Mark Owens' Story – Breaking Through
by David Hanscom | posted in: Stories of Hope, Uncategorized | 0
Mark Owens' Story
This is a video that we shot of Mark Owens, who wrote the Forward of my book. I'd like to give you some additional background to his story, both from his and my perspective. He is a PhD scientist who has spent his life addressing environmental issues. At age 29, driving a battered 3rd-hand Land Rover, he and his wife found their way into some of the most remote reaches of the Kalahari Desert of Botswana, and later, the Luangwa Valley of Zambia. There they conducted wildlife research on lions, elephants, hyenas and migrating antelope, and established model programs to protect these animals from commercial poachers while raising the living standards of indigenous people. After 23 years, he accomplished his vision, and his work still continues on through the structure he put into place and the local people he trained to carry it on. His story is reflected in his books, Cry of the Kalahari, The Eye of The Elephant, and Secrets of the Savanna .
Back in Idaho after more than two decades, he purchased and restored a large piece of land and its wetland in Idaho as a wildlife preserve for wolves, grizzlies and other wildlife. He also reversed much of the environmental damage done by indiscriminate ranching and logging practices. His commitment to making the world a better place is remarkable.
The horse accident, as he related in the Forward of my book, occurred while searching for grizzles on his ranch in the Cabinet Mountains of Montana, and his injuries were severe. A fractured spine represents severe trauma, but it isn't nearly as painful as a crushed chest wall. After the surgery, he developed severe chronic pain for over nine years. Why?
Here are some points that I want to add to his remarkable story of healing.
Although this was a major injury, the usual post-operative course for a fractured spine is moderate to severe pain for a couple of weeks and then it usually resolves in about six weeks. From a surgeon's perspective, he was the "ideal surgical candidate." He was extremely motivated to get better, which is true for almost everyone in pain. However, there were a few details that were missed, and no one asked him the right questions.
First, he was under a large amount of stress. He left Africa after corrupt government officials and poachers had plotted his assassination for the third time. And in Idaho, hunters and ranchers resented his conservation efforts on behalf of predators that they perceived as a threat to their domestic stock. Under less stress, it's unlikely he would have developed such severe chronic pain. He's really tough. Few people on this planet would have attempted what he accomplished in Africa.
Second, after he developed chronic pain from the first operation, a second one was performed to address degeneration at the lumbar 2-3 level just below his prior thoracic surgery. The surgeons performed a fusion with a known success rate of less than 30% for disc degeration. It has been well-documented that disc degeneration is not considered a source of pain.
Additionally, it has also been demonstrated that performing surgery in the presence of ongoing chronic pain of any kind, can induce pain at the new surgical site or worsen the pain at the surgical region. (1) His pain become dramatically worse.
Third, several surgeons had recommended surgically breaking his spine in two, re-aligning it and fusing him from his neck to his pelvis. One surgeon referred to the procedure as the "Blue Plate Special." If a one-level fusion had made him worse, what do you think a 12-hour procedure with a high complication rate would have done to him? From my perspective, the decision not to recommend surgery was easy. His spine showed disc degeneration that was normal for his age. There was nothing to operate on.
Fourth, although he was not without some hope, he was quite skeptical and he didn't really believe me that his pain was solvable, with or without surgery. The DOC project is not about believing in it or not. It is simply a framework that allows the patient to more clearly and readily sort out his or her scenario, and find a solution. The principles are universal and hold true regardless of how you feel about them. The key is to engage and move forward.
Fifth, his healing was dramatic, which many of my patients find discouraging because they don't have an immediate response. Most people don't, and I have observed that the process generally begins to create change over three to four months. Maybe one out of twenty people experience such a rapid response. The key is persistence.
Sixth, there are over 1000 research papers that document the effectiveness of expressive writing. (2) There is no debate that it improves mood, performance and lessens over 30 possible physical symptoms. The issue is how and why it works. Conversely, there is little evidence that a spine fusion is a solution for back pain. The success rate is less than 30% at two-year follow up and has never been compared to carefully structured non-operative care, such as the DOC program. (3) Unfortunately, insurances don't cover most of the treatments that have been demonstrated to work.
Finally, his life wasn't perfectly pain free after the initial healing. Unpleasant circumstances will cause your body to be full of stress chemicals, which increases the speed of nerve conduction and increases pain. (4) We worked through several major flare-ups together and eventually he acquired the skills to pull out of these flares on his own.
We have become close friends and we now support each other. Not only is he doing well over four years later, he's thriving. The cost of healing was negligible for him and society. The risk was zero. I feel privileged that I was able to give back what I learned through my own ordeal with chronic pain. Watching people connect with their own healing capacity continues to be a remarkable experience.

Reuters reports that video rental chain Blockbuster is at risk of filing for bankruptcy, and its shares plummeted 76% on the NYSE, leading to a suspension.
Blockbuster has struggled to adapt to the digital download world and its falling influence over Hollywood studios and the film-watching public.
Will anyone really be sorry to see Blockbuster go?


Fiji's Taxi Union is reminding people that taxis are luxury services.
The union has announced an increase of 2.5% in taxi fares from next year, attributed to the increase in VAT imposed by government.
It is also lobbying for another increase that if granted, would see the travelling public paying almost twice the current taxi fare charges.
The Union's general secretary Rishi Ram tells FBC News that the public is free to choose its own mode of transport.
He says people who can not afford them can use another mode of transport.


In the early years of Florida fruit shipping, the "old timers' would add a jar of their own orange blossom honey or homemade marmalades to "sweeten" the gift. Guess what? We still do exactly the same thing! Along with our gift of Florida fruit, each gift contains a box of the creamiest Coconut Patties, hand-dipped in milk chocolate, a jar of 100% pure Orange Blossom Honey and two jars of our exclusive Jelly and Marmalade. And, you'II still hear those familiar "Thank You's!" when they open their gift.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module. We define the small intersection graph $G(M)$ of $M$ with all non-small proper submodules of $M$ as vertices and two distinct vertices $N, K$ are adjacent if and only if $N\cap K$ is a non-small submodule of $M$. In this article, we investigate the interplay between the graph-theoretic properties of $G(M)$ and algebraic properties of $M$, where $M$ is a multiplication module.


Trefor and Moel Pen-Llechog from the level 1 drumhouse.
Tan y Graig means "under the rock"- a good description of this quarry. It is a place we have often glimpsed as we passed by on the A499, after visiting Trefor or one of the other granite quarries on this part of the Llŷn Peninsula.
Last week, we decided to take a closer look. It turned out to be a very enjoyable walk, not too taxing after a winter when we haven't been able to get out too much. But no amount of determined pedalling on the exercise bike prepares you for the real thing, slugging up a steep hill track, sun in your eyes and the freezing air biting your lungs- bliss...right?
Our starting point, the cycle track on the A499.
First view of the quarry from the road.
The nicely kept entrance to Rock cottage.
Footpath gate, with the inclines picked out in the low sunlight.
A whimsical waymarker at Rock Cottage.
The incline seems to have passed over the trackway here. According to the old maps, there were extensive tramways converging on the shore and a loading quay. sadly, most traces of the tramway have been absorbed by the landscape and the quay is only visible as a set of stumps below the waterline. It's confusing, as the old map marks at least three inclines, and all are visible in some form or another. I guess they were developed at different times. We passed an unusual structure which I feel may have been the powder store just before the track does a jink uphill to the right and starts to become steep.
Petra's photo showing the workings of Trefor in the distance- and the possible powder hut on the left of the track.
Soon, the path passes between shoulders of rock on either side- two of the inclines passed over the path at this point. Already, spectacular views were opening up below, notably the village of Trefor and it's small harbour, now bereft of the old stone loading quay which became unsafe a few years ago. We could make out the iron mine on the headland- and of course, the amazing structures on the hill belonging to the granite quarry. I've covered Trefor quarry in a couple of posts here.
First glimpse of the quarry lower level.
It was now a short pull to the first level of the quarry, where we left the coastal path as it forged determinedly inland. That might well be another walk, as there are the remains of a couple of farms and a vestigial manganese working along the path, but I digress.
The first of the double smithies that we encountered. No doubt keeping tools sharp was an important consideration in a granite quarry!
We'd seen some buildings as we climbed up, but the level looked even more interesting now we were there. There was a ruined structure slightly above and away from the main workings- it looked like a barracks, so we climbed up to photograph it first. We had a surprise, as it was a smithy, with two blacksmith's forges inside. It was built into the hill at the rear- I can't imagine there would be problems getting the fires to draw up here- the view from the door was amazing. We could see all the way back to Caernarfon and then along the west coast of Anglesey to Holy Island and Holyhead mountain. A ferry was coming out on it's journey to Dublin.
Our first view of the level one forges and office.
Back on the first quarry level we took stock of the buildings and found another pair of forges, attached to what looked like an office. Since the other, upper forges were in better condition, I surmised these lower ones were older. I wonder why they weren't upgraded instead of building a new structure? Further along the level revealed a ruined drumhouse for an incline nestled in against the rock face. I would guess that this was the earliest part of the quarry and that this was the original incline.
The first drumhouse on the lowest level.

Further along the level and some quarrymen's shelters were placed behind another drumhouse. A short incline climbed up to another level and we set off up it to see what we might find. This level sat upon the 700 foot contour- yet for such a small elevation, the views were surprising. This looked to be where the proper quarrying was done- the rock was split and blasted away from the mountain and lay about in a haphazard manner. There were working shelters, ruins without roofs where men would chip away at the stone, fashioning cobbles and blocks with a hammer. Things were beginning to remind me of Penmaenmawr, especially the deep heather covering the floor of the quarry and the elevation.
The drumhouse at the north end of the first level. A single sheave, perhaps? There looked to be no sign of a companion wall. We took the sheep path up the short incline to the next level above.
Quarrymen's shelters behind the level 2 drumhouse.
Towards the north end of this level a newer range of structures beckoned. By 1913 Tan y Graig Quarry had turned it's production over to roadstone, crushing the stone on site and then sending it down to the quay -as at Penmaenmawr. But here, there was another quarry a couple of hundred yards to the north- a quarry that had a ropeway to the sea. This was Tyddyn Howell, an intriguing site, although one that is almost impossible to access today. As far as I can tell, a new incline built between 1914 and 1920 was below this position- the tramway from this incline went to the yard at SH3955047225. Theres a strange right-angle turn at SH3932447009,marked as a tramway on the 1914 revision of the OS...it must have been a brutal corner!
The isolated drumhouse that took the granite down to the Tyddyn Howell quay. On the old 1914 map the route is quite clear, but there's no trace of it today.
We could see from the drumhouse on this level, another structure below, a drumhouse with all the wire intact- again, very difficult to access due to land slips. On our upper level, there were more structures - yet another pair of forges and a compressor house, with concrete foundations and holding bolts for machinery. There were sections of pipe lying about which I assumed must have been for compressed air, for the later type of rock drills employed. The structures here were a mixture of cast concrete and granite, showing their relatively modern origins.

Quenching tank for the forge.
An old cart used for some reason in a wall...makes a nice contrast with the hills behind.
A big water tank...there's another above the roof of the compressor house.
We set off back, fairly tired after the climb. Coming down, we could make out a square building near the old incline below...this was puzzling, given the location, at a crossing of the two inclines. We left the track to explore, climbing a bank of what looked like fairly new chippings and along to the junction at SH3906346604. After a major skirmish with brambles and a few cuts, we found some quarrymen's shelters and the square structure, which seemed to be a water tank, immediately in front of a set of concrete bases for a machine. Other bases were littered around. Jeremy Wilkinson lists this as part of the National sett quarry. At first I thought perhaps this was associated with what seemed to be a small pit to seaward here, but later I reasoned that it was probably a working area near the base of the inclines where stone could be worked and crushed.

Closer view of the Powder Hut.
It may well be worth coming back when the days are longer to check out the prehistoric cairns on the slopes of Gyrn Ddu and the ancient settlement. I will, of course, report it here if we do. We did make one last interesting find as we trudged back to the car, the remains of Tan y Graig farm, a building of some antiquity, now ruined at the base of the hill. It was awkwardly sited for photography and difficult to explore -as the farmer had a penchant for dumping dead sheep in it. Petra braved one rather recent corpse to get a shot of the fireplace. Not a pleasant place- although it could have been, as the ruins were fascinating- but the foul smell drove us off.
Tan y Graig farm...a place of some antiquity with those tiny windows.
A strange dry stone relic in the farmyard.
Tan y Graig quarry was operated in one form or another from the mid 1800s until 1880, when it fell into disuse. In 1913 it was re-opened and worked until 1937 at the northern end, when it was working in conjunction with Tyddyn Howell.


Blonde Warrior's trainer, Hugo Palmer.
Blonde Warrior can get his 2019 campaign off to a perfect start in the Dubai Duty Free Full Of Surprises Handicap at Newbury.
Hugo Palmer's charge was talked of as a potential Classic contender after winning two of his first three juvenile outings last year, posting comfortable victories at Yarmouth and Doncaster before making the leap to Group Two company at Goodwood.
The Zoffany colt found that assignment beyond him, though, coming home a well-beaten eighth in what appeared to be a sound renewal of the Vintage Stakes.
Given a break following that disappointment, Blonde Warrior only just failed to sign off with a win on the all-weather last September – beaten a neck by Fox Coach in a conditions event. He was conceding weight all round that day, so Blonde Warrior deserves plenty of credit and shapes as though he will improve further for another step up in trip this year.
Blue De Vega has fallen to his lowest-ever mark, and it could be dangerous to rule him out of the Dubai Duty Free Handicap.
Third in the Irish 2000 Guineas three years ago, Blue De Vega has been plying his trade as a sprinter since joining Robert Cowell at the end of 2017.
While he has triumphed only once in 18 starts for his current trainer, Blue De Vega has shown flashes of ability and was not disgraced when beaten only four lengths in 10th in a highly competitive Catterick heat at the end of last year.
Rated as high as 110 in his pomp, Blue De Vega is now on a perch of 91 and has a couple of bits of form in the book which suggest he could come good when everything falls right.
Headman is the pick in the Dubai Duty Free Golf World Cup British EBF Conditions Stakes after two fine all-weather efforts at the back-end of last year.
Hailing from the family of Flintshire, this Kingman colt was sent off odds on to make a winning debut at Newcastle – and he obliged in style, cruising home in a novice event once the penny had dropped.
He had to settle for second next time behind Classic hope Zakouski – but as he was giving him 7lb and was only beaten two lengths, it certainly was not a bad effort.
Roger Charlton pitches him in over 10 furlongs here, but there is every reason to think that should be well within his compass.
Festival Of Ages has been acquitting himself well on the all-weather and can make a smooth transition to turf in the Compton Beauchamp Estates Ltd Silver Bar Handicap.
Beaten in two Fast Track Qualifiers on his two most recent starts, Charlie Appleby's runner will not lack for fitness and has shown ability in two previous turf outings.
Probability can bring up her hat trick in the 32Red.com Handicap at Kempton.
The three-year-old is on a roll now, winning three of her last four starts for Archie Watson – with front-running tactics really bringing out the best in her.
Directory took a bit of time to find his groove for James Fanshawe – but after getting his head in front a couple of times last year, he could make a victorious return in the 32Red Handicap.
Previously trained in France, he did not strike gold until his sixth outing in Britain, but then became a model of consistency, and may pick up again where he left off.
Tommy Silver can take a starring role on the first day of the Scottish National meeting at Ayr.
He lines up in the Hillhouse Quarry Handicap Chase on the back of a recent Ludlow success and should thrive on the likely good ground.
His fellow Paul Nicholls inmate Romain De Senam can also claim a slice of glory for the Ditcheat team in Fontwell's Neil Madgwick Memorial Sponsored By Family&Friends Handicap Chase.
AYR: 1.50 Getaway Trump, 2.20 Fairway Freddy, 2.55 Sam's Adventure, 3.25 Tommy Silver (treble), 4.00 Niven, 4.30 Yeats Baby, 5.05 From Eden.

FinCEN Issues Advisory on Human Rights Abuses Enabled by Corrupt PEPs and Their Financial Facilitators
By Beth Moskow-Schnoll, William J. Burton & Evan W. Krick on June 18, 2018
Posted in Beneficial Ownership, Bribery, Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Real Estate, Suspicious Activity Report (SAR)
On June 12, 2018, FinCEN issued an "Advisory on Human Rights Abuses Enabled by Corrupt Senior Foreign Political Figures and their Financial Facilitators" to highlight the connection between corrupt senior foreign political figures and their enabling of human rights abuses. The Advisory provides examples of potential red flags to aid financial institutions in identifying the means by which corrupt political figures and their facilitators may move and hide proceeds from their corrupt activities – activities which, directly or indirectly, contribute to human rights abuses and other illegal activity.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) issued Recommendation 12 in June 2013 to address the risks posed by politically exposed persons (PEPs), and that Recommendation has been implemented through FinCEN rules and guidance. Thus, U.S. banks already are expected to have in place risk-based policies, procedures and processes regarding PEPs, including conducting enhanced due diligence. Nonetheless, FinCEN issued this Advisory to "further assist" U.S. financial institutions' efforts to detect and report foreign PEP facilitators' use of the U.S. financial system to "obscure and launder the illicit proceeds of high-level political corruption."
The Advisory highlights the following three key "typologies" financial facilitators of PEPs often use: (i) the misappropriation of state assets (such as through offshore leasing companies to sell oil – a topic on which we repeatedly have blogged, including here and here); (ii) the use of shell companies to conceal ownership and disguise the true source of illegal proceeds (again, a topic on which we repeatedly have blogged, including here); and (iii) the exploitation of the real estate sector to launder "ill-gotten gains" (a topic on which we repeatedly have blogged, including here and here). More importantly, the Advisory identifies the following red flags associated with corrupt foreign PEPs and their facilitators:
Use of third parties in situations where that is unusual;
Use of third parties to mask the identity of a PEP;
Use of a PEP's family member or colleague as a legal owner;
Use of shell companies and legal arrangements to mask ownership, industries, or countries related to the transaction;
The PEP or facilitator provides information that appears to be untrue;
The PEP or facilitator attempts engage a financial institution or a designated non-financial business or profession (DNFBP), such as a real estate agent, dealer in precious metals, attorney, accountant or company formation agent, that would normally not provide services to a PEP;
The PEP or facilitator repeatedly moves money to and from countries other than his or her own;
The PEP or facilitator has access to state funds;
The PEP or facilitator has control over the financial institution or DNFBP that is a party or a correspondent in a transaction;
The transaction involves government contracts that do not appear to make sense, such as "payments for construction projects directed to textile merchants;"
Transactions involving government contracts that are coming from or going to shell companies;
Suspicious documentation, such as invoices with inflated prices or that lack pricing information;
Payments for government contracts that originate from non-governmental entities; and
"Transactions involving property or assets expropriated or otherwise taken over by corrupt regimes, including individual senior foreign officials or their cronies."
Of course, one red flag does not necessarily indicate suspicious activity. It should be viewed in the context of other facts, including the customer's transactional history and whether other red flags are present. If suspicious activity is detected, a financial institution must file a SAR. FinCEN previously issued Guidance (in 2008) on filing SARs regarding the proceeds of foreign corruption. And a related SAR Activity Review discusses what transactions may involve the proceeds of corruption.
If a SAR is filed, FinCEN expects that financial institutions will select SAR filed 35(l) (Suspected Public/Private Corruption (Foreign)) and reference this Advisory by including the key term: "Financial Facilitator FIN-2018-A003" in the SAR narrative and SAR field 35(z) (Other Suspicious Activity – Other) to indicate a connection between the suspicious activity being reported and the persons and activities highlighted in this Advisory.
Although some of the red flags provided in FinCEN's latest Advisory require an analysis no different than what a financial institution already conducts for activity outside the political realm (e.g., the use of shell companies), many of the red flags relate to information that is at least somewhat unique to PEPs. For example, to identify all of the red flags above, financial institutions would need an understanding of:
The identity of the PEP's senior officials, family members, close associates and "cronies";
What is (and is not) an "official government entity";
The level of authority the PEP has over state assets, and his or her ability to access those assets; and
What property and assets have been expropriated by the PEP or those close to him or her.
The expectation that the financial institution understands all of these complicated issues raises the stakes for any entity involved in transactions with a PEP.

Justification: This project directly supports the comprehensive plan goal to provide adequate public facilities and to support cost-effective and environmentally conscious delivery of municipal programs and services.
Concurrency is a legislatively enacted growth management tool for ensuring the availability of adequate public facilities and services to accommodate development.

I promised those who were interested in the actual assessment that I'd share it this week.
Just to give a little context, a friend had posted on Facebook asking for someone to recommend a magazine designer.
I know a fantastic graphic designer who has the skills necessary to design a magazine, but depending on my friend's requirements, he might or might not be a good fit.
So… I asked some leading questions, trying to determine whether to recommend my designer, figuring at least if I couldn't recommend someone, others reading the post thread would have more information to jog their thinking with.
Did she want her magazine to be online, in print or both?
Did she want to design her magazine online or upload a PDF that was displayed in an online reader?
Did she want flexibility in her design (for enhanced creativity) or did she want a template she could work from (for ease of use)?
Did she want just text and images in her magazine or other types of content like video, MP3 and ecommerce options?
The important thing to note here is that the tools I reviewed aren't just for magazines. They can be used to create any kind of online book. For example, a brochure or catalogue.
Or, if you have a PDF that you want to make available to read online on your website, it provides an attractive reader for it instead of just simply opening the PDF itself. This could potentially allow you to grow your mailing list by granting access to the content, without actually giving them a PDF that could be freely shared with others.
One of the tools in particular also enables you to integrate a shopping experience into the PDF itself, meaning that someon could click on an item they're interested in, get more product information and see the price, then add it to a shopping cart and purchase it.
As a publisher, I can see many possible uses for that, including a sleek edition of my catalogue that would be embeddable on my Facebook page and website as well as shareable in social media. Nice!
Anyway, what follows is my unedited review of the platforms she was curious about, and my reasons for making the final recommendation I did.
From there, you can export what you create into a PDF for printing else where. You can also save it as a JPG or PNG (not too certain of the value of that for something that's multiple pages!), share it on social media and embed it on your site.
It does allow real-time collaborations, so you could have more than one person on your team working on it at a time. But I don't know how relevant that is to you.
It also offers a revision history of the magazine (possibly not of interest to you) and analytics (which should always be of interest).
Since it encourages "saving on printing costs" by sharing your publication, I am curious as to how well it handles PDF creation, but that's one of those things I'd have to test out to know for certain.
I will say that as soon as people start telling me there are templates, it says that they're targeting a DIY audience.
That's not a bad thing, but the problem with templates is that it limits your ability to be creative.
So, next to look at FlipSnack and a competitor that I found this morning, Publitas. Both take a PDF you've designed and convert it to an online publication for you. You can then embed that publication on your website and Facebook page. Social sharing is enabled and analytics are available (although depending on your pricing plan, it my only be available for the past few months).
However, I'm leaning more toward Publitas than FlipSnack.
It emphasizes making its product light, meaning that it loads fast and that their focus is on maximizing your page's display, without adding a heavy frame or navigation to it. If you take a look at their examples, you'll see what I mean. (I just like the look and feel of the Publitas version more).
Since this publication is intended to be part of your business model, understanding how you're going to monetize it is important, and Publitas makes that the easiest to do. You can sell tickets to your next event or course, include affiliate or JV partner resources, etc. directly within the publication.
So, that would be my recommendation. I like its look and feel, ease of use, flexibility, and capabilities.
However, since both FlipSnack and Publitas take a PDF as its source, you could always test them out from the same source and see which one appeals to you more from that standpoint.
I know there's a lot here, but hopefully, it helps you to make your decision. For what it's worth, it's also highly rated on Alternative.to, when you look for alternatives to Issuu.
With all of the features that are available using tools like these, how might you integrate something like this into your business? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
How many times have you had an idea that doesn't move forward because you're caught in the bottleneck of a decision? Feel free to pick my brain and I can help you in the exact same way.

U.N. rights chief accuses Eritrea of torture, killings
By Robert Evans
GENEVA | Mon Jun 18, 2012 9:03am EDT
(Reuters) – United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay accused on Monday gold-rich Eritrea, which holds a strategic stretch of the Red Sea coast, of carrying out torture and summary executions.
Pillay told the U.N. Human Rights Council there were between 5,000 and 10,000 political prisoners in the secretive African nation of some 6 million people which has been ruled by a single party and president since independence from Ethiopia in 1993.
"The human rights situation in Eritrea is a matter of deep concern," said Pillay, a South African former senior judge on the International Criminal Court in The Hague, who has just had her four-year term extended for a further two years.
"Credible sources indicate that violations of human rights include arbitrary detention, torture, summary executions, forced labor, forced conscription, and restrictions to freedom of movement, expression, assembly and religion," she said.
Eritrea, where former anti-Ethiopia guerrilla leader Isaias Afewerki has been head of state for nearly two decades, is rarely mentioned in the 47-nation council, where African and Asian countries often work to shield each other from criticism.
But responding to Pillay's remarks on Monday, a European Union representative said the 27-nation grouping backed Pillay's comments on the Red Sea state — whose population is mainly Christian but includes a large Muslim minority.
Thousands of people have fled Eritrea in recent years because of poverty and political repression, according to human rights groups. Many have settled in neighboring Sudan, and some have reached Israel and Western Europe.
Independent human rights groups say the country has one of the world's most repressive governments, an accusation Eritrean officials reject, arguing that the country is the target of a foreign smear campaign backed by the United States.
Eritrea fought a border war with Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000 which killed 70,000 people on the two sides and occasional clashes have flared up since with both accusing each other of supporting armed rebel groups.
In April, Ethiopia's President Meles Zenawi Afewerki accused Eritrea of abducting dozens of miners from his country's north-western gold region which borders an area where Eritrea' largely untapped reserves of the precious metal are located.
Pillay told the rights council that she had written to the Eritrean government in January this year with an offer to send a mission from her office by this month at the latest to help it address its "human rights challenges."
But despite later talks with an Eritream delegation in Geneva, she said, there had so far been no reply.

OBIT: Mr. David Rogers McCullough, Age 77, Of Lancaster, TN
By Editor | June 14, 2018
Mr. David Rogers McCullough, age 77, and longtime resident of Lancaster, TN, passed to his rest on June 12, 2018 at St. Thomas Hospital following a brief battle with lung cancer.
David was born April 16, 1941 in Dayton, OH, son of the late Campbell Rogers McCullough and Exia Drummond McCullough. He was also preceded in death by Sister; Dianne McCullough Agramonte.
He is survived by his friends and church family.
Always active in the community and often referred to by his friends as "the Mayor," Mr. McCullough was a baptized member and active evangelist of the Lancaster Seventh-Day Adventist Church where he regularly attended and functioned as Minister of Music for many years. He always enjoyed playing the piano for anyone who would listen, often sharing his musical talent with residents of the Pavilion Senior Living Center and at the Concordia Nursing and Rehabilitation in Carthage, TN.
Graveside Services and Interment for Mr. McCullough are scheduled to be conducted at the Lancaster Community Cemetery on Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 10am with Pastor Dennis Clark officiating. Friends will gather just prior to the graveside service.
We look forward to re-uniting with him when Jesus returns and resurrects the dead.
At David's request, in lieu of flowers, memorials gifts may be made to the Lancaster Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

I only remember that one engineer, named Heiselbeck. And neither can I remember where he was from. I only know that he left for England. Still in '38, or maybe in the beginning of '39. So he left soon. And these other surnames? I can't remember. The people who lived with us, they stayed until our departure. That is, the departure of mine, of the mother's and of my brother's took place in the beginning of June '39. Because the state officials received a secret – so to say – instruction to move their families from the border. That is, from all these towns in the borderland, deeper into the country. And it was neither in July, nor in August, as we would normally go for vacation, but as soon as June. So the school ended a bit earlier and we left to Września near Poznań already in June. Those were elderly people. People of old age. And religious. Kind. Spoke German. Parents spoke German, so there were no problems with understanding. They were, as I would say, really cultured people. They were religious, yes. But they wouldn't go the whole day, there were only, it seems, morning and evening prayers. And then in the room, they were all together, the door was locked, and the candle and so on. They were religious people. And we had no problems with them. In human relationships, absolutely not. I suppose they rather belonged to the wealthier ones. Or to the wealthy. The issue of food, I have no clue about that. They rather prepared it on their own, but anyways, the trucks arrived in the beginning. With bread and butter. The truck stood on Graniczna street or at the intersection – of Graniczna and the one that leads to the railway station. The ones who approached were given a loaf of bread. And some butter from a barrel. The barrels were full of that. Loads of people initially ate that way. Later there were the field kitchens. Where from? Where? How? I don't know. But I know that my father told me that it was the Committee to Aid Jews. And as far as I remember, the committee was local, established by the deportees, but there would always be somebody, I guess from Warsaw, to provide communication between various committees to aid. And I know that later on that committee would pay for the lodging.

Hedge Funds Have Never Been This Bullish On TELUS Corporation (TU)
Insider Monkey• June 26, 2019
Is TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) a good stock to buy right now? We at Insider Monkey like to examine what billionaires and hedge funds think of a company before doing days of research on it. Given their 2 and 20 payment structure, hedge funds have more incentives and resources than the average investor. The funds have access to expert networks and get tips from industry insiders. They also have numerous Ivy League graduates and MBAs. Like everyone else, hedge funds perform miserably at times, but their consensus picks have historically outperformed the market after risk adjustments.
Is TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) going to take off soon? Investors who are in the know are betting on the stock. The number of long hedge fund bets increased by 2 in recent months. Our calculations also showed that TU isn't among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
Hedge funds' reputation as shrewd investors has been tarnished in the last decade as their hedged returns couldn't keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. Our research has shown that hedge funds' small-cap stock picks managed to beat the market by double digits annually between 1999 and 2016, but the margin of outperformance has been declining in recent years. Nevertheless, we were still able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the market by 40 percentage points since May 2014 through May 30, 2019 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that underperformed the market by 10 percentage points annually between 2006 and 2017. Interestingly the margin of underperformance of these stocks has been increasing in recent years. Investors who are long the market and short these stocks would have returned more than 27% annually between 2015 and 2017. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 in our quarterly newsletter.

Let's review the new hedge fund action encompassing TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU).
Hedge fund activity in TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU)
Heading into the second quarter of 2019, a total of 13 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were long this stock, a change of 18% from the previous quarter. Below, you can check out the change in hedge fund sentiment towards TU over the last 15 quarters. So, let's find out which hedge funds were among the top holders of the stock and which hedge funds were making big moves.
TU_june2019
Among these funds, Renaissance Technologies held the most valuable stake in TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU), which was worth $210.2 million at the end of the first quarter. On the second spot was GLG Partners which amassed $35.9 million worth of shares. Moreover, D E Shaw, Arrowstreet Capital, and Millennium Management were also bullish on TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU), allocating a large percentage of their portfolios to this stock.
Consequently, key hedge funds have been driving this bullishness. PDT Partners, managed by Peter Muller, created the most outsized position in TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU). PDT Partners had $1.6 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Minhua Zhang's Weld Capital Management also made a $0.8 million investment in the stock during the quarter. The following funds were also among the new TU investors: Dmitry Balyasny's Balyasny Asset Management and George Zweig, Shane Haas and Ravi Chander's Signition LP.
Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU). We will take a look at Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE:PH), FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), Centene Corp (NYSE:CNC), and Verisk Analytics, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSK). All of these stocks' market caps match TU's market cap.
[table] Ticker, No of HFs with positions, Total Value of HF Positions (x1000), Change in HF Position PH,28,516590,-2 FE,41,3727862,2 CNC,58,2067914,2 VRSK,20,494091,-10 Average,36.75,1701614,-2 [/table]
View table here if you experience formatting issues.
As you can see these stocks had an average of 36.75 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $1702 million. That figure was $336 million in TU's case. Centene Corp (NYSE:CNC) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Verisk Analytics, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSK) is the least popular one with only 20 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks TELUS Corporation (NYSE:TU) is even less popular than VRSK. Hedge funds dodged a bullet by taking a bearish stance towards TU. Our calculations showed that the top 20 most popular hedge fund stocks returned 6.2% in Q2 through June 19th and outperformed the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by nearly 3 percentage points. Unfortunately TU wasn't nearly as popular as these 20 stocks (hedge fund sentiment was very bearish); TU investors were disappointed as the stock returned 0.2% during the same time frame and underperformed the market. If you are interested in investing in large cap stocks with huge upside potential, you should check out the top 20 most popular stocks among hedge funds as 13 of these stocks already outperformed the market so far in the second quarter.

DIY Drones Pose Problems for US Airspace Security
Written by Dabney B. on Tuesday, August 21st, 2012
Having the world's strongest military is nice and all, but the one major downside to innovating new weapons and technology is that you open up the gate for everybody else to follow. The first innovator has to be the one to pour billions of dollar into research, fumble with failed prototypes, and experiment with new engineering techniques. Once an inventor has done that, everybody else can basically copy the idea.
That may sound bitter, but that's not where I'm going with this. That's just how technology works — one guy has a great idea, and everybody else can make the same thing. The atomic bomb is a good example. Once the rest of the world realized that such a bomb was even possible, it wasn't long before scientists in other nations figured out how the US built the atomic bomb and engineered one of their own. Similarly, government analysts believe that a shot down F-117 Nighthawk was acquired by Russia and China, which they used to reverse engineer stealth technology.
Normally, military technology is prohibitively elaborate. A well-funded government might be able to steal technology and replicate it, but it's not like a guy working in a shed can construct a nuclear bomb or an aircraft capable of achieving Mach 3. Even something relatively simple, such as firearms, can be tough to make manufacture on your own.
Somewhat ironically, drones are becoming more and more accessible — almost dangerously so. Drones represent the latest and greatest in military aviation, but you don't have to have weapon's-grade uranium or $20 million to build one. All you really need is a few plane parts, an engine, and the type of remote control technology that you can order off of Amazon. If you wanted to, you could go build your own fully functional drone for less than the price of a used car.
That's simultaneously dangerous and liberating. On the one hand, that accessibility invites ingenuity and exploration. On the other, giving civilians access to military-grade remote technology can offer criminals and enemies of the state a perfect opportunity to cause mayhem. After buy tadalafil all, why should you bother hijacking a plane when you can just build your own, fill it with explosives, and remotely pilot it into the side of a building?
This probably sounds like I'm sensationalizing the problem to make a better story, but that's not really the case. Homemade drones are already a $100 million problem.
Mexican drug cartels have taken to building ultralight drones, which fly over the border into the US for a rendezvous. Last year, Customs and Border Protection detected 223 drone flights from Mexico to the US — and that's just the ones they know about. The US has been forced to scramble jets and put Black Hawk helicopters into the air to take down these planes, which are loaded to their maximum capacity with illegal drugs.
What makes the situation even trickier is that the US can't just shoot down these aircraft, even if we are reasonably certain that they are unmanned. At best, all we can do is follow the drones and attempt to intercept them when they land.
You see the problem? It isn't as though the US can really do anything to stop the proliferation of drone technology. Many drones are being built outside of America's sphere of influence, and even here on native soil there isn't a lot that the government can do about it. It isn't as though the government can put a ban on scrap metal, light internal combustion engines, and unregistered airfoils. These drones are kind of like Molotov cocktails — having gasoline, a bottle, a rag, and a lighter are all perfectly legal. It's only when you put them all together and throw it into a building that the government can suddenly do something about it.
So, how do you stop people from building these potentially dangerous aircraft? In this case, it looks like the US has its hands tied. They've opened Pandora's Box and the knowledge of drone technology is already out there. At this point, all we can really do is prepare ourselves for the inevitable, occasional unwelcome drone in US airspace.

Highway To Hell: THEY'RE RUNNING!
I missed last week's column because Washington Babylon had our own 2020 announcement to make. If you have not already heard, the 2020 race has a new, historic ticket. Petunia the Skunk and Bella Robinson are running together as President and Vice President, respectively. You can read all about their bold, campaign here.
Last time we looked at the highway to hell, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D) had announced her run with a exploratory committee sprint in Iowa, and the Republic of MAGA party is doing the primary version of cock-blocking so they can keep the King of Little Cocks in office. (Hmm, that was a little mean and unfair and it's probably better to just stick with facts. I'll try that again.) The Republican party is keeping their primary relatively closed so they can keep the racist, Donald Trump, in power and their privilege protected.
This week the Democratic Primary finally starts to grow into the big beautiful mess we all anticipated. Here is a complete line-up list with a few notes on each candidate.
Virginia State Senator Richard Ojeda: Ojeda is an interesting character to say the least. Coming off of a failed campaign for the United States House of Representative, the former state senator is making noise on social media by beating all the right progressive drums. However, he did vote for Trump in the 2016 election, and I do not see this as forgivable with #ImStillWithHer Clinton supporters. He is a war vet and he puts forth the alpha man bravado that Trump desperately tries to emulate. He is pro-labor and Medicare For All. The question will be will blue-all-the-way-through democratic voters find him believable. (Confession: I'd like to see him remain in race at least through the debates because he will definitely add spice to the mostly boring forum.)
Former US Representative John Delaney: Ok, Delaney should actually be in the first spot on our lineup list because he actually announced he was running in July of 2017; however, who cares? In all seriousness, Delaney understands that name recognition is important which is why he has been campaigning early. Delaney certainly can afford to campaign early with one of the highest net worth in Congress at 92.6B. No matter who Delaney tries to dress himself up as, at the end of the day he is the cookie-cutter model of the rich, white politician and is unlikely to inspire much of a following.
Senator Elizabeth Warren: Warren has progressive chops, but she also has a couple of tailspins in the past that might be hard for her to outrun. For instance, she runs some progressive anti-capitalist ideas but also publically claims "I am a capitalist." This sends a mix-message because capitalism itself grows from capitol created by big banks and Wall Street. It is very similar to Hillary Clinton touting a progressive environmental platform but also promoting fracking across the globe. Warren will have to show real teeth in her wealth inequality platform for her fight against the corrupt cronies to resonate.
U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard: I find Gabbard to be either be the most misunderstood or the most problematic of the "progressive" candidates. For some progressives, they are excited about her announcement but others bring up her anti-LGBTQ past. She seems to be that kind of candidate who is a great progressive, except when she's not. She's cozied up with Assad, voted for restrictions on refugees, does not see problems with referring to Islam as Radical Islam. I'd like to see how she moves forward in the race and how she handles tough questions, her constituents feel she avoids.
Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Julian Castro: This Castro *did* fall far from the revolutionary Castro tree. A former secretary in Obama's administration, it appears he will be the Obama candidate of 2020. He was briefly floated around as a potential vice-president for Hillary Clinton. There is not much controversy that surrounds him, but not much fire either. The 2020 race will demand a strong, fierce and fearless candidate, and Castro may fall short of that need.
U.S. Senator Kristen Gillibrand: Gillibrand is not afraid to take a bold stand, and that is definitely a trait that is needed to go toe to toe with Trump; however, it is exactly that reason that she will face pushback with the Democratic establishment and its loyal supporters. That is because she was very outspoken about the sexual harassment revelations regarding Al Franken. Gillibrand called for him to step down, which he did. She then received and still receives backlash for not staying silent in the face of a sexual harassment claim, which seem to be a selective cause for the democratic national party.
Last but certainly not least, US Senator Kamala Harris: From the recent coverage of Harris' announcement, it is evident that the talking heads feel she is the best bet to run against Trump, demonstrated in the saccharine and adulatory MSNBC video above. However, those endorsements are absent of progressive critics who take serious issue with her past as a prosecutor. She has ruled in favor of authoritative truancy laws and stood against reform that would allow non-violent second offenders released early in over-crowded prisons. More notable is her opposition from sex-workers and the sex-work industry. Falling in the conservative "trafficking" trap, Harris has repeatedly pursued charges against sites and publication that actually help sex workers advertise in a safe environment. It looks like Kamala is going to be pushed as the frontrunner by the democratic establishment and media and we will have a replay of a divided left in the primary.

I'm confused about the Gastroparesis diet I was given when diagnosed last fall because a bezoar was found in my stomach. The diet is very similar to the one that Mayo has posted under Gastroparesis. My first question is about vegetables. The diet says no raw vegetables (of course) but well cooked vegetables are okay.
But the next entry is to avoid fibrous vegetable such as broccoli.
Does this mean that I can't eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnip greens, spinach, green beans, etc. even if I cook them to death?
I was diagnosed about 5 years ago with gastroparesis and I eat cooked vegetables and smoothies with fruit. At least I can eat cooked vegetables.
So @doodle75bug you can eat cooked broccoli an Brussels sprouts and all those other veggies I mentioned?
I can eat broccoli, green beans, spinach and cabbage. I have not tried the other kind of vegetables.
I'm tagging @dorifg @kbelter @darlia @nanny23 @katmandoo @jlfisher56 @delicht @danybegood1 @robatk17 @citygirlannie as they've mentioned gastroparesis on Connect and may have some moreideas about diets and foods that help.
I've had gastroparesis for many years and vomit almost daily. Fat and red meat seem to make it worse. Small meals help. I'm having a new procedure next month-G-POEM. Google it. Not many hospitals are doing it yet. Best of luck!
Before pregnancy i was diagnosed with mild gastoperises. For a few months the vomiting and discomfort wouldn't go away. Then, it all got back to normal. But I lost a lot of weight and didn't recover.
A year later I was pregnant. Through everything was bc of the morning sickness, but ended up with a Nj tube and tpn.
After pregnancy the vomiting continue I was in very bad shaped. After a few studies with one of these hospital in the state the only thing they found wrong with me was how fast my stomach was emptying to the small bowel.
They called them dumping syndrome. But I don't have any symptoms of dumping syndrome. When it comes to diet I eat what I person with gastroperises eats. If I tried to follow a diet of a oedoja that has dumping syndrome I can really sick.
Meeting with my IG to discuss about coming to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion.
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis by doing a stomach emptying testing. I am going on 2 years with it and luckily no vomiting. My doctor wanted me to take gabepetin but I said no because of the side effects. She then recommended Iberogast. It is for stomach motility issues and so far it works. All natural. I buy it at a nutrition store like Vitamin Shop or GNC but this store is a locally owned one. You can get it on Amazon. I just add the drops to any liquid I drink with a meal. But I also don't overeat. I don't eat anything I shouldn't because I don't want besoars. And I drink Equate Plus with 13 grams of protein and vitamins and minerals. You can buy it at Walmart. It is the same as Ensure but cheaper and was recommended by a dietician. My over the counter vitamins are mostly gel caps to make it easier for my stomach to digest. I also get coughing spells after I eat so i chew a stick of sugar-less gum and it works! I hardly ever eat beef unless it ground beef. I cut most of the saturated fat out of my diet. And I started exercising. I have also found out that if you exercise or just walk for 10 minutes after you eat, it helps your stomach to process the food.
@suemer I also take Iberogast- especially with red meats. Makes a big difference. Getting mine through Amazon.
@@kanaazpereira and @suemer and @astaingegerdm and @coquifoife !!
I eat small amounts of food all day long like mentioned.
I don't take any medication for this.
I don't have vomiting very often. I'm so sorry for those of you who do.
I would love to hear more about what y'all eat!!!!!
I have type2 diabetes controlled by diet. I went from eating nuts and berries and celery and whole-wheat bread and beans and every kind of green vegetable imaginable to eating saltine crackers, canned peaches, cottage cheese, white bread, white rice, and mashed potatoes!
So from very high fiber very low carb to very low fiber very high carb. Amazingly my T2 is still under control. Probably because I eat so little.
I'm very excited to cook the heck out of some fresh broccoli!
Let me know what else you think is ok!
To all of those who would like a great way to cook your favorite veggies here is a method that I use for roasting veggies: I put my favorite veggies in the oven, sprinkle with olive oil and add some seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder, Mrs. Dash, etc. and then roast them at about 425 for 20 minutes or until they are tender. I tend to combine some of my favorite veggies like asparagus, onions, carrots, pieces of sweet potatoes, etc.
I find that roasting makes them more flavorful than steaming. If you give it a try, will you let me know what you think of this method? Also, I'd be interested in hearing about some of your favorite combinations.
While I do not have a DX of gastroparesis, I have had several upper digestive tract surgeries and my digestive tract seems to run at a different pace than prior to the surgeries.
I am most interested in knowing more about Iberogast. What exactly does it do for you? How has it helped?
I still eat chicken, fish, ground beef, etc. I have eliminated any lettuce, woody vegetables, any fruit skin. I still eat the fruit but it is applesauce instead of the apple. BUT one of the keys to getting your food to digest is to chew it waaaayyy more than you usually did before this. The saliva in your mouth helps break down the food along with the chewing.
I am pretty active taking care of my mentally handicapped son and my 88 year old mom so I often don't eat 6 meals a day. That is where the Equate Nutritional Shake comes in. 350 calories, 13 grams of protein and vitamins and minerals. I can tell you what I don't eat because I really do try to eat what isn't on the gastroparesis diet list. I cut saturated fat from my diet. I still occasionally eat ice cream but I've resorted to frozen yogurt. I don't eat any woody vegetables. Lots of days my vegetables are Low-sodium V8 juice. I find that if I eat too close to any meal, I won't have much of an appetite for the next meal. I always eat a good breakfast about 7am. Then an Equate about 9am. Lunch is about noon and if I have a big lunch my dinner is not large. Snack in the afternoon is about 2pm. Dinner is about 5:30pm. Nothing after about 6pm. I am sleeping on a 5" wedge under my mattress which helps alot! And I start out sleeping on my left side as the right side is a straight shot to your stomach and if your food hasn't digested which most of ours has not, it will cause distress, reflux, and coughing for me. I chew a piece of gum before I go to sleep. I got this tip from the internet and it works. I don't eat salads anymore. I peel all fruit or eat it from a can – no skins. No tomatoes unless they are skinned. No processed meats. No soft cheese. I keep my spicy food to a minimum if at all. If I am no hungry at dinner, I try to eat some of it and then supplement it with Equate. You can buy it at Walmart. Dietician told me it was same as Ensure only tastes better and is cheaper. I've tried Boost too and hated the taste. I also have a Smoothie King meal replacement whenever I feel like it. I haven't quite figured out how to make one myself and wouldn't kow what to put in it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. No citrus juices except Apple Juice. No alcoholic beverages as they slow down your stomach. No soft drinks which means no carbonated beverages. Sometimes I have gotten away with a Pepsi or Ginger Ale but it's early in the day and if you open it, put the cap on, let it sit in the frig for a day or two, some of the fizz is gone and that helps. Onions are a no. I have eaten them finely chopped but minimal with no issues. White rice only no whole grains and just white bread. Our stomach has to break all of that down and cannot. Hope this helps.
I hope all 3 of these pictures of the bottle are attached. It says not to take past 4 weeks without seeing your doctor so I asked by gastroenterologist about that. She said that warning is for people who just decide to take it without the symptoms or being diagnosed with what we have. I have been on it for 2 years. NO side effects.
Here are the other views of the bottle. On Amazon you can even get a travel size.

Maserati's Engine Uses Formula 1 Technology
Video by Engineering Explained via YouTube
Maserati's MC20 uses pre-chamber ignition, just like Formula 1!
Maserati's Engine Tech Deep Dive – https://youtu.be/GH3TNiRERU4
Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! – https://goo.gl/VZstk7
The Maserati MC20 uses a very unique combustion method. Most combustion engines use a single combustion chamber, made up of a piston, cylinder, and head. Maserati's new engine uses a pre-chamber in the head, and combustion starts here in this tiny pocket. When the spark plug fires, it ignites the air & fuel mixture within the pre-chamber. At the end of the pre-chamber are little holes, which the combusting air and fuel then rockets out of, referred to as turbulent jets.

Q: How to JSON.parse directly in html file in Typescript / Angular, or access json fields as objects? after not finding an answer for what I was looking for, i'm asking this question.
Due to the fact that I need to avoid duplicates in a map, I had to stringify the map key. But later in the HTML file i need to get key's fields in order to display and style.
Is there a way to achieve my goal?
component.ts:
criteriaFilters = new Map<any, boolean>();

ngOnChanges() {
    if (this.audit.getValue().chapitres) {
      for (const chapitre of this.audit.getValue().chapitres) {
        for (const auditCritereEval of Object.entries(chapitre.auditCritereEvaluations)) {
          if (auditCritereEval !== undefined) {
            if (auditCritereEval != null) {
              if (!this.criteriaFilters.has(JSON.stringify(auditCritereEval))) {
                console.log(auditCritereEval);
                this.criteriaFilters.set(JSON.stringify(auditCritereEval), true);
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
      this.criteriaFilters.set('NOTSEEN', true);
    }
  }

component.html:

          {{'audit.filter.critere'}}

            <mat-button-toggle-group multiple (change)="updateCriteriaFilter($event)">
              <ng-container *ngFor="let filter of criteriaFilters.keys()">
                <mat-button-toggle *ngIf="filter != 'NOTSEEN'"  [value]="filter" [checked]="true">

                  {{JSON.Parse(filter).value.label}}
                </mat-button-toggle>
                <mat-button-toggle *ngIf="filter == 'NOTSEEN'" [value]="filter" [checked]="true">

                  {{ 'EE.Core.Audit.Audit.Results.Unseen' | translate }}
                </mat-button-toggle>
              </ng-container>
            </mat-button-toggle-group>

JSON representation of the key [which is also a map(chapitre.auditCritereEvaluations)]:
[
    "23102",
    {
        "id": 23102,
        "label": "Conforme",
        "shortLabel": null,
        "reportingLabel": "Conforme",
        "position": 0,
        "color": "#008000",
        "conforme": true,
        "nonApplicable": false,
        "note": 1,
        "auditTypeCritereEvaluationId": 8331
    }
]

So as you see I need to access fields in the  tag (especially the label and color fields) when the filter is not 'NOTSEEN' (inside the first *ngif). So I wanna know if there's anything to put in place of the JSON.parse() in the html file in order to access fields. If possible I would like not to have to create a TS function.
Thanks In advance for your answers.

A: You could put non stringified values as map values
this.criteriaFilters.set(JSON.stringify(auditCritereEval), auditCritereEval);

ans then iterate over values(), not keys() in the template

For my tall tower's sake cast in her stone?
The lovers' house, lie suffering my stain?
For my tall turrets carry as your sin?
Adore my windows for their summer scene?
Marking the flesh and summer in the bay?
Am I not sister, too, who is my saviour?
Where bird and shell are babbling in my tower?
Nor roof of sand, nor yet the towering tiler?
They said, who hacked and humoured, they were mine.
The ringed-sea ghost, rise grimly from the wrack.
Do you not father me on the destroying sand?
Who play the proper gentleman and lady.
Woe to the windy masons at my shelter?
Lie all unknowing of the grave sin-eater.

D'Agostino Introduces Bill on Presidential Candidates' Tax Returns
"No Tax Returns; No Ballot Access"
A bill introduced by State Representative Mike D'Agostino (D-Hamden) would withhold ballot access in Connecticut for any candidate for President of the United States who does not release his or her federal and state tax returns for the previous five years.
Rep. D'Agostino has introduced HB 6574, "An Act Concerning Disclosure of Presidential Candidates' Tax Returns" in the General Assembly which has been referred to the Government Administration and Elections Committee (GAE) for consideration.
"I believe that the public's access to a presidential candidate's tax returns is essential to being able to evaluate that candidate's worthiness to the highest office in the nation," Rep. D'Agostino said. "Passing this measure in Connecticut could be a model for the nation."
"Having presidential candidates disclose their tax returns is not a partisan issue," Rep. D'Agostino noted. "Polls released during the past year found that a wide majority of voters believe that presidential candidates should release their tax returns for public scrutiny."
"Presidential candidates have been disclosing their tax returns for decades and at least here in Connecticut we have the opportunity to make sure that practice continues by approving this legislation," Rep. D'Agostino said.
