A devastating cholera outbreak in Haiti that has killed more than 7,500 people has been blamed on United Nations' peacekeeping troops in the country.
Dr. Daniele Lantagne, a leading international public health expert who helped investigate the outbreak for the UN, said the "most likely" source of the cholera was a camp for soldiers from Nepal, a country where the water-borne disease is widespread.
[np-related /]
She told the British Broadcasting Corporation, "We now know that the strain of cholera in Haiti is an exact match for the strain of cholera in Nepal."
A 2011 UN report, which Dr. Lantagne co-authored, said it was not possible to fault any group or individual for the outbreak.
According to the BBC, the report did say inadequate toilets in the Nepalese UN camp in the mountain town of Mirabalais could have leaked the cholera bacterium into the nearby Meye River, which flows into the country's main waterways.
Since that report, Dr. Lantagne has studied new genome data.
"We can now say that the most likely source of the introduction of cholera into Haiti was someone infected with the Nepal strain of cholera and associated with the United Nations Mirabalais camp," she told the BBC.
Despite suspicions about the Mirabalais camp, the UN is standing by the 2011 report.
UN Watch, a watchdog group based in Geneva, said at a briefing this week that Hervé Ladsous, the under-secretary-general and the world body's head of peacekeeping, "concluded that it was impossible to establish the origins of the disease."
UN Watch is calling on the UN to reopen its investigation into the cholera epidemic in light of Dr. Lantagne' comments.
Hillel Neuer, UN Watch's executive director, said, "Why is the UN hiding behind a report whose conclusions are now repudiated by one of its chief authors? It makes no sense.
The UN's response is deeply disappointing
"The UN's response is deeply disappointing, and an abdication of basic accountability from an organization that regularly demands it of others.
"The logical and moral thing for Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to do is reopen the investigation, with a fully independent panel and public inquiry, and that is what we are demanding."
He added, "No one is accusing the UN of deliberately poisoning Haiti's water supply. But when one of its own designated experts concludes that a UN division negligently caused a mass epidemic, the victims are owed a better response than denial and deafening silence."
Cholera victims have already started legal action against the UN, claiming $100,000 for those who died and $50,000 for those made sick.
In light of the legal action, Nigel Fisher, the UN's head of humanitarian affairs in Haiti, told the BBC he was unable to comment.
Cholera in Haiti has killed more than 7,500 people and infected about 600,000. It is an infection that causes severe diarrhea and can lead to dehydration and death. Poor sanitation in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake has made it more difficult to control the problem.
Cholera is easily treated but many Haitians do not have access to health care.
In a statement Wednesday, Oliver Schulz, head of mission in Haiti for Médecins Sans Frontières, said if the epidemic was to be contained, significant improvements needed to be made in providing clean water and sanitation.
"This will take time, and this is why medical care for cholera patients remains a key challenge that the Haitian authorities need to address right now," he said.

Even though this stuff is all over the internet, and kind of hard to avoid if you're remotely interested in this sort of thing, it's only fair to say SPOILER WARNING! What follows contains SIGNIFICANT SPOILAGE of what is evidently a super-successful super-movie, so read no further if you've not seen Man of Steel yet and don't want to be forewarned.
seriously, I'm going to spoil this sucker
Okay, so I quite enjoyed Man of Steel, and I therefore admit the title of this post is a wee bit misleading (but just hang on a minute, and I'll get into a little bit of a fight with the movie). I very specifically did not enjoy 2006's Superman Returns, so perhaps some of my MoS pleasure was just relief that here at last was a modern Superman movie that was neither dull nor crippled by hopeless nostalgia for dated and clunky previous iterations of the character.
I had a suspicion I was going to like it ever since the trailers started popping up, just because to me they hinted at a stylish, ambitious, action-oriented blockbuster of the sort Supes has needed for decades.
And on the whole, I'd say this is one of those (quite rare) films that more or less lives up to the promise of its trailers. They were honest and more or less accurate reflections of what we got in the full movie. What the trailers can't convey is that Man of Steel is a remarkably skilfull exercise in narrative structure, by summer superhero blockbuster standards. I thought almost precisely the right amount of time was spent on each stage of Kal-El's life story, and it's not dealt with entirely linearly, which makes that quite an achievement. The use of flashback is really quite elegantly judged, in terms of pacing and context. Me like.
Me also like much else about the film, but I'm not going to going to talk about its many other pluses. I'll just say if you haven't seen it yet (and if so, what are you doing reading this far down? We haven't got to it yet, but there really is a BIG SPOILER coming! It's mere paragraphs away now!) … if you haven't seen it yet, I think it's well worth the price of a movie ticket, if only to see what talented film-makers bravely wrestling with a revisionist take on a global pop-culture icon can do when they're not afraid of taking a few risks.
The price of taking those risks is alienating a portion of the audience, and there's no doubt Man of Steel has done that. There are various reasons some folks have taken offence, one of the biggest of which we'll get to in a minute. For me, there were two, somewhat connected, concerns that slapped me right out of the movie, downright troubling me and leaving me mystified at the thought processes that sometimes go on behind the creative scenes. Both relate to stuff happening in the extended climactic action of the film's last quarter or third or whatever it is.
The first is the 9/11 imagery. I really wish the sight of skyscrapers falling over had not been permanently and irreversibly contaminated with echoes of real-world madness, but for a great many of us – especially Americans and above all New Yorkers, I imagine – it has been. Nobody who makes this kind of movie is unaware of that fact, of course. So when you have sequences of a skyscraper being felled by an aircraft, as you do here, and of people running down city streets with boiling clouds of dust and debris behind them as skyscrapers slump down, and of the stubs of once towering buildings in the background behind dusty faces, a conscious decision has clearly been made to allow those very specific echoes to come to the surface.
I can think of a number of creative reasons for going down that path. I'm not going to get into them here because, to be honest, I don't really much care why the decision was made. I just think it's a lousy decision. Invoking traumatic and in many ways unresolved real-world horror for the sake of energising a fundamentally disposable (however enjoyable and ambitious) summer superhero movie is, imho, a bad call. Whatever the motivations, for me it comes across as tasteless, manipulative and devoid of empathy. Speaking as someone who lost no one, was nowhere near New York and isn't even American – i.e. someone who's surely a good less sensitive to this stuff than an awful lot of potential audience members – I just flat out don't want to be made to think about 9/11 in a Superman movie. In other kinds of movies, absolutely fine; not in this kind. Maybe that's just me (except I know it's not, because others have reported being similarly bothered).
I also know my second grumble isn't just me because I've seen other folk say similar stuff: the off-screen civilian body count. It's not just that by any logical measure this must have one of the highest civilian casualty rates of any superhero movie ever made, even though you hardly see anyone actually die. No, the trouble arose – and the film almost lost me completely – when I thought to myself, in the last few minutes of the movie: 'Hang on, did I just watch a Superman movie in which Superman caused the death or injury of at least as many innocent civilians as he personally saved? I think I did.'
Somehow, Marvel managed to get through Hulk rampages, Avengers vs alien army battles in the middle of New York, Thor vs Destroyer in a rural town, without ever once making me worry about the implied civilian casualties. MoS left me slack-jawed with stupefaction at the implications of what Superman was doing in built-up areas. I mean, the guy had to have been leaving a trail of maimed and crushed and crippled passers-by littering the ground like autumn leaves, the way he was carrying on. He throws stuff around, he punches/pushes Zod and other Kyrptonians through buildings (through a gas station even, if I remember right!), he basically causes some of the aforementioned falling skyscrapers, he generally behaves with near-total disregard for the consequences of his fisticuffs. A little bit of it (the bit when the Kryptonians threaten Ma Kent) can be justified as him being a bit overwrought, but the rest of it? Naughty boy, Supes.
You might get away with all of this (I don't really think you would, but whatever) if you saw Superman directly saving a lot of people at the same time, but you don't. The scales remain wildly imbalanced. As with the 9/11 stuff, I could guess at some creative reasons why the film-makers may have allowed this perception to arise (although it's possible they thought no one would care/notice, if they made the action spectacular enough, I suppose) but again, I don't really care because unfortunately I think what happens at the very end of the movie makes it an irretrievable mistake, narrative-wise.
I speak, of course, of that bit where Superman snaps Zod's neck. Which doesn't really bother me in itself. I know lots of folks are appalled by it, as some sort of betrayal of the character, but I don't mind. In fact, in principle, I rather like it as a logical and dramatic device, and a set-up for sequels to come, and applaud the film-makers for having the courage to go that route. Or I would if the motivation for killing Zod wasn't saving the lives of innocent humans. In isolation it works fine, but when you've spent the previous half hour fretting about all the folks getting pulped as a consequence of Superman's carelessness, it rings a horribly discordant note and only serves to shine a light on all the previous – and avoidable, at least some of it – implied carnage.
Hard as it might sound to believe, after getting all that off my chest, I really did enjoy lots of stuff about the movie. I think it was a valiant, imaginative and frequently stirring and exhilarating effort at rejuvenating a seriously problematic franchise. I'll be in the line to see episode 2. I just really, really hope they do something about the collateral damage issue.
Because whatever else he's about, one thing I know for absolute sure: Superman's not about collateral damage.

"Winter depression" typically manifests, as the name implies, during winter months. The symptoms usually begin in late autumn and become more severe as winter sets in. Also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), winter depression usually improves and sometimes disappears altogether in the spring and summer. For many people, it starts over again every fall.
While the exact cause is not known, a lowered exposure to sunlight during shorter days of autumn and winter can contribute to it. Less exposure to sunlight decreases the ability of the hypothalamus to function correctly, thereby affecting the levels of serotonin and melatonin as well as the circadian rhythm -- three critical elements in keeping depression at bay.
Symptoms of winter depression
The nature and severity of symptoms differ from person to person. Some people may find the condition irritating; for others it can have a significant impact on their day-to-day lives.
The following are some of the most common symptoms of winter depression:
- A persistent low mood starting in autumn or early winter onward
- Loss of pleasure or interest in routine activities and hobbies
- Feelings of despair, neglect, guilt, and irritability
- Low self-esteem
- Having crying fits on a regular basis
- Feeling stressed-out or anxious
- Low sex drive
- A decreased tendency to mingle with others
- Feelings of loneliness
Some people experience the symptoms in phases separated by intervals when they feel elated, energetic and more sociable.
In addition to general symptoms of depression, you may:
- Feel lethargic and exceptionally sleepy during the day. (Daytime sleepiness is an early warning sign of winter depression.)
- Have difficulty concentrating
- Crave foods rich in carbohydrates
- Feel less active than usual
Top winter depression tips
While craving warmth and staying in bed for a few minutes longer every morning is normal in winter, loading up on carbs and getting teary-eyed every moment of the day is not. The following tips can help you beat the winter blues.
- Increase your exposure to sunlight: Without adequate exposure to sunlight, the serotonin levels in the body can drop, and low serotonin levels lead to an enhanced risk of winter depression.
- Experiment with artificial light: Look into purchasing a light box, as it mimics the natural sunlight by emitting up to 10,000 lux. A regular light fixture usually emits anywhere between 250-500 lux. A light box works by reducing the secretion of melatonin in the brain. Melatonin is dubbed the "hormone of the dark" as its principal function is to promote sleep. Reduction in melatonin levels is integral to fighting depression. A light box can be used to effectively "lengthen" the day; just use it before daylight, post-sunset, or a combination of the two.
- Exercise daily: Something as simple as a brisk 30-minute walk can recharge you for the day. Even a single hour of aerobic exercise outdoors has the same degree of therapeutic effect as 2-3 hours of light treatment indoors.
- Limit your sugar intake: When you are already suffering from winter blues, your body will likely crave high-calorie foods rich in carbohydrates. These foods raise the serotonin levels in your body, and serotonin is a neurotransmitter which elicits feelings of elation and optimism in the brain. The problem? Likely weight gain and other health issues that, in a vicious circle, can lead to depression.
- Vitamin D-3: Exposure to the sun's rays triggers the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin. The body's development of this vitamin declines in the winter. While study results are mixed, most researchers agree that taking a vitamin D-3 supplement can increase energy levels and help fight lethargy and depression.
- Indulge in winter activities: Spice up the season with winter activities. Snowshoeing, snowboarding, skiing, winter hiking, ice skating -- they are all great ways to embrace the season. Indulge in at least one of the activities every weekend, and the memories will help brighten the dull days of the week.
- Break out of the rut: In winter it's easy to get stuck in an unproductive, lazy routine. Shake things up by wearing bright and bold colors. Style your hair in a new way. Try reaching out to an old friend or meet new people over a warm cup of coffee. Socializing and bonding with people can make you feel loved and happy.
- Refurbish your home: When you surround yourself with all things warm and vibrant, you invariably end up feeling happier. Consider painting your walls in pastel shades. Transform a dull, white kitchen into a yellow, airy retreat. Convert a drab, dark living room into an inviting haven. While you're at it, hang colorful artwork on the walls and maybe toss a few eye-catching pillows on the sofa.
- Dress up for the cold: One of the primary reasons many people complain about the winter is that they cannot wear clothes that make them look and feel sexy. If that applies to you, re-examine your wardrobe and dress in colorful, trendy winter wear. Pair up your skirts and dresses with stockings and knee-high boots. Raise your hotness quotient and garner some praise and attention this winter.
While winter might not feel terrific to many of us, it does come with its share of good things. Festivals, roaring fires, hot chocolate, snowball fights and cozy nights are just some of them. Take a deep breath, make up your mind to accept the season and keep a positive attitude, and before you know it, the dreary, cold days will fly by.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released a redesigned Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document, commonly referred to as an "EAD card." Part of USCIS's larger effort to eliminate document fraud, the redesign enhances the card's security features to discourage tampering and misuse. The enhanced security measures include optically variable ink along the top of the card and a holographic image on the front of the card.
How does the redesigned EAD card affect employers' Form I-9 compliance obligations?
The redesigned EAD card serves the same purpose as the prior version and will remain a "List A" document for employment verification purposes. "List A" documents establish a worker's identity as well as his or her authorization to work in the United States.
An applicant for employment may still present a valid and unexpired prior version of Form I-766/EAD card to satisfy Form I-9 document requirements. The redesigned Form I-766 will be phased in incrementally. Foreign nationals in possession of the prior version will only receive the redesigned EAD card to replace a lost or stolen card or upon a card's expiration. A foreign national can apply for a new card no more than 120 days prior to expiration date.
For more information, or if you have any questions regarding the issues discussed in this Immigration Alert, please contact any of the following attorneys:

The University of Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) has been chosen to participate on behalf of New York State in the International Renewable Energy Technology Institute, a global consortium recently established to "accelerate the adaptation and implementation of renewable energy technologies around the world."
Academic institutions in 16 U.S states have been invited by IRTI's organization committee - made up of U.S. and Swedish leaders in business, government and academia - to take part in the new organization. Two other states received membership offers: Georgia, through the Univ. of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Minnesota, through the Minnesota state university system.
"Working through IRTI, researchers from across the globe will work jointly to advance renewable energy technologies that will provide opportunities for U.S.-based companies to supply clean energy products and services to the European market while also testing and qualifying technologies developed in Sweden for introduction into the U.S. market," according to an April 3 media release.
CNSE's Energy and Environmental Technology Applications Center (E2TAC) will lead participation in IRETI in partnership with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation, and Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture and Engineering. CNSE also intends to leverage its relationships with 50 industrial, university and government partners through its leadership role in New Energy New York.

RH reported fiscal first quarter net income of $35.7 million, or $1.43 per share, up from $25.5 million, or $1.01 cents per share, last year. Adjusted EPS of $1.85 blew past the FactSet consensus of $1.53. Revenue of $598.4 million was ahead of the $557.4 million reported last year and the FactSet estimate of $584.0 million. The company now expects fiscal 2019 adjusted EPS of $8.76 to $9.27, up from previous guidance for $8.05 to $8.69. "The top line is the primary story for Q1 in our opinion," wrote Stifel analysts in a note. Stifel rates RH shares buy with a $140 price target. "Confidence in underlying trends as well as new product lines such as RH Beach House led the company to materially raise full-year guidance by more than the Q1 beat," wrote Wedbush analysts, who rate RH stock outperform with a $160 price target. About 70% of the RH Beach House collection is new products. And Cowen analysts note that RH Chief Executive Gary Friedman seems pleased with the early indications on the collection's book. "We believe RH is redefining the $143 billion U.S. home furnishing market by using its scale and unique lifestyle approach to offer superior quality product at value unmatched by competitors," said Cowen. Analysts there maintain their market perform stock rating with a $120 price target. RH is up 2.2% in Tuesday trading, and down 3.5% for the year to date.

If your business will be involved in issuing and trading stocks, it will need to comply with all applicable securities laws. While this area of law is particularly tedious and complicated, a basic understanding will help you avoid mistakes. It's particularly important to avoid anything that is (or could be considered) insider trading because it is a federal crime.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforces laws against insider trading and has been known to come down hard on violators. Inside information is that which you learn about your company or a closely-allied company, that is not generally available to the public, and which could cause the security's price to change if it became known to the public. The SEC has various insider trading rules and the following list provides the basic do's and don'ts of insider trading.
What Is Insider Trading?
Insider trading is a type of securities fraud, and is a serious crime. A person is an "insider" if he or she has confidential information of the financial state of a company. This can be a high level employee, a person in the financial department, or even a family member of an employee with inside information.
Insider trading occurs when an insider makes decisions about buying or selling stocks based on confidential information that has not yet been disclosed to the public. For example, if a member of a corporation's board of directors knows that a merger will be announced soon -- which will likely result in the stock prices going up -- and buys stocks based on this information, he may be prosecuted for insider trading.
THE DO's
THE DON'Ts
Getting Legal Help
Securities laws can be very complex and complying with the laws can be tedious. In addition, improperly complying with securities laws can result in severe consequences for your business, and even yourself personally. If you have any questions about insider trading, or securities laws in general, it's in your best interest to contact an experienced securities attorney in your area.

I often dither in the supermarket at certain key stations. 1) Eggs. Happy eggs. Free range farm eggs. Organic eggs. Which represents the best value for money and taste, whilst being ethically sound? 2) Loo roll. Comfort is important no matter what anyone says, but considering the sheer disgusting waste it represents, there should be some kind of ethical consideration. That usually means buying recycled. Ouchy. 3) Bread. I'm a bread whore, by which I mean I have zero brand loyalty and pretty much pimp out my bread purchase to whoever is willing to give me a good price. As long as it's wholemeal for Finn's cheese and ham sarnies, I'm in. (*of course, we also buy artisan bread from our local bakers, blah, blah, blah). Well, I shall dither no more because One brand has swooped in and brought a killer two-birds-one-stone solution to solve all my dithering needs.

I tried to get both of my kids to write resolutions for the new year. I thought our New Year's escape to Ojai would be an ideal opportunity. I enVISIONed myself neatly writing down their respective resolutions during the three-hour drive, hoping they would motivate each other and find some new aspirations for 2014. Well…we snacked and listened to music and talked during the drive (to and from) and neither kid ever took the "resolution" bait.
Flash forward to the last Friday night of Christmas vacation. Sports practices and high school games were back in full swing, "voluntary" 3-day soccer camps were ongoing and my daughter's science fair project loomed with a glaring annoyance. One day after soccer camp, my daughter talked her BFF into being her "timer" as she tracked the results of her science experiment. They finished and came inside to change for my son's high school basketball game. When I came downstairs, ready to leave, both girls had on furry pajamas and were cozied up under their blankets watching a movie. Clearly, a brother's basketball game was nowhere on their tuckered little radars.
And since they had a night of movie watching on their agenda I said, "Why don't you create Vision Boards!" Yep – blank stares. Their interest perked up a little bit when I explained what a Vision Board is. Then I pulled up some "cool" examples on Pinterest and they said, "Yeah, we'll do that." I gathered up every magazine in the house so they could start cutting and tearing out images and words that appealed to them. I explained there was no right or wrong to the process. They simply needed to put aside those things that appealed to their passions and instincts without thinking too hard about it.
I found black canvases at Aaron Brothers (cheers to the 2-for-1 penny sale) and when I got back from the basketball game, they were still on the couch cutting away with scraps strewn everywhere. The girls happily worked for at least four hours on their boards. My daughter's friend created a board that highlighted fashion and her individual style. We embellised the border of the canvas with a few diamond specks and fresh rose petals for extra impact. My daughter's board was a random smattering of sports, surf and expressions that fit her personality.
I used large pushpins to attach a thick burlap ribbon into the back of the canvas frame so they could hang their boards wherever they wanted. I also added an envelope on the back of each board that says "Goals" so they can drop in any goal that pops into their heads during the year.
Apparently there IS a correct way to create a Vision Board and the method has proven effective in achieving goals and dreams that we each manifest internally (I found this article on Oprah online but there are hundreds of articles and examples out there).
Personally, I love the "no thinking," creative, instinctual aspect of putting a Vision Board together. And rather than writing a list of resolutions that may just add to our daily pressure and checklists and failures, I prefer the easy roadmap style of this process. I think of a Vision Board as a gentle daily reminder of where each of us wants to go – in our own time and at our own pace.
I have gathered a new stack of magazines and plan on having a few friends over for a "Vision Board" party (wine included). Happy New Year. Be good to yourselves.

PNN/ Hebron/
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Monday morning have shot dead three Palestinian youths in two separate shootings, claiming they intended to carry operatives at the entrance of Kiryat Arba illegal settlement near Hebron.
The Palestinian ministry of health confirmed that the three have passed away. Thyey were identified as Qassem Jaber (31), Naim Al-Junaidi (22) and Youssef Tarayra (18).
Israeli media claimed that two Israeli soldiers sustained light to moderate injuries in the three Palestinians' alleged car-ramming attacks.
IOF claimed to have found "arms" in the first car which was ridden by two youths, and claimed that they were planning to carry out a run-over operative against them.
In the second shooting at the same spot, IOF claimed that the driving youth was intending to run over soldiers and paramedics who were giving first aid to an Israeli soldier injured in the first attack.
Palestinian red crescent said that IOF prevented their paramedics from approaching any of the wounded Palestinians, leading to their death.

-It's one of those taken-for-granted rudiments of citizenship on the road, a rule instinctively digested, if for no other reason than a driver's ed instructor shouted at you until you learned it. Yield at the light, even if you have to wait for a yellow. If you're lucky, you'll get a green arrow, a boon to send you on your way.
Even that has seemed a scarcity for eastbound drivers on M Street, who frequently discover — or are reminded — that making a left turn into upper Georgetown is awfully difficult. But thanks to a little coaxing by Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans, the ANC 2E and others, that's about to change.
"We need a united community behind us … People have to be aware of it, they have to like the idea," Evans said of a petition to DDOT to remove from Wisconsin Avenue a left turn restriction in place on nearly every street north of M. Neighbors have complained for years that the regulations drives traffic, freight vehicles included, up the few narrow streets that do permit left turns, namely 33rd Street.
At the ANC's June 28 meeting, DDOT Director Gabe Klein was invited up to the podium, where he sketched a rough plan for removing the no-left-turn sign at the Wisconsin and M intersection with minimal impact to traffic density and wait times.
The major obstacle? Such a change would impact the time eastbound drivers wait at the light, according to DDOT projections handed out at the meeting. At an intersection that already sustains a daily volume of 40,000 vehicles, adding a left-turn phase to the light cycle would cause the wait time to double throughout the day. In a worst-case scenario, morning drivers heading downtown could sit at the light for almost six minutes. You can bet DDOT would hear about that one.
"We're trying to find a balance between time and space," Klein said. His solution is to remove 11 parking spaces near the intersection, which would better distribute car volume across M Street's three lanes — and keep wait times consistent with current levels.
The plan enjoyed rave reviews by most meeting attendees. The BID's Jim Bracco said, "Without equivocation, we're for this." Hazel Denton, CAG's transportation committee chair, agreed.
"The residents would love to do something that would take some of the traffic out of the neighborhood," she said. The ANC submitted a resolution in unanimous support of the plan.
Others aired friendly suggestions to Klein. Though he voted for the measure, Commissioner Ed Solomon added that more work needs to be done to alleviate traffic volume throughout Georgetown's stretch of M Street. Neighbor Ken Archer proposed removing the bus stop at the Wisconsin and M intersection, saying it would alleviate congestion caused by buses turning onto M Street and immediately stopping.
Klein agreed to consider it. Good feelings all around. Imagine that: the whole neighborhood in agreement.
The left turn restriction is expected to be removed by the end of August 2010.

The BBC reported yesterday that an inquest had heard that a man stabbed his wife and smothered his children before killing himself at their Hampshire [UK] home.
The BBC writes:
Andrew Case, 33, was found dead along with wife Vicki, 31, and their two girls Nereya, one, and Phoebe, two, at their home in Fordingbridge in 2010.
He was prescribed an anti-smoking drug, which can have anger side effects, but no traces were found in his blood.
The coroner ruled Mrs Case and her daughters were unlawfully killed and Mr Case killed himself.
The hearing heard Mr Case was originally given 28 Champix anti-smoking tablets on 10 July last year and a further 56 tablets by a chemist on 23 July last year, the day the family had returned from a week-long holiday to Weymouth, Dorset.
The original prescription packet of tablets was found empty in the house and only 28 of the extra tablets were found.
I have highlighted Champix [Varenicline] on this blog many times. Champix, strangely called Chantix in the US, is an anti-cessation smoking drug from the stable of Pfizer. It has been in the news quite frequently but its risks have always been played down by the pharmaceutical giant.
Champix tablets contain the active ingredient varenicline, which is a medicine used to help people who are addicted to nicotine to give up smoking. It acts in the brain, but is not the same as nicotine replacement therapy.
*There have been reports of suicidal thoughts or behaviour in people taking this medicine to help them give up smoking.
Although Chantix [Champix] has never been classed as an antidepressant it does have some indirect actions on dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that some anti-depressant medications work on.
Back in 2009 I wrote to The Civil Aviation Authority, the UK's specialist aviation regulator, and asked them if Pfizer's Champix had been banned in Pilots. Dr Paul Collins Howgill, Head of Aviation Medicine Training at Gatwick wrote back the following resonse:
Dear Mr Fiddaman
Thank you for your email of the 15th August concerning Varenicline.
I can confirm that the United Kingdom CAA has not permitted pilots or air traffic controllers to take this drug whilst holding a valid UK CAA issued medical certificate. This is because of the side effect profile.
We are also aware that although the FAA initially allowed this drug to be taken by pilots and air traffic controllers certificated by the FAA, they subsequently withdrew this approval.
I am unsure as to what the regualtory policy is in other National Aviation Authorities within Europe.
Kindest regards
Dr Paul Collins Howgil
If Champix/Chantix has been banned for use in pilots and air traffic controllers then one could assume that train drivers and controllers and possibly bus/coach drivers would be told to abstain from this particular drug too?
Some time ago, BBC Scotland aired a documentary regarding Pfizer's blockbuster drug. I've included this documentary for your perusal.
It's in four parts and well worth watching:

Raising Chicks for Beginners:
Tips From an Intermediate Homesteader
Raising chicks seems intimidating to the beginning homesteader. I can say that because I was a beginning homesteader only two and a half years ago! I'm here to tell you my journey through raising chicks and you can do as you please with the information. Let's get started.
Where do I get my chicks?
You might not believe it, but you can start raising chicks by ordering them in the mail! In my area, Rural King has chicks year round and Tractor Supply seems to get chicks starting in late spring/early summer. We also have a local farm store that I've bought chicks from. I've never bought chicks from Tractor Supply but I'll admit they seem to take better care of their chicks because they have less of them.
I don't mean to put Rural King on blast, and I do shop there often, but I've seen bloody feces and dead chicks in their brooders early in the morning so I just hesitate to buy chicks from my local Rural King. I feel that some of the employees do not treat the little chick-a-dees well. What I suggest is going to your farm stores early in the morning while they're opening to see how dedicated they are to cleaning the brooders and keeping the maintenance up for healthy animals.
My local farm store had great chicks and they're very dedicated to the quality of life and products at their little store. They even have a rabbitry in the back, which is awesome in my opinion! I have to go ahead and tell you that the last two times I bought chicks, I ordered them online. We've also bought ducklings online. These are the two stores we've purchased baby animals from:
Metzer Farms and The Chick Hatchery
I've received healthy animals from both of the above businesses and The Chick Hatchery seems to even give you an extra chick! My husband thinks this is an "insurance policy". The fact of the matter when shipping chicks are sometimes you lose one. Most companies will replace dead chicks, but be sure to check the policies before choosing who to use. Also, remember, if you have fertilized eggs you can just hatch your own, which makes raising chicks every more fun!
What do I need in order to start raising chicks?
- The Brooder: Your brooder can be very simple or not. When Emerson and I started raising chicks we bought a large plastic storage container/Tupperware from Walmart and raised the chicks in our spare bedroom. Now we raise our chicks in a wooden brooder I built out in the hen house. The one thing you want to make sure of is that your chicks have enough room. I'm trying to nurse a chick back to health right now from being trampled. If your chicks don't have enough room they'll have to fight each other to get to where they're going and your weaker chicks might not make it.
- The Heat Lamp: The heat lamp will be a special lamp you buy from a farm store or online. You'll need a way to adjust the light closer or further from the chicks, and we'll go over that in just a moment. I used to use a clear bulb and now I use a red bulb. Using a red bulb heats your area up a little warmer and reduces the risk of your chicks picking their feathers or if wounded, pecking at the open wound. Some even say the red bulb reduces the likelihood of restless chicks. I can't speak to whether it's true or not, from my experiences.
- The Water Reservoir: You don't want your waterer to be too 'open' because it'll increase the likelihood of the chicks drowning in it. The first few times I raised chicks I put a few pebbles in the trough and I used this waterer. I've personally never had a chick drown, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. I now use a larger waterer, the same that I use with my adult chickens, and it works just fine. Again, if you're worried, you can always add a few pebbles in the trough to avoid the chick from submerging its head inside.
- A Spot for Food and Grit: In the link above for the waterer, it comes with a feed container also. I use the small, quart feeders and waterers when I have 10 chicks or less. I currently have 19 chicks in my brooder so the small containers aren't enough. There are a few different options for feeders. There's the trough and the hanging feeder (doesn't HAVE to hang). I've used the trough and don't like it very much. When the chicks are rather small, they get their heads stuck in the holes and once they're a bit larger they can't seem to get the feed at the bottom of the trough. The hanging feeder is perfect because it's a slow feeder so I only have to fill it once every couple of days and the food is easily accessible. You'll need grit if your chicks won't' be free-ranging, having access to small stones and what not to digest food. I don't give my chicks grit, but I suggest reading about what grit is and if you need it for your specific situation!
- Bedding: There are so many options for your bedding. Some people use shredded newspapers, puppy pads, or some other shredded paper. I use pine shavings because I feel they're more absorbent, smell great, and there are different options for size. I use the fine shavings when they're younger so it's easier for them to walk on. You only need about an inch of bedding in my experience. Whatever you use, make sure it's a safe material for your chickies and it's easy for their growing legs to walk on. You want a material that promotes healthy and strong legs!
How do I keep my chicks alive?
First, know that chicks are tougher than you may think. Unfortunately, I learned this the hard way. There've been a few times in the winter that I turned the heat lamp off outside when it definitely should've been on. The chicks survived when I expected them not to, but I definitely do not advise you to do what I've done. Raising chicks is fun, but mistakes are possible.
Your day old chicks need to have a spot in their brooder to go to if they're cold. This spot will, of course, be underneath the heat lamp. For the first week, that spot should be 95º and I suggest you buy a simple thermometer for your first rodeo. Every week, decrease the temperature by 5º. Around 6 weeks the chicks should have all their feathers and should be able to withstand temperatures of 70º. If you're raising chicks in the deep of winter, I suggest keeping the heat lamp around if your brooder is big enough just in case. Your chicks can freeze to death but can also die of heat stroke.
Is all this stuff about raising chicks seeming stressful? I'll make it a little simple with a tip! If the chicks are all trying to get away from the heat lamp then your brooder is too hot. If the chicks are all huddled together under the lamp, they're not warm enough. You want your chicks evenly scattered throughout your brooder at night. In the daytime, they'll rest a bit but should mostly be up and peeping and poking around the brooder checking it out. I don't use a thermometer anymore and you won't always have to, either! Since I'm located in Central Florida, (it's August) I turn the heat lamp off during the day and on at night, so they have the option to get under it.
Bonus Tip: When your chicks are resting, they'll look almost dead. They'll be laying on their side and all sprawled out. When beginning, I'd say definitely check them and make sure they're not actually dead but also checking them will familiarize you with the actions of your new baby friends.
Will my chicks get sick?
I've only had one sick chick while raising chicks. The chick had bumble foot and he got over it. I separated him, which you should always immediately do if you believe you have a sick animal. I mixed coconut oil in his food, fed him kale and carrot bits, and put apple cider vinegar (
ACV) in his water and after 2-3 weeks he was back to normal.
As a preventative, you can add a little ACV to your chicks waterer every time you fill it up, just be sure to not add too much! One thing I have had to deal with a few times is what we call "Pasty Butt" and it can be deadly. This is when your chicks vent (where the stools, and eventually eggs, come out) becomes clogged with hard poo. The poo sticks to the chicks 'downy' feathers and they have no way of getting the hard poop off. As you might have already realized but this prevents the chick from pooping.
Pasty butt is common while raising chicks that have been sent in the mail because they're going through the stress of being shipped, getting a little hotter than they should, not having access to water, etc.
If you see that your chick has pasty butt, you need to act immediately. If you've ever been constipated you'll know that it's nothing to wish upon another being. Sorry for "TMI"!
How should I deal with pasty butt?
- Materials Needed:
Warm Water
Soft Rag
Coconut Oil (Some use Vaseline or olive oil)
- Method:
Pick up the chicks with your hand over its wings so it can't flap around and hurt itself. Gently turn the chick over and wet its pasty butt. Dip your Q-Tip in the coconut oil and dab it on the dried feces. NOTE: Be extremely careful while doing this. You don't want to rip the dried poop from the little chicks booty because you can open a wound and hurt it. Slowly alternate from dipping the Q-Tip in water and oil of choice until the poop starts to soften. You can then start to slowly peel the poop off with the Q-Tip. Change the Q-Tip as often as possible and never, ever, ever penetrate the vent hole with your Q-Tip. This can severely harm the chick. Just a heads up, your chick is going to be really pissed off. The first time you do this won't be pleasant for either party, but it must be done. Once you've successfully removed all the poop from the rear, smear some clean coconut oil on and around the vent (NOT IN!) and put the chick back in the brooder.
- Ways to Prevent Pasty Butt:
- Have a large enough brooder so they can comfortably get under the lamp if too cool and away from the lamp if too warm.
- Don't feed treats at a young age. 0-10 weeks they should be fed "Starter" feed, 10 weeks you switch them to "Grower", and around 18 weeks you can give them regular "Layer" feed. This is a great page that breaks it all down for you.
- Always provide water. Water is so crucial!
- If you decide to give your chicks treats, you should also provide grit.
- Check on them! I check my peepers once a day for pasty butt. This might be the best way to prevent chicks from getting it.
- Symptoms include:
- Lethargy
- Not eating or drinking
- Protruding Vent
- And, of course, a nasty looking poopy backside.
This seems hard. Should I even start raising chicks?
It's not as hard as it seems when you read about it! It's a little stressful at first because you have these cute little peeping pets that are now your responsibility but, if you pay attention, they'll tell you what they need. Make sure you have all the materials BEFORE getting home. Have the food, water, and bedding in the brooder and have the light setup to where it needs to be. Check on them as often as you can and want when you first start. This is how you learn, folks. I still check on my little ones 3-4 times a day! And remember, the internet is a wonderful resource. If you ever have questions, ask the internet. I welcome you to ask me, also, and I'll give you my best answer!
Now, go out and start raising chicks and have fun! It's a wonderful experience and an amazing process to see these bitty animals morph into adult hens and roos.

Midges bitesJesús Borobia
Where: skin and subcutaneous tissue
Possible causes: ErysipelaExudative EpidermitisMange
Multifocal, slightly raised and hyperaemic lesions with 0.5 to 2 cm in diameter widespread all over the carcass caused by midges bites (Culicoides obsoletus). Pruritic discomfort was detected in live animals. Sows and pigs were affected.
Reports of biting midges in pigs are rare in the literature. The importance of parasitic arthropods to pig production depends of the geographical location and the production system used. The direct economic impact of biting midges on pig production has not been studied. Skin blemishes from insect bites at slaughter may lead to unnecessary trimming or even condemnation, as seen in this case.
