Human-animal Mixing Going Too Far, Report Says

Scientists are going too far in creating mixed human-animal organisms, a Scottish organization is warning.
The Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, a professional group based in Edinburgh, has published a report on the ethical implications of the practice in the journal Human Reproduction and Genetic Ethics. The report is online at www.schb.org.uk.
An artist's concept of what a human-dog hybrid might look like. The strange creatures are part of a sculpture by Australian artist Patricia Piccinini entitled "The Young Family," produced to spark reflection on the perils of creating human-animal mixtures.
"Crossing the human species barrier is a procedure that has always fascinated humanity," noted the report, made public Tuesday and written in light of draft legislation on human embryology being prepared by the U.K. Department of Health, to be published this summer.
Ancient Greek mythology speaks of monsters such as the Minotaur—a man with a bull's head—and centaurs, mixtures of humans and horses.
But creatures of this nature may not remain confined to mythology for long, as scientists have begun tentatively creating mixed organisms. An array of experiments have produced animals with some human cells, for instance.
Such procedures "mix human and animal biological elements to such an extent that it questions the very concept of being entirely human," the report said. This raises "grave and complex ethical difficulties."
Some ethicists worry that the experiments might force society to make confounding decisions on whether, say, a human-chimp mix would have human rights. Other concerns are that such a creature could suffer from being outcast as a "monster," from having a chimp as its biological father or mother, or from unusual health problems.
Some inter-species mixtures are powerful research tools, the report said.
This "became clear about a decade ago in a series of dramatic experiments in which small sections of brains from developing quails were taken and transplanted into the developing brains of chickens. The resulting chickens exhibited vocal trills and head bobs unique to quails, proving that the transplanted parts of the brain contained the neural circuitry for quail calls. It also offered astonishing proof that complex behaviours could be transferred across species."
Later research has spawned human-animal creations, the report said. These usually die at the embryonic stage, but often survive if the mixtures involve only a few cells or genes transferred from one species to another.
The council cited the following examples:
In 2003, scientists at Cambridge University, U.K. conducted experiments involving fusing the nucleus of a human cell into frog eggs. The stated aim was to produce rejuvenated "master cells" that could be grown into replacement tissues for treating disease. It was not clear whether fertilization took place, but "some kind of development was initiated," the report said.
In 2005, U.K. scientists transplanted a human chromosome into mouse embryos. The newly born mice carried copies of the chromosome and were able to pass it on to their own young.
The company Advanced Cell Technologies was reported, in 1999, to have created the first human embryo clone by inserting a human cell nucleus into a cow's egg stripped of chromosomes. The result was an embryo that developed and divided for 12 days before being destroyed.
Panayiotis Zavos, the operator of a U.S. fertility laboratory, reported in 2003 that he had created around 200 cow-human hybrid embryos that lived for about two weeks and grew to several hundred cells in size, beyond the stage at which cells showed the first signs of developing into tissues and organs.
In 2003, Hui Zhen Sheng of Shanghai Second Medical University, China, announced that rabbit-human embryos had been created by fusing human cells with rabbit eggs stripped of their chromosomes. The embryos developed to the approximately 100-cell stage that forms after about four days of development.
The council made 16 recommendations, including that it should be illegal to mix animal and human sperm and eggs, or to create an embryo containing cells consisting of both human and animal chromosomes.
"The fertilisation of animal eggs with human sperm should not continue to be legal in the U.K. for research purposes," said Calum MacKellar, the council's director of research.
"Most people are not aware that these kinds of experiments have been taking place in the U.K. and find it deeply offensive. Parliament should follow France and Germany and prohibit the creation of animal-human hybrid embryos."
In a report published in 2004, the President's Council on Bioethics in the United States also advocated prohibiting the creation of animal-human embryos by uniting human and animal eggs and sperm. A draft law introduced in U.S. Congress by Senator Samuel Brownback (R-Kan.) would outlaw the creation of human-animal mixtures.
A 2005 report from the U.K. House of Commons Science and Technology Committee takes a more liberal stance, saying such embryos could be legal for research purposes if they are destroyed within 14 days.
"While there is revulsion in some quarters that such creations appear to blur the distinction between animals and humans, it could be argued that they are less human than, and therefore pose fewer ethical problems for research than fully human embryos," the committee wrote.

I suppose their motives are to use their organs for human benefits? Are there any other alterior motives? I've heard that we would have made the monkeys slaves had they had an opposing thumb. Gosh, do you know what the ethics board is saying about all this? Where do we draw the line?
What gets me in the US, is that we have to give permission for someone to use our organs once we're dead, to save someone else's life. Even if we give permission, our family can still contest it! Hello? We're just deteriorating into dust... why don't they just take it anyway! Now they think it is more humane to treat animals like this than to just get what they need from a dying person? How does that make senes?

It's kinda complicated. Doctors might stop treatment on a person that could have been saved because they can be seen as a bag of organs. Transplants, as far as I know, are expensive and the organs are as well. Without permission problems can arise. I personally am for permission. I'm just saying if I'm in an accident I want to make sure that the doctors focus more on saving me than my organs.
This artwork is kinda creepy, and yet beautiful at the same time. I just love the realism in this art and it envokes a lot of emotions. Well done.

It's disgusting.
I feel a lot of medical science these days isn't done in the name of improving life, but in the name of "Let's just see how far we can go". We're reaching horror-movie proportions - our science will irresponsibly grow ever farther to the point of which we can no longer control it. And what's really terrible is that there doesn't seem to be a good point behind why we're doing this.
It IS "playing God". Whether you believe in God or not, it's not right for the human mind to assume that it can do anything without serious consequences. Just see where certain "advancements" in science have gotten us before: We've developed weapons so devastating that we keep trying to encourage and poke each other not to use them while all the while insisting that we should have the right to keep our own. This is what I'm talking about. We have no idea of the implications of what we're doing, only in this case "curiosity as to see what happens" isn't a valid excuse to do what we are doing, IMO.
Not that I'm against science - not at all; of course not. Science is one of the glories of the world. But we need to regulate it instead of allowing it to turn into Frankenstein and blowing the world to pieces.
Just making sure you know it is just artwork.
I'm not sure if I'm against it or for it yet. I just hope when it happens, probably will, the creature won't be in pain or tormented by society. Would I be able to actually be around or talk to a hybrid human? No.

I wouldn't agree on something like this. It's one of those lines that mankind should cross. There are times when I feel that some scientist want to pursue all sorts of outragious projects, but they never seem to think about the consequences. I feel the only purpose of medical science is to help improve humanity by curing diseases, and things like that.

Who knows? I mean there are some interesting and frightening things that could happen. I have read somewhere that they are trying to create a pig that is compatable with humans so they can use its organs for transplant. I find the whole thing scarey.
All Gods Fail
Still have any Gods? If so, who or what? :Bun-damentalist
God, I wish I could live another 100 years just to see what happens. Will humans be able to re-grow limbs like amphibians? Will we extend our lives to 100's of years? Will we augment our minds and bodies with bio-tech, genetic engineering, robotics? Will AI's, human hybrids be considered equals in society?
Or will we just kill ourselves off?
Uh oh, I see something like 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' happening with this...
However, I would love to have feline attributes: all the agility, speed, heightened senses...
But I doubt I would still look human.
Taylork, I doubt that a doctor is going to take a life! There are so many law suits that would erupt from that, they wouldn't dare! We could put video monitors and recordings in the surgery room, to validate justification. If I'm dying, brain dead, etc, just take my organs so the living can use them... instead of deteriorating into dust! Heck, if you or one of your family members were in need of a kidney or something... how would you feel about all these useful kidneys just deteriorating before your eyes? It's sad. This harvesting of human organs of those dead, seems to me, to be much more effective, efficient, and ethical, than abusing animal life.
Taylork, I doubt that a doctor is going to take a life!
What if I talked about his wife before I went under? Bet he would think about it!
I'm not worried about a doctor taking my life and more worried about them stopping treatment. Let's say I'm dying from a gunshot wound and the doctor sees that I'm an organ donor. I'm just worried that when they see the chance of me surviving is low they stop working on me instead of trying to save me until I died.
What's wrong with engineering pigs so we can have there organs? We eat them. Just seems like a better deal when I get a nice plate of bacon to go along with my brand new heart. That's good eaten
So anyway, what's wrong with wanting to create a new species?
The point is that life itself should not be treated as a commodity.
If I'm terminal and I have a couple of kidneys that are in good working order, by all means, you're welcome to them.
But if somebody needs a pair of kidneys....you create a human-animal hybrid to grow the kidneys, so you won't have to grow a human, since it's okay to kill a half-human....you kill the hybrid to harvest the kidneys......what have you won? You've merely ended one life for the sake of another. The death toll turns out the same.
Scientists often seem to believe that whatever biological creature they dream up - its life, emotions, and intelligence, don't matter. They often say this is so because as opposed to religious teaching, life to them isn't some miracle or sacred thing. Nothing more than a biological fact. It IS something to be toyed with. Which raises the question as to why scientists aren't donating their kidneys.
I'm going to hope you aren't a vegan/vegetarian or my example won't work. I believe we already treat life as a commodity when it concerns animals. I'm going to replace some words in your post to help get my point across.
"But if somebody needs a food....you create a big plot of land just so you can raise animals, so you can have unlimited food, so you won't ever worry about having a lack of food, since it's okay to kill an animal....you kill the animal to harvest them as food......what have you won? You've merely ended one life for the sake of another. The death toll turns out the same."
My example probably didn't work But I still don't get it. I see no difference in killing harvested animals for food and raising genetically engineered animals for organs (and possible food). One you kill a creature so a human can eat and another you kill a creature so one human can live. In both we treat life like a commodity. Do you feel killing animals for their organs is wrong because the creature created might have a near human intellegence so you shouldn't do it?

Taylork, I can see some merit to your position, yet... would you consider these aspects too?
Now that you have this hybrid animal, half human, to harvest its organs, are you going to eat the rest of him/her? Isn't that a bit like cannibalism?
Why don't you think that encouraging people, or just have a law to just take organs from people that can't be revived to life? If we have more scrutiny and documentation for people entering medical fascilites with life threatening conditions, we can be sure that doctors will strive to save that life, or go to jail, and/or face law suits that ensure they lose their licesnse and everything they own. What would be the problem then, as I don't see it as a valid problem now.
Don't you think it is quite narcissistic of humans to think it is ok to torture the life of other species, just so it can suit our whims, when other avenues are obvious? I think that we go too far now, in how we exploit animals for them as food. IMO, what we do to chickens will one day be looked upon by a future generation with absolute horror!
ewwww....point taken. I can see how it can be immoral now. But I think that when I'm on my death bed waiting for a heart my opinion would quickly change.
If that were so then I would agree. But it's very difficult to prove that a doctor couldn't strive to save a life. Not saying it couldn't happen but just imagine trying to prove to a judge that you did every single possible medical action in an attempt to save a life but couldn't so you felt it was okay to take his organs.
I do think it's very horrible how they treat animals like chickens so we can eat them. Go check out kentucky fried cruelty to see what I mean. http://www.kfccruelty.com/
I read some predictions of Futurist Magazine a few years ago. It was predicted that the abortion battles of the late 20th Centry would pale in comparison to the battles of the 21st Century. It was predicted that the biggest debates and battles would be over the definition of what is considered human and what is not.
Will people be killed, though, in the name of stopping this as they do with abortion? Or will it just be more of an intellectual and morality debate?
I feel sorry for the porr animals. It doesn't seem right to me. I put more stock in enginerring organs from scartch using complex frameworks. Science has made great progress in this area. Comparing the animal harvest with this cutting edge technology makes the former seem pretty barbaric, don't you think?
This all depends on the views that are held about a dead body. Is it sacred and untouchable or it just a rotting hunk of flesh and bone? Some religious groups are entirely opposed to simple procedures such as autopsies. They feel that it's disrepectful to the dead. I find this idea pretty silly.
This is true. Our organs are worth a buttload of money! I've heard of cases in other countries, nothing here, where people are abducted, a kidney removed and then thrown back on the street.
You know, you wouldn't even have to have a hybrid. You could manipulate the genes that control the brain so that they became smarter. With the chimp we now the areas where the differences are. We could xhange these areas to something similar to what they are with us and we'd have a chimp as smart as a human without the hybridization. I know it's not as easy as this but it's not that far away.
I think it's beautiful, too. But I don't think it's accurate. It doesn't look, at all, like a dog to me. It looks like strange water buffalo without the horns.
That is some pretty interesting stuff. Mixing human genes with animal genes? Only if they gave me wings. I see animal-human hybrids(assuming they become a reality) as the next cheap labor source. It would be the worst morality crisis in history. I would like to see some animal-animal combination concepts. That would be a cool picture .
Still have any Gods? If so, who or what? :possibly
I have to say I find that picture absolutely abhorrant At least if that thing was actually alive it certainly would be. How can you say it is beautiful? Would you still say that if it was alive and couldn't actually do anything except look at you with a dull glaze. I don't know how much feelings animals have but many would say a dog has many ... would you not feel for it!? eeuch! Its the stuff of nightmares
Having said that I am all for science and development of anything that would help life survive and fight disease and illness. But there is a line that should not be crossed
Just because it's a monster doesn't make the artwork any less beautiful. The model of the human/dog hybrid obviously envokes feeling in everyone and makes us think. Which is what art should do. I see pain in a creature that is almost human and I want to feel for it, whether it be pity or haterd I still feel something. Also you can see the pain in the creatures eyes and it seems vunerable even though it appears threatenening. I know personally how hard it is to envoke genuine emotion in artwork especially ones that are subtle. Also the pups in the picture look surprising close to human. The level of realism is so strong that i wasn't even sure if it was a real creature or not. The fact that is at a high level of realism, the feeling that comes to each of us when we see it, and emotions that you can see coming from the art work to me makes it beautiful. Or maybe I think it's beautiful because I can't create anything close to this myself
To help this make more sense pretend your child drew a creature that was intentionally ugly. When you looked at it, it was surprising realistic and very well done. Also she made her hideous creature sad looking and crying. Now do you tell her "I find that picture absolutely abhorrant". I hope not, I would say that the picture was beautiful and well done. It's beautiful to me because it's high level artwork. If the creature was real I couldn't see myself wanting to be around it unless I created it myself. If I made it I don't think I could help but love my creation.
As an artist, myself, I know exactly what you're talking about. As an author, I know it well, too. Just because the subject is bad doesn't mean beauty cannot be found. I'm instantly reminded of Schindler's List. The subject was horrible, disturbing and disgusting, but it was just made so incredibly well. It really seemed real. It sucked you right in and mde you feel like you were right there experinecing it all with them. That is good art!
I worked for many years in hospitals and I always felt that the dead were rather like empty houses. Who ever lived there was gone but I still treated the body with respect because it had been home to someones loved one. I always thought that I would have no problem with donating my organs or a loved ones organs. I knew that they would be put to good use, I even worked for the Eye Bank for awhile. But after my father died following a prolonged illness I refused to give permission for an autopsy. When the Doctor asked me why I had no GOOD answer it just seemed like they had hurt him so much when he was alive that they should just let him rest. Pretty silly when I look back on it but that was how I felt in the moment. Have any of you ever given permission for a loved ones organs to harvested? I was just wondering what your experences with the system were. I know that it seems easier when you are talking about it than that moment when you have to say goodbye and give permission. At least that is how is was for me.

Comix, I will say that when my father passed away, my mother refused to let them harvest any of his organs. The hospital seemed most interested in the 'skin', and I was saddened that my mother declined permission. Yet, her wishes were maintained. I suppose it is a difficult decision to be made. That is why I think they should make a law where they just take it... and we don't know, and don't think about it. Our body is just going to deteriorate to dust! I think it is crazy for people to spend so much money at funerals too! I mean if someone is going to spend $20,000 or more on me... do it while I'm alive! Earthly possessions are made for an earthly experience, IMO. That is why it is listed on my driver's license that I am an organ donor, and I have expressed to all my family that is my wish. Heck, the doctor is going to do everything he can to save us anyway. I think that is their nature, and that is also how they validate their bill to the insurance company.
I agree that most doctors will do anything to keep you alive. I worked in a catholic hospital and most of the doctors would not honor living wills that stated that the person wanted to be allowed to expire. When my Dad coded they ignored his wish not to be revived and did it anyway.
I also agree with you about the funerals! That is just crazy. I find the thought of putting folks in a box in the ground kinda creepy Especially in coffins that cost enough to send a couple of kids to college. We had my dad cremated according to his wishes and scattered his ashes in the Chimney Rocks national park. Which is illegal by the way - that is what the park ranger told us when he found out what we were doing. too late.
I too have organ donor marked on my drivers lic. I hope that my kids will follow through.
On the other hand I have had discussions with some doctors that felt that maybe we are trying too hard to "save" everyone. Just because you can do it does not always mean that you should do it. I realize that this is kinda of a hot button topic but interesting just the same. I over heard a doctor telling a family that their 87 year old mother might be better off if extreme measures were not taken to extend her life - since she had cancer and was in agony. But the family did not agree and wanted everything possible done to keep her alive. Hard decisions
Hmm...Ok I accept the art angle I too thought schindlers list was superb and yes in a way beautiful. But that used a dark event and made moving 'art' from it... it did not create the dark events. You cannot say Hitlers actions were beautiful in any way
If an animal was born like that in your picture then there would be ways of making beautiful if - like Schindlers list - it was done properly My feeling quote of 'absolutely abhorrant' would be directed at the sitaution where scientists had created the animal just to see what would happen. To me this is too far


Niosomes are the vesicular carriers of non-ionic surfactants used in the drug delivery systems, as a tool to improve drug absorption. Niosomes has applications in oral, parenterals, topical and novel drug delivery for controlled and targeted delivery, such as in the treatment of cancer, as a carrier in haemoglobin, delivery of the peptide drugs through oral route, in treatment of Leishmaniasis, in ophthalmic delivery, in cosmetics and as a carrier in dermal drug delivery. Niosomes as transdermal drug delivery is a novel approach and the scientists working in the area of drug delivery system have turned their interest towards the same. The main aim of current review is to focus on niosome structure, composition, advantages, types of niosomes, methods of preparation, characterization, its application and also about its formulation, mechanism and characterization as transdermal drug delivery.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
A man whose home sustained flood damage after a water main break last summer said his dispute for compensation has turned into a complicated fight.
John Rieder owns rental property near 20th and Jefferson streets. When a water main broke in that area last summer, he wound up with 3 feet of water in his basement.
"I'd like to be compensated for the damage done in the basement," he said.
He was entitled to damages. A few weeks after the incident, the city wrote a letter offering to pay him $8,535. Rieder said he wasn't happy because he thought it should be more.
"I needed the money to make the repairs to get the furnace and water heater back up and running," he said.
He said when the check came, it wasn't for $8,535. It was nearly $1,000 short.
The city said some of the items included in Rieder's damage list was discarded property left behind by previous tenants.
"Some things down in the basement that old tenants never took with them," he said.
The city raised questions about those items and lowered the amount of the check. But Rieder said no one ever formally wrote him a letter to tell him that.
City officials said Rieder received phone calls, something Rieder disputes.
"I called them, but they never returned my call," he said.
A representative for the city said it dropped the ball by not putting the notification in writing.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James called for a $1 billion project to repair and restore streets, sidewalks and water pipes across the city, something that might make water main breaks like the one at Rieder's property less common.

In password-protected Windows XP Home or Professional edition system, each user logs on to his or her own user name and password to have full access to the Windows computer. However, Windows user or administrator can still log in to the Windows XP machine without knowing the original password, if they have lost or forgotten the user ID or password, by using various bypass or crack method such as using DreamPackPL to bypass the need to logon using valid account or password, brute force retrieve the Windows passwords for various user or administrator account with Ophcrack, and using third party services such as Login Recovery to retrieval and recovery of Windows user name and passwords. However, there is one simpler method to hack into a Windows XP system, if the computer owner installed Windows XP, and forgot or not set the Administrator account password.
By default installation, Windows XP has a built-in Administrator account, which is equivalent to root or superuser privilege account in Linux or Unix, and contains no password. In other word, hacker or any people can simply key in Administrator as user name at the Windows Logon Welcome Screen prompt with blank password (no password) and get full administrative access as superuser to the Windows PC. Worse, most computer owners don't even know such an Administrator account is actually existed, don't even mention they will create or set a password for Administrator user account.
So this security vulnerability flaw provides an easy way to login into any Windows XP computer that the user forgets or simply does not set a password for the Administrator user ID. The problem is that in normal Windows XP Welcome Screen where you choose which user name you want to log onto, the Administrator user name is not displayed and is not shown. If you can't choose or select the Administrator from the login screen, then how are you going to log-in with the Administrator account? The following video clip provides a simple hack and trick.
Basically, at Windows XP Welcom Screen, simply press Ctrl + Alt + Del keys sequence together twice, and you will be shown a "Log On to Windows" menu which you can specify User Name and Password. In the User Name text box, key in Administrator and leave the Password field blank. Then press Enter or click on OK. If there is not password protects the Administrator account, or blank password is set, then you will be able to access the Windows with full administrative privileges as Administrator.
You can unhide or show the Administrator account on the Welcome screen.
Update: Ways to recover from forgotten Windows password.

May 15, 2020 /in Obituary /by perrymcstay
John L. Ferreira, Sr. 90, of Bristol, RI passed away on Saturday, May 9, 2020 at Rhode Island Hospital. For the past twenty-seven years, he was the beloved companion of Sarah T. Amaral.
Born in Rehoboth, MA, and later moving to Bristol, RI he was the son of the late Manuel J. Ferreira and Elvira S. (Sousa) Ferreira. John served as a proud member of the National Guard. He enjoyed stock car racing in his early years, go-kart racing with his children, and watching NASCAR. John was a man of the earth, and loved the outdoors, whether working his garden, landscaping, or cutting trees for his wood stove. He took great pride in his craft of carpentry, masonry, and general construction. As busy as he was, he tried to find time for his afternoon coffee (extra light, extra sweet) and a piece of good pie. A humble and caring person, with many friends throughout his life's journey, he always went out of his way to help others.
John, the former spouse of Beverly (Venditti) Ferreira, was the loving father of John L. Ferreira, Jr. and his wife Barbara of Londonderry, NH, Beverly J. Ferreira of Orlando, FL, Debra L. Scott and her husband William of Cranston, RI, Michael J. Ferreira of Atlanta, GA, and Linda M. Ferreira of Rehoboth, MA, and the late Catherine J. Ferreira of Rehoboth, as well as Sarah's children, Virginia Amaral of Bristol, and Manuel Amaral and his wife Lisa of Peoria, AZ. John is also survived by eight loving grandchildren; Rebecca Maxwell, Jennifer Ferreira, Bethany Ferreira, Jeannelle D'Isa, Danielle Ferreira, Tiffany Scott, Miranda Antani, Valerie Scott, and Sarah's grandson Samuel Amaral. He leaves seven great-grandchildren; Morgan and Kathryn Maxwell, Alexandra Ferreira, Noel D'Isa, Antonia and Victoria Scott, and Grayson Antani.
John was brother to Manuel (Red) Ferreira and his wife Natalie Ferreira, and Mary Goulart all of Bristol, RI, and the late Elvira Santos, Julia Ferreira, and Ferdinand (Fred) Ferreira.
Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, a Celebration of Life Service will be held at a date and time to be announced. Contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, PO Box 1000 Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38101-9908 would be deeply appreciated.

The first step is to apply online and sign up for an interview/info session. You'll learn all about our program to see if we're a good match for you.
Why do I have to attend an info session?
We want to make certain you are making a good choice for yourself about where you serve in the community. The best way to do this is to inform you of our expectations for volunteers and what commitments you are making when becoming a volunteer at Salem Health. We want to keep you informed so you make an informed decision.
I understand you complete a criminal background check. Why?
Our goal is to provide the best experience for our patients. One way we do this is to screen those that have potential contact with our patients, visitors and staff through a background check. People who don't pass a criminal background check are not permitted to volunteer. We do not run background checks on volunteers who are under 18.
Can I get a job after volunteering?
Volunteering is not the same as getting a job at the hospital. They are two entirely different things. Although we do have some volunteers who have gained employment after they have volunteered, it should not be an expectation as part of your volunteer role. If you are looking for a job, apply for a job.
I am afraid to interview. Do I have to interview?
Yes, an interview is our opportunity to see if you are a good match to serve and be in the hospital. We look forward to spending this time with you to learn about your interests, ask screening questions for volunteering and discuss possible placement options. Think of this time as an opportunity for you to get more interview experience.
Can I volunteer to rock the babies?
We do not currently have baby rocking opportunities. Our hospital is designed for the babies to stay with the new moms and dads so the family can get used to each other before going home.
How can I have a hands-on experience to help me with my health care degree?

I read Flowers for Algernon recently, and I *cough* shed a few tears. This lead me to wonder if anyone else did so, over any book. This includes fiction and nonfiction, so I figured that it belonged here.
1) Have you ever wept because of a book?
2) Have you ever nearly wept at a book?
3) If you answered "Yes" to 1 or 2, which book was it?
4) Isn't Flowers for Algernon so, so sad?

Michael Fassbender 'passed out' during scene
Michael Fassbender found his sexual assault scene in '12 Years a Slave' so harrowing, he "passed out" during filming
Michael Fassbender passed out filming a violent sex scene in '12 Years a Slave'.
The 36-year-old actor - who plays nefarious slave owner Epps in the slavery drama - found shooting the sexual assault scene with co-star Lupita Nyong'o so harrowing he temporarily "blacked out".
He said: "That's never happened to me before. I don't know what happened. Maybe I hyperventilated? But I blacked out and I came to and I was on top of Lupita thinking, 'What the f**k?' Then I saw the camera and the lights and I was like, 'Oh yeah, we're filming.' "
Despite the troubling nature of the film, which also includes scenes of torture, Fassbender insists the cast and crew tried to remain upbeat and not get too consumed by the dark subject matter.
He added: "That's always the way. I think it's a defence mechanism to not allow the atmosphere to get too steeped. At lunchtime, we sat down together and tried to switch off because the moments when we were on were so intense."
Directed by: Steve McQueen
Cast: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael K. Williams, Michael Fassbender
UK release: 10 January 2014
In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. McQueen's third feature (and follow-up to Shame) features a stellar cast.

Henry Gowa (né le , mort le  à Munich) est un peintre allemand.

Biographie

Né  Hermann Gowa à Hambourg, il étudie à Munich, et s'installe comme designer. Il tient sa première exposition en 1931. Lors de la montée du nazisme, il émigre à Paris. Il change son prénom de Hermann en Henry pour prendre ses distances avec Hermann Göring. Avec ses contacts dans la résistance, il se réfugie dans un village du sud de la France et échappe ainsi à l'Holocauste. Après la guerre il retourne en Allemagne et devient directeur de l'école Schule für Kunst und Handwerk à Sarrebruck. En 1957 il est commissaire de la Bienalle de Paris. Il meurt à Munich où est conservé sa production artistique, dont une partie est exposée des archives Ludwig Meidner du Musée juif de Francfort-sur-le-Main.

Initialement admirateur de Paul Cézanne, il est influencé lors de son séjour en France par Bonnard, Chagall, Matisse et Picasso. Après la guerre son travail se diversifie à travers différents modes d'expression avec des compositions abstraites.

Cardiaplication: A novel surgical technique for refractory gastroesophageal reflux in the pediatric population
Sarah J. Hill, Samir Pandya, Matthew S. Clifton, Amina Bhatia, Mark L. Wulkan
Introduction: We encountered 3 patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease and tubular stomachs precluding fundoplication. Here, we report the use of an innovative technique, cardiaplication, as an alternative approach for antireflux surgery. Methods: Three infants with medically refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were referred for fundoplication. In each case, the patient's anatomy prevented a traditional fundoplication from being performed. A cardiaplication was performed by invaginating the cardia of the stomach at the angle of His and securing the invaginated tissue with interrupted silk suture. The plication tubularized the cardia of the stomach, essentially increasing the intra-abdominal portion of the esophagus and altering the angle of His. The imbrication also creates a flapper valve over the distal esophagus, further limiting potential reflux. The charts for the infants who received cardiaplication were reviewed. Radiographic studies and clinical notes for the presence of persistent reflux were evaluated. Results: Cardiaplication was completed in 3 patients with GERD. All cases were initiated laparoscopically and one was converted to an open procedure secondary to dense adhesive disease. Each child was initiated on feeds between postoperative day 2 and 3. Two of the 3 patients were tolerating goal feeds with-in 2 days. The third patient reached goal feeds on day 16. Postoperative imaging (upper gastrointestinal series [UGI]) was obtained in 2 of the 3 patients. At follow-up (13, 7, and 4 months), all 3 patients are clinically free of symptoms of GERD. Delayed radiographic imaging has confirmed that the patients are no longer refluxing. Conclusion: Based on preliminary findings, cardiaplication appears to be a safe and effective surgical technique for the management of severe GERD in infants. We performed cardiaplication out of necessity; however, after further testing this may prove to be an optimal approach, as it can be performed without disruption of the hiatus.

When Is Kate Middleton Due With Her 3rd Child? The Family Is "Delighted"
It's been rumored for a while that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wanted another child, so it wasn't exactly a surprise when Kensington Palace revealed Monday morning that they are expecting. The big question on many people's minds now, of course, is when Kate Middleton is due with her third child. And it looks like the Royal Family have a lot to look forward to this coming spring.
Their Royal Highness The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child.
As noted in the statement, the Duchess again has Hyperemesis Gravidarum, the extreme morning sickness she was reportedly plagued with when she was pregnant with George, who is now 4, and Charlotte, age 2.
According to ABC News, the cause of the condition is unknown, but it usually occurs in the late first and early second trimester. It causes nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalance, according to American Pregnancy. As Kensington Palace indicated, it's so incapacitating that Middleton has to cancel her engagements. She was hospitalized for it when she was pregnant with George, People reported.
That report is also indicative of where Middleton is in her pregnancy. When she was pregnant with Charlotte in 2014, the condition forced the palace to announce the pregnancy before the traditional 12 week mark, ABC News reported, again because Middleton needed to cancel down standing commitments to attend to her health.
If Middleton is between nine and 12 weeks pregnant now, her due date is between March 15 and April 1 of 2018. If she's a bit past 12 weeks, the due date is of course a little later. Either way, it looks like another spring baby for the Duke and Duchess. Princess Charlotte was born on May 2. Prince George was born later in the year, on July 22, but still, they've got this have-babies-when-it's-warm thing down.
As also noted in the statement, both Middleton's family and the royal family are "delighted," and why wouldn't they be? The royal family is known for sizeable broods (the Queen has four, after all), but still, pretty cool, especially for royal parents like these, who are said to be extremely involved. Let's just hope the Duchess starts feeling better soon. Hyperemesis is hard to weather once, but three times? This woman is a hero.


BREAKING: Christopher Campbell has been found safe in Minnesota. Slabbed tells the story behind the story.
A New Orleans man wanted for simple kidnapping in connection with the abduction of his 5-year-old son was arrested in Minnesota this afternoon, according to authorities.
Christopher Scott Campbell, 37, was taken into custody by an unidentified law enforcement agency, said Lt. Michael Fejka, an investigator with the Harahan Police Department.
Few other details were available Tuesday afternoon, but Fejka confirmed that Campbell's son, Christopher William Campbell, has also been found and is with a Minnesota social worker.

"BP and anyone else underestimates coast residents at their own peril"
…it's not just those who ply their trade on the sea, or who house, feed or entertain tourists, who stand to lose. People live on the Gulf Coast because of the way of life there. They walk its beaches, sail and fish its waters, and daily draw mental and physical sustenance from what it offers. It is in their blood: a part of them.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our forefathers penned those simple words into the Declaration of Independence 234 years ago as a promise to every citizen of their fledgling country. Today, millions of Americans living along the Gulf Coast find those unalienable rights threatened.
I grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was a place of pristine, natural beauty. Miles of soft, sandy beaches. The gentle, warm waters of the Mississippi Sound. The bays that cut inland to rivers and streams lined with grassy marshes and bayous that served as nurseries for tiny crabs, shrimp and all manner of fish and marine life.
This weekend, as the nation celebrated, the first black tar balls and foul patties from the oil spill washed up on the beaches of my hometown. Bay St. Louis was hosting its annual Crab Fest on Friday when the quarter- to fist-size globs began rolling in. My brother called to say he'd spotted some in front of the site of our former home on South Beach Boulevard. It was sickening.
The people of the Gulf Coast are a hardy bunch. They already faced the worst nature could dish out when Hurricane Katrina hit. And just as they were getting back on their feet after years of heartache and struggle, the worst man-made environmental disaster in U.S. history smacks them back down.
That is what makes this such a difficult time for my family, friends and neighbors on the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Katrina left them with a new sense of vulnerability. Its scars are deep. And they are tired to the bone.
But that doesn't mean they won't fight. It is a lesson BP executives or anyone else who would underestimate them ignores at their peril.

Defending the indefensible: A Parish of shame. New revelations in the "NAZI" case Simon v Jefferson Parish and Armand Kerlec. A Guest post by Whitmergate.
Asked by McGovern (Simon's attorney) if he thought a Jewish person would be offended by a supervisor giving the Nazi salute, Kerlec said, "I don't know whether they would be or not. I mean … I never even thought about whether anybody would be offended by it. There were so many people (co-workers) egging me on all the time that I just figured — I didn't think about it.
Kerlec also admitted that he probably used the word "n—-r" on the job during his 32 years as a parish employee, but not among black workers. He also acknowledged receiving extensive parish training with regard to racial discrimination and harassment in the workplace, including warnings not to use racial slurs to describe Jews and African-Americans. He testified that he did not know Simon was Jewish until Simon told him.

St. Jarlath's College has produced a yearly musical known as the Opera for the locals of Tuam since 1944, making it one of the longest continually running amateur shows in Ireland. While debating has a long history in the College, with the original Students' Debating Society being organised in 1972, it had fallen into decline in recent years. In 2008 however, Jarlath's teachers Ms Brighid Cannon and Ms Eilis Flanagan helped organise a group of leaving cert students into a small Literary and Debating Society. Read about the Gaisce, Presidents award for Transition Years in St. Jarlaths. Music has forever been an important part of life in Tuam, especially in the schools. Back in the days of boarding in Jarlath's, student bands were among the most popular extracurricular activities for students away from home, with an often experience being a band practice in the dorms ringing out across the grounds to be heard by the Senior team training below.

St. Jarlath's has a long tradition of excelling in gaelic football. It has the distinction of having the most Hogan Cup (senior All-Ireland College Championship) victories of any college in Ireland at 12. St. Patrick's College also had an illustrious tradition in Gaelic football, the senior team having won Connaught titles throughout its past, as well as taking part in a long and celebrated rivalry with neighbouring Jarlath's. All in all, with the amalgamation taken into account, the new college can boast fifty all Connaught titles, making it Ireland's premier Gaelic football school.
On Monday, January 27th at the Connacht Centre of excellence in Ballyhaunis St Jarlath's Junior team saw off the challange of Summerhill College to win the Connacht Junior League. The final score was 2-9 to 1-3 with the goals coming from Dylan Canney and Joseph Lowry. The victorious panel are pictured above and there is also a shot of the winning captain, Dylan McHugh receiving the cup from Connacht Colleges official, Mr. Hugh Rudden.

The 'stacking' takes place between 8 and 9 p.m. It starts with an empty space. 8 p.m. the stackers bring in their items, choosing their own spot near a light. The stacking starts when the stackers gathered all their items. The stackers reduce their activities only to stacking and if necessary un-stacking. When the stack falls the stacker starts over again. When the stack touches the ceiling, the stacker un-stacks and re-stacks. The stacker can use a chair or a ladder when the stack is getting too high. When the time comes closer to the end, each stacker starts in its own time to take away her/his items so that the space is empty at 9 p.m. 'stacking' is developed during my artist-in-residence at the Living Arts of Tulsa USA, March 2013. Thanks to all the stackers and the Living Arts team.


It is important to evaluate reading habits and critical reading skills of university students who are always expected to gather qualified information. In this context, within the scope of this study, reading habits and critical thinking skills of freshman students are studied. In this study, the effect of several parameters, such as attitude, gender, parental education, family structure, family attitudes, periodical publication membership and the number of possesed books, on the reading habits and critical thinking skills of first year university students is assessed, in addition to the relationship between the reading habits and critical thinking skills.

NLC Bible Reading
Revelations 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!"
14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!" And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
It's interesting that the telling of things to come has its source in a book already written. Though it is the expressed will and plan of God, it is not something originating at the time of its presentation but is already long-established and documented. In the exalting of the One who opens and reveals it, there is preparation for its effect. Magnifying the worthiness of the Lamb makes way for what will come through Him – not just information to be analyzed and debated, but the expressed wisdom of the Father from and through eternity. Participation in this worship is joining the realm of heaven on the side of His ultimate triumph as kings and priests.
Revelation that will make way for the power and purpose of God in our lives will come, not through some new random impartation, but through the long-established Word of God.
It's opening and application in life is enabled as the Lamb who will reveal it is exalted and worshiped.
Our part in this worship is a powerful service as a king and priest among a mighty throng, though it may seem like an isolated, individual expression.
Error happened.

A life of worship does not end when our time on earth is complete! We will forever be in the presence of God living in awe, wonder and worship of Him. What a precious thought remember!
