Reading this chapter will report what can be done over and above the use of insulin and classical dietetics. I am very familiar with Type I (insulin dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes), as two members of my family have it. As this is not a medical text, the author does not describe the symptomatology and treatment using insulin. (By the way, doctors who treat diabetes are practicing orthomolecular medicine without knowing it, for they are using a hormone that is naturally present in the body.) Dr. Saul lists and describes both positive and negative factors in dealing with this condition. Thus for Type I, we have on the positive side the B complex vitamins, especially vitamin B-3, and vitamin C. The negative factors are diets which are too rich in free sugars and not rich enough in the complex carbohydrates. Negative factors also include milk, fluoride, coffee and vaccinations.
When it is started at an early age, niacinamide will prevent diabetes from developing in many children born to families prone to the disease. I have also found niacin very helpful in preventing patients from suffering the long term ravages of diabetes, which are not directly due to high blood sugars, but to the side effects involving the vascular system. Niacin lowers total cholesterol, elevates HDL, and prevents the development of arteriosclerosis. Therefore these patients are less apt to become blind and lose their legs. With medical supervision, it may be used safely in dealing with diabetics, but you will need to find a doctor who knows niacin. Dr. Saul provides supporting references to the literature, which physicians will benefit from seeing. I was especially pleased to see that he cited my friend Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin's seven papers on the subject.
Type II Non-insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) was formerly known as hyperinsulinism or hypoglycemia. The term "hypoglycemia" turned the establishment red with fury. But over time, many books and papers have been published dealing with this very common condition. Positive factors listed are magnesium, exercise, weight control, chromium, fiber, vitamin E, vanadium, vitamin C, and complex carbohydrates. Negative factors are iatrogenic, such as drugs that may actually cause this type of diabetes. I have been using the positive factors for the past 40 years. When patients followed such a program, the results are very good.
This webpage provides complementary physicians who are interested in treating diabetes with information about nutrients that will make their treatment even better. I am convinced that if this information were to be used preventively, it would protect many persons from developing this disease. - A. Hoffer)"


The credit crunch is hitting just about every business!
The credit crunch is hitting just about every business, small or large, however, it is the smaller companies that are usually at most risk.
It is common practice for businesses to re-evaluate their expenses when times are tough, and this often includes marketing budgets. Indeed, recently many people have reported decreases in offline (print) marketing budgets, due, mainly to the credit crunch and financial turmoil that both the US and UK are experiencing.
It is interesting to note however that conversely, Online advertising spend is on the increase.
Why is this? What is the difference between online and offline expenditure, and why should one be on the decline due to a credit crunch, while the other is increasing?
The most rational and likely explanation for this is the huge difference between instant Return On Investment. Whilst print advertising can be a great way of developing brand name and awareness, the financial returns for every £ or $ spent are known slow to arrive. This means that, during times of prosperity funds are freely available for Print based advertising.
Online advertising tends to see a much quicker and higher ROI, with either instant or swift results.
Advertising Budget, or Cost of Sale?
Some companies have even been quoted as saying that, although they are reviewing their Offline advertising, with a view to cutting costs, they now consider Online promotion to be more of a 'cost of sale' than an actual advertising cost.
In a survey by iProspect, 68% of internet searches don't look further than the first page of Google for products or services they are looking for. This means that if you don't appear on the first page, you are missing out on a seriously high percentage of your would be revenue.
This means that funds spent increasing a websites online search rankings are more or less guaranteed to increase the levels of sales that the website realises. This does imply that Online web promotion should be seen as more of a Cost of Sale than a straight advertising cost.
During financial hardships, it makes sense for businesses to cut advertising costs, so long as they can still achieve a level of income to keep them afloat. Thus, cutting funds from Offline advertising, which may well be seen as a brand awareness raiser that can presently be ill afforded, and allocating those funds to Online web promotion, which tends to give a much quicker return, is, perhaps good business sense.
One person we spoke to stated that they feel someone that is actually searching for a product on the internet is much more likely to convert to a sale, than someone that merely sees a company's advert in a related magazine.
To a large extent, this depends on what you are trying to marker online, and how long term your goals are.
The most popular pay per click advertising network in the world is Google Adwords. The effectiveness of this online advertising medium is definitely a proven fact. However, if you do not take care, you can easily waste thousands of pounds running an ill planned campaign, and be left wondering where it all went wrong!
Pay Per Click advertising is often said to be best served to websites that sell 'impluse buy' type products. PPC tends to give a very quick Return, but in the long term is more costly and gives less of an ROI than a traditionally, organic SEO campaign.
Most marketing professionals have at least heard of the term 'advert blindness'. This phrase has been traditionally used to describe the mental process of the 'filtering out' of adverts by magazine readers. It is more and more frequently used in the Online advertising world in regards to banner adverts.
Basically, most people ignore banner adverts these days without even thinking about it. This means even if you get a good deal on your banner advert campaign, the results can be poor.
Search Engine Optimisation (A.K.A. SEO) is a huge area, viewed by many traditional businesses as murky waters. Many are confused by the terms used by SEO professionals, and unsure whether funds set aside for this will be recouped.
If the right Ethical SEO specialist is chosen, however, the results can be astounding, and the Return On Investment excellent. It is important to stress the word Ethical here, as some SEO consultants are far from ethical. Go with a company that is willing to take the time to understand your needs as a company (or individual) and won't simply apply a 'one size fits all' type of affair to your SEO.
The returns for an SEO campaign are usually realised after 2 to 3 months, at which point your website should be experiencing not just an increased number of visits, but an increased number of 'targeted' visits. It is this targeting that is important. There is little to no point having your website ranked for terms that are not related to your website, or do not have a medium to high number of searches per month.
Used correctly, search engine optimisation techniques will give you a good ROI compared to PPC advertising, as your website will be placed in front of the eyes of those actually searching for your products or services.

Earlier today, I looked at how airlines fared in this month's Air Travel Consumer Report, published by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This afternoon, I'd like to take a look at how U.S. airports performed over the last 12 months, according to departure and on-time arrival stats.
Looking at the hourly fluctuations in on-time departure and arrival percentages at major airports around the country suggests that flight scheduled departure and arrival times may be a good predictor of delays.
For example, departures from Newark between 6 and 6:59 a.m. had an on-time rate of 93 percent, while departures between 10 and 10:59 p.m. had only a 64 percent chance of leaving on time. At Chicago O'Hare, the best time to depart was late at night.
On the arrival end, at San Francisco International, 95 percent were on time between 7 and 7:59 a.m., but only 48 percent of arrivals were on time between 10 and 10:59 a.m. At Atlanta Hartsfield, arriving between 11 and 11:59 a.m. offered a nearly 90 percent chance of an on-time arrival, but waiting until 7 to 7:59 p.m. dropped that chance to 62 percent. Check out the full chart, with dozens of other airports, on pages 10 through 13 of the report.
Among the airports covered, Denver and Portland, Oregon, had the best overall on-time arrivals, and San Francisco had the worst. Portland also had the highest percentage of on-time departures, while Miami had the lowest.
Have you had a great on-time experience lately, or arrived late on a particular route? Tell us about it!

Will Your Baby's Initials Affect His Mortality?
When you first saw this topic, you might have been as confused as I was when I heard about it. How could a baby's initials have anything to do with mortality? As I looked into it a bit more, I realized that there actually could be a correlation between how long a person lives and what his name's initials spell. Are you still skeptical? Here are some examples.
A study has been done on the death certificates of California individuals ranging from 1969 through 1995. They made a distinction between people with "positive" initials, such as A.C.E. or V.I.P. and those with "negative" initials like P.I.G. or D.I.E. In men, the ones with positive initials tended to live nearly four and a half years longer, while the ones with negative initials died nearly three years earlier than the control group. Not only that, but the negative ones had a higher association with death from psychological issues, such as suicide or accidents.
Without digging into the science of it too heavily, what this study means is that regardless of factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic status, people with positive initials end up living longer than those with negative initials. The effect is similar in women, though not quite as pronounced. The reason this phenomenon happens is because of how psychology forms a child's attitudes early on. Kids with negative initials could come to develop a complex about themselves. Apparently, symbolic aspects of a person's environment have a greater impact than we like to think.
If you're like most people, you probably didn't spend that much time worrying about your baby's initials. Obviously, most of us never realized it could have such a long-term effect on our children. The next time you think about having a baby, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try naming him with initials that are positive in nature. In this day and age, it's nice to put as many advantages as possible on your child's side, and maybe positive initials are all the boost he needs to live a long and happy life.

Okanda Malai, a remote rock-hill on the coast at the intersection of the Eastern and Southern Provinces, has been referred by tradition as one of the places where Emperor Ravana halted for worship on his journeys from Lankapuri to Koneswaram.
The theme of taking rest is reflected in the name Ukantai, for it is said that here Lord Murukan and others 'sat down' (utkantār) and rested.
At the foothill of Okanda Malai is the Vêlāyuta Cuvāmi or Kanta Cuvāmi Temple, dedicated to God Skanda. Here the Murukan temple is at the foot of the hill, while his sweetheart Valli occupies the peak.
Okanda Hill top has by long tradition been cited as one of the places where a divine katir (ray) from Lord Skanda struck. Veddas preserved the sanctity of the place with a simple shrine of stick and ola leaves.
According to another tradition, the third ray from Vākura Hill reached here and came to rest on this hilltop, making it a favorite site for Murukan worship.
There is yet a third myth according to which, Valli and Murukan arrived in separate stone boats (which still rest on the beach) to reside on top of the Ukantai Malai.
The temple is located along the eastern shores of the country, along which the pilgrims walk to Katirkāmam. In places like Pānama and Kumana, which are close to Ukantai, Tamils and Sinhalese lived in harmony even down to the present.


Palm Beach, FL – (January 29, 2019) – Despite the evolving regulatory landscape involving CBD products, today the products derived from hemp have a clearer, much less restricted path into consumer's hands. Some federal regulations that presently restrict uses of CBD ingredients, are defined differently depending on whether the CBD comes from hemp plants, or from marijuana plants. Marijuana sourced products have more barriers. An article from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (U.S. National Library of Medicine) confirms this: "Despite the confusion and the stance of the FDA and DEA, hemp-derived CBD products can currently be purchased as labeled dietary supplements, both online and OTC, throughout most of the country. In contrast, cannabis-derived CBD products can only be purchased by qualifying patients…" And a report in the Harvard Health Publishing of Harvard Medical School sees this roadblock possibly vanishing in the future: "All 50 states have laws legalizing CBD with varying degrees of restriction, and while the federal government still considers CBD in the same class as marijuana, it doesn't habitually enforce against it… Currently, many people obtain CBD online without a medical cannabis license. The (U.S.) government's position on CBD is confusing and depends in part on whether the CBD comes from hemp or marijuana." Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include: Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC:MCOA), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CRON) (TSX:CRON), Freedom Leaf, Inc. (OTC:FRLF), Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. (OTC: KGKG), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSX-V: FIRE) (OTC: SPRWF).

In this paper we describe several wearable sensors, designed for monitoring the health condition of the patients, based on an experimental model. Wearable sensors enable long-term continuous physiological monitoring, which is important for the treatment and management of many chronic illnesses, neurological disorders, and mental health issues. The system is based on a wearable sensors network, which is connected to a computer or smartphone. The wearable sensor network integrates several wearable sensors that can measure different parameters such as body temperature, heart rate and carbon monoxide quantity from the air. After the portable sensors measuring parameter values, they are transmitted by microprocessor through the Bluetooth to the application developed on computer or smartphone, to be interpreted.

The law of unintended consequences often seems to permanently live in the endless masses of pensions small print.
Thus, there was a chance that Social Protection Minister Regina Doherty's efforts to untangle the pensions travesty would either dislodge other difficulties, or not quite hit the target.
Fianna Fáil welfare spokesman Willie O'Dea, who has harried the Government for pension remedies over the past six months, has conceded that Ms Doherty's changes "were a step in the right direction." But there are too many unresolved snags - and it may well not be a good deal for men.
Mr O'Dea correctly notes that it was a more black and white issue for women following the changes brought in back in 2012.
It was easy to understand the double-penalty imposed on women, unable to continue in work due to the notorious marriage bar up to 1973. Or later, in practice, also being obliged to quit work for family reasons due to non-existent child care.
Insult was added to injury when their pension was cut due to the 'lost years' dragging down the required average of contributions. The would-be remedies outlined this week by Ms Doherty may well have been driven by the strident women's organisations' campaigns. That is realpolitik and more luck to the women.
But more than one in three of those affected are men unable for less obvious reasons to meet the average contribution requirements.
They could have been in non-insured employment or working overseas, or absent for other reasons.
The men will not have a home-caring scheme to help them account for those missing years. They may not meet the criteria under the new scheme which counts total contribution levels.
Mr O'Dea fears that many men may not - and it is not clear what happens then.
It is not the only potential snag identified by politicians and advocacy groups. Perhaps these are mere details which require better explanation. But they also may not be any such thing.

Valve Control Management, or VCM®, is an electro-hydraulic, cam-supported variable valve train system for four-stroke engines. VCM responds adaptively to change the valve timing so that an engine always receives an ideal amount of air at any load, speed or both.
Conventional mechanical valve train systems are designed for a particular engine load and so never fully leverage the engine's full potential. VCM, on the other hand, helps an engine to manage air more adaptively so that an engine can perform as effectively as possible at different speeds, loads and environments.
VCM can take a turbocharged engine from idling to full load in half the usual time – in some cases even more quickly. VCM increases engine efficiency, particularly with gas engines on baseload applications. VCM offers new options for higher-performance engines that need either a wide range of operation or a fast load response, such as on tugboats, off-highway trucks, gas compressors and emergency power generators.

Saudi Arabia, the second largest oil producer and the largest exporter in the world. The closest many people get to Saudi Arabia is via Walt Disney's classic, Aladdin. But there's more to this country than hot Arabian nights and giant genies. Most people travel to Saudi Arabia for a visit to Mecca, the birthplace of the prophet Muhammed and Islam's holiest city. In fact, all devout Muslims are supposed to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their life. While Mecca is highly off limits to non-Muslims, the capital city of Riyadh has much to offer tourists.
The best time to plan Saudi Arabia flights is between October and May, when hot days and cool nights are the norm. Forget the magic carpet; hop a flight to Saudi Arabia and tour a land filled with history and lined with a bit of luxury. You can easily book a flight with Travelation.com.

OVER 50 PHOTOGRAPHERS PARTICIPATE IN AMBER FORT HERITAGE PHOTO WALK
HomePress ReleaseOVER 50 PHOTOGRAPHERS PARTICIPATE IN AMBER FORT HERITAGE PHOTO WALK
Over 50 photography enthusiasts participated in Amber Fort Heritage Photo Walk. This was in continuation with the Jaipur Heritage Photo Walks being organized by the Department of Archaeology & Museums (Government of Rajasthan) in association with Jaipur Photographers' Club (JPC) & Jaipur Mera Shehar (JMS).
The photographers captured the images of the Amber Fort, a World Heritage site today. The photographers not only captured the beauty of Amber but also how the tourists view the monuments. The range of participants was 10 years to 60 years.
The Director of Archaeology & Museums, Government of Rajasthan, Mr Hridesh Kumar Sharma said that the aim of this initiative is to give a common platform to the city's photographers to capture the exquisiteness of heritage sites.
The series of photo walks would be held at different archaeological sites in Jaipur for next few months which will culminate with a photo exhibition displaying some of the brilliant photographs captured during these photo walks, added Mr Sharma.
It is to be recalled that a similar Heritage Photo Walk had been organized last month at Jantar Mantar.


Many examples of the connection between the crucial role played by communist cells in the organized resistance and their origin in Social Democracy.
The juxtaposition of the ambivalent posture of the Catholic bishops toward the Nazi regime visa vie the resoluteness of rank and file priests, monks, nuns, and lay Catholics.
The defence of the free choice taken by many Communist men and women to return from the security of exile to their annexed Austria in order to rebuilt the broken links of underground organizations that had been decimated by the Gestapo. In their home territory this was seen by the Communist Party leadership as suicidal politics. He gives as best examples the Viennese architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and the Graz architect Herbert Eichholzer.
The previously down-played or completely ignored role of the Allied secret service activity in annexed Austria carried out mostly by Austrians in the Allied armed forces by the inclusion of the Austrian resistance within the military's anti-Hitler efforts to defeat the Wehrmacht. In connection with that, Neugebauer's recognition of the military significance of the Slovenian resistance in Carinthia should be emphasized, which in the past had been dismissed as assistance for the post-war demands of Yugoslavia.
Finally, the appreciation of activities previously ignored or not considered at all: Neugebauer gives examples of resistance to Nazi euthanasia, demonstrates the significance of individual resistance, for example, the loss of self-defence and of desertion; and he deals with the Jewish resistance in which he emphasizes the selfless effect of the Zionist Youth official Aron Menczer both in Vienna, where he saved hundreds of children with passage to Palestine and in the Theresienstadt Ghetto, where he cared for 1,260 neglected and orphaned Polish children who were otherwise destined for Auschwitz and certain death.
As important as Neugebauer's standard work is and will remain for the time being, for inner-Austrian discussion, his greatest effect will no doubt be in the 2014 English translation, which was made possible by the Republic of Austria Future Fund, and thanks to enthusiastic reviews in American journals in the last year and a half will even bring this topic to the attention of those having a general interest in Austria 1938-1945, even if they do not study the work itself. Also, Günter Bischof's Introduction to the translation of Felix Mitterer's Jägerstätter play, which will be dealt with later, references Neugebauer's book.
Beside Germany and France, the United States is the country where research and publicity are highly focused on Austrian history and politics, in part as a result of the large number of Austrian refugees who found a new homeland in the United States following 1938, and also because of high interest in German Studies at American universities, focusing on Austrian literature and history of the 19th and 20th centuries, as the programs of the annual meeting of the German Studies Association (GSA) impressively attest. Another result was the coming together of the American Friends of the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance with the GSA. Thus it is important to know which image of Austrian society during Nazi times dominates historical research in the US. This image of the past 3 decades has been dominated by the "Austrian component" of Nazi crimes. There were several reasons for this. Firstly, as a result of the response to the Waldheim debate, which brought to light the whitewashing of history for foreign consumption, and attempted to completely ignore the Nazi period. Where it could not be avoided, the coercive aspect of the so-called "Anschluss" 1938 whereby a major number of Austrian "compatriots" participated in the humiliation, abuse, and theft of thousands of Viennese Jewish men and women, was simply repressed and hidden. Very quickly during the Waldheim debate, many in America switched their perception of Austria from that of Victim to that of Perpetrator.
Secondly, these prejudices were confirmed in the manner by which Austrian governments promptly rejected claims of Nazi victims prior to the conclusion of the agreement between the federal government of Austria and the government of the United States regarding the questions of compensation and restitution for the victims of National Socialism (the Washington Agreement of 24 October 2000). Even in the implementation of the agreement, leading officials still attempted to skirt the spirit of the agreement, which was once again conveyed to a broad audience in the sumptuous 2015 film "Woman in Gold" by the British director Simon Curtis about the fight over the return of Klimt's "Goldener Adele" to the heirs of Adele Bloch-Bauer.
"The Resistance in Austria" was problematic not because of the book per se, but rather that it had no "successor". Not only resistance research continued to progress (even though academic research focused on it to only a small degree, particularly in the 1990s and 2000s). At the latest, Evan Burr Bukey's study from the year 2000, "Hitler's Austria:Popular Sentiment in the Nazi Era, 1938-1945 (2001 German translation entitled "Hitlers Österreich. Eine Bewegung und ein Volk) presented for the first time with broad ranging data, the mood among the Austrian population, which thereby influenced in large measure the emergence and likelihood of success. Meanwhile several studies analyzed an additional factor, without which a presentation of the resistance would not be possible: the Nazi repression apparatus. That added to the growing interest in the attitude of individuals toward resistance.
Insofar as Wolfgang Neugebauer included all these points of view in his presentation, he succeeds in historically broad contextualization. The English translation affords access for American readers and thus makes it possible to include the resistance in the history of Austria's Nazi past.

Review: Withnail and I (1987)
Withnail & I (1987)
Dir: Bruce Robinson
Starring: Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths, Ralph Brown
Bruce Robinson's directorial debut in 1987 came in the form of a blackly comedic British film called Withnail and I. Over 20 years later, the film has a huge cult status amongst fans, and Robinson arguably did his best work here. Inspired by Robinson's old friend, Vivian MacKerrell,the plot revolves around two out of work actors living in Camden Town at the end of the booziest decade of the century: the sixties. It follows the unnamed "I" as an anxiety-ridden young man dealing with the follies of his eccentric friend Withnail, who is a fall-down drunk from an aristocratic family. When the two decide to take a weekend trip to the countryside, all hell breaks loose, exacerbated by Withnail's archly homosexual Uncle Monty in hot pursuit of our narrator. The film is undoubtedly marked by the triumphant performance of Richard E. Grant as Withnail, who managed to portray a staggering, elegantly wasted man at the end of his tether albeit being teetotal himself. He is undeniably supported by the fantastic cast, be it Ralph Brown as the adept drug dealer Danny or Richard Griffiths as the Baudelaire-quoting Uncle Monty. However, Grant truly carries the film in his heartbreaking tragicomic role; his petulant flair for dramatics incites laughter, but in it lie the makings of a talented actor destroyed by his addiction.
The only man who outshines Withnail himself is our writer and director, Bruce Robinson, who, in penning this semi autobiographical tale, created an utter master-class of a screenplay. The dialogue is sharp, witty, and iconic, full of dry humor and quotable one-liners. Not a moment drags or droops, and the characters are engaging and charming in a way that characters so rarely are; a way that encourages the audience (or at least myself) to revisit them consistently. The brilliance lies not only in the near-perfect writing and hilarity of the antics, but also in its multilayering of subject matter. Although at first glance, Withnail may seem confined to a very small slice of life in Britain in 1969, it speaks on many levels. It is a film about male relationships - there is a notable lack of female cast. It is a film about the struggle to articulate our talents and ambitions amidst the squalor of poverty or the windfalls of addiction. It is, undoubtedly, a film very much about both the sixties and about the time in which it was created; Robinson has admitted that "I" cutting his hair at the film's conclusion was a symbol of oncoming Thatcherism. Danny points out that at the end of the decade, they had "failed to paint it black", and the question Robinson poses to us must be -- have we ever succeeded at doing so?
"I" escapes the bohemian squalor of their lives to succeed, whereas Withnail remains; his only friend a bottle of '53 Margaux. The film paints a bleak portrait of the bohemian life and its implications; perhaps that it is not maintainable, or perhaps simply that the descent into alcoholism is an ugly and formidable thing. Regardless, the deeply character-driven tale of Withnail & I is not so much cautionary as it is personal. In what is perhaps one of the most compelling and poignant last scenes ever filmed, Withnail stands in the rain, before the wolves at Regents Park zoo, howling a soliloquy from Hamlet. It will be his most impressive performance, but the wolves are unimpressed, and Withnail, his talent forever curtailed, turns away in defeat. His frame grows smaller as it moves away and we are swallowing the collective lumps in our throats as the credits roll.

Your chance to stay in a real haunted castle on Halloween!
After one thousand, one hundred years of making history, the immense strength and proportions of Warwick Castle make it a formidable sight for any visitor.
William the Conqueror built the first castle at Warwick, in 1068. Over the years the castle was gradually rebuilt in stone, and by the late 14th century Thomas de Beauchamp had finished an extensive building programme that transformed the defences of the castle, adding the huge gatehouse and barbican and two massive towers that still dominate the castle today.
The Wars of the Roses which began in the 1450's had a lot to do with Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle under Richard Neville, supported the Yorkists and when the Yorkists won in 1461, Henry VI conferred the title of Earl of Warwick on Richard Neville in recognition of his services to the King.
The castle's interiors were completely transformed in Jacobean times when Sir Fulke Greville, a poet and statesman, made Warwick Castle into a luxurious palace. Several subsequent remodellings and restorations have resulted in a display of quality and splendour that could match any stately home.
The ghost of Sir Fulke Greville still haunts the tower where he resided at Warwick Castle and to this day the tower is locally known as "The Ghost Tower". According to legend, his ghost appears from the portrait hanging over the fire place in the study and walks about the rooms in the tower.
Other ghosts include an old servant who cursed the castle after being sacked. She appears as a large black dog that roams the castle battlements. Over the years many people have witnessed ghostly activity, mysterious footsteps have been heard pacing the corridors of the castle and during World War I, the footsteps were witnessed literally walking through an American gentleman.
It's probably no surprise to hear that the great mount of Warwick Castle is reportedly on a ley line that stretches from Herefordshire to Clopton Hill. Along the line is a series of hauntings but the concentration seems to be focused at Warwick Castle.

Eagles Remember 9/11
Virtual events align and encourage Embry-Riddle community
By Tristyn Bemis ('20)
From the Fall/Winter 2020 Issue
Almost two decades ago, the world was shaken by a series of violent attacks that struck the U.S. on an ordinary Tuesday morning in September. The 9/11 attacks represented a collective loss of innocence for Americans and ushered in historic changes with regard to domestic security.
Perhaps no industry experienced the latter more acutely than the aviation industry.
"So many career fields, the industries, the changes in the airlines, the way we work, the way we travel, the degree offerings here at Embry-Riddle are much different than they were before 9/11," says Bill Thompson ('87), executive director of alumni engagement at Embry-Riddle.
As a university firmly rooted in the aviation industry, the Embry-Riddle community was uniquely impacted by the events of 9/11.
In light of this fact, the Office of Alumni Engagement partnered with Daytona Beach Campus Chaplain Rev. David Keck to host a virtual remembrance, or Eagles E-Gathering, this year, to allow alumni to connect, discuss the industry impact and share their memories of 9/11. Using the Zoom platform, alumni met face-to-face online, despite being in different locations across the globe.
At the event, Andy Nureddin ('85, '93) recalled scrambling to get the student pilots at his Montreal-based training center sheltered or transported home, after hearing of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City. He later learned that his close friend and fellow alumnus, David Charlebois ('83), was a pilot onboard one of the hijacked aircraft.
"[9/11] left an indelible mark on me, on my career and on my perspective on aviation in general," Nureddin says.
Other alumni attending the event also shared their experiences and how 9/11 impacted their careers. The Eagles E-Gathering was more than just a chance to grieve and heal, it was the first step in a research project meant to culminate in a weeklong symposium in 2021 — marking the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Thompson, Keck and graduate students Maria Schmiedhofer ('20) and Victoria Gustafsson ('20) are working to collect the memories and perspectives of Embry-Riddle faculty, students, alumni and industry professionals for this symposium.
The 9/11 Eagles E-Gathering was one of more than 150 virtual events hosted by the Office of Alumni Engagement, since the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S. in March 2020. For information about upcoming virtual events go to: alumni.erau.edu/events.

Hogwarts Mystery Howlers
Harry Potter and his friends Harry Potter and his friends attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry throughout the course of. The Wizarding World universe features the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry as its primary setting. It is a fictional British school for children aged 11-18.
The Hufflepuffs may not be the most well-known of all the houses, yet they have left a lasting impression on Harry Potter's world. This House is well-known for its kindness, loyalty and willingness to assist. They are also dedicated and hardworking. It's no wonder that they are described as being the house of the top witches and wizards.
One of the most significant characters from the Harry Potter franchise is Newt Scamander Hufflepuff. He was a remarkable magizoologist and was loved by all who saw him. He never got angry when he was detained and handed the death penalty. He was calm and focused as he fought his way through the incident.
During the first year at Hogwarts students are assigned an appropriate house according to their personality traits. The Sorting Hat does the heavy lifting and puts students in the right House to test their personality. It's a great way test out your strengths and weaknesses.
The Sorting Hat is creative and magical. It was created by J.K. Rowling, and is a reference to the magician's hat, which was owned by Godric Gryffindor. It is also used to determine the students who will be placed in the Hogwarts Hostel by the Founders of Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat can also be used to determine what home a student should reside in. It is able to read the wearer's mind and react to their thoughts. It can even talk to them. It can also be used to determine the House a student belongs to, and to present the Sword of Gryffindor to those who are worthy of it.
During Harry's time at Hogwarts The Room of Requirement played a crucial role in the story. Apart from providing Harry with his first (and last) horocracy It was also the place the location where Voldemort's lost diadem was hidden. In actuality the Room of Requirement was so mysterious that it took the most enigmatic part of a year for Dumbledore to reveal its dark past.
The room also houses a variety of odd artifacts, including the Sorting Hat, which is an ancient artifact. It also contains the legilimen, which utilizes legitmization to read minds. While this is a trickier task than the majority of wizards would like you to believe it is being done by a small group of.
The organization was founded by Salazar Slytherin, Slytherin was known for its self-sufficiency and ambition. Slytherin also gained a bad reputation for being self-centred and a vicious. Slytherin actually made the most Death Eaters.
The common room of Slytherin was situated below the Black Lake. It had rough stone walls and silver lamps hanging from its ceiling. It is famous for its stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
Slytherin was an opulent House, and Gryffindor was known for its rivalry with Slytherin. Hufflepuff was the least noble of the four houses, was known for its values of loyalty, patience and hard work.
Hogwarts is the place where all students reside during the academic year. Students reside in dormitories and sleep in large four-poster beds. Students are taught by professors. There are tables in the House, where students can meet and socialize. Notice boards are placed in strategic locations around the school.
Whether you're a Harry Potter fan or simply interested in the world of magic that Harry Potter is a part of, the Library at Hogwarts has a lot to offer. It houses thousands of books. However it also has a section only accessible to students who have given written permission. This section is located on the lower floor.
The library is divided into five stories of bookshelves. The main room is the first story. It is lit by natural light via stained and leaded glass windows. The ceiling is a whopping 65 feet high.
The second story is the home of the headmaster's office. It also houses the Charms classroom. The third story has the Reading Room. This is the only room in the library that is silent. It is the home of rows of study tables, covered with red-carpeted walls. Under the study tables are outlets.
The Deathly Hallows, despite its reputation as a novel of fantasy, is an actual story of three former Hogwarts students who are hiding from Voldemort at Godric's Hollow. The plot involves the final battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort.
The book is the seventh in the Harry Potter series and the final chapter in the story of the boy wizard. It was published on July 21 in 2007 by the Bloombury Publishing Company and translated into 120 languages. It is the most viewed ever fantasy series with over 500 million copies sold worldwide.
Five short stories are also included in the book. Many of these stories are based on the Deathly Hallows story.
It is located in the Scottish Highlands, Hogwarts is a magical school for children wizards. It was established in the 10th century to protect wizards from Muggle persecution. Hogwarts is considered to be one of the oldest and poshest private boarding schools in the United Kingdom. The school is located in the Forbidden Forest and is sometimes referred to as the Dark Forest.
Hogwarts is full of secrets. Some of these are kept from view by the outside such as the Chamber of Secrets. Some are well-known and widely used like the Leaky Cauldron restaurant and Gringotts Money Exchange.
The Chamber of Secrets was constructed by Salazar Slytherin, who was a student at Hogwarts. It was designed to rid Hogwarts of students born to the Muggle race. Voldemort believed he had won the final battle and planned to force all of Hogwarts' students into Slytherin. He passed away before he was able to complete his plan.
The Chamber of Secrets lies deep beneath Hogwarts school. It is the home of the ancient Basilisk. The Chamber is left open after Dumbledore's army is betrayed. It is home to floor cushions for defensive spells as well as Dark Detectors. The Chamber is also the home of an embodied memory of Tom Riddle, who was killed by Harry Potter.
The Chamber of Secrets is also the home of two serpents built into the wall of the Room. They have eyes of emerald color. They are believed to have been summoned by Tom Riddle. They also have the ability to grow the Devil's Snare which is a large snake that can attack anyone who enters this Chamber. The Chamber also houses an arachnid-scratching faucet. It also houses the huge black boarhound Fang. Fang is more friendly than Mrs. Norris.
The dungeon is home to the Slytherin dormitory. The room is lush with carvings on the armchairs. It also houses a statue of Salazar Slytherin. The room is lit by green lamps and a greenish glow.
The Hufflepuff dormitory has low ceilings and is a cozy bright and sunny place. It has plants hanging from its ceiling. It also has a huge communal room. The badger is the house animal. The badger is believed to symbolize family gathering. The House also has a ghost named Nearly Headless Nick.
There are a few short-cuts to get from the castle to the school. These aren't always easy however. They are usually hidden behind tapestry or an entry that is hidden. Some of these short-cuts are only available to members of the House. The secret entrance to Hufflepuff is behind barrels. It is also under spell, so tap the barrel with a rhythm to let the slimy chute.
The Dark Room is the place where Dumbledore's army meets. It is where many of the battles are fought during the Harry Potter series. It is also where Dumbledore makes his argument for Harry's defense. It contains floor cushions for defensive spells and also volumes of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
There are also secret entrances to four House dormitories. These secret entrances are also secret from the outside world and require the use of a password. These are the entrances used by the members of that House.

Biden�s Immigration �Leniency� May Help the U.S. Maintain Its Global Economic Status
As the Biden administration struggles to find a long-term solution to the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, it seems that the President�s clemency may actually be a good thing.
A study that was released on Wednesday suggests that admitting more immigrant workers may prevent the U.S. from losing its prestigious status as the biggest economy in the world in less than a decade. The study suggests that the lawmakers should stop looking at the border situation as a crisis, and instead see it as an opportunity for the U.S. to boost its economy and maintain its global supremacy.
The Ongoing Crisis
Since February this year, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seen a 71% increase in the number of people trying to get into the country. The Biden administration officials found that the numbers had increased from 100,441 to 172,000 in just a month. The number of unaccompanied children from Central America also doubled within this period, further strengthening the critics� sentiments that the President is failing to manage the crisis.
To make matters worse, Roberta S. Jacobson, the top White House official tasked with addressing the migrant crisis at the border is set to step down at the end of this month. Jacobson has been coordinating the government�s efforts to handle the migrant surge at the border. Although she said that she was only required to stay for 100 days, her departure has caught many by surprise - considering that President Biden is still in the middle of heavy criticism and his administration is yet to come up with a clear way forward.
A Rejected Approach
It�s no secret that the Democrats have been urging the President to make sure the undocumented children are treated humanely. Together with many immigrant rights advocates, they�ve been appearing more willing to give him some time to implement his own policies, saying that his approach is different from the former president�s, which �intentionally wanted to subject the migrants to hell,� as Julian Castro, former San Antonio Mayor, put it in a telephone interview last month.
As it seems, this approach has not been applauded by everyone.
President Biden�s Republican critics still maintain that he is losing his grip on the situation, and that his policies and rhetoric are only working to encourage foreigners to enter the country. A good number of GOP House members have been saying that the President has been slow in responding to a �humanitarian crisis.�
A Divergent Report
An immigration advocacy group known as FWD.us in partnership with George Mason University came up with a report that asserts that if the current U.S. immigration levels and population trends remain constant, the U.S. economy will be roughly three-quarters the size of China�s economy by 2050. Since he came into power, President Joe Biden has been pushing to make the country�s immigration laws more lenient and humane. He sent a proposal to Congress which, according to another study conducted by Boundless Immigration Inc., would increase the number of people being allowed to enter the U.S. and become permanent residents by nearly 350,000 each year.
Immigrants May Be Good for the Country After All
According to Just Gest, an associate professor at George Mason University and the study�s co-author, welcoming the newcomers is good for the country considering the numbers. The report projects that the U.S. population will become older in the years to come, as the number of older people is rising at a faster rate compared to the working age citizens. The expense of Medicare, Social Security and other entitlements for those older citizens may outpace the taxes the younger workers pay, the report claims.
The report also notes that although more immigrants alone may not be enough to guarantee the Social Security trust fund�s solvency, higher immigration levels are a great way to delay its exhaustion, expected to be in 2034, by one more year depending on the number of extra visas issued each year.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, immigrants actually contribute positively to the U.S. economy a lot. Besides making up more than a third of the employees in some industries, they work at a very high rate. The local economies enjoy their geographic mobility, as it helps them respond quicker and effectively to worker shortages, eliminating hiccups that could otherwise shake the economy.
If the immigration levels doubled, in 2050, about 31 senior citizens would live for every 100 people in the workforce, according to the aforementioned joint study. When that happens, the U.S. gross domestic product would reach $46.8 trillion compared to China�s $49.9 trillion in 2050. This means that the U.S. economy would still be dominant until we approach 2035.

Walk-On's Sponsors Jeffrey Marx's 'Walking with Tigers' Book Tour
April 10, 2015 · ·
Sports bar to underwrite book donations to local schools across Louisiana; social media voting to determine book's cover design
Baton Rouge, LA (Restaurant News Release) Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar is teaming up with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeffrey Marx to share his inspiring new collection of LSU sports stories with the people of Louisiana – in particular, school kids.
Walking with Tigers includes 22 feature stories exploring the lives of athletes, coaches and others behind the university's storied sports history. Covering a wide cross-section of sports – including football, basketball, baseball, softball and track and field – Marx takes his readers on a fascinating journey with numerous LSU sports figures. Among them are: Alex Bregman, Dale Brown, Kimberlyn Duncan, Leonard Fournette, Bert Jones, Brittany Mack, Mikie Mahtook, Jack Marucci, Raph Rhymes, Stanley Roberts and Jimmy Taylor.
"When I first heard about Walking with Tigers, I couldn't wait to read it," said Brandon Landry, co-founder and owner of Walk-On's Enterprises. "Then, when I met Jeffrey and we talked about reaching out to Louisiana schools and youth groups through his book tour, I really got excited. Not only does the book stir up my passion for LSU sports, but Jeffrey's willingness to donate books to schools across the state fits perfectly with Walk-On's focus on community support."
Marx, who at the age of 23 became the youngest-ever winner of the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, is a native New Yorker who now lives in Baton Rouge. For the past 20 years, he has conducted a books-to-schools program that he first developed with Olympic champion Carl Lewis (with whom he wrote two books). For Walking with Tigers, Marx and Walk-On's will donate thousands of books to schools and other youth groups across the state.
"I couldn't ask for a better sponsor, or better people, to partner with for this book tour than Walk-On's and Brandon and his team," said Marx. "Thanks to their support, we'll be able to reach thousands of young people with stories that are both entertaining and filled with some really important life messages."
Walking with Tigers will be published this September. Beginning April 10, Marx will conduct a public vote (via social media and voting cards at Walk-On's) to select the cover design for his book. Follow @LSUTigersBook on Twitter for more information and to vote on your favorite cover design.
Voting will end on April 18. The winning cover will be announced via Twitter (both @LSUTigersBook and @Walk_Ons).

Virat Kohli and Steve Smith motivate England skipper Joe Root
England skipper Joe Root is inspired by India Test captain Virat Kohli. He says captaincy will take his batting to the "next level", just as it has done for India's Virat Kohli and Australia's Steve Smith. Root was confirmed as England's new Test skipper, following Alastair Cook's resignation. It's a great motivator to make sure I do everything I can to get my batting in the best place possible and set the example for the rest of the guys in the team. Root said "You look at other guys who have taken similar roles like Virat and Steve Smith and they've gone on to bigger and better things and taken their game to the next level. I don't see why I can't look at it in the same light. "It's a great opportunity to take that added responsibility and really motivate me to get better. Every kid dreams of being England captain one day… I'm just really looking forward to getting my teeth into it and putting my mark on things.

The American Foreign Policy Council's World Almanac of Islamism is a comprehensive resource designed to track the rise or decline of radical Islam on a national, regional and global level. This database focuses on the nature of the contemporary Islamist threat around the world, and on the current activities of radical Islamist movements worldwide.
Islamist organizations have experienced significant systemic changes in both strategy and ideological thought over the past several years. In the Islamist heartland stretching from North Africa through the Middle East to South Asia, these shifts have been prompted to a significant degree by four main international events: the "Arab Spring," the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, the outbreak of the civil war in Syria, and the impending Coalition departure from Afghanistan.
The outbreak of the "Arab Spring" in Tunisia in December 2010 began a chain reaction that opened the door to the political ascendance of Islamist forces throughout the Middle East and North Africa when mass street protests threatened to unseat several entrenched dictatorships. Ironically, it was often secular youth movements – not Islamists– that were at the forefront of the Arab Spring protest movements. However, thanks to decades of severe political repression, Islamist movements often proved the only socio-political force with the organization, mass appeal, and entrenched patronage networks to capitalize during hasty transitions to democracy.
In some of these countries, most prominently in Egypt, these movements succeeded in overthrowing and/or transforming the nature of government, assuming leadership roles in new governing structures. In others, including Jordan and Morocco, Islamist forces gained in both prominence and political power, but continued to work within the parameters of the existing political system.
However, in Egypt and elsewhere, Islamist elements more recently have begun to experience a reversal of fortune. The July 2013 fall of the Muslim Brotherhood-dominated government of Mohammed Morsi resulted in a diminution of influence for its affiliates elsewhere in the region. This reversal has the potential to be both significant and lasting in nature, and may depress identification with Islamist organizations in the years ahead. The Brotherhood itself now finds itself at an inflection point, with much of its leadership imprisoned and organization neutered by the new military-led government. There is today a significant internal debate over whether to adopt a participatory role in Egyptian politics or to move wholesale into the opposition and pose a serious insurgent challenge to the state.
The withdrawal of the United States from Iraq in late 2012 has been followed by an uptick in violence and Islamist activity in the former Ba'athist state. The government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has attempted to combat the influence of both Shi'a militias and Sunni insurgents. However, the security situation in Iraq has steadily deteriorated, while the influence of al-Qaeda and the Islamic Republic of Iran have steadily risen, to the point that Western officials now assess instability in the country to be at the same level as in the mid-2000s. As important has been the perception in the region that the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq represents part of a larger American retraction from the region.
Significant, and at least somewhat related, is the current conflict in Syria. Since March of 2011, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has waged a violent, bloody civil war against his own people. Syria's opposition remains fragmented and incredibly diverse, but has steadily assumed an increasingly Islamist character with the intrusion of al-Qaeda and affiliated jihadists onto the Syrian battlefield. Significantly, the Syrian "front" appears to have become a focal point for global jihad, drawing militants from North Africa, Europe, and elsewhere into the fighting. These trends, and the overall reluctance of the West to assume an active role in the war, has helped to overshadow the conflict as a whole—depressing a deeper understanding of, and sympathy for—the country's various opposition political parties. Recent developments (chief among them a Russian proposal for the dismantlement of Syrian chemical weapons) appear to have ensured the survival of the Assad regime, at least for the near future. A perpetuation of the conflict, and the participation of Islamist forces in it, is therefore likely as well, with radical Islamist forces already carving out independent fiefdoms in ungoverned spaces and imposing sharia law.
The spillover effects of the war have had profound consequences for Syria's neighbors, most directly Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. All three countries have, in different ways, contributed to conflict: Sunni jihadists opposed to the Assad regime and linked to al-Qaeda have poured into Syria from Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq. So too have Shi'ite militias working to protect the Assad regime, as Iranian proxies in both Lebanon and Iraq have joined the fighting on behalf of the Syrian army.
Finally, U.S. plans to leave Afghanistan at the end of 2014 represent a major upcoming milestone—one that will have a profound impact on Islamist activities and regional security in South and Central Asia. Regional governments (including the "stans" of Central Asia) have made progress in their efforts to reduce the influence and appeal of Islamist organizations in recent years. However, they are united in the concern that a post-Coalition Afghanistan will revert to its traditional role as a safe haven for global jihadism—and that the Taliban, now returning to prominence there, will exert a destabilizing influence throughout the region following the departure of Western forces. These concerns are shared in Russia, as well as in India, which continues to confront significant Islamist-related violence (particularly in the disputed region of Kashmir).
In neighboring Pakistan, a violent campaign by the Pakistani Taliban and affiliated militants continues to take a heavy toll on the state and its people. Despite the prospect of peace talks with the government, the Pakistani Taliban have engaged in numerous targeted assassinations, suicide bombings, and attacks on government buildings in recent years. Meanwhile, the Pakistani state continues to differentiate between "bad" Islamist militants like the Pakistani Taliban and "good" Islamist militants like the Afghan Taliban, the Haqqani Network, Lashkar e Taiba, and various sectarian militias. The latter have accelerated a bloody campaign against Pakistan's Shi'ites, Ahmadis, and other sects considered by their fundamentalist creed to be heretical.
Outside of the core Islamist heartland, Islamist groups and ideologies have found less success. In Southeast Asia, where Muslim populations have traditionally favored more personal, mystical, and cultural variations of Islam, radical ideologies continue to face stiff resistance. That has not, however, prevented small but potent Islamist forces from waging terrorist or separatist campaigns in select countries. In many of them, such as Thailand and the Philippines, opposition forces with ethnic, political, or separatist grievances have increasingly assumed Islamist overtones or allied themselves with Islamist movements. China continues to face low-level violence from Uighur separatists operating in Xinjiang, but forces continue to make progress in select countries, as in Indonesia where they have carved out small outposts where sharia law rules the land.
In Europe, halting progress has been made by some countries (such as the UK) in formulating a countervailing strategy intended to identify and defuse Islamist identification. In the main, however, countries on the Continent remain challenged by large-scale migration from the Middle East and North Africa—and the subsequent radicalization of immigrant populations due to active proselytization by Islamist groups and endemic failures to adequately assimilate and integrate those arriving communities. This is particularly true in Russia, which now faces a growing and radicalizing Muslim underclass that increasingly identifies with Islamist sentiments rather than the Russian state.
In Africa, al Shabaab, the militant jihadi movement that nearly controlled all of Somalia in the late 2000s, has struggled to sustain public support and suffered from factional infighting, losing ground in and around the Somali capital of Mogadishu. However, it is still capable of launching terrorist attacks inside Somalia and in neighboring Ethiopia, where militants killed 67 in a terrorist massacre in a Nairobi mall in September. In Mali, militant Islamist forces seized control of nearly all of the country's north in 2012, prompting an international intervention by France in January 2013 that successfully reversed many of the militant's gains.
In South America, recent years have seen a strengthening of efforts by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its affiliated groups to establish a base of operations, often aided and abetted in this regard by sympathetic regional governments aligned with the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA). The 2013 death of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez has at least temporarily removed ideological leadership for this bloc and reduced its dynamism, but the regional presence and activities of Iran and its proxies—as well as groups such as al-Qaeda—remains an ongoing concern.

WA's 7th District Reps. Bridging Divide Between East & West
Chris Hansen Published: January 20, 2023
Now that the boundaries of Washington's 7th Legislative District have been expanded to make it the largest and most rural voting jurisdiction in the state, Reps. Joel Kretz and Jacqueline Maycumber have an even bigger job ahead of them in trying to convey the needs of Eastside residents to a largely-Westside set of lawmakers.
"There's a lot of Seattle legislators who've never even been to Eastern Washington, much less understand our issues over here," says Kretz. "So a big part of our job is explaining the differences between east and west. And I've been really fortunate to make and maintain some really good relationships across the aisle with Westside representatives who are also Democrats."
The Republican Kretz says throughout his 18 years in the legislature he has consistently invited Westside lawmakers to his ranch in Wauconda to get a first-hand look at rural Eastern Washington and to discuss the variety of issues and challenges which set it apart from the rest of the state.
Fellow Republican Maycumber says communicating with legislators west of the Cascades is only part of the solution, and sometimes drawing a hard line with those who are unfamiliar with the state's east side is necessary.
"It's difficult to have people from the Puget Sound legislate places that they've never been or never spoken to anyone from that area. So it's having good communication and hearing what they need but also making sure they know that we're not their park or playground."
Maycumber, who is from the small town of Republic in Ferry County, is entering her second term representing the 7th District, while Kretz has two years remaining in his fourth.

SOCHI (Russia) • Formula One is set to abandon plans for a 'halo' head protection system in favour of a transparent screen that could be introduced next season.
The governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) announced the development following a meeting of the sport's core strategy group in Paris on Tuesday ahead of this weekend's Russian Grand Prix.
"A number of more integrated solutions for additional frontal protection have been studied, and the decision has been taken to give priority to the transparent 'shield' family of systems," it said in a statement. "The FIA aims to carry out track tests of this system during this season in preparation for implementation in 2018."
The 'halo' cockpit protection device, fixed at three points in front of the driver that supports a protective loop above his head, was extensively tested last season to mixed responses.
The FIA said in January the net safety benefit had been established but a decision needed to be made about the aesthetics and whether such a system was right for Formula One.
Cockpit protection has become a priority since the deaths of drivers in other series after being hit by wheels and flying debris. The shield, a see-through screen in front of the driver that does not cover the cockpit, was tested at this year's Chinese Grand Prix practice sessions.
Decisions made by the strategy group have to be approved by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council - which is usually a formality.
Tuesday's meeting also formalised changes to next year's regulations that will remove the 'T-wing' and 'Shark Fin' aerodynamic devices that have been criticised on aesthetics grounds. Measures will also be taken to ensure oil will not be used as fuel.
The strategy group, which is limited to top teams, will also be opened to non-members.
The governing body said this would demonstrate "the effective commitment of both the FIA and the Commercial Rights Holder to improve transparency in the sport".

Luxury Auto depreciation Limits
February 15, 2017 – 02:25 pm
IRS Issues 2013 Vehicle Depreciation Dollar Limits
The IRS has released the inflation-adjusted limitations on depreciation deductions for business-use passenger automobiles, light trucks, and vans first placed in service during calendar year 2013. Some of the depreciation limits are identical to the limits for 2012; other ceilings have increased by $100.
Code Sec. 280F(a) imposes dollar limitations on the depreciation deduction for the year the taxpayer places the vehicle in service in its business, and for each succeeding year. Under Code Sec. 280F(d)(7), the IRS adjusts for inflation the amounts allowable for depreciation deductions.
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) generally extended 50-percent first-year bonus depreciation under Code Sec. 168(k) to qualified property acquired and placed in service by December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2014 for certain longer-lived and transportation property). For vehicles subject to the Code Sec. 280F luxury vehicle limits, first-year bonus depreciation is increased by $8, 000 (not indexed for inflation), unless the taxpayer elects out.
In Rev. Proc. 2013-21, the IRS provided depreciation limits for passenger automobiles, light trucks and vans, both for those qualifying for bonus depreciation and for those not qualifying for or electing bonus depreciation.
Passenger automobiles
The maximum depreciation limits under Code Sec. 280F for passenger automobiles first placed in service during the 2013 calendar year are:
$11, 160 for the first tax year ($3, 160 if bonus depreciation does not apply);
$5, 100 for the second tax year;
$3, 050 for the third tax year; and
$1, 875 for each succeeding tax year.
The maximum depreciation limits under Code Sec. 280F for trucks and vans first placed in service during the 2013 calendar year are:
Comment: Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and pickup trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) in excess of 6, 000 pounds continue to be exempt from the luxury vehicle depreciation caps based on a loophole in the operative definition. Congress in 2004 placed a $25, 000 limit on Code Sec. 179 expensing of heavy SUVs but has not extended it to Code Sec. 280F.
Lease payments for vehicles used for business or investment purposes are deductible in proportion to the vehicles business use. However, lessees must include a certain amount in income during the year that the vehicle is leased, to partially offset the amounts by the lease payments exceed the luxury automobile limits. Rev. Proc. 2013-21 includes tables that identify the income inclusion amounts for passenger automobiles, trucks and vans with lease terms that begin in calendar year 2013.
