Panama Straw Hats are a great staple for the summer, but what about the glaring sun? Look no further than these big brim panama hats. While you still look classy, the large brim will protect you from those brutal rays and provide a decent amount of shade.

After "Historic" Korean Summit To Unify, India And Pakistan Should Try The Same: Pak Media
HomeAll IndiaAfter "Historic" Korean Summit To Unify, India And Pakistan Should Try The Same: Pak Media
India and Pakistan, which were one country for thousands of years, have had a turbulent 71 years since India was divided into two nations during independence from the British in 1947.

After the historic Korean summit, a report in Islamabad talks of something similar for India and Pakistan
"Historic" Korean summit seeks lasting peace, official end to Korean war
North, South Korea seek to unify, denuclearise the Korean peninsula
Pak media report says if the Koreas can, why can't India and Pakistan
New Delhi: Taking a leaf out of Friday's "historic" Korean summit in which leaders of North and South Korea agreed to pursue a permanent peace treaty, a media report in Islamabad suggested that India and Pakistan should try to resolve their differences in a similar manner.
The report, published by Pakistan's Dawn news suggested that India and Pakistan should try to end hostilities and make the "quest" for normalisation and peace the "noblest of goals" in the region.
India and Pakistan, which were one country for thousands of years, have had a turbulent 71 years since India was divided into two nations during independence from the British in 1947. In the last seven decades, the two countries have had repeated conflicts and skirmishes, including 3 wars - in 1965, 1971 and 1999.
THE HISTORIC KOREAN SUMMIT
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the South Korea's President Moon Jae-in embraced after signing what they called the Panmunjom Declaration, following a day that began with an emotional handshake over the Military Demarcation Line that splits their countries.
In an completely unscripted moment when he arrived, Kim grabbed Moon's hand and led him over the border to the North before they returned hand-in-hand, in an image that will provide the lasting memory of the summit.
They agreed they would seek a permanent end to the Korean War this year, 65 years after hostilities ended in an armistice rather than a peace treaty.
In its report, Pakistan's Dawn news said, "Inevitably, a comparison between the renewed engagement between the two Koreas and the freeze in ties in the South Asian subcontinent will be made. The tensions and disputes between Pakistan and India are fundamentally different to the issues between the Koreas."
"Pakistan and India have forged very different and irreversible histories, whereas the Koreas seek reunification. Yet, a shared history and the common dreams and aspirations of a people with enduring cultural and other similarities across India and Pakistan make the quest for normalisation and peace in this region the noblest of goals," the Pakistani news report stated, according to news agency PTI.
The editorial continued to say that the striking imagery of the Korean summit recalls the unprecedented hope and expectations created by the historic trip to Lahore of the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1999.
But immediately after then Prime Minister Vajpayee's visit, the Pakistani Army entered Kargil, leading to a war between the two countries.
"It is time for the leadership of India and Pakistan to once again tread the path of peace and friendship," the editorial said.
IN RECENT YEARS
Ties between the two countries had strained after the terror attacks by Pakistan-based groups in 2016. In 2008 too, Pakistan based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba carried out a massive terror attack in Mumbai.
Every time an initiative is taken towards peace, the process is derailed by either the Pakistani military or by acts of terrorism, which derail the peace process. In recent years, India has made it clear that a sincere effort can only be made once Pakistan decides to crack down on terrorism and terror outfits in their country.
After 41 years of being East and West Germany, the two countries reunited in 1990. The Korean peninsula too was divided into North and South Korea in 1945. They now have started a peace process, hoping to unify. Can, and should India and Pakistan hope for something similar?

How to Achieve Maximum Success with Automobiles

Tips on How to Love a Used Car Like it Was a New One
If you are a car owner who truly loves your ride and treat it like a loved one, normally buying used might not be your first option. This might be a way of getting a car that might be out your budget. It is, however, possible to get the connection that you wish to have by going an extra mile into welcoming it into your home and making it yours and yours alone.
Caring for the Car is Important
The first and most crucial step is making it feel like new. Giving a vintage car a new breath of life is not as hard as you think. You can for example, fit a cold air intake to the engine to give its output a bit of kick. It is most likely that the brakes and suspension systems have also worn out. By replacing these systems, you can improve the way the car and handles and offers you with a ride that is smooth as that of a new vehicle.
Personalize the Car
It is possible to make it drive like new but it is not entirely about how it feels. Making it truly yours means making it feel not only new but personal. To that end, a few creative coatings and car wraps and detailing service can make the vehicle look like you just bought it. Changing your car's image and making statement with it can make it feel much closer to you. With a new bold graphic design, a pin stripping style, and a professional finish can change the image of your car. This is a lot cheaper than going for a new car every time you want a different look.
Get to Know it a lot Better
Feeling a connection with a car takes a lot more effort. If anyone wants to truly care for their car and know its every problem, then opening it and taking a closer look will be of great help. If your vehicle didn't come with a user manual, you could get it online, and most of these can be possible for DIY maintenance.
Make it do More
There are other tasks that your vehicle can perform apart from driving. You can easily customize the experience of your car by switching its electronics. With the right electronic accessories, you can add a lot more functionality to your vehicle. You can improve the comfort of a ride by installing an air purifier. By adding the nigh-holographic glass head-ups display you can give it the futuristic appeal. Customize it further by adding a glowing device that sends you an alarm when near a school zone or near a speed trap.

The Apocalypse is Nigh
Nota Bene #3: Cruising with Kate Gosselin
This is real, dear readers. Kate Gosselin, former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and more recent star of the "Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong" section of your favorite tabloid, is partnering with Royal Caribbean to give vacationers the cruise experience of a lifetime! The cheapest cabin on this cruise is $3,000 and the priciest is $5,500. That doesn't include the roundtrip airfare to the port of embarkation, 7 days worth of booze, and mandatory tips for the various staff who will be shoving complimentary ice cream sundaes in your face 24-hours a day. And you'll need someone to watch your cat while you're gone. That's gonna cost you too. Especially when your cat finds out why you've abandoned her for 7 days and 7 nights (hint: pee in shoes).
It's not that I doubt that there are people out there who would like to meet Kate Gosselin, or at least see her in person. If Kate Gosselin was coming to the Greenville Olive Garden, I would most definitely drive across town to see her. I'm a gawker by nature. I might even wait in a line to see her. Especially if there was the promise of endless breadsticks and salad afterwards.
What I doubt is that there are enough people to fill a cruise ship who have 1. the desire to meet Kate Gosselin and 2. several thousand dollars of disposable income. But clearly some vacant-eyed minion in Kate Gosselin's employ must have gotten on the blower, done some canvassing, and found out that YES! there are in fact at least 3,000 people willing spend a lot of money to "learn a new craft" with Kate Gosselin somewhere in the Caribbean. Kate makes amazing crafts.
Who might these people be? I imagine these are people who have worked very hard to create a nice nest egg for themselves, one that they've been squirreling away for a big splurge. They are willing to spend this money on a worthwhile venture — something the whole family can enjoy. I imagine a mother of three young children, a woman who still believes that Kate Gosselin is her former self, a domestic super hero who manages to "do it all." She does not see Kate Gosselin's current self: a strung out fame addict making due with celebrity cruise ship gigs (which, if you didn't already know, are the methadone of fame fixes, followed only by state fair appearances). I believe this target consumer is a generous, good-hearted woman. She thinks that Kate Gosselin got an unfair shake when her marriage to fell apart in front of the reality TV cameras and what was poor Kate to do but scramble for more TV gigs in order to make ends meet while her lazy, good-for-nothing ex-husband shopped for Ed Hardy T-shirts and had sex with young women who should know better? Lancaster county private schools don't pay for themselves. And neither do unlimited sessions at The Sunshine Factory.
Yes, the ideal passenger on the Kate Gosselin cruise is a woman who doesn't like to gossip, but enjoys reading gossip rags. When the cover of US Weekly proclaims "Angie is Pregnant!" she believes them and wishes the best for Angie. She owns several products featuring the "As Seen on TV" sticker. They have to work. Why would Ron Popeil lie?
This woman sees the Kate Gosselin cruise as a chance to play "fun family games with Kate and staff," no doubt envisioning being tethered to Kate in the 3-legged race or possibly depositing an egg, ever-so-gingerly, onto Kate's awaiting spoon. I imagine this mother has twins, just like Kate, or possibly triplets or quadruplets (but definitely not sextuplets because then this woman would also have her own show), and that's why she identifies with Kate in the first place. She understands why Kate was so frazzled — why she barked at her children and needled her husband. She's done that too. Having multiples is tough.
This woman might be a stay at home mom (but only temporarily, just until the twins are old enough for school) and the days are long. Some days she wonders why she keeps wiping crumbs off of the counter top after breakfast, knowing that they'll reappear again, like magic, after lunch. She wonders why she bothers changing her clothes before loading the triplets into the minivan and heading to the grocery store. After all, she'll be wearing her winter coat — no one will see the dribbles of coffee on her chest or the dried rice cereal clinging to the cuffs of her sleeves. But there's always the chance. She brushes her hair, too, and puts on a little lipstick even when she knows she'll be at home all day, just her and the quadruplets. Grooming's important. Because you just never know who might show up at the door while you're sitting there, not wearing any lipstick. She and Kate understand this.
She's sympathetic to Kate and her Botox and her hair extensions and her tummy tucks. She wouldn't mind getting a tummy tuck herself. Who wouldn't? She plans to tell Kate all of this at that "private BBQ on deck with Kate and a fabulous band." She's thinking that "private" sounds nice. Maybe she and Kate will share their birth stories. Hers is a real doozy — 40 hours, no epidural. Not even a valium. She practiced her visualization and guided imagery ahead of time, thinking of her uterus as a flower slowly opening, just as her Bradley method teacher instructed. Not many women can do that. Maybe they'll stand together at the railing, this target consumer and Kate, looking out at the ocean, quoting Titanic ("I'm king of the world!"). "Yes," she thinks, "this could be the family's summer vacation. Pricey, yes. But we can swing it." And won't it be nice to get a "A commemorative personalized gift from Kate" (one per family)? The gift will be personal because Kate understands her, just as she understands Kate.
I understand this woman, too, because part of her is me. And I think this woman deserves better. She deserves to use that $5,000 nest egg on something real and tangible — not a staged photograph with a curt former reality TV star. But she enters her credit card information. She understands the ticket is non-refundable. She's going to meet Kate Gosselin. It's worth it.

Compulsory Masculinity on the JERSEY SHORE
Posted on February 26, 2011 Updated on February 26, 2011
The "T" portion of the GTL
When criticizing an artifact of popular culture people often toss out hyperboles like "It's everything that's wrong with this world." Well, you know what? Jersey Shore really is everything that's wrong with this world. Nothing is more useless than an underemployed twentysomething reality television star with an inflated sense of ego and the relentless desire to press his or her naughty parts against the naughty parts of drunken reality TV groupies (the worst kind of drunken groupies). And Jersey Shore employs seven of these individuals (the eighth cast member, Sammi, mercifully exited the show a few weeks ago). It's not just that I know I could spend my limited television viewing time more productively (8 Firefly episodes await me on my Netflix instant queue); I know that a lot of the behaviors I'm watching are highly problematic and that they're being played for laughs.
I don't approve of grenade whistles (c'mon, that's just too mean folks):
But how can I stay mad at a show that gave me this?
Also, I can' stop watching Jersey Shore because I can't stop writing about it (click here for my thoughts on why the Jersey Shore men are like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). This week I'm writing about Jersey Shore for Antenna. You can read it here. And please do feel free to comment and join the discussion at Antenna. That kind of thing warms my heart. Thanks!

Magnesium is the second most abundant mineral inside our cells and the second most common deficiency, next to Vitamin D. Magnesium deficiency is one of the leading nutrient deficiencies in adults, with an estimated 80 percent being deficient in this vital mineral.
Magnesium is crucial for general wellbeing and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including calcium absorption and normalised muscle function, improving bone and skin health, aiding muscle recovery and promoting relaxation and restful sleep. Every organ needs it – particularly kidneys, muscles and the heart.
Like many adults I know I have a magnesium deficiency – so it's a good idea to consider taking magnesium supplements regularly.
– Dr Norman Shealy, Professor Emeritus, Greenwich University.
BetterYou™ is a pioneering natural health company, based in the UK specialising in the supplementation of the growing number of key nutrients lost through our dramatically changing diet and lifestyle. They are experts in transdermal magnesium and oral Vitamin sprays.
They strive to use only the finest food sources and 100% natural ingredients believing that these are better absorbed and more importantly, better utilised by our bodies than more commonly isolated or synthetic ingredients.
The BetterYou™ transdermal magnesium range is an award winning and pioneering way to replenish magnesium levels.
Transdermal magnesium products are applied directly to the skin. They are perfectly designed for topical application and are available in a number of different forms.
Trials have proven that transdermal (through the skin) magnesium therapy can increase magnesium levels up to 5 times faster than traditional tablets or capsules.
The sensitive delivery method and purity of BetterYou™ Magnesium Flakes means that they can be used by everyone. This method of magnesium supplementation is suitable during pregnancy and nursing, for children and for those following diabetic, coeliac, vegan and vegetarian diets.
Regular baths in Zechstein Inside® magnesium flakes has a very favourable effect on many skin disorders, and psoriasis in particular.
I love magnesium flakes and I've been using them regularly. As I've gotten older I find I now suffer from aches and pains especially in my legs. Using magnesium flakes has made a huge difference for me.
If I'm really busy I like to have a foot soak, otherwise I enjoy having a bath. This 250g pack is enough for one bath and the flakes dissolve quickly in the water.
It is very effective and has a calming effect on my entire body, it helps to relax my muscles and get rid of excess tension. It is deeply relaxing and helps me get a good night's sleep. The added bonus is my skin is left super soft.
Magnesium flakes are available in 4 sizes (150g, 250g, 1kg and 5kg).
BetterYouTM MagnesiumOil Original Spray is our strongest and purest MagnesiumOil and provides the ultimate way to replenish magnesium levels. Scientifically proven to raise magnesium levels faster than traditional tablets and capsules.
BetterYou MagnesiumOil 15ml sprays provide the same great formulation and application as the 100ml bottles but in a handy travel-size bottle.
Applied directly onto the skin BetterYouTM MagnesiumOil Original spray is absorbed in to the highly porous epidermis and through to the blood vessels and muscles beneath, completely bypassing the digestive system where many nutrients are not absorbed.
My hubby, kids and I use the 100ml Original Magnesium oil. They also have (Goodnight, Recovery, Sensitive and Joint sprays).
This 15ml size is handy for travel and to use on the go.
I like to spray on damp skin straight after a bath or shower. When I first starting using the spray I felt a tingling sensation on my skin. As they indicated this is quite natural and may indicate low magnesium levels and is the result of the high speed absorption of magnesium through the pores. It did pass with regular use as my magnesium levels improved.
I like to use it just before bedtime and it does helps me relax and sleep well. I also love the Goodnight spray which combines essential magnesium with Chamomile, Bergamot and Clary Sage.
A deeply rich, intensively moisturising body butter containing a perfect balance of skin kind ingredients. The formulation contains a nourishing blend of BetterYou™ MagnesiumOil with shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and vitamin E to create a unique skin experience.
Scientifically proven to improve skin health – A powerful and essential mineral, magnesium is key in helping repair and replenish skin cells as well as improving general elasticity and leaving the skin glowing.
BetterYouTM Magnesium Body Butter is absorbed in to the highly porous epidermis and through to the blood vessels and muscles beneath.
This body butter is a new one for me. The consistency is fairly thick and creamy which is great for my dry skin. I find it absorbs quicker when I apply on damp skin as it helps lock in moisture and leaves my skin soft and moisturised.
It tingles slightly, though not as much as when I use the magnesium spray. The scent is lovely so overall I'm pleased with this product.
Have you ever tried any BetterYou Magnesium products? Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Preservation of the records
ANYONE who undertakes research either at the Public Record Office or at any other record office, or even the local library, will be immediately aware of the fragility of the historical material. Obviously this does not apply only to military documents: as the years go by all documents originally made of paper are gradually disintegrating, and very little can be done to prevent this. Many organisations are trying to preserve the content of original documents by recording the text on microfilm; for example the Public Record Office has been undertaking a programme of microfilming the "popular" series. For medal collectors this includes many of the documents that we want to access: the World War I soldiers records in the series WO 364 and 363, the first tranche of the WO 97 Chelsea pension series (discharges up to 1854), the army medal rolls in WO 100, naval officers' service records in ADM 196, naval medal rolls in ADM 171, RFC and RAF officers records in AIR 76 recommendations for World War II army gallantry awards in WO 373 and many others. Additionally the much used indexes to other series have also been filmed: these include sailors' service records in ADM 29, ADM 139 and ADM188, World War I officers' records in WO 338 and, of course, the Medal Index cards for World War I soldiers. This is all very well as long as the documents are filmed to optimum standards so that the information recorded is legible. This is, unfortunately, not always the case. Some of the reproduction at the PRO is appalling: for example, whole sections of the WO 100 series for the Crimean War are illegible, because the original paper was blue, and no allowance was made for this when the pages were filmed. Also these medal rolls were bound in books with some of the data, like the regimental number, in the margins, and this has been lost in the filming as the books were not unbound. One asks oneself What is the point of storing defective records like this. However, large numbers of documents are still in paper form: World War I war diaries in WO 95, muster rolls in WO 12 and 16, the bulk of the IVO 97 records, London Gazettes, Royal Marines' and Royal Naval records in ADM 159 and 188, RAF other ranks' service records in AIR 79, and hundreds of other "historical" classes like ADM I and AIR I and 2. All these documents need to be treated carefully if they are to survive for longer than a few more years, yet I am constantly horrified to see some readers handling these records as though they were yesterday's newspapers. Those of us who use the documents professionally, and therefore rely on them, understand and appreciate the need to conserve the material, but I am afraid to say that not everyone takes the same view. Some years ago unscrupulous people were in the habit of stealing documents, but effectively destroying records by careless handling is equally deplorable, and we should all be aware of the consequences.

Raptors nab first Christmas Day game since 2001, will face Celtics
Ryan Wolstat
All it took for the Toronto Raptors to get a second Christmas Day game in 25 years was winning the NBA title.
Yes, for the first time since the heyday of Vince Carter and friends in 2001 when the Raptors visited the rival New York Knicks, the team will be on the league's much-hyped Christmas slate, hosting the Boston Celtics, per numerous reports.
The other games will include the Los Angeles Clippers vs. the Lakers, the New Orleans Pelicans at Denver Nuggets, the Milwaukee Bucks at Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets at Golden State's new arena in San Francisco.
Sources say the Raptors were eager to be involved, despite the defection of Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and the club has talked openly about being snubbed the previous half-decade, despite consistently being one of the league's most successful teams.
Other reports had Leonard returning to Toronto (barring a load management game) on Dec. 11, Anthony Davis, now with the Lakers, facing the Pelicans in New Orleans on Oct. 27, Kyrie Irving returning to Boston with Brooklyn on Nov. 27 and, in the likely lone positive affair, former franchise icon Russell Westbrook being welcomed back in Oklahoma City as a Houston player on Jan. 9.
Raptors big man Serge Ibaka was asked by the Toronto Sun what he'd say to Leonard, a close friend, at the reunion game. "It's gonna be fun. It is always, always good to compete against your ex-teammate," Ibaka said.
The Raptors released their full pre-season schedule on Friday. The lone home game goes Oct. 13 against Chicago; The team will be in Japan to face the Rockets on Oct. 8 and 10 and, in a bit of an oddity, at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. to take on the Nets on Oct. 18.

Benidorm Palace's History
David Climent and the magic of the Benidorm Palace Family Affair
6 July, 2020 News
David Climent, son of Benidorm Palace owners Vicente and Cristina Climent, is a magician who works with laser and modern, fast-paced magic. For around seven years, he's been the resident illusionist there, and is also…
The Costa Blanca is fortunate to have an entertainment venue of the calibre of Benidorm Palace. Those who have attended shows there compare it favourably to the lavish shows on offer in Las Vegas, and the home-produced shows by the Climent family who own it sell out all the time. BP, as it is affectionately known, also stages some fabulous one-nighters too, starring headline acts from all corners of Europe and beyond.
It's a truly magical place, and although the venue attracts world class performers, its real magic – literally and figuratively – lies closer to home.
For someone so late coming into magic, David is a real shooting star of the business. He was awarded the prestigious Merlin Award in 2015. He was only the second person in Spain to receive it, and there are still just three recipients in Spain. David is also inducted into the Magic Circle, and is the only member in Spain to have been invited into this exclusive group, which only admits the best magicians in the world under recommendation from others in the business.
What makes David's skills even more amazing is that he can perform 9 illusions in 7 minutes. (Or is that 7 in 9 minutes? Either way, it's impressive). His role model is Dutch magic man Hans Klok, who also performs fast paced magic, with the help of the obligatory beautiful female assistants. Hans is known as 'The World Fastest Magician,' but David isn't too far behind.
Hans has been performing since he was given a magic set at the age of 10, so maybe it won't be too long before David becomes his favourite magician! And David has added another layer to his show with the use of lasers, so he's taking the magic to the next level.
Doing so many illusions in such a short space of time must have its recipes for disaster, so I asked David if things ever went spectacularly wrong. It seems the man who can produce a helicopter complete with pilot, or even a motor bike, on the Benidorm Palace stage was beaten – literally as well as metaphorically – by a big wooden pole. Let David relate the story:
I was performing an illusion on stage, and I managed to give my head a whack with a big wooden pole. It wasn't part of the script, and I was dripping with blood, but I did manage to keep the show going. I got a great ovation that night, but hopefully it's not something that will get a repeat showing.
David's talents don't end there though. He's also the Ringmaster in the family-owned Benidorm Circus, and part of the resident acrobat team. The circus is animal free, and takes place in an air-conditioned big top behind the iconic Palace building. I've watched a circus sketch on YouTube, and I must say David's comic timing is spot on as well.
Is there anything this young man can't do? Apparently not, because about a year ago, he was invited to join the Illusionists of Broadway. The copyright for the show format of this prestigious team of magicians, mind readers, escapoligists and illusionists is owned by Cirque de Soleil, and there's a rotating cast of between five and eight members who tour the world to sell-out concerts. David was flown to London for a photo shoot, and went with the show to Saudi Arabia in October 2019.
Saudi Arabia is a closed country, with very little foreign input, but in 2019, the innovative three month Riyadh Season opened from October 2019 to January 2020, and the Illusionists were booked for six weeks. London's famous Winter Wonderland was flown out to Riyadh to host the various events.
Young David from Benidorm Palace shared a stage with the world's best magicians in the first live magic show in Saudi Arabia. That's quite an achievement for someone who hasn't been in the magic business for a decade yet. David was due to travel to Singapore for his second show with the Illusionists, but this was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Of course, he's disappointed, especially since the audience loved the shows. David is used to performing before fairly large audiences – Benidorm Palace seats 2,000 – but this experience was something else, and he can't wait to get back to doing what he loves and taking his talent around the world.
Closer to home, David is cautiously optimistic about the future after lock-down in Spain. Benidorm Palace's many loyal clients have been very understanding of the situation, and around 75% of those who had booked seats for shows are prepared to wait and use the money as credit towards future shows. Just a small number are demanding refunds, so cash flow isn't as bad as it could have been.
Re-opening depends first of all on the government, and then on the return of the tourists, because venues like this can't survive on local footfall alone. There is a new show planned, but it may be that the family has to open up with a re-run of last year's successful 'Aqua' show.
Whatever happens, the show will go on as soon as it can at Benidorm Palace. It's what the Climent family do best, and it's been their passion ever since they took over the venue on 1 August 1990. Nine year old David – who remembers that date with love and pride – could never have imagined that, 30 years later, the world would be at his feet. Benidorm Palace is famous the world over as a high calibre show venue on a par with Las Vegas, and now the Prince of the Palace is set to rule the world of magic in his own right.
We wish David and his family all the best for the future, and look forward to more magical nights at Benidorm Palace when Spain is safe again. Until then, stay safe and well at home.

There has been significant activity at the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) over the safety profile of Vioxx, specifically concerning serious cardiovascular injury. Interestingly, this class of drugs which is being discussed and debated by many counsel is one of the hottest selling groups of drugs that the pharmaceutical industry has seen in recent years. Equally interesting is the fact that the drugs at issue are the progeny of the drug that spawned the birth of the modem pharmaceutical industry over 100 years ago-aspirin.
Coxibs are members of a broader class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; other members of this class of drugs include ibuprofen, naproxen, Naprosyn, and, as stated previously, aspirin. Throughout the developmentand use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) it has been widely recognized that this class of drugs is extremely effective at reducing pain through the inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme, causing the inhibition of the production of prostaglandin and prostacylin, thus inhibiting inflammation in joints, and thereby eliminating pain. However, what has also been widely recognized about NSAID therapy is that in addition to mediating joint pain due to inflammation, it has also been responsible for significant gastrointestinal side effects, including perforations, ulcerations, and bleeds.
November 23, 1998--Merck, the manufacturer and marketer of Vioxx, submits its New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA on this date.
April 20, 1999-- The Advisory Committee on Arthritis Drugs (FDA) meets to review the medical profile of Vioxx.
May 21, 1999--FDA approves Vioxx (Rofecoxib), a new drug for the treatment of osteoarthritis, menstrual pain, and for the management of acute pain in adults.
June 22, 1999--Merck enters into a speaker's contract with Peter Holt, M.D., who subsequently conducts several live and audio conferences to educate [sic] health care professionals on the claimed benefits of Vioxx.
October 8, 1999-- less than five months into the market history of Vioxx, Merck updates the package insert.
June 8, 13, and 16, 2000--promotional audio conferences are held by Peter Holt, M.D., the substance of which was, at a minimum, directed by Merck for use by Dr. Holt. Portions of these presentations are the subject of a subsequent warning letter to Merck for violations of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act.
June of 2000--there was information presented before the European United League Against Rheumatism, an organization in which Merck is a member and a corporate sponsor that demonstrated a statistically significant increase in hypertension and myocardial infarction.
aspects of the drug, required Merck to carry the same GI warnings as general NSAIDS; that is, Merck was compelled to include on its label precautions that 2-4 percent of individuals taking Vioxx would suffer GI complications. It has been, and continues to be a major selling point for Merck, both from a theoretical, scientific standpoint as well as a strong marketing standpoint, that as a Cox-2 inhibitor Vioxx does not cause the same problems in the GI tract as do other general NSAIDs. Consequently, the VIGOR study was undertaken.
There two important aspects of the February 8, 2001 Advisory Committee meeting.
The first is that it underscores the fact that Merck, in undertaking VIGOR, was focused on the GI aspects of Vioxx and not cardiac issues.
Secondly, is the memo of Shari L. Targum, M.D., the Project Manager for the Division of Anti-inflammatory Drug Products concerning cardiac issues. In Dr. Targum's memorandum it is clearly stated that as early as November 18, 1999, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board of the VIGOR study, a committee independent from the sponsor, was concerned over the deaths from cardiovascular events experienced in the Vioxx group, compared to the group taking Naproxen. This memo establishes a date of recognition within the FDA of when serious cardiovascular events were brought to the attention of Merck, and a starting point for determining what actions were undertaken once a red flag is raised.
May 22, 2001-- in the wake of studies that clearly demonstrate concerns over the cardiovascular safety profile of Vioxx, in particular the increased incidents of cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, among other cardiovascular injuries, Merck made two significant press releases. The first coming on May 22, 2001, titled Merck, Sharp & Dohme Reconfirms Favorable Cardiovascular Safety of Vioxx, Emphasizes Powerful Pain Relief and a second, which was released on June 16, 2001 in Europe, which claims Vioxx Similar to Placebo and Three (3) Widely Prescribed NSAIDs Regarding Cardiovascular Events.
July 11, 2001--the Vioxx package insert is updated for the second time.
August 2001: Cleveland Clinic study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association associates Vioxx with cardiovascular risks.
September 17, 2001--Merck receives its strongest FDA warning letter to date relative to its drugs.
April 11, 2002-FDA instructed Merck to include certain label precautions for cardiovascular risks.
October 2003: Merck-funded study finds patients taking Vioxx are at a 39% increased risk of heart attack within the first 90 days, compared with Celebrex.
August 2004: HMO Kaiser Permanente reconsiders Vioxx for its member patients after an FDA study finds that patients who had taken more than 5 mg a day were 3.15 times as likely to have a heart problem.
September 2004: FDA approves Vioxx to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Sept. 30, 2004: Merck announces a voluntary world-wide withdrawal of Vioxx.
Vioxx was neither safer nor more effective. In the face of increasing scrutiny, Merck finally removed their drug from the market, but not before clearing 3 billion dollars in profit.
Vioxx® (Rofecoxib) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) prescription drug that was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps and acute pain in adults. Vioxx® belongs to a class of drugs known as Cox-2 inhibitors and is a brand name used by Merck & Co., Inc. Cox-2 inhibitors were initially thought to be safer than other NSAID drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, because they were believed to be less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.
Merck began distributing Vioxx® throughout the United States in 1999, despite information in its clinical trials and post-marketing reports that associated Vioxx® with hypertension-related adverse health effects. Merck marketed Vioxx® as safe and effective for people suffering from hypertension and people at risk for stroke or other cardiac problems. In May 2002, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a Talk Paper about new label warnings for Vioxx® (Rofecoxib). FDA Talk Papers are prepared to guide FDA personnel in responding with consistency and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest. According to the FDA, recent studies demonstrate that Vioxx® is associated with a higher rate of serious cardiovascular thromboembolic adverse events, including heart attacks, angina pectoris, and peripheral vascular events. Other side effects associated with Vioxx® include seizures, strokes, or liver and kidney problems. The new label warnings were based on the results of the Vioxx Gastrointestinal Outcomes Research (VIGOR).
In scientific terms, Cox-2 inhibitors inhibit the enzyme involved in the inflammation of body tissue. Traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin and ibuprofen, inhibit both the Cox-1 and Cox-2 enzymes. This creates another problem because they stop the "good" Cox-1 enzyme that helps protect the lining of the stomach. Cox-2 inhibitors, in theory, do not impair the good Cox-1 enzyme, but only inhibit the Cox-2 enzyme that is responsible for inflammation. Cox-2 inhibitors therefore should cause fewer gastrointestinal problems. However, Cox-2 inhibitors, like traditional NSAIDs, can cause gastric ulceration.
Cox-2 inhibitors increase the risk of heart attack. The Cox-1 enzyme may play a role in preventing clot formation that leads to heart problems. Thus, aspirin and other NSAIDs that inhibit the Cox-1 enzyme probably protect people from developing heart attacks, whereas Cox-2 inhibitors may actually increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disorders.
What Are The Risks Associated With Using Vioxx?
Recent studies suggest that Vioxx increases the risk of heart attack substantially more than do traditional NSAIDs. For example, there is an increase in the development of heart attacks in people treated with Vioxx, when compared with those treated with naproxen, a traditional NSAID. The risk of heart attack is especially a concern for those users who may have had cardiac problems in the past.
People commonly use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain. Examples of NSAIDs include aspirin, etodolac (Lodine), ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). NSAIDs can irritate the lining of the stomach and cause ulcers and bleeding. Drugs called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors are a particular "selective" type of NSAID that may not injure the stomach lining as much as other NSAIDs. Examples of COX-2 inhibitors are celecoxib (Celebrex), meloxicam (Mobicox), rofecoxib (Vioxx), and valdecoxib (Bextra). Some COX-2 inhibitors may increase the risk for heart disease. For example, rofecoxib was withdrawn from the market in September 2004 because a large trial found that it increased the risk for heart attacks and strokes. We do not know whether other COX-2 inhibitors and nonselective NSAIDs have similar or different risks.
First it was Vioxx — pulled from the market in September 2004 with no advance notice. Then came warnings about Celebrex, Aleve and Bextra. Eric Matteson, M.D., a rheumatologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., discusses the safety implications of these commonly prescribed arthritis pain relievers, known as COX-2 inhibitors, as well as the safety of traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Jan. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Merck & Co. said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has started a formal probe into its handling of Vioxx, the painkiller pulled from the market Sept. 30 because of its link to heart attacks and strokes.
The SEC's decision wasn't unexpected, the Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based company said in a statement today. A formal probe gives the SEC staff the power to issue subpoenas for documents or testimony.
Merck wouldn't comment on the SEC matter beyond the press release, company spokesman Tony Plohoros said. SEC spokesman John Heine declined to comment on the investigation. Merck shares fell as much as 9.2 percent.
Vioxx may have caused as many as 140,000 heart attacks in the U.S. between its 1999 introduction and the recall, Food and Drug Administration safety reviewer David Graham said in a study published this week by the U.K. medical journal Lancet. As of Dec. 31, Merck said 55 lawsuits had been filed by 1,400 plaintiffs' groups alleging injuries linked to Vioxx, including heart attacks and kidney damage.
The Department of Justice and certain Congressional committees also are conducting probes.
A panel of seven judges met here to consider where the federal cases against Merck & Co. over its now defunct arthritis drug Vioxx should be consolidated.
Merck asked that all federal cases be placed under one jurisdiction because it streamlines the process of trials.
The company said it has counted at least 1,400 plaintiff groups and at least 55 lawsuits alleging the drug for arthritis and acute pain caused medical problems such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage and gastrointestinal bleeding. Research by The Associated Press, however, identified at least 700 lawsuits.
Few health issues have been more confusing than the barrage of news reports over the past three months linking popular pain relievers with heart attacks.
What is the evidence against these popular pain drugs?
The first real evidence against Vioxx came in March 2000 from a study of 8,000 rheumatoid arthritis patients. It showed that Vioxx users had five times the risk of heart attack as naproxen users, with 0.5 percent of the Vioxx group suffering heart attacks compared with 0.1 percent of the naproxen group. Last September, a three-year study of patients with a genetic polyp disease showed that the patients who took Merck's Vioxx for more than 18 months were twice as likely to have heart attacks or strokes. Then, in December, the National Cancer Institute stopped another polyp study using Pfizer's Celebrex after finding that Celebrex users had twice the risk of heart attack. Days later, the National Institutes of Health stopped a study of 2,400 Alzheimer's patients, citing higher risks from naproxen. Questions have also emerged about Pfizer's Bextra.
It also contains Topol's response, in which he publishes a new analysis of four-year-old data that he says shows a "significant" increase in heart attack and stroke in patients taking Vioxx after as little as six weeks. The data was previously available only in briefing documents prepared by staff at the Food and Drug Administration.
The fight is more than just academic. The dueling letters are one of the few times that Merck's scientists have publicly defended their approach to the drug since the company pulled it off the market. And Topol's analysis seems to show that even if Merck wasn't aware of the possible risks to the heart posed by Vioxx, perhaps it should have been.
Face Of The Year: David Graham NEW YORK - On Nov. 18, an unassuming safety researcher from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sat down before a Senate committee and tore his bosses to shreds.
The FDA, he said, had ignored warnings that the pain pill Vioxx was killing people by causing heart attacks and strokes--and he said the agency was incapable of defending the public against another drug disaster. "I could have given a very mealy-mouthed statement," says David Graham, the scientist. "But then I would have been part of the problem."
The study that has thrown Graham into the limelight involved analyzing a database of 1.4 million Kaiser Permanente members. Graham and his collaborators compared the rate of heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths in patients who took Vioxx or Celebrex, its main competitor, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen.
"We did this study because I recognized Vioxx was a potential disaster," Graham says. It had all the ingredients: a blockbuster drug used by millions that carried a significantly increased risk of heart attacks, the leading killer in industrialized countries. "I don't think that (FDA management) appreciated what we might find."
Graham and his collaborators found that Vioxx users had a higher rate of heart attacks and sudden cardiac deaths than Celebrex users.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co Inc. had evidence by 2000 that its painkiller Vioxx, which was pulled off the market on Sept. 30, was not safe, a heart specialist told CBS News program ``60 Minutes'' on Sunday.
Dr. Eric Topol, chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, examined all available data about Vioxx and other similar pain relief medications in 2001 for a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Topol said the company conducted its biggest clinical trial of the drug, widely known as the ``Vigor'' study, in 1999, which found that Vioxx users had nearly a fivefold increase in heart attacks.
MayoClinic.com - Are COX-2 drugs safe for you?
The arthritis drug rofecoxib (Vioxx) was withdrawn from the market after a study demonstrated that it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Vioxx, a COX-2 inhibitor, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage pain and inflammation. The drug is sold in some countries under the name Ceoxx.
Concerns about the safety of the other COX-2 inhibitors, Celebrex and Bextra, soon followed. And now an old standby — the nonprescription naproxen (Aleve, others) — is up for scrutiny. Millions of people around the world have relied on these medications for pain relief. So if you're confused about what to do next, you're not alone. Eric Matteson, M.D., a rheumatologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., discusses common concerns about Vioxx and related drugs.
Why was Vioxx pulled off the market?
The immediate withdrawal of the drug was based on data from a three-year trial designed to evaluate the possible effectiveness of Vioxx in preventing the recurrence of colon polyps. In comparing people taking Vioxx versus those taking a placebo, the study reported an increased relative risk of cardiovascular problems, such as heart attack and stroke, after 18 months of Vioxx. According to the Food and Drug Administration, although your risk of having a heart attack or stroke related to Vioxx is very small compared to people not taking Vioxx, the degree of risk depends on how much Vioxx they have taken, and for how long.
What is the risk associated with Vioxx?
Your risk overall is low. Studies show your risk of heart attack and stroke can be as low as a couple of percentage points higher to as much as three times higher than the risk faced by those who haven't taken Vioxx. The risk appears to be greater for those who take very high doses of Vioxx — 5 milligrams (mg). Most people take 12.5-mg or 5-mg doses.
asking if Merck (nyse: MRK - news - people ) knew about the dangers of Vioxx, the arthritis drug that was pulled from the market because it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke. On Thursday, congressional hearings will begin in an attempt to answer much the same question. But there's another question worth asking: Did Merck do enough to study Vioxx's effect on the heart?
60 Minutes' Ed Bradley explores potential warnings ignored by drug maker Merck of its recently pulled arthiritis drug, Vioxx.
(CBS) When the pharmaceutical giant Merck pulled its blockbuster pain medication Vioxx off the market in late September, it became the largest prescription drug recall in history.
The company says it took immediate action after a new study showed that Vioxx doubled the risk of heart attacks and strokes in some patients.
However, according to internal Merck documents 60 Minutes has seen, and interviews with outside scientists, Merck had concerns that Vioxx could possibly cause cardiovascular risks long before it was pulled off the market.
But the new Vioxx study was not the first to raise concerns about heart attack and stroke risk. "We have been concerned and aware of the potential for cardiovascular effects for the last few years," Steven Galson, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said the day Merck announced the withdrawal. "This is not a total surprise."
In fact, in April 2000 the FDA required Merck to add labeling information about a possible link to such problems. Yet 2 million Americans were taking Vioxx when it was pulled.
Critics describe the rise and fall of Vioxx as a cautionary tale of masterful public relations, aggressive marketing and ineffective regulation. "The FDA didn't do anything," says Eric Topol, chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. "They were passive here."
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, says the FDA was worse than passive. Investigators for the Senate Finance Committee, which Grassley chairs, met Thursday with FDA researcher David Graham, lead scientist on a study presented in August at a medical meeting in France.
As a physician who has been cautioning patients about the ills of both medications, I did not feel the urge to dance like the stars of so many commercials for arthritis remedies. Both Celebrex® and Vioxx® are known as COX-2 inhibitors, a sub-class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDS. Older NSAIDS include ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, and many others, including the prototype aspirin.
-In 1998, fatalities due to NSAIDS among arthritis sufferers rivaled deaths from AIDS.
-CHF from NSAIDS may have exceeded GI toxicity, which already accounted for 107,000 admissions per year.
-NSAIDS were called a silent epidemic by a prestigious medical journal, and then, incomplete and misleading data published in another leading journal turned newer, but still unimproved, substitutes into a multi-billion-dollar industry.
-NSAIDS inhibit enzymes in the body called cyclooxygenase, of which there are two sub-types: COX-1 and Cox-2. The older NSAIDS block both, while the newer ones target only COX-2. Why is this important?
-The deaths among arthritis sufferers due to NSAIDS approached all deaths in this country from AIDS that year—and far exceeded deaths from breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, or several other feared killers combined. Worse, the numbers did not include over-the-counter preparations or uses such as headache, backache, dental pain, menstrual or postoperative pain, or many others.
-While retired athletes pitched Advil® on television, and physicians wrote thousands upon thousands of new NSAID prescriptions, where were the lapel ribbons, fundraisers, or public awareness campaigns concerning this killer?
-Physicians have been aware of at least one dangerous NSAID complication: GI bleeding. But this was felt to be due to inhibition of the COX-1 enzyme. Hence, the search for selective COX-2 blockers. And in 1999—the year after the New England Journal editorial—Vioxx® and Celebrex® hit the streets running. Hailed as safer, both were said to lower the incidence of stomach ulcer and bleeding. Physician offices and professional journals were bombarded with this news. Billions of dollars of prescriptions were written. But the whole story had not been told.
Merck and federal officials should have withdrawn the painkiller Vioxx from the market as early as 2000 because studies of the drug had clearly shown that it doubled the risk of heart attacks among users, according to a study released yesterday by The Lancet, a British medical journal.
Authors of the study pooled data from 5,273 patients who participated in 18 clinical trials conducted before 2001. They found that patients given Vioxx had 2.3 times the risk of heart attacks as those given placebos or other pain medications. Merck withdrew Vioxx on Sept. 30 of this year after a company-sponsored trial found a doubling of the risks for heart attack or stroke among those who took the medicine for 18 months or more.
Wall Street analysts are concerned about Merck's potential legal liability. This week, Standard & Poor's Corp. warned that it might downgrade its ratings on Merck's debt because of the huge payouts the company might be forced to make.
The coronary bypass trials are ones that Dr. Eric Topol, of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and an early and outspoken critic of Vioxx, said he found concerning as they show a cluster of heart attacks and strokes. He said the danger signal does not appear to be as strong as it was with Vioxx.
"Celebrex and Bextra do appear safer than Vioxx but whether they are really safe, especially in patients with heart risk, that's an open question," Topol said.
Pfizer has updated the label on several occasions since Bextra was approved to reflect the risk of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a form of allergic reaction caused usually by certain types of drug. Symptoms usually begin as a blistering of the mouth and lips, spreading to the throat, tongue and other parts of the body. The blisters sometimes become so extensive as to be fatal.
Was Vioxx causing the heart attacks, or was naproxen protecting the heart? Few experts fault Merck for continuing to market Vioxx on the basis of that study alone.
But the evidence didn't stop there. Subsequent studies based on reviews of large numbers of clinical records continued to show troubling indications. The final straw was a piece of research that Merck conducted. It was a particularly careful study — a randomized, double-blind trial of 2,600 patients, comparing Vioxx with a placebo — designed to determine whether Vioxx might prevent the formation of polyps in the colon. The study was scheduled to last three years, but two weeks ago, the panel of doctors and statisticians that was monitoring the trial's safety data informed Merck that the evidence of cardiovascular problems in the subjects taking Vioxx was clear — so clear that the trial should be halted immediately.
Although the reason Vioxx caused heart problems is not certain, researchers believe its selective action on the COX-2 enzyme, but not the COX-1, throws the prostanoids involved in clotting out of balance.
But is this reason to celebrate?


Asian MMA promotion, One Championship, has continued its unprecedented weight management reform, and has indicated that all contracted athletes will be required to move upwards to the next weight division, in addition to the previously reported ban on weight cutting through dehydration. One Championship CEO Victor Cui appeared on Fox Sports Asia to clarify on some of the developments. Cui outlined how the big decisions were made, and how all champions will retain their status despite moving up a division. Via Yahoo Sports: "All our athletes will move up a weight class together and in unison," Cui explained. All champions will remain crowned, with the only difference being a shift in their weight division. For example, 155lb lightweight champion Shinya Aoki will be become the 170lbs welterweight champion, and previous welterweight champion Ben Askren will become the leader at middleweight (185lbs). Cui continued, "First and foremost, it allows athletes to compete at the weight that they walk around every single day and that makes it a level and safe playing field for all athletes. What we're implementing has been in place for several years already in collegiate wrestling in the United States and been a topic of discussion with multiple industry experts all around the world. "We are very fortunate on the ONE Championship team that we've got some of the most respected and experienced people in the industry. Matt Hume, who has been in the industry for over 25 years, is our VP of competition, our VP Rich Franklin is a former world champion himself, and we have consulted with doctors in the West and in the East to put forward what we think is really a game changing plan to make this a safer sport for all athletes." The ground breaking action has been implemented following the tragic death of Chinese flyweight Yang Jiang Bing who, on December 11th, was reportedly rushed to hospital and passed away as a result of weight cutting complications prior to his anticipated appearance under the One Championship banner.

Moncler Sales Rose 15 Percent in 2017
The Italian luxury outerwear maker said it foresaw further growth in 2018, after posting a rise in revenue last year and launching a new product strategy based on faster-paced collections.
MILAN, Italy — Italian luxury outerwear maker Moncler said on Monday it foresaw further growth in 2018, after posting a 15 percent rise in revenue last year and launching a new product strategy based on faster-paced collections.
The group said last week it was changing its product strategy, bidding farewell to catwalk shows in favour of monthly product launches, in a bid to keep up with the industry's younger and more fickle customers.
Revenue last year rose to 1.194 billion euros (1.05 billion pounds), just above a Thomson Reuters estimate of 1.183 billion euros. Sales were up 17 percent at constant exchange rates.
Moncler, which sells signature puffer jackets for as much as 1,000 euros ($1,230) proposed to pay a dividend of 0.28 euros per share on 2017 results, up from the 0.18 euros per share paid the previous year.
"...We have decided to start a new exciting and challenging chapter for our business, which I strongly believe, will drive us to new heights with greater determination," Chairman and Chief Executive Remo Ruffini said in a statement.
The group will be holding a capital markets day on Tuesday.

Knesset producing film to fight anti-circumcision laws
by Lahav Harkov & Sam Sokol (with Herb Keinon)
The Knesset is producing a short pro-circumcision documentary, to be filmed this week and shown in a committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe next week.
On Monday, MK Nachman Shai (Labor) will represent Israel in the PACE Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, where he plans to screen the film.
German ex-MP Marlene Rupprecht, who pushed through a motion limiting ritual circumcision last year, invited four doctors to the committee. She also invited filmmaker Victor Schonfeld to present It's a Boy, an anti-circumcision documentary he had produced.
"It's a Boy is very bad for the Jewish tradition. Victor Schonfeld is a known anti-Zionist," Shai said. [And the relevance of that is...] "We demand equal time for our views."
Shai received approval from Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein on Monday to hire a production company that will interview experts on the topic of circumcision.
The seven- to eight-minute short will also feature Israeli doctors who traveled to Africa to circumcise men in an effort to fight AIDS.
"Maybe we'll call our film 'It's a Circumcised Boy,'" Shai quipped.
The Knesset plans to reuse the film to explain the importance of not outlawing ritual circumcision during lawmakers' visits to Europe and other places around the world.
Meanwhile, Thorbjørn Jagland, secretary-general of the Council of Europe, during a meeting with Muslim and Jewish clerics on Monday slammed the 2013 resolution by his organization's legislative arm expressing opposition to ritual circumcision.
The council is a pan-European intergovernmental organization of 47 member states that is not affiliated with the European Union, and which cannot pass binding laws.
Speaking with a delegation of rabbis and imams that the New York based Foundation For Ethnic Understanding organized, Jagland asserted that "starting to limit the rights of minorities is a very dangerous avenue to pursue.
"Whenever we have limited their rights, it has always led to catastrophe," he told the delegation, that included Said Aalla, the former imam of Strasbourg, where COE is headquartered, as well as René Gutman, the city's chief rabbi.
FFEU president Rabbi Marc Schneier praised Jagland, and said he believed that the battle for ritual circumcision was "not an issue which affects only Jews or only Muslims, but truly hurts the traditions of a large percentage of the peoples of faith both here in Europe and around the world."
"What the secretary-general basically said is that this is a moot discussion because they can discuss and debate and deliberate all that they want but there is no way that the Council of Europe is ever going to accept such a resolution or proclamation.
It is just not going to happen," Schneier told the Post. "If we were to ban circumcision then Muslims and Jews would no longer be able to continue living in Europe."
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe passed a resolution in October calling male ritual circumcision a "violation of the physical integrity of children" and urging the organization's member states to "initiate a public debate, including intercultural and interreligious dialogue, aimed at reaching a large consensus on the rights of children to protection against violations of their physical integrity according to human rights standards."
Jewish organizations reacted harshly, with the leaders of some European communities deeming the measure to be deeply anti-Semitic. Israel and Turkey, both COE member states, issued denunciations. Israel has prepared a text for a counter-resolution, which it hopes to pass through PACE.
This is not the first time that the COE secretary-general has denounced the PACE resolution. In November, Jagland told a gathering of European rabbis in Berlin that "in no way does the Council of Europe want to ban the practice of male circumcision."
"Female genital mutilation violates human rights. Male circumcision does not. That is my position. That is the position of the Council of Europe," he said.
While the PACE resolution has no legal standing, such resolutions exert a powerful moral influence in Europe, and the secretary-general's statements asserting the body's opposition to the concepts embodied in the resolution can be seen as an effort to change the prevailing discourse surrounding circumcision.
European Jewish activists believe that Jagland's statements are part of a battle to set the moral agenda in Europe on issues of religious freedom, and that the resolution, non-binding as it is, was the opening salvo of an effort to turn local initiatives against circumcision into a continent-wide moral crusade against the practice.
Speaking with The Jerusalem Post on Monday, Conference of European Rabbis chief Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt expressed his concern that PACE "has not yet rescinded its position against circumcision," but expressed hope that during next week's debate "the members of PACE will reflect on their infringement of religious freedom, which is a fundamental value of the Council."
Maren Lambrecht, a COE official, confirmed to the Post that it is procedurally impossible to cancel a previously passed resolution, but indicated that a special panel will examine the topic next week and that several medical experts and religious leaders will attend and present their views on the matter. While there will not be a formal decision taken at the end of this meeting, she said, the discussion is necessary due to the "harsh international debate" engendered by the 2013 resolution, among other reasons.
"What it could lead to is that some of the people who might be interested in preparing a new text would listen to some of the debates next week, and maybe this could influence what they are going to write in a new report," Lambrecht said.
Despite news reports, she said, "there will not be a discussion at this meeting on the [Israeli] counterproposal" during the session.

Jerk Energy Soda is just another foray into the over-saturated and over-caffeinated energy drink market. While there's a new energy drink born every minute, this one piqued my interest pretty much solely for the name alone. Plus it's got some 80s era retro gaming style graphics so I figured the 50 cents price tag was reasonable. Also I get to say the phrase "Jerk Juice". Heh…jerk juice.
The only input I got about this drink beforehand was that the gal at the store told us it "tasted like Sweet Tarts". With 36g of scrumptious sugar per can (regular Coca-Cola has 39g, for reference), I figured it really couldn't taste like anything besides candy.
While most energy drinks are a fluorescent, doctor-shocking urine yellow, Jerk's got a nice blue-green color to it (blue whens it comes from the can, green in the glass, so I figured I'd have some wacky light refraction action going on in our photo). I was secretly hoping it'd be purple though.
All in all, not a terrible drink for 50 cents a can. While I would enjoy a diet version since more sugar is the last thing I need (though artificial sweeteners probably aren't much better), Jerk has a decent taste for what it's worth. I might just buy a few more cans and get my jerk on again in the future.

Recently my husband and I were talking about how our hobbies and "me time" have really taken a backseat since Jax was born. It got me thinking of what some of my hobbies are, and my top three were baking, reading, and (gasp) photography.
BUT THAT'S MY JOB! Saying your job is also your hobby is lame, right?
But long before I started my business (way way back), I loved photography and always had a camera with me. But I've found that the more I'm working, the less I'm photographing just for fun. So when my usual wheat field down the road from our house magically sprouted a bajillion beautiful wildflowers this summer, I HAD to shoot there. Which led to me packing up the family on a whim after dinner because it was cloudy and beautiful and you never know when the field will be mowed down! My husband was thrilled, obvs.


This is one of the longest running casinos in the industry. Hippodrome was launched in 1900 and since then has been synonymous with innovative, styling entertainment. The online casino endeavours to provide players with an experience just as unique as they would enjoy at the physical venues.
The gaming catalogue at Hippodrome Casino is extensive, with over 450 titles to choose from, and consists mainly of table games and slots. The casino recently made the switch from using Boss Media software to the dominant industry player, Microgaming. This software firm are world renowned for providing the highest quality online gaming software and this is definitely reflected in the selection at Hippodrome Casino.
Players of the authentic casino styles can enjoy table games such as roulette, baccarat and blackjack. The casino has bridged the gap between online gaming and the true casino experience by providing innovative live dealer games. Besides the table games, there is a whole host of really impressive slots on offer. Enjoy the sharp graphics and rich audio of the Hitman, The Dark Night and Hellboy slot games and many more.
The promotions section at Hippodrome Casino leaves a lot to be desired. You will find a standard welcome bonus, which can be found on every online casino. They are offering a bonus of up to £1,000 over the first three deposits. There are literally no other offers available on the site. It seems strange that a company which has been providing casino entertainment for over 100 years has not put any effort into hosting any special promotions. In a competitive market, crowded with online casino sites, this lack of special promos is not exactly going to get people rushing to join the site.
Given that this site has not been around for long and that it is already looking very establish, it is definitely showing promise. The quality gaming selection is excellent, and the innovative live dealer services make the table games very exciting. All the casino needs to do is focus on providing some special promotions and it could be set to secure its position in the online casino industry.

A tool for monitoring city resilience.
A dashboard for all the Fab Cities where citizens, civic leaders, digital fabrication laboratories and makers can understand the existing resilience of their cities and how they are having an impact on it.
¿How close is a city to being resilient, self-sufficient and guaranteeing opportunity and wellbeing to its citizens so that they can be the masters of their own destiny? Based on the well-being indexes developed by OECD at country and regional level, data from the World Bank and fablabs.io, we developed a first prototype of the City Resilience Index that you can explore below.
A Fab City project developed at Visualizar'16 at Medialab Prado. Source on GitHub.
Fab City is a global project for the development of locally productive and globally connected self-sufficient cities towards a new urban model that shifts how cities source and use materials with more production occurring inside the city, along with recycling materials and meeting local needs through local inventiveness.
A city's imports and exports would mostly be data (information, knowledge, design, code). In this way, the citizens and the city increase their resilience because the movements of materials and the associated energy consumption and carbon emissions typical of the current economy are drastically reduced.
The proposal aims at developing a visualisation tool for Fab Cities that show the relationships between urban spaces and their networks of design, production and consumption by highlighting their supply chains, resilience and impact. Such a tool can help cities and citizens to understand how citizens design and produce in urban spaces within networks of suppliers, manufacturers, craftsmen, fab labs, makerspaces, hackerspaces. The project focuses on a dashboard for all the Fab Cities, where citizens can understand the existing resilience of cities regarding manufacturing, and how the Maker movement is having an impact on this. Citizens will be able to document and discuss their projects and their impact on the local systems and networks.

Can Treasury Demand Satisfy Refunding?
The Treasury Department is finding that demand for U.S. government debt is no longer insatiable.
Bond prices are tumbling as the three-week selloff in global sovereign debt markets accelerates, pushing yields on 30-year U.S. bonds on Monday to the highest since November. That?s probably not a good omen as the Treasury prepares to sell $64 billion in notes and bonds the next three days.
Demand for the U.S. government securities sold at auction has declined in each of the past three months, after also slumping in the August-through-October 2014 period, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That?s a far cry from the surging investor interest that pushed demand to a record in 2012.
While the risk of higher yields is weighing on demand, the Treasury is also competing with more than $20 billion of debt slated to be sold by companies including Qualcomm Inc., Capital One Financial Corp. and Seagate Technology.

What I want is to show you the search results that fit the keyword when you enter more than one keyword.
Together in the situation below.

A: Your details are a bit unclear, you should provide the errors you are getting, if any, and if possible a translation of the words that are not in english, since they seem to be used as variables and/or props.
If your error happens during the mapping in spotlist.jsx and everything else is working, then try this:
spotlist.jsx
const Spotlist = ({ filterTourlistSpot }) => {
  return (

      {filterTourlistSpot().map((spot) => (
        <SearchSpot spot={spot} />
      ))}

  );
};

You forgot to call your filterTourlistSpot function before mapping the array returned from the filtering inside the body of that function.
If this does not solve your issue, please provide some more information about your problem and I will edit my answer to give a better solution.

Mid-19th century peach gardens
Golden Queen peaches
Goldmine nectarines
Black Doris plums (1st of 2)
Sugared plum blossoms
Stone fruit, also known as summerfruit, are apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums. They are all members of the prunus genus of trees and shrubs.
None are native to New Zealand. Peaches originated in China, nectarines in central Asia, and apricots probably in China and central Asia. Cherries are native to the Caspian–Black Sea region and as far east as China. The Japanese plum originated in China and the European plum is indigenous to middle Europe. These fruits spread into Europe and northern Africa along the trade routes. European colonists brought them to New Zealand.
There is no record of who introduced stone fruit to New Zealand. Groves of wild peaches, known as 'Māori peaches', were found growing along several North Island rivers by the first European settlers. They may have been planted by the explorer James Cook and his crew, or by early 19th-century sealing or whaling gangs. The first peach orchard was planted about 1840.
Stone fruit were widely planted in home and commercial orchards, so it is difficult to estimate the total annual production of any one variety, or how much was eaten locally.
Among the first fruit trees imported to New Zealand were peaches and nectarines raised by Thomas Rivers in England. In the late 19th century locally selected seedlings were found to be more suited to New Zealand's soil and climate than most introduced cultivars. Favourites were Golden Queen peaches (raised by E. Reeve about 1906), a heavy bearing tree with yellow-fleshed fruit widely used for canning, and Paragon peaches (raised by H. R. Wright about 1903), which were popular for home preserving and desserts.
The Goldmine nectarine, a natural hybrid, was discovered growing in an Auckland garden in the 1890s and became the leading commercial variety in New Zealand as well as Australia.
For love and luck
In Europe, apricots were long considered an aphrodisiac, and they feature for that reason in Shakespeare's A midsummer night's dream and John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi. In English folklore, dreaming of apricots is said to be good luck. However, in China the fruit is a symbol of cowardice.
Popular early varieties of apricot were the Roxburgh red (imported from Australia in 1867), Moorpark (from England) and Newcastle (from California).
The European greengage plum was the most popular for canning and making jam. Of the Japanese plums, which are generally earlier flowering and larger, Burbank was the most popular. Omega was the most widely planted plum in New Zealand, and Black Doris was second.
All of the main cherry cultivars have been imported. Dawson, a large, black fruit, is the most popular.
Through the mid-20th century, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) evaluated peach, nectarine and apricot and some plum cultivars to determine those best suited to different regions. The DSIR also investigated ways to control fungal, bacterial and viral diseases and insect pests.
