Makhaya Ntini OIS (born 6 July 1977) is a South African former professional cricketer, who played all forms of the game. He was the first black player to play for the South African national cricket team.

He reached second place in the ICC Test match bowling ratings and was the third South African cricketer to take 300 Test cricket wickets, after Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald. In December 2017, his son Thando Ntini was named in South Africa's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He played his last match against India in 2011.

Early recognition
Ntini was born in Mdingi, a village in Cape Province, which is near King William's Town (currently in Eastern Cape Province). He was discovered by a Border Cricket Board development officer, who was setting up a mini-cricket programme. Although Ntini was both too old and too big to participate in the programme the officer, Raymond Booi, noticed the bared-footed cowherd's enthusiasm and talent for bowling. He lent the 15-year-old Ntini a pair of plimsolls and arranged for him to participate in a net session in King William's Town. Ntini impressed Booi, who contacted Greg Hayes, the head of the development programme. The pair placed Ntini in a junior cricket festival in Queenstown and Hayes purchased Ntini his first pair of boots for the festival, but later had to give the young bowler instructions not to wear them indoor or when herding cattle.

Two years later, he was selected to tour England with the South Africa Under-19 squad and played all five of the youth internationals. England dominated both One Day Internationals (ODIs) during the tour, with the South Africans only managing to take one wicket across the two matches, which fell to Pierre Joubert. In the Test series, which England won 2–0, Ntini claimed nine wickets, the second-most by a South African bowler. His bowling was expensive, coming at a rate of 4.53 runs per over: more than any other South African with the exception of Mark Boucher, who is best known as a wicket-keeper.

Domestic career

After two matches for Border against the touring Kenyans, Ntini made his First-class cricket debut in November 1995, facing an England XI. He claimed two wickets in England's only innings as Border were beaten comprehensively.

In his debut season, Ntini claimed 17 wickets at an average of 37.05 in First-class competitions. His best performance in an innings came against Free State, when he claimed three wickets for 49 runs (3/49) during his 17 overs. He again toured with the national Under-19s in March and April 1996, touring India, where he played three youth Tests and one of the three ODIs. After claiming five wickets in the first Test and none in the second, Ntini displayed his talent in the third match, taking 6/53 in the first innings and 3/48 in the second innings.

International career

Ntini returned to the South African side for a Sharjah tournament in 2000. His improvement was clear as he bowled with greater control.

In 2003, he became the first South African to take 10 wickets at Lord's. His best performance, however, came when Ntini took 13 wickets for 132 runs against the West Indies in the Port of Spain on 12 April 2005. This remains the most wickets taken by a South African cricketer in a Test match. On 3 March 2006, Ntini also achieved the best bowling figures by a South African in an ODI, demolishing Australia with 6 wickets for 22 runs. A popular figure in South African sport, Ntini was voted their favourite sportsman in a research poll conducted by the South African Press Association. For his performances in 2006 and 2007, he was named in the World Test XI by ICC. He was also named in the World Test XI by Cricinfo.

Ntini went on to establish himself as South Africa's premier fast bowler and one of the leading fast bowlers in the world. In February 2009, he was ranked as the world's fifth-best Test bowler behind Muttiah Muralitharan, Dale Steyn, Stuart Clark and Mitchell Johnson, but had dropped to being 25th-best ODI bowler, according to the ICC rankings.

On 20 January 2007, Ntini dislodged Mohammad Sami to take his 300th Test wicket in his 74th Test. On 1 August 2008, he removed England opener Alastair Cook to claim his 350th Test wicket in his 90th Test.

Ntini played his 100th Test on 17 December 2009, becoming the only black South African cricketer to reach that mark. Sponsors Castle Lager promised every fan in attendance a free beer in celebration on the day he took his first wicket and he duly obliged on the second day when he bowled Andrew Strauss of England. However, after already having lost his place in the ODI side, he was dropped from the Test side after poor performances against England.

Ntini retired from all forms of international cricket in a T20I against India on 9 January 2011.

To date, Ntini is one of only three players to have played more than 100 Test matches without scoring a 50. Courtney Walsh and Nathan Lyon are the others.

During his career, Ntini took 22 five-wicket hauls. As of 2020, he ranks joint seventeenth among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers (joint with Allan Donald, Malcolm Marshall and Daniel Vettori), and joint second in the equivalent list for South Africa, alongside Donald and behind Dale Steyn.

Controversies

Ntini's career looked like coming to an early end in 1999 when he was charged and then convicted of rape, although he was finally acquitted.

The case caused controversy in South Africa, with his conviction generating negative publicity in view of his status as the first black South African Test cricketer. Ntini maintained his innocence, was acquitted on appeal and rebuilt his international cricket career. Ntini thanked Cricket South Africa for sticking by him.

On 17 July 2020, while on SABC 2's Morning Live, Ntini detailed the alleged racism he experienced throughout his career. He claimed other players would not sit with him during meals and said he "was forever lonely" in the Proteas team. Ntini further stated that he used to run to the stadium and back to hotels to avoid being lonely on the team bus. Ntini's comments came shortly after fellow South African cricketer Lungi Ngidi called for the national team to show support towards the Black Lives Matter movement.

Coaching career
In January 2016, Ntini was appointed as the assistant coach of the Zimbabwean national cricket team with a two-year contract. Following the sacking of the previous coach Dav Whatmore, Ntini was appointed as interim head coach for the home series against India in 2016. He resigned from the role as coach in January 2018, although Ntini was reported to have claimed that he was asked to step down by the board on the basis of alleged complaints from the players over his coaching methods.

City's Budget in Hands of Woman Who Overhauled Newark, N.J., Budget
At a June 11 press conference, the City of Jackson announced that Michelle L. Thomas is stepping in to help the City through the budget process and assist Robert Blaine, the CAO and now interim director of the Department of Administration and Finance. Photo by Michelle L. Thomas
By Ko Bragg Thursday, June 14, 2018 1:22 p.m. CDT
JACKSON — The woman who helped lead a budget turnaround in Newark, N.J., under then-Mayor Cory Booker will manage the City of Jackson's budget overhaul. Michelle L. Thomas, a financial expert with nearly 10 years of experience in both the public and private sector, will assist with day-to-day operations alongside Chief Administrative Robert Blaine, leading the City through the budget process.
Blaine is officially absorbing the duties of his recently departed colleague, Charles Hatcher, who resigned the finance post suddenly at the end of May.
Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba announced at a press conference last week that an interim director with a wealth of experience would be forthcoming. But Chief of Staff Safiya Omari told reporters on Monday that the City simply did not have the funds to hire Thomas for the position.
"We would love to have had Michelle as our interim director, but we can't afford her," Omari said.
Omari expressed excitement for bringing Thomas in, even on a temporary basis. "We're confident that she has the skills and the knowledge to move us through our budgeting period and also to address some of the other issues we're facing in the department of finance right now," she said.
Thomas began as Newark's director of innovation and performance management in 2006, and two years later, stepped into the role as interim business administrator.
Some city officials questioned Thomas' preparedness at first, as she had majored in African American studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. But after her success in the position, the Star-Ledger characterized Thomas as "the woman who steered the Newark budget through one of the worst economic crises in the city's history" in an article published after the city council unanimously confirmed her as business administrator.
Thomas cut Newark's deficit by $105 million, and she raked in $126 million in federal money for the City of Newark. She also focused on tax and fee collection.
In 2011, Thomas served as deputy mayor for operations in New Orleans under Mayor Mitchell Landrieu until she stepped down for personal reasons. Thomas made $164,000 in that role.
She then served as chief administrative officer and later interim executive director of the Louisiana Housing Corporation.
In the private sector as president of Thomas Consulting Group, she managed special projects for the Orleans Parish School Board, developed a five-year strategic financial plan for Hinds County and also for the Finance Authority of New Orleans, her LinkedIn page says.
Lumumba was out on vacation during this announcement, but the City provided a statement from him. "Ms. Thomas brings a wealth of knowledge and financial experience working with municipalities across the nation," the statement reads. "We are confident that she will continue to move our city forward in the interim."

Q: Is it right to look at this query as the count of elements in an intersection? A bit new to SQL and I have a Postgresql query and it's my understanding in Postgres 9.x that JOIN by default is INNER JOIN:
select count(*)
from physical_promotions
JOIN subscriptions ON physical_promotions.product_id = subscriptions.id
JOIN users on subscriptions.user_id = users.id
JOIN referrals ON referrals.referred_user_id = users.id
where physical_promotions.coupon_id = '55';

Is the right way to interpret this as the count of all physical promotions with a coupon_id of 55 intersected with a corresponding subscription intersected with a corresponding referral intersected with a corresponding user?
EDIT:
Also, I'm trying to count the number of physical_promotions  - so is that the right way to go about it?
Here is my new query:
select count(distinct physical_promotions.id)
    from physical_promotions
    JOIN subscriptions ON physical_promotions.product_id = subscriptions.id
    JOIN users on subscriptions.user_id = users.id
    JOIN referrals ON referrals.referred_user_id = users.id
    where physical_promotions.coupon_id = '55';

A: Yes, in fact, you may also write the same thing as follows:
SELECT count(*)
FROM physical_promotions,
    subscriptions,
    users,
    referrals
WHERE physical_promotions.product_id = subscriptions.id
    AND subscriptions.user_id = users.id
    AND referrals.referred_user_id = users.id
    AND physical_promotions.coupon_id = 55

For clarity I would probably recommend explicitly specifying the JOIN type.
Also note that you may not necessarily get a count of unique promotions. For example, if there are 2 subscriptions for one promotion, your results will include that promotion (and user and referral) twice.

Grades: San Antonio Spurs vs. Utah Jazz – Game #68
Derrick White led the Spurs over the Jazz (Photo via Twitter)
After losing two consecutive games, the San Antonio Spurs got back on the winning track with a 119-111 victory over the Utah Jazz. The Spurs were facing a must-win situation and the victory keeps their playoff hopes alive.
While San Antonio got the win, it has to be noted that the Jazz basically gifted the victory to the Spurs. Utah sat four starters (including All-Stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert), didn't play Joe Ingles in the second half and went with the very end of their bench in the fourth quarter.
Even with the Jazz not showing any interest in winning the game, the Spurs didn't exactly dominate. They were able to build double-digit advantages from time to time but could never sustain their success. Thankfully, they were able to do just enough to avoid an embarrassing loss.
Spurs vs. Jazz – Final Grades
In each of the previous games during the restart, DeRozan was able to eventually find a rhythm. That never happened against the Jazz. He was sloppy on offense, took questionable shots and missed a few open passes. Defensively, DeRozan was better than usual. His effort level was commendable, particularly in transition.
White emerged from the gates firing and kept his finger on the trigger throughout. I loved his aggression from three-point range. He also drove with purpose and passed it well. Defensively, he was engaged and played a rugged style that made life difficult for Utah. White had a few intermittent possessions where he was too passive but otherwise played very well.
Better. After some rough moments as of late, Murray improved against the Jazz. His passing, specifically, looked a lot better. His play in pick-and-roll play was impressive and he was a few more makeable buckets away from having a really solid offensive showing. Defensively, he was active and used his length well, although he had a few slow closeouts.
Another player who bounced back after recent rough patches was Walker. His statistics don't look overly impressive but his effort level was much improved. Defensively, he scratched, clawed and then hit the boards. Offensively, he kept his foot on the gas. It wasn't always pretty but it was a lot better than the sleepwalking we had recently seen out of him.
While Poeltl's finishes at the rim could have been stronger, his rolling to the basket was much improved and he wasn't hesitating when the ball reached his hands. The short-handed Jazz weren't cohesive enough when the Spurs moved the ball, which oftentimes ended up in an easy layup for Poeltl. Rebounding-wise and defense-wise, he was more aggressive and, thus, more productive.
Keldon Johnson
This was one of the few games in the bubble that Johnson looked like a rookie. He was discombobulated offensively and was second-guessing himself in the middle of plays. Johnson never did find his footing on that end of the court. Defensively, he was equally as wild but his activity made things happen, as evidenced by his three steals and a block.
Gay is scoring as well as he has all season. His shot looks great and he's back to being able to exploit mismatches. Additionally, against the Jazz, he was the author of a handful of San Antonio's best passes. Defensively, this was his best game of the restart. He was active on the perimeter, pounded the boards and used his veteran guile to his advantage.
Belinelli was back in action following a sprained foot and he took Patty Mills' spot in the rotation. He played decently well, overall. Defensively, he was a liability but not much more so than usual. Offensively, he moved well, knocked down a couple threes and kept the Jazz on their toes.
Drew Eubanks
This was a tale of two halves for Eubanks. He was really good in the first half, especially on offense. He took his time and finished whenever given a chance. Eubanks looks to be comfortable with either hand, which gives him a high ceiling as a finisher near the rim. (Pop actually ran a post-up play for him out of a timeout, which is notable.) He was also really good on defense in the first half. The second half, though, was a different story. His timing on offense couldn't have been worse and he was constantly in the wrong spot on defense.
Quinndary Weatherspoon
There were some good signs from Weatherspoon. On offense, he can use his strong body to get to the rim and he looks like a capable pick-and-roll facilitator. Defensively, he tries hard and isn't afraid to mix it up. The downsides: Weatherspoon's ball-handling was suspect at times, his outside shot looked creaky and it's still questionable whether he's athletic enough for the NBA.
It's difficult to have a beef with Pop when he started White, Murray and Walker and played all three of them more than 30 minutes. He also gave Johnson a good run despite his uneven play. Giving Weatherspoon minutes instead of Mills is good for developmental purposes. While the Spurs should have won this game more easily than they did, at least Pop didn't panic and start relying too much on veterans to get the win.

The nooks and crannies of Fairmount Park will soon be documented in the same detail as the Street View tab on Google Maps. The tech giant has lent the city one of its Street View Trekker backpacks, a 50-pound, 15-lens camera system that looks like a robotic lollipop and will take a constant stream of panoramic snapshots as hikers collect information on 200 miles of trails.
Close-ups of the historical houses and public art pieces within the park will also be included in the undertaking, organized by Fairmount Park Conservancy and Parks and Recreation.
The city is expected to launch the new footage publicly in 2017.

His book project Telling Matters: Narratives of Environmental Entanglements in Modern Italy sketches an alternative aesthetic and topographic map of this country by investigating together a number of imaginative landscapes and physical terrains where the places, the human bodies, and the substances that have marked Italy's path towards modernity come to "meet" and interact. Mostly heeding an eco-materialist conceptual framework, he explores the narrative eloquence and agency of (some of) the organic and inorganic substances (i.e. sulfur, concrete, steel, asbestos, marble, petroleum) that, in their interaction with human beings' own selves, corporality, agency and stories, have contributed to make (but, simultaneously, also "un-make") the so-called Belpaese.

CHRIS GRATIEN
Chris Gratien is currently working on a monograph provisionally titled The Mountains Are Ours: the environmental history of a late Ottoman frontier, which explores a century of ecological change in the Cilicia region of the Eastern Mediterranean between the 1850s and 1950s. His broader work examines issues in the social and environmental history of the modern Middle East. He is also producer and co-creator of Ottoman History Podcast, which since 2011 has published interviews with over 300 scholars and researchers about the history of the Ottoman Empire, the modern Middle East, and beyond.
JAMES IGOE
Professor, Anthropology
Professor Jim Igoe is a faculty member in the Anthropology Department. He is the author of two books: Conservation and Globalization (2004) and The Nature of Spectacle (2017), both of which draw from his work with communities in northern Tanzania and the western United States. The first engages ways in which Western ideals of pristine of wilderness have been imposed on landscapes and indigenous communities around the world, and the resulting displacements and ecological paradoxes. The second outlines ways in which the processes have become intertwined with a powerful vision of Nature in which economic growth and ecosystem health appear as mutually necessitating processes. Jim Igoe also appears in the film A Place without People (2009), a critical history of Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. He is a co-convener of the UVA African Urbanism Humanities Lab and a faculty fellow of the UVA Mellon Indigenous Arts Program. His courses include Introduction to Anthropology, Imagining Africa, The Nature of Nature, History and Theory of Anthropology, and Indigenous Landscapes.

DEBORAH LAWRENCE
Professor of Environmental Sciences
Deborah Lawrence, a biogeochemist and Professor of Environmental Sciences, studies the effects of tropical deforestation on carbon and nutrient cycling and climate. She leads a research program on Food, Fuels and Forests, working with partners in environmental science and geography, ethics, psychology, and anthropology, engineering, economics and law to understand the drivers and consequences of land use change. She is trying to understand how forest cover affects climate locally, regionally and globally—focusing on both carbon emissions and changes to the exchange of water and energy. Recently, she spent a year as a fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies in Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, conducting research on the human dimensions of climate mitigation, particularly how people perceive, think, and feel, and how that translates into caring, commitment and action. Prof. Lawrence believes we need to better understand people to successfully address climate change.
CHARLOTTE ROGERS
Assistant Professor of Spanish
Charlotte Rogers is Assistant Professor of Spanish. Her research examines representations of the tropics in contemporary Latin American literature and culture through an ecocritical lens. She is the author of two comparative literary monographs, Jungle Fever: Exploring Madness and Medicine in Twentieth-Century Tropical Narratives (Vanderbilt University Press, 2012) and Mourning El Dorado: Literature and Extractivism in the American Tropics (University of Virginia Press, forthcoming in 2019). As part of the Coastal Futures Conservatory, she is working on a research project provisionally titled "Creative Resistance: The Power of the Arts in the Aftermath of Caribbean Hurricanes." The project focuses on how artistic endeavors respond to tropical storm devastation and how they can galvanize communities to address the ecological, social, political, and economic conditions hurricanes lay bare. "Creative Resistance" aims to reveal the essential role of the arts in the planet's environmental futures.

Permission for operating scheduled and nonscheduled air transport services, up to the limit of 49% of their paid-up capital.
However, it would be made under the Government approval route and the 49% limit will subsume FDI and FII investment.
The investments so made would need to comply with the relevant regulations of SEBI, such as the Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements (ICDR) Regulations/ Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers (SAST) Regulations, as well as other applicable rules and regulations.
Foreign airlines are also, henceforth, allowed to invest, in the capital of Indian companies, operating scheduled and non-scheduled air transport services, up to the limit of 49% of their paid-up capital. Such investment would be subject to conditions.

Save The Teachers
Our graduates go on to touch the lives of many others through strong content knowledge and something more closely related to the St. Edward's mission of social justice. Angie Lux ('12) embodied the spirit of our program through her work as a Biology teacher at Del Valle High School. Lux noted "I love teaching science, but it's not just about the subject. It's about who you're teaching and how you build relationships".
Within our program, students may choose one of two paths to becoming a professional educator. For those interested in the role of classroom teacher, our Minor in Teacher Education is the ticket. For others who may wish to work within a related field, we offer a Minor in Education Studies. Both minors include over 100 hours of internships and related field-work at public, private, and parochial schools and other education sites across the region. At the same time, our university coursework is grounded in contemporary teaching strategy that provides an example for student-centered, inquiry-driven instruction. Faculty in the program provide essential structure, feedback and guidance as students begin to make meaning and acquire skills and knowledge around the craft of teaching and learning.

"Something's wrong with the Slider in Xamarin.Forms…", I heard somebody say. "…changing the min and max value does not correctly update the position of the knob on Android", they continued. A bug in Xamarin.Forms? Who knows? It was enough to get me interested, so I started digging and indeed, there is a problem. So let's fix it, shall we?
While this is working just fine as long as we set the min and max values before using the slider, dynamically updating them won't reposition the indicator correctly. If you're asking now, why the heck this would matter, think of a UI where there is one slider that controls a value and another slider that controls the possible range of values. The second slider would dynamically update the min and max properties (which are by the way even data bindable). It works great on iOS where the native UISlider has got direct support for minimum and maximum values but on Android it's a different story – or should I say: an oversight?
The only thing Xamarin.Android exposes is a "Max" property. It seems like binding the native "setMin()" method to a "Min" property was forgotten.
Xamarin.Forms SliderRenderer is using hardcoded values of 0 (for minimum – what else, it cannot set it! 🤔) and 1000 (for maximum) and the requested range is mapped to the range of 0..1000 when getting or setting the current value.
Android in general doesn't seem to correctly update the indicator position when dynamically changing the min or max value – at least that's what I found during my researches.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough until 9 or so inches in diameter. Gently place the dough into the pie plate and crimp edges. Place in fridge for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, place the cooled filling into the prepared pie plate. Roll out the other disk of dough and cut into ½- inch to 1- inch strips. Place strips horizontally onto the pie. Start placing strips one-by-one vertically, lifting every other strip to create a lattice pattern. Brush 1 slightly beaten egg gently onto exposed piecrust. Place the pie onto a cookie sheet and place in oven for 25 minutes. Rotate and let bake for another 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Post-Crisis Communication: The Case of Polio and Vaccines
* WHY WE SHOULD WORRY: IMPACTS OF A CONFIDENCE CRISIS
* LEARNING FROM PAST INCIDENTS: POLIO
* ACTING IN THE AFTERMATH: LEGAL/PUNITIVE MEASURES
* LONGER-TERM RESPONSE STRATEGIES
* PLEASE WEIGH IN: CI SURVEY
Beginning on April 22 2019, an unfolding communication crisis in polio-endemic Pakistan threatened to impede progress on the quest for global polio eradication. The situation started when false and fabricated videos went viral on social media claiming that the polio drop made children sick. The public response that followed has led to an unprecedented increase of vaccination refusal. Looking outside of Pakistan and that particular crisis for experiences and lessons learned, this Drum Beat focuses on recovering from large-scale events involving misinformation, rumours, refusal, and adverse events following immunisation (AEFIs).

WHY WE SHOULD WORRY: IMPACTS OF A CONFIDENCE CRISIS
1.The Impact of Rare but Severe Vaccine Adverse Events on Behaviour-Disease Dynamics: A Network Model
by Samit Bhattacharyya, Amit Vutha, and Chris T. Bauch
Vaccine decision-making is influenced by a range of factors, including perceived risk of either vaccines or the infections they prevent. Information about adverse events associated with immunisation is often passed from one individual to another through their network of social contacts. Online social media and mass media can serve to disseminate perceptions of vaccine risks to the point that vaccine refusal can significantly impact vaccine coverage and herd immunity. This article develops a social network model of the coupled dynamics of infection spread, vaccinating behaviour, and individual risk perception due to adverse events, either from vaccination or infection. The objective was to study how information (whether true or false) that spreads through social networks can influence vaccinating behaviour. [May 2019]
2.Measles, Moral Regulation and the Social Construction of Risk: Media Narratives of "Anti-Vaxxers" and the 2015 Disneyland Outbreak
by Gabriela Capurro, Josh Greenberg, Eve Dubé, and Michelle Driedger
This paper examines media coverage of the 2014-15 measles outbreak that began at the United States (US) amusement park Disneyland and spread throughout that country into Canada and Mexico. The researchers draw on classical treatments of "moral panics" as "volatile moments characterized by heightened concern….Media discourses stereotype and misidentify deviance,…produc[ing] harmful representations that stigmatize certain groups." The argument made here is that, although parents who hold strong anti-vaccine views are small in number, media representations of so-called "anti-vaxxers" as prominent figures fail to capture the broad range of views and behaviours that constitute vaccine hesitancy and may have long-term negative consequences. [Apr 2018]
3.HPV Vaccine Confidence and Cases of Mass Psychogenic Illness Following Immunization in Carmen de Bolivar, Colombia
by Clarissa Simas, Nubia Munoz, Leonardo Arregoces, and Heidi J. Larson
This paper examines the factors contributing to adverse events following human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in a school-based programme introduced in August 2012 in Carmen del Bolivar, Colombia. It discusses the role the media may have played in influencing, and amplifying, the pattern of these adverse reactions, which the authors argue were consistent with mass psychogenic illness (MPI). They discuss the role of health authorities and the government, urging that these personnel need to respond to MPI promptly and appropriately. [Sep 2018]

4."This Is a Pakhtun Disease": Pakhtun Health Journalists' Perceptions of the Barriers and Facilitators to Polio Vaccine Acceptance Among the High-Risk Pakhtun Community in Pakistan
by Sayyed Fawad Ali Shah, Tamar Ginossar, and David Weiss
In Pakistan, there are still pockets of communities, mostly ethnic Pakhtun living in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, that resist oral polio vaccine (OPV). In March 2018, for example, both national and local media outlets reported an unsubstantiated news story that 3 children had died after receiving OPV – leading the number of polio vaccine refusal cases to double in April 2018. Considering that local journalists may be important sources of health information, this study examined Pakhtun health journalists' beliefs regarding OPV and their views on the barriers and facilitators that influence OPV acceptance or hesitancy in their communities. The findings point to ways to improve OPV advocacy and prevent communication crises, including through media coverage. [May 2019]
5.2018 Nigeria Polio Eradication Emergency Plan
Nigeria's National Primary Health Care Development Agency explains that there was a surge in resistance to vaccination in the fourth quarter of 2017 following rumours that linked a monkey pox outbreak to vaccination. Several high-risk states were affected negatively. A study was conducted to assess the impact of the rumours, after which some strategies were proposed – e.g., disseminate a single set of messages through the same channels as those used by the rumour-mongers, and do not raise the rumour-mongers' profile by identifying and denouncing them.

6.100 Days of the Polio Outbreak Response: Special Report on Papua New Guinea
To mark the 100 days since the Government of Papua New Guinea launched the Emergency Response to the Polio Outbreak, the National Department of Health released this report on the key accomplishments and highlights from the response operations. Rumours and misconceptions were managed either through an influential person/group, dialogue with church groups, and/or getting media support. Looking ahead, the risk communication and social mobilisation approaches will transition into strategic communication strategies designed to sustain people's and media interest on polio, promote long-term behaviour changes, and increase uptake of routine immunisation.

7.Polio Outbreak Ukraine Report 2015-2016: Unique Challenges, Comprehensive Response
From the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Ukraine Country Office, this report provides documentation and analysis of the communication response to the summer 2015 outbreak of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) in Western Ukraine. Beginning with a measles outbreak in 2008 in which the death of a teenager was wrongly linked to receiving a vaccine, routine immunisation coverage rates, including polio, plummeted. UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Ukraine Ministry of Health (MOH) were battling public mistrust of vaccines, misconceptions among health care providers, vaccine shortages, and a restrictive legislative and regulatory environment. As the 2015 campaign moved forward, systematic response to mistrust included collaborative efforts launched directly with media producers to ensure the media mix was diversified and made more aggressive. A wider array of trusted local, national, and international health care experts delivered this more agg! ressive messaging.

8.Mandatory Infant & Childhood Immunization: Rationales, Issues and Knowledge Gaps
by Noni E. MacDonald, Shawn Harmon, Eve Dubé, Audrey Steenbeek, Natasha Crowcroft, Douglas J. Opel, David Faour, Julie Leask, and Robb Butler
This article presents an overview of mandatory immunisation, providing examples in one low- and two high-income countries to illustrate variations, summarise limited outcome data related to mandatory immunisation, and suggest key elements to consider when contemplating mandatory infant and/or child immunisation. Among other issues, the authors examine evidence of unintended consequences. For example, in Serbia, the government responded to the decline in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) immunisation and the 2014/2015 outbreak of measles with substantial tightening of mandatory immunisation and harsher penalties. As they had not addressed the problem with the families and the general public, the response to the tightened law heightened anti-vaccine sentiments and enhanced attention to negative vaccination messages in the media. Now, the vaccine uptake problem is compounded by low confidence in the programme, which may have been further undermined by the new harsher penalties.! [Aug 2018]
9.Outbreak of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in Muslim Majority Countries
by Ali Ahmed, Kah S. Lee, Allah Bukhsh, Yaser M. Al-Worafi, Md. Moklesur R. Sarker, Long C. Ming, and Tahir M. Khan
The increase in Muslim parents' refusal and hesitancy to accept childhood vaccination has been identified as one of the contributing factors to the increase of vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) cases in countries such as Afghanistan, Malaysia, and Pakistan. The authors are concerned about what they call inaccurate and irresponsible information being spread by the anti-vaccination movement, such as claims that have gone viral on social media that the vaccine is a plot to weaken Muslims. Authorities in some countries have resorted to imposing strict punishments on parents who refuse to allow their children to be vaccinated. However, the authors stress that "mandatory vaccination and punishment are ineffective in encouraging parents to vaccinate their children without extensive public education." [Oct 2017]

10.Exploring Pathways for Building Trust in Vaccination and Strengthening Health System Resilience
by Sachiko Ozawa, Ligia Paina, and Mary Qiu
This paper reflects on how disruptions to immunisation systems can affect trust in vaccination and can compromise vaccine utilisation. It then explores key pathways for overcoming system vulnerabilities in order to restore trust, strengthen the resilience of health systems and communities, and promote vaccine utilisation. Having identified multiple routes through which trust in vaccination can be gained or lost and highlighting key vulnerabilities within health systems and communication channels, the authors identify key areas to build resilience.

11.The Importance of the Patient Voice in Vaccination and Vaccine Safety – Are We Listening?
by D. Holt, F. Bouder, C. Elemuwa, G. Gaedicke, A. Khamesipour, B. Kisler, S. Kochhar, R. Kutalek, W. Maurer, P. Obermeier, L. Seeber, B. Trusko, S. Gould, and B. Rath
This paper reflects on the paradigm shift towards increasing attention to the patient voice in vaccination and vaccine safety and looks at how listening to the patient voice is key in any risk communication strategy. This shift reflects the reality that (most) patients are not experts in the field of vaccines or risk assessments. As a result, communication needs to be clear and concise, without complicated jargon and allowing questions and seeking feedback regularly. Two case studies illustrate lessons that can be learned from challenging situations: OPV refusals in Nigeria, and the measles vaccination campaign following Ebola outbreaks in Liberia. [Dec 2016]
12.New Framework Model for Communication
This communication planning model addresses the main research questions presented by the TELL ME (Transparent communication in Epidemics: Learning Lessons from experience, delivering effective Messages, providing Evidence) project. In contrast to top-down models that convey the notion that information flow is unilateral, this model "sees the public not as another stakeholder but rather as a partner, not to be patronized but engaged….A successful public health campaign must take into an account that in the current reality, the 'health blogger' or the 'concerned mother' are sometimes as important as the healthcare official….The contribution of this model is that it can be adapted to many specific risk situations through simulations in which the ideas can be developed into concrete plans."
13.Communication is key to quashing suspicion around vaccination drives
by Wilmot James
"…The barrier that rumour-mongering presents to vaccine delivery logistics is so serious that the world's premier pandemic preparedness assessment body, the …Joint External Evaluation, or JEE Alliance…ranks 'dynamic listening and rumour-management' as one of the most important risks governments must get under control. The JEE assessment document talks about health risk communication as 'real-time exchange of information, advice and opinion between experts and officials or people who face a threat or hazard' and providing citizens with the hard facts….Effective public messaging requires taking into account community-specific social, religious, cultural, political and economic needs. Effective engagement with communities means building resilience and holding exercises and simulations with citizens. Dynamic listening and effective rumour management are about the continual monitoring of all social media platforms during a crisis so there is an early understanding of! what affected communities need."

Robert F. Kennedy killer Sirhan Sirhan could go free
History will show you that 1968 was a very tense year.
From race riots, war protests and two assassinations there was no doubt the country was headed in a new direction. Of course at the time, that direction was filled with a number of uncertainties.
It all seemed to come to a head in June of '68 when presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed by Sirhan Sirhan in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles right after winning the California and South Dakota primaries.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated just two moths earlier by James Earl Ray — a native of Alton, Illinois. Kennedy's brother, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated less than five years prior in Dallas — allegedly by Lee Harvey Oswald.
But here we are 53 years later, and after numerous attempts to get parole granted in years past, Sirhan just may be released from prison.
According to a report from the Associated Press, Sirhan has tried 15 times, but failed, to get parole granted previously. However, the district attorney's office doesn't plan to send anyone to the hearing, and a new defense attorney plans to argue that Sirhan be considered for parole based on who he is now as opposed to who he was in 1968.
It's unknown if members of the Kennedy Family will be in attendance.


I went away to Center Parcs this weekend. It was hot, then wet, then hot again. There was a lot of walking, swimming and trying to find hot spots to access Wi-Fi or 3G. These Milkshake products made my trip just that little bit more exciting! I always find going away, whether it is outside of the UK or inside the UK, extremely difficult on my hair! I love to go swimming and chlorine is usually the culprit to dry and flat hair. I also can never be bothered to go and purchase luxury mini products (I usually just visit 'Boots' or 'Superdrug' and raid their 3 for 2 offers on holiday mini essentials!). However, last week I received a very lovely package from Milkshake with some of their brand new mini products for me to take on my travels. If anyone has ever been to Center Parcs (Longleat), then you will know how adventurous the swimming pool is! I feel like a big kid whenever I go there. I used these products after swimming each day. I would never advise you to wash your hair every day because it can be difficult to maintain and it can damage the hair. However, when you are away and chlorine is putting your hair into a worse condition then yes, I give you permission! There is never tons of product in the mini's, but there is enough to last you between 3-7 days (Depending on how long/short or thick/thin your hair is).
Once I rinsed the intensive treatment out I applied a small amount of shampoo to my hair and lathered it up! I then rinsed and repeated. My hair had only been coloured a week ago and I have found most shampoos have been drawing my colour out a lot! I didn't find my colour being drawn out with Milkshake's shampoo and conditioner, and this is because they are made with Organic Muru Muru Butter and are sulfate and salt-free!
Now, you may not think that you would need a conditioner AND an intensive treatment? You are wrong. Your hair can never get enough moisture. I find using both makes my hair feel that little bit softer and silkier. Obviously, if you like your hair to have a more 'rustic' texture then I may not use both, maybe just the conditioner. I feel a conditioner locks in the cleanliness and softness that you have just achieved with the treatment and shampoo. It is like the icing on the cake. Just finishes it off nicely! I always apply conditioner just on the ends of the hair and brush through. You do not want to apply too much as this conditioner goes a long way! It is also tinted light brown/dark blonde, which is reassuring!
Once you have towel dried your hair you need some sort of product to volumize your hair if you're going out for a meal in the evening or out for drinks? This is fantastic! Most people assume hair mousse/foam is for crinkling your hair to create a dry look, however, I love using this leave in foam for blow-drying my hair to hold the volume achieved from the round brush. I feel it holds the shape you mold the hair into as well! Squirt a golf ball sized amount into your hair, rub your hands together and work through the hair with it flipped forward. This will make it easier to add an 'upwards' effect and for you to evenly distribute through the whole head of hair. Then you can blow dry!
I went away with family and friends over the weekend and have converted them all into purchasing these products. I personally would say that these 4 are fantastic for holidays and trips away. You would be silly not to buy them. Click here to be directed to Milkshakes Website to purchase these and more of their lovely items!

Workers' Comp. 101: What is an IME?
One of the many confusing terms used in Workers' Compensation, " IME" stands for Independent Medical Evaluation or Independent Medical Examination. In theory, the examination is supposed to be used to help clarify your medical condition and whether your injury was caused by your work activity. It is used to provide a diagnosis, the treatment recommended, whether you require work restrictions, whether you can work at all and how much disability you have as a result of the injury.
In practice, however, the IME is most often a tool used by the Workers' Compensation Insurance Company to limit their liability. In other words, the Insurance Company has a "Master List" of doctors that they hire to perform the IME. They have used these doctors hundreds and hundreds of times. The doctors know what is expected of them and it is not to write reports that are sympathetic to your Work Comp case.
The Insurance Companies pay for reports that are favorable to them. The doctors are well aware of the fact that if they fail to provide the Insurance Company a favorable report, they will not be sent future business. It is that simple. And make no mistake about it, the IME is very expensive. The doctors receive typically $1500-$5,000 to say they examined you and to write the report for the Insurance Company. If they are then asked to testify against you, they receive often triple this amount. When you multiply it out by hundreds of Workers' Comp cases per year, it is easy to see why the doctors enjoy this lucrative piece of business. Most of these doctors make more from performing IME's than they do in the rest of their practice. They will not disappoint the hand that feeds them.
With this in mind, it is very important that you remember first and foremost that the IME doctor is "not your friend". He is not concerned about your well- being. It is not uncommon for the IME doctor to act as a "claims investigator", trying to dig up any information he can to further taint your claim and thereby help the Insurance Company. Thus, I always advise my clients to say as little as possible to the IME doctor, do not volunteer any information. He doesn't need to know about your hobbies, your personal life, and your vacation plans etc.
As a side note, I advise my clients to watch everything they do the day of the IME. Because the Insurance Company knows you will be arriving at a certain place, at a certain time, they LOVE to send their private investigators to the doctor's parking lot to put surveillance on you, or in other words to film you. What they want to find is that you told the doctor something that was contradictory to what their investigator discovered. For example, if you tell the doctor you can't stand or bend without severe back pain, or you can't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, don't let the Private Investigator film you dancing in a bar or loading your trunk with cases of beer 20 minutes after the IME.
Back to the IME. It is important to beware of certain tricks the IME doctor will use to trip you up. One such test is referred to as "Waddell's tests". This means the doctor will perform certain "tests" on you, and will ask whether it hurts, when he knows it is impossible for it to hurt given the type of injury you had. For example, when a worker has a herniated disc in the low back, he will experience numbness, tingling and pain into the buttocks, the legs or the feet depending on which level the disc is herniated. The doctor will ask you if you feel symptoms in an area that lies outside of the distribution where the nerves from the spine lead down. If you respond that you have symptoms in the "wrong" place, he will conclude in his report that you "failed" the Waddell's tests. In other words, the IME doctor will "trick you" into saying it hurts. He then will conclude in his report that you were either exaggerating your problems or even "malingering". So my advice, never exaggerate your symptoms. You will not be able to "fool" the doctor.
Despite the fact that the IME doctor works for the Insurance Company, you have no choice. You must go, and you must be courteous and polite. Do not under any circumstances call him names, make derogatory remarks, accuse him of being biased, or act uncooperatively. These are deadly things to your case and will hurt you. The doctor will certainly write in his report anything that paints you in a negative light. This will be read by the Judge and Judge's look on that very unfavorably. So, as much as you might like to express your thoughts to the IME doctor, be courteous and polite no matter what.
After the IME, the Insurance Company will receive the report from the doctor. You do have a right to it. Do not be afraid to request it. Remember, it will be biased. It might contain errors. What can you do if it is inaccurate or biased? Can you "explain" it to the Judge in your case? As much as you might think you can convince a Work Comp Judge that the Work Comp IME doctor was biased or wrong, you simply cannot do it on your own, without your own doctor's report. This involves hiring a lawyer. Your personal family doctor cannot write the report for you. It requires legal terms that are specific to Worker's Comp.
A lawyer who specializes in Workers Compensation should send you to a doctor who will thoroughly examine you, review your records and take the time to listen to you. We choose doctors who are not "in the pocket" of the Insurance Company. They will review the "Work Comp IME" report and set the record straight. We choose doctors who will not try to trick you, who will write multi-page reports, accurately setting forth your entire medical history, treatment, diagnosis, and symptoms. These reports are our ammunition against the Workers Comp IME. We then have the doctor testify for you explaining to the Judge why the Work Comp IME is inaccurate and biased. With this in mind, it is extremely important to hire an Attorney who specializes in Workers Compensation. Not only do we know the right doctors to send you to, but we see the same Work Comp IME doctors over and over, we know their backgrounds, we know their weaknesses, we know how to discredit them. A good Work Comp Lawyer can "undo" the damage done by the IME.
With all of this in mind, good luck with your IME.
