One week after Haiti quake UN photographer helps rescue survivor

On 11 October 2019

Mr. Abassi, who works with the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), was trailing police officers who fired shots into the air to disperse a crowd looting a store yesterday. As he passed the rubble of the Haitian public telecommunications building, he was alerted to the possibility of a survivor trapped in the debris.Scrambling to the top of the mountain of rubble, he heard a voice and saw the hand of Pierre-Louis Ronny, 43, a telecom worker, which was stuck between two concrete blocks.Mr. Ronny said that he was hungry and thirsty, and as the photographer gave him water, he flagged down two trucks carrying Russian search-and-rescue teams on the street.The telecom worker, who was working on the second floor of the building when the 7.0 magnitude tremor struck Port-au-Prince last Tuesday, was pulled from the rubble and given first aid by a Russian doctor.Mr. Abassi lamented that the rescued man’s hand will likely be amputated, but expressed satisfaction that Mr. Ronny was able to call his wife to let her know he was alive before being transported to a hospital for care. 20 January 2010Little did Logan Abassi, a United Nations photographer, imagine that he would help to save a life when he hit the streets of the Haitian capital to capture images of looters one week after the catastrophic earthquake struck the impoverished Caribbean country. read more

Still no conclusions about existence of Iraqs weapons Blix tells Security Council

On 6 October 2019

The top United Nations weapons inspector for Iraq warned today against jumping to the conclusion that weapons of mass destruction existed just because they were unaccounted for, but cautioned also against concluding that such programmes had ended in cases where the previous regime had not accounted for them. “I trust that in the new environment in Iraq, in which there is full access and cooperation, and in which knowledgeable witnesses should no longer be inhibited to reveal what they know, it should be possible to establish the truth we all want to know,” Hans Blix, Executive Chairman of the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), told the Security Council in an open briefing. Presenting UNMOVIC’s thirteenth quarterly report, Mr. Blix stressed that the Commission, which worked in Iraq from November up to the eve of hostilities on 19 March, had found no evidence of the continuation or resumption of programmes of weapons of mass destruction or significant quantities of proscribed items, such as biological or chemical ingredients. “As I have noted before, this does not necessarily mean that such items could not exist,” he said. “They might – there remain long lists of items unaccounted for – but it is not justified to jump to the conclusion that something exists just because it is unaccounted for.” On the other hand, noting that the long list of proscribed items unaccounted for had not been shortened by inspections or Iraqi explanations, Mr. Blix said it was the Iraqis’ task to present unaccounted items if they existed, or provide the evidence that they did not. “If – for whatever reason – this is not done, the international community cannot have confidence that past programmes or any remaining parts of them have been terminated,” he added. On the issue of mobile laboratories for banned weapons, which forces from the United States say they have now found, Mr. Blix said neither the information the Iraqis had presented nor the pictures they had provided matched descriptions recently made available to the Commission as well as to the media by the United States. “At UNMOVIC we cannot, of course, make a proper evaluation of the depicted vehicles on the basis of published material alone,” he added. Mr. Blix, who retires from his post this month, said UNMOVIC remained ready to resume work in Iraq as an independent verifier or to conduct long-term monitoring, should the Council so decide. The United States has said it sees no immediate role for UN inspectors. “The core expertise and experience available within UNMOVIC remain a valuable asset, which the Security Council could use where the services of an independent body would be required for verification or monitoring,” he noted. “This might be of particular value in the field of biological weapons and missiles for which there exists no international verification organization.” After the meeting, the President of the 15-nation body, Ambassador Sergey Lavrov of the Russian Federation, said members paid tribute to Mr. Blix for his leadership and dedication in guiding the work of UNMOVIC in pursuit of the disarmament of Iraq. Council members “expressed their sincere gratitude to Dr. Hans Blix for his service, and appreciation for the efforts undertaken by him and his team to implement the mandate of UNMOVIC in accordance with the Security Council’s resolutions,” he said in a press statement.

US pipeline project pushes Enbridge Energy Partners to US406million loss

On 3 October 2019

U.S. pipeline project pushes Enbridge Energy Partners to US$406-million loss by The Canadian Press Posted Oct 31, 2016 6:01 am MDT Last Updated Oct 31, 2016 at 10:40 am MDT AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to TwitterTwitterShare to FacebookFacebookShare to RedditRedditShare to 電子郵件Email HOUSTON – Enbridge Energy Partners said it lost US$406 million in its third quarter, primarily due to the indefinite deferral of the proposed Sandpiper pipeline in the U.S. Midwest.The limited partnership managed by Calgary-based Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) announced in September that it would shelve the long-delayed $2.6-billion Sandpiper pipeline because of a drop in expected crude oil production in North Dakota.The decision followed Enbridge’s formation of a joint venture to buy a stake in the Bakken pipeline system that would transport oil from North Dakota across the Midwest to Texas.EEP’s US$1.5-billion deal to buy a 27.6 per cent stake in the system has yet to close, though it was originally expected to be finalized by the end of September.The Bakken pipeline system includes the Dakota Access pipeline that continues to be subject to high-profile protests from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other First Nations.Protesters have pulled in US$3 million for legal costs to challenge the pipeline as well as for food and other supplies to continue the protest into the winter.Enbridge Energy Partners declined to say on an analyst conference call Monday what conditions were holding up the closing of the Bakken deal.After adjustments that excluded the charge related to Sandpiper and other items, EEP’s net income was US$89.3 million or nine cents per share in the quarter ending Sept. 30, down from US$137.4 million or 23 cents per share in the third quarter of 2015.EEP’s revenue was US$1.12 billion, down from US$1.127 billion a year earlier. read more

UK government loses Brexit case must consult Parliament

On 3 October 2019

LONDON – Britain’s government must get parliamentary approval before starting the process of leaving the European Union, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, potentially delaying Prime Minister Theresa May’s plans to trigger negotiations by the end of March.The 8-3 ruling forces the government to put a bill before Parliament, giving pro-EU politicians a chance to soften the terms of Brexit — Britain’s exit from the EU. “Leave” campaigners had objected, saying Parliament shouldn’t have the power to overrule the electorate, which voted to leave the bloc in a June 23 referendum.The Supreme Court’s decision doesn’t mean that Britain will remain in the EU. But it could delay the process — though May’s Downing Street office said its timetable remained on track.May had said she would use centuries-old powers known as royal prerogative to invoke Article 50 of the EU treaty and launch two years of exit talks. The powers — traditionally held by the monarch —permit decisions about treaties and other issues to be made without a vote of Parliament.“The referendum is of great political significance, but the act of Parliament which established it did not say what should happen as a result, so any change in the law to give effect to the referendum must be made in the only way permitted by the U.K. Constitution, namely by an act of Parliament,” the president of the Supreme Court David Neuberger said in reading the judgment.“To proceed otherwise would be a breach of settled constitutional principles stretching back many centuries,” he said.The case was considered the most important constitutional issue in a generation, clarifying who ultimately wields power in Britain’s system of government: the prime minister and her Cabinet, or Parliament.Financial entrepreneur Gina Miller sued to force the government to seek Parliamentary approval before invoking Article 50. Leaving the EU will change the fundamental rights of citizens and this can’t be done without a vote of lawmakers, she argued.May had argued the referendum gave her a mandate to take Britain out of the 28-nation bloc and that discussing the details of her strategy with Parliament would weaken the government’s negotiating position.Significantly, the court also ruled that parts of the United Kingdom — Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — do not need to be consulted. Had the court ruled that the “devolved” Parliaments needed a say, a significant delay to the process would have been likely as lawmakers from the regions piled in with concerns.The government moved quickly to say it would offer its plans in detail to the House of Commons on Tuesday afternoon. Legal experts suggest that May will try to keep the scope of the legislation narrow — focusing solely on triggering Article 50 — in order to limit the chance for amendments that could delay a vote.But opposition became evident immediately. Opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the party would seek to amend the legislation to make sure the government is “accountable.” The Scottish National Party, the third largest party in the House of Commons, promised to offer 50 amendments.“Today’s result comes as a surprise to no one. Unfortunately for businesses and other institutions, Brexit still means uncertainty,” said Phillip Souta, head of U.K. public policy at law firm Clifford Chance. “Parliament remains divided and the outcome of the negotiations remain unknown.”The bill could also be subject to delay in the unelected House of Lords.“Defeat in the House of Lords would not stop Brexit from happening, but it could delay it until mid-2020,” Souta said.Miller, an online investment manager, had argued the case wasn’t about blocking Brexit. Instead, she said, it was about “democracy” and the “dangerous precedent” that a government can overrule Parliament.For Miller, who brought the case with hairdresser Deir Dos Santos, the Supreme Court judges brought vindication after months of threats to her security that followed her involvement in the case.“No prime minister, no government can expect to be unanswerable or unchallenged,” she said. “Parliament alone is sovereign.”The case revolved around an argument that dates back almost 400 years to the English Civil War as to whether power ultimately rests in the executive or Parliament.Underscoring the importance of the case, May put Attorney General Jeremy Wright in charge of the legal team fighting the suit. Wright had argued the suit is an attempt to put a legal obstacle in the way of enacting the referendum result.The decision is a bad defeat for the government and means that the government “still does not have control of the Brexit timetable,” said David Allen Green, lawyer at London legal firm Preiskel & Co.“The appeal decision is, however, a victory for the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty and a vindication of an independent judiciary,” Green said. “The Supreme Court has told the government to get back into its box: A proper process has to be followed.” UK government loses Brexit case, must consult Parliament by Danica Kirka, The Associated Press Posted Jan 24, 2017 3:49 am MDT Last Updated Jan 24, 2017 at 6:47 am MDT AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to TwitterTwitterShare to FacebookFacebookShare to RedditRedditShare to 電子郵件Email read more

Intoxication alimentaire la toxine botulique entraîne un décès en Corse

first_img Intoxication alimentaire : la toxine botulique entraîne un décès en CorseCorse – Mercredi dernier, un jeune homme appelait les pompiers car sa compagne et lui ressentaient vertiges et malaises. Au cours de leur transfert vers l’hôpital de Bastia, la jeune femme âgée de 18 ans décède, alors que ses parents, victimes des mêmes symptômes sont héliportés jusqu’au centre hospitalier. Il s’avère que la famille a participé à un dîner dont les aliments mal stérilisés et issus d’une conserve familiale ont laissé se développer la toxine botulique.Cette toxine, également utilisée en chirurgie esthétique faciale, provoque une paralysie musculaire. Elle a, dans le cas présent, entraîné la mort en bloquant les muscles respiratoires. Les parents de la victime ne sont plus hospitalisés mais restent sous surveillance médicale afin de procéder à des examens complémentaires. Les trois autres personnes qui ont participé à ce dîner, n’ayant présenté aucun symptôme, n’ont pas été hospitalisées. Ce type de drame reste assez exceptionnel en France, où seulement 20 cas par an sont habituellement détectés.Le 24 septembre 2010 à 16:30 • Emmanuel Perrin last_img read more

Early Voters Set Records In Greater Houston Area

On 2 September 2019

Florian MartinA sign at the Acres Homes Multi-Service Center points voters to the voting booths.Early voting ended last Friday, and nearly 4.5 million Texans in the state’s 15 largest counties cast early ballots in person or through the mail. That’s more than 46 percent of registered voters. The Secretary of State says that exceeds the previous record set before the 2008 election. In Harris County, there were 882,580 early in-person voters, and 94,699 mail ballots have been returned. That’s over 977,000 early voters.Houston Public Media’s Coverage of Election 2016 They’ve also broken records in Galveston County. About 49 percent of the registered voters there have cast ballots. “Well, if you look at the results from the November 2012 election, which was a record for us, we had 111,766 people vote. We’re now, as I said, over 102,000, so we’re going to break that record,” says Chief Deputy Clerk for Elections Bill Sargent. In Montgomery County, a total of 156,816 voters cast early ballots, with another 11,554 mail-in ballots. Rice University Political Science Professor Bob Stein says heavy early voting can be attributed partially to anticipation of long lines on Election Day. “I think the other reason, also, is we’re seeing a big, big jump in Hispanic voting. And I suspect here what you have are a lot of voters who have been attentive to the campaign, have made their minds up well in advance of Election Day, and they see no reason not to vote for fear that they might be unable to vote on Election Day for any number of reasons — busy schedules, children, it might rain,” he says. Stein says knowing that there are going to be more voters this election made people realize that early voting is more convenient.“I think what voters do is they look at what they have to do on Election Day and they look at whether or not they are able to vote on Election Day closest to their home. Voters make a trade-off between the time they wait in line and the convenience of voting near their home,” he says. Texas set a record for statewide registered voters at more than 15.1 million this election cycle, or nearly 80 percent of the state’s estimated voting age population.

Switzerlands Smallest Picturesque Mountain Village to be Converted to a Hotel

On 30 August 2019

Known for having picturesque villages that cling to lakefront mountain cliffs, Switzerland’s countryside is gorgeous. Despite its beautiful and serene outlook, a majority of its residents are unable to resist the city and have since migrated there. This mass migration has put some of Switzerland’s rural towns and villages on the brink of extinction. This seemed like the fate of Corippo, Switzerland’s smallest mountain village until an unexpected intervention reports News.com.au. Corippo, a village at an altitude of 600 meters (1,968 feet) above sea level, located in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino in Switzerland had a thriving community in its small piazzas along with a little church.The villages of San Bartolomeo and Corippo, Verzasca Valley in the Swiss AlpsAccording to Swissinfo, this small village has its own coat of arms, a church, and a restaurant. At its peak, Corippo boasted 294 households. Now, this tiny mountain hamlet is staring extinction in the face as there are currently just 12 permanent residents inhabiting the village.AdChoices广告inRead invented by TeadsThe New York Times in August 2017 reported that Corippo had a community of 300 people as recently as the 1990s, but that three of its 12 remaining residents don’t plan to stay much longer. An interesting fact to note is that of the 12 inhabitants of this small village, just one is below the age of 65, the New York Times pointed out.Granite stone house in the Italian part of Switzerland (Corippo/Ticino)The BBC reported last year that the last employed resident in the small village, its mayor Claudio Scettrini (aged 54) resigned from his post, along with two women (aged 67 and 82) with lack of motivation cited as the reason for their decision.Now here’s the catch. A local foundation known as Foundazione Corippo 1975 thinks that this picturesque 19th century village should be saved from extinction and are making efforts to raise $6.5 million to transform it into a hotel. The “Corippo 75” foundation — formed by national authorities, the Ticino region and the village itself — sees the village’s beautiful stone buildings, narrow alleys and grand views as a center of tourist attraction.The rural village of Corippo in Verzasca Valley, SwitzerlandThey plan to use the money generated to open 30 of the village’s 70 buildings to paying guests. They hope that the number of visitors would outnumber the permanent residents in this mountain hamlet if their plan is successfully implemented.With a successful trial of their proposed model having been carried out in Italy, the proposed hotel — which will be named Albergo Corippo — would change the village’s restaurant (Osteria) into a reception area with hotel rooms made out of the cottages. Several homes have already been acquired by the foundation who plan to name these homes after families who lived in them for centuries.Related Video: Drone captures amazing abandoned mountain top villageCNN reports that Osteria will be expanded to also serve as the hotel’s dining room, the public squares will be converted into community spaces, while the mill and bakery will undergo renovations.

While Allegro diffuses are a lucrative business in Italy, Corippo would be the first such trial in Switzerland.Changes have already been made, as the first two-bedroom property was opened to guests in the summer of 2018. It is hoped that the hotel will be opened in 2020 according to the foundation, with a total overhaul of the village’s town square and restaurant to take place in stages.Street in the Village of Corippo, TicinoOf the $6.5 million expected to complete this project, the BBC reports that $2.7 million has already been generated through public funding and loans.Read another story from us: The World’s Oldest Housing Complex Where Rent Hasn’t Gone Up For 500 YearsBut before the village opens up for business by 2020 as the foundation expects, the single Casa Arcotti cottage can be rented by visitors at approximately $135 per night. read more

first_img News | September 28, 2009 AHRQ Offering $100M for Comparative Effectiveness September 28, 2009 – The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality plans to provide $100 million in stimulus funding in the coming fiscal year to support studies of the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, including personalized healthcare approaches, such as pharmacogenetics, clinical diagnostics, and bio-imaging studies.These research programs may last up to three years and may receive up to $10 million in total costs, with up to $4 million in costs per year. AHRQ plans to conduct a review of these studies after the first year to evaluate if it will continue funding the programs.The projects could entail a range of approaches, including prospective studies that explore the outcomes of pharmacogenetic testing in guiding selection of therapeutic interventions, evaluation of new imaging technologies to diagnose or monitor treatments, and prospective and longitudinal cohort studies of effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of diagnostics, devices, and drugs.The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $1.1 billion for comparative effectiveness, including $300 million to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; $400 million for the National Institutes of Health; and $400 million for the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services.A report this past summer by the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research, which was created by the ARRA, proposed that comparative effectiveness should “complement the trend in medicine to develop personalized medicine,” and should use the ability to investigate drug and dosage effects at the sub-group level in ways that are difficult in randomized trials.”This essential patient centered research will help give patients and doctors more information so they can make the best decisions,” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement accompanying the report.A recent report from the Institute of Medicine listed priority areas for CER studies. The list included studies that compare the effectiveness of patient decision support tools on informing diagnostic and treatment decisions; adding information about new biomarkers (including genetic information) with standard care in motivating behavior change and improving clinical outcomes; diagnostic imaging performed by non-radiologists and radiologists; and alternative clinical management strategies for hepatitis C, including alternative duration of therapy for patients based on viral genomic profile and patient risk factors.For more information: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HS-10-003.html FacebookTwitterLinkedInPrint分享 last_img read more

How Will GSE Reforms Affect Borrowers

On 15 August 2019

first_img How Will GSE Reforms Affect Borrowers? Share August 28, 2018 860 Views According to the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) August 2018 update report titled “Transitioning to Alternative Structures for Housing Finance,” mortgage interest rates are likely to go up, given the market structure analyzed by the CBO. New structures aimed at the secondary market, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, may lead to small increases in interest rates, but not impact home prices.CBO also notes that even if restructuring the secondary market and the GSEs were to result in higher interest rates, the rise would still likely be smaller than typical yearly fluctuations in rates. The goal of restructuring would be to become more reliant on private capital than the secondary market, which is currently mostly controlled by the GSEs. Rising rates would be caused by smaller federal subsidies and firms charging market prices for rates due to risk. Rising rates would inevitably result in rising home prices as well, but as previously mentioned, the rate rising level may not be enough to make a difference.According to CBO, mortgage interest rates would only rise modestly for two reasons. First, the current guarantee fees from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not far off from the fees from private guarantors. Second, the impact of unlimited federal guarantees, instead of the current $254 billion limit in federal guarantee losses, could positively impact the liquidity of the secondary market, reducing rates instead of raising them.The increased mortgage rates would slow the rate of home value increases, according to the CBO. Additionally, restructuring may impact the availability of 30-year fixed rate mortgages, depending mainly on the “robustness” of the securitization market. However, the relatively high liquidity of the market from the unlimited federal guarantees would likely mean 30-year fixed rate mortgages would still be widely available, with or without government backing.With a more privatized secondary market, with the government acting as a last resort and not a primary investor, could also result in a lower number of investments in housing. The CBO notes that overinvestment was one of the primary causes of the foreclosure crisis, and shifting capital from housing to other pursuits may strengthen the economy.Find the full report here. center_img CBO Fannie Mae Freddie Mac GSEs interest Mortgage Rates Secondary Market 2018-08-28 Seth Welborn in Daily Dose, Government, News, Secondary Market last_img read more

A Resurgence of ARMs

On 15 August 2019

in Daily Dose, Featured, News, Origination Adjustable Mortgage Rates Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Archana Pradhan CoreLogic Fixed-Rate Mortgages HOUSING 2018-11-14 Donna Joseph Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) may have been a defining trait of the housing market crash. However, the average mortgage rates on 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) as well as the 30-year fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs) rose by about 70 basis points from August 2017 to August 2018, according to an analysis by CoreLogic. “ARMs were popular prior to the housing bubble burst and its share of the dollar volume of conventional loan originations dropped to a staggering 4 percent in early-2009 from more than 50 percent during mid-2005,” Archana Pradhan, Senior Professional Economist at CoreLogic wrote on its blog. Though the rates of ARMs have fluctuated from 8-18 percent, increasing and decreasing in tune to the rise and decline of FRMs, the overall ARM share remained stable from last year despite the rise in the mortgage interest rate, the report indicated. The analysis also found that ARMs accounted for 15 percent of the dollar volume of conventional single-family mortgage originations as of August 2018. It is worth noting that the national share of ARMs had considerable variations across locations and loan sizes. The report found that ARMs are common in expensive areas and among homebuyers borrowing large-balance mortgage loans than for those with smaller loans. The rate on 30-year FRMs surged to 4.55 in August 2018 from 3.88 in August 2017. Similarly, the rate on 5/1 ARMs rose to 3.87 in August 2018 from 3.15 in August 2017. Buyers perceive ARMs to be a more feasible option on account of its lower initial interest rate, especially for bigger loans compared to FRMs, resulting in bigger monthly savings. Pradhan noted the strong relationship between the average sale price and the ARM share, wherein it is higher for metros with a higher average sale price. San Jose metro had the highest average sale price and the largest share of ARMs out of all conventional mortgage originations in 2018. Metro areas used in the CoreLogic analysis are Core Based Statistical Areas. At a stable rate since 2017, ARMs comprised 51 percent of the dollar volume among mortgages of more than $1 million originated during August 2018.
