La celtomanie fut un engouement, une mode littéraire, un courant de recherches, rarement une idéologie, qui s'est développée à la fin du  et au long du  dans certains milieux intellectuels, logiquement dans les pays possédant une langue celtique vivante, mais aussi, avec des inflexions différentes, dans certaines régions d'Europe occidentale qui avaient connu ou qui revendiquait un peuplement celtique au cours de l'Antiquité. Elle fut une étape obligée de la redécouverte des Celtes anciens et de leur rôle dans la génèse de cultures locales et plus généralement de la culture européenne. Elle divergea en plusieurs courants, les uns archéologiques, les autres littéraires. Avec le progrès des études, le terme est devenu péjoratif. On parait de toutes les vertus les Celtes de l'Antiquité, prétendant même en faire le berceau de l'humanité et du langage. On peut donc la concevoir initialement d'une part comme une quête identitaire dans le contexte général du nationalisme européen et d'autre part, comme la réaction de peuples celtophones, face au recul des langues celtiques et des modes de vie traditionnels devant la révolution industrielle et la montée en puissance de grands États nationaux.

La mode de la celtomanie
Le courant dit celtomane se manifeste en France à partir du  et surtout à la fin du . Le succès des oeuvres de l'Écossais James Macpherson qui fait paraître en 1773 l'édition définitive des Œuvres d'Ossian, héros irlandais du , auquel il attribua des textes qu'il disait avoir recueillis dans d'anciens grimoires médiévaux, élargit le genre. James MacPherson avait réécrit en les reliant des fragments de récits traditionnels et d'épopées gaéliques, comme on le faisait à son époque pour nombre d'œuvres littéraires. Ses écrits conquirent l'Europe, furent traduits en de nombreuses langues et provoquèrent la naissance d'une mode celtique favorisée par le romantisme naissant à l'époque et dont l'ossianisme a été la première manifestation en poésie. En retour cette mode provoqua une série d'études sérieuses qui tirèrent de l'oubli des documents jusque-là négligés, ainsi que des compositions artistiques de valeur (exemple : en musique La Grotte de Fingal de Mendelssohn ou La Norma de Bellini ; beaucoup d'œuvres de peintres et de graveurs britanniques).

Selon quelques celtomanes, le breton aurait été la langue primitive de l'humanité. Elle aurait été l'héritière d'une langue celto-scythe à l'origine de toutes les autres langues. Ou bien un descendant du phénicien ou de l'hébreu (la croyance en une langue primitive de l'humanité était due au schéma généalogique de la Bible, qui induisait un nostratique). La création de l'Académie celtique le , fondée sous le patronage de l'empereur Napoléon  lui-même, suscita les premiers travaux sérieux sur les traditions populaires. Si, chez certains érudits, le but était seulement de mettre en valeur le passé celte commun à une bonne partie de l'Europe, et en particulier à la Grande-Bretagne et à la Bretagne ou, pour d'autres, de sauvegarder le particularisme breton, les approximations de la celtomanie contribuèrent à disqualifier scientifiquement une partie des celtomanes. Compte tenu de l'état des sciences à cette époque, c'était inévitable.

Pour certains celtomanes du  comme Christoll Terrien, la Galilée devait son nom aux Gaulois installés en Orient lors de la Grande Expédition, et Jésus était un Celte. Selon Felice Vinci, « il ne semble pas déraisonnable de supposer que les Gaulois, à la fin de leur avancée vers le sud-est de la Méditerranée, avaient établi un avant-poste en Galilée, c'est-à-dire la « terre des Gaulois » ».

Dans le premier chapitre de son ouvrage fondamental The Druids (1927, régulièrement réédité), l'archéologue et historien T. D. Kendrick a fait l'histoire de la celtomanie du  au , où se mêlent plusieurs thèmes et conceptions hétérogènes. Il a rappelé comment les siècles suivants ont remis à leur juste place les matériaux d'étude (auteurs classiques, monuments - y compris les mégalithes qu'on ne pouvait alors dater), en les séparant des fantaisies romantiques. Très au fait du contexte, l'historien G. G. Toudouze commente le chemin parcouru :  (sauf lorsqu'il s'agissait de promouvoir les "Gaulois").

Un engouement de longue date
Dès la Renaissance, des Allemands commencent à se revendiquer une ascendance celtique. À partir du , des peuples d'Europe occidentale à la recherche de leur origine et en réaction aux références traditionnelles à la fois religieuses et classiques, c'est-à-dire la Bible ou la culture gréco-romaine, se découvrent un passé celtique. Les Celtes commencent à être réhabilités et utilisés aussi pour revendiquer une identité à partir d'un sentiment d'oppression socio-politique bien réel en Irlande, et d'une déperdition linguistique effective en Bretagne. Le cas de la France est à part et pour le moins paradoxal, puisque la révolution revendique une identité gauloise par opposition à l'origine franque supposée de la noblesse (querelles Mably, Boulainvillers et d'autres, essayant de conjurer l'hétérogénéité des populations). Pourtant, même si le Gaulois devient notre ancêtre, il est rarement identifié comme étant aussi un Celte. C'eût été contrarier l'idée abstraite, et providentielle, de l'Hexagone. Les préjugés des classiques restent cependant la règle : le Gaulois est doué mais reste un barbare ayant su s'adapter et profiter de la civilisation romaine. C'est aussi à cette époque que s'élabore le concept de gallo-romain. Dans ce contexte, les Bretons bretonnants étaient perçus comme les derniers détenteurs de la langue et de la civilisation gauloise, mais aussi comme un corps étranger à assimiler, les Celtes romanisés ayant été de bons élèves de Rome. "Il y avait là une sorte de schizophrénie, outre un déni de l'histoire bretonne, puisque le breton est une langue celtique insulaire."

La celtomanie et le Second Empire
Elle commence à s'effacer sous le Second Empire, lorsque Napoléon III décide de se faire historiographe du siège d'Alésia. Souci politique mais réel intérêt qui favorisa l'archéologie.

Cette mise en valeur du passé celtique aida la naissance des sciences archéologiques, philologiques et ethnographiques, qui acquéraient alors leur plein statut scientifique. Les Celtes apparurent comme un rameau du peuple indo-européen originel. Cette hypothèse étant admise aujourd'hui et s'étant avérée fructueuse dans nombre de disciplines, la raison des attaques de J.-P. Demoule à son égard, très critiquées, paraît extérieure à l'archéologie.

Il faut considérer la "celtomanie" comme un balbutiement dans une recherche historique novatrice.

L'engouement initial disparaît au milieu du , lors des derniers feux du romantisme, alors que les premiers archéologues remettent en cause certains de ses discours. Les tenants de ce courant parviennent à le faire survivre au travers de divers groupuscules parareligieux ou parascientifiques. "Le préjugé anti-celtique et le refus de la longue durée dans l'élaboration d'une réflexion scientifique condamnaient les amateurs et les curieux à se contenter d'une information inégale, à moins que des interdits jetés sur des pans entiers de savoirs n'expliquent la persistance d'une "ignorance entretenue""

Les débats sur les Celtes contribuent à éclairer les origines des peuples européens (un sujet d'études qui était, pour certains, impensable et condamnable en soi). La phrénologie fut convoquée par quelques chercheurs (Paul Broca fut l'un des pourfendeurs a priori de l'emploi de cette méthode). Puis, les méthodes s'affinant, on put émettre des conclusions assurées, en particulier celles qui plaçaient les Celtes dans la famille indo-européenne et trouvaient leur origine dans les mouvements protohistoriques des âges des Métaux.

Chauvinisme français et étatisme
Dans le contexte des années 1870, la celtomanie des années 1850 se transforma en exaltation des origines de la France, , tandis que d'autres, notamment Franz Pruner-Bey, met en avant la parenté avec les Germains. Dans ce contexte, Claude Rocher, un membre de la société française d'anthropologie, prit position contre cette exaltation d'un mythe des origines, qu'il jugeait aussi erroné que mortifère. Contradiction : on enseignait à de nombreux peuples sous administration française que leurs ancêtres étaient des Gaulois : fabrication dans laquelle la celtomanie romantique n'avait plus aucune part. Cette confusion a desservi la description objective des populations, qu'elles aient ou non subi jadis une influence celtique (la propagation du thème "gaulois" aidait ainsi à refouler le caractère germanique de l'Alsace, de la Moselle, de la Flandre ; d'effacer le fondement aquitanien des Basques et des Gascons, etc. ).

Un bon tiers de l'Europe ayant hébergé des populations celtiques, et nombre de régions et de villes leur devant leur nom, les questions relatives à l'influence celtique ne pouvaient être dénouées par la celtomanie telle qu'on la concevait au . Peu à peu on en est venu à concevoir sans excès le rôle formateur des Celtes dans la première Europe.

Dans le second Reich allemand, le débat autour des Celtes constitue aussi un sujet de discussions  dès les années 1890. Avant le premier conflit mondial, les archéologues allemands, influencés par Gustaf Kossinna, tentent de circonscrire l'héritage matériel vieux-celtique que de nouvelles méthodes de fouilles ("histoire des sites") permettent de mieux appréhender en Autriche, Bavière et Rhénanie. Selon certains intellectuels les Celtes seraient des descendants des Aryens. Mais Karl Georg Zschaetzsch, en établissant des liens de parenté entre la tribu celte des Éburons et la ville de Hébron du fait de leur proximité phonétique, en l'occurrence sans lien avec le germanisme, restait fidèle à une vieille théorie "bibliste" en faveur dans les milieux protestants, répandue surtout en Angleterre.

Certains archéologues allemands à partir des années 1920 défendent la thèse d'une origine germanique des populations celtes, la délimitation archéologique n'étant pas encore partout assurée. Après la défaite française de 1940, des programmes de fouilles menés dans le Nord et l'Est de la France furent stoppés par la suite des événements.

Au cours des années 1970 la figure du Celte, comme celle du Germain, fut parfois utilisée par la Nouvelle Droite parisienne pour insister sur la longue durée de l'installation des populations dans les pays d'Europe occidentale. Elle eut aussi du succès dans la bande dessinée et suscita des créations graphiques non négligeables.

Néodruidisme et néoceltisme

Au , d'abord sous le manteau du néodruidisme, inventé au Pays de Galles, et auquel François-René de Chateaubriand a, involontairement, donné un coup d'envoi en France, puis développé sous des aspects plus politiques, ce que l'on apprend des anciens Celtes devient un mouvement politico-culturel appelé « celtisme » ou, au début du , « panceltisme ». Il est remarquable que le bardisme rénové du pays de Galles (fondation de la Gorsedd) s'est séparé d'emblée du druidism anglais, dont les fins étaient tout autres.

Des organisations culturelles et / ou politiques organisent jusqu'à nos jours des échanges privilégiés entre les six pays où les langues celtiques sont non seulement attestées depuis le Moyen Âge, mais encore parfois pratiquées : Irlande, Écosse, Man, pays de Galles, Cornouailles et Bretagne. En Bretagne, l'impact de cette entreprise est encore mesurable au nombre élevé de communes jumelées avec des collectivités publiques de ces pays.

Un celtisme plus général implique des régions d'Europe où l'on croit que les Celtes ont pu jouer un rôle historique et dont témoignent surtout la toponymie et parfois des inscriptions rédigées dans une langue celtique. Ce celtisme s'exprime paradoxalement dans certaines régions côtières ou montagneuse de l'extrême nord de l'Espagne : Asturies, Cantabrie et Galice, alors qu'aucune langue celtique n'y soit plus parlée depuis 2000 ans, que l'archéologie n'y a découvert aucune inscription rédigée en langue celtique et que les langues romanes locales ne possèdent pas plus d'éléments celtiques que le castillan. En revanche, les seules inscriptions d'Espagne en celtibère, l'unique langue celtique attestée dans ce pays, ont été trouvées sur les hauts plateaux de Castille-et-León et en Aragon, régions qui ne se réclament pas d'un héritage celtique. L'Italie du Nord est aussi concernée par l'idée d'un héritage celte, en raison de la culture de Golasecca et de l'existence avérée des Gaulois cisalpins à l'époque antique, mais elle s'exprime surtout dans le Val d'Aoste et la région du Pô. La grande exposition de Venise sur les Celtes, en 1991, a révélé au grand public l'apport celtique à la culture romaine de ce pays.

On note que des croyances tirées du fonds celtique, et souvent mal comprises dans un contexte New Age, se développent (surtout en langue américaine) autour de la thèse d'une sagesse celtique à redécouvrir, dont les druides auraient été les dépositaires.

Régionalismes

Populations ayant été refoulées sur les marges occidentales du continent européen, le souvenir des Celtes ne s'est pas évanoui chez les tenants des identités régionales menacées, dans le Royaume-Uni ou en France.

Au cours de la seconde guerre mondiale des contacts allemands avec des militants de la cause bretonne n'eurent guère de suite car, comme ailleurs, les mouvements séparatistes étaient tenus en lisière par les autorités d'Occupation (par le biais de strict contrôle des déplacements de leurs principaux responsables), et par l'Etat français. Le congrès celtique, instance fédérant la Bretagne et les pays celtiques de France et de Grande-Bretagne, resta en marge, ainsi que le territoire britannique. L'après-guerre n'amena aucune amélioration dans la situation linguistique et sociale. La question irlandaise, persistante, fut l'occasion de mouvements de solidarité non-politique (création en Bretagne du Secours populaire interceltique, caritatif). Mais il ne s'agit plus dans tout cela de "celtomanie".

Depuis plus de cent-cinquante ans en France et sur les Îles britanniques des cercles d'études celtiques se penchaient sur la situation culturelle et sociale des régions celtiques, où se développaient aussi des mouvements consacrés à l'émancipation nationale ou régionale face aux États français (État-nation) et britannique. Cette résistance a aidé à l'indépendance de l'Irlande puis aux statuts d'autonomie actuels de l'Écosse et du pays de Galles, ainsi qu'à la rectification des limites du Cornwall, désormais reconnu comme duché ; l'île de Man est une entité statutairement distincte. La politique de l'État français n'a pas permis de telles avancées.

Devenues marginales en raison du développement des langues officielles, le français et l'anglais, les langues celtiques sont réintroduites de manière volontariste à partir des années 1970 : le cornique en Cornouailles et le mannois ou manx (par erreur manxois) sur l'île de Man sont ainsi utilisés par une minorité de la population dans leur aire géographique respective.

On peut parler aussi d'une utilisation de la celtomanie tournée contre l'idée même de l'existence de peuples celtiques dotés d'une profondeur historique et de toute revendication institutionnelle ou linguistique. Les aspects désuets de la celtomanie sont parfois invoqués pour discréditer la culture celtique dans son ensemble, voire l'objet d'étude lui-même. Cette tendance, discrète mais encore sensible en Grande-Bretagne, est assez souvent de règle en France, dans la sphère médiatique ou universitaire.

Les principaux celtomanes
 Jacques Le Brigant (1720-1804), (surnommé le « prince des celtomanes»).
 Théophile-Malo Corret de La Tour d'Auvergne
 Jean-François Le Gonidec (1775-1838), grammairien et lexicographe, pas vraiment celtomane.

Silvana Salcido Esparza on Building Barrio Café Gran Reserva with La Familia
Cal Faber
Silvana Salcido Esparza is ready to move into Barrio Café Gran Reserva on Grand Avenue.
Cal Faber | February 22, 2016 | 8:00am
Chef Silvana Salcido Esparza will tell you if there's one thing she holds dear, it's la familia. The way she explains it, la familia is more than just family — it's the community, culture, and friends that form the unbreakable bedrock of her work and life. Her flagship restaurant, Barrio Café, was built that foundation, and as she develops her latest venture, Barrio Café Gran Reserva, located on the southern stretch of Grand Avenue, la familia once again takes center stage.
Esparza has been a major player in the Phoenix food community for well over a decade. Barrio Café opened its doors to the public in 2002, and after claiming her position as one of the top Mexican chefs in the Valley, Esparza moved to expand on her empire. She helped open Barrio Queen in Scottsdale in 2012, with which she parted ways in 2014. Later that year, Esparza opened Barrio Avion in the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, quickly followed by Barrio Urbano at The Yard in Central Phoenix in January 2015. After much speculation about her next venture, Esparza announced her plans to open another restaurant in the defunct Bragg's Factory Diner building in late 2015.
After securing the Bragg's location, it took nearly six weeks for Esparza to obtain the necessary licenses before she could begin the extensive construction, cleaning, and design that has occupied her since. Relying on la familia is sometimes literal for Esparza, as she and her nephew did the majority of the clean-up before repairs began.

Esparza says her signature style will prevail at Gran Reserva. "I'm excited to bring the Barrio Café brand to Grand Avenue," she says. "There's the one and only Barrio Café, made with love. The tile's crooked because I laid it myself."
She's already poured a lot of love into the new space as well. "I know every nook and cranny," she says. Everything has been done by hand, on a budget, and by people Esparza knows and trusts. "My business partner Wendy almost cut her finger half off building the bar and her only regret is not being able to finish it herself," she says.
Esparza hasn't wasted any time settling into the historic building. Many artists in Esparza's extended family have already contributed work to the interior of the restaurant. There's a small army of muralists working within the space, including Pablo Luna, Angel Diaz, Lalo Cota, Thomas "Breeze" Marcus, and Tato Caraveo. Right now, she says that taking care of the artists is her most important and time-consuming task. Esparza feeds them, entertains them, and cleans up after them, but they are part of the Barrio Cafe family and a crucial element in the future success of Barrio Café Gran Reserva.
A Retablo by muralist Tato Caraveo presides the front dining room.
Esparza has a favorite phrase, "do the next right thing," which is a sort of "when one door closes, another one opens" mantra for her. When her relationships with Barrio Queen in Scottsdale soured in 2014, she says she was heartbroken. The loss led her to Mexico where she spent a summer building a house and taking time to be with her godson. "When I came back, I wanted to do something for myself," she says, and when the location on Grand became available, she jumped. "My father was a baker, my grandfather was a baker. It goes back to the 1200s," she says. "I am 'proudly the baker's daughter,' and there is flour in this place."
At Barrio Café Gran Reserva, Esparza wants to finish developing the food she started at Barrio Queen. "I'm a girl who likes to push the envelope. I like to set goals and see what I can do to push myself," she says. "I'm dying to do seafood." Esparza says there will be sauces, moles, and a fusion of foods including several all-star dishes from Barrio Café. She's excited to serve octopus, sea urchin, diver scallops, and fresh snapper, as well as classic dishes such as cochinita pibil and her quesadilla borracho.
One item that won't make an appearance on the menu is the ubiquitous taco. It's no secret Esparza is tired of tacos, having predicted their burn-out many times before, although she confesses that she's as guilty as anyone else for their proliferation, having put out a menu of over 50 types of tacos in the past. "There won't be tacos at Barrio Café Gran Reserva," she says, "but if I do it's because it's heirloom corn [tortillas], hand-ground, and pressed in-house."
Esparza has always been in the game of changing perceptions of Mexican food and takes it upon herself to train and foster upcoming Mexican chefs who take a vested interest in their community and food. "In order for Mexicans to be in charge of their food, it's my responsibility to set up a shop where I can train what I've learned." It all comes back to family, and a sense of stewardship towards her culture and community that informs most of Esparza's decisions in both business and life.
Esparza stands with artist Angel Diaz in front of a mural depicting the 1910 Mexican Revolution and current Chiapas revolution under the Zapatistas with SubComandante Marcos.
Moving to Grand Avenue is particularly poignant for Esparza, who says she loves the un-gentrified state of the neighborhood. While she compares the art-deco exterior of her building to "South Beach Miami before it got trendy," she says "[Grand] won't get trendy. Beatrice Moore won't let it be. Maybe I'll be the next Beatrice Moore. Maybe she'll hand me the baton," she says.
Beatrice Moore, who has spent her career building up and protecting the artistic community along Grand Avenue, sounds similarly optimistic about the arrival of Esparza and Barrio Café Gran Reserva. "Everybody's very excited about it. It's going to be a work of art" she says, "not just the food but the painting on the walls inside the restaurant. It's really starting to feel otherworldly to me…because of the different styles of paintings on the walls."
Moore sees Barrio Café Gran Reserva as a business that will bring added value to the existing community there. "I think that she'll bring in new people…There are still some people who are afraid of Grand Avenue, a lot of people who like the funkiness of Grand but are still afraid of certain things about the neighborhood. She will help dispel some of that." Moore says she appreciates that Esparza is not coming into the neighborhood to change it. "She'll be able to teach other people lessons of how to be part of a community without wiping out community. She and I think a lot alike in that sense, and we'll be able to make a stand...so that people understand the importance of what's already here." Perhaps the baton will get passed to Esparza after all.
"People look to me for direction," Esparza says proudly. She feels responsibility as the matriarch of la familia, and feels she has to fulfill her maximum in order to expect half the effort from others. Every project Esparza takes on imbued with the force of her personality and her desire to build up the people and community around her. "People try to steal my shit, but you can't," Esparza says proudly. "It's me and the people I bring with me."
Paper covering the windows of Barrio Café Gran Reserva are covered with art by the muralists who occupy the build-out during the day.

Brazilian government approves Boeing-Embraer deal
11th Jan. 2019 Nick Wenzel

The Brazilian government has approved the joint venture deal between aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Embraer.
The partnership agreement, which was announced during the Farnborough Airshow 2018 in July, was put on hold by a Brazilian court in December. Uncertainties remained after the election of Brazil's new president Jair Bolsonaro, who criticised Boeing for intending to take over Embraer's defence business.
Boeing plans to take control of Embraer by creating a joint venture and with that better compete against rivals Airbus and Bombardier, which formed a joint venture for the construction and sale of the Airbus A220 (formerly known as Bombardier CSeries) in July 2018.
As part of the planned joint venture, Boeing will acquire an 80% ownership stake, while Embraer will hold the remaining 20 percent. Furthermore, the Brazilian regional jet manufacturer will own a 51 percent stake in a second joint venture "to promote and develop new markets" for the KC-390 military transport aircraft.
At the moment, the Brazilian government has full veto power at Embraer but would be forced to give up all control of the nation's aircraft manufacturer to the American company.
The closing of the transaction will be subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and is intended to be finalised by the end of 2019.

Over the past years we've been collecting the questions we receive most frequently about sepsis. Please share this information with your friends and family. Don't see your question on the list? Get in touch with us, and we'll do our best to help.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs. Instead of local inflammation resulting from a local infection, which would be the appropriate response, the body's entire system goes into inflammation. That's sepsis. It is the leading cause of death from infection around the world, despite advances in modern medicine like vaccines, antibiotics, and acute care. Millions of people around the world die of sepsis every year.
How can this "inflammation" result in death?
This inflammatory response can lead to dehydration and changes in circulation, for instance a drop in blood pressure. This can compromise the ability of the circulatory system to provide adequately oxygen etc. to the tissues. That leads to dysfunction in various organs, such as the lung, heart, kidney, and brain. It can also lead to shock, multiple organ failure, and death, especially if it is not recognized early and treated promptly. Sepsis is an emergency.
How do I know it is sepsis?
Usually the first symptoms are those associated with the source of infection, such as a cough due to pneumonia or abdominal pain from appendicitis. Fever, a high pulse rate, and accelerated breathing are also signs. Everyone should be aware of the main clinical symptoms that indicate the worsening of an infection. Shortness of breath, reduction in urine output, dizziness, or altered mental status with confusion, agitation, or drowsiness can be signs of organ dysfunctions. In laboratory tests, sepsis often coincides with high white blood cell counts. But in the highly acute phase, and especially in immunocompromised patients, there may also be a decrease in white blood cell counts. In most cases, indicators of inflammation are increased.
Can sepsis be treated successfully?
Yes. The first hours of treatment are the most important. Patients must receive appropriate antibiotic therapy as soon as possible. Blood cultures and cultures from the site of infection under suspicion should be taken to detect the cause. Patients should also have their blood lactate levels measured, as this is a sign of dysfunction in the circulatory system. Patients with severe signs, such as hypotension and elevated lactate levels, should also receive fluids. Depending on the severity of organ dysfunction, they may require treatment in an intensive care unit.
If the sepsis has been caused by an infected foreign object in the body, a stone in the renal pelvis, or a ruptured intestine, then antibiotics alone are not enough. In these cases the focus of the sepsis or the foreign object needs to be removed surgically.
Is it normal to feel continually exhausted after having sepsis? Will I recover the energy I had before?
Fatigue after any serious illness, including sepsis, is very common. Your body has gone through a tremendous ordeal; it not only battled an infection, but it also dealt with sepsis, which could have resulted in death. Now that your body has successfully recovered from the immediate danger of sepsis, you need to rest, begin to regain your strength, and rebuild your body's reserves.
If you continue to be exhausted, there may be other issues going on. You may want to consider a check-up with your doctor or nurse to be sure that other parts of your body, such as your thyroid, are functioning properly. You can also help rebuild your energy and strength by eating a healthy, balanced diet and getting enough physical exercise. Exercising when you are already tired may not seem easy, but if you start slowly, such as with regular walks around the neighborhood, you should be able to build up your energy. Also, check if there are any health rehabilitation programs available to you. In these programs, qualified personnel help you with simple exercise programs and monitor your progress over time.
Many people have cognitive problems like memory loss, inability to concentrate, and difficulty performing mental tasks that used to be easy before sepsis. It seems that the older you are when you get sepsis, the higher the risk of memory problems afterwards.
Preventing infections is the best way to prevent sepsis. Although there are no specific vaccines to prevent sepsis, vaccines are available for certain sepsis pathogens, such as pneumococci. Especially small children, people over 65, and patients who have no spleen should get vaccinated – they are particularly susceptible to pneumococci. This includes people who were born without a spleen as well as people who lost theirs due to an injury, surgery, or aggressive chemotherapy. You can also help prevent infection by maintain a healthy lifestyle with nutritious food, exercise, and rest. Wash your hands frequently. Seek medical help if an illness does not seem to be improving or is getting worse. Do what you can to prevent hospital-acquired infections. If you do get an infection, you can prevent sepsis by treating it seriously.
As healthcare professional you can help to reduce hospital acquired infections by following the patient safety program of the WHO.
Are there any specific risk factors that increase a person's likelihood of developing sepsis?
Anyone can get sepsis, even someone who was previously healthy. However, people with diabetes, cancer, HIV infection, previous chemotherapy, as well as corticosteroids users or those with any form of immunosuppression are more susceptible to severe forms of infection. Especially premature infants, small children, people 65 and older, and people with no spleen are more at risk. That risk can be reduced with a vaccination against pneumococci.
Can small wounds lead to sepsis?
If they develop from a local infection to a systematic inflammation, they are a source of sepsis.
We have seen sepsis cases triggered by small cracks at the corner of the mouth, which enable bacteria from the skin to spread into the circulatory system in children and adults.
Why have I never heard of sepsis before?
Sepsis isn't talked about very often. We hear of people dying of infections. Often it was sepsis. Even today, if someone dies of sepsis due to pneumonia, (infection of the lungs) the cause of death is listed as pneumonia. If someone dies of sepsis after being severely burned, the cause of death is complications due to burns. Because sepsis is seldom listed as the cause of death, many people think it isn't a problem. That is one of our biggest concerns. Increasing awareness of sepsis is one of our major goals.
How can I recognize that sepsis has started in small children?
They will have a temperature or fever, tend to drift off, become weak, and lose muscle tone. Their breathing will become labored, and their personality will seem to change. They will lose their appetite and seem apathetic. In case a child has an infection and the condition worsens dramatically as described, contact your health practitioner.
Are premature born babies more susceptible to an infection and to sepsis?
The immune system in premature babies has not yet fully developed. That's why premature babies are more susceptible to infection or sepsis. If a baby requires artificial respiratory support because its lungs were not fully developed, that's a life-saving measure. But it also coincides with a higher risk of pneumonia. Just as every other invasive medical technique, for example inserting vascular lines or catheters, which premature babies need to survive.
What can I do minimize the risk for my children?
Children should get vaccinated, especially against pneumococci. Pneumococci can cause pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media and sinusitis. Especially children born without a spleen, as well as children who lost theirs due to an injury, surgery, or aggressive chemotherapy, should get vaccinated.
If sepsis develops during pregnancy, while or after giving birth, or after an abortion, it is called maternal sepsis.
How does sepsis affect women during pregnancy or childbirth?
Sepsis is one of the main causes of maternal death. It kills about 35,000 women every year during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum or post-abortion.
How is maternal sepsis different than sepsis among other adult women?
Infections can be more common and sometimes more severe during pregnancy because of several normal changes that occur in women's bodies. These changes can also make infections more difficult to treat. Some parts/functions of a pregnant woman's immune system – the system that defends your body against infections – are suppressed during pregnancy. Changes in the amount of blood in the body make the heart, lungs, and kidneys work harder, and that might make infections harder to detect. As the baby grows in the uterus, it puts pressure on the urinary tract and makes it more difficult for the body to clear urine.
I am pregnant, what can I do to make it less likely to get sepsis?
Prevention of infections is key in reducing your risk of developing sepsis. Make sure you complete all the recommended antenatal visits. During these visits healthcare providers will test you for common infections, orient you on how to prevent infections, and make sure your body is prepared to fight infections by counselling you on vaccination and nutrition, and prescribing treatments to prevent or treat some germs that may lead to infection or infect your baby.
If you feel unwell at any time during your pregnancy, consult your healthcare provider.
Can getting a Caesarean section reduce my risk of sepsis?
On the contrary! The risk of having an infection after a Caesarean section is four times higher than by vaginal birth. This is mainly related to the risk of developing an infection at the site of the wound.
What can healthcare facilities offer to minimize the risk of maternal sepsis?
Healthcare facilities can ensure good quality care to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections. This means that facilities should make sure there is no overcrowding during childbirth, that they follow clean birth practices, that they have access to clean water and sanitation, and have infection prevention and control measures in place. Facilities should make sure that interventions during childbirth (e.g. Caesarean sections) are kept to the necessary minimum.
Can sepsis be treated successfully with antibiotics in its early stages?
In most cases, yes. But if the sepsis has been caused by an infected foreign object in the body, a stone in the renal pelvis, or a ruptured intestine, then antibiotics alone are not enough. In these cases the focus of the sepsis or the foreign object needs to be removed surgically.
What can be done when sepsis no longer responds to any type of antibiotic?
Unfortunately there are more and more germs that are resistant even to antibiotics of last resort. The only choice left is then intensive care: measures to support the organ functions in the hope that the body's own immune system will be able to prevent the pathogens from spreading any further. But many of these patients cannot be helped.
What influence does MRSA (Methicilin-resistent Staphylococcus aureus) have on possible sepsis?
MRSA is a sepsis pathogen that cannot be treated with normal antibiotics. MRSA is responsible for some cases of sepsis, but not every MRSA infection leads to sepsis. But the mortality rate of sepsis is higher if MRSA is detected in the bloodstream than if other antibiotic-resistant germs are present.

General Atlantic-backed Riskified valued at $4.3 bln in NYSE debut
Thursday, Jul 29, 2021 0
Riskified Ltd (RSKD.N), an online risk management platform backed by an affiliate of growth equity investor General Atlantic, notched a valuation of $4.3 billion after its shares jumped more than 28% in their stock market debut on Thursday.
Shares opened at $27, compared to Riskified's initial public offering (IPO) price of $21 per share that helped raise $367.5 million.
The company, founded by Eido Gal and Assaf Feldman in 2013 to solve online payment fraud, sold 17.5 million shares in the IPO, of which existing shareholders offered about 200,000 shares.
Riskified aims to reduce risks related to online fraud for e-commerce businesses and has built a machine learning-based platform that minimizes payment risk.
"We're opening offices in Australia, Shanghai, London, Mexico and Brazil, so there is much opportunity globally," Chief Executive Officer Eido Gal told Reuters.
The Tel Aviv, Israel-based company recorded a 30% rise in revenue to $169.7 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020, a recent regulatory filing showed. However, it incurred a loss of $11.3 million in the same period.
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse were the lead underwriters for the offering.

Child custody battles are not an easy experience on both the parents and the children. However, they are a common feature in divorces that involve children. The divorce can be traumatizing for the children and the separation from either parent as a result of the custody proceedings can be even worse for both parents and children. A child custody attorney Allentown can help you determine the best strategy for your child custody battle.
It is important to select a child custody attorney carefully. The attorney you select will have a big role to play in the outcome of your case. You should select an attorney who is known for their success and who will put yours and your child's rights first. They should be sure to get a solution that is in the best interests of your child.
The first step to finding the right child custody attorney Allentown is to talk to friends and family within the local area. Personal recommendations are the most effective way of identifying a professional. You should ask the people you trust living in the area. They will direct you to attorneys that they know personally or have heard of.
You can also check the local listings in the dailies or the yellow pages for attorneys in the area. Check the Internet for more listings and for further information on different child custody attorneys in the area. You will find that many attorneys place information about their services online to market them.
It is important to ensure that you hire a child custody attorney that is reputable. You should therefore carry out some research on their background. Start with the most obvious source of information for the background of any lawyer; the State Bar Association. The association would have information about charges that have been brought against the lawyer as well as any other incidents of misconduct.
You can check online for reports on the lawyer in the news or even from general discussions online. If you already have a lawyer assisting you in other areas, you can ask them for their recommendation and some background information on the lawyers you are interested in. Lawyers of different specialties often rub shoulders within the corridors of justice. They are therefore likely to know a thing or two about the reputation of the lawyer you are interested in using.
It is important to ensure that you can afford the services of the child custody attorney. This will ensure that the services are sustainable. This is especially important as custody cases are often long and may drag out for a long time. It is therefore important to get all issues about payment out of the way first and foremost.
There are several factors that you ought to consider when searching for a child custody attorney in Allentown .

Q: Azure Devops - Limiting scope of IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup@0 task XmlVariableSubstitution I'm working on improving security in a legacy asp.net application. One issue identified was the use of hard-coded database connection strings in web.config.
To resovle this, I've moved the connection details to secret variables in Azure Devops variable groups.
The variable substitution is done in the IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup@0 task, by setting XmlVariableSubstitution.
This works fine. However I'm a bit concerned about how broadly this applies. This task will perform substitutions across all config files in the application, matching any element in appSettings, connectionStrings, configSections, based on key or name, against all pipeline variables.
If at some stage someone added a variable to the variable groups, which happens to match a key for any appSettings across the whole application, the value will be unintentionally and silently substituted.
I'd like to somehow limit the scope of the substitution task, to ensure it only applies where we need it to.
Is anyone aware of any way to do this?

A: When you use the option: XML variable substitution in the IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup task, it will loop all config files by default.
I am afraid that there is no such method can limit the scope of the Xml Variable Substitution action in the IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup task.
For a workaround, you can add File transform task to update the variable in the config file. It supports to defining the target file in the task.
for example:
- task: FileTransform@1
  displayName: 'File Transform: '
  inputs:
    fileType: xml
    targetFiles: web.config

On the other hand, you can also use the task RegEx Match & Replace task from RegEx Match & Replace. It supports to define the target variable and target file in the task. Refer to my previous ticker: RegExMatchReplace task

While everyone knows that time is money, this book demonstrates that for manufacturing companies time is a lot more money than most managers realize! The author shows how companies can take advantage of this realization to gain competitive advantage. This book is intended to be a quick read to convince executives to implement QRM strategy as well as a brief overview for all employees to help them support the QRM implementation.
Although "lean" is widely used in many industries, lean manufacturing is based on the JIT strategy perfected by Toyota 30 years ago. Instead of adopting 30-year-old strategies to compete in today's dynamic market, this definitive volume on the subject of Quick Response Manufacturing demonstrates how a small but growing number of companies in the U.S. Midwest are leapfrogging their lean competitors.
This overview article on QRM reviews a Top Ten list of traditional beliefs in the manufacturing sector. Find out if these misconceptions prevail in your company and examine how valid they seem when viewed through the lens of Quick Response Manufacturing.
Manufacturing organizations typically look to the shop floor to improve efficiency. However, office operations in manufacturing companies provide significant opportunities to improve productivity and reduce costs. This article explains these opportunities and describes how to form quick-response office cells to slash lead time, cut costs and gain competitive advantage.
Many healthcare and biotech organizations have initiated Lean and Six Sigma driven improvement efforts to improve quality and reduce costs. The main challenge: the inherent complexity and variability in operations. This report shows how time-based strategies and quick response principles can apply in healthcare and biotech settings and how they have been successfully implemented in healthcare and clinical supply chain operations.

Le Chevalier d'Éon Volume 1: Lia
Reference: A01PBEDEONEONX01FR
With ambiguity as an advantage, Chevalier d'Éon is still one of the most enigmatic spies in all of France's history. Agnès Maupré (Milady) takes a fresh look at the life of this ever fascinating figure!
Keen wit and a sharp blade, D'Éon is an icon of sexual ambiguity and one of French history's greatest mysteries. The controversy surrounding the knight's gender was one of the juiciest bits of gossip of the 18th century. But his history only starts out glamorously. Éon was indeed an androgynous spy as at ease in a skirt as a Dragoon captain's uniform, spying on Russia and England for Louis XV, but his devotion to this capricious king lacking in self-confidence would cause him more trouble than good fortune…

Baustab Becker and 21. Panzer-Division in Normandy
with Michael McSwiney
In early May, 1943 after the destruction of the original 21. Panzer-Division in Africa, Hitler ordered the upgrade of a mobile brigade forming in France, Schnelle Brigade West, to a full panzer division and renamed it 21. Panzer-Division. Veterans of the original division who had not been killed or captured were made available and formed the core of the new formation. To avoid confusion, the division was officially referred to as 21. Panzer-Division "Neu" (for "new") until 1 January 1944.
Click here to see the 21st Panzer Division in the online store...
Unfortunately, this new division was being raised at a time where materiel was in short supply as the Wehrmacht was gearing up for Unternehmen Zitadelle, the attack on the Kursk Salient in the Soviet Union. A German High Command order on 27 June 1943 expressly forbade 21. Panzer-Division from requisitioning equipment and vehicles (apart from communications gear) from official German stocks. They were instead to draw equipment and vehicles from the stockpiles of French equipment available locally. Initial deliveries of indigenous German equipment were therefore scarce, amounting to only 24 PaK43 8.8cm anti-tank guns and 12 leichte Feldhaubitze 10.5cm howitzers.
Fortunately for the division, they had at their disposal Hauptmann (later Major) Alfred Becker. A veteran of the Great War, Becker earned a doctorate in mechanical engineering after returning from that conflict, and would put it to good use during the Second World War. German encounters with the T-34 and KV-1 tanks in the Soviet Union created shockwaves throughout the Wehrmacht and created a critical need for not only more powerful anti-tank guns, but mechanised chassis to allow their more rapid and flexible deployment. In order to provide mobility to the excellent 7.5cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun, Becker had initially mated the gun to the Lorraine 37L tracked carrier creating the Marder I. This conversion, along with several others convinced Hitler to give Becker a free hand in developing the existing stocks of French equipment into useful armoured fighting vehicles.
To facilitate his work, Becker set up a workshop facility just outside of Paris at Maison-Lafitte which became known as "Baustab Becker". The development and conversion process was hampered somewhat by the poor state of the captured stocks of French equipment, which were essentially obsolete by 1943 standards and had not been maintained. Each vehicle was individually reviewed and graded based on its overall condition. Only those in reasonable shape would be converted to new vehicles, while those in the worst condition would donate any usable parts as spares.
At this facility, many conversions were carried out which would supply not only 21. Panzer-Division, but several other German formations as well. Becker worked closely with Alkett to fabricate specially-designed replacement superstructures for the French AFVs which would then be installed at Baustab Becker. All total, the facility would produce almost 450 armoured vehicles during the war including:
184 Marder I
96 15 cm sFH13/1 (Sf) auf Geschuetzwagen Lorraine Schlepper (f)
36 10.5 cm leFH 18M auf Geschuetzwagen Lorraine Schlepper (f)
24 7.5cm PaK40 auf Hotchkiss37 10.5 cm leFH 18M auf Hotchkis
In addition to the self-propelled guns and Sturmgeschütz, Becker made extensive use of French half-tracked vehicles which, like their fully-tracked counterparts, had largely been left to rust since the French armistice in 1940. These included many examples of both the Somua MCG and Unic P107. The former was most often used to create self-propelled rocket launchers though there was an anti-tank variant as well, while the latter was modified for use as a troop transport filling the same tactical role as the ubiquitous Sd. Kfz.251 half-track.
The self-propelled rocket launchers based on the MCG half-track would provide direct support for 21. Panzer-Division during the Normandy campaign. One design utilized the 8cm Raketen-Vielfachwerfer, which was essentially a German copy of the Soviet BM-8 Katyusha launcher. Another design used was the Reihenwerfer, which consisted of 16 captured Brandt Mle 27/31 mortars mounted on a framework in two rows of eight. The resulting barrage mortar was then mated to the MCG chassis in a 360 degree mount with controllable elevation. When fired the mortars would launch in rapid succession providing a saturation bombardment to the target area. Sixteen of the adaptable little MCG chassis were also used to mount the 7.5cm PaK 40 gun, creating a very potent mobile anti-tank gun.
Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 200
Because of his military record and familiarity with the equipment, Becker was tapped to command Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 200 which consisted of several batteries of his 7.5cm PaK and 10.5cm le F. H. conversions of the Hotchkiss tank. In early 1944, Becker's unit along with the rest of the division was deployed north to Brittany, though Field Marshal Rommel, in command of German forces in Normandy, would later move the division to the region outside Caen. As his troops still lacked experience, Becker worked hard to both train the men and ensure that the tactics used played to the strengths of their unique vehicles in anticipation of the fighting ahead.
Available references disagree as to exactly how Becker ultimately organized his formation when fighting commenced in June 1944. Some references indicate that Becker fielded four batteries, each consisting of four 7.5cm and six 10.5cm armed Hotchkiss. However, when Rommel inspected Becker's unit in May 1944, he noted five batteries, each armed with six 7.5cm and four 10.5cm armed Hotchkiss, with the six 7.5cm Hotchkiss in two separate platoons. However, if the production number of 24 7.5cm armed Hotchkiss is accurate, the five-battery formation described above is impossible as there would not have been 30 of the 7.5cm armed Hotchkiss available. In all accounts the 7.5cm Hotchkiss were used exclusively in a direct-fire role, while the 10.5cm Hotchkiss could be used either in direct fire or could perform indirect bombardments of more distant enemies.
However the Abteilung was organized, the fact remains when the Allies invaded the Normandy beaches on 6 June 1944, 21. Panzer-Division was the only armoured unit to move toward the beaches in accordance with Rommel's designed defensive plan. Becker's Sturmgeschütz would not see actual combat until 9 June when three batteries provided support for 125. Panzergrenadier-Regiment. Both the 7.5cm and 10.5cm Hotchkiss proved devastating to Allied (mostly British) tanks in these early engagements.
As the fighting went on in Normandy, the Germans desperately tried to keep the Allied forces pinned into the Normandy beachhead. Becker's Abteilung was incorporated into "Kampfgruppe Luck" under then command of Hans von Luck. In addition to the Sturmgeschütz Abteilung, the battle group included not only Luck's 125. Panzergrenadier-Regiment, and modern armoured support in the form of Panzer IV's from 22. Panzer-Regiment and the vaunted Tiger I from 503 Schwere Panzer-Abteilung. As fate would have it, this particular battle group found itself squarely in the path of British Field Marshal Montgomery's Operation Goodwood, which was designed to break the Normandy stalemate returning initiative to the Allies.
On 18 July 1944, prior to launching the ground forces, the Allies conducted a devastating preliminary bombardment consisting of over 2000 bombers carpet bombing forward defensive lines followed by a 30-minute naval and artillery barrage. Despite the severity of the bombardment, Luck was able to mount a coordinated defence along his sector of the front. Under Becker's direct command Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 200 would engage the advancing British from concealed positions, and would then relocate before they could be tracked down by surviving elements.
The advancing British 11th Armoured Division would lose over 100 tanks that day – many to Becker's self-propelled guns. The delaying tactics worked long enough for German reinforcements to be brought forward and stabilize the line.
Sturmgeschütz Abteilung 200 would see action against the British again when they launched Operation Bluecoat, but after this battle the unit was severely weakened through attrition. The formation would ultimately be destroyed during the Battle of the Falaise Pocket. Becker himself would be wounded on 1 August 1944, but managed to escape the pocket. Becker was again forced to flee on 3 September when he was nearly captured by resistance forces at Fosses-la-Ville. He would ultimately be captured in Alsace in December 1944.

Getting your life back together after bankruptcy can seem overwhelming and extremely intimidating. By the time you file for bankruptcy, you are probably stressed out because your credit is in shambles, you can't make your mortgage payments or pay bills and you are in danger of losing your possessions you worked so hard to acquire. If you recently filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, it is important you realize that there is life after bankruptcy. Often times, those who file for bankruptcy treat themselves like financial outcasts, believing myths they hear about not being able to get credit or buy property for years after a bankruptcy.
Well, it might come as a surprise to many, but life after bankruptcy can actually be quite rewarding. But in order to reap those rewards, you need to adopt the right strategies and commit yourself to not cast away your precious second chance that bankruptcy can offer. Eventually, how well you rebound from a bankruptcy filing depends on the steps you take to safeguard yourself against actions that can damage your financial future.
Here are a few steps you can take to hasten your recovery in the aftermath of bankruptcy.
Don't allow guilt or shame to affect you. Understand that if you filed for bankruptcy in Arizona, you're certainly not alone. According to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix, 14,657 consumers and small businesses statewide filed for bankruptcy in 2016. That number was even higher in 2015 when there were 16,313 filings and at its highest in 2010 when 41,579 individuals and small businesses filed for bankruptcy protection.
So, there is absolutely no need to feel disappointed in yourself or feel like you have failed. Beating yourself up isn't going to make things any better. In fact, when you continue experiencing negative emotions, it can prevent you from moving onward and upward. So, your biggest challenge after a bankruptcy, more than anything else, might just be to adopt a positive, can-do attitude. At the Pew Law Center, we advise our clients to become more disciplined and better educated so they can learn from their experience and avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
The next step is to take a good, hard look at what you did that got you to this place. Ask yourself how you could've done things differently and what you have learned from your experience. This will help you create a better plan and strategy in the wake of a bankruptcy. Enlist the support of family members and friends whom you trust have your best interests at heart. It is important to have the right kind of people around you who offer words of support and encouragement.
Create a budget that is practical and be sure you continue to pay all your bills on time. Especially after a bankruptcy, you need to be hyper-vigilant about your money matters. If you've never done a budget or stuck to one, now is the time to get serious about it. Your budget will be your roadmap each month helping you to live within your means so you don't accumulate any more debt. You should also allocate some of your earnings toward savings and building up an emergency fund so you don't have to borrow money when you need it, as you're digging yourself out of this hole. Emergencies have the potential to derail even the most efficient and well-thought-out budgets. So, please don't let that happen to you. Make building your emergency fund a top priority soon after your bankruptcy.
Pay your bills in a timely manner. Set up automatic bill payments through your bank. What you do will affect your credit score. Paying your bills on time will help restore your finances and your credit. If money is tight, prioritize your expenses by paying expenses such as food, housing and utilities first.
Get a secured credit card. This is a type of credit card where you deposit a fixed amount of money into a bank account. And that becomes your credit limit. When you charge small amounts to your credit card each month and make payments on time, you can gradually rebuild your credit. A number of these secured credit cards will reward borrowers who are responsible by increasing the limit without any additional deposit. You may even be able to convert it into a traditional credit card. Be very careful not to slip back into your old ways. Stay away from secured credit cards that charge high fees or ones that don't report your payment history to the credit bureaus.
Understand what you're in for. Don't be misled by myths about bankruptcy. Don't buy into misinformation such as you can't get a credit card or a mortgage for many years after a bankruptcy filing. This is simply not true. It is also incorrect to believe that you will be charged exorbitant interest rates if you've just been through a bankruptcy. If you follow the right path, your credit can be restored in a year or two.
It is true that bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for up to a decade. But, it's not going to take that amount of time to rebuild your credit. Not if you take the steps above and are responsible for your finances. Also, you are entitled to one free credit report from any of the reporting bureaus every year. You can request the reports online and go over them to make sure they are accurate. What you need to look out for are balances due that are inaccurate or debts that have been discharged and you no longer owe. If you find something incorrect on your credit report, you can dispute it with the agency. They will investigate and make any necessary corrections. You may need to give them the needed documentation to substantiate your dispute.
So, as you can see, there is life after bankruptcy, particularly if you keep a firm head on your shoulders, display a positive attitude and take complete responsibility to fix your financial situation.

Everybody Dies in DEFCON
By Jonathan Glover Legacy Author June 15, 2010
How do you rationalize a game where "everybody dies?"
"How do you rationalize nuclear war?"
It's a humid mid-spring day and I'm lying on the floor at my parents' house in rural Virginia, about 70 miles outside of Washington, DC. On the outskirts of Hunt Country, rolling, emerald pastures and grandiose Civil War-era mansions separate Capitol Hill from … here, an area with a rapidly-dissolving middle class and the inspiration for a rather disparaging (and embarrassingly accurate) book titled, "Deer Hunting With Jesus." I make the best of having to be here and luxuriate in the availability of cheap jerky. As I wait for my brother to join the match of DEFCON that I've set up for us, I stare into the game's main menu, and peruse the many detailed lists scrolling up the left-hand side of the screen that evoke just the right flavor of apocalyptica: beta tester credits, strategic world targets and the symptoms and signs of radiation sickness ("hair loss, bloody stool, sloughing of skin … ").
About 3,600 miles away in Cambridge, England, indie darlings Introversion plug away on their next game, Subversion, along with a PSN port of the aforementioned DEFCON. "We've had to do a spot of downsizing recently," notes Introversion managing director Mark Morris. "We finished Darwinia+ and there is a bit of a lull while we do the groundwork for our next projects. At the moment it's just the four original directors and my dad, dutifully sending out the physical units to the customers that want them."
I imagine Mark's dad, Will ("the most under-appreciated member of Introversion"), locked against his will in a bedroom the size of the one I'm in now, though as Mark is quick to note, the studio has smartly ridden themselves of the "bedroom" moniker. "We dropped the 'last of the bedroom programmers' tag a while ago," he says. "When we first entered the industry it was dominated by huge publishers and medium-large-sized developers – there was no concept that a team of four or five people could independently develop and publish a new game. Happily, that situation has changed and we see lots of small teams doing really well. Claiming to be the last in that sort of an environment just stopped making sense. That said, we still hold those bedroom values of only working on original IP and not doing work for hire."
Pemmican in-hand, I ready our game as my brother joins the lobby.
DEFCON 5.
"Darwinia had taken a lot longer than we expected and we were keen to work on something more contained," Mark says when questioned about the origins of DEFCON. "Chris actually wrote the prototype for DEFCON whilst he was still working on Darwinia. He sat down and watched WarGames and thought, 'Could I make a game of that? A nuclear war strategy game?' He was also watching 24 at the time so he tried to complete it in 24 hours. That didn't really work out, but despite the technology that we had to develop to make DEFCON work the core mechanics remained true to the original 24-hour prototype."
As the round begins I scatter silos and radar along my southern border and up both coasts – Russia is now a grinning skull. Scouring over the tiny units, what's most immediately noticeable is how well the four-year-old game has aged, its timeless vector graphics belying an aesthetic sophistication – flecks of color illuminate my face as I draw in close to see bombers already hovering around my territory.
According to Mark, "We knew we wanted a simple and stylized look. We really wanted it to feel like you were a general buried deep in NORAD, but as with all Introversion games there was a good degree of iteration before the glow and tone were just right. We had a fantastic sound guy, Al Lindsey, on board to create the music and soundscape that really make DEFCON feel so dark and tragic. The music is my favorite part and we almost won a [Game Developer Choice Award] for best audio but lost out to one of the Guitar Hero [games] – hardly fair!"
I have the sound turned off on my bulky, borrowed laptop – begrudgingly, as DEFCON's sound design is perhaps its best feature. A hauntological bent dictates ethereal strings and low-rent Cold War synths, both of which are perfectly framed by unsettling ambient queues. DEFCON stages are signaled by a maybe not so distant alarm, crackling over the intercoms of your bunker – or perhaps your opponents. Is that the sound of coughing, or quiet sobbing as you begin your attack on Houston?
Though DEFCON has always been my personal favorite in Introversion's oeuvre, I'd always assumed it a risky endeavor coming off the success of Darwinia – the studio was teetering on the brink of financial failure long before Darwinia was ever released and reportedly spent their last £1500 the day before Darwinia pre-orders went live. "Not at all," responds Morris. "We knew that DEFCON was going to be popular. Despite popular misconceptions, DEFCON outsold Darwinia and is our most successful game by a long way. There was a lot of press interest and we felt like we were on to a winner."
My brother's bombers are now hovering over Moscow and he's left nearly his entire Western seaboard open to attack. Likewise, I enter through Alaska. I also realize too late that I forgot to deploy one of my submarines. It will sit alone in my units tab, a red, luminescent reminder of failure.
I ask Mark if he thinks the game has a timeless and frightening relevance.
"Yes, I think it does," he says. "I don't think it is any less relevant now then it was when we released it four years ago. Obviously, had we launched during the Cuban missile crisis we would probably be millionaires by now – we would have had to have invented the home computer as well, but I reckon that we could have done that. I think people are interested in the theme, but, really, it is the game itself that keeps bringing people back. We've not found an optimal way to play DEFCON which means that, like chess, it just goes on and on."
"We are trying to avoid changing the game itself," says Morris, when queried about their work on the PSN iteration of DEFCON and the lessons carried over from their last original game (for a moment ignoring Darwinia pseudo-sequel Multiwinia) into the upcoming Subversion. "I think there can be improvements made to the 'meta-game' – a well implemented player ladder and tournament support would aid the enjoyment a lot, but as a game in itself I don't think it needs to be messed with." He continues, "Subversion is a very different game to DEFCON. Much more similar to Uplink, actually. Most of the lessons learnt from DEFCON are technical and relate to our underlying network architecture and development processes. I think that the audio in DEFCON was our best achievement and lent to a wonderful sense of place and atmosphere, I'd really want to recreate that within the Subversion world."
I again lament my lack of sound, particularly over my brother's ever-increasing cellphone chatter.
"Launch Detected." I immediately launch a handful of volleys at his coastal cities. "Shit," I hear, from across the room, before explaining it away to his girlfriend on the other end of the phone.
San Francisco hit, 9.5m dead.
New York hit, 16.5m dead.
The smell of earthworms and warm Virginia rain wafts through the open window. I shift my weight on the uncomfortable carpet, rip off a large slab of salty jerky with my teeth and my mouth is flooded with a thick saliva.
"How do you rationalize nuclear war?" Morris asks. "We're not particularly left-wing at Introversion and the original desire to make DEFCON was probably more about how cool it is to silently place your submarines and gently move your bombers to a position to deliver a devastating attack than it was to comment on the futility of war. Once we started looking into it though, we just couldn't help but give some sort of commentary on the rationale behind systems of war that have the capability to wipe us out as a race."
Washington, DC hit, 3.1m dead.

Saving the Polar Bear: The Saga Continues
Polar Bear With Blue Tongue (see end of post for explanation)
Follow-up: Greenwire now (Oct. 22) has more details:
The Obama administration today proposed protecting more than 200,000 square miles in Alaska as critical habitat for the polar bear — an area the administration said would be the largest the government has ever put forward in a bid to protect an imperiled species.
The Interior Department's sweeping proposal, which includes coastal barrier islands, terrestrial denning areas and sea ice off of Alaska's coast, is nearly one-third the size of Alaska and larger than the states of Washington and Oregon combined. Most of the habitat protections would go to offshore sea ice.
Greenwire reports that the White House (OMB, actually) has cleared a rule designating critical habitat for polar bears. A key issue will be how this designation impacts oil and gas development:
Critical habitat designations prohibit federal agencies from permitting actions that harm protected species within those areas.
The habitat protections could create more controversy over how federal officials should deal with climate change that is changing the bear's current habitat and what level of protections the bears need from oil and gas drilling in the Arctic.
Environmental groups want the habitat protections to address oil and gas development and protect not only land where the polar bear currently dwells but also the habitat it has lost from global warming.
An exception included in the polar bear's listing rule allows oil and gas companies to operate in the bear's habitat, one of the issues environmentalists challenged in a lawsuit against the administration.
In the final months of the Bush administration, the Interior Department launched a controversial plan to ramp up offshore drilling in Alaska, as well as the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The Obama administration is moving forward with that plan. The department closed a public comment period last month but has not set a timetable for a final decision.
By the way, the bear's tongue isn't blue because it's been eating a blueberry Popsicle– that's actually the normal color. True fact.

Bosa Yankovich served with the Serbian Army during World War One.
Prior to the First World War Yankovich played a notable role in Serbia's conduct of the Balkan Wars of 1912-13, in the course of which he was given command of Third Army.
Yankovich successfully threw back the (mismanaged) Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia once Austria-Hungary had declared war against Serbia on 28 July 1914. He was was similarly active during the Serbian Army's Great (indeed epic) Retreat of 1915, fighting defensive actions for much of the way.
Yankovich served throughout the war, and in 1918 successfully commanded a combined Serbian/Montenegrin force in Salonika.


Remember that one time Chris Brown had Tupac lyrics painted onto his Lamborghini Gallardo and you thought to yourself, "man, I wish I could own that car", well now you can.
Okay, so no one was really thinking that because lets face it, painting Tupac lyrics — or what's supposed to be Tupac lyrics — on a Lamborghini is a terrible idea.
Anyway, Chris Brown must be over the whole thing now too because the car is up with a "Buy it Now" set at $99,999.
What do you think, will it sell? Check out the full listing .

Chris Martin Sells The Malibu Home He Shared With Dakota Johnson
December 30, 2021 | Shivangini Rawat
Chris Martin is well-known for his unique voice and renowned singing abilities as the frontman of Coldplay. The singer's career is just getting better. He just sold the Malibu home he shared with Dakota Johnson and bought another for a hefty $14.4 million.
A real estate insider tells E! News that almost a year after moving into a $12.5 million house in Malibu with Dakota Johnson, the famous rocker sold the property for a profit and acquired another mansion in the region.
"Chris bought and sold in Malibu in mid-December, he got an off-market offer on his Nantucket-style home for almost $2 million more than he paid for it, and he took it."
Chris Martin not only received a tidy sum from the sale, but he was also able to use the funds to purchase a new home "in a more private and attractive area for $14.4 million," according to the source.
"He loves the Malibu area and has been scooping up properties, he knows it's a great return on investment and he enjoys the process."
Another source informed E! News in March that Chris had acquired a 5,338-square-foot estate near the same private beach where he has other residences. Dakota was living with the singer at the time, according to the second insider.
The singer's band has always delivered songs that are motivational to its followers. They are well-liked throughout the world. May the singer continue to get such honours in the future.

THE REMAINS of a Roman building have been discovered during the building of a new school campus in Warwick.
Wall foundations for a large aisled structure – the size of a medieval church – were uncovered by Warwickshire County Council's team of archaeologists on the Banbury Road.
They have been digging on the site since October at the invitation of Warwick Independent Schools Foundation ahead of King's High School's relocation there from the town centre.
Constructed of local sandstone, over 28 metres long by 14.5 metres wide, the villa would have been the largest building ever seen in the region. Corn drying ovens, both inside and outside the structure attest to an agricultural function, although internal wall divisions at the opposite end of the building probably indicate a suite of domestic rooms.
Simon Jones, secretary for Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, said: "This is an exciting find and an invaluable experience for the schools, with pupils and staff having had opportunities to see the excavations at first hand.
£18.2million, and which is set to be completed in September next year.
Caroline Rann, who has been leading the winter long excavation, said: 'Very rarely do archaeologists discover a new villa, and this fantastic building could never have been predicted.
The remains of the building will be preserved under the new campus and plans are being developed to bring the results of the work to a wider audience in the forms of displays and educational materials, as well as a formal archaeological report.
Coun Jeff Clarke, Warwickshire County Council's environment spokesman, said: "The Archaeology Warwickshire team are experts in so many aspects of archaeological history and are always willing and able to use that expertise to assist on a wide variety of fascinating projects.

On Repentance & Defeating Despair: Letters to Theodore by St. John Chrysostom Volume 1 of The Early Church Today Series by St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey Press
About the Book Do you ever feel God is an oppressive judge looking to punish you? Have you ever felt defeated because of your sins or because you feel you are so far away from where you know you should be with God? Whether you have just fallen into a particular sin you are ashamed of, or have a repeated beloved sin which you feel you are unable to extinguish, this book is for you. St. John Chrysostom wrote two letters to his friend Theodore, who along with St. John and his friend Basil, committed to a life of celibacy and spiritual living; however, Theodore was unable to keep his commitments and later fell into lustful passions and strayed quite afar off from godliness. These letters are St. John's heartfelt words written in anguish to his lost friend pleading for his return. The purpose of this book is to help make St. John's letters to Theodore accessible to modern audiences. Various editorial supplements and revisions have been implemented to help achieve that end, including using modern words in place of archaic language, and providing summary captions to make it easier to understand and follow along, all while intently focusing on preserving the original meaning of the author. This marks the first of several, God willing, books to be published as part of The Early Church Today Series, which aims to manifest the richness of the early Chuch and its relevance to today. The Early Church Today Series The early leaders of the Church, tasked with shepherding Christ's flock, left us spiritual wealth that is too often neglected in modern times. The Early Church Today Series, published by the St. Mary & St. Moses Abbey Press, aims to help make that richness more accessible to readers, inviting them to see the applicability of the early Church to our walk with God today. By sharing practical selections from the writings of the early Church, aided by meaningful editorial supplements and revisions, each book will attempt to diminish impediments and bring to light what the Church has to offer.

COGnitive Gaming announces it is shutting down at the end of this year
COGnitive Gaming has decided to close its door at the end of this year. The organization made the announcement via Twitter and states, "Cognitive Gaming will cease operations on December 31, 2016. Thank you to all the fans and former players! We appreciated all of it." As of now, the team has not specified why exactly they are ceasing operation.
The eSports organization, which is stationed out in California, was founded back in 2013. The team started out competing in SMITE tournaments. Through hard work and determination, their team took home the Smite World Championship title in 2014.
COGnitive then expanded into other games after selling off their SMITE teams and reorganizing their rosters. Along the way, the organization then added Heroes of the Storm and Super Smash Bros. Melee to the roster of games that they competed in. One of the big recruits that the organization received during this time was top Smash Bros. player Justin "Wizzrobe" Hallet. He has recently confirmed that he will be leaving the team later this year.
It is sad to see COGnitive Gaming shut down as the world of eSports continues to expand throughout the world. We wish the members of COGnitive Gaming good luck on their future endeavors.
