. Iraq snatches a fatal draw against Oman in the Arab Cup
yallakora
The Iraqi national team scored a 1-1 draw against its Omani counterpart, today, Tuesday, in the first round of the Arab Cup group stage.
The referee of the match issued the red card in the face of the Iraqi national team player, Yasser Qassem, by the 68th minute, for his country's team to complete the match with 10 players.
The Oman national team scored the first goal by Salah Al Yahyani in the 80th minute.
With around the 90 + 3 minute, the referee awarded a penalty kick in favor of the Iraqi national team, which was saved by Ahmed Al Rawahi, the Oman goalkeeper, brilliantly and prevented the ball from passing into the net.
The match referee decided to re-execute the penalty kick after the Oman goalkeeper moved before kicking the ball, so player Hassan Abdul Karim advanced to implement the ball and successfully hit the ball into the net
With that result, both teams scored one point from the match, and the result is waiting for Qatar and Bahrain to meet in the same group.

April is Autism Awareness Month. It promotes autism awareness and acceptance. Wear the autism ribbon and check your local area for events often hosted by autism groups throughout the month. For more information check out the Autism Society.


Classes at HANDS ON focus on sound structure and use of materials for traditional bookbinding and the execution of artist books. Students will benefit from Priscilla's years of production binding, learning methods that offer speed and efficiency without compromising quality of the work.
Registration details appear at the end of class listings. Truth or Consequences is a popular hot mineral water spa town with a range of accommodations.
Hotel recommendations will be made upon registration.
LEARN OR REVIEW THE BASICS for making a traditional case bookbinding at this one day workshop. Students will hand bind one 1/4 cloth, flatback case binding (cloth on the spine, decorative paper on the boards). Methods learned prepare students for all future Hands On Bookbinding workshops, whether choosing a path to traditional fine binding or focusing on artist book structures, or box making.
Bookbinding Warm Up is a Prerequisite for all other Hands On Bookbinding workshops. Class limited to 6 students, 3 minimum. Repeats Saturday, February 16, prior to a next level class.
THE ROUNDED SPINE for Case Binding.
Building on the techniques taught in the Bookbinding Warmup class, students will learn to shape (round and back) the sewn text, paying close attention to the control and use of spine swell created by the folded and sewn sections. Two rounded case bindings will be made during this workshop: one bound in quarter cloth and decorative paper and the other covered in full cloth. Students gain more experience in measuring, cutting, assembly and casing-in books.
Class limited to 6 students, minimum of 3.
The drop-spine box, popularly known as the clamshell box, opens like a book. It is constructed with an outer case, which has two interlocking trays attached to it. Versatile, it can be used to protect and house books, prints, photos, or other unusual objects.
Each student will first make a pre-cut 8-1/2 x 11 inch box to learn the sequence of assembly and covering. Then they will have an opportunity to custom make a box for their own personal item, no bigger than 11 x 14 inches, by 1-3/8 inches deep. All boxes will be covered in bookcloth, and lined inside with paper.
A clamshell box is a three-dimensional object, and will require spatial thinking and some precise measuring and hand cutting. Simple and useful techniques will be taught to ease this challenge. Class limited to 4 students.
BOOKBINDING WARMUP is a Prerequisite. NOTE for ONGOING STUDENTS who have taken my box class before, students go directly to working on a box for a personal project, or are introduced to other housing methods such as the slipcase.
* Upon request, class may repeat later in Spring 2019. Otherwise, it will be included in the Fall 2019 lineup.
$235. ~ leather, materials included.
Further refinements of the case binding are featured in this class that introduces working with fine goatskin leather. Students learn to pare leather on paring machines. Two books will be completed: a 1/4 leather rounded case with decorative paper on boards, and a 1/2 leather rounded case, which adds leather to the four corners and decorative paper in the center of the boards. Case joints (hinges) will vary in width between the two bindings, the first with the usual pressed groove used on most case bindings; and the other, bound with a tighter joint for a continuous contour, enhanced by back-cornered boards and a shaped, rounded headcap at each end of the leather case spine.
NOTE: in order to complete the two leather books over two days, students will be instructed to prepare two sewn texts prior to arriving for workshop. Prerequisite: Hands On Bookbinding's Bookbinding Warmup and The Rounded Case classes.
Upon request, The ROUNDED CASE may be repeated again just prior to this leather course, an option for many out of town students, becoming a 4-day intensive course!
Class limited to 5 students, 3 minimum.
Additional fun with alternative book structures.
(Saturday & Sunday) 9:00am – 4:00pm .
Book Structures designed to help the artist/student to think ahead when binding an artist book, but without compromising the spontaneity of their creation. Departing from traditional binding, these bindings use little adhesive during construction and more flexibility at the spine to compensate for later additions, such as collage, photos or for engineering pop-up spreads.
Two books will be executed during this workshop with techniques including sewing on exposed straps for one, and the second book made with folded text pages that are tipped (glued) together instead of sewing. Both bindings allow the text to lay flat when opened to view full spreads. Bindings require no pressing and very little adhesive. What could be more perfect for the artistic temperament?
ONGOING Students may work on special projects using these techniques during class time, such as the sliding strap book that can be displayed on the wall.
Prerequisite: BOOKBINDING WARMUP. Class limited to 6 students, 3 minimum.
$225. ~ leather, materials included.
This class transitions the student from the case bound book to the concept of the spine hollow and "in-boards" binding, where the boards and the book spines are attached to the text block before it is covered.
Students will focus on one elegant binding based on the Millimeter style. This structure utilizes an attached spine/paper component that acts like a spine hollow and extends over the spine shoulders to the endpaper linings, eventually to be used as a flange for the board attachment. Small amounts of leather are applied to the spine and fore-edge of the book boards, then trimmed down to literally millimeters along edges, which brings attention to the decorative paper on the boards.
Prerequisite: Hands On Bookbinding classes: Bookbinding Warmup, The Rounded Case, and Case binding Refined. Class limited to 5 students, 3 minimum.
This class is designed to transition students to future classes in laced-on boards binding, or fine binding.
Class size limitations depends on course, from 4 to 6 students (depending on class) minimum of 3. Priscilla's past students may bypass the Bookbinding Warmup prerequisite, upon approval.
A deposit of $75. is required to hold a place in a class, $100. for leather classes. Balance due by workshop date. Deposit by check is preferred, but Paypal payments may be sent for balance of tuition. A two week notice of cancellation is necessary to receive full refund of deposit or any prepaid payment.

Whale Fossil Sheds New Light on Human Evolution
A 17-million-year-old beaked whale may be a key piece in the puzzle of tracing humanity back to its origins in East Africa. 19.03.2015, Sputnik International

A 17-million-year-old beaked whale may be a key piece in the puzzle of tracing humanity back to its origins in East Africa.
Scientists left the fossil untouched for a good forty years — it was originally found in Kenya in 1964, when archaeologists misidentified it as a turtle and filed it away. But new research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says the beaked whale took a wrong turn up an African river millions of years ago, leading scientists today to new clues about how climate change determined the course of human evolution.

A team headed by Louis Jacobs, a paleontologist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, concluded that the East African Plateau began forming no earlier than 17 million years ago, leading to the transformation of forests to grasslands, which made upright locomotion on two legs an advantageous adaptation for early human ancestors.
The fossil, found in an area likely shaped by the geological shift, may act as a beacon of sorts, helping scientists to pinpoint the exact location and date where humans began to develop into what they are today.
"It's more or less the story about the bipedalism," study researcher Henry Wichura told Live Science.
Mystery Solved? Dark Matter Could Have Killed Dinosaurs and Much More
19 February 2015, 14:38 GMT
Scientists know that our ancient ancestors were tree dwellers. Researchers believe that the geological upheaval in East Africa, which led to a landscape with fewer trees, forced us to adapt to grasslands and walk upright.
"The whale is telling us all kinds of things," said Jacobs. "It tells us the starting point for all that uplift that changed the climate that led to humans. It's amazing."
The 1964 fossil find at an elevation of 2,100 feet and 460 miles inland initially befuddled scientists, because the beaked whale species was known to be a deep diver.
Without the rediscovered skull, it would have been difficult to help date the uplift, Wichura said.

"With the whale, everything started," he told Live Science.
The study reminds both professional and amateur paleontologists to study the location and age of each fossil they find, said Frank Brown, a professor of geology at the University of Utah, who was not involved in the study.
"Even single specimen of organisms tell us a great deal about the history of the Earth, and they sometimes appear in surprising cases," Brown told Live Science. "This is one such case."

Montana is a breathtaking state riddled with nature that remains largely unspoiled. Crystal clear rivers, staggering vistas, and crisp mountain air make it a dream location for many outdoor enthusiasts. Fishermen are no different—they come from all over the world to fish Montana for premium trout. The Bighorn River is a pristine location for trout fishing.
The river begins at Boysen Reservoir in Wyoming and winds its way down into Montana 150 miles downstream. From the river, you can see the Pryor and Bighorn mountains rise up to the south and west to create gorgeous panoramas. Many fish this river year-round, and it's not a bad idea to pack your gear in a waterproof duffel bag, as the rocks here are notorious for their slippery texture created by moss.
The Bighorn River is a destination for some of the best trout fishing in the U.S. Fish in this river are consistently large and average around 15 inches for a brown trout and 16 inches for rainbow. It's estimated that the fish population in the area is between 3,000-5,000 fish per mile. This river features consistent fishing conditions and a steady flow due to the dam that regulates river flow.
Dry: Midges (dark), sizes 16-22 or as small as can be managed, work well as midge hatches occur at any time of the year.
Wet: Numerous nymph patterns will take fish. Scud (freshwater shrimp), San Juan Worm, Hares Ear, Muddler Minnows, Pheasant Tail Nymph, and the Zug Bug work well.
Fly fishing is high-quality here year-round, so pack your long sleeve fishing shirts and layer for warmth to enjoy winter fishing at this gorgeous spot.
Grundéns provides the highest quality fishing gear to commercial fishermen and anglers worldwide. They have a passion for fishing and it shows. Their clothing will keep you fully outfitted for any fishing adventure. Designed to keep your focus on the fish, their fishing shirts, bibs, jackets, and other gear will keep you on the water longer.
To fish your best, you need your mind on the water, not your clothing. Fishing apparel stands apart because it is engineered by fishermen, for fishermen. They understand your movements and the elements and create clothing that seamlessly integrates into your fishing style. Instead of focusing on your clothing, deck yourself out in fishing shirts and pants and spend your free time designing your perfect fishing story.
Don't get hung up while casting. Fishing apparel is engineered for its flexibility and won't hinder your movements, especially while casting. Look for garments crafted from stretchy material that gives, most importantly in the midsection, shoulders, and arms.
You don't want to spend your day applying sunblock every two hours, and you certainly don't want to suffer for days with a brutal sunburn. Apparel that offers UPF protection will keep your mind on the water and protect you from the sun's damaging rays. Long sleeve fishing shirts with UPF are designed to be lightweight and cooling making them easy to wear all summer long. Protect your face with a neck gaiter that you can pull up to cover your lower face and neck. You should still apply sunscreen to areas that are uncovered, especially ones you'd normally neglect like your hands, neck, ears, and feet.
Fishing apparel is created to withstand blood and guts without staining. Look for garments that feature stain-resistance, and shop brands that are known for their lasting quality. Major fishing apparel brands are dedicated to providing gear that can withstand the elements and the washing machine for years.
On the ocean it's usually 10-20 degrees colder than it is inland and fishing specific apparel is optimal for its layer-ability. Being able to add or shed clothing throughout the day will keep you on the water longer. Stay away from cotton, as it tends to stick to skin and prevent cooling.
Grundéns knows the ins and outs of fishing, and they've been outfitting fishermen for over a century. They'll help you stand up to the forces of nature wherever you choose to fish. Their garments are designed to keep you dry and comfortable on the water, from shoes to the perfect waterproof duffel bag you'll find what you need at Grundéns.
No one wants to fish all day when they're fighting the elements unprepared. The more comfortable you are, the more you can concentrate on hooking your prize.
The importance of layering cannot be overstated; it is the key to enjoying the great outdoors for hours on end. The ability to add and remove layers keep you comfortable and even if it's gorgeous when you leave, bringing your extra layers will keep you prepared should the weather turn. Pack your extra items in a waterproof duffel bag so, your extra gear stays clean and dry.
Your base layer will trap body heat during cold weather and wick sweat away to cool you during warm summer days. You'll want to look for quick-drying fabrics, which pull moisture away from the body to prevent overheating. Soft fabric that stretches with your body easily is also important. Some fisherman prefer utilizing long sleeve fishing shirts as their base area as when other layers are removed you'll be left with SPF protection from the sun. The one thing to remember is no cotton in your base layer.
This layer should be looser in fit than your base layer but far from baggy. Designed to carry moisture away from your base layer, your mid-layer options come in a variety of weights that will give you the coverage you want. Whether you choose a midweight puffy jacket or a polyester fleece hoody, this layer should also possess moisture wicking capabilities that keep you cool and dry. If you are in an area that is prone to wind, choose an option with wind-resistance built-in.
When choosing fishing bibs, you'll obviously want waterproof fabric with fully taped seams. Choosing features that make adjusting sizing to suit various layers easy, and that makes removal a simple process without removing your footwear will make your life on the water easier. Beyond that, bibs come with as many features as the people who wear them. Considering how you'll use them and your personal preference will help you choose the best-suited bibs.
This shell layer provides the ultimate protection from the elements. This layer should be totally waterproof with fully taped seams, especially if you fish the ocean as you'll want protection from spray. Look for features that keep you dry, like breathable material and hook and loop cinch cuff closures or neoprene cuffs.
Grundéns provides the highest quality fishing gear to commercial fishermen and anglers worldwide. They have a passion for fishing, and it shows. Their clothing will keep you fully outfitted for any fishing adventure. Designed to keep your focus on the fish, their fishing shirts, bibs, jackets, and other gear will keep you on the water longer.
If you have been fishing for a long time, you probably know already how wonderful the experience can be. If you are less experienced but still interested, it might surprise you how much joy and peace of mind a reel, a rod, some good clothes, a waterproof duffel bag and some bait can provide.
In some ways, fishing is much more than a sport or a pastime. It is a state of mind. It can help put us in touch with the things that truly make life worth living.
Why Do People Love Fishing So Much?
Sometimes, you just need to get away. The 9-to-5 grind, the bills to pay, the meetings, the deadlines—all of that can fade into the background as you cast your line out.
The calm and solitude of fishing gives a person space to stop and reflect on their life. As the hustle and bustle of everyday life quiets down, you can start to put things in perspective. You can reflect on your life and the direction it seems to be going.
At the very least, fishing can let you focus on just one thing for a little while. That in itself can help clear the mind and help someone plunge back into work with renewed energy.
Of course, fishing is not always a solitary pastime. It can be a great way to spend some quality time with your family and your friends.
High-quality, long-sleeve fishing shirts help anglers stay warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather. They allow people to move easily, stay dry and avoid sunburns. Some of them are even made from special fabric that keeps a body cool by using its own sweat.
Good fishing pants or shorts are smart investments too. The best pants and shorts are durable but lightweight and flexible at the same time. They also keep water out but prevent sweat from building up too.
Anglers should also take proper care of their gear too. Rugged, waterproof duffel bags and backpacks let people protect their stuff and stay mobile.
Grundéns provides passionate anglers with the garments and gear listed above and more. The company is proud to help both professional and recreational fishermen stay dry and safe as they do what they love.
Grundéns offers long sleeve fishing shirts and other performance apparel that provide durability, flexibility, comfort and protection from moisture and UV rays. Anglers and professional fishermen rely on the company's products day in and day out.
Grundéns' long sleeve shirts are designed to help fishermen perform at their best without worrying about prolonged exposure to the sun and temperature extremes. Fast-drying, lightweight fabrics deliver 4-way stretch and high-UPF sun protection. Select styles also have articulated armpit designs to reduce friction while anglers are casting and fighting fish.
The best fishing shirts, fishing bibs and other apparel can help people get the most from their fishing experiences. When commercial fishermen and average anglers are looking for long sleeve fishing shirts and other fishing garments, they need to pay attention to the fabric that shirts, bibs and pants are made from.
For example, clothes made from cotton might seem appealing at first glance. After all, cotton is consistently soft and comfortable. However, that can change pretty quickly once someone wears it on a fishing trip. Once it gets wet, cotton can take a long time to dry. That can be a problem when somebody plans to spend a lot of time around water.
Also, cotton shirts and pants will probably not hold up well after getting drenched on multiple trips. For one thing, they have a tendency to shrink after being washed and can get stretched out easily. On top of that, their colors tend to fade as well. Cotton might be fine for undershirts, but serious fishermen will probably want something more durable and waterproof for their outerwear.
Polyester is more resistant to stretching and can dry quicker than cotton does. At the same time, it feels pretty comfortable while someone wears it. Unfortunately, fishing bibs and other clothes made from polyester can be prone to static cling. This might get a little annoying when someone is moving around the deck of a boat. Still, polyester shirts allow people to move easily and keep dry, which offsets this slight drawback.
Performance apparel made from nylon gives anglers a variety of advantages. Not only is nylon highly durable, it is also lightweight and flexible. Although it tends not to be as comfortable as cotton or polyester, good manufacturers can work around this shortcoming by weaving nylon with fabric like oxford cloth to make it softer.
Nylon can also get a little warmer than other fabrics. This is not really a problem when fishing in colder temperatures, but it could be a bit more of an issue when the weather gets warm. However, the best manufacturers can add features like hidden cooling vents and waterproof, breathable barriers that allow sweat and body moisture to travel out but keep water from coming in.
Grundéns provides anglers with performance apparel that combines reliable comfort with outstanding functionality. The company also offers gear like a waterproof duffel bag through its online store.
Grundéns provides commercial fishermen and anglers worldwide with top-quality fishing clothes, fishing gear and onshore workwear. The company's fishing bibs and other performance apparel let customers move easily while staying dry and comfortable.
Why Use Fishing Shirts and Other Performance Apparel?
To average laymen and beginning fishers, fishing shirts and other performance apparel might not seem like a necessary investment. However, spending any amount of time in a stream or on the ocean will make clear how vital this clothing can be.
For people around the world, fishing is more than just a pastime. It is a passion handed down from generation to generation. For people who work in the fishing industry, it goes even further—it is literally their way of life.
Serious fishermen will recognize the importance of having good gear and clothing. Spending hours out on the water day after day, month after month and year after year can be hard on a person's body. Here are some of the benefits of having high-quality fishing shirts and other apparel.
To stay safe, anglers need to keep their faces, arms and necks covered. Well-designed long sleeve fishing shirts can shield their arms from the sun without getting soaked with sweat. High-quality fishing have high UPF sun ratings. Some of them even have features like mesh-lined vents in the shoulder blades to help keep wearers cool.
It may be completely redundant to point this out, but people who fish should expect to get wet. If you manage to land a great catch, you may well get splashed lifting it out of the water. Just being in a boat will get water on your clothes and skin. A few hours of that can get pretty unpleasant when a person has the wrong clothes on.
A good fishing shirt and bib pant can help someone stay dry, warm and clean while they are fishing. Fishermen can find clothing that is water-resistant and dries quickly.
Last but not least, fishermen need to wear clothes that lets them move easily. They can find pants and shirts that give them both durability and flexibility.
Grundéns is proud to provide anglers and commercial fishermen with performance apparel that gives them all of the above. Customers can also find luggage like a waterproof duffel bag at the company's online store.
Grundéns offers a diverse assortment of high-quality fishing clothes, fishing gear and onshore workwear to sport and commercial fishermen. The company's long sleeve fishing shirts and other performance apparel are designed to give anglers comfort, protection from the elements and unlimited range of motion.
Grundéns' high-quality fishing bibs deliver both reliable protection and impressive comfort. Their waterproof, breathable barriers, Durable Water Repellant and other features keep you warm and dry without causing overheating or sweating.


Halberstadt, Anna Ruth W., Simkins, Lauren M., Anderson, John B., et al.. "Characteristics of the deforming bed: till properties on the deglaciated Antarctic continental shelf." Journal of Glaciology, 64, no. 248 (2018) 1014-1027. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2018.92.
Contemporary ice stream flow is directly linked to conditions at the ice/bed interface, yet this environment is logistically difficult to access. Instead, we investigate subglacial processes important for ice stream flow by studying tills on the deglaciated Antarctic continental shelf. We test currently-accepted hypotheses surrounding subglacial processes and till properties with a Ross Sea dataset. Till shear strengths indicate a continuum of simultaneous processes acting at the bed, rather than discrete 'deformation' and 'lodgement' end-members. We identify a threshold water content representing saturated pore spaces, leading to basal sliding and meltwater channelization. Based on observations of till properties relative to glacial landforms, we challenge the assumption that low shear strength is linked to intense deformation. Spatial variability in landform morphology reflects variability in deforming processes at the sub-ice stream scale and suggests a maximum deforming bed thickness of 2 m at the grounding line. Regional till properties generally correlate with seafloor geology and deglacial history; the western Ross Sea is characterized by higher and more variable shear strengths and water contents, while lower-shear strength till was preserved in the Eastern Basin. These observations inform till interpretation and provide context for deforming beds beneath the modern ice sheet and on glaciated continental shelves.

DOVER — Delaware's Division of Public Health celebrated getting its stamp of approval from the Public Health Accreditation Board with the hanging of a banner and slicing of a cake Wednesday.
"We chose to go for the accreditation because the process of applying is a vehicle to ensure we are doing the important work that needs to be done to best serve the residents of Delaware," said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of the Division of Public Health.
Completing the 300-documents accreditation application required the division to take a good look at itself — something not done previously.
Data was sifted, community input was received, a strategic plan was developed and after the collection of necessary documents, the division finally was considered for accreditation.
"We embraced all of the information we collected and it took a long time to get to this point but it was so worth it," Dr. Rattay said. "We were able to determine we were using the appropriate strategies, properly tracking our priorities and that we had the right policies and processes in place."
But scrounging up all the information to earn the accreditation didn't happen overnight. It took seven years and was spurred by the H1N1 flu and its presence in Delaware.
"I remember that H1N1 press conference," Gov. Jack Markell said. "That was at the start of my administration and I've never been to a press conference with so many cameras since. It was very serious. And we've dealt with so many other things that the Division of Public Health deals with every single day."
Dr. Rattay said it's important given the economic times that the division be strategic, have the right priorities and use its resources wisely to handle not just day-to-day public health issues but also health crises.
"New things are coming all the time that we need to be prepared for," said Rita Landgraf, secretary of Delaware Health and Social Services. "It started out with H1N1, then there was Ebola and now Zika."
The accreditation is valid for five years, so the division must reapply in 2021, going through the entire internal review process once more.
"We are planning on applying again because it's important for us to continue the process of improving and implementing new measures and meeting the highest standards so we can provide the best services to Delawareans," Dr. Rattay said. "The accreditation we announced today didn't end the journey of improvement, it simply allowed us to press the pause button for a moment."
Aside from internal improvements, the accreditation places Delaware's Division of Public Health among an elite group of only 19 states and territories that have met the same requirements.
In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified accreditation as a key component in improving public health infrastructure and holding state health departments to the highest standards.

SUV boom underway in China?
Even though it's already the biggest, China's auto market is still very new, and sales continue to rise by leaps and bounds every year. For years, a mix of small, affordable vehicles and larger luxury sedans have been dominant, but the latest sales data indicates that utility vehicles may be taking over.
2010 SUV sales are up 108 percent versus the same period in 2009, with 372,527 units sold. April was a banner month for the big and tall set, with 105,585 SUVs and crossovers making their way to customers. The big winner was the Great Wall Hover, with 13,000 sales. Asian marques round out the the crossover-laden top five, led by the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Zotye RX6400 and Toyota Highlander.
With sales in China routinely growing from 10 to 20 percent annually, we think a big part of the SUV and crossover growth is organic. That SUV sales have doubled so quickly shows that Chinese consumers' vehicle tastes may be more in line with American buyers, rather than the wagon and hatch-loving Europeans.

About the Public Health Department
As required by law, a Board of Health oversees Arapahoe County Public Health and appoints a public health director. As is the case in the County, if the public health director is not a physician, they also work with a medical officer.
Public Health vs. Medical Care
There are lots of ways both private medical providers and local governments help keep residents healthy and safe. But understanding the differences between public health and medical care can be confusing, so we're breaking down the main differences below to help you better understand the types of public health options Arapahoe County is considering as we build our own health department.
Medical Care Public Health
Focused on finding a cure or treatment for disease or injury Focused on preventing disease or injury
Focused on individuals Focused on groups and communities
Uses behavior change Uses policy and environmental change
Is needed some of the time Is needed all of the time
Successful public health programs help communities thrive. These programs help prevent disease, reduce accidents, and encourage safety. The Centers for Disease Control has identified some specific successes of public health that include:
Vaccine-preventable diseases—Vaccines, including those for rotavirus, HPV and tetanus, have resulted in fewer hospitalizations, deaths, and health-care costs associated with vaccine-preventable diseases.
Prevention and control of infection disease—Targeted prevention efforts have been effective in controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
Tobacco control—Efforts like those regulating the purchase and use of tobacco have substantially reduced the number of people who smoke. Smoking has been associated with increased rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and COPD.
Maternal and infant health—Improvements in technology and screening of newborns for specific diseases have led to earlier life-saving treatment and intervention.
Motor vehicle safety—Regulation interventions, like those requiring seat belts and car seats for children or addressing impaired drivers, have led to fewer people dying or being seriously injured while traveling by car.
Cardiovascular disease prevention—Deaths from heart disease and strokes have declined as corresponding risk factors, like smoking and elevated cholesterol, have also been reduced through public health efforts.
Occupational safety—Education on working conditions, such as safe patient lifting in health care settings or outreach to families working in agriculture to help parents to match chores with their child's development and physical capabilities, have reduced workplace injuries.
Cancer prevention—Increases in screening, like those for colon, breast and cervical cancer, along with more effective screenings, have reduced deaths.
Childhood lead poisoning prevention—The number of states with lead poisoning prevention laws, and enforcement of those laws, increased and the prevalence of lead poisoning was subsequently reduced.
Public health preparedness and response—Since the terrorist attacks in 2001, efforts to expand the capacity of systems to respond to public health threats. For example, treatments were quickly delivered to treat people during a cholera outbreak in Haiti.
History of Public Health
Public health efforts date back to ancient times, with a focus on sanitation, distribution of clean water and even recycling. Much more recently, public health activities have been defined as assessment, planning, and policy development. The COVID-19 pandemic has called the attention of the general public to the role of public health in their daily lives.
On a state level the Department of Public Health and Environment serves public health needs; however, every county is also required to have a public health department. Tri-County Health Department has served as the health agency for Arapahoe County between 1948 and 2022. Arapahoe County Public Health opened its doors on Jan. 1, 2023.

Bdnl.net : Rohingya refugees from Myanmar are increasingly committing subversive and terrorist activities, putting the stability of the country at high risk.
Failing to manage legal work, a large number of the refugees involve in armed robbery, theft, mugging, killing and a multitude of other crimes under different organized groups of wrongdoers.
Such activities have turned Bangladesh-Myanmar border areas alongside Cox's Bazar, Bandarban and Naikhanchodi in a fertile ground for forging Bangladeshi passports and national identity cards and a breeding ground for terrorist and militant activities.
The number of Rohingya offenders operating at Ukhiya until September 7, 2010 was 205. Around 600 Rohingya, however, are serving sentences for different crimes. These terrorists use their refugee camps as torture cells, which has tarnished the image of Bangladesh abroad.
Rohingya infiltration into Bangladeshi territories has been going on ever since Burma gained Independence in 1948. Till 1992, a quarter of a million Rohingyas took refuge in the refugee camps at Kutupalong, Morissa, Ukhiya and Teknaf, 2,00,000 of whom returned home afterwards.
Those who did not go back were in fact wanted criminals being hunted in their home country. Later, they were joined by illegal infiltrators from Myanmar's province of Araakan, situated along the border of Bandarban and Cox's Bazar.
Araakan is home to Rohingya and Rakhain people. Rohingya are the followers of Islam who are the minority there. Military junta in Myanmar does not consider them Myanmar citizens. The government and the majority Rakhain often target them for repression; apparently forcing them taking shelter in Bangladesh.
There are few checkpoints in the deep and inaccessible forests of Nikhonchori. Militants exploited the opportunity by setting up training camps in the deep and inaccessible forests.
Some NGOs having links with regional and international militant organizations are actively patronizing these terrorist activities. These subversive activities were first introduced by Dr. Yunus and Professor Jakaria under the outfits of "Rohingya Solidarity Organization" (ISO) and "National Union Party of Arakan". Now many other organizations have joined them in the name of helping the Rohingyas.
Some of these organizations are Arakan Army, Arakan Islamic Front and Arakan Rohingya National Organization led by Dr. Nurul Islam, Arakan Liberal Party, Burmese Rohingya Organization UK by Mochogkhin, Rohingya League for Democracy Burma by Md. Harun and Md. Ibrahim, Arakan Rohingya Council, Rohingya Congress by Mr Harun, Iktadul Tulah Al Muslimin and Bundaban Arakan Alliance.
Most powerful of these organizations is RSO, headed by Dr Yunus. It has 74,000 trained members. The NGO "Rabeta Al Islam" is headquartered just beside the camp of Dr Yunus, which provides monetary help to RSO.
Its ammunition depots are situated at Moheskhali and Nikhonchori. Intelligence Reports dating back to September last year shows these camps have Chinese RPG-2, rocket launchers, light machine guns, AK-47 and M-16.
A supporter of Jammat-e-Islami, Dr Yunus is currently residing in England and Dr Nurul Islam in Saudi Arabia.
The arms smuggled from China through Cambodian borders to these camps are subsequently handed over to different militant groups including ULFA, which operates in India. The arms are not kept in the camps for a long time.
Revolvers, AK-47s, G-3s, M-16s, SMGs, LMGs, rocket launchers and other weapons are kept underground in Nikhonchori. BDR in 2005 discovered huge reserves of arms underground in the deep forest of Nikhonchori.
Home minister of the then BNP-led coalition government transferred the army officer in charge of arms haul to Rajshahi to stop such operations. He was later tasked with eliminating "Sorbohara" in conjunction with GMB, led by Bangla Bhai.
Rohingya are now split in different factions and operate separately in Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Taknaf, Uthia, Chokoria, Kotupalong, Rajpalong, Pile, Bandarban, Ruma, Lama, Tamchi, Khagrachori and Rangamati. They keep contact with terrorists in Myanmar via mobile phone.
Rohingya sources say there are 1,00,000 refugees in Kutubpalong slum, 15,000 in Noyapara and Leda and 10,000 in Jaobagan. Among 1,00,000 fishermen in Cox's Bazar, 70,000 are Rohingyas. Many of them are pirates who rob fishermen in the Bay of Bengal.
There are 1,20,000 people now living on the 120 km stretch of coastline, 40-50 thousand of them are Rohingyas. Around 60 percent of Rohingya live on mountainous areas.
The Rohingya can travel to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand for only 20,000 Taka. Some human traffickers from Bangladesh and Myanmar do business with these people.
Interested Rohingya are first brought to Kotubdia or Moheskhali and then taken to Malaysia or Indonesia after 8-10 days of journey through the rough seas. Human traffickers from Bangladesh and Myanmar help them make fake Bangladesh passports.
Raw materials and required tools to make forged passports and other documents are available in these camps. The head of the group "National United Araakan" Mahbul Alam Chowdury facilitate making of forged passports and sending people overseas. His elder brother and former BNP MP Shajahan Chowdury patronize Rohingya activities.
A Dhaka based network for making forged passports, lead by Monir, Zisan, Razaul and Atiq help the traffickers. Kochi, a close relative of BNP leader Salauddin Kader Chowdury, provides Rohingya with forged passports from Dhaka. Central leader of "Jubodol" Titash sends Rohingya abroad, managing them Bangladeshi passports.
Some Jammat supported NGOs help Rohingya commit terrorist activities in the name of humanitarian projects. Rabeta Al Islami, Al Taohid Trust, Islamic Relief and Muslim Aid and ASF are operating there for a long time.
Though these NGOs sometimes help Rohingya, their prime target is stashing the money they get from foreign aids. Many RSO and ARIF leaders have houses, cars and businesses in Bangladesh and some have married here.
In the name of gaining Independence for Araakan and spreading Madrasah education at Nikhonchori and Taknaf, these Rohingya and NGOs bring money from Pakistan and Arab countries and help Jammat-e-Islami with arms and manpower. Muslim Aid Concern Worldwide, Tie Rohingya and MSF are active in such operation.
Jammat leader Mir Kasem Ali brought and pocketed Taka 100 crore from Saudi Arabia and launched Digonta TV and the Daily Naya Diganta with a part of the money.
Leader of "Jihad Movement in Bangladesh" (Huji) Mulana Fojlul Rahman met Al-Quida leader Osama-bin-Laden on May 21, 2002 when Laden promised helping his organization.
Laden's second-in-command Aiman Al Jaohahiri, Rafi Ahmed Taha alias Abu Yasir and Sheikh Mia Hamza also pledged to help him.
Dr Yunus and Dr Nurul Islam have intimate relations with the current leader of United Liberation Front of Asam (ULFA) Orbind Raj Khuar. Roginya and ULFA leaders keep close contact with former Pakistani ambassador Alamgir Babor, BNP leader Salauddin Kader Chowdury and Jammat leader Shajahan Chowdury.
Anisur Rahman Gurki, Mota Badol, Rana and OC Hamid from "Haoa Babhan" met with ULFA and Rohingya leaders at different times. Huji leader Abdul Kuddus Borni has close contact with them. Borni came closer to Osama-bin-Laden during the Afgan conflict.
It is known that in 1996 Laden visited Karachi when he pledged to help Asamese and Rohingya gain Independence.
Sources inside Rohingya camps reveal that ISI provide training to ULFA and Rohingya often and also facilitate arms smuggle through Sylhet and Cox's Bazar Borders.
Sittwe: A clandestine poster campaign demanding 24 hour electricity be supplied all over Arakan State in western Burma with power generated from local gas was recently launched.
The 24-Hour Action Group Rakhine State has claimed that it has carried out the campaign on the 10th of November, coinciding the religious festive occasion in a number of townships including Sittwe, Ponnakyaun, Mrauk-U, Kyaukpru, Ramere and Taungok.
"Our members in different townships of the state have jointly worked on and launched this campaign at the same time on the same day in almost every township in our state. We have launched this campaign to demand that the Burmese regime supply 24-hour electricity in our state with power generated from the gas extracted from the local Shwe offshore gas fields in the state," said one of campaigners of the group.
The campaigner said they stuck posters that demanded 24-hour electricity at public places, on government buildings, and on the lamp posts of every street and also spread the posters in most busy streets in the towns.
The group had started to launch similar campaigns across Arakan state last October just after the Energy Minister U Than Htay stated in the parliament that his regime had already sold off the natural gas found in the Shwe offshore gas fields in Arakan State to China and had no plans to use any of the gas for the state.
"The regime will export 90% of the natural gas reserves to China within 30 years and will fetch US$ 970 million for exporting 400 cubic feet in a year and we can calculate how much profit the regime will earn by the gas from our state. However we local people will not get any benefit from this gas and that is why we have to launch this campaign to fight for our rights to those natural resources", said the campaigner.
According to the 24 Hours Action Group, Arakan State is abundant in gas and other natural resources, but even its Capital Sittwe gets only five-hours of electricity supplied per day and the consumers have to pay 500 kyat per unit of electricity a price 20 times higher than that being charged in Rangoon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw in mainland Burma. The group said they have also sent a letter to Dr. Aye Maung, the president of the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party, on the same day of the campaign urging him and his party to work for getting 24-hour electricity supply in Arakan State.
Kyauk Pru: Villagers from Sitetaw Village in Kyaukpru Township in western Burma's Arakan State have recently submitted an appeal letter to the Chief Minister of the Regional Government requesting compensation for the farmland confiscated by the Danyawaddy Naval Headquarters.
One of the villagers said 43 villagers whose lands were confiscated by the naval force have signed and submitted the petition to the CM on 26 of October, 2011.
"107.50 acres of our farmlands were forcibly confiscated without any compensation by the naval force in 1997. So 43 villagers whose lands were confiscated have written an appeal to the CM requesting compensation to us for our lands, but we have not received any response yet", said the villager.
The villager said that they have been suffering from great hardships since the land on which they had traditionally cultivated were confiscated.
"We understand it is quite impossible to get back our land from the naval force, but we still need to revive our lives that have been badly affected since our lands were confiscated. So we have requested that the CM provide us with fair compensation for our lands considering the hardships we face as a result", he said.
U Tin Phay, a lawmaker of the state parliament from the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party, also said the villagers have submitted a copy of their petition to his party's office as well.
"There are 43 villagers who signed the letter sent to the CM and they said in the letter that 107.50 acres of their farmlands had been confiscated by the Danyawaddy Naval Base in 1997", said U Tin Phay.
He said the villagers are expecting that the PM and local government would look into their matter and render compensation to them for the confiscated lands soon, though no response has been given by the government yet.
We have the honor to point out the sub-title "People" under which the Background Note of Burma mentioned that "Rohingya" is one of the majorities of Burma's ethnic groups. We are very much regrettable and astonished to read such so-called Rohingya as an ethnic group of Burma on your esteemed Background Note. In fact, our Burmese history shows that the main majority of indigenous ethnic groups of Burma are Burman, Shan, Karen, Arakanese (Rakhine), Kachin, Chin, and Mon.
The term "Rohingya" is synonym of alien Chittageonian separatists of Jihadist Mujahidin known as Mujahedeen. They had come from Bangladesh (formerly known as East Pakistan) and settled down in the northern part of Arakan (Rakhine) State. They are only Chittagonian Bengalis. They have no legal right to claim themselves of the ethnic identity of Rohingya in Burma. There are new breed of Muslim groups called themselves Roshigya and formed the several organizations such as (RSO) Rohingya Solidarity Organization, (ARNO) Arakan Rohigya National Organization, (ARIF) Arakan Rohigya Islamic Front, and (ARNC) Araken Rohingya National Council. There are links between ARNO and Al Qaeda.
We, therefore, like to request you that the so-called Rohingya which was wrongly mentioned in the Background Note: Burma under reference may kindly be removed. You are also honestly requested not to use the Rohingya as one of the indigenous ethnic group of Burma in future, since there is/was no such "Rohingya" ethnic majority or minority in our history.


Yesterday I was reminded of how fragile we really are. On the way to a skating marathon, My son fell asleep at the wheel, and rolled the car we were in. We were all very lucky that none of us were more seriously hurt. I got the most damage with 16 staples to close my head wound besides a scar and a little memory loss I should recover well.
This is sure to slow my VL work down a bit. I can only stand the pain a little while without drugs, and when I take them I am not too coherent.
For anyone that want to see the pics there are some here http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f59/uelsk8s/?action=view&current=96fd2800.pbw NOTE: some are kind of graphic.
Im sorry to hear that Uel. Being alive is the most important thing, but be sure to rest & recover both mentally and physically. About 3 weeks ago I had this surgery to ease my pains from an incident I had about 11 years ago. I know what ur goin thru. May I recommend a certain scar gel called Kelo-Cote. Immah about to buy it tomorrow too. Rest and heal mate!
I'm sorry to hear about your accident, but I'm glad everyone is basically okay. I hope your recovery goes well.
Wow we are very thankful that Uelsk8s and His family were not even more seriously injured.
We will be adding you and your family to our family's prayers.
You have my prayers and best wishes on a complete recovery with no lasting effects.
It feels like just yesterday that you were telling me about that leg gash of yours, AND NOW THIS.
BTW, glad you shared this with everyone. Helps us to remember the important things in life.
Wow! I'll be praying for you and your family.
I'm glad you and your family are relatively unhurt.
May your recovery be speedy and complete. Take care of what is important: yourself and your family.
I am glad you and your family are safe. I wish a promptly recovery for you.
WOW....the cut on your head look serious. But is it a relieve to know that you and your family is ok.
My best wishes to you and all involved. Here is hoping for a swift and full recovery.
If you were unconscious for any amount of time, you may have experienced some level of brain injury, in which case recovery could take longer than expected.
Very nasty. I hope both you and your family recover soon and fully.

Q: Low voltage relay to control ESC from Arduino I have an ESC controlled by Pixhawk (a flight controller which produces a PWM). In case of emergency I need to stop the ESC by inputing it a PWM lower than 50%. Opening the circuit will not work as the ESC will continue to run 3s.
I then chose to use an relay controlled by the arduino which selects the input to the ESC between the output of the Pixhawk and the output of the arduino (which produces the 50% PWM).
Do you think it is a good design? Do you a any advice of a relay I could use? The PWM voltage is 5V and current is <40 mA.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (遊☆戯☆王5D's(ファイブディーズ), Yūgiō Faibu Dīzu?, lit. "Game King: 5D's") is a Yu-Gi-Oh! series which began to air in Japan from April 2, 2008, and replaces Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (broadcast as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX in Japan). 5D's is also the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series to be broadcast in Widescreen.
Much like the previous series, it focuses around characters playing the card game, Duel Monsters, despite the fact the 'Duel Monsters' tagline has been dropped from the Japanese title. This series introduces new types of cards such as Synchro Monsters, that are reflected in the Official Trading Card Game. During the series, in addition to regular duels using Duel Disks, a new type of Duel Disk, motorcycle-like vehicles, called "Duel Runners" ("D-Wheel" in the Japanese version) is used, and the duelists engage in games called "Turbo Duels" ("Riding Duels" in the Japanese version).[1] Yusei Fudo, the 18 year-old main protagonist, has "Stardust Dragon" as his main card, which is the cover card for the Duelist Genesis trading card set.
As with the previous two series (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX), this series has been acquired by 4Kids Entertainment for broadcasting in the United States in September 2008.[2] It began airing on The CW4Kids, starting from September 13, 2008. The English language dub premiered on July 24 at San Diego Comic-Con 2008[3], where the first English dubbed episode was previewed. Like the previous two series, changes have been made to the plot, cards, localized character names. On June 1, 2009 Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's started airing 5 days a week on Cartoon Network. It did not air any episode on October 8. [1][2] A manga based on the show is being serialized in V-Jump Monthly Magazine. It started on August 2009.

Main article: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's characters
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's takes place decades after the events of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Unlike GX, however, it does not follow on the story from the previous series, and almost all of the cards used are brand new.
The game of Duel Monsters has changed; a new addition has been introduced to the future of dueling as seen in 5D's: "Turbo Duels". These duels are played in giant stadiums, and duelists ride motorcycles with built-in duel equipment known as "Duel Runners". Domino City has also changed, under the guidance of the head of its public maintenance bureau, Rex Goodwin ("Rex Godwin" in the Japanese version). Rich and powerful people live in what is now known as "New Domino City" ("Neo Domino City" in the Japanese version), while the poorer class are shunned and live mostly in the slums area, known as "the Satellite". They are referred to in the Japanese version as "Satellite scum" by the inhabitants of New Domino City. An aspiring duelist from Satellite, Yusei Fudo, builds his own Duel Runner, but is betrayed by his best friend, Jack Atlas ("Jack Atlus" in the Japanese ), who steals his Runner and his most precious monster, the Stardust Dragon.

Two years later, Yusei has built another Duel Runner, and sets out to win back his Dragon. Jack, now known as the Duel King (King of the Riding Duel in the Japanese version), has made a name for himself and his monster, the Red Dragon Archfiend (Red Demon's Dragon in the Japanese version), in New Domino City. Yusei and Jack face each other in a Turbo Duel, and during the duel Yusei is able to regain control of Stardust Dragon. As Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend battle, a third dragon appears and brings an abrupt end to the fight. This attracts the attention of Rex Goodwin, who reveals to Jack a thousand year old secret, involving the "People of the Stars" (星の民, Hoshi no Tami?), a pre-Incan civilization, the "Crimson Dragon" (赤き竜, Akaki Ryū?), and "Signers" (シグナー, Shigunā?). He also reveals to Jack that him, along with Yusei are descendants of them and are destined to face the Dark Signers. Yusei, along with Jack, Akiza Izinski (Aki Izayoi in the Japanese version), and Luna (ruka in the Japanese version) head to the Satellite to face these foes, with the help of Leo(rua in the Japanese version) and Crow Hogan (just Crow in the Japanese version) who becomes the fifth Signer.
After defeating the Dark Signers, Yusei and his friends get ready for the upcoming WPRG tournament, whilst facing off against a new threat with the power to repeal Synchro Monsters. During this time, Yusei encounters a mysterious man who teaches him about Accel Synchro, a super mechanic named Bruno who had lost his memory and a girl named Sherry Leblanc, who is investigating Ylliaster who are reportedly responsible for her parents' dealts. Yusei also goes to a place called Crash Town to save his friend and former Dark Signer, Kalin.
Yusei Fudo, the series' main protagonist.
A prominent new feature of the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's series, is the use of "Tuner Monsters" and "Synchro Monsters". These new cards also update the rules of the Trading Card Game, renaming the Fusion Deck as the Extra Deck.
A "Synchro Summon" is activated when a player summons a Tuner Monster and tunes it with one or more non-tuner monsters on the field. Based on the sum of the levels of each monster, a Synchro Monster of that level can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck. For example, when a Lv3 Junk Synchron tunes itself with a Lv2 Speed Warrior, the Lv5 Junk Warrior can be summoned. These monsters can also be tuned once again in order to summon higher level Synchro Monsters such as the Lv8 Stardust Dragon. These monsters may also contain additional attributes based on the monsters that were used as material for the summon. For example, a monster's ability to not be destroyed during battle is passed onto the Synchro Monster.
In the second season, there are "Dark Synchro Monsters" that can only be Synchro Summoned by subtracting the level of a non-tuner monster with a "Dark Tuner Monster", thus creating a negative Level. For example, a Lv8 Dark Tuner Monster can be tuned with a Lv3 Monster to summon a Lv -5 Dark Synchro Monster. Dark Synchro and Dark Tuner cards are exclusive to the anime, though can be used in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4. Dark Synchro Monsters featured in the anime are released as regular Synchro Monsters.
In the third season, a new type of Synchro Summon, known as Accel Synchro, is shown, that uses Synchro Monsters that are also Tuners with other Synchro Monsters to summon Accel Synchro Monsters during an opponent's turn.

As well as the normal standing duels, the latest Yu-Gi-Oh! series features the "Turbo Duels", an all-new style of duel in which the players ride "Duel Runners" (or simply "Runners" for short), motorcycles with Duel equipment. Compared to the previous series, dueling with Runners contain some special rules. First, the duel is entirely played using the field spell "Speed World", which is activated by both players when the duel begins; it is possible to force a duel with someone on a Duel Runner by playing the card (a tactic generally used by Security when pursuing someone). Second, only spell cards designed to work into this field, known as Speed Spells, are allowed in the duel. Each spell needs a number of "Speed Counters" to be activated. Each duelist starts with zero Speed Counters and its number increase by one in each standby phase(there are two of these in one turn), up to a maximum of 12. The number of speed counters also affects the actual speed of the Duel Runner. A player's Speed Counters are reduced by one for every 1000 points of damage done to their Life Points. When a winner is decided, the Duel Runner of the defeated duelist shuts down automatically. Normally, Turbo Duels are played with the Duel Runners on auto-pilot. However, they may be switched to manual mode for a more risky duel, or if more maneuverability is required, and a race to pass a corner first often decides who starts. Also, Shadow Duels may be played in manual mode in order to dodge life-threatening attacks such as those inflicted by the Earthbound Gods. In the manga, Speed World and Speed Spells are not used.
The Duel Runner features the card platform, sitting in front of the duelist, a stand for the cards in hand, which allows the duelist to ride with one hand while using the cards with the other, and a compartment for the deck located in the player's wrist. Cards sent to graveyard are inserted in a slot also located in front of the duelist. In some Duel Runner models (called hybrid models), the card platform can be detached from the bike and function as a standard Duel Disk for old-fashioned duels. An example of a hybrid model is Yusei's red Duel Runner. Other models such as Crow's Blackbird have been modified to include different formations such as a flight mode. In the third season, Leo and Luna use Duel Boards, Energy powered skate-boards that connect to their Duel Disks and allow them to Turbo Duel. Unlike normal Duel Runners which automatically has Speed World and Speed World 2 integrated, they must insert the raw card into their Field Spell Card Zone. Because of how the Duel Board is designed, it is significantly slower than the motorcycle based Duel Runner.
In the third season, Turbo Duels use an upgraded version of Speed World, called Speed World 2. On top of using Speed Spells, Speed Counters can be traded in for effects such as damaging the opponent or drawing an extra card. Also, counters are no longer lost when taking damage. New Domino City has built specific lanes dedicated to Turbo Duels, that separate themselves from the regular traffic when a duel is activated. The duel is called off if the lanes become damaged.
In the original Japanese language version, Duel Runners are called "D-Wheels", and Turbo Duels are known as "Riding Duels". Previews for an episode where a Turbo Duel would take place often ends with the phrase, "Riding Duel, Acceleration!" This phrase is also often used at the beginning of a Turbo Duel in the third season.
A Dragon birthmark is a special mark that indicates that a person is a Signer, each birthmark represents a part of the Crimson Dragon. The five marks of the Crimson Dragon are the Head, Wings, Foreclaw, Hindclaw, and the Tail. These birthmarks react when a Dark Signer is near, or has initiated a duel nearby. Some Signers have abilities or powers that may or may not be related to the marks; for example, Akiza believes the "wretched mark" is why damage from her Duel Monsters becomes actual physical damage, despite other psychic duelists' lack of such a mark. Luna is able to travel to the Realm of Duel Monster Spirits, where her Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, rules. All Signers can produce a barrier that can protect people from occurrences such as the mass soul sacrifice of an Earthbound Immortal summon. When strong emotions run through a Signer during a duel, the power of all the birthmarks is temporarily transferred to the Signer, and the tuner monster 'Majestic Dragon' (Japanese Version: Savior Dragon) appears in their deck, allowing them to make their Dragon more powerful. So far, Yusei and Jack are the only two Signers confirmed to be able to use Majestic Dragon. Furthermore, whenever the five Signers are gathered together, it is possible for the Crimson Dragon to appear. It may also appear under other extenuating circumstances, such as two Signers dueling each other even when the other Signers are not present (e.g., Jack and Yusei somehow summon the Crimson Dragon in Episode 5, in spite of their being the only two Signers in the immediate vicinity).
The 5 Signers (English Version: Sign-er; Japanese Version: Sig-ner)
Yusei Fudo (不動 遊星, Fudō Yūsei?): Initially has the Crimson Dragon Tail Birthmark. He gains Rex (originally Roman's) Goodwin's Crimson Dragon Head Birthmark after defeating Rex.
Jack Atlas (ジャック・アトラス, Jakku Atorasu?, Jack Atlus): Crimson Dragon Wings Birthmark
Akiza Izinski ({{nihongo|Aki Izayoi|十六夜 アキ|Izayoi Aki}): Crimson Dragon Foreclaw Birthmark
Luna (Luca (龍可, Ruka?)) Crimson Dragon Hindclaw Birthmark.
Crow Hogan (Crow (クロウ, Kurō?)): Received the mark when he teamed with Yusei to defeat Goodwin.
Their rivals are the Dark Signers. There are two kinds, those who are true Dark Signers after being resurrected from death, and those that are temporarily possessed into becoming one (called Shadow Drones in the dub). Dark Spiders land on people and attach themselves onto their neck, giving a person a spider shaped birthmark and infusing him/her temporarily with dark powers, and giving them Dark Tuner and Dark Synchro monsters. They can initiate Shadow Duels, in which a fiery barrier is formed around their opponent, and monsters cause real-life damage with their attacks. However, once a possessed Dark Signer is defeated, the person has no memory of being a Dark Signer and all influence by the spider birthmark is removed. As of Episode 27 they have taken over Dick Pitt, a Satellite Street Fighter whom Carly identified, as well as Officer Trudge.
A true Dark Signer possesses much stronger powers than the temporary ones, with a specific birthmark based on the Nazca lines.The marks are the Condor, Spider, Giant, Lizard, Hummingbird, Whale, and Monkey.They become Dark Signers after being revived from the brink of death by an evil spirit, and they are recognizable by their black eyes, dark markings on their face and their dark clothes, though it is possible for them to change their appearance to hide their identity. While possessed Dark Signers can form a small barrier around their opponent, a true Dark Signer can produce a huge geoglyph of their respective birthmark, big enough to have a Turbo Duel in. As well as Dark Synchro Monsters, the Dark Signers possess powerful monsters known as the Earthbound Immortals (Earthbound Gods or jibakushin in the Japanese), that require the sacrifice of many human souls to summon and are based on their respective birthmarks. They either gather these from inside the Geoglyph, or from areas where they have previously sealed spirits, but the spirits return when they are defeated. Each Earthbound Immortal is at level 10.
There are currently 7 Dark Signers:
Roman Goodwin (Rudger Godwin (ルドガー・ゴドウィン, Rudogā Godowin?)), the leader of the Dark Signers, with Uru, the Spider Nazca Line Birthmark and original owner of the Crimson Dragon Head Birthmark (defeated by Yusei).
Kalin Kessler (Kyosuke Kiryu (鬼柳 京介, Kiryū Kyōsuke?)), a member who was once a friend and a big brother figure to Yusei and leader of The Enforcers ("Team Satisfaction" in the Japanese; made up of Crow, Jack, and Yusei, with Kalin as the leader), with Ccapac Apu, the "Spaceman" Nazca Line Birthmark (defeated by Yusei).
Devack (Demak (ディマク, Dimaku?)) a member who strongly detests Signers, with Cusillu, the Monkey Nazca Line Birthmark (defeated by Leo and Luna).
Misty Tredwell (Misty Lola (ミスティ・ローラ, Misuti Rōra?)), a member who holds a grudge against the Black Rose for the disappearance of her brother, with Ccarayhua, the Lizard Nazca Line Birthmark (defeated by Akiza).
Carly Carmine (Carly Nagisa (カーリー渚, Kārī Nagisa?)), who was killed when psychic duelist Sayer threw her out a window in a psychic duel. Carley was revived as a Dark Signer with Aslla Piscu, the Hummingbird Nazca Line Birthmark and shares a mutual attraction to Jack (defeated by Jack).
Greiger (Bommer (ボマー, Bomā?)), who became a Dark Signer after Devack was defeated. Greiger's motive is revenge against Rex, whom he believes to have destroyed his village. Greiger possesses Chacu Challhua the Whale Nazca Line Birthmark (defeated by Crow).
Rex Goodwin (レクス・ゴドウィン, Rekusu Godowin?), threw the match against Roman in order to become "the ultimate god," calling on the power of the Earthbound Immortals to possess him. Rex possesses Wiraqocha Rasca, the Condor Nazca Line Birthmark. He also controls the full birthmark of the Crimson Dragon (defeated by Crow, Jack, and Yusei, with Yusei dealing the final blow).
Duels involving Dark Signers invoke physical damage, similar to Psychic Duelists' duels, but to a greater extent. In addition, both the Dark Signer and the opponent can cause such damage (in Psychic duels, only the psychic duelists themselves have this power). Unlike duels against possessed Dark Signers, losing a true Shadow Duel causes the losers to turn to dust. When a Dark Signer loses a duel, all the souls used for the summoning of their Earthbound Immortal, as well as non-Dark Signers who have lost in Shadow Duels, are freed. The Dark Signers also have the ability to swap out with one of their captives. Unlike possessed Dark Signers, the hostages are fully conscious and have to duel in order to survive. After Yusei defeats Rex, he and his brother, Roman, pass on to the afterlife while the other Dark Signers are revived and restored to their normal selves.

Main article: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episodes
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's began airing on TV Tokyo from April 2, 2008, following the end of the previous series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. As with the previous two series (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX), this series has been acquired by 4Kids Entertainment for broadcasting and began airing in the United States in September 2008.[2] It began airing on The CW4Kids, starting from September 13, 2008 and was later moved to Cartoon Network. Like the previous two series, changes have been made to the plot, cards, localized character names, as well as edits to violent scenes.
A manga series based on the show written by Satou Masashi began serialization in V-Jump Monthly Magazine from August 2009. Like the manga adaptation of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, the adaptation features an original storyline, different monsters, and various differences from the anime version.
There are several videogames developed by Konami based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's franchise.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Wheelie Breakers is a racing game for the Wii console in which players can use cards to lower other people's life points and overtake them. Unlike the card game, monsters use Speed Counters in order to attack their opponents, and players don't lose if their life points hits zero, rather they spin out before they can continue racing. Characters ride in Duel Runners, whilst those without them use holographic versions. The Promotional cards are Skull Flame, Burning Skull Head and Supersonic Skull Flame. The game was released in Japan on March 26, 2009, North America on May 19, 2009 and Europe on September 18, 2009.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator for the Nintendo DS is more representative of the trading card game, continuing the World Championship series of games. The game uses World Championship 2009 software, and also features a story mode, in which a duelist tries to get his memory back, though it more or less follows a similar plot to the first season. The Promotional Cards are Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Dwarf and Infernity Guardian. The game was released in Japan on March 26, 2009, Europe on May 15, 2009 and North America on May 19, 2009.[4].
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4, for the PSP and PSP Go systems, is the fourth game in the Tag Force series. The game also features the Dark Synchro and Dark Tuner monsters from the 2nd season of the anime. The game was released on September 17, 2009 in Japan[5] and will be released in North America and Europe in November 2009. The Promotional Cards are Warm Worm, Worm Bait, Regret Reborn.[6] GameZone's Louis Bedigian gave it a 7.5/10 saying "Another fun addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Just don't expect anything you haven't seen before."[7]
Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's :World Championship 2010 - Reverse of Arcadia for Nintendo DS, which follows on from Stardust Accelerator. Set during the Dark Signers arc, the player controls a former member of the Enforcers who has been brainwashed by the Arcadia movement. The promotional cards are Stygian Security, Samurai Sword Baron and Stygian Sergeants. It was released in Japan on February 18, 2010, North America on February 23, 2010 and will be released in Europe on March 26, 2010.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Duel Transer is currently in production for the Nintendo Wii system. Over 3,900 cards will be included in the game, and the game will feature Wi-Fi to enable the dueling with players around the world. No release date has been set.[8]
A 3D movie, Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie: Super Fusion! Bonds that Transcend Time, was released in Japanese theatres on January 23, 2010. It features Yusei travelling back in time and teaming up with Yugi Muto and Jaden Yuki to defeat a new enemy named Paradox.

Secret Of Five
Though "5D's" stands for "5 Dragons", it has been incorrectly quoted as standing for "5 Duel Scoop." V-Jump magazine printed a feature in its "Yu-Gi-Oh! Ōkoku" (Yu-Gi-Oh! Kingdom) series in which "5DS" (without the apostrophe) was labeled as "5 Duel Scoop," with "scoop" referring to the information within the feature itself. Merchandise, television commercials, the logo itself, and other references all state the name as "Faibu Diizu". ICv2 News also has the name "5 Duel Scoop" incorrectly listed in its 4Kids article.[2] In the 4Kids version, 5D's stands for 5 Dimensions, and is labeled when televised in the UK as such. The real meaning of the title is revealed when the signers and their friends take part in the World Turbo Duel Grand Prix as "Team 5D's" in allusion to the five dragon cards owned by them.
