The Lost City | Review
Directors: Aaron Nee and Adam Nee
Screenwriters: Oren Uziel, Dana Fox, Adam Nee, and Aaron Nee
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Daniel Radcliffe
Cinematographer: Jonathan Sela
What is this, Taken? Am I tooken? Am I sold already? Am I sold to him?
Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) in The Lost City
The age of Rom-Coms is back! Who better to lead than Rom-Com extraordinaire Sandra Bullock and well-known heart throb Channing Tatum?
In the opening act of Aaron and Adam Nee's The Lost City, Loretta (Sandra Bullock) joins book model Alan (Channing Tatum) on stage to promote her new book. Although it turns into an embarrassing yet funny moment for the both of them, it was sweet how Alan kept diverting attention from himself to Loretta. That selfless kindness is a recurring pattern throughout the film that, along with her strong pushback, made for a humorous partnership.
Alongside this kindness that crosses into to crush-territory, there are many clichés that have been overtly subverted without feeling too on-the-nose. For example, Loretta is portrayed as the intelligent hero and Alan as the damsel-in-distress. Even the sleeping in the same bed trope is rewritten to be Loretta and Alan in a hammock in the jungle, completely uncomfortable. There is a moment that I typically find unnecessary in this genre, which is when one of the lead characters describes what they're doing to make a moment seem more romantic or sensual than the actors can portray. However, not only is it swoon worthy, but it also makes certain lackluster performances and uninspired lines feel worth it.

A feel-good, lighthearted film, The Lost City does an excellent job of showcasing the chemistry between its two leads, which is ultimately the best reason to watch. The supporting cast, comprised in part by Daniel Radcliffe and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, put their all into their respective performances, making for a well-rounded ensemble. Daniel Radclife, who has seemingly taken interest in portraying rich and insane characters, brings Abigail Fairfax some much-needed life. The lines are a little bland and the character arc nothing special. But Radcliffe has a gift for making every one of his performances a joy to watch. He plays off of Sandra Bullock's performance beautifully, and their interactions are natural and entertaining. But I do wish his final scenes were less ridiculous, especially given the notion that a man capable of finding a lost city can be caught so easily.
My favorite character was Beth Hatten, portrayed by Da'Vine Joy Randolph. She is the true hero here, relentless in her support of Loretta by navigating each challenge that comes her way. Like Radcliffe, it is clear not much care was put into Beth's lines or arc, but Randolph's performance would have you thinking otherwise. She is magnetic and a comedic genius. I look forward to watching absolutely every little thing she has ever been in.
The chemistry between Bullock and Tatum and the performances from Radcliff and Randolph are top reasons to see The Lost City. But it is certainly not without issues. One of my biggest gripes is the sound design. There were many times when the sound did not match a certain movement or atmosphere of a scene. It happened enough that it was blatantly distracting. For such a fantastical plot, it is also unbelievable how lackluster the sets were, especially considering how much money was put into this film. Better sets have been made and filmed with less money, which is always impressive but definitely not impossible. The ending also left much to be desired, as it felt the writers put more care into the first two acts than the third.
Still, with all that being said, if you're looking for a good time at the movies and are in the mood to be romantic, The Lost City is a must and deserving watch.
Check out the trailer for The Lost City — in theaters now!

Chris Smalling insists there is no ill feeling between him and Lionel Messi after their collision during Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg.
Messi was left bruised and bloodied in Barca's 1-0 victory at Old Trafford after taking a blow to the face in a robust challenge from the United defender.
Smalling, though, says the two spoke after the game and assured there is no animosity.
"We spoke afterwards. We had a brief chat and shook hands," Smalling told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"He knew it was an accident. I didn't realise at the time that I'd actually caught him like that.
United travel to Barcelona on Tuesday for the second leg.


Over the years, the tradition of carving your own turkey at the Christmas table has declined. Consequently, sales of de-boned poultry have increased.
According to the leading supermarket chains in the UK, sales of boneless meat products have risen by 38% in the past year. Additionally, culinary experts believe that the skill of carving could disappear altogether within a generation.
Sainsbury's predicts a big rise in the number of turkeys sold this Christmas as crowns with the legs removed. "This year we expect to sell 40,000 Sainsbury's Taste the Difference turkey crowns, an increase of 40% compared with last Christmas," said a spokesman.
Another supermarket giant, Tesco, expects a fifth of its festive sales of turkeys and geese, some 220,000 birds, to be boneless.
Supermarkets have reacted to the changing demands of their customers by supplying a range of boneless products.
Tesco has extended its Easy-carve poultry range this Christmas and the chain claims that orders are already up 24% on last year.
Chefs, however, argue that meat on the bone cooks and tastes better as bones conduct heat so that it travels to the centre of a joint more quickly. "If you cook meat on the bone, you'll get much more flavour; it's very satisfying."


The Department of Jewish, Islamic, and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures (JINELC) at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for a post-doctoral fellow to participate in a Mellon Sawyer Seminar, "Grounding the Ecocritical: Materializing Wastelands and Living on in the Middle East." This one-year position begins on July 1, 2017.
The position is open to scholars working in a field related to the seminar theme in any discipline in the humanities and social sciences. We especially invite candidates whose work is theoretically informed, interdisciplinary, and based on research in the geographical areas of the Middle East, North Africa, Saharan Africa, southern and eastern Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia. Candidates must have completed a PhD within the last five years by the time the appointment begins on July 1, 2017.
Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, this "Grounding the Ecocritical" Sawyer Seminar launches a comparative, interdisciplinary investigation into ecological, technical, and literary-cultural accounts of wasteland spaces across the region traditionally defined as the Middle East. The seminar is committed to developing methods and vocabularies to study the specific wastelands – from ruined cities to desiccated environments – that traverse this geographical area. It will do so by highlighting deep and materially inflected understandings of place: soil mechanics, architectural decay, biotic decomposition, desert wind patterns, and more. Through the comparative study of these processes, the seminar will explore the poetics and politics associated with particular places.
The fellowship pays a salary of $50,000 plus benefits, and provides a research/relocation fund of $1,000. The Fellow will teach one course each semester on themes related to the seminar and help to organize monthly workshops, film screenings, and other activities relating to the theme of the Mellon Sawyer Seminar in collaboration with other University units. Candidates with knowledge in web design are encouraged to describe their previous experiences and/or concepts for digital outreach in their applications. The Fellow will also mentor the three graduate students (two PhD; one MA) affiliated to the seminar.
All candidates should submit a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, a research statement, a list and brief description of three proposed courses, three letters of recommendation, and a writing sample of no more than 40 pages. All application materials should be sent to ecocriticalsawyer@wustl.edu. Recommenders should send their letters directly to this email address from their institutional email addresses with the full name of the applicant in the subject line.
Applications received by March 1, 2017 will receive full consideration, but the search will remain open until the position is closed or filled.

We are heading home to Halifax for Christmas vacation in less than 10 days, so I am starting to feel the pressure of wanting to get everything done around here before we do. I am finished (mostly) all of my Christmas shopping, picked up my wrapping supplies, and now just have to focus on getting some content prepared so I can enjoy a relaxing stay with my family back home. Have a great weekend everyone, see you Monday!


I think his tips are awful. Books make me happy humans make me heart hurt shirt that transports you, your imagination, your knowledge, your humor, your emotions. It doesn't have to be amazingly profound, but it can be. These tips, they just kill the idea of you emotionally connecting with a book. Fine, if you're not loving a book, don't finish it, but sometimes, finishing it, will surprise you, like "girl with the dragon tattoo" I found that so hard to read for about half the book. But then it became brilliant. It was worth the suffering. I don't like this, he's killing the beauty of reading! All that Jay puts may not be practical as the real purpose of reading a book is learning something anew.
And thought processes Books make me happy humans make me heart hurt shirt are the key ingredients that keep the reader glued to a book. Less read , but more content of a book digested is like a more satisfying meal for the reader. Well I really thought I've actually found her until she stop listening and then later stop communicating basically lost touch and the only reply that I would normally get back from her is to seek professional help…. so I actually looked into it and of course they can't fix what I want but suggest.


Rhabdomyolysis is caused by necrosis of striated muscle cells and it has been defined as an elevation of creatine phosphokinase (CK) greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal. The rhabdomyolysis can be caused by trauma, overexertion, toxins (alcohol, drugs) or muscle metabolic defects. Drugs are common causes of rhabdomyolysis, usually statins and antipsychotics. We present a case of rhabdomyolysis during isotretinoin therapy .
A 18-year-old male started therapy with 40 mg per day of isotretinoin (0.5 mg/kg/day) for acne. In a routine examination conducted after 6 months the patient reported moderate fatigue. Blood tests revealed elevated CK with values of 39.800 IU/l (normal range, 24-204 UI/l). We recommended discontinue the isotretinoin therapy, avoidance of strenuous exercise and abundant fluid intake. After four weeks CK had returned to normal (56 UI/l).
Oral isotretinoin (13-cis retinoic acid) is a vitamin A derivated that it is effective for the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne. This drug counteracts the pathogenic factors that contribute to the development of acne vulgaris. Treatment is initiated at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day and it is subsequently increased to 1 mg/kg/day. Isotretinoin is associated with a number of adverse effects: causes spontaneous abortions and severe life-threatening congenital malformations, inflammatory bowel disease, dry skin and mucous membranes, epistaxis, cheilitis, desquamation, photosensitivity, pruritus, hypertriglyceridemia and myalgias . Rhabdomyolysis may occur in patients taking oral isotretinoin, particularly those who engage in vigorous physical activity as our patient . CK levels are elevated in approximately 15-50 percent of patients with isotretinoin-induced myalgias . The elevation of CK is usually mild. In some patients is asymptomatic (with elevated CK in laboratory tests), in others they had severe muscle pain and weakness.
The management of isolated CK elevation is temporarily discontinuing isotretinoin (until CK levels return to normal) of decrease the dose. In these patients it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, it is believed that both can have a synergistic effect .

On a bigger stage, you are able to fulfill your fantasies of racing – only having a hobby such as RC cars. Fortunately there are review sites for this, which i am going to give you a snippet about. First of all, you want to be searching for the right search word. For example, you won't be searching for Venapro review unless you are finding a solution for hemorrhoids. The right search word would be to find RC cars reviews.
You have to keep a couple of things in your mind if you read testimonials. What's the reviewer saying about the remote controlled vehicle? What's the reviewer saying concerning the website? Can you find everything you were searching for?
You would want to check how others view the product, so you would be more decisive if you will be buying it.
RC Car Reviews – Useful or not?
· Make Sure That the review talks about the RC car, like this good example below!
Reading RC automobile reviews is a excellent way to locate what you're searching for at a price. Do not neglect to check out though the organization provides discounted or free too as which promo codes are accessible after a particular dollar amount is bought shipping.

Right now, we at Freedom 4/24 are earnestly asking for your prayers. Our President Tim Spaulding, has made it safely into India. Our videographer Mitchell Bryant, however, has been denied access. Please read this update below from Tim.
As I sit and type, bleary eyed and bone tired from more than 24 hours of travel I am overcome by the need for prayer.
Both of us on the F424 team made it to Kolkata but only I made it through customs. Apparently Mitchell had some visa issues that no one caught until his passport was about to be stamped here in Kolkata. Visas are routinely checked multiple times during a trip. The fact is he should not have been allowed on the plane in Dulles in the first place, and should not have been allowed on the plane in Dubai; but he was.
Just 2 ½ hours ago we parted ways at the airport. Me, bound for the guesthouse where I now type and Mitchell back to the departure gates where he now sits waiting for the first flight to Dubai in the morning. Once back in the United Arab Emirates, Mitchell will file the paperwork to correct his visa and then come back to join me. But here's the kicker—immigration and customs officers said this will take 48 hours. We have but a few days here as it is.
I'm completely dumbfounded. It's really a mess. But I know one thing: time and again when faced with unworkable situations, God can intervene.
1) Pray that Mitchell's visa situation would be worked out without having to go back to Dubai.
2) Pray that despite my lack of videographer experience, I will be able to capture the stories of rescue and redemption we came here for.
There is good work happening in India. We came here with a purpose and no matter what gets thrown at us, our eyes are on the prize and we will not be deterred.

How can someone be so good at everything they do? Either it is doing comedy or being an actor, Amy Poehler has always been successful to make the perfect hit on her target. The actress is also a book writer and a director.

While Amy was struggling with her career, SNL hired her as a full cast member and became a rising star in the industry and became the first ever cast member to be nominated for Primetime Emmy Awards.
Working with SNL until 2008, Amy decided to give acting and direction a try. She appeared in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation as Leslie Knop and even won a Golden Award for Best Actress in Television Musical in 2014. Giving continuity to the list of her awards next comes to the Teen Choice Awards for her work on Saturday Night Live.
Amy also served as a co-author of SNL Weekend Update in 2004 alongside her friend Tina Fey. The two comedians became quick friends and enjoyed their company.

Recently, Amy is into direction and made her big screen directional debut through a Netflix movie called Wine Country.
An audio version of the book is also available. The audio was nominated under the category of the 'Best Spoken Word Album' by the 58th Annual Grammy Awards.
Amy Poehler enjoys the impressive net worth of 25 million dollars. However, Amy has not disclosed any details about her salary.
Amy Poehler has a net worth of $25 Million.
If you are wondering if Amy is a divorcee, then you are right. Amy was previously married to Canadian-American actor Will Arnett who made his appearance in several movies like Blades of Glory, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and some more. Arnett was also a comedian and a voice-over actor who played roles in Ratatouille (2007), Despicable Me (2010), and The Nut Job (2014).

News:UNHCR evacuates vulnerable refugees including Ethiopians out of Libya
addisstandard / May 31, 2019 / 2.8k
Addis Abeba, May 31/2019 – The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has yesterday evacuated hundreds of vulnerable refugees out of Libya to safety, the agency said. The evacuees are from Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia. They include 65 children, 13 of them below a year in age. One of the children was born just two months ago.
Many of the evacuees need medical treatment and are suffering from malnourishment.
🚨 Happening now: UNHCR ✈ evacuated 149 vulnerable refugees and asylum-seekers to safety from Libya 🇱🇾 to Italy 🇮🇹.
The evacuees are from Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia. They include 65 children, 13 of them below a year in age.
More info 👇https://t.co/W2nKnDKWMz pic.twitter.com/V22nptAOgT
— UNHCR Libya (@UNHCRLibya) May 30, 2019
The group were moved from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's Gathering and Departure Facility (GDF), after surviving months in dire conditions inside detention centers in other parts of the city. The evacuation was carried out in collaboration with Libyan and Italian authorities.
"More humanitarian evacuations are needed," said Jean-Paul Cavalieri, UNHCR Chief of Mission in Libya. "They are a vital lifeline for refugees whose only other escape route is to put their lives in the hands of unscrupulous smugglers and traffickers on the Mediterranean Sea."
Earlier this week, 62 urban refugees from Syria, Sudan and Somalia were also evacuated from Tripoli to UNHCR's Emergency Transit Center in Timisoara, Romania. They will receive food, clothing and medical treatment before traveling onwards to Norway. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) provided support with transportation.
UNHCR is grateful to States that have come forward with evacuation places however, new detainees are arriving at a faster pace than people are departing. More than 1,000 refugees and migrants have been evacuated or resettled out of Libya by UNHCR in 2019, while more than 1,200 others have been returned to Libya by the Libyan Coast Guard in just May alone after being rescued or intercepted while attempting to flee by boat.
With the fighting in Tripoli showing no sign of stopping, the risks of detainees being caught up in the clashes are rising. UNHCR reiterates its call to States to urgently come forward with further offers of humanitarian corridors and evacuations in order to bring detained refugees in Libya to safety.
More than 83,000 Libyans have been forced to flee their homes since early April, as rival forces continue to engage in fighting and heavy shelling. Local municipal governments and host communities have played a critical role in providing assistance to the displaced, many of whom are sheltered inside schools and other public buildings. Others have left to stay with friends and family in neighboring towns and cities.
UNHCR has provided more than 9,000 displaced people with emergency assistance and relief items, and donated medical supplies and ambulances to hospitals through the Ministry for Health and the Libyan Red Crescent.
Nearly 600 people have lost their lives in the recent clashes, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Last week, two ambulance drivers died after being caught up in shelling attacks. UNHCR reiterates that targeting civilians and humanitarian workers constitutes a violation of international law, and calls for any perpetrators of such attacks to be held accountable. UNHCR.

Are a dip in rates and an uptick in tax proposals a call to action?
INSIGHT ARTICLE | May 15, 2019
Charlie Ratner, Carol Warley, Rebecca Warren
The IRS has announced the applicable federal interest rates (Revenue Ruling 2019-12) for May 2019. The section 7520 rate for May dropped slightly to 2.8 percent from April's 3.0 percent. The applicable federal rates used for intra-family loans, sales to defective trusts and other planning techniques also decreased a bit.
A 20 basis point drop in the section 7520 rate is not particularly newsworthy, at least in the narrow context of the wealth transfer planning in which that rate is relevant. However, there is a broader context to consider, referring of course to the context of the tax proposals being floated by some of the Democrat candidates for President. In that context, even this slight dip in the section 7520 rate should serve as a gentle nudge to those who had no intention to revisit their plans until just prior to 2026, when the current rules sunset and are replaced by the rules that were in place pre-2018.
Individuals could very reasonably wonder why it's worth reconsidering their wealth transfer plans before 2021, let alone before 2026. In our article, The estate, gift and GST tax exemption for 2018 is $11.18 million, we pointed out that the new law virtually doubled the gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions, but left alone (and therefor still available), stepped-up basis at death, full design flexibility for grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs) and sales to defective grantor trusts, valuation discounts and so forth. In other words, post-TCJA, individuals had all of the tools they had before…and then some. And, TCJA aside, the low interest rates on which the tax economics of the most popular planning techniques thrive were still relatively low.
Given that between the enactment of TCJA and 2026, a whole lot could happen politically that could, shall we say, accelerate the sunset. In fact, based upon some of the proposals put forth by the Democrats, not only would the favorable TCJA exemptions be reduced, but that flexibility to plan with GRATs, for example, would be sharply curtailed.
Meanwhile, some Republicans are continuing to seek full repeal of the estate tax.
We are not predicting any political outcome nor are we handicapping the odds for any proposal becoming law. We are, however, suggesting that any individuals whose estates post-2021 will exceed the thresholds referred to in some of the proposals should at least confer with their tax advisors about the implications of these proposals on their estate, business succession and life insurance plans. In some cases, individuals may decide that it is better to act now while those loans, GRATs, sales and other techniques are still available and well-priced at today's low interest rates. In other cases, individuals may decide to defer taking such strategic steps (especially if they will lose control over valuable assets) until things come into sharper focus. In all cases, however, individuals will come way from those discussions better informed about how these developments might affect them and their plans.

FORMER Ceann Comhairle John O'Donoghue was one of four people given free premium tickets to the rugby World Cup final at a cost of €1,700 to the taxpayer.
The cost was just for tickets to the match -- in which South Africa beat England in Paris -- and did not include flights and accommodation. The bill was footed by the Irish Sports Council, and Mr O'Donoghue was accompanied by council chairman Ossie Kilkenny and two others, whose identities have not been revealed.
The former Ceann Comhairle refused to return calls last night, while it was unclear if he was offered the tickets or asked for them. The latest revelation comes only weeks after the South Kerry TD resigned from his position as Ceann Comhairle amid uproar over the €550,000 in expenses racked up in his five years as Sports Minister and the €250,000 in his two years as Ceann Comhairle. His resignation came after details of years of lavish spending emerged.
At the time of the rugby final, which took place in October 2007, Mr O'Donoghue was Ceann Comhairle and had been moved from his previous position as Arts, Sports and Tourism Minister after the General Election that May.
The Sports Council could not explain why they paid for his tickets, given that he was no longer Sports Minister.
council chairman Ossie Kilkenny also refused to comment when contacted last night and refused to say who accompanied him and Mr O'Donoghue to the match.
Four tickets were bought for €1,678 -- two were in the most-expensive category for the game at €498, and another two were in the second-most-expensive one at €341.
ah, The Irish Sports Council spends their budget in this manner?
The bill was footed by the Irish Sports Council, and Mr O'Donoghue was accompanied by council chairman Ossie Kilkenny and two others, whose identities have not been revealed.
I guess one was the 365 days sunglass wearing Boot O'Donoghue? Why are the other 2 not specifically named?
We are truly cursed with gombeenism. And this übergombeen is in a class of his own.
Cant wait to find out who got the other 2 tickets. This is a major part of the story. Dont be surprised if it is children or wife of Minister !!!
If it was family, they would have sat with JOD. 2 lesser tickets given to "un-named people" seems very dodgy.
Denis O` Brien / Michael Lowry !!!
Cant wait to find out. All they have to do is check the flight records.
Mr McLoone, who is general secretary of the IMPACT trade union and is involved in negotiations on public-sector pay, and Mr Ahern availed of free tickets to sought-after events such as All-Ireland finals and Irish rugby internationals.
The tickets ranged in cost from basic stand prices to €300 packages. Mr McLoone went to see Ireland take on Argentina in the 2007 Rugby World Cup at a cost of €800.
Mr McLoone, who stepped down as a member of the Sports Council in September after a 10-year term, was given two free tickets -- and sometimes three and four -- to at least 25 sporting events since 2002.
These included All-Ireland hurling and football finals, rugby internationals and soccer internationals. International rugby matches took up the vast majority of Mr McLoone's free-ticket allocations, and he attended almost every major home game over the last few years, including matches against England, South Africa, the All Blacks, France and other six nations teams.
The details also show that annual Christmas parties cost thousands of euro, including dinner at the Alexander Hotel in Dublin in 2007 for €2,949 and at the Conrad Hotel in 2006 for €6,176. Similar dinners at the Conrad in previous years also saw members who lived in the capital -- including Mr McLoone and Mr Mullins -- being put up in the hotel for the night.
IRELAND'S top Olympic official has warned that some of the country's elite athletes could be forced to retire before the London Games in 2012 if government funding continues to be cut.
And that corrupt FORMER Ceann Comhairle, getting money spent on him that he did not deserve. It is no wonder that we do not do as well internationally as we should. Why are the officials always treated better than the athletes?
Crap game all round ,so at those top price tickets, it was a complete rip off !!
What about the tickets they had bought for the 1/4 finals and the hotels they had booked and never used?
THE Sports Council faces questions from the government department that bankrolls its operations over the purchase of premium match tickets supplied to former Ceann Comhairle John O'Donoghue.
Its chairman Ossie Kilkenny also faces questions from his own board today as the controversy deepened over the Rugby World Cup (RWC) final tickets given to himself, Mr O'Donoghue and two mystery individuals.
The cost for tickets to the 2007 South Africa versus England showdown was footed by the taxpayer-funded Irish Sports Council, as revealed in the Irish Independent three days ago.
But last night, Mr Kilkenny dug in and again refused to say who had joined himself and Mr O'Donoghue on the prestige trip to Paris.
Today, the issue will be raised at a meeting of the board of the Irish Sports Council in Abbotstown, with a majority of the 10-person board newly installed in the past month.
Mr Kilkenny also said yesterday that he was under no obligation to explain the circumstances behind the trip to the match, except to "the proper authorities".
He said that in the case of the Sports Council, this meant the board, the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism, and the auditors. It could also mean the Dail Public Accounts Committee, which investigates public spending.
The tickets were allocated as a pair each to Mr Kilkenny and Mr O'Donoghue. The cost was just for tickets to the match and did not include flights and accommodation.
The Irish Sports Council receives a grant of more than €51.6m annually from the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism.
Asked if the taxpayer, as the ultimate underwriter of the cost, had a right to know the details of the trip, Mr Kilkenny, an accountant, said: "I will pass no comment on these matters. You can put it to me any way you like. I've no comment on it."
Well he's quite right not to talk to the media about it, it would just make things worse for him. He should report it to his boss, and the minister can come out and say if the rules have been broken.
I said it at the time, and it's being born out her now, the focus on JOD is a massive waste of time. There's headlines about a 500 euro ticket, but the story about reforming the expenses system has gone very quiet.
There are 7 newcomers to the Board of the Sports Council today one of whom is Jim Glennon, a former FF TD who walked away from them because of their attitude/silence to corruption, cannot see him taking any evasive shlte from Kilkenny/JOD, JG will start as he means to go on.
The question of focus on JOD is interesting it has brought a small result but he is still to get compo and so far not required to repay a penny, he will use this as justification of himself, on the old FF theory if you cannot prove I was wrong 100%, then I am right 100%.
The reforming of the expenses is very much in the hands of Biffo/Lenny as they prepare the Budget this maybe why is has quitened down.
Will be interesting to see who are the mystery Paris Rugby 2 because we can be certain if JOD stayed o/n he will not have paid his bills + flights.
I said a month ago that questions needed to be asked about tickets bought for the 1/4 final match we were supposed to be playing in - The same weekend as JoD was in France for Longchamps.
Surely the tickets would have been given back to the Organisers and ended up with perhaps similar people in the other quarter finalist's Unions.
Hotels and flights would then have to be cancelled, quite normal happenings in tournaments unless you know otherwise.
The game was a Sunday and the person who intended to use the tickets decided late Friday he was not going to use them. Think they landed in the hands of someone with Irish connections in Paris.
On the face of it this does not seem to be untoward.
JOHN O'DONOGHUE asked the Irish Sports Council for two tickets to the Rugby World Cup final, it was revealed last night.
Mr O'Donoghue was Ceann Comhairle at the time, and had ceased being minister for arts, sports and tourism for five months. He offered to pay for the tickets but the council gave them to him for free in recognition of his efforts on behalf of Irish sport.
The cost of the pair of tickets, for Mr O'Donoghue -- and it is thought his wife, Kate Ann -- came to nearly €1,000. The tickets were ultimately paid for by the taxpayer.
Late last night the Irish Sports Council admitted to the Irish Independent: "John O'Donoghue contacted the chairman of the Irish Sports Council, Ossie Kilkenny, to ask if two tickets for the 2007 Rugby World Cup final could be reserved on his behalf."
In other sports news, the Melbourne Cup was successfully run yesterday despite the absence of the Ceann Cohmairle.
The name of the winning horse, appropriately enough: Shocking.

In Praise of Cynicism
August 1, 2022 Algora Blog 3 Comments
by Emmet Sweeney
The herd instinct is as much a characteristic of people as of animals. There is an inherent desire to blend in with the crowd, to not stand out, to not be seen as odd. According to evolutionary psychologists we inherited this from pre-human ancestors, where sticking with the crowd, looking and acting like all the others, helped ensure survival. Whatever one feels about evolutionary psychology, there is no question that the herd instinct is also found among people, where it manifests itself in following the latest trend – whatever trend one's nature is drawn to; the latest fashion in clothes, or (for the more high-brow) art, literature, music, or even science. In short, moving with the times. But, whilst following the herd undoubtedly helps animals stay alive, among humans it's just as likely to get you killed (notwithstanding the short-lived social benefits). One obvious example that springs to mind is the hordes of young men who rushed to "join up" at the beginning of World War 1. No doubt they believed, on some level at least, that they were doing a great service to their country, or perhaps the world in general, as they marched against the Germans, whom the mass media of the time had convinced them were barbarians or "Huns." But the Germans were not barbarians, and millions of young men throughout Europe were butchered in a needless and pointless war that should never have happened in the first place.
The herd instinct also played a major part in the COVID affair of the past two-and-a-half years.
The perplexing question as to why some people saw through the COVID scam from the beginning whilst others – the great majority – fell for it hook, line, and sinker, is one that has exercised the minds of many since March 2020. Whilst it was possible to delineate broad categories of those who were liable to be believers and those liable to be skeptics, there were always almost as many exceptions as there were those who fitted the categories. In general, for example, religious people tended to be more skeptical; yet some of the most fanatical followers of the COVID-cult were also religious – including the vast majority of clergymen. Again, it was noted that the working class, especially manual workers, tended to be skeptical, but here too, many of the blue-collar class were fanatical believers – including the great majority of trade union representatives.
One very useful analysis of the problem was provided by Belgian clinical psychologist Professor Mattias Desmet. Observing how so many people accepted the COVID fear narrative uncritically, Desmet concluded that such persons were suffering from what he termed "mass formation psychosis," a condition similar in many ways to hypnosis. The ground for this condition had been prepared beforehand, said Desmet, by the dissolution of families and communities, ongoing in Western societies for several decades. Huge numbers of people found themselves socially isolated, suffering anxiety, and living without purpose. When the COVID "crisis" was announced, the isolated masses suddenly found a new purpose – the "defeat" of COVID – as well as an object of fear (the virus). All that was needed was for everyone to abide by the measures media and governments deemed necessary for defeating the virus – masks, vaccination, and social distancing. This battle fulfilled the need for meaningfulness and connection. However, one result was that those who did not participate in the battle, and who questioned government measures and strategies, came to be viewed almost as much an enemy as the virus itself. Not only did they undermine the community's efforts in the "war" against the virus, but they posed a threat to the continuity of the new social bond.
There is much to be said for Desmet's analysis, and he undoubtedly accurately described a substantial segment of the modern population in the urbanized West. However, his thesis could perhaps be criticized for a few omissions. First and foremost, it really should come as no surprise that most people came to believe there was a deadly virus at large, given the unrelenting fearmongering on the part of the media and the government who, it should be remembered, effectively and completely suppressed any counter-narrative. The great majority of the public, in short, were completely unaware that a counter-narrative existed. To them, every scientist and expert agreed that COVID was a lethal disease and that the only way to stop it was by adhering to the (ever changing) government measures. In short, many of the believers weren't suffering from a psychosis; they just accepted the stuff the media was shovelling at them in an unrelenting stream. Secondly, the herd instinct was undoubtedly involved. "Everyone" agreed that COVID was dangerous and needed to be defeated. Since most people will go with the trend, the pressure to conform was considerable. And thirdly, huge numbers of people did quite well out of the lockdowns. Government employees, in particular, received extremely generous furlough payments for sitting at home twiddling their thumbs. If you could make a lot of money, whilst simultaneously patting yourself on the back for helping to stop a deadly plague, what's not to like about that?
So, it wasn't so much that believers were hypnotized or suffering mass psychosis; they just trusted the media, the government and the "general consensus." Which brings me onto the far more interesting question of why so many did not believe the media, the government, or their friends/work-mates. The psychology of the skeptics has never been seriously considered. Sure, the media and government branded us variously as "conspiracy theorists," "fascists," or just "nut-cases," but these were nothing more than terms of abuse – epithets hurled at us in an effort to cow us and make us conform. One epithet they did not to my knowledge hurl – and one which might more reasonably have described us – was "cynics."
Cynicism and cynics have had a bad press in modern times, and one can readily see why: It is not in the interests of the great and the good (as our rulers like to style themselves) to be called out for their empty posturing and rampant hypocrisy. This, after all, is an age that has replaced all real virtue with virtue-signalling. This is an age where Jeffrey Epstein can be described, in an online dictionary, as a "philanthropist." But cynicism is not, as the powerful would have it, a noxious mental attitude which leads one to view the world through a jaundiced eye. Nor are cynics joyless curmudgeons, as many imagine. Cynics can be personable, friendly, and good company. The one and only thing that separates the cynic from the non-cynic is that he/she sees through your motives almost immediately. As such, cynicism, rather than a character flaw is, in my opinion, a very useful survival tool, and perhaps even more. The ancient cynics – who, by the way, were highly respected philosophers – saw right through the posturing of the great men of their time. Recall the famous story of Diogenes who, when approached by Alexander "the Great" with an offer of any favour the king could bestow, asked Alexander to stop blocking his sunlight. But the cynics also saw through their own posturing. Indeed, the primary goal of the ancient cynic was to identify and uproot his own hypocrisy and egotism. When a man knows himself, they argued, he will learn the truth about his own ignoble motives; he will see the serpent of jealousy and envy lurking at the root of even his closest friendships. As movie reviewer Barry Norman put it some years ago: "This week is Oscar Week, and the air is full of the wailing and cries of anguish of actors who have been passed over for an Oscar, and of the laughter of their friends." When a man understands this about himself, said the cynics, he will be able to identify it in others, and society at large. And it was for that reason that the cynics scorned convention. They scorned to run with the herd and drift with the current trend.
As might be imagined, the cynics viewed human nature as essentially selfish, which in fact accorded well with the Christian doctrine of Original Sin, but which is diametrically opposed to the current – and trendy – notion of the inherent goodness of humanity. And it should be noted that this poisonous idea (man's default goodness), attributed with some justification to Rousseau, has caused havoc in virtually every area of modern life.
Having searched long and hard for the common denominator among rejecters of COVID-ism, I am now fairly certain that cynicism is it. An outlook which scorns popular conventions and which automatically looks for the catch in everything, was far more likely to see through the COVID-deception. Because for the cynic, everyone has an angle, everyone has an agenda; and usually it's not for the benefit of others. The cynic asks, first and foremost, cui bono? Cynics of course are found in all walks of life and in all professions. They're also found in all religions and in no religions at all. And yet there were indeed certain patterns; certain areas where the cynics seemed to be concentrated. Many religious people, it has been noted, saw through the COVID-scam, but many did not. And here's the interesting thing: As a rule, it was what we might call the unconventionally religious who saw through it; among Catholics, followers of tradition and attenders of the Latin Mass; among Protestants, traditionalist evangelicals. The "mainstream" (how aptly named) joined the COVID-cult enthusiastically. Skeptics and cynics too were heavily concentrated among the working class – especially amongst manual workers and those employed in difficult and dangerous occupations. Living in a harsh reality, the blue-collar worker, if he is not a cynic at the start, tends to become one quite quickly. Blue-collar workers vote less frequently in elections than do professionals. Many do not vote at all. I am reminded of a classic statement of the cynic's philosophy by a coal-miner colleague of my father's in Scotland several decades ago. During a break, some of the men got to discussing politics: What was the best system, was it socialism, communism, capitalism, or some other ism? Will Rhodes (for that was the philosopher's name) said nothing during all of this, and eventually one of the men asked his opinion (Will was quite old and was respected for his age and experience; he had travelled the world with the British Army). As my dad told the story, Will spat a large tobacco spittle into the dirt and answered; "There's only one f..ing ism, and that's me-ism."
Such a person, one might imagine, would not be easily convinced that politicians, newspaper editors, or pharmaceutical CEO's had his best interests at heart.
What then makes a cynic? In my opinion, a cynic can be born or made. Repeated betrayals, dashed hopes and dashed dreams, can certainly go a long way towards the finished product. When Saint Paul said, "Put not your trust in men, for all men are liars," he expressed an admirable cynic sentiment, as did Jesus when He addressed those around him as "You, who are evil." But it seems to me that the true cynic is not just the product of others' betrayals; the true cynic is the man or woman who has suffered some deep wound that has threatened his/her very existence or sanity and as a result of which has come to properly know himself/herself. Finding the shadow lurking there, he recoils in horror at himself and recoils even more when he realizes that the same shadow lurks in all other people. Almost nothing that we do does not involve a large element of self-interest. Realizing the truth about himself, the cynic philosopher sought to act, at least a little, from genuinely non-selfish motives. And that should be the goal of all us modern cynics.
Emmet Sweeney is the author of several works dealing with problems in the history of the ancient Near East.

Thank you, what an eye-opener ! I'm pretty old though, but didn't know.
OK. Get the cynicism connection. But missing something fundamental as well. Reason. Reason employs 'memory' to strengthen & and advance this trait over time. Those with better memory mechanisms, more subject to Reason. And it's open to any & all walks of life.
Before I found, thru a 'health' book in a little free library, a website that i checked out by chance led me to all the missing 'alternate' narrative that I was seeing, understanding according to my own personal 'reason'. All there was available to me & anyone else was propogated entirely by the msm. I found very quickly that I could not discuss my views on the subject w/o losing friends and making enemies. Still true to this day.
Nothing they (msm) were saying EVER made any sense to me, just from the information they actually PROVIDED at the beginning of this insane turn of events on the only planet available to me. List those items from the beginning, and all items from the past (memory), and it was crystal clear that the emperor was never wearing any clothes!! But more frightening still is the fact that the entire planets msm went along with it, continuing still and there is no end in site…

At school we were taught to always ask:
How. What. When. Where. Why. Who., whenever presented with any opinion, idea or argument.
Of course, the old Nuns were also quite handy with the strap but reason and thought, along with a slight flourish of cynicism, went a long way toward formulating the intelligence needed to trust everyone, and believe no one.
Nod gently. Smile sweetly. Act enthralled and amazed, but use your own brain.
What instantly got me about all this rubbish from the very beginning was that somehow we were expected to believe that the complete shutting away of 7.9 Billion people at exactly the same time for two weeks supposedly made even the slightest bit of sense.
But, and more importantly: WHO?
WHO and WHY?
Thinking seems to have lost its lustre.
Let all cynics arise.

Q: How to compare two separate dates using the Boost library? gregorian::date date1 = 2014-12-18;
gregorian::date date2 = 2014-12-19;
gregorian::date currentDate;

if(date1 < date2)
{
    date1 = currentDate;
}
else
{
    date2 = currentDate;
}

Functionality similar to this is ideal for my problem and I was wondering if it's at all possible to compare dates or if there is an existing function to do so?

A: Of course you need to properly construct the dates, but otherwise the comparison is no problem whatsoever.
Note that you need day_clock to get the currentDate (otherwise instead you get not-a-datetime)
Live On Coliru
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_date.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian_io.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace boost;

int main() {
    gregorian::date date1(2014, 12, 18);
    gregorian::date date2(2014, 12, 19);

    std::cout << date1 << ", " << date2 << "\n";
    (date1 < date2 ? date1 : date2) = gregorian::day_clock::local_day();
    std::cout << date1 << ", " << date2 << "\n";
}

This replaces the lowest value with the current date, printing
2014-Dec-18, 2014-Dec-19
2014-Dec-19, 2014-Dec-19

A: The documentation about gregorian dates says that all comparisons operators are available. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/date_time/gregorian.html#date_operators

A: I don't think you want this:
gregorian::date date1 = 1984; // 2014-12-18 = 2014 - 12 - 18 = 1984
gregorian::date date2 = 1983; // 2014-12-19 = 2014 - 12 - 19 = 1983

Try looking at:
date(greg_year, greg_month, greg_day)

or
date from_string(std::string)

Next time you have ground meat, try making a meatloaf instead of meatballs. It's easy! This pork meatloaf recipe can be a go-to for weeknight cooking. Plus, you can use meatloaf leftovers on almost anything: in sandwiches, in pasta, and on salads.
Mix all ingredients well in a stainless steel or glass bowl. Divide mixture into 6 portions, about 800 grams each.
Transfer each portion into 1 (6x3-inch) loaf pan. Cover pans with foil and bake for 1 hour.
4 Remove cover and continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes.
Serve one portion with rice and gravy. Store remaining portions.

Austin Eli Wing (* 3. Februar 1792 in Conway, Hampshire County, Massachusetts; † 27. August 1849 in Cleveland, Ohio) war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker. Zwischen 1825 und 1833 vertrat er das Michigan-Territorium zweimal als Delegierter im US-Repräsentantenhaus.

Werdegang
Noch in seiner Jugend zog Austin Wing mit seinen Eltern nach Marietta im Nordwestterritorium, wo er die öffentlichen Schulen besuchte.  Danach studierte er bis 1814 am Williams College in Williamstown. Später zog er nach Detroit im Michigan-Territorium. Dort arbeitete er als Privatsekretär von Territorialgouverneur Lewis Cass. Nach einem anschließenden Jurastudium und seiner Zulassung als Rechtsanwalt begann er in seinem neuen Beruf zu arbeiten. Gleichzeitig schlug er in seiner neuen Heimat eine politische Laufbahn ein.

Bei den Kongresswahlen des Jahres 1824 wurde er als Delegierter des Michigan-Territoriums in das US-Repräsentantenhaus in Washington, D.C. gewählt, wo er am 4. März 1825 die Nachfolge von Gabriel Richard antrat. Nach einer Wiederwahl im Jahr 1826 konnte er bis zum 3. März 1829 zunächst zwei Legislaturperioden im Kongress absolvieren. Diese waren von den Diskussionen zwischen den Anhängern und Gegnern des späteren Präsidenten Andrew Jackson geprägt. Austin Wing war ein Gegner Jacksons. In den 1830er Jahren war er an der Gründung der Whig Party in seinem Territorium beteiligt, die in Opposition zu Jacksons Demokratischer Partei stand. Nach dem Ende seiner ersten Zeit im US-Repräsentantenhaus zog Wing nach Monroe. Zwischen dem 4. März 1831 und dem 3. März 1833 konnte er noch einmal sein Territorium im US-Kongress vertreten. Dort wurde in dieser Zeit heftig über die Politik des inzwischen zum Präsidenten gewählten Andrew Jackson diskutiert. Dabei ging es um die umstrittene Durchführung des Indian Removal Act, die Nullifikationskrise mit dem Staat South Carolina und die Bankenpolitik des Präsidenten.

Im Jahr 1842 wurde Wing in das Repräsentantenhaus von Michigan gewählt. Außerdem wurde er Vorstandsmitglied der University of Michigan. Im Jahr 1846 wurde er zum US Marshal für den Bereich der Staaten Michigan, Illinois und Wisconsin ernannt. Dieses Amt bekleidete er bis 1849. Er starb nach einer Erkrankung am 27. August 1849 in einem Krankenhaus in Cleveland.

Santiago, Chile – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) called on the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean to focus on infrastructure, costs and the region's regulatory framework. By concentrating on these areas, the economic and social benefits of aviation can be maximized while accommodating the region's expanding demand for air connectivity.
Aviation already plays an important role in the region's economy, employing some five million people and supporting $170 billion in GDP.
"We need effective infrastructure to accommodate growth; reasonable costs and taxes that don't kill it; and a modern regulatory framework that supports it," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's Director General and CEO during a speech at the Wings of Change – Chile conference in Santiago.
"Demand for air travel is outpacing both airport capacity growth and the upgrades to air traffic management systems. In the last decade the number of passengers carried by the region's airlines has more than doubled. And by 2036, we expect more than 750 million journeys will touch the region. Without concerted action today, we are headed towards a crisis," said de Juniac.
IATA called for the region's governments to work with industry to develop a long-term strategy that will ensure sufficient capacity, affordable costs and service and technical expertise aligned with user needs.
Mexico City is the most critical of the bottlenecks. The current airport was designed for 32 million passengers annually but serves 47 million. "The solution is a new airport which is already under construction. But its future has been politicized in the current presidential election. The critical need for the new airport needs to be understood by all," said de Juniac.
"Latin America and the Caribbean is an expensive place to do business. Taxes, fees, and government policies create a great burden. Today governments see aviation as a revenue source. But it is more powerful as a revenue catalyst. Reducing the costs of doing business will pay big economic and social dividends," said de Juniac.
Brazil's fuel pricing policy adds $800 million in costs annually.
Ecuador and Colombia suffer from the exorbitant costs charged by monopoly fuel suppliers—made all the worse in Ecuador where there also is a 5% fuel tax.
Colombia has a connectivity tax, an exit tax and now the municipal mayors are planning to tax air travelers $5.00 to subsidize road infrastructure.
"Safety is our top priority. But safety is not improved with redundant processes. If an airline's crew is certified to a commonly agreed standard in Peru, is there a safety reason to prohibit them from operating domestically on routes in Argentina? Or vice versa? And if an aircraft is certified in Brazil to a commonly agreed standard, why should it need to be re-registered in Chile to operate?" said de Juniac.
"Aviation already generates enormous benefits in Latin America and the Caribbean. Over a quarter of a billion people travel to, from or within the region and air transport generates some $170 billion in GDP. But for aviation to meet the upcoming passenger demand and deliver the economic and social benefits it is truly capable of, governments need to work together with the industry to help ensure they are realized," de Juniac said.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (April 17, 2018) – Williams College outscored Western New England University 4-1 in the final 11 minutes of regulation to earn an 11-8 win over the Golden Bears on Tuesday evening in non-conference men's lacrosse action at Golden Bear Stadium.
• Junior Jared Ward (Littleton, Mass.) led Western New England with three goals and one assist, while sophomore Brendan Lyons (Syosset, N.Y.) scored twice and senior Nicholas Beauchamp (Wilbraham, Mass.) finished with a goal and three assists.
• Senior goalie Steven Kerr (Hopkinton, Mass.) recorded 14 saves on 25 shots.
• Sophomore Brendan Hoffman (Darien, Conn.) and freshman Jared Strauss (Woodmere, N.Y.) paced the Ephs with four goals each, while sophomore Kevin Stump (Allentown, Pa.) found the back of the cage twice.
• Freshman Alex Kitt (Potomac, Md.) won 11-of-16 faceoffs and collected a game-high eight ground balls.
The Golden Bears, who trailed 6-4 at halftime, saw Williams match its largest lead when Strauss buried an unassisted goal to make it 7-4 with just under six minutes left in the third quarter.
Senior Mikey Wood (Southborough, Mass.) answered for Western New England with 2:22 on the clock, however, and Beauchamp set up Ward a minute later as the Golden Bears closed the gap to one (7-6) heading into the fourth quarter.
Lyons equalized for Western New England on a feed from Beauchamp 3:08 into the final frame, but Stump put Williams back in front just 50 seconds later. Hoffman gave the Ephs a two-score cushion with 10:16 to play, before Lyons scored again with 6:52 on the clock to make it a one-goal game (9-8).
The Williams defense kept the Golden Bears off the board the rest of the way, however, and Hoffman tallied a pair of late insurance goals to seal the win for the Ephs.
Williams got off to a strong start, as the visitors blanked Western New England in the opening quarter and led 3-0 after 15 minutes with the help of two goals by Strauss and one from Hoffman.
The Golden Bears began to click offensively in the second period, as they scored four goals with two from Ward to cut their deficit to two (6-4) at the break.
• Williams outshot Western New England 36-23 and held a 34-30 edge in ground balls.
• Ward's 41 points this season rank third on the team.
• Freshman defender Kevin Faustich (Seymour, Conn.) finished with three ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Both teams resume conference play on Saturday, as Western New England (9-6) travels to Salve Regina and Williams (7-6) heads to Maine to take on Bowdoin.

New method for material research gets hundred times stronger
Researchers from the Faculty of Science at the University of Oulu have increased the sensitivity of an emerging spectroscopic method with promising applications for materials studies.
All atoms that make up the ordinary matter in the Universe have nuclei, most of which behave like microscopic bar magnets. If properly oriented in space, these magnetic moments can cause small changes in the properties of light as it passes through the material, in so-called nuclear magneto-optic (NMO) phenomena. The NMO effects, first of which has been observed in 2006, enable emerging methods for studies of materials and molecules. With ability to look into the matter at the resolution of individual atoms, without permanently altering the sample properties, NMO approaches offer a valuable window into the properties of matter that only a few methods can give. In this respect, the NMO methods are similar to nuclear magnetic resonance, which is used widely in chemistry, as well as magnetic resonance imaging, an extremely powerful medical diagnostic tool.
The NMR Research Unit at the Faculty of Science has been active in the field of NMO since 2008 and has significantly contributed to the development of its theory. Lately, the group has also been involved in the development of experimental NMO techniques.
A hundred times stronger signal
The ultimate aim of the NMO research is to provide high-sensitivity optical data with atomic-resolution about the studied material. It is crucial to improve the spectroscopic sensitivity, so that smaller samples can be measured and higher-quality information can be obtained.
The sensitivity improvement can be gained by special techniques called hyperpolarization, when the microscopic magnets of the atomic nuclei are oriented in the desired direction to a far greater degree than possible under ambient conditions. In the newest paper, published in the prestigious high-level The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, the researchers Petr Štěpánek and Anu Kantola of the NMR Research Unit have shown how this can be achieved via the use of specially prepared hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas molecules can be present in two forms, the so-called ortho- and para-hydrogen, which differ by the mutual orientation of their own two nuclear magnetic moments. The high degree of orientational order contained in the gas that contains an excess of para-hydrogen, can via a catalytic reaction be transfered to the studied molecule, leading to an increase in the observed signal.
The researchers have used this method in a new combined approach and improved the sensitivity of NMO measurements by a factor of more than one hundred. This allows measurements of substances that would otherwise not be viable and opens new possibilities for further development of this new and exciting field.

Giardiasis.

Giardiasis is one of the most common pathogenic intestinal protozoal infections worldwide. Giardia lamblia is the most frequently identified etiologic agent in outbreaks associated with the ingestion of surface water, often due to ineffective filtration or pretreatment. In addition to humans, other sources of infection include beavers, perhaps muskrats, and possibly domestic animals. A low infecting dose (10 to 25 cysts) is reported to be sufficient to produce human infection. Clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to a transient or persistent acute stage, with steatorrhea, intermittent diarrhea, and weight loss, or to a subacute or chronic stage that can mimic gallbladder or peptic ulcer disease. Diagnosis is usually based on repeated stool examinations but examination of duodenal fluid or biopsy material may also be necessary. Enzyme immunoassay or indirect immunofluorescence methods for direct detection of antigen or whole organisms in clinical specimens have also been developed. These tests are reported to be more sensitive than routine stool examination. Demonstration of serum immunoglobulin M and G antibodies may help differentiate recent from past infection or help detect recurrence in individuals who have been treated previously. Serum immunoglobulin A levels may be a useful indicator of exposure in waterborne outbreaks of diarrhea. Drugs available for treatment within the United States include metronidazole, quinacrine hydrochloride, and furazolidone.

This took place in the combox for my post, 50 Bible Passages on Purgatory & Analogous Processes. "OverlappingMagisteria" took issue with my thesis in the piece, which was almost entirely of the nature of analogical argument (even denying that it's a legitimate form of argument at all). With all due respect, I don't think he succeeded. See what you think!
Analogical arguments are some of my very favorite to use (and unfortunately they are massively misunderstood). I'm a Catholic largely because of the brilliant analogical arguments used by Cardinal Newman in his 1845 classic, Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. My dialogue parter's words will be in blue.
The story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) explicitly says that the rich man is in hell and that there is a gulf that does not allow passage between it and "Abraham's Bosom." How this is interpreted to purgatory, a waiting room on the way to heaven is beyond me.
Or take the partial quotation provided from 2 Peter 9… which if you read the full passage makes it clear that the author is talking about the cleansing of sins in this life, not in the hereafter.
Obviously, time does not allow me to go through the whole list of 50, but others were similar in nature. It does not seem to me that the author could be serious with this list.
You clearly have not understood the reasoning here. The whole point is one of analogy (a form of argument widely misunderstood in the first place).
You object that one passage had to do with "this life." Yes, of course, since that was the purpose of the paper (!): to establish massive analogy.
God often and does this sort of thing to men on earth, in His mercy (necessary for our sanctification); therefore, He can and will do the same thing after death . . .
What is repeatedly described and "sanctioned" in Holy Scripture is certainly not implausible as a continuing process after death. . . . Of particular note is the relationship between the biblical teaching of suffering in general and purgatory . . .
Luke 16, as I have explained many times through the years, is not about heaven and hell, but about Sheol / Hades, which had two compartments in it. It is analogous to purgatory in an imperfect way (no analogy is absolutely perfect): as a third state after death besides heaven or hell.
If you want more direct biblical indications of purgatory, I compiled those in a separate post, from my first book.
Thanks for the reply. As you say, the form of argument from analogy is often misunderstood. I think the reason is because it is not a particularly good type of argument. One can shoehorn just about anything into an analogy and then explain away the inconsistencies with "no analogy is absolutely perfect" as you did.
This life is not eternal, so could we say that, by analogy, neither is the next? This life has evil and injustice, so by analogy, so does the next? In this life we have physical bodies and also in the next? We could accept each of those if we were motivated to do so, or write them off as "imperfections" in the analogy.
I suppose I expected to see places where the Bible actually talks about purgatory, but instead got descriptions of this life, or Sheol, and the assumption that things will be similar in some ways (but disregard the ways which defeat the argument!) in the hereafter. Color me unconvinced.
Analogy is a great form of argument. The Bible massively uses it, in types and shadows and prototypes (John the Baptist was the new Elijah; Jesus was the son of David, etc.). The parables are based on analogies. Wisdom literature (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon) also massively uses it.
For Christians (and Jews), who accept the inspiration of God's revelation: the Bible, this is a major way that God sought to teach us. Thus, it is just as effective in looking for analogies to purgatory.
I think the argument is quite strong.
Again, direct proof was not the purpose of this argument. I gave you a link to my paper where I did that. Something tells me, however, that you'll be singularly unimpressed with that as well.
Yes, we do. That's what is called the general resurrection. If we're operating within a Christian / biblical paradigm, my argument makes perfect sense.
You appear to be an atheist or agnostic; in reading several of your comments. Is that true?
Analogy is perfectly fine as an illustrative teaching aid, but not as an argument. It's one thing to say, for example, that you gotta be prepared for the kingdom of heaven, like ten virgins bringing lamps to meet a bridegroom. It's quite another to do the reverse: to assume a passage must be talking about purgatory through analogy and then argue from there. If there had been a passage that said something like "Purgatory exists and its kind of like how God punishes people on earth," then you'd have a case and that would be a good illustrative analogy.
That's not an analogical argument at all. It would be a self-understood factual statement [within the biblical paradigm] that happened to include a [non-essential as to its factuality] analogy within itself.
I'll check out the article you posted when I get a chance. Thanks.
Like all arguments from analogy, it is one of plausibility, not one of intended "absolute proof." In fact, I think all the arguments for God are of the same nature.
. . . such arguments belong in the category of inductive reasoning, since their conclusions do not follow with certainty but are only supported with varying degrees of strength.
. . . Analogical reasoning is fundamental to human thought . . . Historically, analogical reasoning has played an important, but sometimes mysterious, role in a wide range of problem-solving contexts. The explicit use of analogical arguments, since antiquity, has been a distinctive feature of scientific, philosophical and legal reasoning.
I asked you if you were an atheist or agnostic.
As an atheist, what am I doing wrong?
Presumably, since I don't believe in God, I have no reason to believe that humans have value. And yet I do. I must be a bad atheist.

Meet The Most Famous and Smartest Dog In Hollywood, Jumpy
Deli Xu	November 7, 2017 November 7th, 2017
I read about this actor, crazy actor. Multi-talented.
Surfer, skateboarder. Paints landscapes, plays the piano. Full deck of tricks, been known to walk down stairs using only his two arms. Even heard once he's a synchronized swimmer. He's done everything. Movies, TV, Commercials. Real special.
Oh, and he's also a dog.
So that's why they call him Jumpy.
But he's much more than that. Most recently, Jumpy was featured in the film "In The Valley Of Violence" starring alongside Ethan Hawke and John Travolta, among others.
Referring to an incident in which Ethan Hawke's hat flew off his head while the camera was rolling (which would normally be means to stop everything, and reset the shot) only to have Jumpy, turn around, grab it, and bring it back to him. It was pure improve:
"He was participating in the creativity of the film, which is insane," says Hawke. Jumpy knew that he was acting, that today he was Paul's dog. "Usually, even if the dog is really well-trained, he might do that if the trainer's hat went off his head. Jumpy did it when my hat went off my head. And he didn't bring it back to his trainer — he brought it back to me."
Jumpy's story is an intersting one, and like most actors who make it to stardom, it involved just a little luck.
His trainer, Oman von Muller, is originally from Barranquilla, Colombia, following his brother to Miami shortly after high school. A life-long lover of animals, and a self-taught trainer, he was surprised to see an ad for a Canine Academy in the newspaper. "I was like, 'What? You get paid for doing this?!'" says von Muller. He applied, and a few weeks later he was promoted to head trainer.
After Hurricane Andrew wiped out the gulf, encouraging him to make the move to Los Angeles, von Muller started to assemble a roster of talented dogs. Superstars of various breeds, under his guidance. But what he was wanting, was a Border Collie.
When he saw a paper advertising an 8-week old puppy for 50 bucks, he knew it was worth the two hour drive. But when he got there, it was a disappointment. A teenage boy had posted the ad, and the pup wasn't even a purebred, but a mut. It wasn't what von Muller was looking for, so he left empty handed.
"The next day, the teenager called in a panic. The puppy wouldn't stop barking. If von Muller didn't take it, his dad was going to throw him out on the street. Von Muller said he'd rescue the dog for $20 — if the kid met him halfway on the road.
"I bought him mainly to get him away from that situation," says von Muller. "I wasn't planning on keeping him." Von Muller's daughter asked what a dog like that was good at. "Jumping," he answered. "Jumpy!" she cried. OK, the puppy can have a temporary name, thought von Muller. For now."
Von Muller began posting videos of Jumpy on Youtube, and they got real popular real fast. Soon, Hollywood was knocking at the door and the offers were coming in.
Jumpy would be a star.
One of the greatest things about von Muller is that he doesn't take in new dogs unless he personally connects with them. Because every dog he works with is also his pet.
So it rings true once again:
True success, stems from true passion.

Nel 302 o 301 a.C., poco dopo avere giustiziato suo padre, Mitridate di Cio, il diadoco Antigono divenne diffidente verso suo figlio che aveva ereditato il dominio familiare di Cio e venne così motivato ad escogitare un piano orientato a uccidere il ragazzo. Questi ricevette in modo tempestivo da Demetrio Poliorcete la notizia  riguardo alle intenzioni di Antigono, e fuggì via con alcuni seguaci in Paflagonia, dove occupò una fortezza inespugnabile, chiamata Cimiata. Raggiunto da numerosi corpi di truppe provenienti da zone diverse, gradualmente estese i suoi domini nel Ponto creando le premesse per la nascita di un nuovo regno, che si può presumere sia sorto verso il 281 a.C. circa, quando Mitridate assunse il titolo di basileus (re). Nello stesso anno, lo troviamo a concludere un'alleanza con la città di Eraclea Pontica, in Bitinia, per proteggersi contro Seleuco. Nel periodo successivo Mitridate chiede aiuto ai Galati (che più tardi si sistemeranno in Asia Minore) per rovesciare una forza speditagli contro da Tolomeo, re d'Egitto. Questi sono gli eventi documentati del suo regno, durato 36 anni, al quale successe il figlio Ariobarzane. Sembra che Mitridate Ctiste sia stato sepolto in una tomba reale nei pressi della capitale del regno, Amasia. Vicino a lui sarebbero sepolti tutti i re del Ponto fino alla caduta di Sinope nel 183 a.C.

Secondo Appiano, Mitridate Ctiste era l'ottavo discendente dal primo satrapo del Ponto sotto Dario il Grande e il sesto ascendente da Mitridate Eupatore. Tuttavia, questo punto è controverso dato che Plutarco  scrive che otto generazioni di re del Ponto originarono da lui prima dell'assoggettamento romano.
