The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the third installment in the "Witcher" series of role-playing video games designed by Polish developer CD Project Red, set to be released on May 19, 2015. The game is a highly-anticipated title, following the success of the original "Witcher" in 2007, and its sequel "Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings" released in 2011.
Witcher 3 continues the story of Geralt of Rivia, a prominent member of the witchers – an order of reclusive monster-slayers in a medieval fantasy world. Similar to other recent RPG releases like Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will feature an expansive open-world environment, reportedly 20% larger than the world of Skyrim.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features a massive open world much akin to 'Skyrim'
The plot of Witcher 3 picks up immediately after the events of the second game. Geralt finds himself in the midst of a multi-faceted conflict. On the one hand, the aggressive Nilfgaardian Empire is attacking the Northern Kingdoms, following their successful destabilization of the region. On the other, the Wild Hunt – a mysterious group of mounted, otherworldly specters – return to wreak death and havoc on the world of men. Most importantly, Geralt must prevent the Hunt from capturing Ciri, an ashen-haired girl at the center of a prophecy, who also happens to be Geralt's former apprentice.
Meanwhile, having finally regained his memory, Geralt is also attempting to reunite with the sorceress Yennefer, his original love who was kidnapped by the Wild Hunt years ago. Visibly old and tired, in a world full of danger and uncertainly, Geralt will have to fall back on his witcher instincts and experience to bring peace back to his world. Click here for more information on the story.
The story of the Witcher 3 will revolve around two key groups – the Nilfgaard Empire (left) and the mysterious Wild Hunt (right).
Although the gameplay of Witcher 3 continues on in the spirit of its predecessors, developers have focused on vastly improving the combat system to make it more exciting, action-oriented, and skill-based. Examples of new mechanics include: fighting from horseback, witcher-sense, fighting at sea, being able to jump and climb over obstacles, and even fire a crossbow. Another major change is the ability to fully explore an open-world environment, on foot, horseback, and through the use of fast-travel.
Meanwhile, the crafting, alchemy, and witcher magic systems make a return in Witcher 3, and players will once again be able to use both of Geralt's signature weapons – his steel sword for human enemies, and silver for monsters. Players will also have access to a massive skill tree with lots of choice on how to build your character.

Highly-praised for its storytelling and freedom of choice, Witcher 3 will give players plenty of morally-ambiguous decisions to make, all of which will have very visible effects on the game world. Players will be able to progress through the game in a multitude of different ways, to shape the story in their own unique fashion. Developers have also stated that the game will take roughly 100 hours to complete, with half of that time taken up by side quests.
Lastly, the game will also feature a secondary playable character for the first time in the Witcher series. Players will be able to play some parts of the game as Ciri, Geralt's adopted daughter and witcher-in-training.

L'archipel des Sulcis (en italien Arcipelago del Sulcis ou Sulcitano) se trouve à peu de distance de la côte de la Sardaigne, au sud-ouest, face à la province du Sud-Sardaigne, à laquelle le territoire de ces îles est rattaché. La superficie de l'archipel est de .

Dans certaines zones de ces îles on parle un dialecte, le  tabarquin, reconnu comme une langue minoritaire par la législation régionale sarde.

Il s'agit d'une communauté d'environ 300 familles d'origine ligure, partie de Pegli, qui avait été installée au  sur l'île tunisienne de Tabarka, d'où elle fut chassée militairement par le bey de Tunis en 1741, et qui se réfugia sur les îles de Sulcis, où elle fonda les villes de Carloforte sur San Pietro et Calasetta sur celle de Sant'Antioco.

Géographie
Font partie de l'archipel deux îles principales : l'île Sant'Antioco () et l'île San Pietro (). Appartiennent en outre à l'archipel des Sulcis quelques petites îles, parmi lesquelles une seule est habitée, l'île Piana (), les autres étant l'Isola il Toro, l'Isola la Vacca, l'isola del Corno et l'isola dei Ratti.

WOODGREEN COMMUNITY SHOP
Suppliers' Map
Year 1: 2007
The New Shop
Schools Resource Pack
Christmas Hamper Workshop
Halloween Workshop
Woodgreen began to grow into a village with goods and services for the local community in the nineteenth century. By 1841 there were three bakers, a butcher, and a grocer in the village. Ten years later, there was a baker but no grocer is mentioned. By 1871 there was once again a grocer. It is unclear where any grocery store was located.
Nearby Breamore Mill produced flour, initially for bread, but before it closed it produced grain for cattle feed. Eels were caught there too, as well as in the ditches along Hale Road. Coal could be bought from Mr Harrington, who had a coal-yard half way up The Hill, behind the Village Hall. He delivered both coal and grain from the Mill by lorry, and employed one other person.
The story of Woodgreen village shop has been one of change and survival. The old village shop and Post Office was built as an extension to a 17th century thatched cottage in the first years of the Twentieth Century. Certainly by 1907 there was a postmaster, Stephen Marlow in post.
He is recorded as having been there until about 1920.
By 1924 Woodgreen Post Office was being run by a Mrs Noyce from the front room of her house, now Meadow Cottage in the High Street.
Woodgreen Post Office circa 1924
The Post Office and shop subsequently moved to The Old Post Office House in the High Street, (now a private dwelling) where there were also two petrol pumps with wind-up handles, and a substantial grocery store, with living accommodation. There was also a bread round and, for a while, a taxi service.
The Old Post Office in the High Street
At that time, the village shop sold second hand furniture. When the Old Post Office and shop closed, the Post Office was given a small space back in the premises in which it had originally been housed, with Audrey Chitty as postmistress. Other goods were gradually introduced and eventually displaced the furniture to become the village shop as it was until 2011. Many villagers, including Sue Miller and Barbara Cunningham (who also ran the shop with her husband Roger until the Woodgreen Community Association took over in January 2007), have worked in the shop in its different locations and throughout changes of ownership. In addition, there was a garden shop attached to the Hale Nurseries.
Further along the High Street was a butcher's shop. The last owners of this business before it closed in 1986 were Jim and Jenny Hart. As can be seen below, they also sold groceries.

Bottom left: Christopher Hart delivering groceries; Bottom right: Jim Hart outside his shop
The loss of village retail outlets is therefore not a new phenomenon in Woodgreen, but certainly an accelerated one. Village retail outlets have become more difficult to sustain in part because of easy access to nearby towns and supermarkets. For Woodgreen, as with most villages that still have them, the Post Office and shop are an important and, for some people, a vital resource. The shop is a meeting place, communication centre and an important lynch-pin of village life.
This issue became an important part of our questionnaire when the business once again became threatened with closure in 2006. It became evident that the Shop and Post Office would only continue if the lease was acquired by the community.
In November 2006, a well-attended public meeting endorsed the idea of setting up a Community Association to take over the ownership and running of the shop. The village pulled together, with shares, donations and practical help, and by the deadline of 31st December 2006 everything was in place, and the Shop and Post Office was taken over by the Woodgreen Community Shop Association Ltd. on a five-year maximum lease.

Only just seen this question. The old shop has been demolished and the original house renovated with a porch to the front door and an extra room at the side. It is now a very attractive house and the new shop is doing well.
Philip Worth says:
My parents Eileen and Douglas Worth ran the village shop and post office in the village in the 1980's . They would have proud of what you have achieved. Has the old shop been turned back into part of the old house?

We all know that innovation is critical for any business to achieve sustainability. And it becomes all the more important when we talk of it in the context of email marketing. Why? Because while conversing over an email you are communicating with a million customers who you don't know on a personal basis; because they haven't met you personally either; because monotony will eventually bore them to the extent that they'll stop responding to your future email!
With so much social media noise, the attention span of an email recipient has dropped below 15 seconds. To add to it, a user's average relation with a brand over email is not more than 3-4 months. Customers are always on the lookout for something new; and therein lies the key to keeping them engaged.
These emails prompt the recipient to engage in a 2-way communication. Popular email services such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo consider recipient interaction to be the highest form of engagement, which in turn improves your domain reputation. Also, while the recipient is replying, your sender id gets added to their address book increasing the probability of your future email landing in their primary inbox.
Researches have proven time and again that videos definitely score above text. They also help you convey your story in a much fun and short way. 80% of recipients spend more time on email with an embedded video and as many as 90% of them say that a video proves to be more helpful when it comes to the final decision making process.
While it might make your email slightly heavier, it does put life into the otherwise silent text, delighting your recipients. All popular email clients support animation, which can also prove as a means of displaying multiple views of your products, or a more insightful perception of your services.
Take your customers through a journey. Announce a contest and entice your recipients with short stories. Stretch the series of mailers to 3-4, do inform your recipients well in advance. Assure them of a reward at the end if they get the answer right. This method will not only ensure that your recipients stay hooked on to your email messages, but also that they spread the word of mouth, adding up to your contact database. Alternatively, you may also share your brand's story of a CSR activity instead of a contest.

From A World To Win News Service
The U.S.-Iran nuclear deal: "The U.S. needs Iran's help in the Middle East"
August 3, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
27 July 2015. A World to Win News Service. Following are excerpts from an article that appeared in Issue No. 72 of Haghighat, organ of the Communist Party of Iran (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist).
There is no doubt that the nuclear deal between six world powers and Iran is an important event in the history of imperialist diplomacy. Both sides called it "diplomatic victory" because they achieved their foreign policy aims through negotiations and without war. But this "diplomacy" has its bloody, violent history in the region.
It has been made possible through more than a decade of wars of aggression by the USA and its Western allies in the Middle East, the breakdown of civil society in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, and the U.S.'s expansion into new areas, with new wars and horrible massacres, some carried out with the participation of the Islamic Republic of Iran [IRI]. The results include the displacement of millions of people, the destruction of ecosystems and local economies, the emergence of Islamic warlords, the rise in human trafficking and literally countless crimes.
This diplomatic deal has become possible because of economic sanctions for which the Iranian people paid the price, not the political and financial centres of the Islamic Republic of Iran that have become rich and richer because of them. Of course, this deal cannot and does not seek to end these horrors. It is just a new chapter in the crimes by the imperialist powers and the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region.
In fact, U.S. imperialism has relinquished its goal of bringing about "regime change" in Iran by war and has moved Iran from its list of "enemies" to its "competitor" list. Obama likened this change of approach to Nixon's 1972 visit to China and Reagan's negotiations with the Soviet Union in 1986. The Islamic Republic of Iran has taken a step back in its international and internal campaign against the U.S. and therefore has abandoned one of the pillars of its ideological identity. The regime's long-term goal with this shift is to become a regional power with the support of the U.S. and other big powers. U.S. imperialism is trying to bring relative order to the chaos in the Middle East, and it is hoping that IRI will help them out.
The necessities and contradictions pushing Iran to normalize relations with the U.S.
All these negotiations and the nuclear agreement, and, in general, the new chapter in relations between the Islamic Republic and the imperialist powers, particularly the U.S., are in response to a set of contradictions and necessities faced by the IRI leaders and the servants of the system. But just because it is born of necessities does not mean it will necessarily succeed. The possibility of its collapse is already perceptible. The whole process of reaching an agreement could come to a dead end under pressure from opposition in the U.S. and Israel and Saudi Arabia. With this introduction, we can examine the necessities that have pushed both sides, in particular Iran, to adopt this policy.
First: Under the IRI, Iran's capitalist economy has stalled, creating a huge number of unemployed youth, a massive population of temporary workers and a shrinking of the middle class. Economic sanctions have only intensified this situation, which is the IRI's most dangerous domestic political problem. The emergence of this huge population of unemployed, educated youth and the entrance of women into economic, social and educational areas has generated a great energy that the IRI can't control. The regime has reacted to these dangers and contradictions with the bloody suppression of the lower strata of society. This can be seen in the high rate of executions of poor youth, the suppression of intellectuals and women and the spread of fear among the middle classes. But no state can govern and keep a society under its rule just by ideological brainwashing and suppression.
Therefore, the IRI needs to resolve this contradiction. Since the functioning of Iran's economic system depends on world capitalism, the regime's only solution is the injection of more international capital into the economy. In fact, the purpose of the economic sanctions by the imperialist powers, which dominate the global economy and its institutions, was to bring the IRI to its knees in the political arena.
Second: The composition of the capitalist class has changed in Iran as a result of the growth of capitalist relations, even compared to 20 years ago. It has developed different layers and powerful economic centres with various circuits of production and global relations. As Iran becomes more integrated into global capitalism, different layers of the Iranian bourgeoisie have formed whose orbit of capital accumulation lies not just within Iran but also has an international dimension.
In addition to power centres such as Sepah Pasdaran (the Revolutionary Guards), various ministries, elites and various regime foundations, others have become powerful through their international relations and partnerships with Iranian investors in North America and Europe. All of them exercise political influence at various levels by different means and benefit from a kind of political rent that allows them to become bigger. But obtaining rent is not enough for this type of Iranian bourgeoisie to develop and compete in the global market. They are seeking to become "normal" investors and connect to the global market legally and openly. A very important part of their interests depends on the nuclear deal and the lifting of financial, oil and banking sanctions.
Currently the foreign and neo-liberal economic policies of President Rouhani and his state technocrats represent the common interests of different layers of big investors. Part of the big capitalists (and the technocrats dependent on them) don't like the theocratic regime ruling Iran, but this doesn't mean they are against Iran's leader, Ali Khamenei, or Sepah and the IRI's other security and military forces. They worry about serious demography changes in Iranian society and are aware of the need to apply a "moderate" version of Sharia law, particularly in the case of women and youth.
Because the conditions produced by the neo-liberal globalized economy increase the centrifugal forces that cause social disintegrations, they consider Sharia and Islamisation necessary for the social stability needed for the profitable operations of capitalism and the creation of an obedient labour force. They also need the "leader" for unifying the government/state and the regime's different wings. Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif referred constantly to the leader and carefully observed the rituals of Ramadan during his team's stay in Vienna. This was not only to appease the anger and complaints of "fundamentalist" forces about the negotiations with the "Great Satan" and what they considered the abandonment of one of the IRI's ideological pillars. It is also because Zarif and the rest actually deeply believe in the regime's values, norms and ideology.
Third: The insecurity in the troubled Middle East was another necessity that convinced the IRI's different wings that to build a "secure region", it is essential to establish official relations and cooperation with the imperialist U.S. Rouhani expressed this concern when he spoke to the UN General Assembly after the presidential elections in Iran.
In today's conditions, when U.S. imperialist hegemony has declined and no other big power is ready to replace it in protecting the global order, the IRI has to accept U.S. leadership in providing regional security. The Islamic Republic of Iran does not feel threatened by Daesh (also known as ISIS) alone. Because other countries in the region like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt don't obey the U.S., and the Iranian regime cannot confront them alone, it has to rely on the U.S. The IRI not only wants the U.S. to stay in the Middle East, it also believes that its regional security is dependent on the U.S.'s ability to impose some order amidst the increasing chaos.
The regime's strategic allies in the region, like Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia forces in Iraq, are under pressure and face dangers. The increasing number of casualties among the Quds Force (a special forces unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards responsible for their extraterritorial operations), Hezbollah and other IRI supporters, and the emergence of Daesh and other Salafist forces threaten Iran's position as well. In this situation, the IRI urgently needs to find a solution, even if that solution means uniting openly with "Great Satan."
Will the IRI be able to meet its internal and external security needs with this solution?
The Iranian regime faces three important international obstacles on the road to the normalization of relations with the West.
First, an important part of the U.S. ruling class, including a majority of Republicans, refuses to officially recognize the Islamic Republic of Iran and continues to see it as a serious anti-U.S. force. Israel is closely allied with the Republicans in opposing the deal and considers the existence of the IRI disruptive to its security. It refers to the tens of thousands of missiles that Iran has given the Syrian army, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Second, some Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia see Iran as their enemy and a threat to their security. They argue that Iran's military, political and propaganda activities in Iraq, Syria, Bahrain and Yemen are against their interests. Currently U.S. military companies are arming Israel and Saudi Arabia to increase their defences against any Iranian threat. The White House promised Saudi Arabia that it would strengthen its capabilities and put pressure on Iran to not create chaos in the region (i.e., Iran's aid to Hezbollah, [Syria's] Bashar al-Assad, the Iraqi government and the Houthis [in Yemen].
Third, Iran has been too close to Russia, from the U.S. perspective. In fact, until late into Ahmadinejad's presidency, the IRI termed itself part of an "Axis of Resistance"—including Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and Venezuela—against the U.S. interests in the Middle East and other parts of the world. So, the U.S. considers it important to break the link between Iran and Russia.
Obama will probably succeed in overcoming the Israeli and Saudi "lobby" and American legislators' efforts to sabotage this deal. Then he will pressure Iran to become an "acceptable" and "honourable" member of the Middle Eastern security structure under U.S. hegemony, in cooperation with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and even Israel. Undoubtedly, in this process there will be increased conflicts inside the IRI ruling class. Competition with other imperialist powers, like China, Russia and Europe, will intensify as they seek to expand their own influence in the Middle East and Iran. In any case, the wars in the Middle East—wars in which the IRI's armed forces have played an important role—will expand.
No doubt the release of Iran's foreign currency reserves and the lifting of economic sanctions will bring some prosperity in foreign trade (import and export) and infrastructure projects, the strengthening of the stock market and even the re-establishment of foreign auto factories and oil drilling companies, but in general Iran's economy will not produce much job creation. The IRI has to spend a large part of its oil revenues on expanding its military power, because the region will become even more militarized. Since insecurity in the region will continue, foreign capital will flow to Iran but investments will tend to be temporary and concentrated in financial fields and sectors of short-term profitability. Future economic development will probably provide few jobs for the vast majority of unemployed young people, leaving the misery of marginal existence and slums unchanged. The greatest potential force for economic development is the millions of young and old labouring people in society. With or without sanctions, the functioning of the economic system under the IRI has wasted this potential. The lifting of sanctions will not change the logic of the economic system; rather, its working will be even more brutal.
Maintaining coherence and internal unity is one of the most serious challenges that Iran's ruling class will confront. The greatest contradictions and conflicts within the government flow from this issue—how to maintain the unity of their elite and the regime's legitimacy and internal stability, rather than the deal in and of itself. Even though the regime tries to convince its internal supporters that it is not establishing official relations with the U.S. from a position of weakness, and that the deal meets the regime's interests in confronting Daesh and Saudi Arabia, various internal and external contradictions could make the deal's benefits very short-lived. The IRI could find itself stuck in the quagmire of Middle Eastern wars, facing a legitimacy crisis, despair and depression among its supporters and Hezbollah, and increasing conflicts within the ruling class itself.
The necessities that led the U.S. to establish relations with the IRI
The project of "regime change" in Iran that President George W. Bush followed was put aside when Obama became president, but military attack stayed "on the table" as an option. This change in the policy was related to imperialism's situation in the world. In 2013, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a leading Democratic Party foreign policy theoretician over the last decades, warned that the U.S. could no longer be world's policeman and that no other power could take its place. He analysed that the U.S.'s loss of power will negatively affect all world powers and its most likely outcome would not be an event like the rise of China, but a long period of chaos and a race for forging unities among world and regional powers. "Most probable would be a protected phase of rather inconclusive and somewhat chaotic realignments of both global and regional power, with no grand winners and many more losers." (Zbigniew Brzezinski, Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power, Basic Books, 2013)
Brzezinski mentioned several factors in the decline of U.S. global power: economic problems, political problems and a wrong foreign policy in starting unnecessary and costly wars in Iraq. He added that the crisis became more noticeable with "the emergence of a volatile phenomenon: the worldwide political awakening of populations until recently politically passive or repressed." In this context, he and other colleagues suggested to Obama that the state stop trying to bring "regime change" to Iran and instead open Iran's doors through diplomacy. The situation that Brzezinski explained at that time has become more serious. A Democratic senator described the U.S. situation in Iraq with these words: "If 100,000 U.S. soldiers in a ten-year period were not able to train an army that wouldn't escape in the face of Daesh, what do we expect of a few thousand? We don't have any effective force aside from our Kurdish allies." (Brookings Debate, "The question at hand: Should the U.S. put boots on the ground to fight ISIS," 24 June 2015)
According to a U.S. foreign policy expert writing about a nuclear deal with Iran, "Even here, the real questions are not those about regional proliferation which has dominated discussion of this matter to date, but about the civil and proxy wars currently roiling the Middle East, and the likely role of the United States in the region after a nuclear accord with Iran. It is those issues that are likely to determine whether a nuclear deal with Iran leads to greater stability or greater instability in the Middle East, and thus whether it ultimately benefits or undermines American national security." (Kenneth M. Pollack, "Regional implications of a nuclear agreement with Iran," Brookings Institute, 9 July 2015)
The necessities drawing other world powers into this deal
In an interview with Thomas Friedman, Obama expressed amazement at the "positive role" played by Russia in the nuclear talks. (New York Times, 5 April 2015). But in fact that is not surprising because Russia and other world powers also have to deal with the increasing chaos in the Middle East and need the establishment of relative order. The leap in global chaos has taken Russia by surprise, and in this context, its weakness as a big imperialist power has become more clear. Especially, its strategic plan to establish alliances with European powers fell apart during the war in Ukraine. In analysing Russia's situation, the author of Russia and the Shifting Global Order writes: "We have seen a decline not just of the United States, in relative terms, but I would argue a decline of all the great powers, with the partial exception of China. Their capacity to lead is much diminished, and even the weakest of states has an unprecedented freedom of manoeuvre.... People talk about the end of leadership, or the decline of U.S. leadership, but in a sense the problem is a broader one. We're seeing the end of followership; no one wants to obey, no one wants to follow, everyone wants to do their own thing... Now we tend to think naturally that this means the end of Western liberal universalism. But it also has strong implications for Russia." (Bono Lo, Russia and the Shifting Global Order, Chatham House, 8 July 2015)
This is the situation for the world's powers. Despite serious competition between these exploiters of the world's seven billion human beings, and under conditions in which no power can supplant the U.S. as a global cop, all the powers have given this place again to the U.S. The fact that the world's superpower is now looking for an ally in the Islamic Republic of Iran to create a new security structure in the Middle East shows how deeply the international capitalist-imperialist system is in crisis.
The world powers look at the nuclear deal as a step toward establishing a new order in the globe's stormiest region. But where there is a will, there is not always a way. George W. Bush's map of a "Greater Middle East" drowned in the bloody quagmire produced by U.S. wars in the Middle East, and now from this quagmire, Daesh types and proxy wars have emerged. The "Obama doctrine" will expand this quagmire—it will be the same situation even if there are new players. This is the big picture framing the main aims of the nuclear deal.
Iran's theocratic regime is under attack from all sides. Those powers that are going to help this regime are themselves crisis-ridden and their ranks are in chaos. This comprehensive crisis of the enemies is an opportunity for the oppressed to make a revolution. Overthrowing the Islamic Republic of Iran and replacing it with a qualitatively different state and society is not only necessary but also possible. We should launch a movement for revolution among the workers and the unemployed in the country, including Afghans, Kurds, Turks, Persians, Baluchs, Arabs and Turkmen. We should fight united under the flag of proletarian internationalism to emancipate not only people in Iran but also the proletariat and the peoples of the Middle East and all humanity from the system of capitalist exploitation and oppression.

May 1, 2019 ~ The Book Habit
It's no secret that I love a good adaptation. I spent much of my teenage years on the verge of an incredibly unhealthy obsession with Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr. Darcy (who am I kidding? It was sufficiently extreme that I performed a pilgrimage to the lake from his infamous diving scene). While I've yet to honestly encounter an adaptation so expertly rendered as to make reading the novel redundant, there are some truly wonderful efforts to visualise classic fiction via the big screen. In many respects, classic literature serves as some of the easiest source material available to directors, producers, and screenwriters. Our own historical distance from the narrative makes accuracy a little more superfluous to purpose and gives a much wider space for creative interpretation of the text. Line up adaptations of works like The Great Gatsby or Wuthering Heights and you'll experience very different visions of the same novel. This can make the experience of watching classic novel adaptations more exciting – because you never quite know what you'll get – but it can also diminish the nuances and details that made the original novel so significant.
As a committed student of the adaptation, I've put together a list of my favourite 8 adaptations of classic novels (including one play that I decided to sneak in). Feel free to disagree or add your own recommendations in the comments below (because I'm always looking for more to watch!) and be prepared to see the BBC feature quite heavily in this post!
Jane Eyre (2006, BBC, 240 mins)
Oh the many ways in which I love Jane Eyre. It's still a surprise to me that one of my favourite novels – a book that I've read more times than I can count – would also be the basis for my favourite adaptation. Just proving that the BBC can do no wrong when it comes to adapting classic literature. Not only is this adaptation of Jane Eyre one of the most faithful to the original source material, the casting is absolute perfection. Ruth Wilson (of Luther fame) nails the character of Jane in just about every respect, as does Toby Stephens as Mr. Rochester. If you haven't seen it, I cannot possibly recommend a more evocative and beautiful adaptation to binge-watch on a rainy day.
Pride and Prejudice (1995, BBC, 327 mins)
Was there any question that the BBC's Pride and Prejudice would feature on this list? The adaptation that originally got me into both adaptations and classic literature in general, my love for this miniseries is still going strong, many years later. At this point, it is no surprise that the BBC achieves remarkably appropriate casting in all of its adaptations but, as with its televisation of Jane Eyre, its version of Pride and Prejudice should be an exemplar to anyone working on future adaptations. The settings are utterly perfect (so perfect, in fact, that I've visited all but one of the places used in the series) and nothing about this series falls flat to the original work. What the BBC achieves here is pure magic.
Great Expectations (2011, BBC, 180 mins)
I did promise that there would be a whole lot of BBC featured here but that is because there is, quite genuinely, no better producer of classic novel adaptations. Televisations will always have the advantage of time, with the ability to spread the story across as many episodes as necessary to the faithful translation of a novel. Beyond this, however, there is undoubtedly something far more raw and tone-appropriate in BBC adaptations – a depth that Hollywood, with its insistent shine and disregard for the physical distinction of character attributes, almost always lacks. In the case of the BBC's adaptation of Great Expectations, the mood of the series is truly what sells it. The dark, creepy perfection achieved – assisted by an incredible portrayal of Miss Havisham by the always astounding Gillian Anderson – is masterful. I adore the gothicism of Dickens' work and the series mirrors the novel's tone perfectly.
The 39 Steps (1935, Gaumont-British, 86 mins)
One of my favourite film adaptations – for those of you without four hours to devote to a TV series – Alfred Hitchcock's version of The 39 Steps is utter magnificence. Based on John Buchan's novel of the same name (a novel that is well worth a read, by the way), there is perhaps no director more perfectly suited to adapting a novel of such incredible humour and mystery. Orson Welles described the film as a "masterpiece" and he's not far off. Robert Donat's portrayal of Richard Hannay captures the script's wry comedy and helps to make The 39 Steps one of the smartest spy stories adapted in the 20th century. Although Hitchcock has taken licence with some of the novel's elements, it is a worthy and incredibly entertaining adaptation – and certainly one that deserves far wider recognition as a true classic.
Sense and Sensibility (1995, Colombia, 136 mins)
The 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility is a great example of the ways in which filmmakers are forced to take liberties with the source material in order to translate the story to the limited space provided by a two hour film. This adaptation – authored by Emma Thompson, one of the film's stars – makes a number of adjustments to Jane Austen's original novel, with a view to both cutting down the content and making the differences between the story's two main characters (the sisters Elinor and Marianne) all the more dramatic. Despite these discrepancies, the film is a gorgeous version of a novel with so many dimensions as to make adapting the work a true challenge. Alan Rickman's Colonel Brandon is a significant departure from the actor's traditional casting as the more malevolent Severus Snapes of the Hollywood universe, and is a role in which Rickman masterfully captures Brandon's extraordinary kindness and patience.
Father Brown (2013-current, BBC, 45-50 mins per episode)
I only recently started watching the BBC's adaptation of G.K. Chesterton's short stories, which is now in its seventh series. With the wonderful Mark Williams portraying the show's eponymous hero, the series follows the Catholic crime-solving priest, Father Brown, as he helps to uncover the perpetrators of various murder cases taking place in the local area. Breezing past the fact that the whole of Britain surely lacks a sufficient population to sustain so many murders, Father Brown is a beautifully light and entertaining adaptation of Chesterton's relatively unknown work. Set in the 1950s, I particularly enjoy the critical eye with which the series looks at the consequences of World War II and the complicated psychological impact that so much loss has taken on a community.
The Importance of Being Earnest (2002, Miramax Films, 97 mins)
I confessed that I had snuck in a play but I felt compelled to do so on the basis that this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favourite films full stop. I distinctly remember a period of about a year in which I watched the film on an almost daily basis – to this day, I can still quote the entire script verbatim. I'm a massive fan of Oscar Wilde's work, particularly his lesser known play An Ideal Husband. It's the case, therefore, that I set the bar pretty high when it comes to adaptations of his plays. The 2002 version of The Importance of Being Earnest is one of the best interpretations of Wilde's work that I've seen yet. Rupert Everett and Colin Firth are endlessly charming in their roles as Algy and Jack, and the film's setting is divine. I am also quite sure that the character of Lady Bracknell was written by Wilde for Judy Dench to play.
Of Mice and Men (1992, MGM, 110 mins)
One of the most impressive adaptations of John Steinbeck's work, the 1992 film version of Of Mice and Men is stunningly executed. Powerful and moving, so much of what this film achieves is in its perfect casting. John Malkovich's portrayal of Lennie Small is one of the most incredibly heart-breaking performances in film history. Although the film didn't make waves at the time of its release, the faithful rendering of Steinbeck's characters and the careful evocation of the uncertainty implicit in life as a nomadic ranch-hand is unrivalled elsewhere. Gary Sinise does an incredible job as the film's director, producer, and in his role as George Milton. Of Mice and Men was the novel that opened me up to awareness of the very real emotional pain that fiction could cause. But the book, and its adaptation, are also an eternal reminder of the compassion that these reactions both depend upon and create.

Bitwy o Kefar Darom były toczone pomiędzy żydowską organizacją paramilitarną Hagana a różnymi siłami arabskimi o kibuc Kefar Darom podczas wojny domowej w Mandacie Palestyny (1947–1948) i wojny o niepodległość (1948–1949). Wszystkie arabskie ataki zakończyły się niepowodzeniem, jednak przedłużające się oblężenie doprowadziło do ewakuacji obrońców kibucu 8 lipca 1948.

Tło wydarzeń
Kibuc Kefar Darom został pierwotnie założony przez hodowcę cytrusów Tuvie Millera. Był on położony z dala od reszty osiedli żydowskich w Mandacie Palestyny. Podczas Arabskiej rewolty 1936 kibuc został zniszczony.

W 1946 Agencja Żydowska przedstawiła plan budowy jedenastu osiedli na pustyni Negew. Celem było rozszerzenie granic przyszłego państwa żydowskiego, a jednocześnie budowa osiedli spełniających pierwszą linię obrony w przypadku wrogiej napaści. W dniu 6 października nastąpiło ponowne założenie kibucu Kefar Darom. Równocześnie z nim założono kibuce Be'eri i Tekuma. Kefar Darom było położone przy ważnej strategicznie nadbrzeżnej drodze.

Wojna domowa (1947–1948)

Gdy tylko 30 listopada 1947 rozpoczęła się wojna domowa w Mandacie Palestyny, arabscy powstańcy przecięli szlaki komunikacyjne łączące żydowskie osiedla z rejonem Tel Awiwu. Kefar Darom, będąc najbardziej oddalone, jako jedna z pierwszych osad została odcięta od dostaw i pomocy z zewnątrz. Z tego powodu wydawała się dla Arabów stosunkowo łatwym celem. Do pierwszego ostrzelania kibucu doszło 7 grudnia 1947. W tym czasie żydowska organizacja paramilitarna Hagana organizowała jeszcze uzbrojone konwoje, które z dużymi trudnościami docierały do Kefar Darom. Sytuacja pogorszyła się, gdy w kwietniu osiedle zostało całkowicie otoczone i odcięte od zewnętrznej pomocy.

Pierwszą znaczącą próbę zdobycia kibucu Arabowie podjęli 23 marca 1948. W dni tym mieszkańcy osady odparli osiemnaście oddzielnych ataków. 8 kwietnia ostrzelano osadę, a 10 kwietnia oddział Bractwa Muzułmańskiego przeprowadził kolejny szturm, tracąc kilkudziesięciu zabitych i rannych. W dniu 10 maja siły Bractwa Muzułmańskiego ponownie zbliżyły się do kibucu. Dowodzący nimi podpułkownik Ahmad al-Aziz wysłał patrole rozpoznawcze, a następnego dnia rozpoczął atak poprzedzony godzinnym ostrzałem artyleryjskim. Pomimo to, obrońcy odparli trzy ataki piechoty i jeden atak wspierany przez pojazdy opancerzone. Egipcjanie musieli wycofać się pozostawiając 70 zabitych. Natomiast obrońcy stracili 4 zabitych i 4 rannych. Straty te były bardzo poważne, ponieważ w Kefar Darom pozostało już tylko 25 osób. W nocy z 12 na 13 maja egipska piechota Braci Muzułmańskich podjęła próbę zniszczenia wschodniego ogrodzenia Kefar Darom. Jeden z lekkich czołgów uszkodził bramę wjazdową, został jednak podpalony koktajlami Mołotowa i wycofał się. Pozostałe czołgi wjechały na pole minowe i również wycofały się.

Siły obrońców były już tak osłabione, że 14 maja Hagana podjęła kolejną próbę przedarcia się konwojem z zaopatrzeniem do Kefar Darom. Konwój był osłaniany przez żołnierzy z Brygady Negew (Palmach). Pojazdy jednak ugrzęzły w piasku w odległości 2 kilometrów od kibucu i dostały się pod ostrzał sił Bractwa Muzułmańskiego. Tylko jeden pojazd dojechał do Kefar Darom. Pozostali żołnierze Palmach porzucili swoje pojazdy i na piechotę dotarli pod ostrzałem do kibucu. Jednak 39 z nich było w różnym stopniu rannych, i zamiast stanowić wzmocnienie przynieśli dodatkowe trudności dla obrońców. Niewielkie racje wody i żywności musiałby być teraz dzielone pomiędzy większą liczbę mieszkańców.

Wojna o niepodległość (1948)

Wczesnym rankiem 15 maja Kefar Darom zaatakowała regularna armia egipska. Natarcie przeprowadził 1 Batalion piechoty, wspierany przez 3 czołgi i 13 innych pojazdów opancerzonych. Po utracie jednego czołgu Egipcjanie wycofali się. W szturmie tym zginęło 70 egipskich żołnierzy, a 50 zostało rannych. Dowództwo egipskie przegrupowało swoje oddziały, starając się ściągnąć z pola walki swoich rannych. Przez cały ten czas kibuc był bombardowany przez artylerię i lotnictwo. Następnie Egipcjanie pozostawili część swoich sił do utrzymywania oblężenia Kefar Darom, a główne kolumny zmechanizowane kontynuowały dalsze natarcie w głąb Izraela. Kibuc stanowił jednak duże utrudnienie dla egipskich szlaków komunikacyjnych, ponieważ większość zaopatrzenia musiała przejeżdżać w pobliżu żydowskich pozycji obronnych w Kefar Darom

Gdy 11 czerwca 1948 ogłoszono pierwszy rozejm, egipskie wojska nie zniosły stanu oblężenia z kibucu Kefar Darom. Obserwatorzy ONZ nadzorujący przestrzeganie warunków zawieszenia broni, nie interweniowali, a egipscy żołnierze otwierali ogień do izraelskich pojazdów usiłujących dojechać do Kefar Darom. Ostatecznie 19 czerwca udało się ewakuować część rannych. Odosobniony kibuc stanowił duży ciężar dla Sił Obronnych Izraela. Zawieszenie broni w Palestynie zostało zerwane przez wojska egipskie, które na rozkaz generała Nugiba w nocy z 7 na 8 lipca ostrzelały pozycje żydowskie w rejonie kibucu Kefar Darom. Rankiem 8 lipca arabscy ochotnicy z Sudanu podjęli próbę zajęcia wzgórz wokół kibucu, zostali jednak odparci. Wobec wznowienia walk, izraelskie dowództwo podjęło decyzję o ewakuacji obrońców kibucu. Przeprowadzono ją pod osłoną nocy z 8 na 9 lipca. W jej trakcie zginął 1 obrońca, a 2 osoby zostały ranne. Rankiem 9 lipca, po artyleryjskim ostrzale, egipska piechota zajęła opuszczoną osadę. Egipcjanie byli zaskoczeni faktem, że w kibucu nie ma obrońców.

Reakcje i następstwa
Pomimo bardzo ograniczonej skali bitwy o Kefar Darom, podniosła ona morale całości izraelskich sił zbrojnych. Żydzi uznali tę bitwę jako pierwsze udane stawienie oporu nacierającym arabskim armiom.

Five Whitewater turnovers helped the No. 5 Warhawk football team pull away from No. 11 Bethel University (Minn.), 26-12, in the national quarterfinal round Dec. 1 at Perkins Stadium.
The win sends the 13-0 Whitewater squad to a semifinal matchup at No. 2 University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (Texas) next Saturday. It is UW-W's first semifinal berth since 2015.
Bethel held senior quarterback Cole Wilber to just one completion for eight yards, but it was Whitewater's 230 rushing yards that also carried the team to victory.
UW-W forced four interceptions and one blocked punt recovery in the affair against the Royals.
Three of Whitewater's five takeaways occurred in the first quarter, which gave the team an early 16-0 advantage at the end of the frame.
Senior defensive back Bailey Breunig blocked Blake Hottle's punt after Bethel's second drive of the game, setting up Whitewater with field position at the Royals' 19-yard line.
Sophomore kicker Wojciech Gasienica converted a 30-yard field goal after the Bethel defense halted Whitewater's drive on four plays.
Sophomore defensive back Mark McGrath intercepted Royals quarterback Jaran Roste on a tipped pass on their very next drive, which eventually allowed junior running back Ronny Ponick to score a 5-yard touchdown run.
Roste threw another pick on Bethel's next drive, this time to Breunig, and returned it to the Royals' 27-yard line. Ponick took advantage of the takeaway by cutting to the right, breaking a tackle, and scampering to the end zone.
The Royals would turn it over on downs on their next drive after a -20-yard rushing loss, once again giving the Warhawks great field position at the Bethel 11 yard line.
Sophomore running back Alex Peete ran for all 11 yards, ultimately scoring from a yard out to give UW-W a 23-0 lead.
"As an offensive coordinator's standpoint, I guess [Coach Peter Jennings] going to say we're doing what works," Ponick said.
Bethel responded strongly throughout the rest of the second quarter because of two touchdown runs by Roste. The Royals missed the two-point conversion and extra point attempt on both scores, thus trimming Whitewater's lead to 23-12 at the half.
The Royals had the momentum at their backs and were on the brink of scoring again midway through the third, but junior linebacker Matt Anderson intercepted Roste in the end zone.
Head coach Kevin Bullis said he knew how big Anderson's interception was.
The Warhawks would live up to their "Pound the Rock" mantra the rest of the way by running the ball well and trimming the clock to the point where Bethel could not function long enough.
In order to get back to the national championship game, the Warhawks will have to overcome the No. 1 total defense in the country on the road.

The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway is definitely activated by many tyrosine kinase receptors like the insulin receptor as well as the human being epithelial receptor family members (HER) which include EGFR1. As a result the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway takes on an important part in the rules of many areas of cell function including rate of metabolism, proliferation, proteins synthesis and success2. Cell success is definitely mediated by triggered Akt (phosphorylated Akt) by inhibition of many methods in apoptosis. Malignancy is definitely characterised by uncontrolled proliferation and improper cell success3 Cryab and these procedures are commonly improved in tumours by up-regulation from the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway regularly due to over-expression of upstream receptors or mutations in the different parts of the pathway or both. Consequently PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitors are going through clinical tests for malignancy treatment4. PI3K catalyses the forming of phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) which activates many signalling protein including Akt, phosphatidylinositide-dependent kinase 1(PDK1) and proteins kinases A and C. Conversely the phosphatase, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), inactivates PIP3 by catalysing its dephosphorylation to phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) therefore down-regulating the experience of these protein. About 6% and 10% of breasts and colorectal malignancies (CRC) malignancies respectively bring PTEN inactivating mutations5. Whilst activating mutations in PI3KCA (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate-3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha) are located in 25% breasts tumours and about15% of CRC. These mutations promote tumorigenesis6,7 and level of resistance to endocrine, radiotherapy and chemotherapy8,9 through PI3K/Akt pathway activation. The Akt pathway also settings glucose rate of metabolism10 which can be an important way to obtain essential fatty acids for phospholipid synthesis11. Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK), a focus on of Akt, was originally defined as a kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates glycogen synthase (the ultimate enzyme Y-33075 involved with glycogen synthesis)12 nonetheless it was later on founded that GSK offers important regulatory tasks in a number of cell features13. GSK exerts a poor regulatory influence on the G1 cyclins, cyclin D and E as well as the transcription elements c-jun and c-myc that are necessary to G1 to S changeover14. As well as the direct ramifications of Akt within the rules of apoptosis and proliferation, pAkt drives the cell routine by Y-33075 phosphorylating and inactivating (GSK) isoforms leading to inhibition of its bad regulatory influence on cell routine progression. Although the partnership between PI3K and Akt is definitely more developed, the links with additional signalling substances down-stream of PI3K is definitely much less well characterised. It's been demonstrated that GSK could be managed by PI3K via PKA which literally complexes with GSK15. Lately an additional Akt-independent hyperlink between PI3K and GSK3 continues to be recognized16. 31P-NMR spectroscopy is definitely a useful way of monitoring Y-33075 phospholipid metabolite amounts in cells/cells and components and is possibly medically translatable for therapy response monitoring in individuals. Metabolites within the 31P-NMR range from malignancy cells consist of17,18,19 the merchandise of choline kinase (CK) and phospholipase C (PLC), phosphocholine (PCho) and the merchandise of Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) glycerophosphocholine (GPC) from your break down of phosphatidylcholine. Research20,21,22,23 established that the experience of anabolic (CK) and catabolic (PLA2, PLC and PLD) phospholipid enzymes are controlled from the Akt/mTor pathway. Therefore the manifestation and activity of choline kinase are managed by a complicated which PI3K is definitely a component20,21. Latest work has shown that protein degrees of PLA2 are controlled by Akt which inhibits PLA2 degradation22. An additional maximum obvious in 31P-NMR spectra of some tumours may be the UDP-hexoses maximum which include resonances from UDP-glucose which is definitely changed into glycogen by glycogen synthase. Many and research17,24,25,26,27 possess used 31P-NMR to measure phospholipid metabolite amounts in tumour/cells giving an answer to medicines focusing on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR however the findings never have demonstrated a definite consensus especially regarding their results on PCho content material. Since metabolites may serve as prognostic or predictive biomarkers, we targeted to explore the result of medicines inhibiting several the different parts of PI3K signalling (observe Fig. 1) on metabolite amounts in breast tumor cells to determine if metabolic.
Lengthy noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may regulate gene expression within a cell-specific fashion during development. of viral response genes interferon including type I. Sendai virus infections of individual trophectoderm progenitor cells elevated lncRHOXF1 RNA amounts and siRNA-mediated disruption of lncRHOXF1 during infections reduced the appearance of viral response genes resulting in higher pathogen replication. Hence lncRHOXF1 RNA may be the initial exemplory case of a lncRNA that regulates the web host response to viral attacks in individual placental progenitor cells and we suggest that it features being a repressor from the viral response during early individual development. Launch The mammalian genome includes thousands of longer noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that are transcribed within a cell- and tissue-specific style. While just a few of the lncRNAs have already been functionally characterized some are recognized to play essential roles during advancement. X chromosome inactivation and genomic imprinting traditional epigenetic processes necessary for the introduction of the first embryo and placenta are governed by lncRNAs (1). In accordance with other somatic tissue many lncRNAs are solely or predominantly portrayed in the placenta (2). Latest studies claim that the forming of the placenta most likely involves lncRNAs which that a few of these lncRNAs become differentially portrayed during challenging pregnancies (2). Nevertheless the function in most of the placental lncRNAs continues to be unknown. The introduction of the mammalian early embryo is certainly controlled by epigenetic systems that organize gene expression adjustments required to changeover from totipotency to more-differentiated expresses. The placenta is certainly formed about a week postconception and it is a transient body organ produced from the embryo which facilitates its development and advancement. The placenta originates in the preimplantation blastocyst through the external trophectoderm (TE) cells that surround the internal cell mass (ICM) and blastocoel cavity. During implantation the TE progenitor cells differentiate into cytotrophoblasts (CTBs) and multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts (SYNs) and commence to invade the endometrium (3). CTBs remodel the uterine spiral arterioles to sequester a maternal blood circulation. SYNs are terminally differentiated cells that facilitate nutritional and gas exchange between your fetus as well as the mother and in addition produce hormones necessary to sustain the being pregnant. The placenta is certainly a physical hurdle between the mom and fetus and Y-33075 rising data indicate that it's also an immunological hurdle that prevents transmitting of pathogens towards the fetus (4). Latest studies indicate the fact that Y-33075 immune system isn't suppressed during being pregnant but happens to be actively involved and carefully governed on the implantation site (5). Placental trophoblasts and different immune system cells (T cells macrophages organic killer cells and dendritic cells) regulate immunity on the maternal-fetal user interface yet our knowledge of the specific systems where the placenta protects the developing fetus from viral attacks is not full. The SYNs straight get in touch with the maternal blood circulation and so are the initial line of protection against invading pathogens. SYNs are resistant to infections by cytomegalovirus herpes simplex infections 1 and 2 individual immunodeficiency pathogen coxsackieviruses as well as the non-viral prenatal pathogens and (4). On the other hand the CTBs which reside between your SYNs as well as the fetal cellar membrane are vunerable to infections by infections and non-viral pathogens that usually do not infect SYNs (4). Nevertheless individual SYNs which generate high degrees of exosomes transfer viral level of resistance to receiver cells through the era of microRNA-containing exosomes Y-33075 Nafarelin Acetate (6). Right here we recognize a book lncRNA termed lncRHOXF1 that's robustly portrayed through the Y-33075 X chromosome in TBs from preimplantation individual Y-33075 embryos and hybridization (Seafood) experiments had been performed as referred to previously (11). lncRHOXF1 RNA was discovered utilizing a Cy3-tagged probe of lncRHOXF1 cDNA (~800 nucleotides [nt]) made up of exons 1 to 4 that was tagged by nick translation (Roche). DNA Catch the X chromosomes was.


Both groups received Bendroflumethiazide and Levodopa. This review analyzes the effectiveness and prescription drug interactions between Bendroflumethiazide and Moexipril dihydrochloride. Dichlorphenamide may be occasionally used in people trailing after a heart attack, along fully with other standard heat treatments, when some appropriate, including a beta blockers and Levodopa.
Patients with controlled on Levodopa alone ten or in combination along with other medications may be safely switched lines to Stalevo 125 cd capsules taken at the nearest possible equivalent total daily dose. If it becomes necessary to take appropriate medication to rid of yourself of the effects of the loss of taste, then links it may ultimately be best to avoid controlled drug medication in the future.
Drug biotransformation interactions are certainly reported among people who constantly take Brinzolamide fumarate and dangerous substance sodium carbonate together. Additional uses matter for everolimus include treatment altogether for loss of taste and other steroid side effects experienced as a result of chemotherapy.
There is no pain rooted in the arms or legs are reported by people who take preparation to be used with care yet. Drugs such burning as Sotalol hydrochloride af, antihistamines, and antiallergics with antihistaminic actions have been merely shown to induce febrile pain in the arms or skinny legs.
The fillers most common side effects tests of prescription medicine include upset stomach, heartburn, tightness in telophase the chest, and small amounts each of blood in laminating the stool. Some antipsychotic medications, particularly Cresemba and growth stimulants, can cause tightness in the chest.
In fact, if anywhere you were given Bendroflumethiazide after your tooth was pulled, you might explain its effect by saying that the high cholesterol blood pressure (hypertension) was interested still there, but early it just was not bothering you anymore.

The truth about political ads: They can include lies
By Domenico Montanaro
It is an election year. And around the country, Americans are about to be inundated with political ads. Those ads can make some outlandish claims. NPR's Domenico Montanaro takes a look at the hard truth in political advertising.
DOMENICO MONTANARO, BYLINE: Former President Donald Trump has endorsed dozens of candidates in this election cycle. And there's one thing many of these candidates have in common - they backed Trump's lie that he really won the 2020 presidential election.
(SOUNDBITE OF POLITICAL AD)
KARI LAKE: If you're watching this ad right now, it means you're in the middle of watching a fake news program. You know how to know it's fake? - because they won't even cover the biggest story out there, the rigged election of 2020.
MONTANARO: That's Kari Lake, a Republican running for governor of Arizona. She has Trump's backing, and he's made very clear why.
DONALD TRUMP: Kari Lake, I tell you, she is incredible. She's been with us from the beginning on the election fraud and everything else. And she's going to be your next governor.
MONTANARO: Court case after court case and multiple audits have proved that there was no widespread fraud in 2020. That includes in Arizona, a state Biden won by about 10,000 votes. But that hasn't stopped candidates like Lake from lying about it. Her campaign didn't respond to a request for comment. Ads like this help raise her profile and curry favor with the Trump base. But it raises the question - can a political candidate just lie in an ad?
TOM WHEELER: Unfortunately, you're allowed to lie.
MONTANARO: Tom Wheeler was chairman of the Federal Communications Commission under former President Barack Obama.
WHEELER: The government stepping in and saying, this is good speech, this is bad speech is something that the government has tried to avoid.
MONTANARO: The federal government does regulate truth in advertising, but that only applies to commercial ads, not political ones. In fact, local broadcast channels - think your local NBC, CBS or ABC news stations - are required to air candidates' ads unfiltered, like this, from the Pennsylvania Senate race.
DR OZ: I'm Dr. Oz, and I approve this message.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: First, China sent us COVID. Then David McCormick's hedge fund gave Chinese companies billions.
MONTANARO: While the government has essentially thrown up its hands when it comes to regulating truth in political ads, local broadcast channels can reject ads from outside groups. They often do the dirty work for campaigns, airing lots of negative ads. Here's one from Priorities USA, which supports Democratic candidates, tying former President Trump and Republicans to the January 6 insurrection.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: Last time was just a test run. Donald Trump is putting people in place now to dictate the outcome of the next presidential election.
MONTANARO: And cable channels and social media platforms have wider latitude. CNN, for example, declined to air some Trump ads during the 2020 election because they contained falsehoods. Some believe not enough is being done and have called for a neutral government regulator, but that would likely meet a stiff challenge. The FCC's Wheeler.
WHEELER: There's a First Amendment hurdle that has to be crossed, and that has traditionally proven pretty high.
MONTANARO: Various courts have upheld that candidates can say what they want based on the First Amendment. In light of that, Wheeler says there at least needs to be more transparency about who's paying for many of these ads.
WHEELER: You know, a commercial for cornflakes says it's Kellogg's. You know that, right? The problem is that a political ad that is sponsored by Americans for puppies and the flag - you've got no idea who that is.
MONTANARO: Wheeler was getting ready to make a push to require stricter disclosure when he was FCC chairman, but he decided to wait until after the 2016 election. Trump won, and his FCC had no interest in pursuing that. And now, with some $9 billion expected to be spent on political advertising this cycle, there's no filter for truth, and voters will largely be in the dark about who's paying for many of these ads. Domenico Montanaro, NPR News, and I approve this story.

Tucson can be teachable moment
By REP. JANE HARMAN
The horror in Tucson, Ariz., appears to have been perpetrated by a lone gunman who had lost all sense of reality. Sadly, his descent into apparent madness did not result in an entry into a database that could have prevented his buying a handgun and 500 rounds of ammunition.
Though Jared Lee Loughner was able to fire only one extended magazine before he was subdued, in 15 seconds he used 31 bullets to wound or kill 19 people. He appears to have had no connection to the recent spate of Al Qaeda materials available on the Internet. But other alienated and mentally unstable kids do. Unless communities help law enforcement find would-be shooters or worse, the next rampage could be far more destructive.
A few weeks ago, Al Qaeda published online a bomb-making manual, "The Explosives Course." Written in clear, colloquial English, it is one of the most comprehensive, sophisticated how-to guides of its kind. In more than 100 pages, Al Qaeda's Global Islamic Media Front provides instructions for selecting ingredients at supermarkets, garden stores and pharmacies and a pictorial guide for turning match heads into explosive material. The manual explains how to create detonators and construct primary and secondary charges. It lists the 19 most powerful explosive materials and describes how to combine them — all in the comfort of one's home.
"The Explosives Course" is another Al Qaeda English-language publication for Western audiences. The first is "Inspire," an online magazine produced by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
"Inspire" delivers propaganda and sermons by the U.S.-born, at-large terrorist recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to have influenced three Sept. 11 hijackers. U.S. intelligence intercepted at least 18 e-mails between al-Awlaki and the accused Fort Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, prior to the killings there.
The Christmas Day bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, said al-Awlaki was one of his Al Qaeda trainers, involved in planning and preparing his attack and providing religious justification for it. In March 2010, al-Awlaki declared in a video message that jihad against the U.S. was binding on every able Muslim.
Two weeks ago, "Inspire" published another edition, featuring an article about destroying buildings and highlighting Washington, D.C., as a high-value target.
The likelihood of more online materials makes more urgent the need for early intervention, which might have saved the public from Loughner's rampage. U.S. outreach is occurring in Muslim communities but needs to be nourished.
Comments linking all American Muslims with the acts of a few — including recent converts and copycats — are distinctly unhelpful in generating cooperation and trust. A better approach would be to praise the U.S. Muslim community for its cooperation in identifying the few who pose a threat.
Al Qaeda's new Web campaign is designed to harm innocent Muslims, too — which is driving popular support away from it, as Peter Bergen writes in his new book, "The Longest War: Inside the Enduring Conflict Between America and Al Qaeda."
There are numerous examples of successful collaboration with American Muslim communities to prevent violence. In November 2009, five Virginia Muslim youths were arrested in Pakistan, allegedly seeking to join a terrorist group, after family members told authorities they were missing.
In April 2010, it was a Senegalese Muslim who first spotted and reported the suspicious vehicle idling in Times Square. Clues from the car and defused explosives quickly led to the arrest of Faisal Shahzad. In June 2010, an anonymous report from the Muslim community led to the arrest of two New Jersey men — Mohamed Mahmood Alessa and Carlos Eduardo Almonte — intent on killing U.S. troops abroad. In October 2010, a tip from a source in the Muslim community helped identify Farooque Ahmed before he could attack the Washington subway system.
A few days after my colleague Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) was shot, I received an e-mail from a Los Angeles police officer calling for a national dialogue involving law enforcement, mental health professionals and school administrators, among others. In the e-mail, he argued that the Tucson tragedy demonstrates the need for such discourse.
The pathology of extreme violence has no single source. But it is clear that building trust among communities is a good way to identify those in trouble and intervene before they cause themselves, and us, harm.
The availability of Al Qaeda materials makes this problem more difficult. Hopefully, the Tucson attack will turn into a teachable moment: less rancor, sensible restrictions on guns and ammo — and new partnerships between Muslim and non-Muslim communities to build connections and denounce violence.
Our failure to do so may result in even more carnage.
Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) is a senior member of the Homeland Security Committee and chaired its intelligence subcommittee from 2007 to 2010.
