Theatre in Mauritius
Friday Dec 14th 2018 Karuna
Drama Local Artists Performing Arts
The origins of theatre on the island can be traced back to the colonial period. Over the years, the islanders have had the unique opportunity to discover a series of international works including a repertoire of classical European plays and Italian Opera.
Mauritian Theatre seeks to showcase local talent by offering youngsters a space to thrive and share their creativity. Theatre is not only a form of entertainment but also a means of social and cultural communication for young Mauritians. To emphasize this belief, artists offer fresh takes on classical works by using Mauritian creole to add their own personal touch and help make the work resonate on a more personal level with the audience. Spectators are often incited to cooperate with actors on stage and help make plays more immersive and interactive.
List of Theatres in Mauritius
Port Louis Theatre
The first British Governor of Mauritius, Sir Robert Farquhar, opened the Port Louis Theatre in 1822 , some ten years after British colonisation. The Theatre, provided a home for theatrical art in Mauritius throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and was also one of the first theatres to be built in the southern hemisphere.
Mauritian artists and international troupes would regularly frequent the theatre to enjoy plays and opera, including representations of popular European works such as La Bohême, The Barber of Seville, Il Trovatore, Rigoletto and Aïda.
In 2008, the theatre closed it doors due to its poor state and renovation began earlier this year.
The Plaza Theatre – Rose Hill
The Plaza Theatre was built by local authorities in 1927 following a petition from the inhabitants, requesting its construction to cater to the cultural needs of the rapidly growing population at the time.
The first performance on the Plaza stage occurred in 1934, when a local company, the Mauritius Dramatic Club, started performing plays from the English-speaking repertoire including Shakespearean dramas, comedies and other interesting works. It was not long before productions were done in several different languages: French, Mauritian Creole, Hindi and other Mauritian languages.
Theatre Serge Constantin – Vacoas
The Serge Constantin Theatre, formerly known as Trafalgar Hall or also as Garisson Hall, was originally part of the military compound of the British, during their stay in Mauritius.Prior to its renovation, Trafalgar Hall was an old wooden building located at corner St Vincent and Farquhar Road, Vacoas. It is one of the few Government Institutions, that promotes local culture.
In 2015, the Serge Constantin Theatre finally re-opened after undergoing a six-month renovation. in addition to an improved audience viewing experience, comfortable seats and an air conditioning system was also added. The venue is dedicated to promoting theater and related activities, as well as music, film and much more.
Sapsiway Theater – Roches Brunes
The small theatre of Sapsiway came into being Trup Sapsiway, when the drama troupe decided to have their own space to produce their own work. An old shop on Rue Mère Térésa in Roches-Brunes was transformed into a small theatre, thanks to the resourcefulness of Gaston Valayden, the director of the troupe and owner of the premises.

Baby Boomers Driving Demand for In-Home Care
asked about 3 years ago
With over 46 million seniors in the U.S. fuelling the in-home care industry, demand for these services are on the increase. And businesses like Acti-Kare are leading the way.
Baby Boom Statistics
America's older population, aged 65 years and above, currently make up approximately 15 percent of the total population, a little over 46 million people. Baby Boomers, those who are currently aged between 52 and 70 years of age, are significantly reshaping this demographic.
According to the Administration on Ageing, this demographic is expected to more than double in size to 98 million people, around 25 percent of the population, by 2060.
The average life expectancy has increased from age 68 in 1950 to 79 in 2013, according to the Population Reference Bureau. While this is a positive statistic, there are a number of health issues that are also on the increase, meaning this increasing population group will require greater healthcare, whether that be in-home or in a suitable medical facility.
Alzheimer's Disease a Major Factor
Alzheimer's Disease in one of the leading healthcare concerns experts are aware of for this older population group. It is predicted that there will be a steep rise in the number of people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease over the coming years. Currently, around 5 million people live with the disease, but by 2050 this figure is expected to almost triple to 14 million.
Obesity rates are also another health concern for this age group. Obesity rates currently stand at approximately 40 percent among those aged 65 years and over, and experts are aware that this figure is constantly on the increase.
These health statistics are already putting pressure on Medicare and are fuelling the increasing demand for in-home health care.
Acti-Kare Leading the Way
Businesses like Acti-Kare have seen this progression and have decided to meet these needs by offering franchise business opportunities that provide in-home care to those in need.
Derek Cafferata, President and CEO of franchising experts, All State Franchise Finders, believes businesses like Acti-Kare are right on target for future success.
"When looking to go into business for yourself, always consider the industry's future potential and growth," says Derek. "Virtually every healthcare and government department is aware of the need for easier access to in-home care. And everyone knows that this demand is only going to increase."
All State Franchise Finders Represents Acti-Kare
All State Franchise Finders represents Acti-Kare, a company who provide in-home care services to seniors as well as people recovering from illness, injury or surgery and expectant and new mothers.
Acti-Kare Responisve In-Home Care was founded in 2007 and currently has 100 franchises operating across the country. Acti-Kare consistently ranks among the best franchises in Entrepreneur Magazine's Annual Top 500 Franchise list.
"Apart from the great growth potential an Acti-Kare franchise offers, it is also a popular choice among franchisees due to its low start-up costs, in-depth training and excellent on-going support," says Derek. "No prior healthcare experience is necessary to invest in an Acti-Kare franchise."

The Chicago History Museum's new display celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics, a worldwide movement of human inclusion and equality that began in Chicago.
The very first international Special Olympics Games were held at Soldier Field on July 20, 1968, and had few spectators in the stands. Today, Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities and a model of equal opportunity for all.
"We are proud to add this story to our core exhibition, Chicago: Crossroads of America, and hope that it will inspire our visitors to support this fine organization and its many athletes," said Olivia Mahoney, senior curator at the Chicago History Museum.
Special Olympics torch, c.1990, modeled after those used at the Modern Olympics and used to light a cauldron that burns for the games' duration.
Special Olympics awards including a gold medal, 1968; blue ribbon, c.1970; and Illinois team patch. Athletes receive awards for achievement and participation. The original Special Olympics emblem, shown on the medal and ribbon, is still used today.
Special Olympics Chicago Polar Plunge medal and participant ribbon, 2018. Since 2000, thousands of people have jumped into an icy cold Lake Michigan in order to raise funds for Special Olympics Chicago.
The Museum is honored to welcome many of the Special Olympics Chicago athletes who will be travelling to compete in The National Games in Seattle, WA, to see the Museum's new display on Tuesday, June 19 from 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Illinois Supreme Court Justice Anne M. Burke, founder of the Chicago Special Olympics, and Olivia Mahoney will also be in attendance. Athletes in attendance will be competing in a variety of sports at National Games, July 1- 6.The display recognizes the work of Justice Burke, who conceived of the idea of the Special Olympics in the fall of 1967 while working as a physical education teacher at the Chicago Park District. On June 6, 2018, Justice Burke was presented with The Jane Addams Making History Award for Distinction in Public Service by the Chicago History Museum."While there's more work to be done," Burke says, "the city of Chicago has a special place in history as it played a pivotal role in helping bring about a new era for the disabled.
Special Olympics Chicago is the largest local chapter of the Special Olympics, an international organization supported by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation. Since its founding in 1968, the chapter has provided athletic training and held regular competitions for thousands of athletes through the Chicago Park District.
The Special Olympics 50th Anniversary Celebration takes place July 17 through the 21. As the organization's 50th-anniversary celebration nears, Burke says she often reflects on how the Special Olympics has given children with intellectual disabilities a rightful place in mainstream society.
Admission to the display is included with regular Museum admission ($19 adults/ $17 seniors and students, and free for children 12 years of age and younger and Illinois residents 18 years and younger).
The Museum gratefully acknowledges the support of The Honorable Anne M. Burke.

If consciousness was an illusion, would it be less real?
Even though qualia are generally considered to be unexplainable, there are philosophers like Daniel Dennett attempting to get to the core of consciousness with scientific methods. In his view, consciousness is an "illusion", on the physical base, created by our brains.
But I think I don't fully understand what is meant by that. Let's say that the discovery could be made and we would be able to fully understand the phenomena behind everything we experience. Would we change the way we think about consciousness in the sense it wouldn't be considered to be a "supernatural" thing outside the laws of physics? With what we know, which is tones of expierence of consciousness, is it possible to say it's less real than it seems?
I know his point isn't that consciousness isn't real (because the illusions surely has to exist for him to criticize :) but I feel like his philosophy implies qualia isn't real. And at the same time, it seems to me that I think, therefore I am. * has to be an axiom for any philosophical theory formulated in human words. So if someone managed to fully explain the illusion of consciousness, would it started to be considered a standard "physical" phenomenon (just like the theory of abiogenesis started to push more and more thinkers to leave the idea of divine intervention in the formation of biological life)?
As for a non-philosopher (and Czech), it's hard for me to put my thoughts into words so please feel free to reword it if you think you've captured the idea.
*_ Let's consider thinking a quale for sake of the argument (it could be any other quale)
consciousness reality scientific-method physicalism qualia
ProbablyProbably
"I think, therefore I am" is not an axiom of philosophy, many consider it to be a fallacy. Dennett compares qualia to spirits of trees and rivers, while people certainly meant something real that they observed and felt when they talked about spirits eventually we came to express ourselves in a more precise and less misleading manner. This will have to happen under anybody's position because at present when people talk about "qualia" it is always obscure what exactly is being talked about. – Conifold Feb 24 '17 at 20:03
Possible duplicate of How can consciousness be an illusion? – Alexander S King Feb 24 '17 at 22:12
@AlexanderSKing I've read it several times but those are exactly the questions I couldn't find here – Probably Feb 24 '17 at 22:45
@Conifold I've read this as well but it seemed to me none of these objections deals with the real meaning - which is that we need an empirical expierence in order to describe anything. Of course, every axiom has to be the fallacy of the circular definition - just like logic we formulate the thoughts in itself. But if we don't recognize expierence as truth, we can not talk about anything, those are just matrix theories. But thank you – Probably Feb 24 '17 at 22:49
You can have axiomatic "definitions" that are non-circular. The problem with qualia is that there is no agreed upon set of principles governing them, nor agreed upon way to discover anything about them empirically. From what little is commonly said about them they can not be part of any empirical truth simply because they are not repeatable, not propositional and not sharable. I have a feeling from your previous questions that what you are trying to get at is not what is usually called "qualia", but rather (propositionalized) introspective data of empirical psychology, like "color space". – Conifold Feb 25 '17 at 0:39
I think the notion of illusion, here, is not something that does not exist, it is something that is wholly other than it seems. As you note, if it did not exist, it would not be there to label.
Dennet has no problem with the idea that you think, or that you are, or that it is necessary to do the latter in order to do the former. But he thinks we are badly served by viewing ourselves (and other animals) in terms of sequentially processing machines like those that we build, which principally process language by running it through a centralized nexus or a small number of highly general processors. He contends that the biology just does not support it, in terms of the sequencing, in terms of the generality of the processors, or in terms of the centralization of any part of it.
The fact that we express our experience of consciousness in a way that is highly artificial does not make it any less real. Explaining it surely shouldn't make it go away. Explaining speciation did not make speciation go away. It did replace a non-explanation with an explanation. Hopefully we can do the same thing with the stream of thought. Unlike divine design, consciousness will survive being demystified.
The notion of a sequential stream of thought is one part of the problem, and it is that notion that he is attacking when he says "consciousness is an illusion". So he proposes a metaphor for thinking that dismisses the three aspects of serialization, general processing and centralization, but presents the same surface appearance. He speaks in terms of 'multiple drafts'.
Dennett's 'multiple drafts' model of human processing is much like the psychoanalytical model. The brain is a parallel process with disconnected entities making calls based on specialized subsets of information extracted asynchronously from different aspects of the available data. Most of these processes use heuristics less precise than actual logic to make their determinations, so they conflict and compete.
The feeling that it is a coordinated whole is constructed as it is composed for memory, because we have specialized our memory socially to record stories, and not raw data. This is what is meant by a 'draft' -- it is a possible story competing to take up space in memory. As data stabilizes, it is edited. And edits continue even after it is transcribed.
So what does the 'drafting' process do to the notion of a quale?
Well, each of the competing processes has treated the same stimulus that we would ultimately attribute the quale in a slightly different way. They don't agree on the quale. Without consent from the full consciousness, does it exist? And the composing process does not compose a single unified version of the experience unless it is relevant to some aspect of a storyline that can be expected to verify the experience in a future reference. So it creates only the memory of the quale, and then only if it predicts that it might matter. At the point where agreement about the actual artifact is stable enough to record, it is no longer currently being experienced, it is a memory. At that point, was there any original?
So there are not quale, there are memories of quale, but those are not quale, especially since they begin changing almost immediately so that related events can increase in consistency of recall over time.
That means, as you deduce, that quale are just part of the illusion of unity. They exist, in some sense, or we could not remember them. But you cannot pin one down in the form we would expect it to have given how we will experience it in memory.
Consciousness as a single storyline that is deterministically composed before or at the time it is experienced is an illusion we experience because whenever we experience a previous time, including the time immediately before the present, we are handed a storyline that is temporarily frozen in a state that makes it appear consistent with our logic. But it is only one among many actually present in memory, and it is currently under revision.
Citations to Dennet's work would help distinguish your opinions in this answer from his position. Also your comment about labels is preposterous - that we label horses with a single horn does not mean that unicorns exist. – Mr. Kennedy Feb 24 '17 at 22:48
So if someone managed to fully explain the illusion of consciousness, would it start to be considered a standard "physical" phenomenon?
That is the idea and precisely why Dennet's hermeneutic approach is irrelevant to neuroscience. A heuristic approach to consciousness and the philosophy of mind, once adequately framing and identifying the issues at hand, will pass off the empirical research to science. For a long time consciousness was thought to be beyond the purview of objective scientific research. While there is an epistemic limitation in that we cannot verify statements from a first-person subjective perspective (e.g. "I feel glad"), we most certainly can have a third-person objective investigation which advances knowledge claims regarding first-person subjective ontology. Stuck in an informational-computational model Dennet has literally missed this bus which is actually heading to Cognitive Neuroscience town.
Per Professor John R. Searle, "where consciousness is concerned the existence of the appearance is the reality" but as far as Dennet is concerned consciousness simply does not exist.
As for what is meant by "illusion": in the sense that a rainbow is the illusion of, in the French l'arc en ciel, or, an arc in the sky, there is no actual arc, only a literal (figurative, or, metaphorical) arc in the sky. In the sense that this illusion is the refraction of light through a prism, the actual lightwaves do exist and, given the perspective of the observer, appear as an arc through the sky. Similarly, a sunset - from the vantage of an observer - appears as if a giant glowing orb descends below the horizon, yet we know that this descent is only illusory as the observer circumnavigates the glowing orb upon their own rotating sphere (Earth). In Dennet's sense of illusion, he is denying the existence of both the arc and the lightwaves; both the observer and the descending spheres. In his "Consciousness Explained" all he does is offer a metaphorical explanation of consciousness:
Human consciousness is itself a huge collection of memes (or more exactly, meme-effects in brains) that can best be understood as the operation of a "von Neumannesque" virtual machine implemented in the parallel architecture of a brain that was not designed for any such activities. [italics in the original, p.210]
Like Dawkins, the inventor of the meme, he relies on a teleological explanation and is begging the question as to purpose. Dennet merely presents a way of looking at consciousness instead of offering a heuristic approach to obtaining knowledge regarding consciousness. 10+ years after writing "Consciousness Explained", Dennet is still trying to "begin to imagine how the brain creates consciousness." In short, Dennet is advancing what John Searle describes as a "Strong AI" accounting of consciousness. Dennet's behaviorist reduction of consciousness to an undesigned algorithm and his mistaken materialistic mis-read that consciousness cannot be examined objectively, amounts to little more than simply denying accounts of consciousness which purport an irreducible first-person subjective ontology and labelling them "obscurantist":
Postulating special inner qualities that are not only private and intrinsically valuable, but also unconfirmable and uninvestigateable is just obscurantism. [p.450]
In "Consciousness Denied: Daniel Dennet's Account" - chapter five of Searle's "Mystery of Consciousness" suggests a direct approach to testing Dennet's specious claims:
[Dennet's] rhetorical flourishes here are typical of the book, but to bring the discussion down to earth, ask yourself, when you performed the experiment of pinching yourself were you "postulating special inner qualities" that are "unconfirmable and uninvestigatable"? Were you being "obscurantist"? And most important, is there no difference at all between you who have pains and an unconscious zombie that behaves like you but has no pains or any other conscious states?
Searle sums up Dennett's position:
Dennet, as Kierkegaard said in another connection, keeps the forms, while stripping them of their significance. He keeps the vocabulary of consciousness, while denying its existence.
Earlier Searle points out that:
The subjective feelings are the data that a theory of consciousness has to explain ... The peculiarity of Daniel Dennet's book can now be explained: he denies the existence of the data. He thinks there are no such things as ... the feeling of pain. He thinks there are no such things as qualia, subjective experiences, first-person phenomena, or any of the rest of it. Dennet agrees that it seems to us that there are such things as qualia, but this is a matter of a mistaken judgment we are making about what really happens.
As for whether consciousness is real if it is an illusion, Searle suggests that it is very real even if an illusion:
But couldn't we disprove the existence of these data by proving that they are only illusions? No, you can't disprove the existence of conscious experiences by proving that the are only an appearance disguising the underlying reality, because where consciousness is concerned the existence of the appearance is the reality. If it seems to me exactly as if I am having conscious experiences, then I am having conscious experiences. This is not an epistemic point. I might make various sorts of mistakes about my experiences, for example, if I suffered from phantom limb pains. But whether reliably reported or nor, the experience of feeling the pain is identical with the pain in a way that the experience of seeing a sunset is not identical with a sunset.
In short, perspectival and situational accounts (i.e. "what is true to [you; me; us; them]) may differ with empirically verifiable accounts (i.e. what is true), but this does not diminish the value, meaning or existence of the conscious experience as described situationally or relative to perspective.
There is a very informative series of NYRB reviews and exchanges between Searle and Dennet which may add to your understanding of Dennet's position:
"The Myth of the Computer" by John Searle, a review of "The Mind's I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self and Soul" composed and arranged by Douglas R. Hofstadter and Daniel C. Dennett
"The Myth of the Computer: An Exchange" Daniel C. Dennett, reply by John R. Searle
"The Mystery of Consciousness" John R. Searle
"The Mystery of Consciousness: Part II" John R. Searle
'The Mystery of Consciousness': An Exchange Daniel C. Dennett, reply by John R. Searle
Mr. KennedyMr. Kennedy
There is nothing teleological in any part of the theory in "Consciousness, Explained." And the statement above it, which is supposed to motivate it, very clearly has nothing teleological about it. He indicates what he means by the brain not being intended for 'any such activities' very clearly in the book, and the arguments proceed from genetics and not teleology. This being the only honest reference to Dennet in the whole piece, it reduces your main argument to a misunderstanding. – user9166 Feb 24 '17 at 23:02
@jobermark Dennet plainly comments upon what brains were not designed for & cites Dawkins equally fallacious and absurd memetics. Both present a teleological fallacy of begging the question. – Mr. Kennedy Feb 24 '17 at 23:20
He is using designed in the sense biologists use it when discussing genetics. This is the classical fallacy of equivocation, not logic. That reduces the number of attempts to actually understand anything in the book to zero. An honest reference would be one that is either in context, or actually means what you say it means. There are none of those here. – user9166 Feb 24 '17 at 23:27
@jobermark At the very least I have cited what Dennet has actually written in conveying his argument. As stated earlier, without any citation your answer is wholly unsupported. – Mr. Kennedy Feb 25 '17 at 0:42
Anyone who can claim evolutionary biologists like Dawkins are reasoning teleologically when they talk about genes (or since memes and genes are meant to be parallel, about memes) and the 'argument from design' simply does not understand the nature of biology, and probably does not understand how science works. Consider reading Dawkins' "The River out of Eden" and his explanation of bee-dances and how, even though the language sometimes tricks people, including himself, the actual process implied is not about teleology. – user9166 Feb 25 '17 at 4:05

Intravenous Infusion Therapy
IV therapies designed to treat specific conditions can be very powerful tools in healing and can promote overall wellness.
Click on the links just below to go to detailed information about our IV therapies or scroll down the page to read a short synopsis of each.
THE INFUSIONS WE OFFER
IN A NUTSHELL: Scientists have found that Alpha Lipoic Acid can be used medically to help regenerate liver tissue, reverse the complications of diabetes mellitus, slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, and chelate heavy metals, among other actions. ALA is considered a unique antioxidant, as it is both water and fat soluble, thereby increasing its ability to function in many parts of the body.
CHELATION for HEAVY METALS
IN A NUTSHELL: Our bodies cannot detoxify heavy metals, yet it knows they are toxins, so it sequesters them in body stores such brain, bone and fat. Over time, they accumulate to toxic levels and seep out into the blood stream poisoning our nervous, endocrine and immune systems. Chelation Therapy helps remove toxic heavy metals and minerals from the blood stream to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, senility and certain types of cancer.
CHELATION for HEART DISEASE
IN A NUTSHELL: This may be one of the most effective, least expensive and safest treatments for heart disease ever developed. With repeated administrations of a weak synthetic amino acid (EDTA, ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid) atherosclerotic plaque and other mineral deposits are reduced throughout the cardiovascular system by literally dissolving them away. Because EDTA is so effective at removing unwanted minerals blood, it has been the standard FDA-approved treatment for lead poisoning for more than 50 years.
GLUTATHIONE THERAPY
IN A NUTSHELL: Glutathione improves liver and brain functions including memory, while helping to lower the risk of conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy and liver disease. Glutathione is considered the "master antioxidant" and is involved in many processes in the body, including tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and for the immune system.
IN A NUTSHELL: Vitamin C is a well-known nutrient and potent antioxidant found in food and dietary supplements. When taken intravenously, much higher levels of Vitamin C may be obtained compared to oral ingestion, where dose and absorption are limited. The most impressive use of this powerful therapy is against cancer cells, although its benefits extend far beyond cancer treatment. The National Institutes of Health has published evidence confirming Vitamin C's anti-cancer properties.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2)
IN A NUTSHELL: Hydrogen peroxide is produced by most cells of the body for many different physiological reasons. One of the most important is to produce H2O2 as a first line of defense against bacteria, yeast, virus, parasites, macrophages, and most fungi. This therapy is most helpful for any kind of infection or immune dysfunction, whether chronic, or acute. This therapy also makes it easier for the liver and kidneys to remove toxins.
IN A NUTSHELL: Ketamine has been shown to relieve depressant symptoms within 24 hours and has an effective rate of 70% in treatment of resistant depression. Ketamine has also been shown to help relieve symptoms of chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, fibromyalgia and migraines.
IN A NUTSHELL: The Myer's Cocktail was pioneered more than fifty years ago by the late Dr. John Myers; and is a scientifically-formulated mixture of medical-grade nutrients. When vitamins and minerals are administered intravenously at higher doses than can be absorbed orally, they have a greater affect than mere nourishment. Vitamin C supports the adrenals and boosts the immune system, while the B vitamins soothes frayed nerves. This therapy treats a wide range of conditions and disorders.
PLAQUEX®
IN A NUTSHELL: The Plaquex® formula has been in use for the past 55 years in about one-fourth of the world's countries. Originally developed to dissolve fatty embolus during and after trauma surgery, it was also used to treat liver disease. In the 1990's, the use shifted to treating plaque deposits — mostly in combination with EDTA chelation infusions. Since then, results have been so dramatic, it has become a treatment in its own right.
POLY-MVA
IN A NUTSHELL: Poly MVA is a uniquely-formulated dietary supplement containing a proprietary blend of the mineral palladium bonded to alpha-lipoic acid, Vitamins B1, B2 and B12, formyl-methionine, N-acetyl cysteine, plus trace amounts of molybdenum, rhodium, and ruthenium. This formulation is designed to provide energy for compromised body systems by changing the electrical potential of human cells and facilitating aerobic metabolism within the cell.
ULTRAVIOLET BLOOD IRRADIATION
IN A NUTSHELL: It has long been understood that the sun has an ability to kill bacteria, heal infections, and energize the body with more energy. Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation Therapy (UBI) is able to help men and women utilize the healing power of the sun's rays through directly putting it into their bloodstream. Due to its profound photochemical, biochemical and physiological effects, it has been of great value in a wide variety of diseases.

Featured on Sunday July 13th, 2014 during an away match in front 64,207 at Century Link field in the second meeting of the regular season between the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders.
It's no easy feat to pull off a tifo. Between the planning and execution of the tifo there was a smattering of injuries, a celebration of our nation's freedom to work around and probably a couple babies born in Del Boca Vista.
The poem reflected the trials of Timbers supporters in 2014 and really, over the years. A reminder that our love of the club is born of disappointment, our resolve often tested, and when we suffer together as a family it makes our victories all the more sweeter.
Putting it together presented challenges including finding a warehouse big enough to fit 3,600 square feet of canvas and finding the time to realize this vision. There were many volunteers that put in full 8 hour shifts while juggling their normal lives and the 4th of July holiday weekend. Yet the challenges didn't end there as the tifo crew, tasked with not only creating the display but making sure the unveiling came off without a hitch or risk ending up becoming the next, "Bule." Their effort was commendable and soon became a shining moment in an otherwise dismal night for the Timbers.

Design / Life
Perth's growing population initiates a new way of living with the design-focused, German cooperative housing model Baugruppen.
Baugruppen is what happens when the developer is removed from the project equation and replaced with a group of people. With a strong focus on community, affordability, design and sustainability, the cooperative housing project, delivered by LandCorp and the University of Western Australia is new to Perth.
Fremantle architect, Michael Patroni of spaceagency, says he was excited when project leader and professor of architecture at UWA, Geoffrey London, invited him to be part of the innovative project.
"As with the single house, the individual or family can contract a designer/builder: no developer; no marketing; no stamp duty on the build cost, and the design can be customised to suit – the Baugruppen concept aims to deliver the same with an apartment, but this of course adds to the dynamic of working with a group," explains Michael Patroni. "This is an opportunity for us to be involved in an exciting new housing trend, that could advance the scope of available housing diversity and affordability, and as an architectural practice, to develop skills that may enable us to potentially self-generate projects in the future."
The Baugruppen model will improve infill in medium density housing, in areas with amenity.
To utilise the 2,000sqm site at WGV at White Gum Valley, the apartments are designed to slot and stack on top of one another in any configuration. Apartments range from a studio to three-bedroom floor-plan and are designed to have no common walls. Michael says the absence of common walls is a positive attribute of the design. No shared walls mean quality noise separation and the opportunity for decent natural light and cross ventilation.
"The plan developed from responding to a number of site generated conditions, primarily being a street exposure on all sides," he says. "Responding to all four street boundaries led to a plan characterised by a cluster of four buildings, each with a pair of apartments sharing an access core – a plan that has been described more like stacked houses rather than apartments."
There will be up to 18 dwellings in the development, ranging from an affordable $260,000 to $700,000, and in a bid to get the first Baugruppen project off the group, everyone involved is working pro-bono.
"Accepting the offer to be involved in this pilot project necessitated an initial pro-bono involvement, however, it is the intention that once this first project is underway it will return to commercial terms," says Michael. "Future projects will be able to take advantage of the intellectual property and experience the results from crafting this very first one in Australia."

Arroyo's EWTN show is anti-Francis, pro-Trump propaganda
Raymond Arroyo did nothing to challenge recent guest Steve Bannon

EWTN's iconic host, Raymond Arroyo, no longer even makes any attempt to appear balanced when discussing the church. If his guest is an ally, he displays no inquisitiveness in his interviews. This is not a news program anymore but simply a propaganda arm of the anti-Francis, pro-Trump Catholic brigade.
Last week's show was especially bad. First up was a segment with the "papal posse" — conservative writer Robert Royal and Fr. Gerald Murray — about the Washington appointment of Archbishop Wilton Gregory. Royal said that this appointment amounts to "Cardinal Wuerl by other means" and said he did not see this shift as a changing of the page. Arroyo said a Washington Catholic said the appointment amounted to "business as usual." Murray said Gregory needed to find out what happened in the McCarrick case, although there is nothing in the Washington archives that would explain how McCarrick came to be appointed to Washington.
Later in the segment, Arroyo brought up Pope Francis' comments on the death penalty during a press conference on the plane back from Morocco. Murray said: "This is an extremely serious problem, Raymond, the pope does not have the power to change the teaching of the church … that the death penalty is moral in some cases." He said that if Hitler has been executed it would have been a good thing. Note to Murray: When you invoke Nazi analogies, you have almost always lost your argument. Arroyo suggested the death penalty allows people to get their soul in order before death.
Then the posse moved on to criticize the pope because of his defense of migrants, and Royal noted that in Europe, the people are not in agreement with the pope, a criterion never introduced during the pontificate of John Paul II on, say, the issue of contraception. He echoed the kind of nationalistic impulses that we hear from right-wing politicians here in the U.S. and in Europe.
So, it was no surprise that the next guess was former White House aide and Trump confidant Steve Bannon. Arroyo began by quoting what the pope said about building walls to keep out migrants in the post-Morocco presser, and those who build them. Bannon said, "I've got a problem, not with the dogma, or the theology, but he has been after the populist, nationalist sovereignty movement since he became pope. … He takes the side of the globalists, the Macrons of the world, the Merkels of the world in every situation." When Arroyo said the pope would say he is merely applying church teaching, Bannon complained the pope was taking sides and that if he wanted to apply church teaching he should be talking about "sovereignty and subsidiarity."
It is hard watching this not to conclude that Bannon does not know the first thing about Catholic social teaching. Sovereignty is not a central concept in Catholic social teaching compared to, say, the universal destination of goods, which puts certain and clear moral limits on assertions of sovereignty at the expense of the common good and human decency.
Similarly, what does subsidiarity have to do with immigration issues? Bannon names some populist leaders and notes that they were elected by their people to address these issues. OK, but what does that have to do with subsidiarity?
Only in Bannon's crimped moral vision does opposition to right-wing populism make one necessarily a supporter of globalism, if by globalist you mean a commitment to neoliberal economics. Francis is the leading opponent of neoliberalism on the world stage, and he enjoyed that status before Trump became president or Matteo Salvini became deputy prime minister in Italy. He will enjoy it long after they depart the political stage, God willing. Francis, in a long line of Catholic teaching that stretches back to Pope Pius XI's condemnation of the "poisoned spring" of libertarianism, does not, and could not as pope, support neoliberal economics, but he also could not as pope endorse the hateful, bigoted world view of Bannon, Trump and others. I do not know about anyone else, but the fact that Bannon is so critical of Pope Francis only makes me love the Holy Father even more.
The conversation turned to China and the revival of a Committee on the Present Danger of which Bannon is a part. The former advisor asserts that China is an "existential threat" to the U.S. and they wish to become a new hegemon, that this has long been evident in their economic policies and now in their cyber-warfare efforts, and slides into a condemnation of the Vatican's agreement with the Chinese government that unified the two wings of the Catholic faith in that vast country. Bannon describes Retired Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen as "the holiest man in Asia," which might well be the case, but how would Bannon know?
People can debate the wisdom of the China deal from here to eternity. But, arguing that President Xi is "more radical than Mao Zedong" is the kind of excessive claim that undermines Bannon's argument. Bannon is not speaking to reason. He is speaking to "the deplorables," as he still refers to them, and soon enough is talking about J.D. Vance, "the great sociologist," and his book Hillbilly Elegy, and he defends Trump's trade talks with China, and says President Xi Jinping pursues "predatory capitalism" and the Catholics in China are the most saintly people in the world, and the Chinese will dominate advanced manufacturing, and he speaks so fast, and brings in so many references, that it is like watching the verbal equivalent of pinball. You want to shout "Tilt" at the TV screen. It is easy to see how this man could mesmerize Donald Trump as effectively as Rasputin mesmerized the Empress Alexandra.
Bannon discussed the sex abuse crisis — "leave the theology aside, leave the dogma aside" — and predicted the Catholic Church would be liquidated financially in the years ahead as the federal government pursues Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, investigations. He said the only remedy was for the laity to step up, "conservative Catholics and progressives, leave your politics aside," and essentially take over all administrative functions of the church. It is worrisome to see him parrot the talking points of the Napa Institute so effectively. And, like them, his constant invocations to "leave aside" important tradition and convictions makes me think that he is the kind of zealot who thinks anyone who disagrees with him must have bad motives or some kind of invincible ignorance, so clear is the truth of his worldview. Such zeal is profoundly dangerous.
The conversation finished with a discussion of Bannon's own institute, absurdly named the Dignitatis Humanae Institute. I am willing to bet Bannon has a rather limited grasp of the theological issues involved in the document that has lent its name to his institute. Bannon calls it his "gladiator school," praises Marine Le Pen for a similar project, states the goal is "to help educate people on the tenets of the Judeo-Christian West," and "instill the single-mindedness of a gladiator," so they can defend the Treaty of Westphalia and he repeats the phrase "the Judeo-Christian West" as if it is a magic spell. I am guessing there are whole aspects of the Judeo-Christian tradition that will not be a central focus at this gladiator school: for example, do you think Bannon realizes that gladiators were slaves?
I kept wondering: When would Arroyo push back against Bannon's facile discussion of politics and asinine discussion of church teaching? When would he probe more deeply, get past the fast-paced slogans? Nope. His interview of Bannon had all the journalistic integrity of Laura Ingraham's interview with the president. The follow-up questions were of the "tell us again if you are the greatest of all time, or only the greatest since Lincoln?" quality, not exactly designed to reveal what is hidden or expand the audience's knowledge.
Is Arroyo auditioning for a regular spot on Fox News? They can have him. Arroyo has no place on a Catholic station.

Unsubscribe should set the contact's civicrm_group_contact.status to "Removed" for EACH GROUP that is a target of the mailing they are unsubscribing from. This applies to both static and smart groups. The code should check if a group_contact record exists for that group_id + contact_id. If exists, update status to "Removed", if not then INSERT a group_contact record with status = Removed. Note that this will always result in an INSERT for mailing recipients where they got the mailing due to being a "smart group" member. It will also result in INSERTs of a removed status for the case where the mailing was sent to 2+ static groups and contact was only a member of one (they will wind up being "Removed" from both). Lobo and I discussed this and feel that this simpler broad-brush approach is the best for now.

Pig 6 lesser-known compounds to control piglet diarrhea
6 lesser-known compounds to control piglet diarrhea
Author Ioannis Mavromichalis, Ph.D., publish date Saturday. March 9th, 2019
Beyond additives, fiber, protein and other common practices, there is an advanced level where piglet nutrition is examined under a magnifying glass to ensure that piglets do not suffer.
When formulating a diet for pigs, diarrhea remains a major concern for the nutritionist. In fact, the younger the animal that will receive the designed diet, the greater the risk of diarrhea. This is why some nutritionists avoid formulating diets for piglets, while they feel quite comfortable formulating diets for older pigs. No matter the cost, or the marketing hype, if a piglet diet leads to diarrhea, then all is lost: business, credibility, even your job.
In fact, controlling or preventing piglet diarrhea remains a hot topic among nutritionists and nutrition suppliers — more so now that we no longer have old, trusty antibiotics to keep gut microbiota under strict control. It's not that back then we had absolutely no diarrheas; to the contrary, diarrheas were often. However, let us admit it, without antibiotics life has become "more interesting" for all of us — except for the piglets, of course!
In reality, nutritionists always had, and continue to have, a plethora of good, alternative products that they use to control diarrhea. Indeed, so big has the business around these products grown in the wake of the antibiotic ban that whole industries have made a living out of it, and continue to rightly do so. Examples of the most common additives of this nature include organic acids, zinc and copper inorganic compounds, specialty fibers, probiotics and immunoglobulins. The list is long, and if one could use them all there would be no space — let alone cost — for normal ingredients like corn and soy. But, nutritionists know better than that, and they choose the right blend of additives for each diet they design.
Lesser-known additives
Apart from the more common additives or compounds that control diarrhea, there is a smaller and lesser-known group of products that can also be used toward the same goal. Perhaps their use should not be considered as a replacement for other more powerful compounds, but rather as an auxiliary solution that complements the right additives mix/profile. The following list is based more on (my) experience rather than extensive (public) research because, as you will realize, commercial interest has been scant. This is often because margins are tight, suppliers do not know how to market their products for the right purpose and because we are unaware how to handle some really common ingredients — and who is going to pay for research on negative feedback now that public funded university trials are but a reminiscent of old times?
1. Betaine
Betaine has many functions, one of which is to keep water inside the cells; in other words, it helps avoid dehydration, a phenomenon very common during heat-stress periods or after an outbreak of diarrhea. Its osmoregulating properties work with the electrolytes to ensure cells do not lose excessive water when stressed by external factors. As such, having some betaine has been proven a sound practice in some feeds for piglets prone to diarrheas. The exact amount differs according to each nutritionist, but in reality, there are no real dose-titration studies, whereas betaine is rather expensive, so normal dosages are rather low to be truly effective.
2. Sugar beet pulp
Betaine took its name from the ingredient where it was first discovered: sugar beets. So, sugar beep pulp (dried), a byproduct of the table sugar extraction process, is a rich source of betaine. It also contains a very interesting and currently undervalued fiber profile, in which pectins abound. Sugar beet pulp is characterized by its great water-holding capacity, acting as a natural gut sponge. A moderate amount of dried beet pulp can control gut moisture, but too much of this good ingredient will cause pigs to feel satiated fast, and thus it reduces actual nutrient ingestion.
An interesting clay, under several names, bentonite has a perplexing chemical and scientific background that has caused wars among chemists. Whatever product/brand/name you choose to use, make sure it is the variety that has the greatest possible holding capacity. This clay also acts as a sponge, but it does not cause satiety. Instead, it binds some useful vitamins, minerals and other such interesting and expensive nutrients, so it is not without its own problems. Moderation is rather uneventful with this ingredient, so one has to weigh the benefits of using the full dosage against all possible negatives. What is a "full dosage" is a matter of discussion, as nutritionists have agreed to disagree once more.
4. Potassium
This is an unlikely ally in controlling diarrhea because potassium causes water excretion, and excessive potassium will even cause dehydration. On the other hand, too much sodium (salt) will cause water retention (these two work against each other) and also cause thirst, excessive water intake and liquid fecal matter. Sodium is an element added in summer packages to keep pigs drinking (hydrated), and almost all piglet diets contain high levels of sodium because it helps piglets eat more feed. So, some controlled levels of potassium should be added to ensure a balance for proper kidney functioning. Balance is the key word here, but while we know how much sodium to add, potassium levels remain a trade secret — and rightly so because no public funding has been expended to investigate this otherwise ungraceful (read, no commercial margin) nutrient.
5. Sugars
Few recognize that sugars are hydroscopic — that is, they attract water. Yet, we all know how easily table sugar is dissolved in a glass of water. Adding sugars in piglet diets causes a mild laxative effect (soft feces) that is not pathogenic, but it is rather unacceptable. Lactose is also a sugar, and as such also a laxative, albeit a milder one than table sugar. Piglet diets rich in table sugar, glucose and lactose are prone to cause water leakage in the gut. If this is combined with other summer-related issues, we can have an osmotic diarrhea that looks like a big problem. Thus, keeping an eye on lactose (and equivalents) levels is always a good idea. A single sugar product exists that actually works the opposite direction from all other sugars, but this is beyond advanced level.
6. Glycinin and beta-conglycinin
We would not normally discuss these compounds if they were not causing an inflammation reaction to naive piglets akin to a peanut allergy. It is an autoimmune reaction leading to gut inflammation, destruction of gut surface and mayhem in general, leading to diarrhea that can become rapidly pathogenic. Now, where do we encounter these exotically named compounds to justify their inclusion in our discussion? Why, they are the major proteins in all soybeans! So, we feed them anyway every time we feed soybeans to our pigs. Piglets develop immunity quickly, but not before they suffer from it. The extent of the damage is a matter of discussion as it verges from nil, to subclinical and all the way up to a severe, acute, clinical, call-the-vet situation. Luckily, there are certain soybean products that bypass this issue, but for that we need another time to discuss it in more depth.
Proper nutrition utilizing modern knowledge
Summer formulas are not as easy as dropping fiber and protein levels, adding some salts and being done with it. This might have worked in the past, but with modern animals, we need to consider even the finer details to ensure maximal productivity and efficiency. And, we have not even discussed vitamins and their role in highly stressed animals. All in all, it is very interesting times to be a nutritionist, but never a good time to be a badly nourished, weaned piglet — so let's give them some proper nutrition through feed and water utilizing all modern knowledge.

I would like to raise the practical issue of Recipients – in the main – wishing that Donor not be informed of any subsequent birth (or lack thereof) resulting from her donation. I don't think Donors should be required to be informed if a child resulting from their donation has a health issue which could be an unsuspectingly held issue of the Donor, too. An adoptive parent would not be obligated to inform a birth parent if adoptee exhibited a health issue later in life that was unknown to birth parent at time adoptee born.
Yes but the difference Sandy is, as you know, persons who are egg donors often repeat as donors so there's a practical reason to inform the donor that the 1 year old child resulting from her egg donation has a previously unsuspected genetic disorder since her future donated children may have same as well.
I agree with that, but I think we have to weigh the practical issues related to having this language in the ED Agreement (when IPs probably don't want to even inform donor of a pregnancy and donor does not want to be tracked down in the future). One would hope that if a previously untestable genetic abnormality appears in a child created through egg donation, that the parents of that child would be concerned enough to alert the IVF facility, the donor program, and ultimately the donor herself. But inserting language right in the ED Agreement to cover this remote possibility (with the relative value of such language resting with its expression of intent and not with its power of enforcement for a matter such as this, really) does more harm than good, I think. IPs and Donors will be frightened and concerned and a fragile relationship which is entering a critical stage could be upended.
My dissenting opinion as to this small part of your thoughtful analysis.

Chelsea on-loan striker Michy Batshuayi established himself as the first player to score in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, and the Ligue 1.
The Belgian was signed by Antonio Conte in a £33m deal and managed just 7 Premier Leagues in 32 games for Chelsea.
He was sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund last season and scored 7 goals for the Bundesliga outfit in 10 games before sustaining an injury.
Regardless, the player still fancies his chances at Chelsea going by the performances that Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have put up thus far in the ongoing season.
He revealed that he was not intent on making a permanent move away from Chelsea in a chat with The Times.
Chelsea are yet to suffer a defeat this term, and with regards to Batshuayi's chances at Stamford Bridge, it remains to be seen if Maurizio Sarri rates him enough to give him a chance.
Meanwhile, the Belgian is hoping to make a big impact when Valencia takes on Manchester United in the Champions League at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Q: Zend Framework - Set No Layout for Controller I have a Controller that I want to use for ajax scripts to call and set session variables, get information, etc. How do I set it so that that particular controller doesn't use the default layout (specifically NO layout) so that it can send XML/JSON messages back and forth?

A: in your controller ...
public function init() {
    if ($this->getRequest()->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
        // no Layout
        $this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
        // no views
        $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
    }
}

A: In your controller action, try
$this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();

A: Like anything to do with Zend_Framework and Zend_Application, there are multiple ways to do this, but on the last few pure Zend gigs I've done, I've seen people using the following (from an action method in you controller)
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();

This shuts off of the layout.  If you wanted to turn off your view as well, you could use
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

again, from an action method in the controller.


What is a hookah. Is a hookah harmful or not?
Is a hookah harmful or not?
Hookah (calabash, hooka, kalian,	calean, chillum, sheesha, nargile, nargilly, shisha, water-pipe, nargileh, hubble bubble) – is a smoking instrument, in which the inhaled smoke gets filtered through the liquid (water, wine or other liquid mixture). The hookah was invented in India and quickly spread all over the Muslim world. In 19th century it becomes popular in Europe. Numerous tourists, who tried smoking hookah in Syria, Turkey or Iran, speak enthusiastically about their unusual sensations on returning. Today hookah becomes more and more popular in many countries. Its popularity grows, and zealous admirers of cigarettes gradually join the ranks of hookah admirers. Moreover there is a strong belief among the smokers, that hookah is not only more pleasant, but also not so harmful in comparison with cigarettes.
There is a special kind of tobacco (not cigarette tobacco) used for a water-pipe. It is humid, sticky and looks like a jam. There are two types of hookah tobaccos. The first one is called tumbak, it is "usual" tobacco, originated from Turkey and Iran. It contains a lot of nicotine. Before smoking it should be moistened by water, then wrung out and put into a hookah cup. The second type is mu'assel, originated from Egypt. It consists of syrup received from sugarcane and kinds of flavors (fruit, berries etc). In daily use such tobacco is called shisha.
From the first sight smoking hookah looks like quite a harmless pastime. The advertisers selling hookahs assure us, that all smoke gets filtered through the liquid, and all resin and the rest of disgusting things stay in the water.
Unlike cigarettes the hookah tobacco contains no paper, which keeps a lot of dangerous substances. During smoking tobacco doesn't touch the open fire, and doesn't burn, but dry up under the influence of high temperature. Therefore hookah smoke has no dangerous cancerogens, created as a product of combustion.
The smell of hookah has nothing in common with the smell of cigarettes. The hookah smoke is softer and has absolutely another taste. The hookah jar can be filled not only with water, but also with different aromatic liquids, juice, oil and wine. Desperate hookah admirers contrive to add stronger drinks there. Water-pipes are used for relieving stress, relaxation and easy conversation with friends and close ones.
In true within an hour of such smoking you get 100-200 times more smoke passed through your lungs, than when you smoke a cigarette. 45 minutes of hookah smoking give the organism 100-200 times more carbone monoxide, than contains in a pack of cigarettes.
Special hookah tobacco contains nicotine, and its concentration is 0,05 percent in 50 g pack. This means 50 g pack contains 25 mg of nicotine. Such pack is sufficient for four loads. It follows, that one load contains 6,25 mg of nicotine. For the information – a cigarette contains only 0,8 mg of nicotine. It is evident, there is 7,5 times more nicotine in the hookah. But we can hardly imagine the harm of water-pipe smoking in figures. Cigarette manufacturing has current standards, while hookah influence depends on many conditions: the quality and type of tobacco, temperature of burning. There are events of breathlessness and poisoning in practice of hookah smoking.
WHO (World Health Organization) representatives report, that hookah smokers have increased concentration of carboxyhemoglobin, nicotine, cotinine, arsenic, chromium and lead in their blood. Therefore smoking cigarettes and smoking a water-pipe have the same results: cardiovascular diseases, cancer of lungs and other organs, child-bearing pathology, pulmonary system disorder.
Experts in narcomania assert, that smoking hookah, like smoking cigarettes, follows to addiction. That is why people, who smoke hookah to get out of the habit of smoking, suffer from tobacco dependence.
And vice versa, non-smokers, who smoke hookah on a regular basis, risk of becoming nicotine addicted. Such people more often fall into depression, start smoking cigarettes or take medicine drugs. Nicotine deficiency in organism can be compensated with the help of hookah; it takes from 20 to 60 minutes. Common visitors attend hookah houses once or twice a week.
Several years ago German specialists from Federal Institute of Health Risks Research (Berlin) became concerned about the question of hookah smoking. After a long examination they concluded, that smoking a water-pipe brings more dangerous substances into organism, than smoking the strongest cigarettes without filter. The filter and water don't absorb dangerous substances but cool off the smoke, so it could reach the most distant parts of the lungs.
The investigation has shown the amount of nicotine in the blood of hookah smokers is higher, than in the blood of smokers of tobacco or usual cigarettes.
Also the German scientists found out, that temperature of cinder is more than 450°С, and during the session a hookah smoker inhales 500-600 cm3 of smoke. As a result in the course of time his lungs lose elasticity and can't get rid of toxic substances effectively.
If you smoke a water-pipe in a company, and the instrument is not disinfected, you may get infected with hepatitis, tuberculosis, herpes and other virus and fungus diseases. The hookah becomes a very dangerous device in this case.
According to WHO report, the hookah is not a harmless alternative to cigarettes.

The Worldfolio sits down with Martin Cristanto to discuss the banking sector in Equatorial Guinea and how BANGE bank is supporting economic development and the Horizon 2020 plan.
The economic and social development of Equatorial Guinea in recent years has naturally led to a boost in the country's financial system. Now, the great challenge of the Equatorial Guinean financial system is to translate this impulse into consolidation and stability over time. In this sense, companies, both national and international, will have an important role in its expansion. What is your vision on the role that the private sector is having in the consolidation of the financial system of Equatorial Guinea?
In the face of Horizon 2020, important steps have been taken to transform the country into a regional financial center. In this regard, critical structural reforms have been launched to strengthen the financial sector in the face of external shocks, while promoting financial inclusion and supporting the development of the private sector. Among the main achievements we can mention are the strengthening of the capacities of the personnel of the sector, and the finalization of the internal regulations and rules for the declaration of information to the supervisory bodies. In the future, efforts will be continued to maintain adequate capital reserves to guarantee the solvency and liquidity of the banks. Work will also be done to deepen the banking sector, while continuing to work closely with the regional authorities to strengthen banking supervision. effective.
The strategic Horizon 2020 plan is government oriented to open the economic range of the country by diversifying its resources beyond the energy sector and in this way reduce its oil dependence. What role do you consider the banking sector has in promoting the economic diversification of the country, and more specifically how does BANGE support other economic sectors other than energy?
The banking sector has played and will always play a fundamental role in the financing of the economy and for the development of non-oil sectors. Over the next few years it will be necessary to create jobs and many of these jobs will be created by small businesses, which are the engine of economic growth. In the case of the National Bank of Equatorial Guinea, we will rely on our strength and our presence in practically the whole country to contribute to the creation and growth of these companies, offering them a personalized service and advice, in addition to making available the financing they need.
BANGE has established a very important national expansion strategy and in 2017 it opened its first representative office in Madrid. Likewise, it has an important role in the CEMAC region by opening offices in markets such as Cameroon. Could you tell us about the next steps that BANGE will take to penetrate other markets?
Our position in Equatorial Guinea will continue to consolidate. We will continue to offer new products and services to keep our customers loyal, and we will also develop new services such as mobile banking that will help improve the rate of banking in the country. We will continue to increase our client portfolio, working on the greater linkage of these. We will be the first bank in the country in the services of electronic means of payment.
On the other hand, we are in the last phase of our National Expansion Plan, we will have branches in all provincial capitals and districts. In the CEMAC sub-region we will continue to promote our International Expansion Plan, this year we will open a branch in Cameroon and we are exploring other markets both inside and outside CEMAC.
For the second consecutive year BANGE has been selected as the "Bank of the Year" in Equatorial Guinea. This prize undoubtedly shows the good work of the bank. How did BANGE achieve to be awarded with such an important distinction?
Many factors have contributed to BANGE being recognized for the third consecutive year as the Bank of the Year in Equatorial Guinea. It can be highlighted: the strength of our balance sheet and our ability to continue generating results in a difficult economic environment; in addition to complying with all the prudential ratios required by the sub-regional banking regulator, the Banking Commission of Central Africa (COBAC); the development of multi-channel banking, with special attention to the consolidation of electronic payment services and internet banking; financial inclusion, through the provision of products and services to meet the needs.
The commercial relations between the United States and Equatorial Guinea are becoming stronger and a an example of this is the $2.4 billion expected in 2019 by the North American investment community.
What would you say are the main competitive advantages and opportunities that Equatorial Guinea presents for foreign investors?
The United States has been Equatorial Guinea's main partner in the exploitation of the country's oil resources. The second phase of the Equatorial Guinean Industrialization Plan (PEGUI), recently launched by the Government, stands out as pillars of development to diversify the economy: fishing, agriculture, mining, tourism and finance. For this reason, the Government has increased the incentives for attracting foreign investment. Within the framework of the PEGUI, a development the industrial city project in Mbini is being developed. It is an ambitious project that aims to achieve broad development in sectors such as the textile, petrochemicals, food and tobacco, wood and cork, furniture, metallurgy and sanitary industries.
In order to improve the business climate and facilitate the entry of investors, a single window has been created to streamline the procedures for the creation and establishment of companies. The legal framework that regulates investments in Equatorial Guinea has been created. Equatorial Guinea has been endowed with a very attractive investment code. All these factors make our country an attractive destination for doing business.
What final message would you like to send to American investors who are evaluating investing within the CEMAC region and why can Equatorial Guinea and BANGE be your strategic partner?
Knowledge of the environment is very important to conduct business; you have to know Equatorial Guinea to appreciate the potential of the country and exploit the investment opportunities that arise. For many potential investors a common mistake is wanting to know the country from a distance; you have to come to Equatorial Guinea.
In order to attract foreign investment, the Government has made great efforts to improve the business environment, to simplify the processes for the creation and establishment of companies. There have been great advances in investment protection and property rights. In short, Equatorial Guinea is making significant changes to provide itself with a favorable business environment to face the phase of economic diversification.
The message to investors interested in Equatorial Guinea as a destination for doing business is very clear. Our country has opted to diversify its economy and for this it has the private sector, and of course, this is a great opportunity for foreign companies that want to do business in the country.

In Host Game menu you wrote "Remote Strart Clients" instead of "Remote Start Clients"
Oooops! fixed. I am just about done! will be uploading to media file soon.
Here are the new links for Blood Dosbox Launcher. Sorry had to split the files into several zips.
Found a problem. Under the "Play Level" tab. When you check "No Monsters" box and select an episode and select and play a level. If you save the game in that level w/ no monsters checked and load the save back up. It crashes. Is there anything you can do about it?
Thank you so much for this, i am gonna try this out tonight.
One question though, is this like an improved launcher from the GOG version ?
I'll add that to my to do list. I working on a new Duke 3d laucher now. Adding better support for cd rom installs., and support for people with v1.3 and plutonium pack.
I made it for all versions, Retail CDrom, and GOG. Just remember to launch with admin rights if you installed in GOG default install location.
Does anyone have a PDF copy of Cryptic passage manual, and Blood Plasma Pak manual?
One new problem. The CD/OGG music doesn't seem to repeat after it finishes playing. Here's the link at GOG for this problem.
About the Plasma Pak manual scan. I have the manual at my Dad's house. So I'm thinking about scanning it and make a PDF out of it and give it to you. May take some time (week or so). We'll see. Unless someone else does it for you.
The DOSbox Launchers links at The Postmortem needs updating too.
and plays alot better now. I guess i need to add the ogg music files for cd-rom installs.
So are you gonna to implement these resolution and framerate tweaks w/ the rest of the other Build games Skulldog? Not only Blood but Duke Nukem 3d, Shadow Warrior & Redneck Rampage.
either gog cd image or the one you can download with Blood dosbox launcher.
New Version of Blood DosBox Launcher is now available.
This actually looks like a helpful launch aid. Before I bite and download all the stuff, how easy would it be for me to replace the mounting of the GOG or included music with my own prepared cuesheet with lossless verified rips?
Just, delete or rename GAME.INST , and then name your bin\cue BLOOD121.BIN , BLOOD121.CUE. It looks for GOG's GAME.INST first, then BLOOD121.CUE .
Track 09. As you can see. I will try this myself with other formats too.
I will add a way to select which Bin\cue sheet on next release. Just need to know, if I should use a folder called Music or just work out of the main directory?
I'd say keep it organized in a subfolder.
OK, That is what I will do.
So you're saying that you're gonna add custom soundtracks in the next release? Like playing a music cd off of the cd drive and typing commands to switch & repeat music tracks just like Shadow Warrior? And will the Music Folder support mp3's and midi's?
I will add a way to select which cue sheet on next release. Just need to know, if I should use a folder called Music or just work out of the main directory?
start the game. After the game is started you can't change anything.
Hey no problemo! Your newest Blood DOSBox launcher plays so much better. Thanks! Looking forward to the other Build DOSBox updates.
OK. I get it now. Sorry for the misunderstanding about the soundtrack thing.My head got screwed up and rushed into judgment.
Here is the new Blood DosBox Launcher update V4.4 .
Do I put the BDLSettings.ini in the CDIMAGES folder or the GOG/One Unit Whole Blood directory? Making sure as the instructions in the update didn't say where to put that file.
No, put all files into main directory from the update zip. CDIMAGES, is for Files that end with Inst, Gog, Bin, Cue, Wav, Ogg, and Mp3.
Why do people need launchers/frontends?
New problem w/ V4.4. When you check the "No CD music" box. The Cutscenes don't play. If you uncheck it, they play. Using the GOG version. Had it under the directory C:\GAMES\GOG\One Unit Whole Blood. I downloaded the V4.4 off of your new site.
I'll fix it in next release. That is because the gog.inst cd images has the music and the Cutscenes.

Luke Bryan and Son Bo Gave Katy Perry a 'Country Education' About Deer Pee
Jess Published: December 07, 2022
Luke Bryan is country music's ambassador on American Idol, and he takes his role very seriously, especially when it comes to the other judges. Recently he took it upon himself to educate Katy Perry on the finer points of deer hunting, specifically "doe pee."
While chatting with Audacy's Rob and Holly, Bryan shared a story from the set of the reality singing competition. While taking a break from filming, the country singer got a FaceTime call from his oldest son, Bo.
"So, Katy's listening to me talk to my 14-year-old, and he goes, 'Dad, do we have any doe pee around here?' Which is doe urine," he explains. "Watching Katy Perry try to figure out what the hell me and my son were talking about ... she was like, 'did your son just ask you do you have any dope around the house?'"
"I said, 'Katy, he's asking for doe pee,'" he continues. "And she goes, 'Luke urine from an animal?' I was like, 'Yes, that's what we use to bring the big bucks in.'"
Perry was born in Santa Barbara, Calif., and likely hasn't been deer hunting a day in her life. However, hunting is a big part of Bryan's life. The man even has a song titled "Huntin, Fishin, and Lovin' Every Day."
"I feel sorry for her and Lionel and the country education that they have to get from me," he admits. "They educate me on the ins and outs of [the] crazy California, Beverly Hills world and I educate them on hunting, fishing and loving every day."
Perry's fiance, however, got a hands-on country education. The "Country On" singer hosted Orlando Bloom at his house and took him on some outdoor adventures. In fact, Bryan says he and Bloom have a bit of a bromance that is brewing.
"Orlando came into Nashville and I had all these outdoor activities planned for him," Bryan tells Good Morning America. "So me and Orlando, our love is strong. Our love is strong."

Luke Bryan opened his Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre with a killer performance on Feb. 11, 2022, and pictures show a high-tech set that served as a backdrop to a stunning performance.
The superstar varied the setlist with selections from every era of his career, backed by sets and visuals that included explosive pyrotechnics, multi-level risers and a catwalk that brought him eye-to-eye with the fans in the upper levels.
