LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 42115 Review & Lighting Journal
It's been said that good things come to those who wait... and we're thrilled to say the wait for the LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 light kit is over! Light My Bricks fans have been patiently waiting for months on its release, but as the Italian engineers themselves say - you can't rush perfection!
We heard the question asked over and over again, "where is the Sian light kit?!" or "I've got my supercar built, I want to light it! What gives?" We'll elaborate on the unusually long gap between LEGO set release and light kit release further in this blog post. But as is often the case, it comes down to creating new and exciting components to match the excitement and enthusiasm behind the LEGO set in question, and these things take time.
Ok, one thing that needs to be addressed from the get-go, is that this is a LEGO set like no other. From the sheer complexity of the build, the massive size of the instructional guide, to the detailed design of the packaging, the Lamborghini Sian is a head turner from start to finish.
Let's start by talking about that packaging. Normally we wouldn't stop to mention the box of a LEGO set, perhaps just to note a black box marketed toward an older builder, but then keep it moving right along. I
n the case of the Sian however, we've got to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible package it arrives in. The outer surface is nothing like we've seen in a LEGO set before, as it doesn't feature the build itself but is designed to resemble the chassis of the actual supercar!
Once we cracked the box we discovered 6 individual, smaller boxes that serve both as a nod to the Sian's engine and a sequential step by step guide to the build itself. We saw a similar approach to how the Bugatti Chiron's packaging was designed, but this is on another level.
A quick note on the specs of this set. It's made up of a whopping 3696 pieces, slightly larger than the aforementioned Chiron. Once built it measures over 60cm long and 25cm wide, resulting in a 1:8 scale model. Of course the brilliant lime green colour needs to be mentioned, as it really makes the build stand out no matter where it's displayed or what the environment.
Ok, time to build this bad boy! We're not going to lie, this was an intimidating set to construct, just from looking at images of the inner workings of the mechanics, gearbox and suspension online. Still, no better place to start than the beginning, we cracked open box number one and got to work. Normally we'd have a set built in one or two sittings, but this one took us a full week to complete. Maybe ten full hours all up!
Once we'd finished patting ourselves on the back for our efforts on the build, we knew it was really time to roll up the sleeves and light the Lambo.
On first pass, we thought this would be fairly straight forward in terms of lighting and we'd have the kit ready for hungry supercar fans around the world in no time. Headlights, taillights, interior lights and we're done. Wham, bam thank you Sian. Right? Wrong. We initially used standard light bars for the all important Y-shaped headlights, similar to those that we use for minifigure lightsabers. However initial tests left us kind of underwhelmed, they lit up, sure, but they didn't scream Sian the same way that lime green did!
Once again as we have in the past, we turned to our trusted manufacturing partners to see what could be done. Was there an alternative way to light these bars? A more powerful method perhaps?
The first prototype upgrade consisted of the original light bar, but instead of a single bit light at the base, this prototype featured several bit lights encased along the length of the bar. While this first pass was certainly and upgrade in terms of brightness, each bit light was visible and exposed inside the bar which just didn't look right when lit. Back to the lighting board.
More discussion and brainstorming with our team followed and soon after we had the next iteration of the head light in our hands. This time the bar itself was completed with a 'frosted' look, the idea to smooth and even out the ambience of the bit lights inside. A case of two steps forward but one step back, the ambient light was indeed a bit more even, but ultimately it was still unbalanced and the bulbs still slightly visible! Strike two!
While some other companies may have settled with just a slightly brighter, uneven bar, there was no way we were going to ship a product that we weren't 100% excited to share with the Light My Bricks family.
We returned to the lab once more to solve the problem once and for all, this time starting from scratch. With our design table wiped clean and the clock ticking, the pressure was on.
Questions on the whereabouts of the Light My Bricks Lamborghini Sian light kit had begun to arise from the community and we knew we had to solve the puzzle once and for all.
The answer struck light a bolt of lightning, if all prototypes this far hadn't been bright enough or uneven, why not solve both issues by going overboard! The solution - a whopping total of 64 individual LEDS per bar, precisely 32 each side of an extremely thin circuit board encased in an opaque white tube. The density of the final tube combined with the intensity of all those 64 LEDS finally produced the desired effect. A bar that literally glows with the absolute power of a neon light. The result is truly dazzling. Our team had finally done it.
While the Y-shaped headlights are without a doubt the central focus for which the light kit is built around, from a design point of view, we wanted to balance things out by creating an interesting effect with those taillights as well. Traditionally we would have replaced the solid red plates included in the set with a transplate to let a regular sized bit light shine through. This time around however, we were in a more experimental mood - perhaps buoyed in confidence after solving the riddle of the headlights! So the original solid plates were kept and instead of a regular sized bit light in each of the 12 triangles, a large bit light was placed. The large bit light is not only a much more powerful light, it's more spot light than ambient light, so this means that when encased inside the tail plate, the result is a focused, intense red glow as each large bit light shines through the solid red plastic.
We're proud to have lit the LEGO Lamborghini Sian. It's an incredible example of design, engineering and expertise and these are all qualities that are important to us at Light My Bricks. We like to take our time, problem solve, create new experiences and make sure every aspect of what we do is done to the highest standard. From packaging, to customer service, to the product itself.
We want to thank all members of our enthusiastic community who reached out to us during the development process, to enquire on the Lamborghini Sian light kit's release. It feels good to know we have the support of such a passionate fan base and we love being a part of the LEGO community and being able to deliver the best possible light kits on offer!
The wait for the Light My Bricks Lamborghini Sian light kit is over, will you be lighting your supercar up?

I feel more at home with oil paint than any other media, as I prefer to blend colors often on the surface. Acrylic paint due to its fast drying quality makes it difficult to maneuver while working, unless one is very quick. Hence, I keep trying different styles with acrylic paint. This is one such trial painting. I particularly like the golden yellow flowers showing prominently against the darker background.
As usual, I have used limited palate comprising Titanium white, sap green, yellow ochre, permanent yellow medium and burnt umber. I have tried bold brush strokes to capture the flowers, blending in colors as I moved towards the edges of the flowers in the foreground. Acrylic paint diluted with matte medium has been used to complete the background with crisscrossing broad brush strokes.

This course examines the morality of our treatment of nonhuman animals. We start by asking about the nature of moral rights and duties. What are rights, and where do they come from? How do we resolve conflicts among rights? Do animals have rights? Next, what are obligations, and where do they come from? What makes right actions right? Do we have special obligations to members of our own family, nation, or species? Is there a moral difference between killing and letting die? Do we have group obligations as well as individual obligations? We then ask how these issues apply to our treatment of nonhuman animals. Are we justified in treating animals as property under the law? Are we justified in using animals for food, clothing, entertainment, research, or companionship? Finally, what are the ethics of animal advocacy?
Same as ANST-UA 440. Students study human interaction with both food and animals, as well as the environmental impacts and ethical issues that arise from such interaction. Focus is on the moral standing of animals, animals as food, and the environmental impacts of agriculture, transportation, and consumption. The course also surveys major thinkers in the field, including Michael Pollan, Peter Singer, Jim Mason, Wendell Berry, David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Martha Nussbaum. Students engage in collaborative research projects, and including field trips to local agricultural sites.
The course examines the scandals that launched the field of research ethics and consider the ethical principles that arose in reaction. A central issue concerns the nature and limits of informed consent. Topics include: what makes consent valid? What kind of understanding is required for consent to count as 'informed'? How should we distinguish research and clinical care? What clinical responsibilities to researchers have in designing and conducting studies? What does it take to justify research when consent is impossible, as in the case of children or incapacitated patients? When, if ever, is it acceptable to use deception in research? What else is required, beyond informed consent, to justify research? In particular, what sorts of social goals should research promote, and what social harms must it avoid.
This course surveys central issues in the ethics of human reproduction. Topics include the morality of abortion; whether we can harm people by bringing them into existence; moral issues raised by assisted reproduction; genetic selection and enhancement; the impact of our reproductive choices on future generations. The course will introduce students to philosophical conceptions of personal identity, fundamental moral notions (e.g., harm, interests, autonomy, respect), and the standards of bioethical debate.
This course is a survey of ethical, political, and metaphysical issues relating to disability. Foundational issues addressed include: What is disability? Is disability inherently bad or instead neutral? How do disabled people describe their life, relationships, and experiences? Is it permissible to intentionally cause or prevent disability? What is the relationship between disability and well-being? Other topics include the ethics of genetic screening and selection, procreative responsibilities, disability and justice, the moral status of people with severe cognitive disabilities, and the ethics of care and dependency.
This course focuses on ethical and epistemological issues that arise given the ubiquity of the Internet and the ocean of information available both to us and about us. How, if at all, should so-called "Big Data" and associated technologies be regulated? What should governments, parents, and employers be able to learn about you based on your digital footprint? Questions concerning privacy, autonomy, informed consent, and the extent to which values should constrain technology will also be discussed. The second part of the course investigates questions concerning knowledge, understanding, objectivity, and trust in the Internet Age, including the prevalence of "fake news" and the negative impact of "information bubbles".
This course examines moral issues in medical practice and research. Topics include euthanasia and quality of life; deception, hope, and paternalism; malpractice and unpredictability; patient rights, virtues, and vices; animal, fetal, and clinical research; criteria for rationing medical care; ethical principles, professional codes, and case analysis (for example, Quinlan, Willowbrook, Baby Jane Doe).
This course addresses questions of justice concerning health and health care. Topics include the nature, justification, and limits of the (purported) right to health care; the ethics of health care rationing and cost containment; competing theories of justice; the ethics of "nudging" in health care; inequality and exploitation; privatization; the nature and ethics of disability; and markets on the margins.
This class is a historical exploration of medical ethics and its recent transition to bioethics. It begins with the Hippocratic Oath and moves forward, exploring topics including human experimentation, death & dying, the technological imperative, medical errors, genetic testing and medical futility. Major topics include how to balance scientific progress with the rights of experimental subjects and the replacement of physician-based paternalism with patient autonomy. Scandals, such as Tuskegee and the Human Radiation Experiments, will be discussed. Much attention will be paid to the interaction of medical ethics with issues of race, gender and sexuality.
Examines fundamental questions of moral philosophy: What are our most basic values, and which of them are specifically moral values? What are the ethical principles, if any, by which we should judge our actions, ourselves, and our lives? Prerequisite: one introductory course.
Examines the nature and grounds of judgments about moral and/or nonmoral values. Are such judgments true or false? Can they be more or less justified? Are the values of which they speak objective or subjective? Prerequisite: one introductory course.
This course introduces philosophical ethics through an engagement with environmental issues of population growth and resource use, sustainability, non-human animal welfare, biodiversity loss, environmental justice, and global climate change. No prior experience with philosophy is required. The two main goals of the course are to provide students with a more sophisticated conceptual vocabulary to make and evaluate ethical arguments across domains and to engage students' ethical reasoning and reflection on environmental issues in particular.


I was slightly startled, but very pleased to see my old mucker Rory O'Connor on TV last night. He was on BBC2's programme about the race to the south pole by Scott and Amundsen. He's the team doctor for the British Team.
Background: Rory is 37 years old and is a medical director for an oil company in Kazakhstan.
He also spent a year-and-a-half as the doctor on a British Antarctic Survey base where he got to practice cross-country skiing, man-hauling, sea ice travel, mountain ascents and glacier travel.
Since then Rory has continued to challenge himself physically and mentally with a wide range of expeditions.
Experience: Rory's expedition experience spans more than 15 years and includes both mountaineering and skiing. He has cycled from Lhasa to Kathmandu, crossed both the Greenland and Norwegian icecaps, climbed Kilimanjaro and climbed in the Himalayas.

We often see beautiful, hand-knitted, 'made in the UK' sweaters for sale in shops at very low prices. As knitters, we literally didn't understand how these shops could sell them at those rock bottom prices. How could it work?
Sadly, the answer seems to be low pay for the skilled artisans who actually make the garments.
A lot of these garments are made by home workers, who are knitting as a supplement to their regular income. Groups of them are 'run' by a knitting gang-master. Yes, for real, a gang-master. They're paid on a per piece basis, and are not employed with any of the rights of employment.
So it is, that in the shops of London, it's possible to purchase something 'made in the UK' by someone earning less than the minimum wage.

Bicycle Mayor Summit Leads to New Insights, Partnerships and Opportunities
Share Link Pin Tweet Email
Amsterdam based social enterprise BYCS organised a summit of the international Bicycle Mayors from 8 to 14 October in Mexico City. The six day event brought the changemakers together to discuss challenges, share solutions and identify ways to radically accelerate city transformation through cycling. The event was fruitful and included a visit to the Dutch embassy in Mexico; a treasure hunt exercise that led to valuable insights on city problem solving, and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Bicycle Mayors of Bangalore, (Sathya Sankaran) Mexico-city (Areli Carréon) and BYCS founder Maud de Vries.
One of the main events of the Summit was a treasure hunt through Mexico city in which the Bicycle Mayors went through the city by bicycle, taking in the challenges it faces and using Design Thinking methods to think of ways to tackle them, in Mexico City and in any other city that faces the same issues. The exercise led to many new insights on solving environmental, infrastructural and social issues.
Philippe Dagher, Bicycle Mayor of Beirut said:
"Exploring the city by bike is the best way to identify the obstacles that it faces. In a megacity like Mexico City the potential impact of the bicycle is evident. The Design Thinking methods we used here to solve the social and infrastructural issues of this city, can be applied anywhere in the world. The main lesson, is that taking space away from cars to give back to bikes and pedestrians, gives cities the opportunity to flourish, and acts as a catalyst for creativity, good health and social cohesion."
Shift: Mexico City
On day two, a large public event was held as part of the summit, which was opened by the Dutch Ambassador of Mexico, Margriet Leemhuis. After the brief introduction the Bicycle Mayors held Pecha Kucha style presentations on innovation, infrastructure and policy.

Dutch embassy of Mexico
Another summit milestone was a visit to the dutch embassy in Mexico, where the bicycle mayors met the dutch ambassador, Margriet Leemhuis. The bicycle mayors were very grateful for support they got from the embassy.
Margriet Leemhuis said:
"It was great meeting these changemakers from around the world, and to see the energy and passion of this group. I truly believe every city would benefit from having a Bicycle Mayor appointed to stimulate cycling, for healthier, happier and more social cities "

MOU around cycling to work and mental health
Another promising outcome of the Summit was that the Bicycle Mayors of Bangalore, Sathya Sankaran, and Mexico City, Areli Carréon, along with BYCS founder Maud de Vries, signed an MOU in order to explore further opportunities in scaling the role of the bicycle in making both megacities happier and healthier places for their inhabitants, while spending significantly less resources as other modes of transport demand.
Sathya Sankaran, Bicycle Mayor of Bengaluru, said:
"Promoting our bike to work-program (biketowork.co) in both cities, with a joint effort focusing on global companies, will already be a big step forward. Besides that, it will be very interesting to bring both our governments to see where we can learn from each others efforts and inspire both to systemically invest in cycling. With the largest cycling congres, Vélo-city, coming to Mexico in 2020, we would like to be prepared by then and be an example to other megacities, for example Istanbul."
Areli Carréon, Bicycle Mayor of Mexico City, founder of Bicitekas and one of the ten Women for Climate of Mexico City, wants to start with Bike to Work and simultaneously kick off the 'Go Cycling' campaign that BYCS just started in the business district of Amsterdam South.
Areli Carreon said:
"We all know every day cycling makes a massive contribution when it comes to personal health and in my own story, when I was suffering from mental issues, that was the moment when I fell in love with the bike, many years ago. We have so many people in Mexico suffering from depression, we really need to work harder to become a bicycle-oriented city. Now our mode share is at 2%, I would love to take that up to 20% by 2020."
Carreon and Sankaran are inspiring their governments to visit each others cities, using their MOU.
The summit concluded with a closing ceremony, in which the Bicycle Mayors wrapped up the learnings from the summit and shared what strategies they plan to take back to implement in their own cities. Thereafter they joined in a group bike ride through Mexico City as part of its car free day. If you'd like to know more, head over to bicyclemayor.org.
The Bicycle Mayor summit was initiated together with BAM Infra, and Alcaldía de la Bicicleta CDMX, and supported by Centro de Cultura Digital Bicitekas, Brompton, Concepto Ciudad and CityEs.


This blog is an invitation to come along on a journey which explores the depths of life and the beauty which lies within it.
Pain, despair or simply unhappiness are often with us. Sometimes they are necessary to help us come to terms with events in our lives. But often they are unnecessary; self inflicted or inflicted by an environment which is not fit for our needs.
I have created this website to create a beacon of light, goodness and knowledge which anyone might turn towards in times of difficulty. Of course, there are plenty of resources already available for this; but the texts offered here distinguish themselves from these in a crucial way: they seek to help you find deep understanding and meaning rather than offering hollow checklists, cheap tricks or superficial solutions.
I will not lie; to understand and apply what is discussed on this website is challenging; it will require you to think deeply and be honest with yourself.
Why is this website called spear of Light? Because it can bring you light and goodness; but for this it must pierce through the layers and layers of convenient deception, lies and habits you have unwillingly nourished every day of your life. Take this spear of light and understanding into your own hands and embrace a better way of living for yourself and others.
Most ideas presented here will be in rough form and invite your contribution to refine, improve or discard them.


The Sidney Community School District continued its process of working toward a vote on a school bond this spring during the sixth in a series of community meetings on Monday night at the junior senior high school. David Burton, pictured above, and Daric O'Neal of Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture joined Tim Meyer of Boyd Jones Construction in directing the discussion as patrons of the district learned about a number of different plans for building improvement projects, their price tags and the effect that bonds of different amounts would have on their tax obligations. Plans up for consideration included a $7 million option which would have no impact on taxes. Another plan had a price tag of $8.5 million with a 50 cent levy increase and the third plan with a price of $10 million would carry a $1 levy increase. The third of the plans, which included a new Career Technical Engineering building at the high school, an all weather track, football field work and a press box/grandstand at the current football field, was favored. Other features of the prefered plan would include extra classroom space, a gymnatorium space, front entrance work at the high school, parking and HVAC work. A vote on the bond could be taken by early April.

ASEAN can learn from the EU's integration successes and setbacks
THITINAN PONGSUDHIRAK June 30, 2016 12:00 JST

A generation or two ago, university courses in Southeast Asia compared the fledgling cooperation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to Europe's impressive integration. Southeast Asia's aspirational regionalism then was inspired and informed by Europe's methodical climb from a postwar customs union to an expanded "single market" and eventually a full-fledged political and economic entity with collective security and defense policies, relatively borderless populations and a single currency.
This is no longer the case. Brexit, the U.K.'s decision to go it alone after a 43-year membership in the European Union, is merely the latest manifestation of Europe's unappealing mixture of debt and financial destruction, migration and refugee influxes, and sporadic jihadi terror, among other foreboding crises. Yet for ASEAN, as the central platform for regional order-building in Asia, Europe after Brexit is instructive for the future navigation and direction for the 10-member group and for the rest of Asia.
WHEN TO STOP The chief Brexit lesson for Asia is to pursue continued regional cooperation without going all the way to integration. To be sure, Asia never harbored Europe's Greco-Roman roots of a common identity, nor the recurrent historical enmities that fueled two devastating global conflicts in half a century that eventually drove the continent to close ranks and come together. While the European project was fundamentally set up to reduce Franco-German rivalry by binding Berlin into a regional organization, Asia has been different. Japan, Asia's Germany equivalent, was rebuilt under America's tutelage. Asia's problem is that its rough-hewn regional order under American auspices dating from the Cold War no longer works, contested as it is by China's assertive rise and compounded by the global preoccupations and domestic polarization of the U.S.
In its place, ASEAN has been the fulcrum for regional architecture-building in Asia, but with limited success. If Europe went too far with economic integration and political union, ASEAN has not gone far enough. It still needs to do more in institutionalizing its cooperative ventures, even though it has spawned a clutch of regional vehicles that have kept Asia stable and prosperous, such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in 1989, the ASEAN Free Trade Area in 1992, the ASEAN Regional Forum in 1994, the ASEAN+3 in 1998, the East Asia Summit in 2005 and the ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting Plus. More recently, ASEAN's crowning achievement was the launch of the ASEAN Community, comprising three pillars known as the ASEAN Political-Security Community, the ASEAN Economic Community and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community.
But this crucial constellation of regionalism requires organizational wherewithal that can draft and enforce rules and ensure collective action to address regional tensions. The South China Sea issue, for example, has emerged as the existential geopolitical contest between maritime ASEAN claimant states and China at a time when rules are lacking and the chance of conflict has increased. The Philippines and Vietnam have been forced to draw in the U.S. as a counterweight to China. A "code of conduct" to govern interstate relations in the South China Sea is elusive because ASEAN is disunited and divided by Beijing's strategy to keep Southeast Asian states off balance.
NOT THE EU ASEAN's way of integration is loosely structured and essentially nonbinding, based on norms, functions and "connectivity" work plans on the ground rather than supra-nationality and legalistic and binding treaties. Its secretariat in Jakarta is dwarfed when compared to the massive and overweening EU bureaucracy in Brussels. With ASEAN being consensus-driven, without majority voting or any effective dispute settlement mechanism, state sovereignty has been so well-maintained that it precludes the organizational teeth needed to promote common causes, such as greater economic integration, mitigation of environmental damage, and elimination of human trafficking, among a wide array of nontraditional security issues.
Many in Southeast Asia will look to Europe's disarray after Brexit as a vindication that the "ASEAN Way" of cooperation had it right, that supra-nationality and outright integration are not worth the price of sovereignty and the democratic deficit that leads to popular disillusionment. Such a takeaway would be misguided. In the end, the postwar European enterprise that turned into a political and economic union may prove to be several steps too far. But this is not a time to discard global and regional integration for a "go-it-alone" world.
The EU can still regroup and reinvent itself by internal reforms and retrenchment to ease integration up to a point that satisfies the demands and addresses the anxieties of its populations. For ASEAN, this is a time to look at how much political and economic integration can achieve and at how much Europe has gained from it. Brexit will result in Asia gaining more attention as global power and wealth shifts to this most populous region with the biggest land mass and strongest growth potential in the world.
Asia certainly does not want to move anywhere close to European integration, but it needs more cooperation and collaboration. ASEAN's central organizing role remains the main game in the region by default. Its leaders should recognize the ironic lesson from Europe that this is a time to accelerate regional cooperation and collaboration where and when they can, with the ultimate aim of achieving measured and selective integration down a road yet to be determined.

Halliday, Hugh A.. "Duel". The Canadian Encyclopedia, 15 December 2013, Historica Canada. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/duel. Accessed 20 April 2019.
A duel is a formal armed combat between 2 people in the presence of witnesses, to settle differences or a point of honour. Duels were recorded in NEW FRANCE as early as 1646; the last known duel in what is now Canada occurred in 1873 at St John's, Nfld (a hilarious shoot-out for which the seconds had loaded the pistols with blanks). Duels in the French regime were fought exclusively with swords; after the Conquest almost all were with pistols. Most incidents ended without injury, but there were some fatal encounters: at least 9 died in New France, 2 in Lower Canada, 5 in Upper Canada, 2 each in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and 1 in Newfoundland.
The last fatal duel occurred 22 May 1838 at VERDUN, Lower Canada, when lawyer Robert Sweeny shot and killed Major Henry Warde, who had sent a love letter to Mrs Sweeny. The last fatal duel in Upper Canada [Ontario] took place in Perth 13 June 1833. Defending his honour, John Wilson shot and killed Robert Lyon, who had called him a liar and assaulted him. Wilson and his second were charged with murder, but were acquitted.
Several famous Canadians fought duels: James DOUGLAS duelled at Île-à-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan in 1820 during a fur trade dispute; Joseph HOWE fought in 1840 to prove his courage and gain the opportunity to decline further challenges; George-Étienne CARTIER duelled in 1848 to refute accusations of cowardice 11 years earlier at the Battle of ST-DENIS; and in 1849 John A. MACDONALD had to be prevented from fighting a political opponent.
Duels were fought in a variety of places: in locked rooms, in open fields or across tables. Causes also varied, and were often trivial. In 1800 at York [Toronto], John Small shot and killed John White after the latter spread gossip that Mrs Small was the former mistress of an English lord. A quarrel over card-game winnings led to a fatal duel in St John's, Nfld, in March 1826. Sharp political disputes in Lower Canada resulted in a spate of challenges and meetings between 1834-37.
Authorities considered duelling a crime, and to kill in a duel was tantamount to murder. However, the laws were irregularly enforced. In New France, several duellists were imprisoned, banished or executed; even the bodies of men killed in duels were desecrated. Under English rule, juries consistently refused to convict duellists if they felt that the encounters had somehow been conducted fairly and honourably.

Guillaume Corneille Biography
Guillaume Corneille, otherwise simply known as Corneille, was a Dutch radical artist who was born in 1922. Although he was born in Belgium, his parents were Dutch, and they moved back to the Netherlands when Corneille was 12. Skilled in paint, print and ceramics, Corneille studied at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam, where he became friends with fellow artist Karel Appel. Together, the two friends were responsible for founding Cobra, an Avant Garde group made up of international artists. The movement had a great influence on Scandinavian art, which is similar in its simple, bright and colourful style.
In 1951, Corneille moved to Paris where he went beyond the naturalistic nature of his work and began painting in a cubist style. He took a lot of his inspiration from modern artists like Paul Klee and Joan Miro, who worked boldly in surrealist styles. Similarly to the reputable artists of Cubism, such as its well-known founder Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Corneille became inspired by primitive art and started to collect African artefacts. Showing that Corneille's art was influenced by all walks of art, his sensual use of colour was similar to that of the fellow Dutch artist, Vincent Van Gogh. The imaginative content of his work made it stand out, as though Corneille had hybridised the colours and shapes of several influencers to create his unique scenes of birds-eye views in a childlike context.

Earlier this year, Elektra Records marked its 60th anniversary. At a time when the music industry is facing an identity crisis and record labels of all sizes are closing up shop, six decades is no small feat.
The label, now a subsidiary of Warner Music Group, is commemorating the milestone by launching an extensive anniversary campaign with concerts, lectures, merchandise and a website — Elektra60.com — that chronicles its impressive time line. An imprint with Elektra's cachet could have chosen any number of major design firms to give those materials a distinctive look. Instead, the label kept the work of branding its 60th birthday in-house. Sort of.
That's an understatement. Harvey's father, William S. Harvey, was the art director at Elektra Records from 1953 to 1973. The elder Harvey was half of the Elektra brain trust that revolutionized the music industry's concept of album packaging and created many of rock and roll's iconic images — for example, the Doors' logo and the Elektra butterfly.
Jac Holzman, the 79-year-old founder of Elektra Records and the other half of that team, concedes that Bill's surname got his foot in the door.
But landing the anniversary gig was hardly a case of nepotism. Bill Harvey grew up outside New York City and apprenticed under his father in Los Angeles during college. He settled in Vermont in the 1970s and worked as the art director of Burlington alternative newsweekly the Vermont Vanguard Press from 1979 to 1982. While there, he met Severance, a Vermont native who had studied at Parsons School of Design in New York. More recently, Harvey has helmed a number of book-development projects, including a history of R&B called Heart & Soul: A Celebration of Black Music Style in America.
"I felt the continuity from father to son, if [Bill] could give us what we wanted, was a nice gesture to the history," Elektra's Holzman says. "But if he couldn't do it, his name would have gotten him kicked out the door," he adds with a chuckle.
Digging into the history of Elektra proved an emotional experience for the younger Harvey.
Indeed, Holzman gave the eulogy at Harvey senior's funeral in 1992.
Contentious as the collaboration may have been, the body of work it produced speaks for itself. William Harvey did every album jacket Elektra produced during his tenure, from the company's 10th record on. (A then-little-known illustrator named Maurice Sendak did the first nine.) William Harvey's résumé includes album jackets that helped build the foundation of rock iconography, including packages for MC5, the Stooges and Love.
He adds that, while other labels produced interesting album art, Elektra's approach and mindset set it apart.
"It's almost a bad word, 'branding,'" Bill Harvey says. "There was a much bigger brand thinking, consideration of a visual brand, than most labels had." But, even as the company pioneered creative branding, he adds, its designers were aware of the precarious balance between art and commerce. They didn't let the latter subsume the former.
Bill Harvey recalls the design philosophy that created that distinction. "The most significant thing my father ever told me was that ideas are the things that have value," he says.
The idea for Elektra's anniversary? Simple.
"It was the artists," says Harvey.
The centerpiece of Harvey|Sever-ance's design work for the anniversary is a deceptively plain poster that can be viewed on the Elektra60 site. It is dominated by a list of artists' names written in Severance's distinctive, and familiar, hand-lettered style. (Her first major design gig was as the typographer for Ben & Jerry's.) Below that is a smaller procession of Elektra-related logos.
The names appear "roughly chronologically," taking viewers from the beginning of Elektra (Jean Ritchie, Woody Guthrie) through the advent of Asylum (the Eagles, Tom Waits), and the merger with Warner Bros. (Mötley Crüe, Björk, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott).
The artist at the end of the list is undoubtedly Elektra's least recognizable. Though he's hardly a household name, his contributions to the label changed the face of the music industry.
That name: William S. Harvey.
"It really has all come full circle," says his son.

Milan Pogačnik, né le  à Celje, est un homme politique slovène. Il est Ministre de l'Agriculture, des Forêts et de l'Alimentation d' à novembre 2000 puis de  à .

Biographie
Milan Pogačnik naît à Celje, qui fait alors partie de la République populaire de Slovénie dans la République populaire fédérale de Yougoslavie. Il étudie la médecine vétérinaire à l'université de Ljubljana, où il obtient son diplôme en 1971. Il obtient son doctorat en 1984. Entre 1990 et 2008, il est doyen de la faculté de médecine vétérinaire de l'université de Ljubljana.

Carrière
Entre 1994 et 1998, il est membre du Conseil de l'enseignement supérieur de la République de Slovénie, et entre 1999 et 2002, membre du Conseil slovène pour la science et la technologie; ces deux organes sont consultatifs auprès du gouvernement slovène. Entre 2000 et 2003, il est à la tête de l'Institut vétérinaire national, et entre 2002 et 2004, il préside le Conseil des politiques vétérinaires au sein du ministère de l'Agriculture, des Forêts et de la Nutrition. Entre 2003 et 2008, il est membre du conseil scientifique et consultatif du Centre commun de recherche du Centre européen pour la validation des méthodes alternatives au sein de la Commission européenne. Entre 2007 et 2008, il est membre du conseil d'administration de l'Autorité européenne de sécurité des aliments.

Milan Pogačnik entre pour la première fois sur la scène politique slovène en 2000, lorsque le Premier ministre Janez Drnovšek le propose comme candidat au poste de ministre de l'Agriculture après le départ du Parti populaire slovène de la coalition gouvernementale. Cependant, le gouvernement de Drnovšek tombe avant que Milan Pogačnik ne puisse être confirmé au Parlement. En , après que le Parti populaire slovène ait de nouveau quitté le gouvernement, le Premier ministre Anton Rop le nomme ministre de l'Agriculture. Lors des élections législatives slovènes de 2004, Milan Pogačnik se présente sans succès au Parlement sur la liste de Démocratie libérale slovène. Les élections sont remportées par l'opposition conservatrice, et Milan Pogačnik est remplacé par la femme politique démocrate Marija Lukačič.

Lors des élections législatives de 2008, Milan Pogačnik se présente comme candidat des sociaux-démocrates de l'opposition. Après l'élection, il est nommé ministre de l'agriculture dans le gouvernement de Borut Pahor. Au début de l'année 2010, Pozareport.si, puis d'autres médias, révèlent une série d'irrégularités concernant le traitement par le ministère de l'agriculture des cas de retrait et de restitution de chiens, qui, à leur retour, tuent leur propriétaire. Les articles révèlent des liens étroits entre les fonctionnaires du ministère et le propriétaire du chien. Entre autres informations, les médias publient des photos de la scène du crime le matin suivant la mort du propriétaire du chien, montrant la secrétaire d'État du ministère de l'agriculture, Sonja Bukovec, en train de pleurer et d'étreindre la sœur du propriétaire du chien. Au parlement, une motion de censure (appelée interpellation en Slovénie) est initiée contre Milan Pogačnik pour de nombreuses irrégularités dans les événements liés à ces chiens et il démissionne.

Accusations de corruption
En février et , Milan Pogačnik est signalé par les médias comme étant impliqué dans différents scandales de corruption. Les partis d'opposition lancent une motion d'interpellation contre lui concernant la restitution de deux chiens au médecin Saša Baričevič. Toutefois, le , avant que les accusations portées contre lui ne soient discutées à l'Assemblée nationale, il est arrêté par la police slovène pour être interrogé sur des transactions foncières douteuses et des échanges de faveurs avec le dirigeant du Parti national slovène (SNS), Zmago Jelinčič. Il est rapporté que Milan Pogačnik essaye d'obtenir le soutien du parti de Jelinčič pour une loi clé sur les terres agricoles et dans le vote de défiance contre lui en échange de l'obtention d'un terrain pour un musée national de l'aviation près de Murska Sobota (nord-est de la Slovénie) pour lequel Jelinčič fait pression. Le lendemain, le , il démissionne de son poste de ministre de l'agriculture. Le , il est remplacé temporairement par Henrik Gjerkeš, qui est également ministre de l'autonomie locale et du développement régional à l'époque. En , Dejan Židan est nommé nouveau ministre de l'agriculture. En , une plainte est déposée contre Milan Pogačnik par la police criminelle de Koper.

The History of Diabetes - The Diabetic Show!
As long as there's been a pancreas, it seems there's also been diabetes. No matter which things you read, it can be agreed diabetes has been with us for a very long time. Here's some diabetes history in a convenient timelinem as compiled by Dawn Swidorski from the website DefeatDiabetes.org.
1552 BC – Written on a 3rd Dynasty Egyptian papyrus, physician Hesy-Ra mentions frequent urination as a symptom. This is the earliest known record of diabetes.
1500 BC — Ancient Hindu writings note that ants are attracted to the urine of people with a mysterious emaciating disease.
500 BC — The first descriptions of sugar in the urine and its occurrence in obese individuals.
250 BC — Apollonius of Memphis is credited with coining the term "diabetes", meaning to go through, or siphon, for a disease that drains patients of more fluid than they can consume.
164 AD – Greek physician, Galen of Pergamum, diagnoses diabetes as a kidney ailment.
Up to 11th Century – Since the urine of people with diabetes is thought to be sweet tasting, diagnosis is often made by "water tasters" who drink the urine of those suspected of having diabetes. Mellitus, the Latin word for honey, is added to the term "diabetes".
16th Century – Paracelsus identifies diabetes as a serious general disorder.
For thousands of years, no one knows how to live with diabetes, let alone treat or cure it. Children with diabetes often die within days of onset and older people deal with devastating complications. Remedies range from herbs to bleeding.
1776 – Dobson finds a substance like brown sugar in appearance and taste when diabetic urine evaporates. He also notes a sweetish taste of sugar in the blood of diabetics. He observes that, for some people, diabetes is fatal in less than five weeks and, for others, is a chronic condition. This is the first time that a distinction between Type 1 and Type 2 has been made.
1797 – Rollo applies the first significant dietary approach to the treatment of diabetes. He successfully treats a patient using a high fat and protein diet after observing that sugar in the urine increases after eating starchy food.
1798 – Rollo documents excess sugar in the blood, as well as the urine.
Early 1800′s – Researchers develop the first chemical tests to indicate and measure the presence of sugar in the urine.
1848 – Bernard discovers that glycogen is formed by the liver and speculates that this is the same sugar found in the urine of diabetics. This is the first linking of diabetes and glycogen metabolism.
Late 1850s – The French physician, Priorry, advises diabetes patients to eat extra large quantities of sugar as a treatment. Oops! This won't be the last time that strange and unhelpful treatments for diabetes will be tried.
1869 – Langerhans, a German medical student, announces the pancreas contains two types of cells – one set secretes the normal pancreatic fluids, while the function of the other is unknown. Later, these cells are identified as the "islets of Langerhans", which help produce the hormone insulin.
1870s – French physician, Bouchardat, notices the disappearance of sugar in the urine of his diabetes patients during the food rationing in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War and formulates the idea of individualized diets.
1889 – Minkowski and von Mering, at the University of Strasbourg, France, remove the pancreas from a dog to determine the effect on digestion and discover that diabetes develops.
In 1897, the average life expectancy for a 10-year-old child with diabetes is about 1 year. Diagnosis at age 30 carries a life expectancy of about 4 years. A newly diagnosed 50-year-old might live 8 more years.
1908 – Zuelzer extracts a pancreatic "substance" and injects it into five diabetes patients. Although sugar in the urine is reduced or disappears, the side effects of treatment are extreme and unacceptable.
1909 – de Meyer of Belgium proposes the name "insulin" (Latin: insula, island) for the unknown pancreatic substance.
1911 – Benedict devises a new method to measure urine sugar (Benedict's Solution).
1900-1915 – Diabetes treatment includes: the "oat-cure" (daily allowance is approximately eight ounces of oatmeal mixed with eight ounces of butter, eaten every two hours), the milk diet, the rice cure, "potato therapy", opium, and overfeeding to compensate for the loss of fluids and weight.
1913 – Allen's book, Studies Concerning Glycosuria and Diabetes, stimulates a revolution in diabetes therapy.
1910-1920 – Allen and Joslin are considered the two leading diabetes specialists in the United States. Joslin believes that diabetes is "the best of the chronic diseases" because it was "clean, seldom unsightly, not contagious, often painless and susceptible to treatment".
1916 – Allen promotes a strict diet regimen, which is soon widely adopted. Allen believes that the diabetic's body cannot use food, so he limits the amount of food allowed patients. Patients were admitted to the hospital and given only whiskey mixed with black coffee (or clear soup for teetotalers) every two hours from 7 am to 7 pm. This diet is followed until there is no sign of sugar in the urine – usually 5 days or less. A strict diet follows. Outcomes are better than ever seen before for those with Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, those patients with Type 1 commonly die during the treatment, likely from starvation. A few young people do survive and become the first insulin users.
1919 – Allen publishes Total Dietary Regulation in the Treatment of Diabetes, with exhaustive case records and observations of 76 of his 100 diabetes patients. He becomes the director of diabetes research at the Rockefeller Institute.
1920 – Banting conceives of the idea of insulin after reading Moses Barron's The Relation of the Islets of Langerhans to Diabetes with Special Reference to Cases of Pancreatic Lithiasis in the journal: Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics. With help from Best, Collip and Macleod, Banting continues experimenting with different pancreatic extracts on de-pancreatized dogs.
1921 – Paulescu, a distinguished Romanian scientist, publishes an article describing his successful isolation of "pancreine" – insulin.
1921 – Insulin is "discovered". A de-pancreatized dog is successfully treated with insulin.
1921 – Banting presents The Beneficial Influences of Certain Pancreatic Extracts on Pancreatic Diabetes, summarizing his work at a session of the American Physiological Society at Yale University.
1922 – In Toronto, one of Collip's insulin extracts is tested on a human being, a 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson. This test is considered a success by the end of the following February.
1922 – Eli Lilly and the University of Toronto strike a deal for the mass production of insulin in North America.
1923 – Banting and his colleague, Macleod, are awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Banting shares his award with Best; Macleod shares his with Collip.
While insulin can prevent early death from diabetic coma, insulin treatment does not prevent the chronic, disabling and sometimes deadly complications of the disease.
1925 – Home testing for sugar in the urine is introduced. Eight drops of urine is mixed in a test tube with 6 cc of Benedict's solution provided by the doctor. The tube is put into boiling water for five minutes. The color of the liquid indicates the presence of sugar: greenish (light sugar), yellow (moderate) or red/orange (heavy).
1940′s – The connection is made between diabetes and long-term complications such as kidney and eye disease.
1944 – A uniform insulin syringe is developed and diabetes management becomes more standardized.
By 1945, a newly diagnosed 10-year-old has a life expectancy of 45 years; a 30-year-old has 30.5 more years; and a 50-year-old might have 16 more years to live.
1948 – Joslin writes about the "unknown diabetic" in Postgraduate Medicine. Although a million people are known to have diabetes, he speculates a million more have it but don't know it. He is the first expert to emphasize that insulin alone cannot solve all diabetes-related issues.
Late 1940′s – Helen Free develops the "dip-and-read" urine test (Clinistix), allowing instant monitoring of blood glucose levels.
1950s – Specialists still recommend against marriage for people "with hereditary diabetes".
1951 – Lawrence and Bornstein measure the amount of insulin in the blood. They find that older and obese patients with diabetes do have insulin, but those who are young have none.
1955 – Oral drugs that help lower blood glucose levels are introduced.
1959 – Two major types of diabetes are recognized: Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes and Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.
1960′s – Home testing for glucose levels in the urine increases the level of control for people with diabetes.
1964 – The first strips for testing blood glucose are used. A drop of blood is placed on the paper strip for 1 minute, and then washed off. Comparing the color to a color chart provides a rough indication of blood glucose levels.
1965 – Instant glucose is developed.
1966 – Doctors at the University of Manitoba perform the first pancreas transplant.
1970 – First blood glucose meter (Ames) is introduced. It is intended for use in doctors' offices and costs around $500.
1970 – Insulin pumps are developed.
The development of testing equipment and supplies provides patients with much greater control and flexibility in the management of their diabetes.
1970 – Laser therapy is used to help slow or prevent blindness resulting from diabetes.
1973 – U-100 insulin is introduced.
1976 – HbA1c test is introduced.
1978 – Testing of the first recombinant DNA insulin is announced.
Until this date manufacturers of insulin have had to stockpile animal pancreatic tissue. This changes dramatically with the development of DNA technology that allows the manufacturing of a genetically engineered "human" type of insulin.
1978 – The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) is established to increase knowledge and understanding about diabetes among patients, health care professionals and the general public.
1983 – The first biosynthetic human insulin is introduced.
1983 – "Reflolux", later known as "Accu-Chek", is introduced allowing relatively easy and accurate blood glucose self-monitoring.
1986 – Insulin pen delivery system is introduced.
1990 – Defeat Diabetes Foundation established to address the issue of prevention, which was not being met by existing diabetes related organizations.
1993 – The landmark clinical trial Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) publishes its report. The study clearly demonstrates that more active self-management through nutrition, activity and monitoring of glucose levels (and adjustments) delays the onset and progression of long-term complications in Type 1 individuals. The study results shows proper management reduces risk complications significantly for eye disease (76%), kidney disease (50%) and nerve disease (60%).
1993 – Instant Glucose tablets are introduced.
1996 – The FDA approves the first recombinant DNA human insulin analogue, lispro (Humalog).
1990-1997 – External insulin pumps allow closer control and freedom from multiple injections. More sophisticated insulin analogues are introduced which offer faster action, less risk of reactions and more flexibility for diabetes management.
More than 300 insulin analogues have been identified, including 70 animal insulin's, 80 chemically modified insulin's and 150 biosynthetic insulin's. These allow physicians the ability to customize treatment, reduce side effects and have improved outcomes.
2003 – The names Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) for Type 1 and Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) for Type 2 diabetes are formally dropped.
The life expectancy for people with diabetes in 2004 is still lower than that for the general population by about 15 years.
2014 – 26 million Americans have diabetes and 1 in 3 of them don't know it. Another 79 million Americans are categorized as "pre-diabetic" and are at risk of developing diabetes in the next ten years if they don't make appropriate lifestyle changes.

Rockingham County ties state record with fourth straight 3-A title
By Eddie Southards
A new addition to the team and clutch scoring in the final round led the Rockingham County women to their fourth straight 3-A state golf championship.
"It's an outstanding accomplishment," said Rockingham County coach Mike Williams. "I've just been lucky the last four years to have a bunch of girls who go at golf like it's a business."
The four straight titles tied a state high school record in women's prep golf. The only other school to accomplish the feat was Salisbury in the 1-A/2-A classification from 2011-2014.
Junior Riley Hamilton, a transfer student, paced the Cougars in scoring at Longleaf Golf & Family Club in Southern Pines. She shot 76-74 – 150 and finished third in the individual scoring.
Hamilton transferred to Rockingham County this year from a private school in Virginia.
"It feels so cool," she said of the victory. "It's so great to be a part of something like this. We've gotten incredible support from the school."
The Cougars broke out of a tight three-team race after the first round to win by 13 shots. They shot 248 in the first round to trail Cox Mill of Concord by two shots. Northern Guilford, a conference rival, was right behind at 249. But Rockingham County shot 245 in the final round for a 493 total. Cox Mill and Northern Guilford tied for second place at 506.
"I told them we had to putt better and just stay in the moment," Williams said of his advice after the first round. "We had a bad day putting the first day. We had a seven-shot lead after the first nine holes but we had a terrible back nine. We kind of let everybody else back into it."
The other two scorers for the Cougars were junior Victoria Cook (79-82 – 161) and freshman Elli Flinchum (93-89 – 182).
"Our our goal was to keep the legacy going," Cook said.
Hamilton said she transferred to Rockingham County for both academic and athletic reasons.
"I wanted to get different credits and I wanted to play different golf," she said. "I had to play in the men's division in Virginia. It was a different situation but I was willing to try it. I'm glad I did."
Williams said his players' dedication to golf has been a key to the four-year title run.
"A lot of girls in high school put their clubs up and don't play in the offseason," he said. "We've been lucky to have a lot of good players who take it seriously. They aspire to play college golf so they play tournaments year-round. When you go at it as hard as they do, you're going to have some success.
"They're tournament golfers. It makes a difference when you come (to the state tournament) with those types of kids."
Northern Guilford finished second for the second straight year. The Nighthawks were hoping to end Rockingham County's streak after defeating the Cougars in the conference final and the East Central Regional this year.
"Rockingham has always been a tough team to beat," said Northern Guilford coach Ted Bonham.
Williams said having the Nighthawks push his team during the season made the Cougars better.
"I'd like to have it the other way around, where he's pushing us," Bonham laughed. "We've had some real dogfights and it's been a very fun, interesting conference."
Junior Siana Wong led the Nighthawks with rounds of 83 and 80.
Senior Kayla Smith of Burlington Williams finished second in the individual standings for the third straight year. She shot 75-73 to finish four shots behind winner Ana Tsiros of Asheville. Tsiros shot the only under-par round of the tournament, a 70 on the opening day, and never relinquished the lead. She followed with a 74 for an even-par total of 144.
"I'm a little disappointed I couldn't come out on top but I'm glad I was steady and solid overall," Smith said. "My goal was to win it but Ana made it a little bit difficult to do that. I tried to come back but she is just very steady and never really gave me an open door to jump on."
Smith and Tsiros are two of the top ranked junior players in North Carolina. Smith came in ranked sixth in the state and Tsiros was 10th. They also are good friends, getting to know each other through junior golf tournaments, and played together in the final round.
Smith's 75 in the first round was a great score considering how she started. She hit two balls out of bounds on the first tee and made a quadruple bogey eight. Then she played the final 17 holes in 1 under par.
"After that hole, I honestly had no idea how I was going to play that day or the rest of the tournament. I'm glad I was able to recover," Smith said.
First-year Williams coach Jim Pappas said about Smith finishing second again, "I'm sure there's a little disappointment but she has a great attitude. She's a class act."
East Chapel Hill was the only Triangle-area school to make the 3-A title field and finished well back tied for 10th.
Meanwhile, the future for Rockingham County could be a record fifth straight state title next year. The top three players plus two freshmen return for the Cougars.
"We'll have the same team back next year," Williams said. "It's exciting times. The future is still bright. For a rural school to have a good program like us … we're just lucky to get a lot of good golfers."

Jeffrey E. Max, Carlos S. Castillo, Donald A. Robin, Scott D. Lindgren, Wilbur L. Smith, Yutaka Sato, Philip J. Mattheis, Julie A.G. Stierwalt
Research Imaging Institute
Objective: To assess factors predictive of family outcome in the first 2 years after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adolescents. Method: Subjects were children aged 6 to 14 at the time they were hospitalized after TBI. The study used a prospective follow-up design. Assessments of preinjury factors (psychiatric, family functioning, and family life events), injury factors (severity of injury), and postinjury factors (coping and development of a psychiatric disorder, rower before present, i.e., 'novel') were conducted using standard clinical scales. The outcome measure was family function as assessed with standardized family functioning interviews (at 12 and 24 months after TBI) and primary caretaker self-report questionnaires (at 3 and 6 months after TBI). Results: Fifty subjects enrolled, and the analyses focused on 37, 41, 43, and 42 subjects assessed at the 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24- month follow-up evaluations, respectively. The strongest influences on family functioning after childhood TBI are preinjury family functioning, the development of a 'novel' psychiatric disorder in the child, and preinjury family life events or stressors. Conclusions: These data suggest that there are families, identifiable through clinical assessment, at increased risk for family dysfunction after a child's TBI. Early identification and treatment of the child's psychopathology and family dysfunction may attenuate the associated morbidity.

The eight-part miniseries premieres on The History Channel in 2011.
The first promotional poster of Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy Onassis has hit the web. Monday is the 47th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination.
"We have these wonderful seamstresses who are creating beautiful dresses that are obviously replicas of real things [Kennedy] wore," Holmes has said. "Her great style was both appropriate for every event that she went to and also classic, and also things that were wearable. I feel really lucky to be playing her."
The poster also shows Greg Kinnear as JFK, Barry Pepper as Bobby and Tom Wilkinson as their father, Joseph.
The eight-part miniseries premieres in early 2011.
It was also recently announced that Leonardo DiCaprio will star and produce a movie about the JFK's assassination.


Breweries and pub operators in the United Kingdom often categorize the pubs by the way they operate. If you like going to pubs, knowing this classification, and using it can be very helpful.
Most visitors of these pubs are between the age of 18 and 30. Many of them are not yet married, and are not making a lot of money, which is why these pubs often have inexpensive drinks and food options. Typically, such pubs are located in town centres, and may have live music. They often have a lot of staff as these pubs may get busy, and the speed of service is very important.
These pubs are typically located in well-established residential neighbourhoods. Often, they are oriented towards older married men, and offer games and traditional drinks. These pubs often have TVs that show popular sports events. The customers mostly come from the immediate vicinity of the pub, and get to the pub on foot. Because of this, such pubs do not need parking lots, and often don't have them. The pub serves as a hub for the community. The food choices are often very limited because the food is not why people go to traditional local pubs.
These pubs are popular because they offer interesting and unusual food. People may be driving from a wide area around, which is why such pubs typically have parking lots. The emphasis in such pubs is not on speed, but on the quality of food and superior service. Such pubs are often located in rural areas, close to farms where they can get excellent fresh ingredients including meats, and fruits and vegetables that they can use to prepare food. Wine and soft drinks are also popular in this type of pub.

Scientific works in the field of structural and chemical modification of cellulose and its derivatives. He explained the effect of organic solvents of different nature on the reactivity of nitric oxide and cellulose, established the effect of amorphization of cellulose and proposed a mechanism for the selective oxidation of cellulose with nitrogen oxide and its direct dissolution in mixtures of nitrogen oxide with electron-donor solvents. Cellulose solutions in new solvents turned out to be suitable for the formation of films, membranes, the synthesis of cellulose derivatives. Labile cellulose derivatives characterized by high reactivity, allowing to regulate the structural state of the polymer and obtain practically important materials on its basis, have been identified and studied. Thermo-oxidative transformation of cellulosic materials modified with inorganic compounds, highly dispersed inorganic oxides, ceramic fibers, ferrites, superconducting fibers were synthesized. The results of many years of research on the mechanism of cellulose oxidation with nitric oxide, the influence of various factors on this process, the physicochemical and sorption properties of the resulting derivatives made it possible to develop and master the original production technology of oxidized cellulose and a number of effective prolonged action of drugs based on it that have hemostatic, antimicrobial proteolytic, immunostimulating, cardiotropic and other actions, as well as an effective enterosorbent in the form thixotropic hydrogel. Preferred options have been developed for organizing the production of our own cellulose semi-finished products in Belarus based on agricultural raw materials (straw of annual plants, etc.).
Author of more than 600 scientific papers, incl. 2 monographs, 2 textbooks, about 200 inventions.

Well one things for sure, you can't deny a Zombie Walk isn't super badass and this one in Cincinnati, OH features Resident Evil favorite baddie Nemesis with giant guns and a group of the S.T.A.R.S. – a team of people who base their life to destroy zombies (no joke!) as they fight them off at Fountain Square!

World needs to turn back to God. He gives me dreams. I see visions at times. Better to be persecuted for God than judged with the world. No one listens, no one takes me seriously and is so sad. The world. just to Evil,time is shirt. Get right. signs are in the sky,weather,all around. May you open your eyes,get right with God before it is too late. For your soul sake. Battle between light and dark has already begun. I have seen the Angela battle in the sky.Light and Dark. Turn to Jesus,Get right!!!!!!!!!!!


Wives if we walk in the Spirit, then the desires of the flesh won't prevail in sticky situations with our husbands. The flesh makes us want to check on him, get him back, withdraw, withhold, nag, cheat on him, and ultimately leave him. In the flesh we are jealous, insecure, paranoid, domineering, vengeful, loud, loquacious, and flirtatious.
