A collective effort is needed to create the environmental research infrastructure for answering pressing questions in a world of rapid social, economic and environmental change. The overall aim of the eLTER project is to advance the European network of Long-Term Ecosystem Research sites and socio-ecological research platforms to provide highest quality services for multiple use of a distributed research infrastructure.
eLTER´s major objectives and methods are to: (1) identify user needs for the research infrastructure in relation to major societal challenges through consultations with scientific, policy and business stakeholders and horizon scanning; (2) streamline the design of a cost-efficient pan- European network, able to address multiple ecosystem research issues, in collaboration with related global and European research infrastructures, e.g. LifeWatch; (3) develop the organizational framework for data integration and enable virtual access to the LTER data by enabling data publishing through distributed Data Nodes and by providing access to data on key research challenges through a Data Integration Platform; (4) foster the societal relevance, usability and multiple use of information, data and services through new partnerships with the providers of remotely sensed data, analytical services and scenario testing models, and via the adoption of new measurement technologies. The LTER-Europe network and the European Critical Zone community will collaborate to achieve these goals. 162 sites in 22 countries will provide data on long-term trends in environmental change, some reaching back 100 years. Test cases using these data will address a range of environmental and social issues to push innovation in network level services and steer conceptual developments. The envisaged "LTER Infrastructure" will enable European-scale investigation of major ecosystems and socio-ecological systems, and support knowledge-based decision making at multiple levels.
The project leading to this application has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654359.


Last night looked like it was going to set up for a beautiful sunset in the Cleveland area, but the sky didn't cooperate. I've had a new site on my list and finally made the effort to get out there.

I consider Centers prospectively far more crucial to their Teams's Prospects than most consider them to be.
Having said that...Centers often find themselves in support rolls in Pass Blocking, rather than helping tear open holes up the middle or out to the flanks in the Run Game, because of the league's general persistence, in the 21st Century, in heavily accentuating the Passing Game. As such, the impact that Centers make on their team's fortunes seems destined to be considerably less than their potential. But my focus is on intrinsic value, even where that potential goes untapped.
Power: 40. I'd have to go with 33 or worse if I were grading'm as a Guard. Corbett played Tackle most recently at Nevada, but is generally projected inside to Guard or Center. Because of his shaky Power, I see'm as a Center.
Agility: 50. Impressive Launch Velocity and Acceleration, but mediocre Fluidity.
Frame: 50. A bit tall for Center, but with an exceptional WingSpan. His Frame is actually best suited for Guard, but his lack of Core Power, combined with his excellent Field Vision and Processing Speed, make Center a better fit, I think.
Combat Skills: 100. Absolutely top shelf in all aspects. Corbett has played virtually every position on the WolfPack Offensive Line, rendering his expertise all the more astonishing, considering the chaos that that invites.
Processing Speed: 100. Yeah, Corbett has clearly done the work, and done it relentlessly. Mentally, he's perfect for Center.
Motor: 100. And there you go. He walked on, became an immediate and then a 4 Year Starter, and a 2 time Captain. Corbett is ferocious, and he is relentless...And he is selfless, as well, having played 637 different roles on that O Line.
Run Blocking: 60, in either Power or Zone, as Corbett exhibits equally mediocre Power and Fluidity, but executes consistently and well, anyway, due to Field Vision, Combat Skills, and simple Hard Work.
Pass Blocking: 50. Shakier, here, because The Enemy will be bringing the action to him, and neither Corbett's Power nor his Fluidity to Mirror inspire tremendous confidence...But here, too, he competes, mostly on Intangibles.
I'm a big Fan of Austin Corbett, and of the "Screw Everyone" approach that the Brown s are taking towards team-building, but I think that they got a little aggressive, here. Austin Corbett is the kind of guy whose prospective impact is light years above and beyond his talent level, and I am extremely confident that, good health granted, he will forge a long and successful career, taking instant command of the Offensive Line ~ if the Browns are wise enough to deploy'm at Center, that his ~ and making a strong and positive impact on the Locker Room, while thence developing into an effective and perhaps an exceptional or even excellent Center...But that prospectus is based almost entirely on Intangibles.
I really think that you need more'n a few scraps of talent to rest on, if you're investing the #33 Pick!!
And I really think that you've got to make allowances for the necessity of converting'm to Center.

With the dawn of 2019 Americana 441 begins its 24th year in production and its 13th in syndication. The program was created in 1996 by host and producer Ignatius Belvedere Wonderful as a vehicle for showcasing and promoting the brand-new format, Americana, that WJJC-AM radio in northeast Georgia was adopting. The station's new owners wanted a fresh, forward-thinking format firmly based in roots music--bluegrass, honky-tonk, folk, true "classic" country, acoustic blues, and the like--that the station had been playing for years. Artists like Alison Krauss, Jim Lauderdale, Asleep at the Wheel, Shelby Lynne, and others received airplay alongside emerging talents like Junior Brown, Dale Watson, the Cornell Hurd Band, and Iris Dement. Classic country acts from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s were intermixed with long-established folk, rock, and blues artists like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and Neil Young, whose more obscure music was long neglected or had rarely been aired on radio. George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams joined Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, and Ralph Stanley, and were heard over the airwaves in a format previously reserved for public radio or independent college stations. In addition to secular music, sounds of faith new and old, ranging from bluegrass, mountain, and country gospel to southern gospel and the traditions of the black church were now available as an alternative to the prepackaged gospel of mainstream radio. Americana 441 today features the latest in Americana along with classic and obscure country, plus the occasional track that defies categorization. It's not just the same hundred "hit"songs reconstituted over a six-hour rotation. The show is hosted by I. B.Wonderful and recorded almost live at his semi-palatial Gladeland estate in the pecan groves of Point Peter, Georgia.


Birmingham Airport has announce that for the third year it will be the headline sponsor of the Chinese New Year festival in Birmingham.
The Chinese New Year festival will be held on Sunday 10th February and is expected to attract more than 30,000 revellers. Friends and family will gather in the Southside area of the city to enjoy the vast entertainment – including lion and dragon dancing, fireworks and other performances, as well as local Chinese cuisine available to all passers-by.
This year will be The Year of the Pig in the Chinese lunar calendar, with the new year falling on Tuesday 5th February. However, celebrations will run throughout the first half of February, up until the 19th February.
Over this period, festivities will be found across the city's popular hotspots, including Colmore Row and St Phillip's Cathedral, Bulling and Grand Central, and China town – spreading across Southside Square, Hurst Street, Inge Street, The Arcadian and The Hippodrome.
Birmingham Airport will have a strong presence throughout the period, particularly at the festival. To celebrate Chinese New Year, those who visit the Airport stand will be in with several chances of winning flights to China.
Celebrations will also spread to the Airport, where retailers will be running various offers, activities and entertainment. Passengers will be given the chance to enjoy a traditional lion dance performance in the terminal on Tuesday 5th February – the official Chinese New Year's Day.
The West Midlands has one of the biggest Chinese communities in the UK, with a population of over 20,000 living in the Midlands, plus an additional 150,000 Chinese students studying across the region. In the last 12 months alone, Birmingham Airport welcomed nearly 120,000 passengers through its doors travelling to either China or Hong Kong.
Nick Barton, CEO at Birmingham Airport said: "Supporting Chinese New Year 2019 as the headline sponsor for the third time is fantastic and something we are extremely proud of.
"The Midlands region holds great heritage and culture, especially in Birmingham which is said to be more ethnically diverse than the UK's capital of London for its size. To be a part of this history and culture is important to us, as we too hold great regional heritage and will be celebrating our 80th anniversary this year.
Airlines operating onwards to China from Birmingham Airport include; Emirates via a twice daily service to Dubai, Qatar Airways via a daily service to Doha, Turkish Airlines via a twice daily service to Istanbul, KLM via a five times daily service to Amsterdam, Lufthansa via a four times daily service to Frankfurt and Air France via a six times daily service to Paris.

Why is confinement relevant today?
There's considerable controversy over whether we should be taking supplements. It has long been believed that taking a daily multivitamin will stave off a whole host of chronic diseases.
In the 'yes' camp, we have had years of recommendations from the medical community, and the common-sense idea that we likely aren't getting a complete set of vitamins and minerals from our diet and can supplement in our deficiencies.
On team 'no', there were numerous studies that were published in The Annals of Internal Medicine in 2013 addressing whether supplements had an impact on chronic disease. The first study looked at 400,000 people in order to update recommendations for the US Preventative Services Task Force and found no link between supplements and cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all-cause mortality; and the second study looked at nearly 6,000 men over 65 years old and found no link between a multivitamin and cognitive performance and verbal memory. These studies are just part of a growing body of evidence that for people without specific micronutrient deficiencies (most of us in developed countries), supplements are not effective.
That being said, in a recent Gimlet Media podcast on this topic, one of the researchers thus far has found little effect of taking Omega-3 supplements on human brain function was still taking Omega-3s because "the downsides are small". What he's saying is that we don't know yet whether supplements are effective at preventing certain things. Vitamins and minerals are in our food and water so it's challenging for researchers to isolate them.
So, what should we be doing? Should certain populations be taking or not taking supplements? We spoke to HK-based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Benita Perch about whether her opinion on whether we should be taking supplements.
Should the general population in Hong Kong be taking supplements?
A lot depends upon a person's environment, their access to quality foods, what they actually eat and their genetic predisposition; an emerging field known as epigenetics.
In Hong Kong, as we live in a polluted city and environment, with less access to nutrient-rich foods, with added factors such as high stress, then yes, my experience is that people here generally need more support than in some other countries.
To protect our bodies from the pollution, in our air, water and homes, our need for antioxidants is higher. We also need certain vitamins and minerals that support the day-to-day detoxification processes in the body to eliminate harmful chemicals. Examples include certain forms of absorbable magnesium, zinc and B vitamins.
An added challenge we face in Hong Kong is that many foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish tend to be of poor quality. This could be from toxicity – the addition of pesticides or chemicals to the foods, or the loss of nutrients from imported foods during transportation.
Even if people have access to good quality foods, I find that increasingly many people still are not eating a healthy diet. This could be for lots of reasons – a general lifestyle trend to more processed, convenience foods containing more sugar; misinformation about what a healthy diet really is; higher levels of stress and poor sleep.
Aside from poor food choices, and higher alcohol consumption stress also has other implications on the body, such as weakened digestion or immunity. Carefully prescribed herbs and supplements can support the body in times of stress, including the nervous system and the hormones. Of course we advocate lifestyle changes where possible, but we also have to work with the reality of the client's situation and give their systems some immediate support.
Another common issue in Hong Kong is many people are Vitamin D deficient. Some research suggests up to 60%. Working indoors, tinted windows and avoiding sun exposure including using sunscreen are the main reasons. It is very difficult to get enough vitamin D through diet alone and a good quality vitamin D supplement can help.
In summary, there are several reasons why I would recommend supplements in Hong Kong: high pollution levels in the air, the water and our homes; lower food quality, such as foods containing less nutrients and/or more toxins; high stress and fast paced living; over-use of antibiotics and other medications; lack of exposure to sunlight.
Are there any specific populations you would recommend taking supplements?
For all of these reasons and more, from my clinical practice I have found that in Hong Kong most people, even those who are on an impeccable diet, need the support of a good quality multivitamin, an omega 3 or fish oil, probiotics and vitamin D. That said, everyone is different, and there are so many factors that are influencing an individual's health. Rather than guess, and potentially waste a lot of money on unnecessary supplements, my advice would be for people to be assessed and tested to see what specific supplements they actually need. Then it is better to invest their money on fewer, targeted high-quality supplements that are potent and pure. In the market, especially Hong Kong, there is a huge variance on the quality and efficacy of supplements as well.
Children who are getting sick often and may be in a cycle of antibiotics, or showing signs of allergies, such as asthma or eczema.
It's especially important for people in these more vulnerable groups to receive targeted support by a qualified professional, who can understand their medical history, including current medications and responsibly prescribe supplements or herbs that are safe.
There are also some people who, from their genetic predisposition need more support for a process called methylation. This has an impact on many different biochemical reactions in the body affecting the regulation of the cardiovascular, neurological, reproductive and detoxification systems. There are so many critical functions which depend on effective methylation, such as repairing DNA, fighting infections and eliminating toxins to name a few. People can have a simple test to find out more about their methylation cycle, including specific enzymes that are affected by your genetic makeup.

Articles By H. P. Blavatsky
SOME time ago, a Theosophist, Mr. R_____, was travelling by rail with an American gentleman, who told him how surprised he had been by his visit to our London Headquarters. He said that he had asked Mdme. Blavatsky what were the best Theosophical works for him to read, and had declared his intention of procuring Isis Unveiled, when to his astonishment she replied, "Don't read it, it is all trash."
Now I did not say "trash" so far as I remember; but what I did say in substance was: "Leave it alone; Isis will not satisfy you. Of all the books I have put my name to, this particular one is, in literary arrangement, the worst and most confused." And I might have added with as much truth that, carefully analysed from a strictly literary and critical standpoint, Isis was full of misprints and misquotations; that it contained useless repetitions, most irritating digressions, and to the casual reader unfamiliar with the various aspects of metaphysical ideas and symbols, as many apparent contradictions; that much of the matter in it ought not to be there at all and also that it had some very gross mistakes due to the many alterations in proof-reading in general, and word corrections in particular. Finally, that the work, for reasons that will be now explained, has no system in it; and that it looks in truth, as remarked by a friend, as if a mass of independent paragraphs having no connection with each other, had been well shaken up in a waste-basket, and then taken out at random and--published.
Such is also now my sincere opinion. The full consciousness of this sad truth dawned upon me when, for the first time after its publication in 1877, I read the work through from the first to the last page, in India in 1881. And from that date to the present, I have never ceased to say what I thought of it, and to give my honest opinion of Isis whenever I had an opportunity for so doing. This was done to the great disgust of some, who warned me that I was spoiling its sale; but as my chief object in writing it was neither personal fame nor gain, but something far higher, I cared little for such warnings. For more than ten years this unfortunate "master-piece," this "monumental work," as some reviews have called it, with its hideous metamorphoses of one word into another, thereby entirely transforming the meaning, 1 [Footnote: 1. Witness the word "planet" for "cycle" as originally written, corrected by some unknown hand, (Vol. I., p. 347, 2nd par.), a "correction" which shows Buddha teaching that there is no rebirth on this planet (!!) when the contrary is asserted on p. 346, and the Lord Buddha is said to teach how to "avoid" reincarnation; the use of the word "planet," for plane, of "Monas" for Manas; and the sense of whole ideas sacrificed to the grammatical form, and changed by the substitution of wrong words and erroneous punctuation, etc., etc., etc. ] with its misprints and wrong quotation-marks, has given me more anxiety and trouble than anything else during a long life-time which has ever been more full of thorns than of roses.
But in spite of these perhaps too great admissions, I maintain that Isis Unveiled contains a mass of original and never hitherto divulged information on occult subjects. That this is so, is proved by the fact that the work has been fully appreciated by all those who have been intelligent enough to discern the kernel, and pay little attention to the shell, to give the preference to the idea and not to the form, regardless of its minor shortcomings. Prepared to take upon myself--vicariously as I will show--the sins of all the external, purely literary defects of the work, I defend the ideas and teachings in it, with no fear of being charged with conceit, since neither ideas nor teaching are mine, as I have always declared; and I maintain that both are of the greatest value to mystics and students of Theosophy. So true is this, that when Isis was first published, some of the best American papers were lavish in its praise--even to exaggeration, as is evidenced by the quotations below. 2 [Footnote: 2. Isis Unveiled; a master key to the mysteries of ancient and modern science and theology. By H.P. Blavatsky, Corresponding Secretary of the Theosophical Society. 2 vols., royal 8vo., about 1,500 pages, cloth, $7.50. Fifth Edition.
"This monumental work . . . about everything relating to magic, mystery, witchcraft, religion, spiritualism, which would be valuable in an encyclopædia."--North American Review.
"It must be acknowledged that she is a remarkable woman, who has read more, seen more. and thought more than most wise men. Her work abounds in quotations from a dozen different languages, not for the purpose of a vain display of erudition, but to substantiate her peculiar views . . . her pages are garnished with foot-notes establishing, as her authorities, some of the profoundest writers of the past. To a large class of readers, this remarkable work will prove of absorbing interest . . . demands the earnest attention of thinkers, and merits an analytic reading."--Boston Evening Transcript.
"The appearance of erudition is stupendous. Reference to and quotations from the most unknown and obscure writers in all languages abound, interspersed with allusions to writers of the highest repute, which have evidently been more than skimmed through."--N.Y. Independent.
"An extremely readable and exhaustive essay upon the paramount importance of reestablishing the Hermetic Philosophy in a world which blindly believes that it has outgrown it."--N.Y. World.
"Most remarkable book of the season."--Com. Advertiser.
"[To] Readers who have never made themselves acquainted with the literature of mysticism and alchemy, the volume will furnish the materials for an interesting study--a mine of curious information."--Evening Post.
"They give evidence of much and multifarious research on the part of the author, and contain a vast number of interesting stories. Persons fond of the marvellous will find in them an abundance of entertainment."--New York Sun.
"A marvellous book both in matter and manner of treatment. Some idea may be formed of the rarity and extent of its contents when the index alone comprises fifty pages, and we venture nothing in saying that such an index of subjects was never before compiled by any human being. . . But the book is a curious one and will no doubt find its way into libraries because of the unique subject matter it contains . . . will certainly prove attractive to all who are interested in the history, theology, and the mysteries of the ancient world."--Daily Graphic.
"The present work is the fruit of her remarkable course of education, and amply confirms her claims to the character of an adept in secret science, and even to the rank of a hierophant in the exposition of its mystic lore."--New York Tribune.
"One who reads the book carefully through, ought to know everything of the marvellous and mystical, except perhaps, the passwords. Isis will supplement the Anacalypsis. Whoever loves to read Godfrey Higgins will be delighted with Mme. Blavatsky. There is a great resemblance between their works. Both have tried hard to tell everything apocryphal and apocalyptic. It is easy to forecast the reception of this book. With its striking peculiarities, its audacity, its versatility, and the prodigious variety of subjects which it notices and handles, it is one of the remarkable productions of the century."--New York Herald. ]
The first enemies that my work brought to the front were Spiritualists, whose fundamental theories as to the spirits of the dead communicating in propriâ personâ [Translation: for one's self -BNet Eds.] I upset. For the last fifteen years--ever since this first publication--an incessant shower of ugly accusations has been poured upon me. Every libellous charge, from immorality and the "Russian spy" theory down to my acting on false pretences, of being a chronic fraud and a living lie, an habitual drunkard, an emissary of the Pope, paid to break down Spiritualism, and Satan incarnate. Every slander that can be thought of has been brought to bear upon my private and public life. The fact that not a single one of these charges has ever been substantiated; that from the first day of January to the last of December, year after year, I have lived surrounded by friends and foes like as in a glass-house,--nothing could stop these wicked, venomous, and thoroughly unscrupulous tongues. It has been said at various times by my ever active opponents that (1) Isis Unveiled was simply a rehash of Eliphas Lévi and a few old alchemists; (2)that it was written by me under the dictation of Evil Powers and the departed spirits of Jesuits (sic); and finally (3) that my two volumes had been compiled from MSS, (never before heard of), which Baron de Palm--he of the cremation and double-burial fame--had left behind him, and which I had found in his trunk! 3 [Footnote: 3. This Austrian nobleman, who was in complete destitution at New York, and to whom Colonel Olcott had given shelter and food, nursing him during the last weeks of his life--left nothing in MS. behind him but bills. The only effect of the baron was an old valise, in which his "executors" found a battered bronze Cupid, a few foreign Orders (imitations in pinchbeck and paste, as the gold and diamonds had been sold); and a few shirts of Colonel Olcott's, which the ex-diplomat had annexed without permission. ] On the other hand, friends, as unwise as they were kind, spread abroad that which was really the truth, a little too enthusiastically, about the connection of my Eastern Teacher and other Occultists with the work; and this was seized upon by the enemy and exaggerated out of all limits of truth. It was said that the whole of Isis had been dictated to me from cover to cover and verbatim by these invisible Adepts. And, as the imperfections of my work were only too glaring, the consequence of all this idle and malicious talk was, that my enemies and critics inferred--as well they might--that either these invisible inspirers had no existence, and were part of my "fraud," or that they lacked the cleverness of even an average good writer.
Now, no one has any right to hold me responsible for what any one may say, but only for that which I myself state orally, or in public print over my signature. And what I say and maintain is this: Save the direct quotations and the many afore specified and mentioned misprints, errors and misquotations, and the general make-up of Isis Unveiled, for which I am in no way responsible, (a) every word of information found in this work or in my later writings, comes from the teachings of our Eastern Masters; and (b) that many a passage in these works has been written by me under their dictation. In saying this no supernatural claim is urged, for no miracle is performed by such a dictation. Any moderately intelligent person, convinced by this time of the many possibilities of hypnotism (now accepted by science and under full scientific investigation), and of the phenomena of thought-transference, will easily concede that if even a hypnotized subject, a mere irresponsible medium, hears the unexpressed thought of his hypnotizer, who can thus transfer his thought to him--even to repeating the words read by the hypnotizer mentally from a book--then my claim has nothing impossible in it. Space and distance do not exist for thought; and if two persons are in perfect mutual psycho-magnetic rapport, and of these two, one is a great Adept in Occult Sciences, then thought-transference and dictation of whole pages, become as easy and as comprehensible at the distance of ten thousand miles as the transference of two words across a room.
Hitherto, I have abstained--except on very rare occasions--from answering any criticism on my works, and have even left direct slanders and lies unrefuted, because in the case of Isis I found almost every kind of criticism justifiable, and in that of "slanders and lies," my contempt for the slanderers was too great to permit me to notice them. Especially was it the case with regard to the libellous matter emanating from America. It has all come from one and the same source, well known to all Theosophists, a person most indefatigable in attacking me personally for the last twelve years, 4 [footnote: 4. I will not name him. There are names which carry a moral stench about them, unfit for any decent journal or publication. His words and deeds emanate from the cloaca maxima [Translation: greatest sewer -BNet Eds.] of the Universe of matter and have to return to it, without touching me. ] though I have never seen or met the creature. Neither do I intend to answer him now. But, as Isis is now attacked for at least the tenth time, the day has come when my perplexed friends and that portion of the public which may be in sympathy with Theosophy, are entitled to the whole truth--and nothing but the truth. Not that I seek to excuse myself in anything even before them or to "explain things." It is nothing of the kind. What I am determined to do is to give facts, undeniable and not to be gainsaid, simply by stating the peculiar, well known to many but now almost forgotten, circumstances, under which I wrote my first English work. I give them seriatim.
(1) When I came to America in 1873, I had not spoken English--which I had learned in my childhood colloquially--for over thirty years. I could understand when I read it, but could hardly speak the language.
(2) I had never been at any college, and what I knew I had taught myself; I have never pretended to any scholarship in the sense of modern research; I had then hardly read any scientific European works, knew little of Western philosophy and sciences. The little which I had studied and learned of these, disgusted me with its materialism, its limitations, narrow cut-and-dried spirit of dogmatism, and its air of superiority over the philosophies and sciences of antiquity.
(3) Until 1874 I had never written one word in English, nor had I published any work in any language. Therefore--
(4) I had not the least idea of literary rules. The art of writing books, of preparing them for print and publication, reading and correcting proofs, were so many close[d] secrets to me.
(5) When I started to write that which developed later into Isis Unveiled, I had no more idea than the man in the moon what would come of it. I had no plan; did not know whether it would be an essay, a pamphlet, a book, or an article. I knew that I had to write it, that was all. I began the work before I knew Colonel Olcott well, and some months before the formation of the Theosophical Society.
Thus, the conditions for becoming the author of an English theosophical and scientific work were hopeful, as everyone will see. Nevertheless, I had written enough to fill four such volumes as Isis, before I submitted my work to Colonel Olcott. Of course he said that everything save the pages dictated--had to be rewritten. Then we started on our literary labours and worked together every evening. Some pages the English of which he had corrected, I copied: others which would yield to no mortal correction, he used to read aloud from my pages, Englishing them verbally as he went on, dictating to me from my almost undecipherable MSS. It is to him that I am indebted for the English in Isis. It is he again who suggested that the work should be divided into chapters, and the first volume devoted to SCIENCE and the second to THEOLOGY. To do this, the matter had to be re-shifted, and many of the chapters also; repetitions had to be erased, and the literary connection of subjects attended to. When the work was ready, we submitted it to Professor Alexander Wilder, the well-known scholar and Platonist of New York, who after reading the matter, recommended it to Mr. Bouton for publication. Next to Colonel Olcott, it is Professor Wilder who did the most for me. It is he who made the excellent Index, who corrected the Greek, Latin and Hebrew words, suggested quotations and wrote the greater part of the Introduction "Before the Veil." If this was not acknowledged in the work, the fault is not mine, but because it was Dr. Wilder's express wish that his name should not appear except in footnotes. I have never made a secret of it, and every one of my numerous acquaintances in New York knew it. When ready the work went to press.
From that moment the real difficulty began. I had no idea of correcting galley proofs; Colonel Olcott had little leisure to do so; and the result was that I made a mess of it from the beginning. Before we were through with the first three chapters, there was a bill for six hundred dollars for corrections and alterations, and I had to give up the proof-reading. Pressed by the publisher, Colonel Olcott doing all that he possibly could do, but having no time except in the evenings, and Dr. Wilder far away at Jersey City, the result was that the proofs and pages of Isis passed through a number of willing but not very careful hands, and were finally left to the tender mercies of the publisher's proof-reader. Can one wonder after this if "Vaivaswata" (Manu) became transformed in the published volumes into "Viswamitra," that thirty-six pages of the Index were irretrievably lost, and quotation-marks placed where none were needed (as in some of my own sentences!), and left out entirely in many a passage cited from various authors? If asked why these fatal mistakes have not been corrected in a subsequent edition, my answer is simple: the plates were stereotyped; and notwithstanding all my desire to do so, I could not put it into practice, as the plates were the property of the publisher; I had no money to pay for the expenses, and finally the firm was quite satisfied to let things be as they are, since, notwithstanding all its glaring defects, the work--which has now reached its seventh or eighth edition, is still in demand.
And now--and perhaps in consequence of all this--comes a new accusation: I am charged with wholesale plagiarism in the Introductory Chapter "Before the Veil"!
Well, had I committed plagiarism, I should not feel the slightest hesitation in admitting the "borrowing." But all "parallel passages" to the contrary, as I have not done so, I do not see why I should confess it; even though "thought transference" as the Pall Mall Gazette wittily calls it, is in fashion, and at a premium just now. Since the day when the American press raised a howl against Longfellow, who, borrowing from some (then) unknown German translation of the Finnish epic, the Kalevala, published it as his own superb poem, Hiawatha, and forgot to acknowledge the source of his inspiration, the Continental press has repeatedly brought out other like accusations. The present year is especially fruitful in such "thought transferences." Here we have the Lord Mayor of the City of London, repeating word for word an old forgotten sermon by Mr. Spurgeon and swearing he had never read or heard of it. The Rev. Robert Bradlaugh writes a book, and forthwith the Pall Mall Gazette denounces it as a verbal copy from somebody else's work. Mr. Harry de Windt, the Oriental traveller, and a F.R.G.S. to boot, finds several pages out of his just published A Ride to India, across Persia and Beluchistan, in the London Academy paralleled with extracts from The Country of Belochistan, by A. W. Hughes, which are identical verbatim et literatim [Translation: word for word and letter for letter -BNet Eds.]. Mrs. Parr denies in the British Weekly that her novel Sally was borrowed consciously or unconsciously from Miss Wilkins' Sally, and states that she had never read the said story, nor even heard the author's name, and so on. Finally, every one who has read La Vie de Jésus [Translation: Life of Jesus -BNet Eds.], by Renan, will find that he has plagiarised by anticipation, some descriptive passages rendered in flowing verse in the Light of the World. Yet even Sir Edwin Arnold, whose versatile and recognised genius needs no borrowed imagery, has failed to thank the French Academician for his pictures of Mount Tabor and Galilee in prose, which he has so elegantly versified in his last poem. Indeed, at this stage of our civilisation and fin de siècle [Translation: end of the century -BNet Eds.], one should feel highly honoured to be placed in such good and numerous company, even as a--plagiarist. But I cannot claim such a privilege and, simply for the reason already told that out of the whole Introductory chapter "Before the Veil," I can claim as my own only certain passages in the Glossary appended to it, the Platonic portion of it, that which is now denounced as "a bare-faced plagiarism" having been written by Professor A. Wilder.
That gentleman is still living in or near New York, and can be sked whether my statement is true or not. He is too honourable, too great a scholar, to deny or fear anything. He insisted upon a kind of Glossary, explaining the Greek and Sanskrit names and words with which the work abounds, being appended to an Introduction, and furnished a few himself. I begged him to give me a short summary of the Platonic philosophers, which he kindly did. Thus from p. 11 down to 22 the text is his, save a few intercalated passages which break the Platonic narrative, to show the identity of ideas in the Hindu Scriptures. Now who of those who know Dr. A. Wilder personally, or by name, who are aware of the great scholarship of that eminent Platonist, the editor of so many learned works,5 [Footnote: 5. A. Wilder, M.D., the editor of Serpent and Siva Worship, by Hyde Clarke and C. Staniland Wake; of Ancient Art and Mythology, by Richard Payne Knight, to which the editor has appended an Introduction, Notes translated into English and a new and complete Index; of Ancient Symbol Worship, by Hodder M. Westropp and C. Staniland Wake, with an Introduction, additional Notes and Appendix by the editor; and finally, of The Eleusinian and Bacchic Mysteries; "A Dissertation, by Thomas Taylor, translator of 'Plato,' 'Plotinus,' 'Porphyry, 'Jamblichus,' 'Proclus,' 'Aristotle,' etc., etc., etc.," edited with Introduction, Notes, Emendations, and Glossary, by Alexander Wilder, M.D.; and the author of various learned works, pamphlets and articles for which we have no space here. Also the editor of the "Older Academy," a quarterly journal of New York, and the translator of the Mysteries, by Jamblichus. ] would be insane enough to accuse him of "plagiarising" from any author's work! I give in the footnote the names of a few of the Platonic and other works he has edited. The charge would be simply preposterous!
The fact is that Dr. Wilder must have either forgotten to place quotes before and after the passages copied by him from various authors in his Summary; or else, owing to his very difficult handwriting, he has failed to mark them with sufficient clearness. It is impossible, after the lapse of almost fifteen years, to remember or verify the facts. To this day I had imagined that this disquisition on Platonists was his, and never gave a further thought to it. But now enemies have ferretted out unquoted passages and proclaim louder than ever "the author of Isis Unveiled," to be a plagiarist and a fraud. Very likely more may be found, as that work is an inexhaustible mine of misquotations, errors and blunders, to which it is impossible for me to plead "guilty" in the ordinary sense. Let then the slanderers go on, only to find in another fifteen years as they have found in the preceding period, that whatever they do, they cannot ruin Theosophy, nor even hurt me. I have no author's vanity; and years of unjust persecution and abuse have made me entirely callous to what the public may think of me--personally.
But in view of the facts as given above; and considering that--
(a) The language in Isis is not mine; but (with the exception of that portion of the work which, as I claim, was dictated), may be called only a sort of translation of my facts and ideas into English;
(b) It was not written for the public,--the latter having always been only a secondary consideration with me--but for the use of Theosophists and members of the Theosophical Society to which Isis is dedicated;
(c) Though I have since learned sufficient English to have been enabled to edit two magazines--the Theosophist and LUCIFER--yet, to the present hour I never write an article, an editorial or even a simple paragraph, without submitting its English to close scrutiny and correction.
Considering all this and much more, I ask now every impartial and honest man and woman whether it is just or even fair to criticize my works--Isis, above all others--as one would the writings of a born American or English author! What I claim in them as my own is only the fruit of my learning and studies in a department, hitherto left uninvestigated by Science, and almost unknown to the European world. I am perfectly willing to leave the honour of the English grammar in them, the glory of the quotations from scientific works brought occasionally to me to be used as passages for comparison with, or refutation by, the old Science, and finally the general make-up of the volumes, to every one of those who have helped me. Even for the Secret Doctrine there are about half-a-dozen Theosophists who have been busy in editing it, who have helped me to arrange the matter, correct the imperfect English, and prepare it for print. But that which none of them will ever claim from first to last, is the fundamental doctrine, the philosophical conclusions and teachings. Nothing of that have I invented, but simply given it out as I have been taught; or as quoted by me in the Secret Doctrine (Vol. I, p. 46 [xlvi]) from Montaigne: "I have here made only a nosegay of culled (Eastern) flowers, and have brought nothing of my own but the string that ties them."
Is any one of my helpers prepared to say that I have not paid the full price for the string?

In honor of quickly approaching release date of King's Cage - the highly anticipated third installment of the Red Queen series, I thought it would be good to refresh our memories with a review of the first two books and share some thoughts about what I'm hoping to see in the third.
If you're not already familiar with the Red Queen series (have you been living under a rock?) this is a great time to familiarize yourself with the books before the third book comes out.
Mare Barrow is a red blooded girl, living in a land of Silver Rule. In a world where red-blooded common folk suffer at the hands of the elitist silver-blooded rulers, Mare does what she can to keep her family alive in the brutal, desolate community she lives in. Fated to live in her small impoverished town or face certain death fighting in the King's war - she's doing all that she can to avoid being sent away from her family.
When, in an unexpected twist of fate, Mare displays abilities that only the silver blooded elite posess she is whisked away by the Royal Court and betrothed to one of the Princes under the guise of a lost silver princess in an attempt to hide what she is - red blooded, but with a silver ability - from the rest of the world. While in the Royal Court, Mare has a role to play and is expected by all to play it well.
But as she becomes more involved in the court of the silver rulers, she begins to question her loyalties and her heart. Using her position in the court as a way of gathering intel - she secretly joins the Scarlet Guard, a rebel group of red bloods who are organizing the one thing that could change the sway of power and their world, a red rebellion.
Mare's capabilites, heart and loyalties are tested in this fast paced, dazzling novel.
I read Red Queen very quickly and loved every second of it! It's very much in the same vein as other dystopian novels like The Hunger Games and Divergent, so while the plot is fairly recognizable there were a lot of elements that kept me reading. Mare's ability is interesting, she seems to be a fairly strong character and the supporting cast seems to be fairly well developed. Mare also has a lot of flaws and for the most part this works in her favor except the glaringly obvious fact that she's a TERRIBLE judge of character.
The end of this book leaves the reader just wanting more - more, more, more!
Glass Sword picks up exactly where Red Queen ended.
Cal and Mare have barely escaped Maven's kill order only to find themselves picked up by the Scarlet Guard. While Mare is among those with the same goal as her, Cal is not. Reeling from the betrayal of his brother, he's at the mercy of the Scarlet Guard and the plans they have for him.
Because of what she is - Mare could be used as a weapon in anyone's court, not just that of the Silver's.
When she discovers that there are others like her, she and Cal set out to find them and convince them to help bring down King Maven and aid the Scarlet Guard with the Red Rebellion.
Maven is mad. Really mad. And he'll do anything to get Mare back.
Even if it means hunting and killing those like her.
Ultimately, as the players take their places, Mare is forced to reconcile between what her heart tells her and where her loyalities lay. How far does Patriotism go, before it becomes terrorism? And how can Mare save those who mean the most to her without them becoming collateral damage in a war that she never wanted?
I asked for it - I wanted more, more, more and that's exactly what I got.
Victoria Aveyard really expanded Mare's world with this book and introduced so many new elements that it verges on chaos. We have an imminent war, multiple rescues, an enraged King, slow burn romance/weird love triangle(?), and now multiple political interests vying for the power that the "newbloods" can offer. It's insane and I have no idea where to look next!
I wanted to smack Mare in the face with her own book. Anyone else?
Cal is obviously the best - but I wanted to see him stand up to Mare a little more often.
We are headed in so many directions by the end of this book that I don't know what the point is.
And then there's the last sentence. WTF, Victoria Aveyard!? You can't just do that to a person and then make them wait another year for the next book!
Someone please send help. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through this one if anything terrible happens.
Cal grows a backbone. You had better believe that I am hoping for a well calculated rescue from Cal but in the process I really want him to stop letting his feelings for Mare boss him around. And now that Mare is actually out of the picture for a while, I'm hoping we get to see him do what he does best - which is fight. VA - please make our golden boy worth all the hype.
I want a more cohesive plot line and all the little sub-plots to fall neatly in line behind. There were too many sub plots in the last book and it made everything overwhelming and confusing. What are we doing? Saving newbloods? Starting a war? Killing Maven? Working with some random country? I don't know. Please make it easier for us mere mortals to follow along.
Perspective from someone other than Mare. I think we're going to get this because other wise we have no idea what is happening with Cal's group. I'm really looking forward to getting some fresh perspective from the other characters.
Mare stops whining. Please, just make it stop or I will be forced to smack her upside the head with her own books.
Ok - so probably we won't get that last request until the final book of the series (did I mention there are four?), so I'll settle for a really good maiming.
If you're as excited to see what becomes of the characters in the Red Queen series as I am before the book comes out, you're in luck! You can get a jump on King's Cage and read an exclusive excerpt of the book over at Epic Reads.
In the meantime, get ready for what I expect to be a crazy ride on the Victoria Aveyard Red Queen Train beginning February 7.

Universal SVP Global Communications Jenny Tartikoff to Depart Studio (Exclusive)
Tartikoff has been in the position since 2016
Beatrice Verhoeven | December 4, 2020 @ 4:25 PM	Last Updated: December 4, 2020 @ 4:43 PM
Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) SVP of Global Communications Jenny Tartikoff will depart the studio at the end of the year to pursue other leadership opportunities in the media and entertainment space.
Tartikoff was appointed to the role in 2016 and was responsible for executive communications, managing filmmaker relationships, crisis communications, events and executive communications, and guiding day-to-day studio strategy. She played an integral role in the integration of Dreamworks Animation following the 2016 acquisitions and in harnessing the studios' reputation in the DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) space with the launch of GTDI and other culture-driven initiatives. She first reported to Teri Everett and then Cindy Gardner, EVP of Global Communications for UFEG.
Previously, Tartikoff worked at the New York-based strategic communications company Rubenstein, where her clients included Paramount Pictures, HBO, the New York Post and Sony Corporation of America. Before joining Rubenstein in 2010, she spent more than six years working for NBC News Communications, serving as a spokesperson for "Meet the Press," "Dateline," "Tom Brokaw Reports," Peacock Productions and Prime Time news specials.

Tartikoff began her career as a press manager at CBS News, overseeing communications for "The Early Show" with Bryant Gumbel. Tartikoff received her Bachelor's Degree from the University of Michigan in Psychology.
Other high-level executives have left their positions in Hollywood during the pandemic: Blair Rich, Warner Bros.' powerful head of worldwide marketing, announced her departure earlier this month after 23 years at the studio; IFC Films Co-President Lisa Schwartz announced last week she was exiting at year's end after a similarly lengthy tenure; Libby Geist and Connor Schell, two of ESPN's most senior documentary programming executives, are leaving, with Schell planning to launch his own production company; AMC Networks President Sarah Barnett exited in July, after an 11-year run; and on Monday, Walt Disney Television CFO and President of Business Operations Ravi Ajuha left to "seek a new adventure."

A panel led by state lawmakers has endorsed a series of bills designed to better protect employees' personal Internet accounts from their employers.
The Task Force on Digital Information Privacy voted Thursday to recommend several bills that could be debated during the upcoming 2015 session if they are supported by another legislative committee.
The bills include a proposal that would make it an unfair employment practice for employers to demand or request their workers' personal social media or email accounts.
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports that the legislation would apply to current and prospective employees.
Lawmakers on the task force said this would safeguard information that employees don't want their bosses to gain. And, at the same time, they said it still offers exemptions that protect the employer.

Somalia: Car bomb kills at least 8 in capital Mogadishu
January 13, 2022 - by senegal
MOGADISHU, At least eight people were killed as a huge blast went off on a road near the main international airport in the Somali capital.
The Islamist terror group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the explosion, saying it was targeting "foreign officers."
The al-Qaeda-linked group controls parts of Somalia often carries out bombings at high-profile locations in the capital.
The Somali National News Agency reported "unspecified casualties." But an official said that at least eight people were killed.
"A car bomb targeted a convoy, including bullet proof cars using Avisione street, we do not who owns the convoy. We carried eight dead people from the scene," Abdikadir Abdirahman, director of an ambulance service, said.
According to witnesses, a multi-vehicle private security convoy escorting foreigners was passing by the area when the blast hit.
Somali security official Mohamed Abdi said that the bombing "caused devastation in the area."
A witness also said that the explosion was "so huge that it has destroyed most of the buildings nearby the road and vehicles passing by the area."
Wednesday's explosion came just days after Somali leaders agreed on a new timetable for long-delayed elections.
The Horn of Africa nation had been locked in a political crisis amid a feud between the prime minister and president.
Somalia is also battling an insurgency by al-Shabaab.
The extremist group has been fighting government forces since 2007. It had controlled Mogadishu until it was pushed out by African Union forces in 2011.
Al-Shabaab has often carried out attacks against military and civilian targets.
In November, al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for a car bombing near a school in Mogadishu. The attack killed at least eight people.
The November attack came days after the group said it killed a prominent journalist.

David Gaines, 16, is Youngest 2020 Graduate
By Rebecca Rakoczy
DUNWOODY, Ga.—David Gaines has ambitious goals. His plan: to be a neurologist, a neurosurgeon and an attorney specializing in health sector law and policy.
Why not? At 16, he's the youngest graduate candidate in Georgia State University Perimeter College's Class of 2020. He's an extremely motivated biology student with an "endlessly curious mind," according to Perimeter assistant professor of biology, Dr. Kimmy Kellett.
Before he got his driver's license in fall 2019, the Sandy Springs, Ga., resident already had taken junior-level college courses on Georgia State's Atlanta Campus. He expects to have about 90 credits by the end of summer 2020 and earn his bachelor's degree in biology with an emphasis on microbiology in spring 2021, two months shy of his 18th birthday.
Gaines is preparing to take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) and hopes to start a six-year medical doctor (M.D.)/juris doctor (J.D.) program in fall 2021. He wants to become a neurosurgeon and neurologist, initially serving rural and underserved areas before opening his own practice.
"In the J.D. program, I will focus on the health sector of law, leadership and policy, as well as the legal aspects of running a private practice," he said.
Gaines' ambitions do not surprise Kellett, who was his Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) adviser. The National Science Foundation program promotes science, technology, engineering and math careers for minority students.
"He has an endlessly curious mind, is very responsible and motivated," Kellett said. "He is unique. Every opportunity you'd tell him about, he wants to take part in."
Drawn to Medicine Early in Life
Gaines, who grew up in North Carolina, said he was inspired early to become a doctor after seeing his pediatrician calm a worried mother.
"I saw my pediatrician helping a screaming baby," Gaines said. "There was just enough opening in the door to see her whisper into the mother's ear, and I remember the look on the mom's face. She went from looking sad and fearful to completely elated. From that day, I wanted the magic of the white coat. I wanted to help people feel the way my doctor made that mom feel."
Gaines, 16, recently visited Mercer University School of Medicine.
Gaines' interest in medicine grew. He often accompanied his mother to his sister's neurological appointments. (She was born with a brain tumor but was treated and now leads a full life). He also helped in his grandfather's recovery from a stroke.
"I realized I wanted to work with neurological diseases, which is why I started volunteering at the Shepherd Center in the rehabilitation unit two years ago," he said.
Gaines also has a personal interest in medicine because he has asthma. His bouts during elementary school led to prolonged absences with pneumonia and helped his mother decide to homeschool him, starting in fourth grade. That decision was supported by his teachers and principal, who saw he was bored in class, said Pamela Gaines, David's mother.
"He actually started asking me about homeschooling when he was in the first grade," she said. "But I said no at the time. I wanted him to develop his socialization skills.
"When he was five," she said, "he told me he wanted to graduate from high school by the time he was 11 or 12 and be out of college by age 17 and done with medical school at 21. I told him, 'You do your part, and I'll do mine.'"
He finished most of his high school curriculum by age 11, she said.
The family moved to Georgia, and Gaines enrolled at Perimeter College in 2018 at age 14.
"Having the opportunity to start at a smaller setting like Perimeter and transition to a large classroom allowed me to meet all of my academic needs," he said. "We felt I would have the greatest opportunities at Georgia State," he said.
A divorced single mom, Pamela Gaines has juggled her work as a business consultant, often waking at 4 a.m. to get ready for clients, then homeschooling her son and returning to work in the afternoon. When Gaines enrolled at Perimeter, his mother drove him and worked with a Wi-Fi hotspot and her computer in parking lots and common areas while her son went to class or club activities.
Gaines looks forward to going to the Atlanta Campus full time, but will have to wait to move on campus, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing requirements.

Managers: Vincenzo Rennella has been sacked by Lazio
Vincento Rennelli has been fired by Laziali on Thursday, the club announced on its official Twitter account.
Rennella joined the Rossoneri in the summer and had been expected to take over from Luciano Spalletti as the club's head coach for the upcoming Serie A season.
He was promoted to the club as head of technical and youth development.
In an interview with the Giuseppe Reale website, Rennelli said he was relieved to have left the club and that he was looking forward to returning to Milan.
"I'm grateful to the fans, to all the staff, and to Coach Spallett for everything he's done for me," he said.
"There's been so much disappointment, but I've been told by my family that I have to be happy, that I've done the right thing."
It's hard for me, I've had so much to do, but at the end of the day I'm proud of the work I've put in.
"We have the players to compete and it will be difficult to stop the run, but it's a positive and it's important for me to stay in this position."
In the past, RENNELI had been linked with the position with his appointment as Lazialis first-team coach in the winter of 2012, although the former Juventus coach later left for Chelsea.
