This is the best kind of "weeknight dinner" recipe. It's fast, simple, and perhaps the tastiest thing in the world. It also is phenomenal because it also technically could count as a "one pot" dish. Although I'm not sure Bittman would classify it as a main course, I've always thought of it as one. Basically because it's so delicious I never want anything else.
Although Bittman technically calls for spinach with this recipe, I prefer kale. It's texture is a bit richer and it fries up wonderfully under the broiler, giving it the perfect toasted crispness to go with the chorizo and chickpeas.
Also, for this recipe, the use of Spanish chorizo is a must. Any other sausage doesn't have the rich pepperiness of the Spanish variety and the simplicity of the dish requires a bit more of a kick from the meat. If you want to up the tastiness/smokiness factor even more, I recommend adding even more paprika (and perhaps even some cayenne) to the chickpeas as they're frying in the oil. It boosts the flavor wonderfully.
Heat the broiler or grill.
Put three tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold chickpeas in one layer over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add chickpeas and sprinkle with salt and pepper and the paprika.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until chickpeas begin to brown, about 10 minutes, then add chorizo. Continue cooking for another 5 to 8 minutes or until chickpeas are crisp; use a slotted spoon to remove chickpeas and chorizo from pan and set aside.
Add the remainder of the 1/4 cup of oil to the pan; when it's hot, add spinach and sherry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook spinach over medium-low heat until very soft and the liquid has evaporated. Add chickpeas and chorizo back to the pan and toss quickly to combine; top with bread crumbs, drizzle with a bit more oil and run pan under the broiler to lightly brown the top.

Thirteen-year-old Maran Gray (above, right, with her sister Niamh) talks about life at St. Anselm Catholic School
Q: Do you like going to school?
For the most part. I like being good at things, and I'm good at school.
Q: What would you say your favourite part of the day is?
I really like math. It depends what type of math, though. We're finishing up a unit about drawing isometric shapes, which I didn't particularly enjoy. But formulas for area and volume, decimals, dividing—those I like because they just makes sense.
Q: You're on the school's W5H team (a general knowledge competition for Gr. 7 and 8). What's that like?
I tried out because I'm not involved in a lot of things, and the school doesn't have a wide variety of sports. I play baseball outside of school—if they did have a full-on baseball team I would definitely join. The W5H was just something to try.
Q: Is it fun?
It is. Practicing isn't my favourite, because it takes up my recesses. But the competition is really fun. We lost a couple rounds, so we knew we weren't going to make it to the next stage, but we knew that we should do our best. It was actually really enjoyable.
Q: Are you okay with wearing the school uniform?
I like the uniform because it's easy for me. I'm not fully engaged in social media, so it doesn't really matter. I don't follow the latest fashion trends.
Q: Are you looking forward to high school?
I'm so excited for high school. I want to go to Leaside High for a couple of reasons. I'm a Leasider, so I don't want to leave the community. All my friends are going to be there, and I can make new friends. And my dad went there, so I like that. I like carrying on the legacy.

As readers know, I live in Michigan. And our state is in one helluvan economic slump right now, due to a number of factors. Pundits continue to talk about what caused this, taking a macro view of our economic situation. I'd like to take a micro view – what unemployment and underemployment does to the individual, particularly to a man who is the head of a household.
I've been there myself – twice, actually. This first time was for about 9 months after I graduated from college in 1992. The nation was in a recession of sorts and there were no jobs (or, no professional jobs anyway) to be had in my community. The second time was during my final year of law school. I had a part-time job during that year; what I lacked was the much more important, post-graduation full-time job I was supposed to already have secured. I spent the entire year applying, seeking, priddying up my resume and getting more and more dejected as my classmates started reporting, one by one, the jobs they had landed. The best I could do was a clerking job for a local small firm, and the managing attorney wasn't interested in bringing me on full-time as an attorney, even when/if I passed the bar exam. It was a terrible year, and the physical, emotional and spiritual effects lasted well beyond that.
Now, as a number of my friends – Catholic fathers of homeschooling families – are losing their jobs, I find myself considering what it is about gainful employment that makes us tick. Why do we need so desperately to work to have a sense of self-worth? For many of us, it's largely about providing for our families. If we can't do this, we are "worth" less than those who can. And reassurances that God doesn't see us as any less don't really help. This isn't like being upset that you don't have a bigger car or that you don't earn as much as "X". No, there's something fundamental to our nature (for men, at least) missing when we can't provide and be productive at all. In one sense, who we are matters more than what we do, but working/providing IS who we are.
I know that, during my own bouts with this, there was nothing anyone could do or say to make me feel better, so I'm at a loss as to how to approach my own friends who are going through it now. Any thoughts?

Objective: To examine the use of social media within Endourology by reporting on its utilization during the 2013 World Congress of Endourology (WCE) annual meeting. Materials and Methods: Two social media platforms were analyzed for this study: Twitter (San Francisco, CA), and LinkedIn (Mountain View, CA). For Twitter, a third-party analysis service (Tweetreach, San Francisco, CA) was used to quantitatively analyze all tweets with the hashtags #WCE2013 and #WCE13 during a 7-day period surrounding the WCE. Two reviewers independently classified tweet content using a pre-defined Twitter-specific classification system. Tweet sentiment was determined using sentiment analysis software (Semantria Inc, Amherst, MA). Finally, the penetration of Twitter and LinkedIn within the WCE faculty was assessed by means of a manual search. Results: During the study period, 335 tweets had the hashtag #WCE2013 or #WCE13. Content originated from 68 users resulting in a mean of 47 tweets/day and 4.9 tweets/contributor. Conference related tweets had a reach of 38,141 unique Twitter accounts and an online exposure of 188,629 impressions. Physicians generated the majority of the content (63%), of which 55.8% were not attending the meeting. More tweets were informative (56.7%) vs. uninformative (43.3%), and 17.9% had links to an external web citation. The mean sentiment score was 0.13 (range -0.90 to 1.80); 13.1%, 57.0% and 29.9% of tweets were negative, neutral and positive in sentiment, respectively. Of 302 WCE meeting faculty, 150 (49.7%) had registered LinkedIn accounts while only 52 (17.2%) had Twitter accounts, and only 19.2% tweeted during the meeting. Conclusions: Despite a relatively low number of Twitter users, tweeting about the WCE meeting dramatically increased its online exposure with dissemination of content that was mostly informative including engagement with physicians not attending the conference. While half of faculty at WCE 2013 had LinkedIn accounts, their social media footprint in Twitter was limited.

Dogs, as well as humans, can suffer from depression. They can be very happy and joyful friends, but that doesn't mean they can't get bouts of depression from time to time. However, since their brains work differently, their depression is not the complex mental illness it is in humans.
It is very important for you, as their human, to be aware of any changes in behavior. Unlike us, they can't tell you what's wrong. It's up to you to find out what's going on and why your dog might be feeling this way.
There are some possible causes of depression in dogs, and, in most cases, they show similar symptoms and changes.
When dogs get depressed, they usually change their eating habits. Commonly, they start eating less or they can even stop eating at all. On the contrary, some dogs can also start eating compulsively because food and the way it tastes can give them a sort of comfort. If you ever see a change in your dog's appetite, he might be suffering from depression or even another condition. Also, it's important to keep track of your dog's weight; abnormal fluctuations in it can be a good indicator.
In general, dogs are not like most cats when it comes to physical contact. They love and enjoy playing and interacting with you. Hiding, acting scared or avoiding contact can be another sign of depression.
Licking and biting their paws is a very common sign of depression. Dogs tend to do it when they are depressed to soothe themselves, and it becomes an anxious response.
Biting more than usual can also be a red flag.
Usually, the first thing you experience when coming home after a long day at work or school is your pup throwing itself at you with joy.
But, one day, you get home and your dog barely reacts. You check on him and he is sleeping or just doesn't want to get up. At first, this could mean nothing, but it is a clear sign that there is something wrong with your furry companion.
This is one of the main causes of depression in dogs. Dogs are as sensitive as, if not more than, humans and they also grieve and go through mourning periods. Losing their human or animal companions, a close family member or a close neighbor, can psychologically affect your them.
According to Kathi O'Malley, dog behavior consultant, loss "is one of the most common reasons for depressive behavior in dogs, and is very difficult to deal with because the source is irreplaceable".
Dogs can get depressed after losing another pet in the house (even if it was a different species). And adding a new dog or cat right away is not always the best idea. Some dogs might cheer up at having new company, but others will get even more depressed.
It is important to think twice before getting another dog or adding a cat to the family. Dogs are extremely sensitive and, as we dog owners know, can be very jealous. A new pet might get all the attention, specially if it is a cute and chubby puppy. Even though you don't mean for it to happen, your dog might start becoming depressed due to lack of attention and a little bit of jealousy. Likewise, a new baby can take attention away from your dog, which will probably make him a little blue.
Work schedules are demanding. If you work from 9 to 5, and if there is no one to look after your dog, it is very likely that your 4-legged friend will start becoming depressed. Maybe, when you get back home, you will find your apartment tore to pieces and all chewed up. This is a clear sign of depression and anxiety. If you don't have a "dog friendly" office where you can bring your companion, try signing your loyal friend up for a daycare close to home at least three days a week. Your dog will get the attention he needs, use up all that energy, make friends, and it will definitely save you money on new furniture.
As we saw above, drastic changes are never easy for dogs. They are very territorial animals and a new home can trigger some depression symptoms. While getting used to the new home, you need to make this transition as smooth as possible.
For example, keep your daily dog-routine. If you are used to waking up at seven in the morning to go for a walk with your dog, keep doing that. And it's just as important that don't forget his favorites! His favorite toy, blanket, bed, or treats will make this transition easier. The smell of something familiar in the new environment can make him feel "at home". This process takes time. So be patient with your dog, he or she will be thankful and less stressed.
Furthermore, signs of depression can be the only way for your dog to tell you there's something else wrong.
If you your dog starts showing any of the signs that we previously listed, it's better to rule out any physical health problems first. As soon as you notice the first signs of depression, take your dog to the veterinarian.
If the issue was physical, it is very likely that, after proper treatment, your dog will slowly regain his energy and depression signs will disappear. If your veterinarian rules out any physical problem, then you better start looking for emotional reasons why your dog's behavior and habits are changing.
The reason is not always something directly related to your dog. Ever notice how your dog mimics your expressions? If you are sick, angry or sad, your dog might start responding to that in a similar way. Dogs are very receptive animals and they can pick up on your mood.
If you're angry, they get scared and cower. If you're sad, they might also get sad; if you're sick, they might lie in bed with you all day.
And if you're depressed… Well, you know where this is going.
As depression and anxiety in pets get more attention, there is a growing tendency of pet owners and veterinarians using antidepressants, such as Prozac, as a treatment for dogs and cats.
For instance, a 2017 national survey from Packaged Facts states that "8 percent of dog owners and 6 percent of cat owners gave medications to their pets for anxiety, calming or mood purposes within the previous 12 months". That is a lot of medicated dogs and cats, taking into account that 60 million American households own dogs and 47 million, cats.
However, as it happens in humans, antidepressants like Prozac have side effects that can deeply affect the daily routine and health of your dog. Some of these side effects are loss of appetite, lack of energy, aggressive behavior, vomiting, seizures, itching and diarrhea, especially in dogs. If the dose is too high, your dog can even suffer from panting.
So, why put you dog through that? Isn't there any other way?
Cannabis is a growing tendency when it comes to the treatment for anxiety and depression in our furry pals.
"Terpenes and terpenoids exert strong biological effects by themselves, but have been found to interact synergistically with phytocannabinoids in the treatment of pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, addiction, epilepsy, cancer, fungal and bacterial infections".
A study involving 60 dugs was conducted in Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. Dogs suffering from osteoarthritis experienced a decrease in pain and increase in activity "after being given 2mg of CBD oil twice daily". Blake Armstrong, owner of Cannabis for Pets, reviews some testimonies of owners who have used cannabis to treat anxiety and depression with great results.
Nevertheless, the Veterinary Medical Association states that further research is needed to fully understand how cannabis can be a treatment for several conditions in animals. As always, we do recommend that you check with your vet before giving CBD, or any other drug, to your dog, cat or other animals.
But, most importantly, always remember that dogs are social animals, and sometimes, affection and attention is all they need. They get very lonely and sometimes don't know when or if you'll be back to get them.

Plasma-light Entity Appears at Peru
Genrikh Silanov: The Photographs of an Invisible Reality
http://brazilweirdnews.blogspot.com.br/2012/07/the-photographs-of-invisible-reality.html
PERU. Two o'clock in the morning. The young Luis Miguel Chumbe Gómez (14 years) and his uncle, Daniel Chota Tamani (30 years) arrived at home, located in the Favela April's 9 - district of San Juan Bautista - Iquitos, Loreto region, Maynas province (northeast of the country, in the Peruvian Amazon).
Before entering, one of them stopped to urinate in the garden. Then, they saw in the sky a strange light that changed shape and size, moving at different angles. (It's not an UFO but, an Intelligent Being Unidentified - an.... IBU?...)
Speechless and even feeling very scared, the youth registered a video and got make some photos of the luminous formation, using the camera of your mobile phone. Gómez tells:
It was something out of the ordinary. Scared me a lot when I saw the light moving in all directions and changing its shape and size ... Then, I have called my mother ... and she was also surprised with that vision.
According to the newspaper, Diario La Region, indeed, the images are clearly in the registry of the phone and show a metamorphic light wandering, keeping itself, however, the default of a ovoid line, an elongated form.
Daniel Chota Tamani (pictured above) said these "signs" always appear at these neighborhoods and is the second time he has knowledge of a luminous apparition nearby ... It was not a UFO or something ... was a strange body, weird form, something out of the ordinary ...

Nandana, 9 years: Autism, Savantism & Telepathy
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. In the city of Sharjah (the seat of government of the emirate of the same name), Nandana Unnikrishnan, a girl of Indian origin, nine years old (in 2013), Autistic and that also is carrier the Savant Syndrome * - caught the attention of medical experts from around the world when at the end of March (2013), a report in the Khaleej Times revealed his telepathic ability. Nandana Unnikrishnan can undoubtedly read the mind of his mother.
* People with savant syndrome have extraordinary abilities, but they have serious mental disabilities too, including autistic disorder.
The extraordinary skill of the girl appeared two years ago (in 2011). The girl began to manifest a kind of pre-science (prior knowledge) of what his mother was thinking or - even - about to say or do. At first, the parents considered that - the many times in which the girl anticipated the words and gestures mother - were mere coincidence.
Nandana's mother, Sandhya, tells: She can feel my emotions and read my thoughts ... She comes to me and says the name of the food I am thinking to prepare. If me and my husband we decided to take her somewhere she anticipates and reacts accordingly.
Nandana was diagnosed autistic when he was a year and a half old. More specifically it has a disorder of autistic spectrum (ASD), syndrome of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
On the other hand, the Savant Syndrome, found in about one in 10 people with autism is a mental disorder whose carriers have great intellectual ability coupled with a deficit of intelligence. Such skills are always linked to an extraordinary memory.
Sandhya continues: Initially, it was very difficult for me teach her the concept of some objects. I had to fight hard to make her understand what is a cup. But ... these days (after that telepathy began to manifest itself) is very more easy to her learn something. She is good at math. But sometimes I feel that when she does her homework fast, it's because I'm Thinking about it ...
Nandana has speech problems. Has much difficulty in pronouncing words clearly. So the parents took even more time to believe in the telepathic bond or link between mother and daughter. Then, in January this year (2013), Nandana learned to use the computer keyboard.
TELEPHATY & TECHNOLOGY
Sandhya explains: I taught her how to use the keyboard ... Now, if I ask her to write what I'm thinking, she can do it. Sometimes spelling errors happen and she still does not understand well the concepts of punctuation. If I say "space" (between words) in my mind, she types the word "space" instead of typing the "separation" between terms.
Sandhya Unnikrishnan does not fit the common pattern of the mother of a child with special needs. When She realized that Nandana was autistic, she began to study and did a degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis with two-years of duration is also and post-graduation in Socially Integrated Rehabilitation (Community-Based Rehabilitation) in Bangalore University, India. She is the particular teatcher of her daughter, who attends the Grade 3 in a regular school in Sharjah.
In late February the parents took Nandana for a Child Guidance Clinic (Child Guidance Clinic) where the case was examined by a team of experts including: a psychiatrist specializing ̶ Dr. Jeena Fiji (Sunny Speciality Medical Centre in Sharjah) ̶ a social assistent, an educator also dedicated to children with autism and related syndromes and also a group of nursing. All witnessed the telepathic ability of Nandana.
The newspaper Khaleej Times (DUBAI/UAE) received a copy of the certificate issued by Dr. Jeena Fiji in which the physician claims that Nandana realy has the capacity to capture the thoughts, desires and intentions of her mother.
So, Mr. Unnikrishnan, the father of the girl, made contacted, by phone, with the newspaper, just before a copy of the certificate issued by the doctor to be delivered in the newsroom.
His goal is not to expose his daughter but call the attention of scientists in order that the capacity of Nandana can, not only be explained but used for the benefit of the development of the girl in the overcoming the limitations of autism.
Despite the skepticism, the editors of the Khaleej decided to investigate and sent reporters to the residence of Unnikrishnan. The girl underwent some tests and the journalists were completely baffled by the child's performance.
Then the newspaper gathered opinions of some experts working in the areas of psychology, neurology and autism specifically to evaluated the phenomenon.
Then, they discovered that autistic children and adults, as well as carriers of Savant Syndrome (or Syndrome of Wise), in fact, possess intellectual abilities disconcerting as photographic memory, exceptional musical memory ie they are able to play a song perfectly after hear it once, do complex mathematical calculations mentally and quickly, for example.
However, no researcher has knowledge of a case similar to of Nandana: a carrier of Savant Syndrome with capacity of telepathic communication in any degree. And Nandana's father seems to have achieved his goal: scientists want to study telepathy of the girl to discover its origin, its cause ̶ and its effect on her development in the coming years.
The president of the Biological Psychiatry Section of Indian Psychiatry Society (IPS), Dr Philip John, one of the experts consulted by Khallej Times commented that the case of Nandana, her telepathy exercised exclusively on the mind of his mother (at least so far, 2013) could be a peculiar kind of genetic memory that could only be found (shared) between mother and daugther - while both are live at the same time.
Savvy Kisani, mother of an autistic teenager - who also became a teacher specializing in special children, believes that some autistic sometimes have extrasensory perceptions.
Kisani says: Although they don't can say, they can see significant things that will go to happen. My son, Krishna, behaved of very strangely manner when his grandfather (her father) was near to die. Cried loudly, ran to her grandfather's room and hit his head on the door. Then, my mother said that maybe the hour of my father had come. And it had.
IN CLINIC WITH THE EXPERTS. A poem classified as "Level 2" was awarded to the mother, Sandhya. This, did read the poem mentally and Nandana typed the whole poem, reading the mind of the mother.
Then, a paper with a six-digit number written was delivered to Sandhya. And Nandana has reproduced the number in her keyboard. Another number was given to Sandhya that, this time, was separated from the daughter in another room. And the girl reproduced the number, still proving that he can read the mind of his mother even from a distance.

The "fish-boys" of Peru
PERU. In the city of Pucallpa, (the capital of the Ucayali region, the Coronel Portillo province), three brothers - Samuel, Jesus and George (above), suffer from a rare genetic condition called ectodermia (Syndrome Christ-Siemens-Touraine or Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia) that forces them to remain in the water to prevent skin damage and even death.
One dangerous characteristic of this "anomaly" or "difference" (genetics), is that the boys do not have sweat glands (or, if or when, the carriers of this ill they have these organs - they are atrophied - they aren't functionals. They do not sweat and therefore must be kept at temperatures below 20 º C (Celsius).
In this condition, living in a region where the temperatures easily reach 30 ° C, to survive, the boys need to be wet every ten minutes.
To attend school, is required the aid of buckets of water that are placed next to each of them to maintain the body moisture which they do not produce. One of the functions of the perspiration is help the metabolism to mantain the organism fresh; maintain body temperature. (RPP, 2013)
Also, not sweating, the boys are deprived of an important agent removing toxins harmful to the body: the perspiration, the sweating.
In Pucallpa, are known as the boys-fish. Olivia Oré, mother of the children, tells: My baby cried a lot and I do not know why but, when watering her head, he slept.
The three boys of different ages, suffer from the same ailment. When will wander at earth, in free air, mother has to carry containers with water to keep them fresh. The couple (his father is Olympian Oré) have has two other daughters who do not have the anomaly, because it only is transmitted to males.
The disclosure of the case mobilized the authorities in the region, specifically the Defensoría Municipal del Niño y Adolescente (DEMUNA) of Pucallpa, that provided all support to children. The boys were taken to the country capital, Lima, where, at the Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño, may receive more appropriate care.
The representative DEMUNA reports that ... They had no identification (documents) then we provide the paperwork for them to have access to health insurance Integral. The doctors said the brothers need specialized treatment.
The American actor, Michael John Berryman (1948 ...) is carrier the Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. He developed a career in movies and television usually in horror and science fiction films, such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, The X-Files and A Cuckoo's Nest or One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975).
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Berryman]
The ectodermia produces malformations in the skin, such as fish scales and the carriers of this mutation need keep themselves in constant contact with water to survive. The main symptoms of this condition are absence of sweating, hair loss and malformations of the teeth, which are small and sharp.

Astral Crimes, Abduction of Incarnated Spirits and Necrophagy at Zimbabwe
At Zimbabwe, more than 90% of people believe their lives are more or less affected by witchcraft.
ZIMBABWE. In Mashonaland Central province (north of country), in the small town of Gleendale - just over 12 500 inhabitants in 2012 * - the population is terrified: two girls from a local school revealed to have been recruited by a sect of practitioners black magic and have participated in rituals in which, tombs are violated and exhumed corpses are used in ceremonies of necrophagy.
* http://www.tageo.com/index-e-zi-v-03-d-m3189626.htm
In February of this year [2013], the case was taken to court where they were collected the testimonies of the girls. According to the midia in Glendale (and other cities in Zimbabwe):
The two girls confirmed that the cult is formed by five adults. They were lured (or even abducted) at night by group members and were taken to participate in the practices of black magic. Were forced to drink human blood, exhuming corpses and eating their flesh.
The village chief of the farm, Theresa May Mawadza (49 years in 2013) confirmed the confessions. The two girls (who attend, one - the 5th grade and the other, the second year of Secondary, thus, they are teenagers) ... told that the sect has (at least) five adult members. They are called - at night - by elderly persons whom drove them to participate in activities of witchcraft. They are forced to drink human blood, exhume graves and eat human flesh.
In their denounces, the youths said that they hear their names being called late at night and mysteriously find themselves, realize themselves in the company of two women who claim to be witches and a man who behaves like an assistant.
Moreover, an aspect absolutely unusual, the kind that reaches the border of the supernatural involves these episodes of abduction": the adolescents, while they were being approached, being still at home, perceiving themselves stand up, continued to be seen by his parents, sleeping in their beds in that period of the alleged absence. Thus, their parents don't realized the lack of them.
[These circunstances configure a kind of unusual kidnapping: kidnapping of the astral body and perisprit - the etheric double of human that, according esoterists, can move away from the physical body during the hours of sleep].
The younger girl, admitted that the astral absences are constant and declared that she is part of the group. In fact, says that accompanies the witches by their own free will. It refers to one of the older women as "the Granny".
She tells: ... I started to see three people overnight ̶ They said "Let's eat human flesh." I wanted to sneak me out of the house and follow them. When my partners ... are about to come pick me up, I start to feel dizzy and I get sleepy. Immediately they call my name and say: "Come on."
I leave home crossing through the locked door. My mother can see me sleeping but I'm not there. They put me in front of the group and am I who drink human blood in the first place ...
When we got to the grave of our choice, I hit with a stick that I carry and the grave opens immediately. Then - we jump inside to remove the corpse out of the coffin and then eat the meat.
Our nails become strong and sharp. They seem to be knives. We eat but always we put the things in order in the grave. People never realize that the tomb was opened. (Then) ... We took a bit of meat for Gogo's house where she is put to dry.
Once, we opened a grave and smelled terrible. The meat was rotten but we eat all the meat. In majority of the times, the meat is fresh, of people who died recently. Am I who takes the remains to Gogo's house. (The nature or identity of this so called Gogo is a mistery).
The investigation continues and the naturality with which those involved claim the most absurd connections with witchcraft most primitive is, in itself, an amazing thing, a kind of anthropological living fossil a culture absurdly anachronistic.
Intimateded to testify, a man aged 61 ̶ whose name was withheld by the reportage of the My Zimbabwe ̶ despite claiming to be the only male member of the sect, claims to have no knowledge of any ritual practiced in the company of children or anyone other person.
A traditional healer, summoned to serve as a consultant in the sessions of the Court revealed that the parents of the accused had inoculated witchcrafts of evil in that man's blood (kutemerwa Nyora) during his youth.
And the witness said: I personally do not know if I am involved in witchcraft. Maybe yes, unconsciously. If the "spirit of witchcraft" can be kicked out of me, I am willing to take this forward.
According to the girls, other children are part of the group and were recruited in the same way "metaphysical." The youngest is 3 years old.

The Satyr of El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR. Identified only as Joseph, 19 years (in 2013) - living in a village (canton) remote, extremely poor, near the city of Ilobasco (Department of Cabañas) - he suffers from an abnormality in epidermal tissue that causes the rising of lumps with an appearance of bones.
Some of these formations seem horns, others - claws, thick spines but especially your hands and feet have developed themselves like misshapen hooves and sore. José became unable to walk.
It's one of those strange cases these genetic puzzles. Like the disease that gave fame, in 2008, to Dede Koswara, fisherman of Bandung. He stood known as the Tree-Man of Indonesia.
The scientific name of dysfunction or "skin disorder" is epidermodysplasia verruciformis (also called Lewandowsky-Lutz's dysplasia). It is an extremely rare, inherited and characterized by a dysregulation in the metabolism of the skin caused by a sensitivity (and subsequent reaction) to the human papillomavirus (HPV).
At worst, within the normal level, this is the virus that causes warts. Because the disease is rare, the virus is not. When contário, is very common. They are found in about 80 percent of humanity manifesting as asymptomatic infections.
The epidermodysplasia verruciformis is a mutation which "disables" the HP genes on chromosome 17 of the human code. There is no cure or effective treatment that can to control the the manifestation of the mutant gene.
All it can do is use drugs inhibitors disorder, some - actually, with positive results - as the interferons, the retinoids, able to, eventually eradicate, yes, the uncomfortable and painful excrescences.
In severe cases, when the mutant dermal formations have already taken the patient's body, the only alternative is surgery, to remove the abnormal tissue. (This was the case of the Indonesian Tree Man).
The phenomenon brings to mind the mysteries of human genetics ideal formula, the invisible intelligence of the biochemistry governing these bodies of skin, flesh, blood and bones; makes think in infinitely complex equation of logic governing the experiments, sometimes cruel of the Nature an of the Destiny.
An equation still not acessible for human Knowledge. In the case of Joseph, of El Salvador, the social drama that greatly aggravates the situation is recurrent in the world. It is evident. It's very poor people with no hope of access to necessary medical care to alleviate the suffering of the guy and his mother.

YOUTUBE, Treeman: The Surgery - Part.2
postado em 28 Novembro de 2008.
[http://youtu.be/yLsxf_Zgp_Q]
To the Tree-Man, Dede Koswara, disclosure of the case in electronic media, television and Internet, was salvation. Calling the attention of the world with pictures and testimonials, on video posted in YouTube, the indonesian obtained the assistance of a north-american dermatologist at the University of Maryland - School of Medicine in Baltimore - Anthony Gaspari (image below) - who applied medication and did the first surgery in 2008.
The dermatologist Anthony Gaspari . He saw the case in a TV documentary and stood interested. He went to Indonesia. Visited Dede Koswara the his humble residence of the patient where samples of tissue were harvested for examination, in order to establish the diagnosis and treatment line.
According diagnosis, Dede Koswara requires two surgical procedures per year as part of their treatment, the base drug is vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoic). The treatment is necessarily continuous because the disease has control, but it is costly and simply invisible oe irrelevant in its rarity bizarre for public health managers.
For the Salvadoran known only by first names - Joseph of ... El Salvador, perhaps the single path of access to the Brave World Miracle of Human Medicine is the same of Tree-Man ..
Expose himself in TV programs, blogs and other niches of mass communication, that often listed cases like this among the topics of entertainment, that there include extreme bizarre.
Then, maybe - exist a hope for José because he can be the next man ... bizarre mutant. After all, its excrescences have their own personality. José could never be the new Man-Tree. He is the man of Hooves and Horns.
Unlike the indonesian man, that already shows resourcefulness in dealing with journalists, surrounded by family - Joseph of El Salvador is a young man whose peculiar condition prejudiou and harms their development as a whole.
In the neighborhood where he lives is an aberration that causes laughter or tears of those who look him. Rejected, lives almost isolated in the hut. Only he and his mother - she, visibly tired - thinks that the case of the her son can be a work of witchcraft. Infantile in its 19 years (in 2013), it is loaded in the back by his mother because his feet have become an unviable pain and no functional.
They don't are able to touch the soil. Abandoned in their poverty and ignorance in a "nowhere" in Latin America (but ... with a celular phone!) - without the miracle of the media, without fifteen minutes of fame under the flashes of the Circus, José probably never will have a chance to be free or relieved from his damn mutation .
José, indeed, he has a good chance with the mass midia. Because there's something really mutant on the figure of José of El Salvador. In face, an expression of alienation and a devilish goatee of bones gives the man the appearance of a satyr and a slight tip of joy in the brilliance of his strange and very clear eyes, green or blue, completely unexpected in a central-american young native lost in an end of the World ... The Satyr of El Salvador.

Silent Dancer's unique staging in Salt Lake Acting Company premiere resonates with good Jazz Age sensibilities
Les Roka
In 1931, as the Great Depression's grip tightened, F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the obituary for the flimsy age of roaring confidence and youth-driven abandon that had been "jolted" out of existence when the stock market crashed in 1929. In an essay titled Echoes of the Jazz Age, he wrote, "It was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire."
He noted the "wildest" generation responsible for the Jazz Age had been "adolescent during the confusion of the War [World War I]," and which "brusquely shouldered my contemporaries out of the way and danced into the limelight. This was the generation whose girls dramatized themselves as flappers, the generation that corrupted its elders and eventually overreached itself less through lack of morals than through lack of taste."

Silent Dancer, Salt Lake Acting Company's (SLAC) latest world premiere production, does a solid job in translating this dynamic into a unique staging experience, directed by Cynthia Fleming, with script by Kathleen Cahill, choreography by Christopher Ruud and original music and sound design by Jennifer Jackson. Ruud set the choreography to be integrated seamlessly with Cahill's scripted dialogue and narrative arc, which is filled with many subtle ironic gems. At many times, the modern dance choreography excels as a striking, original element – a good example of the synergistic potential between contemporary theater and modern dance. However, there are other moments where the execution of the movement on stage feels more like conventional musical theater, which compromises the play's dramatic pacing.
Cahill sets the play in New York City during the early 1920s, the Jazz Age's most intense phase of heady youthful energy. The two main characters are brother and sister Rosie and Michael Quinn, who strive to jump onto the latest trajectory of social and economic mobility. The city is flush with local production sets for silent films and the siblings take as many opportunities to audition as actor-dancers. The aspiring yet practical-minded ingénue, Rosie (Mikki Reeve) falls in love with Perry Branfield (Darrell T. Joe), a black jazz pianist and composer. Michael (William Richardson), a veteran who has yet to cope psychologically with the horrors of the great war, always borrows money from his sister. In addition, he comes to accept his gay identity.

Adding to the tension is Jackie 'Legs' Diamond (Austin Archer), the quintessential street gangster/bootlegging character of the Prohibition Era. And, then there are the new celebrity darlings of the Jazz Age: F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (Noah Kershisnik and Alice Ryan, respectively). Rosie works as a maid for the couple.
Cahill leavens all of this with the time-resistant issues and social concerns found in every historical era of revolt, war, cultural shock and recession: immigration, sexual identity, sexual liberation, racism and civil rights. All of it feels historically appropriate and Cahill's integration of the Fitzgeralds anchors Silent Dancer's themes with satisfying effect.
Austin Archer as Jackie 'Legs' Diamond in
From 1922, Fitzgerald's second novel The Beautiful and Damned brilliantly rendered the actual scandalous stories about their marriage into fiction. It was so popular that it was immediately made into a silent film of the same name, directed by William Seiter. However, Fitzgerald disavowed the adaptation, calling it "cheap, vulgar, ill-constructed and shoddy," a point noted in Michael Ankerich's excellent 2010 book Dangerous Curves atop Hollywood Heels: The Lives, Careers and Misfortunes of 14 Hard-Luck Girls of the Silent Screen. In the later essay, Fitzgerald wrote that film producers were "timid, behind the times and banal" and he blamed, in part, censorship for the incessant "blatant superficialities" of film. The silent film projection in Silent Dancer is a significant prop. As a side note, some of Silent Dancer's best humorous moments come from scenes of the siblings' silent film auditions with Archer playing a stereotypical director.
The thematic issues Cahill raises in the script become the springboard for the choreography. Ruud, who is retiring after 21 years in an outstanding career at Ballet West, already has a distinguished reputation as a choreographer. He has received dance commissions from the Utah Arts Festival and has coordinated the festival's dance commission activities, along with being artistic director of RUUDDANCES, LLC,featuring the company performers as well as Ballet West Academy students and dancers of Ballet West's professional training division.
Alice Ryan and Noah Kershisnik as Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald in
Ruud picks the right sensations from his dance movement language to frame the movement vocabulary that dominates Silent Dancer. One of the most effective elements is the Jazz Age version of a Greek theater chorus with the four dancers in an ensemble, of which at least three have extensive modern dance training: McKenzie Barkdull, Makayla Cussen, Jorji Diaz and Savannah Roberts. The most incisive character moments of dancing include Michael's half-male, half-female drag performance, which Richardson pulls off with spot-on pathos. Alice Ryan sashays exquisitely as Zelda, who, as many already know, came from a Montgomery, Alabama family of distinguished means but she always plunged into a self-made scandalous rebellion.
Cahill nails the tensions in the couple's relationship. Ironically, in the actual details of her life, Zelda suffered a nervous breakdown in 1930 because she was frustrated about not becoming a ballet dancer. Kershisnik's demeanor as the famous novelist mimics the writer's true voice with credibility. Meanwhile, Archer brings a wonderful sleaziness in his dance moves as the bootlegger.
William Richardson as Michael Quinn in
While Rosie and Perry are polished in their dance partnering, they lack sensations of eroticism first and later guilt or fear that their relationship will be discovered and ridiculed by others. Both Reeve and Joe have extensive musical theater training but these moments lack the full emotional impact that comes with realizing the nuances of spatial relationship dimensions in how dancers move close and apart from one another. However, it is likely these elements will continue to sharpen and strengthen in subsequent performances, as the actors become more comfortable with the choreographic demands placed on them and their spatial relationships on stage. The production runs through May 12.
In general, Silent Dancer does a very good, albeit still imperfect, job at finding the nexus for dance and theater that breaks comfortably the formalities respectively in each performing arts genre. Many choreographers hesitate to use the term 'dance theater' in their bailiwick, arguing they know of no one in theater who would use the corresponding terminology of 'theater dance.' There can be fine differences in how choreographers adapt and respond to text, especially which may or may not be anchored or limited to one contextual interpretation.

However, it is evident that Ruud did relate properly to the text (both written and implied) that Cahill set in the script. He unlocked many possibilities of using dance movement language to amplify the text's narrative impact. In many instances, the voices of writer and choreographer succeeded without either risking a lapse in tone or character.
The production's visual design accentuates a Jazz Age tone effectively, thanks to Nancy Hills (costume designer), Dennis Hassan (set design), Joshua Roberts (projection design), and Michael Horejsi (lighting design).

The female breast in humans contain mammary glands that produce milk for nursing their young. The latin name for the breast is mamma, thus it is clear why we belong to the class of mammals together with many other animal species.
If you begin to analyze the etymology of the word 'mom', you'll notice that in almost every language it originates from the Latin term mamma. For now, we'll leave that to the linguists. This page will focus on the general female breast anatomy.
Key facts about the female breast
Gross arrangement: 15-20 secretory lobes separated by suspensory ligaments.
Secretory lobes: consist of lobules and tubuloalveolar glands, which produce milk in response to prolactin.
Lactiferous ducts: these secretory ducts of the lobes are formed by converging lobules and intralobular ducts.
Subareolar lymphatic plexus -> pectoral lymph nodes -> axillary lymph nodes -> subclavian lymphatic trunks (75%)
Subareolar lymphatic plexus -> parasternal lymph nodes -> bronchomediastinal lymphatic trunks (25%)
Arterial supply
Axillary artery via several branches: superior thoracic, thoracoacromial, lateral thoracic and subscapular arteries
Internal thoracic artery via the medial mammary arteries
Perforating branches of second, third and fourth intercostal arteries
Venous drainage Axillary, internal thoracic and second to fourth intercostal veins
Anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the second to sixth intercostal nerves
Fourth intercostal nerve (nipple)
Changes in the breast
The breasts are found at the anterior thoracic wall, anterior to the deep fascia and pectoral muscles; separated from them by the retromammary space. Each breast consists of mammary glands and surrounding connective tissue.
The mammary glands are modified apocrine sweat glands. They are structurally dynamic, meaning that the anatomy changes depending on a woman's age, menstrual cycle phase and reproductive status. The glands are active in adult women after childbirth (postpartum period). In this period, the pituitary hormone prolactin stimulates the glands to produce milk, while the hypothalamic hormone oxytocin stimulates the ejection of milk through the nipple. Outside of the postpartum period, the glands are less abundant with most of the breast tissue being filled with adipose.
Have you thought about using flashcards to learn the anatomy of the breast? Here's how you can easily make your own!
Let's now review the mammary gland histology. The gland is comprised of 15-20 secretory lobes which are separated by fibrous bands called the suspensory ligaments of the breast (of Cooper). These ligaments originate from the underlying thoracic fascia and insert to the dermis of the overlying skin, supporting the non-ptotic shape of the breasts.
The secretory lobes contain numerous lobules comprised of the tubuloalveolar glands. The secretory ducts of the lobes, called the lactiferous ducts, converge and open onto nipple. Classical anatomy textbooks mention that each lactiferous duct dilates into the lactiferous sinus before opening onto the nipple. A recent study that used ultrasounds to examine the anatomy of the female breast, showed that although there was usually an increase in duct diameter at multiple branch points, the 'typical' sac-like appearance of lactiferous sinuses under the areola was not observed.
The nipple anatomy is adjusted to support the function of the breast. They are surrounded by a pigmented circular region of skin called the areola, which becomes even more pigmented and prominent during puberty. The areola shows small punctual elevations on its surface, which are produced by the many areolar glands. These are mostly sweat and sebaceous glands, as well as the modified mammary glands called the glands of Montgomery. Their function is to produce an antimicrobial secretion that protects the surface of areola.

The lymphatic drainage of the breast is very important, especially from the aspect of pathology. This is because breast carcinomas tend to spread by travelling through the lymphatic vessels, creating metastatic deposits in distant parts of the body.
Lymph from the breast lobules, nipple and areola areas collect into the subareolar lymphatic plexus. From here, around 75% of lymph (mostly from the lateral quadrants of the breast) drains into the pectoral lymph nodes, and then into the axillary lymph nodes. Whilst the remainder drains into the parasternal lymph nodes. This is why axillary lymph nodes are the first to be surgically removed in certain stages of breast cancer. The axillary lymph nodes drain into the subclavian lymphatic trunks, which also drain the upper limbs. The parasternal nodes drain into the bronchomediastinal trunks, which also drain the thoracic organs. Besides the axillary and parasternal nodes, some drainage of the breast can occur via the intercostal lymph nodes which are located around the heads and necks of the ribs. The intercostal lymph nodes drain either into the thoracic lymph duct or the bronchomediastinal lymph trunks.
For more information about the axillary lymph nodes and everything concerning breast lymphatic drainage, we have some articles and videos waiting for you. Additionally, we encourage you to read a clinical case that describes breast cancer development.

Breast blood supply comes from three sources:
Branches of the axillary artery supply the lateral part of the breast. These are the superior thoracic, thoracoacromial, lateral thoracic and subscapular arteries.
Branches of the internal thoracic artery, supply the medial part of the breast as the medial mammary arteries.
Perforating branches of second, third and fourth intercostal arteries contribute to the supply of the entire breast.
Breast veins follow the mentioned arteries. They drain into the axillary, internal thoracic and second to fourth intercostal veins.

The anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the second to sixth intercostal nerves are responsible for breast innervation. Note that the nipple is supplied by the fourth intercostal nerve.

The extensive removal of the breast and adjacent tissues for carcinoma which was very common in earlier decades has now given place in many cases to local excision supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If simple mastectomy is required, the breast is stripped-off the pectoralis fascia and adjacent muscles, together with axillary fat and lymph nodes. For more radical procedures, one or both pectoral muscles can be removed as well. Also, most women with single breast cancers up to 4 cm in diameter are treated by breast conservation rather than masectomy. Furthermore, when masectomy is necessary, there are three levels of disection depending on severity.
Changes such as branching of the lactiferous duct occur in the breast tissue during menstrual periods and in pregnancy. Although mammary glands are prepared for secretion by mid-pregnancy, they do not produce milk until shortly after the baby is born. Colostrum, a creamy white to yellowish pre-milk fluid, may secrete from the nipples during the last trimester of pregnancy and during initial episodes of nursing. Colostrum is believed to be especially rich in protein, immune agents and a growth factor affecting the infant's intestines. In multiparous women, the breast often becomes large and pendulous. The breasts in elderly women are usually small because of the decrease in fat and the atrophy of glandular tissue.
Gynecomastia is swelling of the breast tissue in boys or men, caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Slight temporary enlargement of the breast is a normal occurrence with a frequency of 70% in males at puberty. Breast hypertrophy in males after puberty is relatively rare, and may be age related or drug related, for example the use of anabolic steroids.
Gynecomastia may also result from an imbalance between estrogenic and androgenic hormones or from a change in the metabolism of sex hormones by the liver. It can affect one or both breasts, sometimes unevenly. Newborns, boys going through puberty and older men may develop gynecomastia as a result of normal changes in hormone levels. Generally, gynecomastia is not a serious problem, but it can be tough to cope with the condition. Men and boys with gynecomastia sometimes have pain in their breasts and may feel embarrassed. Gynecomastia may go away on its own. If it persists, medication or surgery may help.

Timber faces China syndrome
By Rob Hosking
The beleaguered timber industry is waiting nervously for a decision from China that could decide whether radiata pine can be used in Chinese housebuilding.
China hopes to finalise its new building code before Christmas and at stake is New Zealand timber access to the world's fastest-growing economy.
The Chinese domestic retail market for building materials is estimated to grow to about $US36.14 billion  or about $NZ60 billion  by 2004. That is a 30% increase from last year.
Chinese officials have worked with the New Zealand industry and others in developing the code, Forest Industry Council executive director Stephen Jacobi said.
A delegation has visited New Zealand and the industry talked "very frankly" to the Chinese about the then-current leaky building issue.
"Our main aim is to get pinus radiata recognised. When the delegation came out here pinus radiata was not on this list of materials being considered."
If radiata pine is accepted by the Chinese, the industry will target not the traditional areas of timber framing and the like but internal woodwork  windows, doors, mouldings and fittings.
Partly this is out of necessity. Other countries, most notably the US and Canada, are also poised to increase their exports to China.
North American timber is usually culled from larger trees than New Zealand radiata pine, so different sizes can be cut.
Add that to the likelihood the Chinese will adopt the North American standard of two by four construction and those two countries would have a natural advantage, at least initially, Mr Jacobi said.
"If we were to replicate that, we would have to use bigger-sized timber and there would need to be other changes in the production process that would alter the business model."
The additional costs of that meant it is not viable for the New Zealand industry to aim for that market.
The plus side of targeting the internal woodwork market is that it would start to move radiata pine up the value chain  something the forestry industry has talked about for a generation.
The building code is a tool that can be used by some countries as a non-tariff trade barrier.
For example, New Zealand fought a battle for years to get the Japanese to accept radiata pine as a legitimate timber.
"We don't want to go through that again with China. What we're trying to do at the moment is get in at the start, when the building code is being put together. That gets us in."
Those non-tariff barriers are becoming a major issue for trade negotiators. Mr Jacobi  a former negotiator for New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade  recently headed an international delegation from the industry at World Trade Organisation talks in Geneva.
"The difficulty is finding a way to negotiate on non-tariff barriers. When you are talking about tariffs you are clearly talking about percentages and there are clear numbers involved.
"There are a number of agreements that ostensibly deal with non-tariff barriers but those agreements don't work  or at least they don't work all that well  because the agreed language to implement them just isn't there."

I recently received an email that referred back to an article I wrote in 2009. It referred to a tool that I use in order to identify probable turning points in the markets. The student asked if this was still a valid tool and if I still used it today. The tool is the Commitment of Traders report.
The Commitment of Traders (commonly referred to as the COT) report has been published by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission since 1962 and provides information on the open interest of futures contracts. The report, which can be found at www.cftc.gov, is published every Friday and contains the data from the previous Tuesday. A futures contract is a derivative which gets its value from an underlying asset. It is traded to either profit from future values of the asset or to hedge a position in the asset against a drop in price. The COT shows open interest in a multitude of commodity, currency, and stock index futures. Open interest differs from volume in that volume is the number of contracts actually traded per day while open interest is the number of contracts entered into, either long or short, that have not been offset by transactions or exercise. They are new or open contracts which may offer clues as to what the traders are anticipating price to do in the asset. This information can be used to assist us in our own trading decisions whether we are trading currency, commodities, futures, options, or even stocks.
The COT breaks down open longs and shorts into three categories. We have the Commercials, the Non-Commercials, and the Non-Reportables (also known as speculators). The Commercials are people or businesses that deal directly with the underlying asset such as farmers, miners, and international businesses. With commodity futures, they understand the true supply and demand of the asset and are trying to hedge against future price movement that could hurt operating profits. They are not usually trying to profit from the futures contract itself. Stock index futures are used to hedge institutional portfolios and for arbitrage opportunities. The non-commercials are large speculators and can represent "smart money." They are speculating on the future movement of the trend in the underlying asset. The non-reportable positions are the so called "dumb money." There are the small individual traders trying to play the direction of the markets for profit and are often wrong.
The COT provides the open interest for both longs and shorts for all three categories of traders. Subtract the net shorts from the net longs in each category to see if the commercials, non-commercials, and small traders are net long or net short. To use the COT data, many trading platforms like Tradestation will allow you to chart the data as an indicator. Look to see if the traders are going net long or net short? Are they increasing their longs or their shorts? To trade with the trend, follow the non-commercials. Remember, this is the "smart money" that seeks to profit from price movement in the futures contract. If they are net short and increasing their shorts, look to go short yourself. If they are net long and increasing their net longs, look to open longs as well.
The most powerful trading signal comes when the commercials and speculators are trending in one direction while the non-commercials, are trending in the opposite. The divergence of these groups shows the professionals taking money from the public and you should definitely follow the professionals for greater probability of success.
The following chart shows the S&P 500 Futures on a weekly chart with the COT Net Position as an indicator below. Look at how the divergences and the non-commercials indicated the trend. They seemed to trade in the correct direction. A similar picture was painted in early 2009 when the professionals bought ahead of the market bottom while many traders sold off into the decline.
Watch the markets carefully and especially the large traders… they will lead the way. There is a lot of market noise in the news today. Worries about sovereign debt, elections, possible inflation, etc., are weighing on everyone's mind. Trade in the direction that the markets and your charts tell you, and look for clues from the smart money.

HOUSTON (AP) — Minnesota Twins designated hitter Miguel Sano was carted off the field in the second inning against Houston on Tuesday night after injuring his surgically repaired left leg sliding into second base.
The team says X-rays are negative and he's listed as day-to-day with a bruise on his lower left leg.
Sano had a rod inserted in his left leg in November. The procedure helped him deal with a stress reaction in his shin that came after he fouled a ball off the bone last August.
Sano remained on the ground for several minutes after his slide while a team trainer tended to him. He did not put any weight on his left leg as he was helped onto the cart and taken off the field.

Drummers, Feature Stories, Update
Def Leppard's Rick Allen
Rick Allen says the great thing about Def Leppard's new album, Yeah!, is that the band didn't have to spend time writing new material. Instead, they decided to record a selection of '70s cover songs.
"We were a '70s band," Allen says proudly. "There were mounds of cover songs we wanted to record. But we didn't want to do the obvious ones. The songs on the record are known, but they're not necessarily massive hits."
Rick admits that "Hell Raiser," a tune originally recorded by Sweet, was the most challenging for him, given his physical capabilities. "That one took some time for me to work out," says Allen, who lost his arm in a car accident twenty years ago.
Rick says that recording is a lot easier today than it was back when Def Leppard first started. "It's much easier to map out a song now using whatever technology you can," Allen explains. "I can also go back in after the fact and re-punctuate or change something. In a perfect world, it's great to be able to do a take from start to finish. The way that Def Leppard makes records today is very disjointed, which can be the downside of technology. It's not like it used to be."
Rick and Def Leppard are currently on tour supporting their new release.

Q: Data Structure in array NullPointerException
Possible Duplicate:
NullPointerException when Creating an array of object

I am having NullPointerException in main method, in line
array[0].name = "blue";

Structure Class:
public class Items {

String name = "";
String disc = "";
}

Main Class :
public class ItemsTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Items[] array = new Items[2];

            array[0].name = "blue"; //NullPointerException
        array[0].disc = "make";
        array[1].name = "blue";
        array[1].disc = "blue";
           }
}

Please help me how to resolve this.

A: Items[] array = new Items[2];

You have to initialize each element of array, by default they are null
Make it,
Items[] array = new Items[2];
//initialization
array[0] = new Items();
array[0].name = "blue"; //NullPointerException
array[0].disc = "make";

//initialization
array[1] = new Items();
array[1].name = "blue";
array[1].disc = "blue";

A: When you wrote the line:
Items[] array = new Items[2];

You initialized an Array of the type Items which can contain 2 elements, or in other words, you only initialized the container.
Each element in the array is an object and also needs initialization, and when addressing array[0].name you're trying to access the inner element which is currently null
If you'll check Jigar Joshi answer, you'll see he also initializes each Items element inside the array.
Hope this helps!

A: Items[] array = new Items[2]; // Creates an array of Items with null values

Hence have to use
Items[] array = { new Items(), new Items() }; // as suggested by aioobe....

or need to intialise the array like
array[0] = new Items();
