Q: Java OpenGL EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION on glDrawArrays only on NVIDIA I'm working on a game in java using lwjgl and it's OpenGL implementation.
Never had any problems until I exchanged it with a colleague who uses NVIDIA instead of AMD, and suddenly it crashes on a line that works on AMD but it only crashes at that point in the code. That is the weardest part because I use the same method to create the VBOs from .obj-files. I even tried it with the same file but still at that point it crashes on all other occasion not.
Could it be maybe a wrong set flag or something?  I hope somebody here can help.
for (int i = 0; i < material.length; i++) {
  material[i].activate();

  glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
  GL15.glBindBuffer(GL15.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexVBO[i]);
  glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);

  if (normalsEnabled[i]) {
    glEnableClientState(GL_NORMAL_ARRAY);
    GL15.glBindBuffer(GL15.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, normalVBO[i]);
    glNormalPointer(GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);
  }

  if (material[i].getTexture() != null) {
    glEnableClientState(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
    GL15.glBindBuffer(GL15.GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, textureVBO[i]);
    GL11.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, 0);

    GL11.glEnable(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    glDrawArrays(GL11.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, sizeVBO[i]);
    GL11.glDisable(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D);

  } else //CRASHS HERE
    glDrawArrays(GL11.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, sizeVBO[i]);

}

resulting error:

Today's Sports Stat-August 17, 2017
By Jerry Tapp on August 17, 2017 | Leave a comment
Milwaukee Brewers' centerfielder Keon Broxton had a pair of home runs in yesterday's win over Pittsburgh. It was his second career multi-HR game.
What makes Broxton's two HRs interesting is that Broxton was batting eighth in the batting order… he became the 13th player in team history to hit a pair of home runs in a game while batting in the eighth position. It was the first time since Jean Segura had a pair of home runs for the Brewers while batting in the 8th position in a game on June 20, 2014.
A pair of Brewers players, Bill Schroeder and Gorman Thomas, had two HRs while batting in the eighth spot in multiple games. Schroeder did it three times with the Brewers while Thomas did it twice.
Schroeder had four games in his career (three with Milwaukee, one with the Angels) where he hit two HRs in a game while batting eighth. He is one of only 21 players in MLB history to accomplish this feat. Gabby Hartnett holds the MLB record in this stat… he hit two or more home runs while batting eighth in eight different games in his career

Yadier Molina could challenge all-time batting average mark for catchers
By Jerry Tapp on June 21, 2013 | Leave a comment
Sports Stats 'on Tapp' is a sports statistics blog published with a focus on stats that go beyond the numbers.
Yadier Molina (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina through games of June 20 leads the majors with a .366 batting average. This mark is 81 points above Molina's career batting average of .285 and 51 points above his best season when he hit .315 last year. This 2013 MLB season is a little short of being half complete, but Molina could be approaching some historic numbers if he keeps up this pace.
If Molina finishes the season above .350, he would become the ninth catcher in major league history to have a batting average of .350 or higher for a season. But what's even more interesting is what Molina could accomplish if he can raise his average a few points and end the season at .368 or above: If he finishes at .368 or above, he would have the highest batting average for a catcher in a season in baseball history. (Note: This is based on the player playing 50% or more of his games as a catcher and having enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title.)
Here's a look at the catchers who have had the highest single season batting averages in baseball history.
Batting Average, Catcher, Team, Year
.367 Babe Phelps, Brooklyn, 1936
.365 Joe Mauer, Minnesota, 2009
.362 Mike Piazza, Los Angeles, 1997
.362 Bill Dickey, N.Y. Yankees, 1936
.358 Chief Meyers, N.Y Giants, 1912
.357 Mickey Cochrane, Philadelphia A's, 1930
.354 Gabby Hartnett, Chicago Cubs, 1937
.353 Bubbles Hargrave, Cincinnati, 1926
Let's widen the parameters a bit. If we drop the batting average down to .320 or better, Molina would become the 38th catcher to finish the season with a batting average over .320 if he can keep that mark. A catcher batting .320 or above in a season has happened 77 times in baseball history by 37 different players. Mickey Cochrane had the most seasons with a .320 or above batting average with seven. He is followed by Bill Dickey with six, Ernie Lombardi, Joe Mauer and Mike Piazza with five each, and Spud Davis, Gabby Hartnett, Jason Kendall and Ivan Rodriguez with three each.
Since 2000, there have been 11 times when a catcher finished the season with a batting average of .320 or above. So far this season, we have three catchers above .320: Molina, Mauer and Buster Posey.

This is what happens to your social media accounts when you die
Facebook alone reportedly has an astonishing 30 MILLION dead 'users' who continue to exist in cyberspace

Your family may be mourning you, but you still have a presence online (Image: Getty)
When tragedy strikes in the 21st century, a very modern legacy is left behind - your social media accounts.
After 10 years, Facebook alone reportedly has an astonishing 30 million dead 'users' who all had active accounts before they passed away.
According to ABC , 8,000 more Facebook account users die daily and that's before you look at the likes of Twitter and Instagram.
Experts admit that it's not one of the most thought-through components of the social networking revolution .
Because if you think your loved ones can get into your accounts when you're gone, you're mistaken.
There are ways to memorialise you online through some of the networks after your death (File photo)
The privacy laws of companies such as those named above as well as email providers mean no one is allowed to log in as you.
If they try, they may force a shutdown of the account and lose what they were trying to preserve.
If you've ever wondered about what to do before you pass on - or if you're unfortunate enough to lose a loved on, here's a brief guide.
Facebook has arranged for you to choose what you want to happen to your account after you die (Image: Getty)
The largest social network tells users they can say in advance whether they'd like to have their account memorialised or permanently deleted from Facebook in the event of their death.
Facebook has also offered a way for surviving family and friends to head off afterlife issues - by adding a 'legacy contact' who will have limited control of the account should you pass on.
After the legacy contact has posted a final message Facebook makes the profile into a memorial, where friends will not change but messages of sympathy and remembrance can be posted.
Any which are deemed unsuitable can be moderated by the legacy contact.
Twitter allows people to request a shutdown of deceased person's accounts (Image: Getty)
In the event of the death of a Twitter user the company says it can work with a person authorised to act on the behalf of the estate, or with a verified immediate family member of the deceased, to have an account deactivated.
There are also avenues to request the removal of a deceased user's account, which will require you to provide information about the them, a copy of your ID, and copy of the death certificate.
They are clear on one thing, though - they are unable to provide account access to anyone regardless of his or her relationship to the deceased.
Instagram memorialises accounts like Facebook (Image: Instagram)
The pictorial network also memorialises accounts like Facebook, but there are some differences.
Instagram doesn't allow anyone to log into a memorialised account, and they cannot be changed, including changes to likes, followers, tags, posts and comments.
Posts the deceased person shared stay on Instagram and are visible to the audience they were shared with, but memorialised accounts don't appear in public spaces like searches.
Google mail lets you elect to shut down your account automatically after a period of inactivity (Image: Getty)
Gmail, as owned by Google, will allow you to apply to obtain the contents of a deceased person's email.
You can also set it to have an " Inactive Account Manager ," which either shares or delete your account after a set period of inactivity.
Yahoo also lets loved ones apply to close the account provided that they have the necessary documentation.
Apple's iCloud email and iTunes accounts are subject to different rules.
The corporation says : "You agree that your Account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Apple ID or Content within your Account terminate upon your death.
"Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate your Account may be terminated and all Content within your Account deleted."

What others say about James:
From http://thepopcop.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html:
So far we've managed to be strict on our pledge to only write about acts who are from or coming to Scotland - and that's why we wondered how we could get away with writing about JAMES CHADWICK since he ticks neither box.
Then we remembered that in our second ever post on The Pop Cop, while explaining our mission statement a la Jerry Maguire, we wrote: "If we also just happen to stumble across the best song ever that everybody HAS to hear then trust us, we'll find a tenuous Tartan link somewhere, so fear not."
With this in mind, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that Chadwick - a singing, songwriting young man from the Lincolnshire/Cambridgeshire border - contributed to Worried Noodles, a concept compilation album in which all the lyrics were written by Glaswegian artist and Guardian cartoonist David Shrigley. The end result was a track called The Wooden Floor.
Good though it is, it is utterly overshadowed by Chadwick's own beguiling slice of acoustic perfection, The Last One, a song which has brightened our lives immeasurably and is quite simply the reason we are so excited to bring this post to you today.
Hopefully, we had you at "hello".
4 James Chadwick - The Last One
4 James Chadwick - The Wooden Floor
"...the enigmatic James Chadwick...was Centre stage at a lunch time concert set in the beautiful surrounds of Lewes castle, Chadwick's emotion laden lyrics allude to a lifetime of experiences which seem incongruent with his apparent fresh faced youthfulness... Belting out a range of blues and folk Chadwick switches effortlessly between genres and tempos. Both vocally and on guitar... he is technically fantastic" Sussex Express.co.uk 02/08/07
"The time has come when we want a bit of reality and vulnerability and you don't get more real than someone standing up in front of an audience armed with just a voice and an acoustic guitar. When you see someone like James Chadwick who at just nineteen can, during the course of his set, lead the audience through the whole gamut of emotions, you're left in no doubt that you have witnessed genuine talent. Increasingly people want that as part of their own musical experience." Sandman Magazine
"Lovely fully formed songs, rich singing and really sharp guitar playing.
A bit like Nick Drake meets Nic Jones... Great." Karine Polwart
"At Priddy Folk Festival 2006 James Chadwick was the most talked about new name on the scene. His performance was remarked as the most exciting of the weekend and so impressed organizers that they have asked him back again this year." The Old Down Folk Club
James began his set with Nic Jones's 'Flandyke Shore' and it was immediately apparent that James has a real feel for English folk music. The song I enjoyed most was James's 'Walking the Line', in which there is something reminiscent of Jansch in the guitar work. His guitar playing was brilliant and yet not over-elaborate. Paul @ Bournemouth Folk Club
James was in great form last night in the Annexe, he totally engaged the audience and left several of us old cynics feeling very refreshed!!
James is at The Liquid Rooms in Embra tonight,if you can get there ,GO !!! Post on Footstompin.com after Partick gig Feb 06
"Just writing to confirm the success of last nights gig, James far exceeded my expectations and if anything, as good as his cd is, it doesn't do him justice. "
Dave Wyman, The Orange Tree, Loughborough
"... the evening shifted up a gear with the arrival on stage of James Chadwick. Filling the stage with his immense height and calmly voyaging through his own material, James demanded more than simply respect for the quality of his guitar playing. His finger picking style is fast and accurate enough to merit attention, but his voice is just as appealing. Producing a sound from the back of his throat similar to Damien Rice he eluded any Irish folk conceits that might be read into the music with some grittier rhythms and lyrics.
The songs themselves actually worked, with nice transitions and a conciseness that left you wanting more rather than feeling gorged, all of which was backed up by ending the set with a medley including 'Don't worry be happy' and snatches from 'Girls just want to have fun'. " Guitarists at the Loft by Jos Betts @ localsecrets.com
"... a lad I admire greatly myself, he writes brilliant songs." Mike Harding at the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards
"If you missed this guy, may your soul be tormented in Hell for the rest of eternity. For this is the one, the only, James Chadwick. He is the reason I have given up playing guitar. After twenty years playing live on stage I am still crap. This boy has more talent in his little finger than I could attain practicing every day for a hundred years. God! I hope he doesn't take up photography. I might as well slit my wrists and dig my own grave. Breath taking." Mike Da hat (Unity Photographer)
Met James when he and his good lady Sara promoted a show for Martin Grech on the last tour we did. He plays amazing guitar. He's pretty tall. And his songs are beautiful. I'm unsurprisingly predisposed to the more acoustic, less bluesy territory he inhabits, so for me, 'The Last One' and 'The End' do all the things that good songs should. Nick Drake and Elliott Smith probably slag him off over sugary cups of tea, from that great folk club in the sky... Sweet Billy Pilgrim
James Chadwick rounded the evening off with an excellent folk set, wowing the assembled brethren with his uncanny virtuosity. 10/10 ! Portland Arms Gig www.ColonelBastard.com
"James Chadwick's … songs are beautiful and emotional and his talents are becoming increasingly recognized by accomplished musicians and young fans alike." - Folkwit
" .... Peterborough's most-laid back band, three piece The Red Guards" Peterboroughtoday.co.uk
"… a very welcome, intellectual reminder of the serene, calming effect that music can have on anyone." The Herald and Post
" ....... followed by the Red Guards playing a much more relaxed, bluesey set with amazing guitar from the front-man, James." Band of the Year heat 27 April 2005
"… hints of Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith" Gizz Butt (former prodigy guitarist)
"The Red Guards 3 piece dazzled listeners with an eclectic mix of music: from the likes of Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah (through a huge collection of James's own compositions) to the Jimi Hendrix classic, Purple Haze, but each given a distinctive Red Guards 'take'. Band members alternated between guitar, bass, violin, drums and keyboards.
"Do yourself a favour - catch them live at a venue near you soon, they're worth it." Ian Duncan, Maxey Festival
James Chadwick's songs are often melancholy, but rarely gloomy. By the time the cello kicks in on 'Serotonin' I defy any angst-ridden teenager not to be humming "everything's gonna be all right". Siren Music

Prime Minister Modi held an unexpected address to the nation on Wednesday. In the announcement, which critics cite as a 'poll tactic', Modi claimed India now India is in a space 'super league', after successfully testing 'ASAT' or Anti-satellite missile capable of shooting down space satellites made indigenously by nation's ambitious space organization ISRO.
There are certain concerns about how the debris from such tests won't harm the environment or any civilian or military infrastructures around the world. India says it had carried out test in the lower atmosphere so that debris will decay and after few days would fall back harmlessly on earth.
Modi had earlier posted a tweet about his address, without telling what it will be about, fueling rife speculations in Indian media as well as social media channels ranging from big policy change on Pakistan post-Balkot to arrest of popular Indian fugitive, Dawood Ibrahim, hiding in Pakistan's Karachi a claim which Islamabad vehemently denies.
I would be addressing the nation at around 11:45 AM – 12.00 noon with an important message.
India, after successful testing, has become the fourth nation to do so just behind US, Russia and China. The tests, experts say, maybe specifically timed weeks after a daring escalation of tensions between both nuclear-powered neighbors India and Pakistan and also after a veto-vote by China at UN, barring nations from international ban on designated terrorist Masood Azhar who claimed responsibility for militant attack on Indian paramilitary forces in disputed kashmir region, followed by weeks of heightened tensions and dog-fights between the two.
India's primary opposition Congress party president Rahul Gandhi, mocked Modi wishing him "happy world theater day".
Senior Indian journalist Shekhar Gupta, in a tweet proclaimed that India possessing such power was not a unknown fact and called the timing of it as "odd".
While a successful A-SAT launch is a bold strategic move, PM making such a big deal of it personally shows a poll-eve desperation we hadn't yet detected/suspected. It's just a frantic new national security headline as Balakot has faded in a month.
Several opposition leaders jumped into question government and also threatened to go to nation's poll-monitoring body, the Election Commission of India.

Pop/R&B
John and Yoko's son returns with his first album in eight years, a record steeped in baroque piano-bar melodies, foreboding Jon Brion string arrangements, and a palpable sense of empty-bed despair.
You can look at the eight-year gap between Sean Lennon's first and second album two ways. On the one hand, his sporadic output speaks to the luxury and security of belonging to a family whose net worth increases every time "Imagine" comes on the radio. But the other, equally plausible explanation is that Lennon isn't the sort of artist who needs or wants to be in your face all the time, and who feels an ongoing musical career shouldn't be guaranteed by birthright.
While the personal iPod list he revealed recently in Rolling Stone displayed an affinity for Lightning Bolt, Lennon's directed his more brazen, aggressive impulses to other people's projects, be it Cibo Matto, Soulfly, or his mom's noise-rock band IMA. His own music, by contrast, is humble and resigned to a fault. Like his 1998 debut, Into the Sun, Friendly Fire rarely raises its voice above a breezy-listening lilt. However, the new album is noticeably bereft of the pancultural pastiche that marked Into the Sun as a typical late-90s Grand Royal product. In its place are baroque piano-bar melodies, foreboding Jon Brion string arrangements, and a palpable sense of empty-bed despair.
The stately presentation of these 10 songs belies their recurring theme: Being the son of a rock'n'roll legend and an avant-garde matriarch doesn't make your romantic life any easier. The word "love" appears in pretty much every track here, but it's often followed by a well-worn oppositional metaphor-- love is "like a hurricane" and "like the ocean" and "such a dangerous game." (The simplicity of Lennon's sentiments stands in stark relief to Friendly Fire's accompanying DVD of elaborately costumed period-piece videos, featuring Lindsay Lohan, Asia Argento, Carrie Fisher, and much sword-fighting.) Lennon's delivery is as plain as his words; he knows his wispy voice isn't the most powerful instrument and never tries to stretch it beyond its modest parameters, punctuating his most salient points with backing vocalists (including former flame Bijou Phillips) and organ swells. It's a tactic that contributes greatly to the swooning allure of "Parachute", but Friendly Fire's meditations on romance beg for more impassioned performances; catharsis too often takes a back seat to composure. The pervasive soft-rock-seductive ambience serves to create a distance between singer and subject; on the opening invective "Dead Meat", Lennon sounds like he's pouring his spiteful thoughts ("you just messed with the wrong team," "you get what you deserve") into a carefully worded e-mail when he should be growling them in your face.
But encouraging signs emerge in Friendly Fire's closing act, which finds Lennon getting more restless and risky. Though it may be churlish to say that Friendly Fire's best song is its only cover, fact is "Would I Be the One"-- a Marc Bolan obscurity given a wondrous, space-age makeover-- is Lennon's most persuasive showcase, thanks to a gloriously glammed-out guitar solo and a ghostly harmonizing effect that lends his voice a desperation that's too rarely heard on the other songs. And if the closing track tells us something we already know-- that Lennon's "Falling Out of Love"-- its mounting orchestral pressure and laser-beam Moogs force Lennon and his band out of its usual languorous gait and establish a game-plan for the future: less friendly, more fire.

On 6th November 2021 we successfully raised £1,030 with 48 supporters in 10 days
Donate to help the Workers Party of Britain get our candidate Colin Gardner elected in the Gorrell by-election on November 18 2021.
WorkersPartyGB
Supporters 48
The more money the more campaigning we can do, simple as that. But rest assured, no matter how much you can give, Colin and the WP team will give it their best.
Colin Gardner - a Workers Party candidate
"I have lived in Canterbury since 1970, when we moved here from Yorkshire. My father was a head chef in the prison service and my mother a housewife and telephonist.
I have worked in Canterbury and its surrounding areas most of my life as a glazier, painter and decorator, in shops and warehouses and any other job I could find! After attending various night school classes I took an A-level and went on to university. I worked in education for many years before being made redundant. I now work in our family business and we have three grown-up children.
The working class - the group of workers who must sell their labour to survive - is the largest class. I joined The Workers Party of Britain because it represents the worker and rejects false notions about class designed only to divide and rule. Our goal as workers is a common one: peace and prosperity for all; a good life for all is within our grasp.
Locally, I'm fighting for: free public transport for children all year round; free school meals using locally sourced produce; provision of free childcare and youth recreational facilities; development of sustainable industries to provide a range of skilled jobs to meet the needs of workers and communities rather than profiteers; truly affordable housing that is architecturally significant, modern, light and airy, sustainable and in developments on a human scale; protection for our built heritage and the natural environment."
P.S. The technical bit...
All donations will go to the Workers Party of Britain to help our campaign for the Gorrell by-election.
We're required to run permissibility checks on donations over £500. These will be completed as pledges are made. For the same reason, we cannot accept anonymous donations over £500.
If you make multiple donations to us, they may be aggregated for our reporting purposes.
Your details will appear in our election returns if valued over £500, and if you donate over £7500 your identity will appear on the Electoral Commission website.

MMA in New York this year? Don't count on it
A two-week deadlock in the New York senate has put MMA on the ropes.
The last day of the legislative body's 2009 session ended Monday, stranding several bills under consideration including one to legalize MMA in the Empire State.
Governor David Patterson on Sunday called a special session for the Senate to break a stalemate brought by a shift in party lines. Democrats have refused to participate in session since two members of its party sided with Republicans in a leadership vote, giving the GOP control of the Senate. Last week, one Democrat returned to the fold, leaving the chamber in a tie.
Lawmakers are due to vote on a budget for New York City, same-sex marriage, and a sales tax hike, among others.
Senate bill S2165A, proposed as a law to amend the state's current regulation of boxing, sparring, and wrestling, remains in the Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation committee where it was first referred in April. The bill was scheduled for a vote the day after the legislative turmoil broke out on June 8.
Sarah Crean, a staffer with Cultural Affairs chair Sen. Jose M. Serrano, said the current legislative environment made the prospect of the MMA bill's passage grim.
"Given what's going on, probably all they're going to be looking at is financing and very urgent bills," said Crean. "What looks like is going to happen (to the MMA bill) is it's going to have to go through the process again in our committee next year when session starts again."
The next legislative session begins in January 2010.
Even if the bill passes the Cultural committee during the emergency session, it will then have to go to the Ways and Means and Rules committees before receiving a vote on the Senate floor.
UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner declined comment until he received more information from Global Strategy Group, the lobbying firm that represents the promotion's interests in New York. Senator Joe Griffo, the bill's sponsor, was unavailable for comment.

Gwyneth Paltrow talks Goop criticism and customer data privacy
Paltrow discusses Goop and data privacy.
By Brenda Stolyar on February 5, 2020
Queen of wellness, Gwyneth Paltrow. Credit: Adam Rose / Netflix
I will admit I've never been a fan of Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle and wellness site that doubles as an online marketplace for the ultra rich. Though I grew up as a huge fan of her '90s movies, I rolled my eyes at the overpriced products and weird health tips she endorsed on her site.
But when I received an email on Monday at 11 a.m. offering the opportunity to interview the one and only "queen of all things wellness" later that night — Paltrow was in town to speak on a panel promoting the launch of the Jerusalem Venture Partners International Cyber Center — you better believe I took it.
Once Paltrow and I settled on the couch to chat, I started off by asking her about protecting the privacy and data of the customers on her site. Yes, she explained that Goop only takes data users want to provide and that it's not in the business of breaching anyone's privacy.
But, rather than try to spin a narrative where data is this amazing opportunity to cater to readers, Paltrow was genuine about how someone in her position might feel.
"It's really scary to me because I don't want to think about the accessibility everyone has to data. So you have to find an ethical equilibrium on it," she said.
"It's really scary to me because I don't want to think about the accessibility everyone has to data. You have to find an ethical equilibrium on it."
It was when I asked about Goop's role in disseminating questionable health advice in the era of fake news that the light and airy mood shifted just a bit. And let's just say she went into a bit of mama bear mode...in the most Gwyneth Paltrow kind of way, of course. She remained calm and poised, though I couldn't help but feel there was a slight hint of "Can everyone back off my site?!" to her tone.
"We think that that's all clickbait and bullshit. People are able to criticize us now in opportunistic ways," Paltrow said, adding that she thinks "it's a cheap and easy way to try and drive traffic to these [news] sites."
Paltrow was also quick to say that Goop doesn't "dole out any advice."
"I think there's a lot happening in the media right now in terms of trying to say we give health advice," she said. However, a quick Google search of Goop gives you the following description in its results:
Perhaps Goop should consider changing its description. Credit: brenda stolyar/mashable
The defensive response is understandable, though. I mean, Goop has grown a lot throughout the years (and lawsuits).
What originally started out as a newsletter has expanded into a one-stop shop to help you curate an all-around better lifestyle. Sure, it might be for a certain kind of crowd (like the type that can afford a $259 meditation pillow set or $90 cake stand), but Goop covers it all: beauty tips, recipes, gift guides, etc.
While the site has increased, criticism for it has as well — with good reason, given the topics that Goop has covered.
Should we start with that time in 2015 when she recommended women steam-clean their vaginas? Or, in 2017, when she took it a step further by suggesting women should also try shoving a Jade Egg up there, too? Speaking of which, Gwyneth had to pay $145,000 in settlements over those eggs because her site's claims were not backed by science.
Oh, and there was also that time in 2018 when Goop published an article that claimed shooting coffee up your butt using an enema device could help relieve a lot of symptoms.
Not only did some of these practices sound absolutely wild to those of us who believe in science, but, by that point, it was expected that health experts would quickly debunk any of her site's supported practices and claims as safe — forget about whether or not they actually worked.
"We don't dole out any advice. I think there's a lot happening in the media right now in terms of trying to say we give health advice."
Thankfully, Goop eventually hired a fact checker.
"I think there's a lot happening in the media right now, in terms of trying to say we give health advice," Paltrow explained. "Or, they use the word pseudo-scientific, which drives me crazy because pseudo-science is saying: 'This pillow will fix your back pain.' And we don't do that. If we're interested in something, we'll get an expert opinion and do a Q&A."
While it didn't occur to me right then and there, I think she was probably referring to criticism from the UK's National Health Service, which labeled her new Netflix series, The Goop Lab, a "health risk."
SEE ALSO: Gwyneth Paltrow's 'The Goop Lab' is a glossy infomercial for woo-woo wellness
But Paltrow believes Goop's readers are capable of making up their own minds.
"Some of the things we talk about on Goop might be an emerging modality and that doesn't mean that it doesn't have value. It might just mean it doesn't have a double-blind study behind it, but it may be making people feel better and closer to themselves," Paltrow said.
Update, 2/5 9:45 am ET: This post has been edited throughout to highlight skepticism around Goop's health claims.

Los Angeles is the world's capital of creativity, and its status as a high-tech hub is on the rise. In recent years, a bioscience industry has come alive, energizing the region's economy by generating thousands of high-paying jobs. Bioscience companies require buy-in from research institutions that give the future's brightest minds the freedom to innovate at all levels within a given team environment. The rewards are obvious: an improved local economy and an advanced quality of life.
Last year, California was home to 3,249 biotech and life sciences companies, 209 more than in 2016, according to a study from PricewaterhouseCoopers. These companies are responsible for nearly 300,000 life sciences jobs in the state, with more than 58,000 in Los Angeles County. Employees earn an average annual salary of $113,000. Each biotech job creates four to five ancillary jobs at various levels.
The positive momentum will continue as the National Institutes of Health received a $2 billion bump in its budget last month, boosting it to $39 billion overall. California received $3.9 billion in NIH grants last year, according to Bloomberg, and is well-positioned to capitalize on the new funding. For Californians, opportunities abound: more purposeful jobs, more tax revenue from growing businesses and more ground-breaking discoveries leading to better lives.
The Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, or LA BioMed, has received more than $230 million in funding from the NIH and other federal agencies over the past decade with 27 awards totaling more than $13.6 million coming in just this year. And with a bigger bucket of potential funding, more opportunities for local bioscience companies to develop to their full potential will arise.
LA BioMed has a 66-year track record of bringing bioscience innovations to market, having also spun off 13 companies over the last decade. Several of these are advancing innovative medical devices and therapies that are conducting phase II and phase III clinical trials, with FDA approval completed or anticipated. LA BioMed currently supports more than 100 principal investigators who are working on more than 600 research studies. Recently, it incubated companies like Emmaus Medical Inc., which this year started selling an oral treatment for sickle cell disease. And the innovation of LA Biomed is part of the health care legacy: Paramedic training and the nurse practitioner profession have their roots in LA BioMed.
The company also sponsored an Innovation Showcase in Manhattan Beach in September where 32 life sciences startups were selected by a panel of industry experts to present their technologies, demonstrating the breadth of the bioscience sector in Southern California. The showcase included companies such as Cactus Medical, which is developing a better diagnostic tool for ear infections; Veriskin Inc., which makes a handheld tool that screens for skin cancer; and BasePaws, the first company to develop a consumer DNA test for cats.

International Brent crude oil futures were at $63.39 per barrel at 0747 GMT.
SINGAPORE: Oil bounced by more than 1 per cent on Wednesday to claw back some of the previous day's 6-per cent plunge, lifted by a report of an unexpected decline in US commercial crude inventories and record Indian crude imports.
International Brent crude oil futures were at $63.39 per barrel at 0747 GMT, up $86 per barrel, or 1.4 per cent, from their last close.
US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures, were up 90 cents, or 1.7 per cent, at $54.33 a barrel.
Wednesday's rebound came after a report by the American Petroleum Institute late on Tuesday that US commercial crude inventories last week fell unexpectedly by 1.5 million barrels, to 439.2 million, in the week to Nov. 16.
Yet Wednesday's bounce did little to reverse overall market weakness, which saw crude tumble by more than 6 per cent the previous session amid a selloff in global stock markets.
US investment bank Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday the renewed price collapse reflected "concerns over excess supply in 2019... (and) a broader cross-commodity and cross-asset sell-off as growth concerns continue to mount".
"We would anticipate further weakness until the reaction from OPEC+ (Dec. 6) and the G20 summit is clearer (Nov. 30/Dec. 1)," said Ashley Kelty, oil analyst at investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald Europe.
Despite an expectation of OPEC-led cuts, Brent and WTI prices have slumped by 28 and 30 per cent respectively since early October, and the entire structure of the forward price curve has changed.
"A recovery in prices will ... require that the Brent forward curve returns into backwardation from its sudden and significant flattening," Goldman said.
James Mick, energy portfolio manager with US investment firm Tortoise, said "part of the supply issue has been surging US production".
US crude oil output has jumped by almost a quarter this year, to a record 11.7 million bpd largely because of a surge in shale output.

In honor of this weekend's The Simpsons Movie, a quote from the inestimable Homer J. Simpson that brings the stupidity of racial stereotypes into clear focus: "Ever notice how white people have names like Lenny, but black people have names like Carl?" And on the polar opposite side of the spectrum is Who's Your Caddy?, a fiasco that never met a crass stereotype it didn't milk for lowest-common-denominator laughs. But don't count on laughing. Don Michael Paul's film is the latest in a string of urban comedies whose sole idea of humor is cool African-Americans sticking it to goofy, racist Caucasians, the former here embodied by Outkast's Big Boi as a rapper named C-Note looking to join an exclusionary golf and polo club, and the latter personified by Jeffrey Jones's prejudiced club president Cummings. Look out WASP sensibilities, it's an invasion of music video hoochies and golf carts equipped with 18-inch rims and nitrous! As must already be clear, the less said about the inane, clichéd plot, the better. And the same goes for the film's tense white-black dynamic, in which C-Note and his buffoonish crew's crude behavior—which wouldn't be tolerated at Chuck E. Cheese—is not only celebrated, but cast as beyond reproach, since only a one-dimensional bigot like Cummings (or Big Boi's perfunctory mom) might disapprove of the rapper's tasteless vulgarity and misogyny. Anyway, C-Note can't be criticized for being an obnoxious low-life—he's a graduate of Dartmouth, where he played lacrosse! One might say that, by stacking the deck and casting all opposition to C-Note and company's antics as racist, Who's Your Caddy? exhibits a startling lack of self-criticism (as well as some thoroughly skewed values). But according to the film, that would probably also make one a racist like Cummings, and that's not good, because racists like Cummings inevitably wind up with their faces in horseshit, and their crotches punched by midgets.

Time for IT
"I will not lecture you on information technologies, because there is more information in my pocket than you will ever manage to write down," the professor reaches into his pocket and takes out a flash memory stick. That's the way professor Vladimir Grabaurov, the head of the Economic IT department of Belarusian State Economic University normally starts his courses of lectures. That's the way to think about IT for the man who is supposed to train the elite managers of the future
Business Embraced
Professor Grabaurov is certain lectures on paper belong to history, and it is only due to the lack of technologies that some teachers and professors have to dictate. These archaic methods have almost been done away with at the Economic IT department of one of the most prestigious educational establishments of the country. In 2010 the first Belarusian economists-IT specialists will graduate to become the first Belarusian representatives of the information era. Belarus has been in need of such specialists for some time now, for the information era is not a domain of science fiction anymore. According to Vladimir Grabaurov, the new epoch started in 1991, when the cost of steel for the first time was below the cost of chips that are made from sand. "Knowledge became more precious than raw materials, and it is getting more and more expensive," the professor says. On the diagram of the future that the department head shows me the share of intellect in the world gross domestic product rises in geometrical progression. The GDP curve rockets in the next 100 years, leaving the modest figures of the XX century behind.
According to the professor, it is essential to be able to use universal means of communications in the XXI century. The two golden keys that open the way to the world are the English language and the Internet. "In the West they say "Earlier, people were striking a deal shaking hands, now they conduct business embraced."
Internet resources have brought closer world traders, Vladimir Grabaurov says.
The chairman of the Minsk Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers, Vladimir Koryagin, is perfectly aware of the nature of modern business. "Look at the e-mail I have just received," he tells me handing the printed letter from an Indian corporation that makes electrical appliances. The corporation with an annual turnover of $300 million is one of the fast-growing companies in India, has 51 offices in foreign countries and makes a range of goods compatible with international standards. An e-mail is a perfect way to "infiltrate" in a country where you wish to find a business partner.
"I get several laconic and professional messages like this from around the world every day. Globalization has covered the world like a wave, and you see it on your screen. Belarusian companies must learn how to use modern instruments in order to struggle for new markets," Vladimir Karyagin believes.
The technical director of Minsk Tractor Plant, Leonid Krupets, is of the same opinion. According to him, the companies that fail to introduce IT are bound to lose in the long run.
The specialist referred not only to the use of Internet-resources, but also to modern corporate information systems. The tractor plant is one of Belarus' leaders in terms of IT promotion. The plant has over 1,300 computers. The corporate information system covers finance, marketing, quality management, assembling facilities, stocks and personnel.
Over the past 20 years the range of components the plant makes has risen 15 times to 150,000 units, but the staff remained unchanged, in other words, the Belarusian tractor got much more "intellectual". Specialists call on other Belarusian producers to use the experience of the company that accounts for 8% of the world market of wheeled tractors.
Computer Government
Globalization impacts not only separate productions, but also more general managerial bodies, even the state system. The government is to make the rules of the game effective to make the market "playable" for all, so there is no way the state will stand aside and neglect the computer reform. The authorities of the country need to make a large step forward, if not run, to keep pace with the latest world tendencies. One of the primary moves is to simplify paperwork, says Fyodor Fitsner, the director of a company that deals in sales of office equipment. All documents can be drafted, signed and submitted in the electronic form, and Belarus possesses enough technical means to carry out the reform, even the equipment "made in Belarus"… Electronic consignment notes, invoices and other types of documents will help cut paper imports and save the key asset of any business — time," Fyodor Fitsner believes.
Time-saving in all procedures — from registration of companies to tax returns — is one of the main priorities for the government of the country. The program "Electronic Belarus" aims to optimize the work of the governing agencies. The government approved a new version of the national project for the period until 2010.

Q: In 'screen' (linux utility) windows, where is the .bash_history of individual windows? I am using the linux-utility 'screen' (I mean the terminal multiplexer).
In each "window" of screen, I am running bash.
But these bashes do not seem to have any command history.
For example, if I type this in of the bashes within screen:
[gojira@cray]$ date

Mon Jun  6 17:50:51 JST 2011

[gojira@cray]$ grep date ~/.bash_history

[gojira@cray]$

So ./bash_history simply seems to be empty.
Where is the history for each bash within screen stored?

A: The history is saved to $HISTFILE (default ~/.bash_history). If this variable is empty, no history file will be created. The history is saved when the shell is exited, not before.
To test whether your history has been enabled or not, run:
echo "$HISTFILE"

A: History is only flushed to file when the shell exits.
Try the history bash built-in for access to more recent command history.

A: You might want to add shopt -s histappend to your .bashrc.
This will append the content of your terminal history to your .bash_history on exit.
Otherwise .bash_history will be overwritten on exit. This means that you may loose some of your command history if you're using multiple bash shells at once and close them.

Чжань Цзыця́нь (; работал во 2-й пол. VI века) — китайский художник.

Чжань Цзыцянь был прославленным художником, работавшим во время кратковременной империи Суй (581—618), которая была недолгой интерлюдией перед установлением империи Тан. При первом суйском императоре, Вэнь-ди (581—604), население страны удвоилось — таков был самый положительный результат перехода от феодальной раздробленности и бесконечных междоусобиц к управлению из единого центра. Второй император, Ян-ди (604—618), затеял грандиозные проекты — строительство новой столицы, Лояна, и Великого канала, связывающего реки севера и юга Китая. Однако необузданная растрата людских и материальных ресурсов подорвала экономику, и укоротила время его правления.

Чжань Цзыцянь происходил из аристократической семьи, и получил хорошее образование. Прибыв в столицу империи из провинции, он поступил на чиновную службу, увлекся живописью, и вскоре оказался в фаворе у императора Вэнь-ди. Согласно сообщениям старинных трактатов, художник был очень разносторонним, работал во всех жанрах, и во всех форматах — от небольших свитков до росписей стен. Часто темами его живописи были сюжеты из буддийских и даосских притч. Он писал архитектурные сооружения, человеческие фигуры, животных (традиция утверждает, что особенно искусен он был в изображении лошадей), и жанровые сцены, но более всего блистал в пейзаже.

В трактатах перечисляются многие произведения Чжань Цзыцяня, но они не сохранились. Единственная картина, которую сегодня связывают с его именем — «Весенняя прогулка» (Пекин, Гугун). Это великолепный образец «сине-зеленого пейзажа», на котором изображены отдаленные горы с аристократической усадьбой, река, и компания, переправляющаяся с одного берега на другой. Однако кроме сюжета в картине есть настроение — цветущие сливы создают ощущение ранней весны и пробудившейся природы. В ней использованы не только голубые и изумрудные тона, но и золото, которым прописаны горы (этот прием часто использовал Ли Сысюнь, и художники его семьи).

Подобно большинству старинных произведений, картина проблематична, и не имеет окончательно установленной атрибуции. Поскольку это, по всей вероятности, не оригинал, а копия, созданная в эпоху Сун (960—1290), многие эксперты подозревают, что её красота есть следствие добавлений сунских художников — в эпоху Сун аристократичный сине-зеленый пейзаж был чрезвычайно популярен. Некоторые вообще полагают, что это копия с работы Ли Сысюня. Так или иначе, но китайская традиция считает пейзаж работой Чжань Цзыцяня, и кроме того, это превосходный образец ранней китайской живописи.

Кроме этой, самой известной работы художника, в критическом реестре китайской живописи, составленном Джеймсом Кэхиллом, числятся всего два произведения Чжань Цзыцяня: "Изучающие классиков" (альбомный лист, тушь и краски; Гугун, Тайбэй) - изображение учёных, штудирующих конфуцианский канон, и свиток с изображением "Пейзажа".

Consumption dominates chemical demand. Chapter 7 of our new 'Boom, Gloom and the New Normal' eBook therefore looks at the changes taking place in consumer markets. These provide vital insight into how chemical markets are likely to develop in the New Normal.
The key learning is that companies are re-adapting their business models. The great companies of tomorrow will build their businesses by providing products that are of genuine benefit to society.
•	Procter & Gamble, the world's largest consumer products company, is now following a 'white space' strategy to reposition itself for future growth.
•	We also look at the lessons to be learnt from the launch by India's Tata Motors of the world's cheapest car, the Nano.
•	Plus we highlight the new business and technical innovation models being successfully developed by the Bill Gates-funded Meningitis Vaccine Project in sub-Saharan Africa.
All three examples highlight the opportunity for companies to grow sustainably and profitably as we enter the New Normal. They also support the new concept of Shared Value developed by Professor Michael Porter.
"Firms have focused on enticing consumers to buy more and more of their products. Facing growing competition and shorter-term performance measures from shareholders, managers resorted to waves of restructuring, personnel reductions and relocating to lower-cost regions, while leveraging balance sheets to return capital to investors.
We argue that doing nothing, and hoping that yesterday consumer-led boom will reappear, is no longer the low-risk option for companies, as profits and growth levels slip.
'Who dares wins' might instead be a good motto to post on every boardroom wall. This, after all, is how today's great companies built their franchises in the past, through world wars, depressions and many other equally uncertain times.

David Lewelyn Wark Griffith (Crestwood (Oldham County, Kentucky), 22 januari 1875 – Hollywood (Californië), 23 juli 1948) was een Amerikaans filmregisseur, waarschijnlijk het best bekend door zijn film The Birth of a Nation. Hij staat over het algemeen bekend als D.W. Griffith.

Leven
Hij werd geboren als zoon van een kolonel uit de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog die vocht aan de kant van het Zuiden. Zijn vader stierf toen hij tien jaar oud was en Griffith moest werk zoeken in Louisville. Na een aantal teleurstellende baantjes ging hij op tournee met toneelgezelschappen die melodrama's speelden.

Hij begon zijn loopbaan als een veelbelovend toneelschrijver en verkocht een stuk voor 1000 dollar. Hij verhuisde naar New York, maar mislukte. Daarna werd hij acteur. Hij vond zijn weg naar de jonge filmwereld van de photoplays en begon al snel te regisseren. Tussen 1907 en 1913 maakte hij voor de Biograph Company 450 korte films. Zijn film In Old California uit 1910 is de allereerste film die werd opgenomen in Hollywood.

Door deze grote productie kreeg Griffith de mogelijkheid te experimenteren met cross-cutting, camerabewegingen als long shot, mid-shot en close-up en andere methodes van manipulatie, zoals heen en weer springen in tijd en ruimte. In 1911 maakte hij Enoch Arden, de eerste langere speelfilm op twee rollen. In 1913 kreeg hij moeilijkheden met zijn film Judith Bethulia op vier rollen, die Biograph te lang vond en niet wilde distribueren.

Griffith was ervan overtuigd dat langere films financieel een succes zouden worden. Daarom werd hij medeoprichter van Triangle (1915), die The Birth of a Nation produceerde naar het boek The Clansmen (1905) van Thomas Dixon. Deze film werd deels met zijn eigen geld gefinancierd en bracht 60 miljoen dollar op. Nadat hij veel kritiek gekregen had op deze film, bracht hij Intolerance uit, maar deze film flopte. Het bedrijf ging failliet in 1917 en Griffith ging aan het werk bij Artcraft (deel van Paramount) en later bij First National (1919-1920). In dezelfde tijd was hij medeoprichter van United Artists met Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford en Douglas Fairbanks.

Controversieel figuur

Griffith was een controversieel figuur. De film The Birth of a Nation was enorm populair toen hij werd uitgebracht in 1915: 25 miljoen Amerikanen zagen deze speelfilm. Voor velen was het de eerste film die ze zagen. Maar de film was ook een startpunt voor de opnieuw groeiende populariteit van de Ku Klux Klan in de Verenigde Staten. Tegenwoordig wordt de film hemelhoog geprezen vanwege de filmische kwaliteit en de stimulans voor de filmkunst maar verfoeid vanwege het onverholen racisme. Griffith kon zich enigszins beroepen op de geschiedwerken uit die periode, onder andere A history of the American People van de latere president Woodrow Wilson. Deze gaven een misleidend beeld van de periode van de Reconstructie waarin The Birth of a nation speelt.

Betekenis
Griffith wordt soms ook wel de vader van de beeldtechniek genoemd. Deskundigen zijn het erover eens dat vrijwel geen van Griffiths verbeteringen origineel zijn, maar toch wordt hij gezien als pionier in de ontwikkeling van de beeldtaal. Hij heeft mise-en-scène en specifieke technieken voor filmediting ingebracht. Toch gebruikte hij nog veel elementen van de vroegere stijl van filmmaken van voor het klassieke Hollywood continuïteitssysteem. Deze technieken zijn onder meer frontal staging, overdreven gebaren, weinig camerabeweging en geen point of view beelden. Zijn cameraman Billy Bitzer heeft hier ongetwijfeld ook aan bijgedragen.

THE RNMV IN A NUTSHELL
THE MOUNT SINGER TRAILS ARE PART OF THE RÉSERVE NATURELLE DES MONTAGNES-VERTES (RNMV), WHICH COVERS MORE THAN 74 KM2.
At the heart of a protected territory home to several hundred wildlife and plant species, 20.5 km of trails are open to the public since 2008 in the Singer sector of the nature reserve. They are part of a global network of 135 km of trails accessible to all, from occasional walkers to the most seasoned hikers. The RNMV includes some of the highest peaks in southern Quebec, including the Round Top crowning the area with its 952 meters, as well as Mount Gagnon reaching 850 m and Mount Singer 805 m.
Interestingly, the RNMV is home to 12 plant species at risk and 8 wildlife species at risk in Quebec or Canada. These species greatly benefit from the perpetual protection status of habitats in the reserve, which will contribute to maintain or even increase their populations.
Trails on other parts of the RNMV are managed by Sentiers de l'Estrie and Parc d'environnement naturel de Sutton
HAPPY HIKING AND THANK YOU FOR HELPING US PROTECT THIS NATURAL MARVEL!
Initiated in 2001 by the Ruiter Valley Land Trust – an Affiliate of Appalachian Corridor – and the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), the RNMV comprises two-thirds of the Sutton Mountain Range and is one of the largest private conservation area in Quebec. A critical link within the majestic Appalachian Range extending from the Gaspé Peninsula to the state of Georgia, the RNMV belongs to the natural linkage connecting the Sutton Mountain Range to the Green Mountains of Vermont.
ACCESS, AWARENESS & PROTECTION
Thanks to the financial contribution of the Fondation Hydro-Québec pour l'environnement, Appalachian Corridor developed a strategy aimed at improving public access to this exceptional protected area, while offering a range of uses compatible with the long term conservation of its more sensitive features.
In the summer of 2011, new trails were added in the Singer sector; they welcomed hikers in the fall of the same year. These trails opened up opportunities to experience the ecological wealth of this protected area, adding new options to the existing trail network and providing access to a new suite of ecosystems.
In 2015, the RNMV grew even stronger with new protected territories extending over the Dos d'Orignal and northwestern side of Mount Gagnon. Over the years, a number of protected areas were added to the expanding RNMV.
GREEN MOUNTAINS CRITICAL LINKAGE
The RNMV is at the heart of the majestic 2400-km long Appalachian Range, which ranges from the Gaspé Peninsula to the south-eastern United States. The ecological importance of this territory has attracted the attention and efforts of many stakeholders in the field of conservation over the last twenty years.
Ecologists, biologists, nature lovers and conservationists joined forces to safeguard this hotspot of biodiversity.

An Estate Appraisal is required to determine the value of all Tangible Assets at the time of the decedent's death. In other words, the appraiser has to research for what prices would have been at that time. The appraisal has to specifically state that the values given are as of the date of death of the estate's owner. Furniture, antiques, collectibles, silverware, china, crystal, fine arts, automobiles and any other items of personal property are inventoried, photographed & evaluated for appraisal value. Condition and demand for items influence the appraised values. Again, these values must be determined as of the date of death of the owner of the estate.

Lt.Col.Thileepan – The journey of his sacrifice.
by TYO UKupdated on September 26, 2020 September 17, 2020
Tenth Day -24th Sept 1987
The Journey of his sacrifice.
If any of us were to lose someone close to us in front of our eyes, sadness will take over us. Our eyes would shed tears. However, if any one of them are slowly withering away day by day, we would be pushed to the boundaries of sorrow. We would be fed up of life itself. There will not be any tears left to cry.
But when one of them refuses to drink even a sip of water for ten days in front of our eyes the sadness that fills our heart is indescribable. It cannot be expressed by words. It is extremely cruel. Only those that have experienced it will understand.
India is the largest democracy and a powerful country. A country which considers Gandhi as one of its national heroes because of his non-violent protests and hunger strikes. Thileepan Anna wanted answers and justice from this land. Hence why he started the hunger strike.
However, Thileepan Anna's state today caused all hope to be lost. Even if a good decision was to be reached it is questionable as to whether Thileepan Anna could be saved. Is this the price for human justice? It was understood that they had plotted to let Thileepan Anna die.
Yesterday, Thileepan Anna's hands and legs managed to move slightly but today they were too weak. He was managing to inhale deeply. His eyes appeared highly pierced. His body had started to turn blue.
Pulse rate: 52
Blood pressure: 80/50
Every vital was much lower than that of an average human being. Now anything could happen to Thileepan Anna at any moment.
That day when Thileepan Anna asked to see Kittu Anna. Was it for this? Knowing that the Indian government was not going to fulfil his demands he spoke as if he was a prophet: "I will definitely die…even after death I will join my friends in the skies….I will watch Tamil Eelam blossom…" Today, these words would not have been forgotten by the thousands of people.
Kittu Anna and Thileepan Anna shared a special bond. They both worked tirelessly to uplift the people in the Jaffna district. Thileepan Anna and Kittu Anna were great treasures to the Tamileelam freedom struggle. Thileepan Anna's wish to see Kittu Anna may go unfulfilled from the way things are appearing today. When Kittu Anna comes to know of Thileepan Anna's wish, he would be immensely saddened and to think about it just brings rage against the world.
This afternoon a supporter came all the way from the town Vasavilan to the stage performing the "thooku kavadi" in tears. This made a heavy impression on everyone there. Other protests and hunger strikes were being carried out in front of Vattukottai Sivan Temple, Achuvelli Central College, Chavakacheri, Kodikamam and Eluthumadduval.
Approximately 6000 students from schools between Pallai and Navatkuli walked in procession and filled the Nallur arena with cried out eyes and runny noses. Throughout the procession the Tiger flag could be seen. The uprising from Navanthurai could be seen from the procession that arrived today. In the Mullaitivu district there was no place that did not have a protest or hunger strike taking place.
How many hundred thousands of people respect and adore the heart of the withered Thileepan Anna? Not just Tamil Nadu but the Tamils in European and American countries were also shedding tears for Thileepan Anna.
