Mid-afternoon sunlight enters through the cracked curtains unwanted, a spec of light in a dim-lit room that reflects the inner linings of her discombobulated thoughts. Nora feels the Colorado Mountains caving in on her. With hands smothering her dark, hazelnut eyes, she peaks through the gaps in between her fingers as she witnesses the mountains pressing through the yellow-chipped walls of her room. Scattered-brain clothes decorate her room. Fist-imbedded holes in the wall reflect her heart like a looking at her reflection through chips of broken glass. Closer and closer, with fear resting in the pit of her stomach, she curls her body in like a fetus nesting in a mother's womb.
"It's okay," Oliver whispers, his angelic voice warming her emotions. "It's not real." The spec of sunlight outlines his frame, the paleness of his skin blending in with the afternoon light. As Nora examines him— his thin lips, the lightness of his buzz-cut brown hair, and the tint of green encompassing the spec of hazel in his eyes—she realizes that it is him. The person that shares the majority of her childhood memories. The ruler of her heart.
As he leans on the kitchen island—blood raging through Clarence's body—wrath-filled words spit out from his mouth and latch onto his local representative over the phone. Clarence's words are not enough to convince the congressman to repeal the bill that is already in place. As Clarence listens to the lies the congressman is feeding him, Clarence examines Nora's baby pictures that are scattered all around the kitchen doors. His father's voice clouds his thoughts like fog smothering rainy days. Man the hell up, boy, he recollects his father saying to him when Clarence first learned how to ride a bike, get the hell up off the ground and stop ya cryin', you hear? Big boys don't cry.
Clarence wipes the tears off his glistening, dark skin. He is supposed to be the man of the house, the protector of his family, the anchor holding the ship steady. Instead, his family becomes the anchor, quickly sinking in the still-blue ocean that is him.
She recollects her childhood thoughts in tranquility, feeling the tips of his fingers caressing her lower arm as their chests are inches apart. They exchange memories, each one causing laughter to rush up from the pit of their stomachs out and soreness to their ribs.
Nora remembers the day when Oliver first taught her how to ride a skateboard. She was only nine years old, a three-year age gap separating the two. After multiple times falling on the concrete, Oliver had dared her to go down the Deadly Hollows Hill on Grand Avenue. Without any hesitation, Nora flew down the hill, the skateboard rapidly shaking as she gained speed. A crack in the sidewalk was enough to launch her body several feet onto the concrete, rolling onto the front yard of a stranger's property. Multiple cuts and bruises were scattered across her arms. Oliver remembers racing down to Nora's unconscious body, his puberty-stricken cries punctured through the inaudible sounds of their neighborhood.
Looking back at it now, Oliver admits to Nora the humor in the way she fell; how her arms flailed uncontrollably like the wacky inflatable tube man in car dealerships. Nora's guffaw rises when Oliver tells her this, smothering her piercing laugh in the softness of his chest. She lifts her head up and stares into his eyes, remembering the times where Oliver shielded her from hate.
"Remember the time when you got in that fight with your friends from middle school because of what they said about me?" Nora asks, her soft words acting like whispers.
"Why?" he chuckles again to complement the seriousness of his question.
"And I will never forget this moment," he says, the two exchanging smiles with their eyes.
Walking through the door, work weighing heavy on her eyelids, Nancy is greeted with Clarence's spiteful words. She takes her white work shoes off her aching feet and investigates the reason for his anger, following the sound of his rage that leads her to the kitchen.
"Babe, what's wrong?" He points to the local news channel playing on the living room TV. She reads the headline, once, twice, no—three times, still in disbelief: Citizens outraged over local representatives' vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Her vision grows blurry from the tears collecting on her lower eyelids. Questions soar through her head, wondering what the next steps are for Nora and how they are going to afford the medication since their healthcare no longer covers people like her. With worry in her tear-stricken voice, she calls for Nora as she walks toward Nora's room. Nancy stands in front of her doorway, presses her left ear against the white, wooden doorframe, and hears the silent whispers of Nora. The sound of his name escaping Nora's mouth forces her stomach to drop and her knees to hit the maroon-colored, cushion carpet. Feeling the tear trails on her cheek seep into her skin, Nancy wonders why her family is the one who has to deal with the consequences of playing the game of politics.
"Nora, let's go! You're going to be late for school!" Nancy remembers saying this to Nora on that dreadful, September day. Little Nora rushed through the hallway to get to the kitchen. Her pink, Dora-theme backpack swiftly swayed against her back, grabbing her lunchbox off the kitchen counter before exiting the house. Nancy questioned what was taking her so long.
"Are you ready for your first day of fifth grade?" Nancy asked on their way to the elementary school. Fiddling with her doll's stringy hair, Nora replied with a passionless response.
The memory of seeing him in the school parking lot will forever haunt Nancy's thoughts. As she got back in her car from dropping off Nora and saying her goodbye with a kiss on the cheek, Nancy noticed a man in all black sitting in his car. He stood still like a statue in a cemetery—dark and mysterious—as the cap of his hat hid the identity of his eyes. For several seconds, Nancy locked eyes on this suspicious figure. She made up excuses for him in her thoughts. Maybe he's waiting for his child to enter the school safely, she said to herself. Maybe it's nothing. Maybe I'm overreacting, but that sinister smile he gave Nancy told her otherwise. Fear fumbled in the pit of her stomach as she rushed in the car and drove away without hesitation. Ever since that day, Nancy has held onto guilt, struggling to detach herself from the cause of Nora's situation.
She sees the dwindling of the sunlight fall on the paleness of Oliver's skin, the sun hiding behind the mountains as a trail of purple stains the sky. As nighttime ascends, his features, that Nora adores, start to fade away. The darkness of the room overshadows him, but Nora can still depict the army uniform that Oliver is so proud to wear. Her fingers travel to the embroidery of his last name stitched onto his Velcro badge. With wondering eyes, Nora notices the dried-up bloodstain that surrounds his last name. Oliver brings her hand to the bloodstain spot with ease, putting his hand on top of hers. Nora falls into his eyes with a question that is unable to dissipate from her thoughts: is this moment only temporary or will they have this for a lifetime?
"You know what I just thought of?" Nora says to Oliver. A slight chuckle escapes from her mouth.
"You remember when we went to the playground every Friday night, right?" Nora nods her head with a smirk, questioning where Oliver is going with this.
"Well, there was one night I specifically remember because that was the night I contemplated asking you to be my girlfriend," Oliver confesses.
Wipe those pitiful tears off your face before I hit you upside the head, boy, Clarence thinks to himself as he hangs up the phone. Hearing his father spit out his hateful rhetoric he used to call parenting causes anger to stir up in the pit of Clarence's stomach. He puts his head in between the palms of his hands and lets the tears go as they please. Failure and shame consume Clarence's thoughts as he resorts back to his old ways, letting his father's words enter his mind without any resistance. Clarence travels back to his recent disappointment at his law firm.
The white walls, the L-shaped desk scattered with various documents, and the lingering aroma of smoke cloud his memory of the day his boss had to let him go. His boss's cigar hung loosely from his mouth, no regards to the seriousness of their conversation. Throughout his whole employment there, Clarence had felt their eyes stuck on his every movement. He was well aware of the target on his back as the only African American at his job, but what he was not aware of was how no one had the decency to acknowledge his mistreatment at the job.
A flurry of emotions rush into Clarence as his mind goes back to his boss showing the security tape of him next to the fire alarm. He was only on his phone updating Nancy about his clients, but instead of believing him, they painted the act of him purposely pulling the fire alarm with the color of his skin. It did not matter that Clarence argued that they could not prove that he pulled it, that nowhere on the footage from the security tape showed him committing the act that cost the law firm a big chunk of money. Within minutes, Clarence, with two police officers escorting him out of the building, had left his job with his side of the story still untold.
Later that night, Clarence sat alone in the kitchen. The silence in the air intensifies his emotions, leaving room for the memory of his father to invade his thoughts. His bundled-up fists banged on the marble tile of the kitchen island every time he thought about the loose cigar hanging from his boss's lips. He wanted to slap it right out of his mouth, wanted to let his anger get the best of him so that his boss would be forced to listen to him, but he knew he could not do that. Clarence did not want to validate the image that had already invaded his boss and his colleagues: the typical image of the angry, black man. In that very moment, Clarence knew he had to sit down, shut up, and do what he was told. Even when the police officers escorted him out to the building, when their grip sparked immense pain in Clarence's arms, he knew not to resist— never resist.
"Dad?" Clarence heard Nora's voice as she peeked through the corner wall. He wiped his tears off his face before responding to her.
"Oh, sweetie. Come here." With open arms, Clarence felt the warmness of her body gently pressed against his. Lies escaped from his mouth when Clarence told Nora that everything was fine. But as he embraced Nora in his firm arms, he felt the lies puncture every inch of his heart as the tears intertwined with Nora's coiled, black locks.
His father's voice reels him back to this moment, his congressman justifying his reasoning for voting yes to the bill. What a pitiful man I raised, his father's distasteful voice slithers around Clarence's thoughts. As he listens to the man playing the game of politics in his favor, he cannot help but to think that maybe he father was right all along.
She presses her left ear with force to hear her baby laugh again. Nancy struggles to remember the last time her daughter laughed. On the one hand, she misses that laugh; how the acoustics of her cackling is enough to wake up their entire neighborhood. On the other hand, Nancy knows what this means for Nora. All Nancy wants is to shield her from the fantasies of life, to protect her from the monsters crawling in her brain. As she lays her sorrows down in front of Nora's bedroom door, she cannot help but feel inadequacy radiating in her bones. It's all right, child, Nancy hears her voice play in her head, Auntie Alma is so proud of you.
The memories the two of them shared sparks a smile on Nancy's face, streaks of tears traveling through the crevices of her lips. Auntie Alma instilled hope into Nancy's future as a kid. Whenever Nancy told her family that she wanted to be a best-selling poet, laughter erupted on their cigarette-stained breath, depleting her hope of making a career out of her writing. Auntie Alma was the only person who kept hope's heart beating. I believe in you, baby. You know that, right? But with memories always come the ones we try to suppress, the ones we keep under our tongues. She remembers the time she walked in the room of the hospital to visit Auntie Alma when she was fourteen years old. She cupped her small palms into Alma's frail hand with ease.
"Oh, Richard! I knew it was you!" Auntie Alma cried in excitement, her dementia getting the best of her. Nancy knew that the memory of her dissipated in Auntie Alma's brain. It was like they were strangers walking past each other in the streets of a big city. Even though Auntie Alma did not recognize her anymore, Nancy played along with it. She missed Auntie Alma's gorgeous smile that radiated happiness into her soul, and she knew the only way to see her smile again was to play the role of Uncle Richie in order to have this blissful moment with her.
"Yeah, sweet pea. It's me," Nancy said, mimicking his favorite nickname for Auntie Alma.
The whispers of Nora speaking his name again brings Nancy back to reality, and as she listens, Nancy cannot help seeing history repeat itself.
The outline of Oliver's body slowly recedes back into Nora's thoughts, sadness rooted in her eyes. She lays her tears in the comfort of her pillows, choking on her sorrows. She had always relied on Oliver to tell her when her hallucinations attempted to mask reality, when the voices in her head had taken total control of her thoughts. Ever since she received the news about Oliver, she has been trapped in her own mind, blinded by the two entities of reality and her hallucinations.
Nora always had her doubts about Oliver following the pattern of his two older brothers' footsteps in joining the army. She remembers the day when Oliver told her about his plan, the July sun seeping into their youthful skin as they swung on the swings in unison; how his ambitions poked and prodded her pain-stricken heart like a doctor examining the insides of a patient. She had hopes of him returning home, snuggling up in the warm embrace of his arms, but the fear that she hung onto transformed into reality.
Nora forces herself not to bring up the day of his funeral. She cannot fathom hearing his mother's cries replay in her brain, or the sounds of his two older brothers suffocating their cries in the palms of their hands. Instead, she curls into her little bubble, hiding from the reality of her illness.
The voices in her head guide her to a place where they first created a home in her thoughts. They bring her back to the sounds of the gunshots erupting in the school, her fifth-grade teacher guiding them in one of the corners of the classroom. Nora recalls the sound of his footsteps approaching the classroom, each step more terrifying than the last. Bullets surged through the door as the children's screams break the silence of the room. His all-black jacket and his hat shielding his eyes still permeate Nora's thoughts. She remembers the blood scattered on the chalkboard, the gunman's suicide leaving a permanent stain on all the children's hearts. For Nora, the incident manifested into her illness, morphing her perception of reality as, at times, unrecognizable.
Ever since that day, Nora's mind convinced her of the gunman's presence in close proximity to her. She would see him standing several feet away from her everywhere she went, doused in the all-black outfit he wore the day of the shooting. Screams erupted from her lungs whenever she imagined him. Nobody could calm her down if she did not take her pills that she dreaded taking, not even her parents. Oliver was the only one that could draw her back to reality.
"Look at me," he would always say to her. "He's not real, okay?" Now she is left with only the mere image of his existence, fighting a war between reality and the collection of her thoughts.

An online portal for undiagnosed patients
Posted on September 17, 2015 September 18, 2015 by Nancy Fliesler
Posted in Diagnostics, Information technology
More On: Orphan diseases, rare disease, undiagnosed disease

Prospects are looking up for patients who have no explanation for their symptoms despite extensive investigations and testing. There's a growing revolution in DNA diagnostics (see yesterday's example) and ongoing work to bring clarity and meaning to sequencing data. Patients with similar symptoms can find each other like never before, and are increasingly empowered to lead in research and discovery.
Another small but important development was announced yesterday by the National Institutes of Health. The NIH's Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) has opened up a one-stop online portal called the UDN Gateway where patients and families can apply for access to expert team analysis and testing. (A referral letter from a provider is required.)
Patients accepted through the portal will have access to researchers and physicians from a wide array of medical specialties and may have sophisticated DNA sequencing studies to uncover genetic explanations for their disorders.
The UDN was established last year to broaden NIH's existing Undiagnosed Diseases Program, which to date has enrolled more than 800 patients for a week-long evaluation in its clinical center in Bethesda, Maryland (that's out of more than 3,100 reviewed applications). The UDN adds six additional clinical sites, each of which will accept about 50 patients per year by the summer of 2017
"The UDN Gateway will expand our ability to connect with patients who may benefit from the UDN," said Anastasia Wise, PhD, UDN co-coordinator and program director of the NHGRI's Division of Genomic Medicine. "Based upon the experience of the Undiagnosed Diseases Program, we know that the need and potential are great."
The six new sites are:
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston
Duke Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, with Columbia University, New York City
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital
Stanford Medical Center, Stanford, California
University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
"The Gateway is an important part of the infrastructure that we are establishing for the UDN," said Rachel Ramoni, DMD, PhD, executive director and a principal investigator of the UDN Coordinating Center, housed at Harvard Medical School's Department of Biomedical Informatics.
The UDN has also introduced two DNA sequencing facilities, one at Baylor and the other at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology (Huntsville, Alabama) with Illumina in San Diego. For more about the UDN, visit http://commonfund.nih.gov/Diseases/index.

Kids on Koh Phangan are making it our mission to help you find things to do with kids on Koh Phangan Thailand. We also aim to give parents the practical information they need when travelling with small (and not so small!) children.
Koh Phangan is probably best known for it's Full Moon Parties, but this doesn't reflect what the island is all about. Away from the bustle of the party zone in Haad Rin and Baan Tai, the island is quiet and peaceful – perfect for families.
Year on year, the amount of families with young children visiting Koh Phangan continues to grow (as does the expat population). This has led to an increase in family-friendly restaurants, activities and things to do that cater for children & families.
We are a family of four who visit the island regularly and decided to start this blog to help other families discover what Koh Phangan can offer children of all ages. We're just starting out and this website is a work in progress, but we hope you find it useful. Enjoy!

Tommy Haas is one of the top Raider performers out of Millersville over the weekend, claiming second in the javelin with a national-qualifying distance.
The Colonial Relays kicked off with a bang for the Raiders, as senior Johnathan Stiles placed first in the 400-meter hurdles, running 52.13 seconds — the second-fastest time in all of NCAA Division II. The time was a new personal record for the senior.
Redshirt-junior Charles Bowman was close behind, taking second in the event with a time of 52.70. His performance places him ninth in the nation in the event. Bowman finished less than half a second behind his PR in the 400 hurdles. Both athletes earned NCAA-provisional qualifying times.
Stiles and Bowman competed on Saturday in the men's 4x400 meter relay. The team successfully earned first in the meet in 3:10.85 with freshman Stiles, Aaron Arp Jr., sophomore Austin Padmore, and Bowman in the lineup. The finish satisfied the national-qualifying standards in the event.
With this race the team grabbed an NCAA Division II provisional mark, just .33 seconds away from an automatic time and .42 seconds from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) record previously set by SU in the 2014 national championships. This race puts the team at third in the nation at the DII level.
Bowman's weekend was still not over, as he competed in the 110-meter hurdle championships. The consistent Raider continued his streak of impressive finishes, claiming fourth with a time of 14.38 seconds for another national qualifier — his third overall for the weekend.
At Millersville, junior Tommy Haas took second in the javelin with a top throw of 61.27 meters. The mark was a national qualifier. Freshman teammate Josh Herbster placed fifth with a distance of 54.32 meters, earning a conference-provisional mark.
Senior Abby Wagner took third for the Raiders at the Colonial Relays on Saturday with her 11.90-meter triple jump. It was yet another performance that earned NCAA-provisional status. Junior Zarria Williams also continued her impressive season at William and Mary with a first-place finish in the long jump. Her top distance of 5.60 meters was a PSAC-qualifying mark.
The majority of the women's squad traveled to Millersville, as multiple Raiders had national and conference qualifiers.
Sophomore Bella Marchini took first in the 1500 meters with a PSAC-qualifying time of 4:53.25.
Senior Morgan DeFloria stood out once again in the javelin, reaching 44.51 meters on her top throw for another first-place finish. She met national standards for the third-straight meet to open the outdoor season.
The Raiders will next split up once again, as some will compete Thursday and Friday at Kutztown University for the Mondschein Multis. The rest of the team will travel to Bucknell University for the Bison Open.

La Mansión de Bramberģe (; ) es una casa señorial en Bramberģe, parroquia de Glūda, municipio de Jelgava en la región histórica de Zemgale, en Letonia.

Historia
El complejo de la mansión con el parque fue formado a finales del siglo XVI. En 1645 el Duque Jacob Kettler cedió la mansión a su esposa Luisa Carlota, y así la mansión permaneció como propiedad de la corona hasta el principio del siglo XX. Luisa Carlota era de Brandeburgo y así es como la mansión obtuvo su nombre alemán. Inicialmente propiedad del Ducado de Curlandia, tras su disolución pasó a ser propiedad de la corona rusa cuando este Ducado fue anexionado por el Imperio ruso. La actual mansión fue construida después, en torno a 1743. Incluso así es el edificio de piedra más antiguo en el distrito de Jelgava y en los siglos recientes fue reconstruida y destruida varias veces. Algunos edificios de la mansión erigidos en el siglo XVI todavía se hallan en condiciones satisfactorias. A finales del siglo XIX se construyeron puertas de la mansión. En el siglo XX, en la década de 1980 el complejo de la mansión fue renovado. La mansión, anteriormente usada por el municipio y la granja colectiva local, ahora es de propiedad privada.

Understandably, Solskjaer's permanent appointment at Old Trafford went down extremely well with Manchester United supporters who have seen their side transform overnight following the arrival of the Norwegian.
Solskjaer is a former United player with 126 goals in 366 appearances.
Solskajer can begin planning for the future as he looks to win the Premier League with United, which hasn't been English champion since 2013, the past year of Alex Ferguson.
Solskjaer's arrival, after cancelling his contract as coach of Norwegian outfit Molde, was created to restore a feel-good factor at the club, but while results immediately improved - Solskjaer won his first eight games in charge - it was his impact behind the scenes that most impressed Woodward and the Glazers.
"The players who get complacent, they never last at this club anyway", he said.
United return to Premier League action when they host Watford on Saturday afternoon, buoyed by the news that Solskjaer has signed a three-year deal.
But Solskjaer has changed the mood and the landscape at United.
"From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club", said Solskjaer.
The talk of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and their need for a Director of Sport has gone quiet over the last few months, but Manchester United are now in the flawless position to set up a world class structure to support their new full-time manager.
"Now we've given ourselves a great chance to be in the top four, even the top three", said Solskjaer yesterday. "The last few months have been a fantastic experience".
A win for Man United vs Watford would mean they would momentarily regain that fourth spot on the table until Arsenal take on Newcastle United on Monday.
Solskjaer also made history as he handed a debut to youngster Mason Greenwood who at 17 became the youngest ever player to appear for United in the Champions League, taking that particular record from Gerard Pique.
"United is a club that has money, and that has to be spent in a reasonable way", the Red Devils boss told Norwegian media.
He also believes that making people at the club happy has been a key part of Solskjaer's job.
"There is a lot of hard work still to do in the coming months and years to get Man Utd back to where it was before", warned Neville.

Даниель Гарвиц (Харрвиц) (; , Бреслау — , Больцано) — немецкий шахматист; один из сильнейших в Европе в середине XIX века. Шахматный литератор, автор учебника шахматной игры (1862).

Большую часть своей жизни прожил в Лондоне и Париже. В 1846—1860 сыграл 16 матчей; первый из них проиграл Г. Стаунтону (1846; +9 −12 =1); в большинстве партий Стаунтон давал Гарвицу фору (пешку f7 и 1—2 хода вперёд). В 1846 выиграл матчи у Дж. Уокера — 5 : 3, Э. Уильямса — 3 : 2 и Дж. Медли — 11 : 7. В Бреслау сыграл вничью с А. Андерсеном — 5 : 5 (1848).

В 1848—1953 Гарвиц победил К. Майета (1848; +5 −2 =2), Б. Горвица (1849; +7 −6 =2), Уильямса (1852; +7 −0 =3; 1853; +7 −2 =3), Й. Сена (1853; +3 −1 =1), И. Лёвенталя (1853; +11 −10 =10). В 1853—1854 издавал в Лондоне журнале «British Chess Review». Проиграл небольшой матч Андерсену (1858): +1 −3 =3. В матче с П. Морфи (1858) Гарвицу удалось выиграть так называемую предварительную партию, а затем 2 матчевые. Общий счёт матча был, однако, в пользу Морфи (+5 −2 =1); лучшего результата против Морфи не добился ни один шахматист мира.

Игра Гарвица была высоко оценена современниками: «он, бесспорно, принадлежит к числу величайших шахматистов нашего времени. Замечательная оригинальность, чрезвычайная тонкость соображений и быстрота — составляют отличительные черты его таланта» («Шахматный листок» 1858).

Получив наследство после смерти отца поселился в Боцене, где и умер 2 января 1884 года; похоронен на местном еврейском кладбище.

The end of the lever moves much faster than the centre of the lever. If the lever is longer, the speed of its end point will be larger.
The first thing you can do is to increase the length of these levers. Now, it is kind of difficult for this attachment to increase the length because it's limited by the mission that we are trying to solve but generally if you have a lever and this lever rotates, you have one end of the lever moves much faster than the center of the lever. So, if you have a very very long lever, it will rotate very fast at the end of the lever and it will move very fast. This means that it will have a lot of energy and it will hit on the ball very hard. And this will make the whole ball move further and faster. So, what you can do is if you are solving such a problem where you are throwing the ball, you can try to increase the length of these levers with which you are hitting on the ball.


There's so much to get right – and so much that can go wrong. Not to mention multiple deadlines, logistics, budgets, marketing, sponsorships and people to manage.
This is something we've witnessed first-hand taking our mobile coffee bars to hundreds of conferences, events and trade shows each year. But, after running our first ever own-hosted exhibition stand last month, we have a renewed sense of admiration for exhibitors!
We had a very busy couple of days at this year's International Confex, held at Olympia London. It was our first ever exhibition stand as The Barista, where we weren't attending on the behalf of a client.
The events industry has grown massively in recent years, with increases in technology and fewer barriers to entry resulting in an influx of new services and suppliers. From the many event organisers we spoke with, it was reassuring to hear that quality is still the leading priority.
Industry professionals talked to us about their desire to find the best, most reliable, event suppliers around. And in a highly competitive marketplace, this isn't always straightforward.
To us, striving to be the best supplier we can be means delivering quality, consistency and constantly looking for ways to improve the customer experience.
When it comes to quality, we're firm believers that the proof is in the pudding. That's why we arrived armed with talented baristas serving our signature blend, Northern Espresso. This enabled visitors to sample the star of the show for themselves – our freshly prepared speciality coffee.
Another talking point on stand was the introduction of our latest service, SmartServe. SmartServe is a new online platform we're currently developing. It's a way of digitally capturing a visitor's coffee order, while gathering their contact details and even canvassing opinion in the process.
Having the right technology at events can save a huge amount of time and hassle, as well as helping to increase ROI. This is precisely the idea behind SmartServe. We've always delivered a service that goes beyond coffee, providing adding value for our customers – the app is the next logical step.
Psst… Keep your eyes peeled for more information about SmartServe in the coming months!
It was great to see so many familiar faces and catch up with clients. But it was also fantastic meeting plenty of new event professionals. We spent time listening to the challenges they face when finding the right suppliers and talked to them about how our processes make our service reliable and seamless from start to finish.
We've always said that if you're serving coffee at an event, it has to be exceptional. It has to be coffee that reflects the quality of your brand. It's our hope that attending large industry events like Confex will help us reach even more high-quality brands to match our services with.
If we saw you at Confex, say hey! And if you didn't get the chance to speak with us, feel free to get in touch by emailing hello@thebarista.co.uk or calling 0845 257 5900.
We're on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram, where you can follow us for plenty of coffee-related updates and pictures.


Very interesting. Well Ice, never claimed anything was said on this board.
Could have been IRC, could have been E-mail, could have been phone call.
It is intersting that you idea of truth revolves around this board however.
Believe anything that makes you happy.
To me 'personal info' means, eye color, tastes in food,who my parents were.
I gotta download a English to Sanskrit translator someday.
You know, one day we found out how Genny was pulling in Unrest. He would go in and root a mob, and whatever came is what God wanted him to pull.
You people trying to talk about trains, just silly.

He is connected to to his home town of Southend on Sea where his dream of living on the sea front has come true; he is well connected to reality and not changing even though he is a star and connected to his audience via his songs and acting.
He is by his own admission a 'lucky man', but also lucky enough to take the opportunity life has given him which all started after winning the BBC series 'Any Dream Will Do' to take the role of Joseph in the West End in 2007.
This big break came when he was 26-year-old when he won he BBC series 'Any Dream Will Do'.
But as he said he had already been in the business for a few years so knew what was required.
In order to win the title he had to beat 100,000 singers who entered the competition.
Now a decade on from this win, Lee is celebrating - it's 10 years since the BBC One Holby City star won the coveted starring role of Joseph in the 2007 stage revival.
To celebrate Lee is embarking on a yearlong tour – Lee Mead – 10 Years – The Anniversary Tour.
You can catch him when he comes to the Octagon Theatre in Yeovil at 7.30pm on Saturday, September 29.
And what's more this year, Lee had another treat for his fans when he released of a brand new album simply titled Lee Mead – 10 Year Anniversary.
The album features 11 of Lee's favourite tracks that he has performed over the years, amongst which will be show songs Dancing Through Life (Wicked), Hushabye Mountain from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Close Every Door (Joseph), As Long As You're Mine – a duet with Rachel Tucker from Wicked, Bring Him Home (Les Miserables) along with interpretations of some contemporary numbers including Everything, With Or Without You, Leave Right Now, Let Her Down Easy, All Of Me, and Blackbird.
Music has always played a large part in his life.
As a child, when he was six/seven-years-old, he remembers watching his mother do her cleaning and listening to George Michael on a loop as she was a big George Michael fan.
It wasn't until he was 18/19 years-old he became a professional singer.
Recalling his first ever show, Lee said: "I was so nervous.
"It was a home town gig in Southend on Sea (The Palace Theatre)and he theatre holds 1,600 people and it was pretty much sold out.
"I did not think I could go on and do two hours and cover 18 songs.
"I have to do songs which connect to me and therefore they can connect to the audience.
"When you sing a song you want to connect to the audience and be able to understand what you are singing about.
"I really cannot just go out there shout at an audience and sing notes.
"I have to think about what songs I want to sing and what they mean something to me.
"There is a lot of work behind choosing what songs to sing.
"Whatever song I sing be I happy, sad, it should be something I can relate to.
"I was going through a rough period in my life and one of the songs I sung on stage was Fix You by Coldplay.
"As at that time in my life it had something to say and it would have something to say to the audience.
"Another song which is personal to me is All of Me written by John Legend.
As a singer, actor and musical performer, Lee hopes he can still be doing what he loves when he is 60/70 years-old.
Lee is looking forward to coming back to the Octagon.
He said he wasn't originally going to do anything to mark the 10th anniversary but was persuaded to my his family who felt it should be marked.
Tickets for Lee Meads –10 Year Anniversary tour at the Octagon cost £24- £51.

Chemtrails, Clouds of Death (MPG download) (Real Media download) Croft Daily Reports Index Zap Checker 'Gifting' How to Make Orgone Generators
A Potent and Enduring Weapon Against Disinformation
http://educate-yourself.org/dc/disinfoweapon23oct05.shtml
I just put CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH [see links above], on our business website, worldwithoutparasites.com as a free download. Steve Debellefuille, our webmaster at ethericwarriors.com, then graciously added a link to the film to the top of EW's homepage, too. I hope you, reader, will do the same on your website if you have the opportunity and feel it's appropriate.
Here's what I just wrote about the film as an intro on the opening page:
Clifford Carnicom, one of the slicker CIA disinformants on the internet, has been promoting a fake documentary on chemtrails in the past year or so and many incredulous and well-meaning people have been disseminating free copies of it, lately.
I've always been especially irritated by disinformation, especially when otherwise-intelligent people freely disseminate it, so I felt impelled to offer you this wonderful, informative, entertaining and empowering antidote as a free download.
As you may soon see, the longer and boring, substance-free Carnicom film is an insipid, sleep-inducing imitation of the style and content, sans solution and hopeful outcome, of this genuine documentary, CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH.
My wife, Carol, and I invented and made the first orgonite cloudbuster five years ago and our first efforts and all of our fortunes, since then, have been spent on internationally promoting this new, global-healing technology, which actually grew out of our own earlier successful enquiries, combining orgonite with electromedicine to destroy parasites in the body and promote vitality.
Hence our commercial website's name, 'worldwithoutparasites.com,' which we set up after we invented and observed the profoundly powerful effects of
the orgonite cloudbuster. It's important to say that Dr Wilhelm Reich's success with his original cloudbuster in the late 1940s is what inspired this invention and also the intelligent, systematic use of orgonite for planetary and personal healing. Dr Reich also despised parasites, including the two legged ones.
Five years ago, the international chemtrail agenda was approaching its zenith and countless millions of people had become chronically ill from these effective, airborne bioweapons and poisons. We only made our first cloudbuster in order to experiment with weather modification and stopping
political corruption (aim yours at City Hall or the local copshop :wink: and it was only later that someone told us to watch what it instantly does to chemtrails.
When we recognized how powerful and effective these are in eliminating smog and transforming the atmosphere we realized that if enough of these would be distributed we might soon disable the entire chemtrail program and also end the accompanying artificial droughts which had suddenly plagued the planet since the late 1990s due to weather warfare, waged against humanity since Tesla's death by the occult/corporate world order.
Ken Adachi, of educate-yourself.org, started publishing my reports about this, also the free instructions for making a cloudbuster and within a year a couple thousand of these were made by people throughout North America and in Europe and the chemtrail program was essentially finished by then. Before, you may recall, chemtrails quickly spread out to block out the sun and blue sky and flatten healthy cumulus clouds; since the summer of 2002, everwhere we traveled here and abroad, the chemtrails are seen to disappear within minutes and even seconds overhead.
That's when Carnicom and other disinformants started bemoaning the 'unstoppable chemtrails,' by the way, and in my view this was orchestrated in order to glean at least some psychological victories by making people finally notice these 'spiderwebs in the sky' and feel overwhelmed, even though they were disappearing about as rapidly as they were being spewed out.
If it were in my power, I'd attach this header to all disinformation sites like Carnicom's, Rense's and Bell's: "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here!"
This is funny: when Jeff Rense started vigorously attacking orgonite cloudbusters on his popular, syndicated radio talk show for a couple of months almost three years ago, the number of cloudbusters jumped dramatically, then he abruptly stopped mentioning it. I bet those shows are expunged from his archives. Orgonite cloudbusters are entirely harmless, of course, as many thousands of people know, firsthand.
Orgonite cloudbusers instantly transmute dead and deadly energy in the atmosphere into healthy life force, simply stated. The pipes extend the range of this activity very far up and around into the atmosphere, in fact.
All toxic material, whether in the human body or in the oceans, soil and atmosphere exists in a matrix of deadly energy. The traditional science version of orgonite's dyamic is that a healthy environment has an abundance of ions; an unhealthy environment has a deficit of ions. Orgonite ionizes the toxic environment and thus neutralizes and then precipitates the poisonous material that was colloidally suspended in it. This is why smog rapidly disappears, even miles away, when you point a cloudbuster directly at it.
The film I'm offering here can be fairly understood as the state of affairs before the requisite number of orgonite cloudbusters became disseminated and it was DB's good-faith, personal gift to this movement. He learned about orgonite cloudbusters some time after they started producing the documentary, in fact. I want to honor his continued commitment by offering you this film so you can digest it, then distribute it or at least share the link with as many others as you feel is appropriate.
The history of our planet for at least the past six millennia has been a history of exploitation by a few families who have banded together in corrupt secret orders.
Most of what you'll find written about conspiracies on the internet is disinformation, of course: 90% factual information baiting the hook: 10% lies which you're programmed by generations of brainwash protocols, if you're a Europoid or Asian, to swallow.. I'm referring you to another free download, a small book, so that you'll get a piece of genuine, empowering information and I hope to God you'll start examining reality with an open, unprejudiced mind and get real information from books after this, if you haven't started doing that, yet.
If you've been a disempowered but well-intentioned chump for titillating disinfo and charismatic mummery (we've all been where you are, my friend), please read the free download of an outstanding conspiracy primer, NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY, by Gary Allen. The author was murdered in the
1980s but the work remains a standard by which all other research journalism may be measured, in my opinion. Here's the link:
http://reactor-core.org/none-dare.html
CHEMTRAILS: CLOUDS OF DEATH is the film that DB secretly produced in Hollywood, then began freely distributing over three years ago when the
grassroot, unorganized orgonite network was first getting established in the world. I'd love to tell you the name of this good friend of ours but I promised to keep that quiet.
Let me tell you an intriguing but true tale, though, while you're downloading the film, okay? It might help you understand some previously hidden truths which we consider important.
You probably don't personally know me but you'll see that I've developed a good personal reputation over the years if you put 'Don Croft' into a search engine. Please consider what I'm about to relate with an open mind and reserve judgement, belief and denial until you've had a chance to corroborate it or not, okay?
DB was born to a mother who was sold by the Jesuits for $1300 to his Satanist father, who works for the CIA at a high level and was also a US Navy officer. Mother and father are both from Illuminati families and his mom carries the French, Merovingian bloodline that they all cherish and even crave. His father's family have some names that you'd recognize from your history textbooks.
He was born with a very clear pentagram formed by the lines on each palm, which indicates extraordinary, even unlimited psychic potential. He's led him to believe that he was actually bred to be what he later became: an oracle for the Great White Brotherhood.
In that capacity he was rigorously and personally trained after adolescence by one of the dark masters, named Torkum Sassarian, who personally oversaw the creation of the hippie movement and the subsequent newage movement. All of this is based in Theosophical masonry and DB, a natural genius who has boundless energy and enormous talent for metaphysical disciplines, quickly rose to the top, popularly-known levels of several secret organizations, including Scottish Rite masonry, Rosicrucianism and Theosophical masonry.
Until his mid thirties, due to extensive traumatic CIA dissociative programming from infancy, he believed that the Great White Brotherhood held the sole hope for humanity's very survival and it was his job to promote all of the subsidiary organizations and to recruit the unwitting into the newage movement. He was one of Shirley MacLaine's psychic trainers, by the way, and meanwhile his alter, hidden (from him via hypnosis and periodic memory srubbing) self was ruthlessly exploited to help develop and expand the seamy, cynical brainwash protocols that are the foundation of Luciferic, Theosophical metaphysics, which is the wellspring of the hippie and newage movement, of course. Does this help you understand why so many people these days are suckers for
faux-spiritual glamour and 'cosmic debris?'
His masters gave him access, as a very young man, to wealth, extensive formal education and companionship with lovely and submissive females and he appeared often on shows like Oprah, Art Bell's Coast to Coast & Rense's radio show. He wrote and published several books, including one that's still considered a valuable primer for understanding the human body's important subtle energy dynamics and is still sold on Amazon under his co-author's name. Otherwise every record of his existence had been expunged from public record, including the internet, when he sent an introductory email to me in April, 2002.
In that email he only told me that he had an invaluable gift for Carol and I and for the new orgonite movement but that I had to get it from him in person in Pasadena, California.
I traveled there from our home in Northern Idaho a couple of weeks later and we spent a few days getting acquainted. He needed to study my energy field up close and read my mind to make sure I wasn't part of an elaborate setup to take him down and I satisfied my initial curiosity about him and 'checked his credentials,' including the bullet scars on either side of his throat, his 33d degree Scottish Rite ring, some of the books he wrote, pictures of him with the newage gurus that he was previously associated with and the 9mm pistol a CIA relative gave him as a genuine gesture of concern after he was shot. Newagers aren't generally armed.
Six or seven years before we met he had come to understand that the Great White Brotherhood is a satanic organization and that, essentially, everything and everyone he believed passionately in was false. An Illuminati oracle has to be kept from this truth so that his master can send him out into the ethers like a kite to retrieve information that the spiritually degraded master can't access. This retrived information is used by the Great White Brotherhood and it's subsidiaries, including the CIA and British MI6, to create disinformation and thus infiltrate and then corrupt the legitimately progressive movements and
otherwise-discerning, inquisitive individuals in the world.
He began opposing them instead of supporting them and for years his former masters gave him a lot of slack, even allowing him to go on the lecture circuits with conspiracy authors and militia leaders and tell the public what he knew.
Torkum Sassarian had died right before DB woke up, by the way. He showed me a photo of a gathering of newage gurus, with Sassarian in their midst,
taken in 1987 on the grounds of the Masonic Temple in Sedona, Arizona. During that conference they were designing the mind control agenda that would be called, 'the Harmonic Convergence.' Present were DB, Sassarian, Gregg Braden, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Jean Houston, Shirley MacLaine, James Twyman and a dozen other people whose names I didn't recognize, including Goru Adachi, from Japan, whom DB mistakenly assumed was Ken Adachi, who is an Italian guy from Brooklyn.
It was another six years or so before DB consciously realized that this was not a gathering of self-sacrifing beings. He told me that Shirley MacLaine is a very sweet person, though a childhood product of one of the early CIA Monarch Programs. He also told me that Drunvalo was given his job after DB bolted in the mid 90s.
In the late 90s he researched and wrote an illustrated and well-documented expose of the then-new concentration camp and mass execution facility network that is in every state and province of North America and on the morning that he was to take the manuscript to a publisher he was shot through the throat by a CIA sniper and quickly drowned in his own blood in front of his family.
His wife got him to a hospital in time to bring him back from the dead but the hammer came down, then, and he was stripped of his horse ranch in the
mountains above Pasadena, the successful chain of computer stores he established and ran which were employee-owned, and all of his fancy possessions. His bank accounts and other real assets were frozen, of course, because none of that belonged to him; they were just on loan from his masters.
His wife had to go to work to support the family because every time DB applied for a job the FBI visited the prospective employer and claimed he was an incorrigible felon and would likely harm someone or steal from the company.
When I met them they had transformed a rubbish-laden crack house in Pasadena into a comfortable, affordable home and I miss that place, which my wife and I visited several time in the coming year and a half.
Among the array of skilled professions that DB had mastered was film editor for Palomar Studios, during a time that he was in one of his post-graduate programs. During that time he met lots of other talented people in Hollywood and in the summer of '01 he approached some of them with a proposition to secretly make and distribute an expose of the chemtrail agenda. He was no longer under active surveillance by the CIA, FBI and NSA by then. In those days, before the Homeland Security Abomination, two surveillance teams (CIA and FBI) once drew their guns on each other in a grocery store when DB emerged from one of the aisles with his shopping cart :wink:
As I said, when he started the chemtrails expose he hadn't yet learned about the orgonite cloudbuster but strangely, right before that, Carol and I had mercifully left our first and only cloudbuster in Los Angeles, hidden by the freeway leading out of Hollywood.
We had just dropped a lot of orgonite into the most tortured of the natural vortices of coastal Southern California on our way through there to Washington State from Florida in early June. The sight of the dense smog there and witnessing the intense human misery, confusion and hopelessness of the people of LA tweaked our social consciences beyond what we could bear and we were already well aware of how dramatically orgonite transforms destructive emothions and revolutionizes human fortunes so we knew it wasn't a futile gesture.
DB and the other selfless conspirators succeeded in keeping the film project hidden from the predatory, unlawful secret police, who were, by then, omnipresent throughout our once-free country, especially that most thoroughly fascist state, California..
As soon as he emailed me he was thrown back under active surveillance/intimidation again, which is a pain in the butt, I can tell you , but is the quickest way for any of us to personally discover the existence of the blatant treason that has overtaken the United States and several other influential countries in recent decades. At that point the film only needed final editing, which he had started when we met.
Most of this is written up in my extensive reports on educate-yourself.org, of course, including what followed:
By June, 2002 the film was finished and professionally mass produced on unlabeled CDs, which DB's personal, extensive network began mailing out, using the finest spycraft protocols such as hiding it in tool and clothing catalogues, to hundreds of people , including me. Not a single copy reached its destination, so a successful, alternative plan was launched to get it aired in Miami in the middle of the night on a popular commercial station on July 3, 2002. It was hoped that many more TV stations would air the documentary but, instead, each of the people who were involved with making the film were subjected to reprisals by the secret police and their stooges I think that sort of chicanery is called by an oxymoron: criminal justice. Nothing makes the people in this treasonous federal regime angrier than 'crimes against the state,' after all, and you and I call this, 'free speech.'
One producer was arrested after dirty cops in Ojai, California, clumsily planted cocaine in his brother's car, two were suddenly subjected to the worst of treatment by quasi-gov't IRS predators who seized their homes and assets and DB narrowly missed being ambushed by the Los Angeles Police Department after being set up to enter an acquaintance's home.
He paid attention to his intuition that day, thankfully. Instead of going inside he turned and walked away, past a dozen LAPD cops in SWAT gear who
had quietly followed him. He cheerfully told their CIA-affiliated commander, 'Better luck next time!'
A few others in the orgonite network, including Carol and I, survived several murder attempts in the following year and a half but this movement is so widespread and decentralized by now that even the stupidest, meanest secret police and their jackbooted, bloodthirsty cop creatures know that harming any of us will only make this grassroot movement grow even faster and become more consolidated.
What doesn't kill us truly can make us stronger and the murder attempts were the best of all confirmations that we're doing a good job disseminating this empowering information.
The next phase in the development of the orgonite movement, which started right before the film was released, was disabling the millions of new 'death transmitters' that sprang up literally all around the globe in the fall of 2001, right after the feds blew up the WTC and perhaps sealed their own doom. We later found these throughout even the parts of Africa we visited where there are NO cellphones and to this day I cringe every time someone says, 'cell towers.'
DB has been exemplary in this effort, too. He disabled almost ten thousand of these new towers in the Los Angeles area within a couple of years and that's why you don't see smog any more in the movies that have been filmed in Los Angeles since January, 04 and his phenomenally successful personal effort is also a major reason why that part of California is getting plenty of rain for the first time in recorded history.
See: when you toss a 3-ounce bit of crude orgonite within a quarter mile of a death transmitter, the tower turns into a perpetual life force transmitter in about twenty minutes. Thousands of people are spontaneously doing this throughout the world now and if you'll turn resolutely away from the What To Think Network you'll witness their beautiful 3D results where you live and in your travels, as we have, and you may even want to expand and refine the process, yourself. You can sure do that!
Enjoy the film! I'm also privileged to be able to introduce you to this creative genius whom I'm calling DB.

Feds say man fooled them in disability case
The federal government says it mistakenly paid $54,000 to a Washtenaw County man who repeatedly claimed that he didn't get his disability check.
David Lundy has been charged with stealing public money. A criminal complaint says he rightly received $18,000 in 2008 but then went back to the Social Security Administration three more times to insist that he never got the cash.
And each time the government quickly paid him, the last in December 2010. Lundy's home phone is out of service, and The Associated Press couldn't reach him for comment. He hasn't appeared yet in Detroit federal court.
The government says Lundy tried to keep the scheme going. It says he was turned down on his fourth try a year ago when officials knew the checks had been cashed.


Bruno Liance is illustrator, father and music lover. As drawing has always made part of his life, about 20 years ago he decided to become an expert in this field, studying Decorative Arts in Paris. He made some documentaries and youth album projects, but also comics. The childhood world is his daily life. Emotions, reflections, questions...he loves exchanging with this public that has a lot to learn yet, but can already understand everything, without being influenced by habits.


YESTERDAY AT THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA, a TV interviewer asked Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane why "Tax Freedom Day" is so important.
Maybe that's because last year, Americans paid $3.5 trillion in federal taxes and $1.6 trillion in state and local taxes, for a total tax bill of $5.1 trillion, or 31% of national income.
And thanks to our Republican-Controlled Congress, Americans worked the longest—46 days—to pay federal, state, and local individual income taxes. Payroll taxes took 26 days to pay, followed by sales and excise taxes (15 days), corporate income taxes (10 days), and property taxes (10 days). The remaining six days were spent paying estate and inheritance taxes, customs duties, and other taxes.
Meanwhile, our friends at the IRS tell us, the April 17 deadline for filing your federal taxes is for real. No kidding!

Researchers develop algorithm that will allow robots to work together with humans … or hunt us like prey
Wednesday, September 23, 2020 by: Virgilio Marin

(Natural News) Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a novel algorithm that allows robots to better predict where humans are headed. This tool can pave the way for robots working in a structured work setting, such as in factories.
Improved algorithm boosts performance
The researchers collaborated with automobile manufacturer BMW to test ways in which humans and robots can work together in a car assembly line. They made a replica of a factory floor setting and rigged a robot on rails, whose task was to deliver auto parts between work stations. It was programmed to stop for a moment to let a person walk by. But the team observed that the robot would pause long before a person had crossed its path, affecting workplace efficiency.
To solve this problem, they examined the robot's current algorithms, which were drawn from music and speech processing. These algorithms were designed to align two sets of related data, such as an audio track of a musical performance and a scrolling video of that piece's musical notation. Meanwhile, a robot aligns, or compares, fresh data on motion trajectory with previously recorded data in order to make a prediction.
But most of these algorithms only account for the distance traveled by a person, which means they're only reliable when dealing with predictable sets of data. Predicting a person's movement trajectory is more complex because human motions are messy and highly variable. For example, when a person stops on its path for a moment, that delay in time can easily confuse a robot as it only maps motion trajectory by accounting for distance.
Therefore, the team developed a "partial trajectory" algorithm, which combines data on a person's real-time movement trajectory and a library of reference trajectories that were gathered before. This algorithm considers both distance and time.
The researchers tested the new algorithm and found that it was able to provide better estimates compared to previous alignment algorithms. When the algorithm was incorporated into motion predictors, the robot was able to more accurately anticipate when and where a person is headed. For example, it was less prone to freeze in place in a factory floor setting. Instead, it resumed its task shortly after a person crossed its path.
According to the team, the algorithm can also serve as a preprocessing step for other techniques applied in human-robot interaction, such as action recognition and gesture detection. In turn, it can pave the way for robots and humans working together in structured environments, such as a factory floor and a domestic setting.
"The key is that the [robotic] system can observe patterns that occur over and over, so that it can learn something about human behavior," said co-researcher Julie Shah.
Will killer robots take over?
In an opinion column for UNESCO's Courier, arms expert and journalist Vasily Sychev wrote of the threat posed by killer robots. He observed that artificial intelligence has become increasingly ubiquitous in the field of combat. For one, Russia and Japan developed planes manned by human pilots but equipped with elements of AI. These planes autonomously survey the environment or scan the aircraft for signs of damage. But AI can have a more pronounced role in the battlefield, suggested Sychev.
"Its speed of analysis and its ability to learn make AI attractive for combat systems," he wrote. These combat systems operate in a fully autonomous manner – it can identify a target, open fire, move around and choose optimal trajectories, much like a human soldier but without the weaknesses of one. Many experts, including Elon Musk, believe that autonomous weapons run the risk of inflicting widespread damage on both military and civilian populations. (Related: Robot-controlled vehicles could soon be restocking military front lines with ammo, food, fuel.)
Sychev noted that no such combat system has been made so far. Countries have also announced that creating fully autonomous combat systems is not a priority. But he's keeping his eyes peeled: "[Nuclear] weapons – which should never have seen the light of day, and which have faced opposition from the earliest phase of their conception – has nevertheless been well and truly used."

Elounda - Kolokytha - Shaltpans
Explore East Crete : Elounda
A walk around Elounda
Elounda welcomes you with the loveliest view in Crete
Driving from Agios Nikolaos to Elounda, the road runs uphill to the area known at Ellinika or Lenika, which has a wonderful view: a lacy coastline in every shade of blue and turquoise, the large Kolokytha Peninsula embracing Elounda Bay, and the low hills all round sloping gently to the sea.
Elounda is a lucky place; if you hadn't stopped to admire the unique view, you would have driven past the village without stopping, as the best parts can't be seen from the road.
On entering Elounda, the picture is pretty boring: a narrow street where two cars can only just squeeze past each other, and new buildings, colourless and in no particular style of architecture.
The road passes the car park in the centre of Elounda. Behind it is the picturesque little harbour with its fishing boats. Here is the main beach of Elounda and the point where the boats leave for Spinalonga.
Once past the village centre, the route becomes pretty again. We drive along the shore, on a level with the aquamarine waters. The road leads to Driros beach with its pine trees lapped by the waves, and to Plaka and its beach a few kilometres further on.
The picturesque harbour of Elounda
A walk round Elounda should obviously start from its centre, the harbour. Before the luxury hotels sprang up, Elounda was just a typical fishing village, extending no further than this harbour.
The little harbour is still picturesque today. Here all the local fishing boats and other vessels seek refuge, offering typical Mediterranean sea images.
From the harbour, take the narrow coastal road southeast.
Having passed the restaurants and cafes offering romantic gastronomic delights by the sea - leave these for when you get back - follow the narrow street towards the Venetian saltpans and the Kolokytha Peninsula. This is the east beach of Elounda.
The road is only just above sea level, and the shore narrows as you walk along it until it ends in an isthmus connecting Elounda to the Kolokytha Peninsula.
At this point you cross a narrow strip of land, with the calm sea of Elounda spreading on either side of you.
The Elounda saltpans
On your right hand are the Venetian saltpans. Look carefully and you will see the stone walls forming large squares.
The sea water evaporated inside the squares, leaving the salt at the bottom of the pan. The workers stood on the low walls to collect it.
From the 13th century onwards, salt from the Elounda saltpans filled the holds of Venetian trading vessels. Salt, a Venetian monopoly, was a particularly expensive commodity at the time.
Salt was so valuable that it was stored in the Mirabello Fortress in Agios Nikolaos.
The Kolokytha Peninsula
The walk doesn't end at the end of the tarmac road. Cross the small bridge and you are now on the Kolokytha Peninsula, as it is known today. The Venetians called it Spinalonga, like the neighbouring island.
Elounda and the Kolokytha Peninsula, connected to the shore by a narrow isthmus
Kolokytha forms a huge breakwater, keeping the water in Elounda Bay calm. The spot where the little bridge stands is called Poros. In 1897 the French fleet, commanded by Admiral Dupurgé, dug a narrow channel to allow small vessels to enter Elounda harbour without having to sail round the Kolokytha Peninsula.
In ancient times, Poros was the site of the great and powerful city of Οlous (Olounda), which gave its name to modern Elounda.
Archaeological excavations have brought to light the foundations of an Early Christian basilica of the 5th c. AD, large by the standards of the time, with an exceptional mosaic floor.
In the ruins of the basilica was found part of an ancient inscription in the Doric dialect, now on display in Agios Nikolaos Museum, referring to the end of the alliance between Olous and Rhodes.
The excavations in the Elounda area are not yet finished. They are expected to lead to finds which will shed more light on this major ancient city.
Immediately after the bridge, you will be welcomed to Kolokytha by an old windmill, one of the few signs of human intervention here.
The peninsula, which locals also refer to as "Nissi" ("Island"), is 7-8 kilometres long. It is a protected area, which is why there are hardly any buildings here.
Kolokytha is ideal for anyone who likes walking. You can cross it from end to end, or follow the footpath leading to the small beach on the inner side of the peninsula.

Q: Understanding SP.clientContext.executeQueryAsync and the order that it pulls data I have a function that loops through a comma-separated list of email addresses.
Within the loop, we pass some parameters (including the email address) to a 'getUserProperties' function that uses SP.clientContext.
I have stripped back the code within the function to:
getUserProperties = function (targetUser, userCount, parentCtrl) {
var deferred = $.Deferred();
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(clientContext);
var userProfileProperties;
var profilePropertyNames = ["PictureURL", "PreferredName", "SPS-JobTitle", "Department", "WorkPhone", "WorkEmail", "PersonalSpace"];
var userProfilePropertiesForUser = new SP.UserProfiles.UserProfilePropertiesForUser(
    clientContext,
    targetUser,
    profilePropertyNames);
userProfileProperties = peopleManager.getUserProfilePropertiesFor(userProfilePropertiesForUser);

console.log(userProfileProperties);
console.log(userProfilePropertiesForUser);

clientContext.load(userProfilePropertiesForUser);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(function (sender, args) {

    console.log(userProfileProperties);

},function (sender, args) {
   deferred.reject(null);
});

return deferred.promise();

}
My issue in terms of understanding what is going on is that the first console.log(userProfileProperties); displays the data requested to the console log in the same order as in the previous loop function.
This is the same as the console.log(userProfilePropertiesForUser); call.
However, once the clientContext.load and clientContext.executeQueryAsync are called and then the console.log(userProfileProperties); is displayed for the second time the order of the data is different to that in the loop from the previous function.
Thus I would like to know why the data is different to that which is passed into the function, as the clientContext.load and clientContext.executeQueryAsync appear to be affecting it.
Many thanks

A: The first log just output a JavaScript object declaration, the user profile didn't populated yet until you call clientContext.load and clientContext.executeQueryAsync .
Check below screenshots.
