It is therefore essential to seek medical help as quickly as possible if you suspect you have a torn or detached retina. Furthermore, the longer the retina remains detached, the worse the final visual result after surgery is likely to be. However, if the centre of the retina has been detached vision may never return fully. Once your retina is successfully reattached your vision is likely to improve. This involves using a small piece of silicone to push the retina flat from outside, without the need for an internal operation. Occasionally your surgeon will use a ‘scleral buckle’ either instead of, or as well as, a vitrectomy. During this procedure a laser is used to seal the hole in the retina and a bubble of air is inserted to prevent liquid getting behind the retina while it reattaches. In most cases your surgeon will recommend a vitrectomy where the retina is ‘flattened’ surgically. TreatmentĮvery detached retina is different and our specialists at Exeter Eye will be able to recommend the best treatment for you.

What they couldn’t have predicted-what no one could have predicted-was that this campy and delightful movie about love, defiance and the art of dance would deliver one of the most lucrative soundtracks in show business history: Dirty Dancing. Lionel Richie, Donna Summer, and Daryl Hall are just a few of the musical artists who, back in the 1980s, passed on recording songs for a small movie with a tiny budget starring two relatively unknown actors. From the ‘90s to well beyond, this was the soundtrack to rock at any party worth its salt in jive.
Yet, in truth, Antioch was weakened, but far from helpless. Traditionally, he has been criticised broadly for not seizing an ideal opportunity to capture the Frankish capital. Il-ghazi, nonetheless, made no real attempt to conquer Antioch itself. The Latin principality, stripped of its ruler and army, stood open to further assault. So terrible was this defeat, so great the number of Christian dead, that the Antiochenes thereafter dubbed the site ‘ Ager Sanguinis’, the Field of Blood. A Muslim living in Damascus described it as ‘one of finest victories’, noting that, strewn across the battleground, the enemy’s slain horses resembled hedgehogs ‘because of the quantity of arrows sticking into them’. The unfortunate priest carrying the True Cross was likewise cut down, although it was later said that the relic exacted its own miraculous revenge for this killing, causing all the Muslims nearby to suddenly become ‘possessed by greed’ for its ‘gold and precious stones’ and thus to begin butchering one another.Īs resistance collapsed, a few Franks escaped westwards into the Belus Hills, but most were slaughtered. One Latin eyewitness described how, ‘fighting energetically… was struck by a sword through the middle of his nose right into his brain, and settling his debt to death the Holy Cross he gave up his body to the earth and his soul to heaven’. Outnumbered and encircled, the Antiochenes were gradually overrun.Ĭaught at the heart of the maelstrom, Prince Roger was left horribly exposed, but ‘though his men lay cut down and dead on all sides…he never retreated, nor looked back’. But as battle was joined along the line, a contingent of Turcopoles stationed on the left wing buckled, and their rout splintered the Latin formation. In the vain hope of regaining the initiative, Roger ordered the Frankish knights on his right flank to deliver a crushing heavy charge and, at first, they appeared to have stemmed the Aleppan advance. As Il-ghazi’s men closed in, there was just time to assemble the Latin host beyond the confines of the camp. With bugles sounding an urgent call to arms through the ranks, Roger rushed to organise his forces for combat, a cleric bearing the True Cross beside him. Drawing upon local knowledge of the surrounding terrain, the Artuqid commander dispatched troops to approach Roger’s camp from three different directions and, as one Arabic chronicler attested, ‘as dawn broke saw the Muslim standards advancing to surround them completely’. Unbeknownst to the prince, however, on the preceding evening scouts had revealed the Christians’ position to Il-ghazi. Roger camped in a valley near the small settlement of Sarmada–which he believed was well defended by enclosing rocky hills–and that morning was about to initiate a swift advance, hoping to catch his enemy unawares and replay his success of 1115. Instead, the prince assembled around 700 knights, 3,000 infantry and a corps of Turcopoles (Christianised mercenaries of Turkish birth) and crossed to the eastern flanks of the Belus Hills. Facing this threat, Roger could have waited for reinforcements from his Latin neighbours, including Baldwin of Bourcq (who had assumed the Jerusalemite crown in 1118). Mustering a force–perhaps in excess of 10,000 men–the city’s new emir, the Artuqid Turk Il-ghazi, marched on the border zone with Frankish Antioch. After years of passively enduring Antiochene expansionism and repeated demands for exorbitant tribute, Aleppo had suddenly moved on to the offensive. In the days leading up to this moment, Roger had reacted with decisive resolution to news of an impending Muslim invasion. His men huddled together to listen to a sermon, partake of mass and venerate the Antiochene relic of the True Cross–girding their souls for the fight ahead. Just before first light on 28 June 1119 Prince Roger of Antioch gathered his army in readiness for battle. He declared for the 2011 NBA Draft after two seasons in college and was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 15th overall pick, but he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs on draft night. The Aztecs advanced to the Sweet 16 as the forward averaged 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in the Big Dance. Leonard averaged 15.5 points and 10.6 rebounds but connected on just 29.1 percent of his three-point attempts. The forward had double-doubles in his first five games and finished with 23 on the season. In his sophomore season, Leonard paced the Aztecs to 19 straight wins before they lost to BYU. He garnered MWC Freshman of the Year, All-MWC First Team and tournament MVP honors. Leonard had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the team's first-round loss to Tennessee. He led the Aztecs with 12.7 points and 9.9 rebounds to help the team win the Mountain West Conference's autobid for the NCAA Tournament. The 6-foot-7 forward made his presence known by owning the boards as a freshman.

Clippers Foundation and non-profit community partner Baby2Baby to contribute a gift of one million backpacks intended to reduce stress on low-income families headed back to school across Southern California. Leonard donated the car he received along with 2014-15 NBA Defensive Player of the Year award to Respite Care, a center providing aid for children in need. Basketball while leading his team to a 30-3 record. In his senior season, Leonard averaged 22.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.0 blocks per game and was named California Mr. Leonard attended Canyon Springs High School in Moreno Valley, California, but transferred to Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, for his junior year. One of his cousins, Stevie Johnson, played in the National Football League for the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers. Kawhi Anthony Leonard was born in Los Angeles, California, to Mark Leonard and Kim Robertson. Drafting Leonard is a massive risk/reward game, but he shouldn't make it past the third round, given his talent. The two-time Finals MVP is one of the best two-way players in the NBA, and during his 109 appearances with LA, he's averaged 26.0 points on 49/39/89 shooting, 6.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks. He's finished as a top-10 fantasy asset on a per-game basis in six consecutive seasons (discounting 2017-18 when he played nine games and last year when he didn't play at all). When available, he's productive - there's no question about that. He'll presumably be sitting out plenty of back-to-back sets, which sets him up for significant missed time before the possibility of injury is considered. The veteran playing more than 60 games would be considered a win, which makes him a tough player to roster. In addition to the Clippers' staff, fantasy managers should also exercise caution with Leonard. He's appeared in 70-plus games just twice in his decade-long career, and he's topped out at 60 games since leaving San Antonio for the 2018-19 season with Toronto, where he won an NBA title. The cautious approach is understandable, given Leonard's extensive injury history. And if you don’t move the ball and want to play right tomorrow, you’re sitting again.’ And I said ‘I want everybody to hear that, so it’s out there.After tearing his ACL late in the 2020-21 campaign, Leonard was given an initial return timetable for February 2021, but he never saw the floor last season. And if you can’t handle that, that’s cool. And I have to coach you to who I think you should be some day, not to who you are today. But I am not going to allow you to waste what you are.

And I said ‘Paul, I’m going to say this up front, and I’m going to say it in front of everyone, just so everyone’s clear. They’re pissed at Paul, but they’re pissed at me too, ’cause I took him out. So, I’m in the hallway, ’cause I’ve got to talk to the team now after the game. I took him out with four minutes left and sat him. My coming to Jesus moment with Paul was, we lost a game (Note: The Celtics actually won the game, with the Bucks, though the rest of Rivers’ recollection is accurate).

This would in itself be a step forward, but would not change (or would have changed very little) the probability of graduation for countries that were found eligible. Assuming that there is a consensus on the use of the MVI, one could imagine that it could replace the EVI used by the CDP for the identification of LDCs. This is what I argued in another panel entitled "MVI and Graduation" where I was invited. As agreed at the end of this panel, another event involving the same partner institutions should be organised before or during the June Summit in order to carry the same message further.įourth, the adoption of the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI) and even a consensus on its use will not have the full effect that is sometimes expected. I was asked to moderate this event, the theme of which corresponds to a priority for Ferdi, which has produced several works on it ( Guillaumont P., Wagner L., 2022 : Three criteria that a multidimensional vulnerability index should meet to be used effectively Guillaumont P, 2023: Taking into account vulnerability in the global distribution of concessional flows). independent of current policy) vulnerability index that could justify a higher level of development assistance (ODA) was the subject of an important event “ Achieving a fair and complete measurement of vulnerability: perspectives from the Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) on the vulnerability index” organised by the President of the Republic of Seychelles, Wavel Ramkalawan, in his capacity as chair of a group of island countries, together with the Secretary General of the OIF, Louise Mushikiwabo, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, and with the participation of several ministers including the French Secretary of State Chrysoula Zacharopoulou. Third, the call for a universal, multi-dimensional and structural (or exogenous, i.e. Under this initiative, Ferdi would be specifically responsible for monitoring the vulnerability of LDCs. The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), the Commonwealth Secretariat and various other countries have also expressed interest in participating. This initiative has received the support of Finland, France, as well as the endorsement of UN-OHRLLS. As such it would examine the extent to which this implementation addresses the vulnerabilities characteristic of LDCs and contributes to their structural transformation. Bringing together several think tanks and institutions from the North and South, the purpose of the LDC5 Monitor will be to take an independent look at the implementation of the Doha agenda. Second, FERDI organised an event in collaboration with the OECD Development Centre and UNU WIDER to launch an "LDC 5 Monitor", a follow-up to the LDC4 Monitor. This event also provided an opportunity for the main authors of Out of the Trap to present the main findings of a forthcoming revised edition. It allowed FERDI to argue that the category, which still includes 46 member countries, keeps its rationale, but that its consistency could be strengthened by modernising the criteria used to identify LDCs and enhancing the role that vulnerability could play in these criteria (Guillaumont P, 2021 : The Rationale of the Least Developed Countries Category over Half a Century). It followed an event organised on the same topic in Paris in December 2021 to prepare Doha. Its aim was to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the category, which was created in 1971 - and to question its present meaning and role. The first event organised by FERDI at the beginning of the Conference was about the rationale, impact and prospects of the LDC category. FERDI, the works of which are to a large part focused on vulnerabilities, the least developed countries and development finance was actively involved in the Conference, in particular through five events, allowing it to present its views. |
