1934 - 1941 World Events
Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Klara's lifetime.
In 1934, in the year that Klara Fridman was born, on June 6th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was formed as a response to the stock market crash of 1929 and the continuing Great Depression. Previously, the states regulated the offering and sales of stocks - called "blue sky" laws. They were largely ineffective. Roosevelt created a group (one member was Joseph Kennedy, father of the future President Kennedy) who knew Wall Street well and they defined the mission and operating mode for the SEC. The new organization had broad and stringent rules and oversight and restored public confidence in the stock market in the United States.
In 1940, by the time she was only 6 years old, on November 5th, President Franklin Roosevelt was elected to a third term, defeating Wendell Willkie of Indiana (a corporate lawyer). Roosevelt running for a third term was controversial. But the U.S. was emerging from the Great Recession and he promised that he would not involve the country in any foreign war (which of course changed when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor). Roosevelt defeated Willkie in the popular vote by 54.7 to 44.8% and in the Electoral College 449 to 82.
In 1941, in the year of Klara Fridman's passing, on December 7th, the Japanese attacked the military base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The surprise aerial attack damaged 8 U.S. battleships (6 later returned to service), including the USS Arizona, and destroyed 188 aircraft. 2,402 American citizens died and 1,178 wounded were wounded. On December 8th, the U.S. declared war on Japan and on December 11th, Germany and Italy (allies of Japan) declared war on the United States. World War II was in full swing.

Cynthia Nims Tackles 'Shellfish' With 50 New Recipes – Loveland Reporter-Herald
How do you write a cookbook? Cynthia Nims has nine to her name, each packed with her own recipes (and she's co-authored many more). Her latest — "Shellfish," just out of Seattle's Sasquatch Books — features 50 new preparations she has come up with that include seven species of mollusks and crustaceans. A graduate of École de Cuisine La Varenne, she is also a former editor of Simply Seafood magazine, former food editor of Seattle magazine and a long-time freelance food writer. But still: where do all the recipes come from?
"Shellfish: 50 Seafood Recipes for Shrimp, Crab, Mussels, Clams, Oysters, Scallops, and Lobster," by Cynthia Nims. (Sasquatch Books/TNS)
The process of writing cookbooks is different for different cookbook writers, of course — Nims recommends the "Everything Cookbooks" podcast for a broader look behind the scenes. Since you're probably curious, some of Nims' favorite cookbooks are "Cool Beans" by Joe Yonan, "Foods of Morocco" by Paula Wolfert, "James Beard's American Cookery", the latest "Joy of Cooking" and "All About Braising ' by Molly Stevens, who is also a part of the 'Everything Cookbooks' podcast.(Nims provided more titles but had to be stopped somewhere!)
Then find Nims' own words about her approach to cooking and cookbook writing (they are different), plus what she calls a "delicious, spring-like" crab-and-asparagus recipe from "Shellfish."
Cynthia Nims on her everyday approach to cooking – when not working on a cookbook:
Ninety-eight percent of the time — rough estimate — when I'm cooking and it's not a recipe test, I'm doing it over the counter. Sometimes it's something I cook often, and it will have minor variations. Other times it's something I haven't cooked before and I just wing it, based on elements of things I've cooked in the past or new ideas I've come across and want to play with. And I refer to many cookbooks in my collection when I'm in a rut or craving something I'm less familiar with.
On how a sample dish came together from a random assortment of ingredients plus the workings of her mind:
My monthly box came Thursday from Hama Hama (Oyster Company) and contained a bag of mussels. I had cauliflower in the fridge, great local bacon in the freezer. I regularly roast cauliflower and have a recipe for roasted clams in the new book – why not combine the two? I put the sliced bacon in a large oblong pan to toast it slightly crispy. I scooped out the bacon and discarded most of the fat, then added chopped cauliflower and garlic to the pan and broiled until lightly browned and mostly tender. Then I added the mussels and roasted them until they opened. It was aromatic and delicious – something I would do again.
Coming up with new combinations of ingredients using different techniques is something I do quite often. It's one of the things I love most about cooking – I'm grateful to have the level of comfort and skill in the kitchen to walk in and just get started. That's why I will never become a great baker, because I can't stop myself from fiddling with formulas and wanting to try something different.
On what happens when it comes to work on a particular cookbook:
Ready meals can inspire what later becomes a concept recipe that I work on, but when developing recipes, I write a concept recipe in full with all ingredients and quantities, detailed instructions, cooking times, etc. I may be guessing some or many of those elements, but that's what recipe testing is for – to verify, adjust and update if necessary.
There's definitely research too – I'm always learning and growing through this process – that's a big part of the fun of recipe work. I could look at six or eight versions of salsa verde and related discussions about the sauce, as a random example, from sources I trust.
The cookbooks I've written have really grown out of just a subject that I'm really drawn to, and — oh god, you know, I want to have a reason to delve into it more. I like the excuse of looking at old archives in the library, calling people and asking questions, and looking up old magazine articles and things like that. I really enjoy finding the background and context that lead to this thing that we've come to love so much.
On her thoughts behind a sample recipe in "Shellfish":
The lobster and artichoke stew is based on a traditional oyster stew, which is often little more than oysters, milk and/or cream and butter. I chose to pair a favorite ingredient of mine, artichokes, with lobster in this easy, slightly creamy soup. With only a handful of ingredients and relatively quick preparation, I hope to convey the wide range of shellfish options for quick, flavorful, interesting recipes. Plus, it's a great showcase for homemade shellfish stock, which I'm a big believer in keeping in the freezer for occasions like this one.
About the recipe testing process:
Well, every recipe has to be tested at least a few times, sometimes three, sometimes four or five – it depends on the amount of tweaking, of editing that needs to be done. That's the meaty part of the cookbook process: making sure you go through the recipes to the point that you're confident they'll be trustworthy to the reader. Oh god – you know, it only takes months and months of time, and a lot of attention to detail. Yes, it is the core of the project.
About having friends test her recipes too:
It's helpful to have someone else's eyes – and the kitchen and ingredients – go over a recipe to confirm it can be followed, and get feedback on an ingredient they might have had trouble finding, or (they) aren't sure about were what this meant – this description or whatever it may be. I may not do it with every recipe, but [it's useful] with recipes that are a little more detailed.
What kinds of things go wrong in the prescription testing process:
Oh god, anything can go wrong (laughs) – or maybe not as intended in my head. If you take something like a sauce, it turns out more liquid than I intended, so that technique has yet to be worked out. Or, sure, the cooking times are adjusted. Or the volume of how many ramekins of something you're going to have so that it actually serves the six people you think it's going to serve. The logistics of "a 9 by 13 pan really isn't big enough" so either reduce the amount or find another pan. Sure, flavor profiles – the balance of ingredients may be a little off. So that all comes out during testing. And sometimes recipes aren't far off, and sometimes it's four or five tests and major adjustments on the way.
Whether she eats the mistakes:
Yes, overall they are still good enough to enjoy.
On what she loves about writing cookbooks:
I really like that creative process – sitting down and sort of dissecting: how do I get from point A to B and get a prescription? And just the freedom to create things, come up with new ideas and play. And not everything is going to work out – there are definitely recipes that didn't make the book.
I'm really going through it all – all the testing, all the rewriting, all the editing – hoping that someone will read this cookbook in their kitchen, get those ingredients and have a great experience – and just have fun with it.
Cynthia Nims' Chilled Crab and Asparagus With Green Onion Aioli
For such a simple presentation like this, with a few star ingredients, it's an ideal time to splurge on lump crab meat, if that's an option. The aioli flavor will be more developed if made an hour or two before serving, but is at its best the same day it is made; see the note (below) for a shortcut alternative. — Cynthia Nims
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup mild olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion, white and light green portions (reserve the dark green tops for serving)
1 1/2 teaspoons minced or crushed garlic
24 asparagus, tough ends removed
12 ounces crab meat
1. For the aioli, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice and mustard in a medium bowl. Start adding the oil a few drops at a time, whisking constantly until the yolk starts to turn pale and thicken slightly, indicating that an emulsion is starting to form. Continue adding the rest of the oil in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly. Whisk in the green onion, garlic and salt. Refrigerate the aioli, covered, until ready to serve.
2. Fill a casserole or large deep frying pan halfway with plenty of salted water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. While the water is heating, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Add the asparagus to the boiling water, reduce heat and simmer until evenly bright green and the tip of a paring knife against the end of one of the larger stalks meets little resistance, 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to transfer the asparagus to the ice water and let them rest until completely cool. Place the cooled asparagus on a clean tea towel to drain.
3. Trim each asparagus spear to a length of 5 to 6 inches, reserving the bottom edge. Return the spears to the tea towel, roll them up in the towel and refrigerate until ready to serve. Thinly slice the trimmed ends and place in a medium bowl. Thinly slice the reserved dark green onion tops and set aside to use for garnish.
4. Swirl the crab meat to remove any bits of shell or gristle and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Add the crab to the bowl with the sliced asparagus and add 1/4 cup aioli. Toss to mix evenly, without breaking the crab pieces too much. There should be just enough aioli to hold the crab and asparagus together; add some more if needed. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to cool and allow the flavors to meld.
5. Before serving, arrange the chilled asparagus side by side on individual plates. Place a mound of the crab mixture in the center of each asparagus and sprinkle over some of the tops of the green onion. Serve immediately, passing extra aioli separately. Serves 4-6.
NOTE: To make a quick aioli, stir green onion, garlic, and salt into 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise. The flavor is best made a few hours in advance, covered and kept refrigerated. It won't be as rich in flavor as homemade, but it's a good alternative.

Leo's Passagen: Will the Jewish silver craft survive in Yemen?
Will the Jewish silver craft survive in Yemen?
Numbers of the once prominent Jewish community in Yemen are dwindling fast. Especially since the revolution, many Jews fled from hostility in the northern province of Sa'ada and Amran. The exact number of Jews left in the country is unknown, but government sources estimate it around 450 people, while Jewish organizations in the United States estimate it at slightly over 100 people.
Of the ancient cultural legacy of Yemeni Jewry, one element has stood the test of time, migration and revolution: The craft of hand-made silver jewelry. Last year in December, Yemeni silversmith Kamal Rubaih and retired American diplomat Marjorie Ransom presented a selection of Yemeni jewelry at the Library of the Congress in Washington, focusing on Jewish designs.
Ransom and Rubaih have collaborated on the book "The Demise of an Ancient Craft", to be published this year by the American University in Cairo Press. The book will deal with jewelry from all of Yemen, with particular attention to the near-forgotten topic of the Jewish silversmith.
In his shop "World Friend" located in the old silver market in Sana'a, Rubaih collects jewelry in both traditional Jewish and Muslim designs. According to Rubaih, from the great variety of traditional jewelry made in Yemen, the most exquisite was done by the Jewish silversmiths in the northern mountains and in the large cities, alongside Muslim jewelry from Tihama, the Hadramaut and Mahra, where Indian influence is strong.
Jewish history in Yemen, as reported by Arab historians from medieval times, goes back to the year 1451 BC, and legends still circulate that they settled in the Arabian Peninsula around the times of King Solomon. What was once a prosperous community, heirs to unique cultural traditions, is today an impoverished and rather marginal group in Yemen's multilayered cultural landscape.
The traditional silver jewelry of the Middle East – including Turkey and Iran – has been largely replaced by gold jewelry, much of it imported and not handcrafted. The larger repertory of styles and techniques in Middle Eastern silver jewelry – casting, chasing, embossing, repousse, filigree and granulation among others – have been left mostly to the work of a few specialized artisans.
It is said that until the 1960's, it was a deep-seated tradition for Muslims to give a bridal dowry in Jewish jewelry. At the once thriving silver market in Sana'a just 30 years ago both Jewish and Muslim silversmiths worked alongside each other. However, the ancient Jewish craft has declined progressively in the last decade as more and more Jews left the country or abandoned the craft. On the Muslim side, only a few silversmiths remain, but a few are attempting to rejuvenate the traditional Jewish style.
According to Rubaih, Yemeni brides these days prefer to wear gold over silver. Thus, only a few silversmiths continue to work in a trade that caters predominantly to tourists, many of whom have been chased away by constant unrest and Yemen's deteriorating economic situation.
Yet, it turns out that there are younger artisans, offspring of the elderly Jewish silversmiths, who are trained in the craft. They would like to take it up, if it were only possible to make a living with it.
Unless there is an effort on the part of the Yemeni government to support traditional craftsmen familiar with Jewish silversmithing, as well as other artisans working with traditional crafts—weaving, embroidery, pottery and the like—Rubaih insists that it is very likely that they will soon disappear and with them, an ancient heritage spanning sometimes into thousands of years.


"Don't risk your life with a barbecue inside your tent or caravan" – Lynn Griffiths.
Lynn Griffiths, founder of the charity Carbon Monoxide Awareness, is calling for manufacturers of barbecue grills to put warning notices about the danger of carbon monoxide on them to stop the public from taking them into tents caravan or campervan.
The warning follows several recent tragedies in which campers have lost their lives after taking lit barbecues into tents or caravans for warmth. Carbon monoxide (CO) is difficult to detect because it is colourless and has no taste or smell. People often don't realise that they are being overcome by fumes until it is too late.
Lynn held a meeting to discuss carbon monoxide safety during caravan, camping, or music festival holiday breaks. The charity is already working fire and rescue after several incidents in last year. Another meeting is being planned for June 2012.
Lynn is keen to take the "Be Carbon monoxide Aware Camping and Caravan Sites Register" national due to more and more incident being reported. Lynn says that with the support of local and national press and media she can do this.
A lit or smouldering barbecue should never be taken into a tent, caravan or campervan.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) powered appliances should be serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified to work with LPG.
Solid fuel appliances should be serviced by a solid fuel HETAS registered engineer.
Oil fuelled appliances should be serviced by an OFTEC registered engineer.
For their personal safety, holiday-makers should buy an audible carbon monoxide alarm that meets British or European Standards (EN 50291).

Northwestern U. prof trashes journalist for taking wait and see approach to police shooting
Dave Huber - Associate Editor •June 20, 2021
Share this article: The College Fix on Facebook The College Fix on Twitter The College Fix on Reddit The College Fix on Parler Share on Email
A professor at Northwestern University accused a journalist of abetting the murder of children — because he dared to ask people to wait until all the facts came out about the police shooting of a teenage boy.
The Chicago Tribune's Eric Zorn wrote back in April that, prior to the release of police bodycam footage, it "was still too soon to draw conclusions" about the killing of Adam Toledo, a 13-year-old Latino boy.
One might surmise such advice is pretty logical (not to mention wise); however, as he notes in a June 18 column, Zorn "found [him]self at the bottom of a Twitter dogpile" for his words.
"Among those particularly indignant," Zorn writes, was Steven Thrasher, the "inaugural Daniel H. Renberg Chair of social justice in reporting" at Northwestern. Thrasher had tweeted "there is no space in a newspaper for arguing for the murder of a child, and that it's 'never too early' to think they are worthy of murder."
I am cancelling my subscription to the Tribune.
Yes, I do think there is no space in a newspaper for arguing for the murder of a child, and that it's "never to early" to think they are worthy of murder.
You're canceled, Trib. https://t.co/klO4xuASEa
— Dr. Steven W. Thrasher (@thrasherxy) April 7, 2021
A week later, Thrasher complained the Tribune had the audacity to not respond to his email regarding his cancellation, noting he is a professor of journalism at a school established 100 years ago via a donation from the-then Tribune publisher.
"When you tweet 'it's never too early to stop pretending that 13-year-olds are inherently harmless,' you are not only putting a target on the backs of children," Thrasher wrote to the Tribune. "You are killing a bit of the humanity of all of your readers, the people of Chicago and the children of the world."
This point is crucial: @EricZorn's racism hurt the Tribune's reporting, lost his paper at least one subscriber (👋🏾) and set back trust of reporters through tour Chicago at all publications pic.twitter.com/xTOkzZSn89
— Dr. Steven W. Thrasher (@thrasherxy) April 19, 2021
Zorn notes he personally reached out to Thrasher a month after the social media imbroglio to inform him that the prof had twisted his words, but to also ask if he'd be up for "a more nuanced exchange by email." Thrasher refused.

"Your words make the murder of children more likely, and I have no interest in you, your unethical nature, your cynical worldview, or in communicating with you," Thrasher replied.
As a professor of journalism, Thrasher should understand Zorn's position: that "one of the jobs of a journalist is to question and challenge emerging narratives and conventional wisdom, to be clear about what we know for sure and what we suspect."
Thankfully, Zorn's bosses at the Tribune had his back. "But imagine the paralyzing effect the prospect of seemingly mass indignation has on those without an institution behind them," Zorn says. "For them, it's far safer to say nothing or simply to nod in ovine assent to the orthodoxies of the extremely online."
In a bit of irony, Zorn came out in defense of the Loyola University Chicago student paper last year after it faced an angry, politically correct mob due to publishing activists' names and videos from (public) protests. That paper, The Phoenix, held firm and refused activists' demands. Zorn contrasted The Phoenix's actions to that of … Northwestern's The Daily Northwestern, which a year earlier had caved to activists' demands to take down student protest photos. Several Daily journalists at the time studied at the Medill School of Journalism — where Professor Thrasher teaches.
Thrasher's reaction to Zorn should not be that surprising; last year in Slate he argued that the "destruction of a police precinct is not only a tactically reasonable response to the crisis of policing, it is a quintessentially American response, and a predictable one."
Thrasher also is a supporter of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, and was a critic of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

Being not that famous in the world where Boracay is the star, Bataan actually have the beaches that rival the nearby provinces such as Batangas and La Union, it also has the mountain trails that can parr with Zambales', and lastly the sea waves that can match to Baler's.
This place is almost akin to the ruins of Charleston in South Carolina, although Mount Samat was converted into a shrine, all the ruins and memorabilia of the second world war are very much present in this shrine. It became the symbol of the commemoration of the Valor Day or Araw ng Kagitingan or as for the locals, the Bataan day. Climbing the mountain is not that hard but is highly rewarding with the giant cross on the top which you could actually climb.
Bataan might come as an archaic and time-honored province, it has its own way of charming the tourists and even its citizens to fall in love with it. Its capital, Balanga City is quite the epitome of the modern and old world. The plaza is more beautiful and alive at night, with a spectacle of lights and dancing fountains.
Chasing Waterfalls is one activity to do in Bataan and for those exploring Bataan's great outdoor experience, Pasukulan Falls has a majestic sight, with pristine waters cascading from almost 200 feet above and into a serene pool.
This amazing restaurant opened in the 90s, after the refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia sought temporary shelter in Bataan's Philippines Refugee Processing Center. Two decades later, the refugees have long gone, yet this chapter in the world history lives on through this humble place. Try the Vietnamese noodle soup, hu tieu, and their special take on the banh mi.
In the small village called Tala in Orani, is a majestic escape by the mountains. Vista Tala Resort and Recreational Park is a mountainside resort, decked with villas and a beautiful cliffside pool overlooking a view of lush mountains and trees.
Stella Mariz Resort lets you be one with nature. Away from the bustle of the city, simple cottages, picnic tables, and pine trees adorn the beach, instead of concrete, plush hotels and villas.Bask in the warm sun and sand between your toes, set up camp by the beach and spend your nights by the shore. Conversations with friends by the campfire, while listening to the crashing waves and lying under the stars? You bet.
Of course, one does not leave Bataan without visiting the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a heritage resort that's just a marvelous sight by itself, with opulent Spanish-era houses, cobblestone streets and a majestic canal, all perched by the sea. Las Casas has been a popular setting for period films and television shows in recent years, such as GMA-7's Zorro, the sleeper hit Heneral Luna, and Lav Diaz' 8-hour film Hele Sa Hiwagang Hapis. Book a night at their heritage house, take a dip in the sea as a calesa strides by. It's just like being transported back in time.

A general guide to ship manager's undertakings
A general guide to ship manager's undertakings (91 kB)
ITIC is often asked by ship managers to comment on the wording of a "ship manager undertaking" or "letter of undertaking" (LOU) which they have been asked to sign. This is a situation which has become more relevant in the current financial markets.
A ship manager's undertaking is usually a document provided by a bank or other lender or financial institution (although we will simply use the term "the Bank" for the remainder of this article), but usually written in the guise of an LOU from the ship manager to the Bank which states that in consideration for remaining as (or being appointed as) the manager of the vessel, the ship manager will undertake that:
(a) any and all claims the manager may have in respect of the vessel against third parties shall rank second to the claims of the Bank;
(b) any and all claims the manager may have against the vessel's insurers will also be subordinate to the claims of the Bank;
(c) the manager will forego their right to bring a claim (or obtain security) against the vessel or the Owner for any funds they are owed; and
(d) that the ship management agreement will not be amended during the term of the loan the Bank is providing to the Owner.
Clearly the manager must take care when being asked to sign these documents.
It must always be remembered that the original ship management agreement (usually subject to a BIMCO Shipman 98 or 2009) is with the Owner and they remain the manager's principal. Therefore, the ship manager must not agree to any LOU unless the manager has the Owner's full permission to do so – as some of the terms within the LOU can be contrary to the interests of the Owner. It is always sensible to have the LOU countersigned by the Owner if the manager can arrange it. Failing this, the manager should obtain the owner's written permission to sign it.
ITIC would not recommend that the manager signs any LOU which includes multiple parties as they can become confusing and contain many provisions that do not relate to the manager. The LOU is an agreement between the manager and the Bank and should remain that way. However, this should not stop the manager having the owner sign the document to show that they have given permission for the manager to enter into the LOU.
If the LOU substantially alters the ship management agreement, the manager may need to consult with their professional indemnity insurer, as most covers are based on the management being "on terms no more onerous than those of BIMCO "Shipman 98" or "Shipman 2009" form unless otherwise agreed by the insurer. Also, the manager may be concerned as to how their professional indemnity insurance would be affected by them signing an LOU. The general answer is that there would be no effect, as the cover is there in the event that the manager's negligent performance of the insured service leads to or causes a loss to a third party. What is most important about the signing of an LOU is that the manager is giving up their right to recover funds that may be owed to them.
ITIC have an e-learning video looking in more depth at the specific points, which ship managers should be wary of.

MP PROPOSES NEW CLIMATE CHANGE PAYMENT TO BOOST FARMERS AND PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT
Originally published by Tim Farron
Speaking on the floor of the House of Commons yesterday evening, local MP Tim Farron proposed a ground breaking initiative that would boost farm incomes and help the battle against climate change.
Mr Farron's proposal would see large corporations offset their carbon emissions by paying farmers through a formal agricultural carbon trading scheme to invest in carbon capture. The maintenance and extension of peatland, woodland and other 'carbon sinks' would help to capture greenhouse gases. Already, farmers are at the forefront of the fight against climate change through their work maintaining the countryside. Mr Farron believes that its time to reward farmers for this work and give them opportunities to increase their income.
Many large companies fail to meet their carbon reduction targets and this would be a way of encouraging them to do so while ensuring that additional funds go into agriculture. These funds would have the advantage of not being tied up with the common agricultural policy, which means that we would have more freedom over how much people receive.
Speaking after the debate, Mr Farron said: "In maintaining our countryside, farmers already lead the way in tackling climate change - but they are not rewarded for this work. The new scheme would ensure that farmers receive fair pay for this work, but it would also give them the opportunity to step up their work on developing carbon sequestration which would both help in the fight against climate change and bring much needed funds into the farming industry."

Sayyid ul Sadaat Mir Sayyid Mahmud Saheb Agha ibn Mir Hasan Naqshbandi (died 1882) was a Sufi saint and direct descendant of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. He was the brother of Sayyid Mir Jan and acted under him as Grand Master of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order.

Biography
Before joining his brother Sayyid Mir Jan, he was a powerful statesman and Naqib al-Ashraf in the Emirate of Afghanistan as young leader in the young age of twenty years. Together with his brother Sayyid Mir Jan, he has revived the culture of Hazrat Ishaan, after it was closely forgotten, due to the tragic martyrdom of his relative Hazrat Ishaan V, Mir Sayyid Kamaludeen Shaheed.

Ancestry
Sayyid Mahmud Agha is a Sayyid (a descendant of Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and his cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib), both maternally and paternally.  Among his paternal ancestors are seven of the Twelve Imams, and among his maternal ancestors were eleven of the Twelve Imams, Sayyid Bahauddin Naqshband, Sayyid Alauddin Atar, and Khwaja Khawand Mahmud (also known as Hazrat Ishaan) also. After the Battle of Karbala, the Ahl al-Bayt went back to Medina. From there Musa al Kazim was forced to go to Iraq. The Musavis, i.e. the descendants of Musa al Kadhim, settled to Persia. One of them was Khwaja Sayyid Mir Ismail Muhammad Hakim, father of Khwaja Sayyid Mir Latif, an ancestor of Hazrat Sayyid Mahmud Agha. The descendants of Sayyid Mir Latif immigrated to Bokhara and after that to Kabul, where Sayyid Mahmud Agha was born. His paternal family were and are still known as Naqib al-Ashraf of the Sunnis of Greater Iran. Sayyid Mahmud Agha's maternal ancestors were Askari Sayyids, i.e. descendants of Imam Hasan al-Askari, through his son Sayyid Ali Akbar, whose existence was hidden, because of political conflicts. Sayyid Ali Akbar's descendants also migrated to Bokhara, where the prominent Sufi saint Bahauddin Naqshband, founder of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, was born. A descendant of Bahauddin Naqshband after 7 generations was Hazrat Ishaan, whose descendants later immigrated to variable regions of South Asia, like Khorasan, today known as Afghanistan in order to spread the Ishaqiyya Naqshbandiyya branch's teachings.

رو در صف دوستان ما باش و مترس
Be on the side of our friends and have no fear

خاک راه آستان ما باش و مترس
Be dust on the way of our legacy and have no fear

گر جمله جهان قصد اوجود تو کند
Even when the whole world is standing against you

دل فارغ دار از آن ما باش و مترس
Have a pure heart and stay with us and have no fear

ما در کشانتان هستیم در کوه و دره
We are guarding you in mountains and valleys

انجا که شیر و پلنگ و هشدار گذرد
Where lions, tigers and hyenas are around

پیران قوی دارم و مردان سره
I have strong saints and high men by my side

هر کس که به ما کج نگرد جان نبره
Every one who looks crooked at us will bear no life

رو در صف دوستان ما باش و مترس
Be on the side of our friends and have no fear

خاک راه آستا ما باش و مترس
Be dust on the way of our legacy and have no fear

Veneration
Sayyid Mahmud Agha was a very open-minded person, who attracted people of various religions. The members of major religious groups in Lahore ascribed to him divine powers and attributes, which eventually let him convert his Non-Muslim followers to Islam.

Legacy
Sayyid Mahmud Agha Shah Saheb died in Lahore as a young man in his twenties and is buried on the left of the future grave of Sayyid Mir Jan. In his mausoleum in Begampura, Lahore. On the occasion of his death there was a violent clash between his followers of various religions, who attributed to him saintship of their own respective religion.
His Muslim followers encompassed both Sunnis and Shiites, whereas his Hindu followers in Lahore even attributed to him the rank of the reincarnation of Krishna. Furthermore, he was considered a Guru by contemporary Sikhs in Lahore, although Sayyid Mahmud Agha was no Hindu or Sikh, staying to his values as a conservative Muslim.
Eventually his older brother Sayyid Mir Jan has mediated and calmed down the mob, making a conclusion to bury him in an Islamic manner in the Mausoleum of Hazrat Ishaan, converting the Non-Muslim followers peacefully and passionately to Islam. His death anniversary is commemorated with short prayers called Zikr. It is  known as the day, in which a Wali died in deep love.

His followers call him Nooron ala Noor or "the manifest of the light of Prophet Muhammad"

His brother Sayyid Mir Jan
He is known for his unlimited love and loyalty to his older brother and master Sayyid Mir Jan. He reportedly resembled Muhammad and Ali.

Legacy
In honor Hazrat Ishaan, Dakik Family also known as the House of Hazrat Ishaan are continuing his legacy.

OTTAWA, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- The China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe won thunderous applause with a show here Wednesday night six years after its first performance in the Canadian capital.
Through its music and dance performances of both traditional Chinese and Western style in the Algonquin Theater, the troupe has conveyed to the audience the importance of dignity, respect and inclusiveness.
The performance started with "My Dream," a music and dance show comprising a namesake dance by hearing-impaired ballerinas and a poem demonstrated in sign language, and ended with the "Thousand-hand Bodhisattva" dance, which lifted the atmosphere to a climax.
"My dream" and "Thousand-hand Bodhisattva" have become two of the troupe's best-known cultural brands.
Many spectators said the artists are surprisingly excellent and they presented to the people in Canada the beauty of arts as well as the light of human nature.
Founded in 1987, the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe has performed in more than 100 countries and regions.
Ottawa is the last leg of the troupe's Canada tour, which has taken it to Toronto and Montreal.


Many years ago, I stood in the kitchen at Casa Vietti and watched Nonna make gnocchi. She told me the recipe, and showed me how to do it, but I never did. I recentky grew my own Sage plant and since I don't really like sage, I decided that I would try to make Gnocchi for my dad, since he loves Gnocchi with butter and sage. Here's how it went!
Once that is done, place it in the boiling water and let it boil for a few minutes (until they float). Take them out of the water (if you want, put them in an ice bath) and let them dry.
Now, for the butter and sage: all you have to do is place a ton of butter and sage in a pan, melt the butter and stir in the sage. Place the gnocchi in the pan, mix it up and serve!
The results were pretty good! There was some disagreement on how well they were cooked, but overall I would call my first attempt a success!! Let me know if you try it!

Rahul Sharma (born 20 July 1987) is an Indian cricketer. He is primarily a right-handed legbreak and googly bowler. He has been a member of the Punjab cricket team since 2006. He came into the limelight due to his impressive bowling performances in IPL 2011 for Pune Warriors.

Early career
Rahul started as a medium pacer but soon turned to leg spin on his coach. He made his debut in first class cricket on 25 December 2006 for Punjab against Rajasthan, but had to wait till 2009 to play again. In 2009–10 season of the Ranji Trophy, he took 13 wickets in seven first class games. Rahul played only one Ranji match in the 2010–11 season.

Indian Premier League

In 2010, Rahul Sharma made his IPL debut for Deccan Chargers. He took just five wickets and went at 8.08 an over in the six matches he played for Deccan Chargers. In the 2011 IPL, Rahul Sharma made a name for himself with some good bowling performances for Pune Warriors. His figures of 4-0-7-2 against Mumbai Indians were the most economical of 2011 Indian Premier League and the performance created enough of a buzz to see his name trend on Twitter in India. In 2015 rahul sharma was bought by Chennai Super kings in the ipl8 auction.

International career
On 8 December 2011, Rahul made his ODI debut for India in the 4th ODI against the West Indies and took three wickets. All three batsmen were bowled. In the same match Virender Sehwag set a new record(219) for the highest score in ODIs.

News Round-Up: Autism Bill, New Research, and Google Glass
Although we're only two-and-a-half months deep into 2015, each week seems to bring forth some incredible new insight into possible causes and cures for autism or advancement for individuals who are living with autism. This past week brought us so much varied news, we decided to group it all together to keep you up to date on the most recent and relevant news on autism and society.
Firstly, in looking at the most up-to-date research and discoveries, two recent studies have shed great insight into both treating and better understanding those with ASD. Firstly, in looking at recent genetic research, a study conducted in England and Wales further pushed forward the thesis that genetics might play the biggest role in causing autism.
In a study quite similar to one we covered a couple of weeks back, researchers looked at all twins born in England and Wales between 1994 and 1996 and discovered that autism is rooted in genetics 74 to 98 percent of the time. According to Beata Tick of King's College London, who was the lead author of the study, "Our main finding was that the heritability of ASD was high. These results further demonstrate the importance of genetic effects on ASD, despite the dramatic increase in prevalence of the disorder over the last 20 years."
By looking at over 6,000 pairs of twins that split the difference between identical and fraternal, researchers found that if one twin had autism, the risk that the other would be on the spectrum was significantly higher in identical twins who share DNA.
In other research news, scientists have achieved a greater understanding of the brain's cerebellum, which in turn could lead to new treatments for people with problems caused by autism, strokes, and schizophrenia. According to Jeremy Schmahmann, growing evidence indicates that symptoms ranging from difficulty with abstract thinking to psychosis, all have links to the cerebellum, which in turn has a whole new slate of functions that researchers were previously unaware of.
While in the past, scientists have largely believed that the cerebellum's role was limited to balance and coordination, that definition has rapidly expanded as evidence indicated that it also plays a role in cognition and emotions. What scientists are now learning about the cerebellum could play a huge role in helping people with brain disorders, especially as growing evidence points to the cerebellum being involved in the development of autism.
In legislative news, Mississippi appears poised to join a growing number of states that require health insurance plans to cover autism diagnosis and treatment as the state legislature recently sent House Bill 885 to Republican governor Phil Bryant, who is expected to sign the measure. As the average policy holder will experience a 32-cent increase in health costs due to autism, this bill will help many families to provide their children with the treatment and support they need, support that was previously not covered by the majority of insurance plans.
Finally, Ned Sahin, an entrepreneur based in Cambridge, recently founded BrainPower, which is a startup that looks to use Google Glass to teach children with autism how to better engage and socialize with people. As such, the company is developing applications that display images of popular cartoon characters to a child when an adult is talking to her or him with the intention of drawing children's attention to faces. As Sahin put it, "We are designing tools to coach children…to make eye contact, increase connection to those around them, and unleash the potential of the brain."
As exciting of a week as it has been, with the way this year has been going, it looks like the coming months only hold greater promise for advancement in autism treatments and research.


At its best, turkey is a tasty meal that can feed your entire extended family, and look good doing it. But in the wrong hands, turkey is an overly dry bird that your family is going to have to pretend is delicious as they douse it in more and more gravy to help it go down.
One mistake most people make is roasting a turkey whole – sure, it makes for an Instagram-worthy, nostalgia-inducing centerpiece. But chances are, it's going to be dry. The solution? Salting it and roasting the light meat and dark meat separately.
Salting provides the benefits of brining in a very simple step. The dark meat can be fully cooked a day ahead, providing drippings for a beautiful golden turkey stock. The breast meat can be salted a day ahead and cooked in less time, providing juicy meat to be carved just prior to serving.
This is a fairly simple process that guarantees flavorful, hot, moist turkey breast, and gold roasted turkey stock for gravy and stuffing. Preparing the turkey this way also eliminates the pressure of carving the unwieldy bird at the table with everyone watching. Most importantly, you'll experience a stress-free holiday meal.
Grind rosemary and peppercorns in a coarse stone mortar until fine. Add salt and grind lightly to combine. Add sage, thyme and lemon zest, and combine.
Preheat oven to 350ºF and position one oven rack just below the center of the oven.
Remove neck, heart and gizzards from turkey.
Separate the dark meat (thighs and legs) from the breast meat cavity to roast the dark meat a day prior to serving while the breast meat is salted and held overnight to be cooked just prior to serving. With a sharp knife cut between each leg and the breast cavity. Set the knife down and reach under the turkey, lifting the backbone up until it breaks between the dark meat and breast meat cavities. Turn the turkey on its side and cut through the back bone at the break to separate both halves. Remove the second and third joint of the wings.
Rinse turkey breast and leave wet. Rub the salt mixture on the inside and outside of the breast cavity, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Spread half the vegetables and lemon on the bottom of a medium sized roasting pan. Rest the turkey hind quarters (dark meat), neck, wings, heart and gizzards on the bed of vegetables. Rub with butter and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add small amounts of water or chicken stock to the pan to avoid burning and baste with the liquid from the pan and rub with butter every 30 to 40 minutes. Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reads 165ºF.
Once cooked, cool the turkey until it can be handled. Pull all the meat and skin from the bones (reserve bones, neck, wings, heart and gizzard) and place in a shallow baking pan with the skin on top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Place reserved bones, back in the pan with the neck, wings, heart, gizzard and vegetables, and return to the oven. Once nicely browned, transfer to a pot, cover with 8 to 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Heat pan with drippings over a medium flame and use some of the liquid to deglaze the pan, reduce liquid and pour into pot. Simmer for two hours, strain and reduce by half. Reserve stock (approximately 6 cups) for gravy and stuffing.
ON THE DAY OF SERVICE: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Remove salted turkey breast from refrigerator and rinse salt mixture from the inside and outside of the turkey. Pat dry, rub with melted butter and place in a medium sized roasting pan on a layer of the remaining vegetables and lemon.
Add small amounts of water or chicken stock to the pan to avoid burning. Baste with the liquid from the pan and rub with butter every 30 to 40 minutes.
When turkey is about 45 minutes from being cooked (at about 145 or 150ºF) place the pan of dark meat in the oven uncovered and pour 1/4 cup of stock over meat.
When turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF, remove from oven, cover to keep warm and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
With a sharp knife cut each breast away from the carcass and cover with foil to keep warm. Pull all remaining meat from the carcass and place on serving platter. Remove dark meat covered with skin from pan and place on cutting board. Cut 1 1/2-inch slices through skin and meat and transfer to serving platter. Slice the breast meat in 1/4-inch slices and transfer to serving platter. Heat remaining stock to a boil and drizzle 1/4 cup over turkey just prior to serving.


Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is held on Thursdays from Labor Day to Memorial Day from 12 noon until 7:30 p.m. Adoration is the worship of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is exposed in a monstrance on the altar, allowing us spend time in prayer with the Real Presence of Jesus.
Adoration of our Lord in the Eucharist is a chance to know Jesus better through prayer and adoration, and to allow our relationship with Jesus to grow. We hope that you will consider making Adoration a part of your week.
During the time that the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, we must have adorers present. Most people typically spend an hour in adoration. We need two people per hour so that in the event of one person not being able to attend the other can cover. If you can commit to a particular hour each week, please call the Parish Office at 860-684-2705.
Those who cannot commit to a specific hour each week are encouraged to drop-in and spend whatever time may be possible with our Lord.

Diving Into Cancer Metabolism: Is It Possible To Starve Cancer?
Cancer metabolism is the process of how cancer cells process nutrients and use them for energy. It is well known that cancer metabolism is a deviation from normal cell metabolism. When becoming cancerous, cells switch their metabolism from a normal utilization of glucose and fats (glucose and fatty acid oxidation) to an abnormal, less efficient but more rapid, utilization of glucose.
Glycolysis in itself doesn't cause cancer per se, but it is a necessary consequence (i.e. necessary for cancer to develop). For example, our immune cells, red blood cells, cells lining the gut, and fast twitch muscle fibers, are all glycolytic, and they aren't cancerous. They are glycolytic in order to rapidly proliferate (immune cells in response to infection, or gut cells to continuously be an effective barrier in the stomach), or in order to provide rapid energy when oxygen isn't available in an adequate amount of time (e.g. sprinting or high intensity exercise which requires rapid energy where you aren't able to get oxygen to the cells to make energy in such a short time frame).
Cancer cells want to reproduce and grow, and to avoid death. Glycolysis is therefore a mechanism to provide energy in a rapid enough manner in order to proliferate quickly, as well as provide building blocks for its new cells (this is called glutaminolysis, which is a pathway that is activated in parallel with glycolysis in cancer).
Approximately 95% of cancer is caused by epigenetic factors (i.e. your environment). Of this, ~35% is due to diet. To me, this is a huge sign. If diet can induce cancer than diet can potentially cure cancer.
It is well known that you can alter your metabolism based on the foods you eat. For example, a high carbohydrate diet will result in chronic insulin release which promotes fat storage at the expense of fat utilization. This has all sorts of signaling consequences. For example, chronically elevated levels of insulin thus can lead to "insulin resistance" and thus metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and other potential conditions such as heart disease (and as I'll make the case, potentially cancer). In essence, you switch your body to rely primarily on glucose, as opposed to fat. And this has consequences.
Your body needs a certain amount of stress in order to operate efficiently, and to survive and grow. Sometimes this is referred to as hormesis. Think of exercising. Our muscles grow stronger when we "stress" them. We are, what renowned statistician Nassim Taleb refers to as, "antifragile". We are the opposite of fragile. We grow when we are exposed to stress (in reasonable amounts). This is present in virtually every aspect of our body. A small amount of "stress" is good: and let me clarify, I'm referring to acute stress, not chronic stress. Chronic stress is a recipe for disaster (you wouldn't lift weights 24/7 would you? Your muscles couldn't handle it…).
Even our cells need some stress to ensure proper functioning. On a cellular level, there is a communication pathway (a signaling pathway) that actively works to prevent tumor formation. On the one hand, it is activated by mechanisms not yet understood (the regulation of the cell "skeleton" and others), but what we do know is that it is also regulated by the body's "energy gauge". When we experience some metabolic stress (from lack of sugar), this pathway is active and works properly. When we are "full", this pathway is suppressed, which leads to the expression of cancer genes (oncogenes), and the initiation of cancer metabolism.
As with all things, both too much and too little energy might not be a good thing (for example, too much energy is a good thing for fighting infections, since your immune cells need energy to combat the infection). But, as described above, it appears they aren't equal: too much energy might be more harmful than too little energy, at least in the context of cancer development and cancer metabolism.
Thus, if sugar consumption is not beneficial because it leads to a consistent state of "being full", with "too much" energy, then perhaps this suggests that we need to take a break every now and then from the consumption of sugar. In essence, we need a little bit of metabolic "stress". For example, perhaps switching to a low carb diet (such as the Paleo Diet or the Ketogenic diet), fasting, or switching the fuel source of the body to a substance that does not elevate insulin, such as ketones,2 may be beneficial.
Furthermore, evidence exists that lowering blood glucose may be beneficial as a cancer therapy. Type II diabetes patients, taking medications (specifically, metformin) to reduce blood glucose, generally get less cancer. Additionally, animal models on a caloric restricted diet also appears to improve cancer outcomes (since a primary component diets are glucose, caloric restricted diets are lower in glucose).
Of course, this is somewhat simplistic, and there are many factors. For example, there are a small amount of cancers that actually become more aggressive when "starved". But what is exciting is that all this scientific evidence is pointing in the direction that dietary intervention may be able to cure or at the very least ameliorate symptoms of diseases like cancer.
Glycolysis is usually activated when there is low oxygen (since normal glucose oxidation requires oxygen to be present to make energy): either there is low oxygen in the environment (hypoxia), or oxygen isn't able to diffuse to the tissues in a fast enough manner (the sprinter example as mentioned above). What's odd is that, in cancer, this switch to glycolysis occurs even when there is adequate oxygen present.
There is very promising research by Dr. Dominic D'Agostino utilizing ketones and hyperbaric oxygen as cancer therapy to starve cancer. Ketones are a favorable energy source for cells in the body, because no energy is required to extract energy. In normal glucose utilizing cells, energy has to be used to breakdown the sugar in order to extract more energy. Cells actually preferentially utilize ketones when both glucose and ketones are present in the bloodstream. Ketones are the products of beta-oxidation of fatty acids. They are the primary fuel of the brain during starvation. What's more interesting? Cancer cells can't be fueled by ketones.

Two things I want to talk about and get your views on following our 1-0 win of Hull.
There seems to be a pattern against the bottom teams, we seem to win 1-0 with a Soldado penalty, we can't go on winning like this. We have to break teams down better than we are doing, it's painful to watch at times. I prefered the 0-0 draw we had with Hull back in 2010 because at least we made the keeper play a blinder and I wasn't worried because we played really well.
Our team may still need to gel and even AVB doesn't know his best starting XI. Soldado is a good striker but in this system was he really the right buy? Can he play the forward role on his own or was that big target man crucial?
The second point is that AVB picked up on the negative atmosphere around WHL. I have to agree somewhat, it's not the same noisy WHL I am used to. I don't know if that was because it was only Hull and the fans wasn't really that motivated. I saw some fans hit back by saying that the negative system is filtering through to the fans and they too are becoming negative in our support.
Is AVB right? Does White Hart Lane need a lift in support or does AVB need to be more adventurous in his tactics? I think a bit of both. Against the bottom teams especially at home I would like to see two strikers or at the very least play an extra attacking / creative midfielder instead of two holding midfielders as we have a good enough defence to cope with the odd attack. I hate to say it but Arsenal do it right, they go to attack and we should too, we have the players there to do it but not always the formation and desire in some matches.
Totally Baffled…… Just for the record….

Officer Involved Shooting - February 8, 2021
Early this morning, February 8th, 2021, an Idaho Falls Police Officer was involved in an officer-involved shooting. One person, an adult male, is deceased. No one else sustained any injuries in the incident.
The Idaho Falls Police Department defines Officer-Involved Shootings as any incident where, in the course of their duties, an Officer discharges their service weapon resulting in the death or injury of another person. As is standard protocol for any Officer-Involved Shooting, we immediately activated the Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Task Force (CITF) which responded to the scene to conduct the investigation.
This task force has been established for many years and is designed to allow a thorough and expert investigation into the incident to occur, and also ensures that investigation is independent from the involved agency. Investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies typically participate in each investigation with one agency acting as the lead investigative agency. In this case, the Idaho State Police will serve as the lead investigator.
For incidents that happen in Idaho Falls involving an IFPD officer, IFPD will fully cooperate in these investigations, but we will normally not participate in or conduct any part of the investigation. In this case, the CITF did request the use of an IFPD FARO scanner to document the scene. The FARO scanner provides a 3D reconstruction of the scene and can be an incredibly useful tool in investigations. Only a very few agencies in Idaho currently have a FARO scanner, and there was not another available for the CITF investigation.
Under the direction and supervision of the CITF, an Idaho Falls Police Officer trained to operate the FARO device did conduct a 3D scan of the scene which is being provided to the CITF. The use of this scanner is the extent of our involvement in this investigation.
The CITY is actively working to conduct the investigation into this incident. Because IFPD is not involved in the investigation, the Idaho Falls Police Department is not able to say how long this investigation will take. It may take several weeks, but it may be longer.
Once the CITF investigation is completed, the case and results will be sent to the Bonneville County Prosecutor. The Prosecutor will review the case and make a determination regarding whether the shooting was legally justified. This is the same process they follow in criminal cases that are brought to them by law enforcement.
Separate from the Prosecutor's process, IFPD will also conduct an internal affairs investigation of the incident once the CITF investigation is complete. The purpose of the IFPD internal investigation following an Officer-Involved Shooting is to determine whether departmental policies and procedures were followed, and if the department standard to discharge the service weapon was met.
As a part of that process, the department will impanel a Use of Force Review Board which is made up of department personnel and community members. Two community members were recently appointed to the Use of Force Review Board, and a third will be appointed in the coming weeks. This appointment was made by Chief of Police Bryce Johnson and confirmed by the Idaho Falls Mayor and City Council.
This Use of Force Review Board will review all of the information regarding the incident. The Board will then make a recommendation to the Chief of Police as to whether department policies were followed. This board may also make other recommendations regarding department training and policies.
The Chief of Police will then make a final determination regarding whether or not the shooting occurred within the bounds of IFPD policy, if the department had provided the correct training, and if any changes or disciplinary actions are appropriate. Again, this process and resulting internal decisions are separate from any decision made through the Prosecutorial review.
The entire process—all phases combined--can take several weeks or several months. It is designed and intended to be very thorough and independent in each stage. It allows for multiple diverse, but informed perspectives. It is typically at the conclusion of all phases that IFPD and/or the Prosecutor may consider it appropriate to release any reports and/or videos of the incident or make additional public statements about the findings of the two investigations and any subsequent actions. This is the trajectory the Idaho Falls Police Department intends to follow in the coming weeks.
"The Idaho Falls Police Department has core values, one of those values being integrity," said Idaho Falls Police Chief Bryce Johnson. "As we define integrity it means being honest and truthful at all times, even when the truths we have to tell may be difficult. Today, the truths we have to share with the community are difficult and incredibly tragic."
The information shared at this time is not intended to assign blame, or to necessarily explain what occurred. There are outstanding questions to which answers are not currently available. There is still an investigation to be done that, as explained above, will not be conducted by the Idaho Falls Police Department in order to ensure that the investigation is fair and impartial. The information below is the information IFPD believes to be factually accurate at this time.
Shortly after midnight, a Bonneville County Sheriff's Deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a vehicle traveling on 1st Street in Idaho Falls. The vehicle came to a stop on the corner of Lincoln Drive just off of 1st Street and an occupant of the vehicle fled on foot into a residential neighborhood. The Deputy who initiated the stop broadcasted the direction the suspect had fled and a description of the suspect's clothing – which included a black shirt.
A number of Idaho Falls Police Officers and Bonneville County Sheriff's Deputies entered the neighborhood to search for the suspect male. While searching the area, a resident on Holbrook told police officers that they had seen the suspect run through their yard and that they believed the suspect had a gun. The officer who spoke with the resident broadcasted the information to the other law enforcement personnel in the area searching for the suspect.
Also while searching the area, an Idaho Falls Police Officer (who was not involved in the shooting) spoke with a different resident on the corner of Tendoy Drive and Syringa Drive. The officer spoke briefly with the resident and informed him that law enforcement officers were looking for a person that had fled from a traffic stop and that officers and deputies would be in the area for some time.
During this time, law enforcement personnel were able to identify the suspect and found that he had multiple warrants for his arrest including Felony Battery on an Officer, and two Failure to Appear Warrants with original charges of Resisting/Obstructing Arrest, and Providing False Information to Law Enforcement. The suspect also had a history of violent interactions with law enforcement.
A second occupant of the suspect vehicle at the time the traffic stop was initiated remained in the vehicle to speak with law enforcement. This occupant showed law enforcement personnel a message they had received from the suspect sharing his GPS location with the occupant. Law enforcement personnel utilized this GPS location to determine the location of the suspect which showed him in the backyard of a residence on the corner of Tendoy Drive and Syringa Drive.
Officers and deputies surrounded the residence and backyard in order to prevent the suspect from fleeing. Due to the information that the suspect may be armed, and a prior history of violence when interacting with police officers, law enforcement personnel entered the location with their service weapons drawn.
Officers heard yelling and approached the backyard where they encountered a man wearing a black shirt armed with a firearm. Officers gave instructions for the man to drop the gun.
"We do not currently have the answers as to what exactly occurred during these moments," said Chief Johnson. "We do know that during this interaction, an Idaho Falls Police Officer discharged his service weapon firing one shot which struck the man. Officers attempted life-saving measures but they were unsuccessful. Emergency medical personnel from the Idaho Falls Fire Department also responded and were also unable to provide any lifesaving aide to the man."
Ultimately, officers and deputies determined that the man that had been shot was not the suspect male but was actually the resident of that address.
Shortly after the shot was fired, a deputy in the area reported seeing a man running through the area. Officers and deputies tracked this man to a nearby residence where he was found hiding in a shed in the backyard of the residence. This man was positively identified as the suspect male who ran from the traffic stop and was taken into custody at that time.
The traffic stop was initiated at approximately 12:03 a.m. The entire incident – including the search, various interactions described above, the shooting, and the arrest occurred within approximately 20 minutes.
The Idaho Falls Police Officer who discharged his service weapon has been placed on Administrative Leave, which is the standard procedure per IFPD policy. The officer was wearing a department-issued body camera, which was activated during the time period that the shooting occurred. This body camera footage, along with all other body camera and car camera footage from officers on scene during any part of the incident, is in the process of being given to the Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Task Force.
At this time, IFPD will not be releasing the names of the individuals involved. This is both to allow the Eastern Idaho Critical Incident Taskforce time to conduct necessary interviews pertaining to their investigation, as well as to allow the family of the deceased time to make family notifications and begin to process what has occurred.
Earlier this morning, Chief Johnson and other IFPD leadership spoke with the family of the deceased. Chief Johnson has continued to speak with the family throughout the day. The family has asked that the department convey their wish to not be contacted by media at this time. On their behalf, IFPD asks that their desire for privacy be respected.
"There are no words to express how heavy our hearts are today," said Chief Johnson. "This situation is devastatingly tragic for the family, for the officer, and those that love and care about them. We all feel the weight of what has occurred today. Our sincere sympathies are with the family and friends of those involved, most especially the family of the deceased."
The Idaho Falls Police Department would like to express our thanks to the Idaho Falls Fire Department and the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy of Idaho for responding to this incident and offering their support.
IFPD would also like to thank the Idaho State Police and investigators from other agencies who will be participating in the investigation and trust that they will be thorough and complete in their investigation.
NOTE: In the Press Conference on February 8th, IFPD mistakenly stated that the incident occurred on the corner of Linden Drive and Syringa Drive. The correct cross streets are Tendoy Drive and Syringa Drive. The above press release has the correct address.

Virtual School opens in Omsk with the support of Sberbank
August 31, 2012, Omsk – The Virtual School, a multi-service information and education project, was presented in Omsk (Russia). This project was implemented at the Luzino General Secondary School No. 2. The presentation involved Victor Nazarov, Governor of Omsk Region. Providing a school in Omsk with modern equipment is the first joint project under an agreement concluded in early July between Sberbank and the Government of the Omsk Region.
The classes of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics are equipped with special interactive boards, to display explanatory materials, graphics, diagrams and assignments for students from a computer to the large screen. Students can write, make pictures and draw on these boards with an electronic pen. The mobile computer class connected the computers of students and teacher into a single network with collective training programs. In addition, the teachers will have the opportunity to upload the information on students' performance in the parent portal and hold electronic parent meetings.
The Virtual School, a comprehensive national education program of Sberbank, was developed in 2008. Today, 14 Virtual Schools have already opened with the support of Sberbank.
"Supporting education and science is a national goal, and Sberbank is actively involved in the work to achieve it", said Stanislav Kuznetsov, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board, Sberbank of Russia. "Implementing the Virtual School charitable program is an important part of Sberbank's work in this area."

Great Falls High falls to Bozeman on road
Keaton Sunchild
Great Falls Tribune
A week after having their own homecoming spoiled, Great Falls High was out to spoil someone else's. They would need to pull off a huge upset in order to get it done, and the first play of the game put the Bison in comeback mode right away.
On a cold night in Bozeman in a brand new stadium, Braeden Mikkelson got the scoring started by running the opening kickoff 92 yards to the end zone to make it 7-0, according to a FM-98.3 radio broadcast.
The Bison would have to wait until the second quarter to move the chains for the first time, but they could not muster any points to show for it.
Jake D'Agostino would find Carter Ash on an eight yard pass midway through the second quarter to make it 14-0.
The Bison would get something going late in the second quarter, but an interception thrown by Andrew Almos would stall the Bison momentum for the rest of the first half.
Both teams would have their chances in the third quarter, but neither team would be able to punch it in.
The Hawks were able to force the second Almos interception of the night, but would not be able to capitalize as the Bison defense was solid all night.

Bozeman would put the game out of reach for good after an 11-yard touchdown by Kenneth Eiden to make it 21-0 with just over six minutes to go in the game.
Great Falls High would try and get on the board with a little more than three minutes to go, but Bozeman would come up with their third pick of the game to put the game on ice.
Great Falls High (0-4) will look to pick up their first win next week as they visit Belgrade (0-4) for the first time.
Bozeman (3-1) meanwhile, will visit CMR (2-2) next week in Great Falls.
