Tzu Chi Q&A
A Glimpse into the Missions and Spirit of Tzu Chi
Living in this world, we are all family.
Care for one another in times of peace,
and help one another in times of disaster.
1. When did Tzu Chi start its international relief work?
In 1991, Tzu Chi took its first step in international relief when it provided aid to children orphaned in the Persian Gulf War and those affected by flooding in Bangladesh and China.
2. How many countries has Tzu Chi provided aid to?
3. What are the principles of Tzu Chi's disaster relief?
Timeliness: to deliver relief supplies in the shortest possible time.
Directness: to personally bring the supplies hand-to-hand to those affected.
Priority: to focus on the worst-hit areas and those most in need of aid.
Respect: to respect the local customs, cultural traditions, lifestyles, and religions.
Practicality: to offer aid that disaster survivors need.
4. How does Tzu Chi usually conduct its international relief projects?
Tzu Chi's international relief has been carried out in four ways: (1) Tzu Chi works independently to carry out disaster or poverty relief work. Examples: |
As Tzu Chi has expanded globally, most of its international relief work is now carried out in the following three ways: (2) Tzu Chi and its overseas offices work together to carry out disaster relief. Examples: |
(3) Overseas Tzu Chi offices work independently to carry out relief work in their countries of residence. Examples: |
(4) Tzu Chi works together with other international charity organizations to help people in need of aid. Relief International: Examples: Knightsbridge International: Red Cross: CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere): Healey International Relief Foundation and Caritas Freetown Foundation: |
6. What does Tzu Chi do to help countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic?
As of November 2020, Tzu Chi has provided the following relief supplies to 86 countries and regions affected by the pandemic:
7. What is Tzu Chi's cash-for-work relief program?
When a disaster strikes, Tzu Chi will pay those affected and work hand-in-hand with them to clean up their own communities and other disaster areas. As a form of relief, this program not only brings hope to disaster survivors by allowing them to rebuild their lives with the money they earn, but also helps the affected areas recover sooner as a result of collective effort.
8. How does Tzu Chi help disaster survivors, especially those who are impoverished to begin with, start life anew?
Apart from providing emergency relief to people in the immediate aftermath of a disaster or building temporary or permanent housing for them, Tzu Chi will further look at ways to help disaster survivors living in poverty become self-reliant. For example, after constructing a village for Typhoon Yolanda survivors in Palo of Leyte Province in the Philippines, Tzu Chi volunteers have been guiding the villagers to grow vegetables, bake bread, make vegetarian meal sets, and sew handbags to make a living. The volunteers also purchase used tricycles and loan them to the villagers interest-free so they can work as tricycle taxi drivers to support their families. |

Tzu Chi volunteers purchase used motor tricycles for Typhoon Yolanda survivors in Palo, Leyte Province, Philippines so they can make a living as tricycle taxi drivers. (Cai Juan-hua) |
9. What is TIHAA?
TIHAA, or Tzu Chi International Humanitarian Aid Association, was founded in 2003 by a group of entrepreneurs from various industries in Taiwan to provide logistical support to Tzu Chi's disaster relief efforts and to develop goods for use in times of disaster. For example, as disaster areas often lack electricity, TIHAA has worked with Tzu Chi's monastic practitioners to develop instant rice that can be prepared just by adding cold water. It has also developed technologies to process recycled plastic bottles into fiber, which is then made into blankets and clothing to be given out to the needy and disaster survivors. |
Tzu Chi's instant rice comes in many flavors and is a convenience food for Tzu Chi volunteers during their relief missions. (Wu Bi-hua) |
These thermal blankets to be given out to students in need at a school in Thailand are made from recycled PET bottles. (Kang Ya-feng) |
10. What devices has Tzu Chi designed or innovated for the sake of its disaster relief efforts?
To carry out relief timely and effectively in times of crisis or disaster, Tzu Chi has innovated several devices with the help of Taiwan's industrial technology experts as well as Tzu Chi volunteers and staff:
1. All-terrain vehicle |
2. Mobile kitchen |
3. Mobile water purification system |
4. Gasifier stove and biomass fuel |
5. Temporary housing and classroom |
6. Solar street light |
7. Portable bed |

Citroen Grand C4 Picasso Exclusive+ BlueHDi
We review Citroen Grand C4 Picasso on UK roads for the first time
There are more spacious MPVs than the Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, but none delivers the same high level of style and technology. Striking looks and class-leading efficiency will attract plenty of family buyers, and the focus on comfort rather than dynamic flair is appropriate for the class. It still does all the practical stuff well, and the largest Picasso is definitely the model to go for.
Space and style rarely mix but the futuristic Citroen Grand C4 Picasso could be the car to inject some desirability into the MPV class. We've tested it in the UK to see how it stacks up to the best seven-seat rivals.
Aside from those ultra-modern looks, Citroen has also taken a really creative approach to the interior design, and it takes time to adjust to the lounge-like cabin.
In the automatic model that we tried the gear selector is mounted on the steering column like in an old American saloon car, but this frees up space for a huge armrest and storage box under the dash, with USB ports, a 12v socket and SD card slot stowed out of sight.
The stylish centre console on the top-spec Exclusive+ model has an enormous 12-inch colour display that replaces traditional dials and a smaller touchscreen to control all the major functions.

These two features both help to push the new Grand C4 Picasso a lot further upmarket - and justify the £27,855 price tag for top-end cars like this one. Build quality is decent too, and the narrow A-pillars and large swept-back windscreen give a fantastic view of the road and let loads of light inside.
• Citroen Grand C4 Picasso review
Practicality is still high up the agenda, and the added flexibility of the third row makes the longer Grand C4 Picasso considerably more spacious than its five-seat sibling. The seating system is a doddle to use, and the seats require little effort to manouevre.
On the road, the 2.0-litre diesel is a strong performer, even if the slightly hesitant automatic gearbox hampers any attempt to make a really quick getaway from traffic lights when driving in town. The soft ride does a fine job of coping with dips and crests on smooth roads but broken surfaces expose the passengers to sudden bumps and judders from the big wheels.
Incredibly light steering gives this vast MPV impressive agility, but quick inputs are still met with plenty of body roll in fast corners.
Despite this, an excellent CO2 figure of 120g/km makes this massive car as cheap to run as something half its size - which will matter a lot more to the majority of buyers than the soft-edged dynamics.

In looking at the state of women's equality in the church, we need to recognize the diversity of what we call the church with its various beliefs, cultures, and practices. While we can speak of a universal church, when it comes to women's equality—as evidenced by licensing and ordination, senior pastor and senior leadership positions, the roles women are allowed to serve in, and other factors—we must recognize the ways in which these factors as well as the source of inequality varies by individual church.
I begin with this discussion because some of the most prominent images of the church in the mainstream media tend to be nondenominational, evangelical Southern Baptist, and Catholic churches. This is not my context. Thus, as I reflect on the state of women's equality in the church, I must also reflect on my ministry in a Black Baptist church context, a church context whose very existence, in some ways, is a response to oppressive, racist religious institutions.
Black Women Are Still Becoming the "First"
In my lifetime and experience, I have never heard a sermon that actively speaks against women preaching. As a Black woman, I have learned to read the Bible with a liberationist hermeneutic. If the Bible is not to be used to justify slavery, then it also is not to be used to justify sexism in the church. I have grown up seeing Black women Baptist ministers be licensed and ordained. I have seen these women preach from the pulpit, and I have also had the opportunity to preach from a pulpit a few times. While I recognize that not all Black Baptist churches are affirming of women in ministry, I share this because on its face, the Black Baptist church is a church in which everyone has equal chance and equal opportunity to serve and lead.
Nevertheless, we see a different story when we look closely at the positions in which women serve. Many women pastors in Black Baptist church contexts serve with women, youth, and children. While it is important to uplift the Black women who are called to this work, we must recognize the ways in which women have at times been restricted to these roles. There are very few Black women who are serving as senior pastors and in senior leadership positions within the Black Baptist church context, and I believe this is a better measure for equality in the church. Black women are still making history in this regard. They are still becoming the first women senior pastors of churches that have been around for over one hundred years.
On August 7, 2021, for example, Rev. Dr. Danielle L. Brown was elected as the first woman senior pastor (the tenth senior pastor) of Shiloh Baptist Church in Plainfield, New Jersey.1 On August 12, 2021, Rev. Dr. Gina Stewart became the first woman chosen to serve in the highest role of a Black Baptist denomination when she was elected as the president of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society.2 Both of these examples demonstrate the ways in which progress has been made, but they also offer us an opportunity to further reflect on the ways in which Black women in ministry do not always have an equal chance and equal opportunity to serve and lead.
Black Women Belong in Every Area of Ministry
While Black women often make up the majority of church membership in Black churches,3 we have historically been excluded from the decision-making tables. It is the men who have served in leadership roles and have chosen other men to be their successors and to serve alongside them. It has also historically been the men who have set the parameters around who can serve in certain roles and positions, often doing so in a way that excludes women from those who are qualified, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Church culture needs to learn to affirm women as not only capable of leading certain groups but as capable of leading and governing entire church institutions. We need to create practices that support women, and we must eradicate the barriers to women leading. Women have to be given a chance to lead—regardless of marital status, age, and other social identities. Just as I would offer that White people play a significant role in addressing racism in the church, I would also propose that men play a significant role in addressing sexism in the church. It is the men who must help advocate for women in ministry, whether that means calling out practices that may exclude women or uplifting the names of women who can serve alongside them in seats of power. Additionally, women in ministry can work to ensure that we aren't the only ones in the room and that we create opportunities for those who will come after us.
Black Women Will Find—Or Create—Welcoming Spaces
As a Black woman minister in the Baptist church who understands her calling as one within the Black Baptist church, I have reflected on all of this throughout my time at Candler School of Theology and especially now as I prepare to graduate in May of 2022. As I think about my own ministry prospects, I wonder, "Is there a place for me to utilize my gifts within the Black Baptist church?" While I understand my gifts as they relate to women in ministry, there is also a part of me that would like the opportunity to serve as a senior pastor someday; however, I rarely entertain that idea because I know that the odds are not in my favor. I also recognize that as a Black woman in ministry, I will likely have to be bi-vocational and may also need additional certifications to help affirm that I am indeed called and qualified by God to do this work.
Still, while there are times when my options seem limited, there are also times when the opportunities for me as a Black woman in ministry are limitless and expansive. I find inspiration in the women who have created spaces for themselves. There are women like Dr. Melva Sampson, who started Pink Robe Chronicles, which she describes as "a digital hush harbor."4 There are Black women in ministry like Rev. Kamilah Hall Sharp, Rev. Dr. Irie Lynne Session, and Rev. Yvette Blair-Lavallais, who set out to create a space for womanist preaching, a space that would become The Gathering, A Womanist Church in Dallas, Texas.5 It is in the stories of these and other women that I know that even if I can't envision a space for myself within a church, I can reimagine what church is, what church looks like, and what church can be.
So as we look at the state of women's equality in the Black church, there is room for growth, but no one can stop those whom God has called. If the church as an institution does not provide space for Black women in ministry to serve, then we will create our own spaces. If one church cannot give us the respect and financial support that we know we are worthy of, we will take our gifts and talents to places where we are affirmed as our whole selves. Black women in ministry are learning to love ourselves and make decisions that reflect that, whether it's within the church as an institution or outside of it.

Andreas Helland Shows How to Cross the OTT 'Chasm' to Give Viewers a Great Experience
BERGEN, Norway — Sept. 8, 2011 — Andreas Helland, formerly head of online sports video at TV2 Norway and currently CFO at Vimond Media Solutions, will be at the IBC Connected World demonstration area on 10 September at 13:00 showing how OTT service providers can deliver a compelling experience to their viewers.
While at TV2, Helland was closely involved in the development of the Vimond online TV platform and its live Sports Center Application. TV2's Sumo OTT service has been the recipient of multiple awards for the quality of experience it provides.
Helland suggests that the challenge of OTT services is a "chasm" that operators must cross successfully in order to generate viewer approval and growth. Helland will demonstrate the Sport Center in action, and discuss how TV2 negotiated sports rights for OTT content. Drawing on his experience from TV2, he will share an overview of the technical, editorial, and commercial benefits of the Vimond platform, and show how TV2 made commercial success in the sports segment of OTT.

MARKETMIND The price of U.S. recovery
A look at the day ahead from Dhara Ranasinghe.
One way or another, Wednesday's U.S. July inflation print could prove key for markets torn between strong data that suggests the time for withdrawing stimulus is nearing and concern that a resurgent delta COVID variant could stall growth.
For two months, markets have largely ignored strong inflation prints, buying into the Fed's mantra that a pick-up in price pressures is temporary. So what's different this time?
Well for starters, Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data has reignited talk that an improving jobs market will encourage the Fed to start tapering soon. Note, the Fed's Raphael Bostic said this week he would only need to see one or two more job reports like July to vote for tapering.
And Tuesday's passing of a $1 trillion infrastructure bill in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate is a reminder that upward pressure on prices could be sustained for longer than anticipated. read more
Having pushed Treasury yields down (and prices up) for four straight months, bond investors are clearly uneasy: 10-year bond yields are up 20 basis points from last week's six-month lows .
Economists polled by Reuters estimate U.S. inflation rose 5.3% in the 12 months through July, versus 5.4% in June.
Given that talk of a Fed taper is usually followed by the word 'tantrum', it remains to be seen if today's number brings relief or panic.
As markets await the release, the dollar is on firm ground, world stocks are trading sideways, European and U.S. stock futures are flat.
In corporate news, high materials prices and demand from the car sector helped Thyssenkrupp (TKAG.DE) swing to an quarterly operating profit read more . And Dutch bank ABN Amro (ABNd.AS) is to resume dividend payments thanks to a strong bounce in net profit.
Key developments that should provide more direction to markets on Wednesday:
– Lenovo Q1 profit more than doubles to beat expectations, shares jump read more
– NortonLifeLock agrees to buy Avast for up to $8.6 bln read more
– German HICP final inflation
– Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Esther
– George, Atlanta Fed's Rafael Bostic speaks
– U.S. auctions: 10-year Treasuries, Germany auctions Bunds
– US Earnings: Wendy's, e-Bay
– European earnings: Dialog Semiconductor, Ahold, E.ON, Vestas, Deliveroo

SEE ALSOLead story: Senator targets professor's ties to big pharma
Among the reasons Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has targeted Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Martin Keller in his scrutiny of conflicts of interest in clinical research is Keller's authorship of a controversial study of the antidepressant Paxil in children.
The study and its authors have been fiercely criticized in medical journals for allegedly misrepresenting data, suppressing information linking the drug to suicidal tendencies and reaching a conclusion unsupported by the relevant data.
The Herald contacted Keller several times starting Sept. 10, but he said he was unavailable for comment before press time.
Keller and his colleagues began looking into paroxetine - marketed as Paxil in the United States - in 1992, when they successfully sought funding for a study of the drug from its maker, SmithKline Beecham - now known as GlaxoSmithKline after a 2001 merger with GlaxoWellcome.
The study, which compared Paxil with another class of antidepressant and a placebo, ran from 1994 to 1997.
Referred to by GSK as Study 329, the study investigated whether Paxil was safe and effective for use in adolescent children suffering from depression.
Paxil is a popular antidepressant widely prescribed by physicians to adult patients, but few large-scale studies of its use in children were conducted before Keller's.
The results of the study were compiled in 1998 and published in 2001 in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, which listed Keller as the lead author in front of 21 others.
It found that "paroxetine is generally well tolerated and effective for major depression in adolescents."
But even as questions about Keller's financial relationships with drug companies remain open, several members of the medical and legal communities have independently criticized his research on scientific grounds.
Articles in medical journals and letters to journal editors have called into question the scientific practices that led to Study 329's conclusion that Paxil is a safe and effective way to treat depression in children.
Misrepresentation, profs say
In 2003, University of Adelaide physicians Jon Jureidini and Ann Tonkin wrote a strongly worded letter to the editor of JAACAP expressing their concern over what they felt was a conclusion unsupported by the data.
The letter argues that the criteria originally decided upon to determine whether Paxil was effective failed to show that Paxil was better than no treatment at all.
Specifically, improvements on the Hamilton rating scale for depression - a questionnaire that rates the severity of symptoms like mood, insomnia and anxiety - were not significantly greater for patients on Paxil than for patients on a placebo or a different drug, imipramine. Paxil patients did improve more than the other two groups, but the improvements in the "primary outcome measures" were too small to support the study's conclusion that Paxil was effective.
In their response to the letter, Keller and seven of Study 329's co-authors conceded that the primary outcome measures decided upon "did not reach significance," but pointed to a number of "secondary outcome measures" - such as scores on other depression assessment tests - that did show a significant improvement.
Keller's response added that in the time between 1993, when the relevant outcome measures were chosen, and 1998, when the study was written, the psychiatric community had moved away from the Hamilton scale and toward the measures that had turned out to be significant.
Though much of the medical community appeared to side with Jureidini and Tonkin - including the editorial boards of leading medical journals the Lancet and the Canadian Medical Association Journal - the disagreement appeared to have reached an impasse, which wasn't bridged until this year.
In May, Jureidini and two other colleagues published a review of Study 329 in the International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine.
In the intervening time between the 2003 letter and the 2008 article, lawsuits against GSK by families of patients who claimed to have been harmed by Paxil gave Jureidini access to previously unreleased documents.
Those documents were subpoenaed by the law firm Baum, Hedlund, Aristei and Goldman, which compensated Jureidini for his work.
Among the documents Jureidini could access were drafts of the paper that had been submitted for peer review.
Before medical journals accept papers for publication, drafts are circulated among medical professionals to carefully scan the paper for miscalculations, careless errors, misleading figures and occasionally larger, more critical inaccuracies.
Jureidini learned that the paper had been rejected by the Journal of the American Medical Association, the world's most widely circulated medical journal.
But, more crucially, Jureidini could now sketch out a timeline of the evolution of the paper, from the first draft submitted to JAMA in 1999 to the final draft published in JAACAP in 2001.
The drafts showed that none of the eight outcome measures outlined in the original 1993 protocols showed a significant positive effect for Paxil over placebo.
Instead, Jureidini argued that the authors had used "selective reporting" to produce their positive conclusion, and introduced new outcome measures in the 2001 paper, some of which were only decided upon after the blind was broken. That means researchers knew which data belonged to the Paxil groups before they chose a method for determining whether the drug was effective.
'Commercially unacceptable' results
Study 329 may have obscured critical findings on Paxil users' suicidal tendencies using creative coding of results.
In the study, "suicidal ideation/gestures" were reported under the label of "emotional lability," which Jureidini sharply called a "euphemism."
In total, Study 329's data showed that patients on Paxil were six times more likely to exhibit "emotional lability" than patients on placebo, and twice as likely than patients on imipramine, the other antidepressant tested in the study. Jureidini pointed out that the study failed to report the significance of those data, which were presented in a table but were not discussed in the text of the article.
Additionally, a GSK report on the study from 1998 identified at least three other patients who threatened suicide or had suicidal thoughts but were coded under "hostility," "worsening depression" or even "euphoria" and so were not grouped with emotionally labile patients. Juredini's calculations showed the serious adverse effects on Paxil to be significant over placebo.
"The misrepresentation about the effectiveness of the drug is something that can't have been accidental," Jureidini said.
The Herald has also obtained a copy of a 1998 GSK position piece marked "for internal use only," in which the company reacts to the findings of Study 329.
The memo says that Study 329's original standards used to measure drug efficacy were not met, but points to "trends in favour of paroxetine."
The document goes on to say that competitors Eli Lilly and Pfizer were making significant progress in testing their respective antidepressants, and concludes with the overall goal to "effectively manage dissemination of these data in order to minimise any potential negative commercial impact ... it would be commercially unacceptable to include a statement that efficacy had not been demonstrated."
By contrast, the company's promotional literature from 1999 trumpeted the efficacy of the product to physicians.
And a 2001 internal memo from Paxil's product manager to sales representatives selling the drug asserted that Keller's "cutting-edge" study showed that "Paxil demonstrates REMARKABLE Efficacy and Safety in the treatment of adolescent depression."
'Potentially confusing' coding
There have also been more controversial allegations raised against Keller and his Study 329 co-authors, many of which appear in former Boston Globe reporter Alison Bass's book, "Side Effects: A Prosecutor, a Whistleblower and a Bestselling Antidepressant on Trial," which was released this summer.
In it, Bass claims that Keller coded some suicidal patients as "non-compliant," which means that their adverse effects would not have been included in the article.
University officials would not release memos about the coding that Keller sent to the University's Institutional Review Board, which could serve to confirm or refute Bass's claims.
But Donna Howard, an assistant administrator under Keller in the mid-1990s, said she had personally faxed those memos to the IRB.
"There was two or three (instances) where there was severe adverse reaction that brought the child into contact either with the police or a hospital, and the children that were involved were eventually dropped from the study and coded as non-compliant," Howard told The Herald.
She said the mood in her office at Butler Hospital would turn sour anytime a patient experienced a serious adverse effect.
"You would come in on Monday and it's, 'Oh no, patient so-and-so attempted suicide or hit a cop or overdosed,'" Howard said.
GSK's Director of U.S. Media Relations Sarah Alspach denied the claim that Study 329 underreported serious adverse effects, citing a 2002 clinical review of the study by the Food and Drug Administration, which "found no statistically significant signal for suicidality," Alspach wrote in an e-mail to The Herald.
Though the FDA review did not find a link in the study between Paxil and increased suicidal tendencies, it noted that researchers' coding of adverse reactions was "potentially confusing."
The report also concluded that Study 329 was a "failed trial," because Paxil was not significantly more effective than placebo.
Two years later, the FDA issued a suicide warning for all selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - the class of antidepressant to which Paxil belongs - after the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency issued a similar warning earlier that year for paroxetine in the United Kingdom.
Then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued GSK in June 2004, charging the company with consumer fraud and alleging that it had deliberately withheld data that showed that Paxil increased suicidal tendencies in adolescents. Spitzer's case targeted only the pharmaceutical company and did not investigate Brown's or Keller's involvement. GSK settled the suit for $2.5 million two months later but admitted no wrongdoing.
As part of the settlement, GSK agreed to release all results from future clinical trials, whether negative or positive.
Jureidini said he is confident that data in Study 329 were deliberately misrepresented but added that he can't definitively attribute the perceived misrepresentation of data to Keller.
"Whether Keller sat down with somebody and said 'Let's try to make this drug look good when really it's not,' is not something I have evidence for," he said.
Charges of ghostwriting
The issue of blame is also complicated by allegations made by Bass and others that Study 329 was ghostwritten by a GSK-affiliated employee.
In any given clinical study with multiple authors, the actual article is usually written by one author and looked over by the others. In this case, there appears to be evidence that the article was drafted by Sally Laden, an editorial director for Scientific Therapeutics Information, the company that prepared the manuscript on GSK's behalf.
Alspach denied the ghostwriting charges but acknowledged Laden's contribution to the study, which was recognized with the line "editorial assistance was provided by Sally K. Laden" in the fine print of Study 329's first page.
But a leaked memo appears to paint Laden as the one who did the vast majority of the writing. Referring to the first draft of the manuscript, a letter from Keller to Laden dated Feb. 11, 1999, begins "Dear Sally, You did a superb job with this. ... It is excellent. Enclosed are rather minor changes from me."
Clinical Associate Professor of Community Health David Egilman '74 MD'78 said such work is unethical unless proper credit is given.
That credit is missing in Study 329, he said.
"In the third grade you're told not to copy," he said. "Now that we're all grown up we've got a really long word for it, but it's the same thing and it's just as wrong."
Egilman noted that ghostwriting is not an entirely uncommon practice in writing up clinical studies.
But it's still considered unethical, he added, especially when the ghostwriter has a stake in the findings.
Lack of U. discussion
Each allegation of scientific misconduct in Study 329 - the claimed ghostwriting, outcome measures switch and miscoding of suicidal patients - have led scientists to call for Brown to lead a public investigation into the issues.
"What I find most distressing is that there has been absolutely no attempt at Brown to even discuss these issues, much less have a forum or an investigation," said Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine Roy Poses '73 MD'78.
"If Keller's actions have been exemplary and that's what everyone at Brown thinks, then they should go public and refute the charges.
If they can't do that, the accusations are serious enough and they should address them."
"When they find out that there's been potentially ethically questionable research ... they're supposed to do a freaking investigation," Egilman said, adding that Keller should be able to present evidence on his behalf.
Poses added that Brown's lack of public discussion of the study, despite widespread interest, is potentially embarrassing for the University.
"Someone (at Brown) should be talking about it, because the rest of the world is talking about it," he said.
Jureidini agreed that Brown should investigate Keller's involvement. Study 329 "can only be interpreted as deliberately misrepresenting what was found," he said.
A lawyer at Baum Hedlund - who is now representing the families of patients who claim to have been harmed by Paxil in class action lawsuits against GSK - said the University's attitude toward his firm's efforts has been "less than cooperative."
Lawyers for the University, George Murgatroyd added, have "fought us every inch of the way."
Murgatroyd said Brown claims it no longer had the memos that Keller had sent to the IRB, Brown's research ethics panel.
The University, however, "can't discuss particular cases of possible claims of wrongdoing and what we do about them," Provost David Kertzer '69 P'95 P'98 said - ending the possibility of a public inquiry.

For those of us with low to moderate beginning ambitions it seems that a scarf is the required item as one's first knitting project*. I am no different; I, too, made a scarf. However, after knowing how to do the knit stitch for several years and not understanding how to do the purl stitch and FINALLY figuring out the darn purl stitch, there was absolutely no way that I was going to make my scarf all in a garter stitch.
I chose a very simple double ribbed pattern. A little bit of knit. A little bit of purl. Practice, practice, practice! And no fancy Yarn Overs (Imagine an early Nintendo voice saying that a la Game Over) or increases or decreases. Or that horribly frightening sounding slip stitch.
I chose a chocolate brown 100% wool. I don't think I like acrylic yarns. The length of the scarf is 6 feet and its width is 3.5 inches, un-stretched. I wanted a long skinny scarf because my red wool coat has a low neckline that lets in lots of cool air.
I'm not sure I got the blocking thing down quite right. Apparently I don't have the 'getting out of pajamas to take the picture' type of thing down either. Doesn't matter. I think I'm already hooked. I went out last night to a local yarn store and picked up some more yarn to make a scarf for Tristyn. I'm thinking a couple of scarves---and I should be confident--and bored!--enough to venture onto other projects.
*Previous attempts at learning knitting do not count towards the true first knitted project.

Netflix has been in the mobile gaming space for a bit, but none of the games that it is giving access to subscribers are made in-house. It has also acquired three other video game makers, but now, it looks like the streaming giant is finally starting its own in-house video game studio.
In its announcement post, Netflix says that it is establishing this internal games studio in Helsinki, Finland. It will be helmed by Marko Lastikka, who was previously the GM of Zynga Helsinki. As for why it chose the location it chose, the streaming company says that this is because "it is home to some of the best game talent in the world". It is also where Next Games, a studio that Netflix acquired earlier this year, is based.
Naturally, with the announcement just being made, it will be a long wait before the studio can push out playable titles to subscribers. As the post itself says, "it's still early days", and that "creating a game can take years". Though for whatever it is worth, the company sounds pretty optimistic about its gaming ventures with the establishing of this studio.
All that being said though, it still remains to be seen if this is something that Netflix subscribers actually want. Previously, CNBC reported that according to stats by Apptopia, less than 1% of subscribers are actively playing the streamer company's games. Of its 221 million subscribers, only 1.7 million are registered as daily users of its games.
It's also worth noting that the internal studio announcement post that Netflix wants to deliver a "variety of delightful and deeply engaging original games – with no ads and no in-app purchases – to our hundreds of millions of members around the world". And the company is saying this with a corporation's version of a straight face while prepping its ad-supported subscription tier for shows. These contradicting messages are sending mixed signals at best.

Women in Samburu County have a reason to smile after Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala pledged to help them source for markets for their Ushanga products. The CS further promised to help self-help groups to undergo further training on the Ushanga products.
Speaking in Samburu when he flagged off a camel race during the Maralal International Camel Derby, the CS said enhanced training will greatly boost the quality of products and broaden the market for the Ushanga products.
"The products bring income in our country as well as generate foreign revenue. We need to transform it to another level," he said.
Balala also revealed that a place has been allocated for the women at the Bomas of Kenya where they can showcase their products to local and international tourists.
The CS further noted that with value addition in the processing of the products, Kenya's tourism epicenter will shift from the predominant tourism ecosystem of the coastal region to other other areas.
He called on residents to maintain peace in order to reap from the tourism sector.
"If there is no peace, then there is no tourism in Samburu. Security is the first thing that will encourage our tourism. Throw the box and think otherwise and tell us what is going to happen in the next years because an event like this is supposed to be an international event," Balala said.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens—the seventh movie created out of what happened when George Lucas wrote down what happened that one time he took acid while reading The Berenstain Bears—will now undoubtedly be the most Jewish Star Wars yet.
The facts: Star Wars: The Force Awakens will premiere on December 18, just four days after Hanukkah ends this year; it's directed by J.J. Abrams, an L.A. Jew who brings his kids to High Holiday services, and whose first initials stand for "Jeffrey Jacob"; and Abrams, it turns out, is a big Beastie Boys (Brooklyn Jews) fan who even included their hit "Sabotage" in his 2012 Star Trek flick (an homage of sorts to Adam Yauch, who died that year). And now, Abrams is apparently continuing in the tradition of including a shout-out to Mike D, MCA, and Ad-Rock in the new Star Wars film.
Earlier this month, an image of a Hasbro Star Wars toy was released, featuring an Ello Atsy, "a skilled if occasionally reckless X-wing starfighter pilot for the Resistance." Ello Atsy could be interpreted as a play on The Beastie Boys' 1998 album, Hello Nasty, which features the song "Intergalactic." What's more is that Ello Atsy's helmet apparently reads "Born to Ill" in Aurebush, a fictional Star Wars language (that totally looks like Hebrew).

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences consists of 5,830 voting members in 16 branches. Of those, the largest group is the Acting branch which consists of 1,251 members.
Among other things, this structure means that films with strong acting in them have better chances to get the Best Picture nomination. Prime examples this year are "Babel," "The Departed," and "Little Miss Sunshine," which boast large and impressive ensembles, and "The Queen," dominated by Helen Mirren's performance.

Marrakech Shopping Tours
Indulge in an Adventure of a Lifetime,
With Our Unforgettable Marrakech Souks Tours!
Experience the Best of Marrakech with Marrakech Shopping Tours!
Morocco is a sight to behold with breathtaking visuals, a rich history, vibrant culture, and bewitching crafts. The Mediterranean breeze mingles with the Atlantic, the Sahara leaves its marks in the atmosphere, and the Atlas adds grandeur to the Kingdom Extraordinaire. If you have never visited Morocco before, now is the perfect time to change that and experience something you won't find anywhere else in the world.
Descending from the great ancient and medieval history of Morocco, there are four imperial cities here, one of them being Marrakech. This is where life thrives and hums in the city streets, where the lifestyle pivots around its exquisite culture, and where the tourists and travelers find treasure in the world-famous Souks.
Marrakech boasts historical sites in the Old Medina and modern tourist attractions in the Gueliz, but it is really the Souks where the old and new collide and create the most memorable tourist experience. The Souks are marketplaces congregated in the area north of the Jemaa el-Fna Square and here, you will find everything from trinkets to trunks. Visiting the marketplace is a blast to your senses but it is all worth it! The vibrant colors of the fabrics, the unparalleled handiwork of leather craftsmen, the tantalizing flavors of local street food, and the lively hustle and bustle of people will leave your heart full!
Why You Should Consider

Until you've seen it for yourself, you simply can't get a sense of just how BIG or busy Marrakech's souks are.

That's where our Marrakech Souks Tours can help!

A Belgium Woman plunged 100ft to her death while posing for photos at the edge of a cliff.
Zoe Snoeks, from Belgium, was on a trip in Luxembourg with her husband of almost a decade when she tragically fell yesterday morning.
The 33-year-old plummeted at least 30 metres after travelling to a cliff near the village of Nadrin to take photos before 9am.
She slipped on the cliff edge and fell into the Ourthe River, according to the public prosecutor's office.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, as well as scuba divers and a medical helicopter, and her body was later found.
Zoe's heartbroken husband Joeri Janssen - who she met in school and married in 2012 - says his wife "vanished" over the edge of the cliff yesterday, the day before they were due to return home.
"We only left on Sunday in our campervan. Since the pandemic, it was our little thing to drive across Europe in our van and take beautiful photos," he said.
"We got up very early to take pictures of the Herou (a 1,400-metre-high rock face that rises almost vertically above the Ourthe River).
"There is almost always mist there. It's great for photos. We arrived before 9am"
He explained that his wife was posing for photos on the edge of the cliff when she told him to "look out" for their dogs, Joy and Ivy, who they always took on their travels as well as a drone for taking aerial images.
"I turned to the dogs and told them to wait," Janssen added.
"When I turned back to Zoe, she was no longer there. She had just vanished. It must have happened in less than five seconds.
"I didn't see or hear anything. No rustling, no screams or shouts. I looked up and saw only dust.
"I called her, even though I knew it was hopeless. The chasm was several tens of metres deep.
"I immediately called the emergency services, but had almost no network. They didn't understand me, even though I speak a little French."
Janssen said he went to the nearby Le Belvedere Hotel to ask for help.
"The rescue team could not find Zoe immediately, they said in French. Then they told me that unfortunately Zoe was dead, also in French, but I immediately understood what they meant," he said.
The grieving husband said taking photos was his wife's "passion".
"I immediately unlocked her phone and saw that she had taken a photo on the cliff edge. Her very last selfie, Zoe is looking straight ahead," he said.
"You can also see the mist and the river where they finally found her body.
"The emergency services said Zoe fell at least 30 metres. I saw this place with my own eyes. I even think it was more like 50 metres (164 feet)."
It is unclear if the local authorities are continuing to investigate the victim's death.

"We're always thinking ahead," Feige said. "Just when people think they can pin us down, we go somewhere else and that's going to happen again after Infinity War in the build-up to the next Avengers film. And we had meetings earlier today about 2024 and 2025."Fiege explained there's still plenty of comic book stories Marvel Studios hasn't adapted yet for the big screen. This even pertains to MCU characters who've already showed up in three or more films.
"There are still things that are key elements to a lot of our characters in their comic incarnations that we haven't even done yet for characters who have had three or four movies," Feige said. "It is an amazing wealth of creative material to pull from."
One of those stories could be the X-Men crossover Secret Wars, as Avengers: Infinity War directors already expressed interest in possibly adapting the comic.
