Jim Basnight
Jokers, Idols & Misfits (Precedent Records) 2020
https://powerpopaholicproductions.bandcamp.com/album/jokers-idols-misfits
Actively involved in music since the mid-seventies, Jim Basnight has certainly made great strides throughout his ongoing journey. Having fronted noted acts such as The Moberlys, The Rockinghams, The Jim Basnight Thing and The Jim Basnight Band, the Indianola, Washington based singer, songwriter and guitarist also boasts a very rewarding solo career.
Although recognized for his excellent original material, Jim chose to compile an album of covers for his latest release, Jokers, Idols & Misfits, which stages an A-grade job of paying homage to his wide-ranging influences. Recently issued as a single on the Big Stir label, Prince Jones Davies Suite is an industrious medley of Prince's Sometimes It Snows In April," David Bowie's Win and World Keeps Going Round by The Kinks.
Instrumentally, the track is rather sparsely furnished, but Jim's impassioned delivery lends a fierce intensity to the moody movement.
The Kinks are saluted again on the crisp and crackly This Is Where I Belong, while the hypnotic blush of Jim (aka Roger) McGuinn and Gene Clark's You Showed Me – which The Turtles scored a hit with in 1969 – contains a splash of cool brass work, supplying the song with a bit of a jazzy touch.
Subsequent jazz inspirations appear on a slowed down version of Brother Louie that The Stories took to the top of the charts in 1973. Horn arrangements, as well as gospel-flavored harmonies, add an extra layer of inventiveness to Happiness Is A Warm Gun, which is just as potent as the recording we are all acquainted with by The Beatles.
T.Rex's stomping Laser Love locks in as another ace cut on Jokers, Idols & Misfits, along with a wicked reprise of The Who's classic I Can See For Miles. True Believers are acknowledged with care and respect on the hooky power pop of Rebel Kind, and the sounds of the sixties Pacific Northwest style arrive in the shape of the swaggering Good Thing (Paul Revere and The Raiders) and the brooding teen folk rock of It's You Alone (The Wailers).
In honor of The Lurkers, there's the kinetic kick of New Guitar In Town, where She Gives Me Everything I Want revisits the popping rockabilly of The Hollies.
What sets Jokers, Idols & Misfits apart from most albums of its type is that the majority of songs are not merely paint-by-number doodles, nor are they misty-eyed nostalgic sojourns. Jim's own personality and identity figure strongly in each entry, permitting the material to shine with a reinvigorated spirit. The artists celebrated on Jokers, Idols & Misfits would be mighty proud to hear these fine tributes.

10 Feel-Good Pop Songs!
No Comments on 10 Feel-Good Pop Songs!
It has been scientifically proven that music is a great healer. That said – especially now, when the world as we know it has literally collapsed – we need music more than ever to maintain a positive outlook. Here are ten pop songs that never fail to put a smile on my face, and are bound to brighten your day as well.
"And Your Bird Can Sing" (1966) The Beatles. Although the lyrics are cut of a cryptic nature, explosive harmonies, combined with chiming guitars spinning and tumbling with velocity, furnish "And Your Bird Can Sing" with a joyous tenor that grips the both the mind and the body.
"Precious To Me" (1980) Phil Seymour. From the sweet and shiny Buddy Holly influenced vocals to the clutching hooks to the neat and tidy instrumentation, "Precious To Me" not only serves as the quintessential pop song, but a superbly-articulated sonic sentiment. Precious indeed.
"Let's Go To San Francisco" (1967) The Flower Pot Men. Lushly textured and bursting at the seams with dazzling Beach Boys styled vocal exercises, "Let's Go To San Francisco" checks in as a charming ode to the beautiful city by the Bay. Subtle drug references led the song to be banned from many American playlists, but topped the charts in England.
"I Know You're Out There Somewhere" (1988) The Moody Blues. Shimmering with spirituality, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere" sends a telepathic SOS to a long lost love with the certanity they will meet again. Ethereal vocals, accompanied by sweeping synthesizer slopes and a nice mix of acoustic and electic guitars, supply the gorgeously-groomed song with equal amounts of yearning and hope.
"She Don't Care About Time" (1965) The Byrds. Authored by Byrds founder, vocalist and tambourine man Gene Clark, "She Don't Care About Time" sparkles and swirls to the legendary band's signature stance of jangling riffs and heavenly choruses. As the cherry on the sundae, the song adds a classical touch to the proceedings in the form of a Bach inspired passage.
"Not Alone Anymore" (1988) The Traveling Wilburys. Guided by Roy Orbison's soaring lung power that invariably produces goosepimples from head to toe, "Not Alone Anymore" is a booming ballad, promising love, comfort and security. Fellow Traveling Wilburys George Harrison and Jeff Lynne also lend their assistance to the heart-swelling presentation.
"I Hear A Symphony" (1966) The Supremes. Stepping in as yet another solid gold hit from the Motown factory, "I Hear A Symphony" begins on a rather soft note before gradually ballooning into a super-sized symphony of bellowing brass arrangements, glossy melodies and supremely Supreme harmonies.
"Summerlove Sensation" (1974) The Bay City Rollers. Reflecting a cross between The Beach Boys and Raspberries, "Summerlove Sensation" smacks of carefree happiness. Sprinkled with twinkling sleigh bells, the invigorating song pours a premium on sunny singing and a bubbly beat all in the name of teen romance.
"I Can Hear The Grass Grow" (1967) The Move. Designed of psychedelic impressions, "I Can Hear The Grass Grow" favors a quick and effective pace, humming with stirring licks, galloping rhythms, skyscraper choruses, pulsating percussion and bracing breaks. Hammering hard rock currents to pop sensibilities, the technicolor tune allows the imagination to run wild. The line – "My head's attracted to a magnetic wave of sound" – drives the point home.
"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" (1971) The Fortunes. Despite the sad prose involving a guy who apparently only sees his girlfriend on Sunday, and therefore, dreads Monday, "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" possesses a pretty and punchy tone that immediately energizes the soul. Smartly structured and polished with precision, the tasty tune is doubly highlighted by the exceptional harmony prowess The Fortunes are recognized for.

Бланкенрат () — община в Германии, в земле Рейнланд-Пфальц.

Входит в состав района Кохем-Целль. Подчиняется управлению Целль (Мозель). Население, согласно данным от 31 декабря 2009 года, составляет 1728 человек (прошлая перепись зафиксировала на 31 декабря 2006 года 1743 человека). Занимает площадь 4,59 км².

История

Ранняя история — Средневековье
История Бланкенрата уходит своими корнями в период IX—X вв., в момент, когда эпидемии болезней и постоянные войны вынудили переселенцев сниматься со своих нажитых мест и искать место проживания вдали от населённых долин рек, таких, как лежащая неподалёку долина реки Мозель. Согласно местным исследованиям, деревня выросла из трёх крестьянских владений, названных Метценхоф (), Гайерсхоф () и Румерсхоф ().

Историческими свидетельствами развития поселения может служить, прежде всего, грамота о вассальной зависимости Бланкенрата, принадлежащая Герлаху фон Браунсхорну (), относящаяся к 1347 году и приписывающая всё владение графу Иоганну фон Клеве (). В 1362 году, после смерти Герлаха, через брак его потомков местечко перешло во владение графского семейства Виннебург (руины замка  до сих пор доступны к осмотру недалеко от городка Кохем в долине реки Мозель). Позднее владения эти были присоединены к Трирскому архиепископству, графству Шпонхайм () и графству Байльштайн. Произошло это в период правления внуков Герлаха, которых звали Куно и Герлах фон Виннебург; из-за долгов семейства они заложили Бланкенрат в 1375 году в Трирском архиепископстве за 17000 гульденов. Их потомки не собрали таковой суммы целиком и в итоге, через 164 года после первоначального денежного перевода сумма возросла до 17400 гульденов. Однако, к тому времени у семейства уже не оставалось надежд на возвращение владения, архиепископство и Шпонхайм настолько усилили своё влияние, что сделки не произошло.

В 1690 году вся деревня была уничтожена в ходе военных действий, сохранились только три фермы.

Позднее Средневековье — Новое время
Тем временем, продолжались споры относительно того, кто имеет главенствующее право владеть данным местечком. Разногласия разного рода продолжались в течение более чем двух с половиной веков, и обсуждались даже в Имперском камеральном суде в Вецларе, но решение так и не было найдено. Конфликт окончательно превратился в чисто теоретический юридический спор только тогда, когда вся Священная Римская империя германской нации со всеми своими правящими институциями, включая все правящие фамилии и имперский камеральный суд, была сметена с лица земли в конце XVIII — начале XIX веков в результате французских революционных войн и интервенции войск Наполеона I Бонапарта.

Начиная с 1794 года, Бланкенрат находился под французским управлением. Соседствуюая с ним деревня Райденхаузен, которая до этого составляла с ним единый муниципалитет, была отделена. В 1814 году Бланкенрат был присоединён к Королевству Пруссия в результате собранного странами-победителями Венского Конгресса, и согласно его решениям, был учреждён амт Бланкенрат.

Новейшее время
С 1946 года Бланкенрат был частью новообразованной федеральной земли Рейнланд-Пфальц. Согласно условиям подписанного 18 июля 1970 года Закона об упрощении управления (), вступившего в силу 7 ноября 1970 года, муниципалитет путём присоединения к другим составил часть объединённой общины Целль (), потеряв статус амта в ходе послевоенных административных преобразований.

Katherine Mansfield 1914. Alexander Turnbull Library, 1/4-017274-F.
Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923)
Katherine Mansfield was born Kathleen Mansfield Beauchamp at 11 (later renumbered to 25) Tinakori Road, Thorndon on 14 October 1888.
The third daughter of Harold and Annie Beauchamp, Mansfield spent her childhood in Wellington, then travelled to London in 1903 with her two older sisters to attend Queen's College. On her return home at the end of 1906, she felt stifled by colonial Wellington and her respectable, upper-class family and longed to escape.
A writer from an early age, Mansfield had stories published in newspapers and periodicals while still a teenager. After her time at Queen's College, she was determined to make a career from her writing, especially once her initial dream of becoming a professional cellist was met with disapproval from her parents. In 1908, she convinced her father to let her return to London and left New Zealand in July that year.
Mansfield went on to become an internationally acclaimed writer best known for her Modernist short stories. Her work was admired by fellow 20th-century writers, including Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Hardy and Elizabeth Bowen. She spent time living in England, Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland and mixed with many progressive and well-known writers, artists, intellectuals and philosophers.
Her journals and letters evoke a passionate individual, dedicated to her craft, whose life was tragically cut short by tuberculosis aged 34.
The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography entry on Mansfield offers an excellent overview of her life and many of her stories can be found online.

Miley Cyrus Twerks Herself Back onto 'SNL'
By Samantha Murphy 2013-10-27 17:42:07 UTC
Miley Cyrus can't stop — won't stop — sneaking her way back into the topic of conversation.
The singer made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live's most recent episode by crashing host Edward Norton's opening monologue to announce her upcoming 2014 tour. She stuck around long enough to teach him how to appropriately stick out his tongue, and even twerked during a sketch that spoofed the upcoming film 12 Years a Slave.

But Cyrus wasn't the only celebrity cameo in SNL's opening monologue. Alec Baldwin stopped by to give Norton a few pointers on how to be a compelling host. Check out the clip, below:
Earlier this month, Cyrus appeared as the host and musical guest of SNL, following her controversial MTV Video Music Awards performance.

Vagad (also known as Vagar, Hindi: वागड) is a region in southeastern Rajasthan state of western India. Its boundaries are roughly defined by those of the districts of Dungarpur and Banswara. Major cities of the region are Dungarpur and Banswara.

Geography
Vagad is bounded on the north by Mewar region of Rajasthan, on the southeast and eastby Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, and on the west and southwest by Gujarat state. The region mostly lies in the upper watershed of the Mahi River and its tributaries, which is said to be the lifeline of Vagad. The Mahi flows north through the district (Banswara) from its origin in the Vindhya Range of Madhya Pradesh, entering the district (Banswara) from the southeast and flowing north towards the northern end of the district, where it turns southwest to form the boundary between Banswara and Dungarpur districts before entering Gujarat and emptying into the Gulf of Cambay.

Vagad has rich flora and fauna. The forests include mainly teak. The wildlife includes a large variety of wild animals such as the leopard and the chinkara. Common birds in the region include fowl, partridge, black drongo, grey shrike, green bee-eater, bulbul and parrot. Some of the towns in this region are Aspur, Bhiluda, Simalwada, Sagwara, Partapur, Bagidra and Garhi.

History

Parmar rulers held Vagar during the 11th century with their political center at Arthuna (in present-day Banswara district). Vagad as a different region separated from Mewar, and a branch of Guhilot Rajput ruled here

All princely states were merged into Rajasthan prior to 1947.

GODFREY | Mayor Mike McCormick announced today that Chris Sichra, Godfrey's public safety administrator, will expand the village's role in supporting the county-operated Code Red signup drive program and take the village disaster preparedness show "on the road" into the community starting next week.
Local businesses will host the program at alternate locations throughout the village in an effort to reach more people and provide greater public education to residents about disaster preparedness.
The callback system known as Code Red is operated by Madison County and the County Emergency Management Agency and is designed to send group emergency messages to a caller's cellphone, email or home phone that warns residents of imminent severe weather like thunderstorm or tornado warnings. The service is free to those who sign up.
The public safety administrator, who has worked in a collaborative approach to provide support to the county's Code Red program mission of educating and preparing the public about disasters, is looking forward to getting more face time with residents once he starts holding drives at locations and businesses throughout the community. He'll also get a chance to educate residents about measures they can take at home to plan, mitigate, prepare, and respond to disasters so people can better protect their family and property.
The first business to host the drive will be the Godfrey branch of Reliance Bank, 2810 Godfrey Road. The drive will be 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 26. Sichra will be on hand to assist residents to sign up for the service, answer questions regarding home and business disaster preparation, and pass out literature to educate residents about the home disaster planning process.
Sichra advises it's important for residents living in areas without public warning sirens to sign up for programs like Code Red, as it may be the only warning they get to take cover, especially late at night or early in the morning.
"I'm especially thankful to the county EMA staff, Director Todd Fulton, Mary Kate Brown and Tony Falconio for all the hard work they do seeing to the continued success of the Code Red program," Sichra said.
The village is looking for other businesses in the community that would be interested to host a sign-up drive event and the only requirement needed is an area to set up a laptop, a wireless internet signal and a small table to set out informational literature and pamphlets for disaster planning and preparation.
McCormick has worked hard during his administration to ensure resident safety and supports cooperation between municipal government and local business. He said he's extremely grateful to Reliance Bank for hosting the event, indicating the village strives towards a "collaborative approach" with the business community — especially when it comes to emergency management, disaster preparedness or recovery efforts.
Trustee Eldon "Twirp" Williams, who serves as chairman of the village's Public Safety Committee, praised Sichra's ongoing commitment over the past several years educating and protecting residents from disasters as well as keeping village officials informed during a crisis. Williams encourages all residents to get signed up for Code Red warnings, especially since the 2018 severe weather season is just ramping up. The service is free and residents can sign up online.
If you have any questions or concerns or need help signing up, or have a business or group in Godfrey that would like to host a sign up drive, contact Sichra at publicsafety@godfreyil.org.

Palestinians excluded from Israeli Covid vaccine rollout as jabs go to settlers
Posted by Wisconsin Muslim Journal | Jan 8, 2021 | Syndicated

Oded Balilty/AP
Israel is celebrating an impressive, record-setting vaccination drive, having given initial jabs of coronavirus shots to more than a 10th of the population. But Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza can only watch and wait.
As the world ramps up what is already on track to become a highly unequal vaccination push – with people in richer nations first to be inoculated – the situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories provides a stark example of the divide.
Israel transports batches of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine deep inside the West Bank. But they are only distributed to Jewish settlers, and not the roughly 2.7 million Palestinians living around them who may have to wait for weeks or months.
"I don't know how, but there must be a way to make us a priority, too?" said Mahmoud Kilani, a 31-year-old sports coach from the Palestinian city of Nablus. "Who cares about us? I don't think anybody is stuck on that question."
Two weeks into its vaccination campaign, Israel is administering more than 150,000 doses a day, amounting to initial jabs for more than 1 million of its 9 million citizens – a higher proportion of the population than anywhere else.
Vaccine centres have been set up in sports stadiums and central squares. People over 60, healthcare workers, carers and high-risk populations have priority, while young, healthier people who walk into clinics are sometimes rewarded with surplus stock to avoid the waste of unused vials.
The prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has told Israelis that the country could be the first to emerge from the pandemic. As well as a highly advanced healthcare system, part of the reason for the speed could be economics. A health ministry official said the country had paid $62 a dose, compared with the $19.50 the US is paying.
Meanwhile, the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority, which maintains limited self-rule in the territories, is rushing to get vaccines. One official suggested, perhaps optimistically, that shots could arrive within the next two weeks.
However, when asked for a timeframe, Ali Abed Rabbo, director-general of the Palestinian health ministry, estimated the first vaccines would probably arrive in February.
Those would be through a World Health Organization-led partnership called Covax, aimed at helping poorer countries, which has pledged to vaccinate 20% of Palestinians. Yet vaccines intended for Covax have not yet gained "emergency use" approval by the WHO, a precondition for distribution to begin.
Gerald Rockenschaub, the head of office at WHO Jerusalem, said it could be "early to mid-2021" before vaccines on the Covax scheme were available for distribution in the Palestinian territories.
The rest of the doses are expected to come through deals with pharmaceutical companies, but none have apparently been signed so far.
Despite the delay, the authority has not officially asked for help from Israel. Coordination between the two sides halted last year after the Palestinian president cut off security ties for several months.
But Rabbo said "sessions" with Israel had been held. "Until this moment, there is no agreement, and we cannot say there is anything practical on the ground in this regard," he said.
Israeli officials have suggested they might provide surplus vaccines to Palestinians and claim they are not responsible for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, pointing to 1990s-era interim agreements that required the authority to observe international vaccination standards.
Those deals envisioned a fuller peace agreement within five years, an event that never occurred. Almost three decades later, Israeli, Palestinian and international rights groups have accused Israel of dodging moral, humanitarian and legal obligations as an occupying power during the pandemic.
Gisha, an Israeli rights group, said Palestinian efforts so far to look elsewhere for vaccines "does not absolve Israel from its ultimate responsibility toward Palestinians under occupation".
The disparities could potentially see Israelis return to some form of normality within the first three months of this year, while Palestinians remain trapped by the virus. That may have a negative impact on Israel's goal of herd immunity, as thousands of West Bank Palestinians work in Israel and the settlements, which could keep infection rates up.
In Gaza, an impoverished enclave under an Israeli-Egyptian blockade, the timeframe could be even longer than in the West Bank. The strip's Islamist rulers, Hamas, have been unable to contain the virus and are enemies with Israel and political rivals with the Palestinian Authority.
Salama Ma'rouf, head of the Hamas-run Gaza press office, estimated vaccines would arrive "within two months", adding that there was coordination with the WHO and the Palestinian Authority.
Heba Abu Asr, 35, a resident of Gaza, jolted when asked how she felt about others getting the vaccine first. "Are you seriously trying to compare us with Israel or any other country?" she asked. "We can't find work, food, or drink. We are under threat all the time. We do not even have any necessities for life."
• The photo accompanying this article was changed on 8 January 2021. A previous image showed a man in the Israeli city of Ashdod receiving a vaccination; in versions where caption information was not displayed, this may have given the impression that he was among Jewish settlers in the West Bank being inoculated.

A: Here's a quick and dirty way of adding the column names:
<?php
header("Content-type: application/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=applications.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

ini_set('display_errors',1);
$private=1;
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT * FROM applications";
$select_c = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

// -------------------- add the line below -----------------------------------
$result="ID,LAST_NAME,FIRST_NAME,ORGANIZATION,TITLE\n";
// -------------------- add the line above -----------------------------------

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($select_c, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
    $result.="{$row['ID']},";
    $result.="{$row['LAST_NAME']},";
    $result.="{$row['FIRST_NAME']},";
    $result.="{$row['ORGANIZATION']},";
    $result.="{$row['TITLE']},";
    $result.="\n";

}
    echo $result;
?>

A: Just add header row before your while cycle:
echo "ID,Last_Name,First_Name,ORGANIZATION,TITLE\n";

A: I assume you also want to query the column names.
With a SELECT statement you will never get the column names in the result.
In MySQL you can use
SHOW COLUMNS FROM applications FROM db;

to get the column names in a result.

A: An alternative implementation of this that would allow you to use the fputcsv to guard against commas within your data .
<?php
header("Content-type: application/csv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=applications.csv");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

ini_set('display_errors',1);
$private=1;
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT ID, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, ORGANIZATION, TITLE FROM applications";
$select_c = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($select_c, MYSQL_ASSOC);
$fp = fopen("php://output", "w");
fputcsv($fp, array_keys($row));

Genius Hurts: Ask Dan Hicks.
By grnarrow | July 19, 2007 - 2:49 pm | All Interviews, Pickin' Players Interviews
Throughout his decades-long career, Mister Dan Hicks stood as one of contemporary music's true eccentrics. While steeped in folk, his acoustic sound knew few musical boundaries, drawing on country, call-and-response vocals, jazz phrasing, and no small amount of humor to create a distinctive, albeit sporadic, body of work which earned him a devoted cult following. He attended college in San Francisco, where he switched to guitar and began playing folk music. He returned to the drums, however, when he joined the Charlatans, one of the Bay City's first psychedelic bands. Although the Charlatans were short-lived — they issued only one single during their existence — they proved influential throughout the San Francisco musical community and were one of the first acts to play the legendary Family Dog. formed the acoustic group Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks in 1968 as an opener for the Charlatans, but soon the new band became his primary project. After adding a pair of female backing vocalists — "the Lickettes" — the group issued its debut LP, Original Recordings, in 1969. After a pair of 1971 records, Where's the Money? and Striking It Rich, they issued 1973's Last Train to Hicksville, which proved to be a very successful album for the Hot Licks. This is a re-visit conversation for Mr. Hicks and I as I welcome him into New England for a July 26th show in Fairfield, a July 28th show in Northampton, and on July 29th at the Barn in Brooklyn CT. We have a few laughs and there is some talk of new material and the potential arrival of a potential new album.

Learn About Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
What is the definition of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia?
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a disorder characterized by chronic respiratory tract infections, abnormally positioned internal organs, and the inability to have children (infertility). The signs and symptoms of this condition are caused by abnormal cilia and flagella. Cilia are microscopic, finger-like projections that stick out from the surface of cells. They are found in the linings of the airway, the reproductive system, and other organs and tissues. Flagella are tail-like structures, similar to cilia, that propel sperm cells forward.
In the respiratory tract, cilia move back and forth in a coordinated way to move mucus towards the throat. This movement of mucus helps to eliminate fluid, bacteria, and particles from the lungs. Most babies with primary ciliary dyskinesia experience breathing problems at birth, which suggests that cilia play an important role in clearing fetal fluid from the lungs. Beginning in early childhood, affected individuals develop frequent respiratory tract infections. Without properly functioning cilia in the airway, bacteria remain in the respiratory tract and cause infection. People with primary ciliary dyskinesia also have year-round nasal congestion and a chronic cough. Chronic respiratory tract infections can result in a condition called bronchiectasis, which damages the passages, called bronchi, leading from the windpipe to the lungs and can cause life-threatening breathing problems.
Some individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia have abnormally placed organs within their chest and abdomen. These abnormalities arise early in embryonic development when the differences between the left and right sides of the body are established. About 50 percent of people with primary ciliary dyskinesia have a mirror-image reversal of their internal organs (situs inversus totalis). For example, in these individuals the heart is on the right side of the body instead of on the left. Situs inversus totalis does not cause any apparent health problems. When someone with primary ciliary dyskinesia has situs inversus totalis, they are often said to have Kartagener syndrome.
Approximately 12 percent of people with primary ciliary dyskinesia have a condition known as heterotaxy syndrome or situs ambiguus, which is characterized by abnormalities of the heart, liver, intestines, or spleen. These organs may be structurally abnormal or improperly positioned. In addition, affected individuals may lack a spleen (asplenia) or have multiple spleens (polysplenia). Heterotaxy syndrome results from problems establishing the left and right sides of the body during embryonic development. The severity of heterotaxy varies widely among affected individuals.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia can also lead to infertility. Vigorous movements of the flagella are necessary to propel the sperm cells forward to the female egg cell. Because their sperm do not move properly, males with primary ciliary dyskinesia are usually unable to father children. Infertility occurs in some affected females and is likely due to abnormal cilia in the fallopian tubes.
Another feature of primary ciliary dyskinesia is recurrent ear infections (otitis media), especially in young children. Otitis media can lead to permanent hearing loss if untreated. The ear infections are likely related to abnormal cilia within the inner ear.
Rarely, individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia have an accumulation of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus), likely due to abnormal cilia in the brain.
What are the causes of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia?
Primary ciliary dyskinesia can result from mutations in many different genes. These genes provide instructions for making proteins that form the inner structure of cilia and produce the force needed for cilia to bend. Coordinated back and forth movement of cilia is necessary for the normal functioning of many organs and tissues. The movement of cilia also helps establish the left-right axis (the imaginary line that separates the left and right sides of the body) during embryonic development.
Mutations in the genes that cause primary ciliary dyskinesia result in defective cilia that move abnormally or are unable to move (immotile). Because cilia have many important functions within the body, defects in these cell structures cause a variety of signs and symptoms.
Mutations in the DNAI1 and DNAH5 genes account for up to 30 percent of all cases of primary ciliary dyskinesia. Mutations in the other genes associated with this condition are found in only a small percentage of cases. In many people with primary ciliary dyskinesia, the cause of the disorder is unknown.

Greetings, in these last hours of Earths history. As many are probably aware, there has been a bit of a firestorm brewing in Oregon lately. It turns out Larry Weathers, a 50-year-old barber from Talent, Oregon, has placed a billboard located along Interstate-5 just north of Medford, Oregon proclaiming in big bold letters, "The POPE Is The ANTICHRIST, Free Proof," He then provides a website address for free information regarding same. Mr Weathers says he will not take the sign down despite several threats he has received on his life. Weathers happens to be a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Remnant Ministries.
It is indeed the last days when one realizes that preaching Biblical facts result in several threats on ones life. Saddly, this is the norm for those that think they are "doing God a service" when they threaten and even kill Christians that proclaim Truth and refuse to bend. Why is it they cannot see that to threaten to KILL a man is no different than actually KILLING that man in reality in the eyes of the Lord? Did Jesus not proclaim that to break the 7th commandment in the heart is the same as breaking it in reality? For it is written in Matthew 5:28, "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
Is not the 6th commandment declaring that "thou shalt not kill" thy fellow man? To threaten a man's life, is to make the decision in the heart that you WANT him dead already! This is no different than looking upon a woman in lust, and wanting her in your heart as well. It is a sad day for all those are NOT Christians as well. How so? So many people of different cultures the world over look unto the Roman Catholic church as a Christian church. When they see with their own eyes Catholics threatening to KILL people, they make a descision to embrace other gods of the world instead of the one that created it. They honestly think that the Christian faith is a lie because they see Catholics looking to kill people IN THE NAME of Jesus Christ. Yet is it not written in the Christian Bible in Luke 3:14 that we should, "...Do violence to no man"
Are Christians capable of doing violence? Is it a Christian fruit to threaten the life of a man? Or is it the fruit of the wicked to do such an act? Proverbs 10:11 declares, "The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked."
It is also recorded from the mouth of Cardinal Bellarmine in, "the famous champion of Romanism" cited by Schumucker p. 76 "Experience teaches that there is no other remedy for the evil, but to put heretics (Protestants) to death; for the (Romish) church proceeded gradually and tried every remedy: at first she merely excommunicatied them; afterwards she added a fine; then she banished them; and finally she was constrained to put them to death."
I would like to share with you at this time a couple of articles that have reported on this billboard.
(AgapePress) - The nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization is criticizing an Oregon advertising company which recently accepted a billboard proclaiming the Pope as the Antichrist.
Officials with the Catholic League say they've tried numerous times to contact the Oregon-based Outdoor Media Dimensions to post a rebuttal to a sign along Interstate 5 near Medford. The billboard sparking the controversy reads "The Pope is the Antichrist ... Free Proof" and offers a website for more information.
...The message is sponsored by Larry Weathers, a 50-year-old barber from Talent, Oregon, who says he will not take the sign down despite several threats on his life. Weathers is a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Remnant Ministries.
CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – A billboard proclaiming the pope is the Antichrist has unleashed the wrath of the Catholic community, sparked a debate over First Amendment rights, and led to death threats against the man behind the message. The red, white and blue sign, located along Interstate-5 just north of Medford, Oregon reads, "The POPE Is The ANTICHRIST, Free Proof," and provides a website address for more information. "It was like, 'Oh my God, why would anyone want to do that?'" exclaims Rose Khng describing her initial reaction to the billboard. "It was very offensive, extremely."
Larry Weathers, a 50-year-old barber from the small town of Talent, sponsored the sign. He says he has no intention of taking it down, despite a flurry of death threats. "As long as they're threatening this and not shooting," Weathers tells WorldNetDaily. "And they've got to go through God [to kill me]. If He says it's all right, then I can't argue with that."
Weathers has been flooded with reaction – both negative and positive – since an editorial published this week in the Catholic Sentinel urged the public to call for the sign's removal. The Portland-based publication bills itself as the oldest Catholic newspaper on the West Coast. "It's just about 50-50," Weathers says of the nature of the calls. "Many people tell me what my mother is for bringing me into this world."
LATER IN THE ARTICLE IT STATES THAT...Weathers contends any examination of end-time prophecy will clearly demonstrate that the pope is identified in the Bible as the "man of sin," "son of perdition" and "whore of Babylon." "I wasn't looking to join a church, I just wanted to join the truth," explains Weathers, who meets with about 40 people as part of The Rogue Valley Historic Seventh-day Adventists (which has no connection to, and is shunned by the more well-known Seventh-day Adventists.) It was Weathers' belief that the seventh day of the week, Saturday, is the Sabbath day of rest for followers of God that originally prompted him to post billboards. It has been a labor of love for him since 1993.
Despite the harsh rhetoric and threats against his life, Weathers insists he's neither hateful nor bigoted in any manner. In fact, he believes he's acting out of love for Catholics and the public at large. He likens himself to Noah of the Old Testament who warned of coming catastrophe unless people repented and followed God. "I can't see Noah saying 'Forget about all those raindrops!' as he's shutting the door to the ark," laughs Weathers. "Noah warned 'em and that's what we're doing." "It's no different from yelling 'Fire!' to save people from being burned," he adds.
Being in this type of ministry one can understand that death threats DO become a normal occurance, I myself have seen many. However, since the Catholic Sentinel urged the public to call for the sign's removal, Larry Weathers tells us that he has received a "flurry" of death threats as well as other methods of hatred. Since 1993 this billboard has been standing, but it wasn't until the Catholic Sentinel asked all their subscribers to make a public outcry did Mr Weathers notice an increase in death threats. Sadly, this appears to be the norm for Rome. Just as prophecy declares, the Antichrist WILL use any means possible to stop the Truth from going forth. Even if it means threatening the lives of those that preach it. Rome has always felt it was her responsibility to use force in order to spread the doctrines of Catholicism. In the book, "The Catholic Church, The Renassance, and Protestantism, pp. 182-183" it is stated, "The rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris, H.M.A. Baudrillart, revealed the attitude of the church and her leaders toward persecution. "When confronted with heresy," he said, "she does not content herself with persuasion, arguments of an intellectual and moral order appear to her insufficient, and she has recourse to force, to corporal punishment, to torture."
Many Catholics to this day are unaware that their church still holds to such barbaric customs as these in the name of Christianity. Could it be, those that have sent death threats to Mr Weathers are those that still embrace the words of John J. Oberlander as the proper Catholic conduct?
He stated back in 1954 in "The Voice of Freedom" on page 20. "The defense of Roman Catholics to this presentation is as follows: "Communists destroy churches because they are God's enemies; Catholic's destroy churches because they are God's friends... Against such men-founded churches... Catholics in Latin America should arise and wipe them out with fire."
And why do you suppose many will do as Rome prods? According to the Western Watchman of December 24, 1908, "The Catholic Church has persecuted ... when she thinks it is good to use physical force she will use it... Will the Catholic Church give bond that she will not persecute?... The Catholic Church gives no bonds for her good behaviour."
To get the government of a country's support to kill over 60,000 souls because they differ in religious belief. And then roar across Latin America for all catholics to rise up and kill "with fire" their neighbors that don't agree with such evil tactics, is absolutely insane. And when they are confronted on their apparent boldness of heresy they reply that they have no fear of the authorities and they have every right to force, put to death, and even torture whomever they please. You ask yourself, is this Christlike? Does the church of Rome still declare those that do not embrace Catholcism heretics? Is this not only a historic fact, but a modern fact of Rome as well? Did not John Paul II declare on March 12, 2000 in his "mea culpa" that the millions killed by the Roman Catholic church were killed as HERETICS? Is there evidence of this hatred for those who are not Catholics still evident today? Besides the obvious detah threats brother Weathers has realized, let me share this short article with you.
Brother Larry Weathers and many like him are merely reporting on a Truth that was proclaimed long ago. The Word of God is jam packed with Truths that most people in the world today cannot understand. That's mainly because it IS the last hours of Earth's history and most people are walking the way of Antichrist already. They cannot understand the prophecies, they cannot see the signs, they cannot hear the Truth. And this is mainly because their Pastors, Preachers, Ministers, and Priests REFUSE TO TELL THEM! And why is this? Because they simply do not believe the Bible. Case in point. Did you know there was a poll taken by the "Pittsburgh Press" on Sept. 24th 1977? In which was revealed that only 2% of American student ministers actually believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ! That was over 20 years ago! These "students" are Pastors, and Teachers TODAY! These that proclaim they do NOT believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ as Biblical fact, have been preaching to this generation for at least 20 years now. Almost everywhere you look you find people that simply do not believe Jesus is coming back! And it's not always because they choose not to believe the Word of God. It's mostly because their Pastors have refused to tell them ALL the Truth within the Word of God in regards to Antichrist. On my website I have a large list of forefathers of all the main denominatiosn of today. They ALL proclaim the Popes Antichrist. Yet, today, these same denominations refuse to preach what their founders wholeheartedly believed. Could it be they are adhereing to the edict of Pope Leo X?
In the year 1516AD Pope Leo X proclaimed, "No person shall preach without the permission of his Superior. All preachers shall explain the Gospel according to the Fathers. They shall not explain futurity or the times of Antichrist!"
The Gospel according to the fathers? What of the Gospel according to Matthew? Mark? Luke? Or John? Matthew 18:6 says, "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
The point made here is apparent. The little ones are those that already believe in Jesus. The Lord is declaring plainly that if we as men and women of God approach one that IS a true believer, and then proceed to twist or omit that which is written so much so as to offend, THAT is wrong! The Catholic children trapped within the grasp of Antichrist ARE UNAWARE of what is written. Their religious leaders have been caught red handed countless times twisting and ommitting that which is written so as to preach their Antichristian doctrines to them and their loved ones. And all the churches of today are doing as the "mother church" of Rome has taught them. Anyone with a Bible can simply research this and see for themselves the simple truth in this. Prophecy is 100% accurate! And seeing how some of us do in fact understand these prophecies, it is our job to WARN them! Ezekiel 3:18 tells us that, "When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand." It's not only the wicked that need to be warned my friends. For it is also written in Ezekiel 3:20, "...When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
Understand, Larry Weathers, and many children of God like him are simply doing as they are told by their Heavenly Father. They are warning people! It's is because of love we preach this message. It is because we do not want those that are trapped in Satan's grasp to remain there. And sadly many will choose to ignore the watchmen on the wall. This billboard is merely stating there is a "sword in the land" people! The children of God are merely blowing the trumpet of warning is all. It is Biblically simple. Ezekiel 33:1-6 ever so plainly stated... "Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul."
Like the nonbelievers in Jerusalem in 70ad, most people refuse to research the prophetic FACTS of the Word of God. They ignore the trumpet blast. However, the true Christians that were in Jerusalem at that time understood plainly what Jesus was warning them of when they saw the "abomination of desolation" standing there, they did EXACTLY as Jesus said to do. They fled! However, history records, those that ignored the prophetic facts DIED that day.
Brother Larry Weathers, like many Christians before him are merely warning the people of a real danger. And how real is this danger? Is there Rock hard evidence that the Popes of the Roman Catholic church are Antichrist? Are there really prophecies that are directly linked with historic facts proving who Antichrist is? At this time I would like to share with you a small portion of the extremely large collection of prophecies that have been investigated and proclaimed by Christians the world over. For centuries these Truths have been made known to the Elect. And many of them were indeed put to death in a bevy of torturous ways by the Roman Catholic church for preaching these facts. On March 12, 2000 Pope John Paul II did in fact admit the Roman Catholic church did kill millions upon millions of Christians. Some were burned at the stake, some were boiled in oil, some skinned alive, some drawn and quartered, many were cooked to death, hung, shot, or impailed. Many were emasculated, some were frozen to death, others even had their babies cut from their wombs, and as they died, they watched as their babies heads were slammed against stone walls. The list goes on and on folks. It's not an easy topic to share. However, truth is truth.
By the way, thank the Lord Jesus Christ for allowing you to be alive in these last days. We now have the benefit of Historic records at our fingertips today. History is mostly behind us! We have PROOF the prophecies were fulfilled exactly as the Bible said. We now need to take the advantage of the historic records. So... moving on... What are some "quick facts" that prove brother Larry Weathers and many like him are 100% correct in proclaiming the Pope Antichrist?
The whore will be a church & state combined. Revelation 17:3, "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
The whore of Babylon will sit upon 7 hills. Revelation 17:9, "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."
The Beast will rise from the "sea" Revelation 13:1, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,"
Fact: Roman Catholicism arose out of Western Europe with a multitude of "peoples, nations, and tongues" as parishoners. At present the Roman Catholic church sports the highest number of "peoples, nations and tongues" the world over.
Fact: Over 100 Nations have state representatives at the Vatican.
The four Beasts of Daniel will join as one in the last days as Antichrist. Daniel 7:2, "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea."
Antichrist will be a strong Political power. Revelation 13:3, "...all the world wondered after the beast." Revelation 13:7, "... power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."
The Beast will control a man and his name will equal 666. Revelation 13:17,18 "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Fact: Documented Roman Catholic source states "The letters inscribed in the Pope's miter are these 'VICARIUS FILII DEI'. which is the Latin for 'VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.' Catholics hold that the church, which is a visible society, must have a visible head...., as head of the church, was given the title, 'VICAR OF CHRIST'." Our Sunday Visitor, (Catholic Weekly) "Bureau of information," Huntington, Ind., April 18, 1915.
The Roman Church would reign for 1260 years before being "wounded unto death." Revelation 13:5, "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."
The forty two months of Rev 13:5 and the "time, and times and dividing a time" of Daniel 7:25 equal the same thing. 42 months = "3 1/2 years" A "time (one year) and times (+ two years) and the dividing of time, (+ half a year ) = three and a half years, or forty two months (12+24 + 6 = 42 months) And then Revelation 12:6 confirms this when it says that the church of Jesus would hide in the wilderness for exactly 1260 days. 42 months, or 3 and a half years equals 1260 days. Still, some will say that 42 months does NOT equal 1260 days because all our months do not equal 30 days each. The fact here is, prophecy speaks of Biblical months. To understand the forty and two months, or the time, and times and diving a time, that the beast will reign, we must first find the method of time the Bible declares for prophecy. God says in Ezekiel 4:6 "I have appointed thee each day for a year" And we also find the Bible acknowledges a month to be 30 days long. Because in, Genesis 7:11 we see the rain started in Noah's day on the 17 day of the 2nd month and in Genesis 8:3,4 we find the water receded at the end of exactly 150 days, then it says the ark rested on the 17th day of the 7th month. That's exactly 5 months to the day. If we divide the 150 days by the 5 months you get 30 days per month. So 42 months multiplied by 30 equals 1260. And according to Ezekiel 4:6, that's 1260 years that Papal Rome would reign as a church and state.
Historical records reveal the papacy began its reign in 538 AD upon Emperor Justinian's decree, and under the military protection of Belisarius. And the Bible says the beast will rule for EXACTLY 1260 years before receiving a mortal wound. Now it's just a matter of simple mathematics. It is also a grand method by which to see the Lord glorified. If the prophecy is correct, 1260 years after 538 AD the Beast must receive a mortal wound. If you add 1260 years to the beginning year for the Roman Catholic church, 538 AD, you will arrive in the year 1798 AD. So, according to the Bible we are told the first reign of the Beast will last till the year 1798 . So, did it end in 1798, and how? First understand, according to the prophecy, we learn that, "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword..." Revelation 13:10.
That's Exactly 42 prophetic months, or 1260 years, or a time, and times, and dividing a time after the Papacy began its powerful reign that the Pope "shall go into captivity" by the military! By the way, to further illustrate this to be fatc, shortly after his captivity the Pope did in fact die, in exile.
This wound administered to the Beast will be healed: Revelation 13:3, "... his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
The beast is one that "was", "is not" and "yet is". Revelation 17:8, "...behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."
...and is not:: From 1798ad until the signing of the Lateran treaty in 1929 the Roman Church/state was non-existent.
The Beast will be a blasphemous beast: Revelation 13:1, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
Fact: Blasphemy defined: John 10:33, "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God." -AND- Mark 2:7, "Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?"
Three nations will be destroyed by the Beast: Daniel 7:8, "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
The beast will understand and do as Satan requests. Daniel 8:23, "And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up."
The beast will seek to change times and laws. Daniel 7:25, "And he shall... think to change times and laws:."
Rome will give its power to the Catholic church: Revelation 13:4, "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast..."
It will be a MOTHER CHURCH: Revelation 17:5, "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Fact: June 26, 2000 the Vatican became the MOTHER of the one world church.
It will attack the children of the Creator. Revelation 13:7, "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints..."
Fact: March 12, 2000 Pope John Paul II admitted the Roman Catholic church did in fact kill well over 100 million Christians.
It will be a Christian church doing Babylonian (Pagan) acts: Revelation 17:5, "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT..."

Q: MASA's over finite dimensional Hilbert spaces contain non trivial projections I am dealing with an exercise in (elementary) operator theory and I am trying to prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a maximal abelian, self-adjoint subalgebra of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ (where $n>1$) then:
$\mathcal{A}$ contains a non-zero projection, different than the unit $I_n$.
I know that vN algebras are rich in projections and since we are in finite dimension, $\mathcal{A}$ is a vN algebra. The thing is I am sure that I can prove this with elementary arguments, but I can't get around it. Could somebody help me out?

A: Fix an element $a\in\mathcal{A}$.  Then $a$ is normal, so by the spectral theorem we can conjugate by a unitary and assume $a$ is a diagonal matrix.  If the diagonal entries of $a$ are not all the same, we can find a polynomial $p$ which sends some of those diagonal entries to $1$ and the others to $0$, and then $p(a)\in\mathcal{A}$ will be a nontrivial projection.
The only case not covered by this argument is if all the diagonal entries of $a$ are the same, and this is true for every $a\in\mathcal{A}$.  But then $\mathcal{A}$ is just the multiples of the identity, and fails to be maximal since it can be enlarged to all the diagonal matrices.
(Note that essentially the same argument works for masas in $B(H)$ for any Hilbert space $H$, not necessarily finite dimensional; just instead of a polynomial $p$ you need to use the Borel functional calculus to get a nontrivial spectral projection from $a$ unless $a$ is a multiple of the identity.)

A: Polynomial functional calculus should be enough. Let $\mathcal B$ be a (strict or not) subalgebra of $\mathcal A$, so that it contains a self-adjoint element $b=b^*$ with a non-trivial spectrum. We separate this set of eigenvalues of $b$ in two parts, and find a polynomial $P$ with real coefficients which is $0$ on the one part and $1$ on the other part. Because of $P^2=P$ on the spectrum of $b$, we have for $p=P(b)$ the relation
$$
p^2 = (P(b))^2=(P^2)(b)=P(b)=p\ .
$$
Because $P$ has real coefficients,
$$
p^*=P(b)^*=\bar P(b)=P(b)=b\ .
$$
(Well, $p$ is the projection on the direct sum of the eigenspaces of $b$ corresponding to the $1$-part.)
It remains to show that a subalgebra $\mathcal B$, which has the maximality property from the OP admits such a $b$. Suppose this is not the case, than for all $x\in \mathcal B$ we have that $x+x^*$ is a multiple of the identity.  Let $\tau$ be the normed trace, $\tau(1)=1$. We get $x+x^*=2\tau(x)$. So $\mathcal B$ should be a subalgebra of a very special vectorial subspace $V$ of $\mathcal B$, with an "anti-mirroring" of values outside the diagonal. However, taking the image of $x\to xx^*$ on $V$ brings us outside $V$ for an $n\ge 2$. Contradiction.

No Win No Fee Essential In Securing Libel Justice For Wrongly Accused
09/11/2011 by robinpatey	in Blog, Legal Advice
I listened with interest to BBC Radio 4's The Today Programme last week which featured an interview with Mr Christopher Jefferies the man falsely accused of the murder of Jo Yeates. The landscape gardener was found dead on Christmas Day 2010 and Mr. Jefferies her landlord was interviewed at length on the programme about how he is trying to move on with his life after the investigation.
He spoke about the the invasive reporting of the case and 'trial' by media which effectively cost him a year of his life. One can only imagine how difficult it must have been for My Jefferies to have had reporters and paparazzi tracking his every move and printing lurid stories about his private life branding him a 'freak' and 'peeping Tom' and linking him falsely to paedophile crimes and unsolved murders.
'No Way' Could Jefferies Have Brought Case Without No Win No Fee
Mr. Jefferies was able to claim for rightful libel damages from a plethora of newspapers who had besmirched his reputation doing so under a conditional fee or 'no win no fee' agreement. He spoke out against government plans to reform this system and stated on the programme that without a conditional fee agreement there would have been 'no way' he could have pursued justice. Simply put he would have been exposed to too huge financial risk to sue the newspapers.
No Win No Fee Agreement Key Tool For Securing Justice
Mr. Jefferies appreciates that his case was exceptional so great was the media spotlight on the Jo Yeates case. Yet he has joined the campaign against these government reforms and makes some valid points on how access to justice through conditional fee agreements must be preserved for all. You can listen to the interview again here or read a transcript here.

Q: Extract from an ifstream without a temporary variable? ifstream offers an overload of operator>> to extract values from the next line of the stream. However, I tend to find myself doing this often:
int index;
input >> index;
arr[index] = <something>;

Is there any way to get this data into the [index] without having to create this temporary variable?

A: Sure, you can do this by just constructing a temporary istream_iterator for example:
arr[*istream_iterator<int>(input)] = something

A: You can write a function to extract the next value from an istream:
template <typename T> // T must be DefaultConstructible
T read(std::istream& input) {
    T result;
    input >> result;
    return result;
}

Then, you could just write:
arr[read<int>(input)] = <something>;

Although you should probably write
arr.at(read<int>(input)) = <something>;

Because otherwise you open yourself up to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. If the input file had an integer out of range, you'd be writing out of bounds.

The Geelong Regional Library Corporation provides free, universal access to lifelong learning, reading and discovery, via both the physical and virtual environment, to a diverse range of residents and visitors across the Greater Geelong region.
The Geelong Regional Library (GRL) is not just one library, but a network of fourteen regional libraries, plus a mobile library, that services four member councils: Borough of Queenscliffe, The Surfcoast Shire, Golden Plains Shire and the City of Greater Geelong. Fluid was engaged to create the new brand and identity for the library, along with an intuitive and engaging digital experience that extends the library's relevance to a greater number of user groups. Secondly, we needed to create a visual language to reflect our client's progressive, leading position and to challenge existing perceptions of a library as 'dusty and old'.
Applying our proven Fluid Agile Creative Strategy process, we undertook extensive research and stakeholder engagement to help determine a strategy that was focused on promoting the library as a destination or gathering place for diverse user groups, rather than simply a place to borrow books. Inspired by the library as both a place of learning and a place of wonder and discovery, we created a brand experience reflective of new ideas and technologies, as well as today's contemporary library institution. "At the heart of our strategy was the desire to convey a sense of worlds opening up and knowledge expanding," explains Clifton Daniell, Creative Director at Fluid.
The brand's new contemporary look includes geometric shapes that represent the diversity of the community. It reflect open and inclusive learning spaces, and technologies of a modern library, while referencing the architecture of the new Greater Geelong library housed under the iconic dome. A vibrant, youthful colour palette, paired with photography of a diverse group of library users, creates an inclusive visual language that resonates with the library's mission. Overall, it's a fresh, unexpected and vibrant brand that engages and reflects its diverse users.
The Fluid team members were all great to work with. They had very robust processes in place to ensure that they correctly understood our brief and their research into world best practice was extremely thorough. The ideas they presented us with were all of a high quality and the team helped us to work through any creative challenges we encountered. We particularly appreciated the excellent project management skills, their attention to detail and ability to keep the whole project on deadline within challenging timelines.

Good Hotel. Beautiful pool. Friendly staff. Good location near BTS.
Online booking went fine. It listed the price in Thai Baht only. It would have been nice to see an approximate conversion in my currency USD also.
Reception was cold. Located at the end of Soi 4 street and one has to walk a lot from main road or nearest BTS sky train station. Tuk tuk service is generally for one way and max 4 persons every half an hour. Swimming pool is small.
Booking was genuine and fast.
That was my third visit to the Woraburi and this is still one of the best value in this part of BKK. Room always clean with a spacious bathroom.Very friendly staff, quick check-in/out, nice restaurant bar and breakfast. The pool at the 5th floor is always good when you want to escape the heat and relax. Close to the night life (10min walking but far enough to avoid the noise) BTS and Sukhumvit Road. The only service which would need some improvement is the internet which I found a bit slow. Will definitely come back and recommend this hotel.
Always good to book with sawadee. No problem at all. Excellent.
