Ross Castle was built in 1590 by Robert Martin whose family was one of the "Tribes" from Galway City.
The building was the first home for any of the Galway tribes outside the walls of the city. As a result it became known as 'The ancient home of the Martins of Ross'. In 1770, the castle interior and roof were destroyed by a fire and there were many alterations made in it's restoration work.
By the time the present owners purchased the castle in 1985, it had fallen into complete ruins and it took 15 years for the restoration of the castle. The castle has now been converted into a hotel where many interesting architectural features can be seen. | {

My first lagers are conditioning in the kegerator. Tomorrow I'm brewing two more. From stuff I have picked up on this forum, beersmith pod casts, and experience I'm trying a few techniques that are new to me.
I washed my yeast from the last two, decanted and pitched in three quart starters. Running the starters in my fermentor freezer at 50 F and they are chugging away.
My American has 9 lbs two row and 2 lbs flaked corn.
Ignoring the grain h2o ratio rule and using as much mash water as will fit. Then just enough sparge to have a 7 gallon boil. Probably will be 6 gallon mash, 3 gallon sparge. Using my uncharted well water for first time ever so I will be testing ph and if needed I'll use some 5.2 but only if way off and only 1/2 tsp.
Trying out FWH this time. Both will get an ounce of northern brewer at FWH. The American gets 2 oz of Mt Hood at flame out and the Bohemian gets two oz of Goldings at flame out.
Over night cold crash at 45 then rack to fermentors, pitch and run at 50 F. OG estimates about 1.050-55 so when they fall below 1.015 I will D rest at 60 until done. Then temp drop 3 deg per day to 35. Leave on yeast till no Acetaldehyde detected.
I knew nothing about lagers until AHA forum. Thanks guys.
^^^^That's fine but you do not have to make starters at lager temps unless you are pitching the entire starter. It's much easier and faster to make at room temp, chill and decant. Any other reason why you are doing this?
Ignoring the grain h2o ratio rule and using as much mash water as will fit. <<<Why? Sounds like a very thin mash. Any particular reason you are doing this?
Boiling 90 min for DMS. Good!
After two weeks at 50 and six days at 60, the American is at 1.010 and the Bohemian is at a whopping 1.004! No diacetyle or Acetaldehyde detected in either sample. Cold crashing now for keg day soon.
That's low for a BoPils. What yeast did you use?
wow, 1.004 with a lb of dextrin malt?! Sounds more like dextrose malt. | {

Hollyweird
A Vast Wasteland
Heavenly Bodies
ELVIS IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS, before he became all fat and bloated from taking too many drugs
Born: January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi
Died (supposedly): August 16, 1977, Memphis, Tennessee
Member of the Silent Generation
Nicknames: The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis the Pelvis
Elvis Presley is one of those artists who is commonly known primarily by his first name. He was truly the world's first superstar (or maybe the second, after Frank Sinatra). During his career, which ran (off and on) from 1954 until his death, he released a total of 111 singles, 33 of which reached #1 on the singles charts. He also released an astounding total of 193 albums, including studio releases, live albums, soundtracks, box sets, and compilations (92 of which came out after his death). He remains the best selling solo artist of all time, and second only to The Beatles for best selling artist overall.
Elvis is the only legitimate choice to occupy the prime spot in the inaugural class of The Skinner Zone Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite the fact that he did not write his own songs (he would be the last major artist to not do so before The Beatles made it an unofficial requirement that future artists create their own material), he made other songwriters' creations his own with his unique and provocative style of performance. During the mid to late 1950s, he drove everybody crazy. He drove the older G.I. Generation into a frenzy by swiveling his hips when he performed, which created a big scandal in the culturally conservative Fifties. He drove the younger Silent and Boom Generations into a frenzy by swiveling his hips when he performed, which created a lot of sexual tension in the female portion of such generations and sparked a spirit of rebellion amongst the male portion thereof. To put it another way, the older generation considered the coming of Elvis to mark the end of Western Civilization, while their kids just ate it up. One uptight Catholic wrote a letter to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in 1956, complaining that Elvis was a threat to America's national security because, amongst other things, he autographed the abdomen of one high school girl and the thigh of another.
The first phase of Elvis' career came to an end just two years after the release of his first record, "Heartbreak Hotel," when he was drafted. He spent the next two years in the Army, during which he was stationed in West Germany. Although he "banked" a lot of records which were released at regular intervals while he was in the Service, his career went into decline. Rock and Roll itself went into a decline of sorts, as the energetic music of Elvis and his contemporaries was replaced by the softer sound of crooners like Bobby Vee, the Four Preps, the Dixie Cups, and other purveyors of early 1960s schlock. It was also during this time that Phil Spector began to inflict his Girl Group crap upon the record-buying public, his first cultural crime against humanity.
JAILHOUSE ROCK, released in 1957, showcased Elvis at his cinematic best. Most of his future movies were not so great
Of course, Elvis resumed his career upon being discharged from the Army. However, it wasn't quite the same. Although he continued to record and release records, many of which were as good as those he released from 1956-58, his main focus became motion pictures. He starred in a number of mostly forgettable films during the 1960s, the quality of which decreased over time. The quality of the music in most of these films was also problematic at best. His low point came in 1967, when most serious music lovers considered him to be a joke and a has-been.
The following year, Elvis reinvented himself with his '68 Comeback Special, which was broadcast on television in December. This was a roaring success; Elvis was back in the building. In an interesting coincidence, Elvis' career had originally gone into decline while The Beatles were beginning to make it big, while his comeback came at the time they were beginning to fall apart as a group. From the late 1960s and into the early '70s, Elvis released a number of recordings, many of which ranked up there with the best from his earlier career. "If I Can Dream" led the way, followed by "Suspicious Minds," "In the Ghetto," "Burning Love," "My Way" (also recorded by Frank Sinatra during this period), and others. He began touring again, and once more performed in sold-out venues.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE KING - Richard Nixon shaking hands with Elvis at the White House, 1970
One of the most bizarre episodes in American political history took place in 1970, when Elvis met with President Nixon at the White House. He was trying to get Nixon to appoint him as a "Junior G-Man," so that he could have an official badge to add to his collection. He painted a picture of himself to the president as a patriotic American who felt disdain for hippies, the drug culture of the 1960s, and the counterculture that had arisen over the past several years. He warned Nixon about The Beatles, claiming that they were an example of anti-Americanism. This was rather odd, considering the fact that he regularly performed their songs in concert. He also criticized their drug abuse, which was ironic when you consider that drugs were the major cause of his own final decline and death.
FORESHADOWING MICHAEL JACKSON - Elvis in concert, wearing one of his outlandish outfits
The final decline of Elvis Presley began in 1973, when his divorce from his wife, Priscilla, became final. His health began to fail as he became addicted to various prescription drugs. In addition, he became obese, which led to a plethora of "Fat Elvis" jokes that would become a staple for many a stand-up comic as time marched on. The end came on August 16, 1977, when he was found dead in his bathroom. Elvis had now left the planet.
Or had he? Many people believe, with some justification, that Elvis didn't really die. There is a school of thought that holds that he left Memphis and embarked upon yet another career, when he took to working as a clerk at 7-Eleven stores all across America. Numerous Elvis sightings have confirmed this to be the case. In fact, 7-Eleven owes its status as the number one convenience store chain in the world to the hordes of shoppers who go there, hoping to buy a Slurpee from The King.
Elvis continues to live on in spirit as well, as his legacy has only increased since he faked his death. He still sells tons of records every year, and will retain his status as a pop culture icon for generations to come. In addition, he has created an entire industry of Elvis impersonators, many of whom make a decent living by dressing up and performing as The King, complete with sequined suit, sunglasses, tight leather pants, and hips that swivel. | {

Girls' Basketball dunks into a new season
By Mae Castellano
With an hour and a half practices, the Girls' Basketball team is preparing for the upcoming season. The team does defensive drills like shells, basic skills such as layups, and conditions regularly.
"Conditioning is done on a daily basis because we always run several liners throughout practice," provided JV Center Aliyah Davis. The team goes to the weight room every Saturday as well for additional training.
"We went to CCS (Central Coast Section)," claimed Varsity Point Guard Katie Yamashita. "I think we got out in the second round, but it was still a really big accomplishment."
For this upcoming season, some of the girls have hopes to be undefeated. With the practices preparing the team for season, Yamashita thinks starting off with more warm-ups rather than getting straight into the defensive drills would improve their skills.
The team, however, is supportive and happy; there's no negativity within the team.
"I think we have good teamwork because we're all friends," stated JV Power Forward Tasha Nguyen. The girls have a close relationship with each other, and there's strong teamwork between them. "I think we have all around great players," Nguyen continued.
"I'm expecting to grow, get better as a team, have fun, and win!" exclaimed Davis. She shares this similar idea with Nguyen who is expecting growth and improvement within the team.
Although the team did lose six starting seniors from last year, the team seems to be improving and working better as a whole.
"The games are pretty intense on and off the court," commented Nguyen. They also generally turn out fun for the team as well.

The central objective of this article is to trace the ideological background of the frequent exclusion of the Serbian minority in Croatia from Croatian history books. Croatian avoidance or non-recognition of its Serbian history is sought-after in relation to the development of the Croatian state-nation ideology in the nineteenth century. In tracking the ideological background for exclusion the explanations appear not to be purely local ones, but to be closely linked to developments of nineteenth-century European nationalism and national ideologies. This paper analyzes some key modern historical events and processes that have influenced the relationship between Croats and Serbs in Croatia. The topic is exemplified through examination of history textbooks for high schools in Croatia. The article suggests strategies to support for achieving inclusion and identifies the main obstacles in this regard, but methodologically it concentrates on bringing about awareness of the background of exclusion as a necessary step in fostering inclusion. | {

If you have a baby or are planning to start a family, it's pretty important to you to find out if New Jersey is a good place to have a baby.
That is the question that Wallet Hub set out to answer for every state in the nation. In a recent study, they compared 26 key factors and ranked each state and the District of Columbia from worst to first.
So how did New Jersey do? We actually didn't do badly, ranking 20th best overall. We had some really good rankings in specific areas as well, specifically in the category of 'lowest infant mortality rate', where the Garden State ranked 4th lowest.
New Jersey also did well in another category. When it came to 'family friendliness' we ranked #12 in America. We also ranked 16th best in America in the 'baby friendliness' category.
You can get all the details of this study at Wallet Hub. | {

Houston's 5 Best Weekend Food Bets: Get Free Breakfast Tacos
Inside The Glass: Evan Turner
That's Rich
Katharine Shilcutt
Katharine Shilcutt | September 28, 2011 | 4:00am
To see more photos from Brasserie 19's small but efficient kitchen, check out our slideshow.
The dining room at Brasserie 19 on a Saturday night might be the loudest spot in the city that offers a veal porterhouse on its menu. But it's a beguiling sort of loudness, a raucously mirthful atmosphere that signals Brasserie's status as Houston's new playground for the rich and nouveau riche alike.
On one of those recent weekend nights, my dining companions and I sat captivated on Brasserie's breezy patio, mesmerized by the parade of wealth that swished past us: an older gentleman in a purple suede suit with an extremely young woman on his arm; another man — this one enjoying a birthday dinner — being presented with a 1960s-era Playboy in its original packaging, then tearing it open like a schoolboy; a fleet of cars with exotic names like Bugatti and Maserati and Bentley. As the evening wore on into the night, the birthday boy grabbed pieces of bread from the table and held them to his head like a bull, making a show of snorting and thrusting his head forward, the cones of bread leading the way.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

SLIDESHOW: French Nouveau at Brasserie 19
BLOG POST: Waiter, This Soup Is [Supposed to Be] Cold
"That guy is making bread horns," said one of my dining companions with a wry laugh. Indeed, Brasserie 19 is the kind of place where you can make bread horns if you want to. The restaurant has an almost hyper-indulgent policy toward its diners, rare in a time when service suffers so regularly elsewhere — at upscale restaurants and otherwise.
During one recent dinner, I couldn't decide between the young roasted hen or the pan-roasted duck with figs. I'm glad I asked for a recommendation from the kitchen, who quickly encouraged me to order the duck, because it turns out that the young roasted hen part is misleading if you — like me — were expecting a plump little poussin with golden skin on your plate.
It turns out that the kitchen actually had stopped serving whole roasted hen, replacing it with a chicken breast, as too many diners were complaining of having to cut the meat off the bone. The blushing, medium-rare duck I ordered instead was entirely excellent, although I had to wonder at just how far Grant Cooper and Charles Clark are willing to let that hyper-indulgence extend. Will it eventually infect every item on their solid, well-constructed menu? I hope not.
Yet I can't count the number of stories I've heard of diners here sending back a beautiful piece of foie gras because it was too fatty, or because the foods on their plate were touching. I've witnessed it firsthand, too, when a man returned his expertly cooked red snapper for being "too rare." My friend and I sighed in disbelief as we watched it go.
"That fish was perfect," she despaired. And so is all of Brasserie 19's cooking, almost flawlessly so. I have yet to have a bad meal here. I have yet to even have a meal that I would consider just okay. Perhaps because of the impossibly high standards that the restaurant's clientele places upon the kitchen — or maybe in spite of them — the food at Brasserie 19 is among the best and most skillfully executed in the city right now.
And that's no small feat, considering the restaurant's tumultuous beginnings. It cycled through two chefs in quick succession, one of whom barely lasted two weeks, before leaving the kitchen captainless for a significant period of time. It was up to young sous chef Amanda McGraw to keep things running in the absence of an executive chef, and she did so admirably until Mark Schmidt came along a month ago, hired away from his executive chef position at Rainbow Lodge.
When I saw McGraw a couple of weeks ago, I asked her how the transition had been so far. She seemed genuinely relieved to have Schmidt at the helm, remarking of her new boss: "He hasn't come in and changed anything up yet. He's just observing." A smart move on behalf of Schmidt, and one that I hope marks the beginning of a fruitful partnership here.
As its name would imply, Brasserie 19 focuses on traditional brasserie fare, things like steak frites, cassoulet, oysters and glorious pints of beer. If these rustic, often heavy dishes seem antithetical to the masses of trim, well-dressed socialites that populate the place, well...someone forgot to tell them.
It's for the best, really: The substantial food (in substantial portions, too) attracts all kinds, and its price points — while on the hefty side — are egalitarian enough to make Houston restaurateurs Grant Cooper and Charles Clark's latest restaurant a smashing success all the way around, joining the ranks of their fellow restaurants Ibiza, the late Catalan and the brash new Coppa.
The service is equally egalitarian here. And while you instantly know your place in Houston's grand social firmament based upon where you're seated (the tables closest to the front window are prime real estate — forget about sitting there — while the bar is the domain of pretty singles on the prowl), the treatment you receive while dining at Brasserie 19 never reveals otherwise. I've heard complaints that the restaurant is too heavily staffed at lunch, which I tend to agree with: The waitstaff clumps in herds near the front hostess station/bridge of the ship during lunch service, texting and chattering above you while you eat. But at dinner, that surfeit of waitstaff functions to make it seem as though you are the only table in the restaurant, or at least the only one that matters.
Whether you go for lunch or dinner, however, Brasserie 19 impresses at every service. At lunch, the decibel level in the restaurant dims considerably, while light floods the sunny space. It looks every bit the modern brasserie at these times, sunlight glinting off polished brass details on the bar and peeking through the white wicker chairs.
You can see the palm trees lining West Gray from the massive plate-glass window that dominates the front of the restaurant, and appreciate the art deco lines of the River Oaks Shopping Center, as cool and crisp as the brasserie itself. At the table next to us, a Frenchman was dining alone and languidly reading a newspaper. "You don't even feel like you're in Houston," sighed my dining companion, who seemed to be dreaming of her beloved brasseries back in France.
That same sense of vacationing for a meal was palpable at Tony Mandola's, the cozy and well-respected restaurant that occupied this space for 22 years until decamping to nearby Waugh Drive to open a free-standing restaurant earlier this year. Losing the New Orleanian restaurant was seen as a blow for the old shopping center, and Brasserie 19 was met with eager excitement when it opened in May of this year. Would it stand up to Tony Mandola's? So far, the answer seems to be a strong yes.
During lunch, we all but inhaled a platter of delicate, briny East Coast oysters, washed down with a hoppy Modus Hoperandi IPA. Brasserie 19 has a beer menu to match its wine list blow for blow, with Belgian classics like Saison Dupont and Blanche de Bruxelles holding court among craft brews like North Coast PranQster and the mighty Arrogant Bastard Ale.
My friend's croque madame was a crusty beast of a sandwich, covered in melting Gruyère and a rich Béchamel sauce that nearly made the fried egg on top obsolete. I appreciated that her frites were truly frites, skin-on and fried twice, served — without asking! — with a tangy mayonnaise.
The polar opposite of her meal, my plate featured a simple tuna sandwich whose unfussy construction belied the effort and skill that had gone into poaching the tuna in olive oil until impossibly moist and in need of no additional mayonnaise or mustard. On the side was a quinoa salad — a pleasant surprise, given it wasn't listed on the menu — that balanced the nutty seeds with peppery bites of arugula and a bright citrus vinaigrette.
We lingered far too long over our lunch, finally tearing ourselves away after two hours. It was difficult to leave that day, not only because the food had been so good, but the atmosphere itself is almost too inviting. I've experienced that feeling every time I've dined at Brasserie 19 — especially on the patio. It may not be prime real estate for the elite, but it's a front-row show for me with an added one-two bonus: It's never noisy out there, and although reservations are required to get a seat inside at night, you can usually find an open table on the patio if you can't resist the urge to drop by and see what specials Schmidt and McGraw have cooked up for the night.
On that wild Saturday night, our waiter couldn't have been more charming despite the fact that the brasserie must have done 400 covers in one service. My friends and I took forever to make up our minds, and he never once rushed us, but instead stood patiently and guided us through the restaurant's immense wine list with aplomb. Any questions he couldn't answer were quickly remedied by a consultation with the bar manager (whom I appreciate the restaurant doesn't mistakenly call a "sommelier"), making for one of the most pleasant nights of service I've experienced in a long time.
The cocktails — while pricey — were well-constructed, solid drinks: a pair of French 75s that glittered in champagne flutes and a rosy gin drink with Chambord that was surprisingly easy on the sugar. Our first wine selection was depleted, but our waiter was quick to suggest two Evening Land alternatives — both well within our initial price range and smartly chosen based on our initial request of an American Pinot Noir from the Northwest.
A special that evening — gleaned from the restaurant's smartly maintained Twitter account — of a foie gras terrine was well-received by my table. We polished it off as quickly as we did an appetizer of charred baby octopus with soft fingerling potatoes and a bright, invigorating salsa verde. Not everything here is dogmatically French, which I appreciate — especially when used in clever combinations like this. We were only slightly disappointed in the local chèvre ravioli, albeit not because it wasn't tasty; it was simply far too small to split the one raviolo between three people, and didn't live up to its $13 price tag.
Later in the evening, after I'd ordered my entrée — the Saturday special of milk-braised pork shoulder with corn pudding — the general manager came over to apologize profusely: The kitchen had run out of pork chops, he explained, while cupping a massive portion of plastic-wrapped raw meat in one hand.
"We can't count," he half-laughed. "But I'd love to offer you this veal porterhouse instead."
The three of us stared, slack-jawed and silent, from our table. This was a $50 piece of meat, "on sale" for only $24. We couldn't believe our dumb luck.
"We wouldn't charge you for it, of course," the manager continued, mistaking our awed silence for indecisiveness. "It would be the same price as the pork chop."
Fifteen short minutes later, that luscious porterhouse was on my plate and quickly devoured by our table, as fine a tribute to baby cow as any I'd eaten. My only complaint: I'd left the temperature of the meat to the kitchen, which cooked it to a medium-well. It's not their fault, though; after receiving so many returned dishes of medium-rare snapper or steak, wouldn't you cook the veal through, too?
But if these scant few flaws are the only ones I can find with Brasserie 19, I'd say the River Oaks Shopping Center has found the staple restaurant it needed to replace Tony Mandola's, one that will likely become a classic itself in time.

← Where Have I Been?
Discovering Pet Sounds
Posted on August 13, 2017 by JeffAugust 13, 2017
I grew up in a house with a musician but music was never a huge part of my life. My father played trumpet in a jazz band and I was always around musical people but I never really connected with music and it was never a real presence in my house. My parent's would listen to the local pop radio station or, more likely, whatever station was playing the classics. I don't really remember much other than maybe some stuff dad was working on for some of the shows he did but my musical experience for most of my life was pretty minimal. That probably explains why I don't really connect with music today. With that in mind, it should come to no surprise that I never had any respect for The Beach Boys. It took about 40 years for that opinion to change.
Growing up I could probably recognize The Beach Boys songs just because those early, surf songs are part of our cultural consciousness. I can't say I ever thought of the music as interesting or important. I was raised under the mythology of The Beatles. The narrative behind The Beatles is that they are the most influential rock band ever and that may be true. The Beach Boys were always that unoffensive music that is played between bands at the county festival or while playing musical chairs at school or things like that. What I remember of The Beach Boys was seeing them play a concert after a local AAA Baseball game back in the late 80s or early 90s. To me it was always outdated music from a different time. Certainly not anything of value for a kid coming of age in the time of "grunge"
By around 1995 I was well into my study of history in college. I had a professor that had done a lot of work in the history of sound and recording and during one of his classes he mentioned The Beach Boys and Pet Sounds and how that album in particular was extremely influential and important to the history of music. I didn't understand that at all but I also didn't forget it. I had never heard of Pet Sounds but I respected him enough to file the information away for later use. As time when on I started to pick up other bits of information that kept pointing back to this album as something special. I never actually bothered to listen to it but I began to realize there was a certain reverence for the album and it was especially strong with people who knew what they were talking about. Since I still didn't really care about the guys that made "Kokomo" I just assumed it was old people pining away about the music of their youth but the idea that Pet Sounds was never completely forgotten.
Cut to around 1998 and I started listening to Barenaked Ladies. Not exactly a titanic musical force but I found a bit of a geeky kindred spirit in some of their songs and they are a band that my wife and I both enjoy which is pretty rare in our relationship. It was then that I discovered their song "Brian Wilson". This just added to the mystery of the myth of Brian Wilson that had been growing in my head since that time in college. The song inspired me to find out more about Wilson and I read about his life and his struggles and while that filled in some gaps for me I still never picked up Pet Sounds. I found out what I needed to know to understand the song and then continued on my way, always remembering what my history professor said about the album but never going so far as to seek it out.
Ten years later I started collecting comics again, which you can read about in another post, and soon after I began to listen to podcasts and, more specifically, comic book related podcasts. My favorite podcast even to this day was and is iFanboy. One of the hosts, Josh Flanagan, is a fan of the album and would mention it on occasion. I honestly don't remember exactly when it came up on the show but there must have been a bit of a discussion of the album in the later months of 2015 or the early months of 2016 because it coincided with another event and that was Christmas of 2015. My wife is a big John Cusak fan and I have been buying her one of his movies every Christmas for most of our relationship. It is just a tradition and for Christmas 2015 I believe the film was Love and Mercy. To be honest, I didn't know much about it but it was available on the shelf at Best Buy and it had Paul Dano. I really liked Dano in There Will Be Blood. The movie seemed like a good choice and it knocked one off of my list so I bought it. We watched the film a few days after Christmas and that is really when I started to understand what was going on with Pet Sounds. 20 years after my professor at UAB mentioned the album I finally took the opportunity to listen to it for the first time. Since then the album and, more specifically, the recording of the album has come to intrigue and fascinate me and I have been inspired to learn as much as I can about those recording sessions and the history of The Beach Boys.
After the film I found a video on Netflix about the session musicians that helped craft the sound of the album, and a lot of other music of the time. The Wrecking Crew story in itself is fascinating but how they embraced Wilson and what he was working to create is really the story of legend. Pet Sounds is a special album and Wilson is a genius but it never could have been realized without these guys.
I have kept up researching The Beach Boys and the history of the band is one hell of story. Particularly intriguing is what happened when Brian stopped touring and how we basically ended up with the music that Brian created and this weird nostalgia act made of of some of the remaining members. The Beach Boy story even has a classic "villian" in front-man(?) Mike Love. One one hand you have a genius musician, producer and composer who loses control of himself and is subject to the whims of the people around him and on the other you have friend, cousin and band-mate who desperately craves the attention and fame that Wilson's genius brought to the rest of the band but doesn't have any of the talent to make it happen for himself and resorts to legal wrangling to keep the brand image of the band alive. Riveting stuff even if you don't appreciate the music.
Most recently I watched a two part documentary on Wilson and it really goes into depth on the history of the band and particularly Wilson's songwriting prowess. Both parts are available on YouTube and the first is shown below.
So after all of this, do I like Pet Sounds? That is a tough one. To be honest, it really doesn't do much for me on a pure enjoyment level. I have come to appreciate the craftsmanship and work that went into the recording. I have an understanding on how it influenced other bands like The Beatles and pushed more complex composition into the recording of Rock-and-Roll and popular music. I even really dig a few of the tracks. As a whole, however, it isn't really for me. I can't really articulate why and anything I say will do the album a disservice both because my understanding of music is fairly limited and history has already proven that it is one of the great albums of all time but it isn't something I would ever long to hear. It would not be on my "desert island" list. Even still, I remain fascinated by the story of the making of Pet Sounds and the life of Brian Wilson. If you are kind of like I was 20 years ago and see The Beach Boys as a bubble gum boy band from the 60s then I really suggest you take some time and learn a little more. Start with Love and Mercy and continue your journey of discover from there. It is worth the trip.

Detroit People's Platform and Storehouse of Hope Community Land Trust are teaming up to purchase occupied homes in the auction and secure them permanently in a Community Land Trust (CLT) so families can stay in their homes and we can ensure that these properties remain permanently the off marketplace and out of the hands of speculators. Families participating in the program have been connected through the United Community Housing Coalition. UCHC provides free housing resources for low and no-income Detroiters.
We've reached a vital moment where we can beat the auction at its own game and buy land to 1) keep families housed and 2) place more homes in a community land trust that will ensure these homes remain permanently affordable and safe from speculation.
How It Works: The money we raise will be used to keep Detroit families in their homes. Many occupied homes were purchased last year for as little as $1,700—you can see how much impact each dollar you donate will have. All additional funds raised beyond the cost of purchase will go into repairs to the home and paying 2015 taxes.
We have the the opportunity to keep Detroit families in their houses. But we only have 10 days to do it. | {

Bigger Assets, Better Leverage
How two brothers' quest to live rent-free led to the founding of the Skyline Group of Companies, a business now worth more than $1.6 billion
By Julie Schaeffer
Named one of Canada's 40 most promising entrepreneurs by the prestigious Ivey Business School, CEO Jason Castellan spends his days working conceptually, which is why he turns to manual labour in his free time. Castellan lives on a farm in rural Guelph, ON, and enjoys spending his weekends chopping wood and tending to the animals with his kids. "It keeps me grounded," he says.
It all started in 1991, when University of Guelph student Jason Castellan and his brother, Martin, were just trying to make a little extra money through property ownership. Twenty-three years later, Castellan is CEO of the Skyline Group of Companies, which oversees three real estate investment trusts (REITs) valued at more than $1.6 billion. Here, in numbers, is how he and his partners made it happen.
2 brothers
The Castellans started slowly. After renting for one semester in university, they bought a small house with their father's help, living in the basement while renting the upstairs to three roommates. Then, when the house across the street came up for sale, they decided to repeat the process.
Seeing the benefits of an income stream, the brothers decided to broaden their scope and teamed up with another friend, Roy Jason Ashdown. Together, they did some "market research," which wasn't hard, given their university's nightlife. "Going to keg parties from Thursday to Sunday, we saw a lot of houses," Castellan says. "And the first thing we'd ask was, 'How much do you pay in rent, and what does it include?'"
Within three years, the trio had purchased 52 houses with money provided by family and friends. "Marty, Roy, and I were the sweat; other people were the equity," Castellan says.
In 1997, the trio purchased a small building, which showed them the benefits of bigger assets. "There's a lot of leverage," Castellan says. "You only have to mow one lawn, fix one roof, repair one furnace, and you can hire on-site staff to do it." The problem was, bigger buildings required bigger down payments, and the friend-and-family equity pool was exhausted. "When you've tapped all of your uncles and aunts and in-laws for down payments, what do you do?" Castellan says.
Realizing they'd need to bring on more and more investors, the Castellans and Ashdown officially created Skyline in a one-bedroom (and no-bathroom) office in 1999. In the early days, raising capital was challenging: "People didn't know our name, so they had no reason to trust us," Castellan says.
16 holding companies
The Castellans and Ashdown persevered, however, and from 1999 to 2005, Skyline's business model involved syndicating apartments. "We created a holding company that had a specific group of investors and properties and then did another and another and another, ending up with 16 companies in 2005," Castellan says.
The problem was, Skyline couldn't take money from one holding company to improve another or buy a new property across town. So, in 2006, Skyline amalgamated the holding companies and launched an REIT, which allowed it to add buildings and investors seamlessly without creating stand-alone corporations. "It gave us the platform to grow indefinitely," Castellan says, and grow the apartment REIT did—from $83 million in 2006 to $1.1 billion in 2014.
The downturn of 2008
Skyline sailed through the housing-market downturn that began around 2008. "We braced ourselves for challenging times, but the opposite occurred," Castellan says. "On the property side, there was no impact because the housing market tanking in the United States didn't mean our tenants in Ontario stopped paying rent; the housing-market meltdown was a Wall Street issue, and our business is Main Street. And on the investor side, the impact was positive. People were rattled by the volatility in the public markets, and we were an alternative option."
2 more REITs
Building on the success of its apartment REIT, Skyline added commercial and retail REITs in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Today, the three Skyline REITs have more than $1.6 billion in assets under management, and Castellan expects that number to reach $2 billion in 2015. Despite its success, however, the company won't be going public anytime soon. "Staying private was one of the smartest decisions we've ever made," Castellan says. "We are approached regularly by investment bankers wanting to take us public so [that] they can raise equity for us, but we don't need their equity. We have a waiting list of our own investors wanting to get in."
500 staff and growing
Since the three-man show that the Castellan brothers and Ashdown started with in 1999, Skyline has ballooned to more than 500 staff, and it's still expanding. "Not one of us alone could have achieved the success we have had so far," Castellan says. "It will undoubtedly accelerate as we continue to add valuable people to our existing team, who will be propelled themselves by the culture and infrastructure that is Skyline."

WHAT? Now Hillary Clinton Wants To Be A Pastor?
Michael Snyder August 9, 2017
How would you feel if you went to church next Sunday and "Pastor Hillary Clinton" got up to deliver the message?
According to Clinton's longtime pastor, Hillary says that she wants to start preaching.
Considering the fact that she stands in direct opposition to just about everything that the Bible says, it is hard to imagine her doing this with a straight face.
Bill and Hillary Clinton have been fueling anger and hatred toward conservative Christians for decades, but now she is suddenly going to turn over a new leaf?
If Clinton announced that she had decided to denounce abortion then she would definitely get my attention, but at this point, this just seems like another Clinton political stunt.
Earlier today when I came across an article published by the Atlantic entitled "Hillary Wants To Preach", I was tempted to dismiss it as some of that "fake news" that we have been hearing so much about lately.
But it turns out that this story is actually true…
Hillary Clinton wants to preach.
That's what she told Bill Shillady, her longtime pastor, at a recent photo shoot for his new book about the daily devotionals he sent her during the 2016 campaign.
Scattered bits of reporting suggest that ministry has always been a secret dream of the two-time presidential candidate: Last fall, the former Newsweek editor Kenneth Woodward revealed that Clinton told him in 1994 that she thought "all the time" about becoming an ordained Methodist minister. She asked him not to write about it, though: "It will make me seem much too pious."
The incident perfectly captures Clinton's long campaign to modulate—and sometimes obscure—expressions of her faith.
For Clinton, this would be yet another very unusual chapter in a very strange religious journey.
She has always claimed to be a "Christian", but it is also important to remember that in college she did her senior thesis on a radical leftist that dedicated his book to Lucifer…
In 1993, the president of Wellesley College approved a new rule that all senior theses written by a president or first lady of the United States would be kept under lock and key, a move aimed at preventing the public from learning about their new First Lady.
After the Clintons left the White House, however, Hillary's senior thesis was released to the public – a 92 page homage to radical leftist Saul Alinsky, who dedicated his book to Lucifer.
And back in 2015, Clinton delivered a speech in which she insisted that "religious beliefs" that do not conform to her progressive agenda "have to be changed"…
"All the laws we've passed don't count for much if they're not enforced.
Rights have to exist in practice, not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will.
And deep seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed."
Hillary Clinton is not interested in the God of the Bible or in living the way that the Bible actually intends for us to live.
Clinton and her husband have been promoting just about every form of evil imaginable for decades, but that won't matter to many people.
If Hillary wants to preach, many on the left will be absolutely thrilled…
"Given her depth of knowledge of the Bible and her experience of caring for people and loving people, she'd make a great pastor," Shillady told me.
No, she probably won't go to seminary, he said.
No, she probably won't pursue an official lay position in the Methodist church, like deaconess.
(I reached out to Clinton's spokespeople for comment, but didn't hear back.)
"I think it would be more of … her guest preaching at some point," he said. "We have a long history of lay preachers in the United Methodist Church."
Since the election, "I think her faith is stronger," Shillady added.
"I haven't noticed anything different, except that I think she is more relaxed than I've ever seen her."
Maybe after all these years of hard-scrabble politics, Clinton is finally becoming a more straightforward version of herself: a woman whose fondest ambition is teaching scripture in church.
I am just glad that she isn't in the White House.
If she had won the 2016 election, things would have gone very badly for extremely outspoken conservatives like me.
As I keep saying, our nation is in the midst of a cultural war.
If the left ultimately wins, they plan to do whatever they can to criminalize our way of thinking.
And I am not the only one that is warning about this.
For example, just consider what Newt Gingrich had to say about this recently…
"Remember: There are a lot of people on the other side, including in the elite news media, who deeply, deeply want President Trump to fail," he warned, "who deeply want our values to be wiped out by making them, frankly, illegal, and who are deeply committed to changing America in ways that would turn it into a country you and I would have no real knowledge of and no understanding of."
In an America where the political and cultural divisions seem to be widening, Gingrich pointed out Trump can make a real difference.
"He's clearly committed to breaking up political correctness," the former Georgia representative said.
"He's clearly committed to advocating the kind of future that we want for our children and our grandchildren."
I wrote quite a bit about this cultural war in my brand new book entitled "Living A Life That Really Matters".
It is my most important book yet, and just today I had someone tell me how it had deeply affected them.
The truth matters and many on the left are trying very hard to convince us that right is wrong and that wrong is right.
If Hillary Clinton wants to "preach", she certainly has the right to do so.
But in the end, her side is not going to win.
No matter how hard the left tries to twist and distort the Bible, the plain meaning of the Scriptures is there for everyone to see.
The Bible has been changing hearts and minds all over the planet for centuries, and nothing is going to change that.
And Hillary Clinton better be careful, because if she starts reading the Bible too much it might end up changing her heart too…

Abstract: Predictive maintenance (PdM) is a prevailing maintenance strategy that aims to minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and increase machine reliability. With the huge data availability in the era of Industry 4.0, data-driven predictive maintenance leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and historical data to forecast potential machine failure, enabling accurate in-advance maintenance schedules based on the machine condition. Recently, deep learning has shown widely acclaimed potential for data-driven predictive maintenance tasks. Nevertheless, deep learning only performs well under two main assumptions: (1) the availability of vast amounts of labeled data; (2) the training phase and deployment phase share the same data distribution or working condition. These constraints can significantly hinder the deep learning applicability to real-world environments. On the one hand, data labeling and annotation can be very laborious tasks, especially for sensor data that encompass complex underlying patterns. Furthermore, running to failure for vast and sophisticated machines can be costly and cause catastrophic consequences. This imposes an additional challenge on obtaining labeled data that identify the health status of the machine. On the other hand, under the premise of the real-world manufacturing environment, variation in working environments is inevitable. This can yield different sensor readings across the working environments even for the same industrial asset. As a result, the data generated from each working condition may have different statistics (i.e., distributions). Under those circumstances, a model that performs well under one working condition performs poorly when tested on data from different working conditions. Therefore, there is a need for more practical deep learning approaches that can handle the aforementioned limitations. This thesis aims to develop robust and generalizable deep learning approaches that can work under real-world environments i.e., variability of working conditions and lack of labeled data. The focus of this thesis is on two main tasks of predictive maintenance: fault diagnosis and fault prognosis (i.e., Remaining Useful Life Estimation (RUL)) tasks. The thesis' contributions are structured according to the predictive maintenance tasks. Part I includes two pieces of work to address the real-world challenges of the remaining useful life estimation task. First, an attention-based sequence-to-sequence model is proposed to exploit historical information better, improving robustness and generalization across different industrial assets. Second, a novel contrastive adversarial domain adaptation (CADA) approach is proposed to address the lack of labeled data coupled with the variability of working conditions. The proposed approach aims to transfer the knowledge learned from one labeled operating condition (source domain) to another operating condition (target domain) with no available labels while preserving the target-specific information during the adaptation process. Part II focuses on the fault diagnosis task and includes three pieces of work that have been developed to address the limitations of deep learning in real-world environments. The thesis first proposes a novel Self-supervised Autoregressive Domain Adaptation (SLARDA) to address the lack of labeled data while explicitly considering the dynamics of time series data during both feature learning and domain alignment. Subsequently, towards a more scalable domain adaptation approach, a novel adversarial multiple domain adaptation (AMDA) method for single-source multiple targets (1SmT) is proposed to handle multiple unlabeled working conditions concurrently. Last, unlike previous domain adaptation approaches that assume access to unlabeled data from the target working condition, a novel contrastive domain generalization (CDG) is designed to generalize to unseen working conditions with no prior data available. The main goal of this thesis is to pave the way for deep learning in real-world environments, towards practical data-driven predictive maintenance. Despite the significant thesis's contributions, there remain some obstacles that hinder the applicability of data-driven predictive maintenance. These obstacles have been regarded in the future works of the presented thesis, which can be briefed as follows: considering the class-label shifts across different working environments; (2) quantifying the uncertainty of the proposed data-driven approaches; (3) realizing explainable deep learning approach that can provide reasons behind the decisions and give descriptions to the end-users.

Dark rum and coriander add a surprising Caribbean flair to these slice-and-bake cookies.
Combine first 8 ingredients; stir well. Beat butter in a large bowl at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add egg, beating until blended. Stir in rum. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Cover and chill dough 45 minutes.
Shape dough into a 13" log on wax paper; wrap and freeze log 1 hour or until firm.
Cut frozen log into 1/4" slices, and place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. | {

Li Jiang is a Ph.D. Candidate in Architectural Engineering at Penn State. Li Jiang's research focuses primarily on improving consistency, efficiency, and value of the existing constructability review process. Her research question addresses her desire to discover the process changes due to integrated design methods and tools, such as the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Rather than the existing manual process, the application of BIM and rule-based approach enables an automated constructability checking of a design model, with visual representation and rapid feedback. The benefit of this shift is to minimize the time and effort in a design review by a reliable, consistent computer-based checking, and to proactively push construction feedback to early design stages for more integrated decision-making.
Jennifer Lather is pursuing her Master's in Architectural Engineering at Penn State, with a specialty in understanding interactive workspaces. Her research interests include collaborative processes for integrating design, technology and media-enabled spaces, and visualization research. Currently, Lather is investigating interactive workspaces that support the convergence of expertise from multi-disciplinary team members. The emergence of these technology-enabled spaces bring into question the alignment of goals and technology, the appropriate features to support specific activities, and appropriate timing within the design-delivery process. The aim of Lather's research is to understand these spaces and begin to link their technical components and feature-sets to their usages within the AEC design and delivery process.
Jean Laurent is a Master student in the Department of Architectural Engineering at Penn State. Jean's research interests are on the development of an approach to manage the distribution of leadership and cross-functional interactions found in integrated project teams.

Alan Stanley Jones MBE (born 2 November 1946 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), is a former racing driver who won the World Championship in 1980. He drove for Hesketh, Hill, Surtees, Shadow, Williams, Arrows and Lola during his career.
The son of racing driver Stan Jones, Alan got an early start in motorsport but due to a lack of finance, saw his progress up the ranks to be quite slow. He finally reached Formula Three aged 24 in 1971, and eventually made his F1 début, aged 28, at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix for Hesketh. After a few races, Jones moved to Graham Hill's team to replace the injured Rolf Stommelen, scoring his first points with fifth place in Germany.
In 1976, Jones moved to the team of another Champion of the 1960s, John Surtees. Jones managed three point-scoring finishes, including fourth at the Japanese Grand Prix. The next year, after originally declining an F1 seat, he joined Shadow replacing the late Tom Pryce. In a breakthrough season, Jones scored his first victory at the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix and a third place at Italy, both after starting from the middle of the grid.
Changing teams once again, for 1978 Jones originally signed a deal with Ferrari, but with a clause allowing the Italian team to replace him with a North American driver, and when Gilles Villeneuve came into the picture, Jones was out. This lead Jones to become the sole driver for Frank Williams' latest venture. For a new team, the car performed well, with Jones scoring a podium for second place at Watkins Glen at the penultimate race. Continuous improvement was made heading into 1979. After a slow start to the season, Williams became one of the front runners in the second half of the year. Jones took four wins, maximising his points total for the second half of the season, and claiming third in the title race. Jones also took victory in the Gunnar Nilsson Memorial Trophy.
1980 turned out to be an excellent year for Jones. Starting with a victory in Argentina, Jones took five total wins (also including the final two races) and five other podiums to become F1 World Champion by a margin of thirteen points over Nelson Piquet, taking a commanding title lead in the penultimate race. Jones also took victory in the controversial non-championship race, the Spanish Grand Prix, which was originally meant to be a full championship event.
In 1981, the original first race was declared non-championship, after which Jones claimed the first championship race of the season in Long Beach. A mid-season slump saw teammate Carlos Reutemann challenge Piquet more strongly for the title, and Jones was out of contention for the final race of the season, which the Australian won to classify third in the Championship.
Jones suddenly retired from F1 ahead of the 1982, claiming wanting to enjoy his family life and not wanting ground effect cars; Williams replaced him with Finn Keke Rosberg. The motor racing bug hadn't left him, though, and he began competing in domestic Australian races. An opportunity then opened at Ferrari, following the death of Villeneuve, but Jones refused, and Mario Andretti drove instead. With ground effect cars being banned, Jones looked to make a comeback in 1983, signing a deal with Arrows for the United States Grand Prix West at Long Beach and non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch. Despite breaking his leg in a horse riding accident, Jones took part in both events, retiring in Long Beach but finishing third at Brands Hatch. He would have competed in more races, but was unable to pick up sponsorship and he was replaced by pay driver Chico Serra.
Remaining in Europe after this, Jones competed in the 1984 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing sixth with Vern Schuppan and Jean-Pierre Jarier. Returning down under in 1985, Jones took part in the first seven rounds of the Australian Touring Car Championship before an opportunity to replace an injured Andretti in a CART race lead to Jones resuming his F1 career at Lola. Driving only a few races, including the first time that the Australian Grand Prix was held as an full F1 race, Jones failed to reach the chequered flag each time. In 1986, Jones only managed two points finishes, and he retired from F1 for good.
Following his retirement, Jones entered Japanese endurance racing in 1987 and Asia-Pacific Touring Cars in 1988. After a break in 1989, Jones returned to Australia, racing in the Australian Touring Car Championship. He slowly built his speed up, eventually winning three races, two in 1993 and one in 1994; he was also classified second in the title race in 1993. He retired from competitive racing in 2002, aged 56. In 2005 he joined the short-lived Grand Prix Masters series, but withdrew from the first race citing neck pains.
Outside of a racing car, Jones has co-presented F1 for Nine Network F1 and Network TEN F1, managed the Australian A1 Grand Prix team and, most recently, one of the ex-driver stewards who provides a racing driver's view on situations.

Early life and career[]
Early years[]
Alan Jones was born in Melbourne, Australia where he attended Xavier College during his schooling years. Jones who was raised in a motor racing environment sought from a young age to emulate his father, Stan Jones. The elder Jones was one of Australia's top racing driver's from the 1950s, Stan had won the 1958 Australian Driver's Championship in a Formula One class Maserati 250F as well as the 1958 Australian Grand Prix. He was considered strong enough for Formula One and conducted test drives for both BRM and Ferrari. Jones however declined to move to Europe in order to stay in operation with his successful car business and his family in Australia.
Stan had been training his son Alan from a young age to enter a career into motorsport and at the age of 15 Alan had won his first karting championship. As well as this Jones worked in his father's car dealership as a mechanic and occasionally raced his father's Mini and single seated Cooper. A promising motor racing career was nearly cut short when his father's business went bankrupt during the Australian economic recession of the late 1960s. In 1967, Jones at the young age of 20 went on a holiday with friends to the United Kingdom and Europe. Touring the local race courses, Jones had decided that if he was truly going to do motorsport for a living, he would have to move to Europe in order to be successful. However unfortunately for Jones he lacked even the finances for a Formula Ford drive.
Three years later in 1970, Jones had made the move to the United Kingdom with little more than 50 pounds in his pocket. Jones and fellow Australian driver Brian McGuire started a business selling well used minivan's to fellow Australian migrants. The meager profits earned from this business was enough for Jones to enter motor racing on a shoe string budget.
1971–1973: Formula Three[]
Jones's initial career had little impact. Due to his constricted budget he had been racing around in Formula Ford with little success, however in 1971 he had acquired enough finances to purchase an old Lotus 41 for Formula Three. Jones's initial plan was to upgrade it to Formula Two specifications and sell it in Australia in order to finance a season in Formula Three. This plan went horribly wrong however when he crashed the car at Brands Hatch where he both broke his leg and destroyed the car.
Jones who was going through troubled times had a morale boost when his father Stan moved to the United Kingdom in late 1971 to be with his son. However the 1972 season proved little better than the season before, the lack of budget proving difficult for Jones to prove himself. The following year in 1973, Jones signed for a low-end team called DART Racing. The year started with another added low, Alan's father Stan died due to a stroke. Despite being distraught by his father's loss, Jones would finally prove himself in 1973. The first race after his father's death, Jones took his first Formula Three victory at Silverstone. Jones was an immediate title contender, he took three wins in the entire season and lost the championship by only two points to Tony Brise.
1974: Formula Atlantic[]
After his successful Formula Three campaign, Jones moved up into the British Formula Atlantic campaign for 1974. Jones once again made a successful entrance into the category, despite racing for a multitude of amateur team's Jones won three races in the season. In one event, the support race for the 1974 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, Jones whilst racing for Harry Stiller dominated his opponents, lapping at such a speed to match the Formula One cars at the back of the grid. Team manager Harry Stiller was convinced from this performance that Jones needed his Formula One break and began working on getting Jones a Formula One drive.
Formula One[]
1975: Harry Stiller Racing and Hill[]
Harry Stiller who had vowed to get Jones onto the Formula One grid for 1975, failed to attain Jones a seat in time for the beginning of the new season. Stiller however continued to pursue a way for Jones to make his way into Formula One before the end of the season.
Failing to make it into Formula One, Jones raced in Formula 5000 for most of the season. He once again proved successful and took another two race wins during the season. Stiller had meanwhile purchased a Hesketh 308B for Jones to compete in Formula One with for the remainder of the season. Jones's first race was a non-championship event, the 1975 BRDC International Trophy. Jones finished a solid seventh in the event.
Jones's first championship event was at the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. Jones had crashed into Mark Donohue's Penske on the third lap when both driver's spun off after spinning on oil from Jody Scheckter's Tyrrell. Jones's first race was marred by a much more serious accident in which Rolf Stommelen for Hill was pitched into the grandstands killing four people and severely injuring himself.
Jones confers with Hill team boss Graham Hill
Jones in the private Hesketh competed in the next three races with little success, his team's car and budget preventing him from challenging higher up the order. After three races, Stiller no longer could finance Jones's Formula One effort, however in one final act Stiller approached former world champion turned team owner Graham Hill for Jones to fill the second seat at the Hill team following the injury of Stommelen.
Hill agreed and Jones took on the second seat at the Hill team, joining his former Formula Three and Formula Atlantic rival Tony Brise in the team. The Hill car was not easy to drive and Jones regularly struggled in the mid-field with the car. It was not until the 1975 German Grand Prix that Jones finally proved himself in Formula One. Despite a poor qualifying at the gruelling Nurburgring circuit, Jones proved himself in the race as he climbed up the field to finish the race in fifth position, the team's highest finish of the season and Jones's first points placing. This proved to be the end of the season for Jones as the now recovered Stommelen had reclaimed his seat for the remainder of the season.
1976: Surtees[]
Jones's successful debut season in 1975 saw him draw the attention of the Surtees team ran by another former world champion turned team manager, John Surtees. The Surtees team had been struggling in recent years, but a major sponsership deal from Durex saw hope for improvement for the new season. Jones was offered a drive in the non-championship race at the 1976 Race of Champions. Jones immediately excelled in the race, finishing the event in second position behind the McLaren of James Hunt. Jones's performance had impressed John Surtees so much that he signed him for the remainder of the season alongside young American driver Brett Lunger.
Despite a promising start, Jones's campaign with Surtees turned out to be dreadful. The car proved difficult to drive and troublesome. Despite the troubles Jones was able to consistently muscle his car onto the back of the grid consistently, where as teammate Lunger who proved no match for his teammate struggled regularly to qualify. Jones despite the poorly Surtees car was beginning to establish a reputation as a fast and consistent driver. Rarely making a mistake, Jones was often able to capitalise on other's misfortune where he would slowly climb the field and on occasions climb into points positions. At the Belgian and British events, Jones was able to move into fifth position achieving points finishes for the Surtees team.
However his most significant performance of the season was at the final event at the notorious 1976 Japanese Grand Prix. The race notable for its controversy of being held in monsoon conditions and the final championship showdown between James Hunt and Niki Lauda saw Jones once again capitalise from the misfortune and trouble of others. Starting from a lowly 20th on the grid, Jones climbed the field with his rivals either retiring or struggling in the troublesome conditions. Jones had climbed up to a remarkable fourth position which soon became third when race leader and championship challenger James Hunt was forced into the pits. Hunt needing a third place to win the title came upon the rear of Jones where he overtook with relative ease. Hunt and many others within the Formula One community believed that Jones had slowed down and allowed Hunt through to take the third place in order to secure his world title, an act Jones denies claiming that Hunt had simply passed him on the track. Nonetheless the move saw Jones receive the support and admiration from the new world champion for the remainder of his career.
Although 1976 had seen Jones prove himself as a driver, he had become increasingly disillusioned with the Surtees team throughout the season. Jones believed John Surtees to be an ineffectual team leader who refused to listen to Jones's advice on changes he believe needed to be made on the car. Despite the disagreements, Surtees could not deny his driver's potential and offered a contract for 1977. Jones however was fed up with the troubles at the Surtees team and refused the contract even if it meant sacrificing a race seat amongst the Formula One grid for the following season.
1977: Shadow[]
Having turned down a seat for Formula One in 1977, Jones returned to Australia to compete in the Rothmans International Series throughout January and February with the Theodore team. Jones finished third in the series taking one victory. He then moved with the Theodore team to begin a campaign in North America in the Can-Am series.
After only three races of competing in the series, Jones received a call from Shadow team boss Jackie Oliver asking if he would be willing to join the team for the remainder of the Formula One season. Their driver, Tom Pryce, had been killed in the South African Grand Prix and the team were in need of a replacement. Jones agreed to join the team, cutting short his Can-Am campaign and rejoining the Formula One circus from the fourth round onwards.
The Shadow DN8 was a reasonable mid-field running car which enabled Jones to further showcase his abilities. Jones scored his first points of the season with a sixth place at the 1977 Monaco Grand Prix. The next race in Belgium, Jones shined once again. After a poor qualifying which saw him start from 17th he climbed up the field where his Shadow ran as high as third at one point. His car was eventually overtaken by Ronnie Peterson and Vittorio Brambilla, yet Jones put in another commendable performance to finish fifth in the race.
However it was the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix where Jones really shined. After an average qualifying which saw qualify 14th, the race turned out to be a one of opportunity for Jones and the Shadow team. Before the race commenced, heavy rains had afflicted the track, however once the race began the skies had cleared. The track remained wet with most drivers struggling on slick tyres. Jones's Shadow however worked brilliantly in the wet conditions and he began to climb the ranks of the field. By lap 12 he was up into fourth place where he soon overtook the two cars of Jody Scheckter and Hans-Joachim Stuck ahead of him. The only car ahead of him was James Hunt's McLaren which proved to be the only car on track that Jones could not match. However on lap 44, Hunt's engine blew allowing Jones to take the lead where he went on to take a comfortable first win , 20 seconds ahead of Niki Lauda's Ferrari in second.
Jones excelled once again two races later at the Italian Grand Prix. After qualifying 16th, Jones drove another consistent and strong race to climb up to third position by the races end allowing him to take his second podium finish of his career. In Canada, Jones got his best qualifying result to date with a seventh place starting position, he was then rewarded to go on to finish in fourth place. The final race of the season in Japan saw Jones go on to take another fourth place to finish the season. Jones finished the season seventh in the driver's standings where he scored all of Shadow's points bar one during the season.
1978–1981: Williams[]
After his win in Austria and third in Italy in 1977, Jones's reputation had increased significantly. When Niki Lauda had announced his departure from Ferrari in 1977, the team contacted Jones for a race drive in 1978. Jones met with Enzo Ferrari and signed a contract for 1978 with the team. However there was one notable clause in the contract. The team were looking for a North American driver to boost their sales within North America and in the event the team could find a North American driver, Jones's contract would be rendered obsolete. Unfortunately for Jones, such a thing did happen when Ferrari signed Gilles Villeneuve for 1978, rendering Jones out of the drive for the team.
Luckily for Jones he was also in contact with manager Frank Williams who had recently formed a new team for 1978, Williams Grand Prix Engineering. After being impressed with the team's new car, the Williams FW06 designed by Patrick Head, Jones signed for the fledgling team as the sole driver within the team.
The FW06 was a dependable car, however its capability to produce strong results was overshadowed by the new generation of 'ground effect' cars that had began to dominate in 1978. The car was capable, however, of regularly qualifying within the bottom half of the top ten on occassions and Jones was definately running as one of the fastest midfield runners on the grid.
He scored Williams's first points in the third round of the championship in South Africa where he garnered a fourth place from 18th on the grid. His next points finish came in France where he finished in fifth position. The next few races were ones of missed opportunities, he qualified in sixth place for both the British and German Grand Prix's, but retired from mechanical failure in both these events. In Austria Jones was caught in a multi-car pile-up and retired whilst in the Netherlands he suffered another mechanical failure. Jones had another sixth place qualifying position at Monza but failed to produce a strong result.
Jones's best result of the season came at the penultimate race at Watkins Glen. Jones qualified in a fantastic third place behind Mario Andretti and Carlos Reutemann. The start saw Jones drop to fourth behind Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari. He was however able to overtake Andretti for third place and then was promoted to second when Villeneuve went out with a blown engine. Jones went on to take a second place finish, 20 seconds behind Reutemann's Ferrari.
It had been a strong start to the Williams-Jones partnership, Jones had begun to establish a very strong technical and personal relationship with the Williams management in Frank Williams and Patrick Head. Jones finished the season in eleventh in the Constructor's standings, however it was evident by the season's end that the Williams team was quite rapidly gaining momentum on its competitors.
Aside from his Formula One ventures, Jones also competed in a season of Can-Am in North America for Carl Haas's team. Jones dominated the series where he took five victories out of the nine events. Jones missed the final round of the championship due to conflicting F1 interests therefore winning all but three of the races he took part in. Two of the races he did not win, he still was able to score podiums further proving his worth to the motoring world.
In 1979, Jones was joined at Williams by one of Formula One's most senior racing drivers, Clay Regazzoni. The team would have to start the season with the old car, the FW06. The team's successor the Williams FW07 was not ready in time for the start of the season.
As was expected Williams struggled in the opening races, the old FW06 was not up to par with the new generation of cars. Jones and Regazzoni struggled in the first three races of the season. Jones was however able to provide the FW06 an appropriate send-off before it was replaced by the FW07. In the Long Beach race, Jones qualified in a strong tenth place. After a strong start to climb to fifth. In the middle stages of the race, Jones was able to overtake Mario Andretti and Jean-Pierre Jarier to take third position in the race, taking his first points and podium of the season.
For the next race at Jarama, the FW06 was replaced with the FW07, the Williams team's first attempt at constructing a ground effect car to compete with the front runners. The car's inital debut was not successful, both Jones and Regazzoni qualifying in the midfield, the race then saw both cars retire with mechanical troubles.
The car's second race at Zolder turned out to be much more competitive than its first. Jones had qualified fourth on the grid and at the start moved into second position behind Patrick Depailler's Ligier. Jones then lost second to the second Ligier of Jacques Laffite, however soon was back into second when Depailler began to drop back. Then on lap 24, Jones reclaimed the lead from Laffite and began to pull away. His hopes of a Williams first victory were dashed on lap 41 when he went out with an electrical failure.
The next race in Monaco, both Jones and Regazzoni were strong and challenging amongst the leaders. Jones was forced out of the race from third position when he suffered a steering failure that pitched him into the barriers. The French race saw another strong result for Williams as the team got its first double points finish with Jones finishing in fourth with Regazzoni two places behind in sixth.
The FW07 was improving significantly and at the pre-race testing at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, Williams were consistently lapping the circuit faster than all its rivals. It was no surprise then to see Jones take a commanding first pole position with Regazzoni only a few places down in fourth place. As the race commenced, the two Williams cars took the lead with Jones leading Regazzoni and pulling away significantly from the rest of the field. Jones looked like once again to have a comfortable race win, yet his car once again would let him down. Jones retired on the 38th lap with an overheating engine. He was forced to look on as teammate Regazzoni took a comfortable first win for Williams at their home grand prix.
The next race at Hockenheim provided better fortunes for Jones, he qualified in second position behind Jean-Pierre Jabouille's Renault, however at the start he stormed into the lead and thereafter was never challenged. Regazzoni came home to finish second as Jones who failed to get Williams's first win was at least able to ensure the team's first one-two victory.
Jones's momentum continued in Austria as he qualified in second position. He maintained his position into the first corner where he duelled with Gilles Villeneuve for the lead, until lap 3 when Jones occupied the lead. Thereafter Jones was never challenged taking the victory 36 seconds ahead of Villeneuve.
At Zandvoort, Jones qualified second once again, the Renault cars proving the only match to the Williams in qualifying with René Arnoux on pole. Nonetheless Jones stormed into the lead once again where he went on to take another victory, twenty seconds ahead of championship leader Jody Scheckter. By now Jones was third in the championship, only ten points behind Scheckter and only two behind Laffite ahead of him.
Mechanical troubles at Monza meant that he struggled and finished outside of the points, effectively ruling him out of the championship running. However it was a return to form at the Canadian race. Jones missed out on pole to the home talent of Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari and in the race Villeneuve led Jones away. For much of the early race, Jones shadowed Villeneuve however then became much more aggressive his overtaking attempts on the Canadian. Jones was finally able to overtake Villeneuve by squeezing him down the inside at the hairpin where the two notably banged wheels. Villeneuve conceded the place and Jones took victory. Scheckter secured the title with his fourth place, however the battle for the runner-up would continue to the final race at Watkins Glen between Jones and Villeneuve.
The final race of the season saw Jones take another pole position ahead of his rival Villeneuve in second place. The start of the race was damp with most driver's starting on wet tyres, Villeneuve took the lead with Jones pursuing in second place. As the track began to dry both Villeneuve and Jones pitted on lap 31 for dry tyres. Villeneuve exited the pits fine but as Jones exited the pits, one of his wheels was not properly fixed and came off, bouncing down the pitlane luckily avoiding to hit any bystanders.
Jones's retirement meant that his final championship position would be third, finishing behind Villeneuve in the standings. Williams were however able to score the runners-up laurels in the constructor's championship. Their new FW07 car had become by the mid-season the fastest car on the Formula One grid, Jones lost the title based on the team's inconsistency at the start of the year as well as the reliability problems that hindered his ability to take several more wins to the team.
Despite missing out on the championship in 1979, Williams headed into 1980 with what was believed to be the fastest and most consistent car in the championship. The team's renowned Williams FW07 was further upgraded ahead of 1980 with Jones and Williams believed to be the main championship contenders. Regazzoni had been replaced in the team as number two driver by Carlos Reutemann, the Argentine was considered to be very fast on his day but extremely inconsistent in his race performances.
The first race of the season was held at Buenos Aires for the Argentine Grand Prix. Jones dominated qualifying to take a convincing pole position. In the race he immediately began to pull away from his rivals and began to open a significant lead. He experienced a hitch in his race when a plastic bag got lodged in his radiators which began to hurt his performance forcing him to come into the pits to get it removed. This dropped Jones down to fourth in the race. He battled past Villeneuve's Ferrari only to spin and drop to fourth again. He was soon past the Ferrari driver, Jacques Laffite in the Ligier then suffered an engine failure which promoted him to second and soon enough he had past Nelson Piquet's Brabham for the lead. Jones began to pull away at a drastic pace, going on to win the race 24 seconds ahead of Piquet behind him.
In Brazil, Jones suffered a poor qualifying only managing tenth on the grid. Despite being uncompetitive in the race, Jones drove consistently making it up to third by the race's end due to the retirements of many cars ahead of him. Jones had another poor qualifying in South Africa managing only eighth on the grid. However Jones made his customary strong start to climb up to third by the first corner, slotting in behind the two Renault's of Jabouille and Arnoux. Jones was unable to compete with the faster turbo charged Renault's and soon came under pressure from the two Ligier cars of Jacques Laffite and Didier Pironi. Laffite made it past Jones whilst Jones and Pironi continued to battle. Jones however went out of the race with gearbox failure ending his duel with Pironi.
His failure to finish in South Africa had dropped Jones to second in the standings behind Arnoux's Renault. Long Beach was the next venue on the calendar and Jones could only manage fifth in qualifying. The start saw him move past Jan Lammers and then a couple of laps later he was past championship leader Arnoux. By the mid-race, Jones had moved past Patrick Depailler to take second and had began to chase after race leader Piquet. However on lap 49 as he was making his way through backmarkers, Bruno Giacomelli's Alfa Romeo failed to give way and the two driver's collided. Giacomelli caused both himself and Jones to retire due to his mistake. A second failure to finish in a row from Jones meant that he dropped to third in the standings behind Long Beach winner Nelson Piquet.
After a wet qualifying at Zolder, Jones took pole position ahead of the two Ligier cars of Pironi and Laffite. The start saw Jones drop behind Pironi's Ligier. The young Frenchman proved untouchable in the race with Jones and Laffite battling for second place. Laffite dropped out mid race with brake problems leaving Jones to finish second, a solid 47 seconds behind Pironi as the second Williams of Reutemann took third. Jones's strong result in the race saw him move into second in the championship, only two points behind leader Arnoux.
The next race in Monaco, Jones qualified in third place behind teammate Reutemann and Pironi. On the second lap Jones overtook Reutemann and began to battle Pironi's Ligier. However for the second race in succession, the Ligier of Pironi proved to be too quick and Jones began to drop back. On lap 24 Jones pulled into the pits to retire with differential failure. With Pironi crashing out of the race, Reutemann took the race win with main championship rival Piquet finishing third. Piquet's third place meant he took the lead of the championship ahead of Arnoux and Jones.
The next venue in Jarama in Spain was surrounded by controversy. From the moment before practice began there was doubt that the race would be counted towards the world championship due to a dispute between the British led FOCA and the French governing body FISA. Jones qualified in second position behind the Ligier of Laffite. The start saw him overtake Laffite, however teammate Reutemann made the strongest start to take first place. Jones tailed Reutemann until he missed a gear which saw him drop behind Laffite, Pironi and Piquet. Reutemann and Laffite later crashed out of the race leaving Jones once again chasing Pironi in second place. Overheating problems saw Jones drop back from Pironi, however when a wheel dislocated from Pironi's car, Jones reclaimed the lead to take a comfortable race victory. Had the Spanish event counted to world championship points, Jones would have reclaimed the championship. Following the race, Jones was livid at the FISA in particular its President Jean-Marie Balestre who he felt had robbed him of his race victory. Jones stated after the race "Whatever Balestre or anyone else says, that was a Grand Prix as far as I'm concerned, and I won it."
The next race was held at Paul Ricard for the French Grand Prix. Jones was determined for a good result in order to get revenge on the French led FISA for the removal of the Spanish race from the world championship. Jones qualified in fourth behind the two Ligier's of Laffite and Pironi as well as Renault's Arnoux, all three notably French cars and drivers. The start saw Jones maintain position behind the three, however as the race progressed Jones overtook both Pironi and Arnoux. Laffite was dominating out front, however tyre degradation saw him drop back and eventually Jones took the lead of the race. Jones went on to take the win where he notably following the race raised the Union Jack of Great Britain in his hands during the parade lap, a gesture which was seen by many as aimed to humiliate the FISA on their home turf. Jones had also reclaimed his lead in the world championship during the race.
The British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch was the next venue. Jones qualified in third, the two Ligier's once again out performing him in qualifying. In the race they proved too competitive once again as they pulled away, Jones remaining a distant third. Pironi was to drop out with tyre problems and then later Laffite crashed out with a puncture, reliability issues proving their downfall once again. Jones meanwhile was there to pick up the pieces and took his third successive race victory with Piquet trailing behind him.
At Hockenheim, Jones once again took pole position just ahead of the two turbo charged Renaults. The start saw him drop behind the two Renaults of Jabouille and Arnoux, the turbo charged cars having an advantage on the long straights of the Hockenheim circuit. However Renault's poor reliability record would haunt them once again in Germany with both cars retiring. Jones inherited the lead and was set for his fourth consecutive win, however a puncture to the front left tyre dropped him to third behind Laffite's Ligier and teammate Reutemann. Jones remained in third for the remainder of the race. There was some post-race controversy surrounding Jones where he notably failed to attend the podium ceremony. Upon hearing FISA President Jean-Marie Balestre was to conduct the hand-outs of the trophies, Jones refused to attend the podium. Jones continued to disdain Balestre for failing to acknowledge his win in Jarama as a championship race.
In Austria, Jones qualified behind the Renault's, the long straights of the Österreichring once again playing into the hands of the Renaults. Jones briefly was able to overtake the two driver's at the start but then soon fell behind Jabouille and Arnoux. The pace of the Renault's once again reigned supreme on the fast circuits, however their reliability problems would cause the retirement of Arnoux allowing Jones back into second. Jones remained in second for the remainder of the race finishing behind Jabouille and a place ahead of Reutemann.
The Italian race at Imola saw the Renault's dominate qualifying once again, Jones could only manage sixth on the grid a single place behind his nearest championship challenger Nelson Piquet. During the race Jones was not quick, however the retirement of many of his challengers in front of him saw him being promoted through the field. The Brabham car of Nelson Piquet took a dominating win, Jones could only manage second over 29 seconds adrift of the young Brazilian charger. The result saw Piquet ovetake Jones in the world championship, now leading Jones by a single point.
The penultimate round in the championship at Montreal proved to be the title showdown between Jones and Piquet. Piquet and Brabham had found a resurgence in Italy where they took a dominant win. Their form was set to continue as Piquet dominated the qualifying session, Jones was second on the grid however remained some way off Piquet's pace. When the race began, Jones made his customary strong start and went down the inside of Piquet heading into turn one. Piquet failed to give way and the two collided, Piquet spinning into the wall and causing a multi-car pile-up. The race was stopped, Jones had suffered minor damage to his rear wing but was able to take the restart in the same car, Piquet meanwhile was forced to start in his spare car. Jones had a strong start to take the lead from Piquet on the restart. His lead would only last for a short time as Piquet proved much quicker and was soon overtaken. Piquet's Brabham began to pull away drastically. However to Piquet's misfortune his engine blew up on lap 24 meaning that all Jones needed to do to win the title was win the race. His car began to handle strangely at the rear following his accident with Piquet and he began to slow. Jones let Didier Pironi through to take the lead, however luckily for Jones, Pironi had received a minute time penalty for jumping the start. With Pironi being handed a time penalty, Jones followed the Ligier driver to take the race victory and become Australia's second world champion, winning the country's first title since Jack Brabham in 1966.
The final race of the season was the United States Grand Prix East at Watkins Glen. Qualifying in fifth position, Jones made a strong start to climb to second before outbraking himself into the first corner and going wide off the circuit. This meant he dropped nearly to last place. Jones would then stage a strong comeback drive, climbing through the field he managed to claw his way back into second, following a notable battle with teammate Reutemann for the position. He was promoted to the lead when race leader Bruno Giacomelli retired, Jones going on to take the race victory ahead of Reutemann.
Following his win in the US, Jones returned to Australia during the off-season of Formula One, now as a national sporting hero. Jones's 1980 championship win had now sparked a national interest in Formula One for Australians. Jones was invited to compete in the 1980 Australian Grand Prix, traditionally a Formula 5000 event, the 1980 race was open to Formula One driver's and cars to celebrate Jones's 1980 championship win. Jones and his championship winning FW07 entered the race at Calder Park, also in attendance was Bruno Giacomelli's Alfa Romeo and Didier Pironi in a F5000 car. Jones battled Giacomelli for the lead during the race, eventually going on to win the non-championship race ahead of Giacomelli and Pironi. The race which was covered by Nine Network's Wide World of Sports saw the television then go on to announce coverage for every round of the 1981 world championship, following the demand for Formula One in Australian viewers.
For 1981, Alan Jones was firmly established as the number one driver within the Williams team. Carlos Reutemann remained in the team but was forced to sign as an effective number two to Jones at Williams. Whilst Jones was popular and worked well with the Williams team, Reutemann had proved to be moody and unreliable despite proving to be a very quick racing driver in the previous season.
Tensions between FOCA and FISA meant that the first round of the championship at Kyalami meant that the race was stripped of championship points as the Spanish race had been done the previous year. Reutemann took the race victory as Jones struggled throughout the race before going on to retire with a loose skirt. The first race to count for championship points was the Long Beach race in the USA. Jones was second on the grid with teammate Reutemann in third, Patrese's Arrows in an unexpected pole. The two Williams cars took the lead, Reutemann leading Jones. Whilst the two cars appeared evenly matched in pace, Reutemann under team orders was forced to give way to Jones who went on to take the race win.
Whilst Jones walked away from Long Beach in prime position to defend his title, his teammate Reutemann was privately fuming at having to give way to his teammate so early in the season when the two drivers were so evenly matched. This conflict was to come to a head in the next round of the championship in Brazil. Whilst Piquet took pole position, Reutemann and Jones were right behind him in their Williams's. The race held in pouring rain saw Piquet's Brabham fade as the two Williams cars were set to dominate once again. Reutemann led whilst Jones tailed him throughout the race, patiently waiting for Reutemann to get the order to let his team leader through. Late in the race, the Williams team brought out the pit signal which ordered Reutemann to move over. Much to Jones's confusion, his teammate refused to let him through. Jones continued to patiently wait for Reutemann to let him through rather than fight him but Reutemann defiantly disobeyed his team not wishing to sacrifice a race win twice in a row. Reutemann won the race with Jones finishing in second place. Jones was furious with his teammate and refused to attend the podium celebration. From thereon Jones realised that Reutemann was not going to assist his championship endeavours and if he was to take a second world championship, it would be without the assistance of his 'number two' driver.
The next race in Argentina, Jones qualified ahead of Reutemann once again. However Piquet and Prost's Renault were notably ahead of him. In the race Jones suffered engine problems which saw him drop behind Reutemann in the race, despite being unable to challenge the top three he was able to salvage a fourth place finish in the race. Reutemann was now the new championship leader however, three points clear of Jones.
After a poor qualifying in San Marino, Jones made his traditional flying start going from eighth on the grid to fourth. Jones found himself inconveniently behind Reutemann. It was evident to all that neither driver viewed each other as teammates engaging in a brief bloodthirsty duel. As Jones went for an overtake, Reutemann angrily shut the door and in doing so took off Jones's front wing. A sudden loss of performance afflicted Jones and he was forced to pit for repairs, meaning he finished well outside of the points during the race. Reutemann took third whilst Jones's other old nemesis Nelson Piquet took the race win.
Heading into Zolder, Jones had dropped down to third in the championship standings. Reutemann consolidated a strong championship lead whilst Piquet had usurped him from second following his Monaco race win. Jones had another frustrating qualifying taking eighth once again, watching on as Reutemann took pole. In the race, Jones was a man on the move. Jones worked his way up into fourth place before getting stuck behind Piquet's Brabham. Jones was at this point the fastest car on track, however Piquet was preventing his further advancement by proving to be incredibly difficult to pass. Frustration eventually got the better of Jones and on the tenth lap, he forced his way down the inside of Piquet knocking the Brabham into the barriers. A furious Piquet stormed back to the pits and angrily berated Frank Williams about his driver, threatening to break Jones's legs at one point. Nonetheless once free of Piquet, Jones quickly disposed of Pironi and Reutemann ahead of him to take the lead. Jones was enjoying a comfortable lead with Reutemann distancing himself behind him in second place. However disaster then struck on lap 20, Jones missed a gear and went wide speering into the wall at the Bianchi turn. Upon impact with the barriers, the radiator exploded scalding Jones's leg. Jones shaken and battered from his recent accident, limped from the car however he had luckily escaped the accident largely unscathed.
The next race in Monaco, Jones had another disappointing qualifying only managing seventh. His race faired better as he climbed up the order due to the retirements of several cars in front of him. After overtaking Villeneuve's Ferrari, Jones began to chase after race leader Piquet. Piquet had heavily criticised Jones's driving style following their coming together in Belgium, something Jones himself was mightily unhappy about. Jones began to relentlessly attack Piquet's Brabham, the Brazilian doing all that he could to keep the Williams driver behind. Eventually Piquet's will to fend off the unrelenting Williams driver broke and he crashed into the wall, leaving Jones back into the lead. Jones was left in the lead seemingly unchallenged until lap 67 when his engine began to misfire. Jones returned to the pits for a check-up and exited the pits only just ahead of Villeneuve's Ferrari. Jones seemingly had the win in hand, however Villeneuve behind him was determined to get the race win and took the lead with four laps to go. Jones disappointingly finished behind Villeneuve, but had gained some crucial places in the championship with his second place finish. He was now second in the championship, ten points off teammate and arch rival Carlos Reutemann.
At Jarama, Jones put in a strong qualifying to put his Wiliams second on the grid, sitting behind only the Ligier of Jacques Laffite. He took the lead of the race at the start and began to pull out a drastic lead. For the third race in a row, Jones seemed to have the race in hand, however like in Zolder Jones made a crucial mistake and spun off the circuit. Jones was able to rejoin the race, but finished the grand prix well outside the points. Reutemann, gained three points on him in the championship, however his other key rival Piquet failed to finish the race.
The next round was held a Dijon for the French Grand Prix. It would be another poor weekend for Jones, it all began with a poor qualifying that saw him line up ninth on the grid. From the start of the race, Jones began to experience mechanical troubles that forced him into the pits for repairs. This therefore dropped him well out of contention. His rivalry with Piquet sparked up once again, despite being several laps behind the leaders due to his mishaps Jones was lapping at equal pace with the frontrunners. Jones came upon the rear of Piquet's Brabham who was leading the race. Piquet stubbornly refused to allow Jones through, much to the Australian's frustration. Jones finished the race for the second race in a row outside of the points. This had hurt his championship ambitions as he dropped to third in the standings, two points now behind Piquet.
Ahead of the next race in Silverstone, Jones led the GPDA against the FISA President, Jean-Marie Balestre surrouding the issue of fines being issued to drivers following the debacle in Zolder. Despite the two men despising one another, Jones on behalf of the GPDA managed to come to a compromise with Balestre surrounding the fines. The race would be markedly less succesful. After another poor qualifying which saw him start from seventh on the grid, Jones was taken out of the race when himself and another driver, Andrea de Cesaris crashed into the out of control Ferrari of Gilles Villeneuve.
At Hockenheim, Jones was able to improve his qualifying performance, starting from fourth on the grid behind Reutemann and the two Renault's of Arnoux and Prost. Jones was the man on the move and quickly disposed of Reutemann and Arnoux and began to challenge Alain Prost's Renault for the lead. As was typical of Jones, he began to employ a relentless attack method to the car in front of him. Prost's turbo charged Renault had the advantage on Hockenheim's long straights, however Jones was all over the rear of Prost in the corners. On lap 21, going into the Sachs-Kurve, Prost whilst lapping teammate Arnoux moved to the outside to pass. Jones on the other hand moved to Arnoux's inside and cunningly took the lead from Prost. Jones was set for another race win, but as was becoming a habit that season it was not to be. Jones's Ford-Cosworth began to misfire forcing him into the pits and once again dropping him well out of the points. Jones finished the race, but his championship hopes were beginning to wain as he failed once again to get a points finish.
In Austria, Jones qualified in sixth position. He would go on to drive an unspectacular race, however would break his five race duck of failing to finish by taking fourth place in the race. Much to his satisfaction, Jones finished one place above Reutemann who was unable to find a way past his teammate throughout the race. In Zandvoort, the Williams cars were competitive and Jones lined up fourth on the grid behind the two Renault's and Piquet's Brabham. In the warm-up, Jones and Reutemann were the fastest cars on track which would go on to reflect their race pace. Jones quickly moved up to second and for the second time that season began an intense duel with Prost's Renault for the lead. Unlike in Hockenheim however, Jones was unable to find a way passed and the continued failure to get passed Prost resulted in his Williams's tyre degradation. Eventually Jones began to fall back, the poor state of his tyres meant that Jones could not defend against Piquet who took second place. Jones went on to take third in the race.
At Monza, Jones qualified in a reasonable fifth position. Jones clawed his way through the field, overtaking Laffite, Piquet and Reutemann ahead of him to move into second place. Prost ahead of him was too quick and Jones could not challenge for the lead, however the Australian went on to take an unchallenged second place. The latter half of the season was proving to finally provide results for Jones who had endured a tough mid-season.
Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, much to everyone's surprise Jones announced he would be retiring from Formula One at the end of the season. Jones like many of his generation had criticised the new ground effect cars that were being run. The cars being uncomfortable to drive as well as being very dangerous had prompted Jones to make the decision to retire from Formula One. Jones still had a slim chance of reclaiming his title, he was third in the championship standings, nine points off Piquet and twelve points off leader Reutemann. In qualifying, Jones was third behind Piquet and Reutemann. He made his characteristic strong start, forcing himself into the lead, banging wheels with Reutemann in the process of heading into turn one. However once again whilst he was leading, Jones spun off the circuit throwing it all away. Jones dropped down the field and then shortly afterwards retired with differential failure. His failure to gain points meant that there was no longer any chance of him reclaiming his title in 1981.
The 1981 Caesars Palace Grand Prix in Las Vegas was set to be Jones's final race before retirement. His teammate Carlos Reutemann was favourite to take the title, duelling Piquet and Laffite for the title. Jones assured the paddock that Reutemann would not get any assistance from him in the race and Jones would be focussed entirely on himself and doing the best he could in his final race for Williams. In qualifying Reutemann took pole whilst Jones lined up alongside him, second on the grid. In the race Jones took an immediate lead and began to pull away from the start. Reutemann notably fading and dropping down the order. Jones went on to dominate the events, the troubles that plagued him that season seemed non existent as he took a dominant win in Las Vegas. Reutemann meanwhile fell out of the points and remarkably lost the championship to Nelson Piquet. Jones had won the opening and closing rounds of 1981 and the result in Las Vegas secured him third in the championship, a fitting end before Jones returned to Australia to begin his retirement.
1982–1985: First Retirement[]
1982: Domestic ventures[]
There were a number of factors that contributed to Alan Jones's rather surprising retirement in 1981. Jones was seen at the peak of his career and his retirement came to the paddock and especially his team Williams F1 as an enormous surprise. In 1979, Jones and his wife Beverley had an adoptive son, Christian. Now a father, Jones no longer felt he could adequately raise a son and be a full-time Formula One driver. To further enhance his decision, Jones detested the ground effect cars that were being used in the early 1980s. They were described as being as extremely uncomfortable to drive as well as being extremely dangerous.
It was only a short time before his announcement of his retirement in Canada, that Jones had informed Williams team leaders Frank Williams and Patrick Head of his impending retirement. Williams and Head who were at a loss at losing what they thought was their ideal driver spent much of the 1982 pre-season attempting to persuade Jones to rethink his decision to retire. Jones however remained adamant that he had made the right decision and a resigned Williams eventually signed Keke Rosberg for the new season.
Jones returned to his homeland in Australia and purchased a farm in rural Victoria to live with his family. Despite his Formula One retirement, Jones remained highly involved in racing and motorsport. In November 1981, for the second year running Jones participated in the Australian Grand Prix. The race held at Calder Park saw the attendance of F1 rivals Nelson Piquet and Jacques Laffite. Also in attendance was Roberto Moreno a future Formula One star as well as top line Australian race drivers such as Larry Perkins, Geoff Brabham and Alfredo Costanzo. Jones qualified in second place driving a Ralt, outmatched by the young Brazilian Roberto Moreno. Jones would fail to repeat his 1980 win due to a transmission failure.
Despite retiring from Formula One, Jones could not give up the racing bug and in 1982 began competing in multiple domestic categories. In this time Jones was able to further prove himself as Australia's top racing driver of the day. Jones competed a full season of the 1982 Australian GT Championship. In this series he went up against other Australian racing icons such as Peter Brock. Jones driving a Porsche 935 Turbo dominated the championship, winning all 16 races of the championship.
Jones also participated in the Australian Endurance Championship driving a Mazda RX-7. Jones participated in the James Hardie 1000 at Bathurst and the Gold Coast 300, retiring on both occasions. Jones also participated in two rounds of the Better Brakes Touring Car Championship. In both rounds, Jones battled Australian touring car legend, Allan Grice for the lead winning one round whilst finishing second to Grice in the other.
Jones also raced in the final two races of the Australian Drivers' Championship. Jones took second place behind championship winner Alfredo Costanzo. In the final round, it was the Australian Grand Prix at Calder Raceway. Jones was reunited with many of his Formula One colleagues who also attended the race. Jones would compete against Jacques Laffite, Nelson Piquet and Alain Prost in the event. Jones qualified seventh in the event, notably behind his rivals. The crowd was robbed the opportunity to see Jones battle amongst his old rivals when a broken flywheel prevented him from taking the start. Prost would go on to take a dominate win at the event.
In 1982, Jones considered making a comeback to Formula One with the Ferrari team. Gilles Villeneuve had been killed at Zolder whilst Didier Pironi was seriously injured at Hockenheim. Lacking a top level driver, Ferrari approached Jones to consider making a return to Formula One for the 1982 Italian Grand Prix. Jones was hesitant to sign, he still also begrudged the team for turning his back on his contract with the team for the 1978 season. Jones opted against returning, however would come to regret the move following the strong results of Mario Andretti whom the team had turned to after failing to sign Jones.
1983: Comeback with Arrows[]
The interest from Ferrari in 1982 had reignited Jones's passion for racing. By 1983 the ground effect cars that had disillusioned Jones in 1981 had been banned, in turn enhancing Jones's interest in Formula One. By the end of 1982, Jones had decided he wanted to re-enter Formula One, however despite conducting testing duties with his old team and friends at Williams in November 1982, the team had already signed drivers for the new season. All the other top teams also had signed drivers, forcing Jones to look at the midfield to make his Formula One return
. Jones approached Arrows team principal Jackie Oliver about signing from the second round of the championship onwards. Oliver was keen, however his small team's limited budget had meant that they were forced to take on two pay drivers. Jones, however hoped a Formula One return in Long Beach as a former world champion would attract sponsors to him and the team. Oliver agreed to sign Jones for two races, the United States Grand Prix and the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch.
However there were immediate problems, only a few weeks before the Long Beach race, Jones fell off a horse whilst riding and broke his left leg. Jones had steel pins inserted into his leg to help the bone heal. He conducted a test with the team at Willow Springs in Los Angeles to confirm his fitness for the race. After a satisfactory performance, Jones made his way to Long Beach in preparation for the race. He qualified in twelfth position, beating his Arrows teammate Marc Surer by one place. In the race, Surer got by Jones and went on his way to fifth in the race. Jones, however struggled. He competed in eleventh position for awhile until he hit a barrier forcing him into the pits. After extensive repairs, Jones exited in last place, his legs began to pain in him in the race and with no chance of securing a good result he withdrew from the race.
Jones's second outing at the Race of Champions turned out to be much more succesful. Fully healed from his leg injuries, Jones put in an impressive qualifying performance to start from third on the grid. Teammate Chico Serra could only manage eleventh, confirming that Jones still had what it took to compete at the front. Jones ran a strong race to finish in the same position he started, taking the final podium place alongside Keke Rosberg and Danny Sullivan.
Despite an encouraging performance by Jones at the Race of Champions, Jones failed to acquire the sponsorship that he had expected. Jones was desperate to compete in the next round of the championship in France, however much to Arrows team principal's regret he was forced to sign the team's two pay drivers, Marc Surer and Chico Serra for the race. The team simply could not afford to race with Jones despite his skill and reputation. This brought an end to Jones's 1983 Formula One bid with no other team able to take him on without adequate sponsorship.
1983–1985: Semi-active racing involvement[]
Following his disappointment in Formula One, Jones remained in Europe to compete in endurance racing, competing in a round each of both the World Sportscar Championship and the European Sportscar Championship. Jones raced in a Porsche 956, completing both races in the midfield. Upon completion of these events, Jones returned to Australia resuming his role on Australian Television as a presenter for Nine Network's F1 coverage. At the end of the year, for the fourth year in a row Jones competed in the Australian Grand Prix at Calder Park. Only Jacques Laffite of his old F1 rivals turned up for the event. Jones qualified fourth in the race, two places ahead of Laffite but in the race could only manage fifth, finishing behind Roberto Moreno, John Smith, Jacques Laffite and Geoff Brabham.
In 1984, Jones turned his attention to Sportscar events. Jones competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time, teaming up with another top line Australian driver and former F1 racer Vern Schuppan. The pair competed in a Porsche 956B, performed well to take sixth in the standings. Jones then returned to Australia to compete in the Australian Endurance Championship, racing in a Holden Commodore. Jones continued to perform well taking tenth in the championship, even though only competing in three events. The final event Jones competed in during 1984 was the Sandown 1000. The race marked an event part of the World Sportscar Championship, Jones teamed up with Vern Schuppan once again to take eighth in the event.
By 1985, Jones had begun to look at making a more serious return to active involvement in motor racing. Jones sold his family farm in Victoria, Australia and returned to the driver's seat. Jones was heavily involved in touring cars for the first half of the year, competing in the Better Brakes AMSCAR series as well as the Australian Touring Car Championship. Jones found himself, competing full-time for the first time against other major Australian and New Zealand racing stars. Jones joined the works Alfa Romeo team alongside another prestigious Australian racer, Colin Bond. Bond had previously won the Australian Rally Championship and the Touring Car Championship and was a veteran touring car racer. Nonetheless Jones proved to consistently outmatch his rival, and whilst his Alfa Romeo GTV6 was unable to match the top cars such as Jim Richards BMW 635 CSi or the local brands of Dick Johnson's Ford Mustang GT and Peter Brock's Holden VK Commodore. Jones continued to demonstrate his pace, by consistently getting his Alfa home in fourth place behind the big three of Richards, Johnson and Brock. By July 1985, Jones had began to look internationally once again, focusing on trying to prove himself once again worthy of Formula One.
In the United States of America, former F1 rival Mario Andretti had injured himself whilst competing in an IndyCar event in Michigan. Andretti's team, Newman-Haas Racing was looking for a top level single seater driver to replace him. Carl Haas, team principal of Newman-Haas had previously worked with Jones before, when back in 1978 the two had won the Can-Am championship. Furthermore Haas was looking to expand his motorsport ventures beyond North America and expand into Formula One. Haas and Jones found common ground in their aims at Jones agreed to replace Andretti in the Provimi Veal 200 at the Road America circuit in Wisconsin. The race would contain many former Formula One pilots as well as many of North America's top racing drivers, it would be the perfect opportunity for Jones to make his mark. Jones stunned the IndyCar field by taking pole position on his debut. He seemed on course to win on his IndyCar debut, however due to mechanical trouble he dropped behind Jacques Villeneuve, Sr. and Michael Andretti. Nonetheless Jones finished third, proving he still had what it took to compete among the best.
Jones then participated in one round of the 1985 World Endurance Championship, racing for the Tom Walkinshaw ran Jaguar team at the 1000km of Brands-Hatch. Jones partnered with Jean-Louis Schlesser unfortunately retired early on in the race.
Return to Formula One[]
1985–1986: Haas Lola[]
Shortly after Jones's success in IndyCar with the Haas team, Carl Haas announced that Alan Jones would be making a comeback to Formula One when the Haas outfit made their Formula One debut. The duo had hoped to reignite the success they had when last partnered together in 1978 when Jones won the Can-Am championship for the outfit. Jones felt Haas to be the perfect window of opportunity to gain a foothold back into a competitive seat in Formula One without having to convince the established team's.
The team had strong financial support from sponsor, Beatrice, as well as an established and experienced engineering crew. Teddy Mayer and Tyler Alexander, the former McLaren management team was selected to lead Haas Lola whilst Jones would be re-united with Neil Oatley and Ross Brawn, two engineers that had contributed to a lot of Jones's success in Formula One whilst at Williams. The team had also secured a deal with Ford-Cosworth to pioneer the development of Cosworth's first turbo engine, a replacement to the now obsolete Ford-Cosworth DFV. Whilst the team seemed promising, the first troubles in the team occured when Ford-Cosworth began to experience problems in the development programme in getting the turbo engine ready. As a result, Haas Lola were forced to turn to the somewhat unreliable and underperforming Hart engines in order to make the team's planned debut at the 1985 Italian Grand Prix.
Haas Lola made their Formula One entry at Monza with very little expectations. The team had still had very little running in the Neil Oatley-desgined Lola THL1, with Jones and Haas Lola seeking merely to acquaint themselves with the new Formula One. The Hart engine was also not expected to aid the team in performance. Jones, the lone Lola car entered into the race qualified in a lowly 25th out of 27 runners. After an unflattering start, Jones's Hart engine gave out after six laps and he was forced to retire.
Due to a reschedule of the next race at Spa-Francorchamps, Haas Lola were unable to enter the event due its original schedule earlier in the season which forced the team to miss out. Instead the team spend time, testing and preparing for the next event at Brands Hatch for the European Grand Prix. Jones and Lola make some small progress as Jones finds himself advancing up to 22nd on the grid. It would be another short event for Jones who retired on the 13th lap with radiator problems.
For the next race in South Africa at Kyalami, Jones further improved by putting his Lola eighteenth on the grid. However that night, Jones caught a nasty fever and at the advice of FIA race doctor Sid Watkins, Jones opted to withdraw from the race. The next race which saw the final round of the world championship was of particular importance to Jones. For the first time in history, the Australian Grand Prix would become apart of the Formula One World Championship. Being held on a newly designed street circuit in Adelaide, Jones was once again in the limelight as he was set to be the only Australian competing in the first FIA sanctioned F1 race in Australia.
Jones had the honour of being the first car out onto the track at the Adelaide circuit, FOCA boss Bernie Ecclestone organising it amongst the team's that Jones would conduct a parade lap to mark the beginning of practice. Nonetheless the Lola car, hindered by its under powered Hart engine meant that Jones could only manage 19th on the grid. Jones would not get a chance to prove his worth in the race either, his Lola car breaking down after 20 laps due to electrical faults.
The Haas Lola outfit had competed in four events during 1985. In reality, the races had served as an installation tests ahead of the team's first full Formula One campaign in 1986. The car had proved unreliable and had not been more than a backmarker during the races it had competed in. However for 1986, the outfit hoped to be much more successful, the Lola THL2 was set to debut in the third round of the championship at San Marino. For 1986, Jones received a teammate in fellow F1 veteran and race winner, Patrick Tambay.
The first two rounds of the championship in Brazil and Spain would see the Lola team participating in the old THL1 chassis with the underpowered temporary Hart engine. From Imola onwards, the THL2 successor would race with the Ford Cosworth GBA engine, the engine suppliers first turbo charged engine. At the first round at the Jacarepaguá circuit, Jones was once again well off the pace, qualifying only 19th of the 25 starters. Tambay faired better however and showed promise for the Lola squad by qualifying in thirteenth. Jones lasted only five laps into the race before he suffered an engine failure whilst Tambay also went out on lap 20.
Following the Brazilian race there were questions about whether Jones still had the fitness and energy to compete in Formula One due to him being relatively off the pace in comparison to Tambay despite more time in the car. Jones responded by out-qualifying Tambay at Jerez albeit a lowly 17th and only one place above his teammate. The race only lasted until the first corner when Jones collided with the back of Jonathan Palmer's Zakspeed. Tambay went on to collect the team's first finish, albeit 6 laps down on the leaders.
Haas Lola were hoping for improvements for the third round at Imola. The THL2 chassis would be raced for the first time, the team being rid of the troublesome Hart engines and being powered by the first turbo charged Ford Cosworth engine. Jones was the only one entrusted to the THL2, Tambay would still be in the old THL1 chassis until the next round in Monaco. It was a massive disappointment when Jones only managed 21st on the grid. Tambay on the other hand had given the THL1 its best qualifying performance with eleventh on the grid. Tambay retired early on, Jones on the other hand managed to continue on for 28 laps before overheating issues forced him into retirement. It had not been a successful debut for the THL2 and the team left Imola dejected at the cars pace.
Monte-Carlo was next on the calendar and both Jones and Tambay were left with equal machinery once again, both being in the Lola THL2 Ford Cosworth configuration. Tambay was able to prove that Lola had made gains with its new car and qualified 8th. Jones on the other hand was still clearly struggling and could only manage 18th. The race faired little better when on the second lap he slammed into the barriers at Tabac after a collision with Phillipe Streiff's Tyrrell.
Jones continued to lap uncharacteristically slower than Tambay, his performance in Monaco left many more questions about whether Jones was fit for Formula One. At Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian race, Jones seemed to fair a little better by qualifying in 16th. He still remained off the pace to Tambay who was in tenth. After a first lap collision which saw the elimination of Tambay from the race, Jones was able to benefit by climbing up to seventh position. For the first time since his comeback, Jones was looking competitive. Whilst his Lola did not have the pace of his rivals, Jones was running well on the race. On the seventh lap, he spun dropping him well down the order. However Jones had relatively strong pace and was able to climb to as high as sixth before having to pit. Jones remained in the mid-field for the rest of the race. He notably held up a battle between race leaders Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger as Jones seemingly remained defiant in giving way to the leaders. Jones went unrewarded for his efforts as his car ran out of fuel with three laps remaining.
In Spa, Jones seemed to have finally found his rhythm once again. The next round at Montreal in Canada saw him outqualify Tambay by one place, landing his car in thirteenth position. Tambay would however not start the race due to a suspension failure that pitched him into the barrier where he sustained leg injuries preventing him from taking the race start. Jones ran another solid race in the midfield. However he was once again criticized for holding up the leaders when he once again got in the way of the lead battle, holding up Nigel Mansell once again and the second place man of Keke Rosberg. With most of Jones's main rivals in the midfield retiring, he went on to take his first race finish since his comeback with a tenth place finish, albeit three laps down on the leaders.
For the next round in Detroit, Tambay remained injured and therefore Eddie Cheever replaced him for one race. Cheever, a very quick driver who had never really had a chance in a top car in Formula One had completely outmatched Jones at Detroit where he took tenth place whilst Jones struggled to 21st on the grid. The race would be a disappointment for both drivers, both driver's retring due to a loose wheelnut hindering the stability and security of their cars.
For the French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard, Tambay returned to his seat in the Haas Lola team. He notably outqualifed Jones once again who was languishing in 20th. Jones's race ended after two laps when he crashed into the barriers. Tambay seemed on course for points at his home race before a brake failure occured. So far this season, the Lola team had only scored two finishes, one apiece for Jones and Tambay and no championship points. This was unsettling low for team owner Carl Haas who was expecting to be fighting for victories by now.
Jones hoped for better fortunes at Brands Hatch, a circuit he knew and had performed well at in the past. He was able to put his Lola 14th on the grid. Tambay being three places behind in 17th. Jones once again seemed to perform well, getting himself within the top ten at the start and seemingly be able to hold pace with the leaders. Thanks to retirements, Jones found himself in seventh position and was chasing René Arnoux's Ligier for the final points place when the throttle began to die and he dropped back. On the 22nd lap, Jones pulled out of the race. Jones was visibly angered by the result and his frustration at Haas Lola was beginning to show, considering the team had promised that they would be winning races by now when he joined them. Tambay also had a chance for points before his car let him down. It had been a rather downtrodden week for the Haas Lola outfit.
As the team arrived in Germany, both Jones and Tambay were critical of the performance of the Haas Lola team. Jones in particular was not getting on well with team principal Teddy Mayer. At Hockenheim, Jones qualified 19th whilst Tambay was further up the grid in 14th. Neither Lola car was quick in the race, however there was positives in which both Lola cars made it to the finish. Tambay was in eighth, two laps down whilst Jones was in ninth albeit three laps down on the leaders.
The next race marked the first Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring. The Lola's had remarkably managed to find some pace. Tambay qualified in sixth place, whilst four places behind him was Jones. The two Lola's both had the potential to score points and both Jones and Tambay were on form. However by the halfway distance, Jones's car had retired once again. He had been running in eighth, right behind Tambay. Tambay would go on to finish seventh, the team had once again came close to points without fruition.
For the Austrian round at the Osterreichring, it was another unflaterring qualifying performance by Lola. Tambay was 13th whilst Jones was three places behind in 16th. During the race, Jones made a flying start getting passed Tambay and several other cars. The Osterreichring being notorious for mechanical failures, saw many cars drop out of the race. Despite Lola's terrible reliability record, both cars remarkably were able to keep going. Jones and Tambay found themselves in fourth and fifth place. The two cars despite being two laps down went on to take double points finishes with both driver's scoring the team's first points together. It was a much needed high for the discouraged Haas Lola team.
It was another difficult qualifying at Monza for the Lola duo. Jones was in a lowly 18th whilst Tambay was three places higher in 15th. Jones made another flying start, climbing passed Tambay once again. Tambay would crash out of the race on the second lap, however Jones was able to keep going and made good pace throughout the race. With more retirements, Jones was making time and by the end had climbed to sixth and was in the final points placing. For the second race in a row Jones had finished in the points.
Despite the team's recent upswing, the Haas outfit was to be dealt a major blow. The team's sponsor, Beatrice, had withdrawn its substantial financial support from the team. Like many, Beatrice, had expected to be winning races at this point not fighting for the minor points placings. With the loss of Beatrice's sponsorship, Haas Lola was in financial chaos and their involvement in 1987 was now questionable. Jones and Tambay who had both had a difficult relationship team had both resolved to like, Beatrice, leave the team at the end of the year. Jones resolving that if he could not find a top level drive at Williams, McLaren or Ferrari then he would retire again from Formula One. Racing for the minor teams had simply became too frustrating.
Tambay was once again fastest of the pair at Estoril for the Portuguese race. Tambay was 14th whilst Jones was in 17th. It was to be another miserable race for the pair, Jones's race ending on the tenth lap when he spun out due to brake failure. Tambay also had a poor race, being plagued by mechanical gremlins.
The penultimate round of the championship at Mexico saw Jones have another unflattering qualifying managing only fifteenth in comparison to Tambay's eighth. After suffering a puncture on the 35th lap, Jones retired from the race once again. Tambay also being eliminated in a start line collision.
The final race of the season was held at Jones's home race in Australia at the Adelaide circuit. Jones entered the race knowing that this was likely to be his last grand prix. The race seemed likely to be Jones's last in Formula One. Having already committed to leaving the failed Haas Lola project, Jones had fallen out of the market for F1's top teams who were now looking at younger talent. The race at Adelaide seemed to be a fitting place to conclude Jones's F1 career.
Unfortunately the Lola's were not competitive in Australia. Jones however had the solace of breaking his seven race streak of being outqualified by Tambay. Jones was in 15th with Tambay two places behind him in sixteenth. It would be a quiet end to Jones's Formula One career with him retiring on the 16th lap with engine troubles.
Formula One Retirement[]
Post-Formula One racing[]
1987: Japanese Endurance Racing[]
Without the opportunity to gain a competitive race drive for 1987, Jones made his final retirement from Formula One at the end of 1986 with the Haas Lola team. Jones however remained interested in racing if he could find a top drive in another reputable category. Jones decided to compete in a season of Japanese GT Endurance Racing. Jones joined the Toyota Team TOM's racing a Toyota where he would race three rounds of the Japanese Endurance Championship and two rounds of the World Endurance Championship with former F1 pilot, Geoff Lees.
Jones and Lees did well to score a third place finish at the Suzuka 500 and then followed up with a win in the series at the 1000km at Fuji. In both races, Jones and Lee's Toyota 87C provided to be stern rivals to the leading cars at Porsche. The duo crashed out for the Fuji 500 marking the end of the duo's tenure in Japanese Endurance racing. TOM's Toyota then sent the duo to participate in two rounds of the World Endurance Championship. Jones would partake in his second 24 Hours of Le Mans, following on from 1984. However Jones and Lees entrance with TOM's Toyota into the world endurance series was less successful. The duo retired at Le Mans early on whilst despite hopes of doing well at the team's home track at Fuji Speedway, Jones and Lees had a similarily early retirement in the race.
Despite a season racing for TOM's Toyota which wielded two podiums and a race win, Jones was not content to continue racing in the series. Jones had a frustrating relationship with the Japanese team management. The culture clash between the two made it very difficult for the two to work together. The Japanese engineers at Toyota had a poor understanding of the English language which made it difficult for Jones to communicate with. The frustrating relationship saw Jones announce his departure from the team and Japanese motor racing after only one season.
1988–2002: Australian Touring Cars / V8 Supercars[]
For 1988, Jones returned to domestic racing within Australia. As he had done three years earlier, Jones partnered touring car veteran, Colin Bond in racing for the Caltex team. The duo competed in a Ford Sierra RS500 in Australia's major endurance races. The Ford Sierra often proved to be unreliable, although Jones and Bond enjoyed success in taking a fourth place finish at New Zealand's Wellington 500. While preparing for the renowned Bathurst 500, Tom Walkinshaw running for the rival Holden team protested that all the Ford Sierra entries were illegal. Despite racing under the threat of disqualification, Jones and Bond put in a great performance to finish third in the race. The duo therefore ending the season on a high.
1989 saw very little activity as a race driver for Jones. However he did participate in two major races at the Sandown 500 and once again at the Bathurst 1000. Moving to Tony Longhurst Racing, Jones was hoping for some strong results at the team that had proved the most successful in the previous season. Jones would race alongside Tony Longhurst himself who had won the previous year at Bathurst. However most notably, also joining them in the car was another former Formula One world champion, Denny Hulme who had won the championship for New Zealand in 1967. Unfortunately the partnership didn't bring much success, the trio retired at Sandown and could only manage a fifth place finish at Bathurst.
The following year in 1990, Jones returned to a more active participation in motorsport. Jones continued on with Tony Longhurst racing, participating in events in both endurance racing as well as signing for a full season in the touring car championship. The two Ford Sierra's of Jones and Longhurst struggled in the ATCC, competing only in the midfield. Jones however did have a highlight at Winton Raceway when Jones and Longhurst battled championship leader and eventual winner, Jim Richards, for the lead of the race. Richards went on to win with Longhurst and Jones second and third. Jones had another highlight by finishing fourth at the Adelaide Street Circuit, a race notably supporting the 1990 Australian Grand Prix. In the Endurance races, Jones partnered with Denny Hulme once again for Bathurst. Unfortunately the duo retired mid-race, there was little more success at the Sydney 500 when Jones and race partner Tony Longhurst both retired from the race as well.
After a difficult 1990 campaign, Tony Longhurst disgarded the Ford Sierra and instead upgraded his team to using BMW M3's for the 1991 season. Both Jones and Longhurst were among the quickest cars that season, however the Nissan cars driven by Jim Richards and Mark Scaife continued to reign supreme in the championship. Despite a difficult start to the season which saw Jones off the pace in comparison to Longhurst, he was able to round the season off with a strong finish. Jones finished second to teammate Longhurst in the penultimate round at Lakeside and then at the final round at Oran Park, Jones took another second place finishing behind Skaife's Nissan. Jones finished fourth in the championship, but some way down on the top three of Richards, Skaife and teammate Tony Longhurst who took two wins for the team that year. There was better fortunes at the Sandown 500 when Jones and teammate Peter Fitzgerald finished in second place. Bathurst was a disappointment with Jones and Longhurst both retiring from the race.
1991 had shown potential for the Longhurst team, the duo of Longhurst and Jones continued on with their BMW M3's for 1992, however once again the Nissan's of Skaife and Richards proved too quick and this year the Ford's had began to challenge BMW for the second best manufacturer. Jones endured a difficult season where he struggled in the midfield. In contrast, teammate Longhurst was one of the few cars to be able to challenge the Nissan's that year. Longhurst finished the season in third with a win and three other podiums. Jones could only manage seventh in the standings and only a single third place at the final round at Oran Park. After four seasons at Tony Longhurst Racing, Jones defected to the Ford team who were enjoying success with their new Ford Falcon. Now racing at Peter Jackson Racing, Jones partnered up and coming talent Glenn Seton for the endurance races. Neither Sandown or Bathurst proved a success in which the duo retired in both races. Bathurst sadly saw the death of Jones's friend and fellow Formula One champion, Denny Hulme, who suffered a heart attack whilst in his car.
With the withdrawal of the superior Nissan's for 1993, Jones and teammate Seton had a strong chance for the title in 1993. The BMW M3 was believed to have the edge over its rivals at Holden, Ford and Toyota. As predicted, the BMW's had the immediate advantage and Jones and Seton immediately became the immediate favourites for the title. At the second round of the championship at Symmons Plains Raceway, Jones finally took his first win in Australian touring cars. Two races later, Jones rounded this out with a second win at Phillip Island. Despite the occasional challenge from John Bowe's Ford Falcon, the two BMW's of Seton and Jones were undoubtedly the quickest cars that year. Despite two wins and two third places for Jones that year, teammate Seton dominated the championship that year. The now 47 year old Alan Jones no longer had the outright pace to compete with his much younger teammate in Seton. For the endurance races, the team reverted back to Ford Falcon's as the BMW's were to be only entered by the works entry. Sandown and Bathurst yielded little reward for the duo of Jones and Seton who retired in both races.
For 1994, BMW withdrew from the ATCC forcing Peter Jackson Racing to return to racing with Ford Falcon's. The only manufacturers participating that year were the Holden's and Ford's predicting a much closer championship. Jones proved inconsistent in his performances that year, whilst Glenn Seton was to finish runner up to eventual championship winner Mark Skaife, Jones struggled to match his younger teammate's performances. Although there was a comeback from Jones at the end of the season where he took three podiums before taking a race win at the penultimate round at Barbagello Raceway. Nonetheless Jones could only manage fifth in the championship and there was little success at Sandown and Bathurst where Jones once again retired from both events.
Now competing in his third full season at Peter Jackson Racing, Jones hoped to improve his fortunes in 1995 following a mediocre 1994. However it would be another difficult season for Jones who continued to be outmatched by teammate Glenn Seton. Whilst Seton was once again fighting for the championship, Jones was struggling in the midfield. Jones managed to take two third place finishes, these proved to be the highlights in a difficult season which saw Seton finish second in the championship with four wins. There were now questions about whether the now 49 year old Jones still had what it took to continue competing among the best Australian touring car racers. Jones responded to suggestions that he was too old for racing by taking a second place at Bathurst, Jones and teammate touring car legend, Allan Grice, who at 53 and 49 years of age were keen to prove they still had the pace.
Nonetheless Jones had been dropped by Peter Jackson after a relatively poor 1995 season. Despite being now 50 years old, Jones remained enthusiastic for racing in the ATCC however found that no team was willing to hire him for a full season in the sport. So instead he opted to form his own ATCC team. With sponsorship from Phillip Morris and hiring brothers Jim and Ross Stone from the highly successful Dick Johnson Racing Team, Alan Jones Racing was formed for the 1996 season racing Ford Falcon's. Jones and his small team had quite a successful entry into the 1996 ATCC season. Despite being considered out of the driver market by the other teams, Jones regularly finished in the points as well as taking two second places at Lakeside and Mallala Park. Jones partnered up with Allan Grice once again for Bathurst, however their race ended when Jones's Ford burst into flames.
Due to the Australian government banning tobacco sponsorship at sporting events, Jones lost his Phillip Morris backing in 1997. It would be a difficult season for Jones, the loss of his sponsorship had severely affected the team's financial capability and as a result the team failed to continue to be competitive. There was positives in which Jones managed to score in every single event, nonetheless this was only the minor points placings and he not once achieved the podium. However it would prove to be a good end to the season when Jones partnered with young talent Jason Bright to take third place at the Sandown 500. For Bathurst, Jones for the first time would partner up again with the Williams team since 1981. Williams had expanded its operations beyond Formula One and into the British Touring Car Championship. For 1997, Williams decided to enter Bathurst partnering Jones, the driver who brought them their first championship success in 1980. Jones racing a Renault Laguna hoped for success upon his reunion with Williams, however unfortunately the Renault broke down early on in the race despite a sixth qualifying position.
At the end of 1997, Jones was forced to sell his share of the Alan Jones Racing team to the Stone brothers due to financial difficulty. Now at the twilight of his racing career, Jones seemed content to retire for 1998 until he was handed a lifeline by old friend and former employer Tony Longhurst. Jones rejoined the Longhurst racing team for the first time since 1992, however like his previous outing at Longhurst Racing, team boss and teammate Tony Longhurst consistently outmatched Jones. Jones struggled throughout the season in the lower midfield and went on to finish a lowly 16th in the championship in comparison to Longhurst's sixth. Jones sadly did not have the financial backing to perform in the endurance races such as Sandown or Bathurst.
By 1999, Jones no longer had the financial capability to continue racing in the ATCC, which had now been renamed the V8 Supercar championship. Therefore Jones began to fade quietly into retirement. He continued to race where he could, the only events he participated in that year were the endurance races of the Queensland 500 and the Bathurst 1000. Racing for the lowly Paul Little Racing, Jones finished 17th at the Queensland 500 whilst failing to finish at Bathurst.
As in the previous year, Jones only raced in two events for 2000. Jones once again joining Paul Little Racing for the endurance races at the Queensland 500 and Bathurst 1000. Unfortunately for Jones he was set to retire in both events after performing near the back of the grid.
In 2001, Jones again racing for Paul Little made entrants into the Queensland 500 and Bathurst 1000 once again. Jones managed to finish both events unlike his previous attempts with the Paul Little team. Jones finished 17th at the Queensland 500 whilst at Bathurst he was 15th.
2002 marked Jones's final season in any form of motorsport. Announcing his final retirement, Jones signed for the respected Dick Johnson Racing team in order to complete his motorsport career in the best way possible. It would prove to be a good send off to Jones's racing career in the Queensland 500, Jones finished the race in seventh position. Whilst his final event at Bathurst, Jones completed his career with a fifth place after regularly competing with the front years.
2005: Grand Prix Masters[]
Jones was invited to come out of retirement to compete in the Grand Prix Masters. The GPM was a newly founded series that invited ex-Formula One drivers over the age of 45 to compete in the series. Jones was set to compete in the series among many of his former Formula One rivals. Former F1 racer Christian Danner questioned whether some drivers in particular the 59 year old Jones and his former teammate Patrick Tambay's ability to compete in the series due to their overall lack of fitness. Jones angrily responded by saying 'the closest he has been to a podium is when he passed it on the way to the lavatory'.
Whilst at qualifying for the first race in Kyalami, Jones was notably ten seconds off the pole time set by Nigel Mansell. As a result of this, Jones opted to pull out of the event as well as having severe neck pains. Instead for the two races at Qatar and Silverstone in 2006, Jones served as a commentator for the races alongside commentary legend Murray Walker. The series folded in 2007, ending his commentary duties.
Formula One Commentary[]
1982–1985, 1987–2002: Nine Network[]
In 1982 following his first retirement, Jones was signed by Nine Network to present their Formula One television coverage alongside Darrell Eastlake. The partnership of Jones and Eastlake presenting F1 coverage commentated on by the BBC partnership of Jones's old friend and rival, 1976 champion James Hunt and Murray Walker. Eastlake and Jones would become a memorable and long standing partnership for Australian motorsport fans.
In 1984, Jones presented the documentary Ten Tenths, produced by Nine Network. It provided a detailed analysis on the concept of modern Formula One. Jones temporarily quit his work as co-host for Channel 9's coverage to return to racing in Formula One. Following his second retirement in 1986, Jones returned to his duties as co-host alongside Darrell Eastlake.
The duo presented Formula One coverage for Australia throughout the 1990s until 2002. In its later years, Nine Network was suffering from poor ratings due to the late times that Formula One was being broadcast in Australia. As a result the broadcasting rights were sold to Network Ten for 2003.
2013–present: Network Ten[]
During 2012, Jones made a few guest appearances as a co-host for Network Ten's Formula One coverage. For 2013, Jones replaced Craig Baird as expert commentator for Network Ten's coverage. Jones was joined in hosting the programme alongside former MotoGP racer Daryl Beattie and Greg Rust. At the end of 2013, Beattie left the programme leaving only Jones and Rust to host the programme.
In 2015, Network Ten announced it would only be presenting half the races live due to a deal in shared rights with Fox Sports. Jones was joined by new host Matt White in presenting Formula One coverage. Also in 2015, Jones joined the presenting team on Network TEN's motoring show RPM. Jones was joined on the show by another former Australian Formula One driver, Mark Webber. The duo focusing as the Formula One specialists for the programme.
2005–2009: A1 Team Australia[]
Whilst attending the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix as a spectator, Jones was approached about running the Australian team in the inaugral A1 GP season in 2005. The A1 GP was organised as a World Cup of motorsport in which driver's compete for their country as opposed to their teams. Jones signed as team principal for the Australian team beginning in the inaugral 2005-2006 season. Many of Jones's former rivals such as Niki Lauda (Austria), Emerson Fittipaldi (Brazil), Jan Lammers (Netherlands) and Piercarlo Ghinzani (Italy) served as team principals for their respective countries.
During his time as team principal Jones oversaw the Australian outfits endeavours in A1GP as well as serving as a driver mentor for some of Australia's then up and coming talents such as Ryan Briscoe, Will Power and Will Davison. In 2005, controversy surrounded Jones when he signed his adopted son, Christian, as a driver for the team. Jones defended the decision of signing his son due to the fact he had recently won the Asian Formula 3 Championship. However after only two races the younger Jones was replaced due to poor form.
For the 2007–2008 season, Jones desperately tried to sign Daniel Ricciardo as a driver for the Australian team after a strong showing at a Silverstone test. Jones was blocked from signing Ricciardo by Helmut Marko who wanted to keep Ricciardo in the Red Bull young driver programme.
In the 2008–2009 season, Team Australia gained its best finish in the series finishing in the top ten with an eighth place finish in the championship standings. However much to Jones's disappointment, the series was cancelled at the end of the season. Jones blaming poor management by series organiser, Tony Teixeira as the reason for the series withdrawal.
2010–present: FIA Formula One Steward[]
In 2010 it was announced that the stewards panel in overseeing the Formula One grand prix's would be joined by an ex-racing driver who would be there to analyse race situations from a racer's perspective before coming to a conclusion on race decisions.
Jones's first service as a race steward was at the 2010 Korean Grand Prix. Steward decisions in this race was handing Heikki Kovalainen a ten second stop and go penalty for speeding in the pit-lane. Jones's next steward service was at the 2011 Japanese Grand Prix, the same race Sebastian Vettel won his second world title. Since then Jones has served as a steward at the 2012 Indian Grand Prix, 2013 Spanish Grand Prix and 2014 Singapore Grand Prix.

Below is another instance of notification -- in fact, the THIRTIETH KNOWN VICTIM . . . and there are obviously MANY more.
I tried to post in the blog but i am not a member.
When I got home today, I saw where my yahoo account was hacked or compromised. I only saw where they sent out over 600 spam mails.
Two of the hacks came from the same farm house that you are discussing here and they used two mobile devices. | {

E-stim in Physical Therapy: What Does It Do?
Zapped. Nuked. Cooked. Fried. Besides all these fun words you can use to describe yourself after a treatment of electrical stimulation, or "E-stim," in therapy, what are the physiological benefits of being hooked up to this odd machine that makes you feel tingly? What is it actually doing within your body?
If you had a lot of soft tissue work done in our session (yes, those infamous thumbs!), you will likely be getting a setting called "Pre-mod." This setting helps to reinforce what we worked on manually by increasing blood flow to the area, moving fluid out of the area (decrease swelling), and relaxing the muscle fibers by providing a gentle sensory stimulus.
If you have a very acute injury, such as a sprained ankle or a fresh surgery, we will likely use an E-stim setting called "Interferential current." A current is sent between the electrodes to interfere with the natural pain signals your body is sending to your brain. This acts to "turn off" those pain signals and give you the sensation of pain relief. This is the same general idea behind a form of E-stim called "TENS," which you may have heard of.
If you have a very weak muscle that is having trouble activating, such as your quad after an ACL reconstruction, we will use a setting called "Russian." This setting stimulates your muscle fibers to contract—your quad will fire without you even trying! Besides being really cool to watch, this helps to retrain your nerves and muscles to communicate appropriately to regain your ability to fire that muscle on your own.
Hopefully this gives you a clearer picture of how those little pads work and why we use them in therapy. As you can see, E-stim serves as a useful adjunct to your treatment, but cannot resolve your problems on its own. High quality treatment consists of a well-rounded plan of hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise prescription, neuromuscular re-education, and modalities like E-stim. | {

No. 9 Kentucky Wraps Up Regular Season with Win Over Illinois State
by Mike Scholze
NORMAL, Ill. – The No. 9 Kentucky (11-4, 3-4 SEC) gymnastics team ended the season with a win after taking down Illinois State (3-13), 196.025 – 193.100, on Wednesday night inside Redbird Arena.
"Tonight was not how we envisioned finishing the regular season," head coach Tim Garrison said. "There were some individual highlights, but as a team we were not as sharp. Our lack of energy and lackluster performance falls completely on my shoulders. This is a great team and I need to do a better job preparing them.
Junior Alex Hyland won the all-around with a 39.350 in the meet. Sophomore Mollie Korth finished third with a 38.700.
"I felt good about the all-around today," Hyland said. "The season has flown by. Today was okay for us today but not our best. There were a lot of great things today but there's still work to do. This team has a lot of fight in them and we are prepared to take on the postseason. I'm ready to get back in the gym and work some more."
Kentucky started on the bars, posting a 49.075. Junior Katrina Coca earned the event win after a 9.85. Senior Katie Carlisle, after starting things off on the apparatus, went 9.825. Freshman Ella Warren went 9.825 while Hyland posted a 9.8. Junior Katie Stuart rounded out the scoring with a 9.775.
On vault, Kentucky went 48.975. Stuart and Korth spilt the vault crown with Gabriele Cooke after each posted a 9.825. Hyland put up a 9.8, while junior Danaea Davis had a 9.775. Junior Sidney Dukes rounded out the scoring with a 9.75.
Kentucky's best event again was on the floor, where UK had a 49.275. Dukes won an outright floor title with a 9.9, just short of her career best. Hyland finished in second with a 9.875 Warren placed third after a 9.85. Senior Cori Rechenmacher scored a 9.825, while Korth rounded out the floor scoring with a 9.825 of her own. Sophomore Hailey Poland was the sixth scoring Wildcat with a 9.8.
UK finished on the beam with a 48.7, but four Wildcats shared the beam crown. Korth, Poland, Dukes and Hyland all posted scores of 9.875s to share the title. Warren was the other Wildcat to score with a 9.2.
Kentucky's back in action on March 24 for the SEC Championships in St. Louis at the Chaifetz Arena. Session one will take place at 3 p.m. live on SEC Network, while session two will take place at 7 p.m. on ESPN2 Official seedings for the SEC Championships will be released this weekend. Tickets for the events can be found here.

400 companies with 38.000 employees in total, mainly from the metalworking- and electrical engineering industries but also from others, are organized in the AGV NORD (General association of businesses in North Germany). It is NORDMETALL's sister organization with the difference that the AGV NORD member companies are not be bound to accord to collective agreements. The AGV NORD covers the same regional area as NORDMETALL, uses the same offices and staff and offers the same services to its members except for tariff matters.
The employers` federation, NORDMETALL, is a consortium of 250 companies from the metal and electrical industries in Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Schleswig-Holstein and northern Lower Saxony. The federation represents the interests of a key industry in the north with 110,000 employees vis a vis the trade unions, politics, administration and the media. With the collective labour agreements NORDMETALL is able to shape labour relations and conditions. In addition the federation offers legal advice and consultancy in a variety of HR matters to its members. The "NORDMETALL foundation" supports numerous scientific, cultural and social work projects. Education is a particularly strong focal point for the federation and projects for kindergardens, schools, management, trainers and workers` councils are on offer throughout the north.
The Confederation of German Trade Unions (DGB) is the umbrella organization of eight affiliated member unions and represents the interests of about 6.2 million members in Germany. The DGB represents the German trade union movement in dealing with the government authorities at federal state and national level, the political parties, the employers' organizations and other social or economic groups and NGO's within the society. The DGB is a member of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
The DGB Nord (Northern Germany) represents round about 460,000 trade union members in the federal states of Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The DGB North is member of the Baltic Sea Trade Union Network (BASTUN).
The DGB coordinates joint demands, themes and campaigns for it 8 member unions. The DGB itself is not directly involved in collective bargaining and cannot conclude pay agreements.
The DGB and the member unions have no allegiance to political parties or religious denominations and they are politically independent but not neutral. They fight for democracy and human rights and are opposed to political extremism.
The trade unions have their foundations in the world of work. Unemployed people, trainees and students can also join a union if they wish.
Every four years 100 delegates representing all the affiliated trade unions in the DGB Northern Germany meet for the Regional DGB Congress. They take strategic decisions for the following years and elect the president and his deputy.
The DGB has equal entitlement to representation in the executive bodies for the self-regulation of social insurance funds – compulsory health, accident and pension insurance funds – as well as in the Federal Office of Employment. | {

Champlain Valley Film Series to Show THE UNLOVED in New Alternative Film Series
April 13, 2018 By Whallonsburg Grange Hall Leave a Comment
The Champlain Valley Film Series will present the film The Unloved on Sunday, April 22, at 4:00 p.m. at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall.
Academy Award nominated actress Samantha Morton's directorial debut, this fierce, semi-autobiographical film captures the subtle magic and melancholy of childhood told from the perspective of a girl torn between a broken family and an inept social system, adrift in a cold, uncaring human world. Sustained by her faith and the beauty of the natural world, Lucy's inner strength and heart are reflected in the film's images of nature, suffused with ardent intensity. Morton is a modern day inheritor of the British poetic visionary tradition of William Blake.
This film is a poignant feature among a new alternative film series called "Adventures in Film: Beyond the Mainstream" which has brought several rare, experimental and classic films to the area.
Tickets are $5. Conversation and snacks to follow the film.

Paul installed a Mitsubishi compressor on my exterior wall and two blower units inside my home. The compressor was defective from day one - it was extremely loud and shook the house keeping my kids and us awake at night so we had to keep it off in the evenings. It's operating volume was well above the highest operating decible level range as per the technical specs published by Mitsubishi for this model. Mistubishi's Canadian distributor did their own inspection, said this was normal and said they'd put some vibration-dampening pads on the mounting bracket. Not a solution I wanted to entertain after dropping close to $10K. The dampeners helped a bit but bottom line I'm not happy paying that much for a faulty unit. The point of the story is Paul took it upon himself to purchase a new compressor out of pocket, installed it free of charge and took up the fight with Mitsubishi so I didn't have to. To me that's stellar service. I would highly recommend Paul - he knows his products and clearly cares about his clients and their satisfaction. Thanks Paul!
The gentleman who came to repair the unit I have was prompt, knowledgeable and knew the units inside and out. Paul did an excellent job servicing the 3 units, and returned the next day, in very cold weather to get up on my roof and service that unit. Maintenance is key to the long life of these units and Paul explained everything he was doing, gave me tips on maintaining the GE12NA units that I have. All are working excellent and the heat flows wonderfully now. Thank you Ductless Canada!
Update - Paul did follow up with me and I imagine this was just a front desk problem. I'm very happy with the work they originally did and feel way better now that they have contacted me. Original posting - My new AC (installed 2015) stopped working 6 days ago. My phone messages (day 1, day 3, day 6) and 2 on-line contact requests have not been responded to. I've called someone else, and they came today.
Had numerous quotes from several other companies with fancy trucks and handouts, but each company could only offer one specific brand of ductless air system. My daughter told me about Ductless.ca who she heard good things about from her friends.
Boy was she right on the money! This company has great expertise, a wealth of knowledge about the various ductless systems available (any of which they could provide as desired) , excellent and responsive customer service and the longest warranty of them all. On the job they took great pains to ensure the hoses were covered with flashing that matched the house, leaving them tidy and neat.
One-day installation by expert installers with total clean-up at the end of the job. I would highly recommend this Company to anyone looking for a reliable heating or air-conditioning company.
We had irregular supply of hot water in our condo unit. To get hot water, we would have to start multiple taps, and waste so much water to get some hot water. I contacted ductless, left a message with someone from the company, and received a call back from Paul within 24 hours. He heard out my problem, and suggested I contact someone else he knows, Max, who knows how to deal with Baxi Boilers. When I explained my problem to Max he immediately said what he thought was the problem and brought a spare part. He came and explained the problem to us. Showed us on the machine what should be happening and what shouldnt. He then proceeded to change the part and showed us the damaged part. As soon as he replaced the part, we have hot water coming smoothly from all our taps. I had spoke to numerous companies who were unable to even understand the problem. My superintendent had said that very few people know how to deal with the Baxi Luna 3 Comfort Boilers. Paul is a professional who is there to solve you problem, and recommend you to a solution. Thank you Paul and thank you Max!
We had Ductless install two of the Mitsubishi slim units in our old victorian home this past June. The units are excellent as they are quiet and did a thorough job of cooling off the house all summer with the extreme hot days we had.
Paul was delightful to work with. He was responsive, professional and did excellent work. I would highly recommend their services and products.
Called their number on July 4th and gave an agent my contact info. Didn't hear back. Called again in Juky 7th and asked the agen why I hadn't heard back from anyone. They were clueless. I asked to speak to someone else. They informed name that they were just antbirds arty answering service and there was no way to actually contact the company directly. So I gave her my contact information again and asked her to make it urgent. It is now July 17 and still haven't hea d from anyone. Needless to say I've gone with another company and have already had the AC installed! Pretty bad when a company won't even call you back.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with us. This year's summer has been unprecedented so we're very busy and even though we try to return all of our calls, a few get missed. We get hundreds of phone calls every day, as such we sometimes utilize an answering service to help us with the demand. Emailing us through [email protected] would have received a response from us directly on the days we used the answering service. Once again we apologize. | {

Understanding and consulting communities before initiatives is key to raising awareness and engaging them in long-term solutions to rabies control. A collaborative team from the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, Glasgow University and Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania was asked to deliver rabies prevention messages to children in a group of rural Tanzanian villages.
They hoped to reach some of the young people in schools, but previous research had identified that many young people were not at school. How could this latter group best be engaged?
The researchers needed to find out more about the community, and the people in it who could reach the young people and influence them in the future. They also needed to find a way to measure whether anything had changed as a result of the initiative. They therefore designed a multi-stage pre-intervention study to consult the community through interactive workshops, household surveys and knowledge, attitudes and practice surveys.
An initial stakeholder analysis identified potential collaborators in the villages and prioritised them in terms of their sustained influence on the young people the researchers wanted to reach. These people were invited to meetings, but were first asked some questions about how they viewed dog bites and rabies.
They were then given some basic information about rabies prevention, and took part in interactive activities to help find out how, when and where to reach the out-of-school young people, how best to word the messages for them and which media would be most feasible and effective. After the workshop, the participants were asked the same questions as they were asked at the beginning, to look at how their knowledge and attitude towards rabies had changed. This would be repeated a year later, to see how much things had changed in the village in terms of rabies prevention.
At this point, the researchers were able to work with the community to design the intervention, and had engaged a cross-section of key people to help them take it forward. This consultation stage can take longer than the awareness events themselves, but it can be seen as an essential tool in making the messages more effective and sustainable, encouraging the community as a whole to take part ownership of rabies prevention, and ultimately linking community engagement to regional and national measures. | {

"The Qur'an is the original scripture – same language, letters and recitation. No place for human interpretation or corrupted translation …If you pick up a copy of a Qur'an from any home around the world I doubt you will even find a difference between them."
A friend sent me this note. He was comparing the text of the Holy Qur'an with that of the Injil/Bible. Twenty-four thousand ancient manuscripts of the Injil exist and they do have minor variations, where just a few words vary. Though all themes and ideas are the same across all 24000 manuscripts, including the theme of Isa al Masih ransoming us in his death and resurrection, the claim is often made, as above, that there has been no variation in the Qur'an. This is seen as the Qur'an's superiority over the Bible, and evidence of its miraculous protection. But what do the hadiths tell us about the formation and compilation of the Qur'an?
Formation of Quran from Prophet to Caliphs
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and brought him to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to release him and asked Hisham to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, "It was revealed in this way." He then asked me to recite it. When I recited it, he said, "It was revealed in this way. The Qur'an has been revealed in seven different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you." (Sahih al-Bukhari 2419; Book 44, Hadith 9)
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud:
I heard a person reciting a (Qur'anic) Verse in a certain way, and I had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting the same Verse in a different way. So I took him to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him of that but I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face, and then he said, "Both of you are correct, so don't differ, for the nations before you differed, so they were destroyed." (al-Bukhari 3476; Book 60, Hadith 143)
These two clearly tell us that during the Prophet Mohamed's (PBUH) lifetime there were several variant versions of the Qur'an's recitation that were used and approved by Mohamed (PBUH). So what happened after his death?
Abu Bakr and Qur'an
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq sent for me when the people of Yamama had been killed (i.e., a number of the Prophet's Companions who fought against Musailima). (I went to him) and found `Umar bin Al- Khattab sitting with him. Abu Bakr then said (to me), "`Umar has come to me and said: "Casualties were heavy among the Qurra' of the Qur'an (i.e. those who knew the Qur'an by heart) on the day of the Battle of Yamama, and I am afraid that more heavy casualties may take place among the Qurra' on other battlefields, whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I suggest, you (Abu Bakr) order that the Qur'an be "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?"collected." I said to `Umar, `Umar said, "By Allah, that is a good project." `Umar kept on urging me to accept his proposal till Allah opened my chest for it and I began to realize the good in the idea which `Umar had realized." Then Abu Bakr said (to me). 'You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). So you should search for (the fragmentary scripts of) the Qur'an and collect it in one book." By Allah If they had ordered me to shift one of the mountains, it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said to Abu Bakr, "How will you do something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do?" Abu Bakr replied, "By Allah, it is a good project." Abu Bakr kept on urging me to accept his idea until Allah opened my chest for what He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and `Umar. So I started looking for the Qur'an and collecting it from (what was written on) palme stalks, thin white stones and also from the men who knew it by heart, till I found the last Verse of Surat at-Tauba (Repentance) with Abi Khuzaima Al-Ansari, and I did not find it with anybody other than him. The Verse is: 'Verily there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty..(till the end of Surat-Baraa' (at-Tauba) (9.128-129). Then the complete manuscripts (copy) of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till he died, then with `Umar till the end of his life, and then with Hafsa, the daughter of `Umar. (al-Bukhari 4986; Book 66, Hadith 8)
This was when Abu Bakr was caliph, directly succeeding Mohamed (PBUH). It tells us that Mohamed (PBUH) had never collected the Qur'an into a standard text or given any indication that such a thing should be done. With heavy battle casualties amongst those who knew the Qur'an by memory, Abu Bakr and Umar (he became the 2nd Caliph) persuaded Zaid to start to collect a Qur'an from diverse sources. Zaid was initially reluctant because Mohamed (PBUH) had never indicated a need to standardize the text. He had trusted several of his companions to teach the Qur'an to their followers as the following hadith tells us.
Narrated Masriq:
`Abdullah bin `Amr mentioned `Abdullah bin Masud and said, "I shall ever love that man, for I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'Take (learn) the Qur'an from four: `Abdullah bin Masud, Salim, Mu`adh and Ubai bin Ka`b.' "
(al-Bukhari 4999; Book 66, Hadith 21)
However, after the Prophet's (PBUH) death disagreements arose between the companions because of these variant recitations. The hadith below tells of a disagreement over Surah 92:1-3 (Al-Layl)
Narrated Ibrahim:
The companions of `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) came to Abu Darda', (and before they arrived at his home), he looked for them and found them. Then he asked them,: 'Who among you can recite (Qur'an) as `Abdullah recites it?" They replied, "All of us." He asked, "Who among you knows it by heart?" They pointed at 'Alqama. Then he asked Alqama. "How did you hear `Abdullah bin Mas`ud reciting Surat Al-Lail (The Night)?" Alqama recited: 'By the male and the female.' Abu Ad-Darda said, "I testify that I heard me Prophet reciting it likewise, but these people want me to recite it:– 'And by Him Who created male and female.' but by Allah, I will not follow them."
Bukhari Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 468
Today's Qur'an has the 2nd reading for Surah al-Layl 92:3. Interestingly Abdullah, who is one of the four in the previous hadith especially singled out by the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) as an authority on Qur'anic recitation, and Abu Ad-Darda used a different recitation for this verse and were not willing to follow the others.
The following hadith shows that whole regions of the Islamic empire were following different recitations, to the extent that one could verify where someone came from by what recitation he used. In the case below, the Iraqis of Kufa were following Abdullah bin Mas'ud's recitation of Surah 92:1-3.
'Alqama reported:
I met Abu Darda', and he said to me: To which country do you belong? I said: I am one of the people of Iraq. He again said: To which city? I replied: City of Kufa. He again said: Do you recite according to the recitation of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud? I said: Yes. He said: Recite this verse (By the night when it covers) So I recited it: (By the night when it covers, and the day when it shines, and the creating of the male and the female). He laughed and said: I have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reciting like this.
Muslim Book 6, Hadith 346
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
`Umar said, Ubai was the best of us in the recitation (of the Qur'an) yet we leave some of what he recites.' Ubai says, 'I have taken it from the mouth of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and will not leave for anything whatever." But Allah said "None of Our Revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten but We substitute something better or similar." 2.106
Bukhari. Book 66, Hadith 27
Though Ubai was considered 'the best' in reciting the Qur'an (He was one of those noted previously by Mohamed-PBUH), others in the community left out some of what he recited. There was disagreement over what was to be abrogated and what was not. Disagreements on variant readings and abrogation were causing tensions. We see in the hadith below how this problem was solved.
Caliph Uthman and Quran
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman came to `Uthman at the time when the people of Sham and the people of Iraq were Waging war to conquer Arminya and Adharbijan. Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) differences in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to `Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they differ about the Book (Qur'an) as Jews and the Christians did before." So `Uthman sent a message to Hafsa saying, "Send us the manuscripts of the Qur'an so that we may compile the Qur'anic materials in perfect copies and return the manuscripts to you." Hafsa sent it to `Uthman. `Uthman then ordered Zaid bin Thabit, `Abdullah bin AzZubair, Sa`id bin Al-As and `AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to rewrite the manuscripts in perfect copies. `Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then write it in the dialect of Quraish, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue." They did so, and when they had written many copies, `Uthman returned the original manuscripts to Hafsa. `Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Qur'anic materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt.
al-Bukhari 4987; Book 66, Hadith 9
This is why there are no variant readings today. It was not because the prophet Mohamed (PBUH) only received or used one recitation (he did not, he used seven), nor because he compiled an authoritative Qur'an. He did not. In fact, if you search for 'different recitations' in online sunnah there are 61 hadiths that discuss different recitations of Qur'an. Today's Qur'an is non-variant because Uthman (3rd caliph) took one of the readings, edited it, and burned all the other recitations. The following hadiths show how this editing lives on in today's Qur'an.
`Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, "We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book," and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." `Umar added, "Surely Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."
al-Bukhari 6829; Book 86, Hadith 56
… Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed the Holy Book to him, and among what Allah revealed, was the Verse of the Rajam (the stoning of married person (male & female) who commits illegal sexual intercourse, and we did recite this Verse and understood and memorized it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him….
Bukhari Book 86, Hadith 57
Today there is no verse about stoning (Rajam) for adultery in the Qur'an. It was thus edited out.
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair: I said to 'Uthman, "This Verse which is in Surat-al-Baqara: "Those of you who die and leave widows behind…without turning them out." has been abrogated by another Verse. Why then do you write it (in the Qur'an)?" 'Uthman said. "Leave it (where it is), …, for I will not shift anything of it (i.e. the Quran) from its original position." Bukhari Vol 6, Book 60, No 60:
Here we see a disagreement between Uthman and Ibn Az-Zubair over whether abrogation of a verse meant it should or should not be kept in the Qur'an. Uthman had his way and so this verse is in the Qur'an today. But there was controversy about it.
Uthman and the Heading for Surah 9 (At Tawbah)
Narrated Uthman ibn Affan:
Yazid al-Farisi said: I heard Ibn Abbas say: I asked Uthman ibn Affan: What moved you to put the (Surah) al-Bara'ah which belongs to the mi'in (surahs) (containing one hundred verses) and the (Surah) al-Anfal which belongs to the mathani (Surahs) in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (the first long surah or chapters of the Qur'an), and you did not write "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" between them?
Uthman replied: When the verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ), he called someone to write them down for him and said to him: Put this verse in the surah in which such and such has been mentioned; and when one or two verses were revealed, he used to say similarly (regarding them). (Surah) al-Anfal is the first surah that was revealed at Medina, and (Surah) al-Bara'ah was revealed last in the Qur'an, and its contents were similar to those of al-Anfal. I, therefore, thought that it was a part of al-Anfal. Hence I put them in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (the seven lengthy surahs), and I did not write "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" between them.
Dawud; Book 2, Hadith 396
Surah 9 (at Tawbah) is the only Surah in the Qur'an that does not begin with 'In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful'. The hadith explains why. Uthman thought that Surah 9 was part of Surah 8 since the material was similar. From the questioning we can see that this was controversial within the early Muslim community. The next hadith shows the reaction of one of the Companions to Uthman's Qur'an.
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that he (said to his companions to conceal their copies of the Qur'an) and further said:
He who conceals anything he shall have to bring that which he had concealed on the Day of judgment, and then said: After whose mode of recitation you command me to recite? I in fact recited before AIlah's Messenger (ﷺ) more than seventy chapters of the Qur'an and the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) know it that I have better understanding of the Book of Allah (than they do), and if I were to know that someone had better understanding than I, I would have gone to him. Shaqiq said: I sat in the company of the Companions of Mubkmmad (ﷺ) but I did not hear anyone having rejected that (that is, his recitation) or finding fault with it.
Sahih Muslim; Book 44, Hadith 162
Several things stand out:
Abdullah b. Masud tells his followers to hide their Qur'ans for some reason.
He seems to have been commanded by someone to use a different recitation. This is best understood as referring to the time when Uthman standardized his version of the Qur'an.
Ibn Mas'ud's objection to changing the way he recited the Qur'an was that: I (Mas'ud) have better understanding of the Book
Shaqiq said that the Companions of Muhammad did not disagree with Mas'ud.
Textual versions of Qur'an today
Following Uthman's edition, however, variant readings still existed. In fact, it seems that in 4th century after the Prophet [PBUH] there was a sanctioned return to different readings. So though today the major Arab textual reading is the Hafs (or Hofs), there is also the Warsh, used mostly in North Africa, Al-Duri, used mostly in West Africa and still others. The difference between these readings are mostly in spelling and some slight wording variations, usually without any affect on meaning, but with some differences that do have an affect on meaning only in the immediate context but not in wider thought.
So there is a choice as to what version of the Qur'an to use.
We have learned that there are variant Arabic readings of the Qur'an today, and it went through an editing and selection process after the death of the prophet Mohamed (PBUH). The reason that there is such little variation in the Qur'anic text today is because all other text variants were burned at that time. The Quran has no alternate reading footnotes, not because it had no alternate readings, but because they were destroyed. Uthman probably produced a good recitation of the Qur'an, but it was not the only one, and it was not made without controversy. Thus the widely accepted idea of the Qur'an being "original scripture – same language, letters and recitation. No place for human interpretation" is incorrect. Though the Bible and Qur'an both have variant readings, they also both have strong manuscript evidence indicating that the text as it is today is close to the original. Both can give us a trustworthy representation of the original. Many are distracted from seeking to understand the message of the Books by having an undue veneration for the mode of preservation of the Qur'an and an undue disdain for the mode of preservation of the Bible. We would be better off focusing on understanding the Books. That was the reason they were given in the first place. A good place to start is with Adam.

The Bible, or al kitab, is not usually read in its original languages Hebrew & Greek). This is not because it is not available in these languages. It is, and scholars study Greek and Hebrew at university for the purpose of being able to read and study the Bible in the original languages. This is often the way that professional teachers of the Bible study it. But regular believers do not generally read or study the Bible in its original languages, and instead read it in a translation of their native language. Therefore, the Bible is not often seen in its original languages, leading some to think that the original languages have been lost, and others think that the translation process has led to corruption. Before jumping to these conclusions, it is better first to understand the process of translation of al kitab, or the Bible. That is what we will do in this article.
Translation vs. Transliteration
We need to first understand some basics of translation. Translators sometimes choose to translate by similar sound rather than by meaning, especially when it comes to names or titles. This is known as transliteration. The figure below illustrates the difference between translation and transliteration. From Arabic you can choose two ways to bring the word for 'God' into English. You can translate by meaning which gives 'God' or you can transliterate by sound to get 'Allah'.
This uses the term 'God' to illustrate how we can translate or transliterate from one language to another
With the increased exchange between English and Arabic in recent years, the term 'Allah' has become a recognized word in the English language to mean God. There is no absolute 'right' or 'wrong' in the choice of translation or transliteration for titles and key words. The choice depends on how well the term is accepted or understood in the receiver language.
The Septuagint
The first translation of the Bible was when the Hebrew Old Testament (= Taurat & Zabur) was translated into Greek about 250BC. This translation is known as the Septuagint (or LXX) and it was very influential. Since the New Testament was written in Greek, the many quotations of the Old Testament were taken from the Greek Septuagint.
Translation & Transliteration in the Septuagint
The figure below shows how all this impacts modern-day Bibles where translation stages are shown in quadrants.
This shows the translation process of the Bible (al kitab) to modern language
The original Hebrew Old Testament (Taurat & Zabur) is in quadrant #1 and is accessible today in the Masoretic text and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Because the Septuagint was a Hebrew –> Greek translation it is shown as an arrow going from quadrant #1 to #2. The New Testament was itself originally written in Greek, so this means #2 contains both Old and New Testaments. In the bottom half (#3) is a modern language translation of the Bible (eg English). To get there the Old Testament is translated from the original Hebrew (1 -> 3) and the New Testament is translated from the Greek (2 -> 3). The translators must decide on transliteration or translation of names and titles as explained previously. This is illustrated with the green arrows labeled transliterate and translate, showing that the translators can take either approach.
The Septuagint witness on the Question of Corruption of Bible
Since the Septuagint was translated from the Hebrew around 250 BC we can see (if we reverse translate the Greek back to Hebrew) what these translators had in their Hebrew manuscripts that they translated from. Since these texts are almost identical this shows that the text of the Old Testament has not changed since at least 250 BC. The Septuagint was read across the Middle East and Mediterranean for hundreds of years, by Jews, Christians, and even pagans – and even today many in the Middle East still use it. If someone (Christians, Jews or someone else) changed the Old Testament and corrupted it, then the Septuagint would be different from the Hebrew text. But they are essentially the same.
Similarly, if for example someone in Alexandria, Egypt, had corrupted the Septuagint itself then the Septuagint manuscript copies in Alexandria would be different from the other Septuagint manuscripts across the Middle East and Mediterranean. But they are the same. So the data tells us without any contradiction that the Old Testament has not been corrupted.
The Septuagint in Translation
The Septuagint is also used to help with modern translation. Translation scholars use the Septuagint to this very day to help them translate some of the more difficult passages of the Old Testament. Greek is very well understood and in some passages where the Hebrew is difficult translators can see how the Septuagint translators understood these obscure passages 2250 years ago.
Understanding translation/transliteration and the Septuagint help us understand where the terms 'Christ', 'Messiah', and 'Masih' come from as these terms relate to Isa (or Jesus – PBUH), which we need to grasp if we are to understand the message of the Injil. We look at this in our next article.

"Why should I even consider the books of the Bible? It was written so long ago, and has had so many translations and revisions done to it – I have heard that its original message was changed over time." I have heard questions and statements like this many times about the books of the Taurat, Zabur and Injil that make up al Kitab or the Bible.
This question is very important and is based on what we have heard about al Kitab/the Bible. After all, it was written two thousand plus years ago. For most of this time there has been no printing press, photocopy machines or publishing companies. So the original manuscripts were copied by hand, generation after generation, as languages died out and new ones arose, as empires crumbled and new ones were born. Since the original manuscripts are no longer in existence how do we know that what we read today in al Kitab (the Bible) is what the original prophets actually wrote long ago? Apart from religion, are there any scientific or rational reasons to know whether what we read today is corrupted or not?
Basic Principles in Textual Criticism
Many who ask this do not realize there is a scientific discipline, known as textual criticism, by which we can answer these questions. And because it is a scientific discipline it applies to any ancient writing. This article will give the two main principles used in textual criticism and then apply them to the Bible. To do so we start with this figure which illustrates the process by which any ancient writing is preserved over time so that we can still read it today.
A timeline showing how all ancient books come to us today
This diagram shows an example of a book written 500 BC. This original however does not last indefinitely, so before it decays, is lost, or destroyed, a manuscript (MSS) copy of it is made (1st copy). A professional class of people called scribes did the copying work. As the years advance, copies are made of the copy (2nd copy & 3rd copy). At some point a copy is preserved so that it is in existence (extant) today (3rd copy). In our example diagram this extant copy was made in 500 AD. This means that the earliest that we can know of the state of the book is only from 500 AD onwards. Therefore the period from 500 BC to 500 AD (labeled x in the diagram) is the period where we cannot make any copy checks since all manuscripts from this period have disappeared. For example, if corruptions occurred when the 2nd copy was made from the 1st copy, we would not be able to detect them as neither of these documents are available to compare against each other. This time period before the existing copies (the period x) is thus the interval of textual uncertainty – where corruption could have happened. Therefore, the first principle of textual criticism is that the shorter this interval x is the more confidence we can place in the correct preservation of the document to our time, since the period of uncertainty is reduced.
Of course, usually more that one manuscript copy of a document exists today. Suppose we have two manuscript copies and in the same section of each of them is the following phrase (Of course it would not be in English, but I use English to explain the principle):
With few manuscipts (MSS) the textual base is small
This shows a variant reading (one says 'Joan' and the other says 'John') but with only a few manuscripts it is difficult to determine which is the one in error.
The original author had either been writing about Joan or about John, and the other of these manuscripts has an error. The question is – Which one has the error? From the available evidence it is very difficult to decide.
Now suppose we found two more manuscript copies of the same work, as shown below:
Now we have four manuscripts and it is easier to see which one has the error
Now it is easier to decide which manuscript has the error. It is more likely that the error occurs once, rather than the same error repeated three times, so it is likely that MSS #2 has the copy error, and the author was writing about Joan, not John. 'John' is the corruption.
This simple example illustrates the second principle in textual criticism: The more manuscripts that exist today the easier it is to detect & correct errors and know what the original said.
Textual Criticism of Historical books
So now we have two principles that of scientific textual criticism that are used to decide the textual reliability of any old book: 1) measuring the time between original writing and earliest existing manuscript copies, and 2) counting the number of existing manuscript copies. Since these principles apply to all ancient writing we can apply them to both the Bible as well as other ancient books, as done in the tables below (Taken from McDowell, J. Evidence That Demands a Verdict. 1979. p. 42-48).

These writers represent the major classical writers of ancient times – the writings that have shaped the development of modern civilization. On average, they are passed down to us by 10-100 manuscripts that are preserved starting only about 1000 years after the original was written.

Summary of Textual Criticism of Bible/al Kitab
The number of New Testament manuscripts is so vast that it would be impossible to list them all in a table. As one scholar who spent years studying this issue states:
"We have more than 24000 MSS copies of portions of the New Testament in existence today… No other document of antiquity even begins to approach such numbers and attestation. In comparison, the ILIAD by Homer is second with 643 MSS that still survive" (McDowell, J. Evidence That Demands a Verdict. 1979. p. 40)
A leading scholar at the British Museum agrees with this:
"Scholars are satisfied that they possess substantially the true text of the principal Greek and Roman writers … yet our knowledge of their writings depends on a mere handful of MSS whereas the MSS of the New Testament are counted by … thousands" Kenyon, F.G. (former director of British Museum) Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts. 1941 p.23
I own a book about the earliest New Testament documents. It starts with:
"This book provides transcriptions of 69 of the earliest New Testament manuscripts…dated from early 2nd century to beginning of the 4th (100-300AD) … containing about 2/3 of the new Testament text" (P. Comfort, "The Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts". Preface p. 17. 2001)
In other words, many of these existing manuscripts are very early, merely a hundred years or so after the original writings of the New Testament. These manuscripts come earlier than the rise to power of Constantine and the Roman church. And they are spread across the Mediterranean world. If some from one region were corrupted we would see the difference by comparing it with manuscripts from other regions. But they are the same.
So what can we conclude from this? Certainly at least in what we can objectively measure (number of extant MSSs and time spans between original and earliest extant MSS) the New Testament (Injil) is supported much more than any of the other classical writings. The verdict to which the evidence pushes us is best summed up by the following quote:
"To be skeptical of the resultant text of the New Testament is to allow all of classical antiquity to slip into obscurity, for no other documents of the ancient period are as well attested bibliographically as the New Testament" Montgomery, History and Christianity. 1971, p.29
What he is saying is that to be consistent, if we question the reliability of al kitab (the Bible) we may as well discard all that we know about classical history in general – and this no historian has ever done. We know that the Biblical texts have not been altered as eras, languages and empires have come and gone since the earliest existing MSSs come before these events. For example, we know that no pope or the Roman Emperor Constantine changed the Bible since we have manuscripts that are earlier than Constantine and the popes and all these earliest manuscripts contain the same accounts. The manuscripts used to translate Bibles today come before the time of the Prophet Mohamed PBUH, and the fact that he confirmed the Bible as he found it in his day is significant since we know just from the manuscripts used that it has not changed from his day.
This is shown in the following timeline where the manuscript sources that are used in translating modern Bibles are shown to come very early.
Modern Bibles are translated from the earliest existing manuscripts, many from 100-300 AD. These source manuscripts come long before Constantine or other religious-political powers, and before time of Prophet Mohamed PBUH
To summarize, neither time nor Christian leaders have corrupted the original ideas and messages that were first placed into the original writings of al kitab or the Bible. We can know that it today accurately reads what the authors actually wrote from the many thousands of early manuscripts that we have today. The science of Textual criticism supports the reliability of al Kitab (the Bible).
Textual Criticism in university lecture
I had the privilege to give a public lecture on this topic at the University of Western Ontario in Canada not too long ago. Below is a 17 minute video of the part of the lecture that covers this question.
Thus far we have really only looked at the textual criticism of the New Testament – the Injil. But what about the Taurat and Zabur – the books that make up the Old Testament? In the following 7 minute video I summarize the textual criticism principles of the Old Testament.

This is an auction for a sweet little pillow I designed using a rare hard to find piece of gorgeous cotton with roses and ribbons! I framed this with ecru and white tassel trim, rosebud ticking, and vintage matelasse! There is also a small white cotton cording I added surrounded the pillow as well as a pink ruffle with white roses and ribbons! THis pillow measures 20x10 inches! There is a removeable plump polyfill pillow form for easy laundering. | {

Are you trying to jump-start your career in sales, or get your foot in the door at a high-growth tech company? Then the Sales Development Representative is the role for you.
Sales Development Representatives (or SDRs) are the front lines of the sales team. The goal of sales development is to generate qualified interest for the sales team and provide a stepping stone to becoming a sales person.
Often called SDR or BDR (Business Development Representative), these individuals research and engage new prospects via cold emails/calling, as well as qualify and nurture inbound leads. After a lead is qualified, the SDR's goal is to book a meeting and bring in a sales person to present the solution and close the deal. The best SDR and BDR's will excel at finding new prospects and generating high quality sales meetings for the sales team.
The SDR and BDR roles are usually entry-level roles for people new to sales but often can require existing industry experience for complex, enterprise sales. The SDR role is a great opportunity for recent graduates or folks who are transitioning from another industry to jump start their career in sales. | {

Q: Redux-Toolkit Middleware custom: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded I am studying Redux-Toolkit studio, and in particular, I am approaching custom middleware.
Below I report the definition of my store within my classic application example:
import { combineReducers, configureStore} from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import {todosSlice} from '.. /features/todos/todosSlice';
import { filterStore } from '.. /features/todos/filterSlice';
import { myLog } from '.. /reduxtoolkitmiddlewarecustom/myLog';
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
todos: todosSlice.reducer,
filter: filterStore.reducer
});
export const store = configureStore({
reducer: rootReducer,
middleware: (getDefaultMiddleware) => getDefaultMiddleware(). concat(myLog),
});
As you see in the store amount, the middleware "custom" defined in '.. /reduxtoolkitmiddlewarecustom/myLog';
The definition of middleware is as follows:
export const myLog = (store) => {
console.log('Init myLog');
return function myDispatch(next) {
return function myAction(action) { //action is the action received from the store.
store.Dispatch({ type: 'INIT_MYLOG', payload: null });
console.log(action);
//return next(action);
}
}
};
Well, if I emit a Dispatch, I do not return next(action), is that the return I still get an error of "Uncaught Rangeerror: Maximum call stack size exceeded".
I thought I understood, but evidently, I don't. The only way to make the code work is, for example, to make a console.log
What am I tripping about?
If found the error, in general, if the middleware makes a Dispatch in the store, must a corresponding reducer/action creator exist?
Thank you so much
A: your middleware dispatches INIT_MYLOG on every action. and that dispatched INIT_MYLOG then triggers your middleware. and that then dispatches. an endless circle.
Solution? Don't dispatch in a middleware except if you do it as a reaction to one specific action.

Devastating pathogen-borne diseases and plagues, both viral and bacterial in nature, have affected humans since the beginning of human history. The true cause of these diseases was not understood at the time, and some people thought that diseases were a spiritual punishment. Over time, people came to realize that staying apart from afflicted persons, and disposing of the corpses and personal belongings of victims of illness, reduced their own chances of getting sick.
Epidemiologists study how diseases affect a population. An epidemic is a disease that occurs in an unusually high number of individuals in a population at the same time. A pandemic is a widespread, usually worldwide, epidemic. An endemic disease is a disease that is constantly present, usually at low incidence, in a population.
There are records about infectious diseases as far back as 3000 B.C. A number of significant pandemics caused by bacteria have been documented over several hundred years. Some of the most memorable pandemics led to the decline of cities and nations.
In the 21 st century, infectious diseases remain among the leading causes of death worldwide, despite advances made in medical research and treatments in recent decades. A disease spreads when the pathogen that causes it is passed from one person to another. For a pathogen to cause disease, it must be able to reproduce in the host's body and damage the host in some way.
In 430 B.C., the Plague of Athens killed one-quarter of the Athenian troops that were fighting in the great Peloponnesian War and weakened Athens' dominance and power. The plague impacted people living in overcrowded Athens as well as troops aboard ships that had to return to Athens. The source of the plague may have been identified recently when researchers from the University of Athens were able to use DNA from teeth recovered from a mass grave. The scientists identified nucleotide sequences from a pathogenic bacterium, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ( [link] ), which causes typhoid fever. Papagrigorakis MJ , Synodinos PN , and Yapijakis C . Ancient typhoid epidemic reveals possible ancestral strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Infect Genet Evol 7 (2007): 126–7, Epub 2006 Jun. This disease is commonly seen in overcrowded areas and has caused epidemics throughout recorded history. | {

Globalization, Poverty Reduction, and Economic Rights
March 9, 2009|Volume3 |Issue3
Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann
Many students of global studies are interested in global human rights, especially economic rights, and they often oppose globalization because they believe that it has caused an increase in world poverty, especially as industrialization and capitalism spread.1 Yet most studies show significant decreases in poverty over the period of industrialization, capitalism and globalization. The global poverty rate is estimated to have fallen from over 90 per cent of the world's population in 1820 to 51.3 per cent in 1992. During approximately the same period, average life expectancy more than doubled, from 26 years in 1820 to 60 years by 2002.
Contemporary studies of poverty usually define it as the percentage of households living below a certain income; this is called the poverty line. World poverty lines are usually measured at somewhere between $1.00 and $3.00 per person per day. To compare poverty rates across countries, household incomes are typically converted to a common currency using purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates. PPP is calculated by comparing the costs of equivalent "baskets" of goods such as housing, food and clothing in various countries. For example, in2007 China's gross national income per capita in $US was estimated at $2, 360, but its per capita PPP was 5,370.
World Bank calculations show that using a poverty line of $US 1.25 per day, between 1981 and 2005 the percent of the world's population living in poverty decreased from to 51.8 to 25.2. Using a poverty rate of $2.50 per day, the decrease was from 74.6 per cent of the world's population to 56.6 per cent. Nevertheless, even if one uses the most optimistic figures, 322 million people lived below the WB $1 per day poverty line in 2000; 600 million lived below $2 per day and 1.2 billion below $3 per day. Using $2.50 per day as a benchmark, the majority of the world's population, 56.6 per cent, was still poor in 2005.
The rate of poverty varies quite drastically by region, however. In some regions absolute poverty has been declining since 1980, whereas in other regions it has increased slightly. The table below shows world poverty figures by per cent of population per region in 1981, 1990, 1999 and 2005 at the $1.25 and $2.50 per day levels, although these figures do not take account of food and fuel prices hikes since 2005 or of the 2008-9 financial crisis.
World Poverty Figures by Region, 1981-2005: Per Cent Living Below Poverty Line2
Region $1.25/day $2.50/day
East Asia & Pacific 77.7 54.7 35.5 16.8 95.4 87.3 71.7 50.7

Total 51.8 41.6 33.7 25.2 74.6 70.4 65.9 56.6
Source: Chen and Ravallion 2008, Table 7, pp. 33-34.
The greatest reduction in poverty from 1981 to 2005 was in East Asia and the Pacific, including China. Poverty also fell in South Asia as a region, in India, and in the Latin American and Caribbean region. In contrast, the poverty rate in Eastern Europe and Central Asia rose in the 1990s but began to decline again in the 2000s. In Sub-Saharan Africa the poverty rate increased between 1981 and 1999, but began to drop in the 2000s. These regional figures show that globalization is not uniformly "global" in its impact; national histories, internal political forces, and current public policies must be considered when trying to determine the consequences of globalization for a particular region or country.
The question is, then, what causes either increases or reduction in poverty? What will be the likely effect of globalization in the future and what factors other than globalization will contribute to that effect? It is tempting for global studies students who oppose globalization to attribute all deterioration in economic rights to globalization and all improvements to resistance to it. Yet countries that did not participate in globalization generally did worse than countries that did participate. Combined with the proper public policy measures, globalization improves the economic human rights of many hundreds of millions of people.

"There Is no Place for Us to Go but Up": New Religious Movements and Violence
by Massimo Introvigne
A paper delivered in the first plenary session of the 26th Conference of the International Society for the Sociology of Religion (SISR), Ixtapan de la Sal (Mexico) August 21, 2001
The first "cult wars", during which scholars of new religious movements and militant anti-cultists both tried to persuade the public authorities, as well as public opinion generally, that their respective narratives of controversial religious groups were accurate, were largely fought between 1978 (the year of Jonestown) and 1990. In the latter year, the Fishman decision, which dealt with accusations of brainwashing allegedly practised by the Church of Scientology, stated that anti-cult brainwashing theories were not legally part of generally-accepted science, and (although not unanimously confirmed by subsequent decisions) marked a more than symbolic defeat for the anti-cult camp. What happened in Waco, in 1993, did not significantly change the situation in the United States, because a significant proportion of scholars, politicians and the media tended to blame the ATF and the FBI for the ill-advised management of the incident. Additional and equally tragic events occurred after Waco, however, and they eventually determined what have become known as the "second cult wars" in the second half of the 1990s.
On October 5, 1994, the Swiss police found the bodies of 48 members of the Order of the Solar Temple (in French: Ordre du Temple Solaire, OTS) in a farm in Cheiry, and in three chalets in Granges-sur-Salvan, both Swiss villages. Investigations revealed that, three days before the Swiss tragedy, five more OTS members had perished in Morin Heights, Quebec. A second tragedy occurred in 1995 when, on December 23, 16 OTS members (including 3 children) were found dead in the mountains of Vercors, near Grenoble, France. Subsequently, on the night of March 21, 1997, another 5 members of the OTS committed suicide in Saint-Casimir, Quebec. The OTS, whose story has been told in detail elsewhere (Introvigne 1999; Mayer 1998, 1999; Introvigne and Mayer 2001), was a new religious movement drawing on the Western esoteric tradition, established by French esoteric teacher Joseph Di Mambro (1924-1994), who later recruited the Belgian homeopathic doctor Luc Jouret (1947-1994) into the fold. A number of different organizations created by Di Mambro in the 1970s and early 1980s led to the legal establishment of the OTS in 1984. While claiming a mythical genealogy derived from the Knights Templars of the Middle Ages, the OTS recognized as its source of authority a number of mysterious "Masters of the Temple", superhuman beings with whom Di Mambro was allegedly in contact. Following a decline in membership, problems with Di Mambro's health, and skirmishes with French and Canadian authorities, and at the same time drawing on its own apocalyptic ideas, the OTS leadership became persuaded in the 1990s that the end of the world was at hand, and that salvation was available through ritualised death which would enable a "transit" to another planet. However, only "core" members and the leadership in fact committed suicide; those regarded as "traitors" were mercilessly executed. There was also a third category, of weaker members, who may have accepted the idea of suicide but needed some "help" in accomplishing it. Children who shared the faith of their parents were obviously not in a position to make a decision, and were simply murdered.
On March 20, 1995 a sarin gas attack killed 12 and injured several thousand commuters in the Tokyo subway. The crime was traced to Aum Shinri-kyo, one of the "new" Japanese new religious movements, founded by Shoko Asahara (presently on trial in Tokyo). Investigators also discovered a trail of other crimes committed by Aum Shinri-kyo, including several murders. Aum (see Reader 2000) was a syncretistic movement which, in its early days, acquired a certain degree of legitimacy in international Buddhist circles as a bona fide (if somewhat idiosyncratic) Buddhist movement. Failure to achieve the success he expected, the number of membership defections, criticism and ridicule in the media, later turned Asahara's mood from optimistic to apocalyptic, and led to the development of a criminal theology devoid of any scruples toward violent and illegal actions, and condoning murder as something which could be performed to the ultimate karmic benefit of the victims themselves.
On March 26, 1997 (only five days after the third Solar Temple incident in Quebec), police found the bodies of 39 members of Heaven's Gate (a UFO new religious movement,) who had committed suicide in Rancho Santa Fe, California. The group had been established by Bonnie Lu Trousdale Nettles (1927-1985) and Marshall Applewhite (1931-1997), who called themselves "The Two", Bo and Peep, and later Ti and Do, between 1973 and 1974. The movement had been extensively studied by social scientists (see Balch and Taylor 1977, Balch 1980, 1982, 1985, 1995) during its "public" phase (1974-1976), while between 1977-1991 it continued to operate largely underground, only to resurface between 1992-1997 through occasional lectures and the Internet. Heaven's Gate announced that Planet Earth was about to be destroyed, that most humans were beyond hope of realizing what was going to happen, and that they were, in fact, leading vegetable-like existences. On the other hand, a small group of humans had received a "deposit" in the form of a special soul from benevolent extraterrestrials. Those in this category, who would thus be able to connect with this "deposit", would eventually be saved by the extraterrestrials from the imminent Doomsday (see Introvigne 1997). Originally, Ti and Do taught that spaceships would come to save the elected ones. After Nettles' death, however, Applewhite became disillusioned with this long-awaited scenario, and eventually concluded that ritualised suicide was the safest way to receive a new body in the "Kingdom of Heaven", believed to be the benevolent extraterrestrials' planet.
On March 17, 2000 hundreds of members of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, a fringe Catholic group believing in apparitions of the Virgin Mary and Jesus not recognized as legitimate by the Catholic hierarchy (who, in fact, excommunicated its leaders), died in the fire of their headquarters in Kanungu, Uganda. Subsequent investigations led to the discovery of several mass graves in properties owned by the Movement throughout Uganda, thus bringing the total death toll to more than 800. Despite studies at Uganda's Makerere University (Kabazzi-Kisirinya, Nkurunziza and Banura 2000) and field investigations by Swiss historian Jean-François Mayer (see Mayer 2000), much is still unclear about what really happened in Kanungu. While most scholars believe that the leaders of the Restoration died in the Kanungu fire, some police officers are still persuaded that at least some of them escaped with the Movement's money (similar rumours circulated about Di Mambro and Jouret after 1994, before being refuted by forensic evidence that they had indeed both perished in the first OTS tragedy). It seems that the Restoration movement held apocalyptic beliefs about the end of the world, and that members expected the Virgin Mary to come and take them to Heaven. The expected appearance of the Virgin Mary was probably awaited in the same way as the coming of the Heaven's Gate spaceships, or the OTS promise of salvation through the Masters of the Temple. It is likely, as with the OTS, that some Restoration "core" members did come to believe that the only way of going to Heaven was, in fact, ritualised suicide, whilst many others congregated in Kanungu simply to witness the coming of the Virgin Mary, not knowing that they would be "helped" to die, and "traitors" were executed. This OTS-like scenario appears, for the time being at least, to be the most credible hypothesis, although the exact meaning of the mass graves remains a mystery, as well as the fact that the number of murdered "traitors" in Uganda largely exceeded the number of "core" members who really did commit suicide.
As mentioned earlier, the four incidents not only energized the anti-cult movement (particularly in Europe, Asia, and Africa, while in the United States the reaction to Heaven's Gate was certainly less strong), but also determined the anti-cult actions of several governments. In the course of these second cult wars, two different anti-cult models (not to be confused with each other) were developed, in order both to make sense of the tragedies and to derive from them a support for wider anti-cult measures. The first was a return to classic brainwashing theories, which constituted the hard core of the U.S. anti-cult movement which had been defeated in court by the Fishman decision in 1990. These theories postulate that nobody can perform such extreme acts as ritualised suicide and homicide, unless he or she had been brainwashed by an evil guru. The tragedies are thus interpreted as retrospective evidence of brainwashing. Since brainwashing also occurs in hundreds of other movements, however, anti-brainwashing laws will have to be put in place if further tragedies are to be avoided. In Europe, French psychiatrist Jean-Marie Abgrall (1996, 1999) emerged as the chief spokesperson for this theory. Despite legal setbacks, including in 2001, when (his expert report notwithstanding) French conductor Michel Tabachnik (the only surviving former OTS leader, on trial in Grenoble) was found not guilty of having used brainwashing techniques to provoke the Solar Temple suicides, Abgrall was nonetheless extremely influential in the preparation of parliamentary and administrative reports published in France (Assemblée Nationale 1996 and 1999), Belgium (Chambre des Répresentants de Belgique 1997) and the Swiss Canton of Geneva (Audit sur les dérives sectaires 1997) (while reports in other European countries were somewhat more moderate: see Richardson and Introvigne 2001). Abgrall is also an influential member of the French governmental institution known as the Mission to Fight Cults (Mission interministerielle de lutte contre les sectes), and was likewise instrumental in the drafting of the French anti-cult law of May 30, 2001, providing inter alia, by way of an amendment to the pre-existing section 223 of the French Criminal Code, that "determining a state of psychological subjection" through either "serious pressures" or "techniques likely to alter the judgement" shall be punished by a three year term of imprisonment.
A different anti-cult explanation of the tragedies, not based on brainwashing, is offered by a loose coalition of skeptics and secular humanists, who have found a chief spokesperson in the University of Haifa psychologist Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi. During the first cult wars of the 1980s, Beit-Hallahmi was instrumental in defeating the brainwashing argument. He was one of the external reviewers whose strongly negative opinions led to the rejection by the American Psychological Association in 1987 of the DIMPAC (Deceptive and Indirect Methods of Persuasion and Control) report, drafted by a commission headed by Margaret Singer, a leading figure in the U.S. anti-cult movement, and and expounder of the anti-cult brainwashing theory. In one of the two lawsuits filed in 1994 against several scholars and scholarly associations, Margaret Singer alleged that "upon information and belief, Beit-Hallahmi had at the time [1987] established an academic reputation of being protective of the type of coercive psychological cults whose abuses DIMPAC had been charged with investigating" (Singer and Ofshe 1994, 19 [no. 105]). During the second cult war period, Beit-Hallahmi showed no sign of having revised his long-held opinion on brainwashing. He proposed, in fact, a much more simple explanation of the tragedies, and of cults in general. The suicides and homicides can be explained, he contends, by the fact that cult leaders were simply "crazy" as were their followers; and by the additional fact that they were also money-hungry "rascals" and frauds. In papers bitterly critical of new religious movements (NRM) scholars, Beit-Hallahmi accused them of not seeing the obvious, i.e. that cult leaders are in fact mad. "Marshall Applewhite was crazy, as was David Koresh"; "the denial of madness in general is tied to the denial of pathology in groups, but the pathology is visible to all, except NRM researchers" (Beit-Hallahmi 2001). Followers, in turn, follow crazy gurus, because their "pathology" matches that of their leaders. Again, only "collaborationist" NRM scholars are unable to see this: "defending NRMs and denying psychopathology in the seekers are connected. Denying evil deeds ascribed to NRMs is tied to denying the stigma of pathology in NRM members". In addition to this, Beit-Hallahmi believes that most cult leaders are "con artists" and "religious hustlers"; of course, "you can be both deranged and a hustler, as shown by Luc Jouret". The Israeli scholar believes that this explanation of cults applies not only to groups which end up committing suicides and homicides. It is much more general than that. Mormon prophet Joseph Smith (1805-1844), and early Pentecostal leader Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944), are both quoted as examples of "cynical hustlers and fakes". Beit-Hallahmi ridicules scholars claiming that "Aum Shinrikyo was an aberration, and the Solar Temple was an aberration, and David Koresh was an aberration (…) and so on and on". To him, these incidents are simply typical of "cults" in general. He contends that "in every single case allegations by hostile outsiders, critics, and detractors have sometimes been closer to the reality than any other accounts". In fact, Beit-Hallahmi's generalizations are even wider. "How do we explain religious conversion?" - he writes - "Conversion is an exceptional (some would say anomalous) behaviour, occurring in a tiny proportion of religious believers". Not only is conversion a "highly unusual" behaviour, but "psychopathology" is seen as its key factor. One may voice the objection that, in this case, "psychopathology" is exceedingly common; to which Beit-Hallahmi answers that this is indeed the case. "Unfortunately, he writes, schizophrenia is not a social construction and can be found in all human societies at a constant ratio of around 1 to 100 (…). As a result, in every generation and in every culture, a significant minority of humanity does reach a point of self-destructive regression in its attempt to cope with reality". This is seen as the root of religious conversion in general, and of cults in particular.
Both theories were, of course, criticized by NRM scholars (who also had to defend themselves against ad hominem attacks, repeated by anti-cultists over the Internet). They asserted that both models explained, at the same time, too much and too little. They explained too much, since they were in fact general theories of religion, only unsympathetic to religions in general. For Beit-Hallahmi, any and all instances of religious conversion derive from psychopathology. Similarly, and bearing in mind that brainwashing is different from sheer madness, Abgrall (1996, 1999) includes in his examples of brainwashing perpetrators: Mormons, Pentecostals, American Evangelicals, and a wide variety of religionists. Because they are so general, both theories fail to explain what really distinguishes movements which resort to mass homicide and suicide from law-abiding religious groups. For Beit-Hallahmi, both the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith and the OTS leaders were hustlers and frauds; for Abgrall, both Mormons and Solar Templars used brainwashing. Why exactly the Mormons have never organized mass suicides and homicides, while the Solar Templars did, is not explained. Beit-Hallahmi's claim that we should rely on hostile accounts by ex-members, anti-cultists, and journalists, regarded as generally more reliable than NRM scholars, is also not very helpful. The only instance of journalists and critics denouncing criminal activities not detected as such by scholars was the Aum Shinri-kyo incident. Heaven's Gate was largely ignored by anti-cultists and journalists after the 1970s; its early activities were surely more accurately described by the scholarly accounts of Robert Balch than by the few sensationalist journalistic accounts of the time. Uganda's Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God was unknown to scholars and anti-cultists alike before the tragedy. The Solar Temple was briefly studied by one scholar (Mayer 1993), who was able to gather more background information than the few anti-cultists and journalists writing about it in Quebec and elsewhere. Although Mayer certainly did not predict mass suicides and homicides, neither did the anti-cultists and journalists (some of whom, quite wrongly, preferred to accuse the Templars of preparing terrorist activities in Quebec). Speaking generally, it would be quite difficult to argue seriously that more reliable information about the Mormons could be gathered from anti-Mormon accounts than from the extensive scholarly literature on the subject - or, for that matter, that if one wanted to be informed about the Roman Catholic Church, one should use anti-Catholic literature as the starting point.
Another important question raised by scholarly critics of the anti-cult position, is that it is somewhat naïve to consider each movement only in terms of its internal dynamics, while in fact all movements operate in a continuous interaction with society at large. Waco was, of course, a textbook case of deviance amplification, and the opinion that the tragedy would not have happened had the law enforcement agencies acted with greater insight and caution is widely shared. It is also argued, and is particularly emphasized in studies authored or edited by Catherine Wessinger (1999, 2000), that in the Solar Temple case harassment and opposition by police authorities in several countries played a decisive role in the events leading up to the tragedy. In other cases (even if real opposition was reduced to ridicule via the Internet for Heaven's Gate, and is difficult to evaluate in Uganda), perceived opposition may still have been quite significant.
The question, however, remains of why, faced with opposition and even outright persecution, some groups react by resorting to violence, while in others cooler tempers prevail. After all, Jehovah's Witnesses endured much more severe persecution (including execution of its members by both totalitarian and democratic regimes during times of war) than Aum Shinri-kyo or the Solar Temple, yet they did not even think of responding through terrorism or of organizing collective suicides. The same is obviously true for many other religious movements too. What, then, do groups such as the Solar Temple, Aum Shinri-kyo, Heaven's Gate and the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God have in common? What features, if any, do they share that are not shared with hundreds of other new religious movements throughout the world? The question is obviously of crucial importance for law enforcement agencies. After Waco, the FBI decided that part of the problem was that it did not have enough information about new religious movements, and that relying solely on anti-cult sources had been catastrophically wrong. As a result, it approached the American Academy of Religion as well as several individual scholars, and in the late 1990s developed an extensive program of co-operation with scholars of new religious movements [1]. In contacts with the scholars, the FBI (and later non-U.S. law enforcement agencies) clarified that they needed a model capable of identifying the small number of religious movements which would be likely, given certain external circumstances, to resort to violence. They also maintained that any model stating that all religions, or hundreds of new religious movements or "cults", may eventually resort to violence, was not useful for law enforcement purposes, since no law enforcement agency in the world has the necessary resources for keeping hundreds of movements under control. They absolutely needed to restrict the field. French authorities have constantly refused to co-operate with international scholars of new religious movements (whom they regard as hired guns for the cults), but even in France voices have been heard calling law enforcement and anti-cult agencies to focus on the few "absolute cults" (sectes absolues), rather than on the 173 movements listed in the 1996 parliamentary report (with additional movements added in 1999) (see Hervieu-Léger 2001, 51-52). The problem in France is, obviously: on the basis of what information can "absolute cults" be identified? If information is provided by the same unreliable anti-cult sources which influenced the 1996 and 1999 reports, then it would not be unreasonable to predict that results will be no less unreliable. This does not mean, on the other hand, that it would be impossible to identify what kind of religious movements would be likely to resort to suicide, homicide, and terrorism in the face of certain external or internal events. Mayer and I have tried to understand what the Solar Temple, Heaven's Gate, and the People's Temple in Jonestown had in common. We concluded that not only did they react to perceived threats from outside, but they also propagated a theology that encouraged group members to regard themselves as "not of this world". This, in turn, led to the conclusion that, as stated in one Heaven's Gate document, "there is no place for us to go but up", particularly when the groups had been shaken by the defection of important members. We concluded that "deep estrangement from this world, perceived opposition by former members well-acquainted with the inner dealings of the group, threats from outside agencies (real or imaginary) and the feeling that there was no possible way to escape 'but up' seem to constitute an ideal combination of factors leading to self-destructive and criminal behaviour in small religious groups" (Introvigne and Mayer 2001). Without accepting the rhetoric of "crazy gurus", we also added that "the role (and mental condition) of the leader of the group seems to be decisive in persuading followers either to choose the radical option, or to adjust as well as possible to adverse circumstances".
I believe that further research in this field is relevant both in terms of maintaining a fruitful co-operation between NRM scholars and law enforcement agencies, and in stimulating a genuine dialogue between the same scholars and the more moderate elements in the cult awareness and "cult critics" community (not to be confused with the extremist fringe engaging in name-calling, ad hominen attacks, and explicit support for governmental persecution of religious minorities in France, Russia or China). It is my personal opinion that a good step for such a dialogue would be to revisit the original academic literature on thought reform and totalitarian influence. During both the first and the second cult wars, authors such as Robert Jay Lifton and Edgar H. Schein were quoted in support of a crude brainwashing rhetoric. As Dick Anthony (1996) conclusively proved, although occasionally both Lifton and Schein may have regarded "cults" as unpalatable and have expressed some degree of support for certain anti-cult enterprises, brainwashing arguments (built around the idea that conversions to cults are involuntary, and are the result of extrinsic and powerful techniques), and totalitarian influence arguments à la Lifton and Schein, are certainly not identical. In fact, Lifton cautioned not to "use the word brainwashing because it has no precise meaning and has been associated with much confusion" (Lifton 1987, 211), and Schein (1961, 254) ridiculed crude brainwashing theories as "demonology" in disguise. Theirs are much more complicated models, built around the premise that conversions to totalitarian ideologies, religious or otherwise, result from the interaction between influence techniques, quantitatively but not qualitatively different from those at work in many other social settings, predisposing individual factors (most of them interpreted according to Erik H. Erikson's [1902-1994] psychoanalytic model, with its reference to childhood problems), and philosophical predispositions, i.e. "a genuine interest in such ideologies" (Anthony 1996, 125; see Lifton 1989 and Schein 1961). Schein (1961, 285) concluded his seminal 1961 book by stating that when we in the West disapprove of "coercive persuasion" as practiced in Communist China, what we really disapprove of is the content of an influence which is not intrinsically different from similar processes occurring in the West. "In putting our emphasis on the content of the influence, Schein wrote, we have often tended to overlook similarities in the nature of the influence process. There is a world of difference in the content that is transmitted in religious orders, prisons, educational institutions, mental hospitals, and [Chinese] thought reform centres. But there are striking similarities in the manner in which the influence occurs, a fact which should warn us strenuously against letting our moral and political sentiments colour our scientific understanding of the Chinese Communist approach to influence".
More recently, Lifton (1999) devoted his attention to Aum Shinri-kyo and recognized that criteria are needed in order to distinguish criminal "cults" such as Aum from hundreds of other groups that he also considers to be "cults", "totalist" and practising thought reform, but whose activities "are not necessarily illegal, however we may deplore them" (Lifton 1987, 211 - "totalism", for Lifton, includes Protestant Fundamentalism, Islamic Fundamentalism, and political ideologies such as "nuclearism" and the widespread American advocacy of the capital punishment). Although Lifton's reconstruction of the history of Aum Shinri-kyo has been criticized by other scholars (see Reader 2000), his attempt to distinguish from the larger world of "cults" and totalist groups a sub-category of "world-destroying cults" characterized by "totalized guruism", "attack guruism" and violence points in my opinion to a valid area of investigation. Lifton (1999, 202-213) lists seven characteristics of "world-destroying cults" as typified by Aum Shinri-kyo: (1) "totalized guruism", whereby the principle "no deity beyond the guru" is carried to the extreme of "desymbolization", i.e. the loss of the ability to distinguish between reality and metaphor, in the case of both guru and disciple; (2) "a vision of an apocalyptic event or series of events that would destroy the world in the service of renewal"; (3) an "ideology of killing to heal, of altruistic murder and altruistic world destruction"; (4) "the relentless impulse toward world-rejecting purification"; (5) "the lure of ultimate weapons" (from sarin gas to the atomic bomb); (6) "a shared state of aggressiveness", in which any scruples about acting illegally are eliminated; and (7) "a claim to absolute scientific truth" associated with the use of technical devices (such as, in the case of Aum, hallucinogenic drugs) to transform disciples and perform an "extreme technocratic manipulation".
It is easy to see that most, if not all, of these criteria are content-oriented. While brainwashing rhetoric claims to be content-neutral, and to focus on deeds (i.e. the use of manipulative and illegal techniques) rather than creeds, both Lifton and Schein in fact regard content as crucial. According to Schein (1961, 277), crude brainwashing theories are wrong when they argue that techniques used in "such varied institutions as [Western] education, hospitals, religious training, salesmanship, and [Chinese] thought reform are intrinsically different", and that thought reform includes some mysterious, esoteric tool, thus making it infallible. In fact, this is not the case; on the contrary, "ultimately what distinguishes processes like education, therapy, etc. [from Chinese thought reform and] from each other is their goals and the content of the material which defines the outcome". We (i.e. American public opinion in 1961), argues Schein, condemn Chinese thought reform because certain techniques were used in order to persuade both Chinese and American prisoners that Communism is true, and that the United States is the country of imperialism and warmongering, while at the same time we approve the use of the same techniques in prisons, military academies, and similar institutions when their aim is the opposite, i.e. precisely to persuade the inmates or students that the American way of life is a positive and desirable lifestyle. Lifton condemns in "world-destroying cults" not only the use of torture and drugs (which, he says, may or may not occur) but also the propagation of an ideology which rationalizes illegal actions, and claims that ritualised killing may ultimately have a sacred purpose and be beneficial to the victims themselves.
Obviously, there is no easy way to predict which religious movements may become involved in terrorism, violence, or suicide. All models could be purely tentative, after all no prediction is infallible, and human behaviour is often unpredictable. On the other hand, a comparative study of a number of tragic incidents which took place in the 1990s, and a revisitation of the very much misinterpreted original Lifton-Schein literature about thought reform and influence, may support the conclusion that trying to predict violence on the basis of purely content-neutral models, focusing only on the persuasion and influence techniques or the psychological (if not psychopathological) state of the leaders, will probably not lead to any fruitful conclusion. As both Schein and Lifton ultimately concluded, while the study of influence techniques is important, what ultimately makes a religious or political group likely to behave in a certain way is the content of its teachings, and not simply how these teachings are imparted to its followers. This also means that both social scientists and cult critics may find new ground for dialogue by focusing more on the content of each movement's teachings rather than concentrating solely on their persuasion and socialization techniques. Obviously, the aim of such an enterprise would not be to produce a theological or philosophical evaluation of whether these teachings are true or false. While this should remain foreign to both a value-free scholarly enterprise and to a secular watchdog cult awareness activity, both camps may come to regard as perfectly legitimate the observation of certain historical and social regularities, on which to conclude that certain doctrines are more likely than others to lead to self-destruction and violence.

1. CESNUR the Centre for Studies on New Religions (whose managing director is the undersigned), organized in 1999 a seminar for FBI agents in Fredericksburg, Virginia, in co-operation with the Critical Incidents Response Group of the FBI. A number of well-known scholars of new religious movements delivered lectures and discussed potential problems with the agents. This lead to similar initiatives being organized with law enforcement agencies inside and outside the United States. [back] | {

Twin Donates Testicle to Brother Who Had None
News By TooFab Staff | December 10, 2019 1:35 PM
Celebrity Plastic Surgery and Beauty Confessions
The surgery re-opened the ethical question of potential recipients fathering someone else's children.
A 36-year-old man born without testicles now has one — thanks to his twin brother, and an international team of surgeons.
The identical siblings went under the knife to share the wealth in a six-hour operation performed in Belgrade, Serbia, last week.
In an interview with the New York Times, Dr. Dicken Ko said the aim of the surgery was to provide the recipient more stable levels of testosterone, to make his genitals look and feel more natural, and to allow him to potentially have children — even though technically, they'd be his brother's.

Because the recipient (who wished to remain anonymous) was missing the vas deferens — the duct which conveys sperm from the testicle to the urethra via ejaculation — he can not (yet) impregnate someone in the traditional way.
However, he can via IVF; or he could opt to use his brother's sperm, which would produce the same results. Otherwise, the operation — only the third known transplant of its type — was a complete success.
Because the pair were twin brothers, they didn't even need the immunosuppression drugs most transplant patients take to prevent their bodies from rejecting the foreign organs. "He's good, he looks good, his brother looks good," Dr. Ko told the publication, adding that the fertility of the donor brother, who already has children, will not be affected should he want more.
Dr. Branko Bojovic, who was also part of the team, said that once the donor testicle was removed they were up against the clock, as it will only remain viable for 4-6 hours without a blood supply.

The team had to stitch together two arteries and two veins less than 2 millimeters wide each, which can take up to an hour a piece; however the team managed to suture all four in less than two hours.
Dr. Bojovic and Dr Ko were also part of the surgical team that performed the first penis transplant in the United States in 2016. Their achievements are of particular interest to those seeking gender re-assignment surgery.
Female-to-male procedures currently involve phalloplasty, which builds a visual penis from grafted tissue, or metoidioplasty, which creates a penis from the patient's clitoris. Concurrently, male-to female procedures usually dump otherwise healthy male organs after removal.
According to lead surgeon Dr Miroslav Djordjevic, it's a supply and demand issue that answers itself.

"We have to do this as soon as possible, to stop putting healthy organs in the garbage," he said.
However in potential future cases, Dr Djordjevic agrees that testicles should not be part of those transplants, as it raises the ethical issue of the recipient being able to father someone else's children "Then the offspring is technically whose child?" Dr. Ko questioned. "It raises much debate in the literature of medical ethics."
The first two successful testicle transplants were done by Dr. Sherman J. Silber in 1978 and 1979, both on identical twin brothers. Dr Silber, who learned his craft of microsurgery by performing kidney transplants on more than 2,000 rats, said the first ever recipient went on to have five kids.

Supporting refugees and asylum seekers
Come to Sheffield
International Faculty - CITY College, Thessaloniki
International partners and collaborations
Internationalisation Strategy (information for staff)
International alumni
We value international students and are passionate about ensuring that their contribution to our economy and culture is recognised. That's why we launched the #We are international campaign. Now the UK Council for International Student Affairs is driving forward the award-winning campaign.
The roots of the campaign
We launched #WeAreInternational in 2013 as a collaboration with our Students' Union. Over 160 universities, education institutions and international organisations backed the campaign. Find out more about the roots of our campaign, how it's grown and the impact it's had.
Report demonstrates £120 million benefit of international students
We realised that the positive impact of international students had been buried. So in response, we wanted to stand together with academics, students, the community, city leaders and other partners to show that Sheffield is a city that says no to prejudice and one that values its international students.
More importantly, we needed to influence the debate to ensure the contribution that international students make – not just financial, but to the knowledge base, economy and culture – was celebrated here in the UK and communicated more widely to the world.
In 2013 we commissioned a report from Oxford Economics that showed international students in Sheffield are responsible for pumping over £120 million into the city economy over a single year – that's 10 per cent of inward investment in Sheffield.
The report, launched at the Houses of Parliament, sparked a parliamentary debate on the importance of international students and later led to the University of Sheffield's Students' Union President and International Officer being invited to parliament to make the case for international students as the controversial immigration bill returned to the House of Commons.
Our research also highlighted that international students are ingrained in city life. They work on placements in our hospitals and businesses; they volunteer for over 140 Sheffield charities and schools. They also enrich the cultural life of the city through a spectacular programme of music, food, dance and language events all year round, many of which are organised through our very own Students' Union.
Going national – and international
After publicising how international students benefit a major UK city like Sheffield, we were keen to expand this to a broader campaign with the support of all universities, students' unions and all those who are concerned about international students in the UK.
The campaign was supported by more than 160 UK universities and colleges, the British Council and the Home Office.
We forged links internationally, working closely with representatives from Temple University in Philadelphia, USA who used We Are International as an inspiration for their own #YouAreWelcomeHere campaign, set up in response to the new administration's policies on immigration.
Campaign milestones
Oxford Economics report launched at the Houses of Parliament that showed international students in Sheffield are responsible for pumping over £120 million into the city economy over a single year – that's 10 per cent of inward investment in Sheffield. The report sparked a parliamentary debate on the importance of international students.
We Are International wins the Internationalising the Student Experience category at the National Union of Students (NUS) and UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) Internationalisation Awards.
The campaign wins best International Student Strategy award at the THE Awards.
Campaign relaunched following the EU referendum and the decision to leave the European Union with a statement of solidarity between the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield College.
The main campaign video received nearly 120,000 views across all channels since its relaunch in September 2016.
The campaign received a gold 2017 Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) award for Making the Case for Internationalism in UK Higher Education.
The impact of #WeAreInternational
A survey of 62,000 prospective international students found that the degree to which a study destination is perceived as welcoming and safe is one of the most important factors in student decision making.
84 per cent of prospective international students (Hobsons' International Student Survey, 2017) said campaigns such as #WeAreInternational positively influenced their perception of the UK, and that the higher education sector should build upon and expand these efforts to encourage international students to keep on coming.
In Sheffield we are very proud of this campaign, the impact it has had on international students and the positive UK policy changes it has helped to facilitate. #WeAreInternational grew organically from the University of Sheffield and developed into a campaign that others can pick up and use freely when offering a warm welcome or advocating for the rights of international students.
Professor Koen Lamberts
President and Vice-Chancellor at the University of Sheffield and Chair of the UKCISA Board
New chapter for award-winning campaign
The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) and the University of Sheffield announced a new chapter in the development of the #WeAreInternational campaign in 2019.
UKCISA is now driving the award-winning campaign forward – supporting it to reach even more international students across the education sector by capturing and sharing the voices of students from universities, colleges, schools, pathway providers and study abroad programmes.
The campaign is open to all who support and welcome international students.
Speaking about how students can get involved in the campaign, Sheffield Students' Union International Students' Officer Mengya (Sissi) Li said: "When I came to Sheffield as a postgraduate student the #WeAreInternational campaign helped me feel welcome in a brand new city right from the start, giving me the confidence to run in a competitive election and represent international students.
"Sheffield is renowned for being an inclusive and welcoming place to live, something I can attest to, so it's no surprise that #WeAreInternational, one of the most impactful international campaigns, was founded at Sheffield Students' Union. I'm excited to see the next chapter of this campaign led by UKCISA as they open it up to more people than ever before, helping them feel at home in this country regardless of where they're from."

Divine Mercy Sunday, Two Saints, and Homosexuality… Three gifts to the church!
April 27, 2014 April 27, 2014 / Corey Bruns / 5 Comments
Today on the Feast of Divine Mercy, we have received many gifts in the church. The first being a reminder of Christ's love and mercy, the second being two new saints: John Paul II and John XXIII, and the third, coincidentally titled similarly is The Third Way. Fr. John Hollowell, a priest from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis has been working on producing this video with Blackstone Films, in an effort to show the world what the Catholic Church really teaches about homosexuality.
"The Catholic Church opens her arms in welcome to all…Come to the waters of salvation…those who have same sex attraction belong in the Catholic church…we will listen to you…we will support you…we will love you for who you are…"
People always think that the Catholic church rejects those who have same sex attraction, but that is quite the contrary! Watch this beautiful video to see what the church truly teaches on homosexuality. Please share!!
It really challenges all of us who are involved with ministry to treat all in and outside the church with welcoming and loving arms. How can you change the way you encounter others and bring them Christ's love and mercy?
Happy Feast of the Divine Mercy!!

Yesterday in Parma, Engineer G.G. Amaro was a guest lecturer at SICURTHEC Village, an important yearly event that runs throughout Italy confronting the most recent innovations regarding the culture of fire safety – design solutions and technical, regulatory aspects.
The event took place at the Sala Verdi of the Starhotels Du Parc, and the topics included a detailed discussion of the Fire Prevention Code in the morning and the passive protection systems and fire prevention measures needed to correctly manage fire safety in the afternoon. During his presentation entitled "The Most Advanced Use of 3-D Modeling Tools in the Field of Fire Engineering" Engineer Amaro illustrated how BIM is becoming an increasingly indispensable tool in the design of spaces subject to fire engineering strategies . | {

Theodore Dreiser's work 'An American Tragedy' evokes a prodigal-son theme, where the main character is unhappy both with his religious upbringing and poverty-ridden surroundings. He leaves his 'poor evangelist' parents for a life of glamour and pleasure only to find tragedy in the end. With this in mind, Dreiser structures the novel into three books, beginning first with an introduction of Clyde Griffiths, who is twelve years old and living with his parents and three siblings. Dreiser paints Clyde as antagonistic to his parents' rules and beliefs; he answers his problems by leaving home. His journey takes him to a position as a bellhop; he indulges in alcohol and prostitution; and he becomes a liar. The movement of the novel changes dramatically when Clyde befriends Willard Sparser; Sparser steals a car and ends up crashing it while driving recklessly. At the same time, he hits a pedestrian and Clyde runs away to avoid responsibility. Dreiser details Clyde's life as a fugitive in the second part of the book. By the end of 'An American Tragedy,' Clyde ends up contributing to an accident for which he doesn't take responsibility. He is arrested for first-degree murder. His father secures an attorney. His mother appeals to the governor to commute his sentence. However, Clyde is executed, dying not fully reconciling truth and untruth.

he Kiowa Dancer in Arizona is a relatively common, but locally distributed species along rocky streams in multiple counties.
In the past few years the species has been observed several times at the Wild Horse Pass just South of Phoenix, but until now there was a single record within the Phoenix metropolitan area (R. Witzeman; Salt River, April 2010). A male was found on 6 November 2013 along a small artificial stream at the Phoenix Papago Park, thereby providing a second record for the Phoenix metropolitan area. | {

Q: Install Ubuntu 14.10 on secondary UEFI partition Trying to install latest Ubuntu desktop release 14.10 on a new system with 64-bit Intel X99 motherboard having UEFI firmware. For the installation I am using a USB EFI formatted live USB stick. My system has 2 physical 1TB Winchester hard drives (sda and sdb), where sda contains a bootable and working Windows 8.1 UEFI partitioned installation and sdb has been pre-partitioned for a Ubuntu UEFI installation. When running the Ubuntu installation process, the installer crashes while installing grub2 with the message:
The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/.
Without the Grub boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
I have uploaded a detailed boot-repair description of how my hard disks are partitioned at http://paste.ubuntu.com/10300722 for your review as necessary.
I have created a separate partition on the second hard disk (sdb1) for Ubuntu's boot files to reside in. However, for some reason, even when selecting this partition in the installer when using option "something else", the installer fails to properly install the required UEFI boot files.
My goal is to boot using the UEFI firmware's boot menu, not grub or the Windows boot menu.
Can this be accomplished with Ubuntu?
A: Thanks Fabby for your response. Your answer to copy the ubuntu UEFI files to a UEFI partition is correct. However, I was only able to resolve my problem by first disconnecting the Window's hard drive altogether from the system before running the ubuntu system installer. This allowed the installer to correctly copy the grub2 UEFI files into the EFI system partition on the ubuntu hard disk. It seems that the ubuntu installer has bugs that need to be worked out with regard to dual boot configurations that rely on UEFI and Widows 8+. With regard to your comment of disk partition /dev/sdb1 not being a UEFI partition, I assume that I used the wrong term. I should have stated this as being an ESP (EFI System Partion) as stated in the disk partitioning report that I have provided a link to in my original note. The good news is that the system now dual boots properly displaying a grub menu for selecting ubuntu or windows and everything is fine :). Hope this chain helps some other frustrated users out there.
With regards,
DougC
A: What you're trying to do is impossible with your current configuration.
UEFI is like BIOS, but on a disk. /dev/sdb1 is not an UEFI partition: it's just an empty VFAT partition. To keep the analogy with the BIOS: you've bought en EEPROM chip, stuck it on your motherboard and expect it to contain a BIOS. It does not! :-( You need to load the UEFI system files to the drive before you can attempt to try what you want to do... This can only be done if your system supports multiple UEFI partitions: I've never seen any system that can do this, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
So with the current system set-up you have, what you need to do is to put the Ubuntu UEFI system files on the UEFI partition and then you can put the rest of the OS anywhere you want... (including on /dev/sdb)
Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news...

Malay language / Malaysia / Sexuality
Two steps forward, one step back: On Dalam Botol, Malaysia's first 'gay' film
20 April, 2011 20 April, 2011 Angry Malay WomanLeave a comment
Written for the LSE equality and diversity blog
For a country keen on displaying its hyper-modernity, Malaysian law and social attitudes on sexual morality in general have always had a conservative bent. While there are pockets of change, much of the public discourse on sex and morality are dominated by sexist and homophobic language. A blanket government control on discussion and representations of sexuality in the media regularly results in sensationalism, misinformation, and the deepening of greater confusion about sexual and gender diversity. This confusion is reflected in the new film by Raja Azmi Raja Sulaiman, Dalam Botol (In a bottle). While the film signals a small but momentous phase in the country's censorship laws on the depiction of homosexual characters in the media, the film itself stands as an intriguing cinematic object of fascination and curiosity as it secured 1 million ringgit ($330,000) at Malaysian cinemas.
Dalam Botol tells the story of a man who undergoes a sex reassignment surgery to please his male lover, stores his severed penis in the eponymous bottle, only to be rejected by his lover. Dejected, the transsexual man/woman returns to his village and falls for a woman. Although based on the experiences of the producer's friend who regretted having a sex-reassignment procedure, the film has been pointed out as misleading by Malaysian LGBT activists as it conflates gay with transgender identities.
While Raja Azmi claims to tell a love story with a cautionary twist, its narrative is not easily separated from how alternative sexualities and genders are perceived in Malaysia where gay men are sometimes confused for trans women who need to undergo sex reassignment surgery to become female, while both transgender women and gay men are sometimes subsumed under the category 'effeminate' men. Furthermore, Raja Azmi's insistence that the film's moral subtext should function as a deterrent against sex reassignment surgery serves only to reinforce the assumption that transgender and homosexual identities are not only temporary but a deplorable state of affairs to be rejected.
To be fair to Malaysia's cultural genealogy of genders and sexualities, the conception of gay identities did not come into public currency until the 1980s. Even then, the term closest to the Western understanding of the word 'gay' is pondan, a derogatory word used for effeminate men or transwomen. The term 'homosexual' has different connotations in different cultural and economic contexts. But with the expansion of the 'global gay' emanating from the 'Anglophone' world reaching the industrialised capitals of the developing world, Malaysia included, we find localised conceptions of the 'global gay' in hybridised gay identities. Malaysian gay identities are savvy consumers of Western LGBT media and have close ties with human rights organisations, but they are also concentrated in the urban centres of the country. How the LGBT community in Malaysia perceive Raja Azmi's film is very much a product of this global cultural exchange and local politics.
The conflict in conceptions of transgender and homosexual identities exist between Malaysian LGBT groups and the cinematic vision of producer and scriptwriter Raja Azmi may arise from linguistic and class differences. Many middle-class Malaysian gay and lesbians adopt the epistemological separation of gender and biological sex developed by Western sociologists and sexologists and understand their work in English, while most working class Malaysians do not have access to knowing much gender theory.
The fact that media attention on alternative genders and sexualities in recent Malaysian films have only come to the fore in recent years with films like Dalam Botol, 2 Alam (Two Worlds), Bukak Api (Open Fire), Pecah Lobang (Broken Hole), and numerous Malay television dramas with transgender characters demonstrates a new but limited awareness about non-normative gender and sexuality. Lesbian characters in films such as Rozana Cinta '87 (Rozana Love) did not court great controversy in 1987. It was only during the public humiliation of the former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim in 1998 when the country's dominant discourse on homosexuality was re-established with a politically homophobic turn and pushed gay identities in the spotlight. Last December, Awzan Ismail, an openly gay Malay Muslim man received death threats after posting a Youtube video for a gay youth acceptance campaign 'It Gets Better'.
The level of negative attention targeted at Awzan Ismail was significantly disproportionate compared to the videos posted by his fellow gay and lesbian Chinese Malaysians. The hostility and misinformation on sexual and gender minorities in Malaysia appear to boil down to much of the attitudes and social and religio-political hegemony of the majority Malay Muslims.
Historically, Malaysia's social fabric has been shaped by racial politics under the paternalistic thumb of largely Malay Muslim politicians. While the country is on the surface a peaceful multi-ethnic nation, underneath the veneer lie racial tensions arising from the constitutionally-sanctioned superiority of the Malays and indigenous groups, termed the bumiputera, which make sensitive issues such as race, sexuality, and religion a minefield for those who challenge the conservative status quo.
Small social transformations are constantly afoot in Malaysia and the country's increasingly politicised youth appear to set the wheels of change into motion. Independent films by Malaysian film makers engage more positively with LGBT issues than films that grab national headlines like Dalam Botol. It will, however, still take time when a critical mass for change is reached in the country's seats of power to witness a greater level of social acceptance of trans and gay people in Malaysia.

Ceramic tile is one of the most durable flooring options available. No wonder so many homeowners choose it for their bathroom project! Ceramic tile can be used on both the bathroom floor and the walls, creating a seamless, put together look. You can work patterns into the floors and walls to create even more interest.
There are several things you should do before you start the actual installation process. Remove the toilet and any baseboards or trim around the perimeter of your bathroom. Next remove any existing flooring and make sure your subfloor is level and smooth. Finally, be sure you have a proper backerboard and consider a moisture barrier if you are applying ceramic tile to your walls.
The best way to get a professional looking bathroom is to measure and mark everything. Measure your tiles and calculate the way they will best fit together. Take these measurements to the floor and chalk off lines to indicate where the tiles will be and where the grout will be. This will give you a picture of how things will look, so it becomes a matter of just filling in the blanks.
Start with a thinset mortar either to your subfloor or directly to the tile. Applying directly to the tile will result in a smoother finished product and may be a better choice for the novice. Be sure the application is even before pressing it firmly onto the floor. Pay close attention to the guidelines you chalked earlier.
Thoroughly clean any debris from your tiles and joints. Run caulk around the perimeter of the room and at any joints such as cabinets. Apply a large amount of grout to a small area at a time and allow it to set for about 15 minutes. Then just wipe up the excess and clean with a damp sponge, being careful not to dig into the grout.
Installing ceramic tile to your bathroom wall is essentially the same process. One point of concern with walls, however, is the risk of electrocution. Please always be sure to turn off the breakers to your bathroom outlets before beginning your project.
• Ceramic tile cutters: You will most likely have to cut some of your tile to make them fit within the parameters of your room. Check with your local home improvement store to see if these are available to rent.
• Notched trowel: This is essential for applying your mortar to your ceramic tiles. The notches will help strengthen the bond of the mortar.
• Tape measure, chalk line, and level: Use these 3 items for proper floor preparation before installation.
Ceramic tile installation in the bathroom is something you can do!
By taking the time to fully research your project and using the proper tools and techniques, your bathroom can be just as beautiful as any professional installation at a fraction of the cost. For more information on ceramic tile installation, visit: Contempto Floor Coverings. | {

中文摘要 none
英文摘要 Social Network Sites (SNSs) has brought enormous impact to the whole world; it has introduced a new way of socializing via the cyber world. Among all SNSs, Facebook (FB) is one of the most successful SNSs, which has grown exponentially in the last two years. Therefore, FB was chosen as the theme of the study so as to discover insightful details regarding SNSs. Being transparent is how FB works; it is very popular but it also causes a lot of controversy, such as arguments and disagreements regarding privacy. It attracts a lot of attention and garners plenty of criticism, which also entails public concerns about the ethics of information posting and sharing.
This study examined the relationship of six constructs: Social Influence, Perceived Trust, Habit, Inter-Personal Privacy Concerns, Continuance Intention and Ethical Attitude towards IPS. A quantitative survey was conducted in order to: 1. identify whether there are relationships among these constructs; 2. evaluate frequent FB users' ethical attitude on information sharing and posting; and 3. assess their continuance intention of using FB. Findings indicate there are positive relationships among constructs. The study results also indicate that the continuous use of FB positively influences users' ethical attitude towards IPS. They deem that what others think about their behavior on FB is important to them. FB users share tacit knowledge on morally sharing and posting information. Meanwhile, they would also judge the others' FB behavior with a high perception of ethics.

The Truth Of Things: Did Jesus Exist? 3c. Did Peter and Paul talk about Jesus?
18 Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas [Peter] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord's brother. 20 I assure you before God that what I am writing you is no lie.
he was keen on what he calls 'Judaism' and on harming churches in Judea because of their attitude to Jewish traditions, which had something to do with Jesus. This was before Paul was a Christian.
there were Christians who were 'apostles' - including Peter - before Paul was an apostle.
he stopped persecuting them after his personal encounter with God.
He mentions two interesting things about this encounter - and this is important for understanding more about what information Paul had. God called him (Gal 1:15). And Jesus gave him a 'gospel' to preach (Gal 1:11-12). Jesus did this by giving Paul a 'revelation'.
Paul doesn't say that Jesus supernaturally told him anything else at all, apart from this 'gospel' message.
Paul didn't victimise the churches any more. In fact he went away into Arabia, and later to Damascus.
After three years away, something important: it was worth him going all the way to Jerusalem just to get to know Peter for the first time. So Peter was a significant man in the church in the 30s as far as Paul was concerned. He had heard of him. And when he went there, he met James (Jesus' brother) too.
This information all comes in Paul's defence of himself as a gospel preacher. Later, he positively preaching the faith that he used to victimise, which is crucial evidence (Gal 1:23). And fourteen years later, Paul goes back to Jerusalem, the heartbeat of Judea, to get his 'gospel' message vetted (Gal 2:2).
By the time Paul was writing his letters in the 50s, we can see that he has quite a bit of information about Jesus, more information than I would call a 'gospel' message. Remember: Paul says that what he got supernaturally from Jesus was his 'gospel' message. He doesn't say that he got the rest of his information about Jesus this way. In fact we know he didn't, because he has already confessed to harming people who had something to do with Jesus before that: he couldn't have done that unless he had information about their beliefs. He got that from people he met, not from any 'revelation' that was still only in his future.
So did Paul learn any such information from Peter? What indirect evidence do we have that helps us to decide what Peter and Paul talked about for fifteen days in the 30s? As I mentioned, Paul's information and our common sense - and Paul's context - help us to work out things they must have talked about.
There was one pressing issue that had to be discussed. It was this: was someone who had been persecuting the churches in Judea safe for Peter to be with? It's impossible to imagine the former persecutor Paul spending fifteen days with Peter unless Peter was satisfied that it was safe to do so. Paul would have had to talk to Peter about his changing sides because otherwise to Peter he would be known as a dangerous man who had been persecuting churches – someone to fear and not to be welcomed. Therefore, we can confidently conclude that Paul told Peter about how it was that he stopped persecuting the church. Paul would have to make this convincing if he was to be trusted: so he would have had to give Peter a convincing reason for his change of heart. Paul's only known explanation was that it was after an encounter with God, and a supernatural revelation from Jesus, that he stopped persecuting. Paul never gives a different explanation in his letters. So we can infer confidently that this is the explanation which Paul gave to Peter – his usual explanation. Which brought Jesus into it.
This change of heart also meant Paul leaving a life of violent nationalism to become part of the church - in other words, the first Christians that he knew said that being a follower of Jesus meant not being a nationalistic zealot, in order to be inline with the view of Jesus.
If he wanted to be trusted, Paul would need Peter to see that he was genuinely sorry for having persecuted the Judean churches. So he had to say so. Paul would have been apologetic about it. That had to be part of the words that were spoken between them.
Paul, this former persecutor, to overcome suspicion about him, would also be expected to give a good reason why he had taken the time and trouble to come to Jerusalem to seek out Peter in particular. With Peter being a key member of the persecuted church community whose life had something to do with Jesus, wouldn't it seem a bit suspicious for a former trouble-causer to come and seek him out? What was Paul up to really?
To sum up so far, Paul could have said that he had come to make a promise not to persecute the churches, to apologise for what he had done to them, and to give a convincing account that he had converted so that he could be trusted now. This has to be so – it's inconceivable that they could have got through 15 days together without touching on this.
But Paul also gives the specific reason for his visit that he wanted to get 'acquainted' with Peter in those fifteen days. Getting 'acquainted' with someone involves sharing each other's stories. That's how relationships work. You can't get acquainted and not share some stories that will mean something to each other. Notice that Paul mentions about meeting Peter after three years, to show that this only happened after Paul had got his 'gospel' message from Jesus. So we can infer that Paul had his own story up to that point to share with Peter. And if Paul needed to tell Peter that he had encountered God and a risen Jesus, then Peter in return had his own stories to tell, such as how he was a part of church life in Judea, and that the church had survived despite being persecuted by Paul. Peter could tell Paul about the churches of Judea that Paul calls 'in Christ' (Gal 1:22). Again this is an inference from the context of this tightly written section of Galatians 1.
Since Paul had been harming the church, then it is highly likely that he talked with Peter about why he had done such terrible things. Paul puts his severe attitude down to his being zealous for Jewish traditions (Gal 1:14) - implying that the attitude of some of the Jesus' followers was far from zealous enough for him in those days. So a matter for discussion was what their attitude had to do with, and this would bring Jesus into the discussion, if Paul's letters are anything to go by. The reformed Paul joined them in taking a more relaxed attitude to Jewish Law traditions, a big U-turn. He had caught the bug off the Jesus-followers and become more relaxed. But there was one time when Paul argued with Peter about the Jewish Law traditions (Gal 2), so we know this could be a bone of contention between those two men. It is pretty reasonable, all in all, to infer that Peter and Paul talked about why some followers of Jesus were more relaxed about the Law - the issue where Paul's change of heart was really obvious (it's all over his letters).
So these are big things that would be of mutual interest to them to talk about – the persecution of the church, and an interest in Jesus and the church. This is as much as we can work out from the information which Paul gives us in Galatians 1. Whatever else may have been said, we have to say that those conversations had to have taken place. Otherwise, we are just not being real with ourselves about the circumstances these two men were in, as revealed by Paul's autobiographical confessions. And it would be pretty impossible for those two men to cover this ground without touching on the subject of Jesus in some way, especially given Paul's strong interest in the subject of Jesus. It has to be right to infer that Jesus figured in their discussions to some degree. It figured in why Paul had persecuted people for their beliefs, and in Paul's story of his conversion.
But we have more than that. It is interesting that when Paul makes another autobiographical comment that he had harmed the church, he tags it on the end of his account of how Jesus had appeared to Peter, then to James and then to himself, and he sounds very apologetic for having been someone they would have seen as their persecutor (1 Cor 15:3-9). These, as it happens, are once again the exact three men mentioned by Paul in Gal 1:18-19, the ones who met in those fifteen days in Jerusalem. Their stories become one story, in the way Paul tells it. Three men whom Jesus appeared to. The way Paul tells it is a sign that they had shared their stories together, the three of them. For Paul, they were no longer separate stories but shared stories: "he appeared to Peter... Then he appeared to James ... and last of all he appeared to me also..." A small sign, but it adds weight to the indirect evidence in Galatians 1 that getting acquainted meant sharing their stories in those fifteen days – especially Paul telling Peter that the risen Jesus appeared to him and he became a convert, and came to believe the beliefs of the people he used to victimise (Gal 1:23).
Of course, apart from Paul's letters, if Acts chapters 1-11 are taken into account, there is much to corroborate and fill out these episodes about Paul in Judea, especially Acts 8:3 (Paul persecuting the church) and Acts 9:26-28 (Paul meeting apostles in Jerusalem and preaching in the name of Jesus). But in this series of blogs, I'm not going to rely much on Acts, since it is something that historians have less agreement about. I'm really focussing instead on Paul's first hand eyewitness evidence. There is so much to glean from them that people rarely give attention to. It turns out that eyewitness evidence fills out a lot about the 30s.
Okay, I hear you say, we know a bit about these people who were interested in Jesus. But can we get back to talking about Jesus? That's next. We just had to know first about these people in the 30s in Judea, these ones who had an interest in Jesus before Paul ever did. Knowing that they existed with their beliefs makes the existence of Jesus more likely too. Real people of the 30s were talking about a Jesus who affected their lives, within just a handful of years of the days when Jesus is supposed to have lived and died in Judea.
Now we can turn to what they were saying about Jesus.

Abstract This paper is concerned with prototype development and motion control of a dolphin-like underwater robot. The propulsion and maneuvering of the robotic dolphin are realized with the flapping motion of the mechanical flippers and the combined heaving and pitching motions of the fluke. Mechanical design and control of the flipper apparatus and the flexible tail mechanism are presented. Through coordinated control of the propulsors, several swimming movements are designed. Preliminary experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.

Beyond the boycott : labor rights, human rights, and transnational activism (April, 2008)
Gay M. Seidman
As the world economy becomes increasingly integrated, companies can shift production to wherever wages are lowest and unions weakest. How can workers defend their rights in an era of mobile capital? With national governments forced to compete for foreign investment by rolling back legal protections for workers, fair trade advocates are enlisting consumers to put market pressure on companies to treat their workers fairly. In Beyond the Boycott, sociologist Gay Seidman asks whether this non-governmental approach can reverse the "race to the bottom" in global labor standards.Beyond the Boycott examines three campaigns in which activists successfully used the threat of a consumer boycott to pressure companies to accept voluntary codes of conduct and independent monitoring of work sites: The voluntary Sullivan Code required American corporations operating in apartheid-era South Africa to improve treatment of their workers; in India, the Rugmark inspection team provides 'social labels' for handknotted carpets made without child labor; and in Guatemala, COVERCO monitors conditions in factories producing clothing under contract for major American brands. Seidman compares these cases to explore the ingredients of successful campaigns, as well as the inherent limitations facing voluntary monitoring schemes. Despite activists' emphasis on educating individual consumers to support ethical companies, Seidman finds that, in practice, they have been most successful when they mobilized institutions—such as universities, churches, and shareholder organizations. Moreover, although activists tend to dismiss states' capabilities, all three cases involved governmental threats of trade sanctions against companies and countries with poor labor records. Finally, Seidman points to an intractable difficulty of independent workplace monitoring: since consumers rarely distinguish between monitoring schemes and labels, companies can hand pick monitoring organizations, selecting those with the lowest standards for working conditions and the least aggressive inspections. Transnational consumer movements can increase the bargaining power of the global workforce, Seidman argues, but they cannot replace national governments or local campaigns to expand the meaning of citizenship. As trade and capital move across borders in growing volume and with greater speed, civil society and human rights movements are also becoming more global. Highly original and thought-provoking, Beyond the Boycott vividly depicts the contemporary movement to humanize globalization—its present and its possible future. [from publisher web site]

Q: How can I inject HttpServletRequest attributes (set in interceptor) in my controller? I want to add an attribute to all my requests before they reach the controller.
What I am using :
@Component
public class SessionValidatorInterceptor implements HandlerInterceptor {
@Override
public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler)
throws Exception {
.... some code ....
request.setAttribute("validRequest","true");
.... more code ...
return true;
}
Now to get this attribute in my rest controller I am doing :
public ResponseEntity<?> someMethod(HttpServletRequest request){
request.getAttribute("validSession");
...
My question is can I do this more elegantly like @RequestParam("validSession") or @PathVariable or something else?
Can Spring do this for me ?
Appreciate any help.
A: In Spring 4.3 the @RequestAttribute annotation was added just for this.
public void yourMethod(@RequestAttribute("validRequest") boolean valid)
something like that should do the trick.
If you are on an earlier version of Spring you can implement your own HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to do the same.
A: Simply use @RequestAttribute
Like this
public ResponseEntity<?> someMethod(HttpServletRequest request,
@RequestAttribute("validSession") String xyz){
}
Since, Mr. Denim didn't post answer, i thought why not me. ^_^

Home Article The Republican Con Game
The Republican Con Game
by Robert Kuttner
With the economy softening and corporate scandals continuing to unfold, November's elections should spell good news for the opposition party. But Democrats are making only marginal headway.
One reason is that Republicans have gotten so good at stealing the atmospherics of Democratic themes (though rarely the substance). Master Republican strategist Karl Rove, the chief White House political adviser, has encouraged GOP candidates to blur partisan differences, especially where Democrats have the more popular position.
Also, a lot of the issues are fairly complex. So if a Republican candidate insists that she, too, favors a crackdown on corporate crooks, or legislation to safeguard pensions, or a prescription drug program, few voters have the attention span to pursue the details.
Republicans are also running away from positions they've espoused in the past, such as privatization of Social Security (which no longer looks like a political winner in a falling stock market). For example, in the very close South Dakota Senate contest, each candidate is accusing the other of being soft on Social Security privatization.
The Republican, U.S. Rep. John Thune, has TV ads contending that his Democratic opponent, Sen. Tim Johnson, is a supporter of "privatizing" Social Security. You'd have to be a real policy wonk to know that in the mid-1990s, some Democrats, including Johnson, supported allowing a portion of the system's surplus to be invested in stocks and bonds but that no individual retiree would be at risk of loss.
Republicans, by contrast, have advocated individual accounts leaving individuals exposed to the risks of market downturns. Thune voted to set up a commission whose specific mandate was to come up with a way to convert part of Social Security to individual accounts.
Another example is the bill passed by the Republican House last April, supposedly to protect workers' 401(k) pension plans from Enron-style wipeouts. How many voters know or care that the Republican bill actually weakens existing protections in two key respects?
The GOP measure removes a provision in current law requiring less-well-paid employees to get the same basic pension options and protections as more highly paid ones. And it introduces new conflicts of interest by allowing the same company that runs the plan for the employer to peddle products to employees.
The Senate leadership's draft bill does not contain these loopholes. But even the press finds these telling details almost as opaque as many voters do. The New York Times, in a recent roundup of key legislative issues facing Congress, explained only that ''The House approved a bill in April that its authors said would help safeguard 401(k) retirement plans after the Enron scandal. The Senate Democratic leadership is developing a proposal that it says would go further.'' Either the editors decided that reporting the actual differences in the two bills was not worth the space or the reporter concluded that a comparison, much less some conclusions, would violate journalistic objectivity.
The Democrats are also sitting ducks for this Republican blurring strategy because the differences between Democratic approaches and their Republican imitations often aren't striking enough to generate clear distinctions.
The Democrats, for example, have criticized Bush's fiscally disastrous $1.35 trillion tax cut, but they haven't had the nerve to demand its repeal. The Democratic approach to prescription drug coverage for senior citizens would provide a lot more coverage than the Republican version. But it doesn't squarely face the cost crisis, and it still leaves middle-class people paying a lot out of pocket.
A related problem is that some Democrats feed at the same corporate trough as Republicans. So the more conservative of Democrats want to go only so far in their reforms.
For example, the creative accounting abuses involving stock options to corporate executives have now been so thoroughly documented that dozens of corporations have voluntarily changed their accounting systems to count options as ordinary expenses. But when Democratic Sen. Carl Levin proposed to include such a requirement in reform legislation, many of his Democratic colleagues deserted him.
Once, Democrats had enough nerve and conviction that you didn't need a magnifying glass to tell the difference between Democratic and Republican positions. And the GOP had enough self-respect that it didn't camouflage its proposals as just like Democratic ones.
If ever there was a corporate-dominated economy and a corporate-dominated administration, it is this election year. Now that the seamier side of corporate America is facing exposure, the Republicans should face severe political embarrassment. But whether they actually will is mainly up to the Democrats.

Who went online or visited a number of boutiques that dropped the COACH & RODARTE collection which is a limited edition capsule collection that includes a number of leather handbags, jackets, dresses and even yummie sweatshirts that are perfect for transitional weather when we're running to brunch or getting necessary errands out of the way. This artistic collection combines both of these iconic houses together as a means to put a twist on the classics and to see leather craftsmanship in a new way.
"Rodarte's conceptual approach to American style was the perfect lens to reimagine nostalgic Coach pieces," Stuart Vevers, Coach's Creative Director stated. "The mash-up of influences resulted in a romantic cool collection that feels right for both houses." Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte were able to design handbags which is not found in their line and was brought forward in this collaboration.
The line includes rocker styles in black as well as neutrals from soft blends to creamy leathers. There's something for everyone to make it easily worn in whatever style you rock from day to day. | {

Kenny Looking Forward To Step Up For Dublin Hurlers
Dublin boss Mattie Kenny admits it doesn't matter who the Dublin Hurlers get in the League Quarter Finals
This Sunday, Waterford and Galway will play to decide the final positions in the Division 1B Hurling League table. Wexford, Kilkenny, Cork and Tipperary will decide the final two slots in the Division 1A League Table. The only thing set in stone so far is Limerick finishing top of 1A and Laois fourth in 1B. And they face off on Saturday in the first of this year's Quarter Finals.
No matter what happens in the Galway v Waterford match, the Dublin hurlers will almost definitely finish in second position. Which means they'll face whoever is third in 1A. As it stands now Clare are sitting in the second slot in 1A. But Wexford, Kilkenny or Cork could leapfrog them depending on Sunday's results. So it's still no clearer who Dublin will face.
Due to the rescheduled games this weekend, and with Dublin playing out their final round game with a win over Laois on Sunday, it give the Dubs are rare break and a little bit more preparation time for their last eight encounter. And they can watch the action unfold as it happens this Sunday. But the Dublin boss will not be speculating on a potential opponent.
"Whoever we get it's going to be a really good challenge but it's something we're really going to look forward to." Kenny told Official Dublin GAA.
"There's no point even looking at that Division 1A table now and wondering who you're likely to play."
"That Division 1A has been very, very competitive in the last five or six weeks."
Dublin's high ambitions in the hurling world
No matter what happens in their Quarter Final, Kenny has to be extraordinarily proud of how the Dublin players have performed this year so far. Around this point twelve months ago Dublin had finished five rounds of the league with four points in the table, only narrowly beating Antrim in Round 2, and comprehensively beating Laois in Round 5. But with the two mentioned teams only winning one game each it awarded Dublin a Quarter Final slot against eventual finalists Tipperary.
This time around there's certainly a more accomplished feeling in the camp. And only dropping points to Galway in Salthill is definitely a step up since last year. Dublin will start their Championship journey off against Kilkenny. And Kenny is seeing the commitment already from the panel he's chosen.
"Their attitude at training, the way they've worked at training, they're very, very coachable." he declared.
"We want to get to the next level and to drive on the Dublin senior team and Dublin hurling in general."
"I think everyone in the group is focused on that."
Dublin's biggest result this year so far has to be their win over Waterford a few weeks ago in Parnell Park. And that was a sign to all supporters of their intent for the year. And what's even more reassuring than a front six who are as changeable and as diverse as we've seen in a long time, is a back six prepared to stand firm against attack and break down an opponent. It will be over the next month that Kenny really will know what he has in his armoury, when facing 1A opposition.
"The next few weeks will give us a good barometer of where we're at and what we need to do between then and the Championship."

There is something very alluring about the South Pacific – it is more than just the sum of its parts; more than just post-card views, more than just unique cultural experiences and more than just a tropical paradise. The 'island time' simplicity and relaxed atmosphere of the South Pacific allows you to unwind, destress and think about life from a different point of view. Suddenly, all the things that seemed important yesterday will drift away in the cool ocean breeze, leaving you feeling light and unburdened.
We know the South Pacific like the frond of every palm – we have explored every single destination that we specialise in. No matter where in the South Pacific you are traveling to, a member of the Spacifica team has been there before you. We've stayed in the properties, we've taken the tours and we've enjoyed the local hospitality. This exploration is what gives us the insider-knowledge to provide the best South Pacific holidays and experiences.
There are many different cultures and nationalities that call the South Pacific home, and while they vary significantly, you will notice that they all have one thing in common – they are all very grounded. They are humble, they are community-based, they are respectful and they put a much stronger emphasis on forging long-lasting relationships and experiencing life than they do on owning possessions.
At Spacifica Travel, we aspire to practice these same characteristics in everything we do – from the respect that we treat our customers with, through to the strong relationships that we forge with our suppliers. All our South Pacific holidays are designed to immerse the traveller into the local community and to provide them with a truly authentic and humbling experience.
We are confident in our product and our service, and that is conveyed in our friendly and out-going personality. Our team are all professional travel consultants who have been working in the industry for several years. They are genuinely excited about helping you plan your trip and creating a unique South Pacific experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. We know that after you've visited the South Pacific once, you will keep returning year after year because one trip is never enough to experience everything.
Our logo has been developed with a fresh South Pacific look in mind, while being memorable, contemporary and unique to Spacifica Travel. The icon has three distinct symbols. The wave is synonymous with islands and ocean, a person with arms outstretched representing the welcoming nature of the people of this wonderful region and the helpful Spacifica Travel team, and a palm tree signifies the nature and relaxation of the South Pacific and a symbol of life and abundance for our island friends. When all elements combine they form a compass to help you find your true North. | {

Susannah Davda is a highly experienced footwear professional, and advocate for comfortable, beautiful shoes. She is the founder and director of The Shoe Consultant Ltd. In this guest blog she gives us 5 good reasons why it is crucial to find shoes which are the correct width for your feet.
There are many reasons for wearing well-fitting footwear, and here are just five fantastic motives to know your foot width, and dress it accordingly.
Shoes which are too narrow can result in corns (often on the outer side of your little toes), and can trigger or aggravate bunions. Corns can usually be removed, but will recur if you continue to wear ill-fitting footwear. The tendency for bunions is hereditary, so have a look at your mum/aunt/sister's feet, and select your shoes accordingly.
If bunions become too severe, they may need to be operated upon. You'd be wise to avoid squeezing your bunion-prone feet into restrictive footwear.
Poorly fitting footwear can cause you pain, or at least make you uncomfortable. There are many studies which show a correlation between pain and a bad mood. Well-fitting shoes can help you to feel happier and more confident. They also let you walk with a bold stride, which gives a strong impression to other people.
You should avoid at all costs that situation where you have to remove your painful footwear and walk barefoot. I have heard very unpleasant stories about the kind of infections you can get, when you tread on something sharp.
Don't ruin your day for the sake of some fancy ill-fitting shoes.
Shoes which are too narrow can result in some ugly-looking effects. If the footwear is closed in but the upper material is quite thin, you may well be able to see an outline of your toes bulging at the sides. If this bulge is quite extreme and overhangs the edge of the sole, then it can affect the longevity of the shoes. This is because the upper touches the ground, and isn't protected by the sole.
This effect becomes much worse when you're wearing open sandals, as this can mean your feet overhang the sole and actually touch the ground. You might as well be going barefoot!
Bulging can also occur on pumps or court shoes, on the top or sides where the shoe ends and your foot begins. You can also get red marks on your feet around these areas from pinching or rubbing.
Don't think that buying the widest fit possible will automatically create a comfortable environment for your feet. If your footwear is too wide, your feet will move around a lot. This friction can result in uncomfortable corns on the balls of your feet.
If your slip-on shoes or sandals are too wide, this can mean that your toes have to grip to keep the footwear on. Give your poor toes a rest by wrapping them in something perfectly-fitting.
Your feet are wonderful bespoke creations, designed to support your unique body. Having wider feet can actually be an advantage, as the support they give can help to prevent back problems.
If you have wider feet, then it's wise to let them do their job, rather than putting them in shoes which have a corset-like effect, and which don't let them spread. Too narrow shoes create a smaller surface for your entire body weight to balance on.
Get your feet measured for length and width, to ensure you're wearing the correct size of footwear. More brands than ever are stocking wider-fitting styles, so comfortably covering your feet has never been easier.
Be kind to your feet, and don't forget to visit your chiropodist regularly. They'll be able to provide advice and treatments tailored to you. Chiropody isn't just for older people. It can benefit anyone who has even the slightest foot niggle.
My feet are pretty wide and shoes never fit me!I didn't know that shoes that are too narrow can result in corns and bunions. I don't want to have to deal with those issues, so I bet investing in shoes that are the correct width would help my feet problems down the road. | {

The right to disagree and challenge the disorder of society does not give anybody right to anti-nationalism.
Recent events in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Press Club of India (PCI) should be tackled with an iron hand and the hypocrisy of different political ideologies must be set aside. The Bill for the establishment of JNU was placed in the Rajya Sabha on September 1, 1965 by the then Education Minister, M.C. Chagla. Suffice to say, Chagla would have never envisaged that the university would become a den of anti-national slogans instead of a bastion for scientific socialism. Similarly, the founding members of Press Club, would have never thought that the walls of a club would be witness to anti-India expressions six decades later.
The JNU Bill was passed in Lok Sabha on 16th November 1966 and the JNU Act came into force on 22nd April, 1969. The varsity, which has been functioning since 1976, has a campus spread over nearly 1000 acres of land. The campus today houses around 7500 students who come from all parts of the country and abroad, and from all sections of society. There are over 500 faculty members in addition to administrative staff who, along with students, live on campus, and interact with each other irrespective of social or professional status. JNU has often boasted about the unique feature of its Students' Union managing its affairs without any intervention by the authorities.
The ten Schools and four special Centres of the University produce high-quality research publications, books, working papers, and M.Phil and Ph.D theses. JNU alumni occupy important positions, in academia, government, private sector, and other walks of life. But the recent event has planted a serious question in the minds of all well-meaning people. How can an academically and socially vibrant space find itself enmeshed in so many unacceptable controversies? Can the right to have that space to express views lead to something like this?
slogans against Rajiv Gandhi were raised when he visited JNU as the Prime Minister. Left wing-supported students' unions were in control those days. Some of those who vehemently opposed the entry of Indira and Rajiv in JNU later occupied key positions in the Congress party, but National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress could never gain any recognisable ground in the campus.
It is good that debates are central to both JNU and PCI. They are welcome to learn more outside the classroom. It is also good that when schizophrenic media goes berserk against the reds-under-the-beds in the heart of the national capital or against saffron forces resolutely trying to re-write the basics of JNU, we chose to ignore it. Journalists must also get maximum freedom to argue their points. But, ignoring the recent slogans raised by whosoever on the campus of JNU and on the first-floor corridor of PCI is bound to invite, and rightly so, an intervention from the state quarters.
This is the time when rather than playing blame game all students' organisations and journalists' associations must come together and decisively fight these elements. All the left wingers are not naxals or pro-extremists. Equality, freedom of speech, and tolerance are not cuss words. All the right-wingers are also not fascists, lumpens, goons, and perverts. Selective amnesia cannot be an answer to current problems. All those who think that freedom of speech is under threat should understand that no one enjoys a monopoly over this freedom. The handful of students in JNU or journalists in PCI are not the representative faces of these institutions of great repute. To save them from the current slime-slinging and persecution is the responsibility of each one of us. Incubation of ideas, protection of free speech and dissent—the right to disagree with and challenge the disorder of society and the state is fine, but all this does not give anybody right to anti nationalism.
I personally claim no special insight into Satan's methods, but I have at times been able to identify his influence and his actions in my life and in the lives of others. When you are on your mission, Satan seeks to divert you from your future path and to destroy your usefulness. Over the past few years, there has been a revival of student political mobilisation on campuses around the country. Serious questions on social change and nation building are raised among students in universities across the nation.
At such time JNU-PCI type events have seriously jeopardised the chances of nationwide debates on basic issues. If we do not nip these diversionary tactics in the bud, the real concerns such as caste discrimination in institutions of higher learning will have no option but to take a back seat in the days to come. It would be dangerous. Therefore, everybody must understand that one cannot oppose one's nation while opposing decisions and policies of one's own government. | {

Q: How to make the equivalent of a C-style if-else statement in Erlang? How do I make the equivalent of a C-style if-else in Erlang?
if(a == b) {
expression1
} else {
expression2
}
A: Another option:
case a of
b -> expr1; %% true
_ -> expr2 %% false
end.
A: if
a == b ->
expr1;
true ->
exprElse
end
There is no real else in Erlang, you just match with true. More information at the Erlang documentation.
You have to pay close attention to the ';' terminator :
if
a == b ->
clauseN,
expr1;
cond2 ->
clause1,
clause2,
expr2;
cond3 ->
expr3;
true ->
exprElse
end
It's not a copy-paste friendly language.
A: Pattern matching is one of Erlangs many strengths and it can often be used instead of if statements. It is often more readable to pattern match on function arguments or use a case expression (which also is pattern matching).
Suppose you have a function some_function which takes two arguments. If the arguments are equal you evaluate expression1, otherwise you evaluate expression2. This can be expressed in erlang as:
some_function(A, A) -> expression1;
some_function(A, B) -> expression2.
It is quite amazing how much you can achieve with this kind of simple pattern matching. With guard clauses you can express more complicated patterns, e.g.,
some_function(A, B) when A < B -> expression3.
Another possibility is to use a case .. of expression. Your particular example would translate to
case a == b of
true -> expression1;
false -> expression2
end.
(In this case expression2 would always be evaluated since a and b are atoms and never equal to each other. Variables in Erlang are upper case.)
You can read more about Erlang expressions here.
A: if
A =:= B ->
expr1;
true ->
expr2
end
or
case A =:= B of
true -> expr1;
false -> expr2
end
or
case A of
B -> expr1;
_ -> expr2
end
or
foo(A,B), ...
...
foo(X,X) -> expr1;
foo(_,_) -> expr2.

Our 2016 Carnival Wedding was a dream come true!
Wow Lindon! Thank you so much for this review. We are so happy to hear your thoughts about us and our service.
Katie and her team were the absolute best! Katie was there every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, she arrived while hair and makeup was being done and was the very last to leave at the end of the night. There was an issue with the caterer and I was never even aware of it. Katie made sure to take care of it and make sure I didn't know about it until after my day was over. I don't know what we would have done without Katie and the A Lively Event team! I highly recommend you hire them! We had researched many other wedding planners and never for a second, worried about our choice of booking A Lively Event.
Thank you so much for allowing myself and my team to be a part of your day. We are glad we could make your day run smooth.
Liz pagan is with Perfectly Posh. She put together a themed cinco de mayo spa party for me and everything was fabulous! It was a great ladies night out with facials and a night of pampering! So much fun!
Katie from A Lively Event is truly amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are taken care of. She also makes sure to check on the vendors she is working with to make sure they are okay and see if they need anything. Katie is so easy to work with and we love working with her.
Katie and her team are PROS at their work... they will plan and execute every detail to ensure that your day is as perfect as you always dreamed! They're a joy to work with and I would highly recommend their service to anybody!!
A Lively Event is amazing to work and collaborate with. She is point on with ideas and figuring things out. She keeps everything flowing and is so nice and professional. She's always there to answer questions about any wedding or planning topic. I highly recommend! | {

It's not cold although it is a bit damp on the bike this morning but it was very good to get back on it. L's in the pool proclaiming it's good to get back in it.
Daughter meanwhile is on the train and heading over to Nottingham for two interviews, one today and one tomorrow before heading back to Manchester for another one on Friday. She seems to be packing the interviews in again which is good. Fingers crossed again.
We have a Tuesday lunchtime pub trip today as my colleague is off the rest of the week and he doesn't work Monday's either, so it's a very short week for him. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed at the Brunswick for a two week refurbishment. Nice of them to tell us. Instead they had a big vat of beef stew on the bar which was very good but more of a child portion than a proper meal.
Having switched back to my old computer at home, that one now doesn't work either. Is this some kind of curse?
It's took me a while to work what week we're on at dog training as each week has a different trainer and different attendees. Oddly today is week five and tomorrow is week one. This means I do not officially have a session this week but have two the following week. However I manage to bring next Tuesday's one forwards as there was a cancellation this week. If even I'm confused then it's going to be carnage at training with people turning up in the wrong week.
Afterwards it's good old Wainwrights in Masons. Meanwhile Derby win 3-0 at Ipswich. | {

Tetanus kills 1 person out of every 5 who get it.
Signs and symptoms include violent coughing spells that can make it hard for an infant to eat, drink, or breathe. These spells can last for several weeks.
Pertussis can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, or death.
Hib can lead to meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord coverings); pneumonia; infections of the blood, joints, bones, and covering of the heart; brain damage; and deafness.
Before there was a vaccine, Hib disease was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children under 5 years of age in the U.S.
These diseases are much less common than they used to be. But the germs that cause them still exist, and even a disease that has almost disappeared will come back if we stop vaccinating. This has already happened in some parts of the world. When fewer babies get vaccinated, more babies get sick.
Babies usually catch these diseases from other children or adults, who might not even know they are infected. A mother with Hepatitis B can infect her baby at birth. Tetanus enters the body through a cut or wound; it is not spread from person to person.
A child who is sick on the day vaccinations are scheduled might be asked to come back for them at a later date.
Any child who had a life-threatening allergic reaction after getting a vaccine should not get another dose of that vaccine. A child who has a severe (life-threatening) allergy to a substance should not get a vaccine that contains that substance. Some of these vaccines contain neomycin, streptomycin, yeast, lactose, sucrose, or latex.
Tell your doctor if your child has any severe allergies, or has ever had a severe reaction after any vaccination.
…Polio vaccine, if your child has a severe allergy to the antibiotics neomycin, streptomycin or polymyxin B.
…Hepatitis B vaccine, if your child has a severe allergy to yeast.
…PCV13 vaccine, if your child has a severe allergy to yeast, or ever had a severe reaction after a dose of DTaP (or other vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid), or after a dose of PCV7, an earlier pneumococcal vaccine.
Vaccines, like medicines, can cause side effects.
Most vaccine reactions are not serious: tenderness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given; or a mild fever. These occur soon after the shot is given and go away within a day or two. They happen with up to about half of vaccinations, depending on the vaccine.
Polio, Hepatitis B and Hib Vaccines have been associated only with these kinds of mild reactions.
Mild Problems: Fussiness (up to 1 child in 3); tiredness or poor appetite (up to 1 child in 10); vomiting (up to 1 child in 50); swelling of the entire arm or leg for 1-7 days (up to 1 child in 30)—usually after the 4th or 5th dose.
Serious problems: Long term seizures, coma, lowered consciousness, and permanent brain damage have been reported following DTaP vaccination. These reports are rare.
Brief fainting spells can happen after any medical procedure, including a vaccination. Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes can help prevent fainting, and injuries caused by a fall.
Afterward, the reaction should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor should file this report, or you can do it yourself through the VAERS web site at www.vaers.hhs.gov, or by calling 1-800-822-7967. VAERS does not give medical advice. | {

Q: After killing a pid in shell script, it remains there in the same script? I'm trying to kill a process, then verify if it's killed successfully. However I found that although it's killed, in the same script it still shows it's not killed. My script is like the following (running in a remote server by ssh first, that's why you see the remote parameter \$pid):
pid=`ps -ef | grep 'someprog' | grep sh | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2`
if [ ! -z "\$pid" ]; then
echo kill pid: \$pid
kill -9 \$pid
sleep 10
fi
pid1=`ps -ef | grep 'someprog' | grep sh | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2`
if [ ! -z "\$pid1" ]; then
echo \$pid1 is not killed yet
fi
Although I have "sleep 10", and I checked in another terminal this pid is gone, The test of pid1 is still true, and print the line "$pid1 is not killed yet". Can anyone help me so that I won't get into printing that line when it's already killed?

Constipation is generally understood as difficulty or reduced frequency in defecation. It is fairly common in children, affecting up to 30% of the population under 18. In most pediatric cases, constipation can begin when there are changes in the diet or routine, during toilet training, or after an illness.
There are two kinds of constipation in children–organic or functional. Organic means there is an identifiable cause. Fortunately, more than 95% of cases in healthy children one year or older is functional, meaning that while constipation may be an issue, there is usually no worrisome cause behind it.
The peak prevalence of constipation is typically during the preschool years. Although constipation is common, it is important to evaluate affected children to identify potential organic causes of constipation. If an organic cause cannot be addressed, then studies show that children benefit from prompt and thorough treatment interventions, typically within 3 months of the onset of symptoms.
Tardy or scanty intervention may result in stool-withholding behavior with worsening constipation and psychosocial consequences.
Common organic causes of constipation include cow's milk or other dietary protein intolerance, celiac disease and hypothyroidism. Other rare but urgent causes can be Hirschsprung's disease, spinal dysraphism, sacral teratoma, infantile botulism, Cystic fibrosis, lead poisoning or intestinal obstruction.
Treatment of constipation differs according to the cause of the problem. Some children may only require changes in diet such as an increase in fiber, fresh fruits, or in the amount of water they drink each day. Other patients may require medications such as stool softeners or laxatives. A few children may require a bowel clean-out to help empty the colon of the large amount of stool.
It is often useful to start a bowel training routine where the child sits on the toilet for five to ten minutes after every meal in order to encourage good behavior habits. If you feel your child is dealing with constipation, don't hesitate to request an evaluation from a pediatric gastroenterologist.

Top 10 Moments from 'Billions' Season 5, Episode 11: 'Victory Smoke'
Here are the top 10 moments from the latest episode of "Billions" as Axe makes his play in the cannabis space while Prince and Chuck prepare the trap to catch him….
by NerdcoreMovement
in Featured, Recaps, Top News, TV
By Damon Martin — Editor/Lead Writer
There have been a number of intricate traps and maneuvers made over the course of five seasons on "Billions" — the Ice Juice set up still seems to stand above the rest — but there was no time wasting when it came to shutting down Bobby Axelrod and his desire to become a bank.
After spending much of the season attempting to best his rival Mike Prince and deciding that transforming his hedge fund into a banking institution was the best way to do it, Axe was ready to bring his new business plan to life but he didn't see all landmines surrounding him.
The latest episode revealed how Chuck and Prince were setting up those traps and one by one, Axe started to fall into each one of them without realizing it.
By the time Axe figured out what was happening, he was already standing in the middle of a jail cell and he was just waiting for Chuck to slam the door shut on him.
There's a lot to get to with this latest episode so let's talk about the top 10 moments from "Billions" with the episode titled "Victory Smoke"…
1 ) Play The Hand You're Dealt
Just because he's got a new lease on life with his fresh kidney, Charles Rhoades Sr. is nothing if not cunning but even more so now that he's not knocking on heaven's door.
Fully installed as the trustee overseeing Axe's bank, Senior knows he has the power to make or break this new financial institution before the first nickel gets deposited. With Delaware Attorney General Moody still squeezing them at Mike Prince's behest, Senior knows that he's got leverage to get even more for himself than just the organ that saved his life.
"I want to be 20 years younger. I'll take money and power"
~ Charles Rhoades Sr.
With that, Senior asks Wendy to get him a piece of Axe's new cannabis business or at least a huge chunk of the funds he'll be banking from this new financial windfall.
2 ) A Chance to Fail
Mike Prince's daughters come to town to visit their father with a simple request — they want the chance to fail on their own by getting to work.
While Prince implores his children to enjoy their youth and the luxuries his billions affords them, both of his daughters are eager to prove themselves in business with a real opportunity at success or failure rather than just being handed everything because they are his children.
Of course, both girls acknowledge that no matter what happens they'll have a cushy landing spot provided for them because their father is Mike Prince but they want to build something on their own.
So Prince offers them a chance to work with his new digital banking startup called Hypercube — he's trying to land a major client called Fine Young Cannabis to add to his portfolio and a youthful face to his company would be a great way to entice the owner.
3 ) The Auerbach Cigars
In anticipation of bringing his bank to solvency, Axe orders up a batch of Red Auerbach's Punch Cigars — the same cigars the legendary Boston Celtics' coach used to smoke on the sideline just before a victory was secured.
Axe is pulling out the big guns because he believes victory is imminent and he wants his troops on board to ensure this win is massive for the new bank.
"After bringing nine titles to the city of Boston, he could smoke wherever he damn pleased. But his favorite place was on the bench on the parquet of the old Boston Garden when victory was assured."
~ Wags
The team at Axe Bank is preparing to light up at work but they might want to check these particular cigars because something might be blowing up before this episode is over.
4 ) The Rabbit and the Greyhound
After receiving word that the Supreme Court could be reviewing a financial services case involving the cannabis industry that could clear the way for banks to house their money, Axe realizes that time is running out for his time to secure a major company that will join his bank as soon as the order is handed down.
He learns that Prince is targeting Fine Young Cannabis and he's set up a meeting with their owner Dawn Winslow — a former music producer turned cannabis entrepreneur whose company netted $1.6 billion in revenue last year. Axe also discovers that Prince is deploying his daughters to secure the deal and to make matters worse, Dawn Winslow won't even consider dealing with Axe's bank.
That forces Axe to up the pressure on his people to deliver Fine Young Cannabis.
Meanwhile back at the New York Attorney General's office, Chuck is watching Kate Sacker prepare her brief to go before the Supreme Court and he's meeting with Prince for the next stage of their plan.
Unfortunately, Prince is getting cold feet because he's feeling awfully guilty about using his daughters to land Fine Young Cannabis as a business partner only because he's setting up Bobby Axelrod.
Chuck offers him some words of wisdom that may help him with his parenting as well.
"You can't safeguard your kids from pain. But you can protect them from evil. And we both know that's what Axe is. And that's what a world is that bows before him. They're how he knows you're serious. And that it hurts you to use them, that's why you're the man you are."
~ Chuck
5 ) Fair Warning
Chuck does his best to warn his father to do the right thing when it comes to his duties as the trustee overseeing Axe's bank.
Of course, Senior brushes off his warning and reminds his son that he's been at this game for quite a while and he's not ready to hang up his glove just yet.
While Chuck believes his father is setting himself up for failure and a sad exit like Willie Mays playing for the New York Mets at the end of his career, Senior isn't ready to leave the field until he's forced out of the game.
"You play until your feet break and they carry you off the field in a box. And if that's not convenient for you, like Billy Joe Royal sang 'I never promised you a rose garden."
~ Chuck Rhoades Senior
Against his son's wishes, Senior goes to visit the Delaware A.G. but rather than telling him all the bad things Axe is doing with his bank, he reports that everything is above board. In fact, Senior tells the A.G. to life the probationary terms so Axe can move forward with his bank.
Needless to say, A.G. Moody warns Senior that by giving Axe a free pass, he's wrapping himself up in the business, which means if prosecution comes swinging down like a hammer, he'll just be another nail along the wall.
6 ) Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing to Fuck Wit
In order to secure Dawn Winslow's business at Fine Young Cannabis, Axe pulls out all the big guns.
He sends Wags to meet with her along with a gift — the one of a kind Wu-Tang Clan album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" that was auctioned off as a single copy for $2 million to a wormy pharmaceutical executive, who ended up in prison.
Axe presents it to her as a gift along with the present her company really needs — television advertising.
Because cannabis is still illegal on a Federal level, TV networks won't touch advertising involving the drug but Axe believes it's all about to become legal so he calls in a favor with an old friend to ensure he's got a major partner on board to promote Dawn's business.
Enter Franklin Sacker — Kate's father and a titan of the TV industry.
Franklin agrees to help Axe get the cannabis ads on his networks thanks to the inside knowledge that his daughter is about to argue a case before the Supreme Court to see the drug legalized but even more important — Axe offers to personally fund her upcoming run for Congress since she's refusing to take a dime of his money.
Of course, Axe will make it all seem like grassroots fundraising but he knows delivering a Congressional seat to his daughter is the perfect enticement to bring Franklin on board.
With that, Dawn ditches Prince and decides to go with Axe.
7 ) A Trip to Fiji
With victory smokes in hand, Wendy calls Axe and congratulates him on the nice gesture to get his team ready to celebrate but she wonders what he's doing to reward himself with this latest venture.
Axe then asks Wendy if she's ever been to Fiji — and she has not.
It turns out, Axe went there himself last year but he returned home early because he said his kids didn't like it but it seems much more likely that he was getting lonely there without a beautiful woman by his side.
Axe then entices Wendy to take a trip with him once this deal closes while tempting her with a fact about the air and the water around that island.
"The ocean there's the exact same temperature as the air. And so when you walk into the water, you don't even feel it."
~ Axe
The bond between Axe and Wendy is continuing to grow and evolve as they look to transition their relationship from friends and professional allies to something much, much more.
Sadly it seems that trip to Fiji might get put on hold thanks to Wendy's ex and his plan to bring Axe back down to Earth once and for all.
8 ) Father of Mine
After learning that her father was teaming up with Bobby Axelrod with his plans for the weed business, Kate Sacker doesn't want to see him go down in flames with everybody else.
But Chuck warns her that she can't alert Franklin to what's coming next because if he ducks out unexpectedly, it could alert Axe that something is wrong.
So rather than warn her father to stay way, Kate goes in another direction by making a call to the Manhattan D.A. Mary Ann Gramm and offers her a high profile case that will get her national headlines. She turns over evidence that her father has been involved in price fixing, which will land him in jail but eventually the case will end with some hefty fines and a legal slap on the wrist.
She does all this behind Chuck's back and he finds out by watching Franklin Sacker get taken away in handcuffs on the news.
When Chuck confronts her, Kate doesn't deny her involvement but tells him that she just couldn't stand by to watch her father end up in a jail cell next to Axelrod. Rather than disobey his direct orders, she found a way around it by taking her father off the board with a completely unrelated legal problem.
With Franklin Sacker and his media buys no longer enticing Fine Young Cannabis to go with Axe Bank, Bobby has to figure out a new way to keep that business. A call from Mike Prince gloating like he was responsible for Franklin Sacker's arrest only pushes Axe's buttons that much more but it's another bit of deception that really puts him behind the 8-ball.
At Chuck's direction, Taylor takes a meeting with Lawrence Boyd — the disgraced former head of Spartan-Ives, a company that was dismantled and he was sent to prison by Chuck Rhoades with some gentle nudging from Bobby Axelrod. Taylor tells him about Axe's plans for the cannabis industry, which gets Lawrence Boyd very interesting in swooping into steal it right out from under him.
Rian — the morally confused trader working under Taylor — then goes and reports this news to Wendy while complaining that she doesn't want to work at a company fueled by secrets and backroom deals. Except she's setting one up right now.
9) Fine Piece of Daughter
For the past couple of episodes, Wags has been wining and dining a young woman named Chelz and after looking for engagement rings, he finally decides it's time to meet her family — in particular her father.
So Wags and Chelz arrive at his house for the meeting but he asks her for a big kiss before coming face to face with her dad. When the door opens, the man standing on the other side is Mick Nussfaur — the businessman who Wags took a burial plot from a season ago only to be embarrassed when he tried to join an exclusive men's club where dressing up as a woman is part of the initiation.
The only problem was Nussfaur orchestrated the invitation to Wags in order to embarrass him as revenge. Wags promised to pay him back and it turns out balling his daughter was the perfect plan.
"Hey there dad! Is it too soon? I look forward to long talks, throwing the ball around."
While Chelz promises bloody revenge of her own at first, Wags eventually reveals that despite his desire to get back at her dad, the feelings he had for her became all too real. Despite those feelings, Wags had to go through with his planned vengeance for her father just because he fucking had to — but now he wants to build something real with her.
Chelz agrees and she kisses Wags, much to the horror of her father who is still standing in the doorway.
10 ) No Way Out
After learning that Taylor was seeking a deal with Lawrence Boyd behind his back, Axe deploys Wags to sever ties with them by essentially telling his former prodigy that they will no longer be able to do any deals without extreme oversight including scrutiny from Hard Bob, Spyros and Victor, who will be setting up shop in their office from this day forward.
Meanwhile, Manhattan D.A. Gramm figures out after arresting Franklin Sacker that this was all part of a major orchestrated sting from Chuck to finally get Axelrod. Rather than warning Axe, she decides to work with Chuck after he agrees to clear all criminal cases through her office from here on out — except for one very important case.
He wants to take down Dawn Winslow and Fine Young Cannabis as well as the dominoes that will fall behind her, which means Bobby Axelrod.
Thanks to his desperation to beat Mike Prince at his own game, Axe not only gives Fine Young Cannabis an interest rate on the money the company will house at his bank — an offer he flat out refused to give earlier — but he also gifts her his summer home free of charge. That's more than enough for Dawn to sign on the dotted line as she begins shopping pallets of cash to be deposited into Axe's bank.
The only problem is Dawn Winslow is on her way to jail.
It seems in order to flourish with her weed company, Dawn was also quietly running a criminal enterprise with illegal drug money. Chuck knew this because he combed through every weed company out there until he found one that would go down hard once he prosecuted them.
Knowing that Dawn Winslow will do anything to save her own ass, he's counting on her to flip on Axe and that will put him in the jail cell that's had his name on it since season 1.
Back at Axe's shop, Taylor celebrates privately with Rian, who followed through with the plan to reveal that information to Wendy in order for her to run it directly back to Axe.
And then finally Wags tells everyone in the office to extinguish those victory smokes because Dawn Winslow is going to be taken into custody for drug trafficking and because Axe was banking her money, he's going down with her. The entire team is ready to deploy at his orders but there's only one problem.
Axe has no clue how he's going to get out of this one.
Wags: "What do you want us to do?"
Axe: "I have no fucking idea"
By all accounts, Axe will be sitting in a jail cell very soon and he'll have Chuck, Mike Prince and Taylor Mason to thank for it.

Elinor's Culture Club donates 700 diapers!
Alyssa's Diaper Drive
Alyssa Cosentino, a Junior at South River High School, decided to do a community service project. She learned about the need for diapers and searched for local organizations that distribute diapers to those in need. On the National Diaper Bank Network website (of which we are members) she found our B-FED (Baby Formula and Emergency Diapers) program, which is the only diaper bank in Central New Jersey.
Alyssa asked her Guidance Counselor to serve as an adviser for the Drive and obtained permission to conduct the Drive from school officials, who were very supportive. Alyssa promoted the Drive by putting up posters. Once the Drive was underway, school staff included a reminder to donate diapers in the daily, school-wide public address announcement.
The Drive lasted for approximately one month, during which both teachers and students donated 50 boxes of diapers. Also, a member of the School Board, who learned about the Drive while visiting the school, was able to secure a donation of another 400 boxes of diapers, containing 100 diapers each, which were left over from supplies donated in the wake of Super Storm Sandy. In addition to diapers, Alyssa received donations of 10 pairs of shoes, 40 pieces of baby clothing and boxes of baby wipes. Alyssa stored all of the donations in her house and they were subsequently picked up by a volunteer from the Anshe Emeth Community Development Corporation.
Alyssa said that running the Drive was a very rewarding experience and that she plans to run another one next year. The main lesson she learned from running this Drive is that she should be more aggressive in following up requests for help and information; if people take more than a few days to respond to a request, she would take the initiative to contact them again instead of waiting longer for a response.
Alyssa said that anyone can easily to run a Drive using the materials from the AECDC B-FED Program (links are below). Organizing a drive is not very time-consuming; Alyssa said she spent approximately 18 to 19 hours working on the Drive. Alyssa recommended having an adviser provide guidance. She said that she would be happy to provide advice to anyone who wants to organize a Drive at their school or workplace.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – The German transport ministry confirmed on Sunday that the country's federal motor vehicle authority (KBA) is conducting an official hearing into the emissions technology used in three models of car made by Opel.
Weekly Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday that the KBA had found reliable evidence that exhaust gas treatment in some models of diesel car made by PSA Group's Opel division shuts down during driving.
"Before the outcome of this hearing, nothing conclusive can be said about the inadmissibility of the defeat device," a spokeswoman for the ministry said.
Some 60,000 Opel cars worldwide of model lines Cascada, Insignia and Zafira equipped with the latest Euro-6 emissions standard are affected by the issue, 10,000 of which are in Germany where Opel is based, the newspaper reported.
The affected models' emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) exceeded statutory limits more than tenfold, it said.
An Opel spokesman said in an email responding to the Bild am Sonntag report that the company had "already in December 2015 recognized the potential for improvement and started a technology initiative to raise transparency, credibility and efficiency for the benefit of customers". | {

The Grand Juror Award Winner for Feature In Full Bloom had its North American Premiere at the festival. The debut feature written and directed by Adam Villa Señor and Reza Ghassemi, is told in both Japanese and English, and features stunning cinematography and a spellbinding score by Andrew Kawczynski, whose credits include Dunkirk and Wonder Woman. The film's international ensemble cast is headed by newcomers Tyler Wood and Yusuke Ogasawara as boxers defending their respective countries. The film explores the themes of political tension and the fighters' parallel journeys as they test the very limits of human spirit against the backdrop of corruption and painful memory. Timothy V. Murphy, Hiroyuki Watanabe, Stefanie Estes, Hazuki Kato and S. Scott McCracken round out the strong supporting cast.

Presented by KODAK, MammothFF's "Vol. 3" kicked off opening night with a never before seen, extended cut, of the Quentin Tarantino documentary QT8: THE FIRST EIGHT directed by Tara Wood and introduced by actorMichael Madsen. His son Christian Madsen was also in attendance to premiere his debut action comedy short Dinner with Grandma. From Reservoir Dogs through The Hateful Eight, QT8 takes viewers behind the camera into the mind of one of the world's most celebrated filmmakers in this documentary.

The shorts category featured the directorial debut of indie rock experimentalist and actor Lukas Haas (@LukasHaas), as he takes a swing at the emotional complexities and shallow nature of Instagram in a music video that transcends categories for his new single, She's In My Head. The multi-faceted creative weaves a tale of obsession by way of iPhone in the track's accompanying video, delivering a harsh societal critique. In addition to Haas' extensive list of TV and film credits, the video marks his directorial debut, was co-directed by Ariel Vromen, and features cameos from actor Brandon Thomas Lee and model Tess Jantschek.
Mammoth Film Festival™ aims to lead the charge for an ever-changing landscape of film and media.

Regal with the wonderful town of Mammoth Lakes, CA as its beautiful backdrop, MammothFF is held in February at the Minaret Cinemas as well as various venues throughout town.

Studies show that L-ascorbic acid stimulates collagen synthesis, provides photoprotection, stays in the skin for up to 72 hours, and prevents UV immunosuppression, a reaction that occurs in more than 90% of skin cancer patients. Collagen synthesis is essential to maintain healthy skin. Studies show that collagen decreases with aging and that photoaging accelerates the decrease. L-ascorbic acid serves as a signal, relaying a critical message to collagen genes to synthesize collagen.
Topical application of the major polyphenol antioxidant in green tea (EGCg) reduces the amount of free radicals and inflammatory prostaglandins produced by immune cells in skin in response to UVB sun rays. The results suggest that skin products containing sufficient green tea extract may help protect against UVB-induced skin aging and skin cancers.
I don't know why I'm the only person to review this cream. I've been using it for years. I am in my mid 40s and deal with adult acne, which is a huge pain. I have to use a prescription 24 hours a day acne medicine that dries out my skin. I also have wrinkles and acne fade marks. This cream is the best product I've found. It does not interfere with my prescription acne medicine, and it counteracts the drying agents. I can use it during the day and at night. If my skin is flaky I can use it under foundation to keep the flakiness at bay during the day, but I also use it at night to moisten. I use it directly over the acne medicine. I also use the MUAC retinal, sometimes all three products at the same time. No issues. I have fair, freckled skin. Although the cream is not made for eye use, and it will mildly sting if it gets into my eyes, I also use it in this area as well. I find it's more effective than regular eye cream. I can't say enough about this product.
The cream is rich and works wonders on my neck!! It broke out my face within 24 hours with acne. That was a bummer.
I'm in love with this cream. My skin looks so plump and it gives me the moisture I need. I have extremely dry skin in the winter....but thanks to AAA cream, dry skin is no longer an issue. I Use a lot of MUAC products and love them all. I will never purchase skin care products anywhere else. MUAC is the only company I trust when it comes to my skin care.
I like this product because it's feels light and my skin absorbed it well. Most importantly, it caused no breakouts. However, I probably wouldn't order it again but only because my skin drank it up so quickly, and I think my skin needs something a little more hydrating.
I am so pleased with this product. It is not a greasy moisturizer and does the trick. The ingredients are top notch and not a bunch of fillers. Only a small amount is needed, so it will last a long time. I've tried many products on the market for aging skin, and this has become part of my daily routine. Thanks for a wonderful product!
I am yet another person who cannot understand why more reviews haven't been left for this great product. It's easy to apply with its consistency and isn't too rich to cause breakouts. I normally favour pumps due to it being easier and also maintaining the goodness of the product but have made an exception with this product. I've been using it since finding MUAC.
Its hard to tell if the active ingredients are doing much since I am using a lot of other products. However, this moisturizer goes on nicely, absorbs well, not greasy, wears well under makeup, doesn't irritate my eyes if you get there.
I finally found the perfect moisturizer for my skin!!! A little goes a long way and while it may be a little pricey, you do get what you pay for IT WORKS!!! A jar lasts me nearly 3 months so the cost balances itself out as far as cost. I don't know why this doesn't have more reviews, I will never buy anything else!!! Thank you for making this wonderful product. I am 50 and my skin tends to be oily and a little dry in winter and this keeps my skin hydrated without making it an oiler. Buy it, you will ask yourself why you waited so long!!!
I received a sample of this and used it after a peel. It sped up the healing time and my skin felt and looked amazing. I just ordered another sample however my local post office lost/misdelivered my order so I am using what I have left sparingly. Speaking of, you don't even need a lot to cover your face. Amazing stuff, going to order a full size as soon as I can.
Really like this moisturizer. Absorbs well and make my skin feel smooth and youthful.
First off, I am Asian in my mid-thirties and I have normal to dry skin. I've used the AAA Cream for about 2 months now and I just finished the jar. I thought this moisturizer would be good enough to to use on a daily basis and after a peel. My skin drinks this up so fast and absorbs quickly but it's not quite enough. My skin still feels thirsty after application, especially in the winter months. I feel like this would be more suited for for people with normal or sensitive skin types.
Love this cream, has a different consistency that locks in moisture. This is my 2nd container and will keep using it.
This cream is the perfect moisturizer for my normal-to-oily acne-prone skin. At age 50, I am finding that my skin truly benefits from twice-a-day light moisture, which is what this product provides--but it also just makes my skin look and feel so much better. It absorbs perfectly, plumps skin, takes away minor dry patches, and leaves my face baby soft. It does not add any greasiness, has absolutely no fragrance, and it doesn't break me out. I use it summer and winter and it is perfect for my needs.
I also felt like it absorbed well and did not feel heavy on my skin. I have oily skin, so it is nice to have something that is not heavy and greasy feeling.
This cream smooths the texture of my skin, especially during the winter months. It's almost magical.
This is an excellent moisturiser, which has not broken me out. I highly recommend this moisturiser.
I absolutely love this moisturizer and will probably never use another one. I have already bought my second jar - this time full-size!
I used this product after I did a peel. You definitely need it after a peel. I would love to use it daily but can't afford it. You can see the difference in your face. So I used it two weeks post peel.
I had given myself a TCA peel 7 days prior to receiving the AAA creme as a sample with another product I purchased. I put it on my peel as it had been way longer than it was supposed to take and not one bit of peeling so far had occured. Within 2 days of using several times per day around my eye area the entire area is scab free and the skin underneath is soft and looks great. I also noticed when using under my make up that my skin looks smooth an luminous. I'm ordering the full size tonight. Love it!
Well, rats. I tried this instead of the TAA cream I usually buy, and wish I hadn't. Typically love MUAC products, but this was worse than using nothing. Caused cystic acne outbreak, so I thought I would try it on my hands-immediately dried them out. After two days they were red, chapped, and rough. Gave it two more days with the same results only worse. Stopped using it for two days and skin/hands improved. Really wanted to like this product even marginally, but can't really use it. Going back to the TAA cream (which is awesome) as soon as I can.
I don't usually write reviews but I've been using this cream and I love it. It leaves my skin soft and not overly greasy on my oily skin. I had some breakout from a couple of ingrown hairs, that seemed to have disappeared, getting rid of the red spots and dry skin. It has also seemed to minimize my pores and broken capillaries and I am no longer using primer over my moisturizer. I've been using it morning (as a moisturizer) and it gives me a fresh dewy look instead of the dry flakey (winter skin) I had previously. I also use at night and wake up with super soft skin.
I received a sample of this product with my order, and was excited to try it because I've been looking for a good winter moisturizer. The cream goes on very nicely, absorbs quickly and moisturizes really well—but unfortunately I was another who broke out severely after using it. Darn! All my other products are still great.
I love this product, it feels nice on my skin. No oily residue and gives my skin a healthy smooth appearance. Keep up the great work team.
So far the texture of the cream is lighter to medium, seems to soak in but not so much that it feels dry. Coverage goes on well, a little goes a long way. I've only used it for a few weeks and don't really notice a difference in my skin wrinkles or smoothness, hopefully that will come with time.
Five stars!! This cream is lovely and super- hydrating. Sinks right in and doesn't leave a greasy feeling.....fabulous!!
I wanted to like this cream, but found it to not only leave my skin dry and I actually broke out from the product.

At a ceremony in its Oberkochen headquarters, Leitz honored 57 employees for their years of employment, extending best wishes to 14 retirees.
Oberkochen, Germany - Alessandro Telesio, spokesman of the Management Board for the Leitz Group, thanked those celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2014 for their years of faithful dedication and congratulated those entering retirement. "The large number of long-term employees is a special strength of Leitz", says Telesio. A company can only successfully tackle the challenges of innovation, automation and internationalization with experienced employees on staff. "Achieving success identifies the employees with the company and vice versa", comments Telesio.
Telesio's predecessor, the former Chairman of the Board, Dr. Dieter Brucklacher, was one of those honored for 40 years with Leitz. In 2014, Dr. Brucklacher retired from the Management Board and moved to the Advisory Board of the company. Telesio and all in attendance expressed their gratitude to Dr. Brucklacher for his long-standing commitment.
Telesio took a moment to look back at the 2014 business year. Although the wood processing industry has changed structurally over previous years, "Leitz has never regarded change as a threat, but rather as an opportunity", says Telesio. The company is on the right path and has established measures to efficiently adapt to changing conditions. Among other things, we will focus strongly on product groups, markets and customers. Leitz is working toward expanding their market position in Asia. Additionally, the regional restructure of Leitz USA, has led to a significant increase in market shares.
The Chairman of the Works Council at Leitz headquarters in Oberkochen, Rainer Kopp, thanked the employees celebrating anniversaries and the pensioners. Each employee has helped carry and shape the story of Leitz over many years. Nikolaus Ebert, Mayor of Unterschneidheim, described the Leitz anniversary celebration as a special moment symbolizing the loyalty of the employees towards their company. Ebert presented an honorary certificate of Baden-Württemberg to 12 Leitz employees celebrating 40 years of employment.
Founded in 1876 in Oberkochen, Southern Germany, the Leitz Group is the worldwide leading manufacturer of tools for industrial processing of wood, wood derived materials, plastic and compound materials. The Leitz product spectrum covers the complete range of precision tools for automated machines. In a complete package of advisory services, 3,000 Leitz employees pass on their experience of cutting tools to customers so meeting daily the requirements of a complete problem solver and producing service provider. Leitz products regularly are used in more than 150 countries on earth. By 6 production locations in Europe, Asia and America, Leitz sales companies and offices in 36 countries, a close net of about 140 service stations with quick-production facilities as well as sales partners, Leitz is represented on all continents. | {

Google's DeepMind turns its virtual hand to predicting when someone might die
Vaughn Highfield Associate EditorKnown as the tallest man in tech (something he's never personally claimed to be), Vaughn writes about a broad range of technology, from VR worlds to startup culture and the best gadgets on the market. While he'll happily talk your ear off about anime, video games and all things Japan, he also pursues more regular interests such as frequenting East London hipster drinking establishments and overpriced eateries. His Mancunian accent is practically non-existent, but he still wears the term "Northerner" as a badge of honour. Read more February 27, 2018
AI can't quite help us live forever, but it could help aid medical professionals in finding the causes of unexpected patient deaths.
Working with the US Veterans Administration, Google's sister-company and AI behemoth DeepMind is attempting to learn how to predict the changes in a patient's condition that, when left unchecked, could lead to death.

DeepMind's partnership means its AI is checking the historical medical records of around 700,000 US veterans to spot "human error" around their treatment and is just the latest example of AI picking up the smaller tasks in medical care to ensure humans live more comfortable lives. Only last month did we hear about how AI was going to be rolled out in hospitals to detect heart disease and cancer, and before that, it was said it could be used to detect anomalies in colonoscopy examinations.
Using anonymised medical data taken from US veterans, DeepMind analysed the data in a bid to figure out what causes unexpected patient deterioration in a bid to spot it ahead of time. Traditionally, the role of monitoring patient conditions falls to nurses but with an increasing strain on medical resources, it's hard to expect nurses and doctors to watch patients all the time outside of doing their standard medical rounds.

Even with an array of sensors set up designed to alert medical professionals to a patient's state, it's still impossible to expect anyone to be there to respond to everyone at all times of the day.
The doctors and nurses of the future
Unlike a nurse or doctor, an AI doesn't get tired and can be omnipresent, watching over every patient it's assigned to, all at the same time. It may not be the be-all, end-all of unexpected patient deaths in hospitals but it certainly goes a fair way towards reducing the death count in US hospitals as human error is, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine research, the third-leading cause of death in the US.
Deepmind isn't diving into every single sign of patient deterioration listed in in the anonymous medical records. Instead, it's focusing on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a leading condition associated with patient deterioration. By focusing on just this one area, DeepMind is laying the groundwork for more complex and far-reaching issues.

"This is a complex challenge, because predicting AKI is far from easy," explains DeepMind's blog post. "Not only is the onset of AKI sudden and often asymptomatic, but the risk factors associated with it are commonplace throughout hospitals. AKI can also strike people of any age, and frequently occurs following routine procedures and operations like a hip replacement."
If DeepMind's plans play out as they expect, the implication upon the quality of life of patients, along with humanity's general life expectancy, would be huge. We'd live longer, fight fitter and catch early signs of anything potentially life-threatening where it's at a point we can deal with it.
Still, don't go expecting something as miraculous as the radiology machines from Elysium. We're a long way off that depressingly dark future… | {

If you haven't noticed, Tristen is absolutely killing it lately. She's been all over the place: NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, blah blah blah… Very deservedly though. Her new record, Charlatans at the Garden Gate, is easily one of the best we've heard this year. We swear it has nothing to do with the huge crush we've had on her since we saw her at the Bruce Springsteen concert a couple years ago [Don't know why, but finding a betty who likes the Boss in Nashville is like looking for the Promised Land] Anyways, she just debuted a new video for the song "Baby Drugs" that you can check out below. And if you haven't scooped the new record yet — here you go. | {

Pixar Fest is rapidly approaching and the parks are full swing in preparation. Boasting all sorts of offerings from food to fireworks, it looks like it's going to be a blast!
Following suit with past celebrations and special events, Pixar Fest is guaranteed to bring in the crowds. As we spend the last few days prepping our cameras and Pixar themed outfits, what can we expect to encounter this weekend for the big debut? Do you have a plan of attack to hit all everything you want to see?
If not, don't worry! We've got you covered! Here are a few things to help you navigate the crowds and make the most of your time during the opening Pixar Fest celebration.
Familiarize yourself with all the offerings available to you.
We'll go more in-depth with few different categories here, but it's helpful to check the current times guide and event information on the official Disneyland website. We will also be adding more happenings and details on dapsmagic.com as we get them. Bottom line, it's great to have an idea of what's available beforehand so you can plan your day accordingly.
"Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular" is sure to be a hit, utilizing the same technology as "Disneyland Forever," with projections on Main Street, Sleeping Beauty Castle, "It's a Small World," and the Rivers of America. So many awesome spots to choose from! Of these, the most popular is going to be Main Street and the Castle, so if you have your heart set on viewing the show from either of those locations, you'll want to plan ahead. It's a good idea to arrive at your spot a couple hours before showtime to ensure you get the perfect view! These two locations will also serve as the best viewpoints to see Buzz Lightyear and the Up house fly over the castle. The fireworks will be at 9:30 pm Friday night and most nights for the duration of Pixar Fest.
The Pixar Play Parade will feature brand new additional units alongside what we remember when it was across the esplanade in California Adventure. Debuting in Disneyland park will be Luxo the Pixar Lamp, Up, and Inside Out elements. It will make its way down the parade route twice a day at 3:30 pm and 6:00 pm.
The fan-favorite, Paint the Night, will illuminate Disney California Adventure twice a night at 8:45 pm and 10:45 pm along the parade route. This parade is guaranteed to draw a large crowd, so find your parade spot early regardless of which showtime you choose!
Over at the Paradise Garden Stage, TripleDent Gum presents The Pixarmonic Orchestra. While it's unclear what this music performance will entail, it's a cute homage to the commercial song that got stuck in Riley's head (and now ours) in Inside Out.
A number of food items were announced on the Disney Parks Blog last month, but we can anticipate more themed food and drinks available all over the resort over the next few months. To check out a few things that will be offered, check out our photo article here.
On Monday, the first Pixar Fest merchandise started to make its way into the resort as well as a new line of Exclusive Annual Passholder items which debuted on Wednesday. (Please see gallery below) More is expected to come out on Friday. If what was released earlier this week is any indication, this collection is going to be great fun and full of character!
Check all annual pass block out dates!
Before you make plans to visit the parks on Friday triple check your pass isn't blocked out that day! Don't forget Disney reserves the right to change blockouts if they need to. We have seen the disappointment when Guests find out their passes are blocked as they get to the turnstiles. The first day of Pixar Fest is not the day you want to experience the disappointment of arriving and not being able to enter. You can check the official blockout calendar here.
Southern California weather can change on a dime. Check your forecast! As of this post, it is expected to be warm! Please plan accordingly for comfortable clothing and do not forget to stay hydrated! *Pro Tip: You can get free ice water at any of the quick serving dining locations. If you want more tips on surviving Disneyland in the heat, check out this Dapsmagic article.
Not only are we expecting a very busy day inside the parks on Friday, the outside traffic will also reflect crowd attendance in the surrounding streets and freeways. Parking may get full so arrive as early as you can. Traffic typically backs up the streets surrounding the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure, the Toy Story lot, and exits on I-5 towards the resort. Plan accordingly to allow time for traffic when heading to the parks and check your GPS and/or traffic apps before leaving. Be patient as there is no way to get around the traffic at the resort. It is very possible that entry to parking can take an hour on these busy days.
Prioritizing is a huge factor on days like these. Will you be going by yourself? With a group? Pick what is most important to you and set your plan to concur. If merchandise and seating for fireworks is high on your list, plan your day around those. If you are attending with a group, it may be beneficial to deal out "assignments" to each member. Send one to get food, one to get merchandise, one to scope out fireworks seating, etc. Working together as a team is the best way to check off your goals.
This is very important to remember for any busy Disneyland Resort day, but especially this one in particular. The majority of park guests are going into the parks with the same goal in mind: to see all the new Pixar entertainment offerings. There will be waiting for parades, waiting for fireworks, waiting for food, waiting for merchandise, characters, and yes… even waiting for the restrooms! If patience isn't factored into your formula, it is almost guaranteed frustration will plague your day. Trust us, if you anticipate the crowds and be patient, your day will go much smoother!
Annual Passholders! You get special perks in the AP Corner in Paradise Gardens. There will be keepsakes and photo ops in this area from April 13th to June 8th. Exclusive merchandise is now available in Disneyana on Main Street, Disneyland side, and Kingswell Camera Shop on Buena Vista Street, California Adventure side. Keep your eyes peeled for special attire, drinkware, Dooney and Bourke purses, and pins! Lastly, Annual Passholders can purchase the fun, Alien-themed popcorn bucket (between April 24th-May 24th) and enjoy $1 refills on popcorn until June 21st. You can read more about the Annual Passholder offerings here.
That about wraps it up! Hopefully, these tips will help you navigate the spectacular events coming this weekend. Please let us know in the comments below if there are any other points we may have missed or if you have a tip you've utilized during busy weekends! We'd love to hear and share! | {

Q: UITextField no callback when autocorrect changes text I added a target with editingChanged to the UITextField like this:
self.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.textChanged), for: .editingChanged)
But if you are typing and iOS suggests the autocorrect and you tap next to where you are typing in the UITextField, the suggestion gets placed into the UITextField, but I did not get notified by the editingChanged.
I had the same problem with the UITextView and managed to "fix" it by setting the delegate and overriding
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool
So I tried doing the same with the UITextField and expected to get the same result. So I set the delegate and override
func textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) -> Bool
However, still no callback when the autocorrect gets applied.
As an example, this is the autocorrect I'm talking about:
If you click on the field next to the word you're typing right now, the autocorrect gets applied. But no callback.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
For anybody looking for a solution here. I don't have a solution. I kept the editingChanged and added editingDidEnd. And made sure I always called self.view.endEditing(true) before I accessed the data. Not the best solution, but for now the only one I got.

The Autism Vaccine: The Story of Modern Medicine's Greatest Tragedy
By: Forrest Maready
Narrated by: Forrest Maready
Categories: Science & Technology, Medicine
The Moth in the Iron Lung
A Biography of Polio
A fascinating account of the world's most famous disease - polio - told as you have never heard it before. Epidemics of paralysis began to rage in the early 1900s, seemingly out of nowhere. Doctors, parents, and health officials were at a loss to explain why this formerly unheard-of disease began paralyzing so many children. Why did this disease start to become such a horrible problem during the late 1800s? Why did it affect children more often than adults? Why was it originally called teething paralysis by mothers and their doctors?

Crooked: Man-Made Disease Explained
Why do babies have lopsided smiles? Why are so many people's eyes misaligned? What started as a simple search to understand this phenomenon turned into a two-year quest that uncovered hidden links between our crooked faces and some of the most puzzling diseases of our time. Crooked methodically goes through the most recent scientific research and connects the dots from the outbreak of metallic medicine in 1800s England to the eruption of neurological and autoimmune disorders so many are suffering from today.

Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness
By: Thomas Cowan MD
Narrated by: Madison Niederhauser
Over the past 50 years, rates of autoimmunity and chronic disease have exploded. In this provocative book, Dr. Thomas Cowan argues for a direct causal relationship to a corresponding increase in the number of vaccines American children typically receive. The goal of these vaccines is precisely what we're now seeing in such abundance among our chronically ill children: the provocation of immune response. Cowan looks at emerging evidence that certain childhood illnesses are actually protective of disease later in life.

Callous Disregard
Autism and Vaccines - The Truth Behind a Tragedy
By: Andrew Wakefield
In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Wakefield lost his job in London's Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. A recent General Medical Council ruling stated that he was "dishonest, irresponsible and showed callous disregard for the distress and pain of children." Maligned by the medical establishment and mainstream media, Wakefield endeavors to set the record straight.

Thimerosal: Let the Science Speak
The Evidence Supporting the Immediate Removal of Mercury - a Known Neurotoxin - from Vaccines
By: Robert F. Kennedy (editor)
Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin
From New York Times best-selling author Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., comes a science-based call for the immediate removal of the dangerous mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal from vaccines. Over a decade ago, following a sharp rise in developmental disorders such as autism and ADHD, the mercury-containing preservative Thimerosal was widely believed to have been eliminated from vaccine supplies in the United States and abroad.

The Age of Autism
Mercury, Medicine, and as Man-Made Epidemic
By: Dan Olmsted, Mark Blaxil
For centuries, medicine has made reckless use of one of earth's most toxic substances: mercury - and the consequences, often invisible or ignored, continue to be tragic. Today, global emissions of mercury as well as other toxicants, make us all more vulnerable to its effects. From the worst cases of syphilis to Sigmund Freud's first cases of hysteria, from baffling new disorders in 19th century Britain to the modern scourge of autism, The Age of Autism traces the long overlooked history of mercury poisoning.

Curing the Incurable, 3rd Edition
Vitamin C, Infectious Diseases, and Toxins
By: Thomas E. Levy MD JD, Dr. Garry Gordon
Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne
Several years ago the author, cardiologist Thomas E. Levy, MD, JD, was asked to assist Hal Huggins, DDF, with a number of Dr. Huggins's dental patients. Each of the patients was quite ill and obviously suffering with one or more very serious medical conditions. Prior to sedating each patient, Dr. Huggins asked Dr. Levy to administer a specific protocol of vitamin C. Dr. Levy had never performed, or even heard of such a practice, but was greatly impressed as each patient left the dental office markedly improved - many were asymptomatic.

The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science
By: Carey Gillam
Narrated by: Rachel Dulude
Known as Monsanto's Roundup by consumers, and as glyphosate by scientists, the world's most popular weed killer is used everywhere from backyard gardens to golf courses to millions of acres of farmland. For decades it's been touted as safe enough to drink, but a growing body of evidence indicates just the opposite, with research tying the chemical to cancers and a host of other health threats. In Whitewash, veteran journalist Carey Gillam uncovers one of the most controversial stories in the history of food and agriculture, exposing new evidence of corporate influence.
By Rohan S. Cole on 03-19-18
In the late 1800s, a new disease arrived in North America from Europe and began to claim the lives of children everywhere. Though most today have never even heard of this illness, it would routinely kill over 10,000 children in a single year - more than the polio might take in an entire decade. After much trial and tribulation, a shot was developed that helped both those already afflicted with the illness, and those who might one day become infected. But the shot was dangerous, and many parents refused it for their children.
In 1932, a safer version of the shot was developed, but contained a new ingredient never before tried on humans. Due to aggressive immunization campaigns, children all over the country began to receive this shot. Within a year, a new mental disorder - unknown to even the most knowledgeable child psychologists in the country - began to appear. It affected toddlers, and mostly boys. Children were losing the ability to speak and would take little interest in any other humans - even their parents. The Autism Vaccine chronicles the story of two of these children - one known throughout the world, the other completely unknown until recently - and why modern medicine's attempts to explain what happened to them have so far come up short.

Educational and historical scientific literature for the win!
This book was well written and educational. The author looks deep into the medical history books and follows 2 children with different lives, but similar disabilities.
The author does not diminish the horrors of diphtheria, yet he also doesn't diminish the horrors of vaccine reactions. Anyone who doesn't believe we should have safer vaccines for those who want to use them, should skip this book. If you're happy with the vaccines described in this book, for which the manufacturers have no motivation to make better, you are willfully taking the chance of harming your children for a lifetime. Increasing the cdc children's vaccine schedule from roughly 5 vaccines in the 1960's and 70's to 72 doses in today's childhood is simply not justified. Especially with no attendant increase in death or illness from those childhood infections.
Thank you, Forrest Maready, for going through the CDC Children's vaccine schedule and informing us of when each vaccine or additional dose was added.
And most of all, thank you for delving deep into the medical literature so that we can make health decisions based on facts, not media hype and pharmaceutical marketing!
Dr. Alan Bradford
Excellent production and an even better story
This is the second audio book I have enjoyed by the author. (The first being The Moth in the Iron Lung, which I also highly recommend.) Despite its seemingly sensational title, which Maready clarifies in the final chapter, this book is mostly a history of the rise of autism. He raises serious and unanswered questions surrounding the connection between the discovery of autism, the astronomical rise of the disease, and the simultaneous introduction of the practice of injecting metallic neurotoxins. For anyone with a curious mind and a distaste for the assertion that the science on this topic is "settled," this book is a must read/listen. I only wish these discussions went on while I was learning in medical school. I'm looking forward to listening to Maready's other books.
Santa Ana, Ca United States
AMAZING INSIGHT!!
Great work uncovering truth's!!! Forrest Maready talks in great length about how vaccines have been blindly pushed and we blindly take them, with very little to no research.
Eye Opening
This was by far the most eye opening book listened to. I am a mother of 2 on the spectrum and 1 with learning disabilities. We did genetic testing and found nothing so I started to wonder about what was causing it. This, along with other mom's testimonies have got me thinking about furthering my education. Well done!
Willow J. Sanders
Great Historical perspective
Great to look at the History of how we got to where we are with vaccines and aluminum toxicity. Tells the story very clearly. I highly recommend this book.
ewa front
thank you for being brave and speaking up.
As a parent I have been treated unfairly while asking my pediatrician questions about vaccines that were given to my children. Intimidated and belittled...bullied. I should have known better and stand up for them before damage was done. We need more authors like Forrest to be brave and educate parents like me with well done research collected in one place. Thank you!
mindblowing!!
I absolutely loved it! i hate the fact that we're the cause of the epidemic of autism but soo many ppl have been misguided and think tant autism is solely genetic and has been here for centuries and this book debunks those myths and proves once and for all how vaccines CAN cause things like autism and how our government has known for quite some time. thank you Forrest Maready!
Janna Carnivale
Mind blowing information!
So much good researched info that everyone should know about and those who do know need to pass on.
Matt Green
This subject is very complex. When you learn about the history of vaccination, you really start to understand how this is effecting all of us, and generations to come. You also get an idea of why people, on both ends, believe in what they believe. F. Maready does an excellent job telling our history in this book. I also appreciate his detailed thoughts with different theories.
Claire Steffen
Excellent Historical Resource
Forrest did an excellent job of gathering and chronologically stating a scary history of deception and Medical set backs over the last 100 years. I Highly recommend for all who may be curious of Autism's beginning and history as we know it. His theories should definitely be taken into consideration by the medical and research community.
Great appreciation to the author's work
A very interesting book, a must read to every parent and future parent. High time to face the ugly truth and protect our children.Very enlightening, helped me understand my own health history.
c l mcgee
As a parent who watched their child go from completely normal development - response, etc... I am surprised by none of this & it was always my opinion. Vaccine. Thank you Forrest, May people take note - I shall be spreading your book word.
This book is amazingly well told and researched and is a story that everyone MUST read!!!
Absolutely brilliant and informative
This book is easy to listen to and is so jam packed full of important research and scientific grounding that I have no hesitation recommending it to everyone and anyone at all. Regardless of your stance on vaccines, you will be more informed and can better understand the motivations behind vaccine awareness campaigns. Forrest is easy to listen to and has done a great deal of research here to bring this very well formed book to us. THANK YOU. | {

How to Hook with Yarn: Just Do It!
Can you hook with this? Yes!
Clockwise from top left: Blue, silver, and purple metallic yarns of various gauges; salvaged polyester beach rope; wool roving; silk sari ribbon; white polyester novelty yarn.
» Relaxing: Hooking with yarn uses the same basic technique as hooking with wool strips. The only difference is in the material being hooked. As compared to wool strips, I find hooking with yarn can be less technical and more forgiving.
» Portable: Simplify your life and work with pre-dyed yarn. High quality yarn is available almost anywhere. Pieces hooked with yarn can also be substantially smaller than pieces hooked with wool strips, which means far less workspace is required. Sometimes I even hook in the car as we travel.
» Quick: You don't need to cut wool strips, so there is little preparation required before sitting down to hook. If you avoid dyeing your own yarn, there is no preparation time at all. And less preparation time means more hooking time!
» Fun: Some makers of yarn are artists in their own right and have created a wide range of colors and textures in both wool and artificial materials. You can experiment with shiny metallics, fuzzy polyesters, and other intriguing novelties. You can even mix in random fibers that you pick up off of the beach.
You will probably have detected from these benefits that I am a very informal artist. I was trained in enough rules in my first profession that I do not seek them out now in my art. The great beauty of hooking with yarn is how few rules one needs to achieve a fully professional finish. When reading this article, do not believe for a moment that I studied anything technical before I made my first composition. I gave it a try, learned what I liked, and looked up the terminology later. I encourage everyone that I teach to do the same.
Hooking with yarn is very similar to hooking with a very thin-cut wool strip. Both materials allow you to achieve a higher resolution in your image as compared to larger-cut wools. This gives you two flexibilities as an artist: you can capture more detail in your piece, or you can capture the same amount of detail but in a smaller piece. I have typically chosen the latter benefit, regularly working in as small as a 5" x 7" format, but I have also made pieces as large as four feet wide. | {

'Camogie Made Us' Finalist: Newmarket on Fergus, Co. Clare
A proud Clare girl from the town of Newmarket-on-Fergus, Kaci has a proud family history in the GAA. Her mother captained the club camogie side, and many moons ago her grandfather was called up to represent the County Clare senior hurling team. It's no surprise then that she would follow in their footsteps, and has learned strength, discipline and courage along her way to fulfilling her dream of playing in Croke Park. | {

THE amazing vitality of the strike of Local 574, and its ability to survive the heaviest blows and come back fighting, are evoking continued amazement and admiration in the ranks of the general labor movement. The prestige of Local 574 extends far beyond the borders of Minneapolis.
This was strikingly demonstrated by the enthusiasm of the International Convention of the Hotel and Restaurant Workers International Alliance and Bartenders International League, and its generous donation of $1,000. This is a lot of money to donate to the strike of a local union in another trade, and could not have been possible if the delegates, coming from all parts of the country, had not been deeply stirred by the magnificent fight of our union.
Trade unionists, including many labor leaders of a more or less conservative tendency, have paid tribute to the fighting abilities of Local 574 and its methods of conducting the struggle against the heaviest odds. Even those who have taken part in important labor struggles and studied the history of others, recognize something new and different in Local 574's way of doing things, something which enables it to stand its ground and keep on fighting where an ordinary trade union would have folded up long ago.What is the secret of this remarkable vitality and resourcefulness? What is "different" about Local 574?
The answer is, that almost everything is different. By its constitution and affiliation, Local 574 is an ordinary trade union, indistinguishable from thousands of others. But within the framework of the old-line trade-union movement, represented by the A.F. of L., our Local has evolved methods of organization and forms of activity which go far beyond the traditional craft-union methods and ideas.
The outward form is old-fashioned and "regular, " but the inner content is modern and pulsating with new vigorous life. In one sense of the word it can be said that Local 574 represents a fusion of the new and the old at the moment when the American labor movement as a whole stands before the prospect of great changes to meet the modern needs of the workers. No single one of the distinct features of our strike can explain the full significance of Local 574 as the herald of this new movement evolving within the formal framework of the old. The new features and methods of work fit and supplement each other. They are combined by a unifying idea, and it is this combination that gives Local 574 its power and fighting capacity.
Nevertheless, each of the distinct features brought out in this strike has its own separate importance and deserves special study. Trade unionists who want to get at the heart of the whole method of 574, and learn its secret, ought to devote attentive study to each of these features separately.
One of the many distinct contributions made by Local 574 to the labor movement is the organization of the womenfolk of the strikers and their direct participation in the strike through the Ladies' Auxiliary. Even if this organization doesn't function perfectly, and still suffers from the weakness that always goes with inexperience, it has shown itself to be a real power in this strike, as it already did in the May strike to a lesser extent. The Ladies' Auxiliary is so much a part of the strike and carries such heavy burdens, that it is taken for granted as an indispensable part of the union. Nobody even thinks of going on without it.
It is hard to realize that other unions go into struggle without such a valuable ally. Yet this is what happens in nearly every case. Local 574 is one of the very few local unions that have understood the necessity of organizing the women and making their organization a vital part of the strike machinery.
There is an idea behind this, also. Local 574 doesn't take any stock in the theory that capital and labor are brothers, and that the way for little brother labor to get a few crumbs is to be a good boy and appeal to the good nature of big brother capital. We see the issue between capital and labor as an unceasing struggle between the class of exploited workers and the class of exploiting parasites. It is a war. What decides in this war, as in all others, is power. The exploiters are organized to grind us down into the dust. We must organize our class to fight back. And the women are half of the working class. Their interests are the same as ours and they are ready to fight for them. Therefore: Organize them to take part in the class battle. This is the idea behind the wonderful organization of the Ladies' Auxiliary, and its effective cooperation with the union in the struggle.
Of course, Local 574 cannot claim to be the pioneer in grasping this idea and carrying it into practice. There have been numerous examples of attempts along this line on the part of other organizations, although seldom has it been done as effectively. The greatest example of effective organization of women - one that did much to inspire us - belongs to the Progressive Miners of Illinois.
This organization carried on some heroic struggles during 1932-1933 and needed extraordinary resources to survive. One of these resources, which played a decisive part in keeping the union alive and beating back its enemies, was the. Women's Auxiliary of the Progressive Miners. The great importance of organizing the women, even where they are not directly employed in industry, was brought out very clearly in this experience. The Women's Auxiliary of the Progressive Miners set the pace for the whole labor movement and by right holds first place as the real pioneer.
Local 574 learned from this example and was influenced by it to encourage and assist the organization of our women. That, by the way, is another merit of our union and its leadership-they watch what is going on in the world of labor, and they study the experiences of other workers and learn from them. | {
