"The Drug Story" is a factalogical history of America's $10 billion drug cartel (back in 1949), its methods, operations, hidden ownership, profits and terrific impact on the health of the American people.
The following is part of the first chapter in "The Drug Story"
What Nujol Started
Thirty years ago the Standard Oil Company became impressed with the methods of the big packing houses which used, processed and sold every part of the hog but the squeal.
Their sales research department went 'way back to the 1860's when "Old Bill" Rockefeller, the itinerant pappy of John D. (the first) and a patent medicine showman, used to palm off bottled raw petroleum on the yokels as a cure for cancer.
"Old Bill" was an upstate New York farmer, until 1850. He moved to Cleveland then, entered the patent medicine racket and had himself listed as a "physician" in the city directory. In selling raw petroleum in a pretty bottle "Old Bill" did nothing new.
He merely took a page out of the book of other patent medicine fakers who were then hawking their wares from the backs of wagons – covered and uncovered. When oil was discovered in northwest Pennsylvania (1850) the jackals of the oil trade found there was more gold in the jeans of the gullible yokels than there was in working for it in the oil fields.
They began to bottle the raw petroleum and palm it off under various names as a cure for everything under the sun. The popular maladies of the day were liver complaint, cholera morbus, consumption and bronchitis. Among the names given this raw petroleum were "Seneca Oil", "Rock Oil" and "American Medicinal Oil".
"Old Bill" opened up a new field for himself. He called his bottled petroleum "Nujol" (meaning new oil) and sold it to those who had cancer and those whom he could make fear they would have it.
This sounded good to Standard's researchists. It sounded even better when they found it cost but $2.00 a barrel to concoct Nujol from crude petroleum. And that from one barrel of the raw stuff they could make 1,000 six-ounce bottles of finished Nujol. Instead of calling it a cure for cancer they called it a cure for constipation.
The latest trade catalog lists Nujol as going to the druggist at 28-2/3 cents a half pint (8 fluid ounces). The druggist thus pays about 21 cents for a 6-ounce bottle of Nujol which costs Standard Oil 1/5 of a cent.
These breath-taking profits from Nujol make it inevitable that America's largest and most ruthless industrial combine (the Rockefeller Empire) should soon add the drug traffic to its already vast production and sales domain. It wasn't until 1939, however, that the Drug Trust was formed and the upward curve in their drug profits began to assume the present gigantic proportions which today make it a macabre $10,000,000,000 a year business. How the American Drug Trust was formed by an alliance with its opposite number in Germany is almost a story in itself.
Soon after the present-day Nujol was put on the market it was discovered by physicians to be harmful. It robbed the body of fat soluble vitamins and caused serious deficiency diseases. Standard Oil checked the loss in sales by adding carotene (one of the fat soluble vitamins) to Nujol and claiming this overcame these injuries. Physicians disagree with the sales department of Standard Oil on this point.
And what of Nujol, now being sold to the public as a laxative. For some uyears before his death Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York used to set up a radio microphone every morning in his Senate Office Building quarters in Washington, furnished by the American taxpayers, and plug this greasy concoction – at $75,000 a year.
The New York Senator was a doctor of sorts. Although he possessed a medical degree he was never able to make a living as a bedside practitioner. He went into politics and made medicine pay in a big way. First he became a health commissioner of New York City, then a Senator from the Empire State where he used the prominence thus gained to ballyhoo Nujol to unsuspecting radio listeners.
Today Nujol is made by Stanco, Incorporated, 216 West 14th Street in New York, listed in Moody's Manual as one of the many subsidiaries of the Standard Oil Company. Stanco's only other product is Flit, well known fly killer and insecticide, made from the same raw materials and by pretty much the same process.
When a German beer hall bum named Hitler began to plan his 1,000-year Reich, the powers-that-were in Germany didn't actually know that American politicians were going to solve their acute employment crisis by forcing us into the Second World War to again save England's hide and Rockefeller's oil. But they weren't taking any chances.
Germany's huge dye trust (or chemical cartel) known as the I.G. Farbenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft, enjoyed a monopoly on all chemical products manufactured in Germany. German IG made an alliance with American Standard Oil in order to control important patents. The general idea was that the two were to pool their processes. This was done—in a one-sided way.
With the help of Standard Oil the German behemoth prevented American chemists from learning how to make synthetic rubber until after the Japs took the Malayan Peninsula and its vast rubber plantations. This almost lost the war for the United States.
So, in 1939, when it became apparent that Germany would soon be unpopular in the United States, Standard Oil helped Hitler's Reich cover its American holdings in the drug and chemical field. The American IG was formed, by taking over the Sterling Products Company, the Grasseli Chemical Works (alias the General Aniline Works), the Agfa-Film Company, the Winthrop Chemical and the Magnesium Development companies.
Standard Oil took 15% of the stock in the new German-American chemical trust. Efforts to hook the DuPont company into this situation partially failed. Among the directors of the "cover up" company were Walter Teagle (President of the Standard Oil Company), Paul Warburg (a Roosevelt-Rockefeller stooge), and Edsel Ford.
Five hundred thousand shares of stock were issued to Walter Teagle. At a later Securities & Exchange Commission investigation Mr. Teagle denied his parentage of this stock, claiming he was holding it as a dummy for someone else.
When asked by the examiner who this "someone else" was he blandly replied he did not know, although he was under oath. Everyone else knew it was either one of the Rockefeller clan in person, or the Standard Oil Company.
The war was getting pretty close to this country. President Roosevelt was setting up the Pearl Harbor disaster, and had ordered our radar defenses let down at 7 o'clock every morning. History records that the Japs accepted this "opportunity" to destroy most of the American Navy, made defenseless on orders from Washington.
At this juncture American IG Farben decided to camouflage its German parentage and sympathies, with the help of Standard Oil. It changed its name to the General Aniline & Film Corporation shortly before the Pearl Harbor attack. Before doing this, American IG purchased an undisclosed number of shares in the Ozalid Corporation, Schering & Company, Mission Corporation, Monsanto Chemical, Aluminum Corporation, Drug *Incorporated), Dow Chemical, Antidolar Company, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of Indiana, Standard Oil of California and the DuPont Company. It took over bodily the privately-owned Hoffman-LaRoche Company.
Meanwhile, Sterling Drug gobbled up Winthrop Chemical, the Bayer Company, General Drug, Vegex (Inc.), Cook laboratories, the Centaur Company and Alba Pharmacal Company.
Drug, Inc., owned by Louis K. Liggett (a powerful Massachusetts politician during the Hoover administration), had in 1929 taken over the Bristol-Myers Company, Vick Chemical, United Drug, Life Savers (Inc.), and the Liggett chain of "RX" Retail drug stores.
With Vick Chemical, Drug, Inc, (and the Rockefeller-Standard Oil-German IG Drug Trust) got the J.T. Baker Chemical Company, the William S. Merrell Company, the Jensen-Salsberry Laboratories, Prince Matchabelli (Inc.), Alfred D. McKelvy Company, Loeser Laboratories (Inc.), Taylor Chemical and the Sofskin Company.
When the American doughboys sloughed into Germany, and reached the industrial city of Frankfort, they were amazed to find intact all of the buildings and the huge plant of the German IG Farben Chemical Trust. American aviators, pinpointing their targets, had demolished every other structure in town.
What the doughboys didn't know was that the Secretary of War, one Robert P. Patterson, was a Rockefeller lawyer, appointed by President Roosevelt upon Rockefeller orders, fresh out of Dillon, Read and Company. The Dillon-Read concern not only is a Rockefeller subsidiary, but was the banking house that financed German IG Farben and attended to the financial details of forming the American "cover up" firm for the German chemical cartel.
Amerian aviators, who gnashed their teeth at their orders to miss the biggest target in Frankfort, have never accepted the weak alibi given them from headquarters. Which was that this juicy and IMPORTANT target shoud be saved because the American Expeditionary Forces would "need an office building" when they got into Germany proper.
To show how the German Chemical Cartel and the Rockefeller Drug Trust affect the lives of most American people, Sterling Drug's 66 subsidiaries manufacture among other things Phillips' Dentrifices and Cosmetics, Double Danderine, Ironized Yeast, Andrews' Liver Salts, Ross' Pills, Mejoral, Astringosol, Campho-Phenique, Molle, Energine, Diamond Dyes, and many anaesthetics, vitamins, antimalarials, sulfa drugs, analgesics, arsenicals, barbiturates, antiseptics, anti-bacterials and digenstive ferments.
The Bristol-Myers Company makes Ipana Tooth Paste, Sal Hepatica, Vitalis, Ingrams' Shaving Cream, Mum, Minitrub, Trushay, Perman's Insecticides, Benex and Ammer's Powder.
Dow Chemical makes Epsom Salts, bromides and many other USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia) products. Monsanto makes glycer-phosphate, vanillin, aspirin, saccharin, benzoic acid and many medicinals and "fine" chemicals. The Centaur Company makes Castoria.
Hoffman-LaRoche makes Allonal, Alurate, Antihistamine, Cal-C-Tose, Citro-Thiocol, Digitalis, Pantopon, Sedulon Cough Syrup, Presidon (sedative), Thephorin (a phony hay fever nostrum), ViPenta Drops and Vitaminets. Hoffman-LaRoche is privately owned, and is part of the Swiss branch of German IG, set up in 1939 to prevent confiscation as alien property.
With these Rockefeller concerns having all of these things to sell, plus thousands of the 12,000 drug items described and advocated in medical text-books, it was the most natural thing in the world—human nature and human greed being what it is—for the Rockefeller Foundation to be changed into an instrument for "educating" medical students into the excessive use of drugs.
The Rockefeller Foundation was first set up in 1904, and called the General Education Fund. An organization called the Rockefeller Foundation, ostensibly to supplement the Fund, was formed in 1910 and an effort was made to get a charter from Congress.

Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997
Some knowledge from the past. Big direction change with the passing of this Act. Warrants a bit of attention.
Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 (H.R. 867)
Public Law 105-89
The Adoptions and Safe Families Act of 1997 (P.L. 105-89) was signed into law by President Clinton on November 19, 1997. The new law, which amends the 1980 Child Welfare Act (P.L. 96-272), clarifies that the health and safety of children served by child welfare agencies must be their paramount concern and aims to move children in foster care more quickly into permanent homes.
Among the new law's provisions:
shortens the time-frame for a child's first permanency hearing;
offers states financial incentives for increasing the number of adoptions;
sets new requirements for states to petition for termination of parental rights;
reauthorizes the Family Preservation and Support Program.
NASW POSITION
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) did not take an official position on the Adoptions and Safe Families Act, but strongly supported the reauthorization of the Family Preservation and Support Program, the expansion of medical insurance coverage for children with special needs, and development of state standards to ensure quality services.
NASW did endorse an earlier version of the legislation, the Safe Adoptions and Family Environments Act (S.A.F.E. Act; S. 511), sponsored by Senators John H. Chafee (R-RI) and John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV). Unlike the Adoptions and Safe Families Act, the S.A.F.E. Act included additional funding for:
family reunification services;
training and retention of agency staff and cross-agency training; and
residential substance abuse treatment programs for parents and their children.
FUTURE ACTION
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services . The new law requires various actions by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including development of:
policy guidance or regulations on implementing the new law;
outcome measures for state child welfare programs;
an incentive payment system for Title IV-B and IV-E funding;
recommendations for restructuring programs under Title IV-B and IV-E;
a report and policy recommendations on kinship care; and
a report and policy recommendations on substance abuse treatment for families served by child welfare agencies.
Congress. Major supporters of the Adoption and Safe Families Act, including Senator Rockefeller and Senator Mike DeWine (R-OH) have indicated that the new law merely represents a first step in improving the foster care system and have expressed a willingness to address other issues, such as the need for training and lower caseloads, in future legislation.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS
TITLE I: REASONABLE EFFORTS AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOSTER CARE AND ADOPTION PLACEMENTS
Child Health and Safety. The new law clarifies that the child's health and safety must be of paramount concern when making decisions about removal of a child from the home, reunification, and implementation of any aspect of the case plan for children in foster care.
"Reasonable Efforts" to Preserve and Reunify Families. States must continue to make reasonable efforts to preserve and reunify families. However, the reasonable effort requirement does not apply in all cases. The exceptions include cases in which a court has found that:
a child has been subjected to "aggravated circumstances" as defined in state law (including, but not necessarily limited to, abandonment, torture, chronic abuse, and sexual abuse);
a parent has killed or assaulted another of their children or has assaulted the child; or
a parent's rights to a sibling have been involuntarily terminated.
In cases when reasonable efforts to reunify are not required, states are required to hold a permanency hearing within 30 days and to make reasonable efforts to place the child for adoption, with a legal guardian, or other permanent placement.
Concurrent Planning. Reasonable efforts to place a child for adoption or with a legal guardian may be made concurrently with reasonable efforts to preserve or reunify the family.
Documentation of Efforts to Adopt. For every child whose permanency plan is adoption or placement in another permanent home, states are required to document the steps taken to:
find an adoptive family or permanent home;
place the child with the adoptive family, a fit and willing relative, a legal guardian, or in another planned living arrangement; and
finalize the adoption or legal guardianship.
The documentation must include child-specific recruitment efforts, such as use of adoption information exchanges.
Termination of Parental Rights (TPR). States are required to file a petition to terminate parental rights immediately and, concurrently to identify, recruit, process and approve a qualified adoptive family, in the case of:
a child who has been in foster care for 15 of the most recent 22 months;
a child who the court has determined to be an abandoned infant (as defined in state law); or
a court has determined that the parent assaulted the child or killed or assaulted another of their children.
In addition, states may file for termination of parental rights earlier than 15 months or for other reasons.
In determining the 15 of the most recent 22 month limit, the clock starts to run on the date of the first judicial finding of abuse or neglect or 60 days after the child is removed from the home, whichever is earlier. The requirement applies to children already in care as well as to children entering care in the future. For children already in care, states are required to phase in the filing of termination petitions beginning with children for whom the permanency plan is adoption or who have been in care the longest.
The only exceptions to the TPR filing requirement above include cases in which:
the child is being cared for by a relative;
a state agency has documented in the case plan (available for court review) a compelling reason that filing such a petition would not be in the best interests of the child; or
family reunification is the goal and the state has not provided to the family of the child the services in the case plan the state deems necessary for the child's safe return.
Participation in Case Reviews and Hearings. Foster and pre-adoptive parents or relatives providing care for a child are to be given notice and an opportunity to be heard at any review or hearing held with regard to the child. This provision does not make any foster or pre-adoptive parent or relative a party to such a review or hearing, but merely requires the receipt of a notice and an opportunity to be heard.
Criminal Record Checks. Before granting final approval, states are required to conduct criminal records checks for any prospective foster or adoptive parents of a child eligible for federal subsidies. Approval must be denied in any case of a felony conviction for child abuse or neglect, spousal abuse, crimes against children (including child pornography), or crimes involving violence (including rape, sexual assault, or homicide). Approval must be denied for five years after any case of a felony conviction for physical assault, battery, or a drug-related offense.
States could opt out of this provision through written notification from the Governor to the Secretary of HHS or through enactment of state legislation.
Federal Parent Locator Service. Child welfare agencies are authorized to use the Federal Parent Locator Service to assist in locating absent parents for purposes of making or enforcing child custody or visitation orders involving such parents.
TITLE II: INCENTIVES FOR PROVIDING PERMANENT FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN
Adoption Incentive Payments. The Secretary of HHS is required to make adoption incentive payments to states in which adoptions of foster children in FY 1998 exceed the average number during FY 1995-FY 1997 or, in FY 1999 and subsequent years, in which adoptions of foster children are higher than in any previous fiscal year after FY 1996.
Adoption incentive payments are $4,000 for each adoption of a foster child above the base number, plus an additional $2,000 for a total of $6,000 per special needs adoption. For these incentive payments, $20 million is authorized for each of FYs 1999-2003
Health Care Coverage. To be eligible to receive adoption incentive payments for FY 2001 or FY 2002, states are required to provide health insurance coverage to any special needs child for whom there is an adoption assistance agreement between the state and the child's adoptive parents.
Performance Measures for State Child Welfare Programs. The Secretary of HHS, in conjunction with Governors, state legislatures, state and local public officials responsible for administering child welfare programs, and child advocates, must develop outcome measures to assess state child welfare programs and rate state performance according to these measures. HHS must submit an annual report to Congress on state performance, with recommendations for improvements. The first report is due on May 1, 1999.
Outcome measures are to be developed, to the maximum extent possible, from data available from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) and are to include:
length of stay in foster care;
number of foster care placements; and
number of adoptions.
In addition, the Secretary of HHS, in consultation with state and local public child welfare officials and child welfare advocates, is required to develop and recommend to Congress a performance-based incentive funding system for payments under Titles IV-B and IV-E, based (to the extent feasible) on the annual reports required by this provision. No later than six months after enactment, the Secretary must report to Congress on the feasibility of conducting a study, and no later than 15 months after enactment, submit a final report on a performance-based incentive system.
Technical Assistance to Promote Adoption. HHS is authorized, but not funded, to provide technical assistance to states and localities to promote adoption of foster children. The technical assistance, at least half of which is to be provided to courts, may include:
guidelines for expediting termination of parental rights;
encouraged use of concurrent planning;
specialized units and expertise in moving children toward adoption;
risk assessment tools for early identification of children at risk of harm if returned home;
encouraged use of fast tracking for children under age one into pre-adoptive placements; and
programs to place children into pre-adoptive placements prior to termination of parental rights.
Interjurisdictional Adoption. States are required to assure that they will develop plans for the effective use of cross-jurisdictional resources to facilitate timely permanent placements for children awaiting adoption. In addition, states are subject to the loss of all federal Title IV-E funding if the Secretary of HHS finds that, after the date of enactment, a state with responsibility for handling the case has:
denied or delayed the placement of a child for adoption when an approved family was available outside the jurisdiction; or
denied an opportunity for a fair hearing to an individual whose allegation of a violation of this provision was denied by the state or not acted upon with reasonable promptness.
General Accounting Office Study. The General Accounting Office (GAO) is required to study and report to Congress on how to improve procedures and policies to facilitate timely adoptions across state and county lines.
TITLE III: ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS AND REFORMS
Reauthorization and Expansion of the Family Preservation and Support Program. The Family Preservation and Support Program, renamed "Promoting Safe and Stable Families," is reauthorized through FY 2001 at the following levels: $275 million in FY 1999; $295 million in FY 2000; and $305 million in FY 2001 (increases of about $20 million each year over the current baseline). Also reauthorized are existing allocation provisions, including a one percent reserve for Indian tribes, and set-asides for court improvement grants and for evaluation, training, research, and technical assistance.
State plans are required to contain assurances that in administering and conducting programs, the safety of the children to be served will be of paramount concern. States are required to devote significant portions of their expenditures (after spending no more than 10 percent of their allotment for administrative costs) to each of the following four categories of services:
community-based family support services;
family preservation services;
time-limited family reunification services; and
adoption promotion and support services.
Time-limited family reunification services are defined as services and activities provided to children (and their parents) who have been removed from the home and placed in foster care, for up to 15 months, beginning on the date of their removal from the home. Such services and activities may include:
individual, group, and family counseling;
inpatient, outpatient, or residential substance abuse treatment;
mental health services;
assistance to address domestic violence;
temporary child care services and therapeutic services for families, including crisis nurseries; and
Adoption promotion and support services are defined as pre- and post-adoption services and activities designed to expedite the adoption process and support adoptive families.
Permanency Hearings. States are required to hold a first dispositional hearing, reanamed a "permanency" hearing, within 12 months (formerly 18 months) of the date the child is considered to have entered foster care. Entrance is defined as the earlier of the date of the first judicial finding of child abuse or neglect or 60 days after the child's removal from the home.
The purpose of the hearing is to determine the child's permanency plan, which would include the timetable for:
returning home;
being placed for adoption;
being placed with a relative;
being referred for legal guardianship; or
being placed in another planned, permanent living arrangement.
Health Care Coverage for Adopted Children with Special Needs. States are required to provide health insurance coverage for any child with special needs for whom there is an adoption assistance agreement between the state and the adoptive parents and who the state has determined could not be placed for adoption without medical assistance because the child has special needs for medical, mental health, or rehabilitative care. Such health insurance coverage can be provided through Medicaid or one or more state medical assistance programs, if coverage is Medicaid-comparable.
Quality Standards of Out-of-Home Care. By January 1, 1999, states must certify that they will develop and implement standards to ensure that children in foster care placements in public or private agencies receive quality services that protect the safety and health of children.
Eligibility for Adoption Assistance in Cases of Dissolved Adoptions. Children with special needs who had previously been eligible for federally subsidized adoption assistance under Title IV-E, and who again become available for adoption because of the dissolution of their adoption or death of their adoptive parents, continue to be eligible for assistance under Title IV-E in a subsequent adoption. This provision applies only to children whose subsequent adoption occurs on or after October 1, 1997.
Eligibility for Independent Living Services. Young people who are no longer eligible for federal foster care assistance because their savings and other assets exceed $1,000 will still be eligible for independent living services provided their assets do not exceed $5,000.
Child Welfare Demonstrations. The Secretary of HHS may approve up to 10 demonstration projects in each of FYs 1998 through 2002 that are likely to promote the objectives of the federal foster care and adoption program. In approving demonstrations, the Secretary must take into consideration the effect of the demonstration on any court orders in the state for violations of federal requirements under Title IV-B or IV-E and must consider applications designed to:
identify and address barriers resulting in delays in adoptive placements for foster children;
identify and address parental substance abuse problems that endanger children and result in foster care placements; and
address kinship care.
Health Care Coverage. Demonstrations can be approved only for those states providing health insurance coverage to any child with special needs for whom there is in effect an adoption assistance agreement between the state and an adoptive parent or parents.
Kinship Care Report. The Secretary of HHS is required to convene an advisory panel on kinship care and submit an initial report to the advisory panel on the extent to which foster children are
placed with relatives, no later than June 1, 1998. The advisory panel will review the Secretary's initial report and submit comments by October 1, 1998. Based on these comments and other information, the Secretary will submit a final report by June 1, 1999 to the Committees on Ways and Means and Finance, containing recommendations.
TITLE IV: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Coordination of Substance Abuse and Child Protection Services. The Secretary of HHS is required to submit a report to the Committees on Ways and Means and Finance on substance abuse services. The report must be based on information from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Administration for Children and Families and include:
the scope of the problem of substance abuse in families served by child welfare agencies;
the types of services provided to such families;
the outcomes resulting from the provision of such services; and
any recommendations for legislation to improve coordination in providing services to families.
Standby Guardianship. It is the sense of Congress that states should have laws and procedures permitting a parent who is chronically ill or near death to designate a standby guardian for their minor child, without surrendering their own parental rights. The standby guardian's authority would take effect upon the parent's death, mental incapacity or physical debilitation and consent.
Preservation of Reasonable Parenting. Nothing in this legislation is intended to disrupt the family unnecessarily or intrude inappropriately into family life or prohibit the use of reasonable methods of parental discipline or to prescribe a particular method of parenting.
Purchasing American-made Equipment. It is the sense of Congress that, to the greatest extent possible, all equipment and products purchased with funds provided under this Act should be American-made.
Funding. $40 million (over four years) is taken from the $2 billion federal Contingency Fund for State Welfare Programs, created by the 1996 welfare reform law. The Secretary of HHS is required to make recommendations to Congress by March 1, 1998 for improving the operation of the contingency fund.

Why does your company need an Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS)?
Having a OHSMS in place provides your company with confidence that you are in conformance with governmental health and safety policies.
An OHSMS shows commitment and awareness of health and safety issues and potential issues to third parties and demonstrates responsibility, and provides a framework to address all future health and safety concerns, while ensuring that there is a defined methodology in place to address each potential risk before the problem occurs.
McDonald Consulting Group can help you implement the system that works for you whether you implement a compliant OHSMS — either by registering externally to the international standard ISO 45001; or by implementing a system that meets the requirements but is self-declaring. We will work with you to implement the pieces you need, and build on what you already have. We'll perform internal audits for legal and regulatory compliance, or help you generate your Legal Register, assess your Risk, and implement programs that comply with regulations.


Trademarked and copyrighted. Don't even think about it.
The MMO has undergone a slow and steady metamorphosis since the genre's early days. When MUDs begat commercial games with actual graphics, we were introduced to level grinding, and from there, well, you know how it goes. Maybe "metamorphosis" is too generous a term, but then you have to consider something like Guild Wars, which, by way of marrying certain essential MMO elements with functional bits and pieces from the vast universe of gamedom, offers a glimpse of "true nextdom." Maybe it's actually not too generous a term.
As MMO enthusiasts, we all like to ruminate on what the games we play will be like five, 10, or 50 years down the line. Will we still be slaying drag0n monstars with 39 of our friends for phat lewt? Will we be using mice, keyboards, hotkeys, Ventrilo, vodka and Red Bull, and guild forums to ease our interface into these worlds? These are all pertinent questions. And since I have a column with which to write about this topic, I figured I would tackle absolutely none of them. Instead, I'm going to take this week's Onlife to describe my dream MMO. I realize that I may be squandering valuable space in which I could be writing about something that's actually salient and relevant in the world of online gaming, but that's too bad. It's been a very busy couple of weeks for me, and I need to let the rubber band that's coiled up in my cranium unwind. So by all means, cry more.
Before I start, I would like to give a warning to whatever employees of game developers and publishers may be reading this: I know the idea that I'm about to present is the bomb-biggity, but don't even think for one second about stealing it. This piece is copyrighted, kid. Signed, sealed, and delivered. Don't play with me. I'mma get real litigious on you with the quickness if I see anything resembling this concept coming out in the next few years, and you'd better believe that. If you want to use any of this, I expect to be paid in full. That's the real talk, man. Mess around and I'll air you out, for real, for real.
Basically, imagine a game in which you could have anything fight against anything. You could pick, say, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and put it up against an F-14 Tomcat. Or you could pit a Doom-style space marine against a group of twenty robot dogs. Or the 1981 Miami Dolphins versus Rambo riding on the back of a Dewback from Star Wars armed with Excalibur. You get the picture. Anything is possible. You know those heated discussions you had with your friends in elementary school phys. ed. about who was stronger, Wolverine, or a ninja? This is pretty much a game about those conversations.
A badger (100 point base value).
It's not going to be an MMO in the same way that Risk Your Life: Path of the Emperor is an MMO. It's going to be massively-multiplayer in the sense that you'll have a whole universe of players with which to clash violent imaginations. When you log in, you won't be in a "world," per se. Instead, you'll be presented with a database of sorts from which you can choose and customize your "fighter" -- "fighter" being a catch-all term that can encompass single entities (e.g., The Lone Ranger, a crocodile, or the Starship Enterprise), or collectives (the First Reconnaissance Battalion Marines, the Avengers, or all the Presidents of the United States). The database will be fully searchable, cross-indexed, and intuitively designed. Think Wikipedia, but more awesome.
The first question on your mind must be one of balance. Well, here's how things will work: if you've ever played tabletop Warhammer, then you're familiar with the concept of points-based battles. You have, say, 2000 points to spend on an army, and every unit is assigned an arbitrary value. If you want a bunch of big, powerful units, then expect to have a smaller force as a whole. Who Would Win? will work the same way. Different fighter types will be assigned base values depending on their inherent power. Humanoids and beasts will cost less than things like battleships or police forces, but players will be presented with a vast number of ways to make up for any points-based disparities.


Wilkie Collins was born as William Wilkie Collins on 8th January 1824 was a Victorian era author. He was born in Marylebone, London where he stayed for almost his entire life that spanned sixty five years.
His most famous works that are still serenaded today were the Moonstone and The Woman in White.
The moonstone is said to be the very first detective novel ever written whereas the Woman in White is the now typical, sensational novel. Apart from these celebrated works, he also authored thirty books, a hundred or so articles, essays, short stories and twelve or more plays.
Armadale was first published in 1864–66. Armadale is the 3rd of the four famous novels written by Collins during the 1860s.
Wilkie Collins published No Name in 1862. Main theme of the novel is illegitimacy. Charles Dickens' magazine All the Year Round originally serialised it before it was published as a book.
The haunted hotel might sound like a ghost story and yes, there is a ghost as well. However, it is more of a mystery novel.
The Woman in White has many famous quotes which you can read below.
Wilkie Collins embraced what might be called the out of the box or bohemian style of living. He appreciated food and drink, often to a large degree, stylish clothes and women. He is also known to have consumed opium as an antidote for his failing health later on in his life. His social circle consisted of people just like him, artists, authors, poets and such like. Charles Dickens was one such friend with whom he worked and socialized with.
His other friends included novelists, actors and actresses, musicians, playwrights, physicians and also the social butterflies of the Victorian era. The way he lived portrays a bone deep cynicism and disregard for the way of living during the Victorian era. This thought was conveyed in his books and other works infused with humorous references and also the comprehension of the prevalent cruelties and injustice meted out to the society at large.
Wilkie Collins was the first child of William Collins who was a well-known landscapist and an artist. He got his name from his godfather, Sir David Wilkie. His schooling commenced in 1835 at the Maida Hill academy. However, after two years he was forced to leave and travel to France and Italy along with his parents and the recently born younger brother Charles.
Later in life, he admitted that the trip to Italy had done him a world of good ad that he got to learn a lot about art, landscapes and persons that he ever would have learned, had he stayed at school. After their return to London, he recommenced his studies at Coles. He claimed to have told his very first story to a hostel bully to lay him off and that otherwise he would never have known that this talent lay dormant in him.
Physically, Wilkie Collins was short with rather large head and shoulders. He started wearing spectacles in his early twenties. He later joined Lincolns Inn to study law, although he never practiced it. He, however, used the law to write his stories.
His other prominent works include Basil, Hide and Seek, Antonina and the Dead Secret. His health remained fragile and in 1889, after an accident, he got bronchitis and a stroke and finally passed away on the 23rd September.
Here are some of the famous quotes by Wilkie Collins.

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx – 'I Think We Made Right Decision' Postponing Stadium Tour to 2022
Emma McIntyre, Getty Images
While some touring has come back in 2021 after the 2020 pandemic, Motley Crue decided to once again push their massive stadium tour with Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett until 2022. In a new interview with Yahoo! Entertainment (as seen below), bassist Nikki Sixx says that given all the factors involved, he feels it was the right decision.
"We thought we were gonna tour this year," explained Sixx. "Then the delta variant came. And some of my friends went out and did it, and some have had no problems, some have had big problems."
He adds, "On a business level, you can't get COVID insurance. So if you've got a big show — Motley, Def Leppard, Poison, Joan Jett — that's generating a lot of… If that show goes down because somebody whatever, you just lose money, and you can only lose so many shows and then you're basically on tour for free. So we chose to stay back, waiting to see how AEGs and Live Nations and how other bands were gonna handle it. And I think we made the right decision."
Sixx also opened up about their approach to putting on the massive touring bill and when they'll start preparing again. "We restart designing the show in April. It's basically designed, but there's some new technology that happened in the last few years we might wanna involve. And then we've already got our set — it's done — so it's not like we have to have that meeting where it's, like, 'I wanna play this song' or 'I wanna play this song.' Everybody agreed on these songs, and it's a really cool set, and there's some medleys in it."
He added, "We start band rehearsals in May. I don't know what that looks like. We like to rehearse for three or four weeks. Even if we have four weeks and we're pretty tight at three weeks, sometimes you lose a day here and there — a guy gets sick or someone's car breaks down — so we always [give ourselves] four weeks. And then we go to Atlanta where the tour opens and we do pre-production with everybody on the bill and we set the show up and tear the show down so it all fits. And then June 19, I think, the tour starts. And I can't wait."

On World Vegetarian Day, celebrated on October 1 worldwide, Animal Friends sent a letter to the Prime Minister, Zoran Milanovic. The reason for addressing the Croatian Prime Minister was when, this summer, looking at 23,500 chickens through a window at a farm in Gradiste, he said to the farm owner that - "all human problems are the result of eating animals"-.
Animal Friends organization has been educating the public on animal rights and sustainable living for 13 years and it can only confirm the truth behind the Prime Minister's words and agree that intensive farming and eating of animals causes long-term negative effects on all, people, animals and the natural environment. Intensive farming and killing of animals for food is connected with the mass consumption of natural resources, world hunger and the cataclysmic destruction of the environment, as it is unsustainable.
Animal Friends believe that Prime Minister Milanovic truly understands how right his words are, in every way. Meat is the least cost-effective food we eat: the price for one kilogram of meat -sourced proteins is twenty times higher than the price of an equal amount of vegetable sourced proteins This is the reason why countries subsidize the meat, milk and egg industries. Cattle, worldwide, alone consume the same amount of food that is sufficient to meet the calorie needs of 8.7 billion people – more that the entire human population on Earth.
Moreover, Animal Friends says that the Prime Minister, surely, must know that one third of arable land in the world is used for the cultivation of grains as food for animals. In order to prepare these fields for the growing of grains, trees must be cut down and water must be drained, which results in releasing large amounts of greenhouse gases. In addition, we must include the production of methane in cattle and the large amounts of energy spent for the production of artificial fertilizers. Soil, groundwater, rivers and creeks are polluted by so much animal faecal waste, by the dirty water resulting from unnecessary meat production and by pesticide residues. Producing food from animal products uses daily ten times the amount of fresh, drinking quality water than you or I need in one day.
It is also known that a diet consisting of excess food of animal origin is directly related to an increased risk of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. These risks can be reduced and even prevented by changing one's eating habits.
Animal Friends feels that Croatia is a country striving for civilized progress, and therefore, cannot ignore the fact that, each year, tens of billions of animals in the world are exposed to extreme suffering because of farming policies and are brutally slaughtered to support an unhealthy and, in the long term, the unsustainable eating of meat, milk and eggs.
On World Vegetarian Day on October 1, Animal Friends celebrated that a meatless diet is followed by over 160 thousand Croatians, and according to the most recent public opinion polls, 86 percent of Croatian citizens support vegetarianism, while almost 30 percent of us said they would consider becoming vegetarians.
Animal Friends have said that they advocate a sustainable lifestyle. This means that taking natural resources to fulfil human needs must not endanger the balance of nature and all natural environments in any way. Animal Friends also believe that political decisions must be made only taking into consideration nature's rights, This will help create a better future for all citizens of Croatia. Finally, we know that the Prime Minister's words will help encourage sustainable development and the healthier eating habits of the Croatian people.

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 6 Episode 4 Preview: "Code Yellow" Photos and Plot
By Rebecca Murray on May 28, 2019 Featured, TV, TV Photos, TV Show Clips
ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season six continues with episode four airing on May 31, 2019. The episode titled "Code Yellow" was directed by Mark Kolpack from a script by Nora Zuckerman and Lilia Zuckerman. Series co-creator/executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen puts in a cameo appearance in the episode playing a character named Sequoia who's described as a social media influencer.
"We had talked about the possibility of a cameo at some point in our run, but when the Zuckerman sisters crafted the treasure that is Sequoia, I was all in," said Tancharoen via SYFY WIRE. "I might've bit off more than I could chew, but it was so much fun to shift gears and play in front of the camera with a cast and crew I've worked closely with for six years."
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs on Fridays at 8pm ET/PT.
The season six episode four guest cast includes Barry Shabaka Henley, Lucas Bryant, Shainu Bala, Brooke Williams, Winston James Francis, and Matt O'Leary.
Season six stars Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Henry Simmons, Natalia Cordova-Buckley, and Jeff Ward.
The "Code Yellow" Plot – Yo-Yo and Keller take things public; parasitic aliens threaten the human race; and someone really needs boba.
The Season Six Plot:
"Last season, the team leaped forward in time to a dystopian future they soon realized must be prevented. While facing multiple timelines and new enemies from faraway planets, they found family, friends, teammates and the courage to pull off their biggest challenge yet.
Their next challenge? Coming to grips with the knowledge that bending the laws of space and time may have saved the planet, but it couldn't save Fitz or Coulson."

Q: Windows Remote Desktop logging I have a Windows 7 machine that several folks Remote Desktop into.  I'm looking for a way to log who (IP address) has logged in locally (on the machine that has been logged into) and/or if there is a snazzy way to email myself a notification whenever someone logs in that would be even better.
Is this just a matter of port listening?  Can Windows do this on it's on without third party tools?

A: I don't think this is the end solution but in the interim you could create a shell or batch script that executes at log in and sends an email.  The other option is tapping into the EventLogs.  Perhaps you can email something form the event log.

Supreme Court Justice Profile: Antonin Scalia
Previously in the series, we focused on Justice Samuel Alito, who's lived a fascinating life up to being elected as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. To continue, we'll now move on and set our eyes on a teammate of his, namely Justice Antonin Scalia.
As a child of Sicilian immigrants, he's considered the first Italian-American to be elected into the position as Associate Justice.
Here are some facts on Justice Antonin Scalia.
Profession: Lawyer, Judge
Georgetown University, 1957 (Summa Cum Laude)
University of Fribourg (Junior Year)
Harvard University Law School, 1960 (Magna Cum Laude)
Born in Trenton, New Jersey as the only child of Salvatore Scalia—a professor of Romance languages—and Catherine Panaro-Scalia, both Sicilian Immigrants, Antonin lived a rather modest life. When he was six years old, his family moved to Elmhurts, Queens in New York City.
There, he went to Xavier High School in Manhattan, where he also obtained a scholarship. While in school, he spent much of his time on academics. He was a prodigy as described by one of his teachers, considered the top student of his class.
He continued his high school education at Georgetown University in 1953, graduating as valedictorian. He went on to college at the same school, where he graduated summa cum laude upon graduation in 1957 with a degree in history. He decided to pursue law at Harvard Law School, which was where he met his wife, Maureen McCarthy.
He later graduated magna cum laude in 1960 and landed his first job at the Jones, Day, Cockley, and Reavis law firms in Cleveland, Ohio a year after. He then became a professor the University of Virginia Law School in 1967.
In 1967, he decided to enter public service when he served as General Counsel for the Office of Telecommunications policy. After the Watergate scandal in 1974, Scalia was appointed to the Office of Legal Council as Assistant Attorney General.
And then, in 1982, Scalia was chosen as the Court of Appeals Justice for the District of Columbia. Being critical of the Supreme Court, President Ronald Reagan recognized his prowess and later nominated him to the position of Associate Justice. He was confirmed and inducted to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1986 and has served his post ever since.

Anastasia Dimitrova (en  ;  - 1894) est la première professeure bulgare de la période connue comme la Renaissance nationale. En 1840, elle fonde, dans sa ville natale, Pleven, la première école de filles en Bulgarie.

Biographie et formation
Dimitrova est née à Pleven, le , dans une famille pauvre: sa mère est une servante dans une maison d'évêques. Elle commence sa formation scolaire avec un évêque dont sa mère est servante. En 1836-1839, elle continue ses études, maintenant au couvent Kalofer, ayant contact avec des professeurs célèbres de l'époque, comme Rayno Popovich et Botyo Petkov. Elle étudie l'histoire, la géographie, l'arithmétique et la grammaire.

Carrière
En , elle fonde une école laïque pour des filles dans sa ville natale. L'école est parrainée par l'évêque local et utilise des livres d'occasion en slavon d'église; en plus du bulgare, les étudiantes étudient aussi le grec. En dépit d'une courte interruption dans ces activités scolaires, elle reprend son travail en 1842. En 1845, l'école de Pleven reçoit 90 jeunes femmes, de Pleven, Lovech, Troyan, Tarnovo, Vratsa et d'autres villes. Des anciennes élèves créent leurs propres écoles dans leurs villes d'origine.

Lorsqu'elle se marie, en 1852, Dimitrova abandonne l'école, mais continue à travailler en tant que professeure particulière pour environ 10 filles.

Décès
Chrétienne fervente, Dimitrova visite Jérusalem en 1894. Elle meurt peu de temps après, vivant toujours à la Terre sainte.

Students who were recently exposed to deadly and rare diseases by other students at Defiance College have fallen victim to yet another crime: kidnapping. Defiance Regional Medical Center administration and local authorities report that Jon Freeman, Sara Perkins, and Kyle Stanton were kidnapped from the ICU just prior to being airlifted to University of Toledo's Medical Center. Authorities are pursuing leads on suspects in the case, and the victims photos have been released in a hope to locate them before lack of treatment causes their plight to become dire.
On the heels of the kidnapping of their victims, strangely, the transport vehicle carrying the suspects in the Defiance College disease exposure case was overturned by a crowd of angry protestors, insisting upon their innocence. Though some of the protestors were arrested in the wake of the incident, the suspects were freed and remain at large. Their photos are included.
Construction on a new building near Railroad Avenue and Hickory Street has uncovered what is believed to be an abandoned cemetery. Though this structure no longer bore headstones, construction came to a halt on Wednesday, September 4th when multiple remains were disturbed, their coffins crushed by machinery. The age of these remains is still in question, as well as their identity, and so work is suspended until authorities can enter the area to analyze and resolve the situation.


Really? $120 billion in untapped investment money is available, according to Money for Good research.
If only social entrepreneurs could open the spigot?
Yep! Investors do want to do well by doing good. Worthwhile social enterprises abound. What's keeping the two apart?
That's the 120-billion-dollar question, raised by the research.
It's the question that will be discussed at the Social Capital Markets Conference (SOCAP) in October.
How, indeed, do social entrepreneurs convince these potential investors to put their money in social enterprises, to consider social impact and the triple-bottom line?
It's a great question. And I have an answer that is based on my years of experience in marketing. That answer is, of course, marketing. The concept of impact investing has to be marketed as good for your portfolio as well as the world. For more about that, check out my entry in the SOCAP blog contest.
The contest is designed to get the conversation started. The winner gets a free pass to the conference, which will be an energizing and inspiring gathering of impact investment strategists and entrepreneurs.
Yes, my answer is one of the entries. Yes, I'd like you to vote for it. Just look for my picture next to the blog.
It's not an easy vote to cast; you have to register at the site and then validate your registration by responding to an email.
Check it out … before Sept. 14 when the voting closes. Yes, I want you to vote for me but I also want you to be inspired by the energy, creativity and size of the social enterprise sector and its potential to change the world.


Rhode Island averages 0 tornados per year, resulting in an average of 0 fatalities. Counties in a high risk tornado area include Providence County, RI, Bristol County, RI and Kent County, RI. The largest tornado on record occurred on 08/07/1986, measuring a 2 on the Fujita-Pearson scale.


The perpetrator of the Friday bomb attack on Al Ridha Mosque in Al Ahsa in the Eastern Province has been identified as Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah Bin Sulaiman Al Tuwaijri, a 22-year-old Saudi national. The interior ministry said on Saturday, January 30, said that the attacker who bombed the mosque in Al Mahasin neighbourhood had been arrested two years ago for taking part in a rally to call for the release of detainees.
A second suicide bomber was arrested during the attack and he is being treated for wounds, the ministry said, adding that details about his identity will be revealed later.
The statement said that four Saudi citizens were killed and 33 were injured in the attack. Three security servicemen were also wounded.
"So far, 19 of the injured citizens have left the hospital following their treatment whereas the other 14 and the three policemen are still being treated," the ministry said.
The security forces will continue their efforts to identify and track down all those involved in the attack through planning, execution, support and direct or indirect incitement," the ministry pledged.
During a visit to the injured at the hospital, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Nayef Bin Abdul Aziz expressed national resolve to address terrorism.
"What happened on Friday will only reinforce our determination to root out terrorists," he said. "They are serving a specific agenda, but thank God, we are reversing their objectives," Prince Mohammad, also Saudi Arabia's interior minister, said.
According to a Saudi report, the suicide bomber's father did not notice any change in his son's attitudes when they were together on Thursday, hours before the deadly attack widely condemned in Saudi Arabia and well beyond.
"There was nothing peculiar or strange about him, and he was such a devoted and obedient son," he said, Al Arabiya news site reported. "When we talked on Thursday, there was no indication to what was going to happen on Friday. The other man implicated with him in the attack is close to him and they often did things together," he said.
"I am sure my son has been subjected to a magical act. I do not know how they reached him, especially that he rarely left the house and never mingled with suspicious people. He never left Saudi Arabia and he does not even have a passport. I do not know how my son has been charged" he said.

Home Sports Basketball Hawks bow out in first round, foundation of success built
Hawks bow out in first round, foundation of success built
Woodland senior Ryan Angeloszek, pictured during the NVL tournament last month, along with teammates Billy Alfiere, and Dan Giacomazzi drew praise from coach Tom Hunt for their work ethic this year. Woodland played their last game of the season Tuesday as the Hawks lost 66-52 to Bloomfield in the first round of the Class S tournament. –RA ARCHIVE
BLOOMFIELD — For the second time in three years, the Woodland boys were eliminated from the Class M state tournament in the first round by Bloomfield. But Tuesday night's game was a bit different from the 2010 version.
This time, it wasn't a 95-69 blowout pasted upon the Hawks by the eventual state runner-up. Instead, the Warhawks struggled to put away Woodland until late in the fourth quarter of a 66-52 contest.
The Hawks (11-11) trailed by eight entering the final period and cut the lead down to as few as three, according to coach Tom Hunt. But a stretch of five straight scoreless possessions by Woodland slowed its momentum before Bloomfield (12-9) stretched the lead.
Hunt said he earned a technical foul in the last minute of the game to account for the double-digit margin. Otherwise, the final score would have better indicated how competitive the game was.
"It's not a good place to play," Hunt said of Bloomfield. "They're a real good team from a real good conference. It was a tough draw for us. But after being in the tournament for three straight years, the kids showed that they feel they're supposed to be there. There was no fear. It was a different situation from two years ago."
Sophomore Tanner Kingsley, who finished third in the Naugatuck Valley League with an average of 18.6 points per game, led the Hawks with 19. In the final games of their careers, Ryan Angeloszek scored 11 and Billy Alfiere added eight. Junior Kirk Chamenko posted 11 points.
Even though Woodland's season ended earlier than it did last year, when the Hawks won their first state tournament game since 2005, this one will go down as a measure of continued success for Hunt.
This season marked the first time in program history that the team reached the state tournament for a third consecutive season, the first time that the team posted back-to-back .500 records, and the first time the Hawks reached the NVL tournament in two straight years.
"I thought that this group coming back with only one starter (Angeloszek) returning heading into the season, we needed some guys to get minutes to be comfortable," Hunt said. "Tanner stepped up, which was phenomenal, Billy Alfiere was a great captain all year, and Dan Giacomazzi always worked hard. We hit our stride at the end of the season. These guys kept working all year."
Angeloszek, Alfiere, and Giacomazzi were subjects of praise by Hunt, who have together worked to transform Woodland from a perennial loser to a more-than-respectable bunch.
"The seniors that graduate this year really have helped me build the foundation for this program," Hunt said. "It's a tribute to them that we've been to the tournament three straight years. The three captains this year set the bar for what we'll do going forward."
Angeloszek, in particular, has made a special impact.
"Ryan Angeloszek has definitely left his mark on the program," Hunt said. "I've never had anyone work harder than Ryan did this year. People don't understand the yeoman's work that he did throughout his whole career. The rebounding, the defense, he did all the little things to be a complete player."
Now that the foundation has continued to harden, Hunt said he's already excited for his sixth season.
"With Kirk, Dave Uhl, Tanner, and Steve Baeder, those are four solid guys that I'm looking forward to continuing with next year," Hunt said. "The younger guys now know what we need to do to keep being successful."

As he drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If this day you only knew what makes for peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation" (Luke 19: 41-44).
Life is a spiritual war, make no mistake about it. Satan wants to smash and humiliate you by enslaving you to sin and your feelings. We need Christ and our spiritual armor.
Lord, help me to put on the armor of God (Read Ephesians 6: 10-18).
Impact Sports: Do I have the strength to be a spiritual leader on my team?
Impact Life: Am I a slave to a certain sin? Or am I strong enough to say, "no".

Two people were killed, and millions of doses of food were stopped due to the vaccine given from a bad lot
TLDR: Two people have been killed after a dose of the 19-dose modern-day vaccine was suspended in Japan, following which the dose was suspended.
According to a report by the foreign agency Reuters, the Ministry of Health of Japan says that Japan decided to stop using 1.63 million doses of the modern vaccine of Corona after reports of several doses of spoilage.
Takida, in charge of the sales and distribution of Moderna, said it had received reports from several vaccination centers that foreign ingredients were found inside the vaccine's sealed bottles.
The company says it has decided to suspend the use of the three batches of the vaccine after consulting the Ministry of Health.
Takida said it had informed Moderna about the matter and had "requested an investigation on an urgent basis."
On the other hand, Moderna said in a statement that "a lot has been reported in Japan."
"Moderna believes that the manufacturing problem arose in one of the many lines at its manufacturing site in Spain, but so far safety or utility issues have not been identified," he added.
Without elaborating, he said, "Moderna has stopped this lot of vaccine and the two adjacent lots as a precaution."
"We have not received any reports of health problems due to external factors," Katsunobu Kato, a top Japanese government spokesman, told reporters.

i would often drive into boston to meet my husband. my two young children were always in the car giving me helpful directions on which way to turn. i usually managed to find a parking garage and then we would share a nice lunch with dad. but the parking garages always seemed to spit you out in a direction opposite of where you entered. i always managed to lose my sense of direction at that point, and would just begin navigating through the series of one ways and narrow streets. each time, i would eventually end up in chinatown … which was my saving grace as i knew where the ramps were at that point to get back on the highway to drive home. so … we were often lost, but always found ourselves … with a little help from chinatown.
Congratulations to Rachael! For sharing her story about being lost in Disney World, she wins a copy of THE QUICKENING MAZE.
Shaky from eating only goldfish, guzzling starbucks double shots, and chain smoking I was lost in East Harlem at 1 a.m. After running red lights, ending up in Brooklyn for awhile, alternating crying and laughing hysterically a lovely cab driver saved me by allowing me to use his phone and call my friend to come and get me. This is my tribute to cell phones and why I bought one shortly after.

Hotel Saint Roch - Courchevel 1850 (F)
Alpine emotions
In Courchevel 1850 radical renovation work has turned Hotel St. Roch into an architectural gem, a combination of neo-baroque stylistic elements and echoes of the Alpine tradition
Riccardo Bianchi
Marco Berenguer
Noelle Bonnemaison Tournier
La Carlerie
Courchevel 1850, the St. Tropez of the snows, is one of France's most prestigious Alpine resorts. The high-end tourists that come here seek accommodation that offers ever higher levels of luxury and charm, together with a modern interpretation of local architectural traditions. The classic hotel-chalet is no longer sufficient, so the values of the rural past must be revamped according to today's lifestyles.
These socio-aesthetic considerations led the hoteliers of Courchevel 1850 (or at least the more farsighted ones) to remodel some of the town's most popular hotels and offer a higher standard of luxury. Such was the case of Hotel St. Roch. In charge of the project to convert it into the smallest and most charming of Courchevel's luxury hotels was Noelle Bonnemaison Tournier, designer, interior decorator and wife of Eric Tournier, one of the area's hotel industry tycoons. "The renovation work was extensive and involved all the interiors and outdoor areas," she explained. The building's shell underwent a major facelift that involved restoring the natural stone masonry to view and reordering the colours and sequences of the façades and using highlighted profiles to enhance the long balconies and the large panoramic windows in the communal areas.
The transformation inside was even more dramatic. "Let me begin by saying that it was not my intention to indulge in an exercise in style – it's not in my nature," the designer commented. "I simply used new materials and ideas with a view to creating something that looked like it had been there forever, a synthesis of the modern and the traditional, in keeping, of course, with the Alpine surroundings." This kind of approach that embraces controlled experimentation was reflected in the aesthetic treatment of the suites and rooms, each one interpreted differently in accordance with a vision of the hotel as the ideal extension of domestic intimacy. "Each has its own volumes, lights and decor, and yet all are based on two main themes: silver and bronze," Noelle Tournier explains. Opulent colour themes grace this exuberant interior that is both neo-baroque and sophisticated in its orchestration of shapes, its choice and arrangement of furnishings and its combination of shades and textures.
The same was done for the bathrooms, where the ceramic wall and floor tiles, all of them strictly Italian made, play a major role. "I opted for 'Crocotiles' from Settecento Mosaici e Ceramiche d'Arte primarily for the crocodile skin effect texture, which happens to be one of my favourite decorative motifs and which I have often used here," Noelle Tournier explains. "I was also struck by the rectangular format and found its 3:1 ratio between the longer and shorter sides highly unusual and original, as well as very similar to the ashlar stone of the outer shell. And, last but not least, the colours and patinas: black and grey to enhance the silver theme and brown the bronze theme. The contrast between the glossy crocodile tiles and the matt of the plain tiles are an added bonus."
Italian ceramic products also took pride of place in the spa's hammam. "I had no hesitation whatsoever with regard to this area. I immediately fell in love with the 'Musiva' mosaic for its slate effect, its original colours and textures and range of different sizes. Now that the work is complete, I see that my instincts weren't wrong: the hammam is an absolute gem, a black diamond that shines with the myriad reflections of water and optical fibres."

"The Voice of a Falling Star"
Star Trek #18 (IDW)
Written by Ryan Parrott
Artist: Claudia Balboni
Cover by Tim Bradstreet
Uhura and Spock share the memory of a personal moment from her past.
Read the story summary at Memory Beta
This issue does not have an official title, but was called "The Voice of a Falling Star" in the trade paperback compilation in which it was reprinted, so I've placed that name here. In the original study I made of the issue, I titled it "The Last Conversation", inspired by a line of dialog in the story.
Notes from the Star Trek Chronology
This story establishes the beginning of the romantic relationship between Uhura and Spock at Starfleet Academy. The story must take place some time after the events of the Starfleet Academy youth novels, where we saw the hint of an attraction develop between them, (see The Edge, The Delta Anomaly, The Gemini Agent, and The Assassination Game).
Page 3 reveals that Uhura has a taste for Rokeg blood pie. This is a Klingon dish seen or mentioned in various episodes of the Next Generation era ST TV series'.
This story reveals that Spock and Uhura have experienced a mind meld together during a Vulcan courting ritual called emafa kito.
For some reason, the image of Uhura has a little girl from page 7, panel 3 is seen on the right-hand edge of page 4, panel 1, except in a red-colored outfit instead of blue. Some kind of a misprint?
Page 5 reveals that Uhura has an Uncle Raheem. Was he the husband of Aunt Uhnu, mentioned in The Delta Anomaly?
On page 7, Raheem announces the shuttle was damaged by a meteorite. He probably should use the term "meteor" instead because "meteorite" is technically a term reserved only for meteors that survive impact with a planet.
