The Donor Family Program supports donor families during their grief walk by supplying them with answers to questions about the donor process, and by providing grief literature. We also provide information regarding how to write to recipients as well as providing updates on their condition (when requested). Communication between donor families and the recipients completes the circle. It heals the hearts of the grieving families as well as promotes healing within the recipients as they take the opportunity to acknowledge the miraculous gift made possible by their donor.
If both the donor family and the recipient make the Aftercare Coordinator aware they would like to establish direct contact, the coordinator will assist in the process. The donor family and recipient must have established a relationship by written communication. Both parties must also agree to sign a release of information form before identities are revealed to each other.
We encourage the donor families to participate in the annual Celebration of Life Picnic. This is an event that brings recipients, donor families, living donors, clinicians, Legacy of Hope personnel as well as physicians together to celebrate LIFE. This event provides time to remember the donors who made the transplants possible.
Legacy of Hope holds an annual Donor Recognition Service for the donor families whose donation occurred in the previous year. This is a time for the donor families to honor their loved one surrounded by others who have experienced a similar loss.
Alabama Donor Family Quilts are a patchwork of memories, lovingly created primarily by donor family members. For more information and to view the quilt squares click here.
Every two years, donor families and recipients can participate in the Transplant Games of America. At these games, recipients participate in Olympic-style sporting events. Donor families participate in workshops, memorial services and tributes.

Double Trouble for SAG Members?
Posted: Mon., Feb. 4, 2013, 3:00pm PT
White joins AFTRA health and retirement board
National exec director is only trustee on SAG, AFTRA plans
By Dave McNary
In a sign of ramped-up efforts to combine SAG and AFTRA's health and retirement plans, SAG-AFTRA national exec director David White, already a trustee on the SAG pension and health plan, has been appointed to the AFTRA health and retirement board of trustees.
The move — which makes White the only trustee on both panels — came Saturday during a meeting of the SAG-AFTRA national board, with the vote coming from the AFTRA "legacy" board, consisting of members who held AFTRA slots before the two performer unions merged in March.
Reps for the union and the plans, which are operated separately, had no comment.
White will fill the slot vacated by AFTRA trustee Stephen Burrow. The explanation given at Saturday's meeting for the move is that White will be able to aid the merger of the plans.
White is listed as one of 18 union trustees on the SAG plan, while Burrow was one of 11 union trustees for the AFTRA plan.
Proponents of the merger touted the combined SAG-AFTRA as having more power than the individual unions and asserted that combining the unions would be a first step toward combining the separate SAG and AFTRA health and retirement plans — and a move toward solving the problem of performers not qualifying for coverage under separate SAG and AFTRA health and pension plans. That issue was a key in the merger campaign, with opponents complaining unsuccessfully that SAG leaders had not performed an audit on the impact of merging the plans.
SAG-AFTRA leaders received a report Saturday about the progress of "reciprocity" and the merger of the plans but gave no details in their recap of the announcement beyond reporting that "discussions are progressing." Last summer SAG-AFTRA requested the trustees to hold discussions on how to handle the move logistically.

David White Appointed to AFTRA Health & Retirement Board
4:06 PM PST 2/4/2013 by Jonathan Handel
The appointment comes amid member frustration that the SAG and AFTRA pension, health and retirement plans are still as separate as they were before the unions merged. In a move designed to advance the process of unifying the SAG and AFTRA pension and health plans, SAG-AFTRA national executive director David White has been appointed to the AFTRA Health & Retirement Funds' board of trustees, the union confirmed Monday.
The appointment came Saturday during the union's national board meeting.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, White confirmed the appointment and added, "I look forward to working on behalf of the Funds' participants," referring to union members who receive AFTRA health or retirement benefits.
White was already a trustee of the SAG Pension & Health Plan. The move makes him the only person to serve on both boards – and thus the only person duty-bound to serve two different sets of participants. That may be a tough juggling act as discussions between the two organizations continue.
White replaces AFTRA trustee Stephen Burrow.
SAG P&H and AFTRA H&R are legally independent of the union and each other. Each is governed by a board of trustees composed half of SAG-AFTRA appointees and half of management appointees. SAG P&H has a total of 36 trustees and AFTRA H&R has 22. The union appointees include union staff and members. The management appointees come from the executive ranks of studios, TV networks, and the advertising industry, among others.
Although the unions merged more than 10 months ago, the two P&H/H&R plans have not announced any concrete progress towards unification, which was one of the key arguments for the merger. Members continue to fail to qualify for health coverage or pension credits, sometimes falling short of necessary thresholds by just a few hundred dollars.
According to a statement released by the union Sunday, "the trustees of [the two plans] … continue formal communications regarding the issue of reciprocity and, ultimately, merger between the plans, and discussions are progressing between the two organizations."

Michigan baseball's College World Series run proves it can hang with powerhouses
Orion Sang | Detroit Free Press Updated 12:21 p.m. ET June 12, 2019
When Michigan baseball beat No. 1 seed UCLA, 4-2, on Sunday night to advance to the College World Series, the Wolverines became just the second Big Ten team to reach Omaha in the past 35 years.
The significance of the feat wasn't lost on the players.

"It shows that the Big Ten and the north can play baseball," said first baseman Jimmy Kerr. "They can hang with the other guys.
More from Windsor:
How Michigan baseball's World Series run is changing legacy of program
"It shows that players don't have to go to the south to get that kind of baseball experience," Kerr later said. "It shows that your SEC, ACC powerhouse school can be in the Big Ten and is right here in Ann Arbor and Michigan."
There's often a stigma associated with northern baseball teams, in part because of how rare postseason success has been. Entering this season, Pac-12 teams had made 101 appearances in the 72-year history of the College World Series. The SEC has 99 and the ACC 94.
The Big Ten had just 28 all-time before U-M, now making its first trip to the CWS since 1984.
Tommy Henry pulled off 'the gutsiest performance in college baseball'. Here's how
Michigan baseball: What to know about College World Series-bound Wolverines
Michigan seems hellbent on proving it belongs among the nation's elite.
"Our message has been the same all along," said Michigan coach Erik Bakich. "You don't have to go to another part of the country to get great baseball, to develop as a professional prospect, and most importantly, to participate in the postseason.
"I think making a run like this will certainly open some eyes for some of those elite-level players in our state."
According to Bakich, it often has been difficult to keep top talent within the state. The program has a mantra — "We want the best players in Michigan to stay at Michigan" — but that isn't always the path chosen by highly recruited prospects.
"For a while, it seemed like it was a split camp," Bakich said. "It didn't matter how we recruited or what we did. Half of them, it was already predetermined that they were going south. And then the other half, guys like Tommy (Henry) and Karl (Kauffmann), and Ben Keizer and Jeff Criswell, and all the others, they were obviously open to staying in-state."
Still, the foundation of this team largely is built upon in-state players. Outfielder Jordan Brewer, the Big Ten Player of the Year, is from St. Joseph. Designated hitter Jordan Nwogu, a first team All-Big Ten selection, attended Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor.
How U-M coach Erik Bakich's past has shaped U-M's present
Michigan's top three starting pitchers — Kauffmann (Birmingham Brother Rice), Henry (Portage Northern) and Jeff Criswell (Portage Central) — are all from the state. Reliever Ben Keizer, who closed out Sunday's win, also is from Central.
"You look up and down our lineup," Bakich said, "and there's Michigan kids everywhere."
Bakich's success on the recruiting trail isn't just relative to Michigan, though. U-M's 2017 class was ranked No. 10 by Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, marking it as the highest-ranked class ever in the Big Ten.

Michigan's Jordan Nwogu slides safely into second base during the first inning of an NCAA college baseball tournament super regional game against UCLA in Los Angeles, Saturday, June 8, 2019.
Michigan had five players taken in this year's MLB draft, including three within the first three rounds. And the hope is that U-M's trip to Omaha lays a foundation while continuing to open doors in recruiting.
"If we believe we can recruit and develop the best players in the country, then we should believe we can play at the highest level in the country, as well," Bakich said. "That recruiting class a couple years ago that was (ranked) top 10 in the country; that wasn't supposed to happen either, so maybe neither should this, but now it's happening.
"You just hope as you build a program that at some point you can move the needle enough to where you get over the hump and 35 years doesn't have to pass before you're able to do this again. So we'll certainly hope that now that we've navigated our way through the postseason and gotten to this point that we'll be able to do this on a consistent basis and be a better postseason team."

The legend of the octopus. Every April, at the Joe Louis Arena.
Last Sunday was the anniversary of a quirky piece of Red Wings' history. It was exactly 60 years ago that a Detroit fan, and the owner of a local fish market, Pete Cusimano, in cahoots with his brother, Jerry, tossed an octopus onto the ice of the Olympia stadium, at the start of the 1952 play-offs. At that time, a team needed to win eight games to lift the Stanley Cup so the Cusimano's symbolic gesture was that the Wings needed one win for each cephalopod leg*.
The Wings didn't lose a game from that moment, sweeping the semi-finals and final to lift the Cup. The legend of the octopus was born and Red Wings games have been routinely interrupted by octopi landing on the ice ever since, especially during the play-offs. It remains perfectly acceptable, come April and the play-offs, for Detroit fans to declare: "Respect the octopus!" without anybody looking sideways.
Of course, the real losers in his tradition are the poor sacrificed octopi, and the sourpusses at NHL headquarters who have tried repeatedly to stop the tradition, to the amusement of Wings fans. The Wings' Zamboni driver, Al Sobotka, is the one who usually gets handed the octo-remains by a linesman and he has the endearing habit of waving the octopus above his head as he leaves the ice, which doesn't exactly discourage fans.
Al Sobotka does his best to discourage Wings fans from their favourite prank.
In fact, the Wings' play-off mascot since 1995, Rally Al, a giant purple and ferocious-looking octopus that hangs from the rafters of the Joe Louis Arena, is named after Sobotka.
Anyway, anniversary or not, none of this helped the Red Wings in this year's play-offs. As of this morning, Melbourne time, they're already out. First-round losers to the Nashville Predators, having won only one game and having failed to score anywhere near enough goals to threaten to progress. Even with all our alleged forward firepower.
It's the earliest exit since 2006 and follows two pretty limp efforts in second round exits in the previous two seasons.
I'm gutted but not surprised. We started this season strangely and slowly, then hit a golden mid-season run of form. But lately, with a badly-timed rash of injuries and a complete, inexplicable lack of mojo when it mattered, we've looked off the pace.
You get the sense that the Wings' owner, pizza czar Mike Ilitch, general manager Ken Holland and coach Mike Babcock are going to be having some serious discussions in the wake of this one. I'm even nervous for Babcock's job, and I generally like him a lot as a coach. The fact is, our wildly-talented team – good enough to set an all-time NHL record for consecutive home-wins (starting the day Big Cat, Mack and I left town, as you may recall) and briefly top the entire competition, barely gave a yelp against the Preds.
Nik Lidstrom, post today's loss. I so hope this isn't the last shot of him in the No. 5.
We need new blood, new tactics or new energy, from somewhere. And we're no longer talking a few tweaks here or there.
Depressing, but the good news is that the Melbourne Ice team starts a new season next Saturday, and the Richmond Tigers are showing definite signs of finally becoming a team worth barracking for in the footy (he wrote nervously – I have said that before and been proven wrong, and Richmond plays Geelong on the rebound, at Geelong, tomorrow. Gulp).
But one thing about sport, in your moment of disappointment, you can take comfort in the fact a new season will bring fresh hope and memories. The Wings will rest, players will go, players will be hired, our veteran defender, captain and inspiration, Niklas Lidstrom (nickname: The Perfect Human), will hopefully decide to play again, and maybe the cards will be reshuffled into a better team than the one that just lost.
From my point of view, it was the most memorable Red Wings season ever, simply because Will, Mack and I made our live NHL debut and actually saw the team live, four times, in Washington DC and then at the fabled Joe – an absolute life highlight, regardless of the play-off fizzle. I'm still eyeing the idea of trying to get back to Motor City for the Winter Classic.
The city of Detroit's official flag features not one but two Latin quotes: Speramus Meliora and Resurget Cineribus. Written after the great Detroit fire of 1805, when the entire city, apart from one building and one chimney, burnt to the ground, they translate as: "We hope for better things" and "It will rise from the ashes".
For Red Wings fans, they both resonate today.
(* See, and you thought you didn't learn stuff on this blog).
See you next year, Rally Al.

Eight months after the first version of the project dropped, what appears to be an early version of the song leaked online. While the original upload has since been deleted, the rough draft version was much different from what we've all heard and discussed today.
The most shocking difference between the two versions is the lyrical content. The original song featured the line, "I feel like Taylor Swift still owe me sex," which is much more perverse than what hit the radio airwaves ("I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex").
In addition to the song taking a jab at Swift, the original version also threw out Amber Rose's name, with the lyrics, "I feel like Amber Rose still owe me sex / Why? / I made that b***h famous / Not really, but somewhat famous."
The song that we know and love (and love to hate) caused extra drama when West said that he called Swift in advance to get her permission to use the line. Swift promptly denied the claim. The controversy was rekindled months later when Kim Kardashian released audio of the two artists allegedly discussing the lyric.

Malaika Arora Reacts On Being Part Of Her Ex Arbaaz Khan's Production 'Dabangg 3' Post Their Divorce
Ever since the shoot of Dabangg 3 was announced, the question of whether Munni a.k.a. Malaika Arora will be part of the film or not, is looming large over her fans'. Check out what Malaika has to say!
Tags: Malaika Arora Malaika Arora Khan Salman Khan Arbaaz Khan Arjun Kapoor
By Akanksha Gupta Last Updated: Jul 18, 2019 | 04:28:31 IST
Just one glance at the 45-year-old, Malaika Arora, and you realise that even calling her goals would be an understatement as it is impossible for us to achieve what she has. Mother of a 17-year-old son, Malaika is looking gorgeous with each passing day like fine wine! In Bollywood, they say women have a shelf life and they start to fade out with age. But clearly, Malaika proves it otherwise! Making her debut with the evergreen song, Gur Naal Ishq Mittha, over the years Malaika has made the nation dance on her tunes.

And who can forget the desi, sensuous, tadakta-bhadakta moves in Munni Badnaam from Dabangg? There's nothing we can possibly say about this peppy dance number from Dabangg, that hasn't been said before. Many Sheila, Chameli and Pinky came after Munni, but no one could beat those killer desi moves and sass! Ever since the shoot of Dabangg 3 was announced, the question of whether Munni a.k.a. Malaika Arora will be part of the film or not, is looming large over her fans' heads.
In a recent interview with The Times Of India, Malaika Arora was quizzed whether she will be a part of Dabangg 3. Putting all speculations to rest, she said, "No my dear, I am not involved with the film. Everyone involved with the project has moved on and I only wish each and everyone all the best for the venture."
Revealing plans about her upcoming projects, Malaika Arora stated, "I would definitely want to produce some really good content in my company. The kind of content you see across platforms, in films and otherwise, is so promising. I might actually produce a short film or something but nothing immediately." She continued, "A lot of ideas have come my way and I am just taking my time to green light one or some of them. Actually, this is the best time of my life. For any woman today, life actually begins post 40. It's an age in which a woman was once considered oh-so-redundant. Today, she's a lot freer in that same age window."
Also, a source close to the makers has informed The Times Of India that the popular Munni Badnaam song will be recreated but with a twist. The source had said, "Malaika Arora's foot-tapping item number Munni Badnam Hui will be re-created and will feature Salman. This time, it will be presented to the audiences with a different twist." The source added, "The lyrics will undergo a drastic change too. And Salman has decided to wear the overcoat of this Badnami himself and the song will be called Munna Badnaam Hua." (Also Read: Arjun Rampal And Gabriella Demetriades Blessed With First Child, He Becomes Father For Third Time)
Malaika Arora was a part of the Khan-khandaan being the wife of Salim Khan and Sushila Charak's second son, Arbaaz Khan. But in 2017, Malaika and Arbaaz were granted divorce and a year later, the former removed the 'Khan' surname from her name. Since 2018, rumours have been rife that Malaika has found love again in Kapoor khandaan ka chiraag, Arjun Kapoor but the question of 'are-they-aren't-they-dating' always surrounded the lovebirds. But it was on Arjun's birthday in 2019, when finally, a post by Malaika served as a confirmation that we needn't need to write the term 'rumoured' before their names anymore.
Arjun Kapoor had finally marked his debut on his ladylove, Malaika Arora's social media profile on his 34th birthday. Malaika had taken to her Instagram to give us a glimpse of their 'us' time from one of their vacations and wish her 'crazy and insanely funny' partner, Arjun. Dressed in a blue and white striped coordinated set, Malaika had captioned her post with Arjun as, "Happy bday my crazy, insanely funny n amazing @arjunkapoor ... love n happiness always".
Arjun Kapoor had earlier dated Salman Khan's sister, Arpita Khan and now, he is in a relationship with his ex-sister-in-law, Malaika Arora. This gave rise to the rumours about Salman banning Arjun and his father, Boney Kapoor from entering his house due to the former's growing closeness with Malaika. A source close to the Khan family had shared with the Deccan Chronicle, "Arjun first dated Salman's youngest sister Arpita. He broke up with her and became friends with Malaika Arora who was married to Salman's brother Arbaaz. That was when Salman began to get annoyed with Arjun. But the latter convinced Bhai that he would never do anything to hurt the Khan family. But after Malaika's divorce from Arbaaz, her public appearances with Arjun and whispers all around of their impending marriage, Salman is livid."

KRK Launches New Rokit Line of Powered Studio Monitors
KRK Systems, the world's leading manufacturer of powered recording monitors, launched the second generation of their industry-standard Rokit monitor. The second generation Rokit incorporates several technologies from the company's flagship VXT and E8B lines, including radically radiused edges along the front of the cabinet. The new Rokits replace the current Rokit 5", 6" and 8" models.
Since 2004 Rokit monitors have provided thousands of musicians, songwriters, producers and remixers with a value-priced monitor that delivered meaningful mixes that translate to all listening environments. The new Rokit remains true to this legacy while providing a sleeker, more modern look that is as functional as it is beautiful. A key component to the new look is the molded front baffle. This design feature virtually eliminates diffraction distortion caused by standard flat baffles.
The Rokits leverage KRK's research and development into baffle design and fabrication. The Rokit G2's curved front baffle was engineered to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies, resulting in a sweet spot that is significantly larger than products with square or lightly rounded baffles. The baffle also houses a molded front-facing bass port that minimizes low-frequency phase distortion and unwanted frequency emphasis typical of rear-facing bass ports. The end result is a harmonious yet accurate blend of low and high-frequency components that result in a more accurate speaker. Additionally, the Rokit G2's voicing has been slightly enhanced to provide even better mix clarity and precision.
"KRK has always been respected for engineering monitors that accurately reflect what is going on in the mix", said Tony Rodrigues, Vice-President of Marketing for KRK Systems. "Even in this day of 'sweet' sounding monitors that demo well in the store but fall down in a mixing environment, KRK has stayed true to its commitment of providing accurate, honest tools for home, project and professional studios", added Rodrigues.
The new Rokit G2's have a MAP price of $149, $199 and $249 for the 5, 6 and 8 inch versions, respectively. They are available now at leading music retailers around the world.
About KRK Systems:
A member of the Stanton Group of companies, KRK Systems is a leader in studio monitors and control room solutions for the professional audio market. KRK products are distributed throughout the world via a network of distributors and dealers in more than 75 countries.

Q: DirectX: Storing Multiple Vertices in Vector Buffer I have just started using DirectX with C++.I have been following DirectX tutorial. I have to draw multiple rectangles on the screen. I have created an array to store the 4 vertices of rectangle. This array of 4 vertices are placed in each index of another newly created array. This array is passed to the VectorBuffer. The VectorBuffer could not calculate the correct size of array passed to it.Due to this when render frame is called nothing can be seen on the screen. How to store multiple objects in single vector buffer.
My code is :
CUSTOMVERTEX** Array = new CUSTOMVERTEX*[2];
CUSTOMVERTEX OurVertices1[] = {
        { 0, 0, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },   //meaning x,y,z,RHW,Dword

    { 100, 0, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },

    { 0, 100, 0.0f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },

    { 100, 100, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },

    };

    CUSTOMVERTEX OurVertices2[] = {
        { 200, 200, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },

    { 400, 200, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },

    { 200, 400, 0.0f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },

    { 400, 400, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },

    };

    Array[0] = OurVertices1;// placing vertices in array 0 index
    Array[1] = OurVertices2; // placing vertices in array 1 index

d3ddev->CreateVertexBuffer(8* sizeof(CUSTOMVERTEX),
        0,
        CUSTOMFVF,
        D3DPOOL_MANAGED,
        &v_buffer,
        NULL);
    VOID* pVoid;    // the void* we were talking about

    v_buffer->Lock(0, 0, (void**)&pVoid, 0);    // locks v_buffer, the buffer we made earlier
    memcpy(pVoid, Array,sizeof(Array));    // passing array to vbuffer
    v_buffer->Unlock();    // unlock v_buffer

    d3ddev->SetFVF(CUSTOMFVF);
    d3ddev->SetStreamSource(0, v_buffer, 0, sizeof(CUSTOMVERTEX));

//render_frame
void render_frame(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 d3ddev, LPDIRECT3DVERTEXBUFFER9 v_buffer)
{
    d3ddev->Clear(0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(0, 0, 0), 1.0f, 0);

    d3ddev->BeginScene();

    // select which vertex format we are using

    // select the vertex buffer to display
    d3ddev->SetStreamSource(0, v_buffer, 0, sizeof(CUSTOMVERTEX));
    d3ddev->SetFVF(CUSTOMFVF);
    // copy the vertex buffer to the back buffer
    d3ddev->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP, 0, 2);
    d3ddev->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP, 4, 2);

    // copy the vertex buffer to the back buffer
    //d3ddev->DrawPrimitive(D3DPT_TRIANGLESTRIP, 4, 2);

    d3ddev->EndScene();

    d3ddev->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
}

But could not get two object on the screen. Is there any other method to place multiple object in vector buffer?

A: You are creating buffer to hold 8 vertex structs, but then store there just a single pointer by calling memcpy(pVoid, Array, sizeof(Array));. Note that Array is just a plain pointer, despite of its name. You should initialize vertex buffer with vertex data:
CUSTOMVERTEX OurVertices[] =
{
//  1
    { 0, 0, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },   //meaning x,y,z,RHW,Dword
    { 100, 0, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },
    { 0, 100, 0.0f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },
    { 100, 100, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 0), },
//  2
    { 200, 200, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },
    { 400, 200, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },
    { 200, 400, 0.0f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },
    { 400, 400, 0.0f, 0.0f, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255, 255, 255), },
};

memcpy(pVoid, OurVertices, sizeof(OurVertices));

Or you can just initialize those vertices in-place by casting static_cast<CUSTOMVERTEX *>(pVoid).

Biografia e opere
Figlio di Giuliano il Caldeo, sembra che abbia coniato per primo il termine teurgia o che, comunque, ne abbia stabilito le caratteristiche nella sua opera sugli Oracoli caldaici, una raccolta di frammenti sui riti teurgici di notevole suggestione lirica.

La Suda sostiene che il padre di Giuliano fosse un caldeo avente il suo stesso nome che aveva redatto un'opera sui dèmoni in quattro libri e che lui stesso fosse l'autore del Θεουργικά, Τελεστικά, Λόγια δι ὲπῶν.

La pratica religiosa "teurgica" è certamente precedente all'opera di Giuliano il Teurgo ma gli Oracoli caldaici sono la prima opera scritta giunta a noi che tratta di questo argomento; in questi testi la teurgia si differenzia dalla teologia in quanto, a differenza della seconda, la prima non si limita a discutere intorno al divino, indicando invece i riti e le pratiche per evocarlo.

Il termina teurgia stava dunque a significare "agire come un Dio", nel senso di aiutare gli uomini a trasformare il loro status in senso divino con l'aiuto dell'unione mistica.

L'opera di Giuliano il Teurgo ebbe notevole influenza sull'ultimo Neoplatonismo.
Così anche l'imperatore romano neoplatonico del IV secolo, Giuliano, prima ancora di vestire la porpora imperiale e avvertito da Eusebio di Mindo rispetto alla teurgia, praticata da Massimo di Efeso, rispose piccatamente: "Tu puoi restare fermo sui tuoi libri, io so dove andare". Quindi Giuliano si recò da Massimo di Efeso in Atene e venne così iniziato ai Misteri eleusini. Per i suoi studi Giuliano chiese al suo amico Prisco di spedirgli una copia del commentario del filosofo neoplatonico e teurgo Giamblico su Giuliano il Teurgo; a tal proposito commentò di essere avido della filosofia di Giamblico e che nulla al mondo poteva stargli al pari.

Tassi, in Loango National Park, is one of the last few places on earth where large mammals can still roam freely on the beach. Maybe that explains why it's only in Gabon that hippos have been seen swimming in the surf. Here, during the rainy season, buffalos and forest elephants can often be found grazing on the coastal grasslands and the beach. Occasionally, families of gorillas can also be spotted foraging in the trees alongside the beach. Many of the Gabonese beaches provide a significant habitat for migrant shorebirds, including African skimmers and Damara terns, whose numbers are quickly diminishing across the rest of Africa.

3 Oct 2017 Screen Zealots 2017 Film Reviews 4 comments
From the moment I first saw "Kingsman: The Secret Service," I knew it was something truly special. It topped my Top 10 Best Movies of 2015 list in the coveted number one slot and after multiple viewings, cemented itself among my favorite movies of all time. To say my expectations for "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" were high is something of an understatement. The original film was a rare one that begged for a sequel and I'm glad we've been handed one, but I really wish it was better than it turned out to be.
I want to be clear that while this film is disappointing and mostly lacking in intelligence, charm and wit, it still has its moments and the glorious, hyper violent end action sequence is a ton of fun. But it's impossible to overlook what amounts to a relentless dumbing down of the entire "Kingsman" franchise in a lame attempt of desperation to outdo its predecessor.
When the Kingsman HQ is blown up by missiles launched by the drug peddling super villain Poppy (a delightfully psycho, hammy performance from Julianne Moore), our hero Eggsy (Taron Egerton), back-from-the-dead Harry (Colin Firth), and loyal sidekick Merlin (Mark Strong) join up with their American counterpart, the Statesman. Champ (Jeff Bridges) runs the secret organization and heads the team, including Tequila (Channing Tatum), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) and Ginger (Halle Berry). With their exaggerated Southern accents, ten gallon cowboy hats, and bloated swagger, the filmmakers seem to have mistaken Kentucky with Texas. The Statesman crew is enjoyable (although Tatum is completely wasted), but Pascale becomes the scene stealer with his 1970s macho Burt Reynolds bravado.
The film confuses a string of stunt casting with meaningful humor, and overall the project lacks creativity and the pulsing mean streak that made the first movie feel so original. Instead of another smart and snarky send-up of James Bond movies, audiences are forced into two and a half hours of aggressively tiresome repetition (we see characters dumped into a meat grinder twice and an extended, distracting celebrity cameo that quickly wears out its welcome as it balloons into a supporting role) and callbacks to the first film that serve as reminders of the sequel's role as a pale imitator. Worst of all, the film is missing its clever, subversive humor. The smart satire is tossed out the window in favor of more slam-bang action sequences and animated spy weapons like an electric lasso. It's violent fun, but it's missing that spark that made the original film so beloved by film nerds.
Most disappointing is the film's opening car chase scene, an awkward, CGI mess through London's streets. I'm so disappointed that real stunt drivers and practical effects weren't used, making this the second most frustrating animated car sequence this year since "The Fate of the Furious" and the awful looking parking garage bit. Perhaps I should refer to my disappointment as the "Baby Driver" effect: if you're going to have cars in your movie, then put actual cars in the frame and talented drivers behind the wheel.
Once the plot delves into a truly irrelevant and weird message about the stigma of drug use, it skids off the rails in a spectacular fashion. Instead of steering itself back on track with a trademark crackerjack smugness, director Matthew Vaughn visually says "screw it" and goes full blown overkill, making the film feel like he was hell bent on trying to outdo himself rather than making a quality film. This sequel tries too hard and the film suffers for it. This doesn't necessarily make "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" a total dud, but it is very disappointing to those of us who are super fans of the original.

Yep. I may have been far too generous with my rating. I went back and forth on it but that shootout finale was pretty sweet.

Q: How can I fix vue router issue in a CloudFront environment? I'm currently working on Vue 2 app hosted on S3 and served through CloudFront. With my routing mode set to history, things weren't working properly upon initial deployment.
However, I was able to fix that by adding redirection rules to my CF distribution:

Things were working fine, but now for whatever reason, that stopped working, I'm getting a HTTP 403 on all pages/paths I try to visit. The only difference between then and now is that my app has more pages/paths. Nothing else has changed. Here's a sample response header:

It's few and far in between, but there have been a couple of instances when I've gotten HTTP 404. The puzzling part is that the pages/paths load up fully, but not all the stylings get applied. For example, a fully bolded 12-sentence paragraph might display only 4 sentences as bolded.
Initially, I thought there was an issue with CF, but I have tried everything I could think of and talked with AWS Support, but nothing has come of that so far.
My next guess is that this may be a routing issue, but I'm not sure what to try. The routing issues I've faced in the past revolve around pages/paths not loading up at all so this is new territory for me, and I have not the slightest idea where to begin my troubleshooting efforts.
Has anyone faced a similar issue in the past? If so, how did you fix it?

A: So it turns out, the issue originated from the way I was setting up Tailwind.
Instead of setting things up myself, I just pointed to Tailwind's CDN and the issue was resolved.
The version of Tailwind I was using was a bit old, so it could have been a dependency issue as well.


While the fictional suburb of Hoogye (후계) is set in Seoul, some of the key locations in My Mister are actually located outside of the capital city — for example, Sang-hoon and Ki-hoon's cleaning office is located in Icheon (이천), while their childhood friend, Jung-hee, runs her bar in Incheon.
Inspired to visit a location in the drama? We suggest heading to Ichon-ro 29-gil [이촌로29길] in Yongsan-gu, Seoul as Mich KDL did, to get a My Mister feeling.
Search My Mister on KDL for a visual look of all locations.
Thank you. I really like the drama and I think the setting of place plays a big role in building the gloomy atmosphere of the drama. I wonder, do you take request? I am currently watching Life on Mars. I think the setting of place also plays important role in building the atmosphere and plot of the drama. I would be very happy if you cover it too.
thank you Yenni for your kind words! I found myself quite drawn to the drama personally even though it made me a little uncomfortable at times haha. As for Life On Mars – it's not a drama on our radar but I've heard really good things about it. We'll see what we can do! But, if you'd like to get the ball rolling, you're welcome to 🙂 If there are any locations that you recognise, feel free to let us know!


Well, here's a nice listen. During his annual WONDER-FULL event in Los Angeles, legendary R&B artist, the great Stevie Wonder praised Apple founder, guru and visionary, Steve Jobs for making iOS devices available to everyone.
At around the 4:38 mark, Stevie Wonder thanks Steve Jobs, for his technological vision saying: "There's nothing on the IPhone or IPad that you can do that I can't do". Very nice to hear.
Enjoy the above video. It's pretty dissonant sound-wise but still worth the listen.

Prof Denis Noble (University of Oxford) and Prof Marco Viceconti (Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna) are both founding fathers of the VPHi and have been involved with the Institute from before its inception. Denis was the first VPHi President, serving 3 consecutive terms. Marco was the first Executive Director – his name at some point was all but synonymous to the VPHi – to then take over the position of President from Denis.
No matter how well the digital version of this conference has worked for the scientific sessions, an award ceremony is not the same thing without the presentation of a commemorative plaque and a big round of applause from the audience to show their appreciation. Due to this unusual and difficult situation caused by the COVID pandemic, the plaques will be sent through the mail and as for the applause: we will make up for this at the next occasion where we are able to meet physically again.
For now, on behalf of the VPHi community, we would ask Denis and Marco to accept our sincerest gratitude and deep recognition for their crucial contributions to creating and realizing the vision of in silico medicine and the Virtual Physiological Human!

The new feature by Cartoon Saloon will have its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
It tells the story of Parvana, a 12-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is arrested, Parvana dresses as a boy, and together with her best friend Shauzia, she risks discovery to try to find out if her father is still alive.
The world premiere of the film will now be hosted at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival (7-17 September 2017), where the film will be screened as a Special Presentation.
TIFF has been known to act as a forerunner of Academy Award nominations, and the decision to put the film into TIFF is a move that cannot be underestimated.
The Breadwinner is a co-production between Aircraft Pictures Canada, Melusine Productions Luxembourg and Cartoon Saloon, and the screenplay is written by Anita Doron and Deborah Ellis. Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea) acts as the film's co-producer, along with Anthony Leo, Andrew Rosen and Paul Young.
Eric Beckman (GKIDS CEO/Founder) and GKIDS President David Jesteadt executively produce the film, along with Angelina Jolie, Jehane Noujaim, Karim Amer, Mimi Polk Gitlin, Jon Levin, Regina K. Scully, Frank Falcone and Mary Bredinn, and Cartoon Saloon's Gerry Shirren.
GKIDS handles North American theatrical rights (scheduling a fall 2017 release), while WestEnd Films handles international sales.

Nice One:Bank robbers get stuck in traffic
The robbers, one of who is believed to be a security guard had robbed Abyssinia Bank of about 206,000 dollars and were escaping when they met the traffic jam.
Some armed robbers had a bad day in Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa on Tuesday, June 12 after the driver of their car used a wrong lane and collided with another car following a bank robbery.
The robbers, one of who is believed to be a security guard had robbed Abyssinia Bank of about 206,000 dollars and were escaping when they met the traffic jam, as they were hurrying to avoid arrest.
They had reportedly attempted to run away, but some of them were arrested by passersby who had initially suspected hit and run.
However, a peep into the car revealed bundles of suspicious money hidden in the car.
Director of communications for the Abyssinia Bank, Aschalew Tamiru confirmed the robbery at his outfit to the BBC.
Aschalew Tamiru is quoted as saying: ''My friends and I tried to follow them but the car couldn't go beyond 50 meters due to the crash it suffered.
''I saw them driving the car down the wrong lane. Because of the traffic jam, the driver jumped out of the car and started running. Another young man from the passenger seat followed the driver.
"Then the people around the area started shouting and tried to stop them but one of the guys was holding a knife."
The Addis Ababa police have also confirmed the arrest of the robbers. Spokesperson of the police, Fassika Fenta is reported to have said about 5m birr ($185,000; £136,000) was saved for the bank.
Reports say the security guard at the bank who is suspected to have conspired with the robbers to attack the bank was among two of the suspects who had initially escaped.
Local media in Ethiopia have reported that all the suspects were later arrested, including one who threatened passersby with knife.

I finally saw this movie after I saw the teaser on tv.and I was like, damn this looks like one of my faves, so I decided to rent it and I was right! It's just a great film, and I think that anybody that likes to have fun and laugh can love this movie. So just sit back and relax, enjoy the music, the jokes and the story, and then watch the video to get more and more.

This movie is definitely one of the best animation movies I've seen in the past couple of years. It's got a great story and the characters are absolutely hilarious. My only regret is that I had to wait until it came out on DVD to see it, otherwise I would have watched it twice. I love all of the characters in this movie and will be watching it until it comes out on DVD!

I've seen this movie at least 7 times, and every time I find something new in it. I love it. It is funny, and the characters are memorable. There is a lot of Easter eggs in the movie, like the hidden room and the red lifeguard, so you should look it up! One thing I didn't like is that I don't think that there is enough time for the main characters to show off their abilities. But in this movie, they are all clever and fun. I'm a huge Disney fan, and I love all of their movies, but I think this is their best yet. 9/10

I am a big fan of Pixar movies. They always have a good story to tell and are usually full of humor. The last few years have been quite the opposite. They have been very slow and not so much laugh out loud funny. I am very disappointed with all the bad reviews that are being written about this film. I think that the people are being too harsh on a great movie. This movie was better than most of Pixar's previous movies. The animation is great and is very fun to watch. The story is very original and actually has a good message. The movie is entertaining and has a great message. I have seen all the other Pixar films and I have to say that this one is the best. This is one of the best films that I have seen in a long time. It is a family friendly movie and is definitely worth seeing. This movie is definitely a great movie to see if you are looking for a great family movie. I highly recommend that you see it. I give this movie a 9 out of 10.
It was kind of funny that this is one of the first Disney Channel movies to make it to cable. I'd always liked the animated shorts the most and it was nice to see them with a larger budget. It's definitely a movie to catch, and if you have some spare time, maybe rent it or rent it for the family. If you have seen it before, then you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm sure it will be around for a while.
Saw it twice in my state (Santa Cruz, CA) and loved it the second time. It's very different, for the most part, from other Disney movies and I loved that they managed to keep the movie family-friendly. The story was unique and has its ups and downs. The characters are well done and the adults are very likable. It's also great to see a movie with children of all ages, and not kid-friendly. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I loved it. I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
I really loved this movie. Not because it is a good movie, but because it's just funny. The two main characters, Peter and Valentine, are a good mix of both childish and tough, and their interactions are just funny. The ending is just great. It has something for everyone. It's not a one-to-one-film, but it's a very good film, and I give it a 9 out of 10. For any adult that is looking for a great laugh, this is definitely one to watch. I was laughing for almost the entire length of the movie. And, when I first saw it, it seemed to be a "bad" movie. But, I don't think that it's a bad movie. It's just really good. Go watch it, you won't regret it!

This movie is not only cute, it's a good family movie. The animation is amazing, the music is great, and the story is just as good as the previous movie. The story is about a boy named Justin and his brother, Jacob, who are brothers and have been separated for years. The story is very well done and very funny. The characters are also very well done. Justin is a very smart and nice boy, but he is very shy. Jacob is a boy who is a little more mature and is the brother who Justin has been missing. The characters are very well done and they fit in very well. The animation is very good, and the voice actors do a very good job. The story is very good, and it is a good family movie. This movie is very good and very funny. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes cute, funny, and great animation. This is a good family movie, and it is a very good family movie.
A "romantic" animated movie made with humor and warmth. The characters are endearing and the story is fun and entertaining. It's a movie you can watch and laugh at, like many other movies. It has a lot of wonderful and endearing characters. The animation is excellent and well done. The voice actors did a great job and matched the personalities of the characters. I would highly recommend this movie. I found it to be more entertaining than other animated movies I have seen.
I can't say enough about this movie. I first saw it about 2 weeks ago. I'm so glad I did because I never thought I would enjoy a movie like this. It was so funny. I would love to go to a movie like this and not have to pay for a ticket. You get to be part of the movie. It's not the same feeling you have watching a normal movie because you don't know what's going to happen. It's like a magical world where you can be in. I can't wait to see this movie again. I think I'm going to watch it again when it comes out on DVD.
When I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought it was going to be a slasher movie with a little comedy thrown in. But when I saw the movie I was floored. The movie is full of comedy. The joke is that the characters aren't acting like normal people, and are acting like animals. They are not acting like people. In fact, it's the most realistic thing I've seen in a movie. The movie is very funny. There is also a character in the movie named "Porky", who is a bully who comes to the home of a little girl named "Porky" (played by "Shaun of the Dead" writer, David Cross) and his dog. When Porky sees Porky he wants to protect him. When the story is told to "Porky" he does not believe the story. But when he is presented with the pictures of the movie he does believe that the story is true. The way the movie is told is very clever. The movie is the best you'll see in a while. I was also very impressed by the soundtrack. It is extremely catchy and fits in with the movie. If you are looking for a good movie and you love this kind of movie, then this is your movie. This is a must see for all your friends, because it is a great movie.
I saw the special feature on the DVD of Family, I was not familiar with the film but I liked it. It's the only Pixar film that I didn't really know anything about. It's very cute, sweet and very funny. It's a family film for all ages. It's not as long as some of the other Pixar films but it still doesn't feel long. It is a really great family film! I've never really liked any Pixar films before but I really liked this one. I recommend it to anyone that loves a good family film. 9/10
This movie is about a boy named Hans and his family. When they go to Disneyland, the whole family gets picked on and when the family get to Disney World, the family is attacked and the family become aliens. In the next scenes, the family gets to live in a house with ghosts, unicorns, and a giant raccoon. In the next scene, the family comes back to their real world and learn that Hans and his family are still here, and they don't know how to fix the house. When the family goes to work, the ghosts show up again. At the beginning, the family were sent back to their world, but they have to go to Disney World. They go to Disney World and meet a boy named Hans, who plays with his toys. At the end, Hans tells the story of how he got back to his world and how he was always wanting to go to Disney World. Hans ends up helping the family and all the characters from the first movie. The movie was very good and it was so entertaining and funny.
I saw the film in 3D on a 70-inch screen, and I was impressed. This film has wonderful animation, beautifully animated scenes, and wonderful music. I also liked the characters, they're all unique, and I was really drawn into their story. The music is very beautiful, as is the animation. If you're a fan of the 1980's era, I highly recommend this film. I was also very impressed with the voice acting, and how well the voice actors were able to translate their characters. I am a big fan of Mr. Martin Short and Amanda Seyfried. I really enjoyed the song, "Look Inside", sung by Ms. Seyfried. It was one of the most beautiful songs in the film, and the most emotional song in the film. The song was so good. I was also very impressed with the voice acting, as I love the actors. As for the story, I really enjoyed it. I really loved the characters, and the story was very well written. I also liked how the story was told. It was very clean, and it wasn't too dirty. I enjoyed the story, and I really liked the animation. It's a great movie, and I recommend it to everyone. It's a beautiful film, and I highly recommend it.

This movie is exactly what I had in mind when I bought it. One of the best animated films I've ever seen, and I own many animated films. The story was great, the characters were awesome, the animation was beautiful, and everything about the movie was great. It was funny and nostalgic at the same time, and I can't wait to watch it again. The characters are really likable and entertaining. The beginning was great, and everything flowed together great. If you're looking for a good story, you should check this movie out. The characters are fun and entertaining, and the story is great. It's a perfect movie for any family! This is definitely a movie that everyone should own!
I've been a fan of Pixar since I was a little girl and they are my favorite animation company. This movie was awesome! It was a little scary at times but it was still awesome and amazing. I also love the way they kept the songs throughout the movie, even though the songs weren't the best they were still good. I love this movie and it is definitely worth watching. It was amazing! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good scare!
The movie that children and their parents have always been waiting for. A new family decides to move in, but at the same time a clown terrorises them. This movie is so perfect for kids, with the humour, the great concept, and the great characters. It's like having the summer camp of a kid, you can actually feel that it's your kids all over again. It's like watching the summer camp of your own children and you feel so good. I recommend this movie to everyone, but especially for parents that know how to handle their children. Everyone in the family will enjoy this movie, especially kids. There is a lot of humor, with the characters, with the animals, and the plot. This is a great movie for kids and families, and is great for kids to watch.
Tiffany W.
Forget about my review of "The Smurfs" and what they say about it. This is a completely different film, and if you want to see what I mean, please watch this. It's a super funny movie. It doesn't need to be called "Smurfette" and it doesn't need to be called "Naughty Smurf". It's just a different film with a totally different message. It's a good film, a great film, a great film. If you don't like this film, then you probably don't like anything, and you're a complete and utter hypocrite. Thank you.
Bobby Meyer
I am a huge fan of the movie-Fantastic Four.I have watched them a number of times, and all of them are great. The movie is very fun.It's funny, light-hearted, and good for all ages. So you should go and see it, you'll enjoy it. It's a great family movie. Don't listen to the bad reviews about this movie. You will be glad you watched it.
Wayne P.
This movie was really cool. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The movie is mostly a comedy, but it has some scary parts too. It's not scary in the sense that there is a lot of violence, but it has a lot of violence in it, and that was very funny. I think that this movie will be a sleeper hit. It's got a lot of funny parts, and it has a great soundtrack. I recommend this movie for anyone who enjoys a movie about animals and how they go through a transformation, and also for people who like horror movies. It's definitely not a movie for everyone. 9/10.

When I first saw this movie, I was disappointed. But I decided to give it another shot, and I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are very likable and the plot is fairly simple. But it's a very fun movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes a light, easy to watch, family movie.
This is a very sweet and funny movie. It's not like the other movies with a few funny scenes, it's a lot of fun. The story is great, and it's a great way to spend a rainy day. I recommend it to all people who like movies that are funny and have a heart. I give it an 8 out of 10.
I remember when I first saw this film when I was little and loved it. I also remember when I saw it again on TV and I was very disappointed. I didn't like it then because I was too young and thought it was too childish. But I've now seen it many times and I've always loved it. I loved how the whole family is different and how the story is different. It has a lot of funny scenes and I love the way the story is told. It's a good family film and it's a good film for all ages. I highly recommend it. My vote is 8/10.

I first met Loretta and Dave for their engagement session last summer. They came all the way from the city to meet me and brought me a bottle of wine. It was like I was meeting with old friends they knew me so well already! HAHA! Little did they know that when they handed me that lovely bottle of wine I had a surprise for them that I was expecting. They were the first of my clients I had told my news too and they were so excited and so kind. They have to be two of the sweetest people and I am so honoured to have had the privilege to document their wedding day as well. Here is little of their beautiful love story and my favourite moments from their wedding at the Heintzman House this past fall.

Climate change: Commission launches consultation on further reducing industrial gas emissions
Brussels, 26 September 2011
The European Commission today launched a public consultation on strengthening EU measures to reduce emissions of fluorinated gases, a group of industrial gases which are extremely powerful contributors to global warming.
A Commission review,1 which was also adopted today, concludes that the EU's existing Regulation on fluorinated gases ('F-gases') is having a significant impact but that, without further measures, F-gas emissions are expected to remain at today's levels in the long term.
The review identifies wide scope for further cost-effective emission reductions, mainly due to the growing feasibility of replacing F-gases in several sectors with alternatives that make less or no contribution to climate change. Potentially the EU could eliminate up to two thirds of today's fluorinated gas emissions by 2030, it finds.
Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action, said: "The EU Regulation on fluorinated gases has successfully broken a growing trend in emissions and driven technological innovation. However, making the transition to a competitive low-carbon EU economy by 2050 requires ambitious action to cut emissions from all sectors. It is clear there is considerable scope for cost-effective reductions in F-gas emissions and following the public consultation I intend to propose new legislative measures next year."
The consultation runs until 19 December 2011 and is addressed to all interested stakeholders.
The potential policy options being consulted on include new voluntary agreements, bans for new products and equipment and the introduction of a scheme for phasing-down the placing of HFCs on the EU market.
The Commission's review of the 2006 F-gas Regulation shows that this measure and a parallel Directive addressing the use of fluorinated gases in mobile air conditioning are already contributing to the achievement of EU and Member State emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol. The policy is expected to prevent almost half of projected F-gas emissions by 2050 if shortcomings in their implementation and enforcement are rectified. The Commission therefore calls upon Member States to intensify their efforts in this respect.
However, despite these significant impacts of the current legislation, total F-gas emissions are not expected to decrease in the long term compared to today's level. This is because they are being used in a growing number of appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigeration. These are, however, among the sectors where the use of alternatives is becoming increasingly feasible.
F-gases currently account for some 2% of EU greenhouse gas emissions. Stabilisation of F-gas emissions at today's levels, without further measures, means that their share could grow substantially in future.
The greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol include three 'families' of fluorinated gases: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorcarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Per tonne, the contribution of individual F-gases to global warming is between 140 and 23,900 times higher2 than that of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas.
F-gases have been increasingly used in a range of industrial applications including air conditioning (HFCs), refrigeration and fire extinguishers (HFCs and PFCs), electronics, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics production (PFCs), and magnesium and aluminium production and high-voltage switches (SF6).
In 2006 two separate legislative acts were adopted with the aim of reversing this trend in order to help the EU and Member States meet their Kyoto Protocol emissions targets.
Directive 2006/EC/40 ("MAC Directive") targets mobile air conditioning, prohibiting use of F-gases with high global warming potentials from 2011.
Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 ("F-gas Regulation") covers certain F-gases in all other applications, focusing on the key stationary applications such as refrigeration and air conditioning. It aims to prevent leaks from equipment containing those gases. Contrary to the MAC Directive, the Regulation includes only a few restrictions on the use of F-gases.

Dove has apologized for a deeply racist ad campaign it ran on Facebook recently.
The ad, showing a black woman becoming white after using the brand's lotion, was heavily criticized after it was posted on Facebook.
The apology though was not accepted by a lot of people, as the ad was deemed too offensive. Many asked how an ad so racist was approved by the brand's marketing team.
What's worse, this isn't the first time the brand is depicting the black skin in that manner. A Twitter user posted a photo of an old ad ran by the brand, with the same underlying message.
