Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program. The TEACH Program provides grants to students who intend to teach full time for at least four years in high-need subject areas at a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families.
Undergraduate study: maximum of $4,000 per year for the first baccalaureate to a maximum of $16,000.
Graduate study: maximum of $4,000 per year for a master's degree to a maximum of $8,000.
*Please note that due to Federal Sequestration, new TEACH award amounts will be reduced by 5.70%. For example, if you were eligible for $4,000 for the year, you will now receive $3,772. This reduction is in place until October 1, 2022, at which time it is subject to change.
In exchange for receiving a TEACH Grant, you must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students (see below for more information on high-need fields and schools serving low-income students).

Singapore's unemployment rates continue to improve, but remain above pre-COVID levels: Q3 labour report
Written by Arina Sofiah
While the report noted that Singapore's overall labour market performed better in 3Q 2021 compared to the previous quarter, recovery still remains uneven across sectors.
Singapore's Ministry of Manpower has recently released its Labour Market Report for Q3 2021.
While Singapore's overall labour market performed better in 3Q 2021 compared to the previous quarter, recovery still remains uneven across sectors. The report has identified several key finding:
Resident employment grew by 19,100, while non-resident employment fell (-21,500)
Total employment experienced a significantly smaller decline of -2,400 in 3Q 20211 in comparison to the previous quarter's decline of -16,300. This was particularly due to a strong growth in resident employment of 19,100. However, non-resident employment fell (-21,500) at a pace similar to 2Q 2021.
Diving deeper, the report found that the growth in resident employment was led by outward-oriented sectors of oinformation & communications, professional services, and financial services; as well as domestically-oriented sectors of administrative & support services and health & social services.
However, resident employment growth in consumer and tourism-related sectors such as food & beverage services, arts, entertainment & recreation, accommodation, and retail trade continued to trail behind the other sectors. Ongoing border restrictions contributed to the continued contraction of non-resident employment across most industries.
Unemployment rates continued to improve, but remain above pre-COVID levels
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rates declined further from August to September 2021: overall unemployment dropped by -0.1%-point to 2.6%. Similarly, the resident unemployment rate declined by -0.1%-point as well, reaching 3.5%. Citizen unemployment rate remained the highest at 3.7% even after a -0.1%-point drop.
However, the resident long-term unemployment rate increased to 1.2% in September 2021 from 0.9% in June2.
The latest October 2021 data shows continued improvement in unemployment rates.
The full report also covers long-term unemployment by gender, age and highest qualification attained amongst various other findings
Retrenchments declined, while the six-month re-entry rate among retrenched residents improved
The number of retrenchments declined from 2,340, or 1.3 retrenched per 1,000 employees, to 1,900 - 1.1. The six-month re-entry rate among retrenched residents improved by 2% in 3Q 2021 from 64% to 66%, back to the rate seen in 1Q 2021.
The report observed that there were fewer employees who were placed on short work-week or temporary layoff in 3Q 2021 (4,060) compared to 2Q (5,580), though the number remained above pre-pandemic levels. Particularly, there was a notable decrease in air transport & supporting services, as firms started to ramp up capacity in anticipation of some resumption in air travel. he full report further covered resident retrenchment by occupation, educational attainment, age and gender, and long-term unemployment by gender, age and highest qualification attained amongst various other findings.
The full report provides further insights on resident retrenchment by occupation, educational attainment, age and gender.
Job vacancies rose amidst continued border restrictions on foreign labour inflow
The number of job vacancies2 increased further increased to 98,700 in September 2021 from from 92,100 in June 2021. Despite this, the pace of increase has slowed as a whole. Together with the decline in unemployed persons, the ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons trended higher. There were 209 job vacancies for every 100 unemployed persons in September 2021 - up from 163 the previous quarter.
The increase in job vacancies should be observed in the context of border restrictions on the inflow of foreign labour, which has led to total employment declining by 173,100 since December 2019, notwithstanding strong resident employment growth. In particular, sectors which have seen substantial decreases in Work Permit holders, namely Manufacturing, Construction, Food & Beverage Services, and Administrative & Support Services, accounted for 38% of all job vacancies.
The report expects the number of job vacancies, and the ratio of job vacancies to unemployed persons, to remain high until border restrictions are lifted.
At the same time, there was sustained demand in growth sectors such as Professional Services, Financial Services, Information & Communications, and Health & Social Services, where resident employment also increased in tandem. The report noted that in-demand occupations include Software, Web & Multimedia Developers, Systems Analysts, Commercial & Marketing Sales Executives, Accountants, and Nurses.
The report concludes that, alongside the projected economic growth, the labour market is expected to continue on its recovery trajectory for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022, but unevenly across sectors. The labour market will also become tighter as border restrictions continue to constrain manpower supply from overseas. However, the Government and our tripartite partners will continue to support employers to accelerate the pace of transformation, become more manpower-lean and strengthen their local workforce.
MOM further encouraged employers with unfilled vacancies to consider a wider pool of jobseekers, including the unemployed, those from different sectors, and mature workers.
In a Facebook post analysing the report, Patrick Tay, NTUC's Assistant Secretary-General commented: "With positive economic figures for 2021 forecasted as well as a gradual and incremental recovery of deeply affected sectors supported by strong showing of several major sectors such as the modern services sector (financial, ICT and professional services) as well as bright sparks like supply chain/logistics/shipping, I expect a continued positive outlook going into 2022 from labour market and economic perspectives."
NTUC's Assistant Secretary-General Desmond Choo added: "Though the overall picture is hopeful, recovery continues to be uneven and would be affected by downside risks such as the new Omicron Covid-19 variant and continued constraints in manpower supply from overseas. The economic climate remains relatively uncertain in the near term and more policy support might be needed if the global economy takes a hit from the Omicron variant."

The Minnesota Wild have not lived up to the expectations this season as they come out of the All Star break with a record of 20-20-6. The Wild are arguably the league's most disappointing team considering the talent they have, but it's been a nightmare so far for this team as they have yet to figure out why they are playing so poorly.
According to TicketIQ, the most expensive game for the Wild on their remaining home schedule is a February 7 meeting with the Colorado Avalanche at the Xcel Energy Center. Avalanche vs Wild tickets have a current average price of $204.68 on the secondary market, a 46.8% premium above the home average for the Wild. The least expensive ticket to get into this game is $100.
Wild tickets are not in high demand right now, so there are many affordable upcoming games to attend. The least expensive game on the Wild home schedule is a March 3 meeting with the Ottawa Senators. Wild vs Senators tickets for this matchup have a current secondary market average price of $105.42, 24.3% below the home average. The get-in price to this game is $37.
Minnesota is not completely out of it yet with the many games remaining in the season. They're now seven points behind the eighth spot in the Western Conference and will need to figure things out soon or their season will end early.

The Hollywood Ripper, Guilty
On August 14th, 1993, a teenage girl was found stabbed to death on her own doorstep in Cook County, Illinois.
Seventeen year old Tricia Pacaccio was found by her father as he left the house that morning on his way out to work. As he opened the door, coffee in hand, he was met with a sight no father should ever have to see- his daughter had been stabbed to death in a frenzy and her lifeless body was slumped over the steps. Her shirt was saturated with blood and it looked as though she had just been about to put her key in the door when an unknown assailant mercilessly attacked her where she stood. She had been out to a party that night with her friends and returned home at around 1AM. Her father attempted to revive her but tragically, it was much too late.
Officers working the case would later admit that they did not secure and process the scene to the best of their abilities at the time, for example, a single swab was used to collect potential DNA from several areas of the victim's body and not enough care was taken to properly and carefully collect and preserve the findings.
At the time of the murder a young man named Michael Gargiulo lived next door with his family. He began gifting the slain teen's parents with flowers, clothing and gift cards for meals so the two could out to dinner, a fact that the Pacaccio family found strange as they were not close to Michael, nor had he ever been friends with Tricia.
He was the prime suspect in the case until he pointed the finger of blame in the direction of a friend who lived in the neighborhood. He told police that not long after the murder this friend contacted him to ask for assistance in concealing evidence- a bag that he believed contained the murder weapon, which he hinted was a knife. Police shifted their attention from Gargiulo for a while and concentrated on their new suspect while Gargiulo left town and headed straight for L.A.
Like many people who move to Hollywood, Gargiulo wanted to try his hand at acting. He boxed as a hobby and managed to get a role in an amateur film playing the role of a boxer in 1999 but nothing more came of it and he supported himself working as a general handyman thereafter.
Ashley Ellerin was another young adult who was attracted by the Hollywood lights. She was a fashion student who relocated to Hollywood from a small town in Northern California to enroll at the Fashion Institute in L.A. She had aspirations to work in the fashion industry and enjoyed socializing and partying in her free time. She found herself a close group of friends with whom she shared a house. On the night of February 1st, 2001, Ellerin was scheduled to get picked up by actor Ashton Kutcher as they had planned to attend a Grammy party together that evening. At 10:45PM Kutcher showed up to Ellerin's residence and knocked on the door but the young woman neglected to answer. He cupped his hands around his face to look into the window and saw what he originally believed to be a large pool of spilled red wine. After Ashely failed to answer the door the young actor left and proceeded to go to the party without her, likely wondering why she had changed her mind or if she had forgotten all about it.
The next day one of Miss Ellerin's friends made a traumatizing discovery when she entered the house. It was there, strewn across the steps near the bathroom that she found Ashley Ellerin encircled in a pool of her own blood, her clothes heavily saturated in red, her skin cold and blue. It was obvious on sight that she had been stabbed in a complete frenzy, much like the Cook County victim several years earlier. Ellerin had been stabbed over 47 times. Since there was no sign of forced entry to the residence police theorized that her killer was either someone she knew or someone she had given access to the home by her own volition.
Her friends were devastated and racked their brains to think of anyone who would want to so violently attack and murder such a beautiful, vibrant and well-liked girl. One person quickly came to mind- a strange and awkward repairman who lived in the area and seemed to be fixated on the young fashion student.
His name was Michael Gargiulo.
One friend recalled an incident where he noticed Gargiulo sitting outside of the house in his car. He seemed to be surveying or watching the property during the early hours of the morning. The following day when confronted about his strange and unnerving behavior Gargiulo reportedly responded with: "My best friends girlfriend was murdered back in Chicago so I can't go home because the FBI are waiting there to take some samples from me". He allegedly produced a knife during this conversation just to show he had one.
Gargiulo was asked to leave and never return, but he did return one final time- to put a violent end to Ashley Ellerin.
By 2005 Michael Gargiulo was living in the El Monte area in L.A.
It was there on December 1st that a young mother of four named Maria Bruno was stabbed to death as she slept in her bed. She had recently split from her husband and had moved into a small apartment alone when tragedy struck. And the location of her apartment? Right opposite Michael Gargiulo's place, so close in fact, that he could probaly look out of his window and watch the 32 year old mother go about her daily life.
There was evidence of a break-in at the scene in the form of a screen that had been ripped from a window in order to gain entry to the apartment. A knife had been casually picked up from the kitchen as the attacker passed through to unlock the front door, making sure they had an easy exit. The attack on the sleeping victim was so violent and excessive that investigators working the case would never forget it. The bed sheets were soaked in red, and just like the others, Bruno had been stabbed over and over and over again in crazed attack. There was also evidence of post mortem mutilation. Police found a blue boot cover in the parking lot that they believed the killer dropped as they fled. They kept it as evidence in the hope that it would aid them in a future arrest.
The murders would end in Santa Monica, California in 2008 when a young woman named Michelle Murphy fought off an attacker who began stabbing her as she slept in her bed. She had retired to her room 20 minutes before midnight when she was suddenly awoken by a series of sharp pains across her arms and chest. She opened her eyes in shock to see a man above her, sinking a knife into her upper torso. She reached out to defend herself only to be stabbed in the arms and hands. In a final desperate attempt to survive she used her legs to kick her attacker and he fled, saying "I'm sorry" as he left.
Murphy survived the attack and relayed the traumatizing ordeal to the police. They followed a trail of blood that lead outside and realized there was another DNA profile that did not belong to the victim. Officers ran the DNA and found a match: Michael Gargiulo. From there they liaised with other states and counties and began connecting the dots and linking the Gargiulo to his previous crimes. The matching blue boot cover to the one found at the scene of Bruno's death was found in the apartment Gargiulo rented.
Gargiulo, who is now 43 years old and more commonly known by his media moniker, "The Hollywood ripper", was recently found guilty of first degree murder for the slaying of Ashley Ellerin and is looking at the death penalty
Another trial awaits Gargiulo back in Cook County for the murder of Tricia Pacaccio in 1993.

Very nice gentleman, work done well. Would recommend him.


will rise next to and reflect all other flags, to convey a state of emergency, hope and tolerance.
Since in history the world is subdued in constant shifts of diasporas, the flag reflects all flags of all nations, pointing to a future in which we may find ourselves in a position to look for shelter, protection and safety.
The color gold usually has a positive connotation and, amongst other things, generally calls to mind prosperity, triumph and a good life, which is poignantly reflected in the thermal blankets refugees are offered upon arrival in the EU.
Reflecting vividly in sunlight, the gold flag will commemorate and honor the hardship of journeys made by refugees. It will both be a danger signal and a warning light. A beacon, which symbolizes hope, an implication to re-consider shared historical experiences and the idea of a universal humanity.
Possible location: the middle flagpole, between the EU and German national flag outside the Reichstag parliament building, Berlin. The middle flagpole is usually not in use, except to address important national or international matters.
The piano is German culture, the heritage of Beethoven, sealed inside felt with an ambulance sign - damaged, wounded, recuperating. The felt wrapping the piano, according to Beuys, was meant to heal it, to save it.
"... the sound of the piano is trapped. The piano is an instrument to produce sound, when not in use is silent but still has sound potential. When no sound is possible the piano is condemned to silence. The relationship to the human position is the red crosses of emergency. If we remain silent, we fail to make the next evolution step. Such an object is intended as a stimulus for discussion and in no way is to be taken as an aesthetic product. It is vital that human kind should slowly learn to speak. Everything must be expressed, negatives even those beyond language."
A series of 150 maps that the Italian-born Alighiero e Boetti made over a period of 20 years during which he traveled, lived, and worked with artisans in Kabul, Afghanistan, and Peshawar, Pakistan. He was interested in investigating how the boundaries between countries form and change over time. Each map in the series is different from the others, representing national boundaries as they existed at the time the map was made. By fitting the colors and patterns of each country's flag within its borders, Boetti visualizes the patterns of territorial ownership around the globe.
Boetti commissioned Afghani women to make his designs into embroidered maps. Boetti acknowledged his collaborative effort with Afghani weavers in the text bordering the map—in Italian and Farsi, a language spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the region. The Farsi texts are excerpts from a classical poem extolling the power of knowledge and the idea of a universal humanity.

Sentenced to six years for raping a minor
The accused will not be able to approach her for seven years and must compensate her with 10,000 euros
The events occurred in an abandoned house in the municipality on June 22, 2017
The young man assures that the sexual relations they had were consensual
The Guipúzcoa Court has sentenced to six years in prison to young man accused of raping a minor under 16 in the town of Zarautz, during the San Pelayo festivities of 2017. In addition to the prison sentence for a crime of sexual assault, the accused You will not be able to approach or communicate with the victim for seven years and will have to compensate her with 10,000 euros for damages suffered.
During the trial for these events, the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution (exercised by the family of the injured party) requested nine years of imprisonment for the accused. The events took place at dawn on June 22 of that year, in an abandoned house in the coastal municipality to which both young people went after meeting in the bar area.
The victim, who testified at the hearing by internal videoconference from a unit attached to the courtroom so as not to maintain visual contact with the aggressor, explained that at that time he was staying at the house of a friend, whom She had come together with other colleagues from outside the Basque Country to enjoy the festivities for several days.
The young woman recalled that that night all of them had dinner in the apartment, where they were drinking before going out to party around 2:30 a.m. A few hours later, around 5:00 am, he met the defendant in a bar where they drank a drink and continued to alternate, until at one point the young man told him that they were going to a "different" place. although she was "not very aware of what was happening" due to the alcohol she had consumed and "it was not right" to "understand" what was happening, which is why she does not have a "clear memory" of how she got to the abandoned house.
The girl reported that, upon entering the house, she saw another young man downstairs, after which the accused and she went to another floor where the attacker undressed her from the waist down, sat her on a "parapet", the He grabbed her arms and raped her, without her being able to move or defend herself even though she "cried" and screamed that she "didn't want to".
At the trial, the accused, that when the events occurred he was 18 years old, stated that sexual relations were consensual. According to his account, that night he met the girl in a disco, where they were talking, kissing and having a few drinks as "people who have liked each other."
About 7:30 am, he proposed to the young woman to go to a place to "be intimate" and "be more comfortable" to which she answered affirmatively, as she did when, on the way to the place, she asked if she wanted to have sex full sex.
At the hearing, the defendant recalled having said "clearly" to the girl that she had a condom and that she replied that there was "no problem", so they went to an abandoned factory in the town after overcoming the numerous obstacles and fences that was on the road.
Once in the building, they discovered that an acquaintance of the defendant was spending the night in the bed on the ground floor in which they planned to maintain relations, so, after greeting him, they went upstairs, where they both began to kiss, each one took off their own pants and, as the boy related, they practiced consensual oral sex.
Next, he put on a condom and tried to penetrate her three times, even with "help" from the victim, but as it "hurt" they left him "immediately", according to the defendant's version.

Do I have internal or skin parasites?
I have been dealing with this problem for 8 months now. My symptoms started as an itchy rash on trunk of body (which husband also contracted).
I thought it was scabies and begged my Dr. to give us permethrin lotion which, I applied 2x.
The rash eventually cleared up and my husband now only has an itch occasionally, but I developed numbness in my left palm which then eventually moved up my arm, then other arm, then legs.
I also have "moving, crawling and pin-prick sensations" indigestion, headaches, and now I am waking up some nights and I feel cold internally (temp is 96.2 when I take it) but yet flushed on the outside.
I have bowel problems (constipation) heartburn, buzzing in my ears, a lump feeling in my throat and just a lot of anxiety.
My Dr. has done blood work for any antigens or parasites and also stool test for parasites, which all came back OK.
Now he is sending me to a neurologist for a nerve conduction study (due to numbness).
I had bladder/bowel rectocele surgery 9 months ago. Could this have a connection?
Also, another possibility is, we have well water that we had tested and was found to have E-coli and total Coliform present.
We no longer drink the water and are in the process of bleaching the well, but we do still take showers in it.
Some days I feel like it's gone, but then the next day or two - it's back!! Any thoughts?
If I'm remembering correctly, I believe we may have chatted some time ago about your question of internal or skin parasites.
ask him/her if the numbness can be a side effect from your medications. That may answer the question of that symptom if nothing else.
The other symptoms you describe definitely sound like symptoms of intestinal parasites. Particularly since you know you've had contaminated water, it's very likely.
Even though you don't drink the water any more, you can still breathe in the bacteria through the steam of a hot shower or bath. Some toxins are even very easily absorbed through the skin.
Did you ever try any of the natural remedies I recommended to you earlier? I still think they are your best option for trying to find relief and eliminating the problem.
In case you don't remember our previous discussion, here's what I suggested.
For the rash/skin treatment, try some organic apple cider vinegar. Just apply it straight, or put some (1-2 cups) in your bath water and have a soak.
Para 90 - antiparasitic herbs in capsule form to kill internal or skin parasites.
Herbal Fiberblend - to clean out your digestive tract and eliminate dead and dying parasites as quickly as possible. Will also help to remove other toxins and old built up waste matter.
The Garden Trio - whole food supplement powders to boost your nutritional take and give your body more building blocks for healthy cells and healing.
You can order any or all of those products here at the lowest prices available.
I'm sincerely hoping this will be of some genuine help to you Carol in getting rid of any internal or skin parasites and that you get to feeling better soon.
I know how discouraging it can be to be unwell for long periods of time. It's a drain, not only on your body, but on your spirit, too.
Comments for Internal or Skin Parasites?
I came back from bali very sick and worked out it is parasites.
Now I am on a program to eliminate them (herbally)and having just read your comments, I didn't realise parasites are contagious.
Now I will put my husband on to herbal medicine (from my naturapath).
cheers and God bless you, Moira (australia).

#375 - Cancer Down On The Farm, 02-Feb-1994
The U.S. is losing its war on cancer, according to a long article in
the January, 1994 SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.[1] The basic measure of success
or failure -- the age-adjusted cancer death rate -- continues to climb
slowly year after year, despite $25 billion spent to find a cure since
1971 when Richard Nixon declared a national "war on cancer."
The cancer establishment--the largely male, largely white and largely
elderly group of researchers who act as gatekeepers for cancer research
dollars--try to put a good face on it. They point to reductions in
deaths from childhood cancers, reductions in cancer deaths among young
adults, and reductions in deaths from some specific cancers. Still the
fact remains that the total age-adjusted death rate for cancer
continues to climb year after year. The rise in the cancer death rate
is particularly steep among people 65 and over.
The cancer establishment tends to blame cancer on individual
lifestyles, such as diets high in fat and low in fiber. There is one
major problem with this argument. Heart disease is known to be
associated with cigarette smoking, heavy use of alcohol, and diets high
in fat and low in fiber and low in antioxidants [beta-carotene, vitamin
E and selenium, for example]. In several countries heart disease rates
are decreasing. In the U.S., heart disease is down 40% from its peak in
the 1960s. It therefore seems unlikely that recent increases in cancer
are caused by the same factors that cause heart disease.
Now a group of younger cancer researchers is advocating a return to the
fundamental principles of public health developed during the 19th
century, based on prevention. Much of cancer is thought to be
preventable because rates of occurrence and death vary substantially
from one population to another. Environmental factors are likely to
account for much of this variation.
Between 1969 and 1986, several cancers increased significantly among
persons aged 64 to 84 in six industrial countries.[2] Multiple myeloma
[cancer that starts in the bone marrow and spreads to various bones,
especially the skull], melanoma of the skin, and cancers of the
prostate, bladder, brain, lung and breast are increasing in the general
population of several industrial countries. Except in the case of lung
cancer, these increases remain largely unexplained.
In the last two years, cancer prevention researchers have focused new
attention on environmental chemicals. Devra Lee Davis and others have
developed a hypothesis about the cause of breast cancer in women. For a
long time researchers have known that exposure to estrogen (the female
hormone) increases a woman's risk of breast cancer. Now Davis has shown
that many fat-soluble industrial chemicals, widely distributed in the
environment, mimic or amplify the biological effects of estrogen.[3]
[See RHWN #369.] The National Cancer Institute is now planning to
establish a laboratory to study "hormonal carcinogenesis" (hormones as
causes of cancer).
Now a second hypothesis has been developed by Devra Davis, Aaron Blair,
Sheila Hoar Zahm, Neil Pearce, Joseph Fraumeni, and others at the
National Cancer Institute, asking about the role of pesticides in
certain cancers. The hypothesis begins by examining the health of
farmers.
Two million farm workers, and three million farmers and their families,
form a large occupational group exposed to toxic chemicals.[4] Farmers
are a relatively healthy group. For any given age, farmers have a low
overall mortality rate, indicating general good health. Compared to the
general public, farmers have lower risk for ischemic heart disease
[narrowing of the coronary arteries], and for all causes of cancer
combined.[5] Farmers also have lower risks for cancers of the lung,
esophagus, bladder, colon, liver, and kidney.
Low rates of cancer for lung, esophagus, and bladder, and low rates of
heart disease, can be explained by low prevalence of smoking among
farmers, which has been noted in numerous studies.
In addition, farmers have a low percentage of body fat, and a high
measure of physical fitness, probably because they perform hard
physical labor that keeps them in good shape. This good physical
condition probably contributes to lower risks for heart disease and
colon cancer, both of which are associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
Farmers also eat a relatively large amount of fruits and vegetables,
compared to the average American, and relatively small amounts of
processed foods. As a consequence, farmers' diets are most likely
higher in fiber than the average diet. Furthermore, in general, farmers
reside in areas with little air pollution.
However, despite their generally good health, farmers have higher-than-
general-population risks for certain cancers: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,
skin melanomas, multiple myeloma, leukemia [cancer of the blood-forming
organs], and cancers of the lip, stomach, prostate, and brain.
These high rates of a few select cancers among farmers, against a
background of low risks for most cancers and for non-cancer diseases,
suggests that work-related exposures may be causing specific cancers
among farmers.
These patterns may have broad public health implications since several
of the high-rate tumors among farmers are the same cancers that appear
to be increasing in the general population of many developed countries:
multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, melanoma of the skin, and
cancers of the prostate and brain.
There are several factors that could be causing these cancers among
farmers: farmers are out in the sun a lot, and ultraviolet sunlight is
associated with melanoma and cancer of the lip. Exposure to phenoxy
herbicides (2,4-D, 2,4,5-T, acilfluorfen, CNP, erbon, mecoprop, and
others) has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and to soft tissue
sarcoma.[6] Exposure to insecticides has been associated with leukemia,
multiple myeloma, and brain cancer. It is possible that animal viruses
may play a role in some farmers' cancers because elevated risks of
leukemia, soft tissue sarcoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have been
seen in slaughterhouse workers and veterinarians.
But there is also another possibility. Perhaps something in the
environment damages the immune systems of farmers, who then fall prey
to cancers that healthy immune systems would have been able to ward
It is noteworthy that the same cancers that affect farmers also affect
people whose immune systems have been damaged by disease, or by medical
intervention. Patients with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome)
experience striking excesses in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. (However, the
AIDS epidemic does not provide a complete explanation for the increase
in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma among the general population. The general
increase started before the AIDS epidemic began. In the U.S., the
greatest increases in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and
leukemia have occurred in rural agricultural areas of the central
region of the country.)
People who have organ transplants are given drugs to suppress their
immune systems because the immune system would normally reject a
foreign organ; these people, too, have high rates of non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma. Brain and skin cancers occur among bone marrow transplant
recipients; soft-tissue sarcomas, skin melanomas, and squamous cell
carcinomas of the skin and lip occur in kidney transplant patients;
leukemia and stomach cancers occur in people with immunodeficiency
This similarity between cancers associated with immunosuppression and
cancers among farmers suggests that farmers' cancers may be caused by
environmental factors that damage the immune system.
There is a large and convincing body of evidence showing that
pesticides harm the immune systems of laboratory animals.[7] However,
the number of human studies is very small. In humans, pesticide
exposures have been linked to a variety of immune system effects
including decreased host resistance to disease; suppressed T-cell
activity; enhanced B-and T-cell immune response; and contact
hypersensitivity. T-and B-cells are particular kinds of cells that
circulate in the blood and protect the body by fighting off bacteria,
viruses and cancer cells.
Increasingly, the general public is exposed to the same chemicals that
farmers are exposed to. And, as we saw last week, there is evidence
that immune disorders are increasing in the general population. The
hypothesis of Davis and her colleagues, that chemicals (or other
factors) on farms are increasing the cancer rates among farmers, could
have important consequences for us all. It represents a new kind of
tough, creative thinking that has been missing from the war on cancer
up until now.

IRA Friday: Primo Conditions, Predictable Heats, Faster Racing Coming
Ed Moran, row2k.com
Yale varsity eight
No surprises.
That was pretty much the way things went on the first day of racing at the 2019 IRA Championships Friday morning. On a day that started and ended with fair and sunny conditions across all lanes, the top seeded varsity eights advanced from the heats and into the Saturday semifinals.
There were no upsets, and no crews rowing an unexpected piece that would be talked about the rest of the way, or maybe longer. It was just a day of athletes doing exactly what they needed to do to set themselves up for a medal run in the Sunday final.
And of the top seeded teams, each one performed exactly the way they were expected. They started fast, established a lead, and kept it. Yale, Washington, California and Harvard were all the top seeds in the heats of the varsity eights, and all four cruised to the finish line.
Of the official times, Washington was the fastest. But times being relative to the day and situation, they will not mean much when Saturday morning comes, when pairs of those same top crews will race each other in the semifinals.
Saturday, it will all become more intense, and there will be no shutting down to conserve energy, the way Yale was able to do in their heat.
"We went out and executed what we said we were going to do, and then we took it down and conserved energy for what we need to do tomorrow, and in the final," said Yale senior Charlie Elwes.
"I never go into a race thinking we are the crew to beat, we're always on the offensive, and in a heat like this you always have to expect to do a full 2k," Elwes said. "We went out there expecting to do a full 2k, and expecting the crews to push us all the way to the finish line.
"Now it's all about recovery, relaxing and chilling out, getting the heart rate low and then start prepping for tomorrow."
Washington's Ben Davison had pretty much the same take, as he and his squad made their way off the venue to catch a little rest, recover, and head back for an afternoon row.
"It was a good race, we were working on some different things, so it was good to get out there and blow the cobwebs out. It's definitely good competition and it's good to see the teams from the East.
"We're trying to learn from each piece," Davison said. "We learned from this one, and we'll learn from tomorrow."
Among the top seeded teams, only Harvard had a crew - the varsity four - that needed to row in the afternoon reps to advance. They did.
And of the teams that did not qualify varsity eights directly to the Saturday semifinal, Syracuse, Cornell, Dartmouth and Stanford advanced from the reps.
Harvard varsity eight
"The conditions are great, and everybody performed well," said coach Charlie Butt. "We got it going, we kept it going, and that is as much as you can expect. Things are moving pretty much to form as far as I can tell."
Cal coach Scott Frandsen said the same about his team's performance.
"I think the guys raced really well, it was a good first race and there is lots to build on. With some new lineups, today was going to be a good confidence builder, and I think guys executed really well."
Tomorrow morning that confidence will come in handy.
When the semifinal lane assignments were posted after the afternoon session ended, Yale, Cal, Brown, Northeastern, Stanford and Cornell were placed in the first semi. Yale and Cal are next to each other.
In the second semi, Harvard and Washington are next to each other and lined up against BU, Princeton, Syracuse and Dartmouth.
"There are bigger races to come tomorrow, for sure," Frandsen said.
California's varsity eight
Lightweight Men
Of all the racing that took place Friday, the only final lineups that were settled, were the lightweight men's crews.
Cornell, Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Penn and Navy all advanced into the Sunday final, leaving Harvard and Georgetown the petite.
In the straight four, Navy, Penn, Cornell, Columbia, Princeton and Georgetown advanced to the medal round. And in the lightweight coxed fours, it was Navy, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Mercyhurst and Princeton to the final.
In terms of lightweight eight times rowed - it was close all the way across in both heats. And that means the norm for this season in the lightweight sprints league stands. Sunday is anybody's race.
Princeton lightweight eight
"It was a good race, I think with two days between the heat and the final, it's great to be able to go through all the stages of the race, and I think they were all pretty much according to plan," said Princeton coach Marty Crotty.
"We expected a see-saw race like we had. We certainly expected all those crews to be there. It's always nice to come out in front of that.
"We feel good about where we are for now," Crotty said. "But I think standing here, right now, it's almost the same scenario as lunch time at sprints. It's anybody's race, nobody's got better odds than anybody else. The same type of thing that happened at sprints."
Like Crotty, Yale coach Andy Card was happy with the way his varsity lightweight eight rowed in their heat, except for having Cornell come through them.
"We liked it, except for the end, but we'll probably do the same thing," he said. "That doesn't mean get rowed through, but we'll start out hard, because if you don't start out hard things might not go your way.
"It was exciting racing. Nobody knows what's going to happen (in the final), but isn't that what racing is all about. I like my team, and we're looking forward to the racing that's for sure. I wish people would pay more attention our league, it's really exciting."

On the east side of the Big Roof Cove and in between the larger coves, you'll find this small cove with crystal clear water, a sandy floor and pine forest surrounding it.
Although it's not possible to drop anchor here it is accessible using a smaller boat or dinghy.
There are steep sides inside the cove and it has shrubby evergreen vegetation and leads eastwards inland for about 400m. On the west side of the cove there is a perfect place to anchor but only enough room for 2 or 3 boats at a time.
Another cove found here is behind a gravel stone beach and under the liquid orientalis trees is a fresh water lake that is refreshing and great for swimming. This can also be reached using a track from Buyuk Cati and leads all the way up to the Cove of Balikasiran and as you walk along this wonderful area you will see many other coves.

Q: Motivic homotopy theory and Noether problem Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $V$ be a faithful representation of $G$. The Noether problem asks whether $V/G$ is rational (stably rational, retract rational) or not.
To construct counterexamples to the Noether problem is usually very difficult, and it is done by means of birational invariants (e.g. unramified cohomology). I was told that recently new invariants are being developed, using $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory.
I would like to learn about these developments, but a search online did not yield anything. Note that I know very little about motivic homotopy theory, but this is not a problem, because I intend to devote the time necessary to learn it (keeping the Noether problem in mind as my personal goal).
Do you know where these invariants are defined, and where the theory is built?

I am really struggling seeing this, I just cannot see why everything including $\frac{1}{t^{n-2}}$ is in term of $x$. Could anyone help explaining the equality of the two integrals?

A: I think there is an error, as the LHS depends on $\epsilon$ and the RHS does not.  On that same page, he calls
$$
I=\int_\epsilon^r\int_{\partial B(0,t)}\frac{1}{t^{n-2}}f\,dSdt\,\,\,\,\,\text{ and }\,\,\,\,\,J=\frac{1}{\epsilon^{n-2}}\int_{B(0,\epsilon)}f\,dy.
$$
Then
$$
I=\int_\epsilon^r\int_{\partial B(0,t)}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dS(y)dt=\int_{\epsilon\leq|y|\leq r}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dy=\int_{B(0,r)}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dy-\int_{B(0,\epsilon)}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dy
$$
since $t=|y|$ when $y\in\partial B(0,t)$ and $\bigcup_{t\in[\epsilon,r]}\partial B(0,t)=B(0,r)\backslash B(0,\epsilon)$.  For $n\geq 2$ we have
$$
\left|\int_{B(0,\epsilon)}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dy\right|\leq\max\,|f|\int_{0}^\epsilon\frac{1}{t^{n-2}}\int_{\partial B(0,t)}\,dS(y)dt=\max\,|f|\int_0^\epsilon n\alpha_nt\,dt\to 0
$$
as $\epsilon\to 0$.  He earlier states $J\to 0$ as $\epsilon\to 0$.  Hence,
$$
I+J\to \int_{B(0,r)}\frac{1}{|y|^{n-2}}f\,dy\,\,\text{ as }\,\,\epsilon\to 0
$$
and not as he states.

Movies|Are Films Bad, or Is TV Just Better?
Are Films Bad, or Is TV Just Better?
By A.O. Scott
See how this article appeared when it was originally published on NYTimes.com.
FOR as long as anyone in the movie world can remember (which may be only 20 years or so, but never mind), the fall season has been marked by a sober kind of excitement. The commercial entertainments of summer give way to more ambitious fare, and the grown-up segment of the audience goes back to the theaters looking for stirring performances, complex storytelling, important themes and big emotions. That's the theory, anyway.
Recently, though, that eager, earnest sense of anticipation — which this section of The New York Times, along with similar preview issues of other publications, both reflects and encourages — has been accompanied, at least among insiders and journalists, by annual paroxysms of anxiety. A few years ago the dominant worry was that a glut of serious movies would overwhelm the marketplace, the films crowding one another out, a concern that was followed almost seamlessly by the fear that such films might disappear altogether.
Several of the major studios shut down or scaled back their specialty divisions even before the global economy began to sag. Since then producers have had more and more trouble raising money through private equity and the preselling of foreign rights. As DVD sales sink, and the best minds in the movie industry try to figure out how to take advantage of video on demand, Internet streaming and other forms of digital distribution, the business climate seems grimmer than ever.
Perhaps the movie business, as it has before, will take care of itself and figure out a way to wring profits from changed circumstances. What concerns me more, apart from the quality of the movies themselves (which will continue to vary and to seem, in successive weeks, either better or worse than ever), is the state of the audience. By which I mean you, if you have read this far. Do you still care about movies? Should you?
Credit...Yuko Shimizu
You probably do, and I somewhat self-interestedly think that you should, but how much of this is the force of habit and the weight of tradition? People like going to the movies. As personal screens and media platforms mutate and proliferate, with content streaming from all directions, there is still something special about the experience of buying a ticket and a tub of popcorn and sitting, alone or with friends, watching pictures projected through the darkness.
And movies still occupy an Olympian position in the pop-culture landscape. They are bigger than television, grander than video games, more important than viral Internet videos — even if those things can often be more interesting, more profitable or more fun. Movie stars are coveted for magazine covers and talk-show guest spots; the premier movie awards show is a red-letter date on the global television calendar; movie advertisements festoon billboards, buses and Web pages. Movies are everywhere! Everyone loves movies!
But love is never easy, and the relationship between cinema and its public, which has endured for more than a century, has hit a rough patch. Some data, and some impressions: This summer, box office revenue was higher than ever, but the number of people going to movies was the lowest since the summer of 1997. (Remember "Con Air" and "Men in Black" and "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery"? It seems like so long ago. Or maybe just yesterday.) This apparent paradox is explained by rising ticket prices, and especially the lucrative practice of charging a premium for movies shown in 3-D. Some of the biggest hits of the season were presented in this format, which seems an especially profitable vehicle for children's entertainment.
It was not a brilliant summer, even if some of the more dyspeptic complaining, like the novelist and screenwriter Joe Queenan's apocalyptic late-July rant in The Wall Street Journal, might seem exaggerated. Summertime brought the usual fare — superhero sequels, action thrillers, goofball comedies, animated spectacles for the whole family, remakes and reboots and rehashes. A lot of these were not as good as previous examples, though it may be splitting hairs to distinguish levels of mediocrity. But the Will Ferrell comedy ("The Other Guys") was not as good as "Talladega Nights" or "Anchorman"; the Steve Carell comedy ("Dinner for Schmucks") was nowhere near "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"; and, as Mr. Queenan noted at some length, the Adam Sandler comedy ("Grown-Ups") was downright lame.
People went to see them anyway, and also "Ironman 2" and "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "Sex and the City 2" and "Salt." And quite a few went to Christopher Nolan's "Inception," a film that, whatever its flaws, showed originality rare in big-budget studio releases. It was also unusual in inspiring excited talk and obsessive argument on the Web and in multiplex parking lots. Did the top fall at the end? Did you hear that music? Was it all a dream?
"Inception" and "Toy Story 3," virtually alone among the scores of summer releases, came close to sustaining the dream of Old Hollywood, spawned back when the movies enjoyed a monopoly on visual entertainment and preserved the utopian capitalist ideal of the summer blockbuster. Movies are for everybody.
But of course not everyone goes to the same movies. A few times a year it seems that way — the parents cry while the children giggle at the Pixar movie; even your nongeek friends need to check out "Avatar" or "Inception" to see what everyone is talking about — but more often movies follow the logic of division, splitting what used to be called the mass audience into demographic segments.
There are, supposedly, "guy movies" and "chick flicks"; genre movies aimed at teenagers; films that cater implicitly or overtly to various ethnic, religious and ideological subgroups. Sometimes there is crossover, or (to borrow from the jargon of electoral politics) high turnout from the base. And occasionally a movie seems to sweep away all distinctions — between popular and critical success; between box office power and awards prestige — and becomes the focus of passionate discussion that ripples through the culture.
When was the last time this happened? Will it happen with "The Social Network" by David Fincher or "Hereafter" by Clint Eastwood or "Black Swan" by Darren Aronofsky or any of the other ambitious movies lining up at the fall festivals? I'm not talking awards prospects or box office numbers, though these have become the easy measures of success. I mean a sense of cultural impact commensurate with the ambition displayed and the money spent.
Or will some of the festival favorites — "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives," from the Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, this year's surprise winner of the top prize in Cannes and showing at the New York Film Festival this month; or "Meek's Cutoff," Kelly Reichardt's western; or Lena Dunham's "Tiny Furniture" — send out ripples beyond the cinephile coteries that are sure to embrace them?
The salient question is this: Will any of the movies surfacing this fall provoke the kind of conversation that television series routinely do, breaking beyond niches into something larger? This bad summer movie season, in what seems to be one of the best television years ever, reinforces a suspicion that has been brewing for some time. Television, a business with its own troubles, is nonetheless able to inspire loyal devotion among viewers, to sustain virtual water-cooler rehashes on dozens of Web sites and to hold a fun-house mirror up to reality as movies rarely do.
Look back over the past decade. How many films have approached the moral complexity and sociological density of "The Sopranos" or "The Wire"? Engaged recent American history with the verve and insight of "Mad Men"? Turned indeterminacy and ambiguity into high entertainment with the conviction of "Lost"? Addressed modern families with the sharp humor and sly warmth of "Modern Family"? Look at "Glee," and then try to think of any big-screen teen comedy or musical — or, for that matter, movie set in Ohio — that manages to be so madly satirical with so little mean-spiritedness.
I swear, I'm not trying to horn in on my colleagues' territory. But the traditional relationship between film and television has reversed, as American movies have become conservative and cautious, while scripted series, on both broadcast networks and cable, are often more daring, topical and willing to risk giving offense.
This may represent not an aesthetic fault line, but rather a corporate division of labor, since the television networks and the movie studios belong to the same conglomerates, and there is frequent crossover among executives and producers as well as directors, actors and writers. And looked at from another angle — from your couch to the living room wall, say, or from your armchair to the laptop or other mobile electronic device in your hand — the distinction between movies and television grows more tenuous every day. The most interesting, provocative and surprising movies of the coming season may well reach you through video on demand or Internet streaming, playing in only a handful of theaters so that critics can have a chance to spread the word about them.
Those movies will reach a smaller audience — a demographic niche existing uncomfortably within the mass public that has always represented the movies' phantom ideal. And some of the best movies of the future may be movies for the few, or even for no one, expressions of idiosyncratic personal visions or ideas that linger happily at the margins. Oscar Wilde observed that there are as many publics as there are people, a notion that flips the utopian idea of movies for everyone on its head. At the movies, you're on your own.

Local coalition challenges NEB to look at climate impacts of proposed Energy East Pipeline
Local coalition challenges NEB to…
Map of Proposed Energy East Pipeline route. Source: National Energy Board
Energy East Pipelines, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada Oil Pipelines (Canada), has applied to build the Energy East Pipeline, a project that will use aging natural gas pipelines along most of its route to move explosive and toxic diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands to refining facilities on Canada's east coast.
The plan is fraught with risks to human health and the natural environment, but the National Energy Board, the federal regulatory body charged with assessing the suitability of this project, seems determined to turn a blind eye to the most serious ones.
The elephant in the room that the NEB is most anxious to ignore is the climate change that will be unleashed by the continued development of the Alberta oils sands. Opponents say development of the tar sands, a northern Alberta mega project that will strip-mine an area the size of Nova Scotia, could create enough carbon to push the world to the edge of uncontrolled climate change. Without pipelines, oil sands development will shrivel, and with it, the potential for further environmental damage.
In Winnipeg, a citizens' coalition has challenged the National Energy Board to "consider the full scope of the proposed project's environmental and human impacts, including upstream and downstream effects."
This is a video I recorded at its December 8, 2014 news conference at the University of Winnipeg. Below is the text of the coalition's open letter to the NEB.
An Open Letter to the National Energy Board on TransCanada's Energy East Pipeline
Dear Mr. Watson,
We, the undersigned, are writing to urge the National Energy Board to amend its review of TransCanada's proposed Energy East pipeline. We believe that the review process must consider the full scope of the proposed project's environmental and human impacts, including upstream and downstream effects. Any regulatory review should include not only the impact of the pipeline itself, but also the cumulative impacts of producing, refining, and burning the oil that would flow through it, if the project were approved.
If the NEB continues to refuse to assess upstream and downstream impacts you are leaving essential questions unanswered:
What are the global climate impacts of burning the oil this pipeline carries?
Understanding that this project would enable tar sands expansion, what consequences would Energy East have on the world's ability to keep global average temperatures below a 2 degree Celsius temperature rise?
What would be the economic and health effects of increased tar sands production on communities, including First Nations communities, near the tar sands and along the pipeline?
What are the projected economic costs of the national and global climate impacts associated with any project which increases tar sand production? Who would be most likely to bear these costs?
What kinds of climate adaptation plans would be required based on the climate impacts of this proposed project? Who would develop them? Who would pay for them, and how?
Without a full and transparent accounting of the global climate impacts and associated economic and health costs of this project, we cannot in good conscience consider the National Energy Board to be acting in the best interest of Canadian families. Without including these critical questions, how can we believe the NEB to be undertaking a legitimate review of the proposal?
It is in your power to add these areas of concern to the "list of issues" for consideration. If it is currently outside the scope of the regulatory powers of the NEB to address these questions, we urge you to exercise exemplary moral leadership and refuse to review this pipeline and petition Parliament to grant you the legal authority to do so.

Il ritorno di Sandokan è uno sceneggiato televisivo  del 1996, diretto da Enzo G. Castellari e tratto dai romanzi del ciclo malese di Emilio Salgari.
Sebbene l'interprete principale sia sempre l'attore indiano Kabir Bedi, questa produzione non deve considerarsi il seguito de La tigre è ancora viva: Sandokan alla riscossa! del 1977, che di contro era il solo ed unico seguito dello sceneggiato televisivo Sandokan.

Produzione
Il 5 ottobre 1993 Kabir Bedi annunciò che sarebbe ritornato nel ruolo di Sandokan in un nuovo sceneggiato televisivo di 4 puntate dalla durata di 90 minuti ciascuna. L'attore confermò Sergio Sollima come regista, Philippe Leroy nel ruolo di Yanez de Gomera, annunciò che le riprese in India, Thailandia e Malaysia sarebbero iniziate l'8 novembre 1993 per concludersi dopo venti settimane,  mentre disse di non sapere nulla sull'attrice che avrebbe rivestito il ruolo di protagonista femminile.

Sollima presentò il progetto prima alla RAI e, successivamente, al Festival di Cannes ma, a seguito del cambio dei dirigenti RAI, il progetto naufragò. Il progetto per il nuovo sceneggiato passò a Canale 5 che affidò la regia a Enzo G. Castellari. Philippe Leroy fu sostituito da Fabio Testi. La scelta di sostituire Leroy con Testi fu oggetto di numerose discussioni: i produttori sostenevano che Leroy fosse troppo anziano per reinterpretare il personaggio, mentre l'attore francese rivelò che fu proprio lui a rifiutare la parte per non interpretare un personaggio "dimezzato". Il budget fu di 15 miliardi di lire.

Trama

Prima puntata
Lady Dora Parker arriva in India, nel territorio dell'Assam, insieme al suo fotografo Alfred Higgins per scrivere un articolo sul pirata Sandokan, soprannominato la "Tigre della Malesia". Il destino vuole proprio che Sandokan incontri la donna, salvandola da un gruppo di banditi. Yanez De Gomera, amico fraterno di Sandokan e ora compagno della regina Surama, chiama Sandokan a palazzo dove spiega all'amico che il cugino della sua consorte, Raska, ha intenzione di conquistare il regno e di diventare maharaja usurpando il trono. Sandokan decide, quindi, di aiutare l'amico facendo da scorta a Surama durante la festa del governatore inglese. Ma proprio qui il pirata viene scoperto dagli inglesi tramite un tranello di Yamira, concubina di Raska, per poi essere condotto in prigione. James Guilford, segretario del governatore e nipote di lord Brooke, si allea con Raska e uccide il governatore, facendo ricadere la colpa su Sandokan, nel frattempo fuggito grazie all'intervento di Dora, di Alfred e dello stesso Guilford. Mentre André, il figlio di Yanez, viene ferito e guarito dal santone di un villaggio, Yogi Azim, Surama viene rapita dal cugino, il quale ferisce Yanez mortalmente.

Seconda puntata
Sandokan e André soccorrono Yanez e lo portano da Yogi Azim, il quale riesce a curare il portoghese. I soldati di Raska, tuttavia, scoprono che Yogi Azim è alleato di Sandokan e dei suoi compagni, e così lo torturano pesantemente. André per liberare la figlia di Azim, Baba, di cui è profondamente innamorato, si reca al palazzo di Raska, dove viene anch'egli catturato e imprigionato. Intanto, Sandokan, con la complicità di Dora, arriva nel nascondiglio di Raska, uccide i soldati e libera Surama, che poco dopo viene nuovamente catturata. Durante la lotta Sandokan viene ferito da Raska e, una volta guarito, esorta Dora a non seguirlo. La ragazza, però, è intenta a scrivere l'articolo per il suo giornale e non è disposta ad accettare la richiesta del pirata.

Terza puntata
Sandokan e Dora si rifugiano nella foresta. Yamira si invaghisce di André, e tenta in tutti modi di salvarlo. Intanto Guilford convince Lord Parker a nominarlo governatore. La richiesta viene accettata e James convince gli inglesi ad allearsi con Raska. Quest'ultimo si presenta con Guilford alla riunione e uccide tutti i raja, diventando automaticamente il nuovo maharaja dell'Assam. Sandokan e Dora raggiungono le montagne dell'Assam e qui incontrano Kammamuri e la sua banda. Il malese convince il compagno a unirsi a lui nella speranza di sconfiggere Raska. Giunti al villaggio di Azim, incontrano Yanez e decidono di prepararsi alla battaglia tenendo un'imboscata a Kadek, il braccio destro di Raska, il quale è intento a sacrificare Baba alla dea Kālī. I guerrieri capeggiati da Yanez e Kammamuri riescono a salvare la ragazza, ma Sandokan viene catturato e reso cieco attraverso uno dei veleni di Kadek. Dora, intanto, cerca di far credere al padre che Sandokan è innocente e che non ha ucciso lui il governatore, ma questi non gli crede.

Quarta puntata
Sandokan, reso cieco, è prigioniero di Raska. Yanez decide di consegnarsi a Raska, in cambio della vita del figlio André, che invece viene liberato. Yamira, innamoratasi di André, viene punita da Raska e, per vendicarsi, fa in modo che Sandokan riottenga la vista attraverso un suo antidoto. Kammamuri, Yanez e i loro compagni fanno irruzione nel palazzo di Raska, dove liberano Sandokan. Successivamente il gruppo raggiunge il palazzo di Surama, dove la maharani sta per abdicare il trono in favore di Raska. Sandokan interviene appena in tempo: dopo un duro scontro la tigre della Malesia uccide Raska e Guilford. Dora, che intanto si è innamorata di Sandokan, viene costretta dal padre a partire per l'Inghilterra. Sulla strada del ritorno appare Sandokan che le augura una vita felice, non potendo ricambiare il suo amore, in quanto lui ha amato solo ed unicamente una donna, ovvero Marianna, "la Perla di Labuan", e fugge nella foresta.

Attori

Critiche
Il film ricevette critiche negative, soprattutto a causa delle numerose differenze con i film diretti da Sergio Sollima. Anche Sollima stesso non mancò di criticare la nuova serie: «I produttori hanno affannosamente cercato Philippe Leroy, ma lui ha rifiutato perché il prodotto non si annunciava all'altezza. Qui correttezza e buon gusto sono latitanti. [...] Il nuovo Sandokan? Non ha nulla a che fare con il vecchio sceneggiato. E solo un soggettino, un filmetto di categoria, come "il ritorno di Ercole". Salgari non c'entra niente. E trovo di pessimo gusto che Guido e Maurizio De Angelis abbiano riutilizzato le due canzoni più note.»

Within the framework of the Ministerial, Tbilisi is hosting the members of High Council of Europe the Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe - Gabriela Batini-Dragoni, as well as the high officials responsible for executing sports competitions and heads of international sports and non-governmental organizations. Representatives of diplomatic corps, executive and legislative officials accredited in Georgia also took part in the Ministerial.
Mikheil Batiashvili – the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia considers that the Council of Europe's Sports Ministerial is a major step forward because it allows the country to contribute to deepening of common European cooperation.
In the Minister's opinion, today the world has a serious challenge to fight against violence, racism, discrimination, doping, and corruption, and therefore this Ministerial is an excellent opportunity to fully address the problems in this field. He is convinced that the desired results are achieved through active involvement of the honorable guests, delegates and experts.
The Ministerial is held once in two years and aims to give a new impetus for common European cooperation and to respond to challenges in the field of sports. Participants of the Ministerial will discuss specific aspects of cooperation between the countries and fight against corruption in sports. The agenda includes two key issues: protection of human rights in sports and fight against corruption in sport. At the same time, two resolutions will be adopted: 1. Fight against corruption in the field of sports: and strengthening its measures, 2. Human rights protection in sports, liabilities and common responsibilities.
The Ministerial is organized by the Council of Europe, EPAS and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Georgia.
