Hospitals in eight KP districts get financial powers
PESHAWAR: The health department has delegated financial powers to hospitals in eight districts in the first phase of its plan to facilitate precise budget-making and ensure timely utilisation of financial resources besides putting in place a mechanism for tracking of staffers and their performance for bringing improvement in the health delivery system at the grassroots level.
"KP health department has become the first one in the country to give powers to districts in the fulfillment of 18th Amendment, which calls for investing more powers in the officials working at the local level," officials said. They said that the system would be in place in the whole province by September 2018 in two phases covering nine districts each.
Previously, all powers were held by the district health officers (DHOs), who often remained preoccupied with host of other assignments, regarding policy matters and implementation of the government's directives and as result performance of the local health facilities dwindled for want of funds and staff.
Decision to facilitate health units in budget-making and utilisation of funds
Peshawar, Mardan, Battagram, Buner, Kohat, Swabi, Tank and Torghar are the districts where medical superintendents of the category D hospitals would act as drawing and disbursing officers for the health facilities located in the same tehsil. They would also keep the track of the budgetary and human resources.
The modus operandi has been adopted on the recommendation of Financial Management Cell (FMC), established in February 2016 on the directives of Health Secretary Abid Majeed to facilitate budget preparation and conduct research to bring about improvement in financial management, accounting, reporting and expenditure analysis.
FMC is also working to establish separate cost centres for every health facility by making separate budgetary and staff allocation to the civil dispensaries, basic health units, mother and child health centre, etc at the district level. In the past there was one budget for 49 basic health units in Mardan but now each of them would be issued separate budget and staff based on the patients load.
The health department has already issued revised delegation of powers schedule 2018 wherein it has given financial authority to the officers to ensure that the institutions work smoothly. The last schedule issued in 2001 has been outdated as the level of prices and costs has gone up steeply since then.
The initiative is aimed at segregation of powers, budget tracking and performance appraisal of staff for accurate budget-making for the local health facilities to be able to translate government's policies into actions.
Now, the DHOs, who were responsible for administrative and financial affairs of all the facilities in the districts, would focus on the strategic policy and planning, decision-making and implementation of the programme as they are free from looking into financial matters of the health facilities.
Officials said that the department had been facing delay in preparation of budget documents every year prior to approval by finance department because of the flaws as the DHOs concerned didn't have the desired experience.
"We want to pursue financial regulations and divert resources for the welfare of the patients in a timely manner," said officials.
The department had been receiving complaints since long that small health facilities had to deny health services to people due to small repair of machines, purchase of essential drugs and getting the required staff because they had to contact DHOs, who had many other important issues to deal with and couldn't tackle those issues timely.
"The establishment of FMC has helped the health department to have clear picture of the staff and financial resources in every health facility based on which it would send proposals to the finance department," they said.

Bellowing by Email
It's not good when two disturbed people
with little in common disagree by email
on something important.
Tone and content can get raucous
and make matters worse because each is
used to getting the last word.
Normal people give up arguing with them
but they can exchange emails for days
and never come close to a resolution.
Their bellowing would wake a bear in winter.
I tell you this from personal experience.
I just answered that lunatic again.

A car slid backwards off the M55 and down an embankment after being 'cut up' by another motorist, police said.
The maroon-coloured Jaguar was pictured stationary in a muddy field close to Blackpool by road police officers yesterday afternoon.
A spokesman said it 'left the carriageway backwards' and added: "Thankfully, no injuries sustained by the driver."
Two lanes of the motorway had to be closed while the car was recovered, the spokesman added.
Emergency services were called shortly before noon after another driver pulled onto the hard shoulder and dialled 999, saying the car had 'spun out of control'.

About the Authors
Brandy lives in Pittsburgh and dreams of running away and becoming a vampire. She is a diehard reader that can't breathe without adding something to her TBR list. She loves anything romance but has a special place in her heart for all things vampire related. She has a slight addiction (obsession) with coffee and it is the only thing keeping her from becoming a member of the undead.
From a magical land of castles and kings (Okay, it's England), Gina doesn't feel as old as she looks, owns three children who can't be tamed, and writes in spare – usually stolen – time. She sometimes bakes—not always with quite the desired results, and has found the only solution to keeping the characters in her head quiet is to placate them with lots of other lovely books and worlds.
Bestselling author Jena Gregoire was born and raised in New Hampshire, USA, and despite her abhorrence for any season which dares to drop to a temperature below seventy degrees, she still currently resides there with her two children and several furbabies. Always a passionate reader, her love of urban fantasy books inevitably morphed into a love of writing them. She is currently working on the Hellfire (previously known as Demon Legacy) series and has a Hellfire spinoff series coming soon. Jena Gregoire previously published as J.M. Gregoire.
Kat Parrish is a former reporter who prefers making things up! An Army brat, her motto is "Have passport, will travel." She has lived in seven states and two foreign countries and would love to celebrate her 100th birthday with a trip into space. She lives in the Pacific Northwest near a haunted cemetery.
International bestselling author Liz Gavin's books have made to #1 in countries as diverse as Japan, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and her home country Brazil, collecting 5 and 4-star reviews. Nominated for a Summer Indie Book Award in 2016, and again in 2017, this RWA member constantly seeks new opportunities to improve her craft.
This thirst for knowledge propelled Liz to leave the comforts of family and friends in Brazil and move to California to pursue a Master's degree in late 2015. She lives in sunny SoCal, where she's researching the writing process, for her thesis, in hopes to figure out why she creates in English instead of her native Portuguese.
Liz Gavin writes in contemporary, paranormal, and historical genres. In her sexy stories, one finds smart, independent women, who don't need rescuing by knights in shining armor, but indulge in steamy action with swoony Alpha males with big hearts. She also writes about women discovering their sexuality and finding happiness in unconventional setups.
Nicole Zoltack is a USA Today bestselling author who loves to write romances, whether they're fantasy, paranormal, or regency. She's also an editor for MuseItUp Publishing and works as a freelance editor and ghostwriter.
When she's not writing about gentlemen and their ladies, knights, superheroes, or witches, she loves to spend time with her loving husband, three energetic young boys, and precious baby girl. She enjoys riding horses (pretending they're unicorns, of course!) and going to the PA Renaissance Faire, dressed in garb. She'll also read anything she can get her hands on. Her current favorite TV shows are The Walking Dead and Gotham.
Victoria DeLuis is an avid fantasy reader, who enjoys writing Urban Fantasy and paranormal/cosy mysteries.
She lives in Wales with her husband, daughter, three cats and one dog.
Amongst other writings, Victoria is currently working on The Independent Necromancer's Bureau Series, and The Shifter Academy Series.

Great and soothing
We've been using baby wipes for quite a while when cleaning and changing my bedridden mother. While using them in warm water with No Rinse Body Bath has done a good job, they tear easily and become too rough for cleaning the delicate areas when they become inflamed. I discovered the Kendall Curity Cleaners and now all mother's caregivers agree that the cleaners are the best for cleaning her face and delicate eye area instead of a rough washcloth, and far more delicate for use in washing and changing mother.

Curity Cleaners Review
Very handy baby wipes. I just use warm water. These are durable and soft.
vicki 164 06 2013 13:40
I make my own solution using these wipes
I hope the pharmacist who posted the first review sees this. Have a lidded plastic container the size of the cleaners ready. All one needs to do is prepare a solution of liquid unscented castille soap (no more than 1 tblsp is needed), aloe vera gel (same qtity), a half cup of witch hazel, and finally some distilled water. Place a stack of the cleaners in your container and pour the solution over them. If you need more liquid, just add more distilled water. Optionally, one can add some pure food grade rose or lavender hydrosol for a nice scent. Harmless on skin. And there you go! I use them personally. I do not flush them. No alcohol or other unpronounceable chemicals. The cleaners are strong and big enough to fold over and use for a second wipe before tossing.

Just as promised. Thanks!

These are excellent dry wipes.
I am a pharmacist so I know a good prodcut and only recommend them if I honestly use them and approve of them. I have a newborn baby who was in the NICU, and I noticed that they used these the clean him. These wipes are dry, so I put them under warm water, rinse them, and I use then to clean him everytime I change the diaper, and especially after he poops. They are extremely strong, soft and cause no irritation. I prefer these as opposed to the wet wipes because the wet wipes are full of chemicals and who knows what else ( as an pharmacist, I do not recoomend using wet wipes all the time because they will cause diaper rash). Warm water is all you need. Once in awhile, I will use Desitin if I notice some redness, otherwise my baby is doing great with these. I bought a box of 3000 and so far after 3 months, I still have enough for another month, and I use these exclusively.. nothing else. I've seen similar products at BabysRUs and it costs about $8 for a smal pack of 25 dry wipes.. (total rip off). My sister happens to be a nurse that works in NicU and she uses these exclusively on her premie babies as well. I also use these for my baby's mouth care, and general cleansing as well. I highly reccommend these. These are the medium size and I have not been able to obtain Large wipes yet. It would be nice to have some Med and Large wipes.

Here Comes the Plumber: Part One
Maybe this story really starts when we decided to put our house up for sale this past spring. We wanted to jump the gun, get the 300K+ house in Loudonville with the pool and perfect yard RIGHT NOW! Of course I know nothing great comes RIGHT NOW, but I didn't care. I was obsessed. So the showings started and life became a treadmill of racing home from work, piecing the house back together, getting the dogs out, then in came the young couple who would soon say, "No thanks" or "Not for us." We lived on eggshells for thirty days, every universe sign screaming at me: "DON'T MOVE. YOU'RE NOT READY!" Then one May night while sitting on the deck, we came to the joint realization that we weren't ready to leave. We were happy here, with this, a manageable house and mortgage payment. We didn't need to extend for happiness. We already had it. Where ever "there" was, we weren't "there" yet. Something was still holding us in this house. And two months later, on that July night as the toilet water ran through the floor and hit the hood of my car, I realized what that was: Plumbing work and probably lots of it.
I went on Google and found a plumber with good reviews in Clifton Park, and called him up. Yep, trusting total strangers on the Internet. The new referral system. A white-haired guy named Mike showed up an hour later. He replaced my toilet and redid my sink piping for a modest $900.00 dollars. Next his partner would come in and look at the tub/shower. There was no mold, phew, we had some money saved up. So far, so good. Before leaving, Mike, who was a talker, told me he was once an airplane pilot. Of course I asked him, "How do commercial planes NEVER crash?" He explained it to me best he could, the whole it's-safer-than-a-car thing, but I still don't understand. Little did I know my financial plane was about to plummet towards the Earth.
The next morning at 8AM, the doorbell rang, the dogs went crazy which meant WAKE UP, and an Italian guy named Marc was waiting to see the damage. He came in, said he could fix the tub/shower damage for $1100.00. That's it? $2000.00 total with his work and Mike's the day before. Great. Cape Cod could still happen. We told him to go ahead. Of course he couldn't start until the following Monday, which meant my downstairs shower was about to get double duty for four days. And, of course, this double duty helped us to quickly discover that, yep, the downstairs shower leaked too. Of course it did. Cape Cod on life support.
For the next two weeks, starting everyday at 8AM on the dot, Marc's vans rumbled into my driveway, the dogs went crazy, and his team infested my house. Loud music, sledgehammers, and questions ALL DAY LONG. Why do they have to explain EVERYTHING? Just fix it. By the end of week one, I had been ripped out of bed everyday at 8AM (not the worst thing in the world, I know), half asleep and being told that the estimate was going up, up, up, and I did that thing all guys do, nodding along like you know what this plumber is talking about before finally asking, "OK, how much?" This process was much harder still in my sleeping shorts with bed head, eyes filled with little crusties. "OK, how much?" That became my August wake-up call. Since Marc had a slipped disk in his back, I was also ripped out of bed to move the old tub outside and bring the new parts and pieces inside. I love August.
What happened to NYC and July? Why didn't we sell last spring!! We were at a whole new shower and partial remodel upstairs, a shower seal for downstairs = $4000.00. By the end of week two: New shower, new tub, new vanity and FULL remodel = $7000.00. Goodbye Cape Cod. Then—perish the thought—the Fossil bag from Fifth Avenue had to go back. We needed Home Depot money. JERSEY BOYS felt like a lifetime before. In many ways, it was, just ask my poor bank account. Enter rock bottom.
Part Two to follow. Spoiler Alert: I spend more money and almost beat up Marc.

That's why it's always stressful to have any plumbing problem. You have to shell out money just to get everything back to normal. Anyway, it's all worth spending for because ignoring leaks will only lead to greater damage in the future.ReplyDelete
Trusting strangers on the internet – it sounds wrong when you put it that way. But that's how it usually works nowadays, isn't it? That's not always a bad thing, as established companies can now be contacted through their website. As for the customer's end, it's a matter of choosing the ones they deem best. You did the right thing by choosing the one with a number of good reviews. Anyway, I hope they managed to take care of all your plumbing problems. Have a good day!ReplyDelete

In order to prevent the overflow of sewage during rain, the Chennai Metro Water's (CMWSSB) has undertaken a comprehensive citywide rectification project.
The project, which would be jointly carried out with the city corporation, is intended to contain sewer discharge into stormwater drains.
Chennai corporation identified around 1,000 such places where individual sewerage service connections running perpendicular to stormwater drains rupture and thereby discharge sewage into the drains.
CMWSSB received a list of sewerage connections that require rectification. Metro was reported to have done an assessment and set a three-month deadline to arrest sewage discharge.
CMWSSB wants to finish the repair ahead of the ensuing northeast monsoon that normally starts by mid October so that sewer overflow would not occur and floods would recede easily.
Most of the 1,000 vulnerable areas involve individual residential service connections. The board may bear the cost in case of the poor households if the repair involves minor pipe replacement, which should be the case in most of the identified areas, reports indicate.

Hi everyone.. Here today to share a pocket card style layout I created using some fun die cuts and a few sentiment stamps :)
So, fun to create some individual cards and sentiment stamps are perfect for little touches of detail..
Here is what I created:
My three kids are all grown up..
My daughter moved out a while ago, my eldest son is in the army till next March and he will not be home this Christmas, which makes me sad :( Although, he will be able to join us Friday the 26th for the weekend..
I wanted to create something I can add photos of all of my kids onto this Xmas..
since we usually all under the same room during the Christmas holidays..
and this year, were hoping my Mother-in-law will be joining us as well, so everyone keep your fingers crossed..
How about a few close ups:
I used the "Christmas Wishes!" stamp from the Simply Christmas stamp set on this cute little label.
and for this adorable santa face, I cut out a blurb die cut and added the "Ho Ho Ho" which is also from the Simply Christmas stamp set..
Here is the stamp set I used:
and you can buy it HERE
Thanks for stopping by today
and have a great day

It's been six months since I last checked in on operatic singer Kristen Hertzenberg. Earlier this year, the former Phantom—The Las Vegas Spectacular lead was prepping for her Cabaret Jazz debut with her own band. It ended up being an intriguing, satisfying marriage made in blues, country, rock and even (gasp!) hip-hop heaven.
Now Hertzenberg takes another musical detour this weekend when she fronts gypsy-jazz combo Hot Club of Las Vegas at the third annual DjangoVegas!, a concert celebration of legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. Hertzenberg is subbing for Hot Club singer Noybel Gorgoy, currently on tour in Europe. But the academically trained temp has let her hair down with Hot Club before. Her handful of gigs with them a few years ago marked the first time Hertzenberg stepped away from theater to sing with a real, guitar-centric band. Also on the bill: Amsterdam-based Robin Nolan Trio and L.A.'s Icy Hot Club. The music begins at 6 p.m. June 21 at the Historic Fifth Street School (401 S. Fourth St., ArtsLasVegas.org).
Classical-crossover vocalist Marisa Johnson throws an album-release party at 7 p.m. June 20 at the Viva Las Vegas Event Center (1210 Las Vegas Blvd. South). Backed by an eight-piece ensemble and the 20-member Las Vegas Masters Singers, Johnson will unveil a genre-spanning set that includes Radiohead's "Creep," opera song "Libiamo" and folk tune "Shenandoah"—all of it tied together by Johnson's operatic-pop approach.
Later that night (10 p.m. June 20), the Apple Sisters will let fly with a 1940s-song-and-slapstick show, The Jazzy Side of the Tracks, at Inspire Theater (501 Fremont St.). Blending Andrews Sisters-style boogie-harmonies with Three Stooges-esque physical comedy, these super-talented ladies are named Candy, Cora and Seedy—get it?. The Apple Sisters write their own musical and comedic material, and impress on every level. BrownPaperTickets.com.

Rivers are a pair of narrow regions found on the upper-middle and the lower-middle side of the map. There are two rivers connecting the oceans. Each river has a current that pushes most animals and food in the direction of the current. Some animals, like Crocodile, Hippo, and Dragon aren't affected by the current. The two rivers have opposite currents; one goes from left to right and the other right to left. You will evolve easily if you make a circle around the rivers.They don't have sandy beaches, rather they have sharp sides. Food tends to spawn more in rivers, especially starfish. Food from both the land and ocean biomes can be found in the river. There's no point in going backward, as it conflicts with the river's current, but food does flow towards you if you do go against the current.
- It was released on March 24th.
- Only Crocodile, Hippo, Dragon, Sabertooth Tiger, and Black Dragon aren't affected by the river current.
- Many red mushrooms and mushroom spawn in the rivers.
- In the mope.io game files, it actually isn't a single piece, the main river doesn't show up in the game files, only 3 pieces of the current are found here: http://mope.io/img/riverCurrent.png, http://mope.io/img/riverCurrent0.png, http://mope.io/img/riverCurrent1.png
- The river moves much faster on Wild Mope

Last year, a few days after Valentine's Day, I went shopping at Target and bought a bunch of small Valentine heart candy boxes for 10 cents each. Each box had three pieces of chocolate which I ate! I purposed a year ago to save the boxes and through the year, gather together valentine type stuff, and be ready this year to decorate the boxes for my precious granddaughters. Some of the trims I have had for over 40 years.

A couple of days ago I found some of the pearlized buttons you gave me years ago. So they got my creative juices flowing again.
I love you dearly.
Well, I followed your lead and bought some for future projects. I thought they would make cute jewelry boxes for handmade jewelry for gifts. My sister's will be the first trial. I will create her necklace and box this weekend for her birthday. Wish you were here!ReplyDelete

Fully recovered from Tommy John surgery, 2016 Mets first round draft pick (31st overall) Anthony Kay is finally getting his opportunity to show everyone why the Mets drafted him not just once, but twice. More than that, he is showing everyone just how good a pitcher he truly is.
Yesterday, when Kay stepped off the rubber, he had pitched into the seventh inning. That's impressive not only when you consider where has come from, but also because only one Mets pitcher has pitched into the seventh inning this season (Zack Wheeler). After back-to-back hits to start the inning and an economical 89 pitches, Kay would be lifted for a reliever.
While going deep into the game was newsworthy, it was what he did in his first six inning which were the headline.
During those six innings, Kay had his fastball around the mid 90s with him maxing out at 96 MPH. Of the 81 pitches he had thrown to that point, 54 of them went for strikes. With stuff like that and his pounding the strike zone, the Asheville Tourists (Rockies) struck out five times and were only able to muster one earned run on one walk and two hits.
When Kay stepped off the mound with two runners on with a 3-1 lead, he was in line for the win, and with arguably the Fireflies best reliever, Joshua Payne, coming into the game, it seemed as if Kay would be getting his first ever win as a professional pitcher.
Unfortunately, Payne and the rest of the Fireflies bullpen struggled costing not just Kay, but the Fireflies roster the win.
While the outing ended roughly nothing should detract from the fact Kay was absolutely dominant against an Asheville team featuring Ryan Vilade (MLB Pipeline No. 7), Chad Spanberger (MLB Pipeline No. 29), and Bret Boswell (MLB Pipeline No. 30).
Overall, Kay not only pitched well, but he Had a strong outing against some truly talented prospects in the Fireflies 7-6 win. That is a truly encouraging sign for him going forward.

South African strike: Political watershed?
Leonard Gentle
Pambazuka News, 2010-09-09, Issue 495
The public sector strike has been suspended. But whether the unions accept the state's latest offer or not, this strike may well be (and these things we are almost always fated to see only in retrospect) a watershed in South African politics.
Firstly, amidst all the media opprobrium and invective against the strikers and the stories of intimidation, there is also a picture emerging of the appalling state of the public sector.
Whilst the very wealthy and even many middle-class people simply avoid much of the public sector, sourcing health services from medical aids and private hospitals, sending their kids to private schools and living in gated communities cleaned by private companies, most other South Africans are dependent on public healthcare, public schooling and other public services. And not only have these been seriously neglected, the very people who must provide the services – teachers, nurses, state clerical workers – are underpaid and angry enough to hold out for a protracted strike in order to get some improvement.
For a number of years now we have been aware of the widespread protests in townships all over the country known as the service delivery revolts. The frequency and spread of these have impacted so much on public awareness that everyone readily fingered a cause and offered a solution. Parties like the Democratic Alliance (DA) blamed a lack of education and corruption in local municipalities, whilst the African National Congress (ANC) government pointed to poor spending capacity at the municipal level and instituted measures to force mayors and local councillors to deliver, even making them sign 'performance contracts'. On both sides the problem was seen as technical rather than political, as the problem of local authorities and not national government's policy problem, especially with regard to its attitude to public services.
But now we clearly see the problem of public services as a problem of the ANC government's refusal to invest in public services, particularly the human resources required to make public hospitals and schools function properly.
And it is no good that some sections of the media now start to calculate salaries as a percentage of public sector spending, because service delivery is first and foremost about having the people to deliver the services. No one has yet found a way of improving teaching and nursing without having adequate teachers and nurses.
Public sector expenditure, as a whole, actually declined after GEAR (growth, employment and redistribution) in 1996 and only reached pre-1996 levels again in 2006. There is currently a 40 per cent vacancy rate in public hospitals. And while total healthcare expenditure is of the order of 8 per cent of GDP (gross domestic product), the bulk of this is on private healthcare; public healthcare expenditure has hovered around 3 per cent since 1994. Our infant mortality rate groups us with Cambodia, Cote d'Ivoire and Kazakhstan, as a group of only nine countries whose infant mortality rate is actually increasing.
Despite trumpeting the government's commitment to education in the form of the education budget being the biggest percentage of the annual budget, classroom sizes have actually increased since the end of apartheid. Under apartheid, schoolbooks were free for black children, at least those who were able to attend school. Today, under neoliberalism parents have to buy these books and pay school fees as well.
The current anger of schoolteachers is patent in their response to the Department of Education's inflated claims about their salaries in newspaper adverts. Equal Education's campaign for school libraries has shown up so clearly the massive inequalities between the children of the wealthy and the children of the majority today.
Secondly, the strike did take on a wider political significance in that it revealed shifts within the social base of the ANC and its allies.
Since 1994, the ANC has largely abandoned the working class and urban and rural poor, relying on their liberation credits to sew up their vote whilst implementing neoliberal policies such as the privatisation and commercialisation of public services, the lifting of exchange controls and encouraging South Africa's biggest corporations to go offshore and become world players.
Instead the ANC has built up an important base of support among the black middle classes in the form of BEE (black economic empowerment) wannabes and the beneficiaries of affirmative action and the 'greying' of the public sector. This latter layer of teachers, nurses and municipal clerks in the social services and the like were, in a sense, beneficiaries of the new South Africa, taking over roles and functions from which their parents were excluded.
In the main, this layer was pro-ANC and to the extent that they later felt the precariousness of their new-felt status, it could be blamed on Thabo Mbeki and his 'class of '96' project. They found a common cause alongside others in what was called the 'alliance of the wounded' in the campaign to put Jacob Zuma into power.
But the global crisis has begun to bite, not for the super-rich in this country (a Deloitte survey in 2010 indicated that the rich in South Africa have been in the top five countries in the world least affected by the crisis), but for the 1.5 million workers who lost their jobs since 2008, and now the lower-middle classes riddled with debt, high prices and greater intensity of work in poorly resourced public services. A key indicator is the extent of consumer debt – rising to nearly 80 per cent of income by 2009 – and its impact on the living standards of the lower-middle classes.
With South Africa having one of the highest real interest rates in the world (despite the recent drop of the repossession rate to 6 per cent), debt seriously engulfs teachers, nurses and other white-collar workers. The major source of this debt is not discretionary, wasteful credit card expenditure on luxuries, but the necessary expenditure on what can be regarded as essentials, particularly housing. It is significant that one of the key sticking points in the public sector strike was the housing subsidy.
The significance of the public sector strike is that it is these people – the rank and file of NEHAWU (National Education Health and Allied Workers Union) and SADTU (South African Democratic Teachers Union) and the PSL – who took everyone by surprise with their willingness to strike and the desperation with which they refused to back down. It is significant that some of the most recalcitrant strikers were teachers and nurses. It is also significant that the composition of the Independent Labour Caucus (ILC) unions is also white-collar.
COSATU (Congress of South African Trade Unions), in this regard, has also changed in composition from a largely blue-collar working-class formation in the 1980s and 1990s to the largely public sector, white-collar federation it is today. Although the National Union of Mineworkers is still the biggest single union, the bulk of membership is now drawn from NEHAWU, SADTU, CWU (Communication Workers Union), SAMWU (South African Municipal Workers Union), POPCRU (Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union) and so on. Nearly a third of COSATU's members now have degrees.
This changing composition of COSATU has seen the centre of gravity of mass struggles shift towards the township poor, who have been those waging service-delivery struggles almost unabated for the last five years. These have been struggles largely waged by the unemployed, the never-employed youth and the 'grannies'.
We now know that the leaderships of the COSATU public sector unions were drawn into this strike reluctantly. They didn't want the strike and did little preparation. The main reason for endorsing the idea of a strike was that the ILC had opted for it. Faced with the prospect of being outflanked and fearing the consequences of militant action conducted outside its ranks (this echoed what happened in the 2007 strikes when the doctors carried on striking despite the fact that their union had settled), COSATU unions had little choice but to come out.
This lack of preparation explains much of the desperation with which the strike therefore had to be conducted. There were no ballots amongst members in advance and none of the rounds of local meetings at workplaces to canvass the feelings of members and prepare for sustained action. There was even less of what was always attempted in the past – meetings with communities to explain the aims of the strike and to gain their support.
But what of the state? Why did they not prepare and why did they assume that the unions would simply back down? Unless one goes along with the ludicrous notion that their negotiators were incompetent, it is interesting to speculate on what their motives were for simply declaring that their initial offer was 'final'.
On the one hand they were party to the feelings of the trade union leaders and knew of their reluctance to strike. Their negotiators clearly knew that the agreement reached after the last public sector strike in 2007 included a compromise to have the Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) and that there would be negotiations only in three years' time (2010), which would be in the year of the World Cup. They therefore had three years of planning to avoid the showdown that transpired. All the parties were happy to allow the negotiations to amble along so that their climax would not to be reached during the World Cup.
One reason is that, economically, they simply didn't have space to manoeuvre. The global economic crisis, the need to rein in expenditure after the World Cup and so on, would have forced the state to dig in its heels. But why then were the transport and electricity workers able to win 8 per cent? Surely having caved in to that sector, it was unrealistic to expect public sector workers not to regard this figure as the non-negotiable benchmark?
Another reason is that they suspected that the close political partnership between COSATU and the Zuma government (particularly with COSATU being one of the main forces driving Zuma into office) might ensure that the union leadership would give the state's negotiators an easy ride. Given the initial unwillingness of COSATU unions to consider a strike, they may not have been wrong in this reasoning.
A more likely reason is that the state deliberately sought confrontation. Knowing the political balance of forces within the ANC, knowing that Zwelinzima Vavi and COSATU have become defensive within the ANC after their Polokwane victory (including Vavi having to face possible disciplinary charges), they thought that COSATU would not go for a strike. And if their hand was forced through the initiative of the ILC then the strike would be an opportunity to break the unions quite decisively through a failed strike.
The bellicose language of the Public Service and Administration Minister Richard Baloyi (threatening strikers) as well as Zuma, whilst they and the state's mouthpiece, the SABC (South African Broadcasting Corporation), focused on demonising the striking workers in the court of public opinion (note the barrage of visuals of intimidation) seem to support this argument.
But no one took the mood of the strikers themselves seriously, or that of the plight of the lower-middle classes in South Africa driven to despair by high interest rates, debt, high costs and inadequate pay.
There may well be a political price to pay for the ANC, particularly those associated with the Zuma project, in the future. In the short term we may see a new 'coalition of the wounded' emerge by the time of the ANC's presidential elections in 2012. In the mid to longer term we may be seeing the ongoing drip-drip of disillusionment among key sectors of the ANC's historical base, grow into a political break.
In all this there has also been an opportunity for the media to act out its claims to providing the public with information, without kowtowing to vested interests, particularly that of the state.
In the main, however, the media's coverage of the strike has been in the style of embedded journalism. Volunteers who have gone to state hospitals have been interviewed and given the chance to tell their stories, but not striking workers. The plight of learners missing exam preparations and people being denied emergency services has been highlighted. Economists have been citing figures indicating that service delivery may have to be traded off against salaries.
Whether radio, television or print, they all lined up to condemn the strikers and unleashed a tide of anti-striker sentiment amongst their listeners, viewers and readers.
It is interesting that in the midst of a (legitimate) campaign by the media to defend freedom of expression – a campaign in which the media has set itself up as the champion of the free flow of information and the right of the public to know – these same rights were not extended to the striking teachers and nurses, where the media largely lined up alongside the state to demonise the strikers.
In the 1980s, the mainstream media grappled with their reporting on 'the riots' or the 'unrest' as the SABC spoke of the anti-apartheid struggle then. Pioneer editors had to hire intrepid black journalists to go behind the burning barricades and hear the stories of activists burning tyres and to bear witness to police brutality.
How can editors pay lip service to the constitution, including the right to strike, and yet almost universally condemn poor people – poor middle-class people in this case – who are exercising this right?
Slowly, slowly, a new movement begins to peep out from under the skirts of the alliance. Up to now it's been the very poor, the unemployed, the shack dwellers and backyard dwellers that have been carrying this load. Now the lower-middle classes have begun to join in. It would be wishful thinking to suggest that there is already some kind of common cause between them and the teachers and nurses of the public sector – there has been no evidence of solidarity action so far. But the nature of the public sector strike suggests that that day may not be far off.

Four has very much been the magic number for Paris Saint-Germain this season, so much so that I've used up my stock of quartet-related headline puns.
PSG have hit four goals in eight different league and cup games this season, the latest coming on Friday as we took a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 with victory in Toulouse. Lyon's surprise defeat at struggling Ajaccio today means that we also have an 13 goal advantage over Remi Garde's men in the goal difference stakes.
The victory in Toulouse was so comfortable it could have been on sale in the luxury section at DFS. We received a helping hand from the home side, who defended abysmally at times in the first half, not least when Ezequiel Lavezzi sprung a raggedy offside trap to reach Zlatan's lofted pass. Lavezzi's far post cross found Javier Pastore, who hit his half-volley down into the ground and saw it bounce up past goalkeeper Ahamada and a defender on the line before finding the back of the net.
Pastore got a deserved recall to the starting line-up after an impressive showing as a substitute against Lille. And he was in good form on Friday night, though it should be noted that he usually thrives in the kind of games where he's given acres of space to work his magic.
Toulouse had a few shots from distance, but nothing that looked likely to trouble the seemingly unbeatable Salvatore Sirigu, and Pastore and Lucas had gone close by the time Ibra took his tally for the season to 20 to make it 2-0. Lucas provided the ammunition with a delightful cross, and the Swede was unchallenged as he nodded past Ahamada. Remarkably Zlatan has scored in every away game he's played this season in Ligue 1, and he's eight goals ahead of his nearest rival in the 'race' for the golden boot.
It went from bad to worse for the home side when Chiek M'Bengue was shown a red-card three minutes before half-time. Having been harshly booked for a foul on Lucas near half-way, M'Bengue made a rash lunge on the Brazilian down by the corner flag to earn a second booking.
Having done his work for the night, referee Chapron went off with an injury at half-time, and his replacement Sebastien Desiage turned down a couple of half-hearted Toulouse penalty appeals in the opening minutes of the second period.
But it was at the other end where most of the action was occurring, with Zlatan and Ahamada involved in a personal duel which, to his credit, the keeper probably won. He denied Ibra with a diving save after good work from Pastore, then made an athletic parry to tip the ball over the bar after a great piece of skill from the striker saw him dig out a goal-bound lob from the edge of the box. When Zlatan finally did beat the keeper moments later, a defender cleared his shot off the line.
More goals weren't far away though, and another delicious centre from Lucas allowed Sakho to gobble up his first goal of the season at the back post. Two minutes later terrific foot work from Ibra saw him glide past three tackles before setting up substitute Gregory van der Wiel for a simple tap-in.
With PSG performing so well, the question is where does David Beckham fit in? Nobody seems to know, but what is certain is that after the game the club's great and good were queuing up to kiss Golden Balls' golden backside.
"He is humble and of good character," said Ancelotti. "As a coach, if you have 20 players like Beckham in the squad it makes the job easier."
"He's really an example," added Leonardo, looking smugger than Piers Morgan/Bono hybrid having finally got his man. "He is very strict with himself and accepts this challenge as he feels he has the ability to do things on the pitch.
"He sees himself as a player, and is not there to laugh and take pictures but to win games and titles. He is committed to it, and is not here for any other purpose."
Well that clears that one up then, ahem. Apparently the players aren't immune to Beckham-mania either - even the mighty Zlatan seems to be under his spell; "He has a lot of experience and qualities, especially mental qualities, because it is a winner," said he Swede. "This is what we need and he will be a great help. I do not know the date of his arrival but I'm sure he will do great things in Paris."
"For younger people, it will help us to raise our level of play," said Blaise Matuidi. "He made us dream with his magic feet. I hope he will continue in Paris"
Becks and his, er, magic feet are due to start training on February 16, so we're not likely to see him in action before the end of the month.

Toulouse 0-4 PSG: Parisiens cruise as TFC snooze
Four has very much been the magic number for Paris Saint-Germain this season, so much so that I've used up my stock of quartet-related headline puns.

The name sounds more like a sci-fi character than a legitimate news source, but blogs are rapidly becoming authoritative news sources. PR professionals should keep this new type of media on their radar screens.
Read more.
Now that companies can buy or access media lists and post press releases, some of them seem to think that the efforts of public relation professionals are superfluous. They take the do-it-yourself approach a little too far, and find themselves with the kind of publicity and relationships with the media that they really dont want.
Ok, we admit it. Maybe we are just a tad biased. However, this book makes a case for the argument that public relations professionals have held for years that good public relations is essential to building a brand while advertisings place is in a maintenance role.
Everyone talks about how fast things move now. Public relations professionals need to be more organized and able to handle crises in minutes, when before they may have had hours or even days.
We have gone from a time when reports were sent via telex and phone (the early sixties Cuban missile crisis is a good example) to real time reporting direct from the center of the action via satellite. Think of how short the lead time was for the public relations people who were trying to handle the Enron mess.

With my first day of my senior year just 12 days away, I have sadly begun my back to school preparations. Having a successful and safe school year with food allergies is very possible with a little planning and communication! Here is a list of all my basic back to school tips and tricks!
– Review your schools anaphylaxis policy! If you live in Ontario look over Sabrina's Law to see what steps need to be taken by you/your child, your teacher and your principal to ensure your safety.
– Keep a spare auto injector in your schools office.
– Always keep your auto injector with you. Lockers are great for binders and gym shoes but in the event of anaphylaxis, you want to be prepared!
– Bring letters for your teachers about your allergies. Being told a lot of information at once can make it hard to remember. By bringing in a letter explaining your allergies and how they need to be handled, will help your teachers understand and realize that this is a serious situation.
– You can also bring extra copies for the teacher to keep on hand for supply teachers. I have had an anaphylactic reaction in class when we had a supply teacher and if they are not informed it can be pretty hectic and scary.
– Bring in some epipen and allerject trainers and practise how to use them with your teachers and administrative staff. People often forget little details and steps over the summer!
– Write and review your emergency plan
– Wear some sort of medical I.d
– Make sure at least one person in each class is aware of your allergies.
– communication is key! To have a successful and reaction free school year you need to communicate with peers, teachers, staff and your parents. Never be afraid to tell your teacher or peers if you are not feeling well or comfortable with a situation. For along time I was very afraid to tell someone when I was having an anaphylactic reaction, but trust me its a lot safer to take action as soon as you begin experiencing a reaction.
– don't hold yourself back! There is no reason for your allergies to stop you from attending the football game or class potluck. Communicate and prepare and everything will go great.
– Fill out all medical paperwork as fast as possible. No matter how long you have been attending a school it still needs to be done and reviewed every year!
With my senior year approaching I am realizing I don't have much time left before I go on too a new chapter in my life! This year I want to make great memories with my friends before it is all over. There is nothing holding me back from having a fun and memorable year… not even my allergies!
Are you ready for back to school? Have any tips to add?

Cannabinoids did not reduce muscle spasticity in stable multiple sclerosisPDF
ACP J Club. 2004 May-Jun;140:69. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-2004-140-3-069
Clinical Impact Ratings
Source Citation
Zajicek J, Fox P, Sanders H, et al. Cannabinoids for treatment of spasticity and other symptoms related to multiple sclerosis (CAMS study): multicentre randomised placebo-controlled trial. Lancet. 2003;362:1517-26. [PubMed ID: 14615106]
In patients with stable multiple sclerosis (MS), are cannabinoids (oral cannabis extract [OCE] or synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol [SΔ9-THC]) effective for reducing MS-related muscle spasticity?
15-week randomized (allocation concealed*), blinded (clinicians, patients, data collectors, outcome assessors, and monitoring committee),* placebo-controlled trial.
33 neurology and rehabilitation centers in the United Kingdom.
657 patients 18 to 64 years of age who had had clinically definite or laboratory-supported MS with problematic spasticity (Ashworth score ≥ 2) for the previous 6 months. Exclusion criteria included ischemic heart disease, infection or use of medication that could exacerbate spasticity, fixed-tendon contractures, and severe cognitive impairment. 630 patients (mean age 51 y, 66% women) were included in the intention-to-treat analysis.
Patients were allocated to an OCE containing Δ9-THC and cannabidiol as the main cannabinoids (n = 219), SΔ9-THC (n = 216), OCE placebo (n = 108), or SΔ9-THC placebo (n = 114), taken twice daily after food for 14 weeks. Study medication was titrated to a maximum possible dose of 25 mg daily. The 2 placebo groups were combined into 1 group for data analysis purposes.
Main outcome measures
Change from baseline in MS-related muscle spasticity (0 to 4 Ashworth score of spasticity [0 = normal, 1 = slight catch when the limb is moved, 2 = anything more than a catch but not restricting movement, 3 = considerable increase in tone limiting passive flexion, and 4 = limb rigidity in flexion or extension] assessed before treatment, and during weeks 1, 6, 10, and 13 of treatment).
Main results
Analysis was by intention to treat. The OCE and SΔ9-THC groups did not differ from placebo for change from baseline to the 13th week of treatment in MS-related muscle spasticity (Table).
In patients with stable multiple sclerosis (MS), cannabinoids (oral cannabis extract or synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol) were not effective for reducing MS-related muscle spasticity.

Table. Oral cannabis extract (OCE) or synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (SΔ9-THC) vs placebo in stable multiple sclerosis at 13 weeks†
|Difference between groups (95% CI)
|Change from baseline in muscle spasticity (0 to 4 Ashworth scale scores)
|OCE vs placebo
|1.24 vs 0.92
|0.32 (−1.04 to 1.67)‡
|SΔ9-THC vs placebo
|1.86 vs 0.92
|0.94 (−0.44 to 2.31)‡
†CI defined in Glossary.
‡Not significant.
It has been suggested that marijuana has a beneficial effect on various MS-related symptoms, including spasticity, pain, and tremor. A survey in Canada (1) reported that 43% of 420 responders to a survey (62% response rate) had tried marijuana, 16% for medicinal purposes. The study by Zajicek and colleagues is larger and, hence, more powerful than the previous studies of cannabinoids in MS.
Patients in this trial were using other antispasticity drugs and physical therapy treatments, albeit at a stable dose or regimen. The study did not attempt to address the effectiveness of cannabinoids relative to conventional antispasticity drugs. Blinding was successful for the assessor but not for the treating neurologist or patients. No effect on the primary spasticity outcome, the Ashworth score, was observed. However, a statistically significant 12% (95% CI 6 to 21) improvement on timed walking was observed in the SΔ9-THC group compared with 4% (CI 0 to 10) and 4% (CI −2 to 7) in the OCE and placebo groups, respectively. Compared with the placebo group, the improvement in the SΔ9-THC group seemed to be in the baseline 10-meter walk time rather than in the "on treatment" walk time. Also, a substantial reduction in self-reported pain, spasms, and spasticity was observed.
Insensitivity of the Ashworth score as a measure of spasticity may have contributed to the negative result. An analgesic effect of the cannabinoids may have contributed to the improved gait, but a strong placebo effect with a 35% improvement in pain in the placebo group was also reported. Much of the benefit may actually be related to treatment or placebo effects on the psyche of patients rather than an effect on spasticity. Pharmacodynamics of the active interventions were not assessed. Whether serum levels achieved in this study are similar to those achieved by patients who smoke marijuana has yet to be determined (such studies are in progress). This study does not give much support to the use of marijuana for its effects on spasticity resulting from MS.

Let me just say that Sofia Vergara is way too hot to be real, but, apparently she a living, breathing Latina sex symbol. So here's the question: is there someone hotter than her? Assuming you've read the title, you'll see where I'm going to. Yes, there are at least 9 Latina celebs who are even sexier than Sofia. Some of them are models, other are actresses, or singers. Either way, with a list like this, everyone's a winner!
Here are 9 Latina babes who might give Sofia Vergara a run for her money!
1. Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra is a Brazilian Victoria's Secret Angel, and, generally, one of the sexiest women on Earth. She may not know how to sells that sexy underwear, but holy hell, can she flaunt it like a boss. Not to mention her countless bikini photoshoots. And, of course, as it is with every hot gal, Alessandra is already married and has two kids. Yeah, look at that body, and believe it!
2. Jessica Alba
I first saw Alba in that 90's Dark Angel series, and, goddamit, it was love at first sight… Wait, is it still okay to have a crush on a TV character today, or is it considered weird? Anyway, yeah, Jessica Alba. Man, where do I start. She's probably been on every "TOP 10 HOTTEST" list ever. Oh, and that scene in Fantastic Four? Brilliant way to sexualize Sue Storm aka Invisible Woman. That's all you need to know. Vergara doesn't stand a chance.
3. Adriana Lima
Aside from being the most gorgeous, divorced (!!!) mother of two, Adriana Lima was proclaimed the "most valuable" Victoria's Secret model of 2017. Which basically means she has the strongest following and presence on social media. By the time she was 18 years old, she was already a Victoria's Secret Angel. So you know this beauty belongs here.
4. Michelle Rodriguez
You may have seen Michelle Rodriguez as Letty in the Fast and Furious movies (which is 16 years old, BTW). She is the kind of a crazy (but hot) chick you don't want to mess with. With hobbies like tactical gun training and skydiving, I'd definitely not want to mess with her.
5. Eva Mendes
I call her the Latina Marilyn Monroe (because of that sexy mole, obviously). This Cuban-American hottie is in her 40's, but looks like she's 25. Eva Mendes is definitely a bombshell Latina with all the required prerequisites! Maybe she's not the greatest actress in Hollywood, but who are we to judge her *stares at her pics for 10 minutes*?
6. Shakira
The hottest Colombian singer out there with hips that don't lie, would also like to challenge Vergara! Fans love her live gigs, as well as her incredible "wild" voice. On the stage Shakira combines Latin moves with a raunchy, saucy, and sexy belly dancing. Believe it or not, she's got two kids already and she's not even married. And just to prove how hot she is, Mattel put out hot Barbies based on her stunning body and face. This woman is a national treasure!
7. Zoe Saldana
Unless you're one of the 2 and a half people who have not seen James Cameron's Avatar, the new Star Trek movies, OR the Guardians of the Galaxy, you have no idea who Zoe Saldana is. And you should be ashamed. Zoe is a sizzling-hot Dominican/Puerto Rican actress who is equally sexy and talented. She's totally down-to-earth too, constantly reminding the fans she is a sci-fi geek. What's not to like?
8. Selena Gomez
Remember when Selena Gomez was relevant? Awww, that was like 5 years ago and lasted for maybe 2 months. But, anyway, this list is not about having talent, it's about the looks. And like it or not, Selena is one hot momma! She's a kind of sultry, slightly innocent hot girl that every guy loves. The perfect girl-next-door. Oh, and she's only 24, so maybe by the time she's 40, she'll be famous for something else!
9. Eva Longoria
The one and only, (possibly) the hottest Latina in existence – Eva Longoria, aka the most desperate of all the housewives. Recently, she did a photoshoot for S&M magazine, complete with a whip, skimpy leather outfits, and a ba-a-a-ad attitude. Go on, Google that; you don't need to thank me.
So who do you think is the hottest of these 10 (Sofia Vergara included, of course)? Let us know in the comments!
