Allegations made in 1986 and 1987 that I made threats to a child were proven to be lies in a Supreme Court trial in 1988 when a jury acquitted me of charges which were based on those allegations.
Allegations made in 2012-2013 that I was at a crime scene in February 1992 are proven to be lies because I have been in prison since May of 1986.
Witnesses who are visited by ghosts and recover memories under hypnosis almost 20 years after the events in question, are not in the least bit credible.
Any suggestion that there is a connection between me and men said to be involved in a crime in 1992 are proven to be lies by the facts which have been well tested by the Courts in the distant past.
Allegations that I have committed a sex offence are proven to be lies by the fact I have NEVER committed such an offence, I have NEVER been question by the Police for such an offence, and I have NEVER been charged or convicted of such an offence.
The Facts art these
In February 1992 Prue Bird disappeared from her Glenroy home under
inexplicable circumstances. Prue's mother, Jenny Bird, has said that the initial
response of the Police was dismissive. As time dragged on, speculation, conspiracy
theories and urban-myths grew around Prue's disappearance to fill the void left by
a lack of action by the Police. Speculative theories and "memories" of events were
invented in an attempt to understand and explain what had happened.
Ms Bird deserves justice for her daughter and for there to be some type of
resolution of this tragedy. My thoughts and sympathy are with Ms Bird. Sadly,
however, Ms Bird has been the victim of people acting corruptly, abusing their
power and telling lies for their own petty personal motives which have nothing
to do with the truth or justice. Some of those lies have been about me.
The facts are these:
Paul and Julie Hetzel, Prue Bird's grandparents, were co-offenders of mine in
the mid-1980s, and when they were arrested the Hetzel's told a pack of lies to excuse
their crimes by blaming others. Part of that blaming others was to lie that
threats had been made against their grandchild by me and others.
I have never at any time threatened any child, and anyone who claims I did is
telling lies.
The facts on the record are, the evidence of Paul and Julie Hetzel against me
was proven to be false and it was rejected by the jury in the Russell Street
bombing trial. The fact is that I was acquitted of the charges which directly
related to their evidence and their claims that members of their family were
threatened. Yes, that is a fact! The claims of threats to Paul and Julie
Hetzel's family members were proven beyond doubt to be a pack of lies and they
were no relied upon by the Crown at the closing of the trial.
Please keep in mind that I really do not want to be revisiting these long past
issues, other people have dragged me into this for their own reasons. Apart from
apologising and expressing my regret at my actions, I have not spoken or written
anything about the crimes of my past on my website or in the 42 articles I have
published.
The deputy head of the Russell Street bombing taskforce Gary Ayres has said on
record that: "Mr Hetzel was a career criminal who…knew how to manipulate people,
which made it difficult for his [police] minders" (Sunday Age 10 April 1994). In the same article it goes on to say: "The men who minded Hetzel [in witness protection] had an added frustration: they were at the beck and call of a man they believed was involved in the murder of a colleague, Constable Angela Taylor, who died as a result of the Russell Street bombing. They simply hated the bastard. But they had to smile and try and keep him happy", one policeman said. (Sunday Age 10 April 1994)
It became obvious to everyone at the trial in 1988 that Paul and Julie Hetzel were
involved in the bombing and murder of Angela Taylor and other crimes, but they were
shifting blame from themselves to others by the use of lies and their protected
witness status. But the facts of this history are being re-written 25 years later
with no regard for the truth.
Sadly, something did happen to Paul and Julie Hetzel's grandchild, but this coincidence
with one of the lies which the Hetzel's invented to get themselves out of trouble by
blaming others, is just a coincidence and it does not make causation.
A man named Leslie Camilleri has claimed that he is responsible for the disappearance
and murder of Prue Bird. The facts are that I have never had any contact with this man in
any way whatsoever. I am advised that Leslie Camilleri was a 14 year old Ward of the State in NSW when I came to prison in May of 1986, and he did not come to prison in Victoria until 1997, which is 5 years after the disappearance of Prue Bird. Any person who claims here is any connection at all between me and Leslie Camilleri is telling lies.
It is claimed that a man named Mark McConville, now deceased, was involved in the
disappearance, and murder, of Prue Bird. The facts are, I have never had any contact with
this man in any way whatsoever. I am advised that Mark McConville was in prison prior
to my coming to prison in 1986, and our paths never crossed in prison before he was released. Any person who claims there is any connection at all between me and this man is telling lies.
It has been claimed a witness overheard part of a conversation between Leslie Camilleri and Mark McConville "saying something about doing something". My name was not mentioned and the "something" was not specified. The facts are, any speculation drawn from such vague evidence which is said to implicate me, is absolute nonsense.
It has been claimed by a witness under oath in Court, that she was visited by the ghost of
Prue Bird and told to come forward with what she knew. With the help of a hypnotherapist
arranged by the police the witness recovered a memory under hypnosis of me standing on the doorstep of the Bird's Glenroy home in February 1992. This evidence was allowed to be given in Court despite the incontrovertible fact that I have been in prison since May 1986.
Such speculative evidence and such obvious lies which people have claimed implicates me in the Prue Bird matter are absolute nonsense. And it is scandalous nonsense on such a level that it raises serious questions about the propriety of any legal process which would allow such lies to be spoken.
Any person who makes any claims, or reports claims that I had involvement in the disappearance of Prue Bird in 1992 are obviously involved in telling lies on a grand scale for their own personal motives which have nothing at all to do with justice for Prue or Jenny Bird.
As for other lies in the media and the urban myth about me let me say this for the record:
I have never committed rape, and anyone who claims I have is telling lies. The incontrovertible facts are that I have never been questioned by the police for the crime of rape. And I have never been charged with rape. And I have never been convicted of rape. These are the facts and any person who says anything contrary to these facts is telling lies for their own personal motives.
It is embarrassing and shameful to me that I have to make such statements. but I am faced with a situation where there are people who have an improper motive for telling lies about me with impunity and they are given voice in the public discourse. Please consider what you would do. You made some mistakes in your life and have worked very hard to move past those mistakes and reinvent yourself, and then people start telling whopping great tall stories on the back of those mistakes? Perhaps like me you would feel that you are torn between trying to maintain a dignified silence in the face of such ridiculous untruths, or you defend yourself and become exposed to more attacks. What to do?
I have been dragged into this matter which I have nothing to do with by lies and urban-myth, and by police abusing their power in an act of revenge against me. However, if Jenny Bird would like to contact me and meet me in person, then I would be more than willing to offer her my sympathy and explain the facts associated with my having no involvement in the disappearance of her daughter, and to explain how she has been re-victimised by people acting corruptly for their own personal motives which have nothing
to do with justice for her or her daughter.
I ask that people look behind the emotive claims and consider that many police officers, especially those who were in the police force at the time of my crime against that force, have a powerful personal motivation to drag me down by any means fair or foul. The police have a vested interest in keeping the real and the imagined versions, and my role as an evil spectre alive in the public imagination. I too have a vested interest, and that is to rehabilitate, reinvent and try to redeem myself from the public disgrace that was my life in the early 1980s. I have had a choice about how I behaved in prison and I made that choice in 1990 to rehabilitate and reinvent myself.
My crime was a very public one, so it is reasonable that my apology for it and my work at rehabilitating, reinventing and hopefully redeeming myself is made public as well. Part of my undertaking this personally and socially responsible project is the website about my work. But, there are people who have a short sighted and selfish vested interest in keeping me down as the bad guy when I am trying to rise up and transcend my past mistakes. So before making any judgement, please think about the motivations of the speakers; I am trying to make good, and they are trying to make me bad, which do you think is a better outcome for everyone?
Finally I need to say that I have been reluctant to dignify the lies about me by a response. The problem for me is that the police and the media have taken a When did you stop beating your wife?" approach, which carries as assumption of guilt in the way it is phrased, and any response can be dismissed as "Well, of course he says he's not beating his wife". I wrote to people in my support network and I defended myself when the story first broke, then I wished I had not done that because I was giving the nonsense more credence than it credibly deserved. I feel as if I am damned if I respond or not. However, some of the people who support me feel that I have not done enough, and that a dignified silence is just not adequate. The lies about me are out there in the public domain, and so now is my factual response which is available for people to consider for themselves.

Q: Is there an easy way to tell if these two SO(2)s in SO(4) are conjugate? I am currently interested in quotients of Lie groups by submaximal tori.
$G = Sp(1) \times Sp(1)$ double-covers $SO(4)$, as noted at The Quaternions and $SO(4)$. Define a circle subgroup $T = \{1\} \times  \{\cos \theta + i \sin \theta : \theta \in \mathbb{R}\}$ of $G$, where $i$ is a purely imaginary second coordinate for the quaternions. Then $T$ descends to a circle subgroup $S$ of $SO(4)$.
I think the quotient $SO(4)/S$ is a product $S^3 \times S^2$ of spheres, because the quotient $G/T$ is. (Right?)
Is $S$ conjugate to the block-diagonal $S' = SO(2) \times \{I\}$ subgroup of $SO(4)$?
The corresponding quotient $SO(4)/SO(2)$ is the Stiefel manifold $V_{2,4}$).
Intuitively, an element of this manifold is given by taking a unit vector in $\mathbb{R}^4$ and then an orthogonal vector, so $V_{2,4}$ should be homeomorphic to the unit tangent bundle $T^1(S^3)$, which should be trivial by Tangent Bundle on S^3 (because $S^3$ is naturally a Lie group $Sp(1)$ and left-multiplication translation of a basis gives a trivialization of the tangent bundle of a Lie group).
But that's not a particular reason to think $S$ and $S'$ are conjugate. Are they? Should that be clear?
How different can quotients $SO(4)/SO(2)$ be?

A: To answer your first question, actually, $SO(4)/S$ is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}P^3 \times S^3$.
To see this, recall that $SO(4) = G/\pm(1,1)$ is actually diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}P^3 \times S^3$.  In fact, an explicit diffeomorphism is given by the map $f:G/\pm(1,1)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}P^3\times S^3$ given by $f[p,q] = ([p],pq)$.  Notice that the $q$ factor (on which $T$ acts) only appears in the $S^3$ factor in $\mathbb{R}P^3\times S^3$.
Thus, using $f$ to transport the $S^1$ action to $\mathbb{R}P^3\times S^3,$ we have an $S^1$-equivariant diffeomorphism between the $S$ action on $SO(4)$ and the action of $S^1$ on $\mathbb{R}P^3\times S^3$ which is trivial on the $\mathbb{R}P^3$ factor and Hopf on the $S^3$ factor.  Hence, $f$ induces a diffeomorphism between $SO(4)/S$ and $\mathbb{R}P^3\times S^2$.
In general, if you have a covering of Lie groups $\pi: G\rightarrow H$ with a subgroup $K\subseteq G$, then you get a covering $G/K\rightarrow H/\pi(K)$.  The new cover can not have more sheets than the old one, but it can have fewer, depending on how $K$ intersects the center of $G$.
To answer your next question, no, $S$ and $S'$ are not conjugate.  This actually follows by the answer above together with your observation that $SO(4)/S^1 = S^3 \times S^2$:  $C_g:G\rightarrow G$, conjugation by $g\in G$ is a diffeomorphism, i.e., a single sheeted covering of $G$.  It follows $C_g$ induces a covering of $\leq 1$ sheets (i.e., a diffeomorphism) $G/K\rightarrow G/C_g(K_)$.  Since $SO(4)/S$ and $SO(4)/S'$ are not diffeomorphism (or even homotopy equivalent), $S$ and $S'$ are not conjugate.
But, there is a much easier way to see that $S$ and $S'$ are not conjugate.  Namely, $S$ in the basis $\{1,i,j,k\}$ of $\mathbb{R}^4 = \mathbb{H}$, $S$ has the matrix form $\begin{bmatrix} \cos \theta & \sin\theta & & \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta & & \\ & & \cos \theta & -\sin\theta \\ & & \sin \theta & \cos \theta\end{bmatrix}.$
This has eigenvalues $e^{i\theta}$ and $e^{-i\theta}$ each with multiplicity $2$.  On the other hand, matrices in $S'$ have eigenvalues $e^{i\theta}, e^{-i\theta},1,1$.  Since conjugate matrices have the same eigenvalues, it follows that no non-identity element of $S$ is conjugate to any element of $S'$.
Finally, a fun fact, since I can't resist.  The circle subgroups of $G$ are parametrized, up to conjugacy, by two relatively prime integers $a$ and $b$.  They are of the form $S_{a,b} = (z^a, z^b)$ with $z\in S^1$.  It turns out that no matter what $a$ and $b$ are, the quotient $G/S^1_{a,b}$ is always diffeomorphic to $S^3\times S^2$.  (It follows that $SO(4)/T$, for any circle $T$ is diffeomorphic to $S^3\times S^2$ or double covered by it).  The only proof I know uses the Barden-Smale classification of closed simply connected $5$-manifolds (well, just the Smale part).  My advisor once said that if anyone actually cooks up an explicit diffeomorphism between $G/S_{a,b}$ and $S^3\times S^2$, he would take that person out to any restaurant of their choosing.

Q: How to waiting for RACSequence finish it's task example i have 2 task need to do:
task 1: save all product from array into DB.
task 2: get products from DB.
Issue : task 2 running when task 1 is not finish yet. So i want task 1 finish and then task 2 will running after that
here is my code :
RACSignal *productsSignal = [[[[products rac_sequence] signalWithScheduler:

[RACScheduler currentScheduler]] flattenMap:^RACStream *(JMProduct *product) {

            return [self.storage saveProduct:product] ;

        }] then:^RACSignal *{
            return [self.storage getProductsFromLocalForModule:moduleId];
        }];

what i am wrong in this code above?
Thanks for answer and sorry if my english is not good

A: I think what you need here is the concat operation. You can concat a stream of signals into one signal which will complete when all the concatenated signals send complete.
In your example you have several save operations which you want to wait for to finish first (concat their results) and then execute the loading operation.
I would phrase it like this with RAC 2.x
[[[RACSignal concat:

   // concat the results of save operations
   // concat will complete when all the save signals complete

   [@[@"product1", @"product2", @"product3"].rac_sequence
        map:^RACStream *(NSString* product) {
            NSLog(@"Save product: %@", product);

            // do sync / async save operations and which send complete when finished
            return [RACSignal return:@"Save product operation complete"];
        }]

] then:^RACSignal *{
    NSLog(@"Load products");

    // do sync / async load operation which sends complete when finished
    return [RACSignal return:@"Load product operation complete"];
}] subscribeNext:^(id x) {
    NSLog(@"Save and load finished");
}];

Make sure to your concatenated save signals complete at some point.

WIMBLEDON 2015: Novak Djokovic Wins The Men's Singles Title
Admin Sports No Comments
Novak Djokovic has won Wimbledon 2015 Men's Championship after an epic four-set final against Roger Federer. Djokovic defeated his opponent 7-6(1), 6-7(10), 6-4, 6-3 after almost four hours on Centre Court.
After losing the first set to Djokovic, Federer played very well to win the second set. It is Djkovic's 3rd Wimbledon title and 9th Grand slam title.
"It's not the first time that I'll experience this particular feeling," Djokovic said before the match. "I'm going to try to use the experience from the first in order to get myself in a right state of mind."
Federer looked completely down in the fourth set. He started missing more shots and went down a break early on to Djokovic. While serving at 2-4, Federer looked completely broken. Finally, Djokovic broke Federer to win it, 6-3.

A 'Stranger Things' and 'Goldbergs' Crossover May Happen on ABC
A Stranger Things and Goldbergs Crossover May Happen on ABC
Goldbergs creator Adam F. Goldberg reveals he has discussed a potential crossover with Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy.
TVweb Contributor
Back in August, The Goldbergs creator proclaimed on Twitter that he is "100% game" for a crossover between his ABC series and Netflix's white-hot sci-fi series Stranger Things, which was given the seal of approval by Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy. It seems that this crossover is more than just Twitter talk, with Adam F. Goldberg revealing in a new interview that he does have an idea of how this crossover just may work. Here's what he had to say below.
"The crossover I want to do is Stranger Things. I have a scenario in my head that I don't want to spoil. The producer of [his upcoming ABC comedy] Imaginary Mary [Shawn Levy] is also a producer and director of one of the episodes of Stranger Things. We've discussed what that would look like, which is really cool."
RELATED: Stranger Things Creators and Netflix Are Being Sued for Stealing Ideas Yet Again
This revelation came in a new interview with TV Line, although, unfortunately, Adam F. Goldberg would not reveal any details about his crossover plans with Shawn Levy. It isn't known if Netflix would be on board with this crossover, and if they would allow their young stars to pay a visit to The Goldbergs. The ABC series is no stranger to referencing movies and TV shows, with their Season 4 premiere airing tonight paying homage to the 1980s classic The Breakfast Club.
Both The Goldbergs and Stranger Things are both set in the 1980s, with The Goldbergs set in Philadelphia and Stranger Things set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. It's worth noting that Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers, originally wanted to call the series Montauk and have the show set in Long Island, here the infamous Montauk monster surfaced years ago. The show's filming locations in and around Atlanta, Georgia could not pass for a beach environment, so they changed it to Hawkins, Indiana.
We reported last week that production seems to be under way on Stranger Things Season 2, which will span nine episodes, will be set in the year 1984, one year after the events of the first season. Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton are set to return. It's possible that, after filming Season 2, the Stranger Things kids could be available for a crossover in the back half of The Goldbergs Season 4, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Colston's Girls' School to launch 'transparent consultation' over name change
The school resisted calls to change the name in 2017
Colston's Girls' School and Edward Colston's statue which was toppled last Sunday
Leaders at one of the two schools in Bristol that bear the name of the slave trader Edward Colston have told parents that they will be embarking on a 'transparent consultation' over whether the name of their school should be changed.
Colston's Girls' School will launch the consultation in September, when it hopes to be back up and running fully after the coronavirus lockdown closure.
The school's principal Kerry McCullagh said since the Black Lives Matter protests and the toppling of the statue of Edward Colston last Sunday, she and the leaders of the school had been contacted by many of their students, both past and present, both urging them to change the name and others to keep it.
Today, Friday, the school's senior leadership team, and the Board of Venturers Trust, the academy trust organisation run by the Society of Merchant Venturers, announced they'd made a joint decision to 'launch a transparent consultation to determine whether the name Colston's Girls' School should be changed'.
The 20 other things in Bristol which commemorate slave trader Edward Colston
Ms McCullagh said the six week consultation would begin in September with the full support of the school's sponsors, the Society of Merchant Venturers and the University of Bristol.
"This will allow us to facilitate the necessary opportunities for our students to debate and discuss the issue with their peers in person, at a time when we hope all year groups will be spending at least some time in school at the start of the autumn term," she said.
"CGS is a proud, inclusive and diverse community whose students are curious and confident. We teach our students that their own voice is a powerful tool that can be used to influence change and we encourage them to stand up for important issues that matter to them," she told parents.

Since the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down and dumped in the Floating Harbour on Sunday during a Black Lives Matter protest, a number of statues across the world have been pulled down, and in Bristol, a number of the 20 or more buildings and businesses named after the man who industrialised the transatlantic slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, have dropped their name.
This week already, the Colston Hall has removed its lettering and the Colston Tower did the same and appears ready to have a new name.
Bristol has spoken - and most people are glad the Colston statue was pulled down
Earlier in the week, Colston's Girls' School announced it was immediately removing completely their own smaller version of the statue of Edward Colston and was reviewing their name. Today's announcement confirms they will be consulting formally over the issue.
"Following the protests in Bristol last Sunday, many of our students, both past and present, have contacted the school to share their feelings, including about the name Colston's Girls' School, which some students wish to keep and others wish to change. We are very open with our students about where the wealth of the school's benefactor came from and we recognise that the name Colston does not always sit comfortably.

"This is a very important decision for our school and we will place the views of our students at the heart of the consultation process, as well as parents/carers, our stakeholders and the local community," she said.
"We have already begun to develop a framework for the consultation to identify how different parts of the school community and the local community can contribute.

"Between now and the launch of the consultation in September, we will share relevant resources and materials with our students to help them consider the important question of whether Colston's Girls' School should be renamed," she added.
The school said the six-week consultation will conclude with a decision on whether to keep or change the name of the school and, if the latter, what the new name will be.
The school last came under strong pressure to change its name in 2017, when the Colston Hall and Colston Primary School announced they were considering changing their names.
But back then, the Society of Merchant Venturers dropped the idea with a long statement setting out their reasons.
Caroline Duckworth, the treasurer of the Society of Merchant Venturers, which runs the school, said it backed the idea of a consultation.
"As the co-sponsor of Colston's Girls' School, we are fully supportive of their plans to conduct a transparent consultation to consider renaming the school," she said.
"We welcome a new name that accurately reflects the school's vision and values. We also support Colston's School as they too enter a process of discussion about the school's name," she added.


Comes In Nice Special Fold-Out Sleeve..!
En avant la Zizique!, in collaboration with Éditions du Trainailleur, presents a true immersion in old Chicago with the real father of rock 'n' roll! In 1954, a young truck driver cut a bunch of singles in Sam Phillips's famous studio in Memphis, Tennessee; "That's All Right Mama" was one of the songs recorded, and it ended up on the first 7" released by a certain Elvis Presley. Within few months, the latter's name was on everyone's lips as the record entered every jukebox in the country as well as radio stations, the rock 'n' roll wave inundating the culture of millions of Caucasian youngsters. Eight years earlier in Chicago, a blues singer from Mississippi, a straight guitar player with an exquisitely expressive voice, cut a personal creation titled "That's All Right," this after having made a first draft in 1945 under the title "Dirt Road Blues." Backed by a solid rhythm section, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup had indeed, by doing so, signed the original of what later became a great rock 'n' roll standard. All the ingredients are already there -- the breaks, the riffs, the line-up, the chords, and the tempo -- confirming Crudup as the original composer of this tune. This devastating hit was so lucrative for Presley that he recorded two more of Big Boy's masterpieces -- "My Baby Left Me" and "So Glad You're Mine." There's no question of Presley's charismatic interpretation, or of his highly praised musical references. However, it is common knowledge that neither the king nor the producers nor the managers had made public the name of Arthur Crudup. With this release, the connoisseurs will once again recognize the magic of these post-war blues sessions -- and everyone else will definitely get hooked. That's All Right: An Introduction to the Father of Rock'n'Roll contains ten tracks from a forgotten hero without whom the rock 'n' roll revolution would surely have taken a different path.


LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Brian Urlacher looked at the talent on the roster and saw no reason why the Bears would miss the postseason for a fourth straight year.
Well, the drought's over and he thinks there won't be another dry spell.
The Bears will host the Seahawks on Sunday in a divisional playoff game after winning the NFC North and earning a first-round bye. Not since the 2006 team made the Super Bowl had the Bears been to the postseason, and one big reason they're finally back is the guys doing the tackling.
Not quite as ferocious as the old Monsters of the Midway, the defense has ranked among the NFL's stingiest all season after several mediocre years. Urlacher said this group is as good as the one that led runs to the postseason in 2005 and 2006.
The numbers back him up. The Bears ranked ninth overall on defense, second against the rush and tied for third with 35 takeaways. Opposing offenses managed just 256 points (16 per game), fourth-fewest in the NFL, and the 14 passing touchdowns allowed by Chicago was the league's second-lowest total.
Monsters of the Midway? Not quite.
Then again, the Bears have never resembled the bone-crushing defenses of old in their seven seasons under coach Lovie Smith. They were built on speed and technique and likely to bend but not break even when they were at their best. And in recent seasons, they were not at their best.
Injuries robbed defensive tackle Tommie Harris of his Pro Bowl skills and turned Urlacher into a question mark. Back and neck problems had limited him in recent years, and just when it looked as though he might be back to his old havoc-wreaking ways, he sustained a season-ending wrist injury in the opener at Green Bay in 2009.
That set a bad tone, and the Bears wound up going 7-9 for the second time in three years, leaving many fans calling for Smith and general manager Jerry Angelo to be fired. They stuck around, but the Bears didn't stand pat.


The pure and mineral-rich Dutch EARTH Water is bottled at a small water source named Anl'eau. This resource is located in the protected greenzone named "the Hunzedal" in the province of Drenthe. Anl'eau is named as one of the best water sources of Europe by water specialists. The production site is pumping pure spring water from a depth of approximately 150 meters. This groundwater has fallen as rain in the Middle Ages on "the Hondsrug"; at a time when people did not use harmful substances. After a long journey of approximately 1000 years through the ground, the water has absorbed many minerals. The water therefore is of a very good quality.
The nature park, 'Hoher Flaming' is amongst the largest nature reserves in the province of Brandenburg, Germany. The 'Hoher Flaming' is especially characterized by what ice age glaciers have left behind: sand, clay, gravel and rocks. Through the decades every single drop of rain is purified on its way through the various layers, protected from any environmental influences. Naturally filtered by massive layers of sand and rock, the water has been enriched with valuable minerals characterizing its unique purity, pristinely pure freshness and premium quality. Our mineral water is bottled at its source as one of the purest mineral waters in Europe since 1994.
The purity and quality is strictly controlled and regularly checked by our own as well as external recognized laboratories.
The 750 and 330ml Glass-bottle is ideal for hotels and restaurants and is made of 100% recycled material. In this way we contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable planet.
For the usage of EARTH Water during events or banquet, the 1 Liter PET bottle has been introduced.
This 500ml PET-bottle is ideal for on the road and during events or banquet, and is made of 100% recycled material. In this way we contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable planet.

Aaron Joseph Douglas Mauger (* 29. November 1980 in Christchurch, Neuseeland) ist ein ehemaliger neuseeländischer Rugby-Union-Spieler auf der Position des Innendreiviertels. Er ist der jüngere Bruder des ehemaligen neuseeländischen Rugby-Union-Spielers Nathan Mauger. Ihre Onkel Graeme und Stephen Bachop waren in den späten 1980er Jahren bis Mitte der 1990er ebenfalls neuseeländische Rugby-Union-Nationalspieler. Außerdem gewann ein weiterer Onkel namens Ivan Mauger sechs Mal die Speedway-Weltmeisterschaft.

Biografie
Mauger begann seine Profikarriere in seiner Heimat Neuseeland 1999 bei Canterbury in der National Provincial Championship (seit 2006 Air New Zealand Cup). Ein Jahr später debütierte er im Super Rugby für die Crusaders. In dieser Zeit gewann Canterbury 2001 und 2004 die neuseeländische Provinzmeisterschaft und verteidigte den Ranfurly Shield vom 23. September 2000 bis zum 11. Oktober 2003 23-mal sowie vom 5. September 2004 bis zum 24. September 2006 14-mal. Mit den Crusaders holte er außerdem viermal den Super-Rugby-Titel (2000, 2002, 2005, 2006). Im Jahr 2002 hatten die Crusaders eine perfekte Saison; sie blieben in allen Vorrundenspielen, im Halbfinale und im Finale ungeschlagen. 2003 und 2004 wurden sie erst im Endspiel bezwungen. Bis 2003 bzw. 2004 spielte sein Bruder Nathan ebenfalls bei Canterbury und den Crusaders. Dieser schaffte jedoch bei letzteren, anders als Aaron, nie den Durchbruch.

Mauger war Kapitän der neuseeländischen U-21-Nationalmannschaft und führte diese 2000 und 2001 zweimal zu Titelgewinnen bei den Rugby-Junioren-Weltmeisterschaften.
Im Jahr 2001 debütierte er außerdem für die neuseeländische Nationalmannschaft, den All Blacks, bei den alljährlichen Novemberländerspielen. Sein Bruder wurde ebenfalls in den Kader berufen, absolvierte jedoch kein einziges offizielles Länderspiel. Danach war Aaron Mauger bis zu seinem Weggang aus Neuseeland 2007 durchgehend in der Nationalmannschaft und erkämpfte sich schnell einen Stammplatz. Mit den All Blacks gewann er fünfmal die alljährlichen Tri Nations (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007) sowie 2003 den Bledisloe Cup, den sie 1998 verloren haben, von Australien zurück. Diesen verteidigen die Neuseeländer bis heute ununterbrochen. Im Jahr 2005 siegte er mit der Nationalmannschaft in allen drei Spielen gegen die British and Irish Lions und holte mit ihr den zweiten Grand Slam ihrer Geschichte. Letzteres bezeichnet Siege einer Nationalmannschaft aus der südlichen Hemisphäre in der gleichen Saison gegen alle vier britischen Nationalmannschaften, den sogenannten Home Nations. Außerdem nahm er an der Rugby-WM 2003 in Australien als Stammspieler teil. Dort scheiterten die favorisierten All Blacks jedoch im Halbfinale am Gastgeber und Erzrivalen, den australischen Wallabies, mit 10:22. Bei der Rugby-WM 2007 war er ebenfalls dabei, wurde jedoch von seinem jüngeren Konkurrenten Luke McAlister auf die Ersatzbank verdrängt. Bei der völlig überraschenden 18:20 Viertelfinalniederlage gegen Gastgeber sowie Angstgegner Frankreich, die gleichzeitig das schlechteste Abschneiden der Neuseeländer aller Zeiten bei einer Rugby-WM bedeutete, war er nicht einmal auf der Bank. Nach der WM unterzeichnete er einen Vertrag bei der europäischen Top-Mannschaft Leicester Tigers aus England.

Er spielte für den englischen Erstligisten in der Guinness Premiership und war dort Vizekapitän der Mannschaft. Mit diesen wurde er 2009 englischer Meister. Im gleichen Jahr scheiterten die Tigers jedoch im Finale des Rugby-Europapokals gegen die irische Mannschaft Leinster. In beiden Spielen konnte Mauger wegen einer Verletzung gegen Ende der Saison nicht auflaufen.

Im März 2010 trat er aufgrund einer Rückenverletzung vom professionellen Rugbysport zurück. Er hatte zuvor mehrere Kliniken im Vereinigten Königreich und Deutschland aufgesucht, um die Verletzung behandeln zu lassen und wieder spielen zu können, jedoch war es ihm nicht mehr möglich ohne unerträgliche Schmerzen zu trainieren. Im Juni 2010 kehrte er mit seiner Familie in die Heimat Neuseeland zurück.

Leaked Screenshot From Right-Wing Group Reveals Disgusting Acts Of Racism (DETAILS)
Since the taking of office by President Donald Trump, an array of political advocacy has erupted around the country, in an attempt to engage and empower young activists to get into politics. However, not all of these efforts have been made in a positive manner, with one of the most notable examples of detrimental activism coming from an organization called Turning Point USA.
The far-right conservative nonprofit, what boasts a strong relationship with Trump, held an event recently which featured Donald Trump Jr. as a keynote speaker. The organization's intentions claim to provide students with the knowledge and training to advocate for a free market, with limited government interference, similar to the platform many conservative groups promote. Charlie Kirk, the organization's founder and executive director, identifies Trump Jr. as a close personal friend, and has pushed in favor of the Trump administration since their taking of office.

At the same time that college-centric group is facing allegations of racism and illegitimate campaign activities, recent discoveries indicated the inherent racial biases that exist in the organization's leadership, and perhaps throughout their advocacy efforts as well. Screenshots given to the New Yorker identified Crystal Clanton, the former national field director who served the group until last summer, blatantly claiming her hatred of the African-American community.
Then-national field director for major conservative group close to the Trumps wrote in a text: "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story." https://t.co/8MnXBaXkul pic.twitter.com/o5nC5pYD2X
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) December 21, 2017
However, the organization's racial and discriminatory undertones do not stop simply with the black community. According to the report by The New Yorker, "Speakers at Turning Point events on various college campuses have been accused of going out of their way to thumb their noses at ethnic and cultural insensitivities…Milo Yiannopoulos, for instance…said that despite being gay, he hated 'faggots', lesbians, and feminists, who, he said, 'f***ing hate men.'"

In an attempt to influence young students on college campuses throughout the country, Turning Point has consistently funneled financial resources to help aid like-minded individuals when running for student government, in order to increase the chances of electing right-wing candidates.

— Elizabeth King (@ekingc) December 22, 2017
Various former employees of the organization have claimed in recent years, the apparent pattern of racial, cultural, and ethnic biases running rampant throughout the organizational culture, as is seen in their lack or nonexistence of minority staffers and employees. One employee, who was one of the few African-Americans at the nonprofit, claimed that she was fired on M.L.K. Day.
Although a major issue, the internal biases of Turning Point are not the only cause for concern. Employees and those close to the organization have emerged questioning the legality in some of their activities, specifically in regards to campaign finance legislation and side-stepping such regulations to promote conservative interests. A former employee of the organization has since claimed that Clanton, when still with Turning Point, instructed that she coordinate with wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Ginni Thomas, in order to help former candidate Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. The same employee claimed that Clanton, without permission, granted Ginni Thomas her email address for further development of the task.
New Yorker obtained internal docs from Turning Point USA that suggest the conservative group "may have skirted campaign-finance laws that bar charitable organizations from participating in political activity." https://t.co/cRYFfJR1hp
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) December 22, 2017
According to federal regulation regarding nonprofit activities, the law states that any 501(c)3 organization is forbidden from providing value or influencing political action in relation to campaigns, including employing student activists in any way to promote a specific outcome. With Turning Point already undergoing a plethora of controversy, the recent screenshot from Clanton and continued disregard of nonprofit operating legislation is likely to place the organization further in hot water.

OpenOffice is a free open-source office suite that is being run by the famous Apache Foundation but despite that fact, the future is not looking bright for it at all.
Ars Technica reported this weekend that the vice president of the project has warned about its retirement being a "serious possibility" due to the shortage of developer numbers working on the project.
We aren't surprised about this news and many of your reading this will not be surprised either because we remember when a chunk of OpenOffice's developer base left for LibreOffice just a few weeks after it was launched in 2010.
The success of LibreOffice's success has affected the parent project so dramatically that the project VP Dennis E. Hamilton warns, "needing to disclose security vulnerabilities for which there is no mitigation in an update has become a serious issue".
The security issue is so serious that the Apache OpenOffice team recommended that its users switch to Microsoft Office or LibreOffice as far back as July because a security hotfix was taking too long to be released.
Is There Hope For Open Office?
It's possible for OpenOffice to live on but that is only if there will be a flooding of developers to continue the project. One thing that is certain is that the office suite will have to rethink and restructure the project because a slow development and update pace is always bad news.
You ca read about the whole saga on OpenOffice's mailing list archive, and for a detailed explanation of what's going on you can check out Ars coverage.

Ciudad Universitaria, World Heritage Site

Ciudad Universitaria —CU for the locals— is a must-see for architecture lovers. The campus of the Universidad Autónoma de México is a statement of intent of a historic moment in Mexico. It is the Mexico of modernization process in the 50s, the Mexico that looked at the world and proudly displayed its identity values. It is a masterpiece declared a World Heritage Site which involved the best architects, engineers and artists of the moment.
The tour begins in the central square: A large open agora, in the style of pre-Hispanic ceremonial spaces. The courtyards are meeting spaces. Students enjoy the green areas, known as "islands". They chat, read, romance, play frisbee, run and cycle. Mission accomplished: this is a campus to be lived.
Look out for both the magnitude and detail. At the entrance to the main courtyard, there is the extremely tall Torre de Rectoría with three murals by Siqueiros. On the side, there is probably the most recognized image of CU, the Library, designed by O'Gorman and covered with murals depicting pre-Hispanic, colonial, revolutionary and modern Mexico. Next to it is the glass facade of the Humanities building and opposite is the Faculty of Architecture and the Sciences and Arts University Museum (MUCA). The Faculty of Engineering completes the large courtyard. A ramp leads to the second courtyard, smaller, dedicated to science. The Eppens murals on the Faculty of Biological Sciences and the murals by José Chávez Morado on the Faculty of Sciences stand out.
The tour ends at the Olympic Stadium, which is built into the physionomy of its volcanic environment and which Diego Rivera described as "an architectural crater".
UNAM provides free guided tours of the campus on Fridays at 1 pm. Visit its web page for more information. If you are coming with a group or need a tour in a foreign language, call in advance and make a request on (55) 5622 0362 or contact Adriana Gonzalez at aduran7@unam.mx.
If you're in Mexico City on the Day of the Dead, do not miss the monumental altars that are installed on CU.

My favorites of the month including places to go in and around DC, books to read, and a few other fun things.
Coffee Shop: Open City at the National Cathedral A cozy coffee shop in one of the oldest buildings on the grounds, this place is a must stop if you're near the cathedral. The history, stained glass, church pew seats, round shape, and lavender hot chocolate made it one of my favorite winter finds.
My siblings and I grew up going to steam shows in Westminster with my grandparents and cousins, so we were happily surprised when we visited this beautiful, modern farm winery. It's run by three siblings (two girls and a boy) and if Joanna Gaines designed a winery, this would be it.
Perhaps a random pairing, but these two started my 2019 off on an awesome reading note. I mentioned The Alice Network in my winter newsletter, but it deserves another mention because it was that good. Female leads, an incredible story, and historically-based.. I loved it. The 7 Habits took all month to work through because I was underlining and taking notes in my journal as I went. I thought I had read this in college, but I must have just skipped to the scheduling section (typical). This book has so much wisdom to offer and paired with this exercise made me reconsider my values, my paradigms I view life from, and my goals. Deep, I know, but a wonderful re-centering book as I continue in a season of grief.
Everything you need on a cold day, plus you get to feel healthy! I tripled the recipe for a dinner with friends and it came out just as delicious. Definitely a go-to recipe moving forward.
On days I work from home, I love making the most of it by playing music and lighting a candle. Carla gave me this one before Christmas and I have burned it almost every day since! Unfortunately it is discontinued, but if you see something similar come out, I would order it. The cedar, citrus, fraser fer scent makes it delicious for the whole winter season, not just Christmas.
Bonus: The Salamander Resort in Middleburg, VA (pictured above) I was fortunate enough to stay at the Salamander while photographing a corporate client project. It was my first visit and I now understand what all the fuss is about.. wow! Everything was beautiful, the staff was so nice, and it's definitely on my list to return to.
