Port of Centralia officials praised local lawmakers Friday for securing more than $3 million in funding for transportation projects at Centralia Station.
The state's transportation budget, which passed the Legislature Thursday, sets aside a $3.1 million package for improvements at the Centralia Station property. Known as the I-5/Mellen Connector project, it will include a new offramp and existing street extensions for the development, which has Fred Meyer as its anchor tenant.
All three members of the 20th District delegation played a role in getting the money, but the Port singled out Rep. Ed Orcutt, ranking member of the House Transportation Committee.
"Without the support of our delegation, Rep. Orcutt, Rep. DeBolt and Sen. John Braun, this project and the hundreds of jobs it will provide wouldn't be possible," Port Commission President Julie Shaffley said in a statement.
Centralia Station is included in this aerial photo of Centralia and Chehalis.
Centralia Station, a 43-acre Port of Centralia development proposed off Mellen Street, would include not only Fred Meyer, but restaurants, other businesses and walking trails.
Once Centralia Station opens, a report from ECONorthwest completed last year estimates the complex will employ 535 people in Centralia, with sales totaling an estimated $118 million annually. There's also $7.1 million in state and local taxes expected to be generated.
In the first 10 years of operation, Centralia Station would pay the 2016 equivalent of nearly $5 million in property taxes, according to the report.


Honey derived from Leptospermum scoparium (commonly known as mānuka) is known to have anti-bacterial activity that is not entirely accounted for by the presence of hydrogen peroxide.1 This is known as non-peroxide activity (NPA). The discovery of this medical benefit has led to mānuka honey being a major export for New Zealand. In order to assure supply, mānuka trees are being investigated to determine why certain specimens yield honeys with a greater NPA than others. This might result in plantations of L. scoparium that would yield honey with a consistently high NPA.
The compound responsible for the NPA is a 1,2-dicarbonyl known as methylglyoxal (MGO).2 The precursor to this molecule was found in nectar of the mānuka flowers and was identified as dihydroxyacetone (DHA).3 An investigation of DHA in the nectar of L. scoparium across different regions of New Zealand was carried out by Williams (2012).4 It was confirmed that trees vary within and between regions across New Zealand.
This thesis describes different investigations into why the variation of DHA observed in various mānuka flowers is so great. Flowers were collected during flowering periods from 2011-2013 and were frozen prior to processing. The extraction method used ten flowers (10F) and samples were analysed by gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID). The DHA quantity was expressed with respect to the total sugar (Tsugar) in the nectar (DHA/Tsugar) in order to allow for comparison between samples.
The study by Williams (2012) was extended to include the Northland region.4 Wild L. scoparium var. incanum specimens were collected from this region and it was determined that these trees only produced a low to moderate amount of DHA/Tsugar. Williams (2012) also investigated the DHA variability of trees in close proximity to each other as these are supposed to be genetically similar.4 This study was repeated in a different region and the findings were the same; that is trees that were in close proximity to each other can have different DHA/Tsugar.
One possibility of why DHA is observed in mānuka flowers is that it is used to combat stress as a compatible osmolyte. This was tested using chemical additives and it was found that the DHA/Tsugar varied as a result of the Tsugar as opposed to the amount of DHA. This response was cultivar dependent.
Different flower physiologies were also investigated. This included the andromonoecious nature of mānuka and the specific colour change in the hypanthium of the flower. Male flowers were found to have a larger amount of DHA/Tsugar as a result of a higher level of DHA than hermaphrodite flowers. This could suggest that DHA is being used in the hermaphrodite flowers for processes such as seed production. The DHA/Tsugar of flowers with different hypanthium colour was shown to be dependent on the variety type. The source and reason for DHA still remains unclear and therefore further study is required.


Wadi Gnai safari to Dahab's beautiful canyon and wadi will reveal you the beauty of the desert, its landscapes and unique nature. Together with amazing Blu Hole dive spot the trip will be the best Sinai experience ever.
The most beautiful place for diving in Egypt and the second largest diving place in the world, which attracts a lot of divers from all over the world. The depth of the Blue Hole is more than 110 meters from the pure beauty of coral reefs and marine habitats. The spot is located in Dahab city which is just 100 km far from Sharm el Sheikh.
South Sinai has a very fascinating desert, with mountains, canyons, sand dunes, dry and carved waterfalls and river beds. Let's take a break from the stunningly blue water and enter the silence of the desert. We go to Wadi Gnai, a deep canyon oasis 10km south of Dahab town. We'll be walking around for a while looking at the spectacular scenery. During winter you can see water oozing from the cracks in the mountains.
Wadi Gnai is a little oasis situated just 30 minutes drive from central Dahab. Let's hike through this calming landscape, into the palm grove and the abandoned gardens of the Bedouins. As there's water in Wadi Gnai it is always lush and green – and in the rare event of rain you will be able to find many different types of desert flowers in full bloom. The hike can be adjusted according to each participant's physical fitness and we would recommend you to bring good footwear, as we will also need to climb some smaller passages. From in between the palm trees and mountains you will experience the beauty and solitude of Sinai.
We booked the family package which included the star gazing, dolphin show, Soho experience, Wadi Gunai and Tiran island boat trip in February 2015. I must say it was a great deal for the family! We thoroughly enjoyed the attractions as well as things to do. What made our experience even more enjoyable was the hospitality of our tour guide Ahmed Hassan. Ahmed is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very passionate about the desert and the natural beauty of the Sinai. He was very helpful, especially with my little kids - helping them get on and off the camels, always quick with a photo opportunity and overall very courteous and professional. The hotel pickups were always on time and the tour experience was superb thanks to Ahmed! I would definitely recommend the star gazing trip as a part of the package as you are getting a great value for money and you are taken care of by Sharm Club staff. If you see Ahmed on your tour - please say hello from the Fedotov family!

It's March, which means it's Colon Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we bring greater attention and focus to the issue of colorectal cancer and its staggering impact.
Currently, the recommended screening age is 50. And if you're not having symptoms and have no family history or significant risks, 50 might be the right age. But for so many people, 50 is not nearly soon enough. What's more, many people aren't being screened AT 50, but rather are waiting until sometime in their late fifties or early sixties.
At our last fundraiser, the Bottoms Up Bash, we hear a speech delivered by two young women who lost their father to colon cancer. He waited until 60 to be screened. Had he been screened at 50, he'd likely still be with them.
Many providers don't begin to talk about colorectal cancer with their patients until the patient turns 50. You may be one of those patients. Doctors follow guidelines set forth by organizations like the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, to name a few. The current recommendation is for a colorectal cancer screening age of 50.
But as we're seeing from the data, we're missing an awful lot of people by waiting until 50 to begin the conversation. This is particularly obvious when you consider the fact that rates of colorectal cancer in individuals under the age of 50 are increasing sharply.
We know there is an alarming increase in colon and especially rectal cancers in the under age 50 age group. Soon 20% of all rectal cancers will occur under the age of 50.
We know that to better tailor screening age, the accurate family history needs to be identified long before the age of 50 (preferably before but certainly by age 40) in order to deliver screenings to those most at risk due to genetic or familial factors.
We know that due to a timely lack of awareness and understanding, most sporadic (non-genetic) cases of colon and rectal cancer occurring under the age of 50 have a significant delay in notification of the provider and then an additional delay in appropriate timely diagnosis once in the system. Many occurrences of colorectal cancer in people under the age of 50 are misdiagnosed.
We know that only about half of asymptomatic, normal risk individuals are screened anytime during their fifties because their providers didn't being talking about colon cancer until their 50th birthday. This means that only half of these individuals are screened in their fifties – the other half wait. As we've seen time and time again, that might be too late.
We know that there are lifestyle changes that can prevent colorectal cancer – but they are most effective when they begin early (i.e. long before 50). Smoking cessation, dietary changes like avoiding red or processed meats, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight are but a few, powerful, evidence-based ways to reduce your risk. It is never too late, however, to make positive, healthy change!
We've had enough. The evidence is clear – colorectal cancer is on the rise in individuals under 50 and we are doing them an immense disservice by not fighting to change the standards. We need to talk about colon cancer well before the age of 50. We need to talk to our families and our loved ones to get a complete family history. We need to advocate for ourselves to our doctors. We need to fight to tell people about colon cancer.
As we speak, hundred of passionate individuals are in Washington, D.C. for the Call on Congress. They are actively advocating to our elected representatives for better colorectal cancer policy and education. It's so very important that our voices are heard.
Sign up for the Virtual Lobby Day (Wednesday, March 15). Fight CRC and the Call on Congress groups will make advocating a completely painless process for you. Please sign up and make your voice heard.
Sign and share the Policy for On-time Information Petition (POTI). (It's pronounced "potty" because, well, you know.) This is another opportunity to speak out for better colorectal cancer policy and education. If you're fed up too, we hope you'll sign.
People deserve better. They deserve to have all of the information and tools to prevent colorectal cancer. They deserve to have these tools in time to use them.
Don't forget – lives are at stake. Your life could be at stake. Please help us save those lives and prevent colorectal cancer. Your voice matters and your help will make all the difference.


On 14. December 1950, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established by the United Nations General Assembly. Its initial aim was to help millions of Europeans who had been forced to flee or had lost their homes during World War II.
Today, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is still leading international action to protect and assist people, who are forced to flee their homes because of conflict, violence, persecution or human rights violations.
UNHCR works tirelessly around the world with a workforce of almost 15,000 people comprising about 11,000 UNHCR staff and 4,000 affiliate personnel across 130 countries in order to help millions of people of concern. 87 percent of the staff is based in the field i.e. outside its Headquarters in Europe.
UNHCR delivers life-saving support like shelter, food and water in emergencies around the world. We help safeguard fundamental human rights, including access to territory and the right to seek asylum. We develop solutions that ensure that people have a safe place to call home in order for them to build a better future. Furthermore, UNHCR works to eliminate statelessness.
UN City in Copenhagen hosts several of UNHCR's global Headquarter's functions with almost 200 staff currently working in the building.
Functions located in UN City include the Private Sector Partnerships Service, which is leading UNHCR's growing global collaboration with the private sector and our engagement with the public. Private sector engagement provides UNHCR with invaluable financial support, strong advocacy in support of refugees, as well as innovation and technical expertise that improves our operational capacity. Since 2016, a small team focusing specifically on Private Sector Engagement in Denmark has been added to the global team in UN City.
Other critical services located in UN City include Global Digital Engagement and Strategic Communications focusing on digital communication and on brand management, communications monitoring, analysis and reporting.
The Field Information Coordination Support Section supports operational data management systems necessary for the planning, management and delivery of UNHCR's programmes. It issues the annual statistics on refugees and other forcibly displaced persons including their countries of origin and current host countries. The UN City in Copenhagen is also home for innovative new solutions and operational capacities in the areas of registration, identity and case management in UNHCR. Registration and Identity Management are essential steps in order to protect, assist and find solutions for people who have been forced to flee their homes.
Access to quality education is a human right for every child and the best investment into the future of a refugee child. The Education Unit, based in UN City, supports country operations by providing tools and directions to increase access to education for refugees.
UNHCR's Regional Representation for Northern Europe covers Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden. The Regional Representation is located in Stockholm, but is present in UN City in Copenhagen through a Liaison Office, which covers legal and communication matters relating to Denmark. Another Liaison Office in the region is located in Vilnius, Lithuania.


Every conversation that I have had with a staff member at the Addison Crater Woods reassures me of the great decision that I made when I signed my lease. It is so comforting to know that they genuinely have your best interest at heart.
We have been very pleased with the response times of the maintenance department. They were extremely polite, efficient, and accommodating.
I have seen and lived in several different apartments in different states and Addison Crater Woods is by far the best. They are beautiful, clean, quiet and nice! The staff is very friendly and professional.
Addison Crater Woods is a great place live! I've been a resident going on two years now and I just love the spacious layout and the amenities.
After living here in '09 and moving to Old Town for several years, I am back and couldn't be happier. No other apartment home could give us what Addison does and that is to make us feel like home.

           {{r['id']}}
           {{r[f.fieldName]}}

    </form>

And here's my view

A: You are using this to get the data from the server:
 $http.get("/getFields?id="+t.id)
     .success(function(data){
         $scope.fields=data;
     });

Deleting an element from the $scope.fields array won't delete it on the source of the data. If you "delete" something you need to delete it in the server:
$http.delete("/fields", {params: {fieldId: fieldID});

This is just an example, you need to figure out what's the correct url for your api. Also, the way you are doing it is not very RESTful but I take it you are still learning.

It's been some time since I did a Tuneful Tuesday but here we are…it's Tuesday and I'm in a tuneful mood.
It's a Saturday night in 1979-1980 and I'm on the roller rink rollering away, possibly trying not to break my arm or neck as I hang on to the rail . . . teaching myself to skate. A foolish endeavor when looking back on the fact that one of the prettiest teenage girls ever, my baby-sitter or whatever, was an expert skater and wanted to show me how. Oh how boys can be dumb at a certain age.
Then the scary thing happens. The somewhat empty floor is swarmed. Why? Because the first #1 hit in the land for a British Hall of Fame act is announced as being next.
It's crazy. Yes, it's even just a little thing. But I have no idea what it had to do with love.
Freddie Mercury and Queen with Crazy Little Thing Called Love begins and the drum beats of Roger Taylor that are possibly forgotten in their influence through the years due to a once in a life time voice and performer in Mercury drives everyone around the rink.
The meaning of the lyrics? They are what they are and the song is a tribute to Elvis Presley. One of those rare songs from a legendary performer that was what it was. That's cool if you think about it.
From Melody Maker interview 05/o2/81:
Let's talk about your song writing. Can you write songs to order: "At two o'clock today I will start working on song . . . ?"
I have no set rules for writing, but yes, I can write like that, I really can. It's haphazard and it's become a bit of a joke to me, but if I knew we're going into the studio I just get my thinking process going. I can write songs to order, like a job. Some songs come faster that others: "Bohemian Rhapsody" I had to work at like crazy. I just wanted that kind of song. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think.
And the live version.
This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
This (This Thing) called love
(Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo)
It jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called loveThere goes my baby
She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweatI gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called loveI gotta be cool relax, get hip
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Much Respect-Much Love

🙂 I've always loved Queen's music even though most of it happened before my time. Awesome post. Made me smile. 🙂
Welcome back! Happy to know there was someone else who clung to the sides of the rink walls… I never roller skated however, I was notorious for leaving the blade guards on the ice skates. Yeah, I was banned from many a rink for that move. No wonder none of my cousins ever invited me to go skating with them more than once. 🙂
I managed to let go…barely, and it was Saturday Night Fever that did it for people where I came from!! 🙂

February 2017. Medicare for All rally in Los Angeles, United States.

Medicare for All: a debate
Dylan Yip
Last year, I participated in a national online debate on the merits of implementing Medicare for All in the United States. I decided to write an article introducing the debate to those of my generation. Rather than reveal my own position, I have elected to lay out the strongest points from both sides, to allow readers to come to their own conclusions. Seeing close to a million citizens die due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with an economic crash and rising unemployment, just highlights the importance of the Medicare for All debate. Could this program transform our healthcare system for the better – or would it further harm our economy?
The essay that follows lays out the state of the debate, drawing on the divergent opinions of experts on various sides. It sets forth the economic implications of Medicare for All before exploring the potential impacts of Medicare for All on citizens' medical access and health outcomes.
As a high school student who lives in both Hong Kong and the United States, I see differences between healthcare systems in my two homelands, with each system having its benefits and liabilities. Being part of the younger generation, I share my peers' concern over the problems of healthcare — one day, caring for our elders' well-being will become our responsibility.
Economic Implications
CON: One of the main arguments against Medicare for All is the negative economic impact it could have. According to a health-focused media outlet Kaiser Health News (KHN), "economists estimate Medicare for All would cost somewhere between $30 trillion and $40 trillion over 10 years." Additionally, Medicare for All would not solely be funded by the government; every citizen would have to contribute from their own pockets, and taxes from other areas would also increase.
Additionally, Medicare for All would not solely be funded by the government; every citizen would have to contribute from their own pockets, and taxes from other areas would also increase. In a long-read outlying the implications of the Medicare for All programme, Healthline, an American outlet focused on health-related issues, stated: "With Medicare for All proposals, some portion of the money you're now paying toward health insurance would be shifted to taxes."
If Medicare for All becomes law, hospitals could stand to lose a major portion of their current income. The New York Times cites calculations done by Dr. Kevin Schulman, a professor of medicine at Stanford University, according to which "Hospitals could lose as much as $151 billion in annual revenues, a 16 percent decline, under Medicare for all." Were that prediction to be fulfilled, not only would hospitals encounter economic backlash, but many health insurance agencies could face bankruptcy as well.
Katie Keith, a research faculty member for Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms – quoted by Healthline – stated that the current Sanders Medicare for All bill "would prohibit employers and insurance companies from offering insurance that covers the same benefits that would be provided under the Medicare for All program," directly affecting companies' ability to conduct business in the sector.
PRO: Unsurprisingly, not all pundits, politicians, and economists agree on the potential costs of Medicare for All. According to KHN, "researchers calculate $78.2 billion in savings from providing primary care to people uninsured, and they also suggest hospitals would spend less money on overheads, having to instead only navigate a single insurance plan. That change accounts for $219 billion in their estimated savings."
Moreover, even a right-wing think-tank Mercatus Center in its study writes: "The US could insure 30 million more Americans and virtually eliminate out-of-pocket health care expenses while saving $2 trillion in the process." The money saved could be used to greatly expand primary care in this country and make certain that all Americans get the health care they need when they need it — saving billions on expensive emergency room care and hospital visits. Instead of paying the current highest price in the world for prescription drugs, under this legislation, we could save hundreds of billions over a 10 year period through tough negotiations with the drug companies. Most importantly, we are saving the American people from poverty.
According to the American news channel CNBC, "an estimated 530,000 families turn to bankruptcy each year because of medical issues and bills." Additionally, online financial advice outlet The Balance states that "62.1% of bankruptcies were caused by medical issues and over 2 million people are adversely affected by their medical expenses."
Medicare for All could potentially save millions of Americans from poverty and save trillions of dollars over a several-year period.
Medical Access
How a Chinese boy Who'd Never Heard of Football Fell in Love with the Sport
By Dylan Yip
CON: Another major concern for opponents of Medicare for All is a projected decrease in access to medical care should the bill pass. Healthline states that only "doctors and hospitals that already accept Medicare could likely continue" working in the healthcare field; if healthcare professionals do not accept working under these new conditions, they could lose their jobs.
It would be complicated for many Americans if they are forced to stop seeing a certain doctor since under Medicare for All, that doctor is unemployed. If a large number of healthcare professionals decide against working under Medicare for All, there could be systemic challenges like shortages of doctors or healthcare workers going on strike.
As mentioned in the above paragraph on economic implications, hospitals could experience a major drop in revenue, possibly losing as much as 151 billion dollars, a 16 percent decline. In this scenario, hospitals would not have the resources to pay for expensive medical equipment, doctors' salaries, and drugs that are needed to sustain healthy lives. Therefore, the quality and accessibility of hospitals could drop significantly under Medicare for All.
Additionally, increased ER wait times due to understaffing could lead to negative health outcomes. According to a British progressive daily, The Guardian, "almost 5,500 patients have died [in England] over the past three years because they have spent too long on a trolley in an A&E unit [ie. emergency ward] waiting for a bed in overcrowded hospitals." If hospital access were to decrease even more because of a major loss in revenue, it could result in further deaths due to prolonged wait times.
Finally, if Medicare for All fails, the general population could face a major health crisis. With many private hospitals, doctors, and pharmaceutical companies out of jobs or bankrupt, there would be fewer points of care in the healthcare system overall.
PRO: Even if these dire predictions prove correct, however, the problems we currently face are just as bad, if not worse. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, "in 2020, 8.6 percent of people, or 28 million, did not have health insurance at any point during the year." Additionally, the weekly online newsletter, Harvard Gazette states "nearly 45,000 annual deaths are associated with lack of health insurance."
The Guardian notes that "millions of Americans – as many as 25% of the population – are delaying getting medical help because of skyrocketing costs." Even Americans who have partial health insurance are being greatly impacted, for example, Erin Bradshaw, Chief of Mission Delivery at the Patient Advocate Foundation, expresses in a CNN online article that even if Americans have health insurance, "they still can't afford to get the healthcare that they need."
Moreover, while tens of thousands of Americans die each year because they cannot afford the health care they desperately need, health insurance agencies are generating billions of dollars in revenue.
According to CNN, "for UnitedHealth, the largest insurer in the US, net earnings have surged since 2015, reaching $17.7 billion last year as their business has rapidly expanded into other healthcare sectors." To many, the idea that these insurance companies are thriving while its citizens are suffering from the expensive hospital bills is outrageous and unfair. For those who hold this view, the fact that the United States pays the most per capita for healthcare suggests that this should be reflected in both better healthcare and widened access.
As a global pandemic continues to rage, questions of healthcare access can mean the difference between life and death for impoverished families.
Meanwhile, the national government and insurance companies are grappling with questions about coverage: given the scale of the disease, should funds emphasize treatment or prophylaxis? The high school debate competition I participated in was low stakes, but there is no issue with higher stakes in reality.
The future depends on the younger generation; significant issues like the healthcare crisis will soon be up to us to solve. Healthcare is not just about the economy, but also most importantly about saving lives. The positions we adopt on this issue will help to shape our future society, ensuring that the elderly stay healthy as long as possible and that the youth are in fantastic condition.
Hopefully, the facts and figures included in this essay allow my readers to gain a sense of what is at stake. It is clear that strong decisions need to be taken to address the major healthcare problems that are occurring in the United States.

Please guide me some steps and it will be a great help for me.
I found some rules have been written like this .Could you please guide me how to take this concept as there is three D and after AMT there is BETRG and in NUM there is ANZHL. What is the use of these BETRG and ANZHL. And from where i will get the words like BETRG AND ANZHL.
And as there is more than one symbol in Variable key.What is the use of more than one variable and its uses.
there is also VAKEYLNCLS (What is LNCLS and where i will get this information about it).
Just a tip on schemas and rules.
Rules are written according to your needs or company needs.
You wil never know the meaning of everything in SAP, even the most senior SAP consultant doesn not know all technical names on the system, or functions and operations or waht ever, you should start learning how to find things you want to know on SAP, F1 on anything, and you will understand.
Betrg is a technical name of the field amount from a infotype.
Anzhl - i think is the technical name for annual salary.
That kind of schema is easier to understand if you switch to the tree view, as it will display the various D(ecisions) at their respective levels.
In your example AMT corresponds exactly to BETRG and NUM exactly to ANZHL (at least where the semantics are concerned).

Does American Airlines have TVs in the back of the seats?
Yes, American Airline has televisions on its flights, and on some planes you can sit back and relax, enjoying free movies, TV shows, music, and games on an in-seat screen.
Can I bring an American Airlines backpack and hand luggage?
In this case, you can always bring hand luggage. Finally, American Airlines said: "[A backpack] will count towards your allowance and will be considered your personal item, if placed under the seat – or your hand luggage if placed in the overhead compartment. Personal items should not exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches.
Is water free on American Airlines?
Complimentary American Airlines beverage service including canned beverages, juices and water in main cabin. Full beverage service, including alcohol, is available in First Class. No snacks, alcohol or food for purchase are available in the main cabin.
Are there TVs in the back of the seats on American Airlines?
Joining the ranks of United and Alaska Airlines, American Airlines will no longer install seatback monitors for inflight entertainment in its 100 new Boeing 737s destined for domestic flights, the first four of which will enter service later this year. .
Are there screens on the American Airlines 737 MAX?
No screens: Just like on AA's new Boeing 737 MAX and retrofitted 737-800 aircraft, there are intentionally no in-flight entertainment screens built into the seatbacks. Instead, passengers will need to "BYOD" (Bring Your Own Device) to watch the many entertainment options streamed through the Wi-Fi system.
Do you have a TV in the back of the seat?
Seatback monitors come with in-flight entertainment boxes, those pesky, bulky in-flight systems that actually contain all the video information.
Are there seatback entertainment systems on Delta Airlines?
Delta, a former airline, has seat-back entertainment systems on some planes. I used them for PDX and Ft Myers. New York City, New… 3. Re: American airbus a321 inflight entertainment

Saskatoon Blades defenceman Dalton Thrower and Portland Winterhawks right winger Joey Baker battle along the boards in Memorial Cup action in Saskatoon, Sask. on Wednesday, May 22, 2013. The Canadian Hockey League announced Thursday that the National Hockey League Hockey Operations department has suspended Thrower of the Saskatoon Blades for the balance of the 2013 MasterCard Memorial Cup for his hit on Portland Winterhawks' Taylor Leier. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Liam Richards.
SASKATOON - Saskatoon Blades defenceman Dalton Thrower has played his last game at the MasterCard Memorial Cup.
The Canadian Hockey League has suspended Thrower for the rest of the tournament for his check to the head on Portland Winterhawks forward Taylor Leier.
Thrower hit Leier as he cut into the Blades' zone in the first period of Portland's 4-2 win on Wednesday night. A bloodied Leier lay motionless before being helped off the ice. There was no penalty called on the play.
"It's pretty obvious that it's a vicious hit to the head," Portland coach Travis Green told reporters Thursday. "It should have been a five-minute major."
Green said Leier has concussion-like symptoms and is "not doing that well."
"I'm not sure if we're going to see him again in the tournament or not," he said. "Doubtful that we will."
Leier, a 19-year-old fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2012, had 27 goals and 35 assists in 64 games with Portland this season. The five-foot-11, 178-pound Saskatoon native has one goal and two assists at the Memorial Cup.
The six-foot, 197-pound Thrower was selected in the second round of last year's NHL draft by the Montreal Canadiens. The 19-year-old from North Vancouver, B.C., had six goals, 21 assists and 89 penalty minutes in 54 games for the Blades this season.
The Blades meet the London Knights in Thursday's tiebreaker game, with the winner moving on to face Portland in Friday's semifinal.


There's a bug on the profile screen for me ( on my mobile) which causes player photo to take up most of the screen.
Yes, this is a known bug currently for mobile that they are working to improving hopefully with the new forums when its ready to come out. Thank you for your report!


The National SFP Council of Ireland recognises the need for ongoing sustainability of the Strengthening Families Programme across the country. Through our interagency ethos, it is our vision that communities who are currently implementing, or intend to implement SFP should have reasonable access to SFP Trainings, and where possible, supported to build their own training resources.
Complete the SFP 2 day training.
Get involved in at least 2 SFP implementations as a facilitator/Site Coordinator.
Start with agreed small elements of the training.
Co-deliver the training three times, building each time, to deliver one-half of the presentation.
Ongoing review with the assigned trainer.
To ensure ongoing sustainability, trainings are cost – effective (ie only expenses such as travel) will be requested by NSFPC Trainers. However, communities receiving training from the NSFPC will be requested to operate in an interagency capacity within their own communities (support and guidance can be given on this), and engage with NSFPC on evaluations or requests for non-sensitive information.
New NSFPC Trainers will become part of a national panel of SFP Trainers, and may be asked to co-deliver further interagency trainings.

Filarial infection can be acquired only from infective larvae deposited by infective mosquitoes. Therefore, prevention of infection can be achieved either by decreasing contact between humans and vectors or by decreasing the amount of infection the vector can acquire, by treating the human host.
Contact with infected mosquitoes can be decreased through the use of personal repellents and sleeping under bed nets. Any intensive vector control activity such as indoor residual spraying, impregnated and preferably long lasting bed nets (LLNs) can reduce transmission of W. bancrofti, and this is often achieved by collaboration with anti-malaria programmes in areas where the two infections are co-endemic.
The current strategy for preventing/interrupting transmission is an annual single co-administration of two drugs for at least five years. The two alternative regimens are:
· single doses of albendazole (400mg) plus Mectizan® (150-200 mg/kg/body wt) or
· single doses of albendazole (400mg) plus DEC (6mg/kg/body wt).
Alternative strategies are under investigation for specific situations. For example, in areas co-endemic with Loa loa where DEC and ivermectin cannot be used, twice yearly albendazole and the use of bednets is an already approved strategy and early studies have shown it to be effective. A further strategy recently recommended by WHO is triple drug therapy (IDA - Ivermectin, DEC and albendazole) to accelerate the global elimination of lymphatic filariasis where there is no onchocerciasis. Other strategies that are being considered to enhance the elimination of transmission include the use of different dose regimens of the above medicines.
Albendazole, donated by GlaxoSmithKline for LF prevention, is a well-established anti-parasitic treatment, given to an estimated 500-800 million people, mostly children, for intestinal infections over the past 20 years. The combination of albendazole with either Mectizan® or DEC has been proven to enhance the efficacy of the individual-drug treatments in reducing the numbers of parasites in the blood.
Mectizan® (generic name: ivermectin) is an oral anti-parasitic drug, discovered and developed by Merck & Co. Inc. which is effective against both LF and onchocerciasis. Mectizan® is provided free of charge by Merck & Co. Inc. for the treatment of onchocerciasis in all endemic countries and for LF in African countries where onchocerciasis and LF co-exist.
DEC, developed over 50 years ago, is an inexpensive and effective anti-filarial drug which is used to treat LF in many countries. However, DEC cannot be used in most of Africa as severe side reactions can occur when other infections, such as onchocerciasis (river blindness) are also present. DEC is now donated by Eisai Co. Ltd.
How can we manage LF?
As there are many different presentations of clinical disease related to LF, there is no single drug or treatment that is effective for all cases. However, for all patients, three issues should be considered (1) anti-parasitic drug therapy be given to patients with clinical disease to prevent potential transmission; (2) supportive clinical care and (3) patient education and counselling.

France's outstanding reputation for fine wines—whether red, white, or sparkling—doesn't come out of thin air. Rather, it stems from hundreds of years of tradition that have created the gold standard by which all other wines around the world are measured.
The colors, aromas, and tastes of French wines span the spectrum and in many ways have gone on to shape and influence everything we appreciate about fine wine. It is in France where some of the world's most common grape varieties—such as Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon—were first grown and harvested. Whether you're a connoisseur of great wine or simply looking for the best bottle to give as a gift or to pair with dinner, to learn about the wines of France is to understand the origins of wine culture and to expose yourself to a range of tastes and traditions unmatched anywhere else in the world.
Grab a glass and join acclaimed Master of Wine Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan on a fascinating six-lecture tour of the best wines that France has to offer with The Everyday Guide to Wines of France. What makes French wines stand out from their international counterparts? How does the varied landscape of France shape and influence what's in your wine glass? Why do French wines command such respect from culinary experts and casual drinkers? These intriguing questions and more are answered in a journey packed with interactive wine tastings, food and wine pairing demonstrations, practical tips and suggestions for shopping and gift giving, and more.

The Everyday Guide to Wines of France is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 20.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nestor from Mission Accomplished Ms. Simonetti-Bryan sets a high bar because she has chosen to tackle the very corner of the world wine market that is most prized to many who are informed of such things and most recognized even to those who are not. I note that some reviews suggest that Ms. Simonetti-Bryan's general wine course may be the best starting point, and I chose to start with wines of France, so I cannot make a judgment on this point. However, I find the strong point of this course is that I was not patronized by the presentation and was actually forced to pay attention to some of her finer tasting points. Wine jargon can be annoying and we did get our share here (I may never understand "minerality"). Moreover, it is unlikely, in my view, that the typical Great Courses consumer will prepare for each lecture by making the recommended purchases. Still, I believe that some of the timeworn mystique of the iconic wines of France has been debunked. The bottom line is that my modest knowledge of the wines of France has been materially enhanced. This is a worthwhile purchase.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Giulia R from Some okay information, but embarrassing. Some okay information and good selection of wines from the regions, but for a Wine Master (and part of her name is Italian!!) Jennifer's pronunciation is horrifying! "Grigio" in Pinot Grigio, which is used in almost every tasting is "GREE joe", not "GREE GEEE OHHH". Sangiovese, Moscato d'Asti, and others were said incorrectly. Same with the mispronunciation of wine areas and towns such as Adige, Liguria and Assisi. Even the proverbs and toasts were like listening to nails on a chalkboard. If she is presenting Italian wines, regions and proverbs please say them correctly so that those taking the course will say them correctly!!! Also, some of her pairings were strange. A northeastern region wine paired with a pasta dish from Rome? Spaghetti Bolognese?? . . . There is no such thing in Italy. She seemed to have textbook and surface knowledge of Italy, but did not bring the real essence of Italy. I would update this course and have an Italian as the instructor. (also, in posting this review some of the Italian wine names I had to leave out as Great Courses marked them as profane - even the lecturer's name of Simon___ was dubbed profane!)
Rated 5 out of 5 by dcar from Well done! These lectures are so packed full of information we'll be watching them several more times, I'm sure. In fact, the instructor is delivering so much information, we were very glad we had already watch the more general (and longer) course, The Everyday Guide to Wine. It gave us a solid foundation for watching these more specific lessons. In my review of the more general Everyday Guide to Wine course I complained that Great Courses had done a disservice to this instructor by their clumsy use of the teleprompter, but in the Everyday Guide to Wines of France that problem has been resolved. The instructor has an excellent delivery. We really enjoyed the brisk pace of the lectures and the variety of visuals (even the ones that were a little bit hokey), and we recommend it highly. Our next stop: The Wines of California.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Malbec 2014 from Excellent video! The course is very organized and the wine connoisseur introduces the most important French wines in a simple way. As a beginner wine enthusiast, I understood the lectures very well. Great explanation among wine varieties.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnGalloway from Excellent and professional course Jennifer does an excellent job of explaining French wines. She describes how they are made, how they should taste and which region in France they are from. I have taken 3 of her courses and look forward to taking any that she has in the future. With Jennifer's courses I have increased my knowledge of wine and therefore my enjoyment.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flea44 from Winetastic! This was an outstanding presentation with a masterful presenter.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Larry1970 from The Everyday Guide to Wines of France I am only two lectures into this class and already it is worth every penny.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimo from Informative, interesting and fun. I have most (maybe ALL) of Simonetti-Bryan's courses and they are all excellent. Over my 74 years on this planet I have traveled extensively including the countries of France, Italy, Sicily, Spain and many others as well as, of course, every state of the USA. One of the things I enjoyed most was sampling the many wines each country had to offer. I regret not keeping my notes about the wines that I enjoyed and some that I found a bit harsh. I wish I had had these courses prior to my travels to help me fully appreciate my experiences. I recall only snapshots of my wine tasting experiences and now Simonetti-Bryan's courses give the full picture. The courses on wine and the one on "spirits" are some of my favorite courses. Simonetti-Bryan's knowledge is vast and her presentations are as smooth as some of the fine wines that I have tasted. I VERY highly recommend Simonetti-Bryan's courses to all who love wine and to anyone who has ever had a sip. Thanks to GREAT COURSES and to Jennifer for these fine and fun courses.

Mother charged after 2-month-old dies in Clinton hotel days after regaining custody
By WLBT.com Staff
Published: Jun. 21, 2022 at 4:08 PM CDT
CLINTON, Miss. (WLBT) - A mother has been charged after an infant died at a Clinton hotel.
The Clinton Police Department was called to the Econo Lodge Tuesday morning where they found a 2-month-old dead.
According to the hotel manager, five people had been living in the hotel room for a month and a half.
The manager said that around 10:00 a.m., he heard the mom screaming from inside the room. Other neighbors also heard it and called 9-1-1.
Darla Luke has been charged with felony child neglect and the other children have been placed with a grandmother by the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services.
Luke was previously charged with misdemeanor child neglect on June 7, 2022, authorities say.
At some point between June 7 and June 21, CPS returned the children to her custody.
This case is still under investigation.

Q: Preventing instantaneous execution of this code? I'm having trouble understanding how to update a widget in Tk to reflect an ongoing process.
Basically, right now my program is to recursively scan a directory and is supposed to output each directory/file it finds to a text widget one at a time. My problem is that instead of doing this, the script finds all of the directories and then outputs everything all at once when it's done. Here's the code:
proc scan {{dir .}} {
global num_items_found vs_list ec_list

foreach i [lsort [glob -nocomplain -dir $dir *]] {
    if {[file type $i]=="directory"} {
        .main.body.log insert end "Checking $i\n";
        scan $i;
    } else {
        if {[string tolower [file tail $i]] eq "buildlog.htm"} {
            lappend vs_list $i;
            incr num_items_found;
            .main.body.log insert end "Found $i\n";
        } elseif {[file extension $i] eq ".log"} {
            lappend ec_list $i;
            incr num_items_found;
            .main.body.log insert end "Found $i\n";
        }
    }
}

return;
}

I am also calling this proc in a different proc, in which I am also disabling a button prior to the scan and re-enabling it after; yet this doesn't work either. The script doesn't allow my widgets to update at all before the scan proc executes? How can I get the desired result?
Thanks!

A: Most display updates in Tk happen from the event loop. In your case, the event loop is not entered until after you finish the directory traversal. You might want to use the update idletasks command.
From the manual:

The update idletasks command is useful in scripts where changes have been made to the application's state and you want those changes to appear on the display immediately, rather than waiting for the script to complete. Most display updates are performed as idle callbacks, so update idletasks will cause them to run. However, there are some kinds of updates that only happen in response to events, such as those triggered by window size changes; these updates will not occur in update idletasks.

Antibacterial Envelope Cuts Heart Device Infections
— Adjunctive use resulted in 40% lower incidence of major cardiac implantable electronic devices infection versus only standard care
by Ed Susman, Contributing Writer, MedPage Today March 17, 2019
This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today and:
NEW ORLEANS -- An add-on antibacterial envelope led to a significantly lower incidence of major cardiac implantable electronic device infections versus standard infection-prevention strategies alone, without a higher incidence of complications, researchers reported here.
In the WRAP-IT study, treatment with the absorbable, multifilament mesh envelope (TYRX Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope) led to a 12-month Kaplan–Meier estimated event rate of 0.7% for the envelope group versus 1.2% for the standard group (hazard ratio 0.60, 95% CI 0.36-0.98, P=0.04), according to Khaldoun Tarakji, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues.
In terms of complications, the 12-month Kaplan–Meier estimated event rate was 6.0% for the envelope group and 6.9% for the standard (control) group (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.72-1.06, P<0.001 for noninferiority), the authors reported at the American College of Cardiology annual meeting and simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Approximately 1.5 million patients worldwide receive cardiac implantable electronic devices every year, Tarakji said, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-D). While the devices are safe, there is a risk of infection, particularly following device replacements, or other secondary procedures such as pocket revisions, lead changes, and upgrades, he noted.
"While the risk of major infections is low, when they do occur, they can be devastating for patients, resulting in invasive procedures, device removal, prolonged hospital stays and potentially death," Tarakji stated. "Other than the use of antibiotics right before the device procedures, this is the first intervention proven to reduce the risk of infection in a randomized clinical trial of this magnitude."
The absorbable, single-use envelope is constructed from a multifilament knitted mesh, and coated with an absorbable polymer mixed with minocycline and rifampin. It elutes the antibiotics into the local tissue for a minimum of 7 days, and the envelope is fully absorbed in approximately 9 weeks.
The investigators randomized patients who were undergoing a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) pocket revision, generator replacement, or system upgrade or an initial implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator 1:1 to receive the envelope or standard infection-prevention care. The latter included pre-procedure intravenous antibiotics and sterile techniques.
The study's primary endpoint was infection resulting in system extraction or revision, long-term antibiotic therapy with infection recurrence, or death, within 12 months after the CIED implantation procedure. The secondary, safety endpoint was procedure-related or system-related complications within 12 months.
In total, 6,983 patients (mean age 70; 28.3% women) underwent randomization (3,495 to envelope; 3,488 to control). The authors reported that the primary endpoint occurred in 25 patients in the envelope group and 42 patients in the control group, while the secondary endpoint occurred in 201 patients in the envelope group and 236 in the control group.
The mean duration of follow-up was 20.7 months, and the investigators reported that major CIED-related infections through the follow-up period occurred in 32 patients in the envelope group and 51 in the control group (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40-0.98).
For the type of major CIED infections, pocket infections occurred in 14 of the envelope and 36 in the control group (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.21-0.72). There were more cases of bacteremia or endocarditis in the envelope group versus controls (11 vs 6, HR 1.57, 95% CI 0.61-4.05).
There were 349 deaths in the envelope group and 365 deaths occurred in the control group throughout the follow-up period (36-month Kaplan-Meier rate of death 17.4% and 17.8%, respectively, HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.83-1.11).
In a subgroup analysis of patients who received a high-power device (ICD or CRT-D), major CIED infections occurred in 18 patients in the envelope group and 35 patients in the control group (12-month Kaplan-Meier estimated event rate, 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively, HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.29-0.90).
In patients who received low-power devices (pacemaker; CRT-pacemaker), major CIED infections were seen in seven patients in the envelope group and seven patients in the control group (12-month Kaplan-Meier estimated event rate 0.9% and 0.8%, respectively, HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.36- 2.92), the authors reported.
While "The interaction effect for subgroup according to device type was not significant," they noted, "The beneficial effects of the envelope in preventing major CIED infection in 12 months were more pronounced in patients with high-power devices than in those with low-power devices or an initial CRT-D."
Study limitations included the fact that consecutive patients were not enrolled because the trial was limited to patients receiving generators from one device manufacturer. Also, the envelope was commercially available at the time of trial, which may have swayed participation. Finally, the use of immunosuppressive agents was not balanced between the two groups.
'Encouraging,' but Lasting?
"Adjunctive use of an antibacterial envelope resulted in a 40% lower incidence of major cardiac implantable electronic device infection than standard-of-care infection-prevention strategies alone," Tarakji's group reported. "Patients who received the envelope did not have more procedure-related or system-related complications than those who did not receive it."
"These results add to the existing body of literature on the safety and efficacy of the envelope in reducing cardiac implantable electronic device infections," they noted. "Although the use of the envelope may require dissection of a slightly larger cardiac implantable electronic device pocket, we did not observe a significant difference in the rate of complications, for example hematoma, or procedure time that could be attributed to this. There were fewer system revisions in the envelope group than in the control group and no complications due to allergy to the envelope mesh, polymer, or antibiotics."
Ray Gibbons, MD, of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, told MedPage Today that "Infections in these patients is a major cause of concerns for doctors and patients. Sometimes the problem is severe enough that the patient will need to be hospitalized for weeks."
Gibbons, who was not involved in the study, cautioned that "while these results are encouraging, longer-term studies on how long these devices remain clear of infection is required. These devices will be implanted for 5 years or longer, so we are going to have to watch to see how long this protection lasts."

Long story short, I just acquired a brand new Sony a7ii. I've had my eye on full frame Sony mirrorless after purchasing an a6000 last year and being incredibly happy with the results. The a6000 is extremely light and shoots great quality images. Yes the battery life leaves something to be desired, but in my opinion it is a sacrifice worth making for the portability of the camera. Prior to the a6000 I had shot exclusively on Canon cameras; first a Rebel XTI and then later an original 7D. I was, and still am, constantly impressed by the image quality of the 7D, a camera that's eight years old.
The a7ii arrived on a Friday evening, but being that I haven't discarded my Canon system, and don't plan to, I realized that if I opened the camera it would necessitate me reorganizing my camera gear; a feat I was in no way trying to do. I left the camera in its box until the next morning, when I promptly opened it, configured my settings and headed out the door to see my brother selling his goods at December's HBG Flea. If you're interested in having a look, he makes some incredible goods using leather and canvas under the brand name of Owl Creek Handmade.
This time the HBG Flea was going on at Strawberry Square, an often under utilized "shopping center" that sits in the middle of downtown Harrisburg. In all reality, Strawberry Square is just a cafeteria for the herds of state workers that are shuffling papers nearby. After saying what up to my brother and his girl friend I made a beeline to the escalator. I wanted to get a wider angle on the happenings below and honestly because I wanted to rekindle that nostalgic feeling of ascending the escalator and having the Museum of Scientific Discovery slowly reveal itself from behind the second floor horizon. The museum isn't there anymore… It isn't quite the same. Although the assortment of restaurants in the food-court-with-no-mall have seemed to stay exactly as I remember them from my trips to the Square when I was in middle school chorus.
After helping my brother and his girlfriend pack up his thangs; I dapped them both and headed off back towards my car parked a few blocks away. As I was walking aimlessly through the grass area of the Capitol Complex, the locally known Crows of Harrisburg made their debut. Each winter murders of crows descend upon the city to roost and drink in the local flavor. Their obnoxious caws echoed through the stone laden complex. Upon seeing them I sprinted from under a tree and quickly framed a lone satellite dish on a one of the buildings. I really wanted a building in the shot to accent the sheer size of the murder and its presence in the city. I snapped 3 "versions" that I thought were acceptable.
As you can see I chose to leave the above image in color. I really dig the muted tones of it and I think they are accented with the windows between each pillar. The blue of the reflected sky in each window complements the sky backdrop nicely. In the photos below I approached the framing sans windows and without them I think the black and white treatment is more fitting.
Thanks for having a look around, please let me know what you think. I am extremely open to constructive criticism and would love to hear your thoughts. If you ever want to work together, wether formally or otherwise, don't hesitate to reach out. Also, if you're on a desktop or tablet, be sure to click on each image as they should all open up in full screen light boxes.

Pujols, Ludwick homer Cards to 4-3 win
Albert Pujols and Ryan Ludwick each homered to boost the Cardinals to a 4-3 win that keeps them in first place for another few days. Jaime Garcia was effective on the mound for six plus innings and the Cards recaptured their magic from April. The win also put an end to a five-game win streak for the Reds.
Ryan Ludwick said he noticed a higher intensity level with first place on the line despite the fact that it's May.
Jaime Garcia has kept his intensity up for every start this season. As a rookie, he's always trying to prove himself. Through seven starts, Garcia has certainly done that. He has a sparkling 1.42 ERA and said he's feeling more comfortable with every start. He's also always trying to learn. With the veteran leadership and Dave Duncan on his side, there is plenty to learn, too.
Besides his winning attitude, he has shown he has winning stuff. Garcia employed his tight slider to strike out six Friday. He also has a good fastball that cuts and sinks, a changeup, and a curve. And it's all been working for the 23-year-old.
The Reds didn't shrink after the Cards jumped out to a 4-0 lead through six. Cincinnati showed some fight to the last out. Jonny Gomes doubled to start the seventh. Drew Stubbs drove him in with his homer to center, knocking Garcia out of the game. Stubbs drove Gomes in again in the ninth on a fielder's choice, but Ryan Franklin was able to close it out for his eighth save. Aaron Harang pitched a solid six innings, but his two mistakes were big ones — he surrendered two two-run shots to Pujols and Ludwick that proved to be the difference.
The game also proves to be the difference in the NL Central standings today. The Cards lead Cincinnati by 1 1/2 games.

Sanford says arrest of fishermen in Falklands won't derail rescue mission

A bar room brawl that has resulted in three New Zealand fishermen being arrested will not derail Sanford's plans to continue its repatriation mission of fishers stuck in the Falkland Islands.
A Sanford vessel has spent 25 days getting to the Falklands to pick up the crew from another of the fleet, the San Aspiring.
The vessel had been fishing for toothfish and doing scientific research off South Georgia since February.
The crew hadn't been able to get home due to Covid-19 restrictions and Sanford is now trying to find out more about the arrests.

In the Falklands a charge of violent disorder can carry a jail term of up to five years.
Royal Falklands Islands police inspector Barry Thacker told Morning Report there was a fight at Dino's Bar on 29 June.
"When we attended there were a number of people that were assaulted. It turns out that there were five people who were seriously assaulted receiving hospital treatment."
He said the three New Zealand sailors were arrested and were in police custody and would appear before magistrates tomorrow charged with violent disorder.
He said the cause of the fighting was still being investigated.
"Certainly, there would appear to be unprovoked attacks at this moment... There were three acting together that resulted in the serious injuries."
A Sanford spokesperson, Fiona MacMillan, said because the matter is before the courts, she's unable to comment on the charges, except to say Sanford will support the legal process and its crew.
She said the company's efforts to try and understand the events have been hampered by the different time zones.
MacMillan said the planned crew retrieval operation will continue, albeit slightly delayed, while the company waits for more clarity from the court process.
