Perfumezoneblog – Love The Skin You're In: Here's How!
Having nice skin is not only reserved for famous people. It is possible for you to have healthy, glowing skin. There are many ways this can be achieved. Study these methods to find out which ones will work for you and your skin. You can begin your research here by reading about some of the methods.
TIP! To ensure that you do have good skin, make sure you get enough time outdoors. Try walking to the park on your lunch break or simply standing outdoors for a while each day.
Do not shave dry skin. Also try to use shaving cream when shaving to keep your skin moist. Irritation can occur when you shave dry skin, causing razor burn and ingrown hairs. After you shave, use a lotion on your skin. This helps soothe any irritation and moisturizes your skin.
To enjoy healthy skin, control your levels of stress. If you have a high level of stress, it can make your skin more sensitive, and this will usually lead to a breakout. If you manage the stress levels in your life, your are giving your skin the opportunity to glow.
If you are experiencing acne, try daubing on some apple cider vinegar. Although the smell is quite strong, this treatment will moisturize the area making it easier for the blemish to heal. This should be done during the day so that you do not get the odor of the apple cider on your bedding while you sleep.
TIP! If you want to further protect your skin from the sun, try eating pomegranates or taking them in pill form. These pills can build up sun resistance and help you get a tan instead of a sunburn.
Use hypoallergenic skincare products that are unscented since artificial ingredients can harm the skin. Also, don't use lotions with alcohol in them. Check out the ingredients before you buy. Don't waste money on any that list alcohol or fragrances.
Apply sunscreen on your face with a sponge instead of your hands. The sponge helps your skin to absorb the sunscreen better. This method is also helpful in getting rid of that sticky feeling that is often left when you put too much sunscreen on your face.
TIP! If you regularly wear sunglasses or prescription glasses, clean them once a week or more. It is common for the nose bridge to get clogged due to glasses.
Skin is what you are made of, so treat it with care. It's an organ! The largest you have. Therefore, health of your skin directly impacts your body. By caring for yourself, you will have beautiful skin.
If you have greasy skin, choose products specifically made for this condition; they will keep the oil away and help you to look better overall. Keep your face clean and oil-free by incorporating toner into your face cleansing routine. Some moisturizers are made specifically for oily skin and can reduce the appearance of oil on your skin.
TIP! Whenever you wash your hands, or even give them a soap-free rinse, they lose some vital moisture in the process. Each time your hands get wet, moisturize them by applying moisturizing cream once they are dry.
Make sure you read the label on sunscreen before you buy. All sunscreen does not have the same ingredients. An effective sunscreen that protects your skin from UV rays should include one or more broad-spectrum ingredient like zinc oxide, avobenzone or titanium dioxide. You need to also search the label for things that may make your skin irritated.
TIP! Believe it or not, getting enough rest every night will contribute to healthier skin. One of the fastest way to develop wrinkles around your eyes is by not getting enough sleep.
Caring for your skin will not only make it look better, but it will be healthier as well. It is important to have patience and be dedicated to your routine. Just make sure to follow your skin care regimen daily. Experiment with these ideas, and other practices that you read about. You will soon see the results of a good skin care program in the form of radiant, healthy skin.

EnochThe text of the Book of Genesis says Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" (Gen 5:21–24), which is interpreted as Enoch's entering Heaven alive in some Jewish and Christian traditions.
You may be surprised to discover that of all the people mentioned in the Bible, only three—Enoch, Noah, and Levi— are explicitly said to have walked with God. Genesis chapters 5 and 6 and Malachi 2 contain the account of these three men's walk with God.

American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meetings are valuable for the development of undergraduate researchers but can be overwhelming for first-time attendees. To orient and engage students with the range of offerings at an ACS meeting, we developed a cloud-based scavenger hunt. Using their mobile devices, teams of undergraduates "scavenged" items off a list by uploading "selfies" to designated folders within Google Drive, a cloud-based storage system. Time stamps offered by the cloud afforded real-time evidence of student participation. Items on the scavenger hunt were designed to integrate undergraduates into the meeting, exposing them to distinguished scientists, leading publishers, and instrument manufacturers as well as to networking opportunities. We employed this selfie-based scavenger hunt at three ACS National Meetings (Philadelphia, 2012; Boston, 2015; Philadelphia, 2016). Students reported that the scavenger hunt contributed to their learning. The cloud-based scavenger hunt is versatile and can be easily adapted for other constituencies (e.g., high school or international students) or events (e.g., regional meetings or first-year orientations).

South Korean consumer electronics maker LG is all set to debut its G8 ThinQ smartphone at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2019, that is scheduled to begin on February 25. The company has officially confirmed this and has also said that its upcoming LG G8 ThinQ smartphone will come with a 3D front camera. The technology company has partnered with German chipmaker Infineon so that it can add the Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology to its front camera setup.
We should mention that with this technology, the front camera of the smartphone will get support for 3D facial recognition and will be able to use enhanced bokeh effect on selfies. The technology will also let a number of augmented reality apps run on the device. According to LG, the G8 ThinQ smartphone will have a "unique and secure verification system without sacrificing camera capabilities". So, we can expect it to compete directly with the iPhone X models and the Samsung Galaxy S10 lineup.
In its press release, LG has said that the smartphone will not come with a traditional image sensor, but instead, it will feature an Infineon Real 3 sensor chip, that will, in turn, enable the 3D selfie camera experience on the device. The ToF image sensor chip that the company will use has algorithms developed by PMD Technologies that will process 3D point clouds.
The sensor chip is also said to deliver a "new level of front camera capability". The chip basically throws an infrared light on the subject so that it can be recognised by the camera in 3D form. Furthermore, the sensor of the smartphone does not rely on environmental lighting, so the image recognition rate is more advanced than what we generally see on other devices.


In 2018, the press was able to relay massive political events in Armenia to their audiences.
There are already first signs that show that the media is changing in the new situation. The demands, expectations and competition have changed.
What can we expect for 2019? How will the media change? What trends of development will emerge? Our partners talk about this.
I think that in the coming year, television and radio companies will be exposed to the impact of two key factors. The first factor is the Velvet Revolution which liberated broadcasters from the shadow government of the authorities ad enabled them to freely implement editorial and broadcasting policies. And the second is the digitization of all types of media, carriers and content, which significantly increases the number of TV channels and programs offered to the consumer, and aggravates competition. If four years ago, no cable carrier had a private TV program (all were either foreign or domestic broadcasting programs), today's cable carriers already broadcast 31 TV programs of their own.
Therefore, the broadcasters whose group, real or shady owners will ignore the "digital" factor and the "doors" which opened up in the face of electronic media after the events in May, will lose the audience and advertising revenue sooner or later.
I think that in 2019 there will be significant changes in the field of electronic media. Changes will be made in the Law on Television and Radio that will reflect the rapid changes in digital media and the democratization process in the country. I do not exclude that one or two TV companies operating in the digital multiplex will refuse the license next year. The positions in the market will strengthen for those TV and radio companies that produce quality, unique and demanded content. And they have already begun. Several radio stations broadcast online program imagery, a policy of interactive programs are being carried out etc. Some TV companies offer specialized, so-called "standalone" programs to the audience with cable networks.
In short, rapid changes, media socialization, the ability to act in the conditions of freedom of speech, interactive television and radio, diversity of television programs and competition for the audience; these are the trends and tendencies for 2019.
Several media outlets, as well as social media, have greatly contributed to the movement and revolution in 2018. Media outlets reporting on corruption, abuses, and misconceptions for years on end have been walking with the revolution.
In 2019, the media will challenge the revolutionary government to keep its activities under an alert and transparent magnifying glass.
Many civil society and media outlets are in power. The media should not be shy about the fact that some of its pieces have appeared on the other field, and it must fulfill its traditional and important role.
The mass media which was sponsored by the former authorities have been added to the field. They will continue to exploit the government's activities by all means, serving the interest of their owners. It is important that independent and healthy media counterbalance such information and "fake" news with honest and impartial news.
I have both positive and negative predictions. One of the positive trends is that TV companies will seek to enter the internet space to compete with "classical" online media, which will ultimately benefit the consumer.
And the negative forecast or my fears is that 2019 will be a year of fake information, manipulation, unofficial websites, unknown Facebook users and pages. Already today we can see how some forces, taking advantage of the majority of society, using completely unclean methods of getting information, can successfully mislead and trigger scandals. This tactic will be maintained and will develop, making people turn against some, including conscientious media and journalists.
I think 2019 will be a transitional year for local media. I mean, there will be changes that are directly or indirectly linked to the political situation in Armenia in 2018 and the expected economical changes in 2019. At the same time these changes will also be made due to the developments in digital technologies.
Competitive media will be those that take the new demands of their audiences into account.
It will be a difficult year for the media. Especially those media that have had stable financial support during the time of the previous authorities rule.
Although major players in the media sector are apparently trying to influence the old rules of the game, they are of a temporary nature, because they have low efficiency and are costly. Everyone needs to find time and review their work, taking into account external and internal challenges.
This great mass of fake users will fall sharply, but false news will be an urgent problem in the media industry.
I look forward to the liberation of TV, the transition of more quality online channels towards TV. I look forward to the growth of specific media projects. I look forward to more effective, open and transparent cooperation between journalists, civil society and government agencies to create more quality, clear affordable and useful content, which our audience deserves.
The important trends in Armenian media in 2018 are largely related to the April revolution in Armenia. The acting government, continuing to use traditional tools of communication, Facebook live broadcasting, Telegram channels etc., affects journalistic content delivery formats. Moreover, Facebook live has also begun broadcasting on TV.
Interest towards fact checking will continue to remain relevant. Rapidly developing political events in Armenia have created this demand.
This year, interest towards major multimedia formats has increased in Armenian media, which gives a deeper insight into the topic and involves the readers in the story.
One of the largest and global trends in 2019 and during the next few years will be the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the media. Experts call it not a trend, rather a whole new era that allows for the creation of automated news. Such news is already being used by the Associated Press, Forbes, ProPublica, The Los Angeles times and other media outlets. However, the use of Artificial Intelligence brings with it not only new approaches to content creation and consumption, but also new ethical and legal issues.
The coming year will become a period of adaptation to the new situation created by the political changes of the past year for the Armenian media. The media has a task to find its new place and role in the media market, to be rearranged and to find a new voice. Such dramatic changes are particularly harsh for established and large media. At the same time, opportunities are being created for smaller, more dynamic and innovative media.
In the context of news content, it is expected that the interest will increase towards more narrow, thematic news, and the broader consumers will become increasingly oriented towards the audience, the journalist, the independent meda. In other words, the audience will focus more on their favorite hostess or journalist regardless of what media outlet they are representing.

Viewer's Guide to Hybrid Solar Eclipse April 8
By Joe Rao
Residents in parts of the United States will have a chance to watch the Moon partially eclipse the Sun on Friday, April 8. Within a very narrow corridor that extends for about 8,800 miles, the disks of the Sun and the Moon will appear to exactly coincide, setting up the most unusual type of eclipse known as a hybrid.
Solar eclipses are caused when Earth, the Moon and the Sun line up just right and the Moon casts a shadow on our planet.
On rare occasions, the Moon is at such a distance from the Earth that its pointed shadow is just long enough to touch Earth for only a short distance along its projected path. The eclipse is only total where the shadow actually intersects the Earth's surface; at other points along the eclipse track, the Moon appears ever-so-slightly too small to obscure the Sun's face entirely.
From these places an annulus, or ring of the Sun's surface, remains to be seen, thus there is an annular eclipse. In essence, this is really nothing more than a fancy partial eclipse.
The effect is like a dark penny atop a shiny nickel. The Sun becomes a blazing ring of light at maximum effect.
What you won't see
The path of the central eclipse (where the phenomena of annularity-totality may be observed) first touches the Earth in the south Pacific Ocean at 18:54 GMT, just to the south and east of the South Island of New Zealand. The eclipse starts off as annular, with the Moon covering all but 8/10 of a percent of the Sun's disk, leaving only an exceedingly thin, and rapidly narrowing ring of sunlight shining at maximum effect.
Ten minutes later, at 19:04 GMT, the tip of the Moon's dark umbra strikes the Earth about 1,400 miles south of Tahiti, and the eclipse becomes total. No Pacific islands of any appreciable size falls within this narrow path of totality.
Traveling northeast across the vast expanse of the south Pacific, the duration of the total eclipse gradually increases, with the greatest eclipse, featuring all of 42 seconds of a glorious totality, occurring at 20:34 GMT, far out over inaccessible open ocean waters. The totality path will be less than 17 miles wide at this point. The magnitude of the eclipse is 1.007, which means the Moon completely covers the Sun and 0.007 of a Sun-width more.
The total phase then diminishes and the totality track narrows as it nears its end, the path then turning toward the east. At 22:00 GMT, about 500 miles due north of the Galapagos Islands, the tip of the Moon's shadow can no longer reach to the Earth's surface, so the Moon can no longer completely cover the Sun. Thus, it morphs back into an annular eclipse.
The thread of this annular eclipse path makes its first landfall in Central America, at the border of Costa Rica and Panama, over Panama's Azuero Peninsula, barely skimming the southern outskirts of the Panamanian City of David, as well as sweeping over the coastal town of Pedregal.
Interestingly, the silhouette of the Moon is not a perfect circle, but rather it is slightly prickly with mountains, which are relatively much higher than those on Earth.
So just before the transition from annular to total and later, just after the transition from total back to annular, the eclipse will become something neither annular nor total: it will be a broken annular. As lunar mountains protrude onto the hairline-thin ring of the Sun, it will be seen not as an unbroken ring but an irregular, changing, sparkling sequence of arcs, beads and diamonds very briefly encircling the Moon: a "diamond necklace" effect! This is a spectacle that viewers in the Panama and possibly Costa Rica might see.
The path then quickly slides across the base of the isthmus where Central joins to South America, then over the Gulf of Uraba; and on into northern Colombia and central Venezuela before finally coming to an end at local sunset, at 22:18 GMT.
Parts of North America will see this as a partial solar eclipse. However, there will also be locations that will see nothing of this eclipse.
Partial eclipse: The Moon covers only part of the Sun.
Total eclipse: The Moon covers the entire disk of the Sun along a narrow path across the Earth.
Annular eclipse: The Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun. A thin ring of the Sun's disk surrounds the Moon.
If you have an atlas of the United States, draw a line starting from a point roughly from Imperial Beach, California and extend it northeast to Quincy, Illinois, and then east to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. All places above (or north) of this line will not have any view of the eclipse.
Meanwhile, those localities below (or south) of the line will be able to see at least a part of this eclipse near sunset, although for those places in the immediate vicinity of this line, the Moon's "bite" out of the lower edge of the Sun will be tantalizingly small.
For example, while the eclipse will not be visible from New York City, just 85 miles to the southwest, at Philadelphia, the edge of the Moon's dark silhouette will appear to encroach upon the Sun at 6:07 p.m. ET. Twelve minutes later, maximum eclipse will be attained, with the Moon only obscuring about 2 percent of the Sun's diameter (or just three-tenths of one percent of the total area of the Sun's disk). The "eclipse" -- if we can charitably call it that - will come to an end at 6:32 p.m. ET.
As one heads farther south, the eclipse will last longer and this slight dent will evolve into a more noticeable scallop out of the Sun's left rim.
From Washington, D.C., the eclipse will last 41 minutes, with just over 5 percent of the Sun's diameter covered at 6:19 p.m. ET. Continuing southward, from Raleigh, North Carolina, the eclipse will last 69 minutes from start to finish, the Moon covering a maximum of 15 percent of the Sun's diameter at 6:20 p.m. ET.
Along the Gulf Coast, the eclipse will last about 2? hours; prospective observers will see anywhere from about 30 to 40 percent coverage, while for those in the Florida Keys, it will be a nearly three hour affair, with the Moon appearing to obscure about half of the Sun's disk.
From San Juan, Puerto Rico, nearly 68 percent of the Sun's diameter will be eclipsed, maximum eclipse coming at 6:22 p.m. AST. Eighteen minutes later, the Sun will drop down below the west-northwest horizon, making for a most unusual sunset!
For full prediction details for many cities are available from NASA.
In addition, NASA astronomer Fred Espenak has a website dedicated to the upcoming April 8 solar eclipse which contains maps, tables and additional prediction details.
Caution: Don't Look at the Sun
To look at the Sun without proper eye protection is dangerous.
Unlike a total eclipse of the Sun, concentrating its excitement into a few fleeting minutes, a partial eclipse can be watched in a relaxed manner from wherever one happens to be. Providing proper protection is employed, bservations can be made with or without telescopes or binoculars. However, looking at the Sun is harmful to your eyes at anytime, partial eclipse or no. Most people are under the mistaken impression that when a solar eclipse is in progress that there is something especially insidious about the Sun's light.
But the true danger that an eclipse poses is simply that it may induce people to stare at the Sun, something they wouldn't normally do. The result can be "eclipse blindness," a serious eye injury that has been recognized at least since the early 1900's. About half of the reported victims of eclipse blindness recover their precious quality of eyesight after a few days or weeks. The other half carries a permanent blurry or blind spot at the center of their vision for the rest of their lives.
Public warnings by news media have vastly reduced solar eye injuries at eclipses in the last few decades. After the solar eclipse that crossed the United States on March 7, 1970, no fewer than 245 cases of retinal injury were reported. Of these people, 55 percent suffered permanent impairment of vision. In contrast, after the solar eclipse of May 30, 1984, Sky & Telescope magazine was able to locate only three cases of eclipse blindness in the entire United States. During any direct observation of the eclipse, your eye or must be protected by dense filters from the intense light and heat of the focused solar rays.
By far, the safest way to view a solar eclipse is to construct a "pinhole camera." A pinhole or small opening is used to form an image of the Sun on a screen placed about three feet behind the opening. Binoculars or a small telescope mounted on a tripod can also be used to project a magnified image of the Sun onto a white card. Just be sure not to look through the binoculars or telescope when they are pointed toward the Sun!
A variation on the pinhole theme is the "pinhole mirror." Cover a pocket-mirror with a piece of paper that has a ?-inch hole punched in it. Open a Sun-facing window and place the covered mirror on the sunlit sill so it reflects a disk of light onto the far wall inside. The disk of light is an image of the Sun's face. The farther away from the wall is the better; the image will be only one inch across for every 9 feet from the mirror. Modeling clay works well to hold the mirror in place. Experiment with different-sized holes in the paper. Again, a large hole makes the image bright, but fuzzy, and a small one makes it dim but sharp. Darken the room as much as possible. Be sure to try this out beforehand to make sure the mirror's optical quality is good enough to project a clean, round image. Of course, don't let anyone look at the Sun in the mirror.
Acceptable filters for unaided visual solar observations include aluminized Mylar. Some astronomy dealers carry Mylar filter material specially designed for solar observing. Also acceptable is shade 14 arc-welder's glass, available for just a few of dollars at welding supply shops. It also used to be widely advertised that two layers of fully exposed and developed black-and-white negative film was safe. This is still true but only if the film contains an emulsion of silver particles. But beware: some black-and-white films now use black dye, which is no longer safe. It is always a good idea to test your filters and/or observing techniques before eclipse day.
Unacceptable filters include sunglasses, color film negatives, black-and-white film that contains no silver, photographic neutral-density filters, and polarizing filters. Although these materials have very low visible-light transmittance levels, they transmit an unacceptably high level of near-infrared radiation that can cause a thermal retinal burn. The fact that the Sun appears dim, or that you feel no discomfort when looking at the Sun through the filter, is no guarantee that your eyes are safe.
The next solar eclipse will occur Oct. 3 this year. It will be an annular solar eclipse with a maximum duration of just over 4? minutes that will sweep across the Iberian Peninsula and stretches across the African Continent. Madrid, Spain finds itself directly in the center of the annular eclipse track and will see the mid-morning Sun turn into a blazing ring of fire for over four minutes.
But the next solar eclipse visible over a large swath of North America won't come until May 20, 2012, when the path of an annular solar eclipse passes across portions of eight southwestern states.

This theory covers some of the causes of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). It is not an alternative ADHD theory, but rather a complimentary theory.
Psychology drifted towards focusing on biological-neurological aspects of mental states in the seventies, with pharmalogical cures. This drift intensified during the last ten to fifteen years. The result is that neurologically focused tunnel vision has prevented an open debate on the causes of ADHD.
The research papers I have scanned are with few exceptions, based on a limited assumption and are very narrowly focussed on a small aspect of the ADD condition. This leads to errors in the interpretations of results from badly designed research studies.
One example is the debate on food coloring and hyperactive behavior. A British study supports this claim, but the consensus still denies this, mainly because of a belief that neurotransmitters are the only answer. Another example is Aspartame, which can attention deficit symptoms according to the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). This is by a statistical trick. If 1% of children in a study are allergic to Aspartame and there are 100 children in a study, and 1% show a response to Aspartame, then this is considered not statistically relevant. But for the children who react to Aspartame, there is a 100% response factor.
The majority of research studies are designed to study one or a few factors, but ADHD can be caused my many environmental, genetic and developmental factors, which cannot be picked up in these relatively simple research projects. The reserchers are looking for one cause of one disorder, while ADHD is mostly a limited range of symptoms from many causes, none of which influence 100% of a studied group of children.
We all have a unique metabolism. We react to what we eat differently. Some people cannot have an afternoon cup of coffee or they will stay awke at night, while others can go to Starbucks for their nightcap. Some people can eat chocolates without putting on weight, while most of us need to restrict our diet of chocolate. Some people have a chocolate allergy and show ADHD symptoms from chocolate.
Among the environmental factors that cause ADHD like symptoms are insecticides, herbicides, household cleaners, manganese, mercury, aluminium, monosodium glutamate, dust mites, fungus infection, as well as from many allergies.

Raphael led a "nomadic" life, working in various centres in Northern Italy, but spent a good deal of time in Florence, perhaps from about 1504. Although there is traditional reference to a "Florentine period" of about 1504–8, he was possibly never a continuous resident there. He may have needed to visit the city to secure materials in any case. There is a letter of recommendation of Raphael, dated October 1504, from the mother of the next Duke of Urbino to the Gonfaloniere of Florence: "The bearer of this will be found to be Raphael, painter of Urbino, who, being greatly gifted in his profession has determined to spend some time in Florence to study. And because his father was most worthy and I was very attached to him, and the son is a sensible and well-mannered young man, on both accounts, I bear him great love…"
As earlier with Perugino and others, Raphael was able to assimilate the influence of Florentine art, whilst keeping his own developing style. Frescos in Perugia of about 1505 show a new monumental quality in the figures which may represent the influence of Fra Bartolomeo, who Vasari says was a friend of Raphael. But the most striking influence in the work of these years is Leonardo da Vinci, who returned to the city from 1500 to 1506. Raphael's figures begin to take more dynamic and complex positions, and though as yet his painted subjects are still mostly tranquil, he made drawn studies of fighting nude men, one of the obsessions of the period in Florence. Another drawing is a portrait of a young woman that uses the three-quarter length pyramidal composition of the just-completed Mona Lisa, but still looks completely Raphaelesque. Another of Leonardo's compositional inventions, the pyramidal Holy Family, was repeated in a series of works that remain among his most famous easel paintings. There is a drawing by Raphael in the Royal Collection of Leonardo's lost Leda and the Swan, from which he adapted the contrappostopose of his own Saint Catherine of Alexandria. He also perfects his own version of Leonardo's sfumato modelling, to give subtlety to his painting of flesh, and develops the interplay of glances between his groups, which are much less enigmatic than those of Leonardo. But he keeps the soft clear light of Perugino in his paintings.
Leonardo was more than thirty years older than Raphael, but Michelangelo, who was in Rome for this period, was just eight years his senior. Michelangelo already disliked Leonardo, and in Rome came to dislike Raphael even more, attributing conspiracies against him to the younger man. Raphael would have been aware of his works in Florence, but in his most original work of these years, he strikes out in a different direction. His Deposition of Christ draws on classical sarcophagi to spread the figures across the front of the picture space in a complex and not wholly successful arrangement. Wöllflin detects in the kneeling figure on the right the influence of the Madonna in Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, but the rest of the composition is far removed from his style, or that of Leonardo. Though highly regarded at the time, and much later forcibly removed from Perugia by the Borghese, it stands rather alone in Raphael's work. His classicism would later take a less literal direction.
In later works painted by the workshop, the drawings are often painfully more attractive than the paintings. Most Raphael drawings are rather precise—even initial sketches with naked outline figures are carefully drawn, and later working drawings often have a high degree of finish, with shading and sometimes highlights in white. They lack the freedom and energy of some of Leonardo's and Michelangelo's sketches, but are nearly always aesthetically very satisfying. He was one of the last artists to use metalpoint (literally a sharp pointed piece of silver or another metal) extensively, although he also made superb use of the freer medium of red or black chalk. In his final years he was one of the first artists to use female models for preparatory drawings—male pupils ("garzoni") were normally used for studies of both sexes.

You can say multimedia are digital movies, videos, clips, musics, etc.
Multimedia literally means more than one medium or multiple medium.
Now-a-day, video clips, digital movies and music are common way to present the information and entertainment using your computer system.
You can store your desired audio and video files and able to play it later on demand.
Audio and video files can be stored on the disk.
The characteristics of the audio and video files are very different from the traditional text files that the current file system were designed for.
Therefore, a new type of file system must be needed just to handle the audio and video files.
Storing the audio and video files and playing back on demand puts new demands on the scheduler and other parts of the OS as well.
Therefore, there is a need of designing an OS, that are also able to play the multimedia files and those operating systems are also called as multimedia operating systems.
Now-a-day, almost all the operating system can be called as multimedia operating system.

October 12, 1935 Modena - September 6, 2007 Modena
Born in Modena, Italy, Luciano Pavarotti gained his first musical experiences with his city's chorus, of which his father, Fernando, was also a member. The teenage Pavarotti and his father travelled with the "Chorus Rossini" to Wales, and went on to win first prize in the Llangollen international singing competition. This experience fired the young Pavarotti's musical ambitions for life as a tenor. He had originally trained to become a teacher, but, after first studying with Arrigo Pola and then with Ettore Campogalliani, he won the prestigious Concorso Internazionale in 1961 and made his operatic debut as Rodolfo in La Bohème at the Teatro Reggio Emilia that year.
Pavarotti's colleagues have included the most glorious stars of opera: Montserrat Caballé, Piero Cappuccilli, José Carreras, Fiorenza Cossotto, Plácido Domingo, Mirella Freni, Kiri Te Kanawa, Aprile Millo, Robert Merrill, Sherrill Milnes, Leontyne Price, Leonie Rysanek, Renata Scotto, Dame Joan Sutherland, Carol Vaness and Shirley Verrett, to name but a few. Conductors with whom Pavarotti has collaborated include Tullio Serafin (who conducted Pavarotti's first performances of Rigoletto in Palermo in 1962), Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein, Richard Bonynge, Riccardo Chailly, Carlos Kleiber, Lamberto Gardelli, Carlo Maria Giulini, Herbert von Karajan, James Levine, Lorin Maazel, Leone Maggiera, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Eugene Ormandy, Seiji Ozawa and Sir Georg Solti.
During his career, Luciano Pavarotti has appeared on the world's most important opera stages, amongst them the Metropolitan Opera (New York), Bastille (Paris), Deutsche Oper (Berlin), La Fenice (Venice), Garnier (Paris), Glyndebourne, Royal Opera House Covent Garden (London), San Carlo (Naples), La Scala (Milan), Staatsoper (Vienna), Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires) and the opera houses of Barcelona, Chicago, Florence, Hamburg, Madrid, Miami, Monte Carlo, Philadelphia, Rome, Salzburg, San Francisco, Sydney, Turin and Zurich.
Pavarotti will be forever identified with key tenor roles of such operas as Aida, Ballo in Maschera, La Bohème, L'Elisir d'Amore, La Fille du Régiment, La Traviata, Madama Butterfly, Manon Lescaut, I Pagliacci, Rigoletto, Tosca, Il Trovatore and Turandot. His recordings are constant best sellers and recordings of operas include Aida, La Bohème, Cavalleria Rusticana, Andrea Chénier, Don Carlo, L'Elisir d'Amore, Ernani, La Fille du Régiment, Norma, I Puritani, La Sonnambula, Lucia di Lammermoor, Maria Stuarda, Mefistofele, La Favorita, L'Amico Fritz, Manon Lescaut, Pagliacci, Idomeneo, I Lombardi, Macbeth, Luisa Miller, Otello, Rigoletto, Tosca, La Traviata, Il Trovatore and William Tell. Pavarotti has recorded the Verdi Requiem and the Rossini Stabat Mater and his catalogue includes many best-selling solo discs - of recitals, aria collections, Neapolitan and Italian songs and an ever-popular Christmas recording, O Holy Night. The Essential Pavarotti became the first ever classical album to reach the number one position in the UK Pop Charts, remaining there for an unprecedented 5 weeks. Since the 1990 World Cup, Nessun Dorma has become inextricably linked to both Pavarotti and football.
Luciano Pavarotti is dedicated to the development of the careers of young singers and initiated an international vocal competition in Philadelphia, a competition which has helped launch the careers of many singers. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of his career, Pavarotti invited winners to Italy for gala performances of La Bohème, resulting in an historic visit to China for performances of the opera with young singers in Beijing. To conclude the visit, Pavarotti gave the first concert ever held in the Great Hall of the People.
Pavarotti created his now world-famous annual charity concert, Pavarotti & Friends, which celebrated its tenth concert in 2003. Bringing together artists from diverse musical worlds, the great tenor has been joined by some of the best-known names in rock, pop and jazz, including Bryan Adams, Anastacia, Jon Bon Jovi, Boyzone, James Brown, George Benson, Bono and the Edge of U2, Mariah Carey, Tracey Chapman, The Chieftains, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Natalie Cole, The Corrs, Sheryl Crow, Lucio Dalla, Celine Dion, Brian Eno, Gloria Estefan, the Eurythmics, Bob Geldof, Enrique Iglesias, Elton John, Grace Jones, Tom Jones, BB King, Ricky Martin, John MacLauchlin, Meat Loaf, George Michael, Liza Minnelli, Eros Ramazzotti, Lionel Richie, Spice Girls, Sting, Barry White, Stevie Wonder and Zucchero. These charity concerts have raised millions of dollars for major medical, vocational and educational initiatives in Bosnia, Cambodia, Kosovo, Guatemala, Liberia, Tibet and for Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan, Angolan in Zambia and Iraqi.
Luciano Pavarotti has been awarded an enormous number of international accolades, including the Commendatore Cross and Grand Official Cross for services to the Italian Republic, numerous Emmy, Gramophone and Grammy Awards (including the 1998 Grammy "Legend Award"), Officer of the Légion d'Honneur, Musicares Person of the Year, Honorary degrees from the Philadelphia College of Performing Arts and the Universities of Pittsburgh, Oklahoma City, Parma, Urbino and San Martin Lima, Peru, the Ville de Paris Prize (awarded by Jacques Chirac), People's Choice Award, Kammersänger (presented by the Austrian Minister of Culture). In 1998, to celebrate the tenor's 30th anniversary at the Metropolitan Opera House, the Mayor of New York, Rudi Giuliani, proclaimed Luciano Pavarotti Day. Four years ago, Pavarotti was appointed a United Nations Messenger for Peace by Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan and, in 2001, the UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) presented the tenor with the coveted Nansen Award in recognition of helping to raise more funds for the UN refugee agency than any other private individual. In November 2001, President Gorbachev presented Luciano Pavarotti with the World Social Award in Vienna and he was recently presented with a Kennedy Center Honors Awards. In 2004, he was presented with the Eisenhower Medal and given the highest honour of the Italian community of the USA: the induction into the Italian Hall of Fame by NIAF (National Italian American Foundation). On September 4, 2007, the Italian Minister of Culture presented Pavarotti with the "Excellency in Culture Award" for his huge contribution to the spread of Italian culture and art worldwide.
In March 2004, Luciano Pavarotti gave his final performance in staged opera at New York's Metropolitan Opera House ; his last performance before a huge audience happened on the Occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin, 2006.
Maestro Luciano Pavarotti passed away in his Modena's house on September 6, 2007.

Professor in Reproductive Immuno-Biology
Email: i.m.sheldon@swansea.ac.uk
Room: Academic Office - 429
Institute of Life Science 1
Singleton Campus
Microbes and Immunity Research Theme
Professor Sheldon is interested in the fundamental mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Professor Sheldon was in clinical practice for 14 years before moving to the Royal Veterinary College in London, where he developed his research interests and was awarded his PhD in 2002. In 2006 he won a BBSRC Research Development Fellowship to move to full-time research and study fundamental questions about the biology of infection and immunity. In 2008 he was appointed to a personal Chair at Swansea University Medical School to focus full-time on research.
Professor Sheldon is interested in the general mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, and the impact of infection and innate immunity in the female genital tract. Professor Sheldon and his team explore the cellular mechanisms of innate immunity, inflammation and microbial infection that apply across species. Professor Sheldon discovered novel bacteria that cause disease of the uterus in cattle. In addition, he has uncovered mechanisms that explain how these microbes cause inflammation and tissue damage in the endometrium of the uterus, and how these process perturb the health of the ovary and the oocyte. One of the key discoveries by Professor Sheldon was that the epithelial and stromal cells of the endometrium, and granulosa cells of the ovary have roles in innate immunity. In particular they express receptors, such as Toll-like Receptors (TLRs), which detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns to induce inflammatory responses, including the production of cytokines, chemokines and prostaglandins. Furthermore, pathogen-associated molecules perturb oocyte health and development, linking bacterial infections to long-term impacts on fertility. Another area of discovery is how pore-forming toxins and other virulence factors from bacteria damage tissues, and mechanisms of tolerance to pore-forming toxins in tissues.
A clinical background coupled with exploring the basic science of host-pathogen interactions, has provided Professor Sheldon with a unique perspective. In 2013, Professor Sheldon's research was recognised by the award of FRCVS, and in 2015 he was awarded the Schofield Prize.

Air Weapons: Poland Buys Ukrainian To Avoid Russia
December 29, 2015: Poland is buying another 40 radar guided R-27R1 missiles. These are used by Poland's MiG-29 fighters. Poland wants to stock up in these missiles, especially since a growing number of older ones can no longer be refurbished and are becoming so unreliable they are useless. Normally the primary supplier of this missile is Russia, because the MiG-29 and the missiles it uses were designed by and largely built in Russia. But many Russian weapons and aircraft components were built outside what is now Russia when (before 1991) the Soviet Union still existed. Ukraine, for example had a lot of weapons factories and inherited these when the Soviet Union dissolved. Ukraine has, since the 1990s, been a second source for the R-27R1 and many other Russian weapons. If nothing else this forced Russia to keep prices and quality at reasonable levels. Because of the current aggressive stance (against Ukraine and East Europe in general) Ukraine is the preferred supplier of R-27R1s, at least for Poland.
Even so the Ukrainian R-27R1 manufacturer is required to guarantee the usability period for the R-27R1 missiles for at least 96 months (if missiles are hermetically sealed in containers) and for 60 months, once the missile is unpacked (for example used by fighters during flights). The R-27 also known (to NATO) as the AA-10 Alamo is a guided medium range, air-to-air missile that entered production in 1986 and was in service by 1990s. R-27R1 can be used on a large number of Russian designed fighters. The missile is designed to intercept and destroy hostile piloted aircraft, drone targets and cruise missiles in long-range and close-in maneuverable air fight. The R-27 missile is available in six variants:
-R-27R1 uses a semi-active radar seeker which allows destruction of air targets in adverse weather conditions at any time of day. This version requires radar to track and "paint" the target with a radar signal in order for the missile to home in on the radar signals bouncing off the target. Thus s big drawback is the need for the firing aircraft to remain involved until the missile hits the target. R-27R1 has a length of 4 meters, weighs 253 kilograms and has a range of 60 kilometers. Poland wants to buy this variant.
-R-27ER1 is an extended range version and is slightly longer (due bigger solid propellant rocket-motor section) at 4.7meters. It weighs about 350 kilograms and has a range of 90 kilometers.
-R-27T1 uses infrared (IR or "heat seeking) guidance and is fire and forget missile. It shorter (3.7 meters) and more agile than radar guided versions, weighs 245 kilograms and has a range of 50 kilometers. The T1 can be used to "silent interceptions" because IR homing is passive (no emitting radar signals which can be detected by aircraft radar warning receiver) rendering older aircraft without special missile approach warning very vulnerable. There was and still is one problem because the IR sensor can only detect the target at less than 20 kilometers. For longer range shots you have to fire the missile blindly at where you thing the target will be. As a result this is useful only at much shorter ranges at head-on engagements, however at tail-on engagements the longer range can be fully utilized.
-R-27ET1 is an extended range version of R-27T1, is 4.5 meters long, weighs about 343 kilograms and has a range of 90 kilometers.
-R-27P1 is a fire-and-forget missile with passive anti-radiation seeker which can lock on both enemy fighter radar emissions. This is making it the first anti-radiation homing air to air missile ever deployed so far. The missile is four meters long, weighs 248 kilograms and range of 78 kilometers. Despite these benefits this version has vulnerabilities. If the target aircraft turns of his radar the missile will be useless. The second one the new radar technologies which are low-probability-of-intercept solution are immune to this type of homing.
-R-27EP1 is an extended range version of R-27P1 and it is slightly longer at 4.7 meters. The missile weights about 350 kilograms and range is 110 kilometers.
Although the R-27 series is a late Cold War design, slightly predating the AIM-120A AMRAAM, it has good performance and especially the long burn variants will likely to remain in production until ramjet (very high speed) variants of the R-77 family arrive.
Polish attempts to acquire these missiles shows that Poles are willing to maintain the full scope of capabilities of the MiG-29 jet fighters. In late 2015 Ukrainian companies offered to modernize R-27 missile family for Polish fighters. -- Przemys&&22;aw Juraszek

Medical Marijuana Cultivation Legalized In Australia
March 3, 2016 by Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director Leave a Comment
Members of Australia's House and Senate approved legislation this week to amend federal law to permit for the licensed production and distribution of cannabis to qualified patients.
The measure amends the Narcotic Drugs Act of 1967 to allow "for the cultivation and production of cannabis and cannabis resin for medicinal and scientific purposes," and to authorize "a state or territory government agency to undertake [in the] cultivation and production of cannabis and [in the] manufacture of medicinal cannabis products."
Australia legalized controlled marijuana production on the anniversary of the death of Dan Haslam, who died from bowel cancer at the age of 25. His mother Lucy had spearheaded the campaign to reform Australia's marijuana laws to facilitate medicinal use and was thanked in Parliament for her efforts. Via: dansstory.com.au/#story
The move by Parliament follows recent efforts by several Australian territories to provide patients participating in clinical trials with access to the plant.
"This is an historic day for Australia and the many advocates who have fought long and hard to challenge the stigma around medicinal cannabis products so genuine patients are no longer treated as criminals," Minister for Health Sussan Ley said in a statement. "This is the missing piece in a patient's treatment journey and will now see seamless access to locally-produced medicinal cannabis products from farm to pharmacy."
Government officials will still need to develop and approve regulations for the new program before any production licenses can be issued.
Canada, Israel, and the Netherlands are among the handful of nations that presently provide federal licenses to private growers to supply medical marijuana to qualified patients. Colombia, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico are also expected to begin licensing medical marijuana manufacturing in the near future.
In 2013, Uruguay officials approved legislation authorizing the retail production and sale of cannabis to those age 18 and older. Consumers in that country are anticipated to be able to begin purchasing cannabis at state-licensed pharmacies by mid-2016.

About The Battle. Once the fighting in the Civil War began, there were several critical junctures at which a different turn of events might have affected the outcome. Those critical points are discussed on the turning point page of the site. The most famous of those turning points is Gettysburg. More than a million visitors flock to the park each year. A lengthy reenactment of the entire battle occurred when the film "Gettysburg" was created. The film was based on perhaps the most famous novel about the Civil War, Michael Shaara's "the Killer Angels." Even during the three days of the battle itself, a shift in tactics or strategies might have affected the outcome, and with that, perhaps, the outcome of the war.
The Battle of Gettysburg occurred more or less by accident. Neither General Lee nor General Meade, who took command of the Union Army of the Potomac only days before the battle, planned to fight on the edge of a sleepy little college town in Pennsylvania. Lee's victory at Chancellorsville was the springboard for his second invasion of the North; Lee was planning to move deeper into the north, perhaps capturing Gettysburg or even threatening Philadelphia. His string of successes, interrupted only by Antietam, might have ended the war in favor of the South had he been successful. Between the battles of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, however, a far less well-known battle took place at Brandy Station, where Union and Confederate cavalry fought each other to a standstill. That fact alone is worth noting, for up to that point in the war Confederate cavalry had often literally ridden rings around the Union armies. That fact alone is worth noting, for up to that point in the war Confederate cavalry had often literally ridden rings around the Union armies. But under the capable Union cavalry commander, General Alfred Pleasonton, Jeb Stuart met his match, which must have been difficult for the flamboyant "Last Cavalier" to accept.
When General Lee gave General Stuart what might have seemed ambiguous orders prior to the start of the invasion of the Pennsylvania, General Stuart was apparently in a mood to redeem n himself. He took off on an extended ride through Maryland, skirting the city of Washington, and moved along what is now the Rockville Pike towards Pennsylvania. In the course of his foray he captured a Union supply train. His cavalry troopers eventually caught up with Lee's army, but by then the battle at Gettysburg had been going on for two days. Ever since Stuart had departed days earlier, Lee had been without his eyes and ears.
Union cavalry, however, in the capable hands of General John Buford, was reconnoitering southern Pennsylvania in advance of the Union Army, which was making its way along the Baltimore Turnpike in the general direction of where Lee was believed to be. A division of A.P. Hill's Corps under the command of Henry Heth discovered the town of Gettysburg, and for reasons never completely explained (they were supposed to have been looking for shoes), his men began to advance toward the village of 4,000 inhabitants, which nevertheless happened to be the center of a number of major roadways and the site of a railroad under construction.
Seeing Heth's advancing troops, Buford decided to take them under attack. Meanwhile, knowing that he was heavily outnumbered, Buford sent a messenger back to General John Reynolds, commander of the 1st Corps of the Army of the Potomac> He told Reynolds that he had was engaged with a major portion of the Confederate Army and that Reynolds's corps should head towards Gettysburg without delay.
Neither General Lee nor General Meade was present when the fighting began on the first day at Gettysburg. Lee was drawn to the action by the sounds of fire from Heth's division and quickly sent officers forward to determine what was going on. Not having contemplated a full engagement while his army was still divided, Lee nevertheless realized the he was too heavily engaged to break off the action, so he urged his remaining divisions forward.
The two corps under Reynolds and Heth clashed on the northwestern outskirts of Gettysburg, while General Richard Ewell, now commanding Stonewall Jackson's old corps, was summoned from his advanced towards Harrisburg to join the action at Gettysburg. The arrival of Union General Oliver O. Howard's 11th Corps helped to shift the balance toward the Union, which for much of the first day of fighting was outnumbered. The Union men were driven back through the town of Gettysburg and onto some high ground to the south and east of the town—Culp's Hill and Cemetery Ridge. That's where the fighting ended the first day. Lee established himself on Seminary Ridge, a strip of high ground backed by woods on the southwest side of the town of Gettysburg. General Ewell's corps was deployed around the northeast side of Gettysburg facing Culp's Hill Part of A.P. Hill's 2nd Corps was arrayed along the northernmost segment of Seminary Ridge, and that component of Longstreet's Corps which was already on the battlefield was south of Hill's men. At least for the time being Lee seemed to have the upper hand.
It is worth mentioning here that there were seven corps in the Union Army, only three in Lee's army. The corps in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, however, were larger than those in the Army of the Potomac. Meade commanded about 100,000 soldiers, Lee about 75,000.
General Meade arrived late in the evening of the first day of fighting and called his officers together in to assess the situation. With parts of his army and supplies advancing along the Baltimore Pike from the southeast, Meade understood that defending his position on Culp's Hill was crucial. By the next morning General Slocum's XII Corps was entrenched on Culp's Hill, with Howard's XI Corps on his left flank and Winfield Scott Hancock's II Corps extending to the South along Cemetery Ridge. On Hancock's left Flank was Daniel Sickles III Corps.
Having been successful with a double envelopment at Chancellorsville by attacking the Union army on both flanks simultaneously, Lee decided to attack Meade's army in a similar manner. But Gettysburg was a different place, and leadership in the Union army had been shaken up in the month since that last battle, and perhaps more important, Stonewall Jackson was no longer Lee's top lieutenant, having been killed at Chancellorsville. Lee's instructions to General Ewell were to take Culp's Hill "if practicable," the sort of command Jackson would have taken as leaving no room for doubt. Ewell threatened the Culp's Hill position several times, coming within yards of the Union supply train, but he never broke through.
On the south end of the battlefield, General Longstreet was directed by Lee to advance on the left flank of the Union line on the southern portion of Cemetery Ridge. A crucial piece of ground, Little Round Top, was unoccupied for most of the day, and Longstreet felt that a move around to the rear of the Union line behind Round Top and Little Round Top would be more effective. Lee wanted a direct attack, and Longstreet followed Lee's orders. The details of the fighting on the second day are readily available from multiple sources and won't be covered here. Suffice it to say that neither Ewell nor Longstreet accomplished what General Lee had in mind. Most critically for the outcome of the battle, Union officer Brigadier General Warren discovered that Little Round Top was uncovered and quickly dispatched Union troops to that high ground to protect it. The famous 20th Maine held off attacks from three Alabama regiments, and at the end of the day the Union line stretched from Culp's hill to Little Round Top, with its seven corps arrayed the famous fishhook formation. The three Corps of Lee's army were arrayed from the northwest facing Culp's Hill to the South along Seminary Ridge facing the Union line across a mile or so of open ground. Thus the stage was set for the third and decisive day of the costliest battle ever fought in North America.
Perhaps realizing that to that juncture he had committed much and gained little, and that not only his Army of Northern Virginia, but the remaining southern forces were beginning to run out of resources, Lee decided to gamble on one great, bold stroke. He would attack directly into the center of the Union line, using George Pickett's fresh division, which had not been engaged in the second day, supported by additional troops from Ewell's corps. General Meade, a thoughtful if not brilliant general, concluded that Lee, having tried the flanks unsuccessfully, would probably attack the center of his line. He was correct in his assessment.
Shortly after noon on July 3rd General Lee's artillery opened up a furious barrage designed to weaken the Union defenses along Cemetery Ridge. Thus began the greatest artillery duel ever conducted in the Western Hemisphere. It is reported that as the wind shifted during the afternoon, the rumbling of the cannon could be heard as far away as both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Whether that is true or not, the smoke, fire and noise that erupted were never forgotten by the troops present that day, not to mention the citizens of the town. Because of the smoke raised, it was difficult for the Confederate gunners to determine the effectiveness of their artillery fire upon the enemy. Thus Lee's artillerymen were unaware that much of their shot was passing over the Union lines and landing in the rear, where it did considerable damage to supplies and other rear echelon elements, but had little impact on the troops who were preparing to defend against the assault.
When the smoke finally cleared General Pickett's division, some 15,000 strong, marched out of the woods to the music of regimental bands, with bayonets glistening, and arrayed themselves in an impressive line stretching along the front edge of Seminary Ridge. Union troops on Cemetery Hill were awed by the spectacle, but, still smarting from Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, they were not intimidated. Union artillery had been held in reserve in anticipation of the infantry advance, leading the Confederates to believe erroneously that it had been seriously impaired. The gunners stocked their batteries with canister shot and moved them forward into position to defend against the infantry charge.
There was no more major fighting in eastern sector in 1863. The destiny of the South was still being played out at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The Battle of Gettysburg was the largest and most famous battle of the American Civil War. Those three days in July, 1863, marked the last time that Lee's army advanced onto northern soil. When a few hundred of Lee's men broke through the Union lines on Cemetery Ridge during Pickett's charge, that was seen as the high water mark of the Confederacy. Lincoln's visit to Gettysburg in November 1863 and his delivery of his famous Gettysburg address enhanced the position of the battle and American lore, as did the fact that President and Mrs. Eisenhower retired to a farm in Gettysburg not far from the battlefield.
Whether Gettysburg was the most important battle of the Civil War is debatable; the Battle of Vicksburg, which was concluded on July 4, 1863, the day after the last day of Gettysburg, secured the Mississippi River for the Union and cut the entire western portion of the Confederacy off from further involvement. It was the first major step in what came to be known as Winfield Scott's often derided "Anaconda Plan" to surround, divide and crush the Confederacy. The final leg of that plan was completed when Sherman marched through Georgia in 1864.
But Gettysburg, located just over an hour's drive from the nation's capital and quite accessible from the great cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, has received far more attention and a great deal more tourist traffic than the city in central Mississippi. And Gettysburg was unquestionably vitally important to the cause of both sides. It might well be claimed and that what did not happen in Gettysburg was as important as what did. And the figure who was conspicuously absent during the Battle of Gettysburg, General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson, who was killed at Chancellorsville a month earlier, must be considered as crucial missing piece for General Lee, given the way that the battle was conducted.
In addition, the fact that the Confederates did not win at Gettysburg was far more critical than might be concluded from the fact that even after two the Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the war dragged on for two more years. Some historians have claimed that that fact made the Battle of Gettysburg less than and determinative; while one can only speculate what might have happened had the Confederacy defeated a Union in Gettysburg, it is not hard to imagine that the entire outcome of the war would have been different for a variety of reasons.
Gettysburg has been the subject of a huge volume of literature, a fine movie based upon the fictional work, The killer Angels, and endless articles and debates in various Civil War publications. Entire books have been written about the performance of single regiments at Gettysburg, and a book about the second day by Harry Pfanz runs to 600 pages. Troops of Boy Scouts, and students at military schools of all levels tramp the battlefields at Gettysburg every year, sometimes covering the entire ground on foot for three days. Bus loads of tourists invade the Gettysburg national military Park annually, and Gettysburg College hosts regular academic conferences dealing with the Civil War in general and Gettysburg in particular.
Visiting the battlefields in the town of Gettysburg today, although the historic parts are well protected and preserved, nevertheless gives one the impression of "Gettysburg: the Industry." That's not all bad, however, for the school children and tourists who leave their dollars in the various souvenir shops take with them books, pamphlets maps and mementos that may indeed enrich their understanding of that crucial era of an American history.
To get the full measure of the battle, a visit to Gettysburg is desirable, though not indispensable. For an addition to the fine film, Gettysburg, numerous documentaries of the battle have been produced and are widely available. The Ken Burns television series on the Civil War naturally included major segments in Gettysburg as well. To gain more insight into the battle, one needs merely to search "Gettysburg" on the web in order to find many links. The battle is also discussed in the 1863 page linked below.

Bids for Bent are accepted
Published: 7:00 AM June 23, 2004
EVERTON and Portsmouth are embroiled in a dog-fight to sign Ipswich Town striker Marcus Bent after both tabled £450,000 bids last night, writes Derek Davis.
But West Bromwich Albion are likely to offer the stiffest competition to both clubs for the hit man, who netted 10 goals in 29 appearances while on loan at struggling Leicester City last season, while Scott Dobie and Danny Dichio with five apiece were the Baggies' top scorers.
Ipswich Town named their price for the striker, who George Burley paid £3m to Blackburn in November 2002.
And Town boss Joe Royle last night confirmed Ipswich had accepted bids
Royle said: "All three clubs have asked about Marcus, and Everton and Portsmouth have both made bids in the region of £450,000.
"We have accepted the offers and it's now down to Marcus to decide where he wants to go."
10 Shocked woman finds naked burglar asleep in her bed
Bent is due back from his holiday today but it is understood that Pompey and Everton have already spoken to his agent and he is likely to discuss personal terms in the next 48 hours.
Pompey were keen to sign former Colchester United favourite Lomana Lua Lua but refused to pay the £2m that Newcastle United demanded for the Congo DR international. And after initially saying they were not prepared to pay a fee for Bent, they have changed their minds. Everton, who have also been linked with Lua Lua, would be swimming in money if they were to sell hot shot Wayne Rooney, but Moyes is looking to partner the England man with Bent, with Canadian striker Tomasz Radzinski slapping in a transfer request.
The duo could end up being supplied by Jermaine Wright, who has officially turned down an offer of a new contract at Ipswich Town and becomes a free agent next week.
Town could not match the £12,000 a week I understand Wright has been offered to play for a top-flight club.
Everton are among a handful of Premiership clubs linked with Wright, while Leeds United and Derby County have also shown an interest.
It is looking increasingly likely that Martijn Reuser will sign for Dutch club Willem II next week. Town have also lost John McGreal, who has signed for Burnley. Royle will hold off bringing in any new players until next month as the Blues bid to challenge for the newly-named Coca-Cola Championship and win promotion to the Premiership but admitted he would not be signing any players from Euro 2004.
The Town boss has been co-commentating with John Motson on England games and has been asked to return to Portugal tomorrow for the quarter-final and then the semi-finals and final if Sven-Goran Eriksson's side make it, although previous commitments may prevent him returning tomorrow.
Royle said: "We still have a lot of housekeeping to do in order to bring the wage bill down further. Things will be a bit clearer in 10 days or so when we know for sure who is here and who has gone.
"We have contingency plans and I have earmarked certain players but none from the tournament.
"If we had made it into the Premiership, going to Portugal would have been ideal for scouting but now it has just been something of a busman's holiday."
Fabian Wilnis and Chris Makin have confirmed they will sign new contracts with Ipswich next week, while Richard Naylor is almost certain to agree his new deal.
Skipper Jim Magilton has yet to give an indication on what he will do and Royle is hoping to speak to the Ulsterman today.
All players offered new contracts have until tomorrow to accept, or reject, the new deals, or the club is entitled to withdraw the offers. Players who do not sign new deals before next Wednesday when their contracts expire, become free agents, along with Alun Armstrong and Chris Bart-Williams, who were told they were no longer required.
Pre-season training starts on Monday when the whole squad is required to report. New signing Jason De Vos will meet his new team-mates although he is not likely to do any heavy running after playing in World Cup qualifiers early this month.
n Hibernian last night confirmed that Mark Venus will, as expected, be joining Tony Mowbay at Easter Road in the role of player-coach.
