World Chess Champion Vladimir KRAMNIK: 'Now I have to relax…
Immediately after Topalov extended his hand in a sign of resigning the 4th tiebreak game, the crowd became ecstatic. There were shouts, applause, friendly slaps and handshakes… Kramnik got off the table, threw his fists in the sky, just like in Moscow 1994 after his sensational victory over Kasparov, and got into tight embrace of his manager Hensel. Other team members were also there – Illescas, Rublevsky, Motylev, Krylov, Rösch, and even the cook… In a few minutes the new 'absolute' FIDE world champion moved to the press conference hall, where he was warmly met by dozens of journalists.
– In a situation that was similar to yours Mikhail Tal said 'My head is filled with sun!' What were your first words after the match ended?
– I was very concentrated on the play, and even after I won the last game, I was still in a fighting mood. The moment after Veselin played 44…Rc5 was very emotional for me – I felt very happy. The joy passed after I replied 45.Rb7+. I need time to realize what happened. This was a very tough match, and I think I did a good job, considering the odds given to the opponent. Maybe it was the first case in the history of the world championship matches when one of the players had extra point and extra White. I am glad I managed to win under such circumstances.

13.10.2006 Tiebreak: Analysis by GM Vladimir Belov
Topalov,V - Kramnik,V [D19]
One has to note that despite short time control the game was played at the top level. Kramnik solved opening problems and seized the initiative, but Veselin confidently overcame the difficulties by making several accurate defensive moves. Topalov did not calm down, and expressed his ambitious style by sacrificing a pawn. His opponent repaid by unobvious 36...Nc4, getting rid of the problems. On the 42nd move Black could obtain a clearly better ending, but he missed the opportunity, and soon the resources were depleted.
13.10.2006 Gennady Namsinov: "In accordance with the FIDE Regulations"
Gennady Namsinov, head of the information resources department of the Republic of Kalmykia:
"In accordance with the FIDE Regulations"
–What is the structure of the technical security support of the match?
– First of all, I would like to underline the correct use of the technical terms. The Department of the Information Resources of the Republic of Kalmykia deals with the issues of information and technical security of the information. We will touch upon the issues of the informational security. These issues, according to the Match Organising Committee, have been carried out by the organizational, administrative and technological character in accordance with the FIDE Regulations. According to the Match Regulations, the play zone is lit up so that the audience sees the chess players from any point of the hall, and the players should not see the spectators and members of their teams. The stage is guarded by transparent glass shields, which are furnished with light curtain. These glass shields together with this curtain play a rolу of a sound shield and create comfortable conditions for the players. There are also videocameras in the play zone, which broadcast the images from the players' restrooms only for the Chief Arbiter and his Deputy, who are controlling the course of the game. All the video surveillance complex is meant for realization of general measures of the match security and is coordinated with the FIDE Regulations.
13.10.2006 Game 12. Vladimir KRAMNIK: 'I did my best, but alas…'
To our surprise, it was the first time when the players' assessment of the situation on board was diametrically opposite. Both claimed an advantage – maybe because both wanted to win the game and the match. However, it ended in a draw by perpetual, thus postponing the match conclusion by one day.
– Vladimir, what is your score against Topalov in rapid chess, and will it affect the outcome of the tiebreak in any way?
– The match booklet states it is +4 in my favor. However, it counts rapid and blindfold games to-gether. Will the score matter? I hope it will, but actually tiebreak is a lottery. A lot will depend on small details: luck, night's sleep, etc. It is impossible to predict the result. In principle, I already won the match from my point of view, so I think this will make playing easier for me.
13.10.2006 Game 12. Waiting for a lottery
The regulation time of the match ended in a draw – 6-6. This result was probably highly antici-pated by chess fans. Why? It's simple – everybody wants to see a real battle between Kramnik and Topalov, especially scheduled on Friday, 13th. The fact that the owner of the unified title will be determined in a quickplay is also very symbolic – chess is not stagnating, it is speeding up.
And still, I am sure Kramnik wanted to finish everything in the regulation time. Regardless of the match trends – and most experts agree with Topalov, who said he had a clear advantage – Vladimir did not deserve losing the Game 5. So he said at the press conference without hesitation that he considers himself a match winner. Had he won the Game 12, these words would have coincided with the reality…

Kramnik – Topalov [D12]
1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3. Vladimir was impressed by the way his opponent handled this variation, and he decides to give it a try with colors reversed.
4...Bf5 5.Nc3 e6 6.Nh4 Bg6 7.Nxg6 hxg6. This position suits ideally for the last game. White enjoys a comfortable plus, but Black's position is solid, and his play is simple.

11.10.2006 Game 11: Veselin TOPALOV: «I am like tabula rasa»
Traditional meeting with the press started with more than a half-hour delay. The reason was more than serious – Vladimir Kramnik and Veselin Topalov attended a doping control. Curiously, this topic was not discussed at the press conference at all – everybody got tired of toilet stories.
– Many games of this match are played under the motto 'Let the opponent offer a draw!' Why so? Nobody wants to yield?
– I didn't think in such terms today. The post-opening position was very close to equal, but Topalov had two bishops, which secured him slight advantage, so it was impolite for me to offer a draw. After White made a poor move 35.Be4, I could play for a win absolutely without risk, so then Veselin was not in a position to offer a draw. Still, the game was within limits of a draw all the time in my opinion.
11.10.2006 Game 11: Kramnik attacks?
During the whole match the team Kramnik took moderate wait-and-see attitude. They avoided conflict as much as possible, and only reacted to attacks from the other side.
However, as the match finish approached, the Russian initiated a counterattack. A few hours before the start of the Game 11, Carsten Hensel issued an open letter, clarifying Kramnik's position about FIDE decision regarding the Game 5. After the game Vladimir said that the goal of this letter was to confirm his position in anticipation of future legal actions, and ruled out a supposition that this was an attempt to exert psychological pressure on the opponent. However, it looked exactly so from the outside…
1.d4. Topalov does not please us with variety of first moves. However, we should not forget about his main trump – 1.е4.
1...d5 2.c4 c6 (Kramnik is also consistent, which is explicable and logical) 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 e6 (other continuations are 4...Bf5 and 4...a6) 5.Bd3 dxc4 6.Bxc4 c5. Here comes farewell of a Slav – a well known QGA position arose.
7.0-0 a6 8.Bb3 cxd4. Let us try why Black rushes with this exchange – 8...Nc6 allows the following regrouping: 9.Qe2 cxd4 10.Rd1 Be7 11.Nc3 0-0 12.Nxd4 Nxd4 13.exd4 Nd5 14.Qf3 Nxc3 15.bxc3 Qc7 16.Bf4. More principled 16.с4 gives White serious initiative: 16...Bd6 17.Bxd6 Qxd6 18.c4 Rb8 19.Rac1 Bd7 20.c5 Qc7 21.d5 (Leko-Karpov, Hungary, rapid 2006).
05.10.2006 A la guerre commes a la guerre
Kramnik's absence at the Game 5 combined with peculiarities of the match regulations inciden-tally forced Vladimir playing three Black game in a row. A fearful prospect for any opponent of 'new' Topalov! However, judging by the course of today's encounter, Vladimir took this unex-pected punishment almost gladly: he repelled Veselin's opening pressure so confidently that the Bulgarian, instead of lambent attacks, had to turn to careful defending.
Topalov's first move was accompanied by a protest letter, which becomes a tradition in Elista. This time his manager brought to our attention percentages of Kramnik's moves coinciding with the main line of Fritz9. Curiously, the highest number – 87% – was registered in the second game, in which both opponents missed a checkmate in several moves. This was not another appeal, but rather decla-ration of war.

We hereby acknowledge the receipt of your Appeal dated October the 2nd, 2006 addressed to this Committee.

03.10.2006 Who will become a Hero of Kalmykia?
The press conference after the Game 6 was greatly anticipated. The match has continued, Topalov shook hands with Kramnik, and the latter easily made a draw, playing Black. In addition, FIDE President took the seat between the players, so there were quite a few questions…
Kirsan ILYUMZHINOV: Dear Vladimir, dear Veselin, on behalf of the FIDE leadership and millions of chess fans all over the world, let me express great gratitude for you for coming to this game and resuming the World Chess Championship match! Thank you for your courageous decision!
– Veselin, one of the statements issued by your team asserted that you will not shake hands with Vladimir and will not participate in joint press conferences…
Veselin TOPALOV: Perhaps it sounded too emotional; there is nothing for me to be proud of. I shook hands with Kramnik, and the match continued. I believe that his play is fair, and my decision to continue the match proves it. We are humans, and sometimes we make mistakes.
03.10.2006 Game 6: Everything is at stake
We missed chess so much! The days of unexpected rest and political battles have extremely exhausted everybody – I don't think it was half as tiring as the longest and most tense games. It is a miracle that the players even sat at the board…
Slav Defence D17
Veselin Topalov - Vladimir Kramnik
Game 6. The 5th game, in which Kramnik had to have White, was not played. Resuming the play as Black with the score 3-2 is a brave decision – in case of a defeat the classical champion risked losing all his advantage. Bravo, Vladimir! The match goes on – hurrah!

Examples Of Private Persona In The Great Gatsby
How are people's private personas different from their public personas? While some people may be the same in public as they are in private, others are not. Authors tend to use this as a way to make unique characters in their novels. F. Scott Fitzgerald applies this characteristic on a character named Gatsby in The Great Gatsby. In the beginning of the book, Gatsby is perceived as rich and wealthy. Throughout the book, readers discover a hidden personality of Gatsby that makes him unlike his public persona. Through Gatsby's characterization, Fitzgerald really emphasizes on the fact that not everybody is the same in private as they are in public. Gatsby's public persona is powerful and rich because that is how he wants people to view him. Gatsby…show more content…
In contrast, Gatsby's private persona is he has unrealistic expectations. For example, when Jordan tells Nick about Gatsby's parties she says, "I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties, some night, but she never did" (79). This shows that Gatsby is delusional because he only threw extravagant parties to attract Daisy. Gatsby has this childish illusion based on his dreams of Daisy which makes him get deeper in this fantasy world he wants. Another example that shows Gatsby is unrealistic is when Nick looks at Gatsby before leaving him alone with Daisy. Nick says, "I saw that the expression of bewilderment had come back into Gatsby's face, as thought a faint of doubt had occurred to him as to the quality of his present happiness" (95). This shows that even though Gatsby has Daisy, he does not feel like his current happiness is enough and he is not satisfied with it. Gatsby thinks Daisy could be perfect for him but his fantasy of Daisy that he has created is much more important to him. Nick goes into more details about Gatsby's idea of Daisy and says, "There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams-- not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion" (95). Nick is saying that Gatsby has this impossible imagination of Daisy that even she can not live up to his standards. Gatsby's
Illusion And Reality In The Great Gatsby
There are various passages regarding the effects of characters struggling with illusion and reality. As Nick and Gatsby are driving, Gatsby tells Nick all about his worldly lifestyle and about all of his accomplishments, such as being educated at Oxford and receiving a war decoration from "every Allied government - even Montenegro, little Montenegro down on the Adriatic Sea!" (Fitzgerald). Gatsby also describes how he "lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe — Paris, Venice, Rome — collecting jewels, chiefly rubies, hunting big game, painting a little" (Fitzgerald). Nick believes Gatsby to be lying; he thinks that all of his accomplishments and experiences sound too outrageous to be true.
Wealth And Happiness In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great G
The Great Gatsby: Wealth and Happiness The American Dream is the idea that wealth, love, and power can be successfully attained if one were to work wholeheartedly and diligently. The novel, The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald portrays a young man named Gatsby, who on the surface seems to have attained this American Dream. This idea is emphasized with him owning a large mansion followed by the influence he has over people from the power of his money. However, the audience finds that his motivation to achieve this path is upheld through his infatuation with Daisy.
Homosexuality In The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby: Analysis The Great Gatsby is a novel about a man named Nick Carraway. Nick is the narrator and is the neighbor of a very wealthy man who goes by the name, Gatsby. Throughout the novel, it is made clear that all of the men are womanizers, including Nick.
Describe The Relationship Between Gatsby And Daisy's Life
During the tea meeting and tour of Gatsby's mansion set up for Daisy and Gatsby set up by Nick it is clear that Gatsby is acting differently than normal. Nick gets the sense that he is embarrassed by Daisy's clear happiness to see him again. By the end of the night it is clear the Nick that the reunion of the two (Gatsby and Daisy) has changed both of their lives forever. But Nick sense in a peculiar way that Daisy might not feel the same way about Gatsby. Gatsby spent the last five years on one goal alone.
The Transformative Nature Of Gatsby's Character
Walzzor makes a compelling point on this question, pointing out the performative nature of Gatsby 's character. Gatsby is not only hiding his past from society (for the most part), he has also created a role for himself. The "monied man with manners and grace" might be one way to term the part he plays for society, covering his humble background. Gatsby is not Gatsby but Jimmy Gatz, a poor boy from the Midwest--like Nick Carraway--who happened upon a chance that took him away from his life and gave him the opportunity to move into a different world.
The Great Gatsby Obscene Word Analysis
As the embodiment of the American Dream, Gatsby is both present and unreachable. Gatsby, although corrupt for most of the novel, turns out "alright" in the end. In her article, "The Great Gatsby and the Obscene Word", the author, Barbra Will, focuses on how Gatsby's characterization and the obscene word on his steps complete the ending to The Great Gatsby. With his past life being full of corruption, the audience, as well as Nick, is forced to forget about Gatsby's past.
Why Is Thinking Important In The Great Gatsby
Each individual has their own perception of people and events, along with the unique impact it may have on them. This concept can be accurately portrayed in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is able to describe each character's process of thinking in a way that puts a reader in the forefront of that character's thinking and emotion. Each character has a different way of thinking and decision making process. The usage of literature and celebrated classics, such as The Great Gatsby, are able to expand a reader's understanding of the complexity of human life.
Mansion In The Great Gatsby
Fitzgerald uses Gatsby's mansion to represent the diversity and the opposition between Gatsby's outside appeal and his contrasting inner dissatisfaction. The physical enormity of the mansion alongside the material treasures held within it portrays a sense of fulfillment to all of gatsby's guests and friends. However when the parties end and all the people leave, "a sudden emptiness [seems] to flow from the windows and the great doors, endowing [in] complete isolation the figure of [Gatsby]" (Fitzgerald, 60). The picture of one man inside of this mansion of a thousand rooms highlights the loneliness and isolation that Gatsby is surrounded by. Due to his prominent isolation Gatsby is unable to form close bonds and relationships with the people around him, which leads to his intense and lurking emotional emptiness.
What Is The Theme Of The Great Gatsby Movie

More about Examples Of Private Persona In The Great Gatsby


I like the future. Why? At the age of 13, I realized it was promised to no one. When we have an accident, tragedy strikes, or we go through near-death experiences, how do we handle it?
Not by ignoring it, that's for sure. Each person has their own way.
Nobody I know has a life shielded from these events, and the way they handle them or the way they help those around them that are going through them is a strong indicator of moral conscience. I will discuss eight incidents in my life and how they affected me (and others) and try to make some sense of how we handle times of trouble.
At my house in Sunnyvale, California one evening, I was watching over my two younger sisters. Three days after my thirteenth birthday, my parents had gone out to something. My two older brothers were out of the house (my brother Tom had joined the US Air Force, and was soon to leave for basic training). So, when the call came from Michigan, I answered it, and I found myself speaking to my aunt Alice. My grandfather Howard, my father's father, had died.
Though I was only 13, I knew that people used different words when referring to death. Alice used the phrase "passed on" and I instantly understood. At that age, you really don't quite know how to process this kind of news, though you certainly know what it means.
I knew my grandfather and I loved him a lot. I remember the trips to Lake Bogart, near Marcellus. My father's parents lived in very modest means. Catching fireflies in the temperate evenings. Talking to grandpa about cars and refrigerators. Watching grandma crochet rugs in bright colors and patterns.
So, at the moment I said goodbye to Alice and hung up the phone, I began to think. What would happen if my father died? How would I take it?
My conclusion was that I would have to approach the matter with delicacy. But, at 13, I knew very little of this kind of problem.
When my parents came home, I heard the car door slam and I moved close to the front door, which had three steps down to the door and waited at the top of the stairs. They entered the house and I waited for the door to close. My dad looked at me standing there and cocked his head fractionally. Perhaps he thought there had been a problem with my younger sisters.
I said, "Dad," and I paused to make sure he was listening. Then I said, "your father has died". I wasn't happy about the news either, so my voice did have some sympathy in it, and I hoped, the proper amount of gravity.
He was stricken by the news, and backed up a few inches to the door, but he didn't turn away. My mom was there too, and was probably just trying to process the news. She held him then and I went down the steps to join in. It wasn't easy for anyone.
As a testament to my wonderful parents, they took my grandmother in. At that point, she already had cancer and so she spent the last six months of her life in our family room crocheting a nice colorful rug for me and sweaters for my sisters. Talking and talking. I was really too young to understand that nobody really survives stage-4 lung cancer.
But one day, I noticed her makeshift accommodations were gone and another day I knew she had passed on as well.
I was 22 and driving to and from UC Berkeley every day from Santa Clara where my (then) wife Josie and I had an apartment. Driving back took me down 237 and past the tracks just south of Alviso, where there was a stoplight. Today there is no stoplight at the tracks, since they built an overpass many years ago. Now, that light was rarely red because the train passed infrequently. And the intersection was really not that well maintained. When the light went yellow, the person in front of me stopped suddenly.
I was driving a very small manual transmission Dodge Colt at the time at a speed that left me unprepared and that car did not handle gravel well. It began to fishtail as I attempted to stop. The next few seconds became a blur to me, but what happened was that I was almost able to avoid the car in front of me, except that the tail end of my car scraped the tail section of that car on the way past. My car hit an abutment at the side of the road and bounced off with a horrible crunch. Still moving on the rebound, my car came to a rest on the tracks, stalled, in third gear.
And the train was barreling down on me from the left.
So there I was, with my car stalled, my seatbelt tight (they get tighter when sudden jarring motions occur), and a train coming at me fast. I turned my head ninety degrees to the left to see the train. At the rate it was traveling, the massive train would strike me in five seconds or so.
I popped the clutch, moved the stick shift into neutral, reached for the key and cranked it. Once.
Unfortunately, the car didn't start.
I quickly considered trying to undo my seatbelt, open the door, abandon of the car, then run away from the tracks. I had a premonition that this course of action would simply take too much time. So I pumped the gas once and carefully turned the key again.
I popped the clutch, put it in first, and drove off the tracks, parking myself near an abutment on the other side. And that's when all the events finally caught up with me. I closed my eyes. All I could think was that I had to wait for the other guy whose car had been grazed. I reached for my wallet and my insurance card.
And tried to calm my nerves.
To say that I was jittery, exhilarated, frightened: that would all have been a naive understatement. All I could think was: did that just happen?
When the guy in the other car stopped behind me and got out, he came to my window and said something like, "Woo hoo! That was a close one! Are you OK, buddy?" I said that I was, but I was concerned about the damage to his car. He was dismissive. "Don't worry about the damage to my car: it's nothing. I'm not even going to make a claim. You're just lucky to be alive!" Then he added, "It looks like your car got the worst of it anyway."
I honestly didn't know what he meant until I stepped outside the car and saw that the entire passenger side was messed up by its collision with the earthen abutment before I wound up stalled on the tracks.
Luckily the car would still drive, but it needed repair. So I drove it home, confessed to Josie, who was mad as hell, and arranged to have it repaired. And it was expensive, for sure! I was working at Calma at the time, so I could (barely) afford the repairs. And they took some time.
I got out the ten-speed bike and worked out a way I could ride to the Fremont BART station. Even though the car had been fixed, it seems that Josie had landed a job and so she had need for it. My daily bicycle journey got me up at 6:00 AM, took me up Lawrence Expressway, east on 237 across the Abel street overpass (which gave me the toughest workout on the path), and up Warm Springs road, and so to the Fremont BART station where I caught a train to Berkeley. And then back each afternoon. I ended up riding forty miles a day for several months.
I secured a bike locker at the Fremont BART station and stocked it with extra tires and inner tubes. And I got really good at avoiding rocks on Warm Springs road. I could repair nearly anything on my bike with the tools and supplies in my pack. And fortunately at my work, which was the Lakeside Drive location of Calma, there was a shower I could use at the end of my day. Before working for many hours.
So, at the tender age of 23, I was in the best shape of my life and working for a computer graphics company. Funny what accidents can lead to.
In the winter of 1982 I went out on my first cross-country ski trip with three other friends: George, John, and Norman (who was really a friend of George). I had really never been on skis before. One of the guys had borrowed a large blue station wagon with chunky-looking snow tires.
The plan was to drive to Owens Valley, traverse to Palisades glacier, and do some glacier climbing. Little did I realize how insane this scheme was at the time.
George, John, and I had been friends working for Tom Hedges at Calma, in the systems group. We were wild a crazy in those days.
When we got to the parking area it was mid-afternoon and we all got our skis on, our packs on our backs, with tent and climbing gear, and headed off into the snow. George was breaking trail.
It turned out that it was snowing. Actually, it was snowing quite a bit! What we didn't know was that it was a portion of the worst winter storm in years, and was leaving a lot of snow on the slopes.
So the going was rough. George was having a hard time breaking trail, and so Norman and George traded off. We weren't making as much progress as we wanted.
And it was getting dark. You see, Owens Valley is kind of a bowl valley, and the sun set a bit earlier than we figured. Soon it was pitch dark and we were using small flashlights to light our way through waist-deep snow. Not good.
George started having problems. He experienced a dry heave or two and notified us that he probably couldn't go on for a bit. A group decision was made to pitch camp where we were, which was on a slope. We took off our skis, stuck them straight up in the snow, through the straps in our packs, and proceeded to carefully unpack the tent poles and canvas.
Now, we were aware of the danger of avalanches and so we tried to keep quiet when pitching the tent and setting up camp, but obviously we just couldn't be quiet enough.
I remember hearing a buzz. The kind that you can feel in your jaw and in your guts. It was the sound of the snow coming down the slope directly at us and the friction of masses of snow against the snow pack underneath it. I will never forget that sound.
Nor will I ever forget the reality of being instantly surrounded by a numbing cold, swimming in it, and then frozen into place.
An avalanche had struck. OMG.
My hands were above me and I could feel that they were free of the snow. I was on the downslope of the group, and so I struggled at methodically working my way out of the snow. Norman had also gotten out, and we worked on getting the others out of the snow as well.
We had discussed creating a breathing space with your hands when an avalanche hit, and apparently everybody but me had done that. But my arms had provided some breathing room, luckily.
Once we were all out of the snow, we quickly realized couldn't dig our our packs or skis and so we were resigned to walk through waist-deep snow.
The first miracle was that the storm had cleared up at just that moment, and the stars and moon were visible, majestic. So we could see snow surface a little bit. The second miracle was that, after some very difficult walking and coming to a close-by rise, we saw a tiny light in the distance. We knew it was a lodge, because we had been consulting a map before we began our ski trek. So without flashlights and skis, we at least had a goal. We knew there were streams in between us and the lodge because of the map. The real question was whether the snow pack would hold as we forded them.
Falling into a stream under several feet of snow was likely an unpleasant end.
And, as it turned out, it was the hardest march of my life.
I had worn blue jeans and I wasn't aware that cotton was not what you wanted to wear under these conditions. The gaiters just weren't cutting it in the waist-deep snow. If I had been wearing wool pants, I'm sure it wouldn't have been as difficult.
By the time we made it to the snow-slush road that led to the lodge, my legs were simply made of rubber. I could barely go on. In this case, John proved to be the iron man, and commanded us all to man up and make it to the lodge.
When we got there, there couldn't have been a greater contrast. We opened the door and there were about four groups sitting at a table having wine and eating their dinner with pleasant candle light, and a nice fire. We came in, without money or packs, a miserable, wet, frozen group of four hikers. We sat beside the fire for a bit, gathering our warmth and wits. Tears of joy commingled with misery were shed.
The lodge folk kindly agreed to put us up for a night with the agreement that, in the morning, we would recover our packs and skis and pay them.
They were a life saver, literally. I remember playing their upright piano. For me, it was to work out my frayed emotions and to recover my inner calm. For the people eating dinner, it was probably just a bit of entertainment.
The next day, we were able to find our stuff, recover our packs, and return to pay our kind hosts. And pay them many thanks as well.
That may have been the closest I came to dying. And the worst part is we had plenty of time to know we might die. But at least there was tiny speck of hope. And a happy ending. The next year, and many years thereafter, I went back to cross-country skiing.
And I made sure to wear wool pants.
In 2000, my oldest daughter was two and we had a six-week-old baby. I took to running at Manresa State Beach for a few miles each day, to keep in shape, and I was doing great, health-wise.
On a beautiful late spring day, Mary and I decided to take our daughters out to Anna Jean Cummings park in Soquel to the playground. That park is known as "blue ball park" because it has several blue spheres set onto the side of it, made of concrete. Each is five or six foot in diameter. You can't miss them. The lower parking lot was completely filled up, so I dropped them off and went to park on the upper area.
I decided to scramble down the steep slope to the park. And for a while it was going pretty well. And then I lost control and bounded some very hard steps down. There was so much force, I knew my hips and legs were going to suffer.
And they definitely did hurt at the time. But some months later, that turned into disabling pain. My reaction wasn't optimal: I toughed it out, living with pain in every step. Only looking forwards to the time that I could sit down. In 2002 I couldn't walk at all without terrible pain, and so I consulted an orthopedic specialist. It turned out I had Avascular Necrosis, or AVN.
This ailment happens when the blood supply to the bone in a joint dries up and the bones in the joint start to grind and pulverize. To me this happened bilaterally in both hips, at the ball joints where the femurs meet the pelvis. What happens is that an edema forms and the terrible pressure causes unbelievable pain.
And it can't be cured.
Since both my hips were affected, I had one operation in late 2002 and another in late 2003 to have the edemas relieved. This meant drilling through the angled length at the top of the femur, removing the edema, packing the hole with dry white bone mixed with human growth hormone (HGH) made from my own blood, and sewing me up.
Each time, I was on crutches for 12-14 weeks post-op. I slowly recovered my walking abilities. The pain was once again tolerable but never really gone.
I used a little morphine after each operation. They give you a little clicker to administer it. But I was convinced it didn't actually do anything. After the first operation I may have used codeine once or twice. In the second operation, I didn't use morphine or codeine at all.
I just don't like painkillers.
I had done my research after the diagnosis and determined that most likely the AVN had been caused by a large dose of prednisone I received when recovering from some very bad poison oak. So prescription meds were my enemy.
So I live with the pain. And now it's about time to get hip replacements. Which I understand will really fix things up. Until they need to be adjusted.
I've been waiting for the technology of hip replacements to get better. And apparently it has. My orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Abidi, is a genius, so I'm not really worried.
For the last several years I have had limited mobility, some pain, a couple of times when I couldn't walk without crutches for 2 days, and a disabled placard. During the worst pain, I actually had to take some ibuprofen. Twice in as many years. And I can't even think about riding a horse or a motorcycle. walking for any long distance, or particularly standing in one place is hard. Sometimes agonizing. But, at present, it's no great concern, and I manage quite well considering.
For those of you who read my blog post where I chronicled the Steve Jobs memorial at Apple, you should know that I was in agony for most of it, because there was no place to sit down.
Maybe with hip replacements I can get back to running.
And at blue ball park, they finally put in some stairs right where it all started.
We knew Mike and Mary Melville for years because Mary and my wife, also named Mary, were in the same birthing class in 1998. Their daughter Emily and our daughter Helen were the best of friends. They had many a play date together. We visited them a few times at their house, and I was aware that Mike owned and managed an auto repair shop in Santa Cruz. We went to Emily's birthday parties, and they came to kids' birthdays as well.
We honestly enjoyed being with them.
On May 5, 2006, our friends Mike and Mary Melville were coming back from Disneyland with their two children in their Toyota Sienna near Paso Robles. From northbound 5, Mike had decided to take the 46 cutoff through Paso Robles and so over to 101. Somewhere in front of them on that two-lane road, a motorist decided he wanted to pass, although there was a double-yellow line. Little did he know that a Mack truck was coming his way, in the other direction. The truck swerved to avoid him, and that's when the Melville's Sienna was hit head-on.
Mike, Mary, and little fifteen-month-old Katie were killed instantly. There was nothing left of the front seat. In the back, little eight-year-old Emily got a skull fracture, several broken ribs, and a broken collarbone.
She was the sole survivor of the Melville family.
My wife Mary was heartbroken by the tragedy. She really knew Mary Melville well, and probably saw her twice a week. To have friends die for no apparent reason, and just out-of-the-blue was unthinkable. How could God let such a thing happen, she wondered?
This shows that, when tragedy strikes, it can easily be something that is totally out of our control, like a plane crash or a meteor falling from the sky.
Emily pulled through and Mary's family, the Garcias, stepped up. They are wonderful folk. Mary's younger sister Michele became Emily's guardian and still cares for her to this day.
Emily has grown into a wonderful young teen with a fabulous smile (yes, those are braces!) and she has a stand-up cutout of Justin Bieber in her room. We last saw Emily and Michele shortly before Christmas. And a week before that we all went to the Christmas Lights train in Santa Cruz.
In the aftermath of the accident, we gave all the support we could to the Garcias. There is no doubt that staying in touch with them and being at Garcia family events from time to time is a real privilege for us.
In mid-November 2007, my family and I were visiting San Diego. On November 15th or so, Daryl Wise called me and told me that Tom Hedges had died.
We all expected it could happen sometime. After the cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, he had various treatments, including radiation treatment on the lymph node in his neck. This caused neuropathy that caused his fingers to tingle, then get numb, then his hands didn't work so well. Eventually it progressed into his arms and then his lungs had a hard time doing their work. On his 57th birthday that April, I saw him and he wasn't looking good at all.
We had tickets to visit Disneyland. A day or so later, I got another call from Daryl that the memorial was going to be right in the middle of our booked stay at the Disneyland Hotel.
On November 19, 2007 I took my family to Disneyland. The kids were so happy to go there and we were all having fun. For me, it was just a bit of a strain walking all over. But I managed nonetheless.
I skipped the notes and gave a sigh and made mention that it was strange to see Tom in this way. I felt that, at any moment, he would get up, look over my shoulder, and say "what the f**k's the deal, Mark?" like he so often did.
Because he was constantly working on electronics, Tom was known as Tuner to his family.
Today, the LA smog was so thick it strongly reminded me of Caltech in 1975 when Art Collmeyer called me in Chem lab to offer me a job. You see, Calma, where Art worked, was where I met Tom.
Then, Tom was a towering, grinning guy with a chipped tooth and frizzy long hair drawn into a pony tail like kewpee troll!
Soon I was to realize he was exceptional in every way. Calma was also where Tom met Robin.
Eventually I came to work for him in the Calma systems group.
This situation was swapped later when we created Fractal Design but I don't think it made much of a difference to our working relationship. Tom and I were partners for at least 17 years at Fractal.
In the late 80s Tom was diagnosed with lymphoma and treated with chemo and radiation therapy. I remember sitting with Tom as the chemicals went in and later until 2AM when the nausea subsided. They say that what doesn't kill you just makes you stronger but that just wasn't true in his case. Soon thereafter, buzzed on some whacky steroid (megadoses of prednisone, again), and forewarned not to, he showed up at my house in Aptos and promptly caught chicken pox from my stepdaughter Freja. That nearly killed him because his immune system was in a weakened state from the chemo.
At the hospital I visited him. There he said to me, "Mark, you can be president."
That's probably the only reason I became the CEO of Fractal Design.
Before that we co-authored two software products named ImageStudio and ColorStudio. Our product manager at Letraset, Marla Milne, made an altered group portrait of Tom's family where the entire family had the same distinctive chipped tooth! Tom had it fixed within a week!
Fractal saw Tom and I through some pretty wild times and a hell of a lot of hard work.
It was a heavy scene. So many good friends from Calma, from Fractal Design, Metacreations, and from his family were there to see him off.
And afterwards, I boarded the plane and headed back to Disneyland, shaken. He's really gone.
I think having to tell my father when I was 13 that his dad had died might have prepared me for that moment.
But it's another thing seeing your friend dead.
That next year, I was coming back from a very late event, driving on 17. It was pitch black and there was a terrible rainstorm. My usual path over the hill, which is to take 17 to Summit Road to San Jose-Soquel road and down the hill with fewer problems, wasn't available because a tree had fallen across the road. So I backtracked to 17 and headed south towards Santa Cruz. The rain was so hard that areas of the road were flooded and my little roadster would hydroplane. So I kept it kind of slow and was extraordinarily careful.
When I got to Laurel curve I suddenly noticed down the straightaway in front of me that a large truck, perhaps a Ford F-350, had careened out of control on the other side of the concrete barrier that separated me from the ongoing traffic. The truck hit the center divide and, because it was so tall, tilted over and literally flew through the air, seven feet above my lane! Because it was still in the air, and I was so close to it by that time, I simply hit the accelerator and zoomed directly under it.
I can remember thinking "YES! I'm still alive!"
And I was around the next curve and so I couldn't see what had happened behind me. As I considered pulling over and trying to help whoever had the misfortune of crashing, I realized that if I parked at the side of this busy narrow mountain road under these conditions, that my life expectancy would be about thirty seconds. This was clearly true since you could barely see the lines on the road and the rain was torrential.
Again, the exhilaration, jittery nerves, and fright all at once.
I dialed 911 and reported the crash and made it safely home twenty-five minutes later. Oh. My. God.
When my dad died on April 29, 2011, I was at home. My brother Tom called me and gave me the bad news. My father had been diagnosed with heart problems and his heart couldn't pump enough blood to keep him awake. Consequently, he was on oxygen all the time. I snapped his picture on my iPhone 4 at Pea Soup Andersen's a mere 5 days before he passed.
We had a memorial service and a viewing. I gave him my best send-off, with lots of great memories, lots of stories, and lots of love.
He always had good things to say about people and he was never irascible like some get when they are in their 80s.
Now it has all come full-circle. My dad lived a lot longer than his dad. Probably because he didn't smoke.
Having a friend die and then having your father die has been a difficult and emotional experience. But it has taught me something: enjoy your life while you are still around to enjoy it.
There have been several moments in my life when I could easily have died. I know Im lucky to have survived my life so far. And I'm grateful to be here.
After death takes someone you know or love, take time to process it. work it over in your mind. Come to peace with it. Remember the good things.
And the bad things, if they exist, you should work out as well. Go ahead and rail. Don't lock the feelings inside. Shed some tears to help yourself grieve.
Write something about the person who's passed. It will help with the memories, and also help to put the event into perspective.
After a near-death experience, it is equally important to take time to process the event. Consider what you would do differently next time.
When a near-death experience is the result of something you could not control, it is usually much worse to process. Sometimes this can lead to a loss of faith, and a negative view of the world filled with perfidy and a general lack of justice.
And sometimes, it can lead to a loss of innocence. Or, if processed correctly, it can lead to an inner strength that can help you cope with such events in your future.
There is only one copy of each of us (and each moment in time and experience) forever. The universe is irreversible. Good luck with the hips. I am suffering from blindness in one eye, and neuropathy in my feet and spreading. Still athletic, but don't know for how much longer. 46. Loved all the human stories. RIP Tom.
I have been blind in one eye since birth. Actually, I can see out of it, but nothing is recognizable due to optic nerve damage. It just gets filtered out by the brain.
I often have the illusion (sensation) that I am seeing out of both eyes. I don't know if my brain is interpolating based on accumulated experience before the blinding event in my mid-30s, or perhaps aided by the very dim and extremely cloudy and blurry vision I get in bright light with the blinded eye. I have to close the left eye, to see the darkness in the right eye. As I am looking at the screen now, I appear to see brightness from both eyes.
I can still shoot a basketball, and can now make a reasonable percentage of shots with both eyes closed, after glancing at my distance and orientation.
Yes, I have compensating behavior that helps me. In the dark, I can navigate perfectly from memory, for instance. My depth perception is really good when it comes to fitting a car into a tight space. It unnerves those in the car with me. Tight lanes and curvy roads don't faze me at all. Perhaps is just experience, but it really is uncommon for a monocular person to have these traits.
I can only call them compensating behavior. Like a totally blind person having the best hearing.

Jeremy Clarkson Finally Reveals His Car of the Year — And It's Not His Favorite FSO Polonez!
Luxury Cars July 5, 2019
Every car enthusiast knows the name of Jeremy Clarkson. The renowned television show host snagged the title of an auto guru not only because of his extensive knowledge when it comes to automobiles and his impressive car collection but also because he was the original host of the prestigious show, Top Gear.
Jeremy Clarkson hosted Top Gear from 1988 to 2015
Clarkson's notable records made him an important figure in the automobile industry. That's why millions of his fans and car enthusiasts flock his social media accounts or segments to get the latest updates, tips, and advice when it comes to cars.
What fans most look forward to is his list of best auto picks, which he reveals every year. While we're still in the second quarter of 2019, let's reminisce Clarkson's 2018 Car of the Year and why this vehicle is an incredible choice no matter what color you choose.
After receiving his inaugural award at The Sun newspaper and The Sunday Times' conjunction ceremony, Clarkson was bombarded by requests from fans who eagerly anticipated for him to reveal his favorite car of the year. And the renowned journalist surprised everyone by choosing the Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
Clarkson's pick came out as a surprise to his fans considering his strange fascination to FSO Polonez.
For the past year, no other notable vehicles had gotten Clarkson's attention like the Huracan Performante. While its speed and powerful features are on par with the brand's reputation, Clarkson says that it is Huracan's aesthetic look that set it apart from the rest.
Despite Clarkson's controversial pick, most car experts lauded his choice. According to them, Lamborghini's Huracan features an astounding V10 engine capable of running at a top speed of 202 miles/hour which makes it a beauty and a beast.
Kim Kardashian also has a Huracan Performante in her stunning automobile collection
It can also accelerate up to 62 miles/hour under 2.9 seconds and holds an astounding lap record of 6:52:01. The vehicle also has aerodynamics system as well as aero vectoring. Here are other stunning collections hiding inside Clarkson's garage.
Seeing as Clarkson loves to collect supercars with blinding speed and power features, he instantly fell in love with Lamborghini's Spyder. He bought the said vehicle for an astounding $209,000 after he tested it on Top Gear.
Clarkson had his Aston Martin customized to become bigger and bulkier to accommodate to his sprawling height. The vehicle features a powerful v12 engine and a petrol head that can go up to 186 miles/hour and can accelerate up to 62 miles/hour in just 4.6 seconds. This vehicle may not be famous like other Aston Martin models, but Clarkson loves his automobile nonetheless.
Lotus Elise 111S
This hybrid vehicle features a VVC Rover K-Series engine and WT type technology to produce an astounding 143 brake horsepower. What makes this supercar appealing to the car enthusiasts (aside from its sleek look) is its relatively affordable $60,000 base price.

In adults with postherpetic neuralgia, NEURONTIN may be initiated on Day 1 as a single 300 mg dose, on Day 2 as 600 mg/day (300 mg two times a day), and on Day 3 as 900 mg/day (300 mg three times a day). The dose can subsequently be titrated up as needed for pain relief to a dose of 1800 mg/day (600 mg three times a day). In clinical studies, efficacy was demonstrated over a range of doses from 1800 mg/day to 3600 mg/day with comparable effects across the dose range; however, in these clinical studies, the additional benefit of using doses greater than 1800 mg/day was not demonstrated.
The starting dose is 300 mg three times a day. The recommended maintenance dose of NEURONTIN is 300 mg to 600 mg three times a day. Dosages up to 2400 mg/day have been well tolerated in long-term clinical studies. Doses of 3600 mg/day have also been administered to a small number of patients for a relatively short duration, and have been well tolerated. Administer NEURONTIN three times a day using 300 mg or 400 mg capsules, or 600 mg or 800 mg tablets. The maximum time between doses should not exceed 12 hours.
The starting dose range is 10 mg/kg/day to 15 mg/kg/day, given in three divided doses, and the recommended maintenance dose reached by upward titration over a period of approximately 3 days. The recommended maintenance dose of NEURONTIN in patients 3 to 4 years of age is 40 mg/kg/day, given in three divided doses. The recommended maintenance dose of NEURONTIN in patients 5 to 11 years of age is 25 mg/kg/day to 35 mg/kg/day, given in three divided doses. NEURONTIN may be administered as the oral solution, capsule, or tablet, or using combinations of these formulations. Dosages up to 50 mg/kg/day have been well tolerated in a long-term clinical study. The maximum time interval between doses should not exceed 12 hours.
The use of NEURONTIN in patients less than 12 years of age with compromised renal function has not been studied.
Administer NEURONTIN orally with or without food.
NEURONTIN capsules should be swallowed whole with water.
Inform patients that, should they divide the scored 600 mg or 800 mg NEURONTIN tablet in order to administer a half-tablet, they should take the unused half-tablet as the next dose. Half-tablets not used within 28 days of dividing the scored tablet should be discarded.
If the NEURONTIN dose is reduced, discontinued, or substituted with an alternative medication, this should be done gradually over a minimum of 1 week (a longer period may be needed at the discretion of the prescriber).


I am sure I mentioned at some point on the blog or on social media about my Migraines and how from a young age the only trigger I could find was either hormonal changes i.e pregnancy or strangely...peanut butter!
I was very excited to discover a product called Wowbutter about a year ago which is made from Soy Beans and no word of a lie tastes just like peanut butter. It even comes with little stickers for lunchboxes to let schools know there isn't real peanuts inside!
Tesco now stock WowButter! Eep!
As part of their great selection of Nut Free products Tesco stock a variety of products from cereals to crisps and of course the delicious Wowbutter. This stuff is great in sandwiches, on toast, in baking and anywhere else you might use regular peanut butter. Emma from The Mini Mes and Me has a fab recipe for Nut Free Chocolate and Wowbutter Fudge!
Not only do they have Nut Free products but as part of their lifestyle range they stock tonnes more Free From ranges including gluten, wheat and lactose free foods.
Ted has tried the lactose free chocolate buttons, I found the flavour a little bit off and it tasted similar to American chocolate with that funny texture too. We also gave the gluten free Free From Cereal's a whirl, I am going to be honest here and say the flavours weren't up to much but if your children have an intolerance and still want to enjoy breakfast cereal's I suppose they have the textures and novelty that kid's cereals have.
There is a great special offer on the Tesco Free From ranges at the moment Any 4 for 3 Cheapest Product FREE!


Fashion exists through its representation. As Roland Barthes suggests, this is not 'real clothing' burdened with practical considerations, but 'image clothing' whose purpose is to signify symbolic meaning.[i] The fashion image, be it photograph, film or catwalk performance has become as culturally significant as the fashion object itself. Compelling stories of romance, drama, mystery and suspense have been constructed around clothing, providing the fashion object with its mythic and symbolic quotient. Fashion phantasmagoria questions and critiques the mediation of contemporary fashion through its images – the 'magic delusion' of the dream world of fashion is considered and the slights of hand that mask its production laid bare.
[i] Barthes, R. 1991, The Fashion System, trans. M. Ward & R. Howard,University of California Press, Berkley, p.8.
As a conceptual fashion designer Martin Margiela's deconstructionist clothing complies with many of the avant-garde techniques adopted by post-modern contemporary artists. In particular Margiela's refusal of the fashion system through lack of labeling, anonymity and collaborative process are comparable to the institutional critiques that have emerged in conceptual art. Margiela's recontextualisation of everyday and discarded fragments of clothing and other recycled objects has parallels in Duchamp's readymades and the work of contemporary artists such as Tom Friedman both of whom question the types of objects that might be considered within art's contextual frame. The fact that everyday objects have been considered as art since the early twentieth century gives credence to the consideration of Margiela's garments as an artform.
Further evidence of Margiela's avant-garde tendencies and postmodern critique can be interpreted in his deconstructionist and reconstructionist methods that calls in to question the craftsmanship associated with Haute Couture. Margiela has a highly sophisticated understanding of traditional tailoring and patternmaking. That his garments frequently feature recycled garments restructured and reconsidered is testament to his ability to transform materials, for example his use of unravelled socks to make new woolen sweaters or old business ties to make jackets conveys the designers affinity with the old. In giving condemned clothing new life Margiela's garments have historical resonance but also avoid the fashion system's penchant for constant change and the 'new-for-newness-sake' of seasonal collections. Instead his garments are suggestive of an on-going body of work that is constantly evolving.
Margiela's wig-coat is just one example of the way he has used abject materials to create high-fashion. Operating in the same frame as Elsa Schiaparelli's surrealist fashion from the 1920s and 30s, Margiela questions perceived notions of beauty and glamour. In transgressing and subverting the idea that luxury fashion can only be made from expensive and beautiful materials coupled with the exposure of haute-couture techniques through deconstructive strategies, Margiela presents fashion as a conceptual concern rather than aesthetic strategy.

Vistra Builds Presence in the Nordic Region with New Office in Stockholm
Maria Slytå
Commercial Director, Nordic Region
Vistra, one of the world's leading corporate providers of international incorporations, trust, fiduciary, private office, international expansion and fund administration services, has announced the opening of its new office in Stockholm, Sweden.
The office will cater for Nordic outbound business opportunities and is led by Maria Mwegerano, who will be taking on the role of Commercial Director, Nordic Region, after her previous position as Head of Business Development in Vistra's London office.
The opening of Vistra Sweden marks a milestone for the firm as they take their first step into the Nordic region. Discussing the importance of the region in today's economy, Maria said "The Nordic countries comprise some of the most successful and competitive economies in Europe. Stockholm in particular is ranked as the second best ecosystem for start-ups in the world, and has produced more billion-dollar unicorn start-ups per capita than any other city in Europe. In addition, the region as a whole is home to approximately 200 asset managers, forming a significant part of the global market."
Martin Crawford, CEO of Vistra commented on Vistra's newest office "The decision to expand our presence into the Nordic region with the launch of Vistra Sweden was a logical step in our business growth strategy as we continue to cultivate our global footprint. The area is rich with opportunities and will enable us to not only provide enhanced services and reach to our existing clients, but also tap into the local market with our new presence. We hope to develop relationships with Nordic corporations with overseas subsidiaries and start-ups looking to expand outside the region, as well as alternative investment managers, all of whom will benefit from Vistra's expertise particularly within our International Expansion and Alternative Investment divisions."

Correcting a societal error
NewsSeptember 13, 2019
-DNA India
I remember watching the movie Tamanna almost 20 years ago. Featuring Paresh Rawal in one of his most acclaimed roles as a transgender, it won the National Award in 1998 for the best film under the 'Other social issues' category.
Rawal played the role of a hijra who brings up a female child abandoned by her family, keeping his gender identity hidden from his daughter. It was a very sensitive portrayal of a very complex societal issue. Two things stayed with me after watching this movie. First, at 21, my understanding of such people was that they were to be avoided because they were unhygienic, dangerous and unnatural. The second thing that stayed with me was the shame that the protagonist felt and portrayed throughout the film.
Twenty years down the line, and I am not sure if too much has changed. A depiction of a male dancing at a wedding got quite a few laughs in the blockbuster movie Badhai Ho. I think it's time we evolved our understanding of multiple genders, unlearnt our biases and relearn respect and inclusion.
What exactly is a transgender? As per the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2016, a transgender person is defined as one who is partly female or male, or a combination of female and male, or neither female nor male. Also, the person's gender must not match the gender assigned at birth, and includes trans-men, trans-women, persons with intersex variations and gender-queers. Often, some people feel that the sex they were assigned at birth doesn't match their gender identity. It includes those who have medically transitioned to align their internal knowledge of their gender with their physical presentation.
It is very important to understand that often, transgenders are people who are asserting their gender identity and it is very personal. People often confuse gender identity with sexual orientation, but being transgender isn't the same thing as being lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Gender identity is about whom you are inside as male, female, both, or none of these. Traditionally, the world has been divided into good and evil, white and black, men and women — it tends to be binary in its approach. The diversity of genders is something that doesn't fit into the stereotyped thinking that society carries.
Stereotyping, coupled with a lack of awareness leads to multiple challenges for members of the transgender community. Often rejected and disowned by their families, they fall prey to agencies or gangs who use them for begging or prostitution. Discrimination leads to scarcity of opportunities in education and employment. Lack of acceptance by society leads to shame, loneliness, social awkwardness and possibly emotional and mental disorders.
The Indian Census has never recognised third gender, i.e. transgender, while collecting census data for years. In 2011, however, data on transgenders was collected with details related to their employment, literacy and caste included. In India, the total population of transgenders is pegged at around 4.88 lakh, as per the 2011 census.As our society is evolving, it's time we took note of the diverse genders and helped them integrate into society and help them lead a life of their choice.
There's been a significant shift in the way transgender issues have been treated in the last decade, with major corporations offering help and services to transitioning employees, but there's still much to be done to ensure equality. While many no longer regard gender as a strictly binary issue, there can still be a lot of stigma attached to changing gender identity. Awareness has certainly grown, but there are still challenges when it comes to transgender issues at the workplace.
The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2016, prohibits discrimination against a transgender person, including unfair treatment or denial of service in relation to: (i) education, (ii) employment, (iii) healthcare, (iv) access to public goods and facilities (v) right to movement (vi) right to rent or own property, (vii) opportunity to hold public or private office and (viii) access to a government or private establishment, which has custody of a transgender person. All public and private establishments are prohibited from discriminating against a transgender person in employment matters, including recruitment and promotion.
Workplaces can play a strong role in helping the transgender integrate with society by providing them employment opportunities. There are educational institutions that are helping provide opportunities to members of the community. More importantly, it is essential to drive awareness and sensitivity within the organisation to address decades of social conditioning. For example, there is a need for awareness on the use of sensitive language and words, awareness of the gender diaspora and so on.
Organisations can make their policies inclusive and announce them from communication platforms. Inclusive policies include parental, medical and insurance benefits, to name just a few. When employees are made aware and exposed to inclusive policies and practices at the workplace, they will carry this mindset back home, and a virtuous cycle will be set in motion.
Like workplaces, educational institutes can also reshape society. Students today are eager to create a better society. When students — whether in school, college, or university — are made aware and accepting of transgenders, it will drive understanding and inclusion. This world view will be shared with members of their families and friends, which again would lead to a virtuous cycle.
Families, for their part, must play their role by providing a bias-free home environment. A family is the building block of society and its most fundamental unit. When they wholeheartedly embrace inclusive views that are accepting of all genders, it creates a society that is inclusive. Authorities, too, can play a part in creating an inclusive society. There must be acts and legislations that mandate equal opportunity hiring, providing infrastructure such as restrooms for the third gender and action against misconduct/harassment.

I am a final year PhD student at The University of Strathclyde in the department of Biomedical Engineering. My research project is focused on the development of drug-eluting technologies for the prevention of medical device infections. I graduated from my MSc with distinction, also in Biomedical Engineering, from The University of Strathclyde in 2016. Previous to this I completed a BSc (hons) degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from The University of Glasgow, which I graduated from in 2015 with a 2:1.
Medical device infection is one of the most problematic issues associated with implanted medical devices. More than 60% of nosocomial infections are related to a medical device, with treatment being particularly challenging. Pathogenesis of infection frequently involves formation of a protective polysaccharide matrix, known as a biofilm, which acts as a barrier to both host immune response and administered antimicrobials. In order to eradicate a biofilm a significantly higher dose of antimicrobial is required when compared to the planktonic form of the same microorganism. Delivering an effective dose to the site of infection with systemic methods is extremely problematic and often cannot be achieved, meaning explant and replacement of a medical device is the only option. However these procedures are often contraindicated or high risk, with no guarantee that re-infection will not occur. As the most common causative microorganisms are Staphylococcal species, it is believed that initial contamination occurs during implantation. It is therefore desirable that for a time after implantation, during which there is a higher risk of infection, a medical device be resistant to infection pathogenesis.
Drug-eluting technology using a biodegradable polymer, similar to that already in use in some drug-eluting stents, may be of use in certain medical devices as a means of achieving such infection prevention. To investigate this, the polymer poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was formulated with the broad spectrum antibiotic rifampicin, and over 10 weeks both the release and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation examined. The release study revealed that rifampicin can readily be released from PLGA, and that release is highly tunable by altering the ratio of polymer to drug. Ratios examined were PLGA:rifampicin 50:50 and 60:40, this small change in ratio produced two alternative release profiles with significantly different percentage release. However, both the 50:50 and the 60:40 PLGA:rifampicin formulations released the majority (>90%) of their respective rifampicin loads during the initial 4 weeks of release. Despite this the biofilm inhibition study, which used implantable medical grade polyester, proved the potency of rifampicin by revealing extended activity against S. aureus biofilm formation. After 10 weeks of rifampicin release the results showed a 99% and 90% reduction in biofilm formation when compared to material coated with PLGA alone.
What this study has demonstrated is that biodegradable polymer drug delivery technology can be used to control release of an antimicrobial, and that the antimicrobial activity can be retained for an extended period of time (≥10 weeks). This technology may therefore be of potential utility to prevention of infection in implanted medical devices.


Flipping cars often comes down to finding the right bargain as opposed to a specific make or model. Thanks to the Internet, there are no shortages of places to look, but this convenience also causes some people to overlook the classic hunting grounds. This includes public auctions, estate sales, and even the good old fashion "For Sale By Owner" cars you see in neighborhoods or passing on the way to the store. If you prefer searching from the comfort of your couch, sites like Craigslist and local Facebook groups can be great sources too.
2. Cars that need minor repairs that you can do on your own.
3. Cars that need to be sold quickly.
Know that whenever a really good bargain becomes available it's likely going to sell quickly so you have to be on top of your game. Be sure that you thoroughly look through the car to make sure that it isn't too good to be true. If you aren't savvy with mechanic work, some car flippers suggest meeting at a mechanic to pay for a quick once-over.
In order to increase your chances of finding a buyer, you want to pick a car that has a market. Cars that are notoriously reliable often have a decent cult-following. For example, Japanese manufactured cars have been well known to be reliable, modern, and relatively easy when it comes to maintenance. They are also fairly fuel efficient, which has been top of mind for many in the last few years. For these reasons many will seek out these cars for a dependable car for the daily commute or for a first car for their teenager.
However, their many positive qualities that lead to their high demand could be a detriment to a flipper. Even with a high demand, the supply of these cars is plentiful, meaning that you may not have as high of profit margin. Regardless, these vehicles could be perfect for the beginning flipper to learn the ropes without a lot of risk.
Sometimes flipping comes down to acting on opportunity. Say you have a friend who needs to free up a space in the garage? Or you see neighbor who is moving to another state and doesn't need their car anymore? Sometimes you do just get lucky stumbling into these situations, but with preparation and research you may be able to better spot these "lucky" situations. If you get the word out that you're looking for a low-cost vehicle, you may be surprised about the opportunities that present themselves through your connections.
Sometimes you just won't find that perfect, pristine, flippable car. But you may find it easier to find cars that just need a little TLC to get it up to snuff. A great example of this is hybrid cars with dead batteries. Hybrids are in high demand right now, so if you can find one in good condition that just needs a new battery you could stand to make a great flip. Dirtier cars or ones with small but noticeable blemishes can also be fixed up with relative ease are also great options.
If you are mechanically-inclined, or know someone who is, you may be able to do more extensive repairs on a budget which even further broadens your potential to profit.
This one may be easier than what you think. Using a tool such as our Trusted Car Sale can be a great way to appeal to a wider audience.
You can post your vehicle to Facebook groups or Craigslist classifieds. Keep an eye out for people that have posted a need for a vehicle. Post it on your Facebook page, as well, and ask your friends to share it.
Sometimes word of mouth can be just as good as a post, too. Tell your friends, family, and/or coworkers if they know anyone who needs a car—or better yet expand your reach by asking them to ask their family and friends.

Deranged LA Crimes ®
True 20th Century tales of murder, mayhem, political corruption, and celebrity scandal
Tag Archives: Chester L. Bandle
The Burton Gang's Last Job, Part 1
Posted on August 15, 2017 by Deranged
Photo is not of this case, but typical of the time. Courtesy of LAPL.
On the evening of July 19, 1922, motorcycle Officer Chester L.. Bandle clocked a coupe speeding through the intersection at Ninth and Hill Streets at a reckless forty miles an hour. He gave chase. The driver pulled over at Seventh and Hill and Officer Bandle walked over to hand the speeder a ticket, but he never got the chance. The driver, aiming a revolver, leaned out of the car and shot Officer Bandle in the right shoulder–then he sped off abandoning the car several blocks away. The car was taken to Central Police Station and Officer Bandle was taken to White Memorial Hospital in fair condition, but expected to survive.
The abandoned car was found a few blocks from where the motor officer had been wounded, and a search of the vehicle yielded a few bits of potentially useful information. Charles Mullen, 4124 Washington Street, Fresno, was the registered owner. Was the car stolen? Was the shooter and the owner of the car the same person? It was up to Sheriff's investigators to find out.
Detectives learned that Charles Mullen was one of many aliases used by twenty-seven year-old Edward Burton of Chicago. Burton was well-known to Chicago cops having begun his life of crime there as a teenager. Under one of his aliases, Louis Miller, he was implicated, but never charged, in he 1919 gangland murder of fellow Windy City street thug, Jimmy Cherin.
Evelyn Smith and Edward Burton
Like many crooks before him Burton decided to head west, at least for a while. Burton didn't travel to Los Angeles alone, he brought his girl, Evelyn Smith, and his gang with him. It didn't take long for the gang to come to the attention of local law enforcement, and for six months cops tried unsuccessfully to catch the gang in the act.
Shortly after the wounding of Officer Bandle, Sheriff Traeger received a hot tip about where the gang was holed up and he and LAPD Chief Oaks formulated a plan.
An early morning joint raid was conducted by Sheriff Traeger and Chief Oaks at two locations. Swarms of deputies and patrolmen arrived at the bungalow in the rear of 1234 West 39th Street and at a rooming house at 533 1/2 South Spring Street. Under the direction of the Sheriff and the Chief of Police, Detective Capt. Home, Capt. Murray, Detective Sgts. Jarvis, Neece, Longuevan and Davis, and Deputy Sheriffs Sweezy and Allen took part in the raid. Arrested on suspicion of robbery were : Edward Burton; J.W. Gilkye; K.B. Fleenor; B.C. Beaucanan, and his wife; William R. Ryan; F.J. Ryan and his wife; and Evelyn Smith. Also at the bungalow was a burglary kit and a stash of weapons including three shotguns, two rifles, and half a dozen revolvers–a good indication that the gang was up to no good.
The recent hold-up of E.E. Hamil and E.C. Harrison, collectors for the Puente Oil Company, netted the bandits $3875 (equivalent to over $56k in current dollars). Hamil and Harrison attended a line-up to see if they could identify any of the suspects as the man who had robbed them. They pointed at Edward Burton.
Burton was released on $10,000 [equivalent to $145k in current dollars] bail while Sheriff's investigators continued to dig into his life and the lives of his companions. No one was surprised to find that Burton was a career criminal with numerous aliases–among them, Charles Mullen. Burton/Mullen fit the description of the man who had shot Motor Officer Bandle; and the car found near the scene of the shooting was registered to Mullen. An unlikely coincidence.
Evidence against the gang was mounting. They started to talk about hopping the next train east. Burton agreed that things were getting too hot for them in Los Angeles, but he said before they bid adieu to blue skies, ocean breezes and palm trees, they needed to pull just one more job.
NEXT TIME: Shootout at Union Ice Company.
