While there is normally more than one factor behind the decision of a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical organisation to outsource its global manufacturing, it seems the ever-important cost-saving potential remains among the main attraction of external production, particularly where emerging markets are concerned.
A recent Pharma IQ survey conducted with key members of the pharma and biopharma community revealed that, while 54.5 percent of organisations outsource less than half of their global manufacturing, 18.2 percent currently use outsourcing for at least 91 percent of their output. These basic findings support a recent report by Global Industry Analysts (GIA), which predicted that the global pharmaceutical contract manufacturing market would reach a total value in excess of $40.7 billion (£24.4 billion) by 2015.
Why outsource global pharmaceutical production?
The analysts at GIA suggested that key factors driving such expansion included soaring demand for new drugs, increasing need for R&D productivity and efficiency, as well as the desire to make cost savings where possible. The report also noted the fact that many pharma and biotech companies simply lack sufficient manufacturing capabilities internally. In fact, the Pharma IQ research found that 70 percent of organisations cite lack of internal capacity as the number one reason for outsourcing some or all of their production.
Meanwhile, 45 percent revealed that a shortage of expertise was the key driver behind their outsourced manufacturing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 60 percent named the potential for cost savings as global outsourcing's most appealing feature. Upon publication of its findings in January 2011, GIA commented: "Today, manufacturing capacity constraints are only one of the reasons for outsourcing.
"Pharmaceutical manufacturing entails sophisticated technology and strict regulatory compliance. Outsourcing such activities to CMOs enables a pharma company to expedite its R&D, and thus realise the potential revenues. Moreover, CMOs are increasingly offering a wide range of value-added services, which make outsourced pharmaceutical contract manufacturing an indispensable opportunity to pharma companies," the analysts added.
In terms of product type, it is the manufacture of finished form medicines that is most commonly outsourced. The latest Pharma IQ research indicates that 72.7 percent of organisations currently use outsourcing in global finished form production, while 36.4 percent produce APIs and 31.8 per cent manufacture biopharmaceuticals via external means.
Geographically, the US represents the largest regional market for pharmaceutical contract manufacturing globally. According to the GIA'smost-recent analysis, Europe trails behind the US, though future growth in the market is expected to emanate from developing regions, particularly the Asia Pacific. "The Japanese market for pharmaceutical contract manufacturing alone is projected to register a compounded annual growth rate of 12.8 percent during the [next four years]," the authors added.
Outsourcing production to emerging global markets like Japan, China, India and Brazil is increasingly popular in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Speaking to the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) in 2010, Richard Soll, senior vice president for integrated services at WuXi AppTec, agreed that it is largely these regions' potential for lower costs which makes them so attractive.
"As in many cases, economics proved to be a deciding factor; the theme for any industry is how to get the most bang for your buck. It's become a priority for the pharmaceutical industry, because they're facing some serious challenges, notably the stagnant drug development process that ends up approving only 20 to 25 new drugs a year," he said. "So, the industry is trying to retool itself, following an era of mergers and acquisitions, to bring down costs and get more drugs to market."
Mr Soll went on to suggest that, for many organisations, a short-term solution is merely to outsource the early stages of drug development, such as screening and validation, where savings can be made with overseas CROs. Over the past decade or so, the ever-intensifying battle for cost-effective drug development has seen this mentality permeate the entire process. As a result, emerging markets now represent a core target for a huge number of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Which emerging markets and why?
The recent Pharma IQ survey backed up the latest GIA analysis, indicating that the Asia Pacific region will in fact play a major role in the future development of global pharmaceutical contract manufacturing. In fact, 76.9 percent of pharma and bio firms named India as the country in which they outsource production the most. Not far behind with 53.8 percent of responses was China, while Russia and Latin American nations, most notably Brazil, each accounted for 15.4 percent.
In recent years, the global pharmaceutical industry has been witnessing unprecedented waves of dramatic change. Most significant have been the increased competition in generic markets, declining R&D productivity, shrinking average patent life and mounting government pressure to reduce drug prices. At the same time, the drug development process is already known to extend as far as anywhere between eight and 15 years, with the cost of bringing a single new molecule to market exceeding $800 million.
With so few new blockbuster drugs emerging, the decisive factors for growth and sustainability are unquestionably quicker development and cheaper production. As a result of the latter, the global market for pharmaceutical contract manufacturing continues to witness robust growth. With the recent economic recession, which severely impacted drug makers across the world, firms have increasingly sought ways to find ways of minimising their costs.
Though manufacturers will be hoping that the most challenging times are behind them, it is reasonable to suggest that the global market for outsourced drug production will continue leaping from strength to strength. If constraints on drug development remain as they are – or indeed worsen – the future could hold magnificent prospects for the emerging markets that have already saved swathes of the industry from the threat of extinction.

The Coordination Unit for Threat Analysis (OCAM) calls Wahhabism "one-dimensional Islam," adding that it is "spreading in the Muslim world, including Muslim minorities in the West." According to the report, many Sunni Muslims consider Wahhabi principles to be the norm these days.
Thus, "a moderate imam in his mosque" can do nothing about this "media violence," the report concludes.

US Trophy Hunter Exposed After He Paid $30,000 To Kill Lion
The 12-year-old animal reportedly suffered for 24 hours after being shot with a bow and arrow.

An American big game hunter, Phillip Smith, has been named as the killer of a 12-year-old lion in Zimbabwe, according to animal rights activists.
The 46-year-old physical therapist from Missouri paid $30,000 to slaughter the lion named Mopane with a bow and arrow earlier this month. The animal reportedly suffered for 24 hours before dying.
Mopane was a favorite among residents of the Hwange National Park, as well as international tourists who visited the area to catch a glimpse of him. It is believed that the lion was lured outside of the protected area of the park using bait before being shot by Smith. While trophy hunting is legal in Zimbabwe, it is banned in national parks.
Smith was reportedly joined by Dennis Nyakane, a professional hunter and guide of South Africa hunting operator Chattaronga Safaris. Mopane's killer and another tourist had allegedly shot a leopard earlier in their trip.
Typically, a 15-day big game hunting safari costs between $30,000 to $40,000. 24 of the 62 lions tagged by Oxford University researchers in Hwange National Park over a five-year period in the early 2000s have since been killed by trophy hunters.
"The perverse pleasure some people derive from killing iconic animals brought this noble lion's life to a tragic end," said Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. Another trophy hunter spending tens of thousands of dollars on a globe-trotting thrill-to-kill escapade shows humanity at its worst. It is shameful that the U.S. has the distinction of being the world's biggest importer of hunting trophies. Enough is enough."
The news comes six years after the death of Cecil the lion who was slaughtered by another U.S. hunter just yards from where Mopane was killed.
Cecil the lion was killed in a national park in 2015 by US dentist, Walter Palmer
Like Cecil who headed up a lion pride, Mopane was a dominant pride leader at the time of his death. He leaves behind two lionesses and six offspring of about 16 to 18 months old in the Somadada pride, and two other lionesses and two six-month-old cubs in Gululava Pride.
There are now concerns around what will happen to the two prides in light of Mopane's death, according to Block: "Mopane was a father and played a significant role in his pride. Without him, his pride is now vulnerable to takeover by another male or group of males, which may lead to the killing of the cubs and females in his pride."
Lions are classified as "vulnerable", according to the Worldwide Fund for Nature, with only approximately 20,000 adult lions left in the wild in Africa.
Between 2009 and 2018, 7,667 lion trophies were traded internationally, including into the U.S. and the European Union.
According to a report by The Washington Post, it could take years for Biden to restore wildlife protections erased by Trump.

You are here: Home / Heart / Thoughts / Changing.
I have dealt with people changing,so that is not one of my problems.The problem is dealing with a changed self and when I say this,I am certainly not talking the changes that age puts me through,not the change from half-pants to full-pants or from oiled hair to gelled hair.What has really frightened me and perplexed me is the change in me,as a being and the changes that have made silent altercations to the cognitive whole that I was.
It sounds dramatic but it seems like I am living in pieces-it is like a disintegration that is absurd.I have stopped being a whole and swapped myself for a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces I remember seeing but have now lost.And honestly,I do not have the energy to search for them.
I was a different person,I used to take random photographs of you and not lock my camera up in the cupboard.I used to run and not sleep.Now I do not sleep as because I do not feel sleepy or sometimes I sleep throughout the day.I used to laugh so hard.I remember that I used to make you laugh a lot.
Now I do not laugh as I do not want to show my ugly,nicotine-coated teeth to others.Or, may be I do not feel like laughing.I am not quite sure what I miss or what I long for.I am also not quite sure whether I can do anything to bring myself some clarity.Yet,I like this life.This head of mine is full of memories.My memories and your memories…the taste of the food that I used to cook for you,the sharp smell of the men's deodorant that you use is there in my nostrils,my pillows and the slight taste of your lips through the cigarette that we used to share and many more.

Q: Do I need a migration to change type Int to Long? There is a birthday field in my RealmObject class which is a type of Int?. I need to change this field's type to Long?. I don't know whether I would need a migration or not.
From realm docs :

The integer types byte, short, int, and long are all mapped to long within Realm.

I have tried to install a version of the app without deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded (meaning that Realm will try to do a migration if needed) on emulator and then changed the field from Int? to Long?. No crashes or exceptions. Also when I pulled my realm file from emulator, field's type stayed the same and still is Int?.
open class Profile : RealmObject() {

    @PrimaryKey
    var id = ""
    var email = ""
    var firstName = ""
    var lastName = ""
    var dateJoined = 0
    var gender: String? = null
    var birthday: Int? = null // I want to change this to Long?
}

What I am expecting is that I will need no migrations for this scenario. But I don't want to push the update without getting a real answer.

A: It is confirmed that there is no migration needed for this case. Do I need a migration to change type Int to Long?

UNIVERSITY CENTER -- The SVSU Baseball team finished its weekend series versus Grand Valley State on Monday, posting a game one victory by a 9-5 score before coming back in the second game and tying it 5-5 before it was called due to darkness.
The Cards improve to 12-9-1 overall and 6-1-1 in the GLIAC while the Lakers are now 8-14-1 and 1-6-1 in league contests.
After GVSU went for two runs in the 1st, SVSU scored six in the bottom to take a 6-2 lead. Craig Wilson had an RBI double, Austin Koin a two-RBI single and Andrew Burke cleared the loaded bases later with a three-RBI double.
Two more runs came the home team's way in the 2nd after Wilson and Koin had RBI again, pushing the Saginaw Valley lead out to 8-2.
Each team scored in the 5th, with SV's coming when Collin Winters walked with the bases loaded, making the score 9-3. GVSU added two in the top of the 7th, but that was all and the Cardinals claimed the 9-5 victory.
Koin was 2-3 with a double, two runs and three RBI with a walk. Burke had the double and three RBI. Wilson went 2-2 with a run, walk and two RBI. Winters finished 1-2 with two walks, an RBI and two runs scored.
Kyle Henigan (3-1) got the win on the mound, working 5.0 innings. He allowed three runs on five hits with four strikeouts and five walks.
After the Cardinals took a 1-0 edge in the home half of the 1st on a Jordan Swiss RBI double that scored Derrek Clyde, GV went for a pair of runs in the 3rd and 5th innings, respectively, taking a 4-1 lead.
SVSU got another run in the bottom of the 7th when Joshua Riggs put a ball in play that was booted by the third baseman, leading to Burke scoring on the error and trimming the deficit to 4-2.
In the top of the 8th, GV got a solo home run and made the lead three runs at 5-2.
As darkness crept in, the Cardinals had one last at-bat to get back into the game in the home half of the 8th.
They would do just that, using a hit and two walks to load the bases before Burke had a sac fly to plate Adam Turner to make the count 5-3. Clyde would later reach on a throwing error by shortstop that pulled the first baseman off the bag and allowed Koin to score, making it 5-4. The next play saw Winters add a sac fly, pushing across pinch runner Thomas Loftus to tie the game at 5-5.
After the 8th ended, the game was called and deemed with the 5-5 score.
Clyde had two hits in four trips with a run and RBI. Swiss had an RBI and a double. Burke added an RBI on a sac fly while Turner and Kania each added a hit.
Camden Dice got the start, allowing four runs (3 ER) on six hits with two walks and a pair of strikeouts. Chase Gearing worked 3.1 innings of relief, allowing a single run with three walks and two strikeouts.
The Cardinals host Ashland this weekend for a four-game series. First game will be at 3:05 p.m. Friday at the SVSU Baseball Complex.

Capitol Wildlife Report: Busy Week in Helena
Nick Gevock
Things picked up last week at the Capitol, with a host of bills addressing hunting licenses, fishing-access-site maintenance, and hunting access to state lands. Several bills that have already passed one chamber of the Legislature moved over to the other side and received hearings. In addition, several new bills were heard.
SB 119, sponsored by Sen. Jedidiah Hinkle, R-Bozeman, would add to the list of reduced-price hunting licenses for Montana-born hunters, youth and college students. No one spoke for the bill, and MWF opposed it. MWF believes we need to maintain that the license structure put in place last session by HB 140, which simplified licenses and put FWP on a stable financial path.
Fishing-Access-Site Fee
HB 204, sponsored by Rep. Alan Redfield, R-Livingston, would have created a $25 per boat user fee for fishing-access sites. The funding would go toward controlling weeds, fighting aquatic invasive species, and other site maintenance. MWF opposed the bill, but said the concept was good. We recommended a fee per vehicle that uses fishing-access sites. Stay tuned to see if we can work out a solution on this bill.
Sage Grouse Funding
In 2015, a broad coalition of industry, agriculture, and conservation groups passed Montana's plan for sage grouse conservation. Now after two years, the program needs its funding renewed, and that's a tall order given the tight state budget. MWF joined the partners to support HB 228, sponsored by Rep. Jim Keane, D-Butte, to allocate $2 million per year for the program. In addition to conserving sage-grouse, Montana's sagebrush-steppe habitats are key for numerous other game and non-game species.
Negotiating Access Issues
MWF has been heavily engaged with Rep. Kelly Flynn, R-Townsend and chairman of the House FWP committee, to develop a bill to put more funding into the popular Block Management Program. We will continue working toward a deal on the bill to gain more public hunting access.
Last week, we led opposition to an amendment to HB 96, a bill allowing nonresident landowners to get licenses for family or ranch employees in exchange for allowing public hunters on their property. The amendment would have opened up those licenses to be given to anyone, which would lead to abuse and under-the-table deals to sell licenses. Thank you to all the MWF members who called in opposition to this bill, your calls make a big difference!
This week will be busy at the Capitol. We will be hearing two bills that would reduce the price of hunting licenses for certain nonresidents, HB 315 and HB 318, sponsored by Reps. Jeff Essmann and Steve Lavin, respectively. We will also have bills on county bounties for predators, HB 305, sponsored by Rep. Bill Harris, R-Winnett; banning feeding of wild turkeys, SB 111 sponsored by Sen. Keith Regier, R-Kalispell; and a bill cleaning up state law on state management of wolves, SB 110 sponsored by Sen. Mike Phillips, D-Bozeman.
As always, check the Montana Wildlife Federation bill tracker at montanawildlife.org for the most up-to-date information on bills and where they're at in the process. For questions, contact MWF conservation director Nick Gevock at [email protected] or by calling 458-0227 ext. 108.

Friendship to me simply means putting your friends needs before yours without regretting it or having second thoughts.
I've been so blessed with alot of people in my life right now, from my family to my best friends and the newly added friend Adaeze I kid you not when I say I haven't met her but she has done more than anyone I've ever met, she's so far away yet feels so close, Ada I want to use this medium to say thank you so much.
People come into your life for a reason and at a particular season, learn to see the good in people despite their shortcomings, we all know how terrible the internet portray women coming together!!!
That's all for today folks…call that friend, text them, tell them you love them, help in any little way you can, pray for them and wish them well.
How would you define friendship? Who are your friends? Are you a good friend?
I like to think I'm a good friend, I could be better as a friend but being better comes from the state of mind. I will be a better friend once my mind and body are in sync.

'Out East: Memoir of a Montauk Summer' by John Glynn
Review by Michael Graves
Just before summer dawns, we can always expect the arrival of the beach read. According to seasonal marketing plans, certain clichés are preserved. Readers stash hot new titles in their weekend totes. Pages are quickly greased with SPF. Kernels of sand become trapped inside, grinding against the inner spine. Some imply that these books are elementary in content or style, yet still pleasantly edible. Despite its publication date, the beach read label does not define John Glynn's debut. Out East: Memoir of a Montauk Summer refashions the epic summer tale, dosed with lyrical brawn, grace, and ingenuity.
Out East is a story of the in between. Glynn reveals his post-collegiate life, a time when he hadn't yet settled into full-blown adulthood. Nearing thirty, he was single, living in New York City and thriving as an editorial assistant at Scribner. After a near-death car accident and the passing of his beloved grandmother, Kicki, Glynn entered emotional paralysis. Gut-wrenching anxiety flares and rounds of loneliness occurred daily. He writes, "At night my thoughts turned dark: I was surrounded by friends, but deeply lonely. Time seemed to pass with no meaning. I worried that life would only get worse. That all the good things–friends, family, nice apartment, good job–would eventually disappear and I would be left with nothing." While the frosty, bleak winter carried on, John's friend, Mike, presented him with an offer: a summer share spot in Montauk, NY. "It's summer camp for adults," a co-worker told him. John didn't feel worthy of such a privilege, but had been recently gifted a small inheritance from his grandmother. "Kicki would have wanted you to," his mother had even urged him.
Glynn recalled the Montauk of his childhood, a place of "fish shacks and sweeping and majestic" beaches. His experience as a twenty-something, though, proved to be quite different. Packed in with sometimes more than twenty other residents, Glynn's weekends were a haze of beaching, pregaming, barhopping and the inevitable hangover therapy the next morning. Amid party time, John grapples with his single status and possibly finding romance with a fellow share-mate, another male. Glynn reveals, "I was so unbalanced, I could barely breathe. These feelings–of love, infatuation, blind euphoria–were entirely foreign to me. I had always anticipated that they'd come attached to a woman."
Out East chronicles one man's coming out. Equally important, this memoir surveys one man's maturation. Of Kicki's funeral, Glynn writes, "I felt awkward in the new suit and worried it was too large and boxy. I tended to avoid wearing formal clothes in general because they made me feel like an imposter, a kid playing dress-up." With beautiful, radical honesty, Out East recounts Glynn's journey to finally filling out that grown-up suit. It may not always be a comfortable fit, but it certainly looks handsome.
Out East personifies summer magic. When the sun meets our skin, instinctively, we long to play. Quite like children we believe, if only for a moment, in the possibilities that summer can promise. This wonder is the fuel for John's awakening and the gorgeous backbone of Out East. Glynn writes, "The idea that you could travel through life with someone seemed like the zenith of happiness. Life, like a double-sticked popsicle, was meant to be cracked down the middle. Here, I'd say. One half for you, one half for me. Red's my favorite flavor, too. When you finish, keep the stick. There's a joke written on it." Summer or not, sharing a cool pop with John Glynn's remarkable Out East will nudge you to believe in believing once again.

As Congress and the President continue to wrangle over raising the debt ceiling, more of us are wondering, what would happen if the debt ceiling isn't raised? To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be Plan A.
The debt ceiling is a cap on the amount of securities the Treasury can issue, something it does to raise money to pay for government expenses. These expenses, and the deficit they've wrought, are a result of past actions by Congress to create entitlement programs, make appropriations and cut taxes. In that sense, raising the debt limit is about paying for past expenses, not controlling future ones. For Congress to refuse to let Treasury raise the cash to pay the bills that Congress itself has run up simply makes no sense.
Larry Rosenthal, a professor at Chapman University School of Law, said … a more persuasive argument is that the agreement in April to fund the government through the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year implicitly increased the debt ceiling. By passing that agreement, Congress essentially instructed Obama to spend money in the coming months. To pay for programs Congress authorized, the government will have to borrow money.
purely as a practical matter, it's far from clear that it's even possible to stop making the 3 million payments that Treasury makes automatically every day. Doing so involves a massive computer-reprogramming effort which I'm sure could not be implemented overnight– and for political reasons nobody is going to get started on such an effort until after all hope is lost for a deal in Congress.
At that point– and no earlier– there would be enormous pressure on the White House to pull out the 14th Amendment and declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional, if only for practical reasons: doing so would be a lot easier than trying to reprogram the computers which are set to send out $49 billion of Social Security checks on August 3. Not to mention that no president ever wants to be the person who stiffed America's seniors on their guaranteed monthly income: a greater failure of leadership can hardly be imagined. On the other hand, saying "enough of you bickering legislators, I'm sworn to uphold the Constitution and do what's in the best interest of the country" is much more presidential.
our plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit. Our fallback plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit, and our fallback to the fallback plan is for Congress to pass the debt limit.
Fellow Americans. Along with the other major developed economies, the United States faces enormous challenges in restoring economic growth and getting our citizens back to work. More than ever, Americans expect our elected representatives to work together to address these problems.
But Congress has been unable to reach agreement on even the most basic measures needed to keep the U.S. government functioning. As of today, the Treasury faces an untenable situation. The Congress has instructed us to maintain a level of expenditures on a broad range of functions. Current tax receipts are insufficient to cover those expenditures. That means that in order to carry out the fiscal plan that Congress has already passed into law, the Treasury would need to borrow additional funds. But Congress has also failed to approve authority to conduct that borrowing.
It is not clear what Congress is instructing me as president to do. Am I supposed to order Social Security payments to our retired citizens to be stopped? Congress has said no, those payments are supposed to be made. Am I supposed to stop paying the salaries for our troops risking their lives to protect us even at this moment as the politicians wrangle? Congress has said no, those payments are to be made. Am I supposed to fail to meet principal or interest payments on existing U.S. debt? The Constitution itself explicitly forbids this.
Anything I instruct the Treasury to do at this point would be in potential conflict with existing legislation, for the simple reason that existing legislation is self-contradicting. I have therefore made a decision that, until instructed otherwise by the Congress, Social Security checks will continue to be sent on time. Soldiers and their families are going to receive the funds that Congress has already authorized. And U.S. debts will always be honored. And I will make sure all this happens by authorizing the Treasury to borrow the funds necessary to implement existing legislation.
It is my hope and expectation that this will only be a temporary arrangement, until Congress can agree on spending, tax, and borrowing legislation that is not self-contradictory. I have faith that, despite our real disagreements, Republicans and Democrats can work together on a plan that is best for our country. But as long as I am President, I am not going to allow political bickering and gridlock to plunge us into even deeper problems than we already face.
Thank you for giving me the time to share this message. And may God continue to bless America.

In discussing this conclusion in depth, the Court observed that warrantless searches are permissible only if they fall within one of the recognized exceptions to the warrant requirement. The protective sweep exception, which derives from Terry v. Ohio, held that police may conduct an investigatory stop if there are "specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inference from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion." The Court also noted that Terry stops are narrowly tailored to allow a reasonable search for weapons. Further, the United States Supreme Court applied the protective sweep exception to a vehicle in Michigan v. Long, and New Jersey adopted that standard in State v. Lund. The standard was discussed further in State v. Gamble. Taken together, Long, Lund and Gamble therefore set the standard for a valid protective sweep of a vehicle that has been stopped. To justify such a search, the State must present specific and articulable facts that, when taken with the rational inferences from those facts, justify a belief that someone in the car is dangerous and may have immediate access to a weapon. Protective sweeps of vehicles cannot be justified by the potential presence of a weapon; rather, the doctrine turns on imminent danger to the police when someone has access to a vehicle that may hold a weapon, or may be able to overpower or evade officers at the scene.
Here, because of the manner in which the officers managed the scene, none of the car's occupants could return to the vehicle or gain access to a weapon. Thus, the record did not contain any specific and articulable facts that would reasonably support the conclusion that any of them were capable of immediately obtaining a weapon at the time the officer searched the vehicle. Thus, the protective sweep exception to the warrant requirement could not be used to justify the search.
Any new New Jersey case that addresses automobile searches is significant because of the central role that cars occupy in people's lives in this State. But because Fourth Amendment law is so fact-sensitive, the real meaning of Henderson will be learned only as it is applied in future cases.

Friedman represents individuals with criminal charges in the New Jersey Superior Court, all New Jersey municipal courts, the New York State criminal courts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and all federal courts in New Jersey and New York City.

Phnom Penh: A 40 -year-old man who was drunk caused traffic congestion when he fell asleep at the wheel of his Toyota at 4:30 pm on December 3, 2018, on Mao Tse Tung Street in Sangkat Tonle Bassac, Chamkarmon.
Traffic police couldn't rouse the driver, and were forced to push the car off the road to free the highway for traffic.
Sources say the car was stopped at the traffic lights, but when it was time to move, the vehicle remained stationary. Police looked and found the man asleep, and after trying to wake him, had no other option than to push the car to one side. He was suspected of being so drunk, he had passed out at the lights.
The wife of the man was contacted, and she arrived shortly afterwards to take her napping husband and the car back home.

Prior to his burial, near the graves of ballerina Galina Ulyanova and singer Lyudmila Zykina, a funeral mass was held at the Christ the Savior Cathedral in central Moscow.
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia remembered Mikhalkov, who penned the lyrics to the Soviet and modern Russian national anthems, as a man who "cared about other people."
"As a children's writer and poet he has entered into the history of Russian literature and that of our nation," Kirill said, adding that "only a truly good person can be a good children's writer."

This review by Dana Crum appeared in the Sept./Oct. 2006 issue of Black Issues Book Review.
Parts of this short novel are so funny I can imagine Langston Hughes pausing to laugh while writing it. In the book a black church starts on a Harlem street corner but soon moves into a thousand-seat theater. The day Crow-For-Day joins the congregation and converts, he confesses his many sins, one of which involved carrying a pistol. There in church he pulls out the gun, and congregants scream and faint. After walking down the aisle with it held over his head, he tosses it out the window to illustrate his conversion.
But Crow-For-Day is merely a supporting cast member. Starring in this novel are Laura and Essie, two welfare recipients who establish the sidewalk church as a way to make money. Laura is devilishly funny. She frequently makes light of Christianity, distorting the Bible, giving its words lascivious, dissolute meanings. Can the Devil quote scripture? Indeed she can.
Essie, on the other hand, is a true believer. Both women benefit financially from the church enterprise, but while Essie's paramount concern is remaining true to God and helping the community, Laura wants only to wring as much cash as possible from the congregants.
In this modern morality tale, Harlem Renaissance—luminary Langston Hughes pokes fun at the excesses of the black church, but never does he mock the black church itself. In fact, he celebrates the institution's goodness, which Essie epitomizes.
Hughes briskly ushers the narrative along in 36 very short chapters. Like poems, the chapters are compressed and have colorful titles.
Though best known for his poetry, Hughes composed in several additional genres, including not just fiction but also drama, children's literature and autobiography. Harlem Moon's publication of Tambourines to Glory —this is its first appearance in trade paperback—means the more neglected of Hughes' two novels may finally get the attention it has long deserved.

I have always wondered why we spend so much money and sacrifice so many young and aspiring lives on wars in the guise of peace. It is almost as if peace was an afterthought and war the goal. If war is the means to peace and stability then why do we wage so many wars and achieve so little peace? It is more likely the wars we lose end up in peace and stability than the wars we win. If one is so the antitheses of the other, how is it possible that it can bring about the other?
Yet wars and battles are fought by us to killing and destroying ones enemies with the goal to achieve lasting peace. Wars are full of complex contradictions. Today's battles are far more inhumane that those fought in ancient times even though we mislead ourselves into believing they are more civilized. The damage to the human body and spirit are far worst than those fought by the barbarian hordes. There is no honor or dignity in battle, only savagery, extreme suffering and gut wrenching fear. It is a license to kill and a struggle to stay alive, life with questionable value. It is where heroes are insane and cowards are most rational. War is all about ego for the political leaders who wage them as a perceived quick fix for political gain.
Peace on the other hand is all about understanding, compassion, and cooperation. It is expressed honestly and openly and is amazingly simple, a higher level of human endeavor called trust. It is enduring and enhances survival and socialization, traits best characterized by social animals. It engenders dignity, harmony and long-lasting peace.
So if war is so complex and savage and peace so simple and good why not use peaceful means instead of threats of war having had such poor results to engender peaceful resolution to differences?
In fact all adversarial governments have political leaders whom our government must deal with. Rebel forces that we fight also have leaders. These are not simply nation entities that we deal with but people who run nations and political or religious organizations. So when trying to bring about peace as we see it we are really dealing with human beings who share many of the human traits so common among men. Perhaps all those in government who are part of the negotiating and decision-making process should take conflict resolution courses and use these skills to try brokering a peaceful deal. Our politicians are so used to using ultimatums and employing overwhelming force which almost always fails because we have the most powerful military force in the world at their disposal. Compromise is seldom used and has become a forgotten art.
Congress and the presidency are perfect example of this process. How well does our government get things done this way? If we cannot resolve our domestic conflicts how can we expect to successfully resolve far more complex foreign issues? Our political culture is entirely based upon confrontation, upon overwhelming ones opponents through intimidation and humiliation. Even everyday people do not take confrontation, intimidation, and humiliation well. How can we expect foreign leaders to negotiate under such conditions?
Politics should be about the art of compromise. Compromise only happens when both parties are willing partners in a dialog to rationally discuss what is most important to each. Not every point of compromise has equal value otherwise there is little to compromise. But such priorities must have a rational basis without preconceived assumptions that we have a tendency to make. War should be an absolute last resort, reserved for rare circumstances.
In conflict resolution there is a general rule that if one shows an honest effort towards friendliness the opposing side is more likely to reciprocate in return. Breaking the ice is key to the start of fruitful negotiations. So why can we not learn how to resolve conflicts. Perhaps Congress might become more functional if Congregational lenders lead used conflict resolution principles. And perhaps the price of peace could be far less expensive and longer lasting than the cost of war.

Abstract: President Obama has pledged to double U.S. exports over the next five years—an ambitious goal. But the President's strategy of creating Export Promotion Cabinets and subsidizing loans is not the way to make that happen. The federal budget deficit—$1.4 trillion—is the largest obstacle to increasing exports, every year diverting hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign spending to purchases of American debt instead of goods and services. It is also crucial to (finally) conclude the Doha trade negotiations and the pending free trade agreements between the U.S. and Colombia, South Korea, and Panama. Heritage Foundation trade policy expert Bryan Riley provides a road map.
President Barack Obama recently pledged to double U.S. exports over the next five years through a program of subsidies and aggressive diplomatic intervention in favor of selected U.S. firms.[1] There is plenty of room for U.S. export growth, but creating Export Promotion Cabinets that meet "every few months" and subsidizing loans that private banks would not otherwise touch, as promised by the Obama Administration, is not the way to get there. Following are four better options for boosting U.S. exports:
Export Boost #1
Cut Federal Spending. The 2009 federal budget deficit of $1.4 trillion[2] was financed in part by foreign purchases of $468.8 billion in U.S. government debt.[3] Had other countries not used that $468.8 billion to purchase American debt, they could have spent it on U.S. goods or invested in the private sector of the U.S. economy. In other words, one-third of every dollar the government borrowed in 2009 came from abroad, costing Americans as much as 33 cents in lost exports.
According to some estimates, every billion dollars in U.S. exports creates 7,000 domestic jobs.[4] If the jobs-per-billion-dollars-of-exports formula is accurate, this diversion cost Americans as many as 3.2 million export-related jobs last year.
Those 3.2 million jobs could have reduced the 2009 unemployment rate from 9.3 percent to 7.2 percent.[5] This conclusion is contrary to the official position of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) that the Obama Administration's stimulus plan raised employment by 2.5 million to 3.6 million jobs. The Administration's job-creation numbers are based on the mistaken idea that $1 in government spending increases U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by $1.50.[6]
From another perspective, suppose the $468.8 billion in foreign spending had been used to purchase U.S. exports instead of debt. Instead of a trade deficit of $374.9 billion,[7] the United States would have registered a trade surplus of $93.9 billion. Then, perhaps, there would have been less hand-wringing about "unfair" foreign trade practices.
Many researchers have commented on the link between U.S. budget policy and trade deficits. In 2006, former Clinton Administration economic advisor Jeffrey Frankel observed: "The recent trend in the U.S. current [trade] deficit—now over 6 percent of GDP—is not sustainable. But the origins are in macroeconomics, not in trade policy."[8] (Emphasis added.)
A Council on Foreign Relations study reached a similar conclusion: "Since 2000, the value of the net foreign debt accumulated has been unparalleled. The main culprits in this recent surge are the enormous increases in the current [trade] deficit that largely resulted from the return of the government's budget deficit."[9] (Emphasis added.)
According to the Congressional Research Service, "Policy action to reduce the overall trade deficit is problematic. Standard trade policy tools (e.g., tariffs, quotas, and subsidies) do not work. Macroeconomic policy tools can work, but recent and prospective government budget deficits will reduce domestic saving and most likely tend to increase the trade deficit."[10]
Given the strong link between federal budget policies and trade deficits, the best way to boost exports has little to do with the types of export-promotion programs touted by Administration officials. A more effective approach is for the federal government to stop spending—and borrowing—so much money. Americans will know the Obama Administration is serious about export promotion when it stops competing with U.S. exporters for foreign dollars.
Conclude the Doha Round Trade Negotiations by December 2011. With respect to free trade agreements, the Obama Administration should aim to top the successes of President Bill Clinton. The Clinton Administration's biggest accomplishments include working with Members of Congress from both major political parties to secure passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
A good start would be to make completion of the Doha round of trade negotiations a priority. These negotiations were started in Doha, Qatar, in November of 2001. At that time, negotiators issued the following Ministerial Declaration:
The multilateral trading system embodied in the World Trade Organization has contributed significantly to economic growth, development and employment throughout the past fifty years. We are determined, particularly in the light of the global economic slowdown, to maintain the process of reform and liberalization of trade policies, thus ensuring that the system plays its full part in promoting recovery, growth and development. We therefore…pledge to reject the use of protectionism….
International trade can play a major role in the promotion of economic development and the alleviation of poverty. We recognize the need for all our peoples to benefit from the increased opportunities and welfare gains that the multilateral trading system generates.[11]
According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a conclusion to the Doha round that reduces barriers to trade in agriculture, services, and other industries could increase U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) by $94 billion.[12]
Enact Pending Free Trade Agreements with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama. Although the Doha negotiations have yet to be concluded, free trade agreements with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama are wrapped up and waiting for congressional approval. As Heritage Fellow James Roberts observed in 2008, "Rapid passage of these pending agreements would be a win-win strategy: It would send a strong signal of our continuing commitment to global economic expansion and increase business and employment opportunities for Americans for years to come."[13]
President Obama has promised to bring all three agreements to Congress, but only after "outstanding issues" have been resolved.[14] This approach plays into the hands of opponents of increased trade with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama: Virtually every completed negotiation leaves each side wishing it had a better end result in certain areas. It usually is impossible to address those outstanding areas once negotiations have been completed: When one side brings a new issue to the table, the other side will want a concession in return, and the original agreement can soon collapse. It is time to stop stalling and bring these agreements to Congress for a vote.
Reduce U.S. Trade Barriers. The suggestion that lowering U.S. trade barriers would boost exports may seem counterintuitive. Lowering U.S. import taxes might seem most likely to increase the number of imports, not exports.
However, when Americans import a product made in another country, the money they send abroad is then used to buy U.S.-made goods and services or to invest in the American economy. This is why increasing imports also increases exports.
International trade makes people richer because it allows them to specialize in areas where they have a comparative advantage. There is no doubt, for instance, that Americans could manufacture their own shoes, but it may be a better use of their resources to produce bulldozers and wheat while someone else produces shoes. Importing shoes and other goods from abroad does not reduce the number of U.S. jobs. When imports go down, the unemployment rate goes up. In 2009, imports fell by 23 percent while the unemployment rate grew by 60 percent.[15]
In addition to boosting exports, lowering U.S. trade barriers would strengthen the economy. As The Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom shows, countries with the lowest trade barriers also have the world's fastest-growing economies.[16]
Cure for an Ailing Economy
The best prescription for increasing U.S. exports consists of four parts: (1) cutting federal spending; a smaller budget deficit would free up foreign dollars to buy U.S.-made goods and services; (2) taking a page from the Clinton Administration playbook and making global and bilateral free trade agreements a top priority; (3) enacting the already-negotiated free trade agreements with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama; and (4) reducing U.S. trade barriers whenever possible. Taken together, this medicine would cure much of what ails the U.S. economy.

Kowloon Walled City "Grievances"
"All your grand plans and gritted teeth / All your pride / They'll cut you down to count the rings / Measure out your worst years."
The strings rattle. The guitars crackle and blister. The notes ring out, at turns bleak and beautiful— sometimes both at once.
Grievances, the third album from Kowloon Walled City and its first for Neurot Recordings, finds the San Francisco band at its artistic peak, having moved even further away from its sludgy, post-hardcore origins and toward a sparser, sadder, yet still de-tuned heaviness. This shift began with 2012's critically successful Container Ships, which Lambgoat described as "spacious" and "mildly hypnotic," with a "Shellac-like use of dead time and instrumentation," and The Obelisk called "cerebral in approach." On Grievances, the band takes these elements to even greater extremes.
"We dug into this expansive, less distorted vibe. The songs are mostly slow and bummed out but we still want them to push, to have energy," said vocalist and guitarist Scott Evans.
Evans, guitarist Jon Howell, bassist Ian Miller, and drummer Jeff Fagundes spent over two years working on the seven songs for Grievances. The intense editing process weeded out about two albums' worth of songs. "Honestly, it wasn't fun," says Evans, "it was grueling. But I'm not really here to have fun."
Howell's unusual chord changes and discordant aesthetic channel Unwound and Slint. Miller's gritty bass adds a suprising layer of depth and melody, while Fagundes' drums resonate in what sounds like an impossibly large room. Evans' shouted vocals are raw with frustration and disappointment, but without the typical veneer of macho aggression.
"We're not interested in doing something that's good enough — we want to do something that we believe is good," said Miller. "With Scott's concept and sonics and Jon's playing and our rhythm section, we feel like should be able to do something interesting. But it's hard work."
The concept of work forms the thematic foundation of the entire record, from the cover art to the title and the lyrics. Whereas previous Kowloon Walled City releases were largely inspired by the band's hometown of San Francisco, Grievances focuses its attention on our complex relationships with work and the power our employment—and employers—have over us.
As with Kowloon Walled City's previous releases, Evans recorded and mixed, starting in Sharkbite Studios and finishing in his own Antisleep Audio, both in Oakland. "We're not a fancy band. There are no effects to speak of, no reverb, no delays," said Evans. "We each play one guitar, one pedal, one amp. So there's not much to hide behind. I try to respect that in our recording process and our recordings."
Kowloon Walled City formed in 2007 and has released an EP, Turk Street (Wordclock, 2008), and two fulllength albums, Gambling on the Richter Scale (Perpetual Motion Machine, 2009) and Container Ships (Brutal Panda, 2012), as well as two splits. Among the bands it has shared stages with are Neurosis, Tragedy, Sleep, Thou, Coliseum, Zozobra, Fight Amp, Roomrunner, The Body, and Helms Alee.
