Israeli foreign minister visits UAE
By Lisa Barrington
DUBAI (Reuters) -Israel's new foreign minister said on Wednesday his landmark visit to the United Arab Emirates was just the start of a road to wider peace in the Middle East, reaching out to Arab states still wary of normalising ties.
Yair Lapid, the first Israeli cabinet minister to visit the Gulf state since the countries forged ties last year, also reiterated Israel's concern about the Iran nuclear deal being negotiated in Vienna.
The trip comes amid unease in Israel and Arab capitals about U.S. efforts to re-enter a 2015 nuclear pact between Iran and world powers, which then President Donald Trump quit in 2018 in a move backed by Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies.
"This visit isn't the end of the road to peace, it is just the beginning," he told reporters. "Our hand is outstretched … I hope this visit is the first of many and that together with our new friends we continue to make history in the entire region."
The UAE and Bahrain normalised ties with Israel under so-called "Abraham Accords" brokered by Trump's administration, creating a new regional dynamic based on mutual concern over Iran and Islamist groups. Sudan and Morocco followed suit.
Lapid declined to comment on whether Israel was coordinating with Gulf states over Iran, saying he did not want to "embarrass" his hosts by remarking on a neighbour while in the UAE, but noted his country was worried about the nuclear deal.
Gulf states have called for a stronger deal of longer duration that also addresses Tehran's missiles programme and support for regional proxies that Iran has denied giving.
During his two-day visit, Lapid inaugurated Israel's temporary embassy in Abu Dhabi and consulate in Dubai.
Israel and the UAE said they had begun talks on a free trade agreement in a statement carried on state news agency WAM. They have previously signed agreements on tourism, investment and cooperation in fields from energy to technology.
Lapid told WAM Israel-UAE trade in the ten months since normalisation exceeded $675 million and he expected more deals.
The UAE has said the accords, which challenged a decades-old allegiance to the Palestinian issue as a major driver of Arab policy, would ultimately benefit the Palestinians.
Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas condemned Lapid's visit, saying it happened while Israeli authorities destroyed a Palestinian-owned shop in East Jerusalem, which Israel captured in a 1967 war and that Palestinians seek for a future state.
"Normalisation agreements will encourage the occupation (Israel) to escalate its aggression against our people," Hamas said on Tuesday. Israel said the shop had violated zoning laws.
On Tuesday UAE foreign minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed told Israel's Walla news site: "I believe that sooner or later Israel should resolve the Palestinian problem. This not only harms Israel's image, but is also liable to raise doubts as to its future. This is a big challenge for you."

"The terrible divisions which now undermine our Society are not the fruit of rebellion and disobedience, but clearly are the result of a seismic change of principle on the part of our Superiors in the relation to Rome. Abandoning the security and prudence of the position adopted by the Society at the last meeting of the General Chapter (2006), namely of refusing any practical agreement with the Roman authorities without there being any doctrinal resolution of the errors of the Second Vatican Council, has proved to be a disaster. Consequently, the Society which was always united and strong is now fractured and weakened – brother is turning against brother. No convincing argument has been presented as a justification for such a fundamental shift in position – the Holy Father has not altered in any way whatsoever his insistence upon the hermeneutic of continuity in relation to Tradition and the teachings of the last Council. And yet, we are simply meant to accept the contrary.
This approach could not but produce the profound malaise that now affects our Society. Additionally, the misuse of secrecy on such a grand scale by our current Superiors, accompanied by privileging a small group of trusted supports of the new policy towards Rome, has served to exacerbate this painful situation even further.
Hence, it is abundantly clear to me that those who truly bear responsibility for the current storm are not those who have attempted to preserve our Society's firmness and unambiguous profession of the Catholic Faith in relation to the Conciliar authorities but those who chose to abandon the wisdom of insisting upon a real conversion on the part of Modernist Rome before envisaging a practical agreement."
"Moreover, if we make an agreement we will lose freedom of speech, we must mute our public criticism of the facts, authorities and even some texts of the Council and the post-conciliar magisterium."
As you wrote it recently: "the links which unite us are essentially supernatural". However, you rightly reminded us that the requirements of nature must nevertheless not be forgotten. "Grace does not destroy nature". Among these requirements, there is truthfulness. Yet, these last months, we notice that a part of the problems with which we were confronted come from a grave negligence to this virtue (truthfulness).
"Never shall I agree to say: "in the Council, if we interpret it well, if we make it match with Tradition, we could find an acceptable sense." Never shall I agree to say that. That would be a lie; it is not allowed to tell a lie, even if it was a question of saving the Church." (Gastines, September 16th, 2012).
"The whole Tradition of the catholic faith has to be the criterion and the guide to understand the teachings of the Vatican II Council, which in its turn enlightens certain aspects of the life and the doctrine of the Church, implicitly present in her, not formulated yet. The assertions of the Vatican II Council and of the Papal Magistery relative to the relation between the Roman Catholic Church and the non-Catholic and Christian confessions must be understood in the light of the whole Tradition." (St-Joseph-des-Carmes, June 5th, 2012)."
"In light of these principles appears the real scope of the Roman document. Persevering in the disastrous line of Vatican II, the Roman authorities simply want to deprive you of the extraordinary form of marriage by denying the state of necessity. This document therefore requires you to appeal to a diocesan priest for your marriages, not leaving the priests of the SSPX more than the possibility of celebrating the subsequent Mass. The Ecclesia Dei Commission foresees that, whenever possible , the Bishop will delegate a priest of the Diocese to attend marriages (or a priest of another ecclesiastical circumscription with due licenses), receiving the consent Of the spouses during the celebration of the marriage which, in the liturgy of the Vetus Ordo, takes place at the beginning of the Holy Mass. This is celebrated later by a priest of the Fraternity.
It is only " where it is not possible that there are priests of the Diocese who can receive the consent of the parties, the Ordinary can directly grant the necessary powers to a priest of the Fraternity." In other words, it is only and only if there is a case of necessity - of which we ignore nature, since it is no longer a question of the serious damage that the liberal spirit causes to the Catholic faith - that the bishop can give the delegation to a priest Of the FSSPX. All other marriage celebrated by a priest of the SSPX without explicit delegation of the Ordinary, will continue to be considered invalid by the current holders of the supreme authority.
It is with attention that I read your "Letter of the Deans" which was made public on May 7th. As a district priest, I would like to sincerely thank you for such a clear and strong declaration, which I am sure will have the effect of reassuring our faithful in the certainty of always finding among the priests of our beloved Society of Saint Pius X the assistance necessary to contract and celebrate their marriage in the spirit of the fight led by Archbishop Lefebvre, that is to say, in a spirit of unfailing fidelity to the teaching of the Church.
The decision of Pope Francis, made public by the Ecclesia Dei Commission last April, and already widely commented on in the media, caused great concern among the faithful; they were afraid that we would now ask them to rely on the decision of the local bishops to validly and lawfully be able to exchange the matrimonial consent according to the traditional rite.
The true, precise, faithful and canonically well-argued argument of your letter will reassure and appease them. Already, I have received testimonies. You have acted as true pastors who are concerned about the good and the protection of the souls that God has entrusted to you. In the present situation, speaking loudly, strongly and without hesitation has become more necessary than ever; you have done so, and we sincerely thank you for it.
I particularly appreciated the conclusion of your letter in which you emphasize that this first step towards the granting of a personal prelature, which is supposed to let us remain as we are, paradoxically consists in a desire to subject the marriages of our faithful to ordinaries who have no objections against the deleterious teachings and the disastrous decisions of Pope Francis on the sanctity of marriage.
May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to which Monsignor Lefebvre has consecrated the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, be our help. May Our Lord keep you and protect you.
"The irregularity is not ours. It is that of Rome. A Modernist Rome. A Liberal Rome that has renounced Christ the King. A Rome that had been condemned in advance by all Popes up until the eve of the [Second Vatican] Council. On the other hand, the experience of the priestly societies that have joined current Rome is that all, one after the other, including Campos and the Good Shepherd Institute, have been constrained to accept the Vatican II Council. And we know what has become of Bp. Rifan, of Campos, who now has no objection to celebrating the new mass and who has forbidden his priests from criticizing the Council!"
These several examples suffice to clearly demonstrate that not only is the current position of the SSPX vis-a-vis Rome a flagrant contradiction to its own former position, and give the lie to the Society being accepted by modernist Rome "as we are" ("as we have become" would be much more honest), but also that sustained Resistance to conciliarism is no more possible in the current environment of the SSPX than it is in the FSSP, as evinced by the silence of those former critics who have traded their silence for continued membership in a reconstructed Society brought to heel by its treacherous leaders.
You are being led by the nose straight into conciliar modernism.
You too are in the process of being remade!
As go the priests, so go the faithful.
About 5 years ago, a very intelligent female tertiary of Avrille translated into English Fr. Rioult's book The Impossible Reconciliation.
We had been in private correspondence for some time, and she mentioned to me that she was considering moving to one of the American SSPX strongholds.
I found that strange, and asked her about it, and she told me that she had friends and/or family there, and not to worry.
A couple months later, she went quiet.
I sent a couple follow-up emails and received no responses.
On the final try, I received a response (which came about 7 months after she relocated to this destination).
She told me that she sees SSPX priests every day: In the chapels; in the streets; in the restaurants. She sees them pray their Rosary, pray their breviary, offer their Mass, and hear her confessions.
And that after seven months in this environment, she said, "I must now ask, with Fr Themann, 'resistance to what?'"
Everything still seemed to be normal and traditional (and she started missing some of Bishop Fellay's earlier observations about Campos, like "they are crying out for all to hear that nothing has changed, except the more perceptive among them notice they speak more respectfully of Rome" and criticize Roman deviations much less -or not at all- "and slowly one get used to this new reality."
And just like that, you have fallen.
If this astute woman can fall, we all can fall.
The faith is a prize, and those who do not pray to retain it will have it swindled from them by the devil.
Which is all another way of saying that because your SSPX priests have gone soft on Vatican II, and no longer condemn it as they used to, YOU will go soft on Vatican II, and the day will come when you will wonder, "Was the old man (Archbishop Lefebvre) just overreacting?"
When you catch yourself wondering that, know that the poison has started to work within you.
Today your pacifist priests are in a transitional stage: They do not accept Vatican II, but neither do they oppose it. They think to ignore it because our superiors tell them that "there are many other things they can be preaching about," and they all get the hint.
But the next stage, which comes quickly (always in less than 10 years), has them dexterously searching for an hermeneutic to reconcile oil and water.

Failure to discover that autistic child swallowed foreign object leads to death and $1 million verdict in Illinois
By Jon T. Gatto, Esq., Blake J. Delaney, Esq., Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, Tampa, FL
News: An autistic girl with a history of swallowing foreign objects was taken to the emergency department by her mother following repeated episodes of vomiting and constipation. The girl was admitted to the hospital by her pediatrician, and X-rays were ordered. After more than eight hours, a radiologist finally read the films and discovered that the girl had swallowed a small rubber ball. His report, however, was not transmitted to the pediatrician. The girl's condition worsened, and she subsequently coded and died. After the girls' estate sued the hospital and the pediatrician, a jury returned a verdict of $1 million. It assessed the pediatrician with 25% fault and the hospital with 75% fault.
Background: An 8-year-old autistic girl was rushed to the emergency department by her mother after the child had experienced repeated episodes of vomiting since the previous day and had had no bowel movement for two days. The mother informed emergency department personnel that her daughter had swallowed foreign objects in the past but that she had no knowledge of her having done so recently. The child was unable to relay any history herself.
The ED physician noted that the girl was dehydrated, had abdominal pain, and had an elevated white blood cell count. The doctor consulted with the child's pediatrician, who decided to admit the girl for observation. The ED physician ordered abdominal X-rays to rule out a possible foreign body ingestion and bowel obstruction even though he knew there was no radiologist at the hospital to review them. The X-rays were taken, but the ED physician did not review the films himself.
Seven hours later, the girl's pediatrician examined the child and observed her to be in stable condition. He also noted that results were not yet available from the radiology films. An hour and a half later — and 8½ hours after the X-rays were taken — a radiologist finally arrived at the hospital and read the films. He noted an obstruction in the girl's small bowel, apparently as a result of the girl having swallowed a 1-inch rubber ball. However, either the radiologist's report never made it to the floor, or the nurse failed to call the pediatrician with the results.
The child's condition subsequently worsened. She coded a few hours later and was taken to surgery for an exploratory laparotomy. The ball was not found during the procedure, and the girl died the next morning. During the subsequent autopsy, the ball was discovered in the child's colon, where it had apparently moved from the small bowel.
The girl's estate sued the hospital, the pediatrician, and the pediatrician's practice for negligence. She argued that if the obstruction had been promptly treated, the child would have survived.
The hospital defended the suit by arguing that the ED physician did not need to read the X-rays because the girl had been admitted by her pediatrician. The hospital also contended that its nurses acted properly and that it was the pediatrician who should have reviewed the films. The pediatrician defended the claim by arguing that he does not read X-rays, but instead he relies on a radiology report, which always was relayed to him by nurses. He pointed out that no one had told him of the X-ray results or of any change in the girl's condition. Both defendants then argued that the child would have died in any event.
After a trial, a jury found the pediatrician to be 25% at fault and the hospital to be 75% at fault. Damages were assessed at $1 million.
What this means to you: "This case was doomed for a large jury award just because it involved a child, with the added dimension that the negligence was the immediate cause of the child's death," says Lynn Rosenblatt, CRRN, LHRM, risk manager at HealthSouth Sea Pines Rehabilitation Hospital in Melbourne, FL. "Juries will more likely than not to find for the plaintiff if they strongly believe the defendants breached a standard of care." In this particular case, she finds, it would have been wise for the defendants and their insurance companies to attempt to reach a mediated settlement with the parents rather than expose the defendants to the terrible publicity and grief that such cases can cause.
Indeed, this case evokes every parent's worst nightmare: A child dying after swallowing a common household object. The highest incidence of swallowed foreign bodies is in children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years. Young children put foreign objects in their mouths out of a natural sense of curiosity. Older children may swallow objects for attention, or due to psychological conditions or alcohol or drug abuse. In this case, the child was a victim of severe autism.
Eighty to 90% of swallowed objects pass through a child's digestive system without event, usually within two to five days. Often, such objects pass with no symptoms whatsoever. However, there are times when a child can swallow an item that is too large or too long to pass through the child's system, or an object that is sharp or poisonous. Those types of objects present tremendous risks to a child's health. For babies and small children, an object is too long to pass through a child's system if it is 1¼ inches or longer, and it is too large to pass if it is more than ¾ inch in diameter. For older children and adults, an object is too long to pass if it is 2 inches or longer, and too large to pass if it is 1 inch or larger in diameter.
In a scenario where a child has swallowed an object that cannot pass through his or her system, the most critical factor is detection. If detected within a reasonable time, almost any object can be surgically removed without severe harm to the child. If undetected, however, the presence of a foreign object can lead to death or severe injury if it cannot pass through the child's system. The injury to the child may result from aspiration or, as here, from the object becoming lodged in the child's digestive system. It is particularly dangerous when ingestion of a foreign body results in blockage of the small intestine. Due to the narrow diameter of the small intestine, many foreign bodies in this location cause a complete obstruction. At that point, immediate surgery is required.
Symptoms of a swallowed foreign object include choking; vomiting; bleeding in the throat; drooling; painful swallowing; pain in the chest, throat, or abdomen; gagging; refusal to feed; and bloody stool. Foreign objects may be detected by X-ray, sometimes enhanced with the swallowing of barium, or by endoscopy.
In this case, the physicians correctly suspected the swallowing of a foreign object, but negligently failed to confirm and treat the condition due to a very unfortunate failure of communication. There is plenty of blame to go around to all of the providers involved in the care of this child. However, Rosenblatt says, "The case revolves around who is 'on first,' as the saying goes, or who had primary responsibility." The decision by the pediatrician to admit the girl was consistent with her presentation. The ED physician followed up his suspicion of a possible obstruction by ordering an X-ray. "So far, so good," says Rosenblatt. Unfortunately, however, from that point forward, neither physician took responsibility, nor did either act to ensure that an accurate diagnosis was made.
Generally, as a provider of emergency services, it falls on the ED physician to ensure that any diagnostic evaluations, including radiology reports, are read and evaluated as soon as possible. This is the standard of care in emergency medicine. The ED physician was aware that there was no radiologist available. Without a doubt, he should have looked at the films himself or ensured that they were promptly read off-site, with the results telephoned to him or the attending pediatrician immediately. This process is referred to as a "wet read," meaning that it is done as soon as the films are developed.
Another blunder was when the pediatrician did not seek out information that would have confirmed the original diagnosis of a possible obstruction. Bowel obstruction is a serious, life-threatening emergency condition. If the girl's intestinal tract was obstructed, she would have required immediate surgery. "This is clearly not a 'wait-and-see' diagnosis," says Rosenblatt. A positive X-ray would have revealed the need for immediate surgery to relieve the obstruction, as at that point the identified object would not be at all likely to pass through without possibility of further, severe complications.
Rosenblatt urges, however, that there also is blame on the part of the radiologist, who would have read the film and should have realized the urgency of the situation. While he may have thought that the film had been read at the time it was developed, and that his report was a mere documentation formality, he should have taken the safest next step and notified the nurse by telephone of his findings. The very act of a specialty physician notifying a nurse of a serious situation should trigger that nurse to immediately notify at least the attending physician of those findings. Otherwise, the urgent situation becomes even more so, as no one is aware of the "ticking time bomb."
Had the radiologist not discovered the foreign object in the girl's small bowel, one could say that he was acting within the standard of care by merely dictating his report and letting it follow the usual course of transcription. At that point, the film would not have provided any additional information and the girl's condition would have been noted as stable. In such a scenario, the radiologist could not be held accountable for not doing something because there was no pressing evidence that he needed to. To the contrary, in this case the findings were positive, and there was an urgent need to communicate them to those that needed to know. Even if the radiologist thought that the report was a formality and that the results had been communicated, it is better to err on the side of redundant communications than to risk a communication lapse of the type that occurred in this case.
At this point, hospital policy would dictate who he was to notify. The policy may call for the radiologist to telephone the nursing unit, provide an immediate reading of the film, and fax a hand-written copy of the report to the nursing station to support his phone message. This is a common practice in hospitals, particularly where films are read off-site.
Another option would be the professional courtesy of notifying an attending physician directly that something is amiss with his patient. This does not bypass the notification to the nursing unit described above, but rather ensures that information gets to the pediatrician as quickly as possible so that he can act on it. Again, if the communication is redundant, that is fine. It is better to err on the side of patient safety.
In this case, any number of events could have occurred, any of which could have caused the report to be delayed. The report either was sent off for transcription, faxed to a wrong number, never retrieved from the fax, or filed prematurely before it was brought to the pediatrician's attention after it was received. Regardless of why the report was delayed, all parties to the care of this patient share in the blame for not seeking positive assurances of the outcome of the X-ray in a timely manner.
Additionally, the nurse may not have been aware that X-rays had been taken and that she should have been looking for the results. Patients transferred from one service to another, in this case the emergency department to a nursing unit, should be "handed off" in a manner that provides accurate and concise information as to the patient's condition and what had been previously done to stabilize the patient, including any diagnostics and available results.
"This brings up the standard of care regarding communication between providers," Rosenblatt says. In any medical situation, one caregiver has an obligation to "hand off all available information" while the other has an obligation to ask sufficient questions to ensure that they have gotten all of the available information. In this case, the nurse admitting the patient should have inquired as to what had transpired in the emergency department and whether any tests were pending. In fact, this entire situation could have been avoided if any of the professionals involved would have been more inquisitive and taken responsibility for the confirmation of the suspected diagnosis.
It was not until the child coded, went to emergency surgery, and then died that anyone was aware that a foreign object actually existed in her intestines. Had the emergency department physician ordered a wet read, thereby establishing the urgency of the situation and setting into motion a corrective action plan, the child might have survived.
Had the pediatrician followed up on the original premise that his patient may be suffering from a bowel obstruction and made the effort to inquire as to the radiology results, the child might have survived. And had the staff in the emergency department "handed off" the patient in the customary manner, where information is shared and appropriately acted upon, the child might have survived. Also, the nurse apparently never addressed the possibility of a lost X-ray report when the patient's condition deteriorated. She should have been proactive in seeking additional information.
In this case, the child suffered from severe autism. The fact that the child was in this condition and was unable to convey the fact that she had swallowed the rubber ball, certainly made it more difficult for the professionals to determine exactly what happened. However, the professionals were made aware of the child's history of swallowing objects and were on the right track in terms of ordering an X-ray and looking for an object. In fact, the X-ray ultimately revealed the object.
Nevertheless, due to a tragic lapse in communication, a patient whose condition had been accurately diagnosed did not receive the life- saving treatment that she needed. None of these professionals acted within the expected standard of care for such a situation. The jury appropriately found all of them liable. "Without a doubt, communication — or rather a serious lack of it — was the root cause of a most unfortunate situation," concludes Rosenblatt. In spite of the fact that it was clear to all parties that ingestion of a foreign body was a likely cause of this young girl's symptoms, and in spite of the presence of a radiology report accurately diagnosing her condition, simple miscommunication caused the tragic death of this child.

When a mountain climber faces the prospect of scaling a large and imposing piece of rock, every step comes with two basic choices – go up or go down. There are a number of other decisions that have to be made, but they are all dependent on these two. Up or down.
While a mountain climber's goal is to reach the rock summit, an entrepreneur's goal is to reach the business summit. And in business you also have two choices. Do it or don't do it. But what is 'it' and how do you know which choice is the right one?
It stands for [Future Me x Massive Action x Continual Learning] + Consistency = Massive Results. But how do you apply it?
What does the future me look like?
What does the future me do?
What is the normal day of the future me?
Well done! You've made one of two choices – You chose to have a dream. You have your mountain circled on the map. Even if all that changes is your salary is doubled and you take your spouse on an overseas holiday every year, you have taken the first step towards becoming the Future Me. By revisiting your dreams consistently you will develop your 'dreaming muscles', so to speak, and soon you will be able to add even bigger dreams to your Future Me list.
Do you need help to find a dream for the Future Me?
Massive action has to take place before the formula works; before you go from dreaming to achieving success. And it is action you have to take. You can't send someone else to the gym to get fit for you. If you want the chiseled body you have to lift the weights, run the circuits and get sweaty yourself. If you want to see the view, you can't send someone else up the mountain. One of the rules mountain climbers face when climbing in adverse conditions is 'keep moving, because as soon as you stop, you die'. Consistently taking massive action will deliver the results you are working for. Keep moving forward. The same applies in life and business. As Denzel Washington once said in a university commencement address, "If you fall, make sure you fall forward".
Reconnecting with clients in order to get them to double their spend with you.
Most importantly, stop making excuses and start looking for reasons to take action.
Do you know what action you should be taking?
Having an 'always learning' mindset is vital if you want to keep growing as a human being and as a business owner. As soon as you stop learning, you stagnate. It's important to develop a mindset that looks for new learnings constantly, everywhere and from everyone. Always be curious. What was the last thing you read or heard which made you think, 'Isn't that interesting?' And how long ago was that?
The best investment you can ever make is in your mind. Set aside non-negotiable time in your diary every day for learning. Start with 15 minutes a day and do one of the activities below, make notes and go over your notes regularly. For each activity ensure it is the best, the latest and related to your impossible dream.
If you don't know which books or talks you should be learning from ask for recommendations or search the best-seller lists.
If you want to keep growing, coaching will never stop. But learning alone is not enough. That's why the Formula for Success connects continual learning with massive action. Take what you've learned in your 15 minutes and apply it. And keep applying it. Increase your daily learning time every six months. Personally, I currently set aside two hours a day. The key is consistency. Do this every day, make it a habit, that way your dreams will be built on solid foundations.
Do you know which books or talks you should be learning from?
What are you consistently doing that has measurably positive results?
It's no good being successful in business if your private life is in ruins. Here are the 8 areas in which The Formula for Success will help you climb the mountain, help you make your impossible dreams reality and bring you massive results. Not average results; massive results!
It sounds like a lot of hard work, I know. And that's because it is. Remember, the value you put on something is determined by the amount of smart, hard work you are prepared to put into gaining it. If you're working hard but not smart, you're acting like a hamster in a wheel. Endlessly running but going nowhere. Smart, hard work is consistently applying the Formula for Success – [Future Me x Massive Action x Continual Learning] + Consistency = Massive Results. How badly do you want to be healthy, to have an excellent and fulfilling marriage, to live in a beautiful environment, to have a successful business?
What will your life look like if you don't apply the formula?
Do you still think overnight success is possible? That's a bit like asking do you believe in fairy godmothers? It's time to implode some myths about success.
There are 5 success myths your need to completely disregard.
When you apply The Formula for Success, [FM x MA x CL] +C = MR, correctly and consistently, success is guaranteed. In fact, if you have come to me for business coaching and can prove you have consistently and correctly applied the formula and my suggestions for a year and your company doesn't improve its profit margin by 100%, I will reimburse you 100% of my fees. That's how confident I am that applying this formula will work.
Continual learning means you get to stand on the shoulders of more successful and wiser men and women than you. It will be the implementation of their advice that will help make you successful. They will be a part of the making of Future You.
Massive results are the consequence of consistent, massive action taken in conjunction with continual learning in order to achieve a goal. That takes time. The more massive action you take, the quicker the result, but it won't be overnight. The only overnight success you can achieve is to change your mind, to make a choice and that can happen in an instant. The choice you need to make is to step out and put the Formula for Success into action.
A good idea is just an idea. Without the work behind it to make that idea a profitable reality, it will go nowhere, or someone else will get there before you.
The Formula for Success can, and should be, applied to every area of your life if you want to be truly successful. If you don't believe me, apply it to your dream for your health. Living a long, fit and healthy life is a goal we should all have.
Do you need help in figuring out which choices you should be making in order to achieve your impossible dreams and climb your own personal Everest? I can help.


With the leadership of President Donald Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan, and House Republicans, unemployment is down to 4.1%, the lowest since 2000, with record low unemployment for African Americans and Latinos.
The Business Roundtable, an association of America's largest employers, is reporting that tax reform has already produced wage increases, bonuses, and increased matches for retirement savings, lower prices for consumers, investment in facilities and tens of thousands of new American jobs as a direct result of tax reform.
Business Roundtable members alone have provided over $545 million in bonuses to employees, with bonuses, wage increases and a range of other employee benefits to 1.6 million workers, along with $1.2 billion in charitable contributions.
In total, more than 270 companies have offered employee benefits as a direct result of tax reform, helping over three million American families.
Many businesses in South Carolina have already announced pay and benefit increases, like CMC Steel Company, Tidewater Boats and Nephron Pharmaceuticals. Families all across the state are seeing their take home pay increase.
Nationally, Exxon Mobil is investing $50 billion in development as Apple, Aflac, UPS, Starbucks, Tyson Foods, and Walmart are announcing extraordinary expansions, bonuses, and job increases.


Yes. I have a 2005 MS 400 and 3'8" is the draft to the prop.
The 350, 390 and 400 are all 3' 8". I don't believe there is a difference in the draft between the twins and single. The keel is the same depth regardless.
It's 3'8" if you're talking about the 400. If you're talking about one of the 1980's twin engine boats (Nantucket) that number may not be correct.

Tracking a Champion
by Phil Bassett, http://www.peoplestribune.org/PT.2009.01/PT.2009.01.12.html
I know a winner when I see one. I could sense it in Edward Pinkney the first time I saw him speak in 2005. Since then, I've watched him brave assaults on his dignity that would have sent lesser men to the crazy house or to their grave.
Just before Thanksgiving, I secured a TV studio equipped with a speakerphone and a fifteen-minute appointment to interview Rev. Pinkney. My friend John Mann was with me, and we waited tensely in the minutes before the appointed time, wondering if it was all going to fall through. If you know anything about the judicial system, you will know why we were concerned.
When Pinkney comes on, his no-nonsense attitude is evident, his spirit untouched by his current surroundings. He tells a story about a guard accusing him of doing others' legal work (is that a crime?), shaking him down and breaking his radio. He then relates how another guard told him to take his radio to have it repaired only to be accused, when he got there, of being there without permission. He talks about life at Ojibway: "…you are in a place where you don't have soap to wash your hands…" and, using toilet paper, "you roll one sheet at a time." Although his voice always carries a hint of humor, he states matter-of-factly, "I'm very concerned about not only my health, but also my safety."
John asked him why they arrested him the day after Cynthia McKinney came to town to support him. He says simply, "They can't stand to see that much power in one man."
He states emphatically, "We have to channel our energy toward justice for all, not one, two, three people… We have to think of every single person—even the ones who don't want to fight, even the ones who don't want to stand up. We have to stand up for them, to show them there is another way of doing things"
He insists that this fight is not about him. If that were the case, he says, "If they get rid of me, they get rid of everybody." Unfortunately for Berrien County, the opposite has happened: putting the Reverend in a cage has only opened them up for ever greater scrutiny, as the ACLU is now bringing Pinkney's appeal. The National Lawyers Guild has teamed up with him as well. Perhaps the rampant racism that passes for justice in St. Joe will be dragged out in the light for a little while.
Fast-forward to December 18th—a hearing in the BC courthouse to decide the amount of Pinkney's bail pending his appeal. The magistrate, Dennis Wiley, puts me in the mind of a cowboy in a judge suit. I've got a few adjectives to describe him, but "judicious" is not one of them. He sits fuming, hair uncombed, trying to look like a calm bloody lunatic, inventing new ways to stall this proceeding. But this time, with the young ACLU guns present, even the assistant prosecutor is not going along with the usual miscarriage of justice in good old St. Joe. Although the judge practically insisted that he take a few days to come up with written arguments, he didn't take the bait, and the hearing rolls on. As of this writing, though, Pinkney has still not been released. The last I heard, Wiley refused to sign the necessary papers to allow him to return home to his wife.
Last night, I spoke to Dorothy Pinkney. Although her husband isn't home yet, she sees light at the end of the tunnel. "It's the season of miracles," she says.
Pray for a big one.
[Pinkney was released on Dec. 24th, pending his appeal.]

AHA News: Here's What Heart Patients Need to Know About COVID-19 in 2021
THURSDAY, Feb. 11, 2021 (American Heart Association News) -- When COVID-19 was first seen in the United States, now more than a year ago, doctors considered it a respiratory ailment. But that didn't last long.
Researchers have linked the disease caused by the coronavirus directly to multiple heart-related issues. And it has contributed indirectly to deaths among people who had cardiac problems but delayed getting treatment.
Even as vaccines are being rolled out at varying levels across the country, doctors and scientists continue to learn more about COVID-19 and cardiovascular health, but here's what people with heart conditions should know now.
Conditions such as heart failure (where the heart does not pump blood effectively), coronary artery disease (blocked arteries) and cardiomyopathies (weakening, thinning and/or thickening of the heart muscle) lead to more severe cases of COVID-19, according to the "strongest and most consistent evidence" tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
People with obesity, Type 2 diabetes and a lung-related type of high blood pressure known as pulmonary hypertension are also considered at increased risk, according to the CDC. Systemic high blood pressure and cerebrovascular disease (which affects blood vessels in the brain, as in a stroke) might also put people at risk, the CDC says. Such data led the American Heart Association to issue a statement in January encouraging people with cardiovascular risk factors, heart disease or a history of heart attack or stroke to get vaccinated "as soon as possible."
The main concern for people with underlying heart conditions is COVID-19 could cause respiratory stress that would worsen those conditions, said Dr. Nisha Parikh, a clinical cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. For example, it could strain the heart of someone who has had stents or bypass surgery. Or, if a lung infection hits someone with heart failure, "that can be really difficult to treat."
COVID-19 patients face longer-term issues, too.
The research isn't settled, but Parikh is seeing so-called long-haul patients with "a constellation of symptoms, and some of them are cardiac in nature" that linger after they are no longer infected with the virus. Those symptoms range from feeling lightheaded to heart palpitations and chest pain. "We've been looking into what could be causing that."
She noted that some research has found scarred hearts in COVID-19 patients. Excessive blood clotting is a serious concern, as is the effect of the virus on the inner lining of blood vessels.
So, people with underlying conditions need to be extra careful, Parikh said. That means following what's now time-honored advice.
"Wear the mask. Stay socially distant. And take the vaccine if offered," said Parikh, who has had her shots. "Because that will be the quickest way all of us can get through this safely."
Heart patients should continue taking their usual medications. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which are used to treat conditions such as high blood pressure and heart failure, were scrutinized at the start of the pandemic, but studies yielded good news. "They have no effect on COVID-19 disease severity in those with mild to moderate COVID-19, and a handful of studies suggest they might even be protective," Parikh said.
People having heart, stroke or other symptoms that might require emergency care shouldn't hesitate to get help, she said. "I think the chance of getting COVID-19 once you hit the hospital setting is pretty low because of all the safety measures." But delaying care – as many people did – might be deadly. Studies suggest the initial coronavirus surge brought increases in fatal heart attacks, possibly due to delayed care.
Parikh worries that might be happening again. "This is anecdotal, but I am a bit concerned that with the recent surge of COVID-19, people again might be avoiding the hospital."
People also need to take care of their mental health, she said. The pandemic has been "a huge psychological stress on all of us, our heart patients included, and I think that it's really important to recognize and acknowledge."
With social isolation, she said, "there is a lot of anxiety and sometimes depression, as well. And those are all risk factors for any heart condition getting worse – or if you're predisposed to a heart condition, for one to happen."
Staying connected digitally or finding ways to meet in-person safely can help, experts say.
Finally, Parikh said, we should all look forward to better days ahead. "I'm really hopeful about the vaccines, and that they will change the trajectory of the pandemic soon," she said. "I see a light at the end of the tunnel."

How Replatforming to a Cloud Data Warehouse Could End Your Career
Examining three replatforming misconceptions and learning how to overcome them may save you from a resume-generating event.
By Mike Waas
The pandemic has been a wake-up call of enormous proportions for many IT departments. To compete effectively in a post-COVID-19 economy, companies realized they needed to embrace the cloud, urgently. How they lay the foundation in the cloud will matter for many years to come. As always, data is at the heart of the matter.
Plan Carefully when Migrating to a Cloud Data Warehouse
Defining the Hybrid Data Warehouse
Modernizing the Logical Data Warehouse
The most critical first step is to devise and implement a replatforming strategy from the on-premises enterprise data warehouse (EDW) to a counterpart in the cloud including every department connected to the EDW and every major revenue source that depends on it. Its importance cannot possibly be overstated.
If IT executes well on the replatforming strategy, they will accelerate revenue, reduce cost, and ensure they achieve compliance. If they execute poorly, replatforming may turn into a quagmire -- and end careers. Learning from others' mistakes in this space offers a few vital lessons. Let's examine a few mistakes often made by IT leaders and how to overcome each one of them.
Mistake #1: Not Knowing What's in Your EDW
Few enterprise IT executives have sufficient clarity when it comes to the operations of their on-premises EDW. Over the years, more business users started tapping the EDW for its incredibly valuable data, so it's no surprise the system has become home to a myriad of workloads. Some are well-designed although others reflect the ad hoc nature of the projects from which they originated.
Many service providers offer assessments that promise to help. However, most assessments stop at the number of statements run each day and the total volume of data on disk. This rather primitive level of insight does not help much when preparing for a migration. If anything, it may provide a false sense of security up-front and lead to disaster down the road.
A successful replatforming strategy needs to take many inputs into account. Among others, they include statistics about the use of specific features, the complexity of statements, and data dependencies. These parameters will be critical to prioritize work. In some cases, they may identify workload patterns that will pose challenges for the destination data warehouse.
To avoid flying blind, enterprises must get a full workup of their EDW and have their vendor produce detailed insights that translate directly into a comprehensive project plan.
Mistake #2: Going Full Monty and Rewriting Everything
Replatforming is all too often viewed as an opportunity to clean house. Combining migration with modernization can be tempting. Especially for decision-makers who are unfamiliar with the history of the EDW, a Big Bang approach may be seen as a strategic career move. However, it may be one they come to regret.
It is not only the ego of an IT leader that is to blame. Database vendors are equally guilty. They often push the notion that large-scale rewriting is both easy and desirable. The notion that rewrites are always better is stubbornly held. Quite often, this is an excuse to gloss over the lack of a specific feature on the destination system.
As tempting as it is, the clean slate approach is almost always a bad idea. Combining migration with modernization is probably the number one reason projects fail. Overly ambitious business users pile on to an already oversubscribed IT team. Ultimately, a project balloons in scope until it finally collapses under its own weight.
Instead of boiling the ocean, separate the migration from modernization. Migrate first and start tapping into the benefits of the cloud immediately. Then, and only then, start looking at modernizing.
Mistake #3: Misunderstanding What's Needed
Not surprisingly, few IT organizations have ever replatformed their EDW. At most, they moved individual workloads or rewrote select applications. Almost always, queries have been customized across both ETL workflows and analytics. In a complete replatforming, a staggeringly large body of SQL needs to be reworked.
Many tools have emerged recently to address this problem. They promise to automatically convert SQL from existing applications and generate syntax for the new destination data warehouse. In practice, syntax conversion is confined to success rates of below 75 percent. It erroneously assumes that for every SQL term used on the original system there is an equivalent one in the destination system.
Although 75 percent may sound great at first, it is of surprisingly limited impact. Replatforming is an 80/20 problem if there's ever been one. That is to say, solving even 80 percent of the problem reduces the overall cost and effort by only 20 percent. One can see quickly why syntax conversion makes great headway at the beginning yet can never finish the job.
Avoid this time-delayed blow-up by having your vendor demonstrate they can truly deal with 95 percent or more of the workload. More important, make sure they can demonstrate this in a proof-of-concept or pilot implementation in the course of just a few weeks.
Get Smart Before You Get Going
Replatforming your EDW to the cloud is every IT leader's biggest challenge. To be successful, your approach needs to incorporate three things:
Get clarity from the beginning. A vendor that cannot provide the insight and a detailed plan taking into account intrinsic details of the workloads is probably not qualified.
Pick your battles and your workloads. Do not succumb to the temptation to reinvent the business when resources can be used more favorably.
Insist on a timely pilot implementation of a representative workload including ETL. Do not accept vague projections and hearsay of successful replatforming initiatives.
In our experience, any major data warehouse can be replatformed to the cloud in 12-18 months. There is no need for projects that take 3 to 5 years. Remember, there are no shortcuts to complete this kind of work in just a couple of months. With the guidelines above, IT leaders can accomplish a move within a reasonable timeframe while controlling the risk.

This is sort of long, I apologize but I could really use some help figuring this out. On August 29th I had my teeth whitened. I had it done in my dentist's office, in the states - which I have learned makes a difference. They used a 35% concentrated paste of peroxide, wherein the UK uses a 6% version. I managed to go through 5 treatments in a 3 hour period before I could not take the pain in my teeth anymore. I found out later that I should have been using a special toothpaste for 2 weeks prior to having this done and should have taken IBproufen that morning. The assistant who was working on my teeth was a flighty girl and told me not to swallow while I had the paste on my teeth, which is impossible as you're laying nearly flat for 3 hours and awake so swallowing happens. I am pretty sure she should have let me have the sucker thing since she left me alone in the room and only came back to rinse the peroxide down my throat and put more paste on.
Anyway, the 31st of August I had blood in my stool. This lasted for a few days and by the time I could get an appointment with my GP, it had stopped. I asked her if it could have been caused by the teeth bleaching and she said absolutely not, starting it must be a hemmroid (sp) and offered me a rectal exam which I declined. That same day I noticed that my hair had changed texture drastically. It has a waxy feel to it, like I sprayed it with hairspray and didn't wash it out. The only hair products I use are shampoo and conditioner. I thought maybe it was something in the water and/or my shampoo so I changed my hair cleaners, I've tried about 10 different combinations of shampoo and conditioner, and have since moved to the UK, so obviously the fact that the water here is different means it wasn't the water.
The 11th of September, my urine turned a very dark color and was cloudy. This lasted until the 13th and that's when the first pain started. The afternoon of the 13th I had a dull ache in my lower back on my right side that lasted for about an hour the first time and then about a half hour the second time. I didn't really think too much of it since it didn't last very long. I moved to the UK on the 16th. On the 18th I had pain again. It began right along my lower spine and included twinges in my intestine and lower abdomen on the right side. I also had intense pain in that spot of my lower back on the right which lasted about 5 hours. I took 400mg IBproufen and finally fell asleep after trying to breathe through the pain. The next morning I felt better.
Around lunch time on the 19th the pain returned. Beginning on the left side under my ribs. It felt a bit like I had swallowed a razor blade. I was in pain for a total of 8 hours with the majority of it being in that spot in my lower back again but with episodes of aches and twinges in my intestine and I would suppose my appendix. I took 800mg of IBproufen and 2 paracetamol in that 8 hours before falling asleep. My mother believes I had a kidney stone as my urine output was nonexistent during this time even though I drink about 3 litres a day.
Things have been well and good until a few hours ago when I the pain in my back began again. It isn't nearly as bad as it was last week; it feels sore like something is pinched in the muscle. I have drunk a litre of water since 2PM and it is now 4:40PM and have had no urine output. I have also taken 2 paracetamol for the pain. (I'm not one for pain killers and consider myself quite strong when it comes to dealing with pain naturally.) Along with this, my hair still feels like there is wax in it, which is all sorts of gross.
BTW I'm a 23 year old girl and my diet hasn't changed in probably 10 years. I'm not on any medications.

Men's b-ball streak snapped -dlh
The St. Norbert men's basketball team came into Alexander Gym last Tuesday night, and shot the lights out. Shooting over 60 percent from behind the three-point arc, the Green Knights snapped Lawrence men's 18-game at-home winning streak with an 84-76 victory over the Vikings.
The Vikings were behind from the early on. The Green Knights came out on fire, hitting everything in sight, and stymieing a Vikings offense. The Green Knights ran up an 18-4 lead only six minutes into the game. To the Vikings' credit, they came back with a vengeance.
The Vikings narrowed the Green Knights' lead with some superb playing from freshman Ben Rosenblatt, and All-American Chris Braier. The Vikings came all the way back from the 14-point deficit, and took a 27-26 lead on a lay-up by Braier with 5:26 to go in the first half.
The Green Knights got hot once again and the Vikings cold; the Green Knights would pull away as the first half came to a close. After three-pointer with 2 seconds left from NBA range by Aaron Faulkner, the Green Knights held a 42-30 advantage at the break.
The second half started just like the first, ad Eric DeJardine hit the first shot, a three, to increase the Green Knight lead to its largest point, 15 points a 45-30 to start the second half. The Vikings immediately answered with a trey by Jason Holinbeck, and the comeback was on once again. For the second time in the game, the Vikings overcame a huge Green Knight lead and took the lead, this time on a free throw by Braier with 8:16 to go in the game.
The Vikings would increase their lead all the way to four points, before once again they grew cold and the Green Knights came back. St. Norbert retook the lead with 4:28 to go on an Aaron Washington lay-up, and Faulkner added another three on the next possession to put the game nearly out of reach for LU. The Vikings grew cold in the last 2 minutes, and couldn't hit a shot to save their lives; the Green Knights would hold on to upset the 10th-ranked-nationally Vikings.
Travis Hansen, who had 21 points, led St. Norbert. Faulkner would add 19 for the Green Knights. They would shoot 64.7 percent from behind the three-point arc, and 60 percent overall in the game. The Vikings, in comparison, only shot 42.6 percent for the game.
LU was led by Braier, who finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds. The Vikings have their next three games all at-home in Alexander Gym. The Vikings host Illinois College at 7:30 tonight, Knox at 4 tomorrow and Carroll at 7:30 Tuesday night.

Woman faced felony charges over unreturned 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' VHS that was rented in 2000
Rental store closed in 2008

A former Oklahoma resident recently discovered she was facing felony charges for failing to return a VHS tape that was rented in her name more than 20 years ago from a store in the state that went out of business more than a decade ago.
According to KOKH-TV and KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City, Caron McBride made the discovery when she tried to change the name on her Texas driver's license after getting married. During the process, Texas officials told her there was an "issue" in Oklahoma that needed to be taken care of.
"The first thing she told me was felony embezzlement, so, I thought I was going to have a heart attack," McBride told KOKH.
According to KOKH and KFOR, online documents show that McBride had been charged with embezzlement of rented property in March 2000. The charges stemmed from a rented tape of the popular '90s sitcom "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch."
The tape had been rented from "Movie Place," a video rental store in Norman, Oklahoma that closed in 2008.
McBride told KOKH that she's "never watched that show in my entire life, just not my cup of tea."
She added that the video may have been rented in her name by a man she was living with at the time. She said he may have rented the tape for his daughters.
Luckily for McBride, KFOR reports that prosecutors in Cleveland County have decided to drop the case. However, McBride says she's been denied several job opportunities over the years and noted that pending felony charges may have played a role.
"When they ran my criminal background check, all they're seeing is those two words: felony embezzlement," McBride told KOKH.
While prosecutors have dropped charges against McBride, she'll still need to take further action to get the charges expunged from her record.

Piero Dorazio Dies at Seventy-Seven
Piero Dorazio, who died on Tuesday at the age of seventy-seven, The Telegraph reports, was one of the leading figures in modern painting in Italy, and responsible for reviving the Futurist and Abstract movements. Dorazio's work owed much to his early association in New York with figures such as Clement Greenberg, the critic responsible for promoting abstract expressionism, and with leading practitioners in the field, such as Clyfford Still, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko. But Dorazio's own paintings tended also to draw heavily on the techniques of Concrete Art and the Futurists, and his later work was centered on large pieces which created structural reductions of form, particularly by utilizing primary color fields to explore the decorative possibilities of linear and plane compositions.

WATER CONTROL of the mine workings (EN: hose-proof mining, water-proofness of mine workings; DE: Wasserschutz der Gruben; FR: protection des voies contre l'arrivee d'eau; ES: proteccion de los tajos contra las aguas; RU: водозащита) is the system of the activities for the prevention or limiting of the inflow of the superficial, underground, and mine waters into the mine workings (mainly into the extracting stopes), with the purpose of the ensuring of the economical and safe conditions for the conducting of the mining works.
The water control against the superficial waters includes: the interception of the waters of the slope runoff (on the way of the movement of these waters to the zones of the subsidence of the surface, and to the opencast mine workings) with the help of the superficial water control devices (of the upland water-diverting ditches and dams); the shielding of the channels of the watercourses within the limits of the underground mine (or of the open-pit mine) fields, using the methods of the cementation, claying, concreting, and others; the diversion of the water from the water bodies and watercourses beyond the limits of the underground mine (or of the open-pit mine) fields through the ditches, or the pumping-out of the water using the pumps; the plugging of the cracks of the subsidence on the surface of the ground (or within the underground mines), using the clayish and other material, or the leveling and compaction of the edges of the troughs of the subsidence; the pumping-out of the water-storm waters from the troughs of the subsidence, using the pumps, which are installed onto the pontoons; the usage of the systems for the development without the preservation of the pillars, with the stowing of the goaf space.
The protection of the mine workings against the underground waters is performed at the deposits with the complicated hydrogeological conditions with the help of the drainage or barrage devices (see the "Lowering of the water level", "Drainage", and "Barrage" articles), while at the deposits with the relatively simple hydrogeological conditions, the protection is performed using the modification of the technology of the mining works (the positioning of the extracting places near to the exhausted and drained areas; the placement of the priority extracting places on the path of the movement of the flow of the underground waters; the usage of the systems for the development with the stowing of the goaf space, and so on).
For the protection against the underground mine waters, there is ensured the prevention of the sudden breakthroughs of the water from the flooded mine workings, and the regulation of the runoff of the internal waters of the underground mines and open-pit mines within the extracting and overburden stripping places. The protection against the waters from the flooded mine workings is performed using the pumping-out of the water, or using the preservation of the reliable pillars within the flooded mine workings, which are situated hypsometrically above the extracting places, and using the creation of the water-impermeable bulkheads (including the automatic bulkheads). The regulation of the runoff of the internal waters of the underground mine (of the open-pit mine) is performed with the help of the pumping-out of the water, with the help of the diversion of the water, and with the help of the barrage, and within the extracting places, using the deviation of the direction of the excava tion from the direction of the dip of the sole of the useful minerals, which action permits us to divert the waters from the extracting stopes into the goaf space or into the lateral mine workings; with the help of the continuous advancement of the extracting stope (if possible, with the high speed), for the decreasing of the duration of the contact of the water with the broken and country rocks, and also for the decreasing of the inflows of the water into the near-stope space; using the method of the usage of the portable pumps for the timely pumping of the water, which is accumulating within the troughs near the stopes.
During the designing of the systems for the water control, there are used the data from the exploration of the deposits of the useful minerals, while for the deposits with the complicated conditions, there are performed the additional observations and instrumental measurements at the analogous underground mines and open-pit mines, there are also used the modeling within the laboratories, and the analytical methods for the calculation with the usage of the modern means of the computing equipment. The prospective directions for the development of the water control are associated with the study and accounting of the filtration anisotropy of the massif of the water-bearing rocks, with the perfecting of the analytical methods for the calculation and modeling of the drainage, barrage, and so on.


In October, USS Lassen, a guided missile destroyer, sailed within 12 nautical miles of an island China is building in the Spratly Islands.
BEIJING: China today hit out at US' "irresponsible" move to send a warship near a disputed island in the strategic South China Sea to challenge its sovereignty, warning that America's deliberate provocations would have "extremely dangerous consequences" to regional stability.
The Chinese armed forces will take whatever measures necessary to safeguard China's sovereignty and security, no matter what provocations the US side may take, China's Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said.
Yang's statement came hours after the USS Curtis Wilbur, a guided missile destroyer, sailed within 12 nautical miles of the Zhongjian Dao (Triton Island), part of the Xisha Islands (Paracel Islands)-- an archipelago claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
"This operation was about challenging excessive maritime claims that restrict the rights and freedoms of the United States and others, not about territorial claims to land features," a US Defence Department spokesman Commander Bill Urban said in Washington yesterday.
But Yang described the US move as "very unprofessional and irresponsible" for the safety of the troops of both sides, and may cause "extremely dangerous consequences".
He said the US act severely violated Chinese law, sabotaged the peace, security and good order of the waters, and undermined the region's peace and stability. The Chinese Defense Ministry is firmly against this, he said.
The South China Sea is rich in natural resources. It is also a major shipping lane. Over half of the world's commercial shipping passes through the Indo-Pacific waterways.
China claims almost the whole of the South China Sea, resulting in overlapping claims with several other Asian nations like Vietnam and the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
In October, USS Lassen, a guided missile destroyer, sailed within 12 nautical miles of an artificial island China is building in the Spratly Islands.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also came out with a separate statement, calling on the US to respect and abide by China's laws, and not to undermine the mutual trust and regional peace and stability.
"The US warship violated Chinese law and entered China's territorial sea without authorisation. The Chinese side conducted surveillance and vocal warnings to the US warship," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.
Defence Ministry spokesman Yang claimed that China's law on the territorial sea and contiguous zone accords with the international law and practice.
"The US side is fully aware of this, yet it still sent its warship into China's territorial sea without authorisation. It is a deliberate provocation," Yang said, adding that Chinese military "warned and expelled" the US warship from the South China Sea area "swiftly".
