These Stunning Images of the U.S. A-10 Thunderbolts in Kuwait say a lot about their missions against ISIS
March 3, 2015 David Cenciotti Troubled Areas, War on ISIS 36
A-10s involved in Operation Inherent Resolve carry a full complement of air-to-ground weaponry.
The pictures in this post were taken at the end of January at Ahmed al Jaber airbase, in Kuwait, where A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes belonging to the 163rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron "Blacksnakes", part of the 122nd Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard, based at Fort Wayne, Indiana, are currently deployed to support Operation Inherent Resolve against IS militants in Iraq and Syria.
Although some videos of the Thunderbolts using their GAU-8 Avenger a 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-type cannon to support Kurdish fighters had already surfaced, the photographs released by the U.S. Department of Defense provide some more details and clearly show, for the first time, the loadout of the "Hogs" involved in the air war against ISIS.
Noteworthy, as noted with little differences on previous deployments in Afghanistan, along with their trademark cannon, the aircraft carry an interesting mix of rockets, missiles and bombs, that enable the pilot to select the proper weapon to attack any kind of target, from technicals, to tanks, to armored vehicles, to light and heavy fixed or moving targets: AGM-65 Maverick missiles (on station 3 and 9), LAU-131 rocket launcher (station 2), GBU-12 Paveway LGBs (Laser Guided Bombs – on station 5 and 7), GBU-38 JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack Munitions – station 4 and 8) and an AN/AAQ-28 Litening AT targeting pod (station 10).
Considered that there is no risk to meet any enemy fighter, the A-10s don't carry any AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile.
By the way, as highlighted by Wim Zwijnenburg, the Pentagon has just confirmed that: "[…] US and Coalition aircraft have not been, and will not be, using depleted uranium munitions in Iraq or Syria during Operation Inherent Resolve," meaning that the 30 mm Depleted Uranium ammunition has not and won't be loaded onto the A-10s.
The pilots wear the Scorpion Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS), the world's only, full-color Helmet Mounted Cueing System: the helmet system enables the aircrews to rapidly cue sensors or weapons, and to designate targets by simply "looking at" the target or point of interest. Furthermore, it takes all the information collected by the plane's sensors and positions it on the ground so that each pilot can look at a heads-up display and know exactly where the ground targets are positioned without the need to look inside the cockpit and never losing visual contact of these targets.
While the "Warthog" remains one of the weapons of choice for Close Air Support and Battlefield Air Interdiction missions against the Islamic State, the U.S. Air Force has announced that 18 planes (and maybe 19 more) will be mothballed later this year and placed into "Backup Aircraft Inventory" status to save money and free up experienced maintainers destined to the F-35 fleet.

Writer: Scott Snyder Artist: Jorge Jimenez Publisher: DC Comics Release Date: January 29, 2020 Cover Price: $3.99 Critic Reviews: 23 User Reviews: 48
In the wake of the Justice/Doom War, the Justice League finds themselves stranded at the far end of the universe and facing a challenge they've never faced before. But what will they find on their journey? Has their battle with Perpetua had consequences reaching farther across the cosmos than they ever imagined? Superstar scribe Scott Snyder says farewell to the Justice League with a special story that both winds down all the things he started in issue #1-and nods toward everything that comes next in the DC Universe.
DC Comics News - Derek McNeil Jan 29, 2020
While I am sad to see Snyder's run on Justice League come to an end, I am eager to see how the story continues in this new "Mayhem" event. And with Venditti coming in to take over the writing duties, the title will be in good hands. I am eagerly awaiting to see both the conclusion to Snyder's story and the start of Venditti's story.

Comics: The Gathering - Wes Greer Jan 29, 2020

GWW - Deron Generally Jan 29, 2020
Jimenez, Sampere, and Albarran bring the story to life with vibrant, energetic art that perfectly captures the tone of the plot. Jimenez brings energy to the battle against Perpetua and both Sampere and Albarran bring a somber reality to its aftermath as the heroes find themselves facing the unknown in a universe of shadow and possibility. Read Full Review
Black Nerd Problems - Keith Reid-Cleveland Feb 3, 2020
This being Snyder's last issue of the series admittedly feels a little jarring because it wasn't perfectly wrapped up with a bow. But this is a major comic book title. His job wasn't to wrap up the story as much as it was to hand it off to the next team and give them an exciting starting point. And that's exactly what he did. Read Full Review
AIPT - David Brooke Jan 29, 2020
This is a brave and bold finish to a 10-part story that had a lot riding on it. What could have rang as false is handled with truth and vision. In its final moments Justice League proves the team, much like the heroes on it, can be a force used to inspire hope and empowerment. There is a message here that is crafted not to be against anything like war or violence but is positive in its hope for compassion, life, and finding the hero inside all of us. We just need to believe it's there. Read Full Review
Beyond The Panel - Jideobi Odunze Jan 29, 2020
It's never truly a war to remember if you can see how it ends. Justice League #39 found an excellent way to keep us all on our toes, because at the end of the day, where is the fun if everything is that straightforward? I found myself applauding this story because if you asked me how I felt about investing in an event book for a whole year? I would have laughed while moving on to the next book. For me, they have done great work to make this something worthwhile from start to finish. Read Full Review
Comic Watch - Cody White Jan 29, 2020
nd thus we come to the end of an era, for better or worse. Snyder's Justice League was complex from the opening pages and a complex ending should surprise nobody who stuck around to the end. Perhaps it was overly complex in the end given the droves of internet comments of people who couldn't stick with the book for various reasons. Those of us who did stand by, though, were treated to something that certainly pushed the boundaries of comics narrative. Read Full Review
The Brazen Bull - Charlie Chipman Jan 29, 2020

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Jan 29, 2020
There's little doubt the upcoming event will be worth the payoff, but DC probably could have staggered releasing this issue to some degree to better connect to the next massive arc. As is, this is an effective hook for the continuation of the saga even if DC is leaving readers hanging as to when that will begin. Read Full Review
Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jan 29, 2020
Snyder and Tynion turned this run into a fascinating spine for the entire DCU as the battle with Perpetua defined the entire DCU for the last year. It's hard to review this run as a conclusion, because it's not one, and the legacy of this story is yet to be determined as it likely spins off into something much bigger. Read Full Review
411Mania - John Pumpernickel Jan 30, 2020
If you've been keeping up with things, Snyder has really focused on the heroes doing heroic things. This issue hits all the marks and attempts to make sense of how the story was impacted by other events in the DC universe.Overall I enjoyed the story Snyder and the team told and believe it will age well in the future. Read Full Review
But Why Tho? - CJ Jan 29, 2020
Justice League #39ends Scott Snyder's run the way it began, with our beloved heroes standing strong in the face of evil. Although it isn't a perfect ending, I still love the work Snyder, Jimenez, Sampere, and other writers and artists brought to this title during their tenure. I hope that the new creative team of Robert Vendetti and Bryan Hitch can keep up that same energy. Read Full Review
Multiversity Comics - Gregory Ellner Feb 3, 2020
Though flawed in how it perhaps puts too much of the onus on other books for a final issue, the finale of this truly epic (in every sense of the term) saga is constructed very well overall, albeit with a lot of that carried by the first half. Read Full Review
Comic Book Revolution - Rokk Feb 3, 2020
I am definitely sad to see Scott Snyder leave the pages of the Justice League. Snyder's Justice League has immediately become my favorite run on the Justice League. Period. However, I am full of hope that Robert Venditti is poised and primed to deliver an entertaining Justice League as well. Read Full Review
Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson Feb 4, 2020

Weird Science - Jim Werner Jan 29, 2020
Scott Snyder ends his Justice League story, and while it makes me very hopeful for the future, it has me disappointed in the here and now. Everything ends so quickly and then doesn't end at all. It makes this entire run feel like a setup for the next more significant thing, and while I understand how this sort of thing works, that doesn't mean I have to like it. I still will recommend reading this issue, just not for a satisfying conclusion to this Justice League story. Read Full Review
ComicBook.com - Christian Hoffer Jan 29, 2020

You Don't Read Comics - Rick Lopez Jan 1, 1970
Yet again delivering a complete non-ending to another story, there will be yet another mini-series to spread his story out even further and thinner. The decompressed nature of comic books has infected the medium to the point that its acceptable to span out one story over a two-year timespan while it accomplished little to nothing in the end before everything is set back to the status quo.

Impulse Gamer - Matt Fischer Apr 16, 2020
Snyder didn't even try to stick the landing. Instead he bounced the plane off the runway and back into flight. You have not reached your final destination. Read Full Review
This issue is not an ending not at all. I can understand why some people hate it but for me this is the best JL run since new 52 I mean I loved what Johns did but this has something special since I grown up with "Super Friends" so see how Snyder brought back the Legion Of Doom and how he plays with some great teams (JSA) and the way he mixes different characters from stories that have a special place for me was great. Maybe it's pure nostalgia but I appreciate that "Metal" has laid the foundations for such a story. The art was pretty great in this issue and in the whole arc.
Br'er Lapin AKA 20-Ish Ceiln Jan 31, 2020
The only thing bad about this issue will be waiting to see a continuation. Was that a hint at Doomsday Clock?
Amazing Psycamorean - Jan 31, 2020
Yes, it was a hint that Doomsday Clock isn't canon.
Br'er Lapin AKA 20-Ish Ceiln - Jan 31, 2020
Except it literally says "Everything happened"
The way it is worded seems to suggest what other books have said like Flash about "time and reality being out of sync" as well as everything meeting in this door they are entering being where all continuity will combine... so probably another Crisis. Scott Snyder pretty much confirmed this in an interview about the issue.
"The idea is that everything happened – and happened IN continuity – everything mattered, Doomsday Clock, Year Of The Villain, stories old and new, there's just a story reason why it doesn't seem that way on the surface right now. Bottom line, we need to reward fans for their dedication and passion for all the characters, for all these great stories, and say – now let's do a big, crazy story that shows the connections, some obvious, some secret, a story that's celebrates and rocks the whole DCU"
All that means is DC gave up on continuity and need to fix it retroactively. What a great reward.
Dc Fan of Sorts - Feb 2, 2020
All it means is what we have known for months now, DC is ushering in their complete timeline. It already started with Snyder's story in Wonder Woman #750 and will continue in Flash #750. Then we get Metal 2 this summer that will give us 5G and the new DCU with younger heroes in charge. This is all old news by now.
TheHyruleElf Jan 29, 2020
It's frustrating because, most of Snyder's Justice League is technically well written and enjoyable, but it's so frustrating to have another non-end. I swear, since the Metal, it's been non-stop, "You won't believe what's coming next!" every seven months. Like, can we get a proper ending please? Is that so hard Snyder?! So I will see what Snyder and Capullo bring next, but if it doesn't end after that, I think I'm done.
DVE - Jan 29, 2020
Why did you give it an 8?
TheHyruleElf - Jan 29, 2020
I mean, I still enjoyed the issue overall. I guess I just wish Snyder would end his damn stories.
Superheroes for Hire - Jan 30, 2020
After the onslaught of new story elements, I finally quit when I heard of Hell Arisen and the Infected storylines. He couldn't even conclude Dark Nights Metal. Last thing I ever want to see is Apex Lex vs Batman Who Laughs vs Perpetua.
M1sf1r3 Jan 29, 2020
It's the final issue of Scott Snyder's run. But after everything that has happened, can it conclude itself in a satisfying way?
Loved J'onn's speech.
The tying together of everything was great.
It's going to be interesting to see where things go from here.
Jimenez's art is great.
It doesn't really end.
Also it ends on a loss. Not sure how I feel about that.
Hmm... this was a hard one. It was good but it's not really concluded is it?

What? I'm honestly not sure what happened here or what is going on. I guess they lost (which was predictable from Snyder's tweets and teases) but what is this door and lead up to another story. I'm not excited at all, especially since this was hyped up as the ending of an amazing run. Overall I did like this run, just didn't like the way it ended, which is a shame.

egonnn244 Jan 29, 2020
"What?!"
Now, this. This is some grade-A, superior, next level of... Bulls*it!!!
Are you serious right now?! After Metal, No Justice and 38 issues of Justice League, where almost every next story arc had to be bigger than the last one, you won't give us the conclusion of this whole story?
You're just going to use this issue as a set-up for some next event that may or may not actually finally finish this prolonged, drawn-out story? Well...
F*CK!!! THAT!!! S*IT!!!
As for the issue itself, it's fine. Serves as a good enough setup for "The Encore!". Some of the Quintessence dialogue feels like it's more about the state of the DC Comics and DC universe that it is about the actual story.
Honestly, I'm glad that Snyder's run on this book is over.
Almost 40 issues of big, huge, epic space/cosmic/universal things and the one thing I will remember from it will be Jorge Jimenez's and Alejandro Sanchez's stunningly beautiful art. more

Amazing Psycamorean Feb 1, 2020
It just keeps going. This series needed to matter, not just be yet another stepping stone. It's just annoying. I'm not excited for The Encore, as they dub it. I hate how little continuity matters to DC. To the point where nothing lines up, because there's no editorial planning, and now we need a crisis to fix it. And you know that 5 to 10 years down the line, we'll be having another one. This crisis isn't a reward to fans who read everything. This is saying that it all matters, without showing that it did. They can say it matters all they want. They can have a crisis that ends with a timeline of everything mattering so they can push 5G. The reason why I dislike it is that at no point does it feel like it matters. The DCU doesn't feel like a cohesive universe and it's not that hard. You want proof of that, go read Marvel. This crisis is just a shorthand. They didn't actually put the work in. And that means continuity will fall apart again and again after this is all said and done. Maybe I'm cynical and wrong, but history shows that I'm not. I would love if DC proved me wrong. more

Know what I think would be really powerful? If they had a hope spot where it seemed like finally the heroes were on the verge of winning, and then suddenly something happens to tip the balance back to the villains, who immediately gloat about it. What a really cool thing that would be. Too bad they've never thought to try it in this comic—whoa, déjà vu! Who knows how that happened. It's wild how this comic's apparent thesis is "we have to make everybody connected, we have to make everything matter" when nothing about this universe is connected, and literally none of it matters. This is a real waste of everybody's time, and what a garbage non-ending we were rewarded with for slogging through this eternal mess.
JBL Reviews Feb 1, 2020
39 issues later and the finale is not any kind of finale? Really?
Batman Jones Jan 29, 2020
The only thing that was interesting about the Justice/Doom War was the thousand guest stars Snyder kept introducing as if with an exclamation mark. And then he did nothing with any of them. First Mera joined the team and did nothing. Then every hero in the DCU proper joined the JL and did nothing. The they added the JSA, Kamandi, DC One Million characters, Batman Beyond characters, Kingdom Come characters, and even Rorschach, often at the ends of issues, indicating cliffhangers involving those characters. And none of them did anything either.
Guest stars that serve purely as window dressing while talking heads repeat the same things over and over as a sigil changes colors from pink to green back to green again--like standing on a street corner and watching a walk/don't walk sign change back and forth--does not constitute storytelling.
It's not that the story was bad; it's that it wasn't a story at all. That Jimenez art though... that's always a treat. Too bad it was so badly wasted. This run had such a promising start. Sigh. more

Well I should have known better. Snyder once again proves he can never write a good ending. The whole series dragged on and on, All this build up for that ending? I've been burned by Snyder to many times now and will no longer buy books with his name on them. DCs continuity means absolutely nothing anymore. Snyder should be embarrassed that this is the best he could do after years of build up.

That ended like a wet fart.
Rascal4Hire Jan 31, 2020
Being a long time fan of JL and Snyder I can say that this is not only disappointing but offensive. It's exactly the same thing DC did with Batman or Event Leviathan. A build up with no ending or resolution that it's only purpose is to sell a different book. It's unfair and "scammy".
The elephant in the room: Editors not doing their job and instead forcing their own opinions.
The other elephant in the room: Review sites that act as promotional tools for DC. NO DC Comics News, Comics: The Gathering , GWW, AIPT, Beyond The Panel, Comic Watch, The Brazen Bull, Lyles Movie Files, Geek Dad etc this is not a good issue and it's a horrible non-ending.

Thank god this bullshit is over. Why anyone would want a Justice League book where the heroes almost never win is beyond me. DC needs to do some housecleaning and Snyder, despite a few good stories, needs to go along with King and Bendis. Get writers back in who know how to tell complete stories and remember what the point of having heroes is. This entire run was trash.
Death's Head Jan 29, 2020
What the hell was this this was the most horrible non-ending I've ever seen, souring even more a so-so run.

Just like everything Snyder writes, this run ends with nothing. For a worthless, meaningless story, it lasts too long. Perpetua is a boring, annoying, outdated villain and that makes the JL even dumber. I may be wrong but is Snyder whining about editorial decisions in the story? That's pretty unprofessional and narrow-minded I think since the story is JUST BAD.

Memorial Museum to Earn LEED Green Certification

KEYWORDS LEED / LEED gold / LEED Green
Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), will present Soldiers Memorial Military Museum with the prestigious LEED green building certification during a ceremony at Soldiers Memorial on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2019, at 3:30 pm. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system, developed by USGBC, is the foremost program for buildings, homes and communities that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance. The Missouri Historical Society, which operates Soldiers Memorial and led the multi-year, $30 million renovation of the building, was first notified the project would receive LEED Gold on February 8, 2019.
"Soldiers Memorial's LEED certification is a tremendous example of green building leadership," said Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO of USGBC. "LEED was created to make the world a better place, revolutionize our buildings and create spaces that help improve our own living standard. Soldiers Memorial serves as a prime example of how green building strategies can be applied to existing buildings and used to elevate and protect historical buildings while ensuring they meet today's performance standards."
During his visit to St. Louis, Ramanujam will also recognize the Gateway Arch, which earned LEED Gold certification for its newly renovated Visitor Center and Museum.
"We are excited to celebrate these two iconic and historic St. Louis buildings, that are now also green and healthy buildings," said Emily Andrews, executive director of the Missouri Gateway Chapter of the USGBC.
"It's very rare for two museums within the same region to obtain LEED Gold at the same time," said Angela Moore, Facilities and Sustainability Coordinator for the Missouri Historical Society. "We're honored USGBC president and CEO Mahesh Ramanujam chose to personally present LEED plaques to Soldiers Memorial Military Museum and the Gateway Arch Visitor Center and Museum. It's wonderful to see St. Louis' sustainable building projects being recognized at an international level."
Meeting the rigorous standards for LEED certification is a difficult task to achieve when it comes to renovating historic structures. Originally completed in 1938, Soldiers Memorial Military Museum reopened in November 2018 following a multi-year, $30 million renovation led by the Missouri Historical Society (MHS). With the help of Mackey Mitchell Architects and BSI Constructors, MHS worked to address all LEED categories including:
Sustainable Sites
The Missouri Historical Society renovated the Court of Honor at Soldiers Memorial by developing an outdoor space that encourages community connection and engagement. Updates to the Court of Honor were designed to encourage visitors and pedestrians to spend as much time outside Soldiers Memorial as they would inside. The renovations took into account alternative means of transportation and included a new electric charging station for electric vehicles. The use of a white roof reduces the heat island effect, which helps to minimize the effects of greenhouse gases.
MHS optimized Soldiers Memorial's energy performance by installing an energy efficient HVAC system. Staff continue to benchmark energy usage so the Missouri Historical Society can continue to optimize its operations. all of the original light fixtures were restored and retrofitted for use with LED bulbs.
Materials & Resources
MHS reused materials whenever possible, including granite steps, marble walls, and the original Vitrolite panels in the public restrooms. When it was not feasible to reuse materials, MHS purchased materials that had been recycled, sourced locally, and/or were from a certified responsible source. Construction waste was treated responsibly. Materials were recycled and a local hauler was used to dispose of waste generated.
A priority in the St. Louis region is indoor air quality. MHS addressed this priority by using environmentally responsible materials and effective use of operational equipment. Low emitting materials were used during construction and for permanent features within Soldiers Memorial.
"We are so pleased to have maintained the architectural and historic integrity of Soldiers Memorial while also creating a sustainable and energy-efficient 21st –century museum for the public to enjoy for generations to come," said Karen Goering, managing director of administration and operations for the Missouri Historical Society and project manager of the revitalization. "We can't preserve the past without securing our present. The Missouri Historical Society looks forward to continuing our sustainability efforts in the years to come.

NATO 'committed' to negotiating between Turkey and Greece

NATO is committed to further strengthening the conflict resolution mechanism between Turkey and Greece to ease tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, the organisation's Secretary General said on Tuesday. Jens Stoltenberg made his comments during a news conference about the NATO 2030 project, Anadolu has reported.
Stoltenberg said that NATO wants to build better ties with between Greece and Turkey. "I'm committed to strengthening this mechanism further to build more comprehensive confidence-building measures." he explained.
There has been a major rift between the two countries over drilling activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and the long-running Cyprus issue. Turkey has consistently contested efforts by EU members Greece and Cyprus to restrict its legitimate energy research in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Also on Tuesday, Turkey reaffirmed its readiness for dialogue with Greece following the return to port of the Turkish research vessel the Oruc Reis.

"As is known, Turkey has been in favour of dialogue with Greece without preconditions since the beginning," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hami Aksoy in response to a question on possible talks after the Oruc Reis had returned to port.
In recent months, Turkey has sent several drilling ships to explore for energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean, asserting its own rights in the region, as well as those of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).

The Ecological Self
Ideas, Images, and Perspectives for a More Harmonious Human-Nature Relationship
A Short Note on Dualism
The prominent and late ecofeminist Val Plumwood (2002) provides a penetrating analysis of the structure of dualism, an essential component of hierarchies in all their forms and as well as a key driver of the damaged human-nature dialectic. Plumwood (2002) reminds us that many of the traditional, interrelating, and mutually reinforcing dichotomies that have persisted since time immemorial such as culture/nature, human/animal, subject/object, self/other, reason/emotion, male/female, white/black, mind/body, and civic/domestic are not inherently dualistic. That is, distinctions don't always nor need they result in dualisms or the 'antagonistic structuring of otherness' (Bookchin, 2005; Plumwood, 2002, pg. 41). Rather, dualism is a distinctly alienated form of differentiation whereby assumptions of inferiority are made (incorrectly so) about the subordinated 'other' and any qualities associated with it. This morphs the relations between the relata into dualistic form, characterized by radical exclusion (rigid hyper-separation whereby Master defines himself against the inferior 'other', who is relegated to an entirely different order of being), domination, backgrounding (denial of dependency on/significance of the other), incorporation (construing the subordinate 'other' as a lack in relation to the Master identity rather than as an autonomous entity), instrumentalization or commodification, and homogenization (Plumwood, 2002, pg. 47; Diehm, 2003). Plumwood (2002) poignantly adds that "a major aim of dualistic construction is polarization, to maximize distance or separation between the dualised spheres and to prevent their ever being seen as continuous or contiguous", which in turn serves to 'naturalize domination' (pg. 49; 54).
The paradoxical nature of the classical logic that underpins dualism is such that the master identity (M) is construed as 'the universe' and 'the other' is only distinguishable as the absence or negation of M (~M). Thus the 'other' is not independently or positively identified but rather is "entirely dependent on M for its specification", and simply construed as lack of M (pg. 56). Negation in relevant logic, by contrast, leads to a non-hierarchical notion of otherness by positing it not as lack of M (~M) but as "another and further condition- a difference– yielding a concept of the 'other' which is not just specified negatively but is independently characterized" (pg. 59). Plumwood (2002) concludes by noting that overcoming dualism and hierarchy requires that we develop non-hierarchical concepts of difference that "recognizes our dependence on others, conceives of relations between 'self' and 'other' in more integrated ways, reviews and reclaims positive sources of identities of 'self' and 'other' (critical reconstruction and affirmation), recognizes the needs of the other as independent and deserving of respect, and recognizes the value in complexity and diversity (pg. 60)." Thus, herein lies the danger in the seemingly altruistic idea that emphasizing what makes us like one another is an adequate basis for affinity, as in, 'He or she should be loved, respected, and treated kindly because he/she is just like us.' This line of thinking ultimately leads to the relegation of the 'others', those who are not like us, to an inferior realm. An affinity for sameness can and should also go along with a love for difference and diversity.

This is my first time linking up with Doodle Bugs for her Five for Friday Linky!
But also want to link up with Simpson's Superstars because she is just so sweet to me and I adore her! Her linky is about sharing how your Valentine's Day went!
I kicked off my Valentine's Week with a burst blood vessel in my eye! (I just woke up with it!) So I spent my Valentine's Day like a pirate! Aaaargh!
The kids were seriously grossing out so my girl, Wersty came to my rescue with a patch from her pirate library lessons. We covered it in hearts for Valentine's Day!
I apologize for the next picture but I have to show you what I woke up to!
I feel nothing but it looks FREAKY!
We had a fabulous V-Day and the most hilarious part was when Tony came home bearing gifts and one of baby girl's balloons was in Spanish. We asked him why he chose this one, and he did a double take said he thought it said, "Be my princess." We all laughed so hard!!
Tears were rolling out of my eye patch.
Now every other word we say happens to be BESAME PRINCESA in a super thick accent.
Another highlight of V-day was Cupcake's Craft! It was the HIT of the day!
We are beak deep in our penguin studies so today they measured and created these cuties to exact height and we compared and contrasted the rockhopper to the king.
That first grader's comment was too funny! Love the gumball machine valentine!
Hope it looks better ASAP!
hahahaha!! that last comment made me laugh out loud!!
I had that same thing happen with my eye a few times–I was told I could have sneezed too hard or blew my nose to hard and that could have caused it! Ever since then, if I feel I sneezed too hard, I check my eyes! HA! I hope it clears up soon, but it's just a waiting game….Good thing you have that eyepatch! 🙂 Your poor kids having to deal with it and all-ha ha ha….
Hahahahahaha! Kids are hilarious. I love how Teri's gumball crafts turned out. Besame Princesa!
The eyepatch was such a smart idea! I had that happen to me near the beginning of the school year. Mine lasted for two months. I hope yours goes away much sooner, but even if it doesn't your kids will start to get used to it.
I had a burst blood vessel for New Year's 2000. Looking back I wish I'd had a cool pirate eye patch, lol!
Whoa…your eyeball looks freaky for real! Like Twilight, before they eat and their eyes are blood red, freaky! Too bad it's not Halloween! Besame Princesa! HA! Hilarious!!
Don't you just love when first graders say the most ridiculous things!? LOVE the gum all machines!! Pinning for next year!
I'm not gonna lie. . .your eye is kind of freaky looking. But honestly the spanish balloon picture is HILARIOUS!!!!!! I'm hosting a linky for people to share their Valentine's Day pictures, I'd love for you to link up this post if you have time (freaky eye and all). Enjoy your weekend.
You're just adorbs! Hearts, eye patch and all:) So cute and the balloon thing cracked me up!!! Too funny! Wish we could do all those fun crafts….only 5 teacher days until the big bad state writing test….blah!
ahahahah! Kids says the darndest things!! Love those penguins and Cupcake's craft!!
Oh my goodness – that looks terrible. Good thinking on the eye patch. I am sure it would have been distracting to students ALL DAY 🙂 Your gumball machines look great!
I'm glad your eye looks worse than it feels… because it looks bad!!! Do those just go away?!? I've never had a burst blood vessel!
I love the penguins & I hope your eye is better!!

How COVID-19 affects the brain and can cause...
delirium, stroke and nerve damage
9 July 2020 09:06 am - 0 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Infection with the coronavirus can cause delirium, stroke and nerve damage in 'a higher than expected number of patients', a study has found.
Experts from University College London have reported a 'concerning increase' amid the pandemic of a rare brain inflammation known to be triggered by viral infections.
Typically seen in children, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis — or 'ADEM', for short — affects the both the brain and spinal cord.
The condition — which can follow on from minor infections such as colds — sees immune cells activated to attack the fatty protective coating that covers nerves.
The researchers have warned that clinicians need to be aware of the risk of neurological effects to help early diagnoses and improve patient outcomes.
'We identified a higher than expected number of people with neurological conditions such as brain inflammation,' said paper author and consultant neurologist Michael Zandi of the University College London. The appearance of these conditions, he added, 'did not always correlate with the severity of respiratory symptoms.'
'We should be vigilant and look out for these complications in people who have had COVID-19.'
'Whether we will see an epidemic on a large scale of brain damage linked to the pandemic — perhaps similar to the encephalitis lethargica outbreak in the 1920s and 1930s after the 1918 influenza pandemic — remains to be seen.'
The researchers also found that other neurobiological complications — including delirium, stroke and nerve damage — appear to be associated with coronavirus.
In their study, Dr Zandi and colleagues studied 43 patients — aged from 16-85 — with both neurological symptoms and either confirmed or suspected COVID-19 that were treated at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London.
According to the researchers, many of the patients did not experience any of the respiratory symptoms often associated with the coronavirus. Among the cohort, the team identified 10 cases of temporary brain dysfunction with delirium, eight cases of strokes and eight cases with nerve damage.
There were also 12 cases of brain inflammation — with nine of such patients being diagnosed with ADEM.
Under normal circumstances, the London-based team said that they would only see around one adult patient with ADEM per month, on average — but that this figure has increased to at least one patient per week amid the pandemic.
SARS-CoV-2 — the virus which causes COVID-19 — was not detected in the brain or spinal fluid of any of the patients tested, however, the researchers said. This, they explained, suggests that the virus did not directly cause the neurological symptoms and that some complications of COVID-19 'might come from [one's] immune response, rather than the virus itself.'
Further studies are needed to identify exactly why some COVID-19 patients are developing neurological complications, the researchers concluded.

Carici-Centaureetum rupestris er et plantesamfund, som findes i tørre karstområder, hvor den oprindelige bøgeskov er afløst af fåregræssede, lysåbne egeskove. Samfundet er knyttet til karst, hvor undergrunden er kalk med talrige sprækker og rende, og hvor muldlaget er meget tyndt. Planterne er ligeledes afhængige af konstant lystilgang, og derfor findes samfundet kun på områder, hvor der foregår vedvarende græsning eller høslæt.

I try to have a good balance of learning and fun. I believe that structured routine is important for children and helps them develop crucial life skills, and free-play and imagination is as equally important for their success. We also have healthy meals and snacks, with the occasional treat. Sometimes we may go on a field trip but usually not in the winter time as our city's roads tend to be ice and snow covered constantly! We are a Christian family and our home is smoke free. We do have some african dwarf frogs that live in an aquarium and pacman frog that lives in a tank. They are kept upstairs out of reach from little hands.

Ethical conduct is justified by reasons that go beyond prudence to "something bigger than the individual", addressing a larger audience.

Singer and Wells endorsed both the payment of medical expenses endured by surrogate mothers and an extra "fair fee" to compensate the surrogate mother. Similar to his argument for abortion rights, Singer argues that newborns lack the essential characteristics of personhood—"rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness" [52] —and therefore "killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living".
Singer has replied that many people judge him based on secondhand summaries and short quotations taken out of context, not his books or articles and, that his aim is to elevate the status of animals, not to lower that of humans.
With the exception of those few people who make their livelihood from raising, trapping, and selling fur, eliminating the trade entirely would not likely have any huge impact on society.
Singer's writing in Greater Good magazine, published by the Greater Good Science Center of the University of California, Berkeleyincludes the interpretation of scientific research into the roots of compassion, altruism, and peaceful human relationships.

Where your matter has not been able to be resolved by any of the alternative dispute resolutions means then you will need to consider whether to proceed to court and litigate. Sometimes, there are very good reasons as to why alternative dispute methods are not suitable and you may then have to consider whether to proceed to court by-passing the alternative dispute resolution means.
In most cases even when you proceed to court, it is usually possible, at some stage of the litigation, to consider engaging or re-engaging in alternative dispute resolution.
Going to court is not easy and is costly and is often totally different to parties' expectations. For these reasons we consider it important to guide you with care and empathy and respect through this challenging process having regard to your individual needs and circumstances. Sometimes we will refer you to other experts or engage other experts on your behalf to help and guide you through your court process.

Nobody knows everything. We always need training or updating our skills. Sometimes we want to learn something new as a hobby or challenge, or need to acquire new skills in order to get a job.
Earlier in the month you created your schedule for the next year. You may not have thought about training or skills during that exercise, so today's the time to do that.
You may already know what training you need, in which case you can spend today searching for courses (on or offline) to apply for. If you work for a university or other organisation check if they already offer the training you require.
want to do (this might be something that would be useful but isn't required for your job, at least not right now).
To identify specific training needs you could record yourself thinking aloud; or sketch out or list areas where you feel you need support. For example, you might have lots of data so note you need training in a particular analysis package plus how to present your findings once you have them. Or you may discover while you've been focused on writing a paper for publication you are less sure how to use social media to share your findings and would like to learn that; but along the way discover you could take a comedy course for presenters to help make your work more engaging and increase your confidence.
It may be you have numerous, interlinking, study needs. If that's the case you may have to take whatever course is open to you depending on availability; but you might want to schedule your learning so what you study fits with your research timeline with each new skill you learn enhancing the next.
Alternatively you may be on a low income and worry you can't afford training. There are lots of free courses available online, or how-to videos on YouTube. Many publishers in particular have these so check out their websites. Podcasts can also be a valuable source of information, and some events offer discounted or free places or bursaries. As you seek out training make time to search for assisted places.
As with the other tasks in #ResearcherRenew there's no pressure, so don't feel you must fill your year with lots of training. Instead work out what you definitely need to do, and then schedule that into your year. Remember to include time spent identifying training courses (on or offline), training events themselves, travel, and preparation/assessment/homework. And keep this going from now on, that way you keep your skills updated. Plus if you spot some training you don't need but someone else might benefit from you can always pass it on.
* woo hoo! The asterisks show training I run. Drop me a line if you want me to come and sort out your research and get you feeling better in the process.

(francisé en  où Oswon ), né le  à Sinaia et mort le  à Estoril au Portugal, est roi de Roumanie de 1930 à 1940. Il est le fils de  et de Marie d'Édimbourg.

Biographie

Né en Roumanie mais élevé entre Londres, Berlin, Paris et Nice, il reçoit une éducation internationale (ses ennemis jurés, les « légionnaires » diront « cosmopolite ») et, bien qu'étant un Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, s'exprime de préférence en anglais et en français. Il voyage beaucoup, s'adonne aux fêtes, développe une addiction pour les jeux de hasard, se passionne pour les chevaux, les voitures et les aéroplanes et, contre la volonté de son père, le roi , épouse, le , : Ioana Valentina dite Zizi Lambrino (1898-1953), fille d'un officier d'état-major, connue pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le mariage, annulé en 1919, voit toutefois un enfant, Mircea (nommé d'après son plus jeune frère, le prince Mircea, décédé a l'âge de 3 ans en 1916), naître de cette union en 1920.

Le , le jeune prince épouse Hélène de Grèce (1896-1982), fille du roi . Marié contre son gré par raison d'État, Carol noue une liaison avec une Roumaine de confession juive, Elena Lupescu (1902-1977). En 1925, la vie privée relativement dissolue du prince Carol incite  à le forcer à renoncer à ses droits au trône le 28 décembre , et donc à désigner son petit-fils Michel, le fils aîné de Carol, comme héritier de la couronne. La Roumanie est alors une monarchie parlementaire et ce changement reçoit l'approbation du Parti libéral, au pouvoir en Roumanie et hostile à Carol perçu comme trop proche de leurs adversaires politiques du Parti paysan. Carol s'installe à Nice, en France sous le nom de Carol Caraiman. Il y mène grand train et lance, par médecins interposés, la rumeur qu'il serait priapique, afin d'attirer davantage de maîtresses potentielles. Il dilapide une partie de sa fortune à Monaco.

À la mort de  en 1927, une régence s'installe, le jeune roi  étant âgé de six ans. Cette situation incite Carol, dont les finances commencent à baisser, à tenter à nouveau sa chance dans son pays natal. En , Carol obtient du Parti paysan au pouvoir l'abrogation de l'acte de renonciation au trône et son avènement au trône de Roumanie sous le nom de . Trouvant le parlementarisme roumain peu efficace face à la montée des extrémismes (Garde de fer) et face à la crise économique, il cherche dès lors à mettre en place un régime politique plus personnel, sur les modèles yougoslave () et bulgare ().

Jouant sur les divisions parlementaires et sur l'antagonisme des extrémismes de gauche et de droite, Carol heurte les partis démocratiques qui craignent son autoritarisme, l'Église qui lui reproche son style de vie et son épicurisme affiché et les « légionnaires » de la Garde de Fer qui le tiennent pour un « parasite étranger de la nation roumaine » (Corneliu Codreanu ; cette expression est par la suite aussi utilisée par les communistes).

En 1938, après une crise politique sans précédent dans le royaume, due à l'effondrement de la Petite Entente à la suite des accords de Munich,  impose un régime autoritaire appelé « dictature carliste », en modifiant profondément la constitution parlementaire de 1923. Il se dote de pouvoirs étendus, réplique par les armes aux assassinats de la Garde de fer et reste fidèle à la politique étrangère de la Roumanie, alliée de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne, tout en cherchant l'apaisement avec l'Allemagne et l'URSS. Respectueux des traités liant Bucarest et Varsovie,  ouvre ses frontières au gouvernement polonais et aux rescapés de son armée après l'invasion germano-soviétique de , utilisant le Service maritime roumain pour transporter les forces polonaises à Alexandrie où elles intègrent les troupes britanniques. Cette politique fait dire à Hitler : « la Roumanie est comme les États-Unis : elle est officiellement neutre, mais en réalité elle nous livre une guerre froide ».

En , la France qui, avec la Grande-Bretagne, avait garanti les frontières roumaines le  s'effondre, et Carol se voit privé du même coup du soutien militaire français et britannique. Pressé par l'ambassadeur allemand Manfred von Killinger, il est contraint de céder à l'ultimatum soviétique du  et au diktat de Vienne du  : la Roumanie doit abandonner aux alliés du Troisième Reich la Bessarabie et la Bucovine septentrionale, occupées par l'URSS, la Dobrogée méridionale rendue à la Bulgarie et la Transylvanie septentrionale à la Hongrie. Les « légionnaires » et une partie de l'opinion le considèrent comme responsable de ce démembrement de la « Grande Roumanie » et un coup d'État le contraint à confier la présidence du Conseil au général Ion Antonescu, proche des extrémistes de droite, en . Auto-proclamé « Conducător » (« guide », terme par la suite également utilisé par Nicolae Ceaușescu) et « Pétain roumain », Antonescu impose l'abdication du roi au profit de Michel, ainsi que son exil. Les « légionnaires » mitraillent son train à la frontière yougoslave.

Réfugié au Portugal, Carol est accueilli par Salazar à Estoril, dans une belle villa proche de celle de Miklós Horthy, l'ancien régent de Hongrie. Il épouse Elena Lupescu en  et meurt en 1953. Des légendes entourent sa vie et sa mort : il aurait toute une descendance non reconnue, il aurait enterré un trésor à Nice, dans le parc qui porte aujourd'hui son nom, ou bien dans la cave de sa villa d'Estoril, il aurait été bêtement surpris et noyé par la marée montante près d'Estoril, il aurait été noyé par d'anciens Légionnaires, ou par des agents communistes, il serait mort lors d'un orgasme, ou d'ébriété... Un point de vue anti-roumain assez répandu en fait un fasciste favorable à la Garde de Fer (selon ce même point de vue, c'est d'ailleurs toute la société roumaine elle-même qui aurait été fasciste et antisémite). Le personnage, aussi contrasté que controversé, demeure un sujet de choix pour la littérature historique « people ». Sa dépouille est rapatriée en Roumanie en 2003 et déposée dans une chapelle du parc du monastère de Curtea de Argeș avant d'être inhumée avec les honneurs militaires le  en la nouvelle cathédrale du même lieu, auprès de son fils , mort en 2017.

Q: how can I stop vi from continuing comments on the next line? I'm using vim on Centos7 with :set compatible, to make it behave like vi.
If I start a line with a # (e.g. to make a comment in a bash script), when I press return the next line also begins with #.
I don't have this annoying behavior on mac os, nor on solaris nor on cygwin. Why is Vim doing this on Centos and how can I stop it?

A: I assume you are using vim or neovim. Remove the r from formatoptions, e.g. instead of using :set fo=tcrqn use :set fo=tcqn.

Issue 4 of Slink Chunk Press IS GO! Now, this is a big call to make, but I'm going to do it cos I'm a reckless no good daughter of a gun; Issue 4 is possibly the best issue of SCP we've put together so far. Thankyou again to our fabulous contributors, the new and the recurring; the fact that you've all chosen us to be the caretaker of your word/art babies means a heck of a lot.
Next month, we're going to be trialing something a little different. Instead of collating submissions at the end of the month and releasing them a day apart, we're going to trial a kind of 'constant flow' (ummmm….) method of releasing (whhaaaa?) submissions; in other words, if you submit it, and we like it, we're going to publish it straight away. So, if you've been thinking of submitting, now really is the time to do it!
It also means that the few of you who have not been included in Issue Four, but have not heard back from me regarding your submission either, hang tight! You may be receiving some good news in the next week or so.
However, we're not going to do away with the issue format altogether. Inspired by the incredible artwork of Slink Chunk resident artist Bonny Ross (forthcoming in Issue 4), we have decided to launch a special issue that focuses on disability in science fiction and fantasy. If you would like to contribute to that, please specify in your cover letter that you are submitting for the SCP x Disability issue. At this early stage, we will also be looking for a guest editor, preferably someone who is currently living with a disability, whether it be physical or mental, who will be working with me to select submissions for the issue. If you think that's something you would like to volunteer for, please contact us at slinkchunkpress@gmail.com.
Okay, I think that's it. PEACE OUT BEAUTIFUL HUMANOIDS!

Family Well-being Centers: Delivering Community-based Mental Health Support in Syria
To reduce the high rate of psychological distress within the Syrian population and improve population-level mental health and psychosocial well-being.
Integrating MHPSS services at the community level in order to enhance service access for populations at risk of severe mental distress and to reduce the linked dual-stigma of mental health conditions and gender-based violence.
Empowerment and service user involvement
Task sharing
Families and carers
The prolonged crisis in Syrian has heavily affected the psychological well-being of the population. The vast majority of population are suffering from stress whether from trauma, loss or realistic fear. WHO estimates that 1 in 30 Syrians is suffering from a severe mental health condition such as severe depression, psychosis, or a disabling form of anxiety and that at least 1 in 5 Syrians is suffering from a mild to moderate mental health condition such as mild to moderate depression or an anxiety disorders1.
The first community center started in Aleppo in 2016, with the aim at the provision of mental health and reproductive health services for survivors of gender based violence (GBV) and people suffering from trauma-related distress. Through time, project implementation, lessons learnt and long chain of discussion with partners, the project concepts developed to suit the current needs and situations in 2019, focusing on returnees side by side with IDPs and their hosting community, in addition to strengthening the linkage between mental health and other health areas (public health and beyond).
In 2019, approximately 89,507 MHPSS services were provided through family well-being centres, MHPSS mobile teams, and other integrated emergency response teams
" The value of making a slight difference in someone's life, couldn't be explained enough by words. It is a learning experience for both sides, as well as being an existential maturity with a lasting impact over time and place."
- Lubna, Trainer and supervisor at WHO Syria office since 2014
"I had never thank anyone in my entire life, cause [because] I have always believed that no one do[es] a favour or good things in these hard days, but now I feel that you have a pure heart who helps everyone, so thank you from the bottom of my heart."
- A woman who is a widow and mother of two children killed in the war
"For me as a psychosocial counselor in the mobile team I have learned during my work patience and dealing with all people. I have learned that the smile and the good words and the real empathy can make the people love you and they are the best thing you can do to them. I have learned to feel in the way the people feel , and to found the strength in the poorest things that we have. My work in human field change my life and change my way of thinking, and I start to achieve the self- realization, and find a lot of abilities that I have, and it make me believe that success [is] not necessarily a great achievement, it can be an honest smile from a wounded person or a hope in the eyes of a disabled child and a simple thanks from a person who was seek to help and human sympathy."
-Iman Zouhri, psychosocial counselor wrote
The conflict situation affecting the Syrian population has over time become a continuous process of multiple exposure to trauma, displacements and has disrupted the environment for psycho-social well-being. Many children and adolescents exhibit symptoms of mental distress, 20% of children and adolescents suffer from disabling mental illness, 1 out of 10 need professional help2. In addition, approximately 50% of all neuro-psychiatric disorders in adults have an onset before the age of 14, while the access to mental health services remains scarce2. Therefore, there is a huge need to provide services for general population, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the returnees.
The goal of the current project is to enhance MHPSS services at community level through family well-being centers established at the heart of the community and where MHPSS services are most needed.
Family wellbeing centers structure:
The project consists of two main categories:
The family wellbeing center that hosts the family friendly space
The mobile teams tailored according to the partner's capacity and the prior assessed needs of the hosting community
Family Friendly space
It lies at the heart of the family well-being center, with the aim to provide MHPSS service to the whole family as a unit instead of focusing on one individual and to strengthen the resilience in the whole family.
The "Family-focused-approach" is situated within the community centers run by the NGOs that WHO is supporting. It aims to contextualize the delivery of fully integrated services where MHPSS is not a stand-alone programme operating outside other emergency responses according to IASC 2007 guidelines. Family counselling in emergency settings, and family communication techniques, are conducted for the project's committed workers consistently with the emerging of the supportive supervision. Services include:
MHPSS for people with mental health and psychosocial conditions as well as victims of domestic violence and GBV survivors at the community level through evidence-based interventions and best practice in the field of MHPSS
Vocational activities designed to reduce psychological distress and encourage well-being. These services are linked between mental health and other components, with capacity to integrate into general health training. With an additional vocational capacity building component, the project aims to support the next stages of health services extension by investing in and strengthening the necessary human resources throughout project timeline.
General health services, including family consultations, psychiatric assessments and strengthening the linkage between public health and mental health services by mhGAP-trained doctors
The approach of WHO's office in Syria focused on community strengthening and engagement through partnership with NGOs in health projects. This facilitated the success of the MHPSS services integration into the health project through establishing family centres.
The role of donors played an imperative role in establishing and sustaining the services provided in the centres
A benefit for the family well-being centers is that they are part of the referral pathways in the health system through various MHPSS partners in addition to being part of the preparedness and response plan to the emergencies across the country
Long wait for approvals from the local authorities
Sustainable funding has remained one of the main obstacles in sustaining the services provided in the centres
Challenges in accessibility for mobile teams in new catchment areas
It was not easy to collect and analyse the data of mhGAP trained doctors in the family centers as this was a new role for the doctors in the MHPSS system
The engagement of key NGOs in the health sector that provide integrated health services secures sustainability to the family well-being centers, given the effective communication and trust channels that these NGOs would have built. This enables the NGOs to continue the service delivery with WHO technical support and coordination.
The success of pilot family well-being centers encourages application in newly accessible areas which host a considerable number of IDPs and targets for returnees in addition to the already exhausted host communities. Within its comprehensive structure, family well-being centers will be of a persistent need that it met through the WHO and NGO partnership.
Main partners are NGOs working actively in health and mental health domain, to name few:
HAMA: Society Care and Kindness Act Association
Lattakia: Syrian Association for Children with Special Needs
Al-Hassakeh : NES
Al-Hol camp: Archbishopric of Syria Catholic Center Mar Assia and Al-Yamama
Dez: Syrian Pulse NGO
Aleppo : Syrian society for social development, GOPA and ASSLs
Department for International Development (DFID), United Kingdom
European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations – ECHO
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
Monitoring and evaluation on the technical level happened through the MHPSS M&E global frame work:
Supervisory field visits were conducted by MH experts that trained and supervised community workers, NGOs team across the country and WHO officers.
Main indicator monitored were the number of services provided at NGOs level, through the family well-being centres and the mobile teams.
On the project level:
A monthly 4W's was provided from each NGO to World Customs Organization NGO unit with detailed information about each activity in family center, with the support of health information systems and focal points across the country.
All detailed information was gathered and reflected on mental health KPIs which are WHO's key performance indicators per programs on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis at different levels and location across Syria i.e. North-east Syria; North-west Syria; Southern Syria.
Supporting the first time establishment of the family well-being centres including operational costs for 6 months ranges from USD$70,000-100,000.
The cost of supporting NGO's through only operational costs for 6 months ranges from USD $60,000-75,000.
Capacity building activities with supporting supervision is always taken from the MH programme fund as well as through multiple resources.
In 2019, approximately 89,507 MHPSS services were provided through family well-being centres, MHPSS mobile teams, and other integrated emergency response teams. These included:
55,477 MHPSS group sessions
9,069 MHPSS individual sessions
21,816 mental health awareness raising sessions
985 vocational training sessions
815 psychosocial support services for family units
252 sessions of low intensity psychological interventions and/or First Aid
175 specialised mental health consultations

A Conversation With Garrett Graff About Nuclear Warfare, America's Secret Bunkers, and How Elites Will Survive While the Public Dies
Garrett Graff is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is the author of numerous books including his most recent, Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government's Secret Plan to Save Itself--While the Rest of Us Die.
Graff's work has also appeared in such leading publications as WIRED, Esquire, and the New York Times. In addition, he has also been a guest on such major news networks as CNN, ABC, MSNBC, the BBC, and NPR.
In this very timely episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Garret and Chauncey discuss nuclear warfare and how America's leaders thought they would survive an attack by the Soviets, hidden bunkers such as Raven Rock, the beloved 1980s movie WarGames, and how a lost security badge led to a much bigger story about America's shadow government.
In this week's episode, Chauncey DeVega wonders what happens when hip-hop music and culture get old and also shares his choice for the movie most deserving of this year's Best Picture Oscar. And of course, Chauncey warns the American people (and the world) that although it is now known that Donald Trump tried to fire Robert Mueller back in June--and is now fully obstructing justice--in the final analysis nothing will change. Why? Because the Republican Party and Trump's fascist foot soldiers loathe democracy and only care about winning...and the Democratic Party is weak and has no courage.
