There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it. His parents called him Eustace Clarence and his masters called him Scrubb. I can't tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none. He didn't call his Father and Mother "Father" and "Mother", but Harold and Alberta. They were very up-to-date and advanced people. They were vegetarians, non-smokers and teetotallers and wore a special kind of underclothes. In their house there was very little furniture and very few clothes on beds and the windows were always open.'
Written fifty years ago, the opening words of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, one of C S Lewis' Narnian books, are both anachronistic and contemporary. We don't say masters now, but teachers, or father and mother, but mum and dad. This is the boarding-school jargon of the 1950s. But the dry humour in those words remains contemporary. And it's not lost on children. 1950s children may have recognised Eustace Clarence Scrubb immediately as the worst kind of rotter. Today's children will recognise him immediately as the very same thing, but they'll have another word for him altogether. One day, if only for a second, I'd like to have that sense of comic timing which can turn out a tiny phrase after a comma such as and he almost deserved it.
Eustace, together with his cousins Edmund and Lucy, both veterans of the first two Narnian adventures, are pulled through a magic painting to that enchanted world. They are aboard The Dawn Treader, Narnia's royal ship, on a voyage of discovery. Years ago, the pretender Miraz had banished seven lords loyal to Narnia's rightful ruler, King Caspian. They were to explore the unknown seas beyond the Lone Islands. They were never heard from again. And now Caspian, Edmund and Lucy's old friend, has set out in search of those missing lords. Eustace, of course, has a terrible time. Nothing has prepared this spoiled, self-centred, precious child for adventure, or gallantry, or self-sacrifice, or loyalty, or love for one's friends. He has much to learn. And learn he must. Finding out what has been the fate of each of the lords is not easy. The three children, Caspian and the ship's crew, and Reepicheep the Talking Mouse must overcome obstacles, fight the good fight, and above all, be true to themselves. And all the time they hope to see Aslan the lion, lord of Narnia.
Oh, there are some wonderful scenes in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, you know. Some are sad. Some are funny. Some are exciting. Some catch hold of your heartstrings and tug at them until you think they'll never let go. There are the invisible Dufflepuds who just never stop talking - I wish the magician would make them inaudible instead of invisible. There is a terrifying experience for Eustace on Dragon Island where, happily, he learns finally to come to terms with the truth about himself. There is the wonderful, peaceful home of Ramandu, the retired star. But above all, there is Reepicheep the mouse: Reepicheep the courageous; Reepicheep the brutally honest; Reepicheep the gallant; Reepicheep the good friend; Reepicheep the seeker of danger and adventure and self-knowledge. Reepicheep, for me, is the greatest character ever written into children's literature. Thinking of the moment at which this little talking mouse realises his life's ambition, to reach the Utter East, brings tears to my eyes even as I type.
Could you read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader without having read any of the other Narnian books? Oh yes, I think so. It's a wonderful fantasy adventure story for children with some interesting messages on getting to know the truth about ourselves and being able to make changes where they are needed. Redemption here, more so perhaps than in all the other Narnian books, is the key. Christian theology and allegory bubble close to the surface but - one clumsy, silly scene with a silly lamb frying silly fish aside - they aren't overdone, or heavy, or preachy in any kind of denominational way. It could certainly be read by itself. It would be an awful shame to do that, though, I think. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is, these days, described as the fifth of the Narnian books, but I feel this does the series a disservice. Read it third; its place in the order of writing, after Prince Caspian and before The Silver Chair. So much of the Narnian mystery and magic is explained in The Magician's Nephew, chronologically first, but fifth written, I fear that sense of childhood wonder, so special to C S Lewis' work, is in danger of being lost if one follows the recommended reading list.
On a practical level, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, together of course, with rest of the series, is an excellent buy for any parent. The quality of Lewis' restrained writing is such that it can be read aloud to four and five-year-olds with ease and welcome rhythm. Its ideas and themes are easily accessible to independent readers of seven or eight. Older children, right up to their teenage years, will be able to take even more from it. I'm on my fifth copy, I think. But the first one I owned, falling to pieces as it is, is in a box underneath my bed. Half the pages are crinkled, as pages tend to go when one cries all over them and the paper dries. I shall never throw it away.
If they enjoy Narnia, they'll also enjoy the real world magic in anything written by David Almond.

I am so glad you did one of them, and I am even gladder than you did this particular one! It used to be my most favourite Narnia book, and I still think it fulfills the fantasy archetype best. I could never stand Reepicheep, but then I never read Narnia books as a proper child; and even for me who can't stand him, his final swim has a throat-tightening qualities.
Now, Silver Chair is my favourite. I never before noticed how dark it is until I heard read aloud the scene when the Green Witch tries to brainwash the children. Chilling stuff.
Jill replied:
Heehee. Ah man, they don't come any better, do they? I remember my mother reading Silver Chair aloud to me and thinking 'I've got to learn to read well enough to be able to read this over and over again to myself'.

Confident Seniors Discuss Hopes for Powderpuff
May 2, 2019
"I like Powderpuff. I really want to win, too. I have a good feeling about this year's team." A man with little words, Senior Coach Ben Whitman, has high expectations for his team of girls this year.
Powderpuff has been a long standing tradition for many LCA girls. All girls, from freshmen to seniors, are invited to participate. The tradition entails three football games where the seniors begin by playing the freshmen. The juniors then play the sophomores, and the winners play each other for the championship. Football players from all grade levels volunteer to coach and coordinate games.
This year the Senior team consists of Reagan Newman, Katherine Childers, Erin Oliver, Julia Lawson, Gracie Elliott, Savannah Fields, Gretchen Casper, Meela Mingua, Haidyn Chudy, Rosemary Cruse, and Cate Crosbie. They are coached by Senior Ben Whitman. The team feels pretty confident in their abilities to pull off a dub this year.
In fact, the seniors were seen practicing this past Monday on the soccer fields with none other than the Boy's Junior High football team. Their coach helped Quarterback Erin Oliver perfect her throwing form as well as coordinate a scrimmage between the girl's and the Junior High boys. Remarkably, the girls ended up beating the boys, clearly demonstrating their skill of the game.
Senior Erin Oliver states that she is "really looking forward to the upcoming game. Practices have been fun and we have some tricks up our sleeves. We are coming for you."
Although the Senior's are very hopeful for the looming game on May 17th, but no bets are made and anything can happen. Will it finally be the Seniors time to shine or will they bask in the glory of the underclassmen again?
Julia Lawson is a senior and loves Southland. Julia serves as a greeter for Southland Christian. She also is a soprano in Chamber Choir. She works at the...

Hamari Beti Raaj Karegi survives the axe..
Sahara One's Hamari Beti Raaj Karegi will now get a new time slot..
But the latest we hear is that the channel has decided to give Hamari Beti Raaj Karegi a longer run as it is doing decently well. Instead, the show will now be shifted to the 10 pm slot which is made vacant with the ending of Ganga Kii Dheej.
We contacted protagonist Ravi Bhatia and he says, "I have no idea about the show going off air and if that was the case, we would have been informed about it. I guess we might get shifted to some other slot".
We also contacted Shashank Sharma but he too was clueless about the development.
We tried contacting Sanjay- Producer of Hamari Beti Raaj Karegi, but could not get through to him.
Let's see whether Hamari Beti... can reap rewards in the new time slot..

A nice story about Mrs Palin's buddies in florida
and a nice story sliding under the radar that, if it continues, will see all american troops OUT of Iraq by Jan 1

Obama's Speech
Well, it wasn't bad. If I weren't approaching his candidacy with an air of cynicism it might have been inspiring... but from my vantage a great deal of it was crap i've heard from him before, crap that i dont believe he'll deliver on, and silly platitudes (like equal pay for equal work) that have been around longer than i've been voting. Al Gore gave a better speech - and it wasn't until the end when he started to hit the echo of MLK that he REALLY hit his stride (but somehow his cadence lost the crowd - it took them 30 seconds to rev up to him and by then he was done).
A week of democrats in denver... a week of the Clintons sitting regally in their box looking down disdainfully on all the little people who'd come not to praise them but to annoint another (i watched camera footage of them exclusively during Biden's speech)...
You see... we have come to a time when the strongest nation on earth – a nation of unbelievable military might, of never before achieved economic prosperity, of freedom and privilege so pronounced the very name of the nation was synonymous… we have come to a time when that nation lives in fear from a tiny minority of religious zealots who live in caves and third world hardscrabble mountain villages. It could have been different. If George Bush had stood upon the wreckage, had come on the television after the felling of the two towers and said 'we are a strong nation – strong enough that we will not live in fear of what some bigoted and backwards barbarian might thrust upon us… we are, by and large, a Christian nation and today we mourn not just those 5000 dead in the attack, but that there are those in this world who would commit such a horrible act against people working in an office building, with families and hopes and dreams, people of every race and every faith… we mourn the deaths of everyone in that tragic act - even of the terrorists as well. We will seek justice. We will find those that perpetrated this act – and we may well serve justice upon them – but in my faith as a Christian man I know that vengeance is best left to the creator.' IF he had been strong – strong enough to TAKE it and not lash out – not see it as an opportunity to do evil things under the cover of fear – then he would have been the greatest president we'd ever elected.
But he wasn't.
He was a self-centered weakling… the wimpy son of a wimp… snippy and short tempered his actions did more harm to this country than any thousand kamikaze 767s could have hoped to accomplish. Since that day I've hoped we'd find someone who'd stand up and take on the fearmongers... someone who'd say 'America - sleep soundly at night - there are no goblins under your beds' - because, we, as a nation, seem incapable of discerning this fact for ourselves. But Wednesday night Joe Biden went off on how there were terrorists lurking in Afghanistan - rebuilding - aiming to strike at us... and 3 months ago Barack Obama stood tall and voted for cloture on a filibuster of a bill indemnifying those who illegally monitor and listen in on our correspondences. These are not the droids i am looking for...
John McCain is worse - by far. I'll not argue that in the least... but I am sick and fucking tired of voting for 'less bad' candidates. A Democratic sweep of the halls of government will not result in a panacea of good government. More likely - it would result in the same corporatist masters simply changing the 'to' field in their check disbursements. So no, I'm not buying Obama's 'I'm different' bullshit. And though unlike Mrs Clinton I will not be happier with a McCain victory in November, I do not go into this election season with hope. Instead, I'll be participating in my own distraction while the rest of you busy yourselves with choosing which asshole will captain the ship of state on it's now inevitable decline down the toilet.
Here on the anniversary of MLKs 'I have a dream' speech we have a historic moment - a black man giving a speech accepting the nomination of his party at a major convention...
It's good to see CBS has it's priorities in order - pre-season football is, afterall, much more important in the long run.
A place where the democrats can show how they're different.
Ask that code-pink protester, or the ABC News reporter who went to jail for taking pictures, or Joe Biden and his 'we will hold Russia accountable for Georgia and we need to send MOAR troops to Afghanistan' (excuse me while i use the bathroom to retch - i need to hurry before someone spews 'god bless america' again and i'm not allowed.)

One giant absurd public circus has ended in Beijing - with a 2 hour almost comically over the top extravaganza... only to be replaced by another in Denver.
Yes - that's right - get out your blockbuster card and turn off the news because all you're going to hear the next 4 days is platitudes and lies (dont get me wrong, Sept 1-4 will be worse). What makes this absurd is 'who the hell is undecided at this point' - i mean really. If you're going to vote for Obama, does the fact that Joe Biden wants to spend a billion dollars going after P2P filesharing networks really change your mind? I mean - Obama pretty much has to pull a Sheriff Bart and McCain has to be caught banging Paris Hilton to change any minds on this one at this point.
I'm not saying that a week's delay of America's Biggest Loser is really a travesty... I'm just saying that listening to these horrible people spout off for hours on how much better they are than that other group of horrible people is something I can do without.
I was pretty disappointed by the DNC opening ceremony... no torch lighting, the only acrobatics coming from the DNC folks attending the AT&T party, and there's no tower of hairy granola chicks in the middle of the convention center floor singing kumbayah. I know the Chinese really set the bar pretty high for these circuses - but not to try? sad...

So around the time Bill Clinton took office, a navy veteran decided that he needed some supplies. He appropriated some material from work - put it into a padlocked suitcase - where it sat for 15 years waiting for, well, something... some trigger that only he was aware of.
The rusted, padlocked suitcase sat alongside a porcelain coffee service set, decorative enamel-finished eggs and a vintage gas-powered model of the 1965 Chaparral II race car prototype. Auctioneers got the suitcase open just before the sale on Saturday and found three blocks of military-grade C-4 plastic explosive, two tubes of a similar plastic explosive, a blasting cap and some dynamite.
Now... he was ex-navy, so i'm sure law enforcement will just gloss over it... point out that the man is dead so what's the point of worrying about it...
Which leaves me with just one question... how would we be reacting right now if his name had been Mohammed... and should we start questioning all ex-navy people to find out if they also have suitcases of explosives under their beds (in any of their 8 houses).
Remember England... if you outlaw Bat'leths then only the Klingons will have them. Be sure to get yours now before it's too late.

I gotta say... Obama coulda done a lot worse than this one. Biden isn't a 'regional target' pick - which might hurt depending on what McCain does - but there's a gravitas to this one that doesn't suck. Of course, that wasn't the big news yesterday.
In other news how about that story out of the bronze medal match in taekwondo.
Gotta say - it almost makes you wanna be a ref...

So CNN ran a huge front page story on the Chinese Gymnasts and whether they're underage. This is bullshit. To call a spade a spade - it's racism - nothing more. So there's some website somewhere with different information on it - well - this is a website - and according to it the IRS owes me $100,000,000 by next thursday. I'll take it in Euros please, since the dollar really is a hunk of shit.
Do you see the US out there complaining about the Japanese girls who're just as small? or the Koreans? The reality is that asian girls are SMALL compared to american girls - and not just in the frame sense - i only remember seeing ONE overweight person in china while i was there. The IOC went through a thorough vetting process before the games... and in the end Americans are just being very very very poor losers in this whole scenario. If I were the parent of one of these kids i'd be irate.
Look at how the freepers reacted to that son of an illegal immigrant who won gold in wrestling(he was small too btw) - it was very 'you dont belong here' and 'why isnt he waving a mexican flag instead'. It wasn't about the accomplishment of an individual to be the best in the world at his sport, a person who came to and loved his adopted homeland - no - it was 'he's not white - he should go home'
The reality, as CNN knows - which is why they run a story like this on the front page and why NBC keeps harping on it - is that there are a LOT of white Americans who are racists. Not a few. A LOT. A WHOLE LOT. A lot more than anyone wants you to believe. They may hide it when given cover - but the truth is still there under the surface. This - more than anything else - is why Obama is going to lose. If he isnt up by 10 or 15 pts on election day then it's over.

My favorite olympic sport was on last night...
it's been on most nights this week and i've taken to falling asleep with it running (i dont think i know any race results at all to be honest). The Olympic sailing competition out of NBC's online environment is just spectacular. No announcers... no one telling you about America's Sweetheart or questioning the age of the people on the boats or showing highlights of announcers doing Dick Vitale impersonations (because, afterall, the newscasters have to be the news in this day and age)
So what happens when there's no wind? Well, they show flags... and the boardwalk... and the spectators... So with that in mind, I give you Olympic Sailing - day 6 highlights. Sorry i missed the race again...

I give the president shit all the time - and his antics at the olympics are no different. John Stewart said it well monday - saying he's 'adorable, he shouldn't be president, he should be our mascot' - and that pretty much sums it up. The republicans chose a guy in a furry costume to be their leader - and the rest of the nation followed along.
That said - this is way up the list when it comes to pictures of the president - not for the president himself... he's just being the same loveable goofball moron he's always been... but look at the 2 women in his life... to his right, Laura with the 'there he goes telling that fishing story again - that's why i married him'... to his left Barbara with the 'there he goes telling that fishing story again - god help me'

One for Simon...
Timothy Shriver, chairman of the Special Olympics, admits to NPR that he actually didn't see "Tropic Thunder." But he's calling for a boycott of the Ben Stiller film — the one he hasn't seen — because its use of the word "retard" causes "suffering, injustice and exclusion."
Timothy Shriver - you're a retard.
It's a movie.
Get over it.

The Olympics has begun.
If you missed that opening ceremony - well - you're a tard. Freaking spectacular. The NBC coverage blew goats - with all the idiot explaination crap, but then, Americans are morons and they need a pablumified version.
It's midnight - and i've got the NBC Olympics site up in Firefox - but no matter what i do the feed dies within a minute and fails to rebuffer... i dont know what kind of morons they hire at NBC to set these things up (oh yeah... they're americans...) but someone should be fired. It's absolute shit. How is it that a company can blow 3.5 billion dollars securing the rights to this event - push the online aspect hard in their tv coverage - fill the page up with GE ads that ironically talk up GE's 'cool technology' - and then fail so miserably in the execution. I'd click to reengage the feed - but every 4 or 5 times i do that the thing insists on showing me yet another crappy ad telling me how great GE is (it's day one and it's already annoying).
Funny - the ad never fails to buffer... I hope they fix this - because honestly it's the best way to watch the olympics. No announcers... no commentary... no human interest stories... just sailboats or fencers or cyclists racing through beijing with the soft whupping blades of the chase copter. The visionaries at NBC get it - but guys, when you're buying streaming video software you dont deploy a BETA software from Microsoft for your Olympics... this silverlight shit stinks worse than a Baghdad morgue in August. And I ask - when did microsoft ship a product that worked as a RELEASE CANDIDATE, much less a freaking beta. You want to stream video - call the porn industry. QED.
EDIT - use IE instead of Firefox... in IE you have the option to use flash video instead and it works. That's for those of us who're at home watching... for those in Beijing for the events I'm sure they're all enjoying themselves immensely.
"Of course. I mean, for a lot of Americans -- including the family that I grew up with, I mean, it's fundamental to how you judge people and human character -- whether you keep your word, whether you keep what is your ultimate word, which is that you love your spouse, and you'll stay with them. ... I think the most important qualities in a president in today's world are trustworthiness -- sincerity, honesty, strength of leadership. And -- and certainly that goes to a part of that."
-- Edwards to CBS News anchor Katie Couric's question on infidelity last fall
"It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself."
-- Edwards today
I can't beat you up? Ok.. let's see... You cheated on your cancer-ridden wife with a woman who, once she started taking the high hard one from you, was given $100,000 in a four-month span to direct the production of four Web videos showing you in a public speech talking about morality. You are everything that is wrong with politics in America - and just because I could tell you were a slick shitbag years ago when your only job in the 2004 campaign was to make sure Wes Clark lost (for which you were rewarded - but apparently you needed moar blowjobs than John Kerry was willing to give you). When I saw the interview after it was announced your wife's cancer had returned - and the both of you sat there and said you would continue your campaign 'because it's what she wants me to do' (sidenote: both of you were aware of the infidelity at that point) - i was appalled by the unabashedly egocentric decision making process... have we not had enough 'it's all about me' in the whitehouse these last 16 years? You, John, didn't think so... so you ran - and you couldn't win - but you stayed in... because it made you feel more special. Well the next time you want to feel special instead of cheating on your tumor-laden wife, how about you just beat the shit out of some autistic kids. People like you are why people like me dont vote. Die in a fire. I swear - maybe all men who want to take the role of president should be neutered - like post-yam Pak Protectors...
Spectacular opening ceremony by the Chinese at the Olympics...
NBC has the coverage locked up and, no doubt, filled with human interest stories about hot young American gymnasts (not that I have a problem with that, but it brings up painful memories of weeks of my life listening to a friend and his obsession with Mary Lou Retton's feet). So if you want olympic coverage online try JustinTV.

Things I Learnt on my Summer Vacation (in no particular order)
or how I managed to stop worrying and love the bomb
1) just because a website is called foreverakid doesnt make it safe for work
2) there ought to be limits to freedom - particularly involving sexual gratification derived from diapers (related to #1 in case you didnt know)
3) according to some, southern california has a lot of whores
4) movie studios have a lot of morons in positions of authority
5) movie studios are saved by the very bright people that lurk in the shadows of authority
6) Maid Cafes should not have surly maids - it defeats the purpose
7) When the kind voice in the GPS tells you you'll make it across LA on a Friday afternoon in 45 minutes, it's lying to you
8) I can cook better than anything i ate in any restaurant (though i doubt i'd do better than Nadine's delivery of Alaskan King Crab)
9) 'Lost? Try Hare Krisha' is an effective humor vehicle in a musical
10) Too many people from too many walks of life are afraid of what's coming re the economy... for good reason
ps - annoying people with the ultimate Sanrio quest is unbelievably fun
i dont get out on holiday all that often - so getting out to Laguna was a nice change of pace. Saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in too long - met some others who seem like the sort worth blowing lots of time getting to know better.
Typical vacation though... you come back tired....
(@ a great breakfast at Cliff's Edge in Silverlake via Jake's phone - can you tell who slept on a couch?)

This article demonstrates the significance of a transnational social field connecting Germany and Turkey for explaining German-Turkish return migrants' experiences and for shedding light on broader concerns in Turkey regarding the country's belonging in Europe. During two years of ethnographic research with German-Turkish return migrants, I found that return migrants often experience significant conflicts with family members and neighbors. Specifically, when return migrants signal transnational belonging, they spur debates in their communities about the potentially positive influences of "German" discipline and self-education and the perceived negative influences of "German" individualism and a feared loss of "Turkish" morality and religiosity.
Negotiating Modernity and Europeanness in the Germany-Turkey Transnational Social Field
In conversation with recent work on transnational social fields, this article explores how Germany and Turkey are linked through a "set of multiple, interlocking, networks of social relationships" . The article examines how the social field affects migrants returning from Germany to Turkey. Specifically, it describes how the transnational social field emerges through a concrete set of economic, political and cultural exchanges. It also illustrates that the social field is a space of imaginations of Germany and Turkey, reflecting and producing citizens' uncertainties about the "Europeanness". For German-Turkish return migrants, the transnational social field exacerbates conflicts with non-migrants and fosters anxieties about migrants' "Germanization" and loss of "Turkishness." Ultimately, this research shows that Turkish citizens remain deeply concerned about the meaning of modernity, Muslim citizenship in Germany, and Turkey's current and future position in Europe.

(c) 2018, The Washington Post, Jul 27, 2018 - ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Imran Khan, onetime international cricket star and tabloid playboy who reinvented himself as a crusading anti-establishment politician, declared victory Thursday for his party in parliamentary elections, even as his rivals charged that the polls had been rigged and the official results remained unclear.
In a statesmanlike address, Khan set out a grand vision for a new government that would end corruption in high places, protect the weak and ensure equal rights for all. But the taint of a questionable victory, and the contentious aftermath of an election that toppled the ruling party, seemed more likely to usher in a period of political turmoil than a smooth transition. Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state and a longtime security ally of the United States, has a history of the military pushing out or overthrowing elected leaders. Until 2008, no elected head of state had finished a full term. Wednesday's election has been seen as a critical test of the democratic institutions in a country with a strong, influential military.
On election day, opponents from several major parties alleged fraud at the polls.
In his speech Thursday, Khan tried to placate the election critics, offering to help probe any wrongdoing at the polls.
Khan also briefly described his foreign policy plans, saying he wanted to have "mutually beneficial" relations with the United States. In the past, he has strongly condemned the U.S. deployment of drones to kill suspected Taliban extremists in the border areas of Pakistan.
Strident calls were repeatedly made from many quarters for the 19th Amendment

The first church in Ścinawa probably was built at the beginning of the 13th century. Its first parish priest Simon was mentioned in sources in 1209. Initially, this building had the call of Saint John the Baptist. In the middle of the fifteenth century, a thorough rebuilding of the temple was made. The works lasted until about 1491, because such date is on the boss of the chancel vault, which was added to the older nave. The reconstruction was related with receiving of the church by the Order of Holy Spirit from prince Konrad the White, as their monastery and hospital in the suburbs of Głogów were destroyed by the Hussites. The order had a church until the Reformation, that is until 1522. From 1534 to 1945, it was an Evangelical temple. After the Thirty Years' War, as a result of which the tower and the vault over the nave were destroyed, in the years 1668-1669 renovation and reconstruction were carried out. In the years 1869-1872, the church was thoroughly renovated again, and subsequent repairs were carried out after the damages of World War II.
The church was located in the south-western part of the town, by the city walls. It was erected as a building orientated towards the sides of the world, brick. It consists of a three naves on a rectangular plan in the form of a hall structure. To the east a narrower chancel was added with a three-side ending. On the west there is a six-storey, four-sided tower embedded in the façade. Both the tower and the chancel should be associated with the 15th-century reconstruction, the nave is the remnant of the older building.

Can Health Insurance Be Retroactive
Can health insurance be retroactive? The healthcare system of Canada is very widely discussed in the country. However, most people are still not completely sure how it works. A publicly funded healthcare system is used in Canada to provide healthcare throughout the entire country. This system, commonly known as Medicare, is generally free and offers services which are provided primarily by public entities.
How does healthcare in Canada work?
People are generally concerned about a number of things when it comes to healthcare. The most common questions about public healthcare usually are 'does the government store my information?' and 'can health insurance be retroactive?' To answer those questions, we must first understand how the public healthcare system in Canada works.
The government is not actively involved in the health system which means that confidential information between you and your physician is not collected by the government. The Provincial Ministry of Health issues a health card to anyone who enrolls in the program. Generally, people do not consider additional plans because not only are most of the basics free through Canada's healthcare system, but the services provided to all people are also the same.
One problem which people face is the coverage of prescription medicine is not included in the healthcare system of Canada. Canadians are, nonetheless, generally satisfied with the healthcare system, especially since the system is entirely public. Even though the of provinces of Canada are free to opt out of the healthcare system, none of them have made this decision.
Can health insurance be retroactive?
Most people in Canada do not understand why private health insurance would be necessary when the public healthcare system already offers so much. The level of autonomy which is granted through private health insurance is enough to make the majority of people reconsider.
Medical and health insurance providers in Canada allow people to make their own policies which will define the coverage of their health insurance. The best part about health insurance offered by providers like Access Health Insurance is that individual and personalized plans can be created. This means that even those people who do not have the privilege of their health insurance being covered by an employer can choose a health insurance plan which best suits their needs.
Additionally, health insurance can cover a wider range of possibilities than the public healthcare system will allow. People who are always asking 'can health insurance be retroactive?' can rest assured that some health insurance providers in Canada do offer a form of retroactive insurance. This means that with health insurance offered by certain providers, you can get coverage even for bills which were paid before you signed up for the insurance.
Are you convinced? Give Access Health Insurance a call at 506-442-9029 and let us take care of your health insurance process.

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the two biggest providers of financing for U.S. home loans, fell to the lowest levels in 17 years in New York trading after a former Federal Reserve president said the companies may need a government rescue.
Fannie Mae tumbled as much as 24 percent and Freddie Mac slumped as much as 34 percent in New York Stock Exchange composite trading after UBS AG analysts said in a report today that Freddie Mac's decline creates ``challenges'' for the company's plan to raise $5.5 billion.
Chances are increasing that the U.S. will bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because they don't have enough capital to weather the worst housing slump since the Great Depression, former St. Louis Federal Reserve President William Poole said in an interview. Freddie Mac owed $5.2 billion more than its assets were worth in the first quarter, making it insolvent under fair value accounting rules. The fair value of Fannie Mae assets fell 66 percent to $12.2 billion, data provided by the Washington- based company show, and may be negative next quarter, Poole said.

Yep, Shanghai is definitely a very crowded city!
After checking in to my hotel, the very swanky Dorsett, I headed down to catch the views at the Bund. This is a waterfront area along Zhongshan Road on the western bank of the Huangpu Rivier. It faces the scenic financial Pudong district on the eastern side. The Bund is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Shanghai. I exited the metro at East Nanjing Road as per the hotel clerks instructions and landed up on an area called The Pedestrian Walkway. This is an area of high end stores and eating spots which, even though it was a Thursday evening, was jammed solid with people. I had no idea which direction to walk so I hopped on a little tourist train thing hoping that it might take me to the Bund. Alas, it did not but a wonderful Korean woman who was visiting Shanghai for business got in beside me. Claire was a wealth of information and as we rode along, ducking the flyers that were tossed in the window every few seconds and narrowly escaping having an eye poked out, she gave me a great introduction to the city. Clare gave me her map but I guess she thought I didn't really look capable of actually following it since she walked me down to the river and along the embankment. She was really a very helpful and interesting person. She offered to take me for dinner but I was feeling rather tired so I declined the offer and decided to just find something on my way back up Pedestrian Street.
Walking up this street, or should I say trying to weave my way through the multitudes of people that spilled over onto the road, reminded me of why China is considered crowded. I dodged and dived up the road as my feet were stepped on by various passerbys and was very thankful that I was only visiting.
Tomorrow, I planned to do a little more exploring before heading to Nanjing but for this weary traveller it was time to find a quick bite to eat and a bed!

1.1 Background
Rabies is one of
the deadliest infectious disease that occurs in more than 150 countries in the
world. The disease is present on all continents with the exception of
Antarctica. Each year, 10.000 of people die from the infection it causes. Most
of the areas that are affected are in Asia and Africa, and account for over 95%
of human rabies deaths. The disease occurs mainly in remote rural communities.
Rabies outbreaks are rampant among impoverished and vulnerable populations. For
example, in India, rabies outbreaks occurs because of the high number of stray dogs
in the street around the settlement. This case has proven to us that aside from
the dog itself that could cause the infection, the condition of the living space
also plays a role in increasing the risk for people who lives in slums/poor rural
area to get infected by rabies.
1.2 Importance and Purpose
intention in raising this substance about rabies in rural area is because I
want to elaborate the 3rd point of Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) which is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all
ages and the 11th goals which is to make cities and human
settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Both of these topics
tend to make a connection because in order to promote healthy live, people
needs to be safe, to have the access for adequate, safe and affordable housing
and basic services. By combining these two matters together, it would create a more
realistic cases in enhancing awareness of the importance of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
1.3 Problem Formulation
1. What
is Rabies & its symptoms?
2. Why
does it brings dangers the most towards rural area?
3. How
is Pancasila perspective regarding to this matter?
4. What
is the solution & contribution that we can offer to this matter?
According to
World Health Organization (WHO), Rabies
is an infectious viral disease that is almost always fatal following the
onset of clinical symptoms, which could causes acute encephalitis (inflammation
of the brain). Rabies is a zoonotic disease, which means the disease could be transmitted
to human through the disease's host, which is mammals, but more likely dogs. In
up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission
to humans. Yet, rabies can affect both domestic and wild animals. It is spread
to people through bites, scratches, or usually via saliva.
The incubation
period for rabies is typically 1–3 months but may vary from 1 week to 1 year,
depend on the factors such as the location of virus entry and viral load. The main
symptoms of rabies include a fever with pain and unusual or unexplained
tingling, pricking, or burning sensation (paraesthesia) at the wound site. As
the virus spreads to the central nervous system, progressive and fatal
inflammation of the brain and spinal cord develops. There are two forms of the
People with furious rabies exhibit signs
of hyperactivity, excitable behaviour, hydrophobia (fear of water) and
sometimes aerophobia (fear of drafts or of fresh air). Death occurs after a few
days due to cardio-respiratory arrest.
Paralytic rabies accounts for about 30%
of the total number of human cases. This form of rabies runs a less dramatic
and usually longer course than the furious form. Muscles gradually become
paralyzed, starting at the site of the bite or scratch. A coma slowly develops,
and eventually death occurs. The paralytic form of rabies is often
misdiagnosed, contributing to the under-reporting of the disease.
in Poor Rural Area
Rabies is one of
the neglected tropical diseases that mostly affects poor and vulnerable
populations who live in remote rural locations. Prevalence in the rural areas
is due to the lack of vaccinations. There is low vaccination coverage of dogs,
and inability to finance the costs of vaccination for humans. This often
happens because there is no sufficient number of health facility that could
handle the outbreak. Other factors include poor management of dogs, and in
particular the free movement of dogs, which increases their risk of contracting
rabies from wildlife.
effective human vaccines exist for rabies, they are not readily available or
accessible to those in need. Globally, rabies deaths are rarely reported and
children between the ages of 5–14 years are frequent victims. Treating a rabies
exposure, where the average cost of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is
US$ 40 in Africa, and US$ 49 in Asia, can be a catastrophic financial burden on
affected families whose average daily income is around US$ 1–2 per person.
Beside that,
there are also many gaps in the knowledge and practices of the respondents
regarding rabies. This may be the result of the reduced participation of public
health agents in the transfer of details about the disease. The lack of
knowledge may be a direct determinant in the occurrence of new outbreaks.
perspective towards this matter
Pancasila is a
fundamental and ideal life perspective that guides the Indonesian people in
carrying out their life activities. It contains five basic values that form the
basis and reference in the nation and state life. Five of them pancasila are
the norms that must be used as a foundation in Indonesia's national development
so that nations and countries in its development process have a strong national
identity and are not easily influenced by other ideologies contrary to
Pancasila. Ideologies contrary to Pancasila along with development in the era
of globalization, has invade and affect the life of the Indonesian nation. One
of the development sectors secured by pancasila is health development. The
second phrase "fair and civilized
humanity" and the fifth phrase "Justice for all Indonesian
people". Fair and civilized humanity means everyone should have the same
opportunity to gain their rights as human beings with their human nature. Social
justice for all Indonesian people implies that all Indonesians should have
equal opportunity to have access to all sectors of development (social,
economic, health, environment, etc.) with the principle of equality in decent
living. Everyone means everyone, despite their ages, gender, skin color, race, ethnic,
religion, and last but not least, their living spaces, either in urban or rural.
People who lives in poor rural area must have the same chances to get the same healthcare
service when it comes to handling infectious and dangerous disease such as rabies.
They deserve to have a decent health facility in order to support the services,
and they deserve to live in a living spaces that is safe for them; a place where
they could stay comfortably, without having to worry all the time because of what
threatens them, in this case, stray dogs which didn't get vaccinated because no
one owns them.
Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease. Each
year over 14 million people receive a post-exposure vaccination to prevent the
disease. This vaccination prevents hundreds of thousands of rabies deaths.
Other strategies to control the disease consist of controlling the dog
population, vaccinating domesticated animals and education about prevention to
reduce the number of animal bites. After a bite, immediately cleaning the
wound, and immunization within a few hours after contact with the animal can
prevent the onset of rabies. But, due to the cost it takes for the vaccination
is considerably high, there is a clear need for specific educational
initiatives involving the local population and the public health entities, with
the primary aim of contributing to the prevention of rabies, especially in poor
rural areas. Also, WHO has come with a strategy, which called 'Zero by 30'. 'Zero
by 30' focuses on improving access to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for bite
victims; providing education on bite prevention; and, expanding dog vaccination
coverage to reduce human exposure risk. If this strategy could achieve zero by
2030, then it could possibly help the SDGs goals number 3 which is to ensure healthy
lives and promote well-being for all at all ages by eliminating rabies as one
of the major infectious disease in this world.
is a deadly zoonotic disease most often transmitted to humans through a dog
bite. Human mortality from endemic canine rabies is estimated by WHO to be
around 55,000 deaths annually, with over 31,000 deaths in Asia alone, mostly
children. Most of these deaths could be prevented through post-exposure
prophylaxis (PEP), including immediate wound washing, rabies immunoglobulin
administration and vaccination. Unfortunately, at-risk populations are not
well-informed of the risk of rabies and what to do in the event of an animal
especially in poor rural areas. The lack of sufficient facility to handle
rabies makes it harder for the citizen to get treatment. Based on that, I can
conclude that there is a
necessity to apply appropriate wound care and to consult the nearest rabies
prevention centre as soon as possible, and to add more
facility and creates a safer environment for rural areas so that the
possibility of the inhabitant in the poor rural area infected by rabies could
be decreased, and it will help the strategy 'Zero by 30' to become successful.
