This Living Green Supremefood review, is a nutritional supplement created by Dr Don Colbert, Divine Health.
There are a great many green 'superfoods' on the market. At a guess there would easily be more than 200 brands and they all have different formulations. But what are superfoods? There are many definitions. Some will have goji berries, acai berries, wheatgrass powder, or based on herbs, veggie powders or grains, some have single-celled algae called organic Spirulina in them, some are densely packed with these active ingredients, others are mostly a carrier with only a speckle of ingredients, the list goes on and on and on.
With so many different brands this is clearly a highly competitive market and because they all claim to offer different health benefits and they will all make claims of their superiority over competing products it also causes massive confusion for consumers, myself included.
So when Dr Don Colbert from Divine Health holistic healing center approached me for a review his Living Green Supremefood I was excited to see what makes this product special and reading the ingredients list (see below) it certainly promises to be one of the elite green superfoods.
This product contains powdered greens and has been certified as "organic supplements" by Quality Assurance International (QAI), a for-profit corporation, established in 1989, and headquartered in San Diego, California.
Japanese Agricultural Stan (JAS) through QAI's Japan-based partner EcoCert.
It is safe to say then that with this level of international scrutiny, obtaining QAI accreditation is no mean feat. While it doesn't prove efficacy (ie does it work – more about this later) it certainly attests to the quality of the ingredients used.
The literature on each of these and every one of ingredients in the table above is replete with accolades of their efficacy and benefits and a quick search on the US Food and Drug Administration (fda.gov) and US Department of Agriculture (usda.gov) websites gave me a very clear understanding as to why so many people say such good things about these ingredients.
As I said I was excited, so now it's time to dig deeper so here is my review of this holistic nutrition product.
While it is important to know something about the ingredients in this product, it is equally important to know what is not in it, particularly for those people who have certain food allergies. This greens supplement is diary-free, gluten-free, soy-free and does not contain any ingredients that have been genetically modified (ie GMO), which is an absolute pre-requisite under any organic labelling scheme.
According to the Dr Colbert website, to preserve the quality of the ingredients they are dried using a slow low-temperature drying process. The key benefit of this is in the way it preserves the delicate molecular structure of the heat sensitive bioactive compounds, phytonutrients and digestive enzymes, all of which are easily destroyed when using faster but harsher high heat processes adopted by most other manufacturers.
It is this level of care that sets apart a high quality product from all the "also-rans".
Our package arrived in a timely manner, it was well secured and in perfect condition with all seals intact along with the receipt and product documentation. All this attests to the care that was put into the packaging to guaranteeing the freshness of the contents.
Judging from the website I did expect a larger box but what arrived measured roughly 4" x 4" x 4", (10cm x 10cm x 10cm) which for one month's supply (30 servings) seemed small, but no doubt a direct result of the high potency of the contents – ie no filler that contributes nothing other than unnecessary bulk.
I excitedly opened the box, had a quick scan of the accompanying literature and proceeded forthwith opening the container. The first two things I noticed when I took off the lid were the vibrant olive green color and the absolutely delicious aroma as it filled the air enveloping me with the smell of freshly cut grass and organic herbs with a hint of sweetness. It made me salivate and couldn't wait to taste it!
The indicated amount is the equivalent of one serve, enough for one day per person and it is best to drink 30 minutes after eating so that the goodness is absorbed quickly into your body.
While it's all very well for something to be healthy, if it doesn't taste good then it's unlikely to be used. There is certainly a perception that green products taste weird, however that is not what we found.
It is probably the best greens supplement we've ever tried and enjoyed drinking just for the taste alone, and the healthiness almost felt like an added bonus. I know it sounds weird but we did like it that much.
This densely packed nutritious living fuel super greens drink tasted fresh and light with just a hint of sweetness to counterbalance a slight earthy flavour on the side and back of the tongue. The result is a complex and very enjoyable balance in the mouth.
Immediately upon drinking this product we could actually feel the goodness of the ingredients as soon as it hit our stomach. There was no denying this felt like something very special. It felt alive!
Because we eat incredibly healthily and we look after our bodies with regular exercise and because of that we didn't actually expect this product to make a massive impact, however, drinking this supplement of mass nutrition gave us an incredible sense of wellbeing, we felt warm and fuzzy and more energised, fuller and more satisfied between meals and it improved our digestion. As a result of all this we felt less of a need to eat as often or as much as before. For those looking to address a weight issue, this will be a good thing.
Note: Not only is this product available in powder form (as tested here) for your convenience is is also available in cube (12 Packs).
One this website we always talk about how a healthy and well-balanced diet is the absolute fundamental requirement for healthy living. We believe that organic supplements such as this product are the perfect addition to your daily routine regardless if you eat healthy foods or not.
Based on our own personal experience I can confidently say that Living Green Supremefood has had a very positive impact on our lives, as healthy as we are. There is plenty of evidence that the ingredients used in this product are known to be health-giving and the way Dr Colbert and his team have treated them shows care and utmost respect.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in using this product as part of our ongoing regime and hope that you will give it a try and experience for yourself the benefits you can derive from this delicious supplement.
Disclaimer: Our findings have not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration and are entirely based on our personal experience in using Living Green Supremefood. Please consult your doctor before starting any exercise or nutritional supplement program or before using these or any product during pregnancy or if you have a serious medical condition.

"It's very hard to go to Silicon Valley when you're European. But once you've stepped in it's very easy to find new opportunities." That's what I could read before getting my job. I can now testify: it's almost unfair how making connections and get into conversations with top-notch people here is part of the daily show when you know how hard it is to get a job in the Bay Area coming from Europe!
Many people here use the expression "it's a small world". Of course this expression will remain, first of all, the world-renowned attraction at Disneyland (do you remember the music? Right – now you'll have it in mind all day long!). Instead of pirates, puppets, and other lovely characters who all seem to enjoy their fictional existence, you'll find in Silicon Valley a set of entrepreneurs, large companies, and smart people who are all willing to help each other thrive.
Don't get me wrong, unlike in a Disney world, the competition here is huge and I've stopped counting the number of startups that all appear to be doing the same thing – approximately be the next disruptive company using state-of-the-art technologies to change the way you're doing business. But people here will be glad to give you a bit of their time to either help you or get you in touch with somebody they know who will. That's part of why networking clubs are so popular here: you can hear about game-changing insights from the speaker directly, or afterwards while casually enjoying a glass of wine with another attendee. That's how business is done!
I was attending the IoT World 2016 event in Santa Clara this week supporting the new Hitachi Insight Group launch. It was another opportunity to see this "little world" interactions taking place: getting to know this person who can boost your social brand visibility, give this other partner some of our cameraman's time, or simply stay stunned by this company that made it possible for a formerly race-driver now quadriplegic to drive again.
I'm very glad and grateful to have been given the opportunity to enter this small world… And I hope this article is sharing my newcomer viewpoint on this in a truthful manner!

Brian Thomas Ray (Los Angeles, 4 de janeiro de 1955) é um cantor, compositor, guitarrista, baixista americano. Mais conhecido pelo seu trabalho como guitarrista e baixista com Paul McCartney, apesar de ter um extensa lista de artistas com quem trabalhou, além de seu trabalho solo.

Infância
Brian cresceu no Sul da Califórnia. Brian começou a tocar guitarra com 9 anos,s ua irmã mais velha, Jean estimulou seu interesse pela música rock através de sua coleção de discos. Ela era "provavelmente a pessoa mais importante e influente" no início da vida de Brian.

Carreira
Em 1973, logo após terminar o ensino médio, Ray começou sua carreira musical como parte de Bobby Pickett e Crypt Kicker Five, tocando o "Monster Mash" em um benefício de angariação de fundos organizada pelo e para Phil Kaufman. Kaufman tomou Ray e viria a apresentá-lo a cantora Etta James em um ensaio, assim como James estava à beira de um retorno na carreira. Essa breve introdução acabaria por levar a 14 anos de carreira de Ray como diretor musical Etta James e guitarrista. Enquanto trabalhava com Etta, Brian também dividiu o palco com outros músicos com Keith Richards, Santana, Joe Cocker, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker e Bo Diddley. Nesse tempo ele também se focou mais em compor músicas. Brian passou o fim dos anos 80 tocando com artistas como Peter Frampton, Rita Coolidge, Michael Steele e Steve LeGassick, com quem virou parceiro de compor músicas por 13 anos. Foi essa parceria em composição com LeGassick que criaria o sucesso de 1987 Smokey Robinson premiado "One Heartbeat".

Antes de trabalhar com Paul McCartney em 2002, Brian estava trabalhando em uma turnê pela França com dois artistas franceses, Mylène Farmer e Johnny Hallyday. Abe Laboriel Jr. que já havia trabalhado com Brian, mencionou que Paul McCartney estava em busca de um guitarrista que poderia facilmente alternar entre baixo e guitarra. Após o encontro com o produtor de McCartney para Driving Rain, David Kahne, Ray se juntou a Paul McCartney para o Halftime show no Super Bowl XXXIX, em 2002.

Ray se juntou ao resto da banda de Paul McCartney para a turnê Driving Rain, divulgando o álbum Driving Rain.  A partir de então, ele tem aparecido nos álbuns a solo de McCartney, como Back in the World, Back in the U.S. and Memory Almost Full, bem como o três DVD de Paul: Paul McCartney in Red Square, The Space Within US e Good Evening New York City.

Carreira solo
Após décadas tocando, gravando e escrevendo com muitos artistas, Brian Ray lançou seu primeiro álbum solo, Mondo Magneto, no dia 16 de Outubro de 2006, através de sua gravadora Whooray Records.

"As pessoas sempre me perguntaram quando eu ia fazer minhas próprias coisas", Ray disse: "Eu acho que eu estava ocupado."

Músicos no Mondo Magneto incluem Scott Shriner do Weezer, Davey Faragher da banda de Elvis Costello, bem como Abe Laboriel Jr., Wix Wickens e Rusty Anderson, da banda de Paul McCartney.

Quando Brian perguntou a cantora de blues e ex-chefe de Etta James, se ela iria cantar com ele no álbum sua resposta foi simples e imediata - "Eu vou fazer de tudo por Brian."

Em abril de 2009, Ray revelou que ele estava trabalhando em um segundo álbum, intitulado This Way Up. E em 9 de agosto de 2010 Brian o lançou.

US to create nationwide network of EV charging stations
US to create nationwide networ...
A 2020 vision for a national fast charging network is to be developed
Smallman12q/CC 2.0
The US government has announced "an unprecedented set of actions" to pump up the country's plug-in electric vehicle market, including US$4.5 billion in loan guarantees to create a nationwide network of commercial scale and fast charging stations. The initiative to push for greater electric car adoption calls for a collaboration between federal and state agencies, utilities, major automakers and other groups.
The initiative will identify zero emission and alternative fuel corridors across the country, to determine the best locations to put in fast charging stations, as part of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.
As part of a partnership between the US departments of energy and transportation, a 2020 vision for a national fast charging network will be developed, with potential longer-term innovations that include up to 350 kW of direct current fast charging. According to the administration, a 350 kW DC system could charge a 200-mile-range battery in less than 10 minutes. For comparison, Tesla just boosted some of its Superchargers' power capacity to 145 kW, which is claimed the fastest currently available.
Another interesting part of the initiative is the Battery500 research consortium led by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which will receive up to $10 million per year for five years to develop a cheaper, lighter and more powerful battery. Specifically, the goal is to triple the energy of current batteries to 500 Wh/kg, with 1,000 electric vehicle cycles, while lowering the cost of a battery pack to below $100/kWh – the point at which electric cars are considered to become price competitive with gas-powered models.
Essentially, the loan guarantees are designed to help finance the types of new technologies and innovative projects that typically have trouble finding commercial funding in the US, enabling them to deploy at a commercial scale.
The federal government, which already plans to buy 500 plug-in hybrids or EVs in 2017, will partner with state, county and city governments to acquire fleets of electric vehicles at discounted rates. An electric vehicle hackathon is also planned for later this year, using big data to come up with new and innovative solutions to EV charging, and is open to public participation.
Besides Tesla and Nissan, which currently provide most of the fast-charging stations in the country, other carmakers signing onto the deal include Ford, General Motors, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Tesla currently has 681 Supercharger stations worldwide with 4,157 charging points. According to the administration, there are more than 16,000 EV charging stations currently in the US, while battery costs have decreased 70 percent since 2008.

His interests extend to issues of sustainable innovation and crazy new science, all while trying to keep up with the growing craft brew scene and hiking the trails above the valley.

Finally, the age of the electric car is dawning. It's good to see the government moving in the right direction. The benefits of electric transportation is vast. However this has been driven organically by the private sector already and now we are close to the hump of going mainstream (5 to 10 years). For all those naysayers of government intervention and subsidizing the industry, the fossil fuel industry is even MORE subsidized. WAY more. It's not even an argument. ALL businesses are subsidized through tax laws. And energy (which for the past 100+ years has been the fossil fuel industry) is subsidized even more directly.
gizmowiz July 25, 2016 10:41 AM
My visions of an EV economy are underway. Had those since the 60's racing slot cars. You just needed to race one of those to know that eventually electrics would supplant all ICE technologies as being inefficient (35% maximum; electrics 98%).
piperTom July 25, 2016 11:03 AM
Here we go again: elites in government deciding to push people where they would not voluntarily go. When you need the force of the state to push your ideas, that means your ideas are weak.
PlanetPapi July 25, 2016 12:45 PM
Happy to know that finally Government is waking up to the game. Kudos. I hope they post proper signs at these charging stations so that gas cars don't hijack our spots. Unfortunately I face this situation every day. Dumb and arrogant idiots park in EV only spots.
Paul Anthony July 25, 2016 12:45 PM
I would like to see these charging stations offer outlets for bikes as well. I went to a hotel in an ebike and they got all bent out of shape when I plugged in a bike to be charged while I ate at their restaurant. The bike was not parked in anyone's way and the outlet was next to the bike so no trip hazard. I wish bike racks had this option
Grainpaw July 25, 2016 02:32 PM
PiperTom, the gummint isn't coming to take your gas hog away. Years from now, there will be clubs and shows for you, just as we have Model A clubs now. And there will be gas stations as long as you can provide sufficient demand to support them. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be enjoying a cheaper, more efficient mode of transport. The future will not be like the past. Stay in your comfort zone, and you can be part of a living history re-enactment some day.
icwhatudidthere July 25, 2016 06:34 PM
@gizmowiz8 That's something of a false equivalency. The electricity needs to be produced somewhere and AFAIK, no electric production method approaches 98% efficiency, the closest being hydroelectric at 90%.
ljaques July 25, 2016 06:48 PM
I support the new charging stations, but once critical mass happens with EVs, there will be so many of them out there, they'll outnumber the charging stations by 100k:1. Price is one of the things keeping EVs out of the hands of the people, and I still can't believe that an electric motor, gearbox, and battery cost ten times more than an engine, transmission, exhaust system, intake ducting, radiator, heater core and ducting, exhaust and engine heat shields, extra smog devices, and gas tanks. Can you? I'm thinking that the State makes more money on inspecting, smogging, gas taxing, etc. than they'd like to admit, and it may go away once ICEs are gone, or severely diminished in number.
Knut July 25, 2016 06:48 PM
Please use the term "also" - when the US finally also does what other countries do. When the US has established an "infrastructure" you can develop technology for this - and not the other way around. You are correct, Tesla is one player, because they sell abroad and use no fancy battery technology. Nissan, BMW, MB and Audi - even Porsche can develop battery technology because they have an infrastructure of charging points to relate to, which makes it possible for them to make and sell battery-powered cars. Any other "inventor" will now have to sell their ideas and technology to those with an infrastructure. This makes remarks about US technology as visionary as some remark of Mr. Donald Trump. Well, finally the US can start to develop, but being a late contender, has to comply with the rest of the world.
voluntaryist July 25, 2016 07:27 PM
I'm sorry to see the private sector won't fund the research some people would like. Lobbing the bankrupt (owes more than it can pay) govt. to fund your pet project is morally wrong as well as impractical. It's the moral equivalent of crony capitalism. The govt. has to take by force all the money it gets since it consumes but never produces (on net). The irony is this public funding will slow development. Funded researchers get paid to research. Success means the job is done, funding stops. See cancer "research" which goes on, and on and on.

Q: When a Radon measure finite in bounded sets? Let $(X,d)$ be a locally compact separable complete metric space (locally compact Polish metric space) and $\sigma$ a Radon measure i.e. a Borel measure finite in compact sets $\sigma(K)<\infty$ and regular: For every $A \in \mathcal{B}(X)$
$$\sigma(A)=\inf\{ \sigma(O): A \subset O \text{ open} \},$$
$$\sigma(A)=\sup\{ \sigma(K): A \supset K \text{ compact} \}$$
Can I guarantee in this case that $\sigma$ is finite in bounded sets? They are bounded w.r.t. the distance $d$.
I know that this is true in $\mathbb{R}^d$ because closed balls are compact. In a metric space I can't use this fact. I proved that $\sigma$ is $\sigma$-finite because I can get a increasing sequence of compact $K_n$ such that $X = \cup_{n \geq 1} K_n$. Could you give me any hint? Thanks a lot!

A: For every metric $d(x, y)$ you can define $\bar{d}(x, y)=min\{d(x, y), 1\}$ that is a metric inducing the same topology of $d(x, y)$ for wich every set is bounded. Hence I say no, elsewhere every set would have a finite measure.

A: To add to Giovanni Barbarani's answer. If you use the $\overline{d}$ metric, then the space $X$ is bounded. So in order for $\sigma$ to be finite on bounded sets, you would need that $\sigma(X)<\infty$.
With this in mind, you need to add the constraint that $\sigma(X)<\infty$ or that your space has the Heine-Borel Property for every bounded set to have finite measure.

The ties between Arab youth and the law bring to mind, in many ways, a nineteenth-century novel. For a long time I was fragile, yet in the pervasive delinquency around me, I seemed driven by some borrowed force. Invariably, the ghetto child's first act of revolt is to commit an offence. Poverty, that traditional proletarian sickness, dictates every action. Therein lie the roots of begging, of thieving. I recall being hungry the way a grown man is hungry in the streets of this country. I stole and I had my reasons for it. I don't feel obliged to justify myself; the realities of that world carry their own explanations. Honesty seen as a luxury—the condemnation of the poor. In shop windows, the goods are arrayed to suggest theft, invite it; and the theft itself is born of the circumstances. Shut out from the consumer society that defines who you are by what you have, some kids today want to have so they can be. However, the accepted methods of having are forbidden them. Thieving gives them a relative, temporary self-worth. With time, I've come to realize that very few thieves are opposed to property; on the contrary, they reaffirm it. Theft in their case is but an act of acquisition, a lone act committed for social acceptance. Ordinary greed wasn't what brought me to larceny.
In the eyes of the law, five hundred francs fewer in a handbag and five hundred more in a pocket makes little difference. People aren't born delinquent; they become so according to the accidents of their lives and their response to them. The moment the offence has been committed, society shows its true face; a remorseless logic leads to prison. Before, in my youth, there were gaps between the bars; now these have been filled in.
Savigny-sur-Orge, the reform school where I was locked up at fourteen, cast a spell over me thanks to a book by Francois Villon which I found there, a million miles from the groves of academe. The vigour, the amazing energy of his poetry struck me with tremendous force. His words entered me like life itself, it's as simple as that; and ever since they've been so much a part of me it's as though I came into the world already knowing them. At last, what I had felt in my body had been put into words. Inevitably there was The Ballad of the Hanged Men. Wherever our anguish is at its worst, it's books above all that save us. They tell us that the most frightening things can be endured; they show us a way out from fear. Every reader is solitary, but no one more so than a prisoner. In this solitude, the prisoner seizes the words on offer more voraciously than anyone. Between God and mute Creation there is, we are told, the Word. The poetry of Villon completely filled my head from the start. It was so natural, so much a part of me, it could have been written in my lifetime. It linked intuition and incarceration. We all know that trompe-l'oeil called recognition. Sometimes we think we've already encountered people and things before, or that events happening now have already occurred, which makes what's to come seem like a moment in the past. We can't know if that is confirmation of an earlier prediction, or the experience of a lived moment.
My fellow inmates thought me mad. I'm quite sure that they'd have thrown me out of their cell like a turncoat if I'd altered anything in my behaviour towards them. I read a lot, but was convinced that I'd do nothing with it, and it had to remain private. Even in prison—above all in prison—reading produces a strange sense of freedom. I read Villon as if it were a secret language. He didn't have any practical uses for me, but I became obstinately attached to his poetry, the way someone might defend a universally condemned belief. With Villon I discovered that art is not the same thing as society. In its highest expression, art is its opposite, its enemy. No poet worthy of the name can be "official." The worst danger of all is State Culture, dead in its very essence.
Understanding delinquency is forged by the imagination; via poets and stories, not simply judges and rules. Little by little, I developed ways of acting and feeling that allowed me to identify with Villon. With great spiritual effort, I sought to discover in myself that core of fragility that allows poets to prefer the imaginary to the real. Some young detainees talked of escaping. My aim was to make sense of why I was banged up in there, inside those walls, so that eventually I'd see the light beyond. When things are at their worst, the mind can still create a thought that instantly produces the words to express it.
Paradoxically, it was the first statement I ever made to the police that finally let me decode the hieroglyphs of my existence. I could authenticate it, there, on paper, in ink. Often, in a police station, the intuition came to me of something I couldn't quite define, like a presentiment of the meaning of my life. It seemed as though everything I couldn't read myself were being read out loud. I felt clarified, defined from the outside. In the true sense, it was vertigo. From the injustices of the penal system, I learned to distance myself, to remove myself as far as possible, as if to recede to the Middle Ages. To exonerate my father from the fault I'd committed, I made myself very small, and metamorphosed into Villon's son. You can only live with memory by falsifying it. All human beings invent their own legends within their histories. Life can't just be contained in that little space called truth.
My childhood delinquency only makes sense through the process of unveiling and coming to terms with my origins. Every offence I committed was an act to invent the freedom denied to my father. These "acts of invention" had to shock, to expose me—in the true meaning of the word—to the decent French, the decent Arabs. Then I had no other way to affirm my youth and my origins, but the intense desire for life and death. I do know I felt everything my father had endured. To use a fitting term here, I didn't "repress" any of it. I stored it away; knowingly. Now, today, what I've retained still cuts like a blade, but neither bitterness nor hatred nor anger nor desire for revenge have ever provoked me to misuse this "knife". It lies within me.
My experience is like that of many young people of the Maghreb. And the same thing goes on, everywhere, every day, round the clock, as though the guilt of the children is their precious gift to wipe away the "innocence" of the parents. In French society, immigrant workers may be collectively innocent, but they know that as individuals each one is suspect. They accept this death of a small part of themselves. But I am the other half of my father, severed from him, alienated; the savage part of him. I needed to acquire enough reality to inspire hatred rather than pity. Guilt also creates an absolute sense of who you are. The accusing finger points out your individuality, at least.
Of course these ways of thinking require more thorough study. All I'm doing is to present what I know in my bones. There is so much said of North Africans that is completely erroneous. My delinquency, for me, was never more than an act to restore the authority of my father. Above all, my crimes were to redeem my family. The first danger encountered during a break-in redeemed at a stroke my father's daily, endless subjection. I believe that children of my kind experience the early conflict that turns into delinquency in direct relationship to their fathers.
I've looked to find a type of freedom on the underside of myth. My destiny could not be the kind which crushes an Oedipus or Laius. I leave that type of assassination to the sons of privileged families. No, my story is of resurrecting the father from the death wrought by society. That's the only way I can find the course of my own life.
I was the child that circled the playground like a caged animal; and behind me was another, and another. And so we followed each other, as if guided by the stars above. It is from such a prison of children that freedom flowed; like some centrifugal force that holds the spheres around the head, with the heavens and the stars. Not all roads lead to Mecca and its ritual circumambulations of the Kaaba.
Our hands were empty of so many lost caresses. The lawmen's bracelets snapped shut around the fragile curve of our wrists. My stainless steel chain bracelet glistened—we each wore whatever jewels we could. In the empty hours, our fingers wound themselves around the skylight bars in the low-ceilinged arched cells inhabited by sensual youths, blind to the sun. In my nocturnal memories, a fragment of moonlight illuminates the faces of these children in the shadows. My companions in misfortune were between thirteen and seventeen. The law and the precocious breaking of our will became one and the same thing. We all seemed to have become cloaked like sanctified beings, resembling what in other times would have been sacrificial victims—be they goats, oxen or children. Black tattoos on their arms, a simple cross, no words of prayer, a scar slashed across the skin close to the name of a loved one. Being among them gave me a strange sense of premonition. Within those walls I construed the sign on their foreheads and on mine. I understood their determination to create their own destiny, that perhaps they, themselves, didn't understand The etymology of Latin deliquere, to abandon, recalls the fundamental meaning of delinquency. In secondary school, we wrote with real ink, we dipped our Sergent-Major pens in little white porcelain inkwells. At the front of the class, as close as possible to the podium where the teacher had his desk, sat all the clever pupils, in neat rows, well behaved. As for us, we were already somewhere else.
For a long time, people told me who I was. Now it's my turn. Words are thrown in my direction, I catch them, send them on to other people, and I understand what I mean to them. The young born of immigration come from so far away; a distant journey. Each episode of their history evokes another, that of their parents'. In these young lives, I see reflected my own biography.
V like voice of the city V like Venissieux, Vaulx-en-Velin V like Vitry V like vandals thieving, like viewing shop windows, like violence V like Villon.
So my life will have found its definition on the fertile wastelands of the banlieue, where, paradoxically it seems, the city ends. To steal, to destroy, to take drugs is also to push to the extreme society's Exclusion Order.
Fellow humans who will come after us Do not harden your hearts against us. If you can show us poor wretches some pity God will be quicker to grant you his mercy.
And each word falls from my lips in the same way I'm sure they came from Villon's heart.

Домашнее насилие в Аргентине — является серьёзной проблемой по мнения ряда аргентинских общественных организаций. Начиная с 1990-х годов, правительство Аргентины предпринимает шаги для решения этой проблемы. Однако политику Аргентины критиковали за её слабость, в первую очередь из-за того, что она сосредоточена на гражданских, а не на уголовных делах с этой формой насилия, а также за примирение между жертвой и преступником. Политика по борьбе с домашним насилием также осложнилась из-за децентрализованного характера страны: Аргентина, будучи федеральным государством с 23 провинциями, вызвала значительные региональные различия между провинциальными политиками в отношении домашнего насилия, при этом женщины по всей стране имели разный уровень защита.

Правовая ситуация
Аргентинский Ley Nacional 24.417 от 1994 года был первым законом о насилии в семье. В соответствии с этим законом домашнее насилие определяется как «травма, физическое или психологическое насилие» (lesiones o maltrato físico o psíquico) со стороны членов семьи. В 2009 году был принят гораздо более широкий закон: Ley de protección integration para previr, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres en los ámbitos en que desarrollen sus relacion es interpersonales [Ley 26.485] (Всеобъемлющий закон о профилактике, Наказание и искоренение насилия в отношении женщин в их межличностных отношениях [Закон 26.485]). Этот новый закон определяет многие формы домашнего насилия, которых не было в прежнем законе.

Общественная поддержка
Государственные и частные учреждения предлагают программы профилактики, а также оказывают поддержку и лечение женщинам, подвергшимся жестокому обращению. Как правило, жалобы на насилие в семье рассматриваются в гражданских судах, которые могут обеспечить меры защиты, в том числе запретить правонарушителю находиться дома или на рабочем месте жертвы. В 2012 году Конгресс принял закон о борьбе с фемицидами, предусматривающий более строгие наказания виновных в убийстве своих супругов, партнеров или детей в результате гендерного насилия.

- Introduction
(Heroon at Sagalassos)
1900 Spamers Grosser Hand-Atlas: map of western Turkey: towns covered in this section: 1) Kutahya; 2) Afyonkarahisar; 3) Isparta; 4) Egirdir; 5) Sagalassos; towns covered in other sections: 6) Aizani; 7) Konya; 8) Antalya
The towns covered in this section are situated in a region which today is known as the Turkish Lake District because of its many endorheic lakes, bodies of water that do not flow into the sea because they are surrounded by mountain ranges. With reference to ancient geography the region was divided into Phrygia (northern section) and Pisidia (southern section).
Lake Acigol in the district of Afyonkarahisar
The lake of Chardak, sometimes called Hadji Tous Ghieul (Acigol), appeared about ten miles off to the SW. (..) A nearer approach showed that only a small portion of its bed was really under water, the rest being soft mud covered with a thick saline incrustation. (..) A steep and partly wooded range of hills rose to a considerable height on the other side of the lake forming the southern boundary of the province of Phrygia and extending from the Taurus to Mount Cadmus. (..) After passing a hill we halted near the extremity of the lake to observe the process of collecting the salt at which the inhabitants of the neighbouring village were busily employed. The lake being nearly dry, the water in the centre is so thoroughly saturated that, owing to the great evaporation constantly going on, the salt crystallizes on the surface and is scraped off with large wooden spades.
William Hamilton - Researches in Asia Minor, Pontus and Armenia - 1842
Today this lake is exploited for its sodium sulphate and the process for collecting it is not that described by Hamilton, but, excluding the area/premises where it is carried out, the view is not very different from that of the past.
Mount Akdag (White Mountain - not the only mountain of the region by this name) seen from the small town of Aglasun near Sagalassos (January 6, 2015)
The recollection of my snow adventures in 1826 were so lively, that we determined on the present occasion (November 1833) to be more prudent, and not to run the risk of being buried in the snows of Mount Taurus, for the sake of saving an hour or two of distance; and accordingly set out to take the longer but safer road (to Aglasun), of eight hours, by the plain.
Francis Vyvyan Jago Arundell - Discoveries in Asia Minor - 1834
A picturesque ride of two miles (from Sagalassos) brought me to Allahsun where I was most hospitably entertained in the konak (residence) of the absent Agha (governor) and received a message from the mistress of the harem to say that I was welcome to remain there all night. W. Hamilton
Mt. Akdag is regarded as the westernmost peak of the Taurus Mountains, a long range which separates the Anatolian tableland from the Mediterranean Sea coastal plains. Sagalassos was an important town of Pisidia and it was situated at an altitude of 1,500m/5,000ft (and more) on the southern side of this mountain.
Archaeological Museum of Burdur (January 6, 2015): ancient reliefs (left to right): Hercules, a gravestone, a colossal lion and Apollo Citharoedus (playing the lyre)
Burdur is the capital of a vilayet (one of 81 provinces of Turkey) which includes many towns of ancient Pisidia and its archaeological museum houses the works of art found there. It was recently renovated to properly display some fine statues found at Sagalassos. Because of lack of space many reliefs and gravestones were moved to a small garden near the entrance. I could not avoid shivering for Hercules and Apollo standing naked in the snow.
Afyonkarahisar (1,020m/3,350ft): the castle during a snowstorm (April 9, 2015)
(March 31st - on his way to Aglasun) I have never experienced such cutting cold, nor so strong a wind, as in this pass of the Taurus range; neither I nor any of my men could ride, and we were obliged occasionally to lie down until the gusts had ceased: the very rocks of marble seemed cut by it, for they stood in shivered points, through which the wind hissed fiercely.
Charles Fellows - Journal Written during an Excursion in Asia Minor in 1838
The snow season in Pisidia and Phrygia is not limited to a few weeks in January and February. Snowstorms can occur well into April and not just on the mountains, but on the tableland too.
Archaeological Museum of Afyonkarahisar: small statues of Cybele
Two only of the gigantic Ionic columns of the temple of Cybele are still in their place to mark, with the huge fragments which lie about them, the grand proportions of the edifice. W. Hamilton.
Hamilton made reference to a temple in Sardis, which today is best known as the Artemision. Cybele was not one of the twelve Greek bickering gods and goddesses who lived on Mount Olympus. She was the principal deity in most of Asia Minor prior to its Hellenization and she continued to be worshipped as Artemis (Diana) at Ephesus and as Magna Mother (Great Mother) in Rome. At Aizani the main temple was dedicated to Zeus and Cybele. All archaeological museums of Pisidia and Phrygia have a collection of small statues of Cybele.
Archaeological Museum of Afyonkarahisar: detail of a sarcophagus (ca 180 AD) found at Dinar and made with marble from Docimeium (both locations are in the Afyonkarahisar province)
The place is near the celebrated quarries of Synnadic or Docimitic marble and it contains numerous blocks of marble and columns, some in the rough and others beautifully worked. W. Hamilton
Archaeologists have found plenty of marble works of art in Pisidia and Phrygia because of the availability of the raw material. The quarries of Docimeium were known for pavonazzatto, a marble with veins of as many colours as those in the tail of a peacock (Lat. pavo, pavonis). In addition to pavonazzetto, Docimeium had quarries of fine-grained white marble, where the blocks were roughly shaped into architectural elements and sculptures before being shipped to workshops for the finishing touch.
Archaeological Museum of Burdur: sarcophagus found in the district of Burdur. The upside-down torch is a symbol of death
During the IInd century AD the making of statues, architectural elements (e.g. lintels, capitals, friezes, etc.) and sarcophagi became a major economic activity in Asia Minor. The workshops of Afrodisias had a reputation for the quality of their sculptures, whereas other workshops specialized in the making of sarcophagi. They developed new patterns which are known after the location where they were first found (e.g. the Sidamara type sarcophagi).
Sarcophagi portraying a couple on the couch they used for dining made the dead "attend" the banquets held every year at their tomb by relatives and friends.
Inscriptions often record the sum which the deceased has bequeathed for an annual celebration at his tomb, commonly on his birthday. This was variously performed; sometimes by libations of wine and milk (profusiones), or by the scattering of roses on the tomb (rosalia), accompanied by a feast.
John Kenrick - Roman Sepulchral Inscriptions - 1858
You may wish to see the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, a VIth century BC Etruscan sarcophagus and a Sidamara type sarcophagus in the Museum of Ostia, which most likely came from Asia Minor (they open in other windows).
Archaeological Museum of Burdur: frieze with gladiators found in 2002 at the necropolis of Kibyra, a town in Pisidia
Gladiatorial fights were very frequently depicted in reliefs and mosaics throughout the whole Roman Empire. A relief now in a museum of Trieste is almost identical to those found at Kibyra. It came from Cos where many mosaics depicted gladiatorial fights, similar to what occurred at Leptis Magna, in today's Libya.
Based on the evidence of the monuments and works of art found in Pisidia and Phrygia, it appears that, even though these regions were less favoured by nature than those on the coast (see a section on Caria, Lycia and Pamphylia), their inhabitants managed to achieve a similar standard of living and could enjoy watching gladiatorial fights.
