The Prince of Wales Scholarship
ECP's Patron, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
The English College in Prague is delighted to announce that their Patron, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, has agreed to the use of his title in connection with a new Prince of Wales Scholarship, which will enable an ambitious Czech student from a disadvantaged background to study at the school.
We are inviting applications from students currently in Year 7 or Year 9 of their Czech school. The successful candidate will receive a full scholarship for six or four years at the English College, dependent upon their age on joining us in September 2019. The Scholarship will be awarded to a student who would not normally consider applying for a place at an independent school because of lack of funds and enquiries will be conducted into the financial status of the applicants' families before the Scholarship is awarded.
The ECP Scholarship Programmes
Headmaster of the English College in Prague, Dr Nigel Brown, said: "It will provide a sense of symmetry to the ECP Scholarship Programme. We will be able to celebrate our two Founder Patrons, HRH The Prince of Wales and President Václav Havel, by enabling two young people to benefit from an education at the ECP, starting in September 2019, which will be the English College's 25th anniversary year, having opened its doors to students for the first time in September 1994."
If you think your child would benefit from the sort of academic education offered by the English College in Prague, please download our application form here and submit the completed form to our Registrar Irena Smetánková together with a motivational letter from your child, of approximately 400-800 words, written in English, explaining why they would like to study at the English College in Prague. Candidates will also have to pass the school's entrance exams in English, Czech, Maths and non-verbal skills and be interviewed in English by a selection panel consisting of the Headmaster and three independent, external members. The closing date for applications is 23 April 2019.
The entrance exams will be held at the English College on 2 May 2019 and the interviews on 6 May 2019.

I am a behavioral and developmental pediatrician who specializes in the behavioral and developmental problems of young children. Although my work focuses on infants, pre-school and the early school aged child, I may see older children as well. Goals in my work include determining a child's strengths and weaknesses, helping parents better understand their children so that they know how best to parent them, and determining what services, if any, are needed so that their child may reach their maximum potential and feel good about themselves.
There are some occasions in which one consultation session suffices, but I typically perform evaluations over 3 or 4 visits.
Most encounters begin with a session with parents. During this interview we discuss variables such as medical history, genetic, social and environmental factors. Through parent history, I investigate individual variables such as cognitive performance (pre-academic and academic), social, motor, language and behavioral functioning.
I then meet the child for one or two visits, during which I conduct a child interview, perform a non-invasive neurological examination, developmental screening, and will observe the child at play.
Data is collected from school or other professionals by phone interview and questionnaires, and I review any prior evaluations.
The assessment concludes with a visit with the parents during which we review information collected. At this meeting, I discuss my impressions and recommendations.
Official diagnoses may be given, but emphasis is placed on highlighting a child's strengths and weaknesses rather than a diagnosis. Diagnoses are often useful in helping a family access, retain, or be reimbursed for services.
A family-centered approach is central to my work, as a child's behavior and development may influence family functioning, just as family functioning may affect the child. I practice evidence-based medicine, making treatment recommendations based on medical evidence. Treatment may include referrals to various therapists (occupational, language, social skills, mental health professionals, neurologists, etc.) Short term parenting sessions or child-centered cognitive behavioral therapy may be offered. I will consider medication for your child if we feel, together, that this would be in the child's best interest. I remain open to other types of therapies as well.

Daudi Okelo (ur. ok. 1902 Ogom-Payira, zm. 18 października 1918 Paimol) – ugandyjski męczennik chrześcijański i błogosławiony Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego.

Urodził się w wiosce Ogom-Payira w pogańskiej rodzinie z plemienia Aczoli. W 1916 roku przyjął chrzest i komunię świętą od misjonarza. W 1917 roku zgłosił się do przełożonego misji w Kitgum i został przez niego wyznaczony katechetą. Przydzielono mu do pomocy Jildo Irwa i razem z nim udał się do wioski Paimol, gdzie rozpoczęli pracę katechetyczną. Uczyli tam głównie dzieci.

W dniu 18 października 1918 roku do wioski, gdzie nauczali, przybyło pięciu ludzi. Próbowali zmusić ich do zaprzestania działalności misyjnej, jednak Daudi i Kildo odmówili.  Wtedy zostali zamordowani.

Ich beatyfikacji dokonał papież Jan Paweł II w dniu 20 października 2002 roku.

What the Pentagon Report Missed
By Richard Miniter 2008-03-18T04:30:48
When an Institute for Defense Analysis study seemed to announce that there was "no connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda," the media was quick to parrot the line of Warren P. Strobel of McClatchy Newspapers. Relying on a leaked executive summary of the report, Strobel wrote that "an exhaustive review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents" found "no evidence" linking Saddam Hussein with Al-Qaeda.
Led by the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes, the right side of the blogosphere was quick to point out that the report did contain evidence of such connections, focusing mainly on Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which merged with Al-Qaeda in 1997, and the Army of Mohammed, a Kuwaiti affiliate of Al-Qaeda. The New York Sun's Eli Lake and the Weekly Standard's Thomas Joscelyn found in the report evidence that at least five Al-Qaeda affiliates were funded by Iraq.
Still, both the MSM and blogosphere have missed some key points:
The report utterly demolishes the myth that Saddam Hussein, a "secular dictator," would never work with radical Islamists. The report contains a wealth of information demonstrating that Saddam Hussein was in touch with nearly every Islamist terrorist group in the Middle East and that his intelligence services had standing orders to monitor and reach out to any group of significance. That includes factions of Fatah, Hamas, the Army of Mohammed, and even Iran's favorite terror group, Hezboallah. Of course, Hussein also worked with a number of Al-Qaeda proxies. Claudia Rossett has a good summary here. But the bigger point remains unnoticed: secular socialist Saddam did work with Islamist terrorists, despite their "ideological differences."
The report was not "exhaustive," as McClatchy Newspapers and others described it. Virtually every news story and blog post says that the researchers surveyed 600,000 captured documents in the Harmony database.
There are two problems with that claim. The Harmony database contains some two million documents. So the report examined less than a quarter of the captured Iraqi documents -- hardly exhaustive. In the fine print, the report concedes it was not able to access many documents because they were being actively used by "other agencies" -- meaning one or more of the nation's 16 intelligence services, the State department, or other elements of the Defense department.
The second problem: The researchers didn't even examine all 600,000 documents available to them, the report concedes. Only 15% -- about 90,000 -- of those 600,000 documents have been translated into English. The remaining 510,000 documents were, in the language of the report, "screened" not read. Every Harmony document has a title, number, and several key words in English. Researchers simply sifted through the labels looking for "bin Laden," "Al-Qaeda" and so on. That isn't very exhaustive; officials who have used the Harmony database say that the key words and titles were typed in by hourly contractors who often missed the significance of what they were inputting. Besides, they were rewarded for speed, not thoroughness. Worse still, Al-Qaeda did not refer to itself by its name until after 2001. Instead, it was known as "the company," "the organization," and so on, and bin Laden was simply referred to as "the director." So it would be unusual for the phrase "Al-Qaeda" to show up in captured Iraqi documents. In short, the keyword search applied to 85% of the available documents is meaningless.
The report definitely missed documents that established the Iraq-Al-Qaeda connection. On Friday, I spoke with a former government official whose position required him to review captured Iraqi documents in the Harmony database. (He insisted on anonymity because his work was classified and he continues to consult on intelligence matters.) "I have been in that database and I saw an instruction from the [Iraqi] foreign ministry to its embassy in Havana, instructing them to cooperate with members of Al-Qaeda. The document named specific individuals we know are connected to Al-Qaeda." Yet, that document does not appear in this report. Why? Most likely, my source says, because it is still being used by the State department or the CIA.
The report was never supposed to be the final word on the Iraq-Al-Qaeda connection. Instead, it was supposed to mine the Harmony database for information that could be useful to military commanders. On page vii, the report lays out its mission. Getting to the bottom of one of the most vexing issues of the Iraq war wasn't listed.
So how did the press get it wrong? One official familiar with the history of the report told me what he believed happened. Kevin M. Woods, the main author of the report, wrote a factual report whose conclusions clung narrowly to the available facts. Somewhere along the line, a politically motivated supervisor inserted a one-liner into the executive summary, and that person, or another, leaked it to Strobel, at McClatchy Newspapers. The rest of the MSM dutifully followed Strobel's line. That made a mostly neutral report into a politically-charged weapon, much like the latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE).
The report does not say that there is "no connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda," as many in the media have summarized it. It states that researchers looking in essentially 15% of one-quarter of the Harmony database found no evidence of an "operational link." An operational link is one in which Iraqi officials order Al-Qaeda to carry out specific operations. There is a big difference between "no link" and "no operational link." The phrase "no operational link" concedes that there are many other types of links, such as training, financial assistance, exchange of personnel and so on.
The report ignores open sources. If researchers really wanted to be "exhaustive" in their investigation, they would have looked at the numerous "open source" links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda.
Before exploring the myriad links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, let us consider sources. To be persuasive, the best sources have to be authoritative and impartial -- and preferably independent of the White House. So the main sources for this article are the official reports of the 9-11 Commission, bipartisan reports of U.S. Congressional committees, and news stories written by staff members of overseas center-left dailies, mostly the Guardian and the (London) Observer as well as established center-left American publications, such as the New Yorker.
The main Administration source relied on here is Colin Powell, who was the most independent member of the Bush cabinet and certainly not a cheerleader for war in Iraq. (And I only relied on words that he did not later retract.) The other Administration source cited is CIA Director George Tenet, who was first appointed by President Clinton. I also relied on my own prior reporting in Egypt, Sudan and Iraq.
There are four kinds of undisputed connections between Iraq and Al-Qaeda found in open sources: meetings, personnel, money and training.
Photographs, taken by Malaysian intelligence in January of 2000, place Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, a suspected Iraqi intelligence operative, at key planning meetings with Al-Qaeda members for the bombing of the USS Cole and the September 11th attacks.
"In the spring of 1992, according to Iraqi Intelligence documents obtained after the war, Osama bin Laden met with Iraqi intelligence officials in Syria," Colin Powell told the United Nations. Why didn't researchers look for these documents in the Harmony database?
Sudanese intelligence officials told me that their agents had observed meetings between Iraqi intelligence agents and bin Laden starting in 1994, when bin Laden lived in Khartoum.
Former head of the bin Laden unit at the CIA and sharp critic of the Bush Administration, Michael Scheuer, writes in his 2002 book, Through Our Enemies Eyes, that Bin Laden "made a connection with Iraq's intelligence service through its Khartoum station."
Bin Laden met at least eight times with officers of Iraq's Special Security Organization, a secret police agency run by Saddam's son Qusay, according to intelligence made public by Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking before the United Nations Security Council on February 6, 2003.
Bin Laden met the director of the Iraqi mukhabarat, Iraq's external intelligence service in 1996 in Khartoum, according to Powell.
An Al-Qaeda operative now held by the U.S. confessed that in the mid-1990s, bin Laden had forged an agreement with Saddam's men to cease all terrorist activities against the Iraqi dictator, Powell said.
Saddam's relationship to bin Laden was documented while the archterrorist was based in Sudan from 1991 to 1996. Patrick Fitzgerald, an U.S. attorney in the Clinton Justice Department, prepared an indictment of Osama bin Laden: "Al-Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, Al-Qaeda would work cooperatively with the government of Iraq."
In 1999 the Guardian, a British newspaper, reported that Farouk Hijazi, a senior officer in Iraq's mukhabarat, had journeyed deep into the icy mountains near Kandahar, Afghanistan, in December 1998 to meet with Al-Qaeda officers. Mr. Hijazi is "thought to have offered bin Laden asylum in Iraq," the Guardian reported.
"In 2000, Saudi Arabia went on kingdom-wide alert after learning that Iraq had agreed to help Al-Qaeda attack U.S. and British interests on the peninsula," Powell said.
In October 2000, another Iraqi intelligence operative, Salah Suleiman, was arrested near the Afghan border by Pakistani authorities, according to Jane's Foreign Report, a respected London-based defense newsletter. Jane's reported that Suleiman was shuttling between Iraqi intelligence and Ayman al Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda's second-in-command.
Why are all of those meetings significant? The London Observer reports that FBI investigators cite a captured Al-Qaeda field manual in Afghanistan, which "emphasizes the value of conducting discussions about pending terrorist attacks face to face, rather than by electronic means."
As recently as 2001, Iraq's embassy in Pakistan was used as a "liaison" between the Iraqi dictator and Al-Qaeda, Mr. Powell told the United Nations.
Qassem Hussein Muhammed, a twenty-year veteran of Iraqi intelligence, was interviewed by New Yorker veteran reporter Jeffrey Goldberg in 2002 -- almost a year before the war. Muhammed said that he was one of the seventeen bodyguards assigned to protect Zawahiri on a 1992 trip to Iraq. Zawahiri, according to Qassem, stayed at the al Rashid Hotel in Baghdad. Qassem claimed that he was on the security detail that shuttled Zawahiri to one of Saddam's opulent palaces for a meeting with Saddam.
Both ABC News's Nightline and the PBS' Wide Angle interviewed a "twenty-year veteran of Iraqi intelligence" who told the same story. He was not named by Wide Angle. Nightline identified him by his nom de guerre, Abu Aman Amaleeki. "In 1992, elements of Al-Qaeda came to Baghdad and met with Saddam Hussein," Amaleeki said, "And among them was Ayman al Zawahiri." Amaleeki added, "I was present when Ayman al Zawahiri visited Baghdad."
Another visit by Zawahiri, in September 1999, was confirmed by former Iraqi premier Iyad Allawi in a wide-ranging interview with a reporter from the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat. Allawi said the Iraqi secret service in the new Iraqi intelligence service had found documents from the Saddam era that detailed the relationship between the Iraqi strongman and Al-Qaeda.
Allawi said that Al-Qaeda's number two al Zawahiri was invited to attend the ninth Popular Islamic Conference by Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri, Saddam's second-in-command. The Iraq government has the invitation and other documents.
Yusuf Galan, also known as Luis Galan Gonzales, is a Spanish convert to Islam linked to Al-Qaeda by Spanish investigative judge Baltasar Garzon. Galan is charged by a Spanish court with being "directly involved with the preparation and planning" of the September 11 attacks. In the course of their investigation, Spanish police searched Galan's home and found an array of documents related to al Qaeda -- and an invitation to a party at Iraqi embassy in Madrid. Galan worked for a former roommate of Mohammed Atta, who led the 9-11 attacks. The invitation used his "Al-Qaeda nom de guerre," London's Independent reports.
Documents found among the debris of the Iraqi Intelligence Center show that Baghdad funded the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan terror group led by an Islamist cleric linked to bin Laden. According to London's Daily Telegraph, the organization offered to recruit "youth to train for the jihad" at a "headquarters for international holy warrior network" to be established in Baghdad.
The Arabic-language daily al-Hayat reported on May 23, 2005: "A detained al Qaeda member tells us that Saddam was more willing to assist Al-Qaeda after the 1998 bombings of our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Saddam was also impressed by Al-Qaeda's attacks on the USS Cole in Yemen in October 2000."
Mullah Melan Krekar ran a terror group (the Ansar al-Islam) linked to both bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Krekar admitted to a Kurdish newspaper that he met bin Laden in Afghanistan and other senior Al-Qaeda officials. His acknowledged meetings with bin Laden go back to 1988. When he organized Ansar al Islam in 2001 to conduct suicide attacks on Americans, "three bin Laden operatives showed up with a gift of $300,000 'to undertake jihad,'" Newsday reported. Krekar is now in custody in the Netherlands. His group operated in a portion of northern Iraq loyal to Saddam Hussein -- and attacked independent Kurdish groups hostile to Saddam. A spokesman for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan told a United Press International correspondent that Krekar's group was funded by "Saddam Hussein's regime in Baghdad."
Le Monde, the Paris-based center-left daily, reported on July 9, 2005, that Ansar al Islam "was founded in 2001 with the joint help of Saddam Hussein -- who intended to use it against moderate Kurds -- and Al-Qaeda, which hoped to find in Kurdistan a new location that would receive its members."
A captured Ansar al Islam terrorist, Rebwar Mohammed Abdul, revealed to the Los Angeles Times: "'I never talked to [Abu] Wael [an Iraqi intelligence officer] but I saw him three times in meetings with Mullah Krekar [the head of Ansar al-Islam]. The mullah told us that Wael was a friend of his for 23 years and that they had met in Baghdad while Wael was an intelligence officer."
The New Yorker's Jeffrey Goldberg interviewed several prisoners held by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, one of the Kurdish factions fighting Ansar al-Islam. The prisoners related an intricate web of coordination between an Al-Qaeda splinter group and Saddam's intelligence service, the mukhabarat. Goldberg writes: "The allegations include charges that Ansar al-Islam has received funds directly from Al-Qaeda; that the intelligence service of Saddam Hussein has joint control, with Al-Qaeda operatives, over Ansar al-Islam; that Saddam Hussein hosted a senior leader of Al-Qaeda in Baghdad in 1992 [Zawahiri]; that a number of Al-Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan have been secretly brought into territory controlled by Ansar al-Islam; and that Iraqi intelligence agents smuggled conventional weapons, and possibly even chemical and biological weapons, into Afghanistan."
In Iraq in May 2007, I interviewed Adullah Rahman al-Shamary, a former assistant to Uday Hussein, Saddam's son. Al-Shamary was a liason between Hussein and Abu Wael, who essentially commanded Ansar al Islam, Al Qaeda's first Iraq affiliate.
An Iraqi defector to Turkey, known by his cover name as "Abu Mohammed," told Gwynne Roberts of the Sunday Times of London that he saw bin Laden's fighters in camps in Iraq in 1997. At the time, Mohammed was a colonel in Saddam's Fedayeen, a brutal strike force that reported directly to Saddam Hussein. Mohammed described an encounter at Salman Pak, a training facility southeast of Baghdad. At that vast compound run by Iraqi intelligence, Muslim militants trained to hijack planes with knives -- on a full-size Boeing 707. Col. Mohammed recalls his first visit to Salman Pak this way: "We were met by Colonel Jamil Kamil, the camp manager, and Major Ali Hawas. I noticed that a lot of people were queuing for food. (The major) said to me: 'You'll have nothing to do with these people. They are Osama bin Laden's group and the PKK [a Muslim terror group known for atrocities in Turkey] and Mojahedin-e Khalq [a terror group active in Pakistan].'"
After the end of major combat operations in Iraq, an Associated Press reporter visited Salman Pak. "Salman Pak, about 15 miles southeast Baghdad... satellite photos show an urban assault training site, a three-car train for railway-attack instruction, and a commercial airliner sitting all by itself in the middle of the desert."
Ravi Nessam, the Associated Press reporter, continued: "Speaking at an April 6, 2003 press conference, General [Vincent] Brooks said: 'The nature of the work being done by some of those people that we captured, their influences to the type of training that they received, all of these things give us the impression that there was terrorist training that was conducted at Salman Pak.'"
Nationally syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock sifted through the publicly available information about al Qaeda operatives training in Iraq's Salman Pak facility: "Sabah Khodada, [is] a former Iraqi army captain who once worked at Salman Pak. On October 14, 2001, Khodada granted an interview to PBS television program Frontline stating, 'This camp is specialized in exporting terrorism to the whole world.' He added: 'Training includes hijacking and kidnapping of airplanes, trains, public buses, and planting explosives in cities... how to prepare for suicidal operations.' He continued: 'We saw people getting trained to hijack airplanes...They are even trained how to use utensils for food, like forks and knives provided in the plane.'"
The following year, according to 9-11 Commission Staff Statement 15, bin Laden took the Iraqis up on their pledge. [Iraqi intelligence officer Farouk] Hijazi told his interrogators in May 2003 that bin Laden had specifically requested [from Iraq] Chinese-manufactured anti-ship limpet mines as well as training camps in Iraq."
Mohammad Atef, the head of Al-Qaeda's military wing until the U.S. killed him in Afghanistan in November 2001, told a senior Al-Qaeda member now in U.S. custody that the terror network needed labs outside of Afghanistan to learn how to make chemical weapons, according to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Powell asked: "Where did they go, where did they look?" said the secretary. "They went to Iraq."
The Iraqis, who had the Third World's largest poison-gas operations prior to the Gulf War I, have perfected the technique of making hydrogen-cyanide gas. (The Nazis used to call that gas Zyklon-B.) In the hands of Al-Qaeda, this would be a fearsome weapon in an enclosed space -- like a suburban mall or subway station.
CIA Director George Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee: "Iraq has in the past provided training in document forgery and bomb making to Al-Qaeda. It also provided training in poisons and gasses to two Al-Qaeda associates; one of these [Al-Qaeda] associates characterized the relationship as 'successful.' Mr. Chairman, this information is based on a solid foundation of intelligence. It comes to us from credible and reliable sources. Much of it is corroborated by multiple sources."
Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, entered the U.S. on a phony Iraqi passport.
Abdul Rahman Yasin was the only member of the Al-Qaeda cell that detonated the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bomb to remain at large in the Clinton years. He fled to Iraq. U.S. forces recently discovered a cache of documents in Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, that show that Iraq gave Yasin both a house and monthly salary. This confirmed ABC News reports from the Clinton era.
ABC News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reported on July 27, 1994: "Last week, [television program] Day One confirmed [Yasin] is in Baghdad...Just a few days ago, he was seen at [his father's] house by ABC News. Neighbors told us Yasin comes and goes freely."
Six months before the 9-11 attacks, which were plotted in Germany, Germany federal police arrested two Iraqi men suspected of spying.
"They are suspected of carrying out missions for an Iraqi intelligence service in a number of German towns since the beginning of 2001," said a spokeswoman for state prosecutors Kay Nehm in Karlsruhe.
On March 16, 2001, a Paris-based Arabic-language newspaper reported fresh details on the arrests. The Middle East Intelligence Bulletin translated the report from al-Watan al-Arabi:
Al-Watan al-Arabi (Paris) reports that two Iraqis were arrested in Germany, charged with spying for Baghdad. The arrests came in the wake of reports that Iraq was reorganizing the external branches of its intelligence service and that it had drawn up a plan to strike at US interests around the world through a network of alliances with extremist fundamentalist parties.
The most serious report contained information that Iraq and Osama bin Laden were working together. German authorities, acting on CIA recommendations, had been focused on monitoring the activities of Islamic groups linked to bin Laden. They discovered the two Iraqi agents by chance and uncovered what they considered to be serious indications of cooperation between Iraq and bin Laden. The matter was considered so important that a special team of CIA and FBI agents was sent to Germany to interrogate the two Iraqi spies.
In 1998, Abbas al-Janabi, a longtime aide to Saddam's son Uday, defected to the West. At the time, he repeatedly told reporters that there was a direct connection between Iraq and al Qaeda.
"The Senate Intelligence Committee report says that [Abu] Zubaydah was the 'senior al Qaeda coordinator responsible for training and recruiting.' Zubaydah, who is in U.S. custody, is often cited by skeptics of the Iraq-Al-Qaeda connection because he told interrogators that he thought it 'unlikely' that bin Laden would establish a formal alliance with Iraq for fear of losing his independence. But the skeptics often ignore other aspects of Zubaydah's debriefing. Again, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee report, Zubaydah 'indicated that he had heard that an important al Qaeda associate, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, and others had good relationships with Iraqi intelligence."
In 2001, Saudi Arabian border guards arrested two Al-Qaeda members entering the oil-rich kingdom from Iraq. "They were linked to associates of the Baghdad cell, and one of them received training in Afghanistan on how to use cyanide," Powell said.
Following the defeat of the Taliban, almost two dozen bin Laden associates "converged on Baghdad and established a base of operations there," Powell told the United Nations in February 2003. From their Baghdad base, Powell said, they supervised the movement of men, materiel and money for Al-Qaeda's global network.
Abu Musaab al-Zarqawi oversaw an Al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, Powell told the United Nations. His specialty was poisons. Wounded in fighting with U.S. forces, he sought medical treatment in Baghdad in May 2002. Official records discovered in Baghdad revealed that Zarqawi received medical treatment at the Olympic hospital run by Uday Hussein, Saddam's son.
When Zarqawi recovered, he restarted a training camp in northern Iraq. Almost a year before the Iraq war, Zarqawi's Iraq cell was later tied to the October 2002 murder of Lawrence Foley, an official of the U.S. Agency for International Development, in Amman, Jordan. The captured assassin confessed that he received orders and funds from Zarqawi's cell in Iraq, Powell said. His accomplice escaped to Iraq. "After the attack, an associate of the assassin left Jordan to go to Iraq to obtain weapons and explosives for further operations."
Powell told United Nations: "the Zarqawi network helped establish another poison and explosive training center camp, and this camp is located in Northeastern Iraq."
Powell added: "Those helping to run this camp are Zarqawi lieutenants operating in northern Kurdish areas outside Saddam Hussein's controlled Iraq, but Baghdad has an agent in the most senior levels of the radical organization Ansar al-Islam, that controls this corner of Iraq. In 2000, this agent offered Al-Qaeda safe haven in the region."
Iraq was clearly harboring Zarqawi before the Iraq war and refused twice to turn him over to U.S. Powell told the U.N.: "We asked a friendly security service to approach Baghdad about extraditing Zarqawi and providing information about him and his close associates. This service contacted Iraqi officials twice, and we passed details that should have made it easy to find Zarqawi. The network remains in Baghdad; Zarqawi still remains at large to come and go."
Abu Abdullah al-Iraqi was sent to Iraq by bin Laden to purchase poison gases several times between 1997 and 2000. He called his relationship with Saddam's regime "successful," Powell told the United Nations.
Mohamed Mansour Shahab, a smuggler hired by Iraq to transport weapons to bin Laden in Afghanistan, was arrested by anti-Hussein Kurdish forces in May of 2000.
"Hissam al Hussein, the former second secretary at Iraq's embassy in Manila. The Philippine government expelled him on February 13, 2003, just five weeks before the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cell phone records indicate he had spoken with Abu Madja and Hamsiraji Sali, two leaders of Abu Sayyaf, al-Qaeda's de facto franchise for the Philippines. The timing was particularly suspicious, as he had been in contact with the Abu Sayyaf terrorists just before and after they conducted an attack in Zamboanga City.
"Abu Sayyaf's nail-filled bomb exploded on October 2, 2002, injuring 23 individuals and killing two Filipinos and one American. That American was U.S. Special Forces Sergeant First Class Mark Wayne Jackson, age 40."
Vice President Dick Cheney sat down with Tim Russert, host of NBC's Meet the Press, in 2004. Here is how Cheney summarized the evidence:
RUSSERT: But is there a connection [between Iraq and al Qaeda]?
CHENEY: We don't know. You and I talked about this two years ago. I can remember you asking me this question just a few days after the original attack. At the time I said no, we didn't have any evidence of that. Subsequent to that, we've learned a couple of things. We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s, that it involved training, for example on BW [biological weapons] and CW [chemical weapons], that al Qaeda sent personnel to Baghdad to get trained on the systems that are involved, the Iraqis providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the al Qaeda organization.
CIA Director George Tenet and Secretary of State Colin Powell have also testified that the trail of meetings between Iraq and Al-Qaeda stretch back to the early 1990s. Tenet wrote the Senate Intelligence Committee on October 7, 2002 that the CIA and other American intelligence services had amassed "solid reporting" of contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda going back a decade.
Powell said that the U.S. had documented "decades-long experience with respect to ties between Iraq and al Qaeda," in his speech to the United Nations. "Going back to the early and mid-1990s when bin Laden was based in Sudan, an al-Qaeda source tells us that Saddam and bin Laden reached an understanding that al Qaeda would no longer support activities against Baghdad. Early al Qaeda ties forged by secret high-level intelligence service contacts with al Qaeda." "There is evidence of linkage between al Qaeda and Iraq," Powell told the panel at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on September 26, 2002. "There is not linkage to 9-11 that we are aware of, but I can't dismiss that possibility."
No connection? Well, Al-Qaeda and the Iraqi state certainly had a lot of meetings, money changed hands, some terrorist training occurred in Iraq, and a lot of personnel -- including Abu Musab al Zarqawi -- moved freely through the Iraqi police state. In short, there are connections.
None of this means that Iraq ran Al-Qaeda or had foreknowledge of its most gruesome attacks. It certainly does not mean Iraq was behind the 9-11 attacks or even knew about them in advance.
Still, for there to be "no connection" between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, it would mean no meetings, no money, no training and no movement of personnel. On the strength of much weaker evidence, Saudi Arabia is "connected" to Al-Qaeda. Why is Iraq the one nation given the benefit of the doubt?

Anatomy, Abdomen and Pelvis, Ovary Corpus Luteum
Rebecca Oliver

The corpus luteum is a vital, yet temporary organ that plays a crucial role in fertility during the luteal phase. It is an endocrine structure in females existing within the ovary once the ovarian follicle has released a mature ovum during ovulation. Secretion of hormones from the corpus luteum will stop within 14 days after ovulation if the oocyte is not fertilized and it then degenerates into a scar within the ovary, known as a corpus albicans. The role of the corpus luteum is the maintenance of a uterine environment that allows for implementation and pregnancy. This occurs by the release of pregnancy-related hormones, and regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary access through inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus which in turn decreases the luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) released from the anterior pituitary. The primary hormone produced from the corpus luteum is progesterone, but it also produces inhibin A and estradiol. In the absence of fertilization, the corpus luteum will regress over time. A corpus luteum develops each time a woman ovulates so that a woman will produce a corpus luteum numerous times throughout her lifetime.
The structure of the corpus luteum consists of parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells. Due to the vast diversity of cell types of the corpus luteum, gap junctions play an important role in intercellular communication allowing for the coordination of function of these different cell types.[1] The corpus luteum is made up of follicular theca cells and follicular granulosa cells, and before becoming the corpus luteum, the follicle forms a corpus hemorhagicum. Since the corpus luteum is transient, its regulation is via interactions between stimulatory (luteotrophic) and inhibitory (luteolytic) mediators. Little is known about this topic, but studies show that prolactin is an important luteotrophic hormone.[2][3] The corpus luteum has two fates depending on if there is a fertilized egg or not. If fertilization and implantation occur, by day nine the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the blastocyst secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the same hormone tested for the ascertainment of pregnancy. HCG is vital in the continuation of progesterone secretion from the corpus luteum. The presence of progesterone is critical in maintaining the lining of the endometrium, which is necessary for the implantation and growth of the embryo. The corpus luteum is then known as the corpus luteum graviditatis. The corpus luteum will not have this job for the remainder of the pregnancy. Instead, the placenta will assume the role of maintaining the pregnancy through progesterone secretion and the corpus luteum will degenerate around week 12. The alternate fate of the corpus luteum occurs if the egg does not undergo fertilization. It will stop secreting progesterone and will decay and turn into a corpus albicans. This decay usually occurs around day 10. Without progesterone maintaining the endometrium, females will shed the lining resulting in menstruation.
Oogenesis occurs in the female embryo before birth but does not complete until puberty. Therefore, an embryo will not form a corpus luteum. Once a female begins ovulating and menstruating, a corpus luteum will form in the ovary once the secondary oocyte releases from the follicle during monthly ovulation.
Blood Supply and Lymphatics
The blood supply of the mature corpus luteum is the highest per unit tissue of any organ in the body, which is why adequate blood supply, achieved through the recruitment of blood vessels, is an essential part of corpus luteum development. This critical process involves the breakdown of the follicular basement membrane, endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and development of the capillary lumina. Angiogenic growth factors are vital to this process.[1][4] The ovarian artery provides branches that supply the cortex and medulla. These branches are responsible for supplying the corpus luteum within the ovary.[5]
The suspensory ligament of the ovary carries the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves of the pelvic plexus that innervate the ovaries.
Although the corpus luteum has no muscle attachments, it affects an essential muscular pelvic organ, the uterus. As discussed previously, the corpus luteum plays an important role in producing hormones responsible for the decidualization of the endometrium. The hormones released from the corpus luteum cause the ovary to enter a luteal phase and the uterus to enter a secretory phase. During this time, the uterus is preparing for implantation and growth of the fertilized egg.[6]
It is crucial that the uterus can respond to hormones released from the corpus luteum. In some individuals, a luteal-phase dysfunction can induce a premature regression of the corpus luteum. This state then disrupts the ovulatory cycle. Steroidogenesis of the corpus luteum relies on the availability of cholesterol, achieved by the transference of cholesterol molecules to the site of steroid production. A dysfunction in this rate-limiting step can cause a decrease in the amount of steroid made, thus what can be released. Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein is an integral part of this process that plays an important role in progesterone concentrations during the early and mid-luteal phase.[7] A luteal phase defect is a common cause of infertility in women. Etiologies that lead to delayed endometrial maturation associated with luteal phase dysfunction include defective corpus luteum function, disordered folliculogenesis, as well as abnormal luteal rescue. Weight loss, Hyperprolactinemia, stress, hyperandrogenism, and athletic training may contribute to dysfunction.[8]
It is possible, although rare, to develop a corpus luteum cyst or hematoma. These cysts are characterized by intense endocrine activity and often produce excess progesterone. They can take up to three months to disappear, but they do usually regress. They can enlarge and rupture causing hemoperitoneum.[9] Patients on blood thinners may be more likely to develop a life-threatening bleed from a ruptured corpus luteum.[10]
The corpus luteum is very important clinically. What is termed luteal support involves the administration of progestins to encourage the uterine lining to support an implanted fertilized egg. These progestins complement the corpus luteum. A luteal phase defect results from the inability of the lining of the uterus to respond to hormones produced from the corpus luteum, which is a common cause of infertility. Another clinically significant topic concerning the corpus luteum is the use of oral contraceptives. Combined oral contraceptive pills contain two hormones, estrogen, and progesterone which suppress FSH and LH, thus inhibiting ovulation. Additionally, this suppression will cause degeneration of the corpus luteum resulting in a drop in progesterone levels, which inhibits normal implantation of the fertilized ova and placental attachment. In addition to the importance of progesterone in maintaining pregnancy, the corpus luteum also releases relaxin which softens the pubic symphysis for parturition. Another clinically significant role of the corpus luteum is how exogenous hormones may manipulate it. The belief is that the supraphysiologic levels of steroids secreted during the luteal phase in patients undergoing IVF causes a corpus luteum dysfunction; this is because of the inhibition of LH release secondary to the secretion of these hormones that act via negative feedback actions at the hypothalamic-pituitary axis level, thus suppressing stimulation of progesterone. Exogenous progesterone or HCG can provide essential luteal support in patients undergoing IVF.[7]
It is essential to consider radiological findings of the corpus luteum because they may be interpreted as a pathologic finding. Differential diagnoses to consider include endometrioma, ectopic pregnancy, tubo-ovarian abscess, degeneration of a fibroid, and ovarian neoplasia. The normal radiological findings of the corpus luteum should be a thick-walled cysts crenulated inner margin and internal echoes with a "ring of fire" peripheral vascularity.[11]

Эрнест Ли Хадсон (; ) — американский актёр.

Биография
Эрнест Ли Хадсон родился 17 декабря 1945 года в городе Бентон-Харбор, штат Мичиган, США. Своего отца он не знал, а мать, Мэгги Дональд, умерла от туберкулёза, когда Эрни было два месяца, поэтому будущего актёра воспитывала бабушка со стороны матери Аррана Дональд. Хадсон окончил государственный университет Уэйна, а позднее — Йельскую школу драмы; затем поступил в докторантуру Миннесотского университета, но не завершил обучение.

За свою карьеру Эрни снялся в более чем 220 фильмах и сериалах. Известность ему принесла роль Уинстона Зеддмора в фильмах Охотники за привидениями и «Охотники за привидениями 2». Хадсон прослушивался на роль того же персонажа в мультсериал «Настоящие охотники за привидениями», однако роль в итоге получил Арсенио Холл.

Личная жизнь

С 1963 по 1982 год был женат на Дженни Мур, с которой воспитывал двух сыновей — Эрни и Рахмана. С 25 мая 1985 года женат на Линде Кингсберг, с которой воспитывает ещё двух сыновей — Эндрю и Росса.

St Francis Links is in company with the Industry's best providers!
Liezl, Eugenie and their team have been providing memorable wedding experiences for hundreds of brides and grooms here at St Francis Links. Now, the brides themselves have voted for their best venues, catering, accommodation and service - St Francis Links featured in the top five in all categories! Keep us the great work and passion for presenting the couples with the best of the best! Oh, they don't have a category for Best Golf Course for the Wedding family - if they did, we would win that one hands down!!! Ask the grooms!
We are having our best year ever!
The Club did extremely well in the third quarter, April to June, with spectacular events taking place in the Club and on the course. The biggest surprise of all was the addition of the National Senior Inter-Provincials to our schedule after the budget was submitted and accepted last August. I have lobbied through the years with Eastern Cape Golf, SAGA, Women's Golf, Golf RSA and the Sunshine Tour for events that will showcase the Estate and our facilities. The events have raised our profile in the marketplace and led to more events and good exposure. I must note that a member asked why we host juniors as they mess up our course. My response is quite simple – they represent the future of the game. We host top level golfers who respect this course and share their good support for SFL with others. Maybe the best event was the hosting of the Senior Inter-Prov as many of the participants are top players in the regions and known and respected members in their Clubs. The event was a roaring success where the standing ovation at the final prizegiving dinner said it all. They will become great ambassadors.
The National Women's Senior Championships followed in May (budgeted) and this tournament also highlighted our quality of food and service which came in the form of the opening and closing functions. The course was prepared beautifully, and the ladies were treated as members for their stay. This is the event I lobbied for in 2012 and we shared the event with the Bay Club. Their course received some timely rain and looked fantastic for the tournament. The week showcased St Francis Bay in a perfect light as the weather once again, performed for us.
In June, we secured another Nomads National Junior Order of Merit where past winners and competitors, Jovan Rebula, British Amateur Champion, Wilco Nienaber, British Stroke play Champion, Christo Lampbrecht, SA Amateur and Irish Champion and Martin Vorster, British Junior Champion,have all competed here. I'm sure we provided the test that gave them all the confidence to compete at the game's highest level.
From these guys taking lessons to this guy raising the trophy!
Join us and we'll explain SLOPE and the upcoming Rules for 2019!
On Monday, 13 August at 17h15, the Golf Team will address the new slope rating system and what it means for you all as members here, what changes will be implemented in course set-up (compliance) and touch on the major changes in the Rules of Golf for 2019. Set aside an hour and book with the Golf Shop team on 042 200 4520. Stay on for Monday Night Dinner at YOUR Club.
Over the past 5 years, a number of our property owners enjoy participating in parkrun on our estate each Saturday morning. Averaging 130 participants each week, parkrun (always spelled with a small "p" and as one word), has seen a total of 169,855km walked or run on our estate thus far! And this week, resident Marlene Webber completed her 100th parkrun! Congrats Marlene!
Our tour to St Francis was truly memorable and you, and your team of professionals, made us feel like celebrities although we didn't come close to playing like it! You have made 15 guys your new ambassadors and justified, why I told them beforehand, that SF Links is the best course in the land.
Thank you for the effort and making us feel most welcome.
Eugenie - thank you for your organising of everything beforehand - clockwork!

What's it really like to run a start-up business?
Three entrepreneurs, three stories: The founders of MyFlashTrash, Kano, and Cuckoo share their business insights, motivations and mistakes...
Updated: Mar 26, 2019 Published: May 18, 2016
Some people start a business pursuing a "dream" of becoming the next Richard Branson or Mark Zuckerberg with the goal to build a $1bn 'unicorn' company.
Yet, for many other budding entrepreneurs, this "dream" is in fact more about "changing the system" and bringing a disruptive approach to an established industry.
The latter is true for Amber Atherton, Alex Klein, and Anna Mackenzie; the founders of MyFlashTrash, Kano and Cuckoo, who recently revealed their start-up motivations and highlighted the realities of running a start-up business.
Speaking at last month's Millennial 20/20 Summit, the trio shared their stories, talked openly and honestly about what it's like to have to answer to investors, and explained why as much as you might want to, you can't always say 'yes' to everything.
If you're thinking of starting a business, or even if you've already embarked on your start-up journey, the following discussion should help inspire you and give you an insight into what it's really like to run a fast-growing start-up…
The story behind the businesses
Amber Atherton: "MyFlashTrash is an e-commerce company and marketplace that sells charm jewellery amongst other things. I started the business when I was 16 and it has evolved ever since. I have a team of four and we're based in Shoreditch, we raised venture capital (VC) money last year and we're now looking to expand in the US. [The business is] valued at £5m."
Anna Mackenzie: "Cuckoo makes bircher muesli which is an on-the-go breakfast pot with yoghurt, oats, and fruit mixed altogether. I co-founded the company with my best friend Lucy [Wright] about two years ago. We launched into Selfridges and we now supply some Tesco and Waitrose stores and Ocado as well. We're all about great taste and interesting flavours- so no strawberry and banana – […] it's about providing something for the food adventurer."
Alex Klein: "I'm co-founder and CEO of Kano. Three years ago, I was a journalist and, at the time, the journalism industry was falling apart. I was working as a business in tech reporter in the US trying to demystify complicated subjects and I then moved over to England. I encountered a little brain, a little circuit board called The Raspberry Pi, hackers were sending it to space, under the ocean, and doing incredible things with it, and I got obsessed with it. I showed it to my cousin Mika (who was six at the time) and he said to me 'I want to build my own computer but it has to be as fun as Lego'. I started writing a book on how you could do this , page by page and we're now a company based in London, we make computer kits for kids of all ages across 86 countries and that is us."
That 'lightbulb' moment
Klein: "I got the idea from my cousin, at the stage it was about making a computer that was as simple and fun to build as Lego. I was completely unqualified, I mean I wasn't a computer scientist growing up. So me and my co-founder Yonatan started packing in all of these off the shelf cables and boards into these hand-folded cardboard boxes; it really wasn't flashy.
"[The lightbulb moment was when] I showed up in a classroom in North London. It was quite a deprived area – for most kids there, English was their second language – and I was standing in front of all these students with 20 hand-folded boxes and I asked them three questions:
Do you know how to make a box? All of the hands went up.
Do you know how a computer thinks? Some hands went up.
Do you think you could make a computer? No hands went up.
"And I thought okay there's a need for this. Nobody of this generation can even conceptualize what goes on inside a computer but they're so obsessed with computers, there's a gap [in the market]. I gave the prototype models to the kids and told them 'Well guess what, in the next hour you're going to build your own computers. You're going to make MineCraft come to life, you're going to make music and you'll do it by following simple steps in a book.' Sure enough, an hour later they put the pieces of the Raspberry Pi together and brought it to life. At the end of the workshop, this kid Kaleem who was nine at the time said 'Today we made a computer and that makes us superchildren!"
Mackenzie: "There were a number of thoughts that went into [Cuckoo]. When I went to university, I found it hard to find food that was good for you, had healthy ingredients and was convenient. The summer when I was at home my mother – who's really creative – was making these bircher recipes that were all really exciting and were recipes that I hadn't tried before.
"I couldn't find anything like it on the shelves so I started hatching up a business plan. At the end of the summer, I spoke to my friend Lucy and she shared my excitement and said 'Let's do this' so we literally started the next day."
Atherton: "I had multiple moments leading up to it. When MyFlashTrash came about I was just selling jewellery at school and making a pretty great margin on it. I started to realise there was a market for it; I set up a website and started taking pictures of my friends wearing the jewellery.
"I then saw someone new buy jewellery from my blog and I realised that this could actually work. It sort of went from that to a designer asking if they could sell jewellery on the platform, and I then sort of pivoted to charging people to be on the website, like a drop-ship model.
"It was a fantastic business set-up as I had no direct costs, and I just continued from there and learnt everything along the way about how you raise money, how to hire a team etc. I've made mistakes but I've learnt from them all."
Chasing the start-up reality instead of the 'unicorn' dream
Atherton: "I think there's a whole fascination with becoming a $1bn company, I didn't think about [that when I started], I think that if you start a business thinking 'Oh I'm going to be a unicorn' it won't have any authenticity. I think you should look to change the market and disrupt it with a new approach."
Klein: "I echo that, I think the fascination with unicorns has been of great detriment to many entrepreneurs who want to start businesses today. I also think that many of the companies now that are valued at over $1bn are quite inflated and I think we're very likely to see a correction. I think smart capital is going to be more interested in companies becoming 'cockroaches' and surviving the apocalypse in the market, rather than unicorns. At least for me, changing the system is what's interesting. I think we're about to go through another VC revolution."
Mackenzie: "Do I want to be a unicorn? That's so incomprehensible to me – I want to change the system."
Disrupting established markets
Atherton: "In the jewellery industry, there are a lot of old players who have dominated the market for a long time. I think there's so much potential, whether it's a marketplace or another platform, to shake things up. I don't think [that because we're disruptive] we're the villains, we're great acquisition targets!"
Mackenzie: "We're a premium brand and any successful everyday food brand has stood where we are today. I don't think any of the massive companies are going to be worried about us at this stage but we're going to be building up our brand to get there."
Klein: "We're positioning ourselves now as the first computer for the young, creative, rising generation -for the nine year-old that wants to make music, art, or an app. We hope to be disruptive – creatively disruptive."
Getting in bed with investors
Atherton: "The moment you take on shareholders, you have a responsibility to scale a company, make profit, to exit or do an IPO. You have a lot of pressure to do something that maybe you hadn't planned.
"The challenge I've faced is thinking that my investors are my mentors. So I thought 'Wow I've got this epic investor on board and now he's my mentor and it's going to change my business'. Whereas in reality, his portfolio is billion-dollar companies and in comparison I'm minute so he doesn't give me the time I thought I'd have. Your investors are there to get a return."
Mackenzie: "We're currently looking for investors and I'm not worried about losing reign as we wouldn't be looking for investment if we didn't require it. I would rather grow and be a smaller part of a bigger thing. I think investors are good because they do hold you accountable for things, you can see this future of where you want to be but [having investors] forces you to sit down every quarter and look at the reality of what's going on and do some planning."
Klein: "I've been very lucky with all of my investors [Facebook investor Jim Brier is Kano's lead investor]. Good investors hopefully invest in you as a person as much as your project as a dream. They want to see the dream evolve, they don't want it to be some sort of 10 commandments. I think, if anything, the minute you hire people and bring a team around you, particularly a leadership team, that's when you have to be very careful about being too precious about 'your dream'. You have to not be like 'This is what I think and this is what I am doing and I am right', it's more like 'Let's find the common threads and the idiosyncrasies between the common ideas and let the snowball roll'. Hopefully the investor doesn't stand in the way of it – the snowball."
Learning to say 'no'
Mackenzie: "We say 'no' constantly, there are companies that get in touch for marketing or people that want samples because they want to blog about us. At first you think 'Wow this is amazing, word must be getting out there, people are approaching us about opportunities'. But as a start-up you can't take these things for granted, you can't say 'yes' to everyone and every single opportunity. We have a director on our board that we [don't always agree with], there are always times when he's coming up with suggestions and [me and Lucy] look at each other whilst we're on speakerphone thinking 'no'."
Atherton: "I said 'yes' to everything when I started and actually ended up in a position where we weren't an e-commerce company, we were doing white label for a PR agency and we were sending B2B data, I kept thinking 'oh that's great opportunity, more revenue streams'. Our investors were like 'This is great, you're diversitfying' and it is great but that sort of led to me burning out so I now understand the value of many 'no's. I just think you have to stay so focused on your vision and that is very difficult when you have an entrepreneurial personality."
Klein: "I have trouble saying 'no' personally. In America, they do this thing called improv comedy/theatre and they teach you this thing called 'Yes and', so everytime someone comes in to the scene you say 'yes and' and you have to add to it.
"The thing for me that has been quite tough is that we publish a magazine called Kano Club, which is like cool stories and projects you can do with computer kits, and we're cutting it. It's sad because I love magazine and print media, it's just not selling as well as we would like but I want to keep it in some form – I'm still going to say 'yes' to it in some form!"
And finally, knowing when to move on
Klein: "I'll know [that it's time to move on to a new venture] when I'm no longer invested in the present mode."
Mackenzie: "We're coming up with lots of new products and ideas so once we've finally ran out of ideas, and we're only coming up with bad ones, I guess that will be the time to call it day. We're a long way off that."
Atherton: "It' so important to know when to pivot and when to persevere, you have to have a gut feeling. We had an acquisition offer about six months ago and I was excited about it but it just didn't feel right, so I just think you've got to trust your gut."
