CAPSULE: W THE MOVIE (2008)
March 19, 2009 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies) Leave a comment
DIRECTED BY: Alfred Eaker & Ross St. Just
FEATURING: Alfred Eaker, PinkFreud
PLOT: “W” appears in a meteorite in the Arizona desert, steals the election for
the party of No, and becomes a tyrant opposed by liberal reporter BlueMahler.
WHY IT WON’T MAKE THE LIST: With half the characters distinguished by facepaint that makes them look like either World Wrestling Federation rejects or members of a failed 70s revival glam band, acting in front of shifting psychedelic computer-generated backdrops, this surrealist satire of George W. Bush’s presidency is definitely weird enough to make the list. The problem is that, as a polemic against the 43rd President of the United States, it comes with an expiration date. It’s too particular and too parochial, both in terms of subject matter and target audience, to earn a final place on a list of 366 representative weird movies.
COMMENTS: Because it is a vehemently partisan mockery of a former President, as opposed to a generic political satire, W the Movie is difficult to review. Your reaction may depend on your politics; the far left might applaud it as a hilarious send-up of a dangerous political hack, those on the right may be outraged (and personally insulted), or simply dismiss it as liberal piffle. Moderates and fence-sitters are unlikely to be swayed. All sides will recognize it as deliberately unfair; Bush’s foibles are exaggerated past the point of absurdity. W is cruel, crude and stupid, and at his most decisive when he demands his pancakes with “lots of syrup”; his foil, BlueMahler, is brave and righteous, and his only character flaw is neglecting his wife and son as he devotes his life to exposing the truth about the alien demagogue and his infernal war. W the Movie makes the work of Michael Moore (who himself makes as appearance as a ghostlike, babbling puppet) look fair and balanced. There’s a place in the film world for narrowly political art and clever character assassination, and in this sense the producers are to be commended for not fearing to enter the fray, take sides, and name names.
But, polarizing political content aside, there’s quite a bit to be admired in the low-budget production. It’s an excellent example of how a unique, almost mesmerizing visual style can be forged through CGI on the cheap, when artistic effect and atmosphere is placed above the fetish for strict realism. About 90% of the film was shot in front of a green-screen, and memorable virtual sets include W riding on a missile against a cloudscape (a la Dr. Strangelove), W worshipping at an altar of giant gold coins, and an amusing black and white parody sequence with W in Ford’s Theater. The effect is a bit like the old studio-bound pictures of the 30s and 40s, where the backgrounds were matte paintings, but modern technology combined with a hallucinogenic vision makes these brightly colored living mattes slip, morph and shift before the viewer’s eye. Therefore, the film is constantly interesting to the eye, even when the plot gets difficult to follow. Furthermore, Eaker does quite well in multiple roles, including both W and his nemesis BlueMahler. Actors cast in smaller roles range from adequate to distracting. The humor is also uneven, ranging from the highly effective (the Ford’s Theater scene) to the painfully embarrassing (the 9/11 tragedy is used as an excuse for cheap jokes about W’s pro-life stance and lack of geographical acumen). More genuine funny and fewer pointed potshots would have made it a happier movie experience. All in all, W‘s well worth checking out, but if you’re to the right of Obama politically, you may want to check your party of No pin at the door.
“…this is one seriously messed up flick and… I mean that in the best possible way… wild and wonderful, weird and whacked out.”–Richard Propes, The Independent Critic
4/23/09 UPDATE: W the Movie won the “Best Experimental Feature” award at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.
7/22/10 UPDATE: For a limited time, we are screening “W” for free on YouTube. Enjoy!

Son shades: C P E Bach at the Chamber Music Proms
Yes, the Proms are up and running again. A few more evenings this summer (though not quite as many as last year, when I heard the entire Ring cycle in a week, standing up...), I'll be back at the Royal Albert Hall, swept up and sweltering in the whole massed rush of the thing.
And as thrilling as those main concerts are, there is something of the treat, the delicacy, about the Chamber Music Proms, which take place every Monday lunchtime at Cadogan Hall throughout the entire season. For a start, just going to one in the first place means a day off work for many in the audience (including me), so there is that truant sense of occasion. More importantly, the acoustics are glorious, and there doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the place - so you're more or less guaranteed a relaxing yet immersive listen.
Even within those parameters, this particular Prom already feels to me like one of the great classical gigs I've been lucky enough to attend - exactly the right players performing exactly the right music in exactly the right location. (And I didn't even realise until we arrived that I'd managed to book second row seats! Modest applause, please.)
It's C P E Bach's 300th birthday year (obviously we're having to celebrate in his absence), and the anniversary has seen him creep stealthily into the spotlight that normally shines so brightly on his dad, J S. I've yet to explore his music fully but what I've heard appeals to me enormously. Clearly the paternal influence must have been monumental, unshakeable. But Emanuel's writing seems to reflect the recognisably Baroque flourishes he must have grown up with, merged with an almost rebellious "I'm going to do WHAT I LIKE" straining at the leash. Earlier this year, the harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani released a brilliant album of C P E Bach sonatas, and I overheard one concert-goer tell another how well they thought the playing on that record "tamed some of the madness" in the music.
Analysts poring over the wild moodswings in the music have begun to speculate that Emanuel, rather than living life in a permanent teenage strop in reaction to his intimidating pater, may actually have been bi-polar. This was just one of the intriguing snippets of information and insight from Rachel Podger, the violin virtuoso and Baroque specialist who had put together the programme and ensemble for the concert.
All the Proms are broadcast live on BBC Radio 3, and a feature of the chamber sessions is that the radio presenter is a bit more hands-on, introducing the performers and conducting mini-interviews with them during short breaks or change-overs. (This Monday it was Petroc Trelawny, to Mrs Specs's frankly unseemly delight.) Initially, this used to strike me as a bit cruel, like the musical equivalent of those dreadful on-court interrogations that take place ten seconds after the winning shot at Wimbledon - "what do you mean, you're out of breath - I need answers!" - but in Rachel P, we had a natural communicator and highly persuasive ambassador for the music.
She had put together the sequence of pieces carefully and cleverly. None of them had been performed at the Proms before (we're now on season 120), and to do them justice, RP had assembled a crack team including herself on violin, Katy Bircher on flute, Bojan Cicic literally playing second fiddle, Tomasz Pokrzywinski on cello and Kristian Bezuidenhout on fortepiano. I wanted to mention them all (and yes, I am painstakingly keying in the names from the programme beside me!) because they all brought something crucial to the enterprise. None of the four works used exactly the same combination of players, so everyone's contribution was vital.
The first two pieces highlighted the development between Emanuel's early and mid career stages. A Trio Sonata foregrounding violin and flute, begun in his early teens (and, suggested RP, benefiting from a few of Dad's hints and tips) sounded carefree and upbeat, an impression underpinned by the gossamer breath of the flute gliding above the other players. Fast forward thirty years to a violin sonata that gave RP the opportunity to show as much shade as light, and bring some of the lightning mood changes she was telling us about into focus.
Next, Kristian B took the stage solo for a technically demanding keyboard sonata, that really made me appreciate the skill involved in playing the fortepiano. I wasn't too familiar with this instrument - heard it a few times, never seen one played - and if I had to guess, it seemed to be the technological mid-point between the harpsichord-style keyboards and what we know as the 'normal' piano: a 'fuller' sound than its predecessors but not quite the lengthy, robust sustain of the modern instrument. As such, it's very well suited to the Baroque flurry of cascading notes that KB seemed to play with such ease, the signs of effort appearing only on his face from time to time, never his fingers.
Finally, all five musicians came together for another Trio Sonata, called 'Sanguineus and Melancholicus'. RP explained that the piece was written as a kind of 'duel' between two violins - one cheerful, one morose - the happier instrument trying to buck the other one up. The score is full of instructions for the two soloists on how to inject their parts with various emotions, and Emanuel's aim was to give these wordless sparring partners as much vitality and coherence of expression as you would expect from characters in opera.
The composer couldn't have asked for better 'actors' - to the point where it was impossible to imagine Rachel P and Bojan C swapping roles. As the last piece, the sonata clearly had an element of fun to it - with BC staring intently at his strings, resisting the irrepressible advances of RP, beaming, pretending to try and catch his eye, and even edging closer as if to give him a playful nudge. And Bach's achievement: to write such clearly distinct happy/sad melody lines and have them dovetail with each other so seamlessly that it all makes perfect musical as well as dramatic sense. An extraordinary finale.
While Rachel Podger is clearly a generous programmer and keen collaborator, there is something truly special about her ability to engage with us as well as her fellow musicians. I was reminded of a recent performance I saw of Messiaen's 'Quartet for the End of Time' which featured Steven Isserlis on cello - and he seemed particularly willing and able, of all four on stage, to involve the audience - to stare and smile them almost into participation. I felt that Rachel P and Steven I both possess that great gift of being so at one with - and at home within - the music that they have the spare performing capacity to make eye contact with the audience and let the music write itself across their facial expressions and body language as well as in the notes.
Performers like these make it as important and rewarding to see as well as hear classical music. 'Live' is good. Really 'alive' - even better.
(The concert is still on BBC iPlayer, and they're extending the 'listen again' period so that you have 30 days instead of 7 to catch each Prom after the event. So, until late August, find it here.)

He truly is the man, the myth, the legend -- the voice of baseball.Scully is well known for his forget it call on home runs. Its fair to say, forget it on topping this farewell.?

Michael Thomas Womens Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN broadcaster Tim Tebow is actively pursuing a career in professional baseball and plans to hold a workout for Major League Baseball teams later this month, according to his agents Jimmy Sexton and Nick Khan.For almost the past year, Tebow has been training in Arizona and Los Angeles to hone his hitting and fielding skills in a sport he has not played on a full-time basis since 2005.Tebow was an all-state baseball player in Florida that year and hit .494 as a junior, helping Nease High School reach the final four of the Florida state playoffs.Obviously we support Tim in his pursuit of a baseball career, as we have in all his ventures, said Sexton, Tebows football agent, who is now working with CAA baseball agent Brodie Van Wagenen.Tims athletic ability, his work ethic, his leadership and his competitiveness were evident in football and will show in baseball. Knowing Tims passion and desire, we wont be surprised by anything he accomplishes.Tebow -- who will turn 29 on Sunday -- has notified his current employer, ESPN, of his desire to chase a baseball career, but he will continue to fulfill his broadcast obligations to the network.Tebow had a tryout with the Los Angeles Dodgers before this season, sources tell ESPNs Darren Rovell. A scout was present for the workout, and the team showed interest in Tebow afterward, the sources said.Orioles center fielder?Adam Jones?reacted to the news on Twitter:Former MLB catcher Chad Moeller said in a statement through Tebows agent,?I am beyond impressed with Tims athleticism and swing, and it goes without saying that he has shown a high level of discipline and strong work ethic. I see bat speed and power and real baseball talent. I truly believe Tim has the skill set and potential to achieve his goal of playing in the Major Leagues, and based on what I have seen over the past two months, it could happen relatively quickly.But a major league scouting director told ESPNs Jayson Stark on Tuesday: Eleven years [of not playing baseball], noboody can overcome that.ddddddddddddChicago Bears coach John Fox told ESPNs Jeff Dickerson on Tuesday, [When I coached him] he was very competitive and very dedicated to life. Hes a guy I was very, very impressed with. He also took us [the Broncos] to the playoffs and won a playoff game for us. [I enjoyed] being around him because he works extremely hard at whatever he does.Eric Decker, who played with Tebow in Denver, guaranteed that a minor league team will sign him.Ill just say if you havent played baseball for 10 years or however many years its been, I dont know what the chances are, but if I was a double-a or single-a team, Im signing him to get the ticket sales up, Decker said. Im sure hell have success in that field. But as far as the skill aspect, I think hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things so itll be interesting to see his progress.All 30 MLB teams will be invited to Tebows workout at the end of the month, an event he has been preparing for over the past year. Those who have seen Tebow hit have been surprised he picked up the sport so quickly after not playing it since high school.This may sound like a publicity stunt, but nothing could be further from the truth, Wagenen said in a statement through Tebows agent. I have seen Tims workouts, and people inside and outside the industry -- scouts, executives, players and fans -- will be impressed by his talent.In reaction to the news, the Schaumburg Boomers, an Illinois-based minor league team in the independent Frontier League, announced Tuesday that they have offered a Tebow a contract.?Football coaches had been aware of Tebows baseball prowess. One of Urban Meyers first encounters with Tebow was on the baseball field, and college coaches knew of the quarterbacks interest and talents in baseball.Now, with Tebows football career stalled, he has decided to pursue another one of the sports he excelled at in high school.

Former Councilor Chosen as New Council Legislative Aide
by Seth Daniel • April 28, 2018 • 0 Comments
Former City Councilor Mike Mangan received eight votes and the blessing of the City Council to be the next legislative aide to the body, that coming after the retirement of the long-time aid recently.
The other two candidates, Joetta Lynn Yutkins and David Flood, each received one vote apiece.
Three candidates were forwarded to the Council for presentations on Monday night during the regular meeting. Yutkins, Mangan and Flood all gave five-minute presentations to the Council about their qualifications and desire to be the next legislative aide.
“I’m going to be the person that will go above and beyond,” said Mangan. “If anyone calls me on a Saturday to say they need a Council citation, I’m going to come up here and do it…The biggest thing is discretion. The person in this position has to be discreet, non-political and stay out of everyone’s business.”
Yutkins talked about her attention to detail, and how she started with the Boston Red Sox and worked her way up to more responsibility.
“I believe my qualifications and skills are right for this position,” she said. “I thrive when given a challenge.”
Flood spoke about being a resident for more than 50 years and having become very active in City business some years ago. A programmer by trade, he said when information from the City began coming online, he began to take a deep interest in the City’s laws, ordinances and regulations – making him a perfect candidate for the job.
“Because of my interest and my activities with the City, this is a dream job for me at this point in my life,” he said.
Councilors took a vote, and Mangan got eight votes. Mangan left the Council about 18 months ago to pursue other opportunities. A Council member must be one-year removed from service to take another City position.
Council President Peter Napolitano voted for Flood, and Councilor Wayne Matewsky voted for Yutkins.

The Top 10 Pitching Prospects
Young starting pitching is always at a premium in the real world, and often in the fantasy world. As such, serious leagues demand its owners possess knowledge of the top prospects near and far the stage of the majors. With that stated, here are the 10 arms considered the finest pitching prospects in the land by Bloomberg Sports’ Front Office Tool:
1. Mike Minor
2. Jeremy Hellickson
3. Kyle Drabek
4. Chris Archer
5. Manuel Banuelos
6. Zachary Britton
7. Christian Friedrich
8. Kyle Gibson
9. Casey Kelly
10. John Lamb
The top three already have big league experience. Minor started eight games for the Braves last season, completing 40 innings while striking out 43 and walking 11. The former Vanderbilt attendee figures to start the season in the rotation and while he’s unlikely to replicate his 2010 numbers, he’s better than most fifth starters. Hellickson impressed as well, with a similar strikeout and walk rate. Although he’s hampered with a hamstring injury now, if healthy, the Des Moines native will open the season as the Rays’ fifth starter. Drabek’s entrance to the majors did not fare as well, but he’s a top prospect for a reason and could open the season in the Jays’ rotation too.
Archer is one of the jewels the Rays received in return for Matt Garza, he should open the season in Triple-A, but a big league stint near season’s end -perhaps in the bullpen–is not out of the question. Banuelos received hype for a recent appearance, but he’s just now turning 20 and it’s unlikely he’ll get much more than a cup of coffee this season. Britton, on the other hand, should debut this season, as he spent last season in the high minors and pitched fairly well, with sub-3 ERAs at both Double- and Triple-A and peripherals to match.
As for the rest, Gibson shot through the system and stands the best chance of appearing in the bigs this season. That doesn’t mean you should ignore arms like Lamb and Kelly in keeper leagues, though, as again, they have the pedigree for a reason. Just don’t get too infatuated with these guys, as pitching prospects are more volatile than hitting prospects.

PM Modi: Century-Old Unemployment Problem Can’t be Resolved in 100 Days
The 100-year-old problem of unemployment cannot be solved in 100 days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday.
While launching a mega recruitment drive via video-conference, he said that the country is forging ahead on the path of self-reliance. “The Rozgar Mela is an important milestone in the government’s efforts for employment, self-employment in the last eight years,” he added.
Prime Minister Modi launched the employment fair on Saturday with 75,000 candidates receiving their appointment letters in the first phase of the recruitment scheme.
“Today our mission is Make in India. We have become a global hub in many sectors where earlier we were import dependent. When India breaks all export records, it is a testimony to the generation of employment, the PM said.
Through the PM Rozgar Mela 2022, recruitments will take place in around 38 ministries and departments under the Government of India. Ministries are expected to conduct these recruitments at a direct level or recruit eligible candidates through agencies such as Union Public Service Commission, Staff Selection Commission and Railway Recruitment Board.

IPL 2019: Cardboard cards like Dhahis Delhi Capitals, Last 7 wickets lost by 8 runs
April 2, 2019 by Last Sports
IPL 2019, KXIP vs DC Highlights: Kings XI Punjab played an important role in the last four overs and kept Delhi away from the victory. Sam Curran has become the third bowler to take hat-tricks on behalf of KXIP.
IPL 2019, KXIP vs DC: On Monday (April 1st) on the field of Mohali, Delhi Capitol’s team collapsed like a card game. DC’s innings was going on 17th over. The score was 144 runs at a loss of 3 wickets. The team needed only 23 runs on 21 balls to win. The Delhi team could easily win without taking any threat from here but whatever happened, no one had thought in the dream too. Some of the balls after this time have been there – W W 0 1 1 1 W 0 1w W 0 W W 0 4 W W. That is to say that Delhi Capitals lost 7 wickets to win 8 runs.
Kings XI Punjab, without the help of Chris Gayle, had scored a respectable score of 166 runs in 20 overs at the loss of 9 wickets. In reply, Delhi Capitol opener Prithvi Shaw was the first victim of KXIP captain Ravichandran Ashwin. Later, Ashwin bowled Shikhar Dhawan in front of the wicket. As long as Dhawan was able to bring down the bat, the ball had collided with his pad.
However, the goal was not far from the reach of Delhi. Captain Shreyas Iyer had a left hand handle. Delhi got at least one boundary in every over. In the 17th over, the situation had become so that the team could win easily without any hazard, but it did not happen. Rishab Pant became bold in the middle of Mohammed Shami’s over for a big shot.
Chris Morris had a strike on the next ball. As soon as the ball hit the bat, it was not seen that Ashwin was there in front. A spectacular throw forced Morris to return to the pavilion. Sam Karan came out to throw 18th over from Punjab Colin Ingram and Hanuma Vihari were present on the crease. Ingram has scored 38 runs from 28 balls so far. But on the fourth ball of 18th over, he got caught in the long-off direction and Karun Nair did not make any mistake.
Sam Carron hit Herschelle Patel in the last ball of the over, caught by wicketkeeper KL Rahul. The match was overturned and fans of Delhi could not believe what was happening on the field. Shami, who came in 19th over, bowled Vihari on the third ball.
Now, Delhi had only two wickets left. Sam Kerran finished the Delhi innings by scoring Sandeep on the first ball of the last over and bowling Kagiso Rabada on the other. With this he also completed his hat-trick. He became the third bowler to take hat-trick on behalf of KXIP.

Thousands expected in Hillsboro
Hillsboro Arts and Craft Fair will return Sept. 18 after taking a year’s break to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the 35,000 to 40,000 visitors who typically attend.
This will be the festival’s 52nd year. Hours will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
Dana Friesen, a craft fair regular who owns Graphic Tee in Newton, said she looked forward to setting up her booth again. For Friesen and her husband, the fair has a dual draw.
“My husband is from Hillsboro, so he grew up going to it all the time,” Friesen said.
His father and stepmother still live in Hillsboro, which gives the family a chance to sneak in a visit with family and have ready child care available.
“We do shows all over the country, and one of the best things about doing shows is that everyone is so kind, so patient, and no one is in a hurry,” she said.
Doing business at a festival is nothing like doing business in the Newton store she operates.
“You can have a dozen storefronts, and it’s not like a festival,” she said. “I remember at one time our line was down and around the block. I thought ‘oh my gosh, we’re never going to get through this line.’”
Instead of customers becoming irritated with the wait, everyone enjoyed the experience of the show and no one complained about how long it took to get to the booth and make a purchase, Friesen said.
Rural Brookville resident Tobina Norris, who does business as Tobina Sewbina, said this would be her eighth year at a fair she now considers her “big kickoff” for fall craft fairs.
She sells children’s items like finger puppets, character masks, books, and book pillows.
“I embroider designs like book things and fun things on the front of the book pillows,” she said.
The size of the crowd that attends the fair and how far customers come to attend the fair are a big part of why Norris sets up a booth here.
“It’s always a great show, and it’s amazing the number of vendors and the talent that is represented at that show,” Norris said.
She also likes the fact that past customers come looking for her.
After the Hillsboro show, she will have two or three more shows back to back.
Hillsboro Arts and Crafts Fair director Cait Hall said 108 vendors had signed up for this year’s show so far.
Longtime favorites include Anita Abbot with Abbot’s Attic in Sunrise Beach, Missouri, and Joyce Chorad with Dakota Crafts, who comes from South Dakota.
New this year will be Chase Ausherman of The Modern Etch, Wichita; Olivia Conway of Conway and Co., Wichita; Devin Dagnebin of Primal Jerky, Hutchinson; Mary Kroupa of Kechi Bath Co., selling lotions, bath bombs and the like; and Kolton Hoppe with Hoppe’s Woodwork, Minneapolis.
The festival is downtown, with vendors set up along four blocks of Main St. and two blocks of Grand Ave. No games are offered at the fair, but food booths will offer an array of goodies.
“There will be everything from loaded nachos to Hawaiian bierocks, funnel cakes, Dale’s sausages on sandwiches, and roasted nuts,” Hall said.
Firefighters will sell biscuits and gravy for breakfast and hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. Rhubarb Market will sell coffees and pastries, and Siebert Sweets will sell cotton candy and snow cones.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming people back to Hillsboro after last year’s cancellation, and looking forward to a successful year,” organizer Hall said.

[RADIO] How Peng Shuai exposed the WTA
How Peng Shuai exposed the WTA
Taylor Report Commentary
Image: Peng Shuai interviewed by a Singaporean journalist
Audio File:
http://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/download/111151/122387/133866/?url=http://www.radio4all.net/files/anonymous@radio4all.net/16-1-PengExposedWTA.mp3
Description (14 minutes):
There has been a new development in the U.S. campaign to try to undermine the Beijing Olympics.
Peng Shaui gave an interview to a Singapore newspaper, in which she sent a public message to the WTA:
1) She reaffirmed that she had never said she was sexually assaulted
2) She rejected WTA boss Simon’s recommendation for surveillance of her
3) She reaffirmed that her previous e-mail was written by her, of her own free will, and reflected her own views.
4) Contrary to the Guardian, she didn’t retract a claim of sexual assault. She reaffirms that she had never claimed she was sexually assaulted.
Contrast the treatment of Peng Shuai by the Western media with its treatment of the “Two Michaels.” Chinese Ambassador to Canada Cong pointed out on December 10 that the “Two Michaels” had signed confessions that they had violated Chinese national security laws as part of the process of return to Canada.
While the Western media relentlessly pursued Peng, they have studiously avoided pursuing neither the 2 Michaels, nor the Canadian government to determine its views on Ambassador Cong’s claim.
Clearly, the Western media has determined in advance of its journalism that China (like Russian and Iran) are BAD, and our media’s job therefore is to harass Chinese sports figures and officials. All-the-while giving Western figures an easy ride.

Mohammed Akram Talks Exclusively to PakPassion about the Malik Removal
The blame culture is still alive and kicking in Pakistani cricketing circles and this time it was Malik whose neck was on the line. Why havent the manager or coach or selectors also been sacked? It seems that in Pakistan cricket every time we lose, someone has to get the blame for it and this time it was Malik.
Miandad quits as PCB director
Javed Miandad has resigned from his position as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) director general with immediate effect. Miandad's resignation comes less than 24 hours after emergency meetings with officials and former and current players resulted in Younis Khan taking over the Pakistan captaincy from Shoaib Malik.
Younis Khan appointed new Pakistan Captain
The Pakistan Cricket Board have announced that with immediate effect, Younis Khan will take over from Shoaib Malik as the new team captain. It follows on from Pakistan's 2-1 defeat to Sri Lanka in the recent ODI series on home soil.
Paradise Lost: A Retrospect
They say that as the end approaches, you start thinking about the beginning. Now, to even hint at the notion that Pakistan's 234 run crushing defeat to the jubilant Sri Lanka signifies the start of an era akin to that of an economic depression where the men in green would find themselves contesting for a position in the lower tiers of the ICC ranking tables would be wholly unacceptable.
Now that Malik and the current Pakistani team has been exposed for what they are. I suggest now is the perfect time to make a few prudent rectifications.

Metaverse booming! K-play platform provides strong support for the underlying ecological construction of the metaverse.
Posted bynicole 2022-04-05 Leave a comment on Metaverse booming! K-play platform provides strong support for the underlying ecological construction of the metaverse.
The concept of the metaverse has been on the rise, and the metaverse application platform has emerged in endlessly in recent years. Major companies around the world have been actively exploring and researching the metaverse in their areas of expertise.
The term metaverse was coined in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash.The novel describes the virtual reality entertainment universe, in which people are immersed in a shared virtual space. Through virtual avatars, people try on clothes in stores, attend concerts, study in virtual world.
Early 2011, K-play’s chief architect and CTO Hamed Nilforoshan tried to use encrypted numbers and decentralized networks to create an entrance that could fit in with the metaverse, and create a the bottom of the metaverse that could realize true freedom and democracy. The problem of economic strength marred the smooth running of the R&D. Hamed Nilforoshan’s principal ideas got a new turn until the appearance of Christos Kepler.
On May 20th, 2018, Christos and Hamed agreed to launch Project-K. Christos Kepler is responsible for the economic field, and Hamed Nilforoshan is responsible for the technical field. In March 2019, the project-K project was officially named K-play. K-play has been greatly improved with the addition of many top development engineers from all over the world. In the following two years, K-play launched the 1.0 and 2.0 test versions during which the team completed the programming of hundreds of smart contracts.The team is constantly testing and developing new features.
K-play is an open platform based on blockchain technology which uses smart contracts and core algorithms to combine decentralized finance with ecological applications in metaverse, and ensure the platform is orderly and trustworthy for intelligent operation.
With accurate deployment of smart contracts, K-play enables its various applications to be capable of clearing and settlement on financial level, and effectively promotes the healthy development of ecological applications. The all open-source core code enables the community to develop more original functions on the platform infrastructure, and enables the platform to be more competitive and creative in the future through community autonomy.
K-play creates a new platform for DeFi+Metaverse ecological application based on blockchain technology, such as K-play application platform, ecological co-builder application and digital asset exchange. Users can generate KUSD by staking KPT or directly purchase KUSD, and can participate in various applications on the platform, and at the same time obtain game experience and income rewards. By completing the ecological closed loop from ecological construction, ecological application, asset creation to asset circulation, the ecological co-builder opens the interface to the metaverse world, a new platform for DeFi+ metaverse ecological application. So that every ecological participant and contributor can obtain the corresponding value in the platform. The official technical team will continue to develop new application ecology and token value models. Diversified ecological functions will be in future.
The new era of Silicoin, MetaHero!

the tale of turkey proudfoot
Chapter 6 reign lethal
Classic Mrs. Camden sighed.
Ryan dealt with the mic on the cell phone and requested guidelines from Older Mrs. Camden, “Alright, wait around for me for the doorstep!”
Ever since he acquired an acceptable sum of money from Ubereats, Ryan have been wanting to blend in with the higher-cla.s.s world of Orlando.
Jordan claimed, “Takeout shipping usually are not capable to get into the accommodation. You need to end up to recover it.”
The one that ended up being kicked immediately began bleeding from his nasal area.
Ryan nodded. 36 months before, Hailey, renowned for her gorgeous natural beauty in Orlando, married a average guy. Her marriage brought about a serious blend in Orlando.
Jordan looked up in the luxurious banner ad with the hotel room entrance, which examine, “Happy 80th Birthday, Older Mrs. Camden.”
Seeing this, Ryan immediately inquired Herman, “Mr. Camden, Older Mrs. Camden doesn’t appear to be in a very good state of mind.”
Ryan was the typical representative of Ubereats in Orlando and had the complete influence to flame Jordan. In truth, he was thoroughly up to date of Jordan’s whereabouts.
Jordan smiled and explained, “I’m a 4th-education black color buckle.”
Ryan explained, “It’s a pity i don’t have connectors in Orlando. For those who can’t resolve the matter, Mr. Camden, I doubt I will assist you to frequently. Normally, I’d definitely teach this ungrateful very good-for-almost nothing a course!”
On the other hand, Jordan dodged their punches easily and leaped up to the staircase’s railing easily. Then he kicked one in the experience.
Jordan searched up for the deluxe banner ad for the hotel room front door, which study, “Happy 80th Birthday, Aged Mrs. Camden.”
Ryan was communicating with Ancient Mrs. Camden and the others from the hotel’s lobby.
Jordan’s attacker grew to become mad and tried to strike him as well.
Herman patted Ryan’s shoulder blades and reported, “Mr. Dunn, you’re way too simple. You’re indeed in the position to assist me to with this.”
Jordan said, “Takeout shipping and delivery are not allowed to enter the hotel room. Remember to appear to accumulate it.”
And then, Ryan asked, “How do you find yourself, Outdated Mrs. Camden?”
Jordan was indeed a 4th-degree dark colored belt. The common chronilogical age of fourth-college degree black-belt-owners was at the very least 55 years old and earlier mentioned. Evidently, he didn’t learn about that.
Only then managed Ryan notice the trauma on Drew’s facial area.
Two a few minutes later, Ryan along with the Camdens went out!
Jordan was indeed a fourth-amount dark colored belt. The average chronilogical age of fourth-degree black-buckle-owners was at the very least 55 years old and earlier mentioned. Clearly, he didn’t understand about that.
“Okay, a.s.indication a purchase to Jordan now, make him present it to Marriott Accommodation.”
Jordan leaped down from your railing, and he punched again before shaking his mind and mocking one other event.
Ever since he received a reasonable sum of money from Ubereats, Ryan was looking to match together with the upper-cla.s.s world of Orlando.
Since that time he generated a good amount of cash from Ubereats, Ryan was trying to merge along with the uppr-cla.s.s culture of Orlando.
Ancient Mrs. Camden got up and thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Dunn, that’s very clever people.”
On the other hand, Jordan dodged their punches easily and leaped up in the staircase’s railing conveniently. Then he kicked one of them on his experience.
Having said that, at this time, Ryan had also been devote a tricky recognize.
Jordan stated, “Takeout shipping are usually not able to enter into the accommodation. Remember to turn out to collect it.”
Jordan called the customer’s contact number and mentioned, “Mr. Dunn, your takeout has arrived. I’m within the front door of your Marriott Resort. Please appear to collect it.”
Jordan was indeed a 4th-college degree dark-colored buckle. The common ages of 4th-education dark-colored-belt-stands was at the very least 55 years old and above. Certainly, he didn’t know about that.
However, currently, Ryan have also been set up a difficult identify.
Jordan reported, “Takeout deliveries are usually not in a position to enter in the hotel room. Make sure you turn out to recover it.”
After that, Ryan questioned, “How have you been, Older Mrs. Camden?”
Jordan searched up in the magnificent banner for the resort entry ways, which go through, “Happy 80th Birthday, Classic Mrs. Camden.”
Classic Mrs. Camden got up and thanked him, “Thank you, Mr. Dunn, that’s very loving individuals.”
Having said that, Jordan dodged their punches easily and leaped up on top of the staircase’s railing simply. Then he kicked one of those on his face.
With the over-the-shoulder blades chuck, Jordan slammed him really hard on a lawn!

Home Sports Basketball Taking the Longview: Trusting The Philosophy
Taking the Longview: Trusting The Philosophy
Jason Blevins
It’s a phrase overused and misunderstood. The phrase began as a mantra for the hardcore fanbase to hold on through the darkest times of a deconstruction, tanking and rebuild that started in June 2013. But what does “Trust the Process” really mean?
I am not going to re-litigate the decisions of the process era 76ers organization. That, in and of itself, entirely misses the point. The results are clear, in 5yrs a team was transformed from a mediocre fringe playoff/lottery team into a team with multiple young superstars with rising fortunes in the NBA Eastern Conference. That is, objectively, the developing outcome.
But “The Process” was never really about outcomes. It is founded on a belief that sound decisions, repeated over time, will increase the probability of greatness. It is rooted in the absence of accepting respectably good, in any endeavor where great is the only acceptable goal. It represents the notion that it is better to be terrible with a chance to be great than it is to settle for simply ok or even good.
Think about that for a moment.
This famous quote by Voltaire is one of those classic expressions that can be used to articulate two very different points. Sometimes good is good enough, and the effort and risk to attain perfection may not be a worthwhile use of time. Perfect is the enemy of the good.
But viewed through another lens, good is the enemy of the great. Settling for simply respectable and being “good enough” is a mindset that could keep someone from ever truly achieving greatness. This is the treadmill that so many organizations find themselves on.
Why this matters
When Sam Hinkie interviewed for the Philadelphia 76ers job, his job interview was almost certainly unlike any other sports executive the managing partners were going to experience. Hinkie proposed a simple question to Josh Harris and the team.
“Are you ok with being simply good? Or are you really serious about winning championships?”
Everything that happened after was a direct result of the answer to that question. The vast majority of downstream decisions were viewed through the lens of what gives us a higher probable outcome of greatness. Risk modeling changed completely with the answer to that question.
Safety was eschewed for high upside moonshots.
“You don’t get to the moon by climbing a tree.” – Sam Hinkie
This kind of thinking is far easier to say than to actually live by in our daily lives. And that is why it was so attractive to a segment of the fanbase both in Philadelphia and around the country.
For a very small set of sports fans, this idea, that with enough pain tolerance, you have a chance to topple the giants, makes sense. Not by virtue of luck, or by having the financial resources to buy the apple, but to get there through a dedication to the longest view in the room and to grow an entire orchard that will continue to bear fruit over a long period of time. With enough fruit, your odds of finding multiple golden apples increases to a degree that makes all of the work well worth the effort.
The Balanced Longview
“To take the long view has an unintuitive advantage built in — fewer competitors.” — Sam Hinkie
Real life makes it very difficult to think like this when the pressing demands of food, shelter and family obligations all create pressure to prioritize today’s needs over the needs of the future.
I like to think of myself as sort of three people. Call it states of mental matter:
Today’s version of self who is hungry, hot, tired, bored, whatever. I want what I want in the moment, and I feel the stresses of today’s life. I am burdened and/or buoyed by the decisions and fortunes of my past.
12yo self. This is who I really am deep down, the kid who loved what he loved before girls, work, bills came into the equation.
Future self. This is the person who is most impacted by current me. Decisions made by current me will help current me, but future me will have to inherit those decisions. Did my previous self lay a foundation on which I can progress to greater heights? Or did it take shortcuts that force me to continue to burn time and resources on subsistence?
Maslow’s Heirarchy of Needs
It may be cliché but I am a huge fan of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I think it applies to many aspects of life and society. At the bottom of the hierarchy are today’s basic demands. We essentially get 8766 hours in a year to balance these needs. Time spent on the bottom levels keep us from attaining the highest levels of potential actualization, but without the foundation, you won’t survive long enough to ever achieve your potential. It truly is a balance of investments.
For an NBA franchise, they have the same challenges. You need revenue to continue to operate and you need to retain your fan base, so it is easy to get caught on the treadmill of mediocrity. GM’s make short term decisions all the time. And that can be a competitive advantage.
In life we all make decisions utilizing some combination of these three versions of ourselves. Buying a house could be a gift to the retirement age version of us. Buying a car is a gift to our current iteration.
Sam Hinkie was telling ownership that if they prioritized the future 76ers back in 2013 and were willing to sacrifice the next few years’ iterations, then the probability of a championship level outcome would be significantly enhanced.
Other GM’s would sell you a car, Sam Hinkie was proposing to sell ownership a stake in real estate.
When the team drafted Joel Embiid and Dario Saric, they were putting their investment in a long term potential outcome versus the short term gratification. In hindsight it all seems too obvious, but at the time it required fortitude, tolerance of extreme risk, and a belief that the potential upside outweighed the benefits of getting a player who could contribute immediately.
The Sins of the Past
Ok so we’ve established that we want greatness, that we recognize there are no shortcuts, and that it will take time. So now what?
The first stage of the process was shedding the burden of the short term decisions of the past. The team had, over many years since acquiring Allen Iverson, been in a mode of trying to build a team on a season by season basis. As a result, the team’s pipeline of talent consisted mostly of draftees picked in the late lottery or late teens.
When you look at raw numbers, 71.8% of all NBA All-Stars have been top 10 picks in the NBA draft. From 1999-2013, the Philadelphia 76ers selected in the top 10 exactly twice.
Evan Turner at #2
Andrew Iguodala #9
Now the typical fan mindset was that the team drafted the wrong guy in 2010, and everything would have been better if we had drafted someone else. But that’s taking a very short term view. The reality is that there were other all-stars drafted after Evan Turner, such as Demarcus Cousins or Paul George.
But what have they won? How much different would the 76ers’ fortunes really have been had they simply drafted better? The reality is, not much different.
One star is simply not enough in the NBA unless you happen to select first overall in a year that happens to have Lebron James eligible for selection.
And that’s kind of the point – life rarely comes down to one good or bad decision but is almost certainly more about the accumulation of decisions over a long period of time.
This is the root of the process.
Changing the Mindset
The 2012/2013 Philadelphia 76ers had very few net positive assets from an NBA asset valuation standpoint. Most rebuilding efforts in the league start by a sell off of the assets to get younger prospects with more upside. The 76ers were so bereft of desirable players and so laden with contracts that the first order of business was to clear the cap sheet.
This meant trading away useful players for pennies on the dollar, mostly second round picks, and stripping the team down to virtually nothing.
This did a number of things beyond the accumulation of picks. Mainly it created a completely wide open roster to use as a rapid evaluation and development cycle.
This is a very common practice in the tech industry. The idea that you have to wait years for a feedback loop when investing in technology introduces risk and also means potentially huge wastes in sunk costs for bad investments. Introducing a rapid prototyping cycle involves trying out ideas really quickly and discarding ideas as soon as you realize they are not viable.
This only works when the ideas have a minimal investment cost. Second round picks and un-drafted free agents have an extraordinarily low chance of success in the NBA, but the cost of acquisition is extraordinarily low and the only real investment is a roster spot. NBA teams have 15 roster spots with which to work. Most competing teams have 10-11 solid NBA players in their rotation and leave the final few spots for developmental prospects and injured players. These developmental prospects typically see only “garbage time” minutes, if they ever play at all. This makes it hard to evaluate marginal prospects in live situations.
What you have is a vicious cycle of reinforcement of the notion that only lottery picks can be successful in the NBA. Because so few second round and undrafted players ever get meaningful minutes early in their careers, they never have a chance to show if they can actually play.
The 2014 Philadelphia 76ers essentially were comprised of 15 developmental prospects who were given actual playing time in actual NBA games to aid in the evaluation process. This gave them a huge advantage when recruiting the undrafted players to sign with them. But it required a commitment to roster churn.
A typical NBA team can evaluate 3 or so prospects for an NBA season. The 2014 Philadelphia 76ers had 25 players on their roster at some point in that season. The rapid trial, evaluation, and moving on resulted in only 1 player on today’s team. That player was Robert Covington.
But in 2015, TJ McConnell signed on to play for the 76ers in Vegas Summer League partly because he saw more opportunity for a real roster spot than he did with other teams. He is another key example of finding a useful rotation player AT NO COST simply because the team committed to making roster space available for rapid prototyping.
This T shirt, from the Rights to Ricky Sanchez lottery party in 2016, tells the story of of that rapid prototyping development philosophy. You will only find a few players on here that are still in the NBA, but all were a member of the Philadelphia 76ers at some point during the process era.
What do the Data Say
This is the grammatically correct and super awkward way of asking ourselves how math could inform our decision process. There is significant debate on whether or not Data is singular or plural and how we should use it in vernacular english. Of course one number is not data. Data is a set of numbers, so it is most obviously plural. For Nerds
There is not one big, singular move that a GM or organization can make. Decisions should be made with the widest set of data available, including basic counting stats to measure raw productivity, deeper analytics to control for some environmental and situational factors, and also observational scouting, otherwise known as “the eye test.”
Most team have now embraced advanced analytics and incorporate it into their decision process. But in the early 2010’s, it was relatively rare to allow an analytics person to have a strong and final say when it came to how decisions were ultimately made.
But even the topic of analytics misses the larger point. There is no silver bullet turning a franchise into a champion. You must have multiple stars and multiple cost efficient role players to truly have reasonable expectations of repeated ventures deep into the NBA playoffs.
Many small decisions, compounding over time, each with a small modicum of return on risk, will add up to huge gains. This is basic hedge fund level thinking. The kind of thinking someone from Bain Capital might exhibit.
Mistakes will of course be made. Scouting isn’t magic – sometimes you are going to draft Ben Simmons and sometimes you will select Evan Turner. The key is to give yourself as many chances as possible to hit huge on an investment because 1 huge win makes up for 100 small mistakes.
Think Like Sam
So let’s go back and think again how could we incorporate this philosophy into our lives. As hard as it might be, if we had spent the last 5yrs always asking “How will I wish I had done it in 5yrs,” how different might our lives be?
If we always prioritized the long term over our short term desires, we would still make plenty of mistakes and life would almost certainly be harder in the short term. Would we have the courage to make a huge risky investment, understanding that we wouldn’t even know if it was money wasted for two years? Are we willing to do the deep dive analysis on every decision to weigh the needs of the moment with the benefits and risks of the future.
Would we have 1 part courage and 2 parts patience? Do we want to be perfect? Or is simply good, good enough? There is no wrong answer, but your approach to decision-making should be driven by that answer.

13 What is the best treatment for chondromalacia patella?
14 What should you not do if you have chondromalacia patella?
15 Does chondromalacia patella need surgery?
How do you measure patellar tendon length?
A: patellar tendon length (TL): length of the posterior surface of the tendon from the lower pole of the patella to its insertion on the tibia. B: patellar length (PL): greatest pole-to-pole length.
What does the patellar grind test test for?
The purpose of this test is to detect the presence of patellofemoral joint disorder (patellofemoral pain syndrome, chondromalacia patellae, patellofemoral DJD). This test is also known as Clarke’s Test.
How do you test for patellar tendonitis?
Your doctor may suggest one or more of the following imaging tests:
X-rays. X-rays help to exclude other bone problems that can cause knee pain.
Ultrasound. This test uses sound waves to create an image of your knee, revealing tears in your patellar tendon.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
What is the special test for chondromalacia patella?
The primary diagnostic approach for chondromalacia patellae is radiography with added arthrography. Pinhole scintigraphy, part of arthrography, is also used to diagnose the condition. MRI is an effective, non-invasive method with the ability to increase the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis.

How big is the patellar tendon?
It is about 4.5 cm long in adults (range from 3 to 6 cm).
Is knee a ratio?
A normal value of the patella is a ratio between 0,5 – 1,0. When the ratio is higher than 1,0, there is patella alta. The Caton-Deschamps index is the most commonly used radiographic technique for evaluation of patellar height. This is measured on a lateral radiograph of the knee in 30° degrees of flexion.
How do I know if my patella is tracking correctly?
What are the symptoms? If you have a patellar tracking problem, you may have: Pain in the front of the knee, especially when you squat, jump, kneel, or use stairs (most often when going down stairs). A feeling of popping, grinding, slipping, or catching in your kneecap when you bend or straighten your leg.
What is Clarke’s sign?
Use: To assess for patellofemoral syndrome. Procedure: Client supine, knees extended, compress patella posteriorly & inferiorly; instruct client to contract quadriceps. Findings: If apprehension, pain, & crepitus are present, test is positive.
What does a positive McMurray’s test mean?
If a “thud” or “click” is felt along with pain, this constitutes a ” positive McMurray test ” for a tear in the posterior portion of the lateral meniscus. Likewise, external rotation of the leg can be applied to test the posterior portion of the medial meniscus.
What happens if patellar tendonitis is left untreated?
If left untreated tendonitis can progress to partial tendon or complete tendon tears. Tendon tears or ruptures are typically traumatic but can be caused by chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic steroid use.
You might be interested: Who Killed Pain In Naruto?
Does patellar tendonitis ever go away?
Patellar Tendonitis is usually curable within 6 weeks if treated appropriately with conservative treatment and resting of the affected area.
Can I squat with patellar tendonitis?
Treatment has two objectives: to reduce the inflammation and to allow the tendon to heal. When the knee is painful and swollen, you must rest it. Avoid stair climbing and jumping sports. Keep your knee straight while sitting, and avoid squatting.
What is the best treatment for chondromalacia patella?
Chondromalacia patella is usually treated with rest and ice — and little or no stair climbing at first. A supportive brace can also help lessen the pain. While stairs may be out of the question for a while, other exercises to help strengthen the knee joint will be helpful.
What should you not do if you have chondromalacia patella?
The best treatment for patellofemoral syndrome is to avoid activities that compress the patella against the femur with force. This means avoiding going up and down stairs and hills, deep knee bends, kneeling, step-aerobics and high impact aerobics. Do not wear high heeled shoes.
Does chondromalacia patella need surgery?
With a mild problem, your recover may take only 1-2 weeks. With a severe problem, your recovery may take up to one or two months, or may not be helped with arthroscopic surgery, and may require further surgery. You may have rough surface cartilage under your kneecap, with pain and tenderness (called chondromalacia ).

Automatticians, the people who build WordPress.com, participate in events and projects around the world every day. Periodically, they report back on the exciting things they do when not in front of a computer.
Earlier this month, Happiness Engineers Kathryn Presner and David Cole, Theme Wrangler Michelle Langston, and Community Organizer Jen Mylo attended the inaugural Tech Inclusion conference in San Francisco, CA. The event, which took place September 11-12, was created to explore solutions to the lack of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, and drew more than 500 attendees as well as hosting a career fair attended by hundreds more.
Diversity in the tech industry has been headline news lately. It’s no secret that white men make up the majority of employees in Silicon Valley/the United States’ tech sector, despite the fact that white men only make up about 30% of the US population. Tech companies like Apple, Twitter, and Slack have been responding with their diversity statistics and creating programs intended to address this disparity and create more diverse workforces. At Automattic, we’re a distributed company. 40% of our employees live outside the United States (and of our American employees, very few live in Silicon Valley/the Bay Area), but we struggle with the same challenges as other tech companies around increasing the diversity of our applicant pool and being inclusive.
We went to Tech Inclusion not only to support the conference as a sponsor, but to learn what we can do better. Tech Inclusion brought together people from all walks of tech — developers, HR people, educators, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, etc. — to talk about what’s working (or not), to make connections with each other, and to brainstorm new solutions, and we took full advantage of the experience and talent being shared.
We met so many great people at the event: speakers who were unflinchingly honest in sharing their experiences in the tech industry, people heading up organizations to bring more people from marginalized groups into tech, attendees trying to figure out how to make their own companies more inclusive, and job-seekers brave enough to put themselves out there in an industry where not a lot of people look like them. Unlike many industry events, at Tech Inclusion the speaker lineup was very diverse, and featured people from leading tech companies who aren’t normally as visible at events like these: women, people of color, people from the gay and transgender communities, etc. It was easily the most diverse tech event that I have ever attended. And we met so many people who use WordPress!
The Twitter feed for #techinclusion15 was trending that weekend, full of people sharing pictures, ideas, and reactions to the sessions.

In addition to talking to a hundred or so people at the career fair, Kathryn, David, Michelle, and I were able to connect with people from organizations and events that we hope to partner with in the future to help increase diversity in the tech pipeline, and foster inclusion for the people who are already in the industry, something we are all very excited about. The four of us came away from the conference brimming with ideas, and hopeful.
In the spirit of inclusion, I thought that instead of just one voice telling you about our experience at the event, we could all share something. You’ve already heard from me, so here’s what my colleagues had to say about Tech Inclusion!
Michelle Langston
I’ve never attended a conference quite like Tech Inclusion. I’ve always found tech conferences to be inspiring, but this one was especially inspiring for me, thanks to the diversity among the attendees, speakers, and panelists. The organizers went out of their way to create an environment that was safe and welcoming for all people, regardless of gender, gender expression, race, cultural background, age, and physical ability. Likewise, I was happy to see a large, diverse crowd at the career fair on the second day of the conference. This was encouraging and empowering to me, and I’m more inspired than ever to connect with other people of color in technology. I’d like to become involved with organizations that work to encourage young people of color to consider careers in technology.
— Michelle Langston
Kathryn Presner
I’ve been to a lot of conferences throughout my career, and I’ve been to a lot of tech conferences specifically. But I’ve never been to a tech conference like Tech Inclusion. When I walked in on day one, I immediately felt at home, like I belonged, even though I didn’t know anyone there beyond my colleagues. I was struck by the fact that I’d never seen a more diverse crowd at a conference – not just the audience, but in the spotlight as speakers, panelists, and workshop leaders.
The event reinforced my belief that making the tech industry more inclusive is something that not only benefits the individuals being included, but the field as a whole. The entire conference made me think hard about how I can be a better ally for people of colour and other groups to which I don’t belong, but want to support, whether it’s the LGBT community or deaf people. While there aren’t any easy answers or quick-fix solutions to the diversity conundrum, I’m determined to keep up my own efforts to encourage women in tech — mentoring them in public-speaking, among other things — and to be a supporter of other inclusion efforts where I can.
— Kathryn Presner
I was pretty intrigued when I saw the roster of speakers lined up for Tech Inclusion. I wasn’t familiar with some of the names, but I knew about many of the larger organizations represented. They were doing great work that I was interested in, but this clearly wasn’t the typical “tech conference” speaker lineup. I didn’t mind that, though. I saw people who looked like me, and I wanted to hear about their journeys. I was curious about the similarities our stories might share, and I wanted to learn from their experiences. The biggest motivator though, was that even before attending, I felt like I would belong.
While I gained a lot of what I’d hoped for from this conference, I also came away with much more than I anticipated. Two experiences stick with me most:
While I felt simultaneously welcomed and included, I was also given the opportunity to set aside some of my own comfort to help empower and include people unlike myself. Both of these experiences were invaluable, and I’m thankful that neither existed without the other.
I spoke at length with students from Hack the Hood who will be entering the workforce in the next few years. They are a diverse group of highly-skilled problem solvers who may not have had the opportunity to realize their talents, if not for adults taking the time to invest in them. These students and their successes are not anomalies. I’m convinced that the opportunities for economically disadvantaged students like them are too few, so I’m also brainstorming ways to make a meaningful impact with students from my own community.

In all, Tech Inclusion was hugely inspiring for all four of us. Wish you could have been there? Aren’t you lucky that they were livestreaming, and you can watch the recordings online for free! Day 1 Day 2
Oh, and by the way, Automattic is an equal opportunity employer that values a diverse workforce made up of people from all over the world — and we’re hiring.

27th April 2011 - By Joel Lord
Part 2: Dissecting the Universal Flu Vaccine
(continued from Part 1: Dissecting the Seasonal influenza Vaccine)
To fully unravel the Biondvax Universal Flu Vaccine scandal, a top down approach is necessary. Professor Ruth Arnon, Ph.D, is the official “inventor of BiondVax’s innovative synthetic influenza vaccine and head of BiondVax’s Scientific Advisory Board“. She is also former “Vice-President of the Weizmann Institute of Science (1988-1997)…an internationally acclaimed immunologist. Along with Prof. Michael Sela, she conceptualized and developed ‘Copaxone®’, a blockbuster treatment for multiple sclerosis currently manufactured and commercialized by Teva.”
Contrary to all the Industry fanfare praising the drug, it turns out Copaxone adverse effects ranging from Respiratory Arrest, Tremors, Cardiovascular Disorder, Suicidal Ideation, Shock, Cardiac Disorder Thrombosis, Renal Disorder & Multiple Sclerosis to numerous incidents of deaths were deliberately buried from Press Publications; while references to negative test results in mice from early Clinical Trials were also conveniently omitted. This is noteworthy considering Dr. Ruth Arnon managed the entire process surrounding research & development of Copaxone®. Given her track record for professional misconduct bordering on criminal negligence, similar red flags must therefore be raised, from the outset, when investigating her newest project of record, the “One For All” Multimeric-001 Universal Flu Vaccine. In addition, the overall credibility of Biondvax is obviously tarnished, having honored her with such a prestigious position, despite her recognizably negligent track record.
‘Israeli generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries is suffering a couple of Copaxone-related headaches. First, Israel’s health ministry appointed a special committee to probe a trial of the MS drug. Allegedly, Teva tested Copaxone on ALS patients–despite the fact that previous trials on mice had failed. Teva maintains that testing Copaxone in human ALS patients was perfectly safe despite the deaths seen in mice taking the drug, because Copaxone had already made it through plenty of human trials for its approval as an MS drug. But an internal investigation by the health ministry’s comptroller found that the company didn’t submit all the necessary info before trial approval. So the special committee will take a look at the evidence to see whether the ministry and/or the company did anything wrong.’

Teva were also on the losing end of a $505 million settlement involving Hepatitis C contamination from the use of multi-dose vials, another indication of profit inclined bad judgement & systemic professional disregard for public safety.
‘Doctors are now calling for ban on multi-dose vials in US after nurse anaesthetists at Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada were recently caught routinely double/triple dipping vials containing the anaesthetic drug Propofol. So far 116 patients have been found to be infected with the Hepatitis C virus. 1 victim has received $505m in damages, one of the largest vaccine settlements ever. Two drug companies, Teva Parenteral Medicines and Baxter Healthcare, have been ordered to pay $500m of the damages after the jury dismissed their claim that a “properly labelled product had been blatantly misused by the clinic in question.” Both companies are appealing, but the total award for the hepatitis C outbreak could eventually prove to be one of the largest in medical litigation history.
The key issue is that a single dose of propofol is rarely more than 20 ml. Yet despite evidence from previous outbreaks about the risk of 50 ml vials the companies continued to market them. Since 1998 there have been 35 healthcare associated outbreaks of hepatitis in the United States, infecting more than 500 patients. The prosecution lawyer Robert Eglet called the large vials “weapons of mass destruction.” He said, “This case has always been about trying to get these drug companies to do the right thing and stop selling jumbo sized vials of propofol to endoscopy centres where they know, and they’ve known for over a decade—that they’re going to multidose multiple patients out of them.”’

Fronting Biondvax’s scientific advisory board, Professor Michel Revel, M.D., Ph.D., a staunch advocate of Bioethics/Eugenics, part of the Trans-humanist Movement, with international ties to the UN. ‘Alongside his research and development activity, Revel is deeply involved in the ethics of science and biotechnology, and serves as chairman of the Bioethics Advisory Committee of the Israel Academy of Sciences and as a member of the International Bioethics Committee of UNESCO. He integrates his work in science with traditional Judaism and Jewish philosophy in addressing bioethical issues such as use of human Embryo Stem cells, genetic intervention in man and cloning.’ Revel was most likely brought on board to grease the wheels politically, addressing the various ethical boundaries being transgressed & public concerns over the commercial application of cloning technology.
Shifting gears to the Universal Flu Vaccine model, Biondvax have hit the ground running with a series of high gloss press releases praising the advanced technology – while carefully deflecting attention away from any previous scandals. Journalists have either been told not to stir the hornet’s nest (consider the price tag) or else history has become malleable in the age of corporate media information control.
“BiondVax uses a unique and proprietary (patented cell lines) combination of nine selected epitopes (portion of a molecule to which an antibody binds consisting of sugars, lipids or amino acids) that are conserved (reverse-engineered – theoretically encoding/isolating the complete genome sequence of a pathogen) and common to most influenza strains (which is impossible).”
This so called “quantum leap in the flu vaccine arena” ostensibly enables the ability to isolate & commercially harness/mass-produce “a proprietary combination of conserved, non-changing epitopes, or peptides, common to practically all existing and future flu virus strains, including both seasonal strains as well as pandemic strains (e.g. avian and swine), regardless of their antigenic drift and shifts, which “activate both arms of the immune system (humoral and cellular), providing the broadest possible protection against infection (including Type A and Type B strains)”: essentially a recurring genomic marker found throughout the world community, in terms of Influenza patterns, from which we all may benefit permanently.
‘”We think that’s one of the key commercial benefits and competitive advantages of this vaccine compared with others that are on the market,” Wayne Rudolph, BiondVax’s vice president of corporate development, told BioWorld International. Its Multimeric-001 Universal Vaccine incorporates epitopes from three viral proteins – five from hemagglutinin, three from nucleoprotein and one from the external matrix protein M2. The array is repeated in triplicate and is designed to elicit both a humoral and a cellular immune response.’
“The main advantage with Multimeric-001 is that the vaccine is based on several conserved regions of the virus, which is designed to elicit cross-protective immunity against many different strains of flu virus. The aim is that we would not have to get vaccinated every year but only need a booster every 5 years or so…because our vaccine is universal, it can be used as a priming dose for different flu vaccines and one can be vaccinated throughout the year, and not just before winter. Our clinical development program depends on the results of Phase II and III trials, which should take between 3 and 5 years. We would expect the Phase II trials to happen between the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011, and the Phase III trials to commence in 2012. Thus, in 3 years time in 2013, our vaccine will probably be at the latter stages of clinical trial development. Hopefully, our clinical development will proceed as planned and the Multimeric vaccine will be available on the market in a few years time.” Tamar Ben-Yedidia/BiondVax Pharmaceuticals Ltd Representative
‘It is now possible to determine the complete genome sequence of a pathogen in a short period of time (months) at low cost. Genomic information can then be used to screen the inclusive set of proteins potentially encoded by a microorganism, in search of potential vaccine candidates – an approach known as reverse vaccinology’.
One primary concern which jumps right off the page, the required use of E. coli bacteria to ferment the epitopes/peptides.”BiondVax’s vaccine is a recombinant protein, efficiently manufactured by fermentation in E. coli (transformed with pLS408), facilitating production of commercial-scale quantities in 6-8 weeks” While most varieties of E. coli are considered “harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea”, typically “a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps, followed by serious organ system damage such as kidney failure.” As the Mayo Clinic points out, “Healthy adults usually recover from infection with E. coli O157:H7 within a week, but young children and older adults can develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).” Biondvax is clearly playing with fire here; given all that we learned about cross contamination, synergistic toxicity & the risk of adventitious agents/cancer, including the mutability factor of viruses when harnessing virus-heavy metal-tissue culture reagent-stabilizer cocktails in conjunction with animal cell substrates for vaccines.
‘There are many strains (over 700 serotypes) of E. coli. Most of the E. coli are normal inhabitants of the small intestine and colon and do not cause disease in the intestines (non-pathogenic). Nevertheless, these non-pathogenic E. coli can cause disease if they spread outside of the intestines, for example, into the urinary tract (where they cause bladder or kidney infections), or into the blood stream (sepsis). Other E. coli strains (enterovirulent E. coli strains or EEC) cause “poisoning” or diarrhea even though they usually remain within the intestine by producing toxins or intestinal inflammation.’

Probing deeper into Biondvax’s methodology reveals serious health hazards corresponding to the research & development findings behind the Universal Flu Vaccine.
US Patent Application 20100074920/PEPTIDE VACCINE FOR INFLUENZA VIRUS, Laboratory procedure involving Peptides/detailed analysis –
‘The invention revealed natural human antibodies against each of the peptides studied. The data indicates that the peptides are antigenic and natural antibodies can recognize effectively such short peptide epitopes.
All peptides were dissolved in 10 mM sodium phosphate/0.15 M NaCl/2 mM EDTA, pH 7.2, to a concentration of 5 nmol/ml. One hundred microliters of the peptide solution (0.5 nmol of peptide) was added to each well and allowed to react overnight at +4° C. The plate was then washed three times with 10 mM sodium phosphate/0.15 M NaCl/0.05% Tween-20, pH 7.2).
Serum was obtained from six healthy individuals (29-44 years of age), and dilutions 1:10, 1:100 and 1:1000 were prepared from all but one serum sample in the washing buffer. The serum obtained from person nr. 5 was instead diluted 1:25, 1:250 and 1:2500 in the washing buffer. One hundred microliters of each serum sample was added to the wells and incubated for 30 mins at RT. Control wells contained no peptide but both 2-mercaptoethanol and BSA blockings were employed. All incubations were performed in duplicates.
The bound serum antibodies were quantitated by adding anti-human IgG (rabbit)–HRP conjugate (Sigma) in 1:30000 dilution to each well. After one hour incubation at RT, the plate was washed five times with the washing buffer. One hundred microliters of TMB+ color reagent (Dako Cytomation) was then added. The absorbance was read at 650 nm after 15 mins. Immediately after this measurement 100 μl of 1 M sulphuric acid was added and the absorbance read at 450 nm.’
Note 1: ‘The bound serum antibodies were quantitated by adding anti-human IgG (rabbit)’ Rabbit anti-human IgG (immunoglobulin – glycoprotein molecules that are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen and which function as antibodies). “Many novel vaccines are produced in animal cell substrates, and emerging infectious diseases may theoretically be transmitted from animals to humans through these vaccines. The challenge of identifying potential adventitious agents in vaccines closely parallels the challenge of identifying the agents causing particular emerging infectious diseases.’ US Centers for Disease Control
Note 2: ‘The plate was then washed three times with Tween-20’, then ‘five times with the washing buffer’). Tween-20 (detergent/washing buffer): Identical formula to Polysorbate 80/Tween 80 – linked to infertility & severe allergic reactions (ie. Anaphylaxis). ‘Neonatal female rats were injected with Tween 80 after birth. Treatment accelerated maturation, prolonged the oestrus cycle & induced persistent vaginal oestrus. Ovaries were without corpora lutea & had degenerative follicies.‘
Note 3: ‘The plate was then washed three times with 10 mM sodium phosphate‘. Sodium Phosphate Dibasic Heptahydrate (also know as Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate) – Chemical composition includes Fluoride/50 mg/kg, Arsenic/50 mg/kg, Lead/10 ppm. Excipients (pharmacologically inactive substance, carriers for the active ingredients of a medication)), used as part of a phosphate buffered saline in vaccines. May sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in kidneys. Chronic ingestion or inhalation may induce systemic phosphorous poisoning. Liver damage, kidney damage, jaw/tooth abnormalities, blood disorders & cardiovascular effects can result. The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium.
RECOMBINANT FLAGELLIN GENE AND USES THEREOF/Patent Application WO/2007/125535, BIONDVAX PHARMACEUTICALS LTD., November 08, 2007, Laboratory procedure involving “cloning and expression of the modified gene” (critical in the development of the Universal Flu Vaccine) –
‘The expression vector was digested with BamHI and Ncol restriction enzymes. Ncol digestion was performed under conditions that allow only partial digestion in order to isolate a polynucleotide which had not been cleaved at the Ncol site existing within the kanamycin resistance coding sequence. The modified fliC gene was isolated from construct pBND12.9 by restriction with Ncol and BgIII. The two fragments were ligated and the resulting construct contains a unique Xhol site that was inserted with the fliC gene fragment and is new in pUCl 8. On the other hand, both BamHI and BgIII sites were obliterated during ligation, as were the EcoRI, Kpnl, Sad and Smal restriction enzyme sites.
Resulting clones were partially sequenced (at the junction regions) and a correct clone having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 was selected and named pBVXOO. Expression of pB VXOO in a flagella-deficient E. coli strain Expression of the modified fliC gene from the pBVXOO construct was tested in the flagella-deficient E. coli strain. Cells were transformed with the pBVXOO vector.
Control transformations included: a negative control (transformation with pBNDδ.l, which does not contain a fliC gene) and a positive control (transformation with pBND12.9). Expression was induced with IPTG and cells were harvested 4 hours following IPTG induction. Supernatants and pellets were analyzed by 10% SDS-PAGE with Coomassie staining (Figure 4). Supernatants were analyzed by Western blotting with a rabbit anti-flagellin antibody (Figure 5) The positive control is isolated flagella from Salmonella cells transformed with pLS408. Membranal samples were analyzed by Western blotting with a rabbit anti- flagellin antibody (Figure 6). The positive control is isolated flagella from Salmonella cells transformed with pLS408.’
http://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/Recombinant-flagellin-gene-uses-thereof/WO2007125535.html
To clarify, Biondvax are using pLS408 to “transform” or temper down the E. coli strain for service in the Flu Vaccine protein mixture. ”BiondVax’s vaccine is a recombinant protein, efficiently manufactured by fermentation in E. coli (transformed with pLS408), facilitating production of commercial-scale quantities in 6-8 weeks”
Note 1: ‘The positive control is isolated flagella from Salmonella cells’ – ‘Pathogenic Salmonella enter cells such as those of the intestinal epithelium by altering cellular cytoskeletal structure and inducing membrane ruffling of the infected cell. Salmonella is able to alter the cytoskeleton and membrane through the action of secreted bacterial Sip proteins.’

Biondvax are utilizing an experimental adjuvant traditionally reserved for veterinary formulations and more recently in the field of radical Cancer Therapy treatments. Mineral oil type solutions of this kind have been restricted from general use in most countries, including the US, until now. Seemingly the floodgates have been opened wide to accommodate novel vaccine development of this kind. According to BiondVax Chief Scientific Officer Tamar Ben-Yedidia, “The virus is adjuvanted with Montanide ISA 51VG, a water-in-oil emulsion similar to Freund’s adjuvant. That represents a second reformulation of the vaccine – an earlier version employed bacterial flagellin protein as an immunostimulant. “Unfortunately mice respond very well to the flagellin protein. Humans are very sensitive to it,”
‘Oil based vaccines are widely used in veterinary field to prevent from infectious diseases since many years. The strong stimulation of immune system they induce and the demand of better vaccines conducted to develop dedicated formulations to human. Montanide ISA 51 VG and Montanide ISA 720 VG are adjuvants rendering stable W/O emulsions when mixed with antigenic media. Their clinical development, started 30 years ago, is linked to the history of peptide based therapeutic vaccines for cancer.’
http://www.finlay.sld.cu/publicaciones/vaccimonitor/Vm2010/Vacci-Adjuvant%202010.pdf
‘Compared to traditional Incomplete Freund’s Adjuvants (IFA), modern oil adjuvants such as the MONTANIDE ISA ranges have been developed to improve both the safety and efficacy of the formulated vaccines and also provide vaccine emulsion properties (stability, viscosity, seringeability, etc.) (11). MONTANIDE adjuvants have been applied in veterinary and human therapeutic vaccines (12). Veterinary applications have been used in foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) eradication programmes worldwide for more than 40 years. Human applications have existed since 1992 for therapeutic vaccines and recently led to a cancer treatment breakthrough with the first cancer vaccine license based on MONTANIDE ISA 51 VG (10).’

Complete Analysis: Side Effects in Laboratory Animals Historically Attributed to the Use of Freund’s Incomplete Adjuvant (similar in composition to the Biondvax adjuvant formula) –
1. Sterile abscesses:
‘A sterile abscess is one that is not produced by an infection. It is caused by irritants, such as foreign bodies or injected drugs, and medications that have not been totally absorbed. Sterile abscesses quite often heal into hardened scar tissue.’ http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/abscess#ixzz1IzoYbPTp
2. Granulomas:
Granulomas may be encountered in association with a variety of malignant neoplasms in the following circumstances – Commonly in Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin T cell lymphomas, seminoma of the testis and ovarian dysgerminoma. Some individuals with seminoma may develop granulomatous lymphadenitis in non-metastatic lymph nodes in sites distant from the primary tumor. In Hodgkin disease granulomas may be seen in iiver and spleen which exhibit no evidence of Hodgkin disease involvement. http://granuloma.homestead.com/cancer_and_granuloma.html
“A granuloma is a compact (organized) collection of mature mononuclear phagocytes (macrophages and/or epithelioid cells) which may or may not be accompanied by accessory features such as necrosis or the infiltration of other inflammatory leukocytes” (Adams DO. The granulomatous inflammatory response.” Am J Pathol 1976:84:163-192)
‘A granuloma is a non-specific type of inflammatory response which may be triggered by diverse antigenic agents or by inert foreign materials. The antigenic triggering agents cause activation of the cellular immune system (T lymphocytes and macrophages); granulomas are formed as the result of the complex interaction of cytokines produced by these cells.The antigenic triggering agents include a wide variety of infectious agents (mycobacteria, fungi, etc.) beryllium, the unknown antigen(s) responsible for sarcoidosis and numerous other antigens. Granulomatous reactions to inert foreign bodies are generally considered to be non-immunologic in origin.’

5. Ascites in BALB/c mice:
‘Ascites is the accumulation of fluid (usually serous fluid which is a pale yellow and clear fluid) in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity. The abdominal cavity is located below the chest cavity, separated from it by the diaphragm. Ascitic fluid can have many sources such as liver disease, cancers, congestive heart failure, or kidney failure.’
http://www.medicinenet.com/ascites/article.htm
Ascites can be a symptom of many types of cancer. The types of cancer that are more likely to cause ascites are cancer of the breast, lung, large bowel (colon), stomach, pancreas, ovary and the lining of the womb (endometrium). There may be several reasons for the build-up of ascites –
A. If cancer cells have spread to lining of the abdomen, they can irritate it and cause fluid to build up.
B. If the liver is affected by cancer cells, this may block the circulation of blood through the liver, which can lead to a build-up of fluid in the abdomen.
C. If the liver is damaged, it may produce less blood protein. This may upset the body’s fluid balance, which causes fluid to build up in the body tissues, including the abdomen.
D. Cancer cells can block the lymphatic system. This is a network of fine channels which runs throughout the body. One of its functions is to drain off excess fluid, which is eventually got rid of in the urine. If some of these lymphatic channels are blocked, the system can’t drain efficiently and fluid can build up.

‘Freund’s adjuvants are water-in-mineral oil emulsions (W/O emulsions) without heat-killed mycobacteria added (Freund’s incomplete adjuvant) or with heat-killed mycobacteria added (Freund’s complete adjuvant – 5 mg of dried, heat-killed Mycobacterium tuberculosis or butyricum added). Freund’s incomplete adjuvant (FIA) has been included in veterinary, as well as human, vaccines. The veterinary vaccines included vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease, equine influenza virus, hog cholera, rabies, para influenza, Newcastle disease and infectious canine hepatitis.
Efficacy & adverse side effects report on Freund’s Incomplete adjuvant
A. In cattle, FIA was inefficient in combination with herpes virus.
B. In humans, FIA was used for a period of about two decades, particularly with vaccines against influenza virus, tetanus toxoid and killed polio-myelitis virus, whereas it failed to increase vaccine efficacy when used with adeno virus and trachoma.
C. In Britain alone, approximately 900,000 doses of a mineral oil-adjuvanted influenza vaccine were administered to humans in the early 1960s. The most frequent side-effects recorded after the use of FIA-adjuvanted vaccines in patients were cystic swellings and muscle indurations. Indurations could persist for up to 1 yr after injection. Histological examination of the indurated loci showed oil granulomas with central vacuoles where the oil was assumed to have resided. The vacuoles were surrounded by epitheloid and fibroblast cells with scattered plasma cells.
D. All together, more than 500,000 humans have been vaccinated with FIA adjuvanted vaccines. However, in the mid-1960s, the use of FIA in human vaccination was discontinued because of concerns about the safety of the adjuvant.’
History of ‘Freund’s complete & Incomplete Adjuvant
‘Freund’s Incomplete Adjuvant (FIA) has the same oil/surfactant mixture as FCA but does not contain any mycobacteria. It is frequently used to boost animals that received a primary antigen injection in FCA, but it can be used as the adjuvant for the primary injection as well. It has adjuvant properties that favor humoral immunity without cell-mediated immunity, but is generally considered to be less potent than FCA (although exceptions exist). FIA is capable of causing abscesses and granuloma formation, but such reactions are generally less severe than those that accompany the use of FCA.
In the 1960s, emulsified water-in-oil and water-in-vegetable-oil adjuvant preparations used experimentally showed special promise in providing exalted “immunity” of long duration (Hilleman, 1966). The development of Freund’s adjuvants emerged from studies of tuberculosis. Several researchers noticed that immunological responses in animals to various antigens were enhanced by introduction into the animal of living Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the presence of Mycobacterium, the reaction obtained was of the delayed type, transferrable with leukocytes. Freund measured the effect of mineral oil in causing delayed-type hypersensitivity to killed mycobacteria. There was a remarkable increase in complement-fixing antibody response as well as in delayed hypersensitivity reaction. Freund’s adjuvant consists of a water-in-oil emulsion of aqueous antigen in paraffin (mineral) oil of low specific gravity and low viscosity. Drakeol 6VR and Arlacel A (mannide monooleate) are commonly used as emulsifiers.
The pathologic reaction to the Freund’s adjuvants starts at the injection site with mild erythema and swelling followed by tissue necrosis, intense inflammation and the usual progression to the formation of a granulomatous lesion. Scar and abscess formation may occur. The reactions observed following the administration of the complete adjuvant are generally far more extensive than with the incomplete adjuvant. The earliest cellular response is polymorphonuclear, then it changes into mononuclear and later includes plasmocytes. The adjuvant emulsion may be widely disseminated in varrious organs, depending on the route of inoculation, with the development of focal granulomatous lesions at distal places. Various gram-negative organisms may show a potentiating effect of the adjuvant, similar to that displayed by mycobacteria.
Allergens in Freund’s adjuvant deserve special attention because they can be dangerous. These dangers include an overdose, i.e., the immediate release of more than the tolerated amount of properly emulsified vaccine in sensitive persons, or the breaking of the emulsion with the release of all or part of the full content of the allergen within a brief period of time. Long-term delayed reactions include the development of nodules, cysts or sterile abscesses requiring surgical incision. It is also likely that some allergens used, such as house dust or mould, might have acted like mycobacteria to potentiate the inflammatory response. Such reactions have been reduced with the use of properly tested and standardised reagins.
One must also consider that the first application of Freund’s adjuvants was made at a time when modern concepts of safety were non-existent Indeed, mineral oil adjuvants have not been approved for human use in some countries, including the USA (apparently until now).’
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/adjuvants.html
According to the Vaccine Industry protocol, the oil component of oil-in-water adjuvants generally consists of part crude oil (‘normally light mineral oil of a highly purified quality’). ‘Through refining of the oil for use in adjuvants, a so-called “white mineral oil” is obtained by sulfonation to remove aromatic hydrocarbons. Unsaturated and other reactive hydrocarbons, as well as sulfur and nitrogenderivatives and volatiles, are also removed. Further refining may take place through filtration and extraction with alcohol.’
‘Traditionally, the modus operandi of the mineral oil emulsions is associated with at least three different mechanisms: (1) The establishment of a repository antigen-containing locus at the site of injection allowing a gradual and continous release of the antigen; (2) provision of a vehicle capable of trans-porting emulsified antigen through the lymphatic system to distant sites (e.g.,draining lymphnodes and the spleen) creating additional foci of antibody formation; and (3) interaction with mononuclear cells, such as phagocytic cells,antigen presenting cells, etc.’
Crude Oils contain:
A. paraffins (alkanes, saturated noncyclic hydrocarbonchains)
B. olefins (alkenes, unsaturated, noncyclic hydrocarbon chains)
C. cycloparaffins (cycloalkanes, naphtenes, saturated cyclic hydrocarbon rings)
D. aromatic hydrocarbons (cyclic compounds with resonating doublebonds).

In the case of the Universal Flu Vaccine ‘a water-in-oil emulsion similar to Freund’s adjuvant‘ known as Montanide ISA 51VG has been added; said to ‘render stable W/O (water-in-oil) emulsions when mixed with antigenic media (stimulates the production of an antibody).’
Montanide ISA 51VG
‘Montanide ISA Adjuvants [Seppic, Paris, France] are a group of oil/surfactant based adjuvants in which different surfactants are combined with either a non-metabolizable mineral oil, a metabolizable oil, or a mixture of the two. They are prepared for use as an emulsion with aqueous Ag solution. The surfactant for Montanide ISA 50 [ISA = Incomplete Seppic Adjuvant] is mannide oleate, a major component of the surfactant in Freund’s adjuvants. The surfactants of the Montanide group undergo strict quality control to guard against contamination by any substances that could cause excessive inflammation, as has been found for some lots of Arlacel A used in Freund’s adjuvant. The various Montanide ISA group of adjuvants are used as water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, or water-in-oil-in-water emulsions. The different adjuvants accommodate different aqueous phase/oil phase ratios, because of the variety of surfactant and oil combinations. The performance of these adjuvants is said to be similar to Incomplete Freunds Adjuvant [IFA] for antibody production; however the inflammatory response is usually less.’
http://www.whale.to/a/adjuvants1.html
‘Montanide ISA 51 VG – An water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion with immunomoadjuvant activity. Montanide ISA 51 VG appears to act by enhancing the immune system’s cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against antigen(s) in vaccines. The surfactant mannide monooleate in Montanide ISA 51 VG contains vegetable-grade (VG) oleic acid derived from olive oil.’

‘Montanide ISA-51, a stabilized water-in-oil emulsion adjuvant containing mineral oil with mannide oleate added as a surfactant, non-specifically stimulates cell-mediated immune responses to antigens.’
http://www.netdoc.com/Dictionary/Medical-Dictionary/HLA%11A1-A2-B35%11Restricted-Survivin-Peptides-Montanide-ISA%1151-Vaccine/
‘At histological examination vaccine preparations (those containing Montanide ISA 51 VG) were shown to induce inflammatory lesions consisting of cysts and granulomas with infiltration of macrophages and plasma cells around them. Some lesions were surrounded by fibrosis.’
http://www.revmedvet.com/2008/RMV159_371_375.pdf
Mannide Monooleate
‘The emulsifier used in Freund’s complete and incomplete adjuvant to form the W/O (water-in-oil) emulsion is mannide monooleate, an ester consisting of mannitol as the hydrophilic residue and oleic acid, a C18 fatty acid, as the hydrophobic residue. Arlacel A is a tradename for mannide monooleate.
Abstract: This investigation was undertaken to determine the metabolic fate of mannide monooleate when employed in a mineral oil emulsion. Female white rats and female squirrel monkeys were injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly with an emulsion made with mineral oil and surfactant and including either 1-14C-oleate or UL-14C-mannide-labeled mannide monooleate tracer preparations. It was shown that 30–40% of the surfactant mixture is removed from the site of injection after 24 hr. After 1 week, 40–60% of the surfactant is removed from the site of injection; while after 3 months, 10–30% of the surfactant still remains. The 1-14C-oleatelabeled mannide monooleate was largely incorporated into the various lipid classes, while the UL-14C-mannide-labeled mannide monooleate preparation was largely eliminated in the urine. There was some indication that the inguinal lymph nodes of monkeys may have contained unusually large amounts of radioactivity.’
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jps.2600590805/abstract
‘Nearly 30 years after intense investigations of mannide monooleates for use as vaccine adjuvants, a novel adjuvant-active saccharide oleate ester was isolated and identified from the product mixture synthesized from mannitol and oleic acid. The mixture, which contained many kinds of mannide mono- and dioleates and their derivatives, was fractionated by liquid chromatography (LC), and the fraction with the highest adjuvanticity was obtained. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) showed that it consisted of one major compound with an average molecular weight (MW) 2850. Infrared (IR) absorption and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra suggested it had oligosaccharide moieties and oleate domains. These findings suggested that it was an oligosaccharide oleate ester of the average MW 2850. The molecular ratio of oleate chains per monosaccharide unit was approximately 0.8.’
Surfactant: ‘Disinfection is usually done with chemical agents, the most important which are aldehydes (formaldehyde), alcohols, phenols, halogens (I. CI.), and surfactants (detergents).’
‘Adverse effects of surfactant include apnea or lack of breathing, nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections, and patent ductus arteriosus, an abnormality of the heart. Surfactant preparations are effective in preventing and treating Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants, but the long-term effects of surfactant preparations on disease and death have not been determined. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.).’
In many ways the greatest threat posed by 21st Century Vaccine Technology is cloning in & of itself; the hubris of replicating/mass-producing, from scratch, signature protein epitopes to construct an “innovative synthetic influenza vaccine“. As always, nature proves itself resilient to change, and will respond to man’s attempts at reshuffling the deck by literally re-assorting man. We have opened another Pandora’s Box, and with it the probability for unforeseen genetic mutations – given the inexactitude of the science; literally a a game of genetic roulette where-in the community at large will become unwitting volunteers in the greatest experiment since the advent of the Industrial Age (‘…the degree of attenuation of laboratory-passaged viruses may or may not be known. There can in some cases be uncertainty regarding the biological attributes of a synthetic replica of a gene bank virus sequence‘).
‘The ability to carry out DNA synthesis is no longer confined to an elite group of scientists as was the case for the first several decades of research using recombinant DNA. Now, anyone with a laptop computer can access public DNA sequence databases via the Internet, access free DNA design software, and place an order for synthesized DNA for delivery.’
Multimeric-001 Vaccine: Clinical Trial results as reported by Biondvax –
‘Data from a single-blind, placebo-controlled, Israeli Phase I/II trial in 60 healthy volunteers ages 55-75 years showed that 2 intramuscular injections of BiondVax’s Multimeric-001 with or without adjuvant followed by administration of an undisclosed commercially-available seasonal influenza vaccine induced a significant increase in the levels of antibodies against the Multimeric-001 vaccine and led to a significant elevation in the secretion of interferon (IFN) gamma and interleukin-2 (IL-2). Two injections of the highest dose (500 μg) of Multimeric-001 plus adjuvant exhibited the highest immunogenicity. The vaccine was well tolerated at all doses tested, both with and without adjuvant. Data were presented at the BIO International Convention in Chicago.BiondVax previously reported data from a Phase I/II trial in 60 healthy volunteers ages 18-49 showing similar results (see BioCentury, Dec. 21,2009).’
http://www.biondvax.com/image/users/128084/ftp/my_files/Documents/BioCentury%20-%20May%202010.pdf?id=3577017
‘From a cellular immunity perspective, it was again found that the Multimeric-001 vaccine caused a statistically significant elevation in the secretion of interferon gamma and interleukin-2. This cellular response distinguishes the Multimeric-001 vaccine from existing seasonal flu vaccines, which are characterised mainly by their ability to stimulate only a humoral response. As was found in the first Phase I/II trial, the highest immunogenicity was observed when using the highest dose (500mcg) adjuvanted formulation of the Multimeric-001 vaccine.’
http://www.biondvax.com/image/users/128084/ftp/my_files/Documents/Anti%20Infective%20Drug%20News%2013%20May%202010.pdf?id=3577016
Note: Biondvax volunteers were given a double dose of shots, both the Universal Multimeric-001 Flu vaccine and ‘an undisclosed commercially-available seasonal influenza vaccine‘; others a combination of ‘two injections of the highest dose (500 μg) of Multimeric-001 plus adjuvant’. In neither instance was the vaccine used on its own; an early indication of the inefficiency of the vaccine adjuvant in the field.
Considering Professor Ruth Arnon’s track-record, the deliberate misrepresentation & embellishment of Copaxone Clinical Trial results which she oversaw (‘deaths seen in mice taking the drug’, ‘tested Copaxone on ALS patients–despite the fact that previous trials on mice had failed’, ‘the company didn’t submit all the necessary info before trial approval’), there is simply no way to confirm the accuracy of Biondvax’s current Universal Flu Vaccine Clinical Trial data. Remember she is the official “inventor of BiondVax’s innovative synthetic influenza vaccine and head of BiondVax’s Scientific Advisory Board“.
Inevitably the brunt of any damage, short or long term, will occur after it is too late, as reports of adverse effects trickle/pour in from countries around the world. By then the Vaccine Lobbyist Spin Doctors will have new excuses to deflect blame away from this burgeoning investment. Within a generation, as Cancer levels surge & fertility rates plummet, we may lose our momentum once the mainstream Corporate fueled Media shuts down the Independent voices of freedom. There will always be those who take sides on this issue, the whistle-blowers waiting in the wings. But we can’t depend on that.
What will forfeit their progress prematurely? Full disclosure of company internal laboratory results & Executive Board daily minutes as regarding this product. The public the right to know. After all we are the target market. And yet, given our sheer strength of numbers & moral responsibility of purpose, the vast majority, historically, will defer that power to Gov’t institutions & fraudulent UN mandates; overlooking their natural born, inherent rights to self-determination of the body. That is why we MUST be the generation which turns the tide. Our children are counting on us to steer the course toward a brighter & healthier future. If we back down now, the Vaccine Industry will certainly gain a foothold on the dictates of our lives, through ever widening draconian style International agreements, the enforcement of Mass Vaccination mandates & eventual drugging of our water/food supply against our will; and we may lose this precious window. It is up to you.

Review of Part 1: Dissecting the Seasonal influenza Vaccine
Summarizing this investigation, in terms of the efficacy of the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine, “over 200 viruses cause influenza and influenza-like illness which produce the same symptoms (fever, headache, aches and pains, cough and runny noses). The Seasonal Influenza Vaccine has proven itself, at best, “effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses“, with “modest effect in reducing influenza symptoms…no evidence that they affect complications, such as pneumonia, or transmission.” In children under the age of two “the efficacy of inactivated vaccine was similar to placebo.”
The majority of Flu deaths are attributed primarily to bacterial pneumonia triggered by the flu symptoms. The flu itself cannot kill you. Most victims of the flu are those 65 years and older. In almost every instance a compromised immune system is a key factor in those victims who succumb to the flu. In addition, several recent controlled studies out of Canada identified that ‘prior receipt of 2008–09 TIV (trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine aka regular flu shot) was associated with increased risk of medically attended pH1N1 illness during spring–summer 2009‘; that in fact ‘people vaccinated against seasonal flu are twice as likely to catch swine flu‘.
Primary risks associated with Seasonal Influenza Vaccine uptake include:
1. Cross–contamination with adventitious agents (mutability factor/cross-contamination – ‘emerging infectious diseases may theoretically be transmitted from animals to humans through these vaccines‘).
2. Exposure to ‘cell lines from animals, which are known to produce infectious ‘endogenous retroviruses‘ (Remnants of ancestral exogenous retroviral infections fixed in the germline DNA).
3. Concerns over residual DNA associated with the use of ‘continuous cell lines (Vero cells – derived from African Green Monkey kidneys & CHO cells – derived from Chinese hamster ovaries used as substrates).
4. Oncogenic agents associated with the use of Diploid cell strains, derived from aborted fetal tissue, which causes neoplasms/cancer.
5. The use of Primary cells, obtained directly from the tissues of healthy animals; described as ‘more likely to contain adventitious agents than banked, well-characterized cells‘
6. Further, a shocking report from the National Coalition of Organized Women (NCOW) presented data from two different sources demonstrating that the 2009/10 H1N1 vaccines contributed to an estimated 1,588 miscarriages and stillbirths – as high as 3,587 cases.
Standard Influenza Vaccine ingredients of concern include:
1. Thimerosal Mercury, a sterilant preservative which binds with hemoglobin,rapidly depletes the immune system and induces auto-immune diseases ( ‘taken up in the periphery by all nerve endings and rapidly transported inside the axon of the nerves (axonal transport) to the spinal cord & brainstem’)
2. Aluminum (Aluminum Hydroxide/Potassium Sulfate) an adjuvant designed to trigger a robust immune response, which actually interferes with a variety of cellular & metabolic processes in the nervous system and in other tissues, causing severe long-term neurological damage (‘The results for aluminum were almost identical to ethyl mercury/Thimerosal because the amount of aluminum in vaccines goes almost exactly with the mercury’)
3. Neomycin & Polymixin B, both antibiotics added to the Influenza vaccine, both hazardous to a fetus, associated with kidney failure ( ‘exposure to Neomycin during pregnancy may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus.’ – teratogen is a substance that can cause birth defects).
4. Polysorbate 80 or ‘Tween 80‘ a detergent stabilizer linked to infertility & severe allergic reactions ie. Anaphylaxis (‘Neonatal female rats were injected with Tween 80 after birth. Treatment accelerated maturation, prolonged the oestrus cycle & induced persistent vaginal oestrus. Ovaries were without corpora lutea & had degenerative follicies.‘).
5. Βeta-Propiolactone, a disinfectant ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to humans and “reasonably expected to be a human carcinogen” (‘Neurological complications due to beta-propiolactone (BPL)-inactivated antirabies vaccination. Clinical, electrophysiological and therapeutic aspects’).
6. Formaldehyde, used as “a preservative & disinfectant”, which binds to the proteins in your DNA, known to cause cancer, chronic bronchitis, eye irritation when exposed to the body’s immune system (“It weakens the immune system, causes neurological system damage, genetic damage, metabolic acidosis, circulatory shock, respiratory insufficiency and acute renal failure, as well as being a sensitizer).
7. Potassium Chloride, used as part of a phosphate buffered saline, linked to infertility, pain and thrombophlebitis if administered in high concentration into small veins in patients with cardiac disease, renal impairment, or acidosis (“May induce Cardiac arrest especially in renal impairment or if administered too rapidly”).
8. Sodium Phosphate Dibasic Heptahydrate & Potassium Phosphate Monobasic, both excipients used as part of a phosphate buffered saline , may sequester calcium and cause calcium phosphate deposits in kidneys, chronic ingestion or systemic phosphorous poisoning (‘Liver damage, kidney damage, jaw/tooth abnormalities, blood disorders & cardiovascular effects can result‘).
9. Sodium Deoxycholate, a detergent added to new generation of ‘Split Vaccines’ to modify the whole virus which weakens the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and subsequently activate seizures (‘causes cell death and symptoms such as burning, redness, and swelling‘).
Review of Part 2: Dissecting the Universal Flu Vaccine
In addition to the overlapping concerns from the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine, the primary risks associated with the Biondvax One For All” Multimeric-001 Universal Flu Vaccine include:
1. The required use of E. coli bacteria to ferment the epitopes/peptides.”BiondVax’s vaccine is a recombinant protein, efficiently manufactured by fermentation in E. coli, facilitating production of commercial-scale quantities in 6-8 weeks” (“young children and older adults can develop a life-threatening form of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome“).
2. Cross-contamination of viral material which may produce chimera viruses (‘Because some mammalian tumors and some cells transformed by viruses contain infectious virus, cells transformed by an unknown mechanism have a theoretical risk of containing a transforming virus.’ FDA).
3. The onset of cancerous growth including Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (“There are several mechanisms by which vaccine cell substrates, including neoplastic cells, could theoretically become infected with a TSE agent.” FDA)
4. Laboratory procedure involving “cloning and expression of the modified gene”, critical in the development of the Universal Flu Vaccine, is utilizing isolated flagella from Salmonella cells transformed with pLS408 linked to infertility (‘The Salmonella strain carrying the recombinant plasmid-pLS408-H1 may thus be a potential source of antifertility vaccine.’).
Note: Biondvax are using pLS408 to “transform” or temper down the E. coli strain for service in the Flu Vaccine protein mixture. ”BiondVax’s vaccine is a recombinant protein, efficiently manufactured by fermentation in E. coli (transformed with pLS408), facilitating production of commercial-scale quantities in 6-8 weeks”
5. Potential adjuvant Montanide ISA 51VG side effects including Sterile abscesses (“…quite often heal into hardened scar tissue‘).
6. Granulomas (associated with a variety of malignant neoplasms in the following circumstances: Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin T cell lymphomas, seminoma of the testis & ovarian dysgerminoma‘).
7. Muscle indurations (‘hardening of a normally soft tissue or organ, especially the skin, because of inflammation, infiltration of a neoplasm/cancer, or an accumulation of blood.’).
8. Plasma Cell Neoplasia linked to Multiple myeloma (‘A type of cancer that begins in plasma cells – white blood cells that produce antibodies. Also called Kahler disease, myelomatosis, and plasma cell myeloma.’ Estimated new cases and deaths from multiple myeloma in the United States in 2010: New cases: 20,180, Deaths: 10,650′).
8. Ascites – the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, linked to liver disease, cancers, congestive heart failure, or kidney failure (‘The types of cancer that are more likely to cause ascites are cancer of the breast, lung, large bowel, stomach, pancreas, ovary and the lining of the womb‘).
9. Inflammatory lesions (‘At histological examination vaccine preparations – those containing Montanide ISA 51 VG, were shown to induce inflammatory lesions consisting of cysts and granulomas with infiltration of macrophages and plasma cells around them. Some lesions were surrounded by fibrosis.‘).
10. Emulsifier surfactant/disinfectant detergent complications (‘Adverse effects of surfactantinclude apnea or lack of breathing, nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections, and patent ductus arteriosus, an abnormality of the heart‘).

Watch for Me NC
In 2013 the Carrboro Police Department teamed up with Watch For Me NC, a program funded by the University of North Carolina's Traffic Safety Research Center, to promote greater safety for pedestrians and bicycles in the Town of Carrboro. North Carolina has a rate of motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists that is on par with numbers from California, despite having a significantly smaller population. Watch For Me NC has designed programs and initiatives not only to educate drivers of motor vehicles on safer driving practices but also to encourage safer practices among bicyclists and pedestrians.
In our efforts to promote bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle safety the Carrboro Police Department participates in many safety events, meetings, and operations. We work closely with local organizations and businesses to promote safety for all who walk, bike, or drive in the Town of Carrboro.

Duncan Thornton speaks out:
In the Earl Grey community room, Manitoba's highest-profile CCSVI advocate put the kibosh on that tense tug-of-war. "I don't think there's a conspiracy to squelch this,"declared Duncan Thornton, 47, who had a controversial vein-opening treatment at a clinic in Poland while CBC cameras rolled. "(But) it's hard for me to change my mind... (so I think) it's hard for the large mass of the MS establishment to do that too."
Many of the 100 pairs of ears in the Earl Grey room hung on Thornton's words. Minutes after his veins were opened in a $10,000 balloon angioplasty procedure last month, he said, he had warm fingers. Warm toes. And now, more energy than he'd had in almost 25 years. After Thornton finished telling this to the Earl Grey crowd, hands shot up. "Before your treatment, could you stand on that chair the way you're doing?" asked Cathi Sleva, who came to the meeting to support a friend with MS.
"Not without falling over," Thornton said quietly.
Get 'em opened kid! What you waiting for?

Er, well, I'd love to. Right now I'm just watching and hoping it becomes possible. The theory sounds right to me, unlike all the blather in the past. Because of the type I have, there's been nothing (however ineffective) anyway, and due to other complications I wouldn't do well on medication.
This (as I understand it) works for other types than just R/R, and is a fairly simple and repeatable mechanical procedure. If there can be eye surgery clinics that "do" each eye for 1k$ why can't there be clinics addressing this procedure once things are past the testing phase? Big pharma is against it, though, and they have it all bought.

Luo Qi
1960, Hangzhou China
Born in 1960 Hangzhou, Luo Qi is a founder and leading figure of the post-modern calligraphy movement Calligraphyism, formed in Mainland China in the 1980s. This group of Chinese artists attempts to transform Chinese calligraphy into a contemporary idiom, challenging its aesthetic style and semantic function. He graduated from the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou in 1986, having majored in etching, before working as a lecturer at the same academy. In 2001, he won the painting award at the Third Florence International Contemporary Art Biennial. He was also a finalist at The First Ten Years: Chinese Contemporary Art Documentary Exhibition, and won the Contemporary International Art Award at the Fujisan International Ink Painting Exhibition in Japan in 2004. He was appointed Director of the Calligraphy Art Institute in Hangzhou in 2009 and established the Luo Qi International Contemporary Art Museum in Zhejiang in 2013. Lars Berglund writes that the artist “never abandons his heritage in calligraphy and ink painting… he still maintains that the ideas behind his abstract works are purely Chinese.”
He has had numerous major exhibitions across the globe, including in the United States, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, China, and Hong Kong. His work was also included in the important modern calligraphy exhibition Writing Non-writing at the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou in 2015. Alisan Fine Arts held solo exhibitions for Luo Qi in 2004, 2006 and 2009, and exhibited his works in the group show Tracing the Brush: Transformed Text at Ink Asia 2015. His works have been collected by The Rubin-Frankel Gallery, Boston University; Yale University Art Gallery; Cleveland Public Library; University of Genoa; Malmö Modern Art Museum; Lund University, Sweden; National Museum of History and Art, Luxembourg.
