Stora Krokek är en by med sex gårdar i Ödeshögs kommun, Östergötland.

Stora Krokek utgörs av ett mantal och har en areal av 119 hektar.
Byn gränsar i norr till Stavreberg, i öster till Börstabol, i söder till Glasfall och Munkeryd samt i väster till Lilla Krokek.
Krokek finns även på andra platser till exempel söder om Kolmården.

Den geometriska ägoavmätningen från 1638 visar en enkel kartskiss över kronohemmanet Stora Krokek. Där finns Östergärdet med fyra tunnor i utsäde och Västergärdet med 5 ¼ tunnor.

Etymologi
Namnet kan liksom Lilla Krokek syfta på en krokig ek. Namnet kan också ha en djupare symbolisk betydelse särskilt som eken i äldre tider ansågs  helig.

Skiftesförrättningar
Den ursprungliga ensamgården i Stora Krokek fick tidigt under 1700-talet två brukare. Senare blev det flera men något skifte genomfördes inte förrän 1794 genom storskiftet. Två skiften har genomförts i byn, nämligen storskiftet 1794 och laga skiftet 1851.

Vid storskiftet fanns fyra jordägare. Byn delades i två halvgårdar med två ägare till vardera av dessa. Den karta som upprättades 1795 visar att alla husen i byn låg väl samlade.

Vid laga skiftet 1851 fanns fem ägare av Stora Krokek. Det gamla torpet Gärdet bröts ut och fick bilda en egen gård. En utflyttning fick ske. Det var Jansagården, som då ägdes av Anders Jonsson. Han ålades att flytta sina hus till en ny tomt, 1 700 alnar norrut från den förra tomten, vilken låg några hundra meter norr om den gamla hustomten i byn.

Hemmansklyvning
Gårdsdelningen var dock inte avslutad. År 1899 företogs en hemmansklyvning. Två bröder, Anders Magnus och Karl Gustav Andersson delade då sin föräldragård. Ett 50-tal år efter laga skiftet byggdes därför nya hus på byns gamla hustomt.

Torp

Soldattorp
Soldattorpet låg i skogen uppe i byns norra utmarker sedan omkring 1680 då indelningsverket infördes. Den förste soldaten var Olof Persson Krok som värvades 1681 och den siste var Klas Persson Ferb som muckade 1906 efter 30 år som soldat.

Vid generalmönstring med femte kompaniet vid Första Livgrenadjärregementet på Malmen 18 juni 1806 kommenderades Petter Krok, 36 år, från Stora Krokek  till tjänstgöring i Pommern. Han hade då redan 16 tjänstgöringsår som livgrenadjär.

Jonas Jakobssons torp
Detta torp låg i sydost nära gränsen mot Börstabol.

Skräddaretorpet
Detta torp som fanns under åren 1850 - 1890 och beboddes av skräddaren Johan Alfred Jonsson och hans familj. Det låg på norrsluttningen av en ås, c:a 300 meter norr eller nordväst om soldattorpet.

Per Olanders torp
Det låg längst i norr, utmed och på västra sidan av vägen mot Stavreberg och alldeles invid gränsen. Där bodde Per Olander med sin familj från 1840-talet och fram till omkring 1910. Strax söder om hans torp låg från laga skiftet 1851 Jansagården.

Stubbetorpet
Detta torp låg strax söder eller sydväst om Jansagården. Det kanske låg där redan på 1600-talet och fram till omkring 1860. Där bodde Jöns Stubbe med sin familj fram till omkring 1767.

Vid tinget

Krokekaboar förbjudna att starta krog
År 1661 besvärade sig Jöns i Stava över att Per och Bengt i Krokek planerat att på sina ägor sätta upp ett torp som skulle bli krog för vägfarande. Han begärde att detta måtte nekas och anförde både att han inte ville bli störd av resande och att gästgivaren i Holkaberg skulle bli lidande, om denna lilla krog skulle byggas.
Rätten beslutade att efter Gästgiveriordningens 25te stycke "vare det krokekaboar alldeles förbjudet" att uppsätta sådant torp. Detta var bara några år efter att gästgiveriet flyttats från Stava till Holkaberg.

Böter för att ha besovit änka
År 1655 anklagades Per Larsson i Näteryd vid tinget för att han besovit änkan Elin på Krokeks ägor, vilket han inte kunde neka till. Han ville inte ingå äktenskap med henne och därför dömdes han att böta tre daler.

Förlikt tvist
Vid tinget 1694 förekom en tvist mellan Per Svensson i Narbäck och
Måns Larsson i Kopparp rörande ersättning för husröta i Lakarp. Tyres Nilsson och Per i Angseryd m.fl. åberopades av Per Svensson som vittnen i målet. Måns i Kopparp hävdade då att dessa båda var släkt med Per Svensson. Målet slutade med förlikning mellan Måns och Per.

Tvist om täljyxa
Olof Olofsson på Klockargårdens ägor i Ödeshög hade till tinget 1696 instämt Måns Svensson Smed i Stora Krokek rörande en tälgyxa som Olof gett Måns till lagning. Måns hade blivit arbetslös och var förmodligen i ekonomiskt trångmål. Han sålde därför tälgyxan och fick tre daler kopparmynt för denna. Rätten beslutade att Måns Smed skulle  skaffa samma tälgyxa igen till Olof eller ersätta den med två daler  kopparmynt. Dessutom skulle han ersätta Olof med tre daler kopparmynt i rättegångskostnader.

Om organisten Håkan Jonsson
Organisten Håkan Jonsson dömdes 1678 till tre daler böter för det han givit Jon i Narbäck en blånad.

Från tinget 1682 har noterats att Jon i Krokek och sonen Håkan samt Hans Larsson Skytt på Sjöstorp dömdes att böta för slagsmål under roteringen i Ödesiö.

År 1683 var Håkan i farten igen. Han har slagit länsmannen Per
Andersson i Bankaby en blånad i ansiktet. Han dömdes till dubbla böter till sex daler silvermynt efter det skedde 3:e dag jul.
Han fick även böta två kannor vin till sockenkyrkan för orolighet på helgdagen.

Av domboken för år 1688 framgår att organisten Håkan , haft köttslig förbindelse med sin salig hustru Brita Pedersdotters syster, Agneta Pedersdotter, vilket de båda tillstod. Hustrun hade dött i fjol sex veckor före midsommaren. Han hade levat ihop med sin hustru i sex år och de hade tre barn i livet. På fråga när han lägrat hustruns syster svarades att detta skett sju veckor före jul 1987 och att hon fött barn i Bartolomeiveckan. Hon var endast 20 år.

Håkan hade varit organist i Ödeshög i nio år. Lägersmålet hade skett i Hålan i Stora Renemo, där han bott med sin familj hos sin svärmor i fem år.
Ödeshögs socknemän talade mycket gott om Håkan och hans salig hustru och bad att han måtte förskonas till livet. Rätten kunde icke skona deras liv. Målet underställdes Göta Hovrätt.

Pest
1710 kom den orientaliska pesten till Sverige. I Ödeshögs socken dog 154 människor, därav 20 i Stavabygden. I
Stora Krokek dog sju personer i denna sjukdom.

Failing to Disclose Assets Can Bite Back in Divorce
In a case illustrating the importance of candour regarding financial circumstances in divorce proceedings, a husband who failed to disclose the true extent of his wealth to family judges was subsequently ordered to pay his ex-wife a seven-figure lump sum, despite challenging the decision.
The couple married in 1995 and separated in 2016. They had three children who remained financially dependent on them. After their acrimonious separation, the judge considered that, if possible, it was 'imperative' for there to be a complete clean break between the parties. The husband had refused to dissolve the marriage by means of a Get, a religious requirement in certain sections of the Jewish community.
The judge found that the case had become 'far more complex than it need have been, largely due to the failures of the husband to provide adequate disclosure and his lack of adherence to court orders'.
The husband was ordered to pay the wife a lump sum of £1.4 million, with the Family Court providing that, if he failed to pay all or any part of the lump sum by the required date, interest would accrue. He was also required to pay £22,000 a year in maintenance to the wife until he both satisfied the debt and granted her a Get.
An order was made under Section 10A of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 prohibiting him from applying for a decree absolute until a declaration had been filed by the parties that they had taken such steps as were required to dissolve the marriage by means of a Get.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the husband's challenge to those orders and rejected his plea that the judge had erred in failing to quantify the extent of his financial resources. The judge was entitled to find that such an assessment had been rendered impossible by the husband's lack of cooperation.
The Court found that the judge had undertaken a sufficient determination of the extent of the husband's resources given the deficiencies in the evidence caused by the husband. The judge was entitled to conclude that there were sufficient resources both to meet the wife's needs at the level of the proposed award and to meet the husband's needs.

Over the last few days, EU has been welcoming new students from all over the globe to our campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux and Munich. The days have seen various presentations, workshops and talks given by various members of faculty and staff. They have imparted general advice, in order to ensure the students settle into their new cities as easily and smoothly as possible. The social events over the last couple of days have also been a huge success, with students meeting their fellow classmates during various activities, from city tours and wine tastings to treasure hunts and selfie competitions.
Across all the campuses, faculty, staff and alumni alike made sure new students felt welcome, reassured and happy in their new homes. They covered topics including accommodation, visas, insurance and professional development, giving recent arrivals an insight into their new lives and ensuring they felt comfortable and happy with this next stage of their academic careers.
New students on the Munich campus were given a very useful German survival course courtesy of Mr. Martin, and then later enjoyed various bonding activities under the expert (and enjoyable) guidance of EU Business School lecturer, Egon Zank. Meanwhile in EU Barcelona, orientation activities and informative talks were followed by a round-the-city bus tour and a very enjoyable wine tasting session. On the Geneva campus, a scavenger hunt invited everyone to get involved and a trip to the bowling alley ensured everyone got chatting!
We'd like to say a big welcome to the new EU students, and wish them an extremely successful and bright future with us – we'll be with you every step of the way!

A change has been made to the credits of Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk' that sees the writers of The Gap Band's 1979 number 'Oops Up Side Your Head' included as co-writers of the smash hit single.
As reported by Music Week, group members Ronnie Wilson, Charles Wilson and Robert Wilson, as well as record producer Lonnie Simmons and Rudolph Taylor, have been added to the song's listed writers. They join Ronson, singer Bruno Mars, and producers Jeff Bhasker and Philip Lawrence, as well as Nicholas Williams (aka Trinidad James) and Devon Gallaspy, who both received credits for the use of a sample of James's 'All Gold Everything'.
How the five came to receive co-credit has not been revealed, though there does, at least on a surface level, appear to be similarities between the two funk-infused tracks. Click below to listen to both songs.
This change to 'Uptown Funk"s listed personnel follows a series of high-profile legal wrangles over songwriting credits. Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to Marvin Gaye's family in March after a jury determined their 2013 hit 'Blurred Lines' copied elements of the R&B icon's 1977 single 'Got To Give It Up'.
Prior to that ruling, Sam Smith agreed to pay Tom Petty songwriting royalties for his single 'Stay With Me' after similarity between the track and Petty's 1989 track 'I Won't Back Down' were highlighted.

The final bits and pieces. No more dehydrating food! Let's go already!!!
We have had a lot of questions from folks regarding some of our gear, especially the things made from cotton canvas. These articles of clothing and our tent are tried, tested and tough pieces of kit that have been proven to perform in extreme winter weather. They are also specialized pieces of equipment, limiting the number of manufactures out there and limiting the knowledge the general public has about them. I'll try to fill you in, but remember there are other providers of this equipment out there but we are very happy with the things we have bought from the following companies.
These mukluks are the golden standard for mass produced winter boots. They are simply the best, made in Ely, Minnesota. These mukluks are acclaimed by quite the list of winter adventurers. Having lived in Thunder Bay, Ontario for a year, we had these mukluks on our wish list for a long time. I can easily say now, they are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn, it feels like you are running through the snow in slippers. They are incredibly warm, flexible and simple. We love them!
Dave and Kielyn Marrone out of Sudbury, Ontario are a young couple who have created a fantastic company called Lure of the North. We recently discovered them but are very impressed by their "make at home" Anorak kits. We haven't had many opportunities to test our Anoraks in really cold, windy, wintery conditions as of yet (winter has been pretty warm here in N.S.) but we have faith these shells will perform well. Lure of the North also offers guided winter treks, made to order Anoraks, and a variety of other clothing and various pieces of winter camping equipment, check them out.
Again, These tents are amazing. They completely change winter camping. Although certainly not a new technology (these types of tents have been used for a LONG time), Snowtrekker has managed to create a tent that weights about 16lbs including poles. The poles are just like those you would see in a 3 season tent, aluminum with shock cords, allowing for a simple and quick setup. They also sell the woodstoves that go in them, making them so inviting and awesome. The stove itself weights about 16lbs as well, making the whole kit worth lugging around. Having these luxuries at the end of the day certainly gives us something to look forward to.

Guillermo Tell Villegas (1 January 1823 in Valencia, Venezuela – 21 March 1907 in Valencia) was a Venezuelan politician, lawyer, and writer. Among other government positions, he served as interim president of Venezuela in 1868, 1870 and 1892. Starting his career in law, he became governor of Barinas in 1859 and afterwards held various roles in the government of Juan Crisostomo Falcon, including deputy in the Assembly of Victory, Minister of Interior and Justice, and interim Foreign Minister of Venezuela. In 1864 and in 1866 was appointed to the Federal High Court. Villegas participated in the La Genuina revolution in 1867, and was elected president of the Chamber of Deputies in 1868, where he openly opposed the government of Falcón. The Blue Revolution in 1868 removed Falcon from power, and Villegas became Foreign Minister under President José Ruperto Monagas. In 1868 Villegas spent eight months as interim president of Venezuela, during which time he reinstated the Federal Constitution from 1864. After again serving as interim president and Minister of the Interior in 1969, in 1870 he was interim president a third time while Monagas fought the Liberal Revolution. The revolution was successful, and Villegas retired from active politics after ceding the presidency.

Villegas went into education after his retirement, and in 1876 he founded the school La Paz. He published several reports and educational textbooks in the 1880s, and in 1889 President Juan Pablo Rojas Paul named him Minister of Public Instruction. In 1892 Villegas was appointed the president of the Federal Council. Villegas served as interim President of Venezuela for the final time in 1892, when Raimundo Andueza Palacio was in absentia while dealing with the outbreak of the Legalist Revolution. Villegas resigned later that year and was succeeded by his nephew Guillermo Tell Villegas Pulido. Returning to education, he published the first Venezuelan popular instruction book on literature, science, and fine arts in 1895. In 1901, he was elected as a member of the  at the age of 80.

Early life and education
Guillermo Tell Villegas was born in  Valencia, Venezuela in 1823. He graduated from the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas as a lawyer.

Career

1859-1868: Early positions

Villegas was politically active in the days of the Venezuelan Federal War (1859–1863). He became the governor of Barinas in 1859, at the age of 35. In 1863, he became a deputy in the Assembly of Victory (Asamblea de La Victoria). In July 1863, he became the undersecretary of Interior and Justice (Interior y Justicia) during the government of Juan Crisostomo Falcon. In August 1863, he was appointed Minister of Interior and Justice in the Ministry of Interior Justice (Ministerio de Interior y Justicia). As Minister of Interior and Justice, he drafted the decree of Constitutional Guarantees (Constitución Federal) which removed the death penalty, exile, and confinement for political enemies of the government. He also guaranteed freedom of expression and extended the right to vote to those over 18 years of age. On August 7, 1863, he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores) when he temporarily assumed the role of Antonio Guzman Blanco during Blanco's absence.  He remained the 65th Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela until January 21, 1864. He became an appointed member of the Federal High Court in 1864, and was appointed again two years later.

1867-1869: Revolution and new government
Villegas participated in the La Genuina revolution led by General Luciano Mendoza in 1867, along with others such as Pedro Ezequiel Rojas, Elias Rojas, Martin Sanabria and Jose Antonio Mosquera. Shortly before the start of the Blue Revolution (Revolución Azul), in early 1868 Villegas served as vice president at a meeting of around 1,000 people, all meeting in a theatre in Caracas in an attempt to reconcile Falcon's government with the new "blue" movement led by Miguel Antonio Rojas and José Tadeo Monagas. He was elected president of the Chamber of Deputies (Cámara de Diputados) in April 1868, where he openly opposed Falcon's government. The Blue Revolution ended in June 1868 with the "blue" movement coming into power, with Villegas serving as a key figure in the new Venezuelan government. Under President José Ruperto Monagas, Villegas served as the 78th Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela from June 27, 1868, until February 24, 1869.  Preceded in the role by Rafael Arvelo, he was succeeded by Juan Pablo Rojas Paúl.

1868-1869: First terms as president

On June 28, 1868, he succeeded Manuel Ezequiel Bruzual as President of Venezuela. During his eight-month tenure, he worked to completely abolish the political system established by Falcon. Villegas granted amnesty to political prisoners, reinstated the Federal Constitution from 1864, and re-enforced civil rights. He also instated federal law and the union of the parties. On October 1, 1868, there was an assassination attempt on Villegas while he was administering his presidential duties at the government mansion. The assassin was captured before the attempt. His tenure lasted until February 20, 1869, when he was followed by José Ruperto Monagas.

While Monagas was campaigning in February 1869, as the designated second in the Republic of Venezuela, Villegas again took the role of interim president. While during this short term, he officially honored the mortal remains of General Ezequiel Zamora, and also arranged the repatriation of the remains of Jose Maria Vargas, which had been in New York. He also honored general José Gregorio Monagas, and had a statue of El Libertador, Simón Bolívar, installed in the main square of Caracas. Furthermore, he approved of 13,000 pesos in funding to support national schools, and pardoned those that had been involved in the political events of 1868. He furthermore created the Presidency of the Cabinet (Presidencia del Gabinete), before returning the presidential role to Monagas in March 1869. Villegas was appointed Minister of the Interior in December 1869, his second time holding the position.

1871-1901: Education roles and final terms
In 1870, Monagas left Caracas to fight the Liberal Revolution led by Antonio Guzman Blanco, and Villegas was once again appointed interim president in his absence on April 16, 1870. However, Blanco's successful revolution resulted in Villegas retiring from active politics. Villegas' term lasted around ten days, and on April 27, 1870, he ceded the role to Antonio Guzmán Blanco. Villegas went into education after his retirement from active politics, and in 1876 he founded the school La Paz along with his nephew Guillermo Tell Villegas Pulido, and he was known as a prominent teacher at the school. He published a book on Spanish grammar in 1884, and in 1887 published a book on Spanish homophones. The National Executive (Ejecutivo Nacional) commissioned him in 1889 to write a report to the Minister of Public Instruction on the formation of a series of popular instruction textbooks for Venezuela. Also that year, President Juan Pablo Rojas Paul named him Minister of Public Instruction (Ministro de Instrucción Pública). In the government of President Raimundo Andueza Palacio, in 1892 Villegas was appointed the president of the Federal Council (Ejecutivo Nacional).

Villegas served as interim President of Venezuela for the final time starting on June 17, 1892, when Raimundo Andueza Palacio was in absentia while dealing with the outbreak of the Legalist Revolution (Revolución Legalista) led by Joaquín Crespo. Villegas served in the position until August 31, 1892, when he resigned and was succeeded by his nephew Guillermo Tell Villegas Pulido. Moving from politics to education, he published the first Venezuelan popular instruction book on literature, science, and fine arts in 1895, regarded as one of his most important works. On October 6, 1901, he was named as a new member of the , although the membership couldn't be put into effect due to Villegas' advanced age.

Death
Villegas died in his hometown of Valencia on March 21, 1907, circa the age of 84.

In a University town during the present time, ladies have a book club where they are studying The Tale of Genji, the worlds first novel written by a lady from Heian Japan, with a graduate student. The ladies are going through tumultuous times that echo those of the book they are reading; a husband is dying, a marriage is falling apart, a decision about retirement has to be made. Old loves re-appear, the bereaved are able to love again, though not in the same old way, new men appear and court the ladies, loved ones sicken gradually. Houses that were used to bring up children are too large and too complicated for the lives they now lead. Their graduate student goes away for a quarter, perhaps into exile.
Will there be a happy ending for any of our ladies? Do our ladies believe in the concept of happy endings? Will they continue reading The Tale of Genji together?
We rejoin the characters from The Book Club Chronicles as they are struggling with their lives and their loves. They are still studying The Tale of Genji, with the same graduate student from that previous time. Bill plots to return Annie to his life because of his need for revenge or for a reconciliation? Annie resumes writing after the death of Hans, and discovers the problems of publishing. Claire flails around to find an outlet for her intellectual energies. Katherine is having fun with her various men, while still mourning the loss of her great love. Franny, who has turned sour and angry, has become an annoying mystery.
What is a happy ending for these ladies, if there is such a thing as a happy ending? While struggling they meditate on the nature of men and women and of marriages as they continue reading the great masterpiece from 12th century Heian Japan. Written in Japanese by Murasaki Shikibu, a court lady, instead of the highly regarded Chinese that the men wrote in, it is described as the worlds first novel.
The ladies Book Club finish their study of The Tale of Genji and, leaderless, wonder how to keep their book club vital. After much debate, the ladies take on the study of Romeo and Juliet. In their close study of the filmed versions of the play, the ballet and musical comedy and then their close study of the text itself, they find themselves meditating on decision making, on the nature of tragedy, and on their own domestic lives. Franny, confronted with a straying husband, ill health, and estranged children tries to plan her next step. Katherine finds herself traversing the maze of decisions about the treatment of her breast cancer. She is not alone as Annie and Claire make up the gal posse that protect her. All of the ladies and their gentlemen who are part of their lives are drawn into this latest crisis. Always, the book club provides a refuge from the problems of their everyday lives as well as illumination about those decisions that are thrust upon those of advancing age.
The ladies having completed their study of Romeo and Juliet move on to Macbeth. It is February in Chicago, a dreary month that seems to last forever. The skies are grey, the streets cold and dangerous, a setting that mirrors Macbeth. The three witches who make their target Macbeth, the ghosts who torment Macbeth and his consort Lady Macbeth resonate with what is happening in their own lives. Katherine is haunted by the certainty that her cancer will recur, and is terrified that she will die alone. Franny is tormented by the ghosts from her past that she thought she had escaped by marrying Sam. Annie, reconciled with Bill is worried about the fate of the artists, writers, and doctors in a culture that exploits those who do the actual work. Claire is disturbed by the play and the pain it is causing her and her friends. All are intensely aware of how little time is left to them and how precious that remaining time is. Changes, welcome or not, come to all the ladies. The Book Club and their friendships provide sustenance and comfort in this unsettled time of their lives.
It is early fall when the ladies reconvened their book club. At Katherine's suggestion they continued with Shakespeare and studied Hamlet using the text and the version filmed with Sir Patrick Stewart as Claudius as their base. Surprised at their reaction to the characters in Act 1, they quickly realized that seen through the filter of their age and gender that they were the ones most able to mount a defense of Gertrude. They added the Sir Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet as contrast. Their study of the play is reflected in the talks with the males in their lives: Claire is newly married and her Henry is determined to hold on to his corner office; Annie's husband, Bill, is facing the end of his career which will effect her in unpredictable ways; Franny, slowly recovering with the help of her therapist, wants to reconcile with Sam and her children; Katherine is convinced that her liaison with Mark will not endure and is determined to enjoy her remaining time with him. A new member, welcomed gingerly into the book club, turns out to be a good addition. The ladies struggled with both the play and with the awareness that because of their age, they and all their friends and mates were seen as obsolete.
The storms of autumn arrive, the storms of their lives continue. The ladies decide to study Shakespeare's The Tempest, wrongly thinking that a comedy will be easier than another of the big tragedies. Finding a suitable filmed version is difficult, reading the text is even more difficult. They struggle, seeing in this late play parts that mirror their own experiences. Claire and Henry struggle in their late life marriage with the debris and assumptions from their earlier marriages. Annie fights against the physical constraints that come with her aging as Bill wrestles with what he will do after retirement. Katherine is haunted by her past and her brush with cancer and has trouble accepting that Mark is in her life for the duration. Frannie now has grandchildren and a measure of happiness because she has faced the demons of her upbringing. The new members of the book club, Sally and Clarissa, have their own issues as their long standing friendship shatters. Clarissa is rejuvenated by one new passion and one old passion. All this occurs and is illuminated by their reading of the glorious music and the strange plots of The Tempest.


Discover how to get rid of a cold fast with our special family natural cold remedy, homemade super tonic!
Everyone hates getting a cold, but every year it seems inevitable. The moment you feel it coming on, the first thing you probably do is search for a remedy.
When you're stuck with a terrible cold, you want something effective. This cold remedy basically combines all of the best cold-fighting compounds into one powerful blend. Of all the wonderful natural cold remedies I know, this one is the best!
Guys, this natural cold remedy is POTENT. If you're looking for something that tastes good, this may not be the right fit (*cough*). But if you're looking for something that WORKS as a common cold cure, look no further.
When my husband and I first got married, during cold and flu season, I was introduced to this strange looking (and smelling) concoction in a dark dropper bottle. It was a special recipe created by his mother that his family used for years. They called it "Super Tonic," and to them, it is the perfect common cold cure. Any time he felt a cold coming on, my husband would squirt this in the back of his throat and gargle. It always seemed to kick his cold in the teeth.
One time, he was extremely sick with a cold and fever but he had to be somewhere. So, he got in a hot bath and took several doses of super tonic while in the bath. His fever broke!
But me, being the chicken that I am, didn't want to try something that looked and smelled funny – even though I wanted to know how to get rid of a cold. So I resisted. Eventually though, I got desperate enough to try this natural cold remedy.
At first, it was a little hard to swallow (literally). This stuff is strong. But that's why it works – germs can't survive when exposed to this super tonic.
As expected, the first few times I used it, I didn't like the taste and would cough and sputter. But eventually, I got used to it and even started to like it! And guys, let me tell you, this stuff WORKS. I finally figured out how to get rid of a cold and I can literally feel the germs dying inside my throat. It's as close as you can get to a common cold cure!
Here are the cold remedy ingredients and why they work so well.
The star of this recipe, apple cider vinegar (also known as ACV) is known to benefit the body in many different ways by helping to balance pH levels and provide minerals like potassium. Particularly for the common cold, it serves several different functions. It helps to thin and break up mucus, and the vinegar helps to kill off bacteria. The vitamin C and mineral content helps strengthen the immune system (source).
Garlic helps to shorten the duration of your cold when you take it early. Not only is garlic a great natural cold remedy, it is also great for preventing colds in the first place.
Cayenne pepper contains a compound called capsaicin, which helps to thin mucus and break up congestion. It is also thought to stimulate blood flow to the nasal passages and make breathing easier. Cayenne also contains Vitamin A which helps to protect the body during a cold. Additionally, cayenne pepper also helps to bring down a fever if you have one by naturally reducing your body's core temperature (source). Personally, it seemed to me that the super hot pepper helped to kill off all that bad bacteria too!
In one study, children age 2 and older with upper respiratory tract infections were given up to 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) of honey at bedtime. The honey seemed to reduce nighttime coughing and improve sleep. In fact, in the study, honey appeared to be as effective as a common cough suppressant ingredient, dextromethorphan, in typical over-the-counter doses.
Local raw honey and manuka honey are best, as they contain more of the active healing enzymes than typical honey that has been heated. If you're looking for an effective cure for a cold, look no further than honey.
When I'm sick, I also love grating fresh ginger into a mug of hot water with honey and a squirt of lemon. It's the perfect healing tea.
Wow, that's a lot of cold-fighting power in those ingredients! Now, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to make it.
If you want the quick version, I've included a recipe card at the bottom of the post.
First, add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (with the mother, such as Bragg's) to a blender.
After this, add 6-8 cloves of crushed garlic, depending on the size. I love using this garlic press. Then, add 1 inch of peeled, grated ginger.
Tip: If you have a high-powered blender (like this Blendtec – I'm in love with it), you can just peel the garlic and ginger and let the blender do the crushing for you.
Next, add 1/8 up to 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I recommend starting small and building up to the larger amount. A little goes a long way!
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of local or manuka honey to the blender.
Blend for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth.
Last, strain the mixture through a small strainer into a small jar or container.
Ideally, you can store it in small dark amber dropper bottles. This is perfect for just squeezing a dose into the back of your throat to gargle throughout the day (be sure to shake it first).
A potent blend of the world's best cold-fighting ingredients. Germs don't stand a chance!
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend for approximately 1 minute. If using a high powered blender, there is no need to crush the garlic and ginger.
Strain through a mesh strainer into a small jar. Store in the refrigerator and use within 1 month.
Dosage: Take 1 teaspoon (and gargle) several times per day during illness. Best taken at the onset of a cold to shorten its duration.
Honey should not be used for infants under 1 year of age.
Dosage: Gargle and swallow approximately 1 teaspoon several times a day during illness. Best taken at the first sign of a sore throat.
Store the super tonic in the refrigerator and use within 1 month. The vinegar helps it keep it fresh.
This recipe is not for the faint of heart. If you're not used to hot and spicy things, I recommend adding an extra half cup of boiled, cooled filtered (or distilled) water to the mixture to make it easier to take. You would just need to double the dose so you get the same amount of germ-fighting power.
If you enjoy home remedies, here's my favorite resource for them: The Everyday Roots Book. It's over 400 pages of remedies for most minor ailments, plus DIY home & beauty products. I've never seen a resource this comprehensive for DIY recipes and remedies, and believe me, I've looked. The author, Claire, runs a really successful remedies website and is considered one of the top experts. I love having this book on hand whenever I need a quick remedy, and I can't wait to try some of the salves and lotion recipes. Check out the Everyday Roots book here!
Now you know how to get rid of a cold fast with this effective and potent Super Tonic! Favor to ask: Could you leave a recipe rating in the comments section? I'd really appreciate it!
Tell me: What's your favorite remedy for how to get rid of a cold? Are you brave enough to try Super Tonic?
That is so cool, Stacey! Many of these natural remedies are universal 🙂 (Sorry for the delayed response. I had a glitch on my blog and it wasn't displaying any comments).

FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE's playful sculpture, "Singe Avise (Grand)", circa 2005, estimated at $400,000-600,000, leads the auction. | MARC NEWSON's "Orgone Chair", circa 1993, estimated at $280,000 – 380,000.
Phillips Spring Design Auction Highlights
By MODERN STAFF | May 23, 2013
PHILLIPS ANNOUNCES AN IMPORTANT SELECTION OF WORKS BY THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER NAMES IN DESIGN.
"Following the record-breaking success of the April London auction, we look forward to continuing the momentum by presenting a focused group of works by important 20th and 21st century designers from across the globe." Meaghan Roddy, Head of Sale, New York Design.
Works by French design masters figure prominently in the sale. FRANÇOIS-XAVIER LALANNE's playful sculpture, "Singe Avise (Grand)", circa 2005, estimated at $400,000-600,000, leads the auction. During his lifetime Lalanne sculpted a surrealist zoo of animals and the present lot is one of the most recognizable animals in the series. Between 1949 and 1951 architect and designer JEAN PROUVÉ was commissioned to design pre-fabricated houses for France's West African colonies, resulting in his famous Maisons Tropicals. A pair of doors designed for the Maisons Tropicales, circa 1949, which is estimated at $80,000-120,000, are excellent and rare architectural elements from this groundbreaking project. CHARLOTTE PERRIAND is recognized for her enormous contributions to French modernism. Bibliothèque, circa 1954, estimated at $200,000- 300,000, was created by Perriand in collaboration with artist Sonia Delaunay (who selected the colors) and produced by Jean Prouvé's studio during her most prolific period. Works by JEAN ROYÈRE are recognized for their playful organic forms. The oak and goat hide Rare "Ondulation" lounge chair, circa 1951, estimated at $80,000-120,000 is representative of his avant-garde response to French modernism and displays his signature undulating motif. Rare Daybed, circa 1930, estimated at $200,000-300,000, by JEAN-MICHEL FRANK is a superb example of the designer's work and was included in the prestigious Jean-michel Frank exhibition at the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent. The daybed's simple lines are offset by luxurious materials – shagreen and silk – which produce the quiet sophistication most associated with his work.
Marc Newson and Ron Arad are today's most sought after contemporary designers. Their designs push the boundaries of art and design and engage us in thoughts of the future. MARC NEWSON's "Orgone Chair", circa 1993, estimated at $280,000 – 380,000, an extension of his famous "Lockheed Lounge" design, is one of the most important works from his series in aluminum and was fabricated by British coachbuilders specializing in the restoration of Aston Martins. Similarly well known for his use in mirror polished finishes, RON ARAD's innovative design and execution is exemplary in Important unique "Afterthought" chair, 2007, estimated at $200,000 – 300,000, which was included in the important retrospective at the Pompidou in Paris.
Other important works in the sale include: Large double-spiral wall light, from the Scala Cinema and Concert Hall, Århus Theater, circa 1955, estimated at $150,000-200,000 by Danish architect, POUL HENNINGSEN; "Calabash" table lamp, circa 1937, estimated at $80,000 – 120,000 by ALBERTO GIACOMETTI; Rocking chair, 1988, estimated at $35,000 – 45,000 by SAM MALOOF; and "Cappello del Doge" vase, 1961-1962, estimated at $16,000 – 18,000 by THOMAS STEARNS.

Ohio teachers' pension fund makes $432M investment in Hudson Yards
STRS Ohio buys 20% stake in 10 Hudson Yards
By Rick Bockmann | May 18, 2018 03:50PM

The Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group recapitalized a portion of their first Hudson Yards office tower with a $400 million-plus investment from the Ohio state teachers' pension fund.
The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio paid $431.9 million to purchase a roughly 20 percent stake in the Coach-anchored 10 Hudson Yards, property records filed with the city Friday show.
A representative for STRS Ohio was not immediately available to comment, but a spokesperson for Related said the investment is "another vote of confidence" from an institutional investor in the Far West Side megaproject.
The pension plan joins German insurer Allianz and the Kuwait Investment Authority as an investor in the 52-story, 1.7 million-square-foot tower at the corner of 10th Avenue and West 30th Street.
Allianz paid $420 million in 2016 to buy the stake owned by Coach and a portion of the equity held by the Kuwait Investment Authority. The deal, which included a $1.2 billion refinancing of the property's debt from Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs, valued the tower at $2.15 billion.
The pension plan's investment is the latest infusion of capital into the $25 billion, 17 million-square-foot Far West Side megaproject. The developers have tapped into myriad sources of capital to finance various stages of the project, as The Real Deal previously reported.
And this is not the first time Related and the pension plan have teamed up. The two jointly own the ground lease on the 240,000-square-foot retail condominium at the base of Related's 240-unit rental building at One Union Square South.
STRS Ohio also owns the retail condo at 15 Union Square West and 1 million-square-foot office building at 590 Madison Avenue.
10 Hudson Yards, the first of two office towers Related and Oxford built over the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Far West Side rail tracks, opened in 2016 and is fully leased to tenants including L'Oréal USA, SAP, the Boston Consulting Group, VaynerMedia, Intersection and Sidewalk Labs.
Related and Oxford are also teaming up with Mitsui Fudosan America to develop two other office towers at the complex.
The world's biggest private RE investor has a new boss
Tom Arnold to take helm of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority
Tom Arnold and Waterline Square
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the world's largest private investor in real estate, has named a new leader for its property division.
Tom Arnold will take over as global head of real estate from Bill Schwab at the company effective June 1, according to PERE News. The company is the largest private real estate institutional investor in the world with $47 billion in assets. Its New York investments include the luxury residential development Waterline Square , the London Hotel at 151 West 54th Street and the Edition Hotel at 5 Madison Avenue, which it purchased in 2015 for about $337 million.
Schwab held his position at ADIA for nine years. ADIA's real estate team quadrupled in size under his tenure, and the company also increased the number of projects it manages internally. ADIA is currently estimated to have up to 50 million square feet of development either underway or planned.
Schwab came to ADIA from JPMorgan, and although he is expected to stay in real estate, his next role is unclear.
Arnold came to ADIA from private equity firm Cerberus Capital Partners and has also previously worked at Credit Suisse and ING Financial Services. His current role at ADIA is deputy global head of real estate. – Eddie Small

There is a common roadblock that keeps marketing performance hindered when you outsource marketing to an agency, freelancer or even employee. Break down this barrier with this simple insight.


Daniel B's Tech Blog: Rebuttle to PCUser's "Windows 7 Verdict"
In the November 2009 issue of PCUser magazine, author Darren Yates writes about his results when reviewing the yet to be released Microsoft Windows 7.
Darren Yates [Darren] has done a good job at making a fair comparison by using UserBench suite of benchmarking software, however I have found several incosistancies and isses in the article that read strange to me and don't make sense when doing a benchmark review.
There is nothing wrong with their test system as they have built it with quality parts. However, my concern is mainly with the CPU configuration. Nothing wrong with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but PCUser decided to overclock it for their benchmark. Why?
It's defined by Intel themselves that overclocking is a bad idea (http://bit.ly/inteloc), resulting degration of general system reliability as well as possibility of killing the processor despite speeding up the processor's clock time.
In my opinion, these results are already tainted due to the procesor being modified beyond it's factory standards, comprimising the integrity of the processor and the tests. My angle has always been from the everyday user. Not every user overclocks their system, and CPUs don't come overclocked. So, there will be alot of people questioning wht can't mach the times published right out of the box.
I say this was a bad move by PCUser.
Starter vs. Ultimate Comparison: What the hell?
To be released with this version of Windows, consumers will see on the shelves three distinct and familar editions; Home [Premium], Professional & Ultimate. In the background we of course have the N edition (No Media Player), the almost E edition (No Internet Explorer) and the Starter edition.
The Starter edition in Windows Vista was intially marketed to emerging countries and low-end devices. Australia never really saw Windows Vista Starter Edition at all. In Windows 7, starter edition has been developed with the targets of again emerging countries and low-end devices especially the now popular Netbooks.
Currently in Australia, netbooks are packages with either propietry Linux-based operating systems or Windows XP Home. But once Windows 7 is officially released to the public, we will see it prepackaged on all the Netbook devices. So as I said, Windows 7 starter is designed for low-end, barebones machines. Not mainstream desktop or laptop solutions. But PCUser had other ideas.
...whether ther are other limitations in Starter that may cause it to run slower than the more expensive versions of the OS.
My question is why would want to run Starter edition on a Core 2 Duo based desktop? Starter edition is (as I mentioned earlier) targeted to basic, barebones machines. But PCUser thought it test the OS on everything (multimedia, imaging, security and gaming) against the top of the line, Ultimate. I find this rediculous, a waste of time. You are not finding Starter edition on your next Pavillion. And you're not running your next LAN Gaming session from your EeePC. Their results were of no great surpirse as their test results were pretty much level proving that the different edition didnt have any hidden advantage or limitations.
My main problem is that starter edition isn't apart of the official product line, its a specialised release. So why treat it and conduct this type of benchmark on it?
"Windows 7 vs. Vista vs. XP"
According to the tests, Windows XP still ranks the fastest in most tests, but then Windows 7 comes in a close second. But then my comfusion is why test 64-bit versions if you arn't going to test every 64-bit version. Windows XP has a 64-bit version, but it wasn't not mentioned. Nor was Ubuntu's. Another area where they seem to have a hole in their research. This issue was even questioned in the previous sections table of results as they listed the times of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, but Starter doesn't even come in 64-bit. So how is it relelvent.
Although Windows XP 64-bit edition was ahead of it's time, PCUser should have still tested it while they were conducting irrelevent testing. This article was supposed to be informing users of Windows 7 in relevent ways, not in unrelatable methods.
It is widely understood that developers will through in code just to get the product out the door. Microsoft as a developer is no different. With Windows Vista, marketing and communication was rushed with it's partners resulting in very poor overall support. Windows 7 is essentially the redefined Vista. But with this in mind, I can't see Microsoft having the time and support to develop hardward drivers. Especially for graphics. In this section, PCUser test the built-in GPU drivers that are packaged with Windows 7 in comparision to those developed by the chip developers themselves. But before they even start, who would you think to have the better driver?
The question PCUser raised here was whether or not the built-in drivers compared for true 3D performance. In the same paragraph we find the answer; No they're not. What a freakin surprise. They reveal that Windows was good enough to detect and install the drivers for their test graphics cards (Geforce 8600 & Radeon HD 4850) to at least start with the correct resolution. However when it came to high-end testing, downloading the latest official drivers was the way to go. What a surprise? Don't people do this anyway?
"Is Windows Or Linux Faster?"
This was my favourite section of this entire article. Previously I had was a Linux fanboy and defended to the core of the OpenSource philosophy. But since I have since come to the relisation although Linux is very developed and does have it's markets in the world, it will never beat Windows or over take the desktop market. Never. But I always enjoy a good Windows/Linux fight. And this sections starts this fight. The test to see which one is faster.
"According to our tests, the overall performance difference is about 8.5% in favor or Windows."
"It's not that Windows is more repsonsive than Linux...".
Clearly they are hurt by this (LOL).
I don't mean to be Windows bias, but the fact they even made the comparison is rediculous as Linux is so absolutley varied to Windows on all grounds that it makes it near impossible to make a fair comparison on performance.
"...that Windows 7 is a positive refinement of Vista".
I mean, come on. That's it? You mentioned about some features that should have mentioned earlier, but really, nothing actually more concrete than "It's sorta ok".
"Is it as good as XP, though? If you're still happy using XP and think it Microsoft's finest hour, you may not think the same of Windows 7. This is especially true when you consider that XP ships as a 550MB CD, while the 32-bit versions of Windows 7 DVDs start at 2.4GB and the 64-bit version 3.2GB"
Their conclusion further goes on to say that although it's better than Windows Vista, they wouldn't spend $299 to upgrade to Windows 7 Home. Even though it's better out of the box then any previous version of Windows, they will stick with XP. And by the way, what difference does the size of the OS on the disc is? You install it and that's it, right? Or is the folks at PCUser mag doing something else that were missing out on?
MY final verdict is that although Darren has worked very hard to conducted thorough tests on various different configurations (and I commend him on his efforts), the article seems to miss key points while examining other irrelevent comparisons, and then introducing new points in the conclusion. My opinion of Windows 7 is that is a big imporvment on previous versions of Windows, especially since it's the first in it's line able to run on lower hardware specs than it's predecessor. Impressive. Well done Microsoft. You will win back alot of computer users with this release.

RWW Anthology
Posts & Notes
Leehu Sigler
An anthology compiled in the midst of a global pandemic is a strange sort of artifact. On one hand, it houses the incongruous, irreducible truths that are placed side by side and forced into cohabitation. On the other, an anthology is an oddly familiar object, testifying to the many disparate lives all around us, also navigating the tempests just outside of the windows. It records and preserves some of the stories and poems that were written by people of our times. As a document, then, an anthology is unavoidably communal, boasting our similarities, calling out our differences, and recognizing our ambiguities. It brings forth different voices, united by their written proximity. Anthologies are bonfires of sorts. They call us over, sit us down, and make us talk with one another.
Over four months have passed since I began working with V Press LC on Running with Water 2021. Submissions came in from twenty-eight different states and two different countries. Unsurprisingly, around the writings that carried us through the many rounds of readings, a community gradually formed. In some pieces, we encounter foreign cities; in others, we traverse the natural world. Some of these writings tell of love, love break, or broken memories. Many discuss health, physical or mental, or the lack of either. Others stand testimony to those who are no longer with us. But these stories persevere between the covers. They remain held up by their community of writers, small presses, and you, the readers.
The team has gone through extraordinary efforts to publish this anthology. Torie Amarie Dale, founder and Director of V Press LC, read through each and every text, cradling words at odd hours and enthusiastically discussing the metaphors and similes running off of the pages. Despite navigating lockdown and curfews, our editors, Irena Tervo, Mary-Faith Martinez, Gabri Lafratta, and Hannah Allen, all working remotely, have meticulously read, commented, reread, and debated these texts to cultivate those pieces that inspired us most. I feel tremendously lucky to have been a part of this team and to be able to document some of the creativity of our difficult era. Thank you, to our wonderful authors for braving the world with their words. And thank you to our readers for joining the community and listening to their stories. ~ L.B.S.

App idea (gane) can someone tell me if this is possible.
Discussion in 'General Programming Chat' started by Techxan, May 1, 2013.
I have an idea for an dueling game. Does anyone know if this can be done?
You start the game, and if you you get close enough to another player, your phone will id them as a player near you so you can initiate an attack on them, or waring you that someone near you is attacking you so you can defend yourself.
Does technology exist to be able to do this?
Its not possible in IOS. No idea about android.
I don't see why not. It would have to be very popular though.
Yes it's possible.But isn't this against the law?
Probably possible. Depends how close you want this to trigger. You could somehow pick the GPS location and update your game server and whenever 2 devices are close you send a msg to them both.
As long as you have GPS, its possible, with any device. Of couese you need an internet connection, too.

The Roman Schism Illustrated from the Records of the Catholic Church
Yazar: Arthur Philip Perceval
Bu kitap hakkında
substance with the Father. By whom all things were made, both which are in heaven and which are in earth. Who for us men and for our salvation came down, and was incarnate, and was made man: he suffered, and rose the third day, ascended into heaven, and will come again to judge the quick and the dead : and in the Holy Ghost. But those who say, there was a time when He was not, and that He was not before He was begotten, and that He was of things which were not, or who say that He was of another subject or substance, or that the Son of God is subject to conversion and change, such persons the Catholick and Apostolick Church anathematizes. (See Eusebius' Life of Constantine, books ii. c. 64–73, and iii. c. 5–14; the Eccles. Hist. of Socrates, i. c. 8.; Sozomen, i. c. 17; and Theodoret, book i. ch. 7—10, 12. iv. 3.)
Sardica, A.D. 347.
The Roman writers (see Labbé and Cossart, vol. i. p. 623), bave laboured hard to give the authority of a general council to a synod of western bishops, to the number of eighty (see Beveridge's Pandect. ii. 199), who assembled at Sardica in Illyricum, against the Arians, in the year 347. Their apparent motive for this has been that certain canons (of doubtful authenticity), ascribed to this council somewhat favour the Roman claim for supremacy.
But the council was never acknowledged in the East as general, nor was it ever contained in that list of general councils to which, as appears by the second profession of faith in libro diurno Roman. Pontif. published by Garner the Jesuit, and reprinted lately by the learned Routh (Script. Eccles. Opusc. ii. 501.) the Roman pontiffs were required to profess their adherence. The decrees ascribed to it, therefore, even if they could be shewn to be genuine (c), are totally irrelevant to the present undertaking. There is reason to believe that British bishops were present at this council (D).
Arimini, A.D. 359.
The title of a General Council is also claimed by the Roman writers (Labbé and Cossart, ii. 791), for the council of 400 Western bishops assembled at Arimini in Italy, likewise against the Arians, in the year 359. But it was never so considered by the Church at large, neither in the East nor West, and all its acts have been lost. There is no question that British bishops were present at it (E).
II. CONSTANTINOPLE, A.D. 381.
The second General (F) Council consisted of 150 bishops assembled at Constantinople in the year 381, by the Emperor Theodosius (g), to pass sentence upon Macedonius, who had broached a double heresy, partly in respect of the Son, whose substance and
divinity he asserted to be similar to that of the Father, denying the identity : and partly in respect of the Holy Ghost, whom he expressly affirmed to be a creature. (Theodoret. Eccles. Hist. ii. c. 6.) This council condemned the Macedonian and some other heresies : revised and enlarged the Nicene creed, (this was the work of Gregory of Nyssa), and passed some canons (H), affecting ecclesiastical order and discipline, and wrote a synodical epistle of thanks to the Emperor Theodosius, by whom they had been convened. The creed put forth by this council is the same with that in the English Communion Service, excepting the words "and the Son," speaking of the procession of the Holy Ghost. There are, besides, slight variations (1) in the different copies cited. (Socrates, Hist. Eccles. v. 8; Sozomen, vii. 9; Labbé and Cossart, ii. 911; Beveridge's Pandect. ii. 89; Routh, Scr. Eccles. Opusc. ii. 382.)
III. EPHESUS, A.D. 431.
The third Council to which the style and authority of a General Synod has been allowed by the whole Church, is that composed of 200 bishops assembled at Ephesus, by command of the Emperor Theodosius (K), in the year 431. The purpose of their meeting was to pass sentence upon Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, who refused to acknowledge the Virgin Mary to be the Mother of God, denying that Christ was God and man in one and the same person, by what is called the hypostatical union; and asserting that the Godhead of the Son merely dwelt in the body of Christ, so that he was composed of two persons. The council was convened at the instigation of Cyril, bishop of Alexandria. The only Western bishops present at it, were Arcadius and Projectus, legates from the Roman See. John, bishop of Antioch, assembled a synod in opposition to this, which passed censure upon Cyril and those with him, who in their turn pronounced the same upon John and his adherents. By the interposition of the Emperor this breach was subsequently bound up, and the decrees of this council received at Antioch as elsewhere. Besides the condemnation of Nestorius, the synod passed two decrees, one concerning the faith, and the other concerning usurped ecclesiastical jurisdiction, by both of which the modern Church of Rome stands openly convicted of schism. (Socrates, Eccles. Hist. vii. 34; Evagrius, i. 3; Labbé and Cossart, iii. 1.)
Ephesus, A.D. 449. The style of a general council was assumed by the synod of 128 bishops, who at the command of the Emperor Theodosius assembled at Ephesus in the year 449 : the style of a general council was allowed it by Gregory the Great (1), who is cited by Labbé and Cossart (iii. 1471): and as far as regards the members of which the synod was composed, there being the four Eastern patriarchs present in person,
and the Western represented by his legates, it has greater claim to be considered general than many of those which have been generally received. But its proceedings having been interrupted by the rude and tumultuous violence of the soldiery and others, the council was broken up, and nothing which it determined has ever been recognized by the Catholic Church. It was convened at the instigation of Dioscorus, patriarch of Alexandria, to obtain a reversal of the sentence of condemnation passed against the heretic Eutyches, at the council of Constantinople the preceding year, by Flavianus, the patriarch of that See, and thirty other bishops. The Emperor Theodosius was himself a favourer of Eutyches. Dioscorus interrupted the proceedings with a band of soldiers, and 300 armed monks; compelled the bishops to pass sentence of condemnation upon Flavianus and others, and committed them to prison. It may serve to show the barbarity of the age to mention, that, upon Flavianus remonstrating, Dioscorus fell foul of him, and so kicked and bruised him, that he died of the injuries which he then received. (Labbé and Cossart, iv. 4, 5.)
IV. CHALCEDON, A.D. 451.
The fourth Council to which the style and authority of a General Synod has been allowed by the whole Church, is that of 630 bishops convened by the Emperor Marcian, first at Nice, and thence

Carlos Ghosn to be indicted on additional charge as early as Monday - NHK
FILE PHOTO - Carlos Ghosn, chairman and CEO of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, attends the Tomorrow In Motion event on the eve of press day at the Paris Auto Show, in Paris, France, October 1, 2018. REUTERS/Regis Duvignau/File Picture
TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo prosecutors are likely to indict former Nissan Motor Co Ltd Chairman Carlos Ghosn on an additional charge of aggravated breach of trust as early as Monday when his current detention period expires, public broadcaster NHK reported on Friday.
Ghosn was arrested for the fourth time this month on suspicion he tried to enrich himself at Nissan's expense, to the tune of $5 million. He is also awaiting trial on other charges of financial misconduct and aggravated breach of trust.
Ghosn, who had been released on $9 million bail in early March after spending 108 days in jail, has denied all allegations against him. His defence team has launched a public battle against the prosecutors, calling the latest arrest "illegal" in documents seen by Reuters.
Once celebrated as the saviour of a near-bankrupt Nissan 20 years ago, Ghosn has been ousted as chairman of Nissan, Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp since his arrest, threatening the stability of the auto-making alliance he masterminded.
He has said he is the victim of a boardroom coup.

Fall's almost here, and as much as I don't like cold weather, I'm excited about all of the rich textures this season brings. To help me transition, I've started pairing some of my summery things with cozy fabrics—like this lace top with a wool mini. When it starts getting really cold (which for me means anything below 65), it'll be easy to throw on a pair of tights and tall boots to stay warm.

HomePick of the Day1924 Ford Model T custom pickup
1924 Ford Model T custom pickup
By Bob Golfen
The 1924 Ford 'Tall T' custom pickup was created from a stock-body Model T truck
Texans ride tall in the saddle, they say, although this is probably not what they had in mind. The Pick of the Day might look like an odd custom-bodied creation, but the street rod actually was built from an authentic 1924 Ford Model T pickup, lofty roofline and all.
Dubbed the "Tall T" pickup, the truck is located in Arlington, Texas, so you might consider the T to stand for Texan. And while the custom truck's high center of gravity might not be so great for turning corners, it should be great at turning heads. Plus, plenty of room for a 10-gallon cowboy hat.
The Ford 'Tall T' looks to have plenty of headroom
"This is a classic where headroom is never a concern," the classic car dealer says in the ClassicCars.com listing. "That high roof line is all original to this Tall T pickup and sure does grab a lot of attention. You don't see a lot of these old pickups, and many that have seen this one report it's the very first."
Something about the visual contrast between the extra-tall cab and the crouching suspension works very well here, evoking a vintage Von Dutch vibe. The original four-piece hood has louvered side panels, and the chrome radiator shell is nestled behind original but lowered headlights, the seller notes. The chrome wheels are fitted with simple dog-dish hubcaps.
The doors are emblazoned with the vintage-style gold logo of the possibly mythical Swift Creek Ranch of Morgan, Texas.
The original hand crank still pokes out from under the radiator, although the truck now has an electric starter to cope with its hot-rodder-approved 383-stoker Chevy V8. The Tall T is easily drivable, the dealer adds, with a 700R4 automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, and air suspension. It's equipped for heavy hauling with a special towing package "built to handle pulling anything you put behind it."
The custom interior blends modern features with vintage accents, including a brass steering wheel and classic gauges. The height of the cab allows for two custom consoles, one on the floor and one coming down from the ceiling, which houses the audio system.
The asking price for this most-unusual piece of classic hot-rod finery is $34,350, which seems like a bargain considering the likely cost of construction. And it should be a real standout at any custom-car show.

RBS pays first dividend in decade
Copyright Reuters, 2018
LONDON: Britain's Royal Bank of Scotland paid its first dividend in a decade, returning 2 pence per share to around 190,000 shareholders who haven't seen a payout since RBS's government bailout in 2008.
The bank has spent the past ten years trying to return to its roots as a prudent lender following its near-collapse during the financial crisis, a process that has involved hefty restructuring costs and years of losses.
The bank's CEO Ross McEwan said the dividend was a small return for many years of patience from its shareholders, which still include the UK government after it bailed the bank out with 45.5 billion pounds at the peak of the crisis.
"This is another important milestone in our turnaround, almost ten years to the day that RBS was rescued by the British taxpayer," he said in a statement.
UK Government Investments, which manages Britain's remaining 62 percent stake in RBS, will receive around 240 million pounds from the payout, which was announced at the bank's half-year results.
The government resumed sales of its shares in the bank earlier this year, after RBS settled an investigation by U.S. authorities into its sale of toxic mortgage-backed securities in the run up to the crisis for $4.9 billion.
Even after this payment, the bank has a healthy level of excess capital which it plans to return to investors, including possibly via a special dividend or share buyback.

Intelsat continues investment in global 5G software-defined network
13 January 2022 Editor News, Technology Comments Off on Intelsat continues investment in global 5G software-defined network
This rendering represents the two Intelsat software-defined satellites, IS-41 and IS-44, with the corresponding antennas configuration (illustration: Thales Alenia Space)
Intelsat, operator of the world's largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, and Thales Alenia Space, Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%) have signed an agreement to build two software-defined satellites designed to advance Intelsat's global fabric of software-defined GEO connectivity as part of its 5G software-defined network.
The addition of the Thales Alenia Space software-defined satellites represents an essential advancement in Intelsat's 5G software-defined network designed to enable greater agility, flexibility and orchestration across edge, satellite and core. Named Intelsat 41 (IS-41) and Intelsat 44 (IS-44), the two next-generation software-defined satellites are scheduled to be in service in 2025. They will join two Airbus constructed software-defined satellites, Intelsat 42 (IS-42) and Intelsat 43 (IS-43), announced January 8, 2021.
Intelsat 41 and Intelsat 44 will be based on the Thales Alenia Space's innovative Space Inspire product line allowing seamless telecommunications mission and services reconfiguration, instant in-orbit adjustment to broadband connectivity demand, and superior video broadcasting performance while maximising the effective use of the satellite resources.
"Intelsat's standards-based, open-architecture network design facilitates the incorporation of the best technology at any given time, further bolstering network resiliency," says Stephen Spengler, CEO of Intelsat. "With the addition of Intelsat 41 and Intelsat 44, in partnership with Thales Alenia Space, Intelsat will blanket the earth with software-defined satellites, progressing the world's first global 5G software-defined network, designed to unify the global telecoms ecosystem."
The contract enables the continued advancement of Intelsat's planned global software-defined satellite-based network, adding high-speed dynamically allocated connectivity across Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia for commercial and government mobility services and cellular backhaul.
"Our relationship with Intelsat has been so meaningful knowing that our attractive Space Inspire software-defined solution will contribute to the realisation of Intelsat's global 5G software-defined unified network," says Hervé Derrey, CEO of Thales Alenia Space. "We are proud that our advanced satellite technology will play a significant role in Intelsat's vision to reimagine the global telecoms ecosystem."
