Nightingale Trio
The Nightingale Trio is a women's vocal trio inspired by traditional folk songs and vocal techniques from the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Their pure vocal stylings have been featured on NPR's Prairie Home Companion and they have delighted audiences in live performances around the United States.
The Nightingales sound fuller than a trio, yet still maintain the intimate, tight harmonies of a family band. Though dedicated to recreating the rhythmic, complex, and stunning folk songs that have spanned centuries of Slavic artistic culture, the Nightingale Trio also strives to expand the boundaries of the traditional folk by bringing their own unique forms of expression and creativity to the dynamic and ever-evolving art form.

The Deepest Lakes In The World
Lake Baikal in Russia is the deepest lake in the world. Image credit: Katvic/Shutterstock
The deepest lake in the world by both maximum depth and mean depth is Lake Baikal in Russia. It contains 20% of the Earth's freshwater.
Vostok Lake in Antarctica is the fourth deepest lake in the world by maximum depth and third deepest by mean depth. Its water has a high concentration of oxygen and nitrogen that is under constant high pressure and in total darkness at 1,600 feet under the ice surface.
Lake Malawi, the sixth deepest lake by maximum depth, is a meromictic lake, meaning it is composed of different layers of water that do not mix.
Known for its spectacular beauty, the Crater Lake is a lake in a volcanic crater in Oregon, United States. It is the country's deepest lake and the 9th deepest lake in the world by maximum depth.
Lakes are usually formed in rift zones, melting glaciated areas, mountainous regions, or in basins where rivers flow. On a geologic time scale, all lakes are transitory. Over time, lakes may run out of water caused by spillage or may be filled in with sediments. However, active processes may delay a lake from drying up, such as lakes with tectonic origins, meaning they formed in a rift zone where tectonic plates collide. Some factors that cause lakes to form are landslides, sinkholes, ice-damming, volcanic eruptions, and glacier movements. Lakes also vary greatly in size, shape, and depth. The depth of lakes is measured using two parameters: the maximum depth (the distance from the surface to the deepest point in the lake) and mean depth (average depth of the lake).
The 10 deepest lakes in the world (based on maximum depth)
Lake Baikal - 1,642 m
Lake Tanganyika - 1,470 m
Caspian Sea - 1,025 m
Lake Vostok - ~1,000 m
O'Higgins-San Martin Lake - 836 m
Lake Malawi - 706 m
Issyk Kul - 668 m
Great Slave Lake - 614 m
Crater Lake - 594 m
Lake Matano - 590 m
Below are some interesting facts about the world's deepest lakes and a table providing a list of the world's 30 deepest lakes ranked by maximum depth.
1. Lake Baikal - 1,642 m/5,387 ft

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lake Baikal in Russia is the deepest lake in the world. At 25 million years old, it is also the oldest lake in the world. Half of its 60 native fish species and a freshwater seal species are endemic to this lake, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else. Baikal holds 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater, which amounts to around 5,662 cubic miles of crystal clear freshwater—more than what the Great Lakes of North America hold in total volume!
2. Lake Tanganyika - 1,470 m/4,823 ft
Lake Tanganyika, Burundi. Image credit: mbrand85/Shutterstock
Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest lake in the world, on top of being the world's longest lake, spanning four countries: Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, and Zambia. It holds around 18% of the world's freshwater which is equal to close to 4,500 cubic miles of water. Tanganyika holds six large islands and other smaller islands. Its water has a pH of 8.4 that holds some 250 cichlid species, of which 98% are endemic. The cichlids exhibit adaptive and evolutionary radiation as well. Tanganyika has its own freshwater sardine, jellyfish, and sponge species.
3. Caspian Sea - 1,025 m/3,363 ft
Caspian Sea at Baku, Azerbaijan. Image credit: gfarique/Shutterstock
The Caspian Sea is bounded by Russia, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Iran, and Azerbaijan. It holds around 18,800 cubic miles of water with 1.2% salinity although it has no connection to the ocean. It gets 80% of its water from the Volga River. The caviar-producing Beluga sturgeon are found in this lake along with tuna, which has been the core of the fishing industry in the area. It has its own salmon and seal population. The areas around the lake and the lake itself has oil reserves underneath, of which some have been tapped.
4. Lake Vostok - ~1,000 m/~3,300 ft
Antarctica. Image credit: Alexey Suloev/Shutterstock
Vostok Lake in Antarctica is, at 3,300 feet, the fourth deepest lake in the world. It was named after the Russian Vostok Station, which is close to it. It holds around 1,300 cubic miles of freshwater, 1,600 feet under the ice surface. Its water has a high concentration of oxygen and nitrogen that is under constant high pressure in total darkness. Microbial organisms have been detected in ice core drillings, while extremophile microbes found on frozen lake waters also suggest further presence of life. The lake is under protection by environmental groups who contest the ice drilling methods being employed as having a potential for contaminating the lake water underneath the ice.
5. O'Higgins-San Martin Lake - 836 m/2,742 ft
O'Higgins-San Martin Lake, Argentina and Chile. Image credit: Christian Peters/Shutterstock
O'Higgins-San Martin Lake at 2,742 feet is the fifth deepest lake in the world, and its territory in Patagonia is shared by Chile and Argentina. Its name comes from two independence movement liberators from Chile. The lake is known as Lago O'Higgins in Chile and Lago San Martin in Argentina. Its shape forms finger-like extensions that end in flooded valleys in both countries. The Mayer River supplies most of its water while the Pascua River discharges its water into the Pacific Ocean.
6. Lake Malawi - 706 m/2,316 ft
Lake Malawi, Malawi. Image credit: T.Sahl/Shutterstock
Lake Malawi spans the borders of Malawi, Mozambique (where it is known as Lago Niassa), and Tanzania (where it is known as Lake Nyasa). It has around 2,000 cubic miles of freshwater and is a meromictic lake, meaning it is composed of different layers of water that do not mix. Malawi hosts close to 1,000 cichlid fish species that continue to speciate, in addition to non-cichlid species. The Ruhuhu River provides most of its water while the Shire River discharges its water to the Zambezi River.
7. Issyk Kul - 668 m/2,192 ft

Issyk-Kul, the world's seventh deepest lake, is located in the Tian Shan mountain region in Eastern Kyrgyzstan. It is an endorgeic lake that although surrounded by snow-capped peaks, it never freezes. Hence its name Issyk Kul means warm lake in the Kyrgyz language. It hosts great biodiversity and is a designated Ramsar site and part of the Issyk Kul Bisphere Reserve.
8. Great Slave Lake - 614 m/2,015 ft

The Great Slave Lake is North America's deepest lake. It is located in Northwest Territories of Canada. The lake has forests on its western shores while the other shores have tundra-like environment. The shorelines are very irregular and many islands are also located in the lake.
9. Crater Lake - 594 m/1,949 ft

Known for its spectacular beauty, the Crater Lake is a lake in a volcanic crater in Oregon, United States. It is the country's deepest lake. Its deep blue color is a sight to behold. The caldera which it fills was formed by a volcanic eruption of Mount Mazama around 7,700 years ago. The lake has no outlet or inlet. The loss of water through evaporation is compensated for by rainfall or snowfall.
10. Lake Matano - 590 m/1,936 ft
Lake Matano. Image credit: Muailah Sahul/Shutterstock.com
The world's tenth deepest lake by maximum depth, Lake Matano, is located in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is the country's deepest lake as well as the world's deepest lake by maximum depth that is located on an island. The deepest portion of Lake Matano is below sea level.
Ranking Deepest Lakes By Mean Depth
While the above list ranks lakes by maximum depth, scientists consider mean deapth to be a more useful indicator in the context of ecological usefulness. However, accurate measurements of both a lake's surface area and volume are needed to calculate its mean depth. That is not easy as a bathymetric survey is needed to measure a lake's volume reliably. Mean depth is calculated by dividing the volume of the lake by its surface area. Such measurements are often not possible for many remotely located lakes or those located in difficult terrain. Hence, accurate mean depth measurements are available for only well-studied lakes.
The five deepest lakes in the world based on mean depth are:
Lake Baikal - 744.4 m/2442 ft
Lake Tanganyika - 570 m/1,870 ft
Lake Vostok - 430 m/ 1,411 ft
Crater Lake - 350 m/1,148 ft
Lake Tahoe - 301 m/989 ft
Limnology Of Lakes
Lakes have three zones. These include the littoral zone near land, the photic zone in the open-water area where sunlight pervades, and the benthic zone housing deep-water lake habitats. A lake affects the temperature of its surrounding areas such as lowering the air temperature during the day while at night, air temperature may go up. Although lakes provide livelihood and food for the people living around it, some dangers are present when landslides and earthquakes cause the mixing of the benthic water to release carbon dioxide to the surface air. The released carbon dioxide could potentially flow into human inhabited regions and cause mass asphyxiation. This happened at Lake Nyos in Cameroon in 1986, when a landslide created a cloud of CO2, suffocating 1,746 people and over 3,000 livestock.

Angry man goes on rampage at city hall after being fired
Updated: Jul 12, 2019 - 10:30 AM
INDIAN ROCKS BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A city worker who attacked his supervisor when he was fired on Wednesday, then threw a chair at a woman in Indian Rocks Beach City Hall before taking a city-owned truck and driving it toward a group of women standing outside the building, investigators in Florida said.
Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies arrested Errol Gray, 52, shortly thereafter Wednesday morning. He's charged with aggravated assault and battery and resisting arrest.
"During this meeting, it got pretty heated, and he was informed by the supervisor that he was being terminated," said Sheriff's Sgt. Spencer Gross.
Gray is accused of hitting the supervisor with his fists on the head and torso. "The victim actually fell on the ground and he was kicked numerous times," Gross said.
When he left the room, investigators said Gray threw a chair at a woman outside the office before stealing a truck.
"He got partially away down the street and he did a U-turn and came back to the front of city hall where four of these women were standing," said Gross. Tire marks show where Gray barreled toward the building, Gross added.
Gray remained in jail on Friday. A lawyer isn't listed on jail records.

Bombardier Expands the International Reach of its Airborne Parts Delivery Service with a Dedicated Aircraft in Dubai
Low Resolution 96 KBHigh Resolution 1.6 MB
Bombardier Aerospace today upped the ante for the rapid delivery of parts to resolve Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations for its customers in the Middle East and Asia with the announcement of a dedicated PartsExpress aircraft based in Dubai.
The PartsExpress aircraft, a Challenger 601 business jet, is now available round the clock to transport parts, expert technicians and test equipment at a moment's notice from Dubai International Airport to Learjet, Challenger and Global aircraft operators across the Middle East and beyond, reaching into Turkey, Kazakhstan, India and North Africa. The new service builds on the success of Bombardier's PartsExpress airborne parts delivery service, which was launched to operators in the United States in 2007 and in Europe in 2009.
"This move is another building block in Bombardier's drive to establish a fully integrated support system for its customers in the Middle East region and to extend top quality support to our customers wherever they travel," said Andy Nureddin, Vice President, Customer Services and Support, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "Time is an important commodity for our customers, and Bombardier is committed to helping our operators minimize any unscheduled downtime as much as possible."
The addition of a dedicated PartsExpress aircraft takes the concept of airborne product support to a whole new level, with all components of a successful AOG response - aircraft, parts and expertise – centered in the region. The service will draw from a well-stocked inventory housed in Bombardier's existing parts depot in Dubai and the multi-platform expertise of technicians and maintenance specialists from its Authorized Service Facility in the Middle East, operated by ExecuJet Aviation. Alongside its parts depot and ASF at Dubai International Airport, Bombardier also operates a full-scale Regional Sales Office, which opened in December 2010.
In North America and Europe, the PartsExpress service leverages a broad regional network of Bombardier business aircraft operators to deliver parts and mobile response teams to AOG locations, a model that guarantees a variety of aircraft is always available for a quick response. The PartsExpress service has performed over 100 missions to date.

Anyone who's been to an airport recently will notice that the major airlines have installed those self check-in terminals. The idea is that you swipe your credit card so they know who you are and it spits out your boarding pass. Sometimes it doesn't work, so you have to enter another piece of information, like your ticket number. Sometimes that still doesn't work so you enter some other piece of information like the flight number. And if that doesn't uniquely identify you to the system, you're stuck standing in line waiting for a ticket agent to issue you a boarding pass.
So, airlines, if you're going to do this, you need to make sure it's much more robust and that it works for everyone. There's not much point in implementing the check-in terminals if it's going to result in long lines of hundreds of people who end up having to see the one or two ticket agents you only have on duty because you've reduced staffing (because the check-in terminals are supposed to be "more efficient").


6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Don't let that time of the month slow you down—here's how to conquer cramps and other discomfort, and feel stronger than ever.
It's a pretty common scenario: You, on the couch, clutching a pillow, cursing your cramps. In fact, dysmenorrhea (the scientific term for pain associated with menstruation) affects about half of all women who get their period for at least one or two days each month. But discomfort doesn't have to be a regular occurrence. Follow these strategies to keep you feeling strong and healthy all month long.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen block the formation of prostaglandins. Take it 24 to 48 hours before your period is due with food, says Minkin. "It can be a little more difficult to stop the cramps once you miss that window." Just don't overdo it—NSAIDs can increase the risk of ulcers and other complications in high doses.
It can be tempting to empty an entire sleeve of Oreos when you're dealing with your period, but the cleaner you eat, the better you will feel. "Cutting back on carbs, as well as salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine can help reduce cramps and other symptoms by reducing inflammation in the body," notes Holly Lucille, N.D., R.N., a naturopathic doctor and author of Creating and Maintaining Balance: A Woman's Guide to Safe Natural Hormone Health.
Calcium-rich foods, such as dairy, almonds, and dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale, may also help reduce cramps, as well as foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as olive oil, flaxseed, and salmon.
Who wants to push it when all you want to do is curl up in the fetal position? But exercise plays an important part in minimizing your period problems. "Exercise helps decrease levels of estrogen while elevating feel-good hormones like beta-endorphins, so you start to feel better faster," says Lucille. The type of exercise doesn't seem to make a difference, although 20 to 30 minutes of moderate cardio, such as riding a bike or going for an easy run, helps boost levels of endorphins. Restorative yoga and other modalities that emphasize gentle stretching of aching muscles can also help.
Research shows several types of supplements may help reduce menstrual symptoms. Magnesium and calcium, for example, may help reduce pain when taken in moderate doses (about 300mg one to three times a day for magnesium and 1,000mg daily for calcium), as well as vitamins D, E, and B1. Fish oil can help combat inflammation, and other supplements, such as evening primrose oil, have been tapped as effective ways to reduce premenstrual syndrome.
Women who consistently suffer through a painful cycle might want to consider birth control pills to help manage their symptoms, says Minkin. "The pills block ovulation, so your body will naturally make less prostaglandin," she explains. It can also help women with irregular cycles better determine when they might be getting their periods (and can plan accordingly). The latest generation of IUD devices such as Mirena produce a very low level of hormone, which in turn reduces the monthly thickening of the uterine lining, so menstrual flow (and prostaglandins) is reduced or eliminated.
Particularly heavy cycles may be due to a secondary disorder such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Often, pain from these conditions last longer than normal menstrual cramps and get worse as your period continues.


I have been watching Swamp People – these guys are nuts. I would never get that close to a 10 foot gator. I love the show though.
I am looking at getting a HAM radio. In my efforts to network with others – after the "collapse" it would be extremely beneficial to be able to communicate and gather news. I know of others who plan to get HAM radio's would like to be able to set up a communication network now – to be able to be used later.
I am looking at getting a model similar to the YAESU FT-1900R . Still have a lot to learn.
Shot my Smith & Wesson 22A .22LR pistol this past weekend. It was great. Reliable and highly accurate. I need to source some extra magazines and a holster.
One of my priorities right now is stocking up on ammunition. One way of doing this is every trip I make to Wal-Mart I buy a box of CCI Mini-Mag .22LR. They have the best prices around at under $7.00 a box. Good stuff and my shelf is filling up. I also want to do a lot more shooting – which I typically do when I visit my brother in Georgia.
My solar panel kit has been mounted on my roof. I need to pick up some extra wiring to complete the job. I purchased the kit from Harbor Freight. More on that later.
I have been spending some time in a couple of forums lately – SurvivalistBoards.com and BePreparedForum.com. These can be great places to read what others have to say, ask questions as well as provide answers sometimes. I often pick up ideas and bits of information that are pretty valuable.
Great resource recently suggested by a loyal reader –http://www.grandpappy.info/hshelff.htm – has some good info on food shelf life.
The recent attack on 4 teens by a grizzly bear in Alaska just confirms something for me – be armed in the woods. You just never know what is out there – whether it be four legged or two.
I don't often talk about politics – but this whole debt limit thing is just ridiculous. My buddy Badvoodoodaddy over at The Retreat wrote on this very subject – check it out HERE.
Got a chance to do some fishing this past weekend while in Georgia. Was very cool! Many catfish caught.

Comment on 22 LR ammo: I've been small game hunting in Montana since we moved here in 1995 and have tried just about every type and brand of 22 LR ammo I can get here on our smallish tree squirrels and out "goffers" (Richardson Ground Squirrels) including the prefragmented "Quik-Shot" brand (someone bought them out) The best results I've had is with Winchester/Western Power Points. It's a 40 gr HP and as long as I do my part the critter just drops dead. EVERY other brand including CCI (Stinger's and Mini-Mags) and the fancy Quik-Shots still had critters flopping or crawling away and tree squirrels just hanging onto the tree trunk. I still buy the other brands to break guns in and target shoot, but for hunting I only use the W/W's now.
That is great info – thanks s much!
In reference to your article about ham radios. I can recommend the following web sites. I came across these sources sometime back and saved them as a possible future source.
Note they have VHF, UHF (around $50.00 each) and duel band portable radios for less than $100.00. Moblie radios may be available but I was not looking for them.
If you order direct from China it would save alot of money BUT the radios might not be allowed into the US. Some units might get stopped at the border but some make it thru ok.
just to see if it would get thru ok.
I'm glad to see you are possibly going to get yourself a Yaesu FT-1900. Spend a few bucks more and get the FT-7900R. It covers both VHF & UHF (and only for a few bucks more). I purchased one from Ham Radio Outlet two years ago and it works fantastic. Remember to get a good antenna system with the radio (that makes a real big difference). HRO will help you any decision making or you can contact me! Both the FT-1900 & the FT-7900R will give you good access to the VHF bands and NOAA freqs. A good move is also get the programming software for the radio (HRO will advise on this).
The Technician test is easy if you get the study book. The study ? pool can be found onthe ARRL website or elsewhere onthe net. W5YI.co or .org is a good place for info and study materials!
Beware!!! Ham radio becomes addictive! I use mine everydaay when traveling and at home. It's good to be able to contact someone almost all the time!
Let me know in which area you reside and I'll send you a list of frequencies for your area. I use the ARRL Repeater Book and the ARRL Travell Plus 14 software to list out where i'm traveling.
I have you as a contact in my email – I call you "The HAM Guy".
Might wanna "mosey" on over to cbradiomagazine.com . They have good reviews on 10 meter band radios. Magnum has just come out with a dual-band handheld that can use your rig's antenna!
Thanks for the tip – I just bookmarked that sight.
In a grid-down situation, VHF and UHF will be of local, but limited, usefulness. Save your money for a radio that does everything. I'm still using a ten-year-old Yaesu FT 100. HF through UHF (160 meters through 70 centimeters). Good antennas and an antenna tuner are really necessary. Get licensed. Nobody will talk to you if you're not. Go to a meeting of your nearest Amateur Radio Club. Ask questions.
I've been a ham for over 20 years got licensed when I was around 10 years old….
I've never eaten catfish but the grocery store had free recipe cards so I grabbed some and a package of frozen catfish (I don't think we can get fresh in Oregon). I'm not a huge fan of fish but will try anything (other than salmon, which is woefully over-rated in my opinion). Hopefully my best friend/roommate who spent much of her childhood in the South doesn't turn her nose up at my first attempt to cook catfish!
This thread will explain alot and help you get started.
Also this 2 meter antenna is excellent, cheap and very portable. I can hit repeaters over 45 miles away with it. I have mine up in a tree.
Also, buying used equipment is the way to go. Just be sure not to pay too much. Ebay can be good as well. I have this and it's an excellent ,basic and rugged radio.
Sorry, This should have been with the above post.

Police have seized 118 million yuan (17 million U.S. dollars) in fake bank notes since the start of a campaign to fight counterfeiting, China's national English language newspaper China Daily reported Wednesday.
Liu Jinguo, vice-minister of public security, was quoted in the report that police had handled 130 cases and arrested 312 people since the launch of the operation on Jan 20.
He said the ministry had focused its efforts on Guangdong, Henan, Anhui, Guangxi and Fujian, but also sent teams to Shenzhen and Zhuhai to work with officials from Hong Kong and Macao.
Since the end of last year, fake bank notes starting with the serial number HD90 have turned up in 10 provinces and regions. Other fake notes, with serial numbers beginning with TJ38 were also found recently in Haikou, Hainan province, China Daily said.
Liu also told Xinhua in January when the operation began, that citizens would be encouraged to provide information on locations of fake money production. Informants could be rewarded as much as 300,000 yuan.
The campaign, called "Action 09", aims to crack down on crimes of producing, selling and spending fake notes and is to last for 10 months.

Bringing back Ighalo to Super Eagles could make Osimhen, Iheanacho, Onuachu depressed – John Fashanu advises Gernot Rohr
TSB News
Former England international, John Fashanu has advised Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr to shun bringing back retired Odion Ighalo into the national team.
According to John Fashanu, the return of the former Manchester United striker to the Super Eagles team could make younger strikers like Kelechi Iheanacho, Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen 'depressed'.
Ighalo retired after helping the Super Eagles finish third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he emerged as the tournament's top scorer.
Since his retirement, Nigeria has relied on Napoli's Victor Osimhen, Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho and most recently Genk's Paul Onuachu, a decision that has helped the West African side book their place at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Rohr revealed recently he was considering bringing back Ighalo who now plays for Saudi Professional League club Al Shabab.
"The answer is simple. The answer is when you look at the age of all the players that you speak about, they are all young, and also we need experience," Rohr told Elegbete TV.
"And if, for example, Odion Ighalo will play with us – I don't know if it's possible for the moment, but perhaps if he's coming back, I think players like Osimhen and even Kelechi Iheanacho could have a big help in the presence of Ighalo to learn, to progress, to see his professionalism.
"He's a great professional, a big example for everybody, and he's also a great goalscorer. We are very young, especially in the attack, and it could be good to have some more experience with us."
However, Fashanu in a new interview says Rohr should stick to the status quo.
"Experience in football counts but we don't want to do anything to upset the young boys or make them a little bit depressed," Fashanu told the Punch.
"The only thing Ighalo has to offer to the national team is his experience, it is not his ability because there are players who are far better than him and we know that.
"If Rohr wants to bring him in because he stabilizes the squad, it is fine. I remember when I was in my 30s and the manager kept bringing me back, it wasn't because I was a great player but I gave the team confidence. And that might also be the reason why Rohr wants to bring him back but other than that his time is gone.
"Ighalo is in his 30s and in Nigeria we have fantastic prospects that are fighting to get that spot but not all of them can make the squad.
"If you keep playing the older players it is at the detriment of the younger players. It is high time we start seeing 17, 18-year-old geniuses in the national team.
"Where there is no talent the coach may consider bringing him back but there are so many talents and it would be very wrong to bring him back at this stage."

We need to talk about Equity……even if only here in the general sense.
All well and good, but what does that mean when talking about the law of Equity. At first glance the branch of law that is Equity can seem intimidating – it has its origins in history which makes it appear out-dated and no longer relevant; it comes full of abstract and technical terminology, apparently making it difficult to access. Everyone knows what it means to steal something, committing a crime; everyone has an idea what contracts arise. However, while we might recognise words such as fairness or impartiality, it is often problematic to put these concepts into legal practice.
Equity arose out of historical accident, progressing from the petitioning of the 13th century Lord Chancellor for remedy on the grounds of conscience and fairness outside the strict rules of the Common Law, to the development of the distinct court of Chancery (heavily criticised in Dickens' Bleak House) and finally to the combination of the common law and equitable jurisdictions into one Supreme Court. What this means in practice for the litigant is that all judges are able to administer the Common Law or Equity regardless of the forum in which the claim has been brought. That being said, certain matters are assigned to the Chancery Division (for example claims relating to land, mortgages, administration of estates, probate business, certain intellectual property rights, bankruptcy, partnerships).
So, Equity stands alongside the Common Law, but it remains a body of law in its own right. The "trust" is perhaps the most easily recognisable and important development of Equity. It is, perhaps, also the ultimate and blatant example of what is meant by Equity interfering with the strictness of Common Law. The trust acknowledges that property rights can extend beyond legal title and that ownership can be separated between the legal management and control of the asset and the equitable right to benefit and use that asset. However, beyond the recognisable consideration of the use of trusts in the context of private tax planning, family property and wealth, Equity and the trust can (and does) provide legal solutions not only in the context of family disputes, but also in the commercial arenas of conveyancing, investments, fiduciary relationships, market transactions, insolvency and charities to mention a few.
Additionally, in contrast to the strict rigours of the Common Law, and in mitigation against the apparent harshness of the Common Law, Equity has an on-going ability to develop and change. It is this flexibility that enables Equity to respond more readily to social needs. Given the breadth of its scope and the potential assistance it might offer the litigator in person, it is something which does need to be understood if it is to be used to its fullest potential.
So, just as with Common Law, equitable rights are exercised and remedies given only by applying well-known principles. Some aspects of the jurisdiction are strict and technical. However, unlike Common Law, other areas allow for an exercise of considerable discretion by the courts. Equity is, therefore, a body of rules which is constantly being developed, moving into new fields of application, but only where the established principles allow.
This may sound like a contradiction – the court being able to exercise its discretion but in accordance with clear, and perhaps, rigid principles. And that is perhaps the challenge of Equity, understanding the relationship between the two.
These maxims offer guidance, signposts if you will, as to how Equity might be applied and are starting points for how the court might exercise its discretion.
For the potential litigant, another good way to understand Equity is to consider what remedy Equity could provide as this is perhaps where the court has been (and can be in the future) its most inventive. Remedies at Common Law arise as of right, but are generally couched in terms of damages, monetary compensation. Equity, however, supplements this to provide its own remedies, albeit on a discretionary basis, when mere compensation is inadequate in the circumstances.
For instance, specific performance – while at law everyone is free to breach a contractual obligation and become liable for damages if they wish, Equity might compel the performance of that contractual obligation if those damages are inadequate compensation. Similarly, through the injunction, Equity can order someone to stop doing or compel them to do something, where the awarding of damages to protect an existing right at law would again be an insufficient remedy. It is Equity which now enables litigants to obtain search orders so as to secure evidence from destruction and/or disposal and freezing orders so as to prevent disposal of assets to circumvent enforcement of a legal judgement. As a protection against contracts or transactions brought about by mistake (as to facts or law) or tainted by undue influence (whether by improper pressure or the taking of unfair advantage) it is Equity which provides for rescission, where the transaction is made unenforceable at law or for rectification, where documents can be amended to carry out the actual intention of the party or parties. A fiduciary's duty to account generally or for unauthorised profit is another remedy arising in Equity. It is Equity which provides more flexible mechanisms for recovering property derived from misappropriated assets – tracing. And beyond its use as a means of family provision and wealth protection, it is Equity's creation, the trust, with its separation of ownership, which has provided the court with a device, the constructive trust, to provide protection to co-habitees in the acquisition of shared property. Trust and equitable principles have also been applied to aid the safeguarding of customers' and lenders' funds in the face of insolvency.
As has been said previously, equitable rights are exercised and remedies given only by applying well-known principles- litigants seeking these rights or remedies must satisfy the established principles. So when a remedy is sought, litigants will need to consider whether their claim can at a basic level satisfy those fundamental requirements – for instance, the co-habitee seeking to acquire a share in the family home, must evidence both a common intention between parties in relation to that share as well as detrimental reliance on that intention. And what is sufficient evidence for Equity is also laid down in those established principles. Similarly a claimant seeking to use equitable tracing to reclaim misappropriated assets must evidence a breach of fiduciary obligations to obtain a remedy.
There may be a remedy available to a litigant in Equity. However, whether Equity will offer a litigant that remedy will depend on whether that litigant can establish that there has been an unconscionable abuse of common law rights and powers. Additionally, they will also have to evidence that their claim satisfies the basis requirements of Equity in light of the remedy sought. It will not be enough merely to argue in Equity for fairness; the litigant will need to identify and understand the components needed to underpin their claim. And, even if the litigant is certain they have met all the requisite criteria, remedies from Equity are at the discretion of the court; there are no guarantees.
That is why we cannot ignore Equity and we need to talk about it and understand it. This may be just the beginning.


Halkida Dog Shelter What Can I Do?
There are always a thousand things to do around the shelter like walking dogs, repairs or cleaning.
We realize that every country has its shelters with pets left and/or abused by their former owners and these animals have just as much a right and most of all a need for a new and loving home. But if you want to help a Halkida's dog obtain a better life by adopting one, please do so!
For our daily work we need a lot of material. Most of it is not too difficult to get, however, there are some things that are not available - or they are so expensive here that they are unaffordable.
So, if you would like to help us out, here is a list of always needed things that would make us and the dogs really happy!
So, if you can help us out with any of these, kindly contact us!
We can get the dogs vaccinated and do a passport form for them. On certain flights dogs under 5 kilos can go as hand luggage. For larger dogs you will have to get a hold of a sky kennel. Contact your rep and/or the airline they are flying with and tell them that they are bringing a dog; on most charter flights it is not expensive to bring the dog.
establish that it has the necessary antibodies against rabies in it's system. The blood test must be sent to a recognised laboratory and when the certificate of sufficient antibodies has been issued the dog is allowed to travel into the UK six months later. As this new UK Pet Travel Scheme is fairly new still there are still lots of difficulties with it. Sometimes it works out even more expensive than 6 months quarantine in the UK. There are many hidden expenses. British airlines are reluctant to carry unaccompanied animals and charge a lot of money for the handling as well as the tickets.
Also, please don't forget that the dogs are still doing quarantine, but in our shelter here in Greece. With all the problems that we have with overcrowding and the fact that we are not at the shelter 24 hours a day there is an element of risk. We have successfully sent quite a lot of dogs through the UK Pet Travel Scheme using Quarantine Kennels in Chingford, Essex and the dogs doing a 'limited' quarantine there.

Student Jailed On Sex Assault Charge Freed After Judge Deems Him 'High Achieving'
University of Florida senior Ian Milaski, accused of battery and false imprisonment, was released on his own recognisance to await trial.
By Alanna Vagianos
A University of Florida senior jailed on a charge of sexually assaulting a fellow student was released last week after a judge deemed him a "high-achieving student."
Ian Milaski, a 21-year-old resident hall assistant, was arrested on Aug. 29, after a female student called university police and accused Milaski of forcibly kissing her, pinning her onto his bed and attempting to put his fingers inside her days earlier. Milaski was jailed on charges of battery and false imprisonment, with bond set at $182,000 ($125,000 USD.)
A judge later ordered him released on his own recognizance, agreeing with an emergency defense motion that described Milaski as a "high-achieving student," according to local outlet WCJB. The bail-reduction motion said Milaski is "slated to graduate in May 2020″ with a double major, and "personally performed more than 210 hours of community service in the last two years."
Alachua County Sheriff

Milaski's motion also argued that he needed to help his parents prepare for Hurricane Dorian and tend to his double major as a senior about to graduate, according to The Alligator, the University of Florida (UF) student newspaper.
The woman, identified only as a UF sophomore, told officers that Milaski called her drunkenly and said he needed water on the night of Aug. 25, according to a police report. She said she walked Milaski back to his room, but he kept trying to kiss her despite her protests. After she continued to refuse his advances, he reportedly grabbed her by the wrists and said, "I want to sleep with you."
When the woman tried to leave Milaski's room, he grabbed her, picked her off the floor and pinned her on his bed, where he attempted to "finger her" through her underwear, according to the police report, obtained by NBC-2.
The young woman told police she eventually escaped and returned to her dorm room. Later that night, she awoke in her bed and found Milaski trying to lie next to her. A friend of the woman who had been sleeping in the dorm room woke up from the commotion and yelled at Milaski to leave, according to the report.
Milaski's bail motion explained the incident as a "misunderstanding among platonic friends fuelled by alcohol," the Alligator reported.
The judge, whose name isn't mentioned in local news reports about the case, ordered Milaski to have no contact with the victim and banned him from returning to Sarasota and Alachua counties, where the university is located, except for court appointments or events related to school, including classes.
Milaski also was ordered to wear a GPS monitor. No date has been set for his next court appearance.

Studying a foreign language, there are many times when you get stuck and just don't know what to say. Sure, you can just mutter a "ちょっと待って" (wait) and clam up for a few seconds to think, but that would set you apart from what a native would do in similar circumstances.
It's best to give some verbal indication you are thinking, and then if still don't know what to say at least say *something*, even it's not the exact phrase you were searching for.
First let's go over a few words that are used when you are thinking, and roughly correspond to the English words "um…", "er…", and "well….".
Next I'll go over a few phrases that are used when saying "what should I say…" to yourself.
You can use the first expression above to mean "rather", or when you change your mind about something mid sentence.
Japanese is a difficult, or should I say very complex language.
The expression "そうだね" or "そうですね" can be used as a conversation filler while you are thinking.
Where do you want to go in Europe?
I'm not how to say it properly but….
You can add "日本語で" to the beginning of this expression to emphasize you can't say it properly "in Japanese".
Here are two expressions that are quite extreme, but you can still use them for dramatic effect once in a while.
I can't put it into words.
I can't express it in words.
Finally, here is an expression that you can use when the words you are searching for just won't come to mind.
The words won't come to me. (lit. "The words won't come out well").
Glad you found a useful phrase. Let me know if you have any questions anytime or have ideas for future posts.

Floyd Mayweather & George Clooney Top List Of World's Highest Paid Entertainers
On Monday, Forbe's named American boxer Floyd Mayweather the world's highest-paid entertainer on a list that placed actor George Clooney at number two with the highest annual income of his career. In the third annual Forbes Celebrity 100 list, 20 year-old reality star Kylie Jenner came in third thanks to her reportedly booming cosmetics line, putting her on track to become the youngest self-made billionaire in the US.
Messi Is The World's Highest Paid Athlete
Becoming only the second footballer to top the list, the 31-year-old Argentine edged out rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who sits second having earned $109 million last year. Despite heading the Forbes list, Messi has endured a mixed season at the Catalan club. Business magazine Forbes released its list of the top 100 highest paid athletes on Tuesday, which combines prize money, salaries and endorsements between June 2018 and June 2019.

Conor McGregor is About to Be Beaten by Floyd Mayweather Again
Conor McGregor's dream of topping Forbes' list of highest-paid athletes is probably going to be foiled by a familiar foe... The Irish MMA star said last month that he wanted to beat Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo to the top of the Forbes list. McGregor's reported $30 million payday for going 10 rounds with Floyd Mayweather on Saturday will go some way to achieving this. But to match Mayweather's reported $300 million from the fight, the Irishman still has a long way to go.
Conor McGregor Is One Of The Highest Paid Celebs In The World
Conor McGregor is one of the highest-paid celebrities in the world, according to Forbes. McGregor is a UFC Fighter. He only fought once in the last 12 months. Business Insider says he struck it rich outside the cage with his Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand and plenty of endorsement deals. Forbes estimates McGregor to have earned $35 million from fighting, and $12 million from sponsorship agreements.

Well, it has been a while since there was a significant laptop recall, but you knew it would happen again.
Sony has issued a voluntary recall of 438,000 Vaio laptop computer due to the possibility of overheating that could potentially burn the user.
The laptops can possibly short circuit and overheat due to what the CPSC states is an "irregularly positioned wires near the computer's hinge and/or dislodged screw inside the hinge".
Shares of Sony are down about 30 percent this year, so this information probably will not help. If you have one of these laptops, contact Sony toll-free at (888) 526-6219 anytime, or visit Sony's Web site.

Here's a quick thought experiment: Imagine trying to devise a solution to a puzzle that's never been solved, but you've been given creative liberty to use methods and tools that don't yet exist. Working in the hypothetical can be liberating but also challenging, and for Mazda engineers, it's something they actually put into practice for developing a remarkable new technology called Skyactiv-X.
Skyactiv-X is a new prototype engine in Mazda's Skyactiv family, joining the automaker's current Skyactiv-G (gasoline) and Skyactiv-D (diesel) engine ranks. At its crux, it's a clever solution to an engine puzzle many have tried to piece together but no one fully solved. You can think of Skyactiv-X as the cross between a gasoline and diesel engine — hence the "X" denotation. Like offspring winning the genetic lottery, it takes the best traits from both: torque and efficiency from the diesel parent; cleaner emissions and top-end legs from the gasoline side of the family.
Mazda has announced that Skyactiv-X will see production in 2019, but it's not ready to specify in which vehicle. The first Skyactiv-X engine will be a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, which will run on good ol' regular octane gasoline. Power figures aren't final, but as of last contact they hover in the ballpark of 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. This is a pretty healthy bump from the current Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter's 155 hp and 150 lb-ft, but the kicker is the Skyactiv-X is estimated to be 20 percent more fuel-efficient overall and as much as 30 percent better in certain low-speed conditions.
So what does that look like in numbers that consumers can relate to? Take, for example, the current Mazda 3 that returns a respectable combined 31 mpg from its 2.0-liter engine. An otherwise identical Mazda 3 equipped with the new Skyactiv-X engine, and its significant power advantage, would be expected to return a little over 37 mpg.
If you're thinking you could achieve the same effect by going to a smaller turbocharged engine, you'd only be partially correct. Often times, to realize the economical advantage of a downsized turbocharged engine, you have to refrain from dipping too deep into the delicious boost because its efficiency drops sharply during such vigorous operation. With Skyactiv-X, you don't have to be so careful. Its efficient operating range is far broader because the way it makes power with the fuel it uses — its fundamental combustion process — is different.
Warning: The following section gets a little technical, so if you're someone who doesn't care how the sausage is made, feel free to skip down. We mentioned that developing Skyactiv-X involved a little of the hypothetical, and we weren't joking. Mazda says it has had the concept for a couple years now, but it had to wait for processing power technology to further develop to handle the amount of data it's pushing through the engine's brain.
For Skyactiv-X to achieve the power, efficiency and clean emission gains it has, Mazda needed to crack a nut called homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI). HCCI occurs when a homogeneous or uniform mixture of fuel and air is compressed so much that it heats to the point of spontaneous ignition rather than by the command of a spark plug. Unlike a spark-ignition engine in which the flame propagates outward from the spark plug, the mixture in the cylinder of an HCCI engine combusts essentially simultaneously everywhere in the chamber.
As in a spark-ignition engine, the uniform mixing of fuel and air in an HCCI engine helps ensure a clean, even burn, while HCCI's higher compression ratio and lean operation boost efficiency, much like with a diesel engine. This sounds simple enough, but managing the timing of when HCCI occurs is not only critical but quite difficult due to variables such as air temperature, engine load, rpm, etc. If HCCI combustion occurs too late, engine power is reduced. If it occurs too early, the resulting spike in combustion pressure is like playing whack-a-mole with your engine pistons, but not in a fun way.
To deal with the timing control issue, Mazda came up with something it calls spark-controlled compression ignition (SPCCI). In Skyactiv-X, there's a small zone of air-fuel mixture that can be ignited readily by a spark plug, and the rest of the cylinder's contents is too lean to ignite without some help. The help comes in the form of a tiny fireball initiated by the spark plug that increases the cylinder pressure, causing the rest of the lean air-fuel mixture to spontaneously ignite under compression. Among engine nerds, this strategy is generically referred to as spark-assisted compression ignition. But since Mazda put it in production first, it gets to call it whatever it wants.
A useful analogy comparing these two processes is lighting a charcoal fire using very little lighter fluid (your lean fuel mixture). Trying to light it with just spark ignition, in this case, is like trying to light your mound of charcoal from one corner. One brick lights the adjacent one and so on. SPCCI is like lighting a heat source that in turn heats everything and burns the bricks all at once — and now we're barbecueing.
To keep enough air moving into the engine for an appropriately lean air-fuel ratio — in some cases twice the amount of air to fuel (30:1) compared to typical spark-ignition combustion — Skyactiv-X employs the help of an engine-driven Roots-type blower. Mazda hesitates to call it a "supercharger" (even though that's what it is) because of that word's typical association with the strategy of adding more fuel to go with the additional air. There is a clutch that engages and disengages the blower, so it's less of a parasitic drag on the engine when not in use.
The modern brain of Skyactiv-X monitors and analyzes the conditions of combustion in each cylinder of every cycle. It's so capable that it can make individual adjustments to spark and valve timing, plus the number and volume of the fuel injections. This allows it to avoid unwanted mistimed combustion as well as switch seamlessly between SPCCI and conventional spark-ignition modes.
What's It Like to Drive Skyactiv-X?
We had the chance to drive a prototype version of the Skyactiv-X engine in Mazda's next-generation small vehicle platform, disguised as a current-generation Mazda 3 hatchback. A digital tablet mounted on the dash just to the right of the steering wheel flashed three different green circles, each indicating in real time what was happening within the engine's cylinder walls: conventional spark ignition, SPCCI, or an ultra-efficient super lean-burn version of SPCCI.
We got in the manual-transmission car first, which provided the clearest picture of how the engine builds power. There was a healthy amount of torque off the line, making it feel characteristically diesel-ish. Unlike a diesel in which you have to upshift almost immediately as it quickly runs out of revs, this engine felt willing and happy to rev out to a satisfying 6,000 rpm. As a bonus of the engine's broad efficiency envelope, Mazda says it can use lower gear ratios for better low-end drive without suffering an efficiency penalty. The engine for the most part ran in SPCCI mode unless we buried the accelerator into the firewall. And if not for the green circles, there was no way we would have been privy to switchover.
The lightest green circle, the one for super lean burn, was elusive for some reason when driving the manual-transmission car. In the automatic-equipped prototype, it proved far easier to access, and it only occured during low-speed driving on flat roads. With the exception of easier super lean-burn driving, the automatic didn't feel as smooth or responsive a match with the engine.
The tuning on this Skyactiv-X engine is still being tinkered with; there are still some occasional instances of knock (preignition whack-a-mole). I could induce the knock by being a gear too high (high load) or by purposely making abrupt changes in throttle position, which is how some folks unwittingly drive on a regular basis. If you weren't looking for it, though, you might mistake the micro-knock for ambient noise or miss it altogether. Mazda says it'll have all the kinks worked out before Skyactiv-X hits production, and based on the engine's refinement at this relatively early point, we have no reason to believe otherwise.
Why Focus on Gasoline Instead of Electrification?
You might be wondering why Mazda has decided to focus on improving its gasoline engines rather than building hybrids, plug-ins, fuel cells, or battery electrics like the rest of the industry. And the reason it gives makes a lot of sense after looking at the bigger picture. Though the popularity of hybrids and EVs has expanded in recent years, their impact on fuel savings relies on proliferation.
Technology like Skyactiv-X can be more readily applied across Mazda's entire lineup of vehicles, resulting in greater net fuel savings for the near future. Plus, as Mazda eventually moves to hybridization of these models, Skyactiv-X's fuel-saving measures will be realized there as well.
When you're smart about it, you can zoom-zoom your way to a cleaner, better future.

Muhammad III ibn al-Husayn, conocido como Muhammad III al-Sadick y también por los franceses como Sadok Bey, (árabeأبو عبد الله محمد الصادق باشا باي), Túnez 7 de febrero de 1813 - 29 de octubre de 1882) fue bey de Túnez de la dinastía husaynita de Túnez de 1859 a 1882.

Biografía
Fue declarado príncipe heredero por su hermano Muhammad II ibn al-Husayn el 10 de junio de 1855, sólo al cabo de un mes de subir al trono. El mismo día recibió el nombramiento de general de división otomano. Le sucedió cuando murió el 20 de septiembre de 1859. Su hermano Abu Muhammad Hammudi Bey (1816-13 de agosto de 1863) fue declarado heredero (bey al-Mahalla) el 22 de septiembre de 1859 (confirmado por decreto imperial de 26 de abril de 1861). El 10 de diciembre de 1859 Muhammad III fue elevado a mariscal del ejército otomano. En este año el servicio de telégrafos fue concedido a una compañía francesa.

Muhammad III visitó Argel en 1860 y su hermano Abu Muhammad Hammudi Bey ocupó la regencia. Abierto partidario de las reformas como su hermano, que en 1860 reformó la administración siguiendo el modelo europeo y el 23 de abril de 1861 promulgó la primera constitución o dustur que establecía la monarquía hereditaria bajo el bey, asistido por un consejo legislativo de 60 miembros, y se establecían tribunales regulares separando los poderes ejecutivo, judicial y legislativo y limitando el poder del bey y se creó un consejo supremo junto a una asamblea y una corte suprema, los europeos y los judíos fueron declarados iguales ante la ley a los musulmanes incluyendo el derecho de comprar propiedades (lo que atrajo a muchos europeos al país donde se abrieron comercios y escuelas religiosas no musulmanas); los europeos se establecieron principalmente en la zona de Bab al-Bahr. El 26 de abril modificó el orden de sucesión, que en adelante sería el más viejo de los príncipes husaynitas en lugar del mayor de los hijos del bey.

El 12 de enero de 1862 se abrió un nuevo consulado francés; se restauró el acueducto romano de Zaghouan que garantizó agua en la capital y se demolieron las murallas de la Medina de Túnez (algunos trozos ya estaban en ruinas) desapareciendo las puertas de Bab Carthagena, Bab Souika, Bab Bnet y Bab El Jazira. Los cañones de Túnez y la Goulette fueron vendidos más tarde (1872).

La economía del país estaba cercana a la bancarrota por las malversaciones o mala administración del gran visir Mustafá Khaznadar, y en 1863 tuvo que contratar un préstamo al banquero Erlanger a un tipo de interés altísimo, que no tenía medios de devolver y tuvo que doblar los impuestos, lo que provocó en 1864 el levantamiento de las tribus del centro del país seguida de la revuelta de las villas del Sahel tunecino, bajo la dirección de Ali ibn Ghadaham y al grito de «Basta de Constitución, basta de tasas, basta de mamelucos», las fuerzas leales dirigidas por el general Ahmed Zarruk , pudieron ahogar la revuelta sembrando la discordia entre los diferentes grupos rebeldes que no estaban unidos. La represión fue implacable pero la constitución de 1861 fue suspendida y las tasas bajadas a la mitad. No obstante los mamelucos y Khaznadar, que habían salvado el régimen, permanecieron en el poder.

El 13 de agosto de 1863 murió en la Marsa su hermano Abu Muhammad Hammudi Bey y el 23 de agosto fue declarado heredero el siguiente hermano Ali ibn al-Husayn (futuro Ali III ibn al-Husayn).

En 1865 el bey, a petición de Khaznadar, contrató un nuevo préstamo a un tipo de interés idéntico al anterior; siguió una gran sequía que arruinó a los pequeños campesinos y en 1867 la miseria se extendía por todo el país, incluyendo la capital, donde morían de 100 a 150 personas al día a causa del hambre o enfermedades; en 1868 Khaznadar desvió fondos municipales en beneficio propio y el presupuesto de Túnez quedó reducido significativamente, en 1869 el estado quebró y tuvo que autorizar la creación de una comisión financiera internacional formada por representantes de Francia, Gran Bretaña e Italia y de la misma Túnez; esta comisión desenmascaró la actuación de Mustafá Khaznadar y su enriquecimiento fraudulento. El general Khayr al-Din Pachá, presidente de la comisión financiera denunció a Khaznadar como defraudador de unos dos millones de francos, las pruebas eran irrefutables y Khaznadar dimitió y Khayr al-Din Pachá le sustituyó el 22 de octubre de 1873. La población acogió su caída con alivio y con ceremonias dando gracias a las mezquitas.

Khayr al-Din Pasha era partidario de un acercamiento al Imperio otomano, pero encontró la oposición de Francia e Italia. El gran visir reformó las aduanas, los Habus, la mezquita Zituna, y la justicia; creó una biblioteca y fundó el Colegio Sadiki que estableció nuevos métodos de enseñanza. Su gobierno estuvo formado en general por personas honestas y competentes como los generales Husayn y Rustum. En 1877 los otomanos pidieron al bey el envío de ayuda en la guerra contra Rusia. El gran visir apoyó la petición, pero el bey, se opuso. Finalmente un consejo extraordinario con los ulemas y notables, optó por aportar la ayuda en forma de especies recogidos por suscripción pública, y así fueron enviados algunos millones de francos y caballos, mulas y otro material. Pero las aportaciones hicieron caer la recaudación del estado y la situación se complicó con una fuerte sequía, el gran visir disminuyó los gastos del estado incluyendo las de la casa civil de la monarquía, lo que ofendió al bey que le pidió la dimisión el 21 de julio de 1877, y lo sustituyó por Muhammad Khaznadar.

Francia presentaba las mayores ambiciones para dominar el país y una vez firmado el tratado de Berlín en 1878, no dudó en intervenir, pese a los esfuerzos italianos para retrasar el proceso. Mustafá ben Ismail fue nombrado gran visir el 24 de agosto de 1878 y trató de contemporizar con los franceses pero estos, con la excusa de una incursión de tribus tunecinos los krumirs en Argelia, decidieron el 4 de abril de 1881 una expedición de castigo contra Túnez. Muhammad al-Sadik ofreció todo tipo de disculpas y satisfacciones; el Imperio otomano, que conservaba la alta soberanía, protestó. Pero los franceses no escucharon nada y el 12 de mayo de 1881 las tropas llegaban al Bardo. El bey tuvo que firmar el tratado del Bardo o de Kassar Said, por el que transfería a Francia los asuntos exteriores y aceptaba la presencia en Túnez de un ministro residente francés. El 12 de septiembre de 1881 Muhammad Khaznadar volvía a ser gran visir.

El 22 de octubre de 1882 Muhammad fallecía y fue sucedido por su hermano Ali Muddat ibn al-Husayn.

AESGP Position on the implications of the UK exit from the European Union
Brexit EMA Medical Devices OTC Position statement Self-care
21 March 2019 | jurate
The Association of the European Self-Care Industry (AESGP) represents the manufacturers of non- prescription medicines, food supplements and substance based medical devices. These products are often the first choice for citizens in case of a health issue. Their availability is crucial for the functioning of the European healthcare systems.
Since the day if the referendum priority of our Industry is to ensure that there is minimal disruption to the supply of self-care products in both the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK), as the UK exits from the EU. We continue to adapt to new regulatory requirements, manufacturing and supply issues including customs arrangements to ensure an uninterrupted supply of self-care products to citizens.
We congratulate efforts that went into the negotiations from both sides and very much welcome the publication of the withdrawal agreement and political declaration. In particular, the self-care Industry supports the 'free trade area combining deep regulatory and customs cooperation' referred to in the political declaration. However, it has not alleviated the concerns of the Industry entirely. As the UK government and the European Union endeavour to go through the process of ratification of the agreement but as well continue contingency planning in case ratification process fales, we believe this provides an opportunity for inclusion of specific references to health and supply of medicines and substance based medical devices that can guarantee access to those and protect public health in Europe and UK. For the three legal categories AESGP is representing, this means the following:
1. The United Kingdom should be as integrated in the European marketing authorisation / registration system for medicinal products as possible. In terms of manufacturing and supply (QP certification/release and batch testing/release more specifically), an MRA should be put in place between the UK and the EU to ensure continuity of supply and ultimately avoid disruption of patient access. If no MRA is agreed, temporary EU acceptance of UK batch testing would avoid immediate shortages at time of exit. In light of the positive contributions made in the past, it would be desirable that the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) continues to participate in all relevant EU committees at the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
2. Similar as for the medicines, a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) is needed between the EU and the UK for medical devices to ensure the recognition of UK Notified Bodies / CE-mark by EU members. Post-Brexit UK Regulations should continue to align with the EU Medical Device Regulation to avoid disrupt access to innovation.
3. While the availability of food supplements seems to be not in question, the questions around a more liberal approach towards labelling (including claims) and composition (e.g. nutrients levels, food additives uses) has been raised. This should however be handled with care and reflect balanced judgement and robust science to ensure consumer trust and free movement of food supplements between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
4. The customs classification of raw materials and unfinished goods should be based on their intended use and final destination to ensure low tariffs and simple processes for importation between the UK and the EU. There should be a simplified customs clearance procedure for materials and unfinished products which are being shipped between facilities belonging to the same company. Both UK and EU member states' governments need to make robust border plans in the event of no deal to ensure companies' supply chains can continue functioning and are not negatively affected by border delays. More specifically relevant authorities should consider:
a. putting fast track lanes or priority routes for medicines and medical technologies into ports and airports;
b. temporary exempting medicines and medical devices from any new customs and borders checks;
c. enable paperwork and regulatory checks to be completed away from the physical border;
d. recognise certificates issued in the UK to ensure that planes can continue to fly.
5. Tariff exemptions between the UK and the EU should continue to apply for self-care products.
The AESGP members continue to invested in ensuring preparedness for every eventuality until there is certainty of orderly exit. Nevertheless, self-care Industry calls for an explicit commitment of EU27 and UK to securing long-term, extensive cooperation in the field of health and medical technologies, which we believe is in the best interests of citizens and public health.
