China warns on U.S. deployment of arms in Asia as trade tensions flare
By Associated Press and Reuters with NBC News World News • Updated: 06/08/2019

BEIJING — China said Tuesday that it "will not stand idly by" and will take countermeasures if the U.S. deploys intermediate-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region, which Washington has said it plans to do within months.
The statement from the director of the foreign ministry's Arms Control Department, Fu Cong, follows the U.S.'s withdrawal last week from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a move Fu said would have a "direct negative impact on the global strategic stability" as well as security in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
Fu's comments also come as the country's central bank said Washington's earlier decision to label Beijing a currency manipulatorwould "severely damage international financial order and cause chaos in financial markets," further worsening tensions between the world's largest economies.

China was particularly concerned about announced plans to develop and test a land-based intermediate-range missile in the Asia-Pacific "sooner rather than later," in the words of one U.S. official, Fu said.
"China will not stand idly by and be forced to take countermeasures should the U.S. deploy intermediate-range ground-based missiles this part of the world," he told reporters at a specially called briefing.
He also advised other nations, particularly South Korea, Japan and Australia, to "exercise prudence" and not allow the U.S. to deploy such weapons on their territory, saying that would "not serve the national security interests of these countries."
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in Asia over the weekend that he wanted to deploy midrange conventional missiles in the Asia-Pacific within months. Australian officials said Monday that the locations for the bases were not yet known but their country would not be one of them.
Trade tensions
The arms debate comes amid amid a rapidly escalating China-U.S. trade war.
The Treasury Department's decision to dub Beijing a currency manipulator would "prevent a global economic and trade recovery," the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said in the country's first official response to the latest U.S. salvo.

China "has not used and will not use the exchange rate as a tool to deal with trade disputes," the PBOC said in a statement on its website.
"China advised the United States to rein in its horse before the precipice, and be aware of its errors, and turn back from the wrong path," it said.
The U.S. currency accusation, which followed a sharp slide in the yuan on Monday, has driven an even bigger wedge between China and the U.S., and crushed any lingering hopes for a quick resolution to their year-long trade war.
The dispute has already spread beyond tariffs to other areas such as technology, and analysts caution tit-for-tat measures could widen in scope and severity, weighing further on business confidence and global economic growth.
The Treasury Department said on Monday it had determined for the first time since 1994 that China was manipulating its currency, taking their trade dispute beyond tariffs.
China "no longer expects goodwill from the United States", Hu Xijin, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, tweeted on Tuesday.

There are some things, however, that can make it slightly easier.
One of these things is just being open-minded, approachable and kind to others.
Unfortunately, Tinder user Chad missed the mark on this one and is now going viral for it.
In a post shared to Reddit, a user shared Chad's rather dramatic list of demands for a potential match.
WARNING: These are his words, not ours, and they are offensive.
Be fit and toned, go to the gum > 2 weekly.
Be no more than 5' 6 and no less than 5'2 in height.
Give good h*** and call me anything I want.
Be able to cook and clean.
Devote as much of your time to me as possible.
Have a steady income > $70,000pa.
Have own apartment that I can crash at occasionally.
Smoke, drink or do drugs.
If you fit these criteria, swipe right, I will not settle for anything less.
Naturally, the lovely Chad is getting quite the response.

Belina's Case Of Egg Yolk Peritonitis
Written by Dr. Richard Jones, BVSc MSc MRCVS
Belina is a 3-year-old ex-battery hen who first presented to us for a routine health check while her companion Dora was under treatment for an oviduct infection. The oviduct (the birds uterus) is a sausage like structure which 'catches' an ovulated follicle and yolk from the ovary, and miraculously in about 24 hours adds white, membranes and a shell to build a fully formed calcified egg!
In laying hens this structure works incredibly hard; in effect giving birth every 24 hours and as such can be prone to damage and subsequent infection. In Belina's case, despite being an apparent picture of health, a firm, swollen oviduct was picked up at her health check. She hadn't laid for a while and in such cases the concern is that the oviduct may have become obstructed with subsequent yolks and partially formed eggs building up behind.
If left unchecked, yolks can actually start to spill out into the body cavity leading to a potentially life threatening abdominal infection known as peritonitis.
The priority was to try and stop further ovulation which in many cases we achieve with the aid of a slow release hormone implant injected under the skin over the breast muscle. In most cases this together with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and careful feeding will stop the progression of the condition. As such the initial plan was to implant Belina as a preventative measure.
Unfortunately despite this treatment, the mass continued to grow at an alarming rate and she began to show signs of illness, sitting quietly away from the rest of the birds and passing watery droppings containing undigested food. She was hospitalized for close observation and despite supportive care she continued to lose weight, and appeared to be drinking much more than normal.
We were concerned that the mass now either involved the intestinal tract, liver or kidneys resulting in the above symptoms. A blood sample was taken to assess her organ function which although showed she was now becoming anaemic; liver and kidney parameters were still all within normal limits. Despite putting on a brave face her quality of life was starting to deteriorate with her comb losing its colour, continued weight loss and her breathing now becoming laboured.
She was obviously not responding to medical treatment so the decision was made to further investigate the mass via endoscopy, with the owners now prepared for the worst.
Once asleep she was attached to a mechanical ventilator that would breathe for her throughout the anaesthetic and an intravenous line placed to provide fluids, antibiotics and pain relief.
It soon became apparent there was actually no room to insert the endoscope as the mass was now filling the entire body cavity! As such the only option was to surgically explore the abdomen to identify and hopefully remove the mass.
A two and a half hour surgery ensued, confirming the mass as a grapefruit sized, pus filled oviduct and then removing it by carefully dissecting it away from the surrounding organs.
Belina's abdomen before and during removal of the mass in her surgery.
Specially designed metal clips were used to clamp off the many major blood vessels. With the mass finally removed we could clearly see why she had been unable to properly digest her food. The gizzard (which is the muscular part of the stomach, responsible for grinding up the food and essentially operates as the bird's teeth) had been compressed to such an extent that food was not even entering, but running straight over it, into the intestines and being passed out undigested.
Belina's abdomen during and after surgery.
Despite losing over 500g which was a ¼ of her body weight during the op she made a remarkable recovery, to the point we saw her for her final check to remove stitches and she had already put the weight back on. The owners were delighted and inform us that she is now feeling better than ever and already regained her position at the very top of the pecking order!
Three and a half years after her dramatic 'hysterectomy' op, Belina (and her friends) visited us for their annual health check.

We were pleased to report that at 6 years old, she looked fantastic and most certainly still the top of the pecking order--with no signs of slowing down!!

Q: Определить множество, на котором данное отношение является функциональным, биективным Определить множество (если это возможно), на которой данное
отношение являются: а) функциональным; б) биективним:
Как это решить
Может кто-то скинет пример решения подобной задачи

A: Обращаем внимание, что при x<0, y не определён (я бы поспорил, но пусть так)
Также на x⊆ℝ₊ функция монотонно возрастает

*

*ℝ — множество действительных чисел

*∪ℝ₊ — множество неотрицательных действительных чисел

а) ℝ×∪ℝ₊

Функциональное отношение — это когда для каждого элемента первого множества есть не более одного элемента второго.
То есть, если x⊆ℝ, то для каждого будет либо 0, либо 1 значение в множестве y⊆∪ℝ₊

б) ∪ℝ₊×∪ℝ₊

Биективное отношение(отображение) — это такое, в котором, для каждого элемента первого множества есть ровно один элемент второго и наоборот.
То есть, если x⊆∪ℝ₊, то для каждого будет ровно 1 значение в множестве y⊆∪ℝ₊ и наоборот, каждому такому y соответствует ровно 1 значение x.

All Woke Up: White liberals unhappy about Biden's whiteness
Empower Wisconsin | April 27, 2020
Nothing eats at a woke white liberal like being forced to have to vote for an old white guy.
A recent poll by the Pew Research Center shows about 41 percent of all Democratic voters are bothered that their party's nominee — former Vice President Joe Biden — is, well, Joe Biden.
Half of white respondents are uncomfortable with Biden's whiteness. Black and Hispanic respondents, not so much. About 28 percent of African-Americans surveyed had a problem with the pale rider, and 30 percent of Hispanics thought Biden's whiteness was an issue.
"The younger, more liberal, more highly educated, and whiter the respondent, the more likely they were to care about the candidate's identity," Reason's Robby Soave wrote.
Apparently those polled had no problems with Biden's handsy past, his weird stories about children playing with his leg hair, his hyper-aggressive behavior when confronted by heavy-set Iowans, or the fact that his cognitive issues may make him wholly unfit to serve as president.
But his age and whiteness, that's a big problem for the painfully woke.

Woman - Metamorphosis of Modernity.
26 Nov-6 Feb 2005. This exhibition at the Fundaci Joan Mir contains over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs that attempt to capture the essence of womanhood. The works by 20 artists of international renown including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Joan Mir, Yoko Ono, Georgia OKeeffe, Marcel Dunchamp and Le Corbusier span the period covering the late 1920s to the 1970s. The show contains works highlighting how social and political changes brought about a new way of looking at the female form. The goal of the exhibition is to answer why and how the representation of woman has been a key element in modernity. The shows various sections start with the vision of woman as seen by other women, and moves on to the male approach emphasising the curvature the of female figure as the source of an act of love, sensuality and voluptuousness. Other sections focus on the experimental art of the 1960s.

The problem isn't very noticeable on the lower difficulty maps, but it is virtually unplayabble, on master and even expert I can't get a good experience without the fight freezing and when it returns I'm getting demolished by a motormaster or a primal, or when I even try to dodge sideways and the game slightly lags and the input is not resgistered and I get 7 comboed.
This was temporarily solved in an update and I managed to have a very good time playing without breaks and freezes, unfortunately this was later undone in another update (November 11th, I think), and the game went back on being the same thing.
Why did it happen? why couldn't things have stayed the way they were? I am slightly insane?

« New Michele Malkin Video

"Hadji Girl" Author Exonerated
Hadji Girl, Islam, Political Correctness, The Mainstream Media, USMC, War on Terror
The tempest in a USMC canteen cup whipped up by MSM's politically-correct thought police over Corporal Belile's humorous little song is over. Possibly the Marine Corps still has enough good men simply to laugh the idea of charging a Marine corporal serving in a combat theatre in time of war with violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for writing and performing a song poking fun at the bloodthirsty fanaticism of the enemy.
Or perhaps Michelle Malkin and the rest of the right side of the Blogosphere directed enough effective ridicule at the uniformed, and un-uniformed, forces of compulsory piety to drive them back into their burrows on this one.
At any rate, congratulations and best wishes to Corporal Belile and his band "the Sweater Kittenz." Let's hope they get a better name, and go on to successful post-Marine Corps career of offending liberals and insulting CAIR.
Reuters:
The U.S. military will not punish a Marine who performed an obscenity-laced song to a laughing and cheering crowd of fellow troops in Iraq making light of killing Iraqis, the Marine Corps said on Tuesday.
The Marines two weeks ago launched a preliminary inquiry into whether Cpl. Joshua Belile, who returned home from Iraq in March, violated military law or rules in singing the song, a four-minute video of which was posted on the Internet…
"The preliminary inquiry has been concluded. No punitive action will be taken against Corporal Belile. And there will be no further investigation," said Maj. Shawn Haney, a spokeswoman at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina.
Haney said the inquiry ruled out any violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Another Marine Corps official, who asked not to be named because details of the inquiry are private, said poor taste, poor judgment and poor timing, not to mention offensive lyrics, do not necessarily amount to criminal conduct.

15 Months DO Make a Difference!
Guess what's on my "To-Do" list this last week of 2008?
Ever get in the mood to browse new genealogy blogs? I do, though I don't often have time to do it much now. I used to use Google and just type in "Genealogy Blog" and browse. Or browse the geneabloggers' on Facebooks. Which are both good sources. Tonight I found a new source. Well, it's been around for a bit, I guess, but I was re-introduced to it tonight.
I was checking out my Feedjit widget to see where people were coming from to read my blog. I think it's fascinating to see where people come from and, when they come from a search engine, what search terms they used that brought them to my site. One came from the blogfinder from Genealogue.com. That site is written by Chris Dunham, and he is an absolute riot. He has a fantastic site called Genealogy Blog Finder that not only lists genealogy blogs, but categorizes them. Looking for instructional genealogy blogs? They're there. Looking for blogs on specific geographical regions? They're there. Surnames? Yes. Technology? Of course! Photography? Yep.
Head on over to www.blogfinder.genealogue.com and you'll be amazed, too. And check out the "Who's Blogging Where?" Map while you're ... there.
Forty Things About Me (And then about YOU).
Forty things about me and then about you when you do it yourself. (honestly, I'm not sure what this last part means unless it's just saying that you need to post this to a blog or facebook site after you read it?). At any rate, I posted it here so as to avoid forwarding it via email, so if any of my readers that don't blog or facebook wish to participate, answer the questions and email me the answers!

Many of you know that I have a special blog set up for my dog, Izzie. I started this blog the day I brought Izzie home from the shelter. I'm not really sure why; part of me thought that adoption would make a good children's book and perhaps I could use Iz as the main character in the book. It turned out to be one, a creative outlet for me, and two, another method to connect with other dog lovers. Not too long after that, I'd found an online community of dog-bloggers known as Dogs With Blogs (DWB). I'd found that I was just 1 of over 600 dog-bloggers (now over 1,000!).
Anyway, it's quite a community with lots of funny blogs, educational blogs, and daily life blogs. Much like the GeneaBlogger community. Members share their laughter, tears, and joys of raising dogs and reaching out to others. One member, Pappy, created a video of a group of the dogs in the DWB community lip-synching to the song, Do They Know It's Christmas, by Band-Aid. I think it's a cute way to spread a message that reaches beyond the holidays. Since footnoteMaven is recruiting carolers, I present this video.

The Best of The Worst
Posted on April 24, 2013 by A Girl
Last week my dermatologist's assistant called to tell me that the official word came in. The thing on my forehead was/is cancer. I made an appointment to go in to discuss options. That appointment was yesterday.
As a quick aside, my daughter and I were asked to participate in a photo shoot for an gun article written by my friend Lynne. That was Monday night. I left there sick, sick, sick. In addition to tossing my cookies the entire drive home(did I mention I was the one driving?), I spent the next day and half in bed. I was feeling much better by my appointment yesterday, but not my usually chipper self.
When my doctor came in to see me she said…
"Make no mistake there is no good kind of cancer. Cancer is bad and unwanted in any form. Having said that, yours is very remediable". As she said, I have the best of the worst. Cancer is the worst, but Basal-cell carcinoma is the best to have as already stated by other bloggers who have been there done that.
Due to the location she suggested we go with the cream. She is a big fan of the cream. My first thoughts were lets just cut the thing out. Intellectually, I understand this is not the end of the world, but I just hate having cancer in me, on me, growing…I want it out, but I trust her judgement. She did a very good job of explaining why she felt the cream was a good option and said if I wanted the surgery then that is what we would do.
So, for the next 2 months I will be applying this super cream to my forehead 3 times a week and then in 3 months I will go back to be checked. There is every reason to believe that this is basically a non issue and once dealt with should not cause any more concern.
I want to thank everyone who came here to offer me support and kind words. I realize that this is not that big of deal in the world of big deals, but in my world it was. Kindness is one of the greatest gifts one can give. Truly, thank you!!

Had one on the right side of my nose. After Moh's surgery and umpteen stitches the doc did such a good job you'd never know it was there. (Thank you, Dr. Cook, at MUSC in Charleston, SC!)
Yeah!!! Glad that went well!!!
My doctor is Dr. Knight in Richmond Va and she is awesome as well!!!

Good news there Ms. A!!! As for it not being a big deal – any time you hear the "C" word, it's a big deal!! BTDT, twice – it's a big deal. But the big news is that results keep getting better so folks can actually say it's not a big deal!
I just had my 10-year anniversary. April 15, 2003 saw my prostate removed. Been cancer free every since. One more checkup and I'll say my good-byes and thank yous to the doc for taking care of me. Yesterday was 30 years since my lovely wife's last chemo treatment. And she's still kicking my butt when I need it!
It is a big deal, glad it was good news! Now, just take care of yourself and enjoy your summer!!
So, so glad you and the wife kicked cancers butt!!!!!
Thank you for being so kind to me!

Are there side effects to the cream?
The only thing she mentioned was that if I have other cancerous spots on my face the cream will bring them out. Kind of freaky. She also said that just putting the cream on the spot that has already been diagnosed will take care of the other spots should they appear.
My skin will turn bright red, but that means it is working. If the spot begins to get liquidy or leaky I need to cut back on the days I put the cream on. She did give me some other ointment in case it begins to get bothersome.

Hang in there Lady, and listen to the doc, but make your OWN decisions. You know you have the support that you need.
Thank you so much! The support means so very much!!!

Erin Palette on April 24, 2013 at 12:22 said:
I had no idea there was such a thing as anti-cancer cream. That feels very futuristic to me!
Glad it's Basal Cell and not the other kind. You're going to kick its ass so hard it will stay away from your entire family!
Hugs and love to you!
Seriously…but it isn't not really future worthy. I was kind of hoping for some bubbling or burning or something to let me know ti was working…nothing.
In the future I want something a little more dramatic:)
Suz on April 24, 2013 at 12:38 said:
I'm so glad you fought to get in for a quick diagnosis, and I'm relieved that it's a relatively minor cancer!
Me too!!!! Thank you so very much!!
Butch Lawson on April 24, 2013 at 13:02 said:
I have used the cream on two occasions on two different sites. It worked like a charm on my arm and not at all on my leg. You can tell if it is working as it will get red and "worse" looking as your body sends the troops to the site to kill the invader. If it works, you will be pleased with the results. If it does not, the Mohs surgery is a successful second choice and, because of how it is done, virtually guarantees getting all the cancer on the first visit. Downside is that, in my case, it takes quite a while to heal. The best news is that it is basal cell. The bad news is that if you have grown one, you are very likely to do it again and should be religious about regular visits to see your dermatologist friends.
You can deal with this and kick its ass! Piece o' cake!
Thank you Butch.
My dermatologist said once we get this one licked we will do a once over on the whole body and go fro there.
Glad you are well!
Jennifer on April 24, 2013 at 13:43 said:
Glad you've got a plan. It'll be over before you know it. And I'm with Erin, that cream sounds like living in the future

Hang in there. You're strong and will kick its tail. In case I haven't said it before, eff cancer.
You have said it and you have no idea how much I appreciate those words. Thank you!
Sandy Livesay on April 24, 2013 at 15:03 said:
I'm happy to hear your doctor is not playing around, and has made a plan of action to target this cancer. Keep an eye on it, if you see changes not discussed by your doctor or you have concerns see your doctor immediately.
Sandy, you have been so nice to me. Thank you!!
RabidAlien on April 24, 2013 at 16:45 said:
Still prayin, but at least its the best option of a crappy set of options! And like Erin said, you're gonna kick this crap so hard it'll never bother your family again!
Love, love love it!!!
For some reason, whenever I envision you kicking cancer's arse, I flash back to all those old, classic Bugs Bunny cartoons. The baseball ones, specifically…in every one, there was always that one hit where Bugs winds up for like 30 seconds, unleashes, and wallops the ball out of the park. Sometimes even out of the atmosphere. But the ball always had this terrified look, and was screaming as it went. So when I picture you kicking cancer's arse, I picture some nasty black blob screaming as it flies out into space, probably getting launched into the sun or some other galactic location where it can no longer bug another sentient life form.
^^^^ This.
Made me laugh and I love that visual. Thank you!!
Heh. I'm good for that, at least!
blu on April 24, 2013 at 17:16 said:
So happy in a "well, it could have been worse" kind of way. You're right, if there is a "good" cancer, you got it! So glad you get to use cream. I totally understand the "ewwww…get this thing offa me!" feeling. When I found out my cancer had gone to my lymph nodes, I was so pizzed off that I wanted to do 2 things: One, stop at the store and get totally smashed. Only problem is, I am such a lightweight drinker, it would have been a waste. Second, I wanted those damn lymph nodes, the ones which tested positive for cancer, and I wanted to stomp the living C outta them with my red anti-cancer boots! Neither happened, but I get where you're coming from.
Please keep us informed, try not to stress too much. I'm very happy for your "good" news!
No words. You are amazing!!!
DFW on April 24, 2013 at 18:24 said:
We all have cancer in our bodies. It's our bodes that decide how to fight/reject it, along with the help that we decide upon. Use your own common sense judgement to make those decisions. Cream sounds like a plan for the time being but YOU are the one that choses!
I will do that. Appreciate the support!
Kurt on April 24, 2013 at 18:26 said:
My wife's grandfather had a skin cream after he had a cancerous spot removed off his cheek, but he wasn't told to stay out of the sun and didn't read the label warnings before spending the summer at cabin on a lake and the cream starting killing off all the skin on his face. My wife describes him as having had a zombie face. So make sure you read the warning label!
Thanks Kurt. I have done the research on the cream and I am following doctors orders:) Although, I kind of like zombies…:)
George L. Lyon, Jr. on April 24, 2013 at 21:20 said:
Glad to hear it is at least the best of the worst. Amazing to hear of the anti-cancer crème. I had to research it after reading the post. Sounds a lot better than surgery.
Yep. My doctor is a big fan and she seems to think it will work. If not surgery, but there is every reason to believe this will work!!

I've had a couple of basal cell carcinomas, and a melanoma. All surgically removed. No recurrence of the basal cell ones. The melanoma came off last year; too soon to know if it's gone for good. PET scan didn't show any spread. These things are not good, but they are treatable. Hang in there.
Very much appreciate your comment and encouragement!!! Also very glad to hear things are going well for you and all treatments have been successful!!!!!!!!

Caught early, the cream is a good option. Skin cancers are common, but no less threatening than many other cancers. As Barney Fife would say (though you are probably too young to remember) "Ni it in the Bud!"

Co-Founder, Alibaba Group
The Chinese business magnate built his tech empire around e-commerce platforms and is spearheading the 'new retail' movement across Asia.
Jack Ma is the co-founder of tech conglomerate Alibaba Group and is a global ambassador for Chinese business. Having built his company from the ground up, he invested in a number of tech and e-commerce firms, with stakes in Lazada, YCloset, Tokopedia, Shiji, Intime Retail Group and Ordre. Since launching Luxury Pavilion in 2017, 60 luxury brands including Burberry, Versace, Marni, Tod's and Givenchy have joined the e-commerce site, which is accessible through Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao platforms.
Born Ma Yun to Chinese traditional musician-storytellers in Hangzhou, he taught himself English aged 12 and offered free guided tours to practice his English with foreign visitors. Ma graduated from Hangzhou Teachers College and became an English teacher, paid $15 a month. He encountered computers during a trip to Seattle as an interpreter for Chinese and American businessmen. With some friends he created "China Pages," which established websites for small businesses, and then headed an information technology company established by a department of the Chinese government.
However, in 1999 he quit and started Alibaba.com, a business-to-business marketplace for small and medium-sized Chinese enterprises, backed by $60,000 from 18 friends. By 2002, it had reached 1 million users and acquired investment from Goldman Sachs and SoftBank. Ma also built Taobao, a retail site, as well as payment platform Alipay. In 2013, Ma stepped down as chief executive, although he remains chairman. The company went public in 2014 on the New York Stock Exchange in the largest IPO in history, raising $25 billion.
In the fashion and e-commerce sphere, Jack Ma's "New Retail" is the company's guiding investment principle — a strategy to redefine commerce by enabling seamless engagement between the online and offline world, by building omnichannel retail ecosystems. The company has stakes in department store chain Intime, retail big-data firm Shiji, Indonesian marketplace Tokopedia, retail platform YCloset and Southeast Asian e-commerce site Lazada.
In 2017, Fortune ranked Ma second on its World's 50 Greatest Leaders list. In 2014, he was ranked as the 30th most powerful person in the world in an annual ranking published by Forbes and in May 2009, Time magazine listed Ma as one of the world's 100 most powerful people.
As of 2018, Ma is worth $40.9 billion.

We all know the NHS isn't perfect, but these days what is? I'm sick of people who don't actually work in the NHS trying to tell us what we should be doing or how we should be doing it. They may be occasional beneficiaries of the services the NHS provide, but they aren't involved in the day to day running of it so how can they think they are qualified to pass judgement.
Whilst Im banging on about our NHS problems; heres another big chunk of it. The less than useless middle managers we have to work with! I'm sick of these idiot managers that tell us we are over-spending THEIR money on OUR patients. What do they know about patient care?
These people (so called managers) frequently tell us that we can't do certain procedures or operations and I'm sick of the Department of Health denouncing their responsibilities. It's high time that professionals were properly funded and allowed to get on and do their job.
If they (the Department of Health) actually gave each Primary Care Trust in the country the amount of money that each Trust needed for their demographic, there would be enough money to go round and patients would get the care that they need.
As an example, Gloucestershire has a very high proportion of elderly, who obviously use more NHS resources. Does Gloucestershire get the amount of money it needs? No it definitely doesn't. You can't treat every area the same, just as you wouldn't treat each patient the same.
It's time the NHS was funded and managed properly and the people in the front line dealing with patients were actually listened to for a change.
Why it's all going down the plug hole.
There is a huge class system operating within the NHS. The surgeons and consultants walk the wards of the hospitals as if they they were aristocrats treating all and sundry they encounter with utter disdain. Utter snobs. The administrators are destroying the healthcare system through bureaucracy. The medically qualified do not talk to the administrators as it's beneath their dignity. The administrators try to make out their jobs are more imporatnt than they really are.
I have often though whether it would be better to be executed by the guillotine [how many minutes would my head be aware of its predicament after having been severed?] or pain and anguish suffered during the time awaiting for a judgement regarding euthanasia for myself in the event that I or my body was dying far too slowly.
To say that NHS is not perfect is a massive understatement. It's an absolute shambles.
Just had a bill from a London private hospital. I was in their care as an out patient for exactly 1 hour. They gave me a cup of tea and biscuits. Bill was £920 for the accommodation. Not the surgeon, not the medical advice. Just the hospital charges. Not even a proper room, it was a curtained area off a corridor.
The hospital management who receive a handsome salary always moan of lack of funding but still have sufficient funds to fight negligence cases. They hire expensive lawyers and barristers, recruit private detectives and other means to win their cases, but they just never have enough funds to recruit another underpaid nurse or feed their patients. What manipulative, cold and self-interested liars they are.
Some, and I mean some frontline staff should have never been recruited. They have poor communication skills, are extremely lazy, arrogant and with attitude problems. I watched a relative in Intensive care post heart bypass being treated badly by Intensive care nurses! I was absolutely mortified by their resentment at working and wondered why they had applied for such a sensitive and specialist job. Sick patients are in intensive care because they're nearing death (and I am stating the obvious here) but being treated with contempt by some nasty and lazy frontline nurses. Having complained about their bad behaviour, my relative was ignored and disrespected by other nurses in other departments. Clearly they'd been spreading nasty comments. It took confrontation with a Consultant, indirect threats and raised voices to humble them quickly.... I am outraged and saddened by the state of our NHS and think of those who have no-one to defend them at such vulnerable times.
I blame the NHS management who are not doing their job properly. They are not monitoring or taking patients health as the utmost importance. Excuses are made for poor services.
It is so easy to blame the front line staff. The management are their to supervise and monitor continuously but only sit in their offices looking at figures and defending key staff when complaints are made.
The hospital departments are good for some cases but mainly an overstretched poor service with poor management. They need to get rid of old managers, train up new managers who can check on the staff who are not up to a good standard of service.
My experience of NHS staff is worrying indeed. These reckless, incompetent, uninterested idiots should not be employed to murder, yes murder through sheer negligence, and then allowed to getaway with it. Do you know that once you complain about ill-treatment they play paranoia games to confuse you. They keep you waiting deliberately for appointments, tell you the oxygen monitor is not working at crucial moments, ring you in the middle of the night with wrong information to worry you incessantly, leave you in blood-soaked bedding for hours, seek negative personal rumours, lies to discredit you and drop hints Basically these sick individuals will resort to nasty tactics to cover up their criminal negligence. Why are these idiots being paid????!
A very Intelligent gripe essay,I could not agree more.The people who work for the nhs do get a good deal of unfair abuse and critisism.Speaking from my own experience of the Nhs the overwhelming majority are a great bunch of people.
Very true. Blasting around on blue lights in old knackered motors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leeds NHS trust are now employing the services of private ambulances, these are manned by unqualified staff, my only guess is that it is to save money but it will cost patients lives.
do as I have just done.the public are being invited to join the local trusts as members where we can have our say and hopefully get listened too.
The NHS is overburdened by people abusing the system. Calling out ambulances for minor injuries / illnesses. The ambulance service is a huge cost to the taxpayer and must be used responsibly. Some people actually call it out as a convenience so that they attempt to jump the queue at hospital, by attempting to bypass the triage nurse.
I dare not call one out unless it is serious, but others simple call them out for check ups????
Are we serious about using resources appropriately??


"Reid Coolsaet is wide awake, sprawled the wrong way on his hotel bed so he can prop his legs up against the headboard. ... his pursuit of the [Canadian national] record will take him into new territory: he cannot afford to waste precious seconds by starting too slowly, or squander precious energy by setting out too fast. So he has been training for months with a pace of precisely 3:05 per kilometre over 42.2 kilometres in mind, drumming the required rhythm into his head and legs until it feels automatic. The race organizers have arranged a dedicated 'rabbit,' a metronome-for-hire from Kenya whose only job is to help Coolsaet stick to this pace for as long as possible and then to drop out somewhere in the second half of the race. Far ahead, a phalanx of Kenyan and Ethiopian superstars will chase a time several minutes faster than the Canadian record, which is irrelevant to Coolsaet. His only adversary is the clock."
"But something doesn't feel quite right. Finally, he pulls out his earbuds, rolls out of bed, and pads downstairs to the hotel bar, where his long-time coach, Dave Scott-Thomas, is having a beer with other members of his support crew. 'I need to talk,' he tells Scott-Thomas. The two retreat to the lobby, the tousle-haired coach towering over his diminutive charge, and find a pair of couches where they can sit undisturbed. Coolsaet gets right to the point: 'I want to go out with the leaders tomorrow,' he says. 'And I want you to tell me if that's insane or not.'"

Die Tupolew TB-4 (, Werksbezeichnung ANT-16 – ) war ein schweres Bombenflugzeug des sowjetischen Konstrukteurs Andrei Nikolajewitsch Tupolew in den 1930er Jahren.

Geschichte
Sie entstand als Weiterentwicklung der viermotorigen TB-3, erhielt aber im Gegensatz zu dieser eine mit 422 m² wesentlich größere Flügelfläche (TB-3: 230 m²) sowie zwei zusätzliche AM-34-Motoren auf einem Stahlgerüst auf dem Rumpfrücken. Wie schon die TB-3 war auch die TB-4 als freitragender Tiefdecker in Ganzmetallbauweise konstruiert. Die Beplankung bestand aus Wellblech. Im Rumpf befanden sich zwei fünf Meter lange Bombenschächte, in denen bis zu 4000 kg Bomben befördert werden konnten. Das Heckradfahrwerk war starr und verfügte über zwei große Haupträder.

Die Konstruktionsarbeiten begannen im März 1930. Am 3. Juli 1933 startete die TB-4, gesteuert von Michail Gromow, zu ihrem Erstflug. Die Flugerprobung dauerte bis zum 2. September und wurde abwechselnd von den Piloten Rjasanow, Stefanowski und Njuchtikow absolviert. Am 29. September wurde die Zulassung erteilt. Im Verlaufe der Erprobung stellte sich jedoch heraus, dass die verwendeten Motoren trotz ihrer Anzahl für ein Flugzeug dieser Größenordnung zu schwach waren, und so wurde das Programm schließlich eingestellt. Die Maschine wurde 1937, zur Zivilflugzeug-Attrappe umgebaut, in dem Film "Die großen Schwingen" (Большие крылья) verwendet.

Als Weiterentwicklung entstand ein Jahr später das damals größte Landflugzeug der Welt, die Tupolew ANT-20.

Married taxi driver murders 17-year-old side Chic for cheating on him
My News Ghana3 weeks ago
A taxi driver in Solwezi, a town in Zambia has been arrested in connection with the murder of his 17-year-old girlfriend.
The taxi driver, who has been identified as Bruce, 28, is married but had a 17-year-old girlfriend.
It is alleged that on 25th December 2020, Bruce visited his girlfriend identified as Anna, a grade 7 pupil, at a named school.
However, Bruce and the girlfriend had a spat after he found out that his girl was cheating on him with another man.
Bruce, a father of one, later visited the girlfriend who was staying with her two relatives in Kademba.
According to sources, it is believed that her two parents and some elder siblings had gone to the farm and she was the only one who was home.
Bruce took advantage of the situation and choked and hit the girlfriend with a pestle on the head.
The sources further revealed that the only one around was the girlfriend's little brother, who is 7 years old, who heard his sister screaming. Before he could reach on the scene, he saw Bruce walking away from the house where he and Anna were.
"The neighbors rushed her to Solwezi General Hospital and she died on Saturday in the afternoon after sustaining internal injuries from the beatings," the source said.
Bruce has been arrested and is in custody at Central Police Station.
The Police command in North Western Province is yet to confirm the murder while police spokesperson Esther Katongo said her office has not yet received the details.

WordPress Website Maintenance Services: Why Do You Need 'Em?
Why Do You Need WordPress Website Maintenance Services?
WordPress is an amazing product – an open-source software program whose unique strength and appeal comes from the fact that is that it is constantly being improved and developed for increased functionality. Yet because it does work so beautifully and is so incredibly popular, it has become a prime target for hackers. With 20% of the web running on WordPress, the stakes are high to keep it safe and functioning at its best.
Updates for WordPress, themes and plugins provide you with the security and protection you need. Why?

Redskins Alums Join Service Members In Annual Pack4Troops Event
In partnership with the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), the Washington Redskins and Redskins Salute welcomed former and current service members and their families to join them Sunday at FedExField in packing 2,000 care packages for troops deployed overseas.
The event -- which came in support of the USO-Metro's Pack4Troops initiative that aims to deliver thousands of care packages to deploying service members at BWI Airport this holiday season -- kicked off at noon, with attendees lining up single-file to stock bags with chips, granola bars and other snacks. Items that were included have been identified by military officials as essential items that deploying service members find beneficial, as the process of deploying can take anywhere from 36 to 48 hours at once.
Among those present were former players Ravin Caldwell and Clarence Vaughn, both of whom played for the Redskins during their Super Bowl runs in 1987 and 1991.
"I'm just glad to be able to help these guys," said Vaughn, the son of a former Navy officer. "We couldn't do this without people like that sacrificing their lives for us. They're on the front line doing everything, keeping our country in a great democracy that it's supposed to be."
Vaughn, who has traveled to places like Kuwait, Iraq, and Spain in support of the military, said his sense of duty stems from the potential impact he knows he can have as a one-time Redskin.
"Some of the soldiers when they see players, or former players, it really helps them take away from the things that they have to deal with in their daily lives with what they're doing for our country," he said.
That is also true for Rhonda Killmon, a retired Coast Guard officer who's been a fan of the team for more than 40 years.
"Anything I [can] do with the Redskins, I definitely will," she stated.
Besides getting to work with some of those players she's watched, Killmon enjoyed meeting some of her fellow service members, too.
"In the line here, talking with other service members, we swap stories of where we were stationed and our experiences," she said. "I got to talk to a Navy guy and an Army guy. There's a girl here that was in the Air Force. I think Marines is the only one that we didn't hit. It was just good to interact with that military community again."

Those interactions continued even after all of the bags were packed and ready for shipping, as players and volunteers alike had the opportunity to enjoy some lunch and watch the Redskins-Bills game on a projector.
Jonathan McCoy was one of those volunteers who chose to stick around and root on the Burgundy and Gold.
"Overall, I think it's been a great experience," McCoy stated, touching on his day at the facility, which started with his reenlistment back into the U.S. Army that morning. "While I was on range, I would always look forward to care packages."
Just knowing his efforts would make an impact for others currently on assignment meant everything.
"To be a part of this -- to do this for others -- is definitely humbling," he added.

Dedications – TMcCD 031
This CD "Dedications" featuring guitarists Max Schultz and Erik Söderlind is intended as a tribute to many of the world's finest guitar players and is a perfect example of guitar duo playing where everything falls into place. On some tracks the duo are joined by Fredrik Jonsson, bass, and René Martinez, percussion.
For some time now I have been playing duo with the very talented young guitarist Erik Söderlind. When Laila Gavatin approached me with the suggestion that we make a CD in dedication to our guitar heroes, it turned out that Erik and I have many favourite names in common: Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, George Benson, Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Joe Pass to name only a few.
There are also some guitarists who have meant a great deal to me. John McLaughlin, who, with his expressive, powerful and extremely personal style, not only influenced me but also opened up many doors musically for me. He succeeded in making me discover, in addition to other jazz guitarists, Indian music and flamenco. My piece dedicated to him is inspired by his collaboration with flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia. Jimi Hendrix was the one who inspired me to begin playing the guitar in the first place. He was a brilliant improviser who influenced many people in jazz, including Miles Davis, and we play here a version of his "Drifting".
Frank Zappa, a composer who, in his own words, "happened to play the guitar", was a considerable influence on me with his original style. Here we play one of his more jazz-oriented tunes, "Blessed Relief". John Scofield, with his concentrated blues style that I like very much, receives a little gospel-type tune of mine dedicated to him.
Naturally there are other guitar players that have influenced us but this is the selection that Erik and I agreed upon. They constitute a group of fantastic musicians who have meant an enormous amount not only to us but surely to everyone who is interested in this form of music, Jazz.
MAX SCHULTZ
As regards guitar duos, in classical guitar literature there are plenty of examples to choose between, however that is mostly notated music. When looking at musicians associated with improvised music in the fields of jazz and contemporary music the numbers of guitar duos are fewer. However, guitar players usually love getting together and seeing what comes out of it but there is often a difficulty in co-ordinating the roles of each player so that one doesn't "cancel out" the other. There are many things to consider in the way of bass lines, chords, melody statements and who will lead and who will support etc. Therefore when a successful guitar duo comes upon the scene it is something to be celebrated. These two musicians have worked hard at the job of building a composite sound, matching their instruments to one another carefully and, perhaps, most important of all, deciding upon a duo repertoire that will hold the interest of the listener.
This CD "Dedications" featuring guitarists Max Schultz and Erik Söderlind is a perfect example of guitar duo playing where everything falls into place. On 6 of the 14 tracks you will also hear the sensitive bass playing of Fredrik Jonsson and on 4 tracks some astutely played percussion by René Martinez.
Intended as a tribute to many of the world's finest guitar players, some regrettably no longer with us, this is a musical journey through a guitar player's hall of fame, together with some originals written by Max and Erik in homage to some of their favourites.
THE REPERTOIRE:
The opener of this album, Mont-Saxonnex, refers to a little village in France where Erik Söderlind composed it one Christmas.
In terms of commercial success, the composer of Mimosa, George Benson, born 1943, almost stands alone as a guitarist. From his first albums in 1964 with organist Brother Jack McDuff (his second being titled "New Boss Guitar") Benson went from strength to strength adding vocals to his talents, and has to this present day made over 65 albums in the fields of jazz, funk and R & B.
The lyrics of Dedicated To You were written by the late Sammy Cahn, whose son happens to be Steve Kahn, a very successful contemporary jazz guitarist. It is a particularly beautiful ballad and receives a memorable treatment by the duo.
Road Song was written by Wes Montgomery and recorded by him only one month before his untimely death at the age of 45. The year was 1968. Bass and percussion on this track add to the warm, irresistible groove.
In 1975 John McLaughlin's India-inspired Lotus Feet was composed and recorded by the Mahavishnu Orchestra and it has a wonderful meditative quality that has made it one of McLaughlin's most enduring compositions.
One of the most successful jazz guitarists and group leaders of the 70s and 80s is Pat Metheny, capable of playing a wide range of jazz-oriented music.
For Django is the title of an album and composition by guitar giant Joe Pass from 1964 where he paid tribute to one of his heroes, Django Rheinhart.
Pat Martino, born 1944 grew up playing modern jazz guitar, often in the company of organ players, making many albums. In 1977 he suffered an illness affecting his memory and was off the scene for ten years, making a jubilant reappearance on the Muse album "The Return" in 1987.
In 1972 Frank Zappa recorded the album "The Grand Wazoo" on which his jazz waltz Blessed Relief<(b> was featured, surprising many of his fans who had not heard this kind of music coming from him.
Drifting appeared on a now quite rare album called "The Cry Of Love" featuring posthumous studio recordings by Jimi Hendrix. It is regarded as a treasure and we are therefore very fortunate to be able to hear it played by Max and Erik.
Guitarist John Abercrombie was born in 1944 and his composition Even Steven comes from the 1993 album "Solar" in which he collaborated with another famous guitarist, John Scofield. Abercrombie even played electric mandolin on that album. Between 1974 and 2007 he has recorded more than 20 albums under his own name and over 40 with others. His work with the jazz/rock band "Dreams", Billy Cobham and the Brecker Brothers brought his name to the public ear and eye.
The fore-mentioned guitarist John Scofield, to whom Max's Song for Sco is dedicated, was born a little later in 1951. He was a member of the Miles Davis group for the first half of the 80s and since his first album "East Meets West" in 1977 he has made more than 35 albums in his own name, in which he has shown his mastery of many styles encompassing bebop, fusion, soul and funk.
Mr Stoneface is a short tribute to one of Sweden's most internationally known and popular jazz guitarists, Rune Gustafsson, the title referring to Rune's everpresent expression of complete concentration as he plays his perfectly invented lines.

News Release Issued: Mar 13, 2019 (9:00am EDT)
TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: FUU
KELOWNA, BC, March 13, 2019 /CNW/ – Fission 3.0 Corp. ("Fission 3" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release on August 16, 2018, it has entered into a binding agreement (the "Earn-In Agreement") with Rhyolite Lithium Corp. ("Rhyolite"), pursuant to which Rhyolite can earn up to an 80% interest in Fission 3's mining concessions located in Peru (the "Peruvian Assets") by spending up to C$22 million over a five-year period (the "Earn-In").
Pursuant to the Earn-In Agreement, Rhyolite is required to spend a minimum of C$5.5 million prior to December 31, 2020 to earn a 50% interest in the Peruvian Assets ("Stage One"), and has the option to spend a further C$16.5 million over the following three years to earn an additional 30% interest in the Peruvian Assets ("Stage Two"). If Rhyolite does not complete Stage One, Rhyolite will earn no interest in the Peruvian Assets, and if it elects to begin, but does not complete, Stage 2, it will only be granted a portion of the additional 30% interest.
In connection with the entrance into the Earn-In Agreement, and as consideration for the Earn-In, Fission 3 was issued 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Rhyolite and was granted a right to participate, on a pro rata basis, in all future financings of Rhyolite to maintain its proportionate interest in Rhyolite.
Fission 3 will remain the operator of the Peruvian Assets until the completion of Stage One.
CEO Dev Randhawa commented,
"The Macusani area has shown strong potential for both uranium and lithium resources, as demonstrated by the recent results of operators in the nearby and surrounding area. We are pleased to partner with Rhyolite Lithium, which has strong financial backers with the equity needed to fund important work programs on the Macusani Project. We believe that by working with Rhyolite we will unlock value for Fission 3 shareholders."
About Fission 3's Macusani Project
Macusani, Peru, is an emerging uranium and lithium district in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. The area is host to multiple uranium deposits that are large scale, near-to-surface and potentially heap-leachable – giving them a strong economic case. The region also hosts several near-surface lithium occurrences associated with uranium mineralization in the Yapamayo Member formation as well as higher-grade lithium in the underlying Sapanuta Member formation.
Fission 3 holds titles to 9 concessions totaling 5,100 ha in the Macusani district. The property is surrounded by Plateau Energy Metals Inc.'s land package including the Falchani high-grade lithium discovery located less than 5km to the south. The Macusani concessions are easily accessed by a series of paved roads from the City of Puno to the town of Macusani, which connects to the Interoceanic Highway, a two-lane, paved highway that passes 14km north-east of the property.
About Fission 3.0 Corp.
Fission 3.0 Corp. is a Canadian based resource company specializing in the strategic acquisition, exploration and development of uranium properties and is headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia. Common Shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "FUU."

On September 13th of 1975, Eloise slowly formed into a tropical depression east of the Lesser Antilles. The tropical depression slowly intensified over the next few days and became the 5th tropical storm of the 1975 season early on the 16th of September. Atmospheric conditions quickly became more ideal for intensification. Eloise rapidly developed into the a hurricane late on the 16th before moving across the northern part of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
After striking the Dominican Republic, Eloise weakened into a tropical storm as it continued on a path off to the west across the Caribbean Sea through the 20th of September. Eloise began to turn and regain strength as it moved through the Yucatan channel. By the time Eloise reached the central Gulf of Mexico, it regained hurricane strength. By mid day on the 22nd, Eloise strengthened into a Category 2 hurricane and began turning toward the northeast on a path straight toward the north central Gulf Coast. The pressure continued to drop over the next 12 hours and Eloise strengthened into the 2nd major hurricane of the 1975 season by midnight on the 23rd. In fact, there was a 22mb drop in 12 hours (between 18z on the 22nd to 6z on the 23rd) as bombogenesis ensued with a 35mb drop in 24 hours. The satellite image to the right shows Hurricane Eloise the afternoon before landfall (as bombogenesis was ongoing in the cyclone).
Strengthening continued until Eloise made landfall as a major hurricane about 10 miles east of Fort Walton Beach, FL (Okaloosa County) at approximately 7am CDT on the 23rd. According to the NOAA Assessment, Herbert Saffir estimated winds in excess of 120mph based on the structural wind damage he observed in Eloise. Shortly after Eloise made landfall, a peak wind gust of 115mph was recorded at Eglin AFB (before the instrument failed) with 85mph gusts at Hurlburt Field. Eloise rapidly weakened as it pushed inland across Alabama through the day.

In general, rainfall ranged from 3-5 inches across the area with higher amounts closer to the track of Eloise. The highest rain totals occurred just east of the track of the center of the storm. It was estimated that 6-10 inches of rain fell across the northwest Florida panhandle with isolated higher amounts. The observer at Eglin AFB reported 14.9 inches of rain during Eloise. Flooding was reported all across the northwest Florida panhandle with flash flooding noted in the Pensacola, FL area. River flooding also occurred on the Yellow River near Milligan, FL. This rainfall depiction can be viewed in WPC graphic to the right.
Wind damage from Eloise was widespread across the northwest Florida panhandle and further inland across southern portions of Alabama and Georgia. There was extreme tree and crop damage all along the path of Eloise. In Alabama, the State Civil Defense estimated agricultural losses in excess of 100 million dollars. Thousands of trees were toppled and utility lines were knocked down across the area. 85-90% of the buildings between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City, FL (on the Gulf side of Highway 98) were severely damaged or destroyed. At least 150 buildings were destroyed or un-repairable, 75 motel foundations were destroyed and 400 other buildings were damaged in that area.
Storm surge was extensive along the coast with observations of storm tide (storm surge + tide) as high as 10.6 feet in Destin, FL with higher values further to the east of the track of Eloise. Eloise severely damaged several piers across the panhandle, including the destruction of the relatively newly built Okaloosa Island Pier. Beaches were destroyed and dunes were undermined. 30-70 feet of sand dune width was eroded during Eloise. Storm surge washed away structures and streets across northwest Florida as can be seen in the before and after photos below. More than 30 boats moored in Destin, FL were destroyed or sunk with some reportedly "stacked like toys" according to the NOAA Assessment.
Before and After Storm Damage Photos from the Northwest Florida Panhandle
Eloise was the first major hurricane to strike the region in 4 decades, yet did not have any fatalities directly related to the storm. However, there were 4 fatalities reported across Florida and Alabama indirectly related to Eloise. The 2 deaths in Alabama occurred after the storm from a tree falling during clean-up operations and electrocution from a downed power line.
