Storage Array Demonstrates Stiff Upper Lip Under Pressure
Storm Sandy is just the contemporary in a barrage of unsettling occasions (tsunamis, earthquakes, droughts, international monetary crises, Arab unrest) fueling income of so-called emergency meals, usually freeze-dried and vacuum-filled with a 30-12 months shelf lifestyles. With Apollo, a brand new private cloud tool launching today, Promise era aims to mix the cloud's ease of use with the security of neighborhood garage. I know the lids at the Glass Lock are the very best to perform (IMHO) and feature the tightest seal but I've read user evaluations that say the tabs do not preserve up nicely to freezer storage so am questioning about that. That adjustments with the introduction of a new five-tier device that includes among its incentives a unfastened improve to 1TB garage on Google force.
They sell a variety of exquisite emergency meals brands in addition to plenty of different elements you would possibly need. It's miles one in all several such dining-through-catastrophe blogs and internet sites began these days, with suggestions on shopping for emergency food Conway, recipes and garage thoughts. These specialists are all required to buy meals merchandise from Thrive life monthly, after which recruit specialists underneath them to construct their down line. Shelf Reliance, now known as Thrive life is a totally solid meals garage organization, one of the more modern ones we've reviewed to date so perhaps nevertheless running out a number of the kinks with a view to help placed them within the pinnacle echelon of the enterprise. You could select whether otherwise you obtain e mail from customers with the aid of going to you> Account Settings> e-mail and pick the meals storage Reviewer coupons, promotions, and tips.

Most corporations inspire automated billing and transport plans that permit individuals to accumulate their emergency food shops incrementally, Mylar pouch by Mylar pouch. These types of mediums are top for reviewing merchandise however these days you don't even want to visit that plenty effort to start in your adventure to turning into a tech reviewer. Traits and specifications: those garage boxes work through trapping the ethylene gasoline that leads to spoilage using an activated carbon filter tucked into the lid. Smart company, Nitro-Pak and Emergency necessities are all properly meals garage offerings to help you have the food you want in case of surprising events such as power outages and hurricanes.

Amiodarone is considered a class III antiarrhythmic agent and is used for various types tachyarrhythmias. Because of its associated toxicity and serious side-effects it should be used cautiously and care should be taken to ensure that cumulative doses are not exceeded.
Indications for ACLS
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic that is used to treat both supraventricular arrhythmias and ventricular arrhythmias.
The mechanism of action of amiodarone remains unknown, but within the framework of ACLS, amiodarone is used primarily to treat ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia that occurs during cardiac arrest and is unresponsive to shock delivery, CPR, and vasopressors.
Amiodarone should not be used in individuals with polymorphic VT as it associated with a prolonged QT interval which is made worse with antiarrhythmic drugs.
Amiodarone should only be used after defibrillation/cardioversion and epinephrine (first line medication(s) have failed to convert VT/VF.
Amiodarone can be administered by intravenous or intraosseous route.
The maximum cumulative dose in a 24 hour period should not exceed 2.2 grams.
Within the VT/VF pulseless arrest algorithm, the dosing is as follows:
300mg IV/IO push → (if no conversion) 150 mg IV/IO push → (after conversion) Infusion #1 360 mg IV over 6 hours (1mg/min) → Infusion #2 540 mg IV over 18 hours (0.5mg/min)
For tachyarrhythmias other than life threatening, expert consultation should be considered before use.
For Tachycardia other than pulseless VT/VF, Amiodarone dosing is as follows: (see above note)
150 mg over 10 minutes → repeat as needed if VT recurs → maintenance infusion of 1mg/min for 6 hours
Amiodarone should only be diluted with D5W and given with an in-line filter.
Infusions exceeding 2 hours must be administered in glass or polyolefin bottles containing D5W.

Recently, I was asked why I decided to write a novel about psychic vampires. That is a very good question! To answer that question, however, I should probably touch on psychic vampirism.
The idea of psychic vampires was first introduced to me when working with a fellow writer. Immediately it put my writing cogs into motion. When I decided to write a young adult fiction story that revolved around psychic vampirism, I plunged into some research. The exploration of this topic brought me down different venues—some informative and enlightening, while others downright creepy.
Some explanations taught about the general energy exchange between human beings. This included the process of feeding off other people's emotions and life energy, not neglecting the angle of those people being fed upon. Other studies explored psychic vampirism as a complex belief, enriched with caste systems, different types of energy feeding, and a strong connection with one's past lives. The topic also touched on darker matter, which I chose not to pursue, only focusing on concepts that weren't spoiled and thwarted by negative or evil intentions.
Despite the contrasting explanations for psychic vampirism, it is solidly wrapped around one simple notion:
The exchange of energy is constant and real, a natural process that occurs between people and their environment. Life energy has been called different names, such as Prana or Chi. Fundamentally, it is the force generated within and through life, which connects to the world around us.
While writing my story I realized that we all play a part in energy feeding, in one way or another. Most importantly, we all experience being fed upon, whether we realize it or not. Many times people and the external circumstances they create in our lives drain or impact our energy level. I'm talking about the emotional and psychological hold that people have over us—if we let them. Their attachment, whether it's based on good or bad intentions, have specific consequences that affect our life force.
Because I believe that our energy is strongly connected to everyone and everything around us, I look at psychic vampirism as a strong comparison to the process of life energy. I have witnessed the strong attachment of people's tendrils. These coils attached to me and consumed my precious energy in different ways: co-dependency, guilt, pessimism, and even mental abuse. This energy exchange—or worse yet this energy plunder—throws us off balance, giving us the common feelings of stress, confusion, anger, and anxiety.
My novel focuses on psychic vampirism and weaves a story around it. Hera, my main character, is a teen that not only deals with a dysfunctional life, but is also connected to psychic vampirism in a special way. Her life force is completely off balance and her weakness hides the power she holds inside.
My story reveals that you have the power to harvest your energy—or to destroy it. In my story this message is hidden through vampires, prophecies, and love stories, intertwining magic and spirituality in a quest to draw strength from the darkest of places.
—-What do you think about energy feeding and life force? Have you ever been energy drained by someone?

Chiclayo is a part of Peru where the tropical sun, desert oases and fresh sea breeze come together. Legend has it that the god Naylamp sailed here with a vast retinue thousands of years ago to find his empire. In fact, many ancient civilizations saw the strategic advantage of controlling this region. Today, it is a major business hub in northern Peru, where routes come together from the coast, highlands and jungle. Chiclayo is the capital of the department of Lambayeque, which gave rise to the Mochica culture from the first to the seventh century AD.
Near the town of Sipán, 35 km (22 miles) from Chiclayo, lies Huaca Rajada, a complex where archaeologists discovered the tomb of the Lord of Sipán, a high-ranking leader whose body was accompanied by gold relics and jewelry. The treasure trove is on exhibition at the brand new museum: Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipan.
Another major complex is that of Túcume, also known as the Valley of the pyramids, because there are 26 of them. Visitors can take in archaeological sites and the natural landscape, as well as experience folk healing and a culture interchange in general, thanks to the active participation of the community in the preservation of their natural and cultural heritage.
Chiclayo also boasts of the finest cooking in northern Peru, serving dishes such as arroz con pato (duck served with rice) and the local variation of cebiche (raw fish marinated in lemon juice). The city celebrates the festival of Santisima Cruz de Chalpón in February. This is a good time to visit nearby Pimentel, a modern beach resort which provides opportunities for water sports such as surfing. One can also watch how the local fishermen still breast the waves with the caballitos de totora, the reed rafts that have been used along the north coast for thousands of years.
Huaca Rajada
In 1987, a small group of Peruvian archaeologists led by Dr Walter Alva discovered the tomb of an important Moche governor, at Huaca Rajada (at 21 miles southeast of the city of Chiclayo), complete with all his attire, riches and his symbols of power. The discovery was world news and is considered as important as the discovery of the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamon in 1922.
The Lord of Sipan died some 1770 years ago. As sovereign, he was considered a semigod. He lived for about 40 years and was 5.5 feet tall.
His rich robes and accessories included necklaces, breastplates, ear spools, nose rings, helmets, bracelets and sceptres, mostly in a combination of gold and silver.
Dr Walter Alva and our first Executive Director Edgar Pereyra
Of exceptional beauty are the three pairs of turquoise and gold ear ornaments showing ducks, deers and the Lord of Sipan himself, as well as the breastplates of delicately threaded shell beads. The necklace contains gold spheres and another of huge peanut shells - ten of which were in silver, ten in gold. The scepter is decorated with an inverted gold pyramid with scenes of human sacrifice.
There are also objects in copper, spondyllus shells and semiprecious stones. Most of the pieces are decorated with symbols.
Shortly after the discovery of the Lord of Sipan's tomb, Alva and his team found two more tombs, of a Priest and the Old Lord of Sipan.
The importance of this discovery and the need to provide an appropriate place to house the finds, led to the construction of the Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum, which opened in 2002 in the city of Lambayeque (9 miles from Chiclayo).
• Cebiche. Raw fish marinated in lemon juice, onion and aji chilli pepper.

It's so important to remember that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is just getting started. He is a very young man still growing into his role as an NHL player, not yet mature. Nuge doesn't look like Taylor Hall, who seems to looked more rugged by the hour. Nuge looks like one of my son's friends—doesn't get a lot of sunlight, doesn't say too much, probably really good at video games and saying "I don't know" a lot.
In the RE series the other day, I wrote
- This is the Nuge's third season, and he's recovered nicely from the injury-riddled sophomore campaign. He's off the pace I projected, for me the reasons are twofold: the power play hasn't been as good as we thought it would be, and Nuge may not be the offensive player we had hoped for when he was selected. Still miles to go, but his scoring is off projections by 22 points. He may not be a top flight offensive center when all is written.
Let's test that, shall we? How does Nuge compare to other kids of recent vintage at the same age? Hockey-reference tells us he's doing just fine. His .74/point-per-game run in his first three years (beginning at 18) shows him in the range with Taylor Hall, Patrice Bergeron, Marian Gaborik and some other brilliant hockey players. He's in very nice territory. My statement "he may not be a top flight offensive center when all is written" may end up being true, but I don't believe we can tell from here. When you consider his second season (injury filled, ineffective) then Nuge's number might be closer to Toews with good health.
Please baby Jesus.
Chicago brought Toews in so wonderfully. Centermen on the Hawks with Toews in his rookie season included Dave Bolland, Yanic Perreault, Robert Lang and Patrick Sharp. Holy hell what a position of strength. I wonder if the Oilers should try to get a real upgrade on Gagner—looking for a Bergeron-Krejci west—and turn a position of weakness into a strength.
Trying to catch a sunbeam in a basket. Heh. An unusual turn of phrase, but Keon was elusive and maddening in the same way as Nugent-Hopkins can be already. I keep thinking on Nuge as a modern Keon—the great Maple Leaf was a complete player though shy of Toews-level offensively—but RNH is his own man and comparisons shouldn't overwhelm the unwritten script. Nugent-Hopkins may well be Keon's equal without the puck, and his superior with it—we shall have to wait and see.


text:
Imagine forcing a Red Line train to slam on its brakes at the tap of a button. Or leaving Chicago's finest in the dust during a thrilling chase on Wacker Drive by activating the Wells Street bridge.
It's a video game, yes, but the much hyped techno-thriller "Watch Dogs" -- finally hitting gaming consoles and PCs on May 27 -- doubles as a Chicagoan's wildest fantasy. In the shoes of a mysterious vigilante named Aiden Pearce, players are armed with a futuristic device that can hack into almost anything on the city's grid -- electrical systems, security cameras, even smartphones. Think of Pearce as Batman armed with a superpowered phone app.

BERLIN (AFP) – Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Friday that NATO is important not just for Europe but also for the United States, speaking as a major security gathering kicked off in Munich.
"I think we should all be aware of the mutual value of NATO," she said at a joint Berlin press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"That's true for us in Germany and for European member states in the transatlantic alliance.
"But I think the strength of the United States of America has also rather grown because of NATO, and that NATO is also an important organisation for the United States of America."
She added that questions about the alliance should be discussed "in the spirit of our shared interest".
Merkel was to later head to the Munich Security Conference, where a major focus was on foreign policy questions raised by US President Donald Trump.
Trump recently labelled the alliance "obsolete" and has repeatedly challenged other member states to raise their defence spending if they want the US military to help protect them.
Merkel reiterated that Germany plans to boost its defence spending to two percent of gross domestic product, as agreed at a 2014 NATO summit in Wales.

The Composers and their Music
Murray Adaskin
After being a successful violinist in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Murray Adaskin (1906-2002), in his thirties, decided to focus more on composing music. He became one of Canada's most distinguished composers. The National Arts Centre Orchestra requested a composition from him for their inaugural concert. For an important occasion such as this composers would often write something serious or grandiose. Adaskin decided on a "diversion" instead. Divertimentos became popular in the mid-1700s as light, playful instrumental works. Adaskin's Diversion for Orchestra is no exception. The Rondo form (A-B-A-C-A) switches between solo instruments, instrument families, and quirky full orchestra sections.

John Beckwith
Along with many other composers, John Beckwith (b. 1927) studied with John Weinzweig. Originally written for piano, Music for Dancing, was Beckwith's first commission; he was twenty-one. After a discarded initial version, Beckwith scored this version for the National Ballet of Canada. It is a light and humorous suite of movements for dance. Each movement has a self-revealing name; Prelude, First Pantomime, Valse, Second Pantomime, Polka, Dance for Two, and finally, Round Dance. These short movements are brought together into one piece by their always dancelike rhythms and shifts.

John Estacio
John Estacio (b. 1966) has become one of Canada's loved and most often commissioned composers. He has served as composer in residence for the Banff Centre, Calgary Opera, the Calgary Philharmonic, and the Edmonton symphony. During his time in Edmonton he composed, among other things, Frenergy. Orchestras often program short multi-themed compositions at the beginning of concerts. These overtures have developed from a tradition of introducing themes of an opera or setting the mood of the rest of the concert. Estacio used material from compositional sketches for a concerto for this frequently performed concert opener.

Jacques Hétu
Jacques Hétu (1938-2010) studied in Canada with Clermont Pépin and in France with Olivier Messiaen. Robert Markow observes that Hétu did not adopt a particular "ism" and did not adhere to a specific style (p. 19). Despite this, Hétu was drawn to structures and forms. His Concerto pour flûte , like most other concertos, has three contrasting movements. The middle movement, more specifically, adheres to a ternary form, an 18th century structure. In the A section a flute is accompanied by a muted trumpet, the middle, B, section begins with a violin solo with virtuosic flute accompaniment, and then the A section returns this time with woodwind accompaniment.
Portrait of composer Jacques Hétu
Clermont Pépin
Clermont Pépin (1926-2006) studied composition in Philadelphia, Toronto, and, because of a Canada Council Grant, in Paris. Symphonie No. 2, like much of his other work uses modern musical language such as complex rhythms and atonal material, within traditional forms. Like the symphonies of the late 1700's, Pépin's composition shares the characteristics of three movements and fast-slow-fast tempo. The three-movements make use of different Baroque forms. The opening movement, Toccata, has running, virtuosic passages. The second movement, Chorale, is a slow-moving harmonization of a tonal shifting hymn-like them. The final movement is an atonal fugue with a shifting melodic theme. Each structure provides Pépin with a container to explore his shifting harmonic and complex rhythmic language.
Portrait of composer Clermont Pépin
Godfrey Ridout
The concerto is a popular choice of compositional form for Canadian composers. Using viola as a solo instrument is not so popular. Despite this choice, Ballade for Viola and Strings was Godfrey Ridout's (1918-1984) first large success. Ridout was a self-proclaimed musical conservative. At the age of twenty he wrote this beautiful conversation between the viola and string orchestra.

Publication Abstract
Authors: Steele CB, Townsend JS, Tai E, Thomas CC
Title: Physician visits and preventive care among Asian American and Pacific Islander long-term survivors of colorectal cancer, USA, 1996-2006.
Journal: J Cancer Surviv 8(1):70-9
Date: 2014 Mar
Abstract: PURPOSE: Published literature on receipt of preventive healthcare services among Asian American and Pacific Islander (API) cancer survivors is scarce. We describe patterns in receipt of preventive services among API long-term colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. METHODS: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry-Medicare data were used to identify 9,737 API and white patients who were diagnosed with CRC during 1996-2000 and who survived 5 or more years beyond their diagnoses. We examined receipt of vaccines, mammography (females), bone densitometry (females), and cholesterol screening among the survivors and how the physician specialties they visited for follow-up care correlated to services received. RESULTS: APIs were less likely than whites to receive mammography (52.0 vs. 69.3 %, respectively; P < 0.0001) but more likely to receive influenza vaccine, cholesterol screening, and bone densitometry. These findings remained significant in our multivariable model, except for receipt of bone densitometry. APIs visited PCPs only and both PCPs and oncologists more frequently than whites (P < 0.0001). Women who visited both PCPs and oncologists compared with PCPs only were more likely to receive mammography (odds ratio = 1.40; 95 % confidence interval, 1.05-1.86). CONCLUSIONS: Visits to both PCPs and oncologists were associated with increased use of mammography. Although API survivors visited these specialties more frequently than white survivors, API women may need culturally appropriate outreach to increase their use of this test. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Long-term cancer survivors need to be aware of recommended preventive healthcare services, as well as who will manage their primary care and cancer surveillance follow-up.

Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie interview
Interview by Rob Carnevale
ACCLAIMED author Salman Rushdie talks about some of the challenges of adapting his own Booker Prize winning novel, Midnight's Children, into a film and why he's pleased with the results.
He also shares his views on the current state of India, how he thinks the film will be received there and why he regrets turning down the chance to play himself in Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights. He was speaking at a press conference held during the London Film Festival.
Q. This is not the first time someone's tried to make a book into a film or even a TV series. Why did you think Deepa was the right person to trust your baby with?
Salman Rushdie: I guess we met around the time of Water. I got invited in New York City to a screening, which I really loved. She heard I really loved it and that helped. I actually had to interview her on television and then we just gradually got to know each other over a couple of years.
Q. The Charlie Rose Show?
Salman Rushdie: Yes, Charlie Rose was unwell and I had to sit in for him. So, I got the job of interviewing Deepa and it was a treat [smiles]. And then we gradually got to know each other better and then we talked about sometime working together and we discussed other novels too as possible things to do. And then she asked about Midnight's Children. I could see her passion for the story and that it felt personal to her as well. And I think people direct good films when they feel personal to them, not because it's a famous book or something. It has to something move over that and somehow become personal to the director. And I think it was clear that that was so. So, I thought it sounded perfect to me and that was four and a half years ago.
Q. You obviously wrote the book when you were in your 20s, and you had to cut down your story to turn it into a film, so how did you choose what to cut out?
Salman Rushdie: It's interesting. It was just a question of finding what was the narrative line that went most clearly through the book. So, for instance in Saleem's mother's family in the novel she has not only two sisters but two brothers as well. In the film, the brothers have disappeared I'm sorry to say. I'm quite fond of them. I'm especially fond of the film director and his crazy actress wife. So, of course there's things I feel sad about. But in the end, the story of the sisters seemed to be indispensible because without that, you can't actually tell the story of the book. And the story of the brothers felt that you could separate that. The novel is quite deliberately digressive. It's always going off in all sorts of directions and telling all kinds of stories but with the film you have to be more clear about the line you're following through. So, the process of selection was based on what is it that allows us most purely to tell the central narrative line of the book.
Q. Is it strange going back and revisiting your earlier work?
Salman Rushdie: It was. I think one of the things that allowed me to be the script writer was the fact there was such a long gap. I think that if it was a book that I'd just written, I would not have done the adaptation. I think I would not have even been the best person to do the adaptation. But because this was this younger self that I could go and look back at what that guy did all those years ago when nobody knew who the hell he was… There were moments when I looked at it and thought: "Gosh! That's good!" But there were other moments when I thought: "No, not so much." But the ability to have that distance from the book was, I think, what allowed me to do it.
Q. How was working with Deepa?
Salman Rushdie: I think both of us were nervous about sitting down to work with each other. And that was a very reassuring thing because it meant we were actually thinking about this down the same line.
Q. This film has been censored for the Indian market? How and what do you feel about that?
Salman Rushdie: No, no, it hasn't been censored. It just has to go through the board of censors, which every movie released in India has to do, including Indian films. You need a certificate. It doesn't mean that anything is going to be cut.
Q. How do you feel about where India is today in 2012 given that you got release of this movie? Does it suggest that India is on a fast road to democracy at this point?
Salman Rushdie: It is a democracy but it's a flawed democracy. I think one of the great things about India has been the way in which people take great pride in their vote and use it. There is a much higher voting percentages in Indian than in the United States, for example. But it's a flawed democracy. There are people in India over the last few years who have complained a great deal about corruption and so on. It's a big subject there. I don't think the release of this film is here or there. It's a book that's been well liked in India for three decades and now there's a movie. What I think is great is that the cast are very excited. And, of course, the Indian audience will be very excited about this cast because while they may not be very household named outside of India, they are household names inside India. So, it really is for Indian audiences an all-star cast and I think people are really excited to see how the film is with these wonderful actors.
Q. Are you happy with the film?
Salman Rushdie: I am, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here! I've told a couple of times today the story of this gentleman who was sitting next to me when the first screening had taken place at the Telluride Film Festival and when the lights came up at the end he had tears on his cheeks. I said: "I'm sorry I made you cry." And he said a lovely thing in reply. He said: "No, these are tears of beauty." And I thought what could be a better review for a film. I've watched audiences now in the US, Canada and here responding to the film and they all respond the same way… they're deeply affected by it. I would prefer that than for it to be purely cerebral.
Q. Which films more comfortable to you, providing the voiceover for Midnight's Children or playing yourself in something like Bridget Jones?
Salman Rushdie: I think playing yourself is something that gets old very quickly. There's one that I'm very sad not to have been able to do. I was asked to be in one moment of the film that eventually became Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights. They had this idea of having some very, very inappropriate people dressed as NASCAR drivers, in the full uniform, with the slow motion and with the helmet, etc, looking like a scene from Top Gun. I think I'm right in saying they wanted me, Julian Schnabel and Lou Reed [laughs]. But it didn't happen. We could all not do it for various reasons. But in hindsight, I'm sad about that.
Q. At which point did the voiceover come into play?
Salman Rushdie: Quite late. Initially, we thought we could do it without a voiceover. I think one of the rules that we had was that the voiceover should not be there to tell you what was going on because you were seeing that anyway. So, the voiceover should be there to add another layer.
Q. Didn't you turn it down at first?
Salman Rushdie: Well, I didn't want it to sound amateurish. But I'm reassured that people seem to be OK with it. I originally sent an email saying: "We'll try it but if we put it on the film and it sounds amateurish then I'll fire myself and we'll find an actor." But I didn't have to fire myself.
Q. What is insensitive that has caused a reaction to this novel?
Salman Rushdie: Nothing. The problems around me have not to do with this novel, they have to do with another novel. But sometimes there's a kind of spill over. I think the answer to one of the earlier questions about why this film wasn't made before is that there was a long period in the aftermath of the fatwa against The Satanic Verses where it was probably difficult to make a film associated with anything that I had done. But that created a sort of wilderness of a dozen years or more during which it wasn't possible to make a film – not just The Satanic Verses but anything else. So, any problems that were associated with producing this film had to do with the remnants of that problem rather than anything to do with this book. And fortunately we were able to overcome them.
Q. Do you think the actors do justice to the book?
Salman Rushdie: Yes. There were moments when we were casting the film when actors would be proposed or would walk in the room and you really couldn't imagine a better… for example, Seema Biswas, who is playing Mary. She was the first person we saw. And Shahana Goswami, as the grandmother, was another first person. I mean Shahana is just as fierce as my grandmother [laughs] – better looking, but just as fierce.
Q. You've both suffered at the hands of religious extremists in the past. What do you think about the recent case of the 14-year-old girl who arrived in the UK from Pakistan after being shot in the head by extremists because of her views? Do you think the reaction in Pakistan suggests a tipping point about this kind of bullying?
Salman Rushdie: I hope so. For a girl to get shot in the head because she wants an education is horrifying and shows how bad things have become in Pakistan because of Pakistan's tolerance of these extremists within its boundaries. Yeah, I think at least the reaction has been horrified and hopefully it will be a moment that that country understands that it needs to solve these problems. If you give safe haven to terrorist groups, they are going to behave like this and, in the end, that's your fault.
Q. Are you worried about any possible adverse reactions from fundamentalists in India to this film?
Salman Rushdie: There is nothing in this film, or this story, that is not discussed every day in India. There is nothing in the story that is in any way taboo. This is part of the history of India and we all know it. And this is a drama which, in part, talks about great historical events and all of this is a matter of record.
Q. Was there ever any discussion about doing Midnight's Children as a mini-series, in order to preserve more of the book?
Salman Rushdie: No, it's too late now [laughs]. But the simple fact is the book's still there. The book hasn't gone anywhere. And if there's scenes that you like, then go read them! I like all the scenes in the book because I wrote the damn book [laughs]. And yes, I think there were moments that we both wanted in the film that haven't made it into the film. One or two of them might end up into the deleted scenes because there were some that we shot that didn't make it into the final cut. For instance, there's the scene where Amina visits the fortune teller who tells her this weird fortune, which ends up being virtually the plot of the novel. We shot that scene.
I think if you look at any films of books, this is an inevitable side effect. If you look at the film of Anna Karenina, there's a great deal of Anna Karenina that's not in the film. And in The English Patient, the novel is much more focused on the character of the Sikh bomb disposal expert and the nurse… not so much on the English patient. The film makes a huge shift from one to the other. And I think Michael Ondaatje was OK about it. He felt that it worked cinematically. But the book is still there. So, that's what I would say to the fans. Nothing has happened to the book.
Q. Where do you think the Indian and Asian masses are heading whether it's to do with their written word or what's shown on TV?
Salman Rushdie: I don't think the problem is with the audience really. I think sometimes there's a problem in between the work of art and the audience. I think the Indian audience is pretty sophisticated nowadays – and more and more so. And from what I've heard coming out of India is that people are dying to see the film. These negative things get brought up in press conferences but I don't hear that coming back from India. All I hear is 'when is the film coming out?' 'When can we see it?' 'When is it on?' That's what people are asking.
Q. Do you think more of your books might now be adapted for the screen?
Salman Rushdie: I won't expect the floodgates to open yet. I don't think that all of my books are actual movies. But I've always thought that Haroun And The Sea of Stories could be a movie and I've always thought that The Enchantress of Florence could be a movie. And Shalimar The Clown. So, I don't know. But I was lucky in this case to find a fellow creative artist who had a passion for the thing. And I've always thought that my books are going to happen in that way rather than big studios coming in. I'm not sure that these are big studio books. They're too complicated.
Q. But you don't know of any plans afoot at the moment?
Salman Rushdie: At the moment there isn't anything. I wish there was. I'm developing a drama series for American television but that's not based on any of my books. It's an original idea.
Q. How did you tackle the magic realism on film?
Salman Rushdie: When people use the term magic realism, usually they only mean 'magic' and they don't hear 'realism', whereas the way in which magic realism actually works is for the magic to be rooted in the real. It's both things. It's not just a fairytale moment. It's the surrealism that arises out of the real. So, if you can make it feel like that, then it works.

Skip to comments.Hindu fundamentalists injure Christians during screening of The Passion of the Christ
Posted on 04/01/2005 6:36:23 AM PST by wesley_windam-price
Kochi (AsiaNews) A gaggle of Hindu fundamentalists assaulted Christians who were watching a screening of The Passion of the Christ inside the Kanai Church, the oldest church in the state of Kerala (south-western India). One Christian was seriously wounded and scores of others were beaten and injured, including women and children.
The incident occurred on Easter Eve in Chalakud Taluna when 25 militants from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)the paramilitary wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)disrupted the viewing of Mel Gibsons movie and started attacking the spectators, one of whom George Kutty, was seriously hurt. Kanai Church members are followers of Canai Thoma, who reached Kerala from Persia in 425 AD.
Speaking to AsiaNews, John Dayal, president of the All India Catholic Union, said that these anti-Christian attacks are probably designed to discredit the Congress Party which currently rules Kerala. The Chief Minister, Oomen Chandy, is Christian.
Concern is also growing among Christians and the Church in Maharashtra, the most secular Indian state and under a Congress Party administration, where State Home Affairs Minister Sidharam Mhetre presented an anti-conversion law. It follows the main lines of a similar bill already presented in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Should it become law, the bill would, among other things, require anyone changing religion to submit an affidavit to the authorities.
Human rights activists have often said that anti-conversion laws are used by Hindu fundamentalists to persecute non Hindus.
In Tamil Nadu the anti-conversion bill has been withdrawn after a prolonged campaign by opponents.
Dolphy DSouza, president of the Bombay (Mumbai) Catholic Sabha (assembly), said the proposal by Congress-led Maharashtra was shameful.
The Bombay Catholic Sabha is anguished and pained at the response of Mr Sidharam Mhetre, Mr DSouza said.
He added that if the government thinks it can pass a law against the people, we can tell him that we and other organisations shall launch a campaign against the anti-conversion law.
Maharashtras Chief Minister had already publicly stated that such a law was not necessary. (NC-LF)
Oh, I recognize it. Not of this world, world hated your master, so of course it will hate you.
Still shocks me, though.
Fundamentalism in ANY religion produces intolerance.
Cannot believe such thing. Yes there are intolerant closed minded Christians, but no I cannot believe a Christian preaching love of all, and forcing people to convert. Perhaps making it attractive to convert by providing financial aids.
I don't know, I really cannot say. I think anyone is capable of violence, and I hate it especially when it is done using the garb of religion. I wouldn't want to share the guilt of absolving someone else's act of violence.
Well, the Serbs tried that, and look what it got them. ;)
Hate has such a strong meaning in todays society. I have a 1864 Websters that describes hate as : extreme dislike. So I do have a extreme dislike for muslims. And I understand that there might be some decent muslims. I wonder why they dont speak up. Could it be because they will do as the cult of the moon god tells them to do just when it is convienant for them?
I cannot add to what you have said. You appear to know more about India than I do. You make good points.
Good point. Islam lies to the potential converts. For black Americans they tell them that Christianity is White man religion. For women in India they tell them that Islam is foe EQUALITY? Common people!
I think the problem in Islam is the engrained acts of violence that Muslims must purport toward 'infidels'. As long as these verses remain in the Quran, reform will be impossible in Islam. That being said, there are indeed a lot of moderate Muslims. But even among these, when an urge comes in them to go deeper into the religion, they also tend to go violent, simply because of the written edicts in the Quran, which describe procedures to be carried out to 'infidels' with great detail.
In ways, yes. But you must not forget, 'missionaries' can come in various colours. For example, in India, there is a rift that exists between the Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox sects of Christianity. And missionaries of each sect try to outwin the other in gaining converts. I am aware that Catholics don't send their kids to Protestant schools and vice-versa. Hence the baggage.
However, true missionaries are always stay this.
Well that is absolutely correct. Orthodox tends to protect their turf, and so are Catholic, and even Protestant for that matter. Protestant, however, are typically the intruders in most of these countries, because they are the new comers and they seek market share. In the US, for example Protestants fight hard to keep their market share from getting eroded to the Mormons, and other new sects.
Religions, in general is very easily resembles market share protection or sport club fanatic supports. Don't you think?
As long as religion is kept as a strictly private issue, problems don't turn up normally.
As long as it remains a popularity sport, violence will follow.
But exceptions may be there.
Actually Kerala has only around 55% Hindus.Christians & Muslims compose close to 45%(near equal ratio).
IF you see the (bitter) rivalry between opposing sections of India's oldest Eastern Orthodox groups,you will think that the usual Catholic-protestant tiff is child's play.One group owes alliegiance to the Patriach at Antioch,while a breakaway faction has now installed a 'Metropolitan' based in India as their head.There have been more than 1 violent clash & court disputes for control of massive wealth owned by the community.Come to think of it,many of these folks are descendents of Christians who came from Syria ages ago!!
Yes, I realised that. It's 60% Hindu.
Yes, I know one Orthodox couple from Kerala, who broke off relations with their son because he married a Catholic.
Some of the Orthodox members show a lot of disdain and look down upon the Catholics and Protestants. They tend to believe they are 'superior' because they were Christians for more than 1000 years.
And to talk about Ireland, that's another story altogether.
"Fundamentalism in ANY religion produces intolerance."
I don't know about that. I am a fundamentalist Christian, as in I believe what the Bible says -- and I don't pick and choose the parts I agree with (something many "fundamentalists" do).
I truly respect a person's free will. People have a right to be whatever religion (or no religion) they please. It's a very Biblical concept; God does not force Himself on you.
I am sad, however, that people don't know and/or reject Christ and I may pray for them, and I may try to tell them about Christianity.
And yes, I think there is a pretty good chance that non-Christians are going to burn in Hell. (Although I've heard arguments that Christ's sacrifice was so great it saves everyone; nice thought, and I hope they are right, but I don't think so.)
That does not mean I think they are bad people. Some of the most horrid, nasty, people I know are Christians. Some of the best people I knwo are not Christians. But that's not the issue --- the issue is whether one falls short of being "sinless" and there is only one way I know of to do that.
So, am I intolerant? I don't think so.
"Intersting, so do women martyrs get 72 virgins? Where do these virgins come from?"
No, they get 72 credit cards.

Examples of ingurgitate in a Sentence
with no time for fine dining, we just ingurgitated our food and went on our way
Did You Know?
Most people are familiar with "regurgitate" as a fancy synonym for "throw up," but far fewer know of its rarer antonym "ingurgitate." It's a word as likely to turn up in a spelling bee as in a conversation, but it does see occasional use, both literal (as in "ingurgitating red wine") and figurative (as in "ingurgitating artwork"). "Regurgitate" and "ingurgitate" (as well as "gurgitate," an even rarer synonym of "ingurgitate," and gorge, meaning "to eat greedily) can be ultimately traced back to the Latin word for "whirlpool," which is "gurges."
Origin and Etymology of ingurgitate

- Retin A Gel (Janssen-Ortho)
Use tretinoin topical exactly as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Using more medicine or applying it more often than prescribed will not make it work any faster, and may increase side effects. Do not use this medication for longer than your doctor has prescribed.
Wash your hands before and after applying tretinoin topical. Before applying, clean and dry the skin area to be treated.
Applying tretinoin topical to wet skin may cause skin irritation. If you use Renova, wait at least 20 minutes after washing your face before applying a thin layer of the medication.
Do not wash the treated area for at least 1 hour after applying tretinoin topical. Avoid the use of other skin products on the treated area for at least 1 hour following application of tretinoin topical.
Applying an excessive amount of tretinoin gel may result in "pilling" of the medication. If this occurs, use a thinner layer of gel with the next application.
Tretinoin topical should be used as part of a complete skin care program that includes avoiding sunlight and using an effective sunscreen and protective clothing.
Use this medication for as many days as it has been prescribed for you even if you think it is not working. It may take weeks or months of use before you notice improvement in your skin. If you are using tretinoin topical to treat acne, your condition may get slightly worse for a short time when you first start using the medication. Call your doctor if skin irritation becomes severe or if your acne does not improve within 8 to 12 weeks.
Store tretinoin topical at room temperature away from moisture and heat. The gel formulations of Tretinoin are flammable, keep them away from open flame.
Tretinoin Gel, Cream or Liquid should be applied once a day, before retiring, to the skin where acne lesions appear, using enough to cover the entire affected area lightly. Liquid: The liquid may be applied using a fingertip, gauze pad, or cotton swab. If gauze or cotton is employed, care should be taken not to oversaturate it to the extent that the liquid would run into areas where treatment is not intended. Gel: Excessive application results in "pilling" of the gel, which minimizes the likelihood of over application by the patient.
Application may cause a transitory feeling of warmth or slight stinging. In cases where it has been necessary to temporarily discontinue therapy or to reduce the frequency of application, therapy may be resumed or frequency of application increased when the patients become able to tolerate the treatment.
Alterations of vehicle, drug concentration, or dose frequency should be closely monitored by careful observation of the clinical therapeutic response and skin tolerance.
During the early weeks of therapy, an apparent exacerbation of inflammatory lesions may occur. This is due to the action of the medication on deep, previously unseen lesions and should not be considered a reason to discontinue therapy.
Therapeutic results should be noticed after two to three weeks but more than six weeks of therapy may be required before definite beneficial effects are seen.
Once the acne lesions have responded satisfactorily, it may be possible to maintain the improvement with less frequent applications, or other dosage forms.
Patients treated with Tretinoin acne treatment may use cosmetics, but the area to be treated should be cleansed thoroughly before the medication is applied.

Breed Characteristics
English Springer Spaniel
The English Springer Spaniel was developed in the early 16th century & was breed as a gun dog to help flush out and retriever game. The Cocker Spaniel & Springers were once the same breed. They eventually divided the two dogs by their size. The Cockers were to be under 25lbs and the Springers over 40lbs. This breed was first recognized by the AKC in 1927 and grouped as Sporting.
- Country of Origin: England
- Weight: 40 - 55 lbs
- Height: 18 - 21 inches
- Color: The English Springer Spaniel coat colors are black & white and liver & white. They can also have a variety of tan markings on their body, ears, face & eyebrows. They often have freckles on their legs & muzzle.
Breed Characteristics
English Springer Spaniels are intelligent, gentle & faithful. They are enthusiastic and can learn commands very quickly. Springer Spaniels love to play in the yard with children, which makes them excellent family pets.
The English Springer Spaniel life expectancy is between 12 - 15 years. For the most part, the English Springer Spaniel is sound and healthy. Here are a few genetic health concerns to watch for in this breed:
• Progressive Retinal Atrophy
• Hip Dysplasia
• Allergies
• Epilepsy
Their outer coat is flat or wavy & medium in length. The undercoat is short and soft to the touch. They also have feathering on their underbelly, ears & legs.
This breed requires daily brushing with a firm bristle brush. Daily brushing will help to prevent tangling & matting on the coat, especially in the areas where the coat is feathered. Bathe when necessary. Bathing too frequently could cause the coat to dull or become dry.

Family 411: Having an alcohol discussion with your kids
Parents are a big influence on their children.
So when it comes to alcohol, experts believe a conversation about drinking is better sooner than later.
Some parents lock it up, some leave it out. While other moms and dads just don't have any alcohol around the house.
Children are watching and learning.
"Children start to really form opinions and attitudes about alcohol as early as age nine."
Psychiatrist Dr. Megan Schabbing says it's important parents talk to children about alcohol and have the conversation early.
"It's kind of a matter of they don't know what to say. They don't know when to say it."
Dr. Schabbing says keep the conversation brief, in an open forum that's not threatening.
"You know if you were to drink and you get caught, you could wind up having a permanent criminal record."
Jean Glagola has always had an open relationship with her children.
"I would rather they learn anything and everything from us."
She says she grew up with alcohol around her and the freedom to try it.
"I can remember going on vacation to Atlantic City being eight or ten years old and my mom would say do you want to try the pina colada."
Jean brought the same philosophy into her own home.
"If they wanted to try it, they could try it."
Jean's two children are now adults but says she's built the same open relationship with her stepchildren.
A 16-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son.
"He can't wait till he's old enough to drink because he likes the different flavor of beer."
Dr. Schabbing advises against allowing children to sample alcohol.
"You want them to think in their minds it's not okay to drink under age."
Jean says her children understand drinking is an adult activity that comes with responsibilities and consequences.
"I'm sure there are other children if doesn't work with. You have to take another avenue for that, but I think for most kids, if you're honest with them, and practice what you preach, they'll see that."
Dr. Schabbing suggests finding a natural way to bring up the conversation, one that could be related to your own behaviors.
If you'd like more information on how to start the discussion, there are resources out there that offer recommendations like the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) February 07, 2014
fishbat, a leading online marketing firm, discusses the benefit of making intelligent branding decisions even though they may affect the bottom line.
According to a February 5th article from CNN.com titled "CVS stores to stop selling tobacco," CVS Caremark will completely phase out the sale of cigarettes and all tobacco products in its stores by October 1. As the brand changed to promote more health conscious behavior, selling cigarettes seemed to be inconsistent with the brand message. As the largest pharmacy in the United States with more than 7,600 stores nationwide, the company estimates a $2 billion loss as a result of the tobacco ban. CVS/pharmacy is the first national pharmacy chain to remove tobacco products.
The article also notes that the same day the company announced the ban they also announced plans to launch a national smoking-cessation program to start in the spring at their CVS/pharmacy, CVS Minute Clinic locations and online.
Justin Maas, vice president of client relations at online marketing firm fishbat, says this an extremely bold, smart, well-timed move on behalf of CVS. "This is sending a very strong core message that the company is putting their consumers ahead of their bottom line," he says. "It is the first in its retail category to make such a move and has secured its place as the leader of the pack as a result. In the big picture, the brand is now stronger than ever and that is worth more than the revenue loss."
Mass adds, "Timing the announcement with the FDA launch of its campaign against teen smoking and creating their own smoking cessation program shows the company is on board with making a healthy America. The overwhelmingly positive reaction from the media, consumers, former smoker President Obama and health officials will only strengthen CVS' relationship with doctors who are a key component the company's mission and overall success. This is a complete win win for all."
fishbat is a full-service digital marketing firm and social media agency dedicated to connecting all types of businesses with their target audiences in the most effective and efficient way. Through innovative strategies in social media management, search engine optimization (SEO), branding, web design, reputation management and public relations, fishbat promotes a consistent and professional online voice for all of its clients.

BAKER — Baker lived up to its No. 2 seed with a 47-29 regional-round win over Northwest in a rough-and-tumble game Thursday night.
The Buffaloes used their standard formula of defense, rebounding and free throw shooting in chalking up their 100th win in the past four seasons.
The win means they will move into the quarterfinals for the fourth straight year. Baker will play E.D. White, a 52-37 winner over Caldwell Parish, in the quarterfinals
"This is a good group," Baker coach Mike Stephens said. The three seniors (Jacquis Dodson, Anita Whitfield and Tia Hughes) have been with me for four years, since we were state runner-up when they were freshmen."
Different players took turns stepping up for Baker (23-5) at different times Thursday. Eugena James scored eight points of her 13 points in the second quarter.
Jacquis Dodson led the scoring in the third quarter with seven of her nine points. Whitfield and Dodson took over in the fourth quarter, scoring all six of the Buffaloes' points and took over the ballhandling chores as Baker held the ball to ice the game.
Baker also shot 11 of 12 from the free-throw line, although they shot just better than 50 percent in the regular season.
"There's something about these girls when they step into the big spotlight," Stephens said. "They've been there before."
The Raiders solved the Baker press and took advantage of some cold Baker shooting to craft an 11-10 lead after one quarter.
The Buffaloes found their rhythm, though, and created three straight turnovers to reclaim the lead early in the second quarter. After Breanna Lavine hit two free throws to tie the score at 16, Baker ran off 10 straight points.
Jones led the Buffaloes' surge with eight points, while Iesha Smith and Ariane Addison scored four apiece.
Baker controlled the second half, holding the Raiders to 11 points and only four in the fourth quarter.
The often-hectic pace, with bodies flying around, wasn't one the Stephens said the Buffaloes liked, but it was the style that Northwest (17-11) wanted.
"They were very athletic and wanted to run and gun," Stephens said. "We expected that, and we knew we'd have to get back on defense. They have some good players, and their little point guard (Lavine) is great. They made some nice shots in the first quarter, and kudos to them.
"In the fourth quarter, we thought we could pull them out, stall the ball a little and that's what we did."
Lavine had a torrid first half with 12 points, but Baker held her scoreless in the second.
"We hoped to win the game," Northwest coach Natasha Malone said, "but we had too many turnovers.
"That was our pace, definitely. This was feet to the fire the whole game. We practice against boys every day, and they don't have a choice. Keep up or get left behind. They didn't do anything we didn't expect, but we didn't take care of the ball."

Focus Groups:
Hitting the Bull's-Eye
Phillip Miller & Paul Scoptur
Why don't lawyers do focus groups? Too expensive; I know what the winning arguments are; I know my case; I don't need to know what jurors think; I already know what jurors think. Really?
Unfortunately, this is the all-too-common mindset of many lawyers.
Phillip and Paul think differently. In the minds of many, doing focus groups is required in any substantial case. Unfortunately, the experience of working trial lawyers is that focus groups are often too expensive with results that are not generally helpful (beyond telling you that your case stinks). We discuss and dismiss the myths about focus group research and suggest approaches that get you the information you need without spending a fortune. Your comfort level with the process, economics, and outcomes will change radically.
The print book is available to preorder now for $119.99, plus $5 shipping. An e-book will be available soon.

Preventable Injury and Disease in America by Harry Philo
Harry Philo, who served as AAJ president from 1980-81, sought to educate lawyers about the importance of tort law and its impact on our society. After earning his law degree in 1959 while working on the assembly line at the Ford Rouge Plant, he was thoroughly committed to exposing and eliminating unreasonable privileges and immunities in the law.
Harry wrote Preventable Injury and Disease in America, which AAJ published in 1988. This gem of a book is written by a lawyer deeply committed to the elimination of what he called the "legal license to kill and maim."
