Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, a former US ally, is said to have beaten and taken ransom a political rival with mediators trying to resolve the situation.
Scuffles, and fights between rival fans at sporting events are far from uncommon. However, they rarely involve political figures central to the running of a state.
However, this seems to have been the case in Afghanistan with reports that the country's Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum recently punched a fellow fan attending a traditional game of "buzkashi".
The New York Times reported the incident took place at the sporting event involving two teams fighting for a dead goat, in which Dostum's bodyguards set upon the rival and temporarily took him hostage.
The man accosted by Dostum, wrote The New York Times on Sunday, is a rival, and former ally Ahmad Ischi, who heads the country's Junbish political party with a strong political following in the north of the country.
"Dostum came there, and he walked around the stadium, then he called Ahmad Ishchi over to him .. After talking with him for a couple of minutes, he punched him, and his bodyguards started beating him with AK-47s. They beat Ahmad very badly and in a barbaric way," a relative of Mr. Ischi told the American daily.
Although Dostum is ostensibly the second most powerful political figure in Afghanistan's state apparatus such actions are not considered out of character for an individual that has been accused of numerous human rights violations.
He has been described as a "known killer", and is banned from traveling to the US — despite the fact that Afghanistan is hugely reliant on American military and financial support — due to accusations of war crimes.
Dostum was previously an ally of the United States and worked alongside CIA operatives and Special Ops forces in efforts to oust the Taliban during operation "Enduring Freedom" in 2001.
However, Dostum consequently fell out of favour in Washington having openly defied the new government in Kabul.
His relationship with current Afghanistani President Ashraf Ghani is seen as a fractious alliance of mutual convenience.

The dead were coming for her.
Katie stood where the snowmobile should have been, but in its place was only rutted snow and torn up shards of ice and grass. Where was it? Who might have taken it and how? She stood there, rooted to the spot. The impossibility of it, the unfairness of it, made her hesitate. That hesitation nearly cost Katie her life.
Something cold grabbed her from behind. Stiff fingers clutched at her jacket, dragging her backwards while another clutched at her arm. A hiss slid across her ear, the infected's breath a fetid wind of blood and decay. It leaned towards her, teeth snapping for her flesh. If she didn't move, if she didn't fight, she'd die. Right here in the dark and the cold.
Fight, Katie! Fight! She could almost hear her father say the words, just like he'd said them so many years ago.
Screaming, it was like something broke within her. Her fear melted, replaced by a sudden urge to fight, to live. Her blood burned hot, her muscles suddenly alive with adrenaline. Twisting her body, the infected's teeth clamped down on her mask instead of her skin. The jaw snapped shut so hard that its teeth broke on the plastic. Her mask's filter cracked and a spray of dark blood hit the faceplate.
She brought her arm up and slammed her elbow into the thing's neck. It staggered just enough for her to draw a knee up between them and kick outward, driving the heel of her boot into the infected's knee. Something snapped and the thing — it was a thing, not a person anymore, she told herself — fell forward. Twisting out of the way, she grabbed one of her spare magazines with one hand and pushed the slider to release her spent one with the other. Clicking the new magazine into place, she charged the bolt and fired into the back of the thing's head just as it started to rise again.
More slipped through the trees, staggering in on all sides, boxing her in. The only open path was straight behind her and she turned to run, bringing the rifle to bear as she did so. Infected moaned and hissed, reaching out with hands and teeth. With a few trigger pulls, she brought down the closest in front of her.
She'd just burst through the group when one caught her ponytail. Nearly losing her footing, Katie reached out a hand and grabbed hold of a low hanging branch to keep her balance and struggled to free herself. The dead hands were strong, pulling her head back painfully. She felt her hair giving way, ripping out at the roots. The mask dislodged, twisting to the side and obscuring her vision.
She knew she only had seconds before the thing was close enough to bite her. Letting go of her rifle and letting it hang by the sling, she pulled off her mask and drew the knife sheathed against her left shoulder. Her dad taught her how to sheath it there and how to draw it. Those lessons were fun and Katie had felt powerful then, just like when she shot the rifles and pistols. Now, terrified and nearly blinded with pain, she let muscle memory do its thankless work.
The knife came free and she could turn just enough to stab backward. Too low, the knife caught the infected's shoulder and nearly caused her to lose her grip on it. She turned again, harder. Her hair tore out and fire trailed up her scalp, followed by the warm wetness of blood. The infected's face was inches from her own, mouth open wide and yellow teeth closing in. She was too close to bring the knife up and threw up her left arm in front of the thing's snapping maw.
The infected's mouth closed around her forearm as she freed her right hand enough to thrust the knife upward. The blade sank deep beneath its jaw, passing through the soft palate and up into the brain. The infected immediately went slack and fell, dragging Katie with it. Though the body had gone limp, the hand and jaw was still clamped on her hair and forearm.
The other infected were nearly on top of her as she fought to free herself. Withdrawing her knife from the infected's head, she sawed and hacked until the ponytail was severed, then jabbed the knife into its jaw and pried it open. Teeth snapped, bones cracked, and her jacket tore but she managed to pull free just as another infected reached down for her.
A loud whirr resounded through the woods a split second before something heavy and metal crashed into the infected around her. The snowmobile struck the dead man reaching for her in the side and sent it crashing into a nearby tree. Then it too struck a tree and slid sideways, her dad's figure rolling away from it.
"Run!" he shouted as he stood and began firing at the infected turning towards him. Several dropped under the sudden explosion of gunfire. The muzzle flashes were so bright that Katie saw spots.
Shaking herself from her momentary stupor, Katie got to her feet and raised her rifle again, once more thankful for the tactical sling it was still attached to. The cold air was brisk and biting against her now-bare face, but it woke her fully as well. She sighted and dropped two infected that approached her dad from the side.
She fired again, dropping another infected before turning around and running. If one thing Katie was good at, it was knowing her direction. It was something she'd learned as a kid from playing a heck of a lot of hunting and tracking games with her dad in the woods. Back then, she dreamed of being a Ranger like him, but time dimmed a lot of things and her teenage years inflamed new passions.
Katie ran as fast as she could through the dense underbrush and clawing fir tree limbs. She could hear the hisses and moans of the infected behind her but she no longer heard the bark of gunfire. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw no sign of her dad either.
He's fine, she told herself. Run. Follow orders.
After running for nearly five minutes, the ache in her legs and lungs finally made her slow her pace. She paused for a brief moment and held her breath, listening for any sound. The infected made a hell of a racket as they crashed through the woods and their moaning carried far on the wind.
They were still close, but she'd managed to put some distance between them. She used that time to settle her nerves, catch her breath and listen for anything that might mean her dad was still alive. To this end, she heard nothing.
She turned her gaze on her left forearm, where the infected had bit her. Swallowing a sudden lump of fear, she pulled back her jacket's sleeve. Underneath, a bracer of heavy wrapped leather showed dents and small tearing but had held. She sighed with relief. The armor had been her idea and they'd torn apart a leather quiver to make them. If she found the time, she'd see about making some for her neck and shoulders. But now it was time to move.
Keep going. That's what he'd want.
Starting off again, she kept her pace brisk but not an all-out run. Every few hundred yards she'd stop and listen for sounds of infected. She thanked every god in the universe for the light of the moon to see by, even if the snow clouded out the stars. Otherwise, she'd never find the bunker in the dark. Its general location was no problem, but actually spotting the entrance? It was very well hidden.
A shot rang out north of her. Then another and another. The growling and hissing of the infected became a low rumble in the distance. It was moving north and away from her.
Dad, no, she thought, tightening her grip on her rifle. Another shot. Another. They were coming in more rapid succession now and Katie surmised he was either leading them or was cornered. Either way, she yearned to run towards the sound. She wanted to help, to save him.
You did this to protect your family, she thought, remembering her own words in the bunker. He'd done all this to protect her and running off to get herself killed would only destroy what he'd done. She couldn't do that to him either.
"I love you, dad," she whispered into the night air and turned to run for the bunker again, feeling tears freeze on her lashes.
It took nearly an hour of running and resting to get back to the location of the bunker. She almost ran right past it until she spotted the solar panels glinting in the moonlight. Then, with a little bit of searching, found the door again and opened it. She dropped into the stairwell and kept her rifle trained back the way she'd come for several long minutes.
He'd come. He would. She'd just wait until he did and cover him. The shots had long since died out and the last location was far north of her. As the minutes dragged on, she knew, deep in her heart, that her dad was not coming back. Not tonight.
I have to say, I'm really looking forward to seeing this story once its complete. I'll gladly read it again start to finish if it keeps on like this.
Thanks Adam. I'll do my best to keep it just as interesting!
Probably true, but sometimes games inspire me. I'm no good at theorycrafting or twitch streaming or any of that. Writing is something I like and what I can contribute to the community. Gaming communities are some of my favorite places to be.
I am loving this story so far. When I'm bored, this is my place to go. It completely washes the boredom away :3 Thanks for writing this; you certainly have a talent 😀 Can't wait for more!
Thanks Will! I was outlining Part 9 as I write this. I'm really happy you're enjoying the story.

Bangaldesh captain in tears over suspensions
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza could not hold back his tears while speaking to the media on Sunday over the suspensions of bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Arafat Sunny.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) barred the two from bowling in international cricket on Saturday after finding their actions illegal following an assessment in Chennai during the ongoing World Twenty20, reports bdnews24.com.
After the bowlers were reported for suspect action, tje Bangladesh management and players were confident they would pass the ICC assessment. But the news of their suspension came as a huge blow to the team.
Bangaldesh are particularly bitter about Taskin's suspension. On Saturday evening, the team held a four-hour meeting about what steps they could take against the verdict.
But as per the team management's suggestion, they decided to go along with the ICC process. The players now look to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to lodge a formal protest.
"There is a process and we will follow that. Whatever we want to say, we will say it to the BCB. The board will decide what to do, and talk to the ICC or whoever (else)," Mashrafe said on Sunday.
"But we still believe that Taskin – at least – is all right, and that Taskin can bowl. Now we will go through the processes and the systems that we have."
Mashrafe said none of Taskin's deliveries had been proven illegal in the game against the Netherlands, where his action was questioned. Taskin did not bowl a single bouncer in that match.
But he was asked to bowl nine bouncers in three minutes in the test where three of his balls exceeded the 15-degree limit.
Mashrafe, who is usually lively, made no attempt to hide his feelings. His voice trembled with almost every word that he spoke on Sunday.
When Mashrafe was overlooked for the 2011 World Cup, he had broken down at the BCB Academy ground. It was the last time anyone would remember him crying.
Although he did not shed tears during the conference, he started wiping his tears on his way out of the briefing room.
Being the captain this time around, Mashrafe feels for the young talent that Taskin is.
"I don't think about my career. But what kind of captain would I be if I can't stand beside the boy who will serve my country for the next 10-15 years. I can't accept this injustice," Mashrafe said.
Bangladesh will take on Australia at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday in their second Super 10 match.
They did practice on Sunday but their preparations have been overshadowed by the ban.
Taskin was reduced to tears once he heard the news of his suspension. Mashrafe tried to calm the 20-year old down but was lost for words. Sunny was in no better condition either.
Mashrafe said the team was having a very tough time trying to keep the two boys calm.

Further developments in the Hector Gil tragedy

On Monday, April 12, 2010, the Vista district attorney's office charged Mark Anthony Diaz with criminal threats, stating that more investigation was needed in order to charge the boxing trainer with murder. The local community was not only alarmed but outraged when hearing the news. Three days later, the accused killer was arraigned and formerly charged with the murder of his fellow coach, Hector Gil, and trying to kill 21 year-old Ricardo Gutierrez and injuring Peter Moreno at the Pacific Coast Boxing Gym, on Wednesday evening April 7, 2010.
At the Thursday's arraignment at the Vista courthouse, Diaz pleaded not guilty to all charges.
According to reports, Diaz could receive a sentence of 84 years to life in prison if convicted on all charges. The accused has now been held at the Vista jail since his arrest at his Carlsbad home on Thursday, April 8, 2010, the day after the shooting. Also, Diaz's bail was increased to $10 million after the following evidence was released:
1) Less than a week before the shooting, Gil received a message on his answering machine from a voice that sounded like Diaz's, threatening to "bust a cap into" Gil.
2) Associates stated Diaz was noticeably offended when many of his promising boxers left him and started training with Gil, including Ricky Gutierrez, 21, who fought his first pro fight Thursday, February 25, 2010 at the Four Points by Sheraton here in San Diego. Soon after Diaz filed a claim in court against Gutierrez alleging breach of contract.
3) Diaz had been barred from the Pacific Coast Boxing gym after its owner, Ari Soltani, changed the locks and filed a restraining order against him, alleging Diaz had threatened him and others. In Diaz's mind, it was his gym and sole means of support. Instead of charging the nominal fee ($40 a month) to target the low-income youth, he began to charge additional fees.
4) Witnesses described the clothes the shooter was wearing the night of the murder and the truck that the murderer left in. Their description matches Diaz's build and the vehicle he owns. Similar clothing and the vehicle were seized at Diaz's home the following day.
5) An acquaintance of Mark Diaz told investigators that Diaz had kept a handgun.
Over the past seven days, friends and family have been asking anyone and everyone for their thoughts on this terrible tragedy. Unlike most senseless murders Hector Gil's family y su amigos, have vowed this crime will not go unavenged. That's what happens when you are so loved.

Kraft Foods Inc. and Feeding America have announced expanded efforts to reach hungry families in America. To provide more Americans with better access to more nutritious, balanced, and delicious meals, the organizations unveiled a new national mobile pantry program that will deliver more than 50 million meals over the next three years.
Besides providing millions of pounds of food, Kraft is donating $4.5 million to Feeding America over the next three years to purchase up to 25 mobile pantries. In the past 25 years, Kraft has contributed $770 million in funding and food to support Feeding America and other hunger relief initiatives worldwide. The mobile pantry program is part of Kraft's new, three-year $180 million commitment to fighting hunger and supporting healthy lifestyles globally.
By making an average of three trips a week, each vehicle can distribute the equivalent of 1.1 million meals annually.
During the first year of the program, mobile pantries will be delivered to New York NY, Chicago IL, San Antonio TX, Madison WI, Central Valley (Fresno area) CA, Cincinnati OH, and Newberry SC. They will provide families with balanced meal options including Oscar Mayer meats, along with fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Stops will be made at neighborhood food pantries, soup kitchens, churches, schools, or parking lots.


Anyone with eyes can tell the "Damn, Daniel" meme star Daniel Lara is FOYN AF, but that doesn't mean he has plans to make a career off his looks.
According to Teen Vogue via Hollywood Life, Lara's classmate Skylar Keefe said his pal rejected several modeling contracts to pursue a college swimming scholarship.
Daniel is pretty modest about everything that has happened since the video went viral.
Daniel is riding the wave of Internet fame, which included a visit to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" where the host awarded him a lifetime supply of Vans.
Not all of us are meant to be models, but sometimes, it just feels nice to be asked.

MERCED - Gary Barlow hopes his team understands conditioning now.
Barlow's Delta College football team wore down Merced 44-27 Saturday at Stadium '76 by outscoring the Blue Devils 23-6 after halftime.
"We condition a lot," Barlow said. "We talk to our players. We tell them that it's not punishment, its preparation so you can play at your best at the end games."
The Mustangs, ranked No. 14 in Northern California, went up 21-14 in the second quarter, before No. 9 Merced marched 75 yards on nine plays. They scored with 2 seconds remaining, when Caleb Fiedor beat Marc Figone to the corner of the end zone for a 39-yard touchdown pass from Brendan Crawford. Figone also forced a fumble, recovered a fumble and had five tackles.
The difference after the half was that Delta (2-1) kept scoring and held Merced (2-1) without touchdowns on 4 of 5 possessions. With Merced down 37-27, Crawford was flushed out of the pocket by defensive end Ethan Westbrook and forced to throw the ball away, bringing up fourth down. Fabian Miramontes followed by missing a 42-yard field goal and the Mustangs ate up the clock.
Delta held Merced to 31 yards rushing in the second half after allowing 105 yards in the first half. They also sacked Crawford five times, including two by lineman Willie Faataualofa. Crawford completed 23 of 33 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns.
"We got good drives," Crawford said. "We just didn't execute and some of it was on me. It was my fault for not checking down to lower reads."
Freshman Fred Jones led the Mustangs with 126 yards rushing on 17 carries and three touchdowns, all career bests. Linebacker Tim Tisdale had him wrapped up in the first quarter, but Jones bounced outside, going 41 yards for the games' first touchdown.
"I give all my credit to the line today," Jones said. "They played excellent. They showed this week that they know the schemes."
Delta quarterback Pete Murdaca completed 20 of 26 passes for 268 yards and one touchdown pass and was never sacked.
Garrien Johnson had seven catches for 100 yards to lead the Mustangs, both career highs, while Edker McCullough had four catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. James Lankford rushed 12 times for 45 yards and scored twice.
"On the offensive side of the ball, up front, we started not turning anyone loose," Barlow said. "We got people blocked up better in the second half."

First Team News
Match Officials: Bradford City Away
The referee appointed to take charge of Tuesday night's Carabao Cup tie with Bradford City will be refereeing the Lilywhites for the first time.
Bradford City vs Preston North End Ticket News
Matthew Donohue will be the man with the whistle for the game, visiting the Utilita Energy Stadium for the second time in the calendar year, having refereed the Bantams' 3-1 home win over Peterborough United in March, when former North End striker Eoin Doyle was amongst the scorers.
Last season the match official took charge of 37 games, issuing 135 cautions and seven red cards and this season he has officiated two games, Saturday being his first Championship game, Hull City's 2-1 success against Reading.
His first game of the season took him to Crewe Alexandra, where Ryan Lowe's Plymouth Argyle had a 3-0 away win, but the yellow card was brandished eight times.
The other members of the third team involved in Tuesday night's first round clash see Philip Dermott and Robert Merchant as the assistants and Andrew Miller taking fourth official responsibilities.

Inspiration struck Chicago novelist Amy Guth while she was touring the country to promote her first novel, Three Fallen Women. Encouraged by the camaraderie she found at various small-press literary and book festivals and readings nationwide, she wanted to create a similar experience for writers in Chicago. "My experience with literary festivals has been so positive," she says. "Writing is such a solitary thing to do. It's easy to forget that there are other people out there working and hoping for the same things." The Pilcrow Lit fest was born.
Writing might be a solitary occupation, but the growing, nationwide buzz surrounding Pilcrow (named for the symbol used to note the start of a paragraph) is promising to unite a multitude of bibliophiles—writers, readers and publishers alike. Guth originally hoped to find 20 participants to fill the roster. At last count, 80 writers, publishers, and booksellers have signed on, traveling from across the country and as far as Switzerland to discuss current trends, present their work, and moderate conversations on topics on everything from social media to poetry.
This polarity is something that Pilcrow is designed to avoid. All participants are given an equal forum—there are no headliners. While some books and authors might be better known or more widely read, the emphasis at this four-day festival is on the writing community at large.
Amy Guth is certainly doing something, and through Pilcrow Lit Fest, the entire community stands to benefit.
Check out the Pilcrow Lit Fest May 22-25.

I was fortunate enough to photograph Singer's latest "Reimagined Porsche 911" this week, and this image is a behind-the-scenes look at me setting up the composition just before sunset. I will hopefully be able to release the final photos fairly soon.
Fellow Autoblogger Michael Harley snuck in this photo of me shooting a Hyundai Genesis for an upcoming comparison article. I'll post a link to the article and the complete gallery of photos when it goes live in the next few weeks.
A fellow photographer caught me snapping the 2013 Shelby GT500 during its debut in Los Angeles last night.
Hennessey has already put my Venom GT photos to good use. The car was on display at the RM auction in Monterey this weekend, and my photography was featured next to the car.
I made by podcasting debut earlier this week, discussing photography tips with a few other members of the Autoblog team. There ended up not being too much discussion about photography, but I'd recommend listening to it anyway if you enjoy cars.

New technologies are rapidly taking on traditionally 'human' tasks.
Automation has been part of offshore operations for decades. Dynamic positioning was introduced on a drillship in the 1970s, and equipment like the iron roughneck, which today is commonplace, has been around since the 1990s. Over the years, the industry has gradually adopted a range of onboard automated functionality that has enabled greater efficiency and enhanced safety.
Today robotics is taking automation to the next level. In about 18 months, a group that includes Total, The Oil & Gas Technology Centre, Austrian manufacturer Taurob and the Technische Universitaet Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) in Hessen, Germany, intends to introduce a mobile robot for autonomous operational inspection of offshore platforms.
The idea was conceived by Taurob and TU Darmstadt, which collaborated to win Total's Autonomous Robots for Gas and Oil Sites (ARGOS) challenge in 2017. The prototype, which received ATEX certification— meaning it conforms to the ATmosphere EXplosible directive for equipment working in flammable environment—can perform visual inspections, read dials, and measure gas concentration, temperature and level gauges and valve positions. It is mobile enough to move through narrow pathways, travel up and down stairs and detect and navigate around obstacles and humans.
In the next year and a half, the ATEX-certified, autonomous robot will be enhanced, and an additional two versions will be developed with more robustness, greater reliability and improved functionality. The resulting devices, which will be deployed on an offshore platform in the North Sea for the first offshore trial, are intended to be simple enough for workers to operate without the need for onsite robotics experts.
Another robot that also is at the prototype stage is a "snake," developed by Eelume—a company established in 2015 as a spinoff from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology—in cooperation with Statoil and Kongsberg Maritime.
Eelume describes the vehicle as a modular combination of joints, thrusters and various payload modules. Sensors and tools can be mounted anywhere along the flexible body. A dual-arm configuration is achieved by mounting tooling in each end and forming the vehicle body into a U-shape. One end of the arm can grab while the other end carries out inspection and intervention tasks. The unit also can be fitted with a camera on one arm to provide a view of tool operations being carried out on the other end.
The snake's design is such that, once the unit is deployed, it can remain permanently underwater, ready to perform intervention tasks that normally would require mobilization from the surface.
Meanwhile, a robot developed by Stavanger-based Robotic Drilling Systems AS, which was acquired by Nabors Industries Ltd. in 2017, reportedly automates all pipe and tool operations. With a 1,500-kg load capacity, the fully electric robot can pick up and lay down drillpipe, execute tripping, bottomhole assembly placement and plug and abandonment operations and handle completion components, casing, tubing, liners and screens.
These capabilities are impressive, and they represent only a few of the many robotics initiatives underway.
Advances like these are increasing efficiencies, minimizing human intervention and dramatically improving safety. And in the process, they are creating an offshore environment that soon will bear scant resemblance to the one that exists today.
Judy Murray has nearly 20 years of experience writing about oil and gas and has worked in both the drilling fluids and seismic sectors of industry.
Prosafe, acting as commercial managers for the Axis Offshore owned Safe Swift, has won a contract to support activities in the Central Mediterranean Sea on March 28.
New approaches deliver greater productivity and less risk.
The new 'normal' is a catalyst for change.


The 39-year-old mother died on Friday after being stabbed just yards from a school near Cheam.
In a statement on Sunday evening, Surrey Police said: "Ricardo Godinho, 41, of Kingston Road in Epsom was charged with murder this evening (February 10).
"He will appear in Staines Magistrates' Court court on Monday, 11 February.
"Aliny Mendes, 39, died at the roadside shortly after police were called following reports that a woman had been stabbed at the Sparrow Farm Road junction of London Road in Ewell.
Ms Mendes was stabbed just yards from Meadow Primary School, with London Road and the adjoining Sparrow Farm Road cordoned off as police investigated.
The area where the attack took place is a village on the south-west London and Surrey border.
On Saturday evening, Ms Mendes' sister paid tribute to her and said: "My sister was lovely, always thinking about everyone but mostly her children. She had a wonderful heart and there was no one else like her. She was a caring sister and worried about everyone.
A fundraiser set up to support her children and also to have her body repatriated to be with her friends in Brazil has raised more than £35,000.


In 2011, Malagasy photographer Emmanuelle Andrianjafy (1983) arrived in the harbour city of Dakar, situated on the westernmost African coast, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. This relocation marked the beginning of her interest in photography. In this new environment, Andrianjafy felt disoriented and confused. She took up a camera and immersed herself in the city. Her pictures have different photographic 'languages'. She captures the world in black-and-white as well as in colour, and uses both carefully constructed pictures and snap shots, which are often shot through her car window. Embracing the chaos of an unfamiliar world, Andrianjafy takes us on an exploratory journey through Dakar, a metropolis in constant flux between construction and deconstruction. For her, photography seems a way of finding a place she now calls home.
In the series 'A Place to Call Their Own', Dakoua looks at LGBTI life in Mozambique and the Ivory Coast, two countries that have recently decriminalized homosexuality.
The series was shot in Abidjan and Maputo in 2015 - 2016.
In 2006, ZAM featured the first works of Zanele Muholi. Amongst them: a self-portrait almost hidden in the clouds of a happy smoker. Our publisher at the time cried rage, we were at the peak of the war against nicotine.
Muholi, naturally, shuns the conventional. Ten years later, the issues of our time – identity, race, white privilege and cliché – are at the heart of a new series. The multiple award winner, honorary doctor, internationally renowned visual activist enters a clash with who we are and how we perceive the world around us. It's profound and disturbing, and so good. A real smoking gun!

This page will detail how to add family history data to a patient's chart. It will also explain how to customize the family history screen to fit each individual patient.
Family History is structured data that must be recorded on the patient's electronic chart. This information is an optional requirement in Stage 2 of Meaningful Use.
To document and view family history on a patient's chart, click the Family Hx button on the bottom left-hand portion of the patient's electronic chart. This will open the family history window.
Clicking the Family Hx icon on the patient's chart will open the Patient Information: Family History pop up window, see image.
To document a particular history item for this patient, select the history from the Family History column (for example, Acne) then check the box next to the corresponding family member. On default, TRAKnet will have a field for mother and a field for father; however, these fields can be added to as needed, going so far as to allow the user to enter family members by specific name and relationship to this patient.
Once you have finished document a patient's family history, click Close to close this window.
Adding additional Family History values, such as additional disease or condition history.
Adding specific family members, such as a sister, brother, or grandparent.
To add a new Family History value, click the "Add History" button in the upper left-hand corner of the Family History window. This will open the SnoMED CT search window, where you may search by a specific description for a history value and its associated SnoMED code. For example, entering in "dia" for "diabetes" will open a list of available history values meeting this criteria.
To choose a history value, select the item from this list, then click "OK." This value will be added to the available Family History values in alphabetical order.
To save this family member record, click Save. Please note that this is patient specific and must be done on a per patient level.
While this is no longer a requirement in Meaningful Use in 2015, the below videos are left archived as a demonstration for documenting patient's family .

You may think of preeclampsia—high blood pressure during or immediately following pregnancy—as a condition specific to pregnancy. However, research is finding that preeclampsia appears to be a significant warning sign for heart disease after pregnancy. In fact, the American Heart Association's guidelines on cardiovascular disease in women consider preeclampsia as a risk factor for heart disease as strong as a failed stress test—a test commonly used to identify existing heart disease.
Recognizing this important risk factor and the role of other pregnancy complications in later heart disease is vital to women's heart health: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the United States and Europe.
Read on to learn more about the relationship between preeclampsia and later heart disease—and how you can make sure your physician is aware of your medical history to help you monitor your heart health appropriately.
Preeclampsia is a medical condition marked by high blood pressure during pregnancy and post-partum. The condition is typically treated with medications; however, if blood pressure does not respond to treatment, early delivery may be advised. According to the Preeclampsia Foundation, 5–8 percent of all pregnancies are affected, and preeclampsia is a leading cause of infant and mother illness and death worldwide.
A history of preeclampsia doubles the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots within 5–15 years after pregnancy.
Women who have repeat or severe preeclampsia or preeclampsia accompanied by stillbirth are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease than women who have high blood pressure only or preeclampsia during a single pregnancy.
Many women may not be aware that preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications can signal heart disease risk. A study found that 13 percent of women screened for heart disease risk factors during an OBGYN visit had three or more cardiovascular disease risk factors they were not aware of.
Medical researchers do not yet know exactly how and why preeclampsia and future cardiovascular disease are linked. One theory is that the additional strain that pregnancy places on the cardiovascular system unmasks early existing cardiovascular disease. However, more research is necessary to understand the connection.
What Does a History of Preeclampsia Mean for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease?
As more physicians and patients become aware of the link between preeclampsia and future heart disease, women who are at risk can be identified earlier and treated sooner.
If you are a woman who had preeclampsia during a pregnancy, make sure that your physician is aware that you have this heart disease risk factor. If you, like approximately 20 percent of women, use your OBGYN as your primary care physician, discuss your heart health with your OBGYN. Your primary care physician or OBGYN can help you determine next steps for your heart health if you had preeclampsia or other pregnancy complications that are linked with future heart disease, such as gestational diabetes or a preterm birth.
I had preeclampsia during one or more pregnancies. Should I be referred to a cardiologist?
What other risk factors do I have (other pregnancy complications, cholesterol, obesity, etc.), and how can I reduce my risk?
What actions should I be taking now to monitor my heart health?
Are there lab tests or diagnostic tests that you would recommend based on my history of preeclampsia and other risk factors?
Are there lifestyle or medication changes that would benefit my heart health?
Ask them. Remember that though preeclampsia appears to be a risk factor for later cardiovascular disease, everyone is different. The key is to establish with your physician what your baseline cardiovascular health is now and make sure that your physician is aware that you had a pregnancy complication associated with later development of heart disease. Then, periodically ask your physician, "Have we checked my heart health recently?" Identifying and treating cardiovascular disease sooner rather than later will increase the odds of being able to work with your physician to slow or reverse the disease process.

TFL introduces free travel on London Buses with centre door boarding.
Blackheath, Charlton, Eltham, Greenwich, Local News, Plumstead, Sidcup, Travel News, Westcombe Park, Woolwich
The public are reminded please only use public transport if your journey is absolutely essential.
Passengers will temporarily only be able to enter via the centre doors of buses from Monday as part of Transport for London's efforts to help combat coronavirus. This will improve safety for bus drivers and critical workers enabling better social distancing.
Following the trial on nine routes to ensure of its safety, TfL is confident the low number of people can keep a safe distance when entering and exiting through the same door. A survey has shown the number of people on buses has plummeted around 85%.
During this period where entry is through the middle doors, passengers will not be required to touch in. Customers should not approach the card reader near the driver's cab.
TFL is also exploring what more can be done to create a completely sealed partition between drivers and passengers that allows for both communication and ventilation.

The title of this article incorporates a joke, which pokes fun of the fourth seen from the Symphonie Fantastique. The Symphonie Fantastique is one of the greatest compositions that should be on everyone's list of favorites. Hector Berlioz was way ahead of his time when he composed this masterpiece. There are many aspects that one could enjoy from this piece. From this score, Berlioz became the first to write an autobiographical composition, which told the story of his life through a symphony. He was the first to implement the Idee Fixe (fixed idea) that became the forefront of this composition and weaved in and out of each movement and connected his ideas and thoughts. Because this melody was so prominent, it allowed him to become much more creative with his choices of chords and progressions and take what was known about theory and compose to a whole other level.
Before we go into length and dissect this wonderful piece, please allow me to give a small background of this wild and crazy guy. Hector Berlioz (born December 11th, 1803 in a small town in France and died 1869) was not born a prodigy, and he did not know much about playing an instrument either. He knew a little flute, clarinet, flageolet, and he could strum a few chords on the guitar, but by no means was he a virtuoso at any of these instruments.
Hector Berlioz's father was a doctor and wanted Hector to become one as well. He sent him to study and become a doctor but, when he saw the sight of a dead corpse that a friend of his had bought to work on for a class he basically got sick and quit the whole medical concept. His father grudgingly gave Hector the money to study music, but he said he would stop paying for the music school that he was to study at and any lessons that he was supposed to take if he didn't do well. His father didn't like "second-rate" people.
One day, Hector had seen a Shakespearian play that employed an actress by the name of Harriet Smithson (1800-1854). He quickly became madly in love with her. So much, that one would say he was crazed or obsessed! Eventually he married Harriet Smithson, and thus the Idee Fixe (the fixed idea) and unifying element was written to describe her through within the five movements of the Symphonie Fantastique.
What sets this music apart as a Romantic piece rather than a Classical period piece is that it was programmatic in nature. In other words, it told a story with the music. It also incorporates expressive musical content, expresses complex emotions and paints pictures. There was literacy involved with this piece. It included a program (almost like a libretto) that described what each movement was supposed to sound like and what was happening to the characters. The orchestra was bigger; it contained longer melodies, stronger harmonies. In the Classical era, form shapes the expressive content. In the Romantic period expressive content shaped the form. Being the very sure Frenchman that he was, Hector Berlioz wanted his own sound. He wanted the instruments themselves to supply the meaning of the text, rather than the voice. This makes the music become a bit more abstract than it ever has. He started this piece in 1829 and finished it in 1830 (which was the year he graduated from the conservatory where he studied musical composition).
It is fun to listen to how the Idee Fixe (fixed idea) changes upon the mood swings he feels about her. The first movement is entitled the "Reveries and Passions." Here the Idee Fixe is introduced. It is hauntingly beautiful in nature and expresses the love that the "artist" (himself) feels for the subject (Harriet Smithson). The second movement is entitled "The Ball." This piece has a three over four time signature (waltz) and describes a dance. But what is outstanding in this movement is that the Idee Fixe becomes this intertwined, in a back and fourth type of idea that gives the impression that he is thinking of her even when he is dancing at the ball – trying to forget her. If one were to think on a deeper level, one might think that this represents conscious and unconscious of ones self. The third movement is entitled, the "Scene in the Country." He begins to have doubts about her love. The music becomes stormier and the psyche develops a feeling of "she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not." This music happens to be pretty close to Sonata form. It has somewhat of a exposition, followed by a development section, which is followed by the recapitulation section. This movement ends with a sigh from the violins as if to say, she loves me not and all hope of her loving him is dashed away. The fourth movement is entitled, "The March of the Scaffold." The character takes a strong dose of opium (a hallucinogenic), which made him have these strange dreams. He dreamt that he killed his beloved. He also dreamt that he witnessed his own death that was done by an execution. He was led to the scaffold by cart, through the streets. The people who witnessed this (during this movement) threw tomatoes and other rotten vegetables at him. During this movement one of the most famous descriptive moments in music happens, when he gets to the chopping block, he has one more thought of his beloved. This is interpreted again by the Idee Fixe, which is performed by a solo clarinet. Suddenly, (interrupted) the blade comes smashing down, WHAM! The head is chopped off and is demonstrated by three plunks by the violins, in an eerie descending fashion.The fifth movement is entitled, "The Dream of the Witch's Sabbath." He sees himself amidst ghosts and monsters that are laughing at him, poking fun at him and teasing him. Now, the theme (the Idee Fixe) becomes evil sounding. This represents that his beloved is now shown as an evil, wart-bearing witch. She does a cruel gig, played by the upper register of an Eb clarinet. This is shrill like, and adds to the texture and picture of this evil and degrading moment. Now, he does not desire her love nor does he want her by his side anymore.
Yes, folks it is like seeing his life before your very eyes. How dramatic! How crazy and insane! How wonderful!
Wow... I learned a lot about Berlioz. Good work!

Drunk Driver Kills in Crash
A New York Criminal Lawyer reports about a fatal accident which occurred on Monday morning on Interstate 30. This crash has claimed the lives of a loving father and left a family devastated. It has also seen the wrong way driver locked up behind bars, and severe damage to the highway which will need to be repaired.
The driver responsible for the accident has apologized for killing the man and being irresponsible by driving when drunk.
The New York Criminal Lawyer said that the police were alerted about the drunk driver at 2:30 AM. 911 calls to the police department reported that the driver was traveling on the wrong side of the road.
A few minutes after these reports, the car crashed into a tanker truck. The driver of this truck – a father – lost his life.
The drunk driver has escaped with nothing more than a few stitches over the top of his eye. However, he feels guilty that he has caused a family such a tragic loss. DWI is considered a serious crime in jurisdictions like Manhattan and Queens.
The truck driver phoned his wife a couple of hours before the accident. He said that he only had a few more delivers that he needed to do before he would come home.
The court reports, obtained by the New York Criminal Lawyer, state that the drunk driver remembers drinking at least 10 beers. However, he doesn't actually remember getting behind the wheel. He said that nobody could have stopped him from getting into the car.
He also has no memory of getting onto the interstate, and he doesn't remember driving the wrong way down the highway.
The accident caused a fireball. This was frightening for onlookers and also caused extensive damage to the road. The heat warped metal supports under a bridge. It's expected that repairs can take around five months to complete. It will take so long to complete because the steel beams need to be manufactured from scratch, and a new concrete road will need to be laid on top.
Two lanes on the westbound carriageway are due to re-open on Monday night. However, the rest of the lanes will remain out of operation for quite some time. This goes to show that drunk driving has serious consequences for everyone
If you are charged with drunk driving then you should hire a New York Criminal Attorney. A New York Criminal Attorney will reduce the chances of you getting penalty points or a fine. The Office of Stephen Bilkis and Associates can offer you support and guidance as well as a free consultation when you contact us at 1-800-NY-NY-LAW.

Capital Live - It's Beastly in Eastleigh, but Brian May is busking at St Pancras to save the tiger
Morning London, yes, you read that right. Tories beaten into third place by UKIP - analysis by Joe Murphy later - and it is a cold, miserable day in London. I don't know about you, but to me the last three months have felt like the middle film of the LOTR trilogy - a battle against an unending tide of damp Orcs. Still, there is a bright spot on the horizon, Brian May will be busking at St Pancras later to save the tiger. At least the Queen got him off her roof.

Merrimac sits on the Merrimack river abutting the southeastern border of New Hampshire. Settled by the English in 1638 as a part of Salisbury and later as a part of Amesbury around the village of Merrimacport, it was known throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as an agricultural and fishing community, with a small amount of shipbuilding. When Amesbury separated from Salisbury in 1666, Merrimac was referred to as the West Parish of Amesbury, or simply West Amesbury, although it was unincorporated.It was incorporated on April 11, 1876, and became a manufacturing center. This town center features brick buildings and Victorian architecture of the late nineteenth century. The following list of houses built during the Colonial era is from listings on the MACRIS site, and includes photos from the Merrimac Patriot Properties database. Thanks to Alexander R. Cain for additional information.
33 Church Street. The front of this house dates to the Federal era, but the rear ell shown here dates to 1671 by local tradition.
81 Church Street. The date of construction is not available.
Although the MACRIS site lists the date of construction as 1756, the owner has documented it back to 1730 and believes that some of the structural features may suggest a date between 1700-1730.
5 Pine St. The house is said to have been constructed in 1694, but is not listed on the MACRIS site.
MER.5, Sawyer, Capt. John House, Locust St, c 1750. Capt.John Sawyer married Elizabeth Kelly (1727-1794) on April 3,1746 and shortly thereafter built the Sawyer homestead (circa 1750) on"land acquired from Jonathan Clement. This homestead remained in the Sawyer family for approximately 175 years, Addie F. Sawyer (widow of Charles E.) being the last of the direct descendants to live here (1924).
MER.1, Kindrick, John House, 59 Locust St, c 1760. On June 11, 1763, John Kindrick purchased 44 acres of land with buildings thereon from Thomas Fowler for 404 jf. In 1?65 John sold 20 acres from the northerly portion of this property to John Sawyer, reserving the remainder "where I now dwell". On May 28, 1786, John Kindrick II sold his half-share in his father's estate to his brother Seth, the homestead remaining in the Kendrick family until about 1900. (Over the years the family name Kindrick became Kendrick.) Architecturally this center chimney building is Georgian with four large front rooms (two up, two down), and a kitchen in the rear with smaller bedrooms above. The front entrance hall has a well proportioned three run stairway with early federal wainscoting and railing. Of particular interest is a smoke chamber complete with lug pole and hooks which is observed through a small door half way up the stairs.Examination of the cellar walls reveals them to be constructed of split native field stone. A brick arch, reinforced by a central field stone pier, supports the huge central chimney. The attic shows the roof frame of hewn oak.
MER.4, Clement, Jonathan House, 34 River Rd, 1734. This "salt box" was built by Jonathan Clement in 1734. Jonathan was born Jan. 1, 1695, the son of Fawne Clement, who was a prosperous shipbuilder of Newbury. In March 1718, Fawn deeded a large tract of land in Jamaco (200 acres) to his son, – a farm which was bounded "by the Great River" on the south and on the north by "the road to Haverhill". In 1721, Jonathan married Mary Greenleaf of Newbury. They settled on this farm, first in a small house which was replaced by the present one thirteen years later. Today this residence sits on an embankment at the foot of Locust St. hill with Its southerly exposure overlooking River Road and the Merrimack River. There is a large central chimney and a six paneled central door surmounted by a triangular pediment.
MER.9, Sargent, Stephen House, 60 River Rd, c 1775. One hundred yards west of Jamaco Point on the north side of River Road stands a well-preserved colonial homestead owned prior to 1780 by Stephen Sargent. The home was acquired by Isaac Hughes in 1869 and remained in the same family until sold by Mrs. Bigelow to Milton Smith in 1960. The original house bears the hallmarks of the Georgian period of architecture (1725-1800) including a steeply pitched roof, a center chimney, and a pedimented doorway. In 1936 an old cooper's shop, originally located at the end of the driveway, was moved into position between the east end of house and west end of barn. This area was converted into a new large kitchen and family room. The latter section was finished off with raised paneling and a ship's type staircase brought from the Morse house in South Groveland. The interior of this house presents eighteenth century amenities, with wide pine floor boards, six fireplaces, and a beehive oven in the original kitchen.
MER.29, Sargent, Josiah House, 98 River Rd, c 1754. The Sargent family was among the first settlers of this river community, and they were fairly prominent in their chosen fields. One branch of the family, headed by Josiah Sargent, settled on the northern side of River Road about 1754, building a home which later was known as the Eastman house, and was located just below the "River Village" store. The house was located originally on 35 acres of farm land. This is probably the oldest house in what was known as the "Sharper's Corner" area.
MER.45, Chase, Dea. James House, 105 River Rd, 1775. This colonial, saltbox (circa 1775) for many years was occupied by the Chase family who operated the pottery next door. Deacon James Chase (1778-1849) took over the handcrafted pottery business after his uncle, William Pecker (1758-1820) was killed in the collapse of one of his kilns. Following the Deacon's death, his son, Phineas, (1820-1911) continued the pottery at the same site until 1863 when he sold the land to the South Amesbury Wharf Co. and moved to High Street to his new home and shop.
MER.51, Stevens, Dea. Thomas House, 117 River Rd, 1702. This house is one of the oldest in the River Village, being built circa 1702 by Thomas Stevens who was a very prominent citizen in this community. From 1684 to 1724 he served 17 years as a selectman and was twice elected representative from the Town of Amesbury. In March of 1728 he was chosen a deacon of the Second Church of Christ, established two years previously in the West Parish. In 1712 Thomas Stevens, Sr. deeded this property to his son Thomas, Jr. who also became a distinguished citizen, being active during the French and Indian War, serving at Crown Point under Capt. Stephen Sargent (1755) and as a lieutenant in the Lake George campaign (1756). This house is architecturally significant and scenically located at the confluence of the Merrimack River and Cobbler's Brook (Patten's or Sargent's Creek). It was here that the old bridge crossed the brook to Clapboard Landing, for many years an important local shipping center for river traffic. This colonial house has a central front door and a central hallway. Two chimneys originally accommodated fireplaces in each of the eight rooms, four of which remain functioning today. The windows are symmetrically placed, multi-paned 9/6 both upstairs and down. Within, the fireplace walls are paneled; there are gunstock corner posts, wainscoting, and pine flooring. One unusual feature is the brick noggin in the outside walls throughout the house.
The MA Historical Commission does not list any historic houses on either of those roads, but their list is incomplete. Please reply with the street addresses. There is a First Period Davis house on Merrimac Rd in Haverhill but I can't find a listing for a Heath house at all.

Nils Paul Axelsson Kindberg, född 30 augusti 1892 i Stockholm, död 3 maj 1984, var en svensk militär (överstelöjtnant), flyghistoriker och flygpionjär.

Kindberg började som underlöjtnant vid Södermanlands regemente, han kommenderades till Malmen 1914 för att genomgå flygutbildning. Han tilldelades aviatördiplom nr 25 30 mars 1915. Han anställdes hösten 1917 som provflygare vid AB Thulin Aeroplanfabrik  eftersom aktieägarna ansåg att det var för riskabelt att Enoch Thulin själv genomförde alla provflygningar. År 1918 flög Kindberg en Thulin Parasol från Umeå till Finland där planet överlämnades till det finländska flygvapnet som en gåva från Eric von Rosen. På hösten samma år genomförde han den första svenska charterflygningen i Sverige på sträckan Stockholm-Åbo. Han blev kapten vid Flygvapnet 1929, under åren 1934–1937 var han chef för flygstabens underrättelseavdelning. År 1942 gav överbefälhavaren Olof Thörnell honom uppdraget att nedteckna Flygvapnets beredskapshistorik.
När Flygvapnet bildades 1926 genom sammanslagning av arméns och flottans flyg skapade han 1926 vapenmärke m/26 för att markera att man tjänstgjorde i flygvapnet. Märket fastställdes som uniformsmärke genom generalorder nr 2400. Kindberg är begravd på Solna kyrkogård.
