Flavor: You'd think that Starbucks, a company known for selling a product that's notorious for causing nasty breath, would make a gum with an Altoids-like "pop" to it. Not the case with this gum. It's a very mellow mint, and the flavor fades really fast. The package proclaims a "cool burst of minty freshness," but there is no burst at all. It doesn't taste bad, just… blah.
Texture: This gum is really weird. First off, it looks like mints. It's like someone accidentally spilled some gum base pellets into the breath mint hopper, and some warehouse dude was like "Let's see what happens…" and this gum was born. It reminds me a lot of Razzles, except for grownups. It starts off really chalky and eventually does congeal, but the wad that's left is really waxy. There will be no cracking or popping with this gum – it's seriously like wax lips.
Presentation: Nice job by Starbucks here. This gum is presented neatly in a little slide-top metal tin, and all the little gum-mints are lined up inside. It's almost like they could have added a special graphic or something and put a marketing spin on it, "Collect all four!" or something.
Overall: The only time I can see anyone buying this gum is on a severe impulse or desperation, much like my co-worker did. She ate some Mexican food for lunch and stopped for a cup of coffee on her way back to work, and realized that her carnitas were funking up her breath, so she picked up the pack in Starbucks. I certainly don't see this as anyone's favorite gum, or even anyone making a special trip to Starbucks to pick it up. As pretty as it looks, it's not a great gum.

Q: Calculation method for a British Standard based on finding an ellipse given tangents? This problem stems from a British Standard for staircases, of all things (BS 5395-1 2010, diagram B4 p.27), which prescribes the position of stairs when they turn a corner. I've tried to find an easy way to calculate the positions rather than use "pen and paper", but because it's based on ellipses, I can't find a way to create a good calculation method for it. I've abstracted the "real world" problem and would like ideas how best to approach it.
Definitions:

*

*P1, P2 and P3 are three arbitrary points not in a straight line; (x1,y1) are the co-ordinates of P1; L1 and L2 are the line segments P1-P3 and P2-P3.

*e is an ellipse drawn tangent to L1 at P1 and tangent to L2 at P2.

*k is an arbitrary parameter required to fix one specific ellipse e out of the many ellipses that could be drawn - needed because the original problem only specifies 4 constraints for an ellipse, and an ellipse needs 5.

*G is a number > 0 that is "small-ish" compared to the distance between P1 and P2 (in the real world problem G would be about 20% to 50% of the distance between P1 and P2). This condition ensures that the intersection (x2,y2) described below actually exists, and that the problem isn't pathological or degenerate.

The problem is to determine formulaically - ie not using approximations - the points (x1,y1) (x2,y2) etc constructed by this algorithm:

*

*Draw the points P1, P2, P3 and the line segments L1, L2.

*Draw an ellipse e that is tangent to L1 at P1 and tangent to L2 at P2. Because there may be an infinity of such ellipses (4 constraints, 5 required), this step requires us to create some convenient way to parameterise the problem with a 5th parameter "k" which can be varied to choose one unique ellipse out of all possible tangential ellipses for a given {P1, P2, P3}.

*Draw a circle radius G centre P1. Because of the "small-ish" limit on G, this circle will intersect the ellipse e at some point of its arc between P1 and P2. Call this point (x2,y2).

*Continue repeating step 3, at each iteration drawing a circle radius G centre (x(n),y(n)) and call the next intersection with the ellipse e, (x(n+1),y(n+1)), then a circle centre (x(n+1), y(n+1)) with intersection (x(n+2),y(n+2)), etc. Stop when we would go past P2. In the "real world" problem we will have constructed no more than 4, perhaps 5 points (x2,y2) through (x4 or x5, y4 or y5).

The "stop at P2" constraint means our solution doesn't need to consider any intersections on the "return arc" of the ellipse;  and the smallness of G means that our circle at (say) (x3,y3) must always intersect the ellipse e at just two points: (x2,y2) which we already know, and (x4,y4) which is the point we want - it can't touch the "far side" of the ellipse or fail to touch it at all.

The problem is to pick a convenient parameterisation method ("k") and then, given arbitrary P1, p2, P3, G, k, determine the co-ordinates of all (xn,yn). I'd like to avoid "brute force" methods such as approximation techniques but I can't see how.  Is there a "sensible" way to do this algebraically? How might I go about it?
Diagram for this problem
Update 1:
I solved the first part (I think) by using a property of tangents to an ellipse, namely that lines from either focus of an ellipse to a point on its perimeter, will make a constant angle with the tangent at that point. Switching that around, if I choose 0 <= α < 90 as an arbitrary angle, then a line at α to the tangent must pass through a focus of the ellipse, from both P1 and P2. I can therefore find my unique ellipse, which is the first part of the problem, this way:

*

*Construct the normals N1 and N2, passing through P1 and P2 (easy, as I have the direction of the tangents at both points).

*Pick an arbitrary angle 0 <= α < 90. This will be my parameter "k" above, the 5th parameter needed to identify a unique ellipse among all possible solutions.

*Rotate both normals around their respective points by (α). That is, rotate N1 using centre P1 and rotation = α, and rotate N2 using centre P2 and rotation = α. Identify the point these intersect as F1.

*Do the same again, but this time rotating both normal by (-α). Again the normals will intersect and call this point F2.

*The unique ellipse for (P1, P2, L1, L2, α) is an ellipse with foci (F1) and (F2). Its eccentricity can be found by usual ellipse properties as we know both foci and a point on the perimeter (ie the distance F1-P1-F2 etc). Its axes can be found by constructing the line F1-F2 and its bisector, and so on.

Note, I used the normal not the tangent because then the foci are at +/- α, not α and (180-α), which is simpler :)
Also, the family of solutions can be found by varying α, and I think that this must generate all solutions since any ellipse that is a solution must by definition have lines from its foci to P1 and P2 that are at some identical angle (α) to L1 and L2.

Now just to solve the intersection of the circles and the ellipses.
So far, is this correct? Is this necessary, or n & sufficient?
diagram of this update, showing constructions

(this bit struck out as incorrect, see comment below)

A: Here's a geometric way to parameterize your ellipses. Let $V$ be the midpoint of $P_1P_2$ and $Q$ the midpoint of $P_3V$. Choose another point $P$ of the ellipse at will on $QV$: then the center $C$ of the ellipse lies on line $P_3V$ and
$$
CV={PV^2\over P_3V-2PV}.
$$
Given $P$, the ellipse is uniquely determined, because we have its center and three points ($P_1$, $P_2$ and $P$). So $P$ (or the length $PV$) can serve as a parameter to generate all possible ellipses.
This construction is based on the following property (adapted from: Drew, Conic Sections, Prop. XVIII p. 48):

If from an external point $P_3$ a pair of tangents $P_3P_1$, $P_3P_2$
be drawn to an ellipse of centre $C$, and $CP_3$ be joined meeting
$P_1P_2$ in $V$ and the ellipse in $P$; then $P_1P_2$ will be bisected
in $V$ and $CP$ will be a mean proportional to $CV$ and $CP_3$.

A: I came back to this a year later, with a different approach and help from the answers on this question. Essentially what I had tried to do, was solve and plot the equation of the ellipse itself, which on the face of things is what the standard requires. What I did second time around was use affine transforms on the unit circle.  Quick summary:
The transforms I looked at, preserve things like tangency, and transforms ellipses (including circlers) into ellipses, and straight lines into straight lines. So I looked at two sets of transforms:

*

*the transform to send points (x,y) on a unit circle to points (x,y) on an ellipse oriented at 45 degrees, which touched and had as tangents the lines x=1 and y=1.  (There's a whole family of such ellipses which could meet this condition, so of necessity one must introduce an arbitrary parameter to select from this family, one specific ellipse.) I could then calculate trivially the co-ordinates, angles, and anything else for points on the unit circle and derive from them, the "equivalent" points for a suitably tangential ellipse which I could then plot and work with.

*a transform which maps the lines x=1, y=1 to the lines in my problem that must be tangents to the solution ellipse.

These were both straightforward. I then started with the points on a unit circle, and an arbitrary parameter "p", and transformed the points to points on an ellipse tangent to x=1,y=1. I then ytransformed these points further, to obtain points on an ellipse which was tangent to the lines in my actual problem. Had I needed an actual formula, I could have obtained it much the same way, by tracking the old -> new conic obtained in these two steps and the new conic equation resulting.
Admittedly it can be done faster and more strightforwardly in other ways as answers to this and other questions showed, but I lacked the skill and knowledge to do so.

Growing skull fracture (GSF), also known as leptomeningeal cyst, is a rare but significant complication of pediatric head injury. It is mainly seen in infancy and childhood. GSFs of the posterior fossa are uncommon, and intradiploic location in the posterior fossa is extremely rare. Only a few cases of pediatric GSF of the posterior fossa and intradiploic location have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy who had large intradiploic GSF of the posterior fossa, associated with cervical syringomyelia. The lesion developed progressively over a period of 5 years following a documented occipital linear fracture. This case of a GSF developing from a known occipital linear fracture demonstrates that a GSF may reach a considerable size, and although uncommon, intradiploic development and occipital localization of a GSF are possible. Syringomyelia associated with posterior fossa GSF is very unusual which makes this case even more unique.

Iron tissue overload can be detected non-invasively by CMR using T2* measurements techniques. Hemochromatosis is a disorder of iron metabolism that results in excess iron accumulation in tissues and organs. If left undiagnosed and untreated, iron overload can cause serious, sometimes fatal health problems. Early detection of iron overload and hemochromatosis treatment can prevent complications and prolong life.
Our objective was to investigate T2* measurements in patients with suspected hemochromatosis and to compare different approaches on T2* calculation for the myocardium and liver.
We evaluated 42 consecutive patients with suspected hemochromatosis using CMR in a 1.5 T GE HDx scanner. We performed breath-hold fast GRE sequence on a short-axis view (including liver tissue in the same image) with several in-phase TEs(from 27.6 to 4.2 ms) and fixed TR of 31 ms to calculate T2* for the liver and myocardium using both, the entire signal intensity (SI) curve (T2* = 1/exp) and only 2 points (9.6 and 4.2 ms) with the following equation: -((9.6-4.2)/LN(SI @9.6/SI@4.2)). We will call them curve and formula T2* calculations, respectively. For the liver iron overload we also used the technique described by Rennes University, described in detail elsewhere http://www.radio.univ-rennes1.fr/Sources/EN/HemoTech.html.
From the 42 patients with suspected hemochromatosis, 14 had a mutation of HFE gene detected (more commonly heterozygosis of C282Y or H63D). Mean serum ferritin level was 745.9 ± 364.8 μg/L (Nl < 300 for men and < 200 for women). Mean myocardial T2* was 32.1 ± 10.0 and 29.5 ± 11.3 ms for curve and formula calculations, respectively (p = 0.04). Mean liver T2* was 15.5 ± 6.8 and 15.2 ± 8.1 for curve and formula calculations, respectively (p = 0.41). Both methods correlated well for myocardium (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) and for liver (r = 0.94, p < 0.001). For myocardium a better correlation was seen for the T2* < 20 ms (r = 0.87, p < 0.001).
Bland-Altman analysis showed T2* mean difference of 2.6(CI 0.1-5.0) and 0.4 ms (CI -0.6-1.3) for myocardium and liver comparisons, respectively, between curve and formula calculations. Most of cases had mild liver iron overload by Rennes method, with mean T2* of 15.4 ± 5.7 and maximal T2* of 31.5 ms (below the normal value of 35 ms), indicating good agreement.
Measurements of T2* in patients with suspected hemochromatosis could detect all ranges of myocardial and liver iron overload, and thus contributing to clinical management. The different approaches of myocardial and liver T2* calculations led to similar results, indicating that they could be used interchangeably. The 2 point formula approach could be a faster option for T2* image acquisition and calculation.

What better way to start the New Year, than by remembering all that happened in the old one. Here are the top 10 highlights of 2019, that make for markers to start the New Year.
Farmer field schools (FFS)
While Farmers' Field Schools have been successful internationally, it was for the first time that BCT KVK brought local implementation. Given the impracticality for scientists to visit multiple places at once, the concept of FFS was launched in the month of May in 5 villages of Dimili, Teruvupalli, Mamidivada, JV Palem and Haripalem. Farmers are evincing good participation and an enthusiasm to learn.
Dr. BV Parameswara Rao passes away
The year 2019 brought with it deeply saddening losses as well. June 9 was a dark day, as BCTs founding father Dr. BV Parameswara Rao passed away. His demise left thousands in tears, and condolences poured in from various quarters. Many sent notes of their association with Dr. Rao, and how he had shaped their decisions to work for social causes or even return to India to work for the country.
Trainings for women
From bakery to mushroom units, from tailoring to value addition to commonly available jackfruit, a range of training programs were conducted over the year for women. Saplings were distributed to enable homestead gardens, and women learnt how to prepare nutritious food for infants as well. Through these programs, 100s of women received training in 2019 across villages and can set up their own units.
"Prerana" program
July marked the launch of the Prerana program in tribal areas. The result of a collaboration between BCT, the Department of School Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, VIBHA, USA and Sikshana Foundation, Bengaluru, this initiative will work to improve the standards of education for 78,000 tribal children from class 1st to 8th. Encouraging peer-to-peer learning, the initiative is receiving positive response from both teachers and students.
Meity with IT
BCT-conceptualized 'Grameena Incubation Center', was selected as one of the 34 Incubation Centers across India. Selected under the Technology Incubation for Development of Entrepreneurs (TIDE 2.0), BCT will now start 2 agriculture based Incubation centers per year for the next 5 years. Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), New Delhi, will provide support to ideate and field-test ideas.
QRT Team visits
November 27th and 28th marked the visit by the Quinquennial Review Team (QRT) to BCT KVK. Reviewing the work undertaken from 2011 to 2019, the team visited the cluster villages under DFI (Doubling the farmers income), gave valuable inputs and interacted with villagers.
Training for PwDs
Customised training for specially abled at SMART centers became a reality. 14 trainees with intellectual disabilities from Arunodaya Special School, were chosen for the Gajuwaka center, while 9 were selected for the Autonagar SMART Technical center. The training programme started on December 3, 'World Disability Day'. Students at SMART T Autonagar will learn to assemble electronic devices while those at Gajuwaka center will learn CRS (Customer relationship and sales), Basic IT and typing skills.
TRC Phase 2 begins
Reaching to the physically challenged people, affected in Hudhud cyclone through BCT is the Tata Relief Committee programme. On 6th November, Phase 2 was inaugurated. 229 People with disabilities (PwDs) were identified as beneficiaries and 83 PwDs from 41 villages from 10 mandals attended the assessment camp for prosthetics, orthotics, special chairs.
Accolades & more
Constantly measuring its success through the success of its stakeholders, Team BCT had many reasons to rejoice this year. Farmer Smt.Desagiri Bangaramma from the tribal village of Thajangi, flew to Delhi, to participate at the 'Farm innovators meet 2019' on July 16 and 17. Farmer Sri Janapareddy Chinna attended the Indian Science Congress at Bengaluru. On May 24 BCT KVK also ranked Number 1, nationally, for its implementation of 23 training programmes under the Krishi Kalyan Abhiyaan.
"Cheyutha" program for adolescents
Awareness on life skills, reproductive health, hygiene and nutrition, and other social issues for adolescents, was on focus through 2019. Tackling the issues of child marriages, early motherhood, health and gender discrimination, the initiative spread awareness to 11-16 year olds at their schools.

Having a personal touch is such a great thing.Thanks Again.
Just a quick message to let you know that I have recieved the two bull terrier harnesses, they are fantastic, excellent quality.
I went for my first walk with the two dogs in their harnesses this morning, it was a pleasure. My one and a half year old boy didnt pull at all, and my 9 year old girl didnt appear to be restricted, they were both able to play in their harnesses as well.
Hi, I sent you an email a few hours ago enquiring about the status of my order. Please disregard that email, I have just received the package. Excellent fast service, and glad that you declared a lower value for the order without me having to request such. I am a happy customer! Cheers!


Many thanks for recently visiting us. It was an interesting day for our children who gained a broader understanding of the Hindu faith after hearing you talk and answer some of their questions. The children enjoyed practising the Hindu greeting, looking at the books, artefacts and posters that you brought along and smelling the wonderful sandalwood incense sticks. They especially enjoyed hearing the story about Hanuman, The Monkey King! Your visit had more than an R.E focus as it extended into other curriculum areas – the poetry, stories, yoga and sari demonstration enhanced the children's learning in English, PE and Geography. The whole school assembly that you delivered meant that our Y1 children and even Foundation Stage were able to benefit from the time you spent in our school!
We loved your work with our school assembly and with my class and those of colleagues around performance poetry, tongue twisters, bilingual nursery rhymes and storytelling. It is excellent for our children to meet such a talented author.
Our school prides itself on multicultural work and our India Project has also greatly benefitted from the focus on rangoli patterns, yoga, sari wearing, Indian festivals, games and food. The children were fascinated to see your books and many interesting posters and artefacts of Indian interest, as you can tell from their correspondence with you. You were a huge success in our school. We especially appreciated your dedication, flexibility and helpful nature.

BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon 9
WAITING FOR THE STARTS…
Today is a relatively calm day in Khanty-Mansiysk. Athletes will have training in the evening and March'19 will be the day of the first race of the competitions – men's sprint. However, the process of getting ready for the conclusive races of the season is in full swing.
The official photograph of the media-centre of the World Cup Final tried to depict the atmosphere on the stadium.
The first journalists have arrived to the media-centre of the competitions. Around 100 media representatives from Russia, Germany, Norway, Austria and other countries will be giving coverage to the races of the World Cup Final.
A smiley media-centre team member Maxim is working at the information desk and is always ready to assist journalists in settling any issue.
Concession stands are places in the souvenir and catering zone of the stadium. According to the salesmen, merchandise for sport fans is traditionally very popular among the visitors.
The stadium is looking forward to the start of the races of world's best biathletes. Ugra is also waiting for the Winter Deaflympics that will begin in Khanty-Mansiysk a few days after the closing of the World Cup. By the way, the funicular going to the alpine skiing complex "Khvoyny Urman" is seen on this picture. The complex will host the competitions in snowboarding and alpine skiing.
The wind is very strong and catchy today in Khanty-Mansiysk. Biathletes and coaches hope that the conditions for shooting will be better on the days of races.
A four-legged fan of biathlon was spotted on the stadium. By the way, after every race the medal-winners are riding reindeer sleighs. Reindeers will come to Khanty-Mansiysk from Surgut region. Many of the animals have a big experience in dealing with world champions and Olympic winners in the past.
The last preparation works are being done on the track and the shooting range. It's good that there's plenty of snow in Ugra.
The whole media-centre team says hello to this volunteer girl! Don't get bored, it will be much funnier tomorrow!

Supreme Court Restarts "Remain in Mexico"
Plus: House approves $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that includes lawful permanent residency for undocumented children and others
BY Deanna Garcia Aug 26, 2021
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration must restart the Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as "Remain in Mexico." This Trump-era program has forced more than 71,000 immigrants and asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their court hearings. After President Biden paused the program, a lower court ruled that the government needed to restore it. The federal government then turned to the Supreme Court and asked for a stay on restarting the program, which Justice Samuel Alito granted on Friday. But the Supreme Court said the administration "failed to show a likelihood of success on the claim that the memorandum rescinding the Migrant Protection Protocols was not arbitrary and capricious," and said it needed to be restored while the courts decide the program's fate.

House Approves $3.5T Budget Outline
The U.S. House approved a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation blueprint on Wednesday. Among other measures, outline includes provisions for immigration. It would provide a pathway to lawful permanent residency for undocumented children, individuals who arrived from unsafe countries and farmworkers. "This legislation will be the biggest and perhaps most controversial initiatives that any of us have ever undertaken in our official lives," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Meanwhile Biden referred to the vote as "a step closer to truly investing in the American people." USA TODAY

FDA Approves America's Very first Cannabis Medication
medication designed for two rare forms of epilepsy
By: Riva Mendoza |@NeonNettle
on&nbsp25th June 2018 @ 2.00am
medication designed for two rare forms of epilepsy.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the very first Cannabis based medication designed for two rare forms of epilepsy.
RT reports: The drug, Epidiolex, is made from cannabidiol, or CBD, a component of marijuana known for its muscle-relaxing and pain-relieving properties.
Administered as a thick oil, CBD was found in clinical trials to drastically reduce seizures in patients suffering from Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.
Unlike THC, cannabis' other active component, CBD does not induce a high. Before Epidiolex can be brought to the market, however, the FDA will have to reclassify CBD, which is currently listed as a Schedule 1 drug alongside cocaine, heroin and LSD.
While Epidiolex will only be available to people suffering from two rare conditions, the approval represents a step forward for medical marijuana research, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement.
The FDA has previously approved synthetic versions of THC to treat nausea in chemotherapy patients, but has never approved any medication directly extracted from the cannabis plant.
"This is an important medical advance," Gottlieb said. "And, the FDA is committed to this kind of careful scientific research and drug development."
Marijuana is currently legal for medicinal use in 30 US states, and legal for recreational use in eight of those states.
Some states have more stringent definitions of 'medicinal marijuana' however. Louisiana, for example, only allows patients to consume cannabis-based medicine in oil or pill form, while other states limit medicinal marijuana to patients suffering from a select few rare illnesses.
The FDA's approval of Epidiolex is therefore a significant step towards guaranteeing access to cannabis-based treatment for patients across the country. Under the current system, people looking to treat their own or their children's illnesses with CBD have had to move to states where the compound is legal.
Without regulation, they risk inconsistent quality, inaccurate dosing, and uncertainty of supply.
Dravet syndrome appears early in children and causes frequent seizures, hyperactivity, and impaired motor skills.
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome also begins in childhood and causes multiple types of uncontrollable seizures.
An estimated one in five patients with either condition die before the age of 20.
Activists claim that CBD can be used to treat a long list of ailments, including AIDS, cancer, Parkinson's Disease, schizophrenia, arthritis, and strokes.
The FDA has taken a dim view of these claims, and has promised to take legal action against companies marketing unregulated CBD products to treat serious illnesses.
"We're especially concerned when these products are marketed for serious or life threatening diseases, where the illegal promotion of an unproven compound could discourage a patient from seeking other therapies that have proven benefits," said Gottlieb.
While the US takes tentative steps towards legalization, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last week that recreational marijuana use and cultivation will be fully legalized from October this year, lifting a 95-year ban.
Canada will become the first Western country to fully legalize pot on a nationwide level.
The only other country in the world to do so was Uruguay, in July last year.

"In situations of prejudice, dialogue means an abiding and genuine search for goodness, beauty, and truth... each person must be open to the fact that one can be enriched by the goodness, beauty and truth found in the other. Each must be ready to discover the face of God in the other's faith...."
Bishop Tudtud gave this message to the Christians in the Philippines particularly those in Mindanao because it could not be denied that one of the major reasons for the frequent conflicts between Muslims and Christians is the prejudice that Christians have against Muslims or vice-versa. Muslims presented Christians as land grabbers and oppressors who took away their lands from them. In the late1940's, Christians from the other parts of the Philippines settled in Mindanao in response to the President's decree about Mindanao as the "land of promise". On the other hand, Christians considered the Muslims as murderers, thieves and dirty. That is why the primary problem of the young church in Mindanao in relations with our Muslim brothers is the problem of peace.
What is the Church doing to resolve this conflict which is now a national issue because of the Muslim's demand for an independent Islamic State in Mindanao? In Mindanao, the people are caught in the culture of violence, confronted with threats that are greater now than ever. Problems like starvation and poverty, environmental decay, militarism, inequality, underdevelopment, sexism, ethnic and religious discrimination all provide indications of the dangers the Church faces.
The Church believes in the urgent need to address this situation. This culture of violence must be supplanted by a culture of peace, a culture that must be defined by paradigms of justice, unity, respect for all cultures and religions, a sensitiveness to our ecology and spirituality.
a) Bishops-Wama Forum to dialogue among the Catholic Bishops of Mindanao, Muslim Religious leaders and the NCCP Bishops who, in the spirit of inter-religious dialogue, affirm their common commitment to the peace process.
b) Silsilah Dialogue Movement to promote deeper understanding and better relations between Muslims and Christians together people of other faiths.
c) SALAM Foundation: Social and Literary Agenda for Muslims.
d) PAZ (Peace Advocates Zamboanga) is a Catholic organization with the purpose of working for peace, consolidating and strengthening good relations between Muslims and Christians and among all peoples.
e) Interfaith Dialogue Centers which are found in many dioceses and parishes in Mindanao.
f) Education for Peace Centers which are found in practically all Catholic schools in Mindanao with the primary objective of having peace education in the curriculum or integrating it in all subject disciplines.
2. The Daughter of Charity and their Apostolate with the Muslims.
The Daughters of Charity are present in two dioceses/prelatures which are predominantly Muslim: 85-90% in these two provinces.
Many of our works or apostolates are prelature- or parish-based; we are integrated in the pastoral work of the parish as Basic Ecclesial Community coordinators, Family Life Apostolate coordinators, working in catechetical programs, social and health services and above all in the education apostolate.
I am at present the administrator of a secondary school run by the Prelature. The school has a vital role in the mission of the Church in Mindanao for it serves as a point of entry to the Muslim communities.
1. Integrate the most important Christian and Islam teachings in Value Education classes. Teaching of human moral values is given primary focus in humanities classes. Values/virtues, life, love, forgiveness, respect for life, human rights, honesty, unity in diversity, etc. are talked about from the perspective of both Islam and Christianity. This is a beginning of interfaith dialogue with youth. The common understanding of such values as well as the acceptance of different experiences lead to a better understanding and acceptance of each other.
2. Separate religion classes. Muslim students go to their Islam class with the Ustadz teaching them. Christian students have their own class with the sisters. This strategy aims to deepen their knowledge and living out of their respective religion. In this way the Muslims are not afraid to study in our school. They feel respected and appreciated for their faith.
3. Have co-curricular activities in the school. All activities involve both Muslim and Christians. Important feasts of the Muslims are celebrated with Christian students participating; likewise with Christian activities. In fact, Muslims want to participate and take important roles in Christian presentations.
4. Foster the Parents' Councils Organization. We reach out to the Muslim parents through the school organization. We introduce some formation sessions in family life: caring and rearing of children; problems with adolescents; husband and wife relationship; role of women in the home and society, etc.
5. Make regular visits to the families of students. Muslim parents welcome our visit very much. Friendship with the family is developed. Trust and confidence are built between us and the Muslim family and the community as a whole.
All these initiatives have brought about a better understanding and harmonious relationship with our Muslim bothers and sisters.
In conclusion I can say that despite violence, threats and insecurities, the Daughters of Charity in Mindanao, Philippines, continue to remain faithful to our mission of witnessing to God's redeeming love for the poor, especially those of different faiths from us, with renewed vigour and enthusiasm, hope and love, as St. Vincent and St. Louise would want us to do and to be.


We've been busy these past couple of weeks with end-of-school parties and an out of town trip, so The Pea and I haven't really had a chance to sit down and continue our exploration of Yoursphere, the safety-first kids social networking site. As a MomCentral Yoursphere Test Drive Mom, I appreciate all the parental controls Yoursphere has to make sure our kids' online experience is safe, yet fun. The Pea appreciates all the fun things to do on Yoursphere, like their virtual world, spheres, and now contests.
When she logs onto her Yoursphere home page, she can easily see all the contests that are currently open. All she has to do is click on them to see if she wants to enter or not.
Entry is limited to Yoursphere users so again, your child's email and information are kept safe. The entries are simple and easy so kids don't feel discouraged. And the prizes are nice enough to get them juiced up to enter and win. What kid wouldn't want $20 to spend at Pac Sun? Heck, I'd want $20 to spend at Pac Sun!
I think they need to check some technical deets for some contest entries, though. This one says you can email your entry essay of 200 words or less to yourfavoriteplace@yoursphere.com. But then it also has a "Submit an entry" button, which brings up a Submission field. I assume the child types in his essay into this field -- but this field is limited to only 122 characters, not 200 words. Why even have this field if you can't submit a 200-word essay?
Other than that, these contests are great fun, and a great way to keep kids interacting on Yoursphere. If your kids likes contests, or prizes, or both, sign him or her up now on Yoursphere.com!
Anyone who registers on Yoursphere.com (don't worry, it's free!) using my unique Test Drive Mom code -- YSMC-0045 -- will be entered into a weekly drawing to win a $50 gift card.
Don't forget: sign up with referral code YSMC-0045and you'll be entered to win a $50 gift card!
Disclosure: I wrote this post while participating in the Yoursphere Test Drive program by Mom Central on behalf of Yoursphere. I received a free lifetime Gold membership on Yoursphere.com; I will also be receiving Yoursphere t-shirts, and a $50 American Express gift card to facilitate my review. The views and opinions expressed here are my own.
Note: I am not administering the $50 gift card giveaway.


Any type of data damage to your QuickBooks company file can cost you several years' worth of data causing your small business to suffer. A QuickBooks database is not likely to get corrupted as the application has been designed to make it almost bug-free. The risk of file corruption increases gradually as you face intermittent problems of connection interruptions, power blips, or disk crashes. QuickBooks provides a set of utilities for repairing this damage and making your file corruption-free as before. Let us go through all of these built-in tools that you can rely on to fix corrupt QuickBooks files before you upload them to Data Services.
If corruption has hit your company file, then QuickBooks 'Rebuild Data' utility can be used to repair the damage. The time taken by this tool to make repairs will depend on the severity of the damaged incurred and the length of the QuickBooks database. 'Rebuild Data' may not be able to fix everything and you may require seeking outside help or expertise.
To run this tool, you need to log in as an administrator and then switch to the single user mode. Before proceeding further, you should resort all lists and make note of file size, transactions, targets, and links via the Product Information Window. Additionally, click 'Window' and then 'Close All' to close all the currently opened windows.
Go to 'File', select 'Utilities', and then 'Rebuild Data'.
If QuickBooks asks you to take a backup, click OK.
A 'Create Backup' window is displayed. Choose 'Local Backup'.
Click 'Options' and provide a destination path for the backup file.
Choose 'Complete verification' and click 'OK'. Click 'Next'.
Specify a name for the backup file and click 'Save'.
Once the backup is finished, QuickBooks will automatically run the 'Rebuild Data' utility.
Click 'OK'. Close the company file and reopen it.
Open the Product Information Window and verify what changes have been made to the file.
QuickBooks File Doctor is a diagnostics tool for QuickBooks that can be used to fix data corruption in the company file, Windows setup problems, and network setup problems. This tool has File Repair and Network diagnostics enabled by default. It can be used to fix '.QBW' and '.QBA' files only. Before installing this utility, you should disable User Account Control (UAC) temporarily to be able to perform network tests as well. You can change network options via 'Advanced Options' button.
Click 'Browse' to locate the company file. Select the file to be repaired and click 'Open'.
You will be prompted to enter the administrator's password. Specify the required password and click 'OK'.
In the 'Network Access' window, select either 'Yes' or 'No' and click 'Next'.
Once the process is finished, go by the instructions provided.
In case the tool is unable to repair the damage, you should restore from the last backup taken and recreate all transactions that have occurred since then.
This tab will only show up if you have QuickBooks Database Server installed on your computer. The tool will check and fix the QuickBooks Network Descriptor. It will also correct the permissions required to operate smoothly in a multi-user environment.
This will help you verify the computer's settings in order to make the company file accessible from this workstation. It also checks firewalls and ports.
In case these built-in utilities are unable to fix corrupt QuickBooks files, use professional QuickBooks file repair tools. These software can work for any level of damage and help you recover every single detail from your corrupt QuickBooks database.

World Series champ Red Sox accept invitation to White House
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have accepted an invitation to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship.
"We've accepted and we're going to see if there's a date that works," team President Sam Kennedy said Monday night before the premiere of the ballclub's 2018 highlight video.
Once a standard, non-partisan perk of winning it all, the traditional champions' visit to Washington has become more politicized. Some teams have declined invitations from President Donald Trump; in other cases, individual players stayed home.
Kennedy says it's up to players to decide whether they want to attend.
"Like in the past, it's an invitation. It's not a mandatory, command performance," he said. "It's an opportunity for these guys to get the recognition they deserve for a world championship."
Manager Alex Cora said he'll be there.
A native of Puerto Rico, Cora has been vocal in his call for the president to do more in the wake of Hurricane Maria that devastated the island.
"I'm going to use my platform the right way," he said. "I'm not going there to embarrass anybody."

5 Ways Iran's Nuclear-Weapon Program Became Accepted Wisdom
Russ Wellen: It's odd that more people don't take the time to acquaint themselves with the technical issues surrounding Iran's alleged nuclear-weapons program.
Russ Wellen
More and more men and women are either born with a talent for, or are developing skill in, technical matters, especially computer hardware and software. With those capabilities now widespread, it's odd that more people don't take the time to acquaint themselves with the technical issues surrounding Iran's alleged nuclear-weapons program.
While the issues may be somewhat daunting to nontechnical types such as this author ― though certainly not beyond our capacity to understand with a little effort ― they're easy for the technically gifted. True, they're on the dry side, but it can't be any more tedious than trying to figure out how to draw more clicks to an ad.
Apologies if it seems like I'm trying to shame people into reading Gareth Porter's recent book, Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare (Just World Books, 2014). In the course of the book, he outlines how the United States and Israel, supported by England, France, and Germany, along with the media, used fabricated evidence to make it appear as if Iran were developing nuclear weapons. Five elements of the campaign follow:
The discovery of the Natanz enrichment facility in 2002. Writes Porter:
"The United States and its allies … exploited Iran's nuclear secrecy effectively to create a pervasive suspicion that Iran was using its civilian nuclear program to hide a covert ambition for nuclear weapons." Iran insisted on its right, as guaranteed by the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to enrich uranium, but had kept it secret for fear of an attack by the United States or Israel, as well as to hide Chinese cooperation both for China's and its own sakes.
"Like other states with uranium enrichment capabilities," writes Porter, "Iran expected such capabilities to add a 'latent deterrent' to its overt conventional deterrence of foreign aggression. … US officials and some intelligence analysts were well aware of that motive and recognized that it did not mean that Iran intended to obtain nuclear weapons. But one administration after another deliberately confused the two issues in public pronouncements."
Israel Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Benjamin Netanyahu "used the alleged threat from Iran's nuclear and missile programs to achieve a set of political-strategic aims that had little or nothing to do with Iran. [They] professed alarm about an Iranian threat that Israel's top intelligence officials did not accept and that served multiple political-diplomatic ends for their respective governments."
The George W. Bush administration "focused on the occupation of Iraq as the fulcrum of policy toward the rest of the region … to keep open a path to regime change in Iran. That entailed explicitly refusing to countenance an agreement between the European three (the United Kingdom, France, and Germany) with Iran in 2004-5 that would have committed Iran to a minimal nuclear program that would not have constituted a proliferation threat."
"Virtually every new quarterly report from the [International Atomic Energy Agency] on its investigation in 2004 and 2005 generated a new round of media stories of suspected Iranian covert enrichment or weapons work. … however, none of those suspicions turned out to be correct, and the IAEA had to acknowledge in the end that it had found no evidence of Iranian weapons-related activity in any of the cases it investigated."
Meanwhile, just as it did with Iraq and the weapons of mass destructions charges, the establishment media allowed itself to be led down the primrose path to another possible war. You'd think one nonexistent nuclear weapons program as a pretext for war per generation was enough.
If you wish to understand, once and for all, how the United States, Israel, their European allies, and the media willfully obscured the truth about Iran's uranium enrichment program, read Manufactured Crisis. Even if you're familiar with the issue, it's full of surprises.

With competition in Pakistan's telecommunication sector getting more and more intense in recent years, mobile phone companies have to keep a sharp on their top and bottom lines as competition has made revenue-generation harder than before.
Back in the days when the telecom sector was in nascent stages and flourishing, there weren't too many companies involved to cause intense competition, and users could have availed many of the services for free.
Now with a variety of taxes imposed and fees for services like balance inquiry, it can be safely said that for generating revenues and keeping profitability stable, mobile phone companies have to come up with strategies focused on cost-cutting and non-operating revenues.
Thanks for reading How to check prepaid Ufone balance with code?

I think that people who found this submarine are stupid because, they don't know their history. I think that they haven't known that this submarine was built in World War 1 or 2. It was for attacking wooden ships underwater. They were worked by men cranking handles that powered the ship. This metal thing had a bomb stuck onto the tip of it so it stuck the ships underwater and it exploded. Sometimes the sub sank d most of the time, it survived. I think that this ship was awesome and it might have had some men aboard.
REBUTTAL: Brandon, the submarine was built around the beginning of the Civil War, not World War 1 or World War 2. The article clearly says that the submarine was a 150 years old. The submarine was used to ship explosives on the ships in the Civil War.
Brandon, I disagree that the submarine isn't built during World War I or World War II, the submarine was only made during the beginning of the civil war, not in the time that other countries had fought in the war trying to defend their countries. Another thing that I disagree is that the bomb didn't just used to explode the wooden sub, the bomb was there on the tip of the submarine so that it is used to sink other ships that are fighting in the civil war.
The first steam powered submarine was made in the 1860s so i guess the hand powered sub was still common and the steam or engine built subs were rare. So this submarine was controlled all by hand.
This story was really pretty cool because i really love to learn history and social studies because i like to hear about the past.
i wonder how effort it wouldve taken to crank that submarine.or maybe there were multible people cranking it instead of one.but then how many people were cranking it.
It must be a pain to try to get that sub moving i read a book about it in elementary school but it didn't tell about how it sunk.


However, no sooner had Calorie pulled away, leaving the three travellers under a bus shelter, than it started raining cats and dogs and anvils. It was a very unpleasant turn of meteorological events, and within a moment, Sage, Dredly and Greta were up to their ankles in disgruntled dogs and cats hissing, barking and attacking each other. Accompanying this sudden cacophony were the intermittent yelps and squeals of cats and dogs unlucky enough to get hit by an anvil. Dredly looked out from under the shelter at the short dash to the terminal and safety.
"Shall we wait 'til it passes or make a dash for it?" He asked.
"Er, guys... I'm not so sure about this..." Said Greta slowly.
"Oh come on. What are you - a man or a mouse... Or an old woman... Or a polar bear...?" Sage's admonition trailed off with a whimper.
"Let's go!" Dredly shouted and dashed out, holding his suitcase over his head. There was a thump and a squeal as a dog bounced ungraciously off the case, and he had to kick a path through the irate animals to get to the terminal. But he finally made it unscathed. Turning, he saw the others following. Sage had decided not to put his case over his head and paid the penalty, for as he desperately struggled to untangle a cat from his hair, a Jack Russell desperately struggled to impregnate his leg. However, once he had punted the yelping Jack Russell across the road and thrown the cat onto the head of an unsuspecting business traveller, Sage, too, hopped into the shelter of the terminal. Greta was not so lucky. Even at the very moment when she was on the threshold of safety, tragedy - or rather a two hundred pound anvil - struck. There was a loud, sickening, crack and Greta fell into Dredly's arms. Fortunately, he tottered backwards through the doors and into the lobby, out of the rain. Unfortunately, he had a thousand pound polar bear lying on top of him. Fortunately, Sage, with his unlikely ox-like strength was able to pull Greta from Dredly's chest before he was crushed by the weight. Unfortunately, they now had a polar bear with an anvil injury.
"Looks bad! What are we going to do?" Asked Sage, gently cradling Greta's head in his arms.
Dredly stood up and looked around at the crowded terminal. There was only one thing for it.
"Is there a vet specializing in polar bear cranial injuries in the house?" He shouted at the top of his voice.
Greta was lucky that they had arrived at the airport at the same time as an international delegation of thalarctos maritimus experts. Within moments, she was receiving the best attention in the world.
The large team of specialized vets revived her after a short argument about methodology and found that there was nothing worse wrong than a nasty bruise and mild concussion. They gave her some tablets and then left her with fond farewells to go to their conference. After Sage and Dredly had waved them away, they entered the main terminal foyer.
"I think you should get back into that disguise." Said Sage, turning to Greta.
"Yeah, like... Good point - don't want to seem conspicuous..." She then tried to effect the change, but nothing happened.
"I can't... Seem to... Do it..." Greta replied through teeth gritted with the strain. Suddenly she puffed loudly, unable to strain any more.
Dredly looked at the nine foot bear, who stood there in now ill-fitting granny clothes, looking for all the world like a big bear in a bad disguise. He realised they had a problem on their hands.
"We're never going to get her through like this!" He exclaimed, shaking his hands in gesticulatory frustration.
"I know what we can do!" Shouted Sage.
"What?" Greta's face was full of expectancy, the tip of every hair looking eager to hear the plan.
"Let's... Eat!" Sage looked as though he'd just said something that solved all their problems, something that followed logically from the previous conversation, something useful, something that wasn't a crock. Greta's face fell, the hairs wilted, and she bowed her head.
"Maybe we can come up with a plan while we eat?" Dredly suggested, and since they hadn't stuffed their faces for at least half an hour, it was decided that it was the best move.
Oh but how they were spoilt for choice! There was everything from expensive fried English food to expensive fried American food! They went for the English choice. Once the purchases had been made, Sage looked dolefully at the one sausage and nineteen chips on his plate. They had cost him ten pounds.
"I'm glad I didn't bring my sheep now." He said sadly.
However, despite the cost, the saturated fat must have helped Dredly's brain, because as he was tucking into his pie and chip (a meal worth at least tuppence of the twelve pounds he had paid for it), he had an idea.
"I know how we can get you through customs, Greta. It's a simple double bluff. Now, anyone in the position of trying to smuggle a badly disguised bear onto a plane is bound to look a little nervous, right?"
"Right!" Greta and Sage both assented.
"Yeah..." Greta sounded a bit more hesitant.
"I guess it's the only idea we've got." Said Greta. Sage nodded and it was agreed they would try the plan after a few hours in the arcades.
Once they had played every game in the place – with Sage impressing many bystanders with his skill at House of the Dead and extensive lexicon of profanity when his character finally got torn to pieces - they collected their tickets and boldly went to the check-in.
"Remember, don't look nervous!" Dredly whispered to the others.
She wandered up as nonchalantly as possible and presented her passport. The woman and man behind the desk looked at her carefully from beneath their shiny peaked caps.
"Hello... Madam?" Said the woman.
"Hello." Greta replied, trying to sound as un-bearlike as possible.
"So, you're going abroad then?" Asked the man. Seemed like a strange question to ask at the outward-bound side of passport control, but perhaps that is the art of airport security personnel - to put suspects off guard by asking them banal questions.
"You don't look much like your photograph, madam." Said the woman, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Well, thank you very much, that will be all!" The woman said quickly, dropping the passport as soon as Greta had mentioned contagion. Greta took the passport and wandered through. Sage stepped up to the desk.
"Hello, sir. You going abroad for business or pleasure?" Asked the woman.
"Oh... Er..." Sage looked at Dredly for help. Dredly shrugged his shoulders - did going to America to potentially thwart an evil plot count as business or pleasure?
"Pleasure!" Sage blurted suddenly, but his response fell on deaf ears. The man and woman were looking carefully at Sage's T-shirt.
"Nice, isn't it." Sage sounded jovial. "Picked it up when the 'Dead played London a few years back on their 'Without a Net Tour'. It's signed on the back by a bloke I met in the car park... He wasn't in the band or nothing... He was just there, y'know... Er... Great gig... Yeah... Padstow..." Sage trailed off. His Cornish joviality had been replaced by nerves. They weren't eyeing the T-shirt with appreciation after all.
"So you and your friend there..." The Customs official pointed at Dredly, "You're both Grateful Dead fans, are you?"
"Yeah, we're Deadheads all right."
Sudden silence fell. Planes stopped for a moment in the air and everyone in the airport waited for the woman's response.
"Right, search them!" She cried and at once, Sage and Dredly were surrounded by half a dozen guards with guns.
"What? What's the matter?" Sage looked scared.
"That we've got good taste?" Sage ventured.
"Why should we bother when you can do it so well yourselves?" Dredly asked.
"Silence!" She cried, slapping Sage.
"Leave them free to lead lives of spiritual and physical fulfilment?" Sage suggested.
Her reply was wordless, but simply consisted of the slapping sound of rubber against skin as she pulled on a pair of worrying looking surgical gloves.
"Oh no! No no!" Dredly backed away slowly.
She stalked towards them, unscrewing the top from a jar of Vaseline. They backed up against a wall. They were hemmed in by the wall, the woman and five burly, salivating security guards, who were all far too moustachioed for Dredly's personal liking.
What dark secrets are Sage and Dredly hiding? Where are they hiding them? And how far will the Customs officers delve to find them? Does anyone really want to think about that?
"IT'S NOT HOW BIG IT IS..."


The recent New Jersey state appeals court ruling expanded the risk and liability considerations to include someone who knowingly sends a text to another person who's engaged in driving at the time and the distraction leads to a collision.
We hold that the sender of a text message can potentially be liable if an accident is caused by texting, but only if the sender knew or had special reason to know that the recipient would view the text while driving and thus be distracted.
This is a particularly important consideration for corporate fleets where intra-company communication may be very frequent between fleet drivers and management or dispatch.
Complete solutions for distracted driving should take into consideration the environment for both the senders and the receivers.
For example, Aegis has worked with our corporate clients to provide driving status indicators on enterprise unified communications systems (such as those provided by Cisco, Avaya or Microsoft) so that corporate dispatchers can see status at-a-glance. Additionally, single touch push-to-talk and similar features are available to facilitate communication that is critical to productivity while ensuring conformance with corporate safe driving policy and adherence to the law.
Nathan Seppa, of Science News, authored an excellent article last week entitled "Impactful Distraction - Talking while driving poses dangers that people seem unable to see."
There are several excellent infographics included in the article including the one shown below related to tunnel vision (or distractions which draw attention away from the routines that would provide a good representation of the driving environment) and "inattentional blindness" (or looking at something and not seeing it because the mind is elsewhere).
Regardless of our political beliefs, we can all agree that the loss of life in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade is tragic. But ABC News recently reminded us that, over the same 10 year period, we have lost more than five times as many lives to distracted driving accidents on our own highways here at home.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that distracted driving is a contributing factor in more than 386,000 injuries and more than 3,000 deaths every year.
To put that into perspective, you could fill any NFL stadium more than five times with the number of people who are injured by distracted drivers every year.
To put a finer point on it, in the last 10 years, America has lost five times as many husbands and wives, sons and daughters to distracted driving than to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Learning occurs through recognition of error". It is a simple precept. Yet, the recent train wreck in Spain that killed 79 people is a tragic reminder that human behaviour is sometimes very difficult to modify despite the recognition of error.
Stemming from the 2008 train accident in California that killed 25 people and injured 135 others and the irrefutable research regarding the dangers of distraction due to mobile device use while operating motor vehicles, mobile device use policies are increasingly common across corporate America.
However, leaders in safety are well aware that paper policies and education related to mobile device use in vehicles are not enough. Safety audits and primary research results show that policy infractions invariably reach 100% of employees when measured over a 30-60 day period.
Technology safety solutions can help us address the problems that the pervasive use of mobile products has created. Policy conformance and enforcement tools can assist employees in adhering to policies and can help mitigate a major source of risk and liability for corporations.
Our goal at Aegis is help create a safer environment for employees and the public at large. Call us to schedule a demo today.

According to the latest "Who's Hungry" report by the Daily Bread Food Bank, food bank visits in Toronto are back to levels seen during the height of the recession, almost ten years ago.
Indeed, many of our own co-op members may be going without proper nourishment.
With this in mind, DFC is launching the Nourish program, aimed at alleviating the food gap for our own co-op members who may be in need. Nourish will be funded through internal and external donations, that will enable us to maintain and allocate $25.00 grocery gift cards to members, by request, as needed. All requests are strictly confidential, and can be made to Ali or Ryan, starting in early December.
All members have to do is ask.
The co-op will be accepting monetary donations from members who are able to contribute to the Nourish fund. If members were planning on giving a holiday gift to staff, we ask that you please consider a Nourish donation instead. No amount is too small, and all donations will be gratefully accepted. Please stay tuned for more details about how to donate.

Holy LEGO Batman – 76052 Batman Classic TV Series Batcave details
NOTE: We saw some awesome, but blurry, photos of the new Batcave set due out later this year. They're still available on the internet (everything is always on the internet), but LEGO has been contacting sites and asking them to remove the images. We're not going to risk the wrath of LEGO and will hold out for an official announcement and images before sharing.
Set 76052 Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave first appeared on Facebook this morning, courtesy of Alan Pérez in Panama City, with the picture showing the front and back of the box. The set looks very complete if you're a Batman fan and contains a total of 9 (nine!) minifigures. It also has models of the Batmobile, Batcycle, Batcopter, Batcave (of course) and a section of Wayne Manor.
The nine minifigures seem to be: Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne (Adam West), Dick Grayson (Burt Ward), Alfred Pennyworth, The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin and Catwoman! That's a LOT of minifigures and really captures the whole villain team from the original series. One of the main missing figures is Mr. Freeze and speculation is that the minifigure that appeared online recently could be a promotional polybag released with this set, but not included.
The details all seem to be there, down to the sidecar of the Batcycle and the "fire poles" used by Bruce and Dick when heading to the Batcave from the Manor.
One site is reporting that the set will be available on February 17th for VIP Members online and in LEGO Brand stores, and then March 1st for non-VIP members. We can't guess at a price because the photos didn't show a piece count for the project, but given the size of the set and complexity, it's likely to be in the $200USD range at least.
