Why didn't Iron Man just fly away from Thanos, after retrieving Infinity Stones?
Iron Man's booster (as seen in Avengers: Infinity War' second trailer) should be able to fly away from a much weaker Thanos who is now without the Stones. Specifically to go to someone like Hulk who has proven to be able to survive after snapping.
Even if he couldn't outrun him, he could still use any of the Stones to slow Thanos down. Not to mention all the other Avengers are nearby. Why didn't he do so?

I guess he could have but he didn't think of it or didn't think he could have been successful. I strongly doubt there is a convincing answer to a "why didn't" question like this.
– iandotkelly ♦
Thanos was never a weak being, even without the stones, he's very powerful being.
– Vishwa
Also every moment that the fight continued was a risk of losing another one of his friends. That's another chance Pepper gets blown up, another chance Peter doesn't dodge a blade, another chance Thanos crushes Captain America. His snap ended the fight instantly.
– Carson
The only way to stop Thanos and his minions was turning them into dust.
– Etack Sxchange
Because it was too late
Just "stealing" the Stones involved incorporating them into his armor, and recall that just wearing the Gauntlet is incredibly damaging.
So using his armor to steal the Stones meant that, effectively, he was doomed the moment his did so. Using what was left of his strength to dust Thanos and his army was all that was available to Tony... indeed, it was the ONE path to victory as forseen by Doctor Strange.
There was only one way to win out of 14 million and that was it.
you have to remember one thing the after effects of Stones affected Tony after he made them into his nano gauntlet.. so technically without harnessing the power into gauntlet he could have flew away
– Surya Tej
The only way he could take the stones was to make the gauntlet so no he couldn't just fly away
– Paulie_D
There was no point of doing that.
What Tony Stark did, have a deep bond with his own life. To understand why he did, what he did, we should look at who Tony Stark as Iron Man is.
I'm not sure that stealing stones is the right term, but Stark's ultimate plan was protect what he loved most, he is ready to sacrifice his own life to do that.
Since Loki, Tony Stark was living with the unease of that what will happen next, How to protect the world and all the burdens he carry. He even went on creating Ultron to do just that.
Since he learned about Thanos and what his plan is, Stark focuses his all towards stopping Thanos. you can understand how Thanos lived rent-free in Stark's head by just looking at the conversation he had with Doc Strange.
Strange: Under no circumstance can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here.
Tony: No. It's you who doesn't understand. Thanos has been inside my head for six years… Since he sent an army to New York and now he's back! And I don't know what to do. So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on out turf or his but you saw what they did, what he can do. At least on his turf, he's not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him. Doctor. Do you concur?
So, everything he did then , he had a plan. The gauntlet Thanos grabbed at the end of the Endgame, has similar tech like Stark's armor. nano tech and controlled by Friday/Stark. Thats's how he was able to grab the stones just by touching the gauntlet. His ultimate plan was to do whatever necessary, whenever possible and use however tiny chance he gets. Just before that scene, we can see Doc. Strange reminds Stark that they have only one chance to win. and Stark knew when Strange said,
There was no other way
that he has to do the sacrifice. He accepted it then and made his mind around it.
So, to answer your question, why didn't he fly away,
He didn't have much time to do whatever necessary or to bring the gauntlet to someone else. If you watch the battle they had to do just to bring the stones/gauntlet to Scott's van, almost every member of earth's defense, had to get involved and was barely succeeding, and then failed ultimately. So Stark didn't had much of a probable chance to bring it somewhere else, doesn't matter how fast he can fly. Thanos is a veteran in battle. there was no escape. Stark knew that.
He literally wore the infinity gauntlet, which is near impossible for mere mortal. So in the moment he wore the gauntlet, there was no going back. So Stark made the choice.
Tony Stark is not a kind of man, who lets other people to do what he wanted to do or what he thinks he's better at doing. with his ego, he tries to do whenever he wanted to do something that way.
While hulk has the ability to survive with relatively low harm, he already done the snap and was not in the condition to repeat. Hulk was proven ineffective with one on one battle with Thanos in the beginning if Infinity War. considering both these, either Thor or Captain Marvel was the best choices Stark have to choose. but as I said before, trying to move gauntlet could result in failure.
Tony Stark is not a man who accepts failure. so he chose to solve the problem by himself.
To answer your second question, slow down Thanos.
There was nothing to gain nor path to victory lies by doing so. even if Tony could slow Thanos somehow, he know it wouldn't matter. just like everyone else trying to do that failed ultimately. one and only thing to do after getting all the stones is just defeat Thanos. that's the Endgame. Tony just did that.
P.S: Comparing the knowledge Thanos had and Stark had on the stones would be a huge factor in the victory or defeat if Stark tried to control the stones. Thanos has a good knowledge about stones by learning about them for a long time, He surely knows more that Stark about manipulating stones, how they work and how to achieve his target efficiently. Tony Stark (being a genious), probably knew that he doesn't know to work stones like Thanos do. so his wise choice would be just go to the ultimatum.
VishwaVishwa
Using the gauntlet for anything other than the 'snap' would have killed tony as immediately as unsnapping half the universe, so there was no point to try something else.
– DrMrstheMonarch
Iron Man used the nano particles comprising his leg armour to form the Infinity Gauntlet on his hand, so there were not enough particles for him to make boosters to fly away. Also, when Doctor Strange looked at him, he understood that this was the only chance of 12 million.

Welcome to Movies.SE! This is an excellent answer if you can provide evidence (say, screenshots or video footage) demonstrating that Tony specifically used the nano-particles from the suit's legs to form the Infinity Gauntlet. Without any evidence to prove that, this is mere speculation.
– F1Krazy
We see Doctor Strange look at him ..... I'm not sure Tony sees that. Its a moment for the audience.

The Celtic Cross
an original play by
photo copyright Alyson Sundal, 2009
JACOB: When are you Papist terrorists going to calm down and learn to live with us?
THOMAS: When we're free.
_In Northern Ireland, two communities are at odds with each other. Their conflict is not only political, but ideological. The Protestant Loyalist side believes that Northern Ireland should remain part of the United Kingdom. The Catholic Nationalist side believes that Northern Ireland should become part of the Republic of Ireland. "The Troubles" refer to the thirty years of violence and terrorism between these two groups. Peace resolutions in the late nineties brought an end to the sectarian violence, but the peace achieved is a shaky one.
The Celtic Cross is the story of the unlikely friendship that forms between Jacob and Thomas, two young men in Belfast, Northern Ireland; Jacob is a Protestant Loyalist and Thomas is a Catholic Nationalist. Set in the 1990s, these two men have lived their entire lives during "The Troubles." Although they are conditioned to hate each other, an improbable friendship unfolds, but their circumstances force them to choose between their friendship and their beliefs.
The Celtic Cross is a new play produced by Wanderweg Productions.
It is an original work written by Matthew Jackson in collaboration with Bryan Sullivan.

PearlsOnly is an online retailer of high quality pearls. Our unique value is that we buy pearls directly from pearl farms in China, and direct from distributors in Japan and ship direct to the customers. With huge savings of up to 80% from retail prices, PearlsOnly has grown to over 9000 customers since its launch in 2003. With growth, and fast growth at that came many challenges - and one of them was to manage PearlsOnly various PPC campaigns.
If you are look for a PPC Management solution, we would strongly recommend that you take a look at Apex Pacific. Excelent product, easy to use, saves time and money - what could be better. This is the best solution for anyone that is looking to automate their PPC campaigns.
As one of PearlsOnly founders and its Chief Marketing Office, doing less with more was always our goal. Keeping our overheads to its minium assured us of continued success and using automated tools was the only way to go.
In our effort to automate these process, we have tried literaly all the automation tools on the market. Over a course of 1 year we went through 3 optimization tools -- some of them had proved to be so difficult to manage that we spend months with tech support to resolve the bugs. Others 'automatically' would tag our campaigns and switch them around to the point where native tools, such as google admin panel, no longer would be usefull.
So, after months of hands on research we nearly gave up on our quest and have resigned to manual management. In fact we were in the process of looking to hire a PPC manager. But by sheer luck, Apex Pacific name came up in one of the posts, and we took a look.
We were impressed! First - the price point for the software was well below the other software we have tried. Second - you owned the software and there was no repeat costs. Third - and I save the best for last - the software worked! Really well. Out of the box. With no hassell, no steep learning curve.
Within minutes we were able to import all of our campaigns into Dynamic Bid Maximizer, configure a few parameters to work with our PPC strategy and the software was off and running. Our PPC management time shortly went from 2 or 3 times a day, to once a day, then to twice a day. The time saving was huge. And we no longer had to worry about our PPC strategy not executing the way we wanted it to. Our PPC costs went down, our time spent on PPC was less and our strategy was being implmented 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. With PPC managed automatically our valuable table was freed up to continue to fuel PearlsOnly growth.
We continue to use Dynamic Bid Maximizer and have now dedicated a stand alone workstation to the system - it is that important for us. We can easily and at a glance see how our PPC campaigns are doing and change/adjust things as quickly. And we view it as part of a critical part of our business.
How much do you spend on PPC campaigns? Save your advertising cost while maximizing the results. |
Today marks the end of the third quarter. That's right only 92 more days left in the project. I'm not abandoning the project but I am starting to look ahead to next year already. I'm not sure what I will start on but I know it will not be as intense as this has been. All I know at this point is that if will be much more focused with regard to a single concept.
For tonight's photo I was inspired by an image I saw online today. I really loved the pose and wanted to try and create a similar image. I set up our light source with a shoot-thru umbrella high about Shannon's head as she stood in the corner of my office. I was trying to completely do away with the shadow but didn't have the light set correctly. |
Penn Township fire displaces residents, pets and flying squirrels
Seven residents were displaced, along with dogs, a cat and some flying squirrels after a structure fire in the 100 block of Mussetta Street in Penn Township on Monday.
Crews were dispatched at about 5:50 p.m. on May 21 for a fire that originated in the home's utility room, according to Hanover Fire Chief Tony Clousher.
The fire spread to the second floor's exterior wall, then to the attic and roof, he said.

Read:Six fires in four months in Hanover area matches total for last year
There were no injuries reported, and the fire was contained in about 20 minutes.
The fire is deemed to be accidental and is believed to have started in or around an electric lawn mower that had been used shortly before the fire, Clousher said.
The home that caught fire housed two residents, a calico cat and flying squirrels. A separate residence that is attached to the home that caught fire housed five residents and dogs.
All animals are accounted for, except for the cat, which is believed to be hiding, Clousher said.
The damages caused by the fire is conservatively estimated by Clousher to cost $50,000.
The Red Cross is assisting the residents. |

(Nov. 10, 2010)--As part of UTSA Diversity Month, the UTSA East Asia Institute will host a free screening of the documentary "Autumn Gem: The Story of China's First Feminist" at 3:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 14 in the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02) on the UTSA Main Campus. Directors Rae Chang and Adam Tow will attend the screening to meet the public and discuss their project.
The film is about Qui Jin, a Joan of Arc-style character, who defied tradition to become the leader of a revolutionary army fighting against the corrupt Qing dynasty. The radical women's-rights activist challenged traditional gender roles and emerged as a national heroine celebrated in China today.
Chang graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in art and anthropology. Her short films have been presented at APAture Film Night in 2003 and the Women of Color Film Festival in 2004. |

3 N.H. cities to share $10M for energy efficiency
BERLIN, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire is getting $10 million in federal money to make buildings in Berlin, Nashua and Plymouth more energy efficient.
The funding was announced Wednesday as part of the Department of Energy's Retrofit Ramp-up initiative for 25 communities nationwide.
The money will be used for residential, commercial, municipal and industrial buildings.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who along with Reps. Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter, wrote to the Energy Secretary Steven Chu in support of the project, says the money will help expand progress the state has made in weatherizing buildings.

Sally has been working for the same company for over twenty years. About a year ago, she was given a new group benefits booklet because her employer had switched insurance companies. Like most people, she put it aside and intended to read it when she "had the time." Sally was just diagnosed with terminal cancer and made the time to read her group booklet. She was upset to learn that the life insurance coverage with the new insurer was only one times annual earnings.

Dems 'Welcome' GOP Contenders to Florida
With the red-hot Republican president contest moving to Florida this week, Democrats made a pre-emptive strike to shore up support among Jewish voters, particularly stressing President Obama's support for Israel. Republicans are trying to make Israel a wedge issue among Jewish voters and contributors this year, especially in Florida with its large Jewish population.
In a conference call with the Jewish Week and other reporters from Anglo-Jewish and Israeli media, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the chair of the Democratic National Committee, and former Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) accused Republicans of "lying and distorting" the President's record on Israel.
They focused primarily on Mitt Romney because he is the front-runner going into the final week before the Jan 31 primary and because they see him as weak and inconsisten on foreign policy. "It is Romney's to lose," said Wasserman Shultz.
Both he and Gingrich want to "zero out foreign aid" and make nations like Israel prove they deserve" the aid, Wasserman Shultz charged. "That is not standing with an ally closely and doing the thing we feel is so necessary in providing assistance to Israel."
She accused Gingrich and Rick Santorum of trying to "inflame the (Israeli-Palestinian) conflict" by saying the Palestinians are an "invented" people (Gingrich) and that the West Bank is a part of Israel (Santorum). "They show tremendous ignorance on their part; even the Israeli leadership" called such comments unhelpful, she added.
Regarding Iran, she stressed the tough sanctions and said, "no options are off the table" when it comes to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons.
Most Jewish voters in Florida, they said, will be focused on domestic issues like Medicare, prescription drug coverage, the interests of children, and that's where they expect Obama to do very well.
"Republicans know they have no appeal to Jewish voters" on domestic issues, Wasserman Shultz said, so that is why they will focus on Israel. Wexler added, "We believe Israel is a winning issue in Florida with Jewish voters, and we're going to stress his exceedingly impressive record with Israel." |

This study investigates the pricing behavior of firms in the euro area on the basis of surveys conducted by nine Eurosystem national central banks, covering more than 11,000 firms. The results, consistent across countries, show that firms operate in monopolistically competitive markets, where prices are mostly set following markup rules and where price discrimination is common. Around one-third of firms follow mainly timedependent pricing rules, while two-thirds allow for elements of state dependence. The majority of the firms take into account both past and expected economic developments in their pricing decisions. Price reviews happen with a low frequency, of about one to three times per year in most countries, but prices are actually changed even less. Hence, price stickiness arises at both stages of the price-setting process and is mainly driven by customer relationships — explicit and implicit contracts — and coordination failure. Firms adjust prices asymmetrically in response to shocks: while cost shocks have a greater impact when prices have to be raised than when they have to be reduced, a fall in demand is more likely to induce a price change than an increase in demand

A friend and I were star gazing last night at approximately 22:20 to 22:50 and when we were commenting on the star right next to the Big Dipper blinking brightly then dimming, we had noticed this boomerang shaped flying object passing right in front of it. at first we thought it was a low flying plane, but we didn't hear a sound from it..it passed so silently by, heading from the West to the North...it shimmered and glowed amber, green and yellow lights...it could've been huge had it been grounded.
We had been impressed by it and it will be in my memory forever.

The Medical Medium Hype: Exploring the benefits of celery juice
in Juices
With the rise of the juicing trend, celery juice has been hailed as a hero. Are the health benefits of celery juice as staggering as they claim to be? There are pros and cons to drinking celery juice. The roots of this trend are thought to be sparked by the Medical Medium, Anthony Williams, who continues to tout the superfood powers of celery juice.
Who is the Medical Medium behind the celery juice trend?
The health benefits of celery juice
Celery's Phytochemicals and its effect on Cancer
Anecdotal Evidence of Celery Juice working
Can celery juice be bad for you?
Not everyone should consume celery
Citrus and celery can cause sunburn
Celery is an allergen
Although juicing has been popular for some time now, why did celery become the juice of choice?
The trend was spearheaded by Anthony Williams. A medium who wrote Medical Medium Celery Juice: The Most Powerful Medicine of Our Time Healing Millions Worldwide. Williams has been claiming that there are amazing health benefits of celery juice for years now. He also penned Medical Medium Life-Changing Foods and Summary Medical Medium Thyroid Healing: The Truth Behind Hashimoto's, Graves', Insomnia, Hypothyroidism, Thyroid Nodules & Epstein-Barr. Although he calls himself a "Medical Medium", he is not a doctor or a dietitian. In fact, according to Williams, his information is coming from spirits in the future he's communicating with.
The Medical Medium way to drink celery juice is to drink 16oz of freshly juiced celery on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Then you can have breakfast 15-30 minutes later. The medium specifies that it must be pure celery juice to reap the benefits, and at least 16oz. For beginners, it's fine to drink less, or blend with other fruit or even space it between meals so long as the end goal is to get to the 16oz of pure celery juice.
The Medical Medium does not sell his own pre-made celery juice and is unlikely to condone purchasing some already made from other brands, as fresh celery juice is touted as best.
In a guest post for Goop, Gweneth Paltrow's lifestyle company, Williams explains that while eating celery stalks is important, it's not the same as juicing the herb. According to the Medical Medium, because the fiber is removed when juiced the healing benefits become more powerful and people are consuming more celery than they would by simply eating it.
He adds that one of the health benefits of celery juice is increasing and strengthening bile, which is needed to break down fat and eliminate waste from the body. This is because of what he calls "cluster salts". These cluster salts are "an undiscovered subgroup of sodium", not yet proven by science but Williams believes they kill toxins in the body.
Williams even appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, where he told Kim Kardashian her psoriasis is caused by too much copper in her liver. He determined this diagnosis after waving his hands around her body. Research does suggest that people with more serum copper levels are more likely to have psoriasis. It well established that copper level is determined by measuring the level in the blood or urine.
The only source saying that celery juice can "disarm toxic metals" comes from the Medical Medium himself, who says that celery juice's "sodium cluster salts" diffuse the charge from copper and other metals.
Although copper is an essential micro-mineral, too much copper can cause jaundice, irritability, and in severe cases damage to vital organs. Copper toxicity is rarely caused by natural copper in the diet, but usually from water tainted with copper and from taking too many supplements.
Kim Kardashian's sister, Kylie Jenner who also has psoriasis, jumped on the trend, along with many more influencers.
There can be reasons to believe that celery juice is good for you, based on the health benefits of celery alone.
Celery contains folate, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin K. The low-calorie vegetable is 95% water which means that although it contains vitamins and minerals, other vegetables are richer in nutrients. It is, however, a good source of vitamin K as there's 30% of the RDA of vitamin K in one cup of celery. While celery is low on vitamin C, vitamin A, and some B vitamins, it will still contribute to your daily needs of these nutrients.
One stalk of celery provides 3% of the RDA of potassium, 4% of the RDA of Vitamin A, 2% of the RDA of vitamin C, 2% of the RDA of calcium, and 3% of the RDA of fiber. One large stalk of celery equates to the 16oz of celery juice.
You need to consume one and a half sticks of celery for it to count as one of your 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day.
As celery contains phytochemicals such as luteolin and apigenin, it has antioxidant properties. As antioxidants protect the skin from free radical damage, it can leave regular celery consumers and even those drinking celery juice with more youthful-looking skin.
Celery is also claimed to have anti-cancer properties due to the presence of phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are compounds found in plants which developed to help them survive and outlast predators and pathogens. It is important to add that more research is needed to substantiate this claim. The research conducted on this topic has been on mice, human trials are needed to substantiate claims for treatment of humans.
Phytochemicals found in foods in our diets have had a long history with cancer treatment as they're safe, non-toxic, and easy to come by. Studies have shown that those with high consumption of fruit and vegetables have a lower risk of cancer. Not only do phytochemicals reduce the risk of cancer, but can also be helpful for those going through chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The American Cancer Society recommends that people consume 2 and a half cups of fruit and vegetables a day.
Limited research did find that both celery and green peppers can combat inflammation as they contain luteolin. However, this study looked at whole celery stalks, and not celery juice.
Although celery is good for you, is it the cure-all it is claimed to be by the Medical Medium?
Anecdotally, some followers of the trend believe that it works and that they have reaped the health benefits of celery juice. One writer who was curious about the health benefits of celery juice, challenged herself to drink it every morning for one week. In the end, she found that her skin was much clearer.
Youtuber, More Salt Please, also tried the week-long celery juice challenge. Although she admitted that it will take more than a week to see real results, she felt that she was craving fewer sweets, and had good digestion. She also encouraged people with acne to try it.
There are countless non-experts singing the praises of celery juice online. This has been magnified with celebrity attention to the fad. Remember that the roots of this fad are from a person claiming to communicate with spirits telling him to drink celery juice. That being said, consuming celery juice is rarely harmful. If you are otherwise healthy, consuming celery juice may be something to try to find out if there are any benefits for you.
A stalk of celery has 3% of the RDA of fiber, but celery juice has less. Juicing any fruit or vegetable can strip it from fiber and antioxidants. Although the Medical Medium believes that the removal of fiber from celery juice is good for you, it is well established that we need fiber to absorb nutrients in fruit and vegetables.
The big claim in the overall juice trend is that it detoxes your liver and kidneys. Our bodies already naturally detox themselves. By simply eating well and being active, our organs do the rest without the need of celery juice and other detox juices.
Juicing might strip fiber and antioxidants, but what it doesn't strip is sugar. Although celery is already low in sugar, it still gets concentrated in its juice form. One medium stalk of celery has only 1 gram of sugar, whereas 16oz of celery juice has 12 grams of sugar. As celery juice is already bitter, drinkers may be tempted to add more sugar to make it palatable. With the fiber removed from the juice, the sugar is absorbed quicker causing a spike in blood sugar level.
Celery is a natural diuretic due to the presence of butylphthalide. This triggers the kidneys to produce more urine. People who are pregnant, and those who may have issues with their kidneys or bladder may want to avoid celery juice as urinating more may put more strain on these organs. Celery juice is perfectly safe to drink during pregnancy, but the diuretic effect might be irritating. However, everyone else, and especially those who are bloated due to excess salt and water in their diet, might find the diuretic properties of celery juice to be a good thing.
Citrus fruits and celery have the potential to increase sensitivity to sunlight. Phytophotodermatitis is a condition where the skin that came into contact with the juices of celery or citrus fruits is more likely to get sunburnt. Drinking celery juice won't cause phytophotodermatitis but it's likely that your hands came into contact with some celery juice when making it. As our hands are one of the areas of our body with the most sun exposure, and often the one we forget to protect from the sun, this can be a bit worrying if you're going out into the sun after your morning glass of celery juice. Make sure you didn't spill any juice on yourself first, or either cover the areas that came in contact with the celery juice or use a strong SPF before going outside. Even carrots, parley, parsnip, and figs can cause phytophotodermatitis so keep this in mind when juicing.
Celery is also an allergen, people who are allergic to celery, celeriac, and celery seeds shouldn't partake in this superfood trend. Interestingly, allergic to celery can also be associated with an allergy to pollen, specifically birch pollen and mugwort pollen.
Despite the potential health benefits of celery juice, it's not something everyone should try.
To answer the question, is celery juice good for you? There are health benefits of celery juice such as the boost in vitamins and minerals. It also counts as one of your five portions of fruit and vegetables per day. However, claims made by the Medical Medium saying that its "undiscovered cluster salts" will cure conditions like psoriasis is unproven.
Despite this, celery juice is good for you in the sense that it's a vegetable, packed with vitamins and minerals, and in most cases there's nothing wrong with eating a stalk of celery.
Unlike most vegetables that lose nutrients as they cook, steamed celery is just as healthy as raw celery. Boiling can leach some nutrients, a lot remains. If you want more celery in your diet it's just as good cooked in a meal or as a light snack with your favorite spread.
If you're looking for a way to try to get some extra nutrients, celery juice will do the job but feel free to add in other vegetables to get a varied distribution of vitamins and minerals.
If you're hoping celery juice is good for treating medical conditions, you will find a lot of the claims unfounded. A better approach will be to speak to your medical team first.
If you're sure the diuretic effects and risk of phytophotodermatitis aren't reasons for concern, then drinking celery juice is mostly harmless.

Katy Perry is selling her big house
The housing market may be bouncing back for a lot of people, but not Katy Perry, because we've learned she's about to list her Hollywood Hills house for WAY less than the purchase price.
Katy bought the house with Russell Brand when they were married. She has full title and has been quietly trying to sell it for a long time, but she's not getting anywhere near the $8 million she wants.
Katy wanted to avoid putting the house in the multiple listing service — which is the Paul Revere of the real estate world. She wanted to sell the house on the down-low, but it's just not happening.
We've learned she's agreed to put the house in the MLS in 2 weeks, and she'll reduce the asking price to the mid 7s — as in millions. But here's the deal … Our real estate sources say she'll definitely sell it if someone offers in the high 6s.
The real estate market … hot again for most — cold for Katy.
QUICK INFO ABOUT KATY PERRY
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American recording artist, songwriter, and actress. Perry was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music, as a teen, under her birth name and released her debut self-titled studio album. She also recorded a second solo album which never received release. In 2007, she signed with Capitol Records and adopted her current stage name.

Far Cry 5 Welcomes You to Montana in the First Teaser Trailer
Mischa McGill
Following Far Cry 5's cryptic reveal last week, Ubisoft has released an even more cryptic teaser trailer for the game, and we're getting some pretty culty vibes from it. Check out the video below.
The teaser shows some tranquil, idyllic landscapes of the fictional Hope County, Montana, with some stomach-churning twists thrown in, of course.
A picturesque mountain scene is quickly interrupted by a pained human scream and crows taking flight. That sunny, serene river looks like a lovely place to take the family–except for the dead body floating by. A shot of a man booking it through a lush grassy field ends with the sound of gunfire. And although that church looks quaint enough, its bell is being rung by a dead man's skull as the choir sings a lovely rendition of "Amazing Grace." How sweet the sound, indeed.
The end of the teaser promises an official Far Cry 5 announcement trailer for May 26th.
This setting confirmation follows rumors that the next Far Cry would take place in Montana, and some leaks on Reddit are cluing us in on the game's ominous plot.
A man who claims to have been part of a Far Cry 5 focus group says the story follows a "religious cult" made up of "Doomsday-preppers bent on furthering their cause." The poster also says that Far Cry 5's main antagonist is a "shirtless lunatic leader brandishing an assault rifle in one hand and a Bible in the other."
The poster cautions readers than he, of course, has no solid proof of these claims, which also could have been changed since his 2016 focus group. These leaks posted days before the teaser trailer, and they sound pretty on par with the vibes we're getting from Hope County, Montana so far.
Let's just hope this cult isn't quite an intense as the Outlast 2 bunch. *shudders*
Far Cry 5 will likely be featured in Ubisoft's upcoming E3 presentation, and we'll keep you posted on the latest.
Mischa grew up with video games and still has a deep love for many - especially fun, colorful RPGs. Some of her favorites include Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fantasy Life, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Civilization V, and Stardew Valley. She loves nights in with her boyfriend cooking Mexican food, watching Studio Ghibli movies, and going head-to-head in their favorite games. Mischa might not beat you in Super Smash Bros, but she owns a replica of Arwen's sword and Hermione's wand, so... don't rub it in too much. |
\section{Introduction}
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory \citep[INTEGRAL][]{winkler03}, which launched in 2002, has uncovered a large number of new or previously poorly studied sources by surveying the sky and Galaxy in the $\sim$20-100\,keV band. These are called ``INTEGRAL Gamma-Ray'' (IGR) sources. To produce emission in this energy band requires particles to be accelerated to high energies, and most of the IGR sources are places where extreme physics is taking place. In many cases, the extreme physics is related to accretion onto compact objects (black holes, neutron stars, or magnetic white dwarfs) or to highly-magnetized neutron stars (pulsars or magnetars).
An INTEGRAL catalog based on 8 years of observations includes 939 persistent and transient sources detected above the 4.5$\sigma$ significance level in the 17--100\,keV band \citep{bird16}. The largest groups of sources include 369 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), 129 Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), 116 High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), and 56 Cataclysmic Variables (CVs). Of the 939 sources, the source type was unknown for 219 at the time \cite{bird16} was written. The 939 sources include both previously known sources and 447 IGR sources. The main reasons that INTEGRAL has found new (IGR) sources are: 1. the relatively large field of view has allowed for the full sky to be covered; 2. the high-energy bandpass is not affected by Galactic absorption; and 3. most high-energy sources are transient or variable. While there are many notable sources among the IGR sources, INTEGRAL's capabilities have been especially good for finding new HMXBs, including a population of obscured HMXBs \citep{mg03,walter06} and a population of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients \citep{negueruela06,sguera06,romano14}.
While the \cite{bird16} analysis was carried out for INTEGRAL observations of the whole sky and included enhancements for finding transient sources, another INTEGRAL analysis effort has focused on sources within $17.5^{\circ}$ of the Galactic plane \citep{krivonos12}. The \cite{krivonos12} 9-year survey resulted in detections of 402 sources. While these included persistent and transient sources, the search focused on sources that were detected in the combined 9-years of observations, which favors the detection of persistent sources. The most recent report on this survey used 14 years of INTEGRAL data \citep{krivonos17}, and we selected sources from this catalog for the current work.
The current work is focused on making progress toward classifying IGR sources of currently unknown nature by observing a selection of them with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. INTEGRAL provides detections, high-energy spectra, and localization with 90\% confidence uncertainties of $1^{\prime}$--$5^{\prime}$, depending on source strength. With such positional uncertainties, it is not usually possible to identify an optical or near-IR counterpart, especially in the Galactic plane. Thus, the most important information that Chandra can provide is a more precise source position. In addition, with its 0.3--10\,keV coverage, Chandra provides information about the soft X-ray energy spectrum. We have carried out similar studies in the past \citep[e.g.,][]{tomsick12a,tomsick16}, and many of the analysis techniques that we employ in this work are the same as described in \cite{tomsick20}.
\subsection{Target Selection}
We selected targets to observe with Chandra from the 72 new sources detected in the 17--60\,keV band and reported in the 14-year INTEGRAL catalog \citep{krivonos17}. This catalog includes only sources that were not detected in the previous catalog version \citep{krivonos12}. We eliminated sources with likely or definite classifications and with previous coverage with Chandra, XMM-Newton, or Swift. As our scientific focus is on Galactic sources, we also used Galactic latitude as a criterion, and |$b$| is between $0.23^{\circ}$ and $6.27^{\circ}$ for the sources we study in this work. We obtained Chandra observations for eight sources in Chandra cycle 20 (observations carried out in 2019) and five sources during cycle 19. Results from three of the cycle 19 observations are reported in \cite{hare19} and Hare et al., submitted to ApJ, providing classifications of one HMXB and two magnetic CVs. We report the results for the Chandra observations for the other two sources in this work.
In summary, we are reporting on short ($\sim$5\,ks) Chandra observations of the 10 IGR sources listed in Table~\ref{tab:krivonos}. They are listed in order of how close they are to a Galactic latitude of $b = 0^{\circ}$. In addition to the INTEGRAL source coordinates, we provide the flux and detection significance from \cite{krivonos17}. We note that \cite{krivonos17} does not provide position uncertainties for individual sources but indicates that the 90\% confidence INTEGRAL error radii are typically $3.6^{\prime}$. In Section 2, we describe the Chandra observations, analysis, and results, including searching for Chandra counterparts to the IGR sources, carrying out Chandra photometry, and providing X-ray localizations. Section 3 includes the results of fitting Chandra and INTEGRAL energy spectra. In Section 4, we search for multi-wavelength counterparts using the accurate Chandra localizations. Section 5 and 6 include discussion of the results and conclusions, respectively.
\section{Chandra Observations, Analysis, and Results}
Table~\ref{tab:obs} provides the basic information for the ten Chandra observations, which occurred between 2018 February 20 and 2019 May 29. We used the ACIS-I instrument \citep{garmire03} with exposure times of $\sim$5000\,s, which is sufficient to expect $>$100 counts based on the INTEGRAL fluxes and extrapolation of a hard power-law into the Chandra bandpass. The field of view of the four ACIS-I chips is $16.9^{\prime} \times 16.9^{\prime}$, which easily contains the 90\% confidence INTEGRAL error regions with one pointing per source. In each case, the pointing positions are the INTEGRAL positions given in Table~\ref{tab:krivonos}.
We reduced the data using the Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations \citep[CIAO,][]{fruscione06} version 4.13 software with the Calibration Database (CALDB) version 4.9.4, largely following instructions in the CIAO science threads\footnote{See http://asc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/index.html}. We used {\ttfamily chandra\_repro} for reprocessing the data, resulting in a photon list along with other instrument files.
We created exposure-corrected images in the 0.3--10 keV band for each of the 10 Chandra observations using {\ttfamily fluximage}. These images were then combed for sources by applying the wave detection algorithm {\ttfamily wavdetect}, using wavelets with scales of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 32, and with a detection threshold set to produce just one spurious source among the detection results. The number of sources detected for each observation is given in Table~\ref{tab:shifts}.
In order to account for any systematic uncertainty in our Chandra astrometry due to telescope pointing, we compared the detected source positions with several optical and near-IR catalogs using {\ttfamily wcs\_match}, and shifted the source positions for each ObsID accordingly. The catalogs we used to match our detected Chandra sources include Gaia EDR3 \citep{gaia_edr3}, the Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey by the Visual and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy \citep[VISTA;][]{minniti10, mcmahon13, minniti17}, the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey \citep[UKIDSS;][]{lucas08}, and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System \citep[PanSTARRS;][]{chambers16}. For each observation we chose the survey that provided the most cross-matches with our Chandra sources, while ignoring the candidate IGR counterpart (when applicable, see Section~2.1 for details on counterpart selection), and these results are provided in Table~\ref{tab:shifts}. We also include the average and maximum residuals between the Chandra and optical/near-IR catalog positions, after translation of the Chandra coordinates. In observations where fewer than 3 cross-matches were found, as was the case for ObsIDs 21248, 21250, 21251, and 21252, we did not shift the Chandra positions.
We performed Chandra aperture photometry to determine the number of counts for all of the detected sources. We made a point spread function (PSF) map using {\ttfamily mkpsfmap}\footnote{We later realized that {\ttfamily fluximage} can provide this same map.} for an energy of 2.3\,keV (the typical average photon energy for the full 0.3--10\,keV Chandra bandpass), and determined the 95\% encircled energy radius for each source. After defining background regions for each observation, we used {\ttfamily dmextract} to extract background-subtracted counts in the 0.3--2\,keV, 2--10\,keV, and 0.3--10\,keV energy bands.
\subsection{Selecting the Most Likely Counterparts}
As in previous work \citep[e.g.,][]{tomsick20}, we calculated the probability that sources with the brightnesses we observe would be found in a search area with a radius of $\theta_{\rm search}$ by chance. In cases where the source is within the 90\% confidence INTEGRAL error radius ($\theta_{INTEGRAL}$), $\theta_{\rm search} = \theta_{INTEGRAL}$ = $3.6^{\prime}$. If the source is outside the INTEGRAL error circle, then $\theta_{\rm search}$ is equal to the angular distance from the best estimate of the INTEGRAL position. Another factor that is important in determining the probability that the Chandra/INTEGRAL association is spurious is the brightness of the source.
As in \cite{tomsick20}, we determine the relative probabilities for all sources using
\begin{equation}
P_{\rm rel} = 1 - e^{-(\frac{C_{2-10\,\rm keV}}{C_{0}})^{-1.0}~\pi~\theta_{\rm search}^{2}}~~~,
\end{equation}
where $C_{2-10\,\rm keV}$ is the number of counts in the 2--10\,keV band, $C_{0}$ is a normalization constant set to a value of 140 so that the brightest sources have $P_{\rm rel}$ values near 1\%, and we use --1.0 as the slope of the $\log{N}$-$\log{S}$, which is intermediate between previously published profiles \citep{sugizaki01,fornasini14}. In our case, with all of the observations having the same exposure, it is valid to use counts (as opposed to count rates) for this calculation. The $P_{\rm rel}$ values for all the sources detected in the ten Chandra observations are plotted in Figure~\ref{fig:prel}. This results in the field sources clustering at low numbers of counts and high values of $P_{\rm rel}$. For six of the IGR fields (IGR~J17040--4305, IGR~J18017--3542, IGR~J18112--2641, IGR~J18434--0508, IGR~J19504+3318, and IGR~J20084+3221), there are clear Chandra counterparts that are well-separated from the field sources. There are also potential counterparts in the IGR~J18010--3045 and the IGR~J19577+3339 fields. The IGR~J12529--6351 and IGR~J18013--3222 fields do not appear to have likely counterparts.
The candidate Chandra source in the IGR~J19577+3339 field has $P_{\rm rel} = 16.4$\%, which is the highest spurious association probability of any of the eight candidates we consider, and Figure~\ref{fig:prel} shows that there are even some field sources with lower probabilities. However, searching in VizieR at this position finds a likely match with the radio source ICRF~J195740.5+333827. The Chandra and radio Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) positions are consistent with a separation of $0.56^{\prime\prime}\pm 0.93^{\prime\prime}$ (90\% confidence). This is a bright radio source with a flux of $295\pm 9$\,mJy at 1.4\,GHz that appears in a number of radio catalogs. The radio source is suspected to be an AGN, but no redshift has been measured. Although the X-ray source is faint, the combination of the hardness of its spectrum, the fact that it is only $1.12^{\prime}$ from the center of the INTEGRAL error circle, and the likely association with the bright radio source make it necessary for us to consider this candidate.
For the eight candidates, Table~\ref{tab:positions} gives the Chandra names and positions, the angular distance from the center of the INTEGRAL error circle ($\theta$), the number of ACIS counts in the 0.3--10\,keV band, and the hardness ratio. The uncertainties in the candidate positions include systematic and statistical contributions added in quadrature. We use the standard $0.8''$ systematic uncertainty (at the 90\% confidence level)\footnote{See http://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cal/ASPECT/celmon/} for each source. For the statistical uncertainty, we calculate the 90\% confidence intervals following equation 13 from \cite{kim07a}, which uses the number of counts as well as the angular distance of the source from the Chandra aimpoint. The Chandra counterpart to IGR~J18112--2641 has the greatest separation from its INTEGRAL position, at $6.05^{\prime}$. We also include the potential counterpart to IGR~J18010--3045 in Table~\ref{tab:positions} as well as in the rest of our analysis, although we cannot be as confident (with fewer counts and a separation of $5.95^{\prime}$) that the detected Chandra source is a true match.
In Section 3, we determine fluxes for the eight most likely counterpart candidates and use previously measured surface density ($\log{N}$-$\log{S}$) profiles \citep{sugizaki01,fornasini14} to calculate absolute spurious probabilities for the Chandra/INTEGRAL associations.
\section{Chandra Energy Spectra}
For the eight candidate counterparts, we extracted Chandra energy spectra using {\ttfamily specextract}. We used the same source regions (circles with radii corresponding to 95\% encircled energy) and background regions as for the photometry. We rebinned the spectra with the requirement of a detection in each bin at the 3--5$\sigma$ level, depending on the total number of counts in the spectrum. The one exception is J19577, for which we binned to 1.5$\sigma$ because the spectrum only includes 10 counts. We used XSPEC \citep{arnaud96} to fit the Chandra spectra with an absorbed power-law model, and the parameters are reported in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}. One of the bright sources, J17040, was also located close to the center of the field of view where the PSF is small. This resulted in significant photon pile-up, and we included the XSPEC model {\ttfamily pileup} \citep{davis01} to account for this in the spectral fitting. Photon pile-up does not impact the spectra of the other sources. We performed the fits by minimizing the C-statistic, and we give the $C$ values and number of degrees of freedom (dof) in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}.
We use the $C$ values and the variances in $C$ \citep[see][]{kaastra17} to assess the quality of the fits. The $P_{\rm reject}$ values in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch} indicate the probability that an absorbed power-law does not provide a good description of the spectrum. The $P_{\rm reject}$ value is only meaningful if $C$ is larger than the number of dof, and this is only the case for J17040 (41\%), J19504 (41\%), and J20084 (77\%). For these three sources the largest residuals are single bins at 6.7\,keV (3.6$\sigma$ above the continuum), 1.7\,keV (2.8$\sigma$ above the continuum), and 6.5\,keV (2.7$\sigma$ above the continuum), respectively. While there is no immediate interpretation for the 1.7\,keV residual, it is possible that J17040 and J20084 have iron K$\alpha$ emission lines.
Adding a narrow line for J17040 improves the fit to $C$/dof = 11/17, and the parameters, with 90\% confidence uncertainties, are $E_{\rm line} = 6.7\pm 0.1$\,keV and $N_{\rm line} = (6.4^{+19}_{-3.6})\times 10^{-5}$\,ph\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$. The equivalent width is $EW = 1.5^{+8.5}_{-1.5}$\,keV, where the uncertainties come from simulations using the {\ttfamily eqwidth} command in XSPEC. Although the improvement in the fit and the fact that $N_{\rm line}$ is greater than zero at the 90\% confidence level indicate that an iron line may be present, this is not a robust detection for at least three reasons: 1. The small value of $C$ relative to the number of dof suggests that adding the emission line may be over-fitting the spectrum; 2. $P_{\rm reject} = 41$\% indicates that it is fairly likely (59\%) that a power-law provides a good description of the spectrum; and 3. The simulations for determining the $EW$ indicate that the data are consistent with $EW=0$ at 90\% confidence.
For J20084, adding a narrow line improves the fit to $C$/dof = 7/7, and the parameters are $E_{\rm line} = 6.7^{+0.1}_{-0.5}$\,keV, $N_{\rm line} = (3.1^{+2.9}_{-2.4})\times 10^{-5}$\,ph\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$, and $EW = 0.9^{+1.3}_{-0.8}$\,keV. We estimate the significance of the emission line by determining the confidence level that makes the $N_{\rm line}$ error range consistent with zero, which is $\Delta C = 7.7$. This indicates a significance of approximately 99.2\%, which corresponds to a 2.6$\sigma$ detection.
We use the fluxes resulting from the spectral fits to determine the absolute spurious source probabilities for the eight Chandra candidates. As in \cite{tomsick20}, we use
\begin{equation}
N(>F_{2-10~\rm keV,abs}) = 9.2(F_{2-10~\rm keV,abs}/10^{-13})^{-0.79}\,{\rm deg}^{-2}~~~,
\end{equation}
which is based on the $\log{N}$-$\log{S}$ curve for Galactic sources detected by the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics \citep[ASCA;][]{sugizaki01}, and we also use
\begin{equation}
N(>F_{2-10~\rm keV,unabs}) = 36(F_{2-10~\rm keV,unabs}/10^{-13})^{-1.24}\,{\rm deg}^{-2}~~~,
\end{equation}
which is based on Chandra observations of the Norma region of the Galactic plane \citep{fornasini14} and includes Galactic sources and AGN. In both cases, the 2--10\,keV flux range is used, and while \cite{sugizaki01} simply use the absorbed fluxes, \cite{fornasini14} make a correction for Galactic absorption. Thus, from the power-law fits, we provide in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch} both the absorbed 2--10\,keV fluxes as well as fluxes with an absorption correction. We correct for the best fit value of $N_{\rm H}$ unless it is larger than the Galactic value from \cite{bb16}, in which case, we correct for $N_{\rm H,Galactic}$ (also given in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}). The resulting absorption corrections are relatively small.
With these fluxes and the two $\log{N}$-$\log{S}$ curves, we use
\begin{equation}
P = 1 - e^{-N(>F_{2-10~\rm keV})~\pi~\theta_{\rm search}^{2}}
\end{equation}
to calculate the absolute probability of finding a source in the search region (defined by $\theta_{\rm search}$ as described in Section 2.1) as bright as the candidate sources by chance. The ranges of probabilities (from the two $\log{N}$-$\log{S}$ curves) for each source are given in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}. This shows that the candidate Chandra counterparts to J17040, J20084, and J18454 are very unlikely ($<$1\%) to be detected in the search regions by chance. Also, the candidates to J19504 and J18017 are unlikely (one to a few percent) to be chance detections. The J18112, J19577, and J18010 candidates have somewhat higher spurious probabilities (5.8--8.9\%, 4.9--12\%, and 10--21\%, respectively), and although, in the following, we perform the same analyses for these three as for the other five, they may possibly be field sources rather than the actual counterpart to the IGR sources (although see Section 2.1 concerning the association of J19577 with a bright radio source).
Figure~\ref{fig:spectra} shows the Chandra spectra with the absorbed power-law fits. As given in Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}, the spectra have hard power-law photon indices with best fit values between $\Gamma$ = --0.6 and 1.8. In Figure~\ref{fig:spectra}, we have added a 17--60\,keV point measured by INTEGRAL \citep{krivonos17} for comparison to the extrapolation of the power-law. In making this comparison, it is important to keep in mind that the INTEGRAL flux point is an average over 14 years while the Chandra spectra are a single observation. Thus, differences can be related to source variability or to a change in spectral slope between the Chandra band and the INTEGRAL band. The 17--60\,keV flux point is lower than the extrapolation of the power-law for J17040, J18010, J18017, J18434, J19577, and J20084, which makes it possible that the spectrum has a break or a cutoff above 10\,keV. These are also the six sources with the hardest power-law indices (best fit $\Gamma$ values between --0.6 and 0.7). For J18112, the 17--60\,keV point is consistent with the power-law extrapolation.
Although the softest source (J19504 with $\Gamma = 1.8\pm 0.3$) has a 17--60\,keV point that is higher than the power-law extrapolation, a re-inspection of the INTEGRAL image shows significant noise in the part of the sky where J19504 lies due to the proximity to the bright source Cygnus~X-1. In fact, J19504 clearly sits on top of a positive noise artifact, indicating that the INTEGRAL flux reported in \cite{krivonos17} and shown in Figure~\ref{fig:spectra} is an overestimation.
\section{Optical/IR Identifications}
We used the VizieR database to search for optical/IR counterparts to the eight Chandra sources. In Table~\ref{tab:gaia3}, we provide details on the matches found using Gaia EDR3, including the $G$-, $BP$-, and $RP$-band magnitudes, the parallax, the astrometric noise, and the proper motion. For three of the sources, a reliable distance measurement is available, and we quote the geometric distances\footnote{Although the \cite{bj21} catalog includes both geometric and photogeometric distances, we use the geometric distances because the colors of the sources we are studying may deviate from the assumptions made for the photogeometric distances.} calculated by \cite{bj21}. Those distances are $0.937\pm 0.046$\,kpc, $1.58\pm 0.13$\,kpc, and $3.0^{+1.2}_{-0.9}$\,kpc, for J17040, J18017, and J18434, respectively. These three sources also have high proper motions as do J18112 ($5.74\pm 0.09$ milliarcsec/yr) and J20084 ($4.77\pm 0.23$ milliarcsec/yr). Thus, we conclude that all five of these sources are Galactic. J19504 has a proper motion of $0.12\pm 0.17$ milliarcsec/year, which is consistent with zero. The small proper motion does not distinguish between a Galactic or extragalactic nature for J19504, but it does allow for the possibility that the source is extragalactic. The Gaia counterpart to J18010 does not have parallax or proper motion measurements, presumably because it is too faint. J19577 does not have a Gaia counterpart. The closest Gaia source is $1.5^{\prime\prime}$ away.
Although the \cite{bj21} catalog provides distance estimates for J18112, J19504, and J20084, it also provides information about these estimates suggesting that they may not be reliable. For J18112 and J19504, the astrometric noise is larger than the value of the parallax (Table~\ref{tab:gaia3}). For J20084, while there is no astrometric noise, the uncertainty on the parallax is almost twice that of the parallax value, and Figure~6 in \cite{bj21} shows that, in such cases, the distance estimate is highly dependent on the prior distribution assumed.
We also used VizieR to search for AllWISE \citep{cutri21} IR counterparts to the eight Chandra sources. We found just two matches in the AllWISE catalog. These are for the Chandra counterparts to J19504 and J20084. Both AllWISE counterparts are consistent with being point-sources according to the extended source parameter "ex," which has a value of zero in both cases. The J19504 counterpart is AllWISE~J195019.73+331416.3, which has magnitudes of $W1 = 12.057\pm 0.025$, $W2 = 11.209\pm 0.020$, $W3 = 9.028\pm 0.026$, and $W4 = 7.14\pm 0.10$. The $W1$-$W2$ and $W2$-$W3$ colors place J19504 is a region of the near-IR color plot that is commonly populated by AGN \citep{mateos12,secrest15}. We have also checked the near-IR colors for J20084, but it does not fall in the AGN region. The positions of both of the AllWISE sources are consistent with the Gaia positions to within $<$0.3$^{\prime\prime}$.
In Table~\ref{tab:nir}, we include the other identifications from the results of VizieR searches, focusing our results to the near-IR matches. These include those matches found in VISTA VVV \citep{minniti10, mcmahon13, minniti17}, the 2 Micron All-Sky Survey, \citep[2MASS;][]{cutri03}, UKIDSS \citep{lucas08}, and PanSTARRS \citep{chambers16}. Across these four survey catalogs, we have measurements of the source magnitudes in the $Y$, $J$, $H$, and $K$/$K_{s}$ bands, except for J18010, which does not have a reliable $Y$-band measurement due to the source being too faint at those wavelengths. In all cases, the near-IR positions are consistent with the Gaia positions. In Figure~\ref{fig:nir_k} we provide the $K$/$K_{s}$ images of the region in the sky covering each Chandra counterpart's position, marked with a red circle in each image. Figure~\ref{fig:nir_y} provides the $Y$-band images for each of the eight Chandra counterparts as well. The images for J19577 show that there is no optical or near-IR counterpart in the Chandra error circle. Also, the VLBI radio position, which is inside the Chandra error circle, is marked.
In summary, by utilizing the Chandra counterpart positions and searching the VizieR database, we are able to find optical/IR counterparts for seven sources and a radio counterpart for J19577. From the Gaia EDR3 data, we established distances to three sources, while the proper motions of two of the remaining sources indicate that they are also Galactic in nature. For J19504, the fact that the AllWISE colors place it in a region populated by AGN suggest that J19504 is an AGN, and while the low proper motion in Gaia does not prove that the source is extragalactic, it is consistent with that interpretation. The near-IR counterpart information, including magnitudes, is provided in Table~\ref{tab:nir} and Figures~\ref{fig:nir_k} and \ref{fig:nir_y}.
The VizieR search also uncovered counterparts in the VST\footnote{Very Large Telescope (VLT) Survey Telescope} Photometric H$\alpha$ Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+ Data Release 2) for J17040 and J18434 \citep{drew16}. For J17040, the counterpart is VPHASDR2 J170405.0--430538.0 with magnitudes of $15.68\pm 0.01$ for the H$\alpha$ filter, $r = 16.10\pm 0.01$, and $i = 15.47\pm 0.01$. For J18434, the counterpart is VPHASDR2 J184311.4--050545.5 with magnitudes of $17.83\pm 0.02$ (H$\alpha$), $r = 18.31\pm 0.01$, and $i = 17.71\pm 0.01$. These correspond to $r$--H$\alpha$ = $0.42\pm 0.01$ and $r$--$i$ = $0.63\pm 0.01$ for J17040 and $r$--H$\alpha$ = $0.48\pm 0.02$ and $r$--$i$ = $0.60\pm 0.01$ for J18434. Comparing to the field star distribution in figure 17 of \cite{drew14}, these measurements indicate that J17040 and J18434 have an excess at H$\alpha$, suggesting the presence of an emission line.
\section{Sources without clear Chandra counterparts to the IGR sources}
The Chandra observations for IGR~J18013--3222 and IGR~J12529--6351 did not lead to detections of clear counterparts, but here we consider the Chandra sources in each field with the lowest values of $P_{\rm rel}$.
For J18013, the sources with the lowest values of $P_{\rm rel}$ have values of 37.2\% and 33.5\%, indicating that there is a high chance that they are spurious. In addition, the one with $P_{\rm rel} = 33.5$\%, CXOU~J180143.1--321540, is $8.4^{\prime}$ from the center of the INTEGRAL error circle, which is another reason to doubt that it is the correct counterpart. Within the $3.6^{\prime}$ INTEGRAL error circle, the brightest Chandra source only has 4 counts. We conclude that the upper limit on the 2--10\,keV flux is $<$$1\times 10^{-13}$\,erg\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$.
For J12529, CXOU~J125231.0--635021 is within the INTEGRAL error circle and has $P_{\rm rel} = 24$\% and $5.7\pm 3.6$ detected ACIS counts. While this is a small number, they are all $>2$\,keV, suggesting that it is a hard source. It is possible that this is the correct counterpart of the INTEGRAL source, but the evidence is not strong enough to consider it as a likely counterpart. We conclude that the upper limit on the 2--10\,keV flux is $<$$1\times 10^{-13}$\,erg\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$.
\section{Discussion}
From Chandra observations of 10 IGR sources, we have found definite or candidate soft X-ray counterparts in eight cases. The Chandra positions provide information about the multi-wavelength properties of these sources, and we discuss the nature of the sources based on the X-ray and multi-wavelength information.
\subsection{Galactic Sources with Distances}
J17040, J18017, and J18434 are the three sources with distance constraints from Gaia (Table~\ref{tab:gaia3}). Based on the X-ray fluxes measured by Chandra (Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}) the 2--10\,keV luminosities are $(7.9\pm 0.8)\times 10^{32}$, $(2.1\pm 0.4)\times 10^{32}$, and ($4.2^{+3.4}_{-2.6})\times 10^{33}$\,erg\,s$^{-1}$, respectively. Based on these X-ray luminosities and the hardness of the spectra, the emission is not from isolated stars (consistent with them being detected by INTEGRAL), and the most likely possibility would be that these are accreting binaries, such as CVs or X-ray binaries. For sources with X-ray spectra with power-law photon indices of $\Gamma < 1$, there are two types of binaries that are the most likely possibilities: magnetic CVs, such as intermediate polars, and HMXBs with highly magnetized neutron stars. The magnetic CVs typically have late-type donor stars, while the HMXBs have O or B type stars (by definition). In the following, we use the distances and near-IR magnitudes to consider the most likely classifications for J17040, J18017, and J18434.
Interpreting the near-IR magnitudes of these sources (Table~\ref{tab:nir}) requires that we correct them for Galactic extinction, and we have used 3D dust maps to determine this. For J17040 and J18017, we use the {\ttfamily mwdust} code\footnote{See https://github.com/jobovy/mwdust} \citep{bovy16} to obtain the $E(B-V)$ values shown in Table~\ref{tab:distances}. The errors come from the $E(B-V)$ range for the Gaia distance range. For J18434, we use the Bayestar19 map from \cite{green19}, accessing $E(g-r)$ values using a web interface\footnote{See http://argonaut.skymaps.info/query} and multiplying by 0.94 to convert to $E(B-V)$\footnote{See http://argonaut.skymaps.info/usage}. In Table~\ref{tab:distances}, $A_{V} = 3.1 E(B-V)$, $A_{J} = 0.260 A_{V}$, and $A_{J}$--$A_{H}$ = 0.090 $A_{V}$ \citep{fitzpatrick99}. We correct the $J$ and $H$ magnitudes in Table~\ref{tab:nir} for extinction, obtaining $J$--$H$--($A_{J}$-$A_{H}$) values of $0.061^{+0.007}_{-0.008}$, --$0.030^{+0.016}_{-0.017}$, and $0.63\pm 0.27$ for J17040, J18017, and J18434, respectively.
Using tables of stellar colors from \cite{pm13}, we find that the measured colors correspond to temperatures of $T_{\rm eff} = 7680\pm 90$, $9600\pm 800$, and 2200--5300\,K for the three sources (Table~\ref{tab:nir}). We also calculated the absolute $J$-band magnitudes, $M_{J}$, using the values of $J$, $A_{J}$, and the Gaia distances. Although we do not know if the near-IR emission is coming from a star or not, the values of $M_{J}$ place limits on the main sequence spectral types of a star in the system, and we determine these limits using tables of main sequence stellar magnitudes and colors \citep{pm13}. As shown in Table~\ref{tab:distances}, the spectral type limits for J17040 and J18017 indicate temperatures of $<$5100 and $<$5770\,K, respectively, which are less than the values derived from the colors. This suggests that the near-IR is dominated by hot emission from an accretion disk. On the other hand, for J18434, $M_{J}$ indicates a temperature limit of $<$4400\,K, which is consistent with the color temperature. Thus, based on this analysis, it is possible that the near-IR emission for J18434 comes from a cool star.
We repeated the color and magnitude analysis using the optical magnitudes from Gaia. In Table~\ref{tab:distances}, $A_{G} = 0.90 A_{V}$ and $A_{BP}$--$A_{RP}$ = 0.51 $A_{V}$ \citep{fitzpatrick99}. For J17040 and J18017, the results are similar to the near-IR in that they show higher values of $T_{\rm eff}$ based on the colors than the temperature ($T_{\rm type}$) of a star of spectral type consistent with the observed absolute magnitude. Although the $T_{\rm eff}$ temperatures from the optical are not formally consistent with the near-IR, the measurements are still consistent with emission from an accretion disk, and the different temperatures may be caused by source variability. In addition, for J18434, $T_{\rm eff} > 7900$\,K while $T_{\rm type}$ is constrained to be lower. Since the Gaia and near-IR measurements are made at different times, the likely interpretation is that J18434 also has emission from a variable accretion disk. A comparison of the VISTA and PanSTARRS magnitudes provides additional evidence that J18434 is variable in the optical and near-IR (Table~\ref{tab:nir}). The evidence for H$\alpha$ emission lines for J17040 and J18434 from the VPHAS+ survey presented in Section~4 is consistent with emission from an accretion disk for these two sources.
Given the presence of hard X-ray emission, finding evidence for an accretion disk is expected. The presence of accretion, the evidence for late-type companions, and the very hard values of the X-ray power-law index suggests a possible magnetic CV nature. For J17040, $\Gamma = 0.2\pm 0.4$, which indicates that a magnetic CV nature is very likely. The power-law photon index is not as well constrained for J18017 ($\Gamma = 0.0^{+1.7}_{-1.3}$), but the source may also be a magnetic CV. At $\Gamma = 0.7\pm 0.3$, J18434 is somewhat softer than J17040, but we still consider it to be a strong magnetic CV candidate.
\subsection{Other Galactic Sources}
J18112 and J20084 both have large Gaia-measured proper motions and are Galactic, but the source distances are not known. Both have hard spectra with $\Gamma = 0.9^{+0.7}_{-0.5}$ for J18112 and $0.1^{+0.4}_{-0.2}$ for J20084, suggesting that they may be magnetic CVs or HMXBs.
In the direction of J18112 ($l = 4.78^{\circ}$, $b$ = --3.83$^{\circ}$, which is in the Galactic bulge), $E(B-V)$ increases from 0.14 at a distance ($d$) of 500\,pc and reaches a maximum of 0.68 at $d = 4$\,kpc \citep{bovy16}. At 500\,pc and using the near-IR magnitudes in Table~\ref{tab:nir}, $J$--$H$--($A_{J}$--$A_{H}$) = 0.615, corresponding to $T_{\rm eff} = 3660$\,K, which is the temperature for an early M-type star. The absolute magnitude at 500\,pc would be $M_{J} = 5.34$, corresponding to a late K-type main sequence star. It is clear that the nearby distance scenario strongly disfavors the HMXB possibility. For distances $>$4\,kpc, $J$--$H$--($A_{J}$--$A_{H}$) = $0.463\pm 0.011$, corresponding to $T_{\rm eff}$ = 4830--5100\,K (K2V-K3V). The absolute magnitude is $M_{J} < 0.39$ for $d > 4$\,kpc. While the absolute magnitude at large distances allows for the presence of a high-mass companion star, the low temperature derived from the colors is inconsistent with this scenario. Thus, we conclude that a magnetic CV with a low-mass star is strongly favored. The brightness in the near-IR may indicate that the companion is an evolved giant star. However, there also may be a component of the emission from an accretion disk based on the fact that J18112 is variable in the $Y$-band (Table~\ref{tab:nir}).
J20084 is essentially in the middle of the Galactic plane ($b$ = --0.23$^{\circ}$), and it has relatively high extinction. Using \cite{green19}, we find $E(B-V) > 1.5$ if the distance is $>$1.8\,kpc and $E(B-V) > 2.0$ if $d > 4.5$\,kpc. Given the near-IR magnitudes (Table~\ref{tab:nir}), $J$--$H$--($A_{J}$--$A_{H}$) is $<$0.30 at the lower distance and $<$0.16 for larger distances. These colors correspond to temperature limits of $T_{\rm eff} > 5900$\,K and $>$6700\,K. Without a distance, $M_{J}$ is highly uncertain. At a distance of 4.5\,kpc and $A_{J} = 1.6$, $M_{J} = 1.2$, which would indicate an early-A spectral type if the stellar component dominates the near-IR emission. However, the distance could be larger, which would make the spectral type even earlier. Thus, we cannot rule out the possibility that J20084 is an HMXB.
\subsection{Sources with Likely AGN Classifications}
The evidence that J19504 is an AGN is primarily based on the fact that its WISE colors place it in the AGN region. Although it is marked as an extended source in PanSTARRS (Table~\ref{tab:nir}), it is unclear whether it is truly extended or if the nearby and partially blended star (Figure~\ref{fig:nir_y}) is the reason it is flagged as extended in the PanSTARRS processing. The Gaia measurements give a negative parallax and a proper motion consistent with zero (Table~\ref{tab:gaia3}), which is consistent with but does not prove the AGN hypothesis. J19504 is also an outlier in it X-ray spectral parameters with a softer power-law slope ($\Gamma = 1.8\pm 0.3$) and possible evidence for absorption greater than the Galactic value (Table~\ref{tab:spectra_ch}). We conclude that IGR~J19504+3318 is very likely to be an AGN, but more proof is needed.
For J19577, even though the flux of the Chandra counterpart allows for the possibility that it is unrelated to the INTEGRAL source, the fact that the source is actually more unusual in being a 295\,mJy radio source increases the likelihood that it is related to IGR~J19577+3339. The radio source does not have a redshift. We conclude that IGR~J19577+3339 is likely to be an AGN.
\subsection{Unclassified Sources}
While three sources remain unclassified (J18010, J18013, and J12529), this study has provided useful information. For J18010, there is a candidate Chandra counterpart with a relatively hard spectrum that extrapolates to a flux in the INTEGRAL bandpass that is consistent with the flux measured by INTEGRAL (Figure~\ref{fig:spectra}). In addition, the Chandra position is consistent with an optical/near-IR source detected by Gaia (although it is too faint for a distance or proper motion measurement) and VISTA. The $K_{s}$-band magnitude is $15.640\pm 0.095$, which is bright enough to obtain a near-IR spectrum, which would greatly help in the classification of this source. We also note that the source is $<$$4^{\circ}$ from the center of the Galaxy, which increases the probability that it is Galactic.
Neither J18013 nor J12529 have likely Chandra counterparts. The flux upper limits are low enough compared to the flux measured by INTEGRAL that the source is likely to be variable or transient. However, since the Chandra and INTEGRAL bands do not overlap, we cannot rule out the possibility that Chandra does not detect the source due to a high column density.
\section{Summary and Conclusions}
The larger context for this work is the INTEGRAL Galactic plane surveys, which are providing new information about hard X-ray Galactic populations. Table~\ref{tab:summary} provides a summary of the results obtained using the 10 Chandra observations. In five cases, the Chandra localization identifies a Gaia source with a distance or high proper motion measurement, indicating that the sources are Galactic. They all have hard X-ray spectra, suggesting that they are either magnetic CVs or HMXBs. For the three sources with distance measurements (IGR~J17040--4305, IGR~J18017--3542, and IGR~J18434--0508), we argue that the magnetic CV classification is the most likely one. For the other two Galactic sources, IGR~J18112--2641 is also more likely to be a CV than an HMXB based on analysis of the near-IR magnitudes and the fact that the source shows variability by a magnitude in the $Y$-band. IGR~J20084+3221 could be a CV or an HMXB. IGR~J19504+3318 and IGR~J19577+3339 are candidate AGN. With the exception of J19577, the sources are bright enough for optical or near-IR spectroscopy, which will provide definitive classifications.

Third-year UNC medical student Lucy Irving doggedly attacks her pediatric rotation with a vengeance—always willing to go the extra mile. But when a string of young boys arrive in the pediatric ICU suffering from a strange bacterial lung infection, Lucy's curiosity and dedication backfires.
She discovers that Chapel Hill also serves as the headquarters to a swirling ring of criminals—a rogue local gang strategically linked to an international crime syndicate that spans the I-95 corridor, funneling drugs between Miami and New York. Innocently swept along, she suddenly discovers the terrible error of her ways when her inquiries strike a little too close to home, and she's marked as a target with the local gang.
Eventually the drama of pediatric patients, combined with the duties of being a dedicated daughter, as well as survival in the medical hierarchy, pushes Lucy to the limit. Clever and inquisitive, Lucy's the perfect student.
But can she outwit the criminals shadowing her every move?
Growing up with a lifelong fear of fire, she used that inspiration to weave her first book, Feel the Heat. With daily access to medical drama via her doctor-husband, she introduced her second book, Hear the Bells. A lover of travel, food and wines, Kate McGaugheys followed her career to the Far East, Middle East and Africa. Her connection to Chapel Hill dates to her work in the field of higher education and her position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she worked for six terrific years—becoming a true Tar Heel fan! Kate lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with her husband and two golden retrievers. She is working on a five-book series about a character named Lucy Irving. |
Australian Institute of Sport-based former Gold Coaster, Jackie Fairweather (nee Gallagher), will be looking to post a Melbourne Commonwealth Games selection time when she competes in the 2005 Gold Coast Airport Marathon on Sunday 3rd July.
With three marathon places available to Australian women, Fairweather is currently the fourth fastest female in the nation and needs to run a low 2:33 to force her way into the team ahead of the already-qualified trio of Benita Johnson (ACT), Anna Thompson (Vic) and Haley McGregor (Vic).
Compounding her situation is the fact that Australian Athens Olympics marathoner Kerryn McCann has not run a marathon this year and may leave her attempt at qualifying for Melbourne until later in the year.
"Strangely enough this will be my first ever marathon on Australian soil and I chose the Gold Coast because it's really my sporting home," Fairweather said. "It was the obvious choice and I'll be counting on a fair measure of hometown support to run a fast time," she said.
Fairweather took the marathon bronze medal at the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games behind McCann and silver medallist, Queenslander Krishna Stanton. She'd only shortly before taken up distance running after hugely successful duathlon and triathlon careers - holding world championships in both disciplines in 1996.
That year she was also crowned Australian Female Sports Star of the Year.
Her husband, Sydney 2000 Olympic Archery gold medallist, Simon Fairweather, will join her on the Gold Coast streets as he temporarily lays down his bow and makes his marathon debut.
He'll fly in directly from June's World Archery Titles in Madrid, Spain, and will team with four-time Gold Coast Airport Marathon winner and 2005 pacesetter, Pat Carroll, to post a sub three-hour time. And cracking three hours looks more than achievable after he ran impressive 1:20:55 at the recent Sydney Half Marathon.
Competition is also hot for places on the Australian men's team for the Commonwealth Games with Scott Westcott (NSW), Shane Nankervis (Vic) and Sisay Bezabeh (ACT) already having posted the 2:13 qualifying time.
2004 Gold Coast Airport Marathon winner Gemechu Woyecha (ACT) is tipped as the most likely runner to snare a late berth, but will need to improve almost two minutes on his personal best of 2:14:50.
A dark horse might be Brett Cartwright (SA), a sub 28 minute 10,000 metre runner who will make his marathon debut on the Gold Coast.
Some 12,000 people are expected to take part in the 42-kilometre feature event, Asics Half Marathon, Telstra Country Wide 10 Kilometre Run, Gold Coast Bulletin 7.5 Kilometre Walk and the Norco Pauls Junior Dashes.
Entry forms for the 2005 event are now available and for more information people can call Queensland Events Gold Coast on 07 5564 8733 or race to www.goldcoastmarathon.com.au.
Thousands of runners and walkers swarmed through the city yesterday for the 11th annual Age Run to the G.
Almost 7000 people braved the chill to break the event's record turnout of 6800 in 1997.
Event spokeswoman Althea Bond said: "It was a terrific day. The cool conditions were perfect. It meant participants could get out there and run their hardest."
The event had grown steadily in recent years, Ms Bond said.
"In 2003 we only had 3000 participants and this year we have nearly 7000, so people have grown to love it," she said.
Sixty-three corporate teams participated and the age of runners ranged from three (pushed in prams) to 81, the oldest participant, Ruth Warner.
Steve Moneghetti won the Victorian 10 kilometre road championship at Sandown racecourse on Saturday, 19 years after he had won his first title at the distance. He broke away from the leading pack over the last of three laps of the motor racing circuit to win in 29 minutes 38 seconds, three seconds clear of second-placed Scott Rantall with Richard Jeremiah third.
Susan Michelsson won the women's 10 kilometre title in 34:46 from Kate Seibold and Lisa-Jane Weightman.
Plans for the most dynamic field in the history of the Freihofer's Run for Women began to crumble Friday when a representative of top athletes threatened to withdraw his runners because a woman suspended for performance-enhancing drug use is among the entrants.
Pieter Langerhorst, the agent for Hilda Kibet and Olympian Lornah Kiplagat, told the Times Union on Friday that both women would withdraw if Morocco's Asmae Leghzaoui is allowed to compete. He said several other elite runners are likely to do the same.
The 3.1-mile road race is scheduled for a week from today in downtown Albany.
Leghzaoui was suspended for two years in May 2003 after testing positive for the blood-boosting drug EPO two months earlier at the World Cross Country Championships in Avenche, Switzerland. EPO, which is injected into the body, increases red blood cells, which in turn carry more oxygen to the muscles, a key part of maintaining high performance in endurance sports.
Champion cyclist Lance Armstrong was accused by his former personal assistant of using EPO, an allegation that hasn't been proved and that Armstrong vigorously denies.
Leghzaoui, 28, has won all five of her races since the ban was lifted earlier this month, and has set three course records.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency has cleared Leghzaoui to compete in the Freihofer's run, but Langerhorst isn't as forgiving. He said his runners, both native Kenyans, will not enter any race that includes Leghzaoui. (Kiplagat is a citizen of The Netherlands, the country she represented in the 2004 Olympics).
"The ban is over, but basically, she is a drug cheat," Langerhorst said. "That means she stole records and money from clean, honest athletes. If this woman is around, everything is negative. She tried to pass (the ban) off as maternity leave. I have a problem with that."
Langerhorst said agent Nic Bideau would pull Australian Olympian Benita Johnson from the race if Leghzaoui competes, and hinted that agents for others would follow. Neither Bideau nor Johnson could be reached for comment Friday.
The controversy comes at a time when Freihofer's Run for Women organizers are trying to elevate the status of the race, first run in 1979. Elite international athletes were invited for the first time since 1992, and organizers have all but guaranteed the course record of 15 minutes, 24 seconds will be shattered.
Race director George Regan said he has no plans to rescind Leghzaoui's invitation, even if other elite runners boycott the race. Kiplagat was touted as the headline athlete by Freihofer's.
"We have seven other Olympians in the field even if Kiplagat does drop out," Regan said. "Leghzaoui served her time and has been cleared by the USADA. What more is she supposed to do?"
Langerhorst is not the only agent to voice concern over Leghzaoui's invitation. Lisa Buster, who represents Kenyan runner Teresa Wanjiku, said she was upset that Freihofer's and other events were labeling Leghzaoui's ban a "lay-off." Buster initially threatened to pull Wanjiku from the field, but backed off Friday and said Wanjiku still plans to run.
Regan said Langerhorst and Buster are using Leghzaoui's suspension to diminish the fact she's the best female middle-distance runner on the planet.
"If Lornah Kiplagat is afraid to meet (Leghzaoui) in a race because she knows she's better, then she should just come out and say it," Regan said. "They know they will get beat cleanly because Leghzaoui is running better. If not, let them go head-to-head, and we'll find out the truth."
Leghzaoui, a 4-foot-9, 95-pound wisp of a runner, won San Francisco's Bay to Breakers 12-kilometer race in 38 minutes, 22 seconds on May 15, one second faster than the previous world record for that distance. Leghzaoui also owns the world record for 8 kilometers (24:27.8), set before her suspension.
She was in Canada preparing for a race on Friday and could not be reached for comment. Her agent, Hussein Makke, said Leghzaoui requested Freihofer's organizers provide drug testing to prove she is clean.
Makke, speaking on Leghzaoui's behalf, characterized her words this way: "I am there to prove to the world that I deserve a second chance and that I want to run. I have made my suffering; now I want to face everybody. I have been invited to the race, and I am coming to compete in an honest way."
Freihofer's was not selected for drug testing this year by the USADA because the race lost its status as the national championship when organizers decided to allow international competitors. But upon hearing Leghzaoui's request, Regan contacted the USADA to set up a post-race drug test for Leghzaoui, which Freihofer's will pay for. She will provide a urine sample following the race. No other athletes are expected to be tested.
This Saturday's ACT Mountain Running Championships on Mt Majura provide a preview of the Australian Championships over the same courses on Mt Majura three weeks later. Both are all important selection trials for the World Mountain Running Championships in Wellington, New Zealand on 25 September.
Race favourite for the men s 13km championship will be 2004 Australian junior champion Stephen Brown of Wollongong who excelled two weeks ago in finishing 6th in the New Zealand Mountain Running Championships, less than two minutes behind the winner. However, Brown will face strong opposition from seven time Australian representative and defending ACT title holder David Osmond and 2003 Australian representative Kevin Laws of Albury. Adrian Sheppard of Woden Harriers could cause an upset if he recovers from sore feet suffered in last weekend s Australian Rogaining Championships.
The women s 9km championship features four outstanding performers in 2004 Australian champion Marnie Ponton, Six Foot Track record holder Emma Murray, Commonwealth Games marathon medallist Jackie Fairweather, and Bogong to Hotham champion Vanessa Haverd. Murray will be representing Australia in the World Long Distance Mountain Running Championship over 42 kms in the Pyrenees in France in July.
The junior men's 9km championship should provide a comfortable victory for 2004 Australian representative Scott Tomlinson who showed he was in top form a week ago by placing a close second to orienteering senior international Eric Morris in the ABS Fun Run.
The oldest competitors will be 77 year old Rad Leovic and 70 year old Bob Chapman, both superbly fit for their age.
Athletics Australia has come out in support of the decision by organisers of the 2005 Gold Coast Airport Marathon to ban prams and running buggies from the distance events in July.

Two-time Australian Olympian Craig Mottram ran away from the field to win the Healthy Kidney 10K in 28 minutes, 28 seconds in Central Park on Sunday.
That was the second fastest 10K in Central Park, behind Paul Koech's time of 28:10 in 1997.
Mottram finished well ahead of Hendrik Ramaala of South Africa, winner of the 2004 New York City Marathon. Ramaala was clocked in 28:51, just 1 second ahead of Olympic silver medalist Meb Keflezighi, who was making his season debut.
"I came here with no intention of finishing second," said Mottram, who was eighth in the 2004 Olympic 5,000 meters. "It was my goal to win this race. I knew I was ready."
Last month, Mottram won a 10K in Dublin, Ireland, to prepare for his New York debut.
"I tried to intimidate Craig early in the race," said Ramaala, who was the early leader through two miles. "But he didn't take the trap."
Keflezighi, a native of Eritrea, became the first American to win an Olympic silver medal in the men's marathon since Frank Shorter in 1976. He had been hampered by an Achilles' tendon and hip flexor injuries this year.
"My expectations weren't so high because of the injuries," Keflezighi said. "I wanted to see what kind of condition I was in. My plan was to finish in the top six or seven."
Canberra long-distance runner Brett Cartwright has admitted to taking a caffeine tablet before going on to win the Sydney Morning Herald Half-Marathon today.
Cartwright, who also won in 2001, finished almost a minute ahead of Scott Westcott from Parkes in central western NSW and former Olympic runner Steve Moneghetti, who retired from competition five years ago.
Haley McGregor, making her half-marathon debut, won the women's event ahead of previous winner Susie Power Reeves and former Australian triathlete Jackie Fairweather.
Cartwright revealed he had taken a No-Doz tablet to help counter the early start time for the race of 7.30am.
"I don't drink coffee, I had one caffeine tablet just to liven myself up," Cartwright told the Macquarie Radio Network. "I'm not really a morning person, I think it's more a wake-up thing for me."
But his coach Peter Brett was quick to downplay the comments, saying the dosage Cartwright took was equal only to a cup of coffee.
"Purely the only reason was he does not like taking coffee. It upsets his stomach on the day of a race. I don't think that one cup of coffee is really performance-enhancing."
Melbourne is on track to host a "great, great" Commonwealth Games that won't suffer in comparison with the Sydney Olympics, according to London 2012 bid chief Sebastian Coe.
Dual Olympic gold medallist Coe, in Portugal for the Laureus world sports awards, said Melbourne's Games -- which start in 300 days -- would stand alone as a great world sporting event.
"How can anything in Melbourne be of secondary priority?" Coe said when asked to compare the Commonwealth Games to the Olympics. "Melbourne is your sporting city. Sydney's not your sporting city. Sydney is just where you had your (Olympic) Games. Melbourne is the home of sport. That's where they are going to come out in their thousands."
As the opening ceremony draws closer, Australia is focusing on its target of a record medal haul.
With less medals on offer than in Manchester, where Australia won a record 207 medals, the task won't be easy, but Australian Commonwealth Games Association boss Perry Crosswhite said it's achievable.
"It is certainly a challenge but we believe we can win 208 medals, and even beat our previous gold medal haul of 87 in Victoria, Canada in 1994," he said.
Crosswhite said our swimmers will set the platform for the record bid but concerns remain about boxing, weightlifting and, to a lesser extent, track and field. "I was seriously concerned with athletics but I know slowly but surely we are making inroads and the sport is starting to go places," he said.
Haile Gebrselassie will open a new chapter in his legendary career when bidding for the BUPA Great Manchester Run title tomorrow.
The 32-year-old Ethiopian, the world's greatest distance runner, yesterday announced his retirement from racing in major track championships to concentrate on marathons, although he may appear in the odd race.
Gebrselassie plans to kick-start his build-up for an autumn marathon by racing against strong international opponents in a 20,000 field in the 10kilometre event in Manchester.
His world-record time for the distance - 27 minutes and two seconds - achieved in December 2002, easily makes him the fastest of the elite international entry and favourite to win.
Gebrselassie, despite a lack of recent competition, believes he is in shape to break the UK All-Comers' record time of 27mins 39secs achieved by Kenya's Felix Limo in Swansea three years ago.
The race also gives Gebrselassie the opportunity to prove he has recovered from the Achilles operation he underwent last September, and that he is ready to start a serious build-up to the marathon.
The fact he was forced out of last month's Flora London Marathon when not fully racing fit is further incentive to prove his fitness credentials and challenge not only Limo's mark but Craig Mottram's 12-month old course record of 27mins 54secs.
"I'm looking forward to a very fast race and of course if I am to break records the weather and in particular no wind, is very important," said Gebrselassie.
Although organisers announced there will be no pacemakers, Gebrselassie added: "There are some very great runners in the field and if we can have a fast early pace, the record (Limo's) is possible."
Yet none are likely to be required given Gebrselassie's finishing speed, which means Olympic marathon gold medallist Stefano Baldini from Italy and Ukrainian Sergiy Lebid, the five-times European cross country champion, are likely to set a fast pace from the gun.
Sydney half-marathon winner Brett Cartwright says he has received a solid indication that he is on the right track for next year's Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
The distance runner from Canberra won Sunday morning's 21-kilometre road race ahead of Newcastle's Scott Westcott, with retired champion marathon runner in third.
Cartwright said the win had been good for his confidence.
"It shows that the training I've been doing for the last three months has been working, it shows that I'm on the right path hopefully [to] running Commonwealth Games qualifying times," he said.
Hayley McGregor from Richmond in Victoria led the women's field, followed by Susie Power-Reeves from Mornington.
Steve Moneghetti believes tomorrow's Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon is a vital race for the future of Australia's marathon stars and has called on athletes to support 21.1-kilometre events for their own benefit.
He is one man who should know what he's talking about.
A former half marathon world-record holder and three-time winner of the Herald event, the 42-year-old elder statesman of Australian distance running is better known for his achievements over 42.2 kilometres, which have included four Olympic and four Commonwealth Games marathons.
However, Moneghetti rates the half marathon as his best event and he believes the distance both identifies and improves athletes who become elite performers in world athletics' toughest event.
"I think it is a really underrated distance; it's one of the distances that came to prominence in the early 1990s and now there's a world championship for half marathon and people are running very fast [times]," Moneghetti told the Herald yesterday.
"A lot of people use that and run quick there and then step out to the marathon. It's a very good indicator for future marathon success. I hope that by being in the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon and supporting it I'm showing other athletes that it is an important distance and it is an important event to come and do."
Despite his amazing close third in last year's Sun-Herald City to Surf behind athletes less than half his age, the mostly retired father of four claims he will be "making up the numbers" in tomorrow's race.
With up-and-coming marathoners Scott Westcott and Brett Cartwright likely to be fighting it out for the winner's trophy, Moneghetti was only half joking when he said he would be looking over his shoulder to see if any women runners were about to overtake him.
"As much as we underrate the half marathon we underrate how good Australian female distance runners are going," he said.
Australia's top 3000m steeplechaser Peter Nowill has been named in the World Championships Team to compete in Helsinki August 6-14.
This addition comes after his impressive performance at the IAAF Grand Prix in Osaka (Saturday 7th May), where Nowill eclipsed the A qualifying mark by over half a second to clock 8:23.93. Nowill finished fourth place behind the Kenyan trio of Wesley Kiprotich (8:17.31), Richard Matelong (8:17.60), Julius Nyamu (8:19.83).
Athletics Australia National Performance Director Max Binnington says Nowill can now fully focus on his preparations for the meet "selectors made the decision to announce Peter�s inclusion outside the final team additions at beginning of June, so he can get on with his preparations rather than be distracted by the waiting game. Final track and field selections will be named in early June, after the qualifying periods close".
Australian distance star Craig Mottram is back in action this weekend, tackling the "Healthy Kidney 10k" race in New York on Sunday 22nd May.
TO THE surprise of nobody, the Kenyans cornered the cash from yesterday's first Great Ocean Road international marathon, and they'll be back for more next year.
And yes, there will be a next year -- runners, spectators and organises voted this spectacular new concept a big success, and former Olympian Steve Moneghetti predicted it had a long future.
Despite minimal publicity, 377 runners lined up in the main race along the iconic cliff-side drive from Lorne to Apollo Bay, a distance of 45km, which is about 3km more than the traditional marathon course.
Another 562 covered a half-marathon from Kennett River, while hundreds more entered two shorter races on Saturday. A few enthusiastic souls did three of the four.
KENYAN Elkana Machuka won the battle of the Africans in yesterday's Great Ocean Road Marathon.
The 28-year-old ran a personal best time of 2 hours 20minutes 28seconds over the official marathon distance before finishing the 45 kilometre race 42 seconds clear of fellow Kenyan runner John Kioko.
Australian-born Amerdhican Scott Nicholls finished third, followed by Kenyan James Mwangi and the race's ambassador Steve Moneghetti.
It was Machuka's first marathon win. His last international marathon was in Hong Kong last year where he placed eighth, despite suffering from a mild strain of yellow fever.
Machuka is already planning on defending his title next year and hopes to cross the Apollo Bay finish line 10 minutes faster than yesterday's winning time of 2.31.12.
``It was a very hilly course and it was very windy so I was very, very happy,'' Machuka said.
It was also the first marathon win for Clifton Hill's Rosie Doran who took the honours in the women's event.
Doran finished in 3.31.08 ahead of Kellie Epis.
The 28-year-old moved to Australia from Ireland five years ago and planned to celebrate her victory in true Irish fashion.
``I might have a pint of Guinness at the pub,''she said.
It was another one-two finish for the Africans in the men's half marathon.
South Africa's Jacob Wajuki finished ahead of Kenyan Sylvester Moleko.
Melbourne runner Nadelle Legge was the first woman to cross the line and said her training for the upcoming Gold Coast Marathon had paid off.
``I'm happy with my time, I knew I had a chance so it's just great to get a win,'' she said.
Geelong's Mark Tucker won Saturday's 6.5km run from Marriner's Lookout and back while Clint Perrett won the 14km return run to Paradise.
Elkana Machuka of Kenya fought off a late challenge from compatriot John Kioko to win Australia's inaugural Great Ocean Road International Marathon south of Melbourne.
The 27-year-old Machuka finished the 45-kilometre course run from Lorne to Apollo Bay in two hours, 31 minutes and 12 seconds, 42 seconds ahead of Kioko.
Australian-born American Scott Nicholas finished third, followed by Kenyan James Mwangi.
Machuka had previously held a personal best time of 2:21:12 hrs for the traditional marathon distance of 41.195 kilometres, a distance he covered on Sunday in 2:20.28 hrs.
Former Irish runner Rosie Doran, who now lives in Australia, won the women's race in 3:31:08 hrs, followed by Australians Kellie Epis and Louise Denley.
Six pairs of shoes, four states and 4,658km later, marathon runner Achim Heukemes' has taken the record for the fastest person to cross Australia.
The 53-year-old ultra-marathon runner from Germany ended his epic run in Sydney today, completing a record 43-day, 13-hour and eight-minute charity run across the continent from Fremantle in Western Australia.
He broke the previous 47-day record, set by Frenchman Serge Girard in 1999, running for the Oxfam tsunami appeal.
Crossing the finish line just after 10.30am on Sydney's harbour foreshore, Mr Heukemes held both the Australian and the German flags above his head.
"Wunderbar!" he exclaimed, as a small crowd of onlookers and a support crew cheered him on.
Among those at the finish was 23-year-old Donald Maclurcan, who completed the run in 67 days in 2002, raising nearly $20,000 for the Fred Hollows Foundation.
"It's just phenomenally unbelievable," Mr Maclurcan said, offering Mr Heukemes a warm handshake. "I ran 60km a day, and I can tell you this guy is incredible."
Mr Heukemes, his partner Eva and manager Franz Brandmueller set out from Fremantle on the night of April 2, covering an average 105km a day.
The seasoned ultra-marathon runner, who has previously crossed the European continent, names the Nullarbor as both highlight and low point of the six-week journey.
"The Nullarbor was the highlight, the animals the nature and because it was so tough," he said, speaking through his manager. "[But] because the sun over here has got a very strong burning effect I lost all the skin on the back of my legs...and there was a couple of days where I was very delirious because of the heat."
At one point crossing the desert one of his ankles was so affected by fluid retention that he couldn't stand on it, Mr Heukemes said.
Joseph Maina arrived in Melbourne yesterday to see the sights - and that he will certainly do tomorrow.
The Kenyan distance runner is the star turn at the inaugural Great Ocean Road marathon, a new concept in community fun running.
The iconic cliff-side drive will be closed to traffic for several hours today and tomorrow as 1275 runners of all standards and enthusiasms compete in one or more of four different races.
The main one, which starts at 8am tomorrow, is from Lorne to Apollo Bay, a total distance of 45km, slightly longer than the official marathon distance of 42.195km.
A total of $32,000 in prizemoney is available, with an extra $50,000 for anyone who can cover the orthodox marathon inside Rob de Castella's Australian international record of 2h 7min 51sec.
Or runners can earn $20,000 if they crack de Castella's national all-comers mark of 2hr 9.18min, set at the 1982 Brisbane Commonwealth Games.
The race's ambassador, four-time Olympic marathon man and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Steve Moneghetti, said the road's hilly, winding terrain makes it an impossible challenge.
For much of his athletic career Lee Troop has run with a constant companion on his shoulder . . . pain. It really is no surprise that he will be an onlooker for Sunday's inaugural Great Ocean Road Marathon because his body again has failed him.
If the body could sustain the huge desire for success and passion to do his best, then Lee Troop would be the best in the world.
He now admits he asked too much of his body and his latest injury, a stress fracture of the hip, came at a time when his acceptance of what he could physically ask of himself was complete.
The injury forced him to pull out of the recent London Marathon, plus a race in Japan.
He discovered that he had been running since the beginning of February for six weeks with a stress fracture in his right hip. He told the Advertiser the setback was enough to make him consider retirement.
Troop has been one of the driving forces behind the GOR marathon, helping race manager John Craven recruit runners and becoming an international ambassador for the race.
The Troop family, however, will be represented on the road with his wife, Freyja, competing in the half-marathon.
A bucket and a book just about sum up Benita Johnson's lifestyle at the moment.
Johnson had one of each in hand when she spoke to The Age recently. The bucket, she explained, would be handy for storing the bathroom cleaning items at the Richmond house she and husband Cam have just moved into.
The book - a biography of Australian swimming coach Don Talbot - would help wile away the hours on her next overseas flight.
It was said of Ron Clarke that lesser mortals got tired just reading his running and racing schedule. The same could be said of Johnson, one of the few Australian distance athletes to approach Clarke's level of international excellence.
Since November last year, Johnson has consecutively run in the New York marathon, criss-crossed the Australian continent as she visited family in Mackay and Perth and trained at Falls Creek, crammed six cross-country races into a five-week European racing trip, returned to Australia for the national championships, and then ran in the world cross-country championships - finishing seventh in defence of her title - and the London marathon.
Johnson and her husband have barely had time to look at, much less furnish, the home they have just bought in Richmond. The house will become Johnson's Melbourne base in the lead-up to next year's Commonwealth Games and beyond, and she has already started to garner Victorian records. Her London time of two hours 26 minutes 32 seconds broke the state record, set just a couple of weeks earlier by Anna Thompson in Rotterdam.
The London race also redressed the disappointment Johnson felt over her marathon debut in New York, when she struggled to finish. Both Johnson and her coach, Nic Bideau, now feel she has the confidence to run a much better marathon when she focuses more on the event later in her career. Something better? "I believe I can run under 2:20," Johnson said.
Before that, however, Johnson wants to achieve much more at 5000 and 10,000 metres on the track. She believes last year's world cross-country win proves she can succeed in international distance running. "I did it once. I can do it again," she says.
Lachlan Chisholm and Youcef Abdi broke the traditional 4 minute mile barrier and set a new track record at the 2nd annual Milers Meet at the University of Queensland on Friday 6 May 2005.
A cool clear night in Brisbane with the wind dropping off just before the race started ensured that conditions were ideal for threatening Alistair Stevenson�s time last year of 3min58sec.
Chisholm, the current 1500m champion, held off the Abdi, the 2004 1500m champion in a brilliant finish to win in 3.56.27, one of the best mile times recorded in Australia in recent years.
Head UQ Athletics coach said that a tradition had now been established with both first and second places clocking sub 4 minute mile times in the last two years.
"We are attracting good runners to this event and with good prize money being offered � this is set to become a major event on middle distance runners� calendars," said Mr Clohessy.
UQ�s up and coming 1500m star Mitchell Keally in his first race over the mile placed third in a time of 4.02.75.
Australian marathon legend Robert de Castella has expanded his support of the 2005 Gold Coast Airport Marathon.
'Deek', who was on the Gold Coast in March for the launch of the 2005 event, said he was so impressed with where the marathon is positioned that he's decided to come back for the Sunday 3rd July event, both as an event ambassador and sponsor.
de Castella won the Australian Marathon Championship in 1979 on his way to unforgettable victories in the 1982 Commonwealth Games and the 1983 World Championship in Helsinki, Finland.
His SmartStart company will sponsor the athlete's recovery area at the Broadwater Parklands race precinct.
SmartStart for Kids targets children at risk of developing lifestyle related health problems whilst a new initiative SmartStart for Life is a program designed to assist companies and adults improve their health, fitness and wellbeing.
"The Gold Coast Airport Marathon and SmartStart have some very definite synergies with a shared mission to improve the health and wellbeing of all Australians from children right through to adults. The fact that it incorporates an event for all ages and fitness levels collectively supports my own and SmartStarts passion - to encourage activity across all demographics. This event is the premier marathon in the country - its location, size and festival atmosphere are simply unbeatable. It's also fantastic that the Gold Coast Airport Marathon will incorporate the Australian Marathon Championship this year. That will ensure this country's most outstanding runners make the trip in the hope of making an impression ahead of next year's Melbourne Commonwealth Games," he said.
Queensland Events Gold Coast General Manager, Cameron Hart, said the synergies between de Castella, SmartStart and the Gold Coast Airport Marathon are 'very strong'.
"We're hoping this is the start of a long and mutually beneficial relationship," Mr Hart said. "Deek is an absolute legend and if his profile can encourage people to get off the couch for a walk or a run and get active and healthy, that would be a great result for the event and the nation," he said.
Some 12,000 people are expected to take part in the 42-kilometre Gold Coast Airport Marathon, Asics Half Marathon, Telstra Country Wide 10 Kilometre Run, Gold Coast Bulletin 7.5 Kilometre Walk or the Norco Pauls Junior Dashes.
That number would eclipse last year's record of 11,804.
Entries have already been received from every State of Australia and 20 countries.
Entry forms for the 2005 Gold Coast Airport Marathon are now available and people wishing further details can call 07 5564 8733 or visit www.goldcoastmarathon.com.au.
Wealthy people and company bosses will be given the chance to bypass the public ballot and buy their way into "sold-out" finals at the Commonwealth Games.
Games organisers yesterday confirmed they were preparing a special release of high-priced tickets. The previously unpublicised deals would include swimming, cycling, netball, basketball and other finals that were swamped by mums and dads in the ticket ballot.
Fifty-one of 241 Games sessions were oversubscribed in the ballot, which will be drawn next week or soon after.
Australia�s Craig Mottram led the Aussie charge at the Cardinal Invitation meet in Stanford, San Francisco, overnight (Sunday 1st May).
Australia's No1 ranked men's 400m hurdler Tobby Sutherland has turned his back on cash-strapped athletics just 11 months out from the 2006 Commonwealth Games to reignite a lucrative AFL career in Melbourne.
And the frustrated former Canberra-based AIS scholarship holder has fired a parting broadside at the sport he dedicated the past three years of his life to, saying self- interested administrators failed to care for their athletes.
Sutherland said there was too little money and too few rewards for elite athletes, and there was "no future in athletics" for young stars aspiring to represent their countries.
"It's not really a sport that looks after the athletes, it's a sport that looks after the people in the office and it makes it difficult for an athlete to live," Sutherland said. "You can't be a full-time athlete in athletics and live as well, it's too difficult. When you try and do both you end up wearing yourself out. It's a sport where you put in 120 per cent and you only get 20 per cent back."
Jeremy Horne recorded a personal best time on the way to claiming his fourth Nail Can Hill Run victory at Noreuil Park yesterday.
Horne rose to the occasion as a record field of 1200 competitors took part in the run to finish in 37 minutes and 58 seconds as he continues to close in on former Olympian Pat Scammells record of six victories in the male section of the event.
The Sydney-based runner came home below 38 minutes for the first time ahead of Albury physiotherapist Kevin Laws (39.54), John Kent (40.10) and Richard Welsh (40.16) to secure his fourth win from as many starts in the Nail Can Hill Run.
Horne, 30, is only the second runner to achieve four wins in the event, moving past Jeff Chambers who won in 1981, 1982 and 1984.
He timed his run superbly yesterday, shooting to an early lead and was never headed in claiming the win.
"It was a bit windy at the start, running into a headwind but once I got on to the hills it was all right," he said. "I wanted to run by myself as much as possible. I'd prefer to do that instead of chasing".
The 24th Annual Great Train Race was conducted in fine cool weather on 1st May 2005. |

A Call to Release Detainees of the Peaceful Protest Movement in Iraq
At dawn on 27 October 2019, in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah, unidentified persons raided the homes of a number of activists and journalists and took them to an unknown destination. This is a shocking violation of freedom of expression and we, members of the Iraqi Social Forum's freedom of expression masar, are now making an urgent appeal to all concerned organizations and actors to join us in calling for the release of these activists of the peaceful protest movement (some of whom are named below).
Those activists currently being detained are individuals who have supported the protest movement; they are people are asking for no more — and no less — than a decent and free life, where they have work and a reformed political system, free of corruption and quotas. Most of those who are now detained have been demonstrating since the early days of the protest movement, which began in 2011. These are men and women who are committed to change, and they want to find justice by peaceful means.
Thus we, members of the ISF's freedom of expression masar, call on the Iraqi government to disclose the fate of all detainees and more, we call for their release. We call for those who have taken part in arrests, abductions and intimidation against peaceful demonstrators to be held accountable. Demonstrating is a constitutionally guaranteed right that must never be compromised.
At the same time we ask the United Nations and its relevant bodies, along with all other international organizations interested in Iraqi affairs, to join in a show of public solidarity with the Iraqis as they move forward in their peaceful uprising, and to pressure the Iraqi government to ensure the safety of demonstrators so that they receive no harm from any party that may disagree with their aims.
The following is a list of names of detainees:
Hussain Kareem Khashef Alamel – Journalist from Dhi Qar province
Ali Hussain Kareem Khashef Alamel – Activist from Dhi Qar province
Ali Minjal – University professor in Dhi Qar province
Sajad Sami Judeh (Sajad Alghareeb) – a popular poet in Dhi Qar province
Ammar Al-Hammadi – Chairman of the Cinema Club in the Union of Dhi Qar Writers
Karar al-Sarifi – from Dhi Qar governorate (detained since 25 October)
Hisham Alsumari – from Dhi Qar province
Uday al-Jabri – from Dhi Qar province
Wisam Aldahaby – from Dhi Qar province
Wasfi Taher – a teacher in Dhi Qar province
Ali Mahdi – from Dhi Qar province
Samet Alfaraj – activist from AlAnbbar province (arrested because of a post on Facebook)

Enslaved Peoples as Prisoners of War
The struggle to abolish the slave trade and protect labor rights has been a catastrophic infringement of humanitarian rights upon people worldwide. The slave trade was first condemned by treaty in the Additional Articles to the Paris Peace Treaty of 1814 between France and Britain (Vega & Weisbrodt 2007). In 1885, the General Act of the Berlin Conference on Central Africa declared that "trading in slaves is forbidden in conformity with the principles of international law" (Vega & Weisbrodt 2007). In spite of the fact of slavery being forbidden, it would be strategically replaced with racial capitalism or economic slavery that would produce the largest atrocity of genocide known to mankind. However, the enslavement of beings from the Atlantic and Indian slave trade is rarely identified as a genocide nor is the residual effect of the war on civilians.
The Atlantic and Indian slave trade was an egregious war between the sovereignty of peoples and governments, companies, and international systems that supported institutionalized global exploitation. Although, the international legal documents have ideal principles, standards, and treaties they have wholeheartedly been breached by its creators, thus, it has not been applied to all states and its people. It is evident of the hypocrisy and contradictions that exists in international law which deliberately ostracizes groups of people to ensure justice is not obtainable. Article 1 of the 1907 Hague III Convention of the Opening of Hostilities asserts that:
"Hostilities between [contracting parties] must not commence without previous and explicit warning, in the form either of a declaration of war, giving reasons, or of an ultimatum with conditional declaration of war" (Orackhelashvili, 2019).
However, it is crucial to take notice of their being an absence of an explicit warning when it came to the deliberate genocide of people that became casualties (prisoners of war) of the Atlantic and Indian slave trade. This genocide would dismantle the infrastructures of various nation-states across continents for generations causing an ongoing mass confusion of the current state of war against citizens worldwide. Enslaved peoples and the generations that followed after, are prisoners of war from a system that is insidious in regard to their efforts to rewrite history, construct deceptive laws, and continuously breach of the inherent rights of mankind.
Paragraph 10 of General Assembly Resolution 2105, passed on December 1965 by seventy-four to six with twenty-seven abstentions:
"Recognizes the legitimacy of the struggle by people under colonial rule to exercise their right to self-determination and independence and invites all States to provide material and moral assistance to the national liberation movements in colonial territories" (Orackhelashvili 2019).
Yet, it fails to mention the pseudo-scientific belief of the superiority of 'whites' over 'non-whites'. Orackhelashvili conceptions of war in international law excludes the prevalence of cultural, economic, spiritual, psychological, and biological chemical warfare which are all forms of intense violence that exists against non-whites from the conception of the slave trade to contemporary times. In the 1970 Friendly Relations Declaration asserts that the transgression of the right to self-determination is forbidden in international law:
"Every State has the duty to refrain from any forcible action which deprives peoples referred to above in the elaboration of the present principle of their right to self-determination and freedom and independence. In their actions against, and resistance to, such forcible action in pursuit of the exercise of their right to self-determination, such peoples are entitled to seek and to receive support in accordance with the purposes and principles of the Charter" (Orackhelashvili 2019).
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is meant to "settle legal disputes submitted to it by states (contentious jurisdiction) and give advisory opinion on legal questions referred to it by international organs and agencies duly authorized under advisory jurisdiction" (Orackhelashvili). Nonetheless, the deception lies in the ICJ condemning leaders of 'African' states and being deficient in condemning the parties that are involved in the economic and social disorder of these states. For instance, the British had a clear involvement in instigating the Rwandan genocide between the Tutsis and Hutus by way of misidentifying groups of people with arbitrary titles to promote the agenda of divide and conquer for their own political interests.
The issue of the matter is that there has been genocide coupled with the enslavement of war captives that have forgotten their cultures. Chattel slavery prospered through the attainment of war captives which calls attention to the process of enslavement through war, thus, it is imperative to reinterpret the concept of prisoners of war as those that were enslaved. In other words, war and violence have become an inescapable part of modern life. There is sociological, psychological, or political violence that has been constructed from the states of war that involves ethnic cleansing and systemic murders, which go unrecognized in the international legal systems comprehension of war, sovereignty, self-determination, and peace. Economic-socio-political states permits those in power to use charity as a façade of economic exploitation permitting civilized prisoners of war within a system of oppression. Structural violence is the foundation of global capitalism which is a system of oppression that maintains racism and racial violence within multicultural societies.

In a notary's dream there are lenders instead of sheep, papers instead of monsters and pens instead of spoons. When the sun is up a notary's life is far simpler to you and me, but for them it is still somewhat related to their dreams in how they help people. Once their feet hit the floor they are ready to go, cunning and eager to sign and sing.
It may be hours before a notary is called for a signing, but they know that that comes with the job and patience is a virtue. Some mobile notaries take up jobs like superman, in order to hide their identity as notary extraordinaire. But it is not lost on most people as mobile notaries have a demeanor unlike ordinary people and their sudden disappearance to sign docs is all too real. Will they return? Will they get paid? These are all questions that go unanswered as the notary faces his task at hand.
Once in the car the notary is ready to print the docs on the printer in his car. On the road contemplation is a normal condition that sits in for many notaries. But they do not let them get distracted from their ultimate goal of signature and closing.
Sometimes the lenders are the villains in this story in that it is there responsibility to pay our hero. That is not always the case and they decide the hero should do it for free. Other lenders are valiant and courageous and pay in 2 weeks. These are the lenders notaries like to work with, but beggars can't be choosers and the notary goes back to his normal life and dreams where one day he is in a world where he will get paid on time and that his life as notary hero would never end. Thanks Notary Hero.. |

Install new bulb assembly C into housing socket and rotate clockwise into a locked position. In todays new era, all information about the development of technologies is extremely easy to receive.
Then I found another schematic that shows a white and black wire to and from the thermistor. I needed to replace the thermistor on my 4500 the tractor was having fuel shutoff solenoid problems. Connect negative - booster cable to booster battery negative - post E. You are able to give your comment as evaluations to our website quality. The reason I ask is because it doesn't blow the fuse until the instant I turn the key to the start position. If no voltage at glow plugs there maybe a bad fuse,relay or wire connection in the glow plug circuit. You could find a variety of news, suggestions, content, all over the world in only a few moments.
Wash battery with solution of four tablespoons of baking soda to one gallon of water.

Can not hurt to try. All of the following tractors are built for foreign sale and we will probably never see one of them here. The fuse that kept blowing was the top one in the middle. Glen, Unless you just want to know where the old thermistor is located you can abandon it in place. · If electrolyte is splashed onto skin, flush immediately with water and get medical attention if necessary.
If you think about its not really that complex. Lawn mower tractors are built in Horicon, Wisconsin. Let me know,i can help. The battery may explode: · Do not smoke near battery. What model is your tractor and what do you need to fix? Pull defective fuse from socket. |
The performance of a team with the right characteristics can exceed the mere sum of the constituent members' individual efforts. However, a team having the wrong characteristics may perform more poorly than the sum of its individuals. Therefore, it is vital that teams are assembled and managed properly in order to maximize performance. This work examines how the properties of configuration design problems can be leveraged to select the best values for team characteristics (specifically team size and interaction frequency). A computational model of design teams which has been shown to effectively emulate human team behavior is employed to pinpoint optimized team characteristics for solving a variety of configuration design problems. These configuration design problems are characterized with respect to the local and global structure of the design space, the alignment between objectives, and the resources allotted for solving the problem. Regression analysis is then used to create equations for predicting optimized values for team characteristics based on problem properties. These equations achieve moderate to high accuracy, making it possible to design teams based on those problem properties. Further analysis reveals hypotheses about how the problem properties can influence a team's search for solutions. This work also conducts a cognitive study on a different problem to test the predictive equations. For a configuration problem of moderate size, the model predicts that zero interaction between team members should lead to the best outcome. A cognitive study of human teams verifies this surprising prediction, offering partial validation of the predictive theory. |

Awesome news out of Tokyo today. Nightmare of Battle is reporting that the rumored Japan Cup that was scheduled for late April now has the Dream name attached to it, a bigger venue, and some really good fights. A press conference officially unveiled that "DREAM Japan GP ~2011 Bantamweight Japan Tournament" will be the official title, and it will be going down May 29th in the Hall of the Saitama Super Arena.
For now, Melendez vs. Kawajiri title fight a go for "Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Daley"
Although the past week's earthquake in Japan initially cast doubt on the fight, a championship bout between lightweight titleholder Gilbert Melendez (18-2 MMA, 8-1 SF) and Tatsuya Kawajiri (27-6-2 MMA, 0-0 SF) is a go. On Saturday MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported that fellow lightweights K.J. Noons and Jorge Masvidal were told to remain on standby in case their Japanese counterparts were unable to make it to the U.S. However, sources close to the organization told MMAjunkie.com the past 24 hours have brought word that Melendez vs. Kawajiri should remain part of the April 9 card.
Once thought to be a non-title affair, the late-notice scrap between Todd Duffee and Alistair Overeem (Pictured) at "Dynamite: The Power of Courage 2010" will be for the Dream interim heavyweight crown.
A previously reported heavyweight bout between Alistair Overeem and recent UFC castoff Todd Duffee now is set for Friday's DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010" event. Before the recent booking of Duffee, DREAM officials talked about Overeem possibly fighting for the organization's first-ever heavyweight title. However, officials said it's currently slated as a regular fight with three five-minute rounds.
For a certain kind of MMA fighter, New Year's Eve in Japan represents a simple math problem. It's about risk versus reward, money versus pain and embarrassment, and, more often than not, overflowing optimism versus some very long odds. Mostly though, it's about money. That might not be the only reason Todd Duffee reportedly agreed to end a tumultuous 2010 with a fight against Alistair Overeem on this year's Dynamite!! New Year's Eve show, but it's definitely one of the reasons. An interesting piece on one of the more hyped fights in this week's trio of events.
DREAM's year-end show, "Dynamite!! 2010," airs live in the U.S. on HDNet. HDNet Fights brass officially announced the blockbuster event premieres Friday, Dec. 31, at 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT. "Dynamite!! 2010" takes place Dec. 31 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010" features a massive 15-bout card loaded with notables. The promotion's featherweight and welterweight titles will both be on the line, as champ Bibiano Fernandes faces Hiroyuki Takaya, while title holder Marius Zaromskis puts his belt on the line against MMA legend Kazushi Sakuraba.
According to MMA Fighting.com, the on-again-off-again fight between Alistair Overeem and Todd Duffee is on again!
Have no plans on NYE?! Dream Dynamite 2010 : Duffee VS Overeem on HDnet!!!
Andy Ologun vs. Katsuaki Furuki added to DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010"
Former K-1 kickboxer and recent MMA fighter Andy Ologun (2-1 MMA, 1-1 DREAM) returns to the cage to fight former pro Japanese baseball player Katsuaki Furuki (0-0 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) at the year-end DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010" event. Officials today announced the fight, which takes place at welterweight. DREAM "Dynamite!! 2010" takes place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, and airs on HDNet in the U.S.
Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) today added another round of match-ups to its annual New Year's Eve show as FieLDS Dynamite!! returns to the Saitama Super Arena on Dec. 31 in Saitama, Japan. Former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Gegard Mousasi will make his return to the K-1 circuit to compete against Kyotaro in a kickboxing bout that marks "The Dreamcatcher's" first K-1 rules bout since a TKO win over Musashi at Dynamite!! 2008. Joining them will be Super Hulk Champion Ikuhisa Minowa taking on judo silver medalist Hiroshi Izumi while Japanese mainstay Hayato Sakurai answers the call of "The Kansas City Bandit" Jason High.
The first fight was officially announced for DREAM Dynamite!! 2010 on December 31 today, and apparently DREAM Featherweight Champion Bibiano Fernandes got paid because he's set to defend the title against Hiroyuki Takaya. Earlier this year at DREAM.13, he made his first successful title defense and narrowly edged former champ Joachim Hansen. However, he's been on the sidelines since then due to alleged issues with DREAM officials paying him. Takaya gets a second shot at Fernandes and the title here, after losing to Fernandes he then was TKO'd by Michihiro Omigawa but then TKO'd Joachim Hansen & Chase Beebe, both in the first round.
The story of fighters not being paid in mixed martial arts is a much too frequent storyline. As popular as the sport has become, major organizations across the globe are facing financial troubles. Latest case in point: Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante says he has not been paid for his DREAM 15 fight against Katsunori Kikuno and won't fight for them again until he is. "I'm not saying I'm done with them, but I'm not going to fight until they pay me and try to come out with something and try to explain because they don't even answer my manager. My manager called them and they don't even answer," added Cavalcante. "They did not come out with an explanation. I feel disrespected from them. I'm not looking to fight for them for a while." The Brazilian enjoyed competing in Japan and describes the situation as "sad." "It's sad because Dream is a nice event. The event in Japan, it's cool. It's an honor with the history, the samurai spirit and everything. It's a good show also. I would like to fight for both especially because I have my crowd over there," stated Cavalcante. "I would like to keep fighting back and forth, but unfortunately it's not going good." Cavalcanted explained the difference in timely pay of fighting in Japan compared to competing for U.S. based promotions. "In Japan, they usually pay within one month. After the show they have one month to pay. That's in the contract," explained the two-time K-1 Grand Prix titleholder. In Strikeforce, they pay you right after the event because the boxing commissions, they ask you for the checks and everything to be paid to the commission that they pass to the fighters right after the fight. So I already have my check from the fight (with Josh Thomson last week), which is really good. You fought, you want to have your money," said Cavalcante.
You can add Ralek Gracie's name to the growing list of fighters who are upset with Japan's Dream organization, and his complaint against his former employers is all too familiar. Gracie (3-0) told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani on Monday afternoon's edition of "The MMA Hour" that the FEG-backed promotion has not paid him a single penny of what he's owed for his win over Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba at Dream.14 on May 29. And after waiting patiently for more than four months for the check to arrive, Gracie is through keeping quiet about it.
FEG was able to come to terms with WVR and acquire Satoshi Ishii for a fight at DREAM.16. The problem? The fight was announced within days of the event, allowing FEG and TBS to do minimal promotion for the event. This all led to what turned out to be less-than-stellar ratings for DREAM 16, withIkuhisa Minowa vs. Satoshi Ishii as a strong draw in the press, but only Ishii's second bout on Japanese soil and Ishii doing very little press since the loss in December. The final ratings for the event were 11.9%, almost a full point decline from their last primetime event, DREAM.11. With FEG in dire straights, one has to wonder how this looks to investment bank PUJI as well as what this means for the TBS/FEG relationship.
Jason "Mayhem" Miller lived up to his vow, as he became the first man in more than 14 years to submit Japanese icon Kazushi Sakuraba at Dream 16 on Saturday at Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Sakuraba -- who had not asked out of a fight since a July 1996 encounter with Kimo Leopoldo -- met his demise inside an arm-triangle choke 2:09 into round one, the crowd looking on in stunned silence.
James Thompson's trip to Japan turned out not to be pointless. Less than 24 hours from fight time Japan's premier super-heavyweight, DEEP Megaton Champion Yusuke Kawaguchi has stepped up to face the former debt collector.
DREAM.16 takes place Sept. 25 at Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya, Japan. The event airs on HDNet in North America early Saturday morning (2 a.m. ET). The booking comes after reports of a Minowa vs. James Thompson fight that never materialized.
A matchup between heavyweight slayer Ikuhisa Minowa and British brawler James Thompson is in the works as a late addition to next week's Dream.16. |
Q: JavaScript - declaring get property in object literal I came across the following JS object declaration:
var myObj = {
calc: function calc() {
return 'calc method';
},
get name() {
return 'test name property';
}
};
myObj.name// -> 'test name property'
I understand what 'calc: ..' is but what is 'get name'? Is this some new syntax for declaring 'get' property? Cannot find it in documentation.

Earlier this week, rumors surfaced of a Martin Garrix and Drake collaboration on Reddit. The source was from Murdabeatz' photographer. It was a leaked DM, stating that Martin Garrix was in the studio working on the Drake collaboration. This wasn't unlikely since Martin has worked with some of the biggest names in pop music in the past. These include the likes of Bebe Rexha, Troye Sivan, Usher, & Khalid. This left many fans extremely hyped, as this would be Martin's biggest collaboration yet.
However, Martin took to Twitter recently to address these rumors. Dancing Astronaut tweeted about the Martin Garrix and Drake collaboration. In response, Martin said, "nope it's not with Drake." Following up, Dancing Astronaut asked if it was going to be with Ed Sheeran. Again, Martin responded and denied the collaboration.
In conclusion, Martin will not be working with either Drake or Ed Sheeran. This is a bit of a bummer, as many fans were excited. However, Martin did at least give a confirmation instead of leaving fans hanging. Check out the Twitter thread where Martin Garrix responds down below. Who do you think the "biggest" collaboration is with? Let us know.
nope it's not with Drake

The article aims to investigate Aristotle's view on the types of errors occurring in practical reasoning or 'deliberation'. The Author's survey clarifies the difference between error in deliberation and moral error, considers to what extent deliberation corresponds to the so-called 'practical syllogism', and lastly recognizes three types of errors related to either perception or opinion. In the second case, the error in deliberation may correspond to a wrong opinion in general (without implying a nefarious intent) or to an incorrect assessment of the circumstances.

The appearance of SanFoot Real Wood Veneer Wallcovering is largely determined by how the veneer is sliced and then matched to form a full sheet.
Illustrated below are some of the standard matching styles used with SanFoot products.
Consecutive leafs of a veneer flitch have similar grain and figure. In book-matching alternative leafs are turned like the pages of a book.
The vertical edges are then glued to make a "face". This duplication of pattern permits a variety of visual styles. Book-Matched Faces can be made from flat, quarter and rift-cut veneers.
Other matching styles and face types are available as options including Slip-Matched, Swing-Matched and Plank-Matched.
These are sets of sheets manufactured from the same veneer flitch & sequentially numbered.
Installations requiring lengths longer than standard sizes will require end matching of sequence sets.
This offers the greatest possibilities to achieve continuity of colour and figure. Sheets are installed sequentially with the first number in the lower left quadrant. The second is rotated 180 degrees and joined at the top of the first sheet.
For best appearance when end matching sequenced sheets, mate numbered edge to numbered edge, or nonnumbered edge to non-numbered edge, based on the desired result.
End Matching must be specified when ordering. |

POSNA Level of Evidence Summaries
The POSNA Evidence Based Practice Committee (EBP) Levels of Evidence Summaries (LOEs) are succinct evaluations of randomized controlled trials in pediatric orthopaedic surgery. Published studies since 2005 have been selected and reviewed by members of the Evidence Practice Committee and summarized in standard fashion. The aim is to serve as an evidence-based repository for quick reference to available high level evidence as well as resource to identify gaps in the current research and identify opportunities for future investigation.
NOTE: You must be a POSNA member to access the LOE Database.
Over 40 published randomized controlled trials were initially identified by Dodwell et. al. (PubMed). These studies and others were selected and reviewed by members of the POSNA EBP Committee in standardized format that includes the purpose and design of the study, intervention, measurements, outcomes, results, clinical significance and reviewer comments with clinical significance.
Submission Process:
Level of evidence summaries are voluntarily submitted by members of the POSNA Evidence Based Practice Committee using a standardized summary format.

What are Appropriate Use Criteria?
Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) specify when it is appropriate to use a procedure. An "appropriate" procedure is one for which the expected health benefits exceed the expected health risks by a wide margin. Often, sound data is not available or does not provide evidence that is detailed enough to apply to the full range of patients seen in everyday clinical practice. Nevertheless, physicians must make daily decisions about when to use or not use a particular procedure. AUCs facilitate these decisions by combining the best available scientific evidence with the collective judgment of physicians in order to determine the appropriateness of performing a procedure.
What procedures are addressed by Appropriate Use Criteria?
AUC topics focus on widely and frequently used procedures whose effectiveness is supported by evidence-based information. Additionally, AUC topics could be procedures that consume significant resources, have wide variations in their use (e.g. geographic), or are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. AUC topics are derived from AAOS Clinical Practice Guidelines that establish the effectiveness of various procedures for a given disease, disorder, or condition. AUCs then address the patients in which these procedures are appropriate given the nuances of everyday clinical practice.
Why develop Appropriate Use Criteria?
AUCs are developed to ensure the highest QUALITY of care for patients undergoing musculoskeletal procedures
How are Appropriate Use Criteria developed?
The AAOS uses the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method to develop AUCs. AAOS AUCs are developed using evidence-based information in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians from multiple medical specialties in order to improve patient care and obtain the best outcomes while considering the subtleties and distinctions necessary in making clinical decisions.
Who develops Appropriate Use Criteria?
"Panels" of AAOS & Specialty Society volunteer physicians that operate independently of each other develop AAOS Appropriate Use Criteria.
You can learn more about Appropriate Use Criteria at the AAOS Website or at OrthoGuidelines.org.
Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines are based on a systematic review of published studies. Multidisciplinary guideline development groups construct Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines to serve as an educational tool based on an assessment of the current published scientific and clinical information and accepted approaches to treatment.

The name "Tholsel" is derived from two old English words: "toll", meaning tax; and "sael", or hall, the place where tolls were paid. In the middle ages it served as court house, custom-house, guildhall and a meeting place for merchants.
The Tholsel building in Dublin was a late medieval building, rebuilt in 1682, erected as a merchants' hall at the corner of Nicholas St. and Christ Church place, next to the Church of St. Nicholas Within. Known as Skinner's Row, it was later widened to become Christchurch Place. The building was demolished in 1820, having largely being superseded by the Cooley's City Hall. The two statues on the facade of Kings Charles II and James II have been in the crypt of Christ Church Cathedral since the building's demolition. |
Microbunodon was a genus of extinct artiodactyl mammals in the family Anthracotheriidae. It lived between the upper Eocene and the lower Pliocene (about 35–5 million years ago). Its fossil remains have been found in Europe and Asia.
Description
Microbunodon, unlike most of its close relatives, was small in size and with a slight build. Its weight did not exceed 20–25 kilograms and the skull was about 20–30 centimeters long. Microbunodon was slim with long legs and a short snout with long prominent canine teeth in males, similar to a saber-toothed cat. It was characterized by a fused mandibular symphysis, with a ventral ridge-like prominence.
Classification
The genus Microbunodon was established by Deperet in 1908 to accommodate a species previously described by Georges Cuvier in 1822 and attributed to the genus Anthracotherium, as A. minimum, from the Oligocene superior of France. The type species, Microbunodon minimum, lived in the Oligocene in Europe and is known in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Turkey. Other species attributed to this genus are M. silistrensis (early and middle Miocene, Indian subcontinent and Indochina) and M. milaensis (late Miocene and early Pliocene, Indian subcontinent and Indochina). Other fossils attributed to this genus come from the upper Eocene of China and testify to an exceptional longevity of this evolutionary line (Tsubamoto, 2010).
Microbunodon is an anthracothere, a group of artiodactyls usually considered similar to hippopotami. Microbunodon represents an aberrant morphology for this family, whose members usually have large, heavy shapes. Microbunodon and Anthracokeryx have been placed in a separate subfamily, Microbunodontinae.
Paleobiology
Analysis of dental wear of Microbunodon reveals that it probably had a diet based on leaves and fruit (Lihoreau, 2003). It likely lived in forest environments and had a lifestyle quite similar to that of musk deer and mouse deer.
It is likely that it originated in Asia in the Eocene. At the end of the Oligocene, Microbunodon migrated to Europe and spread rapidly, along with other Artiodactyls. This event is known as the Microbunodon event, due to the significant impact that the invasion of these animals had on European fauna of the period (Scherler et al., 2013; Mennecart, 2015).

Pope Shenouda III's funeral will be held tomorrow starting at 11 AM Cairo Local time at the Saint Marks Cathedral in Cairo.
The Pope has been already taken from the Papal Seat and was put in his coffin which arrived from Rome as a gift from the Vatican if I was not mistaken.
According to the Holy Synod the funeral of the Pope will be by invitations only , of course many Christians are angry for that decision yet others understand it. The angry Christians are sad that only prominent figures , foreign and Egyptian officials will let in while they are left outside.
Of course God knows how the streets surrounding the Cathedral will be packed with sad mourners tomorrow.
Here is a map with the directions for the area , to be honest I did not understand much from it !!
Officially tomorrow according to SCAF's decree issued today will be a general mourning through out the country. The armed forces has assigned a military plane to transfer the coffin to its final burial place at St.Pishoy monastery per the late pope's will. The old monastery built in the 4th century AD played an important role in the life of Shenouda III , he was staying there in 1971 when he was informed that he was elected as the 118th Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
After 10 years he was exiled there by the orders of President Sadat because of their famous fight and he had to stay there for another 3 years till he restored his papal position. It was among his favorite spots where he used to go and stay there for praying. The last time he went there was after the two saints Church bombing in a move interrupted as anger from Mubarak's regime.
Today the Egyptian parliament stood a moment of silence dedicated to the late Pope Shenouda III it was a good a respectable gesture but unfortunately most of the Salafist members of Parliaments had either left the session or did not stand because according to Al Nour Party a moment of silence is not part of Islam and this is just a moment that will pass. Of course it is worth to mention that Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" stood in front of his house when he saw the funeral of his Jewish neighbor passing by.
I think that Egyptian Muslim lady who gave water from her balcony to the Christian mourners standing in long queue for hours follow Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" for real unlike those Salafist MPs.
The Church has already requested thousands of mourners outside the Cathedral to leave in order to prepare for the funeral but I think it is hard considering the thousands waiting for hours on foot in order to have one last glimpse of the body of late Pope on his papal chairs.Thousands of Egyptian Orthodox Christians came not only from all over Egypt but from outside as well.
In the past 48 hours 3 Egyptian Christians died from suffocation and tens were injured because of the stampede outside the Cathedral , the big irony that the military police is securing the church as well it had secured the body of the late Pope on the Papal chair.
Securing the dead Pope "Mohamed Mohsen"
Downtown Cairo traffic as well the desert and agricultural highways are crowded with buses. Already from what I understand bishoprics through over the country are preparing for delegations to attend the huge event after couple of hours. I have not seen a single Orthodox Christian lady or girl today that was not wearing black.
Standing a queue in the long street "Getty"
Pope Shenouda III was the first Pope to be enthroned at the Saint Marks Cathedral in Cairo and he is the second Pope to have a funeral in the same cathedral inaugurated in 1971.
It is expected that the funeral will be a big one , the biggest so far for a religious icon in the 21st century.
Wait for more coverage tomorrow ISA. |
Abi Morgan's The Hour took us deep into the drama of 1950s London where the shadowy streets are steadily darkening with the blood and politics of a new age. Saturated with film noire violence and Dick Tracy style whodunnit at every corner, it deserved so much more airtime than its two short seasons.
The main focus is on the hard grind involved with changing the face of television broadcasting, while thickening plots power through the lens' peripheral. It's the hunt for truth that matters and to do that, you either have to get down and dirty or play the game of network politics. The quest for justice in this rendition maintains authenticity with ample servings of alcohol, dutifully served with thick tornado swirls of smoke in nearly every scene.
Morgan's six episode show first aired in 2011 with an-oh-so beautiful cast of news broadcasters and reporters. It's a struggle disliking the arrogant, brattish Freddie Lyon (masterfully handled by Ben Whishaw, geeky Q from Skyfall). Tired of the trite stories he's been forced to spoon-feed the British public, he's only too ready to take on the meaty matter of cloak and daggered politics. Motivated by an admirable sense of duty, honour and integrity his trespasses are easily forgiven.
The series opens with Freddie realising he's no longer top dog in the newsroom, and that life as he and 1950s Britain know it, is about to drastically change. How it burnt him to watch the women get promoted ahead of him. He'd always considered them to be his Moneypennys, of course he was Bond and now they were leaving him behind. Palming clues from corpses and digging deeper than ever, you have to doff your hat to his tenacity. The brilliantly played Bel Rowley (Romola Garai, Jane Austen's Emma), is named as the producer of the channel's latest current affairs programme, and we're invited along to watch the headstrong, workaholic carve out her spot in the previously male dominated industry. Despite the patronising and emotional complications, she rises to each challenge with as much class as her perfectly tailored outfits. Morgan pretty much lifted her persona from the hugely influential Grace Wyndham Goldie, who penned the formats for shows like Panorama, That Was The Week That Was and Tonight. After glossing Bel up, throwing in a smidge of the 1987 hit show Broadcast News, and a spoonful of the Network, she sat back to admire her creation. A nostalgic, savvy rendition of what a TV newsroom would've looked like in 1956 if the likes of L'Oreal were permanently on hand. The exciting and thrilling backdrop of the Suez Canal Crisis, added to the plots that twist around nuclear threats from the Russians, making for a captivating show.
The chapters that move us throughout the story do so by offering more than a prettified history lesson. The performances draw out the timeless challenges faced by a nation experiencing growing pains. The second series welcomes Bel's new boss Randall Brown, (Torchwood and Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi) who like any effective leader knows how to best get under his team's skin. Finding all the right strings, he marionettes them into delivering their best work.
Cast of 'The Hour'
What would a tense, nail biter of a show be without a smattering of sexual shenanigans? The Hour's front man Hector (Dominic West), Freddie's nemesis comes loaded with charm and an inflated ego that soon boasts every issue deserving of a spin on a therapist's couch. His sexy smouldering nature that initially had all women, including Bel swooning, eventually gives way to alcohol problems, club hopping for new conquests and general public misbehaviour. We have to thank Hector mind, it's through his insatiable appetite for fame, all things glitzy and glamorous that the shows writers provide a front row seat to the clubs and bars of the wonderfully decadent Soho. Watch as the ties that once bound the nation's morality to a higher pinnacle loosen considerably. The formalities of the 50s are fading, making way for the soon to arrive swinging 60s. An interesting period of questionable conduct and confused loyalties. Hector's poor wife Marnie, (Oona Chaplin, Quantum of Solace, yup another Bond film veteran) is utterly mortified by his self-centred antics. Bel is there for him as much as she can be during his struggle, unfortunately with all her power she can only do so much to protect him from the graves he digs himself into.
The show comfortably handles the uglier sides of a London life losing its sense of ordinary. A powerful first few episodes in the second series tackle discrimination, racism and fascism that surged against the influx of foreign faces streaming onto British shores. Class clashing is also brilliantly highlighted through the butting of working class rooted Freddie against the high class Hector. While Freddie's vying for his place and position, Victor's sense of entitlement leaves little to admire. A reflective and suggestive glance over the Empire as she transitioned into a period where people's private laundry was getting aired, discrepancies duly noted and tackled. As if the sultry mood wasn't already completely set in this post war period drama, the jazz infusions created by Kevin Sargent finish the show off a treat.
Nestling you right into the 50s with a score that offers everything from soothing sensuality, to eccentric and enigmatic tones that make performances from the spectacled sensation that is Randall Brown illuminate, The Hour offers a brilliant evocative exploration of the founding 50s, where characters like Bel, Marnie and Lix (Annie Chancellor) pioneer the way for women to be taken seriously in news and on television. A far and welcomed cry from the role of tea serving secretary they'd been kept stagnant in for too long.

LOS ANGELES — UCLA Anderson School of Management was featured in three recent business school surveys. The Economist published its Economist Intelligence Unit's "Which MBA?" 2005 ranking of full-time MBA programs, Business 2.0 ranked the investment value of an MBA, and The Wall Street Journal ranked UCLA Anderson among the top business schools nationwide.
"Our MBA programs consistently demonstrate their enduring value and growing reputation for our students, alumni and corporate recruiters," said Bruce G. Willison, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management.
In its Sept. 2005 issue, Business 2.0 published its "ROI on Your MBA", an Insiders Guide to America's Top Business Schools. This report (not a ranking) sets out to explore the value of the cost of an MBA, what sets each program apart and what it's like to attend these top schools. UCLA Anderson was featured in the top 25 schools in the nation who average the highest GMAT scores. UCLA Anderson's average GMAT score of 710 is the third highest among all the MBA programs listed. The article features UCLA Anderson graduates David Schiff ('05) and Steve Wadsworth ('88) and identifies strengths that include entrepreneurship and entertainment. |

The Coldest Battle of the Korean War
By Robert Randall Ryder // Autumn-Holiday 2019
Battling a relentless enemy and biting temperatures that reached 35 below zero, Charlie Gebhardt was among the American troops beating a hasty retreat at the Chosin Reservoir in late 1950.

Growing up on Chicago's West Side, Charlie Gebhardt thought he had a pretty good idea just how brutally cold winter could be. But the Army veteran changed his mind once he took part in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War in the winter of 1950 and faced temperatures of 35 below zero.
"My feet were like balls of lead. My fingers were turning black," recalls the 88-year-old Belvidere resident. "To this day, when I'm exposed to cold my cheeks will flash up. You can't imagine how cold it was and how difficult it was to deal with."
Bitter cold was only one of many battles Sgt. Charlie Gebhardt found himself fighting in late November 1950 during the first year of the war. The Korean War had been going on since June 1950 when Communist-backed troops from North Korea invaded South Korea without provocation. Responding to the invasion, a coalition of South Korean and United Nations forces led by the United States had stabilized the situation, retaken much of the territory lost, and had turned the tide of the war in South Korea's favor. Many thought the war could be over by Christmas with North Korea defeated, and the two sides reunited under democratic rule.
But everything changed in October when Communist China, which borders North Korea, entered the war. On Nov. 27, 1950, the Chinese forces surprised United States forces when close to 120,000 Chinese troops encircled and attacked U.S. Marine Corps and Army units near the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. This was the start of a brutal 17-day battle fought in some of the coldest conditions of the war that resulted in about 2,500 U.S. troops killed in action, 5,000 wounded and another 8,000 who suffered from frostbite.
"I got up there on Nov. 27, 10 a.m., three miles north of the inlet – and we got hit at 8:15 that night by the Chinese," recalls Gebhardt. "The Chinese had warned us. They didn't want us messing with those reservoirs."
Gebhardt was assigned to the Army's 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division during the battle and was an intelligence and planning specialist, helping those in charge decide what to do.
"I got top-secret clearance and I still got it! It was a critical MOS [Military Occupational Specialty]."
Gebhardt believes the American forces were caught off guard by the intensity of the Chinese attack and reacted the best they could in a chaotic situation.
"The whole thing was a fiasco," Gebhardt says. "We were thrown in at the last second – 2,389 Army guys and 700 South Korean kids who were grabbed off the street. We were short two infantry battalions and a brigade of artillery. It was such a helter-skelter operation."
With the American units surrounded and outnumbered, they had to organize a fighting retreat toward an evacuation seaport, marching 70 miles through treacherous mountains on what could best be described as an unpaved "ox cart" road. This was the only retreat route available to the American forces, and the Chinese were waiting for them, ready to attack, at almost every turn.
"I kept people moving," remembers Gebhardt. "I got guys together to try and break the roadblocks set up by the Chinese. There was no communication with the outside world, except for a Marine captain, a Captain Stanford who called in air support."
That air support provided by Marine Corps fighter-bombers proved crucial. It inflicted heavy casualties on the Chinese troops and gave the retreating soldiers and Marines a chance to make it to safety.
For Gebhardt, the situation was so daunting he could only focus on all the dangers he was facing from hour to hour and minute to minute.
"I didn't think a lot about tomorrow for a while," Gebhardt says. "I was just trying to survive the moment – the Chinese had us surrounded and we were outnumbered 10 to one. We were fighting the impossible. Death was always there. You were always next."
But as difficult as it was fighting the Chinese, battling the freezing temperatures that were frequently 20 below zero, or colder, was even worse. The bitter cold caused the lubricating oil in rifles to freeze up, rendering them useless in battle. Batteries in jeeps, trucks and radios wouldn't work properly and quickly ran down. Medical supplies froze on a regular basis. Frozen blood plasma was useless on the battlefield.
Morphine syrettes that were used for painful wounds had to be defrosted in the medic's mouth before they could be injected. Frostbite actually caused more casualties to American troops than the Chinese.
For Gebhardt, the cold was unimaginable, but he found a way to survive it.
"I had a good winter jacket, and I was told to always have a pair of socks under your armpits – that really helped," he says. "I had a sweater and heavy socks. But we just had combat jeans and regular combat boots [instead of winter boots]. It just was just cold, very cold. It was never warm enough."

Eventually, after days of fighting the Chinese and the bitter cold conditions, the Army and Marine units made it to safety. But because of the horrendous conditions, many wounded had been left behind.
"We walked across the ice and got to the Marines, and a Marine Colonel chastised us for leaving our wounded behind. I got into a warming tent, recovered from the cold and tried to organize a way to rescue those left behind with some trucks. An officer said, 'If you get some men who are nuts enough to go with you, I'll supply the trucks and drivers.' So, I found 46 nuts who were willing to go back, and we rescued 84 men who were in bad shape. They were wounded or frozen. Their wounds were unattended."
For that rescue mission that in all likelihood saved the lives of those 84 men, Gebhardt was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the nation's second-highest medal for bravery in combat, ranked only behind the Medal of Honor.
Battling both the Chinese and the severe cold did finally take its toll on Gebhardt. He eventually collapsed from pneumonia and exhaustion and was evacuated by plane on Dec. 4 to a rear area where he eventually recovered.
When asked what he remembers most about the Battle of the Chosin, Gebhardt responds without hesitation.
"Only 385 out of 2,389 Army G.I.'s escaped the battle without being killed, wounded, surrendered or missing in action," he says. "Only three officers remained [out of more than 100]."
For Gebhardt, the Korean War was far from over. After recovering, he eventually received a battlefield promotion to Second Lieutenant and later was promoted to Captain. He was wounded in Korea during March 1951 when shrapnel from a mortar round pierced his right hand.
"I was outside a command post in South Korea and raised my hand instinctively to protect myself and was wounded. No big deal," Gebhardt says. "They put a small bandage on it – you can still see it. I never told anybody about it." Because he never reported the wound, he never received the Purple Heart Medal he had earned for being wounded.
After serving in Korea and later being discharged, Gebhardt decided to make a life and a career outside of the Army back in Illinois. As a teenager, he had worked in the railroad industry in Chicago and decided to return to it. He eventually got a degree in transportation and became involved in the railroad's union, holding several leadership positions.
He married his wife Linnea, had two beautiful children and eventually moved to Belvidere. Today, he is happily retired, remains active in the community despite battling a serious illness, and serves on burial honor guards for local veterans who have passed away.
"I've had a good life – the whole thing has been a good life. I appreciate everyone I've had the chance to get to know," Gebhardt says.
When asked what he wants people to know the most about the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, his eyes light up and his voice grows strong.
"The Army was there! The Marines weren't the only ones who were there!"
Incredible as it sounds, Gebhardt says he has no regrets about the hardships he faced during the battle, and the many memories of war he still carries with him to this day.
"I was with the greatest combat infantry men in my unit," he says. "Yes, I had to put up with a lot of combat, but I got through it because I had so many great people beside me.
"I don't really care about the awards and decorations that much," Gebhardt continues. The only badge I really respect is the Combat Infantry Badge, [awarded only to those in the Army who've been in combat]. I'd do it all over again, because of my band of brothers."

When NC's Walking Contradiction Of A Lt. Gov. Actually Proves We Need To Teach As Much Science And Social Studies As Possible (Even In Elementary School)
He's writing a memoir. Not sure what history he thinks he has made in public service.
He hasn't completed a single term in office, created polarizing initiatives such as the indoctrination police in public schools, and spent more time on paid speaking engagements than most seasoned politicians.
Yet a recent report from WRAL.com about an upcoming memoir from the current Lt, Gov. is one of the best portraits of a hypocritical walking contradiction – one that actually is proving why we need to invest more in public education for the sake of our kids and future generations.
And he makes some really interesting comments:
So much for getting students interested in STEM especially in this ever-changing economy. Even more cringe-worthy is that he is sitting in an office in the Triangle – Raleigh specifically – which is right next to RESEARCH Triangle Park, one of the most important hubs of technology in the country.
Yep. The man without the science degree who hasn't looked at the history of this very important topic beyond his partisan lenses makes an uneducated claim that global warming is "junk science." When well over 95% of the world's experts are adamantly united that it is not junk science, Robinson goes further and claims that most North Carolinians "know that global warming is junk.
Before the Supreme Court made its recent decision on the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v. Wade, the number one issue for Gen Z voters was climate change. Now throw in the added motivation of reproductive rights (and Robinson seems to know a things or two about those), and you have a really galvanized portion of the population that will more than happily let Robinson know how out of touch he is with "most people in North Carolina."
This is what he said about the State Department of Education.
Talk about the need to study history in all grades.
When is the last time our legislature has gone to a local school board or school system for answers and concerns?
Robinson sure as hell has not. He set up a task force to "rat them out" on vague accusations of indoctrination. We even have in my school system a candidate for school board who is touting his endorsement.
And that "one entity" thing? A government official who says that one entity needs all of the power? To "expect to influence the way education is done?"
It's about checks and balances. Like the one set up in a constitution.
Learned in a social studies class.
So, Robinson wants to continue a way for taxpayer money to fund three different school systems in this state – traditional, charters, and private schools (vouchers)?
Interestingly, this is a place where that need for "one entity" does not apply to Robinson's selective reasoning.
But what is more disturbing is that blurb about public schools could become "a thing of the past."
Our state constitution stipulates that North Carolina provides a free quality education for the public. Sadly ironic that a man wanting to be the top ranked official to defend that state constitution seems to be happily resigned to let public schools become a "thing of that past."
You mean returned to parents and guardians who all have the time, money, and resources to allow the student to stay home and be educated on behavior?
For a man who thinks he knows how most people in the state feel about global warming, he sure doesn't know the average family's economic needs.
And does he stipulate what the curriculum for teaching a child proper behavior because his words about a woman's role in marriage and society tell this parent whose own daughter is studying science at a state university that he is not qualified.
In a state that has the worst unemployment benefits in the nation, never extended Medicare when the federal government would finance it, and has the lowest federally allowed minimum wage, Robinson is not only proving he is ignorant, but painfully uneducated.
And he wants to control public education.
In some psychology class in a public university, that statement will be used to define a man who can't stand to be around a woman who refuses to submit to a man.
After the Senate session, Robinson caught up with Mayfield outside the chamber and told her, "Next time, before you get ready to say something on that floor, come see me." He then walked away quickly and didn't respond to questions from startled onlookers.
And then there's that myth that teachers are "grooming" students.
I am a teacher. I have never told a student, "Oh, you're gay." And the last I looked, schools don't hold gay pride parades.
Wonder if Robinson understands the impact of generational wealth?
Maybe he didn't get enough social studies classes?
Wonder what Robinson would say about this?
Nothing systemic there, right?

Guilty of Romance (Japan, 2011)
'People come to love hotels for sex. Many love hotels are in the love hotel district. In the 1990s, hookers worked the streets of Maruyama-cho Love Hotel district. A mystery took place there on the eve of the 21st Century.' The on-screen text that introduces Sion Sono's sexually-charged Guilty of Romance is one of the few pieces of definite information that the audience receives en route to a downward spiral of repressed desire. Although the Shibuya locale is recognisable enough, Sono allows his surrealistic impulses full reign, making this third installment in his 'hate trilogy' – following Love Exposure (2008) and Cold Fish (2010) – a film that is more interested in examining the extremes of female sexuality than in achieving a specific sense of time or space. Guilty of Romance hinges on an unreliable narrative concerning Izumi (Megumi Kagurazaka), the submissive wife of bestselling novelist Yukio Kikuchi (Kanji Tsuda), who is bored of her daily routine and chaste relationship. Yukio leaves home at 7am and does not return until 9pm, preferring to write at his office, so Izumi takes a supermarket job in order to get out of the house. While selling sausages, Izumi is spotted by a modelling agent who offers work that may involve nudity and she is soon engaging in a softcore shoot with a 'model' called Martini. Suddenly liberated, Izumi wanders the streets of Shibuya, leading to strange encounters that are sometimes as philosophical as they are physical. All of this occurs in the first thirty minutes.
Guilty of Romance is a typically incident-filled Sono experience, with the establishing scenes serving as a springboard for his particular brand of provocation, rather than as a narrative foundation. Another main character is introduced in the form of Mitsuko (Makoto Togashi), a university lecturer in literature by day who prostitutes herself in the love hotel district by night on the grounds that women are always 'selling' themselves and may as well get paid for it, regardless of the amount received. As with Cold Fish, the scenario for Guilty of Romance was prompted by a true crime story: a woman from a respectable background with a position at the Tokyo Electric Power Company was found murdered in the Shibuya area, with the subsequent investigation revealing that the victim had turned to sex work for quick thrills and easy money. This woman was obviously the model for Mitsuko and a wraparound story has police detective Kazuko Yoshida (Miki Mizuno) investigating a Shibuya homicide involving 'mixed corpses' (half female body parts, parts, half plastic mannequin pieces), but Sono is less interested in solving the murder case than in depicting transgressive behaviour. Belle de Jour (1967), Freud and Kafka are all inspirations or reference points, with the latter being name-checked throughout as his anti-heroines seek 'The Castle', or sexual fulfilment through self-destruction. The use of baroque and classical music complements Sono's intellectual musings, often removing the film from its sleazy downtown trappings, although the director certainly has fun with the gaudy love hotel interiors.
With so much going on, some of the supporting characters get lost in the shuffle, but Izumi's husband reappears just in time to show that Sono has a master plan. Yukio's profession as a novelist informs the film's structure as Guilty of Romance is ordered into five chapters (Kikuchi Izumi, The Castle, Ozawa Mitsuko, The Enchantress Club and The End) which signal Izumi's journey, or descent, while suggesting that not everything we are seeing is to be believed. Characters are more archetypes than relatable human beings, with Sono throwing in some knowing references to Kagurazaka's Gravure Idols status and holding the attention of the curious viewer through a disregard for genre convention. This review refers to the 'international cut' of Guilty of Romance which has recently been released in the UK by Eureka and runs for 112 minutes, as opposed to the original 144 minute version that was included in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, while the shorter cut was sold to distributors at the film market. Sono has endorsed the 'international cut', but the role of Detective Yoshida is so reduced (her scenes were trimmed in favour of focusing on Izumi and Mitsuko) that the film sadly feels incomplete. Considering that the four-hour Love Exposure has become such a cult favourite, it is regrettable that Sono's third 'hate' film has been handled in this manner. Yet even in truncated form, Guilty of Romance will linger in the memory much longer than most 2011 releases.

This post is part of a series about our DIY Kentucky Vineyard wedding. It was such a labor of love and there is so much to tell, so I'll be splitting it up into categories. I hope you'll find some inspiration and entertainment from what we did for our wedding, along with some ideas for your own day! You can read about the music here, the venue here, the decorations here, the dress here, or the hair and makeup here!
The world never spins faster than when you're getting married. I think scientists should study it. Even though I was awake for over 20 hours that day, it seemed like only minutes went by between my getting out of bed in the morning and going to sleep that night. So it's a miracle that I can even remember anything at all, really.
Some memories are weirdly vivid. I remember the actual sound of laughter with my sister and girlfriends over breakfast at my parents' house before we all started getting ready. I remember drinking mimosas out of a plastic cup while I curled my hair and how the room smelled like a mixture of hairspray and champagne. I remember putting on my dress and my mother buttoning the back. I remember our family members singing together in the ceremony and my sister refusing to look at me so she wouldn't cry. I remember a lot of things I knew would happen, things that were planned, but some of my favorite moments of my wedding day were not planned at all.
Our nephew, Brady, was very serious about his ring-bearing duties. It was all he talked about for weeks leading up to the wedding day. He even tried to show our flower girl how to hold her basket of flower petals, so when she actually walked down the aisle, she didn't scatter a single petal because I think she was too freaked out by Brady's seriousness of the job, plus the 300 people looking at her and her gold TOMS.
When I was trying to choose a song for Kyle and I to dance to at the reception, I was having the hardest time finding something that felt right. We have so many "our songs," but none of them were really for a first dance. And honestly, I didn't really care about picking a song that had some sort of sentimental value to it, I just wanted the perfect beat and lyrics. Then I was cooking and "Dream a Little Dream of Me" came on my playlist. And I got chills and a rush of snapshots of times with Kyle over the years went through my mind. This was it. We had listened to it a lot in the early days of dating, and it was such a song of love and nostalgia for me that I knew it was perfect. Dancing with Kyle for the first time as husband and wife was obviously wonderful, but having that moment of epiphany in the kitchen over that song is what I remember alongside the memories of dancing with him in that barn. The smell of Chanel No. 5 will forever take me back to my wedding day and honeymoon. If I just think of the smell of that perfume, I am instantly there. Another song-related memory that I can see perfectly in my mind was when I was telling my siblings what song I had chosen to walk down the aisle to, a song that I wanted to keep a secret from everyone as a surprise (which didn't happen), because it was so perfect for me. We were sitting at my mom's kitchen table, just the three of us, talking wedding stuff, and I typed in "over the rainbow violin version" into YouTube and this video came up. We listened to it and in typical emotional Queen sibling fashion, started crying. All of us. I watched The Wizard of Oz constantly as a kid (read more about why this song is so important to me in this post!), so this song and I have a strong connection. My siblings knew that, and after the cat was out of the bag and everyone knew that was my song, everyone agreed that it was perfect. I will always remember walking with my dad down the aisle to that song, but I will also forever see my siblings faces in my head when I think of that moment. They were the ones I chose to tell first because they get me.
One of the best moments of that day was totally random. The entire wedding party was lined up behind part of the vineyard waiting to walk to the ceremony, and Kyle's brother, Caleb, the Best Man, started picking grapes from the vine and eating them. He said they were delicious, so we started eating them. There I was, ready to go, all the guests seated and waiting for us, and I was eating grapes right off the vine. I'm not sure why I loved that moment so much, but it's one of the things that immediately comes to mind when I think of that day. The moment that Kyle and I saw each other was perfect, laid back, and full of laughter. No tears allowed. I remember he brought me a bouquet of flowers, but we giggled because I already had a bouquet, so I handed off my "official" one for the ones he brought. I remember the texture of his suit under my hands. I remember the brightness of the sun out in the vineyard, the squeeze of his hug and the look on his face, but more than anything, I remember that feeling. I felt every emotion at once. I felt everything we'd experienced together, every vacation we'd been on, every song we'd sung, every date we'd had, every joke and every kiss and every understanding, all of which brought us to that moment.
Because the ceremony was on top of a hill, we needed some sort of transportation. Enter the golf carts and pick-up trucks. The girls hitched rides up the hill, and at one point had to help Sarina into the back of a truck. She grew up in Queens, New York, so she wasn't really familiar with how one is to do that in a dress. So funny. Of course, there are so many memories of that day, so many more that they would never all fit into a post, but for some reason these stand out in my mind a lot. We've been married over 7 months now, and it still feels like we just got married last weekend. I hope these memories are always this vivid, and I hope your day brings some unexpected favorite moments, too.
This is the sweetest — I absolutely love this post!
I love reading your posts, but have difficulty. Could you make the type be a little darker? I've adjusted my screen lighting, but still have trouble reading. Thanks for the postings.
Thanks for sharing you beautiful wedding memories, you are as beautiful inside as you are on the outside! What a special day. Always be this happy. Love you sweetie. |
What Is Repression?

Verywell / Daniel Fishel
Repression is the unconscious blocking of unpleasant emotions, impulses, memories, and thoughts from your conscious mind. First described by Sigmund Freud, the purpose of this defense mechanism is to try to minimize feelings of guilt and anxiety.
However, while repression might initially be effective at calming these difficult emotions, it can lead to greater anxiety down the road. Freud believed that repression could lead to psychological distress.
Repression vs. Suppression
Repression is often confused with suppression, another type of defense mechanism. Where repression involves unconsciously blocking unwanted thoughts or impulses, suppression is entirely voluntary. Specifically, suppression is deliberately trying to forget or not think about painful or unwanted thoughts.
History of Repression
In order to understand how repression works, it is important to look at how Sigmund Freud viewed the mind. Freud conceived of the human mind as being much like an iceberg.
The top of the iceberg that you can see above the water represents the conscious mind. The part of the iceberg that is submerged below the water, but is still visible, is the preconscious. The bulk of the iceberg that lies unseen beneath the waterline represents the unconscious. We may not be aware of what lies in the unconscious, but its contents can still affect our behavior in a number of different ways.
Freud believed that the unconscious mind has a powerful impact on personality and could potentially lead to psychological distress.
As Freud worked to help patients uncover their unconscious feelings, he began to believe that there was some mechanism at work that actively kept unacceptable thoughts hidden. This led to his development of the concept of repression.
Repression was the first defense mechanism Freud identified and he believed it to be the most important. In fact, the entire process of Freudian psychoanalysis focused on bringing these unconscious feelings and urges into awareness so they could be dealt with consciously.
Signs of Repression
Freud suggested that physical symptoms could be associated with repression. Subsequent research has linked an array of signs and symptoms with repressed emotions. These include:
Back, neck, chest, and abdominal pain
Psychologically, repression can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. There is some evidence that accepting negative emotions (rather than repressing or suppressing them) could help people respond better to stress and contribute to overall psychological health.
There may also be some behavioral signs that someone is repressing memories, thoughts, or emotions. They might have difficulty talking about their thoughts or feelings, even becoming defensive when asked about them. They might feel numb or take subconscious actions (such as drinking alcohol or immersing themselves in social media) to avoid difficult feelings.
How Repression Is Used
Repression is one way the mind can deal with difficult thoughts or emotions. And in some cases, that is helpful. One review of research concluded that distorting reality through repression most often helps improve psychological and social functioning. People who have what is known as a repressive coping style tend to experience less depression and cope better with pain.
Other research into repressive coping showed that it is more common in older people, suggesting that it something that develops over time. It is also associated with better well-being. However, repression can also be used to avoid confronting difficult experiences and feelings, and this can have meaningful consequences.
Healthy Coping Skills for Uncomfortable Emotions
Impact of Repression
Research has supported the idea that selective forgetting is one way that people block awareness of unwanted thoughts or memories. One way this can occur is through what is referred to as retrieval-induced forgetting.
Retrieval-induced forgetting occurs when recalling certain memories causes other related information to be forgotten. So repeatedly calling forth some memories might lead other memories to become less accessible. Traumatic or unwanted memories, for example, might be forgotten by repeated retrieval of more positive ones.
Freud believed that dreams were one way to peek into the unconscious mind. By analyzing the manifest content of dreams (or the literal events that take place in a dream), he believed that we could learn more about the latent content of the dream (or the symbolic, unconscious meanings).
Repressed feelings may pop up in the fears, anxieties, and desires that we experience in these dreams.
Slips of the Tongue
Freudian slips of the tongue are another example of how repressed thoughts and feelings can make themselves known. Freud believed that mistaken slips of the tongue could be very revealing, often showing what we really think or feel about something on an unconscious level.
While these feelings may be repressed, they have a way of sneaking out when we least expect them. Calling your romantic partner the name of someone you work with might just be a simple mistake—but Freud would suggest that it might be a sign that you have repressed sexual desires for that co-worker.
The Oedipus Complex
In his theory of psychosexual development, Freud suggested that children go through a process during the genital stage where they initially view their same-sex parent as a rival for the opposite-sex parent's affections. In order to resolve this conflict, they repress these feelings of aggression and instead begin to identify with their same-sex parent.
For boys, these feelings are known as the Oedipal complex, while for the analogous feelings in young girls are called the Electra complex.
Phobias can be an example of how a repressed memory might continue to exert an influence on behavior. For example, a young child is bitten by a dog. They later develop a severe phobia of dogs but have no memory of when or how this fear originated. They have repressed the painful memory of the fearful experience with the dog, so they are unaware of exactly where their fear came from.
Differences Between Fears and Phobias
Controversies About Repression
The notion of repressed memories, or the existence of memories that are so painful or traumatic that they are kept out of conscious awareness, has been a controversial topic in psychology.
Repression and Psychoanalysis
While repression is a term frequently used in psychology, it is considered a loaded and controversial concept. It has long served as a core idea within psychoanalysis, yet critics have questioned the validity and even the existence of repression.
Psychoanalytic theory suggests that repression plays a role in distorting an individual's reality, which may then lead to neurosis and dysfunction. However, some research suggests that these distortions may have a beneficial impact in some circumstances.
It is also important to note that even if repression does exist and certain things are hidden from awareness, this does not mean that this process necessarily contributes to mental disorders.
While it was once thought that psychoanalysis helped people by surfacing repressed memories, it is currently believed that there are many other therapeutic actions that contribute to the success of any type of psychological therapy, psychoanalysis or otherwise.
Repression and Memory
Repressed memories came to the spotlight during the 1980s and 1990s when a number of high-profile cases involving recovered memories of childhood abuse captured media attention.
Researchers such as Elizabeth Loftus have repeatedly demonstrated that false memories of events that did not actually happen form quite readily. People are also prone to confabulation of memories. People may fully believe that such memories are accurate, even though the events did not actually occur as remembered.
What Is the Mandela Effect?
Freud himself noted that people sometimes experienced a "recovery" of repressed childhood memories during the course of psychoanalytic therapy. In his book "Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis," he concluded that "these scenes from infancy are not always true. Indeed, they are not true in the majority of cases, and in a few of them they are the direct opposite of the historical truth."
One of the key assumptions in the classic tradition of psychoanalysis has been that traumatic memories can be repressed. However, most research has found that trauma actually tends to heighten memory of the painful event.
In many cases, trauma can actually strengthen the memory of an event. People may develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of traumatic experiences, causing them to experience vivid flashbacks of the events. Rather than experiencing repression of the painful memories, people relive them again and again, involuntarily.
This does not necessarily mean that memories of these events are completely accurate. Memory distortions are common, especially because the encoding, storage, and retrieval processes are prone to errors.
While Freud believed that lifting repression was the key to recovery, this has not been supported by research. Instead, some experts believe that bringing repressed material to light can be the first step toward change. Understanding something, after all, is not enough to fix a problem. But it can lead to further efforts that may result in real relief and lasting changes.
Why is repression considered the most basic ego defense mechanism?
Repression is considered the basis of all other defense mechanisms because it fundamentally affects conscious awareness. If an uncomfortable thought, memory, or emotion is repressed, the conscious mind is not aware of it and therefore does not need to, or have the opportunity to, employ any other defense mechanisms.
What are some examples of repression?
Incidents that prompt fears or phobias may be repressed. For example, a child may have a bad experience in a swimming pool and later develop a fear of water, but not connect the two. Or, the mind may cope with other uncomfortable experiences or thoughts by repressing them. These could include anything from being ridiculed by a classmate to losing a pet to neglect or abuse.
How do you know if you have repressed something?
If you have repressed something, you might see some physical or emotional signs, such as stress, anxiety, or chronic pain. You might notice behavioral signs, such as discomfort with talking about your feelings. You might even discover that you and a loved one have different recollections of certain events or situations.
If you are concerned about how you are reacting to stress or to past or present life experiences, talking with a therapist may be helpful. A therapist can help you learn healthy coping skills.

Diphtheria: Nigeria Records 34 Deaths – NCDC
7 days ago Health, News Leave a comment
The Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr Ifedayo Adetifa, has confirmed the outbreak of diphtheria disease has killed at least 35 persons in the country.
Dr Adetifa said this during a programme on Arise Television on Friday night.
The NCDC had in an advisory issued on Friday said it had responded to reports of diphtheria cases in Lagos and Kano States and was monitoring the situation in Osun and Yobe States where cases are now being picked up.
Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection caused by the bacterium called Corynebacterium species that affects the nose, throat, and sometimes, skin of an individual.
Diphtheria spreads easily between people through direct contact with infected people, droplets from coughing or sneezing, and contact with contaminated clothing and objects.
The onset of signs and symptoms usually starts after two to 10 days of exposure to the bacteria. The symptoms include fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, red eyes (conjunctivitis), and neck swelling.
Adetifa said, "There have now been cases of Diphtheria reported in Lagos, Kano, Yobe, and Osun states. Kano currently has the highest number of cases and this is now closely followed by Yobe state.
"At the time of the report, Kano had recorded about 25 deaths but actually in total, at this week-ending, I think there have been about 34 deaths in total now.
"While this is a highly preventable and a very treatable condition, without the appropriate treatment including antibiotics and diphtheria antitoxin for severely-ill cases, fatality can be high. Otherwise, with early detection and prompt institution of the right treatment, the outcomes are typically very good."
The NCDC DG said that the disease was a relatively easy condition to treat.
"It responds very well to relatively cheap and commonly available antibiotics. The problem is for the severe cases that require diphtheria antitoxin," he said.
He also noted that the agency had shared diphtheria antitoxins with the first two states where cases were reported.
He added that plans were underway to extend the antitoxins to other states where cases are found.
Newsextra24 reports that during the week, the NCDC trained some laboratory focal persons and experts across the country.
The training was part of activities to strengthen diagnostic capacity for diphtheria in the country.
"The important thing is that patients are recognised early and treated early.
"We are in a good place to help states respond but it is key that patients are recognised early, diagnosis is made quickly and they are placed on the right treatment.
"Diphtheria has been so uncommon that we now have perhaps several generations of healthcare workers who have never seen a case before.
"Those at highest risk are children and adults who never received vaccines, people who live in a crowded environment, and people who live in areas with poor sanitation. Again, there is a bit of low socioeconomic standing associated with this and we have to keep an eye now," he added.

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is an uncommon oncogenic disorder which occurs as a result of genetic mutations on chromosome 3p. Retinal capillary haemangiomas and CNS haemangioblastomas have been well-characterised in genotypic-phenotypic analyses, but cystic visceral lesions are less common and have been less frequently studied. The aim of this study was to perform genotypic and phenotypic analysis of a cohort of VHL patients that developed cystic visceral lesions to determine whether their genotype differs from that seen in other manifestations of VHL and whether the ocular manifestations differ.
This study reports a prospective case series of twenty-one patients identified from the Hammersmith Hospital Genetics Service database as having VHL mutations. Patients underwent regular ocular and systemic screening as well as genotypic analysis. The main outcome measures were the development of VHL lesions, either ocular or systemic.
Cystic visceral lesions were detected in six of the 21 patients from the clinic (29%). These included renal cysts in four patients, pancreatic cysts in three patients, and an epididymal cystadenoma in one patient. Renal cysts were not associated with any specific genotype. Pancreatic cysts appeared to occur in association with VHL gene deletions and all developed CNS haemangioblastomas. Only one patient developed ocular manifestations, which occurred in this patient in the form of two retinal capillary haemangiomas.
VHL gene deletions appeared to be associated with pancreatic cysts and the development of CNS haemangioblastomas. Ocular manifestations are uncommon in this group of patients.
Keywords: von Hippel-Lindau, retinal capillary haemangioma, epididymal cyst, renal cyst, gene deletion.
Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a rare, multisystem, oncogenic disorder. Morphologically, it is characterised by multiple lesions of varying histological types [1-4], including benign cysts, benign vascular tumours and malignant tumours. There are six organ systems which are mainly affected, the CNS (Central Nervous System), retina, pancreas, kidney, adrenal gland and epididymis, and there are varying manifestations in each [1, 5]. Variable intra- and inter-familial expressivity is typical of VHL disease [6], but correlations have been demonstrated between mutational genotype and phenotype. For instance, deletions are associated with a low risk of pheochromocytoma, in contrast to missense mutations [1, 7-9]; a higher frequency of renal involvement has also been reported in truncating mutations compared to missense mutations [10]. Similarly, the risk of retinal capillary haemangioma (RCH) is also affected by the genotype, occurring in 38% of patients with missense mutations and 40% of those with truncating mutations, but only 14% of those with deletions [11]. It has also been reported that truncating mutations lead to an earlier age of onset of RCH compared to missense mutations and deletions [12].
However, the ocular manifestations of VHL which occur in patients with visceral cysts are much less well characterised and have not previously been reported. The aim of this study was to determine the ocular phenotype of patients identified as having visceral cysts and to assess any relationship with the underlying genotype.
In this study, we report a prospective case series of proven VHL disease gene carriers under the care of the VHL clinic at the Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK. Patients were eligible for inclusion in this study if they were undergoing follow-up in the VHL clinic and had proven VHL mutations on genotyping. Eligible participants were invited for ophthalmic screening in addition to their routine systemic screening. At the initial clinic visit, a retrospective review of the case notes was undertaken. Data relating to ocular and systemic disease manifestations were then collected prospectively for two years. The type of VHL mutation was documented in each case, VHL mutations being categorised as missense mutations, truncating mutations, or deletions.
VHL disease features were noted and categorised into one of four groups: cystic visceral lesions, other visceral lesions, CNS manifestations and ocular features. All patients had a good fundal view and a complete ophthalmic examination was carried out at the first and all subsequent clinic visits, including indirect peripheral retinal examination. All fundal lesions were documented by colour fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography was performed when the diagnosis of a retinal capillary haemangioma was uncertain.
Twenty-one patients were identified from the VHL clinic as carrying VHL disease genes and were thus eligible for inclusion in the study. All twenty-one agreed to participate in the study and to attend for ophthalmological screening. Of the 21 patients, eleven (52%) were male and ten (48%) were female. Twelve patients (57%) were Asian and nine (43%) were Caucasian; there were no patients of African or Afro-Caribbean descent. The mean age at the time of VHL diagnosis was 25 years (range, 6 to 59 years), but patients with RCH were diagnosed at a younger age (mean 17 years vs 29 years for patients without RCH).
Six of the twenty-one patients (29%) either presented with visceral cysts or developed them during the follow-up period of two years. Disease manifestations and associated mutational genotypes are summarised in Table 1. One patient presented with an epididymal cystadenoma and one presented with a renal cyst. Three patients developed pancreatic cysts during follow-up and three patients developed renal cysts. All of these patients who developed pancreatic cysts had VHL gene deletions and all developed CNS HGB at some stage. Only one of the six patients developed ocular manifestations of VHL, namely retinal capillary haemangiomas; none of the other patients developed any ocular manifestations.

We performed a study of patients with an atypical manifestation of VHL, namely visceral cysts, followed in a Genetics Clinic. Owing to their relatively benign nature, cystic visceral lesions have received comparatively less attention in relation to both their correlation with other phenotypic manifestations of VHL disease and genotypic associations. Cystic visceral lesions were detected in six of the 21 patients in the clinic (29%). These included renal cysts in four patients, pancreatic cysts in three patients, and an epididymal cystadenoma in one patient.
There are two case reports in the literature of epididymal cysts forming the first clinical manifestation of VHL [13, 14], one of which occurred in association with early-onset renal cell carcinoma. Epididymal cystadenomas have no established genotypic association [15], and we had only one patient with this manifestation in our cohort. Renal cysts are usually asymptomatic and found on screening in approximately 15% of patients with VHL disease [4, 16]. They are considered precursors to malignancy, but transformation appears uncommon [15]. In this study group, renal cysts were not associated with any specific genotype. Pancreatic cysts are also usually asymptomatic and detected on systemic screening; their reported prevalence varies from 15% to 74% of patients with VHL disease, with one recent systematic review finding an overall prevalence of 60% [17-20]. In our study, 3 patients (14%) had pancreatic cysts. All of these patients had VHL gene deletions and all developed CNS HGB at some stage. This association has been previously reported, but only one study contains genotypic data [17, 21].
The small numbers of patients included in our study and limited follow-up make it impossible to make any definitive conclusions about the genotypes and phenotypes of visceral cystic lesions. Nevertheless, our study does provide some supporting evidence for the previously observed phenotype comprising pancreatic cysts and CNS HGB linked to VHL deletions. In addition, one of our principal aims in performing this study was to see whether there was any association between visceral cystic lesions and ocular involvement. Although our small numbers again require us to be guarded in our conclusions, our failure to find any association suggests that further ocular study of a larger population of patients with visceral cystic lesions would be unlikely to prove rewarding.
In conclusion, we present the findings of clinical and molecular examination of a small group of patients with visceral cystic lesions in VHL disease. Pancreatic cysts appeared to be associated with VHL deletions, but ocular involvement was uncommon in this group of patients.
This paper describes the phenotype of a cohort of patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease who developed visceral cystic lesions. Genotyping results suggested that VHL gene deletions may be associated with pancreatic cysts and the development of central nervous system haemangioblastomas. Ocular manifestations proved uncommon in this group of patients.

Q: icefaces menupopup strange problem I have this piece of code:
<ice:panelGroup menuPopup="menuPopup1" onclick="fireContextMenu(this, event);">
<img src="/resources/images/external/bg-suppliers.gif"> </img>
</ice:panelGroup>
it renders this HTML as output (as expected):
<div class="icePnlGrp" id="j_id62" onclick="fireContextMenu(this, event);">
<img src="/resources/images/external/bg-suppliers.gif">
</div>
If i simply add a menuPopup attribute to the ice:panelGroup like:
<ice:panelGroup menuPopup="menuPopup1" onclick="fireContextMenu(this, event);">
<img src="/resources/images/external/bg-suppliers.gif"> </img>
</ice:panelGroup>
it simply CLOSES the divs before img tag:
<div class="icePnlGrp" id="j_id62" onclick="fireContextMenu(this, event);"></div>
<img src="/resources/images/external/bg-suppliers.gif">
which is really strange...
Do you guys have a work-around? It's probably a bug from icefaces but I cannot find anything related to this on their site...
Thanks.
A: Solution found.
Working with different templates I had two ice:forms in the final page and two body as well, and my panelGroup from one form referenced the menuPopup from the other form which gave the above issue.

PDF/UA (Universal Accessibility; englisch für "Universeller Zugang") ist ein Substandard des PDF-Standards (ISO 32000-1) für barrierefreie PDF-Dokumente. Er ist im August 2012 als ISO-Norm ISO 14289-1:2012-07 veröffentlicht worden (Document management applications – Electronic document file format enhancement for accessibility, Part 1: Use of ISO 32000‑1 [PDF/UA-1]), 2014 und 2016 überarbeitet als ISO 14289‑1:2014 bzw. ISO 14289-1:2016-12.
Beschreibung
PDF/UA definiert, wie der PDF-Standard anzuwenden ist, damit ein PDF-Dokument die Anforderungen an Barrierefreiheit erfüllen kann. Die Vorgaben von PDF/UA orientieren sich dabei an den Anforderungen der Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG; englisch für "Richtlinien für barrierefreie Webinhalte"). Die Richtlinien beschreiben die Beschaffenheit zugänglicher Webinhalte, geben zahlreiche Empfehlungen ab und formulieren dafür testbare, nicht technik-spezifische Erfolgskriterien. Dem gegenüber definiert PDF/UA die technischen Anforderungen an barrierefreie PDF-Dokumente auf Grundlage des PDF-Standards. Diese Anforderungen liefern einen Qualitätsstandard für zugängliche PDF-Dokumente und bieten darüber hinaus auch Orientierung für die Entwicklung konformer Anzeige- oder Verarbeitungsprogramme sowie konformer assistiver Technologien.
Die Anforderungen an ein PDF/UA-konformes, barrierefreies Dokument setzen sich aus technischen und inhaltlichen Eigenschaften der PDF-Datei zusammen. Ein zentraler Aspekt hierbei ist das Auszeichnen der relevanten Inhalte mit PDF-Tags. Zur Umsetzung steht Nutzern das Matterhorn Protokoll zur Verfügung. Das Matterhorn-Protokoll besteht aus 31 Prüfpunkten mit insgesamt 136 Fehlerbedingungen (Kriterien für eine Konformität). Die Fehlerbedingungen teilen sich in 87 von Software prüfbare, sowie weitere 47 von menschlichen Prüfern zu testende Kriterien auf (2 Prüfkriterien sind nicht zugeordnet). Die Anforderungen decken sich in weiten Teilen mit der WCAG 2.0. Allerdings sind nicht alle Forderungen aus der WCAG übernommen und an einigen Stellen zusätzliche oder leicht unterschiedliche Anforderungen formuliert.
Für die Entwicklung PDF/UA-konformer Software wurde der Leitfaden Tagged PDF Best Practice Guide: Syntax erstellt.
Prüfung
Zur Prüfung der PDF/UA-Konformität stehen zahlreiche Werkzeuge zur Verfügung, wie: Preflight von Adobe Acrobat DC (nach PDF/UA ab Version April 2017), PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC), Callas pdfaPilot, axes QuickFix, CommonLook PDF Validator, OneVision Software Asura, veraPDF (ab Version 2.0).
PDF/UA wird derzeit von Screenreadern noch nicht speziell unterstützt. Die PDF Association hat deshalb zusammen mit der Schweizer Stiftung Zugang für alle das Projekt NVDA goes PDF/UA lanciert, um den Open Source Screenreader NVDA so weiterzuentwickeln, dass er vollständig dem PDF/UA-Standard entspricht.

The first night in a very long time to sleep with tent flaps open -- no hat, no socks either!! AND no dew on the fly so it gets packed dry. And such a magnificent dawn with some kangaroo friends dropping in for a visit.
I was very surprised by the huge and multi-stemmed marri on top of the hill behind Blackwood hut: a very different form to what we've seen in the Jarrah forests.
Short day today, particularly due to the diversion which took off a couple of kilometres. Lovely relaxed start to the day: P bouncing off the walls with his camera. Lovely sitting watching the mist in the valley and the sun creeping across it. Very still initially, then a breeze came up and we found ourselves a spot chilly. Lovely crescent moon had risen last night as the sun was selling, lovely having the tent set up on the pine needle carpet.
We headed off up and over then down "Cardiac Hill", spot slippery, but OK going down, though it should be "Orthopaedic Hill" going down. Very infested with blackberry. Went past the old homestead and then along the river, which was a big river, quite gorgeous.
The "Cardiac Hill" was pretty easy going down -- only about 150m, so it doesn't give the speed wobbles like the giant staircase or the golden stairs -- still going up would be a different story. The level of blackberry infestation was troubling, but it did make us think of summer fruits and maybe picking a bucked on the way up the hill to have with dehydrated ice-cream after dinner.
After Cardiac Hill, or as Sandi wanted to call the downward journey, Orthopaedic Hill, the Track passes through private property and by Southhampton Homestead and then along the pretty Blackwood River to the Southhampton Bridge.
The walk along the Blackwood Creek was a huge highlight -- walking beside large rivers is something we don't often get to do. Lots of blackberry here too and what we wondered was gladioli?
Met a couple doing "Track work" on their section and had a chat. Didn't take long to get to the bridge and cross over. Saw a bright lemony coloured pattersonia, which was a nice surprise. Went onto the diversion and it was somewhat stark with Pinus Radiata recently logged. Had morning tea in a little area of native forest, then further of the same.
Came across an old orchard with figs, loquats, a citrus and many others flowering, but no house any more.
Collects non-burnt rubbish into rows?
Finally back on the track and through an area of hoveas, and afore mentioned pattersonias and water bush and wattles in bloom. Really gorgeous. Some very airless paths through water bush, like tunnels. We wet our bandanas with good effect.
The walk along Camp Creek Road was amazingly close and humid when enclosed in water bush. Only just enough water in the last creek to wet our bandanas.
Saw a wee goanna today that even stayed to be photographed. Very decent of it.
Over a last hill and down to the hut, very nestled into the bush by a very babbling brook. Quite delightful with bright sunshine and many wee birds.
Made good time to the shelter, but the very first thing (after the portrait photos) was lunch, which today we get to enjoy with a cup of tea! We "ummed" and "ahhed" about washing our clothes, and after relaxing in the sun and putting up the tent, we went for a wee walk up the road where the Hoveas were blooming beautifully.
Glad to get into the bush again, but sad we missed the dam and everything else. Interested to see in the Gregory Brook hut that a Spring 2011 fire is planned on the Track (real) -- made us wonder if they were taking advantage of the diversion?
The hut itself is very secluded next to the brook, which continues to babble along prettily. The sun is disappearing quickly -- so different to yesterday's location.
The walk in the late afternoon was really gorgeous. The DEC had obviously been here doing some work on the access road.
Made a late decision to wash the clothes, thinking that they'd get pretty dry under the shelter overnight. Our wee lenght of ~10m of cord is certainly extremely handy!
After a really relaxing afternoon (after what was: a very short walk), we did our lucky-dip thing (chicken this time) and cooked a delicious dinner and got ready for tomorrow's walk. The sun disappeared quickly and it was lovely to climb into our wee home away from home again: the tent was essential in these damp areas as we'd been told that mosquitoes are a problem.
The worst thing about these pit/composting toilets is at night, when you forget to tilt your headlight back up, when you lift the toilet seat to do a wee (like all good boys are trained to do): you see the grim detail of what everyone else has left behind! |
Beranda[Serbia]DECREPANCY Interview (Serbia)
DECREPANCY Interview (Serbia)
Answered By Andrija Marovic ( Guitars )
Update 20 April 2012 ?
Decrepancy was formed in the year 2004. Members of original line-up were: Igor Nikolic Gizma (vocals), Andrija Marovic (guitar) and Zoran Sokolovic (guitar) at that time also a member of the band Infest. As you may noticed, we had problems to find a drummer who will be able to play our songs. After we split ways with Petro (Sacramental Blood), with whom we did some rehearsals, we decided to find a permanent solution for the drummer. Then we met Djole who become our friend and consistent member of the line-up. Very soon after that, due to the personal problems, Zoran Sokolovic decided to leave the band. Before he made a decision to leave, we recorded a demo in home production. Instead of live drums on demo we used rhytam machine. The sound of demo was very raw so we decided not to spread copies into public. In winter 2008. Marko Radenkovic joins the band on bass guitar,so the bend was set for rehearsals again,after few months of rehearsing band had one gig.Very soon after Djole leaves band,and we faced another drummer problem.In summer of 2009. Dusan Milosevic Dule(ex.Infest), joins the crew,so we are almost complete.Again after few months of rehearsing we had another gig, after which Cvele joined the band on guitar,and finaly band is now how we imagined it. We have finished material for the whole album we are now recording it in Kragujevac in Wild Cat studio,if everything goes as planned it will be released in spring of 2010.
How did DECREPANCY form, and what were your influences? What made you choose to be a death metal band for Great Choosen till Now?
Decrepancy was formed in the year 2004 by high school friends Andrija and Gizma who shared the same taste for music. They were later joined by Zoran who already played in band Infest. At that time we were all into bands like Suffocation, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Death, Hypocrisy, Entombed, Vader and Hate. Beside death metal we were listening almost all metal genres but when we saw some death metal bands playing live we figured out that we want to play death metal.
Can I considered a Technical Death Metal with Old School Touching band. What are your thoughts on the term?
Yeah, you are partly right. We see our style as old school death metal with some touches of technicality, but you can simply call our style death metal.
Tell me For Upcoming CD , "Paralized Will " is a masterpiece that unites your past with a future direction I can't quite figure out. Were there additional influences or developments to your style? Where do you go from here?
In the past the bands we were listening were very influential on music we were composing and that can be heard in our older songs. Now we are trying to create our own unique style and to some extent we succeeded in doing that on "Paralyzed Will". The next release will sound as Decrepancy should sound from the beginning.
What if You compare it with Before Material since 2004?
Our older material was equivalent to age, skills and conditions that we possessed, but now we are not bounded by anything in producing the sound that we want.
How you can meet with No Label Records and agreed to Release CD "Paralized Will", does have a DECREPANCY Special Criteria for a Label Records to be released CD this Band?
We sent our material to No Label Records and soon after that an agreement of releasing the record was made. Regarding the record labels we have no special requirements, we just want them to be honest and professional.
How much guitar overdubbing and harmonization do you do in the studio? Is layering a necessity for the DECREPANCY formula to work properly?
As much as it takes for us to be satisfied. Basically, not too much time.
Will any lead guitar make an appearance on older tracks in a live setting now that you've established it as part of your vocabulary?
Of course! The solos may be little different than the ones recorded, but they won't be excluded. We have new guitarist Vojin Sarac and new drummer Nikola Milicevic who will improve our sound and make it more intense.
Is it important for death metal to be a genre of "respectable" skills, one that outsiders may not enjoy but can appreciate for its creative force?
We totally agree with you! Someone may not like the aesthetics of death metal but at the same time he may respect the complexity of music and skills of the musicians.
Like in the late 1970s, metal feels to many people like it has lost direction and become hollow. Is a change in direction needed, and if so, will that come from within metal?
In order to be original many bands tend to mix different genres and in our opinion that is the wrong way. What we think is needed is unique approach in making metal music. Nowadays it's very hard to be original because there are so many things already played and recorded by many bands. In the future we will tend to be almost completely narrative in our composition. There will be very few repetitive riffs in our songs.
I think many bands have great ideas for lyrics and concepts and metal in all forms really is very widely open to really any subject matter. Doesn't always have to deal with death and being bummed out, DECREPANCY Keep using Issues Theme From Life, Death, Socio-political Issues Till Now?
In our opinion the subject matter of death metal should be the so called dark side of life and anything that fits into that category. On the second album in our lyrics we are dealing with problems of pollution, men turned against nature, complexity of moral, human existence and inner struggle, contrary to our fist album where the focus was on the religion.
Can you tell me how the developments in Extreme Metal Music Movement on Serbia, Especially from Jagodina for Now? Any Recommend For New Name Here?? How Now with INZEST, SACRAMENTAL BLOOD, DISDAINED, DEFILEMENT, TERRORMACHINE, KRAMP, etc,are They STILL KICKIN ASS ??
Recently we had a gig with Infest in Jagodina and it was very well supported by the crowd. Also, there are some young bands that play extreme metal but they are far away from recording the album. The older bands like Sacramental Blood and Defilement are active and they are still kicking ass.
Any Plan Band for Upcoming Soon ??
We are planning to start the recording of the second album by the end of the year and we look forward for some gigs in a meantime.
Thanks for the truly great interview. I really enjoyed it and now have to give my hands a rest from typing!
Thank you for these great questions and we really enjoy it too. Cheers and Sta

Is Ascena Retail Group a Timely Investment?
Among specialty retailers, Ascena looks to be a rising star.
John Del, Vecchio,
(TMFFuz)
Fool Contributor John Del Vecchio is index provider to the Forensic Accounting ETF (FLAG), and co-manager of the Ranger Equity Bear ETF (HDGE). He is the co-author with The Motley Fool's Tom Jacobs of "What's Behind the Numbers? How to Expose Financial Chicanery and Avoid Huge Losses in Your Portfolio.
In this post-recessionary economy, consumers have been forced to control discretionary spending. Among consumer discretionary stocks, many retailers have been laggards in terms of their performance. Specialty retailers such as Ascena Retail Group (Nasdaq: ASNA), as well as Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO), American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO), Chico's (NYSE: CHS), and Fossil (Nasdaq: FOSL), have consequently exhibited poor earnings quality over the past several quarters. While there are many specialty retailers for consideration, I chose these because they are listed in the S&P 400 mid-cap index.
Earnings quality is reflected in the financial statements
The Motley Fool offers two databases -- EQ Scan and EQ Score -- that are used to uncover cash flow and revenue recognition issues. Smart financial officers can use several techniques to manipulate financial results, and manipulation of any of the three financial statements usually affects the other two. But a critical eye on these statements can often uncover trends that could be important for investors to understand before hard-earned money has been lost.
The EQ Score database assigns an index rank to the company from 1 (lowest quality) to 5 (highest quality). As the company's financial status changes over time, the database adjusts its rank and illuminates trends that will affect earnings quality going forward.
How are specialty retailers trending?
Score,
Ascena Retail Group 1 1 3 Up Cash Flow
ANN 3 4 2 Down Revenue
Aeropostale Not Ranked Not Ranked Not Ranked Flat Revenue
American Eagle Outfitters 2 3 1 Down Revenue
Chico's 4 4 1 Down Cash Flow
Foot Locker Not Ranked Not Ranked Not Ranked Flat Revenue
Fossil 1 1 1 Flat Cash Flow
Saks Not Ranked Not Ranked Not Ranked Flat Cash Flow
Source: Fool EQ Score, for the week ending 3/9/12.
As a group, specialty retailers on average have been flat overall, with three trending up, three trending down, and the remaining four showing no trend. The more important question is why.
Ascena, Chico's, Fossil, and Saks all exhibit cash-flow issues. I'll discuss Chico's, Fossil, and Saks further in future commentaries, but let's take a brief look. Chico's year-over-year working capital has decreased 50% on average the past two quarters; its cash conversion cycle (a measure of time to convert sales to cash and back into products) jumped from 23 days to 32 days, or 40%; and free cash flow has been significantly negative the past four quarters. Because factors such as seasonality affect some retailers more than others, we'll also consider this in our analysis.
Fossil is one such retailer whose cash flow is affected by seasonality: FCF is down 48% year over year and has been negative the past three quarters. Days in inventory has grown 31%, and its cash conversion cycle has increased 6% year over year.
Seasonality also affects Saks, a high-end specialty retailer. Revenue grew slightly year over year (7%), but inventory levels increased 8%. Saks' days in inventory is unacceptably high at 114 days, and its cash conversion cycle is 126 days.
Ascena is a leader among S&P 400 specialty retailer stocks
Ascena operates as a specialty retailer of apparel, accessories, footwear, intimates, and lifestyle products for women and tween (i.e., preadolescent) girls in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The company operates its stores under the Dress Barn, maurices, and Justice brand names. The company, formerly known as Dress Barn, changed its name in January 2011. It was founded in 1962 and is based in Suffern, N.Y.
Ascena's Achilles' heel: cash management
Cash management had been holding this stock's score down, but an improvement on that front has breathed new life into Ascena. Year-over-year income-statement metrics have been outstanding on average since 2010, with revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income, and EPS all nicely positive year over year. Balance-sheet metrics are similarly appealing: The company has virtually no accounts receivable or days sales outstanding, because it moves inventory from its own stores and not through other retailers, such as Wal-Mart. One knock is that inventory has grown slightly, and days in inventory has increased from 105 days to 139 days on average. Overall, cash-flow metrics look to be improving. Finally, the company carries no long-term debt.
On March 1, Ascena reported second-quarter revenue of $862.0 million, versus a consensus of $829.9 million, and raised guidance to $2.75-$2.80 from $2.60-$2.70 per share for fiscal 2012, versus a consensus of $2.66. The company plans to open approximately 145 stores and close around 55 in fiscal 2012, ending the year with approximately 2,600 stores in operation.
On March 8, the company announced a 2-for-1 stock split: Shares most recently traded at $44, and the stock has been trending upwards since its low of $25.39 last Nov. 25. The stock has a trailing P/E of 18.37 and a forward P/E of 13.97, well within its demonstrated growth rate.
Retail stocks are getting a lot of attention recently. The jump in February retail sales is an encouraging sign for many big domestic names. Here at the Fool, though, we think the biggest growth will come from outside our borders. We've identified one such stock that we like so much we named it The Motley Fool's Top Stock for 2012. You can uncover this top pick today.

Nottingham Forest told they are playing a dangerous game if they dream of catching Bournemouth
Nottingham Forest fans were discussing the chances of catching Bournemouth as we recorded this week's Garibaldi Red podcast live on Facebook and YouTube

Nottingham Forest have been on an incredible run under Steve Cooper but it would be a step too far to finish second in the Championship.
That was the verdict on this week's Garibaldi Red podcast reviewing Saturday's 4-1 win at Blackpool. The result took Forest to within a point of the play-offs with games in hand on all the teams above them placed from third to sixth.
Forest are 11 points behind second placed Bournemouth with nine games to go. The Cherries have tough run of games coming up as they go to West Brom, Sheffield United and Coventry in their next five games. Their home matches in that period are against Middlesbrough and Fulham. Given those fixtures and Forest's form, some fans have begun to dream of automatic promotion behind leaders Fulham, but BBC Radio Nottingham football presenter David Jackson says the focus should be on getting in the play-offs.

"(Radio Nottingham summariser) Steve Hodge was talking about second a few months ago but I think Bournemouth were having a stumble at that point," he said. "It's gone now I think. Forest don't have games in hand on Bournemouth. I almost don't think you should be aiming for that because as soon as you do, play-offs starts to feel like a secondary thing, but play-offs would be an unbelievable achievement from where Forest were.
"To even have a chance of the play-offs is unbelievable. The problem Forest might have are some of their fixtures. They have Fulham and Bournemouth away.
"I know people have said they might be promoted by then, but a nicely relaxed Fulham on a Tuesday night, that can go wrong. You also don't want to be going to Hull on the last game of the season needing something, even if they would expect to win.
"The points Forest need, they sort of need to get quickly as the last few weeks look tricky. I don't want to see Forest needing seven or eight points from the last three or four games."
Fellow guest, Reds fan Mikey Clarke, echoed that, saying promotion is the goal, no matter how it comes about.
"You can always dream, but realistically, if you had been offered a play-off place after seven games then you would have laughed and then bit the person's hand off," he said.
"I don't think you can get greedy. I remember a Billy Davies team finishing third and feeling a bit down. You don't want any negative feeling. Forest are the form team and on a roll.
"It they finish in the middle of the play-offs then bring that on. There are fans that still think we could finish second. We might be back here in a month three points off with three games to play thinking we could do it.
"If we can, brilliant, but let's be a little realistic. If we get in the play-offs we let's go in there to win them. There's no point otherwise."

Well, let me pose a question that will have you thinking about oil in a whole new light… The next time you're getting ready to cook dinner, would you rather reach for any old oil… or would you rather serve your family an oil that is not only heart-friendly, but is on the cutting-edge of current medical research because its healing potential is just that amazing? It's true. The fact is this: coconut oil and another all natural botanical that has been even more vilified and misunderstood for years – cannabis – are both at the forefront of research into the cure for one of Western civilization's health nightmares … cancer.
Coconut oil—a saturated fat—is chock-full of health-promoting properties and is in no way responsible for high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease and the bad effects generations of Americans have been falsely led to believe. In fact, it's quite the opposite. We're only beginning to uncover the amazing health benefits that earned this superfood the title, "The Cure for All Illness." And you know what else… these health benefits are evidence-based. In addition to the three I listed earlier, there is research to support thatcoconut makes you less hungry… contains ketones that reduce seizures… improves blood cholesterol… burns fat… and boosts brain function in Alzheimer's patients. But these aren't the only reasons that coconut oil is on the forefront of cutting-edge research once again.
Scientists have uncovered the potential for coconut oil to aid cannabis in the fight against cancer!
Like the coconut, humans have cultivated and used the flowering tops of the female cannabis plant — known as marijuana — as a healing herb since the beginning of history. But in modern times the plant has been criminalized, and its organic compounds (cannabinoids) classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. It's absurd that based on this classification, marijuana is seen as more of a threat than heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, anabolic steroids, and prescription pain killers — the rampant abuse of which has become commonplace!
But relieving pain and symptoms is just the tip of the iceberg! Medical marijuana has been shown to slow the onset of Alzheimer's disease and moderate autoimmune disorders including multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. And now researchers are looking at amplifying the healing potential of marijuana by pairing it with coconut oil!
Medical marijuana capsules infused in coconut oil are an alternative way to therapeutically use cannabis without having to inhale it through smoking. Infusing cannabis into coconut oil also allows for easy entry into the liver where it can be rapidly processed. Coconut oil is used because of its high amount of essential fatty acids which makes it a good binding agent for the cannabinoids. Couple this with its amazing health properties and you superpower the combination. Half of the fat in coconut oil is comprised of a fat that is not frequently found in nature, lauric acid. Lauric acid has been called a "miracle" ingredient due to its health promoting capabilities, which is evidenced by its presence in a mother's milk. In fact, it can be found in only three dietary sources—small amounts in butterfat and larger amounts in palm kernel and coconut oil. In the body, lauric acid is converted to monolaurin, which is a potent antiviral, antibacterial and antiprotozoal substance. Because monolaurin is a monoglyceride, it can destroy lipid-coated viruses including measles, influenza, HIV, herpes and a number of pathogenic bacteria. |
Honestly, we have been pretty lucky this winter here in Antarctica! The weather hasn't been THAT horrendous, no matter how much I complain on Twitter! We didn't even get our first real snow until a few weeks ago! Pretty epic if you ask me. No salt stains on any of this seasons boots, which are usually partially destroyed by January no matter how well I take care of them!
I'm soooo all about that hibernation life unless something pretty fabulous convinces me it's ok to brave a flurry and have a snowflake land on my head just to have a social life.
So let's get down to the nitty gritty!
The good news is that they run TWO sleighs!!! So the longest you will wait is 15 minutes since the rides are 30 minutes long! They run a sleigh every 15 minutes leaving from the bookstore. $4 adult $3 kiddos.
Since the sleigh rides are 30 minutes long, you definitely want to dress warm, so don't forget your hats, mittens, scarfs! After 5 minutes you will be thankful you bundled. Even my WNY native hubby was glad I made him pack his winter hat. He definitely ended up wearing the thing since most of the sleigh ride takes place along the lake equaling wind, even on the "warmer" days.
And of course we couldn't go to Chautauqua Institution and have me not play photographer with my new DSLR. After the sleigh ride we hopped in the whip and I snapped a few photos of my favorite spots! The Bell Tower & Athenaeum Hotel. Snow can look so pretty via photo.
Oh how fun and it looks just beautiful there with the snow!! We have yet to see a flake here which is okay but I do miss snow activities - like sleigh rides!
Beautiful pics! Looks like a fun day!
this looks like so much fun! My kids would give anything for some fun in the snow!
It was 71 here yesterday, I'm still frozen... but I'd kind of love to take a slay ride through the snow. But nope.
What a fabulous family activity. Our town sponsored a sleigh ride event last winter but the sleighs had wheel because we don't have snow. It wasn't quite the same as your magical looking sleigh ride.
You guys are the cutest little family! I would LOVE to do something like this with my two, but they would just complain the whole time. Sigh. They are 8 & 11 and too cool for EVERYTHING these days.
I love horse and carriage rides! I went on one two years ago with my husband it was so romantic and sweet. It looks like it's a little colder but it looks like you guys enjoyed yourself in the pictures are great.
This looks like some fabulous winter fun! Now I want to go on a winter sleigh ride in the snow.
Sleigh rides are the best! It's so much fun to watch the scenery go by while being pulled by a big, powerful, and beautiful creature like a horse.
The sleigh rides look awesome! You've made me feel like a complete wuss though. Here in the UK, we complain it's cold and rhe snow hasn't even arrived yet!
I'm with you on hibernating and I'm from downstate NY!!! Of course I probably would have gone out for that sleigh ride also--it looked like so much fun and all the other things you got to see as well as picking up on local gossip!
Oh how cool! I have always wanted to visit Antarctica but have not done so yet.
That looks like so much fun! I bet the hotel is pretty spectacular and lit up for the holidays too!
This is a great way to enjoy the winter! I am hoping that we could have the same experience.
Oh, totally fabulous! I am going to have to see if Greg and Xander want to go. Good thing you went on a fairly "warm" day. Ugh, Western New York winters are awful....at least you found something enjoyable to do!
Your new camera takes phenomenal photos! That sleigh ride looks like unbelievable amounts of fun!
looks like it was such a fun day. and omg--you are the world's most glamorous snow bunny!! :) love it!
This looks like so much fun. The pictures are awesome. You have a beautiful family.
This looks like it was a lot of fun!! Your sweet girl looks like she had a blast!!
How beautiful! We've barely seen any snow this season and I am jealous of everyone that has been posting these beautiful pictures. Everything about your post and family is beautiful. Just beautiful!
Great pictures. The sleigh ride looks super fun.
You guys had a blast! I love all your pictures.
This looks like a fun family outing. Sleig rides sounds so much fun!
Living in Maine, I hear you about #Hibernation2016. LOL...I agree though, this outing would definitely be worth braving the weather. What a fun way to get out and enjoy the outdoors with the family!
Oooo you got a new camera! How fabulous. Looks like a fun day!
This looks like a lot of fun. I bet your family really did enjoy it. I know my daughters would love it. Around Christmas time we went on something similar to this. My girls loved it.
I hibernate in the cold weather as well. This sleigh ride looks like a great way to spend time together. These are great photos.
A 15 minute wait isn't too bad - I think I could stick it out for that amount of time even if it was chilly. Looks like it was a really fun family excursion!
That's not too far from me. Looks like it was a fun time, my kids would love to do something like this.
Sleigh rides are oh so fun. I haven't been on one with my kids yet (it is typically way too cold but this winter Chicago has had insanely little snow) but I hope to before Spring comes. Your family is so adorable!
That looks like a lot of fun. What an adorable family! It's good to enjoy the weather rather than just stay at home all day.
What a fun day--great pics too!
This looks awesome! My son would love a sleigh ride.
How fun is that!? I need to start using #Hibernation2016 ! I hate leaving the house in the winter! Beautiful photos!
I find it so amazing to be able to read a blog of a family from Antarctica!
This looks like it was such an amazing time! I can't get over that little panda hat. It is darling!
This looks like great winter fun! I want to go on a winter sleigh ride in the snow! Need to find one close to us!
Oh wow! This sounds so fun! I would love to do this!!
This looks like so much fun. I wish we had the snow for a real sleigh ride. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
the idea of being pulled on a sled by reindeer is too good to pass up!!
I hear you! I go into hibernation when it gets too cold I am a sunshine kinda gal although looks like you had fun on your sleigh ride!
That looks like so much fun. Wonderful family memories in the making.
Your pics are very beautiful and inspiring! What a fun winter day!!!
That looks like fun. I would love to get some snow. We have gotten some snow but not a lot.
That looks fun. Love that pic with your family. You all looks so sweet.
What a fun place! Looks like you and your family had a blast!
Oh how fun! I love sleigh rides and this looks like such a great family time!
Lovely family you have there, Courtney Lynne! I think the sleigh ride was a wonderful experience and it did not cost that much! Hopefully when it warms up, you'll be able to enjoy your new DSLR.
I'm a hibernator too, but I'd brave the cold for that.. the sleigh ride looks great. It's fun to get out and do something different.
I'm so jealous. I see snow! It is sooo hot here in South Africa. That looks like a real adventure.
Love sleigh rides! This one looks pretty amazing with so many sights to see!
What a wonderful experience. I love these photos it looks so gorgeous. I couldn't imagine it being that cold myself but I do love the snow.
Indeed a fun experience! Enjoy and stay awesome.
That looks like so much fun. I love the snow.
You crack me up! This winter has really been easy compared to others. Although we did get hammered with 15+ inches last weekend here a little south of Pittsburgh. But regardless, a sleigh ride would be so cool and THAT PRICE! What a great deal!
What a fun and magical winter experience! My kids would love it! After all, we sing about riding in a one horse open sleigh, so it seems like the perfect experience!
Oh wow…it seems like your daughter has grown overnight. Her winter attire is so cute. I've always wanted to go on a sleigh ride in the wintertime.
I can see that your family love the cold. Greetings from Florida!
Looks like you had a blast! sleigh rides are always super cool!
Beautiful pictures! I can relate as I live in New Orleans and once it hits 60 degrees, I feel it and usually start making soup. You think I'd have thick skin since I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life up until 2 years ago. Snow is nice to is it but not to live in!
I love sleigh rides! Looks like you had a really nice time and enjoyed the winter weather.
It looks like you had a great time! I would love to take my kids on a sleigh ride, how fun.
Looks like SO much fun. Antarctica? This is a first for me!
This looks like so much fun! I have wanted to take my kids on a sleigh ride for years. We are finally going on one in a couple of weeks. It will be great!
Your family is adorbs! Looks like you all had a great snow day! |

Discorso di Marlon Brando, 30 Marzo 1973, The New York Times
"BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — For 200 years we have said to the Indian people who are fighting for their land, their life, their families and their right to be free: "Lay down your arms, my friends, and then we will remain together. Only if you lay down your arms, my friends, can we then talk of peace and come to an agreement which will be good for you."
When they laid down their arms, we murdered them. We lied to them. We cheated them out of their lands. We starved them into signing fraudulent agreements that we called treaties which we never kept. We turned them into beggars on a continent that gave life for as long as life can remember. And by any interpretation of history, however twisted, we did not do right. We were not lawful nor were we just in what we did. For them, we do not have to restore these people, we do not have to live up to some agreements, because it is given to us by virtue of our power to attack the rights of others, to take their property, to take their lives when they are trying to defend their land and liberty, and to make their virtues a crime and our own vices virtues.
But there is one thing which is beyond the reach of this perversity and that is the tremendous verdict of history. And history will surely judge us. But do we care? What kind of moral schizophrenia is it that allows us to shout at the top of our national voice for all the world to hear that we live up to our commitment when every page of history and when all the thirsty, starving, humiliating days and nights of the last 100 years in the lives of the American Indian contradict that voice?
It would seem that the respect for principle and the love of one's neighbor have become dysfunctional in this country of ours, and that all we have done, all that we have succeeded in accomplishing with our power is simply annihilating the hopes of the newborn countries in this world, as well as friends and enemies alike, that we're not humane, and that we do not live up to our agreements.
Perhaps at this moment you are saying to yourself what the hell has all this got to do with the Academy Awards? Why is this woman standing up here, ruining our evening, invading our lives with things that don't concern us, and that we don't care about? Wasting our time and money and intruding in our homes.
I think the answer to those unspoken questions is that the motion picture community has been as responsible as any for degrading the Indian and making a mockery of his character, describing his as savage, hostile and evil. It's hard enough for children to grow up in this world. When Indian children watch television, and they watch films, and when they see their race depicted as they are in films, their minds become injured in ways we can never know.
Recently there have been a few faltering steps to correct this situation, but too faltering and too few, so I, as a member in this profession, do not feel that I can as a citizen of the United States accept an award here tonight. I think awards in this country at this time are inappropriate to be received or given until the condition of the American Indian is drastically altered. If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
I would have been here tonight to speak to you directly, but I felt that perhaps I could be of better use if I went to Wounded Knee to help forestall in whatever way I can the establishment of a peace which would be dishonorable as long as the rivers shall run and the grass shall grow.
I would hope that those who are listening would not look upon this as a rude intrusion, but as an earnest effort to focus attention on an issue that might very well determine whether or not this country has the right to say from this point forward we believe in the inalienable rights of all people to remain free and independent on lands that have supported their life beyond living memory.
Thank you for your kindness and your courtesy to Miss Littlefeather. Thank you and good night."

There are some considerations consumers make when they are thinking of joining a credit card facility. These considerations include but are not limited to the cost of maintaining the card which translates to the fixed monthly charges, interest charged on the credit facility utilised. Whether or not the card gives the holder access to other trade linked services. And how wide such a network is and just overall customer care standards of service provided by the issuing organization. Here we will have a look at the most popular credit cards in South Africa.
Credit card consumers are looking for the convenience of use and look for a product. Which is mostly in line with their lifestyle and does not prove to be too much of a hindrance in their daily life routines and provide a valuable financial benefit against cost. The major credit cards that have been identified by the consumers to provide the quality they desire have been ranked based on the overall customer experience in using the facility.
Virgin credit cards were ranked highest on overall customer experience, where consumers attested to the quality of service they received from all Virgin staff members. The monthly charges on the card rank lowest at R55 and give the lowest credit interest rates. The card pleasantly opens up the Virgin group of companies' lifestyle products to the holder on a points reward system.
The Gold Credit Card from African Bank was the second best card facility to use predominantly because of its free transaction fees. Low-interest rates and longer interest-free trade periods on credit and lack of a minimum salary requirement. The application process is easy, convenient and promises a higher possibility of acceptance than most cards.
The Nedbank range of credit cards that is including the Classic, Gold and Greenback range were third most popular. And way above Nedbank's banking peers. Consumers love this credit card because Nedbank allows them to transfer credit from one account to another within the Nedbank family. Consumers also love the bank's incredible customer care service.
The Go Banking Credit Card is for the fantastic discounts consumers get for their purchases at all Pick n Pay stores. While the Kulula Credit Card was for the discounts on all Kulula flights to account holders. Though these two credit card facilities offer fewer rewards. They have higher interest and monthly charges. So they are worthwhile by those who make frequent purchases from the two mentioned institutions.
Some of the other best-known credit card facilities in South Africa include Blue Bean Standard Bank credit card facility. American Express licenced by Nedbank. South African Voyager Credit Card issued by South African Airlines. And Barclaycard which in operation for 40 years by ABSA. |

Analysis: Price-coupling fails to pass wind benefits to UK
18 February 2014 by Sara Knight
EUROPE: Strong winds in Germany on 16 February 2014 led to plummeting wholesale electricity spot market prices on the German/French spot electricity exchange, giving just EUR 14.5-17.9/MWh for the German region and EUR 20.0-20.7/MWh for France.
But despite the launch of "price-coupling" on 4 February 2014 for spot trading (for next day delivery) on the wholesale electricity markets in north-west Europe (NWE), the low, wind-related prices had no noticeable impact in the UK. Spot market prices for UK, a high wholesale price region along with Italy and Spain, were still more than three times higher that in Germany, clocking in at EUR 55.8-61.00/MWh that day.
According to the European Power Exchange (Epex Spot), the purpose behind the new price-coupling mechanism is that all electricity transmission interconnectors within and between the NWE countries should be optimally utilised. These countries — Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Austria, UK, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland (via the SwePol Link), and Sweden — account for 75% (more than 2,000TWh) of European electricity consumption.
So if these markets are so closely linked, why are UK wholesale prices still way up the scale and not moving down towards continental prices when the wind is blowing strongly?
Limited capacity
"Whether market prices in two regions converge or diverge through market coupling depends on the physical capacity of the transmission cables between the countries. Once this capacity is fully used there can be no further electricity flows and no further price convergence," explained Jacob Soerensen, head of power trading in central-west Europe at energy trading company Danske Commodities.
The UK currently has only two cables to continental Europe, the 2GW INA (Interconnexion France-Angleterre) to France and the 1GW BritNed to the Netherlands. Even if these were operating around the clock at full capacity, they could only deliver 26TWh, or about 8% of UK annual electricity consumption (of around 318TWh in 2012).
Yet if the UK could makes use of the European continent's lower prices in windy periods, it could make substantial savings. In 2013 alone, the UK netted imports of 10.5TWh via the French link and about 5TWh through the Dutch link. Taking the 10.5TWh imports from France alone, equal to about 3% of UK consumption, and calculating the difference between the average 2013 base load price in France (adding in a transmission fee of EUR 1/MWh) and the UK, the latter saved around EUR 138 million by importing rather than using domestic generation.
The saving in one year alone is equivalent to one quarter of the EUR 600 million investment of the newest operating interconnector, the 1GW BritNed, commissioned March 2011.
But the bottleneck on transmission adds volatility to electricity prices, which appeals to electricity traders and maintains high prices in the UK. This supports incumbent generators and is helping to prop up the UK government case underpinning new nuclear generation with the equivalent of EUR 113/MWh for 35 years (more than two and a half times the average German peak price in 2013 of EUR 42/MWh).
Perhaps this explains why no new interconnectors are likely to be commissioned until 2018 when the 1GW Nemo line to Belgium should become operational. Beyond that, the 1GW IFA 2 system to France and the 1.4GW NSN system to Norway are both to go live in 2020, according to UK transmission system operator National Grid.
But doubts over the new interconnector projects are raised by the UK's plans to support 3.26GW of new nuclear at Hinkley Point for 35 years, commissioning slated for around 2023 at the earliest. The European Commission's remarks on the UK's nuclear intentions, released 31st January 2014 include the fear that new interconnection capacity could be "crowded out" by the two new 1.63GW reactors' operation.

General Information about the Director Election Process
All FHLBanks are required to follow the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as amended (FHLBank Act), and the corresponding Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency) regulations in conducting director elections. The number of independent directors and the number of member directors for each state are determined annually by the Director of the Finance Agency in accordance with the FHLBank Act, which requires an FHLBank's board to comprise at least a majority, but no more than 60 percent, of member directorships and the remainder as independent directorships.
As in years past, for 2023, the Finance Agency Director has set our board at 14 directors: eight member directorships (one in each of Alabama, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia) and six independent directorships (two of which were designated by the Bank's board as public interest directorships). Directors serve four-year terms and the terms of our directors are staggered.
Member directors are required to be officers or directors of one of our current member institutions and are selected through a state-by-state nomination and election process prescribed by the FHLBank Act and Finance Agency regulations. Any member located in the state in which a member directorship is up for election can nominate an officer or director of one of our current member institutions to serve as a member director during the 30-day nomination period. We place all individuals who are properly nominated, qualified (see qualifications above), and who accept their nomination for a member directorship on the voting ballot sent to members in that state. In addition, when voting ballots are sent to members, we also send to each member director nominee information about the institutions entitled to participate in that state's member directorship election, including their contact information. The voting period for each election is at least 30 days.
Independent directors are nominated by our board and elected at large through a process in which ballots are sent to all members in our district. Interested individuals may apply during the 30-day application period. When voting ballots are sent to members, we also send to each independent director nominee information about the institutions entitled to participate in directorship election, including their contact information. The voting period for each election is at least 30 days.
Historically, our board has nominated one individual to be placed on the ballot sent to members for each open independent directorship. It is important for our members to vote for that nominee, even if he/she is the only nominee, due to regulations that require an independent director nominee to receive at least 20% of the outstanding eligible votes to be deemed elected.
A member may cast one vote for each share of required stock for each open directorship, but is limited to the average amount of required stock held by members in its state as of the record date.
If you have questions, please contact Tina Carew, SVP and Corporate Secretary, at 404.888.8549 or [email protected].

Escuela de robinsones (L'École des Robinsons) es una novela escrita por el escritor francés Julio Verne, aparecida por entregas en la Magasin d'Éducation et de Récréation desde el 1 de enero hasta el 1 de diciembre de 1882, y publicada en libro el 9 de noviembre de 1882.
En esta parodia de la célebre novela Robinson Crusoe, Verne recrea con mucho ingenio el tema del náufrago y arregla todo al final de una manera muy sorprendente.
Síntesis
Un joven llamado Godfrey, sobrino de un rico comerciante estadounidense, decide viajar en busca de emociones. Cuál es su sorpresa al verse náufrago en una isla aparentemente virgen donde vivirá multitud de aventuras junto a su profesor de baile y amigo Tartelett. Pasados más de 6 meses en la isla, su existencia se hace insoportable: la isla, inicialmente sin depredadores, se llena de ellos; el fuego de las tormentas destruye su pequeña cabaña en el tronco de un árbol; la comida escasea...

Temas vernianos tratados
Homenajes
Esta es una de las cinco novelas en las que Verne rinde tributo a algún escritor: "Escuela de robinsones" es una parodia de "Robinson Crusoe" (1719), de Daniel Defoe; "Matías Sandorf" es un claro homenaje a "El Conde de Montecristo" (1844), de Alejandro Dumas; "La esfinge de los hielos" es la continuación de "La narración de Arthur Gordon Pym" (1838), de Poe; "Segunda patria" es la continuación de "El Robinson Suizo" (1812), de Wyss; y "Aventuras de un niño irlandés" es un homenaje a Charles Dickens.
Naufragios
"Escuela de Robinsones" es uno más de los "Viajes extraordinarios" que tienen como eje de la historia el naufragio, pero esta es la primera de sus novelas donde se ven las cosas de una manera tragicómica no muy usual para la época. Otras novelas que tienen como tema principal el naufragio son "Los hijos del capitán Grant" (1867), "La isla misteriosa" (1870) y "El "Chancellor"" (1875).
Comedia
A pesar de que Verne siempre añadía personajes cómicos (Paganel, Picaporte, Van Mitten, etc.) que hacían de las suyas en los momentos más excitantes de sus historias y les aportaban unos tintes de comedia, esta es sin duda, de sus novelas, la más decidida a adentrarse en ese género, ya que los tres personajes centrales (Godfrey, Tartenlett y Cerefinotú) añaden una buena dosis de humor a la trama.
Adaptaciones cinematográficas
1981: "Misterio en la isla de los monstruos" ("Mystery on Monster Island"). Coproducción entre Los Estados Unidos y España.
Dir.: Juan Piquer Simon.
Int.: Terence Stamp, Peter Cushing, Ian Sera, David Hatton. Muy alejada del libro y de pésima calidad.

In the spirit of Halloween I decided to try something new to me and previously untested... Would this unknown candy apple be a terrible trick or a tasty treat???
The compound in question was tiletamine, a structural relative of ketamine that's also used in animals as a veterinary anesthetic. The vet brand Telazol is a mixture of tiletamine and zolazepam (benzodiazapine added for to lessen muscle stiffness during surgery).
Tiletamine is not approved for use in humans like ketamine is. Tiletamine is scheduled as a controlled medicine in many countries including the US, however it's not regulated or controlled in my country of residence.
The material I had obtained was a pure tiletamine powder (not the vet brand telazol mix with added benzodiazapine), properly mixed in saline and ph adjusted, then sterilized by passing through a .02 micron syringe filter. 15mg IM was administered. I had not seen any experience reports other than a first hand report from a fellow traveller. The dosage levels were based on animal data and recollections from a friend that I had provided samples to many years back.
I figured it was about 4 times the potency of ketamine. I recalled my friend telling me it was similar to ketamine but with much greater potency as we had predicted and somewhat longer acting. He didn't provide too many details about the experience but did mention that if given the choice he preferred ketamine. He had developed a very large tolerance and habit with ketamine at the time, which i suspect is why he was not able to provide more details and a better qualitative evaluation of the effects.
To sum it up in a nutshell... the stuff is vile !!! it has an undesirable receptor binding profile with poor kinetics if you ask me. The ride up was easy going and interesting, less floaty than K, more solidified and blocky feeling in the body and mind, less psychedelic but definitely disassociating, some similarities with K but very unique, some insights and ideas immerging, the degree of disassociation was similar to a 50mg IM dose of K. During the peak my mind awareness was completely intact, body partially immobile. This part of the trip was interesting and somewhat enjoyable, although not as euphoric as ketamine.
The ride down was where it really became obvious that this compound is far in-superior to ketamine. The recovery phase lasted what seemed like *forever*. My head felt like it had gone through a cheese grater and then placed on a merry go round. Motion sickness, headache, general dysphoric malaise that just kept going and going. The peak/plateau seemed to last for perhaps 1.5 - 2 hours and the recovery/re-entry phase lasted some 4-6 hours or more.
At one point I contemplated aborting by adding more ketamine to launch back into hyperspace while the tiletamine wore off, decided against it however due to the unknown factors involved. Glad I made this decision since I was later to find out just how long acting the tiletamine residual is. I couldn't believe how long the stuff stayed with me.
I feel sorry for the poor apes who get a load of tiletamine! such treatment is nothing short of animal abuse in my opinion. This is one case where a compound has been deemed 'not for human consumption' for good reason. It would be interesting to find out more regarding the history of this drug to determine if human trials and tests were ever performed during its development and evaluation stages. Of course this could be a case of one individual's idiosyncratic negative response, however one trial with Mr T. was all I needed to know.
As far as I'm concerned the tiletamine chapter is closed. |

Dr Miranda Brawn, shares her views on diversity at the bar. She also explains how her hugely successful education, career and diversity charity, The Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Foundation is helping to empower the next generation of leaders across all diversity strands and sectors including law and at the Bar in the UK.
2019 not only marks the 125th anniversary of the Bar Council, but also 100 years since the Sex Disqualification Removal Act. This is an Act which paved the way for women to become lawyers for the first time. It is thanks to this Act, that today, there is a ratio of 50:50 male and female solicitors, a statistic which the City hopes to bolster through supporting initiatives such as the Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Foundation. The Foundation covers all diversity strands and sectors. It has teamed up with numerous organisations to provide for example Hogan Lovells Law Scholarships and work experience at various law firms and law chambers.
The Lord Mayor of London, Mr Peter Estlin, has recently called for the UK's legal sector 'to move into the 21st century' by increasing diversity and equality as part of a major speech at the annual Judges' Dinner to be held at Mansion House, in 2019. The Bar Standards Board (BSB) has published its annual report on diversity at the Bar on 1st February 2019. The report shows that progress was made in 2018 with regard to both diversity at the Bar and to the disclosure rates of barristers providing data. While the diversity of barristers is improving, the report shows that more needs to be done to improve diversity within the profession.
Some of the key findings include:
at 62.0 per cent, men still outnumber women at 37.4 per cent at the practising Bar. The percentage of women at the Bar overall increased by 0.4 per cent during the last year;
the percentage of Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) practising barristers has increased by 0.3 per cent compared to December 2017. 13 per cent of the practising Bar is now BAME;
male QCs still outnumber female QCs, but the percentage of female QCs increased from 14.8 per cent in December 2017 to 15.8 per cent in December 2018. The poor pipeline of female employment silk applications is not due to shyness or lack of ability; it is structural, and based on retention and opportunity. This places responsibility on law firms for their instructions, and chambers for their work allocation.
The percentage of BAME QCs has increased by 0.6 per cent year on year with 7.8% being BAME and 87.9% being white; and
the gender and ethnic diversity of pupil barristers is roughly in line with the population of England and Wales, with 50.4 per cent of pupils being female and 16.3 per cent being BAME.
The data suggests that a disproportionate number of barristers attended a UK independent secondary school between the ages of 11-18. The proportion of barristers who went to independent schools is higher than in the wider population; with 15.5 per cent (including non-respondents) having primarily attended an independent school between 11-18, compared to approximately 7 per cent of school children in England at any age, and 10.0 per cent of UK domiciled young full-time first degree entrants in the UK in 2016/17. Of those that provided information on school attended, around 33 per cent attended an independent school in the UK.
The BSB has a statutory responsibility to monitor and promote equality and diversity both as an employer and as the regulator of barristers in England and Wales. The more accessible the Bar is, the better it is able to represent the society it serves. Equality and diversity should be priorities. The data shows that there was a steady improvement in gender and ethnic diversity at the Bar. However, the upper levels of the legal profession appear to be dominated by white, British males. During 2018 however, more work is required to achieve our end goal.
Diversity within the judiciary is fundamental to a truly democratic and legitimate legal system. It plays a quintessential part in enabling the enforcement of key acts, preventing discrimination and infringements of the rights of the nation's citizens. Only where there is diversity within a body that arbitrate in matters of considerable import will UK society find that its blend of cultures, genders and religions are reasonably and respectfully protected and promoted by the law.
There are many benefits to be derived from much greater judicial diversity. It affords equal opportunities for all aspirational individuals harbouring ambitions within the field of law. It also lends weight and credibility to the decisions and outcomes of judicial reviews. A judiciary comprised of a broader range of backgrounds and experiences will create an improved form of judging. The issue of judicial diversity has attracted increased political attention over the past two decades and various panels have found that there is a strong case for judicial diversity. It reached the view that there should "be equality of opportunity for those eligible to apply" and "in a democratic society the judiciary should reflect the diversity of society and the legal profession as a whole." Judges drawn from a wide range of societal starting points would bring varying perspectives to bear on critical legal issues. It stated that a judiciary which more closely mirrors the everyday world of the people will doubtless inspire more public confidence.
From my personal perspective, diversity has improved over the years especially in comparison to when I had first entered the City of London in the 1990s. However, we need to focus on the speed in order to help increase the numbers for gender, race and other strands such as social mobility, age, LGBTQ+, disability and so on. It was while I was speaking at a gender diversity event in UK Parliament that I had decided to focus on a different approach to help make a change. Thus, I came up with the Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Foundation – with the initial goal to have more ethnic minorities across the UK workforce including at the Bar at senior levels. This has broadened out to include all forms of diversity strands now. When I had launched the Foundation in January 2016, it was initially to help raise the awareness of and act upon the racial diversity gap via one self-funded scholarship. I was receiving thousands of emails from young people asking for mentoring advice and work experience. This led me to have the idea to launch a diversity lecture to help educate, give information and empower our next generation too. There were lots of events and support for diverse employees once they had entered the workforce but not enough for those who were still at school, college and/or university. Hence, the Foundation was born from my idea of innovative scholarships and a diversity lecture which made UK history in 2016 for being the first of its kind. This was hosted by my law school, The University of Law, and they have supported my work from since the very beginning.
My main argument for diversity and equality was that it was a necessity with a strong business case to help increase company profits while providing the extremely important morale and fairness factor. That said, we have to also change the culture of organisations that promote diversity by making them more inclusive in order to keep talented women and minorities. Diversity training is going to be key in order for this to work.
The Miranda Brawn Diversity Leadership Foundation have now helped to impact approximately 50,000 young people with 40 scholarships being awarded this year. The Foundation have helped our next generation of leaders across the UK workforce, including the City of London, to succeed at their education and career choices while helping to close the diversity gap. Our work includes the diversity leadership scholarships (funding, work experience and mentoring), mentoring programmes, educational diversity lectures, networking opportunities (including Inner Temple Annual Garden Party). Our scholarship winners have also met HRH Prince Charles of Wales, HRH Countess Sophie of Wessex and Rt Hon John Bercow MP alongside other top leaders, plus assistance with education and work opportunities.
An example is last year's social mobility scholarship winner who is studying law at the University of Kent and has aspirations to be a Judge. We have arranged for them to have mentors who are a commercial lawyer at a top city law firm and a criminal Queen's Counsel at a top chambers in London. This has provided the scholarship winner with the variety of knowledge in order for them to make informed decisions about their career including work experience at an award winning chambers focused on diversity in London.
We have helped to move the dialogue from gender to ethnic minorities and now we focus on all strands of diversity. There is still time to apply for our law scholarships as the deadline date has been extended until the last day of September 2019. We welcome supporters to join us to help us diversify the Bar and other areas within law.

It doesn't matter if you find a server full of experienced players or are trying to learn the ropes with other folks, it's still a fantastic experience.
The game is set in a medieval world, and has a cartoony look to it that makes it resemble some classic animated TV shows. The basic premise is simple – it's a Capture the Flag game, only in this case instead of a flag you're using a rather overweight princess. Your team is split up in various classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses – players coming from games like Team Fortress 2 may find the idea similar – and some of them need to cater to the princess's needs, while others are tasked with fighting the enemy.
One of the team's common goals is to feed the enemy princess with cakes, which makes her grow fatter – this makes it much more difficult for her team to get her back to their base once you've captured her and started moving her on the way to your own. The gameplay is very intense and varied, and the different classes should keep you entertained for long enough – as soon as you get bored of playing, you can just switch to another class instead of leaving the game.
Graphics and System Requirements
The engine used has been developed for the game specifically, and handles its job quite well – the cartoony, exaggerated art style of the game is presented really nicely, and all the colors are vibrant and contrasting, making it easy to locate the important gameplay objectives, while also giving you enough detail to keep your eyes pleased.
We can't talk about requirements here obviously, and the game's framerates shouldn't be questionable to you either – considering it's only developed for one platform and its derivative, the optimization thrown in is enough to keep it running very smoothly at all times, even during intense battles. On top of all that, the HUD (heads-up display) makes a throwback to the good old days of games like Zelda, and the overall style of the game is reminiscent of those times a well.
If you're playing the game on the PSP, you'll actually get to enjoy several new additions to it, like game modes, levels, and some customization options. This shouldn't mean to you that the PS3 version is lacking though – quite the opposite, both are more or less equal in the overall level of enjoyment they can deliver, it's just that the PSP version came out a bit later and the developers have had a bit more time to throw in some extra content.
It may look like a kids' game, but underneath the bright cartoony looks lies a deep game with solid gameplay that has the potential to become your next favorite if you enjoy online team-based games.
Just a warning to those who are curious on this game: Do NEVER ever spend real money on it, unless you spend time to make sure you know every little intricate detail of the game rules. My story will tell you why: A group of 5 people at work decided to play the game "Ikariam" (also from Gameforge) toge... |
In Ruby, Fixnum refers to integers, e.g. 9, 10, 11, while Float refers to decimals, e.g. 1.75.
Workato supports a variety of number formulas. Formulas in Workato are whitelisted Ruby methods, and therefore not all Ruby methods are supported. You can always reach out to us to add additional formulas to the whitelist. Syntax and functionality for these formulas are generally unchanged. Take note that most formulas will return an error and stop the job if it tries to operate on nulls (expressed as nil in Ruby), except for present?, presence and blank?.
You can refer to the complete Ruby documentation for Fixnum (integers) here as well as the Ruby documentation for Float (decimals) here.
In the cases of arithmetic operations, whether the values are of integer types or decimal (float) types are important. Formulas will alway stick to the types given as input, and the returned result will be of the most precise type.
If integer values are provided, an integer value will be returned.
If float values are provided, a float value will be returned.
If both float and integer values are provided, a float value will be returned, as that is more precise.

Weekend Salary Loan "Better Cash Vip Code". If you land on a site like Jora Credit cash advance, it's because you are searching for a urgent loan. This type of bail me out $500 cash loan is going to come with much interest due in the weeks ahead. Are you prepared to pay back a lot of interest? It really makes you think about the reasons why you are going to be taking out such a loan, right? You can get cash loans for very bad credit by using Better Cash Vip Code, and read reviews.
Searching for Better Cash Vip Code. Up to $1000 Show Income. Straightforward Credit Check. 60 Minutes Authorization Cash. Visit Us Today.
Better Cash Vip Code, By using a JoraCredit advance loan loan, what kind of interest are you able to expect to pay? The interest will vary by lender. In case you have landed on the lender's site, then you will discover easily enough. However, many people see out that they have clicked on a result, simply to be studied to some lender matching site. Now that can make you assume that you're will be completing an application to find the best rate, but that's not really the way it operates.
Actually, you will possibly not also be matched by using a lender. It will be a smart idea to click on a result which takes you to the website of your direct lender. Yet it's a bit tough to tell. One way I've discovered previously in terms of vetting direct lenders is exploring the FAQs. Yet even those can be misleading.
It's preferable to select lender names you understand already. Yet you might be wanting to get a far more in-depth take a look at what loans are available to you. If that's the way it is, you're going to have to do a little digging. You are going to eventually find new direct lender sites, but you should weed through a number of lender matching sites first.
What you are able also do is merely simply ignore listings that you're unclear about. Other internet search engine listings might ring a bell once you find the internet site names. An internet site like JoraCredit.com is likely to become a lender matching site. That doesn't seem like a company name, right? It's only a site which is symbolic of finding a urgent $500 cash loan.
You might want to get hold of $500 cash really urgently, however you don't want to use an unacceptable site. At this time, you may be thinking which a lender matching site may be the best option, but that's since you aren't as informed about them while i am. You will desire to find your own personal direct lender, or you might be sick and tired of the payday advance business as soon as you are doing. |

DNA Of Every Baby Born In California Is Collected And Sold To Companies

haidut Member
USA / Europe
Recently, I posted a news article on the truly Orwellian push for collecting as much DNA data from as many US citizens as possible.
Genetic Testing Companies Sell Your DNA, All Promise Of Privacy Is Bunk
There were some angry comments in that thread that I am being overly alarmist and that there is no evidence companies are abusing or selling the DNA information they collect. Aside from the additional press coverage I posted in that thread that clearly shows companies' specific goals is to package and sell that DNA profile to other companies, this new article below now adds the (state) government as a player in that sick scheme as well. Apparently, in California the neonatal genetic screening test is mandatory and there is no way to opt out of it. Moreover, California is one state that keeps this data indefinitely and sells it to private companies, without much control of what is being done with that data once it gets into the private companies' hands. Finally, when legislation was proposed in California to make the neonatal test opt-in by default there war a furious response from the hospital and insurance lobby to keep it mandatory because those industries were concerned people will "stop supplying DNA data". I have suspected for a long time that hospitals are in on this scam somehow, especially considering the vicious response we faced from hospital legal (not medical) staff when both of our children were born and we refused to submit to the test. Luckily, in DC the test is still voluntary but that may not continue for too long. To make the story worse, as I mentioned in the thread above, there are several federal databases that collect this DNA data and store it indefinitely and also sell it to private corporations. So, even if laws are passed that ban/restrict this practice at the state level, whatever data is in the federal databases up at NIH is there to stay and be used by every insurance company out there, as well as by government agencies developing "predictive" policing software tools based in part on DNA profile. So, the only way to limit this sociopathic practice is to refuse to submit newborn babies to the test. I think there are very few states where the test is mandatory (still) so most new parents should have no problem resisting this thinly veiled DNA-theft campaign.
California Biobank Stores Every Baby's DNA. Who Else Has Access?
DNA of every baby born in California is stored. Who has access to it?
"...You probably know where your Social Security card, birth certificate and other sensitive information is being stored, but what about your genetic material? If you or your child was born in California after 1983, your DNA is likely being stored by the government, may be available to law enforcement and may even be in the hands of outside researchers, CBS San Francisco's Julie Watts reports. Like many states, California collects bio-samples from every child born in the state. The material is then stored indefinitely in a state-run biobank, where it may be purchased for outside research. State law requires that parents are informed of their right to request the child's sample be destroyed, but the state does not confirm parents actually get that information before storing or selling their child's DNA. KPIX has learned that most parents are not getting the required notification. We've also discovered the DNA may be used for more than just research. In light of the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal and the use of unidentified DNA to catch the Golden State Killer suspect, there are new concerns about law enforcement access, and what private researchers could do with access to the DNA from every child born in the state."
"...Some states destroy the blood spots after a year, 12 states store them for at least 21 years. California, however, is one of a handful of states that stores the remaining blood spots for research indefinitely in a state-run biobank. Even though the parents pay for the lifesaving test itself, the child's leftover blood spots become property of the state and may be sold to outside researchers without the parent's knowledge or consent."
"...You do have the right to ask the biobank to destroy the leftovers after the fact, though the agency's website states it "may not be able to comply with your request." You also have the right to find out if your child's blood spots have been used for research, but you would have to know they were being used in the first place and we've discovered that most parents don't."
"...Regulations require that the California Genetic Disease Screening Program to be self-supporting. "It has to pay for itself," Lorey noted. Allowing outside researchers to buy newborn bloodspots helps to recoup costs. According to biobank records, the program sold about 16,000 blood spots over the past five years, totaling a little more than $700,000. By comparison, the program reported $128 million in revenue during the last fiscal year alone, mostly generated by the fees parents pay for the test. Parents are charged around $130 on their hospital bill for the Newborn Screening Test itself."
"...But while the state may not be making money off your child's DNA, Lorey admitted that there is the potential for outside researchers to profit off your child's genetic material. "Do any of those studies result in something that the company can make money from?" reporter Julie Watts asked Lorey in a recent interview. "Could they create a test or treatment that they ultimately profit from?" "Theoretically, yes," Lorey admitted. "I'm not aware of any cases that that's happened because virtually all, not all, of these researchers that have made requests are scientific researchers." He explained that researchers who request the spots must meet specific criteria. Their studies must first be approved by a review board. They're also supposed to return or destroy remaining blood spot samples after use. However, privacy advocates point to the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal where third-party researchers were supposed to destroy data, but instead used it for profit – and untimely to attempt to influence a presidential election."
"...Privacy advocates, like Consumer Watchdog's Jamie Court insist DNA is inherently identifiable. "There is no such thing as de-identified DNA," Court said. "The very nature of DNA is that it identifies you and your genetic code specifically." Court points to the recent case of the Golden State Killer. Investigators used public ancestry sites to identify a murder suspect using decades-old unidentified DNA from a crime scene. And we've learned, researchers aren't the only ones with access to the blood spots."
"...While the newborn screening law was enacted by the state legislature, the authorization to store every child's DNA and sell it to researchers is actually in a separate regulation enacted by the Director of California Department of Public Health. It says that a child's "blood specimen and information," collected during a test paid for by the child's parents, becomes "property of the state." "Any tissue sample that is given in a hospital or any medical facility, once it's given, is no longer your property," Lorey explained. "You can agree with that or disagree with that, but it happens to be the law." In 2015, former California Assemblyman Mike Gatto introduced a law that would have initially made both the test and storage opt-in. It was strongly opposed by the powerful hospital and research lobbies, and after several revisions, it died in the Senate Health Committee."
"...Researchers, on the other hand, oppose letting parents opt in to the storage too because they believe they would get fewer samples if parents had a choice. But, that doesn't seem to be the case in California."
"...Though, for a more permanent fix, lawmakers in Sacramento would need to pass new legislation. We've shared our findings with several state lawmakers on the Assembly Privacy Committee. Many were shocked to learn that the state was storing DNA samples from every baby born in the state and selling them to outside researchers without parents' knowledge or consent. So far, however, none have shown any interest in giving parents the right to opt out of storage before the child is born, or even requiring the state to confirm parents are informed before storing their baby's blood indefinitely."
Now, if all of the above was not already bad enough it turns out the neonatal genetic screening is next to worthless. I had to read this article below and confirm with several doctors before I finally believed my eyes and ears. The genetic screening test is correct on average only 1 out of 50 times there is a positive match! Yes, you read that right. If there is a positive match for specific disease (or more than one) the chance the child really has the disease is only 2%! And of course for some conditions the positive match is even less accurate. In light of this abysmal accuracy, there is no way to conceal or avoid the fact that all of these DANA databases and collection efforts are done exclusively for profit, to aid private industries and some government agency's unilateral wet dream of "total information awareness" (TIA, Total Information Awareness - Wikipedia) based in part on their citizens' DNA.
https://www.today.com/parents/babies-blood-tests-can-end-false-positive-screening-scares-2D80555581
"...Overall, perhaps only one in 50 of every "positive" newborn screening tests detects actual disease, estimates Dr. Philip M. Farrell, a professor of pediatrics and population health sciences at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. But that average can vary widely.
On average, for every 10 positive screening tests for cystic fibrosis, one child will actually have the disease, Farrell said. But for the disorder congenital adrenal hyperplasia — which can cause boys to enter puberty at age 2 or 3 — there are between 100 and 200 false positives for every child truly affected. "In my opinion, it's just tragic that parents have to suffer and think about their child having a chronic illness when the child is perfect healthy," said Audrey Tluczek, an assistant professor and psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Nursing."

Crazy @haidut,
Here is another article like yours above showing California law, that makes it patently clear also suggesting if your family has used 23andme or similar, you yourself are already hacked. Urrrgh :-/
Your genome may have already been hacked
Norman A. ParadisApril 30, 2018 6.39am EDT
What secrets will your DNA give away? Connect world/shutterstock.com
On April 25, California law enforcement announced the possible capture of a long-sought serial killer. Shortly after, it was reported that police had used public DNA databases to determine his identity.
This extraordinary event highlights that when you send off a cheek swab to one of the private genome companies, you may sacrifice not just your own privacy but that of your family and your ancestors.
In a time of widespread anxiety over the misuse of social media, Americans should also be concerned over who has access to their genetic information.
For-profit genome testing companies like 23andMe make money, in part, by selling anonymized genomic data. Many people may not realize that re-identifying genomes – that is, identifying an individual from their genetic profile – is a relatively straightforward process. In one study, researchers could re-identify five of 10 people, as well as their families.
Humans share about 99 percent of their DNA bases with one another. The few differences that exist are often sufficient to figure out who's related to whom.
The genome has been something of a disappointment medically. Physicians generally can't do much with the information that a given patient has, say, a 3 percent greater risk of dementia. But those data are potentially very useful to insurance companies and employers trying lower their risk.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a federal law passed in 2008, prevents insurance companies and employers from forcing people to undergo genetic testing. But it doesn't necessarily prevent bad actors from using dark-web databases and advanced analytics to give themselves a commercial edge.
There have been no reports yet of companies doing this. But we live in an age in which it seems the possible becomes probable on an almost daily basis.
Members of Congress have already tried to remove some of the little genetic privacy protection that already exists. And companies have begun to offer genome sequencing as an employee benefit.
The financial services industry offers a cautionary tale for the customers of the genome industry. Banks are highly regulated and supposed to provide state-of-the-art protection, yet they have been hacked.
Compared to financial institutions, genome companies are lightly regulated. Eventually one or more of them will be hacked or even caught selling "risk profiling" services to third parties.
With respect to police and prosecutors, the situation is somewhat different. In the end, they must submit their work to the courts. It's possible that setting up a fake account on an ancestor DNA website, as the California police reportedly did, constitutes unreasonable search and seizure.
Given the large financial rewards and the behavior of other industries, millions of American families should likely consider their genomic privacy as already compromised. If the genome of one of your relatives is in one of these databases, then essentially so is yours.
In the uncommon circumstance that a whole family has not one member who has yet to send off a cheek swab, that family might want to consider opting out of this whole thing until society sorts out risks, benefits and privacy protections.
Most people, however, will have to wait and hope they will not be harmed by a genomic revolution that has provided them with little benefit.

Awesome find, thanks! I think the above quote needs to be added as a quote on this forum's front page. Maybe @Amazoniac can make it happen?? And the link to the NYT article is even more eye-opening, in case anybody still had doubts about how useless genetic testing for disease really is.

Wow, I guess mainstream media (MSM as Trump calls it) is really in very tight control of popular opinion considering nobody (even people working at federal scientific agencies) that I mentioned this DARPA project to has even heard about it. That probably means everything is working as planned...

The man-dog is unfortunately just another DARPA genetic experiment :)
Hey @haidut,
Check this out - yikes:
A collaborative team of researchers from three major academic medical centers in New York City is showing that emergency contact information, which is included in individuals' electronic health records (EHRs), can be used to generate family trees. Those family trees in turn can be used to study heritability in hundreds of medical conditions.
Sad. I think it is fair to say very little science these days is in service to humanity. Peat may be right when he said the Western world may destroy itself out of stupidity and dangerous pursuits in the name of total control.
Unfortunately it's not from stupidity. The western world and its focus on individual rights and freedoms is antithetical to total control and therefore is to be destroyed by design. China is the future model for the world. Take a look at their social credit reporting scheme to see how easily the State can get the individual to be their own jailer.
Agreed. But I don't think China has a safe grip on its people. Large authoritarian countries tend to collapse rather unexpectedly right when the world thought they are invincible. Historically, no empire has survived, and it seems they all follow the peak-bust model of stock markets, except that there is nobody to bail them out when the crash happens.
The (financial) credit score system in the West has been used for a long time along similar lines. Low credit scores can prevent you from getting a job, residence, membership in organizations, insurance, and even relationship. There are even dating sites, which based most of their matching algorithm around similarity of credit scores of members.
I hope that's true. However historically we have never had such a high level of propaganda/mind control combined with the technology to keep track of dissent as well as encourage conformity. I think it was Huxley who said that in the future we will learn to love our servitude.
here is the quote; keep in mind he was an insider and a leader of the CIAs MK Ultra program
"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution"
― Aldous Huxley
That drug Huxley talks about already exists - the SSRI class. No other drug is known to induce such complete destruction of curiosity, love, wisdom, empathy, and interest in any matter of real importance. An older study from the early 1990s when SSRI drugs were first coming to the market found that people using SSRI have little interest in anything other than bland sitcoms. Not even sports, just sitcoms. Does that sound like people you know or have seen around you?
SSRI Drugs Impair Judgment, Wisdom, Understanding, Love And Empathy
yes very true but that is still a small part of society who takes them. Maybe the SSRIs are there to attack the more recalcitrant slaves and its is the other more mass deployed means to capture the rest of us; fluoride, TV, smartphones, EMFs, GMOs, vaccines, recreational drugs, hate, fear, hedonism etc. Soma is just around the corner.
There is no need to be prescribed SSRI. Everybody who drinks tap water or eats commercial food is exposed to these drugs in doses that are known to produce psychiatric effects.
SSRI Make Organisms Demented, Violent & Homicidal, Even At Low Doses
That's true. They also end up on our food as sewage sludge is the new fertilizer of choice. Let's hope plants can't absorb them.
I wonder if plants can absorb them.
Yes, they can and it negatively affects plant resistance to disease and pests. Same with insects and I suspect the recent issues with bees drying and crops being suboptimal is related to SSRI contamination. Serotonin is universally toxic to all organisms. The anti-dote plants use against serotonin? Salicylic acid (aspirin). It is a hormone in plants and increases resistance to all toxic assaults an stresses. Same seems to be true in humans. Note how all references to serotonin in the media are of the "happiness" hormone. In light of what Huxley said, I highly doubt it is a coincidence. No need to develop Soma, it is already here and has been since the 1990s.
https://phys.org/news/2018-05-lack-happiness-hormone-rice-insects.html
"...Inhibiting the production of the 'happiness' hormone – serotonin – in rice plants, increases their resistance to two of the world's most destructive and costly insect pests, new research has shown.
The study, published this week in Nature Plants, shows that by suppressing the production of serotonin, rice plants become more resistant to their two most serious predators – the brown plant-hopper and the striped stem borer. Using gene editing techniques on rice plants to switch off the serotonin-producing gene, the team found the plants also produced higher levels of salicylic acid – a chemical similar to aspirin. Conversely, adding serotonin to the resistant rice led to a loss in insect resistance."
