Zarb
ValeurThis is a surname of at least two possible origins. Firstly it may be Maltese, and a form of Serb, and as such describing a person from the country known as Serbia, although it may also be used in a generic term to describe a foreigner or stranger. As such it was cognate with the French word 'waleis' which also means a foreigner although originally specific to a Breton or Celt, and describing a person from Wales. The second possibility is that it is a metonymic job description which in its earliest useage described a carpenter, but later became more specific for a ship builder. In this case the derivation is from the words Zareba or Zarba, said to be a mid-European word of pre 10th century Hungarian and Czech descent. It is not clear as to when the name was first recorded, but early surviving church registers of the island of Malta include that of Paul John Zarb, who in the year 1818, was baptised at St. Paul's Church, in the capital city of Valetta. This was during the reign of King George IIIrd of England, and known to history as 'Farmer George', 1760 - 1820. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

CIG on track to pass targets
(CNS): Government earnings were over $2.5 million more than expected and spending was down $5.5million less than projected in the first quarter of the 2014/15 financial year. As a result the public purse is on target for a major surplus at the end of this year if government can keep spending down and the economy growing. Already aiming to have almost $121 million left next June when it has paid all its bills government may do even better as it battles to reach the FCO’s aggressive targets to ensure Cayman gets back on track with the management of public finances and debt ratios. With no new debt being incurred central government will repay $25.4 million off is debt load before the year end and it is also expecting to cut overdraft interest and fees to zero.
“At 30 September, 2014, the Government's Operating Bank account balances totalled $67.1 million and the Government is confident those balances will remain positive throughout the entire fiscal year,” the premier announced recently, when he reviewed the country’s finances in his state of the nation address.
Crediting his finance minister who is in charge of the public purse strings, Alden McLaughlin said Cayman was lucky to have the “skill and zeal” of Marco Archer was creating confidence in the economy. “Investors like certainty, and Minister Archer has certainly brought this to the management of the public finances,” McLaughlin said, adding that it was no mean feat to achieve Budget approval from by the FCO on first submission
Meanwhile, the statutory authorities and government-owned companies also enjoyed a positive first quarter of the year collectively experienced an operating surplus of $1.7 million, a million dollars more than expected.
McLaughlin said government has worked hard every day since being returned to office some 18 months ago, to restore stability to the country and the economy.
“Our economic policies are working and the economic indices are pointing to encouraging growth,” McLaughlin claimed.
With overall economic activity in Cayman Islands growing by an estimated 2.2 per cent in the first six months of 2014 he said that in the first quarter, the GDP grew by 1.5 per cent while during the second it is estimated to be at 3.3 per cent. “The growth rates are the strongest estimated so far for the country during the post-2008 global financial crisis period,” the premier stated.
He added that economic growth had occurred in several sectors including wholesale and retail trade; hotels and restaurants; transport storage and communication; real estate, renting, business activities; and construction.
PPM Audited accounts before you do anything else. Other wise how can we trust your figures?
The REAL Truth says:
"McLaughlin said government has worked hard every day since being returned to office some 18 months ago, to restore stability to the country and the economy." He should have added, and we only lost $1 billion dollars some where doing it. This is Caymanian run government at its very best. If this house isn't cleaned soon it will start to fall down by itself. The end is comeing and its already in plain sight. If the UK doen't step in its going to get very ugly.
You are so eager to blame the PPM govt. that you didn't bother read the article. This did not occur in the last 18 months:
"Examining in particular the financial years ending 2011 and 2012, he said that the audits of the ministries have raised “significant concerns about the governance and internal control environment.”
Who was the Premier and Minister of Finance, Tourism and Development in those years?
mac ran a number of surplus's with his pretend budgets…..
fair play to the ppm for doing nothing special and keeping things the same….
but in the real world all businesses are slowly dying with the the do-nothing approach of the ppm……
Robbing Peter to pay Paul sums it up. In the real world cayman is busted, bankrupt, broke so many unfunded liabilities they have just closed there eyes to them. and tell everyone its ok
even going as far as to say there is a surplus.
Anyone whom thinks otherwise has been smoking some medical. not that bushweed
I see nothing wrong with robbing Peter to pay Paul.
RP says:
The targets are real but the comparatives, being the actual results are not only unaudited but rather unauditable.
Mr. Archer please produce an auditable set of accounts for this fiscal year. We are tired of paying taxes not knowing where Our money goes. I don't expect unqualified opinions but I do expect a set of accounts which is auditable by the auditor General. I am willing to settle for audit qualifications but at least we know what is being qualified. Once there let's work on rectifying the audit qualifications within the next two years.
i know you are capable and willing so let's get the ball rolling.
Bollox says:
I am somewhat sceptical.
Judean People's Front says:
Oooh, he's making it up as he goes along.
CrabClaw says:
Maybe they could actully start hiring somemore theachers, and firing the ones just holding spots.
Have you asked why they haven't released for underperformance the teacher(s) you don't like? Money ain't the issue.
Anonyanmous says:
This is good news for Social Services and bad news for the government if they don't get people into jobs. Jobs and employment opportunities for Caymanians will complete the package. Money in the bank is of no use to poor people if they don't have access to it by way of jobs.
"Investors like confidence"? Who are you referring to?
What "investors like", Mr. Premier is to be able to hire the people they need WHEN they need them. That means government presenting either a Caymanian OR a work permit.
Not being able to hire people (Caymanian or otherwise) when you need them is pretty much of a deal-breaker for a business.
Once historical reporting is supported by unqualified, audited financial statements then I will believe it.
This is about the current account, not yesterday's mess.
How can anybody believe in a surplus when 1 billion dollars is unaccounted for in the AG's recent report?
Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?
1 billion from McKeeva's term. SMDH.
The accounting issues have to do with not knowing what government's money was spent on. It is rather simple to account for how much money the government has spent, how much cash they have on hand, and how much debt they have outstanding.
For some reason people have to restate this inaccurancy everytime the government posts positive economic news.
They say the same crap every year until the truth comes out..Dey must tink we idiot.
Most Chiefs Officers, deputies and CFO's could never get a similar position or keep it if they were in private sector providing false accounts.
And Nother Ting says:
Great numbers mr. premier and yes the Minister of finance is a credible guy, but, please talk about the people who are losing their homes, can't pay their electricity and have no jobs. Talk about the stupendous rise in crime and the crippling effects it's going to have in YA GDP if not curbed now. Come on all YA supposedly hard work is naught if the quality of life is draining away in the swamps. Can't believe these people, these so called kmas leaders.
We need jobs not pretend surpluses
Well done to the FCO & ex-Governor. If the FCO hadnt started getting more invovled & we'd not had a change of Govt & the removal a a certain MLA, the finances would be in deficit & we'd be in a sorry state but still being told things were rosy. But I bet no one sees this & votes him back in to carry on as before.
With this surplus please invest & spend it wisely, & help the old & poor.
Yeah like how they been doing so far idiot!!
With 1billion unaccounted for the surplus stated by PPM is false!
B.N. Onneste says:
It sure looks good on paper…. but wait! Wasn't there a similar statement made by the previous administration? Good luck, Mr. Archer.
Its easy to pass targets when you can move the goal post. SMH, the government is as trash as my nieghbor with thier barking dogs and bushes overhanging on my property.
The bushes overhanging into your proprety is concidered your property and you are resposible for cutting it down from your side. Just like when my neighbors magoes hang over they are MINE!!! HAHAHAHAHAAHa!
Alden is a funny guy his speech did not inspire confidence in his leadership or the progressives it was a damp squib!
Please show us fully audited accounts supporting these claims.
You obviously don't understand what audited accounts are. An audit occurs after the financial year has ended and final accounts have been produced. The current accounts for the current financial year he is referring to obviously cannot be audited at this stage, but they are nonetheless useful to track progress and take any corrective measures if we are going off track. Capiche?
Another day another fantasy by PPM. Cayman going down the drains and this lot are in denial
It is already there not just going, don't you smell the stench every day?
Bean Counter says:
This surplus is as real as the unicorns in my backyard. Until the audited accounts for CIG are verified by the Auditor General without the usual a series of qualified opinions which means that the quality of the data cannot be trusted (ask any CPA or ACCA) it's all just numbers on paper and more political spin.
ha! speak for yourself, the Unicorns MY backyard are real. Just like the Tooth Fairy, Santi Clause and the Easter Bunny.

Former BZÖ members plan to run in Vienna vote with new party
The crisis of the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) seems to continue with members of its Vienna branch founding a new party.Christian Neubacher, provincial manager of the FBZ – Freies Bündnis Zukunft (Free Alliance for the Future) party said today (Tues) the new party was set up last month and had 35 members at the moment.Neubacher explained the decision to leave the right-wing party and start up a new movement was made after “ongoing internal conflicts” between members and its leadership.He revealed all but two BZÖ district chiefs have joined the FBZ, and made clear that the plan was to run in the autumn city elections.Josef Bucher, federal head of the BZÖ, is yet to announce whether his party would run in the election. The BZÖ which was founded in 2005 by late right-wing spearhead Jörg Haider has its stronghold in Carinthia where Haider was governor.But the partys ambitions to become an established force in all nine provinces suffered a blow when hundreds of members of its Carinthian branch left last year to found the Carinthian Freedom Party (FPK).Carinthian Governor Gerhard Dörfler and his deputy Uwe Scheuch both left the BZÖ to found the FPK after falling out with Bucher over his rather liberal political views.After analysts initially claimed these developments would most likely lead to the BZÖs demise, the FPK recently lost in popularity.Prosecutors are investigating Scheuch after a recorded phone conversation suggests he was offering Austrian citizenship to Russian investors if they ensured around five per cent of their investment value would be donated to his party, which was the BZÖ when the conversation is alleged to have taken place.Scheuch claimed he could not remember whether the conversation took place and accused BZÖ bosses of being behind a “campaign” against himself.Stefan Petzner meanwhile announced he would resign as general secretary of the BZÖ to focus on the partys Carinthian branch. Newspapers speculated for weeks Petzner was considering leaving the post.The BZÖ is seen at around just two per cent in polls at the moment. This would not be enough to enter the Austrian parliament in general elections. The party garnered 10.7 per cent in the 2008 election when Haider was its front runner while making clear he had no plans to become an MP in order to remain governor of Carinthia.Haider died in a drink drive car crash less than a month after the election.Bucher has been trying to establish the BZÖ as a right-wing economics-orientated party, while Heinz-Christian Strache has had more success with his far-right policies heading the Freedom Party (FPÖ) Haider has led for years.

Toxic Prospects
After Assad falls, decisions will be needed on how a new Syrian government will treat its chemical legacy – one of the largest chemical weapon stockpiles ever to change hands as the result of armed struggle.

Marching Towards The Bomb
Nuclear Sword Of Damocles
Published: 28 Jun 2012, Updated: 30 Nov -0001 12:00 am
Conflict is escalating in Syria with the Assad government losing control. Rebels are receiving new shipments of armaments and have extended their control to large areas of the countryside in the north and receive new shipments of armaments, even as high-profile army defections undermine confidence in the government and strain resources.
Syria’s massive chemical arsenal poses multiple dangers as the country’s violent unrest slides into civil war. As atrocities at the hand of the Assad regime mount and the United States facilitates the arming of the rebel Free Syrian Army by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, eruption of wholesale armed conflict is probably weeks away. The outcome of the sectarian battle between Shiite Alawites and Sunnis poses enough of a regional problem. Control of chemical weapons could add mass lethality to the volatile mix.
Indeed, recent insurgent advances could soon bring one facility in the vicinity of Hamah under rebel control.
The unfolding threat looms large on the US strategic agenda. The Syrian arsenal is composed of hundreds of tons of classic and advanced chemical agents as well as munitions, from artillery shells to missile warheads that could have ranges as far as 500 kilometers.
The chemical arsenal reportedly is concentrated in some half dozen major sites. The blister agent mustard is said to be in bulk form that must be pumped into artillery shells and other ordnance, but the nerve agents are thought to be binary form: shells and warheads containing harmless solutions that combine into deadly gasses and oils when munitions are launched. US officials note that the key chemical weapon sites are guarded by elite troops, said to be composed of Alawites loyal to the Assad regime.
The United States, probably Russia, too, have surely warned Assad that use of such arms against civilians or rebel forces, foreshadowing use against civilians, is a red line that, if crossed, would inevitably trigger international intervention. Washington has certainly cautioned rebel forces against using chemical arms that may fall into their hands.
Still, the dangers cannot be minimized. The most significant would be loss of control over portions of the chemical arsenal by custodians committed to maintaining their security, triggered by any number of scenarios:
Custodians could be reassigned to the front lines of the impending civil war.
Custodians could desert posts to protect families as domestic turmoil continues.
Custodians could defect to the rebel cause, transferring control over weapons stocks to the Free Syrian Army, with confused lines of authority and plans to manage such materials that are likely non-existent.
Depending on the ebb and flow of battle, Assad could abandon the custodians if, for example, the sites fell within swaths of territory taken by rebel forces.
Or, custodians could be overrun by rebel troops, if the Free Syria Army leaders sought to demonstrate, through capture of a site symbolizing Assad’s military strength, that the Syrian leader was losing his grip on power.
In any of these chaotic settings, bribery, bargaining for passage out of the country or ideological commitment could lead remaining guardians to offer up assets under their control. One potential acquirer of great concern to the United States is South Lebanon–based Hezbollah. Even limited numbers of chemical munitions could enhance the threat to Israel and reinforce deterrence against future Israeli retaliation for conventionally armed Hezbollah rocket and missile attacks. Al Qaeda also operates in Syria. Terrorist detonation of even a dozen chemical munitions in a Western city could wreak havoc. Adding to concerns, loss of control over the vast Syrian arsenal could make it impossible to establish that none of it had passed into new hands.
The United States and its allies in the region are developing plans to address such contingencies, in particular, preventing the large-scale transfer of chemical arms out of Syria. Indeed the recent Eager Lion 12 exercise in Jordan involving 19 nations and more than 12,000 participants is said to have included this scenario among others.
One measure that should be implemented immediately is to announce that custodians who stay in place and protect these stockpiles from misadventure, will be protected, even rewarded, by the post-Assad government.
Amidst these dangers, however, may be opportunities. After Assad falls, decisions will be needed on how a new Syrian government will treat its chemical legacy – one of the largest chemical weapon stockpiles ever to change hands as the result of armed struggle.
Syria is one of a handful of states that have not joined the 1997 Chemical Weapon Convention, which prohibits parties from possessing these weapons and requires them to destroy existing stocks. A key goal for the United States, which would be widely supported by other nations, would include orchestrating Syria’s commitment to eliminating its arsenal and joining the convention.
Washington and its friends in Europe and in the region have powerful inducements. For governments coming to power through revolution, civil war or secession, gaining international recognition and legitimacy are crucial, immediate goals as are integration into the world economy and, depending on the circumstances, obtaining significant outside economic assistance. Renouncing weapons of mass destruction by terminating suspect activities, eliminating stocks and subscribing to key nonproliferation treaties has repeatedly been a requirement for such benefits – Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine all took these steps, focused on renunciations of nuclear weapons or nuclear-weapon programs, in the 1980s and 1990s.
Libya did so as well, in 2003, following a sudden volte-face decision to seek accommodation with the international community following decades of rogue behavior. Libya abandoned its nuclear weapon program and joined the Chemical Weapon Convention, agreeing to destroy its sizeable chemical arsenal, by placing it under the monitoring system of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). By the time the Libyan civil war erupted in February 2011, it had destroyed more than half of its stocks of chemical warfare agent. The new government in Tripoli will continue this process.
The Syrian government that replaces Assad must be pressed to take similar steps as a condition for recognition and sustained support. Unfortunately, unlike Libya and the other previous renouncing states, which faced no external antagonists when they abandoned their WMD, any government that takes power in Damascus can be expected to consider itself the heir to Syria’s decades-long confrontation with Israel. In these circumstances, Syria’s chemical arsenal may be seen both as an essential deterrent to counter Israel’s nuclear capability and valuable bargaining chip, to be relinquished only in return for a significant concession from Israel, such as return of the Golan Heights.
To avoid such a relapse to the status quo, as the Assad regime approaches collapse, with neither the regime nor the insurgents fully controlling the state apparatus or Syria’s chemical arsenal, Washington and its allies must take steps to secure the arsenal under an international umbrella – perhaps through the deployment of international chemical-weapons security teams, including OPCW experts. Conditions on the ground will establish the presumption that the arsenal must be eliminated before a new government can revert to Syria’s traditional stance.
Because the moment will pass quickly, the United States must begin planning now. Otherwise, Syria’s chemical armaments could continue to cast their shadow over the region for decades to come.

In the last decade of the 20th century, a rapid increase in data quantity, reduction in the data storage costs and improvements in the data analysis tools and techniques started to change the way organizations operate.
Effective management and successful adaptation to this change could only be manageable by developing the technical capacity of the existing IT structure. At this point, transition to the synchronized data reporting and using an automation tool of “Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems” become inevitable.
By becoming widespread usage of ERP systems in organizations; data management approaches such as data collection, storage and usage started to be carried out over complex and multidimensional data tables, which also affected and caused radical changes in the field of internal audit assurance activities. At this point, it becomes clear that it is impossible to provide assurance on complex control systems with large volumes of transactions by traditional auditing lacing data-oriented and analytical approaches. It turned out that the detection of management weaknesses and fraud in a timely manner by covering the entire transaction population can only be achieved with data-oriented and automated approaches such as "continuous auditing" and "continuous monitoring".
Why Traditional Internal Audit Approach Become Insufficient in Data Driven Dynamic Environment?
In traditional internal audit approach, collecting and processing the data and reporting phases are conducted manually and subjected to high costs and significant time delays. Furthermore, audits were based on a representative sampling method which may not ensure success to detect all relevant audit findings.
Even if we assume that all relevant findings are detected by a representative sampling, traditional internal audit activities are performed periodically for a specific cycle such as order to cash, purchase to pay and etc, which may cause a time lag between “the leakage occurrence” and “detection”. Considering the damage/loss may increase depending on the prolonged detection time, early detection plays a vital role.
Through data-driven approach, collecting and processing the data and reporting phrases can be conducted on time with significantly reduced costs and a hundred percent population coverage.
Power of Dynamic Data-Driven Analytics in Internal Audit
The power of data driven dynamic analysis makes it possible to conduct continuous auditing and monitoring techniques in internal audit.
Once the audit queries are properly established based on the relevant audit scenarios, manual controls are replaced with automated controls through “continuous auditing” and “continuous monitoring”. Analytical tools can automatically pull the data from internal and external sources to reveal the hidden patterns and data correlations, allowing audit team to use its limited resources focusing on exception reports and red flags where human judgment is required. This approach can be repeated continuously on a defined frequency to identify control issues on a real time basis with minimized costs.
In “continuous monitoring” method, management or other users do not need to run a report to analyze the insights. The requested information and analysis results are reported on a real time basis in the format of dashboards, according to the designed dynamic audit queries.
Steps to Consider for Data-Driven Internal Audit Function
Resistance to change is a universal phenomenon. Despite the many potential benefits of data-driven approach, recent surveys indicate that approximately 75 percent of the companies have no formal analytic approach yet, and only 5 percent of the companies continuously use control monitoring tools and improve their analytical processes and procedures accordingly.
The top barrier to implementation of big data analytics is inadequate staffing or skills for big data analytics (Source: The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI)). It is obvious that the idea is not to try to change the world overnight. The process will be intensive and ongoing. Internal auditors first need to become proficient in using analytics software and performing analysis and only after that they can apply data-analytics methods to deliver their internal audit projects.
Applying data-analytics to deliver internal audit projects starts with properly defined objectives which are aligned with the company strategy and governance. Change management, validation, access, data security, tool selection, initial and ongoing costs, data considerations (availability, accessibility, quality, format, storage, etc.) are critical considerations of strategy and governance.
Integrating data analytics into internal audit requires a comprehensive and sharp change in culture and the internal audit approach, but in return, it maximizes its ability to continuously monitor the key risks through an improved speed, accuracy and effective cost management.
The title of this article refers to a metaphor that comes from the act of sharpening knives. You sharpen a knife when it's dull to make it perform better. Referring to this metaphor, you can restructure your traditional internal audit function by implementing data analytics to respond risks better.
Don't you think it is time to keep up with the change for an effective assurance environment at your company

After leaving the Temple on the Sea, we passed a Mosque, a big school and I found a pretty blue flower when we stopped.
42% of Trinidad and Tobago's one and a half million population traces its ancestry to India. Indo-Trinidadians make up the countries largest ethnic group. They are primarily descendants from indentured workers from India brought when slavery was abolished and there was an acute lack of workers when the freed African slaves refused to continue working on the sugar plantations. The Indian Community is divided roughly half and half between those who maintained their original Hindu or Muslim religions and those who have taken to Christianity or have no religious affiliation. Through cultural preservation groups, Trinidadians of Indian descent maintain at least some of their customs and rites. In the early 1980's Sri Swami Ganapati Sachchidananda from the Avadhoota Datta Peetham in Mysore, India, established a Dattatreya temple in central Trinidad just east of Waterloo.
By 1986 a temple was formed and throughout the 1990's the pink and white temple continued to develop into a south Indian style mandir and a compound for the Hindu community was expanded.
In 2001, Swamiji had the idea that a special murti should be erected. It took two years and the contributions of many devotees, but by the 9th of June 2003 Kumbhabishekam was performed for a magnificent, 85 foot tall murti of Hanuman or Hanumanji. Located in Carapichaima, this 85 foot murti is reputed to be the largest of its kind outside of India. The murti stands on the grounds of the Dattatreya Yoga Centre and Mandir and attracts devotees offering gifts and performing the ritual of pradakshina (circumambulation while uttering the sacred Hanuman mantra).
The dog sleeping, Bear with his hat on the the faithful camel patiently waiting.
The temple is vast inside and Hanuman is impressive outside
Jessie teased me as I could not remember Hanuman's name and had thought our trip to the Temple on the Sea was our last stop. "No, No where is the tallest thingy outside India" "I'll have to look it up for you".
The wise teacher, Bear still with the camel and the rear view of Hanuman
In the grounds stands a Canon Ball Tree. The balls hang from bangs that stick out from the trunk. Jessie held the flower of the tree and didn't want anyone to handle the balls as they have a terrible smell.

Steve Lee’s Feel-Good Music Videos for Gun Owners
Most of you have seen the “I Like Guns” music video by Australian singer/songwriter Steve Lee. This politically-incorrect ballad was released a couple years back, but in this election year, we thought it deserved an encore performance. In the song, Lee describes his affection for guns large and small, from revolvers to shotguns to safari rifles to .22 LR plinkers.
Lee wrote the song, in part, to draw attention to the gun restrictions in his home country of Australia. As a result of those tough gun laws, ownership of semi-automatic rifles and many types of handguns is tightly regulated down under. Consequently, some of the sequences in Lee’s pro-gun music videos have been filmed in other countries.
Steve Lee grew up in outback NSW and guns have always been a part of his life. “I never knew that people didn’t have guns when I was a kid, it just seemed like a normal, practical thing to have and shooting seemed like a normal, fun thing to do”. Now 42, Steve hasn’t slowed up and still loves guns just as much. He’s a member of his local pistol club, and enjoys nothing more than spending a weekend camping and shooting with his family and friends. His love of guns has led him all over the world from Africa to America, all places that allowed him to experience freedom with different types of guns.
On his Ilikeguns.com.au website, Steve explains: “I really wanted … to help us reflect on the good aspects of gun ownership and remind us that guns are a part of our Australian heritage. Both my dad and my grandfather owned guns and never had any trouble.”
If you enjoyed the “I Like Guns” video, you’ll get a kick out of Steve’s recent release, “I’ve Shot Every Gun”. Steve wrote the lyrics, but the tune is based on the song “I’ve Been Everywhere’ written by Aussie Geoff Mack in 1959 and popularized by North American performers Hank Snow and Johnny Cash.

I can relate to that. There’s nothing more inspiring than good gun music. Listen to Hogjaw Gitsum sometime.
This is saddening. I follow this site for real shooting-related information – not this banal “gun culture” crapola.

Photoconversion of Carbon Dioxide in Zinc–Copper–Gallium Layered Double Hydroxides: the Kinetics to Hydrogen Carbonate and Further to CO/Methanol
Motoharu Morikawa, Naveed Ahmed, Yusuke Yoshida, Yasuo Izumi, Applied Catalysis B, 144, 561 – 569 (2014); DOI: 10.1016/j.apcatb.2013.07.065[The PDF file]
Photocatalytic reaction mechanism for the conversion of CO2 into methanol and CO using layered double hydroxides (LDHs) consisting of Zn, Cu, and Ga was investigated. X-ray absorption fine structure was applied to determine the LDH site structures and to monitor the diffusion of photogenerated electrons to CuII sites. Electron diffusion to Cu sites was an order of magnitude faster in the direction of the cationic layers (580 micromol h−1 gcat−1) than in the perpendicular direction. According to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, CO2 was in equilibrium with hydrogen carbonate (1629 cm−1 for H13CO3) for the reaction with hydroxy group from the cationic layer or interlayer site and/or with interlayer water. The equilibrium reactions were faster for [Zn3Ga(OH)8]+2[Cu(OH)4]2–·mH2O (400–110 miromol h−1 gcat−1) than for [Zn1.5Cu1.5Ga(OH)8]+2(CO3)2–·mH2O. Furthermore, the reductive decomposition of hydrogen carbonate was suggested in H2 under UV-visible light, suggesting photocatalytic pathway to methanol/CO.

The Ultimate Foe
Publication Date 15 September 1988
Snatched out of time and space and brought before the Time Lords on Gallifrey, the Sixth Doctor is on trial for his life.
While The Doctor asserts that the evidence of the Matrix, the repository of all Time Lord knowledge, has been tampered with, the mysterious and vengeful prosecuting council, the Valeyard, is confident that The Doctor will be sentenced to death.
In a dramatic intervention the Valeyard’s true identity is revealed but he escapes from the courtroom into the Matrix, and it is into this nightmare world that The Doctor must follow – to face his ultimate foe …

The Master states”The Valeyard, Doctor, is your penultimate reincarnation… Somewhere between your twelfth and thirteenth regeneration“. In the televised show the line is “The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature, somewhere between your twelfth and final incarnation.”
Glitz initially mistakes The Valeyard for The Doctor’s brother, noting that they possess similar facial features.
The Inqusitor’s place at the trial is noted to be part of her ambitious career. To preside over such an important inquiry would earn her a seat on the High Council, but the unusual nature of the Master’s interference has jeopardised those prospects.
The Court is permitted to watch The Doctor’s first entry to the Matrix unfurl as they had with the events on Ravolox, Thoros Beta and aboard the Hyperion III.
Maintenance of the Matrix is delegated to the Elzevirs, inhabitants of Leptonica in the constellation of Daedalus. Specialists in delicate micro-technology, the supervisor of the supercomputer repair team, Nilex, was hypnotised by The Master who used the opportunity to make a duplicate Key of Rassilon.
The novelisation features an epilogue aboard the TARDIS between The Doctor and Mel. Despite her eagerness to travel with him, he points out to her that she must be returned to where she was abducted in order to maintain the continuity of time. Mel departs to the surface of Oxyveguramosa, where she reunites with her Sixth Doctor. The story goes on to state that The Doctor would experience a series of adventures that would culminate in a confrontation with The Rani.

Trust in Automation
April 22, 2008 Anne McLaughlin 6 Comments
I’ve heard a great deal about trust and automation over the years, but this has to be my favorite new example of over-reliance on a system.
GPS routed bus under bridge, company says
“The driver of the bus carrying the Garfield High School girls softball team that hit a brick and concrete footbridge was using a GPS navigation system that routed the tall bus under the 9-foot bridge, the charter company’s president said Thursday.Steve Abegg, president of Journey Lines in Lynnwood, said the off-the-shelf navigation unit had settings for car, motorcycle, bus or truck. Although the unit was set for a bus, it chose a route through the Washington Park Arboretum that did not provide enough clearance for the nearly 12-foot-high vehicle, Abegg said. The driver told police he did not see the flashing lights or yellow sign posting the bridge height.
“We haven’t really had serious problems with anything, but here it’s presented a problem that we didn’t consider,” Abegg said of the GPS unit. “We just thought it would be a safe route because, why else would they have a selection for a bus?””
Link to original story (with pictures of sheared bus and bridge)
Indeed, why WOULD “they” have a selection for a bus? Here is an excerpt from the manual (Disclosure: I am assuming it’s the same model):
“Calculate Routes for – Lets you take full advantage of the routing information built in the City Navigator maps. Some roads have vehicle-based restrictions. For example, a street or gate may be accessible by emergency vehicles only, or a residential street may not allow commercial trucking traffic. By specifying which vehicle type you are driving, you can avoid being routed through an area that is prohibited for your type of vehicle. Likewise, the ******** III may give you access to roads or turns that wouldn’t be available to normal traffic. The following options are available:
Car/Motorcycle
Truck (large semi-tractor/trailer
Emergency (ambulance, fire department, police, etc.)
Delivery (delivery vehicles)
Bicycle (avoids routing through interstates and major highways)
If we can assume no automation can be 100% reliable, at what point to people put too much trust in the system? At what point do they ignore the system in favor of more difficult methods, such as a paper map?At what point is a system so misleading that it should not be offered at all? Sanchez (2006) addressed this question and related type and timing of error to amount of trust placed in the automation. Trust declined sharply (for a time) after an error, so we may assume the Seattle driver might have re-checked the route manually had other (less catastrophic) errors occurred in the past.*
The spokesman for the GPS company is quoted in the above article as stating:
“Stoplights aren’t in our databases, either, but you’re still expected to stop for stoplights.”
I didn’t read the whole manual, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t say the GPS would warn you of stoplights, a closer analogy to the actual feature that contributed to the accident. This is a time where an apology and a promise of re-design might serve the company better than blaming their users.
*Not a good strategy for preventing accidents!

Jeff Garbers says:
I think the key phrase is here:
The driver told police he did not see the flashing lights or yellow sign posting the bridge height.
Maybe the bigger problem is with the signage and/or driver’s inattention. It’s hard to imagine any responsible driver saying “well, that looks like it’s close to the height of my bus, but if the GPS says we’ll clear, then I’ll just go for it…”
Anne McLaughlin says:
That is a good point! Personal responsibility can’t go out the window.
It sounds like the difference between a prescriptive model and a descriptive one.. people SHOULD still pay close attention to signs, know the height of their bus, etc. But if we know that they do not (or won’t) then how can we keep them safe?
I’d be interested in ways to alter a person’s trust to a level appropriate for the reliability of the system. Perhaps this information could be embedded in the system itself, and be vivid enough to provide an “experience” of system failure without them actually having to experience an automation error.
ryan k. says:
Facinating!! I am very interested to see the information which should be surfacing right about now in regards to the system/automation/user errors in typical GPS usage in common road automobiles (busses, trucks, large trucks, cars). Since the systems have been increasing in mainstream use for the past 4 or so years (I think?) and have come down to a semi-justifiable purchase price, I can’t wait to see all the goodies of infobits that come out…
One thing that sparked a big golden “?” over my head here was the idea that having the GPS, while a great tool, could increase the user error due to the stress level of a multi-passenger driving scenario, like a school bus, with a lot of activity… is it possible that adding the extra bit of direction from a source that should be authoritative creates an automation error due to overinformation? Or would one think experienced bus drivers would be somewhat in tune with the noise/commotion of their surroundings, and maybe the GPS adds that slight bit of technological environmental change and discomfort?
Such fun! I love this blog 🙂
Richard Pak says:
I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been lulled into errors due to too much trust in GPS–but involving taking a turn when I shouldn’t have 😮
I’ll out my parents in this comment.
They are 61 and 80 and spent a month last fall driving up and down the east coast. For this, the bought their first talking GPS, which they named “Lulu.”
Quotes from both of them include:
“We love her! She’s so patient, even though we make her recalculate all the time.”
“I have no idea where we are. We just do what Lulu tells us to do.”
Having said that, they did make it through a month of driving every day, even with 100% trust in Lulu’s “knowledge.”

Fulltext Integrated shotgun sequencing and bioinformatics pipeline allows ultra-fast mitogenome recovery and confirms substantial gene rearrangements in Australian freshwater crayfishes
Gan HM, Schultz MB, Austin CM
BMC Evol. Biol., 2014;14:19.
PMID: 24484414 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2148-14-19
Although it is possible to recover the complete mitogenome directly from shotgun sequencing data, currently reported methods and pipelines are still relatively time consuming and costly. Using a sample of the Australian freshwater crayfish Engaeus lengana, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve three-day turnaround time (four hours hands-on time) from tissue sample to NCBI-ready submission file through the integration of MiSeq sequencing platform, Nextera sample preparation protocol, MITObim assembly algorithm and MITOS annotation pipeline.

MitoPhAST, a new automated mitogenomic phylogeny tool in the post-genomic era with a case study of 89 decapod mitogenomes including eight new freshwater crayfish mitogenomes
Tan MH, Gan HM, Schultz MB, Austin CM
Mol Phylogenet Evol, 2015 Apr;85:180-8.
PMID: 25721538 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2015.02.009
The increased rate at which complete mitogenomes are being sequenced and their increasing use for phylogenetic studies have resulted in a bioinformatic bottleneck in preparing and utilising such data for phylogenetic analysis. Hence, we present MitoPhAST, an automated tool that (1) identifies annotated protein-coding gene features and generates a standardised, concatenated and partitioned amino acid alignment directly from complete/partial GenBank/EMBL-format mitogenome flat files, (2) generates a maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree using optimised protein models and (3) reports various mitochondrial genes and sequence information in a table format. To demonstrate the capacity of MitoPhAST in handling a large dataset, we used 81 publicly available decapod mitogenomes, together with eight new complete mitogenomes of Australian freshwater crayfishes, including the first for the genus Gramastacus, to undertake an updated test of the monophyly of the major groups of the order Decapoda and their phylogenetic relationships. The recovered phylogenetic trees using both Bayesian and ML methods support the results of studies using fragments of mtDNA and nuclear markers and other smaller-scale studies using whole mitogenomes. In comparison to the fragment-based phylogenies, nodal support values are generally higher despite reduced taxon sampling suggesting there is value in utilising more fully mitogenomic data. Additionally, the simple table output from MitoPhAST provides an efficient summary and statistical overview of the mitogenomes under study at the gene level, allowing the identification of missing or duplicated genes and gene rearrangements. The finding of new mtDNA gene rearrangements in several genera of Australian freshwater crayfishes indicates that this group has undergone an unusually high rate of evolutionary change for this organelle compared to other major families of decapod crustaceans. As a result, freshwater crayfishes are likely to be a useful model for studies designed to understand the evolution of mtDNA rearrangements. We anticipate that our bioinformatics pipeline will substantially help mitogenome-based studies increase the speed, accuracy and efficiency of phylogenetic studies utilising mitogenome information. MitoPhAST is available for download at https://github.com/mht85/MitoPhAST.

PMID: 25738217 DOI: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1018207
The Austropotamobius pallipes complete mitogenome has been recovered using Next-Gen sequencing. Our sample of A. pallipes has a mitogenome of 15,679 base pairs (68.44% A + T content) made up of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a 877 bp non-coding AT-rich region. This is the first mitogenome sequenced for a crayfish from the family Astacidae and the 4(th) for northern hemisphere genera.

Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal, 2016 09;27(5):3333-4.
The mitogenome of Paranephrops planifrons, was obtained by next generation sequencing. This crayfish has a mitochondrial genome of 16,174 base pairs with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNA), and a non-coding AT-rich region of 771 bp. The P. planifrons nucleotide composition is: 33.63% for T, 21.92% for C, 34.46% for A, and 9.98% for G and has a 68.09% AT bias. While the mitogenome gene order for this species is consistent with aspects of the highly distinctive parastacid crayfish mitogenome gene arrangement, it has a novel gene order involving the rearrangements of a protein coding and several tRNA genes.
More evolution underground: Accelerated mitochondrial substitution rate in Australian burrowing freshwater crayfishes (Decapoda: Parastacidae)
Gan HM, Tan MH, Lee YP, Schultz MB, Horwitz P, Burnham Q, et al.
Mol Phylogenet Evol, 2018 01;118:88-98.
To further understand the evolutionary history and mitogenomic features of Australia's highly distinctive freshwater crayfish fauna, we utilized a recently described rapid mitogenome sequencing pipeline to generate 24 new crayfish mitogenomes including a diversity of burrowing crayfish species and the first for Astacopsis gouldi, the world's largest freshwater invertebrate. Whole mitogenome-based phylogeny estimates using both Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood methods substantially strengthen existing hypotheses for systematic relationships among Australian freshwater crayfish with evidence of pervasive diversifying selection and accelerated mitochondrial substitution rate among the members of the clade representing strongly burrowing crayfish that may reflect selection pressures for increased energy requirement for adaptation to terrestrial environment and a burrowing lifestyle. Further, gene rearrangements are prevalent in the burrowing crayfish mitogenomes involving both tRNA and protein coding genes. In addition, duplicated control regions were observed in two closely related Engaeus species, together with evidence for concerted evolution. This study significantly adds to the understanding of Australian freshwater crayfish evolutionary relationships and suggests a link between mitogenome evolution and adaptation to terrestrial environments and a burrowing lifestyle in freshwater crayfish.

The mitochondrial genome sequence of the Australian crayfish, Euastacus yarraensis, is documented and compared with other Australian crayfish genera. Euastacus yarraensis has a mitogenome of 15,548 base pairs consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal subunit genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding AT-rich region. The base composition of E. yarraensis mitogenome is 32.39% for T, 22.45% for C, 34.43% for A, and 10.73% for G, with an AT bias of 66.82%. The mitogenome gene order conforms to what is considered the primitive arrangement for parastacid crayfish.

Fulltext Allah’s wondrous creatures, the holy Qur’an and technological inventions: ultrasound imaging
Sayed, Inayatullah Shah
International Medical Journal Malaysia, 2018;17(101):83-88.
Allah (s.w.t) has created innumerable distinct creatures and mentioned to us about their special qualities through His revelation. The Qur’an is the ultimate source of guidance for its followers for all aspects of life including science. If one is to study nature scientifically there are countless observable facts that are parallel to the teachings of Islam. One of these facts is echolocation found in bats and dolphins. These animals generate ultrasonic signals and detect the echoes reflected back to them to map out their environment and catch prey. Modern health sciences have already adopted this phenomenon in the form of ultrasound imaging for diagnosis of certain diseases. However, there is room for improvement in the overall performance of this technique. This article highlights the technological developments directly inspired by nature i.e., crawfish/crayfish and relates echolocation characteristics of bats and dolphins with basic principles of ultrasound imaging. In-depth studies on the echolocation properties of these creatures can lead to further improvement in the current ultrasound imaging technique. Such as; the construction of a transducer which simultaneously generates multi-frequency ultrasound signals and development of new interpreting software. Moreover, reading verses of the Holy Qur’an heartily and enthusiastically will lead to the development of innovative ideas that can be translated into reality and applied for the betterment of humankind.

Fulltext Allergens derived from shrimp
Mary Margaret, P.D.S., Jinap, S., Ahmad Faizal, A.R.
International Food Research Journal, 2015;22(5):1751-1754.
Allergy caused by food is usually type 1 allergy of four types of allergic reactions. One of the most widespread allergic is those that are caused by crustacean shellfish. Crustaceans are classified among arthropods which include crab, crayfish, lobster, prawn and shrimp. Shrimp which are broadly consumed as nutritional food is one of the most important food that contribute to allergy. Thus, reducing the allergenicity of shrimp allergen will be helpful to individuals who are sensitive to shrimp and for this reason the characteristics of each allergen need to be studied. Those sensitized individuals can develop urticaria, angiodema, laryngospasm, asthma and life threatening anaphylaxis. To date, four main allergens contribute to allergic reactions. They are tropomyosin (TM), a highly conserved and heat stable myofibrillar protein of 35-38 kDa followed by arginine kinase (AK) which is also known as Pen m 2 or Lit v 2 with 40 kDa. Two other contributing allergens are sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein (SCP) also known as Lit v 4 with 22 kDa and myosin light chain (MLC) which is also termed as Lit v 3 with 20 kDa. This mini-review will provide a better understanding of each allergen derived from shrimp which subsequently will help to reduce the allergenicity.
PmPPAF is a pro-phenoloxidase activating factor involved in innate immunity response of the shrimp Penaeus monodon
Ma TH, Benzie JA, He JG, Sun CB, Chan SF

PMID: 24345607 DOI: 10.1016/j.dci.2013.12.007
One of the major steps in the innate immune response of shrimp includes the activation of serine proteinases of the pro-phenoloxidase pathway by the prophenoloxidase activation enzyme (PPAF). In this study, the cDNA encoding a serine proteinase homologue (SPH) with prophenoloxidase activating activity of Penaeus monodon (PmPPAF) was cloned and characterized. PmPPAF cDNA consists of 1444 nucleotides encoding a protein with 394 amino acid residues. The estimated molecular weight of PmPPAF is 43.5 kDa with an isoelectric point of 5.19. PmPPAF consists of a signal peptide, a CLIP domain and a carboxyl-terminal trypsin-like serine protease domain. It is highly similar to the masquerade-like protein 2A (61% similarity) of the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus, other serine proteases (42.9-67% identity) of P. monodon, and the PPAF of the crab (61% similarity). Unlike other SPH of P. monodon, which express mainly in the hemocytes, PmPPAF transcripts were detected in the hemocytes, eyestalk, hypodermis, gill, swimming leg and brain. Similar to the crab PPAF, PmPPAF transcript level is high in shrimp at the premolt stages and PmPPAF expression is up-regulated in shrimp infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). Gene silencing of PmPPAF decreased expression of a prophenoloxidase-like gene and injection of Anti-PmPPAF antibody causes a decrease in PO activity. Taken together, these results provided evidence that PmPPAF is a serine proteinase homologue, and is involved in the pro-PO activation pathway of the shrimp innate immune system.

Homotopy-sets in homotopy type theory
A structural set theory is a set theory which describes structural mathematics, and only structural mathematics: Sets are conceived as objects that have elements, and are related to each other by functions or relations. In the most common structural set theories such as ETCS, sets are characterized by the functions between them, i.e. by the category (“Set”) which they form (Lawvere 65). This is what essentially all the application of set theory in the practice of mathematics actually uses – a point amplified by the approach of the introductory textbook Lawvere-Rosebrugh 03.
This is in contrast to traditional Zermelo-Fraenkel-style “material set theory” where a global set-membership relation “∈\in” forces one to think of all elements of sets as sets themselves, hence of sets-of-sets-of-sets-…, a feature that is almost never actually used or even considered in mathematics, away from the study of material set theory itself.
As conceived by the structuralist, mathematics is the study of structures whose form is independent of the particular attributes of the things that make them up. For instance, in ZF set theory, “the set of natural numbers” can be defined as the von Neumann naturals ω N={∅,{∅},{∅,{∅}},…}\omega_N = \{ \emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}, \dots \} or alternately as the Zermelo naturals ω Z={∅,{∅},{{∅}},…}\omega_Z = \{ \emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\{\emptyset\}\}, \dots \}, but either definition has all the necessary properties (namely, the properties making it a natural numbers object in the category of sets, when equipped with an appropriate successor operation). See, for instance, Benacerraf’s paper.
The structuralist says, essentially, that the number “33” should denote “the third place in a natural numbers object” rather than some particular set such as {∅,{∅},{∅,{∅}}}\{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}, \{\emptyset, \{\emptyset\}\}\} as it does in any definition of “the set of natural numbers” in ZF.
Structural set theory provides a foundation of mathematics which is free of this “superfluous baggage” attendant on theories such as ZF, in which there is lots of information such as whether or not 3∈173\in 17 (yes, says von Neumann; no, says Zermelo) which is never used in mathematics. In a structural set theory, the elements (such as 33) of a set (such as ℕ\mathbb{N}) have no identity apart from their existence as elements of that set, and whatever structure is given to that set by the functions and relations placed upon it. That is, sets (together with other attendant concepts such as elements, functions, and relations) are the “raw material” from which mathematical structures are built. By contrast, theories such as ZF may be called material set theories or membership-based set theories.
Thus, somewhat paradoxically, it turns out that one of the primary attributes of a structural set theory is that the elements of a set have no “internal” structure; they are only given structure by means of functions and relations. In particular, they are not themselves sets, and by default cannot be elements of any other set (not in the sense that it is false that they are, but in the sense that it is meaningless to ask whether they are), so that elements of different sets cannot be compared (unless and until extra structure is imposed). Structural set theory thus looks very much like type theory. We contrast it with material set theories such as ZF, in which the elements of sets can have internal structure, and are often (perhaps always) themselves sets.
Structural set theories can be distinguished by whether they include a formal notion of family of sets. Those that do are known as first-order set theories, while those that do not are known as zeroth-order set theories. Higher-order set theories have a notion of families of families in addition to families of sets. This parallels logic, where the role of propositions is played by sets and the role of predicates is played by families. Many structural set theories are only zeroth-order set theories, but the hSets and functions from hSets to the type hSet in homotopy type theory form a higher-order set theory.
It is hard to say precisely what makes a set theory “structural”, but one attempt is the notion of a structurally presented set theory.
The original, and most commonly cited, categorially presented structural set theory is the elementary theory of the category of sets, or ETCS for short (Lawvere 65).
Therefore structural set theory is also called categorial set theory.
ETCS axiomatizes the category Set of sets as a well-pointed topos and thus lends itself to foundations of mathematics in topos theory. As such this is similar to the h-set-theory found in homotopy type theory (below), which forms a ΠW-pretopos.
ETCS is weaker than ZFC. To handle some esoteric parts of modern mathematics (such as?) it must be supplemented with an axiom of collection, although it suffices for most everyday uses.
McLarty 93 argues that ETCS resolves the issues originally raised by Benacerraf 65.
Another structural set theory, which is stronger than ETCS (since it includes the axiom of collection by default) and also less closely tied to category theory, is SEAR.
Set theory set up in extensional intuitionistic type theory via setoids is structural.
Local set theory avoids the use of any global universe but instead is formulated in a many-sorted language that has various forms of sorts including, for each sort a power-sort; see Bell and Aczel.
The collection of h-sets in homotopy type theory constitute a ΠW-pretopos, hence a structural set theory (Rijke-Spitters 13).

Looking back a decade at the origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s hard to imagine that what began with a box of scraps in a cave would turn into this cosmic juggernaut featuring a multitude of comic book characters and storylines from across the galaxy. Last year’s Avengers: Infinity War brought them all together to take on the Mad Titan Thanos in his quest for the six Infinity Stones and then snapped them in half by the film’s end. Avengers: Endgame is about dealing with its fallout and the struggle move on from their biggest loss yet. The culmination of the past 11 years and 21 films from Marvel Studios, Endgame hits all the emotional levels and brilliantly captures that comic book magic. There is no other film experience like it!
The film picks up from where Infinity War left off with half of all living things in the universe turning to dust in the wind. Determined to do whatever it takes, the remaining Avengers regroup for an all out attack against Thanos and reclaim the Infinity Stones in the hopes of undoing the snap.
It’s no doubt difficult to talk about the film without going into spoiler territory, but Endgame delivers one of the most satisfying payoffs in Hollywood history. Fans have spent years with these characters, dating back to Iron Man in 2008, and Endgame manages to pull off the near impossible feat of bringing all these storylines together for a satisfying conclusion where every character interaction or fan service reference feels earned.
The biggest surprise of Avengers: Endgame is that it isn’t as action packed as you would expect and it more of an emotional journey that connects the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are scenes in the beginning that deal with the immediate impact of Thanos wiping out half the universe and how society should move on, and I can’t help but see the parallels with Endgame being the conclusion to not just Phase Three but all the films that came before it. Right from the start of the film, it’s giving audiences advise on how to move on to whatever comes next from the MCU.
Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have handled massive character set pieces in the past with Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, but neither of those two compare to the scale of Endgame. It’s absolutely massive, and the brothers do a fantastic job at spreading out the screen time and making sure everyone has their moment in the spotlight. There are of course plenty of surprises as well, and the story will have you on the edge of your seat, eyes wide in amazement.
Avengers: Endgame is pure excitement. It takes control of your emotions and immerses you in the experience of a lifetime. There really is no other film quite like it. Yes, it has a couple of plot elements that don’t quite make sense when you take a deep look into them, but for three hours the film makes you feel like a part of their world. Rarely do films live up to the hype of their predecessors. Endgame does that 21 times over.

ECB pressed for answers by MP as scrutiny grows on Clarke

Protesters outside The Oval call to ‘change cricket’ (Archive footage)
The England & Wales Cricket Board is under pressure to confirm whether it intends to put forward Giles Clarke, the board president, as its nominee for the forthcoming election for ICC chairman in June, in spite of his prominent role in the ICC structural reforms of February 2014 that were widely discredited in last month’s board meeting in Dubai.
With Clarke facing an appearance before the Department of Culture Media and Sport Select Committee later in the year, where his role in the so-called “Big Three takeover” will be scrutinised by MPs, Damian Collins, the Conservative MP for Folkestone and Hythe who sits on the committee, has called on the ECB to answer six questions pertaining to Clarke’s ongoing role and the board’s overall commitment to good governance that he believes “the cricketing public deserve to know”.
Collins confirmed that the questions, which were last week emailed to Colin Graves, the ECB chairman, in advance of Monday night’s special Parliamentary screening of the award-winning documentary Death of a Gentleman, remain unanswered, raising the possibility that Clarke might already be ICC chairman by the time he is questioned in Parliament.
“We did get a statement back from the ECB but they weren’t able to answer any of those questions,” Collins told ESPNcricinfo. “In particular there has been no response to the issue of Giles Clarke’s suitability to stand as ICC chairman.”
Although Clarke’s candidacy received a blow earlier this year, when it emerged that neither South Africa nor Australia would be willing to back his bid to become chairman, the requirement that all nominees must be either a past or present ICC Board director – as agreed in Dubai last month – may yet limit the number of viable alternatives for the role.
Clarke, who was ECB chairman at the time of the ICC reforms, was handed the specially created role of ECB president in 2015 when his eight-year tenure came to an end. The ECB’s reluctance to clarify the details of his new relationship with the board appear at odds with the general move among sporting bodies towards transparent and accountable governance, in the wake of scandals that have gripped football, athletics and tennis in recent times.
“This is a crucial moment for cricket,” Collins said. “We have put six key questions to the ECB, because the cricketing public deserve to know how their game is being run.
“England, along with India and Australia, are the most influential boards at the ICC. In August I accused them of orchestrating a back-room power grab that saw these three countries taking over the game at the expense of the other 102.
“We welcome the news from the recent ICC board meeting that the ICC is considering governance reform but we want to know what the ECB thinks that reform should look like.
“It is hugely important that cricket does not miss this opportunity to embrace meaningful reform, and that the ECB are at the forefront of ensuring that the international game gets the independent, transparent and accountable governance it deserves. And if the ECB disagrees, we need to know why.”
An ECB spokesman would not be drawn on the subject of Mr Collins’ questions, but reiterated the board’s previous statement, that it welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the Select Committee’s ongoing enquiry into sports governance. To date, hearings have been with Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, over Fifa corruption; Sebastian Coe, the IAAF president, over doping in athletics, and Chris Kermode of the ATP over matchfixing in tennis.

My take on Duffy, from a year ago this week
While myriad controversies—always nouns, always with “gate” appended as a suffix—always transfix the commentariat, they always leave Mr. and Mrs. Frontporch cold. The Duffy “scandal” is no exception.
That is because scandal-mongering, like the Senate itself, is a thankless task (and taskless thanks). With perhaps the notable historic exception of the Watergate break-in, it doesn’t really work anymore.
There are three reasons why:
1. The media/political punditocracy refer to everything, pretty much, as a scandal.
2. Regrettably, if you were to ask Joe and Jane Frontporch—and someone really should, one of these days—they would tell you: they already believe that everyone who wields power in Ottawa/Washington/wherever is an unindicted co-conspirator, i.e., a crook. Ipso facto, news reports to the effect that a politician has allegedly committed theft, fraud, and breach of trust aren’t news at all. They are, instead, like weather reports: they happen every day, they are rarely good news, and there is nothing Joe and Jane can do about them.
3. Joe and Jane Frontporch have heard the hysteria and histrionics about “scandals” way, way too many times. Way. And, consequently, they now don’t believe any of it until the good Senator is led away in handcuffs and a fetching orange pantsuit.
In the real world, the real scandals are things like not having a job, and being unable to pay the bills. The real scandals are seeing your ailing parent curled up on a bed in a hospital corridor, waiting days to get seen by a doctor. The real scandals are governments spending untold billions on security—only to thereafter shrug when some deranged, lone wolf fanatic slips through their labyrinth of scanners and spies, and commit terrible crimes.
Those things, to Joe and Jane Frontporch, are the real scandals.
Not, to put a fine point on it, Mike Duffy. That, they feel, is just another sad case of Ottawa talking about Ottawa—and not the real scandals, in the real world.

16 of 31 charges dismissed so far as of 12:50pm. Ruling ongoing.
28 of 31 dismissed.
Reporters now expecting acquittal on all 31 charges.
Disaster for the RCMP and Crown.
It’s official. All 31 charges dismissed.
davie says:
Whoa…complete discharge.
I guess if nobody bribed you, then you weren’t bribed.
Springtime in our justice system has been pretty good for celebrities.
Guess two questions come to mind:
1) Who’s Duffy going to sue, and
2) Does this full acquittal of Duffy destroy the cases against Brazeau, Wallin, Harb and any other Senators that had their expenses referred to the RCMP?
Warren says:
That NDP commercial from mid-campaign is a doozy. He’ll likely start there. It’s still all over the Internet.
JH says:
Liberals, NDP and Lame Stream Media are just about what we expected them to be as well as Harper’s PMO. None of them are shining examples of what we expect of our so called leaders and media.
EB says:
Here is my take on the whole affair:
Smart judge who saw through the whole charade.
Mike Duffy innocent dupe acting on the advice and suggestions of Harper and the PMO.
The ‘scandal’ here is the duplicitous conniving of the PMO. Duffy was the golden goose for the Conservative Party. When the Media started paying attention to what was clearly a dubious arrangement, the Conservatives attempted to scapegoat Duffy.
I almost, but not quite, feel sorry for Mr. Duffy. He was hung out to dry by Mr. Harper.
Maps Onburt says:
Well sorry my friend but your take is complete nonsense. While Duffy was innocent of all charges, it is EXTREMELY clear that morally his nose was very deep into the trough. The PMO while admittedly trying to save the governments reputation threw Duffy under the bus, also tried to get him to pay back the expenses. Anybody who knew Nigel knew he was acting out of a sense of moral outrage at Duffy’s behaviour. The RCMP didn’t need a judge to tell them that he didn’t do anything intentionally wrong. The media, the opposition and the average Joe all were going after Duffy with full moral outrage. It’s a bit much to now say that the government should have just said “Hey Duf…. You didn’t do anything WRONG”. I KNOW if I did anything that Duffy did on my expense reports I’d be fired for cause and I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on because our expense rules are written down. Until this happened, there were essentially no expense rules for senators and hence he couldn’t be convicted of violating them. He still was morally corrupt and if you’d take off your partisan blinkers, you’d see it. Charging for a primary residence when you only visit it occasionally in the summer and it isn’t winterized is wrong. Getting to get 90K from your employer to “travel” from your permanent residence in Ottawa to Ottawa is wrong. It should have been illegal.. It wasn’t so no conviction but the government was as outraged by the porcine behaviour as the rest of us. If anything, people were hanging them out to dry for not doing enough.
ottlib says:
So, an exercise in political damage control that morphed into a political vendetta comes to its final and ignominious end.
As much as there is carping about the Duffy verdict, and the Ghomeshi verdict before that, personally I’m glad to see that our justice system still requires that pesky thing called proof. The alternative is pretty scary.
Bluegreenblogger says:
I dunno about anybody else, but I am certainly not surprised by the verdict. Really, nobody should be. It was the correct finding. Maybe our leaders will hesitate next time. Franco famously said, ‘For our friends, anything. For enemies, ‘The Law’. The Harper took this sage advice to heart repeatedly. Duffy was just the most glaringly obvious abuse of our Justice system.
I think the word “scandal” is often used as a derivative for “drama”.
The Duffy scandal was very much a scandal because of dramatic twists and turns of deception, shady communications and duplicitous behaviour of those involved. Its massively entertaining when a Senator rises in the Red Chamber to explicitly accuse the leadership of government of concocting a PR strategy to mitigate the damage of a controversy that would implicate the brass of the PMO.
It was a scandal; not a kids dying in Syria or terrorists on Parliament Hill scandal, but a dramatic political scandal.
Had Stephen Harper still been in office today or had this verdict come a year ago, then this would have been a full blown Canadian Watergate.
Fife’s defence of the media hatchet job on Duffy on QP was a joke. Any reading of the 3 year record will show different. No matter though, where the real decision is being made is on main street. There besides the Harper PMO gang, the folks are excoriating the RCMP and the press in general for their unprofessionalism over the past 3 years of the case. No wonder the RCMP is under fire all the time and the media industry has become a sinking ship. Self inflicted injuries I’d say. Duffy and to a lesser extent Wallin are on the way to becoming Canadian heroes. Not because they were so pure, but because their attackers sank so low. Watch!

Ironie u Pascala
Irony in Pascal’s Work
The paper deals with the role of irony in the thought of Blaise Pascal. The author proposes to distinguish two types of irony in Pascal’s work. The first type – offensive irony – can be found in The Provincial Letters, Pascal’s polemics with the principles of Jesuit moral teachings. The use of ironic strategy allows Pascal to criticize efficiently the Jesuit argumentation and the problematic consequences of their moral values. In Pascal’s Pensées, the function of irony changes radically. Pascal’s description of the position of human beings can be compared to the irony of situation, represented usually by The Oedipus King by Sophocles. Irony thus becomes a perspective which depicts the paradoxes of human existence and intensifies the emotional impact of Pascal’s work.
Hegels Ausspruch „Gott ist tot“ in Hinsicht auf Kant und Fichte
Hegel’s Statement “God is dead” with Respect to Kant’s and Fichte’s Philosophies
The proclamation of God’s death is commonly ascribed to Fridrich Nietzsche and the cultural nihilism of the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. The work on Hegel’s statement of God’s death shows that this is a much older cultural topos, appearing frequently in German (as well as British and French) literature, poetry and philosophy as early as in 18th century and especially in the era of Romanticism. The differences are not only temporal, but especially contextual; while late usage with Nietzschian cultural relativists generally has a diagnostic character, earlier occurrences of the statement relate to different cultural phenomena (old and modern mythology, modern poetry, revolutionary political and religious changes after the French Revolution of 1789, character of transcendental philosophy, and others). Hegel used this statement in his very early polemic with Kant’s and Fichte’s philosophies. He criticized both of them that in their philosophical subjectivism they were promoting the notion that God had died and man had assumed his position. This work shows some relatively little known dimensions of that polemic including the role played by F. H. Jacobi’s critical anti-Kantian position.

K interpretaci Hegelovy filosofie státu
A Contribution to the Interpretation of Hegel’s Philosophy of State
This paper contains preliminary notes on an interpretation of Hegel’s political philosophy. It concentrates on the last part of The Philosophy of Right, i. e. sphere of the ethical life. A thesis defended in the paper is that it is Hegel’s notion of bureaucracy which is crucial for the interpretation. Concepts are employed of civil society and public sphere by J. Habermas, as well as of habitus by P. Bourdieu in order to highlight fragmented character of the civil society. Therefore, the bureaucracy is given major role in realization of “the concrete universal” by means of both public administration and parliamentary politics. The centrality of bureaucracy in political integration is therefore called administrative nationalism.
Pojetí role vědy v politice u Emila Durkheima
Emile Durkheim’s Conception of the Role of Science in Politics
Durkheim’s political interest stems from an analysis of anomies of the late 19th century society. He credits the anomies to the changes in the organization of labor division in the society as well as to the fact that man is a being with ever increasing demands. In this respect he appeals to all social classes to abide by the rule of moderateness. – Durkheim poses the question if sociologists can contribute to social reform. In his view the most important contribution is their scientific work, i.e. an analysis and a description of social reality. Such activity does not qualify them as politicians. In politics, a scientist can only act as a citizen or possibly an adviser and an educator.

This year it is 130 years since the birth and 80 years since the death of Karel Vorovka (3/2/1879 – 15/1/1929) as well as 80 years since the publication of his American Philosophy. The author shows the way that led Vorovka to this work: his strong orientation to western thinking, his attendance at the 6th international philosophical congress taking place at Harvard University in Cambridge near Boston (13–17/9/1926) and his personal and professional relationships with Anglo-American philosophers. It presents Vorovka’s “trip reports” from American meetings and the results of his studies: reviews of some Harvard philosophers’ works (R. B. Perry, W. A. Hocking, C. I. Lewis) and journal articles on American neo-realism, personalism and behaviorism, which were eventually included in his American Philosophy.
Jan Patočka a Kosíkova Dialektika konkrétního
Jan Patočka and Kosík’s Dialectics of the Concrete
Kosík’s work Dialectics of the Concrete (1963) attracted great attention both in Czechoslovakia and abroad. Jan Patočka was among those who responded to the book in 1960s. One of the reasons for his interest was the fact that Kosík used elements of Heidegger’s philosophy to overcome dogmatic Marxism. Patočka pointed out that Kosík had not adopted the ontological intention of Heidegger’s analyses of everydayness, which creates a certain tension in his work. Kosík’s dialectics of the concrete, which stems from an analysis of everyday practice, never became, in Patočka’s opinion, a dialectic of real life.

Reflexie umenia v tvorbe Svätopluka Štúra a Etely Farkašovej
Reflections of Art in the Work of S. Štúr and E. Farkašová
The author of the article contemplates about the selected works of the Slovak philosophers. She focuses on the reflection of their prevailing interest in the domain of art, precisely in the domain of literature. She points out the interconnection of philosophy and art, philosophy and literature; and also discusses the role of a creator and that of a recipient of philosophical and literary texts. The author remarks on the prospective character of uncovering new dimensions for a dialogue between an author and a reader.

Realistické vysvětlení úspěchu vědy aneb no miracle argument
Realistic Explanation of Scientific Success or No Miracle Argument
The article deals with some problems that concern the reliability of scientific knowledge and the rationality of scientific theories’ acceptance. The central attention is paid to the discussion between realists and instrumentalists and the controversies over literally interpretation of theories and their ontological commitments. The author examines one famous argument for realism (no miracle argument). She engages in the problems to which the argument is exposed (the circularity and the pesimmistic induction) and considers the possibilities to avoid them. The author concludes by claiming that even though no offered strategy is able to withstand effectively the pessimism that arises fromthe history of science, there is no reason to reject the realistic thesis.

The state of football
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don’t like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that."
– Bill Shankly
A body lies broken and scarred, beaten down by an enemy it could not defeat. Deep inside though, a heart still pulses–a heart that is filled with determination and a lust for something that the common man has no knowledge about. To hold your head high, to look your opponent in his eye and laugh. To know that when you are on the edge of failure, you can come roaring back like an uncaged animal, making believers out of those who turned their backs and walked away in shame.
For Dinos football, now is that time. With a paltry record of one win three losses, the beast in each one of those players must be unleashed. The month of October will be a field of blood for the boys. There, they will establish themselves as a team with a heart capable of seeing them through the depths of hell or… they will fade away like another withered corpse that couldn’t meet the onslaught.
In the beginning, when the sun shone brightly and the future even brighter, an individual took his place on the battlefield and led his army to a glorious victory. The win, over the arch-rival Golden Bears from the University of Alberta, was truly great. The air attack was seamless, the running unstoppable and the defence truly masters of their domain. Dinos 36, Golden Bears 21.
Unfortunately, even the best of us meet our match, and two weeks later the Dinos met theirs in the wastelands of Manitoba. A Canada West record was set by a 127 yard return by Bison Mike Plante and a knife was driven deep into the heart of the Dino football team. Manitoba 32, Dinos 11.
Humbled, but still full of hope, our soldiers returned home. The next war would be one which would show the power of heart, the hunger of soul and the ability to overcome any obstacle. As the U of C army faced the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, the heart was full of fire, the soul was an unfed lion but the mighty Dino could not conquer the final obstruction. Huskies 28, Dinos 23.
Badly broken, the football team nursed their wounds and prepared for the next invasion. This time, the attack came from the west in the form of a Thunderbird. The Dino was torn to shreds as the powerful Bird swept down and ran amok through Calgary. Bodies with the names of Ian Schafer and David Swagar fell and the points tally rose. University of British Colombia Thunderbirds 43, Dinos 9.
When you’re a vet, the wounds are a little deeper; the scars take a little more time to heal. You remember a time when the power of the game wasn’t quite as powerful and all you could do was stand back in awe. Now though, that power seeps through your body and each loss is like a little death.
For fourth-year cornerback Alex Barton the season so far has been "horrible. There’s nothing to describe it. It’s the worst we’ve ever played. I don’t know how to explain it."
When you play this game, an uninjured body can become reminiscent of a car wreck victim. The healthiest of players brought to their knees in a fractured moment of time. For fifth-year Dino, Ken Watt, "It’s hard seeing our depth at each position go down with injuries throughout the entire year. It’s pretty tough to see and because of that we’re 1-3."
A few battles may have been lost but the war is not over for the Dinos. Is morale low? In the words of Barton, "definitely low. We’ve got a lot of things to accomplish this weekend. We play the Rams (University of Regina) and we don’t want to be the first ones to lose to them. We have to win. Whether or not everyone’s ready for it, it’s up to them."
The animal must run. The soldier must kill. For the Dinos to survive, they must win. In the final year of the millennium, history will not be kind to those who fail. This knowledge seems to smoulder in the Dinos and the chance to alter a history yet to be written can be all-consuming. For Alex Barton, Ken Watt and the rest of the Dinos football team, October will be that month. Time has run out; the cage has been opened and the knives unsheathed. As Watt says, "We’ve got to play the best that we can play and rely on one another. We can take it to the next level and get it done."

Middlesbrough monitor Dutch midfielder as they turn to Serie A for transfer ideas
By Tom Coast -
Promoted directly to the Premier League by finishing second in the Championship, Middlesbrough are keeping an eye on the transfer as they seek to bolster their squad for the tough season ahead.
Already surprising many by snapping up young Viktor Fischer from Ajax, Boro have now apparently turned their attention to Serie A if Gazzetta dello Sport are to be believed.
The Premier League club, who open their campaign against Stoke at the Riverside on the 13th of August, are keeping an eye on Atalanta’s Marten de Roon.
The 25-year-old defensive midfielder only signed from SC Heerenveen last summer, but impressed greatly over 37 appearances, picking up a goal and two assists, which has led to Aitor Karanka adding him to his watch list.
Purchased for around £1m, you would expect Atalanta to want to make a profit from his sale if Middlesbrough start pushing for a deal, but this transfer certainly wouldn’t be breaking any fee records if it happened.

KTBS Interviews Robert Storment with SRP Environmental about asbestos contamination from building demolition
November 2, 2015 Press ReleasesSRP Environmental
MANSFIELD, La. (KTBS) – A small town in northwest Louisiana, fear they have been failed by a system they trusted when a historic building was torn down, coating downtown Mansfield in dust.
“I didn’t question anybody or the workers just because I just kind of trusted in the system,” Lauri Williamson said. “That it had been tested.”
The big question remains, did that dust carry asbestos and what impact does that have on the community.
Built in 1911 as the First Baptist Church, the massive building on the corner of Jefferson and Polk, served its purpose until 1980.
The church sat vacant for years, even after being purchased by the Calhoun Family in 1982.
Then in 1994, the property was renovated.
“It was apartments,” Reimer Calhoun said. “Thirtyish apartments.”
In 2011 the state fire marshal’s office deemed the structure unsafe and the doors closed for good.
This past summer, the church would undergo one last change, a demolition, with one of three buildings already taken down.
“Well removal and demolition was the only thing we could figure out to do,” Calhoun said.
But the heat and dust made an unbearable mess for neighbors.
“We would have dust that would blow over to my porch and the bushes and stuff,” Williamson, a local business owner said.
“It was mainly the dust that was bothering us,” another shop owner, Elsa Mims, said. “There was just so much dust out there and we were changing filters three times a week.”
Finally, Mims said she could not take it anymore.
“So then we started thinking that something needs to be done about this and so we called DEQ,” Mims said.
Greg Langley with the Department of Environmental Quality told KTBS in an email DEQ responded to citizen complaints in September.
Langley said DEQ issued a notice of deficiency, or request for additional information on the project.
DEQ then tested the property for asbestos and on October 8th, the results of the test came back positive.
Dr. Samer Nachawati is a Pulmonologist at Willis-Knighton.
“Asbestos, basically is a natural, mineral fiber,” Dr. Nachawati said. “It is known for its strength, fire and chemical properties. The badness happens whenever those asbestos bodies mix in with calcium and iron and form what is called the ferruginous body.”
Dr. Nachawati said those bodies are never fully absorbed, instead they build up scar tissue on the lungs, causing fluid to accumulate.
“It can also lead to certain types of cancer,” Dr. Nachawati said. “Mesothelioma is the most associated cancer with asbestos.”
When asked why an inspection was not done before construction started, Calhoun said: “That I do not know.”
Robert Storment is part owner of SRP, an environmental health and safety consulting agency in Shreveport. He said when you are working in an older building you can almost guarantee an encounter with asbestos.
“There is a good chance of it,” Storment said. “Especially buildings that were built pre-1970.”
In fact, he said a law was made to cover this kind of risk.
“There is a federal law called NESHAP that is enforced by the environmental protection agency that requires buildings to have an asbestos survey before they do any demolition or re-modeling,” Storment said.
Contractor for the project, Scott Shelton, declined an interview with KTBS but told us over the phone, asbestos was only found in three places, only two spots have to be abated.
That statement contradicts reports from Langley at DEW who said his department found asbestos in eight places.
Shelton said “we’ve done our side and done it correctly.”
He added that DEQ gave them the go ahead to continue working on the project, but he said he voluntarily shut down work until they could have all asbestos removed from the property.
But DEQ said the salvage work cannot continue until the contractor provides information and a time line on the abatement plan.
“I would be curious as to why anybody is concerned about it,” Calhoun said. “I think Scott Shelton has done an excellent job.”
Dr. Nachawati said the chance of any local business owner getting sick from the traveling dust is slim. He said the greatest risk is for the workers in direct contact, but the effects of asbestos inhalation are not immediate.
“You can see the effects of asbestos 10 years, 20 years, 30 years up to 40 years actually down the line,” Dr. Nachawati said.
For now, both Mims and Williamson agree they would be happy if the project would be completed correctly.

Balkan Roads is the croatian winner for the tourism category
Category: Tourism
Project Aim: The beauty of the Balkan Roads is that you’re tailoring your own route by choosing checkpoints you prefer and as to that – you’re determining your route adrenaline intensity. By doing Balkan Roads you’re getting a full insight in natural, historical and cultural beauties but even more in the life of the Balkan people. The mentality of our people define this area in the way it is described in the first sentence – exotic. We’ll make sure you’ll get the best from it because who can show you the Balkans better than the Balkan people? Me and my girlfriend/colleague Ana have been traveling all our lives. Ana drove the whole USA from east coast to west coast and back by a car and in 2016 I’ve been to Mongolia and back in a tiny car Yugo, Koral 55. I realized then that the Balkans have so much to offer. Since I’ve been organizing trips and travel arrangements for the past 8 years and I found myself in the tourism sector, although unconsciously at first, I knew that our country Croatia is a very popular tourist destination but still misses concrete types of tourist adventures. That’s when Balkan Roads was conceived. When we look at Balkan Roads, we don’t even look at it as a tourist product although that’s what it is by its form. We do it primarily because we want to show the Balkans to the people as it truly is and why we love it. We hope that everybody will discover a part of themselves on Balkan roads…
What does Balkan Roads do?
Balkan is a place of eternal love and conflict, beauty and ugliness, glamour and poverty. With that being said Balkan Roads is a circular road trip on old dusty roads of Balkan peninsula using equally old vehicles preferably of Balkan production (Read: Yugo, Zastava, TAM, TAS, Tomos etc.) while the guests will use more or less intense adrenaline checkpoints along with it. From highly adrenaline ones we single out few, such as Bungee jumping, Scuba diving, paragliding etc. and from less adrenaline ones there is sheep gathering and guarding, cooking traditional Balkan meals, horse riding and many more. By taking checkpoints participants will win points and compete for a prize. Checkpoints are minimally 30% more affordable when taken via Balkan Roads then by an individual arrangement and there are also some nights included in a price, BBQ-es, parties, gift packages, tracking system, public engagement etc. All carefully composed to provide an incredible experience for anyone who dares to brake their boundaries and test their skills through an active type of vacation. There are many banger rallies out there but there’s only one that gives you the most of experience such as Balkan Roads. But these aforementioned checkpoints are not just a service or a product. We call it a location of a necessary interaction with other people. And If you get yourself in any need for help and you probably will since you’re driving Yugo’s and Zastava’s through the Balkans, in the locals you will find a person of vital importance on which you have to rely on as long as on your own communicating skills if you’re lack of car repairing ones.
What is Balkan Roads’ future?
According to that we can conclude that this recognition means a lot to us because we are grateful for the opportunity to present our adventure and to share it with the rest of the Europe. Europe is a big market not just in an economic sense but also in a cultural meaning. We strive to intercept prejudices related to this area and help to create a better image of the Balkans not just in Europe but in the world as well. Why? Because there’s more to live in the Balkans.

The Atlas of a 1000 Ancient Genomes Project is a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort of researchers from the Swedish Universities of Stockholm and Uppsala with contributions from institutions and partners worldwide. It aims at unravelling human prehistory by combining state-of-the-art molecular and population genomics approaches with bioarcheology; understanding the mechanisms leading to demographic and evolutionary changes and lastly creating a detailed catalogue of ancient human genetic variation. The 1000 Ancient Genomes Project builds upon the ATLAS of ancient human genomes in Sweden project and enlarges its geographical scope beyond the borders of Scandinavia into the whole of Eurasia. The Atlas of a 1000 Ancient Genomes Project will set new standards in ancient DNA research and open new horizons and for a comprehensive understanding of human evolution, demography, diseases and adaptation.

We published new findings on the demographic history of ancient Scandinavians from the island Gotland. The publication can be found here.
Our recent findings on the evolution of Scandinavians are nicely summarized in a video by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. It is published in English and in Swedish.
We met for an end-of-the-year ATLAS gathering in Nynäshamn. A short meeting summary can be found here.
We published new data over summer. Please find our latest papers here.
We have a new publication in Scientific Reports. We analyzed 41 complete mitochondrial genomes of ancient humans from North Asia and showed a pattern of long-term genetic continuity in the region. We further detected signatures of gene flow or population structure, altogether highlighting the complexity of human demographic history.
The group had its annual retreat. This time we went to Gimo Hergård and some impressions from the meeting can be found here.
Members of the ATLAS team were involved in a multidisciplinary study highlighting the temporal genetic changes caused by prehistoric migrations into Iberia. The analyses of ancient human remains shed light into the origin of farming life-style in the far west of Eurasia and showed surprising homogeneity in diet over time. The study is published ahead of print in PNAS.
There is an open vacancy as Head of the SciLifeLab's National ancient DNA center. Please see the following job advert for more information.
We just published new insights into Mesolithic Scandinavians in PLoS Biology. We confirmed two migration routes building the foundation of the diverse Mesolithic human population in Scandinavia and also identified loci that have been selected for in the process of adaptation to the Northern environment.
A 3 episode TV show was broadcasted in Swedish television over Christmas, focusing on the life in the Iron ages in Scandinavia. Some of us have been directly involved and others contributed to the success of the show with their research. The show can be found here (in Swedish) and Anders commented on the show in his blog.
Magdalena and others from the team published a new study in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. The multidisciplinary study sheds new light in the genetic composition, the diet and culture of the Fennel beaker culture on Gotland.
Happy new year to all of our team members, families, friends and collaborators.
We published a new study in Current Biology investigating the origin of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands (Guanche). By leveraging genomes of 11 ancient Guanche individuals we showed a close relationship of them to extant Northwest Africans and leaving up to 30% of genomic ancestry in today’s Canary islanders.
The team has uncovered a fearsome Viking warrior to be in fact a woman, who held a high rank among Viking warriors. The original investigation appeared in American Journal of Physical Anthropology and a Science news cover can be found here. Uppsala University released a press report. The story was also picked up by international news agencies. The sequencing data (.bam) used in our study is available at the European Nucleotide Archive with the accession number: PRJEB22507
Torsten and Mattias reviewed the effect of demographic events on the genomes of ancient Europeans. The paper is upcoming in Current Opinions in Genetics and Development
Congratulations! On 5th of October the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation announced this year's awardees.

In the first of two articles, Digby Anderson looks at Christian friendship as a safeguard against loneliness
Practising Christians are an increasingly small minority of the population in England; fully practising Catholics a minority of that minority and Anglican Catholics an even tinier minority. Anglican-Catholicism is a lonely business. 'Lonely' means not only being alone but being aware of it. We are not just socially but intellectually and morally lonely. We know that few people believe and practice what we do.
Dangers of isolation
Intellectual loneliness is dangerous. Some people respond to it by giving up their beliefs, unable to persist with something which is so unusual. After all, what is so unusual is abnormal, eccentric, bizarre. Another reaction, the opposite, is to throw up the barricades and have nothing to do with non-believers. It is ironic that minority believers who desperately need more members often pursue a purity of belief that further isolates them. Look at the fissiparous tendencies of Trotskyists or some continuing churches.
More often lonely believers seek a rapprochement with the majority by translating their beliefs into the language of the majority. Thus Christians say they still believe in sin but call it maladjustment. Too late they discover that in translating their ideas they have lost them.
Social scientists would diagnose us as suffering from cognitive dissonance and being in a cognitive minority. But there's a reason to stick with the less pretentious loneliness! 'Cognitive minority' suggests the answer lies in altering the relative numbers of the minority and majority, whereas there is a much simpler answer to loneliness: friendship. If you want to persist in Anglican-Catholicism without going fanatical or barmy, cultivate a friendship with one or two similarly believing people.
Listen to Edmund Burke in his Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol: 'The only method that has ever been found effectual to preserve any man against the corruption of nature and example, is an habit of life and communication of councils with the most virtuous and public-spirited men.' It is dangerous to attempt to live the moral and religious life alone. Such a person, Burke says, 'must be either an angel or a devil.' 'Good men [must] cultivate friendships.'
Sharing moral purpose
To be sure the friendship we are called to is not what many modern persons mean by that word. It is not based on Australian lager, shared gossip or flattery. It is classical, high friendship, two persons sharing moral purpose, pursuing the good together. Far from flattery, the friend is one of the few persons who will tell you the truth about yourself.
Friendship is based on honesty, sincerity, loyalty and permanence of character. Jonathan loved David as he loved his own soul! Coleridge wrote of his friendship with Southey, 'our pursuits were similar, our final aspirations similar ...he was a far better man.' Newman called friendship a special test of our virtue!
There is so much in our tradition on the importance of friendship. Was not St John Our Lord's 'bosom friend'? Were not Judas' betrayal and Peter's denial the more shocking because they were the betrayals of friendship? Aristotle thought friendship the best thing in the world.
Euripides thought 'one loyal friend is worth 10,000 relatives.' Augustine was devastated by the death of a friend, All that we had done together was now a grim ordeal without him.'
Most eloquent was St Gregory Nazianzan about his friend St Basil: 'We were all in all to each other, sharing the same roof, the same table, the same sentiments, our eyes fixed on one goal...we seemed to have a single soul animating two bodies.'
Writings of the saints
There's St Theresa of Avila, St Aelred of Rievaulx and St Ambrose too. St Jerome praised friendship through letter writing. C.S. Lewis wrote of friendship that friends think they have chosen each other - not so: A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ who once said to his disciples, 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you^ can truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.' At this feast let us not reckon without our Host.'
The point of so many quotations is not rhetorical. It is that friendship was once considered a great thing by great civilizations and by great saints in the Church. It is now all but forgotten. The Church says little about it and nothing of much worth. Indeed the last Christian writer to take it seriously was C.S. Lewis.
Christians, I'm sure, have friends still, and some of these friends are Christian. A few, perhaps, of the friendships are Christian friendships. But we need to recover the ideal of Christian friendship and have public acknowledgement of its importance in the church. It is an arena for the practice of central Christian virtues, an essential building block of any Christian community and the chief safeguard against apostasy, fanaticism and madness in this otherwise lonely Catholic life.

“We understand how, at times, problems can appear overwhelming and solutions hard to find. Talking about your difficulties is the first step to improving the quality of your life.”

Counselling in Belfast & NI
What is Counselling
Self-harm is a broad term. People may injure or poison themselves by scratching, cutting or burning their skin, by hitting themselves against objects, taking a drug overdose or developing an eating problem (such as anorexia or bulimia). These responses may help someone to cope with feelings that threaten to overwhelm them; painful emotions, such as rage, sadness, emptiness, grief, self-hatred, fear, loneliness and guilt.
It’s a means of communicating what can’t be put into words and has been described as an inner scream. Afterwards, people feel better able to cope with life again, for a while.
A person who self – harms is likely to have gone through very difficult, painful experiences as a child or young adult. At the time, they probably had no one they could confide in, so didn’t receive the support and the emotional outlet they needed to deal with it.
Someone who self –harms may doubt whether they can deal with these painful experiences in any other way. Counselling will help you move forward, to grieve over past events or a lost childhood and work through fears and confusion surrounding them. With support you can learn to cope with the pain, anger, and rage, and learn to manage these feelings in a different way.

In nome della legge
Letter from W.R. Jackett, to Ruggero Bacci, July 5, 1940 - solo in inglese
Letter from W.R. Jackett, to Ruggero Bacci, July 5, 1940, explaining the three charges resulting in Bacci's detention.
The letter was written in response to Bacci's objection to his internment. Under the DOCR (Defence of Canada Regulations), after 30 days, internees could formally object to their detention to an advisory committee appointed by the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice then appointed a judge to review the internee’s case. This meant an examination of the RCMP’s evidence against the internee, meetings with the internee, and interviews with witnesses who could attest to the internee’s character. After this, the judge either recommended an internee’s release or continued internment to the Minister of Justice.
The charges centre around Bacci's membership and work with the Fascio Principe Umberto in Toronto. However, such groups were not illegal in Canada until June 1940; Bacci was interned on June 10.

(Typewritten, black ink, body text):

If you could pinpoint when society's biggest problems (drugs, gangs, poor scholastic performance, the teen pregnancy epidemic) really took hold, my guess would be that it coincided with two things: the end of the military draft and the end of the Stay-At-Home-Mom Era. I'm confident most sociologists/anthropologists would connect those dots fairly easily.
(Does anyone really think that you can take two weighty societal elements like those off the table without any significant consequences?)
Do we sneeze in our sleep? Sneezing cannot occur during sleep due to REM (rapid eye movement) atonia--a bodily state wherein motor neurons are not stimulated and reflectory signals are not relayed to the brain.
Sufficient external stimulants, however, may cause a person to wake from their sleep for the purpose of sneezing, although any sneezing that would occur afterwards would take place with at least a partially awake state of mind. (Kind of hard to work into a conversation, but there you have it--courtesy of Yahoo Answers.)
Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?
If you think that Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Henry Mancini, Lennon-McCartney or Simon and Garfunkel are the most-heard composers of all time, consider this: It's Mike Post.
That's because he wrote the themes to "Law and Order," "Hill Street Blues," "NYPD Blue," "The Rockford Files," "L.A. Law," "The White Shadow," "The Phil Donahue Show," "Wiseguy," "Hunter" and others. Every time one of those shows airs, he hits 10 million or more listeners at once; it's very hard for any songwriter to equal that with radio/jukebox exposure.
(If Post had a rival, it could be Eliot Daniel. He wrote the theme for "I Love Lucy." Think how many times THAT nauseating ditty has been heard around the world!)
He said it: "There are Republicans here who are gay, but as long as they don’t acknowledge it, it’s OK. Republicans only tolerate you being gay as long as you don’t seem proud of it. You’ve got to be apologetic."--U.S. Rep. Barney Frank.

About those Seven Deadly Sins: I think there should be an Eighth--Ingratitude. (All-time favorite proverb: "No good deed goes unpunished.")
