I'm going to be your Symbiostock liaison from now on so don't hesitate to throw me questions if you have any. We'll be updating you as releases are made but I wanted to let you all know that me and Leo are extremely excited about some of the things we are doing with Symbiostock.
We're hoping that with your continued support and involvement, we will be able to not only enhance Symbiostock's current offering, but really expand its reach so that you can even use the system to generate sales and find customers at a level that competes with large microstock companies.
I have been a contributor for a long time, but am still somewhat new to the Symbiostock community so I'll be relying on you guys for a little guidance at times. I will keep you updated on release dates as we near launch, and again, throw me any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them.
Do you have a Symbiostock site?
I don't see any links to a portfolio, and I understand that people sometimes need to remain anonymous for various reasons, however, if you want to be a liaison for Symbiostock site owners, I think it'd be nice to know a bit more about you.
I wasn't involved with Symbiostock from the beginning, but did become pretty active until Leo blew his stack a few times and largely torpedoed the community and declared the project done. Right now, before I have any interest in release dates or features, I'd need to have some confidence that this next round of development was going to be different.
Leo gets huge kudos for getting Symbiostock off the ground, but if it's to go anywhere, there needs to be some confidence among those who invest massive amounts of time in getting their sites going that this will stick around for the long haul.
As for a specific question, how is it that a collection of indie self-hosted sites will find customers at a level that competes with large microstock companies? Sounds nice, but building a presence isn't easy and courting buyers when there are some really good (for the buyer) options out there will take some work. Care to elaborate a bit?
Unlike the previous Symbiostock community effort, I'm rather hoping I can focus more on coding and less on everything else, which brings us to: Robin!
He is a coder like myself and quite experienced in the areas he has presented himself in.
There is more to be said, but this was simply an announcement to state that everything is still running (you can see the original site is up to date) and that there is more to come.
Thanks for the questions and comments. I have actually visited your site a number of times and am really glad to see that you are not only using Symbiostock, but actively promoting the project through your slideshows. One of my priorities is to ensure current Symbiostock users like yourself don't feel left out of the loop.
Symbiostock is a fantastic idea. When I first found out about it I was blown away that someone had already actuated an idea that was bubbling in my own mind. Why was I interested in it? The same reason as all of you - I am a contributor, and I want to be able to market my images on my terms. This is the primary drive behind both my and Leo's passions towards it.
This never wavered with Leo - he has been working steadily on the current version, just not been very vocal about it. That's where I come in - I will try to answer contributor questions to try to bridge that gap so you too can be excited about the future of the project, as we both are.
Right now, unfortunately, I can't get into the specifics of certain aspects of our plans because they are still in the developmental stages. What is important, however, is for us to let you know that the project is alive and going strong, and that soon we will be releasing a new version of Symbiostock that should make things like installations, tweaking, and personalization a lot easier. And don't worry - you will be able to seamlessly port your current sites onto the new engine.
You'll get to know more about me as we communicate more, but I hope this has answered a few of your questions.
agree. One of the biggest problems in my view.
Such a shame in Symbiostock plugged the power to change the market in a win-win situation for profit of contributors and buyers.
I'm concerned symbiostock may cost a bit ($ 10 month) if it is stable and will be expanded.
But the buyer needs a nice looking global search.
Many buyers do not want a single vendor but an agency feeling.
2. nice looking global landing page for buyers.
4. vat and tax improvements.
for that I would like to pay a monthly fee..
good to see batman finally got some proper help with the project..
I am glad symbiostock is coming back stronger!..
This is a great move. Leo is a really good guy but not cut out for the forum side of things as he tends to take things to heart, hopefully with some help he can finally get a bit of payback for all he has put in to the project.
I don't know what the new Symbiostock will be or what it will look like, but in order to get people on board, in addition to the things already mentioned by others, there has to be a strategy for driving traffic to the sites, or at the very least least honesty about that being every man for himself.
My site gets very few clickthroughs from other sites in the network, and very few people go to another Symbiostock site from mine. My few sales started coming in when I began paying to promote posts on Facebook and when I included a link to my Shutterstock port in my slideshow. Again, few people click through to SS, but I think it gives visitors to my site some assurance that I'm legit and that my images meet some standard of quality.
I plan to invest a little more in Facebook marketing over the next few weeks to see what happens. But having a nice-looking site and good images is not enough....nor is the mutual linking to 100+ other sites.
I tried with my own Symbiostock site but I think it's the wrong way to go. I would rather we all paid a bit to have one site that we all contribute too than all of us paying for individual sites. And the new EU VAT regulations have stopped me selling direct online.
Thanks for the fantastic questions. I'm really glad you guys are pointing out some of the concerns surrounding the previous system.
I just wanted to let you know that marketing and driving sales to your media is a high priority, and we are building the entire system around a sustainable, growth oriented solution in that regard.
To be realistic about altering the industry, we have to start with the idea of contributors having a technical means of distributing their media. That is the base of Symbiostock. Past that, we then have to figure out how to compete with the marketing prowess and user experience that the large microstock companies provide.
Once we are closer to launching, we will share all the specifics and discuss tweaking the solution as a community, but rest assured we are definitely focused on marketing Symbiostock, not just developing it.
I think that's the wording people from Stockfresh used when they started. Is anyone seeing any sales there?
You are asking us to trust you? Quite remarkable when you also feel the need to stay anonymous. How long have you been on the internet? Anonymous persons on the internet asking people to trust them blindly normally doesnt end well. Its not helping me to restore my faith in the project to be honest. Its quite doing the opposite. Your introduction on the Sym forum got 2 replies, thats a reflection of the state the project is in at the moment. Restoring trust should be your number one focus. Anonymity is not going to help you with that.
Anyway, welcome to the project. Good luck with turning things around.
I have nothing new to add. Jo Ann and Ron have said all I would have said myself. I have a line that I often use: Trust is always at its strongest just before it gets broken.
When you have something to tell us, come back and we will tell you if we are interested or not. You had our attention and you kicked the whole lot of us in the teeth.
Jo, please speak for yourself.
While I am not happy how things developed I 100% understand Leo's decision to practically abandon his VERY ambitious project. I don't feel in no way being "kicked in the teeth".
One issue has been that Leo tried to shoulder all of the coding required for Symbiostock himself alone. If that has changed now then it should be viewed as a positive step toward reviving the project. There's no reason at all to scare Robin away with suspicion and outright hostility.
Although I am not holding my breath, why not just wait and see?
This concerns me slightly because I remember not too long ago an anonymous programmer coming on the forum with a similar idea and being told about Symbiostock. They then got really arrogant and started slating the project saying how they could do better in one afternoon (or something similar). Can you at least let us know you aren't that guy?
If anyone can find a link to that thread that would also be good because I can't track it down right now.
Hey everyone - happy to announce that the new Symbiostock.org community site is up.
We're aiming to do some beta testing next week, followed by release. If you're interested in getting a pre-release look at Symbiostock, please post in the forums over there.
I will also be posting additional details surrounding the project and adding documentation and features in the next little while on the Symbiostock forums.
Robin, I'm looking forward to seeing more info on the changes. I did notice your offer to give credit on past purchases of the pro plugin towards future hosting or premium themes beyond the free option. I appreciate that and hope the new version is as easy a transition as it sounds like it will be.
Hey Karen, thanks for that. The transition should be reasonably simple.
I've been receiving notice from legacy Symbiostock users who say a strange update has shown up for their sites - I have no knowledge of this and this has nothing to do with Symbiostock. I'm not entire sure how or why that is happening, but I recommend you not upgrade in case it breaks your install.
I am looking into the cause and will get back to you.
"Every capture is your creation.
Take control of your art."
With CENSORSHIP? I think he is killing Symbiostock.
"the future of symbiostock is large, focused on generating money for artist"
I don't know why that statement keeps being used. symbiostock is a Wordpress theme. It is up to the individual person to generate their own money. Symbiostock does NOTHING but provide the software.
Thanks, Jo Ann, for posting the original link and your screenshot. Very interesting!
I just clicked the link and went to "Some Forum Guidelines" only to find there's no opportunity to comment there: "The topic 'Some Forum Guidelines' is closed to new replies."
Looks like SYS is now Robin's way or the highway.
The only non-Robin response to Christine is from Cascoly (AKA Steve, as long-time Symbiostockers know). And below Cascoly/Steve's avatar, it's noted that he is "blocked" on that forum. The forum is just getting re-started and already a long-time, active, positively-contributing member of "old Symbiostock" is blocked?
More censorship per the "forum guidelines," I guess.
symbiostock is a Wordpress theme. It is up to the individual person to generate their own money. Symbiostock does NOTHING but provide the software.
Absolutely true. And I think (among many other reasons) this is why many people are disappointed by it. If Symbiostock had been sold here simply as a WordPress theme that allows you to process, watermark and sell your own images, and sales and marketing are up to you, much angst could have been avoided. But the developers, and now there are several, keep pitching this as something much more.
I appreciate all the effort everyone's put into it, but it's time to be honest and say this is a theme. When it comes to sales you're on your own.

We woke up this morning to the news that Jews had killed Muhamad Abu Khdeir and had failed to kidnap another boy a day earlier. These Jews do not represent Israel. They do not represent Jews. They do not represent the Orthodox community or the Sephardi Orthodox Community. They do not represent even their own families. They represent themselves and they are murderers of an innocent young man.
We are saddened, angered, and sickened by their actions.
I would like to send my condolences to the Abu Khudair family. I pledge that the perpetrators of this horrific crime, which must be resolutely condemned in the most forceful language, will face the full weight of the law. I know that in our society, the society of Israel, there is no place for such murderers. And that's the difference between us and our neighbors. They consider murderers to be heroes. They name public squares after them. We don't. We condemn them and we put them on trial and we'll put them in prison.
And that's not the only difference. While we put these murderers on trial, in the Palestinian Authority, there is continuous incitement for the destruction of the State of Israel. It's a staple of the official media and the educational system.
From all across the political spectrum, there have been condemnations. Naftali Bennett of the right wing Jewish Home party said that the killing was "terrible, immoral and anti-Jewish" and argued that the killers should be prosecuted as terrorists.
There is no difference between those who murdered Muhamad, and those who murdered our children. Those are murderers, and these are murderers. And both must be dealt with to the full extent of the law, and we told him that.
No one is cheering. Blind hatred harms all of us. Let us work for tolerance and peace.

Human beings are flawed, true. The difference between us is how we value life. That is the only difference. Some choose to improve, some do not. Either way, choosing is a God-given right. What we DO with that right defines us.
I misjudged you, Rabbi Kaufman. I see reason here.


Jordan uncovers an unsolved crime scene with the help of the menacing spirit of the murder victim; Adrienne witnesses her deceased grandmother comforting her dying mother and later discovers they have been reunited in the afterlife; Kyle and his family are terrorized by a spirit who winds up saving their home; Brett and his family are shocked when they find out they are being haunted by ghosts from the Civil War.
Just saw your episode of Celebrity Ghost Stories…. Was excited to see my life long hometown of Richmond in your segment… Our beautiful city definitely has its share of ghosts with its long history of the Civil War, etc….Anyway, I am a fan of your acting, and just wanted to tell you I enjoyed youur connection to my city… I hope being here was an otherwise enjoyable experience for you and your family..
I, too, just watched your celebrity ghost story and was born and love in Richmond, VA. I wanted to inquire where the horse was you rented?
Enjoyed working with you on the set of P.O.H.. Hopefully, we can work together again.
Out here, you grow up fast or not at all.

Oil ETFs to Buy: United States Oil Fund LP (USO) USO is the best pure-play fund that tracks crude oil prices; it's the largest, most liquid of futures-backed oil ETFs, with 23 million shares exchanging hands daily and roughly $2 billion in assets. The USO is up 55% in the last year – riding the coattails of the big run-up in oil prices. With the price of oil hovering around $75, it's a good idea to start thinking about buying stocks exposed to rising capital spending from the oil and gas industry.
Investing in oil is as risky as any other investment in Real estate, Gold, currencies, or commodities. At the end of the day, it's the profits that matter.

Nitsa Bucritz Ford
Nitsa Bucritz Ford has been named director of development at the Agency for Jewish Learning (AJL) — a new position at the education development group.
A native Israeli who has lived in Pittsburgh for 10 years, Ford holds a master's degree in public policy and nonprofit management from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs and a bachelor's degree in international relations from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The AJL established this position to secure the resources required to bring new ideas to Pittsburgh and to create new realities in the community. The first order of business has been to create a development plan designed to allow AJL's supporters a role in the conversation about the future of Jewish education here.
"My hope is that people will find new and continuing interest in the essential work that this agency does for the entire Jewish community," Ford said in a prepared statement. "So many people don't realize how AJL is involved in almost every informal and formal Jewish educational experience offered in this city and my job is to make sure they know and care about what AJL does for the future of the Jewish community."
In his prepared statement Executive Director Ed Frim said, "I am thrilled to have someone as motivated and full of energy as Nitsa working to support the work of AJL and transform Jewish education in our community. She has created an exciting plan and energized her colleagues and our volunteer leaders."
The AJL works with synagogues, schools, early childhood centers, agencies and organizations to meet the needs of learners with the cutting edge methods and innovative programs.
JFilm: The Pittsburgh Jewish Film Forum has hired Rachel Colker and Courtney Strauss — both Pittsburgh natives — to fill newly created positions.
Colker will be the assistant director of JFilm, which is into its 21st year. She has worked as an archivist, museum curator, researcher and freelance writer for 18 years. She has a master's degree in history and museum studies from Duquesne University and previously worked at the Heinz History Center and Rauh Jewish Archives where she acted in several capacities. She also has done freelance writing and research for the Andy Warhol Museum, U.S. Steel Corporation and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, and was curator for the 2002 exhibit "Answering the Call: 90 Years of Community Service by the United Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh."
Colker lives in Squirrel Hill with her husband and three children.
Strauss will be JFilm's young adult/teen outreach and social media coordinator. A 2012 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh where she earned a bachelor's degree in English writing, she worked in Pitt's Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, interned in the UPMC marketing department and was a youth group coordinator at Congregation Beth Shalom. She is active at J'Burgh where she serves on the planning committee, and has shared her writing at open mic nights around the city.

Portnoy manages the day-to-day business and marketing activities for Jordan. She has worked extensively with him and his key advisors for over 15 years, to manage and grow the Jordan brand. She oversees Jordan's business endeavors and serves on the executive committee of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.
Portnoy has also been recognized with Jewish Women International's Woman To Watch Award (2009) and the S. Robert Cohen Award from the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes (2006).

Why the ibis Stare Miasto in Warsaw is the best!
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun but when I recently had the opportunity to visit Warsaw, I was very excited. I'd never been to Poland and couldn't wait to explore another Eastern European country, especially after hearing so many great things about it from friends!
When travelling alone, one of the most important things for me is finding a place to stay where I will feel safe. I had no idea about Warsaw although I did read that the Old Town was very pretty and popular with tourists so I thought this would be a good place to start. The ibis hotel Stare Miasto in Warsaw is located just a 10 minute walk from the centre of the old town. I opted for this hotel not only for the location but also because ibis is a hotel chain I've stayed with before and I would know what to expect. After confirming my reservation directly with the hotel I felt completely at ease about my upcoming trip, they were so friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome before I even arrived!
On arrival at Warsaw airport I had organised a Wizz transfer to take me to the hotel. As luck would have it, the Wizz transfer pick up point was directly outside the main terminal and for my arrival time I was the only person who'd booked. This meant for 9 EUR I had a private pre-booked minibus to take me direct to my hotel! (The taxi on the way back to the airport cost around 60 Zloty – 13 EUR).
The journey to the hotel was around 30 minutes and I admired the passing city of Warsaw, which was actually much bigger than I expected. When I reached the ibis hotel I was greeted by the smiling reception team who quickly organised my check-in, gave me my free wifi code and even offered me an apple and a welcome fruit juice, which I thought was a lovely touch. As expected, the ibis Stare Miasto was very stylish and modern, just the kind of hotel I like. There's a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and a small bar for coffees or drinks. There's also lots of comfortable seating space around the lobby which is where I spent most evenings, doing some work with a glass of wine! Obviously good wifi is a huge must for me and their wifi was one of the best I've experienced in a hotel, even in the room on the 6th floor the connection was good enough to use FaceTime/Skype.
Breakfast was a good buffet selection including scrambled eggs, toast, cold meats and pastries and fruits. I also tried the hotel dinner menu a couple of times, usually when I was too tired to venture outside again for dinner. I tried the salmon fillet and the burger, both amazing and such good value at around 11 EUR including a glass of wine!
I can't recommend the ibis Stare Miasto enough and I thank them for their hospitality during my stay in Warsaw.
Next Post Zaragoza, a city full of surprises!

Памела Сью Вурхиз () — персонаж сериала ужасов «Пятница, 13», главная злодейка первого фильма, мать Джейсона Вурхиза. Раньше она работала поваром в лагере у Хрустального озера. В первых фильмах героиню называли просто миссис Вурхиз, и лишь в четвёртой части стало известно её имя — Памела. В двух фильмах оригинальной серии роль исполнила актриса Бетси Палмер. В фильме «Фредди против Джейсона» роль Памелы сыграла Пола Шоу, а в ремейке — Нана Визитор. Так же в некоторых эпизодах её сыграли Конни Хоган и Мэрилин Поучер.

Классическая серия

Памела Вурхиз родилась в 1930 году. В возрасте 15 лет она забеременела от Элиаса Вурхиза, и 13 июня 1946 года, в возрасте 16 лет родила сына, страдающего гидроцефалией, которого она назвала Джейсоном. Спустя год супруги развелись, но Памела решила оставить фамилию мужа. Из-за болезни, Памела не позволила мальчику ходить в обычную школу, проявляя чрезмерную заботу о сыне.

Женщина получает должность повара в детском лагере на берегу Хрустального озера. В роковой день в 1957 году, Джейсон, которого дразнили ребята в лагере, падает в озеро, и по недосмотру вожатых погибает — мальчик не умел плавать, а рядом не оказалось никого, кто мог бы вытащить его из воды. В это время вожатые находились в одной из кабинок на закрытой вечеринке, где они курили марихуану, а некоторые занимались сексом.

Тело Джейсона так и не нашли, и власти посчитали, что мальчик утонул. С тех пор Памела во всём винила вожатых — сама в тот день она работала и не могла приглядывать за сыном.

После смерти Джейсона Памела начала сходить с ума и слышать голоса сына, приказывающего ей  убивать. В 1958 году, год спустя после смерти сына, Памела жестоко убивает двух вожатых, которых она винила в гибели Джейсона. После этих событий лагерь закрыли и местные жители стали называть его «Кровавым лагерем». В 1962 году владелец попытался вновь открыть лагерь, но Памела отравила питьевую воду и устроила несколько пожаров на территории. Лагерь вновь закрыли, и он оставался заброшенным вплоть до лета 1979 года, когда у лагеря появились новые владельцы. Всё это время Памела жила в доме, находившемся на территории лагеря — никто не знал, что именно эта женщина пыталась предотвратить открытие лагеря.

13 июня 1979 года новый владелец лагеря Стив Кристи привозит в глухие места команду вожатых, чтобы подготовить лагерь к открытию, несмотря на предупреждения местных жителей о том, что на лагере лежит проклятье. Желая помешать молодым людям, Памела убивает Стива и ещё шестерых вожатых.

Между тем, последняя выжившая девушка, Элис Харди, находит тела друзей и встречает Памелу, рассказавшую ей о смерти Джейсона. Женщина пытается убить и Элис, но девушка вынуждена защищать себя — она хватает мачете и отрубает Памеле голову.

Два месяца спустя, Джейсон, который, как выясняется, не утонул в озере, и все эти годы жил в лесу, находит Элис и убивает девушку, мстя за гибель матери. Перед смертью Элис находит в своём холодильнике отрубленную голову Памелы — затем Джейсон забирает труп девушки и голову матери с собой в хижину в лесу, где он жил всё это время. После своего первого кровавого визита в лагерь и ранения в плечо, Джейсон вынужден оставить хижину, куда он также принёс тела некоторых из своих жертв.

После того, как хижина была обнаружена властями, Памелу похоронили на придорожном кладбище. Несколько лет спустя, когда Томми Джарвис убивает Джейсона, выясняется, что могилу Памелы и Джейсона перенесли на кладбище «Вечный покой» ().

В продолжениях
Хотя Памела не стала бессмертной как её сын, она появляется несколько раз в следующих фильмах.

В конце второй части Памела появляется в видении Джейсона, когда одна из жертв пытается убедить маньяка, что перед ним миссис Вурхиз.

В конце третьего фильма обезображенный труп женщины выпрыгивает из Хрустального озера — точно так же, как юный Джейсон в конце первой части — и хватает за плечи героиню по имени Крис Хиггинс, находящуюся в лодке — роль Памелы сыграла Марлин Пушер, второй ассистент режиссёра картины, загримированная до неузнаваемости. Однако эта сцена оказалась лишь кошмарным сном.

В фильме «Фредди против Джейсона» роль Памелы исполнила актриса Пола Шоу (Бэтси Палмер отказалась от роли, посчитав её слишком маленькой) — призрак женщины находит Джейсона в Аду и приказывает сыну убивать детей с улицы Вязов. Позже выясняется, что это был не призрак, а перевоплотившийся Фредди Крюгер, использовавший Джейсона в своих целях.

В интервью Джон Карл Бьюлер рассказал, что по задумке в седьмом фильме должна была быть сцена, в которой у Тины случается видение — Джейсон держит в руках отрезанную голову Памелы, кричащую «Помоги мне, мамочка!». Создатели посчитали, что это было бы уже чересчур, и отказались от съёмок сцены. Кроме того считалось, что героиня появится в сцене-флэшбэка в девятом фильме. Наконец, в фильме «Джейсон X» должна была появиться голограмма Памелы, которую разрушает сам Джейсон — тем самым создатели хотели подчеркнуть, насколько злым стал Джейсон после превращения в киборга-зомби — роль должна была исполнять всё та же Палмер, но она не смогла договориться с продюсерами.

Жертвы

Барри — пырнут ножом, Клоретт — убита за кадром, Энни — перерезано горло, Нед — перерезано горло, Джек — горло проткнуто стрелой, Марси — топор вбит в лицо, Стив — пырнут ножом, Бредна — задушена верёвкой за кадром.

Комиксы

В мини-серии «Jason vs. Leatherface» от издательства «Topps Comics», по неизвестным причинам героиню переименовали в Дорис () — мать Джейсона появляется в двух сценах-флэшбэках в первом и втором выпусках. В первой сцене юный Джейсон пишет своё имя на доске в воспоминаниях маньяка, когда Дрэйтон Сойлер спрашивает имя Вурхиза. Во втором флэшбэке Джейсон видит, как его мать убивает отца, Элиаса Вурхиза, когда тот избивал сына.

Литература

Не считая литературных адаптаций сценариев, Памела появляется в нескольких романах о похождениях Джейсона.

Отрубленная голова Памелы становится главным злодеем в романе Эрика Морса «День матери» (1994) — охотник Джо Трэвис находит безымянный могильный камень в лесу и картонную коробку, в которой находится ожившая голова Памелы, реанимированная проклятой хоккейной маской Джейсона. Памела даёт указания Джо о том, где находится маска, и когда мужчина находит и надевает её на себя, он становится одержим духом Джейсона Вурхиза. Главная героиня книги, Карли, узнаёт, что голова Памелы всё ещё находится в той коробке, зарытой в лесу. В финале книги, Карли выстреливает в голову Памелы из дробовика, и дух Памелы покидает голову.

В романе «Зловещая луна» (2005) на одного из персонажей, находящегося в голографической версии лагеря у Хрустального озера, нападает зомби-версия Памелы, созданная доктором Армандо Кастилло. В «Адском озере» (2005) после встречи с Джейсоном персонаж Грэтхэн Эндрюс, судя по всему, становится одержима духом Памелы. В «Карнавале убийц» (2006) одержимы становятся несколько персонажей, дотронувшихся до отрубленной головы.

Другие появления

Ремейк

Памела на мгновенье появляется в ремейке во время начальных титров, когда молодая девушка (вероятно, Элис) отрубает ей голову. Позже юный Джейсон находит её медальон с фотографией внутри, на которой изображены он и его мать. Затем Джейсон слышит её голос: «Убей ради мамы!»

В тизер-трейлере ремейка 2009 года используется монолог из оригинального фильма, где миссис Вурхиз рассказывает свою историю Элис, но голос для записи обеспечила не Нана Визитор, а актриса Кэтлин Гаррет. Когда фильм вышел, Бэтси Палмер заявила, что голос очень похож на её, хотя она не давала своего разрешения на использование материалов. Чтобы избежать проблем с законом, продюсеры позволили актрисе прослушать запись в чистом виде и убедиться, что голос принадлежит не ей. Однако Палмер всё ещё была уверена, что на плёнке звучит её голос. Билл Нейл свидетельствовал в пользу того, что он лично присутствовал во время записи Кэтлин Гаррет, которой принадлежит голос, и что это он работал над тизер-трейлером. По словам Нейла, оригинальная плёнка с голосом Палмер сопровождалась различными звуковыми эффектами, и даже при современных технологиях монтажа, нельзя было добиться такой тщательной очистки плёнки от посторонних звуков — таким образом, вероятность использования семпла из оригинального фильма в трейлере отпадает сама собой.

Видеоигры

Голова Памелы является боссом на уровне тайной пещеры в игре для NES по мотивам фильма «Пятница, 13». Голова летает по комнате, после того как поднялась с пьедестала в воздух в мерцании свечей, и нападает на игрока — дизайн похож на хижину Джейсона из второй части. Чтобы закончить уровень, Джейсона надо победить 3 раза, а Памелу — четыре. Каждая победа даёт игроку уникальный предмет — мачете, топор, её свитер и вилы.

В игре 2017 года «Friday the 13th: The Game» эпизодически появляется голова Памелы и её свитер. Также есть множество записей голоса Памелы (озвучивает актриса Дженифер Энн Бартон).

В игре 2018 года «Friday the 13th: Killer Puzzle» голова Памелы даёт подсказки Джейсону.

Игрушки в виде Памелы Вурхиз издавали компании «Sideshow Collectibles» и «National Entertainment Collectibles Association» («NECA»).

Point to Point 15: What's It Like to Be an Artist? Cell Phone Photography and Science
Art and Science are two sides of the same coin. One is dependent upon the other in so many ways. In this class, you pick the science topic and we will explore it with cell phone photography. Physics of light is a natural connection to photography but what about photographing motion or matter, chemical reactions, the Fibonacci sequence or explore proportions in digital post processing of photos? What about photographing and creating a montage of contemporary social events?
Sandy doesn't just teach how to pair science and photography; she introduces ways of turning that passion into earnings.
The program's conversation will be guided entirely by the topics you wish Sandy to address and the questions your students want Sandy to answer whether they prefer to focus on photography and science or. methods to promote your art and earn from it. The class will be adjusted to the level of the students whether elementary, middle or high school. Your topic preferences and advance questions are due to us no less than three days prior to your scheduled interaction.

Coal miner black lung disease resurgence in Queensland to face Senate inquiry
By Jonathan Hair
Updated March 07, 2016 11:57:57

Map: Brisbane 4000
A Senate inquiry will investigate the sudden reappearance of the deadly coal miners' disease known as black lung.
Coal workers' pneumoconiosis, or black lung, is a condition caused by breathing in excessive levels of coal dust.
Until recently, it was thought to have been eradicated from Australia. But late last year, the ABC revealed the disease had made a comeback.
Six Queensland coal mine workers have recently been diagnosed with the deadly condition.
Several of these victims worked in mines in Queensland's Bowen Basin.
'I can't stand it anymore'
Retired coal miner Percy Verrall used to be a fit man but is now struggling for every breath. He spent most of his working life in Queensland's Ipswich coalfields and is now paying the price.
The Senate select committee on health will probe the issue by holding public hearings next month in Brisbane and in the north Queensland city of Mackay.
Committee chairperson senator Deborah O'Neill said they had been tasked with investigating why the disease had re-emerged.
"There are questions around it and that's what we will be asking — how has this happened, what's going on, is there adequate support for people whose diagnosis happens, what about prevention," she said.
"This particular matter is of great concern right across the country.
What is black lung?
Pneumoconiosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by long exposure to coal dust, more commonly known as "black lung" because those with the disease have lungs that look black instead of a healthy pink.
Black lung most often stems from working in the coal industry or in the manufacturing of graphite or man-made carbon products and has no known cure.
The risk of getting black lung depends on how much time has been spent around coal dust.
There are two types of black lung: simple and complicated.
There are relatively few symptoms associated with simple black lung, also known as coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP), and the prognosis is usually good.
But CWP can progress into the more complicated progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), the symptoms of which may include a long-term cough and shortness of breath.
There is no cure for black lung, but doctors may be able to treat complications caused by the disease.
In 2013, coal worker's pneumoconiosis killed 25,000 people, according to UK medical journal The Lancet.
Source: University of Kentucky, US National Library of Medicine and The Lancet
"It's captured people's imaginations to think that a disease that people thought was long gone has re-emerged after 30 years."
She said the committee could invite witnesses from across the country.
"We have had a great response and we will certainly we calling on some state bodies," Senator O'Neill said.
Senator O'Neill said Mackay would be a focal point of their investigation.
"Reports have centred on Mackay as an area where this is a particular problem," she said.
"We'll try to look at the evidence and decide what needs further to be done, or if we can actually get a report into the public place fairly quickly," Ms O'Neill said.
CFMEU mining division president Stephen Smyth welcomed the inquiry, saying the union had spent several months lobbying for an investigation.
Mr Smyth said he hoped relevant organisations would be held to account.
"It's across the board; we believe that the regulator needs to be there to give evidence (along with) the coal companies themselves, some of the health professionals and the radiologists, and of course the workers themselves, the unions, and those who are involved in the unions," he said.
"Everybody who's been working in the industry, and is still involved in the industry, whether you're a company, a union, the regulator, or a health professional, you should be prepared to turn up, give evidence and participate in the process.
"We want to fix up what we see as the failures of the system, in relation to the monitoring and screening."

2010 Dog Bite Fatality: Houston-Area Baby Girl Killed by Family Rottweiler
Jeannette Vaughn, 3-months old, was killed by one of her family's rottweilers.
Criminal Charges Unlikely
UPDATE 12/21/10: New information reveals that baby Jeannette Vaughn was inside the home when one of the rottweilers pushed through a washing machine and a heavy slab of marble and mauled the infant to death. In a separate article, Chris Glaser of Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC)1 was quick to point out to abc13.com reporters, "You can't judge the family unless you know exactly what happened" and "you can't judge the dog breed."
This is despite the fact the Vaughn family had over 1,000 pounds of dogs -- all rottweilers and rottweiler-mixes -- in their home, two of which had known problems with the baby and were kept away from her, and that rottweilers trail only pit bulls in serious and fatal mauling attacks. Deputy Thomas Gilliland of the Harris County Sheriff's Office said there will likely be no charges filed. "As of this time right now, we're looking at it as a tragic accident," he said.2
Hoarders and Breeders Pile Up
The combination of hoarders and breeders continues to pile up in 2010 fatal attack statistics. This case marks at least the 9th (27%) of the 33 recorded deaths this year. Hoarding incidents include: Michael Winters, 30 (OH), Cason Byrant, 5 (AL) and Kaden Muckleroy (TX). Breeder incidents with six or more dogs on property3 include, Johnny Wilson, 56, (IL), Christina Stab, 37 (PA), Violet Haaker (FL), Taylor Becker (WI), John Reynolds, 84 (MO) and Jeannette (TX).
12/20/10: Mother Hysterical, "In Shock"
The newest fatal dog attack is being blamed on a rottweiler of at least 150 pounds. The dog -- one of nine dogs in the home -- forced open the back door and attacked the 3-month old girl who was in a baby swing. Authorities said the child's mother, Alva Vaughn, 41, thought she had secured the back door by "sliding a washing machine and slab of marble" behind it before going into the bathroom to bathe the biter's father, a 200-pound rottweiler.4
Harris County Sheriff's homicide sergeant Felipe Rivera said, "It's a horrible, horrible deal. But a child is dead. Parents have to put the child first, animals later. You have to maintain the child's safety." Rivera added that the scene was chaotic with so many dogs running around. Eight dogs were in the backyard when the attack occurred. Animal control removed all nine dogs -- four rottweilers and three mixed-breeds. The case is being referred to a grand jury.
12/20/10: Texas Infant Mauled by Dog
Houston, TX - In a developing story, a 3-month old baby died in northwest Houston Sunday after being mauled by the family dog. Harris County deputies responded to the incident. They did not release the child's name or any details about the dog. The child was rushed to Texas Children's Hospital but did not survive its injuries. No charges have been filed by authorities so far. This latest fatal dog attack follows the death of an East Texas toddler in November.
View the DogsBite.org Google Map: U.S. Fatal Rottweiler Attacks By State
1Glaser is employed by the City of Houston to, "promote and protect public health and animal care," not to defend dangerous dog breeds.
2While these occurrences are tragic, they are not accidental.
3At the time of Violet's death, Lori Haaker only had 4 dogs on the property, but Haaker was an established breeder operating the Dream Bulldog Ranch.
4News continues to unfold in the fatal mauling of Jeannette Vaughn. Click2Houston.com and KHOU.com are reporting that authorities do not know which of the rottweilers killed the baby. They also upped the family's dog count from eight to nine.

8 big dogs and a baby. She's probably going to jail. The Chronicle did not have much sympathy for her either. At what point does the madness stop? I imagine the Grand Jury will indict.

I find it interesting how people that are pro more powerful or inherently dangerous dogs are inclined to believe that things like this were somehow of the victims fault.
The point still stands, that if pits and rots are such great with small children, why do they have the highest maul and kill rate with them beyond any other breed?
Which reminds me, I think you may enjoy this:

People who push heavy appliances like washers and dryers in front of a door to secure a dog. KNOW the dog is dangerous.
A total of nine dogs, one was being bathed and they don't which of the other eight killed her? This sounds fishy. Wouldn't the one who had killed the girl, have blood evidence or maybe that's why it was being bathed?
It's yet another fishy, fatal dog attack scenario. But, it's going to get REAL fishy if Harris County officials crack this one up to be another tragic accident and sweep it under the rug. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is known to take heavy-handed actions when the child is still living. This child is dead and was apparently the only child of the parents.

I don't know how much time it takes to care for 9 large rottweiler dogs. I don't really want to imagine it either. The story is clear enough without imagining it. "Barricade" yourself and baby into the house, along with a 200lb rottweiler shut into the bathroom that you are giving a bath to. All is happy and well for the household with 9 large rottweiler dogs and an infant — at least for a moment. One person with an infant could never manage such a household. Sadly, the mother was tending to one of the dogs instead of her own baby when it was horribly mauled to death.
Don B. on December 22, 2010 at 3:56 pm said:
Dogs are replacable.
Kids are irreplacable.
Why people keep dogs around, which have previously shown signs of aggression, baffles me. The elderly woman in Iowa recently killed knew her GSD was aggressive. The family in Houston seems to know that the Rottweiler was "an outdoor dog" not allowed to be in the home. I wonder why? Guaranteed they know which dog "aint right" and did this. Why tolerate aggressive dogs in or around the home. Again, dogs are replacable, kids aren't.
Opalina on December 23, 2010 at 4:27 pm said:
Bagheera, I agree with you. It sounds way too fishy. I can't imagine that if one of those other dogs forced its way into the house that it didn't make a huge racket that surely she would have heard. And who washes a 200 pound dog in the bathtub? And why would she have to put such huge things in front of the door to begin with? Had these dogs already broken into the house before and damaged the door so badly that it couldn't be secured? It is just a disgusting and sad situation all around. I feel bad that I, too, have little sympathy for this mother.
PitBullPushers on December 25, 2010 at 5:34 am said:
When it is mentioned that she was interacting with the "father" of one of the other dogs, I think we all see just where the problem here lies.
This was some kind of illegal breeding business, operated in plain sight in a community without decent animal control laws, without enforcement by Chris Glaser, without proper rules for businesses (particularly those that affect the public health-wise, as dogs can attack and also can carry disease. Breeders, just like shelters and rescuers, need to be licensed and follow some basic civilized rules to prevent danger to humans.)
By allowing her to pack this small place with large aggressive dogs that she could not care for, and by allowing her to conduct an illegal business and not pay taxes, Chris Glaser of Animal Control and those who hire him helped set up this situation and pave the way for this needless death.
We are a society. We need ground rules. These dogs could have easily killed a neighbor's child.
If there had been some community rules, and proper enforcement, no one would have gotten hurt or killed.
Animal control (and the leadership of this town) has failed massively.
There needs to be some kind of control in "animal control" to protect the safety of the community and prevent animal abuse.

HomeBlogHouston Real Estate NewsIs Build-To-Suit Office Space The Right Choice For Your Company?
Every company starts somewhere, and most start in office space that would be generously called a garage. Limited money, space and resources are the first chapter for many businesses, and keeping a tight belt can be crucial to a company's eventual growth. If the company starts growing, it may soon be time for better office space. Businesses have a number of options for office space expansion. While build-to-suit office space is not for everyone, it's an option that Capital Realty Group urges businesses to consider.
Build-to-suit office space is an intriguing alternative to the more common modes of office expansion, such as leasing preexisting office space, refinishing an old building, or buying or constructing an entire building. While the first option is often the smartest for businesses with limited credit and an uncertain future, all three options run the risks that come with old, used buildings and (for the last two) owning real estate. Build-to-suit office space may be the best choice for your company.
What is Build-to-Suite Office Space?
Growing businesses make agreements and draw contracts with developers early in the process of building a new structure. The business and builder collaborate on the design of the office space, suiting it exactly to the businesses' needs while keeping it marketable. After construction is complete, the business moves into the space, leasing it for however many years the contract requires (or longer).
Build-to-suit office space is very customizable, allowing companies to improve efficiency and cultivate their personal brand and company culture. However, while it avoids the total risks of building and owning real estate, it is still an expensive venture that requires upfront capital, good credit and time commitment. While companies can lease preexisting office space less than six months in advance, the planning for build-to-suit office space spans at least two years. A company must have the time, money and confidence to last that time.
While not for everyone, build-to-suit office space may be what takes your growing enterprise into the big leagues!
Do you have more questions about build-to-suit office space or are you interested in leasing office space? Then talk to our Denver and Houston real estate experts at Capital Reality Group, who are thrilled to help you move your company forward. Call our Denver office at 303-573-0377, our Houston office at 713-452-9000 or contact us online.
What would your dream office space look like?


If you want to experience the Scotland of your dreams, it's definitely here.
Travel from the buzzing cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the off-the-beaten-track beauty of the Highlands and islands, untouched by time.
You can stretch your legs hiking majestic mountainscapes, or wander pristine beaches where your footprints will be the only ones in the sand.
So look beyond the bagpipes and whisky and you'll uncover a dynamic country where you're as likely to find experimental music and theatre as you are tweed and tartan.
There are multiple options when it comes to getting to Edinburgh. You can fly there from most cities in around an hour. Alternatively, you can get the train from London which takes about 4 hours 30 minutes.
If you love the thrill of the open road, you can't miss the North Coast 500. Scotland's answer to Route 66 is the road trip that will make for the journey of a lifetime. The newly opened touring route promises to reward those who traverse it with a superlative Scottish experience. If towering mountains, mysterious lochs, secret beaches and fairytale castles call to you, then get your mixtapes ready and take a ride on the NC500.
Planning a trip to Scotland's capital city? Not sure where to start? From world-famous festivals to the most Instagram-worthy view of the city, we've got your guide to the best of Edinburgh. Now get to planning your perfect trip and don't forget those walking shoes!

Public Lecture Series
July – November 2019 Jul – Nov 2019
Colloquium: Pablita Velarde Making a Living as a Native Artist @ School for Advanced Research
REGISTER FOR THE TALK IN ADVANCE HERE
How a professional Native artist creates a sustainable career is the driving question of Dr. Marilyn Norcini's economic study of Santa Clara Pueblo artist, Pablita Velarde (1916-2006).
"When you attend the Santa Fe Indian Market, do you ever walk past the booths thinking of the artists as self-employed business men and women? Probably not. And are you aware that the price you paid for the Native basket or pottery is a revenue stream for the artist family's yearly income – providing a household with money for food, clothing, housing and gas?"
Velarde was a New Deal public artist who transitioned into a professional artist during the second half of the twentieth century. For fifty years, Velarde owned and operated a successful home business in Albuquerque by making and selling her visual and literary works. After a divorce in the late 1950s, Velarde solely supported herself and her two children from her artworks, books and crafts.
Dr. Norcini presents a unique approach to writing an artist biography – by focusing on the practical economic aspects of making a living as a Native artist. Although Pablita modestly dismissed the idea that she was a competent businesswoman, quantitative financial data prove otherwise. Research from diverse primary and secondary sources builds a financial picture of a Native artist's business practices – a pattern of wholesale and retail sales, marketing strategies, pricing, several product lines, and a signature line of "earth paintings." With hard work, talent and business savvy, Velarde created a personal "brand" as a full-time, professional Native artist and businesswoman.
The presentation is free and open to the public, advanced registration is encouraged. A reception to meet Dr. Norcini will follow her talk.

Drinking Practice and Politics in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico @ Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom, SAR
Oct 2 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE
Patricia Crown, Leslie Spier Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico, and Weatherhead fellow at SAR
Archaeologists acknowledge the importance of ritual a thousand years ago in Chaco Canyon, including calling it a "location of high devotional expression." Yet, while pilgrimage, feasting, potlatch-style redistribution have all been suggested as possible ritual activity, the precise nature of the rituals enacted in the Canyon remains elusive. Patricia Crown spent two decades documenting the role of cylinder jars in ritualized drinking events in Pueblo Bonito. Drinking rituals are common throughout the world, most often involving consumption of alcohol or caffeinated drinks, including coffee, tea, and cacao. Drinking rituals often reinforce existing social structures, but also provide important opportunities for competition among factions. They are also tied to economic and political systems. What does the use of cylinder jars a millennium ago in Chaco tell us about the ritual, economic, and political life of the inhabitants of Pueblo Bonito? And why did their use end abruptly with destruction of the vessels and the rooms in which they were stored?
This event is free and open to the public. The presentation will take place in the Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom on the SAR campus. Advanced registration is encouraged.
On the Delhi Metro: Urban Landscape, Transport Infrastructure, and Social Mobility in a 21st-century Megacity @ Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom, SAR
Oct 16 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Rashmi Sadana, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, George Mason University and Weatherhead fellow at SAR
Rashmi Sadana, Weatherhead fellow, SAR
What happens when a hyper-modern, state-of-the-art metro rail system gets built on top of and underneath an ancient and modern Indian megacity? Delhi's new metro system is not just a new way to get around but is also a new set of public places spread over two hundred miles of urban space. With eight lines and 250 stations, the metro has re-framed everyday life for millions and re-painted the urban landscape. Rashmi Sadana has spent the last ten years studying the social impact of the Delhi Metro and the contradictions of what it means to be a world-class city amid social progress and deep inequality. Using an ethnographic approach, Sadana analyzes how the Metro is a vehicle for class, caste, and gendered mobility from the perspective of planners, architects, politicians, officials, and commuters. This presentation reveals the politics of urban development as Delhi-ites step onto the trains and into a new social reality.
Chihuahuan Desert History @ Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom, SAR
C.J. Avlarez, Assistant Professor, Department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies, University of Texas, Austin, and Mellon fellow at SAR
C.J. Alvarez, Mellon fellow, SAR
This talk offers preliminary answers to three big questions based on both archival research and oral histories: 1) What is desert history? The answer varies depending on whether you ask a scientist or humanist. Alvarez will outline a few ways he believes different disciplines can usefully speak to one another, and why environmental historians have often ignored arid lands. 2) What can we learn from desert dwellers? The dominant narratives about drylands have been produced by romantics, developers, and colonial governments, almost none of whom came from deserts themselves. To counter this, Alvarez will explain his commitment to writing biographies of desert people. 3) Where does the U.S.-Mexico border fit in? The international divide passes through the Chihuahuan Desert, but political borders have the effect of emphasizing difference. An environmental lens, Alvarez argues, reveals important but often obscured similarities between the United States and Mexico.
Researching My Heritage: Diné (Navajo) Survivance and The Old Leupp Boarding School @ Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom, SAR
Nov 6 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Davina Two Bears, PhD candidate, Department of Anthropology, Indiana University, Bloomington, and Mellon fellow at SAR
Davina Two Bears, Anne Ray fellow, SAR
Navajo historic archaeological sites may seem to receive little attention by Southwest archaeologists; however, as Diné (Navajo) archaeologists enter the discipline of anthropology, they are beginning to research topics and places of significance to the Diné people. The Old Leupp Boarding School (OLBS), a Federal Indian boarding school located on the southwest corner of the Navajo Reservation, in operation from 1909-1942, is just such a place. Although hundreds of Diné children attended the OLBS in the early twentieth century, its history is absent from the literature of Navajo studies. Motivated by her maternal grandparents' stories of attending the OLBS in the past, Davina Two Bears incorporates non-destructive decolonizing research methods to document and examine the history of the OLBS and the oral history of Diné survivance within the context of this Federal Indian boarding school. Through oral history interviews with Navajo elders, who attended the OLBS in the 1930's and 1940's, and a critical examination of historic documents and photographs, Two Bears pieces together the history of the OLBS and narratives of Diné survivance, resistance and resilience in the face of assimilation. She notes that she researches her heritage for the benefit of her Diné people, as well as the education of all Americans.
Fathering the Researcher: Reflections on Interviewing Latino Fathers @ Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom, SAR
Nov 13 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Fátima Suárez, PhD candidate, Department of Sociology University of California, Santa Barbara, and Mellon fellow at SAR
"I'm here because I know that I can contribute a little bit to [your study]," said Cesar, a 71 year-old Chicano activist, "and I'm proud of you."
Fátima Suárez, Mellon fellow, SAR
Fátima Suárez presents on her conversations with 60 Latino fathers in California about what fatherhood means to them, and what significance it plays in their lives. In contrast to widespread academic information about women interviewing men, Suárez suggests that participants did not perceive her as a threat to their masculinity nor did they patronize her. She states that she found Latino fathers conceptualized the interview setting as an extension of their fathering and perceived the interview as an opportunity to support a Latina in her schooling, which they may or may not have been able to do with their own children. Suárez will speak about her research and the possible implications of the data for Latinx studies and for society as a whole.

Brioux-sur-Boutonne, France – On May 26, 1825, he married couple Françoise Harand (née Bossard), 34, Nicholas Harand, 46, and Michèle David Harand -- the widowed mother of the husband -- were brought to court and charged with the murders of three Harand children, each victims of severe child abuse. The names of the slain children were Charles Harand, Françoise-Aimée, and Virginie.
On August 4, 1825, the jury at the court in Niort found the defendants not guilty of premeditated homicide in each of the three deaths. The brutal punishments were not deliberately intended to result in the deaths of the children.
The jury did, however, find the mother guilty of abusing the children, causing their death. The judge, named Pasigot, disgusted by the battery of the children gave Françoise Bossard the harshest sentence the law would permit, public branding with a mark of shame ("La peine infamante flétrissure"). She appealed the sentence to a higher court and lost the case on September 9, 1825. She was publicly branded in Place de la Brêche on September 25, 1825.


The Secretary General of the Iranian Human Rights Committee, Mohammad Javad Larijani, defended stoning as a proper form of punishment that is neither torture or incongruous punishment.
The Iranian Human Rights Leader says that stoning is not torture because sometimes the victim survives.
Iranian Human Rights Leader defended his country's position on stoning.
"The secretary general of Iran's Human Rights Committee, Dr. Mohammad Javad Larijani (pictured) declared: The West has had an extensive Propaganda campaign against Iran on Human rights issues; most of which are caused by political incentives.
On the writ of stoning, Dr. Larijani added: Stoning is neither torture nor an incongruous punishment. He said that practically, stoning is no longer fulfilled in Iran and as for the case in Takistan, he said that it was caused by the personal mistake of the judge.
Their reproofs are based on several considerations: they say stoning is not a punishment but a torture while we think the line between torture and punishment is imponderable. On the other hand they insist that the crime and the punishment are not in proportion with each other, and they do believe the punishment for adultery should not be that severe. In fact they don't consider this atrocity as a crime at all and they wish to force this belief on us.
If we had execution as a punishment for adultery instead of stoning, they would again complain that the crime and the punishment are not in proportion with each other-but as you know in Islamic rules, stoning is in lower level than execution because in stoning the defendant has a chance to survive.
Besides, we think that the discrimination of insolence of adultery is not on Westerners but on the social norms within our country.
