That's a very clever and ingenious rescue that he did...it looks great! And you are right...if he wants to eat your tomato sauce he's got to help save the tomatoes :)ReplyDeleteReplies
You're darned right, Deb - he's got to help save the garden if he wants to reap the benefits!! He's a smart man....I have no doubt he knows that!Delete
Your veggies look wonderful! So do the repairs made to your garden area!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much!!It's amazing how much produce came out of that tiny garden - just incredible. I have preserved so much of the harvest that will be enjoyed throughout the winter - that, to me, is one of the most wonderful things about growing my own veggies. Preparing a meal in my warm cozy kitchen on a snowy evening using something I grew in my own organic garden over the summer...such an incredible feeling of accomplishment. It's the little things, you know?Delete
You could put Mountain Mama's Garden on a sign on the gate. Now it's fenced. you'll keep critters (and hopefully straying bears) out of there!ReplyDelete
Hi Brenda! Yes, now the fence is much sturdier and will hopefully keep more of the critters out of the garden - I doubt it would stop Mr Bear if he really wants to get in, though!Delete
Wow that looks so much better! I like signs that say "welcome to my garden" and "secret garden"ReplyDeleteReplies
I like Secret Garden but I'm not sure it's quite right yet. I'll think on it for a while and something will come to me before spring!Delete
Wow that looks so much better! I like signs that say "welcome to my garden" and "secret garden"ReplyDelete
It's so nice to have a handy guy around the house. If he's sweet and cute to boot, that's a whole other dimension of nice. :-) It looks wonderful!ReplyDeleteReplies
You are so right, Mimi - and he most definitely is both sweet and super cute!! I'm a lucky woman!Delete
Stop the presses! You grew all those veggies! You could start a farm stand woman! And you have a garlic patch? Now THERE'S the New Yawk *I* talian I've been waiting for ;).ReplyDelete
(Good thing I checked before hitting publish. Auto correct turned Italian to Taliban! Yikes!)
P.S. I kinda like the arbor crooked. There's a story there.Replies
Ha ha there were a ton more veggies than that, Doreen - that was just the final harvest before the first hard frost!! And funny thing....even though I'm always cooking Italian food - I'm Irish, through and through!! 100%!! I just love good Italian food!Delete
Your Mountain side garden is precious and what a great producer it was too, and each year it will get better and better. You have such a green thumb, and gardeners are always the sweetest of folks!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Jemma! I really do love to garden...if only I had a little more time to play in the dirt I'd be the happiest woman! Heading out to do some garden chores right now. Enjoy this glorious day!Delete
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment...I truly love reading your comments and I try to respond to each and every one of your sweet comments right here on my blog page!

Growth Hacking | Red Orbit Blog
Business growth is essential for the long-term survival of any company and crucial for expanding profits. But generally, business growth is a slow and lengthy process, with high customer acquisition costs. Therefore, growth hacking has become an extremely valuable resource for identifying most effective and efficient ways to grow businesses, acquire more customers and lower the costs of customer acquisition.
However, growth hacking is not just a marketing activity – marketers, as well as engineers and product managers, are involved in the process of fast experimentation from marketing channels and sales funnels to product development itself. Growth hacking is rapid and agile, creative and fearless, based on constant testing, innovation, and experimentation. While start-up companies are most known for the use of growth hacking since their existence relies highly on rapid growth and effective customer acquisition, more traditional B2B and B2C companies can also greatly benefit from growth hacking.
Read our blogs to discover the difference between mere optimization and actual growth, how product development and a scalable business model essentially contribute to growth and how to drive sales growth by finding the right marketing channels and fearlessly and rapidly executing your ideas.

Adil Mijit is not the only Uyghur comedian to incorporate a discussion of hip-hop into his performances. In the recent state-sponsored film Shewket's Summer, directed by Pan Yu with assistance from Beijing Film Academy students, Abdukerim Abliz joins the Uyghur hip-hop crew Six City as a reticent folk musician. The film, which is both a "coming-of-age" and "parent-trap" melodrama, highlights the way conflicts resolved at the level of the family have larger implications for society.
Although it's heavy in the propaganda of ethnic harmony (a Han character named Luobin [!] is featured as an aspiring musician in search of "original" tunes, and then as an inspiration to the Uyghur characters), the slick production values and money behind the film present Uyghur folk arts in a strongly positive light. As a wise Native American activist and anthropologist once told me, "If The Man offers you money, you take the money."
Six City and Abdukerim took the money. The fact that the Uyghur-language poetics of Six City shows up at the end, when the conflict between the main character and his wife is resolved, serves to highlight the tangential relationship Uyghur conflict has to the propaganda theme of the movie. A close reading of the film reveals that the heroism of the reluctant Han savior is undermined by the force of Uyghur music. It also shows us a hip-hop infected by the contagion of deeply felt Uyghur self-expression.
When Six City take to the stage at the 77-minute mark, they reinterpret a Uyghur folk song "You Say I Am Black" as an anthem for Uyghur teenagers. Unlike the Tang Dynasty poetry recitation, which Shewket struggles to recite earlier in the film, this song, whose title means "You Say I am Guilty," screams off the tongues of the hundreds of kids gathered for the Six City performance. Unlike the memorization of high Han culture, Uyghur folk songs are shown to be integral to Uyghur education and Uyghur futures. Although Luobin teaches Shewket how to phrase and intonate classic lines from Li Bai, Shewket still does not understanding what he is saying. Even if Li Bai was born in present-day Kyrgyzstan, his Chinese Central Asia was not the Chinese Central Asia that Uyghur kids know and love. The turns of phrase they know refer to their neighborhoods (mehelle), and the lyrics they love are clever rhymes which highlight the deep resources of Uyghur poetics.
You Say I'm Black
From that neighborhood to this neighborhood, I have come to play (to check you out).
I have come to ask whether you are willing.
From my city to your city I have come for you. I have come to ask if you think I am good or bad.
They say I'm black,
They say I'm black,
There is no blackness in me. I don't even have the guilt the size of the husk of a black peppercorn.
They tell me to go, they tell me to return. But it's my will …
Even if they whip me 80 times, my love is mine.
Rap (2:05 above; 4:00 below)
From that neighborhood we have come to this neighborhood (mehelle). All us players have reached a new level (pelle).
Like sophisticated royalty the love between us guys and girls is full of trust and promise.
New beginning, new life, new direction (bulrush), for the life of the future our waist belt shouldn't be loose (bush).
If the princes aren't deceived, if the trust is bound, tomorrow (ette) is beautiful; and you won't say "where (nede) is happiness?"
If you work hard, happiness is still yours. Don't believe in miracles, wake up from your dream and join our line.
Your friends will be your witness (guvah), the affairs of life will no longer be vague (guva).
"Amina I'm sorry"
The song ends with a banner inscribed with an apology to the estranged wife of Abdukerim; although the hero of the story is intended to be the young Han musician in the end rap, the effervescence of Uyghur youth prevails. Hip-hop becomes the beat to which old quarrels are resolved and a community of the future settles into place. Six City is asking young Uyghurs to "join their line" of hard work; they are asking young Uyghurs to stop pining for dreams and instead tighten up their waist belts. A Uyghur future can be made through effort and solidarity.

This page was written in 1999 about the issues surrounding the introduction of Relenza in Britain, and is preserved for reference. For current information on Relenza see the zanamivir (Relenza) page in the drugs section. For further information on influenza treatment see the influenza page in the conditions section.
Zanamivir (Relenza) is a new drug, just released in the UK, for the treatment of flu (influenza). It is said, by its manufacturers Glaxo Wellcome, to significantly reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms. Although it has been licensed to be prescribed by doctors in the UK for this purpose, it has been announced that its use will not immediately be allowed within the National Health Service.
Zanamivir is a powder that is inhaled, twice a day, through a special inhaler. This is used for five days.
The treatment is for use by people over twelve years of age who have Influenza A or Influenza B. It is impossible to be absolutely sure someone has influenza without doing laboratory tests, but these take too long for them to be of any practical value. Therefore, the way in which it is suggested zanamivir is used, is that it be given to people over twelve, who develop "symptoms of 'flu" when influenza is circulating.
There are a number of problems which face doctors, and the British National Health Service:
- Each inhaler costs the NHS £24.
- As mentioned above, it is given to people who might have 'flu. It is likely that many people will seek treatment when they have a bad cold or some other sort of virus or bacterial infection. ie many people will be treated unnecessarily, with something that will not help them.
- Although safety and effectiveness has been shown in trials, we have a significant number of examples of drugs being released to the general public and later being withdrawn. Side effects may only become apparent when millions of people have received the drug.
- Normally the advice is to treat yourself for 'flu. If zanamivir is used, it will mean a massive increase in people visiting their doctors within two days of symptoms starting. In an epidemic, this could overwhelm health services.
- Doctors are likely to want strong evidence that a new drug is more effective than previous treatments, as well as strong evidence of safety, before they will prescribe it to patients.
- The new NHS body responsible for quality and standards (NICE, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence) has been investigating the drug. The British Government have followed advice from NICE and have decided that it will not be available to patients on the NHS.
It may be that this is a useful drug in the treatment of influenza, and the medical world may accept it as the evidence for its use increases. It may even be that the NHS will eventually allow its use. At present, the Minister of Health has called for trials on its use in "at risk groups", before a decision is made on its use in the NHS. It is probable, that if it is, eventually, to be used in the NHS, it will be for a limited number of these "at risk patients" eg the elderly and those with various chronic conditions.
At present, it is likely that the only way to receive this medication in the UK will be by private prescription from a doctor. That is a prescription (which you may have to pay for) which you present to a pharmacy and then you pay the full price for the drug. In such cases it will be up to the individual, having discussed the relative advantages and disadvantages with his or her doctor, to weigh up whether they feel that the possible benefits merit the expense.
Remember, prevention is still an option, and
influenza vaccine
is available each year (from early October in the UK), and can prevent you from catching
influenza. As the old adage goes,
prevention is better than cure.

"I've always made my kids' lunches. I made my kids' baby food," says Lexington's Lisa Farrell. "I didn't do all the mommy things; that was the thing that I did." Now she's packing school lunches for lots of other kids as the founder of Red Apple Lunch, a service that aims to make brown-bagging easier on busy parents with online ordering and home delivery for up to four nights a week. Farrell—who spent a corporate career working for companies like Odwalla—piloted the concept in Cambridge and Arlington last spring. Starting Oct. 1, she's slated to expand to Boston and eight other surrounding towns, delivering lunches made with locally sourced and organic ingredients at Malden's Stock Pot Kitchen. "We're not trying to get too exotic. We're trying to just have really good ingredients and simple, balanced menus," says Farrell, who's using Iggy's bread and Cabot cheddar in her turkey sandwiches. Such mains are served with a choice of fruit and veggie—say, an apple from Apex Orchards and carrots from Drumlin Farm—plus a small treat, like choco-craisin mix or a chocolate chip bite. Even sweeter: Red Apple Lunch has partnered with Malden's Bread of Life to donate a healthy snack to a homeless child for every lunch sold.

Human Rights & Humanitarian Law
Jean Paul Sartre, November 1967
The word �genocide� has not been in existence for very long: it was the jurist Lemkin who coined it between the two world wars. The thing itself is as old as humanity and there has never been a society whose structure has preserved it from committing this crime.
All genocide is a product of history and it always carries the signs of the society from which it springs. The case which we have to judge concerns the largest contemporary capitalist power. It is as such that we must attempt to consider it; in other words, inasmuch as it expresses the economic structure, the political aims and the contradictions of that power.
In particular, we must try to understand whether there is an intention of genocide in the war that the American government is fighting against Vietnam. Article 2 of the Convention of 1948 defines genocide on the basis of intention. The Convention was tacitly referring to very recent history. Hitler had declared a deliberate plan to exterminate the Jews; he did not conceal the fact that he was using genocide as a political tactic. The Jew had to be put to death, wherever he came from, not because he had taken up arms or had joined a resistance movement, but just because he was a Jew.
The American government, on the other hand, has made no such clear declarations. It even averred that it was going to the rescue of its allies, the South Vietnamese, who had been attacked by the Communists from the North. Is it possible for us, in objectively studying the facts, to unveil their hidden intention? And can we, after this examination, say that the armed forces of the USA are killing Vietnamese in Vietnam for the simple reason that they are Vietnamese?
This can only be established after a look at history: the structures of war change at the same time as those of society. From 1860 to this day, military motives and objectives have undergone a profound change and the end result of this metamorphosis is precisely the war of �example� that the USA is waging in Vietnam.
It is no coincidence if jurists and governments have multiplied agreements to �humanize war� on the eve of two of the most horrifying massacres that man has ever known. Vladimir Dedijer has shown very well in his book 'On Military Conventions' that capitalist societies were all simultaneously creating this monster, total war, which expresses their real nature.
This is because:
Therefore the war of bourgeois nations - of which the conflict of 1914 is the first example, but which had been menacing Europe since 1900 - is not the invention of one man or one government, but the simple necessity since the beginning of the century for a totalitarian effort against those who wish to carry on their politics by other means or methods.
In other words, the option is clear; no war or total war. It was total war that our fathers fought. And the governments - who could see it coming but did not have the intelligence or the courage to avoid it - tried vainly to humanize it.
However, in the First World War, intentions of genocide only appeared sporadically. The primary aim - as in the two centuries previously - was to destroy the military strength of a country, even if the more profound aim was to ruin its economy.
But, although it was sometimes difficult to distinguish the civilians from the soldiers, it was rare, except during a few terroristic raids, for the population itself to be a target. Further, the two sides were developed nations, which implied from the outset a certain balance inasmuch as each side had a sufficient deterrent against the threat of extermination: the possibility for retaliation. This explains how, even in the midst of the massacre, a certain caution was observed.
However, since 1830 and throughout the last century, there have been many genocides outside Europe, some of which were the expression of authoritarian political structures, while the others - those which we need to know about to understand the growth of US imperialism and the nature of the war in Vietnam - found their origin in capitalistic democracies.
To export goods and capital, the big powers, and in particular Great Britain and France, built themselves colonial empires. The name by which the French called their conquests - �overseas possessions� - clearly indicates that they could only have acquired them by wars of aggression, seeking out the foe in his own country, in Africa, in Asia and in the underdeveloped lands.
Far from being �total wars�, which would indicate a certain initial reciprocity, such complete superiority of arms only required an Expeditionary Force. This easily conquered any regular armies that existed, but because such barefaced aggression provoked the hatred of the civilian populations, which is the reserve of manpower or soldiers, the colonial troops imposed themselves by the terror of constant massacres.
These massacres had all the characteristics of genocide: they involved destruction of �one part of the group� (ethnic, national, religious) to terrorize the rest and break down the indigenous social structure. When the French had made a bloodbath of Algeria during the last century, they imposed on this tribal society - where every community possessed its own indivisible lands - the Code Civile, which consists of bourgeois jurisdiction with regard to the division of inherited property. Thus, they systematically destroyed the economic structure of the country. The land soon passed from the peasant tribes into the hands of merchants who had come from France.
In fact, colonialization is not just a simple conquest - as was the case in 1870 when Germany annexed Alsace-Lorraine - it is necessarily a cultural genocide. One cannot colonize without systematically destroying the particular character of the natives, at the same time denying them the right of integration with the mother country and of benefiting from its advantages.
Colonialism is, in effect, a system: the colony sells raw materials and foodstuffs at a favourable price to the colonial power which then sells industrial goods back to them at world market prices. This peculiar method of exchange can only be established when the native labour is made to work for starvation wages. It naturally follows that the colonized lose their national personality, their culture, their customs, sometimes even their language, and live in misery like shadows constantly reminded of their own sub-humanity.
Yet their value as virtually free labour protects them to a certain extent from genocide. The Nuremberg Tribunal was fresh in the memory when the French, to make an example, massacred 45,000 Algerians at S�tif. This was such a common occurrence that no one then thought of judging the French government as the Nazis had been judged.
But this deliberate destruction of �one part of the national group� could not be continued without proving to the disadvantage of the settlers. To have done so would have ruined them. It is because they were unable to liquidate the Algerian population, and because they did not integrate the country, that the French lost the war in Algeria.
These comments enable us to understand how the nature of colonial wars was transformed after the Second World War. It is at about this period, in fact, that the people in the colonies, enlightened by such conflict and its impact on the �empires�, and encouraged by Mao Tse-tung�s victory, determined to regain their national independence.
The characteristics of the struggle were clear from the beginning: the settlers were superior in arms, the colonized in numbers. Even in Algeria - a colony of settlers rather than of outside exploitation - the ratio of settlers to natives was 1:9.
During the two world wars, many native peoples had learned the military arts and become well-seasoned soldiers. However, the scarcity and quality of weapons - at least at the beginning - limited the number of fighting units. These conditions dictated the nature of the fighting: terrorism, ambush, harassing the enemy, and the extreme mobility of the combat groups which had to strike unexpectedly and disappear immediately. This was not possible without the participation of the entire population.
Hence the well-known association of the forces of liberation with the masses: the former organizing agrarian reform, political bodies and education; the latter supporting, feeding and hiding the liberation army�s soldiers, and giving them their young to replace their losses.
It is not by mere chance that the �popular� war, with its principles, its strategy, its tactics and its theoreticians, begins at the same time as the industrial powers brought total war to its ultimate stage with the harnessing of nuclear fission. Nor is it by chance that it resulted in the ruin of colonialism. The contradiction that gave victory to the FLN in Algeria was typical of the time; in fact, popular war eradicates classical war (as does the hydrogen bomb).
Torture and genocide were the colonialists� answers to the uprising of the natives. And that answer, as we know, is useless if it is not definitive and total. A determined population, unified by its fierce and politicized partisan army, will not let itself be intimidated, as it was in the heyday of colonialism, by a massacre �as a lesson�. On the contrary, this will only increase its hatred. It is no longer a matter of arousing fear but of physically liquidating a people.
And as this is not possible without at the same time eliminating the colonial economy and the colonial system; the settlers panic, the colonial powers grow tired of sinking manpower and money into a conflict with no solution, the masses at home end up opposing the continuation of barbaric wars and the colonies become independent states.
There do exist, however, cases where the genocidal solution to popular wars is not held back by innate contradictions. Total genocide then reveals itself as the foundation of anti-guerrilla strategy. And, under certain circumstances, it would even present itself as the ultimate objective, either immediately or gradually. This is exactly what has happened in the war in Vietnam.
This is a new aspect of the imperialist process, one usually called neocolonialism because it is defined as aggression against an old colonial country, which has already attained its independence, to subject it once again to colonial rule.
At first, the neo-colonialists make sure - either by the financing of a putsch or by another underhand stroke - that the new rulers will not represent the interest of the masses but that of a small minority of the privileged classes and, thus, that of foreign capital.
In Vietnam this took the form of Diem, imposed, maintained and armed by the US, and of the proclaimed decision to reject the Treaty of Geneva and to constitute the Vietnamese territory south of the 17th parallel as an independent state.
The natural results of this were a police force and an army to hunt those who, frustrated in their victory, immediately and even before any effective resistance movement, declared themselves to be the enemies of the new government. It was the reign of terror that provoked a new uprising in the South and re-ignited the popular war. Did the US ever think that Diem would quash the revolt at its outset? In any event, they did not delay in sending experts, then troops, until they were up to their necks in the conflict.
And gradually we can retrace almost exactly the same war that Ho Chi Minh waged against the French, even though the American government declared at the beginning that they were sending their troops out of generosity and out of duty to an ally.
This is how it appears. But, fundamentally, these two successive conflicts do have a different nature: the United States, unlike the French, do not have any economic interests in Vietnam. A few private American companies have invested there, but they are not so large that they could not, if necessary, be sacrificed without really affecting the American economy or harming the monopolies.
Because the US is not pursuing the war for direct economic reasons, it need not rule out putting an end to it by the ultimate strategy of genocide. This does not prove that America has thought of this solution, only that nothing bars it from such a strategy.
In fact, according to the Americans themselves, the war has two objectives. Recently, Dean Rusk declared: �We are defending ourselves.� It is no longer Diem, the ally in danger, or Ky that they have come to rescue. It is the United States that is in danger in Saigon. This means that their first aim is military: it is to encircle Communist China, the major obstacle to their expansionism. Thus, they will not let south-east Asia escape.
America has put men in power in Thailand, it controls part of Laos and threatens to invade Cambodia. But these conquests will be useless if the US has to face a free Vietnam with thirty-one million united people. That is why the military chiefs often talk of �key positions�.
That is why Dean Rusk says, with unconscious humour, that the armed forces of the United States are fighting in Vietnam �to avoid a Third World War�. Either this phrase makes no sense at all, or it must be understood to mean �to win a Third World War�. In short, the first objective is governed by the necessity of establishing a Pacific Defence Line, which can only be imposed in the general political framework of imperialism.
The second objective is economic. General Westmoreland defined it in these terms in October 1966: �We are making war in Vietnam to show that guerrilla warfare does not pay.� To show whom? The Vietnamese? That would be very surprising. Is it necessary to spend so many human lives and so much money to convince a nation of poor peasants struggling thousands of miles from San Francisco?
And, above all, what need was there to attack, to provoke to battle and then crush it so as to show the uselessness of the fight, when the interests of the large companies are so negligible?
Westmoreland�s phrase - like that of Rusk quoted above - needs to be completed. It is to the others that they want to prove that guerrilla warfare does not pay: all the exploited and oppressed nations who may be tempted to free themselves from the Yankee yoke with a war for freedom, first of all against their own pseudo-governments and the compradores supported by a national army, then against the �Special Forces� of the United States and finally against the GIs.
In other words, it is an example for Latin America and the entire underdeveloped world. To Guevara, who used to say: �We need many Vietnams�, the American government replies: �They will all be crushed as we are crushing this one.�
In other words, this war is primarily a warning for three, and perhaps four, continents. After all, Greece is also a peasant nation and a dictatorship has just been established there. It is best to warn: submission or complete liquidation. So, this exemplary genocide is a warning to all humanity. It is with this warning that six per cent of mankind hope, without too much expense, to control the remaining ninety-four per cent.
At this point in our discussion, three facts emerge:
The declarations of American statesmen are not as frank as those that Hitler made in his day. But honesty is not indispensable; the facts speak for themselves. The speeches that accompany them, ad usum internum, will only be believed by the American people; the rest of the world understands only too well.
Friendly governments keep silent. The others denounce the genocide, but the Americans reply to them that they are showing which side they are really on by their unproven accusations.
In fact, say the American government. we have done nothing but offer the Vietnamese - North and South - this choice: either you stop your aggression or we break you.
There is no longer any need to point out that this proposition is absurd since the aggression is American, so that only the Americans themselves can put an end to it. But this absurdity is not uncalculated: it is clever to formulate a demand which the Vietnamese cannot possibly satisfy.
In this way, America remains the master of the decision to stop the fighting. But, one might read the alternatives as: declare yourselves conquered, or �we will take you back to the Stone Age�. It does not cancel out the second term of the alternative, which is genocide. They have said: genocide, yes, but only conditional genocide. Is this legally valid? Is it even conceivable?
If the argument had any legal meaning, the government of the United States would only just escape the accusation of genocide. But, as Ma�Tre Matarasso has remarked, the law, in distinguishing between intention and motive, does not leave room for this escape clause.
Genocide, especially as it has been carried on for several years, may well have blackmail as a motive. One may declare that one will stop if the victim submits. Those are the motivations and the act does not cease to be genocide by intention. This is particularly so when, as in this case, part of the group has been annihilated to force the rest to submission.
But let us look more closely and see what the terms of the alternative are. In the South, this is the choice: the villages are burnt, the population has to endure massive and deliberately destructive bombardments, the cattle are shot at, the vegetation is ruined by defoliants, what does grow is ruined by toxic elements, machine guns are aimed haphazardly, and everywhere there is killing, rape and pillage. That is genocide in its most rigorous meaning of massive extermination.
What is the other choice? What must the Vietnamese people do to escape this atrocious death? Join the American armed forces or those of Saigon, or let themselves be enclosed in strategic hamlets or in those �new life� compounds, which are two names for concentration camps.
We know about these camps from numerous witnesses. They are surrounded by barbed wire. The most elementary needs are ignored. There is under-nourishment and complete lack of sanitation. The prisoners are packed into tents or primitive huts where they stifle. The social structure is destroyed. Husbands are separated from wives, mothers from their children, family life - so respected by the Vietnamese - no longer exists.
As the homes are broken up, the birth rate diminishes; all possibility of cultural or religious life is abolished. Even work that will improve the standard of living is denied them. These unfortunates are not even slaves (the servile condition of the American Negroes has not stifled their own deep culture); this group is reduced to the state of an appendage, to the worst of vegetative lives.
Anyone who wants to escape can only make contact with other men shattered and ravaged by hate, who can only regroup clandestinely for political resistance. The enemy guesses this, so that the camps are raked over two or three times. Even there, security is never certain and the shattering forces are always at work.
If by any chance a broken family, e.g. some children with an older sister or a young mother, are freed, they go to swell the proletariat in the towns. The elder sister or the young mother, without a breadwinner and with so many mouths to feed, sinks to the utmost degradation in prostitution to the enemy. This is the lot of one third of the population in the South, according to Mr Duncan�s evidence. It is the sort of genocide condemned by the Convention of 1948:
In other words, it is not true that the choice lies between death or submission. Submission, under these circumstances, amounts to genocide. Let us say that there is only a choice between immediate violent death and a slow death after mental and physical de gradation.
Is it any different in the North?
One choice is extermination: not only the daily risk of death but also the systematic destruction of the economic system, from the irrigation ditches to the factories of which �there must not be a brick left upon another brick�; deliberate attacks on the civilian population, and in particular on the countryside; destruction of hospitals, schools, places of worship, consistent effort towards wiping out the achievements of twenty years of Socialism.
Is this simply to terrorize the population? That can only be achieved by the daily extermination of an ever larger number of the group. This terrorism itself, in its psycho-social consequences, is genocide. Who knows if, with the children in particular, this will not result in mental disturbances which will affect them permanently?
The other choice is capitulation. This would mean acceptance from the North Vietnamese that their country should be divided in two and that the American dictatorship, either directly or through their puppets, should be imposed on their compatriots and on the members of their own families from whom the war has separated them. Would this intolerable humiliation put an end to the war?
This is far from certain: the NLF and the DRV, although united, have different strategies and tactics because of their different stances in the war. If the NLF continued the struggle, American bombers would carry on, even if the DRV capitulated.
But should the war come to an end, we know - from official declarations - that the United States would be generously inclined to rebuild the DRV with mountains of dollars. This would mean that they would destroy, with their private investments or conditional loans, all the economic basis of socialism.
That, too, is genocide: the cutting in two of a sovereign state; occupying one half with a reign of terror, effectively ruining the enterprise so dearly paid for by the other half with economic pressures and with calculated investments, to be held in a tight stranglehold. The national unit of �Vietnam� would not be physically eliminated, but it would no longer exist economically, politically or culturally.
In the North, as in the South, there is a choice between two types of destruction: collective death or disintegration. Most significant is the fact that the American government has felt the measure of NLF and DRV resistance: it knows now that only total destruction will be effective. The Front is more powerful than ever; North Vietnam is resolute. For this very reason, the calculated extermination of the Vietnamese people can only be intended to make them capitulate.
The Americans offer them peace knowing that it wilt not be accepted. This spurious alternative hides the real imperialist intention, which is a gradual progress towards the ultimate escalation of total genocide.
The United States government could have achieved this immediately by a Vietnamese Blitzkrieg. But, apart from the fact that this extermination would have involved complicated preparations - for example, the construction and unrestricted use of air bases in Thailand, shortening the bombers� journey by 5,000 kilometres - the essential aim of the �escalation� was and still is, to this day, to prepare bourgeois opinion for genocide.
From this point of view, the Americans have succeeded only too well. The repeated and systematic bombing of the densely populated areas of Haiphong and Hanoi, which two years ago would have given rise to violent protests, is carried on today in a sort of general indifference which is more like gangrene than apathy. The trick has worked: public opinion accepts a constant and imperceptible increase of pressure which is preparing their minds for the final genocide.
Is this genocide possible? No. But only because of the Vietnamese, their courage and the admirable efficiency of their organizations.
As for the US government, nobody can excuse their crime just because the intelligence and heroism of their victims limits its effects.
One can conclude that, in a �popular� war (that product of our times, the answer to imperialist aggression and the claim to sovereignty of a people conscious of its own unity) only two attitudes are possible: either the aggressor gives way, makes peace and recognizes that a whole nation is opposing him; or else, realizing the ineffectiveness of classical strategy, if he can do so without damaging his own interests, he resorts to extermination pure and simple. There is no other choice; but, this choice, at least, is always possible.
While the armed forces of the USA are digging deeper into Vietnam, intensifying the massacres and bombings attempting to subject Laos and intending to invade Cambodia, there is no doubt that the government of the United States, despite all the hypocritical denials, has opted for genocide.
The intention is obvious from the facts. And, as M. Aybar said, it can only be premeditated. It is possible that in the past genocide was committed suddenly, in a flash of passion, in the midst of tribal or feudal conflicts. Anti-guerrilla genocide, however, is a product of our times that necessarily entails organization, bases and, therefore, accomplices (from a distance) and the appropriate budget. It needs to be thought over and planned. Does this mean that those responsible are fully aware of their own intentions? It is difficult to decide: to do so one would have to probe the latent ill-will of puritanical motives.
Maybe some people in the State Department are so used to lying that they still manage to believe that they only want the best for Vietnam. But, after the most recent declarations of their spokesmen, one can presume that there are fewer of these innocents.
�We are defending ourselves: even if the Saigon government asked us to, we would not leave Vietnam�, etc. In any case, we do not have to worry about this psychological hide-and-seek. The truth is to be found on the field, in the racialism of the American troops. Naturally, this racialism - anti-black, anti-Asiatic, anti-Mexican - is a fundamental characteristic which has deep-rooted origins and which existed, latent or apparent, long before the Vietnam war.
The proof lies in the United States government�s refusal to ratify the Geneva Convention on genocide. This does not mean that ever since 1948 the Americans have intended to exterminate whole peoples but that, according to their own declaration, the Convention would have conflicted with the internal legislation of many of the American States.
In other words, the present leaders consider themselves unshackled in Vietnam today thanks to their predecessors who had wanted to respect the anti-Negro racialism of the South. In any case, ever since 1965, the racialism of the Yankee soldiers from Saigon to the 17th parallel has increased.
The young Americans torture without repugnance, shooting at unarmed women for the pleasure of completing a hat-trick: they kick the wounded Vietnamese in the testicles; they cut off the ears of the dead for trophies.
The officers are worst: a general was boasting in front of a Frenchman who testified at the Tribunal of hunting the VC from his helicopter and shooting them down in the rice fields. They were, of course, not NLF fighters, who know how to protect themselves, but peasants working in their rice fields. In these confused American minds the Viet Cong and the Vietnamese tend to become more and more indistinguishable. A common saying is �The only good Vietnamese is a dead one�, or, what comes to the same thing, �Every dead Vietnamese is a Viet Cong.�
The peasants get ready to harvest the rice south of the 17th parallel. American soldiers come and burn their houses and want to transfer them to a strategic hamlet. The peasants protest. What else can they do bare-handed against these Martians? They say �The rice is so good; we would like to stay to eat our rice.� No more, but that is enough to exasperate the young Americans: �It is the Viet Cong who have put this into your heads. It is they who have taught you to resist.�
These soldiers are so muddled that they consider as �subversive� violence the feeble protests that their own violence has provoked. Originally, they were probably disappointed: they came to save Vietnam from Communist aggressors. They soon saw that the Vietnamese actually disliked them. Instead of the attractive role of the liberator they found themselves the occupiers. It was the beginning of self-appraisal: "They do not want us, we have no business here." But their protest goes no further: they become angry and simply tell themselves that a Vietnamese is, by definition, a suspect.
There is not a single Vietnamese who is not really a Communist: the proof is their hatred of the Yankees. Here, in the shadowy and robot-like souls of the soldiers, we find the truth about the war in Vietnam: it matches all of Hitler�s declarations. He killed the Jews because they were Jews.
The armed forces of the United States torture and kill men, women and children in Vietnam because they are Vietnamese. Whatever the lies or nervous hedging of the government, the spirit of genocide is in the soldiers� minds.
This is their way of enduring the genocidal situation in which their government has put them. The witness Peter Martinsen, a young student of twenty-three who had "interrogated" prisoners for six months and could not bear his memories, told us: "I am an average American, I am like any other student, and here I am a war criminal." And he was right to add: "Anyone in my place would have acted as I did."
His only error was to attribute these degrading crimes to the influence of war in general. No: it is not war in the abstract, but war waged by the largest power against a people of poor peasants, and war lived by those who wage it as the only possible relationship between an overdeveloped nation and an underdeveloped one, that is to say genocide expressed through racialism. The only possible relationship, apart from stopping short and leaving.
Total war implies a certain equilibrium of strength, a certain reciprocity. The colonial wars were waged without reciprocity, but colonial interests limited genocide. This present genocide, the latest development of the unequal progress of societies, is total war waged to the end by one side and with not one particle of reciprocity.
The American government is not guilty of having invented modern genocide, nor even of having chosen it from other possible answers to the guerrilla. It is not guilty - for example - of having preferred it on the grounds of strategy or economy. In effect, genocide presents itself as the only possible reaction to the insurrection of a whole people against its oppressors.
The American government is guilty of having preferred a policy of war and aggression aimed at total genocide to a policy of peace, the only other alternative, because it would have implied a necessary reconsideration of the principal objectives imposed by the big imperialist companies by means of pressure groups.
America is guilty of following through and intensifying the war, although each of its leaders daily understands even better, from the reports of the military chiefs, that the only way to win is to rid Vietnam of all the Vietnamese.
It is guilty of being deceitful, evasive, of lying, and lying to itself, embroiling itself every minute a little more, despite the lessons that this unique and unbearable experience has taught, on a path along which there can be no return. It is guilty, by its own admission, of knowingly conducting this war of �example� to make genocide a challenge and a threat to all peoples. When a peasant dies in his rice field, cut down by a machine-gun, we are all hit.
Therefore, the Vietnamese are fighting for all men and the American forces are fighting all of us. Not just in theory or in the abstract. And not only because genocide is a crime universally condemned by the rights of man. But because, little by little, this genocidal blackmail is spreading to all humanity, adding to the blackmail of atomic war. This crime is perpetrated under our eyes every day, making accomplices out of those who do not denounce it. In this context, the imperialist genocide can become more serious. For the group that the Americans are trying to destroy by means of the Vietnamese nation is the whole of humanity.

SAN DIEGO – The injuries from the Boston bombings are traumatic and wide-spread and not unlike what Dr. Jay Doucet encountered during his three tours in Afghanistan with the military.
"These are blast injuries; the type of injuries not commonly seen in civilian practice and as a result they're a little more daunting," said Dr. Doucet, trauma surgeon at UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest. "They look much more horrific."
Dr. Doucet said the likelihood of those patients being in shock and needing surgery is high.
"It puts a big demand on these hospitals," he said.
Dr. Doucet said the San Diego area is especially well-organized and prepared for traumatic events.
"Here at UCSD, we`ve taken over the state trauma cache when it lost its funding so we actually keep an additional 72 hours of additional materials trauma, burn supplies in and above what we would normally have just for this sort of response," said Dr. Doucet.
It's something area hospitals practice. They rehearse responses to earthquakes, bombings and mass casualties. The next local exercise is scheduled for the end of May.
"It's to be ready. We're in a large urban environment," he said. "This sort of event can happen anywhere."

Sand dryer machine, with another name of sand rotary dryer or rotary sand dryer, is a kind of dryer machine used to dry materials like river sand, artificial sand, silica sand, yellow sand, mineral sand, mineral powder, grain slag, blast furnace slag, coal ash and coal cinder, etc. The following content will discuss about the unstable amount of clinker in sand rotary dryer.
If the baiting in raw material silo is unstable, the discharging amount of clinker would be influenced. Unstable baiting may be caused by the insufficient wind pressure, too much water or oil in compressed air or something wrong with the feeding balance. If some recovery dust directly enter into the sand dryer machine, the unstable discharging would become more serious.
The wind speed for systemic use would influence the discharging amount. If the wind speed is faster, the escaping amount of raw material along with the discharging of exhaust gas would become larger. Therefore, the finished clinker amount would become smaller. If the coal amount increases, the ash content in clinker would become higher.

In the elevator used every morning by Pope Francis, an icon of Our Lady of Silence can be found. Made by the religious of Lake Orta, Italy, it seems that this Virgin has particularly inspired the Holy Father in his recent speeches.
The icon, inspired by a Byzantine image, represents the Virgin Mary holding her index finger to her lips. It was painted by the Benedictines from the convent of Mater Ecclesiae, on the island of San Giulio in the middle of Lake Orta, in the north of Italy, noted the Italian newspaper La Stampa on January 3.
The Virgin says no to gossip, explained the Pope in a speech last October 21 to visiting Brazilian seminarians, as this sin, which the pope says is a type of terrorism destroying a person's reputation secretly, like a bomb, puts an end to priestly fraternity.
Silence during Mass
Then in the general audience of December 20, continuing his catechesis on the meaning of the Mass, the pontiff spoke of the importance of silence in the Eucharistic celebration. He urged the faithful to arrive early for Mass, and rather than chatting with a neighbor, to have a "moment of silence," to prepare ourselves for the "encounter with Jesus."
Finally, in his Mass on January 1, 2018, the pope strongly encouraged the congregation to take some time in silence before the Nativity scene, like the Virgin Mary, to allow Jesus "to speak to our heart."

County Longford
A step back in time
One of the gems of Ireland's lush midlands, County Longford displays much of its early history for curious visitors. It boasts an abundance of Early Christian and medieval monasteries (including Abbeylara, Ardagh, Abbeyshrule and Saints Island, the latter nestled on the banks of Lough Ree). But a real historical highlight is the preserved remains of a wooden Iron Age bog road (Europe's largest, no less) at the Corlea Trackway Visitor Centre in Kenagh – an extraordinary find that dates back to 148BC!
Water, water everywhere
Much of the county's western boundary is caressed by Lough Ree – a large lake on the River Shannon – which is popular for fishing and boating (and sparks the occasional rumour of a lake monster!).
Also winding its way towards the Shannon is the Royal Canal. Initially completed in 1817, this waterway stretches from the bustling city of Dublin all the way through the green fields of the midlands to Clondra in County Longford, where it joins up with the River Shannon. Cruise past the tranquil countryside or pedal along the Longford Clondra Greenway for a tranquil glimpse of rural Ireland.
And if that isn't enough to entice you, kayaking enthusiasts can jump on the River Inny in Ballymahon and race down some thrilling white-water rapids.
Festival season
Longford's past and present really come together in its festivals. Head to The Marquee in Drumlish where every August some of Ireland's best-known country music stars come together for a four-day event of live top-tapping music.
If you prefer the idea of engaging in creative writing workshops and poetry competitions then Longford's summertime literary festivals are definitely worth a look! Every June The Goldsmith International Literary Festival takes place to pay homage to the literary genius Oliver Goldsmith, or try the Edgeworth Literary Festival held in Edgeworthstown every May where there is a hive of activity promised to entertain the whole family.
Dancing delight
For an entirely different take on Irish culture, make your way to the Sean Óg Set Dancing Festival, held in Longford town in November. Set dancing is a kind of court dance involving four couples moving in a "set". It might sound orderly, but the athleticism and passion of the spectacle has to be seen to be believed. People in the know come from all over to admire the skills on display. Are you and your friends bold enough to take your place (and your chances) in a set? The competition is fierce. But so is the fun.

There's a common theme in discussions about political movements these days. Whether the talking heads on the radio are discussing the war, global warming, or urban poverty and race relations, there's one observation that always comes to the surface: Young people are not angry. "We can't achieve our goals, you see," say the baby boomers, "because unlike how we responded to the challenges of our day, you remain apathetic."
As a politically engaged "young person" I find this a difficult message to stomach. Don't get me wrong. I can't dispute the voting statistics, and it's a great shame that such a small percentage of people under 30 vote. But is our level of involvement really so surprising? Were the 60s and 70s really such an eden of political activity? Did the anger really lead to a lasting revolution? I'm not trying to downplay the achievements of the last 30 years--lord knows I wouldn't want to live in any earlier time--but can you blame the grandchildren of the 60s for their cynicism?
Here's one way to read the lesson: when the baby boomers had a chance to nominate presidents from their generation we got Clinton and W. Baby boomers in power have spent their time dismantling the liberal institutions set up by their parents and grandparents in favor of lower taxes, and the drug policy they've implemented has been a grand combination of "just say no" and just lock them up. The lesson that we've learned about what anger in the streets achieves in terms of real policy change is a disappointing one.
So before blaming the problems we are inheriting on our own lack of political involvement, please take a moment to recognize that these problems don't get solved because they're hard and because they take more than a few slogans shouted in the streets. And also remember that the best way to get "youth" involved probably isn't to repeat over and over "these kids today..." After a while it starts to sound like "We ran out of steam... You fix it."

Everyone is talking about last night's youtube based presidential debate (a quick rundown of which is here at Salon). The whole thing is irking me largely because, unsurprisingly, the press is using it as yet another excuse to talk about anything other than the real issues and how the candidates differ--as if we needed another way to cover the horse race instead of the policy. At least it's better than talking about haircuts and the public reaction to them, I suppose.
But even the "novel" format being discussed isn't very interesting. Don't get me wrong, if getting people to submit questions via youtube yeilds more interesting, personal, or compelling questions, then I'm all for it, but the questions are the easy part. Holding the candidates accountable for giving true and deep answers that cover policy is the real problem. If I ran the world, here's what I'd want from my debate formats:
Forget the questions, check the answers!
How about having the first half of the debate devoted to questions and the second half to follow up. People online would have a chance to post followup questions, and more importantly, they and a panel of experts would be available to do live fact checking and would challenge assertions that the candidates make. This would reward candidates who have more to a plan than a soundbite and punish candidates who think they can get away with an optimistic over simplification that sounds better than the complicated truth.
Note: To their credit, I just heard the guests on the PRI/KCRW program To The Point make some similar complaints and suggestions. Notably one of the guests suggested that a better way to leverage the internet would be to have instant polls of satisfaction with whether the candidate answered the question or not, so the moderator could choose to follow up with a challenge like "75% of the audience feels you didn't really answer the question, would you like an opportunity to give a fuller answer?" The hope would be that it would be impossible to say no, however I worry that it would just give the candidates who like to steer their answers back to the same nice sounding platitudes a chance to utter more of the same. The polls would also be deeply vulnerable to manipulation by the campaigns. I think my idea would be a bit more robust and would be more likely to draw more out of the candidates. It would, however, make the time crunch even more of a problem when dealing with so many candidates at once.

Morbidology the Podcast – 151: Pamela Butler
One of the darkest fears of parents worldwide is stranger abduction. Thankfully, abductions by strangers are among the rarest crimes committed against children. Tragically, however, they do occur. In October of 1999, one such crime would galvanize the community of Kansas City, Kansas, launching an exhaustive manhunt which spanned multiple states. Sponsors: Vodacast: Thank you to […]
Morbidology the Podcast – 21: Janine Balding
In the grim lifestyles of homeless youths, instant and transitionary friendships are as routine as day and night. In the late 1980s in Sydney, New South Wales, a group of transient youngsters drifted in and out of each other's lives just as easily as they drifted around Sydney's streets and the city's rail system. The displaced youngsters were all well-known to police but in 1988, they became well-known to the world after committing one of the most vicious crimes in Australian history.
Morbidology the Podcast – 18: Lisa Rene
Almost every single day, children pay for the bad choices that adults make. We all feel rage at the casual indifference in which adults drag children along in the wake of their bad decisions, and in Arlington, Texas, in 1994, a teenage girl paid the ultimate price for the stupid actions of her older brothers.
Morbidology the Podcast – 11: Lauren Barry & Nichole Collins
Lying south of Bega in New South Wales, Australia, is the tiny hamlet of Kalaru. In 1997, it only had around 400 residents, living among the green pastures of prime south-coast dairy country. The tranquil and rural lifestyle provides locals with a sense of security, but in 1997, this sense of security was completely shattered when two local teenagers vanished.
The Unsolved Murder of Amber Hagerman
Amber Hagerman, 9, was abducted while playing with her brother in an abandoned grocery store parking lot in Arlington Texas. Four days later, her body was found. Her killer had kept her alive for two days before killing her. Her brutal murder still remains unsolved.

Signs of the First World War are all around us—hiding in plain sight, in fact. One obvious but overlooked place is local cemeteries. For those with an interest in World War I, grave markers are an invaluable source of information about the men and women who served.
After World War I, the repatriation of American dead from Europe resulted in a redesign of military headstones. The result was the so-called "General Type," consisting of an upright headstone in marble or granite. In later years, the U.S. government would also offer two other options: a flat marble or granite marker, and a flat bronze marker.
The amount of information displayed about the veteran depends on when the marker or headstone was issued. In addition to the name of the veteran and the death date, it might also include: a date or year of birth; the wars or conflicts the veteran served in; military rank; branch of service; details about the veteran's division, brigade, regiment, and company; and his or her home state. In addition, the veteran's family members were given the opportunity to request the inclusion of a religious symbol.
Not all the veterans in local cemeteries will have a military headstone. Some who died during or soon after the war were given civilian headstones, often with patriotic flourishes. Others received markers which made no mention of their wartime service, either because their family did not know the U.S. government would provide one, or because they chose not to have one. Many veterans have no headstone at all or have one which is no longer visible.
Today the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides new or replacement military headstones for the graves of qualifying veterans.
Several resources are available for sleuths who want to know more about the World War I veterans in their midst.
All headstone application records between 1925 and 1963 are maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration and are accessible online.
Texas is one of only a few states which still possesses its World War I military service cards and Victory Medal applications. The originals are held at the Texas Military Forces Museum in Austin but are freely available online. And don't forget about local or regional libraries—archived newspapers contain information about the home front, war mobilization, names of service personnel, and how communities bore the brunt of World War I.

According to Ki Young-Ju, the CEO of market research firm CryptoQuant, three key on-chain indicators are currently signaling a Bitcoin (BTC) price uptrend.
Metrics that hint at a bull market are less selling pressure from miners, low exchange inflows and declining exchange reserves.
On July 20 Ki noted:
"On-chain Indicators Status: BUY. Miners are not selling (based on MPI, Miner Outflows. No significant BTC exchange inflows from whales so far. All exchanges' reserves hit the year-low a month ago and keep that low."

Miners are selling less Bitcoin
Data from ByteTree shows miners have sold slightly more than what they mined in the last 12 weeks. In the past three months, miners produced 7,293 BTC and sold 7,365 BTC. A net inventory of -72 BTC is considered low selling pressure from miners, especially over a prolonged period.

There are two possible reasons behind the lack of appetite among miners to sell Bitcoin in recent months.
First, the hash rate of Bitcoin is near its all-time high. It means the mining sector is continuing to aggressively mine BTC despite the halving.
Second, it suggests that the cost of mining is relatively low. When a record high difficulty adjustment occurs, the cost to mine BTC substantially increases. The resilience of the hash rate shows that Bitcoin miners are still quite profitable.
When miners do not sell large amounts of Bitcoin over an extended period, it applies less selling pressure on BTC. Miners are one of the two major external sources of selling pressure in the crypto market along with exchanges.
Low exchange inflows
Low exchange inflows typically suggest that there are fewer investors or traders selling cryptocurrencies in the market. Conversely, exchange outflows indicate that more investors are moving Bitcoin to personal wallets.
In June, Ki explained that a reasonable period to invest in Bitcoin is when whales send funds out of exchanges. That shows whales are predicting a prolonged rally in the near-term. He said:
"Buy BTC when whales send bitcoins out of the exchange. The bull market usually starts four months after the exchange average withdrawal hits year-high."
Since March, inflows into Bitcoin spot exchanges have noticeably dropped. Data from CryptoQuant shows inflows are hovering in between 3,700 BTC and 17,000 BTC. In May, inflows were ranging between 6,800 BTC and 38,000 BTC.

Exchange reserves continue to decline
Meanwhile, Bitcoin exchange reserves have dropped substantially since mid-April. In the last three months, exchange reserves declined from 2.56 million to 2.44 million.
Although a 4% drop in exchange reserves could seem minor, exchange reserves never dropped to the low-2 million levels for well over a year.

A confluence of low selling pressure from miners, declining exchange reserves, and low inflows could indicate the start of an accumulation phase. Both retail investors and miners are selling less BTC than usual and institutional investors are accumulating BTC through Grayscale.

The Foreign Ministry says that close to 90 percent of Argentines stranded overseas by the coronavirus pandemic have been repatriated to date.
According to a report from the Ministry, led by Felipe Solá, between March 17 and April 16, a total of 168,140 Argentines or Argentine residents re-entered the country.
This figure means that as of April 20, 88.7 percent of Argentinians and residents who want to return home have already done so, leaving 11.3 percent remaining.
The majority, 63,485 people came through air terminals, mostly at the Ezeiza and Palomar airports (others open in the first few days are also included in the tally), while 104,655 Argentines or residents entered via land or water.
Of those who returned by air, 59,852 people did so between March 17 and 31. In contrast, between April 1 and 16, only 3,633 people returned via flights.
Of those who returned by river and land, 95,445 entered between March 17 and 31, with 9,210 between April 1 and 17.
The report estimated that half of those who entered before April "had left on short tourist trips and [then] decided to return," adding that "many did so in cars and via long-distance buses from Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia."
The Foreign Ministry said that it was continuing to assist Argentines abroad who wish to return and have not yet managed to do so, guaranteeing "accommodation, food, healthcare and all other basic needs."
Officials also confirmed a number of repatriation flights scheduled for the coming days, including flights from Punta Cana (Aerolineas Argentinas, April 23), Havana (Aerolínea Copa, TBC); three from Guayaquil (Air Force Hercules aircraft, 2 x 24 April, April 26) and another one including stops in Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama (Wingo airline, TBC) and Cancún (LATAM, April 25).
Stories of Argentines stranded overseas have circulated regularly on social networks, with some proving particularly adaptable to their surroundings as they wait to return home.
Tali Akuka and Andrey Madera were stranded in the city of Cuenca, 450 kilometres from Ecuador's capital, in the middle of their vacation.
This Argentine-Israeli couple have been living in a hotel, La Casa del Aguila, since March 11, 2020, where the owner offered them a place to stay in view of the growing number of coronavirus infections in Ecuador's largest cities.
Together with another stranded Argentine, Sergio Torregrosa, they created Encoronados, an online programme that broadcasts live on Facebook six days a week, Monday to Saturday. The show spreads news about local gastronomy ventures that have sprung up in Ecuador during the pandemic.
The idea is simple: to help publicise which restaurants, bakeries and greengrocers are operating by home delivery, helping to support local businesses that are struggling in the wake of the pandemic.
"We also set up a collective financing platform to be able to continue maintaining the project in the face of a lack of government aid," Tali said.
Encoronados, filmed in their hotel, debuted on March 25 and today has more than 2,000 views a show. It is broadcast Monday to Saturday, from 2pm to 3pm, on Facebook Live and is carried out in different facilities of the hotel where they live.

There's nothing I value more and nothing I'd rather spend my money on than experiences.
When I think of my life, those are the things that my memory references.
I've contemplated my bucket list but the thought of doing things before you die gives the impression (if you're on the younger side) that you have a lifetime to check things off the list.
Therein lies the problem, at least for me. Too much time can be a bad thing. I need a deadline!
I also used money and travel as an excuse.
It's definitely challenging to be active in NYC when you're trying to save your pennies, but there are things that won't break the bank.
And it can be challenging (and annoying) to venture into the city from SI, but there are things out there waiting to be experienced...if I'm willing to get out there and make it happen.
There's a long list of things I've been wanting to do for years...learn to ride a motorcycle, visit Maine for some lobster, take a hip-hop performance class, drive cross country.
I recently heard the term leap list, young cousin of the bucket list...it's a compilation of things you want to do earlier in life, preferably before you "settle down."
My new philosophy is there should always be a list. It keeps us excited, inspired, and focused on the things that we're passionate about in this life.
And it forces us to stop and ask questions like, "What do I enjoy doing? What's fun, relaxing, interesting to me?
So I decided it was time to silence the shit-talker in me, and actually put effort into checking more things off my list.
And just like that, the next day a friend called to invite me to a Russian bath house.
Who knew there were bath houses in NYC? Uh, not me.
Wednesday night at a Russian bath house? Had a scandalous ring to it for obvious reasons.
It wasn't the first time I got the invite, but it was the first time I really considered going.
I was about to go into my story about why I didn't want to trek into the city and wasn't prepared for a last minute thing...and then I stopped myself.
It was a perfect opportunity to do something new and different and fun...exactly what I said I wanted.
I wanted to be adventurous but I was a little squeamish at first...
ME: "Is it clean?"
HIM: "Yes, it's clean. It's not a traditional spa but I've taken germaphobes there and they've been fine."
ME: "What exactly is it and what goes on there?
HIM: "Don't worry, I've seen Victoria's Secret supermodels and Russell Simmons there."
ME: "Well, I guess if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me."
So I decided to be spontaneous and jump on the invitation. I had no plans that Wednesday night, so why not?
I got bathingsuit-ready and met my friend at Wall Street Bath and Spa downtown on Fulton Street.
I wasn't sure what to expect. It definitely wasn't your typical spa but it was less intimidated than I expected.
There were different areas for different things.
I changed into my bathingsuit, and found my friend sitting in a room of men in their bathingsuits. They all congregated at tables, sipping everything from beer to tea. Interesting.
There was a healthy mix of man candy among the general population, and I suddenly thought this wasn't such a bad idea.
We got started right away and my friend walked me through each phase of the process.
1st: the sauna. DRY. HOT. REALLY HOT. SWEATY.
2nd: the freezing cold plunge pool. COLD. REALLY F-ING COLD!
3rd: the freezing cold shower. EVEN COLDER!
Rinse & repeat the cycle...3 more times. Crazy!
Russian sauna
cold plunge pool
Then...the turkish sauna: MORE HEAT. MORE SWEAT. BUCKETS OF ICE WATER DUMPED OVER YOUR HEAD. RUBBING COFFEE GRINDS WITH HONEY & LEMON ALL OVER OUR SKIN.
Rinse & repeat:
Turkish sauna
(umm, my bucket of cold water experience wasn't nearly as seductive)
THIS TIME, AN IMPROMPTU MASSAGE ON THE SAUNA TABLE FROM A FRIEND OF MY FRIEND, USING SOME WEIRD OIL-FILLED LEAF BRUSH THING AND EUCALYPTUS SCRUB. (All I can say is it didn't seem that weird at the time and I have no regrets.)
The idea is to raise and lower your heart rate and ultimately equalize it. At least that's what my friend said.
He also said the experience would be better than sex. Not sure what kind of sex he's having but I wouldn't go that far.
I would say it was an amazing experience that was strangely exhilarating and relaxing at the same time.
After, we chilled out and drank tea at the tables.
Things I saw but didn't try: a huge pool, jacuzzi, restaurant and tanning salon. There was also a lounge area that looked like the VIP section of a trendy club.
A few similar places exist in the city but not sure what their stories are.
This one charges $32 for all day access. There are also packages and yearly memberships.
My friend had a pass for me so my entry was complimentary...score!
Not sure if or when I'll do it again, but I'm glad I can say I actually did it.

Cables, cables, and more cables! That's what today's homeowners must deal with on a daily basis. Every family member generally has a computer or laptop, several electronic devices, console games, televisions, stereos, and more. All of those cables have to go somewhere, and many homeowners choose to simply leave them out in plain sight. We have a much neater and more organized solution!
Structured Wiring Hides the Mess
