide. I believe it has already begun with the hundreds of thousands already writing their elected officials in Washington and more will follow soon.

Jutro w lokalnym wydaniu drukowanym
19-letni Sebastian Marionow wdał się w bójkę z grupą policjantów i zbiegł. Trwają poszukiwania
Kędzierżyn. Trwają poszukiwania mężczyzny, który podczas rutynowej kontroli zaatakował policjantów wykonujących wobec niego czynności sprawdzające. Ze wstępnych ustaleń wynika, że był to 19-letni Sebastian Marionow. Motywy jego działań nie są znane.
Zdarzenie miało miejsce wczorajszego dnia w godzinach wieczornych, przed jednym z nocnych klubów, na oczach wielu świadków. Rzecznik komendy policji nie chciał udzielić żadnych informacji, historię opowiedzieli nam uczestnicy imprezy, którzy akurat znajdowali się przed lokalem.
Mężczyzna miał odmówić okazania dokumentów, a następnie zaatakować funkcjonariusza, który złapał go za rękę - Wywiązała się bójka, po krótkiej chwili policjant osunął się na ziemię - mówi jedna z kobiet będących świadkiem zdarzenia. - Jego partnerka próbowała mu pomóc, ale również okazała się bezsilna.
Agresor wcale nie zdawał się przejmować tą sytuacją. Co więcej, po chwili zauważył w oddali drugi patrol legitymujący innych uczestników imprezy. - Wyrwał śmietnik i zaczął uderzać nim o pobliski słup, aby zwrócić na siebie uwagę. Po chwili zaczęłą się szarpanina i nagle padł strzał. Prawdopodobnie w ferworze walki broń wypadła policjantowi z kabury na chodnik. Zaczęliśmy uciekać - mówi inny ze świadków. Kula najprawdopodobniej nikogo nie trafiła.
- Po wystrzale mężczyzna oddalił się kilkadziesiąt kroków, ale nadal coś do nich krzyczał. - donosi Pani Halina, mieszkanka pobliskiej kamienicy - Czasem tu się szarpią z policjantami przed tym klubem, ale czegoś takiego jeszcze nie widziałam - dodaje wzburzona.
Po zdarzeniu mężczyzna miał robić sobie zdjęcia lub nagrywać film telefonem komórkowym. Oddalił się dopiero gdy usłyszał dźwięk zbliżających się wozów policyjnych.
Komenda Regionowa Kędzierżyn Strona rządowa · 1072 osoby lubią to · 5 godz. ·
Trwają czynności wyjaśniające w sprawie ostatnich wydarzeń związanych z atakiem na funkcjonariuszy. Odpowiedni komunikat zostanie wydany w stosownym czasie.
Do mediów powrócił temat policyjnych szkoleń. Jest to kolejne zdarzenie, w którym funkcjonariusze nie potrafią lub nieumiejętnie radzą sobie z zatrzymywaniem osób niechętnych do współpracy. Kolejną rzeczą, która zdaje się nie zdawać egzaminu są łączone patrole.
- Nawet dobrze przeszkolona drobna policjantka nie poradzi sobie ze 100-kilogramowym agresywnym mężczyzną. Drugą rzeczą jest to, że jej partner zamiast czuć wsparcie znajduje się w ciągłej obawie o koleżankę. Przy całym szacunku dla równouprawnienia, to jest chybiony pomysł, porażka systemu - mówi Jerzy Dziemulski, były dowódca grupy antyterrorystycznej.

Stem cell big cattle team, Nature blocks cancer cells' new "Don't eat me" signal
Ovarian cancer and triple-negative breast cancer are among the most deadly diseases affecting women. There is almost no targeted therapy and the metastatic rate is very high. Often, cancer cells express a "don't eat me" signal to evade the identification and attack of immune cells. In cancer immunotherapy, most cancer cells are attacked by one of the signals being blocked. When more than one "Don't Eat Me" signal is blocked, they will become more vulnerable to destruction.
China's original stem cell treatment program breaks through the world's problems
The original program of the Chinese medical team successfully broke through the worldwide problem of leukemia bone marrow transplant donor deficiency, becoming the first choice for more than half of the world's haploid bone marrow transplant patients.
The weapon of the country - stem cell regeneration
CCTV News: Through special materials and treatments, human cells can be regenerated, repair damaged parts and cure diseases. In the near future, if you are sick, taking medicine may not be the only choice. In this medical frontier, our scientists are also actively exploring new ways to save lives.

President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev: Mr President, colleagues,
I would like to welcome you in Moscow and the Kremlin once again. We have just held a meeting in the restricted format, where we discussed a range of issues. But the most important thing is that we stated our commitment to fully developing ties between Russia and South Africa, bearing in mind the history that links our nations. Russia always occupied a special position in Africa, and has always had great sympathy for Africa’s struggle for independence. Russia truly has no burden of the past and thus is open to finding new ways to take our relations forward while building on the rich history that it has with the African states. In this respect, relations with the Republic of South Africa are vital for us, taking into account the weight that our countries have in the international arena in the area of economic cooperation. Therefore, this will serve as a foundation to every aspect of our contacts.
We have deliberated international issues and will shortly review our bilateral relations and the economic projects that link our two countries to bring closer the objective we have just discussed. This objective is to transform our relations into a strategic partnership across the board. I believe this will benefit both our countries, and the situation in the world as a whole, considering that the world is not confined to individual regional organisations, the world has become multipolar, the world has become global, and a great deal depends on the interaction between such key players as the Russian Federation and South Africa.
We would like to discuss now various trade and economic projects. Some of them we have already reviewed in a restricted format, but I think the leaders of the Intergovernmental Commission will brief us on the work that has been carried out. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Intergovernmental Commission for their productive efforts and state our desire to discuss all the issues that we have reviewed already in an expanded format and in full.
President of South Africa Jacob Zuma: Your Excellency the President of the Russian Federation,
Ministers and esteemed delegations, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for the warm reception and the wonderful hospitality provided to my delegation and I.
This is my first official visit to Russia as President of the South African Republic. My last visit to this beautiful country was in 2006. It feels good to be back, given the rich historical ties between our two countries and peoples.
Let me start by extending our deepest condolences on the tragic death of many of your people in the heatwave that has engulfed this country. We share the pain of the Russian people in the face of this tragedy.
Mr President, the Russian Federation and South Africa share deep ties, forged in the struggle for freedom.
Some of our key liberation heroes as J.B. Marks, Moses Kotane and Ivon Jones lie buried here in Moscow. Their graves are evidence of the historical ties between our two countries and peoples.
I am accompanied by eleven Ministers and more than 100 businesspeople on this visit. The size of the delegation underlines the importance that we attach to our bilateral relations.
This visit confirms South Africa’s commitment to consolidate and enhance bilateral relations with Russia within the context of the Treaty of Friendship and Partnership that was signed in 2006. This Treaty affirmed the South Africa-Russia strategic partnership.
Based on these instruments, we want to see regular improved political dialogue between our two countries.
We want to see enhanced economic and social cooperation. And we want to work for deeper cooperation on the international front, especially on multilateral issues.
We are satisfied with the progress made thus far, especially given the recent successful Ministerial political consultations.
The Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation meeting and the South Africa-Russia Business Forum discussions have also progressed well.
These interactions are critical for South Africa’s key domestic priorities, as well as Russia’s economic modernization and diversification policy priorities.
We are firm in our commitment to further boost trade relations between our two countries.
Our business delegation represents diverse sectors to allow a wider scope for interface.
These include agro-processing, aviation, banking and finance, defence and aerospace, energy, engineering, information and communications technology, construction, logistics, medical and health services and tourism.
We see great potential for taking economic relations forward. It is encouraging that despite the global economic crisis, overall trade between the two countries increased from more than four hundred million US dollars in 2008 to more than 500 million US dollars last year.
It is our wish that this visit should contribute to further enhancement of these trade relations.
We also value our cooperation on science and technology. The launching of the South African satellite at the Russian space facility in Kazakhstan in September 2009, took our cooperation on space research and technologies to a higher level. We must build on that success.
Education is a key priority for the South African government. Success in education will determine the scope and extent of the country’s growth and development.
We want to explore some of the existing proposals and develop sound cooperation in higher education and training between our two countries.
Mr President, during this visit, we look forward to signing agreements that will further develop cooperation in other fields and we are very pleased with this development.
We will take agricultural cooperation forward through the signing of the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Plant Quarantine.
The movement of people between the two countries will be further promoted through the Agreement regarding the Waiver of Visa Requirements for Holders of Diplomatic or Official Passports.
We are also happy that we have finalized the Memorandum of Understanding between our respective space agencies for cooperation in the Field of Earth Observation.
These agreements will certainly improve our framework for cooperation and we have to ensure effective implementation.
At a multilateral level, our two countries support the promotion of equal distribution of power and influence in the global political and economic systems.
We share the belief in rules-based multilateralism, the pivotal role of the United Nations in global security matters; sustainable development; free and fair trade, and an equitable international economic order.
As you would be aware, South Africa will, in October 2010 seek re-election to the non-permanent UN Security Council seat for 2011 to 2012. Given our shared view about the need to transform the UN system, we look forward to working with you in this regard.
We would like this visit to deepen Russian partnership on the African Agenda.
Allow me to applaud Russia’s role in peace and security in the African continent. This is not surprising given Russia’s historical and progressive relationship with many countries within our continent.
Peace and stability in Africa and world are paramount, and all nations have to work together to achieve these goals. Any instability in any part of the world is bound to have an impact in other corners of the globe.
It cannot be ignored and viewed as a distant event which has no bearing on the rest.
We also wish to remind the Russian Federation of the trade, investment and technical cooperation opportunities in Africa.
There are many projects linked to the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, which is our socio-economic development blueprint for the continent.
Africa, with its one billion-people strong market, has to be viewed by the developed North as an economic partner and an investment destination of note.
Africa is open for business. We should not be viewed as a continent with countries that are recipients of aid only.
As South Africa, we are strategically located on the southern tip, as a gateway to the rest of the continent.
South Africa has just successfully hosted the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. It was a most exciting period in our country, as we hosted thousands of soccer fans and tourists from all over the world.
The success of the Soccer World Cup, the first on African soil, has helped us to prove that the African continent is capable of hosting events of this magnitude. It signalled a new beginning and a new era of opportunities for the African continent.
We wish Russia well in the bid to host the 2018 Soccer World Cup tournament.
We are ready to share our experiences with the Russian Federation and to offer technical assistance, if required, should Russia win the bid.
Let me use this opportunity to wish you well for the winter Olympics in Sochi. We are convinced that the Olympics will be a huge success, given the expertise that exists in the Russian Federation and the preparations made thus far.
Thank you for the invitation. We are happy that we will be able to take our warm and historical relations forward.
We look forward to very successful deliberations during this visit.
I thank you.

A rapid growth in unsecured personal loans at Indian lenders may soon become a headache amid deepening concerns over the rising risk of defaults among households, according to UBS Group AG.
The brokerage sees credit costs for Indian lenders climb toward “historical averages” as more unsecured retail loans turn sour, with state-run banks more vulnerable to this trend, compared to their private sector counterparts.
“We see increasing default risks in retail unsecured loans, which is likely to push up their credit losses by 50-200bps,” analysts Vishal Goyal, Anish Rai and Yash Agarwal wrote in a note. Earlier this month, the country’s banking regulator, the Reserve Bank of India, exhorted lenders to assess their risk strategies on their personal loan exposures.
UBS warned that “the risk of regulatory tightening is high” after RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das told reporters last week that the central bank wants banks to be mindful and “smell where the crisis is likely to come up.” Usually, such suggestions from the regulator are followed by tighter macro-prudential norms for lenders.
Reflecting some of the angst, the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.’s bank gauge declined as much as 0.9% led by Axis Bank Ltd. and State Bank of India. UBS downgraded SBI to sell, while Axis Bank was cut to neutral rating.
“While valuation seems inexpensive, we see limited scope of a re-rating, considering our expectations of decelerating earnings growth,” UBS said.
Unsecured retail loans such as credit cards and personal loans have grown at an annual rate of 23% over the past five years in India, according to UBS, outstripping the increase in overall credit in the system as many resorted to borrowings to meet personal expenses amid plummeting household savings and the Covid pandemic.
The share of borrowers with more than five personal loans rose to 7.7% in March this year from 1% in 2018, UBS said, adding that incremental disbursements to borrowers with “weaker credit profile” exposes the segment in a downturn. As much as 52% of the personal loans portfolio at state-owned banks was to “medium to high risk” borrowers, while the share for private sector banks was pegged at 31% as of June, it said.

On August 24, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: WWE) was like a beefy man in tights standing atop the ropes in preparation for a takedown. The specialty media group had just announced record ticket sales for the upcoming 'WrestleMania 40' at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Its stock price also set a new record, a high of $118.04.
Since then, however, WWE has been pinned down below $100. The selloff mainly relates to heavyweight sovereign wealth fund SRJ Sports Investments' minority stake in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) — a competitor of WWE's newly acquired UFC League.
Wall Street research firms have expressed caution about the influence of the Saudi Arabia-controlled SRJ Sports because it could lead to higher talent retention costs for WWE. It could also lead to WWE's mixed martial arts fighters getting lured over to the PFL. This is a sensitive (and potentially subscription-canceling) issue for WWE fans who have grown fond of certain fighters and have already witnessed several roster changes in recent months. Bank of America and Wolfe Research have called the Saudi investment an "overhang" on WWE.
But it's not a total kick in the face. Analysts have also acknowledged that PFL's tie-up with SRJ Sports could expand the global mixed martial arts by introducing the disciplines to more consumers in Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Middle East. Guggenheim recently stated that the Saudi threat is not "a game changer" because of the size of the investment and the size of the PFL relative to UFC's dominant position in the mixed martial arts market.
One thing analysts can agree on — WWE's upcoming combination with UFC parent Endeavor is a win. This is the stronger force and ultimate driver of WWE's long-term success. It is also why analysts are unanimously bullish on the battered stock.
Will WWE Start Trading Under a New Stock Symbol?
On Thursday, WWE announced that its merger with Endeavor is expected to close on September 12, 2023. When it does, the combined company will become TKO Group Holdings and trade as 'TKO' on the New York Stock Exchange. While the official announcement and clever ticker alone may generate buying interest in the stock, there's a bigger reason to tune in.
Endeavor and its core UFC brand will bring 700 million fans and 228 million social media followers into the WWE ring. With the two sports rather distinct, not all UFC fans will fall in love with the WWE brand — but there will undoubtedly be tremendous cross-sell opportunities. UFC's 40-plus annual live events are sure to attract WWE subscribers (and vice versa) and open the door for WWE to offer bundle packages.
Last week, WWE announced 26 new events for November and December of this year, tickets for which go on sale September 15. Considering most concert and other live event tickets get released many months in advance, this speaks to the immediate popularity of RAW, SmackDown and other signature WWE entertainment.
How Are WWE's Fundamentals?
The company's recent financial results show rising demand for WWE tickets and subscriptions. Through the first six months of the year, sales are up 7% to $708 million. Earnings per share (EPS) growth is forecast to be minimal in 2023 but accelerate in 2024 as Endeavor is integrated and cost synergies kick in. This will leave the newly formed TKO with two powerful live entertainment brands under its oversized belt.
Wall Street projects that EPS will surge 24% from 2023 to 2024 to $3.15. This shows that the cost concerns around PFL competition aren't yet significantly impacting analyst valuation models. WWE shares are trading at 31x next year's earnings estimate, well below their five-year historical average of 52x. At 65x, WWE's closest mid-cap entertainment peer, Madison Square Garden Sports, is more than twice as expensive.
The relatively low P/E ratio and growth opportunities associated with the Endeavor merger are the main reasons the Street sees gains ahead for WWE shareholders. The $128 consensus price target points to a 30% upside over the next 12 months.
WWE does pay a dividend, but the forward yield is only 0.5%. Yet, with only 15% of profits going towards dividends and accelerating profit growth anticipated, the dividend could grow over time. A rock-solid pre-merger balance sheet that contains $318 million in cash and just $20 million of long-term debt will certainly help in this regard.
Bottom line: WWE is stabilizing in the high-$90's and likely has limited downside from here. If the Saudi Arabia news blows over, look for the stock to get up off the mat and start making moves toward a new all-time high.

Aerospace and defense company Mercury Systems (NASDAQ:MRCY) will be reporting results tomorrow after market hours. Here’s what investors should know.
Mercury Systems beat analysts’ revenue expectations by 7.8% last quarter, reporting revenues of $248.6 million, down 1.8% year on year. It was an incredible quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts’ organic revenue and earnings estimates.
Is Mercury Systems a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it’s free.
This quarter, analysts are expecting Mercury Systems’s revenue to be flat year on year at $181.8 million, improving from the 20.5% decrease it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted loss is expected to come in at -$0.08 per share.
The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Mercury Systems has missed Wall Street’s revenue estimates five times over the last two years.
Looking at Mercury Systems’s peers in the defense contractors segment, some have already reported their Q3 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Leidos delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 6.9%, beating analysts’ expectations by 3%, and Leonardo DRS reported revenues up 15.5%, topping estimates by 4.7%. Leidos traded up 9.4% following the results while Leonardo DRS was also up 5.8%.
Investors in the defense contractors segment have had steady hands going into earnings, with share prices flat over the last month. Mercury Systems is down 9.7% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $31.38 (compared to the current share price of $33.18).

This show we cover a mix of things, starting with the stats on long-lived people in Japan. It turns out that many centenarians and super centenarians might not be alive! We share our thoughts about the aging process and maximizing one’s potential. Some Japanese relatives seem to be working the governmental welfare system. Speaking of “the system,” we cover some of the USDA’s newest guidelines for school lunches. Contrary to dietary dogma, dairy without fat is less healthy than dairy with fat. Consumption of dairy products may or may not be advisable; it varies across individuals (e.g., those lactose intolerant). Keep in mind that milk contains more carbs as well. Lastly, we cover a report about two rat/mouse studies showing that high-fat chow led to hypothalamic inflammation. Yet another example of research that unfortunately bolsters fat-phobia in our culture. See the purportedly non-inflammatory rat chow link below if you’re curious about its ingredients.

Ingen kan påstå att vi inte var förvarnade, så det kom inte som en stor överraskning när vi fann att bilen, som vi parkerat prydligt nedanför lägenheten, inte längre var där. Överraskningen skulle komma senare.
Vi var i Catania i två veckor i sommar. Sicilianska Catania, med en historia som sträcker sig nästan 3000 år bakåt och som vår guidebok menar att man säkert kan tillbringa både en eller till och med två dagar i och få något i utbyte — framför allt mängder av fisk, då Catania har Siciliens bästa fiskmarknad. Så mellanskillnaden mellan guidebokens mest entusiastiska förslag på vistelsetid i Catania och vår egen planerade semester var cirka 12 dagar. Vilket också var anledningen till att vi hyrt bil i två veckor, för att ta oss från staden, till bättre bad, pittoreska byar och vyer.
Mitt i denna tvåveckorsperiod gick vi som vanligt ner från lägenheten vi bodde i, ner till parkeringen och fann en helt annan bil på den plats där vi kvällen innan parkerat vår Fiat 500L. Det tog bara några sekunder att dra slutsatsen att bilen var borta för gott och bara någon sekund mer för att guidebokens ominösa ”Of all Sicilian cities, Catania has the worst reputation for petty crime” skulle dyka upp i mitt minne.
Så dagens planerade loja bad, kalla öl och lästa bok förbyttes till telefonsamtal, polisanmälan, biluthyrarkrångel och väntan, väntan, väntan i en allt hetare stad.
Vi tog oss till närmaste polisstation, som utifrån mer liknande ett tillhåll för näringsidkare av olagliga substanser. Men vi ringde på, blev insläppta och hamnade sedan i ett väntrum som hade två dörrar att välja mellan, men ingen vi fick välja. På båda dörrarna satt skyltar som förbjöd oss att gå in och förbjöd oss att knacka på, men som uppmuntrade oss till att vänta. Vi gjorde så. I 45 minuter. Först då anlände en polis utifrån och tittade på oss som om han aldrig förr sett människor i väntrummet, och han frågade artigt om vi ville något eller om vi bara var på genomresa.
Därefter blev vi visade in till ett rum som tydligen tillhörde en polis som hette Carmelo Grasso, vilket direktöversatt till svenska blir något i stil med Kalle Fetto. En annan, yngre och förvirrad polis som hette Walter, gjorde sitt bästa för att ta emot vår polisanmälan. Han frågade oss knepiga frågor (som: vilken färg hade er bil), och knackade på sin dator, tittade i mitt pass och frågade mer knepiga frågor (som: ”Is Pol-is-mynd-ig-het-en your place of birth?”) och knackade mer. Efter femton minuter skrev han ut ett papper på skrivaren intill och jag tackade högre makter för att polisanmälan åtminstone gick snabbt. Men högre makter hånskrattade åt oss, för det polisen skrivit ut var en instruktion … till sig själv … för hur man tar emot en anmälan om bilstöld.
Så där blev vi sittande, jag och Maria, vid Kalle Fettos bord, medan den unge poliskonstapeln Walter minutiöst tog emot vår anmälan. Efter en timma skrev han ut fem exemplar av polisanmälan: ett till oss, ett till arkivet och antagligen ett för god ton och två för att han kunde. Jag fick skriva på alla fem och därefter såg Walter oerhört lättad ut, som om detta var det svåraste fall han brottats med i sin karriär. Han bad om ursäkt å Italiens vägnar och vi skakade hand och gick iväg för att nu tas oss till Hertz på flygplatsen, där vi hyrt vår nu stulna bil.
Och här är en märklighet man kan fundera på under mörka höstkvällar. Bussen till flygplatsen gick från tågstationen, genom stan, stannade på alla upptänkliga hållplatser, och eftersom bussen saknade fjädring så passade chauffören på att sikta på vartenda hål i gatan han fann. Temperatur ute? 35 grader. Luftkonditionering inne? Nix! Efter tjugo minuter stannade vi åter vid tågstationen … som tydligen var en hållplats på vägen från tågstationen till flygplatsen?! Vi hade på 20 minuter förflyttat oss i en vid cirkel och tagit oss bokstavligen 40 meter från vår startpunkt. Först därefter skumpade vi vidare mot vårt mål. Centrum – flygplatsen medels bil=15 minuter. Medels buss=1 timma.
Personalen på Hertz var uppenbarligen vana vid vår typ av ärende. Fler kunder än vi hade fått sina bilar stulna i Catania och det var nu uppenbart varför Hertz bilflotta bestod av idel nya fordon. De hann aldrig bli gamla. När all pappersexercis var avklarad hade vi bara ett ärende kvar: Vi behövde en bil för resten av vår resa. Och det var nu överraskningen kom.
”And now we need a car for the rest of our trip,” sa vi.
“No. Impossible,” svarade Hertz-mannen. “You can’t have one!”
”Company policy. When you have a car stolen you can’t rent another car!”
Logiken är att Catania är så stöld-drabbat att man får räkna med att bilen stjäls om den används här. Hertz resonemang är således att den som hyr en bil av ett företag som är så suspekt att de hyr ut bilar i Catania gör sig skyldig till ett riskbeteende. Tja … Vad kan man säga … Hertz tycks i alla fall ha en viss självinsikt.

When homeschooling your children, it can be difficult to ensure that they receive a well-rounded education. Music may get left behind, particularly if you have no musical ability or interest yourself; yet it forms a vital part of a child’s development, instilling valuable sensory and motor skills, as well as creativity. It can be especially difficult to get teenagers interested in music if they haven’t already shown an interest, so it can really help to think outside the box at times!
Turning your teen towards music
Music is a great way for teenagers to express themselves, particularly during confusing, daunting, or emotional times. It allows them to tell you how they are feeling, or to release anxiety or anger, and can help them to move forward in their development and education. A newfound love of music may even help your teen to concentrate better during their studies.
It is important not to force your musical tastes on your teenager. Encourage them to develop their own tastes and passions that will reflect their personalities. However, there is no reason why you can’t use your own musical favorites as a basis for discussion, inspiring them to decide what they do and don’t like.
Learning a new instrument
Encouraging your teenager to learn a musical instrument is a great way to impart wisdom and inspire a love of music. Rather than simply listening to music, tempting your teenager to pick up a musical instrument will motivate them to read music, discover more about the instrument, and investigate the sounds it can make; they will become fully immersed in the music around them, rather than letting it merely pass them by. Learning to play will also make music inherently more interesting, and it is a fantastic gift to give to a child of any age. Learning an instrument will teach your teen responsibility, accountability and discipline as well as increasing self-esteem and encouraging social interaction. It is never too late for you, or your teenager, to begin this journey.
There are a number of ways that your teenager can learn a new instrument, from attending lessons with a private tutor to utilizing the world wide web; there are various resources available on the internet that are useful if you wish to break away from the norm and try different instruments such as the ocarina, a small but popular instrument.
Being able to record the progress that you make together is another fantastic way of keeping your teenager interested in music. Children of all ages love to look back on what they’ve been doing, and using recording equipment together can be great fun – a little like working together in your own music studio. Who knows, your teen may decide they fancy the rock or pop star lifestyle and surprise you with their enthusiasm and determination. Indeed, they may be more likely to keep up their new hobby if they see a truly reachable goal ahead.
Music is something that can be discovered at any age, and it is a great way to build bonds between parents and children. Discovering new music together, for example, is a journey that you and your teenagers can take together; they will thank you for the time and interest you have taken and shown, and you may even find that you learn a little about each other along the way.

What once was spineless has now acquired a spine. That old pamphlet Obsequies For Lars Talc, Struck By Lightning is newly available in an almost but not quite facsimile paperback edition. Only twenty-five copies of the original were printed – now every single one of you lot can buy as many copies as you like. Which I hope and pray you will. What with Christmas approaching, what better gift to give to those dearest to you, including that crumpled Jesuit hiding in the broom-cupboard?
Go to Lulu to place your order(s) right this minute. It’s the sensible thing to do.
