One Watertown family remembers the Armenian Genocide

WATERTOWN, MA - Narini Badalian, 25, represents the next generation of Armenians and local residents who stand proud to speak out about their history and the reality of what they know as the Armenian Genocide.
Her parents, Tatoul and Varteni, are sure to stand by her side, their own lives representing a long history of pain and emotion.
Born and raised in Watertown, Narini said her community is in the middle of a historical moment as they break away from a "No Place for Hate" controversy.
Just one week ago, she took the podium moments before the town dissolved its "No Place for Hate" committee and severed ties with the program's sponsor, the Anti-Defamation League, for the ADL stance on the mass deaths of Armenians from 1915-1923. Many historians agree it was a campaign of extermination waged against ethnic Armenians by the Ottoman government. As many as 1.5 million Armenians died.
The attention on the ADL's stance was first sparked from a letter published in the TAB & Press. And now, ever since Watertown took a stand and claimed independence from the organization, many other communities are looking to follow.
Over the past week, the ADL fired Regional Director Andrew Tarsey after he publicly acknowledged the Armenian Genocide. Then the ADL's national director, Abraham Foxman, issued a statement that the tragic events of more than 90 years ago were "tantamount to genocide."
Narini said her community is heading in the right direction.
"I'm very proud with what has been happening in Watertown," she said. "At a certain point, people have to say enough is enough."
As residents of the East End, Narini and her parents, along with brother, Shirvan, live among close to 8,000 other Armenians in town. After leaving her home in Istanbul, Turkey, her mother, Varteni, came to the United States to "escape racism" and focus energies on her art as a painter.
Just on her maternal side, Varteni said more than 200 people perished in the Armenian Genocide. Her grandparents where exiled and "lucky to survive," but their brothers were not so fortunate.
"[They died] only because they called themselves Armenians," she said. "What pains me is that we were silenced in Turkey. I came to this country to breathe."
Inside their Walnut Street home, photographs, books and artwork cover the walls and fill the shelves. Stirring a pot of strong, Armenian-style coffee, Varteni pours it into cups and waits for the last sip to read fortunes and predict people's futures from the grinds.
Tatoul said the future is in their hands now. He came to this country from Iran "in search of liberty."
"Here I am, in the strongest country in the world, a part of the world where we can do something about it," he said about taking a stand against the ADL. "I'm the energy that makes it move."
When the word "controversy" comes up, he says what's happening now shouldn't be classified as such.
"It's been part of our struggle … a dialogue going on for years," he said. "I'm now discovering why I'm here. You can actually feel it in this country … I can still feel it."
In January, Varteni said she felt like she lost a relative when Armenian journalist and activist Hrant Dink was assassinated. Dink, 52, was shot outside his office on a busy Istanbul street, simply because he spoke out about the freedom of expression regarding the Armenian Genocide.
Now Varteni feels the need to fight and seek justice for human rights in his honor.
"This is something that is touching our life chord," she said.
Narini said both tolerance and activism should continue in town. Regardless of the ADL coming out in apparent recognition of the genocide, the key is whether the ADL will support the Congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Foxman has come out with a statement saying that the legislation is a "counterproductive diversion" that may "put at risk the Turkish Jewish community and the important multilateral relationship between Turkey, Israel and the United States."
"It's not going to end here," said Narini. "The denial is very real. It's now."
Hitler's infamous invocation
Narini Badalian read the following infamous quote from Adolph Hitler during her presentation to Town Council on Aug. 14. Hitler was speaking to his generals on the eve of the invasion of Poland in 1939:
"I have issued the command — and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness — for the present only in the East — with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women and children of Polish derivation and language.
Only thus shall we gain the living space [Lebensraum] which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

In the wake of Jammu terror strike, MoD clears Rs 160 bn rifle procurement
Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addresses a press conference at Tiger Division Satwari in Jammu on Feb 12. PTI Photo
Two days after yet another deadly terrorist strike in Jammu claimed six Indian lives, the government restarted a faltering procurement aimed at strengthening the firepower of the frontline infantry soldier, who bears the brunt of counter-insurgency operations and deployment along the Pakistan and China borders.

On Tuesday, the ministry's apex Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, cleared the capital purchase of assault rifles, sniper rifles and light machine guns worth about Rs 159.35 billion ($2.5 billion).
"In the last one month, to equip the soldiers on the border with modern and more effective equipment, the DAC has fast-tracked procurement of the three main personal weapons, i.e., rifles, carbines and light machine guns", a defence ministry release stated.
The "Fast Track Process" of the Defence Procurement Policy of 2016 (DPP-2016), is directed at concluding an acquisition within a year.
Over the preceding decade, the defence ministry has gone through several long-running acquisition processes for small arms – which include assault rifles, carbines and light machine guns – but cancelled them all, most recently last year.

The core of the approvals accorded today relate to the infantry's basic weapon – the assault rifle. Approval was accorded for procuring 740,000 assault rifles for an estimated cost of Rs 122.80 billion ($1.91 billion).
The ministry stated the rifles will be procured under the category of "Buy and Make (Indian)". This involves buying a limited number of fully-built rifles from the chosen global vendor, who then transfers technology to India to build the bulk of the order in the public sector Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) and by private firms.
The DAC also approved procurement of 5,719 sniper rifles for long-range shooting by the army and the air force at a cost of Rs 9.82 billion ($153 million). Given the complexity of these high precision weapons, they will not be built in India; but procured fully-built under the "Buy Global" category of the DPP.
However, "the ammunition for these will be initially procured [from abroad] and subsequently manufactured in India", said the defence ministry release.
The DAC also cleared the purchase of an "essential quantity" of light machine guns for an estimated cost of Rs 18.19 crore ($283 million). This initial procurement is intended to meet the immediate "operational requirement of the troops deployed on the borders... [while a] concurrent proposal is being processed for the [remaining requirement] to be procured under the 'Buy and Make (Indian)' categorisation," said the ministry.
As Business Standard earlier reported (November 4, "Infantry to get foreign rifles, others to get 'made in India'"), the government is proceeding on two parallel acquisition tracks to procure small arms at affordable prices. Frontline combat soldiers will be armed with sophisticated, relatively expensive foreign-origin rifles, with reflex sights, to give them an edge on the battlefield. These will be heavier 7.62 millimetre (mm) rifles, designed to kill rather than merely injure enemy soldiers.
Meanwhile, non-frontline soldiers will get indigenous rifles. In procuring these, the army would choose between the INSAS-1C, developed by the Defence R&D Organisation (DRDO), and the OFB-developed Ghatak rifle. These are 5.56 mm rifles, lighter and less lethal than the infantry's 7.62 mm assault rifles. But, with an estimated cost of about Rs 50,000 apiece, these will be significantly cheaper.
"Since a state-of-the-art assault rifle will cost about Rs 200,000 each in the global market, let us issue these only to frontline infantry soldiers who confront the enemy armed only with their rifles," army chief, General Bipin Rawat had told Business Standard in November. "Let us provide a cheaper indigenous option to other soldiers, for whom the rifle is not a primary weapon," he said.
Besides green-lighting the acquisition of rifles and light machine guns, the DAC also approved the procurement of an Advanced Torpedo Decoy Systems (ATDS) for the Indian Navy. This system, named the "Mareech" has been developed indigenously by the DRDO and has successfully completed extensive trial evaluations.
"The 'Mareech' systems will be produced by Bharat Electronics Limited, Bengaluru at an estimated cost of Rs 8.50 billion", announced the defence ministry.

Almost everyone has some amount of credit card debt. Whether the amount is large or small, credit card debt is one of the easiest kinds of debt to accumulate. With no money coming out of a person's pocket upfront it can be an easy trap to fall into. However, once a person in the Tampa area is in debt it can be very difficult to get out.
One of the biggest traps people fall into is not having an understanding of how credit card debt works. Credit cards offer "free money" only for a limited time, then an interest rate kicks in at about 3.5 percent a month. Even when a person pays almost the entire outstanding amount before the due date arrives he or she is still responsible for the full amount of interest if there is still a remaining balance on the card on the due date.
There are several important steps to take to overcome credit card debt, including curbing one's spending and buying only what's necessary. A person should also pay his or cards off in order of interest charged with the highest being the primary focus. A person can also transfer the balance of one card to another in order to buy a little time in order to catch up.
When a person is unable to overcome his or her credit card debt by using these methods then he or she may need additional help, including the assistance of a credit card debt attorney. The right attorney in Tampa understands how to help a person, including filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy, if necessary. Anyone who is facing this kind of situation might want to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible.

Aviva Family Finances Report - Spotlight on 'Home Sweet Home'
Author Aira Torralba
It's a well-known heart-warming saying, and 'home, sweet home' is a good measure of the way we all like to feel about the properties we live in when everything's going to plan.
In our Aviva Family Finances Report 2015, we explored many aspects of home-sweet-home ownership – how people view their homes, what their plans are, and what they've done to protect their most valuable asset. Some of the responses we had were predictable, some were more surprising than we expected:
- while it's only 18% of private renters, around 30% of mortgagees describe themselves as being 'emotionally attached' to their homes;
- nearly a third (30%) of those homeowners with a mortgage saw their home as a financial investment;
- and just over a quarter (25%) of the mortgagees we spoke to were planning to pass that property on to their families.
However, we think it may be a generational change in focus that's affected one significant aspect of emotional attachment: the heart of the home.
At the heart of it all…
At one time, the kitchen was commonly thought of as the place where families gathered to share the good times and bad – the true heart of the 'home'. Nowadays, possibly due entertainment and media influences, it's the living room.
- Despite the popularity of open-plan living, 73% of families believe a living room is the heart of their home, compared with 15% who still think that way about their kitchens.
Renting vs. buying – still trying hard
Moving from rented accommodation to home-ownership is still proving to be hard for many, with 30% saying they couldn't afford the deposit or the fees, and another 23% saying it's the high cost of living that makes saving such a challenge.
Yet despite that view, the majority (55%) see 'saving' as the way forward, which is good news. What's thought-provoking perhaps, is that 11% rely on gifted money and a further 6% depend on an inheritance. And in London, 11% of potential homeowners are depending on inherited money to fund a first step onto the property ladder.
Better things to come
Attitudes are changing to home-ownership, as well as to what's most appreciated and what's most important in the home, but we would still like to see more people looking after their properties for the generations to come.
- Most likely improvements to a home – new kitchens (23%); new bathrooms (18%) and garden make-overs (14%);
- Least likely improvements to a home – conservatories (7%); loft conversions (6%) and woodburning stoves (2%).
Over half (55%) of the homeowners we spoke to have plans for improvements over the next five years, but – alarmingly, considering the conditions of most mortgages – only 82% of the families we spoke to held buildings insurance, and 69% insured their home contents.

South flicks have a reputation of being senseless action/romance fests built around a star. This is not entirely false. The vast array of talent and styles that the southern film industries have is many a times ignored, while focusing only on the pot-boiler remakes that Bollywood picks up. If one looks past the usual suspects, amazing films can be uncovered.
A few years ago, when you went to watch a Malayalam film, there were always some predictable yet dearly loved aspects to it. They portrayed a typical village scene which had interesting characters with numerous layers. The films mostly revolved around the main hero, who would save the day and the village from evil capitalists. Today, we have multiple urban heroes who live the fast life, bending tradition to their will. This change is so tumultuous that it has earned itself the name 'New Generation'. Although described in a limited manner, the term 'New Generation' means more than young directors and unknown actors. It's a whole new way of looking at the film-making process. Malayalam cinema is now a medium of telling the unusual stories without relying on the pre-1990's system of thought. Fresh faces, digital improvements, quirky dialogues, tight plots and a whole new definition of what cinema should entail is the latest trend. After a list of superstar films which flopped in theatre, these budgeted urban tales started a buzz. Exploiting the avenue of social media, these films managed to get their message across to the intended urban audiences.
Actors like Dulqar Salman, Nivin Pauly, Fahad Fazil have ditched the masculine 'lungi' wearing man and played bold unapologetic yet sensitive men. Films like Traffic, 22 Female Kottayam, Ohm Shanti Oshana, Neram , Bangalore Days have all managed to be successful in the box office and gain critical acclaim.
Western elements when used correctly in Indian contexts can indeed lead to brilliance. The accusation of plagiarism is always thrown at our industry, but it is much less pointed when the film turns out to be good one. A film that can ignite strong emotions and leave the audience in thought is the order of the day. With the many changes in our world view, there had to be a change in the way our movie characters walk and talk. This brings us to the perennial question of whether we make cinema or our cinema makes us? Is reality mirrored onto the silver screen or moulded with the hammer of films?

Millington is located along U.S. Highway 51, with easy access to Interstate 40, 240 and 55, in northern Shelby County, five miles from Memphis. Around 1878, a North Shelby County plantation owner offered to donate land for a town and to help build a railroad station on the newly established Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad line, which crossed his five-thousand acre tract of land. Part of his land was elevated and would offer higher ground for their homes, and settlers accepted his offer and agreed to name the town after the donors, Mr. and Mrs. George Millington. The communities of Millwood and Glencoe combined to from the newly established town of Millington.
The community continued to grow, along with other small settlements nearby. By the time the city incorporated in 1903, citizens of this small country town had developed a sense of civic pride. Soon Millington established water and light systems, bus service, a telephone company, a local newspaper, library and music room, scout groups and annual community celebrations.
Millington can still boast about providing the first school bus service for students in Shelby County, a wagonette, drawn by mules. Millington is also proud to claim the first accredited school in Shelby County (which includes Memphis).

SP3875 : Small pool at Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve, southeast of Coventry
taken 2 years ago, near to Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire, Great Britain
Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve
Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) consisting of 228 acres (92 ha) of pools, reedbeds, marsh and woodland. The pools alongside the river Avon occur as a result of a combination of subsidence of old underground colliery workings and later sand and gravel extraction, leaving pools in the disused gravel pits and settling pools.

Thank goodness for Bank Holiday weekends, and more importantly – HALF TERM! After a week that started terribly and left me feeling a little wobbly and emotional for the rest of the week, I'm so glad that I've got a week off work to catchup on sleep and relax a little. Luckily, my week did get progressively better and I've just got back from spending a lovely couple of days at home with Jess and the rest of the family. Sunshine, buckets of tea and the country air seem to have sorted me out. Anyway, here's what I did manage to get up to this week….
After a 20 minute cycle on the Watt bike I spent an hour doing different strength exercises and stretching. Today, I was absolutely not feeling it and felt completely uninspired for the whole session. It's unusual that I leave the gym feeling deflated, but today I went home feeling really rubbish. This feeling combined with work stress, lack of sleep and my MA dissertation led to me having the mother of all meltdowns before I went to bed. My poor boyfriend didn't know what had hit him as I sobbed and spluttered the night away – he did a very good job at making me feeling better though, plying me with tea and putting on some of my yoga music. Thanks Mark!
I didn't manage to get to the pool in the morning as I woke up feeling pretty groggy from the night before. Even though I was woken up by my boyfriend's 4,30am alarm (he was flying to Scotland) the extra time in bed definitely did me good. I was meant to be teaching yoga in the evening but had to cancel the class in favour of marking the world's most enormous pile of books. I hate cancelling things, but luckily I was able to reschedule class for a little later in the week when I knew things would be more relaxed. Once the marking was done, I felt like a massive weight had been taken off my shoulders and the rest of the week went much more smoothly as a result.
By Wednesday morning I felt much better and got up for a 30 minute run in the morning – with no set route I just ran around my new area, nosing at all the massive houses and picking out the ones I'd like to live in when I win the Euromillions
After work I headed to the gym where I did a circuit session with kettle bell swings and squats followed by 35 mins on the Watt bike. Earlier in the day, I'd heard the swim session with Clapham Chasers was cancelled again, but only realised too late they'd managed to change venues – I was a bit gutted that I'd missed it again, but am still determined to go regularly once the pool is fixed.
I squeezed in a 30 minute swim before work and then taught a yoga class in the evening.
Gin and tonic and a take away curry – does that count?
I'm a massive fan of the Grid classes at Virgin Active – they're only 30 minutes but are an absolute killer. I did Grid Lean in the morning, which involves an 8 station circuit repeated three times. Each station lasts 20 seconds, which I like as by the time you're thinking of giving up you're moving on to the next station. This class included treadmill sprints, bike sprints, sit ups, burpees, press ups, split jumps, weighted squats and the plank. It left me a bit of a sweaty mess, but not so exhausted that I couldn't get on the bike. I ended up cycling for 50 minutes which I was really pleased with, as I usually find the bike immensely boring and find any excuse to get off as soon as possible. After the gym I hopped on the train back to East Sussex to see some of my family – I realised I hadn't been home since Christmas which is ridiculous considering it really isn't far to travel.
My dad had spent the week trying to coerce me into running the Rye 10 with him, a 10 mile race not far from where my family home. However, after waking up ridiculously early (why won't my body let me lie in?!) I felt so tired and running a hilly 10 miles was not how I fancied spending my Sunday morning. Instead, I did a 30 minute yoga session in the garden and took the dog on a walk before Jess arrived.
In the afternoon Jess, my dad and I walked around Bewl Water, a beautiful reservoir near our house. It was really warm and it was nice to be spending the day outside together. The highlight of the day was spending time with my gorgeous niece and nephew- they are so funny and always cheer me up.
Having looked back at what I've done this week I've realised that I've completely failed at sticking to my training plan – oops! I'm finding it a real struggle to get a balance between running, cycling and swimming, especially as I have other training I like to do too. Triathlon training requires more discipline than I imagined, as without planning your week and sticking to it, the sessions just seem to slip away. The other problem is, I find it really tiring and pretty much every day another part of my body aches. I guess when you start any new kind of sport it takes a while to work out what works for you, so I'll be spending half term trying to find my feet a little more.
Luckily, I have finally got my bike back so can hopefully get back on the roads this week (sorry Jess, I promise to be careful!) I'm still terrified of cycling the roads in London, especially on my wobbly bike, so I'll probably head to Richmond Park again. In a couple of weeks Mark and I are going cycling in the New Forest so I'm going to get some thicker tyres with more tread put on my bike so that I cycle on trails. Hopefully this means I'll be able to cycle along the Thames Path as well, building my confidence before I switch back to the road bike tyres.

To investigate the course of CNPIC in young men treated with general and local ozone therapy.
306 patients underwent standard treatment concurrently with local and systemic ozone therapy. Clinical-laboratory and instrumental parameters were evaluated before and after treatment. In addition, the blood flow of the prostate, prostatic urethra and skin at the projection point of the prostate was studied.
Standard treatment of CNPIC with the concurrent use of general and local ozone therapy resulted in a reduction of pain intensity and severity of dysuria, improvement of the sexual function and quality of life of men. There was an increase in blood flow in the arteries and veins of the prostate, a decrease in the prostate size and volume. The study findings showed an almost twofold decrease of the mean values of the CNPIC clinical index during treatment. In the prostate secretion, the leukocyte count decreased from 29.29+/-0.67 to 4.75+/-0.15. A statistically significant (p<0.001) decrease in all sizes of the prostate was observed: height (upper) from 40.99+/-0.22 to 39.13+/-0.21 mm, width (transverse dimension) from 41.94+/-0.21 to 39.94+/-0.22 mm, and thickness (anteroposterior size) from 30.52+/-0.20 to 29.15+/-0.18 mm. Prostate volume also decreased from 27.78+/-0.42 to 24.10+/-0.36 cm (p<0.001).
chronic nonbacterial prostatitis; drug therapy; ozone therapy
Skin can be infected by many types of microorganisms, most commonly by gram‑positive strains of Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. Treatment of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections, particularly that of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a challenge in clinical practice. Ozone therapy has proven to be one of the strongest antiseptics against the majority of microorganisms involved in skin infections. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the microbicidal effects of topical ozone therapy on S. aureus and MRSA, and determine the clinical efficacy of ozone therapy on patients with MRSA skin infection. Microbicidal effects of ozonated oil and ozonated water were determined by plating and Kirby Bauer methods. Clinical efficacy and safety of topical ozone were evaluated in two cases with skin MRSA infection. The killing rates of ozonated oil for S. aureus and MRSA were greater when compared with the control oil group. Almost 100% of S. aureus were eliminated by ozonated oil following 5 min. Almost 100% MRSA were eliminated by ozonated oil following 15 min. In addition, 100% S. aureus and 100% MRSA were eliminated by ozonated water in 1 min. The inhibition zone diameters of ozonated oil for S. aureus and MRSA were 17 and 13 mm, respectively, which were significantly larger than the control group. Both cases of skin MRSA infection were completely healed with ozone therapy. In conclusion, ozone therapy is a potential treatment for S. aureus and MRSA skin infection as it has great efficacy, few side effects and low‑costs.
Recent studies showed that the circulating stress hormones, epinephrine and corticosterone/cortisol, are involved in mediating ozone-induced pulmonary effects through the activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axes. Hence, we examined the role of adrenergic and glucocorticoid receptor inhibition in ozone-induced pulmonary injury and inflammation. Male 12-week old Wistar-Kyoto rats were pretreated daily for 7days with propranolol (PROP; a non-selective β adrenergic receptor [AR] antagonist, 10mg/kg, i.p.), mifepristone (MIFE; a glucocorticoid receptor [GR] antagonist, 30mg/kg, s.c.), both drugs (PROP+MIFE), or vehicle controls, and then exposed to air or ozone (0.8ppm), 4h/d for 1 or 2 consecutive days while continuing drug treatment. Ozone exposure alone led to increased peak expiratory flow rates and enhanced pause (Penh); with greater increases by day 2. Receptors blockade minimally affected ventilation in either air- or ozone-exposed rats. Ozone exposure alone was also associated with marked increases in pulmonary vascular leakage, macrophage activation, neutrophilic inflammation and lymphopenia. Notably, PROP, MIFE and PROP+MIFE pretreatments significantly reduced ozone-induced pulmonary vascular leakage; whereas PROP or PROP+MIFE reduced neutrophilic inflammation. PROP also reduced ozone-induced increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) IL-6 and TNF-α proteins and/or lung Il6 and Tnfα mRNA. MIFE and PROP+MIFE pretreatments reduced ozone-induced increases in BALF N-acetyl glucosaminidase activity, and lymphopenia. We conclude that stress hormones released after ozone exposure modulate pulmonary injury and inflammatory effects through AR and GR in a receptor-specific manner. Individuals with pulmonary diseases receiving AR and GR-related therapy might experience changed sensitivity to air pollution.

Medical articles and reports on what's going on in the healthcare environment are difficult for most people to understand. There are supposed to be news sources that explain these things to people, but they usually only tell people what they want them to know.
That undermining mentality has created a bad relationship between healthcare providers and their patients. There are also too many stories about healthcare companies cutting people's healthcare or not giving people quality medical care they need. Again, this is caused by deliberate reports that only want people to know specific things and specific times.
Luckily, there are companies trying to improve patient-provider relationships for positive reasons. Most of the time companies say they care about their patients; they're just trying to attract new patients. InnovaCare is not one of those companies. They always put their patients first and providing quality medical care is their number one priority. InnovaCare, Inc. operates two Medicare Advantage plans: MMM Healthcare, LLC and PMC Medicare Choice, LLC – in addition to a medical service organization.
In order to provide the best quality medical care, InnovaCare Health only hires professions who are dedicated to bettering their patients' quality of life. Among those professions is Dr. Richard A. Shinto, a 20-plus-year veteran who specializes in clinical studies and operational healthcare.
Since joining InnovaCare Health, he's excelled at leading many of the enterprise's subsidiaries. Dr. Shinto is no novice when it comes to leading healthcare companies. Over his 20-year career, he's headed several prestigious healthcare institutions. It's a miracle that InnovaCare landed him as their new CEO and President. He was made CEO and President of the entire company after leading InnovaCare Health Plans to the number one spot as Puerto Rico's top managed care provider.
The other side of InnovaCare's success comes from Penelope Kokkinides, its current Chief Administrative Officer. She worked for InnovaCare years ago but left to pursue other career options. During her time away, she worked for a number of companies, where she improved efficiency and infrastructure. Click Here for more information.
Like Dr. Shinto, Kokkinides also has over 20 years experience in the medical field; she specializes in working with government programs. She's also adept at developing clinical programs and overseeing healthcare processes.
Where she differs from Dr. Shinto is her primary focus: she's more focused on the ins and outs of business and programs. All of her university degrees gives her an advantage over practicing physicians.

The Aguda Gives Micro-Grants to LGBT Activities
The Israeli National LGBT Task Force sets up an economic encouragement fund to encourage development and social entrepreneurship of community activities
Israel's LGBT community provides an extensive number of community and social activities: parties and concerts, evening lectures and board games meetings, introductions and support meetings. Many of these activities are the private initiative of community members who want to create additional platforms for social activities.
Many of these activities are initiated by private entrepreneurs who need to raise private funds to bring their plans to fruition. This is why the Aguda, the Israeli National LGBT Task Force, decided to set up an economic encouragement fund to encourage development and social entrepreneurship community activities that will distribute grants to groups, organizations and individuals that promote community activities and give thousands of NIS a year in order to promote the visibility of LGBT people across Israel, to provide a response to the various needs of the community in different regions of the country and to strengthen the community all across Israel.
"There are lots of volunteers across the country who want to give of themselves and their time, but they lack the financial resources to maintain activities," says Oded Frid, Executive Director of the Aguda,. "When I visited various regions in Israel I heard that sometimes the only difference between having a community meeting and giving up on it is the cost of renting a room for the activity in the local community center, or the amount needed to print flyers and posters to advertise the event. We want to help all those who promote community activities, and we hope that the micro-grants we give away will encourage widespread community activities."
Who can apply for a grant?
"Any organization, group or individual wishing to hold social activities for the community is welcome to apply."
What is the process of the application?
"The application process is easy, simple and convenient. The first stage is an on-line questionnaire on the Aguda's website, that includes the details of the applicant, the proposed activity and the budget requested. The announcement of the grant acceptance or rejection will be made at the latest 45 days after submission of the application."
How do you decide who gets the grant?
"The Aguda will form a committee, to be convened every month, and it will examine the applications submitted in the past month. The criteria for receiving the grant will be the same for all requests and the committee will work in full transparency. The Fund will give preference to activities taking place in a geographic, cultural or economic periphery, and to continuous activities."
What is the grant amount that can be obtained?
"The first phase will fund grants in the amount of up to NIS 500 per project, and there is a limit of three months in a row for supporting a project."
Where does the fund come from?
"Grants Fund was established with the help of the US organization A Wider Bridge. The Aguda aims to increase the amount of the grants, and we will be happy to receive requests from individuals and businesses who agree to contribute to the community to increase the Fund".
"The success of other organizations, new groups and local private activities is the success of all of us as a community, and our job is to encourage and help as much as we can," concludes Frid. "We see encouraging community activity as an integral part of our job as an organization representing the community."

Ghidotti Communications was hired to unveil the new 75-store shopping mecca through media relations, influencer marketing and special events. The opening of the Outlets of Little Rock was a four-day, jam-packed weekend that brought thousands out to the new shopping center, including almost every media outlet in the state.
We planned and executed a shopping night that benefited 20 local charities, a red-ribbon cutting and news conference event with the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce, a VIP breakfast event and a fashion show featuring celebrity stylist and Emmy award-winning television personality Carson Kressley. Needless to say, we needed some extra-long naps after that weekend! The great news? Retailers expressed endless excitement for the weekend since many of them exceeded their sales goals, and shoppers were over-the-top thrilled that outlet shopping was finally nearby.

The Many Health Benefits of Melons
Posted by Andrea Lewis on
Summer's almost here, and there are few foods more cooling and refreshing than a melon. Melons come in many shapes, sizes and varieties, but they are all nutritious and tasty. The king of melons appears to be the most popular: Watermelon. Below I have listed the many benefits of watermelon, but we'll discuss the health benefits of another melon as well.
Watermelon Health Benefits
- Improves heart health
- Fights inflammation
- May protect the prostate gland
- Helps prevent dehydration
- Lowers body temperature
There has been inconsistent research studies regarding lycopene's affect on age-related eye disease, cataracts and asthma. However, "Early research shows that taking lycopene can slow the progression of prostate enlargement [(benign prostatic hypertrophy)] and can improve symptoms in people with this condition."1 According to the National Watermelon Promotion Board, a 2-cup serving of watermelon contains 15 to 20 mg of lycopene. But one can maximize their lycopene intake by letting their watermelon fully ripen before eating.
Watermelon also contains the amino acids citrulline and arginine. Research studies have shown that citrulline and arginine supplements derived from watermelon extract "lead to significant improvements in blood pressure and cardiac stress in obese study participants."2 Citrulline is also believed to improve protein synthesis (muscle building), reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, increase nitric oxide and enhance immunity. Arginine is famous for its blood-vessel-dilating effects "which can be effective in improving a number of heart-related conditions. High blood pressure, chest pain and coronary heart disease have been treated with L-arginine, according to MedlinePlus. L-arginine is also used to treat male infertility and erectile dysfunction. Benefits of taking L-arginine for healthy people include its potential to improve circulation and stimulate the release of growth hormone."3
Watermelons, regardless of variety (there are upwards of 300), earned their name by being composed mostly of water – approximately 92%. Obviously, this makes watermelons very hydrating. And, on a hot day, all that H2O helps the body cool off and stay cool, especially if you refrigerate your fruit before eating it.
Other melons share many of the same diverse nutrients and health benefits. Cantaloupes, like watermelons, fight inflammation and the heart disease that may result, with their antioxidant content. Other cantaloupe benefits include...
Cantaloupe Health Benefits
- Huge amounts of Vitamin C
- Decreases risk of metabolic syndrome
- Helps to protect vision
A one cup serving of Cantaloupes contains 78% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin C. It also contains impressive amounts of vitamin A / beta-carotene (30% of RDA) and potassium (12% of RDA), all of which are antioxidants. Antioxidants fight inflammation by neutralizing the free radicals that cause oxidative stress.
Recent studies have also discovered that cantaloupes lower the risk of metabolic syndrome, which is a cluster of conditions that increase one's risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. In one study, with "hundreds of women living and teaching in Tehran, Iran, the lowest risk of metabolic syndrome was found to occur in women who ate the greatest amount of [fruits]"4, including cantaloupe. High intake of fruit meant 12 ounces of all five fruits used in the study.
Cantaloupes contains both beta-carotene and alpha-carotene, but also their derivative nutrients: lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, as well as luteolin. All of these nutrients have been shown in multiple studies to not only act as antioxidants, but protect one's vision from ailments like macular degeneration and other age-related eye diseases.
Other melons?
There are hundreds of other melons out there, but there are no real studies and nutritional data on most of them. Watermelon and cantaloupes are the best documented melons for health. But you should seek out some of the less famous varieties and give them a try. As you can see, from watermelon and cantaloupes, melons tend to share certain nutritional attributes yet, they also contain nutrients that the others do not. For example, the rind of the watermelon is edible. This is not the case with cantaloupes. In addition, the rind contains more of the amino acid citrulline than the pink flesh of the watermelon. The rind is also rich in chlorophyll, another healthful nutrient that can neutralize body odor. Not kidding.
There's just one caveat when it comes to eating melons, according to Dr. Wayne Pickering, "Eat melon alone or leave it alone because it will make your stomach groan. So ideally, no food 30 minutes before or after eating melons."2 Eating melons with other foods has resulted in severe stomach discomfort for me, on more than one occasion, but your experiences may differ.

After months of speculation, President Adama Barrow has announced the name of the country's Minister of Defense, Adama Barrow, a former real estate developer.
President Barrow during an interview with WADR's Sheriff Bojang Jr. said he is the West African nation's Minister of Defense, after months of urging him to appoint one.
It apparently seems to be a tradition that Gambian presidents also become the country's defense minister.
The country's first post-colonial president, Sir Dawda Jawara and ex-authoritarian ruler, Yahya Jammeh all held the position of Minister of Defense during their reign.
Jawara ruled for three decades and Jammeh for two. Barrow is expected to serve less than five years and resign for elections to be held.
Jammeh suffered a shocking defeat in the hands of Barrow last winter. Jammeh was forced to flee to Equatorial Guinea after nearly slipping the country into civil war.
Gambia is facing security challenges with Jammeh's loyalists in the army joining forces with those that have deserted plotting to destabilize the small nation.
Barrow has promised to reform the security forces, pledging to increase professionalism and separate them from politics.
Gambia arrested four soldiers while several other soldiers, including the ringleader of a mutiny, have escaped and fled into hiding.
More than two dozen soldiers loyal to Jammeh are being detained, most of them for committing human rights abuses and crimes against the state.
There are reported threats to Barrow's life but he has brushed them aside and restated his confidence in the military and their loyalty to him as their Commander-In-Chief.

HD10 - Shaken Baby Syndrome and Abusive Head Trauma
Executive Summary:
*This document was replaced in its entirety on June 5, 2015 by the Joint Commission on Health Care.
House Joint Resolution 632 (HJR632) introduced by Delegate Glenn Oder, was passed during the 2011 Session of the General Assembly. The resolution directed the Joint Commission on Health Care (JCHC) to "study the costs of Shaken Baby Syndrome and abusive head trauma in Virginia and identify best practices in reducing the incidence" of this type of intentional injury to children.
Shaken baby syndrome/abusive head trauma is defined by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome as "a term to describe the constellation of signs and symptoms resulting from violent shaking or shaking and impacting of the head of an infant or small child." Shaken baby syndrome (SBS) usually occurs in children under the age of two, but has been seen in children up to the age of five. Shaking typically happens when an angry parent or caregiver shakes a child to punish or quiet him/her during a period of inconsolable crying. The perpetrators are most often males and often are not the victim's father.
The majority of infants who survive severe shaking will have some form of neurological or intellectual disability; many will require lifelong medical care. Studies have shown that a number of victims of less severe shaking develop serious behavioral problems and may be placed in the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
JCHC staff worked primarily with the Virginia Department of Health, Virginia Department of Social Services, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and the Department of Medicaid Assistance Services in collecting statewide data on the incidence and costs of SBS to the Commonwealth. Mary Kay Goldschmidt, a graduate student at the University of Virginia, completed a complementary review that involved reviewing case studies and developing estimates of the costs associated with caring for specific SBS victims. Incidence calculations vary between agencies as well as individual institutions and there is no universally accepted method or terminology used in calculating incidence. As such, our study findings support the research of others that the incidence of SBS is under-reported. Additionally, the costs to the Commonwealth of caring for survivors of SBS are substantial and under-reported. As part of Ms. Goldschmidt's research, she reviewed the costs involved in assisting one SBS survivor who lived for two and a half years and found the actual cost to the Commonwealth was almost $240,000.
There are a number of established prevention programs, most of which seek to teach new parents how to handle their frustration when their infant cries for long periods of time. These prevention programs typically have a hospital-based component which includes educational activities such as discussions with new parents, pamphlets, and videos describing the consequences of SBS and alternative ways to deal with frustration. While the hospital-based form of prevention is vital, additional prevention activities designed to reach men who are not the children's fathers and informal caregivers are needed also.
As a result of the study findings, the JCHC approved two policy options:
• Request by letter of the chairman that the Departments of Health, Social Services, Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, Rehabilitative Services, and Education collaborate with other public and private sector stakeholders to identify current best practices, state-wide programs, surveillance and data, initiatives and interventions dedicated to addressing infant mortality in Virginia, including those efforts dedicated with specific attention to Shaken Baby Syndrome as a cause of infant mortality. The Virginia Department of Health, by July 1, 2013 and in collaboration with other agencies and stakeholders, shall submit a report to the Joint Commission on Health Care and the Virginia Disability Commission detailing these efforts with recommendations for improving public awareness and professional intervention and collaborative practices, and future program and policy development, supported by appropriate evaluation and outcome measures.
• Introduce a joint resolution to establish the third week of April as Shaken Baby Awareness Week in Virginia. The resolution would be in memory of Jared Nicolas Patton and the many other victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome in Virginia.

An "Issue" means "any behaviour that does not meet reasonable expectations, including in design and usability".
An Issue does not mean "error in the use of OpenFOAM".
This site does not provide free support for the use of OpenFOAM.
Reports that indicate a significant possibility of user error will be closed or deleted.
Closed reports cannot be reopened.
Reporting an IssueExisting/previous issues can be freely viewed on this site without registration.
To report an issue, you must register here. The process is quick and secure.

- A clear description of the problem to help others who encounter a similar issue in the future.
- Evidence that user error is not the cause of the issue.
- A clear set of instructions that reproduces the issue, including key files, if required.
- (Optionally) A patch, suggestion or idea to resolve the issue.
FeedbackVery often we request feedback and testing from a user to confirm certain points.
Ultimately, we would like confirmation that an issue is resolved.
Please provide the feedback until the issue is resolved, rather than walking away as soon as your problem is fixed.

SU's Stock Researches Kierkegaard in CopenhagenSALISBURY, MD---Søren Kierkegaard is widely regarded as the first existentialist philosopher … but how influential was the theatre on the delivery of his philosophy?
Very, according to Dr. Timothy Stock of Salisbury University's Philosophy Department.
"He was obsessed with the theatre," said Stock, who recently spent a month researching the philospher at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Center at the University of Copenhagen. "No one has taken his thoughts on the craft of acting and performing and used these as the central way of interpreting his philosophy as a whole."
Though he concedes that some may disagree, he believes Kierkegaard saw theatric philosophical performance as a way to involve and inform the public.
"He thought that's what philosophers should be doing — dramatically addressing the day's issues," said Stock, likening the philosopher to an early version of Stephen Colbert.
.: Related Sites :.
"I was working with material that, in a lot of ways, hasn't seen the light of day," he said, noting much of it, written in pre-20th-century Danish, had not been translated into English.
While in Denmark, Stock conducted research outside the center, visiting the Court Theatre Museum and historic Royal Theatre to research the 19th-century theatre practices that would have been in effect during Kierkegaard's lifetime. The experience was eye-opening.
"The actors who are mentioned in Kierkegaard's notebook, I saw pictures of them and learned about their roles in the threatre," he said.
He also met with officials and philanthropists to learn about the country's national arts funding model and worked with theatre students at a local school. In addition, Stock led project seminars with approximatly 25 other researchers and gave a public presentation on "The Theatre and the Dead: On the Work of Recollection Between Aesthetics and Religion."
"The two main influences in Denmark at that time were the church and the theatre, and everyone belonged to both of them," he said.
This was Stock's second experience at the center. His first came in 2012, when he presented a paper there at a symposium that drew 50-60 Kierkegaard scholars from around the world.
Following his presentation, Dr. Jon Stewart, associate professor at the center, invited him to submit articles for the organizaton's Kierkegaard Research series. Stock plans to use those articles — the most recent one slated for publication in 2015 — as the basis for a book on Kierkegaard and the theatre.
He first became interested in Kierkegaard while reading his works during his first philosophy class some 18 years ago.
