Emergency High Alert! Gun Confiscation Agenda Kicked Into High Gear As Call Goes Out For US State Department To Label NRA a 'Terrorist Organization' - Republic Hangs In Balance!
With the White House now officially announcing that Barack Obama is preparing more executive actions on gun control as shared in this story from Breitbart, ANP takes a look at how extreme this administration may likely go to completely ban guns in America via looking at a story from a mainstream news outlet that is now calling for the labeling of the NRA as a 'terrorist organization'.
We also have to ask why such a strong disarmament push is being made NOW despite the same administration ALLOWING terrorists into America due to lax immigration policies at the same time as this is disarmament agenda is going on? We also have to ask, is all of this part of a long-held plot to completely take over America via initiating civil war prior to an attack upon us by Russia and China? As a well-trusted ANP source tells us, at this dire moment in time, the fate of the entire Republic hangs in the balance.
According to obvious Nazi Linda Stasi at the New York Daily News, the US Department of State MUST list the 'gun-loving NRA' as a terrorist organization in her latest anti-Constitution blustering that has ANP asking WHY she (and countless others) would possibly want TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans dead at the hands of criminals (who will never volunarily hand over their guns) and an obviously completely out of control government via the illegal disarmament of the American people?
Stasi clearly never did her history homework (either that, or she did and truly wants MILLIONS of Americans dead!) which proves that HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS have died at the hands of government terror across the world in the last hundred plus years alone and the common theme to that terror upon humanity has historically been disarming the people of the country where a government reign of terror is about to begin. Does she really not understand that gun control equals genocide?
In the meantime, Hitlery Clinton announces a new slate of gun control ideas that she'd implement via executive action in America if she is (s)elected president, another clear sign that the globalists (of which Stasi has proven herself to be one) are ready to kick their gun confiscation drive in America into overdrive.
Anybody who thinks that false flag events and government sponsored genocide in our own country could never happen with this government is either totally clueless or hasn't done their homework either, as we find this government alone responsible for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people throughout the world since World War 2, far more than the 87,000+ Nazi-Stasi blames the NRA for in her sad story that she obviously sold her soul to satan himself to deliver his deadly propaganda.
With ISIS now advancing its' apocalyptic fantasy in Europe with their 5-year plan to conquer Rome and then the world and even presidential candidate Donald Trump recently warning that a trojan horse invasion has possibly been allowed to happen in Europe and could soon be used to topple America with the arrival of up to 250,000 'refugees', manyof whom will likely be ISIS terrorists, there has never been a more important time than now for the American people to be prepared for whatever might come our way.
While it has been argued time and again that law enforcement and the US military would never voluntarily disarm the American citizens, all we need to do is look at Obama's recent moves to establish a global police force here in America of which many warn could be used to carry out the dirty work of disarming American citizens that our law enforcement and military refuses to do as shared in the 2nd video below.
We also should remember the warnings given by Henry Gruver and Dimitru Duduman as shared in the 3rd and 4th videos below to see that going back many years now, we have been warned about what may soon unfold here in our country. We know that throughout world history, citizens who obey illegal and immoral gun laws far too often end up on the wrong end of history.
In the 1st video below we hear from Australians about exactly what has happened there since the gun confiscation agenda took place there. They have seen gun related crimes skyrocket across the country and they share a dire warning to Americans - don't let it happen to you.
Why does Barack Obama need a 'global police force' in America to deal with extremists? Who are extremists in his eyes, the NRA and gun owners? We think that extremists are those who desecrate the US Constitution and attempt to take away our God-given and Constitution supported rights to protect ourselves, our families and our loved ones from those who seek to do us harm.
This next video features Henry Gruver's vision that one day, China and Russia will invade America.
This video was originally published in 1998 and shares Duduman's prophecy that Russia will attack America by sea and destroy America with nuclear weapons.

Darya Uladzimirauna Domracheva (; born 3 August 1986) is a retired Belarusian biathlete and coach who competed in the Biathlon World Cup from 2006 to 2018. She won a gold medal in the 4×6 km relay and a silver medal in the mass start competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics, three gold medals in the pursuit, individual, and mass start competitions at the 2014 Winter Olympics, and a bronze medal in the individual competition at the 2010 Winter Olympics. She was a Biathlon World Cup overall winner for the 2014–15 season.

Career
Domracheva started her sports career with cross-country skiing in 1992 but switched to biathlon in 1999. She originally represented Russia at the junior level but received an offer to transfer to Belarus in 2004. She joined Belarus' national biathlon team in 2006. Domracheva won sprint and pursuit at the 2005 IBU Youth and Junior World Championships in Kontiolahti (Finland). She finished 40th in the individual race.

Domracheva took 3rd place in the pursuit and 4th place in the individual events at the 2006 Junior World Championships in Presque Isle, Maine. In 2007, she picked up two silver medals in sprint and pursuit at the Junior World Championships in Martell, Italy.

Her breakthrough came during the 2008/2009 season when she earned two third places and one second place.

At the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, she won the bronze medal in the Women's 15-kilometer individual race at the Whistler Olympic Park venue. Later in the same season, on 13 March, she won her first World Cup race in the sprint in Kontiolahti, Finland. The next day she also won the pursuit.

Domracheva was named Belarus' Female Athlete of the Year in 2010, and was also given the title of Honoured Master of Sport that year.

She continued to improve after the Vancouver Olympics, winning 10 world cup races between the 2011–2013 seasons, as well as becoming the world champion in the pursuit in 2012, and the mass start in 2013. In 2014 Domracheva was given the Hero of Belarus medal, after winning three gold medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

In August 2015, Domracheva decided to skip the 2015–16 World Cup season due to mononucleosis which was diagnosed in July.

Domracheva confirmed her pregnancy in April 2016, and said that she plans to return to compete in 2017. Domracheva returned to the World Cup in January 2017 for the 2016–17 season. Her comeback ended up being successful, winning a silver medal at the 2017 world championships in the individual pursuit in preparation for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. At the 2018 Winter Olympics, she was unable to defend her Olympic titles from Sochi; however she was still able to pick up a silver medal in the mass start individually, and helped the Belarusian team win the historic first Olympic gold medal in the relay. She finished the 2018 season ranked 3rd overall in the Biathlon World Cup, and announced her retirement in June, citing difficulties in combining both elite sport and parenting. She finished her career as Belarus' most decorated winter Olympian, and most decorated Olympian of either the winter or summer games to compete for Belarus as an independent nation; gymnasts Olga Korbut and Vitaly Scherbo both have more medals, but Korbut competed for the Soviet Union and Scherbo only received 4 of his medals competing for Belarus; his remaining medals were won as part of the Unified Team. She was coached by former World Champion and Olympic medalist Klaus Siebert.

In September 2019, she along with her husband Ole Einar Björndalen were appointed as biathlon coaches for the Chinese team, preparing the team for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.

World Cup
Domracheva won the Pursuit World Cup 2011–2012 and won the Mass Start World Cup 2011–2012. In the Total World Cup 2011–2012 she ended the season second with 1188 points behind Magdalena Neuner's 1216 points.

In the 2010–2011 season Domracheva won the Mass Start World Cup.

Her biggest achievement was in the 2014–2015 when Domracheva won the Overall World Cup title with 1092 points, 48 points more than second and twice winner Kaisa Mäkäräinen. She also won the Sprint World Cup title in that season.

Personal life

Domracheva was born in Minsk. When she was four, her parents, who are architects, moved to the small town of Nyagan in Siberia. Domracheva started skiing when she was six. In cross-country ski races she was competing with boys, as she had no rivals among girls. A biathlon school was opened in Nyagan in 1999, which Domracheva attended.

Domracheva's family moved back to Minsk in 2003. There was no faculty of Sports Management in Minsk, so Domracheva changed to studying Tourism Management at the Belarusian State Economic University. In 2009, she was writing her diploma thesis on the subject: Advertising in the tourism industry. Until 2014, Domracheva was an employee of the Belarusian branch of security agency KGB, one of the few to have retained its name from the Soviet Union era.

On 5 April 2016, Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen confirmed that he and Domracheva are in a relationship and that Domracheva would give birth to their first child in October 2016. They were married 16 July 2016. Domracheva gave birth to a daughter, Xenia, on 1 October 2016. She retired from competitions in June 2018 to focus on raising her daughter.

During the 2020 Belarusian protests, Domracheva called on riot police to stop using violence against protesters and to resolve conflict through peaceful means.

Film
Domracheva used a video camera to document herself, her teammates and athletes from other countries from 2008 until after the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The 500 hours of material was edited into a 50-minute movie. The movie gives a unique insight into the life of world class athletes during the whole year, from the few weeks of relaxation and rest in the spring, through the hard training during the summer and the fall, to the competition season between December and March. The movie shows athletes from many countries, living together, traveling together and competing together.

Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat baby no surrender
Like soldiers on the winter's night with a vow to defend
-No Surrender (Bruce Springsteen)
Welcome to "Thursday Numbers!" In case you are a first-time visitor, this is the weekly column where I take a look at the numbers in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary sometimes sprinkled with sarcasm and humor.
This week's topics include national debt, unemployment, USA deaths from coronavirus, fully immunized Montanans, permanently banned, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, porcelain bowl, Dr. Seuss, QAnon, January 6 response, plus much more!
28,000,000,000,000
The national debt went past $28 trillion this week. (Debt Clock)
Click HERE for an explanation of what being 28 trillion dollars in debt looks like.
In the week ending February 27, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial unemployment claims was 745,000, an increase of 9,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised up by 6,000 from 730,000 to
736,000. The 4-week moving average was 790,750, a decrease of 16,750 from the previous week's revised average. The previous week's average was revised down by 250 from 807,750 to 807,500. (DOL)
*Note: On Thursdays, this column is published right after 6:30 a.m. (Montana time), so I can post the latest unemployment numbers.
That is how many people have died in the United States from coronavirus, according to the latest data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. There are at least 518,459 deaths and 28,761,702 cases across the country so far. The first death in the USA was reported on February 29, 2020. (Johns Hopkins)
Last week the death total was 505,899.
That's how many Montanans have been fully immunized for COVID-19. (SOURCE)
Last week the number of fully immunized Montanans was 73,259.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Montana's estimated population in July 2019 was 1,068,778.
That's just a small percentage of Montanans who are fully immunized. We should all be wearing masks until we have a higher percentage of fully immunized Montanans.
A hunter (Iniki Vike Kapu) from Colorado Springs has been permanently banned from hunting in 48 states, including Colorado, after he pleaded guilty to several poaching charges across the state. Kapu was accused of killing 12 deer, 2 turkeys, and a bighorn sheep ram across three Colorado counties. (AP)
They should take his man card, too.
Multiple sexual harassment claims and the New York state nursing home scandal appear to have caught up with Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), according to one new poll. In a just-released survey from Emerson College, the New York governor's approval ratings are underwater — checking in at 38 percent favorable and 48 percent unfavorable. The same outfit showed 71 percent of New Yorkers backing Gov. Cuomo for his work on the coronavirus pandemic in April of 2020. (Mediaite)
Although the investigation is not complete, I doubt he will be the governor much longer.
A small porcelain bowl bought for $35 at a Connecticut yard sale turned out to be a rare, 15th-century Chinese artifact worth between $300,000 and $500,000 that is about to go up for auction at Sotheby's. (AP)
It looks like it would be a great bowl for cereal or oatmeal…
Six Dr. Seuss books — including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo" — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author's legacy said Tuesday. (AP)
The AP said that Dr. Seuss Enterprises told them, "These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."
I can't disagree with those reasons, although some are pretty upset about the move.
I brought this up last week, but here's a reminder that today (March 4, 2021) is the next big day for the QAnon folks. Newsweek reports that supporters of the radical conspiracy now believe that March 4 will be the day that Trump will still somehow be sworn in as president, seemingly undeterred by the January 20 ceremony, after which Biden entered the White House, and all their other predictions since late 2017 having failed. (Newsweek)
Let's be safe out there…
The head of the DC National Guard told Congress Wednesday he was "stunned" as senior military leaders refused desperate pleas to send in troops to quell the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. Even after the Capitol had been breached, Pentagon officials in the Trump administration held off on sending in reinforcements for three hours and 19 minutes while citing a concern about "optics," DC National Guard commanding general William Walker told the Senate Rules and Administration Committee.

Update on the false idol with the golden calves.
"The creators of the statue originally claimed it was made in Mexico, but Mendoza eventually confirmed the truth to The Independent.
"If somebody says 'Why would he do it?' well, I think that you don't want to have a Trump statue at the CPAC and say 'Yeah, it was made in China,'" Mendoza told the newspaper, adding they could make four statues in China for the price of one elsewhere."

Namecheap has taken down Neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer
'Paired with the support for violent groups and causes [it] passes from protected free speech into incitement'
By Adi Robertson and Andrew Liptak Aug 20, 2017, 10:42am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Namecheap has taken down Neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer
Neo-nazi news site Daily Stormer will need to find another host after Namecheap announced on Sunday that it will not host the site. The hate site was registered with the company on Friday after being kicked off of GoDaddy, Google Domains, and a Russian registrar earlier this week before being shut down by each.
On Friday, the company's Twitter account began replying to users about the registration, saying its legal and abuse department was "already looking into it."
Hi, thanks a lot for reporting this case. Our Legal&Abuse department is already looking into it.
— Namecheap.com (@Namecheap) August 18, 2017
In a blog post, Namecheap CEO Richard Kirkendall said that he examined the content of the website, and found that "paired with the support for violent groups and causes [it] passes from protected free speech into incitement."
The site was criticized for accepting the registration, with some users saying that they were moving their websites to a new host. Kirkendall has been addressing replies on Twitter, where he said that he and his company "don't make rash decisions around freedom of speech."
For the moment, while the Daily Stormer can be accessed through the anonymous Tor network, it is offline for most internet users.

Q: mysql delete query with sub query not working I try to create mysql event that should delete duplicate rows of table.
This is my query
DELETE FROM locations
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT  id
                 FROM locations
                 GROUP BY acc_id,`date`)

I got this error:
Error Code: 1093
You can't specify target table 'locations' for update in FROM clause.

How can I change the query to make it work?

A: In MySQL you can't delete from the same table you are selecting from. But you can trick MySQL with another subselect
DELETE FROM locations
WHERE id NOT IN
(
  select * from
  (
      SELECT id
      FROM locations
      GROUP BY acc_id, `date`
  ) x
)

A: Try to provide the custom alias  in your subquery you cannot directly specify the same table in update/delete
DELETE FROM locations
WHERE id NOT IN (
SELECT new_table.id FROM (
SELECT  id
FROM locations
GROUP BY acc_id,`date`
) new_table
)

A Beginner's Guide To Possum Merino Clothing and Why You Need It
By NZ Nature
A beginner's guide to possum merino and its qualities and uses in clothing.
NZ Nature
Over 1,000 products online include ranges of clothing in Silk, Bamboo, Possum Merino and Pure…
Cashmere may once have been the go-to for luxurious clothing that is soft, warm and looks great but there's a new contender on the market that is threatening to take its crown. Possum merino is a blend of the finest merino wool and soft New Zealand possum fur, which is 35% warmer than cashmere (whilst still retaining that silky softness) and 50% warmer than merino alone. Intrigued? What to know more? Our guide to the whys, whats and wherefores of possum merino should answer all your questions...
The incredible warmth of possum fur and merino wool combined
Possum fur is so warm it doesn't freeze - the only fur other than polar bear fur that can boast such an attribute! Its hollow structure is to thank for this, a feature which, like merino, also traps warmth to keep you toasty, making it one of the best insulating fibres in the world. Possum merino is also incredibly versatile, keeping you warm in the winter and even continuing to create heat when wet, yet its breathability means that it functions well in warmer weather too.
Powers of durability
Possum fibres are stretchy, giving them a resistance to breaking and, combined with merino, the fabric will remain pill-free and anti-static. New Zealand possum fur in particular has a long life expectancy as it doesn't shed, ensuring it keeps that plush, new-looking texture and feel.
As soft and light as silk
The hollow nature of possum fur and super-fine merino wool makes possum merino 14% lighter than wool, a figure which gives it the distinction of being one of the most lightweight natural fibre fabrics in the world. It is also incredibly soft, hugging the skin without itching or irritating it in any way.
Odour-resistant
Both merino wool and possum fur wick moisture away from the body and release it into the air, giving the garment added comfort and ensuring it resists odours.
A resourceful solution to an environmental challenge
For those who may worry that wearing fur supports a cruel industry, it is important to note that possums are an introduced species which threaten New Zealand's unique flora and fauna. Unlike in their native Australia, possums have no natural predators in New Zealand and have therefore been able to breed unchecked, leading to astronomical numbers of the creatures. Their fondness for unique native trees, the eggs and chicks of endangered birds, and insects which form a vital part of the diet of many of the country's endangered birds, is having disastrous consequences.
21,000 tons of vegetation are demolished by possums each night and native bird life is being driven to the point of extinction. As a result, the New Zealand government has declared possums a serious threat to the country's biodiversity and an official pest, and has begun measures to eradicate them. Possum fur is most often a by-product of the government's cull on the animals, the majority of which are left simply to rot in the bush.
Clothing crafted from possum merino blends may still be emerging from their infancy but it won't be long until the rest of the world catches on to this luxuriously soft yet durable fabric. Cashmere is so last season.
The New Zealand Nature Company have a large variety of possum merino clothing available for sale on their website. NZ Nature are a mail order and internet shop selling their goods all around the world to over 70 countries. There are over 1,000 products online include ranges of clothing in Silk, Bamboo, Possum Merino and Pure Merino. Sheepskin boots and slippers are complemented by natural bedding and bodycare.

#NewVideo Jennifer Lopez Ft Bad Bunny - "Te Guste"
Bronx, New York singer/actress Jennifer Lopez presents the music video for "Te Guste (You Liked Me", her single with fellow Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. "Te Guste" continues J-Lo's recent slew of heavily Latin-flavored singles, from "Ni Tú Ni Yo" with Gente de Zona and her collaboration with Cardi B and DJ Khaled.
J-Lo is currently prepping for her upcoming movie Second Act. Bad Bunny's appearance on "MIA" helped Drake break The Beatles' record for most top ten hits in one year, and his "I Like It" collaboration with Cardi B recently went number one.
At this month's Latin Grammy Awards ceremony, Bad Bunny will join Will Smith and Marc Anthony for a show-opening performance of their "Está Rico" collab. The "Te Guste" video was directed by Mike Ho, the man behind videos for Cardi B, T.I. and Teyana Taylor. The single is a joint venture between Underdog Records and G2Productions.

Q: Storing text in SQL with formatting (breaklines etc.) I currently have
<textarea id="Commentary" rows="5" cols="40" runat="server"></textarea>

Then in the event
insertCommand.Parameters["@Commentary"].Value = "
" + Commentary.Value + "
";

If I entered into the HTML input box, for example

*

*new line 1

*new line 2

*New line 3

It puts that into the SQL field as  - new line 1  - new line 2  - new line 3
How do I keep things like line breaks? I will be displaying the data in a table, so I want to keep things such as line breaks.
Thanks,

A: It does not changes formatting. All required symbols are there. But if you are looking at it in MS Sql Server Management studio it won't show you formatting.  At the same time you should be able to select it from database later and put on your page. And formatting will be kept.

A: Besides this, you may also run into html encoding issues.
So you may wanna check the HttpUtility.HtmlEncode class.
Though this does not encode whitespace, you can do a simple String.Replace on top of the encoding like this:
HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(Commentary.Value).Replace("\n", "
")

A: you can use this code
var reader = new StringReader(Commentary.Text);

string line;
while(null != (line = reader.ReadLine())
{
 ...
}


Have you ever wondered how to protect your API Management infrastructure against cyberattacks using Artificial Intelligence (AI)? This webinar has you covered! Laura Heritage, Senior Director, Product Line Manager at Axway joins Bernard Harguindeguy, CEO and Founder of Elastic Beam (and now CTO at Ping Identity) host the insightful webinar. In this blog post, we recap how the partnership with Axway and Ping Identity protects against API attacks. Read how APIs and AI can be complementary.
Axway AMPLIFY™ Platform is the data integration and engagement platform providing capabilities for message file transfer, content collaboration and API Management. AMPLIFY API Management is a foundational capability of the AMPLIFY platform enabling hybrid integration.
AMPLIFY API Management provides you with a myriad of possibilities: For starters, you can use API Builder to build microservice based APIs and Orchestration. This allows you to have rapid Rest API creation and orchestration, data connectors with the ability to turn any OAS described service into a connector, and API mockup. Key to the API Management infrastructure solution is the API Gateway, giving you REST SOAP API creation, REST to SOAP transformations and vice versa, Light ESB, along with visual mapper. The API Gateway provides you with over 200 policies in the Axway policy library to secure your APIs. These services help protect your APIs in the full spectrum threats and attacks. Read more how API Management works here.
Further advantages of the API Management system including the ability to visualize and govern your APIs. API Manager contains an API Catalog and provides API Lifecycle Management with simplified policies for your REST APIs such as OAuth and OpenID Connect. The API Manager also includes partner management and the ability to monitor the consumption of your APIs.
Another feature to AMPLIFY API Management is the ability to consume with a customizable API Portal. API Portal provides the following capabilities; branding and customization, self-service onboarding, API Discovery and trial, client APP creation and authorization, client SDK Generator, blogs and forums. Furthermore, you can measure your APIs with the embedded analytics this gives you predictive insights on your technical and business users, API usage and health baselines.
Thanks to AMPLIFY, you can protect your APIs to their greatest abilities. It's available in a hybrid cloud format so you can have it in the cloud or on-premise and the Axway cloud. This helps with integration, security, control and acceleration.
Ping Identity's "PingIntelligence" gives you the capability to drop Artificial Intelligence (AI) based policies into the Axway API Gateway to enable AI based API cybersecurity controls. PingIntelligence complements Axway security by dropping in their AI policies into the Axway API Gateway.
With AI, you can identify cyberattacks on APIs within minutes instead of months or years after being continually attacked and finally revealed by the attacker themselves. Once an attack has been identified you have the option to either automatically block the attack through the Axway API gateway or move the attack to an API Honeypot. PingIntelligence also provides, on top of Axway's analytics, deep API traffic visibility for Ops, compliance and Forensic reports. By dropping in existing deployment via configuration policy, you have operational simplicity, along with high-scale performance.
Together with Axway, Ping Identity works to fight cybersecurity. Cyberattacks can be difficult to detect. But thanks to today's AI capabilities to recognize hackers and identify the source, you can be protected.
Many reasons come into play as to why API security is such a difficult problem to treat. For one thing, high traffic volumes across many APIs can make it difficult to detect a large mix of inbound client activity, legitimate clients–expected activity used to access API services, high-velocity attackers, attempts to disrupt services, gather content, etc. All these situations come into play.
Hackers with valid credentials can blend in while maliciously accessing API services. The goal of AI-based cybersecurity is to be able to identify these attacks based on machine-learning of how your API is typically used then stopping the attacks. A similar analogy would be how your credit card company knows you can't be making a purchase in San Francisco the same time you are making a purchase in Dublin Ireland. The credit card company alerts you right away to verify and stop the attack to prevent further damage.
A solution to the rescue!
How do you protect your client or your account? Axway and Ping Identity's solution helps to stop an attack disruption by preventing cloud/DC performance problems and costly ops snafus. This system proves exhaustive reporting on all API activity to satisfy the client. You can secure your APIs from cyberattacks with Axway and Ping Identity via AI for Axway API Management infrastructure. The solution provides you with identity protection and automatically blocks cyberattacks on APIs for access control, data systems and apps connected. Furthermore, Ping offers API Deception/Honeypot (decoys) for instant hacking detection, along with deep API traffic visibility for insight into API usage for Ops, Compliance and forensic reports.
The solution drops in existing deployments via configuration policy: Operational simplicity, high-scale and performance, or self-learned security. This helps with on-premise or cloud, private/public/hybrid deployments. With little to do in setup and configuration, the solution is easy to manage. Along with an API enforcer and API Cluster, data goes straight to the backend. This provides the ability so that any attack is passed into the API Gateway to block problems. All traffic information is stored in the database and where extensive reporting can help you visualize what's happening. This provides you with no security rules or policies to write. You can identify behaviors that are not normal, providing continuous protection via AI-powered API attacks detection.
Be in the know on cyberattacks. Watch this webinar on demand to learn more about how Axway and Ping Identity help stop cyberattacks in their tracks.

Need a flavorful meal, but don't have time to cook? Your family will love this mouth-watering meal, and it smells delicious cooking all day in your kitchen. You can serve it on a whole-wheat bun or with a small side of pasta or spaghetti squash.
In a small bowl, mix together the diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sauté for about 2 minutes per side until brown. Remove from the pan.
Layer the green peppers and onions on the bottom of the crock pot.
Place the Italian sausage links on top of the pepper and onion mixture. Pour frozen Italian vegetables on top of Italian sausage.
Pour the diced tomatoes mixture on top of the Italian sausage.
Place the cover on the crock pot. Cook on low setting for 6 hours or until done (cooking times vary based on the crock pot).


User manuals are in PDF format and external links take you to the manufacturers websites.
Choosing speakers for your event can be a tricky subject due to the wide range of options we offer and the large number of variables such as their intended use, the potential audience size, the venue and the style of music or speech for which they will be used. A guide to the best options can be found on the "Help Choosing Speakers" page but we are always happy to offer advice over the phone if you can supply us with your requirements.
150w per channel output, suitable for ceremonies, children's parties, background music in small venues, conferences and presentations or stage monitoring. Supplied with speaker stands and cables.
200w per channel output with a very sweet tone in a compact package, suitable for PA duties for speeches and background music in small to medium venues. Their white colour makes them ideal for weddings or events where a standard black cabinet might be less appealing on the eye. Supplied with speaker stands and cables.
These are really compact speakers that would either fit well in a house party and fill it with sound with ease, do duty as frontline PA for a solo performer or duet, or even act as high quality PA at a conference, presentation or awards ceremony. Their modest size belies the immense 131db SPL / 1100w output (peak – 700w continuous). Three separate and mixable sets of inputs allow for their use without the need of an external mixer in many cases making them a hugely valuable tool in so many situations.
An extremely high-power loudspeaker that is capable of producing a maximum SPL of 132dB with its impressive 1100W of power. It is the perfect solution for live sound applications that demand wide bandwidth and extremely high-resolution sound. They are loud enough to fill a medium to large sized hall, comfortably coping with an audience of up to 170. They have an extensive range of connections on the rear panel enabling you to connect up to 3 separate sources at any one time and then feed on to a second speaker in stereo or mono as required. Supplied with speaker stands and cables.
Matching the DXR speakers above this adds substantial bottom end and sound re-inforcement – 950w – making a PA to be used for even larger audiences. Although ideally matched with the above, they could also be easily used with other mid/high speakers to add more grunt!
With a truly remarkable sound output of 800w (peak – 400w Continuous) per channel, a pair of these speakers is loud enough for discos and parties in small to medium sized halls, but in a relatively compact package. Suitable for audiences of up to 110 people for standard party music. For enhanced sound reinforcement response in a live environment or dance music with deep bass consider adding one or two matching sub-woofers – see below.
Supplied with speaker stands and cables.
A compact 1200w (peak – 600w RMS) 15" subwoofer that is both portable and powerful. Ideal for sound reinforcement for a band or larger parties and discos, particularly for bass heavy and dance music or live sound. Ideally matched with the Alto Truesonic series but perfectly at home with other speakers, they have an inbuilt crossover that filters out the low frequencies and sends just the mid and high range signals to the tops through a dedicated output. Available as single cabinets or as a pair. Supplied with all necessary cables.
An active speaker specifically designed to be the everyday tool for professional musicians. Outputting an impressive 1400w at 131dB SPL at max it will comfortably cope with the mid and high duties for a rock band in small to medium sized halls. Its substantial 2.5" voice coil in a 12" woofer and 3.0" neodymium horn loaded compression driver contained in a birch cabinet results in a smooth high-end sound. It's one of the most flexible speakers for deploying high-quality sound as a stand-alone FOH system or as a satellite (with subwoofer) but also as a stage monitor or a or a front, down or side fill speaker.
This the ideal choice when line array performance is needed and a fast and easy set-up a must. A 1400 W 2-channel class-D amplifier powers the system which boasts a powerful DSP to process the sound including crossover, phase correction, limiting and protection, outputting 131dB. The system features state-of-the-art RCF transducers – two powerful 6.0" woofers for a solid bass reproduction plus a high powered 1.7" voice coil compression driver mounted on a precise 100° x 10° waveguide delivers vocal clarity with high definition and an incredible dynamic in a truly tiny package. They can be stacked up to 3 elements on the optional pole mount or ground stacked or flown in longer arrays using the optional fly bar. Ideally matched to the SUB 8004-AS subwoofer.
One of the most powerful single 18" subwoofers in the pro-sound category. Featuring a high power, hypervented 18" woofer, with 4" inside/outside voice coils, this baltic birch cabinet is designed to deliver a serious amount of low frequency. Powered by a 1250W digital amplifier module (2500W peak) outputting a maximum of 136dB, the SUB 8004-AS can perform in the most demanding situations. The input board includes volume control, deep/punch switch, high pass switch, phase switch, cardioid, time delay.
This active subwoofer is a powerful subwoofer where compactness and high sound levels are required at the same time. The SUB 905-AS has the most advanced RCF woofer technology, coupled with a powerful 2200W (peak) digital amplifier. It offers the perfect blend of bass reproduction dropping to 40Hz, high SPL – 133dB max – and compact dimensions for mobile use by bands or DJs.
As well as a chunky 760w output going down to 42hz, this sub offers a hugely tuneful bottom end to any source. It has built in mono/stereo cross-overs so it can be used with virtually any top in either singles or pairs but is ideally matched to the EV SxA range of speakers as detailed above, creating a fantastic and powerful full range PA. Despite being fairly heavy it is still easy to move due to it's 4 inbuilt casters.
These newly launched speakers deliver a phenomenally loud output of 128db from 1000w of power with a frequency range that drops as low as 42Hz making them brilliant all rounders in both a live or party environment with great bass extension. They also have a wide 90° horizontal dispersion giving them excellent room coverage. There is an inbuilt digital sound processing system with 4 selectable EQ settings making it a breeze to set up for your particular music style. They also boast excellent connectivity for most types of inputs and the ability to mix between line and stereo sources..
Able to handle 1,000 watts as a stand-alone cabinet, this ultra efficient 15'/1' full range mid/ high unit is one of the loudest reference speaker in its class. It features an asymmetrical horn with an optimized the coverage pattern that is wider up front and grows more directed with distance, thereby achieving greater range. The sound from it gives a remarkable amount of bass response, dropping as low as 48Hz, making it quite capable of offering a very full sound on it's own even, when used without sub-woofers, to a small to medium audience for either small bands or DJs.
Equipped with a sixth-order double bandpass crossover, the L Sub 2000 A is the perfect reinforcement for Linear 5 tops. Its low end performance in the 50-120 Hz range is most impressive, but will drop as low as 39Hz for really deep bass. It sports two 12' high-excursion woofers. This speaker's 2.5' voice coil comes with a state-of-the-art cooling system and a dual spider suspension to keep it perfectly centred. A newly developed 1,200-watt, Class-D power amp drives these speakers. When paired with the LS115 tops above, you have a truly powerful set-up capable of entertaining very good sized audiences up to 250 people with one sub or 350 as a pair. These are large speakers and will require a large estate car or van to transport them.
Housed in a multipurpose enclosure, this speaker is tuned to deliver the highest sound pressure levels (135 dB SPL peak). The L5 112 XA also makes an excellent monitor with a plenty of gain before feedback. A switchable filter also configures it for use as a top unit (adding long range capability) in systems with Linear SUB A units. Its rotatable 60° x 40° CD horn provides the right coverage pattern for each scenario.
This active stage wedge, outputs 350w at 124db, making it loud enough for musicians to hear themselves on small to medium stages without problem. It has both jack and XLR inputs and an XLR link output for daisy chaining to other units.

This project was created on 09/09/2014 and last updated 5 hours ago.
The Teensy Audio Library is an ambitious software project, to make sound synthesis, playback, and analysis easy. The library provides many virtual audio processing objects, all with real-time 16 bit, 44 kHz audio streaming, while your Arduino sketch runs. Simple functions from your Arduino sketch can control the audio objects, to start/stop playback, trigger notes, adjust waveform parameters, read FFT & other analysis data, and much more.
Digital I2S input & output are provided, and a shield is available to convert to high quality analog signals. Analog output is also possible (simultaneously) from a 12 bit DAC and PWM pins, and analog input can also arrive by an ADC pin.
A browser-based tool lets you design a virtual audio system, and export it to source code for your Arduino sketch. Then you control the audio system by calling functions in setup() and loop().
Some projects need a lot of audio I/O. Maybe you're doing positional audio sound effects (using the 8-tap delay effect) where ordinary stereo or even 5 channel "surround" isn't enough? Maybe you're making the ultimate Eurorack synthesizer module? Or you just want a lot of signals, because you can!
Here's a board for the Cirrus Logic CS42448 chip, which provides 6 inputs and 8 outputs. All are high quality audio, and all work simultaneously.
Normally digital audio is communicated between chips using I2S protocol (which is different than I2C, despite the similar acronym). Two I2S streams can be used for quad channel, but to really step up to more channels, you need TDM protocol.
TDM, which stands for Time Division Multiplexing, communicates a frame of 256 data bits. For 44.1 kHz, this means the bit clock must be 11.3 MHz. Only 4 signals are used, one to transmit all 256 bits and another to receive all 256, a frame sync signal the marks where each 256 bit frame begins, and of course the 11.3 MHz clock.
Here is the TDM waveform documented by Cirrus Logic for the CS42448 chip.
During this test, the code below was running. The output from Teensy is the blue trace. It sends a 16 bit guitar synthesis to CS42448 AOUT1 & AOUT2. Because the CS42448 outputs are 32 bits, but the audio is only 16 bits you can see the lower 16 bits are always zero. Most of the rest of the output is zeros, except this example also brings in AIN1 and sends its top 16 bits to AOUT5 and its lower 16 bits to AOUT6.
Of course, the green trace is the data being received from the CS42448. All 6 inputs were left unconnected. Even through the channel slots of 32 bits, the CS42448 only produces 24 bits of data, and its lower 8-9 bits are mostly random noise. This PCB uses only the simplest single-ended input circuit. The better opamp-based differential circuit documented in the CS42448 could be expected to improve performance.
TDM support has recently been added to the Teensy Audio Library. It's accessed by creating AudioInputTDM and AudioOutputTDM objects.
Each AudioInputTDM creates 16 simultaneous inputs. Like all communication in the Teensy Audio Library, the data is 16 bits wide. 16 of these channels gives access to all 256 incoming TDM bits. For CS42448, only channels 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10 would be really useful.
Likewise, each AudioOutputTDM object can accept 16 simultaneous 16 bit audio streams, to fully control all 256 bits of the TDM output frame. For CS42448, only the 8 even numbered channels are useful.
You might think sustained 11.3 Mbit/sec communication would be difficult on a microcontroller, but it turns out Teensy's digital audio port with FIFO and its DMA engine make this quite easy and efficient. Yes, really!
Development of the audio software support is being discussed on this forum thread. If you make one of these boards, please join the conversation!
Thanks to a great contribution from Frank and Ben, the PT8211 DAC which sells for about 20 cents is now supported. They even put in 4X oversampling, so you get nice-looking waveforms at higher audio frequencies with only a simple analog low-pass filter.
You can now place AudioInputUSB and AudioOutputUSB objects in your Arduino sketch and connect them to any of the other Teensy Audio Library stuff. Any sound send to a AudioOutputUSB object arrives on your PC/Mac as if you'd connected a line-in. Sound your PC plays (if the Teensy's audio is selected in your sound control panel) arrives at the AudioInputUSB object.
Within the next few weeks, a Teensyduino beta test installer will be published, to make trying this much simpler. But if you'd like to give this a try, of course you can download the stuff from github and copy to the correct location within your copy of Arduino, and edit boards.txt to make Audio appear in the Tools > USB Type menu.
At this very early stage, the design tool hasn't been updated with these new objects. You'll need to edit the audio objects right in your sketch. The simplest way involves using the I2S objects and then you just change from I2S to USB.
Today I added 4 channel I2S output support to the library.
Teensy sends 4 audio channels simultaneously.
To use it, you need 2 audio shields... or 2 of anything else that takes I2S digital audio input. With the audio shields, a small hardware mod is needed on the 2nd shield, to route the 2nd stereo data stream to its input, and to configure for a different I2C address to you can control is separately from the 1st board.
Conversation about the development is on this forum thread. The design tool has been updated with "i2s_quad", so you can easily use it with whatever 4 audio channels you can design. The library has a simple example sketch that plays 2 WAV files to both outputs at the same time.
Maybe I ought to create more examples? What things would you like to have 4 channel audio output do?
Nine Second CD Quality Audio Delay!
Frank's 6-chip Memoryboard (version 4) was tested today. It works great!
The audio library (latest on github) now supports this hardware.
Here's a simple test where it delayed a beep sound, with copies output at 8 and 9 seconds.
Sound delays this long are really surreal. Delays in the 1-2 second range are about as long as our brains are ever used to hear in the natural world.
It's like nothing happened, like the project is doing nothing and not working and you give up waiting (at least it's way beyond my attention span for stuff working) and then there's the beep, exactly like it was several seconds ago!
Here's a demo of the new delay line feature, using external ram chip(s).
Thanks mostly to Frank B, we now have direct S/PDIF output from the Teensy Audio Library!
Here's a detailed blog article.
You can get optical TOSLINK digital audio with a $1 connector (Digikey 1080-1434-ND) or just a red LED shining into the optical cable.
In the photo above, the TOSLINK connector is mounted on this OSH Park PCB (under $2 for three of them).
The S/PDIF output is also now supported by the Audio System Design Tool, so you can just connect it to whatever complex audio system you like, to get S/PDIF digital output!
Here's the lengthy forum thread where this development was discussed.
Version 1.0, the first stable release, is now available.
Is 16 bit 44 kHz digital audio really possible on Arduino?
I'm sure anyone familiar with Arduino must be skeptical.
16 bit, 44 kHz streaming, not just 1 input or output for monophonic playing, but many simultaneous streams between dozens of virtual objects, with I2S digital audio streaming to an external ADC/DAC/Codec is FAR beyond what anyone has done on the Arduino platform before.
The "catch", or the key enabling technology, is the 32 bit ARM Cortex-M4 processor and Freescale's eDMA engine (on Teensy 3.1). This more powerful hardware, and a LOT of work in this library, make this tremendous increase in audio streaming possible.
ARM's Cortex-M4 processor has special DSP (Digital Signal Processing) instructions, which this library uses to dramatically speed up computationally intensive operations, like filters, mixing, linear interpolation, etc. It also has a burst memory access mode which accelerates transfer of small groups of audio samples.
The DMA engine is the other key enabling hardware. Without DMA, the CPU would need to handle each piece of data streaming on & off chip. Even on a fast ARM microcontroller, 44100 interrupts per second burns a lot of CPU time. Fortunately, the DMA engine can automatically move data between memory and the on-chip hardware. It generates an interrupt only when half or all of a 128 sample block is complete. The fast ARM processor can easily handle 689 interrupts/second. It also allows other interrupt-based Arduino libraries to used together with audio. As long as their interrupts complete reasonably fast (as most do), they don't cause audio glitches, because the DMA engine keeps the data flowing.
The library is designed to make efficient use of the hardware. The live streaming between objects is actually implemented by passing shared, reference-counted buffers. When the output of one object streams to the inputs on several others, shared copy-on-write memory management is used, to avoid memory-to-memory copying as much as is possible.
Of course, there always are limits. This is a low power microcontroller, afterall. The library efficiently implements CPU usage tracking on all objects. Your Arduino sketch can query each object, to get its current and worst-ever CPU usage, or the total usage for all objects.
For example, the pink noise generator takes 3%. The 1024 point FFT object uses bursts of 52% (a future version may smooth its usage over time). Simple effects like the AHDSR envelope are well under 1%. The Synthesis/PlaySynthMusic, which generates 16 simultaneous waveforms, routed to 16 simultaneous AHDSR envelopes, and then mixed down to stereo output by six 4-channel mixes, consumes a worst case CPU usage of 31%.
I've been working on this library for about 1 year, and dreaming & planning it much, much longer. It's getting close to *finally* a 1.0 release. So many other audio projects have required PC-class hardware, or suffered low quality sound and difficult limitations on what an Arduino sketch can do while sound plays. I'm really excited to finally have a solution for the world that will make high quality sound easy on microcontrollers!
Hello, is the generated code portable to other processors that have I2S, FPU, or DSP instructions? Also can depth be modified up and down ? I own several of your products but haven't used the Audio Shield yet.
No, not really. The input & output code depends on the specific I2S hardware and DMA engine on Teensy 3.x. Many of the data processing features depend on the ARM Cortex-M4 DSP extension instructions. It won't run on lesser ARM cores, nor on non-ARM chips like ESP.
Hi Paul, can I ask what you used to design your web-based GUI tool? I have a project that needs something similar, where the users draw a graph between different shapes, but I'm still quite new to web-based GUIs. Thanks, and great work!
It's called Node Red. Here's the site.
Here's a link to the original proposal to use this, back in the summer of 2014.
This message was the very first screenshot as I started to hack (or "butcher") the Node Red code.
Thanks! very helpful! Great work!
Probably best to ask this on the forum.
You can get a pretty good idea of the library's features by fiddling with the design tool.
In the "synth" and "effects" section is a collection of stuff for synthesis of waveforms, applying envelopes, etc. Over time, more objects will be added, so if your project really need something that's missing, best to chat about it on the forum.
Sorry for being a bit lazy with this question, but is the library capable of acting as a basic MIDI "analog synth"? And also respond well to attack, and constant breath/expression controller messages.
I would love to be able to have a more customisable audio generation IC for my woodwind project. I'm planning on using a basic MIDI codec IC for my "practice" mode (when untethered to a real MIDI Synth, computer, etc).
Bela is an open source platform for building musical instruments, interactive installations, sound-making robotics, embedded DSP.
You are about to report the project "Teensy Audio Library", please tell us the reason.

Distrust your customer - Then and now (updated)
With the DRM debate heating up again on the blog very recently, I thought I might take a short look back on the history of dicking over customers while leaving pirates laughing.
I don't know much about early software copy protections for home computers, nor whether there were any inconveniences for the customers - I was pre-teen by the time I first played on the C64 and I didn't even know such a thing as legit copies did exist for the machine. So I can at least say one thing - it didn't work, just like most of the following examples didn't work. So I'm gonna jump right to physical means of copy protection. Making the manual a requirement in order to properly play a game dates back to the seventies. It wasn't always about stopping piracy, though. It won't be hard to believe that the early RPG Apshai put most of its "ingame" descriptions in the manual in 1979 just because of memory constraints. I'd be more suspicious about Pool of Radiance doing the same 9 years later, though.
Too long for a floppy disk?
Of course there were more blatant (and less effective) ways, too. Who doesn't remember all the "Type in word 7 in line 5 on page 25 from the manual" copy protections? Honest customers were leafing through the manuals, pirates had their handy list of all the possible keywords, or maybe even a version with the inquiry hacked out of the code completely.
More likeable were companies like Infocom and Sierra, who hid invaluable hints in interesting and funny flavor material, like faux advertisement flyers, lost journals and whatnot.
Don't forget to check the flight schedule before you start globetrotting(Leisure Suit Larry 5)
Then came the greatest atrocity of physical copy protection: The code wheel. Pools of Radiance was an offender here as well, but it became somewhat popular with publishers, and survived into the early nineties.
The code wheel most people remember would be The Secret of Monkey Island's "Dial-a-pirate". People who bought the game had to dread wrong dials, broken and lost codewheels, pirates skipped right into the game. In fact, even Lucas Arts distributed a hacked version in later compilations, as the costs to produce the wheel weren't warranted by the possible earnings, anymore.
Which year was this pirate hanged in Tortuga?
But like all times come to an end, so did the time of gamers being worth physical appendices, at least in the eyes of publishing companies, so copy production had to return to software solutions, as well. And here's where the real trouble began. Were many of the previous methods quite inconvenient, modern CD copy protection brought a whole new "feature": Games that couldn't be brought to run at all on certain machines thanks to the protection routines. I can explicitly remember 4 PC titles (but I had even more) I bought legitimately, but couldn't play or needed to find a crack in order to run them. Cue for my mantra: Pirated copies of course were usually cracked from the get-go for the illegal "customer".
Yeah, fuck you too, game.
UPDATE: I forgot to talk about a variation of this in the first place: Games that fake to be playable even when the copy protection triggers, but work in a number of "bugs" to take all the fun out of the game. I first learned about this when The Settlers 3 came out, which turned all the iron produced in an iron cast into pigs, among many other things. This may have caused some confusion with people who played pirated copies during the first few days after the game's release, but imagine the confusion of legit customers getting shit like that, as this time the copy protection would backfire without them knowing.
The most grotesque excrescence of this type would be that one Japanese hentai game that reportedly scans PCs for private data and uploads them on the internet when it decides the copy played to be illegal. Given the record how well this type of protection works, it can be considered guaranteed that normal customers will end up there, and it can only be hoped that they even notice it at all, in order to sue that company to kingdom come ...
And now we have DRM, which brings even more inconveniences to the customers by forcing them to consume completely unrelated products (internet connections with single player games), whereas the pirates... well, they keep on pirating, as always.
Oh, by the way, the first picture is from the CES fair in summer 1990. I gotta say there's more elegant ways to protect your display handhelds from theft...

Wouldn't it make sense for companys to simply hire the main pirates and hackers?
Digital media can be endlessly, effortlessly replicated. It is not scarce. To a lot of people, this still seems like witchcraft. Whoever can design actual business models for the current age will do well. Dinosaurs who cling to old, broken models will be hunting witches until they're extinct.
I don't think huge, publicly traded publishers have the attention span to understand the problem.
cj_iwakura April 26, 2010 at 1:36 PM
Monkey Island 2 used the Mix'n Mojo wheel, too. I never knew about Dial A Pirate, since I played Monkey Island 1 on the Sega CD.
(That must put me in some kind of minority..)
A long time ago I had problems getting the PC version of David Braben's V2000 to work due to the game's copy protection. The publisher's support was unable to help and said it was the biggest issue with the game, and that Frontier wouldn't help either. Eventually I found a cracked version, and the tech support guy was very grateful when I passed it along.
derboo April 26, 2010 at 5:16 PM
That story with the technical support is just gold.
MGS with its infamous codec on the CD case.
Classic!
DeeMer April 26, 2010 at 6:08 PM
I'd totally play a game where dinosaurs had to hunt witches. Or pirate witches. Or where witches got to hunt dinosaurs.
Antoni Kaniowski April 27, 2010 at 6:54 AM
So what kind of business model can bring an aswer to this issue?
I wonder if the contemporary methods will result in a higher percent of legit copies amongst players than when a code from the booklet was needed.
I would argue that it won't make a difference, just brings about the rage of enthusiasts like us.
Sketcz April 27, 2010 at 2:17 PM
Great entry.
@anon:
MGS with the codec was more about meta gaming, and messing with your mind, than copy protection though.
Bicro April 27, 2010 at 7:33 PM
Awww, but I loved code wheels!
They were just so...mysterious.
I initially forgot to talk about a certain type of protection, but I added it now ...
Lenslok, anyone?
I've also encountered at least one C64 copy-protection scheme that reformatted the floppy disk if it decided it wasn't an original. Not quite as insane as it sounds, as the original disks were physically permanently write-protected.
LandRoverAttack April 29, 2010 at 5:23 PM
That Japanese hentai game thing wasn't actually a DRM scheme, just a virus that was distributed with the pirated version by a third party. You might say this was done by the publisher, but the data it stole from the victims was used in a quite illegal extortion scheme, so that probably wouldn't be a very good idea...

Dartmouth undergrads who are considering careers in science have a chance to "apprentice" themselves to mentors at DMS and actually sample the culture of life in a lab. Here is a look at several such pairings—through the eyes of two undergraduates who took on apprenticeships of a different sort.
"So Can You"
By William B. Toms, M.D., M.P.H.
Family physician Bill Toms has been listening for the stories his patients tell ever since he began tending to their aches, pains, and dying wishes. Now retired from Dartmouth-Hitchcock, he helps medical students use writing as a way to learn how to be a better doctor.

Other attendees included, from the left, DHMC Board Chair Alfred Griggs, former MHMH President James Varnum, and former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.
Many alumni attended the gala. Clockwise from the left rear are Linda Coffin '76;Theresa Bryant, director of alumni relations; Pearl O'Rourke '73; Madelyn and Charles (Ph.D. '70) Wira; Sarah Johansen '89; Amy Schrom, director of annual giving; and John Buckner '67.

Alumni and students also enjoyed a picnic at the Wiras' Plainfield, N.H., home. On the far left is Alumni Council President Mark Northfield '91.
The financial goal of the Transforming Medicine Campaign for Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is to raise $250 million by 2009. Even more far-reaching is its goal of "raising the bar" in medicine.Of questioning assumptions—respecting tradition but not following it blindly. Of erasing boundaries—translating science from the lab bench to the bedside by connecting researchers with clinicians.Of creating solutions to the nation's most critical health-care issues. Of transforming medicine.
The Transforming Medicine Campaign has reached an exciting milestone, with gift commitments now surpassing $200 million. The Transforming Medicine gala in mid-May epitomized the energy and momentum driving the Campaign and itself raised over $1.1 million for the C. Everett Koop Medical Science Complex.The Campaign total to date includes 15 gift commitments of $1 million or more.These lead gifts are supporting a variety of campaign priorities—including endowed scholarships and professorships; cancer care and research at Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center; special programs at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth; innovative mental health initiatives; palliative-care efforts; and the collaborative, translational research that will eventually move into the Koop Medical Science Complex.
