Patrick Brown is the author of Moral Ambiguity (2011), Tossed Off the Edge (2014), Murdered Justice (2017), and Pennington's Hoax (2018). Patrick was classically trained as a musician, but early on discovered his love of writing. His keen observational skills, scathing wit and sense of humor shine through in his plots, settings, and memorable characters.
Having worked in several fields, including the arts, civil rights, and politics, Patrick has broadened his knowledge of human nature, and frequently transforms personalities and situations into captivating stories and not-so-subtle social commentary.
Moral Ambiguity is the story of famous singing star Kevin Gregory, who decides to come clean with his many fans and write a tell-all book about his years spent as the secret boy-toy of America's most famous and sinister televangelist.
Filled with unforgettable characters such as Claudia Stronghorn, TV personality Vicky Lynn Creekmore (think Tammy Faye Bakker!) and the unbelievably mendacious leader of the Pious Plurality Jimmy Standridge (think of any TV preacher with too much power!), Patrick takes readers on a delightful journey in and out of New York society, a Christian theme park, a media empire, and one scandal after another with hilarious results.
Tossed Off the Edge is a tribute to the divas of daytime soap operas, a genre which has all but faded from the American cultural landscape. "Tossed" is the story of fictional television star Sheila Wozniak who has been adored by millions of fans for decades. After 40 years of portraying the long-suffering Regina Knight Harrison Donavan Taylor Donavan McDonald McDonald Woodward Merriweather Todd, Sheila has been fired from her show The Edge of Conflict! Not knowing what to do with her life in retirement, she engages her former show's head writer (coincidentally named Patrick Brown) to ghost write her autobiography. The actress begins with her humble start and her lucky breaks before bearing her soul and talking about her sordid domestic problems, which have a familiar ring to them. The fictional Patrick Brown begins to notice that Ms. Wozniak's marriages, spiritual pilgrimages, difficult children, and dangerous stalker bear a striking resemblance to the plots of old movies and television shows.
Murdered Justice is a departure from humor, but Patrick's vivid imagination and fluid writing come through all the same. Described by Mid Atlantic Book Reviewers as "A superior crime thriller…" Murdered Justice introduces readers to investigative journalist Maggie Lyon whose career has languished in the Lifestyles section of a big-city newspaper. Asked to cover an exclusive weekend gathering at a Hollywood mansion, Maggie wakes up to discover that one of the guests, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Vittorio Scarpia, has died in the night. Maggie soon realizes that Scarpia was murdered and begins her own investigation. Arrests are made, but has Maggie gotten it wrong? After reexamining the details, mysterious phone calls resume, old names resurface and a suspect dies before the killer can be exposed!
Pennington's Hoax is Maggie Lyon's second adventure. Investigative journalist and author of the best-selling Murdered Justice, Maggie finds herself up to her neck in trouble as she gets sucked into another strange case. Called upon to interview one of America's most beloved authors, Maggie sets out to learn whether or not the reclusive Ely Pennington actually penned her famous classic novel Rebel's Last Yell or if she took credit for someone else's hard work. Maggie's trouble is that the author passes away before they can meet. Determined to get to the bottom of Pennington's Hoax – if there has actually been a hoax, the intrepid reporter is the first to realize that Pennington might have been murdered. Maggie pursues clue after clue only to hit one dead end after another. For some reason her sources keep dying or disappearing before the truth can finally be discovered. Then suddenly the relentless Maggie becomes the killer's target!
Patrick is planning several more books in the series featuring Maggie Lyon, including the The Ghost Lake, which will be set in the Pacific Northwest, and he's also working on a collection of short stories when he can find the time. He regularly contributes articles to this blog to stay in touch with readers as he shares anecdotes from daily life, including his efforts to tame a once-neglected Pacific Northwest woodland into a manageable nature sanctuary.

Q: Using Taylor to prove an inequality. I have the function $f: (0,1)^2 \to (0,+\infty)$ with type $$f(x,y) = x \log\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) + (1-x) \log\left(\frac{1-x}{1-y}\right)$$
I would like to get an upper bound for f(x,y) in terms of $|x-y|$.
I have the following idea. To simplify notation fix $y$ and  let $g(x) = f(x,y)$.
We have $$ g'(x) = - \log(\frac{1-x}{1-y}) + \log(\frac{x}{y})$$ and
$$g''(x) = \frac{1}{1-x} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{(1-x)x}$$.
If $x < y$ using Taylor in the interval $[x,y]$ we have for a $\xi \in [x,y]$
$$ g(x) = g(y) + g'(y)(y-x) + g''(\xi) (y-x)^2/2 = g''(\xi) (x-y)^2/2. $$
If $x> y$ the using Taylor in the interval $[y,x]$ we get the same
expression as above.
Since $g''(x)$ is convex and is minimized at $x_0 = 1/2$ we have that
if $|x-1/2| < |y-1/2|$ then $g''(\xi) \leq g''(y)$ else $g''(\xi) \leq g''(x)$.
Therefore,
$$
g(x) = f(x,y) \leq \max(g''(x), g''(y))(x-y)^2/2 \leq  (g''(x) + g''(y)) (x-y)^2/2
$$
Question
Is the above proof correct? In particular I am not sure whether I can use
Taylor in the closed interval $[x,y]$ or $[y,x]$.

Does Chemical in broccoli slows COVID-19 virus replication in cells, mice? Study Finds
Posted on March 28, 2022 March 28, 2022 by Payel Das
A substance present in broccoli and other vegetables could be a "promising" way to prevent and treat COVID-19. After modest doses of the substance were discovered to suppress SARS-CoV-2 growth in mammalian cells and mice, experts warn more investigation is needed. Sulforaphane, a plant-derived chemical or phytochemical found in broccoli and other cruciferous plants, has been found to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, as well as some common cold coronaviruses, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, Md. The findings, which were published in the Nature journal Communications Biology on March 18, also showed promise when even lower doses of sulforaphane were combined with remdesivir, an antiviral medicine used to treat certain COVID-19 patients who were hospitalised. We would like to draw your attention on Broccoli slows COVID-19 Virus Effect in this article.
Facts regarding the effects of Broccoli found by the researchers
The effect of Broccoli on Covid-19 patients
Facts that are found in the research recently
Conclusion by the study
Sulforaphane may help prevent and treat infections caused by some coronaviruses, including COVID-19, according to a study performed by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in mice and lab-grown cells.
Broccoli, cabbage, kale, and Brussels sprouts are high in sulforaphane's natural precursor. Natural sulforaphane is derived from ordinary food sources such as broccoli seeds, sprouts, and mature plants, as well as infusions of sprouts or seeds for drinking, and was first recognised as a "chemopreventive" ingredient by a team of Johns Hopkins scientists decades ago. Sulforaphane has been demonstrated in previous research, particularly those at Johns Hopkins Medicine, to have anti-cancer and anti-infection capabilities by interfering with key cellular processes.
"When the COVID-19 pandemic began, our multidisciplinary research teams shifted their investigations of other viruses and bacteria to focus on a potential treatment for what was then a difficult new virus for us," says Lori Jones-Brando, Ph.D., a microbiologist at the Children's Center and senior author of the paper. "I was testing a number of chemicals for anti-coronavirus action when I came across sulforaphane, which has demonstrated some activity against other microbial agents that we research." In their experiments, the researchers used purified, synthetic sulforaphane obtained from commercial chemical suppliers.
The researchers employed commercially available purified synthetic sulforaphane and exposed it to cells for one to two hours before infecting them with SARS-CoV-2 and HCoV-OC43, a common cold coronavirus. Low micromolar quantities of sulforaphane, ranging from 2.4 to 31 micromolar, were observed to suppress the reproduction of six strains of SARS-CoV-2, including the Delta and Omicron variants, as well as the common cold coronavirus, by half. Similar findings were found in cells that had previously been infected with the viruses. The number of moles of solute per litre of solution is known as molar concentration. A micromolar is one-millionth the concentration of a mole, which is a unit of measurement for tiny particles such as atoms.
The researchers also tested male mice and discovered that feeding them 30 milligrammes of sulforaphane per kilogramme of body weight before infecting them with SARS-CoV-2 resulted in 7.5 percent less weight loss than infected, untreated mice. Pre-treated animals had a 17 percent reduction in viral load in the lungs and a nine percent reduction in viral load in the upper respiratory tract when compared to mice who were not administered sulforaphane. Lung injury decreased by 29%, and lung inflammation, which has been linked to COVID-19 death, was reduced.

"We discovered that sulforaphane is antiviral against the coronaviruses HCoV-OC43 and SARS-CoV-2, as well as aiding to modulate the immune response," Ordonez explains. "It's an interesting molecule to utilise against these viral infections, as well as those caused by other human coronaviruses, because of its multifunctional activity."
-Researchers at Johns Hopkins Children's Centre in Baltimore
Can I get COVID-19 more than once?
Yes, you would be protected from a second infection at first, but if your antibody levels drop rapidly as a result of the illness, you may not have enough antibodies to prevent a second infection." In other words, you may not be eligible for a free pass for the next 90 days.
In what conditions does COVID-19 survive the longest?
When exposed to UV radiation in sunlight, coronaviruses die swiftly. SARS-CoV-2, like other encapsulated viruses, thrives at room temperature or lower temperatures, as well as low relative humidity (less than 50%).
Can COVID-19 be transmitted through food?
There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 can be contracted through food. COVID-19 is a virus that can be killed at temperatures comparable to those used to kill other viruses and germs found in food.
What are some of the ways to prevent COVID-19?
Know the facts and take the necessary actions to protect yourself and others. Follow the recommendations of your local health authorities.

Denpasar is humid, fumy and drowning in scooters – not at all what I imagined Bali to be! Where were the temples? The monkeys? The rolling rice paddy fields and landscapes about which the guide book had so enthusiastically boasted? As it happens, these all revealed themselves over the coming days and my initial sunken heart soon lifted.
Our whistle stop tour of Ubud found us 30 feet up in a bamboo tree house, a mile along an uneven dirt track, flanked either side by banana trees and surrounded by the very rice fields about which I had read so much. A precarious "ladder" lead the way to a mattress and mosquito net, a basic room (if that's the right word to describe it) although nonetheless still equipped with lighting, sockets, WiFi and an ant troupe! The following day we were mugged by monkeys at the temple a mile down the road, and left the next morning – although not, I hasten to add, because of the monkeys!
Waking at 01:30 we silently packed and made our way back along the track to our awaiting driver. From here he took us to the bottom of Mt Batur – an hour and a quarter later we were watching lightning bolts fork across the distant darkness. A little further, dripping in sweat but refreshed by a Snickers, we reached the summit. Sat huddled with a hot chocolate we watched as the mist swooped silently throughout the valley below, parting only briefly to reveal the sunrise over Bali.
On the route to our next accommodation – in Jimberan – we refreshed at the natural hot spring spa. A well-earned soak eased the sore legs!
The family at our next accommodation were the perfect hosts! Their help and advice was greatly appreciated on where to eat and sights not to miss. Cocktails on the beach lead to terrible sunburn, and a lavish seafood dinner resulted in a sleepless night from food poisoning, but even these couldn't dampen our spirits. The days were hot and the nights thunderous – a pattern we'd learn to expect – waking at 06:00 each day to find brilliant sunlight and a freshness one only experiences after a storm.
An hour and half on a fast boat across to the Lombok Islands and we arrived at Gili T. As we filed off the boat onto the sand I struggled to decide which was more stunningly clear – the water or the sky, as each were without a blemish. Later that afternoon whilst swimming among schools of black and yellow angelfish a turtle floated past, silently and gracefully. We followed him for a couple of minutes until he went deep and left us, snorkel tube in mouth, but still speechless nonetheless. We were up and in the sea early next morning in the hope of seeing more, as locals had advised this is the best time to catch them feeding – but we left only with the previous day's memory.
The still peeling sunburn on my back serves as a final reminder of a trip full of (corny) "once in a lifetime" experiences. Go to Gili T, hire a bike, cycle round the island, swim with turtles, drink cocktails on the beach, watch the sunset and, most of all, don't listen when Google says November is rainy season.


Fuldapocalypse Fiction has reached a hundred posts, and I've decided to commemorate it with a special post.
It's been amazing to have this review blog. Really, really amazing.
I actually have a backlog of blog posts here and in Fuldapocalypse. While the latter blog has been a success, I've found "juggling" the time and place of posts between them in a place that feels comfortable for me to sometimes be an issue.
So starting this coming Sunday and at least continuing for the rest of February, I'm starting a formal plan of alternating days. Fuldapocalypse content will be on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Creative Corner content will be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Saturday is for resting, gap-filling, or special stuff.

Wag N' Wash has seen a huge increase in revenues and rapid expansion over the last several years. To date, Wag N' Wash stores are averaging average annual store sales of $1.5M, and 57% of our pet store Franchise Owners have met or surpassed that average.
Wag N' Wash is a different kind of franchise. We are made up of individuals who are devoted to making a great living while enjoying the lives of their companion pets and improving the lives of others.
Wag N' Wash is proven to be successful for not only the Franchise Owners but for their communities as well.
We're not an average pet food franchise. Unlike most independent pet stores that just sell food, Wag N' Wash combines retail goods with self-service wash stations, full service grooming, and an in-house bakery to fulfill all of our customers needs under one roof.
We have unique products and services that are proprietary to our brand, and we only offer the highest quality pet foods and products. Wag N' Wash has yet to see competition that replicates our boutique feel with quality products for a reasonable price.
With a relentless approach to exceptional customer service, Wag N' Wash has become the trusted name in pet retail in all of the communities in which we operate.
Brands that enjoy brand loyalty like Wag N' Wash typically see that their customers buy 90% more frequently, spend 60% more per transaction, and are 5 times more likely to indicate they will only purchase from that brand in the future, according to market research firm Rosetta.
The Wag N' Wash pet franchise also has decades of relationship building with industry manufacturers and suppliers. These strong relationships provide our Franchise Owners with Grade-A pricing which independent owners do not have access to, and allow us to pass on this savings to our customers.
Our products and services focus solely on dogs and cats, the largest segment of companion animals, and the stores do not sell supplies for other animals. Additionally, we have honed in on the healthy living market and offer strictly all-natural products, making us stand out from the competition.
Our team members are professionally and diligently trained in all the products we sell, providing every customer with an expert answer to their questions. This combination, and our decades of learning through experience in this industry, make our expertise a competitive advantage.
Wag N' Wash was built on the premise of spending more time not only with the people we love, but the animals that have become our family. We know that without support from our community, our pet store franchise would never be what it is today. Giving back to the community is an integral piece of our business model, and a core value that we look for in Franchise Owners.
Franchise Owners have the option to bring local products into their inventory, and to build relationships with local adoption centers and clinics. We often host or partner on adoption events, and we offer various therapy tools to assist aging animals or those with disabilities.
Wag N' Wash has seen a huge increase in revenues and rapid expansion over the last several years. As you go through our Education Process, you'll have the opportunity to speak with our Franchise Development Director and look through our Franchise Development Document (FDD).
To date, Wag N' Wash stores are averaging average annual store sales of $1.5M, and 57% of our pet store Franchise Owners have met or surpassed that average.


Port Vale assistant boss Lee Nogan says the Valiants make no apologies for playing to Tom Pope's strengths, in fact, they are looking to 'Feed the Pope' even more.
The talismanic target man netted his 95th goal in a Vale shirt with his late equaliser in Saturday's 2-2 draw at home to Notts County, a game in which the Valiants weren't afraid to go direct and get balls into the box.
Nogan said: "There is a lot said about when he doesn't play, or even when he does play that we are one dimensional at times.
"We don't mean to be, it is just you have to play to your players' strengths and his strengths are crosses. So, when we get in the final third and we get in good areas we are always looking to put the ball in the box.
"I thought we did that on Saturday a lot of the time. He thrives off that. In other games if we are not doing that then we are not playing to his strengths and it is difficult for him.
"He is a big player for us, no doubt about it. Everyone else can see it from the outside. We are trying to get him a little bit more help whether it is formation wise or getting more runners around him. We are always working on that part of it. He is pivotal to what we are doing."
Former Oxford, Watford, Reading and Grimsby striker Nogan is confident Pope will go on to score more than 100 goals in a Vale shirt.
He said to reach a century with a single club would be special: "He has done magnificently and I am sure he will surpass that. That is immense.
"Over a career you do it with five or six clubs when you are a striker, but a Port Vale fan will see what he does for the team and for the club, not just on the pitch, but off the pitch as well."
Nogan understandably isn't giving the team or formation away for Sunday's FA Cup first-round tie at home to Sunderland but he has been pleased with how the Valiants have played since switching to three at the back last month.
They have largely played a 3-4-3 but changed that to 3-5-2 against Notts County as Luke Hannant dropped back into central midfield and Ben Whitfield was given more licence to stay forward alongside Pope.
Either way, the wing-back system has helped Vale defensively. In fact, they hadn't conceded a goal for six-and-a-half hours before Notts County netted.
Nogan added: "We have looked more solid. It is a shape that we tried at Gateshead previously and it worked for us for about seven or eight games and then we reverted back to a back four.
"It is one of them you can toy with a little bit and, if it works, it is great. But there are some games where it might not be so.
"You have to look at the opposition and say do we need to change it at times. We did it against Bury where we went to a back four towards the end because we were getting overrun a bit, but at the moment it is working."

Review excerpts:
"Kelly's atmospherics capture the emotional spectrum the human soul can traverse in this squat, beige hell." – The Wire
"…mirrors the agitation and unease many feel there [at the DMV]. It's clubby, ambient, expansive and weird. I like it." – Bandcloud
"Elizabeth Joan Kelly's music is like a guided meditation for the creatives, for the daydreamers in all of us, and something that helps us escape our immediate surroundings–and by accomplishing that she has made the mundane beautiful." – Recclective
"New Orleans-based Elizabeth Joan Kelly restates the pleasing ambient calm of Brian Eno's Music for Airports as a pervasive ambience of anxiety on her Music for the DMV album." – Concrete Islands
"Taking its title influence from Music For Airports, fifteen tracks see Kelly delve into the extraordinary masses of online found sounds which she treats, manipulates and regurgitates. A simple task on the face of things but what she does here is nothing short of extraordinary and inspiring." – Louder Than War
"While one would think that relaxing sounds would be the best thing to help survive another license renewal, Kelly uses a variety of shiny textures and bright melodies to instead provide distraction. And there's plenty of that to be found here, as well as charm, especially in the three tracks classed as Gymnopedies. Best of all, however, is Call My Number, which has an almost comical sense of yearning and absolutely reminds me of that time when the scheduling system crashed at the DMV and I lost my place in line." – An Earful
"The end result of this digital collage of classical pieces with unique audio treatments is an artistic and detailed sonic work that one need not visit the DMV to enjoy. For those of you who are unfortunate enough to have business to conduct at the DMV, you might want to bring this album with you. The calming and intriguingly arranged music contained therin just might make your stay a little less unpleasant." – Houdini Mansions
"The tracks range in mood and timbre, with "Bouncyland" being one of the cheerier, more melodic pieces. There's a hint of playfulness in the bubbly drum machines and keys that would probably make the DMV (or DOR as we call it here in Washington) seem a little bit less of a soul-sucking bureaucratic nightmare." – Ball of Wax Quarterly
"…the track ["Call My Number"] can simply be termed as beautiful. Soft, gentle tones with an angelic voice make this a stunning end to the album and sees Elizabeth on top form." – hiapop
"'Industrial Ambient Prelude' is Chopin with a house beat. 'Club Clanger' is jarringly busy, whereas 'Bouncyland' is loads of fun, with an all-drum breakdown that Big Freedia might sample. Many of the rhythms here are inventive enough that you want to hear them outside the 8-bit context, with brighter synths and bigger drums." – ANTIGRAVITY Magazine
"…interesting electronic music…" – The Letter
"A pretty unusual but wonderful listening session;" "a honest electronic album that you should hear immediately!" –Yeah I Know It Sucks
"Brilliant…" -Independent Music Podcast
"It's a fun and chaotic, murky…album, you should check out!" –Olivia on Radio Ravioli, WFMU
"Brilliant;" "lovely" –Is This Thing On Podcast
Brian Eno's Music for Airports aimed to create ambient soundscapes, equally appropriate for listening as they are for ignoring. Airports can be places of great joy and anticipation as travelers leave for vacations or return home after long journeys, and Eno's soothing sound installations echo this mood.
The Department of Motor Vehicles, or DMV, however, is not a happy destination for anyone. The closest thing to an eager DMV visitor is a teenager taking their driver's test, and even that is an experience tinged with anxiety. Music for the DMV, therefore, seeks to mimic Eno's example of creating background music to fit a specific location, but acknowledges too the inherent agitation and uneasiness associated with a trip to the local vehicle registration and driver's license office.

January 19, 2022 |Education Logos
Yale Logo PNG
Yale University is a private university owned by the Ivy League. It is one of the oldest in the United States since it was opened in 1701 by the Connecticut Colony. At first, the educational institution received the status of Collegiate School. In 1718 it was renamed Yale College. Now it is the largest educational institution, consisting of 14 departments, including 12 vocational schools, one high school of arts, and a bachelor's degree. She also has her own sports club called Yale Bulldogs. The university is located in New Haven, Connecticut. Many prominent personalities have emerged from its walls, including five presidents of the United States.
Meaning and History
This institution of higher education originated from the An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School, approved by the General Court Colony of Connecticut. This happened in October 1701, intending to train the clergy and secular leadership of the state. The founders included many people, including Samuel Andrew, Samuel Mather, Israel Chauncy, Thomas Buckingham, and many others. James Pierpont headed the group.
The institute was initially based in the home of the first president of Yale University, Abraham Pierson. He lived in the city of Killingworth (now – Clinton). Then the educational institution was moved to Saybrook and later to Wethersfield. In New Haven, Connecticut State, this educational institution appeared in 1716.
To adequately settle in a new place, the priest Cotton Mather, at the insistence of the leadership (the rector of the university Samuel Andrew or the governor of the colony Gurdon Saltonstall), turned to the successful Boston businessman Elihu Yale with a request to help in the construction of the new building. He, in turn, provided them with nine bales of goods, which were subsequently sold for 560 pounds sterling, which made it possible to build the main building. At the same time, Cotton Mather proposed to name the university in honor of the sponsor – Yale College.
The Yale University crest comprises three key components that are of immense importance to the institution. The open book is not only a symbol of enlightenment. Some researchers see in her an image associated with theology and church clergy who founded the university. They assume it is a Bible open to a page with an important message to posterity. The inscription is in Hebrew.
The background of the white and yellow book is a dark blue shield of the correct shape: an even top, a narrowed bottom. Along the edge, it is outlined with a black stripe that runs along the entire contour. Below is a tape with bifurcated ends and a dictum in Latin "Lux et Veritas." This is the motto of the university. On both sides of the book, there are strings that were used to seal paper editions.
The modern emblem of Yale University contains part of its name – the first word. It is made with classic printed characters – straight lines, with miniature serifs. But "A" is different from the usual version. Its central part is not completely round but slightly cut diagonally. "E" has an overly large bottom and a disproportionately small top. The inscription is made in the form of a combination of one uppercase and three lowercase letters.
Yale Bulldogs Logo
Evolution of the Yale Logo
The university has its own sports club, whose representatives compete in several interuniversity programs. They are part of NCAA Division I, Ivy League, ECAC Hockey, NEISA. The most famous are the football and ice hockey teams, which are considered among the oldest in the college system. The club plays at the Yale Bowl Arena and has an interesting history of logos.
Sports emblems have nothing to do with university symbols. They contain completely different images. The debut version features the head of a bulldog wearing a football player's leather helmet. The drawing is executed in sinuous blue lines and is set against a white background. The dog's gaze seems to be riveted to some object, which it closely follows, slightly tilting its head. The design is line-like, so the bulldog appears to emerge from negative space.
The club chose a realistic drawing of a dog as its logo. The bulldog is depicted standing on four legs and with an arrogantly raised muzzle. His gaze is formidable, fangs eerily protrude from his lower lip, his forehead is wrinkled, and his ears are thrust forward. The animal is wearing a black collar with large spikes.
During this period, the anthropomorphic dog logo was used. She stands tall, crossing her legs and leaning her elbows on a large "Y." The eyes of the bulldog are large and black, and the gaze is intent. The animal is wearing a sweater with the name of the university. The big letter on which the dog is leaning has two edging stripes – black and white.
The current version is abstract: it contains only the capital "Y" and the bulldog's head, located sideways. He looks to the right and looks very menacing. Moreover, the designers returned to the stroke-like style of drawing, so the dog again seems to emerge from the negative space. Its background is the first letter of the name Yale University. The author of this version is graphic artist Jeffrey Russo.
Font and Colors of the Emblem
The identity of the oldest university in the United States contains iconic elements that reflect the history of its origin. But sports symbols are more modern and have nothing to do with legendary images. It is dominated by the bulldog, which appeared thanks to the sports department Yale Bulldogs. The last logo was nicknamed Y-Dog.
The original typeface is called Yale. It was designed by Matthew Carter, an art professor, using the oldest typeface, De Aetna. Its author is Francesco Griffo, who created the typeface back in 1495. In 2014, the university completely overhauled its typography when Carter & Cone introduced an updated set of Yale fonts in the OpenType standard. This format has replaced the outdated PostScript Type 1. Now the family of university typefaces consists of almost 30 variants.
In addition, the school has its color – Yale Blue. It is available in two shades: spot and triad. Introduced in the late 1800s, it is now found in all identity signs. Typically, a logo combines blue with white. Some emblems and coats of arms also use black and yellow.

Q: Forcefully offset div by 100px from the top using javascript? Using the scrollto.js script to navigate from section to section using next/prev button works fine.
The issue is that the navigation scrolls to the top of the browser. How do you get the "container" to be offset by 100px from the top of the browser. (because of the fixed "top-container")
(Unsuccessfully tried every method in css, and believe the answer is in javascript)
Is there a way to force an offset on a div from the top , without modifying the scrollto script?

  ...

Height:200px

Height:400px

Height:800px

Height:900px

Height:1000px

A: Here's a working version: http://jsfiddle.net/xU5BB/5/
What I changed:
You didn't need a loop in your scroll function. All you needed was a variable to keep track of the current section, so I changed quite a bit in your scroll function. This may not have been necessary, but it's more efficient now. :)
New function:
var current = 0; // be sure to declare as global (or pass as as argument)

function scroll(direction) {
    var scroll,
        collection = $('.section');

    if (direction == 'next') {
        if (current < collection.length - 1) {
            scroll = collection.get(current + 1);
            current++;
        }
    } else if (direction == 'prev') {
        if (current > 0) {
            scroll = collection.get(current - 1);
            current--;
        }
    }

    if (scroll) {
        $("#container").scrollTo(scroll, {
            duration: 100
        });
    }

    return false;
}

*

*I removed display: fixed; from .fixed-top-container so #container was always below it.

*I added overflow: auto; to #container to allow scrolling.

*I changed the height of #container. This will show a scroll bar in the container but I'm sure there are ways to hide it.  You may not like this, but it was the only way I could get it working exactly like you want.

I think that's it. See the JSFiddle.
I've seen somewhere someone who was able to hide a scroll bar by always having the element's width a little larger than the window so the scroll bar was always off the screen. That may be something you could try.
I hope this helps. :)

JFK Assassination Debate
Controversial Issues in History
The Death of Ronni Moffitt
By John Simkin
September 11, 2006 in JFK Assassination Debate
John Simkin
On 18th September, 1976, Orlando Letelier, who served as foreign minister under Salvador Allende, was traveling to work at the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington when a bomb was ignited under his car. Letelier and Ronni Moffitt, a 25 year old American involved in the campaign to bring democracy to Chile, both died of their injuries.
The director of the CIA, George H. W. Bush, was quickly told that DINA and several of his contract agents were involved in the assassination. However, he leaked a story to members of Operation Mockingbird that attempted to cover-up the role that the CIA and DINA had played in the killings. Jeremiah O'Leary in the Washington Star (8th October, 1976) wrote: "The right-wing Chilean junta had nothing to gain and everything to lose by the assassination of a peaceful and popular socialist leader." Newsweek added: "The CIA has concluded that the Chilean secret police was not involved." (11th October).
William F. Buckley also took part in this disinformation campaign and on 25th October wrote: "U.S. investigators think it unlikely that Chile would risk with an action of this kind the respect it has won with great difficulty during the past year in many Western countries, which before were hostile to its policies." According to Donald Freed Buckley had been providing disinformation for the General Augusto Pinochet government since October 1974. He also unearthed information that William Buckley's brother, James Buckley, met with Michael Townley and Guillermo Novo Sampol in New York City just a week before Orlando Letelier was assassinated.
The FBI eventually became convinced that Michael Townley was organized the assassination of Letelier. In 1978 Chile agreed to extradite him to the United States. Townley, a CIA contract agent, confessed he had hired five anti-Castro Cubans exiles to booby-trap Letelier's car. Guillermo Novo Sampol, Ignacio Novo Sampol, Virgilio Paz Romero, Dionisio Suárez, and Alvin Ross Díaz are indicted for the crime.
Townley agreed to provide evidence against these men in exchange for a deal that involved him pleading guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit murder and being given a ten-year sentence.
On the 9th January, 1979, the trial of Guillermo Novo Sampol, Ignacio Novo Sampol and Alvin Ross Díaz began in Washington. General Augusto Pinochet refused to allow Virgilio Paz Romero and Dionisio Suárez, two DINA officers, to be extradited. All three were found guilty of murder. Guillermo Novo and Alvin Ross were sentenced to life imprisonment. Ignacio Novo received eighty years. Soon after the trial Michael Townley was freed under the Witness Protection Program.
Just another example of the CIA's support of international terrorism.
http://www.november.org/razorwire/rzold/20/20008.html
William Turner , Rearview Mirror, 2001 (pages 221-22)
In 1968, as the CIA scaled back its Cuba campaign, Orlando Bosch's MIRR morphed into Cuban Power, a terrorist faction that, like the religious lunatic on the train in "On the Twentieth Century", stuck trademark red, white and blue stickers at the scene of the crime. On May 31, a Japanese freighter docked at Tampa and a British merchantman under way off Key West were racked by explosions. The following day, in Miami, a man calling himself Ernesto staged a press conference condemning countries doing business with Cuba and warned that "other ships are going to explode." Although Ernesto wore a sack over his head in the manner of a Mafia defector before a Senate hearing, he was easily identified as Bosch. That summer Cuban Power terrorism spread to Los Angeles, where an Air France office, the Mexico Tourist Department and the British consulate were bombed, and Manhattan, where the diplomatic and tourist agencies of six countries with normal relations with Cuba were hit, and a time bomb was found in the Air France facility in Rockefeller Center. For good measure, two bars frequented by pro-Castro Cubans were bombed, and the audience attending a play, "The Cuban Thing", at the Henry Miller Theater off Times Square were driven crying into the street by tear gas devices. But on September 16, 1968, Bosch was caught red-handed by FBI agents tipped off by an informant inside Cuban Power as he fired on the Polish motor ship Polancia at dock in Miami. Convicted of terrorism, he was incarcerated at the Marion Federal Penitentiary, where he played gin rummy with Rolando Masferrer, locked up for violating the Neutrality Act.
When Bosch was released from prison in the fall of 1972 through the intercession of Florida politicians eyeing the exile-bloc vote, Republican Governor Claude Kirk rhapsodized, "When I think of free men seeking a homeland, I must necessarily think of Dr. Bosch." As it turned out, the mad bomber was free to resume his old ways, this time promising "an internationalization of the war." By early 1975 he was in Chile, where General Augusto Pinochet, whose junta had bloodily overthrown Allende, put him up in a government guest house while he conferred with Pinochet's secret police, the brutal DINA (National Intelligence Directorate), which was responsible for hundreds of desaparecidos during the dictatorship. "Bosch had a book on the life of Yasir Arafat with him," reported a Miami newsman who interviewed him there, "and an impressive stack of cash on the table." On September 21, 1976, Allende's ambassador, Orlando Letelier, an effective opponent of the Pinochet regime, was driving along Washington's Embassy Row when a radio-triggered bomb under his car exploded, killing him and a companion.
As CIA director, George Bush was in the loop on this one: within a week the Agency knew that DINA and several CIA-connected Cubans were responsible. But it leaked an item to Newsweek reading, "The CIA has concluded that the Chilean secret police was not involved." The lie was put to that when DINA agent Michael V. Townley was arrested and convicted. Townley implicated two journeymen in Bosch's network, Guillermo Novo and Alvin Ross Diaz, who were tried and convicted, then acquitted at a retrial (when arrested in Miami, the pair was in possession of a pound of cocaine, a terrorist currency). And in 1993, after democracy returned to Chile, Manuel Contreras, the head of DINA at the time, was convicted of masterminding the Letelier murder. In a recent clemency petition, Contreras deposed that Pinochet approved and supervised all major DINA operations.

Kind of interesting coincidence that the CIA inspired coup of Allende occurred on 9/11/73. Our tax dollars at work helping instrument the violent overthrow of a democratically elected leader of a foreign nation ( because he was a Marxist).

Kind of interesting coincidence that the CIA inspired coup of Allende occurred on 9/11/73. Our tax dollars at work helping instrument the violent overthrow of a democratically elected leader of a foreign nation (because he was a Marxist).
Pinochet is still alive and has still to be brought to trial. One of the reasons was that he passed a law before leaving office in 1990 that gave him immunity from prosecution for human rights abuses in Chile.
As well as the killings, thousands were tortured during his period of power. This includes the current president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, and her mother, Angela Jeria.
The Supreme Court of Chile has now stripped Pinochet of his immunity from prosecution. However, he is now 90 years old and time is running out. Let he lives long enough to tell the world how he got help from the CIA to create his dictatorship. Hopefully it will also draw attention to the way the US legal system has protected CIA contract agents from the law. For example, Michael Townley confessed to being the person who planted the bomb that killed Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. Whereas his Cuban friends were sent to prison for life, Townley was allowed to go free.

It's the norm actually. The US terrorists enjoy repeat acts of terrorism on significant anniversaries.
Pinochet will never talk, with or without immunity. He made a deal with the devil. The CIA.
For those anti- CTists on this forum who have never seen the film "Missing" rent it. I know it's just a movie you say, but a very eye opening film of what this government did in Chile. Jack Lemon's character is awesome; his transformation is brilliant.

Guillermo Novo Sampol, Ignacio Novo Sampol, Virgilio Paz Romero, Dionisio Suárez, and Alvin Ross Díaz are indicted for the crime. (John Simkin)
It might be worth noting here that in an Agency contact report on Grayston Lynch, he said that the 'street word' from the Cubans is that the people who killed Letelier were the same people who killed John Roselli. He also said that the front money for both hits had emanated from Santo Traficante.
Michael Vernon Townley made a full confession to the murder of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. The authors, John Dinges & Saul Landau, used this confession for their book Assassination on Embassy Row (1980):
Townley added the final touches to the bomb as Paz held the parts in place for him. Suarez read and talked. Townley planned to place the bomb under the driver's seat; he molded the plastique to blow the full explosive force directly upward.
At about midnight he felt satisfied with his handiwork. The three left the motel in Paz's Volvo and stopped by the train station; Townley went to the ticket window to find out if there were any trains leaving for the New York area in the early morning hours. There were none.
"During the ride to Letelier's house," he wrote, "I was informed by Paz and Suarez that they expected me to place the device on the car as they wished to have a DINA agent, namely myself, directly tied to the placing of the device."
Townley kept quiet. He carried the bomb under his dark blue sweatshirt and wore corduroy pants. He hadn't planned on getting his pants dirty, but he had weighed the alternatives and decided he would have to tape the bomb himself.
Paz drove into the street parallel to Ogden Court. Townley walked from behind two houses into the turn-around area of the cul-de-sac and surveyed the block. People were entering a neighboring house, "so I turned around, returning to the parallel street, and walked up the hill on this parallel street, until I met Paz and Suarez, at which time we drove around to take up some time and then returned to the entrance of Letelier's street, where I was dropped off at the top of the hill."
On one side of the Leteliers lived an FBI agent; on the other, a Foreign Service officer. As Townley walked down the hill, some dogs barked, then stopped. Television screens glowed greyly through windows.
Letelier's car was parked in the driveway, nose in. Townley walked directly to the car, lay down on his back on the driver's side, pulled up his blue sweatshirt to expose the bomb, put his tools in accessible positions, and slid under the car. The space was small, Townley large. Moving as little as possible, he attached the bomb to the crossbeam with black electrical tape, occasionally flicking on a pencil flashlight to check its position.
Footsteps. Townley froze, trying to control his breathing. Not more than two inches separated him from the car chassis. The footsteps faded. He began to run tape from the speedometer cable to the explosive. What had seemed like an ample supply of tape now appeared scanty. He didn't want the bomb to slip or fall off.
He heard the sound of an engine: a car was approaching with its radio on. He stopped again, perspiration now pouring down his face and soaking his hands and body. The radio became louder; it was a police band. Townley fought to stay calm. The radio got still louder; now he could see the tires from the corner of his eye. But the car moved on, turned around in the cul-de-sac, and picking up speed, left the block. Townley flicked the flashlight on. The bomb was firmly attached, even though he would have preferred to run more tape around the crossbeam. He began to slide out. But had he taped the slide switch into the "on" position? He might have covered it in the "off" or "safety" position. He slid back under and felt, trying to remember which side was on and which off. He found the nub; it was off. He pushed it until it clicked, then pressed the tape into the groove with his finger to prevent the switch from falling back. But electrical tape is pliant and may not hold the switch, he thought.
Lack of time could lead to mistakes. Paz and Suarez had insisted that he place the bomb personally and that he do it that night. Townley felt a chill enter his sweat-laden body as he walked up the hill out of Ogden Court.
The Cubans picked him up on the deserted corner and headed slowly onto River Road. Townley told them of his uncertainty about the switch being in the correct position.
Townley added the final touches to the bomb as Paz held the parts in place for him. Suarez read and talked. Townley planned to place the bomb under the driver's seat; he molded the plastique to blow the full explosive force directly upward. (John Simkin quoting text)
The guy on the far right below is Virgilio Paz.
Peter Dale Scott, in his Dallas COPA talk, twice mentions the Sheridan Circle DC car bomb assassination of Orlando Letelier and Ronnie Moffett, and the role of G. W. Bush in attempting to thwart the prosecution.
Eventually the evidence was presented to a Special Federal Grand Jury in DC, the type of Grand Jury we need to solve the JFK Assassination, and there were indictments and convictions.
Edited December 9, 2006 by William Kelly
Great talk, I just watched it an hour ago. Bill what can we the people do to assist in the Grand Jury effort you and others have initiated? I did write to former Dallas DA Bill Hill a few years ago, but received no response. Big surprise. We need either the District Attorney in Dallas or a Federal Prosecutor to actually convene a Grand Jury.
A few years back I had high hopes with Fitzgerald, but he's done virtually nothing.
Do you- or anyone- know anything about the current Dallas DA?
Hi Dawn, While I don't want to hijack this post on the murder of Ronnie Moffet, the means that were used to solve that crime can and should be used to solve the JFK case. (For more info see the books Assassination on Embassy Row and Labrynth.
Fitzgerald is the type of guy you need to focus on JFK, but he's not the guy. Current DAs in Dallas and New Orleans could do what Garrison did, but they also saw what happened to him. I think a Special Fed. Grand Jury is way to go and in DC, where most of the evidence now is at the NARA, but we are going to send the first JFK Grand Jury petition to the Federal Court of North Texas soon.
We originally wanted to present it in person over the anniversary week in November in Dallas, but continuing unfolding events have interceeded. The delay is only temporary and we hope to get it into the registered mail for a certified response before the end of the year.
I will put a full update under the JFK Grand Jury Seminar in the Controversial Issues In History Section of this forum.
Rather than just convening a grand jury to investigate the case, we are are requesting a hearing at which we can present the evidence of crimes related to the assassination that can be resolved today. If we were granted such a hearign tomorrow however, I don't think we are ready to present a complete and convincing case, as we must.
What can people do to assist the grand jury project, well the evidence that will be presented must be refined and the list of living witnesses must be compiled and outstanding questions raised and,....
Those interested in pursing the grand jury project with us could read the stories about the assassination of Ronnie Moffet and learn how two enterprizing asst. DAs, Proper and Barcella, conducted their investigation, collection of evidence and prosecution of those responsible.
We're still in the collection of evidence stage, and need some guys like Proper and Barcella to take the ball. Know any?
Bill: I totally agree. No DA in Dallas is going touch this, so a Federal Grand Jury is the way to go. I am in the midst of trial prep myself today, but I will go back a re-aquaint myself with the Ronni Moffet case. I followed it closely when it first occurred. Just horrifying.
No, I don't know any DA's of the calibre of Proper and Barcella, tho I know a lot of terrific assistant DA's. I have no personal experience with Federal law, so don't know any Federal Prosecutors. But it would seem that this is the next step. Getting Congress to appoint such a person will be a problem. Also, a bigger problem is that there is no longer a special prosecutor statute. That ended after Clinton. Another hurdle. And Justice gets involved as well. Not gonna happen with the Bush Justice Dept. Perhaps Doug Caddy can weigh in here, with his background with Billie Sol, he may have some useful suggestions. Additionally, if we could find a Federal prosecutor he'd have to be appointed by W. Fat chance of that happening. But it's our last hope: Someone with the conscience, committment and authority of Garrison.

Some secrets, it turns out, are too old or too big to keep - even for the Bush administration, which has made a crusade of rooting out leaks and clamping down on information on the inner workings of government.
In the new year, the CIA, FBI, state department and more than 80 other government agencies that handle state secrets will declassify hundreds of millions of pages of documents under a new policy that institutes an automatic release of material after 25 years.
Within those documents lie the most turbulent episodes of the 20th century: the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Vietnam war, the CIA's unauthorised experiments with LSD and its internal thinking on a raft of investigations into coups and assassinations overseas, and the FBI's hunt for communist sympathisers on US soil.
The release, awaited by scholars and journalists, goes against the grain for the president, George Bush, and the vice-president, Dick Cheney, who has argued that the disclosure of information from the White House erodes presidential power.
The decision to release documents after 25 years was made in 1995 under President Bill Clinton, although the Bush administration managed to delay it. "I was pleasantly surprised," said Steven Aftergood, who runs a project on government secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists. "I could have easily imagined this administration saying: 'Oh, no we can't possibly adopt an automatic declassification policy. That will only assist the terrorists'."
Until now, material could remain secret indefinitely unless researchers lodged a specific request under freedom of information regulations. But declassification does not guarantee documents will be made public. Government agencies can withhold them on privacy grounds, to protect an intelligence source, or to avoid compromising an ongoing investigation.
The FBI has been notoriously stringent about exercising that prerogative, refusing to release documents on the assassination in Washington of the Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier by agents of the Pinochet regime on the grounds that investigators were still pursuing leads.
However, advocates of greater government accountability say an automatic release of documents remains an important step forward.
I see Bush is still protecting his daddy over the Orlando Letelier case.
W, like his daddy, is a terrorist. So of course they will protect each other.
Do you by chance get Keith Oberman in your part of the world? He is the only person on tv with the balls to
take on W, his immoral war, his lies and call him for what he is. I am amazed every night. That he is still on, that someone has not shot him. I positively love this man.


One of Canon's most popular L-series lenses, the 70-200mm f/4 is fairly small and lightweight, making it easy to carry all day. Its image quality is superb. Most even agree it is as sharp as the 70-200mm f/2.8.
It's a stop slower than its f/2.8 cousins and doesn't have IS, so another lens may be a better choice if you're shooting in poor lighting, or if you need fast shutter speeds. The 70-200 f/4L IS is similarly light but includes IS, which might also be a better compromise.
One of Canon's most popular L-series lenses, the 70-200mm f/4 is fairly small and lightweight, making it easy to carry all day. Years ago, I described its image quality as excellent. Nowadays I'd describe it as good. Is it better than a non-L, variable aperture zoom? Sure it is. It's still the "gateway" L lens, where many people realize those L lenses are more expensive because they're worth it.
It's an inexpensive lens compared to other L lenses, so it's a bargain. Will you miss the IS? Not if you're shooting in bright sunlight, but at dusk or a heavily overcast day you probably will. Is it optically as good as the newer 70-200 f/4 IS II? No. No it's not. But it's better than a 70-300 variable aperture zoom at an equally low price.
If you're looking for the best quality 70-200 f/4 lens, though, then you want the 70-200 f/4 IS II, which is far sharper throughout the zoom range. It should be; its design is 15 years newer and it's more expensive.

La bataille de Montenotte eut lieu le 23 germinal an IV () à Montenotte (Nord-Ouest de l'Italie, province de Ligurie) durant la campagne d'Italie des guerres de la Révolution française, entre l'armée française commandée par Bonaparte et les armées du royaume de Sardaigne et du Saint-Empire sous les ordres du comte Eugène-Guillaume d'Argenteau.

Contexte
Lorsque Bonaparte, fraîchement nommé commandant en chef de l'armée d'Italie, arrive à Nice le 27 mars, il trouve l'armée dans un bien piteux état. Des  annoncés par le ministère de la Guerre, beaucoup sont morts, sont prisonniers ou ont déserté. Les quelque  restant, dont  et , sont mal nourris, mal habillés, mal armés. Ils ne disposent plus que de  et  pour le transport.

En face, l'armée impériale compte 42 bataillons et 44 escadrons. L'armée piémontaise est forte de  et la cavalerie napolitaine compte  soit au total  et 200 pièces de canons.

Forces en présence

La bataille

Lundi 11 avril : combat de la redoute de Monte-Legino

Vers 3 h du matin, la  légère, du colonel Fornésy, est déployée en avant de la redoute du Monte-Legino. Le  de la  occupait Savone, sous les ordres du chef de brigade Rampon. Au col de Cadibona, les restes de la . À Legino et Quiliano,  de la  légère. À Savone,  de plusieurs unités.

Le général du Saint-Empire Argenteau quitte à cheval Pareto, ayant reçu ses ordres en retard. Ordre est donné aux troupes stationnées à Cairo, Dego (sous Rukavina), Pareto, Giusvalla et Sassello de se mettre en marche, direction Savone. À Sasello, le général Liptay étant alité, les ordres de marche sont transmis avec retard. Deux bataillons resteront à Sassello. Les troupes passeront par Giovo.

Vers 12 h, les reconnaissances trouvent l'ennemi à Montenotte ; elles le trouvent nombreux, en mouvement.

Argenteau arrive sur les hauteurs de Montenotte avec 3 bataillons. Il y est rejoint par Rukavina avec 2 bataillons, 3 compagnies du corps franc de Giulay () le tout pour un total de . Rukavina engage le premier l'attaque qui est menée par les  du corps franc de Giulay en tirailleurs. Direction Savone en refoulant les reconnaissances situées sur le Monte San-Giorgio et Monte Pra.

Après une légère fusillade, elles se replient sur la redoute du Monte-Legino. Rampon accourt et prend le commandement en chef de cette position. La redoute était située sur une crête étroite à  au sud de Montenotte. Les hommes se mettent en défense soutenus par la demi-brigade d'infanterie légère.

Rampon arrête tout un jour les colonnes des Impériaux. Il anime, exalte le soldat ; il lui communique une énergie qu'aucun effort ne peut vaincre.

Le  de la  sortit de Savone, se porta sur le lieu du combat, engagea la fusillade avec l'ennemi qui, déjà repoussé par Rampon, occupait encore nos premiers retranchements.

Trois fois l'ennemi tente l'assaut, trois fois il est repoussé. Rukavina est touché à l'épaule lors d'une attaque de la redoute.

Vers 16 h, les pertes françaises sont de 57 hommes.

Argenteau met fin aux combats. Il envoie un message au général Liptay à Sassello lui demandant des renforts. Les Impériaux se retirent sur un mamelon qui se trouvait en face de la redoute; ils avaient perdu une centaine d'hommes.

Vers 17 h 30, Rampon demande à Masséna des vivres, de l'artillerie et des renforts.

Mardi 12 avril (23 germinal an IV) : combats de Montenotte

Laharpe attaquera de front.

Masséna tournera l'ennemi par la gauche, par Altare, qui commande les positions de l'armée impériale de Montenotte.

Dans la même direction, Augereau effectuera un mouvement enveloppant de plus grande envergure encore, descendant du Monte Alto en terrain accidenté, afin de couper la retraite à l'ennemi battu. Il surveillera aussi, vers l'ouest, les Piémontais pour le cas où ils voudraient se joindre à leurs alliés.

À 1 h du matin, Bonaparte quitte Savone avec Berthier, Salicetti, Masséna, conduit par le frère du curé d'Altare. Il gagne la hauteur de Casa Bianca. Le matin, Berthier écrit à Masséna : .

À 2 h, Laharpe quitta Savone, rallia la brigade de Cervoni, passa près de la maison Doria, prit à Monte-Legino les  et  avec 4 pièces de canon (2 de 3 livres et 2 de 4 livres) que Masséna leur avait envoyées dans la nuit. Masséna part à la tête du  et  de la  demi-brigade qui occupait Cadibona situé à la gauche et doit prendre l'ennemi à dos ; il marche vers la droite. Le chef de brigade Rondeau formait l'avant-garde avec les carabiniers et les grenadiers. Le général Philippe Romain Ménard était à la tête de la , Masséna conduisait la .

Plus à gauche, Augereau avec  doit marcher de Maltare, par Carcare sur Cairo avec ordre de « tourner et d'attaquer l'ennemi ». Enfin Sérurier doit faire des démonstrations pour contenir les Piémontais.

Côté Empire, le  du rég Terzy (800 hommes) a marché toute la nuit pour rejoindre au point du jour. Un bataillon du régiment Preiss est arrivé dans la nuit mais ne sera pas utilisé dans la bataille.

Vers 6 h, au point du jour, d'une butte voisine de Montenotte, Bonaparte en surveille le développement, par un mauvais temps de pluie froide et de brouillard ; à ses côtés seul en civil au milieu des uniformes, Salicetti. Arrivée en vue de Montenotte, la colonne de Masséna se divisa. L'avant-garde et la  marchèrent droit aux Impériaux déjà rangés sur les hauteurs ; la , prenant un détour, s'avança par des sentiers difficiles sur le flanc droit ennemi.

Pour garder la route d'Altare vers Castellazzo et Bric Tesoro, Argenteau déploya cette unité ainsi qu'une compagnie du corps franc de Giulay et quelques autres éléments. Argenteau, qui n'avait reçu aucun avis de son général en chef, persista dans son projet de s'emparer de Monte-Legino, il donna donc le signal d'une attaque.

Le brouillard se lève et dévoile les pièces d'artillerie déployées sur le Monte-Legino, et la mitraille fait d'affreux ravages dans les rangs des Impériaux qui fuient en désordre. Argenteau s'aperçoit alors qu'il a devant lui des troupes renforcées. Puis il entend gronder le canon sur la route d'Altare.

Masséna attaque le petit flanc droit des Impériaux. L'avant-garde se mit aussitôt en bataille, ayant la  en seconde ligne, et engagea ses tirailleurs. Argenteau déploie pour maintenir le centre les bataillons Stein et Pellegrini sous les ordres de Nezlinger. Les 2 bataillons d'Anton sont placés en défense sur le flanc gauche (Monte Pra). Puis il vient secourir le flanc droit avec le bataillon Alvintzi.

La  cependant gravissait à la course des montagnes escarpées. Elle débusquait successivement les postes ennemis et touchait au terme qu'elle devait atteindre, lorsque les carabiniers (sous Rondeau), emportés par l'impatience de combattre, se jetèrent en tirailleurs et attaquèrent, soutenus par les grenadiers en bataille. Les défenseurs sur le flanc droit tiennent bon dans un premier temps. La ligne ennemie du flanc droit fut enfoncée et mise en fuite.

Pendant que Masséna déborde le flanc droit, Laharpe attaque les défenseurs du Monte Pra. La  légère passe à l'attaque sur l'aile gauche de l'ennemi qui, en un instant, fut mis en déroute et culbuté dans le ravin en arrière de Montenotte. La  encore trop en arrière, ne put lui couper la retraite. Les Impériaux furent du reste poursuivis avec chaleur par l'aide de camp Murat.

Argenteau en retraite est obligé de défiler sous le feu de Masséna, qui occupe les hauteurs, ils n'essayèrent pas de prolonger une inutile résistance. Le régiment Alvintzi assure l'arrière-garde au travers de Montenotte. Les régiments Pellegrini et Stein se replient vers Dego, Alvintzi et Trezy vers Pareto, Anton (500 h) vers Mioglia.

Vers 10 h, du champ de bataille, la  marcha sur Carcare ; elle y marcha sans les carabiniers qui, emportés sur les traces de l'ennemi, se trouvaient à plus de trois lieues de distance. Le général en chef avec son état-major avait joint la demi-brigade.

 Impériaux restèrent sur le champ de bataille,  sont faits prisonniers, quatre drapeaux, deux canons, une grande quantité d'armes et de munitions demeurèrent entre les mains des Français.

Dans la soirée, conférence avec Masséna, Laharpe, Augereau. Bonaparte couche à Carcare.

No more egg delicacies in Assam for a few months
By editor | Thursday, Jun 14, 2007 (05:06 am)
Did you know that there was an Act banning sale of egg-bearing fishes? Ministers of Assam really seem to be looking into records and Acts. The Assam Fisheries Act, 1953 prohibits sale of egg-bearing fish during the breeding seasons i.e. between April 1 and July 15 every year. The Act was put in place to ensure that the fish production in the State goes up.
According to an official press release here, Fisheries Minister Nurjamal Sarkar has directed the district and police administrations all over the State to strictly enforce the Act and to take ensure that it is fully implemented. The Minister is of the view that this would lay the foundation for a blue revolution in Assam
And yes the Minister seems to be aware about the lack of awareness about the Act as he has also asked the civil administration to gear up the publicity campaign to make the fishermen in particular and the people in general about the Act banning sale of such fishes.
The Minister is of the view that this would lay the foundation for a blue revolution in Assam

BANGKOK -- Cambodia has received $20.68 billion in foreign aid since the early 1990s to build a democratic society following decades of unrest, but this support may be in jeopardy as Prime Minister Hun Sen turns the country into essentially a one-party state.
The aid came to the Southeast Asian nation in the form of grants and loans from donors including individual countries and the European Union as well as international and nongovernmental organizations between 1992 and 2017, according to a committee of the contributing states.
China contributed the most at $3.1 billion, followed by Japan's $2.8 billion and $1.3 billion from the U.S. Japan was the top contributor through the mid-2000s. But China sharply accelerated its support thereafter, and the government of Hun Sen -- who has remained in power since 1985 -- has grown closer to Beijing.
The 1991 Paris Peace Accords, which put an end to 20 years of unrest including the massacre of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge regime and the struggle against de facto control by Vietnam, have served as the foundation for the devastated country's reconstruction. The agreement reached with the United Nations as well as Eastern and Western countries stated that the primary objective of rebuilding should be "full respect for human rights and fundamental freedom for all" Cambodians.
But Hun Sen's administration has raised concerns among international donors on this front, based on its actions since the opposition gained more support in local elections last year.
Cambodian opposition forces, independent media outlets, human rights advocates and NGO members all have faced persecution since last summer. The ruling Cambodian People's Party had no real competition in last month's general election after the country's Supreme Court outlawed the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party in November, ordering it to dissolve.
Western countries were quick to condemn the election and the government's crackdown on dissent. Washington and the EU decided against funding the election and threatened sanctions. The U.S. called the election "flawed," while Canada described it as "undemocratic."


Mike Thalassitis' Love Island co-star Montana Brown, 23, was seen struggling to hold back tears when she arrived at the funeral. Love Island stars Zara McDermott, Ellie Brown, 21, Alexandra Cane, 27, and Samira Mighty, 22, were pictured arriving to pay their respects at the church in Southgate today. Camilla Thurlow, 29, and her boyfriend Jamie Jewitt, 28, arrived hand-in-hand, with Jonny Mitchell, 28, close behind them. TOWIE's Mario Falcone, 31, Liam Gatsby, and Rebekah Vardy, 37, were also in attendance.
Model Ellie O'Donnell, 22, who was a close friend of Mike's, looked sombre in all black as she arrived at the ceremony.
Earlier today, Montana told her 1.3 million Instagram followers she would be speaking at the service.
Sharing a screenshot of a FaceTime video call between them, she said: "Miss the FaceTimes. Never felt so empty and anxious.
Mike Thalassitis died last month at the age of 26. The Love Island star was found hanged in a park in Edmonton, North London.
He subsequently went on to star in Celebs Go Dating last year.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police released a statement, which did not name Mike, saying: "Police were called to a park near Latymer Way, N9 at 0928hrs on Saturday, March 16 to reports of man found hanged.
"Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found a man, aged in his 20s, deceased," the statement continued.
They said a file would be prepared for the coroner.
