Genocidal Politics and the Somali Famine
This Al Jazeera article argues that the famine in Somalia is a result of local, national and international politics. The Somali people have been made vulnerable to exhausted food resources due to continuous military and political interventions in the region – particularly by Ethiopia, the AU and the US. The US and its allies have sought to defeat the "Islamic terrorist" group al-Shabaab, putting millions of people at risk. Somalia's famine is due not only to al-Shabaab's presence in the country and ecological disturbances but also to geopolitics.
By Abdi Ismail Samatar
Droughts are common in the Somali peninsula, but only an exceptional one produces famine. For instance, the Horn of Africa drought of 1984 did not produce famine in Somalia, while the Ethiopian population was devastated. The latter country suffered famine because the military government of the time was engaged in a civil war, and did not come to the rescue of its people.
Ten years earlier, in the mid-1970s, there was a prolonged drought, known as "dabadeer" ["the long-tailed"], in several parts of Somalia. Fortunately, this drought did not lead to mass starvation because the Somali government moved quickly to assist the people. They mobilised the population and sought the assistance of international allies to deliver food and water to the needy.
Somalia's last major famine was in 1992 and was not caused by drought. Nearly 300,000 innocent people starved to death because of sectarian politics. The epicentre of that famine was in Bay, one of the country's most productive agricultural regions, and starvation was induced by warlords who used food as a weapon against farmers and pastoralists.
Marauding gangs had invaded the region after the collapse of the Somali state in 1991 and looted farmers' harvests. The country's major warlord wanted to capture the region, so did not allow food aid to reach the desperate population. Reports told of unimaginable suffering long before TV images of ruined lives reached millions around the world. It was only then that US president George HW Bush decided to send US troops to the country to enable food to reach the indigent population.
The climatic record show that droughts frequently occur in the Somali peninsula, but have not produced famines over the past fifty years, until 2011. However, the UN and other international actors have been arguing about the devastating drought in the area for nearly a year, while only a handful of scholars and activists were alarmed by the creeping famine. What thoughtful people must ask is: "Why famine now?"
The Somali people in the affected regions have been made vulnerable to ecological disturbances because of several political and military forces. These include the US "War on Terror", the al-Shabaab terrorist group, Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG), the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia and its continuous political and military involvement there, and finally East Africa's Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and the UN.
These actors have created circumstances in which local food resources were exhausted and assistance from outside was denied or delayed until tens of thousands of people starved.
Exactly what role did each of these forces play in manufacturing the famine? First, the US agenda in Somalia has been to fight what it calls "Islamic terrorists", and al-Shabaab in particular. Since the bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and especially since 9/11, clandestine operations were conducted to snatch "terrorists" and dry up their support base in Somalia. These operations sought assistance from several of Mogadishu's warlords, who formed the "Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism" in 2005.
Somalis despised this alliance and their patron, and ultimately turned against them under the leadership of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) in 2006. The UIC defeated the warlords, restored peace to Mogadishu for the first time in 15 years, and brought most of southern Somalia under its ambit.
Consequently, the US and its Ethiopian ally claimed that these Islamists were terrorists and therefore a menace to the region. In contrast, the vast majority of Somalis supported the UIC and pleaded with the international community to engage them peacefully. But the peace did not last. The US-supported Ethiopian invasion begun in December 2006 and displaced more than a million people and killed close to 15,000 civilians. Those displaced then are part of today's famine victims. Somalia counterattacked, and Ethiopia was compelled to withdraw the bulk of its troops from Somalia. But the dynamics generated by the Ethiopian invasion continue to destabilise the country.
Second, IGAD and the international community picked up where the Ethiopians left off, by designing a new TFG - led by the faction of the UICs most amenable to the international community, and particularly to the US agenda. The new regime marginalised the forces that compelled Ethiopia to withdraw from Somalia. Consequently, the TFG came to control only those areas in Mogadishu under the command of the African Union force.
A new civil war ensued between the TFG and its opponents, and within a month much of southern Somalia fell under the sway of al-Shabaab and its affiliates. Once in power, the TFG became known for its corruption, incompetence, and internal strife. Propped up by the international community, the regime in Mogadishu has been oblivious to the growing crisis, which ultimately led to the death of nearly 80,000 of its "citizens". It has yet to articulate a plan of actions to rescue its population. Engulfed in an internal power struggle, the regime has failed to put aside sectarian politics to save the population.
Al-Shabaab fails to govern
Third, al-Shabaab - originally the youth wing of the UIC - declared its affiliation with al-Qaeda, and were identified as a terrorist group by the UN and the US, and have been consequently targeted by US forces. The UN and the US have blocked food shipment to the areas that al-Shabaab controls in order to deny them these supplies. Al-Shabaab wants to establish an Islamic state, but unfortunately, it has failed to put in place even the most rudimentary infrastructure to govern the region or provide services.
Furthermore, al-Shabaab has denied the population the opportunity to organise itself to meet the challenges of the livelihood crisis. Thus, despite the fact that the two epicentres (Lower Shabeele and Bakool) of the famine are in al-Shabaab hands, they have failed to appeal even to the Islamic world for assistance. Most insidiously, they continue to deny the existence of significant famine conditions in the area and have consequently reneged on the permission they recently gave to the world community to deliver food to the starving.
Normally, societies have three lines of defence against mass starvation: local capacity, national government and the international community. When a disaster hits a region, the first help comes from local administrations and the communities themselves. If events overwhelm the first responders, then the national government takes charge of operations; and when the crisis exceeds the wherewithal of the nation, international actors come to the rescue.
It is clear that all three levels of livelihood protections have failed in Somalia. Al-Shabaab has prohibited the local population from organising their municipal governments and charities to fend off the disaster. Similarly, Somalia's national government, which is beholden to sectarian leadership and international patrons, has been oblivious to the emerging calamity, and has thwarted the international community from coming to its aid.
The African Union, the UN, the EU, and the US continued to describe the famine as a drought until July 18, when it was no longer possible to conceal the deaths of almost 80,000 people from starvation. The United States and its allies have been so obsessed with defeating al-Shabaab that they have ignored the fate of the millions of people who live in areas controlled by al-Shabaab.
Finally, callous uses of military and political power by all actors against poor people have produced a catastrophic famine. Altering the behaviour of the powerful would be tantamount to a revolution. But before such a transformation can be imagined, lives must be saved by immediately dropping food and water in villages and settlements in the region. Such urgent distribution of life's necessities will keep people in their homes before a humane scheme of reconstruction could begin.
What is ultimately required is the establishment, by Somalis with the genuine assistance of others, of a national government that is accountable to the people. Such a government is the best defence against famine, as well as against terrorism.

Q: Python: Parse all elements under a div I am trying to parse all elements under div using beautifulsoup the issue is that I don't know all the elements underneath the div prior to parsing. For example a div can have text data in paragraph mode and bullet format along with some href elements. Each url that I open can have different elements underneath the specific div class that I am looking at:
example:
url a can have following:

 Hello I have a link

 I have a bullet point

foo

but url b
can have

 I only have paragraph

I started as doing something like this:
content = souping_page.body.find('div', attrs={'class': 'content})

but how to go beyond this is little confuse. I was hoping to create one string from all the parse data as a end result.
At the end I want the following string to be obtain from each example:
Example 1: Final Output
 parse_data = Hello I have a link I have a bullet point
 parse_links = foo.com

Example 2: Final Output
 parse_data = I only have paragraph

A: You can get just the text of a text with element.get_text():
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> sample1 = BeautifulSoup('''\
...

...
 Hello I have a link

...
...
 I have a bullet point
...
... foo
...

... ''').find('div')
>>> sample2 = BeautifulSoup('''\
...

...
 I only have paragraph

...
...

... ''').find('div')
>>> sample1.get_text()
u'\n Hello I have a link \n I have a bullet point\n\nfoo\n'
>>> sample2.get_text()
u'\n I only have paragraph \n'

or you can strip it down a little using element.stripped_strings:
>>> ' '.join(sample1.stripped_strings)
u'Hello I have a link I have a bullet point foo'
>>> ' '.join(sample2.stripped_strings)
u'I only have paragraph'

To get all links, look for all a elements with href attributes and gather these in a list:
>>> [a['href'] for a in sample1.find_all('a', href=True)]
['foo.com']
>>> [a['href'] for a in sample2.find_all('a', href=True)]
[]

The href=True argument limits the search to  tags that have a href attribute defined.

A: Per the Beautiful Soup docs, to iterate over the children of a tag use either .contents to get them as a list or .children (a generator).
for child in title_tag.children:
    print(child)

So, in your case, for example, you grab the .text of each tag and concatenate it together. I'm not clear on whether you want the link location or simply the label, if the former, refer to this SO question.

The annual number of hip arthroplasties is increasing combined with the aging population worldwide. In accordance with the increasing number of primary hip arthroplasties, the number of revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) is expected to increase. The incidence and burden of revision THAs in the United States and have been reported by registry studies. To identify potential differences according to ethnics and regional practice, it is important to obtain data from East Asia. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of studies on the burden and future projection of revision THA based on a large-scale database in East Asia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate annual incidence and burden of revision THAs and to project the future burden in South Korea.
We identified primary THAs, primary hemiarthroplasties (HAs) and revision THAs, which were performed from 2010 to 2018, using database of Health Insurance and Review and Assessment (HIRA); nation-wide medical claim system of South Korea. The annual incidence rates (per 100,000) of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA, and the annual burden of revision THA; the number of revision THAs divided by the sum of primary hip arthroplasties and revision THAs, were calculated. The future burden of revision THAs were projected through 2030 using generalized linear model with Quasi-poisson regression.
During the 9-year period, the annual incidences of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA increased by 47, 29 and 3%, respectively, while the revision burden decreased from 0.13 to 0.10. Compared to 2018, the annual incidences of primary THA, HA, and revision THA were projected to increase by 7.2, 2.3 and 1.1% per year, respectively, whereas the burden of revision THA was projected to decrease to 0.07 in 2030.
Trends of revision THA in South Korea were similar with those of national registry studies from the United States. The annual incidence of revision THA has steadily increased, whereas its burden has decreased. Findings of our study could be used for epidemiological comparison between Western countries and East Asia as well as for the establishment of medical policies of revision THA in East Asian countries.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most effective orthopedic procedures and has been utilized as the treatment of choice for the patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the hip [1,2,3,4]. However, THA is associated with early and late failures and inevitably necessitates revision surgeries, which is a socioeconomic burden worldwide [5,6,7,8].
In the United States, the annual number of revision THA has steadily increased, [6, 9] but the burden of revision THA; the proportion of revision THAs to overall sum of hip arthroplasties; primary THAs, primary HAs and revision THAs, was disconcerting since 1990s [10].
There might be regional differences in the burden of revision THA according to ethnicity, implant design, fixation method; cemented versus cementless, and bearing surface [11].
Number of studies outside the United States reported the annual incidence of revision THA [12,13,14,15,16]. Epidemiological trend similar to the United States; increase in the number of revision THA and decrease in the burden of revision THA, was observed in other countries including Australia, New Zealand, England, Wales and Sweden except for Norway [17].
Nevertheless, there is lack of epidemiological study of revision THA in East Asia, which is necessary for regional comparison of the revision THA burden between Western countries and East Asia and for awareness of worldwide tendency.
The purpose of this study was 1) to analyze the burden of hip arthroplasty including primary THA, HA and revision THA from 2010 to 2018 and 2) to provide a future projection of these procedures to 2030 in South Korea.
Source of database
This is a retrospective study using secondary register-based data analysis. The Korean Health Insurance and Review and Assessment (HIRA) database includes medical claims from entire South Korean institutions. Ninety-seven percent of South Korean population is obliged to register into the Korea National Health Insurance Program (KNHIP).
The remaining 3% of the population is covered by the Medical Aid program, which is paid by the government. Data of patients under the.
Medical Aid program are submitted to HIRA in the same manner as KNHIP. Therefore, the HIRA database included the entire South Korean population.
The HIRA database contains demographics, diagnoses, procedures and prescriptions of all THA patients in South Korea.
We identified primary THAs, primary HAs and revision THAs, which had been done from January 2010 to May 2014 in South Korea, using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) codes of THA (N0711) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) (N0715).
Since June 2014, the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) added complex surgical procedure codes (total joint arthroplasty-hip (complex) (N2070) and hemiarthroplasty-hip (complex) (N2710)) for the specific 21 complex conditions for reimbursement of an additional cost to the medical institute (Supplement. 1). THAs and HAs, which had been done from June 2014 to December 2018, were identified using 4 procedure codes (N0711, N2070, N0715, and N2710).
Revision THAs were identified using procedural codes of simple revision THA (N1711, N1721, N1715, N1725) and complex revision THA (N3710, N3720, N4710, N4720).
Data and statistical analyses
The numbers and crude incidence rates (per 100,000) of THA, HA, and revision THA procedures were calculated according to age and gender. Annual incidence rate of each arthroplasty was calculated by dividing the number of each procedure at each year with corresponding year-specific South Korean population. The annual population data were acquired from database of the Korean Statistical Information Service. Then, the incidence rate per 100,000 person-year was calculated. The annual rates were stratified according to age and gender.
The burden of revision THA was defined as the proportion of revision THAs to overall sum of hip arthroplasties; primary THAs, primary HAs and revision THAs [18]. The future projection of THA, HA and revision THAs through 2030 were calculated by using generalized linear model with Quasi-poisson regression. Demographics-based projections through 2030 were obtained from the Korean Statistical Information Service.
Annual incidences of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA from 2010 to 2018
From 2010 to 2018, 87,213 primary THAs, 116,079 primary HAs, and 25,232 revision THAs were done in South Korea. The number of each surgery at each year is summarized in Table 1.
Table 1 Change of hip arthroplasties in South Korea from 2010 to 2018
During the 9-year period, the annual crude incidence of primary THA and that of primary HA increased by 47% (15.2/100,000 in 2010 to 22.3/100,000 in 2018) and 29% (21.6/100,000 in 2010 to 27.8/100,000 in 2018), respectively. Nevertheless, the annual incidence rate of revision THA remained stable at an average of 5.5/100,000 (range, 5.4–5.9/100,000) (Fig. 1), and the burden of revision THA decreased from 0.13 to 0.10 (Table 1).
Number of primary total hip arthroplasty a, hemiarthroplasty b, and revision total hip arthroplasty c in each gender (THA, total hip arthroplasty; HA, hemiarthroplasty; RevTHA, revision total hip arthroplasty)
Overall, 86% of primary HA patients were ≥ 70 years of age, whereas 50% of primary THA patients and 29% of revision THA patients were < 60 years of age (Table 2).
Table 2 Demographic characteristic of patients who had hip replacements from 2010 to 2018 in Korea
The annual number of primary THA increased in age groups of 50–59 years, 60–69 years, 70–79 years and ≧ 80 years, whereas the annual number of HA increased only in the age group of ≧80 years. The annual number of revision THA slightly increased in age groups of 70–79 years and ≧ 80 years (Fig. 2).
Number of total hip arthroplasty a, hemiarthroplasty b, and revision total hip arthroplasty c stratified by age group from 2010 to 2018 (THA, total hip arthroplasty; HA, hemiarthroplasty; RevTHA, revision total hip arthroplasty)
In 2018, the peak age of primary THA was 50–59 years in men and 70–79 years in women. The number of HA abruptly increased after 50 years, especially in women. The peak age of revision THA was 60–69 years in men and 70–79 years in women (Fig. 3).
Number of total hip arthroplasty a, hemiarthroplasty b, and revision total hip arthroplasty c in each age group in 2018 (THA, total hip arthroplasty; HA, hemiarthroplasty; RevTHA, revision total hip arthroplasty)
The burden of revision THA slightly decreased from 0.13 in 2010 to 0.10 in 2018.
Projection of annual numbers of primary THA, primary HA and revision THA to 2030
In our prediction model, the numbers of primary THA and HA were predicted to increase to 21,465 (95% confidence interval (CI) 16,792 – 27,451) and 18,384 (95% CI 16,162 – 20,918), respectively, while the number of revision THA was predicted to be 3241 (95% CI 3042 – 3454) in 2030 (Fig. 4). Compared to 2018, the annual incidences of primary THA, HA, and revision THA were projected to increase by 7.2, 2.3 and 1.1% per year, respectively, whereas the burden of revision THA was projected to decrease to 0.07 in 2030.
Projection of future cases of total hip arthroplasty a, hemiarthroplasty b, and revision total hip arthroplasty c in South Korea (THA, total hip arthroplasty; HA, hemiarthroplasty; RevTHA, revision total hip arthroplasty)
Our study showed that the annual crude incidences of primary THA and primary HA increased by 47 and 29%, respectively, whereas and revision THA increased by only 3% and the burden of revision THA decreased from 0.13 to 0.10 during the period from 2010 to 2018 in South Korea. The burden of revision THA was projected to decrease to 0.07 in 2030.
These trends were similar with those of previous national registry studies from the United States, United Kingdom and Taiwan (Table 3) [9, 13, 14, 19, 20].
Table 3 Change of burden of revision total hip arthroplasty in each country
In the study of Wolf et al. the revision burden reduced from 0.20 in 1991–1993 to 0.17 in 2006–2008 [19]. Another study by Schwartz et al. showed similar decrease of the revision burden from 0.19 in 2001 to 0.13 in 2010 [21].
In 2014, Kurtz et al. estimated hip arthroplasty data of from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample in United States and projected the number of hip arthroplasties and the burden of revision THA. In their study, the number of primary THA and that of revision THA increased by 6.0% and by 10.8%, respectively, and the revision burden increased from 0.135 to 0.141 from 2009 to 2010. The numbers were expected to increase by 74% for primary THA and 36% for revision THA, but the revision burden was projected to decrease from 0.14 to 0.11 between 2010 and 2020 [9].
In 2019, Heckmann et al. compared the hip arthroplasty data from American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) to national registry data of Australia, New Zealand, England, Wales, Sweden and Norway [17]. In the AJRR, the burden of revision THA decreased from 0.14 in 2014 to 0.09 in 2016. The burden of revision THA decreased in most counties except for Norway. The burden decreased from 0.12 to 0.11 in Australia, from 0.15 to 0.12 in New Zealand, from 0.10 to 0.08 in England/Wales, and from 0.11 to 0.10 in Sweden [17]. However, in Norway, the burden slightly increased from 0.135 to 0.138 [17].
As opposed to the study of Heckmann et al., Patel et al. reported an increase of revision THA burden in England and Wales from 0.09 in 2008 to 0.11 in 2012 [14].
The annual incidence rate (per 100,000 person-year) of primary THA and revision THA increased from 101 to 134 and from 19.2 to 21.1 per 100,000 Danish inhabitants from 1996 to 2002, respectively. The incidence rates of primary THA and revision THA increased by 30 and 10% during the same period [15]. In line with this finding, the incidence of THA has also increased in South Korea during last decade. Aging of Korean population could be one of the main reasons of our findings.
In a previous study of THA epidemiology from South Korea, both the number and incidence rate of primary hip arthroplasty increased steadily from 2007 to 2011, but there was no significant change in the number of revision THA during the period [16].
The worldwide trend of decrease in the burden of revision THA (Table 3) means relatively small increase in the number of revision THAs compared to a substantial growth in the number of primary hip arthroplasties.
There might be some explanations for this decrease of the revision burden. First, surgical technique for primary THA has been improved with time [22]. Second, modern technologies of hip prostheses, especially, bearing surfaces might have prolonged the longevity of primary THA [23].
The strength of our study was that the study is based on national registry data. The results cover nearly 100% of all hip arthroplasties in South Korea. Such data are only available in few countries. Our study was based on national registry data and has inherent limitation. We could not identify the reason of arthroplasty, type of original prosthesis, type of fixation; cementless versus cemented, bearings surfaces and the reason of revision surgery in patients undergoing revision THA, because of de- identification of the HIRA database.
In this study, we confirmed an increase in number and incidence of revision THA as well as primary THA and HA from 2010 to 2018 in South Korea. The burden of revision THA in that period gradually decreased from 0.13 to 0.10, which was similar to reports from Western countries.

The goal of SIGs/PowerManagement is to improve the current state of power management in userspace. For Fedora 15 the plan is to improve the power monitoring and power profiling capabilities by upgrading PowerTOP to the 2.x branch. We also would like to extend and improve the functionality of tuned and update pm-utils to the latest version.
PowerTOP is a tool that finds the software components that make your computer use more power than necessary while it is idle. PowerTOP 2.x is complete rewrite of the 1.x code base. It extensively uses the kernel "perf" infrastructure to give much more accurate data. Another major feature of the 2.x code base is that the power behavior of the various devices in the system is prominently tracked and displayed, so that it's clear which devices are problematic in terms of power behavior. One of the more experimental features of the 2.0 codebase is a power estimation engine, which, after calibration and getting sufficient measurement points, is able to give an estimate of how much power individual devices and processes in the system are consuming. Currently the first beta was released by upstream.
The tuned package contains a daemon that tunes system settings dynamically to balance the power consumption and performance. It also performs various kernel tunings according to selected profile. The new version of tuned brings several bug fixes, improvements and profiles updates for better efficiency.
The pm-utils package contains utilities and scripts useful for tasks related to power management. We have synced it to the latest upstream version and updated the contributed bug reporting script.
The powertop and tuned packages need to be updated in rawhide. The pm-utils was already updated.
We are going to prepare a test day with complete instructions, benchmarks, tools.
Users should notice the new redesigned PowerTOP interface and new functionality such as the power estimation engine. Other improvements are not directly visible without measuring. So in order to really see the effect you'll either need a laptop and run it on battery or a power meter that is hooked between your system and the power line.
To enable all functionality of PowerTOP 2.0, kernel-2.6.37 or newer is required.
Revert to PowerTOP 1.x or provide the legacy 1.x binary.
Other updates shouldn't break things.
No need for release notes entry.

Dan Bruines was one of the primary characters in the film Jurassic Shark, in which he was called Dan Bruines, and was originally the main protagonist in Island of Doom: Jurassic Park, in which he was called Mike Bruines. He later returns in Jurassic Shark II: The Retribution, having survived his encounter with the shark in the first film and joining the Shark Hunters. Dan will return for the third and final film in the series, Jurassic Shark III: The Revolution. He is portrayed by Ben M.
Dan Bruines makes his debut in the Jurassic Shark film when he is sent by Chase Landon, who realized the predicament of the shark in the walking trail, to find Drake Matthews, a kid who is a shark expert. Dan manages to find out that the shark is a great white shark, and he invites Drake to go searching for people to come on the hunt with him. The two invite Billy Trenton and Cooper Culman. Afterwards, Dan and Drake have a meeting about the hunt with Nate Williams and Billy. As the meeting begins, Chase confirms his participation in the hunt as well.
The following day, the hunt begins, and the shark is immediately found in the walking trail. Chase, Dan and Drake climb a slope to escape from the shark, and Dan retreats to find everyone else while Chase battles the shark. After the brief battle, Chase and Drake find Nate, who states that Dan had seen the shark heading for his cul-de-sac neighborhood, and they set off to find it, yet they are unsuccessful. On the next day, Dan continues on the hunt with Chase, Drake, Anna Shelby and Alexa Murray. Dan splits up from the rest of the hunters and begins searching on his own, and is not seen for several days until Chase asks Billy if he'd seen Dan. Drake is sent by Chase to look for him, to which Drake finds Dan lying in the bushes, being pulled off by the shark to be eaten.
In the film's sequel, Chase reveals that Dan survived his ordeal with the shark from the first film, and that he's been recovering from his injuries.
Dan returns to the cul-de-sac during the chaos in which the sharks are freed by the InGen employee. He is greeted by a bike gang in the cul-de-sac, before heading to Chase's house and obtaining a broomstick to use as a weapon. He then meets Russell and Gabe, and as the two walk off, he gets involved in a duel with the Bull Shark. Eventually, he fatally stabs the shark through the head, and it dies. Afterwards, he is said to have met with Chase, who decided to make sure that the Bull Shark was dead while Dan searches for Eddie, who also dies soon after. As Dan searches for Eddie, he finds Quinn, who hopes to stop the park from opening. As Dan explains how he doesn't know what he's talking about, Chase arrives and says that the Bull Shark escaped, and in that moment the Bull Shark assaults Quinn. Dan and Chase retreat, with Dan believing that they should save themselves.
Later, Dan allies with Brett to fight the Hammerhead Shark behind Chase's house. After battling it for several minutes, they hide inside a recycling bin, which the shark can't fit its head through. As Brett crawls out of the bin, the shark kills him, having been above the bin. Dan, horrified, runs off to find Chase. After finding him, they split up to search for the Hammerhead. Quinn calls Dan on his walkie-talkie, much to his surprise, and tells him to come find him. Dan finds Quinn behind Chase's house, missing an arm and holding a gun. Quinn explains his motives on wanting to kill Dan and Chase, and he holds Chase hostage. Despite attempting to sacrifice himself, Quinn chooses to kill Chase first, but he is shot dead by Russell.
Afterwards, Chase, Dan and Russell regroup with Gabe and Jimmy to fight the Hammerhead Shark at Chase's swingset. For some reason, Dan disappears during the battle, and is not seen for the rest of the movie. However, it is confirmed that he survived.
Dan Bruines has been confirmed to return for Jurassic Shark III: The Revolution. He is the only original cast member from the first film confirmed to be returning so far, with Jon M, Will M, Nick S and Jacob D still awaiting confirmation.
The character's name was created by Ben M.
In Island of Doom, Mike Bruines was based off of Alan Grant.
Ben M, the actor for Dan Bruines, was very reluctant to film the movie most of the time, as he was annoyed by the other actors while he got in various fights with Jon M, the actor for Chase Landon. Eventually, the character was killed off entirely.
Other then Jacob D, who may or may not be returning for the third film, Ben M is the only original cast member interested in returning. Jon M, Will M and Nick S are not interested in the film.

On June 3rd, Jana Shih of Mobility Outreach International (MoI), was published in the Seatle Globalist speaking up about clubfoot, the inequality in access to treatment around the world and the 'revolutionary cure [that] put clubfoot on the global health agenda.' Jana speaks beautifully about how lives can be changed using the Ponseti method and the necessity of a public health approach in order for programmes to be successful, inequality readdressed and for a us to see a world without disability caused by clubfoot. She also gives mention to GCI, of which MoI is one of its founding members, and finishes with the success story of Mohamed, now an 'active 3-year old who can walk, run and play' thanks to Ponseti treatment in Sierra Leone. It really is a great article and we urge you all to take a look here.
Thanks Jana and congratulations on this great opportunity to raise awareness on behalf of MoI and children born with clubfoot.

Q: How do i fetch data from the backend to the frontend? I have this get API in my server side (Node JS):
app.get("/todos", async(req, res)=>{
    try {
        const allTodos = await pool.query("select * from todo;");
        res.json(allTodos.rows);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err.message);
    }
    })

And of course it works when i tried it with Postman!
And here i have my ListTodo.js in my client side (React JS) in which i try to fetch data in it and display it in a table:
import React, { Fragment, useState, useEffect } from "react";

const ListTodo = () =>{

const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]);

const getTodos = async() => {
    try {
        const response = await fetch("http://localhost:5000/todos")
        const jsonData = await response.json();
        setTodos(jsonData)
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err.message);
    }
}

useEffect = (()=> {
    getTodos();
}, []);

console.log(todos);
return (
    <Fragment>

    Description
    Edit
    Delete

  {todos.map(todo => (

        {todo.description}
        Edit
        Delete

  ))}

    </Fragment>
 );
 }
export default ListTodo;

So if i try to console.log(jsonData) i get 2 empty arrays.

A: It should be:
useEffect(()=> {
    getTodos();
}, []);

Instead of:
useEffect = (()=> {
    getTodos();
}, []);

You declared a new variable by accident

A: Try this and tell me what's in the console
useEffect(() => {
    fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
  .then(data => data.json())
  .then(setTodos)
  .catch(console.error);
});

A: I think your code is good but the problem is with something else, please show the output in your console.
Also, try replacing the 'http://localhost...' to 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users' and see if the fetch works.

If you are a small group shepherd-leader, this does not have to be the psalm of your group. Click HERE to see how you can become a "good shepherd," perhaps even a "great shepherd," more and more like your Chief Shepherd, the World's Greatest Small Group Leader!
Top 10 Ways to Take Your Small Group Deeper!
"The Psalm of the No-Good Shepherd" was originally published in my book, I'm a Leader … Now What? How to Guide an Effective Small Group (Standard Publishing, 2007), p. 47.
Thanks, Mason. I had a post ready for today and decided to take the day off from the blog. Didn't have the heart. I think I'll wait until Monday.
I have another question Mike, i was quite ill couple of years ago and was not able to function as a small group leader properly. Throughout that period, my wife has been doing everything alone and has not received support nor encouragement from the cell group. As a result, she has this bitterness abt them that has not been settled. We are still in the same cell group but i sense that what happened during that period is preventing her from embracing the rest of the group fully.. what do you think can be done to breakthrough this situation ?


In 1855, the Free State Hotel was constructed. On May 21st of the same year, the hotel was shot at by canon fire and a fire broke out. The hotel was subsequently rebuilt and destroyed multiple times before opening as The Eldridge Hotel in 1865. It is believed that the fifth floor, specifically room 506, are haunted as there have been experiences of doors opening and closing on their own, electrical complications, and cold spots.


Two weeks ago it was widely reported that Nollywood star actress Patience Ozokwor had abandoned Nollywood for her new found faith in Jesus Christ.
In a new interview with 'Star Tell' she opens up on her new religious life, how she met God, the retreats she holds and having to ditch wearing trousers, dreadlocks and jewellery.
Ozokwor has now come out to deny the claim that she is now a woman of the faith and has no time for Nollywood. "Yes, God told me to dress like this. He never told me to stop acting. Don't mind all those people who are lying.
They can lie on a person who is alive much more a person who is dead. I never stopped acting, my fans gave me Mama Gee, Gee for General, I love my fans and I will still be in films" she said in a recent interview.
In her interview with Star Tells two weeks ago she revealed how God spoke to her to be a voice for him all over the world.
According to the site "[Patience Ozokwor] normally organises a personal retreat for herself in the first few days of the new year, when it was time to have her 2016 retreat, she heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to fast for 21 days, she complained that she have so many projects to handle, Endorsements and movies to shoot within that period, and the Lord extended it to a 30 days fast due to her complaints.

For example, if you started with $960, you would need to end with $20,322.76 in order to "adjust" for inflation (sometimes refered to as "beating inflation").
When $960 is equivalent to $20,322.76 over time, that means that the "real value" of a single U.S. dollar decreases over time. In other words, a dollar will pay for fewer items at the store.
This effect explains how inflation erodes the value of a dollar over time. By calculating the value in 1917 dollars, the chart below shows how $960 is worth less over 104 years.

To help put this inflation into perspective, if we had invested $960 in the S&P 500 index in 1917, our investment would be nominally worth approximately $30,212,517.25 in 2021. This is a return on investment of 3,147,037.21%, with an absolute return of $30,211,557.25 on top of the original $960.
The compounding effect of inflation would account for 95.28% of returns ($28,785,348.25) during this period. This means the inflation-adjusted real return of our $960 investment is $1,426,209.00. You may also want to account for capital gains tax, which would take your real return down to around $1,212,278 for most people.
Nominal $960 $30,212,517.25 3,147,037.21%
Inflation Adjusted $960 $1,427,169.00 148,563.44%

A man and woman have been taken to hospital after a collision near to the Queen Elizabeth ll High School.
It happened on Saturday - fire crews from Peel and Kirk Michael were called to the scene, along with paramedics.
Fire crews helped paramedics by providing lighting and cutting a driver free from his vehicle.
Neither he nor a woman in a second car suffered serious injuries but were taken to hospital for checks.


While the wide over-the-air rollout of Tesla's latest Autopilot 2.0 update, which was planned for last weekend, has been delayed, some owners were still able to get it and test it on the road.
We get a look at what CEO Elon Musk described as a "smooth as silk" control algorithm.
On top of the new control improvements for Autosteer and TACC, the update also introduces automatic perpendicular parking and automatic display brightness adjustments to the vehicles equipped with second generation Autopilot hardware.
The first generation already had those features, but Tesla had to reprogram them to work on the new hardware and with their new computer vision architecture.
Under its current form, Autopilot is still geared toward highway driving and it's definitely where it performs the best, but it can still be activated on single lane roads.
Tesla Model S 90D owner Erik from Norway has been testing the last few Autopilot 2.0 updates on the same small road in an attempt to gauge improvements.
It shows only one failed attempt to stay in the lane during a turn, which is a good reminder to always stay vigilant and be ready to take control. The Autopilot system is improving fast, but it is still far from perfect.
Also, we can see that Autopilot detected cyclists quite well despite displaying them as cars on the instrument cluster. The most important thing is that it was slowing down for them. We expect that Tesla will soon introduce new renders to display them on the screen and eventually, it should even be able to pass them safely on the road.
The risk of an accident with Autopilot's cyclist detection was something that recently came up in news, but as we reported, it was mostly blown out of proportions.
Autopilot even detected someone in roller skates at some point in Erik's test drive.
After the new delay, it's not clear when Tesla plans to push to update to the entire fleet over-the-air, but we will update when we get more information.
The Autopilot is Tesla's advanced assisted driving program with features like Autosteer, Autopark, and Trafic-Aware Cruise Control (TACC).

Which areas are decent, not too populated for the above in the western cape say 100km radius of C.T?
Being relatively new here i have no idea. I see a lot of kelp around CT. Have heard melkbos is okay. Is east or west of CT better than the other etc?
Being from the E.C i had everything on my doorstep. I need to plan a little better now it seems.
Hi SBB have you tried www.sealine.co.za ?
Thanks not yet,il take a look at them.
you need to be careful when fishing here in False Bay.....the bad guys are out in full force.
This. If you go fishing, take a buddy or two with and E.D.C. especially if fishing Macassar towards Muzenberg. Most R&S fishing is along the False Bay shore, fishing for Kob etc. From Macassar all the way down to Muzenberg and beyond. If you can get to the shore near the 12 Apostles Hotel, there are very nice reef fish (Big Red Romans etc) along the shore there.
My vote goes to ultimateangling.co.za as I know the guys on the forum. They'll sort you out.
Depends very much time of year and weather conditions on the day.
Our favourite spot is at Hangklip with the (very) small rubber duck but there are awesome rock fishing spots as well especially near Maanskynbaai. Just standing looking out over Maanskynbaai immediately relaxes you.
The best surf fishing is for cob at Macassar, but as mentioned not very safe; go with at least 5 other guys who all EDC.
Up the West Coast from Cape Town to at least Melkbos I think are mostly fished out and the shoreline ecosystem destroyed by pollution.
BTW 15 October looking to be an awesome day/evening for fishing.
Thanks guys. Its a slow process but looking to start around Dec. I would like to fish away from CT and surrounds so it looks like east side of strand as far as i want to go will be a start. Believe it or not i need not catch a fish, have caught my share, but it relaxes me. I dont think i could relax around Macassar and the surrounds. Hooking something is a perk, stairing over the ocean in the hopes of hooking something is much needed soul therapy.


jIn just a few short days we will enter the season of Advent. For many of us it is a time of preparing for the meals, decorations, and gifts that fill the next month of our lives. It seems that every year the Christmas eases it's way into our stores, radios, and lives; Black Friday creeps into Wednesday, Thursday, and Monday, Santa and his elves are everywhere, making the pressure of having a "classic white Christmas" even more pertinent.
However, as Church, we know there is something much bigger coming that can only be prepared in our souls.
But how do we fight the Hallmark Christmas bonanza and prepare our hearts for the quaint coming in Bethlehem?
Advent, like Lent, is a time of penance and preparation for something BIG. While Advent is often focused on rejoicing, it is still a time of preparation of our hearts. The pillar of penance still applies in this liturgical season.
One way we can all properly prepare for Christ's coming is through the Sacrament of Confession. Usually our parishes offer an Advent penance service, which offers a time for formation and a time to receive the Sacrament of Confession. For our youth, many of whom do not receive this Sacrament regularly, this can be a wonderful opportunity for a seemingly less pressure fed Confession. Often I think there is a stigma attached to this Sacrament, we are afraid to go because we do not want to be judged baby others or the priest himself. However, going to a penance service can help relieve those fears because there are usually multiple priests present and many others who are in need of forgiveness.
Before going into Confession, going through an examination of conscience is a good step. While many penance services go through one of a group, it may be helpful to provide one for your teens so if they want they can take their time going through it. As we strive to keep "Christ"in Christmas, coming to Him in His mercy is the best first step. What a beautiful gift it s for us to help bring young people to mercy this Advent!
Lifeteen has an article about going to Confession- which also includes this VCat video!


From classic movies to the Mississippi River to a meta map of the world's transit systems.
A good transit map is like a party for your eyes, and everyone's invited. Maybe it's the intentional distortion that brings clarity to an otherwise confusing world. Maybe it's the sharp lines and fluid curves that transform a utilitarian document into a piece of wall art (or, at least, a T-shirt). Maybe it's just something cool that's not worth over-analyzing.
In any event, we find transit maps so appealing that they're worth looking at even when they don't actually depict transit systems. Here are six great transit maps — from a chart of classic movies to a meta transit map of the world's transit systems — that are likable precisely because they have little to do with transit.
This map, designed by David Honnorat, twists together 20 lines of classic cinema. A line of "universally acclaimed cinema" cuts through the center of the system, via the likes of The Godfather II, Star Wars, and Citizen Kane, as other genres from romance to gangster to animation spin off in various directions. A transit-film critic might point out that there isn't much rhyme or reason to the routes — they don't proceed chronologically, for instance — but the use of major films as hub stations is both a nice touch and a starting point for debate.
The Sierra Club recently posted a transit map of America's national parks to its Facebook page. Within a reasonably tight frame the system stretches from the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska to the Florida Everglades to the Acadia in Maine (an asterisk points out the map is "so incredibly not to scale," in the unlikely event you thought otherwise). One noteworthy flourish is a dotted line, typically reserved for subway lines under construction, used here to depict a Yellowstone-to-Yosemite corridor that's best viewed in the summer.
Several years ago Information Architects released a map of the 200 most successful 2.0 websites in the style of the Tokyo Metro. Font size is adjusted to represent the importance of certain stations — Google, Wikipedia, and YouTube appear to be the largest — and the lines are divided into subjects like News and Technology and Community. (Political Blogs are shown as commuter rail.) The designers also placed certain sites to reflect certain places in Tokyo: "Yahoo is in Ueno — a nice place, but nothing going on there."
Last year cartographer Daniel Huffman posted a full line of "river maps" at his Something About Maps blog. His idea was for people to give rivers a modern, urban portrayal so he rendered them in the style of Harry Beck's map of the London Underground system. "The result is more of an abstract network representation than you would find on most maps, but it's also a lot more fun," he writes. The maps range from the Mississippi River (shown here) to the Chesapeake Bay, and they're available for purchase, with a portion of proceeds going toward watershed protection.
We've shown you Cameron Booth's subway-inspired map of the U.S. Highway System before, but it's certainly one worth seeing again. Booth created a Beck-style map of the interstates in 2009 then made one of the U.S. Highways in 2011. His creation is meticulously crafted — Booth's hubs favor road connections over populations, for instance — and so far it's also wildly popular. "The original Interstate map was definitely a comment on America's love affair with the automobile," Booth told us. "In a way, the Interstates are our transit system."
The author Mark Ovenden, who published a comprehensive book of transit maps back in 2007 called Transit Maps of the World, brings us (via Flickr user Annie Mole) a fabulous meta transit map of the world's transit maps. The image represents rail systems that were either operating, planned, or under construction in 2008. Some of the connections are more logical than others — London and Sydney make sense on the same line, but what links Boston and Bucharest besides the "B"? — but there we go again, over-thinking something that's better just enjoyed.


My son is 2 this year. Hard to believe he isn't a little baby anymore!
He is so much fun to watch grow up!
He loves music. He would lay in his playing area grooving to songs. He still loves music and can sing the lyrics of Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle, ABCs, most of those favourite nursery rhymes.
He loves going for walks in the park.
He loves food. We introduced food at around 6.25 months old using the BLW version. He loves meat, pasta, peanut butter, apple sauce, rice, corn, peas…the list goes on. He loves his Indian food especially aloo gobi.
When he started to crawl….he crawled in his own way…army crawl. He skipped the knee crawling stage because he wanted to walk. He walked at around 10 months and was super confident in walking before his 1st birthday.
His first word was Cat. His second word was Mama. He loves talking now! He loves saying I can do it. Me hold it. Ok. No.
He was an independent baby and now he is adventurous toddler! Stay tuned for more adventures with E.

Although the administration of molecular hydrogen (H2, dihydrogen) has been recognized as an effective innovative therapeutic procedure in biomedicine, H2 cellular kinetics and utilization seems to be less understood. In particular, mitochondrial barriers might impact on H2 use in mitochondria-related diseases and conditions. Double-membrane organization of mitochondria and large membrane potential are important elements of mitochondrial stability that control the transport of the molecule into and out of the organelle. In this perspective paper, we advanced possible obstacles and advantages for H2 delivery to mitochondria.

Interview. Published January 4, 2022 January 5, 2022 .
Let's talk influence – specifically, that of the fashion world. What began as a trend-worthy phenomenon to share #OOTD pics and thrifty shopping hacks in the early insta days, has expanded into a world that highlights both the wardrobe and its wearer. We had the pleasure of diving into the reality of a top fashion creator on social, from the behind-the-scenes of working with esteemed brands (like Yves Saint Laurent… ever heard of it?) and how to get a ' big break' in the digital industry [hint, it wasn't Instagram this time around].
Read on for the darling details of how Kate Bartlett became a fashion influencer #influences:
What started your fashion influence career? What platforms you started on, how you got into the space, etc.
So I actually started a fashion blog in high school; I was 15 or 16, and it was very basic. I basically had no followers. I set up an Instagram, and I would post my outfits every day there, and that's how I realized I wanted to get into fashion more and go to school for fashion in the first place. I'm a senior at FIT now, and I love it.
I was home during quarantine, and everyone was hopping on TikTok – so I started making little fashion videos at home, and started to gain a bit of a following. When I got back to NYC, I started creating these "day in the life" TikToks, which really started to grow my audience, and then my Instagram grew from there.
What does a day in the life of a fashion influencer look like? We love the details – any apps you use, how you schedule your content, we want it all ☺
I scheduled my classes so that I'm only on campus at FIT 2 days out of the week – funny enough, I scheduled them at night for when it was dark so I can film during the day while it's still bright out! That's not something I thought about before taking on content creation full time.
I usually take my meetings, and film content inside my apartment on Monday, Thursday, Friday when I'm not on campus – and the thing that's good thing for me, is that a lot of my content (especially on TikTok) is just my life, so I don't really need to be home with a tripod filming something all day – I can go about my life, make sure that I'm recording, and then string it all together at the end.
Do you edit everything yourself?
Yes – I edited everything natively on TikTok for the longest time, and just recently started working with just a simple editing app on my phone. I edit everything on my phone! My favorite app is Splice – I have no editing experience, and it's super easy to use, so would highly recommend for new creators.
What's your favorite part about being an influencer in the fashion space?
Oh wow, so many amazing parts of it! I think getting to work with brands that I've always loved and always purchased from, is a really incredible feeling – you know, you get to do so many cool jobs from the fashion industry, all-in-one: you get to be the model, photographer, creative director, make-up artist, and the stylist – every single part of the industry is combined and it's just you. You get to do it exactly the way you want to do it, and that's why it's such a unique career path.
A challenging aspect of being a fashion influencer today?
I think that people are pretty ruthless these days – especially on TikTok. People can hide behind the no-profile picture, "user#2847" handle and no one knows who they are, so they feel like they can say whatever they want. I also have a hard time turning off – I feel like I'm working all the time! But like they say, when it's something you love, it's worth it.
Has being a fashion influencer expanded your network, or helped you connect with new people as someone who recently moved to NYC and entered the social scene?
The NYC creator scene is very different from the scene in LA – everyone that I've met is so incredible, and they all have a very specific thing that they're doing, so it doesn't feel like anyone is in competition with one another. I've made so many amazing friends through TikTok and Instagram here!
Are there any favorite brands that you've worked with in the past, or are excited to work with in the future?
I feel so blessed that I get to work with brands that I've purchased from for years – I recently did a campaign with YSL, which was so cool, definitely one of my biggest dreams.
How does the business side of being an influencer work?
It's been really interesting – as far as brands go, so many brands have latched onto TikTok for influencer marketing, whereas in the beginning of 2021, not many brands were leading with that. It's clear in their presence, their ads, and even their budget – and it's been a unique experience to grow with that. I've learned a lot, I know my worth, and I have a manager now to help with negotiations, which has been great.
It was such an unknown space for so long, and it still kind of is. Brands are trying to figure it out, and so are we – we're all growing together.
So you're represented by one of the most elite talent agencies in the game, Digital Brand Architects – how did you go about getting a manager, and at what point in your career did you recognize the value in having one?
I talked to a lot of managers throughout the time that I was figuring things out on my own with brands, and realized I really needed to get one before going into my senior year when things would get crazier between school and managing my own business. I really think it's so important if you're going to sign, to sign with someone who you know is going to be there for you for the long haul. I've talked to some potential managers who would have conversations about the next year, and then other managers would be talking about the next 5, 10 years of working together. It feels so good to know someone is invested in you long-term.
Last but not least! What advice would you give to someone who's just starting out in the influencer space/fashion sphere on social?
My best advice is that it is so important to just start, and put something out there – it's not going to perfect (at all!) and I feel like so many people are waiting for the perfect situation, the perfect outfit or whatever it is – and especially on the platforms now, you really never know what's going to catch on or what's going to go viral – so you might as well practice, keep putting out content, and don't get discouraged if the results aren't what you were expecting the first time around.

Oxyado (oxycodone HCl in generic form) is an opioid-based immediate-release oral narcotic pain-relieving drug that is prescribed for the management of acute and chronic moderate to severe pain. According to its manufacturer, it has been designed to discourage intranasal abuse, a common way drugs are used illicitly to produce an enhanced high from the opioid component frequently seen with drug abusers. This happens when users take opioid tablets and crush them so they can snort the powder directly. Other adulteration of opioids comes from mixing water with the crushed tablet powder for intravenous use.
Despite the consideration that this drug is meant to deter misuse for recreational purposes, it can still happen and, therefore, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) and comes with a warning for the enhanced risk of misuse, abuse, and addiction even at low doses.
Oxyado includes a long list of side effects when abused that include nausea, sudden drop in blood pressure, slowed or irregular breathing, seizures, and cardiac arrest – with one or any combination sometimes leading to death.
Repeated misuse of Oxyado can lead to the user's body building up a tolerance, requiring more of the drug to feel the same effects, and further jeopardizing their health plus heightening their risk for overdose. Increased tolerance leads to a dependency forming and, with that, an addiction to Oxyado.
Reliance on using Oxyado or a reluctance to discontinue its use is problematic but help to break this cycle is available. To learn more, check out the related topics provided or contact a representative at The Recovery Village to learn about options for recovery.

SEPT 10th 1850" and "S" twice on the ouside with "2" on the rear between two nipples. The left of the grip has a boxed cartouche toward the bottom and the inlet for the backstrap is hand-marked "7140".
Barrel Length: 8", Round
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a german silver blade, fixed to the barrel. The rear sight is a small "V" notch in the hammer, visible when cocked.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The grip is a one piece smooth walnut. The grip has light-moderate handling wear with thinning finish, several scattered light scuffs and compressions and several more notable compressions on the bottom. There are no chips or cracks. Overall, the grip is in about Very Good condition as Antique.
Type of Finish: Blue & Brass
Finish Originality: We see no evidence of refinishing, only normal wear and heavy cleaning. The cylinder is not original to the gun.

There is infrequent minor surface erosion, most notable around the nipples and on the front face of the cylinder. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with useable slots. The markings are generally clear with much of the detail of the naval scene gone. Overall, this revolver is in about Very Good condition as Antique.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. The barrel has no play to the frame. The cylinder locks up with little play on each of the six chambers. The trigger is crisp. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.
Our Assessment: The Colt Model 1860 Army revolver was easily the most popular army revolver on both sides of the conflict during the American Civil War. Approximately 127,000 of these revolvers were purchased for use by Union forces and several of the Confederate states had obtained a few thousand before the start of the hostilities as well. The Model 1860 Army was the successor to the Third Model Dragoon and ranks third in total number produced of the various models of percussion Colt handguns. This revolver was made in 1861 and almost certainly saw use in the Civil War. All serialized parts are matching except for the cylinder. After the war, it was not uncommon for revolvers to be re-arsenaled and have parts mixed with other guns, though this could have been done after the gun entered civilian hands. If stil in inventory, this revolver would likely have also seen use in the Indian Wars. The revolver is in about Very Good condition as Antique with a decent bore for a 150 year-old black powder revolver, and surprisingly strong mechanics. This revolver represents an important piece of history, and we only wish it could tell us its story. Please see our pictures and good luck!

When you arrive in the Muswellbrook area, you are struck by the lush Hunter River flats, so it is no wonder that land grants in the area were eagerly sought. In the early 1820's the first of the explorers and surveyors took the news back to Sydney, and one of the first to take up land there was Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Dumaresq. He turned his property, St Heliers, into one of the finest on the Hunter. He was the brother to William Dumaresq, of St Aubins, Scone, and brother-in-law to Governor Darling. He had a sizeable house built there, and established a beautiful garden, with a vineyard, and these became a show piece.
Skellator was the grant to the colony's first Chief Justice, Sir Francis Forbes, in 1825. It was later sold to the Bowman family, who built themselves a grand home there. The Forbes sons created Forbestown on part of this land - it is today's South Muswellbrook - while the Roman Catholic Church own the former residence.
Edinglassie, on the Denman Road, was taken up by George Forbes, a brother to Sir Francis - he settled there in 1824 (although it wasn't granted until 1837). The Whites came into possession of it initially when James C. White purchased it in 1838. Merton was taken up in 1825 by William Ogilvie, and it became the centre for all administration for a time, until this moved to Muswellbrook and superseded Denman (which had superseded Merton).
In 1826 Capt Samuel Wright took up the land, which was known as Bengalla, and turned it into a fine property. After his death in 1852, it was sold the following year to John Hudson Keyes, and it stayed in this family until sold to the mining consortiums in the mid 1990's. James Brindley Bettington took over the properties of Piercefield and Martindale in the late 1820's, and eventually acquired large holdings in Merriwa. Descendants of the family are still on some of the original land holdings there. Kayuga was granted to the McIntyres in 1820's, and this also remained in the family until recently.
Royal Hotel, Bridge Street Muswellbrook 1930's.
Now the National Australia Bank site.
Cruickshanks have a winery there.
The Royal Hotel, which was the first two storey building in the town, was a solid and imposing edifice of local sandstone. It was owned and run by Henry Nowland, and Governor Gipps was even reputed to have stopped there for an overnight sojourn. Henry Nowland came to own most of the town land on the north side of Muscle Creek, while the Forbes family owned that on the south side.
A Post Office was established in 1837, and in 1839, a mounted police barracks was erected, and by 1848 the town was able to boast 48 houses, a courthouse, a steam flour mill, a boiling down works, several churches, and a population of 108. In 1869 the railway arrived and the original charming railway station building is still there in Market Street. By 1870, the number of residents in Muswellbrook had increased to 1444, and it was gazetted as a town. The town received electricity in 1922 and the wife of the then Mayor, Florence Parkinson, switched on the lights for the first time.
Luscombe Chambers, opposite the post office, was for many years the only 3-storey building in the main street. It was built by an early Mayor, and now houses real-estate offices. The department stores of Campbell and Co were established all through the Upper Hunter, by Malcolm Campbell from the 1870's onwards. Now only the buildings remain - in Muswellbrook the former store (and head office) is on the south-western corner of Bridge and Brook Streets. Other interesting old buildings in Bridge Street are Loxton House, Weidman's Cottage, Eaton's Hotel and the Post Office. Atherston, Biralee, Balmoral and Kanoona are some of the attractive private homes remaining in the area, while St Albans Church of England, St Johns Presbyterian and St James Roman Catholic Church are all worth seeing.
In 1908 coal was discovered on the town common by Mr Harry Jeans. This led to the formation of the original Muswellbrook Coal Company. The huge open cut, which led to so much coal being mined in the area, can still be seen on the north eastern edge of town. Many more discoveries of coal have been made in the area since, including on the former Dumaresq land of St Helliers.
There have been several theories about the origin of the name, Muswellbrook. The most probable was that the name Muscle Brook was given to the district by the first settlers, in consequence of their finding a number of shell fish resembling muscles in the Creek.' The town was gazetted as Muscle Brook in 1833 but Muswellbrook appeared in the New South Wales government Gazette in 1838 and although it came into general usage, it was not officially approved until February, 1949.

Muswellbrook is an attractive country town, which still retains a lot of its historic buildings, and some of these can be seen by a casual visitor driving down the main street. The town is situated beside the Hunter River, and is 257 km north of Sydney. It is an expanding centre due to the employment opportunities provided by the eight coalmines in the district, and the presence of the Liddell and Bayswater Power Stations to the south. In more recent times, we have seen the development of a flourishing wine grape industry. As a consequence, the population of the shire has increased from less than 7500 in 1975, to over 18,000 in 1999. Muswellbrook continues to fulfill its role as a service centre to the dairying and agricultural activities of the surrounding areas, and also still supports a significant number of horse studs, dairies and wineries.


Autumn in Texas means music. Tons of it streaming through the major cities from late September thru late November. Yesterday afternoon I remembered Warpaint was playing South Side Music Hall and scored tickets online before my last ballet class. South Side is one of my favorite venues in Dallas. It's intimate with a capacity of 1500, and reminds me of The Parish in Austin with its wooden floors and excellent acoustics. The show began at 10:30 and for a solid hour my entire body vibrated with their reverb. The ladies were lovely. Silhouettes dreamily swaying to interweaving guitars and dissonant harmonies. The lights, the music, the movement. Is there anything better?

When out of nowhere, a wild stranger threw a smelly cloak over him while he was plowing, Elisha knew it was an invitation to join a prophet of God in his work (1 Kings 19:19-20). But how would he respond?
In today's verses, Jesus meets Simon, Andrew, James, and John as they are fishing and mending their nets. He calls out, "Come, follow me!"—and their response is like Elisha's. "At once," Mark says, they left everything behind and followed Jesus.
If I had been one of them, I probably would have needed some time to think about it and finish my work for the day before dashing off after Jesus.
How often do I miss an opportunity to follow God's leading because I am unsure or afraid of the consequences? Have you ever wondered that as well?
Lord, you invite us to follow you. If we say yes, we know we will never be the same. Help us to say yes and to bring your good news to all. Amen.
