Sew Long Summer Blog Tour!
It was so refreshing to make something that was in beautiful rich colors for fall. Here in Southern California we rarely wear sleeves and jackets so a sleeve to the elbow should be just perfect.
With purple being my favorite color this was an easy pick for me. The pattern is the Buttercup Top/Dress from Rad Patterns and I loved it the first time I saw it! The sewing was pretty easy and I made it using both my serger and sewing machine.
I loved these big flowers in this print and was so excited to be able to get some of this beautiful double brushed poly from Sly Fox Fabrics. It is so very soft and just flows so nicely.
If you are looking for a wonderful dress for fall or even a top this pattern would be great! I loved sewing it and I have many planned in the future. Don't let the buttons scare you, the instructions are amazingly simple and very detailed. You can also do it with a non functioning placket as well.
Take a few minutes and check out the other blogs and all of the sewing adventures they had this fall. Are you ready to sew for fall? Do you have anything that you are doing that is new? I would love to see your sewing creations drop me a note in the comments!
Previous post: Palmer Candy Back To School Giveaway!
So hard to leave comments on your articles because most of them show squashed boxes. Any suggestions? It's also impossible to read other comments for me. Love the dress and wish I could sew. I'm terrible at it.
What a great looking dress. The match with both looks beautiful and the 3/4 sleeves are just perfect for Autumn.


F. Lee Bailey (right) with O.J. Simpson and Johnny Cochran at Simpson's trial. Photo courtesy of Britannica.
Summary: F. Lee Bailey, a once prominent criminal defense attorney, has now filed for bankruptcy.
F. Lee Bailey, once a member of O.J. Simpson's Dream Team, filed for bankruptcy. The once prominent criminal defense lawyer found himself in hot water with the government in the 1990s, and eventually the dispute contributed to his disbarment in 2001. The once wealthy lawyer told The Washington Post that his assets now only include a car worth less than two grand, a condo with a mortgage, and some personal property. On the debt side, he owes over $5 million to the IRS with interest growing yearly.
Bailey arguably was most famous for his work on the Simpson case, which had renewed public interest after FX's "The People v. O.J. Simpson" aired in February. (His character was played by Nathan Lane.) However, the attorney had a prominent career from the 1960s to the 1990s, and he represented high profile clients such as Patty Hearst and the Boston Strangler Albert DeSalvo. When he was working as an attorney, he said he collected significant.
But Bailey's life changed when he made a verbal agreement with the Justice Department to take over the assets of international drug smuggler Claude L. DuBoc. The government was not allowed to own stock, but they did not want the shares of Duboc's pharmaceutical company to be liquidated as it may destroy the business. Thus they gave the stocks to Bailey to watch, expecting the value to rise and to give the government a huge payday.
Bailey and his colleague assumed they would be paid by sales of the shares, as they did not receive direct compensation. However, the government said Bailey treated the shares like they were his and that he took for himself way more than his own expenses. Since there was no agreement in writing, the parties went to a federal judge, and in 1996, Bailey was jailed for 44 days until he could pay back the government for money they said he owed. Bailey attempted to countersue the government, but his effort failed. According to him, he had earned the government $50 million, only to be mistreated.
In 2001, Baily was disbarred because of his fight with the government, and the IRS subsequently hunted him down for unpaid taxes. They argued that he owed them money for his mishandling of the pharmaceutical stock. This is what led to his current $5 million debt, which Bailey said accrues 12% interest annually. He believes that his case has not been settled because he is a "celebrity," and the IRS does not want to look soft on celebrities.
Thus, the once prominent lawyer has now filed for Chapter 7 in Maine, and the bankruptcy allows him to liquidate his assets to repay his debts.
What do you think of Bailey's story? Let us know in the comments below.

Thanks to ABC News for the recent radio interview with Unit Coordinator of Tweed Coast Holiday Parks, Andrew Illingworth, about the opening of the revamped Kingscliff Holiday Park.
The redevelopment of Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Kingscliff Beach has been a huge project, one that's been in the works for over 10 years due to the amount of planning and community consultation that is involved in a significant development of this size and scale.
"It's a great achievement to have finally completed the task and yesterday to have welcomed our first guests at the revamped Kingscliff Holiday Park, which brought smiles to a lot of people's faces" says Andrew Illingworth.
"The revamped Kingscliff Holiday Park has been designed to meet the changing demands of the people holidaying on the Tweed Coast. They're much larger sites, their orientation is towards the ocean and we've also put in a number of luxury beachfront cabins that reflect the modern style of accommodation that people are looking for. The main difference with the new park is the size – the roads are wider and the sites are larger to accommodate for the larger touring vans that are on the roads today and to allow everyone to enjoy a bit more space. The number of sites has reduced to 61 and these new sites are twice the size of what they were previously and the road width has almost doubled to allow for easy movement within the park.
We aim to make it very affordable. If on a tourist sites kids under 10 are staying for free… we really look at making it family friendly and family orientated" Andrew adds. "It's simple pleasures in what we're offering. We don't offer a great deal of facilities in the park but what we offer is great locations and great value for money sites.
Occupancy is the key driver for us. More people in the park means more people in Kingscliff and more people making use of the facilities that are there. That is one of the drivers for Tweed Coast Holiday Parks – that we can add real value to the coastal towns of the Tweed.
We had a large number of sites occupied in the old park by permanent holiday vans and even though the van occupied the site 100% of time, it was only used around 12-14% of the time. What we're looking at now is 80-90% occupancy on our sites, of which people will be there, people will be moving into town for the duration of their stay.
On the morning of the opening there were lots of smiles and lots of congratulations amongst the community. Everyone is really relieved that the building process is over and that we are where we are now and it's a real asset to the town and the mood is really positive" Andrew concludes.

Bio: Eva Mae Fleming Scott was the first woman elected to the Senate of Virginia. Born in Amelia County, where she has lived nearly all of her life, she attended Longwood College and the school of pharmacy at the Medical College of Virginia. She owned and operated a pharmacy in Amelia, where she married a businessman and had five children.
In 1971 Scott won election to the House of Delegates as an independent, even though she was from a Republican family. She was reelected three times and served four consecutive two-year terms. Soon after winning the first election she and her family moved to Dinwiddie County because a changed legislative district boundary temporarily put her Amelia County house in a different district. A champion of limited government and free enterprise, she opposed abortion and the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution.
In 1979 Scott returned to Amelia County to run for a seat in the Senate of Virginia. Having gained the Republican nomination, she narrowly defeated the incumbent. Scott served one four-year term in the Senate and chose not to run for reelection in 1983 after major changes to the district boundaries made it more difficult for her to win. She thereafter worked in the family's lumber business.

The title for the new Christopher Nolan caped crusader epic is here, now it's time to start talking story!
Ever since THE DARK KNIGHT became a pop culture powerhouse of a comic book movie with over a billion box office dollars worldwide, fans have eagerly awaited the third installment in Christopher Nolan's unique Bat-vision. Now that we know the title – THE DARK KNIGHT RISES – the question is: Who will the bad guy(s) be? Which supporting characters will reprise their roles? And will the Boy Wonder ever rear his holier-than-thou head?
We've compiled a list of five likely co-stars for the cowled one, and five almost certain no-shows. We know how much our readers love to debate every aspect of pop culture, and when it comes to lists – no matter what the subject – everyone has their own opinion. Agree, Disagree. Take us to task! Praise us to the heavens! It's your Internet – we just work here.
This is probably a no-brainer, especially since they've incorporated some major character-building in the first two films and allowed us to see him slowly evolve into the ally he's destined to be.
As the more useful supporting staff member in Batman's covert crime-fighting staff – this film series' Alfred is practically irrelevant apart from spouting homilies – the only thing that will prevent Lucius from turning up again would be Freeman's willingness and schedule (unless they recast).
This is a British actor we're talking about – the man will come to your house and do a live commentary to any of his films for five dollars and a sandwich. Rest assured, Alfie will be there.
As recently as last week, rumors started to build that point to one of Batman's more fanciful foes as a possible adversary for the film. But could this transforming creature fit into Nolan's more realistic interpretation of Batman's reality? An inventive script could surely find a way.
We know they're casting a major female lead and let's face it, despite Batman's extensive rogues' gallery, there are really only a handful of enemies that deserve the big screen treatment and enjoy widespread audience recognition. It feels like it could be Selina's time up to bat again (see what I did there?).
Nolan would have to be either crazy or brilliantly inspired with some fresh, new way to bring the Boy Wonder back into the saga. But if anyone could do it, he probably could (if he does, our bet is he'll cast an actress to play the "Girl Wonder" in an homage to Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT RETURNS). Still, it's likely we won't be graced with the former acrobat's presence. Holy Omission!
He had his movie, and he even got a chance to come back for the opening scenes of the sequel. The fear-monger's day has passed.
Riddle me this: What classic Bat-villain has Nolan himself said will not be appearing in this film? Sorry, David Tennant.
Girlfriends never have much luck in Bat-franchises, and in Nolan's version of things they tend to completely change their physical appearance before blowing up. We doubt the intrepid reporter with a crush on the caped crusader will rear her head, but they are looking for "two" female leads and one of them is a love interest, so you do the math.
Impossible. Heath Ledger's performance in THE DARK KNIGHT was too defining, and no one would dare recast him after his untimely death. The Clown Prince of Crime will be MIA until the series is rebooted again.
AGREE? DISAGREE? Now it's your time to chime in below in our comments section! Let the war of words begin ….

A: Tk, as any GUI, needs to run a message loop.
please find and follow Tk/tkinter tutorials that show you the basics.
alternatively, don't use tkinter, but use cv2.imshow and cv2.waitKey (which spins the message loop).

Two distinguished cryptography pioneers, Whitfield Diffie, former Chief Security Officer of Sun Microsystems and Martin E. Hellman, Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, were awarded the 2015 ACM A.M. Turing Award for critical contributions to modern cryptography this week. Diffie and Hellman's invention of public-key cryptography and digital signatures revolutionized computer security and made Internet commerce possible.
Their seminal paper, "New Directions in Cryptography," Diffie and Hellman presented an algorithm that showed that asymmetric or public-key cryptography was possible. In Diffie and Hellman's invention, a public key, which is not secret and can be freely distributed, is used for encryption, while a private key, that need never leave the receiving device, is used for decryption. This asymmetric cryptosystem is designed in such a way that the calculation of the private key from the public key is not feasible computationally, even though one uniquely determines the other.

Hiker's Notebook
Common Names: American Bittersweet, false bittersweet, climbing bittersweet, shrubby bittersweet, Jacob's ladder, staff tree, fever-twitch, Roxbury waxwork, climbing orange-root; Asiatic Bittersweet, oriental bittersweet, round-leaved bittersweet.
Scientific Names: Celastrus scandens – The generic name is from the Greek kelastros which is the name of a Mediterranean evergreen tree, though there is no known association between the two plants; scando is the Latin infinitive verb form "to climb," referring here to the nature of the vine. Celastrus orbiculatus – orbiculatus is Latin for round, referring to the round leaves of Asiatic relative to American Bittersweet.
Potpourri: The many names of the American bittersweet attest to its distinctive appearance and to the wide range of its native habitat, from Quebec to Georgia in the east and from North Dakota to Oklahoma in the west. It is called "climbing" and "shrubby" because it is a vine that uses other plants for support, becoming so thickly ramose that it often looks like a small shrub. Jacob's ladder also refers to its vine-like disposition. It is called "staff tree" as it is the most recognizable member of the Staff Tree Family (Celastraceae) of some 400 species. "Fever-twitch" refers to its various medicinal properties, twitch meaning "to pull at with a quick, slight jerk." Roxbury is a residential area near Boston, the yellow color of the berries before they part to reveal the red, fleshy arils that contain the seeds appearing waxy to the local inhabitants. The yellow-orange coloration of its roots gives rise to the last moniker, the climbing orange-root.
The American bittersweet is being displaced by the invasive Asiatic bittersweet to the extent that in some areas the former is now considered a protected species. This is somewhat ironic in that the latter was intentionally introduced into North America in the 1860's as an ornamental plant. The success of C. orbiculatus is due to a variety of factors which conflate to produce a prodigious competitor. The fruits of the invasive species are a brighter red and more prolific than those of its rival so that birds are more likely to be attracted to them, thereby contributing to the wide dispersal of the seeds. The seeds thus spread have a higher statistical probability of germinating. The germinating sprouts are better at photosynthesis, as they absorb light across a broader range of the frequency spectrum. The Asiatic bittersweet also spreads by above ground stems called stolons, by underground stems called rhizomes, and by sending shoots up directly from the roots. It is no wonder that it is one of North America's most invasive plants.
American and Asiatic bittersweet can be distinguished by three subtle but readily recognizable features. In consonance with its species name, C. orbiculatus has more rounded leaves than C. scandens, whose leaves are ovate. In addition, the former has blunt thorns along the stem whereas the latter has none. The most distinguishable feature is the location of the berries. American bittersweet berries are at the ends of the vine twigs, while those of the Asiatic bittersweet are along the entire length of the vine. However, their close genetic association has likely led to some interbreeding so that the presence of both lateral and terminal berries on the same vine may indicate an intermediate combination, an Asian-American bittersweet.
Another name for the American bittersweet is the "false bittersweet," implying that there must be a "real bittersweet," both of which are presumably called bittersweet for a reason beyond bittersweet's association with the poetic connotation of irony. Solanum dulcamara, commonly known as bittersweet nightshade is a native of Europe that was also introduced to North America. It is the "true bittersweet." The species name is from the Latin dulcis meaning sweet and amarus meaning bitter, written in the Middle Ages as amaradulcis, or bittersweet. This was to describe the taste of the roots and stems that, if chewed, were first bitter and then sweet. The twigs of the bittersweet nightshade were known to have a bittersweet taste since they had been used in Europe since the 13th Century to treat a variety of ailments. Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish taxonomist, considered S. dulcamara as a superior remedy for all manner of inflammatory conditions. He thus gave the nightshade genus the name Solanum which is from the Latin solor which means to comfort or console. Ironically, the orange-red berries of the bittersweet nightshade are quite toxic, containing the alkaloid Solanine which is a narcotic that paralyzes the central nervous system that can lead to a convulsive death.
American bittersweet has orange-red berries, is a medicinal and has a bittersweet taste. So, with syllogistic logic, early colonists named this new bittersweet-like plant the "false bittersweet." The berries are also toxic, ingestion resulting in relatively severe though not fatal digestive convulsions. The bark, however, was made into a tea by Indians and used as a diuretic and to ease the pain of childbirth. The leaves were used to treat diarrhea and dysentery. Some tribes boiled the inner bark of the plant to remove the bitter taste and ate it, in some cases as refection of last resort. Early colonial herbalists learned of the attributes of C. scandens from the Indians and extended its uses to the treatment of chronic liver maladies and rheumatism and as the basis for an ointment for skin eruptions. It is considered by modern herbalists to be cardio-active.

Q: Change font in Hugo theme New to Hugo and css. Trying to change the fonts of the beautifulhugo theme based on these instruction:
See Chandra's Nov 17 post:
https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/font-selection-in-theme/8803/8
I have downloaded two fonts and placed them in static/fonts
Added the following to config.toml

Added this to static/css/custom_style.css
body {
font-family: 'Limelight', cursive;

And added this to layouts/partials/head_custom.html
 {{ if .Site.Params.googlefonts }}
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .Site.Params.googlefonts }}" type="text/css" media="all" />
 {{ end }}

yet, no changes are visible. Please advise as to what I am doing wrong.
Everything should be available here: https://github.com/ixodid198/blog

A: In config.toml, add
[params]
    custom_css = ["css/custom_style.css"]

Not sure if this works on all themes generally, but it works on the theme I'm using.

A: You say:

I have downloaded two fonts and placed them in static/fonts

Why would you do that if you are using google fonts?
Anyway, did you try removing http: form googlefonts = "http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Itim|Limelight"
You probably have something down the line in your code that is overwriting you font settings.
It would be helpfull if you could put your site somewhere online so that we can check what is going on.


Anyhow, for the first time, I think I've been found by a scammer – and no surprise, this is on the biggest ticket item – A bass guitar and amp.
I would take care of the shipping myself by sending my shipper to come for the pickup.
Let me have some pictures send to me by attachment and also the pickup address of the item.
The cashier check will come in excess funds and when the check is being cashed,you will send the remaining balance to the shipping company that will come for the pickup.
I would like you to take the posting off craigslist today.
First, the weird spacing of the email is a clue. No one writes that way. Second, who would reply back and not even mention WHAT the item is or what price was mentioned in the add? Did they want the amp or the bass or both? Isn't that important? Finally, they want the seller to handle the shippper's fee. That's just not right.
The offer to send what is probably supposed to look like more money than necessary using an insecure method of payment just throws red flags all over the place.
Sometimes I really wonder about humanity.

In South Sudan, the only thing oil really fuels is war
This is why the government must suspend the issuing of new oil contracts until peace is restored
Emma Vickers
Thursday 05 June 2014 15:34
South Sudanese fleeing an attack on the South Sudanese town of Rank, wait to register after arriving at a border gate in Joda, along the Sudanese border
The world is at a loss. Its newest country is five months into a brutal and intractable conflict that has triggered a humanitarian crisis so bad that the UN has warned it could be more serious than anything Africa has seen since the Ethiopian famine three decades ago.
Oil has fuelled South Sudan's war, drawing the most vicious fighting to the strategically critical oil states of Unity and Upper Nile, and culminating in the massacre of hundreds of citizens in their capitals.
A staggering half of the population – around six million people – are predicted to be either in flight, facing starvation, or facing death by the end of this year. But as well as having their present blown apart, South Sudanese citizens stand in danger of having their future sold.
It is time we start looking at long-term solutions. South Sudan is the world's most oil-dependent country. If its reserves are managed responsibly, the government could fund development - including its schools, its roads and its hospitals. Manage them badly and further conflict, corruption and crisis will be inevitable.
This is why Global Witness is calling on the government of South Sudan to suspend the issuing of any new oil contracts, and to call a halt to any ongoing negotiations until peace and the rule of law is restored.
We have worked for twenty years to stop natural resources being a source of corruption and conflict; a means for the enrichment of a few while the rest are left behind. We have seen time and again that governments in crisis, just emerging from conflict, or continuing to fight wars, do not get good deals for their timber, gold, diamonds or oil. From Liberia to Afghanistan, politicians have chosen quick cash over investing their wealth into long-term development. This is to the detriment of their citizens.
Even now, as the international community focuses on the lacklustre peace process, South Sudanese officials are telling foreign oil companies that it's business as usual when it comes to their oilfields. This is a problem. New oil money is more likely to be spent on armaments than on teachers' or nurses' salaries. New investors would need to employ armed security forces to operate – risking an influx of guns into a highly militarised region. And finally, from our experience, we know that chaos can attract cowboys. This is not the time to be making new deals.
The South Sudanese government and international donors have spent years developing robust, transparent and progressive legislation to govern their oil sector. But this could all be jeopardised if new contracts are signed at a time when the rule of law is weak. They may be signed in haste, but bad deals in the oil sector can impact communities for decade.
Our proposition is not unrealistic. Governments have suspended the sale of their logs, their precious stones or their oil when they felt either that their potential value, or their citizens, was under threat. Uganda put a halt to new oil licenses in 2007, Liberia issued a moratorium on private use logging permits in 2012 and South Sudan retracted its mining licenses at independence. We know a moment of consideration can prevent the squandering of a country's wealth and assure the security of its people.
The world has a responsibility to demand that South Sudan hits pause.

HomeChemistryBiochemistry Eighth Edition in pdf
Biochemistry Eighth Edition in pdf
Jack September 19, 2021 0
Free download Biochemistry (8th edition) written by Jeremy M. Berg, John L. Tymoczko, Gregory J. Gatto, Jr. and Lubert Stryer in PDF.
For several generations of students and teachers, Biochemistry has been an invaluable resource, presenting the concepts and details of molecular structure, metabolism, and laboratory techniques in a streamlined and engaging way. Biochemistry's success in helping students learn the subject for the first time is built on a number of hallmark features:
Clear writing and simple illustrations. The language of biochemistry is made as accessible as possible for students learning the subject for the first time.
To complement the straightforward language and organization of concepts in the text, figures illustrate a single concept at a time to help students see main points without the distraction of excess detail.
Physiological relevance. It has always been our goal to help students connect biochemistry to their own lives on a variety of scales.
Pathways and processes are presented in a physiological context so students can see how biochemistry works in the body and under different conditions, and Clinical Application sections in every chapter show students how the concepts they are studying impact human health.
The eighth edition includes a number of new Clinical Application sections based on recent discoveries in biochemistry and health.
JEREMY M. BERG received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Stanford (where he did research with Keith Hodgson and Lubert Stryer) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard with Richard Holm. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Carl Pabo in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins from 1986 to 1990. He then moved to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as Professor and Director of the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, where he remained until 2003.

'My heart was shattered': Social stigma hinders safe abortion in Thailand despite legalisation
Thailand has amended its law to allow abortion in the first trimester. But with the social stigma against it, termination of pregnancy remains challenging.

BANGKOK: When Lita* walked into a public hospital in April, she knew her decision to have an abortion was right and lawful.
Her pregnancy was early and unintended. Many responsibilities made her unable to raise a child and decide to end the pregnancy.
The 24-year-old, who was pursuing a master's degree while working full-time, had never done it before. The idea, she said, was daunting.
But after a lot of research and consideration, she summoned the courage to seek medical advice on how to have a safe abortion. Little did she know that the hospital visit would leave her with an emotional scar - one that would hurt and humiliate her for the rest of her life.
"The doctor said to me: 'Do you think this is a game? You lost and you just want to restart it by killing the baby?'" Lita recalled, saying she was shocked by the reaction.
"It was like a glass being smashed, breaking into pieces. My heart was shattered. I thought to myself, 'I shouldn't have come.'"
Abortion is a criminal offence in Thailand, punishable by up to six months in jail or a fine of no more than 10,000 Baht (US$304), or both.
In February, the fundamentals of abortion laws were amended for the first time in 64 years. This came after a ruling by the Constitutional Court that the criminalisation of abortion in Section 301 of the criminal code "excessively" affected women's right and liberty in their life and person.
The court also suggested that laws related to abortion be amended to conform with the current situation, where it said advanced medical technology can ensure safe and timely healthcare.

Under the new laws, induced abortion is legal under several circumstances. People are now exempted from criminal charges if they abort within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Medical practitioners are also provided with justifications to carry out abortions, such as if the pregnancy poses a threat to the mother's physical or mental health.
The medical procedure is legitimate too if the pregnancy is a result of a sexual offence or there is a risk that the infant will be affected by severe disability once born.
For those whose pregnancy exceeds 12 weeks but not yet 20 weeks, a medical examination and pregnancy options counselling is required before they can legally request an induced abortion.
Yet, abortion, even if it is now legal under certain circumstances, remains a great challenge for many people in Thailand as it carries a social stigma.
Back in April, an ultrasound scanning showed Lita was seven weeks pregnant. Although it was within the legitimate period, the doctor did not perform the abortion for her or refer her to another healthcare unit.
Instead, she was told the decision would haunt her for the rest of her life, and that "women should be mothers, have a family and raise children".
That day, Lita left the hospital feeling lost and hurt. "It was useless," she said. "They told me they had run out of the medicine. Isn't that awful?"
Thailand backs amendment allowing early-stage abortions
ABORTION, TABOO AND HEALTHCARE
Nine months have passed since Thailand amended its abortion laws. Still, legal access to abortion remains a big challenge.
Abortion is a taboo and divisive subject in Thai society. It is commonly considered a sin by people who disapprove of it. More often than not when someone chooses to have an abortion, the person is likely to be subject to judgment and condemnation.
This even extends to medical practitioners who professionally fulfil the basic healthcare needs for their patients.
"Medical professionals who provide abortion care face alienation and constant pressure," said Dr Rueangkit Sirikanjanakul from the Thai Referral System for Safe Abortion (RSA).
He cited incidents where doctors came under fierce criticisms from their colleagues for performing abortions, while nurses refused to cooperate in the procedure and ignored their instructions.
"This is still a big problem we continue to face," he told CNA.
For Dr Rueangkit, safe abortion is a basic healthcare service that can significantly reduce risks of maternal deaths and complications caused by illegal abortion. However, the stigma and criminalisation have continued to push many people towards underground services in order to terminate their pregnancies.

In 2014, safe abortion was made relatively more accessible when the Health Ministry established RSA.
It is a voluntary network of doctors and interdisciplinary healthcare professionals from across Thailand who coordinate to care for people with unintended pregnancies, provide them with safe abortion services and promote birth control. Their operations follow the rule of law and regulations set up by the Medical Council of Thailand.
Currently, RSA has more than 800 members at 105 service units. They are located in 38 of the country's 77 provinces, ranging from private clinics to public hospitals.
Most of them use medication to terminate early pregnancy. Only four units offer abortion services for pregnancy that exceeds 12 weeks.
Citing data from the National Health Security Office, Dr Rueangkit said the referral system has significantly reduced maternal deaths and complications over the past years.
Between 2005 and 2015, he explained, unsafe abortion resulted in more than 30,000 complications and 30 deaths annually. "But since RSA started working, the number of deaths has dropped below 20 and the complications have also gone down by 10,000," he told CNA.
For Dr Rueangkit, the number of maternal deaths from unsafe abortion can one day become zero. But for that to happen, he said a healthcare system must be properly set up to accommodate people with unintended pregnancies and help them access safe abortion efficiently.
LACK OF AWARENESS ON LEGAL ABORTION
People in Thailand can access safe abortion care through different channels. The main one is the 1663 hotline, which provides pregnancy options counselling and referral services every day from 9am to 9pm.
Other care providers include government-run One Stop Crisis Centers and civil society groups such as RSA, Tamtang and Choices Network Thailand, which support safe abortion through legal means.

Still, public awareness of their existence or how to access abortion care legally remains limited, even after the partial legalisation in February.
"It's a shame," said Dr Rueangkit. "Has anyone put out PR about the new laws to inform every Thai woman? The government hasn't done it."
A lack of dissemination of information about legal abortion has far-reaching impact and needs to be addressed by the government, according to Dr Rueangkit.
People who are unaware of their rights to safe abortion tend to avoid medical counselling, he said, because they fear the social stigma and condemnation. As a result, they are likely to resort to illegal abortion services or buying medication online and risking their lives.
Data from World Health Organization (WHO) between 2015 and 2019 showed 73.3 million induced abortions took place globally each year. Among these, one out of three were carried out in the least safe or dangerous conditions, for example, by untrained persons using dangerous and invasive methods.
In fact, "over half of all estimated unsafe abortions globally were in Asia", according to WHO.
IF THE SOCIETY OPENS ITS MIND
Thailand's healthcare system is ranked among the best in the world. This year, it came 13th in the Health Care Index by CEOWORLD magazine, which ranks 89 countries according to the overall quality of the healthcare system.
In Southeast Asia, Thailand emerged at the top, followed by Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. The ranking analysed factors such as healthcare infrastructure, competencies of healthcare professionals and medicine availability.

But when it comes to abortion care, these factors alone cannot change the situation in the country.
"There is an issue of attitude from social, religious and cultural aspects. That's all. We only have to adjust this in order to accommodate the legal transition," said Dr Peerayoot Sanugul, director of the Reproductive Health Bureau at the Health Ministry.
"If the society opens its mind and accepts abortion as a method of treatment," he added, "I believe it will enable people who want to help to step in and do so without feeling nervous."
According to Dr Peerayoot, the Health Ministry is working to systematise legal abortion care nationwide by incorporating its personnel and service units in the process. Training is also organised to inform healthcare workers of an up-to-date legal framework.
"As for newcomers who will be working with us, they will have to complete a three-day course designed to equip them with skills and knowledge. The process will make them ready to provide services correctly and properly. We will mobilise the training within this year," Dr Peerayoot told CNA.
However, he maintained it is not compulsory for healthcare professionals to carry out abortions.
"If they don't agree to do it, we simply ask for a referral. That's our only concern. It's better than refusing to listen or give advice, which can result in patients having to buy medication for self-abortion or visiting uncertified doctors and risking complications and death."
"NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE AN ABORTION"
From 2017 to September 2021, some 10,400 people received abortion services from RSA partners alone.
Data from the network showed the numbers have been on the rise - from 934 in 2017 to 2,859 in 2020.
According to Dr Rueangkit, economic problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in an increase in abortions. This year, RSA already handled 2,520 cases of abortion between January and September.

Although lawmakers have decriminalised abortion under certain conditions, there is no guarantee that every person seeking legal abortion care from medical practitioners will receive it without delay.
This is despite the Medical Council of Thailand's regulation for abortion procedures, which stipulates that in case of referral, it should be done "without delay".
"The phrase 'without delay' is not good enough because it lacks a timeframe," said Dr Kritaya Archavanitkul, a coordinator of Choices Network Thailand.
"We don't know how many days that is and all the while, many hospitals still try to set up a committee to make a decision. This delays the process."
Choices Network Thailand is an advocacy network. Formed in 2007, it currently works with more than 80 organisations and groups to help provide people with unintended pregnancies with more choices and services they deserve.
Despite room for improvement, safe abortion advocacy groups welcome the amended laws which they believe have more pros than cons.
Besides preventing unnecessary injuries and maternal deaths, Dr Kritaya said the legal amendments can also lead to better healthcare services and empower people to seek proper abortion care.
At the same time, she added, increased public awareness can open the door to more discussions about sex education and access to birth control, which could eventually help reduce unintended pregnancies in Thailand.
"This will only help our work run more smoothly but some people don't get it. They think the new laws will lead to promiscuity, for instance," she told CNA.
"Nobody wants to have an abortion. Nobody intends to get pregnant so they can abort."
While obstacles remain in the path of safe abortion, advocates in Thailand are hopeful the future will be brighter for those who seek it. Many groups continue working closely with the government to ensure that equality in the healthcare system is extended to people with unintended pregnancies.
"We should not have to neglect these women simply because we feel what they think is bad. We have to accept the fact that there are problems in this world and that unintended pregnancy is just one of the problems that threaten humans. It's not a problem we can never accept," Dr Rueangkit said.
For Lita, after leaving the hospital in April, she called the 1663 hotline to consult about abortion. She submitted the ultrasound scanning to prove she was seven weeks pregnant and was referred to a doctor who proceeded to help her terminate the pregnancy with medication.
"I made an informed decision," Lita said. "I never regretted it."

Posted 12 July 2016 Author Ian Payn Category Obituary
Brian Jackson RIP
We are sad to report the recent death of Brian Jackson, well‑known London bridge host and sometime player at the Young Chelsea. Club member Ian Payn has written the following appreciation of Brian's life.
♣ ♦ ♥ ♠
If the name Brian Jackson is familiar to members of the Young Chelsea, it is likely that it is as the writer of occasional articles about bridge‑playing holidays he took abroad, notably in Juan‑les‑Pins. He was not a high‑profile player, although he certainly had the ability to become well‑known on a wider stage, but he made his living from the game, gracing most London Rubber Bridge Clubs either as a host or, post‑retirement, as a player.
Most people who host at Rubber Clubs (of which there used to be many more than there are now) are either on their way somewhere, or on the way back from somewhere. They are either keen and youthful, perhaps just out of university and unable to find a regular job, or perhaps semi‑retired or redundant and filling the hours doing something they like and (hopefully) generating a bit of cash. Brian Jackson defied this categorisation—he was a professional host: it was what he did, and he did it better than most, if not all.
If Brian came up to you with a hand scrawled on a piece of paper, it wasn't, like 99% of the bridge population, a prompt for a gloat. It was always instructive—he was always on the lookout for hands that actually had a point. He wasn't a result merchant—the story would end either with "I managed to wake up just in time and spot that" or "I came a cropper on that one". He wasn't interested in proving how clever he was.
Unlike most hosts he wasn't over‑endowed with ego. He never lectured a partner, and famously claimed that after any hand there were only two things that a host should say. They were either "Well done, partner" or "Bad luck, partner". Anything else he viewed as unprofessional. This, of course, paid practical dividends as well. Even the club duffer knows when he's made a mess of things (he may not understand why, mind you) and the important thing is to get him on to the next hand without him worrying about a hand that's already history.
Growing up during the Blitz ("After that, a rubber with R***** A**** was pretty much plain sailing", he once said), South Londoner Brian went through grammar school and studied Chemistry at college. He and the test tube soon fell out, and he left in order to pursue a life outside the world of science. National Service intervened, and he subsidised his meagre RAF pay with regular trips to the Mayfair Bridge Studio for the big 6d game, capitalising on the skill he'd picked up when he should have been learning the Periodic Table.
After National Service he fell among good bridge players, and soon decided that the world of commerce (having sampled the insurance and oil industries) was not for him. After a short spell subbing for Irving Rose as host at Crockfords he took the job up full‑time, first at Curzon House, then at Green Street, Mayfair, where he enjoyed a long residency. It was at Green Street that he honed his trade, and after a brief spell at the London School of Bridge in the King's Road, where he delighted in playing in a low‑stake game because he enjoyed the company, he moved to the higher stake club at St. James' moving to TGR's when that club opened (essentially St. James' moved a mile up the road).
Brian liked a drink, he liked a day at the races and he liked walking across London—well, more accurately, he despised the London Underground, so made a virtue out of a necessity. Happily his route home would take him through Berwick Street market, where he carefully chose supplies for meals at his Marylebone flat. He was, perhaps, a frugal man, but mainly with himself—you'd never accuse him of not getting his round in. He did like Bridge Tournaments in warm, amenable places, so took busman's holidays there (Deauville, Las Palmas, Monte Carlo, Torquay). He wasn't monomaniacal, however. He was quite capable of holding his own conversationally on non‑bridge matters.
Perhaps since his retirement—and the reduction in number of Rubber Bridge Clubs—his renown has faded slightly in recent years, but to those who worked with him in the hosting trade, in his prime he was primus inter pares, the Bridge Host's Bridge Host. An impossible act to follow.
