Many agents live by the motto "strike while the iron is hot." You get a call from a prospective buyer who tells you they are standing in front of one of your listings, and they would like to see it. Sticking to this philosophy, you tell the person to wait there. You drop what you're doing and dash over to the listing to show the property. After all, you don't want to give them time to find another property and change their mind.
Unfortunately, this scenario has led to brokers being robbed, sexually assaulted or even killed. Criminals use this tactic to lure brokers to unoccupied houses for the sole purpose of committing criminal acts. Other environments, like open houses, frequently put brokers alone and in vulnerable positions as well.
Because of concerns over agent safety, the North Carolina Real Estate Commission (NCREC) has taken steps to help brokers avoid potentially unsafe situations. Several years ago, the NCREC published a brochure called North Carolina Real Estate Agent Safety Guide. This brochure gives recommendations on steps brokers can take to protect themselves. The NCREC also recently published an article discussing agent safety in their newsletter, The Real Estate Bulletin.
The NCREC is now scheduled to revisit a decision, made many years ago, regarding agent safety as a topic for real estate elective continuing education. The NCREC's rule on topics for elective continuing education subject matter states that the topic must "help assure that real estate licensees possess the knowledge, skills and competence necessary to function in the real estate business in a manner that protects and serves the public interest." This rule further states the topic must "enable licensees to better serve real estate consumers, and the subject matter must be directly related to real estate practice." Originally, the NCREC decided that agent safety did not meet the criteria for an elective topic, but they are now reconsidering that prior decision and may allow agent safety as a topic for elective CE credit in the future.
When you are meeting someone for the first time, have the meeting in your office or some other public place. You do not want to meet someone for the first time in a secluded location when you are by yourself.
Check out the person you are planning to meet. Search for their name on social networking websites and search engines. Get a copy of their driver's license before you go out with them so they know they can be identified if anything happens.
If at all possible, do not sit at an open house alone. If you can't have someone with you, make sure someone regularly checks on you.
Tell people where you are going and when you plan to return. If you do not return by the scheduled time, someone should call and check on you.
Avoid putting yourself in spaces where you are trapped, like bathrooms and closets. Stay in the hallways and keep the person in front of you. Always try to leave yourself an escape route.
Be assertive and confident if you feel uncomfortable or threatened. If a person says or does something inappropriate, tell them, in no uncertain terms, that they need to stop.
Make sure your cell phone is charged and readily available. There are safety mobile apps available for smart phones that can be used to instantly alert others when you need help. Others will send out your GPS coordinates. There are even safety apps designed specifically for real estate brokers.
Do not wear expensive jewelry that might make you an inviting target.
Trust your instincts. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
Making safety your top priority and avoiding dangerous situations are the best ways to protect yourself and avoid becoming a crime statistic.

Tension Over Tysons Corner Development Cap: Kafia A. Hosh at the Washington Post reports that Fairfax is proposing a change to its office space cap. The cap was initially put into place to move the car-dependent area into a more walkable area. But the cap created a run on development plans, and they were often submitted in the earliest stages of planning. Now, Fairfax County wants businesses to wait to count development plans toward the cap only when they're in the final planning stages. Developers are protesting the added step, saying it could make securing financing more difficult.
DC Council to Scrutinize Online Gambling Implementation: DC Lottery announced it would begin rolling out legalized Internet gambling this summer, which was passed in a budget bill earlier this year. If the plan goes forth, DC would be become the first in the US to legalize Internet gambling. Many members of the DC Council, including Ward One's Jim Graham, are saying they hadn't properly vetted the law. They plan to hold a hearing on the bill today.
Taxpayers Subsidize Parades, Marathons: Freeman Klopott at the Washington Examiner finds that DC taxpayers are often footing the bill for festivals, parades, and other public events through police time. Though technically groups are supposed to reimburse the city for security provided by city police, many groups get fees waived by appealing to public officials. The city has waived more than $732,000 in security fees since 2008. Klopott has a complete breakdown of the fees.
Food Banks to Start Charging for Produce: WTOP notes that Capital Area Food Bank will start charging members 10 cents per pound for produce on Friday thanks to rising food and transportation costs.

Erbium lasers can effectively cut hard biological tissues despite the limited water content of these materials. However, deposition of thermal energy into the tissue can be a concern for tissue such as teeth. It has been demonstrated in animal models that permanent damage can occur with a pulpal temperature rise of 5 degree(s)C. Therefore, it is necessary to cool such materials during the ablation process to avoid a buildup of thermal energy. an Er:YAG laser was used to ablate hard dental materials, such as dentin and enamel, in vitro. Temperature measurements were made by inserting a thermocouple probe at various locations within teeth. a fine stream of water flowing over the irradiation site was an effective means of cooling the teeth and did not limit the ablation rate significantly over the range of flow rates tested. Temperature rises near the ablation site were limited to less than 5 degree(s)C with the water spray; temperature rises of greater than 20 degree(s)C were seen with no water spray. Moderate variation in the water flow rate had a minimal effect on the temperature rise; most of the thermal energy was convected away with water flow rates as low as 5 ml/min.

US hospitals turn down remdesivir, limit use to severely ill since July

Updated : Sep 12, 2020, 1:10 pm IST
The slowdown suggests that a shortage of the drug is over and threatens Gilead's efforts to expand use of remdesivir
A surplus of remdesivir marks a turnaround from earlier in the pandemic, when supplies of the drug had fallen short of demand in some regions.
Washington: U.S. hospitals have turned down about a third of their allocated supplies of the COVID-19 drug remdesivir since July as need for the costly antiviral wanes, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed on Friday.
Some hospitals said they are still buying the Gilead Sciences GILD.O medicine to build inventory in case the pandemic accelerates over the winter. But they said current supplies are adequate, in part because they are limiting use to severely ill patients.
The Food and Drug Administration has allowed more liberal remdesivir use, but 6 out of 8 major hospital systems contacted by Reuters said they were not using it for moderate cases.
The slowdown suggests that a shortage of the drug is over and threatens Gilead's efforts to expand use of remdesivir, which it sells under the brand name Veklury in some countries.
An HHS spokesperson confirmed on Friday that between July 6 and September 8, state and territory public health systems accepted about 72% of the remdesivir they were offered. Hospitals in turn purchased only about two-thirds of what states and territories accepted, as previously detailed to Reuters by Michael Ganio, senior director of pharmacy practice and quality at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
Gilead did not respond to a request for comment.
A surplus of remdesivir - which costs $3,120 for a 6-vial intravenous course - marks a turnaround from earlier in the pandemic, when supplies of the drug had fallen short of demand in some regions.
Government-led distribution of remdesivir will expire at the end of September. Hospitals said they have little information on availability after that.
Remdesivir was first authorized by the FDA in May for emergency use in COVID-19 patients hospitalized and on oxygen support after data showed it helped shorten hospital recovery time.
'NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSED'
The agency last month expanded use to hospitalized patients who do not require oxygen support, based on data published in the JAMA medical journal showing that the drug provided a modest benefit for those patients.
The newer data has left many experts unconvinced.
"I am not terribly impressed with the study," said Dr. Adarsh Bhimraj, an infectious disease specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. He said he remains "skeptical" about using remdesivir in patients with moderate COVID-19, especially given the price.
Dr. Rajesh Gandhi, an infectious disease physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said his center has stayed focused on using remdesivir for the narrower population of seriously ill patients who need supplemental oxygen.
"No one wants to be in a position of making treatment decisions based on drug availability," he said.
Houston Methodist Hospital is holding off on broader use of remdesivir, and instead is stockpiling it in case the pandemic flares up in winter - typically the peak season for respiratory illness.
"At this point, we are buying far more than we are using because we are unsure about what will happen at the end of September," said Katherine Perez, infectious disease pharmacist at Houston Methodist.
There is no evidence that COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital for a day or two due to an underlying health issue, like diabetes or high blood pressure, would benefit from the drug, she added.
Mark Sullivan, associate chief pharmacy officer at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Hospitals & Clinics, said his institution also did not expand remdesivir use based on the newer JAMA data.
"We have kept our treatment protocol the same," he said.

You've decided to plan a workshop, but how do you begin? The purpose of any workshop is to inform a small group of attendees on a topic and teach them a specialized skill, so you'll need to consider your messaging carefully. You may only have one or two hours with your participants — as a result, organizing and preparing your course upfront is essential to running a smooth workshop.
Planning any workshop is no easy task, and a successful workshop requires creativity and focus. You want your workshop to not only be a productive experience, but also a memorable one. Follow these steps on how to plan a workshop to make sure your event is educational and beneficial for your attendees.
The first consideration you should tackle when planning a workshop is to understand your goals. This means fleshing out your core concept — why are you having the workshop? You also need to list your learning objectives. What should workshop participants leave knowing that they didn't before?
Before you can begin designing curriculum and content, you need to define what exactly it is you'll be teaching your attendees. It will be helpful to put together a document to act as a kind of syllabus. In this document, state your workshop goals and each of the lessons you'd like to work through, and include a list of any materials you'll be using. This way, you can stay on task throughout the workshop.
As you begin crafting your learning outcomes, you'll need to start working on a detailed schedule. The final schedule will be largely determined by how much time you have available and how much you'd like to cover. To a lesser extent, workshop size will play a part in scheduling as well, so keep that in mind as you organize.
Start with a 10-minute introduction, and then lay out the agenda for the workshop. If your workshop is going to be longer than a couple of hours, be sure to schedule at least one significant break. Generally, it's a good idea to have short breaks between activities as well. One of the most important parts of scheduling is building in a buffer time — you never know when questions might make part of the day run a little long. Build flexibility into the plan.
By now, you should have some idea of the size of your workshop. If not, we suggest not going beyond 20 people or so. This is because when you have a larger group, you wind up spreading yourself too thin, and it's easy for the workshop to turn into something more like a lecture. This brings us to venue selection, an important but often-neglected part of how to plan a workshop.
The right venue sets the whole tone for your workshop and can make the difference between a bland event and an exciting one. You may think this is the most difficult part of the planning process and that dealing with venue logistics will be a headache, but we've designed a platform to make it a breeze.
Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for event spaces, and we're positive you'll be able to find the perfect venue. Just search for meeting spaces in your city and choose from one of our great options. If you have any A/V, furniture, or catering needs, our Concierge service makes organizing all of those logistics a piece of cake, letting you focus on other important factors of your workshop.
Take a minute and peruse the spaces in your city. Imagine holding your workplace in an inspiring loft or creative space as opposed to a hotel conference room. You'll find that the right environment fosters an energized, engaged environment. First impressions matter.
Constructing the actual content workflow of your workshop is straightforward with some preparation. Make a list of your main discussion points, and break each one down into smaller talking points that are essential to communicate. If you'll be using visual aids — whether physical or PowerPoint slides — list these for each of your main points. Then, list your discussion ideas and the activities in which you want to lead.
Show the participants how to do something.
Have the participants complete this task on their own.
Have a discussion about the task. What worked for people? What was difficult? Talk about the work that each person did and give constructive feedback, while also inviting their opinions.
Follow this process again from step one for the next task.
The overall length of this cycle can be whatever you need it to be depending on the total amount of time you have and the number of activities you'd like to accomplish.
Though you're running the workshop, you should refrain from being the event's center of attention. While your attendees will no doubt be learning from you, they can also learn from each other. As you instruct, you're also acting as a kind of social facilitator for people who may not know everyone in the room. But as the workshop progresses, they'll build relationships with one another — these relationships are often carried on long after the workshop is complete.
By stepping aside when necessary, you're allowing your attendees to network with their peers. You should also seek to strike a balance between treating your topics seriously and not seeming too uptight. Don't be afraid to laugh or be casual. This makes both you and the material more approachable.
The last thing you need to do when considering how to plan a workshop is establish a plan to get feedback at the end of the day. You might not consider student feedback initially, but this is useful data for you to have. Student feedback generally takes the form of a questionnaire that you give to all your participants. Design this in such a way as to get specific feedback on the things you're most interested in, but also have plenty of opportunities for open-ended comments.
Receiving criticism can be intimidating, but it's an important part of learning how to be better at our tasks. The information you get back from your students will be invaluable when you're planning your next event. Teaching memorable workshops is good for your students — they learn a new skill, make new connections, and certainly don't feel as though they've wasted the day. Plus, building your reputation as a good workshop instructor enhances your business reputation and shows other that you're a leader in your field.


VersatileDogs.com • View topic - Duck search - making duck flightless?
Hi, I wonder if any of you might be able to help with methods for making the duck(s) flightless?
In the HZP regulations it says to use the "method of Prof Muller (paper strip around individual primaries of one wing)". Then there is the method of removal of the 3 primaries by pulling them out.
What is the Prof Muller method and use of a paper strip? Expand please?? Is either method "better", or, is another method better?
Re: Duck search - making duck flightless?
I like using a duck sock sold by lion country. Or you can just get birds that don't fly. I've heard that a baby sock over the ducks head will keep them pretty much in one place.
Pull 5 flight feathers from one (1) wing and you will have accomplished your goal.
CohanseyDD wrote: Pull 5 flight feathers from one (1) wing and you will have accomplished your goal.
Sounds like your starting duck search. Have you consulted your breeder? Duck search is not just about pulling a few feathers. Its a step by step process. My Breeder, Dan Ritter was a great help with the entire process. Might talk with your breeder and even attend one of his training weekends, assuming he does that sort of thing. As far as how I make ducks flightless. I pull the primary feathers ( the first 5-7 wing tip feathers) on the most distal part of ONE wing. Why one wing? Can't fly because you disrupt their balance. Pulling also leaves a hint of blood. Remember this one important idea, duck search is more about a dog, confidently looking for the duck, following a ducks movements in the swamp by scent, not necessarily finding the duck..
Thank you all for the replies. The duck sock looks good for some uses. The removal of the flight feathers, others.
Duckdon, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) I am the breeder and we do not have a culture of these tests in our country - yet. South Africa. So there is no one here to ask.
We are currently forming a versatile testing association, and are very much in our infancy. In writing our regulations, we need to not only factor in the requirements of the test, it's specific nature and purpose, but also ensure that we do not fall foul of any animal anti-cruelty or nature conservation regulations.

Thanks for the clarification... I've held back until now before offering any comments.
First, I'd follow the JGHV POs to the "T" for now and not reinvent the system, because eventually to acquire and sustain a gene pool you will probably have to align with that parent testing organization. Also, because of the greenies in the EC it will be more than sufficiently "humane". Remember, the correct method is that which satisfies the local jurisdictions and game laws.
Second, I'd get your group together to investigate inviting a JGHV judge to explain things and walk you through the system, testing, and review some potential testing venues. I'd get one from a location/country that hunted the same type(s) of game. We Americans have a tendency to try to reinvent the wheel... my thoughts is the 100+ year old system got us here... maybe we should try to completely understand it before trying to "improve" things. You simply cannot go wrong following JGHV rules and requirements!!!
Lastly, I'd go with the pulled primary feather method because I think it offers the most realistic search and is more reliable than the taped wings. And, after introduction remember that just like hunting, the bird should be shot as soon as a pup has made sight of the bird and a sight chase has developed. You want to develop the track!!!
I am only referring to my training methods , and some will frown on it , and others may welcome it.
Every , and I will repeat every training session I put my dogs in front of I want them to succeed.
That being said , No sense in laying a 20 meter blood track when a pup can only do 4 meters efficiently.
In the water live duck search or blind retrieve , or visual retrieve , I tap the ducks wings so the duck bobs.
From that point on , I will progress with the dogs training to one wing taped, to eventually flight feathers pulled for graduation class.
If a dog IMO is put onto a duck that has a high percentage of escape , the reward for the dog (young dog) is a low percentage that defeats the learning value.

Ten Crimean providers are completely blocking 12 Ukrainian information websites and 2 social networks. In addition, 28 websites are blocked in part. This is an outcome of the Crimean Human Rights Group monitoring (CHRG) held in February – March 2019.
The accessibility of websites was checked by monitors with networks of ten various providers in nine Crimean settlements: Belnet (Belogorsk), SevStar (Sevastopol), КСТ (Simferopol), Mechta (Simferopol), Bosportelecom (Kerch), YaltaNet (Yalta), SkyLine (Krasnoperekopsky District), Sivash Net (Krasnoperekopsk), Orange-net (Bakhchisarai), Volna Mobile (Dzhankoy).
The monitoring showed that 12 websites of the list were blocked by all 10 providers: CHERNOMORSKAYA TELERADIOKOMPANIYA, CENSOR.NET, SLED.NET, Pyaty Kanal, 15 MINUT, FOCUS, DEPO, UKRAYISKA PRAVDA, RBK, UKRINFORM, GLAVKOM, UAINFO. In addition, all 10 providers block an access to LINKED IN and TELEGRAMM social networks.
GLAVNOYR and HROMADS'KE RADIO websites are blocked by 9 of 10 providers.
Comparing to the previous CHRG monitoring, the situation had become worse for UAINFO website. In December 2018 this website was blocked by 5 providers of 8. In March of 2019 it was blocked by all 10 checked providers. The list of partially blocked websites was completed with 112 KANAL website – one of 10 checked providers blocks it. Three providers have started blocking more websites than last November. However, the number of blocked websites reduced with three other providers.
Generally, as at 1 April 2019, MECHTA, a Simferopol provider, blocks 31 websites of the total monitoring list, Skyline, a Krasnoperekopsk one, – 25 websites, and SIVASH.NET (also Krasnoperekopsk) – 17 websites. BOSPORTELECOM (Kerch) and SEVSTAR (Sevastopol) block 16 websites each. BELNET (Belogorsk) blocks 15 websites of the list, KCT (Simferopol) – 13, and YALTANET (Yalta) – 12. Two more providers which blocking had not been checked before were added to the monitoring list. These are ORANGE- NET (Bakhchisarai) that blocks 16 websites, and VOLNA MOBILE (Dzhankoy) that block 23 websites.
That said, just few files are blocked referring to ROSKOMNADZOR requirement. In most cases the websites can't be connected or ERROR 403 sign appears on the screen.
The providers block even those websites that are not included into the register of websites forbidden in Russia. Even the RF laws provide no grounds for restricting access to such resources.
The monitoring findings have proved a trend for limiting further freedom of speech and access to the information on the peninsula. This said, the media space controlled by the Kremlin is inciting hatred to Ukrainians, Muslims, Crimean Tatars and other groups. A wide-scale blocking of access to the Ukrainian information resources in Crimea deprives the Crimeans from a free access to other points of view, and makes them more subjected to the RF aggressive propaganda, including a military one. Blocking the Ukrainian mass media in Crimea combined with inciting hatred to Ukrainians, makes impact on conscience of draft age young men more effective. Herewith, militarization of conscience, incitement of hatred and blocking of alternative information sources are used by the RF to conduct a military crime – drafting Crimean residents into the occupying power army as well as advocating a voluntary joining of the occupying power army.
An unjustified restriction on information access is a severe violation of the fundamental human rights. The Crimeans are, in fact, deprived from the possibility to get information about Ukraine and human rights issues in Crimea since the Kremlin controlled mass media conceal most such facts from the peninsula residents. Actions of the Russian authorities in Crimea results into eliminating the diversity of opinions and substituting in fact independent mass media with state Russian propaganda sources.

Цариградската конференция на Вътрешната македонска революционна организация (обединена) от 1929 година е съвещание на групата националреволюционери в организацията.

След сблъсъка с комунистическото крило в организацията на Берлинската конференция и налагането от страна на комунистите на Димитър Влахов като член на Централния комитет и Задграничното представителство, националреволюционерите в организацията се събират през есента на 1929 година в турската столица Цариград на нова конференция.

Конференцията заседава в продължение на пет дни в дома на Михаил Герджиков. Присъстват Павел Шатев, Герджиков, Занков, Филип Атанасов, Христо Цветков, Славе Иванов, Петър Карчев, Христо Ампов и Йосиф Кондов. Опит да проникне на конференцията прави и Лазар Поповски, който обаче не е допуснат като сръбски агент. Очакваният комунистически представител Черски не пристига. Делегатите от Егейска Македония Захо Захов, живеещ в Солун като югославски поданик и Георги Арабаджиев, служител в солунски хотел не пристигат. Не пристигат и делегатите от Вардарска Македония д-р Тома Фиданчев и Йосиф Анастасов, които обаче упълномощават да ги представляват съответно Герджиков и Ампов.

Първият доклад е изнесен от Ампов като секретар на Областния комитет и засяга изключително организационни въпроси на Трета революционна област (Пиринска Македония и емиграцията). Вторият доклад е изнесен от Карчев, който се спира на идейните основи на ВМРО (обединена). Третият и най-обширен доклад е на Герджиков. В него той прави исторически преглед на македоно-одринското националноосвободително движение, на перипетиите и катастрофите му, които донасят на България и Македония Балканската и Първата световна война, разглежда поуките от тях и новите пътища за борба след войните. В докладите и на Карчев и на Герджиков се казва, че единственият път е балкански единен революционен фронт на всички национал- и социалреволюционни движения с подкрепата на СССР.

В резолюцията на конференцията се отхвърля правото на Берлинската да бъде наричана Първа обща редовна конференция на ВМРО (обединена), тъй като няма достатъчен брой делегати от Македония и от емиграцията. Критикува се Българската комунистическа партия за опитите ѝ да овладее ВМРО (обединена), дирижирането на Берлинската конференция и намесата чрез налагането на Влахов. Конференцията настоява за спиране на "Македонско дело", който се е превърнал в орган на комунистическата фракция и за провеждане на конгрес в шестмесечен срок. Решено е екземпляри от протоколите да се пратят в СССР от Шатев, на "Влаховци" и Черски във Виена или Берлин от Герджиков.

Като продължение на тази конференция на следната година отново в Цариград се провежда нова конференция на ВМРО (обединена).

Q: How to use jest to spy on Schema.virtual of mongoose? I have defined a mongoose Schema, how to spy on Schema and make sure the virtual method is called in my unit test.
const UserSchema = new Schema(
  {
    username: SchemaTypes.String,
    password: SchemaTypes.String,
    email: SchemaTypes.String,
    firstName: { type: SchemaTypes.String, required: false },
    lastName: { type: SchemaTypes.String, required: false },
    roles: [
      { type: SchemaTypes.String, enum: ['ADMIN', 'USER'], required: false },
    ],
    //   createdAt: { type: SchemaTypes.Date, required: false },
    //   updatedAt: { type: SchemaTypes.Date, required: false },
  },
  {
    timestamps: true,
    toJSON: {
      virtuals: true
    }
  },
);

UserSchema.virtual('name').get(function () {
  return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
});

UserSchema.virtual('posts', {
  ref: 'Post',
  localField: '_id',
  foreignField: 'createdBy',
});

A: I found a simple solution to resolve this problem, but I have to refactor my codes.
Extract the virtual method into a standalone function.
function nameGetHook() {
  return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
}

UserSchema.virtual('name').get(nameGetHook);

And set a mock context to run the function in jest.
const getMock = jest.fn().mockImplementationOnce(cb => cb)
const virtualMock = jest.fn().mockImplementationOnce(
    (name: string) => ({
        get: getMock
    })
);

describe('UserSchema', () => {

    it('should called Schame.virtual ', () => {
        expect(UserSchema).toBeDefined()

        expect(getMock).toBeCalled()
        expect(getMock).toBeCalledWith(anyFunction())
        expect(virtualMock).toBeCalled()
        expect(virtualMock).toHaveBeenNthCalledWith(1, "name")
        expect(virtualMock).toHaveBeenNthCalledWith(2, "posts", { "foreignField": "createdBy", "localField": "_id", "ref": "Post" })
        expect(virtualMock).toBeCalledTimes(2)
    });

});
...

Religion and discrimination of Atheism

I had a very hard weekend which has made me look at my mortality.
I was baptised and brought up strictly Christian, even to the point of attending Sunday school every Sunday till I was 9.
However I rebelled against being "forced" into something that I consider has been responsible for most wars and strife in our world. Something that I, personally, just couldn't "sign up to", something I just don't believe in, no matter how strong my families belief.
I know it is a point of contention and something people are passionate about (so much so that I can't ever remember a topic on this before).
But then I read this BBC article about US Atheists and how they are considered a "minority", 2% I believe. They are considered "Less trust worthy than a Rapist" and kids are even spat on at school for being openly atheist.
Here in the UK I am sure it's a much bigger %.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-28616115
So, back to my original thought. After a tough weekend making me look at my mortality (even more so than when I was diagnosed with Cancer), I still haven't "reverted" back to religion. All of my body (and possibly indoctrination from when I was young) says I should but my logic mind won't let me.
I was wondering if I am in a minority of 1 or whether many people of my generation feel the same?

I guess it depends on which generation you are as to whether you are in a minority or not.
But I don't think you can say that Christianity is responsible for most wars etc. maybe it would be more accurate to say that many wars are started by people in the name of a religion rather than the religion itself being blamed. As far as I know no religion condones war or aggressive behaviour.
When it comes to logic, remember religion is driven by faith not proof. Those who follow a religion do not need proof, they accept it's teachings and lifestyle.
For myself, I am not a devout Christian but I probably lead me life along the lines taught by Christians, ie do unto others etc.. I neither believe or disbelieve since there are forces in life that we still don't understand and probably never will
I agree with your comment on "started in the name of religion" Brian.

Not exactly accurate - but this depends on whether you interpret promoted actions as excessive or violent. But being on the receiving end of what certain faiths preach in their scripture you'd be hard pressed to support the above comment.
I also read that article about Atheism in the USA - the shocking fact is that there is no form of legal protection available to Atheists in - no provisions exist. Which is tragic.
Another issue they'll have to combat is the indoctrination of the populace - you saw the comment - You say Atheism, and out pop retorts accusing one of Marxism, Bolshevism, being a Soviet Spy (in 2014, really?) or just being plain ol' Russian, and therefore evil.

All religions are simply a manifestation of the Big Thumb pressing on the back of your neck. They exist purely for the self aggrandisement of those who have elected themselves to the position of Great Panjandrum or whatever their particular mob might call it. ( A bit like politics, perhaps?) Their entire ethos can be expressed in a few words..."Do what you're told and don't ask questions". "Followers" are told to "believe" in whatever pronouncements the upper echelon see fit to expound. They all have a Book of MumboJumbo which they tell you is the Real Word of God.
Oh yes....and every one of them is the one true religion and only they know the truth!!

Odd isn't it? If religions are meant to be full of benevolent souls that only wish good for their fellow man, why do some persecute those that choose not to believe? Or those that believe, but in something different?
Shouldn't a truly religious soul feel compassion for those that choose not to believe?
I have met Christians who aren't and I have met people who don't call themselves Christian but exhibit many more of the espoused traits of (insert whichever word you wish here to describe the religious person)
I was rebaptised as an adult. Do I practice in the establishment? No.
Do I like to think that I behave in a way that I would like to see others behave? I hope so.
But I am certainly not perfect.

I have served in a number of war zones, so ill comment from the perspective of religious thoughts by people in a war, rather than religion starting wars. It's a perspective.
I have observed that people with faith in religion have had a couple of advantages. One is that when the whole FUBAR of war doesn't make sense by our leaders, Gov etc, it can be rationalised that it is (their) God's will - fate, as such. This allows people to function, to do their important role in combat. Without this, we are lost.
Secondly, the ability to rationalise the horrors of conflict in you own head has been shown to directly reduce PDST. Having seen so much of this affect so many, maybe those with faith are better protected, maybe their faith is actually working? I would presume emergency services people would have similar.
I have however met some people who war has destroyed their faith, but less numbers.
Just thoughts.

Ooooh, boy! How to discuss this topic without stepping on too many toes. Tres difficile, non?
I was raised as a Catholic, and received all the appropriate indoctrinations via several years of parochial schooling, and childhood sacraments at the requisite ages. One parent was "devout," the other considerably more of a freethinker, though quiet about it. Attending university later on was an eye opening experience in so many ways. I had three Jewish roommates my first year.
At any rate, exposure to diverse "world views" from a cornucopia of personalities caused me to question (or, should I say, question even more) the belief system I had been inculcated with. Additionally, the study of various scientific disciplines as part of obtaining a degree strongly brought home the fact that devine intervention in the workings of the universe were a rather superfluous explanation to understanding the mechanics of the cosmos. Though a complete understanding is many years away, the path to it is clearly defined. It is called "science," and it is a self-correcting system, unlike dogmatic religious tenets. And being dogmatic, religions of multiple persuasions all claim to be "the one true way," beholden to "the one true god." This, of course, is the ultimate "conversation stopper," all rational discussion being rendered nonviable. They cannot all be right.
And then there is the problem of "the afterlife." Immediately the question must be raised (though it seldom is), if "life everlasting" is such a good thing, why waste even one more moment in this "veil of tears" we currently reside in? Why even take the chance that one might "fall from grace" and risk losing the chance for a prime spot in "heaven?" Logic would dictate that passage to that glorious nirvana, through death, ought not be delayed for even a moment. Yet we do not see mass suicides amongst the believers. Can it be that the evolutionarily derived desire to stay alive trumps religious belief?
There are almost endless contradictions to be found in any religion. Many eloquent tomes are readily available that discuss them in much greater detail, written by authors who have spent a great deal of time pondering the subject. A few may occasionally contain vitriolic passages, but, for the most part, the "chapters and verse" presented are quiet appeals to a reasonable and balanced view of the world, and our place in it.
Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.

Put simply, the fear of God keeps the world population in check.
If we didn't have a God then there would be no wars, the defence industry would fold and the worlds population would increase at a more alarming rate. On the plus side, countries would have a few extra trillion$ to feed back into their economies, and everyone would be happy in the world.
Gods are merely fictitious characters from the dark ages that were created to keep the peasants in check. But I'm okay with this because according to the latest global Census I have joined one of the fastest growing religions in the world today. May the Force be with you.

Any comments from the other side of the argument?
Well, at least one reply alluded to a facet of religion that does have some value...the ability of "belief" to make one's capacity to function "under fire" a bit easier. Unfortunately that same effect is equally influential on the strongly motivated suicide bomber, now so prevalent in various global arenas.
I have a good friend who, late in life, became (to use today's parlance) "born again." He has raised his whole family in like manner, and seems to be the happier for it. But he has had to abandon all acknowledgement of the findings of hard science. For example, he truly believes that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and all the defective reasoning required to buy into the concept. This from a West Point graduate possessing a keen mind in other regards.
The question thus becomes: Is strong religious belief (or at least belief strong enough to raise one's happiness level) a sufficient trade off for entering into a state of denial concerning the findings of empirical science?
Strong religious belief IMHO makes you more "Conservative" in your thinking. Less able to change your view if it is other than what you are told.
I know religious people who, likewise, think that the earth is 6000 years old and that dinosaur bones were put there by god to test us. Their teenage daughter also told my son (who is the same age) that children were a gift from god and nothing to do with human interaction....................and pregnant in 3.........2........1........
Some things I am just "meh" about but some things really get to me as an Ex-religious child.
1. 3rd world contraception. The simple answer to over population on land not suitable for farming, HIV and other diseases etc. Yet the Pope time and time again refuses to even consider it.
2. The massive wealth of the churches in the world. If they practiced what they preached surely they would give it all away?
3. Sexism in the Church. We are all equal, except women who can't be ordained.
4. How much history has been re-written? Was Mary Magdalen Christs wife as it's now thought but was written out to keep him "pure". What really happened to the Templars, were they destroyed just to take their money? etc etc.
5. Religious persecution of anyone who doesn't agree with their view (both in history and even now).
I could go on but I have to go out for a while.
Church's have a bit of a rep nowadays for old men having access to young boys too. I'm sure I posted up recently that the pope thinks 2% of all vicars or whatever they're called are up to no good. That's 1 in 50, that's a huge amount and no coincidence.
IMHO that's enough reason to close down religion, full stop. Imagine if another organisation said that; the cops, the council? A private company? There would be pitchforks and hangings!

Religion doesn't cause wars, individuals use of religion for their own means does.
I was brought up a Christian, I never attended Church until we happened to go one Christmas for the Nativity (I'd be about 33). We enjoyed it and became regular Church goers and very active in Church life. I was even elected a member of the local Parochial Church Council. As the kids got older and the old Vicar (who was a top bloke) retired we stopped going and haven't been for around three years.
I really enjoyed the Church and friends we made there but I have to consider myself a non believer.
I've seen a great deal of suffering, I've seen good people suffer horrible lives and this along with me being essentially a scientist means I cannot believe in some being out there who controls everything (unless it's Bernie Eccelstone).

Yup, count me in as a non-believer; I went to Sunday School (looking back, good way for parents to get me out of their way) and got good marks in Religious Education but it has just never occurred to me to believe in a God (although Jesus seems to have been a thoroughly decent sort of chap).
We would all get on just as well without religion, whilst adhering to a broadly Christian moral code (ie be nice, don`t kill people, always look on the bright side of life etc - oh, was that last one it ?! I forget...).
My only small gripe is that Professor Dawkins-a committed Atheist and rightly so - has also railed against fairy tales and horoscopes-as though there is a church of Rumpelstiltskin or of Mystic Meg. Its over-egging the pudding. He would have helped the argument by sticking to reviling organised Religion as we know it.
....and the stick Atheists get in America is just vile. Logically you`d think they would be pitied not hated , (losing the chance of going to heaven etc) - but the hostility to them tells you all you need to know about human nature notwithstanding homilies about "loving thy neighbour").
One of the things that always amazes me about the Catholics is that they seem to be selective about their belief. They regard the Pope as God's Representative on Earth...and his word as the authentic Word of God. He says contraception is wrong (apart from the Rhythm Method, it seems...women who use this have a special designation in the medical profession...they call them mothers...) so no Catholics are allowed to use physical forms of birth control.
Italy, a Catholic country, has a falling birth rate with the death rate exceeding the rate of live births. Something has to be wrong there.....! Truly, a Prophet has no honour in his own country.....
I suppose that's why they have confession.....
Good old religion, they're crucifying each other now in Syria...

Going back to Kimbers' original post, when I was in the States I definitely felt that the church had more influence. Even in California, my wife got an odd look from a neighbour who asked which church we attended and was told "none." In North Carolina, it was definitely a big thing with NASCAR teams having bible study classes once a week and billboards telling you to repent or burn in hell and so on. In the east and mid-west, I never made a thing about being atheist, not because I thought I would get assaulted or expelled but I thought it might make some people uncomfortable around me.
Having said that, there is a very vocal atheist sector who is busy suing councils for failing to keep church and state separate and to overturn school boards rulings to teach creation or intelligent design as an alternative argument to evolution. Public figures such as the illusionist Penn & Teller and the creators of South Park and those of Family Guy have been vocal about their non-belief without being shunned.
I think the strength of the Christian churches in America comes from two things. Setting across that forbidding territory in the 1800's you would need to feel you had someone on your side, even if it was a mythical being and that faith has become ingrained in many cultures in the States. Secondly, the separation of church and state means the churches have to stand on their own two feet, so to speak, and so they make a big effort to get strong and get support.
Regarding whether religion causes wars or not, I see being a member of a particular religion as being like belonging to a tribe or gang and the wars are really over which gang gets the land or the most power. Mind you, doesn't the Koran call for the killing of non-believers and there are parts of the Old Testament calling for the enemies and non-believers to be killed and the women raped and the children turned into slaves or suchlike.
Religion seems to be something that some people believe in, others pretend to believe in to fit in and something others despise and despair of. I would prefer for there to be none but some people would just come up with something new to replace it. Scientology, anyone? Now, how could you fall for that?

It is interesting how the biggest and most organised attempts to positively stifle religion so far, have notably failed. Stalin`s USSR did the most historically to suppress it ..until he realised that he needed the Orthodox Church`s support to hold up public morale duting the nazi invasion, to the extent that the church described him as "appointed by God" to lead the country!
The origin of the antipathy between Stalinist Communism-the conception that has largely informed world politics from 1917-1989 years and religion stemmed from Marx`s famous comment about it being the "opium of the people" . But Marx prefaced that comment with "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, the soul of soulless conditions...." explanatory rather than hostile. It would be interesting to apply those words to the modern USA where attainable dreams maybe fail to compensate for the lack of social security or cohesion and religion steps in . Food for thought....

OK, I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to chime in on this topic, despite already knowing there are rarely any winners in the end of a religious debate.
First, let's talk about the USA. Having lived in the USA my whole life, and in many different states within, I would like to think I have a fairly realistic view to present on the USA front. The sad truth is, some portions of the USA are just as bad and as ignorant as that report makes it sound. Known as the "deep bible-belt", there are some areas within it where they still believe God is better than hospitals and if you die it was his will. Feeding the poor is interfering with God's plan for them to go hungry, etc. To not believe and announcing it is to risk your health.
But each of the 50 states is like a different country. You really can not judge them all on the actions of small areas of a few. In some states you don't pay any income tax, in others you don't pay sales tax, its just an inconsistent mess. The diversity and conservatism of religion is just as varied. Further more, the cultural difference between the rural areas and the big cities within each state is just as huge and usually hundreds of miles apart from each other. So this article fails to mention that "it depends on where you are".
I believe the separation of church and state is absolutely critical. However, seeing as how our currency says "in God we trust" and always has, I'm not sure it has ever been implemented and enforced properly. This is largely from the political trend our government officials have to go "all in" on a knee-jerk reaction. Making a decision that is so one sided it misses the point. The example I will give is public schools. In the bible-belt you can bet every class and sporting event starts with a prayer. At a Federal level they have decided to ban prayer in public schools. The bible-belt just does it anyway. So is the law enforced? Nope. not really. because in the bible-belt the parents, teachers and law enforcement are all in agreement with it. Is the law correct? Nope. It should simply say that the federally funded public school can't tell you "to whom you should pray too." If the culture is to start events with a moment of silence, fine, but you should be able to use it spiritually if you like, in a Christian way if you like, or just to provide respect to the event at hand.
Our current debate over creationism vs. evolutionism is almost beyond me. Should the textbooks tell the kids they came from God or big bang primordial ooze.? We weren't there. We don't know. Take it out of the textbooks completely and instead teach something that will actually get the kids a job someday so they can feed themselves. This is becoming a major political item and I CAN NOT believe it is so high on everyone's priority list. I'm not saying believe or don't believe, I'm saying there are more immediate and pressing matters that affect the operations of the country.

I took a pile of collages over to artist and photographer, Richard Nicol's house the other day to be photographed. I am excited to get high-resolution, high-quality images of the work I've been posting snapshots of here.
What a great conversation, culminating in Richard showing me some of his gunpowder drawings - drawings made by lighting black powder and modern gunpowder on heavy, textured paper. The marks left, in a palette of grays, siennas, browns and blacks, have a grit and a subtlety that has to be seen.
Have you seen Cai Guo-Qiang's work? There's a big show at the guggenheim in NYC up now. He's been doing the gunpowder thing for a while now with incredible results.


Ulcerating cancer wounds develop when cancer that is growing under the skin breaks through the skin. Doctors sometimes call them fungating cancer wounds. They are rare. Most people who have cancer will never have one.
These treatments may reduce the size of the wound and improve the symptoms. It is unlikely that the wound will completely heal. Your nurse or a specialist nurse in wound care will help you manage the wound. They may use special dressings or apply creams or gels to control the symptoms.
The symptoms can be distressing to cope with, but there are different ways to manage them. It is important to remember that you will be more aware of the wound than other people. It may help to talk about your feelings to your family, friends, doctor or nurse.
What are ulcerating cancer wounds?
An ulcerating cancer wound is when a cancer that is growing under the skin breaks through the skin and creates a wound. Doctors sometimes call them fungating cancer wounds. It can be a distressing problem to cope with. But there are different treatments and ways to manage the symptoms.
When the cancer grows, it blocks and damages tiny blood vessels. This can reduce the supply of oxygen to the area. This causes the skin and the tissue underneath to die, and the wound may become infected and ulcerated.
Ulcerating wounds are rare. Most people with cancer will never develop one. It is more likely to happen in breast cancer, head and neck cancer and melanoma. This is because these cancers develop close to or on the skin.
An ulcerating wound can develop in the area where the cancer started (primary site) or a part of the body the cancer has spread to (secondary site).
An ulcerating wound is caused by cancer. Treatments that shrink the cancer may also reduce the wound and improve the symptoms.
Commonly used treatments include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and surgery, or a combination of these. Your doctor will talk with you about which treatment is best for your situation.
Radiotherapy treats cancer by using high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells, while doing as little harm as possible to normal cells. It can help shrink the tumour and may reduce the amount of leakage, discharge or bleeding from the wound. Straight after the radiotherapy, you may find your symptoms become worse. Your skin in the surrounding area may also become dry and red. These side effects are usually temporary, and should begin to improve after a couple of weeks.
Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. It is used to help shrink the tumour and reduce any symptoms.
This is a combination of chemotherapy and a small electrical current. It can help to control the growth of the cancer and may reduce bleeding, pain and discharge from an ulcerating wound.
A low dose of chemotherapy is injected into the tumour or into a vein (intravenously). An electrical pulse is then given directly to the cancer cells using an electrode. The electrical pulse helps the chemotherapy get into the cancer cells. Once inside the cancer cells, the chemotherapy destroys them. The treatment can be repeated if needed.
Electrochemotherapy is not widely available. Your doctor or specialist nurse will be able to give you more information about this treatment if it is suitable for you.
Some cancers, such as breast cancer, can be encouraged to grow by certain hormones.
Hormonal therapies reduce the level of hormones in the body or block their action. This can help slow the growth of the cancer and help improve symptoms.
Depending on the size and position of the tumour, it may be possible to remove part or all of it with an operation. Because ulcerating wounds often cause damage to blood vessels, there can be a risk of bleeding and an operation is not always possible. Your doctor can discuss with you whether surgery is possible in your situation.
Although cancer treatments may help reduce the size of the wound and help improve symptoms, it is unlikely to heal completely.
specialist nurses in wound care (often called tissue viability nurses).
They will advise you how to care for the wound and explain how the symptoms can be controlled. The nursing team will help you to manage the wound so that you can get on with your day-to-day life. It is best not to use your own dressings or creams on the wound without checking them with the nurses.
The nurses will be able to answer any questions you have about the wound. They can also help you cope with the symptoms.
You may be referred to a specialist palliative care team for advice. The team is made up of people who are experts in managing symptoms. There are palliative care teams based in hospitals and the community.
Leakage or discharge is probably the most common symptom of an ulcerating wound. It often happens because of infection.
Your nurse will usually suggest an absorbent dressing with additional padding to help with this problem. Some wound dressings can be left in place for several days, depending on the amount of leakage and where the wound is. Sometimes only the top layer of the dressing needs to be changed.
Your nurse will explain the type of dressing you need and how often it should be changed. Your district nurse or practice nurse may change the dressing for you.
You may find it useful to have extra supplies of dressings, especially for holidays. You may also find it useful to use pads to help protect your bed at night.
The discharge or leakage from the wound may make the healthy skin around it sore and red. A barrier cream can be used to help protect the skin. The nurses may give you a cream to use. Or they may advise you which is the best cream to buy.
Your nurse may suggest showering with warm water to help you clean the wound. This can also reduce the smell. It can help you to feel better as well. Showering is not suitable for everyone. It is important to ask the nurses if you can shower your wound. They can give you advice about shower gels and soaps.
An unpleasant smell is a common symptom. It can be distressing and difficult to cope with. But there are ways that it can be improved and managed. Sometimes the smell is caused by an infection in the wound.
Your nurses can use different dressings to help control the smell. Some dressings contain silver, which reduces the number of bacteria in the wound. These dressings can often be left in place for several days. Dressings containing a medical form of honey can also help to prevent bacteria growing in the wound.
Your nurse may suggest charcoal dressings to help filter any smell. For these to work well, it is important that there is a good seal around the edge of the dressing.
If there is an infection in the wound, antibiotics can help control it and reduce the smell. Applying antibiotic gels directly onto the wound can also help.
These should not be put onto the wound or dressings.
Pain can be caused by the tumour damaging nerves. It may also be caused by dressings sticking to your skin. There are different things that can help, depending on the cause.
Different painkillers can be used. Taking them regularly is more helpful, as this helps keep the pain away. Your doctor or nurse can give you advice about the best painkiller to use. Tell them if the pain is not controlled. They can adjust the dose or try a different painkiller.
If the pain is worse when dressings are changed, tell your nurse. They may be able to use a different dressing that is more suitable for you. They may suggest you take a short-acting painkiller just before the dressing is changed.
using gas and air (entonox), which is a painkiller you breathe in.
The wound may bleed if the tumour damages the small blood vessels. You may feel alarmed by the sight of blood, but this is a common symptom. It is important to tell your doctor or nurse if you notice any bleeding, or a change in the amount of bleeding. They may suggest using dressings or drugs to reduce or stop the bleeding.
Non-stick dressings or dressings that have a non-stick inner, with removable outer dressing, can help reduce bleeding.
applying pastes to the wound, such as sucralfate.
using fibrous dressings such as Aquacel®.
using non-fibrous dressings, such as Biatain® Alginate dressing.
If the wound is bleeding heavily, your nurse may suggest dressings that help stop bleeding. These are called haemostatic dressings. They may also suggest applying a drug such as adrenaline or tranexamic acid to the area for short periods.
If the itching continues, your doctor or nurse may suggest using a TENS machine (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation machine). TENS machines stimulate nerves that carry non-painful messages to the brain. This overrides and stops the pain messages. They can also make the body release its own painkillers (endorphins).
If you are allergic to any dressings or adhesives, it is important to tell your nurse or doctor, as this may be a cause of itching.
Using clothing bandages, for example Tubifast™, Comfifast™ and Skinnies WEB™. Your nurse can give you more information about these.
Wearing Lycra® clothing, such as crop tops, t-shirt vests or cycling shorts, to help keep a dressing in the right position under clothing.
You may feel anxious, embarrassed or depressed because of the wound. Some people feel isolated and worry about leaving the house. It is important to remember that you will be much more aware of the wound than other people.
How you think and feel about your body (body image) may change. You may also worry about the effects on your close relationships. We have a booklet called Body image and cancer that explains different types of support and has suggestions about what you can do.
Talk to your family and close friends about how you feel. They can listen and give you support. You may also find it helpful to talk to your doctor or nurse for support or more specialised help if you need it.
Support groups, counselling and complementary therapies, such as relaxation and aromatherapy, can also be helpful. Our cancer support specialists (0808 808 00 00) can give you details of support organisations and counselling services in your area.

Die Großsteingräber bei Süssau sind zwei megalithische Grabanlagen der jungsteinzeitlichen Trichterbecherkultur bei Süssau, einem Ortsteil von Heringsdorf im Kreis Ostholstein in Schleswig-Holstein. Sie tragen die Sprockhoff-Nummern 278 und 279.

Lage
Die Gräber befinden sich nordöstlich von Süssau auf einem Feld. Grab 2 liegt 130 m östlich von Grab 1. Beide Anlagen sind durch einen Wasserlauf getrennt. 440 m nordnordöstlich liegt das Großsteingrab Siggen.

Beschreibung

Grab 1
Die Anlage besitzt eine nur noch in Resten erhaltene Hügelschüttung. Die Grabkammer ist ost-westlich orientiert. Sie hat eine Länge von 4 m und eine Breite von 1,5 m. Es sind zwei Wandsteine an der nördlichen und drei an der südlichen Langseite, der westliche Abschlussstein und ein nicht genau bestimmbarer Stein erhalten. Die Wandsteine der Nordseite und die beiden östlichen Steine der Südseite stehen in situ, die anderen sind verschoben. Der östliche Abschluss der Kammer und die Decksteine fehlen. Wo sich der ursprüngliche Zugang zur Kammer befunden hat, ist unklar. Somit ist auch der genaue Grabtyp nicht sicher zu bestimmen. Aufgrund der Größe der Kammer und der Anzahl der Wandsteine muss es sich entweder um einen Großdolmen oder ein Ganggrab gehandelt haben.

Grab 2
Diese Anlage besitzt eine von allen Seiten angepflügte Hügelschüttung. Die Grabkammer liegt im Südostteil des Hügels und ist wohl südost-nordwestlich orientiert. Es sind insgesamt sieben Steine erhalten, darunter direkt nebeneinander ein langer und ein kurzer Wandstein einer Langseite. Die restlichen Steine lassen sich nicht sicher zuordnen. Die genauen Maße und der Typ der Kammer lassen sich nicht sicher bestimmen. Vielleicht handelt es sich um einen Dolmen.

The Atherton Tablelands has a rich history from World War I, through World War II and in more recent times honouring the fallen in Afghanistan.
Take a journey for a window into the past and also the present as we remember what was done for our country in preserving what we consider so important and also contributed to what defines us as a people.
Our journey begins with World War I, when like so many towns in Australia, our men and women answered the call to fight in far off lands. As you drive through most of the towns on the Atherton Tablelands, the cenotaph will be in a prominent position as is befitting of the memory of those "Tablelanders" that did not return home. Take a minute to look at the names, many from the same family who paid the ultimate sacrifice. James Spranklin who won the Military Medal in France, was fortunate to return home. He won a balloted farming block at Kairi, before moving his family to manage the Hotel at Innot Hot Springs.
During World War II the Atherton Tablelands was home to one of the largest staging basis in the Pacific. Beginning in 1942 with the Mareeba Airstrip being sealed and home to both Australian and American Airforce Squadrons, Mareeba airfield became the main operational airfield in Far North Queensland. Such was the perceived threat that the Gillies Range was mined in case of invasion.
Later that year General Blamey ordered a survey of the Atherton Tablelands for combined recuperation and jungle warfare training for Australian troops of the 6th and 7th Divisions AIF, heading for New Guinea. This was known as the Atherton Project. From that point on, there was a steady increase of more troops from both Australia as well as the US. There were both Australian and US serviceman based in Kuranda, Mareeba, Atherton, Herberton, Ravenshoe and Tinaroo.
Driving through the Atherton Tablelands, you will easily see signs depicting the relevant division that was camped at that location. The Barron Valley Hotel in Atherton became the Officers Club and at Rocky Creek the 19th Field Ambulance prepared a camp area in readiness for the 5 Australian Camp Hospital. Rocky Creek today lists every Division that was based on the Atherton Tablelands and is well worth a stop as you explore the Atherton Tablelands.
Afghanistan. It is a timeless memorial and preserves forever the gratitude and respect we have for our fallen.
It is an incredible moving memorial and is a must experience of your Anzac Trail.


Gordon Payne uit Nieuw Zeeland vraagt informatie over zijn oudoom Matthew Trevorrow. En hij wil ook graag weten wie er op de foto's staan.
My great uncle Matthew Trevorrow from Cornwall, England survived World War 2 only to be murdered near Benkolen, Sumatra, Indonesia in 1945. He was with a small British, Recovery of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees (RAPWI) team finding and helping POW and Internees, under the command of Lord Mountbatten. Sadly they were ambushed by Indonesian rebels/villagers, who mistook them for NICA and only one person survived, a Captain J W Smith. After 72 years I solved a mystery as to where his remains are, they are in the CWGC cemetery in Jakarta. Buried next to him is an Irish Captain/Doctor John Mockler, who also died with him in that team but until last year, when I traced other information his grave was marked Unknown.
He spent many years in Internee in Japanese camps but prior to this, was the only English man working as a gold mining engineer for a Dutch company situated north of Benkolen. The main mine was called Tandai, which leads me to the attached photographs. One is of Matthew and other is a group photo, after celebrations of New Year in 1938 with what we presume are other Dutch mine management staff and their families. I do know from an article in the London Illustrated News, June 14 1941, one of his Dutch colleges was a Mr B. P Van der Vaart and a Swiss sculptor Paul Vogt was with them, prospecting in Sumatra.
On the 19 March 1937 he set sail for Batavia (Jakarta) Indonesia from Southampton, England. Travelled on Nederland Line Royal Dutch mail vessel called Johan De Witt (ticket 4686 attached), occupation then Reduction assistant, later Gold Classer.
Benkolen Prison camp from around 02 April 1942 to 29 September 1943.
transferred to what was regarded as secret camp Belalau in Loeboeklinggau 01 March 1945 to 23 August 1945.
released August 1945, somehow made it back to Palembang.
He is mentioned in books by fellow internee, American journalist McDougal including book, "If I Get Out Alive".
son of Pieter Johannes van der Vaart en Ingetje Troost.
He died 05-07-1944 in Tjilatjap, Java in probably a Japanese internmentcamp for civilians.
Bartholomeus married 31-01-1918 in Dordrecht with Maria Johanna Sparnaay, born about 1895, daughter of Leonard Eliza Sparnaay en Anne Adenie. Maria died in 1954.
Maatschappelijk Kapitaal= total amount of shares in currency at the financial statement of assets and liabilities.
There was a medical doctor H.P. Kramer ( chef-geneesheer) employee of miningcompany Billiton at Muntok.
Klopt… Die kamplijsten die er zijn, zijn niet compleet.

http://www.northatlanticbooks.com/public_relations/2002/pr_edward_dorn.html
Extractions: America's poet of dissent and difference, of geography and distance, Edward Dorn (19239-1999) grew up in rural obscurity, Depression-era poverty, and social estrangement as a dispossessed son of the Prairie. After initiating a critical involvement with new poetics in dialogue with his mentor Charles Olson at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, Dorn wandered the trans-mountain West following the variable winds of writing and casual employment until the mid-1960s, when a time of trial and change resulted in the beginnings of the groundbreaking long poem Gunslinger Edward Dorn was a "culture morphologist," a poet whose central achievement lies in his creative response, at once intuitive, emotional, and analytic, to the complex meanings of places and the people who live upon them. His writing enacts a deep respect for and attention to the diverse landforms of his native country. In the work of no other American writer are the soul of the land and the soul of the poet so inextricably linked. In both prose and poetry Dorn's sharp-eyed cultural critique goes hand in hand with a tender-hearted realism. The Dorn voice, unmistakable and evocative as the lonesome sounding of a far-off train whistle in the night, contributes a unique note to the literature of the second half of America's Twentieth Century:

Extractions: Dorn was born in rural Illinois at the start of the Great Depression, in poverty. He was educated in a one room schoolhouse, then High School (where he helped on the local newspaper) and for two years at the University of Illinois. He worked for a while at the Boeing plant in Seattle, returned to Illinois, and through his art teacher Raymond Obermayr was directed towards Black Mountain College in North Carolina where he arrived in the autumn of 1950. In 1951 he left and travelled to the Pacific Northwest, where he did manual work and met his first wife, Helene. In late 1954 they returned to Black Mountain, where he studied under Charles Olson (Dorn's first published work was the pamphlet What I See in the Maximus Poems ) and graduated in 1955 with Robert Creeley as one of his examiners. After two years of further travel the family settled in Washington state. Their life there, on the edge of poverty, is vividly portrayed in Dorn's first prose book

http://www.northatlanticbooks.com/products/1556433972.html
Extractions: A protege of Charles Olson, Dorn, author of the landmark poem Gunslinger, is usually associated with the Black Mountain School. An autodidact with a hunger for knowledge, Dorn struggled to support his family by working odd jobs, ranging from lumberjack to assistant librarian, while he dedicated himself to the writer's craft. Relying heavily on letters from family and friends, as well as on Dorn's published and unpublished work, Clark paints a sympathetic and detailed portrait of his friend and fellow poet. In addition to being a gifted storyteller, Clark is an astute critic, and his analysis of Dorn's poetry helps the reader understand both man and artist. The epilog is a gut-wrenching account of Dorn's two-year battle with cancer, effectively pieced together from fragments of letters, journals, poems, and other sources. Academic and larger public libraries will want to place this volume alongside Clark's earlier biographies of Charles Olson and Jack Kerouac. Reviews Tom Clark's biography of fellow poet Ed Dorn, Edward Dorn: A World of Difference (North Atlantic Books) demonstrates that great American lives continue to be lived, beyond the mess of celebrity in harsh places, restless movement, with e y es wide open. Dorn's acerbic take on oil wars and political piracy has never been more pertinent, less heard (Independent (UK) Books of the Year 2002, January 1, 2003).

Tom Clark's obituary for edward dorn (19291999).
http://jacketmagazine.com/09/clark-dorn-obit.html
Extractions: These lines come from "Wait by the door awhile Death, there are others," a poem written by Dorn in 1965. They foreshadow the engagement and interrogation of Ed's last poems as well. Along with unfinished long poems about two other longtime subjects of his, heresy and geography "Languedoc Variorum" and "Westward Haut" he left in "progress" a verse journal of his final chemotherapeutic nightmare-enlightenments, «Chemo Sabe», in which the poet's confrontation with techno-medicine serves as a kind of warrior's trial and induction to death. At the end of a section of that latter work, titled "Chemo du Jour: The Impeachment on Decadron," he narrates an infusion of Taxol, a drug produced from yew tree toxins, while watching Clinton's impeachment trial, among other dark comedies, on television in a Denver hospital:
