Belgian in-game leader Kevin “Ex6tenz” Droolans is on his way out from Team LDLC, he announced earlier today, ending his two year-long tenure with the French team.
LDLC is benching Ex6tenz in favor of Team Envy entry fragger Alexandre “xms” Forte, according to a Flickshot report. Xms, who was recently replaced by FaZe Clan’s Fabiein “kioShiMa” Fiey, will be LDLC’s newest fifth going into Season Seven of the ESL Pro League. The role of in-game leader has apparently been handed to Timothée “DEVIL” Démolon following Ex6tenz’s departure from the active lineup
Related: Ex6tenz joins LDLC
Ex6tenz cited his time on LDLC as “exhausting,” as he had been bearing the weight of the tactically struggling LDLC lineup, which fell short in qualifying for both the PGL Major Offline Qualifier and the ELEAGUE Major: Boston. The last Valve Major tournament that Ex6tenz attended was MLG Columbus 2016, when he was on G2 Esports with his former Titan teammates.
“I absolutely gave all my energy to this project and I can’t hide it was two exhausting years,” Ex6tenz said on Twitter. “I have been demanding with my players and sometimes I have been very tough with some of them, especially with the firsts versions and it created some resentment, but it was for good reasons.”
With this move allegedly going down one day before the ESL Pro League roster lock, Ex6tenz will be without a team prior to the start of Season Seven. LDLC placed 11th twice in the last two seasons of the league, barely avoiding relegation to the ESEA Premier division with the help of Ex6tenz.

Unleavened Bread Bible Study
Hidden Manna For the End Times
Kaile and Doris Hamilton - 12/17/2007
Kaile: On Sunday, November 25th, I traveled back to Indiana to go back to college after my break but to my surprise I had an adventure in store for me when I arrived at the airport. When I arrived at the airport at around 2:30, I got my luggage and went out to my car and after I left the parking lot, I turned down the road to leave the airport and all of a sudden, after driving about a mile or so, I heard a weird sound and then my car started veering off to the right. As I started to pull over I pulled out my cell phone to call my mom for her to pray with me. (Note from David: Kaile's mom, Doris, shares her part of this awesome testimony below.) I had no idea what had just happened and I was planning on just standing on His Word that "no weapon formed against us shall prosper" and that Satan was a liar but not long after I got her on the phone a couple pulled up beside me. They proceeded to ask me if I knew I had a really bad blowout on my right front tire. I said that I didn't know and that I was trying to get a hold of my mom. They then asked if my mom lived close or if I knew anyone nearby that could help me. I told them that my mom was back in Texas and I was about an hour away from my school. They then felt led to pull over to help me with my tire.
The man named Dave said that he would be more than happy to put my spare on for me so he put it on but as soon as he put it on he realized that the spare might be too flat to drive on to the nearest gas station about half a mile away. So he took the spare back off my car and went to fill it up with air. Meanwhile, I got to share my testimony of all the wonderful things God has done in my life and is doing and it was an awesome time of fellowship with them. Then after Dave filled the spare up with air he put it back on my car but it still needed a little more air so they followed me to the gas station and filled my spare with more air. All of this time I kept thanking them for doing all of this for me and they had insisted on paying for the air to be put in the spare which isn't much but I felt like they had already done so much.
During the time that my tire had a blowout and driving out of the airport I had made a wrong turn so after they had helped me with my spare the couple insisted on showing me the way to the highway to get back to my school. I agreed that I would follow them but soon after we had started off to go to the highway we started making turns to go into the city. I still decided to follow them and they led me to a tire shop. Then, they told me that they had been talking and realized that they didn't want me to traveling all the way back to school on my spare so they took me to a tire place to get another tire. So after all was said and done I had a new tire on my car! So I got up to pay for the tire but the couple insisted on paying for the tire too! At this point I was about to start crying because of the love and generosity these people were showing me but all they said was "We would hope that if our children are ever in the same situation one day someone would help them out too". Then, they insisted on me getting their phone number just in case there is ever anything I need. I was in awe of God's hand in this situation!
God is so awesome! I love divine appointments! He sent two angels to help me in my time of need and for that I'm very grateful.
I was sitting at home and received a call from Kaile that she was on the ground in Fort Wayne and she told me that she would call me back. A few minutes later she called and there was a terrible, loud sound in the background. She just asked me to pray with her and then I asked what that sound was and she told me it was her car. I told Kaile to pull over and just at that moment, I heard a man's voice ask, "Did you know you have a blowout?" Then, a woman's voice asked, "Do you know anyone around here?" She said a couple was following her and that they had stopped behind her. (Well, that is when the lying voice started reminding me of all the bad things that happen in this world.) Then Kaile said she would call me back.
I waited for a few moments and when Kaile did not call back; I called her. She said that the man was going to change her tire for her and that she would call me back. I was praising the Lord that someone would help Kaile since she had never changed a tire. More time elapsed and no word; again I called. Kaile told me that she did not have enough air in her spare and that they were going to get some air. I asked with alarm, "Are you with the people?" Kaile replied that she was. She said she would call me back. Well, I knew that we always taught our children not to go with strangers and I was rebuking the spirit of fear.
I kept telling myself that God was watching over her. My heart rate continued at an alarmingly fast pace! So, I decided to call Brother David Eells.
When I spoke with Dave I explained the situation and told him I knew not to fear and that everything was fine and he confirmed that. He told me, "She is fine, but let's pray". He then offered a prayer that asked for protection for Kaile and the most striking thing was that he stated that he thanked the Lord for "those two angels sitting in the car with Kaile, right now"! Well, my heart returned to a normal rate and I thanked Dave for his prayer and praised the Lord for His faithfulness and hung up.
I waited for word from Kaile to hear what had transpired. Once she finally called me back to relate to me the ENTIRE story, I was AMAZED! Indeed, there were TWO ANGELS dispatched to help Kaile! WOW! Those messengers of the Lord made Kaile's day and mine, too!
I just praise our Father for His provision, no matter what the circumstance! And I praise God for Brother Dave; he really helped me with words of encouragement and a fervent, righteous prayer that did availeth much!
Speaking of strangers:
Hebrews 13:2 Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Wireless Networks are very useful, and I can say that from personal experience as a Pocket PC and notebook user. Some time ago one of the leading American Universities, namely Duke University, has decided to build the largest wireless network ever built. Duke plans the wireless technology to cover the area of it is campus which is six million square feet. This will include 2,500 Cisco access points and it will provide wireless coverage in academic halls, libraries, residence halls and other campus buildings. Duke University has a strategy to implementing new technologies that can enhance the quality of campus life, enable new learning spaces and provide easy access to course materials and resources. The Cisco’s 802.11n technology that is being used for this project offers fast speed and high reliability.

If your answer is “not many” or “none,” perhaps it’s time to start thinking about how you can reach your business and personal goals in 2019. Believe it or not, there are plenty of tactics you can use to make your dreams come true.
Here are some of the ways you can change your mindset, get better results and make sure that this time next year, you can proudly say you completed a majority — if not all — of your goals for 2019.
One of the biggest issues people run into when they set goals is thinking about the big picture and how great everything is going to be once they’re done. The problem is that big goals often require multiple steps.
Take some time and think about the smaller steps required to accomplish your 2019 resolutions. If your goal is to have a profitable business website with tens of thousands of unique visitors a month, and you don’t even have a website, you have quite a way to go.
Instead of thinking about the big picture, break it down into smaller, more manageable goals. You could turn your goal of creating a successful business website into a short to-do list:
• Create a website
• Develop a minimum of four new products
• Create a marketing plan
• Establish social media accounts
If you put these smaller goals together, you’re on the path to a profitable website. Even if you don’t become as successful as you’d hoped this year, you’re still one step closer to your goal than if you just make the promise, get overwhelmed and quit.
Deadlines are another way you can get one step closer to achieving your goals. When you set deadlines, you’re measuring out your time and making it easier to track your progress.
When you don’t set deadlines, you put yourself in a state of crunch. Think about the last time you had a workweek when you had to put in 60 hours to get something done. You may have felt stressed, short-tempered and irrational.
Deadlines allow you to establish a flow of progress so you’re not caught at the end rushing through everything you hope to accomplish. If you rush, there’s a good chance that the final outcome will not look at great as you envisioned.
Whether you’re talking about personal or business goals, communicating your desire helps increase the chances of success. When you talk about your personal goals to friends and family, they can give you the support you need to make sure you accomplish them. They’ll know that at certain times, you’re going to be working on your tasks and that you may not be available to them.
In a business setting, talking about your goals is even more important. Your employees need to know your goals for the company. If you set the standards and tell them what you want to achieve, they can work more efficiently and help the company grow and develop in exciting ways.
Sometimes you have to stop and reassess your goals throughout the year. Things change over time. Maybe your company’s email marketing is doing better than you expected, so you don’t have to develop it further yet. On the other hand, maybe you have to reevaluate your social media ads because the ones you put out aren’t working as well as you’d hoped. If that’s the case, stop, reassess your goals and establish new deadlines.
“I’ll start tomorrow” can be one of the worst mindsets to have. When you establish your goals for the year, it’s important to start right away. Start thinking about the things you want and how you’re going to get there. Procrastination can kill ideas. It’s the enemy of success and growth.
Now that you know how to reach your 2019 goals, the only thing left to do is to get started. You can do almost anything you put your mind to if you’re willing to break your big goals into smaller tasks, set deadlines, talk about your goals with others, reassess when the time comes and start now.

Bronx Residents Respond to Weiner's Proposal for Police Reform
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner wants NYPD officers to wear cameras.
He discussed his plans for a pilot program that would require beat cops to wear body cameras this morning at Soundview Park in the Bronx. The 43rd precinct's all-too-familiar with the Stop and Frisk controversy - a 2011 report says it had the borough's second-highest number of stops. Weiner's proposal for the program, which would be implemented first in precincts with high numbers of stops like the 43rd, left community members with mixed feelings.
Shawn Robinson says he's been stopped twice by the NYPD, and claims both times he was doing nothing wrong. He's skeptical about how effective the cameras will be for improving community relations.
"It changes the behavior of the cops, and even though that's what we would like, we know that it's not real. So what happens when you catch me again, and you don't have a camera on?"
As a father of sons who have been mugged at gunpoint near their home, Eddy Martinez says the more cameras on the streets the better, regardless of the reason.
"It will help the community, yes, yes...It's a war zone; it's a war out here."
Anthony Weiner says the cameras would help identify unnecessary stops, as well as help protect cops from false accusations. He says they could be informative tools on the streets, at trials, and during training.

Minden felt the weight of early-season tournament basketball in a 61-53 loss to Parkway on Wednesday night in the Haughton Tournament.
“Tonight’s game we played like we were tired,” Minden head coach Rennie Bailey said. “Parkway was tougher than us.”
The Tide were led by Curtis Carter’s 18 points. Zi Crawford had nine points and Kendrick Crawford added eight.
Minden (5-2) will face Lakeside (1-4) today after the Warriors fell to Byrd 45-37 in the first round of the Haughton Tournament.
“Losing is frustrating, but we haven’t competed in enough quarters to beat many teams,” Lakeside head coach Marlon

DRIVEN BACK ALONG
Germans Resist Desperately At Some Points
But At Others Appi
Up Preparatory tQ Surrender
LONI50N, August 22 (Associated Press) Latinc-liing an offen
sive against a new front, , the Jlntish yeslcjrday struck porth of
the Ancre River along ten milds, driving in the German lines from
the Ancre north to Moycnneville, taking more titan a thousand pris
oners, several towns and villages and some guns. The latent reports
from, British headquarters last night were that the British advance
was still in progress! with no signs that the conclusion of the battle
had been reached.
At some vital points the Germans resisted heavily, but at others
there was no resistance to speak of, the enemy surrendering read
ily at the first approach. .of the British tanks- The town of Beau
court, which had a German garrison of some hundreds, was won
with a total British casualty list of only three men.
PfclSOtfERS CARRY HANDBAGS
Some German prisoners marched into the British lines carrying
handbags and long-stemmed porcelain pipes, having apparently pack
ed up ready to surrender at the first opportunity. These men seem
ed to have cleaned up for the occasion and appeared as cheerful in
being captured asliouh they were going from the front on leave.
A large number of fast "Whippet" tanks were used by the Bri
tish, these exacting heavy toll aldng this front as they did along
the Soniuic, dashing into and through the German defense lines,
crushing out machine gun nests, shelling every German concen
tration with their quick-firers and rounding up and bringing back
prisoners. Armored cars afso took part in the battle, chasing the
Boche from their lairs.
More than a thousand prisoners had been counted and checked
into the cages in the rear when General JIaig last reported yesterday.
DRIVE IS SURPRISE
Without any artillery preparation and led by the fast tanks the
attack was launched at dawn yesterday, at first along a front of
eight and a half miles, which later was extended on the north a mile
and a half further. The drive came as a surprisi? to the Germans,
who had been launching a scries of local offensives against the Bri
tish line just to the north of the new battleground, centering on the
Participating in the offensive is the British third army, com
manded by General Byng. The advance has already penetrated the
German lines deeply and has swept over Beaucourt, Puisieux-au-Munr,
Achietple-Petit; Achict-Ie-Graiid, Ablainzevelle, CourceUcs-le-Comte
'and Moycnneville. The railroad which. had. paralleled the
German front between Achiet-le-Grand and tjoislejix-au-Mont, con
necting this front with the supply points of Bapaume and Croisilles,
is now almost whofly in British hands and the British tanks have
penetrated well along the way towards Bapaume, once before the
British objective on the Picardy front.
ADVANCE IS STILL ON
Along the whole front sin average advance of five miles has been
made, with the British pressing steadily. Whenever the British
infantry are held up by German machine gun fire the tanks are called
upon. There arc large numbers of these, all along the front, and
( icmiiyi resistance to them' appears to be hopeless.
In Flanders the British continue to drive the Germans back
along the edges of the Lys salient. Yesterday the Tommies attack
ed and carried all the outpost positions of the enemy on the Dranmt
tre ridge between Kouderkot and Locrc-Hospice, southwest of
. pres. These appear to be preliminary operations for an attack
upon the Germans holding the famous Mount Kemmel positions.

The Kinematics of Giant Submarine Landslides:
Interest in giant submarine landslides has increased in recent years because of several multibillion-dollar development projects planned long unstable continental margins. Notable amongst these is the Ormen Lange Field development, offshore Norway, located in the scar of the supergiant Storegga Slide (volume c. 3,500 km3), which failed catastrophically some 8,200 years ago, leaving a record of a tsunami across Norway and northeastern Scotland. A major unresolved question with these large-scale landslides on continental slopes is the trigger mechanism. One approach to tackling this problem is to analyze the kinematics in detail, now possible through 3D seismic methods. This presentation discusses this approach, presents examples from offshore Israel and Norway, and opens a discussion as to whether these giant slides move in one massive event (quickstep), or have a more protracted evolution (waltz).
Critical to this discussion is the relatively recent identification of impressive toe-thrust domains associated with some giant slides. These consist of an arcuate series of thrusts, ramping up from a basal shear surface cutting across slope sections up to 600 m thick. Displacement on individual thrusts is up to 200 m, and they can be 20 to 30 km long along strike. It is argued that these contractional systems form in a downslope propagating sequence owing to buttressing of the slide mass against the undeformed slope. It is concluded that slides with buttressed toes (confined slides) behave differently than unconfined slides, which are free to run out and over the toe region, and disaggregate to form debris flows. The different modes of behavior are attributed to a critical limit for the depth to detachment. Recognition of these two end members is essential for correct volumetric balancing of slides and ultimately for any assessment of tsunamigenic risk.

Northfleet bus passenger told to take the high road as Scottish banknote gets rebuffed on Arriva service to Stone
Yesterday's Gravesend Messenger Newspaper had this story which I thought had an amusing twist especially as only the Bus Driver it seems had an understanding of English Law!
Actually, according to the Bank of England, Scottish banknotes are NOT legal tender in England. English banknotes issued by the Bank Of England are the ONLY legal tender in England and Wales.
Here is what the Bank Of England website has to say:-
Are Scottish & Northern Ireland notes "legal tender"?
In short ‘No’ these notes are not "legal tender"; furthermore, Bank of England notes are only legal tender in England and Wales. Legal tender has, however, a very narrow technical meaning in relation to the settlement of debt. If a debtor pays in legal tender the exact amount he/she owes under the terms of a contract (and in accordance with its terms), or pays this amount into court, he/she has good defence in law if he/she is sued for non-payment of the debt.
In ordinary everyday transactions, the term "legal tender" in its purest sense need not govern a note's acceptability in transactions. The acceptability of a Scottish or Northern Ireland note as a means of payment is essentially a matter for agreement between the parties involved. If both parties are in agreement, Scottish and Northern Ireland notes can be used in England and Wales. Holders of genuine Scottish and Northern Ireland notes are provided with a level of protection similar to that provided to holders of Bank of England notes. This is because the issuing banks must back their note issue using a combination of Bank of England notes, UK coin and funds in an interest bearing bank account at the Bank of England. More information on these arrangements can be found at
Here is the link to this item on the Bank of England website >>> http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/about/faqs.aspx#16
Now here is that report from Kent:-
Northfleet bus passenger told to take the high road as Scottish banknote gets rebuffed on Arriva service to StoneHeard the one about the Englishman, the Welsh pub and a Scottish fiver?
Well, it was no joke for Graham Sales when his note was rejected by a bus driver as he tried to board outside the Welsh Tavern in Stone.
The taxi driver was attempting to get home to Northfleet after dropping his car off for repairs at St Johns Road Garage.
Taxi driver Graham Sales with his Scottish £5 note
He hopped aboard and handed over the £5 Scottish note, only to be told by the driver she would not accept it.
The 47-year-old said: "The bus driver said she knew it was legal tender, but couldn't accept it.
"She said 'I'm not moving' and I said 'well, I'm not going anywhere'."
The father-of-two said the driver turned the engine off and phoned the depot.
Bosses agreed to her issuing a ticket for £2 rather than the fare of about £3.50 as that was all he had in change.
"I felt disgusted and embarrassed. If I hadn't had any change on me, it would have been a five-mile walk and taken me hours..." - bus passenger Graham Sales
He said: "I felt disgusted and embarrassed. If I hadn't had any change on me, it would have been a five-mile walk and taken me hours.
"I showed I was willing to pay and she took all my remaining change. It was all the money I had on me.
"It is legal tender and I am a taxi driver and I have to take it."
Once Mr Sales got off the bus, he spoke to a senior member of staff at the depot who confirmed the ticket machine did not have the facilities to recognise the currency - but agreed the bus driver should have accepted it.
Mr Sales now plans to make the bus journey back to Stone to collect his car and will be using the £5 note as a point of principle.
Arriva spokesman Linsey Frostick apologised, saying: "We do accept Scottish banknotes and on this occasion the driver was mistaken.
"The details have been passed to the depot manager so the driver can be made aware of their mistake."
Here is the link to the story >>> http://www.kentonline.co.uk/gravesend_messenger/news/passenger-told-to-take-the-8157/
As Wikipedia reminds us (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arriva) Arriva is a multinational public transport company headquartered in Sunderland, and (is) a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. The latter is Deutsche Bahn AG is the German railway company, a private joint-stock company (AG) with the Federal Republic of Germany being its majority shareholder with its headquarters in Berlin. It came into existence in 1994 as the successor to the former state railways of Germany, the Deutsche Bundesbahn of West Germany and the Deutsche Reichsbahn of East Germany.
Is it any wonder that England is in a mess when even our bus companies are indirectly owned by foreign states?

The transmission characteristics of a Raman-amplified atomic filter that can be used to detect fairly weak signals in free-space quantum-key distribution or laser communications are analyzed and discussed in the coherent and incoherent pump fields respectively. The theoretical model for the calculation of the transmission characteristics of a ground-state Raman-amplified Faraday dispersion atomic optical filter based on Raman gain and Faraday rotation is presented. The results show that the filter in a coherent pump field can achieve higher transmission and larger tunability than that in an incoherent pump field due to elimination of pumping detuning. In addition, the filter has a large scale tunability over 3.5 GHz via the Faraday transmission peak adjusted while its bandwidth is only 66 MHz, which is useful for free-space laser communication and lidar systems.

Through our ongoing Vision2040 Master Plan process, we are committed to receiving feedback from the public – both at our public meetings and via our website.
Recently, we received questions and comments around the “why and how” of the master planning process, and inquiries related to future land development.
We’ve provided answers for these issues below,and look forward to more ongoing dialogue with you as the master plan process continues.
Please make sure to share your feedback and questions with us.
We also look forward to seeing and hearing from you at our public workshops this week:
Wake County: Wednesday, June 1, 6-8 p.m.
Wake County Commons Building
4011 Carya Dr., Raleigh, NC 27610
Durham County: Thursday, June 2, 6-8 p.m.
220 Foster St., Durham, NC 27701
What’s included in the Master Plan?
The master plan study will help chart RDU’s future over the next 25 years. The plan evaluates infrastructure, facilities and future development needs to support anticipated growth. These needs include things around airfield, terminal, landside and support services. We anticipate the planning process to be complete in December 2016.
Think of the master plan as a high level view of planning RDU’s future. The amenities we provide at the airport like WiFi, our shops and restaurants, seating are not part of the master plan process. However, we want to hear your thoughts and feedback via our customer service portal so that we can continually improve these for you.
Will RDU be developing land as part of the plan?
As part of Vision 2040, we will assess the airport’s infrastructure, facilities and future development needs, including possible land development. These assessments will allow us to define a financially feasible capital improvement and asset management program that will take us through 2040.
We’re planning a public workshop on land use for Tuesday, June 28. We’ll be sharing more information on that session in the near future.

Nov. 4, 1977: Sixers coach fired six games into season after making NBA Finals. Replacement never coached before
For the first time in nine years, the 76ers made the NBA Finals in the 1976-77 season. They blew a 2-0 series lead and fell to the Bill Walton-led Portland Trail Blazers (coached by former Sixers coach Jack Ramsay) in the championship round, but the future looked bright.
Led by superstars Julius (Dr. J) Erving, George McGinniss and Doug Collins, the Sixers were so deep, they were able to trade their 12th player, rookie Terry Furlow, for TWO No. 1 draft picks at the end of the season.
Coach Gene Shue had taken over the Sixers following the disastrous 9-73 season and built them (with the help of the shrewd trades of GM Pat Williams and smart drafting by assistant coach/head scout Jack McMahon) into an NBA powerhouse.
However, the owner who hired Shue, Irv Kosloff, had sold the team the previous year to F. Eugene Dixon, a patrician Main Line tycoon.
He had been talked into spending a large sum of money to get Erving the year before, with the hope of winning the title. He had not been happy that Shue could not figure out a way to stop the backslide against Portland.
And Dixon and Shue simply did not like each other. Dixon had let it slip he was thinking of giving Shue the boot a few days before the ax came.
Shue had to deal with the owner and a lot of big egos in the locker room. If anything, the Sixers might have had too much talent, as there were a lot of alpha dogs on the roster.
Sam Goldaper of the New York Times put it at the time:
"“Gene Shue was dismissed yesterday as the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, a team sometimes described as “the boys of turmoil.” In the second season of a four‐year contract, Shue was replaced by Billy Cunningham, one of the greatest players in 76er history. Cunningham took over the team of exaggerated egos, inflamed temperaments, discontent and divisive words….”"
When the Sixers began the 1977-78 season with a 2-4 start, Dixon fired Shue. According to the Bleacher Report, at the time Shue was the fourth-winningest coach in NBA history.
Equally shocking was Shue’s replacement: Billy Cunningham.
Cunningham was a legendary player for the 76ers. He had been part of the 1967 title team and returned in 1974 after spending two seasons with the ABA’s Carolina Cougars.
He played for Shue until a serious knee injury ended his career 20 games into the 1975-76 season. As a player, ‘The Kangaroo Kid’ would be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986.
Cunningham had moved into the broadcast booth upon retirement and was doing the NBA on CBS broadcasts with Brent Musburger.
Cunningham accepted the challenge of taking over the team. He just had one mark against him.
He had never coached a meaningful game of basketball in his life, and he was suddenly put in charge of a team in which anything less than an NBA championship, would be considered a failure.
Shue’s main assistant, Jack McMahon, was retained but also did a lot of college scouting.
Cunningham hired a local college coach, Chuck Daly, to be an assistant. Daly was a sparkling 125-34 at Penn but had zero NBA experience. Of course Daly would eventually adapt quite well to the NBA game as he would go on to coach the ‘Bad Boy’ Detroit Pistons to two NBA championships and the ‘Dream Team’ to the 1992 Olympic Gold Medal.
As it turned out, Cunningham was a heck of a coach. The players responded to what for many was an ex-teammate.
With help from Daly and McMahon, the 76ers that year won 55 games, five more than Shue’s Sixers team the year before. With ‘Sixth Man’ Lloyd (later World B.) Free hurt, the Sixers fell to the Washington Bullets, in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Cunningham eventually got the Sixers an NBA championship in 1983 and retired from the bench in 1985 on his own terms.
Bleacher Report ranked Shue’s ousting as one of the most controversial in-season firings in NBA history.
What makes this a crazy, bizarre incident is not just a coach coming off an NBA Finals appearance getting bounced after six games, but being replaced by someone who had never coached a game in his life (so don’t bring up Mike Brown and the Lakers).

The first of my many “Life in Japan” posts will be about one of the things closest to my heart; my stomach. Well, at least it will cover what I have been putting into my stomach lately. I know that many of you are curious about what food in Japan is like and I’d like to dispel some myths and also provide some insight into my daily food routines here.
When I say, “I live in Japan”, peoples’ minds tend to jump to sushi. This isn’t wrong by any stretch of the imagination but to say that Japanese people only eat sushi or eat sushi all the time is a far cry from the truth. Japanese people do eat a lot of seafood but often it is in fact cooked. A fairly typical Japanese breakfast might be rice, broiled fish, a rolled omelet, and miso soup. Lunch ranges greatly but in my experience, the Japanese seem to have a deep love for anything fried. Their equally as powerful will to control portion sizes sometimes appears to be the only thing stopping the Japanese from balancing the scales with the fat Americans.
There are definitely some minor food-related gripes I have when it comes to home-cooking in my small apartment. Firstly, certain ingredients are extremely hard to find or too expensive to contemplate buying. Major items that tend to be lacking from grocery stores include but are not limited to peanut butter, lamb, turkey, blocks of cheese, unsweetened juice, and bread (other than white bread). If anywhere has these items it’s going to be Costco, and even then they tend to be pricey.
The biggest limitation I find I have is my kitchen. The appliances in Japan are generally smaller and I do not actually have an oven by North American standards. I am lucky enough to have a convection oven/microwave combo but even then, the dishware that fits into the oven is large enough to cook maybe two fillets of salmon at a time. Generally when I am cooking for myself it is not an issue, but cooking for many people is a major pain and cooking something like a turkey for Thanksgiving would be impossible.
Now for a walk through my daily food.
I’ve been very slow to adopt Japanese breakfast habits because I simply can’t be bothered to prepare rice the night before for my breakfast. Every morning I wake up and have one of two things for breakfast. If I have been to Costco recently, I will have a toasted bagel with margarine or melted cheese. Otherwise, I’ll have a fried egg on a piece of white toast. That’s all rather boring but for lunch I have a much greater selection.
For lunches, I eat at the school cafeteria for 90% of my days at school. It’s incredibly cheap to eat there and the food is generally pretty decent for what you pay. They are also kind enough to open an hour and a half before lunchtime so teachers on spare can eat before the students come. There are many options available but the main selling point is the set lunch that changes daily.
For 350 yen (about 4.15 CAD with the low dollar) I get hot tea, miso soup, a bowl of rice as big as I want, unlimited pickles, and a main plate. The main plate is normally some sort of protein with a couple sides (often cold pasta and a cabbage salad). Sometimes if I am lucky, there will be two mains on offer that day to choose from. Other Japanese staples such as curry rice, ramen, 4 kinds of udon, and karaage are on offer every day if the set lunch does not suit your tastes. I’m generally really satisfied with my lunch options as I’ve heard horror stories from friends teaching English in other parts of Japan who are given the likes of pregnant fish and moldy potatoes for lunch. I’ve actually been preparing this post for some time so I’ve gathered many pictures of the set lunch to share with you.
Generally speaking, my dinners consist of frying pan-based meals with the odd baked protein. I also eat a fair amount of rice as it is cheap and easy to make. When I am feeling lazy or cheap, I’ll make a giant pot of curry with rice to eat over 3-4 days. Other meals I make include fried rice, stir-fries, hot pots, tuna steaks, and baked salmon. These are all relatively easy for me to do with a single pot, single pan, and single element.
This is the first of my daily life posts and I hope you enjoyed it because there will be many more coming! Thanks for reading.

Bishop Javier Echevarría, Prelate of Opus Dei: “I give thanks to God often on seeing how the women of Opus Dei work in every sector of society: running corporations and hospitals, working in fields and in factories, holding university chairs and teaching in schools; they are judges, politicians, journalists, artists; others dedicate themselves exclusively, and with equal passion and professionalism, to the work of the home. Each one follows her own path, conscious of her dignity, proud of being a woman and earning the respect of all, day after day.” From an interview published in El Mercurio (Chile), January 21, 1996.
Prof. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese: “Opus Dei has an enviable record of educating the poor and supporting women, whether single or married, in any occupation they choose. In the end, Opus Dei exists to bring dignity and respect, sanctity and purpose, to the work – in all its guises from the humblest to the most prestigious – upon which our world depends.” From a statement given January 3, 2004.
Ms. Maria Valdeavellano: “Women play a role in the government of Opus Dei at every level – local, national, and international – including the election of the Prelate.” From a statement given January 14, 2004. Valdeavellano is the Regional Delegate for the Prelature of Opus Dei in the United States.
St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei: “I see no reason why one should make any distinction or discrimination with respect to women, when speaking of the laity and its apostolic task, its rights and duties. All the baptized, men and women alike, share equally in the dignity, freedom and responsibility of the children of God…. For many reasons, including some derived from positive law, I consider that the distinction between men and women with respect to the juridical capacity for receiving Holy Orders should be retained. But in all other spheres I think the Church should recognize fully in her legislation, internal life and apostolic action exactly the same rights and duties for women as for men.” From an interview published in Palabra Spain, October 1967, and republished in Conversations with Josemaría Escrivá, Scepter Publishers, 2002.
St. Josemaría Escrivá: “The presence of women in the whole range of social life is a logical and entirely positive phenomenon, part of the broader phenomenon to which I referred earlier. A modern democratic society has to recognize women's right to take an active part in political life and it has to create conditions favorable for everyone who wants to exercise this right.” From an interview published in Telva (Spain), October 1967, and republished in Conversations with Josemaría Escrivá, Scepter Publishers, 2002.

Hi Paul, today’s tip along with others on the subject of the down swing are really helpful to guys like me who played a lot of baseball, but no golf until 18 or so. Starting the downswing with the arms is a tough habit to break and initiating things with the hip turn is both unnatural and physically difficult for we older less flexible fellows. Holding the club in the hitting position with the hips turned 45 degrees is mentally helpful, but getting to that position from the top is easier said than done. At least I finally understand why so many well struct shots go 10 to 20 degrees to the left and why I look like I’m addressing the ball when hitting it. Little or no hip turn. Knowing a major fault is a good step in the right direction.
September 20, 2013
I love it when people have a baseball background. It is mind boggling to me when people say the baseball swing is nothing like golf.
I guarantee when you hit a baseball you turned your hips. If so, you need to incorporate this very same movement into your golf swing. Watching your ball tells you if you are doing it right or not.
In your case I would be doing tons of swings off the ground. Think about your baseball movement then gradually lower the club. See golf as having to hit a baseball over center field every time. To do this you need to base it on torque (coiling and uncoiling). Without having to look at the pitcher as in baseball you can get this coil in golf. Hope you see it.

Paul, I’m having trouble keeping my upper body behind the hip turn. It’s almost as though the hips/legs are pulling my upper body “off” the ball. This is causing me to come out of the stance. How do I correct this?
This is how I got it many years ago. Simple:
Watch Back of The Golf Ball: https://ignitiongolf.com/watch-backside-golf-ball/
I’m a CPA. Therefore, my world is basically numbers. I have been following your tips for 8 or 9 months now. I do not play or practice very often due to lack of free time, but do practice the swing. My original goals were to cut my handicap in half – from 15 to 7.5 – and shoot my age some day. At 67 that is a pretty lofty goal, but I believe that if I continue to improve, by the time I turn 70, it will be doable, especially from the senior tees. I thought the handicap would spike upwards at first, but it did not. My last four rounds have been 85, 83, 83, and 82. This followed five rounds where my average score was 97. My swing is still not close to where it needs to be so I am excited about the future. I have heard you speak of “good” players. For a numbers junky like me, at what handicap does one fit your definition of “good”? I realize that there is more to being “good” than the handicap number, but it is the only tangible measure we have.
First, in saying you do not have time to play or practice I hope you are doing practice swings at home. This is one of the reasons I tell people do practice this way. Do 25-50 per night. If you can do more do so. Everyone has time for this. The hard part is getting people off the couch to go do them. Small price to pay for a great swing. So make sure you have 5-10 mins. to work on your game every night. This is what it is going to take to get you into the 70’s.
Next, you have had a few good rounds. Be very careful that you do not start trying to hit the ball too hard. If start hitting it thin, topping or slicing it you are using the arms. Immediately slow down, swing easier and keep the arms relaxed.
Good players to me would be a low single digit player. I would say a 4 hdcp or better. To get to this level requires the right fundamentals.
September 19, 2013
Thanks again for your insight. To me being real loose helps me make the powerless arms work. Now i noticed that my arms can be powerless but the swing can still be driven by my upper body. This results in a hit to the right. Im working down to the hips but it is tough to turn everything else off
Powerless arms means you are not hitting or helping it in any way with your arms. If you are using the upper body to hit the ball you would be hitting it left unless the face was severely open. I highly doubt you are doing this so I think you are disconnecting by getting your body too far ahead of the club which is causing it to be open through impact. If the face is ever open you need to manually roll the face over (feeling your arms) to get the clubface squaring. Once you get the spin fixed you then focus on the body rotation to straighten it out.

Thank you for your response. It will help me get back on track. I will
do considerably more practice swings. I believe that I have a fear of
failure. But now I have new inspiration because I have a new goal – to
get my handicap to three point something. It would make me very
proud to get to a level where Paul Wilson considers me a “better”
player. Maybe someday you will tell people of the nearly 70
year old that you took from a 15 to a three in a year and a half.
I am going into the yard to practice my swing now.
Thank you so much.
September 22, 2013
It can be done. Just stick to the plan. You are going to build a great looking golf swing (like a pro). The more you look like a pro the more you have the right fundamentals.
July 22, 2018
After an encouraging start, I’ve hit a bit of an impasse. On the range, the body was working quite well. I take it to the course and disaster. I couldn’t hit my hat. My main issue is the feeling of not having enough time to get to impact and my hands take over and its back to the old swing. I would say on the range I’m pretty straight and the powerless arms are working maybe 30-40% of the time. Tonight I hit over 200 balls with no improvement. I sense there is one move I haven’t got yet. How do I get the feeling of getting more time at impact, instead of rushing the hands in at the last moment? I’m sticking with it, as I love your teaching programme. just a bit frustrated at the moment.
July 23, 2018
This is you going out there are trying to hit the ball as hard as you can and trying to play great golf. This is NOT how I want you taking it to the course.
You need to watch this tip:
Definitive Tip For Taking Your New Swing To The Course: https://ignitiongolf.com/taking-new-swing-to-the-course/
Also, hitting 200 balls is you hitting ball after ball which is not what I want you to do either. You need to build the swing. You pikc a position or two. You can find them here: https://ignitiongolf.com/start-here/
You hit 1 ball and do 3 practice swings trying to do the positions perfectly. You hold it and check it. If you want to hit a few in a row you hit few balls then back up and do 3 times as many perfect practice swings. It is all about the movement and you mastering the positions. If so you build a great swing. A great swing hits great shots.
So see it differently. Every move from now on counts. Forget the ball. You need to ask yourself “did I do the position I was trying to do” not “did I hit a great shot.”
You need to watch this tip too:
It Is Luck: https://ignitiongolf.com/bad-swings-luck/
You can do it.
FYI – slowing down would give you more time.

I need to work on my Capstone project for Emergency Operations Plan for a Hospital. you should cover all the parts of the project and write well, organize ppt. Please use the document that I will attach if I accept your invitation.
– use APA6 style
– in every slide, use notes below to help me out when I present the slide.
– create 30 – 35 slides “not included the introduction, references slide”
The professor Instruction:
Slides should have no more than 4-6 lines of text per slide, and 1-3 ideas per slide max. Text should be in bullet format, not paragraph/prose format. Information should be conveyed in a concise but comprehensible manner. Do not write too much, as this creates a crowded slide which is visually overwhelming. Your meaning will get lost in the slide and your audience will lose interest. Do not write too little as this makes it difficult to understand your intended meaning. You may receive a lower grade because it will not be clear that you understood the concepts. Use photos and diagrams thoughtfully to supplement and advance your presentations, not just as meaningless filler.
The presentation should have a title slide, an objective slide and one or more reference slides. The title slide should contain the title of your presentation, your full name, and the date. The objectives slide should outline the main bullet points that your presentation will cover. These should be analogous to lessons you expect your intended target audience to learn from your presentations. Your target audience has a basic disaster management background equivalent to your own. You do not need to include background material in your presentation.
The number of slides will be assigned for each presentation. The student may go above that number by 2-3 slides but may not go below the assigned number. The assigned number of slides does NOT INCLUDE the title, objectives or reference slides. It also will not include slides with pictures or diagrams unless those slides substantively advance the presentation. This means that if this were a live presentation you would spend at least one minute discussing that picture/diagram. If you use photos or other multimedia in your presentation and it is not your own work (i.e., you took it from the internet) you MUST reference it on the slide (as opposed to the references slide at the end.

A friend was playing around with the menu settings of my Nikon D7100 not long ago, and asked me, “Now, why would you have it set to sRGB?”
sRGB, for those of you who don’t know, is a color space, which is a way various devices, from cameras to computers to printers to the internet, describe color to each other.
I told my friend that I picked it because I felt it would be more compatible with different devices and operating systems, but the truth, of course, is that color space, for almost all of us, is irrelevant.
You can search for a color space chart on the internet. It is a chart with some numbers on it. Like a lot of the world of cameras and other fetish properties, it is a good way to distract yourself from actually taking pictures.
I’m not saying there is no reason to select one color space or another. I am saying that almost no one except the highest level professional, studio, huge-agency photographers, who need to be able to manage the minutia of color at every step of the process, every day, for high-dollar clients, needs to worry about color space at all. sRGB contains all the color information you and I will ever need.
If you’re a computer geek and think you can prove me wrong with numbers, I can prove you wrong with a spectacular portfolio, online, published, and printed.
If you are worried about color space, you’re not taking enough pictures. The only color that really matters is what you see in the world. Perception of color is human and organic, and isn’t about numbers or charts; it is about vision.

The end of the year finds me reshuffling all the papers scattered around the office that have been piling up for the past few months, in search of overlooked treasures worthy of popular discourse. In my clearing away of clutter, I've found a few kernels of interest, a mixtape or two, a handful of outdated press releases, a stack of yellowing Chronicles, an SF Bay Guardian with something about PG & E on the cover and a few Vanity Fair issues that I meant to read had I not been too caught up in my own vanity affairs.
While I have this time to reflect I would like to thank those jokers behind last Tuesday’s Root Music Launch Party that got half of my entourage so ill with cheap complimentary libations that we had to jet and missed what I heard was a killer performance by Hiero-heavyweights Del, A Plus, and Opio. Before I get even more fired up over this matter I will digress and present to you an hors du oeuvres platter of various intrigues in no particular order.
I feel like I’m the last one in the know about this but here’s a download of the latest Lil B mixtape, Red Flame. Still digging his album Rain in England released earlier this year, but this mix has him claiming to have Bill Clinton level O.G. status, as he brags about his promiscuity (on the mixtape cut “Bitch I’m Bill Clinton”). There are also shout outs to Hugh Heffner and Miley Cyrus as B pokes fun at celebrity icons while simultaneously embracing the music press machine bastions of the Fader and P4k.
In other holiday related news, Deer Tick has put out a digital Christmas single called Holy S**t it’s Christmas on iTunes, and free on the Partisan Records site with purchase of anything related to Deer Tick. Take a listen to the track “Christmas All Summer Long” that has a garage roaring sound reminiscent of their summer release The Black Dirt Sessions that will melt the snow and/or sleet on your front porch that has been your recent excuse for hibernating indoors. On December 20 John McCauley of Deer Tick is also set to play a stripped down benefit show at the Troubadour in LA before returning to the east coast.
Aussie rockers Tame Impala recently put out an album called Innerspeaker and just released a music video this week for their single “Expectation.” The video has the wide angle lens-eternal camera pan thing happening with the band playing in a forest setting. I first heard of these blokes through a conversation I had with the Dream Syndicate’s Steve Wynn, who turned me onto their sound. I even enjoy that Pilooski remix of their song “Lucidity”. With any luck I hope to catch them December 13 at the Independent here in San Francisco.
Tame Impala, “Expectation”
As part of the new Wikileaks trend comes an interesting offering from the Diddy-Dirty Money yet-to-be-released album The Last Train to Paris. The two leaked tracks are “Strobe Lights” (Feat. Lil Wayne) and “Looking for Someone to Love Me”. Lil Wayne gives “Strobe Lights” a decent effort in his verse over a weird ominous sample before Dawn Richard and Kalenna’s vocals get completely obliterated in unnecessary, high trim autotune effects. But if you can look past the Kanye-level caliber of ego posturing hubris on Diddy’s performance on “Someone to Love Me”, you can hear shades of En Vogue styled talents through Dawn and Kalenna’s vocals. Other collaborators on the upcoming album are rumored to be Chris Brown, Drake, Swizz Beatz, T.I., Justin Timerlake and Usher.
Just in, I hear that Violens are going to play a New York show December 11 at Santos Party house with Light Asylum and Caveman. They are currently wrapping up a European tour alongside The Drums.
And to keep the good Holiday feelings going, I will leave you with a video of California’s outgoing Governator dancing a hora with some members of the orthodox persuasion. Happy Chanukah folks!

BARCELONA (Reuters) - U.S. actor Jack Black has some big comedic shoes to fill in his forthcoming project, which sees him take the lead role in “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”, a star-studded reboot of the hit 1995 comedy that starred the late Robin Williams.
Black said that he only watched the original film after being cast in the follow-up. He described Williams as a “genius” who was “at the peak of his powers” in the movie.
The original “Jumanji” saw Williams play a man who escapes from captivity inside a magical jungle-themed board game. The new film sees that premise reversed, with the lead characters journeying into the game’s fantastical world.
“In this one we actually travel with the characters into the jungle and it’s gorgeous and treacherous and exciting”, Black told Reuters.
In another twist away from the original, which saw Williams’ character enter the game as a child an emerge as an adult, this film sees child characters transform into adults when they get pulled into the game.
Black and co-star Nick Jonas were promoting the film at Cine Europe 2017, an annual cinema convention held in Barcelona.
In addition to Black and Jonas the film features screen muscleman Dwanye “The Rock” Johnson, and comedian Kevin Hart.
“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” is due out in Cinemas in December.

It’s Monday, so it’s time to take a look back at Friday’s storylines and examine how they played out at FedEx Field, where the Redskins earned a fourth straight victory, 31-28 in overtime, against the Ravens on Sunday.
1—Injuries to key starters Trent Williams, London Fletcher and DeAngelo Hall.
Williams, who has been battling a deep thigh bruise since Thanksgiving, didn’t get in a full practice all week and appeared quite uncomfortable during pregame warmups. But the third-year tackle didn’t miss a snap (again).
“However long we’re playing, it’s going to hurt,” Williams said afterward.
The Williams-led line yielded three sacks (for 24 yards) and eight hits on Robert Griffin III, but the unit also paved the way for 172 rushing yards.
Fletcher, meantime, extended his consecutive games streak to 237, despite virtually no practice during the week because of a lingering ankle sprain. The 37-year-old did not miss a snap, recorded nine tackles (second to Perry Riley’s 15) and also picked off Joe Flacco at the Redskins’ 11-yard line in the third quarter.
Hall, though, admittedly did not have one of his best games in coverage. Also dealing with a sprained ankle that had him in a boot earlier in the week, Hall did not miss a snap and recorded seven tackles (third most). But he also was covering Ravens’ wide receiver Anquan Boldin on both of Boldin’s first half touchdowns.
“We blew some things – myself included,” Hall said. “We just have to be better. It’s a lot easier to correct those things after wins.”
2—The Redskins could have set a franchise record for games in a season without a turnover. But they were denied a sixth shutout when Alfred Morris fumbled for the second time in as many weeks.
Despite a heavy workload, the rookie has taken good care of the ball, having turned the ball over only three times in 13 games. Sunday’s was a costly one. Morris had two hands on the ball when Ma’ake Kemoeatu tackled him, jarring it loose deep in Washington’s end. Three plays later, Flacco found Dennis Pitta for a 14-yard touchdown that put the Ravens ahead 21-14.
But, as usual, the good far outweighed the bad with Morris. He finished with third consecutive game of more than 100 yards rushing (122) and scored his seventh touchdown.
3—With Cedric Griffin serving the first game of a four-contest suspension, D.J. Johnson stepped into the role of third cornerback behind Hall and Josh Wilson. Johnson played 21 snaps (35-percent) on defense and made two tackles on first quarter drive that resulted in a Ravens’ punt.
And while Johnson didn’t appear to make any glaring miscues, he also was not used as much as Griffin had been in recent games. Rookie Richard Crawford also played one snap at corner after being inactive the previous five weeks.
Overall, Jim Haslett’s unit yielded a season-high 186 rushing yards and a season-low 173 passing yards.

Pros and Cons by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg
Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg have teamed up for a dynamic new series featuring an FBI agent who’s on the hunt—and a master con artist who’s enjoying the chase. The con is on in this eBook original short story that’s a triumphant prequel to The Heist.
FBI special agent Kate O’Hare has made it her mission to nail international con artist Nicolas Fox. When she discovers his plot to plunder a venture capitalist’s twentieth-story Chicago penthouse of all its cash and treasures at the same time that the self-proclaimed “King of Hostile Takeovers” is getting married, Kate is 85 percent—okay maybe 92 percent—sure that she’s finally going to bag Nick Fox.
Problem is, first Kate has to convince her boss, building security, and maybe even herself, that wedding planner Merrill Stubing is actually Nicolas Fox. Second, she has to figure out how to corner and capture him without disrupting the event of the year. And third, what’s going to happen once O’Hare finally gets her hands on Fox? It’s going take a pro to catch a con before the fireworks over Lake Michigan go off.
My Review: 5 out of 5 stars. This is a short story within the Fox and O’Hare Series. A great series with a kick butt FBI agent, Kate O’Hare. I’ve read everything in the series and there is a new one on the horizon that I’m super excited to get my hands on!!

I know I have seen this discussed before, but can someone advise me the best way to key the following:
2nd period April 191.
This is typical of 2 images within a set, the other three all showing 15th -30th April 1918.
I am also seeing names duplicated, but not underneath the first one, rather at the end of the listings, and they all seem to be the foremen. I don't feel happy not entering them.

When WordPress, the world’s most popular Blogging and Content Management System, takes a political stand you know it must be important.? WordPress tends to shy away from the political spectrum since it has its hands full keeping both WordPress.com and WordPress.org running smoothly in terms of new updates, features and security enhancements
But on January 10, 2012, it finally threw its hat in the ring and officially protested developments taking place in Washington, D.C., which look set to send shockwaves through the Internet.
What are they afraid of? It’s an ugly development called censorship, which WordPress, along with Google, believe will stifle the creativity and spirit of the Internet.
On Tuesday, January 24th, the Senate is due to pass an Internet Censorship bill that could actually “break the Internet”. They call this the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA.
Private corporations want the ability to shutdown unauthorized sites where users can download music, video and photos. This means Government could force ISPs and web hosting providers like midPhase to block access to infringing domain names.? They could also sue U.S. based search engines, including blogs and forums, for infringement. Corporations and government could even force advertisers to pull ads from offending web hosts and search engines.
Tech heavyweights like WordPress believe the incoming regulations are a waste of time and will not stop illegal downloads, since users could just type in the IP address instead of the domain name.
Further, it will cripple new startups because any company may sue them if they feel their filtering methods are not robust enough. This means if you are small startup or SMB you could be bankrupt before you have your first customers through the door.
There are also concerns that the language contained in the bill is so ambiguous it allows ANY social media site to be targeted for illegal downloads or content sharing. This means sites like Tumblr or even YouTube could be targets for shutdown.
Even if you believe the Government will not abuse these new powers, the same may not be said for other countries that seek to adopt their own unique laws. This means we could see a fragmentation of the Internet and a reduction in its usefulness to small business and consumers around the world.
The new law essentially allows the Government to fiddle with the domain registries, which may ironically reduce the security and stability of the Global DNS.
Plus, there are already tools like the Digital Millennium Act and Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement that provide some measure of retribution for corporations, including big Hollywood movie producers, who seek to punish offenders.
In many respects, this is a battle between Libertarians and those who see the need for more Government to protect the people. The Internet was built on the concepts of openness and sharing. It has helped bring down regimes and challenge the Status Quo. If this Bill passes it may threaten all that we love about this revolutionary medium.
To learn more about the midPhase SOPA stance click here for more information.
If you believe the Internet should be protected and kept free from unnecessary regulation you can cast your vote here. There is not much time!
I WANT TO STOP AMERICAN CENSORSHIP

This is one of the best paranormal mysteries that I have read. Dae’ s abilities have expand and she is now able to see a ghost. Dae is hosting a mayor’s conference at the Blue Whale. The week of the conference Duck is hit by the remnants of a hurricane. Everyone seeks shelter in a safe room huddled together during the storm. Upon cleanup after the storm. One of the mayor is found dead under a shed that collapse. The ghost of a notorious pirate appears to Dae and tells her she is descended him.
He wants Dae to prove that he was hung for a crime he didn’t commit. Dae has personal problems besides finding out who murdered the mayor during the storm. The subplots are brought together into one story. I responded to the end and brought the next book.

This book is about humankind's recent attempts, using recombinant DNA technologies, to modify the genetic makeup of living organisms. It describes how scientists have learned to isolate and transfer DNA from one species to another, generate clonal (genetically identical) copies of individual genes and sometimes whole organisms, and otherwise exercise godlike influences over the hereditary material of microbes, plants, and animals, including humans.
In this book I speak of genetic determinism, but not in the pejorative sense often associated with the nature nurture debate. The sharp divisions drawn in this debate too often miss the point that all organismal features result from an interaction between genetic makeup and environment. Every suite of genes requires some suitable range of environmental conditions for proper expression, and every environment will suit some genotypes better than others. When things go awry and genetic disorders appear, these may be interpreted as an incongruence or an improper match, between genes and the environment. True, certain traits tend to appear across a wider range of environmental conditions than others. Yet, for any genotype, some environments will be entirely inhospitable.
Why do researchers compare identical twins (formed when one sperm fertilizes one egg and then the embryo splits to form two embryos) to fraternal twins (formed when two different sperm fertilize two different eggs) instead of comparing identical twins to brothers and sisters born at separate times Because whenever the siblings are twins, they have something in common besides their genetic makeup they have also shared the same environment in the uterus for the whole nine months. If siblings were conceived and born at different times, the differences between them might include not only their genetic differences, but also differences in their pregnant mother's nutrition, exposure to smoke, encounter with physical trauma, or consumption of medications. Twin studies that compare identical to fraternal twins are often used to try to determine how much of a characteristic can be attributed to genetics and how much can be attributed to environmental causes.
Assays of genes and their protein products have provided overwhelming empirical support for Garrod's proposition that each human (barring a monozygotic twin) is distinct from all others in molecular makeup. Thousands of genes have been identified, some with scores of alternative DNA forms (alleles), such that the collective probability of a perfect match between the genomes of any two individuals is vanishingly small.2 Assays of molecular variation at even small numbers of highly polymorphic genes (usually 5-10 in most courtroom applications, such as the O. J. Simpson trial) produce what are referred to as DNA fingerprints. Just as conventional fingerprints are person-specific, so too are the genetic bar codes now scanned routinely in molecular forensics laboratories to identify the individual source of a blood, semen, or tissue sample.
Two criticisms can be raised against this definition one is quite general, the other relates to its application in EM. The first criticism (Di Francia, 1955) concerns an information-theoretical aspect of the experiment if it is known a priori that the object consists of two points, then measurement of their mutual distance in the image is essentially a pattern-recognition problem, which is limited by noise, not by the size of d. (For instance, if the image of a single point, i.e., the point spread function, is a circularly symmetric function, the image of two points with nonzero distance will no longer be rotationally symmetric, and the exact distance could be simply obtained by fitting, even when the distance is much less than the diameter of the point-spread function.) The other criticism is that the resolution criterion formulated above does not lend itself to a suitable experiment when applied to high-resolution EM. On the nanometer scale, any test object, as well as the support...
Cells and tissues met in biological organisms are unquestionably quantum mechanical in their makeup. Nonetheless, the deciphering of their functions has mainly been practiced in terms of the language of cellular and molecular biology instead of that of quantum dynamics. This observation alone seems to suggest that there might be a possibility for exploring quantum dynamics further in order to accommodate to itself an essence of what cellular and molecular biology would
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938 A major overhaul of the basic food and drug legislation occurred in 1938 with the passage of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FDC) Act of 1938. Signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 25, 1938, this act broadened the original legislation by extending the regulatory power of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to cover cosmetics and medical devices requiring predistribution approval of new drugs requiring that tolerance levels be set for unavoidable poisonous substances authorizing standards of identity, quality, and fill levels for containers for foods authorizing inspections of factories where regulated products are manufactured and adding court injunctions to FDA enforcement powers. The FDC has been amended several times since its passage. Examples
RF artifacts can also be caused by improper shielding of electrical cables running through the wall from the control room into the scanner room, and even by the use of hair products and makeup that contain ferrous material (not uncommon ). The closer a metallic object is to the patient's head, the greater the potential for artifacts. Jewelry, watches, and credit cards should never be taken into the MR environment (electronics are likely to be destroyed). Small metallic objects far from the participant's head, such as buttons on jeans, haven't presented a problem in our experience.
F1 hybrid1 rodents have far fewer strain-specific pathologies than their parental strains but retain the benefit that all individuals in the population are genetically identical. Hybrid rodents tend to be more robust and longer-lived than either parental strain. For example, approximate mean survival is 800 days for Fischer 344 (F344) rats and 900 days for Brown Norway (BN) rats, but for F344xBN F1 hybrid rats, mean survival is about 950 days (Turturro et al., 1999). Genetically heterogeneous (HET) rodents are mixtures of defined laboratory strains (usually four or eight strains). Because no individual animal is identical to any other, the population begins to resemble the mixed genetic makeup of humans but is still defined by the limited genetic variability of the parental strains. Larger sample sizes are needed because of the genetic diversity between individuals and the resultant greater phenotypic variability. Mice from a four-way cross, for example, would share approximately 50...
Global workspace describes a horizontal layer of interconnected cortical neurons sandwiched between ascending, bottom-up inputs from thalamus and basal forebrain, and top-down executive functions from prefrontal cortex.15 Bottom-up inputs convey sensory information, as well as general arousal and highlighted saliency such as emotional context from basal fore-brain inputs 261, 263 . Top-down influences categorize and manipulate unexpected features 129 , e.g. those associated with danger, reward, etc. Acting together, bottom-up and top-down activations select a neural assembly -a specific subset of cortical-cortical projections - for attention and consciousness, prompting sufficient activity for the assembly to become the NCC. Over time, the NCC and its contents change with dynamically shifting, temporary alliances of neurons and assembly makeup. Global workspace models demonstrate a functional architecture that could accommodate consciousness.
This chapter introduces some concepts of population genetics that are used in various places later in the book. In addition it allows us to expand our knowledge of R functions and to practice conditional probability arguments, which are used here to analyze the genetic makeup of the present generation by conditioning on that of the parental generation. The reader who has a working knowledge of R may wish to skip Sect. 3.1 and the latter part of Sect. 3.2 that refers to Sect. 3.1. The first part of Sect. 3.2 (including the programs meiosis.rec and cross.rec ) introduces the concept of recombination, which plays a very important role throughout the book. It can be read independently of Sect. 3.1. Sections 3.3 and 3.4 are important for the third part of the book that deals with human genetics. This chapter contains some relatively difficult mathematical material, which is marked by an asterisk (*) and can be omitted.
In this extended-phenotype view, bipedalism freed our hands for making not just tools, but sexual ornaments and works of art. Some of our ornaments are worn on the body, while others may be quite distant, connected to us only by memory and reputation. We ornament the skin directly with ocher, other pigments, tattoos, or scars. We apply makeup to the face. We braid, dye, or cut our hair. We drape the body with jewelry and clothing. We even borrow the sexual ornamentation of other species, killing birds for their feathers, mammals for their hides, and plants for their flowers. At a greater distance, we ornament our residences, be they caves, huts, or palaces. We make our useful objects with as much style and ornament as we can afford, and make useless objects with purely aesthetic appeal.
Some of the finest examples of early Roman Hellenistic art are found in Egypt as mummy masks. The mask of this very attractive and noble Roman woman was completed in about 170 A.D. Characteristic of the very skillful portraits of the time were the slightly exaggerated eyes, the fair complexion, and subtle use of cosmetics and jewelry. Her simple, direct expression evokes a calm feeling. (British Museum, London.)
As a consequence, using NMR simultaneously with MS can provide complementary data and can combine the power of LC-MS and LC-NMR to identify components specifically. Stopped flow achieves better detection while parallel arrangements enables either the NMR or the MS to be used as the intelligent detector in finding eluting peaks of inter-est.23 As an example of the current combined approach, a computer-controlled post-LC-column splitter may create the NMR-MS interface. It directs 90 to 95 of the flow to the NMR and provides appropriate dilution and makeup flow for optimal MS ionization. The system has been enhanced by a loop storage mode, where portions of the sample can be stored in a delay loop before transfer to NMR. Chromatographic peaks can be trapped on line, in multiple-loop cassettes, stored, and then automatically transferred to for later NMR-MS analyses under computer automation.23 The system provides a versatile analytical platform for complex mixture analysis and can benefit...
About 10 percent of prion diseases are hereditary that is, the gene for PrP mutates, which leads to substitutions or alterations among the 253 amino acids that make up PrP. Somehow, these slight differences induce the protein to switch its shape. Different diseases will result depending on the makeup of the rest of the gene.
For centuries people have been using microbes to their advantage, turning grapes into wine, milk into cheese, and cabbage into sauerkraut. People benefit from what microbes do naturally They eat. They digest organic compounds, changing the chemical makeup of one product and turning it into a completely different yet tasty food or drink.
Use of Genomic Microarray Data with Standard Short Term Toxicology Studies to Guide Study Design or Species Selection
Workshop participants concluded that results from genomic studies are not mature enough to have predictive utility, especially when considering species selection for long-term toxicology studies. The main concerns were that genomic approaches are primarily used to evaluate toxicity in selected tissues, primarily liver and kidney. In addition, whereas the human, rat, and mouse genomes are fairly well characterized, the genomes for monkey or dog, two species that are vital in traditional preclinical safety studies, are not. However, genomic technologies may be useful in understanding the genomic makeup of new species such as in animal knockout models and may eventually provide a scientific rationale for not selecting rats or dogs under certain circumstances as the conventional target species in traditional toxicology studies.
Several studies have investigated racial blood vessel reactivity as an assessment of skin physiology, irritation, evaluation of dermatologie pathology treatments, effects and delivery of drugs, and wound healing. Earlier evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation depended on visual scoring to assess erythema or pallor (blanching), which has been proven to be unreliable. Two techniques, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and photoplethysmography (PPG), can measure cutaneous blood flow. LDV has been utilized in skin physiology research, diagnostics, predictive testing of irritancy of substances (cosmetics, cleansing agents, topical medications, etc.), and cutaneous effects of drugs. PPG has been applied to skin physiology studies, dermatological disorders, and systemic diseases (16,17).
One of the major thrusts of Eysenck's theory is that personality dimensions are not arbitrary creations of culture but rather result from the basic genetic and neurophys-iological makeup of the human species. If there were a biological basis to personality, two key assumptions should hold true. First, neurophysiological differences should exist between people high on one end of a dimension (e.g., introverts) and those high on the other end of that dimension (e.g., extraverts). Second, the basic personality dimensions should be universal and not lhnited to a given culture.
This group of chemicals, which are found naturally in many fruits, are used as preservatives, a function that they also perform within fruit. Ben-zoic acid itself may be used, or more commonly sodium benzoate (a salt) or ethyl or methyl para-hydroxybenzoate, also known as parabens. They have sometimes associated with adverse effects. Anaphylaxis-like reactions have been reported as well as urticaria. About 4 per cent of people who suffer from asthma may experience breathlessness and wheezing when exposed to benzoates. Parabens are often used as preservatives in cosmetics.
Major functions of the service are to stimulate and assist states and communities with the development of local health resources and to further the development of education for the health professions to assist with improvement of the delivery of health services to all Americans to conduct and support research in the medical and related sciences and to disseminate scientific information to protect the health of the nation against impure and unsafe foods, drugs, cosmetics, and other potential hazards and to provide national leadership for the prevention and control of communicable disease and for other public health functions. The PHS has its origin in an act of July 16, 1798, authorizing marine hospitals for the care of u.S. merchant seamen. Subsequent legislation has vastly broadened the scope of its activities. The Public Health Service Act of July 1, 1944, consolidated and revised substantially all existing legislation relating to the Public Health Service. The basic PHS legal...
It is not clear to what extent parents should be allowed to externally control the genetic makeup of their own children (American Medical Association, 1994).Within genetic counselling practice it is considered best practice to offer a 'non-directive' service where clients are not told what to do nor directed to make certain decisions. Therefore, it should be possible for a d Deaf couple to have a pre-natal genetic test with selective termination of pregnancy for the absence of the gene faults for deafness (i.e. if the foetus is likely to be hearing). Offering preimplantation genetic diagnosis with active selection for embryos that have the gene faults for deafness, could also be possible. However, it is debatable whether hearing geneticists and genetic counsellors would feel comfortable with such a use of genetic technology.
Chemicals that are liable to come into contact with our skin are tested in the appropriate cells, as human skin is readily obtained and used in vitro. The test, which can indicate whether a chemical is likely to be directly damaging to the skin, has now replaced experiments in living animals for some substances, including cosmetics. Human volunteers are also sometimes used to gain information about the effect of chemicals on the skin.
Tant to know where water could reliably be found for immediate needs, but also important to explore new sources for future needs. These inquisitive tendencies seem to be part of the genetic makeup of man and other species and to lay the biological foundation for our attraction to representational art (see the picture of a Russian soldier in the color montage of plate 14) as well as our curiosity for abstract art (a picture of a women with nose, eye, and mouth displaced, as in Picasso's Weeping Woman in figure 5.4). It is suggested that the same tendencies apply to our sense of proportions, symmetry, and balance. Of course, there are many layers of socialized learning and other forces that influence our interpretation ofrepresentational and abstract art pieces, but at the core is our attraction to both central and peripheral objects.
Whether treatment is necessary hinges largely on how much the tremor interferes with the patients activities of daily living (ADLs). Can the person write use a computer mouse button clothing use eating utensils eat soup apply makeup fasten jewelry shave put toothpaste on the toothbrush When these and similar activities are compromised, treatment is indicated. An occasional patient with little functional impairment will want treatment because of embarrassment, which in some cases can be as limiting as the physical effects of ET. At the outset, the physician should advise the patient that no medication will cure the tremor. The goal of treatment is to reduce the tremor and improve functioning. The effectiveness of treatment is judged by assessing the ADLs at each visit.
Eyelids What is the blink rate Do the lids close completely with each blink Are the lid margins smooth Is exophthalmus present Are the lids and lashes clean, or is there crusting and evidence of infection How does the female patient wear eye makeup (heavy mascara, liner on the lid margins, etc)
It should be obvious from the preceding list of substrates and common drugs that knowledge of 2D6 allele status may be important in directing therapy with such common drugs as antidepressants and opiates. This patient had decreased CYP2D6 activity and might be at a greater risk for toxicity, since he could not metabolize tramadol as efficiently as someone who was an extensive metabolizer. This was clearly evident by the steady-state concentrations (Css) of tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol. Typically, a patient receiving 200-400 mg day of tramadol has an average Css of 365 mg L.5 However, this patient was taking only one-fourth to one-half of that dosage (100 mg day), but had a similar Css (340 mg L). Therefore, insight into the patient's genetic makeup provided a better understanding and rationale for the insufficient pain relief that he experienced with the attempted therapeutic measures. It also supports the frequent incidents of side effects he reported.
As evidence at trial showed, the whole process of human development is 'set in motion by the genes.' There is not a single organic system of the human body not influenced by an individual's underlying genetic makeup. Genes determine the way physiological components of the human body, such as the heart, liver, or blood vessels operate. Also, according to the expert testimony received at trial, it is now thought that genes influence tastes, preferences, personality styles, manners of speech and mannerisms. This same line of reasoning was applied in Belsito v. Clark, where the judge also noted that proof of giving birth used to be an acceptable proof of being a 'natural' parent because 'for millennia, giving birth was synonymous with providing the genetic makeup of the child that was born' (Belsito v. Clark 67 Ohio Misc. 2d 59), that is, giving birth was proof of the existence of the more fundamental genetic relationship. In this case, the court ruled in no uncertain terms that 'the law...
Various other crop plants naturally produce diverse fatty acids, oils, and waxes that genetic engineers are aiming to improve for consumer health benefits or other commercial applications. The castor plant (Ricinus communis), from which castor oil derives, illustrates both goals. Approximately 90 of castor oil is ricinoleic acid, a useful compound in lubricants, paints, cosmetics, and as a cathartic (bowel purgative), but the seed coat of the bean itself is rich in ricin, an allergenic and potentially fatal protein. Using genetic engineering technologies, scientists are trying to alter the ricin to a less harmful form. They are also trying to modify the plants to produce, instead of ricino-leic acid, a closely related epoxy oil that would be useful in the manufacture of premium oil-based paints.
Common habits can cause mucocutaneous irritation, and behavior modifications are necessary to reduce risk of vulvar irritation and ensure successful management. Modifications include, but are not limited to, use of cotton underwear, lubrication with sexual contact, washing with mild soap, keeping the vulva clean and dry, and avoidance of cosmetics, perfumes, or other caustic substances in this sensitive area. Aluminum acetate in water (e.g., Burow's solution), topical creams (such as Sorbolene or aqueous cream), sitz baths with mild soap, and lubricants (such as petroleum jelly) are helpful in some cases. Secondary bacterial or Candida infections require specific treatment.
There are several genetic variants of drug-metabolizing enzymes that affect how active they are. For example, approximately 5-10 percent of most Caucasian populations have a variant of CYP2D6 that is either inactive or poorly functional. This means that these people poorly metabolize drugs that are substrates for this enzyme. For example, the activation of codeine to the active morphine metabolite is carried out by CYP2D6. Therefore people with an enzyme that functions poorly do not activate codeine well and do not receive the analgesic benefits of codeine when they take it. The older antidepressants such as amitripty-line and nortriptyline are also metabolized by CYP2D6, but in this case they are inactivated. Therefore people with the inactive enzyme have higher blood levels of these antidepressants and are more likely to have side effects if they are given standard doses of the drugs. The ability to predict how an individual will respond to a drug based on his or her genetic makeup,...
Ternal environment, nothing in the environment can influence them to transmit specific traits preferentially to the next generation. The germ cells are coselected as mute passengers, in the vehicle of an organism made up of somatic cells with the same genetic makeup as they have. The only selection that can take place is the survival and reproductive success of the entire individual derived from a fertilized egg. A principal biological advantage for sequestering germ cells from the soma may be to assure that they reflect only the success of the whole individual, instead of the success of any selfish somatic lineage of cells within the individual that could most influence them. Weismann added to Darwinian evolution the cell-biological evidence that nullified the concept of the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Lead has been mined for more than 6000 years, and it was certainly known to the Ancient Egyptians who used lead pigments as well as casting the metal itself into small figurines. Cosmetics made from lead ores have been found in tombs of the second millennium bc, and these consisted of the Romans - including the adulterating of wine - they also poisoned their food with lead-glazed pottery and their drink with lead crystal and lead pewter. They took lead-based medicines, used hair dyes and cosmetics made from lead compounds. They ate canned foods which were sealed with lead solder and they covered many things with paints consisting mainly of white lead. Lead was also present in the water collected from leaded roofs, and in pubs beer was pumped through lead pipes from the cellar to the taps in the bar. In all these ways lead was in their diet and a comparison of the two empires shows just how exposed to lead their respective citizens were. Cosmetics
Impurities, such as those from the media or HCPs. The dose and route of administration also play a role, with subcutaneous routes generally more immunogenic than intramuscular or intravenous routes. The genetic makeup of the patient population also determines if the protein would be immunogenic115 thus, adverse effects may be race dependent. Thus, the immunogenicity of a protein cannot easily be predicted and is controlled by a complex multitude of factors and not a simple consideration of self versus nonself.
You would benefit from modifying your anger level. It is never easy to change lifelong patterns, but the evidence is clear that anger management programs work. It is true that some of us are predisposed by our biological makeup to respond more strongly than others, but the experience of anger is strongly influenced by learning. If we observed our parents becoming angry frequently, we learned that anger is an expected reaction in such situations. And remember, patterns that are learned can be unlearned.
The new term better reflected the relationship between the index and what were then called articulation tests. Articulation tests were speech tests in which listeners were asked to identify speech sounds spoken by a caller under conditions of interest to the experimenter. The exact makeup of the articulation tests varied, but they usually consisted of a carrier sentence with a nonsense syllable test item at the end. Several callers would in turn utter the sentences via the test circuit to crews of six to eight listeners. The listeners would record what they heard phonetically. The circuit articulation was equal to the average proportion of the sounds (or syllables) heard correctly by the listeners. The articulation index was devised as an alternative to this procedure.
The discussion in this chapter so far has focused on the toxicological implications of damage to DNA by toxic agents. However, the genetic implications of toxicology are much broader than damage to DNA because of the strong influence of genetic makeup on susceptibility and resistance to toxicants. It is known that susceptibility to certain kinds of cancers is influenced by genetic makeup. In Section 8.2, mention was made of oncogenes, associated with the development of cancer, and tumor suppressor genes, which confer resistance to cancer. Susceptibility to certain kinds of cancers, some of which are potentially initiated by toxicants, clearly have a genetic component. Breast cancer is a prime example in that women whose close relatives (mother, sisters) have developed breast cancer have a much higher susceptibility to this disease, to the extent that some women have had prophylactic removal of breast tissue based on the occurrence of this disease in close relatives. It is now possible...
The problem, they thought, could be approached analytically or synthetically. That is, investigators could start with compounds already in use in chemotherapy and try to determine what it was about their chemical makeup that made them work. Or researchers could begin with a relatively simple molecule and study the therapeutic consequences of variations in its constituents or structure. Walker and Sweeney chose the latter course, laying down the requirement that the simple compound chosen be capable of extensive chemical modification without destruction of its fundamental structure and that it contain a definite bactericidal group. As their starting molecule, Walker and Sweeney chose the benzene ring, with an atom of mercury substituted for one of the carbons. They produced variations on this mercurated benzene by substituting other elements or radicals for other carbons on the ring or by joining other elements or radicals to the mercury. They held the mercury content constant in the...
On the basis of these studies, Cattell (1973) estimated the heritability (H) of various traits. Heritability is the fraction of the total measured variance of the trait X in the population that is due to hereditary differences in individual makeup (p. 145). The highest heritability among the primary source traits in Q-data is for intelligence, with an H of about 0.75. Other factors with heritabilities of 0.50 or higher are surgency (Factor F), affectia (Factor A), premsia-harria (Factor I), and protension (Factor L). Considering factors of particular interest to clinicians, Cattell reported a high level of heritability for Factor C (ego strength) and other aspects of personality related to neurosis (Cattell, Rao, & Schuerger, 1985 Cattell, Schuerger, & Klein, 1982). He recommended that people who are highly prone to anxiety because of their genetic endowment should be treated with particular care in family and school situations (Cattell, Vaughan, Schuerger, & Rao, 1982).
Fowler's solution was recommended for other ailments, such as asthma and common neuroses. It was also found to be successful in the treatment of malaria, and was used to destroy nerves in teeth in dentistry. It was still being described for such purposes in a textbook of Materia Medica and Therapeutics published in i92i.4 Arsenic was also used in cosmetics because it was believed to improve the complexion, imparting to it a 'milk rose' appearance.
Micronutrient An essential nutrient, as a trace mineral, that is required in minute amounts. Micronutrients are essential to the body in small amounts because they either are components of enzymes or act as coenzymes in managing chemical reactions. Micronutrient supplementation has been found to strengthen immune defenses however, some studies have found that the genetic makeup of the virus plays a role in whether or not micronutri-ents actually strengthen the immune system, in effect countering years of reports concerning micronutrient deficiencies in people living with HIV.
Researchers also are working to identify genes that may influence epilepsy in some way. Identifying these genes can reveal the underlying chemical processes that influence epilepsy and point to new ways of preventing or treating this disorder. Researchers also can study rats and mice that have missing or abnormal copies of certain genes to determine how these genes affect normal brain development and resistance to damage from disease and other environmental factors. Researchers may soon be able to use devices called gene chips to determine each person's genetic makeup or to learn which genes are active. This information may allow doctors to prevent epilepsy or to predict which treatments will be most beneficial.
The complex makeup of humans invalidates any simple or one-sided description. According to Jung, each person is a composition of opposing forces. No one is completely introverted or totally extraverted all male or all female solely a thinking, feeling, sensing, or intuitive person and no one proceeds invariably in the direction of either progression or regression.
White lead was widely used in cosmetics in the 1700s and 1800s, when to be white skinned was to be beautiful. In the USA one particular product, called Bloom of Youth, occasionally led to its users dying of lead poisoning. Yet such cosmetic uses of white lead stretched back to ancient times in both
There are numerous other historical design flaws in the physiological and mechanical makeup of human beings, such as a metabolic inability to manufacture vitamin C the absence of a reserve second heart (unlike our paired lungs, kidneys, eyes, and opposable thumbs) a birth canal too narrow to permit comfortable passage of an infant the retention of wisdom teeth in a jaw that is too short and the prevalence of problems that accompany upright bipedalism, ranging from pains in the lower back, leg joints, and feet, to abdominal hernias, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.17 Such imperfections of design, all too familiar especially to those of us of advancing age, are as understandable in the light of evolutionary history as they are unfathomable as the workings of a loving interventionist god.
Paley compared the complexity of the watch, which he could understand, with the complexity of life, which in 1802 he could not, as a measure of their creators. However, such comparisons look different today. Where he would have seen an earthworm and a skylark each as a unique and complex design, we now see underlying similarities they have the same system of heredity, the same genetic code, the same cellular makeup, the same subcellular components, largely the same metabolism, and many of the same processes of embryonic development. Paley was on a firm footing in distinguishing the stone and the watch, but not in comparing the watch and the skylark, the worm, or the eye. He had every reason to see each as an independent act of creation. All he saw in common was their complexity, not the nature of the complexity, and it is that nature that tips the balance between acceptance of evolution and the alternative deism that Paley chose.
As with all other areas of the life sciences, toxicology is strongly affected by the remarkable ongoing advances in the area of mapping and understanding the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that directs the reproduction and metabolism of all living things. This includes the human genome, as well as those of other organisms. It is known that certain genetic characteristics result in a predisposition for certain kinds of diseases and cancers. The action of toxic substances and the susceptibility of organisms to their effects have to be strongly influenced by the genetic makeup of organisms. The term chemical idiosyncrasy has been applied to the abnormal reaction of individuals to chemical exposure. An example of chemical idiosyncrasy occurs with some individuals who are affected very strongly by exposure to nitrite ion, which oxidizes the iron(II) in hemoglobin to iron(III), producing methemoglobin, which does not carry oxygen to tissues. These individuals have a low activity of the...
One more representative case of contextual dynamics comes from thermodynamics (Matsuno, 2001). What is unique to thermodynamics is that it introduces macroscopic variables such as volume, pressure, temperature and entropy without detailing their atomistic makeup at the outset. These macroscopic variables are about the context in which the underlying microscopic elements, whatever they may be, are eventually situated. The contextual dynamics specifying the values of the macroscopic variables is constantly operative there. Even if the fundamental dynamics of microscopic elements is left unspecified, the contextual specification is to proceed. A molecule in the gas is subject to the temperature of the gas while at the same time the molecule is part of the gas substantiating the same temperature. Thus, any contextual element constituting the context comes to materialize and share the same contextual specification. Thermodynamics is unique in emphasizing the priority of contextual...
Genomes of higher organisms represent the descendants of bacterial ancestors that much earlier in evolution entered into endosymbi-otic18 relationships with proto-eukaryotic host cells bearing precursors of the nuclear genome.19 Over evolutionary time, some of the genes originally carried by the bacterial invaders were transferred to the nucleus,20 whereas others were retained by the mitochondrion. These remarkable findings give a whole new slant on human makeup. Literally, our cells are coinhabited by a now well-integrated amalgamation of genes that originated in completely separate presymbiotic microbes.
Ehrlich's compound was called a magic bullet because, like other antibiotic agents, it specifically targeted the syphilis spirochete. Antibiotics are simply chemicals that react with other chemicals. Every cell, whether it is human or bacterium, is also made up of chemicals. The cell's membranes are covered with receptor sites that allow the cell to react with or take in other chemicals. In order for an antibiotic to work, it must have the right chemical makeup, or key, to fit the chemical makeup, or lock, at the receptor site on the bacterium. But the antibiotic's chemical key must not fit
Patients would be able to utilize these cloned embryos to generate tissue matching their genetic makeup, which could be used in regenerative medical treatments. The impact of this new discovery, if it could be made commercially feasible, would transform society as much as the Internet, the transistor, or the atom bomb had done.
Host factors Factors intrinsic to the HIV-infected individual that influence the rate at which HIV replicates in the person's body and how rapidly the patient will develop AIDS. These factors include the specific immune response to the virus, nonspecific factors, and the individual's genetic makeup. Such factors are as important, or in some cases even more important, to the HIV disease process than the intrinsic virulence of the virus itself. Host factors, together with viral factors, determine the pathogenesis of HIV disease, the complex events which lead to the destruction of an HIV-infected person's immune system.
The wisdom of a microbe lies in its ability to change. They are able to reproduce much faster than their human competitors. A new generation can come along as quickly as every fifteen minutes, and each time a bacterium divides, there is a chance for error. A random change in the genetic makeup of a cell that becomes a permanent inherited characteristic is called a mutation. And a mutation that increases a microbe's chance of survival is passed on to the next generation.
Therapeutic cloning has great potential for generating stem cell lines that are genetically matched to the donor's genetic makeup. These stem cells lines in turn have the potential to provide amazing therapies for illnesses and injuries that have no cure today. Therapies to remedy damage due to disease or genetic abnormality and eventually, even physical injury are part of the quickly expanding field of regenerative medicine.
Preconscious tubulin superpositions reach threshold for Penrose OR (e. g. after 25 ms) according to E K t in which E is the gravitational self-energy of the superpositioned mass (e. g. the number of tubulins in superposition), K is Planck's constant over 2 , and t is the time until OR. Larger superpositions (more intense experience) reach threshold faster. For t 25ms (i.e. 40Hz) E is roughly 1011 tubulins, requiring a hyperneuron of minimally 104 neurons per conscious event (Hameroff and Penrose 89 ). The makeup of the hyperneuron (and content of consciousness) evolves with subsequent events.
Throughout pregnancy, this brain development is vulnerable to disruptions. If the disruption occurs early, the fetus may die, or the infant may be born with widespread disabilities and possibly mental retardation. If the disruption occurs later, when the cells are becoming specialized and moving into place, it may leave errors in the cell makeup, location, or connections. Some scientists believe that these errors may later show up as learning disorders.
Previous generations found it to be an essential part of civilized living pipes, pewter, pottery, paints, and even potions were made with it. Toy soldiers were cast from it, port wine protected by it grey hair was disguised with it, church roofs covered with it cosmetics contained it, and cans of food were sealed with it.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the building block of human genetic material and is found in all cells of the body which have nuclei. Differences in the makeup of DNA of various persons make it possible to distinguish the DNA of one person from that of another. The results of DNA analysis has been called the DNA fingerprint, implying that the genetic composition is similar to our fingerprint in that it is unique to an individual. This is not quite true identical DNA patterns are found in identical twins. However, excluding the existence of an identical twin, the DNA of an individual is unique. DNA testing is commonly performed in all states and its validity has been accepted by the scientific and legal communities.
Knowledge of the genetic makeup of the gramnegative anaerobic pathogens lags far behind their aerobic counterparts. Sequence for only a few hundred nonredundant genes have been deposited in the databases for all these genera combined. An accurate understanding of the genetic makeup of these organisms awaits complete genome sequencing.
Parabens, sensitivity to The parabens (methyl-, propyl-, and butyl-) are the most common preservatives used in foods, drugs, and cosmetics, but they can cause a severe redness, swelling, itching, and pain. They can also cause anaphylactic shock in susceptible individuals. Parabens can be found in mayonnaise, salad dressings, spiced sauces, mustard, processed vegetables, frozen dairy products, some baked goods, jellies and jams, soft drinks, fruit juices, syrups, and candies. In medications, they are used in many dermatologic creams eye, ear, and nose drops rectal and vaginal medications bandages and local anesthetics. Cosmetics containing parabens include foundations, powders, cover-up sticks, bronzers, makeup removers, blushes, highlighters, lipsticks, quick-dry nail products, mascaras, eye shadows, and eyeliners. However, considering how widespread the use of parabens is, sensitivity to this preservative is low. (See also allergies.)
Crick's target was deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, known by then to be the medium of heredity. At Cambridge he joined a team with James D. Watson, an American encouraged to study genetics by Muller and X-ray crystallogra-phers Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. At first, the makeup of DNA made it seem too simple a molecule to encode inheritance, which many thought would more likely reside in the proteins also found in cell nuclei. But the computer age had started, and the simplicity of binary code systems made DNA a more attractive candidate.
Somatic cell gene therapy A genetic treatment that involves the insertion of genes into somatic cells for therapeutic purposes, for example, to induce the treated cells to produce a protein that the body is missing. It has been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer. Inserting a particular gene into somatic cells affects only the patient being treated. It does not affect the genetic makeup of a patient's offspring and generally does not change all, or even most, cells in the patient. Therefore, it is considered an extension of normal medical care and does not generally fall under the moral and legal controls of other genetic engineering. It is being studied for potential use in the treatment of HIV.
In 1864 there were reports in the press of children actually dying as a result of the vapours given off by mouldy green wallpaper, and the medical journal Lancet warned of the dangers of arsenic pigments. A typical wallpaper would contain around 700 mg m2 so that an average-sized living room would hold around 30000 mg of arsenic, in theory enough to kill more than a hundred people. Most of this arsenic would remain on the walls of the room unless they became damp. The nature of the aerial poison was unknown at the time but this did not stop concerned individuals launching campaigns against the use of arsenic-based pigments even though these flew in the face of most medical opinion which regarded arsenic as a potent medicine and good for treating all kinds of afflictions of the human body. In addition the general public had discovered that when arsenic-based papers were used on bedroom walls there was a noticeable disappearance of bed bugs, a major benefit that led to increased sales....
Genetic engineering can be a misleading term if taken to imply undue analogies to physical engineering. When geneticists tinker with the genetic makeup of plants, animals, or microbes, the outcomes can be far less predictable than when a mechanical engineer builds a house, a bridge, or a dam. Each individual organism changes continually during its development, thus posing an ever-shifting physiological milieu for genetic manipulation. At the population level also, nothing remains static, but rather evolves, often in partial response to any genetic alterations themselves. So, too, will other species evolve with whom GMOs interact. The net results are ever-changing and varied responses to genetic manipulations and levels of temporal unpredictability that far surpass what physical engineers encounter.
What is it like to have a peak experience Maslow (1964) described several guidelines that may help answer this question. Fhst, peak experiences are quite natural and are part of human makeup. Second, people having a peak experience see the whole universe as unified or all in one piece, and they see clearly their place in that universe. Also, during this mystical time, peakers feel both more humble and more powerful at the same tune. They feel passive, receptive, more desirous of listening, and more capable of hearing. Simultaneously, they feel more responsible for then activities and perceptions, more active, and more self-determined. Peakers experience a loss of fear, anxiety, and conflict and become more loving, accepting, and spontaneous. Although peakers often report such emotions as awe, wonder, rapture, ecstasy, reverence, humility, and surrender, they are not likely to want to get something practical from the experience. They often experience a disorientation in time and space,...
Adler (1956) acknowledged the importance of heredity and environment hi forming personality. Except for identical twhis, every child is born with a unique genetic makeup and soon comes to have social experiences different from those of any other human. People, however, are much more than a product of heredity and environment. They are creative beings who not only react to their environment but also act on it and cause it to react to them.

Newsletter — Chrismas or ChrisTmas
Here is another newsletter article by PPPadre, a frequent commentator on Steadfast Lutherans. Thanks for the submission; please submit your own articles if you think they could use a wider audience.
I don’t know why or when it started…laziness, I suppose. Language is full of words changing pronunciation to make them easier to say (like conpact changing to compact so the lips can be in the correct position to make the “p” sound). Somewhere along the line, the “t” in Christmas became silent. Most people pronounce the word /KRIS-mas/. Even though I try to keep the “t” in there, I will admit that I sometimes slip into that lazy pronunciation, as well. It wouldn’t bother me so much, I guess, if the symbolism were not so profound.
The letter “t” resembles (more or less, depending on the font you use) a cross. So many are trying to take the cross out of Christmas, I try to remind myself that the cross is at the center of Christmas by distinctly pronouncing the “t.” And when I decry those who are taking the cross out of Christmas, I am not talking about those Godless individuals who denude public squares of creches and hold “Winter Holiday” concerts. They are taking Christ out of Christmas. But even within the church, there is an effort by some to play on the emotion of the day – the birth of a child, impoverished parents, humble surroundings for a noble birth, etc. – and miss the broader theme of this feast of the church – why Jesus was born. How many Christmas songs and carols speak of the setting of that night, the weather and the people present, but presuppose (or worse yet, blatantly omit) the purpose for the birth of Christ? And how many songs do underscore the reason for the season, but are presented in such a way that the message gets lost? Do we like The Little Drummer Boy because of the cute tyke banging on his drum, or because the message of the song is that salvation is for all and no one is left without a means of responding to that precious gift? Do we hum Good King Wenceslaus because it’s a catchy little ditty or because it tells the story of how gift of salvation strengthens and motivates the Christian to acts of love and charity?
The three greatest festivals of the church year, Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost are focused on the events of the Cross. (And, I just noticed as I typed them out, “t”s near the center of the word.) The Easter Season and its preparatory season, Lent, are focused on the passion, death and resurrection of Christ as the atonement for our sins and the seal of the promise of our newness of life. Pentecost celebrates that we, having been buried with our crucified Christ, are resurrected by the Holy Spirit and united as church. Again, the work of the cross is central. Likewise, Christmas and its preparatory season of Advent focus on the coming of Christ to accomplish the mission of the Cross – both at the incarnation as He began His march to the Cross and at the Final Day when He will return and view all of creation in light of the Cross. Nothing is more important in the life of a Christian than the work of the Cross. It is the righteousness of God and the gift He brings us by which we are saved. Let us always remember this reason for the season.
So as you greet your fellowman this winter, don’t forget the “t.” As you wish a blessed Christmas, and receive such blessings as well, hear that “t,” think of the cross and remember:
“Christ was born for this, Christ was born for this!”

To my unbounded joy, Mrs S has returned from the UK, and Youngest is home after her four month road trip through the States. They have brought the sunshine with them, which is very pleasing.
Stories are being literally poured out at me about who did what to whom, Youngests visits to FBI building and various cultural centres, like Museums and Courthouses (She’s a law graduate, what can I say). There was also a telling little snippet from Mrs S, who witnessed the Diamond jubilee barge parade up the Thames. The weather on that day in London was not pleasant apprently; “Absolutely bucketing down.” According to my other half, as the Queen stepped off the Royal Barge, there was a moment when Elizabeth II glanced up at the leaden, rain filled sky with an air of disgust, and indulged herself in a small ‘rolling of the eyes’ moment. A kind of “Oh bloody hell, what now?” expression on the regal visage.
Kind of says it all about the UK really.
Am looking out on a sunny BC morning and indulging myself in a small, smug ‘Glad I don’t live there any more’ moment.

We know a member of the jury of the contest dedicated to Boreal Forests. A South Tyrolean photographer known for his sensitivity and pursuit of perfection, Georg Kantioler.
I find particularly attractive “clean” and quiet image, consequently I work with aperture and / or with long shutter speeds. I Refusal on principle the use of artificial light in all circumstances. It grew on me gradually the realization that to get maximum results in the photograph is of vital importance to know how to keep the peace and the ability to empathize completely in the chosen motif. To get quality pictures not just a simple click; they do require a lot of care and even psychological preparation, to obtain the necessary stimulus and be able to concentrate fully on the chosen subject, no matter how simple it is. The world in which I move is mainly my land, the Südtirol / Alto Adige, and are aware of still being able to exploit only a small part of my potential. I chose to stay in my land not because I feel at my house. I am indeed aware that the environments surrounding regions can often offer more than we expected. But nowhere, outside the environment where I live, I can equally optimally exploit locations, scenarios and circumstances with timing following the changing conditions that occur from time to time. You still need a continuous exercise and mental commitment to identifying, in the environment that I am most familiar, new perspectives and new ideas.
I have been repeatedly awarded in international competitions of nature photography as “Wildlife Photographer of the Year”, “Europäischer Naturfotograf des Jahres”, “Glanzlichter”, “Asferico”, “Oasis”. I was allowed also the honor of being appointed a member of the jury for the competition “Europäischer Naturfotograf des Jahres, Asferico and” Fritz Pölkingg “award.
Your photographs are characterized by a composition clean and harmonious, how to reach this result?
I would say that I am a wildlife photographer quite calm and relaxed. I’m not fond of the technique, but the pursuit of perfection. The preferred subjects are landscapes and details that can be found everywhere: details and forms, plants and insects. I try to do very clean and harmonious picture, and, if possible, pictures not yet seen. I think my pictures reflect a bit ‘my mentality. So I’m going to take pictures only when I feel relaxed and if I have a clear head.
You will be part of the jury BioPhotoContest 2017. This is not your first experience as a juror for a competition. Think that for a photographer can be a useful experience for improving your photographic work and how?
a) because the jury is made up of several photographers and discussions in the final stage are very interesting and constructive
b) make juror to other competition I got to understand what are the pictures that may be able to convince the jury and why some do not like images that often are interesting.
The BioPhotocontest is a natural competition outside the schemes. The leitmotif is always the big Biomes of the Earth but each edition sees a different biome. What is your opinion of this format? Do you think it might help to spread the knowledge of the environment also to the photographers who immerse themselves in nature but which are not naturalistic?
I can honestly say I have never participated in this contest and so far I have never asked that question. But thinking about it I would say definitely “yes.”
The next edition of BioPhotoContest theme is the Boreal forests, which we can also find in the Alps above 1500m. An environment that I guess you know well because the place where you live, the Alps of South Tyrol. The habitat of boreal forests certainly offers many interesting ideas for a nature photographer, which feature or subject of this environment you are particularly fond or that mostly attracts your photographic attention?
I’m lucky to have a small cabin in the high at 1,900 m altitude and I bought already at 21 years old a small wood. Then you understand how much I love the woods and trees. I love their smells, the fog in the woods, I love the songs of birds and I like photographers mushrooms and mosses on the ground. But the most beautiful thing that I find in the woods is the tranquility that in other places not often found anymore. It is the most peaceful place in which I am photographing, most are too quiet and I can enjoy nature.
We know that you consider your most important work the photografic book titled “Atelier Natur – Jahreszeiten in Sudtirol”. You have other projects of this kind in the short?
I am currently working on a new book. I have the honor to make this book with 3 other friends and very good photographers ( Johannes and Hugo Wassermann and Manuel Plaickner). Johannes and Manuel are dedicated more to pictures of animals, while Hugo and I work on landscapes and details. The book should be out in autumn 2017, shows the beauty of our area that Nature gives us.
Thank you Georg.

Welcome to my blog, a new endeavour to log my successes and misadventures through my journey as a triathlete, friend, daughter, sister, girlfriend, student, cook (?). To be honest, I am nervous in starting up this blog, but read as you please and I guess it will be a working progress for a while. I will keep this first post relatively modest and just give you a brief pictorial of some of 2011 so far.
as it happened....
Davenport ITU sprint Oceania Cup 18 Jan.
Wellington OTU Triathlon Oceania Champs. 3rd Elite, 1st U23, March 12
Mooloolaba 5km Bolt. Love fun runs! March 25th
Mooloolaba ITU Oceania Cup March 26th
Ishigaki ITU World Cup- this picture was taken pre-puncture! Fixed the flat eventually with 20km left to ride, my race was done but I didnt want to DNF...Ran into 25th
Edmonton ITU World Cup. First WC win!
London, where I made my debut in the World Championship Series (WCS), placing 9th. I'm second wheel
Lausanne Elite Sprint distance World Champs and WCS race. 5th
I'm back at home now with my family and friends. I was always planning to return to Australia after Lausanne before I travelled to Beijing for the World Championships. All my races and preparation this year were centred towards my goal to try and win the U23 World Champs- this was obviously not to be. During a run session I tore my soleus and it was deemed too risky for me to try and race in Beijing. Its healing so well; the timing just couldn’t be any worse! I’ve never really been injured before so I'm learning from this experience. Heading to Noosa today for the Triathlon Festival- this only means fun! I'd also like to thank Jaimi Chisholm for designing the layout of my blog, shes an amazing photographer and artist and a beautiful friend....thanks Chiz!

I know what i should be able to remember but i don’t know what i know until i have to do something.
It is the need to act that reveals what i know for in acting do i seek to remember previous actions, construct new actions using the memory of previous actions or create new actions with no recourse or conscious reference to previous actions.
Knowledge thus becomes relevant only in the context of my present circumstances and situation.
for that which i can remember, i know that i know
that which i can construct, i know from what i build and for what i build
but that which i create, i know not from what or for what until such a time as i know in that moment does it all come together.
This is the mystery of knowledge.
School, education, training and learning has always been about acquiring knowledge. But knowledge is not to be acquired. on the contrary, knowledge is to be made manifest through actions.
We are provided with memorable stuff like information and processes. we remember patterns and relationships. it is with these that we are able to repeat actions and even automatize actions. But in these, we merely remember and recall. At best we adapt through substitution, through direct or analogical transposition (tranposition based on analogical relationship). with these we merely demonstrate that we know what we should be able to remember.
Knowledge is demonstrated from the first action initiated in the context of environmental stimulus. from the types of thinking activated to the series of actions executed, knowledge is continuously being demonstrated.
The days of activating ‘remembering’ are slowly fading away. for the need to remember is being replaced by the need to associate. Remembering searches for something, Browsing looks for anything. Remembering finds something, browsing discovers relationships and patterns. Remembering offers one solution, browsing presents multiple possibilities.
For information that needed to be at the tip of our tongue is now at the tip of our fingers. To remember is no longer an achievement, rather to find a worthwhile application, to be able to locate and effectively associate what is available with what is required in order to to achieve a desired objective, that is the goal of modern education.

State Sen. Martha Fuller Clark will not be charged after a Nov. 1 crash that left a pedestrian injured, officials announced Monday.
Police said Clark's car jumped a curb on Maplewood Avenue and hit Carla Dow, 67, of Kittery Point, Maine. Dow was treated at the hospital and released after the accident.
Clark claimed that she had blacked out before the crash.
Police said toxicology reports indicated Clark was not impaired by drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident.
Within recent months, Clark’s lawyer said that she voluntarily surrendered her license and has received medical attention to get to the bottom of what caused the accident.

Actually, fall is a perfect time to shop for a home. With fewer people in the market, competition for houses drops. Meanwhile, new sellers who took the summer months to ready their homes are entering the market.
Even more encouraging, statistics show that homes purchased in October, November and December are acquired at substantial discounts from those purchased in March, April and May.
Zillow reports that nationwide, 13% of October 2016 listings sold for below list price. In Denver, that number was 9.1%. Furthermore, RealtyTrac notes that October enjoys the highest discounts—an average of 2.6% below list price nationwide. November averages 1.5% below list price; December averages 2.2% below.
By contrast, spring listings sell for an average of $1,500 more than at other times of the year.
Bottom line: Shop now and reap the rewards.

The Use of Jianpiling in Treating Ulcerative Colitis. Return to ITM Online by Subhuti Dharmananda, Ph.D., Director, Institute for Traditional Medicine, Portland, Oregon Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease are chronic inflammatory diseases of the intestines that may have similar causes.
Crohn's disease produces the main ulcerative sites in the ileum, especially in young people, while ulcerative colitis is mainly confined to the rectal area. Both diseases may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, but Crohn's is more often characterized by spasms and loss of appetite, while ulcerative colitis is more often characterized by bloody diarrhea. Ulcerative colitis occurs about ten times more frequently than Crohn's, and is, for that reason, more often the subject of clinical study. Western medical treatments usually focus on steroidal drugs to reduce the inflammation. Jianpiling (literally: the effective remedy for supporting the function of the spleen), is a modern prescription for treatment of ulcerative colitis. It is prepared as a tablet.

Are you wondering if you need a bone graft for dental implant? Many patients have concerns about bone grafts for their dental implants but not everybody needs it. Let’s take a closer look at when a bone graft may be required.
When Do Dental Implants Need Bone Grafting?
Dental implants give people with missing teeth the opportunity to replace their lost teeth at the root. The dental implant is a metal screw, which embeds into the jaw bone. Your dental practitioner will then attach an abutment (an extending bridging piece that connects the implant with the crown) and then finally place the crown on top. The reason that dental implants are among the most effective and most successful tooth replacement options is that they look and function like your teeth. In order to do this, they need to be able to withstand the same force and pressure that your natural teeth would, and they can only do this if they are embedded in bone thick enough to withstand this force. Not only does a bone graft provide a more solid base to hold your dental implants, but it can also restore your facial contour where the bone has deteriorated.
Bone Loss Occurs When Teeth Are Missing
If you have had a missing tooth for a while it is quite likely that you have experienced bone loss at the site. When the jaw bone is not stimulated by the presence of teeth roots, it starts to degrade. One of the prerequisites to be a candidate for dental implants is that you have enough jaw bone to support them. In some patients, grafting can be performed to stimulate the jaw into growing more bone tissue. If you do not have enough jaw bone or your dental practitioner has concerns that your jaw is too soft, your dental implant surgery will fail.
Bone Grafting For Dental Implant
For many patients, the bone can be taken from other parts of the body (like the hip or chin) and inserted into the site of the dental implants. In patients where this is not possible, synthetic bone can be used or bone can be taken from another source.
Sometimes, the bone tissue is taken from animal sources and at other times, from cadavers. It is necessary to have alternate sources available because not every patient wants to have two incisions or surgeries for their dental implant procedure.
Understanding Dental Implants Surgery
Your dental implant surgery consists of a series of procedures. Usually, the damaged tooth has to be extracted if it is still in your mouth. If you need a bone graft it is likely to be done at this point.
Your periodontal surgeon will make an incision and the bone tissue will be embedded into your jawbone. and if the procedure is successful, it will stimulate new bone growth in the site in the coming months.
It will take a few months for bone tissue in your jaw to regenerate and while you may be concerned about the delay in your treatment, the bone graft is an essential part of dental implant surgery for many people. In some cases, a patient may only need a minor bone graft, and this can be done at the same time as placing your dental implants.
Little bone grafts
A little bone graft is when your dental practitioner places granulated human bone into the socket of your missing tooth. The incision will be covered with a collagen membrane.
Medium bone grafts
What distinguishes a medium graft from a little bone graft is that height and width need to be restored in a medium bone graft. Your dental practitioner will insert enough bone material in order to rebuild the height and width of your jaw.
Big bone grafts
Big bone grafting is usually required when a person has been missing multiple teeth for an extended period of time and has experienced significant bone loss. In these instances, bone granules are not sufficient and a block of bone needs to be acquired. The block of bone will be inserted with screws or plates. This type of bone graft takes much longer to heal than a little or medium graft.
A Sinus Lift For Dental Implants
When you do not have enough tissue in your upper jaw to support dental implants, a sinus lift will need to be performed because your sinuses are situated just above your upper teeth. During a sinus lift, the sinus membrane is lifted from the sinus walls so that the bone can be inserted between your sinus floor and membrane. A collagen membrane is used for protection while you heal from the surgery.
A sinus lift takes at least four months of healing before your dental implant surgery can go ahead.
What Can You Expect After The Bone Graft Procedure?
It is quite normal to experience some swelling and bruising after a bone graft procedure. There may be some bleeding and general discomfort but these symptoms should improve in the days following your procedure.
The most accurate way to know whether you need a bone graft for dental implant is to speak to an expert. Contact Serenity Smiles Dental today to find out more about an assessment: (02) 9158 6753.

Kimmie Pringle, MD, an Epidemic Intelligence Service officer with the CDC and board-certified emergency medicine physician, began a 4-week rotation in Sierra Leone on the morning of Sept. 24. In this five-part series, which began Sunday, she describes her experiences as they happened.
Pringle's mission, along with 11 CDC colleagues, was to track the spread of the Ebola virus and to break the chain of transmission between contacts. This meant traveling to isolated villages where foreign healthcare workers were not always welcome, accepting heart-breaking decisions to keep staff and patients safe, and leaving far sooner than she would have liked.
From the moment Pringle's journey began, she never stopped trying to understand the harsh, beautiful, and complicated world she'd stepped into. Pringle witnessed the anger, fear, and suspicion pervasive in parts of West Africa, particularly in regions that have experienced years of violence and loss, but still she saw hope.

A Tale of Two Treatment Centers
Oct. 5, 2014
Entering the changing tent at the international aid agency's* Ebola treatment center feels like being under a magnifying glass in direct sunlight. I'm dripping by the time I've put on my paper scrubs and black rubber boots.
The purpose of our visit is to coordinate a meeting between the district surveillance team and the international organization and ensure that there is a clear line of communication between the two. Now that the aid organization has assumed clinical care for Ebola patients, the surveillance team is worried that they may miss cases that self-present for clinical care to this site.
Our international colleagues usher us around the low-risk zone (nontreatment area of the facility), which sits next to the high-risk zone (suspected and confirmed Ebola patients). Each area is designated with a white tent (or tents) with labels and the agency's logo. There's a station to get basic supplies such as scrubs and boots, a changing tent, administrative tents holding computers, and an endless supply of water. There are three different tents to don PPE [personal protective equipment] depending on whether one will enter the suspect, probable, or confirmed case ward. Shallow ditches in the ground hold water pipes which flow from low-risk to high-risk areas to avoid intra-site contamination. We visit the ambulance triage area to identify a potential location where Christopher, the district surveillance officer, can collect names of patients from Kenema admitted here.
I sense that the Kenema district employees still feel threatened given the financial power of this organization. But the international agency reassures Christopher that they have no intention to take over surveillance and will offer manpower and logistical support, but that their focus is clinical care. I believe them.
Christopher seemed satisfied with the results, and we return to the changing tent. The heat intensifies as I walk into the tent and remove the paper scrubs. I drop my boots through a hole in the wall into a large bucket filled with bleach, and then leave through the exit path marked by the orange mesh gates to the designated chlorine sprayer. The final stop is to wash my hands with bleach. The entry and exit procedures are specific and enforced. I appreciated their attention to detail.
I jump in the car and direct the air conditioning towards my face as we drive back to Kenema Government Hospital (KGH).
To the relief of many (including hospital staff), when I first arrived at KGH it was shutting down all Ebola care. An international aid organization had opened a hospital and had enough space to care for Kenema patients. But as the Ebola epidemic spread across the country towards more populous areas, the agency's bed capacity was quickly reached with transfers coming from Freetown, 4.5 to 5.5 hours away, daily.
Now Kenema's patients have nowhere to go. After much debate, it was decided that KGH would supplement the international organizations and reopen as an Ebola Holding Center (or Suspect Ward) only. While few cases were present in Kenema, I did not worry too much.
KGH is shaped with like an "E." Dogs run through the wards, women with buckets of bread and fried meat sell to patients, family members do laundry in the courtyard, and child laborers roam the halls with bags of water and soda.
It's an open hospital, and there is no control of who enters, when or why. This system is encouraged by the lack of infrastructure found at any public hospital in low- and middle-income countries where it is expected that the family feeds, bathes, and provides basic needs for patients.
If you drew a fourth arm out of the "E" on the very end, parallel to the road entering the hospital, this is where you find the Ebola Holding Center.
Now, after several weeks of success, Kenema is experiencing a surge of cases. The surveillance team identified three clusters and the index cases all from outside of Kenema District: one imported case, who avoided the ambulance by taking a motorcycle on back roads from a different district; the second, a pastor who contracted Ebola while officiating at a funeral in another district; and the third, an individual with an international relationship.
Three separate villages, like fireworks launching in the air and then exploding into multiple tiny parts. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. One case quickly erupted into many, scattering to nearby villages. Movement among the people here is fluid and the family unit is held sacred. Traditional burials occurred in all three villages, not necessarily on the index case, but on secondary cases.
With this surge, I worry about the remaining healthcare workers at KGH. Just as it would not be fair to compare my infectious disease knowledge to that of a fellowship-trained infectious disease doctor, I feel comparing these internationally managed Ebola specialty hospitals with the public hospital in Kenema is equally unfair.
The international Ebola treatment centers are built with intentional design placing major emphasis on preventing nosocomial transmission. Suspects and confirmed patients are kept in different tents, the number of patients seen scales up gradually as staff become comfortable, water drainage with careful piping outline each section of the Ebola Care Center. Kenema Government Hospital is not afforded this luxury. It's built to see all comers, not just Ebola patients.
Besides the physical structure of buildings, systemic issues in case management remain at KGH. Many staff appear unmotivated, which results in inefficiency in managing the suspect ward. Their indifference may have initially kept them alive, as the hospital leadership and those most involved in care in the early months, over 50 people in total (more than 10% of all hospital staff), have died.
Currently, patients have been left in the Suspect Ward positive for days. When they become critical, then the alarm sounds and they are moved to the international aid hospitals, often to die within the first few hours of arrival.
However, the staff face challenges beyond their control. At the Ebola Holding Centers where "suspect" cases go, testing requires some patients to spend prolonged periods of time there. For the PCR test to rule out Ebola, the person must have symptoms for 3 days. Therefore, someone showing up on the first day of symptoms will be tested, but if negative must wait an additional 2 days in the Ebola Holding Center for a second test. Currently, development of a rapid test is underway. Patients reporting to KGH have started to give false names and contact information. This prevents us from tracking their lab results to know who is positive.
Clinical management is intimately related to the surveillance effort, and weak clinical management makes the elimination of Ebola in Kenema impossible due to nosocomial transmission. Having an accurate census is paramount for our surveillance officers. Secondly, we need to know who is positive and their community for obvious reasons.
The surveillance pillar is so strong here, however, that I'm confident we will catch cases in the community.
Now, we support clinical management by helping them to maintain an accurate census, quickly identify positive and negative patients and arrange the appropriate transfers and discharges. However, this is difficult given we are forbidden from entering the Ebola Holding Center, so we assist at a distance.
Hope is not lost in Kenema, but interacting with case management feels a bit like walking in mud. Deep mud.
This five-part series began Sunday.

Body Never Lies - The Lingering Effects of Cruel Parenting
New York: W.W. Norton &
World-renowned therapist Alice Miller has
devoted a lifetime to studying the cruelties inflicted on children. In
The Body Never Lies Miller goes further, investigating the long-range
consequences of childhood abuse on the adult body.
Using numerous case histories gleaned from her practice, as well as
examining the biographical stories of celebrated writers such as
Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf, Friedrich Nietzsche, and others, Miller
shows how a child's emotional traumas, repressed humiliation, and
bottled rage can manifest themselves as serious adult health problems.
In discussing the lives of these literary giants, Miller explores the
known or, in some cases, unknown traumas that haunted each author's
childhood. More important, Miller connects the writers' painful
childhoods with their later afflictions, which included depression,
anorexia, cancer, and even insanity.
While examining everything from parental spanking to sexual abuse and
emotional blackmail, Miller exposes the societal pressures that
converge to harm children. She explains that we have so many societal
mechanisms to prevent us from feeling anger or rage against our
parents that we tend never to confront our own feelings. To combat the
debilitating effects of such jarring and often contradictory emotions,
Miller explores the benefits of using a therapist as an
"Enlightened Witness" to reaffirm the patient's repressed
reactions to a forgotten childhood experience.
Miller also discusses how institutionalized
religion itself can contribute to the crushing guilt that prevents us
from being healthy and conscious adults. She urges society to realize
that the Fourth Commandment -"Honor thy father and thy
mother"- offers immunity to abusive parents. Indeed, she argues,
it is healthier not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical
childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and often ruined, adult
In a stirring rejection of the "Poisonous Pedagogy" that
pardons even the most brutal parenting, Miller examines the cyclical
nature of violence and abuse. Parents and guardians who abuse their
children, both physically and mentally, leave them embarrassed and
hurt. The inability of most children to properly express such feelings
causes them to perpetuate the cycle by lashing out at their family,
friends, and, above al1, their own children, who will inevitably do
Throughout The Body Never Lies, Miller offers a
calm and encouraging voice. Indeed, The Body Never Lies, through its
illuminating and provocative insight, affords us a unique
understanding of the immense healing powers of the adult self and the
Truth Will Set You Free - Overcoming Emotional Blindness and Finding
Your True Adult Self
New York: Basic Books,
Drawing on the latest research on brain
development, Miller speaks out against the increasing popularity of
childhood corporal punishment and demonstrates how spanking and other
disciplinary traumas are encoded in the brain, stunting our ability to
overcome them. Our bodies retain memories of humiliation, causing
panoply of physical ills and dangerous levels of denial. This denial,
necessary for the child's survival, leads to emotional blindness and
finally to mental barriers that cut off awareness and the ability to
learn new ways of acting. If this cycle repeats itself, the grown
child will perpetrate the same abuse on later generations, warns
In this stunning new contribution to her life's
work, Miller not only invites us to confront our own pasts, but
reveals how each of us can liberate our present as adults and as
New York: Basic Books, 1981, Paperback under the title The
Drama of the Gifted Child, in UK, The Drama of Being a Child.
The common bond unifying the three studies in
this volume is a concern with the factors operative in loss of
the self and the routes leading towards the achievement of true
identity, The Drama of the Gifted Child (and "gifted"
here means "sensitive", "aware") has its roots in
an intuitive apprehension of the parents' needs by the child at a very
early stage. The child adapts to those needs by learning not to feel
his most intense feelings, once he has realized that those
feelings are considered undesirable. Although these
"prohibited" feelings cannot always be avoided at a later
stage, they remain split off. This means that the most vital part of
the true self is not integrated into the personality. The result is
emotional insecurity and impoverishment (loss of self), either
expressed in the form of depression or fended off via
grandiosity. The examples cited sensitize us to the mute,
inarticulate suffering of the child and help us to penetrate the
idealizations serving to conceal that suffering. It also opens our
eyes to the tragedy of the parents; their unavailability and
inaccessibility prove to be the fruit of their availability as
Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-rearing and the Roots of Violence
New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1990.
In this book, Alice Miller opens our eyes to the
devastating effects of education and care purporting to have the
"child's best interests" in mind. She does this first by
analyzing what she calls the "pedagogic approach", and
secondly by describing the childhood of a drug addict, a political
leader (Adolf Hitler), and a child-murderer.
Her book succeeds in conveying not just factual
(and hence uninvolving) information, but also an emotional awareness
of the way in which psychoses, drug addiction, and crime represent a
deferred and indirect expression of experiences undergone in early
infancy. For a child to develop naturally, she needs respect from her
caregivers, tolerance for her feelings, awareness of her needs and
sensibilities, and authenticity on the part of her parents. This
authenticity manifests itself in an upbringing style in which it is
the personal freedom of the parents - and not educational dogma - that
imposes natural limits of the child.
Tu Propio Bien (Spanish Edition)
Barcelona: Tusquets, 1998
Shalt Not Be Aware: Society's Betrayal of the Child
New York: Farrar, Straus and
Child abuse is beginning to be recognized as
something more significant than an isolated family affair. The title
of this book, first published in Germany in 1981, spells out the
unspoken commandment that such abused children - indeed, all of us -
have been obeying since early childhood. We have all been made to feel
from our earliest days that we are to blame for anything
shameful that happens to us, so that our awareness of these inflicted
Alice Miller demonstrates that this
centuries-old tradition also finds expression in Freud's notions of
the "Oedipus complex" and "infantile sexuality" -
his drive theory - which put the blame on the child. Freud maintained
that his patients who claimed to have been sexually molested as
children were only "fantasizing" as a defense against their
own sexual desires for their innocent parents. This theory helped to
conceal the fact that sexual abuse of children occurs frequently and
results in later emotional disturbances in the victims of such abuse -
because they are not allowed awareness of it.
In fairy tales, works of literature, and dreams,
Alice Miller maintains, the truth about childhood can emerge,
precisely because it is not recognized as such. Detailed examples from
Kafka, Flaubert, Beckett, and Virginia Woolf offer proof of her thesis
and illustrate her understanding of human creativity.
of a Childhood
New York, Penguin USA, new edition 1996.
In Pictures of a Childhood, Alice MiIler
explores the connection between childhood and that creative activity
which "somehow permits us to give form to the chaos within and
thereby master our anxiety."
Having realized in the early seventies a
lifelong desire to paint, Dr. Miller found an unfamiliar world
emerging from her paintings: not the "nice" world of her
childhood, to which she had always testified, but one of fear, despair
Meditating on her spontaneously executed
watercolors - sixty-six of which are reproduced here in full color -
and their implications, Dr. Miller offers an analysis of the roots of
creativity in the authentic self's struggle for survival.
Untouched Key: Tracing Childhood Trauma in Creativity and
New York: Anchor-Press, 1992
As in her former books, Alice Miller again
focuses on facts. She is as determined as ever to cut through the veil
that, for thousands of years now, has been so meticulously woven to
shroud the truth. And when she lifts that veil and brushes it aside,
the results are astonishing, as is amply demonstrated by her analyses
of the works of Nietzsche, Picasso, Kollwicz, Keaton and others. With
the key shunned by so many for so long - childhood - she opens rusty
locks and offers her readers a wealth of unexpected perspectives.
What did Picasso express in
"Guernica"? Why did Buster Keaton never smile? Why did
Nietzsche heap so much opprobrium on women and religion, and lose his
mind for eleven years? Why did Hitler and Stalin become tyrannical
mass murderers? Alice Miller investigates these and other questions
thoroughly in this book. She draws from her discoveries the conclusion
that human beings are not "innately" destructive, that they
are made that way by ignorance, abuse, and neglect, particularly if no
sympathetic witness comes to their aid. She also shows why some
mistreated children do not become criminals but instead bear witness
as artists to the truth about their childhoods, even though in purely
intuitive and unconscious ways.
It is Dr. Miller's goal to encourage these
sympathetic witnesses, to lend them support, and to inform them about
the world-wide and ignored plight of children, for she thinks that
only by confronting the truth that has been avoided from time
immemorial can human beings be saved from blind destruction and
self-destruction. This discovery is eloquently illustrated in the last
section of The Untouched Key, wherein the story of Abraham
and Isaac and the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes" are
retold to reveal their profound meaning.
Knowledge: Facing Childhood Injuries
New York: Anchor-Press, new edition 1997.
Cruelty to a "bad child" will make
that child into a bad adult and later create a bad world, unless an
enlightened witness comes to the rescue. A child respected and taken
seriously will create a different world; our biological mission is not
to destroy, but to protect human life. "It is not true that evil,
destructiveness, and perversion inevitably form part of human
existence, no matter how often this is maintained. But it is true that
we are daily producing evil and, with it, an ocean of suffering for
millions that is absolutely avoidable. When one day the ignorance
arising from childhood repression is eliminated and humanity has
awakened, an end can be put to this production of evil." (Alice
Miller, Banished Knowledge).
Down the Wall of Silence
New York: Penguin USA, new edition 1997.
Psychohistorical analyses of such brutal tyrants
as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Nicolae Ceausescu show the obvious
links between the horrors of their childhoods and the horror they
inflicted on the world.
Dr. Miller pleads for a course of remembrance
and recognition on the part of the victim, and for awareness and
condemnation of child abuse on the part of society. She advocates
getting access to and articulating long-denied emotions so that
healing may take place. In her extensive new preface for this edition,
Alice Miller discusses the increasing attention being paid to
childhood abuse since the book's original publication. She also
reveals personal details about her own life that explain her special
interest in childhood and emotional growth, the kind of growth that
can encourage survivors to face the truth and to heal, thereby
preventing future abuse from taking place.
Drama of the Gifted Child
New York: Basic Books, new edition, revised and updated, 1997.
The first publication of The Drama of the
Gifted Child (1979) and of this book are separated by fifteen
years of experience - the author's experience with her own
self-therapy and with other recent therapy methods, and finally her
knowledge of the life histories of the several thousand readers who
have written to her. The research into childhood she has undertaken in
this period has led to a further fine-tuning of her earlier findings,
as is documented and illustrated here with an abundance of examples.
The author examines the consequences of
repression at the personal and social level, the causes of the
physical and psychological harm done to children and how this can be
prevented, and finally the new methods at our disposal for dealing
with the consequences of infant traumas.
Drama del Nino Dotado (Spanish translation)
Barcelona: Tusquets, 2009
of Life: Seven Scenarios
New York: Pantheon Books, 1998.
Here are seven "life stories" of
characters who, in recounting their lives to one another, invite us to
think back over our own lives and see what has formed us and how we
may yet become free.
How do our first experiences of pain and love
affect our future? This is the key question. Alice Miller shows us
people who have suffered great loneliness in childhood and who now, in
adulthood, despite their yearnings for contact and communication, are
still trapped in inner isolation. But encounters with others who had
the good fortune to grow up in loving families open them to new worlds
in which they too can learn to change.
As we watch, some manage to speak the truth, to
free themselves of old fears and defensive myths, to trust. The
luckiest come to love and be loved-by partners, friends, and their own
children, whom they can then free from the curse of having to relive
their parents' inner traumas.
of Life: Six Case Histories
New York: Basic Books, 2008.
Several poignant scenarios and two essays of reflection focus on a
range of issues - from birth, motherhood, and partnership to hatred,
cults, and the Holocaust. In this updated tenth anniversary edition,
Alice Miller offers new reflections on the transformative power of
Rage to Courage: Answers to Readers' Letters
New York: W.W. Norton & Co.,
Collected for the first time, Alice Millerís most helpful,
therapeutic, and invaluable answers to hundreds of readersí letters.

New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 2009.
Practical and perceptive, Millerís work explains what we can
expect from therapy, how we can identify the causes of our own pain,
and why subconscious pain, unaddressed for decades, manifests itself
later as depression, self-mutilation, primal inadequacy, and chronic

Great Wild Elk Slot Game Review
Great Wild Elk is a slot from NextGen, set in a fantasy world where mystical creatures roam the land and elves are found on the reels. Of course, the main attraction is the great wild elk though, which stands looking majestic within a golden border. He’s pretty elusive, however when you see him you’ll almost certainly be in for some nice prizes, as he’s this slot’s wild symbol, as well as the key to getting some fantastic free spins.
This is a slot with five reels and ten paylines. This number of paylines clearly isn’t a particularly large amount, however some will prefer it, as it prevents the confusion that often comes with slots that offer huge numbers of paylines to players. You’ll have to play all of these paylines when you spin the reels, however you can alter the amount you bet per spin. The minimum amount you can bet is 0.10 coins, while the maximum is 20 coins – meaning that this slot should appeal to both low and high stakes players.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this slot is the visuals though, which beautifully transport the player to a mystical world. These are complemented by a gentle soundtrack, which only adds to this slot’s great feel. As you’ll find out, Great Wild Elk also offers some really great bonuses and features, which only serve to increase the enjoyment of this slot – as well as the prizes that can be won when you play…
The first thing to mention about the bonuses is that the great white elk is the key to most of them. Firstly, this symbol is the wild symbol, meaning that it can substitute for other symbols on the reels, however it only appears on the third reel. This means that it doesn’t play a part in winning combinations nearly as much as wild symbols do at other online slots.
When you get a combination featuring the great wild elk, you’ll also be awarded up to 10 free spins, and during these there will be something called an Enduring Win. The value of this is equal to the value of the combination you made to initiate the free spins. During the free spins, the elk is held in position on the third reel, plus any trees appearing on the reels will award a prize equal to the Enduring Win amount. What’s more, getting wins using the elk during free games will cause the value of the Enduring Win to rise. When the free spins are finished, there will be a respin, and only scatter wins and Enduring Wins are awarded. Getting a prize on the respin will lead to another respin being awarded, and the bonus will end when a respin yields no prize.
There’s also a feature called the Elk’s Light Feature to mention, and this sees one of the rune symbols occasionally turn into an elf, spirit, eagle, squirrel or snake before the spin starts. This can then lead to prizes once the reels stop spinning.
The final thing to mention is that this slot has a Gamble feature. Simply correctly guess the colour of the next card to double your prize, or the suit of the next card to quadruple your prize.
Great Wild Elk is a really original slot, and most players should really enjoy the fantastic features that it offers. With a great theme and some fantastic prizes also on offer, this is a slot that really does deliver on all levels.

The low and mid-range tablet market is largely dominated by Android powered devices that are manufactured by a myriad of companies. Some of these tablets are only released in specific regions, whereas others are available in major markets such as the U.S. Huawei, a Chinese manufacturer, has now announced the MediaPad 7 Youth tablet that runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Its a mid-range tablet with a decent power package.
The Huawei MediaPad 7 Youth is just 9.9mm thin and weighs 350 grams. It has an aluminium unibody design, upfront there’s a 1280×800 7 inch display, nothing too extraordinary. It has a 1.6GHz dualcore processor, presumably 1GB of RAM, Wi-FI and HSPA+. Powering it all is a 4,100 mAh battery. Huawei says that the tablet is “ideal for young people.” The company will be launching MediaPad 7 Youth this quarter in Europe, including Russia, as well as in the Middle East and Asia Pacific. China will obviously get the tablet as well. No word as yet on the possibility of it being launched in the U.S. No pricing details have been revealed just yet, but one can expect it to be well below $300.

A Volunteer’s Story
A chill wind blows through the Calais site; the sky is leaden and threatens rain. We leave the car and follow behind a seasoned volunteer; earlier he had found a small group of young lads who had lost their meagre bedding during a CRS raid the night before.
Negotiating the broken concrete, we slip through a broken wire fence and enter the wood. Small trails lead through the dirt. I become aware of more and more people passing us, their heads down, shoulders hunched against the cold, there is a palpable sense of despair. We stop one young man. “Do you need anything?” We offer a sleeping bag. “Thank you.”
So this is how it starts. A small boy, 10 years old, appears. I look into a face that has seen too much too young. I think, ‘… you should be at home annoying your parents with your playstation and demands for Christmas presents; but instead you are alone in this dreadful place asking me for a jacket.’ I give him mine – so what? I can always get another. It’s too big for him and probably later he will swop it for a better one … doesn’t matter he has learnt to survive.
A couple approach us, the man’s face bearing appalling scars from old beatings. His wife shivers uncontrollably. Off come my gloves; now at least she has warm hands. I take a big scarf and wrap it around her head and shoulders. I had feared that an act of giving might feel somehow condescending – the privileged benevolently giving tokens, but this is pure instinct and there is no justifiable reason not to show compassion. My first experience of Calais feels like walking on to the set of a post apocalyptic movie – except this is reality in Europe in 2017.
I have been working with an Association in South West France, we collect aid for refugee families seeking asylum there. That aid can be anything from providing furniture to finding legal and medical advice. We stand beside them through the long process until they are able to take charge of their own lives, an ambition we all share. We watch them integrate, see their children flourish at school making friends and learning the language. It would have been easier to remain at this end of the process, but I had a strong desire to witness and bear witness to the other reality – the lost ones.
I had heard about ‘Care4calais’ and the work Clare and her team were doing and had visited the web site. They appeared to be a cheerful pro-active group doing good things in a difficult situation. But now I know they are so much more than that. They are personally and collectively committed to helping; some have put their other lives on hold because they cannot turn their backs. Every day they are working to take vital aid to strangers of all ages and ethnicity. They look into faces worn down by exhaustion. They cope emotionally with having to say, “Sorry we haven’t anymore today – but we will come back.”
So if you are reading this and wondering if you should contribute – follow your instinct, send a donation, offer help, volunteer in any way you are able. I am a hard bitten old cynic actually so what surprised me most was that, of all the emotions this experience could have produced – compassion, sympathy, fear – all I felt was love, and it is a good feeling.
– written by a volunteer

The Centre for Econics and Ecosystem Management has contributed to the establishment of the
and is one of its co-implementers on behalf of Eberswalde University for Sustainable development.
Biosphere reserves are learning sites for sustainable development. Most biosphere reserves (currently 669 in 120 countries) are internationally recognised under the Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) in its World Network of Biosphere Reserves (WNBR). Under the UNESCO Statutory Framework biosphere reserves fulfil three interconnected functions (UNESCO 1996):
- Conservation - contribute to the conservation of landscapes, ecosystems, species and genetic variation;
- Development - foster economic and human development which is socio-culturally and ecologically sustainable;
- Logistic support - support for demonstration projects, environmental education and training, research and monitoring related to local, regional, national and global issues of conservation and sustainable development.
We consider biosphere reserves a very integrative and holistic conservation approach that conforms well with the idea of ecosystem-based management and change adaptation. In our work with biosphere reserves we pursue a multi-stakeholder approach with particular emphasis on the involvement of local communities in planning and management. Further, biosphere reserves can play an important role for the realisation of transboundary biodiversity conservation as our projects in the Altai Mountains and the Korean Peninsula show.

Like many celebrities hoping to break into fashion, Avril Lavigne partnered with a big national retailer when she launched her Abbey Dawn clothing line in 2008. Just two years later, though, the business-savvy pop star and Kohl's ended their relationship, and Lavigne set out to build a global apparel company. Her new e-commerce store represents the latest addition to Lavigne's brand marketing empire, which also includes two fragrances, Black Star and Forbidden Rose.
Lavigne launched her new business, AbbeyDawn.com, last December, and its apparel is available in more than 50 countries. The site features rocker-chic T-shirts, tanks, and hoodies with bold graphics and bright colors. Some items are emblazoned with the titles of Lavigne's recent singles, "Smile" and "What the Hell." Lavigne, whose San Diego company has 33 employees, says she is "deeply involved" in every step of the design process. "The brand reflects my own style, so nothing goes on the shelves that I wouldn't wear myself," she says. This month, the pop star, who recently wrapped up a three-week concert tour in Asia, will unveil a full spring 2012 collection at Bread & Butter, an apparel trade show in Berlin. In the next year, she plans to expand into new categories, such as footwear and denim. "Our main goal right now is to make our clothes available to fans all over the world," Lavigne says. "When I see girls wearing Abbey Dawn, it's awesome."

Not Everyone Loves Oprah
After 25 years on the air, Oprah’s very last episode of her daily talk show is airing today. It is the end of an era for a show that’s redefined media and transformed television. And I for one am not going to miss Oprah Winfrey at all.
First of all, she is not going anywhere. Did any of you really take Jay-Z seriously when he announced he was retiring from the studio a few years ago? It’s the same thing for me now. And while the end of her daily show marks the end of a cultural era, not only is Oprah not retiring, she is not even retreating from the massive platform she’s built for herself over the past few decades.
Oprah will move on to her eponymous cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network, which creates a deliciously appropriate acronym. Instead of just one hour of television a day, she will help program 24 hours of it. It will never be the same as her daily talk show, I know. But she will continue to publish her magazine, the covers of which she graces every month. Her daytime talk show may be over, but she will continue to be an omnipotent cultural presence. She will continue to make headlines every time she exhales, and every other time she’s seen cavorting with her best friend Gayle King.
Oprah is so firmly enmeshed in the cultural firmament that I don’t know how anyone could miss her. I myself was raised on a steady diet of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in a family of Oprah devotees, and even though I stopped watching the show regularly years ago, I find it impossible to escape her reach.
I can rattle off the most obscure Oprah trivia, details that have nothing to do with her show or the broad themes of her life’s work. How often do Oprah and Gayle talk on the phone? Who designed the hand stitched gold dress Oprah wore on the cover of O Magazine’s fifth anniversary issue? What’s Oprah’s favorite color? Who was Oprah’s teen crush? Answers: At least an hour every day, Narciso Rodriguez, sage green and Jackie Jackson of the Jackson 5.
I remember being on a date and unselfconsciously talking about Oprah like she and I were well-acquainted friends, and being a little surprised that not everyone knew Oprah the way I did. I’ve often mistaken my familiarity with Oprah for affection. But in truth I am both drawn to and ambivalent about her, and that is probably the real reason why I will not miss her talk show.
I’ve been disappointed plenty—I consider my ability to feel let down by Oprah (as well as the fact that it feels unnatural to call her anything but her first name) further proof of the intimacy she’s cultivated with her audience. I remember the “Diabetes: America’s Silent Killer” episode she did last year with Dr. Mehmet Oz, about how the disease plays out in the black community. The show was so irresponsible it felt offensive.
“Diabetes is a ticking time bomb,” Oprah said gravely during the introduction. “It’s a silent killer. It’s annihilating the African-American community. Literally, killing almost 100 of us every single day, in the African-American community.”
“It’s time to get out of denial.”
All true: Diabetes does indeed impact a disproportionate number of black Americans, who are both more likely to contract it and more likely to die from it. But in Oprah’s telling, the solution wasn’t fixing food deserts or increasing access to preventive health care or building parks in urban neighborhoods or any of those boring things. Rather, the epidemic calls for a healthy dose of shaming.
So After Dr. Oz led the audience through a thorough introduction on the ravages of diabetes, Oprah took viewers to Dayton, Ohio, to meet some black church ladies. Viewers watched as the women served up one of their typical post-service meals of fried chicken and meatloaf, and a table of heavy sides. They’d written to the show about their collective weight issues, Oprah said.
Oprah then staged an intervention and sent the women to a boot camp of sorts to get them motivated about changing their lifestyle. When the video segment was over, Oprah turned to the women, now seated in her studio audience, some dressed in their Sunday finery, and clucked her tongue at them, scolding them for being lazy about exercise and stubborn about their diet. It made me so angry to see these women brought from their homes to be shamed on national television.
It felt especially unfair to see Oprah lay into these women with a simplistic cultural criticism without discussing the structural disparities that shape people of color’s lives. One conversation is not complete without the other.
But hadn’t Oprah detailed her own long struggle with her weight and diet and with taking charge of her health? Hadn’t she partaken in her own game of public self-flagellation, and then redemption through self-acceptance? It’s a story line to which she has returned frequently, an endless recurring cycle that was as irresistible as it was exhausting.
I wince now as I remember the January 2009 cover of O Magazine, when two Oprahs stood side by side, a lean and beaming Oprah from 2005, resting an elbow on a chubbier and disappointed Oprah of 2009. The headline, “How did I let this happen again?” stung. The teaser, “Oprah on her battle with weight: a must-read for anyone who’s fallen off the wagon,” hurt to read.
I felt sad for her, and I felt sad for all the women who look up to her as they struggle to accept themselves in a culture that teaches women to hate themselves. So I felt sad for myself, too. Didn’t Oprah, a brave, powerful woman of color who revolutionized 20th century media, deserve to treat herself with more dignity than that? But then, another question: How much of Oprah’s appeal comes from the fact that she embodies women’s worst insecurities about themselves even as she exhorts women to get over it already? Does that make her human, or does it make her cynically depraved? I skipped straight to the book reviews in that issue and looked at little else.
My mom owns DVDs of Oprah’s shows, and my sister pounces every time Oprah’s magazine shows up in the mailbox. Save for a couple niche sewing magazines, my mother has subscribed to Oprah’s magazine longer than any other—and it’s still one of the only mainstream titles that consistently runs decent journalism by and about women.
I’ve peeked at a few shows on Oprah’s new network, and sat rapt during the one episode I saw with Maya Angelou on “Master Class,” an hour-long documentary style interview with an accomplished public figure. I also took a voyeuristic interest in “Season 25,” the riveting behind-the-scenes reality show of the making of Oprah’s finale season. If any of you saw that Yosemite camping episode, you know what I’m talking about. After an exhausting day of shooting mishaps out in the woods, Oprah looked at the camera and said something we didn’t see in the actual episode: “I love the outdoors. But black people don’t want to pretend they’re homeless.”
Oprah’s magnetism is difficult to pinpoint; she’s got charisma that always feels genuine even though it’s well-practiced. Still, some things we’ve become accustomed to we may never get to see again. Over the years, Oprah’s set has become a destination for celebrities’ big public statements (Ellen DeGeneres and Ricky Martin both came out on Oprah’s show, separated by a stretch of more than 10 years); public shaming and repentance (James Frey and Jonathan Plummer did both); awkward confession (Tom Cruise, all the time), and stoic shows of strength in the face of personal devastation (Maria Shriver, this week). I love seeing Oprah turn her guests to mush. I love seeing the elaborate surprises Oprah plans for everyday people, the way she orchestrates tearful reunions and 24-hour makeovers and swoops in like an actual angel to make people’s dreams come true. It is crazy making entertainment.
I believe, even on my meanest days, that Oprah’s quest for global dominance is fueled at least in part by a desire to do some good. And I do believe that she is committed to empowering women and girls, that she wants to give people hope and encourage folks to wake up to the power we all have to make change in the world. So I consume the media she creates even when I’m uncertain if I can stomach more of her self-absorption and moralizing. I am electrified and enraged by Oprah.
I could not turn away from her even if I bothered to try.

Slot machines are great fun to play and also very convenient for internet gambling. If you’ve never played online, there are some things that you should know to guarantee maximum fun and minimal risk. There are a few slot machines that are just a game of luck, although a lot of machines will also use ability concerning recognising symbols or patterns. A lot depends on what software has been used and whether it is casino or private users which are playing on the website.
You should first familiarise yourself with how a typical online slot machine functions. The reels, or wheels, rotate continuously around a central foundation that’s fixed. In the exact same time these reels may encounter other spinning objects like cups, balls, invoices and so forth. Whenever these objects come in contact with the wheels the speed of rotation of the wheels is increased and the reels stop. Whenever the reels stop spinning the outcome lucky lady charm deluxe is the minimum and maximum jackpot that may be won.
There are two forms of online slot sport paylines and chances. The possibilities paylines are known as random opportunities and are not associated with some mathematical calculations. The payout for this sort of online slot machine games relies on chance. The random taglines consist of a wide range of symbols that are either regular or diagonal. They also contain larger numbers such as 1, 2, 3 and so on.
The second kind of line is the conventional payback percentages. This sort of line relies on the conventional mathematical calculation of the casino chance of paying the full jackpot. This type of line uses real cash values rather than any arbitrary symbols. Some online slot machine games can use unique kinds of mixtures and there are a number of real money payouts associated with each combination.
Online slot machines differ from land-based casinos in other ways too. When you play slot machines at a land based casino you may look at symbols on reels that have already been spun. If you play online, you can’t see any symbols on the reels. This makes the game harder to analyze. The Internet casinos don’t have the geographical limitations of physical places.
Slots which arrive with payout levels of 100% depend on how much a person is willing to risk. People indian dreaming slot machine with good strategies can always aspire to acquire more and boost their probability of winning without risking any of their own money. Achieving success in the absence of the strategy requires a lot of discipline and patience. A good deal of individuals that are proficient at selecting which real money slot machines to play with also have a profound understanding of the odds and payout percentages. These people can double or even triple their winnings simply by sticking with one machine. They can sit and enjoy the slot machine winnings without needing to worry about losing all their own money.
In real cash games, people will need to search for symbols because these symbols give away information about the next number that will be spun. In online slots, symbols are offered by the random number generators. These random number generators determine what symbols twist and where the symbols are on the reels. Sometimes, symbols may not offer clear selections and other times they might appear to show certain symbols.
Slots that rely on actual money values are a lot easier to analyze and forecast. The payout percentages and figures provided by the random number generators are more precise. In internet slot games, however, no statistic or calculation can tell you what a specific number or symbol signifies. This is the main reason players occasionally call a spade when it comes to slot games. You simply need to play online slot games and choose yourself which game is for you.

What does chicken symbolize in the Bible?
The hen symbolizes ideal maternal love and Christian love: she is self-sacrificing, nurturing, protective, and comforting. The chicks, who like human youngsters are precious though inclined to be errant, symbolize the Hebrew people as Jesus is portrayed as having viewed them with respect to his mission.
What word is mentioned more in the Bible?
The number 1 word is “Lord” (this includes both the upper case “Lord”, which refers to God and the lower case “lord”, which would refer to a someone’s superior), with 7,759 occurrences, followed by God, at number 2, with 3,977 occurrences.
Is Chicken forbidden in the Bible?
For example, the Bible does not prescribe ritual slaughter of animals, yet this practice has taken on the same compulsion as the taboo on pigs and camels. A permitted food (e.g., cattle, chicken) that has not been ritually slaughtered is considered to be as defiling as pork.
Is there any mention of chickens in the Bible?
A barnyard fowl of any age. The record is to be found in the books of the disciples, but Jesus is responsible for the only direct mention of chickens in the Bible.
What is the meaning of chik in the Bible?
chik’-‘-n, chik’-in (Anglo-Saxon, cicen or cycen; Latin, Gallus ferrugineus; alektruon, masculine and fem.): A barnyard fowl of any age. The record is to be found in the books of the disciples, but Jesus is responsible for the only direct mention of chickens in the Bible.
How many times does a word appear in each version of Bible?
The grammar, structure, and style of those languages are very different from English, and a literal word-for-word translation is not possible. Therefore, the number of times a particular word appears is usually different for each version of the Bible.
What does the Bible say about roosters?
And He said, “I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.” His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. And a king when his army is with him.

Beth Hughes, Platon Issaias
Refugees on an Island of Exiles
On January 20, 2014 Fadi Mohamed, a teacher and displaced individual from Afghanistan stood still in the concrete peer of an island he didn’t know the name of. The island is Leros, Greece. In a video issued by Greek NGOs, he seems lost and stays silent the entire time coast guard officers wearing surgical masks and gloves deliver protein cans and water bottles to him and a few others on the peer. Fadi had just lost his wife and three children, when Gönzuru, the small fishing boat that was carrying them from the Turkish shore to Greek territory and the ‘safety’ of European soil capsized near the island of Farmakonisi, 12 nautical miles northeast of Leros.
In total 11 Afghan civilians, 8 of them children under the age of 12, died that day.
In a press conference that followed on January 25 in Athens, the 16 survivors overwhelmingly blamed the Greek maritime security force for this tragedy. Together with many Greek and European NGOs, Amnesty International argued that there was sufficient evidence to bring this case to court, or at least to further investigate serious human rights violations that took place in the cold, wintry waters of the Aegean Sea.
The migrants claimed that the coast guard not only did not help, but caused their already sinking boat to capsize when attempting to tow them back to Turkish waters at high speed. They also testified under oath that the coast guard, when realising that the vessel was rapidly sinking, cut the rope and let them to drown. Only after stronger migrants fought back and started climbing onto the coast guard boat, did they start rescuing survivors from the water. They also reported that coast guard officers fired in the air and pushed and kicked people away from the rescue boat (1).
With an area smaller than 4km2 and with a population of 10 people, according to the 2011 population survey, Farmakonisi belongs to the Leros municipality. The entire municipality includes mostly unpopulated islands, and covering an area of 74 km2 its total population is 7,900 people. Like the entire Dodecanese cluster of islands and the Turkish coast on the other side of the sea, it’s heavily militarised. The small army unit, stationed on a 10-day rota on Farmakonisi’s isolated grounds, belongs to the special forces engineering regiment located in Partheni, a camp in the north of Leros island. Partheni is one of the most notorious military installations in Greece, a ground marked by postwar political conflicts — a space of displacement, incarceration and torture.
During the 1967-74 dictatorship, left-wing citizens were exiled in Leros as political prisoners. Detained across the island these men and women experienced an institutional violence occurring within a rather peculiar architecture. White, rather simple, rationalist private buildings, properly designed public infrastructure that included among others a market, a generous theatre, a church, two schools and a tower clock, organised a regular yet exotic township. Large military barracks were scattered opposite of the town and the camp of Partheni, with their facades often covered by characteristically large letters and their interiors full of Fascist, Nazi and Greek nationalist propaganda and wall paintings, some dating from the 1930s.
Before arriving to Leros, the exiled would have heard of the Royal Technical School that operated in Lakki between 1949 and 1964. Moreover, they were likely to know of another equally notorious facility, the psychiatric hospital. In any case, its distributed facilities would have been unmissable when entering the Lakki bay by boat.
The camp in Partheni and the little town of Lakki were designed and built during Mussolini’s Fascist regime, when the Dodecanese islands were part of the Italian sovereign territory. Between 1912 and 1943, Leros was one of its most precious military stations in the Eastern Mediterranean, with its heavy artillery and well-protected, hidden port of Lakki, or Portolago as Italians called it, becoming a myth in itself between naval officers, pilots, commandos, paratroopers and spies on all sides (2). Famously, Leros was one of Winston Churchill’s obsessions in his attempt to intensify and to further expand British colonial rule in the East Mediterranean (3). In his plans, the deep, natural port of Lakki/Portolago was considered an essential asset for the Royal Navy in an attempt to destabilise a post-WWII Turkey and eventually control the waters from Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles to the port of Haifa and the Suez Canal.
Back in the early hours of January 20, 2014, the coast guard departed from Aghia Marina, Leros’ main port. This was the first European soil the 16 devastated, freezing refugees stepped on. Refugees on an island of exiles.
More than four years later, in the spring of 2018, more than 1,000 people are kept in the so-called ‘Leros hotspot’, or ‘hospitality centre’ as the Greek government calls temporary refugee camps. Two different prefabricated unit types, organised in a series of streets on a regular grid system and confined within a perimeter of a barbed-wire fence, are placed in a large open field defined by two large 1930s abandoned buildings. In one of them, one can still read the large painted letters, now fainting: ‘Caserma Avieri’ (aviators barracks). The camp is enclosed by the coastal road of Lakki and the southwest limit of one of the three sites of the Psychiatric Department of Leros Hospital, known as the ‘villas’.
This essay presents the key findings of a research project that started in early 2014 into architecture and urban form in light of contemporary militant institutional analysis, mental healthcare and political history. Leros’ politicised and traumatic existence has been defined by its service under various regimes. The project focuses on the last century, from the Italian occupation of 1912-1943 until today, covering a rather neglected case of Italian Rationalist architecture, namely the plan of the town of Lakki/Portolago. The project follows the transformation of the infrastructure built by the Italian fascist administration, to notorious mental healthcare facilities, camps for political prisoners and violently displaced children from mainland Greece, to current occupation as detention centres for refugees. Leros is a living testimony of all military, security and disciplinary apparatuses deployed by the Geek state since the end of WWII. The brutality and unprecedented violence of displacement, confinement and bodily restriction exists within an idealised colonial architecture that celebrated a mystified, Fascist pan-‘Mediterraneanism’. It’s a space and an exemplary landscape defined by water, geography and the south-eastern Mediterranean environment, and yet it performs a series of rather different functions — or not?
The essay addresses a series of questions that frame the research project, investigating the role and agency of architecture in processes of institutionalisation, de-institutionalisation and subjectification in Leros, especially the Rationalist town of Lakki/Portolago (4). What kind of architecture accommodates military, security and mental healthcare institutions? What kinds of relations exist between these institutions and their architectures? Most importantly, how does the particular military set up of the town, the masterplan, and singular buildings organise social relations, employment and an entire ecology of detention, confinement and care? Finally, what is the role of mental healthcare protocols in the development of cities and towns? (5)
The presence and influence of Felix Guattari in the de-institutionalisation process of the Leros Psychiatric facility in the early 1990s makes it an extremely interesting case study for how radical psychiatry confronted what Felix Guattari called ‘a real psychiatric prison, a concentration camp, without the presence of any medical staff, not even a psychiatrist’ (6), when he visited the island in 1991 during ongoing attempts to reform the globally disgraced institution.
The Plan And the Objects
Today a continuous crust of urbanisation encircles the waist of the island of Leros, barnacled to the sides of its deep bays and harbours. The remaining two-thirds of the island are somehow imperceptible, unknown and inaccessible, annexed from the central population due to large military bases and infrastructure. This unusual configuration creates uneasy contrast to the typical archipelago tropes of seaside and hilltop villages scattered across dry island landscapes, quietly hosting small, contained communities. This agglomeration appears more as a mainland urban development, like the start of a city or campus. The island’s vernacular is swamped by large infrastructures for military, marine and healthcare systems – housing filling in the patches between the institutions on the campus. This anomaly is not an accident but rather a clear function of the planning and urban development strategies of the Italian occupation that established a clear demarcation of rank, ownership and class across the island and, through extensive programmes of expropriation and redistribution of land, built this rigid hierarchy into the territory. The concentration of these activities is around the bay of Lakki, formerly known as Portolago. Agricultural redistribution and the extensive militarisation of the island pressured the remaining ‘traditional’ fabric into the thin stretch between the harbour and remaining infrastructures.
The peculiarity deepens as one enters the harbour of Lakki. Four large and imposing naval barracks flanking one side as ferries, boats and yachts dock at the most peculiar of all villages in the Dodecanese, perhaps the Mediterranean. Planned around the gentle curve of the harbour, with an axial plan that mirrors the curve of the bay, this small township that can be traversed in minutes, is a unique and much overlooked exemplar of Rationalist Italian architecture.
An experiment in planning, imagined as the model village, and a strategic eastern out-post of a failed colonial power, Lakki, and Leros, harbour a far more complex history than their modest size and reputation indicate. The village carefully positions subtly designed institutional and civic edifices (theatre, casa del fascio, school, church and market) in a considered plan, to support rows of prototypical villas along curvilinear streets. This architecture from the Italian occupation is a exceptional form of architecture and planning, foreign to the traditional vernacular of other islands or the adopted neo-classical vernacular prevalent in the Dodecanese. Yet, these strange objects operate beautifully in the climate, settle perfectly in the weather and conjure a calm ease of occupation. The elegance of the architecture belies the sinister history that is palpable in the strange urban forms, the large military infrastructures and the model town on a forgotten Greek island.
Prior to the Italian occupation of 1912, Leros was one of the more obscure islands of the Dodecanese. Owned in the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, Leros was in a strange cultural limbo and existed relatively autonomously under Ottoman rule. In the resolution of WWI and many exchanges of land across Europe and the Mediterranean, Leros, as with all the Dodecanese, came under Italian control. Italy’s occupation of the Dodecanese emerged out of unrest in its northern African colonies and in an effort to shore up and advance its power, Italy pressed into the Greek archipelago wresting control of the islands from the Ottomans. During the first half of this period, Italy’s claim is tenuous and reinforced through military presence.
Leros, with the deep natural harbour of Lakki/Portolago became Mussolini’s focus for launching his naval operations for the domination of the eastern Mediterranean. It became the centre for a strategic plan of a new state-empire, with a forceful Italian presence on the island as early as 1923 with the establishment of the airbase in Lepida. Central to all of Mussolini’s strategies for the construction of his state and his legacy was architecture. Fashioning himself as the master-builder of a new empire, Mussolini sought to immortalise power, control and might through the physical construction of a new architecture and environment. The beautiful village of Lakki, as alien as it is, is now settled in a distinctly Greek culture, is an experiment in this construction of a state image — the model town. But the architecture and the planning of the harbour is more than just about symbolic power, it is rather an entire ecology, an infrastructure of buildings and services and policy and economic frameworks that sustain a system dependent on processes of control and detainment, supporting a perpetual cycle of exile.
Historic archives of Leros and Rhodes include extensive bathometry and mapping from the Italians, recording the ideal strategic location and natural formation of Leros’ harbour. The harbour becomes the focus of infrastructural and civic efforts, with residential, public and medical structures on one side, and naval on the other. To complement the nautical strength in the south, an airstrip and military base secure the northern half of the island in Partheni. To this day, now used by Greek forces, this area is annexed and hidden from the rest of the island, with one road in and out of a controlled territory. This has stunted all urban development on the northern half of the island, forcing all civilian life to the southern side. These two poles of defence are networked and reinforced through an elaborate system of defences and tunnels, built by the Italians during their 32-year occupation.
The Italian occupation of the Dodecanese can be characterised by two phases. In the first phase (1912-1923), Italian control is imposed through military processes and presence, in which Italy’s ownership of the territory is ambiguous and not officially recognised. During this period the key building project is the airport in 1923 in Partheni on the northern edge of the island, giving consistent and expedient access to the island for the Italian military and personnel. Following the official absorption of the Dodecanese into fascist Italy, the region becomes formally known as the Italian Aegean Islands. This latter phase of the Italian occupation of the island, 1923-1943, is characterised by a fervent ‘Italianisation’ and a shift from military rule to political rule.
Italy imposes the fascist ideology through politics, culture and social activity. This period is when Leros is rapidly developed by the Italian regime and is clearly reflected in the urbanisation of the harbour of Lakki, renamed Portolago at that time by the Italians. The southern side of the bay is efficiently developed as a naval base, with the land acquired through extensive land expropriations. The naval base is divided into two key zones: southwest for naval infrastructures and technical facilities, including two hangars for hydroplanes, storage rooms, offices, administration and pilot quarters, and a northeast area for housing. With the development of the island, a transition in architectural style from neo-Renaissance architecture (Novecento) to a form of Modernism takes place that attempts to integrate with local and vernacular traditions as seen in the early designs of Florestano di Fausto (8). Some of these buildings still host the Greek navy today, although in a much diminished capacity. The main structures of the historic naval base now lie in ruin – four large imposing barrack buildings. Three of the barracks, closest to the peninsula, large, austere and imposing blocks, are a counterpoint to the delicate scale of Lakki. Masonry and concrete frame buildings, built in the Italian tradition of construction with brick floors, unlike the stone and brick vernacular, have a standard gridded column and beam construction allowing for flexibility of occupation and use (9).
The generic nature of these buildings and their monumental scale made them practical and valuable buildings that would go would go onto multiple iterations after 1947, when Leros and the Dodecanese would become part of the Greek territory. The fourth barrack is of a slightly different architectural language, while the other buildings are utilitarian in character, it is more decorative, with mouldings to create a coronated parapet in a style very similar to other Italian buildings on Kos and Rhodes. This is the barracks for the sea-pilots. In the front of the building is a formal forecourt and steps, the scene of many official events and parades.
In the shift from military to political rule, Italian governance and control is wrought through planning and development. Following the curve of the bay beyond the barracks to the north-east, the officers residential area is elegantly laid out in a series of 1-2 storey generous villas, settled amongst rows of trees, exotic palm trees and garden landscapes. The compound includes entrance guard-posts and swimming pools, a clear demarcation of rank and authority. As Italian rule is formalised, the Italian population swells, increasing demand for housing for officers and their families. To support this growth, and to consolidate Italian social, cultural and political life, the governor of the Dodecanese, Mario Lago, founds the new town of Portolago on the opposite shore of the naval base in the Rationalist style of the Italian fascist state.
The urban plan was approved in 1934, and by 1936 7,500 people lived in the new township. Formed of 6×6 streets on a curvilinear grid, the town is like no other village, with almost all buildings designed by Rodolfo Petracchi and Armando Berbabiti. The layout follows a strict hierarchy that arranges civic buildings, a series of villa typologies designed to support the different ranks of the population and community infrastructure for sport, leisure and retail. Key civic buildings (a casa del Fascio, theatre and school) line the waterfront, serving as the backdrop for important parades and state visits. Behind this waterfront is an intimate street with small-scale local shops and retail.
The central axis runs perpendicular to the harbour and forges up the topography, flanked by the central market and church, and leading out to fields and sporting equipment. Moving progressively out from the central axis are the residential streets, with location and typology arranged by rank: higher ranking officers in the central streets live in one to two-storey freestanding houses, lower ranking officers in the middle zone in two-storey complexes containing four apartments, and then workers living in buildings at the periphery in two-storey apartment buildings. All of the houses are very carefully designed for the climate, with some of the more higher-ranking typologies enjoying generous high ceilings with considered entrance spaces and circulation, set in well-designed gardens.
The rigid structure and carefully choreographed stage-set, perfect for the pageantry of reform and power, can be understood to create an equally rigid class structure in strict adherence to the principle of gerarchia (hierarchy) (10) as established by the Fascist manifesto. The settlement of the town was deliberately planned, with lands reclaimed from Greek locals upon occupation in a process of land redistribution, to create a dedicated space of the colony, enforcing a clear hierarchy between the ruling Italian population and the subservient Greek population who are shifted to the periphery and excluded from the life of Portolago. This physical demarcation is further emphasised through a series of policies around language, economy and politics that denies access and equality to the local population. The dedication to the principles of gerarchia is explicit in the formal arrangement of the exemplary pieces of Rationalist architecture and its symbolic communication through decoration and material. It is an architecture designed to impart authority and to strictly regulate a person’s status and role – it is an architecture of control. In the case of Leros, this is emphatically represented through the urban plan, with a strict social hierarchy especially implemented around the bay of Portolago. There is intense and distinctive regulation and segregation of classes of society and military rank, reinforcing adherence to specific societal roles.
This structure fosters the perfect ecology for an urban form and reciprocal society, designed to control and surveil. The plan of Lakki is carefully accented with key civic buildings that give orientation, hierarchy and character to the village. These five buildings are quite beautiful in their simplicity and considered use of indoor and outdoor spaces suited to the Mediterranean climate. More humble in scale and language than other Italian colonial architecture, the buildings of Lakki are a sensitive response to the Greek context and vernacular.
The new school sits at the entrance to the site, its curved colonnade set back in against the hillside. The interior spaces offer a generous and unique space of education. Open courtyards and breezy corridors create opportunity for classes taught outdoors, the proportion and scale of each space is very well considered. Today these spaces are used for the local school and the courtyard is filled with children learning Greek instruments and Greek dance-classes.
The theatre and casa del Fascio frame the main central axis back away from the corniche into the landscape. Again, the use of the curved form allows the building to detach itself from its neighbours, highlighting its position and also opening up to the main access — presenting itself both to the water and to the street. As you continue up the axis you encounter the market, perhaps the best piece in the collection, and terminate at the church. The gently domed space of the market opens into a central garden creating an oasis in the plan — a simple layout offering such enjoyable space, perfectly suited to the climate and context. Today the courtyard of the market hosts a cafe-neio, an idyllic setting for idling away time.
Between the township and the villas is another significant piece of civic infrastructure, a large military hospital campus, one of the key medical facilities of the Dodecanese. Elegant courtyard structures are thoughtfully designed with climate in mind. The extensive scale of the hospital site is significant relative to the population of the island, the legacy of which will earn Leros its greatest notoriety.
Extending beyond the concentrated efforts of the harbour of Portolago, an extensive network of infrastructure, supporting buildings and military apparatus were developed across the island between the military base and airport of Partheni to the north and the bay of Portolago. Underground a series of tunnels as part of the defensive strategy burrowed into the terrain, on hilltops are a series of surveillance, offensive and measuring apparatuses to watch, hear and pursue oppositional forces.
As an epilogue to the description of the architecture and its implementation, it is important to note the relationship to the local population — Italian architecture for an Italian military community, clearly designed to impose their ideal living conditions on the island.
The land for new settlements, towns, buildings and infrastructures across the Dodecanese were acquired through land expropriation and a series of policies that gradually wrested land from Greek locals into Italian settler ownership (11). Greek farmers were pushed out of their farming lands into a new class demographic, clearly established through these policies — land planning and reclamation becomes a mechanism for once again exerting gerachia.
Greek farmers are forced into labour for construction and become the new workforce to implement the many building plans. These policies forced the Greek population into subservient labour roles and denied them their independence and subsistence, typical on other islands. In 1943, after 20 years of occupation, the local population were no longer accustomed, educated or equipped for the subsistent lifestyle of agricultural production, but rather entrenched in a system of employment and labour — Leros had a ready-made unskilled labour force that could be readily employed and utilised in the creation of new Greek institutions that emerge as part of the rebuilding of a new nation.
In September 1943, Fascist Italy collapses, and with the resignation of Piertro Badoglio the Dodecanese come under German control until the capitulation of Nazi Germany to Britain in May 1945. For the third time in four years, the island falls into the hands of a new administration, overseen by the British state until 1947, when the Dodecanese are handed back to Greece in the redrawing of the nation’s boundaries. On March 7th 1948, the island is officially incorporated into Greek national territory. But from 1944 to 1949, Greece is in a state of civil war. Extremely impoverished and internally conflicted on many fronts, the ensuing 25 years until the fall of the 1967-1974 military dictatorship, are defined by perpetual political turmoil, a quasi-continuous civil war of various intensity and levels of democratic or authoritarian ruling.
The deep divisions between the right and the left in Greece are visible and acknowledged even today. Leros is caught in the confluence of this contested landscape. The large infrastructures delivered by the Italians serve as the ideal hosts for new modes of detainment, confinement and control in the name of patriotism and progress. This violence will continue many years after 1974 and the fall of regime of the Colonels. It plays out not only in forms of discipline of the citizenry, but also economic reform policies that seek to buttress and consolidate the many islands of the archipelago to bring them into the fold and clearly establish them as part of modern Greece.
On March 31st 1949, the Ministry of Social Welfare announced that there are 340,000 abandoned children in Greece. In the wake of WWII and the ensuing civil fighting in Greece, the nation faced a crisis of orphaned children. The case, the destiny and the personal and collective histories of these children is still heavily politicised issue in Greece; often and from the opposing camps, both state run institutions and the military forces of the Greek Communist Party have been accused for child kidnapping. In October of 1947, Queen Frederica of Greece started a fundraising programme, The Queen’s Fund, to address the plight of the refugees and orphans – this funded the first seven orphanages, paidoupoleis (children’s cities), food distribution and two training schools (12). Purported as the saviour of long-suffering children, these orphanages in fact served as centres of indoctrination (13). There is evidence to suggest that many of these children were in fact not orphans but children of communists who were in prison or exile, officially declared ‘dead’ by the Queen’s Fund because of their political leanings (14). By 1950, the Queen’s Fund had financed 54 paidoupoleis across the country, nine of which remained operational until the end of the 1950’s, with few open until the 1970’s. The children were raised in a strict militarised and highly political environment aimed at raising loyal subjects that would follow Greece’s traditional values. They often wore uniforms, slept in dormitories of up to 30 children in each room and ate in shared dining halls adorned in nationalist iconography. In addition to studies and prayers, they were assigned to work details and had little exposure to life outside the compound — much like life in a military barrack (15).
Also in 1947, King Paul set up the Royal National Foundation to ‘raise the moral, social, educational and living standards of the Greek people’. As part of this, the King established the Royal Technical Schools on the islands of Crete, Kos and Leros. Financed by the Queen’s Fund, they opportunistically occupied whatever buildings were available, from barracks and hospitals to lavish villas (16). The most famous of the Royal Technical Schools, Leros, opened in March 1949 in the former barracks of Lakki/Portolago harbour. The Italian Naval barracks of Leros, large-scale building designed to accommodate sizeable numbers of people, were ideal for hosting and training vast numbers of children — it was soon to become one of the largest and longest running such institutions in Greece.
The school differed from the orphanages programme in that it was for older boys, aged fourteen to twenty, often young leftists, captured partisans from jails and internment camps, in parts transferred from other paidoupoleis. Leros Technical School ran under strict military discipline, staffed and- managed by specially chosen officers from the Greek Army. The explicit remit of the school, as articulated by the King himself, was to re-educate and reform young leftists and to bring them ‘back into the national family’. After visiting the school in 1950, the British ambassador’s wife to Greece, Lady Norton, praised the school stating, ‘communism must and will spread.
This is the only country in the world where real creative work is being done to combat the cancer of bolshevism.’ (17)
Students were trained as carpenters, bricklayers, house painters, tailors and electricians, and graduates would receive a diploma signed directly by the King. Correspondence outside was censored (18). The students’ life followed military protocol with units, groups and unit leaders sleeping in military bunks on straw mattresses with military blankets, their uniforms made from recycled military equipment (19). At any given time, the school was training 1,300 students (20).
The Royal Technical School of Leros remained operational until December of 1964, allowing for the last of its graduates to complete their studies. After 15 years an estimated 16,000 were re-educated in Leros. Today the orphanage (barracks) is in total ruin, having been unused for over 40 years. The floors and ceilings are collapsing, as are parts of the stairs, making it inaccessible. The walls are still covered in murals and decorative slogans encouraging obedience and dedication to the motherland. Beyond the re-education of the Greek youth, the paidoupoleis and technical schools served as essential propaganda of the monarchy’s good works. The activities and successes of the schools were documented and disseminated through a dedicated magazine, awash with images of the regents visiting the schools, demonstrating their benevolence and the success of the programme. The formal spaces, generous waterfront promenades and building forecourts, proved especially effective for the ceremony of a royal visit, just as they had for the Italian occupation prior.
In 1957, as part of a state programme of economic invigoration for regional Greece, there is a concerted effort to decentralise key services and institutions from Athens. Leros is identified as a key site for mental healthcare. In 1958 the State Mental Hospital opened, transferring people from other areas of Greece. Housed once again in former barracks and hospital buildings, the psychiatric facilities in Leros would confine over 3,000 patients at a time, making it one of Greece’s largest mental institutions. The facilities were expanded in 1961 with the establishment of the ‘institution for maladjusted children’— the Leros Child Care Centre (CCC) of the Patriotic Foundation for Social Welfare and Care (PIKPA). Many of the children were not strictly psychiatric patients, but rather cases of Down syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy. Some of the original patients continue to live on the island in the same facility today, with a total of 914 children admitted over a thirty-year period.
With the introductions of the asylum, orphanage and political prison, the island population grew 23%. This is not only due to the additional population of the institutions, but the employment offered meant that the local population remained in Leros, whereas the trend in other islands was one of mass depopulation. While figures vary, at least 60% of the island’s workforce was associated with the asylums. In 1988 the per capita income was relatively high in comparison to the rest of Greece (280,000 drachmas vs 200,000). The island enjoyed almost no unemployment with people often having several jobs (21).
Whilst the historic Italian buildings were large and therefore convenient, they were not fit for purpose. The children’s hospital, PIKPA, with many patients suffering from physical disabilities as well as mental concerns, had multiple storeys without lifts or ramps or handrails, meaning that non-ambulant patients were confined to their rooms on the ground floor their entire lives; the eating areas were next to the toilets; there were endless problems with heating; the electrical wiring was inadequate, outdated and dangerous; tap water was not safe for drinking and there was generally no hot water; and the kitchen was in a separate building with food transported in buckets. The hospital was predominantly staffed with untrained locals from Leros, their role being more to surveil than to support. There were very few professional healthcare workers in the hospital and the conditions in the adult psychiatric facility were particularly atrocious. Infamously known as the ‘island of the psychopaths’, Leros was the last resort for the mentally ill or infirm where the ‘incurables’ were sent, as patients were never expected to leave (22).
In 1982, when photographer and journalist Mario Damolin visited the island he took a series of photographs of the patients of Leros and wrote an article that was first published in the German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau in August 7 1982, and then picked up by Der Spiegel. Damolin’s pictures showed inmates (patients) chained to beds, naked, hosed down by staff to manage their waste. The publication of Der Spiegel article precipitated a flurry of journalists to the island and an international scandal broke with a publication in the Observer in response to the atrocious conditions in the hospital. The main men’s psychiatric facility, in a former barrack at Lepida, was the site of the most shocking and difficult events.
Overcrowded and crushed with people, additional temporary facilities had been built at the bottom of the building. Patients were kept in dormitories of one hundred or more men in a permanent state of squalor, with vomit and excrement left on the floor. The varying illnesses and needs of the patients were not considered, with patients of all capabilities and conditions lumped together in a space of control rather than support, with no means to differentiate treatment or care depending on ailment. The patients were kept in total isolation, watching TV twice a week, no canteen or independent space or the smallest opportunity for autonomy, letters were censored by hospital staff and rarely passed on, and if a patient was given leave to enter the town, the local population refused to serve them. At the time of Damolin’s visit, there were only a total of two doctors, seven nurses and one social worker for the 1,000’s of patients detained on the island. The nursing staff used to be tradesmen or fishermen, often without even having completed a high-school education, they traded their precarious life for the steady employment by the hospital. Adjacent to the historic Italian building was a small, detached pavilion, built by the Greek state, known as the ‘house of the naked’, were approximately 80 men lived naked all year round, segregated and fenced off left almost to fend for themselves. Interviewed in 2015 for this project, Damolin was still shocked by his experiences in Leros over 30 years ago, and adamant of the significance of the islands history. The press coverage caused a wave of public outcry, and having recently joined the European Union in 1981, the backlash from the European press forced Greece to review not only the practices in Leros but all of Greece. In 1983, the reform regulation 815 was passed, outlining anew practice for mental healthcare, which also coincided with the establishment of a National Health System, which was influenced by British legislation. The legislation aimed to reduce the quantity of hospitals, the number of beds in psychiatric clinics and to develop mental health care facilities in general hospitals and at the primary care level with in the community care, combined with vocational training and rehabilitation. Leros was to ban all new admissions, to improve conditions and develop reliable training programmes and a more consistent provision of medical care.
But reform was met with huge resistance from the island, and this was one of the greatest impediments to change. The changes implied significant impact to employment and the island responded with hostility towards the reforms due to fear that jobs and income would be lost. The change in mental healthcare was thus slow and failed several times due to local resistance and ineffective implementation. The 1988 European report on the reform of Leros, following European funding to support the reform, was extremely critical. To address the issues in Leros and Greece as a whole, a conference 3Ist October 1989 of psychiatric experts was convened in Leros, and included a comprehensive visit of the island’s institutions to review the facilities. Central to this group of experts was Félix Guattari, who documented his visits to the island in diary format in ‘Le Leros A la Borde’, which included photography of the patients taken by his wife Josephine Guattari. Despite the shocking conditions of Leros and the immense troubles it faced, Guattari insisted that the institution can be reformed and remain open, he writes:
An important dimension in the problem of Leros is the complicity of the 9000 inhabitants, that relay, in some way or another, the complicity of Greece as a whole. During a whole era, the few rare people that denounced the scandal experienced severe retaliation, even physical. The shepherds and the fishermen find it normal to guard the crazy like an animal park. In truth they respect far more the beasts. We have fear of the crazy, we mythify their presumed violence, they have the ‘bad eye’. Epileptics in particular are considered an evil influence. 960 people live in direct dependence of the concentration camp, and the economy of the island rests on its activity.
Over the ensuing years, the island of Leros underwent a challenging process of de-institutionalisation, including the slow reduction of scale of facilities and considerable reform of its practices. Central to this process was to shift the approach and attitude of the staff, with extensive training programmes implemented to transform the patient relation to their carers. Today, the mental hospital still operates but in a completely different form. The large psychiatric hospital in the former barracks was shut down, reducing the patient population to 700 by 1998. Facilities are now hosted in the former officers’ villas built by the Italians. Here patients live in a share-house arrangement and are free to come and go as they want. Some patients live there permanently, having now been decades on the island, others come from neighbouring islands for a short stay of less than a month. PIKPA still operates but does not take new patients, it is supporting the ‘children’ that are now middle-aged adults, having been institutionalised their entire existence. A group of the PIKPA children from Leros have been set up independently in Athens in a share house where they lead autonomous lives outside the boundaries of an institution — these are all necessary steps in a process of institutional reform.
While the conditions in Leros were undeniably shocking, it is crucial to put this in the context of global practices in mental healthcare. At the beginning of the ‘deinstitutionalisation’ to date, mental healthcare around the world was disconcerting. Institutions such as the PIKPA reflect the common understanding in the first half of the 20th Century, that children with disabilities or ‘disturbing behaviour’ be moved (and isolated) in institutions to protect society from them (23). But by the mid-1940s it became clear that long-term institutionalisation had a seriously detrimental effect on cognitive and emotional development of children and the landscape started to shift. However, only in 1971 with Article 23 did the UN General Assembly declare that people with disabilities should have ‘to the maximum degree of feasibility the same rights as other human beings’ (Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Persons) and it was not until 1989 that articles referred to the rights of handicapped children in regards to rights of care and education. Guattari emphatically noted the fact that Leros, whilst extreme, was not alone in this horror, in his papers, as he advocated for reform not closure.
“Purity is the essence of the Soul”
This problem of reform and the questions of what an institution is, which parameters define it and how a particular institutional architecture — if this category exists per se — responds to change of protocols, habitual practices, and even definitions or conceptions of the ‘normative’, is central to our study of Leros and the township of Lakki/Portolago. What is crucial here is to understand exile, detention, confinement, indoctrination, and the architecture that allows the above not as accidental or even pragmatic developments, but as relational, diagrammatic conditions that operate in an infrastructural field of possibilities. Leros testifies that the logistics and the logics of warfare as well as the project of displacement and the very conception of “undesirables” and the “displaced” produce first and foremost two things: the legal and social apparatuses that produce these subjects, and spaces that this violence is exercised. Therefore, it’s always within the asymmetric relations of labour that both the subject of the confined and the one of the guard is produced. The project does not claim that architecture is the cause of this. And while the architecture of the Italian Rationalist period has its own qualities, it is also constructed within a very specific diagram. What is our interest here is not the degree in which “fascist” architecture of various degrees could exist, or even if any kind of architecture could be more or less “fascist. Rather our claim is that the relationships established by the plan and the architecture, the strict imposition of gerarchia, established a unique urban form and social fabric.
Tens of thousands of people exiled, detained and isolated and surveilled in Leros and the town of Lakki/Portolago, occupying, living, by most importantly being serviced, policed and confined by a series of institutions — the Royal Technical School, the Greek Military, the Psychiatric Clinic, the national and European police and security apparatus of control of the refugee flows – that employed local population. The inaugural moment of the Italian military town, set up these relationships permanently: class, labour, gender segregation, multiple zones of controlled and restricted access, military and civilian infrastructures interwoven with a multiplicity of scales: the Med, the archipelago, the island, the town, the village, the building-object itself. Ultimately, the role of the Lerian, has become one of the guard the discipliner, the cook, the cleaner, an extremely precarious service provider, her and himself in exile and completely dependent on these institutional forms.
If the Greek state pushed tourism, leisure and small-scale construction industry for most islands and towns on the mainland as the main economic activity, there was a much different strategy for Leros; to become an island of exiles. The population is so economically inculcated in the process of control that it has become a self-perpetuating demand. The argument is thus that neither one thing in or of itself is of substantial scale – neither the population, the large barrack infrastructures well-suited to this application, nor the Rationalist architecture in and of itself, is unique nor the cause, but rather the coexistence and confluence of all these factors have created a campus of surveillance and exile. It is precisely the interdependence and co-existence of architecture and labour that perpetuates the island’s role as an apparatus of control.
(1) These descriptions resonate with many similar cases in the Aegean and Libyan Sea. This dreadful event is only one among hundreds, which surface, or remain unknown, every month in the media to illustrate the migration crisis in Europe. Ongoing wars and conflicts in North Africa, Asia and especially the Syrian civil war have pushed thousands to flee and find refuge on European soil, often with devastating consequences. The extremely important work of Forensic Oceanography, led by Lorenzo Pezzani and Charles Heller, has shown how the very protocol of ‘search-and-rescue’ missions and the extreme militarisation of the European security apparatus have profoundly increased the risk of dying at sea. (2) Its legendary status was captured in Alistair MacLean’s 1957 novel ‘The Guns of Navarone’ that was based on the battle of Leros, an event considered the last defeat of the Allied Forces in WW II. J. Lee Thompson’s critically acclaimed movie of 1961 based on the book, made the small island of Leros known internationally, possibly for the first time in its recent history. Famously, Leros was one of Winston Churchill’s obsessions in his attempt to intensify and to further expand British colonial rule in the East Mediterranean. In his plans, the deep, natural port of Lakki/Portolago was considered an essential asset for the Royal Navy in an attempt to destabilise a post-WWII Turkey and eventually control the waters from the Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles to the port of Haifa and the Suez Canal. (3) This has been captured and discussed in many instances, most importantly in: Anthony Rogers, Churchill’s folly : Leros and the Aegean : the last great British defeat of the Second World War (London : Cassell Military, 2003). (4) The town planning and the particular architecture of Lakki/Potrolago is absent, or rarely mentioned in studies of Italian, rationalist architecture, with the exception of the work of Vassilis Colonas. Colonas has done work on architecture of the Italian, fascist period in the Dodecanese, but without expanding into the post-WWI history of the town. For more, see: Colonas, Vassilis. (2002) Italian Architecture in the Dodecanese Islands 1912-1943 (Athens: Olkos), 66 – 71. (5) This last point has become particularly relevant through the work of Susana Caló and Godofredo Pereira and their current research project on CERFI. See their recent article: Godofredo Pereira, and Susana Caló, ‘From the Hospital to the City’, Journal of Critical Thought, 2 (1), London, 2016, 50-58.

(7) The psychiatric hospital on Leros became the centre of a scandal due to the 1981 visit of journalist Mario Damolin, material from this visit was later published in Der Speigal and the Observer breaking international news.

(11) This approach was far-reaching in particular in relation to agricultural lands where a series of legal impositions systematically took agricultural land from the local population to hand over to the Italians: 1924 decree forbidding Greek landowners from planting seeds or cultivating their land; 1928 decree handing over any land left fallow for three years to the Italian government and passing these over to Italian farmers; and a 1929 decree expropriating all lands held by Greeks and handing it over to Italians who wished to introduce new kinds of farming or crops.

Previously prairie land. Now densely populated. Big homes, shopping, restaurants, and parks. A Tough commute unless you work in the area or the Energy Corridor.The highly ranked Katy High Schools are the major drawing card to the area. Friday Night Football is a major event. They are constructing a Boardwalk multi use project that will include luxury apartments, shopping, restaurants and a conference center. Cinco Ranch community has long been a drawing card although the main community has long been built out. Cane Island is one of the newer communities and as all the others has trails, swimming, lakes. Was previously prairie land so don’t expect a lot of trees.

Beauties, a new hairstyle can make you feel fabulous with just one salon visit. Whether you are a woman with natural or relaxed hair, a weave can provide versatility (no need to cut your own hair or wait for it to grow out).
Currently, we here at HelloBeautiful are loving hair company (and movement) Mayvenn. They offer 100% quality virgin hair in various lengths and textures to over 50,000 women. They empower hairstylists to be their own retailers and provide an additional revenue stream.
Top Mayvenn hairstylist Rosalyn LaFone of Touched by LaFone talked to us about choosing the right weave. If you are going to maintain the same hairstyle for two months, you better like it! Rosalyn begins by saying before you choose your weave, you should think about the message you want to convey. “It all depends on your personality, the style that you are trying to achieve and your day-to-day life,” she says. Are you low maintenance? If so, don’t choose a weave that requires a lot of styling. Rosalyn also encourages to look for versatility: “How many ways can you wear this one style?”
Using Mayvenn hair extensions, Rosalyn shows us three different types of hair that work for the various personalities and lifestyles of our readers!
FOR THE GIRL ON THE GO
Rosalyn suggests straight hair by Mayvenn. But go for the Peruvian if you want a thicker look.
“With straight hair you don’t have to do much to it but comb it and brush it. It’s less maintenance!” Rosalyn assures.
Another benefit of straight hair is that you can create curly and wavy styles, and have a lot of versatility very easily.
FAVORITE MAYVENN HAIR FOR THE GLAM GIRL
“Go big!” Rosalyn suggests. “Curly hair is for the girl that wants to be seen.”
Curly hair is a bit harder to manage, so this is a better option for beauties that are comfortable with a weave. Remember, with a curly or wavy weave you have to brush it daily and braid it at night. Try a deep wave if you want really defined curls, or go for a body wave if you want some Beyoncé-inspired style.
Our Style and Beauty Editor, Danielle James, achieved her #NYFW look using three bundles of Mayvenn Peruvian Loose Wave Ultra Hair 24-inch and an 18-inch loose wave closure. This is a true protective style because none of her hair is out. You can follow all of her New York Fashion Week hair looks here.
FOR THE GIRL GETTING A WEAVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
If you are getting a weave for the first time, go for something you are used to in terms of length. If you hair is shorter, try a 10 or 12-inch hair extension. “I’d go no longer than 14 inches for a first-time weave wearer,” advises Rosalyn. A bob style is an easy first-time style to try, beauties!
Remember: It’s not just putting in a weave, you also must maintain and take care of your hair underneath.
“You have to go back and visit your hairstylist. You have to get it washed, get it treated, get your scalp taken care of,” Rosalyn recommends.
Put oil in your scalp to keep it nutrient-rich and moisturized. Rosalyn’s favorite oil is Taliah Waajid African Healing Oyl (Black Earth Products). “Look for products that are packaged in cone tops,” she adds. “It’s easier for the products to get in between your braids and tracks and directly onto your scalp”.
A weave doesn’t always have to be a “hairy” situation.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Construction asserts that China is potentially the largest architectural market worldwide. The country has strong expertise in this area, with 11,000 architectural design companies generating estimated revenue of USD 11.3 billion and annual construction value amounting to USD 200 billion.
Shanghai is also the heart of Mainland China’s high-end product market, with China set to account for one third of the estimated USD 175 billion luxury goodsglobal market by 2015.
You can find a schedule for the activities throughout the event here:

If regular dental visits are essential for the maintenance of healthy teeth and gums, an exam before going on holiday is even more important.
Dr. Carolyn Carbasse will do an extensive examination in order to detect any possible problems, such as infection or decay, and proceed to carry out a scale and polish, so that you can leave with complete peace of mind.
Until your next visit it is crucial that you work to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. The proper use of floss and interproximal brushes is of utmost importance, and it goes without saying that you must brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to prevent plaque build up from the breakdown of food by bacteria.
Call us at Zen Smile Spa on 96 579 38 10.

AMNH Podcasts Selected Lectures
March 26, 2013 8:12 AM Subscribe
Science & the City is the public gateway to the New York Academy of Sciences. We publish a comprehensive calendar of public science events in New York City, host events featuring top scientists in their fields, and produce a weekly podcast covering cutting-edge science. Meanwhile, the American Museum of Natural History presents over 200 public programs each year including workshops, seminars, lectures, cultural events, and performances. Museum lectures are presented by scientists, authors, and researchers at the forefront of their fields. These engaging sessions often reveal the findings of the Museum's own cutting-edge research in genomics, paleontology, astrophysics, biodiversity, and evolutionary biology and complement the science behind the Museum's world-famous cultural and scientific halls and special exhibitions. Now many are available in podcast form.
Some of my recommendations from the New York Academy of Sciences include,

Trans fat, saturated fat, hydrogenated oil—such terms are plastered on food labels across the country. But what do any of them really mean? Find out all about fat in this episode of our nutrition series.
Getting Behind the Resveratrol Hype
A few years ago, Resveratrol—a compound found in red wine and dark chocolate, among other foods—made a splash in the news as an anti-aging wonder and was soon after seized upon by marketers. But the truth is that research is still in its early stages. Dr. Joseph Baur leads us through the science behind the hype.
A Thought for Food: Sugar in the Morning...
The battle of wills to resist the last cupcake isn't the only one being waged over sugar. In fact, sugar—or fructose to be more precise—is one of the most hotly contested subjects in the world of nutrition. Find out why in the fifth edition of our nutrition series.
The Science of Local Food
Locavorism is all the rage these days, but does science back it up? Is local food more nutritious? Can it improve our environment? And does it even taste better? This June, we invited a panel of experts from the New York area to find out.
A Thought for Food: Rock Steady
Salt is one of the most important and versatile ingredients in foods around the world. We like it, we need it, but are we getting too much of it these days? Get the big picture on this unique compound in episode six of our nutrition series.

According to web usage data from Chitika, the iPad 2 actually makes up most of the US. web traffic coming from iPad users, about 60 percent. Meanwhile, the new iPad only makes up about 18 percent of iPad web traffic.
Interestingly, the new iPad is only making up 18 percent of the iPad web traffic in the US. Chitika speculates that it may be a sign that people are holding back on the upgrade as “the perceived minute differences between the iPad 2 and iPad 3″ make users of the old iPad less willing to upgrade.
However, one thing worth noting is that Apple sold a record 17 million iPads last quarter. Tim Cook said that the third-gen iPad was the biggest seller of the bunch. However, GigaOm points out that Chitika is specifically pointing to US web traffic while Tim Cook was talking about global iPad sales. There is also the fact that the iPad 2 sells for $399. That makes it much easier for some shoppers who were on the fence to pick up the last-gen iPad at a lower price, and as GigaOm puts it, has also helped it become popular in schools.
Either way, Apple is selling iPads. We’re sure they don’t mind.

Another Irish bishop steps down
November 23, 2011
The Vatican has announced the resignation of another Irish bishop, leaving 7 of the country’s 26 dioceses without an active bishop.
Bishop Seamus Hegarty of Derry announced that he was stepping down because of “a health condition which has been assessed to render me unable to fulfill the obligations of my office.” He did not identify the medical condition, but disclosed that although he is now taking treatment, the problem is considered irreversible.
At the age of 71, Bishop Hegarty is 4 years short of the usual retirement age. The timing of his resignation may be significant because he had previously served as Bishop of Raphoe, where numerous complaints of chld abuse have been filed. An investigative report on the handling of sex-abuse complaints in the Raphoe diocese, prepared by the National Board for Safeguarding Children at the request of the Church, has recently been completed and submitted to the current head of the diocese, Bishop Philip Boyce. Its public release is expected in the coming weeks.
News of Bishop Hegarty’s resignation prompted new interest in reports that the Vatican is planning a reconfiguration of the Irish hierarchy, after an apostolic visitation that followed the eruption of the sex-abuse scandal in that country. The Irish Catholic has reported that the Vatican will eliminate a large number of the country’s dioceses. The fact that 7 episcopal sees are now empty would make such a change easier.

Several years ago, I revealed to my husband that I actually kind of like Valentine’s Day. This is despite all the times I told him that I hated it, it’s lame and stupid, and a made-up, over-commercialized saccharine-fest invented by Hallmark and Big Floral. For so many years, the poor man had been wondering why, every February 14, I would say I wasn’t mad at him, while I was clearly mad at him.
I was mad, you see, because everyone else was getting flowers and riding in heart-shaped hot air balloons and– I don’t know, eating hot fudge sundaes that turned out to have a tiny violin player at the bottom. And here I was getting nothing, which is what I repeatedly told him I wanted. Pray for me: I’m married to a monster.
Anyway, I finally realized that it doesn’t make me defective to enjoy flowers — and that if it’s artificial to suddenly act romantic on a nationally-specified day — well, we need all the help we can get. Alarm clocks are artificial, too, but if they didn’t automatically remind us of what we ought to do, we’d be in big trouble. So, yeah, I asked him to get me flowers, and take the plastic wrap and price tag off before giving them to me, and he will, and I’m going to like them. Whew, that wasn’t so hard!
Having taken this huge leap forward in our communication skills, I decided to hunt around to see what normal human beings do on Valentine’s Day.
If you want to feel like you’ve got your act together, just ask the internet a question. Okay, maybe not in all circumstances. If you’re rewiring your living room, for instance, or trying to remove the Spaghetti-o decoupage from an angry cat, you may very well have lots to learn.
But if you need help with your relationships? A quick trip down Google lane will have you feeling like an expert, a champion, a genius, a hero of common sense and decency. For instance, if you Google “What do guys want for Valentine’s Day?” you will come across this depressing paen to modern love, written by a man:
One of my favorite presents was a trip to the grocery store.
I remember the clear, cloudless day, sun shining down on me proudly pushing my cart into Central Market. Rachel was with me, and some friends who came along.
I picked up a steak and set it in the cart. Rachel said, “That’s great, Doug!”
I grabbed some chips. Rachel said, “That’s really great, Doug!”
I picked up some really expensive jam. Rachel said, “Yum, that will be really great, Doug!”
In fact everything I picked up got the same response from her (or very close to it), and that was my present: I could choose anything I wanted, and she could only say how great everything was. What an awesome gift that was, a trip to the grocery store.
So what did I get, besides some red AND yellow peppers?
I got what most men want. I was accepted.
I weep for America. I weep for mankind. I weep for myself, because this is the saddest, stupidest thing I’ve ever read, and I read it three times to make sure I wasn’t missing something. What is Doug going to get for Christmas from the gracious lady Rachel? A coupon for Not Getting Kicked In the Nuts?
You know, I probably treat my husband this way sometimes. But the difference is, neither one of us is okay with it. We don’t assume that relentless criticism and belittling is part of a normal relationship. If it starts to become a pattern, we go to confession, make amends, and start fresh, because we like each other, and want each other to be happy.
This reminds me of the story of the man who had invented a brilliant method for saving money on the farm. “On the first week,” he says, “I fed my horse a bale of hay. On the second week, I fed him half a bale of hay. On the third week, I fed him a quarter of a bale. I was damn near to teaching the horse to live on nothing at all, but on the fourth week, the ungrateful sonofabitch died on me!”
This whole communication thing isn’t as lame as it sounds. I hope that, sometime after that article was printed, Doug found a way to tell his wife, “What I really want is for you to stop treating me like I’m some kind of moron. Save the correction for really important stuff, and talk to me like you see me as a full human. Let me know what makes you feel important, and I’ll do the same for you.” I hope they figure out that this kind of thing shouldn’t be for special days, but should be the baseline of their relationship, and once the basic respect is a given, then special holidays won’t feel so fraught.
Happy stupid Valentine’s Day, folks. I hope you get something nice. Or if you get nothing, I hope at least it doesn’t feel like a gift!

About Carol's Plant ShedCarol's Plant Shed is founded, owned and operated by Carol (Borella) Ebbitt. The business started with very humble beginnings. At the age of 15, Carol started selling plants off a flatbed trailer in front of her parents business. Her parents Anna & Sam Borella where the founders of Borella Nursery located at 194 Smithtown Blvd. in Nesconset, New York. They were wholesale growers supplying garden centers and landscapers with plants. They grew bedding plants, hanging baskets, shrubs, perennial and all types of bulbs for Easter.
In the spring Carol would sell their plants on Easter and Mother's Day plus weekends. She did this for years while finishing her education. In the mid 1970's Carol decided to open full time during the spring and fall seasons. She continued the seasonal business for years during which she got married and had four children. In 1986 while pregnant with her fourth child she decide to enlarge the business and grow her own plants for retails sales. This decision came easy since her parents and grandparents were in the agricultural field. The business was then moved to next door at 196 Smithtown Blvd. where it is located today, open for sales April to December. From January to April they are in the greenhouses growing the plants for the spring season.
Since the 1970's the community has grown and so has Carol's Plant Shed. They now grow 95% of the plants that are sold and have expanded into new markets, selling items for the home and garden. The garden center is having growing pains again. New in 2011 will be fresh organic and local vegetables in season, foods produced on Long Island such as honey, teas & jams, water fountains and much more. And the biggest change will be baking pies. They will sell pies freshly baked on premise.
During all these years Carol's Plant Shed has remained a family run business with Carol's husband and children helping her to achieve success.

As Whisky Ladies, we enjoy celebrating the contributions of whisky women to the industry.
Rachel Barrie has a career that started with the Glenmorangie team, gaining experience to become a whisky creator and master blender for The Glenmorangie, The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, Moet Hennessy (LVMH) before joining Morrison Bowmore Distillers, Beam Suntory in 2011. As Master Blender, she described “Islay is my escape. There’s part of me that’s a free spirit and very elemental.”
As Whisky Ladies, we thought it rather apt to have a session featuring whiskies where a professional Whisky woman was involved!
So we set about early 2016 to collectively acquire a ‘travel trilogy’ from Bowmore with:
For once, it was surprisingly easy to buy… the trick turned out to be finding an evening when all three ladies who purchased the bottles were `free on the same night!
This finally happened in April 2017… by which time Rachel Barrie had changed jobs and joined BenRiach and Glendronach Distillery Company as Whisky Maker.
Didn’t matter to us – we toasted her in spirit anyways!
Other Bowmore‘s tasted over the years include:

Here are the sustainability trends to look out for this year.
In 2021, we predicted the past year would bring more interest in recycled textiles, reliance on data to understand the effects of climate change, increased adoption of eco-friendly living, and improved regulation of toxic chemicals. For the most part, we were on target.
So what will 2023 bring? And how will communities, governments, companies, and individuals continue to make progress on sustainability during these pivotal years for reversing the effects of climate change?
We have a few ideas. We consulted the latest research, surveys, and consumer reports to predict what’s to come. Curious about the results?
Here are sustainability trends to look out for in 2023.
As the number of people prioritizing planet-friendly products and brands increases — nearly 90 percent of Gen X consumers are willing to spend 10 percent extra or more for sustainable products — they will also demand greater transparency from companies. To cultivate loyalty, brands will no longer be able to skirt by with vague sustainability statements. In order to stay competitive, they’ll need to be more transparent about how and where their products are made, whether materials are ethically and sustainably sourced, and how they’re reducing carbon emissions. A report by Deloitte found that consumer brands that aren’t open and transparent are the most at risk of losing meaningful trust with consumers. Avocado, for its part, is already one step ahead. We’re implementing blockchain technology into our supply chain to deliver a level of transparency and verified material integrity that few brands provide.

Renewable energy — particularly wind and solar technologies — will get a major boost in 2023. In the past decade, the cost of solar infrastructure declined by 85 percent, and the cost of wind energy is projected to fall by up to 35 percent by 2035, making them the most attractive options when it comes to energy. Add to this the Inflation Reduction Act’s expanded tax credits for renewable energy projects and the Biden administration’s aggressive plan to lower greenhouse gas pollution by 50 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, and it’s predicted that private sector investment in solar will explode. In fact, by 2024, industry experts forecast that almost 33 percent of the world’s electricity will come from renewables, with solar accounting for almost 60 percent (or at least 697 gigawatts) of expected growth and onshore wind accounting for 309 gigawatts.

Fast fashion has lost its luster. The second-hand market is stepping up to take its place. Thanks to online resale companies like Poshmark, ThredUp, and Depop, shoppers are looking for gently used clothing more than ever. And the market will continue to grow. The resale clothing industry is projected to blossom 16 times faster than non-resale in the next four years and reach nearly $30 billion in value in 2023, up from $25.9 billion in 2022. Lower price points and increased interest in sustainable fashion are key motivators. It makes sense. A recent survey by NielsonIQ found that 48 percent of people are looking to brands to take the lead on creating sustainable change. Companies are taking note. Patagonia, REI, lululemon, Athleta, and even IKEA launched buyback and resale programs to offer customers refurbished items at a lower cost in the name of sustainability — and to stay competitive with eco-minded shoppers.

According to Businesswire, 63 percent of individuals consider sustainability an important factor when purchasing consumer goods, and a third of Americans are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products. As a result, we’ll see products marketed as eco-friendly — think everything from coffee and cosmetics to furniture, bedding, and household items — continue to capture more of the consumer goods market share. Currently, sustainable products make up about 17 percent of the market and experience 5.6 times higher average sales growth than those not marketed as sustainable. Those who buy planet-friendly items can also expect to see their purchases shipped in more eco-friendly packaging. The global recycled packaging materials market is predicted to grow from $136.5 billion in 2018 to $180 billion in 2023.
Read more: Why We Need to Ditch Plastic Packaging
According to Architectural Digest, 94 percent of those surveyed believe that sustainability will continue to be top of mind and 91 percent predict biophilic interior design will remain popular. So expect everything from DIY solar kits, solar-powered security systems, and rolled solar shingles to sustainable furniture, organic materials, and nature-infused elements to take over homes in 2023. An increasing number of climate-aware homeowners will also invest in energy-efficient and water-saving appliances, like smart thermostats, dishwashers, washing machines, toilets, heat pumps, and induction stoves, to save money and lower their carbon footprint. Home construction is going sustainable, too. Keep an eye out for cellulose and hemp insulation, recycled and reclaimed wood, sustainably created tiles, and cork building materials.

Rain halts Daytona 500
Rain and storms have stopped the Daytona 500 at 38 of 200 laps with Kyle Busch out front.
The track lighting system is set to be called into effect with officials aiming to run the race in the evening local time.
The race started under cloudy skies and has so far featured two caution periods for a spin to Kyle Larson and an engine failure for Martin Truex Jr. The second caution on lap 32 preceded the rain with the drivers already behind the pace car when everyone was parked on pit road.
Kasey Kahne was second, Denny Hamlin third, Brian Vickers fourth and Paul Menard fifth.
Australia’s Marcos Ambrose was fourth when the yellow flag flew for the Truex Jr engine failure. He came to pit road and changed tyres and is full of fuel when the race gets back underway; he is 22nd. On his first stop he had contact with Danica Patrick after leaving his pit box. The crew checked the front right of his Ford on the second stop.
A NASCAR race is not official until half the race reaches the halfway mark of 100 laps (250 miles) for the Daytona 500. If the race cannot be resumed today, it would be resumed Monday (Tuesday morning Australian time).

Modern Makers: Week 6
Blog post by Modern Makers participant Bryony Rose
I continued on from last week by dipping the remaining sides of my box in green slip. I'm really looking forward to seeing this new green colour in our work! I started on a second box - rolling out slabs and constructing the cuboid. I used the same template that I had made for the previous box but I am planning on a completely different decorating technique.
The next day the first box is ready to have the lid cut off. I add 4 rods to the inside of the box, running up the corners and poking slightly over the top. These will keep the lid sitting firmly on the box. I dip the second box in white slip and, using 3 fingers, make a pattern over the whole surface. My fingers push the wet slip to the side, exposing the red clay beneath. I spend the rest of the day looking through Hannah and Doug's collection of pottery books!
Jodie at the wheel!

Working with data storage has always had its rules and regulations, throw sensitive data into the mix and you’ve got a whole lot going on; but this becomes even more of a hand full when this sensitive data involves children and the locations of where the data is stored.
Edsby, a standalone organisation that works within the educational and schooling industry, who better the engagement between student teacher and parent, have recently moved their programs into Microsoft’s Cloud Platform Azure. Here they allow schools and connected organisations to store their student/ teacher’s academic data and records in the cloud. This up until now hasn’t been possible due to legislation in regards to holding sensitive data within certain geographical locations.
As Microsoft have recently opened their datacentres within the UK, organisations like Edsby are willing, but more importantly are allowed to move their sensitive data to the cloud as it is within the same country/ region as the school itself. This, in-turn will help Edsby deliver a better more scalable service to the schools under their umbrella; working faster as all connected to one central point up in the cloud.
Edsby’s co-founder Steven Asbury mentioned that the migration involved Azure SQL Database, which was required for data management and development, Azure storage and Azure Portal for complete console management. He then went on to say, “The software porting and customer data migration took just a few months, and we are now recognizing many benefits, such as improved performance, scalability-on-demand, more flexible storage, back-end monitoring/analytics, a better high availability and disaster recovery offering and other efficiencies.”
Now that Microsoft offer a UK based Cloud service, companies storing sensitive data, such as Edsby can now host their data in Azure whilst abiding by the rules and regulations of the land. Your data is something that mustn’t be over looked, and the industry that you operate in determines the type of storage you are allowed to use. The cloud is changing the way we store data, make sure you are ahead of the curve, Azure and dsp can help you get there. Speak to our Azure specialist to see how.

Cuff 'Em: Naked Guy To Women In Park…"You Want Some Of This?"
Of course an editor gave this story to reporter Kimberly Dick at The Herald in Rock Hill, SC.
Rock Hill police arrested a man who witnesses say sat completely naked on a park bench along a trail at Cherry Park.
Kevin Leroy Arrants, 33, of Rock Hill was charged with indecent exposure Tuesday and is accused of exposing himself to two Rock Hill women in their 40s at Cherry Park, according to a Rock Hill police report.
One of the women told police they noticed a man sitting completely naked on a park bench around 7 a.m. Tuesday, the report states. When he saw the women, he ran into the woods.
Later, the women said saw the same man — still naked — standing in the middle of a soccer field, the report said. This time he asked the women, “Hey ladies, you want some of this?†before putting his shorts on and running toward Cherry Road.
See, we’ve used this line before but it usually comes while clothed and at a bar. In our 20s. After many drinks.
Things usually went bad, but one time it ended up leading to cuffs and we’re man enough to admit that chick was probably a beer goggle 7. Said claimed to be from rural West Virginia which scared the shit out of us. And then in the sack she was into crazy shit that included handcuffs. We figured that was it, our asses were finished.
Thankfully, in a drunken stupor BC was able to escape before being chainsawed into 6 or 7 pieces.
There is a lesson to be learned when using such a line.
“You want some of this,” isn’t going to work with 8+ women. If they wanted some of that, they wouldn’t wait for you to ask.
“You want some of this,” should be used very strategically because once you sober up in the morning, 9 out of 10 times you are going to regret ever going to that TD scoring play from the playbook.
Use it wisely.
