– Advertisement – What matters most now is that the Democratic Party capitalize on this success. Organizations like VoteVets and National Security Leaders for Biden have played a crucial role in this transformation, but Democrats can’t declare “mission accomplished” and move on. Veterans, according to the exit polling, made up 15% of the electorate this year. They’re a group too large and too important to only court every four years.Politically, Democrats will benefit if more and more members of the armed forces and their families trust the party. But the country would benefit, too, if our military also reflected our nation’s political diversity, which is why this work must continue. Trump’s animosity toward those who’ve served in uniform, of course, is longstanding. From obtaining a bogus draft deferment for alleged “bone spurs” to calling his effort to avoid sexually transmitted diseases “my personal Vietnam” to smearing the late Sen. John McCain by saying “I like people who weren’t captured,” he has never tried to hide his disgust for those who would sacrifice for this country. That he’s engendered a hostile response is no surprise.But it’s not only about Trump. Our military is more ethnically and racially diverse than ever before—more diverse, in fact, than the country as a whole—and the share of women serving has soared. Service members are all too often stereotyped and misunderstood as uniformly hawkish and conservative, but this election should shatter those preconceptions.- Advertisement –
– Advertisement – Phillips mingled with artists like the Ramones and Iggy Pop and styled musicians in garments that suited their sensibilities and colored their rock personas. She designed the pink dress that the singer Debbie Harry wore on the cover of Blondie’s “Plastic Letters” (1978) and dressed James Chance and the Contortions in 1950s-era suits and ties that helped define the aesthetic of no wave, a nihilistic subgenre of punk rock.- Advertisement – At the time, no wave offered few fashion templates. Acting as a kind of creative director, Phillips sought to create a loud aesthetic that complemented the group’s sound. She dressed Chance in sharkskin suits and styled his hair into a pompadour — a retro-inspired look that reflected the band’s own fusion music.She acted as a promoter for the band, generating the buzz that helped take James Chance and the Contortions from an opening act to a headlining band. “She had a lot of credibility with the other people on the scene who might have been dubious about me,” Chance said in a phone interview, adding, “She didn’t want me to stay an underground thing that only a few SoHo artists like.”Chance and Phillips were preparing to record a demo for a sci-fi disco album she conceptualized when she learned she had cancer.Her death two years later was noted in a brief obituary in Rolling Stone.Through the people who know her work, Phillips’s ideas have endured. Harry wore another of her designs on the cover of her solo single “Rush Rush” (1983). Some years after that, Phillips’s blue lace-up dress was one of the inspirations for an Anna Sui collection. To this day Phillips is regarded by her contemporaries as one of the designers who defined punk fashion, along with Vivienne Westwood.Her story is being made into a documentary, a film that will star a young woman who helped give a cultural movement its pulse. New York at the time was on the brink of bankruptcy, overwhelmed with neglect and crime. But rent was cheap and amid the decay, designers, artists, musicians and filmmakers formed collaborations, making art and meeting up at rock venues. Phillips’s plans were always bigger than the punk scene. She talked with Reed about wanting to translate her designs into her own fashion label, but expressed concerns that conventional avenues to fame might be challenging for her, particularly as an Asian immigrant. Before she could realize her ambitions, Phillips died of cancer on June 19, 1981. She was 26.“She was always up to something, designing clothes, drawing sketches,” said James Chance in an interview with the website Vacant. “I really think if she was still alive, she would have become a designer. Many other people have been using her ideas.” Harry, who befriended Phillips through the scene, asked her to design her dress for the cover photo of “Plastic Letters.”“You know, there’s people that you meet and you understand them and they understand you sort of instantly,” said Harry in a phone interview. “We shared a similar kind of sense of humor.”Phillips was also an artist, photographer and actress in underground films. She interviewed Paul Simonon, bassist of The Clash, and contributed photos for Punk magazine. And she appeared in the fumetti-style illustrated photo comic “The Legend of Nick Detroit” among an ensemble cast of New York punks. Later she co-founded (with the publicist Steve Mass and the artist Diego Cortez) the Mudd Club in Tribeca, a mash-up nightclub and venue where artists and scenesters gathered for a taste of the avant-garde.By the late 1970s, she began managing James Chance and the Contortions, which played a blend of punk, funk and jazz. Before long she and Chance began dating.
Phillips is believed to have been born in Taipei in February 1955. Her mother, Bi Li-na, grew up in Beijing and left for Taiwan around the time of the Chinese Communist Revolution; her father was a soldier in Chiang Kai-shek’s army. They separated when Anya was a child. Later, her mother married Wade Phillips, an American Army colonel, with whom she had a son, Kris, who became known as Fei Xiang, one of China’s biggest pop stars in the 1980s.As a teenager at Taipei American School, Phillips spent hours sketching clothing designs and showing them off to Reed, her high school classmate (then Sylvia Morales). Although Phillips could not sew, she had her garments handmade by local tailors, which likely sharpened her own instincts in detailing, cut and fit. “Arriving there and finding this incredible creativity happening in this kind of grimy downtown scene — she instantly got it,” said Sylvia Reed, a close friend and the former wife and manager of the Velvet Underground’s Lou Reed, in a phone interview. – Advertisement – Phillips moved to Manhattan in 1974 after graduating high school, and Reed soon joined her.She aspired to make a name for herself as a fashion designer in New York City, with Reed as a sort of sidekick. “She had this picture in her mind of how she wanted her life to be and I was to fulfill this role for her as her confidante, best friend, and trusted companion,” Reed told NBC in 2016.By then, Phillips had already realized that the traditional path was not for her. She was awarded a full scholarship to Parsons School of Design but dropped out days into her studies, finding she lacked the discipline for structured coursework.Instead, she rooted herself in the punk scene — merging the underground culture with the mainstream fashion she’d grown up admiring — and quickly became as known for her cutout, form-fitting dresses as she was for her eclectic style.“She had a very clear idea of becoming an influential trendsetter in New York,” Reed said, “and she was that.” This article is part of Overlooked, a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.In the 1970s, Anya Phillips left Taiwan to forge a fashion career in New York City, showing up in a burgeoning downtown punk scene in what would become her signature dress, an eye-catching piece made of electric blue spandex that laced up the front. When she paired it with stilettos and a full-length fur coat, she exuded a slinky glamour that would make her the “It girl” of Lower Manhattan’s night clubs.- Advertisement –

Lauren Boebert, Hard-Right Gun Activist, Wins in Colorado House District
Lauren Boebert, a Glock-wearing conservative firebrand, won the race for Colorado’s sprawling Third Congressional District on Wednesday, holding the seat for Republicans as they tried to limit their House losses.According to The Associated Press, Ms. Boebert, 33, defeated Diane Mitsch Bush, a former state legislator, in the race for the seat held by Representative Scott Tipton, a Republican toppled by Ms. Boebert in the party primary, the first time a challenger defeated a sitting House member in the state in decades. She did so by portraying Mr. Tipton as insufficiently supportive of President Trump.- Advertisement – Though Colorado is trending more Democratic, the Third Congressional District covers a huge expanse of the state’s more conservative Western Slope, where progressive upscale ski towns, such as Aspen and Steamboat Springs, are interspersed with conservative ranching and working-class communities such as Pueblo and Grand Junction.Ms. Boebert, the owner of a restaurant in Rifle, Colo., where the waitresses openly carry handguns, gained attention for expressing some interest in QAnon, but has since disavowed the baseless conspiracy theory, which maintains that the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles plotting against Mr. Trump. Instead, Ms. Boebert has positioned herself as the antidote to what she has called socialist ideology spreading through Washington, represented by lawmakers such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat of New York. She said she decided to take on Mr. Tipton, a low-profile, conservative congressman, after his office declined to aid a ballot measure preventing Colorado from awarding its electoral votes to the overall national popular vote winner. He did not appear to take the primary challenge seriously and lost.Ms. Mitsch Bush is a former Routt County commissioner and state lawmaker who stressed her bipartisan record and expertise on water issues, always a major concern in Colorado. She said Ms. Boebert was more interested in achieving political celebrity than working on the issues most important to Coloradans. She also attacked Ms. Boebert for backing the Republican drive to overturn the Affordable Care Act.Ms. Boebert was dogged in her campaign by the disclosure of a series of run-ins she had with local police over traffic charges and other conduct, including being arrested on warrants for failure to appear in court.- Advertisement – The congresswoman-elect gained national attention in 2019 when she confronted Beto O’Rourke, then a Democratic candidate for president, at a televised town hall outside Denver over his pledge to confiscate weapons such as semiautomatic assault rifles. “I am here to say, ‘Hell no, you’re not,’” she told Mr. O’Rourke.- Advertisement –
A group opposed to her paid for billboards featuring her mug shot at various locations in the district. But many voters in the district were apparently willing to overlook those transgressions and back Ms. Boebert for her pledge to be an aggressive conservative combatant in Congress. – Advertisement –
Nov 8, 2005 (CIDRAP News) – The United States proposed today that a small group of experts be appointed immediately to plan a fast response in case an influenza pandemic erupts, as an international conference on avian and pandemic flu continued in Geneva.Stewart Simonson, assistant secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), proposed that the World Health Organization (WHO) set up the expert panel, according to the Associated Press (AP). He also suggested that the panel be assigned to make a plan for closing gaps in flu surveillance and to complete both plans in time for the WHO’s executive board meeting in January.”We must go beyond generalized planning and well-intentioned expressions of cooperation,” the AP quoted Simonson as saying. “Now is the time to speak and act with specificity.”Hundreds of experts in human and animal health and other fields gathered at the WHO in Geneva yesterday for the 3-day conference. The stated goal of the meeting is to forge an international consensus on how to combat H5N1 avian flu and prepare for a potential human flu pandemic.Experts at the meeting disagreed today on whether the H5N1 virus can be eradicated in poultry, according to another AP report. Controlling the virus in poultry is considered the best way to keep it from evolving into a pandemic strain.Samuel Jutzi of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) told the AP that the world could stamp out the virus in poultry in “a matter of a year,” provided enough money is invested. However, current spending is not enough to do the job, he said.Jutzi, who was interviewed on the sidelines of the conference, observed that the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong all have eliminated highly pathogenic avian flu from their poultry stocks in recent years, the AP reported. He said the FAO would reveal tomorrow its estimate of the cost of eradicating the virus in poultry.Alejandro Thiermann of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) told the AP he does not think the virus can be eradicated in poultry. “The virus is here to stay until, through genetic mutations, it really causes havoc or it’s defeated by nature and disappears,” he said.On the other hand, Thiermann said the virus can be managed by rapidly detecting and stopping new outbreaks, according to the story. “We certainly have the tools to bring it to a point where we can manage it and almost eliminate the chance of it becoming a pandemic strain,” he said.In other news, lawmakers in Washington, DC, today voiced objections to President Bush’s $7.1 billion strategy for battling avian and pandemic flu, the AP reported. Some Republicans called the plan too costly, while Democrats said it shortchanges state and local governments. The plan was unveiled last week.Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, said he would not support the proposal because it would increase the budget deficit. At a hearing today, he asked if the administration would help Congress find savings in other programs to pay for pandemic preparedness, according to the story. But HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt said Bush views the pandemic threat as an emergency.Democrats at the hearing questioned whether the administration plan provides enough money for state and local preparedness, the AP reported. Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., called the plan “long on directions and short on resources for nonfederal partners in pandemic preparedness.”Meanwhile, the drug company Roche announced today it had stopped selling oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in China and was turning over supplies to the government, according to another AP story.Supplies of the antiviral drug are “being transferred to China’s Ministry of Health for centralized allocation and distribution,” Roche’s Chinese division said in a statement quoted by the AP. The statement said that in case of a pandemic, “the government is in the best position to handle rapid response and distribution.”Oseltamivir is one of very few drugs believed to be effective against the H5N1 virus. Concerns about possible hoarding of the drug recently prompted Roche to restrict sales in the United States, Germany, Canada, and Switzerland.Yesterday Roche announced it would increase production of oseltamivir to 300 million treatment courses annually by 2007, according to another AP report. That would be a tenfold increase in production since 2004, the company said.Roche said it had received requests from more than 150 governments and companies to produce generic versions of oseltamivir or to get involved in outsourced production, the story said. The company reported it had begun negotiations with eight companies and several governments, including Taiwan and Vietnam.See also:WHO page on Geneva meeting, with links to presentationshttp://www.who.int/mediacentre/events/2005/meeting_avian_influenza/en/index.html
Jan 25, 2007 (CIDRAP News) – Influenza shots should be mandatory for healthcare workers, and public health officials should think of seasonal flu as a dress rehearsal for pandemic flu, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) said today as it unveiled a 12-point plan to strengthen the nation’s preparedness.The IDSA’s recommendations, aimed at Congress and the Bush administration, laud the government for the $6 billion allocated so far to pandemic preparedness and the December 2006 passage of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act. “But most of the work remains ahead of us, and we need to keep attention focused on what needs to be done,” said Andrew Pavia, MD, chair of the IDSA National and Global Public Health Committee, at a teleconference today.”Our recommendations are guideposts to complement the work of the Department of Health and Human Services,” (HHS) he said.Investments in pandemic influenza planning can help public health officials better manage seasonal flu, said Kathleen M. Neuzil, MD, chair of IDSA’s Pandemic Influenza Task Force, at the teleconference. Stabilizing vaccine production and distribution for seasonal influenza will lay the groundwork for an effective response when a pandemic strain emerges, she said.Though the US government has allocated more than $6 billion to pandemic planning, most of the money is one-time emergency funding that falls short of what’s needed to support long-term national, state, and local efforts, the IDSA said in its report.Julie Gerberding, MD, MPH, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, voiced similar sentiments yesterday in testimony before a US Senate subcommittee hearing on pandemic preparedness, according to a Reuters report today. She said public health had been neglected for decades before the increases of the past few years.Pushing flu shots for healthcare workersThe strongest language in the IDSA’s proposals was aimed at boosting seasonal flu immunization rates among healthcare workers. The current rate for this group is about 40%, the ISDA report says.”This is a strong call to go from a voluntary system to one that has more teeth,” Neuzil said. The IDSA recommends that healthcare workers be required to receive flu shots unless they decline, in writing, for religious or philosophical reasons or because of a medical contraindication.Pavia said some hospitals are already starting to mandate flu shots, and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has proposed mandatory flu vaccination as a quality indicator for hospitals. The federal government could also force greater participation by linking mandatory healthcare worker vaccination to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement.Some groups oppose mandatory vaccination for healthcare workers. In 2005, the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) issued a consensus statement encouraging healthcare employees to be vaccinated but opposing a requirement. The ACOEM said that having employees decline the vaccine in writing has not been shown to improve overall vaccination rates.In 2004, Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle became the first hospital in the nation to make vaccination a “fitness for duty” requirement for its employees.Kim Davis, communications director at Virginia Mason, told CIDRAP News that for the 2005-06 flu season the hospital’s immunization rate for staff topped 98%, with the remainder of staff using masks.However, the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) opposed the plan. “We don’t believe a mandate is the best method for compliance,” Anne Tan Piazza, spokesperson for the WSNA, told the Spokane Spokesman Review. “We think you get the best results through education.”Bioethicists Arthur Caplan and David Curry supported mandatory vaccination for healthcare workers in a recent editorial in the San Jose Mercury News. “Choice is a key value for us all, but spreading infection among the sick is too high a price to pay for that choice,” wrote Caplan and Curry, who are members of the Vaccine Ethics Project in the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. “We should not have to wonder whether the person taking care of us, our newborn, or our elderly parent has gotten a flu shot.”More Preparedness GoalsSeveral of the IDSA’s other recommendations are aimed at supporting the development of new vaccines and improving the supply and selection of antiviral medications. The United States should serve as a catalyst for a well-financed international effort to quickly develop pandemic influenza vaccines, the report says. The IDSA envisions the effort, which it suggests calling “the Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Master Program,” as a large public-private partnership on the scale of the Apollo space project.The IDSA supports using incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to develop flu vaccines and treatment, such as tax credits, enhanced intellectual property rights, and streamlined regulatory approval. The group emphasizes that antibiotic innovations should also be a focus of pandemic flu planning, because patients who have severe influenza often develop lethal secondary bacterial infections.Planning for mass casualty events and updating plans for distributing vaccines and antivirals are other major themes of the IDSA’s recommendations.Among suggestions for protecting the healthcare workforce during a pandemic, the IDSA proposes that Congress establish a compensation fund to help those who are injured by a pandemic influenza vaccine given during an emergency, as well as liability protection for healthcare workers following altered standards of care, consistent with local and national recommendations, during a public health emergency.Other recommendations include developing and testing community mitigation measures, improving flu surveillance, and strengthening leadership and communication.”We’re better prepared now than we have been, but we have a very long way to go,” said Pavia in an IDSA press release on the report. “We can’t take our eye off the ball now.”See also:IDSA statement: “Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza: Principles for US Action”Julie Gerberding’s prepared Senate testimonyhttp://www.cdc.gov/news/2007/01/gerberding-testimony-avian.htm
Oct 24, 2007 (CIDRAP News) – A health ministry official in Indonesia said yesterday that a 4-year-old girl from Banten province died Oct 22 of H5N1 avian influenza.Lily Sulistyowati, a health ministry spokeswoman, said the girl was hospitalized 2 days before her death, according to a Reuters report yesterday.Nyoman Kandun of the health ministry said investigators concluded that the girl had had contact with dead poultry in her neighborhood, according to an Associated Press report.If the girl’s case is confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), it will be listed as Indonesia’s 110th H5N1 case and 89th fatal one.The girl is from the same western suburb of Jakarta—Tangerang—as the country’s most recent WHO-confirmed case-patient, a 12-year-old boy who died on Oct 13. The WHO confirmed the boy as the country’s 88th avian flu victim on Oct 17.Also, Xinhua, China’s state news agency, reported yesterday that seven children between the ages of 1 and 10 from Riau province on Sumatra were hospitalized with suspected avian influenza.Two days ago, Indonesia’s health minister told Xinhua that a 10-year-old girl from Riau had died of avian flu, but other ministry officials later denied the claim, according to a report from Agence France-Presse.Indonesia leads the world in H5N1 cases and deaths. The WHO’s global H5N1 count currently stands at 331 cases and 203 deaths.See also:Oct 17 WHO statementhttp://www.who.int/csr/don/2007_10_17/en/index.html
Nov 10, 2008 (CIDRAP News) – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said recently it is making a few minor changes in its requirement for advance notice of imported food shipments, which is designed to give the agency time to decide which shipments need inspection for safety reasons. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/default.htm Jun 30, 2004, CIDRAP News story “FDA reports growing compliance with food security rules” In another change, the final rule closes a loophole that excuses importers from identifying the manufacturer of processed food if they don’t know who it is, the FDA said. The FDA released the final rule and a draft compliance policy guide Oct 31. An interim version of the rule, which was required by the Bioterrrorism Act of 2002, has been in effect since December 2003. The final rule will take effect May 6, 2009, the agency said. “There are instances when some of the information required for prior notice is incomplete,” Cianci added. “In those instances FDA and CBP follow the compliance policy guide to determine how the shipment will be handled.” However, the final rule permits firms to notify the FDA longer in advance than is permitted under the interim rule. The latter allows notices to be filed no more than 5 days in advance. Under the final rule, firms can file up to 15 calendar days before the anticipated arrival date if they use the FDA’s Prior Notice System Interface or up to 30 days in advance if they use CBP’s Automated Commercial System. “There have been very few instances when shipments arrived with no prior notice,” he told CIDRAP News. “When this occurs the shipments are either turned away or held at the border until the prior notice requirements have been met.” Compliance called goodSebastian Cianci, a spokesman for the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said compliance with the prior notice rules has been generally good. Manuel of Compliance Policy Guides
Current FDA compliance policy guide for the prior-notice rulehttp://www.fda.gov/iceci/compliancemanuals/compliancepolicyguidancemanual/ucm122900.htm The FDA and CBP are inviting comments on the draft compliance policy guide. To ensure they will be considered during work on the final version of the guide, comments should be submitted by Dec 8, the agencies said. He said 212,267 foreign food-handling facilities had registered with the FDA as of Oct 9. Registration of all food facilities was another requirement of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002; imported food coming from unregistered facilities can be turned away. See also: About 1% of incoming food shipments are physically inspected, though all are screened through the FDA’s prior-notice and other reporting systems, Cianci reported. Those intervals will stay the same in the final rule. The FDA said it considered shortening them in an effort to match them better with time frames used by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which co-administers the rules with the FDA. But the FDA determined that the existing intervals are the minimum it needs to review and respond to prior notices. Under the interim rule, food carriers are required to give the FDA at least 8 hours’ advance notice of the arrival of food shipped by boat, 4 hours for food arriving by air or rail, and 2 hours for shipments arriving by road.

The Zagreb County Court today ruled that the strike at Croatia Airlines, announced by the ORCA union, was declared illegal. In addition, the court banned the ORCA union from organizing and conducting the strike announced for August 8 this year until the strike demands are met.As a reminder, the Zagreb County Court on Tuesday, August 7, issued a temporary measure banning the strike, which remains in force after today’s court decision on the illegality of the announced strike. The management of Croatia Airlines welcomes the aforementioned court decision, which, at the peak of the tourist season, still allows the company to perform a regular (planned) flight schedule, and passengers to arrive at their desired destinations. “Dirty play dirty”An interesting reversal of the situation, a strike must no longer be legally organized demanding better working conditions and higher wages. Perhaps the last step is for everyone to resign and move to other airlines, where professional staff is more valued. It would then be interesting to see the course of the situation and what then will be the move of the CA Management.It is Emirates in Split that is looking for new cabin crew members.EMIRATES IN SPLIT IN SEARCH OF NEW CABIN PERSONNEL MEMBERS
