Between 25 and 30 dollars per dose: the price that the Moderna pharmaceutical company proposes for the vaccine against Covid-19
Mauricio Luque
On Monday, leading U.S. epidemiologist Anthony Fauci announced the start of phase 3 of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine study, the most advanced biotechnology in the race for a vaccine.
Thus, 30,000 volunteers have been recruited at 89 locations in the United States to receive the first injection of their experimental vaccine to test its effectiveness in a large sample of the population.
The authorities remind us, day by day, that the pandemic will not cease to be a threat until an effective vaccine is found to combat it. But once it is commercialized, how much will it cost governments to get the necessary doses?
According to the Financial Times, Moderna's vaccine will be marketed at a much higher price than agreed last week by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech.
Specifically, they intend to sell it at a price of between $50 and $60 per cycle ($25-30 per dose), with priority given to the US and other high-income countries, which excludes countries with fewer resources.
While this figure is not necessarily definitive, it is not close to the $19.50 per dose agreed by the other pharmaceutical companies – Pfizer and BioNTech – which are also leading the race for the vaccine. It is also a far cry from AstraZeneca's agreement with the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy, which set the price at $3 or $4 per dose.
Despite the fact that Moderna has managed to double the government funding of the drug to 955 million dollars, as announced on Sunday, the president of the US pharmaceutical company, Stephen Hoge, initially asked the buyers – including the EU – to set a price that would have at least double digits, according to the British newspaper.
"We will not sell it at cost," Hoge admitted at a congressional hearing, claiming they intended to make a profit on the sales.
The final price, however, cannot be set until the vaccine(s) that prove to be effective are approved, and will depend on various factors such as demand, medical need, and efficacy.

Q: How can I used this reduce method using a starting point? I have been trying for a while now to get past this. It's a ruby course and it asks you to build a method:
describe 'my own reduce-like methods' do
  describe "reduce_to_total returns a running total when not given a starting point" do
    it "reduces correctly" do
      source_array = [1,2,3]
      expect(reduce_to_total(source_array)).to eq(6)
    end
  end

  describe "reduce_to_total returns a running total when given a starting point" do
    it "reduces correctly" do
      source_array = [1,2,3]
      starting_point = 100
      expect(reduce_to_total(source_array, starting_point)).to eq(106)
    end
  end

Here is my code so far, passes the first test:
def reduce_to_total(source_array, starting_point = 100)
    source_array.reduce(0) { |sum, num| sum + num}
end

But still get the following error:
Failures:

  1) my own reduce-like methods reduce_to_total returns a running total when given a starting point reduces correctly
     Failure/Error: expect(reduce_to_total(source_array, starting_point)).to eq(106)

       expected: 106
            got: 6

       (compared using ==)
     # ./spec/map_and_reduce_spec.rb:42:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>

Appreciate any help/explanations! Thanks

A: You need to pass starting_point as reduce argument
def reduce_to_total(source_array, starting_point = 0)
    source_array.reduce(starting_point) { |sum, num| sum + num}
end

See below:
[2] pry(main)> [1,2,3].reduce(0) { |sum, num| sum + num}
=> 6
[3] pry(main)> [1,2,3].reduce(100) { |sum, num| sum + num}
=> 106

The London Problem Revisited
I've been thinking about the matter of London and the kind of 'two-speed Britain' stories which have been in the press recently. The idea is that London's continued growth and prosperity - in contrast to the rest of the UK - is a problem. The BBC covered this via Stephanie Flanders in March and the Guardian did a piece on it in May this year. The Economist even did a special supplement on London last year, entitled 'On a High' in which they covered a range of issues, not just economic growth - e.g. a map and some of my work on deprivation on p. 7 of the pdf. These kinds of stories always generate a lot of debate (see the comments on the Guardian piece for an example) of the 'London vs. the rest' variety but I suppose the thing that sticks in my mind is that none of this is really new. The precise nature of London's recent resurgence is perhaps unique but it's hardly a new problem. I was reminded of this last week at the Centre for Urban Policy Studies 30th Anniversary conference in Manchester when Sir Brian Briscoe quoted from the Barlow Report of 1940 (photo below - yes, I actually have a real copy to hand!).
This in turn reminded me of the 1985 edition of the Planner magazine that I've had on my desk for some time. Why do I have this? Because it's a special issue to commemorate the life of former Chief Planner and University of Sheffield Professor JR James, who featured on the front cover of the April 1985 edition, five years after his untimely death in September 1980. In this edition, leading planners of the time gave a series of lectures on seminal reports - Peter Hall on The Barlow Report, Gerald Wibberley on The Scott Report and HR Parker on The Uthwatt Report.
Peter Hall's reading of Barlow is fascinating for many reasons but I found it interesting that he chose to pick out the exact same quote that Sir Brian Briscoe did last week: "the continued drift of population to London and the Home Counties constitutes a social, economic and strategical problem which demands immediate attention" (p. 202 - see below for copy of the original, in paragraph 5).
These words were written in very different times (e.g. it was published shortly after the outbreak of WW2 and in fact some of the content had to be changed to reflect this) but the over-arching message of a dominant London and a lagging rest of Britain resonates today. The policy solutions proposed in 1940, however, are rather different to those suggested today. For example, there was a strong emphasis on regionalism in the Barlow Report - unlike today. Further, there was a real concern about what could be done to address this nationally problematic uneven development (well, at least in theory) - e.g. Part IV from p. 185 is entitled 'Remedies ... And to Report what Remedial Measures, if any, should be taken in the National Interest'. So, this is not just an historical curiosity. On p. 197 we have more on 'methods of decentralisation or dispersal', which many today would like to see.
As for the man himself, Sir Anderson Montague-Barlow (image at bottom of page), I'm not sure what he'd make of the current rhetoric of a 'two-speed' UK but I'm sure he'd recognise that it's nothing new. The question that remains in my mind is whether this London boom will continue indefinitely and what the consequences of that might be. Some final thoughts for now...
1. Lost in much of this two-speed UK talk is the fact that inequality and poverty in London are quite extreme. That's what I was getting at in my very small contribution to the Economist supplement last year and in another Guardian piece. This is something that Ben Hennig has been looking at in more detail in recent times - see here for more.
2. Much less has been said about why this London/rest issue might be a problem and - more importantly - what might be done about it. Certainly, I don't think we'll see a Barlow-style Royal Commission about this any time soon.
3. What about the contribution of the rest of the UK to London's growth - e.g. in sending graduates, commuters, funding for infrastructure, and public transport - to name just four factors. The question here might be to what extent is London's growth down to the fact that it has a Barlow-esque gravity? Easy to answer but harder to quantify.
4. Are we witnessing a 'London supernova'? Will this bright shining star gradually fade? Fancy rhetoric, but worth thinking about, given the cyclical nature of boom and bust. See p. 52-54 of this RTPI report for more.
5. And, finally, we ought to look at old books and magazines more!

Elderly can benefit from 'villages' idea
WORLD class support will be available to Mid Cheshire's elderly population thanks to a Government-backed private finance initiative.
Sites in Middlewich and Winsford have been earmarked to be transformed into ultra modern 'extra care villages', as part of a £100m scheme to build 2,000 more care homes in the next five years.
The villages will feature a range of properties to either buy or rent, with amenities and health care available in a central three-storey building.
To help create a balanced community, a third of places at each scheme will be allocated as an alternative to traditional care homes for people with long-term needs, a third for those with health and social care needs and a third to more able older people.
A similar scheme in Warrington gives residents access to arts and crafts rooms, a library, lounge areas and a hall.
Both Middlewich and Winsford are included in the first phase of development. Plans in Middlewich are slightly further down the line - a request for outline planning permission was submitted last week to develop land near Middlewich Primary School's old buildings.
In Winsford, Hambleton Way has been earmarked, although no plans have yet been submitted.
Richard Ellison, head of planning at Vale Royal Borough Council, said: 'We have had preliminary discussions with Cheshire County Council. It's all about promoting independent living.' Architects Hulme Upright Manning say the developments aim to let older people keep their independence, but residents will also have access to support from a network of health professionals.
Cheshire's social services department cares for 8,000 older people but this number is expected to rocket. Coupled with rising life expectancy it means the need for the developments - which council chiefs say will be among the best in the country - is high. They say the number of over 65s is to rise by 37,000 in the next 15 years, accompanied by a 25% increase in the over 85s by 2011.
Sheelagh Connolly, Older People's Services Manager at Cheshire County Council, said: 'This very considerable programme of extra care housing will provide both an alternative to long term residential care and help us to manage the rapidly escalating costs of looking after our growing population of older people.
'The increase in the number of elderly people will mean an extra £3million-a-year additional costs, even if they just rise in line with general inflation. Last year costs rose at three times that rate.'
County Councillor Lyn Hardwick, social services executive member, added: 'The scheme will provide world class standards, fine, affordable accommodation backed by multi-discipline care teams living nearby, providing 24-hour cover.
'It is a huge project, involving several partners, and whilst the total cost will be enormous so will the advantages, both to the elderly and the community at large.
'We will be providing a kind of more acceptable to older people and helping to address problems caused by the closure of private homes across the county.'
She said the scheme hopes to make up for a shortfall in beds for long term care since a spate of care home closures over the last few years - 800 places have disappeared in care homes in Cheshire since January 1999 alone.
The scheme will involve part-nerships with non-profit making housing trusts, district councils and health care trusts backed by private finance.
The cost to residents will be low/ Three options of payment will beavailable - tenants can choose to rent, buy at a reasonable price or acquire on a co-ownership basis, with the residents part-buying and part-renting.

Q: Trouble returning big and smallest number with a string output JavaScript I've been trying to solve a problem on a beginners testing site and I'm stuck on how to proceed. Can you please help with a complete block of code and any extra insight on where I'm going wrong so I can learn from it? Thank you.
If there is only one number in the array, that will be both the biggest and the smallest.
If there are no numbers in the array, it should return an empty object. The answer must be like {biggest: 10750, smallest: 36} in terms of formatting.
What I got before my brain stopped working;
function findBigSmall(numbers) {
const highest = Math.max(...numbers);
const lowest = Math.min(...numbers);
`"biggest:" ${highest}, "smallest:" ${lowest}`
}

A: *

*If there is only one number within the array both Math.min() and
Math.max() will return that number

*If there aren't any numbers in the array, we can check if the array's
length is 0, then return the empty object {}

function findBigSmall(numbers) {
  // Checking array's length and returning {} if empty
  if (numbers.length == 0) return {};
  // This will be executed if the previous 'if' didn't evaluate to true
  return {
    biggest: Math.max(...numbers),
    smallest: Math.min(...numbers)
  };
}

console.log(findBigSmall([1,2,3,4,5]));
console.log(findBigSmall([]));
console.log(findBigSmall([1]));

Also, you're not assigning any variable to this: "biggest:" ${highest}, "smallest:" ${lowest} and if you assign a variable to this expression, the result will be a string not an object.


You might have heard about the university's plans to streamline and centralise some of their services, and about the potential impact that this will have on student experience. The university's overview of the program can be found here. This document is intended to briefly outline the proposed changes and the likely impact that they will have on Castle.
What is the university proposing?
An Operations Manager (Donna Pudwell) in charge of overseeing anything that happens in college from a health and safety point of view, including student and commercial events, maintenance etc.
An Accomodations Co-ordinator (Wendy Chambers) in charge of the booking of all spaces in college, overseeing risk assessments, liaising with the servery and the Services Manager for formals and facilitating all other events.
An Operations and Services Co-ordinator (Neville Carman) managing the porters, facilitating events and overseeing any larger maintenance work.
A Head of Housekeeping (Ann Coult) managing the cleaners and housekeeping staff in college.
We also have a receptionist (Janet Edwards) responsible for checking in students and guests during commercial time, and for assisting the Accomodations Co-ordinator with their duties. She also does an excellent job at chasing rogue members of the public out of the Castle walls.
The Bursar (Michelle Crawford) is responsible for running the finances of both Castle and Hatfield, and providing support to the JCR and MCR Treasurers. The bursar also has a secretary in each of the colleges.
If the university's proposal comes through, we would only be left with two operations staff, of which one on a lower pay grade than any of the four mentioned above. The number of bursars would also decrease from one for every two colleges to two bursars for all 12 colleges affected by the restructuring (Chad's, John's, Stevenson and John Snow are not affected). The university's aim is to streamline operations staff and centralise it, appointing a central Director of Operations for all colleges.
This proposal is in consultation stage until the 10th of April and a final vote on its implementation will be held on the 29th of April. However, a Director of Operations has already been appointed.
This, however, is only stage one of a long-term restructuring process. Further stages might include the streamlining of other services currently offered by colleges, such as catering, housekeeping (with the potential reduction of the number of cleaners), and general student support staff, including positions providing welfare support.
The most immediate impact that phase one of the proposed changes would have on Castle's student life would be on large-scale social events. Organising large scale events like June Ball, but also the other two balls, Castle Day, CCFS, CCA Auction and any new events planned by the Social Chair – as college is expanding – would become increasingly difficult with these changes. It may become impossible to run many of these events altogether – particularly June Ball – due to the reduced support and face-time with operations staff. While all of these events are entirely student-run, as students we cannot sign off certain legal documents or guarantee for overall health and safety. We need the support of professional operations staff.
However, the impact of the restructuring plan is not limited to large-scale events alone. Medium scale events such as hounds, welfare campaigns, outreach events and Panto would also be threatened with tangible impacts on student welfare, development and on the Castle community. Other events at risk are the evening events for Freshers Week, which could produce a negative effect on the integration of new freshers into college, with potentially detrimental consequences to the entire college community. All of these currently rely on the hard work of the current college office staff and the strong relationships that the JCR has with them.
Moreover, under a two-bursar system and with more financial centralisation, the support that the JCR receives to run its finances is likely to further decrease. For at least two years, the JCR has faced insufficient support from the university finance office on matters such as invoicing, authorising large payments, receiving guidance on tax and accounting, and other matters. College finance staff are the first point of call for any urgent financial issue, and receiving even less support may result in the JCR needing to cut down many of its financial activities, including funding for events, clubs and societies, welfare, development etc.
While it might seem easy to dismiss some of the above events as parties with no essential impact on our education and student experience, we believe that taken as a whole they constitute an essential component of what makes a collegiate university unique. Hundreds of students learn skills that they could learn in a classroom, by being directly involved in the organisation of these events. Social events in college constitute the soul of Castle's social life, and this is true for all events from Hounds to June Ball. Moreover, putting at risk our welfare campaigns and outreach events would have serious, negative consequences on overall college welfare and on the impact we have on the local community.
Finally, it is worth noticing that unlike some other colleges, Castle operates as a commercial B&B and event venue outside of term time, which requires additional staffing.
In the long term, the proposed changes – including further phases of the restructuring plan – may pose a fundamental threat to student life in colleges and to the Castle spirit in general.
For example, we worry that changes in operations staff and catering will result in students losing all control over the management of college bars. This will not only mean that a lot of skills learned from working in a professional environment, with responsibilities that a student could only hold in a student bar, will be lost. It will also result in fewer students coming back to college, using college facilities and taking part to college life. As the Vice-Chancellor and current PVC for Colleges and Student Experience have themselves recognised, the declining number of students coming back into college is a major threat to the collegiate system at Durham.
Even more importantly, the future phases of the plan might result in the end of the student-led welfare system. Since the members of college welfare teams are not professionals, they cannot operate without the close supervision of college staff trained in providing welfare support services. As there are talks of streamlining these kinds of services in the future, and potentially even moving to a department-based psychological support system, we worry that this could result in a significant worsening of mental health issues in Castle and the university as a whole.
Student-led welfare systems capture mental health issues at earlier stages, before they progress to seriously alarming stages. Even if more funds were put into mental health services centrally, only student-led welfare teams in the colleges can capture early cases and address them as effectively as they do right now. The case of Bristol University, where mental health services were also recently centralised from local halls to university level, is an example of the risks that we are facing: numerous news articles have highlighted the tangible, negative impact that this has had on student wellbeing.
Reducing the number of housekeeping staff who have face-time with students would also have consequences on student welfare, as these members of staff often report potential welfare issues they have noticed so that they can be dealt with at the appropriate level.
On top of that, the concerns about financial independence and support raised above might mean that in the long run the JCR might not be able to sustain most of its activities at all, because we will not be able to support them financially.
The consultation period for phase one of the proposal will last until the 10th of April. We encourage anyone who is worried about the proposal – current Castle students, but also alumni, perspective students and their families – to email any complaints, concerns and questions they may have about how student experience will be affected to wsestudent@durham.ac.uk, fill out the feedback form at www.dur.ac.uk/businessimprovement/local/haveyoursay and sign the petition at http://chng.it/qQQT9gNmTR. We have drafted a template email that can be used as a base or to take inspiration from (you can find it at the end of this document).
Immediate action needs to be taken to mitigate the effects on student experience, such as ensuring that enough face-time with operations staff will be available to run events in colleges. This should include large scale events, not because we strive for ever 'bigger and better' balls, but because these events allow students to develop crucial skills, bring the college community together and incidentally benefit Durham's public image.
The long-term risks outlined in this document should be avoided at all costs, especially those related to student-led welfare. The collegiate system is Durham's main selling point and made our education and student experience unique; these changes threaten it.
Castle is in some ways a unique case and its uniqueness needs to be preserved. The building we are so lucky to call our home requires particular care when organising events of all scales and scopes. We are also the college with the most significant commercial activities outside of term time. Our JCR works extremely well to provide a unique student experience to all Castle students, and its activities need to be supported appropriately.
We sincerely hope that our concerns will be appropriately taken into account in the following weeks.
I would like to register my serious concerns regarding the university's Operations Restructuring Plan that is currently under consultation. As a member of University College, I believe that this will have a detrimental impact on College Welfare, student-run events and the overall student experience in a collegiate university.
Though it is easy to dismiss events such as our famous June Ball as parties, their planning and execution comes with a raft of benefits for student experience. This event alone involves 60 students meticulously organising and preparing a large-budget event. It is an experience that cannot be taught in a classroom. [Add a personal experience here.] It is clear that with reduced numbers of operations staff to support them, these would not be possible. Not only this, they are a key part of the Durham student experience and what helps to differentiate us from other universities. [Explain how the range of events that Durham and Castle offers made you choose Durham].
However, the impact of the operations restructure is not limited to large scale events alone. Castle runs an array of outreach events which bring the local community into the Castle walls. These would also be threatened. Equally, events such as the CCA Auction and Castle Charity Fashion Show – both of which raised thousands of pounds for local charities – would be jeopardised. [Add any events that you have been involved with] These all rely on the hard work of all of the existing college office staff.
I am also concerned about college welfare in the longer term. Though college welfare may not be directly affected by the proposals, future phases seem as though they are treading a dangerous path that risks threatening the service upon which hundreds of people's mental health relies, such as decreasing the number of student support officers in the colleges. [Insert ways in which welfare is beneficial to you, or how you think it benefits the college as a whole] Moves to centralise welfare do not account for the small-scale issues that college welfare is able to address before they develop into more serious ones.
Moreover, under the proposed two-bursar system and further financial centralisation, the support that the JCR receives to run its finances is likely to further decrease. For at least two years, our JCR raised concerns that they receive insufficient support and guidance from the university finance office. [insert if any experience you have had with college finances eg. Sports and societies and how you rely on the JCR for that] College finance staff are the first point of call for any urgent financial issue. Receiving even less support may result in JCRs needing to cut down many of their financial activities, including funding for events, sports clubs and societies, welfare and development.
In the longer term, I feel that this threatens the very fabric of what makes a collegiate university so [identify how you think a collegiate university is special]. The centralisation of services sets the university on a dangerous course that could undermine what is best about it. It would mean that I have less reason to come back into college because [insert reason here].
I sincerely hope that you take these concerns on board.

Clive Churchill Medal Betting Tips & Guides
The Clive Churchill Medal is a great way to punt on the NRL. These bets can also be very profitable. Learn NRL Clive Churchill Medal tips and strategies used by pro punters.
Best Bookies For NRL Betting
Clive Churchill Medal Guide
Punting on the Clive Churchill Medal really gives you an added bonus to that NRL Grand Final Weekend. The feeling of winning a punt at such high stakes almost replicates the joy the actual player would feel in receiving the medal.
Each year on NRL Grand Final Day, the Clive Churchill Medal is handed to the best player on ground in the NRL Grand Final.
Last year, in 2020, Melbourne Storm's Cameron Smith and Penrith Panthers' Nathan Cleary were early favourites for the award – at $4.50. Winner Ryan Papenhuyzen actually ranked fourth in terms of odds, at a whopping $10.
So, how do you predict the best player in the NRL Grand Final, before you've even seen them perform? How do you find value in these odds and make some serious bankroll?
This page is here to tell you all the tips and tricks to the Clive Churchill Medal – and how to punt for profit in terms of the Best Player on Field in the NRL Grand Final.
2020 Clive Churchill Medal Favourites
In a stunning display, both Nathan Cleary nor Cameron Smith, the two Clive Churchill Medal Favourites were awarded the accolade in 2020.
Despite Cleary scoring a try in the last 10 seconds of the match, and Cameron Smith also contributing to the scoreboard in more ways than one – neither were able to take home the title.
Smith was playing what was perhaps his last game in the greatest Rugby League Career the NRL has ever seen – with a fifth NRL Grand Final Win – the Clive Churchill Medal would've been the last milestone in his age-old career.
The Melbourne Storm won the Grand Final – and it was said prior to the game, that one of his teammates would have to play the match of their life to take The Clive Churchill Medal off of Smith, and Papenhuyzen did.
2020 Roughies in Clive Churchill Medal Betting
Obviously, Papenhuyzen himself was a roughie, coming in at $10 before the match begun.
Jarome Luai was also a whopping $51 in the Clive Churchill Medal Market betting before finals had kicked off – with odds fluctuating down to $21 to win the award.
So, how do you find this value in such a huge pool of contenders?
Check out our tips below.
This is one of the most obvious ways to pick a Clive Churchill Medal Winner. How has the player been going in relation to the finals, and the rest of the year altogether?
Papenhuyzen had an absolutely monstrous year, despite only debuting in 2019. In his career alone he's averaged 20 tries in 42 appearances… and in 2020 strove to new heights, averaging 126 metres across 22 games, which in turn produced 15 line breaks, 99 tackles, eleven tries, and seven try assists.
Papenhuyzen was in hot form coming into the Grand Final – and this is the first thing you have to look for in terms of the Clive Churchill Medal Winner.
Like aforementioned, statistics are one of the most vital ways to really get down to the nitty gritty when it comes to the Clive Churchill Medal Winner.
Looking at the numbers is the only way to correctly crunch the data, and get a numerical value for your NRL Grand Final Player of the Match.
If you look at the statistical differences between Papenhuyzen, and Storm Favourite, Cameron Smith – you can see the clear disparity between the two. Although Smith has had an insane career – missing two matches in the year due to a knee injury was really the beginning of the end for the 3-year-old.
While Papenhuyzen is young, up and coming, and both the fastest player in the league – with a high scoring record. Smith is on his way down and is getting older, and slower.
If you look at the numbers between the two, Papenhuyzen has more tries, running meters, tackles, and line breaks than Smith in 2020 – which made him a clear frontrunner for the Clive Churchill Medal at some pretty huge odds.
Big Game Player
But, while numbers are one thing, there can always be surprises and outliers. And this comes in the form of the big game player. It's one thing to be numerically good throughout a Home and Away season, but can you stand up when the going gets tough?
This tip is actually vital when it comes to the Clive Churchill Medal Winner – you must look at their performances throughout close match-up's throughout the year, or against hard defensive teams.
If you want to get the best odds on the Clive Churchill Medal, you have to get in early, but if you want to get the safest, check out their performance throughout finals, to double-check they're able to stand up in those difficult moments.
Predicting the Match Winner before the game will actually half your prize pool, when it comes to determining the Clive Churchill Medal Champion. Rarely, and I mean very, very rarely, does the award go to a player that doesn't win the match.
This has only happened four times in the history of the game, which spans over a damn long time. From 1967 – 2020 only Les Johns, Bradley Clyde, Brad McKay and Daly Cherry-Evans managed to pip the award on a losing team!
This makes the Clive Churchill Medal Winner way easier to predict, if you can pre-determine the match winner, because, chances are, it won't be going to someone from the losing team.
Try Scoring Ability, Running Metres and Tackles
NRL is a pretty statistically rich sport, when you think about it. And the most difficult thing is that you have to be both an offensive and defensive player – otherwise it's just not going to work out as a career. This much can definitely be said for the Clive Churchill Medal Winner.
They must be able to score tries – and contribute tangibly to the scoreboard, run the metres down to actually push forward, and also lay those tough tackles when the other side has the ball in their hands.
It's already been proven that Papenhuyzen could do these three things, statistically, while also fulfilling the other requirements needed to win the Clive Churchill Medal – therefore actually making him the obvious choice all along.
Punt with Sportsbet
Okay, hear me out on this one. Sportsbet are Australia's best bookie for a reason. And that fact became even more apparent on NRL Grand Final Day, when they paid out Cameron Smith to win the Clive Churchill Medal early, despite him not actually winning.
Smith was having such a good game in the first half, that Sportsbet, and ever Aussie NRL Fan out there, assumed he was a sure thing to win the medal… so everyone got paid out! Papenhuyzen also got paid out to happy punters at the end of the match, at the best odds!

Q: Case study: Why the huge difference in number of views and upvotes in this case? We have two very similar questions: One with A lot of views and other with Very few
I can't understand why this difference of upvotes and views. The second question is more generic, and I find more attractive. So the question is: Why the first one have more views?
I'm not looking for a generic answer - I'm interested in specifics.

A: When someone searches with keywords/tags, then in Is it possible to create inline pseudo styles? only CSS tag is used.
While in other one HTML and inline-style are also there. So while searching this will be seen on either of the three tags, resulting in a click and one more view count.
And one human behavior is to go with public, they see 80+ votes and shares this question as link to other answers, so this shown up and we go on to see this as well.

I am an amateur researcher from Konavle county in Croatia. Almost two years ago I located crash site of then unknown US bomber that fell on mountain in my area. I decided to to some research and after almost one year I was able to find 10 cases in total in Konavle county. I am not the only author, lot of people gave me help in this, they all contributed in any form.
After almost two years of frenzy research on 20. of November 2018. we opened exhibition in old town of Dubrovnik about cases I was able to find out by now. For this exhibition we loaned parts from owners from villages in Konavle and put descriptions, pictures and documents regarding the case. This is first ever exhibition of this kind in Dubrovnik but I think in Croatia as well.
Great work. Thanks for your time and energy in doing all of this. If you know the dates and/or tail numbers of the aircraft it would be help in obtaining more history on how they ended up there.
On the 2nd link he posted there is an associated series of 52 photos. The 15th photo has a map indicating the crash sites and a list of the 10 crashes. Allied crashes are a Spitfire (EN 582) and five B-24s. Four of the B-24s listed include the serial numbers. The fifth, which crashed in the sea, appears to be unidentified but may have gone down 3 or 4 July, 1944 (if I am reading it correctly). The four Axis planes all appear to be identified.
Some of the photos show he has MACRs for some (maybe all?) the identified AAF crashes.

We found 10 cases and on 8 we found dates, witnesses, documents, locations and parts in villages. Also in some cases we were able to find family members.
Two cases are still unclear because of lacking documents, witnesses or location. We have some information but not all we would like to have.
Our intention is to preserve these cases and one day hopefully to open some sort of museum. Whole process of researching was unbelievable experience.
I am curious about the "unidentified" B-24 that went into the sea. Looking at the photo you have, it appears to be about at 42 34N, and 18 09E or 18 10E. What are the actual co-ordinates you have? Have you actually dived on the wreckage or is this just an estimated crash location? How sure are you of the 3 or 4 July 1944 date? Is that from an eyewitness to the crash?
Last edited by RSwank; 25th November 2018 at 01:43.
One possibility for the B-24 noted at 42-34N, 18-09E, is B-24G 41-29289. MACR 6377 says it was last seen at 1445, July 3, 1944, at 42-50N, 18-10E. Target was Bucharest, Rumania, cause was mechanical failure. Crew of 10, one KIA, 9 evaded. 461st BG, 764th BS. Pilot 2nd Lt Mac L Lucas.
The problem with 41-29289 is that according to the eyewitness statement in the MACR, the plane was seen to strike the ground and burst into flame.
Underwater B 24 unconfirmed is actually only mystery.
On report from Independent state of Croatia, "on 4th of July it is written, 1 B-24 on that date was shot by antiaircraft fire, 12 crew ejected and were taken prisoners, B-24 went down in bay of Mlini."
No aircraft were ever found in bay (depth 30- 40meters) but, old people in Cavtat are saying that during ww2 aircraft crashed behind island of Bobara, island that is border island in that same bay. I found by now 4 people who are saying the same story, however they don't remember the parachutes.
Also, locals on at least 3 occasions during fishing behind the island pulled up some unidentified metal part. They threw them back, that was before I started my research (pity).
Depth in that area is 100 plus meters, so diving is only doable by professionals.
However I don't have the right location as well.
On 4th of July there was no B-24 lost in this area, but one 3rd of July 1944 B-24 was lost in area of Dubrovnik. MACR 6378. Two crew members evaded capture and 8 were captured near villages of Trebinje in Bosnia (now day). Border and those villages are very close to Dubrovnik area.
So my assumption is that crew bail out over Trebinje and aircraft kept flying and loosing altitude until it crashed behind island. Maybe I am totally wrong.
MACR 6378 is for B-24 42-99754 "Nancy Lee" from the 451st BG 725th BS. Lost on July 3 , 1944. The pilot was James F Evarts, Jr. The MACR lists a crew of ten. Two men from the crew "evaded", S/Sgt Henry A Ulmer and Sgt Robert Fersht. The rest of the crew were sent to German POW camps.
Evarts' statement is that flak knocked out two engines over the target (Bucharest) and he flew the plane back 300 miles when the third engine quit over/near Dubrovnik. At that point the crew bailed out. The MACR contains a translated German document, ME 1757? or (1737? or 1787?) which says the plane crashed at Dubrovnik.
Information on Fersht is a little confusing. Here is his obit which says he was a POW.

Unfortunately as I already wrote depth is 100 plus meters, exact location is unknown and all that makes this case unconfirmed. All I have is report from NDH (Croatia) and stories from locals.
I will try to do proper research with echo sound device next summer, and maybe organize something about diving but that will be very difficult task.
In the mean time I will talk to fisherman who are fishing in that area and maybe they have some more information.
I know about this case for almost a year and haven't moved a single bit. Life is like that sometimes.

There were a total of 1,379 fatal traffic crashes in North Carolina during 2015, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports. This number does not include the thousands of other car accidents that occurred throughout the state that were not fatal, but did result in injuries and property damage.
Gather evidence such as contact and insurance information of the at-fault party, as well as contact information of any witnesses to the accident.
Follow up with medical appointments.
Contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible.
Reporting the crash to the police by filing an accident report is extremely important after a car accident. It is best to contact law enforcement immediately after the crash so that a detailed investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident and accident scene can be obtained and documented by law enforcement.
While you should report the accident, you should avoid making a written or recorded statement about the cause of the accident until you have gotten help from an experienced attorney. This is especially true if the insurance company for the at-fault driver is seeking to obtain a written or recorded statement from you. North Carolina is a contributory negligence state. Therefore, any statement you give that shows your actions may have contributed to the cause of the accident will give the adverse insurance company an opportunity to deny your claim.
Because North Carolina is an at-fault car insurance state, the negligent driver is the party who is liable for the victim's damages in a crash. It is rare for the at-fault driver to pay for the damages out of pocket. Instead, their insurance will typically foot the bill for them. Under North Carolina law, all vehicles registered in the state are required to carry liability insurance. The minimum coverage required under the law is $30,000.00, although many drivers opt to purchase higher coverage to protect their liability.
However, an insurance provider is rarely eager to pay the full value of a victim's claim. In fact, they may try to shift blame for the accident onto the victim's shoulders in order to deny the claim, reduce the payout amount, or simply offer the victim a settlement that is far below what they really deserve.
When this happens, the claimant needs to be diligent about proving fault and seeking the compensation he or she deserves. Proving fault and the extent of losses will require gathering evidence in a thorough investigation, as well as negotiating with an insurance adjuster for a settlement that addresses all losses.
While the process of getting paid after a car accident should be simple, the system is such that insurance companies try to profit while car accident victims suffer. If you have been in a car crash, one of our car accident attorneys can help you fight back, advocating for your right to a fair payout. An attorney is also skilled in conducting an investigation and negotiating, and will also have numerous connections to various experts who can be called upon to support your claim.
At the law offices of Warren & Kallianos, PLLC, our car accident attorneys know the ins and outs of the North Carolina claims process and what to do after a car wreck. If you have been injured in a car crash, we are ready to work with you and guide you through every step of the process. Contact us today for a free consultation to get started.

Ми́ра (ο Cet, Омикрон Кита) — двойная звезда в созвездии Кита, состоящая из красного гиганта Мира А и белого карлика Мира B. Расстояние до Миры — 417 св. лет ± 14 %. Компоненты находятся на расстоянии 70 а. е., орбитальный период около 400 лет.

Характеристики
Мира А — пульсирующая переменная звезда, давшая название классу звёзд — мириды. Она имеет период 332 дня. В максимуме блеска она довольно заметна — видимая звёздная величина в среднем 3,5, в некоторых циклах достигает 2,0. В минимуме её светимость падает в сотни раз, и она становится невидимой невооружённым глазом (m=8,6…10,1). В инфракрасном диапазоне колебания блеска Миры гораздо меньше, и составляют около 2 звёздных величин.

Мира B окружена горячим аккреционным диском вещества, истекающего с гиганта. Она также является переменной из-за неравномерности поступления вещества — видимая величина изменяется от 9,5m до 12m.

В 2007 году астрономы обнаружили у звезды исполинский хвост из пыли и газа. Открытие было совершено с помощью ультрафиолетового орбитального телескопа GALEX, выведенного NASA на орбиту в 2003 г. Астрономы были изрядно удивлены: дело в том, что Мира исследуется вот уже на протяжении 400 лет, и до сих пор никто не замечал в ней никаких особенных странностей. Впрочем, объясняется это довольно просто: никто не наблюдал её в ультрафиолете. Обнаруженный хвост простирается в пространстве на целых 13 световых лет (для сравнения, дистанция до ближайшей к Солнцу звезды — Проксимы Центавра — составляет всего 4 световых года). Согласно расчетам, материя, находящаяся в конце хвоста, была сброшена звездой примерно 30 тыс. лет назад. Звезда теряет массу, эквивалентную массе Земли, каждые 10 лет. Это значит, что материи, сброшенной ею за последние 30 тыс. лет, достаточно для образования 3 тыс. планет размером с Землю или 9 планет размером с Юпитер.

Большинство звёзд Млечного Пути медленно вращается вокруг центра галактики, двигаясь приблизительно с той же скоростью и в том же направлении, что и межзвездный газ, однако Мира выбивается из общего ряда. Эта звезда продирается сквозь галактическое облако газа со скоростью в 130 км/c. В результате выбрасываемая ею материя попросту сдувается назад, образуя уникальную хвостовую формацию. На фотографиях телескопа GALEX отчётливо видно исполинское вздутие, расположенное перед звездой — это область головного скачка уплотнения (см. Ударная волна). Нечто подобное образуется перед носом лодки, рассекающей воду на большой скорости, или перед пулей, несущейся со сверхзвуковой скоростью. Здесь материя, выбрасываемая звездой, переживает лобовое столкновение с частицами межзвёздного газа. В результате она разогревается и устремляется в направлении хвоста. Основную часть этой материи составляют атомы водорода. Они постепенно теряют приобретённую энергию, высвобождая её в виде ультрафиолетовых лучей — их-то и зафиксировал телескоп GALEX.

История наблюдений
Доказательства того, что изменчивость Миры была известна в древнем Китае, Вавилоне или Греции, в лучшем случае только косвенные. Что является бесспорным, так это то, что переменность Миры была зарегистрирована астрономом Давидом Фабрициусом начиная с 3 августа 1596 года. Наблюдая за тем, что он считал планетой Меркурий (позже идентифицированной как Юпитер), он нуждался в эталонной звезде для сравнения положений и выбрал ранее не замеченную звезду третьей величины поблизости. К 21 августа, однако, оно увеличилась в яркости на одну величину, а к октябрю исчезла из поля зрения. Фабрициус предположил, что это была новая звезда, но затем снова увидел её 16 февраля 1609 года. В 1603 г. Байер внес эту звезду в свой атлас звездного неба и обозначил ο Ceti.

В 1638 году  определил период повторного появления звезды — одиннадцать месяцев; ему часто приписывают открытие изменчивости Миры. Ян Гевелий систематически наблюдал звезду с 1659 по 1682 и дал ей имя  («удивительная»), потому что она действовала как ни одна другая известная звезда. Затем Исмаил Буйо оценил её период в 333 дня, что отличается на один день от современного значения в 332 дня. Измерение Буйо, возможно, не было ошибочным: известно, что Мира немного меняется в течение периода и даже может медленно меняться с течением времени. По некоторым оценкам, эта звезда-красный гигант возрастом в шесть миллиардов лет.

Существует много предположений относительно того, наблюдалась ли Мира до Фабрициуса. Конечно, история Алголя (известная наверняка как переменная только в 1667 году, но с легендами, восходящими к античности, показывающими, что она наблюдалась с подозрением на протяжении тысячелетий) предполагает, что Мира тоже могла быть известна. Карл Манитий, современный переводчик комментария Гиппарха к «Аратусу», предположил, что некоторые строки из этого текста второго века могут быть о Мире. Другие предтелескопические западные каталоги Птолемея, ас-Суфи , Улугбека и Тихо Браге не включали никаких упоминаний, даже в качестве обычной звезды. Есть три наблюдения из китайских и корейских архивов, в 1596, 1070 и том же году, когда Гиппарх сделал бы свое наблюдение (134 г. до н. э.), которые наводят на размышления

Not Just in Hospitals, Mumbai Doctor Has Been Battling TB on the Streets for 5 Yrs!
Whether it is on a bus stand, amidst unmovable traffic, at religious gatherings, in local trains, slums, schools, colleges or hideouts for couples across the city, the man says that he is his own speaker and mic, spreading awareness about TB prevention and coughing etiquettes to all around him.
It may be a fading memory, but that voice doesn't seem to leave his head, 54-year-old Lalit Anande says.
"I was walking down the hospital when I heard a girl shouting, 'Aai, mala jagaicha aahe (I want to live mother, I want to live).' She sat on the bed, wailing at the top of her voice, repeating the same words, time and again. Her neighbouring beds complained, 'She didn't let us sleep a wink last night'. The mother sat helplessly. I picked the x-ray next to her bed and wondered why she was so paranoid, only to be corrected that it was four months old. The latest one was under the bed. I pulled it out hesitantly only to know her lungs were collapsing. The TB mycobacteria had eaten into it, like a termite attacking wood. The damage was done. So I sat next to her, caressed her hair and whispered assuring words and left," he recalls.
Three days later, he visited the ward again. The cot he first heard wails from lay empty.
"She had died. A girl lived with TB and died. And we couldn't do anything," he says, overcome with emotion.
Whether it was this patient or the 10-year-old who died coughing, tucked into the lap of her father on his birthday, these memories have haunted Anande for the longest time.
India has the highest number of TB deaths in the world. According to a report by the World Health Organisation, in 2016 alone, over 4,23,000 people died fighting a lost battle with the condition. A number that constituted almost one-third of the world's 1.4 million death toll that year.
"And yet it is alarming how our country still seems to underestimate the power of the life-threatening mycobacteria, robbing people of their lives each day," says Dr Lalit Anande, the medical superintendent at Mumbai's government-run Sewri TB Hospital.
Born and raised in Mumbai's harbour line suburb Wadala, Lalit Anande tends to more than 150 patients a day in the government-run Sewri TB hospital. He has taken the fight against TB outside too. Whether it is on a bus stand, amidst unmovable traffic, at religious gatherings, in local trains, slums, schools, colleges or hideouts for couples across the city, the man says that he is his own speaker and mic, spreading awareness about TB prevention and coughing etiquettes to all around him.
He completed MBBS from the renowned Nair Hospital in 1989 and joined the services at the TB Hospital in the early 90s. At the time, the hospital had two senior doctors, and none of the residents was a surgeon. But there was a crippling need for a surgeon for thoracic surgeries who would be around 24×7.
"Most medical personnel back in the day did not want to get into the surgical department of TB solely because it meant round-the-clock shifts, backbreaking surgeries and was considered dirty work due to pus etc." The opportunity to see live lungs opened his perspective and strengthened his quest to fight this deadly condition that rendered a lively organ useless.
But the biggest impediment in the fight against TB was the dawn of drug resistance to TB. In 2012, a paper was published, explaining TDR-TB (Total Drug Resistance Tuberculosis) which said that the mycobacterium had become resistant to most drugs available to treat the condition. Today, there are a number of variations of this, including Extensively Drug-Resistant TB (XDR TB), Extremely Drug-Resistant TB (XXDR TB), Multi-Drug-Resistant TB (MDR-TB) etc.
He describes how school and college kids are increasingly contracting TB and a leading number of patients in his hospital are in the average age group has 25-35.
Women too are contracting it more post-pregnancy because the mycobacterium has been latent in them for years. While publications challenge that the latent TB population of Mumbai is 40%, Dr Anande says it is easily a cent percent.
"Mumbai is the capital of TB in India. Many of these people don't even know they have latent TB, till it starts becoming active. TB mycobacterium can be latent in a person for as long as eight years," he adds. Further, cough that lasts beyond 14 days can be a cause for concern.
Also, the TB bacilli, says Dr Anande, is a smart creature that enters into your body. If your immunity is strong, it will remain in a dormant state for years. If the immunity is low, then it starts multiplying, affecting your lungs. So building your immunity is of vital importance in the battle against TB.
And so for the last five years, the man has been conducting these awareness sessions everywhere he goes.
He stresses how building immunity rests upon three important factors–reducing mental stress by doing something you are passionate about; getting good sleep to bring down your cortisol levels; and helping your body into the recovery mode and eating healthy.
Most of his patients are migrants who come from underprivileged backgrounds. They live in slums in makeshift homes with no bathrooms and only a bulb for electricity. They cannot afford expensive immunity building powders or shakes. And so, he gives them pocket-friendly hacks.
"Every gully has an alcoholic bar with a person selling boiled eggs outside. Eggs help increase protein. Moringa oleifera, commonly known as green drumsticks, are available in plenty across the city. Make a sabzi out of it. The leaves of these can be dried, then crushed into a powder and consumed. Peanuts, groundnuts etc. are everyday snacks that students can carry in their pockets instead of the junk they eat outside. Exposing their body to natural sunlight increases their D3 counts. Vitamin C is magical in building immunity. If not citrus fruits, one can have multiple glasses of nimbu sharbat. These don't cost much, but can go a long way in helping you stay strong," adds Anande.

FDA submitted a notice in the Federal Register asking for stakeholder comment on whether to do away with the option for companies to file an exemption from 100 percent identity testing because no company to date has ever filed for such an exemption.
NPA supports that this petition process to request an exemption from 100 percent identity testing of identity ingredients remain available. While the agency has not received any new petitions to request an exemption from 100 percent identity testing of dietary ingredients, we expect the petition process to be used in the future. Therefore, NPA supports that these information collection provisions should be extended to provide for the future need of a firm in the dietary supplement industry to petition for an exemption from 100 percent identity testing of dietary ingredients.
NPA has long recognized that misidentification of dietary ingredients used in dietary supplements can present significant public health as well as economic concerns. In that spirit, we support the following from the original Interim Final Rule (IFR): "proposed alternative testing that will demonstrate that there is no material diminution of assurance, compared to the assurance provided by 100 percent identity testing, of the identity of the dietary ingredient before use when the dietary ingredient is obtained from one or more suppliers identified in the petition." While we are supportive of the agency's position offered in the IFR and we too recognize that it may be possible for a manufacturer to demonstrate, through various methods and processes in use over time for its particular operation, that a system of less than 100 percent identity testing would result in the comparable assurance provided by 100 percent identity testing, per the intention of the rule, we believe that this exemption would have to be very specific to the dietary ingredient supplier/vendor, dietary supplement manufacturer and to the incoming raw dietary ingredient, to uphold the integrity and intent of the final GMP rule. We do not believe submitting a petition to request an exemption from 100 percent identity testing of a dietary ingredient is something that should be taken lightly, nor should such exemption be granted without exhaustive demonstration of both the supplier's/vendor's and manufacturer's quality systems, specifically that knowledge of a given firm's operating procedures could be used to provide such assurances comparable to 100 percent identity testing.
NPA requested that FDA keep this exemption open and available to firms who may have the historical data to demonstrate an alternative sampling plan that would not result in material diminution of assurance provided by 100 percent identity testing.

Grodowiec (niem. Hochkirch, 1949-92 Wysoka Cer(e)kiew) – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie dolnośląskim, w powiecie polkowickim, w gminie Grębocice.

Podział administracyjny
W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa legnickiego.

Położenie
Miejscowość jest położona 17 km na południowy wschód od Głogowa i 20 km na północ od Lubina, w północnej części województwa dolnośląskiego.

Środowisko naturalne
Wieś znajduje się w obrębie mikroregionu Wzgórza Polkowickie, wchodzącego w skład mezoregionu Wzgórza Dalkowskie.

Historia
Z wykopalisk archeologicznych przeprowadzonych na górze zwanej Winnicą, wiadomo że tutejsze tereny zamieszkiwane były przez ludność słowiańską. Jest to jedna z najstarszych wsi na ziemi głogowskiej, założona jednak w XIII wieku przez osadników niemieckich i zwana w dokumentach Alta ecclesia, czyli Wysoki Kościół. Pierwsza wzmianka o kościele w Grodowcu pochodzi z 1291 roku. Kolejny dokument sporządzony we Wrocławiu w 1345 roku wspomina o przekazaniu patronatu przez Jana Luksemburczyka biskupowi Przecławowi. W latach 1480 i 1488 w Grodowcu odbyły się zjazdy książąt piastowskich. Podczas wojen głogowskich w roku 1488 i później w czasie reformacji, kiedy inne parafie ulegały przemocy i przechodziły na protestantyzm, Grodowiec pozostał zawsze wierny wyznaniu katolickiemu. W czasie wojny trzydziestoletniej wieś została zniszczona. Ponownego zniszczenia dokonały wojska szwedzkie w czasie powrotu po zwycięstwie Austrii w 1650 roku. Także wycofujące się wojska francuskie w 1812 roku dokonały spustoszenia. W 1813 roku utworzono tutaj punkt poboru do armii pruskiej. Miejscowość do 1945 roku nie posiadała nazwy słowiańskiej, po wojnie nosiła nazwę Grodowiec, którą w 1949 roku zmieniono na Wysoka Cerkiew, a następnie na Wysoka Cerekiew, co było właściwie – abstrahując od słowa cerkiew – historycznie słuszniejsze niż Grodowiec. Do pierwszej polskiej nazwy Grodowiec powrócono 1 stycznia 1992 roku na życzenie ludności.

Zabytki
Do wojewódzkiego rejestru zabytków wpisany jest:
 zespół kościoła odpustowego:
 kościół parafialny pw. św. Jana Chrzciciela, budynek z roku 1591-1602, przebudowany w latach 1702-1704; wieża kościoła z połowy XIX wieku
 kaplica Góry Oliwnej, w stylu barokowym z 1755 r.
 schody prowadzące do kościoła z figurami z lat 1724-1736
 plebania zbudowana w drugiej połowy XVIII/XIX w.

inne zabytki:
 mur i cmentarz kościelny założony w XIII wieku i przebudowany w XVII wieku

Sanktuarium Maryjne w Grodowcu
Pielgrzymki do słynącego z cudów obrazu Matki Boskiej z Dzieciątkiem przybywały już w czasach średniowiecznych. W 1591 roku od uderzenia pioruna spłonął drewniany kościół, z którego ocalał tylko cudowny obraz. Wzmogło to pielgrzymki do sanktuarium. W 1602 roku przeniesiono obraz do nowo wybudowanego kościoła, z którego zginął w czasie Wojny Trzydziestoletniej w latach 1618-1648. Kościół w tym czasie służył jako stajnia dla koni. Cudowny obraz zastąpiła cudowna figurka, którą możemy oglądać obecnie nad tabernakulum w ołtarzu głównym. Rzeźba jest z około 1590 r. i ma cechy gotyckie. Jest wysokości 1 m i przedstawia Marie Służebnice Pańską w świątyni w postawie modlitewnej. Odbudowany po wojnie 30-letniej kościół został ponownie zniszczony w 1660 roku przez wichury i gradobicia w następnych latach. Kolejnej odbudowy dokonał w 1679 roku baron Abraham von Dyhern z Brzegu Dolnego, on też ufundował obecne organy jak i 15 kapliczek różańcowych przy drodze do Głogowa. Ponieważ kościół zaczął się robić za mały dla licznie przybywających pielgrzymek, w latach 1702-1724 dokonano rozbudowy kościoła w stylu barokowym. Konsekracji dokonał biskup Daniel Sommerfeld 1 lipca 1724. W pobliżu świątyni na górze zwanej Oliwną w XIX wieku miejscowy proboszcz Meinhold wybudował Kalwarie z kapliczkami drogi krzyżowej. Legenda głosi, że w czasie budowy 2 lipca 1872 natrafiono na źródełko, które istnieje do dziś dnia i podobno ma właściwości lecznicze. Następnej dużej przebudowy dokonano w 1915 roku ponownie inicjatywy miejscowego proboszcza. Obydwie wojny światowe mocno zniszczyły świątynię. Po II wojnie światowej zaczęto znowu pielgrzymować do cudownej figurki która, uszkodzona w czasie działań wojennych, została odrestaurowana przez rzeźbiarza Jana Serafina. Większej renowacji i wzmocnienia dokonano w 1990 roku. Z powodu szkód górniczych prace te wykonał KGHM Polska Miedź. Obecnie Grodowiec należy do diecezji zielonogórsko-gorzowskiej i jest najbardziej wysuniętą na południe parafią tej diecezji. Pielgrzymi przebywają licznie 15 sierpnia i w II niedzielę września.

Droga świętego Jakuba
Przez wieś przebiega Dolnośląska Droga św. Jakuba odcinek szlaku pielgrzymkowego do grobu św. Jakuba w Santiago de Compostela w Hiszpanii.

Self Identity and Migration
About SiaM
About Wajid
The SiaM Tour
About the SiaM Project
Retracing history and one's own life journey is always cathartic and in this project 'Self-Identity and Migration', Wajid Hussain has taken a look at his own past through artistic residencies in cities, such as Newcastle, Bradford, Blackburn and South Shields, places key to his upbringing and that have shaped his life.
"For me as a British Artist "SiaM" has been about a sense of self-enquiry and identity exploration. The places I have completed my residencies, people I have met along the way, of all generations and explored the subject matter through workshops and language, has all informed the final exhibitions and performances delivered. All challenging and provoking my thoughts on identity, it has not only increased my understanding but also my ongoing enquiry into it"
"We all have a story and heritage that echoes inside us, it just needs a sound and space to explore it.
For me SiaM is the start of that sound and space being created"
Artist & Poet
Wajid Hussain 2014
Through the media of creative writing, photography and water-colour workshops with local community groups, Wajid Hussain, a visual artist and performance poet, set out to explore ways to retrace his steps to what shaped and influenced him as a young man. During his university years he experienced first hand the upheaval and identity-based challenges faced by the young people around him in Bradford and Lancashire.Having been immersed into the heart of the Asian community, he met people with high aspirations spanning a spectrum of options, some infringing the law itself.
Growing up and experiencing life in those cities had a profound impact on Wajid to assert his own identity in terms of ethnicity, belonging, however, the wider notion of self-identity as a British young man remained unanswered. In the light of this, this project not only raised many questions for Wajid, but also answered many that have remained unanswered.
For the duration of SiaM, Wajid collaborated with artists, creative practitioners and key venues to deepen his internal exploration, which in turn informed and honed his creative practice. This resulted in the development of two full exhibitions (SiaM & SiaM Upclose) as well as a bi-lingual performance poetry art piece. The exhibitions have toured five locations, across three regions. It has involved people as young as 4 as well as those well into their 70's and has been open and engaging to all.
