Spine: An Interview with Playwright Jennie Berman Eng on 'Whenever You're Near Me I Feel Sick' and The Women's Voices Theater Festival
Robert Michael Oliver
The Women's Voices Theater Festival, more than fifty world premiere plays written by women — now that's a happening!
I am as excited by the notion that stories from a woman's perspective will dominate DC's theatre scene over the next intense 6 weeks, as I am by the reality that many of these playwrights live and write in the Washington, DC area.
And, because there are 50 plus new plays, no "pipeline" or cultural "gatekeeper" has been hired to channel the content and, thus, stifle the dialogue. These new plays will speak directly to the local milieu, turning our theatrical culture into an artistic Petri dish, ideal for intense examination of a contemporary Nation's Capital.
I am fortunate enough to know two of these playwrights, Jennie Berman Eng and Patricia Connelly, through my connection to The Playwrights Forum, founded by local playwright Ernie Joselovitz. I am also directing Pat's Princess Margaret, which is running in repertory with Jennie's new comedy, Whenever You're Near Me I Feel Sick. Both are produced by Thelma Theatre.
I interviewed Jennie, one of Theatre J's Locally Grown Playwrights. Her play premieres this coming Thursday, September 17, 2015, at the Trinidad Theatre, the new Capital Fringe theatre at their Logan Fringe Arts Space at 1358 Florida Avenue, NE, in Washington, DC.
Michael: In a nutshell, and without spoiling anything, what is the story of Whenever You're Near Me I Feel Sick?
Jennie: Boy confesses love to girl, girl rebukes him. Girl spends the next decade wondering why she rebuked him, regrets her marriage, her kids, her career. Boy changes everything about him to please his wife, and feels lost. Girl and boy run into each other eight years later and finally have a chance at love.
I have to ask you about the title. From what strange place did you conceive that title?
Sometimes when my son asks me to sing to him I have a sudden and total lapse of memory. For no explicable reason, the only song I can recall is The Supremes' song, "I Hear A Symphony." It's kind of a lullaby, I guess. When I was titling the play, I thought about these characters, Wendy and Andre, and their lives and how the person they love most is also the one they pushed away. They spend much of their adulthood apart, but think of each other often. And when they think of the other, is it a pleasant thought? Or is it wrought with blame and anger and hurt and longing? I wondered what pop song The Supremes might sing about these very flawed characters. An image popped into my head of Diana Ross, in a long gown and huge up-do, cooing in her saccharine-sweet voice, "Whenever You're Near Me I Feel Sick", and Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard in the back going, "So Nauseous, baby, baby…" And then, that was it.

What ideas or images do you hope the audience will take away from this production?
This play is as much a love story as it is a story about a generation afraid to take a chance. These characters, Wendy and Andre, take the easy way out of a complicated relationship with each other, and marry other people. They have kids, and "good jobs", and find themselves unsatisfied with all of it. The image of Wendy trying to work from home while shushing her screaming baby is an image I'd like audiences to remember. Wendy does all the things she is supposed to do in life as an adult, and none of it makes her happy. The conversation I hope happens after this play, on the Metro, on foot, in cabs, or in cars leaving Florida Avenue, is "does adulthood have to look the same for everyone?" I want audiences to root for Wendy and Andre to get together and mourn if they do not.
A new script is like an architectural drawing for a house. What's it like watching it go up for the first time?
It feels like magic, every time, but this time strangely more so. I wrote the first scene of this play 11 years ago. I've worked on it in spurts over the years. Watching it go up is like reconnecting with an old friend (ironically, also the plot of the play). It's a great privilege to work with these talented actors. Watching this "house" go up with them, is like drawing a shed, and getting an adorable bungalow with a rose garden.
Wow, the first scene 11 years ago. When did you write the last scene and why did it take so long?
I wrote the rest of the play in the last three years. Why did it take so long? I guess the truth of it is that that first scene was supposed to only be a ten minute play. I took a look at it three years ago and became interested in the characters again. I wanted to see where they went after that first scene and what happened to them.
You are also directing the show. That's like two hats. Do you ever get in an argument with yourself about what you're doing with the text?
So when I said I wanted to direct this play myself a lot of people told me that was unwise and that it signaled a control problem within me. I knew what I wanted, though, and I'm glad I stuck to my plan. Whether I've done a good job or not remains to be seen, but the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. I will say to other playwrights looking to direct that you have to reconcile yourself to only playing the role of director. It's pretty hard to do both (work on the script and direct). I've added and removed a line here or there, but major revisions have not happened as a result of rehearsals.
What's it like being a part of this huge festival, of not only women playwrights, but of more than 50 mostly original stories all offered to 2015 theatre audiences?
I'm so proud and excited to be part of this historic festival. it's not just a festival of female playwrights, but also of world premiere plays. That's huge! There's going to be a vast range of female-written perspectives, which is important for audiences to see. Because of terms like "chick flick" and "chick lit" people often associate female-character-driven stories with one kind of story with predictable characters and structure. Having this festival will illuminate not only how many talented female playwrights there are, but also how unique their voices are. Or maybe we'll take back "Chick lit" and make it powerful.

Mallorca is known for its beaches, its climate, and its gastronomy but also for its cycling routes. Each year it is visited by hundreds of thousands of cyclists, exceeding 15,000 per year, which is why many consider the largest island as one of the mecca of this sport in Europe.
The reasons are diverse, for example, sunny weather, very well paved roads, spectacular scenery or the tranquillity of the island in low season. Whether you are amateur or professional, you can enjoy the best routes that we are going to show you.
This route is of medium difficulty, but it can be done by anyone. Part from Playa de Muro to Formentor. It is worth doing this route, as this section offers beautiful views from Sa Talaia d'Albercutx until the end of the journey.
This route is 110 km long and crosses the island from north to south, specifically from Pollença to Andratx. This is the most impressive route, as it crosses the highest points of the island, such as the Puig Major whose length is 13.7 km, its elevation difference is 818m and its average slope is 6%. Another attraction of the route are the localities located on the road, for example, Valldemossa, Deià or Banyalbufar.
Although at first it costs a bit to do it on your slopes, then it will be the opposite on the way back. In this journey, its landscapes, contact with nature and breathing fresh air while you feel the sea breeze makes it unique.
This route is more suitable for experts, since it is one of the sections with the greatest difficulty. It is composed of 54 peaks, all of them exceed 1000 meters high and accumulate more than 2340 meters of altitude in 77 km. The route begins in Sóller going up to the highest point of the island, the Puig Major, but after passing through the reservoirs of Gorg Blau and the Cúber it begins to descend until the ascent to the Monnàber tunnel.
This route leaves from Alaró to Orient. It is a low difficulty route that has become one of the most essential places to go cycling. Anyone who is starting in this type of adventure can enjoy this experience with beautiful views.
In the city you can also do bike tours. The best is the one through the promenade where there is a 13 km bike lane. It is a perfect stretch to go with children and enjoy the city at the same time. Another recommendable route is the one that departs from the Parc de la Mar to the Coll d'en Rabassa passing through the Nautical Club of the city, from there you can enjoy incredible views of the Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace, the Almudaina, the Palma monumental and the district of Calatrava.
Whether you are an adventurous professional or an amateur accompanied by your family, you can enjoy a variety of charming hotels in Mallorca. Insotel has at your disposal all kinds of services and facilities, these will be adapted to your needs so that your stay on the island is complete and unforgettable. Do not miss it!

US considering buying new Air Force One planes built for bankrupt Russian airline
Posted: Aug 1, 2017 9:06 PM EST
By Rene Marsh, Jon Ostrower and Ryan Browne
(CNN) -- The US Air Force is for now abandoning the idea of building new aircraft to become Air Force One from scratch due to concerns over costs. Instead they are considering reconfiguring a pair of jumbo Boeing 747-8 planes originally built for a defunct Russian airline that went bankrupt in 2015, according to a US official and another source close to the discussions.
The Russian airline never received the planes, according to two people familiar with the jets. They were flight tested but never delivered and instead the planes sat in storage. The source says at this point the "US Air Force believes it may be cheaper to convert these existing planes than build new ones."
One source and the US official stressed that the deal is not final.
But a handshake agreement on the aircraft could come within days, according to a person familiar with the deal, and a formal contract is expected to follow in the weeks to come.
The pair of aircraft were originally built in 2015. The Russian carrier went bankrupt and ceased operations in October 2015.
Tansaero had ordered three 747-8 intercontinental aircraft. Boeing recently removed three 747-8s from its ledger that were originally bound for the now-bankrupt Russian airline.
Boeing had also attempted to package the two jets as part of a deal with Iran Air, the person familiar with the deal said, but the carrier decided against the 747-8 and Airbus A380, each company's biggest jetliners.
An already-built 747-8 would offer huge savings for the Air Force. Much of the expensive work of creating a presidential Aircraft is done on a basic or "green" aircraft that is like an ordinary commercial airliner with no interiors. Those jets are then heavily modified for military operations. Whatever the Air Force orders would likely not have required significant changes to a commercial 747-8 before being modified.
The aircraft in question are currently located at an aircraft storage yard in Victorville, California, and are marked as property of Boeing, a person familiar with the aircraft told CNN.
A Boeing spokesman told CNN, "We're still working toward a deal to provide two 747-8s to the Air Force -- this deal is focused on providing a great value for the Air Force and the best price for the taxpayer."
The Air Force would not confirm that there is a plan to purchase the planes that were once intended for the now bankrupt Russian airline.
"We're working through the final stages of coordination to purchase two commercial 747-8 aircraft and expect to award a contract soon," an Air Force spokesperson, Ann Stefanek, told CNN Tuesday.
President Donald Trump had been fiercely critical of the cost of the new Air Force One program, officially referred to as the presidential aircraft. The new planes would replace the current VC-25 aircraft which first entered service in 1990.
"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!," Trump tweeted in December, shortly before taking office.
Defense One was first to report this story.

Action Mental Health rewards community efforts to promote better mental health and well-being
Schools, individuals and groups who go that extra mile to support the mental health and well-being of young people across Northern Ireland were rewarded today for their efforts by Action Mental Health.
To mark 2018's World Mental Health Day which is on the 10 Octopber each year, Action Mental Health unveiled the inaugural Head First Awards which recognise organisations and people within education and the community who avail of the pioneering mental health promotion work carried out by the charity's MensSana team.
The awards' ceremony was led by Cool FM radio presenter Paulo Ross, who has spoken publicly about his mother's mental health struggles in the past. He has said Action Mental Health's New Horizons recovery service had been life-changing.
Belfast Giants' chief coach Adam Keefe Belfast was also in attendance to hand out the specially-commissioned awards, hewn in Action Mental Health's trademark head shape.
The awards were conferred at W5 at the SSE Arena, on World Mental Health Day which this year focuses on 'Young People and Mental Health in a Changing World' – a theme very close to the heart of AMH's MensSana service.
MensSana provides tailored activities to support positive mental health and emotional well-being, directly in schools and across a variety of community-based organisations.
Encompassing age ranges from 8 to 25-year-olds and their key contacts, a variety of programmes are delivered in schools, youth clubs and community groups. The workshops are young people-friendly, positive, interactive and informative, exploring issues and facilitating discussion around issues of mental and emotional well-being.
The Head First awards celebrate exceptional commitment to mental and emotional well-being within the various education and community sectors. Nominees were selected based on their success in raising awareness of issues of mental health and well-being, tackling stigma, fundraising and championing young people's mental health during the academic year 2017 – 2018.
There was also a special award which recognises the outstanding efforts of one inspirational young person.
Winners were first shortlisted from a panel of MensSana project workers following assessment against agreed award criteria. A wide range of nominations were made by a panel of MensSana project workers, and winners were selected against agreed award criteria by a panel of judges.
The winner of each award receiced a framed certificate and personally inscribed Head First award.
The Results :-
Category 1 'Commitment to Mental Health and Well-being for the Community'
This award recognises the schools, colleges and community organisations who have supported AMH to reach a wider audience and raise the capacity of communities to support mental health and wellbeing throughout life.
This category recognises those who have gone above and beyond, taking a whole community approach to the promotion of mental health and wellbeing through engagement of teachers and parents, guardians or key contacts of young people as well as the young people themselves.
The standard of nominations received was extremely high and because of this, the panel felt it necessary to award additional Special Recognition and Highly Commended awards alongside the overall winner.
The nominations :
Andrews Memorial School – Comber
Glencraig Integrated Primary School – Holywood
St Colm's High School – Draperstown
South Eastern Regional College, Ballynahinch Campus
St Dominic's Grammar School – Belfast
Community Intercultural Program – Oasis Youth Centre, Portadown
St Columba's College – Newtownards
Special Recognition:
A nomination was received in this category for a community youth group which the panel felt showed extraordinary commitment to the mental health and well-being of young people and the wider community but it was felt that additional pressures faced by this community group made their achievements even more remarkable.
Oasis Youth Centre with Paulo Ross (Cool FM) and Adam Keefe (Belfast Giants)
The Community Intercultural Program at Oasis Youth Centre in Portadown stood out as a grass roots group taking positive action to address social exclusion, reaching out in their community through provision of the full range of AMH Mensana programmes, and extending key messages of positive health and well-being resulting in other community organisations in the local area also accessing resilience and well-being sessions.
St Colm's High School with Paulo Ross (Cool FM) and Adam Keefe (Belfast Giants)
Highly Commended was awarded to St Colm's High school – Draperstown who have fundraised and partnered with their local council to create a hub and fitness trail within the school which are open to pupils, staff and the wider community.
The panel felt St Colm's nomination demonstrated the schools approach to wider engagement with the community and a holistic approach to mental and emotional well-being.
St Dominic's Grammar School for Girls with Paulo Ross (Cool FM) and Adam Keefe (Belfast Giants)
Winner of the Commitment to Well-being for the Community Award :- St Dominic's Grammar School for Girls, Belfast
The winners of this category have accessed resilience and wellbeing sessions for students across their entire schools as well as working with AMH to offer mental health and well-being sessions for all staff and hosting health events for parents and carers over a period of four years.
The positive attitude of the school to promotion of wellbeing is evident also in the recommendations made to partner schools in West Belfast which has resulted in another 11 school's in the area partnering with AMH Mensana to extend provision of mental and emotional wellbeing interventions to young people and those who care for them. The shortlisting panel remarked on the schools commitment to reaching out and to embedding health and wellbeing within the school and wider community.
Category 2 'Fundraising Initiative'
As you will no doubt be aware, charitable donations play a hugely important role in the work Action Mental Health does to deliver vitally important work in schools and community organisations throughout Northern Ireland.
The Fundraising Initiative Award is all about those people who have gone the extra mile.
It's not just about the fundraising figures, the award recognises those that have got their whole organisation and community behind them in their fundraising efforts, groups that have used their fundraising to raise awareness of the very great need for better mental health promotion and provision for our children and young people.
Sandleford Special School, Coleraine
Andrews Memorial School, Comber
Royal School, Dungannon
Enniskillen Royal Grammar school
Cafre Equine College Enniskillen
Ballyvester Primary School
Donegal Road Primary School
St Joseph's Convent Grammar
Coleraine Grammar school
Again the judges where blown away by some of the initiatives and had to award a Highly Commended in this category, alongside our overall winner.
Highly Commended Award – Sandelford Special School who raised over 5 and a half thousand pounds for AMH through Belfast City Marathon and by hosting a Great Big Purple Picnic for Mental Health Awareness Week.
Aside from the very impressive achievement of raising so much money, the panel felt that the school demonstrated a commitment to a community well-being as they had involved the children, teaching staff and parents.
Winner:- CAFRE Equine College Enniskillen
For our winner the judges noted that an entire year had been dedicated to fundraising for AMH with a range of events hosted including a Christmas show and Quiz, a pyjamas and movie day, and a 'Hell on the Hill' Challenge Obstacle race.
Students had also visited their local AMH New Horizons Service to meet and speak with some of the service users. The panel were particularly impressed by the fact that the initiatives were all student led and had involved partnership working and communicating key messages to peers.
Category 3: Raising Awareness and Tackling Stigma
This award recognises a school, college or organisation which has taken a proactive approach to tackling the stigma of mental health and its impact on young people, providing a voice for young people's mental health through their activities.
St Brigid's Primary – Mayogall
St Oliver Plunkett's Primary School – Belfast
National Citizen Service Omagh
Prince's Trust Limavady
Ballysillan Primary School Belfast
Lismore Comprehensive – Craigavon
Prince's Trust Strabane
Carrickfergus Grammar School
With so many fantastic nominees, the judges found this category particularly difficult to judge.
Everyone in this category has worked especially hard to support AMH in addressing stigma and getting key messages for mental health and well-being out to those who may be struggling or who may be in a position to help.
The nominations included examples such as creation of videos and animations, use of social media, specific campaigns to raise awareness, assemblies dedicated to mental and emotional wellbeing, and even a 'wall of good vibes' at a local music festival.
Following a very long process of deliberation, the panel did reach a conclusion and agreed it was not possible to select just one winner therefore we have two joint winners.
Winners:- Carrickfergus Grammar.
This school has shown an exemplary commitment to the resilience and well-being, not only of their students but of all young people in Northern Ireland.
They have worked with The Initiative project to offer mental and emotional well-being sessions to all staff and students – and they dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to a co-production project which involved their students scripting and producing a film which is now used in sessions and on the project website.
The principal, Kieran Mulvenna, has been a key enabler in all of this work, going above and beyond to support young people to address stigma and acting as a spokesperson for young people and for schools in media interviews to highlight the need for this work in schools.
The panel agreed this school showed leadership and empowered young people to take the lead by example.
Winner: Lismore Comprehensive.
Lismore have shown incredible leadership in providing a voice for young people's mental health.
Through a very impressive programme of initiatives including development of a resource pack for promotion of positive mental and emotional well-being for young people, supporting and training a mentoring group to be mental health ambassadors and annual health fairs, this school have set out to show young people ………… that it is 'okay to not be okay' and have involved their students in doing so.
The panel were blown away by the breadth of the activities undertaken and felt this nomination showed how positive messaging around mental and emotional well-being could be embedded to consistently raise awareness and address stigma.
Category 4: Championing Young People's Mental Health
This category recognises the efforts and contributions of individuals who have shown a dedicated personal commitment to improving the emotional wellbeing and resilience of young people and individuals who have worked with AMH, while going above and beyond what could be expected of them in their role, through activities such as organising training, acting as a spokesperson for the media or promoting wellbeing information in their schools or community.
The nominations:
Paul Walsh – South Eastern Regional College
Liam McGuinness – St Malachys College, Belfast
Helen Shields – Newry High School
Caoimhe Devlin – St. Ronans College, Lurgan
Brian Treacy – Holy Trinity Primary School, Enniskillen
Michele Shaw – St Colm's Primary School Portstewart
Francis Pepin, Loreto College, Coleraine
Geraldine Keenan, Hydebank College
Jackie Stanfield, Hydebank College
Once again the calibre of those nominated was incredible and the panel were highly impressed by the dedication and sheer effort of all those shortlisted in helping to make a real difference to the wellbeing and future health outcomes of the people they work with.
In fact, the quality was so high that the judging team felt it was only right to have not one, but two highly commended awards for two very deserving individuals who stood out in the already very impressive list of achievements. Both of these nominees have shown personal commitment to improving the well-being and resilience of the young people they work with.
Highly Commended : Caoimhe Devlin from Saint Ronan's College Lurgan.
Caoimhe has shown leadership in supporting the young people she works with, and her colleagues during a time of significant change.
As the school was created from three schools amalgamated into one, Caoimhe identified that extra support was essential for the young people involved in this transition.
She then brought organisations who could help such as AMH Mensana together to offer Health fairs and wellbeing sessions, while also involving young people in supporting their peers through promotion of positive wellbeing messages at assemblies and through the establishment of mental health ambassadors within the school.
The panel agreed Caoimhe has shown personal commitment, dedicating her own time and taking the initiative to involve young people in improving the mental and emotional wellbeing of their peers and key contacts and deserving of a highly commended award.
Highly Commended award : Brian Treacy, Principal of Holy Trinity Primary School, Enniskillen.
Brian has been proactive in promotion of mental health awareness amongst primary schools and parents in Enniskillen and throughout Fermanagh.
He took the initiative to attend the local Family Early Intervention hub meetings where he was made aware of AMH Mensana services.
From there he organised Healthy Me sessions for the children and teachers in his school and shared information out through the Enniskillen Cluster schools programme.
Brian has organised two health and wellbeing months for children and parents… and has encouraged involvement of teachers and children in promoting messages of positive mental health and wellbeing through the creation of a 'Healthy Me' wall in the school.
The panel felt Brian's actions demonstrated innovation and leadership and that he deserved recognition for the use of his position to positively influence others.
Winner : Geraldine Keenan from Hydebank College Learning and Skills department and the pastoral care team within the safer custody department.
Geraldine is a glowing example of what it takes to be a young person's mental health champion.
She works in a very challenging environment with young people who are marginalised and experience significant barriers to positive mental and emotional well-being.
The nomination noted the support Geraldine has offered to AMH Mensana to both reach and engage with young people who most need our services, but who are traditionally least likely to come forward.
Through her work in supporting young people they have directly encouraged engagement, and on a wider level within the work environment, they have promoted AMH Mensana programmes and contributed time and expertise to evaluations and funding bids, linking colleagues and young people with the project workers.
Over the last 5 years, Geraldine has been absolutely integral to the involvement of young people in Mensana services in Hydebank college.
The panel agreed Geraldine fits the brief for our 'Young Peoples Mental Health Champion' going above and beyond to promote and support young people's mental health and wellbeing.
Category 5 : Inspirational Young Person of the Year
Winner – Katie Graden Spence
This award recognises the efforts of an individual young person who has gone above and beyond to raise awareness of mental health and draw greater public attention to the need for improved resilience and well-being within local communities.
Katie raised over £1,000 for Action Mental Health by walking 297 miles – a very significant distance as each mile represented one of the deaths by suicide in Northern Ireland in 2017.
A very impressive and heartfelt fundraising feat made even more remarkable by the fact that she was then able to obtain all-party political support for her efforts which is quite the achievement in Northern Ireland.
Beyond that, this year's winner has shown an incredible passion for developing mental health care for young people, not only in her own community but across the country.
This is being achieved through her ambition to establish a student led mental health and well-being committee for every school here, a proposal very close to the heart and work of AMH.
Her plans are already achieving success and she recently delivered her proposal to the Department of Education and the All Party Group on Mental Health with a number of potential one-year pilot schemes also receiving a lot of interest from local schools and universities.
Her drive to promote mental health, well-being and resilience in schools inspired the judges. However, her determination to make it a reality through direct political engagement completely blew them away.
Congratulations to all our nominees and winners!

Chobani Yogurt Meant for U.S. Olympic Athletes Is Having Serious Customs Issues
bpende/Flickr
It seems the Sochi games are just a wee bit disorganized. According to Grub Street, among the grievances thus far is a yogurt situation. A whole lot of Chobani Greek yogurt that's meant for the U.S. Olympic team is being held at Newark International Airport in New Jersey. Apparently the Russian Federation's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance has not yet signed off on clearing the yogurt for customs. The USDA even completed a "sanitary certificate," which verifies that the yogurt meets Russia's food-safety laws, however, there's still no movement on the Sochi side. Only U.S. athletes will be eating the yogurt, but that hasn't seem to help the cause at all either. Even a U.S. senator has gotten involved by reaching out to Ambassador Kislyak in an attempt to get the U.S. "Olympic athletes and employees a nutritious and delicious breakfast — Chobani Greek Yogurt."

Inquiry Question: Do peer and self-assessment in conjunction with improvisation improve students' ability to analyze, create and perform scripted scenes?
The Arts Achieve assessments identified a gap in 8th grade students' abilities to construct a scripted scene. To address this challenge, the teacher identified clear learning targets for each session of the playwriting unit. A series of criterion-based checklists were designed and integrated into the unit to improve students' revision process and focus students' self-assessment and peer feedback (see Criteria Checklist: Monologues and Scenes and Task Sheets).
The Playwriting Unit is focused on creating original monologues and scenes focused on the social issues of peer mistreatment and bullying. Students identify a personal area of interest within the theme being explored and engage in research that will inform their acting and writing processes. Students then improvise scenes and develop narratives around the common theme of bullying.
To better support student achievement of both Common Core ELA standards in writing and NYC Blueprint Standards in Theater, students were provided with a series of detailed checklists to assess their own and their peers' written monologues and scenes. Peer feedback guided by the criteria checklists was provided both in written and oral forms. The Ladder of Feedback Protocol was used to structure specific, constructive critique that would inform revision of monologues and scenes. At the end of the unit, the teacher used the Monologue and Scene Checklists to summatively assess the written monologue and scene work and give students their Playwriting Unit grades.
Students used the Explain Everything app on the iPads to record feedback and to document students' writing and acting progress.

Drop-In Yoga
On-Going Events
Remembering Nina Johnson
May 5, 1925 – July 2, 2020
by Wesley Van Linda
Our dear teacher and friend Nina Johnson started the Yoga Society of Milwaukee in late 1971 at the direction of Swami Rama. Wishing to give a talk in Milwaukee, Swamiji asked his Chicago students to make a list of local Milwaukee yoga teachers. As I remember the story, those students put names on small index cards, and when Swamiji picked them up, Nina's card fell out! They met, and he initiated Nina in July,1971. Saying that he would help her, Swamiji also suggested that she open a center.
Nina began her yoga practice in 1965 because of severe curvature of the spine. Her chiropractor suggested yoga as a way to relieve back pain. Her teacher Mrs. Ritchy taught at the local YMCA. When she retired, she asked Nina to be her successor. (Many Milwaukeeans became familiar with another of Mrs. Richy's students, Kathleen Hitchcock, who also began teaching and produced a local TV show on yoga which aired early every morning for many years.).
I met Nina in October of 1971. I heard about Nina's yoga class from a friend in one of my university classes. Her class was held in the parlor of a small church near the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. After class I spoke with Nina who said she recently met a yoga master named Swami Rama. She gave me two books he had written, Lectures on Yoga and the Kathopanishad. Both had been printed and published by the Himalayan Institute in India.
When I started attending her classes, Nina and I became friends. I learned that she was from Louisville, Kentucky, that her husband was a speech writer for the long time mayor of Milwaukee, and that she had two adopted children. She also cared for her elderly mother.
Nina had been immediately and deeply moved by her experience with Swami Rama. She recognized him as a master. She wanted to learn from him and to be enlightened. Since at the time, Nina had several friends who were interested in esoteric studies, the idea of enlightenment was not new to her. She told me that when Swami returned in spring, I should meet him.
I met Swamiji at 10 am on May 14, 1972, in a downtown hotel. He greeted me with a big hug and said that he was glad that I had come-he had a lot to teach me. Again offering his help, he encouraged me to help Nina establish a center and to start teaching yoga and meditation. He then initiated me into the Tradition and spoke to me for a while about personal issues. As it was for Nina, meeting Swamiji was a deeply moving and life changing experience for me.
The Yoga Society
The Yoga Society of Milwaukee officially opened later that year when we rented a small apartment above a pet store in a local, east side neighborhood. Only a couple of other yoga classes were offered in Milwaukee at that time, and our classes filled up quickly. Swamiji also started to come more often, sometimes weekly, to lecture and teach when he was in the US.
We began visiting Swamiji at one of his student's homes in northern Illinois and at the Northwest Yoga Center which was in a storefront. We also met at a farm in Barrington, Illinois. and later at the Glenview Center. During those early years, we saw Swamiji often, and he was usually available for questions.
In the summer of 1972 Swamiji led a 10-day retreat in Wheaton, Illinois. At the time, most of us were interested in yoga and meditation for spiritual development. We were new to the Tradition, but he lovingly and patiently led us through the practices and explained the teachings.
Nina and I became board members of the Himalayan Institute and were charter members of the Himalayan Institute Yoga Teachers Association which was headed by Jackie Hornberger at Glenview. We knew about Swamiji's other centers and met several of his students when they came to the Institute.
Early in 1974 Swamiji organized the Kumbha Mela trip. It was an amazing experience. Our group was given priority treatment as the police chief in Haridwar was one of his students. We had the opportunity to visit some of the great living Masters of our time including Anandamaya Ma, Gopal Singh, Devraha Baba, Tat Walla Baba and others whose names I no longer recall. Several students have written about this experience including Swami Jaidev (Justin O'Brien) in his book, Walking with a Himalayan Master.
Also in 1974 Swamiji trained Nina to initiate students on his behalf. She was very hesitant at first, but her faith in Swamiji was firm. We had moved into a new center and our classes were often full. Swamiji lectured at the Shorewood Woman's club in Hubbard Park and met individually with students.
In 1975 there was a fire in our building. Larry Xavier (Virat) was living at the center and luckily escaped unharmed, but the building was destroyed, and we had to move. (We still have a photo of Swamiji, one that survived the fire, hanging at our Center.)
Later that year Swamiji suggested I start a business – a bookstore. I opened AUM Books opened in the fall of 1975. At the time Swami Ajaya owned a successful new age store in Madison, Wisconsin, called Shakti Books, and the Institute opened a store in Chicago called East West books that was, for a time, run by Gus Gatto.
Over the years our center grew. Some students left, but new students came. My business prospered, and there were long periods of time when I didn't see Nina, but she continued to guide our Center. We also sponsored a series of annual retreats with Swamiji, Dr. Arya, and other teachers at the Baptist Retreat Center in Green Lake, Wisconsin, and at the Holy Hill Shrine.
Move to India
Nina with Swami Hari
Some years after Swamiji left his body, Nina began studying with Swami Hariharananda Bharati. Swami Hari lived in the village of Malethi in the Himalayas. He came to the US to raise funds for Sriverm, a school he had started in Malethi. Nina looked to him for guidance in her practice.
After Nina's husband and mother (who lived to be 107) died, Nina wanted to move to India. Swamiji had told her that she would eventually go to the mountains to be with him, and it was something she longed for. She soon left for India accompanied by her close friend and student Ginny Lechtenberg. From then on, Nina and Ginny spent most of the year in India. Traveling was difficult and the living conditions were rough, but she said it was the best place for her practice. Each year she returned for a couple of months to teach at the Center. Swamiji told her she would be teaching until she died.
When we were younger Nina would often say, "I don't know what I'm doing. I just do what Swami tells me to do." Later, when she spoke about her practice it was with great clarity. She spoke about the beauty and the bliss of her meditation experience and about the constant presence of Swamiji in her life. Outwardly she was the same person, but those close to her knew that she had made profound progress in her practice.
She never lost faith in Swami Rama and always felt his guidance. He was constantly in her thoughts, and she meticulously followed his advice. She never missed her daily practice. In my classes I have often used Nina as an example as someone who had great success with meditation simply by doing a regular practice over a long period of time.
Nina told us she didn't spend a lot of time with Swamiji. She never imposed herself on him, yet she was very close to him. As she said, "Swamiji was never a person to me. Rather he was always simply a presence." She spoke simply about meditation and was direct in her instructions to students. She was dedicated, loyal and loving. She remained close to many of us over the decades of her life. She made each of us feel special.
For over 49 years she was the guiding force of our Center. She initiated close to a thousand students and even after moving to India continued to visit our Center and teach. We were very lucky to have her in our lives and for bringing Swami Rama and the teachings of the Himalayan Masters.
Our Center now has a small, dedicated group of meditators. We continue, in our small way, to promote and follow the teachings of Swami Rama and the Himalayan Tradition. Many of our students didn't know Swamiji but were inspired by Nina. We are grateful to her and to all the teachers in our Tradition who have guided us on the path and to all our guru family around the world who continue to inspire us.
Nina left her body on July 2, 2020, at 10:03 pm, local time, in the village of Malethi, in the mountains of India. With the blessings of her children, her body was cremated several days later.
OM Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi.

CDPH Issues Warning about Dungeness and Rock Crabs Caught in Waters Along the Central and Northern California Coast
Number: 15-082
Contact: Anita Gore, Orville Thomas - (916) 440-7259
SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today advised consumers not to eat Dungeness and Rock crabs caught in waters between the Oregon border and the southern Santa Barbara County line, due to the detection of dangerous levels of domoic acid, a naturally occurring toxin.
Recent test results have shown persistently high levels of domoic acid in Dungeness crab and Rock crab, which have been caught along the California coastline. The levels have exceeded the State's action level for the crabs' body meat as well as the viscera, commonly referred to as crab butter, and therefore pose a significant risk to the public if they are consumed.
CDPH staff collects viscera from cooked crabs during sample test preparation. Credit: CDPH. For media use.
CDPH in conjunction with other state agencies will continue its sampling efforts to monitor domoic acid levels in Dungeness and Rock crabs until the levels subside and no longer exceed the State's action level of 30 ppm in the viscera and 20 ppm in the meat. Domoic acid accumulation in seafood is a natural occurrence that is related to a "bloom" of a particular single-celled plant called Pseudo-nitzschia. The conditions that support the growth of this plant are impossible to predict, and it is unknown when the levels found in crab will subside. The health advisory will be lifted once the levels are no longer above acceptable levels.
Symptoms of domoic acid poisoning can occur within 30 minutes to 24 hours after eating toxic seafood. In mild cases, symptoms may include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headache and dizziness. These symptoms disappear within several days. In severe cases, the victim may experience trouble breathing, confusion, disorientation, cardiovascular instability, seizures, excessive bronchial secretions, permanent loss of short-term memory (a condition known as Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning), coma or death. There have been no reported illnesses associated with this event.
To receive updated information about shellfish poisoning and quarantines, call CDPH's toll-free Shellfish Information Line at (800) 553-4133. For additional information visit CDPH's Natural Marine Toxins: PSP and Domoic Acid Web page.

Choker by Elizabeth Woods
Cara Lange has never found high school easy. She moves abruptly, just in time for her freshman year, but never manages to carve out a niche for herself. Plus, she misses her best friend Zoe, with whom she did everything. The latest run- in with kids at school has them making fun of a choking incident in the lunchroom. She just can't catch a break. But the sudden arrival of her best friend goes a long way toward making everything right, until one classmate dies under mysterious circumstances and another goes missing. Cara starts to wonder whether she and Zoe really know each other at all.
I read about Choker just a couple of weeks ago on Lenore's blog and then found that I couldn't leave it on the shelf during a recent book excursion. So, it came home with me. This is Elizabeth Wood's debut novel and let me tell you, she is a quick study. She quickly portrays a totally believable and completely miserable experience for Cara in high school and her suffering at the hands of the mean girls who run her school.
While Cara is overjoyed when her friend comes back into her life, Zoe does so under the sketchiest of circumstances. The reader can't help but worry for Cara who is blindly under Zoe's spell. Woods touches on a lot of sensitive issues that are rife among teenagers, from relentless teasing, insecurity, peer pressure, first crushes and loneliness. Zoe's arrival and Cara's subsequent makeover improve Cara's self esteem, but the relationship between the two girls is not without strong undercurrents of unhealthiness and darkness.
In addition to heavy doses of teenage angst and parents on the periphery of the action, Choker has a heavy and effective thriller element. The fact that Zoe has a potentially explosive secret, which she isn't telling, makes for relentless uneasiness as the search for the missing girl intensifies, and the pressure doesn't let up until the last page. Recommended.

Look Ahead — 2023 Newcomer of the Year: Ty Gibbs' talent, aggressiveness join Cup Series
The grandson of Joe Gibbs makes the jump to NASCAR's top level after winning the Xfinity Series title
January 5, 2023 Cory Lavalette Article, NASCAR, Sports

Ty Gibbs is just 20 years old, but the Charlotte native already has an Xfinity Series title under his belt and 11 wins in 51 races in NASCAR's second-tier series.
In February, he'll make the jump to a full-time ride in the Cup Series, driving the No. 54 for Joe Gibbs Racing, the team owned by the former NFL coach who is also his grandfather.
While the critics will certainly claim the younger Gibbs is the beneficiary of nepotism, there's no denying his talent. There's also no doubt he has big shoes to fill. Still, North State Journal has predicted Ty Gibbs will be 2023's Newcomer of the Year.
Not only will Gibbs carry the weight of his grandfather's winning reputation, but he will also be replacing two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch in JGR's stable of drivers. Busch won 56 races and two titles during his 15 seasons with the team, averaging 3.7 wins per season, twice winning eight races and reaching Victory Lane at least once in every year of his decade and a half with the Huntersville-based Gibbs.
Busch also built a reputation as one of the Cup Series' most polarizing drivers, sneering at reporters, smiling at booing crowds and earning his "Rowdy" nickname on the track.
It will be tough for Gibbs to match Busch's on-track success, but he's well on his way to becoming one of NASCAR's heels.
He got in hot water in September while driving part-time in the Cup Series for JGR-aligned 23XI Racing, slamming into Ty Dillon on pit road at Texas and putting crew members and officials at risk. That cost him a $75,000 fine and 25 points in the standings. He had one top-10 in 15 Cup races.
Then Gibbs drew criticism during the Xfinity Series playoffs for bumping teammate Brandon Jones into the wall to win at Martinsville in the penultimate race of the season. It cost Jones a spot in the Championship 4 race at Phoenix, meaning JGR had only one driver, Gibbs, in contention.
"At JGR, we're all one big family," Gibbs said during a half-hour press conference after the incident. "And for me to break that apart through my selfish actions, it really hurts me. … If I could redo it multiple times, I would. I've thought this scenario over millions of times. And it's hard for me because I have to live with it now."
Gibbs went on to win at Phoenix to claim the Xfinity title in his first full season in the series. But tragedy struck when Gibbs' father, Coy, died in his sleep the night of his son's biggest moment at age 49. Joe Gibbs' other son, J.D. had died three years earlier of a neurological disorder, also at 49 years old.
Ty Gibbs did not race in the Cup Series finale and went silent in the weeks after his father's death. He did attend the NASCAR Awards in early December but declined to discuss the sudden passing of Coy.
"I've been doing good, thank you for asking, definitely appreciate you guys," Gibbs said in Nashville. "Right now, I'm not going to touch on that subject at all, just going to stick with the racing questions."
Both his father's untimely death and the mercurial start to his career will follow him as he joins NASCAR's top rung. The lessons learned, both personally and professionally, should serve him well — and he's poised to become one of the sport's biggest names all before he reaches age 21.
Ready or not, here comes Ty Gibbs.

When it is snowing or flurring lightly, it is magical to ice skate. You can close your eyes and spin and imagine. There are so many possibilities and no one to stop you. You might fall down, but the best part? You learn to get up and try again and again and again. There is no giving up here.
Do you like ice skating if you are in areas where they have ice skating rinks? Or is the cold just too much for you?

This charming novel is written in a unique format (letters and emails) amongst the characters. What would happen if everyone in town lived in the same buidling? Ruby Parker, the newest member of Wishing Rock, is about to find out. Her fiance has left her and she needs a fresh start and new scenery to take her mind off her troubled heart. She moves to Wishing Rock, Washington, a small town on Dogwinkle Island, near Seatle, where she meets a quirky set of characters that quickly become her new family.
Through the letters that are exchanged between the neighbors and their friends, the reader goes on a journey that features plenty of twists and turns of the going ons of this small town.
Through Ruby's venture into online dating, to a group trip to Scotland, a hoedown that changes everything, the lives of Wishing Rock get changed and things become interesting.
I really liked this book. It was quirky, witty and funny. I loved the characters from Ruby, to Ed, Gran, Pip,Dan, and all the rest. One minute I would be reading and the next I would be laughing out loud because of the antics and shenanigans.
The format took a while to get used to because I would have to keep checking who was writting to whom, but its a new format to read a story. The cover and the whole background of how Wishing Rock came to be fascinated me. Imagine a town in one building! That is just too crazy to believe but it does in this work of fiction.
The adventures that everyone participates in reminds me of small town life. Everyone's business is everyone's business and you cannot escape it. If you need help, there is someone to help, everyone attends the same events and lends a supporting ear when needed. The way that the author created each character let us see just who they were and why they were there. No place is too far not to keep in contact and lend advice.
One thing that caught me off guard was the pacing. In the beginning and the middle, it seemed to go at a decent pace and there were many things happening. However, towards the end of the book the pace started to slow down and get bogged down with all of the details. That is just my observation. I liked the cliffhanger at the end between two people (I won't mention which one's to prevent spoiling the end), and how we were left wondering what they were going to do and where they would be going.
Just from the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed the majority of the book and the characters, I will seek out the second book in this series. I hope I won't be disappointed. Overall, great start to a series.

Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, he makes sure everything is scheduled and in its right place. He runs the family's constructin business with an iron fist and no detail is too small to get misplaced. The construction of the inn( Inn BoonsBoro) is going smoothly and is about to open right on schedule-Owen expects nothing less. Owen plans for everything, however, he didn't plan on Avery McTavish.
Avery McTavish owns the popular pizza place right across the street from the inn and it gives her a prime spot in seeing all the action that is hapening at the inn and with Owen. Owen was Avery's first boyfriend and since then, he has never been far from her mind. The last thing that she expected was to feel an attraction that is far from friendly. Taking it slow, Owen and Avery go on a journey to see where their new attraction and relationship will take them.
Getting the inn ready for the grand opening day and letting Avery's guard down, has Owen busy up to his eye brows. However, he knows that once he is done convincing her, Avery's first boyfriend will be her last.
This is the second book in the Inn Boonsboro trilogy. First thing that I am going to say is that I loved the colors of the cover. They were so welcoming and peaceful, perfect for what it is about. I loved the format of the book. It is as though you are opening up the pages of a diary or something of sorts. It is hard to describe so I recommed you look it up at your local book store to see for yourself.
Also, I don't know about you but I am a big fan of Nora Roberts and although there have been some books that were alright, the majority of hers are great entertainment for me.
Owen and Avery were quite a match of smart wits, humour, and matching stubborness. It didn't help that they have known each other since they were kids, and that they had a history between them. It was so entertaining to see them try to fight their attraction and fail miserably. Sometimes you just know and can't stop it. The progress of the inn and the daily going ons of Vespa keep both of them busy constantly but it is interesting to be a fly on the wall and see how they handle the stressful situations that surround them.
It was intriguing to find out more about the inn inhabitant-aka ghost. With some research Owen and Hope slowly reveal to us what could have happened to the ghost and why she is still lingering in this time frame and not going back to her side. She makes a few appearences personally and with her signature scent as well-honeysuckle. There is not as much ghost activity in this one as there was in the previous book, however there is just enough to not forget that she is there.
I loved the descriptive writing. Nora Roberts always manages to be very descriptive but in a way that doesn't bog down the story line or make you bored because there is too much detail. You get just the right amount that you want to know more, and there is a good picture in your head of what everone looks like and their surroundings.
If you haven't read any of the books in the trilogy, I would say start with the first one, because it will be a lot easier to follow along. This isn't one of those books where if you pick up the second or third it is still ok as a stand alone, it is better to read from the first one.

Personal Thoughts: I read the first two books in the trilogy and I cannot wait for this book to come out! February seems to be so far away. I want to know what happens to Rhine and Rowan. The first two books were nail bitters for me because I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next and didn't want Rhine to get caught again by the bad guys. Here's to a long three months of waiting.

Q: Type '{ post: IPost; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IPost'. Property 'post' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IPost I am working on a project to improve my skills in TS. Getting data from a server, everything is working fine. Posts started to be displayed without errors, However, when I decided to load the posts in individual Post.tsx components by mapping through the data ts immediately gave me an error:
    Type '{ post: IPost; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IPost'.
  Property 'post' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IPost'

The app is simple, there's the array of Posts which I fetch from the DB. I then map through the array and return the  components with the individual posts.
Here are the types I'm using:
interface IPosts {
  posts: IPost[]
};

interface IPost {
  _id: string
  title: string
}

Here is the code in Posts.tsx:
export default function Home({ posts }: IPosts) {
  return (

        {posts.map(post => {
          console.log(post);
          return (
            <Post key={post._id} post={post} />
          )
        })}

  )
}

and here is the code for Post.tsx:
const Post = ( post : IPost) => {
    console.log(post);
    return (

{post.title}

    )
}

For some reason when I run this I get the error above on the post={post} prop I pass down to the Post component.
It also seems to convert a single post object like this:
{
 _id: "12345"
 title: "this is a title"
}

to this:
 {post:
        {
         _id: "12345"
         title: "this is a title"
        }
    }

Although this is not ideal, I can destructure the post object in the Post component however it does not fix that error that keeps coming up :/
Can someone help me with this?

A: list declare by type[]
interface IPosts {
  posts: IPost[]
};

edit this also
 const Post = ( {post} : {post: IPost}) => {

Slitheen is a new proposal for a decoy routing system. Decoy routing systems enlist the help of Internet Service Providers or Autonomous Systems that exist outside of a censor's area of influence to provide censorship resistance to clients that are under the influence of a nation-state censor.
Slitheen provides a strong defense against both active and passive attacks by requesting overt, allowed content and replacing the leaf resources of this content with censored material. Rather than mimicking what allowed traffic should look like, decoy routing systems like Slitheen make traffic appear indistinguishable from allowed, uncensored traffic by design.

Darlene Love to sing holiday classics like "Marshmellow World'' in New York and New Jersey.
Where and when: Sunday, Dec. 13 at 8 p.m. at the B.B. King Blues Club and Grill, 237 W. 42nd St., New York; Thursday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. (with Ronnie Spector) at the Count Basie Theatre, 99 Monmouth St., Red Bank; Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. (with Steven Van Zandt, Lesley Gore and Paul Shaffer) at the Bergen Performing Arts Center, 30 N. Van Brunt St., Englewood.
Theatre.org. Englewood: $25-$75; call (201) 227-1030 or visit BergenPAC.org.
Darlene Love achieved holiday-season immortality more than 45 years ago, belting out songs like "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," "Marshmallow World" and "Winter Wonderland" on one of the best seasonal albums ever made, 1963's "A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector."
A resident of Rockland County, N.Y., Love presents holiday concerts every year in New Jersey and New York. Her 2009 shows will take place in Red Bank, Englewood and Manhattan, and her annual "Late Show With David Letterman" appearance is scheduled for Dec. 23.
Thursday's show at Red Bank's Count Basie Theatre is a co-bill with another key "Christmas Gift" vocalist, girl-group icon Ronnie Spector. Love's Dec. 20 show at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood will welcome Steven Van Zandt, Lesley Gore and Paul Shaffer; this show will also include a tribute to legendary Brill Building songwriter Ellie Greenwich, who died in August.
Greenwich co-wrote classics like "Be My Baby," "Leader of the Pack" and "River Deep — Mountain High," as well as many of Love's hits ("Today I Met the Boy I'm Gonna Marry," "Wait Till My Bobby Gets Home," "A Fine, Fine Boy").
Love has more than usual to celebrate this holiday season. A remastered version of "Christmas Gift" came out in October, and a new compilation CD, "The Sound of Love: The Very Best of Darlene Love," is slated for a February release. She is also one of the nominees for 2010 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (the inductees will be announced next week), and she performed with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at an October concert at Madison Square Garden celebrating the hall's 25th anniversary.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for March 15, which is around the time that rehearsals will start, so she may have to miss a few.

Q: setting custom range of progress bar My progress-bar is now operating on % scale. I want to change it from % to range scale.
min: 0
max: 10
This works in %:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

But I want to change this from % to value range.
##update
Things with aria-value does not work. I don't know why.
I found a solution, I calculate the percentage from my response:
var calculations = data[1] / 10 * 100

A: You can just change the style="width: 100%" to whatever % you want, this is not the % of the bar but the width of the inner blue bar. It seems like you are using Bootstrap. You can read about this progress bar here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/progress/
You can also give aria attributes to your bar, which you can give a min and max value. (also seen in the link above)
For example: aria-valuenow="0" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="10"

.progress{
  width: 300px;
  margin: 20px;
}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

Example with the aria values (copied from the Bootstrap docs):

.progress{
  margin: 20px;
  width: 300px;
}

Delhi HC orders CAPF to set up medical board with pulmonary expert for fitness test of rejected applicant
New Delhi: When a man appearing for Assistant Commandant in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) was held back in his medical because of suspected pleurisy, and was again thwarted when he presented a 'fit' certificate from a government hospital, he moved the Delhi High Court. Today a division bench of the court directed the CAPF to constitute a medical board, including pulmonary experts, at the Army Hospital (R&R) in New Delhi to examine the petitioner within two weeks. The court said that if the petitioner was found fit, he may be permitted to participate in the further selection process.
Justices Rajiv Sahai Endlaw and Asha Menon observed: "There was a clear need in the present case for thorough investigations and the inclusion of a pulmonary/chest specialist, as the certificate (Annexure P-7) recorded that there was an error in judgment in reaching the conclusion of the existence of 'pleural effusion' by the Medical Board. This certificate was available to the respondents and they were required to follow the Guidelines which prescribed that when a specialist medical officer of the concerned field had certified that the candidate was not suffering from the disease for which he had been rejected, the decision of the earlier Medical Board was rendered controversial, and it was incumbent upon the respondents to have included a 'pulmonary specialist' to assess the fitness of the petitioner, including whether the 'pleural thickening' noticed interfered in the normal functioning of the lungs."
The contention of the petitioner in his writ petition was that he appeared for the post of Assistant Commandant in the Central Armed Police Forces held by UPSC and he was declared successful. Thereafter, he was called for Physical Standard Test/Physical Efficiency Test (PST/PET) and the Medical Standard Test (MST). After clearing the PST/PET, he was asked to appear in Medical Examination wherein he was declared 'unfit' for the reason of "Right Sided Pleural Effusion."
The petitioner underwent a medical examination on December 20, 2019 at Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, wherein he was examined by a Chest Physician, who declared him 'fit' with the specific remark that "there was no evidence of pleural fluid". Thereafter, along with Medical Fitness Certificate issued by a Government Hospital, the petitioner appeared before Review Medical Board, which was conducted on March 4, 2020 and again, the petitioner was declared 'unfit' for the reasons (a) "pleural thickening" and (b) "post tuberculosis."
