Lazio's Rocchi out for six weeks
SoccerNews in Serie A 18 Aug 2008
Lazio Roma striker Tommaso Rocchi will be out for at least six weeks as result of a leg fracture suffered at the Olympics.
Rocchi suffered the injury a day ahead of Italy's opening match with Honduras, but medical staff claimed that it was 'only' a muscular problem. In fact, the player made an appearance during the second group match, with South Korea, and even managed to score.
Tests in Rome on Monday pointed out that the forward actually broke his right calf-bone, and needs a six weeks recovery time.
In the last four seasons, Rocchi only missed eight matches and scored 58 goals.

History of Half Moon Bay Weyr by Mynti of PW, with permission from Anne McCaffrey.
This history applies *only* to the game PernWorld MUSH.
The last Threadfall Pern would ever see had been well over 50 turns past, but some conflict between Holds, and Holds and Weyrs occurred. Many Holders saw an opportunity to expand their territory, since thread would no longer pose a threat to land and forests. There were border disputes and political struggles between Lord Holders, with many of the working holders and crafters caught in the middle. Some of these holders and crafters left their Holds to avoid the conflicts and start new Holds. As before, the Harpers offered arbitration and the Weyrs police protection in such disputes. Some Lord Holders refused to support the Weyrs that had protected them and disputed the authority of the Weyrs. Many believed the dragons and their riders were relics of the past. Many riders moved to new Weyrs in the Southern Continent,where the abundant environment could better support dragonkin. The reproduction rate of the dragons dropped off, but there were still clutches at many weyrs, and still interested candidates. The founders of Half Moon Bay Weyr and Half-Moon Bay Hold were born in these troubled times.
Jazmyn, rider of Gold Crystath, was born the daughter of the Lord Holder of Red Sands Hold. Her family was proud when she was searched, but many Lord Holders on Ista believed that since the eradication of thread, the Weyr should learn to take care of itself. When the old Ista Weyrwoman retired, Andria, an older junior queen rider from Fort was brought in to be Weyrwoman. She was weyrbred, and believed that the Holds should always support the Weyrs, as they had when thread was a threat. Her hidebound, old-timer ways and fiery outspoken nature quickly upset the uneasy peace between Ista Weyr and the Lord Holders. Negotiations broke down, and hostilities grew.
Riders were not welcomed in most of the Istan Holds and some Lord Holders threatened to form militia to protect their property from what they called the Weyrs oppression. Andria believed that in the event of any sort of uprising, a show of force would keep the Holds in line. She knew that the huge dragons could be very intimidating and even suggested using firestone against an opposing army. Andria was persuasive and many riders, the bronze riders in particular, took her side in spite of S'ford, the Weyrleader's plea for restraint. Some of the holdbred riders disagreed with Andria, including Jazmyn. When Crystath was close to rising, Jazmyn could not bear to have her flown by any rider who would think of flaming people, and Andria forbade S'ford's Nanth, from participating. With Nanth's help, Jazmyn took Crystath from the Weyr, and flew west, searching for a safe island she had heard of in tales told by the seacrafters she grew up with.
Jazmyn and Crystath found the small tropical forest in the center of the crater and began to live as exiles. One day, when Crystath was very closeto rising, she became upset during a particularly bad squall. The gold told Jazmyn that voice from the sea were crying for help, and became restless, begging Jazmyn to fly with her into the storm. Jazmyn quickly responded, and they flew into the blinding rain and gale-force winds, southeast to where a fleet of 30 small ships and boats were floundering helplessly, overcrowded with terrified people. Crystath began to pluck swimming survivors from the water, carrying them to the larger boats and the one 3 masted schooner, which were weathering the gale well. The Gold called for help, sending as far as she could, for there were just too many people for her to rescue, even with the help of a large pod of ship-fish, who had been the ones that Crystath had heard.
As the storm continued, the wrecked boats and people began to drift. It looked like there would be no way to save them all, when a dark Bronze appeared from "between" over the schooner. The bronze and his rider worked quickly to aid Jazmyn, Crystath and the shipfish, and they managed to save all hands. As the darkness came, the seas calmed. On the horizon was the shadow of the broken crater of the island. Crystath and the bronze helped tow the damaged larger boats, and the shipfish pushed or towed the remaining vessels, while the captain of the schooner steered a course for the island. They all landed in the quiet bay which was shaped like a half-dark moon.
S'lvyn was an apprentice smith who grew up at Nabol. When he was 4, he saw a beautiful old white dragon, who he told people for years after had smiled at him. In his adolescence, he was obsessed with dragons and technology, including computers and far-speak devices. His social life began when he was searched by High Reaches, where he impressed the bronze Jayleath. Jayleath's success at mating flights provided his rider with many chances to enjoy closecompany, but none of the riders won S'lvyn's heart, until his 35th turn, when Jayleath flew Alianth and he met R'neir. The 22 turn Green rider came froma farmcraft background, and his family had all but disowned him when he was searched. He and S'lvyn became weyrmates, and S'lvyn found he could love something besides Jayleath… and science.
The Holder and hold/Weyr conflicts spread across the North Continent. Though the hostilities never reached the point of civil war, there was much confusion and fear brought about by the holder disputes; and mistrust and resentment of the Weyr's police activities. Many innocent people were trapped between the lines, and some factions took advantage of the strife to pray on the helpless.
When word reached the Weyr that roving bandits had taken over the small Hold near R'neir's family's farm, he impulsively flew on his green to aid his family. The bandits were well armed and prepared for the possibility of dragons appearing to aid the Holders. When it became obvious that only asingle green had come, the bandits attacked. Alianth was too small to successfully defend herself and protect her rider. Horrified to see the dragon and rider attacked, the holders and farmers rose up against the bandits, but the small green was already badly wounded. Her cry for help brought S'lvyn and Jayleath and several blue and browns with their riders, but it was too late. When S'lvyn and the other High Reaches riders arrived most of the bandits had been defeated, and the rest had run.
The holders and farmers, including R'neir's family were shocked and grief-stricken. R'neir and his terribly hurt green had attempted to take off from the center of the mob. Alianth had creeled in pain as her broken wing failed and they went *between*..Forever. The riders helped capture the remaining bandits, and shuttled healers to the site to help with the wounded. The wingleader dismissed the S'lvyn, who returned with Jayleath to the weyr they had shared with the green and her rider.
S'lvyn mourned for weeks, and finally could take it no longer. He had been such a loner that there were few friends to console him, and the ones who tried could not bring him out of his depression. One day he repaired some provisions, and without a good-by to anyone, he mounted his dark bronze and together they flew toward the setting sun. They flew on for a long while, pausing only to rest and eat, until it became obvious that they were heading into rough weather. S'lvyn asked Jayleath to fly lower, and find a sheltered place, when Jayleath told his rider heard the call for help. A gold, in desperate need, trying to rescue people drowning in the storm. S'lvyn snapped out of his darkness and saw the image of the schooner, listing in the heavy blow. He told Jayleath to go *between*.
The people Jazmyn, Crystath, S'lvyn and Jayleath had rescued were sailing west from Tillek to find new territory to settle. They had come from all across the Northern Continent, as far as Crom, to escape the borderconflicts and form new Holds and Crafthalls. Most of the usable lands on the continent were already claimed, so they continued on to the western shore,seeking a way to continue their quest. At Tillek, they sought passage by ship to lands across the western sea, seeking the Western continent shown on the Ancient's maps.
The seacrafters of Tillek were suspicious of the newcomers and did not welcome them. Shipmaster Cuthburt; well past his 50th turn and looking forward to retirement; was greatly upset by the treatment his holders were giving to the refugees. When he spoke up for them at an emergency conclave, he was shouted down. Some of his rivals, eager to improve their positions, suggested he join the "refuse" of the conflict. Disgusted, he disowned the hold and resigned hisposition on the spot, pledging to guide the refugees to a safe haven, where they could start a new hold.
In the following weeks, he made ready the expedition to the south, convincing other ship owners to join him. When the time came to depart, they were still short of craft to carry the increasing numbers of new settlers. Under pressure from the Holders increasing hostilities, they set out. Cuthburt warned the ones who overloaded the smaller boats, but they would not heed him. Many saw their only hope to make the dangerous passage in anything that would float. Four sevendays out of Tillek their luck ran out, and a storm hit. A pod of ship-fish assisted in the attempt to recover the many swept overboard or capsized, but the situation looked hopeless. It seemed a true miracle when the two great dragons appeared, and helped them to a safe harbor.
After several days the settlers, lead by Cuthburt and the other seacrafters, recovered from their ordeal. Exploration of the crater island and the surrounding archipelago revealed a bountiful paradise. There was also evidence of camps, undoubtedly the bases of pirates. The seafaring versions of bandits had increased, along with the opportunists who plagued the mainland..
Few ships attempted the voyage to Southern Continent, and even the fishcrafters now only harvested close to the protection of populated areas on the shore. These revelations brought great anxiety to the otherwise relieved and hopeful settlers. Jazmyn and S'lvyn made weyrs for themselves and their dragons in the crater, on the side that was lit most of the day by the warm sun. They would the camps of the new holders often, and took turns flying sweeps to make their guests less tense about the pirate threat.
Jazmyn was jarred out of a sound sleep the morning following the rescue by Crystath and Jayleath bulging.. and the strong, wild feelings of an impending mating flight. S'lvyn looked as if in a state of shock as he watched the dragons blood their kill. Some of the new holders had come to see about the noise, and the looks on some of them told that they knew what was about to happen. Crystath bugled defiantly to Jayleath as she tossed yet another drained wherry aside. The great gold crouched and launched herself up to the crest of the crater, followed instantly by the eager dark bronze. S'lvyn approached Jazmyn, looking very dazed. The crowd attempted to shield their eyes and follow the flight of the pair as the spiraled above the islands. When they were out of site, the people began to head back to the Hold, some of them glancing back to see S'lvyn lead Jazmyn into her weyr.
A couple of sevendays later, Crystath heard a shipfish call for help, and Jazmyn, S'lvyn and Jayleath responded. They came upon a large freight scow, obviously bound from Southern, loaded with goods. She was under attack by the crew of a sloop, who were fighting hand-to-hand with the small but brave crew of the freighter. A few men had been knocked overboard, which brought the shipfish and the call for help.
The appearance of the dragons pretty much stopped the fight, and whenJayleath caught hold of the sloop's mast and backwinged, listing the smaller craft over so far she nearly capsized, the pirates broke off the attack. Crystath and Jayleath let the sloop sail off to the east, ignoring the curses screamed by the pirates. Together they towed the scow to the sheltered bay of the island.
The crew of the freighter were welcomed by the new holders. The scow and her cargo were bound for Tillek, but captain Todde, who was owner-on-board, offered his cargo as payment for the timely rescue. He said he had lost three shiploads over two turns, and that this shipment was to be his last, as he was bankrupt. Jazmyn and S'lvyn told the trader that he need notpay them, and Cuthburt and his cronies took the opportunity to offer Todde a chance to join their new Hold, as his ship and know-how would be valuable. He accepted eagerly.
As Crystath grew egg heavy, S'lvyn and Jayleath tried to get Crystath to return to Ista, but the Queen and her headstrong rider refused. Under the watchful eye of Jayleath and a crowd from the new hold, Crystath laid her clutch of 15 eggs in a cavern on the north side of the crater, that the determined queen widened the entrance to. Cuthburt approached Jazmyn and bowed. "A lovely clutch, from a fine pair, Weyrwoman!" he said. Jazmyn looked shocked, but thanked the old Master. S'lvyn looked even more shocked than the Gold rider.
As remote as Half-Moon Bay Hold; which the new residents now called it; was, word of events from all over Pern still managed to get passed on by far-ranging dragons. News of an important conclave, where all Weyrleaders and major and minor holders were invited to attend and make their thoughts known; to re-draw borders and possibly find an equitable end to the conflicts; reached the new Hold. Cuthburt and the Todde, who had been appointed representatives by the Holders council, came to ask Jazmyn and S'lvyn for help with transportation to the meeting.
Neither of the riders had been on the mainland since their voluntary exile, and their curiosity overran their reluctance to return. Their dragons had told other dragons that they were safe, and no one had come to take them back. One less mouth to fed in a Weyr during theses times was an advantage,it seemed. On the day of the meeting, Cuthburt and the trader mounted Jayleath, taking a seat behind S'lvyn, soon joined by Jazmyn after Crystath had indicated quite firmly that her rider was to go too, while she stayed and guarded her clutch that was to hatch in a week. They flew quickly to above the crater, the two holders obviously to excited with their first trip on dragonback to be frightened; though neither was properly prepared for the cold blackness of *between*.
The meeting was long, and boring to the riders; though it seemed that a lot of progress was being made. At least there were fewer shouting matches and fights then at meetings they had both attended in the recent past. Cuthburt met with other holders and crafters in small sessions, and toward the end of the large meeting on the second day, he finally got his turn to speak. He spoke of the settlers and their journey, the timely rescue, and the decision to found a new Hold on the islands to the west of Tillek. He smiled, noting that he now had everyone's attention, and stood to unfurl a bright banner, not unlike the banners of the established Weyrs. The banner was light blue-green, with a purple silhouette of a great cone-shaped mountain, with one side missing, in the center of the field. A shiny black shadow of a shipfish in mid leap hung before the purple mount. He smiled at Jazmyn and S'lvyn and spoke. "I represent the new independent hold of Half-Moon Bay. We are self sufficient and beholding to no one EXCEPT our Weyr… Half Moon Bay Weyr. I would like to present to this conclave the Weyrwoman Jazmyn, rider of Queen Crystath and Weyrleader S'lvyn, rider of Bronze Jayleath, the leaders of Half Moon Bay Weyr."
And so was born Half Moon Bay Weyr….

Q: Which atomic model is most associated with shells? Would the Bohr model be enough to explain electron shells? Especially the valence and conduction shells.

A: No, the model would / does not explain shells. It cannot deal with the concept of an upper limit on electron occupancy for each shell and it cannot explain the  splitting of the spectral lines observed in the presence of external  magnetic fields. The structure and behaviour of the atom would still be a mystery under the Bohr model.

When we speak of natural mineral waters Hungarian natural resources are outstanding in the world to say the least. The basis of all these properties is the tectonic structure, the geological environment of Hungary.
The basin-like character of our homeland as well as its special Palaeozoic development lasting many millions of years made the build-up of a sedimentary rock-mass some few kilometres thick. Most of these rocks are capable of storing a significant amount of natural water. Practically there is no part of the country – apart from the hilly regions and highlands – where there are no formations with good aquifer characters under the surface.
Thanks to its geological resources, Hungary also has an outstanding potential for utilizing thermal springs. The crustal within the borders of the country is relatively thin it is altogether 23-27 km thick. As a result the temperature rise associated with depth increase, i.e. the geothermic gradient is of outstandingly high value. The average of this globally is an increase of 30 °C/1000 m while within the confines of the Hungarian basin it is 50 °C/1000 m. The wide spread geothermic anomaly in the Carpathian Basin is unique in Europe and considering its spread and value it is considered to be one of a kind in the whole world as well.
Looking back in history there is no definite borderline between medical and mineral waters. The separation of these two had started only in the second half of the 20th century. The borderline between medical and mineral waters on the one hand and mineral waters and other waters on the other hand in Hungary were finalized by the 16th paragraph of the Bath Act passed in 1929. According to it every litre of mineral water must contain at least 1000 mg of solid ingredients dissolved from the minerals while filtering through the surface soil.
In previous times the requirements in case of waters for drinking were mostly to prevent and cure digestive discomforts while nowadays the biological need for water is becoming the top priority. This change is reflected in the mineral content requirements of mineral waters as well. The impact is that we consume natural mineral waters with low mineral content in an increasing quantity.
When we speak of waters for human consumption we have to distinguish between different categories like natural mineral water, well water, medical water and drinking water. Each of these is regulated by acts and regulations which must be obeyed by the bottlers and distributors.
By virtue of legal regulations, the definition of natural mineral water is as follows: a kind of water which is – in its natural form – intended for human consumption and officially recognized as a result of a specified procedure. It must have favourable effects health-wise thanks to its mineral and trace element content as well as its other components. It can thus clearly be distinguished from drinking water. A further important provision is that it must originate from a secure aquifer layer, has to be originally pure without any contamination and its composition and temperature should be nearly constant.
Originally spring water marked a water reserve where water gushed forth from deep down but it means something else regarding regulations. The exact definition of spring water had been controversial within professional communities specializing in mineral waters, but it became unequivocal with the regulation that came into effect with Hungarian membership in the European Union. Spring water originates in deep layers, it is bottled locally, its parameters at its place of origin must parallel the specifications of drinking water regulation and it has to be handled the same as mineral waters. The use of carbon dioxide as an additive is allowed while the iron and sulphur content has to be extracted from it. It must be of constant composition and it has to match the microbiological specifications, too. Nevertheless, it does not have to be recognized nor does it have to originate from a protected aquifer layer.
Popularly it is believed that medical waters are the warm waters of thermal baths. In fact medical waters can be either cold or warm, and they are both for bathing and drinking. If we want to put it simply we can say that medical water is a mineral water which has a proven medical effect. The main types of medical waters are waters with common salt content (e.g. Sárvár, Parád), with iodine (e.g. Hajdúszoboszló, Bükkszék), the earthy calcareous water (e.g. Bükfürdő, Budapest), sulphurous water (e.g. Harkány, Balf), carbonated (e.g. Balatonfüred, Kékkút) and with radon content (e.g. Hévíz, Eger).
This is water which is either spring water, water coming from below the earth or is collected on the surface prepared, i.e. filtered and cleaned before letting it into the pipes. Its quality parallels the limit values by definition of law. . In order to provide the consumers with tap water paralleling provisions in force, the water service companies use different water treatment technologies, if needed. The quality is continuously controlled.
Carbonated or soda water is simply a drinking water saturated with carbonic acid, enriched with carbon dioxide and unobjectionable from bacteriological and chemical aspects. It is distributed in soda water siphons. This kind of water is produced by many in Hungary: there are 1.500 soda water plants and thus it is not surprising that an increasing number of people think that soda water is a "Hungaricum". Many assume that soda water was invented by Ányos Jedlik, a teacher at the Benedictine secondary school in Győr. The scientist got seriously engaged in the project of working out the industrial production scheme of soda water and artificial mineral water in Hungary between 1828 and 29, which had been already used by physicist in Geneva since 1798. His merit in fact was that he found the solution all by himself without any outside help solely by relying on his inclination to experiment. He invented a machine which made saturation with carbon dioxide cheap. The medical professor's friends made him utilize this procedure not for the sake of earning but because the patients in the hospital were grateful for the refreshing soda water, the artificial medical water. Soon the doctors' veracity had been proved: a cholera epidemic swept through the country in 1831-32 and soda water – which did not diffuse the infection – brought relief and ease to those suffering. The professor realized another important thing later on: he racked the saturated water, i.e. the soda water through the pipe reaching the bottom of the vessel thus avoiding the loss of carbon dioxide due to the contact with air and also to the collision of water particles.

Trump – I disagree with Omar 'send her back' chants
Posted on 18 July 2019.
Do Trump rally taunts mark new strategy?
Who are the congresswomen known as the squad?
The chant comes as tensions escalate between the president and the four Democratic congresswomen over recent tweets, in which Mr Trump told the then four politicians to "go back" to their countries.
What's the reaction?
Ms Omar told reporters on Thursday: "Every single person who is in this country, who's aspiring to become part of the American fabric understands that nothing this president says should be taken to heart."
"As he's spewing his fascist ideology on stage, telling US citizens to go back because they don't agree with his detrimental policies for our country, we tell people that here in the US dissent is patriotic, here in the US disagreement is welcome."
On Wednesday, Miss Omar tweeted lines from Maya Angelou's poem Still I Rise and later shared a photo of herself in the House of Representatives saying, "I am where I belong".
On Twitter, #IStandWithIlhan began trending as Democrats expressed their support for Mis Omar and criticised the president for prompting the chants with his rhetoric.

Other Americans told to 'go home'
Chuck Schumer ✔ @SenSchumer
President @realDonaldTrump whipped up a toxic brew of racism, xenophobia, nativism
His crowd chanting "send her back" about a member of Congress & US citizen
The way he appeals to the worst instincts of some people was despicable—eerily familiar to what happens in dictatorships
9,306 11:53 AM – Jul 18, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy 5,240 people are talking about this
Some conservatives have also censured the use of the phrase.
Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee Tom Emmer – who, like Miss Omar, represents Minnesota in Congress – told reporters he did not agree with the language.
according to Politico. He said the chant was "not acceptable".
North Carolina congressman Mark Walker said that he "struggled" with the chant and that the focus should be on "her history, words & actions" instead of "phrasing that's painful to our friends in the minority communities".
His fellow Republican Adam Kinzinger said the chants were "ugly".
Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said "chanting for her deportation based on her exercise of the First Amendment is disgusting".
Senator Lindsay Graham, a vocal Trump supporter, defended the president, though he said he wished Mr Trump would focus on "policies not the personality".
"I've said before that if you're a Somali refugee wearing a Maga hat, he doesn't want to send you back. You'd probably have dinner at the White House," Mr Graham told reporters.
Republican leader Mitch McConnell told the Fox Business Network on Thursday that Mr Trump is "on to something" by attacking the four congresswomen as their policies will be important in the upcoming election.
"We're in a big debate now and next year about what we want America to be like. Do we really think socialism applies here at a time of great prosperity, 50-year-low unemployment?"
A recipe for a toxic campaign
Three years ago, crowds at Donald Trump rallies called for the imprisonment of a political adversary. On Wednesday, they chanted for a member of the opposition party to be expelled from the country.
These are not behaviours emblematic of a healthy, well-functioning democracy.
The president's defenders have parsed his incendiary language in an effort to explain why telling people to "go back" to the "totally broken and crime infested places from which they came" is not simply the latest iteration of age-old racist invective. It was, they insist, just a Trumpian twist on "love it or leave it" sloganeering.
When the rhetoric filters down to the president's vocal crowds, however, such nuance is lost.
Mr Trump is an instinctual politician who senses weakness and opportunity and often acts before a strategy is fully formed. The goal, however, is clear. He is both trying to sow divisions within Democratic ranks and rile up a base whose enthusiastic turnout will be needed in the coming election.
Such a course is not without risk, however. His actions could motivate and unify opponents as much as they do his base. It's a recipe for a toxic, divisive campaign that will get ugly – and fast.
What else has Mr Trump said?
In an interview with the Daily Mail just before the Greenville rally, Mr Trump said he was "not unhappy" with the way the row has played out and said he believes he is "winning the political fight…by a lot".
"I'm not relishing the fight," Mr Trump said. "I'm enjoying it because I have to get the word out to the American people. And you have to enjoy what you do. I enjoy what I do."
What's the background?
In a series of tweets on Sunday, the president said the four congresswomen – who he did not identify – "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe" and should "go back".
The president has denied accusations that the tweets were racist, but the Democrat-controlled House passed a symbolic resolution denouncing Mr Trump's "racist comments that have legitimised fear and hatred of New Americans and people of colour".
A July poll by the Pew Research Center found that while 62% of overall Americans believe openness to people from around the world is "essential to who we are as a nation", 57% of Republicans said the US risks "losing our identity as a nation" if it is too open.
Earlier on Wednesday, a bid to launch impeachment proceedings against Mr Trump was blocked in the US House of Representatives after it failed to win enough support, with only 95 Democrats voting in favour.

"I never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue, but we did what we needed to do," he told a cheering crowd of supporters.


This is a bright, clear light that actually matches its watt rating (~14.7 watts at a 15 watt rating). I've tried other brands and these SANSI LEDs are by far the best I've ever used. I've got 5 at home where I keep all my tropicals and 3 on my little desk "arboretum" at work. Many of these I've had for over a year with no burnouts, dead or dimmed LEDs, or any trouble at all. And I'm about to buy more since I just set up a new track lighting system at home and I'll be putting together an indoor water garden in the coming months.
I prefer the full spectrum versions as they produce a beautiful crystal clear warm white glow that feels just like sunlight - it's plenty good for the plants but it also feels good to me, too. I want to just fill my house with these, but I'm not quite at that budget yet. Though if you watch carefully occassionally they'll have a sale or a coupon and you can get a pretty solid discount. But even at full price they beat any competition on Amazon.
They do get pretty warm to the touch, and there's a warning to not use them in an enclosed light fixture. I recommend you heed that warning for maximum life and efficiency. But they've never gotten hot enough to burn.
If you need a grow light with an edison base, buy these. You won't regret it.
Not sure about longevity but i'm currently working on putting together a high techie herb grow box (legal) and these lights are perfect in many ways for my specific application.
Far from finished but i plan on picking up a few more of these. Quite a few more with time as the build grows. In total there will be 2 up top in the germination/cloning chamber, 4 (two additonal in the area seen as with these i can add or decrease intensity in 15 watt increments as needed depending on plant requirements), 4 more in the bottom identical chamber.
Lights are mounted at ~ 15" from dwc.
I know i was looking for more practical information other than a light over a plant while i was shopping around trying to find the ideal fit so i hope this helps someone.
One light would suffice in this space, two ideal. I want two more incase i toy with flowers or really fruit etc more light hungry and demanding.
Sorry for the novel here but i just want to put out a review of what i would have wanted to see when making my purchase. I'm very glad i did again they are exactly what i was shopping for i just hope they go strong for a very long time as they aren't cheap in qty.
Very Bright! Seems made well, now time will tell if it can grow some aquarium plants.
This is a great growbulb! I bought the 15-watt for my office with no windows and my plants are growing steadily and staying healthy! It screws into a normal lamp easily. I will add, it is rather heavy for a lightbulb and it only casts light in one direction (whereas normal bulbs cast light in all directions), but it??s not too much of an issue. I??ve been using it on a timer for about 9 hours per day for about a month and it??s still going strong. I??d recommend this bulb, but be sure to purchase the correct wattage depending on the light needs of your plants. I??d say the plants I have under this lamp prefer medium light.
Amazing Light used the 15 watt to grow my tomato Tony Tim, then switched to the 30watt when it came out and my plant is doing amazing.
I have over 25 tomatoes on this dwarf tomato plant.
Full disclosure, I was given a discount to review this product. That being said this light is leaps and bounds ahead of other comparable e26 grow lights on Amazon. It came well packaged and is solidly constructed. I've used, and very much enjoyed, the 15w version in the past and with great results. My only concern was that though being twice as powerful as it's smaller cousin it did not translate to twice the output. This is most likely due to a more frosted lens. At first I was not a fan of this, since I liked the more focused lens of the 15w, but the 35w lens did scatter the light allowing for more light to penetrate to the lower parts of the plant. I will be looking at purchasing more of these lights in the future.
Overall appearance and emission are high quality.
This light is incredibly bright. It has a very natural (sun) like light color appearance. The diodes get hot but the rest of the light is well vented. I did not analyze the spectrum. Overall appearance and emission are high quality.
This light is being used on an enclosed orchid and tropical plant terrarium.
two downsides that are NOT deal breakers. First is that its on the heavy side. Seems like its built very sturdy with tons of heat sink. Second is the bulb did not sit flush INSIDE of those metal light domes you can get at home depot. Perhaps they make deeper domes.
I'm testing this prior to buying a second.
It's impressive - full spectrum led's are a beautiful thing.
These bulbs are so bright and efficient compared to t5. Only disadvantage is you'll need some height for these, they're that bright. I'm talking about the little 15w ones btw. It's impressive - full spectrum led's are a beautiful thing.
I have several grow light bulbs over plants in my house, and all the plants under the lights flourish much more than plants not under the lights. The first obvious difference between this light bulb and the others I have is that this gives off a white light. The others I have are combinations of blue and red LEDs, and they tend to give a reddish tinge to the foliage. The plants look perfectly normal under this light--with one exception.
The only difference I've seen in the African violets I have under this bulb is that they are very lush and covered with blooms. I've used this light for about six weeks and started out with newly purchased violets. All but one have continued to bloom profusely while others I bought at the same time and in the same blooming stage that are on a windowsill or are under different lights have lost most of their blooms. The light covers a wide area, too, so it works for a large number of small plants or one or a few large plants.
Super impressive, noticeable difference in just a few days with my plants.

BOSSIP Exclusive: 'WAGS' Stars Natalie Halcro And Olivia Pierson Talk Ignoring The Wife Hierarchy And Staying Unbothered By Groupies
Posted on June 26, 2016	 - By Bossip Staff
'WAGS' Stars Natalie And Olivia Give The Girlfriend Perspective
The WAGS are back for a second season, with some new faces in the mix this year. We took a moment to catch up with "the single girls," cousins Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson, to chat about how they manage while being "at the bottom of the totem pole" in this group of ladies, and what misconceptions people have about them as the women who date pro ballers…
The wives have detailed how for WAGS, there's basically a totem pole of status and importance — and as girlfriends or singles, you're basically at the bottom of it. How do you navigate the "hierarchy" of the WAGS life?
Natalie: Laugh. Laugh. And laugh some more lol. Women being ranked based on their marriage status? Is this the middle ages? I've been talked down to because I'm not tied to a man.
Olivia: I think it is a bit silly to be honest. No one is 'higher' than me and certainly is not just because you are married. I laugh it off and it bugs people which is just fine.
There seemed to be constant friction between the wives and the girlfriends — particularly the two of you — on the show last season. What exactly do you think the wives have against single women?
Natalie: I actually don't think it's single women they have a problem with I think it's just us. They've used us being the "single girls" as some kind of insult. But in reality, it's us. We have fun. We're not royalty.
Olivia: Right, I don't necessarily think they have anything against 'single girls', I just think they can't handle Natalie and I and our personalities. Natalie and I don't take ourselves too seriously and we are more care free and the wives are the exact opposite. So I think naturally they feel a certain type of way towards us.
As women who mainly date athletes — Olivia, you've even jokingly described yourself as a "jersey-chaser" — what do you think is the biggest misconception about you?
Olivia: That you are a gold digger. I fully take care of myself and don't need a man to pay for anything, which I take pride in.
Natalie: The obvious one would be that I'm a gold digger. What most people don't know is that I pay for every part of my life. I pride myself on being independent and I take care of myself financially and emotionally.
Groupies and side chicks seem to be a major concern for the wives of athletes. As singles, do you think you feel less concern about other women being around/coming for whatever man you're dating at the moment?
Olivia: If I'm in the 'dating' stage of the relationship I keep conscious of how the man carries himself when I'm there and not there. But ultimately if we are not exclusive then I have no real say in that regard. I just sit back and observe and if I see/hear something I don't like I then make a judgement call if I want to move forward with them or not.
Natalie: I'm not really concerned with other women regardless of what relationship status I have with my man. I don't think it's healthy to worry. If there's an obvious issue then deal with it but to just be concerned with women because they are around isn't healthy.
Olivia, what's it like having your sister on the show with you now?
Olivia: I think it's great having my sister Sophia on the show. She adds some flavour that Natalie and I don't. I am a huge family person so the more I can have around the better.
Natalie: Yes, Olivia and I are so laid back and don't care much when the other girls bash us, but Sophia isn't having it! She calls them out on everything and it makes things entertaining. She's a bit of a fire-starter.
Season 2 of WAGS premieres tonight at 10pm on E!. Tune in for the drama, catfights, and shade that's sure to come this season.

Alamo plaza renovation plan draws protesters
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Plans to move a 60-foot monument that's been in the plaza outside the Alamo for 80 years have run into opposition.
Protesters gathered at the Texas shrine Saturday showing their displeasure with an Alamo master plan to redo the plaza and move the granite Cenotaph. The president of the Alamo Defenders Descendants Association, Lee Spencer White, who organized the rally, says the monument installed in 1936 to mark the centennial of the battle commemorates the defenders and shouldn't be moved.
The renovation project is the work of the city, the nonprofit Alamo Endowment and the Texas General Land Office, which manages the Alamo. Land Office spokesman Bryan Preston says the project is intended to as close as possible return the site to the way it was in 1836.

How A Romantic Relationship Introduces A Big Change For Shaft
By Mike Reyes published 3 June 19
John Shaft and his son John Shaft Jr. (evidently their familial relationship has changed) have both been known for two things: their reputations as ladies' men and tough crime fighters who know how to get answers. With the addition of the third generation in JJ, Shaft is going to add some interesting dynamics to the world of that character. And one of the most surprising is the relationship between Samuel L. Jackson's John Shaft Jr. and the mother of his child, Maya, played by Regina Hall.
For a man who followed in his father's footsteps as being very social with women, John Shaft Jr. apparently found his romantic Achilles' heel in Maya, as we'll see in director Tim Story's Shaft reboot. And during a set visit early last year, CinemaBlend was on hand with other journalists to learn just how that relationship will affect not only the story of the Shaft reboot, but also how it effects the legendary image of this character.
To start us off, here's what we learned from Regina Hall, in terms of why Maya is so attractive to Shaft, but also why their relationship broke up at the beginning of Shaft:
She's very good in bed. That's how she got [John] Shaft. You know, Shaft has a lot of 'em, but Maya came along, and he was like 'That, right there.' … His lifestyle is the problem, so when they have a child and she becomes a mother, and they get shot at by about 10 men, she decides that it's probably safer for her to raise the baby away from Shaft.
While the trailer for Shaft showed audiences a lot of the set-up for three generations of John Shafts running around and fighting crime, we do get to see a little bit of Maya putting John Jr. in his place when confronting him about their son's involvement in the film's central case. And instead of the typical argument you would expect to ensue, we see Samuel L. Jackson's second generation John take their encounters in stride.
It's this fact that Regina Hall continued to elaborate on, as she further discussed the relationship between John Jr. and Maya as follows:
It's good to see him in a position where he cares, so he's not in a power position. And that's the only time he's not in the power position is when he's with Maya. He's like a man in love.
One of the core tenets of Shaft's central character is that he is, in fact, a sex machine to all the chicks. But with JJ hot on the case of a murdered friend, and his father John Jr. helping him investigate, John Jr. and Maya get to bristle with energy
During that same day on the set visit for Shaft, we got to also talk to Samuel L. Jackson, as he walked into the room during our discussion with Regina Hall. And like any good partner, Jackson jumped in with further details about how John Jr. and Maya's relationship is different from a typically conflicting romance. He laid down the following clues as to what we'll see in their interactions during Shaft:
It's not even a love/hate thing, it's just a love/safety thing. She took him away from me, because my lifestyle is too dangerous. It had nothing to do with her falling out of love with me. But in the absence, people create and fill their space how they need to fill it. And she's done that in those 25 years. … The separation is one thing. It's like we literally don't see each other, so all of a sudden when we see each other you can see, when they look at each other, this thing happens that's almost irresistible. But it's like, I'm not letting you pull me back in.
As there's more of a careful mix between comedy and action in director Tim Story's Shaft reboot, one of the binding agents that seems to balance those two factors out is this family reunion of John Jr., Maya and JJ; as well as the addition of Richard Roundtree's original John. In a series primarily known for a single protagonist solving a crime, doing the legwork to find those responsible, and bringing them to justice, you need a strong hook to introduce such a dynamic this late in the game.
And the best description of just how the John Jr./Maya relationship balances those tones in Shaft is the one that both Samuel L. Jackson and Regina Hall gave as they discussed their on-screen romance:
Jackson: And generally, every time they're together, something fucking dangerous happens.Hall: Within six minutes, some shit pops off.Jackson: Or I say something wrong.
Let's just hope that Regina Hall's Maya gets to be one bad mother herself, once it all hits the fan. We certainly won't have to wait too long to find out, as Shaft is in theaters on June 14, and we'll have more coverage available on CinemaBlend as we get closer to that film's launch.

30-year-old Martin Castrogiovanni is one of the most recognizable faces in international rugby. Loved by fans and feared by opponents, Castrogiovanni quickly acquired cult status among fans for his immense power and impressive scrimmaging techniques. "Castro," as he is known to friends and foes, has already represented Italy in three Rugby World Cups and won the English Premiership Player of the Year Award during his first season with England's Leicester Tigers.
It is no surprise that Castrogiovanni's many achievements on the rugby field caught the attention of Meccaniche Veloci. This renowned Italian luxury watch maker has always found its inspiration in the world of speed, performance, and sport. Martin Castrogiovanni was selected to be Meccaniche Veloci's new brand ambassador for the passion and proven performance he brings to the game of rugby.
Castro and Meccaniche Veloci make a great team. The globe hopping rugby legend will be wearing the Meccaniche Veloci Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes Limited Edition with a black IP plated titanium case and four independent Swiss made ETA 2671 automatic movements. This is the perfect watch for Castrogiovanni, who was born in Argentina, began his professional rugby career in Italy, and now plays for England's Leicester Tigers. The Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes can monitor four different time zones simultaneously. The boldly masculine design is as tough and resilient as Castro himself, with a massive 48 mm case precisely turned from a solid titanium billet.
The watch is equipped with four titanium crowns, so each mechanical movement can be set independently. A scratch resistant sapphire crystal protects the beautifully machined dial and a premium quality strap is attached to the case by four titanium screws.
With his trademark long hair and beard, Martin Castrogiovanni is instantly recognizable. So is the Meccaniche Veloci timepiece on his wrist. In their own way, both of these sporting legends are one of a kind. Don't let that stop you from wearing your own Meccaniche Veloci timepiece, however. If you'd like to see what a legend looks like on your wrist, contact an authorized Meccaniche Veloci dealer today and ask to see the amazing new Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes Limited Edition.

CSIRO is spending $16m to get Aust's space industry to infinity and beyond
November 19, 2018 November 19, 2018 | Rachel Williamson
The ASX has just three space stocks, but that could all start to change as the country's science agency CSIRO throws an extra $16 million into space.
It'll be welcome news to space and defence company Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS), Sky and Space Global (ASX:SAS), makers of nanosatellites for telecommunications, and space surveillance company Kleos Space (ASX:KSS), which listed in August.
They hope to grow Australia's piece of the space economy pie, according to EOS chief Craig Smith
Things aren't quite as exciting here in Australia — compared to NASA's brand new "returning to the Moon – to stay" vision.
But there is definitely movement at the station in just the five months since the formation of the Australian Space Agency.
Just a week ago, South Australian startup Fleet Space Technologies sent Australia's first commercial CubeSats into orbit aboard a rocket launched from New Zealand.
Fleet CEO Flavia Tata Nardini made a point of crediting the ASA for helping it push through the paperwork to enable a build-and-launch project to be completed within two months.
And in September, the CSIRO launched its space roadmap which outlined ways it believed the ASA was capable of tapping into a US$345 billion global space market.
Note to NASA above – that included building an Australian space base on the moon.
Today, the CSIRO announced it's tipping another $16 million into the space race. It's opened up a new area on its Future Science Platforms program – Space Technology.
"Space Technology will receive $16M to identify and develop the science to leapfrog traditional technologies and find new areas for Australian industry to work in," the CSIRO said.
"It will initially focus on advanced technologies for Earth observation, and then address challenges such as space object tracking, resource utilisation in space, and developing manufacturing and life support systems for missions to the Moon and Mars."
The funding is to help the ASA reach its goal of tripling the size of the domestic space sector to $10-12 billion by 2030.
The CSIRO also added Artificial Intelligence to the program for the first time, earmarking $19 million "to target AI-driven solutions for areas including food security and quality, health and wellbeing, sustainable energy and resources, resilient and valuable environments, and Australian and regional security".
All up, there are now 10 areas of future science in the FSP program, which was launched in 2016 aiming to use "deep technology expertise" to help develop Australia's major industries.
By 2022, the CSIRO will have invested $205 million in the FSP.

We always begin the process with quality avocados. Starting with perfectly ripe avocados ensures we capture that creamy and buttery avocado flavor in every bottle.
Since our avocados are naturally ripened we rely on the perfect Southern California climate to get the job done.
After the fruit has reached the perfect ripeness, we hand sort each lot of avocados to ensure only quality grade fruit makes it through our process.
Since the oil is made only from the flesh of the avocado, our avocados are gently washed, depitted and deskinned. Our beautiful freshly skinned avocados are sent to the next stage for processing.
The flesh which looks like perfect guacamole, is pumped into a specialized machine that gently kneads and warms the paste under a controlled environment. Cold-pressing is a method where minimal to low heat is used to extract the avocado oil from the pulp. Since the industry is saturated with the use of the words "cold-pressed" we want to ensure you that our avocado pulp is never heated above 100 degrees.
This is an important detail, because when an oil is manufactured at higher temperatures, you will get more oil, but the process may destroy some of the delicate properties that make it a healthy choice.
After a very short time malaxing, the pulp is sent to a centrifuge for separation. After the solids have been separated from the oil the raw oil is sent to a final separation machine which removes additional particles. The oil from this machine is ready to eat without further processing required.
Our avocado oil is considered Extra Virgin because of the process described above and the quality standards we employ. To ensure we are measuring up to our own strict standards, we lab test each batch of oil to double check the numbers align with the quality we expect.

Phantom Carriage Brewery Pours Horror by the Pint
Friday, March 16, 2018 | Culture
By: David Nilsen
While fans of horror are used to getting together and meeting others of their kind at comic cons, horror conventions and a dwindling number of video stores nationally, a craft brewery in California, is providing a fresh venue for lovers of the macabre to celebrate scary movies.
Martin Svab, founder of Phantom Carriage Brewery in Carson, California, was born on Halloween, setting him on the path to a lifelong connection with horror and the macabre. When he decided to start brewing beer professionally, he knew he wanted his brewery's taproom and branding to celebrate his favourite genre, and provide a spot his fellow likeminded horror fiends could feel at home.
Phantom Carriage is named after the eponymous 1921 silent Swedish horror film that inspired Ingmar Bergman, director of dread-filled films like The Seventh Seal and Hour of the Wolf. In The Phantom Carriage, the last person to die on New Years Eve must drive a carriage collecting the souls of all those who die during the following year. Phantom Carriage Brewery, however, is very much alive and thriving.
"Our goal was not to get too kitsch or over the top," says Svab while discussing his taproom's decor and atmosphere. "We want it to be an homage to old horror films. Once inside our creepy kingdom, we've converted or at least helped newcomers appreciate the horror genre." Svab describes the taproom as looking like "a barrel cellar in Dracula's castle."
The horror theme extends to the brewery's beer line-up, which includes beers named for genre notables like Rathbone and Bergman. Phantom Carriage has even formed a relationship with Bela Lugosi's family to license the iconic actor's name for an annual October bottle release party. This isn't their only direct connection to horror royalty either. Svab has worked with Victoria Price, daughter of legendary actor Vincent Price, to stage a beer dinner using the late actor's own original recipes paired with Phantom Carriage beers.
Svab worked in film production for years before opening Phantom Carriage, and is passionate about movies both as a producer and a fan. Phantom Carriage has a small movie theatre in their taproom showing horror movies from open to close every day. On Wednesday evenings, the brewery hosts a special screening and gives away free popcorn. Most of the screenings are for out-of-print VHS horror from the 80s like Elves, The Brain, or The Mulitator, and Svab has worked with the esteemed horror house Scream Factory to show many of the label's archived films.
"As an eighties child, I tend to give more love to the cinematic gems that were released during that decade," says Svab. "The first movie I ever saw by myself in the theatre was Child's Play."
While he lists many established genre classics among his favourites—Re-Animator, Evil Dead 2—he has a special affection for the films he got to see for the first time on VHS, like Microwave Massacre and Color Me Blood Red.
Phantom Carriage is a must-visit for horror fans who enjoy a pint of good beer. The taproom has about half a dozen of their own beers on tap at any given time, as well as dozens from respected guest breweries. The kitchen serves a full menu (dishes carry names like Creature Dip and White Zombie), and the brewery can be rented for private events. The taproom is open till 10 pm through the week and midnight on Friday and Saturday, with limited Sunday hours.

Great read on a brewery that I have been following from the beginning. Sadly, since I haven't had the chance to fly out that way since their opening as yet. I did however had the opportunity to enjoy some of Phantom Carriage's brews last week in Tampa a part of Cigar City's annual beerfest, Hunahpu Day! Of course heightening my interest to a future visit!

Poetry was always woven into my creative practice but came into the foreground when movement wasn't available to me due to disability. To continue to move and do what I love, words offered another way to sculpt space in the choreography of a poem." Indeed, this work feels like a choreographed performance—a collection of movements that take the reader through an embodied dream-like landscape where time and tempo are muddied and fantastical. If we understand a disability poetic as one that takes seriously the poem as a body and the body as a three-dimensional space that is inconsistent, surprising, and unwieldy, then we can understand Heit's collection as a masterpiece of bodies moving against and through one another, making meaning with one another while also each dancing in their own rhythm.
The collection, composed of eight poems, begins with "Penumbra," where two figures make their way across an urban landscape:
we help each other
down the train steps
into the city we shape
in the slow gestures
of a person adjusting
to too much light.
The poem, written with only one single end stop but the occasional stanza break, feels like a long wavering breath. Heit writes of the banal every day—"she crosses the street / to get us coffee" alongside the more philosophical, "do bodies create a city?"—allowing the reader clarity and precision that then gets shadowed by what feels like the shadow of the poem itself: a lingering loss of consciousness—perhaps the survival of a stroke, if we take the poem's title to be a reference to the medical meaning of ischemic penumbra. Interspersed in the poem are series of words, at first more connected to the two figures moving through the city ("vibration gateway compass") but later, more ephemeral and disjointed ("nightgown echo doorknob sister" and "rose petals birdsong").This practice of listing reminds us of neurological testing in medical settings. And within the poem, as two figures move across a city, another emerges incarcerated behind a window and we are left wondering how many figures there are, where the speaker is, and who the speaker is. Heit writes often with a kind of inversion of meaning that lends itself provocatively to this movement and muddiness of figures in the poem:
lines collapse
ceilings give weight to floors
we push the sky
with our spines
wish between vertebrae
a city less broken.
The poem itself plays with ideas of weight and weightlessness, sense and the non-sense.
She sleeps in tourist office maps
latitude imprints face
the morning
she asks the color
we gave gravity.
With this poem the reader is immersed into a neuro-divergent landscape.
Heit takes us through many geographies as her choreography develops in the collection. Just as the first poem plays with themes of weight and weightlessness, sense and non-sense, so too does the collection. Some poems appear and read weightier on the page ("Z Cycle," "Lake Etymology") than others ("Enter Amnesiac"). Many poems incorporate what feels ephemeral or fantastical with historical and scientific narratives. Heit's poem "Lake Etymology" is perhaps the most powerful example.
"Lake Etymology" opens with an excerpt from a 1920's pamphlet, The Tragedy of Crystal Lake, written by a state senator describing the "ill-advised" project connecting Crystal Lake to Lake Michigan. Again, Heit begins her poem with an attention to place: "Before this outline shifted these trees were water. The bank covered in lake. Bluff / submerged." In this poem we follow a girl into the waves:
Simple measurements and
the girl would be under water where now are woods and green. Her house would
be fishes and rippled sand. At night she dreams gills. This is under. Under dream.
Under where breath is held.
From this first stanza, Heit moves us into an explanation of the origin of this lake project, "There / was no engineer consulted. Water poured the channel overflowing the river / banks. Crystal Lake lowered. Enter beach property. Resorts from logging towns." A listing of towns. Newly wed parents. And in the third stanza, Heit effortlessly merges the historical with the personal: "I was born a hundred years after the tragedy of Crystal Lake. Our cottage was built / on land once lake bottom." As the poem weaves the history of the lake with the history of the speaker's family, we again have two figures, this time in tension with one another. "They give me the name of the sister who died. Stephanie. I am gilled and finned." As the poem moves through tragedy, the speaker imagines this drowning, "Water. She slides off the prow. Life vest trapped tight. She slips through orange." In this remembering, the lines are long with many end-stops, a kind of jagged breath and jerky movement. The speaker does not discover this ghost sibling until she has already mastered the movement of swimming. The water becomes the sight of deep ambiguity as the speaker ends, "One hundred years before I was born and before you / died, a man had the idea to connect one body of water to another."

Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles. People with narcolepsy may experience sudden urges to sleep throughout the day. Narcolepsy sufferers may even fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes throughout the day.
In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy: cataplexy (the sudden loss of muscle tone), hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening, and brief episodes of paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep. In extreme cases, narcolepsy may cause sufferers to fall asleep in the middle of a sentence, while standing up, or while driving. In rare cases, the sufferer may remain asleep for an hour or longer. Narcolepsy is sometimes not diagnosed until 10 or 15 years after symptoms begin to appear.
There is no cure for narcolepsy. Drug therapy should be supplemented by behavioral strategies. Many people with narcolepsy take short, regularly scheduled naps when they tend to feel sleepiest. Improving the quality of nighttime sleep can also combat daytime sleepiness and help relieve feelings of fatigue. People with narcolepsy can enhance sleep quality by avoiding alcohol and caffeine-containing beverages before bedtime.

In historic decision, Ukrainian church severs ties with Russia
The split is being called the "worst crisis" for the Orthodox Church in centuries, but it's more about politics than religion.

The ancient liturgy and iconography of the Orthodox Church are an integral part of the history and identity of both Ukraine and Russia.

The largest bloc in the 260-million-strong congregation of Orthodox Christianity is no longer a single religious body governed from Moscow. The implications of this decision, announced by ecclesiastical authorities Thursday evening, are far-reaching, dislodging a cornerstone of the Orthodox Church that was established more than three centuries ago.
In a statement expected for several weeks, a synod convened by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I—designated "the first among equals" in the global hierarchy of Orthodox Christian prelates— acknowledged the right to independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which has been overseen by religious officials in Moscow since 1686.
The synod formally recognized the legitimacy of the separatist Kiev Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, established in the ruins of the Soviet Union 26 years ago and long treated as a pariah. The group also affirmed the priestly status and authority of the Kiev Patriarchate's militant founder and leader, 94-year-old Patriarch Filaret. In addition, the religious leaders revoked the 1686 act of union between the Russian and Ukrainian congregations.

Together, Russian and Ukrainian Christians number more than the combined total of all other Orthodox congregations worldwide. Ukrainians currently account for one-fourth of the Moscow Patriarchate's 136 million faithful and one-third of its 18,000 parishes. The split poses the "worst crisis" in the thousand-year annals of the Orthodox Church, according to informed observers.
The dispute also pits supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin against his chief regional critic, President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. Both are viewed as exploiting the church crisis in what amounts to a political vendetta, inflamed by Russia's forcible annexation of the Crimea in 2014 and its ongoing military intervention in restless Eastern Ukraine.
Poroshenko called the synod's decision "a victory of good over evil." The Moscow Patriarchate, he said, "was a direct threat to the national security of Ukraine."
In recent years, the Kiev Patriarchate's ranks have grown to include an estimated 29 percent of the Ukrainian faithful, while those under Moscow's wing comprise 13 percent. Another 26 percent describe themselves as "just Orthodox" or affiliated with smaller branches of the church.
In September, when it became clear that Ukrainian "autocephaly"—the canonical term for independence—was imminent, the Moscow Patriarchate retaliated by suspending liturgical prayers for Bartholomew, banning its priests from co-presiding with Constantinople bishops at religious services, and ending participation in assemblies, theological dialogues, and commissions chaired by Constantinople representatives.
The escalating dispute has prompted fears that violence may ensue. Russian websites have circulated unfounded reports of Ukrainian nationalists storming the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a famous monastery. Some clerics in areas loyal to the Moscow Patriarchate, including the monastery, are said to have urged parishioners to "defend their churches."
Yet despite its origin in tensions rooted deeply in Orthodox history, the stand-off has no liturgical or theological dimensions, almost all parties agree. In this the crisis closely resembles its counterparts elsewhere in the larger universe of mainstream religion: a precipitous decline in active membership, institutional fragmentation, and the subordination of spiritual concerns to politics.
The founding of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra traces back to the 11th century, when a monk took up residence in a cave. The cave is now part of the Church of St. Theodosius, where a liturgy service begins at 1:00 a.m.
Russia and Ukraine, the two nations at loggerheads over Orthodox religious authority, are also among the world's most secularized. While identification with national churches remains very high in almost all Orthodox-majority nations—measuring 71 percent of the total population in Russia and 77 percent in Ukraine—active religious practice is exceedingly low.
A 2016 public opinion survey conducted by the Pew Research Center revealed that only 15 percent of Russians and 20 percent of Ukrainians describe religion as "very important." Just six percent of Russians and 12 percent of Ukrainians attend religious services weekly, and only 18 and 28 percent pray daily. By contrast, 52 percent of Americans regard religion as very important, 31 percent attend church every week, and 57 percent pray every day.
In short, popular identification with Orthodox churches is mostly about symbols of nationhood and has very little to do with religious beliefs.
Worldwide, Orthodoxy has also been plagued by declining numbers relative to global population. In 1910, 20 percent of the world's Christians were Orthodox. Today, according to Pew, the figure is 12 percent. It's against this backdrop that differences between religious officials in Moscow on the one hand, and Ukraine and the Constantinople Patriarchate on the other, have veered into full-blown crisis.
"The Patriarch of Constantinople has no jurisdiction over Ukraine under canonical law," asserts Vladimir Legoyda, Director of Synodal Department for Church Relations with Society and the Media in Moscow. "Bartholomew cites the existence of historical documents proving that the accord in 1686 was meant to be temporary." But no such documents have been produced, Legoyda maintains, adding that terminating the relationship after more than three centuries is "absurd."
"It would be as if we said Alaska is still Russian because its sale to America occurred a long time ago under another regime." (The sale was negotiated in 1867 by then U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward.)
Russian ecclesiastical officials bristle at frequent accusations that the Moscow Patriarchate is a pawn of Putin, invariably supporting his domestic policies and representing his interests abroad.
"We are not the church of the Russian state or any other state," says Legoyda. "Our patriarch cares for the people of 16 countries. They are our canonical and pastoral responsibilities."


Possibly the most iconic and universally acclaimed album on the list, Led Zeppelin's fourth studio album spawned such hits as 'Black Dog', 'Rock and Roll', 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Going to California' which helped them sell over 37 million copies worldwide.
Still, it was one of the most difficult picks, mostly due to the fact that a few of the other songs were, by comparison, significantly weaker. Also, a strong case could be made for four or five other legendary Led Zeppelin albums to have been included here instead. But on the whole, IV is undoubtably one of the best of all time.
