- Plenary Speakers
- Insight into RW
We face considerable challenges when it comes to ensuring that the most robust science is used to deliver justice, and that access to legal protections is made available to the greatest number of people. Technological innovation is enabling ever greater insights and capabilities, and is creating opportunities to obtain accurate intelligence and evidence more rapidly. However, the science applied within justice systems operates at a complex intersection of law, government, and community - creating a dynamic and interconnected environment with diverse and sometimes competing interests.
COVID-19 threatens to become one of the most difficult tests humanity has faced in modern history. As the pandemic has spread, it has taken lives, stirred anxiety and political drama, overwhelmed health systems, and triggered potentially lasting geopolitical change.
E-health involves a broad group of activities that use electronic means to deliver health-related information, resources and services: it is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health. E-health encompasses a range of standards, tools and activities that use electronic means to deliver information, resources and services in relation to health and social care. At the heart of e-health is a vision of improving the quality of health information, strengthening national health systems and ensuring accessible, high-quality health care for all.
Why is e-health important? Member states in Europe are under increasing pressure to ensure that national health systems meet the demand for the delivery of high quality, readily available services in spite of zero-growth, or decreasing health budgets. Recent advances in mobile technologies, improvements in broadband coverage and the growing acceptance of tele-health and mobile health (m-health) solutions are providing new and attractive options for delivering health care. As a result, many governments are investing in e-health as a means of reforming health systems and for ensuring equitable and affordable access to health care.
The ultimate goal of Precision Medicine, also referred to as Personalised Medicine, is to enable the use of information about a patient's genes and environment. Physicians and scientists can utilise this data in order to identify or predict diseases, delay or prevent the onset of disease, and develop effective treatment more accurately. This could be aided by sciences like genomics, developing technology to better parse massive data sets, and by improving our understanding of the relationship between differences in DNA and basic biological mechanisms. However, Precision Medicine faces challenges related to the healthcare workforce, costs, equal access to care, and data privacy.
Everyone must be empowered to master artificial intelligence.
Technology innovation in the realm of robotics and artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming education, and updating the skills required to succeed in workplaces and classrooms. Building future-ready education systems requires curricula fit for the 21st century, and the consistent delivery of freely-available education for everyone.

Sam Branson has given his followers a glimpse at the devastation caused to the British Virgin Islands when Hurricane Irma struck at the beginning of September. The 32-year-old, who travelled out to provide supplies and aid to those affected by the natural disaster, has filmed a documentary showing the community as they start to rebuild their lives.
Sharing a teaser for the 20-minute film on Instagram, Sam wrote: "After a very surreal and challenging few weeks, I have finally managed to take my phone footage from the #BVI and turn it into a short film. Am sad to show the extent of the devastation caused but proud to be able to show the community spirit and hope of the people in the face of such adversity.

Sam travelled out to Puerto Rico and on to the British Virgin Islands in September, and revealed he was missing his daughter's first day of school in order to complete his charity mission. His father Sir Richard Branson's home on Necker Island was "completely and utterly devastated" by the storm, with the entrepreneur and his staff forced to seek shelter in a concrete wine shelter when the hurricane struck.
Sam has created a video showing the aftermath of the hurricane
Speaking via satellite phone for a blog post on the Virgin website after the hurricane, Sir Richard said: "It is a traumatic time here in the British Virgin Islands. I have never seen anything like this hurricane. All of the team who stayed on Necker and Moskito during the hurricane are safe and well.
"We took shelter from the strongest hurricane ever inside the concrete cellar on Necker and very, very fortunately it held firm. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the disaster elsewhere in the BVI, Caribbean and beyond."

'Invisible Women in History and Global Studies: Reflections from an Archival Research Project' Globalizations, 14(2) 2016, DOI: 10.1080/14747731.2016.1158905
At the invitation of our Advisory Board, Dr. Meenal Shrivastava of Athabasca University offers H-Nationalism the following summary of her recent article from Globalizations, which questions the continuing invisibility of the significant scale of the involvement of women in historical movements/moments.
Brief summary of the article
Globally, `women' has been either a marginal topic, or a separate subject of history writing. Although, history of women as a field of enquiry arose in the 1960s producing some significant correctives to traditional history writing that had obscured the role of women in social and political change, this did not lead to any significant inclusion of women in mainstream history writing, even less so in accounting for the invisible women of colour in 'Clio's Empire'.
In the 1980s, Subaltern Studies exposed the breach between popular and national histories by pointing to the construction of history as a process that is driven by the social and political elite of the time. From a research model for studying the colonial experience of South Asia, Subaltern Studies has provided a method of vigorous post-colonial critique, significantly enriching the texture and interpretation of historical research. This approach revolutionized Indian historiography in particular by challenging nationalistic frames and expanding the subject matter of history beyond the machinations of dynasties, leaders and rulers, to autonomous popular movements defining 'a history from below'. Subaltern historians searched for the roots of the profoundly ambiguous and contradictory patterns of continuities and change in the Indian subcontinent by expanding the scope of history through the inclusion of the role of trade unions, tribal revolts, peasant groups, and a nascent capitalist bourgeoisie.
Aside from these groups, however, there was another significant demographic which led to the irreversible entry of the masses into active political life: the multitude of South Asian women. Ordinary women's lives were not only being transformed by the national movement within and outside the domestic spheres, but women themselves were contributing to the eventual emergence of the world's largest mass movement. The rise and evolution of subaltern studies and feminist analysis of history notwithstanding, data on women's participation in human history, in South Asia and elsewhere, remains sketchy. This is particularly vexing in the context of the fact that in the first year of the Salt Satyagraha alone (1930-31), of the 80, 000 political prisoners, 17,000 were women.
Despite this unprecedented level of political participation by women, even after nearly six decades of political independence, the nature and scale of ordinary women's participation remains invisible within the Nationalist traditions of South Asian historiography. More surprisingly, this substantial scale of women's involvement finds little acknowledgement in the Indian `subaltern' traditions, or even the 'global' feminist narratives. The context of the new patriarchy that emerged in post-independence India saw women excluded from political power, providing the impetus to bring back the women's question in subaltern studies. Nevertheless, despite a huge uptake in the critiques of women in the subaltern project, these works remained uninterested in women nationalists. Hence we know little about the ordinary women political activists whose lives were fundamentally transformed by their political involvement and who transformed the very nature of the independence movement in South Asia.
Using the findings of a research project on the anti-colonial movement in British India, this article relates a personal journey of discovery underscoring the significance of individual narratives and archival resources. Both the subaltern studies and the feminist traditions have long recognized the importance of personal narratives, family histories, and oral histories contributing to a fuller understanding of the history of popular movements. The paper contends, however, that these inclusive theoretical and methodological approaches have had limited application in contemporary historiography, in South Asia and elsewhere. The paper therefore argues for gender mainstreaming across various historiographical approaches – not only those on the right and left of the political spectrum but also in the 'global' feminist narratives.
The invisibility of ordinary women of colour in the "global" history of the modern feminist movement is particularly glaring. Mainstream accounts of feminism consider its beginnings in the women's suffrage movements in the western world in the 19th and 20th Centuries, spreading to the post-colonial world only after the 1960s. Clearly the smooth edges of mainstream historical narratives, even feminist ones, are ruffled by allowing spaces for the stories of erased women from different parts of the world. The need for this ruffling is evident when we consider the fact that the 1928 lowering of the voting age of British women to give them equal suffrage with men in the UK coincided with the repression of civil liberties in British India during the same period.
The appointment of the Simon Commission for constitutional reform in India without any Indian representation, and its arrival in India in 1928, led to nationwide protests, which the British authorities tried to curb through extreme police brutality and the suspension of civil liberties. The political stalemate on the issue of representation and police brutality led to Gandhi's call for nationwide Civil Disobedience in 1930. Gandhi not only led one of the largest non-violent mass movements in the world, but also opened the doors for an unprecedented number of ordinary South Asian women to join the freedom movement, which included a 12 year old girl, my grandmother, Prakashwati Sinha, aka as Parvati, or Shanti Devi. The need for the historical authentication of her personal diary and published autobiography led to my archival quest, a narrative memoir (working title: Amma's Daughters, in Press), and the conference papers on which this article is based.
What emerged from the multi-archival research in London, New Delhi, and Patna, challenged my assumptions about the nature and scale of women's involvement in the national movement in South Asia. I was surprised to learn that my grandmother was not among a handful of women political activists, but one among the many hundreds of thousands of women without a famous last name who made up the cadre of the freedom movement in South Asia. Their stories are languishing in personal diaries, private letters, photographic chronicles, oral traditions, and other records that are yet to be fully utilized as historical material.
Wives, daughters, and nieces of famous political activists who found themselves in the midst of social-political upheaval in South Asia, were often thrust into leadership roles during the most restive periods of political mobilization. The courageous actions of this handful of women are rightfully celebrated in historical texts, particularly those written in the Nationalist tradition. As shown in this article, however, the stories of these elite women are not truly representative of the experience of the majority of women political activists of the time. In fact, the dominance of the historical accounts of elite women has acted like a foil hiding the very different lived experience of masses of women who participated in the freedom movement. This historical oversight distorts the true nature and scale of women's contributions to and involvement in the largest non-violent political movement in the world.
Where Were the Women and Why does it Matter?
Long before Mahatma Gandhi led a sub-continent wide movement against the colonial policies of the British, ordinary women were supporting families of nationalists who were in prisons, or in hiding from the police. Without any formal integration of women in political institutions, these ordinary women had been involved in unrecognized acts of political defiance in various periods of the national movement, proving the suspicion of the British that the zenanas were nurturing dangerous political notions. Nevertheless, while significant scholarship exits on the historical context in which the identity of the Indian woman emerged and evolved neither the scale of women's involvement, nor the variegated nature of their historical experience finds much acknowledgement in mainstream Indian historiography.
This article thus raises several questions: Despite the high proportion of women's political participation in most regions of South Asia, as well as robust scholarship on 'women's history' and the politics of feminism in colonial India, why is the role of women so understated in the mainstream historiography of the anti-colonial movement? What were the social and political mechanisms enabling the erasure of the masses of women from the stories of the anti-colonial movement in South Asia? What role have these patterns played in the persistence of gender inequality in the region? What do historical patterns tell us about contemporary policy debates, designs, and implementation issues?
Given their broad nature, these questions are not necessarily answered in this article. However, highlighting these particular aspects of the erasure of women from history could not only contribute to broadening our historical horizons, but it can also shed light on the persistence of unequal and unjust patterns in contemporary society. Undoubtedly, the inadequately challenged binaries of political/personal, political activist/passive victim, and public/private spaces, have contributed to the erasure of ordinary women and their personal activism from public historical accounts. As the article contends, however, while critical scholarship, particularly arising out of the subaltern and feminist traditions, acknowledge the limitations of these binaries, the insights from these studies have not necessarily made an impact on the research agendas in different historiographical traditions.
Highlighting the relevance of history for policy design and analysis, I argue for 'Historical gender mainstreaming'. This is important not only for a more comprehensive understanding of history, but also because our understanding of the past has direct relevance for contemporary social policy issues. Revealing the role of ordinary women in historical movements is particularly important to understand the historical context(s) that affect contemporary policy, as instructive accounts tracing continuities and changes in the socio-political context of social policies.

Kevin Durant is doing his usually scoring thing for the Oklahoma City Thunder as he has 20 points in the first half to lead all scorers as the Thunder are leading the Los Angeles Lakers 46-43 at the half. Durant is outplaying Kobe Bryant this evening who has 10 points on only four-of-13 shooting while Durant is shooting a more efficient seven-of-12.
For both teams it is a two-man crew in the scoring department as Russell Westbrook is the only other Thunder player in double figures as he has 10 points and Pau Gasol is leading the Lakers with 13 first half points.
This game has been back and forth the entire way with the largest lead being four points for either team with the only discernible difference being that the Thunder has made two more three-pointers than the Lakers

More and more, children are starting school without basic fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are used to do tasks like using a marker, cutting out and gluing shapes, or to hold the paper still while cutting it up with a scissors or drawing on it with crayons. These are skills that should have been mastered in advance of starting school, yet teachers are finding that first graders lack fine motor skills: the skills they need to begin learning.
Because these critical skills are missing, teachers must take time away from preplanned teaching schedules to get their students up to scratch. This wastes time and money that could be better spent.
How so?
Well, for one thing, first graders who lack fine motor skills must constantly have their hands guided and corrected. Moreover, often, these students haven't developed the strength in their hands and the coordination required to use a pair of scissors. Finally, such students may need to be taken out of class for individual help which may force them to miss out on class work and can end up costing school districts significant sums of money.
First Graders Lack Fine Motor Skills Because Velcro!
How pervasive is this problem? And what is the reason that first graders lack fine motor skills? April Whitlock markets Fundanoodle educational products for preschoolers and spends her days chatting with preschool and kindergarten teachers. "I have heard firsthand how students struggle with cutting, holding a pencil properly, and even folding. There are many factors to blame for the increasing number of children with under-developed motor skills. Technology, including using touch screens at a young age, is a huge factor but so is our culture of convenience with Velcro shoes and squeezable food," says Whitlock.
If you're the parent of a preschooler, you may be wondering what specific skills children are supposed to master before first grade. "Children entering kindergarten [are] expected to master letter formation with upper case letters and by first grade master lower case letter formation as well. Many children coming into school are not explicitly taught these skills.
"Teachers must set aside time now for teaching shoe-tying, how to use scissors, and how to grip a pencil. Parents can help by playing games that involve digital manipulation, i.e. pick up sticks; moving a game piece around a board; working with play-doh, or with building blocks," says Anita Perry, an educator and fitness expert who spent many years as a first and second grade classroom teacher. "Many parents mistakenly believe that video games meet this need, but in my experience actually delay fine motor development."
Monique M. C. Prince feels that preschool is already late in the game for addressing the acquisition of fine motor skills and takes an environmental approach. "Proper development comes from parenting practices which are child-centered from the beginning of conception. When children are physically and emotionally deprived or punished in their environments, they will not develop properly. Fine motor skills are not necessarily taught, so much as they develop from the child receiving everything the child needs early on which allows the muscle development to occur in a healthy way," says Prince, a Clinical Social Worker, Parenting Coach, and GAPS clinician.
"My oldest child is adopted and lived in an orphanage as an infant, which is the extreme case of neglect. He still, at 14 years old has much difficulty with any fine motor skill task. My youngest daughter (by birth) who received all attachment-style parenting such as extended breast feeding, co-sleeping, never neglected or even left to cry, never punished, and received exclusively organic foods from before conception developed her fine motor skills as an infant and still excels in that area and in all areas actually."
"Today, most children are fed toxic formula, left to cry it out, then fed toxic grain products, then fed toxic, fat-free foods, and then they are shoved into time-outs because they have no self-control and secure attachment. It's a recipe for failure and that is where our American culture is at, and our poor teachers are left trying to fix these things after a disaster at their students' homes."
"Environment is everything for a child to develop to his/her full potential and it starts before conception," says Prince.
Joanie B. Connell, Ph.D., says the problem is that children aren't getting enough playtime during the early years. "Parents place them in structured activities, like sports, music, and even academic learning. Toys are also getting less creative. For example, kits for art projects and Lego projects come with instructions and ready-made pieces, and kids aren't manipulating things as much as they used to," says Connell, who has a doctorate in psychology and a bachelor's degree in engineering from Harvard.
Environment may be a factor in how a child's fine motor skills evolve, but technology is also a factor. One small scale Philadelphia study found that ¾ of the parent participants had given their children electronic devices such as tablets, smartphones or iPods, by the age of four. Kids may be swiping screens or pushing buttons, but these activities are a poor substitute for drawing with crayons or markers, cutting out paper dolls, or modeling clay.
Have you got a little one who's not quite school age? There's a lot you can do at home to get your child up to scratch. First of all, cut way down on access to technology. That's right: take away your child's tablet, iPhone, or other hand-held device. Once you do that, there are many practical steps you can take to help your child develop coordination and hand-strength:
- Play with playdoh
- Put a puzzle together
- Cut paper with a child's safety scissors
- Build Lego
- Use alphabet magnets to form the child's name and simple words (think of your refrigerator as a canvas!)
- String cheerios onto a string to make an (edible!) bracelet
- Twist pipe cleaners into funny shapes or animals
- Play dress up, which gives children practice in putting on and taking off gloves and coats, zipping zippers, buttoning buttons, snapping snaps, and tying shoes.
- Use a coloring book to practice coloring within the lines
- Squeeze colored glitter glue over the lines in a coloring book, or fill in the shapes with paint, using short circular painting strokes.
Is your child struggling with fine motor skills in school? What are you doing to help your child build hand-strength and coordination?

SINGAPORE - Sembcorp Industries opened a $635 million co-generation plant on Jurong Island on Friday, its second in Singapore.
The plant, which began operating at the start of October, generates electricity for the national grid and produces steam for industrial companies on Jurong Island, Sembcorp said in a press release.
The company also opened a new technology and innovation centre near the plant, which it said was for Sembcorp researchers and engineers to develop and test new technologies.
Mr S. Iswaran, minister in the prime minister's office, told the opening ceremony at Jurong Island on Friday that it was "important for the public and private sectors to continue to work together to ensure that the energy sector keeps pace with our growing needs". He is also second minister for home affairs and trade and industry.
Mr Tang Kin Fei, group president and chief executive of Sembcorp, said in a speech at the ceremony that the plant, called Sembcorp Cogen @ Banyan, is a gas-fired cogeneration plant that can supply 400 megawatts of power and 200 tonnes per hour of process steam.
This facility increases Sembcorp's installed power capacity in Singapore by 50 per cent to 1,215 megawatts, he added.
He also said that the new technology and innovation centre would have a system that allows the firm to manage its energy and water facilities in 50 locations around the world from Singapore.
"It will put Sembcorp at the forefront of using predictive analytics in the operation of utility plants," he added.
Sembcorp shares gained seven cents to close at $4.87 on Friday.

On Saturday 7th December 2013 the UK is celebrating its inaugural 'Small Business Saturday' event. This government backed campaign is supported by the Prime Minister and run by American Express. It is a day to encourage support for and to champion the 5 million small businesses in the UK. The aim of the day is to remind consumers how important small businesses are in the UK – particularly important in the current economic climate - and to encourage consumers to show support by placing their trade with a small business on 7th December. The idea originally started in America, where it has become so successful it is now an established commercial holiday and generated $5.5 billion in sales last year. Plusnet Business supports Small Business Saturday. Head of Business, Nick Silverwood, explained: "Our business packages are designed for SME's; from the home worker to larger businesses with 50 employees or more. So we were delighted when we heard about Small Business Saturday, because it will directly help our customers. We'd like to encourage consumers across Britain to support a local small business this Saturday." There are numerous local councils and businesses getting involved around the country in a variety of ways - Christmas markets, free parking and festive fun days to name but a few. Visit the website for more information on what is going on in your local area and how you can get involved. For Plusnet Business product information or customer support, please visit the website.

Even though most reviewers think that Mac users should wait a bit before upgrading, positive notices for Mac OS X continue to appear in the writings of technology columnists.
"There's real excitement about Mac OS X, and every software and hardware manufacturer of any note has pledged its support," writes Andy Ihnatko (well known to Mac users) in the Chicago Sun-Times . He praises the system's UNIX underpinnings, but adds, "For all of X's open-source heritage, though, most users will see its Unix underpinnings only when they notice that their Mac is now nearly crash-proof, and is much more efficient and agile in allocating memory and processor time to its apps."
Ihnatko also praises the look and feel of Mac OS X. It has "hands-down, the most sophisticated and elegant user-interface I've seen in an OS," he writes.
Mac OS X is clearly a Version 1.0. It could still stand a lot of tweaking, and many new bugs are being discovered. Still, where the public beta (released last year) raised as much doubt as excitement, users are almost universally reacting to 1.0 as something we can all use and support, hoping for nothing more than a little fine-tuning.
Paul Vaughn of the San Antonio Express-News agrees.
"One thing any user notices immediately: OS X is beautiful," he said. "The interface, called Aqua, is well designed and sports larger icons and windows have elegant drop shadows and jewel-like buttons that light up when you mouse over them."
He also likes the Dock. Vaughn finds it useful, though admitting that it's very different than the Mac OS with which we've become familiar.
"Ironically, it may be new Mac users who will get the most out of this OS the quickest," Vaughn said. "Hardcore Mac users have a lot to unlearn. Interface elements that I have known since the 1980s have changed. How do I select a printer? How do I connect to another Mac? It definitely feels like a plunge off the deep end."
The writer said that Mac OS 9.1 would be supported through at least 2003 (a timetable that I hadn't heard before). But Vaugh said that now is the time to install and learn OS X, because it's "definitely the future of Macintosh computing — a future most Mac users will welcome."
Mac OS X was worth the wait, opines Mike Langberg in the Stamford Advocate . Though it "still has a few missing pieces and therefore isn't ready for the average home user," it should be soon, he said.
"I'm betting OS X will be safe for mainstream customers in four to six months," Langberg writes. "OS X … offers a stunning new user interface, bringing the screen to life with colorful and sharply rendered icons and windows. The interface also makes it easier and more fun to launch applications, manage files and perform other routine chores. But the most important changes are under the hood, where Apple has revamped the internal plumbing in ways that make computers running the OS X software far more reliable and efficient."

Interview Commentary
Boder's interview with Anna Braun represents a departure from those with other survivors. Mrs. Braun was a Mennonite whose family was victimized by the Stalinist Soviet Union, especially during the 1930s. The Mennonites are a Protestant group whose members first began to settle in the Ukraine, where the Braun family resided, in the late 18th century. They believe their lives should be guided by Christ's teachings in the Holy Bible and by the Holy Spirit. They call for a strict separation between church and state and advocate the extension of biblical teachings into social and economic life. In so doing, they reject military service and holding public office, strive for congregational and communal autonomy, and embrace an ethic of love and devotion to the Divine. These and other teachings were anathema to the atheistic, totalitarian Stalinist regime, which sought to inculcate the Soviet population with communist ideas and ideals. Therefore, the Mennonites communities living in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic underwent repression and persecution. Then, following the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany on June 22, 1941, Mrs. Braun and her family endured the vicissitudes of a brutal war which cost millions of lives.
Mrs. Braun was born in 1906 in the Zaporozhye district of the Ukraine. Her native language was German, and Boder conducted the 1946 interview with her in this language. At the time of the interview, she was accompanied by her twenty year old stepdaughter and ten year old daughter. The original Braun family included Anna's parents and her brother and two sisters. Her father owned a steam-powered flour mill in the town of Tartiza. During the 1918-1921 civil war following the 1917 communist revolution, Mrs. Braun's father was killed. The 1930s brought difficult times to the Mennonites of the USSR, and by the mid 1930s all Mennonite churches had been closed by the regime. Mrs. Braun's brother was arrested in 1935 for seeking permission to hold church services. He died in prison two years later. Her husband was arrested in 1936 on false charges. After six months of imprisonment, he was sentenced to death and never heard from again. In 1938, at the height of the Stalinist Great Terror during which some 800,000 people were executed, Mrs. Braun's stepfather was arrested, imprisoned and was also never again heard from. Many other Mennonite families suffered similar losses, and the spiritual leadership of the Mennonite communities was decimated.
Mrs. Braun survived the Great Terror and, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, was working as a technical draftswoman. By the late summer of 1941, the Germans had captured the area of the Ukraine in which Mrs. Braun resided, and she and her family lived for two years under German rule. The Germans allowed the reopening of Mennonite churches, but Mrs. Braun was appalled by the genocidal policies of the Nazis towards Jews and deeply offended by the sacrilegious nature of the "Heil Hitler" salute.
As the Red army approached the Zaporozhye region, Mrs. Braun and her children were deported for forced labor in Germany in the fall of 1943. The Brauns arrived first in Lvov (now L'viv) in western Ukraine, and ended up in a camp in Neustadt located on the Baltic near the city of Danzig (now Gdansk). Mrs. Braun continued to work as a technical draftswoman and received some financial compensation for her labors. As the front approached in the winter of 1944-'45, she and her daughter and stepdaughter were again deported, this time to Czechoslovakia. After about four months, there was a final evacuation in the direction of Munich, but some sixty miles from there, the Brauns were liberated by American forces.
After first being interned in a displaced persons camp in Heilenbach, Bavaria, they finally made their way to the Funkkaserne displaced persons camp in Munich after receiving word that relatives of theirs were there along with several hundred other Mennonites. From this camp, they intended to immigrate to British Columbia in Canada where brothers of Mrs. Braun's husband lived along with other Mennonites. The Brauns were much more fortunate than thousands of other Mennonites who were forcibly repatriated to the Soviet Union. Upon their return, many were arrested and exiled to Siberia.
Mrs. Braun's story is a reminder of the strength and resilience displayed by Mennonite women in the predominantly female-led families of the group during and immediately after the war. It is also a reminder of the cruelty and suffering inflicted upon its people by the Stalinist Soviet Union, which, like its Nazi totalitarian counterpart, debased and destroyed countless millions of human beings. The Stalinist terroristic state transformed peaceful citizens into "enemies of the people," perverted the judicial system and brought about untold numbers of family tragedies and losses such as those endured by Mrs. Braun.

As we slowly pull ourselves out of our holiday induced food, family and booze comas, it's important to start the day off right with something real nice (as Cousin Eddie would say.)
Coming off of the mixtape from the electronic producer/vocalist duo, Made in Heights, has a downtempo delight that's perfect to ease you into reality. Chock full of atmospheric layering, subtle tribal drum work and a underlying synth melody, the true hero in "Mantis" is Kelsey's heart-wrenching lyrics. The simplistic soundscape is a perfect backdrop for the her story.
Coming off of their latest release,The Wøøds, This is apparently just a light taste of what's on deck for this upcoming year for this talented duo, according to their Bandcamp:

Alec John Jeffreys (1950–)
By Corey Harbison
Alec John Jeffreys created a process called DNA fingerprinting in the UK during the twentieth century. For DNA fingerprinting, technicians identify a person as the source of a biological sample by comparing the genetic information contained in the person's DNA to the DNA contained in the sample. Jeffreys developed the technique in the 1980s while at the University of Leicester in Leicester, UK. Jeffreys's technique had immediate applications. In forensic science, DNA fingerprinting enabled police to identify suspects of crimes based on their genetic identities.

Percivall Pott (1714-1788)
By Carolina Abboud
Percivall Pott was a physician in England during the eighteenth century who identified soot as the cause of chimney sweeps' scrotal cancer, later called testicular cancer. In the 1770s, Pott observed that scrotal cancer commonly afflicted chimney sweeps, the young boys sent up into chimneys to clean away the soot left over from fires, and he hypothesized that the soot inside chimneys might cause that type of cancer. Pott was one of the first doctors to identify some environmental factor as causing cancer.

When I was 18 I returned from Amsterdam only to be greeted with all my luggage searched and a strip search (thankfully no cavity search). Ever since then, transitioning through airports has taken on a new heightened anxiety-riddled dance. Try as I may, I know my heart rate is elevated and I always seem to be breathing as if the room is depleted with oxygen. Of course, I try not to let anyone know how I'm feeling so I'm also trying to stuff it all down. Keep this in mind as you read this blog post…
We arrived at Victoria airport, and find out our plane is 35 mins delayed leaving. Alaska Airlines says, no worries for the connection. You'll just have to go through customs but you're golden. Then the call over the PA system for me. Up to the front we go and we find out that in actual fact we might not make it. We will be rerouted through Dallas and then on to Philly with an arrival time of 12:50am. AFTER MIDNIGHT.
This essentially means that we will miss picking up the rental car to drive to New York and we will have to find a hotel. Since this is the air traffic controls issues in Seattle, the airline isn't responsible so we're on the hook to pay it all.
Welcome aboard, your journey starts now.
Luc and I start to talk about options about what we could do if the latter issue happens… but there isn't really much we can do until we find out how it's going to go down.
We arrive in Seattle. Touch down: we have 50 mins before our next plane backs out of the gate.
We're ferried onto a bus. Then through a maze of walkways, into customs. There Luc goes one way (he's not Canadian so he has to go somewhere else) and this causes me a ton of anxiety. Jaedyn, me and Vivi head to the check-in terminals. I'm literally shaking wondering what is about to happen.
We get our paperwork, and off to the first person we see. We have big X's on our slips so we have to head down the yellow line… why? Cuz we're a family. Phewf ok. Then to the customs person named Howard (how do I even know this?). I can barely breath and he asks "Final destination?" New York. Well Philly first. "Reason for travel?" I sputter "to visit" Vivi fills in "It's a holiday" yes yes it's a holiday that's what I wanted to say. Stamp stamp stamp. Carry on.
I'm frantically looking for Luc; he is already down at the carousel collecting our bags. Together again – thank god. We grab all our bags (forgetting the booster seat – damn) and head off to the next stop which is another person who asks us more questions (I think). Then to another place to recheck the baggage. I have a ton of judgement about this process of collecting bags and the rechecking them again. Stupid stupid stupid.
"Wait", I say to the guy there, "what if we don't have enough time to get to our flight? What happens to our luggage"? He asks "What time does your flight leave?" 11:55. "What time is it now?" 11:25. Plenty of time he says. And off our luggage goes down the conveyor belt. This is now becoming and exercise in trust and "it will all work out".
We leave there and next stop is the second security check of the day. This time the shoes come off, it's hot, pandemonium and this guy asks to see our boarding passes. We show him and he says "precheck boarding is upstairs". What the heck does that mean? So I say, "what does that mean?" He says it again. Luc asks this time "Are we supposed to go upstairs? What does that mean?" he says "If you don't know what that means, then it doesn't matter" HUH? "So we stay here?" No answer. Ok, we're going to stay here.
As we get closer and closer to the screening, the four of us are spread across 12 different trays/backpacks… I'm beginning to wonder what we're about to forget. Then I'm ushered into the device that encircles you with your hands up. Jaedyn has the same fate. Luc and Vivi get off much easier. Is it the red hair? Why us? No time to think about that, we need to get our shoes on, pack up our 50 items and truck along to Gate D.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, when we rechecked out baggage that guy told us it was two trains to get to gate D. Jesus. Time is ticking. Onto the first train. Off. Onto the second train. Off. Luc starts running for gate D. I have no idea how far away it is. Me and the girls start jogging. Clearly we're going in the opposite direction as everyone else #swimmingupstream… then I see a guy driving a people mover…. I start to speed up until I've caught up with him and ask him if we can jump on and he can take us to gate D. "Sure!" he says. We get on, catch our breath and I yell out "excuse us!!" as people get in the way of the people mover.
We make it to gate D (American Airlines), thank the nice man and run up to the woman waiting there. It's 11:44. Luc is there dealing with the fact that he has to get a boarding pass (so many problems if you don't have a Canadian passport). We hand over our boarding passes. The woman says, "You're going to need to check your backpack. And her backpack. And his carry on." Say WHAT?!?
My heart is racing, I'm HOT, adrenalin is coursing through my body, and now I have to figure out what I'm taking out of my backpack to get on the 5 hour plane with. Out comes the laptop, the Euros, the American cash, the pens for Vivi to colour with. Luc grabs the iPads, the journal and activity books for Vivi.
The woman starts yelling at us, "you have to go or they will lock the gate. If you don't make it there on time, they will cancel the flight." Ok, now you've pushed me too far. I lash out "I've been moving for the last 45 mins trying to get to this gate. Do not pressure me into getting to the door of the plane. You can clearly see I'm trying here."
Onto the plane… I don't even know what seat I'm sitting in. Vivi and Jaedyn I assume are ahead. When I get close to our seats I see the girls in tears. I'm also close to tears. "What's going on?" Jaedyn explains that the woman was also yelling at her "go go go! If you don't hurry they will cancel the entire flight!" Jaedyn was trying to tell her that she didn't want to be separated from me and Luc and the woman wouldn't have anything to do with it.
That pushes me over the limit and I start sobbing… I mutter "horrible horrible". I'm overcome with emotion from all the adrenaline, stress, pushing, lack of control and seeing my girls upset. Not being able to manage the unknown. I've literally been running and pushed for the last 45 mins trying to figure out my way through multiple gates.
One of the flight attendants comes by and asks me if I'm ok. "no I'm not" I say. He asks what he can get me. "Water please". Thank you for showing me some compassion. It means a lot. Luc and Vivi are sitting beside me and hold my hand and fanning me. Vivi says "we made it. Just breath, Mama" and then she takes a deep breath like I do for her when she is upset.
She is wise beyond her years.
We made it.
I wonder if our luggage will be so lucky.
The journey has definitely begun.
After conversing with Luc, he says he didn't experience the same thing. For him he says it was more like "it is what it is." I feel like I have heard that one before.
After collecting our bags that were checked at the door (thank god those made it), we waited and watched the spinning conveyor belt spin until there was no one left and it stopped spinning…
We walked to the baggage area where we spent the next 1.5 hours trying to locate and get the bags shipped to New York. We were starving and still needed to get to the car rental and then to New York (2 hours away).
I started to cry. Again. Overwhelmed by the day and knowing what was in front of me still.
We walked outside at 10:30pm East Coast time. We waited for the shuttle to pick us up to go to the car rental for about 30 mins. FOREVER.
We get to the car rental and they have a car for us. And a car seat. Hallelujah. I ask "Anywhere to eat near here?" the guys says "At this time? Doubt it." It's 11pm. So we take off for McDonalds. I can barely believe I ate there this morning – I think I was delusional.
I wanted to stay in a motel in Philly so that my night stopped and I could regroup. But Luc and Jaedyn assured me that they were wide awake and they would be capable to drive and co-pilot so off we went.
Stopped in at a store to go pee before our 2 hour drive to New York and one of the stalls had a hypodermic needle on the floor, one stall was flooded and thankfully one stall remained mostly untouched.
2 hours later and much of my heightened anxiety in the back seat, (yes I was your classic back seat driver) we arrive. Find the Airbnb, go inside, brush teeth and off to la la land we go.
What did I learn about today:
- I probably need to do some completion around what happened to me in the airport when I was 18 years old.
- Managing the unknown is exhausting.
- It's ok to cry and release on an airplane filled with people.
- It's ok to say that I'm not ok. I will get help.
- My kids are more resilient than me. Damnit!
- I need to practice letting go more.
- The bigger the breakdown, the bigger the breakthrough
- That this probably won't happen again while we're travelling.
- That we have $500/person if we have delayed baggage to buy stuff with. World Nomads is our insurance provider.
- Water and food are important and I definitely didn't have enough of that yesterday (it was next to impossible TBH).
- There are quite a few ways to look at what happened yesterday and I get to choose how I look at it:
- Anxiety
- Fun
- Adventure
- Incredulousness
- It is what it is
Next time I will practice choosing differently.

HSSB801: Treasured collection
"Basically, they are all words that praise Young Master," Ah Hu chuckled, "Young and accomplished, supremely talented, already having Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood at a young age.
Also possessing great strength, slaying numerous experts of the same cultivation level and even surpassing levels to kill experts with higher cultivation bases."
"Orchestrating heaven shaking, earth-overturning changes in the Royal Reed Sea, with even the Grand Xuan Dynasty that has numerous Immortal Bridge Martial Saints totally unable to do a thing to you, Young Master, as they were instead pathetically owned by you with their faces all sooty."
"Not having reached the Seeing Divinity stage, yet already possessing a high-grade Sacred Artifact, even already being able to wield this high-grade Sacred Artifact."
"Moreover, being deeply admired and thought highly of by the Southeastern Exalt, being on great terms with the Shadow Mountain Sword King Lin Hanhua as well."
Ah Hu counted down on his fingers, "There are also many speculations regarding your background.
Some say that you come untrained from the lower worlds while some say that you are actually the descendant of the Exalted Solar Luminary of the legendary Nine Luminaries, therefore bearing the supreme Extreme Yang Seal."
"There are even those who say that you were actually a disciple of the Southeastern Exalt in the first place, only just having finally revealed yourself to the world."
"Anyway, there are truly rumours abound, each claiming theirs to be the right one as no one is able to convince the other."
Ah Hu smiled, "No matter what they say, Young Master, your fame now is already no longer limited to just the Royal Reed Sea alone."
Yan Zhaoge was deeply entertained by this as he smilingly stroked his lower chin, "Hmm, not bad, not bad."
He turned and said to Feng Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, at such a time, we should really have a little something from your treasured collection to celebrate."
Seeing him all full of himself, Feng Yunsheng could not help but smile, "Just like a big kid."
She smiled, shaking her head as she entered the Myriad Dragon Palace.
In the depths of the palace was a massive cage, a gigantic beast trapped within.
Its eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty glow as it possessed a brutal, ferocious aura.
This beast was somewhat like a deer and somewhat like a wolf, and even dragged around the long tail of a python behind it.
It was a rare beast known as the Maoliang that Yan Zhaoge had coincidentally ran into when adventuring elsewhere in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
It was extremely brutal and fed on human flesh, being a demonic beast that terrorised the land.
This Maoliang that was currently being held captive had an extremely powerful fleshly body which was comparable to that of Martial Saint experts.
Still, its aura had diminished and shrivelled now that it was all locked up.
Seeing Feng Yunsheng enter, it shivered slightly.
Feng Yunsheng did not look at it, instead walking to the side of the cage where a large block of ice could be seen.
Inside was sealed some white solids that resembled tiny fragments of shattered bone.
Feng Yunsheng carefully unsealed one of them, retrieving the bone.
Seeing her actions, the tail of the Maoliang unconsciously shrunk back.
Taking the shattered bone fragment, Feng Yunsheng exited the Myriad Dragon Palace and continued breaking it into even smaller fragments before throwing a small portion of it into the pot.
In virtually just an instant, the fragrance of the pot grew denser, causing the others who had actually already been half-full to literally salivate.
The remaining bone fragments were pierced through by Feng Yunsheng on skewers and barbecued atop a new pile of firewood.
There had actually been two Maoliangs that had attacked Yan Zhaoge's group back then.
One of them had been slain by Yan Zhaoge on the spot while the other had instead been captured alive.
Some soft, tiny bones of the joints of this Maoliang being used for cooking was delicious indeed.
Yan Zhaoge took the skewer, biting on some soft, barbecued bone as he clicked his tongue in wonder, "Throughout our journey, this thing still tastes the best at the end of the day."
Feng Yunsheng smiled, "It's good enough already that you don't find the cooking method crude."
She loved eating and was greedy as well.
Still, due to her experiences traipsing around the outside world in the past, she was used to employing the simplest, swiftest methods in doing her cooking.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "It's great that it's tasty.
Who cares about how it's made."
Feng Yunsheng smilingly bit down on another with an expression full of satisfaction on her face, "No one dislikes food that's better made.
When things settle down, I should properly concentrate on this and try to learn from some famous masters."
Yan Zhaoge repeatedly nodded in agreement, "It is great that you have the desire to improve."
As they happily conversed, a massive isle had already appeared in the distant horizon.
The isle was overly massive as it resembled the coastline of a continent, engulfing one's field of vision as they gazed over from far away.
The Setting Sun Archipelago was really not all that far away from being composed of several mini-continents.
After Yan Zhaoge's group had landed ashore, Pan-Pan shrunk before leaping into Feng Yunsheng's embrace and lazily going to sleep.
"Lady once secretly took up residence here.
Still, that is already something from a few years back," Xiao Ai said as she walked.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "You once mentioned that my mother returns to the places she went to before once in a while"
Xiao Ai nodded, "This did happen twice.
Still, this maid cannot be certain that she will return here."
Yan Zhaoge strode over decisively, "Let us first take a look at things."
This isle was known as the Whale Region.
By the shore was a grand city known as Whale Fishing City.
The primary power here was a large family habitually known as Whale Fishing City's Xie Family.
Their Head, Xie Liang, was a martial practitioner who had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood.
Still, a major reason for the Xie Family being able to reign over Whale Fishing City and the lands surrounding it was the hegemon of the Whale Region, the Whale Breath Sect that supported it.
The Whale Breath Sect was a massive entity in the whole of the Setting Sun Archipelago, its position being comparable to that of North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island in the Royal Reed Sea.
The Xie Family that occupied Whale Fishing City controlled not just a single city alone.
The vast districts surrounding Whale Fishing City and many cities of varying sizes, though still not as grand as Whale Fishing City, all still fell under the Xie Family's sphere of influence.
Being close to the sea, with products from the vast ocean in the vicinity and trading with merchant boats, the Xie Family had developed greatly.
As the Lord of Whale Fishing City, Xie Liang's position was actually equivalent to that of a monarch.
Entering Whale Fishing City, Yan Zhaoge walked around the city with Xiao Ai.
Arriving at the place where his mother, Xue Chuqing had once resided, he discovered that that place had already been levelled with something else having been constructed where it once stood.
Looking at that grand, magnificent well-frequented winehouse that stood before him, Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples lightly, "From the looks of it, even if mother intends to return to Whale Fishing City, she will still have to find another place to stay in."
Ah Hu blinked, "Young Master, what do we do now"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Since we are here, we might as well go in to sit.
We can also check up on news and see if mother ever did return here."
Ah Hu asked, "Why not we ask Xie Liang directly"
"No need for that.
Regarding mother's matter, the fewer people who know the better," Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, "Even now, I still don't know who exactly those people are whom she provoked."
They entered.
Business was booming in this nine-storey building, the seats filled with customers.
For those empty seats that occasionally popped up, they too were simply reserved beforehand.
Ah Hu want off to handle this, Yan Zhaoge leaving him to deal with it as he saw fit.
After a while, an attendant respectfully came over and invited them into an elegant room.
The people there did not have very high cultivation bases.
Gazing around, Yan Zhaoge even saw some who had yet to successfully cultivate aura-qi and those who had not even become Martial Scholars yet, still being mere Martial Artists.
Travelling throughout the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory over the past half year, Yan Zhaoge had already seen many such ordinary martial practitioners, and even mortals who did not cultivate in martial arts at all.
Ever since having come to the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge had immediately been consorting with the likes of Lin Hanhua, Kang Ping and Luo Zhiyuan.
Thus, he had vaguely found this somewhat surreal, having had to slowly get used to it afterwards.
With Yan Zhaoge's current cultivation base, his sense of hearing was such that he would be able to clearly hear all the conversations between the martial practitioners with lower cultivation bases if only he wanted to.
Who knew that just having sat down, the first thing he heard was his own name being mentioned.

Sarhanis, P, Redman, C, Perrett, C, Brannigan, K, Clayton, RN, Hand, P, Musgrove, C, Suarez, V, Jones, P, Fryer, AA, Farrell, WE and Strange, RC (1996) Epithelial ovarian cancer: influence of polymorphism at the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1 and GSTT1 loci on p53 expression. British Journal of Cancer, 74 (11). 1757 - 1761. ISSN 1532-1827Full text not available from this repository.
The importance of polymorphism in the glutathione S-transferase GSTM1, GSTT1 and, cytochrome P450, CYP2D6 loci in the pathogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer has been assessed in two studies; firstly, a case-control study designed to determine the influence of these genes on susceptibility to this cancer, and secondly, the putative role of these genes in the protection of host cell DNA has been studied by comparing p53 expression in patients with different GSTM1, GSTT1 and CYP2D6 genotypes. The frequencies of GSTM1, GSTT1 and CYP2D6 genotypes in 84 cases and 325 controls were not different. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect p53 expression in 63 of these tumours. Expression was found in 23 tumours. Of the patients demonstrating immunopositivity, 20 (87%) were GSTM1 null. The frequency distributions of GSTM1 genotypes in p53-positive and -negative samples were significantly different (P = 0.002) and those for GSTT1 genotypes approached significance (exact P = 0.057). The proportion of patients with both GSTM1 null and GSTT1 null was also significantly greater in the immunopositive (4/22) than in the immunonegative group (1/40) (P = 0.0493). Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis was used to detect mutations in the 23 tumour samples demonstrating p53 positivity. A shift in electrophoretic mobility of amplified fragments was found in 11 patients (exons 5, 6, 7 and 8) and these exons were sequenced. In eight samples a mutation was found. No SCCP variants were identified in the other 12 immunopositive patients. Sequencing of exons 4-9 of p53 from these tumours resulted in the detection of mutations in two patients (exons 5 and 7). Thus, in 23 patients who demonstrated immunopositivity, p53 mutations were found in nine patients with GSTM1 null (90.0%). In the 13 patients in whom no mutations were identified, 11 were GSTM1 null (84.6%). The data show that overexpression of p53 is associated with the GSTM1 null genotype. We propose the data are compatible with the view that GSTM1 and GSTT1 are critical in the detoxification of the products of oxidative stress produced during the repair of the ovarian epithelium. Thus, failure to detoxify products of this stress may result in damage to various genes in the host cell, including to p53, resulting in persistent expression of mutant protein. In other patients, oxidative stress effects damage to various genes, but not including p53, resulting in overexpression of wild-type p53.

Winner of Product Innovation of the Year, 2016 at The Aesthetics Awards, Profhilo treatments are a new, effective and natural looking non-surgical facelift treatment that addresses skin laxity, not just lines and wrinkles.
If your skin is suitable for Derma Filler treatment it is suitable for Profhilo also. Profhilo hydrates your skin from the inside out. It is the first BDDE-free stabilised injective Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based product for treating skin laxity. Profhilo uses patented technologies for skin remodelling and a revolutionary concept of 'curling' wrinkles rather than 'filling' them.
Sound like a treatment ladies, or gentlemen, of a certain age could be queuing up for!
So, how does Profhilo work?
Once injected into the skin Profhilo, a stimulator of four different types of collagen and elastin, takes place by the slow release of HA. It remains in the skin for around 28 days with the stimulation tightening and lifting the tissue resulting in significant tissue improvement, renewing the skin from within. The unique characteristics of Profhilo visibly improve skin condition after just two sessions with the need for only five points of injection to offer you maximum comfort during treatment.
Where can Profhilo Treatments be used?
The most popular area for Profhilo treatment is the face but it can also be used to treat sagging skin on the neck, décolletage, upper arms, hands and knees. Anyone over 30, women and men, with no upper age limit, can be successfully treated with Profhilo.
What are the results?
After just one course of Profhilo treatment (two injectable treatments four weeks apart) you should see an intense hydration of the skin. It will feel smoother and tighter, fine lines can disappear, even clients with more wrinkled skin will see an improvement. Treatment will last up to six months, when it can be repeated if desired.
Are there side-effects?
The only recorded side effects of Profhilo treatment are bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites. These are related to the needle not the product and quickly disappear. The treatment area may feel tender to touch; this is normal and will ease in a few days.
To round things off this exciting Profhilo treatment can help to:
- Increase skin firmness
- Tighten and lift the skin
- Rehydrate the skin
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Restore radiance
If Profhilo treatment sounds right up your street get in touch with the team at Eden Medical to book a free consultation today.

Hi, I shoot this video with my boyfriend, he asked me and I accepted it because I love him. It gives me a little embarrassed, it's the first time we do something. Do not believe me? It is true, I am very ardent in bed, but only with him privately. He is not the same in front of others.I have never had sex with anyone else, although my boyfriend was there. But with him, it's different, I like to suck his dick and make him feel pleasure, so be good girl and he does everything he likes. I did not know what to do if I left. I always try to please him for being happy with me and not needing to look for someone else.
