Severus Snape: The Unlikely Hero of Harry Potter book 7
Volokh.com. July 19, 2005. Pусский/Russian. Polski/Polish. Français. Español. More by Kopel on Harry Potter.
Don't read the rest of this article unless you've finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The predictions for book 7 will necessarily involve the revelation of some important plot details from book 6.
One of the many virtues of John Granger's book The Hidden Key to Harry Potter is its emphasis on the importance of characters' names. In a National Review Online review a couple years ago, I noted Granger's interesting and plausible theories of the Christian subtext in the names "Gryffindor" and "Harry Potter." Other character names also have interesting Christian roots. For example. Harry's devoted and protective owl Hedwig shares a name with a medieval Christian saint, who is the patroness of the Sisters of St. Hedwig, a small charitable order whose "chief aim is the education of orphaned and abandoned children." A Potter fan website contains a compendium of many character names and their meanings (up through volume 4), and the site, while full of fascinating information, does not exhaust the meanings that can be drawn from the names.
Granger points out that the sibilance of "Severus Snape" makes the reader think of a snake, and the crafty, mistrustful Snape has many snake-like qualities. Also, Severus is an unusually severe teacher. However, I think there is a more significant meaning of the name, which perhaps holds the key to the dénouement of the forthcoming book 7. "Severus" is a variant of "sever"--to cut. If run the two words of his name together, so that the consonants link up, then we hear "sever-uh-ssnape," very much like "sever a snake."
In the end, I predict, Snape will sacrifice himself in order to destroy the snakelike Voldemort, whose personal symbol (the Dark Mark) is a snake tongue projecting from a death's head skull. (The symbol unintentionally teaches the lesson that false speech is a form of death). At a s7urface level, the events of the just-published book 6 seem entirely contrary to my thesis, but looked at from another angle, they confirm it. Let's begin with chapter 2, "Spinner's End," in which Snape makes the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa Malfoy. The chapter's title ostensibly refers to the street where Snape lives.
But the chapter is also the beginning of the end of Snape's life of deceptions and double games, of trying to play both sides of the street. As he explains to Narcissa and Bellatrix, he once "spun" an elaborate "tale of deepest remorse" in order to gain Dumbledore's protection. (Page 31).When Narcissa asks him for the Unbreakable Vow, Bellatrix sneers that Snape will offer only "The usual empty words, the usual slithering out of action…" (35). But, perhaps for the first time in his life, Snape surrenders himself for another. The consequence of breaking an Unbreakable Vow is death.
Marriage is, in its sanctified state, an unbreakable vow, and the enchantment ceremony is remarkably like a wedding: Snape looks into Narcissa's tearful eyes, kneels before her, and they clasp hands. In the presence of a Bonder, Snape is asked questions which evoke the rhythm of the wedding vows: "Will you, Severus, watch over my son…" To each question, Snape responds, "I will"--reminiscent of the "I do" of the unbreakable vows in a wedding.
With each "I will," a tongue of flame coils around their intertwined hands. (36-37). Snape loves Narcissa, I suggest. His beloved is a narcissist, but at the greatest crisis of her life--when her son is mortal peril, and her husband is unable to protect their son, Narcissa risks everything--even betraying the Dark Lord and incurring his terrible wrath--in a desperate attempt to save her Draco. (32).
Because Narcissa and Snape love, they ultimately, not true servants of the Dark Lord.
Months later, Hagrid tells Harry about a recently overheard argument between Dumbledore and Snape: "I jus' heard Snape sayin' Dumbledore took too much for granted an' maybe he--Snape--didn' wan' ter do it anymore…Dumbledore told him out he'd agreed to do it an' that was all there was to it." (405-06).
In the climactic confrontation between Dumbledore and Draco, on the Astronomy Tower, Dumbledore reveals that he has known all along about Malfoy's plot to murder him. Yet Dumbledore has not acted against Draco, because Dumbledore still hopes to save him by making Draco prove to himself that he is not a killer, and thereby enticing Malfoy to come over the Right side. (585, 591-92).
The one person who knows that the Dark Lord has ordered Malfoy to attempt to kill Dumbledore and is a person who has any contact with Dumbledore is Severus Snape. I believe that Snape revealed the Dark Lord's plot to Dumbledore. And that Snape also revealed to Dumbledore that Snape had made an Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa. The argument between Dumbledore and Snape had occurred when Snape grew weary in his efforts to protect Draco, and Dumbledore insisted that Snape must keep his vow.
Dumbledore's knowledge of the third part of Snape's vow--to kill Dumbledore if Malfoy could not--explains what happened shortly before Dumbledore's death. Dumbledore wanted to die (I'll explain why in a little bit), and he knew that Snape was the man who could--and must--perform the deed.
Consider the ambiguity of Dumbledore's words as Harry and he rush back to Hogwarts: "It is professor Snape whom I need." (580). This time, Dumbledore is not looking for Snape to heal him, as Snape had done the previous summer, when Dumbledore had returned badly injured from a fierce battle.
When Snape arrives at the Astronomy Tower, he first surveys the scene, but takes no action. Dumbledore is defenseless. But Draco is unable to bring himself to kill Dumbledore. The other Death Eaters on the Tower would be happy to kill Dumbledore, but they are afraid to act, because the Dark Lord has ordered that Draco must be the one to dispatch Dumbledore. As Dumbledore knows, only Snape--who has made the Unbreakable Vow to kill Dumbledore if Draco cannot--will defy the Dark Lord's orders, and personally kill Dumbledore.
It is then that Dumbledore begs Snape to fulfill his vow: "Severus," says the headmaster. "For the first time, Dumbledore was pleading." (595). "Severus…please…"
If Snape were following Dumbledore's wishes, why were "revulsion and hatred etched" in Snape's face as a gazed at Dumbledore just before killing him? Firstly, revulsion at having to perform an Unforgivable Curse, the death spell Avada Kedavra. Discussing the killing afterwards, the Hogwarts teachers and pupils agree that they had never believed that Snape, for all his faults, could kill a man. To fulfill the Unbreakable Vow and Dumbledore's wishes, Snape had act in revolt against his true nature.
As for the "hatred", Snape knows that a wizard must act with hatred in order to successfully cast an Unforgivable Curse. Hatred comes easily to Snape, and he had all sorts of resentments which he could bring to mind--including, perhaps, hatred of Dumbledore for making Harry Potter into the headmaster's favorite. And then there is a full reservoir of self-hatred from his miserable childhood, compounded by his many cruelties as an adult.
But my guess is that the primary source of the "revulsion and hatred" is that Snape knows the same things that Dumbledore had learned just a few minutes before, when Dumbledore drank the magic potion--from the basin in the secret lake where Voldemort had hidden a Horcrux. (Note the meaning of "whore/horrible cross"--a perverted version of the soul-saving object which overcomes death.)
Dumbledore suffered agony while drinking the ten goblets of potion. Harry presumed that Dumbledore was simply hallucinating while he drank, but I believe that Dumbledore instead was seeing some terrible truths.
Harry saw Dumbledore become frightened. He moaned "…don't like…want to stop…I don't want to…Let me go… Make it stop, make it stop." (The last phrase echoes the frightened scream "make it stop" of the girl Regan, who is possessed by a demon in The Exorcist.) Dumbledore continued, "I can't, don't make me, I don't want to…"
Then, "It's all my fault, all my fault…I know I did wrong, oh please make it stop and I'll never, never again…Don't hurt them…it's my fault, hurt me instead…" (The last phrase echoes what the young exorcizing priest Father Karras yelled at the demon: "Take me" The demon immediately left the girl's body, and inhabited the Karras, who immediately hurled himself out the window to his death--thereby thwarting the demon; he survived just long enough to receive last rites, and die peacefully.)
Dumbledore implored "Make it stop, make it stop, I want to die!"
Then, as just before Harry gave Dumbledore the tenth and final goblet, Dumbledore yelled "Kill me!" "'This--this one will!' gasped Harry." (573).
Dumbledore, I believe, realized that he had made a terrible mistake which had empowered Voldemort, and that only by dying could Dumbledore stop the harm from that mistake. As Dumbledore had told Harry long before, "I make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being--forgive me--rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger." (197).
What was the mistake? It likely has something to do with the meeting that Voldemort arranged years ago with Dumbledore, ostensibly to apply for a professorship at Hogwarts. Dumbledore was baffled by the meeting, since Voldemort (a/k/a Tom Riddle) plainly knew that there was no chance that Dumbledore would hire him, and Dumbledore knew that Riddle knew.
Yet Dumbledore let Riddle into Dumbledore's own office. Watching a replay of the meeting in Dumbledore's Pensieve, Harry notices something at the very end of the meeting, which Dumbledore, it seems, did not: "For a second, Harry was on the verge of shouting a pointless warning: He was sure that Voldemort's hand had twitched toward his pocket and his wand; but the moment had passed, Voldemort had turned away, the door was closing, and he was gone." (446).
Whatever malignant spell that Voldemort secretly cast on that day--enchanting something in Dumbledore's own office, or even Dumbledore himself--had consequences which Dumbledore only realized when he drank the potion on the island. The spell may have involved inserting into Hogwarts (in a deep magical disguise) the four followers of Voldemort who were waiting gathered in the town outside Hogwarts. As Dumbledore told Riddle during the interview, it made no sense for Riddle to have been accompanied by the four, if Riddle only wanted to speak with Dumbledore.
In any case, Dumbledore understood, for reasons that are still unclear to us, that he had to die soon in order to save innocents.
Snape's final scene is consistent with the thesis that Snape is not a true servant of the Dark Lord.
Significantly, Snape protects Harry, in a sense. Snape's timely spell-casting prevents Harry from uttering an Unforgivable Curse. Snape was not present in the showdown at the Ministry of Magic at the end of book 5, so he may not know that Harry has already cast an Unforgivable Curse. Bellatrix (meaning female warrior, and also the name of the bright star that is Orion's right shoulder) does know that Harry uttered an Unforgivable Curse, but--given her embarrassment at her own failure in the Ministry--may not have given Snape a blow-by-blow account of every aspect of the battle.
In the showdown with Harry outside the school grounds, Snape's face is full of hatred, but it's understandable. Harry attempts to cast a spell on Snape which Snape, as a Hogwarts student, had invented himself. Harry's father, James Potter, had bullied his fellow student Snape by using a Snape-invented spell against Snape. (This is the Snape memory that Harry watched in Snape's Pensieve, in book 5.)
If Snape has always been playing a complex double game against Voldemort (or at least working both sides of the street, and keeping his options open, to make sure he can jump to the winning side), why doesn't Voldemort know? After all, the Dark Lord is, as Snape says in chapter 2, "the most accomplished Legilimens the world has ever seen?" (Like many spells, Regimens is just a Latin variant; in this case, for "read-mind.")
This answer is easy. Snape is a superb practitioner of Occlumency, which blocks an attempt to read one's mind. Remember that in book 5, Harry was ordered to take Occlumency lessons from Snape--with the expectation that if Potter learned well (he barely even tried), Potter would be able to prevent Voldemort from reading Harry's mind, despite the intense mental link between Harry and Voldemort. Indeed, Occlumency, in a metaphorical sense, is the essence of Snape's character. He is the man of the "unreadable" expression. (35). Ever since book 1, Rowling has been pulling surprises about Snape, so that readers never know for certain what are Snape's true intentions.
Consider the possibility that Snape may know the full prophecy. In book 5, Dumbledore explains to Harry how job applicant Sybil Trelawny entered a trance, which she does not remember, and uttered the prophecy one night shortly before Harry was born. (427) (Her first name comes from the Greek "Sibylla," meaning "prophetess." She shares a last name with Edward John Trelawny, a 19th century English "self-promoting…brilliant story-teller…[who]…was far from truthful." Professor Trelawny is mostly a self-promoting fraud, but she does get things right sometimes, as in book 6, when the cards keep sending message of impending doom on a tower.)
Trelawny tells Harry that her job interview with Dumbledore was interrupted by the discovery that Snape was eavesdropping. (545). Dumbledore presumes that Snape only told Voldemort the first half of the prophecy. (549) (The first part identifies a baby born July 31--either Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom--as a dangerous foe of Voldemort.) Dumbledore's presumption is accurate, since Voldemort clearly does not know the second half of the prophecy, and spent all of book 5 in a futile effort to learn it. And Snape plainly told Voldemort the first half of the prophecy, since Voldemort then began planning to kill baby Harry, although he succeeded only in killing Harry's parents.
Accordingly, Dumbledore and Harry presume that Snape does not know the second half of the prophecy, because they assume that Snape, who at the time was a Death Eater, would have told Voldemort everything that Snape knew. But maybe Dumbledore and Harry are wrong in their presumption. Perhaps Snape was playing a double game even then, and decided to retain some options for himself by keeping the second half of the prophecy to himself. Especially because the prophecy suggests that Voldemort's side might not be the winning side in the long run.
The first half of the prophecy is:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies . and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not"
The second half of the prophecy explains, I suggest, why Harry must die in book 7, so that Voldemort can be destroyed:
and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.
"[N]either can live while the other survives." On the face of it, the statement is absurd. Voldemort and Harry are both alive, and both survive, simultaneously. We tend to think of "live" and "survive" as synonyms. Yet if the two words are synonyms, the prophecy is incorrect.
It could be argued, if a person is not mortal, he is in a sense not truly living. The immortal creatures (that is, creatures which survive endlessly) which we have seen are ghosts and inferni. Each of them survives, yet neither of them lives.
Thus, as long as Harry survives, Voldemort is not mortal. Accordingly, Voldemort is, in a sense, not living. And perhaps, in some as-yet unknown way, Harry is immortal as long as Voldemort survives.
Referring to Godric Gryffindor's sword, Dumbledore states, "the only known relic of Gryffindor remains safe" from Voldemort's attempt to implant a Horcrux. (505) Yes, but could there be an unknown relic of the co-founder of Hogwarts? Such as the last living descendant of Godric Gryffindor (just as Voldemort, the Heir of Slytherin, is the last descendant of Salazar Slytherin)?
Harry was born in Godric Hollow. There are numerous reasons, detailed in the book by John Granger, to believe that Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor. His name even sounds like "heir" when Fleur Delacour call him 'Arry with her French accent.
The reason that Harry must die in order that Voldemort may "live" (as a mortal) rather than "survive" (as a deathless immortal) is that the final Horcrux is contained within Harry himself.
At the very end of book 6, Harry announces his plans to return briefly to the Dursleys (pursuant to Dumbledore's previous instructions), and then to go for the first time in his life to Godric Hollow, the home of his infancy, before setting out on a quest for the Horcruxes. (630-31). The journey to the home where his parents were murdered will be even more significant to his quest than Harry currently realizes.
By returning in the summer of his 16th year to the unhappy home where he was raised, and thereafter to the place where he was born, Harry will recapitulate what Tom Riddle did in the summer of his own 16th year. (363).
"I am sure he was intending to make his final Horcrux with your death," Dumbledore explained to Harry. (506).
But Voldemort's death/Horcrux spell on baby Harry went terribly wrong, and blasted Voldemort's body out of existence. Yet maybe Voldemort did, unbeknownst to himself, create that final Horcrux: in Harry Potter himself. The lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead is clearly more than a wound from the attack, since we know it magically links Harry and Voldemort. Could it also be the final Horcrux? And so for Voldemort to be destroyed with finality, Harry himself must die too.
Perhaps there's some way to destroy only the Horcrux, without killing Harry. But from what we've seen so far, in order to destroy a Horcrux, such as the one contained in Tom Riddle's diary, one must destroy the Horcrux-carrier too. (The Letters of Marque blog by Michigan Law student Heidi Bond contains an extensive discussion of the "Harry has a Horcrux" theory.)
One final mystery: who is the "R.A.B." who had already swiped the Horcrux from the basin on the island on Lake Voldemort, long before Dumbledore and Harry arrived to attempt to take the Horcrux? As Hermione's archival research shows, there is no plausible Horcrux-swiper with the initials "R.A.B." (We don't know the middle initial of Regulus Black, the deceased younger brother of Harry's godfather. But I presume that Hermione is such a thorough researcher that she would not have failed to discover the middle initial of such an obvious suspect.)
Remember Dumbledore's words to Harry, as the two of them successfully returned from their journey through Voldemort's lake in the cave: "One alone could not have done it…" (577).
So "R.A.B." might be the initials for a team of three wizards who took the Horcrux locket. Yet the enchanted boat which is necessary to cross from the shore to the island can detect magic, and will only allow a single adult wizard passenger. The boat does not prevent Harry from riding with Dumbledore because Harry is still underage, and thus his powers apparently do not "register" with the boat's passenger detectors. (564). If so, it would seem impossible that three adult wizards could have ridden the boat. Were at least two of the "R.A.B" trio underage? Or did they just bring brooms so they could fly?
Moreover, whoever took the Horcrux would have needed to first empty the basin by drinking all its potion. So how did the basin get refilled with potion by the time Harry and Dumbledore arrived?
Here's my theory: R.A.B. refers, in whole or in part, to Severus Snape. When Hermione reports on her archival research about wizards with the initials R.A.B., none of whom seem plausibly to be the Horcrux-taker, she concludes, "No, actually, it's about…well, Snape." (636). What she means is that while looking up "R.A.B.," she ran across a small newspaper article revealing that Snape's mother had the maiden name "Prince" and she married a muggle; Hermione has discovered why Severus Snape called himself "The Half-blood Prince." (636-37). But perhaps Hermione has said more than she knows when she says that "R.A.B." is about Snape.
As a potions genius, Snape might have known a way to neutralize the potion while consuming it. He likewise might have known how to re-fill the basin with fresh potion, after he had emptied it, and taken the Horcrux.
I believe that Harry is correct in his prediction, "if I meet Severus Snape along the way, so much the better for me, so much the worse for him." (651) But how things work out between Snape and Harry will be immensely more complex than Harry now understands.
I searched the web for "R.A.B." plus "legends." What I found was the Croatian Island of Rab and the story of its patron saint, as told in the Golden Legend. Written by Jacobus de Vorgaigne, the Golden Legend is a 15th-century collection of biographies of saints and other pious stories. In its heyday, it was published in every major European language, and was second only to the Bible in popularity. The best-seller offered fascinating stories of magic--in the form of miraculous relics--which reinforced Christian faith.
Here is the story of Rab's patron:
Once there was a Canaanite named Reprobus, a huge man of "right great stature" who bore "a terrible and fearful" countenance. He decided "that he would seek the greatest prince that was in the world, and him would he serve and obey." So first Reprobus served the most powerful king in the world. But then he learned that the king was afraid of the devil. So Reprobus left the king and went to find the devil. Upon meeting him, Reprobus "took him for his master and Lord." Later, Reprobus discovered that the devil was afraid of Christ.
So Reprobus left the devil, and asked a hermit to tell him how to serve Christ. The hermit ordered him to use his great strength to carry travelers across a nearby river. One day, he was carrying a child, "And the water of the river arose and swelled more and more: and the child was heavy as lead… And when he was escaped with great pain, and passed the water, and set the child aground, he said to the child: Child, thou hast put me in great peril; thou weighest almost as I had all the world upon me, I might bear no greater burden." The passenger revealed himself as the Christ-child, and gave Reprobus a staff which could perform miracles.
The name of Reprobus ("wicked person") was changed to Christopher ("Christ-bearer"), the first usage of that name. Christopher and his staff performed many miracles, converted thousands of souls, and, in facing martyrdom bravely, converted still more.
I doubt that J.K. Rowling plans to work the Golden Legend directly into volume 7, but--given her extremely broad knowledge of literature and of the inspiring myths and legends of Europe--it is almost impossible that she doesn't know the Golden Legend.
In any case, I expect that the final volume of the Harry Potter series will complete the story of Severus Snape as a wicked man who first served ordinary power, then Evil incarnate, and finally--by courageously risking his own life and using his enormous talents--will come face-to-face with the Right, as he is liberated from the burden of his own sins, and liberates many other sinners as well.

Hercules Wimbledon Athletic – Roper underlines class at London Indoor Games
26 January 2018 24 January 2018 Sports Reporter	0 Comments
Jaleel Roper was not far off his best time as he moved up to the men's under-17 age group in the London Indoor Games at Lee Valley Athletics Centre on Saturday, writes Tom Pollak.
Jaleel Roper who made an impressive start to his 2018 programme
He went through the whole of last season unbeaten in all the championships he contested.
Roper, who won the Surrey, South of England, England and Surrey and English Schools 100 metres titles in 2017, was not far off his PB of 7.09 seconds – set in winning the English indoor 60m title in Sheffield last February – as he clocked 7.11 and 7.13 to finish third and second respectively in his 60m races.
He was down to also compete in the 200m but his coach Paul Miller, himself a three-time Surrey 100m champion, decided against it.
Miller said: "Jaleel is still suffering from the effects of a cold but he will run a lot faster in the next few weeks. We are looking to make sure he peaks for the national indoors next month."
Two weeks earlier, Roper reached the South of England men's under-17 60 metres final, also at Lee Valley. In his first races since winning the England under-15 100m and 200 metres titles at Bedford last August, Roper won his heat in 7.22 and his semi-final in 7.20 before pulling out of the final. However, he showed much faster form in the London Indoor Games last weekend.
Roper, 14, has been shortlisted for Junior Sports Person of the Year in the Active Wandsworth Awards for his unbeaten record in 2017 and also been selected to take the best boys' under-15 Surrey championship award for his 60m sprint win last February.
Also at Lee Valley, Hercules Wimbledon's 2017 European indoor 60m finalist Theo Etienne took the silver medal in the South of England senior men's 60m final in 6.67 after winning his heat and semi-final in 6.77 and 6.76.
Nimi Kolade clocked a personal best of 7.00 in finishing sixth in his semi-final after taking third place in his heat in 7.05.
Robert Philpott finished fifth in the South of England under-17 200m final in 23.47 after winning his heat in 23.62 and finishing second in his semi-final in 23.36. He was fourth in his 60m semi-final in 7.38 after clocking a faster 7.36 in finishing third in his heat.
Hercules Wimbledon newcomer Ryan Facey
Newcomer Ryan Facey, 18, who has switched to athletics from football, where was a forward with the Metropolitan Police youth team, made an impressive debut, just failing to reach the South of England under-20 60m final.
He came third in his semi-final in 7.02 after taking second in his heat in 7.05.
Miller said: "He's a raw talent. I've been training him for a month and he didn't even know how to use starting blocks when he came to me. I'm very impressed with him.".
Ellen Weir was the club's best performer in the Surrey Schools cross country championships staged in pouring rain at Priory Park, Reigate, on Saturday. She was fifth in the junior girls race to gain selection for the English schools championships in Temple Newsam Park, Leeds, on March 17. Lauren Ermitage was seventh in the girls under-13 race with Lloyd Hodgson fifth in the under-13 boys championship. Sam Barker and Henry Silverstein were 12th and 13th in the senior boys championship.

A community on Tasmania's east coast is divided over council plans to build a $4.5 million mountain bike trail network.
Plans for the 66-kilometre Stacked Loop Network south of St Helens, and the Bay of Fires Descent Trail, have some residents worried about the environmental impacts.
The Tasmanian Government has committed $1 million to the Stacked Loop Network, which will be stage two of the Derby track — the venue this year for the Enduro World Series.
Landscape ecologist and St Helens resident Christine Hosking said she was worried about the impact on flora and fauna.
"There's a very rare little velvet worm in this environment living right here that doesn't exist anywhere else," she said.
"It lives in leaf litter and something else needs to eat that worm and so on up the food chain, until we get to the masked owls that are now a threatened endangered species in Tasmania.
"Every time you disturb habitat and bush is lost, all those species and that biodiversity gets affected."
Local resident Todd Dudley said he did not believe the mountain bike trails would benefit the whole community.
"Connecting walking and bike tracks between St Helens and Binalong Bay and St Helens Point would be a far more benefit to the local community than these bike tracks," he said.
External Link: Organisers said the Enduro World Series mountain bike event was a coup for Tasmania.
He said the environment needed to be put ahead of "mass tourism".
Break O'Day Mayor Mick Tucker said council was considering the environmental impacts of the trails.
"We've doing an awful lot of work with the flora and fauna and, as I said, we've got experts in that field, highly reputable experts and all of that's been done," he said.
"The actual building of it will take probably 12 months but we've got to get the final approval process done and as council, we're the same as everyone. We have a very strict guideline that we follow."
Cr Tucker said the economic impacts on the town would be immense.
"There's a possibility of around 80 to 150 full time jobs that could be generated by the introduction of the mountain bike tracks," he said.
"So to our economy, to our increasing population, increasing our rate base, it ticks all the boxes."
The Break O'Day Council has budgeted $600,000 for the project, while the State Government has committed $1 million and the Federal Government has pledged $1.6 million.
Local resident Simon Holmes runs a program with disengaged youth in St Helens, and often takes the young people to trails in Derby and the Blue Tier.
"There's not that much to do for kids in St Helens, and getting kids out into the bush on mountain bikes is just transformative," he said.
"Not only do the kids get out into nature and really learn to appreciate the natural environment but they also get fit and it keeps them occupied."
Mr Holmes said a trail network in St Helens could be lifechanging for young people in St Helens.
"Not only for their own personal health and wellbeing but also in terms of careers in adventure guiding, mountain bike maintenance and tour guiding."

I don't know about you, but listening to the morning radio has become a part of my life. It's my go-to information source to avoid the morning traffic (Actually, I think it's the majority of us.) But, more importantly, it gets my day started. Maybe that's the reason why nearly 3 billion people worldwide listen to radio weekly.
Unfortunately, many big companies are aiming to have the same slice of pie. As the digital world blooms, most traditional industries are just left behind to be eradicated by time. For example, millenial entertainment platforms, like Youtube and Netflix are moving people away from the television. But, is that really the case for the radio industry? Let's find out.
Why Should You Be Interested In This Business?
Over 70% of US and Canadian individuals say they listen to the radio on most days, according to a research conducted by Deloitte. Surprisingly, the results were the same for all age groups (and I thought the younger generation wouldn't be a fan of radio.) Furthermore, it's reported that the global radio revenue will reach $40B at the end of 2019. And this means business for you (if you had the means to reach them).
At Creative Bear Tech, we provide the most targeted radio station email list. It's a sales steroid for start-ups who haven't gain footing in their industry. Our email list grants you access to all the B2B emails in the radio industry. From Z-100 in New York to BBC Radio 2 in the UK; it's almost like a never-exhausting list. When you're low on leads, just open up the excel spreadsheet and start reaching out to these stations.

All you're missing is our email list to get those email addresses that pay you.

Australian author TF Walsh emigrated from Romania to Australia at the age of eight and now lives in a regional city south of Sydney. She is a very popular writer of paranormal fantasy and horror, having written at least six bestselling novels.
Readers on the lookout for Christmas stories that stray from the usual fireside warm tales will find this book a welcome departure. To set the tempo she offers a glossary that defines what to expect, wulfkin wise: 'Moonwulf – Wolf shifters who will transform from human to wolf form only during the full moon. Wulfkin – Moonwulves who have gone through the Lunar Eutine rite of passage and are now able to change at will into their wolf form. Lunar Eutine – A rite of passage for a moonwulf to permanently transform into a wulfkin. It takes place beneath a blood moon. Eutine means true of heart and draws on a moonwulf's connection to his or her inner wolf. When the moon is completely shrouded in black, a new wulfkin will be delivered. Alpha – The leader of a pack of wulfkin/ moonwulves who rules only over his or her claimed territory. Varlac – A reigning wulfkin clan who rule and set laws for all alphas living under their territory jurisdiction (e.g., Europe, Africa, etc.). Varlac Emperor Alpha – Varlac leader who rules over every Varlac, alpha and pack in Europe.' So now with the characters clearly in mind the story can begin. Hold on tight!

2 Title: Boddie Recording Company Records
Creator: Boddie Recording Company
Abstract: The Boddie Recording Company (1958-1993) was the first recording studio in Cleveland, Ohio, owned by African-Americans. Thomas Boddie (d. 2006) created all his recording equipment by hand rather than purchasing pre-made machines, and he pressed his own vinyl records. This allowed him to hold down costs, thus attracting a wide range of clientele in need of demonstration records and small runs of 45 rpm records. His clientele included musicians of various styles, including gospel, country, bluegrass, rock, soul, and rhythm and blues, earning the studio the nickname of "Little Nashville". Records were made for national distribution as well as for independent groups and artists who only wished to have their music recorded for personal use or local distribution, such as recordings of sermons for church groups, with Boddie creating small, independent record labels for the purpose. Thomas Boddie began his interest in sound systems and recordings as a teenager in his home on Kinsman Ave. in Cleveland in the 1940s. Though talented and educated in the fields of sound and electrical engineering, he had difficulty finding work due to his race. He first found employment as an organ repairman, then at Wright-Patterson Air Base. After serving in the army during World War II, Boddie returned to Cleveland and began building the pieces of what would eventually become a full-fledged recording studio, designing and modifying equipment while working as a repairman. The studio survived through small business loans, Thomas's ability to save money through hard work and perseverance, and the consistent assistance of his wife Louise. He and his wife laid the concrete themselves for an addition to their house to form a record pressing plant, and he built an 8-track recording machine for about 15% of the cost of a new one. The Boddies traveled to various locations with their equipment to record groups and individuals on-site, quickly making multiple cassette recordings to sell after the event. When he discovered true potential talent, he would send recordings to Motown, where the artist had a better chance of becoming known, as the Boddie Recording Company did not have the sponsorship of large advertisers that Motown had. Thomas Boddie died in 2006. In 2009, the Numero Group purchased the large number of recordings made at the Boddie Recording Company, with many of the recordings scheduled to be released in late 2011. The collection consists of advertisements, booklets, business cards, contracts, correspondence, flyers, legal documents, miscellaneous notes, newspaper clippings, programs, receipts, sample 45rpm record designs, schematics, and transparencies.

FOREX (Foreign Exchange Market )
ERM and the UK 1992 Crisis UK's entry into the ERM was short-lived. The country's economic welfare deteriorated soon before and after joining the ERM. Interest rates, inflation, and economic growth were critical to control as far as UK's was concerned. Even after experiencing a boom in late 1980s, a looming recession was inevitable. This recession became a recipe for the 1992 UK crisis. Before joining the ERM, UK should have considered domestic interest rates and their relationship to inflationary pressures in the economy. In essence, preventing the ERM would have required UK to reduce inflation and stabilize economic growth before joining the ERM.
When UK joined the ERM, her DM rate stood at 2.95, slightly above the minimum requirement for the euro zone (Friedman and Woodford 182). In a bid to migrate the ERM loss, UK should have tried not to overvalue the pound. The overvaluation caused ripples in economic markets, allowing speculators to make profits at the expense of economic failure.
A graph of UK's Inflation-Economic Growth Levels between 1982 and 1992
Source: Bank of England (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/Pages/home.aspx)
Drawing from the above diagram, UK government could have migrated losses by avoiding buying of pounds using foreign exchange reserves. As the diagram suggests, 1990 and 1992 exhibits inhibited economic growth and significantly high inflation. Artificial overvaluation of the pound under such circumstances proved catastrophic to the UK.
A Graph of UK's Base Rates between 1985 and1993
By 1992, UK base rates were on a decline trend as the above diagram suggests. However, the actual scenario on the ground was different. UK had revised interest rates upwards, an aspect that further accelerated economic failure. In response, UK left ERM, cut interest rates, and embarked on economic growth stimulation through inflation reduction, housing market corrections, and employment creation.

Phase 2 Trial Suggests Trilaciclib Before Chemo Significantly Improves OS in Metastatic TNBC
Lisa Astor
Conference | SABCS
Final data from a phase 2 trial suggested that the administration of trilaciclib before chemotherapy comprised of gemcitabine and carboplatin resulted in a significant improvement in overall survival in previously treated patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
In previously treated patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), the administration of the CDK4/6 inhibitor trilaciclib before chemotherapy comprised of gemcitabine and carboplatin (GCb) led to a significant improvement in overall survival (OS), according to final data from a randomized phase 2 trial (NCT02978716).1
These study results, presented during the 2020 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), also revealed that OS benefits were maintained across subgroup analyses and observed in patients irrespective of CDK4/6 dependence, immune signature, and PD-L1 expression status.
"Subgroup analyses suggest that administering trilaciclib prior to GCb enhances antitumor efficacy, regardless of CDK4/6 dependence and PD-L1 expression. Furthermore, adding trilaciclib prior to GCb appears to preserve and enhance immune system function," Joyce O'Shaughnessy, MD, said in a poster presentation of the final analysis. "These data support further investigation of the association between enhanced antitumor immunity and improved survival in patients with TNBC receiving trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy."
The randomized, open-label, multicenter study enrolled patients with mTNBC who had previously received up to 2 prior lines of chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Patients were randomized equally to 1 of 3 groups: group 1 received gemcitabine and carboplatin chemotherapy alone on days 1 and 8, group 2 received trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy on days 1 and 8, and group 3 received trilaciclib on days 1 and 8 and prior to chemotherapy on days 2 and 9.
Treatment consisted of gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 and carboplatin area under the curve 2 with or without intravenous trilaciclib 240 mg/m2 given over 30 (±5) minutes prior to chemotherapy; the regimens were administered in 3-week cycles until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.
Progression-free survival (PFS) and OS were key secondary end points, but the primary end point of the study was the duration of severe neutropenia in cycle 1 and occurrence of severe neutropenia at any time during treatment. Additional analyses explored outcomes based on CDK4/6 and immune subtyping as well as by PD-L1 status.
A total of 102 patients were enrolled in the study, including 34 in group 1, 33 in group 2, and 35 in group 3. Baseline characteristics were considered to be similar between the arms.
Preliminary results of the study demonstrated that the mean duration of severe neutropenia was 0.8 days in group 1, 1.5 days in group 2, and 1.0 day in group 3. Severe neutropenia was reported in 26%, 36%, and 23% of the 3 groups, respectively.2
Although the myelosuppression was not significantly different with the addition of trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy, the OS results were encouraging.
The final results showed that the addition of trilaciclib prior to chemotherapy resulted in higher objective response rates (ORRs), longer PFS, and statistically significant improvements in OS compared with chemotherapy alone. "Mature data from this study were consistent with the primary analysis," said O'Shaughnessy, who is co-chair of Breast Cancer Research and chair of Breast Cancer Prevention Research at Baylor-Sammons Cancer Center and The US Oncology Network.
As of the earlier May 15, 2020, data cutoff, the ORR was 29.2% in group 1, 50.0% in group 2, and 38.7% in group 3. Among all 68 patients who were treated with trilaciclib, the overall ORR was 44.3%.
In group 1, the median PFS was 5.7 months (95% CI, 3.3-9.9) compared with 9.4 months (95% CI, 6.1-11.9) in group 2 (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.32-1.20; P = .2099) and 7.3 months (95% CI, 6.2-13.9) in group 3 (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.32-1.22; P = .1816). The median PFS for all patients treated with trilaciclib was 9.0 months (95% CI, 6.4-11.3) (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.36-1.10; P = .1291).
With the final data cutoff of July 17, 2020, the final OS results showed a median OS of 12.6 months (95% CI, 6.3-15.6) for patients in group 1. The median OS was not reached (NR; 95% CI, 10.2-NR) in group 2 (HR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.15-0.63; P = .0016) and 17.8 months (95% CI, 12.9-32.7) in group 3 (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.22-0.74; P = .0004). For all patients treated with trilaciclib, the median OS was 19.8 months (95% CI, 14.0-NR) (HR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.21-0.63; P <.0001).
Tumors were retrospectively characterized for CDK4/6 subtyping by the PAM50 and Lehmann TNBCtype-4 signatures as either CDK4/6 dependent, independent, or variable/indeterminate. By the PAM50 signature, basal-like tumors have known CDK4/6 independence and HER2-enriched, normal-like, and luminal A/B tumors have variable dependence. According to the Lehmann TNBCtype-4 signature, luminal androgen receptor types have a known dependence and some basal-like and mesenchymal tumors have variable dependence.
By the PAM50 signature, in group 1 the median OS was 10.1 months. In group 2, the median OS was NR (HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8; P = .0164). The median OS in group 3 was 22.3 months (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8; P = .0095). For groups 2 and 3 combined, the median OS was 22.3 months (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.2-0.7; P = .003).
According to the Lehmann signature, the median OS in group 1 was 9.7 months. In group 2, the median OS was NR (HR, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.0-0.7; P = .0052). For group 3, the median OS was 15.3 months (HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.2-1.3; P = .1397). In groups 2 and 3 combined, the median OS was 15.3 months (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8; P = .008).
"Antitumor efficacy outcomes were similar in patients with tumors characterized as CDK4/6 dependent, confirming that trilaciclib did not antagonize the antitumor effects of GCb in the CDK4/6-dependent population," O'Shaughnessy said.
Of 85 patients evaluable for PD-L1 expression, 49 (57.6%) were positive. The benefit of trilaciclib treatment was seen irrespective of PD-L1 status, but a larger OS benefit was seen for patients who were PD-L1 positive.
Within the PD-L1–positive population, the median OS in group 1 was 10.5 months compared with 20.1 months in group 2 (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.2-1.0; P = .037) and 32.7 months for group 3 (HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8; P = .01). The combined trilaciclib groups had a median OS of 32.7 months (HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.2-0.7; P = .004).
In the PD-L1–negative population, the median OS was 13.9 months in group, NR in group 2 (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.1-1.2), 17.8 months in group 3 (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.2-1.4; P = .198) and 17.8 months in combined groups 2 and 3 (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.2-1.2; P = .093).
Both PFS and OS were increased with added trilaciclib prior to GCb regardless of patients' immune subtypes or high/low immune-related gene expression.
"When we assessed the effect of trilaciclib on the peripheral T-cell repertoire, we saw a significant decrease in Simpson clonality among patients receiving trilaciclib [P interaction = .012]. When patients were stratified above or below median Simpson clonality at baseline, there was a significant improvement in survival among patients with decreased clonality receiving trilaciclib [P = .02]," O'Shaughnessy said. "Survival also appeared to be improved among patients with a higher fraction of newly expanded T-cell clones who received trilaciclib [P = .3]. These data suggest the addition of trilaciclib to GCb activates T-cell immunity, potentially leading to the antitumor benefit observed in the study."
In a spotlight poster presentation, Cristina Saura Manich, MD, PhD, head of the Breast Cancer Program at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, noted that the trial was not powered to detect differences in OS, so a powered trial is needed to confirm these results.
As such, the developer of trilaciclib, G1 Therapeutics, has announced that a registrational trial for trilaciclib in combination with GCb chemotherapy in patients with mTNBC will begin in 2021. The combination will be explored in patients with mTNBC who have not received a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor being treated in the frontline setting, and in patients who have received a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor being treated in the second-line setting. A total of 250 patients are expected to be enrolled, with the majority in the frontline cohort.3
The primary end point of this randomized, double-blind trial will be OS with secondary end points of patient-reported outcomes, safety, tolerability, myelopreservation, and PFS.

Gulaga, dual-named as Mount Dromedary and also referred to as Mount Gulaga, is mountain located in the south coast region of New South Wales, Australia. It rises above the village of Central Tilba and is within the Gulaga National Park. At its highest point, it measures 806 metres (2,644 ft) above sea level.
Najanuka / Little Dromedary Mountain, also dual-named, lies 6.37 km (3.96 mi) to the south-east, and both mountains are of great significance to the local Aboriginal people, the Dhurga-speaking Yuin people.

Aboriginal significance
Gulaga is the place of ancestral origin within the mythology of the Yuin people, the Aboriginal people of the area. Gulaga itself symbolises the mother and provides a basis for Aboriginal spiritual identity; the mountain as well as the surrounding area holds particular significance for Aboriginal women. For the Yuin people it is seen as a place of cultural origin. The mountain is regarded as a symbolic mother-figure providing the basis for the people's spiritual identity.[4][5] Gulaga, the mother, has two sons: Barunguba, also known as Montague Island, and Najanuka, named Little Dromedary by Europeans. The story tells that her second son was not allow to go far from home, as his elder brother did, and that Gulaga can see her both her sons in the distance.[6]
European discovery and mining
The first Europeans to sight the mountain were the crew of Captain Cook's ship, HMS Endeavour on 21 April 1770. Endeavour passed the mountain at a distance of 24 km (15 mi) offshore. Cook named it "Mount Dromedary", as its figure reminded him of the hump of a camel.[7]
In the mid-1800s Mount Dromedary, became a prominent site of gold mining. Rev. W.B. Clarke first found traces of alluvium gold in Dignams Creek in 1852. Gold mining then became a common activity in the area. A significant amount of gold was found in deposits along streams coming from Gulaga's slopes. Between 1878 and 1920 approximately 603 kilograms (1,329 lb) of gold was found in its slopes. Near the crest of Gulaga, reefs were discovered in 1877 that allowed for gold mineralisation. These pyrite-rich veins, ranging in size from 15 to 45 centimetres (5.9 to 17.7 in), were mined by the Mount Dromedary Gold Mining Company mainly between 1878 and 1910.[8]
In May 2006 the Gulaga National Park, incorporating the former Wallaga Lake National Park, was handed back to its traditional owners, the Yuin people, in a historic agreement signed by the NSW Environment Minister and the Yuin people.[9][10][11] The agreement also included Biamanga National Park, which incorporates Mumbulla Mountain, the "men's mountain".[5]
After a period of community consultation from mid-2021,[12] The mountain was officially assigned the dual names of Gulaga and Mount Dromedary on 30 November 2021. Signage would place Gulaga first and the European name underneath it,[13] reflecting the importance of the Dhurga language, history and traditions. At the same time, Little Dromedary Mountain was dual-named Najanuka / Little Dromedary Mountain, and the island Barunguba / Montague Island.[6]
When Gulaga / Mount Dromedary was once an active volcano, part of a complex covering about 40 km2 (15 sq mi), with the first of several eruptions occurring about 94 million years ago during the Mid Cretaceous. Its eruptions formed both Najanuka / Little Dromedary to the east and Baranguba/ Montague Island. Back then it would have been nearly 2,000 m (6,600 ft) higher than its current 797 m (2,615 ft) above sea level, with foothills stretching to Tuross Head. What remains today is the inner core of the original volcano. It has been dormant since end of the Cretaceous (65 million years ago).[8]
Gulaga is thus an igneous rock complex, known as Mount Dromedary Igneous Complex. It comprises a group of igneous and extrusive rocks of the Shoshonite association. There are also Ordovician sediments to the east and west of the villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba. The mountain is composed of banatite ("a rock of intermediate composition between quartz diorite and quartz monzonite". There is an outer layer of monzonite around the banatite core main core of Gulaga, probably emplaced by the vertical movement of magma which created intrusion into the surrounding Ordovician sediments. There are dykes within the complex, mainly composed of dolerite or quartz feldspar.[8]
At its highest point, Gulaga measures 806 metres (2,644 ft) above sea level.[1][2]
Gulaga is located within the 4,673-hectare (11,550-acre) Gulaga National Park and the area serves as a site for public activity as well as a place of significance for the Aboriginal peoples. The national park provides walkways along the mining roads, which provide views of the coastal lakes. The hike from Tilba to the summit is approximately 11 kilometres (6.8 mi); taking about a half a day to complete. Though it is steep in a few places along the way, it is a fairly leisurely hike, requiring no special hiking equipment.[4][14]
Access to the park is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of Bermagui. The lakes can be accessed by boat, which can be rented from Regatta Point or Beauty Point.[9]

Eredete arra vezethető vissza, hogy a 19. század embere feltétlenül hitt a fejlődésben, a polgárosodásban, és a felvilágosodás óta a reneszánszot tekintették az újkor kezdetének.

Az építészek egyre inkább elszakadtak a romantikus építészet elveitől. A romantikus félköríves stílus és a neoreneszánsz közti átmenetet képviseli a magyarországi építészettörténet egyik vízválasztója, a Friedrich August Stüler tervezte MTA épülete. Az érett historizmus neoreneszánsz alkotásai: Ybl Miklós: Opera, Szent István-bazilika; Jókai Mór balatonfüredi villája; Pártos Gyula: Szent István-templom (Kiskunfélegyháza); esztergomi prímási palota. A historizmus késői szakasza, amit egyre inkább fáradt eklekticizmus jellemez akár egy épületen belül is, a neoreneszánszból fejlődött ki.

The American Lung Association reports that the average adult gets up to four colds a year. While colds are normally minor viral infections, that's still a lot. Whether the virus attacks the sinuses, throat or respiratory system, it can lead to ear congestion, and eventually, an infection in the ear.
There are a few cold symptoms you don't want to ignore despite the fact that colds are usually thought to be harmless. Researchers have finally affirmed the suspected connection between ear infections and the common cold. This is an important discovery, because ear infections are a major contributing factor in the disturbing rise in antibiotic resistance.
Because your sinuses and ears are connected, it's not uncommon to feel stuffed up in your ears when you have a cold. Normally, this feeling comes and goes, especially if you're using a decongestant and your head is draining out fluids. But congestion can develop into an ear infection in only a few hours. This is the reason that if you're experiencing pain or discharge in your ears you need to seek professional help.
Pain is a sign that your cold is moving in the wrong direction and can be evidence of inflammation or infection. If you take care of it early enough, you can get a prescription for antibiotics and prevent permanent injury. It can lead to eardrum scaring and may harm the cilia if dismissed.
How serious is this? A cold will usually only cause temporary issues with your hearing. However, permanent hearing loss can result if the eardrum or cilia get injured and that can lead to other health problems.
Loss of cognitive ability, depression, an increase in accidents, and other health concerns have been connected to loss of hearing. Researchers have recently found a connection between hearing loss and more expensive healthcare expenses. As a matter of fact, in only 10 years, untreated hearing loss can raise your healthcare expenses by 46%.
Your probability of needing hospitalization with untreated hearing loss increases by 50%….and the likelihood of needing to be readmitted also increases.
It adds up every time your ears take even minor injury. Johns Hopkins found that just having mild hearing loss can double your risk of getting dementia. Consider the fact that considerable hearing loss can be caused by scarring on the eardrum from recurring ear infections.
Having Ear Pain for Days?
Discomfort or temporary hearing loss can be caused by an obstruction in the ear which can also be determined by a professional ear exam.
It's a sure indication that you should see a professional if you have prolonged hearing loss or pain in your ear. Schedule an appointment now.
