Architectural description
Architectural type
French Gothic, French Renaissance
Saint-Étienne-du-Mont is a church in Paris, France, located on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève in the 5th arrondissement, near the Panthéon. It contains the shrine of St. Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris. The church also contains the tombs of Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine. Jean-Paul Marat is buried in the church's cemetery.
The sculpted tympanum, the The Stoning of Saint Stephen, is the work of French sculptor Gabriel-Jules Thomas.
Renowned organist, composer, and improviser Maurice Duruflé held the post of Titular Organist at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont from 1929 until his death in 1986.

The church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont originated in the abbey of Sainte-Genevieve, where the eponymous saint had been buried in the 6th century. Devoted to the Virgin Mary, then to St. John the Apostle, the place was too small to accommodate all the faithful. In 1222, Pope Honorius III authorized the establishment of an autonomous church, which was devoted this time to St Etienne, then the patron saint of the old cathedral of Paris.

Soon, the new building was overwhelmed by an increasingly dense population: the Sorbonne and many colleges were located on the territory of the parish. It was enlarged in 1328, but a complete reconstruction became necessary from the 15th century. In 1492, the monks Génovéfains donated a portion of their land for the construction of the new church.
This involved several steps. Under the direction of architect Stephen Viguier, the apse and the bell tower was sketched in 1494, the first two bells were cast in 1500. The choir of flamboyant Gothic, was completed in 1537 and the following year, it was the turn of the frame to be raised. The loft was built around 1530-1535.
In 1541, Guy, Bishop of Megara, blessed the altars of the chapels of the apse. The same year, the parish awarded contracts for the windows and statues from Parisian artisans. The nave, from the Renaissance period, was not hunched before 1584. The first stone of the facade was laid in 1610 by Marguerite de Valois, who had agreed to do so in a personal donation of 3000 pounds.
The church was dedicated on February 25, 1626 by Pierre Pescheur.
In 1651, a new pulpit was installed. It was also adjusted for the local wardens and housing for the priests.
During the 17th and 18th century, the church of Saint-Etienne-du-Mont enjoyed great prestige. It was the scene of great processions where the shrine of Sainte-Genevieve went to Notre Dame and subsequently returned to his church. It also housed the remains of Pierre Perrault, the painter Eustache Le Sueur and Blaise Pascal. Those of Racine and Isaac de Sacy Lemaistre were also transferred in 1711 from Port-Royal in Saint-Etienne.

During the French Revolution, the church was first closed and then turned into a "Temple of Filial Piety." Catholic worship was restored in 1801, benefiting from the Concordat. The following year, the demolition of the abbey church of Sainte-Genevieve Abbey and the breakthrough Street Clovis made St. Stephen an independent building. Under the Second Empire, the church was restored by Victor Baltard: the front was raised and the statues destroyed by the revolutionaries, were returned. Baltard also built the chapel of catechisms.
The 19th century was marked by many events. On January 10, 1805, Pope Pius VII celebrated Mass in the church. In 1833, Frederic Ozanam, a parishioner of St. Stephen, founded with friends the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. On January 3, 1857, Bishop Marie-Dominique-Auguste Sibour, was assassinated with cries of "Down with the goddesses!" by the priest Jean-Louis Verger, opposed to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. A plaque at the entrance to the nave marks the grave of the prelate, who was to inaugurate the novena of St. Genevieve. The occultist Eliphas Levi was indirectly involved in this tragic event.
On August 23, 1997, Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass there during the visit to Paris on the occasion of World Youth Day.
6th century - first chapel was formed from the crypt of St. Geneviève Abbey
13th century - separate church built on the north side of chapel
1491 - bell tower was built
1537 - chancel was built
1545 - gallery was built (see image of church interior)
1580 - vaults of the nave and the transept were built
1624 - bell tower was raised
1807 - demolition of the Abbey church
Today the church is characterized by its curved axis of the shrine containing the relics of St. Genevieve until 1793 (when they were thrown in the sewer), the tomb of Blaise de Vigenere, of Blaise Pascal, of Racine, and Mg Sibour.
Huysmans described it in the Connecting (1895) as one of the most beautiful churches in Paris.
Interiors and exteriors of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont are featured in both the beginning and finale of Max Ophüls celebrated film The Earrings of Madame de... (1953).

Q: How can I access canvas color via python I want to change the background screen color for different cases.
How can I access the canvas color via python...
Thanks
Julius
I've tried it with this:
        with self.canvas:
            if time == times_list[6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12]:
                Color(rgb=utils.get_color_from_hex("#d18154ff"))
            if time == times_list[13 or 14 or 15 or 16 or 17]:
                Color(rgb=utils.get_color_from_hex("#00b6fffff"))
            if time == times_list[18 or 19 or 20 or 21]:
                Color(rgb=utils.get_color_from_hex("#b46e46ff"))
            if time == times_list[22 or 23 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6]:
                Color(rgb=utils.get_color_from_hex("#000000a8"))

<DuesseldorfWindow>:
    name: "DueW"
    canvas.before:
        Color:
            rgb : utils.get_color_from_hex("#00b6fffff")
        Rectangle:
            pos: self.pos
            size: self.size

A: The canvas doesn't have a colour, rather it's a list of instructions to run one by one in order to draw your app. The Color instruction sets an internal context variable to say that if something is drawn then it will take that colour.
With that in mind, your top piece of code is probably just adding Color instructions to the canvas that don't do anything, as they come after everything else that's drawn. Instead you need to change the rgb value of the Color instruction in your second piece of code.
I suggest adding a colour = ListProperty(get_color_from_hex("x00b6ffff")) declaration to your DusseldorfWindow class, then writing rgb: root.colour in the kv. Then later when you want to change the colour you write self.colour = ... to change the colour that's already being used instead of adding a new one.

News of the $530 million funding round came on Thursday via a blog post by Silicon Valley-based Aurora. In the post, it said Amazon's "unique expertise, capabilities, and perspectives" would prove valuable in its work.
Aurora Innovation was founded in 2016 by experienced contributors to driverless-car projects run by the likes of Google (now Waymo) and Uber, as well as Tesla whose vehicles include Autopilot, a system that offers drivers a degree of autonomy behind the wheel.
It's also partnered with Volkswagen to incorporate its autonomous technology into the German automaker's cars. Deals between Silicon Valley tech firms and established automakers are not uncommon as they allow the latter to avoid the costs of building their own research and development programs. Fiat Chrysler and Jaguar Land Rover, for example, have both partnered with autonomous technology firm Waymo for ongoing work in the U.S., with the company recently becoming the first in the U.S. to charge for rides in driverless cars, using Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivans.


Kirsty said... Such an amazing time. We booked this for our honeymoon and it didn't disappoint. Crew were lovely and provided a glass of bubbly and nibbles. We'd definitely recommend this to everyone. One of the highlights of our honeymoon.

Volta provides free electric vehicle charging financed by advertisements on their network of charging stations.
The Volta network is USA's largest free electric vehicle car charging network. Advertisements on the front and back of the charging stations finance the electricity used by the chargers. The charging stations are strategically placed at shopping centres and other high traffic facilities, so drivers can charge for free while they are shopping, while retail businesses get an advertising space to attract more customers.
Volta installs the stations and provides maintenance and technical support, while adverts are able to reach customers just before they shop. Volta has installed charging networks in 15 major cities in the USA, with ambitious expansion plans in the coming years.
More than 500,000 electric vehicles have been sold in the USA up until the end of 2016, with a year-on-year increase in sales of 37% in 2016. Electric vehicles will contribute significantly to reducing air pollution in cities and, in combination with more renewable energy in electricity grids, will help to mitigate climate change. Volta's accessible and free charging stations encourage the switch to electric vehicles.
Volta is providing free electricity for charging electric vehicles, incentivising and promoting the use of electric vehicles in urban settlements.
As free charging networks expand, drivers are more likely to turn to electric vehicles, which would reduce air pollution in cities, and promoting urban sustainability efforts.
The Volta charging network incentivizes a switch to more sustainable electric vehicles, by offering to save users money as they do not have to pay for the electricity that fuels their cars.
According to data from Volta, for every 165 hours a vehicle is charged at a Volta station, one ton of CO2 is avoided.
Volta Charging is an electric vehicle charging company that installs and maintains charging networks for communities at high-end, premium retail locations for free.

Turks begin voting in local polls which Erdogan could lose in big cities

ANKARA (Reuters) - Turks began voting on Sunday in local elections that President Tayyip Erdogan has described as a matter of survival for the country.
Erdogan, who has dominated Turkish politics for more than 16 years thanks to strong economic growth and supreme campaigning skills, has become the country's most popular, yet also most divisive, leader in modern history.
However, he could be dealt an electoral blow with polls indicating his ruling AK Party (AKP) may lose control of the capital Ankara, and even Istanbul, the country's largest city.
Voters in provinces in eastern Turkey began voting at 7:00 am (0400 GMT), while voting in the rest of Turkey begins at 8:00 am. Polling stations close at 4:00 pm in the east and 5:00 pm in the west.
Just over 57 million people are eligible to vote. A clear picture of the winners will probably emerge around midnight.
With the economy contracting following a currency crisis last year in which the lira lost more than 30 percent of its value, some voters appeared ready to punish Erdogan who has ruled with an increasingly uncompromising stance.
This week, as authorities again scrambled to shore up the lira, Erdogan cast the country's economic woes as resulting from attacks by the West, saying Turkey would overcome its troubles following Sunday's vote and adding he was "the boss" of the economy.
"The aim behind the increasing attacks toward our country ahead of the elections is to block the road of the big, strong Turkey," Erdogan told one of his six rallies in Istanbul on Saturday.
Sunday's elections, in which Turks will vote for mayors and other local officials across the country, will be the first since Erdogan assumed sweeping presidential powers last year and will be a reckoning for his government, which has come under fire for its economic policies and record on human rights.
SYMBOLIC BLOW
Defeat in either Ankara or Istanbul would bring to an end a nearly quarter century rule by Erdogan's AKP or its predecessors in those cities and deal a symbolic blow to Turkey's leader.
Ahead of the vote, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and Iyi (Good) Party formed an electoral alliance to rival that of the AKP and its nationalist MHP partners.
The pro-Kurdish opposition Peoples Democratic Party (HDP), which Erdogan has accused of links to Kurdish militants, has not made an official alliance and is not fielding candidates for mayor in Istanbul or Ankara, which is likely to benefit the CHP.
The HDP denies links to the outlawed militant Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
In the days leading up to the vote, Erdogan has held around 100 rallies across the country, speaking 14 times in different districts of Istanbul over the past two days alone and more than four times in Ankara throughout his campaign.
He has described the elections as an existential choice for Turkey, blasting his rivals as terrorist supporters aiming to topple Turkey. He has warned that if the opposition candidate wins in Ankara, residents would "pay a price".
His opponents have denied the accusations and challenged his characterization of the elections as a matter of survival, saying Erdogan had led the country to its current state.
"What matter of survival? We're electing mayors. What does this have anything to do with the country's survival?" Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the CHP, told a rally in Eskisehir.
With reference to Erdogan, Kilicdaroglu said: "If there is a survival issue in Turkey, it's because of you."

Under the Bus.
06/28/2015 MadOgre	19 Comments
Some psycho kills 9 people and the 10th victim is American History.
I was pleased to see that the potential for Anti-Gun Politics to flare up didn't happen. The shooter had a photo with the Confederate Flag on his Facebook Page, so obviously the Bad Guy here is the Confederate Flag… So in order to stop Hate, people are pulling down all the Confederate Flags everywhere.
You know what? I'm fine with that. Let's throw the General Lee's Battle Flag under the bus. That's our Scape Goat for this horror, so be it. But then they started talking pulling down books, movies, and video games. And there's talk of pulling down statues and a National Monument.
Wait one second.
American History may not be all Rocket's Red Glare… but it's our History. We need to OWN IT. For good or bad, it's our history… OURS. We need to Remember It. We need to Learn from it. So we don't need to Repeat it. Glossing over the bothersome bits… glossing over the parts we don't like… the parts that make us uncomfortable… is intellectually dishonest.
What is called the Confederate Flag was really not the Confederate Flag. It was Robert E Lee's Battle Flag during The War of Norther Aggression. To some, it's a symbol of Hate. To others it's a symbol of Rebellion. To others, it's a symbol of Southern Pride. And to others it is a part of our collective American History. To the Democrats, it's all about that Southern Pride. The Democrats with deep ties to Racism and all it's ugly collateral that goes with it, loved the "Dixie Flag". Bill Clinton's campaign used the hell out of it. So did so many Democrats around the south. Personally, to me, it's the Rebellion. The standing up to and fighting against the Federal Government. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
I don't care if you like it or not. You don't have to like it. But you should respect it. Before you call for it's removal, you should understand it's significance. Censuring that flag as a symbol of hate is just ignorant. Especially when other things are not censured. Such as the Swastika. Che Guevara T-Shirts. Censuring one and not all… means your offended Self Absorbed Holier than Thou situational Moral High Ground is a Fraud. It's False. So that means that you are either ignorant or dishonest. One or the other… maybe both. If we're going to censure hate – there's so much out there that also needs to be censured. And if that's what you're wanting to do… Then you become one of those tyranical, hysterical book burners and you've just become that very thing you've been against. Congratulations, you slobbering moron.
Own your History. Learn from your History. And don't Repeat the bad History.

These people have no principles.
To them, "1984" is an instruction manual.
This is going to get worse. I need a new gun.
You don't get it Ogre. It goes like this for the left: Something terrible happened, so you HAVE to give me something I want, even though it has nothing to do with the terrible event. And we FALL for it every damn time.
It's because of the Media.
Raptor says:
Call me paranoid of you wish, but more and more I feel like eradicating the culture of the groups they disagree with won't be enough for the Social Progressives, that sooner or later they'll move on to the groups themselves.
I've visited Mauthausen-Gusen. I've seen the end result of that kind of unbridled hatred with my own eyes. And I don't care if by some miracle I don't wind up on that list: I will fight to my last bullet, my last blade, and my last breath to keep that from happening here.
mattitude says:
I thought that this country ruled by majority rule, not by the minority just because they have the biggest mouths and whine the loudest to get what they want. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of southerners would want to keep the flag, but because the loud minority is offended they have to get their way.
Of course now that the flag is pretty much "officially" a symbol of hate the people who choose to fly them on their own property are now identified as racists no matter why they decide to display the flag.
I always considered that flag to be a symbol of treason; those that flew it wanted to secede from the nation after all. As far as our history as a nation goes, how many of us learned about the buffalo soldiers, or the Tuskegee airmen in school? Ask a black man about how much of our history is taught in school. Hell, I was fully grown when I found out we put Japanese Americans in prison camps during WWII.
I need a new gun as well.
Sure, it's a flag of treason, what do you think, King George thought of the American flag? Depends on where you are.
It's only treason if you lose.

Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason?

Issue of slavery aside, (which Lincoln didn't really address till later in the war when he was losing), the institution itself was dying from pressure from the North and activists, Britian had stopped transshipment of slaves via sea for instance using her navy and it was evil and needed to be destroyed….I am still waiting for somebody to explain to me what constitutional or legal principle Lincoln used to justify mass machine assembly line style killing. The south was comprised of states that entered into a voluntary union why was mass slaughter justified to keep them in it?
John Gregson says:
South cecceded due to Financial burdens of special tax that did not apply N. of Mason Dixie line. Slavery issue was a rationalization. The articles of confederation prescibed no sanctions for a break up.
I don't see any in the more recently adopted Constitution ither….

Well said, George. Well said. And for the record I like most of the comments as well. Carry on gentlemen.
mississippi556 says:
As a native Mississippian whose state flag prominently pictures the Confederate Battle Flag in its upper corner, I was one to have supported a change in the flag when we voted on this in 2001. I still support that change.
But I completely agree with George that there is important history which needs to be remembered and which can be lost when we engage in politically correct "cleansing" of reminders of our past.
To me, as a graduate of the University of Mississippi that flag carries a very important historical significance. It happened to be the regimental colors of the 11th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, Army of Northern Virginia. One company of that regiment. the first, "Company A" or the "University Greys" consisted of the entire student body of the school. All of them. Enlisted together, shipped of to Virginia and fought in the campaign there.
On July 3, 1863 in what was later called "Picket's Charge" that company sustained the highest unit casualty rate of any unit in the entire three day battle: 100%. Every student participating in that charge either died on the field of battle that day or was so severely wounded as to be unable to continue to fight — even those captured were wounded.
It was for that reason that the University adopted the colors of the 11th as its symbol. It had nothing to do with any underlying social or political issue. We need to remember these things.
Of course, the University has since abandoned the flag as any official symbol and disfavors its display during sporting events, so as not to offend. I understand that it can offend and I also agree that it should not have any "official" status, given that the University is public.
But, we can go too far. In doing so, we forget important events from our past.
In doing so, we forget who we are.
Dogguy says:
Symbols of hatred? Evil people have adopted various symbols throughout history to justify their evil actions. If we ban all such symbols used by various hate groups through history we would no longer be able to fly the flag of the USA, display the Christian cross or Star of David or be able to read the Koran or the Holy Bible.
The sad thing is how this Confederate Battle Flag controversy illuminates just how dumbed-down our education system has become. Most people today seem to be clueless of their history and the lessons it should have taught us all. Proves the axiom about being doomed to repeat that history, doesn't it.
JackCrow says:
Well said George.
This attack on southern culture is disgusting beyond words. Ft. Bragg was named after my ancestor, I wonder how long it will be until that is changed.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Nothing revives an antique cause like the tardy persecution of its symbols.

The Conquered Banner
By Abram Ryan
"Poet Priest of the South"
"Abram Joseph Ryan was a catholic priest, poet, and strong believer in the Confederate cause. He wrote "The Conquered Banner" shortly after General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox in 1865. The poem first appeared in the New York Freemen, a pro-Confederate newspaper, on June 24, 1865."
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/a/amverse/BAD9548.0001.001/1:73?rgn=div1;view=fulltext
"According to historian John McGreevy, the poem became one of the most popular of the post-war era and made Ryan famous. Southerners sympathized with Ryan and recognized that their cause had ended in defeat. The poem proved to be timeless, as it remained popular in the South through the turn of the century."

TikTok Star Mama Tot Posts Heartbreaking Update About Her Son's Murder As Police Close In On Suspects
The TikTok star known as Mama Tot is speaking out in the aftermath of her son's tragic death.
As we've been reporting, the social media sensation — whose real name is Ophelia Nichols — lost her son Randon Lee on Friday after he was shot and killed at a gas station in Prichard, Alabama. Lee would have turned 19 the very next day, as Mama Tot explained in her initial announcement of his tragic death.

Now, more information is coming to light about the horrific incident. According to AL.com, detectives investigating Lee's death in the suburb of Mobile are beginning to piece together exactly what happened that fateful day.
Detective Jason Hadaway told the media on Monday that Lee was shot after an apparent marijuana deal gone horribly wrong. According to the investigator, multiple suspects pulled up in a car, and one jumped out and got into Lee's car when there was an apparent altercation with shots fired.
Hadaway reported that police later "found marijuana at the scene," and explained detectives' initial suspicions about the nature of the meeting leading to the murder:
"We do know at this time that Mr. Lee had made his way down to Wilmer and was selling narcotics to these two individuals."
The detective noted that police "do have a couple suspects in mind." However, citing the active status of the investigation, he refused to share more information other than the allegation that the death occurred in a drug deal gone wrong.

Over on TikTok on Monday evening, Nichols posted a follow-up message to her much-followed account. First writing in the comments, she shared her emotional state during this unimaginably difficult time:
"We are in shock. I had this awful feeling cuz of the area he was in. I didn't wanna belive it. Me,my kids,we are all in shock on top of the grief. We do believe we know who it was. Can't say names yet BUT I believe the lord will make a way for Justice."
It's noteworthy that both she and the detective have independently indicated that police are apparently closing in on the murder suspects. Hopefully justice will be served in this terrible case.
As for the video itself, Mama Tot spoke directly to camera in the 3-minute clip, starting things out by saying:
"I'm getting through it. I'm getting through it. I made decisions today regarding my son's service, and through this process we've found out a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff we just didn't know."
She spoke about the difficult parts of the story from there, explaining that she, too, had been informed about the drug deal theory held by detectives:
"It just don't cross your mind that they would be doing anything to get themselves into trouble. But we've been told that the detectives think that marijuana was being dealed [sic], and my son was meeting there, and either they tried to rob him, or they did rob him, and he was shot."
Clearly and understandably crushed over her son's untimely death, Nichols concluded powerfully:
"We just had a birthday dinner for him, and we was all telling him how proud we was of him. We just had no idea. He comes from good people, and he comes from a good family, and a good home. But sometimes that just don't matter, you know? … But it gives nobody the right to shoot my son. That's all I know right now."

F1 22 Review – Front Row But Not Pole Position
F1 22 on Xbox Series X Following a rather controversial final day of the 2021 season, which saw Max Verstappen snatch the driver's championship from the clutches of Lewis Hamilton in the final lap in a rather liberal interpretation of the rules, it's fair to say that the pinnacle of motorsport has skyrocketed in popularity. With the help of Netflix's Drive to Survive series, Formula 1 is more of a […]

Lots of Interviews But NO Job Offers?
In a job market where virtually every opening receives dozens - or hundreds - of applicants, it can be difficult to be the ONE who makes it to the finish line and receives an offer. In fact, it can be very difficult to even be selected for an interview.
However, if you have been getting a number of interviews at a variety of companies, and still have not received an offer, it would probably be a good idea to figure out what's been going wrong.
It may simply be that in each case there have been better technically qualified applicants that you've been competing against.
You may have been pursuing the wrong kinds of jobs, that aren't necessarily a good fit for your background.
You might have been interviewing at companies that weren't a good culture fit for your personality.
You may not be projecting the professionalism they would expect!
When a hiring manager considers an applicant, he or she is not only looking for specific experience and skills, but rather, looking for "the whole package."
All of these things, and more, are components of professionalism.
So take an honest look at yourself! If you've had a number of interviews but no offers… is it possible that you're not presenting the most professional package?
Ask yourself some questions. Be honest, and look at yourself as an employer might see you.
Are you dressed appropriately, and neatly? Do you greet them with a smile? Do you offer a confident handshake?
How well do you interview?
In each of these areas, consider the impression you make to an employer that is likely seeing many candidates… some of whom will be prepared and exude a great deal of professionalism. How do you compare?
Before your next interview, take the time to press your clothes, practice your greeting, and your handshake. Prepare and practice your interview answers, your demeanor, and your questions. Check your attitude and determine to be upbeat, direct. You may find that taking a look yourself from the employers point of view, and preparing better will make all the difference in the world!

Was Leo Strauss an Idiot?
Column by Robert L. Johnson, posted on December 04, 2006
Leo Strauss, the founding father of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament)-based neoconservative movement, is too often talked about and written about as being some sort of intelligent, profound philosopher and thinker. The reality of it is that Strauss was a man who actually took the myths and lies found in the Hebrew Bible as factual. Only a non-thinker could do that!
In his speech and essay "Jerusalem and Athens," Strauss writes regarding the fall of man Bible bilge, 'Thus the stage was set for the fall of our first parents. The first move came from the serpent, the most cunning of all the beasts of the field. It seduced the woman into disobedience and then the woman seduced the man. The seduction moves from the lowest to the highest.'
To paraphrase Clarence Darrow, isn't anyone surprised that a serpent or snake is talking? What intelligent person is going to buy into this nonsense? And personally, I've never heard of a snake being classified as a 'beast of the field.'
As is the case in all the Abrahamic 'revealed' religions, women do NOT fare too well. As Strauss points out, women in his example are below men and above serpents!
Strauss goes on to write, 'According to the serpent's assertion, knowledge of good and evil makes man immune to death, but we cannot know whether the serpent believes this.' This is the kind of trash and mental excrement that the Bible is full of! Wondering what a talking snake believes! This mindset is what drives the people in our governments to do such insane things as starting unnecessary wars! When you abandon your God-given reason, you're capable of doing almost anything. And if the population is full of people that take crap like this seriously, the government definitely won't have a hard time leading them anywhere they want, into any war they want!
After Strauss points out that the Bible god doesn't want intelligent people in his garden who dare to eat of the tree of wisdom, he moves on to the tree of life. He seriously writes and said that after Eve and Adam ate of the tree of wisdom, 'As a consequence, there was now the danger that man might eat of the tree of life and live forever.' This is worse than Ponce de Leon who found Florida while he was looking for the fountain of youth! What kind of mind takes myths like this seriously? Is it the kind of mind you want deciding what kind of society we're going to have and that your children and grandchildren are going to live in? This is what the neocons and plutocrats are doing. They're molding society through the strong arm of government to fit the Hebrew Bible-based neoconservative vision for society.
One of the very funny Biblical absurdities is how long it claims that people lived. For example, it says that Adam lived to be 930 years old! There are many such unreasonable Biblical claims, such as Jared, who the Bible says lived for 962 years! The people who are said to have lived for centuries and centuries were before God had realized what a mistake he had made by making us, which then prompted him to kill every man, woman, child, and unborn baby by drowning with the exception of Noah and his family and two of every animal on the planet that he somehow managed to collect and load into the mythical ark. (This reminds me of a joke Thomas Paine included in his outstanding book on God, religion and Deism, The Age of Reason: 'Do you believe in Noah - ah NO!') The gullible Strauss, father of the neocons and the policy makers who led us to war in Iraq and the Middle East, doesn't even question this Biblical boner! In the same essay/speech he writes, 'Man's antediluvian longevity was a relic of his original condition. Man originally lived in the garden of Eden, where he could have eaten of the tree of life and thus have become immortal. The longevity of antediluvian man reflects this lost chance.'
To really demonstrate the danger of the Bible and the neocons to liberty and true freedom, all we have to do is read the following quote from Strauss: 'God as it were experimented, for the instruction of mankind, with mankind living in freedom from law. This experiment, just as the experiment with men remaining like innocent children, ended in failure. Fallen or awake, man needs restraint, must live under law.' Whose law, you may wonder. The answer is Israel's law through the Hebrew Bible.
Since Strauss' students, people such as Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol and many others, are true believers in Strauss and the Hebrew Bible and the neocon nightmare, they truly believe that the Jews are God's chosen people, 'above all people that are upon the face of the earth.' (Deuteronomy 7:6) And they truly believe that the Palestinians (AND OTHERS) have no right to their land because the god of the Jews gave it to the Jews, as Strauss himself writes, when 'Canaan, whose land came to be the promised land, was cursed because of Ham's seeing the nakedness of his father Noah . . . only after Abraham's offspring will have become a great nation will the land of Canaan be given to them forever.' This is why there will not be peace in the Middle East or in the world, because people are still so taken in by the absurdities in the Bible that they truly believe that God gave all that land, 'from the river of Egypt as far as the great river the Euphrates. The land of the Kenites, Kenizites, Kadmonites; the Chitties, Perizites, Refaim; the Emorites, Canaanites, Gigashites and Yevusites" to the Jews. This means that to fully occupy the land the Jewish god gave to the Jews, Israel's borders will have to expand to include large parts of Egypt, Syria and Jordan! And of course this means much more war, much more suffering, and much more death. If Bible-believing voters don't come to realize that the Bible has nothing to do with God, these wars will take place just as assuredly as Iraq was invaded. It's up to us to educate sincere people to what the religions and governments are doing to them and their children.

Situated only 37 km from Arusha, Arusha National park is stated to be the starting point of all the African Safaris. This smaller park covers 137 sq. Km, but immerse as one of the most beautiful park in whole of Tanzania and seems to be the fittest one for a day trip. Some of the distinct features of the park.
The park is located in Northern Tanzania, 126 km west of Arusha town along the Makuyuni-Ngorongoro road, strategically located along the high way to Ngorongoro and Serengeti and is easily accessible by road and air (charter or scheduled flights).

Huge herds of wildebeests and zebras traverse its plains during their annual migration. Hominin fossils found in the Olduvai Gorge date back millions of years.
Tarangire National Park is the sixth largest national park in Tanzania; it is located in Manyara Region. The name of the park originates from the Tarangire River that crosses the park. The Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for wild animals in the Tarangire Ecosystem during the annual dry season.
Mkomazi National Park is located in northeastern Tanzania on the Kenyan border, in Kilimanjaro Region and Tanga Region. It was established as a game reserve in 1951 and upgraded to be a national park in 2006.The park covers over 3,234 square kilometres (323,400 ha).

The most unique factor of this national park is that this is the only Tanzanian wildlife sanctuary that is bordering to the sea. With the coastal hot and humid climate it displays varieties of mixed flora and fauna of both the marine and the mainland.

We believe that safaris are not only meant for people with deep pockets and double and quadruple source of income. Even if you're far off in any European country, our Tanzania Budget Camping Safari.
Tanzania is not only a country with diverse wildlife and landscape, but it is large in area as well. It offers more than adventure to every traveler, so one can easily take Tanzania Classic Adventure Safari for real travel delight.
Tanzania is a land which invariably amazes visitors with its natural diverse beauty. At the same time, the remarkable unity, collective identity, and the warm hospitality of the locals leaves an indelible impression on all who visit Tanzania.
The annual trip of Great Migration spanning across Tanzania is the best wildlife spectacle in the world. Somewhere close to 1.7 million wildebeests and zebras take part in the circular migration trip in search of fresh grassland which begins in Tanzania.
Honeymoon Safari are considered the turning point for the newlyweds where they can get away for few days from the chaotic everyday life and get to know each other better and plan for the future.
Tanzania Safaris are an excellent space to spend quality time with your family amidst wildlife in its true state. Wild animals roaming around the bushes freely and colossal bird species flocking to the shores .
Tanzania Safaris are a trip of a lifetime. Lions, rhinos scarcely any meters away from you grunting, keeping their eyes on you all the time when your vehicle passes by, is not something you get to experience every other day.
If you're a bird lover, enjoy traveling, and have few days off from work or are planning a break then you have to take a Tanzania Birding Safari. Africa is not only a wildlife heaven, but also an ornithological paradise.
Photography has become an integral part of our lives. Selfies, DSLRs, and photography are raging through youths all over the world. No occasions, trips, ceremonies, rituals now ever seem complete with clicks and flashes.
Tanzania Safari is perhaps the best way to immerse yourself completely into the natural and purest form of wildlife where they're left undisturbed on their own to grow and prosper in large protected areas. Most people think safaris come.

I ordered a set of KYB struts to go with my progress springs and rear hub spacers! Pictures of finished product in a month or two! I cannot wait to put them on, but I must until at least spring break (3 weeks probably).
I have thoroughly enjoyed having the rear sway bar (16mm). This oughta be a whole new level of fun!

Do you have gaps in between your front teeth? Many adults have open gingival embrasures (black triangles) or gaps between their two front teeth.
The cause may be due to recession of the gum line, bone loss or movement of the teeth. The gaps and the dark spaces that they cause can make your teeth look old and can reduce the impact of your smile. Gaps between teeth are also prone to plaque build-up as they can allow food to get trapped there.
Diastema Closure is the process of closing the gap between the front teeth. The simplest method for doing this is to use composite filling material. This composite material is shade matched and bonded to the teeth. This is a very simple non invasive treatment, without using needles and drilling any of the healthy tooth, and it is completely reversible. The composite material is shaped and polished by your dentist to give a very natural result.
The photos below show one of our patients who received this treatment combined with our teeth whitening service. This lady had been unhappy with this gap for many years and didn't think that anything could be done to improve her smile. She was extremely pleased with the results.
The patient who received this treatment was very pleased with her new smile.
To discuss how Far Headingley Dental Care can provide you with Gap Closure treatment and other ways to improve your smile, please complete the enquiry form on this page or call our practice on 0113 275 1323 during normal office hours.


NIS America has published another in a series of character trailers for the upcoming Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This time around, the focus of the video is on a group of explorers of the mystery island Seiren that the game takes place on. Amidst some anime-style cinematics and snippets of gameplay, the trailer shines a brief spotlight onto the noblewoman Laxia, fisherman Sahad, Hummel the gun-toting Transporter, and the inquisitive Ricotta, who is actually a native of Seiren itself.
The game is only a few weeks away from launch. It will be available on September 12, 2017, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PC. A Day One Edition is also available for pre-order.

Q: Flask-WTF, unexpected output using macro use of {{ field |safe}} (HTML escaping)
*

*When the input is

*When then output is

*But when I change the input to

*My output changes to

Please some body explain me why this is happening?
What's the role of {{ field |safe}}?
My App.py code -
class ContactForm(FlaskForm):
   name = StringField("Name Of Student",validators = [InputRequired(message
       = 'Name is missing'),Length(min=5,max=10,message="wrong")])
   email = StringField("email",[validators.Email("Please enter your email
       address.")])

@app.route('/form', methods = ['GET','POST'])
def index():
    form = ContactForm()

    if form.validate_on_submit():
        return render_template('macro_output.html',form=form)

    return render_template('main_form.html',form=form)

macro_form.html
{% macro render_output(field) %}
<p>
{{ field.label}}
{{ field |safe}}
</p>
{% endmacro %}

macro_output.html
{% from "macro_form.html" import render_field,
render_ErrorMessage,render_output %}
<html>
<body>
    {{ render_output(form.name)}}
    {{ render_output(form.name.data)}}
    {{ render_output(form.email)}}
    {{ render_output(form.email.data)}}

</body>
</html>

A: The jijna2 filter safe treats strings as, well, safe and does not do any pre-formatting by automatically escaping any characters that would otherwise be interpreted as code (in this case HTML code).
So if a variable, say, form.name.data = <html> then invoking {{ form.name.data | safe }} will embed an html tag (<html>) into your HTML, and I expect that the HTML browser parser simply ignores it as an error (you can check the rendered page source). But invoking {{ form.name.data }} jinja2 will escape the '<>' characters only 'html' will go into the HTML and therefore be rendered as text.
I would strongly advise against the use of the safe filter for user input, since an arbitrary user could inject code into your page, e.g. <script> ... </script>


Welcome to the Learning Center! I've been teaching for over 20 years and am excited to work with students in grades Kindergarten through 5th grades again this year. It's my 7th year at Stono Park and I love working with the amazing staff here. In my spare time, I love to read, go to the beach and spend time with my friends and family. This year, my goal is to give students the tools and instruction they need to be successful in their general education classrooms.


FAQ: How Do You Receive My Orders?
As an eCommerce fulfillment center, merchants are often curious how we receive orders from their shopping carts so that we can pick, pack and ship those orders from our warehouse to their end customers.
It's a great question! And the answer is that, at eFulfillment Service, we offer proprietary, web-based fulfillment technology, which we call our Fulfillment Control Panel (FCP), that not only allows our clients to keep a constant view of their orders and inventory, it also allows us to quickly and easily receive and fill their orders.
Our Fulfillment Control Panel currently integrates with over 30 shopping carts and online selling platforms. For many of those carts and systems, we are able to receive client orders automatically through the process of XML integration.
We won't get into all the technical mumbo jumbo, but basically, with this level of integration, when you receive an order, our Fulfillment Control Panel has a little conversation with your shopping cart so that we can automatically pull new orders into our system with all of the required data.
In some cases, depending on our client's shopping cart, our system will also send back tracking and inventory information automatically.
Automated XML integration is the fastest and easiest way for us to receive orders, but there are certain shopping carts that don't have the necessary interface for us to communicate this way. But fret not, because there are two other ways that we can receive orders.
Many carts and selling platforms allow merchants to export CSV files of their orders. A CSV file is basically a standardized spreadsheet with certain fields for each order, including your customer's name, delivery address, items/SKUs purchased, and the selected shipping method.
That CSV file can then be easily uploaded to our FCP system, and depending on your order volume, you can upload new orders once a day or multiple times per day.
Lastly, in the off chance that a client is using a shopping cart or platform that doesn't allow for XML integration or CSV file exports, our Fulfillment Control Panel also allows for manual order entry.
In this case, clients can log in to our system, 24/7, and input the required fields for each order. And just like with the two options outlined above, when clients manually enter orders, we provide real-time reporting to keep them in the loop as to when their orders have been processed and shipped.
When deciding whether or not to outsource your order fulfillment, or when trying to determine which fulfillment house is right for your business, technology should be an important factor that you consider.
At eFulfillment Service, we provide online sellers with fast, secure and accessible technology they can depend on, technology that is supported by an experienced in-house IT team and allows us to fill orders with over 99.9% accuracy.
If you'd like to learn more about our FCP system and order fulfillment services, give us a shout. We'd love to talk!
How Do You Receive My Orders to Your Fulfillment Center?
As an ecommerce fulfillment center, we're often asked how we get orders from online sellers. In this post, we outline the 3 ways that we receive client orders.


The use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been explored to alleviate symptoms in various clinical populations, including depression and substance use disorders. For instance, recent studies have reported promising results for different substances such as tobacco, alcohol and cocaine. More specifically, active as compared to sham tDCS applied over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reduced craving levels and substance use, such as tobacco smoking. However, there is not much in the literature on whether tDCS could contribute to smoking cessation.

5.10.18 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Fruits of the Spirit — Love
Denise Heidel
Galatians, Praise Prompt, Prayer Prompt
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I don't usually preplan the Praise & Prayer Prompt, but for the next nine days (unless the Holy Spirit redirects me), I'm going to make an exception.
We're going to spend some time studying the Fruits of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 says, "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!"
We'll just go in order and since this is the first one, we'll start with LOVE.
On June 15th last year, I published a blog called "#Love."
At the time I wrote it, the hashtag "love," had 1,085,986,510 returns on Instagram.
Today, it has 1,309,715,345.
It further demonstrates what I wrote last year—people are looking for love.
So much so that in the last 328 days since "#Love" was published, the hashtag's popularity has grown by over 223 million and is used an average 682,100 times per day on Instagram.
But we can hardly assume that the use of #Love truly means love.
Our use of the word can take many meanings.
A lot of words can.
For example, anthropologist Frank Boas traveled through northern Canada in the 1880s and concluded that the Eskimos had over 50 words to define what we call "snow."
Can you imagine if we did that with love?
After all, the love we have for our husbands/wives is different from the love we feel for parents, children, sisters/brothers, aunts/uncles, and friends.
It's different from the love we feel for our pets.
It's different from the love we have for our houses, jobs, favorite dress, and favorite brand of ice cream.
What if we looked at love the way the Greeks did.
I'm no linguist nor am I a theologian so I'm not even going to try explain it.
The following is an excerpt (pages 327-328) from "Holman Treasury of Key Bible Words: 200 Greek and 200 Hebrew Words Explained and Defined," which was written by Eugene Carpenter and Philip Comfort.
"Greeks had four words to express different kinds of 'love': (1) eraō for 'sexual passion,' a word not found in the New Testament; (2) storgeō for 'family devotion,' a word used in a negative sense in 2 Timothy 3:3 as 'unloving'; (3) phileō for 'friendship,' a word appearing frequently in the New Testament; and (4) agapaō for 'loving-kindness.'… In the New Testament, the word agapē took on a special meaning. It was used by the New Testament writers to designate a 'volitional love' as opposed to a purely emotional love, a 'self-sacrificial love,' and a 'love naturally expressed by God,' but not so easily by men and women. It is a word that speaks of compassion, regard, kindness, and true love. It is an unselfish love that transcends natural affinities. In short, it is a love that we don't naturally have. It is divine."
And that, my friends—Agapē—is the fruit of the spirit that the Holy Spirit wants to teach us.
And as the authors said, it's not a love we do well.
It's very unnatural.
But what I love about it (pun intended!) is that it's not impossible!
Anyone who surrenders his or her will to God's, and allows the Holy Spirit to guide and direct, can offer this rarest of love—agapē—to others.
We can love without "what's in it for me?!"
We can love with someone else's best interests above our own!
We can love with pure compassion and forgiveness and share heart-felt kindness.
Can you imagine the kind of love our world would see if we as Christians embraced the agapē love as it's described?
Because I am a nerd, I looked up the hashtag #agapelove.
As of this morning, it has 73,135 posts correlated to it on Instagram.
Less than 1%.
Today, as you pray, first give praises to our Heavenly Father for being the very definition of agapē love!
Thank Jesus for showing agapē love for us when He died on the cross!
And thank the Holy Spirit for being willing to share agapē love with us, and teach us how to give it to others.


It's a word so deplorable and hateful for sports fans that it ought to be an expletive. Were it not so ubiquitous to the situations of struggling franchises throughout sports history—that word is "rebuilding," and whether the 49er faithful like it or not, the '9ers are going to be doing a lot of that over the next few seasons. It's a jagged pill for any sports fan to swallow, made even more bitter in this instance since a narrow 4 or 5 years ago the 49ers seemed to have put it all together again. In consecutive years, the 49ers played in an NFC Championship and a Super Bowl, in the first two years of coach Jim Harbaugh's professional career—the 49ers' defense was reliably competing with their divisional rival Seattle Seahawks for the NFL's best. Colin Kaepernick and Alex Smith both began showing flashes of brilliance under their former head coach and it seemed that the 49ers were poised to be an NFL powerhouse franchise for years to come.
The details of exactly what transpired between York and Harbaugh after the 49ers' loss in Super Bowl XLVII are not widely known, but the general consensus among those within the organization is that they just couldn't get along. Now, I could get really deep into why it isn't an owner's job to "get along" with his head coach, or how money can't buy practical football experience, but it wouldn't make a spot of difference. The fact of the matter is that Jed York fired Jim Harbaugh and the players who respected him as a coach either retired early or found their way out through free agency. Now, what remains is a smoldering crater where something incredible might have been. Let's get out our shovels now and dig into this crater, game by game.
Despite the condition of the 49ers' roster and completely overhauled coaching staff, they always seem to find new ways to impress and inspire their fans, en route to disappointing them again. In spite of how this looks on paper, the 49ers have a knack for jumping on teams in Week 1 and looking like world beaters, perhaps due to the fact that their lack of an identity makes them both unpredictable and tempting to overlook. I think that the 49ers will surprise Cam Newton and the Panthers in Week 1, which will lead to wild speculation and ridiculous overreactions on both sides.
Back to life and back to reality. The Seahawks know better than to overlook the 49ers, and by now the video from the Carolina game will have circulated and Seattle will know what to expect from Brian Hoyer and Carlos Hyde. The Seahawks are going to stack the box and crush Hyde's opportunities between the tackles and Hoyer is going to lose the rest of his hair trying to beat the Seattle corners in single coverage. I'm also not overly optimistic about Hoyer's ability to escape Seattle's pass rush.
This seems like about the time when the wheels will come off for the 49ers' rebuilding effort. Up to this point, they've probably looked like a real team with a chance of success, but this rivalry with Arizona is not a playful rivalry and the Cardinals have years of being shown no mercy by their divisional rival when the 49ers really were the best in the league and the Cards were trapped in a long cycle of rebuilding years. This also feels like the time when injuries start to stack up against our paper-thin roster. Hyde will probably go down with an ankle or head injury and some corner that no one's ever heard of will go down and suddenly the secondary (a weakness from last year, largely ignored in the 49ers' rebuilding process) will become a speed track for Arizona's impressive stable of receivers and dual-threat running backs.
Much has been made of the 49ers drafting of Reuben Foster and Solomon Thomas, both of whom are already having their name batted around for Rookie of the Year consideration—and while all signs point to these young men becoming great assets for the 49ers in years to come, neither addresses the porous secondary that was absolutely decimated by quarterbacks last season and playing the Colts, in the dome without a reliable shutdown corner is a recipe for disaster. Whether Andrew Luck is back from his injury or not, whoever is under center will find lots of opportunities deep and Frank Gore will undoubtedly go a little harder against his former team.
Another franchise in the midst of rebuilding, but the Redskins at least seem to have found their identity at quarterback with Kirk Cousins. I think that this will be a closer game than most of the other losses I'm predicting, but once again, the 49ers' lack of a reliable secondary will be the difference.
Another of the NFL's Classic rivalry games, going back to a time when these two teams used to be the dominant forces in football and whichever one of them surpassed the other in the NFC would go on to win the Super Bowl. In modern times, the Cowboys seem to have jumped to the head of the line in their rebuilding process, adding quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliot, both of whom enjoyed tremendous success last year. The thing about young players, though, is that they sometimes lose track of the importance of historic rivalries like this one, and as I mentioned earlier, the 49ers lead the league in their ability to be overlooked by superior teams. I like the 49ers to surprise the Cowboys in this game when they will be looking to their playoff chances a little prematurely.
This is a tough one to call because by this point in the season the weather will start limiting colder climate teams to just go deep against the 49ers and depending on the health of Carlos Hyde, a bad weather slug-fest could favor the 49ers. I think this one goes into overtime, but the rowdy Philly fans make enough of a difference to deliver a win for their beloved Eagles at home.
I'd like to say that I believe in the 49ers' ability to bounce back against a tough opponent, but I still can't see that 49ers secondary stopping the passing attack of the Cardinals for four quarters. A heartbreaker at home, the Cardinals eek out a road win in the final two minutes of regulation.
The Giants are always a mystery to me, a team that seems to have it all together, enjoying a great amount of success in recent years, yet I still never quite know what to expect from Eli Manning. Sometimes he's brilliant, looks like a world-beater and Odell Beckham Jr. catches everything that comes his way. Other weeks, Eli will be easily rattled and quick to frustration. I actually think that the 49ers' pass rush gets there a few times in this game and rattles Eli, scraping out another win.
The weather may play a factor in this one, but even in a low scoring game that favors the 49ers' strengths, I don't think that any of the 49ers' offensive weapons can consistently beat an above average defense like Chicago.
Terrible matchup for the 49ers; played indoors and DeAndre Hopkins is going to put on a clinic against the 49ers' below average cornerbacks. Houston might even rest some of their starters in the fourth quarter.
Overall, I think that the Titans are a much better team than the 49ers this year and they seem to have found their answer in quarterback Marcus Mariota, but at this point, I think that Kyle Shanahan will be looking for other ways to make something or anything positive happen for his new club. By this point in a rebuilding year, people start panicking from the top down and people start losing their jobs. I think that C.J. Beathard sees his first action in this game and flashes a little cause for optimism. Mariota and Co. will still win the day, but a shootout at home might give the 49ers Faithful and their trigger-happy ownership something to smile about.
With a new quarterback under center, most of the coaching staff fighting for their jobs and Jed York desperate for someone other than himself to blame, the 49ers are likely to flash a little bit of urgency in this game between teams that are both statistically (I predict) eliminated from the playoffs. I don't expect the Jaguars to make it easy, but I like the 49ers to squeeze one more win out of this dumpster fire of a season.
It'll be New Year's Eve when these old rivals square off again for the last game in either of their seasons. Each will be trying to avoid being the last place team in the division. The Rams get their revenge in this hard fought (but mostly irrelevant) game. Regardless of the outcome, neither of these teams take a snap in the playoffs.
Ugly? Yeah, you bet it's going to be ugly but rebuilding is seldom pretty. Much like giving birth, losing weight or rebuilding the framework of a once proud football dynasty, most of it isn't going to be pretty. Yet, we football fans continue to hope, in spite of ourselves. We can hope that the 49ers can continue to capitalize on prime draft positions. We can hope that Jed York learns a little patience and doesn't clean house every time the 49ers don't win a Super Bowl.

Der 1500-Meter-Lauf der Männer bei den Olympischen Spielen 1992 in Barcelona wurde am 3., 6. und 8. August 1992 in drei Runden im Olympiastadion Barcelona ausgetragen. Fünfzig Athleten nahmen teil.

Olympiasieger wurde der Spanier Fermín Cacho. Er gewann vor dem Marokkaner Rachid El Basir und Mohamed Suleiman aus Katar.

Für Deutschland gingen Hauke Fuhlbrügge, Jens-Peter Herold und Rüdiger Stenzel an den Start. Fuhlbrügge und Stenzel schieden im Halbfinale aus. Herold erreichte das Finale und belegte Rang sechs.
Der Schweizer Markus Hacksteiner schied in der Vorrunde aus.
Athleten aus Österreich und Liechtenstein nahmen nicht teil.

Bestehende Rekorde

Der bestehende olympische Rekord wurde bei diesen Spielen nicht erreicht. Im schnellsten Rennen, dem zweiten Halbfinale, verfehlte der spätere Bronzemedaillengewinner Mohamed Suleiman aus Katar mit seinen 3:34,77 min den Rekord um 2,24 Sekunden. Zum Weltrekord fehlten ihm 5,31 Sekunden.

Finale

Datum: 8. August 1992, 20:15 Uhr

Für das Finale hatten sich drei Kenianer, zwei Spanier sowie jeweils ein Läufer aus Algerien, Deutschland, Kanada, Katar, den USA und dem Vereinten Team qualifiziert.

Der amtierende Weltmeister Noureddine Morceli aus Algerien galt als eindeutiger Favorit. Weitere Medaillenkandidaten waren die immer wieder schwer einzuschätzenden Mittelstreckler aus Kenia, der Deutsche Jens-Peter Herold (WM-Vierter 1991 / Europameister 1990 / Olympiadritter von 1988), sowie der WM-Fünfte von 1991 Fermín Cacho, der als Spanier hier mit Heimvorteil antrat. Der ebenfalls zuvor als Medaillenkandidat gehandelte Deutsche Hauke Fuhlbrügge, WM-Dritter von 1991, war bereits im Halbfinale ausgeschieden.

In dem langsam gestarteten Finale – erste Runde in 1:02,25 min – führte der Kenianer Joseph Chesire vor Herold. So blieb es auch in Runde zwei, die mit 1:04,58 min noch ein bisschen langsamer war. Morceli lag im Hauptfeld und so ging es auf die letzten vierhundert Meter. Chesire, Herold, der US-Amerikaner Jim Spivey und Cacho führten ein dicht gedrängtes Feld an. Allerdings war das Tempo jetzt deutlich höher. Die dritte Runde wurde in 55,72 s absolviert. Auf der Gegengeraden begann ein langgezogener Spurt, zahlreiche Läufer versuchten, sich außen in eine gute Position zu bringen. Zehn von ihnen waren noch im Rennen um die Medaillen dabei. Dahinter tat sich eine Lücke auf. Noch vor der Zielkurve nutzte Cacho die Chance, auf der Innenbahn nach vorne zu stoßen. Entschlossen zog er an Chesire vorbei und erlief sich noch in der Kurve einen kleinen Vorsprung. Morceli dagegen hatte den Anschluss verpasst und kam erst als Fünfter auf die Zielgerade. Chesire, Herold und Mohamed Suleiman aus Katar lagen noch vor ihm.

Fermin Cacho hatte keine Mühe, seine Spitzenposition zu halten und erlief sich unter dem Jubel der Zuschauer den Olympiasieg. Hinter ihm war der Marokkaner Rachid El Basir auf der Zielgerade der Schnellste und gewann so die Silbermedaille. Mohamed Suleiman kam als Dritter vor Joseph Chesire ins Ziel. Fünfter wurde der Kenianer Jonah Birir vor Jens-Peter Herold. Morceli beendete das Rennen auf einem für ihn enttäuschenden und fast unerklärlichen Platz sieben. Vier Jahre später in Atlanta sollte er das hier Versäumte nachholen und wurde dort Olympiasieger.

Aufgrund der beiden ersten langsam gelaufenen Runden blieben Rekorde hier unangetastet.

Fermin Cacho gewann die erste spanische Goldmedaille über 1500 Meter der Männer.
Mohamed Suleiman war der erste Medaillengewinner Katars bei Olympischen Spielen.
