Post is a city in and the county seat of Garza County, Texas, United States. The population was 5,376 at the 2010 census.
Post is located on the edge of the caprock escarpment of the Llano Estacado, the southeastern edge of the Great Plains. It is at the crossroads of U.S. Routes 84 and 380.
The land belonged to John Bunyan Slaughter, as it was on his U Lazy S Ranch. In 1906, Slaughter sold it to Charles William (C. W.) Post, the breakfast cereal manufacturer, who founded "Post City" as a utopian colonizing venture in 1907. Post devised the community as a model town. He purchased 200,000 acres (810 km2) of ranchland and established the Double U Company to manage the town's construction. The company built trim houses and numerous structures, which included the Algerita Hotel, a gin, and a textile plant. They planted trees along every street and prohibited alcoholic beverages and brothels. The Double U Company rented and sold farms and houses to settlers. A post office began in a tent during the year of Post City's founding, being established (with the name Post) July 18, 1907, with Frank L. Curtis as first postmaster. Two years later, the town had a school, a bank, and a newspaper, the Post City Post, the same name as the daily in St. Louis, Missouri. The Garza County paper today is called the Post Dispatch. The railroad reached the town in 1910. The town changed its name to "Post" when it incorporated in 1914, the year of C. W. Post's death. By then, Post had a population of 1000, 10 retail businesses, a dentist, a physician, a sanitarium, and Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches.

Post is the first solo album by Australian singer-songwriter rock musician, Paul Kelly. Kelly had moved to Sydney by January 1985, after leaving his Melbourne-based Paul Kelly Band and the breakup of his marriage to Hilary Brown.
The album was produced by Clive Shakespeare (Sherbet guitarist) and Kelly, and was released in May 1985 by the independent White Records label, leased to Mushroom Records. The album failed to chart in Australia, with only one single, "From St Kilda to Kings Cross", released in April which also failed to chart. The name of the album, Post relates to both being 'after' significant changes in Kelly's life and to the sense of a 'signpost' to future directions. Kelly dedicated the album to Paul Hewson, keyboardist and songwriter for New Zealand/Australian band Dragon who had died of a heroin overdose in January. Kelly has described Post as a concept album dealing with addictions - not necessarily heroin addiction - but various forms, he has also denied that the songs were autobiographical but that he wrote about the world around him.

Frankfurt is a prototype river icebreaker constructed by Hitzler Werft for icebreaking duties on the Elbe River, Oder River, and canals in Germany, operated by the Wasser und Schifffahrtsamt Eberswalde. She was built in 2002. Three further vessels, built to a similar design, were ordered by the Wasser und Schifffahrtsamt in 2009.
As the lead ship of her class, models of the Frankfurt underwent testing in a large ice-tank laboratory. She cost 4.2 million euros.
Her design features a pair of diesel generators that power electric motors that actually drive the propeller. The use of a diesel-electric system provides a "good torque curve", and eliminates the need for a bulky gearbox. The electric motor can consume up to 700 kilowatts (940 hp) She has a third "harbor diesel" of 15 kilowatts (20 hp).

Nuclear Court Cases in Japan
CNIC frequently refers to legal issues in its articles about the campaigns being waged against nuclear facilities in Japan. We thought readers might be interested in some background on the various legal challenges that have been made over the years. After some introductory comments about the legal system in Japan (which is probably very similar to that in other countries), this article will discuss some specific cases and general trends that can be discerned.
There are various different types of litigation that can arise in relation to nuclear facilities. One type is where residents/citizens demand that the construction or operation of a nuclear facility be stopped. This type can be broken down into two sub-types: administrative cases, where the government is the defendant and the petitioner demands that the approval for the facility be annulled, and civil cases, where the company is the defendant and the petitioner demands that construction and/or operations be terminated.
In contrast to these types, there are also cases where citizens are prosecuted. These might include civil cases where property rights are challenged, or criminal cases relating to the actions of activists at the site (for example illegal entry, or violence). In the case of criminal suits, the Public Prosecutor lays the charges.
Some cases are heard by a summary court, but the majority of cases are heard by a District Court. If either party is dissatisfied with the decision, they may appeal the case to the regional High Court. If there is still dissatisfaction, it is sometimes possible to take the matter to the Supreme Court, but this is only allowed under certain circumstances: where there is a Constitutional issue involved, where a particularly important law is involved, or where the decision goes against a Supreme Court precedent.
Administrative Cases
Before an action can be filed challenging governmental approval for a nuclear facility, an objection must be lodged within 60 days of the granting of that approval. The objection is lodged with the agency which granted the approval. If the objection is dismissed, or if it is not responded to within three months, it is possible to proceed with court action.
Major examples of administrative cases are listed in table 1.
Date lodged
Ikata-1
Rejected by Supreme Court
Annulment of license
Tokai II
Fukushima II-1
Rejected by Matsuyama District Court
Kashiwazaki-Kariwa-1
Rejected by Niigata District Court in 1994, currently being considered by Tokyo High Court
Monju Fast Breeder Reactor
Citizens' demand accepted by Nagoya High Court in 2003, currently being considered by the Supreme Court
Invalid approval
Rokkasho Uranium Enrichment Plant
Rejected by Aomori District Court in 2000, currently being considered by Sendai High Court
Rokkasho Low Level Waste Storage Facility
Currently being considered by Aomori District Court
Rokkasho High Level Waste Storage Facility
Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant
A glance at this table will reveal that these cases have all taken a long time. The longest one started way back in 1973 and reached a final conclusion in 2004. The Supreme Court has handed down a decision in only three cases and two of these decisions were handed down at the same time.
Unfortunately, not one of the above cases has resulted in a final victory for the citizens, although the Monju Fast Breeder Reactor case may prove to be the exception to the rule. However, the above Supreme Court decisions were extremely useful in the case against Monju. (In that case the Nagoya High Court ruled that the license was invalid - see discussion below). According to the Supreme Court, the approval is deemed to be illegal if, "in the light of current scientific and technological standards", the assessment standards are unreasonable, or if there are "flaws or blunders that cannot be overlooked" in the safety assessment process.
The reason why there was no appeal in the Ikata-2 case was, in the words of the group of petitioners who conducted the case, "because we don't expect a better judgment from the current judges". This was the only case in which citizens represented themselves without the aid of a lawyer. It is probably hard to imagine just how challenging this would be, but despite the difficulty of their task, they managed to extract a recognition that there were mistakes in part of the safety assessment.
The Monju case: the only citizen victory
The Monju decision did not 'annul' the license approval. The citizens were unable to demand this, because they had not lodged the abovementioned objection. Instead the decision 'invalidated' the approval. It is possible to sue to have the approval invalidated, even if an objection has not been lodged, but compared to annulment of the license approval the legal breach must be more serious.
The Monju case was initiated in 1985. It was simultaneously an administrative case, in which the government was accused of granting an invalid license approval, and also a civil case, in which residents demanded that the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC) (now Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute (JNC)) terminate construction and operation of the facility. The reason why two cases were brought simultaneously was that it was uncertain whether the accusers would be granted status to bring the case under the very strict conditions of an 'invalid license' case.
In fact, in 1987 the Fukui District Court dismissed the case on the grounds that they didn't have status. This was appealed to the Nagoya High Court, which accorded status only to those who lived within a 20 km radius of Monju. The citizens who were denied status in turn appealed to the Supreme Court, while the government appealed against the decision to grant status to people within 20 km. In 1992 the Supreme Court ruled that people living within a 60 km radius (i.e. all accusers) were eligible and returned the case to the full Fukui District Court. The Supreme Court ruled that these people were "people who live in an area which, in the event of a disaster etc. that could occur as a result of a blunder or flaw [in the safety assessment], would be expected to sustain direct and serious damage."
The Fukui District Court reconsidered their case and in 2000 ruled against them. The residents were dissatisfied with this ruling and appealed to the Nagoya High Court, which in 2003 ruled in their favor, invalidating the Monju license approval. The government then appealed to the Supreme Court and in December 2004 the Supreme Court decided that it would hear the case. The case is scheduled to begin in March 2005 (see News Watch).
In regard to the civil action, the Fukui District Court ruled against them in 2000, at the same time as it made its decision on the administrative case. The citizens group appealed, but when the High Court ruled in their favor on the administrative case, they withdrew their appeal.
Recently civil suits have been the main type of litigation involving nuclear power plants (bearing in mind that Rokkasho is not a power plant). This isn't necessarily because the people bringing the suit have failed to lodge an objection as required for administrative cases. Administrative cases can only be argued within the framework of the question "was the license approval legal?" There was even a case where the court found that the approval was legal, but went on to say, "The question of whether or not the nuclear power plant is actually safe or not is beside the point." One reason for the preference for civil cases is dissatisfaction with decisions such as this. There is sometimes also a desire to lock horns directly with the company constructing and operating the facility in question.
Major examples of civil cases are listed in table 2.
Onagawa-1,2
Termination of construction and operation
Monju
Withdrawn 2003
Rejected by Fukui District Court and appealed to the Nagoya High Court before being withdrawn
Tomari-1,2
Rejected by Sapporo District Court, no appeal
Shika-1
Termination of operation
Takahama-2
Rejected by Osaka High Court, no appeal
Shimane-1,2
Currently being considered by Matsue District Court
Currently being considered by Kanazawa District Court
Hamaoka-1-4
Currently being considered by Shizuoka District Court
The cases demanding the termination of operations each have their own peculiarities. The Fukushima II-3 case followed an accident involving a recirculation pump in 1989. It was an attempt to stop the company from recommencing operations while pieces of metal were left in the reactor and after having simply patched up the component. The Takahama action was an attempt to prevent reactor number 2 from being restarted after a routine inspection discovered problems in 46% of the pipes in the steam generator. The generator was subsequently replaced in its entirety. In the latter of these cases, despite rejecting the petitioners' challenge, the court warned of the danger of the pipes bursting. No appeal was lodged.
In the Tomari case, which demanded the termination of both construction and operation, the court suggested that the possibility of an accident couldn't be dismissed and that the problem of the disposal of radioactive waste was unresolved. In its verdict the court said, "Ending nuclear power generation is one available option." The petitioners concluded that they had extracted some significant admissions from the court and decided against launching an appeal. The Shimane suit is based upon the discovery of an active fault near the nuclear power plant. Similarly, the petitioners in the Hamaoka case are calling for the plant to cease operations because the plant is located on the predicted center of the next great Tokai earthquake.
There have been three compensation cases related to exposure to radiation (table 3).
Kazuyuki Iwasa
Damages for radiation exposure
JCO criticality accident
Being considered by Mito District Court
Damages for adverse effect on health
Mitsuaki Nagao
Being considered by Tokyo District Court
Workers' compensation claim accepted in 2004 (NIT 99)
Other than the cases discussed here, there have been many other civil cases involving nuclear facilities. Examples include a claim for access to information in regard to transport of nuclear fuel and claims over property rights at sites for proposed nuclear facilities.
There have also been many criminal cases, but they weren't specifically related to nuclear power, so they are not discussed here.
The courts are not insensitive to public opinion in the decisions they hand down. Looked at from that angle, one would expect citizens and residents to chalk up a few wins in future. We wait with bated breath for the Supreme Court's decision in the Monju case. If the High Court's decision is endorsed, the approval to build Monju will become invalid. (It will still be possible to reapply for a license, but it won't be possible to reopen the plant until that license is forthcoming.) However, even in those cases where the residents/citizens have lost, they have managed to extract masses of useful documents from the power companies and the government. We should also not forget that the court cases, via the mass media, have drawn attention to the issues and thus helped to shape public opinion to become more critical of nuclear energy.

IPS provides Conversations for its members and the wider mental health community. A variety of thought-provoking topics are explored in an open and collegial atmosphere.
Since the establishment of IPS, we have offered several Conversations each year. Our Conversations are an ideal way of exploring a psychotherapeutic idea with our members and the wider mental health community. Typically, a faculty member or candidate will introduce the Conversation topic by reflecting on a few therapeutic experiences. Our Conversations give us the opportunity to look at how these ideas can be applied to our clinical practices. Participants are encouraged to share clinical examples. Our goal reflects the philosophy of IPS, which is that we are all students who can learn from one another.

December 11, 2016: When the Political Becomes Personal: How a Psychoanalytic Understanding Can Help Our Clients Deal with the Polarized Post-Election Climate.
On Sunday, December 11, 2016, the Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies held a Conversation on the topic: When the Political Becomes Personal: How a Psychoanalytic Understanding Can Help Our Clients Deal with the Polarized Post-Election Climate.
The Institute decided to offer a free, open forum for therapists to discuss how this election has affected our work since many of our clients have experienced increased post-election anxiety and a variety of other strong reactions. Since therapists are on the front line of working with depression and anxiety and often work alone in private practice, IPS wanted to create a space for clinicians to share thoughts and experiences related to how the current climate was impacting them as well as their clients.
Our facilitator, Lisa Sokoloff, LCSW, led the discussion of how a lack of safety has been experienced by some clients as a result of the election, especially those that have experienced prior trauma in their lives, including women who have a history of sexual abuse, minorities who have faced discrimination or hate crimes and others who are frightened of how the new administration may impose restrictions on civil rights and women's right to choose.
The idea that a person's character would be a major factor in how someone reacts to different life events was explained as a basic tenet underlying all psychoanalytic treatment. The concept of the Third was mentioned, where the polarized position of opposites can expand to include a neutral space where differences can be explored in an atmosphere of acceptance and safety.
In addition, therapists shared how their countertransference came into play when working with clients who shared similar political points of view as well as different ones and how each played a part in shaping the transference/countertransference matrix.
The Conversation was well attended by a wide variety of clinicians and everyone participated, with differing views being explored.
The Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies together with New Jersey Society for Clinical Social Workers provided an open discussion on "The Complexities of Therapy with Clients who are Dealing with the Aging Process and Physical Illness" on November 13, 2016.
Our facilitator, Mosse Burns, L.C.S.W, introduced the program with two clinical cases that illustrated how aging can affect the client as well as the therapist in different ways. Aging can involve complex patterns of loss, including less independence, altered bodily functions, monetary concerns, loneliness and fear of illness and death. Therapists treat not only the older patient but they also treat the younger family members who often are the caretakers. Complexities arise for the therapist because of their own countertransference issues, i.e. how they might be dealing with their own aging process, and how they might be managing their own caretaking concerns.
The discussion was attended by an enthusiastic group of therapists, who discussed a wide spectrum of clinical experiences. The participants discussed many important issues, such as the limited time available for change, diverse cultural expectations, families burnt out by the aging client, characterological differences in idiosyncratic reactions to multiple losses, the experience of narcissistic injury for some women because of the loss of beauty, and the impact of a psychiatric diagnosis on elderly who are institutionalized and no longer able to live at home.
The discussion was animated and well attended.

According to the chief executive officer of Ryanair Michael O'Leary, the company has not yet made a final decision on this issue. First, the carrier wants to access the financial statements of Air Berlin. Ryanair is interested in, in particular, information on leasing, labor agreements of the German airline, as well as on the terms of contracts with airports. This is necessary in order to determine extent of the necessary restructuring.
Earlier, the leadership of Ryanair accused Air Berlin and the German authorities of collusion. The Irish budget air carrier sent a complaint to the European antimonopoly authority against the actions of the German government. The Irish airline is confident that there is a conspiracy between bankrupt Air Berlin and the authorities of Germany. The German Ministry of Economics denied these accusations.
The German government has decided to provide Air Berlin with a loan under the state guarantee for 150 million euros. Thus, the carrier can safely continue flights within three months. Ryanair believes that this was done with a sole purpose to save Air Berlin from the debts before the transfer to Lufthansa Air Concern.
In mid-August, Air Berlin launched a bankruptcy procedure. The German government, Lufthansa and other airline partners decided that this solution is ideal for business restructuring.
In addition to buying a stake in Air Berlin, Ryanair's management is also interested in Italian air carrier Alitalia, which is also bankrupt. The management of the largest Italian airline decided to start bankruptcy in early May, after Alitalia employees refused to approve the restructuring plan.
Ryanair's Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary also made a forecast for development of the aviation industry in the near future. In his opinion, there will be four or five aviation groups in five years in Europe. Among them are Ryanair, Lufthansa, Air France-KLM, British Airways and, probably, easyJet.
Earlier Ryanair sent a complaint to German and European antimonopoly agencies. The paper concerned a loan worth 150 million euros borrowed now-bankrupt Air Berlin under state guarantees.
"This artificially induced bankruptcy obviously serves only one purpose - so that Lufthansa can take over the debt-free airline, which obviously contradicts the German and European principles of free competition," Ryanair said. The Irish company called the deal involving Air Berlin, Lufthansa and German authorities "an obvious collusion."
The authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany consider these allegations to be groundless.
Such statements are ridiculous, since no one expects that Air Berlin will get only one airline, said State Secretary of the German Ministry of Economics Matthias Machnig. All interested players naturally have equal chances in the struggle for Air Berlin's legacy, he stressed.

CONEPO SERVIZI SCARL
Conepo Servizi is one the most important private company and operator of environmental services and transport, specialised in the field of special and non-special waste disposal activities, in Venice historical centre and mainland. Conepo Servizi is specialised in the management, take-away and transport for disposal and recycling of all types of waste produced by cruise ships and transport of goods parked in the port of Venice and Marghera (room and kitchen waste, cargo residues, similar to urban waste, recyclable, special, hazardous, oil, etc.), as the exclusive concessionaire for port environmental services. The very high qualification in the management of services to passenger and merchant ships makes it possible to intervene on a daily basis both by water and land to carry out the activities regulated by the Ordinances of the Venice Port Authority and the Venice Harbour Master's Office (Maritime Authority). It also has all the information on ships' arrival and departure in real time through the documental and authorisation workflow computer system provided by the port operators. It provides packaging, sacks, labels as well as advice and information for the most correct management of special waste, sending it to authorised and accredited collection centres. The management and disposal of waste in an area as fragile as the Venice Lagoon confronts the company with choices of responsibility and the urgency of environmental sustainability. With respect to this issue, CONEPO has launched a campaign – MAKE THE DIFFERECE – to raise awareness of environmental protection and responsible actions in terms of sustainability.
The experimental knowledge transfer intervention in brief
The main objective of the intervention was the digitalisation of the data collection of the waste collection service. Operating in the transport and waste sector, the company interest is to deepen the automation of document management, from initial data to invoicing, linking it to the service and traceability of the goods transported and / or stored. The company's activity consisted in recording on paper forms the quantities of waste taken from ships by Conepo vehicles in the performance of the normal service. In other words the operating personnel who, – by means of trucks, vans or boats – unload waste from ships, had to manually record on paper forms (called vouchers) the different types of waste, the cubic metres unloaded and other information relating to the ship, the agency, the charterer and the shipowner. These vouchers were then collected and delivered daily to the administrative office, which must copy the same data into the software for management control and administrative activity. The aim of the experimental in-company intervention has been therefore to develop an application that allows Conepo's staff to enter the information on waste services at the terminal and to use the information for all the company's needs without having to retype or import data. A further objective is to re-elaborate some of the information collected (duration of services, efficiency of operating personnel, …) in order to obtain information for the optimisation of the overall activity of this area of the company and, consequently, to identify further areas for improvement. Optimisation should also be seen from a green perspective, with objectives linked to fuel savings and reduction of emissions from waste recovery vehicles and also to the reduction of printed paper production. The outcome of the experimental intervention and of the process analysis led firstly to a flow chart presenting the application of 4.0 to the process and, consequently, to the development of the new flow that a software house should replicate through application. Secondly the experimental in-company intervention led to the development of a responsive web application that meets the identified company objectives. The application is divided into two main sections: the first, for use by the planning office, allows operational managers to plan the routes that the Conepo vehicles must take in order to carry out the waste collection service in the best possible way. The second, optimised for mobile devices, is instead for use by field operatives who have the task of recording the types and quantities of waste released by each ship. For the identification of the ships, cruise or merchant ships, present in the port, a procedure has been integrated that imports a data track from the Logis-PMIS system, the official environment of the port authorities and the Harbour Master's Office, containing all the information useful for planning and that previously was managed manually by the operational managers. The data entered by the operators are then directly made available to the administrative software for the related activities. The application has be also completed by the management of all the necessary master data (ships, berths, agencies, personnel, …) and a section with reports and data analysis.
Some feedbacks
The development of the data analysis has been carried out in constant collaboration with company staff, thanks to which some areas for improvement have been identified. The most important is the one related to the signing of the voucher. This is currently carried out manually by the ship's contact person but the objective is to implement electronic or digital signature systems to avoid the paper printing of the receipt and to digitalise this activity as well. The company is looking for funding opportunities to start further improvement projects in terms of Industry 4.0. An example of improvement area is the development of a real time localization system of the position of its vehicles on a map. According to the experts the company has shown a great propensity for developing knowledge for innovation, constantly and competently supporting the experts with internal resources. Thanks also to the product treated by the company – the waste, it has shown a particular sensitivity to energy saving, reduction of emissions and proper disposal of waste, including special ones.

Thaumatin Market Overview by Increasing Demand and Sales 2019 to 2026
Thaumatin is a low calorie sweetener derived from Katemfe fruit, also called 'the miraculous fruit of Sudan'.
freePRnow.com, 7/11/2019 - Thaumatin is a low calorie sweetener derived from Katemfe fruit, also called 'the miraculous fruit of Sudan'. These are extensively cultivated in the rainforests of West Africa. The fruit is made up of 1 to 3 black seeds surrounded by a gel, and enclosed within a membranous sac known as the aril, which contains the sweetener. Thaumatin is an odorless, water soluble protein which possesses high heat stability. The two main forms of protein present in the Katemfe plant are Thaumatin I and Thaumatin II. Though Thaumatin is 2000 times sweeter than sucrose, it is mainly used as a flavor enhancer rather than a sweetener and it does not contribute to major calories in the diet.
Have a fresh look with latest Trend and Outlook: https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/ongoing-insight/thaumatin-market-1454
Thaumatin is now being used in baked and savory foods, desserts, fruit juices, milk powder, soft drinks, chewing gums, and coffee products. It is generally mixed with other natural sweeteners such as Stevia in order to reduce its bitterness. Due to its licorice-like taste with delayed onset, other artificial sweeteners are preferred over Thaumatin. In the U.S., Thaumatin possesses GRAS status—it does not have approval as a sweetener but widely used as a flavor enhancer. European Food Safety Authority has approved Thaumatin as a sweetener.
The major drivers of the market are growing demand for low calorie dairy products and continuous research on application of thaumatin in other products such as toothpastes and other oral care products. The restraining factors are concentrated cultivation of thaumatin only in Africa and lack of consistency among food regulations globally. In Europe and Asia Pacific, thaumatin is classified as sweetener by the regulatory bodies, whereas FDA has permitted its use only as a flavor enhancer.
Global Thaumatin Market outlook:
Owing to growing demand for natural flavored food products and beverages, North America held the highest share by volume in global thaumatin market in 2016. In the U.S., thaumatin is widely accepted as a natural flavoring agent in Coffee drinks, refreshing drinks, yoghurts, chewing-gum, jams, and jellies, which is expected to fuel market growth

Why Hitler Came to Power in Early 1933?
One of the most debated questions even today in History is why Hitler came to power in early 1933? The main reasons why Hitler came to power are that he was a great speaker, he had a superior propaganda machine on his side, violent treatment of the opposition, the criticism of the Weimar Republic, Nazi economic policies and the support of big business. I will not investigate the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic, but rather of the strengths of the Nazi party. German and many foreign historians have written numerous books following the event. I will draw up a conclusion by analysis various secondary sources, which are available to me.
The Nazi Party had very effective propaganda, which was targeted at the average German (1). Poster and pamphlets could be seen in all German cities, criticizing the Weimar politicians, the Jews and the Treaty of Versailles for being the cause of Germany's problems (2).
The Nazis held huge rallies, which impressed people and showed their energy, enthusiasm and sheer size. Also the SA and SS gave an impression of discipline and order and many people welcomed the fact that they were prepared to fight against the Communists in street battles (3).
The Nazis greatest propaganda campaign was Hitler himself. His ability to speak well among large audiences allowed him to appear use film and radio to bring his message to the German people (4).
The Nazis shared a fear of Communism with many of the industrialists. Many large businesses supported Hitler and started putting money into their campaign funds (5). Many farmers had heard of the Soviet government taking over the land and killing millions of farmers.
The Nazi Party membership quadrupled from the early 1920s to 108,000 members in 1928.
The National Socialists received 810,000 votes, or 2.6% in May 1928, 6,409,600, or 18.3% in September 1930 and 13,745,800 or 37.4% in July 1932 and 11,737,000 or 33.1% in November 1932.
This book, mainly based on Hitler himself, was published in 2004 by HarperCollins Ltd. The author, Mary Fulbrook is a professor of German History at UCL and her main research interests include early modern Europe, Germany dictorships in the 20th Century and Europe after the Holocaust (6). The purpose of the book is to inform high school children about Hitler and to answer frequently asked questions about him as well as to make of course to make money. This source is very valuable because Mary Fulbrock is a historian, so she is in the position to know about Hitler and how he came to power. The company that published the book, HarperCollins, is a well-respected American printing company, which also makes the source valuable because it would only publish the best information on the topic. The book is also very valuable because it mainly uses secondary sources, so it takes into account many primary sources and draws a conclusion from them. The book also uses some primary sources, which e.g. show the mass hysteria at the time. The source also dates from 2004, meaning that many documents from East Germany and other Communist countries have become available and can be assessed. The limitations of the source are that although the book was only recently published, there still might be even newer sources, which might have only come out recently. Another limitation might be that the book is made to sell, so it presents its information in such a way that more people are interested in buying it. So it might have lots of colour photos and not much content. A third limitation is that the book focuses on Hitler and Germany at the time in general, so it does not specifically look his rise to power. A fourth limitation might be that the author is British and that she lived in a time when there was a lot of resentment towards the Germans. A final limitation is that the author of the book teaches Germany history from the medieval period to present day Germany. This means that she might know less on specifically Hitler's rise to power.
2. The Rise of Adolf Hitler by Annette Dufner, Dianiel Leone and Bonnie Szumski.
The main author and editor of the book, Annette Dufner is an author of children and young adult books. She has however written and helped write several history books about Germany (7). The book was published in 2003 by Greenhaven Press. The purpose of the book is to, unlike the first source specifically inform us about Hitler's rise to power. The book was also produced to sell. The sources can be considered to very valuable to us because it specifically talks about the rise of power of Hitler. This means that it only contains the information that we want. The source is also valuable because being a secondary source it takes into account many primary sources. The source is also reliable because it is recent, meaning that it can also take into account sources now available from Eastern Europe. The author/s are also from the US, meaning that they would probably would not resent the Germans as much as the British, French or especially the Russians. The limitations of the source are that it is not the most up to date book, meaning newer books have come out which might include newly available documents. Another limitation is that the author of the book does not seem to studied History or Germany History, but rather seems to a writer/editor of stories and novels.
In "The Rise of Adolf Hitler", Annette Dufner, strongly emphasizes that Hitler's oratory skills played a very significant role in his rise to power. Indeed Hitler was a very able speaker, who seemed to speak the very words that the crowds wanted to hear. He is often described as being the Messiah of Germany and it is said that during one of his speeches a group of foreign correspondents were so overcome by emotion that they to their feet and raise their arm in the Nazi salute (8). In order to be such a successful speaker, Hitler specially prepared his stage so that listeners would get the effect of feeling overwhelmed by supporters. He also preferred having his speeches at night because the emotional effect among the spectators would be far greater. Also, millions of people listen to Hitler's speeches on the radio. Thus, Hitler's oratory skills were very important in conveying their ideas to the people.
Another reason why the Nazis were able to come to power was because of Goebbels' propaganda machine. The Nazis produced numerous pamphlets, films and posters, which discriminated minorities. Many people that were disillusioned saw Hitler as the savior of Germany and the Nazis of course played on that by presenting Hitler as being godly. Nazi Party membership grew from around 25,000 in the mid-1920s to 2 million in 1933. This, the propaganda machine enable people the Nazis to play around with people's emotions and support them against those that had stabbed Germany in the back. This propaganda also allowed the Nazis to strong on the countryside where they were not very present.
A further strength and reason why the Nazis came to power in 1933 was because they were very well organized and they had a superior paramilitary army on their side, which was effectively used for propaganda and to stifle the meetings of enemy parties. The SS and the SA were very present in the streets of major cities and they stopped several 'Communist revolutions', as they were called. Even the local police helped these paramilitary organizations, especially against the communists. Another function that the SS and the SA had was that they could be used to break up the meetings of other parties and even to intimidate them. The people saw these organizations in the street and they brought the hope that there might be order again. Also many people like that there was order and discipline in the groups, which were considered old German values. The Nazis also displayed these men during their annual Nuremberg rallies and the membership of the SS and SA grew un- proportionally quickly just before Hitler's rise to power. In 1931, the SA expanded from 70,000 to 170,000 members and the SS exploded from 280 members in 1929 to 52,000 in 1933. Thus, the SS and SA did help the Nazis consolidate power as they defended the Nazis from other paramilitaries and they were used to impress people, however they cannot be considered the main strength of the Nazis that brought them to power because all of the other parties had armies as well.
A fourth strength that the Nazis, which helped to come to power was that they had the support of many large businesses. Initially Hitler's party wanted to nationalize all large firms and to destroy 'international capitalism', as it was called. After being criticized for this they dropped the idea and in 1927 Hitler published "The Road to Resurgence", which told industrialists that he supported private enterprises (9). Starting with Emil Kirdorf, the number of business leaders that supported the Nazis increased and Hitler even promised that he would suppress trade unions when he came to power. Hitler and his party received over 250,000 Reich mark in 1930-31 from Fritz Thyssen and over $20,000 from Emil Kirdorf (10). Thus the fear of many businessmen of the Social Democratic Party and of the Communist Party provided him with money, which financed his propaganda campaign and his speeches. A final strength of the Nazis was there ideas. The Nazis appealed to everyone, the starving lower class, and the middle class, which had lost its savings during the economic depression and even to industrialists that wanted lower taxes and banned trade unions. The Nazis organized soups for the unemployed and the starving (11). Many people also blamed the Weimar politicians, the Jews, the Communists and the Treaty of Versailles for Germany's problems and they agreed that something should be done about them. Others also liked the idea of having a strong and united German Army that would re-conquer territories stolen through the treaties that ended World War One.
To conclude it is sensible to say that there is no real major Nazi strength, only minor ones. The most important strengths were Hitler's oratory skills, the use of effective propaganda by Goebbels and the support big business. The reason for this is that Hitler skills brought confidence to the people and made them angry against the Jews and the other enemies. Using propaganda this effective was much more powerful on the German people as Hitler was displayed as the savior of Germany and the only possible hope. If it had not been for the businessmen, the Nazis would not have been able to finance their propaganda and speeches, which in turn brought more support. Thus it can be said that the rise of the Nazis was like a cycle, the money provided by the industrialists could be used for publicity and speeches, which in turn brought support and so even more money. However, the minor strengths of the Nazis must not be underestimated. Especially the SA and SS, which made sure that Nazi rallies were undisturbed and displayed discipline and power and Hitler's ideas, however most of which were similar in such radical right parties.

'Les Mis' crams a lot of plot and some stirring moments into 3 long hours
But longtime musical isn't easy to follow unless you study the plot
Charlie Patton
"Les Miserables," the lavish musical based on the Victor Hugo novel which is now playing at the Moran Theater, is among the most popular musicals of all time. It's been 32 years since it opened in Paris, 27 since it opened in London and 25 since it opened on Broadway and it is still drawing delighted audiences.
I'm not sure why. There's a lot to like about the show but there is also a good deal not to like.
At almost three hours, with a 90-minute first act, it's just way too long. And the plot, which spans 17 years and four locations in the first act alone, and includes 40 named characters, isn't easy to follow. That's why the program the Artist Series has prepared includes a synopsis of almost 700 words.
The musical's tone is also wildly inconsistent, with moments of fanny-wagging comedy mixed with tear-jerking melodrama. Near the end there's even a heavenly chorus of characters who haven't survived the evening.
On the other hand, sometimes the show can be breathtaking.
The first act ends with the stirring call to action, "One More Day," as the students prepare to take to the streets. The climactic second act scenes, when the student rebels man the barricades during the 1832 Paris Uprising, are quite impressive. Valjean's ballad "Bring Him Home," in which he asks that young Marius, the lover of Valjean's ward, Cosette, be spared the death that seems certain for those on the barricades, is deeply moving (and Peter Lockyer, who plays Valjean in this production, is a wonderful singer). Thanks to rear screen projection, the Paris sewers through which Valjean famously flees seem vividly real.
And tears will flow when the heavenly chorus gathers to welcome one last character to the afterlife. Just make sure you study that synopsis before the lights go down.

On 8th of July my cousin Barbara and I had a big birthday party in our garden. We both turned 22 years. Finally the photos have arrived. It was a very cool party with lots of beer :) and fine people. The photo on the left was taken from one of the roofs of the garden shed. Cheers!

Lawmakers, Stakeholders Debate Pot Legalization Impact on Youth
Some lawmakers and community members are concerned about the impact that marijuana legalization in Vermont might have on youth. | Photo: Miran Rijavec/Flickr
Emma Chaffee
UPDATE: Gov. Phil Scott vetoed the marijuana legalization bill at a press conference in Montpelier this afternoon.
Vermont legislators have passed a bill that if signed by Gov. Phil Scott will legalize marijuana. The legislation would take effect in July 2018.
The bill essentially says that those over 21 will be able to buy, sell and use marijuana.
Rep. Scott Beck, R-Caledonia-3, voted against the bill.
"It's just my belief that to do this responsibly there needs to be other pieces in there, including regulation, taxation, youth prevention, public safety, etc." Beck said. "You know, in my opinion, is the data there that people under the age of 21 are going to be more likely or less likely to use it? No, it's not there."
Beck is unsure whether Gov. Scott will sign the bill into law.
"He's maintained all along that there needs to be a public safety component to this. In the end here, if we've made our roads less safe, then that's not a good thing," Beck said.
Rep. Barbara Rachelson, D-Chittenden-6-6, voted in favor of the bill.
"In the states and the countries that have legalized, not only have the opiate deaths gone down, but the world hasn't ended," Rachelson said. "Our criminal justice system not only is expensive, but it ends up having lifelong ramifications for people. People that are not hurting anybody else."
Rachelson also feels that marijuana legalization is not a threat to children and teens.
"The children are at greater risk of getting into someone's unlocked gun, than they are into somebody's marijuana," Rachelson said.
Margo Austin is the substance abuse prevention counselor at BHS. She has worked in the field doing substance abuse prevention, crisis and mental health work for over 20 years.
"I'm very involved in the discussion about further liberalizing laws when it comes to marijuana. I've been involved not because it's my job, but because I feel that it's important. It's a game changer," Austin said. "It's super important for people to understand that the availability of drugs is what drives drug use."
Austin said that an altered perception of marijuana is one of the biggest problems people have.
"It is a psychoactive addictive drug, and should be looked at based on the merits of what it brings to the table in 2017, which is THC values which we've never seen before, which is the active chemical that gets a person high, and the ages (of kids) which are using it in a brain that's not developed until 25."
She is also wary about the commercialization of marijuana, which she thinks will follow legalization.
"I also don't have a lot of faith in industries that commercialize a psychoactive drug. The alcohol industry and the tobacco industry have made huge profits off people's addiction. And who pays for it? The taxpayers pay for it. Through addiction, crimes, car crashes, on and on and on."
Austin also said that prevention programs have basically disappeared over the past couple of years.
"We use to have 92 grants for my job in Vermont; we now have 20. So, unfortunately, prevention took a massive, massive hit in the last five to eight years," she said. "So I can't square again how you're going to further liberalize a law, when you don't even have the infrastructure for prevention in place."

In an emailed statement to The Register, Scott wrote about some of his apprehensions surrounding the legalization.
"Multiple aspects of this issue, and how they are addressed in the bill, are concerning to me, such as how we detect impairment on our roadways, implement substance abuse education, keep our children safe, and weigh how legalization will impact the mental health and substance abuse issues our communities are already facing," Scott wrote. "While I am not philosophically opposed, I feel it is crucial all questions are addressed."
Herb Perez, an assistant principal at Burlington High School, thinks legalization may result in some misconceptions.
"I think there's going to be some confusion from people. If young people believe that if it's legalized it must be safe, well, there are a lot chemicals that are legal to use, but they're extremely unsafe," he said.
Perez said that if marijuana is legalized, the school will continue to provide information and support for students.
"For the most part, we will need to continue to do what we're currently doing, which is to educate students through our health curriculum as well as other avenues where we are able to make sure that students are as aware as they possibly can be about the effects of marijuana, not only what it does physiologically to the organs, but also to their sensory motor skills and their ability to be able to commit short term to long term memory."
School Resource Officer Brian Difranco believes that legalization may make marijuana more accessible to BHS students.
"I don't think it will affect BHS students too much because the people that are going to be smoking marijuana are already smoking," he said. "I think it will only make it a little more accessible, and a little bit more normal because more families will be using it. It might increase in that way, thinking it's a norm and it's okay."
Tara Holaday, the leader of the Above the Influence substance prevention group, fears that legalization will lead to reduction in perception of harm, increased access and troubles with highway safety. She hopes that prevention efforts will increase if marijuana is legalized.
"We already have a very comprehensive program in health classes, but, I think we would step up our efforts if we could, because I think it would be needed," she said.
Sophomore Kayley Hays is a member of "You Matter," another one of Holaday's groups. Members focus on suicide prevention and creating a positive, happy community.
"You definitely want to be educated. If you're smoking marijuana now, you should still be informed of the cautions, and stuff like that," Hays said. "I think it's good safety and we should definitely have more information taught to us of the good stuff about it, and the cautions we need to take."
BHS English teacher Rob Bohn, on the other hand, guesses that legalization may make marijuana less accessible for teens.
"It seems from what I have noticed at U-32 (where his daughters attend school), all of these kids have it, and it's because it's illegal. It's easier to get than alcohol, it's easier to get than anything," Bohn said.

✅ Trip Verified | Seattle to Tokyo Narita. Not a good experience. Cabin crew were fantastic and graceful but the seat - one of the newer lay flat suites was clostrophobic with the divider up. Hate the Boeing 787 electronic window blinds because they do not get completely dark - on a flight heading west, they do not stop the sun shining into the cabin and heating it up. IFE was OK but not outstanding. Although the crew were great, the food (Japanese set ) was not fresh. The drink service was slow as well which for a flight that is not too long delayed food service and resulted in little time for sleep. Lounge in Seattle was really poor (The Club) and not up to biz class standards. Sakura lounge in NRT was not much better. All in all will not fly JAL again to Asia from West Coast.
Not Verified | Seven hours in economy can make for a long flight. This evening's JAL Boeing 787 from Tokyo to Bangkok could hardly have been bettered. The seats are comfortable, the always smiling FAs were charming and the IFE extensive enough to while away the flight. Narita is not my preferred airport out of Tokyo because of the long taxi to the runway. But the captain made up most of the delay. For an economy ticket I felt the most impressive aspect of the flight was the excellent F&B service. Indeed I would almost go as far as to call it superb. An extensive drinks offering was followed by one of the few delicious meals I have ever enjoyed in economy class. JAL has a policy of inviting six young chefs develop new and different recipes for economy passengers. My main course of braised beef in red wine sauce with penne pasta and a dash of cheese was quite excellent, the pasta being perfectly al dente. A salad and two different vegetable dishes were complemented by an almond jelly that must have had some additional ingredient for it, too, had excellent consistency and flavour. I only wished the portion had been double the size! Overall an excellent flight!
✅ Trip Verified | Tokyo to Taipei. First the flight was delayed at the gate after boarding for more than 45 minutes, taxi for another 30 minutes. So the plane was late leaving and late arriving in Taiwan. The food was so so, for business class, really it could have been better. Gate staff also were not well organized. It is surprising for Japan. The lack of signs at the airport gate area and the size of the gate area were terrible. Passengers did not know which lines to go to and business and first class passengers also had to fight through the crowd to board. The biggest problem with the flight was a screaming infant across the isle. Flight attendants did nothing. The parents and grandparents also did nothing. It was horrifying. People should not be traveling with infants, period, for any reason unless they are moving abroad! These were typical selfish parents who insist to travel with their family and could careless about other people. The flight was full and their kid was crying the whole time. Which means their kid was not comfortable. This selfishness has to stop, and airline staff and airlines need to address it instead of ignoring it. I paid good money for a business class seat, and yet I had to endure this nonsense the entire flight. I am sympathetic in most cases where a kid may act out for a short period of time, but this was ridiculous.
" 2 major flight delays"
✅ Trip Verified | Vancouver to Bangkok via Tokyo 2 weeks ago. First sign of trouble began when we started circling Narita and crew warned us there would be a delay in landing. This made me nervous as my connecting flight to Bangkok was in 1.5 hours. We circled for nearly an hour before the captain came on the intercom and said we were being redirected to Haneda Airport. No reason given, only apology for inconvenience. We landed and refueled, waited another 1.5 hours and took off again, landing at Narita 45 minutes later. No explanation given, just sorry for inconvenience. I ran into the airport, hoping that my connecting flight had waited for me, but it was to no avail. My connecting flight had already left. I had to wait in another line for 2.5 hours to get booked on the first morning flight to BKK, and JAL put me up in a Narita Hotel. I found out that the delay was caused because an earlier aircraft had run off the runway, causing the airport delay. Anyway, bad enough, get on with life. A week later I show up at the airport in Bangkok, and JAL ticket counter informs me my flight has been delayed by 3 hours. Oh hell, not again! Which of course means I cannot catch my connecting flight in Narita again. I ask the reason for the delay, they tell me it's maintenance issue. Wait for over an hour, and to JAL's credit they do book me a flight on EVA air in business class. Thumbs up for that. But to have 2 major flight delays by the same airline on same itinerary is pretty sad.
✅ Trip Verified | Jakarta to Vancouver via Narita. My wife and I flew this routing. The seats on plane (both segments on Boeing 787) from Jakarta to Narita we're far superior than seat from Narita to Vancouver. Cabin staff on both legs were all very friendly, very professional and deserve high marks. The inflight entertainment options were somewhat limited compared to other carriers. Headsets also not as comfortable as others (small headphones). The food was very good as was beverage selection. We'd both recommend JAL business class.
"Great airline, will fly again"
✅ Trip Verified | Lounge access with JAL premium economy experience is fab. 9am Sydney-Tokyo and Sydney Qantas Business lounge was excellent - barrister coffee and all cold and hot breakfast food was fresh . Boarding no hassles, FA's warm and friendly. Premium economy seats are best in class, loads of leg room and hard shell recliner, so no one leaning into you. FA's all smiles and each leg gave consistent, professional service, best experience I've had on that level. IFE so so, but enough to keep me going. Great drinks selection, including champagne - FA's happily kept it flowing. Food wasn't too bad, and loads of snacks like noodle pots. Transit in Tokyo, Narita to Haneda by Bus took only 80 minutes. Haneda lounge not too bad, could be better. Tokyo-/London flight solid repeat performance. Great airline, will fly again.
✅ Trip Verified | Tokyo Narita to Melbourne. The check in was easy. We were in the economy class and the seat was comfortable enough for 10 hours flight. The lavatory was quite big. The food/dinner was good too but for the second meal wasn't that nice/fulfilling. It was a 10 hours flight so the airline should consider giving sufficient meal for the passengers. The customer service was friendly.
✅ Trip Verified | Beijing to Tokyo. Very helpful land and cabin service. Food is comparatively good in the economy class. The aircraft isn't the newest 787-9 but still feel good and comfortable. Overall satisfied like other Japanese flights.
"never fly Japan Airlines again"
✅ Trip Verified | Okinawa to Tokyo. My daughter and I just took a mini vacation to Tokyo we flew on Japan airlines. After we arrived in Tokyo my daughter was informed that her dog was in the hospital and very sick. She tried with many different employees of Japan Airlines to change our flights to fly back earlier but they refused because she bought the tickets from Expedia. Well these two customers will never fly Japan Airlines again.

Initiative Drive to Decriminalize Cannabis in British Columbia Officially Launches
Activism News
Sensible B.C. officially launched its initiative drive to decriminalize cannabis possession today in British Columbia. The group now has 90 days to collect roughly 400,000 signatures to put the proposal to a vote of the people.
If passed into law, the initiative would decriminalize cannabis, as well as establish a commission to examine the effects of full legalization. The initiative would also alter laws for minors so that the possession of cannabis by someone under 18 is analogous to a minor in possession of alcohol.
In February a multi-million dollar lottery winner pledged to donate over $500,000 to the group in order to help them get the initiative passed into law. However, the group plans to rely heavily on volunteer power; "We now have about 1700 people signed up to help get signatures so far, which is a very solid foundation," states Dana Larsen, Director for Sensible B.C., "Plus people can still register to collect signatures over the coming weeks, so our ranks will continue to swell as we go along."
According to Larsen, voters strongly support their proposal; "Our polls show over 70% support across BC for our proposed legislation," he continues, "British Columbians overwhelmingly oppose police resources being wasted on pot smokers."
Those interested in getting involved, or finding out more about this effort should go to Sensible B.C.'s website by clicking here.

Looks like another city has been added to the list of cities facing stray dog issues, this time it's Vadodara. Apparently, a stray dog has been biting people away who are visiting the Surajdev Society in Manjalpur. This stray was witnessed in the society a couple of time earlier too. He became a bit too aggressive and the society people claim that the dog has bitten about 8-10 people already.
A complaint has already been lodged at the Vadodara Municipal Corporation last week. But Alas! No action has been taken as of now. Patel also added by saying that this particular stray dog also attacked a man on Monday, 10th October 2016. Thankfully, the society members reached on time and saved him from major injuries.
The Municipal Cooperation of Vadodara authorities have mentioned that the complaint has been forwarded to the concerned officials. This is an issue of health department and they will soon look into the situation.
Stray Dog attacks have become a common sight in south India. A lot of cases have been registered and numerous stray dogs have been killed illegally. However, the government will have to understand that killing the strays will never be an option. This massive issue can be solved by taking appropriate measures such as sterilization and neutering of the strays.
We hope an apt decision is taken soon.

Two-hundred and forty-four days have passed since the Clemson Tigers last took the field against Virginia Tech in the Toyota Gator Bowl. The excitement and anticipation building towards today's kickoff against UCF is running high for players, fans and coaches.
The person who just may be the most excited of all will be wearing orange in Death Valley for the first time since 1977. Quarterback Coach Mike O'Cain, Class of 1977, is in his first season back at his alma mater in more than two decades.
O'Cain, a native of Orangeburg, SC, made quite an impact during his time as a student-athlete in Tigertown. A four-year letterman, he was the most valuable player of the 1976 team, handling duties at both quarterback and punter. He completed 91 of 182 passes for 1,291 yards and six touchdowns during his career at Clemson. He still ranks 14th in Clemson history in passing efficiency.
After completing his eligibility, O'Cain spent the 1977 season as a graduate assistant for the Tigers. That year Clemson ended an 18-year bowl drought with an 8-4 record and an appearance in the Gator Bowl.
He then left Clemson to pursue a full-time coaching career with stops at The Citadel, Murray State, East Carolina, N.C. State and North Carolina. He served as the head coach for the Wolfpack from 1993 to 1999, taking the team to three bowl games. In 1993, he took the Pack to nine wins, still tied as the single season victory record in N.C. State history.
In an ironic twist, there is one player who O'Cain knew before his arrival. As Clemson quarterbacks coach he will be tutoring Heisman Trophy candidate Woodrow Dantzler. Dantzler, like O'Cain, is a native of Orangeburg and attended Orangeburg-Wilkinson High.
While O'Cain was adjusting to new coaches and players, he was also preparing for change of pace for he and his family. His wife Nancy and daughters Jenny (16) and Lizzi (14) stayed in Raleigh until school ended in late May.
Sanford Rogers worked in the Clemson Sports Information Office as a student assistant from 1990-93 and currently serves on the stat crew.
