May 6, 2015 -- The international police agency Interpol has issued a global alert about an illegal and potentially lethal drug used for dieting and bodybuilding.
The warning concerns "2,4-dinitrophenol" (DNP), a combination of compounds that increases body temperature and metabolic rate. Last month a British woman who'd taken pills containing DNP died. The drug also left a French man seriously ill.
DNP, which is also used as a raw material for explosives, is linked to other deaths too. It's highly toxic and causes side effects like hot, dry skin, excessive thirst, and an unusually fast heartbeat.
The drug is being sold on the Internet. It's usually sold in yellow powder or capsule form, but it's also available as a cream.
Back in the 1930s it was marketed as a weight loss drug.
In April, 21-year-old Eloise Parry died in a hospital after taking tablets she bought online. Police believe they included DNP. Her family has described how "she was literally burning up from within" before her heart stopped.
An Interpol "orange notice," which warns of imminent threats, has been sent to police in 190 Interpol member countries at the request of the French interior ministry.
The French authorities and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) say they want to draw attention to the growing popularity of DNP as an aid to improving body image and performance, particularly in the bodybuilding world.
The orange notice says the risks are even higher because DNP is usually made in secret laboratories where hygiene conditions may be poor.
"We are appreciative that Interpol has issued this global warning," says David Howman, director general of WADA. "This is a perfect example of how crucial it is that law enforcement and anti-doping organizations continue to forge closer ties so that dangerous, and potentially fatal, substances such as DNP do not reach the hands of athletes."

Software enabled: Foster + Partners unveils masterplan for Shenzhen transport hub
Foster + Partners has won an international competition to design and masterplan a transport hub on the high-speed rail link between Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou.
The proposal will create an interchange between the rail link and three new metro lines as the focus of a new urban area on the outskirts of Shenzhen. The masterplan was produced with the help of software developed by the UK firm to devise the ideal arrangement of urban components.
One result of this was a network of slow-moving autonomous vehicles with skybridges and shared surfaces for cyclists and pedestrians.
Young Wei-Yang Chiu, Partner, Foster + Partners, commented: "The central idea is to capitalise on the natural beauty of the site, utilising the lush landscape to create a lively experience for visitors and locals. It will be a forest gateway into Shenzhen.
"Our proposals link the site with a slow-moving traffic network that provides efficient and easy connection to the hub. These shared surfaces ensure better accessibility throughout the whole masterplan area and create a platform ready for innovative transportation solutions for the future."
The hub will be topped by a series of towers (Foster + Partners)
The hub will have a large retail podium over the underground interchange, with stepped green terraces that create a link with the surrounding forest.
There will also be office towers, situated at cardinal points across the site to act as "gateways" to the hub. A transport museum will be built on a bridge over the high-speed rail station. The plan is that this will entertain visitors with latest virtual and augmented reality tech, and projection mapping technologies that will overlay future plans over a real-world panorama.
Grant Brooker, head of studio at Foster + Partners, said: "The Guangming Hub is a fantastic opportunity to develop a contemporary urban centre with an integrated and sustainable transport hub at its heart.
"The generously landscaped, walkable town centre will seamlessly connect to a smart autonomous transportation system, combining both well-being and convenience and creating a vibrant urban focus for the surrounding neighbourhoods."

Buy me some pinot and Cracker Jack! Pinot grigio, California merlot, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay are now sold in sealed single-serve plastic goblets. Next month, Zipz, the company behind this new format, will introduce them at baseball stadiums, including Citi Field (hear that, Mets fans?), and at wine shops.
A couple of entrepreneurs in Miami have also entered the single-serve fray with the Vini, which sells California wines in 187-milliliter (quarter-bottle or quartino) glass vials with screw caps. Bottled in Sonoma, they are far more elegant than the plastic goblets, though you need a straw or a glass for drinking.

We are happy to be a part of BIOCHAR 2021 project, taking the challenge of compost improving and creating new soil amendments that bring together the advantages of biochar and compost.
The application of biochar in soils by incorporating them into composts or growing media is an effective way to promote carbon sequestration, while improving soil fertility and water retention capabilities.However, the agronomic efficiency of solutions integrating biochar depends on multiple factors (type of biochar, doses and modes of intake, type of soil or substrate, type of target plants, etc.). In addition, the agronomic efficiency of biochar has been poorly studied under temperate climates.
The aim of the BIOCHAR 2021 project is to validate a new economic model for the production of organic amendments with high agronomic value, integrating biochar into composts that have not been valued so far.
From a selection of residual biomass collected among the "Farmers/Composters of France" network (ACF), different types of biochar will be produced and co-formulated with compost to produce amendments and growing media.
The different formulas will be tested agronomically to select the best of them, which will be marketed in amateur and professional markets via conventional composting platforms and distribution channels.
The competences gathered within the consortium supplemented by specialized subcontracting will cover the entire value chain of the proposed model (sourcing, production of standardizable biochar, formulation and production of substrates, efficiency agronomic tests) and integrate an industrial, organizational, regulatory, environmental and economic validation of the model.
Develop a strongly anchored economic model (short circuits, circular economy) centered on composting platforms.
Improve the competitiveness of composting platforms through the use of previously poorly valued co-products and the diversification of high added value products.
Develop new product lines (amendments and growing media) with high agronomic value and low carbon impact.
With a duration of 4 years and a global budget of 2 million euros, the BIOCHAR project brings together 4 SMEs (ETIA – the project leader with its subsidiary VT GREEN; 3 composting platforms belonging to the Composters Farmers network in France: Loire Compost, Agricompost10 and Agriopale) as well as 2 academic partners (INRA, Unilasalle).
Project is supported by BPI France and the regions of Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire and Grand Est. It also benefits from the labeling of the IAR, Céréales Vallée and Terralia competitiveness clusters.

Mark Guterman praises our work and explains why it is essential
Posted 25 September 2019. Supplement added 14 October 2019.
Since we added our website page "Jewish Telegraph article about Afzal Khan CBE MP" on 5 August 2019, every issue of the Jewish Telegraph has carried one or more letters about us.
Most of the correspondence has not been of enduring long-term interest, so we have not bothered adding it to our website.
However, we were very pleased when Mark Guterman copied us with a letter he had sent to the Jewish Telegraph. That is reproduced below. For those who do not know him, Mark is a good friend of the Forum and the elder son of our late Co-Founder Henry Guterman MBE.
Mark Guterman's letter as sent to Jewish Telegraph
I write in response to last week's letter from Raphi Bloom accusing the Muslim Jewish Forum of hypocrisy. I find it frustrating and ignorant that Mr bloom attacks an organisation even though he has never attended one of their events.
My late father, Henry Guterman co-founded the Forum with the Lord Mayor at the time, Afzal Khan.
My father was a communal figure and a survivor from Nazi Germany. He always stated that we had to keep our dialogue open. He was fully aware that we can't agree the politics in the Middle East, but we can try and understand how Jews and Muslims can respect each other and live together in harmony, which is the whole basis of interfaith work.
The Forum has done great work over the years, enhancing empathy between our two communities; campaigning to retain religious animal slaughter; condemning desecration of religious cemeteries; educating young people in schools and much more. It has been recognised nationally and internationally for its efforts and achievements.
Afzal Khan has apologised for stupidly sharing an antisemitic video on Facebook in 2015, saying he was, "…mortified and sincerely sorry about this genuine accident." He has made other errors and is clearly not a fan of Israel, but he is not an antisemite either.
His actions as co-founder of the Muslim Jewish Forum, supporting the establishment of the North Manchester Eruv, work to pass a European Parliament resolution calling on EU Member States and their institutions to adopt and apply the IHRA definition of antisemitism, support for Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations and more show he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
As British Jews, many of us do not agree with our own government never mind the Israeli government. In a world of increasing polarisation, we need to bring people together, not break them apart. We need to support all interfaith organisations, not abuse them.
Mark Guterman
Letter as printed by the Jewish Telegraph 20 September issue
We were disappointed that the Jewish Telegraph drastically abridged Mr Guterman's letter when publishing it, thereby losing many of Mr Guterman's key messages. That is why we have published the original text above.
INTERFAITH NEED

Letter from Co-Chair Heather Fletcher in same Jewish Telegraph issue
While creating this website page, we concluded that readers would appreciate seeing the letter below, which was printed in the same issue.
NEWSPAPER BIAS
WHILE I appreciate it is usual for newspapers to take their own slant regarding political parties, I do consider that the Jewish Telegraph has been too biased with its take on two issues recently.
Firstly, regarding the Muslim Jewish Forum, which I have been associated with both as the secretary and co-chairman for 14 years.
It is a difficult task to please both communities and take into account all views on all aspects of our cultures and faiths and even harder given the fact there are many diverse views within the two communities themselves.
However, we have tried our best and many people did not think we would get off the ground. But we are still here after 14 years and in that time we have organised 115 diverse events for the communities to mix together and also won two national awards.
Secondly, regarding the Labour Party, I feel it is necessary to redress the balance.
While it is true that antisemitism has been allowed to grow and fester in the past four years, the vast majority in Labour uphold solid views and are vehemently against antisemitism.
I have been a Labour member for 10 years and in that time I have encountered no antisemitism directed against me from Manchester, Bury or Salford Labour members.
In the three years that I have worked for Salford City Council, my Salford Labour colleagues have shown great interest in the Jewish culture.
They brought the IHRA definition on antisemitism motion to the council, which was adopted unanimously.
They attend all Holocaust Memorial Day events, and the Broughton and Kersal councillors for many years have supported the Jewish community in their wards on varied issues.
My Salford Labour colleagues have been very supportive and caring to me in the past couple of years when I encountered personal problems, and some attended the shiva house for my late father.
(Councillor) Heather Fletcher,
Salford,
Supplement: Letter from Heather Fletcher in Jewish Telegraph 4 October
After the letters above, the following week the Jewish Telegraph published another letter from a Mr Ryan Parker. (Not reproduced here for copyright reasons.) That led Co-Chair Heather Fletcher to respond.
Her letter was published in the 4 October issue, and below her letter the Editor announced that the correspondence was now closed.
ACTIVE FORUM
ALTHOUGH I feel that all the correspondence regarding the Greater Manchester Muslim Jewish Forum has become protracted, the answer to Ryan Parker's question requires a short reply.
He states: "Why does the Forum not host interfaith competitions that bring people together like football or any other social events?"
The Forum has, in fact, organised two large football tournaments for Jewish and Muslim boys in 2008 and 2013.
Also, it has organised 13 picnics, 12 iftars (after-the-fast meals), eight festive parties, four quizzes and two large concerts which have certainly encouraged Jews and Muslims to mix together in a happy, social environment.
We at the Forum are always looking to organise different sorts of events to bring the two communities together and would listen to suitable suggestions.

Community - Holly Springs
Data compiled from available Multiple Listing Service sources.
Shaded by centuries-old holly trees and filled with a small-town spirit, Holly Springs is a rapidly growing town located southwest of Raleigh. This community is a regular recipient of awards and accolades for its charming qualities and family-oriented feel.
Due to the town's rapid population growth, there are numerous new construction homes for sale in Holly Springs. Additionally, Holly Springs has maintained its heritage and charm with a variety of restored properties and historic homes. The pristine neighborhoods in Holly Springs are shaded by lush holly trees and mature landscaping. In March 2014, financial advice website NerdWallet.com named the best place in North Carolina for homeownership.
Lifestyle and Attractions
Holly Springs is a rapidly growing family-oriented town in the central part of North Carolina within the Triangle region. It is situated about 17 miles from Raleigh, putting a variety of employment opportunities, dining destinations, shops, restaurants and other big city conveniences within reach. Holly Springs was once titled the "Fastest Growing Town in the Carolinas", as it has grown more than 4,000 percent since 1980, and now has a population around 30,000. The town has managed to maintain its desirable small-town feel, and a focus on families despite this rapid growth. In fact, it was voted the "Best Place to Raise Kids in North Carolina", prompting the mayor to say "If it's good for the kids, it's good for Holly Springs".
Holly Springs has two large golf communities, Sunset Ridge and 12 Oaks, which provide a desirable country club lifestyle for its residents. Bass Lake Park hosts a walking trail, nature center, picnic shelter, and boat rentals for the 54-acre Bass Lake, a popular fishing hole in town. The Holly Springs Parks and Recreation Department maintains several parks of all shapes and sizes in town, providing a variety of places for recreation and relaxation. The popular Holly Springs Cultural Center is a $5 million complex hosting a performing arts center, outdoor stage, conference center and library. The community hosts a few annual events and festivals, including HollyFest, the Happy Holly Days Christmas Parade and more.
Nearby Schools and Higher Education
Holly Springs is part of the Wake County Public School System, the largest public school district in the state and the 16th-largest in the country. In Holly Springs, there are three public elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Additionally, there are 79 private schools located in Wake County, although none are located directly in Holly Springs. Due to the town's location within the Triangle, there are a number of higher learning opportunities within reach, including Duke University in Durham, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Holly Springs has a rich and long history, much like many small Southern towns. The Tuscarora Indians used the area around Holly Springs as a hunting ground prior to Colonial settlement, and the tribe fled North Carolina around the year 1720 to escape the influx of Europeans. The town of Holly Springs grew around fresh water springs, which are believed to be the original "holly springs". By 1800, the crossroads evolved into a village, which included a general store, church and Masonic Lodge, and eventually a sawmill and cotton gin. The community was poised to be a bustling town, but the Civil War left it economically devastated and many families moved away. This exodus was encouraged by the introduction of the Chatham Railroad running through the nearby village of Apex, which was now more attractive, as it was more connected to the outside world.
In 1875, George Benton Alford relocated his successful mercantile business from Middle Creek Township to Holly Springs, which was instrumental in the economic revival of the community. After both World Wars, Holly Springs suffered economically once again, but the population stabilized by the early 1960s.
In 1985, Holly Springs installed streetlights and constructed a public water system. A sewer plant was completed in 1985, which attracted textile giant Warp Technologies to Holly Springs. With this addition, the town saw substantial economic growth, as the tax base doubled from $8 to $16 million. The town used this boost in revenue to expand utilities, in turn attracting further development and economic prosperity, which continues to this day.

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-who-rely-on-desalination.html
From the above map we learn Saudi Arabia has the most desalination plants in the world:
"eight plants using the reverse osmosis technology and 12 using the multi-stage distillation process. The country has the largest floating desalination plant in the world with a capacity of producing up to 882,867 cubic feet."
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Israel operate most of the world's plants, design and build them for other countries.
https://www.water.vic.gov.au/water-grid-and-markets/desalination/desalination-background/desalination-history
The above provides a history of desalination, which they tell us has been understood by humans for thousands of years.
…."Greek sailors used to boil water to evaporate fresh water away from the salt, and Romans used clay filters to trap salt."
The World Bank reports that at least 80 countries have water shortages and 2 billion people lack access to clean water. More disturbingly, the World Health Organization has reported that 1 billion people lack enough water to simply meet their basic needs, unfortunately in many countries water is scarce or contaminated.
Australia's experience with desalination includes wood-fired stills at the Coolgardie goldfields 100 years ago, solar ponds at Coober Pedy, and electrodialysis for the first plant at Yulara.
There are about 270 desalination plants in Australia, most of them small-scale plants to desalinate seawater or brackish water for a range of uses. This includes drinking water supplies for communities or tourist destinations (e.g. Kangaroo and Rottnest islands), industrial processes, irrigation of sports grounds, and agricultural uses.
Desalination plants have been constructed in major Australian coastal cities to produce large amounts of drinking water for urban populations.
https://complete-water.com/resources/the-history-of-reverse-osmosis#when
The importance of the history and application of reverse osmosis is explained in the above article. Here are some timeline facts:
….."Osmosis has taken place for millions of years and happens in our bodies every day.
The process of osmosis through semipermeable membranes was first observed in a laboratory setting in 1748 by Jean-Antoine Nollet, using a pig's bladder as a membrane. He proved that a solvent could pass selectively through a semi-permeable membrane through the process of natural osmotic pressure and the solvent will continually enter through the cell membrane until dynamic equilibrium is reached on both sides of the bladder.
Over the next 200 years, osmosis was only a phenomenon observed in the laboratory. In 1949, the University of California at Los Angeles was the first to look to osmosis and semipermeable membranes for a solution of removing salt from seawater. Researchers from both the University of California and the University of Florida successfully produced fresh water from seawater in the mid-1950s, however, the product was not commercially viable due to high flux. John Cadotte, of FilmTec Corporation, later discovered that membranes with particularly high flux and low salt passage could be made by interfacial polymerization of m-phenylenediamine and trimesoyl chloride. By 2001, over 15,00 desalination plants were up and running, or planned for, around the world.
https://aqueum.com/water-treatment/unit-processes/desalination/msf/
The above link explains the desalination plant design which precede the American designed reverse osmosis system.
Multi-stage flash has been superseded by reverse osmosis. Older MSF plants are not environmentally friendly and they are costly, but when introduced were providing vital drinking and irrigation water to desert lands.
Multi-stage flash (MSF) is a thermal desalination process. It distills water by boiling it under vacuum (also known as flashing), then condensing the pure water vapour. It uses multiple shell and tube heat exchangers called stages.
MSF was the market leader in terms of sea water desalination for many years. Around 2009 reverse osmosis overtook MSF as the most popular in terms of installed sea water desalination capacity.
Israel has recently built a highly sophisticated reverse osmosis plant which provides drinking and fresh irrigation water to land hit by 6 years of drought in southern Israel. Gaza lies in the same region but has no such facility although it lies on the coast.
Now Israel has achieved such a respected name for what it has achieved it is building a desalination plant, based in San Diego, California.
"Fast emerging technologies are now making desalination a viable proposition not only for the arid areas of the world but for places not usually associated with water shortages. IDE Technologies, a leading water sector Israeli company which is internationally recognized as a pioneer and leader in the delivery of sophisticated water solutions, is leading the charge."
Of the new California contract they proudly state:
"Providing a new source of water in a state that has long suffered severe droughts, the Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant will be quenching the thirst of roughly 10 percent of San Diego County, according to IDE. Employing advanced pretreatment and seawater reverse osmosis technologies, the plant is able to generate potable water of the highest quality while significantly reducing energy consumption."
There are many coastal countries in the world whose peoples would not be dying from years of famine caused by long term drought if these same plants were to be built under a rescue plan. Then they could provide for themselves and not need costly aid from foreign intervention. No person should be without fresh, clean water.

A sunny scene from a previous Land of Goshen Community Market.
EDWARDSVILLE — With the city council's permission Tuesday, the Land of Goshen Community Market would open the 2019 season on May 11.
The market, which occupies St. Louis Street between Main and Second streets on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and noon, would last until Oct. 19. St. Louis Street would be closed between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. on those Saturdays.
The open-air market usually attracts between 50 and 60 full- and partial-season vendors, such as Accornero Farm and Apiary, J & J Chocolate Chalet, Reinhardt's Berry Patch, Buffalo Tracks and Goshen Ambrosia O'Kettle Corn.
There will also be an information tent, live music on most Saturdays, demonstrations and community organizations.
Besides the street closure, co-managers Candice Watson and Tara Pohlman requested use of the "Streetscape" electricity at the streetlights to be turned on for vendors' use, use of the city-owned parking lot across from Newsong Fellowship Church, located at 201 St. Louis Street and use of the "block party" electric power in the parking lot's northeast corner.
A committee of local business owners and residents founded the market in 1997. The current leaders are affectionately known as the Board of Tomatoes. For more details about the market in general, visit www.goshenmarket.org.

Barnet three-year review highlights £31m savings in Capita contract
Barnet Council has reviewed its Customer and Support Group (CSG) contract with Capita and concluded that it is delivering "significant benefits" to the borough, generating overall savings of £31m.
However, the review refers to 'performance challenges' notably in ICT and estates services.
The review says, "Not surprisingly with a contract of this scale and complexity, there have been performance challenges in all services, some of which have been significant. This has most notably been the case with the ICT and estates services, both of which it is acknowledged had performance issues going back a number of years prior to contract commencement. Instability in the senior management of these services is likely to have contributed to these issues."
In order to improve the effectiveness of project management within the ICT service, the review proposed that two further dedicated project teams be established to support the ICT transformation programme. One team would focus on programme and project management, whilst the other would provide the key technical resource required to deliver the council's ICT strategy.
The review suggested that in addition to improving the quality of the service, "the certainty that this would provide in respect of resourcing levels would also enable savings of approximately £660k to be achieved against contracted rates. The cost of the two teams would be approximately £700k per annum." As this expenditure relates to future projects, it represents future cost avoidance," the review said. The review recommended that Barnet members endorse the establishment of a dedicated ICT project support team.
Barnet originally awarded Capita a 10-year contract to run the council's Customer and Support Group (CSG), including HR, finance, IT and estates, as well as outward-facing customer services (face to face customer contact, telephone call centre, and website) and the revenues and benefits service in 2013.
The CSG contract allows for a review this year i.e. at the end of year three, designed to give both the council and Capita an opportunity to consider what is working well; identify areas for improvement; and consider the changing needs and priorities of the council.
Barnet said its review had shown that 76% of residents were satisfied with the outward-facing customer services, up from 52% before the contract was established.
Barnet added that its review showed that the cost of delivering the bundle of services provided in the contract is now £6m a year less than before the contract was signed and that 90% of the contract's key performance indicators were either being met or exceeded. The overall £31m savings figure includes savings from procurement and additional council tax income received.
According to the review, Capita is keen to explore options around extending the Barnet contract beyond the original ten-year term. However, for now, the council says improvements to services, plus new initiatives, as set out in the report, "should be the primary focus at this stage."
It continued, "It is therefore proposed that the outcomes of this review be seen as an enabler to aid discussions of a possible extension towrds the end of this financial year."
Councillor Anthony Finn, chairman of Barnet's performance and contract management committee said, "With council budgets under significant pressure, the fact that these services are now costing the Barnet taxpayer £6m less each year to deliver is substantial. I'm also pleased that Capita is meeting the agreed performance targets in the contract and that user satisfaction is going up. We have set Capita challenging performance targets and there is more work to be done in certain areas, but so far this has been a good deal for the borough."
Barnet council leader, councillor Richard Cornelius, said: "I am very pleased to see that, three years into the contract with Capita to supply our back office and customer services, we are seeing substantial savings as well as increased resident satisfaction. This review confirms the contract is providing tangible benefits for our residents."

Episode 10: Can We Talk Sequel?
It must be a movie monster, it won't die!
With this episode, I'm going to bring Season 1 of "The How NOT To Make A Movie Podcast" to an end – but only because there's a sequel coming – a Season Two of "The How NOT To Make A Movie Podcast"! It'll be about the same thing but sorta different! Before I get too deep into sequels though, I need to finish with all the old business first. I've still got a few last Season 1 stories to tell.
Music From The Crypt
When we were running "Tales From The Crypt", one of the elements that mattered a lot to Gil was music. Gil has mentioned that he starts his "directing process" by trying to imagine what the music would be. It sets an important tone in his head. Literally. Gil reached out to feature film composers. In part, that was because our mandate was "don't look or sound like a TV show!" When we made Crypt, TV shows sounded one way and feature films sounded another.
Gil brought in big name feature composers like Chris Boardman ("The Color Purple"), Jay Ferguson ("Terminator"), James Horner ("Titanic") and Alan Silvestri ("Forrest Gump"). We got those feature composers to do our "dumb little TV show". Actually, getting them often just involved picking up the phone. Everyone wanted to "do" Crypt.
It had a "mystique".
Hiring Superman
The first Crypt episode Gil directed was called "What's Cookin". It's about a couple who own a failing cafe. When their landlord goes to evict them, the homeless guy who sweeps up for them steps in "to help". When the couple show up the next day, expecting to be locked out, instead, they find the doors open and a pile of fresh steak in the fridge. Unsure what this means, the wife throws a steak onto the grill and the smell brings more customers in the door than they've ever had. Success! She throws more steaks onto the grill. The problem – the steaks all came from the landlord who's hanging in the meat locker in back!
Having executive producers like Joel Silver, Bob Zemeckis, Walter Hill and Dick Donner gave us huge advantages when it came to casting. Dick Donner – director of "The Omen", "The Goonies", "Assassins" and the "Lethal Weapon" movies among others – asked Gil who he was thinking about for the lead. Gil mentioned Christopher Reeve – who Dick had worked with on "Superman" (1978). At that moment, getting Christopher Reeve to do any TV show was impossible.
But, we got him to do our episode of Crypt. We got Bess Armstrong to play the wife and Judd Nelson to play the homeless guy (who kills the landlord and cuts him into steaks). The best casting was the actor Victoria Burrows wanted for the landlord – the source of those steaks: Meatloaf (the musician and actor – not the actual meat)! I mean, how hilarious is that?
Even if Meatloaf had sucked in the part, we had to cast him!
How To Break Bad News To People
Anyway – among the stories you'll hear in this episode – working with Christopher Reeve. We'll tell two stories about another episode Gil and I wrote and that Gil directed – "Death Of Some Salesmen". The first will be our music story – the one where Gil got Oscar-nominated composer Michael Kamen.
Among Michael's credits: "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves", "Brazil", "Die Hard", "Last Action Hero", "The Iron Giant" and the "Lethal Weapon" movies. Getting Michael was a coup. We were thrilled about it. And then we went to listen to the first pass at the score he'd written for us.
And that's when things got uncomfortable.
There's also a near-disaster story – Todd Masters tells a harrowing tale about makeup special effects, a schedule gone awry and actor Tim Curry who was playing three roles! Finally, Gil will tell us what it takes to get a big feature film green lit. Gil's done it in the room. It's a great story.
Finally, there's "our" story. The one we're telling right here in this blog and podcast. As I said up top, though this episode marks the end of Season 1, it isn't the end. We're doing a sequel!
Season Two!!!
In Season Two, we'll swap our "The Making Of Bordello Of Blood" subtitle for "Horror Stories From The Movie Making Trenches". So, they'll be the same tales of "film craft turning to crap" from the first season where we described making Bordello. We'll just get to tell them about other movies.
By "we" I mean my old creative partner Gil Adler and I. We're putting the band back together!
Together Gil and I will tell even more stories from our past (we've but scratched the surface!) and invite in guests with "Bordello-like" stories of their own where film making craft turned into crap. Between Gil and I, we know an awful lot of interesting (big name) film and TV people with an awful lot of amazing stories about film making fiascos.
No one climbs the show biz mountain without getting bruised. We're going to tell you the stories of those bruises – from the inside.
So, please – joint us for Season Two. Make us a habit. Better yet, tell your friends. Tell your enemies even (they'll become your friends). Tell everyone you know. Share the good times!
We're already looking forward to it!

"I'm… I think I'm by Rainbow Bridge." Zhu Lingling's voice was breaking. Huo Mian could tell – not only was Zhu Lingling sad as hell, she was also drunk and couldn't even pronounce words correctly.
"Stay there, I'm coming for you now," Huo Mian hung up the phone and jumped up. She snatched her jacket off the coat stand in the living room.
"What's wrong?" Qin Chu noticed the anxiety on her face.
"No, it's fine…" Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu was tired from work. Unwilling to cause him trouble, she planned on hailing a cab.
However, before she could even finish her sentence, Qin Chu had already put on his jacket, grabbed his car keys, and headed out the door.
The traffic wasn't heavy at that time of the night, and Qin Chu was a fast driver. It took less than 15 minutes for them to get to Rainbow Bridge.
Huo Mian saw a familiar figure on the bridge from afar.
She was wearing a red dress and stumbling by the side of the bridge – who else could it be but Zhu Lingling?
"My gosh, is my girl trying to kill herself?" Without thinking, Huo Mian ran out of the car as soon as it came to a stop.
After Qin Chu parked the car, and he headed their direction as well.
Zhu Lingling was their high school classmate, and the trio had known each other for years. Although Qin Chu wasn't interested in any woman other than Huo Mian, he knew that Zhu Lingling was Huo Mian's best and only close friend over the past few years.
"Lingling," Huo Mian grabbed Zhu Lingling from behind and dragged her off Rainbow Bridge.
This girl was usually a careless extrovert and had a mouth that won't quit. It was rare for her to act like this.
Huo Mian guessed that something bad must have happened to her for her to be like this.
"Mian, I don't want to live anymore. I'm so sad, and my heart hurts too much. It hurts like hell in here…" Zhu Lingling cried as she pointed at her heart.
"Lingling, take a breath, tell me what happened. Let's go," Huo Mian took off her own jacket and put it on Zhu Lingling.
Qin Chu didn't say anything, but he immediately took off his own jacket and placed it on Huo Mian.
"Can we bring her back to our place?" Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu for his approval.
Qin Chu didn't answer directly, but his reply meant that he was okay with it.
Qin Chu and Huo Mian both had extreme OCD, and their condo was without a single speck of dust.
Plus, they were secretly married, so no one else had ever stepped into their home.
Huo Mian asked Qin Chu because she didn't want him to be mad.
However, for whatever reason, Qin Chu agreed, which greatly comforted her.
"Okay." Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu thought it would be awkward for him to stay, and he wanted Huo Mian and Zhu Lingling to be able to speak in private.
At that moment, she felt a sense of gratitude towards Qin Chu. He was extremely considerate and understanding.
Yes, he was bossy and arrogant, but he always knew where to draw the line and never tried to make Huo Mian's life hard.
Huo Mian gave Zhu Lingling a nightgown to change into and poured her a glass of brown-sugar water with dates.
The two sat on the couch. Zhu Lingling was no longer aggravated, and she looked much more lucid than she was earlier.
Huo Mian smoothed out Zhu Lingling's bangs and asked sympathetically.

Galaxy cluster RDCS 1252.9-2927 is full of hot X-ray-emitting gas (purple in this composite image). Scientists believe the cluster is held together by a mass of invisible, as yet unidentified particles.
The plan assigns top priority to investigating dark energy, an all-pervasive, mysterious force that seems to be pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing pace. The tools to do this are already on the drawing boards. A space-based telescope, tentatively named the Joint Dark Energy Mission, will map the expansion of the universe, while a complementary instrument on the ground will map clusters of mass in the cosmos. The experiments are expected to take 10 years to build, Turner says. Other urgent goals include the construction of an underground facility to study exotic subatomic physics—including hypothetical invisible particles known as dark matter—and an expanded effort to search for gravity waves, which are ripples in the structure of space and time.

Dodgers' best and worst moments of 2009
Manny Ramirez is suspended for 50 games. Look down and you'll see that Ramirez's suspension, handed down on May 6 for violating baseball's drug policy, is also ranked the worst moment of the season. The positive view is that Ramirez's absence let the Dodgers know they could win without him. Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp established themselves as All-Star-caliber players in his absence. One of the team's least popular players over the last two seasons, Juan Pierre emerged as one of the most popular, in part because of how he played in place of Ramirez in left field.

2 wet days in a row. the day before was raining in cambridge, and this time rain interfered with our plans to go greenwich, well at least we had a superb lunch to make up for the dreary start.
#1 the crispy duck salad – pulled duck with crispy skin bits in plum sauce, melon & dragon fruits & beautiful salad – was a superb dish. it was substantial too, with quite a good portion of duck meat. to me it was equal to any good appetiser in a top western restaurant.
#3 the 3rd course was a wagyu, japanese yam, cripsy sweet potato & egg fried rice. the braised wagyu was top draw, soft tender braised texture not too sinewy & still bouncy, definitely better than the ox cheek at Joel Robuchon, and different but equal to the braised lamb shoulder at honey & co.
#4 the salted cashew nuts, milk & peanut parfait, chocolate, & lime sorbet was also a very good dessert. the parfait under the peanut crust was much like a good ice cream.


Can you take the feat: Mithral Fluidity more than once? and does it give you additional benefit to do so?
I have taken it once and when I was able to get a new feat upon leveling it still appeared as an option in the feat list.
Does it stack if taken twice?
Yep, it stacks with itself.
So how many time can you take it? 3? 4? and if so has anyone done so to what benefit?
So how many time can you take it? 3? 4? and if so has anyone done so to what benefit?In theory, you could use all 5 feats and take it 5 times. But, using a feat to increase your AC is not advisable. If you're a fighter, try the Fighter's Armor Mastery enhancement (not 100% sure this works for WF, but worth a look since enhancements are able to be reset). If you're not a fighter, why bother? There's much better uses of feats out there.
yeah, i suppose if you went fighter and had a 28 dex with adamantine plating, then taking 5 mithral fluity and fighter armor mastery 3 could be done. But at that point, a dwarf with a 24 dex could use it fully with the dwarven version of armor mastery. A high dex WF should just go mithral or composite with they have a huge dex.
Though it is a neat though, with the daggertooth belt a WF in adamantine could fully use a 30 dex, though it's probably best to go mithral.composite.
yeah, i suppose if you went fighter and had a 28 dex with adamantine plating, then taking 5 mithral fluity and fighter armor mastery 3 could be done.
The maximum Dex bonus you have is increased by 1, and the armor check penalties are decreased by 1.
bah, darn you and your logic! ok then, with 5 fludies, daggertooth belt, and armor mastery 3 a mithral plated WF can have a max dex of 37, if that's even possible for a WF.
Mithral Body (+5), 5 Mithral Fluidities (+5), and FAM3 (+3) requires 36 DEX to fill out. And no, a WF cannot hit that yet (static score, no buffs/pots). A WF Ranger/Rogue can hit 33DEX and use FAM2 from Daggertooth's Belt. Or a WF Fighter can hit 30 DEX and use FAM3 and 2 Mithral Fluidities.
Actually a warforged can only take 4 mithral fluidities, due to having to spend the first feat on mithral body. Still though, that's a 9 max dex bonus on a breastplate.
I think the more interesting one though is improved damage reduction, with adamantine body and 4 improved DR feats and the +2DR enhancement a warforged can hit a permanent 8dr/adamantine. Pity you cant take more with the fighter bonus feats... if they ever implement the rogue bonus feats correctly a rogue could hit 11 DR/adamantine.
Sadly though, if they gave gave rogues a DR it would more than likely be the same as the barbarian DR and wouldn't stack with the WF DR.
A wf ranger with a decent dex at end game (26 or so) can use the mithral fluidity feats to make up for the ac lost by not wearing a shield. Having a competitive AC to make up for your free TWF feats is nicey nice. With 3 mithral fluidities and a shield spell (umd on a shield level 10 wand is way super awesome friends) you're doing the same AC-wise as a fighter wearing a +5 heavy shield, but swinging twice as much. With two weapon defense you're actually one up on them :) Filling out your build with 2 fighter levels will let you take the feats without missing out on imp crit and such.

KremlinLeaks
By	Yulia Latynina
While leading publications like the Guardian, El Pais, Der Spiegel and The New York Times were publishing in-depth analytical articles based on documents posted on WikiLeaks, the web site's Russian partner, Russian Reporter magazine, created an unpleasant surprise by running a series of articles containing outright lies. The first article focused on the Russia-Georgia war of 2008: "Reading the reports of U.S. ambassadors to Georgia … no one in the world had any illusions about the fact that [Georgian President Mikheil] Saakashvili started the war."
But U.S. ambassadors had the exact opposite opinion on who was responsible for the conflict.
Andrei Illarionov, former economic adviser to then-President Vladimir Putin, has suggested that we are dealing with a new disinformation campaign by the authorities. Unable to refute the compromising information contained in U.S. diplomatic cables, Russia's intelligence services are trying to minimize the damage by distorting their content, using Russian Reporter as a conduit.
And that was not the only surprising statement that appeared in the magazine's articles. It also reported that the sources on whom the U.S. ambassador to Moscow relies when he prepares reports to Washington are "experts who slander the ruling regime year after year."
One article claims that "before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the UN General Assembly, the U.S. State Department sent a directive to all European countries indicating when their representatives should leave the hall." The Swedish ambassador was instructed to leave the room once he heard the word "holocaust," the article claimed, but Ahmadinejad unexpectedly never pronounced the word.
"The representatives of other countries left, but the Swedish diplomat remained in the hall, sending alarm signals and asking his American mentor, 'What should I do?'" Russian Reporter wrote.
There is just one problem with this claim: Russian Reporter made all of this up. The diplomatic cables posted on WikiLeaks said nothing of the sort.
The co-author of the Russian Reporter articles was Russian-Israeli journalist Israel Shamir. He is infamous for denying the Holocaust and writing about the conditions under which Jews are willing to sacrifice children. Shamir is also infamous for claiming that many Jews received text messages warning them in advance of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.
Shamir has offered his services not only to Russian Reporter but to Kommersant as well. Considering Shamir's reputation, it is no surprise that Kommersant declined the offer.
Reputable newspapers took a completely different and more responsible approach to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's leaks. They carefully sorted the archives made public on WikiLeaks and then published in-depth, balanced analytical articles examining the content of what they had found.
In contrast, Russian Reporter published articles written by a notorious anti-Semite who didn't even bother reading the original documents.

The historic breakthroughs in the science of metallurgy over the last quarter century have produced an array of new metallic building materials. Architects and designers now have a far broader palette of metals to choose from than at any other time in history, and metal is fast becoming the star building material featured in some of today′s most exciting new building projects.
A book whose time has come, Archi–tectural Metals is the first comprehensive guide to the metals and metallic finishes currently available for use in architecture. Learn from a fourth–generation expert in the field who has, over the past fifteen years, consulted on some of the world′s most prestigious building projects. Architectural Metals demystifies metals for architects, artisans, and design professionals providing them with a logical framework for the selection and use of the correct material for the job at hand.
Encyclopedic in scope, Architectural Metals is an extremely user–friendly working resource supplying readers with instant access to a wealth of essential information about the forms and behaviors of metallic building materials. From aluminum, stainless steel, copper, lead, and zinc to new metals and finishes such as titanium, pewter–coated copper, and colored stainless steel, it describes everything architects, engineers, and design professionals need to know about all the common and many uncommon metals at their disposal.
Each chapter of Architectural Metals is devoted to a specific type of metal, metallic finish, or coating. Each includes a historical overview, environmental concerns, an exhaustive description of available forms and (where appropriate) colors, performance evaluations, finishes, weathering and corrosion characteristics, maintenance and restoration techniques, fastening, welding, and joining methods, and more. And since each metal–producing industry has its own unique jargon and systems of measurement, the author takes pains throughout to define relevant terms and translate measurement and thickness indices into familiar inch and millimeter scales.
Destined to become a standard in the field, Architectural Metals is an indispensable tool for architects, designers, and artisans who work with metals.

Salvadorans to Celebrate 30 Years of the Peace Accords Signing
On Sunday, it will be 30 years since the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) and the El Salvador State signed peace after 12 years of civil war (1980-1992), which left 75,000 dead and over 8,000 citizens disappeared. Below are some key events that marked these three decades.
Salvadoran Priest Killed by Death Squads to Be Beatified
1980: THE WAR BEGINS
On March 24, 1980, Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero was assassinated by a death squad sniper while celebrating mass.
On October 10, social and political organizations founded the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN), which began its first armed offensive in January 1981. From that moment on, the U.S.-backed Salvadoran Army intensified its dirty war against the people in an attempt to contain the advance of the guerrillas.
Besides arising as a consequence of poverty and exclusion, the civil war was the people's response to decades of military dictatorship, which murdered its opponents, social activists, and human rights defenders with impunity.
1989: ARENA TAKES THE PRESIDENCY
In March 1989, businessman Alfredo Cristiani won the Presidency for the period 1989-1994. He was sponsored by the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), a far-right party founded by Roberto D'Aubuisson, who planned the assassination of Monsignor Romero.
From Nov. 11 to Dec. 12, the FMLN launched "Up to the Top", the civil war's largest military offensive. On Nov. 16, the Salvadoran Army assassinates the Spanish Jesuits Ignacio Ellacuria, Segundo Montes, Ignacio Martin-Baro, Amando Lopez, and Juan Ramon Moreno. The Salvadorans Joaquin Lopez, Elba and Celina Ramos were also murdered with them. President Cristiani was involved in planning the massacre.
1990: PEACE NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN
In April in Switzerland, the FMLN and the Salvadoran government sign the "Geneva Agreements", committing themselves to accept the mediation of the United Nations and continue negotiations for peace.
On January 16, 1992, the parties sign the "Chapultepec Agreements" in Mexico, which formally ended the civil war.

1992: POST-WAR SITUATION
Starting in 1992, the FMLN became the first opposition political force in El Salvador. In the 1994 general elections, this organization won 15 mayoralties and 21 seats in Congress.
In 1999, the FMLN competes in the presidential elections for the second time. Although it failed to win, the leftist organization remains a constantly growing political force.
2009: THE FMLN REMOVED THE RIGHT-WING FROM POWER
In 2009, the FMLN candidate, journalist Mauricio Funes, won the presidency of El Salvador, removing ARENA from power for the first time in twenty years. The transfer of power from Arena to the FMLN is the first peaceful transition of government since the Peace Accords.
In 2014, the FMLN assumes the presidency for the second time with the former guerrilla commander Salvador Sanchez Ceren.
2019: BUKELE BREAKS THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM
Businessman Nayib Bukele won the 2019 presidential elections, thus breaking three decades of ARENA and FMLN governments. His administration has been accused of repeated violations of human rights, lack of transparency, and corruption.
During El Salvador's bloody civil war, the U.S. provided a total of $4.25 billion in political and military aid. pic.twitter.com/8EQazd7U0N

Michael "Mikey" Jones MBE (born 10 June 1994) is a British Paralympic swimmer classified as a S7 competitor for swimmers with physical disabilities. Jones competed at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in the 50 metre freestyle, 100 metre freestyle, and won gold in the 400 metre freestyle. He is coached by Mark Rose.

Early life
Michael Jones was born in Poole on 10 June 1994 with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy that primarily affects his legs. Jones began swimming at age 10, was a member of the New Milton Seagulls swimming club, and attended Mount Kelly School on a swimming scholarship. He attended Ballard School in New Milton, Hampshire before studying at Loughborough University.

Swimming career
After competing in the trials for the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Jones underwent three major surgeries and broke his leg that year.

In preparation for the 2016 Summer Paralympics, Jones began training at the Para-Swimming National Performance Centre in Manchester in September 2015. Despite pulling out of the IPC Swimming European Championships earlier that year due to injury, he competed in Rio de Janeiro in the 50 metre freestyle, 100 metre freestyle, and won gold in the 400 metre freestyle with a time of 4:45.78. Jones swam in the 2018 World Para Swimming European Championships, winning gold in the 400 metre freestyle. He is coached by Mark Rose.

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to swimming.

Q: types of classes to serialize de-serialize Is it possible to deserialize from protobuf-net without knowing apriori the type of the object ?
( this is required since I wish to use protobuf-net with ScaleOut software which would eventually store objects of different types so when providing the callback of the serializer method , the object type is not known ).

A: This depends on a few factors. Firstly, we need to be clear between three different scenarios:

*

*type known statically as Foo - can simply use the generic API

*type not known statically, but the Type will be known somehow at runtime - can use the non-generic API

*type not known at all

I'm assuming you mean the third option. This is the most problematic, because protobuf doesn't include type metadata - and indeed the same data can be deserialized as any compatible type : it doesn't need to be the same type.
If it is the last case and the data is already serialized, then there aren't many good options except maybe a pure "extensible" type (the Extensible base type provides runtime access to unknown fields, and round-trip support). However, it can't materialize into a specific object type because it won't know what type to use.
Protobuf-net does add a "dynamic types" feature which shims over this somewhat, but this would only work for new data - it requires a specific configuration. To be honest, I tend to advise against it - it is complex, and not "standard protobuf".

Prophetic Worship 01 -What does prophetic mean?
first….I am no expert. I only have my own personal experiences, other people's experiences found in stories, videos and books….and of course….the Bible.
Here are my thoughts on Prophetic Worship.
Prophetic Worship is a combination of two concepts (1) the prophetic and (2) worship.
I believe the word prophetic is simply an adjective. It is a describing word.
For the purpose of this Prophetic Worship post, worship is being described as prophetic.
The Hebrew word for prophesy is naba. It's phonetic spelling is nä·vä (nah-VAH). It means to speak or sing under divine inspiration.
The word prophetic even describes one of its associated roots: prophecy.
This word prophecy should not be confused with the word prophesy.
'Prophecy' is the noun (person, place or THING) result of the verb (action) 'prophesy'.
I remember a very simple definition I heard once. I want to share it with you now. ….to 'prophesy' means to speak or sing under divine inspiration.
The Hebrew Language is generally accepted to be one of the seven oldest languages known to man. The Hebrew word for prophesy is naba. It's phonetic spelling is nä·vä (nah-VAH). Once again, it means to speak or sing under divine inspiration.
