Ginsberg A, Stahl Z, Leventhal A. Omega-3 fatty acids: the science and the beliefs. Harefuah. 2009 Feb;148(2):114-20, 138.
The importance of Omega-3 fatty acids intake from dietary supplements or from food sources (mainly fish) has recently become "common knowledge" in the mass media as well as in popular science magazines and advertisements.
Therefore, the authors wish to review the updated evidence-based literature regarding the relationship between Omega-3 fatty acid intake and morbidity and its preventative effects in cardiovascular, bone, kidney autoimmune, GI tract diseases, CNS and mental diseases, cancer, diabetes, asthma, ophthalmological health, organ transplants and child and maternal health.
Recommendations regarding optimal intake of these fatty acids throughout the lifecycle by various health authorities are cited.
The conclusion presents the authors' recommendations for optimal Omega-3 intake in Israel: Recommendations for the general population is to consume at least two weekly portions of fatty fish.
For patients with hypertriglyceridemia, dietary supplements containing fish oil, in addition to the above diet, can be considered to be part of the complete medical treatment and follow-up. Limiting fish consumption in risk group populations, such as pregnant women, will also be considered.

Home / Retail Omni-Channel / The virus that stole Christmas? Omni-channel retail faces its toughest stress test as Black Friday kicks off the COVID Holidays season
November 23, 2020/ RR / Retail Omni-Channel
Black Friday looms and with it comes the biggest test for retail in an already overwhelmingly turbulent year. Are major omni-channel retailers ready to cope with the COVID Holidays?
The retail sector takes on its biggest stress test in an already all-too-stressful year this week as Black Friday kicks off the all-important Holidays season. This will, as the hideously overused cliche goes, be an 'unprecedented' occasion this year, with bricks-and-mortar stores operating under strict COVID-19 precautions and the wider shift to online potentially putting enormous pressure on the supply-chain.
While Black Friday has seen bargain hunting move increasingly online for a number of years, clearly the shadow of the pandemic is likely to fuel an even sharper uptick in 2020. That said, while it might be hoped that the annual scenes of fights breaking out in US stores as customers batter their way to the front of the line to secure a cut-price TV set would be absent this year, it's unlikely that social distancing measures will survive the venal temptations of 60%+ price reductions.
So what are retailers doing to prepare themselves to make the best of what should be the most wonderful time of the year? It's going to be different, but people are still going to want retail therapy as part of their festivities, is the consensus view from a number of leading retailers. As Doug McMillion, CEO of Walmart, puts it:
At Target, CEO Brian Cornell expresses similar seasonal sentiments:
While many things will be different this year, our guests have told us that they still want to celebrate the Holidays and we know they'll be looking to Target for some holiday magic…We've spent a lot of time talking to guests throughout the year and as it pertains to the Holidays, they're clearly telling us that they want to celebrate this Holidays season, but they know it's going to be very different. [There will be] smaller gatherings [and] those trips that we used to take will be postponed, but we certainly expect that the guests that we serve are going to look for ways to find that a little bit of joy during the Holidays season.
He adds:
All indications as we've talked to the consumers and talked with the guests is they're going to look to celebrate the Holidays season, they're going to be focused on gifting and celebrating with their family and close friends and we expect them to be in our stores and shopping online right till the very end of the Holidays season…So, we expect this to be a season that's going to be very different, unlike any other we've ever seen, but we expect that guests will decorate their home and there'll be gifts under the tree and they'll find special ways to celebrate the Holidays season.
Doing things differently
But there is going to be a need for retailers to behave differently, says Kohl's CEO Michelle Gass:
Kohl's has always been known as a holiday destination and this year will be no different, despite COVID altering all aspects of customer expectations…We're ready to adapt as needed as the customer adapts…We're still in a pandemic and there's a lot of uncertainty ahead, but the customer response so far has been positive. We're pleased with the early results. We made a lot of adjustments to adapt to what we knew was going to require changes, given the pandemic, really hitting all elements of the Holidays season from timing, product, value and experience. From a timing standpoint, we have put more emphasis on the early part of the season. We kicked off with great energy an early Black Friday campaign.
This 'early response' is a common action point from retailers this year. While it's traditional to complain that Christmas seems to come earlier every year, this year it's absolutely true. The emphasis is on trying to spread the load when it comes to demand generation, both offline and online, according to the thesis pitched by Macy's CEO Jeff Gennette:
As a retailer, our responsibility is to elongate Holidays demand if we can. So in the month of October, you saw what [we] did to try and start that early. We did that by basically bringing up the Friends and Family events into the third week of October. You can see what we're doing now with the Black Friday specials, kind of prying those off of the Black Friday event and bringing that earlier into the month of November.
We're trying to see how the customer responds to it. So far, they're biting and liking what we're doing on that. We made the decision to close on Thanksgiving Day and we're definitely expecting that we're going to bring down the traffic in brick-and-mortar on Black Friday itself and getting that demand earlier. But also if the customer decides to shop in the last 10 days or during Cyber Monday or we're going to be ready for that. So you can see what we've done with our events. If you look at our calendar, we're just elongating the demand, as are our competitors.
Target has also taken similar actions on this front, confirms Cornell:
As we've looked at the Holidays season, we expected the guests to start shopping earlier, but continue to shop throughout the Holidays season right up to Christmas Eve. So, we think it's going to be a prolonged shopping season. I think we're going to see very different shopping patterns. We don't expect to see those big spikes during Black Friday and all weekend. I think it's going to be spread across the Holidays season and we think December is going to be a very important gifting season for our guests.
Rather than concentrating holiday deals around Thanksgiving and Black Friday, we've spread our Black Friday offers throughout the entire month of November, with weekly promotions spread across different categories throughout the month. And in the spirit of transparency and trust, we've assured our guests that if they see any of our Black Friday items for a lower price later in this season, we'll happily make up the difference through our extended price match policy.
The in-store experience
In the UK and most of Europe, the notorious annual scenes of long lines outside stores and physical fighting over deals inside will not occur in the main thanks to national lockdowns closing down so-called non-essential retail. But in the US, bricks-and-mortar outlets will be open, meaning that retailers have had to focus on omni-channel priorities to maximise health and safety for customers and employees alike. Target's Cornell explains:
To minimize lines, we've added more than 1,000 mobile checkout devices across the chain, allowing our team members to help guests check out anywhere in the store. We've also added thousands of gift items eligible for same-day fulfilment. And we're entering the Holidays season with more than double the number of drive-up parking spaces compared with a year ago. In addition, we've added refrigerated and frozen items to our pick-up and drive-up assortment at more than 1,600 locations across the country, making this the first Holidays season in which guests from coast-to-coast can use these convenience services to pick up everything they need for a holiday meal.
The offline store network will continue to be important during the Holidays regardless of the accelerated shift to digital seen throughout 2020, attests Kohl's Gass:
The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt accelerated the shift towards digital, and we've seen this in our business. Digital sales represented 32% of our total sales this [past] quarter, increasing 25% [year-on-year]. Our stores supported much of this growth, fulfilling nearly 40% of the digital sales. Kohl's is positioned to continue benefiting from this shift. We have an extremely healthy and flexible off-mall store base, a large and growing digital platform and compelling and differentiated omni-capabilities which reach our base of 65 million customers…You'll see us amplify our pick-up options and really leverage the store footprint. We're pleased with the customer adoption of Buy Online, Pick-up In Store and Curbside, which now represents a third of all the pick-ups that we're seeing from customers.
The same sort of expanded fulfilment options are also in play at Macy's and will help to deliver some semblance of normality for the Holidays, argues Gennette:
We've elongated events and put an increased emphasis on digital to even out the flow of traffic in our stores through the Holidays season to maintain health and safety for our customers and colleagues. Our stores are dressed for the Holidays and our digital platforms are ready to go. Our teams are 100% focused on executing holiday and we are confident in our plans. So, like all of 2020, we know unexpected challenges and opportunities will come our way and our team is prepared to tackle them.
It's been a long year for retail and, as noted above, the real test is about to come. Every year market research firms rush to be the first out the door with 'Black Friday' business and traffic breakdowns, but this year there will be genuine interest in seeing how the coming weekend shakes down in practice. Happy Holidays or Bah Humbug? Watch this space.


WASHINGTON – Orders for long-lasting U.S.-made goods unexpectedly slipped 0.4 percent last month as demand for computers, cars and civilian aircraft slumped, a government report showed on Wednesday.
The Commerce Department (search) said orders for durable goods (search) — big-ticket items like cars and refrigerators meant to last at least three years — would have been much weaker in October were it not for strong military demand.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected durable goods orders to rise by 0.5 percent, with non-transportation orders up 0.2 percent and orders excluding defense up 0.3 percent.
While the report was weaker than expected, upward revisions to September's figure helped temper the picture. Durable goods orders in September were up 0.9 percent, compared to the 0.2 percent gain reported previously.
Strong demand for military aircraft gave the October figures a stronger appearance then they would have had otherwise.
Orders for military aircraft soared 35.2 percent last month, but civilian aircraft orders slid 0.4 percent. Motor vehicle demand fell a sharp 2.8 percent and orders for computers and related products dropped 10.3 percent.
Before the report, analysts said a weakening dollar, which makes U.S.-made goods less expensive overseas, would likely be a factor supporting orders growth.
In addition, economists say a federal depreciation bonus expiring at the end of the year that gives companies a tax break for new equipment spending should be offering near-term support to capital outlays.
However, the October report, which offers a key reading on the health of the manufacturing sector, suggested some weakness in business capital spending plans. Civilian capital goods orders, excluding aircraft, fell 3.6 percent last month, reversing much of September's 5.2 percent rise.

Laura Peverara or Peperara (c. 1550 – 4 January 1601) was an Italian virtuoso singer who was also a harpist and dancer; born and raised in Mantua. Her father, Vincenzo, was a merchant, an intellectual who tutored princes, leading to Laura being brought up in courtly society. In the 1570s she was singing in Verona.

Alfred Einstein identified Laura as a member of the renowned musica secreta ensemble il Concerto delle donne in Ferrara. She was the first member, starting in 1580, and remained in the group until its dissolution in 1597. It is now clear from reappraisal of the source material that there were two concerti at Ferrara and that Einstein's "Three Ladies" are drawn from different groups. Peverara and Anna Guarini were the only two of the original members to sing at the ensemble's first recorded performance.

Three anthologies were put together in her honor, including one by Torquato Tasso (Il Lauro verde) in celebration of her marriage to Ferrarese Count Annibale Turco. In addition many madrigals were dedicated to her by Ferrarese composers, including ones by Giovanni Battista Gabella, Vittorio Baldini, and Giovanni Gabrieli.

Biden: Pope Said 'I Should Keep Receiving Communion'
By Charlotte Pence Bond
Oct 29, 2021 DailyWire.com
Vatican Media via Vatican Pool/Getty Images
On Friday, President Joe Biden told the press details about his meeting with Pope Francis as debate over Biden's stance on abortion as a self-professed Catholic continues in the United States.
"We just talked about the fact that he was happy I'm a good Catholic," Biden said, per Fox News. "And I should keep receiving communion."
Biden noted that the pope did not provide him with communion during their time together. The president also reportedly delivered a "challenge coin" to the pope.
"I'm not sure this is appropriate, but there is a tradition in America that the president, that he gives to warriors and leaders," Biden said. "You are the most significant warrior for peace I've ever met, and I'd like to be able to give you a coin."
"I know my son would want me to give this to you," Biden said, referencing his late son Beau.
The New York Times also reported that Biden responded, "Yes," when he was asked by the media if Francis said if he should keep getting communion.
The Times added:
Asked to confirm Mr. Biden's remarks, Matteo Bruni, the Vatican spokesman, said the Holy See limited its comments to the news release about subjects discussed during the meeting and added, "It's a private conversation."
The practice of communion among pro-abortion government leaders who say they are practicing Catholics has been a debate for some time. Pope Francis was asked about the topic of abortion and the intense discussion over communion, last month.
"Answering questions aboard the papal plane from Bratislava, Slovakia, to Rome on Sept. 15, the pope emphatically said that abortion ends a human life and that human life must be respected," CNA News reported.
"Abortion is more than an issue. Abortion is homicide," Pope Francis said. "It's a homicide. No middle terms. Whomever does an abortion, kills."
"Scientifically it's a human life. The textbooks teach us that. But is it right to take it out to solve a problem? And this is why the Church is so strict on this issue because it is kind of like accepting this is accepting daily murder," Pope Francis noted.
"As for whether to deny a pro-abortion politician the ability to participate in communion, the Pope was less decisive, suggesting that bishops and priests should seek to be pastoral and counsel those who seem confused about Church teachings because a pastor's responsibility does not end when an individual has been excommunicated or has excommunicated themselves by disagreeing publicly with core dogma," The Daily Wire reported.
"The problem is pastoral, how do we, as bishops, manage this principle," Pope Francis said. "If we look at the history of the Church, we will see that every time the bishops acted not as pastors in a problem, they became politicians."
"And what should the pastor do? He shouldn't go around condemning. And he must also be a pastor with those who are excommunicated and be so with God's style, which is closeness, compassion and tenderness," Pope Francis said. "Those people who are not in the community cannot take communion, because they are out of the community. It is not a punishment: Communion is linked to the community."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), a fierce supporter of abortion, has also faced scrutiny for her stance. She met with Francis earlier this month at the Vatican.
As The Daily Wire reported, "Pelosi, a lifelong Roman Catholic, has described herself as a 'devout Catholic,' but she has been criticized recently by her own bishop in San Francisco for her public support of legal abortion. The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is morally wrong and kills the unborn child, whose life begins at conception."
"We must never lose sight of this fact: In the last 50 years, in the United States alone, 66,000,000 babies have been murdered in their mothers' wombs," San Francisco's Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone said in May.
"This is not a matter about which one can use judgment. It is a fact," the bishop added.

13-year-old, Christina Magrin is quickly becoming a household name to many after representing Malta at the 14th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held in Valletta, with the song "Parachute" which she co-wrote with Matt 'Muxu' Mercieca and Florent Boshnjaku.
In the aftermath of that spectacular showcase, Christina has returned to her everyday life focusing on her school work, and keeping her grades in check. That said, she has also been busy in the studio working on new material with some of the world's leading songwriters, in preparation for the release of her debut album in a couple of months' time.
The 2nd single off the young singer/songwriter's debut album, "Snow Globe" is co-written with Matt 'Muxu' Mercieca, and Cyprian Cassar, the latter of which is also responsible for both the melody and the production of the song. People had an opportunity to listen to the song on the 18th February, during the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2017, where Christina was a guest star.
The 1st performance of the new single was absolutely extraordinary and involved students from 'The Voice Lab' as well as an intense choreography by the Southville Dancers. You may view the performance below. We urge you to stay tuned to escflashmalta.com even through Facebook and Twitter for all the latest news about the local music scene.
John Bundy, Chief Executive Officer of the Public Broadcasting Services, has recently given an interview to the local newspaper "Illum", stating that 'the song belongs to the people, and therefore the people will select it' which in all likelihood means that the next edition of the Malta Eurovision Song Contest will be decided mostly through a public vote.
The rules and regulations, yet to be officially published but expected any day should highlight a different approach to Malta's participation in the international spectacle, aiming to improve upon recent results.
In 2016, Ira Losco was under scrutiny on continous occasions, starting off with the change in song and then the participaion expenditure. That said, "Walk on Water" finished in a stunning 4th place with the juries, before tele-voting saw her fall down to 11th place, still very credible considering that Malta's best result was an 8th place finish in 2013, achieved by Gianluca Bezzina and "Tomorrow".
Previous artists who have represented Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest owing to a 100% public vote included: Chiara in 2005, Fabrizio Faniello in 2006, Olivia Lewis in 2007 and Chiara in 2009. That said, the jury and the public have agreed on several occasions, the most recent being with Ira Losco in 2016, and Amber in 2015. Malta would have had different winners in 2013, and 2014, as the winners of the Pubic Vote where Kevin Borg, and Jessika.
We urge you to stay tuned to escflashmalta.com even through Facebook and Twitter for all the latest news about the 2017 Malta Eurovision Song Contest as soon as it becomes available.

How do we develop a world-class product-engineering culture that delivers on customer expectation and maximises the benefits of our technology platform?
We partnered with a global product agency to help them uncover the issues that were hindering a leading consumer website from rapidly releasing innovative products to market to meet the changing demand of their customers.
With the company spread over 3 UK locations, with multiple consumer facing products under one brand and each product in a different state of migration to a single technology platform, this was a complex project to unravel.
Over an 8 week period, we conducted over 40 face-to-face stakeholder interviews across 3 locations; ran 2 one-day discovery workshops; reviewed multiple strategic documents, customer insight reports, customer data reports, customer personas and journey maps, customer success metrics and social analysis. We observed the development process with the product agency partner and reviewed processes, protocols, tools and platforms across the organisation.
In order to contextualise the data we were gathering, we also conducted market and competitor research including trend analysis and reports, as well as building out the individual product value propositions and a motivational matrix for identifying employee relationship and engagement.
The resulting output from the Discovery phase raised 523 pain points across the organisation. From this extensive list we rated, prioritised and grouped the pain points into 30 key themes, this included 9 company-wide themes and 21 themes specific to the development phases.
Following the Discovery and Ideation phases, we developed over 60 MVIs detailing how the company could move from their current position to their desired position. These were scheduled over 2 waves of implementation, all mapped and assigned with tasks, subtasks, definition, business impact, owners, timelines and KPIs. In addition to the development process and organisational MVI's, we included a detailed People Strategy framework including tasks for employee engagement, objectives setting and measuring, leadership measurement, mentoring and training guides, education on best practice, recommendations for talent acquisition, communication and collaboration, and methods to develop goal-driven agile development teams.
All this in combination with adhering to a strict Software Development Lifecycle signoff process (SDLC) that was required in order to protect sensitive data and data breaches within the organisation.

Methylphenidate remains first-choice drug treatmen...
Methylphenidate remains first-choice drug treatment for children and young people with ADHD
Published on 6 November 2018 doi: 10.3310/signal-000671
The stimulant methylphenidate has the best balance of effectiveness against side effects in children and young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Amphetamines are more effective, but also more likely to be stopped for a reason other than side effects.
This large, NIHR-funded systematic review compared a range of drugs against each other through a network meta-analysis. Effectiveness and tolerability were assessed at about 12 weeks of treatment. Other second-line drug treatments were also effective and well-tolerated, including modafinil which is currently not licensed for children in the UK.
There were some quality issues due to risk of bias. But this study supports NICE guidance on the range of potential drug options to consider in conjunction with behavioural and support strategies for children and young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that starts in childhood. Symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that occur at home and school, interfering with functioning or development. It is thought to affect around 5% of children worldwide and is more common in boys than girls.
Many children improve with behavioural interventions and family support, with drug treatments reserved for more those more severely affected. Drug treatments include stimulants (such as methylphenidate and amphetamines) and non-stimulants (such as atomoxetine). This review aimed to compare the available drugs using a network meta-analysis. This type of analysis can weigh up the effectiveness and side effects of the drugs against one another even if they have not been directly compared in trials, as long as they have been in at least a placebo-controlled trial.
The child and adolescent parts of this systematic review included 82 trials of 14,346 young people. The network meta-analysis compared amphetamines (including lisdexamfetamine), methylphenidate, atomoxetine, bupropion, clonidine, guanfacine and modafinil. It included unpublished data gathered from study authors and drug manufacturers.
Core symptoms of ADHD were rated by both clinicians and teachers, using a variety of scales. The review only looked at outcomes at about 12 weeks, as few of the trials included longer-term data.
The majority of the trials took place in the US, with only two carried out in the UK. The number of children in the analysis of each drug was not provided and only a quarter of studies were at low risk of bias, which reduces the reliability of the results.
All the drugs were better than placebo when rated by clinicians. Amphetamines greatly improved symptoms and were the most effective (standardised mean difference [SMD] -1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.19 to -0.85). No information was available for teacher ratings.
Moderate to large improvements were also seen for methylphenidate by clinicians (SMD -0.78, 95% CI -0.93 to -0.62) and teachers (SMD ‑0.82 ‑1.16 to ‑0.48). Bupropion was also moderate to largely effective when rated by clinicians though there was less confidence in this result (SMD ‑0.96, 95% CI ‑1.69 to ‑0.22) and it was not significantly effective when rated by teachers.
Clinicians found moderate improvements for atomoxetine (SMD -0.56, 95% CI -0.66 to ‑0.45), clonidine (SMD ‑0.71, 95% CI ‑1.17 to ‑0.24), guanfacine (SMD ‑0.67, 95% CI ‑0.85 to ‑0.50) and modafanil (SMD ‑0.62, 95% CI ‑0.84 to ‑0.41).
There were no differences in tolerability between the drugs, measured as the proportion of participants who left a study because of any side-effects. Acceptability was measured as the proportion of participants who left the study for any reason. Methylphenidate was the only drug that was more acceptable than placebo (odds ratio [OR] 0.66, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.92).
Weight loss was common when compared to placebo for young people on amphetamines (SMD -0.71, 95% CI -1.15 to -0.27), methylphenidate (SMD -0.77, 95% -1.09 to -0.45), atomoxetine (SMD ‑0.84, 95% CI ‑1.16 to ‑0.52) and modafinil (SMD ‑0.93, 95% CI ‑1.59 to ‑0.26).
NICE updated its guidance on the diagnosis and management of ADHD in March 2018. It recommends methylphenidate (either short or long-acting) as the first line drug treatment for children (aged five years and over) and young people with ADHD. If a six-week trial does not show enough benefit, it recommends switching to once daily lisdexamfetamine. The shorter acting dexamfetamine can be considered for those whose symptoms respond to lisdexamfetamine but who cannot tolerate the longer effects (and side effects).
Atomoxetine or guanfacine are second-line options. Clonidine is only used in tertiary services for young people with ADHD and sleep disturbance, rages or tics. Modafinil is only licensed for adults.
This study supports NICE guidelines for using methylphenidate as the first-choice drug treatment for children over the age of five years and young people with ADHD, and amphetamines as a second choice. There was insufficient evidence to analyse the amphetamines separately, though NICE specifically recommends lisdexamfetamine, having included the convenience of taking it once per day and UK cost information.
Lisdexamfetamine is broken down slowly in the body to dexamfetamine and is only taken once per day. If it works but the effects last too long, standard dexamfetamine can be considered which is taken every few hours.
Longer-term studies would be useful and separate analysis for children and adolescents to determine if age affects outcomes. But overall, each recommended drug is effective and tolerable, thus providing a range of options depending on individual factors and preferences.

Inattention is apparent when a child or young person wanders off task, lacks persistence, has difficulty in sustaining focus and is disorganised.
Hyperactivity is manifest by increased motor activity when it is not appropriate, or by excessive fidgeting, tapping, or talkativeness.
Impulsivity refers to hasty actions that occur in the moment without forethought and that have high potential for harm for the individual. Impulsive behaviour may manifest as social intrusiveness and/or making important decisions without considering the long-term consequences.
This network analysis allows comparisons across all the major drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It confirms some common beliefs among clinicians, such as amphetamines and methylphenidate being generally best across home and school contexts, and that drugs usually used as second-line choices, atomoxetine and guanfacine or clonidine, being less effective.
However what may be new for many is the effectiveness of modafinil for children and adolescents in both settings, whereas it had few effects in adults. We still need more trials with long-term follow-up and more that are not funded by the pharmaceutical industry.

Offering Nokia a new perspective
A response to the 27.2.2008 Helsingin Sanomat article "Nokia doing business with Turkmenistan dictatorship" was made by the Nokia Executive Vice President of Corporate Relations and Responsibility, Veli Sundbäck and Head of Corporate Affairs of Nokia Siemens Networks, Lauri Kivinen. Their statement firmly denies that the company deviates from its self-stated ethical guidelines in any of its dealings with Turkmenistan. Below is a new perspective for Nokia from the makers of the film Shadow of the Holy Book.
Nokia states in its corporate responsibility report that it takes human rights into account in all decisions and operative methods relating to business activity. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) nevertheless operate in Turkmenistan, a country that is classed as one of the worst three dictatorships in the world, and one that blatantly violates human rights and denies freedom of speech. Now that these business activities have been publicised, Nokia pleads that there is no obstacle for business because the country in question is not subject to a formal embargo. So why supposedly uphold ethical guidelines? Why speak about respecting human rights, if this goes undemonstrated in practice? The word 'embargo' is beside the point here - it is not mentioned in Nokia's corporate responsibility report in connection to human rights.
Nokia and NSN also state that the expansion of their GSM-network and the concurrent increase of telecommunications connections offer Turkmenistan important benefits, such as increasing the availability of information. In contrast, many dissidents and human rights activists who have fled Turkmenistan believe that the Nokia Siemens network only improves information collection for the state secret police and enables more effective surveillance of dissidents.
A year before Nokia and Siemens' joint company, Nokia Siemens Networks, was founded we informed the Nokia leadership (and even made a short film for the Internet: about what Siemens have done in Turkmenistan:
a) Siemens have praised and courted the dictator through expressing appreciation for the Ruhnama book, which has destroyed the country's educational system and is an important instrument for the dictatorship.
b) Siemens have delivered a wire-tapping system for Turkmenistan, which the government is using to arrest dissidents and destroy their opposition.
Nokia didn't want to comment on these issues and was surprisingly hesitant to hear the recent history of its business partner-to-be. In any case Nokia has been informed of the actions of Siemens, and regardless of this NSN has stepped into Turkmenistan in Siemens' footprints. As long-active Siemens leadership personnel are now also acting as part of the Nokia Siemens board and leadership, it is hard for political refugees to believe that the NSN network is not also a part of the Turkmenistan government's wider wire-tapping system. Just recently, on the 28th of February the Vice Chairman of Nokia Siemens Networks, and a member of Siemens' Board of Directors, Rudi Lamprecht, held a meeting with Turkmenistan's dictator Gurbanguly Berdymuhammedov in order to negotiate about both NSN's and Siemens' business relations with Turkmenistan.
The questions that Nokia still declines to answer are as relevant as ever: Why are they collaborating with a dictatorship? Why are they collaborating with a company that has produced a wire-tapping system for a dictatorship? Why do they show no concern that NSN's equipment may be used for spying on the dictatorship's own citizens?
In our film Shadow of the Holy Book the chairman of the Finnish Ensto admits the company's mistake and notes that Ensto has ended any attempted collaboration with the dictatorship, encouraging other companies to do the same. All of us make mistakes, including companies. Therefore we encourage Nokia to admit its mistakes and initiate new discussion and deliberation on ethical values and their practical application. We still want Nokia to be our honest flagship for Finland.
We hope that Nokia does not continue to deny known facts. It would demonstrate worrying carelessness regarding their own actions and the consequences of those actions, and how the activities of international businesses, including Nokia and NSN, help to keep the dictatorship alive in Turkmenistan and oppress ordinary Turkmen citizens.

I love creating unique and original, custom-designed dolls to fulfill your heart's desires!
These dolls borrowed designs from the Mazahua and Otomi people in the states neighboring Mexico City, where I grew up. Seeing the destitute state of the local women in the city, who were limited to selling candy on the streets as a means to support themselves, Guadalupe Rivera, the daughter of muralist Diego Rivera started a program designed to help the local economy, by teaching the women to make and sell dolls.
The dolls I make today are influenced, in part, by these indigenous Mexican dolls of my childhood, which represented a culture that ordinarily went underrepresented in regular toy stores.
If you also belong to a particular ethnicity, gender, religious tradition or group that you would like to see represented in a doll, I would love to create that dolly for you! Or, perhaps you have a special theme, mythical personality, holiday or other original idea you'd like me to engage when making a custom doll for you. If so, I'll do my best to fulfill your heart's desire.

Milan Reiman (28. května 1906 – 6. prosince 1949 Praha-věznice Ruzyně) byl český a československý politik Komunistické strany Československa a poválečný poslanec Ústavodárného Národního shromáždění. V roce 1949 byl v rámci politických procesů zatčen, vyšetřován a spáchal sebevraždu.

Biografie
V parlamentních volbách v roce 1946 byl zvolen poslancem Ústavodárného Národního shromáždění za KSČ. V parlamentu setrval do srpna 1947, kdy se vzdal mandátu a místo něj nastoupil Jindřich Šnobl.

Po válce působil v Ústřední radě odborů a jako ekonomický odborník Ústřední plánovací komise. V roce 1949 se stal vedoucím úřadu předsednictva vlády. Jeho politická kariéra ale brzy poté náhle skončila. 24. listopadu 1949 byl zatčen. Již před zatčením ho sledovala Státní bezpečnost s podezřením pro nepřátelskou hospodářskou činnost. Historik Karel Kaplan jeho zatčení přičítá mimo jiné souboji dvou skupin ekonomů v KSČ v té době. Opakovaně byl vyslýchán ve věznici na Ruzyni. Vyšetřovatelé řešili i jeho účast v odboji za druhé světové války a možnou spolupráci se Sicherheitsdienstem. 6. prosince 1949 spáchal Reiman ve své cele sebevraždu. Následné vyšetřování neprokázalo cizí zavinění, nicméně podle pozdějších názorů některých bezpečnostních pracovníků mohl sebevraždu vyvolat psychický tlak aplikovaný na Reimana sovětskými vyšetřovateli. Ještě na zasedání vedení strany ve dnech 24.–25. února 1950 byl ex post vyloučen z KSČ (spolu s dalším významným funkcionářem Vilémem Novým). V roce 1964 bylo vdově po Reimanovi, Marii Reimanové, vyplaceno státem 15 000 Kčs a případ byl tím uzavřen.

Miley Cyrus Seems to Reference Ex-Husband Liam Hemsworth on 'Plastic Hearts' Album
Miley Cyrus seemingly references her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth on her latest album, Plastic Hearts.
On Friday (November 27), Cyrus released her seventh studio album, which includes a song that appears to address Hemsworth. Fans immediately took notice of the track, called "WTF Do I Know."
"I'm not tryna have another conversation / Probably not gon' wanna play me on your station / Pouring out a bottle full of my frustration / Here to tell you somethin' that you don't know / I'm the type to drive a pickup through your mansion / I'm completely naked but I'm makin' it fashion / Maybe gettin' married just to cause a distraction / Here to tell you somethin' that you don't know," Cyrus sings in the first verse.
"What the f–k do I know? I'm alone / 'Cause I couldn't be somebody's hero / You want an apology? Not from me," she sings in the chorus. "Had to leave you in your own misery / So tell me, baby, am I wrong that I moved on? / And I, and I don't even miss you / Thought that it'd be you until I die / But I let go, what the fuck do I know?"
In the pre-chorus, Cyrus questions if it's wrong that she moved on from an ex-lover, who she doesn't miss anymore.
One Twitter user dissected the lyrics from "I Would Die For You," off of Cyrus' 2017 record, Younger Now, and compared them to a line from the pre-chorus of "WTF Do I Know."
"You are everything to me, and I, I would die for you," she sings in the song from 2017, while she sings a similar line ("Thought that it'd be you until I die, but I let go") on "WTF Do I Know."
Listen to the song, below.
Cyrus and Hemsworth began dating shortly after they acted alongside one another in the 2010 film The Last Song. They dated on and off before getting married in December 2018. They filed for divorce in January 2020.

Q: Find the probability using the normal approximation to the binomial Studies show that 7 percent of the labour force in Australia is between 16 and 24 years old. Using the normal approximation to the binomial, find the probability that a random sample of 200 employed persons in Australia contains 10 or fewer in the 16 to 24 age group. Use the continuity correction.
(a) 0.334
(b) 0.166
(c) 0.1335
(d) 0.834
(e) 0.3665
How do I do this?

A: Hint: The expression is
$$ P(X\leq 10)\approx\Phi\left( \frac{x+0.5-\mu}{\sqrt{n\cdot p\cdot (1-p)}} \right)=\Phi\left( \frac{10+0.5-0.07\cdot 200}{\sqrt{200\cdot 0.07\cdot 0.93}} \right)$$
$\Phi(z)$ is the cdf of the standard normal distribution and $0.5$ the continuity correction factor.
