Minya: Ancient Egyptian mummies found floating in sewage canal
By Hannah Osborne
Updated February 4, 2015 11:54 GMT
A number of Egyptian mummies dating to the Greco-Roman era have been discovered floating in sewage in a small village near Minya.
The Ministry of Antiquities said several new mummies had been discovered buried in tombs, with three of them dating to the third century, Daily News Egypt reports.
However, when police arrived at the village, they found the mummies were floating in sewage, with their condition so bad they had disintegrated.
The mummies were covered with thick layers of linen, with just a few human remains left in the wrappings.
According to the Ministry, experts believe they could have been deliberately dumped there after being discovered during illegal excavations.
Because of the strict security restrictions imposed on the villagers, they decided to get rid of the mummies in the sewage, despite their cultural heritage.
Head of the antiquities sector at the ministry, Youssef Khalifa, said: "The robbers may have resorted to dumping these sarcophagi in the irrigation canal when they felt that authorities were closing in on them, or perhaps when they were approaching a security checkpoint."
Each sarcophagus was decorated with colourful patterns and designs, but they did not bear any hieroglyphs.
They will now be passed on to curators for restoration, before being put on display at Minya's museum of artefacts.

The situation is as follows: There is only one race, and that is the HUMAN Race! A scientist or three once did a test of DNA from every people group on the planet and lo and behold discovered that there is a tiny infinitesimal percentage of one percent (1%) between the DNA of one people group and that of another.
Those of blended people groupings have what is known as "hybrid vigor"—they may somewhat less prone to genetic-caused diseases than those of same-people-group ancestry.
Sorry, folks, but the espousers of "racial purity", no matter what guise, are full of sh*t.
National Socialism has been POISONED by the politically correct garbage of LOOTERS to such an extent that mention of it makes people assume that you are anazithatwantstokillsixmillionjews.
National Socialism is a poison. If it has been poisoned it is only an extension of the socialist wars of the twentieth century at worst and the anti-socialist wars at best. Once the poison spreads to international socialism we will all be the better for it. Like all forms of socialism it cannot be tolerated in any free society where rights and responsibilities of citizenship are held sacred as our the supreme source of power the individual citizen and citizens in complete control of any government. Giving over that portion of their power is the same as sacrificing their own ability to reason and think no different than drinking a cup of Jonestown Koolaid. Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, LBJ, Clinton, Sanders or Trump makes no difference. Those who drink are no longer citizens but slaves.
National Socialism was designed by Hitler to generate PRIDE in the German people, a people that had been DEFEATED and DEMORALISED by the outcome of WW1 - a war that was stoked by the financiers as a means to greater profits.
If you want to study the issue closely and without the politically correct censure of the facts - Hitler wanted to get the Jews out of Germany at the SAME TIME AS the Jews were looking to ESTABLISH the state of Israel. When Hitler wasn't moving fast enough towards establishing a Jewish homeland, Judea DECLARED WAR against Germany.
I guess that by your 'logic' that Pitbulls, Great Danes, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, and Golden Retrievers are JUST dogs.
Maybe Pigeons, Turkeys, Grey Parrots, Bald Eagles, Vultures, Crows, Ostriches are JUST birds.
I know a genetic reseacher who loves to get blood samples from Golden Retrievers over ten years old who do NOT have cancer, because there are SO FEW of them.
His research into the Goldens' cancer proclivity appears to have some possible applications to understanding and potentially helping cure human cancers, too.
Purebreds tend to be the unhealthiest.
Let the Aryans breed themselves to extinction.
My Golden Retriever is soon to be 12 her name is Mulligan. I have been making her dog food for 3 years and she looks better then she did when she was 6. Our 2 previous Golden Retrievers lived to 13 one died of heart failure the other cancer 2 days apart.
If you need information regarding submission of samples to the lab please send an e-mail to info@BreenLab.org for further assistance.
If your Golden has never been diagnosed with cancer, Dr. Breen may ask you to have a blood sample drawn and sent to him.
Reference: Alan and Claudia Falk and our late Golden, [Shiloh June. 27, 1996 - July 30, 2012. ], who did NOT die from cancer!
To do that you should support the efforts of Europe to keep itself free from Africans and Middle-Eastern people who are moving in.
Not exactly. While I offer sympathy to the European countries suffering from the waves of immigrants, I believe that, yes, it should be THEIR efforts to manage their problems.. "We" should offer moral support but not physical support, because that impinges on their sovereign rights to "own and run their own countries."
I've observed the news over the past years and have been waiting for Euro-countries (and others around there) to wake up to the idea that there's a huge difference between immigration and "assimilation." Countries or cities where there are Police "No-Go" areas are perfect examples.
My view is that immigrants should be let into a country if they're willing to assimilate, too. If they want to bring different legal systems, languages or salute their previous Flag above that of their adopted country, I will not support them.
It looks to me as if several European countries have awakened to that difference, although I think too many people in the US have not.
As a Socratic Critical Thinker, I also am disappointed that the 'immigrant problem' isn't thought of in terms of Root Cause... WhyTF are so many people LEAVING so many countries in the first place?
Trying to solve the Immigrant Problem when they land in another country is nowhere near addressing Root Cause.
But Critical Thinking is Dead today, and that's proof.
Now that's a well put racist finish.
That would be a true statement requiring little effort. now if you were to prove Chihuahuas were not dogs you might be on to something. No logic involved. The evidence surrounds us. But objectively we keep looking to find a dog that is not a dog or a bird that is not a bird. Illogical but that is the lot of objectivist examination.
What I am implying by my comment is that there are varieties of dogs and birds and to avoid classification of them into different breeds, removes a level of comprehension that helps to give them a lifestyle catering to their unique requirements.
If you can follow the logic - White people and Black people have different temperaments and prefer different social structures. So you should allow them to have their own countries where they can live according to their preferences and not be imposed upon by the other.
My thoughts on the subject may be entirely mythic, but that's never stopped me before.
I can understand why homo sapiens' evolution is speeding up. All animals except man conform to suit their environment. Man, for the most part conforms his environment to suit himself. Simple observations shows that the more he changes his environment, the faster his evolution takes place. When primitive tribes fail to change their environment at a certain point, they stop evolving. When those same people are brought into a situation where they are forced to change their environment in order to survive, their evolution starts speeding up. This is not "nature's way" which is why humans, by and large, are outside of the traditional definition of "nature." Which is also why, when speaking of humans, environmentalists (so-called) are full of crap.
Spot on Herb...that's why the left wants us to devolve, evolving scares the hell out of them because they can't compete.
Evolution within species is not about fitness, it simply shows us that the weak will perish and your absolutely correct to point out that mankind, out of mutuality perhaps and many not so good reasons, as well, have perpetuated species, plants and some human conditions beyond what nature itself would have allowed.
Post Script: I use "environ[mental]ism this way to demonstrate the Hippocracy.
The proper abbreviation is "viro". It conserves more letters and reduces their "footprint" on the page. Now reduce their footprint on our necks.
And THAT is pure progressivism...changing our language, the definition of our words in that language so that when we engage in discussions our words would mean something different from the words of another.
That is what was meant by the confoundation of our language by the rulers of Babylon at it's fall.
And what they feared was our mutuality, our cooperation that eventually, Nothing would be impossible unto us.
An abbreviation is progressivism or the viro boot on our necks is progressivism?
Environmentalism is the chief hippocracy of our time. When people cannot sustain the downright silliness of religion they turn to the environment as their new religion, twisting and modeling the facts to conform to what they want to believe.
Your right...environ[mental]ism is the new made up religion no different than Giaia and islam...in a sense, so is progressiveism.
You are right. There is so much that is unworkable and illogical that the Progressives want to put into place that it does take a lot of faith in order to believe any of that stuff will work.
Nailed it.. The Hippos AKA Secular Progressives? so we have Dinos, Rinos, and Hippos all grouped together in one entity of non thinking cells. In whole? Parrots.
BEtter Yet... Dinos, Rinos, Hippos and Pollies. The animal kingdom may revolt or at least vomitus projectile at the gross insult.
The left wants to rule over you.
The CHOICE is between slavery and FREEDOM.
There is evidence that the rate of the fixation of mutations in the human population (ie rate of genetic change) has markedly increased since the Neolithic. In a larger population, more favorable mutations will be available to out compete the marginal mutations and become a part of the population.
A good example of this is anti-malarial mutations, most of which are (a) old and (b) not too good (lots of bad side effects). Hemoglobin S (sickle cell) and C (thalasemia) work by the half-serving (if you are half Hgb S and half normal Hgb, you are in good shape). If you have all-normal Hgb, then you die of malaria; if you have all-HgbS then you die of anemia. Duffy negative people, on the other hand, have no genetic downside...they are just immune to malaria (except maybe P vivax). So the Hemoglobin variants are being selected for-and-against simultaneously, but the Duffy variant is just being selected 'for'. If you lived in a small village in Greece, and all you had genetically available was the HgbC, then that would be better than nothing, but if you live in a large city, your best genetic choice is Duffy.
I disagree with Wm on the matter of race, though. I think that there are races, but that the answer for many people is, "My race is 'blur'." There are still many races on Earth, and just because Barack Obama is mixed race does not mean that the typical Sami or pygmy is. What we lack is the intellectual integrity to separate genuine races from non-races.
I have seen tons of evidence that has made me wonder if the human population is devolving.
Every election year, I agree!
devolving or "dissolving" Our politicians love to divide and conquer.
The State has been CORRUPTED.
What could be a discussion and debate about the strengths of various courses of action has, UNFORTUNATELY been transmuted into the 'Bread and Circuses' of politics and the WELFARE STATE.
The WELFARE STATE is merely the armored camouflage the LOOTERS have devised to OBSCURE their HEIST.
The welfare state also provides a lot of the incentive for our evolution in bad directions. 40% of all births in the US are out of wedlock because of the welfare/child support enforcement system. Those kids have no future except to loot and to breed more looters.
LOOTERS are more inclined to ACTIVELY SCHEME for their benefit at the expense of ALL.
MOOCHERS are PASSIVE, quickly grabbing WELFARE HANDOUTS, threatening to unleash violence and rioting when the HANDOUTS are slower than they are accustomed.
Our leaf-eating ancestors probably thought that of their strange children who kept killing and eating animals. I think that whether or not we are evolving or devolving right now is moot: We will be able to control what genes our offspring have and most of the detrimental alleles will be discarded.
But will we (genome) miss out on the unpredictable potentially positive changes evolution brings, e.g., telepathy?
Or will such functions be man-made by studying the genome and modifying it (as in B5)?
Yes, we will miss out on the random progress of evolution. But if you apply human ingenuity to creating better genetic arrays then we can go faster and produce more useful changes than random mutational events supply.
2. People will adopt existing positive traits, such as replacing sickle cell trait with Duffy negative. During this phase we may also reactivate some of the archaic genes that we still have but which have lost functionality - for example, we have the gene that allows us to regrow amputated limbs already in our genome...we just do not have the way to turn that gene on.
3. We will innovate genes, perhaps making a body that will not loose bone density in space. During this phase we may insert genes from other species (if we had the tendon attachment points of chimps, we would be a lot stronger without any additional muscles).
It will be an interesting future.
If we can truly fix stupid, humanity will go far.
Maybe not. I think that 'stupid' may be some sort of a Cosmic state.
That's a joke right? Fighting for who? Left wing socialist fascist statist gazillionaires?
Ask the slogan creator if you can find the right rock to look under.
And like any other slogan creator knowing them is to control them and they are oh so predictable.
Or will they be found - non existent. None of the above is always and option.
I think that it developed a little differently.
I think that the meat eaters started from animals that were opportunistic and found the insects consuming the corpse an easy meal and developed a taste for meat.
Then it was a short step from eating carcasses to chasing down living animals for food.
The bounty for the first meat-eaters, lots of food and no significant competitor was enhanced in the colder climates where vegetation was more difficult to hunt down, especially over winter.
Interesting theory. I will keep that in mind. Chimps actually hunt for meat-food, though, so that could be a point of commonality with our mutual ancestor and is also possible.
So are there many races on earth? Well there are certainly many ethnic groups. Having given up on an international race table (say ISO-1234) I searched farther and found semi-official tables of ethnic groups. Very large tables.
In perusing them I came upon Mary's Igloo. In the early 1900's there was a woman named Mary who lived on the Seward Peninsula, northeast of Nome. Because of the attraction -- she is rumored to have served good coffee or something, it became a stopping off point and a village grew up around there. They were devastated by the flu epidemic of 1918/1919 and fell into gradual decay. By 1952 the are was abandoned. But there is a recognized ethnic group based on their decedents called Mary's Igloo.
When I found that, I gave up trying to classify people according to specific groups. I will agree that there are clusters of common genetic traits but except for seriously isolated groups any attempt at classification is doomed to love.
I classify people based on ABC. Attitude yields a Behavior which yields Consequences. As I used to tell the delinquents I worked with, "If you don't like the consequences, better check your attitude."
That system of ABC may work today, where we have a civilisation that provides food for large numbers of people at little average expenditure of effort on a per capita basis.
But a population bottleneck where groups find themselves in harsh conditions, strategies for survival would tend to select for those that can master their environment and leaving the least adapted strategies to be left for dead.
The suggestion that Africans were shaped in the conditions that formed close to the Equator allowed for male promiscuity as the children could survive with their mothers being their sole support.
As the body chemistry of those promiscuous males spread through their population, the group gains these tendencies that would be encouraged by the culture.
Now for the White people that found themselves in the harsh winters of Northern Europe, those who could plan for a season of limited availability of food by deferring gratification, developing an emphasis on monogamy to increase the odds of survival for their offspring, a lighter skin to soak up the limited ultraviolet light that signals the transition between seasons. These tendencies that promote survival gain a greater representation in the genetics and the CULTURE THAT REINFORCES these tendencies.
No disagreement with your premise. Thank you. Nevertheless, we all have examples from our own lives of people in dire circumstances but with a positive attitude that led to positive behaviors that led to positive consequences.
Anybody that identifies with the ideas put forward by White civilisation will find less headwind and/or obstacles impeding their efforts to improve themselves.
I want to make the point that the culture can EITHER SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE or can wear down and diffuse such efforts until they have acquiesced to the Bullies.
That is why I point out the examination and selection of traits to imitate by the Japanese, SOUTH Koreans, Chinese and Indians, from the subcontinent, to be stronger competitors after British and American influence.
What this means is that we have populations that feel more comfortable with the DOMINANT CULTURE of an area, and populations that want to REPLACE IT with a CULTURE that suits their tendencies.
There is a THIRD group that exists, one that wants to RULE OVER all human beings.
This group is HAPPY to ENFORCE 'racial mixing' as then there is ONLY ONE DISTINCTION.
The RULING ELITE and everyone else that are considered a SLAVE CLASS.
This group that WANTS TO RULE OVER everyone is a DANGER to the FREE WILL of ALL GROUPS, however they want to DEFINE THEMSELVES.
There are many distinct populations - distinct culturally, linguistically and genetically: Basque, Sami, pygmy (to name just a few). What you are saying is essentially, "Because there are mongrels there cannot be purebred dogs." Because there is Mary's Igloo does not mean that there are not populations with distinct traits. We can call these populations 'races' if we wish.
Why no? The irrational have changed all the other definitions to suit their mood of the moment.
There certainly can be purebred dogs -- and the relative speed at which a new breed of dogs can be created certainly argues for a rapid ability for genetic variations to occur.
However, maintaining pure breeds of dogs takes careful management, attention to breeding charts and so on. One can get back to 'generic' dog pretty quickly.
Distinct populations can be managed by isolation, or culture, but in a way, classifying them by race is only useful when they interact at which point the margins start being fuzzy.
We can call these populations 'races' if we wish, but I think that it will imply a more definitive distinction than reality supports.
But it is a useful distinction. This is why I advocate having several 'base genomes' for reference when we develop a genetics module rather than just one. If you have a person who is of Asian extraction, there is a higher probability that they will have the M blood antigen, for example; if the individual is of European origin (note that I do not say 'lives in Europe') then he is probably N and not M.
The problem with a base genome is that in the areas with advanced medical care the blur in racial identity is growing. You have to rely, for the most part, on self-identification and we get back to what race is Barack Obama? What allelle's does he actually have.
There will be a very small technical window between the point when we have the ability to utilize genomic information and the ability to simply scan the actual person and know on a routine basis. When you enter the sickbay of the starship Enterprise you get a gene scan the same way we do a CBC. Except this is going to happen in the next few years, not hundreds of years from now.
There are billions of people on Earth who have discrete racial identities - Chinese and Indian subcontinent. One need not rely on self-identity; one can perform matching of key genes. Then, from that, you can develop a probability of other nearby genes being of a particular character, even though they were not actually tested.
One of my favorite commercials for Microsoft cloud says "it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome. With the Microsoft Cloud, we can analyze a hundred per day".
Even in fairly concentrated groups, the ability to determine someone's genetic components by looking at them or saying "most people in this region carry this gene" is not sufficient when easy analysis and certainty is at hand.
But it is not. We are not analyzing whole genomes - which usually amount to just the exome anyway. We are still just analyzing a handful of snips.
Still, if you do like 23 and me and pick the 1,000,000 most interesting snips you will do far better than simply looking at someone's 'race'.
The cost and time to process a chip will continue to go down and as we identify more snps of interest we will create new chips.
If knowing that someone carries a specific gene is important for someone's treatment, we are going to test for it not say that since we think he's Basque he probably has it.
If cost is an issue, we will say, "This person has genes R12 and GPS456 so he has a 70% probability that he will also have M78, which causes people to explode when they drink coffee. We will now specifically order a M78 to see if he has it." This way, the insurance will pay for the test for the M28 SNP.
Well, that's the payment anomaly. The FDA and the insurance industry has a hard time wrapping their brains around a single chip scan for 1,000,000 SNPs costing about the same as the M28 SNP to perform.
The payment was an aside: My main point is that whole genome - or even whole exome - scans are not being done and will not routinely be done for a while yet. Software that can pinpoint 'the most probably detrimental alleles' from a set of SNPs will still be valuable.
Logically, because some of the races are bogus does not mean that they all are.
There is in fact one for our species. Human Race or Terran. The rest is momentary nonsense.
Can you prove that? Or do you just state it?
Have you noticed or found more than one human race? I haven't I keep looking but I still haven't found another one. All over the world ....but objectively I keep looking. What have you found?
Absolutely. There are many distinct genetic populations in the world. We call these 'races'.
How do you define 'race'?
"There is evidence that the rate of the fixation of mutations in the human population (ie rate of genetic change) has markedly increased since the Neolithic."
I am sooo glad you asked. I did not want to weigh down my prior email with additional info unless/until someone expressed interest.
Refresh my mind. How many years since neolithic and what is 'markedly fixated?"
Well, the Neolithic ended somewhere between 4500 and 2500 B.C. - as for the second half of that question, I was quoting someone else.
Which amount is larger. People currently alive or total of people previously alive?
When humans first began to care for and extend the lives of our less robust compatriots, continuation of the species was no longer "survival of the fittest." The more sophisticated our medical technology has become, the persistence of detrimental genetic characteristics has naturally increased. My father, who was somewhat Will Rogers-like in his humor, summarized the condition in one sentence: "The culls are breeding."
We're just entering the era of promise for genetic engineering, which offers the solution of gene therapies that could possibly eradicate the more unpleasant inherited conditions. The hazard in a rush to fix things is the distinct possibility of unintended consequences. We don't completely understand the human genome, so we may be blundering into creating more problems than we fix.
Hopefully, sanity and caution will be the guide for genetic tinkering, but humans aren't always careful.
Humans can be downright stupid at times. More so than animals. It's a matter of the higher they climb the further they can fall.
And still find time to parrot on the way down. 'How could the government let this happen?"
It's more like, "When I voted for it, I didn't mean for this to happen."
When I worked at Kawasaki Robotics, the treasurer said to me one day that "international people" are the same, and they are different from the people back home.
When I was learning to fly, I was at my in-laws for a party. I asked the guy from across the road if he was a pilot. He looked like one to me. He was visibly taken aback, as was at least one of the guys standing there. He said that he flew helicopters in Vietnam. The other neighbor who was surprised that I would ask an out-of-the-blue question like that said, "I didn't know that." NASA was surprised to discover that test pilots tend to have female children.
Just sayin'... "race" is not what you think it is.
From experience of the "Service Brat" (Army, Navy, etc.) subset of "international people," here's a second to "they are different from the people back home." Also, the Experimental Aviation gathering at Oshkosh, WI has the air of a family reunion -- despite being half a million strangers from around the world. As to whether it's nature or nature . . .
It also speaks to the vitality of the city versus the countryside. Strangers come together in the city, each from some different social context. In the city, they build a new culture. But, to me, not being much a traveler, if you can live in New York, you can live in Tokyo or London.
"Civilized" and "urbane" have deep meaning.
Of course you can identify other people who can fly. You all have wings.
Can you please offer anything about race? Even if it may prove to be incomplete.
What you have added to the above conversation has NOT given me anything that could add to OR cause me to revise my thinking on the subject.
What is your thinking on the subject and has it progressed to a belief stage?
I have found a bunch of ideas that I have adopted as my current benchmark on the line of inquiry. I am always looking for more data that can disprove my current position.
I am realising that African-American people are ALLOWED to be PROUD of their HERITAGE.
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans are ALLOWED to be PROUD of their HERITAGE. The tribes that existed prior to the arrival of White people in North America are ALLOWED to be PROUD of their HERITAGE.
White people are DENIED the OPTION of BEING PROUD of their HERITAGE and the ALMOST UNILATERAL CONSTRUCTION of ADVANCED CIVILISATION and TECHNOLOGY.
To quote Ayn Rand....Whose going to stop me? If you are correct and I despise the racist term white along with all the others they have individually or as member of the wimp generation become humanoids not terrans..
Recent 'discoveries' in the DNA of Neanderthal and Dinosovans that are also found in DNA of Europeans and Western Asians, but not Africans, along with others not yet identified in the paleontological record but noted in modern DNA is revealing a new story of our recent (assumed evolutionary time scale) genetic history and the realities of 'race' that the social 'sciences' would rather not have discussed. The PC of the sciences will take a long time to be eliminated from the proper findings of science fact.
As the author infers, we have to be willing to objectively collect and analyze data or the "world" stays flat. Is there a "race" of subjective "scientists" impeding that process?
We may individually differ, but we often share our cultural / racial bias, as a means to discern friend from foe.
My concern is with "predators" who hide among the innocent, and mislead the victims into plural hatred and fear.
Tolerance of predators is unmerciful to their next victim - though they may share our cultural / racial bias.
It's always a struggle when accepted knowledge is proved wrong, or different. Also, I believe recent DNA studies are pointing to the probability that Neaderthalis Erectus was just as intelligent as Cro-Magnon. Why one succeeded and the other didn't is yet to be explained, since it appears that Neaderthal was stronger and more robust.
I would argue that there is no such thing as race. We spend a lot of time talking about it, our society frequently makes decisions upon race as do many governments, so it certainly seems as if it exists.
I used to think it did. I was uncomfortable adding a 'race' field to our laboratory software but under pressure from a number of places, most notably Malaysia, I decided I wanted to add a standard table. That's when I ran into my first problem. Their table of races is entirely different than ours. Ours comes from the Office of management and budget and includes Hispanic, which no one thinks is a race. My search for some internationally agreed upon table failed. We don't agree on what races exist.
So picking a table at random, say our OMB one, what race is an individual? What race is Barack Obama? There is no reliable way of determining what race someone is and they fall back on "self declared" -- and we have Elizabeth Warren self declaring as American Indian and Barack Obama as black.
Now there are medical differences between 'races' whatever they are, we have different calculations for eGFR on white and African Americans, even those who don't live in America I guess. But we are simply using these vague terms to determine the existence of the underlying allels that are present. So, which table IS appropriate for Barack Obama?
Everyone knows that there are races, they just have different ones in mind. Race is a political construct as a gross approximation of genetic composition -- and with travel and intermarriage becoming more meaningless all the time.
Race is meaningless in my life and I would guess it plays very little importance in most folks lives.
Although it is critical for civil rights activists.
They love racial tension and create hateful racism to perpetuate and create more power for themselves.
In the last 8 years it seems to have received an adrenalin shot.
It is a sham and a shame.
Not often I give shipley a thumbs up. In this subject area I could do no less without sacrificing my own moral standards.
and ditto for stating the obvious to 'some' It's a political even perhaps a religious concept. The false premise stated for all to see.
I'll agree that the "races" don't exist in the meaning of having objective biological definitions or attributes. But there are certainly social in- and out-groups, and some of them are called "races", and they are sometimes used as excuses for behavior that discriminates, both by members and non-members of each group. I see no difference between these and any other potential "family", club, or community except in how we each choose to treat people in them.
Not all of these behaviors are irrational. Sometimes appearance is a good predictor of behavior.
Now you are waffling. It ill suits you and Mr. Shipley has given you the answer as has Ayn Rand. Check your premises and use proper definitions not those changed every minute or two.
State your original idea in this manner it will have more traction. There is one race and several humanoid version who refuse to be categorized so narrowly. that is a start point worthy of your efforts to date. How many humanoid races have been fabricated?
I you never get a zero you aren't debating.
Makes not much difference to you?
So you look at Haiti and think that maybe they could have created the computer that you are accessing the Gulch on?
Actually you are the one looking at Haiti and stating a position. Prove that they couldn't.
It's not our place to do your scut work.
I am not suggesting that you do 'scut work'.
I am making a statement that I feel is easily verifiable. If you want references, ASK ME TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR THEM.
I did. You Did. It's scut.
vation, where winter never comes--why bother?!
It describes the French(White) colony thriving. When the ideas of the French Revolution arrived on the island and the Black people MASSACRED MOST OF THE WHITE POPULATION, a few managed to escape by fleeing.
In the approximately 150 years since the MASSACRE, the United States has sent THREE expeditions to rebuild the infrastructure that the BLACK POPULATION has been UNABLE TO MAINTAIN.
IQ tests have measured the intelligence of various populations. Asians scored the highest, White people weren't far behind, Hispanics scored higher than the African-American who did better than the African.
The AVERAGE White scored 1 standard deviation above the AVERAGE African-American, which is 15 IQ points of difference. The AVERAGE African scored 2 standard deviations below.
As you may be AWARE, the AVERAGE of a group can suggest correlations but further observation is necessary. A COMPARISON of Bell-Curves can reveal more details on how the population compares apples with apples. There can be White people who have intelligence lower than the Black average(a tiny minority), just as there are some Black people who have an intelligence higher than the White average(again, a tiny minority, but they exist).
It is noted that the more White Grandparents a person with African-American ancestry is, the closer they perform to the White average.
THIS IS NOT TO SUGGEST INFERIORITY. The conditions under which various populations developed required DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO SURVIVAL CHALLENGES.
WHAT IT DOES IMPLY is that INTEGRATION has HARMED Black people by allowing their leadership to abandon them, in favour of the higher living conditions typically found in a majority White neighbourhood and the salaries they can earn as the TOKEN Black under Affirmative Action policies.
White people are worried by the arrival of the Blacks benefiting from the Affirmative Action policies due to fears that the undesirable Black Welfare underclass will bring higher rates of crime.
I am not a racist, but an intransigent individualist.
believing that it is certainly racist itself.
I think that 'racist' has always been a SLUR, a SIMPLE-MINDED ad hominem attack in an effort to silence people who recognise that there are groups that have different preferences and differing abilities AND members within the groups are often related.
Being an Individualist is a worthy personal character trait, most efforts seem to function better when you have support from cooperating individuals.
Robert Kiyosaki points out that business is a team sport, yet cooperation in school is regarded as cheating.
If you insist on trying to go against a team by yourself you may have a much more difficult time for getting runs on the board.
preferences or abilities are by looking at his race.

Do a search for 'Haiti'.
Or, prefer to be paranoid and always trying to second guess what their actual motives are?
Personally, I think that it is better to have open discussion.
None of the Above. You have listed none of my acceptable choices. And I know where you are coming from and where you should go back to. Under a rock.
I think Nicholas Wade is correct in the sense that what is happening in anthropological genetics. In some recent articles I have read it's looking like there were more hominid species interacting with one another in prehistoric times. Researchers have already found Neanderthal genes in people waking around today. There is an hypothsis that some of the junk genes are the remaments of other hominids. So, what makes up the modern human is more complex.
A few months back I had my genetic ancestry done and found out not only confirmed what I beieved that part of my ancestry (Slavic) was but the Germanic side (Dutch) surprised me. So, far as I'm concerned there is a genetic predisposition for the human potential. Than the human population as a whole are so varied that if there is an evolutionary accelleration happening it is not homogenious.If that is happening Western culture will fracture into many new species of humans.
Interesting, and there is no doubt that all life seems to evolve over time for SOME reason. Not sure what it is, and maybe someday we will figure it out. Doubtful its some sort of mythical all knowing and all powerful and all controlling creature tht suposedly inhabits space somewhere- and is something that we should pay attention to.
It is enough to say there is something all powerful. Having said that you have no right to question or attempt to explain or find who, what, where, when & why. You have already abdicated your ability to think and reason, If the All Powerful wanted you to know he/she/it would have made it part of the syllabus.Since this didn't happen for you it follows that being All Powerful you are not to know." Unless your All Powerful has clay feet.
Does anyone in the Gulch know the meanings of 'dysgenics' and 'eugenics' and their significance?
Dysgenics is the hazard of civilisation - protection of the 'unfit', the perpetuation of genetic combinations that impair health and reduce contributions to the group for survival scenarios.
Eugenics is the science, much maligned, of promoting the better quality genetic combinations.
Simplified, the small or non-existent families of productive individuals, VERSUS the larger families of welfare recipients. This leads over time to decreasing numbers of productive individuals to the detriment of the proliferation of the masses.
and in National Socialism the decision is the province of a few as to what characterizes those who should be killed off. Failing to obey the uber fuhrer chief among them. Under Adolf Hitler even Hitler did not qualify.
YOU should really read the literature of the National Socialists, that way you can DETERMINE FOR YOURSELF what their ACTUAL IDEAS were and JUDGE THEM BY THEIR OWN WRITING.
I don't know if you are AWARE that the VICTORS OFTEN REWRITE HISTORY to ENHANCE and JUSTIFY themselves to history.
I think that they were more inclined to stop those that were REGARDED AS 'deficient' from breeding, not allowing undesirable attributes to pollute the gene pool.
I think that the undesirables were segregated from the population, not killed.
You should learn to read....Seig me No Heils Comrade I do not serve your party. Nor that of Clinton, Trump or Sanders.


In the Group M introduction to autism, Helen is one of 4 autistic individuals sharing personal insights on being autistic.
In the Group M questions about life on the spectrum, Helen is one of 4 autistic individuals sharing additional insights about being autistic.
In the Group M work on the spectrum, Helen is one of 4 autistic individuals sharing insights about being autistic in the workplace.
At the Game Changers Summit, hosted in the House of Commons, Helen highlights that the Neurodivergent are not difficult. They are different. They are to be valued. This change in perspective can help the world benefit from the power of neurodivergent thinking.
I ask why are so many Neurodivergent people battling unnecessarily, when we have the ability to embrace Neurodiversity and change things. When will this change, so we don't need to face unneccesary battles any longer.


Google had just make backing up and syncing all your files a lot easier and less complicated. They had just declared another new form of Backup and Sync device that can help ordinary clients move their documents and photographs from their PC to a remote access directory.
The newly launched backup and sync are very similar to what Google product that are already in the market such as Google Drive and Google Photos.What make it difference is instead of moving and backing each individual file when using Google Drive, this new backup and sync are able to backup the entire folder just by using this app alone. You can now save a lot of time and effort in order to backup your desktop folder, or any folder works or even photos folder in your computer or laptop.
However, this tool are only available after 28 June 2017, Google says that Backup and Sync is basically expected for uses or consumer like you or me. While the G Suite is cater for MAC consumers that had a different type of operating system. Either way, both can enjoy the flexibility and easiness of this new backup and sync.
From my point of view, if you are a frequent traveler, this might just be the great tool that you had been looking for. On the down side, Google only offer 15GB free space for it. The free space will be taken up very quickly if you backup a lot of photos especially in high resolution. But if it's only for working files and document, then you are good to go with the 15GB available.
Of course you can always pay for their service as what it always do. The extra storage starting from $2/mo for 100GB and all the way up to $100/mo for 10TB.
My suggestion is if you do not intend to pay after using up the available cap, do not start with them. There's always a better choice and alternative. Save yourselves all the hassle to moving all the files that you'd already backup later on.

Space Segment
The satellite portion of the complete GPS system.
Speed Over Ground (SOG)
The actual speed the GPS unit is moving over the ground. This may differ from airspeed or nautical speed due to such things as head winds or sea conditions. For example, a plane that is going 120 knots into a 10-knot head wind will have a SOG of 110 knots.
The received GPS signal is wide bandwidth and low power. The L-band signal is modulated with a pseudo-random noise code to spread the signal energy over a much wider bandwidth than the signal information bandwidth. This provides the ability to receive all satellites unambiguously and to give some resistance to noise and multipath.

Fixes the GPS receiver's map display so the current track heading is at the top of the screen.
Track (TRK)
Your current direction of travel relative to a ground position (same as Course Over Ground).
A device, much like a microphone, that converts input energy of one form into output energy of another. Fishfinders separate and enhance the information received from a transducer to show underwater objects.
A method of determining the location of an unknown point, as in GPS navigation, by using the laws of plane trigonometry.
See Track.
See Turn.
The lowest region of the atmosphere between the surface of the earth and the tropopause, characterized by decreasing temperature with increasing altitude. GPS signals travel through the troposphere (and other atmospheric layers).
The direction of the north pole from your current position. Magnetic compasses indicate north differently due to the variation between true north and magnetic north. A GPS receiver can display headings referenced to true north or magnetic north.
TTFF
See Time To First Fix.
Turn (TRN)
The degrees which must be added to or subtracted from the current heading to reach the course to the intended waypoint.
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
A nearly worldwide coordinate projection system using north and east distance measurements from reference point(s). UTM is the primary coordinate system used on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps.
A transmission path by which radio or other signals are sent from the ground to an aircraft or a communications satellite.
The way in which information is exchanged between the GPS receiver and the user. This takes place through the screen display and buttons on the unit.
User Segment
The segment of the complete GPS system that includes the GPS receiver and operator.
See Coordinated Universal Time.
See Universal Transverse Mercator.
Velocity Made Good (VMG)
The rate of closure to a destination based upon your current speed and course.
See Wide Area Augmentation System.
Most Garmin GPS units are waterproof in accordance with IEC 529 IPX7. IEC 529 is a European system of test specification standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation means the GPS case can withstand accidental immersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. An IPX8 designation is for continuous underwater use.
The distance between points of corresponding phase of two consecutive cycles of a wave.
Waypoints are locations or landmarks worth recording and storing in your GPS. These are locations you may later want to return to. They may be check points on a route or significant ground features. (e.g., camp, the truck, a fork in a trail, or a favorite fishing spot). Waypoints may be defined and stored in the unit manually by taking coordinates for the waypoint from a map or other reference. This can be done before ever leaving home. Or more usually, waypoints may be entered directly by taking a reading with the unit at the location itself, giving it a name, and then saving the point. Waypoints may also be put into the unit by referencing another waypoint already stored, giving the reference waypoint, and entering the distance and compass bearing to the new waypoint.
Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)
A system of satellites and ground stations that provide GPS signal corrections for better position accuracy. A WAAS-capable receiver can give you a position accuracy of better than three meters, 95 percent of the time. (At this time, the system is still in the development stage and is not fully operational.) WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message.
WGS-84
World Geodetic System, 1984. The primary map datum used by GPS. Secondary datums are computed as differences from the WGS 84 standard.
Y-Code
The encrypted P-Code.
XTE/XTK
See Crosstrack Error.

Knifemaker Commemorates Life-Saving Heroics with Special Blade
Edmund Davidson
The author/maker (left), Officer Wood and the knife.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Regular BLADE® readers will remember the story about the author, Edmund Davidson, on page 10 of the February 2021 issue detailing how he narrowly hung on to beat the COVID virus. It was several months before that he had learned of the heroics of Virginia police officer Corey Wood in rescuing two young girls from a most harrowing accident, an accident that could have cost them their lives if not for Officer Wood's sound thinking and quick action.
To salute Wood for his performance above and beyond the call of duty, on behalf of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, the author presented him the SAR Life Saving Medal and certificate on Aug. 6, 2020.
After the author told us of the presentation, we suggested he make a special knife for the officer, too, which the author did and which appears herein.
Following is the story of how Officer Wood saved the day for the two youngsters, and preserved for them what we all can only hope will be most rewarding futures.
The author made one of his signature integral fixed blades and presented it to Officer Wood for his heroic actions. On the right-hand side of the ricasso are the words "Corey Wood" over "June 8, 2020," the latter the date of the officer's actions. The sheath is by Don Moran. (Eric Eggly/PointSeven image)
This is the story of 1½-year-old Violet and 5½-year-old Gracie. In what seemed like a routine car ride with their mom, returning home late at night was no big deal—until the ride took an unexpected turn.
It was 12:06 a.m. June 8, 2020, when their mom's cell phone last pinged the Craigsville, Virginia, tower a mere nine miles from their destination. However, they did not arrive.
At about 4:30 that afternoon, Officer Corey Wood was returning home from an administrative day and turned on his television. The news reported that a Craigsville family was missing. At the time Corey did not know of the family, so he called the Augusta County Sheriff's Office for more information.
When he was told the family's last name, he said he knew the grandmother and that family members were good people and not prone to unusual acts. After Corey learned of the last cell phone tower ping south of North Mountain on Route 42, he took it upon himself to look for them.
He drove his police car a few miles past the last ping and started his search. He parked the car and walked a quarter mile up one side of the road looking for anything unusual, then walked back on the other side doing the same thing. Corey did this quite a few times where there was no good visibility off the road.
When he got to Augusta Springs, he parked his car and, while talking to his mother via cellphone, walked to look at an area of heavy brush.
At 7:34 p.m. he told his mom he had to go, that the sun was reflecting off something deep in heavy underbrush 20 feet below the road's surface. He noticed bark knocked off a locust tree and grass mashed down.
Without hesitation, he carefully descended into the heavy vegetation and undergrowth and discovered the missing family in their wrecked car.
Luckily the rear window had been blown out as a result of the impact, fully to pry open the damaged door, he finally had to use his issued ASP baton as a pry bar to gain access.
He found her anxious to exit the scene—but her safety latch was jammed. He worked hard to loosen it and with a great deal of effort finally got the latch to release. Corey checked Violet for physical injuries and, finding none, cradled her in his arm and proceeded to climb the steep bank to the road. That's when tragedy nearly struck.
Fatigue was sapping his strength. He slipped and fell backward in a twisting motion, landing on his back so as to protect Violet from the fall, knocking his wind out.
Taking about a minute to compose himself, he resumed his climb, this time making it to safety with the baby, where first responders awaited her arrival.
Corey said he made the descent and ascent about 15 times while assisting in the recovery of the vehicle. Tragically, the mother of the two beautiful children was not wearing her seat belt and did not survive the crash.
Life-Saving Efforts
This is a more recent image of the girls and Officer Wood. Corey holds the author's sheathed knife.
Gracie and Violet were taken to the hospital, where they were cared for and found to have suffered no physical injuries, a testament to the importance of child safety seats. Both girls had been trapped inside the car for over 18 hours, with temperatures near 90° F.
If not for Corey's instincts and dedication to preserving life, plus taking on a one-man search-and-rescue mission with no one else around, Gracie and Violet might not have survived.
It is with great pride that we, the members of the General Daniel Morgan Chapter, the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, presented Officer Corey Wood with the SAR Life Saving Medal, along with the Life Saving Certificate.

A 6-year-old girl found an Olympic gold medal in a pile of trash on the side of the road while out for a walk with her father in Atlanta.
The medal was stolen from former slalom canoeist Joe Jacobi, who won the medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, when someone broke into his car last month in Atlanta.
Chloe Smith spotted the gold medal in shrubs and trash on June 17, her mother, Charlmonique Cunningham, told ABC News today.
Cunningham described her daughter as "a very inquisitive, very spunky 6-year-old" who always picks up shiny things she comes across.
"She's always picking up stuff, always finding things," Cunningham said. "Both her and her dad always want to bring stuff home."
Cunningham said she initially thought the medal was "junk."
"Her dad instantly knew what it was. He had watched the news," she said. "He was aware that the medal had been stolen."
Cunningham said she remained skeptical but researched the medal and reached out to Jacobi via email with pictures of the recovered medal.
After confirming that the medal was his, Jacobi was "just astonished. He was speechless," she said.
Cunningham said it took a little prying for the youngster to return her precious find, but when Chloe spoke to the Olympian on the phone, she graciously decided to give it back.
Jacobi rewarded her with $500 and promised to visit her class in the fall.
He said he is incredibly thankful to Chloe and her family for finding and returning the medal.
"I've met the parents, and they're wonderful. They're great people," Jacobi told ABC News. "When you talk about character and doing the right thing, that girl has so many of the values of the Olympic Games. I think that Chloe represents and embodies all the Olympic values. In my eyes, she is an Olympian in every sense of the word."

College Radio Redux: U2 – "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (1987)
July 29, 2016 May 13, 2017 / Len
(Above: Me in the WLRA studios, sometime in the Miami Vice era.)
In yesterday's post I waxed poetic (wax on, wax off…) about college radio and my time at Lewis University's WLRA. My time in college was far from traditional. In my fourth semester at Lewis, I decided to forego my college eligibility and turn pro. (When athletes do it, we understand. When some 20-year-old punk kid does it, we pronounce that his act is not together.) It wasn't until 2004 that I returned to finish my degree, and then move on to incurring impressive student debt in the name of graduate school.
Although I only worked for WLRA for two years, they were some amazing times. Without the experience of moving from new disk jockey to program director to morning host to getting to "the show" in Joliet at WJTW, my career would not have happened. Yet I ended up leaving radio for higher education in 2012, which was really the end game of returning to school in 1999. Maybe, in a real sense, I just wanted to go back to college radio. I did exactly that when I became the faculty adviser for WCKS The Whale, the student-run station at GVSU.
In my role as adviser I get to meet a lot of students who want to try radio, and some want to try a career in it. I am all too happy to share my stories, and I do get asked about them often. One of my favorites involves my first day on the air in 1987, and my last day in full-time radio in 2012, and how they are connected through the same song.
I showed up at Lewis not really knowing anyone. I had always had an interest in radio (a story for another day) that I never did anything about until the fateful afternoon I wandered into the basement of Fitzpatrick Hall and asked for a radio show. I was placed on Saturdays at 2pm, which I thought was huge – until realizing that most of the campus went home on the weekends. In any case, I was brought in to be trained on Friday, September 4. I was shown the basics of running the board during the show of program director Stan Wysocki, who said "I need to go and make a phone call… I'll be right back." Stan was gone for 45 minutes. As the record ended, I stared at it, and realized "I need to do something here." So, I spoke, and played the next song. Training over.
That first song was "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2, off the hugely-popular Joshua Tree LP. That happy accident made it the first song I played on the air anyplace. In fact, on my first regularly-scheduled show the next day, I opened with it again for luck. I don't have a recording of the train wreck that surely was 9/4/87, but the entire show of September 5th is carefully preserved with my airchecks chronicling a career. (It is its own train wreck for other reasons. The Aerosmith/Debbie Gibson combination I mentioned yesterday happened on that show.)
Fast-forward to July 28, 2012. I was coming to the end of my string as program director of Grand Valley's WGVU-AM "Real Oldies," a station that I helped to create when Grand Rapids lost its commercial oldies outlet to poor corporate decision-making. I was leaving because a few months earlier I was asked if I would "entertain" the idea of teaching full-time as a visiting professor in the Broadcasting department at GVSU. As one administrator put it to me, "We like to have all of the players in the right positions, and your value to the university might not be sitting in a room playing records." I happily accepted the role, understanding that it effectively ended my full-time radio career after 25 years. I pre-recorded my last show, knowing that I wouldn't get through a sign-off without some emotion. I talked for a minute or two, insulted some folks, thanked others, acknowledged the sacrifices made by friends and family, and then tore into the final song I'd play. I broke format (what were they going to do, fire me?) and added a particular 1987 track to the 50s/60s/70s station. The career had come full circle.
In 2015 some students of mine asked if they could interview me for a video piece on people's favorite records. I explained that picking a favorite record for me would be like picking a favorite child, but I understood the assignment. We used the U2 song, and I told them this same story. The video project (thanks to Ellie Stiles at Kingston University in London for the link) can be seen here.
If you still haven't found what you're looking for, you'll find U2's song here.

Попробовал использовать setCoordinates(), но она видимо только для окружности. Ничего похожего для полигона так и не смог найти.
Если ли какие-нибудь способы указать массив точек на полигоне?

Der Betriebsbahnhof Speising der Wiener Linien, der stadteigenen Verkehrsgesellschaft Wiens, befindet sich in der Hetzendorfer Straße Nr. 188 im Bezirksteil Speising des 13. Bezirks, Hietzing. Die Verwaltungsgebäude und Wohngebäude des Betriebsbahnhofes  stehen unter .

Geschichte
Der Betriebsbahnhof in Speising wurde von 1912 bis 1915 nach den Plänen der Architekten Ferdinand Rakuschan, Julius Joly und Othmar Tichy erbaut. An der Einfriedung des Bahnhofs befindet sich ein Denkmal für Bedienstete, die in der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur ermordet worden sind: das Denkmal für die vom NS-Regime geköpften Hietzinger Straßenbahner.

Von 2004 bis 2014 befanden sich, nachdem in den Jahrzehnten zuvor bereits Museumsfahrzeuge hier abgestellt und für Sonderfahrten von hier aus eingesetzt worden waren, historische Straßenbahnfahrzeuge des  Verbandes der Eisenbahnfreunde (VEF) und des Wiener Tramwaymuseums im Betriebsbahnhof: Sie wurden in das Wiener Tramwaymuseum Museumsdepot Traiskirchen übersiedelt. Die Remisen wurden damit für die Stationierung von Ultra-Low-Floor-Fahrzeugen (ULF) freigemacht.

Architektur

Die dreigeschoßigen Verwaltungsgebäude zeigen sich in der Front zur Hetzendorfer Straße als große schlossartige symmetrische Anlage im Heimatstil. Die räumlich gestaffelte Fassade mit einer polygonalem Mittelfront hat stark vortretende Seitenrisalite. Am Hauptportal und an den Eingangs- und Stiegenhausachsen befindet sich an der Fassade figuraler und vegetabiler Kunststeindekor. In der straßenseitigen Grundstückseinfriedung ist ein eingeschoßiges Stöckl und ein offenes rundes Salettl integriert. In die Einfriedung wurde auch eine Gedenkstätte für Opfer des Faschismus 1938–1945 eingefügt (siehe oben).

An das Verwaltungsgebäude schließen nördlich flachgedeckte Remisenhallen an, welche teils nachträglich mit Betonkonstruktionen verstärkt wurden.

We were scrolling through some of our files and documents and we found an old copy of the newspaper Le Soir, in which René Dax talks about the experiences he gained from conversations with the late Louis Vermeijen, discussing the strict selection procedure that Louis used for selecting young birds.
Sometimes a pigeon would manage to win a top prize early in the season but after a while the bird cannot even manage to enter its box anymore. This is a clear example of a poisoned pigeon.
