2020 Grammy Awards Nominations: 5 Things That Made Us Go 'Hmmmm'
The 2020 Grammy Awards nominees list brings some exciting country acts to the table. Still, of the acts that were chosen -- or not chosen -- left us a little puzzled after nominations were announced on Wednesday (Nov. 20).
The Grammy Awards are an all-genre show, so, naturally, not all of the artists you'd expect to see in the running at a country-centric awards show will turn up. Still, some pieces of the country lineup for 2020 had us doing a double-take. Read on to see if you were as shocked as we were by these five head-scratchers.
The 2020 Grammy Awards are set for Jan. 26 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. The event will air live on CBS, with Alicia Keys as host. Prior to the televised ceremony, a pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony takes place earlier in the day.
The Boot will be staying up late covering the most buzzed-about country winners, fashion and moments at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Readers can watch along with us by checking back to TheBoot.com for the latest Grammys headlines, liking The Boot on Facebook and following The Boot on Twitter.

When you are a beautiful female celebrity, you are sure that there will always be moments when your male fans will go the extra miles to annoy you. Ghanaian dancehall artiste Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng aka Ebony Reigns is tired of male fans sending her their unclad pictures.
She is wondering: "I don't understand why guys send me their nu*e pictures". She added "…it could be they find me attractive and because I have that kind of bad girl brand so they think when they send me those nu*e pictures am cool with it but am not so I entreat them to stop sending me pictures of themselves"
However, she may be the one causing this problem for herself. We can recall that she once said that no bra was comfortable on her again.

The 222 Remington Magnum is one of the smaller cartridges to have an Ackley Improved version. A factory load is shown along with a match-loaded Ackley version, slightly fire-formed to nearly straight and with a 40-degree shoulder.
The 222 Remington Magnum is a much better cartridge for bolt action rifles than the 223 Remington. The 223 was essentially a development of the 222 Rem Mag that would function more reliably in full- and semi-automatic military rifles. The longer neck of the 222 Rem Mag was a bit of a hangup, but for the accuracy buff it is an advantage. Unfortunately, hardly anyone makes a rifle chambered for the 222 Remington Magnum anymore. Cooper Firearms of Montana can build you a rifle so pretty that you'll be reluctant to take it to the field. Brass supplies are getting intermittent for the 222 Mag. Get orders in and wait patiently. Don't be shy about buying 500 or more pieces at a time, because barrel life is astoundingly good. Also, brass lasts a long time, especially when just neck sizing. The cartridge produces amazing accuracy, and it's easy to develop a good load. The best performance I ever had in a bench rest match was with the 222 Mag (which is what I prefer to call it for brevity), loaded with home-made bullets weighing an average of 51 grains, using IMR 4895 Powder and Remington 7 1/2 Primers. The aggregate for five 5-shot groups was 0.086 of an inch. Said differently, right at 1/12th of an inch.
Most of today's bench resters have moved to various 6mm cartridges, especially the 6mm PPC and the 6mm BR. The 6mms handle outdoor conditions a little better than the 22s, especially at 200 and 300 yards. The 22 PPC and the 22 BR started to move the 222 Mag out of contention even before the 6mms took over, but I'm not sure why. My 222 Mag bench gun shot with or better than the best of them. I was very fussy about bullets and cases. Had a special die set made up, and only took about 15 pieces of brass to a match. The brass for the 22 PPC had a head start, as all of the stuff being made was of high quality. The 222 Mag brass was regular factory production being spanked out at high speed, so you really had to be particular (or is it peculiar?) to get maybe 20 good pieces to start with out of a hundred inspected.
The 222 Mag came from the 222 Remington, which came from the fertile mind of Mike Walker. When Walker, of Remington, was asked to hop up the 222 to make a small round that would perform certain military requirements, he came up with the cartridge we're talking about, but at that time it was being referred to as the 224 Springfield. It didn't make the grade, and some of history blames that mostly on the design of the rifle it was being tested in. Whatever. The good part is that when the military dropped it, Remington picked it up as a commercial cartridge and introduced it as the 222 Remington Magnum in 1958. At the time, more than a few 222 owners had the Magnum reamer run into their chamber so they could switch to the new cartridge.
After having nearly a dozen 222 Mags over a period of at least 50 years, I can tell you that mine always have preferred flat-based bullets weighing 50 to 53 grains. All of them have had a 14-inch twist. Cooper uses a 12-twist barrel, so perhaps 55-grain bullets, and even boat tails, will work the best in them. Without testing, I sure can't say so with any authority. I currently have two rifles in 222 Mag, a yet unfired (except for the tiny groups the Custom Shop sent with it) 40-XB Rangemaster with upscale wood and a Badger bushing, and an Ed Brown Compact Varmint; both single shot bolt actions. Powder choices can be many, but good old IMR 3031 works quite well for me with bullets weighing up to 50 grains. Sometimes when using 50-grain bullets, and always when using 51- to 55-grain bullets, I use IMR 4895. Consult loading books when developing your own load for your own rifle.
I find the 222 Remington Magnum to be as accurate and less fussy than the 222 Remington. When a 222 Remington is shooting at its best, look out! It can beat just about anything. The problem I've had is that they don't always shoot the same when the weather conditions change from day to day. And, there is no powder that seems to be exactly ideal for them. IMR 4198 can be fine one time, and have you biting your tongue the next trip to the range. The same is true for H322, although it may be a little more consistent. If there isn't much of a breeze, and you can get by with a velocity loss of about 150 fps, IMR 4895 is a good choice. None of this seems to happen with me when shooting a 222 Remington Magnum. I can load up with IMR 4895, head to the range to check it, and then head to the field to enjoy the day.
Skinny-barreled 222 Mags shoot just fine, because the barrel doesn't heat up too fast. Cooper uses a 12-inch twist, which should nicely stabilize Nosler's 64-grain Bonded Solid Base. That can turn one of Cooper's delightful little masterpieces into a walkabout varmint rifle as well as a deer and pronghorn rifle where legal, all the while being a family heirloom. Order the stock sized down a bit for the wife, and she'll be pleased with the lack of recoil. For Remington, we suggest kicking out more brass, making factory rounds available, and start chambering the 222 Remington Magnum in the 700 CDL.
The 222 Remington, 223 Remington, and 222 Remington Magnum are all capable of producing fine accuracy. The smallest of the three, the 222 Remington, used to be the round to beat in bench rest competition, but it took a back seat to the slightly faster 22 PPC, which itself has been moved aside by the 6mm PPC and 6mm BR. Note the slightly greater case capacity of the 222 Remington Magnum over the 223 Remington, as well as its longer neck. The 222 Remington Magnum is a favorite of this author.
A factory load (55-grain) 222 Remington Magnum round, shown with a 6x47mm. The 6x47, an older wildcat easily made by running a 222 Remington Magnum case into an appropriate die to expand the neck, was a tough competitor in bench rest shooting. It is seen in use very seldom anymore, which is a dirty darn shame. Cooper Arms has the wisdom to still offer it, as does the Remington Custom Shop. This is a round that deserves to be called "sweet."

Q: Unable to pull a chain in Emulated Twilight Princess I'm emulating the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess on Dolphin. I'm currently in the Arbiter's Grounds dungeon. In the first room, you have to use platforms to jump over some quicksand to reach a chain, which you can pull to open the gate nearby that leads to the next room. However, when I attempted to pull the chain, nothing happened. I checked various guides and playthroughs but I haven't seemed to miss anything. I want to know if I'm doing something wrong, is this a gamecube bug, or is it a problem with the emulator.

A: I know this was over a year ago, but I encountered the same issue. To fix this, temporarily change your controller settings to the default settings in the dolphin menu, and this should fix it.

A: That sounds like a problem with your emulator or the rom you are using. Or theres a puzzle there that you are not figuring out.
If it was emulating wii and needed some motion control that might be screwy but since its the NGC version, well an R press is an R press. And if the R button works for something else, no reason why it would suddenly stop working for this application in particular.
EDIT: You have to hookshot this thing, not grab it.

Make your way to the northeast corner of the room and fight off the small enemy skeleton known as a Stalkin. At the corner of the room you will see a chain, but if you go to grab it, you will sink down below. Instead, use your Clawshot to grab the chain and then pull it back to open the gate. Make your way over to the north side of the room and climb the steps.

Press Releases U.S. Rep. Kind: On Gov. Evers' order to limit indoor mass gatherings
U.S. Rep. Kind: On Gov. Evers' order to limit indoor mass gatherings
La Crosse, WI— Rep. Ron Kind released the following statement in support of Governor Tony Evers' new order to limit indoor mass gatherings:
"With COVID-19 cases surging across Wisconsin, the time for action is now. I strongly support Governor Evers' order to limit indoor mass gatherings," said Rep. Ron Kind. "After months of this pandemic, the science is clear – avoiding large gatherings, wearing a facial covering in public, and practicing good hygiene are some of the best ways to prevent COVID-19. Now, we need to end the partisan games and lawsuits and follow our health care professionals' advice to take steps to slow the spread of COVID-19. Wisconsinites' lives are at stake."
Wisconsin has the third highest rate of new COVID-19 cases in the country. Over the last week, Wisconsin's average new case count reached previously unseen heights with 2,400 people testing positive for COVID-19 each day. On October 3, there were 2,892 new COVID-19 cases, a single-day record.
Along with the order, Governor Evers also announced $100 million in investments for small businesses and communities hit hardest by COVID-19, efforts that are funded through the CARES Act which Rep. Kind voted for in March. These actions underscore the need to provide state and local governments with the resources they need to help mitigate this economic and public health crisis, and ensure Wisconsin's small business owners have access to a financial lifeline. That's why last week, Rep. Kind voted in support of the updated HEROES Act. This legislation includes assistance for state and local governments, support for small businesses, and funding for expanded COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, among other provisions.

The Interesting History of A Wrinkle in Time
Posted in Blog, Boomer Life, Legacy
By Dave Price
For us Baby Boomers, the first great young adult book released in our lifetime was Madeline L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time, a timeless story of an unlikely young heroine who summons the wondrous power of love to defeat the darkness of evil.
However, despite its success upon publication in 1960, the unique science fiction tale, filled with tesseracts (the time wrinkle in the title) and ancient star-being characters with names like Mrs. Whasit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, the book was rejected by 26 publishers before it was finally picked up by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
The rejections focused on the fact that the book was something new and hard to classify.
Was it for children or adults? And if it was for children, how would they be able to understand the symbols and difficult hard science in the book? And was the tale a Christian parable about love or an allegorical warning about the conformist dangers of totalitarianism?
And what about those strange characters like The Man with Red Eyes, the pulsing, robot-like giant brain IT, and the malevolent The Black Thing?
L'Engle's granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis says the book's ambiguity was deliberate and part of its lasting power. According to Voiklis, her grandmother "wrote for people. She didn't write for children or adults."
Literary scholar Jean Fulton concurred, explaining further:
"L'Engle's fiction is considered important partly because she was among the first to focus directly on the deep delicate issues young adults must first face such as death, social conformity, and truth. L'Engle's work always is uplifting because she is able to look at the surface values of life from a perspective of wholeness, both joy and pain, transcending each to uncover the absolute nature of human experience that they share."
Now, 58 years after it first appeared, A Wrinkle in Time is enjoying a spectacular renaissance, a revival guaranteed to garner the story even greater worldwide acclaim.
First, Disney has just released a $100 million version of the story. In November, more celebrations are being scheduled for the 100th anniversary of L'Engle's birth. And currently, her two granddaughters – Charlotte Voiklis and Lena Roy are on a book tour discussing Becoming Madeline: A Biography of the Author of A Wrinkle in Time By Her Granddaughters, which details L'Engle's life from birth until the 1960 release of A Wrinkle in Time.
The biography is based primarily on letters, journals, and poems L'Engle kept from her younger years. "Obviously, her voice was so recognizable to us," Charlotte said when the duo appeared at Politics and Prose in Washington, DC. "Everybody has parts (of their lives) that they might want to paper over. But we wanted to write about both our grandmother's faults and strengths. In that respect, we are our grandmother's granddaughters".
Although the main reason for the biography was to familiarize readers with L'Engle's early life, the last few pages deal with her most successful book, which won the prestigious Newberry Award for best children's book.
Literary critics have long debated how A Wrinkle in Time first became, and still remains, so popular. Roy has her theory: "We're all hungry to learn how to be. Our grandmother wrote about how do people become who they are".
One of the great strengths of the book is its fully detailed characterizations of Meg Murray, her precocious baby brother Charles Wallace, and her fellow schoolmate Calvin, all outsiders who become engaged in a battle with the evil mind of IT.
Both granddaughters said their grandmother's writing was often autobiographical. She drew on her life and the lives of her family and friends. "She would say she was Meg," Voiklis said. "But she would also say she had no idea where some of her characters came. She said the three witches came to her from a trip she was taking in a western desert".
Like Meg, young Madeline, despite immense creativity and talent, wasn't successful in grade school.
"Her teachers thought she was stupid and she lived up to their expectations," Voiklis said. L'Engle turned inward. "She was along a lot as a child. She had her books and her poems and soon she started writing," Roy explained.
Both granddaughters said they shared a special bond with their grandmother. They were always invited to L'Engle's writing studio over the garage, which the family called The Ivory Tower. There they would read their own books while their grandmother worked.
Obviously, the book is immensely popular with young girls encountering the problems that come with pre-teen and teenage years.
L'Engle understood those problems well. She was a staunch feminist before the label was invented. "She was ambitious when ambitious women were not real popular," Voiklis said. Her sister agreed. "She changed the face of women in literature".
The book, which I first read at age 8 and remains my favorite young adult novel, is one of the most controversial classics ever written. It is number 23 on the American Library Association's List of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books, with reasons for its banning including the claim that it challenges religious beliefs, and, conversely, that it is too religious.
However, it continues to be taught in classrooms and read by thousands of children around the world. It has been named by the National Education Association as one of its Teachers Top 100 Books for Children. It was also chosen as a Top 100 Chapter Books in the School Library Journal. A Wrinkle in Time was the first of five books L'Engle wrote about the Murray family, now collectively known as The Time Quintet.
L'Engle, who died in 2007, always challenged her readers to find the courage to discover who they were meant to be, no matter how hard that task might seem. In 1972, in A Circle of Quiet, she wrote:
"I am still every age that I have been. Because I was once a child, I am always a child. Because I was once a searching adolescent, given to moods and ecstasies, these are still a part of me, and always will be. Because I was once a rebellious student, there is and always will be in me the student crying out for reform. This does not mean that I ought to be trapped or enclosed in any of these ages … but they are to be drawn on; to forget is a form of suicide; my past is part of what make the present Madeline and must not be denied or rejected or forgotten."

Daydreaming about the future 15
HUMMING IN MY UNIVERSE By Jim Paredes Updated May 17, 2009 12:00 AM
Imagine that you've been asleep for 20 years like Rip Van Winkle, and when you wake up, you see a digital calendar and that tells you the year is 2029! You look around and everything has changed. As you gaze out the window, you swear that you just saw a flying car! And the kids outside in their funny-looking clothes seem to be skating six inches above the ground except that they are not wearing skates!
You have awakened to a whole new world. You see a TV set in the room and you are amazed that it turns on by virtue of your simply wishing it to be on. It's called iTV, "i" standing for "intuitive."
Everything is wonderfully new and modern. But suddenly, you get the shock of your life! You see a familiar image of a now old but still elfin woman on TV with the famous mole on the cheek. You are shocked to realize that, lo and behold, she is still president of the Philippines!
I wanted to write a futuristic column but it is difficult to counter the inertia that overtakes me when I try to imagine a radically different future for our country. Nevertheless, I will try to do so, but minus the flying cars and the intuitive TV.
In their place, allow me to daydream and toy with some crazy ideas, impossible as they seem. But then, some pundit once said the day the US had a black president was the day pigs would fly! And now, thanks to a Mexican town named La Gloria, we have swine flew — er… I mean flu.
So, here goes:
It is 2021 and the situation is dire. Elections are on the horizon and no one is excited about the candidates who have presented themselves to the public, not even the candidates themselves. They all seem half-hearted about running even under a Comelec that is finally computerized and can deliver credible results in only five days. No candidate is charismatic enough to light up a crowd or dangle new social possibilities that can entice and excite a jaded public.
The Comelec, government and big business are desperate. For the first time, they decide to get together and find a solution. After much deliberation, the businessmen suggest a strategy that has served them through the years — outsourcing!
They suggest that we "outsource" our candidates for president, vice president, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Why not? It has worked for business. And while we're at it, haven't we been "outsourcing" our basketball players, athletes and beauty queens all these years? And haven't they brought in the trophies and titles for the country? It is, after all, a global world we live in.
By this time in the future, Barack Obama of the US and Kevin Rudd of Australia are only in their late 50s but they have served their maximum terms as leaders of their respective countries. They have been highly successful in transforming their societies and are not about to retire. So (this future vision goes) they immediately accept when offered Filipino citizenship under the Dual Citizenship Law and thus become eligible to run for president and VP.
The Obama-Rudd ticket wins by a landslide.
We also pick and choose politicians from the British Parliament, the Knesset, the Duma, and other law-making bodies of successful governments everywhere to fill up our own legislative bodies.
And at last, change comes to the Philippines!
Epidemic Control
A new deadly epidemic hits the world for the fourth time in two years. Everywhere people are panicking as the flu spreads and its victims multiply exponentially all over the world — except in the Philippines. There is not a single case reported here. The world is baffled. The secret seems to lie in the way the Philippines screens incoming visitors in all its ports of entry.
Even if there are no heat-detecting sensors or any other high-tech devices to sift through the passengers coming off planes and ships, the Philippines seems to be successful in weeding out those who are ill.
In place of all the modern gadgetry, everybody entering the country goes through a screening process as they pass immigration where the officer merely feels the visitor's forehead with one palm and his own neck with the other, to compare temperatures.
It is cheap, effective, low tech and probably indigenous. The Philippines is praised for its simple but innovative approach and the whole world adopts the procedure.
In the year 2020, the Catholic Church is faced with a dilemma. There are hardly any priests left to care for the spiritual needs of the faithful.
Luckily, for the first time since anyone can remember, the Philippines is blessed with young modern church leaders who decide to be creative in their approach. They know that a lot of the sacraments are harder and harder to deliver since the few priests left are getting old and do not have the stamina to mingle with large crowds, much less administer the sacraments in the traditional way.
They institute the following innovations:
a) Call centers for confessions. This way, the priests and the faithful can experience the sacrament of reconciliation even if not in the same place. It saves time, transport costs and is more accessible to both sinners and priests, not just in the Philippines but all over the world.
The Bishops, however, ban the use of texting to confess one's sins for now. But they are mulling the idea of something equally novel — "drive-through" confessions.
b) Masses through TV and homilies via YouTube. Wouldn't it be cool if you could choose which priest and which homilies to watch over and over again?
c) Baptism, extreme unction and other face-to-face functions are now dispensed through Google video chat, YM or Skype. It is safe, personal and, with the right lighting and décor, can be as emotionally touching and effective as the real thing.
The first trials of the prototype technology which makes possible the delivery of dextrose and all types of transfusions via WiFi and Bluetooth are performed successfully by college students at the Ateneo Physics Department. Except for a small glitch where there is a mix-up regarding which patient gets what medicine and dosage, the trials are promising.
The world takes notice of the Philippines as a new center for scientific innovation.
With global warming in full swing and the oceans rising and obliterating thousands of low islands everywhere, new vacation places are springing up like the Antipolo and Tagaytay beach promenades.
Manny Pacquiao, now the biggest boxer of all-time, has allowed himself to be cloned so that the Philippines can keep producing world-class boxers. Scientists are successful in producing Manny Pacquiaos for all weight categories of boxing, making the Philippine dominance in the boxing world complete.
Metro Life
The population of the Philippines has doubled and Metro Manila now has a staggering 50 million people. The MMDA has come up with a radical approach to clear the streets, avenues and sidewalks of traffic and people. The citizens are now color-coded according to their birthdays. If you were born on an odd number day, you can be on the streets on M-W-F. The even-numbered people can go out on T-Th-S. Sundays are free for all, during which you may want to stay home, away from the teeming crowds.
I could go on and on speculating about the future, but I know none of these things will probably materialize — except maybe for that shocking elfin image on my iTV!

Import Bentley Bentayga Hybrid
Bentley Bentayga Hybrid
Colour Various - please enquire
Engine Type Hybrid - Petrol
With the new Bentayga Hybrid, Bentley is for the first time offering a hybrid motorisation to the world's most luxurious SUV.
The company has combined a new turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with a highly efficient electric motor without compromising on the exquisite comfort, tranquil interior and effortless engine performance expected from a Bentley.
Drivers will be able to manage battery and petrol engine usage in two ways:
By choosing manually between three E modes; EV Drive, Hybrid Mode and Hold Mode
By letting the vehicle use satellite navigation information and automatically plan the best usage of the E-modes or petrol engine based on the journey calculated in the sat nav. For example, when arriving in a city, the vehicle will switch to electric motorisation for maximum efficiency.
The electric range will be over 31 miles (50km). It will take about 7.5 hours to fully charge the battery from 0% to 100%, and just 2.5 hours when using an industrial connection at home.
To display all information to the driver, such as whether the vehicle is being powered by energy supplied by the battery or the combustion engine, the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid will have an 8" touch screen infotainment system coming with a choice of 30 languages and a 60GB hard drive.
Passengers will benefit from entertainment tablets with connectivity to 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

To swap the stock 56mm throttle body for a 60mm throttle body from a B18 motor. This doesn't sound like much of a change but it will provide better throttle response and high end performance. This swap will also work with a 62mm Type-R throttle body but 62mm is actually a little 'too' big. Since this motor also is running nitrous the extra air flow will make quite a large difference. Also no Fast Idle Thermo or IAC to block off YAY!
In order to do this install correctly the intake manifold will have to be port matched to the throttle body. This Z6 intake manifold is already slightly larger at 58mm, then the stock throttle body which is 56mm at the base. Using a sanding wheel or grinding wheel carefully widen the intake manifold to about 62mm. Be careful not to egg shape the manifold.
Since this throttle body is from a pre '94 B series motor it uses an external MAP sensor. It is quite easy however to use the throttle body mounted MAP sensor from the D series. Just remove the MAP from the D series throttle body and use a short piece of vacuum tube to hook it to the B series as the images to the right show.
Unless you purchase a B series gasket you will also have to modify the gasket to accommodate the new throttle body. Just trim the edges a bit until it fits. Most of the time the gasket is damaged when it is removed so just be sure to purchase the B series gasket.
I first tried this install using the pulley that came on the B series throttle body but I found this not to be a good choice. The pulley is much bigger and does not allow for fast throttle response. Also the D series cable does not have enough travel to open the gate to 100% WOT (Wide open throttle). I eventually replaced the pulley with the one from the D series throttle body.
Once installed I secured the MAP sensor to the cruse control position on the throttle body just to make it neat looking. Eventually I will fabricate a aluminum bracket to hold it more securly in place.
The faster throttle responce is very noticeable although I did find that retuning my ecu will be necessary. This is because the B series throttle body allows much more air to enter the engine at the same % of throttle. A quick example would be, the B series allows as much air at 1/4 throttle as the D series did at 3/8, get it? All-in-all I think this mod is WELL worth it.
If you have any questions feel free to post them in this web sites forum.

Our conditions of business


The benefits to patients and hospitals of the early discharge lung biopsy pathway and using the Heimlich valve chest drain (HVCD) to treat post-procedural pneumothorax in an ambulatory fashion are obvious.
I would like to talk about how the approach also benefits trainees, providing a superior training environment to learn what to my mind was previously an inherently "risky" procedure.
Whilst passing through Barnet as part of my rotational radiology training I was asked if I wanted to learn how to perform lung biopsies. I was somewhat surprised given I was a relatively junior registrar. In other centres I had rotated through, lung biopsy was regarded as quite an advanced procedure rarely performed by even more senior trainees. I think part of this stems from standard U.K. practice where a pneumothorax, the most common complication, would mean a call to a respiratory physician colleague and inpatient admission for underwater seal drainage.
One needs to understand the psychology of radiologists - we spend a fair chunk of time doing diagnostic and interventional procedures addressing clinical colleagues' complications so it is unusual and a little uncomfortable when the situation is reversed and you have to call someone to "bail you out."
Radiology is one of the best specialties for training, with lots of one to one time spent with enthusiastic, knowledgeable and motivated supervising consultants. However my perception is that having to call a colleague to admit the patient and the resultant inconvenience for the patient means that people are less willing than with other radiological procedures to let registrars learn and practice. Fundamentally, when learning procedural skills there is only so far you can go by watching: at some point you have to get hands on and move the needle yourself; with appropriate supervision of course.
The ambulatory HVCD approach is a game changer for training as the negative effects of a pneumothorax are largely mitigated. If the patient develops one, they can still go home with a HVCD in situ and minimal fuss. This means the extra time with the needle in the lung or slightly imprecise movements you might make as a trainee do not negatively impact the patient, whilst allowing you to build your biopsy skills. It also means the supervising consultant also has reassurance that a pneumothorax will not be catastrophic.
There is a tension between patient outcomes and training in procedural skills; the unspoken truth is that no one is born a great proceduralist and every clinician once had to hone their skills through practice.
There is likely to be a growing need for lung biopsy over the next few years. Oncologists want more and more tissue for the plethora of molecular and genetic markers; want to patients to undergo repeat biopsy when patients' disease progresses to look for new treatable mutations; and as screening will probably be introduced many more nodules will need sampling. All these mean effective training in lung biopsy skills will be more important than ever.
There is a tension between patient outcomes and training in procedural skills; the unspoken truth is that no one is born a great proceduralist and every clinician once had to hone their skills through practice. The Barnet model allows trainees, whether registrars or consultants, to do this in the best possible way, most importantly with minimal negative consequences for patients.
Aniket is specialist registrar in radiology at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. He studied medicine at St. John's College Oxford, graduating with distinction. Prior to radiology training he spent a year working as a clinical fellow to Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS medical director; and as a clinical fellow to Dr Fiona Godlee, editor in chief of the BMJ Group. Alongside clinical practice and research he is interested in healthcare innovation and the organisation and delivery of healthcare services.

Bratko Kreft, slovenski dramatik, pripovednik, publicist, dramaturg, profesor, literarni zgodovinar in režiser, * 11. februar 1905, Maribor, † 17. julij 1996, Ljubljana.

Življenje
Odraščal je v Prlekiji, v Vidmu ob Ščavnici. Po končanem gimnazijskem šolanju v Mariboru, kjer je maturiral l. 1924, je v študijskem letu 1924/25 odšel na Dunaj. Najprej je študiral pravo, nato pa slavistiko in zgodovino. Obiskoval je tudi predavanja iz dramaturgije. Študij je nadaljeval v Ljubljani, kjer je študiral slovensko literaturo z južnoslovanskimi literaturami, primerjalno književnost in literarno teorijo, kot pomožne predmete pa še slovenski jezik, zgodovino in nemščino. Diplomiral je februarja 1929. Že v študijskih letih je bil literarno aktiven, med drugim je bil sourednik in sodelavec Kosovelove Mladine (1925–1926).

V sezoni 1930/31 se je kot režiser zaposlil v Narodnem gledališču v Ljubljani. Sprva je režiral le v operi, nato pa tudi v drami. Ob tem se je posvečal kulturnemu, uredniškemu in znanstvenemu delu. Sodeloval je z avantgardistično revijo Tank in bil v letih 1932–35 urednik prve slovenske marksistične revije  Književnost. L. 1939 je doktoriral s temo Shakespearov vpliv na razvoj Puškinovega dramatskega nazora. Pozimi 1941/42 je v Rimu, kamor se je moral umakniti zaradi komunističnega svetovnega nazora, kot Turnerjev štipendist študiral rusko literaturo.

Po vojni se je aprila 1946 kot dramaturg zaposlil v SNG Drama, kjer je ostal do jeseni 1955. L. 1948 je za prepesnitev in režijo Tugomera dobil prvo Prešernovo nagrado. Istega leta se je za eno študijsko leto kot profesor za novejšo rusko književnost zaposlil na Filozofski fakulteti, kamor se je znova vrnil v začetku l. 1957. V tem letu je prejel tudi drugo Prešernovo nagrado, in sicer za režijo Shakespearovega Henrika IV, tretjo pa leta 1975 za življenjsko delo na področju literarne in gledališke umetnosti. Leta 1975 je prejel tudi nagrado Avnoj, leta 1981 še Sterijevo nagrado za izjemen prispevek k napredku dramskih umetnosti in kulture.

L. 1962 je prenehal s poučevanjem na fakulteti in se upokojil, a je še vedno ostal aktiven na slavističnem področju. Postal je dopisni  član JAZU in član  SAZU – najprej je bil član terminološke komisije in znanstvenega sveta Inštituta za slovensko narodopisje, 1962 pa je postal upravnik Inštituta za slovenski jezik SAZU, ki ga je vodil 20 let (do 1982), 1966 pa še tajnik akademijinega razreda za filološke in literarne vede. V letih 1976–1992 je bil podpredsednik SAZU. V tem času je pripravljal številna predavanja in prispevke o slovenski in tuji (predvsem ruski) literaturi, bil je urednik 9. letnika  Jezika in slovstva (1963/64), član in od l. 1959 tudi predsednik zveze slavističnih društev Jugoslavije, predsednik Slavističnega društva (1963–1968) in njegov častni član, član Mednarodnega slavističnega komiteja in od l. 1973 njegov predsednik ter dopisni član MANU, Leta 1975 je prejel Prešernovo nagrado za življenjsko delo na področju literarne in gledališke umetnosti, imenovan pa je bil tudi za častnega občana Maribora.

Njegov sin je slovenski politik in filozof Lev Kreft.

Delo
Literaturo Bratka Krefta literarna zgodovina obravnava v sklopu slovenskega socialnega realizma. Vidno mesto ima predvsem njegova dramatika, ki se ji je tudi najbolj posvečal.

Dramatika
Napisal je več kot deset dram (nekatere so ostale nedokončane), prvo, Nemoč, v kateri opisuje razmere dijaškega življenja, že kot osmošolec. Kmalu zatem se je preusmeril v socialno zgodovino, preko katere prikazuje nenehen boj človekovih želj ter njegove vzpone in padce. To je najbolje prikazal v Tiberiju Grakhu. Naslednje drame (te so doživele tudi več odzivov) se dotikajo predvsem tem iz različnih obdobjih slovenske zgodovine. Pokristjanjevanje in prve boje z germanskimi zavojevalci je opisal v prepesnitvi Tugomera, srednji in zgodnji novi vek v Celjskih grofih in Veliki puntariji, vzpon slovenske književnosti v obdobju razsvetljenstva v Kranjskih komedijantih, največjega slovenskega pesnika v filmski drami Dr. France Prešeren, prvo svetovno vojno v Kreaturah …   Bolj kot individualne usode so ga v dramah zanimala razmerja in trenja med družbenimi razredi. Hkrati je vzpostavljal vzporednice z aktualnim trenutkom slovenstva v Evropi, to je s spopadom proletariata in kapitalizma, svobodomiselnosti in vzhajajočega fašizma.

Znanstveno delo
Na slavističnem področju se je Kreft ukvarjal predvsem z novejšo rusko književnostjo. Pisal je o Puškinu, Gončarovu, Turgenjevu, Ostrovskem, Čehovu, Šolohovu, Gorkem, Pasternaku, Gogolju, vrhunec Kreftovega udejstvovanja na področju ruske književnosti pa pomeni izdaja izbranih del Dostojevskega, kjer je objavil več spremnih študij (zelo znana je študija o romanu Besi).

Na področju slovenske književnosti je pisal o delu Trubarja, Linharta, Prešerna, Šusterja, Levstika, Cankarja, pa tudi sodobnikov, npr.: Kosovela, Gruma, Prežiha idr. Zanimali so ga tudi drugi slovanski pisci, npr. Miroslav Krleža, Jovan Jovanović Zmaj, Petar Petrović Njegoš, Taras Ševčenko in Juliusz Słowacki.

Votre récit débute en Thaïlande, sur les charmantes plages de l'île de Koh Samui, et comprend une nuit à Bangkok. Suivront deux nuits supplémentaires à Hô-Chi-Minh-Ville pour découvrir les nombreux secrets de l'Indochine. Un voyage vers la mystérieuse baie de Ha Long poursuivra votre récit allégorique. Comprenant de longues franges de côtes, des centres-villes ainsi que des idéaux propres au monde rural, cette croisière équilibre à la perfection les découvertes stimulantes aux journées de détente en mer.
The main island of Singapore is shaped like a flattened diamond, 42 km (26 miles) east to west and 23 km (14 miles) north to south. Near the northern peak is the causeway leading to West Malaysia—Kuala Lumpur is less than four hours away by car. It is at the southern foot where you will find most of the city-state's action, with its gleaming office towers, working docks, and futuristic "supertrees," which are solar-powered and serve as vertical gardens. Offshore are Sentosa and over 60 smaller islands, most uninhabited, that serve as bases for oil refining or as playgrounds and beach escapes from the city. To the east is Changi International Airport, connected to the city by metro, bus, and a tree-lined parkway. Of the island's total land area, more than half is built up, with the balance made up of parkland, farmland, plantations, swamp areas, and rain forest. Lire plus Well-paved roads connect all parts of the island, and Singapore city has an excellent, and constantly expanding, public transportation system. The heart of Singapore's history and its modern wealth are in and around the Central Business District. The area includes the skyscrapers in the Central Business District, the 19th-century Raffles Hotel, the convention centers of Marina Square, on up to the top of Ft. Canning. Although most of old Singapore has been knocked down to make way for the modern city, most colonial landmarks have been preserved in the CBD, including early-19th-century buildings designed by the Irish architect George Coleman.
This is the most popular tourist destination on the Western Gulf coast, which isn't surprising, considering Koh Samui's gorgeous beaches, perfect weather, and sparkling blue, almost turquoise, water. Koh Samui has seen rapid development since the 1990s, and you'll encounter hotels in all price ranges. Koh Samui is half the size of Phuket, so you could easily drive around it in a day. But Koh Samui is best appreciated by those who take a slower, more casual approach. Most people come for the sun and sea, so they head straight to their hotel and rarely venture beyond the beach where they are staying. Every beach has its own unique character, and with a little exploration you may find the one for you. Koh Samui is a delight to explore, and it's one of the few destinations where having a car can come in really handy. A drive along the coastal road will provide one beautiful view after another; the interior of the island isn't as scenic. Lire plus Chawaeng Beach, on Koh Samui's east coast, is a fine stretch of glistening white sand divided into two main sections—Chawaeng Yai (yai means "big") and Chawaeng Noi (noi means "little"). Travelers in search of sun and fun flock here, especially during the high season. You'll find the greatest variety of hotels, restaurants, and bars here. During the day the beaches are packed with tourists, and the ocean buzzes with jet skis and banana boats. At night the streets come alive as shops, bars, and restaurants vie for your vacation allowance. But despite the crowds, Chawaeng is no Pattaya or Patong—the mood is very laid-back. A rocky headland separates Chawaeng from Koh Samui's second-most-popular beach, Lamai. Its clear water and long stretch of sand were the first place on the island to attract developers. If you are young and looking for fun, there are more budget accommodations available here than in Chawaeng, and there are quite a few happening clubs. Almost every visitor to Koh Samui makes a pilgrimage to Lamai for yet another reason: at the point marking the end of Lamai Beach stand two rocks, named Hin Yai (Grandmother Rock) and Hin Ta (Grandfather Rock). Erosion has shaped the rocks to resemble weathered and wrinkled private parts. It's nature at its most whimsical. Laem Set Bay, a small rocky cape on the southeastern tip of the island, is just south of Lamai. It's a good 3 km (2 miles) off the main road, so it's hard to reach without your own car. On the west coast of Koh Samui, Na Thon is the island's primary port and the spot where ferries arrive from the mainland. Na Thon is home to the island's governmental offices, including the Tourism Authority of Thailand. There are also banks, foreign exchange booths, travel agents, shops, restaurants, and cafés by the ferry pier. There are a few places to rent rooms, but there's really no reason to stay in Na Thon—nicer accommodations can be found a short songthaew ride away. A few other places on the northern edge of the island are worthy of exploration. On the very northwestern tip of the island you'll find Laem Yai. It's also a rather underdeveloped area—for now—that's dotted with a few mega-resorts. But there are also many tiny hole-in-the-wall seaside restaurants with delicious seafood at outrageously low prices. East of Laen Yai is Mae Nam, a long, quiet beach, suitable for swimming. Several inexpensive guesthouses and a few luxurious resorts share the 5-km (3-mile) stretch of sand. Mae Nam is also the departure point for boats bound for Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. A small headland separates Mae Nam from the north shore's other low-key community, Bophut. Bophut has a bit of nightlife—central Bophut, known to everyone as Fisherman's Village, has a beachside strip of old houses that have been converted into restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Quaint and romantic, Bophut has a devoted following of return visitors who enjoy its quiet vibe. On the northeast coast of Samui lies Choengmon Beach. A few guesthouses, a handful of luxury resorts, and some restaurants are scattered along the shore of this laid-back beach. The sand is firm and strewn with pebbles and shells, but adequate for sunbathing.
Romantically referred to by the French as the Pearl of the Orient, Ho Chi Minh City today is a super-charged city of sensory overload. Motorbikes zoom day and night along the wide boulevards, through the narrow back alleys and past vendors pushing handcarts hawking goods of all descriptions. Still called Saigon by most residents, this is Vietnam's largest city and the engine driving the country's current economic resurgence, but despite its frenetic pace, it's a friendlier place than Hanoi and locals will tell you the food—simple, tasty, and incorporating many fresh herbs—is infinitely better than in the capital.This is a city full of surprises. The madness of the city's traffic—witness the oddball things that are transported on the back of motorcycles—is countered by tranquil pagodas, peaceful parks, quirky coffee shops, and whole neighborhoods hidden down tiny alleyways, although some of these quiet spots can be difficult to track down. Lire plus Life in Ho Chi Minh City is lived in public: on the back of motorcycles, on the sidewalks, and in the parks. Even when its residents are at home, they're still on display. With many living rooms opening onto the street, grandmothers napping, babies being rocked, and food being prepared, are all in full view of passersby.Icons of the past endure in the midst of the city's headlong rush into capitalism. The Hotel Continental, immortalized in Graham Greene's The Quiet American, continues to stand on the corner of old Indochina's most famous thoroughfare, the rue Catinat, known to American G.I.s during the Vietnam War as Tu Do (Freedom) Street and renamed Dong Khoi (Uprising) Street by the Communists. The city still has its ornate opera house and its old French city hall, the Hôtel de Ville. The broad colonial boulevards leading to the Saigon River and the gracious stucco villas are other remnants of the French colonial presence. Grisly reminders of the more recent past can be seen at the city's war-related museums. Residents, however, prefer to look forward rather than back and are often perplexed by tourists' fascination with a war that ended 40 years ago.The Chinese influence on the country is still very much in evidence in the Cholon district, the city's Chinatown, but the modern office towers and international hotels that mark the skyline symbolize Vietnam's fixation on the future.
A visit to the north is not complete without a trip to Halong Bay, where placid waters give way to more than 3,000 limestone karsts and wind-sculpted limestone formations that jut from foggy lagoons. Dotting the bay are tiny islands bordered by white sandy coves and hidden caves, adding to the majestic landscape of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Adding to this naturalist's dream is the biodiversity of islets, grottos, and Cat Ba Island National Park. The bay, however, shows tourism's impact: the clearing of mangrove forests to make way for jetties and piers, marine life threatened by game fishing, and garbage from passenger boats and fishing villages washed up on the shores.Beyond its geological uniqueness are activities like hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, or exploring one of the many floating villages where fishermen bring in their daily catch. Lire plus The downside to all this allure is the large number of unlicensed boats it draws to the bay each day.Boat trips out onto the bay are the main tourism stock in trade farther north, but a more multifaceted side of the area can be experienced at Cat Ba Island. The largest island in Halong Bay, Cat Ba is very much its own entity. Its national park offers incredible biodiversity, with more than a thousand species of plants having been recorded here. Animal life is slightly thinner on the ground, but alert visitors may spy inhabitants such as the endangered golden-headed langur, wild boar, deer, civets, and several species of squirrel. Trekking through the wilderness is a highlight with a number of fascinating trails to follow.Cat Ba Island has also become a firm favorite with the adventure sports set. Indeed, along with Railay Beach in Thailand, it is recognized as one of the top spots in the region for rock climbing. Other outdoor pursuits include sailing and kayaking around the karsts. Although Halong Bay has arguably been tainted by over-exposure, Bai Tu Long Bay farther east toward China, retains all the majesty of Vietnam's premier bucket-list natural attraction but sees a fraction of the traffic of its immediate neighbor to the west. Here, visitors will find islands of substantial size with deserted beaches and untamed jungle. Halong Bay's 3,000 islands of dolomite and limestone cover a 1,500-square-km (580-square-mile) area, extending across the Gulf of Tonkin nearly to the Chinese border. According to legend, this breathtaking land- and seascape was formed by a giant dragon that came barreling out of the mountains toward the ocean—hence the name (Halong translates into "descent of the dragon"). Geologists are more likely to attribute the formations to sedimentary limestone that formed here between 300 and 500 million years ago, in the Paleozoic Era. Over millions of years water receded and exposed the limestone to wind, rain, and tidal erosion.Today the limestone formations are exposed to hordes of tourists—but don't let that discourage you. Hundreds of fishing trawlers and tour boats share space on these crystal waters, yet there seems to be room for everyone. Most people use the main population center, Halong City, as a base from which to venture into the bay. Although it's now officially one municipality, Halong City was, until 1996, two separate towns: Bai Chay is now Halong City West, where Halong Road winds its way around the coast and past the lifeless central beach; Hon Gai is the grimier Halong City East, where a coal transportation depot dominates the center of town and covers nearby roads and buildings with a sooty film. Locals still refer to the towns by their old names, but they are now inexorably lassoed together by a bridge. Boat trips through Halong Bay are the main attraction. Little of the majesty of this region can be found in the city, so head out onto the water and start exploring. Countless 10- and 30-foot fishing boats have been converted into Halong Bay's formidable tourist-boat fleet. Hotels or travel agencies in Halong City or Hanoi can arrange boat trips for you (often they are part of organized tours from Hanoi). It is still possible to go down to the wharf and bargain yourself onto a boat for the day, but you are likely to be charged (sometimes significantly) more than you would pay for a prebooked tour, so this is not advised. Self-sufficient travelers have fallen victim to the old bait-and-switch: they've arranged a next-day boat tour with local fishermen, only to be told in no uncertain terms the following morning that they could not board their chosen boat, but they could take a different one for quite a bit more money. You may have no choice in the end. Usually travel agencies, however, have their tried-and-true favorites.
The Hong Kong Island skyline, with its ever-growing number of skyscrapers, speaks to ambition and money. Paris, London, even New York were centuries in the making, while Hong Kong's towers, bright lights, and glitzy shopping emporia weren't yet part of the urban scene when many of the young investment bankers who fuel one of the world's leading financial centers were born. Commerce is concentrated in the glittering high-rises of Central, tucked between Victoria Harbor and forested peaks on Hong Kong Island's north shore. While it's easy to think all the bright lights are the sum of today's Hong Kong, you need only walk or board a tram for the short jaunt west into Western to discover a side of Hong Kong that is more traditionally Chinese but no less high-energy. You'll discover the real Hong Kong to the east of Central, too, in Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and beyond. Lire plus Amid the residential towers are restaurants, shopping malls, bars, convention centers, a nice smattering of museums, and—depending on fate and the horse you wager on—one of Hong Kong's luckiest or unluckiest spots, the Happy Valley Racecourse. Kowloon sprawls across a generous swath of the Chinese mainland across Victoria Harbour from Central. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of Kowloon peninsula, is packed with glitzy shops, first-rate museums, and eye-popping views of the skyline across the water. Just to the north are the teeming market streets of Mong Kok and in the dense residential neighborhoods beyond, two of Hong Kong's most enchanting spiritual sights, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Chi Lin Nunnery. As you navigate this huge metropolis (easy to do on the excellent transportation network), keep in mind that streets are usually numbered odd on one side, even on the other. There's no baseline for street numbers and no block-based numbering system, but street signs indicate building numbers for any given block.
MANILA, the capital city of the Philippines, was founded in, 1571 by Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi. It is one of the oldest cities in the country and was the seat of power for most of the colonial rules of the Philippines. It is situated on the eastern shore of Manila Bay and contains a multitude of landmarks, some of which date back to the 16th century. It is home to the baroque 16th-century San Agustin Church as well as Fort Santiago, a storied citadel and military prison. In the 19th century Manila became one of the most modern cities in Asia. Before the Spanish–American War, Manila saw the rise of the Philippine Revolution. Under the American rule following the Spanish-American War, the United States changed the official language from Spanish to English. Towards the end of World War II, during the Battle of Manila, most of the city was flattened by intensive aerial bombardment. Today, tourism is a vital industry in Manila. Lire plus Major shopping malls and bazaars thrive around Manila.
The Spanish arrived at this beautiful corner of the world in March of 1872, founding the city, that would eventually become the Capital of Palawan. In 2011, the area received a huge boost, when New7 announced its list of the 7 Wonders of Nature – counting 500 million votes in the process. Puerto Princesa's stunning underground river - complete with a cavernous, sunken lagoon - beat off wonderful sites like the Great Barrier Reef, to claim a spot on the final, prestigious list. Set sail across the glowing green water, on a journey into the gaping mouth of the limestone caves at Puerto Princesa. Known for being one of the least densely populated, cleanest and most environmentally friendly cities in the Philippines, there's a raft of natural wonders to explore - from diving hotspots to towering limestone cliffs, and the entrancing underworld of the underground river.
Borneo's forbidding interior made it less attractive to early traders and explorers than neighboring areas, so what is now the state of Sabah remained unexploited by the British until the late 19th century, although traders long visited for exotic items such as bird's nests (for the celebrated Chinese soup). In 1963, Sabah joined Sarawak, Malaya, and Singapore (which later seceded) in forming the Federation of Malaysia. Known as the "Land Below the Wind" because it's south of the typhoon belt, Sabah occupies Borneo's northern tip. It shares its southwestern border with Sarawak and the rest of its southern border with the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan. Today vast tracts of forest have been replaced by oil-palm plantations, and a sizable portion of remaining forest land is protected in national parks or conservation areas. Lire plus On the shore of a deep bay, Sandakan was the capital of British North Borneo and one of the most important towns in Southeast Asia from the 1880s through the 1930s. But Japanese occupation during World War II and allied bombing virtually destroyed the town, and the capital was transferred to Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu) in 1946. Sandakan enjoyed a revival in the 1970s as the center of the region's logging industry. Logging has since declined, but Sandakan is still worth visiting for its rich history and proximity to some of Borneo's most accessible wildlife attractions. Sandakan's downtown, much of it built on landfill, is squeezed between a steep promontory and Sandakan Bay. In recent years, this city of 450,000 (counting its extensive suburbs) has begun redeveloping its downtown waterfront into a shopping and nightlife hub. Its working harbor area for passengers and cargo is 6 km (4 miles) west of downtown.
The capital of Sabah, Borneo's northernmost state, Kota Kinabalu is wedged between a tropical rainforest and the South China Sea. Many explorers use it as a launching point to venture off and see the surrounding jungle and marine life. Mt. Kinabalu challenges climbers daily, and top diving spots reel in underwater adventurers. The city is made up of a dense grid of concrete buildings built over reclaimed land along the coast. Several waterfront seafood restaurants and a diverse mix of hotels appeal to the travelers passing through, mostly off to explore the region.
Surrounded by blossoming nature reserves, where rusty-coloured orangutans swing freely through the trees, and the world's largest flowers sprawl across the ground, Kuching is a city of culture, natural beauty and uninhibited wonder. Explore mighty cracks in the Earth's crust and watch dazzling sunsets igniting the ocean's waves, as you visit one of the most unique and diverse eco-systems on the planet. Kuching was founded in 1827, when it formed a part of the Empire of Brunei. The Brooke family then took ownership of Sarawak, after the British arrived in the area, and the Bruneian Empire declined. The Second World War saw a Japanese invasion, before the Empire's surrender returned Kuching to British control. Self-governance was eventually established in 1963, when the State of Malaysia came into existence.

Why did India need to bury Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose before his death?
Kids4Fun January 20, 2019	Social Science Questions & Answers Leave a comment 975 Views
After Justice Mukherjee Commission (JMC), it's the Central Information Commission (CIC) with whom lay the hopes of millions of Indians of finding the truth about the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the greatest freedom fighter of this not-so-great country. While Mukherjee Commission could establish beyond reasonable doubt the truth about the falsehood of the myth of Netaji's death in the August 18 air crash in 1945, a number of questions still remain unanswered.
What happened to Netaji on that fateful day of 1945? Could he reach his destination? Did he end up in a Russian prison? Did he really come back? Where and how did he die? Has he died at all? Did Nehru know his whereabouts and mislead the countrymen? Who else knew? What 'contemporary official records' prompted Prime Minister Morarji Desai to express doubt on the floor of the house about the findings of the earlier two enquiry panels? Why are Netaji papers 'Top Secret' in his own free country even after a lapse of more than 60 years? The answers still evade the people of this country.
In his report, Justice Mukherjee spent quite a number of pages in describing the actions and responses of various government departments and contradictions in their statements. A good number of documents contained in various classified government files could not see the daylight in spite of the commission's efforts to uncover them. Even the records and documents placed before the earlier Khosla Commission were not furnished before the present commission. On affidavit, Home Ministry official made false statement saying no papers or files related to Netaji or INA were held by cabinet secretariat, IB or R&AW.
Around the same time PMO official confessed in writing that some classified documents on Netaji held by PMO were destroyed in 1972 (Khosla commission inquiry was in mid-way at that time). The non-cooperation of Government of India in the process of Commission's investigation, Justice Mukherjee noted in no unclear terms, had 'put a spoke in the wheel of this enquiry'. This non-cooperation with the commission has been there all along, right from the constitution of the commission to its final days of enquiry.
The notable fact about this is that both the earlier BJP led NDA Govt. and the subsequent Congress led UPA Govt. were equally non-cooperative, a puzzle that needs to solved to understand why almost every file pertaining to Netaji remains 'Top Secret' in his own motherland 60+ years after the independence.
The report of the commission was tabled on the house of the Parliament only days before the closing of the May session in 2006, six months after its submission in November 2005. There was no debate in the house at all and the Government played it safe in rejecting outright the JMC report without sparing a single word in support of its stand. Justice Mukherjee's finding went against the findings of two earlier enquiry panels and concluded that there happened no air crash at all on that day of August at Taihoku, which could take the life of Netaji. By rejecting the report the Government, in a way, reiterated its acceptance of the earlier two reports of Shah Nawaz Committee and Khosla Commission. However, the evidences that the JMC gathered, in rejecting the air crash theory, have their own strength and will therefore find acceptance amongst general public, no matter what the Government's stand is. Sooner or later the Government has also to concede to the finding.
It's sheer coincidence that the year of enactment of Right to Information (RTI) Act is the same as the year of submission of the JMC report. It's this RTI Act under which information have recently been sought from the Central Government on the classified and destroyed files. In response to an appeal made by Mission Netaji, the Indian Government has come out with an even more interesting and stunning statement. It said in its response that the contents of several classified files on Netaji could not be disclosed because such disclosure would affect the country's relationship with other foreign country.
The same stand was earlier taken by the Government when JMC asked for the classified Netaji files. In its reply to the JMC, the Home Ministry had further stated that the disclosure would hurt the sentiment of the people, evoke widespread public reaction and lower the public image of the great leader. The Government sought relief under section 8(1) of the RTI Act, which allows secrecy on matters having bearing upon the nation's sovereignty and security. When the matter reached the CIC, the commissioner, however, asked the center to furnish detailed list of documents held by various central ministries and departments.
Right we must have to the information on Netaji. One may wonder how the hell may break loose should the Netaji papers made public and how the disclosure of information about a national leader could pose threat to national security or jeopardize relationship with other countries! Even if it is assumed that Netaji had been a subject of negotiation of any sort among the allied powers or between the Governments of India and any other country in the post-war phase, the extreme secrecy on the Government's part about every Netaji-related matter for such a prolonged period can't be explained. For example, the apparent trivial matter of expenditure incurred on account of maintenance of alleged Netaji ashes in Renkoji temple. The fact that the Indian Government has been paying, and keeps on paying, the Renkoji authorities a handsome amount, has been and still is a closely guarded secret – a matter discussed only by the cabinet and that too as a confidential item on the agenda.
There are reasons to believe that the Government's desperate efforts in maintaining secrecy of the highest level in Netaji-related matters has something to do with hiding some ugly faces or acts, not to uphold the Netaji stature or the nation's security. But despite all that secrecy and destroying of vital papers, more and more information started coming out, notably from sources external to the Government and from abroad.
It now appears that the key persons in Indian Government had the knowledge of the falsehood of the air crash report from the very beginning but the false was imposed upon the people of this country as truth. What was once Japan's need, became India's requirement. Japan needed the death story to save Netaji in the ensuing hours of capitulation and to make safe passage for him. India needed the same death story to bury him alive, to prevent his resurrection. The billion-dollar question is: why did India need to bury its greatest freedom fighter before his death?

It is an easy trip on Bayou Lafourche. I launched at the Lockport Boat Launch where many fishing boats can launch along with canoes for free. The people on the bayou are friendly and courteous. The wildlife I saw were birds, fish jumping in the water, and alligators. Alligators don't normally bother boaters nor swimmers. I have lived on the bayou for 12 years and have never heard of a gator attack even though I am involved with the local volunteer fire department and rescue team.
Facilities are nice. It is easy to launch and it is free. There is a walking path there too if any one is interested in walking. There are no restroom facilities at the boat launch at this time but restrooms can be found at local stores and restaurants.
