Iron is essential for virtually all cells and higher eukaryotes due to its central role for oxygen transport, mitochondrial respiration, DNA synthesis and metabolic processes. Moreover, iron catalyses the formation of hydroxyl radicals, which can cause cellular damage but which also modulate the binding affinity of several transcription factors.1 Therefore, iron overload and iron deficiency exert subtle effects on essential metabolic pathways and on the growth, proliferation and differentiation of cells. Accordingly, iron is centrally involved in the regulation of cellular immune function. On the one hand iron promotes the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, including lymphocytes; however, lymphocyte subsets differ in their dependence on a sufficient supply of iron. The induction of experimental iron overload in rats resulted in a shift in the ratio between T-helper (CD4+) and T-suppressor/cytotoxic T cells (CD8+) with a relative expansion of the latter.2 Moreover, T-helper (Th) subsets respond differently to iron perturbations with Th-1 cells being more sensitive to iron restriction than Th-2 cells. In addition, Th-1-mediated immune effector pathways are much more sensitive to changes in iron homeostasis in vivo.2 As with eukaryotes, microorganisms have evoked multiple strategies to capture and ingest iron, which they need for proliferation and pathogenicity while immune cells on the other hand try to restrict this essential nutrient from microbes which is a central component of host …

What is restorative justice and does it work?
'They can still smell the perpetrator, they can still see the saliva at the edge of his mouth, they can still feel the hand on them'

The concept of restorative justice focuses on the harm done to a person who is the victim of crime and how he or she might be healed, whereas the judicial system tends to focus on the offender, on blame and punishment.
Restorative justice puts the harmed person at the very centre of the process. The perpetrator is given the opportunity to take part voluntarily, to meet his or her victim and understand the damage they have done. In successful instances, this can greatly assist healing where the victim is concerned.
There can be a problem where the perpetrator of the crime is deceased, as with the many child sex abuse cases at leading schools which have attracted such attention in recent weeks. However, in these instances the agency responsible for those perpetrators/abusers – the relevant religious congregation – can be held responsible.
In a restorative justice context, they act in lieu of "the criminal", if you like, and agree to meet the man or woman abused as a child.
Restorative justice does not work for everyone. It needs to be entirely voluntary and the perpetrator/or those acting in lieu must admit the crime.
'When I walked out of that room, I couldn't stop smiling. I felt elated. I felt absolutely and utterly empowered'
An example of what can be involved was relayed at a webinar on February 22nd last, held to mark the European Day for Victims of Crime, organised by the national Crime Victims Helpline and other support organisations.
Ailbhe Griffith, who was sexually assaulted in Dublin in 2005, told of the benefits of meeting the man who attacked her by way of a structured restorative process.
The assault lasted an hour and she felt he was "capable of killing me". Young men came on the scene and apprehended the man.
Informal process
After he was jailed, she was left feeling that the criminal justice process "wasn't about me, it was about the crime". When the man was on supervised release, she requested a meeting with him by way of the restorative justice system.
She got no rational answer from the man as to why he had attacked her, but she said the process was helpful and made her less afraid of the attacker. "When I walked out of that room, I couldn't stop smiling. I felt elated. I felt absolutely and utterly empowered."
At a press conference in Dublin on Wednesday of last week, the Spiritan congregation and four men who had been abused at their Willow Park junior school and Blackrock College, launched a restorative justice programme for survivors of historical abuse at institutions run by the congregation.
An expert in the area, Tim Chapman, has been appointed to lead the programme. It was, he said, "an informal process which allows somebody who has been harmed to engage in dialogue with the person or the body they say is harming them". It "requires a confidential process, it's totally voluntary for both sides. It only works if both sides want to go ahead with it."
'The actual nature of the abuse is depressingly similar but the impact on them, their stories, are all unique to them as individuals'
It means survivors "have an opportunity to meet the other side who they may hold responsible for being part of their harm and to tell their story".
Meetings with the Spiritans were "set up at the victim's convenience". He had been addressing the issue since September of last year and had met 19 former students of Willow Park and Blackrock College. "All different, all had been abused. The actual nature of the abuse is depressingly similar but the impact on them, their stories, are all unique to them as individuals."
Nine of the men had restorative meetings with Spiritain provincial Fr Martin Kelly, safeguarding officer Liam Lally and the principals of Blackrock and Willow Park.
After introductions "and sort of grounds that people be respectful, I invite the victim to speak", said Chapman.
'Graphic detail'
They would say "in often graphic detail what happened to them. And the extraordinary thing is that they remember it as if it was yesterday. And we are talking about things that may have happened 40, maybe more than 40 years ago," he said.
"They can still smell the perpetrator, they can still see the saliva at the edge of his mouth, they can still feel the hand on them. It's very difficult to listen to. And then they would talk about the impact it has had on their lives. That varies again. Some of them, on the surface you'd think are very, very successful people but underneath they're still carrying a very hurt 12-year-old child inside them and it's really quite moving to hear how they have been carrying that, that pain for most of their lives."
And there was "a certain anger that it's taken them so long for them to have the opportunity to speak about it. So they speak and then I invite the Spiritans to respond."
Chapman continued: "I must say Liam and Martin have responded with great compassion. They have believed the stories, which is very important because some of these individuals told the story when they were kids and were not believed. So it's important to be believed. They have apologised, they say what happened to you is indefensible [and] we're very sorry," he said.
'Quite often it's symbolic to them. They need to feel that something has been paid back for the suffering that they have experienced'
Some of the survivors asked "for a written apology" or "for financial support for therapy". Sometimes they asked "for some sort of compensation. Quite often it's symbolic to them. They need to feel that something has been paid back for the suffering that they have experienced".
Chapman was "so impressed by the people who have come forward". To him, "they are heroes that Blackrock should be proud of as much as their sporting heroes, their political heroes, their business heroes. These people show huge, huge courage and huge honesty."
For their part, the Spiritans had responded "with great compassion and great commitment", he said. "They've listened. It must be really hard to listen to these stories about harm that has taken place in a school or a religious congregation that you've been devoted to all your life. It's a very hard thing to hear but they've done it and I think it has helped them in some ways as well."

Tweet Flyleaf exploded onto the scene in 2005 with the band's self-titled debut album. The album sold more than one million copies and since then, Flyleaf has become a legitimate force in rock music. Their new album, "New Horizons," is set for release October 30, 2012. Guitarist Jared Hartmann phoned in to talk about "New Horizons."
Thanks for calling. I remember seeing you in 2006 on the Family Values Tour with Korn and Stone Sour. Do you enjoy doing those types of festivals more as opposed to regular touring?
Both I like for different reasons. Whenever we do a headlining tour it's a lot more engineered; it's usually just our fans that are there. You'll hear people singing louder and the energy is a little different. At the huge events, if there are so many people, that energy is very overwhelming. Sometimes it's nice to play the festival tours because you only have to play for 30 minutes as opposed to headline tours where you play for over an hour.
The band has a new album coming out called "New Horizons." This is your third studio album, the first since 2009. How was the writing process different on this album as opposed to previous ones?
The first single, "New Horizons," was just released. What has been the response so far and what can fans expect from the rest of the album?
Everything I've read so far has been good and we're happy about that. I was really excited about 'New Horizons.' It's kind of different from other songs we've done before. I love Third Eye Blind, bands like that. I also love Slipknot and Deftones so there's a lot of diversity in the record. I heard that some fans are a little disappointed with the song; they thought it was too pop. We have songs for them on the record so you don't have to worry. There's a good balance. A lot of our personal tastes come out and I'm really excited. I think it's our best record.
When you go out on tour, how much of the new album gets played?
We've been practicing a set and depending on set length and how long we play we'll probably play half new record and split between self-titled and 'Memento Mori.' We know there are songs we have to play.
Flyleaf has been around long enough to see changes within the music industry and how fans acquire media, whether it's by iTunes or another digital format. How do you market your band differently in this era versus back in the day when CDs were prevalent?
We have to be more aggressive on social media - Twitter and Facebook. When we started we barely had cell phones. That's something I've noticed that's different; how we interact with fans. They want to know all about you, what you're doing. Sometimes I'm good about it, sometimes I'm not. But we love our fans and how we impact them.

Colorado's Tiniest Town is All But Deserted
There are small towns, and then there's Bonanza, Colorado.
You see, Bonanza, Colorado is a former silver mining town that, at one time, was known as Bonanza City and had a population of nearly 1,500 people.
In the 1880s, a man named Tom Cook was out looking for horses and happened to come across some silver ore deposits. That's all it took for people to come from all over in the hopes of striking it rich in Bonanza. The silver boom, however, lasted only two years.
The most interesting aspect of life back then was how they arrived at census numbers. You see, they didn't come to the town and count the people. Instead, they would count the saloons and dance halls and, at the time, Bonanza had 36 saloons and seven dance halls.
Off Highway 285, south of Poncha Springs and Salida lies one of the smallest towns in Colorado. 16 full-time residents remain in the town that you will want to see, even if it's just for the old buildings that remain in the town.
Relive a bit of history.

The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont - Robert Barr
Circa 1906 - George Bell & Sons, London and Bombay - First Colonial Edition
Rare example of the 'First Colonial Edition' issued in 1906 as part of 'Bell's Indian & Colonial Library' [BICL], the same year as the First Edition of Hurst & Blackett. With bound in publisher's catalogue dated 1906, and BICL advertisements dated July 1905 and September 1905.
The scarce collection of Eugène Valmont mysteries, the most successful literary French detective of his era, and the first in a long line of humorous detectives. Created not by a French writer but by a Scotsman who had grown up in Canada and returned to the UK to forge a literary career, founding The Idler magazine together with Jerome K. Jerome in 1892.
Although Robert Barr's Eugène Valmont has Sherlock Holmes-like qualities, he is 'a much more tongue-in-cheek creation'. 'The title of the book seems ironic. We see very few of his triumphs. The very first story explains why he has had to leave France to avoid becoming a laughing stock and, in the rest of the tales, he fails far more often than he succeeds. Yet none of these setbacks ever daunts him or dents his supreme self-confidence. 'I have had my failures of course,' he acknowledges but he remains a happy egotist. Whether dealing with a gang of anarchists in 'The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower' or flirting with the supernatural in 'The Ghost with the Club-Foot', his sense of style and his almost Poirot-like conceit never desert him.' (Nick Rennison, from the preface to the Gaslight Crime edition).

From its initial visually arresting issue, for which Aubrey Beardsley was art editor and for which Max Beerbohm wrote an essay, 'A Defence of Cosmetics', 'The Yellow Book' attained immediate notoriety.
Published by John Lane and edited by Henry Harland, 'The Yellow Book' attracted many outstanding writers and artists of the era, such as Arnold Bennett, Charlotte Mew, Henry James, Edmund Gosse, Richard Le Gallienne, and Walter Sickert.
Although dominated by the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, and his decadent fin de siècle aura, many other distinguished artists contributed to the quarterly, notably Frederic Leighton, Will Rothenstein, Walter Sickert and Philip Wilson Steer; contributors to the text included Max Beerbohm, John Buchan, Baron Corvo, Edmund Gosse, Kenneth Grahame, Henry James, E.

The necessity of sharing of data and information gave rise to multi-user environment. In a multi-user environment, there is a concept of file server and user nodes or user terminals connected to the file server. There are various ways of developing a multi-user environment depending upon the connectivity. There is local area network (LAN) where nodes are connected with the file server with cables through which the data and information are transferred from file server to the different nodes connected to the file server and vice-versa. In a Wide Area Network (WAN), the nodes are connected through MODEM or through satellite. LAN: A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers that are connected together in a localized area to communicate with one another and share resources such as printers.
Intranet is a collection of private computer networks within an organization. An intranet uses network technologies to facilitate communication between people or work groups to improve the data sharing capability and overall knowledge base of an organization's employees. Intranets utilize standard network hardware and software technologies like Ethernet, WiFi, TCP/IP, Web browsers and Web servers. An organization's intranet typically includes Internet access but is firewalled so that its computers cannot be reached directly from the outside.

Bad Milo! (2013)
Comedy, Horror
Jacob Vaughan
Ken Marino, Gillian Jacobs, Mary Kay Place, Claudia Choi, Toby Huss, Patrick Warburton, Erik Charles Nielsen, Peter Stormare, Kumail Nanjiani, Steve Zissis
Monsters Fly Out of his Butt
Having had progressively worse stomach problems for a while, Duncan (Ken Marino) pays a visit to a doctor who after ultra-sounding his stomach says he has a polyp. But later on Duncan discovers the truth; he has a monster living in his intestines which is the reason for his horrendous stomach pains. But it gets worse as this monster is a vengeful little blighter who when ever someone annoys Duncan releases itself and attacks leading to a series of deaths which the police believe to be down to angry raccoon.
I wonder when Benjamin Hayes and Jacob Vaughan were writing "Bad Milo!" they found themselves bouncing around such terms as ass assassin, colon critter and gastric gremlin; I know I did as I watched this strangely entertaining horror comedy. But the thing is that while I was watching "Bad Milo!" I know I had a huge smile on my face I now find myself, 12 hours later, wondering whether it was just the comical shock of the movie which amused me at the time as I now find myself trying to remember what it was which I enjoyed so much.
In truth there are a couple of things which stick out in my mind as I think about "Bad Milo!" and the first is the humour of Duncan discovering he has a monster living in his intestines. Credit to Ken Marino for throwing himself in to delivering the screaming pain of painful bowel movements and he is well chosen because he has such a mild manner when he isn't panicking. This also gives the movies only one true horror shock which all I will say involves a trip to the doctors and a split second view which will throw you back in your chair.
The other thing which sticks out in my mind is Milo, the creature from Duncan's butt because here is a little monster with sharp teeth and a blood lust yet when it isn't on the rampage is cute. The credit not only goes to those who designed and built Milo but the puppeteers who operate the little monster who do such a wonderful job of making him a little terror one minute and this wide-eyed cute critter the next.
What this all boils down to is that "Bad Milo!" is a lot of fun when you watch it as it has that wonderful mix of horror, comedy and cute. But it isn't a movie which is so good that you will feel you need to watch it again.

Test Your Premier League Knowledge With This True or False Quiz
By Tom Gott
Sunderland v Newcastle United / Stu Forster/Getty Images
A lot has happened since the Premier League began in 1992. We've had memorable games, goals, incidents and a whole lot more.
The question is: how much of it do you remember?
Here are ten true or false questions for you to wrap your head around. No cheating.
1. Blackburn Rovers Won the 1st Premier League Title
We all know that Blackburn lifted the trophy early on, but did that success come in the 1992/93 season?
LIVERPOOL V BLACKBURN / Getty Images/Getty Images
Blackburn had to wait a few years before their success came along. It was in the 1994/95 season that Rovers got their hands on the trophy, stopping Manchester United - the winners of the first competition - lifting the trophy for a third consecutive time.
2. Alan Shearer Is the Competition's Top Scorer
Across his time with Blackburn and Newcastle United, Alan Shearer bagged goal after goal after goal, but did he score enough to take him to the top of the charts?
Newcastle United v Sunderland Premier League 1997 / Stu Forster/Getty Images
Of course it's true. During his time as a player, Shearer found the back of the net no less than 260 times, a whopping 52 strikes more than second-placed Wayne Rooney.
3. Eric Cantona Scored the 1st Hat-Trick in League History
More than 100 different players have netted three or more goals in a single Premier League game, but was the iconic Eric Cantona the first man to manage the feat?
CANTONA MANU / Chris Cole/Getty Images
Indeed he was. On August 25, 1992, Cantona led Leeds United to a 5-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, but instead of celebrating like the arrogant superstar we came to love, he flailed his arms around and pulled out some dance moves you'd expect from your dad after a drink or two.
4. Xabi Alonso Scored the Longest Goal in League History
September 2006 saw Liverpool's Xabi Alonso embarrass Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper by lobbing him from well inside his own half. Was it the longest goal ever scored?
Liverpool v Newcastle United / Clive Brunskill/Getty Images
Alonso's strike was only 63 yards out. The winner of this award is actually former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, who fired home from 102 yards against Bolton Wanderers in January 2012, although the wind probably deserves most of the credit.
5. Steven Gerrard Made More Appearances Than Frank Lampard
Eternally compared by fans around the world, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard's careers often go hand in hand, but did the Liverpool hero make more league appearances than his Chelsea counterpart?
England v Algeria: Group C - 2010 FIFA World Cup / Lars Baron/Getty Images
He did not. Gerrard managed 504 appearances in the Premier League, racking up 121 goals and 70 assists, but it's Lampard who takes this one. The Chelsea man managed 611 outings with 177 goals and 118 assists.
6. Thierry Henry Joined Arsenal From Monaco in 1999
Arsène Wenger reunited with Thierry Henry at Arsenal in 1999, but was it Monaco to whom the boss paid £11m for Henry's services?
Striker Thierry Henry holds up his shirt with the / SINEAD LYNCH/Getty Images
Wenger brought Henry through at Monaco, but the forward actually left France to join Juventus in early 1999. However, after the move didn't work out, Wenger pounced to land Henry's signature later that year.
7. Kevin Philips Was the 1st Premier League Player to Win the European Golden Shoe
Some of the most prolific goalscorers in history have shone in the Premier League. Was Sunderland's Kevin Philips the first man from the league to score enough to lift Europe's Golden Shoe award?
Kevin Phillips of Sunderland / Michael Steele/Getty Images
Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez all followed in Philips' footsteps. The Englishman plundered 30 goals in the 1999/00 season to win the award, and it was not until Henry's victory in 2004 that another Premier League player did so.
8. Wayne Rooney is the Competition's Youngest Ever Goalscorer
We were all told to 'remember the name' after seeing a 16-year-old Wayne Rooney net his first Premier League goal against Everton in October 2002. Has anyone younger ever scored in the league?
Wayne Rooney of Everton / Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
At 16 years and 360 days old, Rooney did become the youngest scorer at the time, but he didn't hold the record by the end of that season. James Milner broke it in December 2002, but his record was later broken by Everton's James Vaughan who, at the age of 16 years and 271 days, found the back of the net against Crystal Palace in April 2005.
9. Roman Abramovich Bought Chelsea in 2004
We all know that Chelsea didn't exist before Roman Abramovich bought the club, so when was that? 2004?
FBL-ENG-PR-CHELSEA-SUNDERLAND-TROPHY / BEN STANSALL/Getty Images
The 2004/05 season saw Chelsea win their first Premier League title of the Abramovich era, but the Russian billionaire actually arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2003. He flashed a little bit of his cash, but it wasn't until José Mourinho arrived in 2004 that things went up a notch.
10. There Have Been 10 Different Players Who Won the Premier League With 2 Different Clubs
Winning the Premier League with one team is hard enough. How many players have pulled it off with two different clubs? 10?
Are you ready? Here they come...
Henning Berg (Blackburn & Manchester United), Nicolas Anelka (Arsenal & Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Arsenal & Chelsea), Gaël Clichy (Arsenal & Manchester City), Carlos Tevez (Manchester United & Manchester City), Robert Huth (Chelsea & Leicester City), Mark Schwarzer (Chelsea & Leicester City), N'Golo Kanté (Leicester City & Chelsea), Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City & Manchester City).
Owen Hargreaves did not qualify for a winner's medal at Manchester City after playing just once all year, so he doesn't make the cut.


Ezra was a great man. He was orthodox but liberal and gracious while seeking ecumenical unity amongst the American Churches. He believed that Christian sects were as important as local bodies because they were all flawed in some way and therefore humility, graciousness and kindness should prevail amongst men who served Christ.
He improved the American college system by raising the standards and ceremony of Yale through a thorough and excellent liberal arts education. He was a great preacher, pastor and scholar. He did not diminish the role of Yale in providing preachers, he made them better candidates and improved the learned professions in his state and the United States.
He was not a fan of the New Divinity School of thought as it strayed from "Edwardian Divinity" as he understood it. He believed the New divinity was hyper-Calvinistic and that it offered those who most needed the good news, nothing but contempt and vitriol. Stiles was an "old Light" but resembled the Puritans more than the "New Light" preachers like Whitfield. Stiles foresaw that Whitfield and other itinerant preacher's teaching would gave way to anti-clericalism that weakened the faith and the church in Connecticut.
His vantage point was such as to give his criticism of the Great awakening and new divinity legitimacy, given the years in which he lived (which allowed him to witness the fruits of the movement), his generosity and intimate relationship with key players. He believed pastors retired to their ivory towers at the close of the 18th century and spawned the decline of the church in Connecticut.
Stiles always had time for those who disagreed with him and was universally respected for his piety, faith, learning, generous spirit, principled stance and graciousness. He had some warts though; arrogance and touches of worldliness which often tempts big minds in academia. However he is a great man in the history of the American Church.
This book covers a lot and was very dense. Morgan's work always ranks high in my estimation and this book did not disappoint. One of the best chapters was called "the books he didn't write" about Stiles' encyclopedic knowledge.
If you want a good book on Colonial theology leading up to the Revolution and want to read about a great saint, then get this one. It's worth it.


Our office submitted 6 entries to the 2007 American Inhouse Design Awards sponsored by GDUSA magazine. Out of those entries we received 3 awards—2 of which were for my projects!
4,000 entries were received and only about 15% (~600) received recognition. That's a pretty challenging ratio, so it feels good knowing they aren't just handing out certificates.

Board of Trustees sets tuition, fees, room and board rates; approves contracts
Author By Eric Jome
The Board of Trustees of Illinois State University set tuition, fees, and room and board rates for new freshman, transfer, and graduate students for the 2020-2021 academic year. Tuition and room and board rates will remain the same as the previous academic year. A change in mandatory student fees will result in a moderate increase in the overall cost of attendance.
The overall cost increase amounts to $487, or 1.97 percent, including a February 2020 Board-approved increase of $22 per academic year for optional student health insurance. The increase places total cost of attendance for a full-time undergraduate student, including health insurance, at $25,169 before any financial aid is applied.
New undergraduate students from Illinois will pay $384.13 per credit hour in tuition for the 2020-2021 academic year, the same rate as the previous year. New students this fall will continue to pay this rate through summer of 2024.
The mandatory student fees for the 2020-2021 academic year will be $107.78 per credit hour, a 16.8 percent increase from the previous academic year. Academic learning spaces, both on-campus and virtual, will be directly enhanced by the increase.
Residence hall rates, unchanged from the previous academic year, depend on the type of room (multiple occupancy, single or super single). Students will pay $2,667 per semester for a multiple occupancy room, $3,601 for a multiple occupancy room in a suite, $3,547 for a single room, $4,080 for a super single, $4,134 for a single in a suite, and $4,560 for a super single in a suite, during the 2020-2021 academic year. Housing rates for Cardinal Court apartments will range from $4,148 – $5,802 per semester, depending on apartment configuration and occupancy
Dining rates will remain unchanged from the previous academic year. A residential plan that includes seven days of unlimited meals will cost $2,258, or five days of unlimited meals will cost $2,148. A traditional plan of 19 meals per week will cost $2,307, or 14 meals per week will cost $2,180.
New out-of-state undergraduate students will pay $768.26 per credit hour for 2020-2021, the same rate as the previous academic year. Those students will continue to pay that rate through summer of 2024. In-state tuition for graduate students will be $403.59 per credit hour, while out-of-state graduate students will pay $838.30 per credit hour.
The Board of Trustees also:
Authorized University officials to expend funds according to the FY2021 Spending Authorization by Object and Function of Expenditure until the Board takes further action on the FY2021 operating budget. FY2021 state appropriations to Illinois State University are not yet known and this action allows the University to meet its financial obligations beginning July 1.
Approved the continuation of an agreement for FY2021 with EBSCO Industries, the primary periodicals and electronic databases vendor for Milner Library. The amount paid will remain at $2.4 million from general revenue, the same the library has paid for several years.
Authorized the University to enter into a six-month extension of the current agreement with Connect Transit for transportation services for the period of July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Negotiations on a new agreement are in progress but are not anticipated to be settled by the June 30, 2020 expiration date of the current extension. The agreement allows University faculty, staff, and students to use their Illinois State University Redbird Card as a bus pass. The extension is not to exceed $295,000. Funding comes from student fee revenues.
Honored Student Trustee Sarah Aguilar for her two-year term of service on the Board of Trustees.
Approved an amendment to President Larry Dietz's contract to extend the term to December 31, 2020. Dietz's current contract took effect on September 30, 2017, with a term ending June 30, 2020.

When studying mass and energy balances the steady state simulation with CHEMCAD is the programme of choice. But, when studying time dependent processes the add-on programme CC-DYNAMICS is the perfect tool to simulate control processes and the behaviour in columns, equipment and reactors. The most important unit operations in CC-DYNAMICS are the dynamic vessel, batch reactor, dynamic column with hold up, PID controller, control valve and ramp controller.
Complex pipe networks with pump, compressor, turbine, valve, and relief devices based on a CHEMCAD flowsheet. The simulation of safety and relief valves is carried out in accordance with DIERS technology. As a result the mass balance of all streams, their stream direction, physical properties and physical condition are obtained, with two phase streams and their regime being recognised automatically. Several fluid flow models can be chosen for pressure drop calculations. Performance data can be entered for pumps, compressors and turbines allowing the typical performance in plants to be simulated, e.g. pressure drop and mass flow in an isometric pipe system.

On Lisa Rein's Radar: So There It Is! Trent Lott Resigns!
So There It Is! Trent Lott Resigns!
Yippie! The first success of my "Bye-Bye 'insert corrupt politician here'" Series!
As of today, December 20, 2002, Trent Lott has stepped down as Leader of the Republican party.
The bloggers and the popular press really worked together on this one!
"In the interest of pursuing the best possible agenda for the future of our country, I will not seek to remain as majority leader of the United States Senate for the 108th Congress, effective Jan. 6, 2003. To all those who offered me their friendship, support and prayers, I will be eternally grateful. I will continue to serve the people of Mississippi in the United States Senate."
Born: October 9, 1941 in Grenada County, Miss.
Embattled Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) announced this morning that he is stepping down from his leadership post, just a day after Sen. Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) launched a campaign to oust him.
Lott said he would serve the four years left in his term, thus helping to insure that the Republican Party maintains its narrow control of the Senate.
"In the interest of pursuing the best possible agenda for the future of our country, I will not seek to remain as majority leader of the United States Senate for the 108th Congress, effective Jan. 6, 2003," Lott said in a written statement. "To all those who offered me their friendship, support and prayers, I will be eternally grateful. I will continue to serve the people of Mississippi in the United States Senate."
Lott, 61, had come under fire for comments he made Dec. 5 in support of Strom Thurmond's pro-segregation presidential campaign in 1948 during Thurmond's birthday celebration. Since then, the comments have erupted into one of the most remarkable and unusual political storms in recent memory. Lott had battled to keep his leadership job but in the past week a growing number of GOP senators had concluded that if he stayed, he would severely damage the party.
Lott had been the Republican Senate leader since 1996.
President Bush called the senator shortly after he issued his resignation, according to White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, and had a warm 10-minute conversation. In a statement released by Fleischer, Bush said that he considers Lott a "valued friend and a man I respect. I am pleased he will continue to serve our nation."
Earlier this week, Lott had complained that officials in the White House were undermining his efforts to remain leader. His allies said he was hurt that the president and other officials had refused to publicly support him and complained that there were behind-the-scenes efforts from the administration to oust him. White House officials had denied they were playing any role in Lott's future.
Frist, a 50-year-old heart surgeon and close ally of President Bush, yesterday called numerous GOP senators to ask for their support to become the next Senate majority leader if Lott were to leave.
He had no immediate comment today on Lott's decision, but senators from across the GOP spectrum announced their support for Frist. Among them were Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), a close ally of Lott's, Sen. Don Nickles (Okla.), who holds the number two spot in the leadership and had been considering his own run for the post, Sen. Pete Domenici (N.M.), Sen. Kit Bond (Mo.) and both Virginia senators, John Warner and George Allen. The Republican senators will vote on a new leader Jan. 6.
"There's a fast-moving momentum building up for Bill Frist," Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) told reporters last night after meeting with Frist at the Republican Senate campaign headquarters near the Capitol. "I can assure you the [Frist] team is growing very quickly."
Known for a cool demeanor that masks his intense work habits, Frist can get by on four hours of sleep a night, a holdover from his days as a heart-lung transplant surgeon. The Senate's only doctor, he comforted tense officials at a meeting in the Capitol basement after an anthrax-laced letter panicked Capitol Hill. His Senate Web site became a clearinghouse for information about anthrax symptoms and treatment.
Several Republicans said Frist would be a huge help in selling an expected Bush admininstration health care initiative to Congress and the public. Some Senate aides said Frist would help the party portray a more moderate image if he succeeded Lott.
Aides said his goals include adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare and making health care more affordable and available to low-income people. He promotes childhood vaccinations and wants to encourage the development of new vaccines. Much of Frist's agenda concerns prevention and treatment of AIDS, and he travels to Africa once or twice a year at his own expense to perform operations as a medical missionary.
Frist, who has three sons, earned an undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1974, graduated with honors from Harvard Medical School in 1978 and joined the teaching faculty at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in his native Nashville. He was elected in 1994 by defeating Sen. Jim Sasser (D).

The Writing Center is hosting its annual Graduate Student Writing Retreat this May, with sponsorship from the English department and the Graduate School.
The retreat's purpose is twofold. First, graduate students across the disciplines will be given time and space to write in a supportive atmosphere, amongst other writers. A second goal is to promote effective writing practices and to boost the dissertation- and thesis-writing process, thereby reducing time to graduation. All master's and doctoral students working on a significant writing project — dissertation, thesis, article for publication — are welcome to apply.
The Writing Retreat will take place over seven days, utilizing a combination of half and full days. Please visit the Graduate School's website for a complete schedule. Participants should expect to write for between three and five hours each day of the retreat. Participants should also expect to briefly reflect on their goals and progress with their peers. The retreat will also offer workshops on ETDR, citation management, and writing strategies. With support from our sponsors, the retreat will provide coffee and light breakfast snacks on the half days and bagels for lunch on the longer writing days. Participants will be required to complete a post-retreat survey on the final day of the retreat.
Important note: This retreat's purpose is writing; participants will not have their work edited and proofread by center staff and the retreat's purpose is not grammatical training. Rather, participants will show up with the materials necessary to write amongst peers and make significant progress on their projects.
"The retreat provided a great atmosphere for those looking to make significant progress on their dissertation. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I was able to accomplish throughout the week."
"It's a great way . . . to invest in your writing."
"It was helpful and nice to be in an environment that was solely devoted to just getting writing done. Having a system of accountability is really helpful."
"The retreat allowed us to step out of our normal busy lives, which offer plenty of excuses to not commit full days toward dissertating."
"The retreat program helped me to become focused on my dissertation. I was assigned to a group to discuss my daily progress with other students. It was very helpful that all of us in that group were working on our dissertations and had similar goals."
Applicants must commit to being present for the entirety of the retreat; we take this policy seriously! Absences affect the community of the writing group and are distracting to participants. Those accepted must sign a Retreat Contract indicating their availability for the entirety of each day, including morning check-ins with peers, all writing sessions, and completion of the post-retreat survey on the final day. If you have other commitments, however small, that would require you to miss any portion of the retreat, you are not eligible to participate.
Applicants must be working on a significant writing project — thesis, dissertation, article for publication.
Applicants must have completed source collection, collected data/completed their proposed work, and be ready to concentrate solely on writing during the retreat. The stage of writing you are at might differ depending on your discipline. As Internet use is prohibited during the retreat, you should be at a point where you can write from the data or research you have already collected.
Applicants should be those who are in a position to spend the retreat writing. Center staff do not teach editing during the retreat and will not be able to edit/proofread documents for participants.
The graduate student's advisor must consent to the student's participation in the retreat, by completing an Advisor Consent Form. A summary of participation and attendance will be sent to the advisor at the end of the retreat.
Applicants must be in good standing with their programs.
Applicants who are accepted to participate in the retreat must submit their $50 retreat fee by noon on Wednesday, April 24. We encourage applicants to talk with their advisors about sponsorship for the program; several past applicants have had the retreat fee sponsored by their programs.
Participants who have completed prior retreats are eligible to reapply.
Visit the Writing Retreat webpage to access the application and related materials. Applications are due at 5 p.m. Friday, April 5.
A committee appointed by the Graduate School will select 15-20 individuals to participate in the retreat. The committee aims to select participants who represent a broad set of disciplines. These applicants will be those who are prepared to use the time to write, rather than to research or to solicit proofreading/editing feedback on their writing. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance no later than Friday, April 19, and their $50 nonrefundable fee will be due by noon on Wednesday, April 24.
If you have questions about the retreat, please contact Cydney Alexis at calexis@k-state.edu. If you have questions about the application process, please contact Megan Miller at mmmiller@k-state.edu.


We are a practice that enjoys both contemporary and heritage projects equally, finding that one informs the other, adding a layer of richness to both. This aspect was fully explored when working on this grand house.
Illustrating the way in which RMA embraces a clear client brief, this exemplary house is the third consecutive build for a Belgian family who wanted their home in Australia to resonate with European references.
The process of research drew on the practice's fascination with ancient architectural principles and examined how order, structure, geometry and hierarchy play out in contemporary life.
This is a building of finely tuned proportion, where the scale is carefully managed to impart both grandeur and intimacy, the relationship to the outdoor space is maintained and the balance of open plan versus "rooms" finds equilibrium.
Central to the success of the project is the level of craftsmanship deployed throughout the building. RMA drew together a team that included the skills of Portuguese stonemasons, Italian renderers and British cabinet-makers, and sourced the very best imported tiles, mantelpieces, timbers, fabrics and fittings. As a result, the authenticity of every surface and every touch point has been ensured, and the bespoke finishes showcase the attention to detail.
The practice is aware that key material choices speak to the structural integrity of the space and these, combined with a high level of craft and an ability to source globally, have resulted in a distinctive home where all the elements align.

The Bachelor season 20 premiere recap: The Young and the Loveless
Ben Higgins begins his 'journey' with a unicorn, a mini-horse, and a dental exam
By Samantha Highfill
January 05, 2016 at 10:27 PM EST
S20 E1
Well guys, we're back. And I know what you're thinking: Our Bachelor is "just a normal guy" who likes to participate in physical activities in and/or around a barn. But don't worry. This is not going to be a repeat of 2015 with Chris Soules (though I wouldn't object to Ben doing some push-ups on bales of hay). Instead, our 2016 Bachelor is simply visiting his small hometown and playing some b-ball to symbolize that he's ready for "another shot" at love. So yeah, this show's just as subtle as it was in 2015.
Regardless, this sweater-loving 26-year-old man is ready to find love, and he's got the haircut to prove it. (Now if only someone would tell him that Warsaw, Indiana, is not an accurate representation of all of America, we'd be set.)
RELATED: Ranking Every Season of The Bachelor
What you need to know is this: Ben Higgins was rejected by Kaitlyn Bristowe on the most recent season of The Bachelorette, despite being very nice and very attractive. Also, he's young, he loves the word "incredible," and he likes to lean on things and look contemplative while standing in large fields. Did I mention that he's young?
Catching up with Ben's parents, we discover the very evident theme of the season. Remember that time Ben claimed he felt "unlovable" during Kaitlyn's season? Me neither. But apparently, it really struck a chord with someone. To be honest, all I remember from that season is Shawn's tight T-shirts and that one time Kaitlyn slept with Nick. But somewhere in between that, Ben said he felt unlovable, and it was in that moment that ABC realized its one true purpose: to make Ben feel loved.
And as far as Ben's mother is concerned, she has nothing but words of support for her son: "She's gonna be great no matter where you find her," she tells him. Clearly, mom's never watched this show. You really might want to watch what you say there, ma.
WANT MORE? Keep up with all the latest from last night's television by subscribing to our newsletter. Head here for more details.
On his way to find the future Mrs. Higgins (hope she's okay with changing her name!), Ben takes his new haircut to Los Angeles, where he meets up with "three of America's favorite Bachelors," otherwise known as the now-married Sean Lowe, the now-married Jason Mesnick, and Chris Soules, who just so happened to be in the city at the time.
Here to give Ben "helpful" advice, they go back and forth about how many women he should kiss. Chris says all of 'em! Sean says just to be careful not to do it in front of the other girls. Jason gives the advice to not "close off anybody." (And in his case, he means not even AFTER the final rose ceremony.)
Chris' final words of sage wisdom are that Ben is going to find something that he likes in every single woman. (Translation: Chris secretly loved Ashley S.!) The real moral here is that Ben's job is to make sure that everyone is comfortable (and hopefully he knew that before the guys told him).
With that, the Bachelors head out so that Ben — who gets a hotel room and not his own place? — heads to change for night one on his journey to find love that he's lovable.
NEXT: It's arrival time…
Welcoming us to Bachelor mansion is, of course, Chris Harrison, who claims that women have "traveled from all over the world" for this season. And by that, he means that they have one contestant from Canada.
Let's get to the arrivals…
Lauren B., 25. Fun facts about Lauren: She's a flight attendant who loves long walks on the beach. She also thinks you can hear someone else's heartbeat by simply standing in front of them. (To be fair, Ben said it first.) But more than anything, she loves a good pun, handing Ben some wings and hoping that he's ready to "take off on this journey together."
First impression: Direct quote from my notes: "Could've been worse." So there's that.
Caila, 23. Caila broke up with her real-life boyfriend because she saw Ben on TV and liked him. So she's stable. Also, be warned: When she likes someone, she charges at them, leaps through the air, and prays that they catch her. Luckily for her, Ben is quick enough to catch her, though that doesn't make it any less awkward. I'm thinking "Fate: Part 2" isn't going to be a fairytale.
First impression: Drop her. Literally. (Too far?)
Jennifer, 25. A small-business owner, all we really know about Jennifer is that she thinks "Ben and Jen" is too cute to forget. (Tell that to Jennifer Lopez.)
First impression: Forgettable.
Jami, 23. Here she is! Our world traveler all the way from Canada! And not only is she from another country, but she knows Kaitlyn Bristowe! Proof? She tells Ben that Kaitlyn told her all about his "really, really, really big…heart."
First impression: Awkward but cute.
Samantha, 26. Recently graduated from law school, Samantha prefers Sam — a good call — and gives us our first sob story of the season: Her father died when she was 13 after being diagnosed with ALS. But now, she's putting on her bright pink dress and making all of us cringe when she asks Ben: "Boxers or legal briefs?"
First impression: Tone down the cheesy, and she might have a shot (if only for her name).
Jubilee, 24. And the winner for least-subtle intro is Jubilee, who opens things up by firing a gun! Because nothing says love like violence! To be fair, Jubilee is a military vet. And yet, she claims there "will be casualties" on her mission to win Ben's heart. So you know she's a romantic!
First impression: Personally, I love you, Jubilee. I can't imagine Ben choosing anyone else. I mean, you're clearly the obvious choice. Again, love you!
Amanda, 25. An esthetician for an all-organic skin care and cosmetic company, Amanda's complexion is as clear as her voice is high. She also has two daughters and what I assume is a closet full of matching swimsuits.
First impression: I don't trust people who say "super cute."
Lace, 25. In case you thought Lace would be subtle, you were so, so wrong. Not only is she wearing lace on her dress, but her shoes are crazy loud, and then there's the fact that she tells Ben to close his eyes so that she can assault him on the first night. Just like that, Lace lands the first kiss, and possibly the first restraining order!
First impression: No, Ben. No.
Lauren R., 26. Lauren R. claims that Ben is her favorite Hoosier, to which I say, name ONE other Hoosier, Lauren. However, she might be serious considering that she's openly stalked Ben over social media for the last two months. She knows everything about Ben. But Ben doesn't get to know anything about her because this drunk lady just walked off without telling him her name. How's that for mystery!
First impression: Can you make a first impression if they don't know your name? If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? #lifequestions
Shushanna, 27. Is she speaking Russian? He thinks her name is Shanna. Oh god. Make it stop.
First impression: [Insert Russian here]
Leah, 25. You know that old saying: Men love a woman who can throw a football. It's my second-favorite saying, next to this one: Men love a woman who will bend over, show them all their goods, and hike them a football, all the while not really knowing how to play football because they say "hike" before they hike it. Classic, right?
First impression: Whatever the opposite of a touchdown is, this is that. A safety, maybe?
Joelle "JoJo," 24. JoJo clearly did a lot of thinking before coming on this show. She thought to herself, "What does a man want to see when he meets the love of his life?" And thankfully, she came to the only real conclusion: Nightmares of a half-woman, half-unicorn. Showing up in her unicorn mask, she tells Ben, "Unicorns do exist. I think I'm yours," as if he's just supposed to know what that means…
First impression: It started off on a bad note but got a little flirty at the end, so I'm not nixing this unicorn yet. (A sentence I've waited all my life to write.)
Lauren H., 25. Unlike JoJo, when Lauren H. thought about what Ben would want in a woman, she thought, "A woman who can chuck a shriveled-up bouquet at his head." And you know what? She was right.
First impression: I kind of like them, guys.
NEXT: Ben is seeing double
Laura, 24. Why did her telling Ben that he can call her Red Velvet feel so sexual?
First impression: I want a cupcake.
Mandi, 28. Mandi is "not your average girl." She lives her life by two simple rules: Embrace the weird and always floss. As a dentist, she's probably one of the people in your life that you'd least want to "embrace the weird," but here we are. She's prepared to give Ben an oral exam — NO — and all while wearing a huge red rose on her head. As she tells him when she gets out of the limo, "Maybe if things go well tonight, you can pollinate it later."
First impression: Wake me when it's over.
Emily and Haley, 22. Not only are these two twins — professionally — but they're from the only place professional twins could be from: Las Vegas. And although they've never dated the same person before, it might surprise you that they're open to the idea.
First impression: They get points for trying to make a He's Just Not That Into You reference, but I just can't. Can. Not.
Maegan, 30. A cowgirl from Texas, Maegan wants to give Ben an idea of what it's like to date her, hence her bringing her mini-horse along.
First impression: What does she have against full-size horses?
Wait, I take it back. Huey just stood on someone's dress. I love him. #HueyForBachelor
Breanne, 30. Aw, Breanne packed Ben a picnic! Oh wait, just kidding. She brought him some gluten to beat on the ground because "Gluten's Satan."
First impression: I don't think gluten is the evil one here…
Isabel "Izzy," 24. She wore a onesie and told Ben she "had to find out if you were the onesie for me."
First impression: A ONESIE.
Rachel, 23. She's unemployed and yet she shows up on a hoverboard?
First impression: Marry her, Ben! She's rich!
Jessica, 23. Landing the longest hug yet, she's either clingy or we're witnessing a love connection.
First impression: Contender.
Tiara, 27. If you thought her name was the best thing about her, boy were you wrong! Tiara is a chicken enthusiast. And for the few of you who don't know what that means — unlike the majority of the population — that means she has pet chickens that do everything with her (specifically Sheila). She even has framed pictures of them all around her room. She also has a framed photo of Ben. Translation: She's very emotionally stable and super great at conversing with humans.
First impression: No matter what, she'll always have her chickens.
Lauren "LB," 23. How has this been a long time coming? Did Ben just thank her for coming?
First impression: There's no hope.
Jackie, 23. Jackie came prepared…with a SAVE THE DATE CARD. Apparently, the two of them are getting marred on Monday, March 14, 2016, and they've even got a hashtag: #tohigginsandtohold. Creative? Yes. Too much? YES.
First impression: What do you wanna bet she already has a family album made?
Olivia, 23. Sure, Olivia spends most of her time talking about dimples, but I give her points for walking away mid-conversation and leaving him wanting more.
First impression: Ben's into it. (I'm kind of into it.)
So, with 26 very young ladies inside, it's time for Chris Harrison to make a cheesy joke, followed by someone handing Ben a ridiculously full glass of booze to get this night started!
NEXT: A drunk girl, a dentist, and one very charming dimple
After calling his parents to tell them about all the hotties that just walked into his life, Ben — the "god" — enters the mansion, where his welcome speech is quickly interrupted by Mandi, whom I will refer to as Rose Head from here on out. Ladies and gentleman, you know what time it is.
Outside, Rose Head literally gives Ben a dental exam. If I had to describe my worst date, it would be this. The good news is that Ben appears to be kissable, though I don't think Rose Head will have to worry about that. Once you've seen a man's plaque…well, you've seen a man's plaque.
Catching up with Olivia, it's evident that Ben is taken with this one-dimple beauty. And it's a good thing because she left her job to come here. Hope you're worth it, Ben!
But just as the women start to quiz Ben and occasionally throw a football at his face, another limo pulls up, and this one is full of the former cast members you never really wanted to see again! Enter Becca, Amber, and Becca's cleavage. Quick, important update courtesy of Harrison: Becca is still a virgin. Cool? Cool.
Inside the mansion, the women immediately start to panic about how Becca and Amber — but mostly Becca — have a clear advantage being in the house because people know them, to which I'd like to remind the ladies: People know them. Becca and Amber. I mean, some might even describe them as: "meh." So count your blessings, ladies. You couldn't have asked for less-threatening people.
So while Becca and Amber let Ben know they're here, Lace tries to wrap her head around the fact that she's "literally threatened by Becca." Literally.
Panicking that Ben is going to forget her, Lace steals Ben from Jubilee to one-up herself. (So she isn't threatened by Jubilee, the one who can fire a gun.)
Remember when Lace assaulted Ben earlier? Well, now she'd like to ask for another kiss. At least, if he can understand what she just said. "Is it awkward if I ask you for a better kiss?" she slurs, to which I'd like to say, "YES, IT REALLY TRULY IS." Not only are you kind of oddly insulting his kissing skills, but you're altogether being highly inappropriate.
Ben starts to say that he doesn't want tonight to be about physical connection when Rose Head steals him away. But don't worry, Ben is a class act, and he later tracks down Lace to tell her that he didn't turn her down. Well, he did, but he didn't want to hurt her very drunk feelings. But all Lace hears is that Ben sought her out, so she's happy.
Elsewhere, Harrison brings the first impression rose into play, to which someone — I'm not sure who — says, "One women will have security." Yes, one women will.
Lace is pretty sure that the rose — and Ben — is all hers, but Ben doesn't agree. He's currently swimming in a sea of women that he thinks are "way out of my league." And when it comes time to make a decision, Ben hands the first impression rose to Olivia. Guys, she left her job. Did he really have a choice?
With that, Harrison breaks up the fun. It's rose ceremony time! I don't know how you all are feeling, but Lace is pissed. Also, can we talk about how Rose Head could totally play a witch in The Wizard of Oz?
NEXT: Huey bids farewell
Without further ado, let's introduce Ben to his first rose ceremony. The lucky ladies continuing to next week are: Lauren B., LB, Caila, Amber, Jami, Jennifer, Jubilee, Amanda, JoJo, Leah, Rachel, Samantha, Jackie, Haley, Emily, Shushanna, Lauren H., Becca, Mandi, and Lace.
That means it's the end of the road for Breanne (and her bread), Izzy, Jessica, Laura, Lauren R., Maegan, Olivia, and Tiara. (And just like that, I'm pitching a Huey-Sheila spinoff.)
And this is the part of the show where I always hope one of the rejected women will say, "Well, attraction has to be mutual, so if he wasn't feeling it, someone else will. Bye." But instead, these 20-somethings cry about how awful their love lives are and how no one will ever love them. The only advice I'll give Breanne is this: I know a great boyfriend, and his name is bread.
But if you thought the drama was over, well, you've clearly never watched this show. While you weren't looking, Lace had a few more drinks, and now she is pissed that Ben didn't make eye contact with her during the rose ceremony. After all, everyone knows that a rose is not a rose unless there's eye contact involved. (Or something like that.)
Bet you wish you'd kept Huey now, don't ya Ben?
And that, my friends, is where our journey ends…for now. I'll see you all back here next week. If you need me in the meantime, I'll be convincing all expectant mothers NOT to name their daughters Lauren.
Chris Harrison hosts the veteran reality romance series. Will you accept this rose?

Nippon Life Insurance Company of Japan, one of the world's largest life insurance companies, recently announced a marketing sponsorship with the Chicago Cubs. The company's agreement is centered on current Cubs' player and former Japanese baseball star, Kosuke Fukudome. Say that name three times as fast as you can (make sure there aren't any children around first).
Nippon Life Insurance Company does have an American subsidiary in NLI America. NLI America offers group term life insurance products and accidental death and dismemberment products. Look for the company's logo every time you see Fukudome in front of a microphone.

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
In the U.S. criminal legal system, a prosecutor bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" of the crime for which he has been accused. This means that the proposition, scenario, or facts presented by the prosecution must be proven to the jury to the extent that there could be no "reasonable doubt" in the mind of a "reasonable person" that the defendant is guilty. If, after all evidence and testimony have been presented, even a small doubt affects any member of the jury's belief that the defendant is guilty, the burden of proof has not been met. To explore this concept, consider the following beyond a reasonable doubt definition.
A feeling of uncertainty about the truth, the reality of a situation or presented facts, or nature of something
To be uncertain about a thing; to be undecided in a belief or opinion
1175-1225 Old French douter
Acceptable to sound reason or judgment, logical

History of the Standard of Reasonable Doubt
The Western standard by which accused people are judged originated in medieval England, which held jurors to a strict religious standard in passing judgment. Prior to the "reasonable doubt" concept, passing judgment on an individual in a criminal trial exposed jury members to the edict that, whoever found another person guilty, was subject to the "vengeance of God upon his family and trade, body and soul, in this world and that to come."
In response to the difficulty in obtaining a conviction because of the religious fears placed upon jurors, the concept of "reasonable doubt" was introduced to the legal system in the late 18th century.
The Burden of Proof
The burden of proof is a requirement for one party in a trial to provide evidence that shifts the opinion and conclusion away from the opposing party's position to one's own position. How convincing the evidence needs to be to accomplish this in a court of law varies according to the type of trial. While the burden of proof necessary to convict a person of a crime is "beyond a reasonable doubt," a much lower standard of proof is required in civil matters.
Preponderance of Evidence – The evidence in a case is convincing that the facts as presented by one party are more likely to be true than not true. In some cases, the standard is held to a greater than 50 percent chance that the facts are true.
Clear and Convincing Evidence – While the requirement of clear and convincing evidence there is a high probability that the facts as presented by one party are true. While this seems very similar to the preponderance of evidence requirement, the requirement for clear and convincing evidence is actually a higher standard of proof.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt – The evidence presented by the prosecutor in a criminal trial proves the defendant's guilt to such a degree that no reasonable doubt could exist in the mind of a rational, reasonable person.
The reason the burden of proof in a criminal trial is so strict is that, while a civil trial may result in the defendant being ordered to make monetary payment, a criminal conviction may result in the defendant being deprived of his freedom, or even in his death.
Reasonable Doubt in Practice
In a 1995 trial that lasted nine months, former football player O.J. Simpson was accused of the brutal murder of his ex-wife, Nichole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. The prosecution presented both lay and expert witnesses, as well as a mountain of evidence over the course of six months in an attempt to prove to the jury that Simpson committed the murders.
When Simpson's rock star team of attorneys took over to present his defense, their only goal was to create even a small doubt in the minds of the jurors that Simpson had killed his ex-wife and Goldman. On May 15, 1995, O.J. Simpson, standing in front of the jury box, tried on the bloody leather glove that had been presented as a key piece of evidence by the prosecution, showing his hand could not fit into the glove. This gave rise to attorney Johnny Cochran's now-famous declaration, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit."
After deliberating less than four days, the jury found O.J. Simpson not guilty on both counts of murder. Although a huge amount of evidence, much of it accompanied by complex explanations, was presented to the sequestered jury, that one act of trying on the glove was perhaps the greatest influence in derailing the entire case. Members of the jury simply could not find that Simpson was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
One year later, the families of Nichole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit against Simpson. The jury in this civil trial believed the families' attorney who said, "there's a killer in this courtroom." With the lower standard of proof being "a preponderance of the evidence," the jury found Simpson liable for the deaths and award the families $8.5 million in damages. Simpson was subsequently ordered to turn over, not only his monetary assets, but his 1968 Heisman trophy, a Warhol painting, and his golf clubs.
