The God Within
The Unseen Enemy
Seeking Truth And Reality; Do They Exist?
The most elusive words in the English language are "truth" and "reality." While they both sound like worthwhile goals, it is difficult, if not impossible for us to acquire either.
An example of what we are saying can be found at the scene of a crime or an automobile accident. There may be as many as ten witnesses, but all will have a slightly different version to tell as to what they observed. This is why courts use juries to listen to all of the stories. After a trial the jury goes into a private room where its members attempt to sort facts from fiction and reach a general conclusion as to what really happened.
Even so-called laws of physics can be and often are challenged as science acquires new information about the universe in which we live.
Consider our long understood rule of speed. Albert Einstein said, and we believed him, that nothing can travel faster than 186,000 miles per second, or the speed of light. Einstein also theorized that there is a relationship between light speed and time. He believed that the closer an individual might come to reaching the speed of light the slower time might pass. The Einstein theory on the limit at which we might travel has appeared to make the possibility of traveling to distant galaxies and solar systems beyond our reach because of the extreme distances involved. But new work by contemporary physicists has revealed that Einstein may have been both wrong and right. The speed of light can be broken and yes, speed does have an effect on time.
Dr. Lijun Wang, of the NEC research institute in Princeton, transmitted a pulse of light toward a chamber filled with specially treated caesium gas. Before the pulse fully entered the chamber, Wang found that it passed through and traveled another 60 feet across the laboratory. In effect, the pulse of light existed in two places at the same time, a phenomenon that Wang said could be explained in the speed it traveled. . . an estimated 300 times faster than the speed of light.
What Dr. Wang and his staff proved was that (a.) nothing is absolute and (b.) time travel may be possible. If we could build a machine that projects us around the world at a speed reaching 300 times the speed of light, we would conceivably arrive at the point we start before we begin.
Without trusting in absolutes, there can be no truth. We can sit in a chair held in place on a floor and trust that both the floor and the chair will hold us up. We do this daily, even though science tells us that the floor, chair and our bodies are comprised of a mass of swirling atoms separated mostly by space, much like the planets and stars are positioned in our universe. What we should find surprising is that our bodies don't fall through both the chair and the floor.
We trust in the chair and the floor to remain in place because, after years of using chairs supported by wooden floors, we are comforted by the memory that they have always remained constant. Yet the scientific evidence exists to suggest that they are not real. Once we leave the room and close the door, what assurance do we have that the chair and the floor are still there? Are they not a product of our collective universe, which is created by the minds of all who believe in them? And if we created them, is it necessary that these objects remain in place after we are no longer present to observe or think of them?
This line of thinking leads directly to the question of reality.
We spend our lives learning rules established by the society in which we live. We are educated by parents, Sunday school teachers, public school teachers, civic and social leaders, sometimes our college professors and always our friends and the media. Most, if not all of what we are taught is a distorted and clouded version of truth. It is a narrow view of our universe as it is perceived by a controlled society trained to believe our world is what our teachers, neighbors and the textbooks say it is.
Contemporary author the late Robert Anton Wilson portrays us as a people conditioned from childhood to see the world with one eye peering down a long hollow tube. All we understand is what we perceive in the tiny hole at the other end of the tube. We spend our lives drawing conclusions from this extremely limited bit of information. We never learn how to open our third eye and see the entire picture. Because of religious teachings and belief systems, most people are satisfied with using only a small part of the left brain and they never learn how to turn on and use the right brain. Only a few, like Stephen Hawking, Jesus, the Buddha, and people like Wilson have dared to defy the rules and open the second and perhaps even the third eye.
Just so you understand clearly what I am talking about, the left brain deals with basic motor nerves and daily routine functioning. We can literally live very useful and functional lives with only a part of the left side of the brain working. In fact, brain specialists have found that removal of the entire right hemisphere of the brain to assist severe cases of epilepsy have had no ill effect on the patient's ability to live what is perceived as a "normal" life. This has led some medical people to think that we don't need the right side of our brain.
There is a question that should enter the minds of anyone capable of any level of reasoning. Why were we given such massive heads and such large brains if we don't need them? The answer is that we were never supposed to remain in this simplified mental state. The human race is a special, genetically produced species of life placed on this planet thousands of years ago. Whoever or whatever put us here gave us the tools and obviously planned for us to evolve into something much finer than we are.
The serpent portrayed in the ancient book of Genesis was right when it promised Adam and Eve that eating fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil would open their eyes and make them like God. The error in this story, like so many of the slants in that book, is that they would become like God because they would know good from evil. In other words, the Bible falsely states that Adam and Eve fell into sin the moment they lost their innocence and perceived themselves as sinners.
As the Christian story is told, we are all supposed to be descendants of Adam and Eve and consequently all genetically condemned to be imperfect creatures, condemned by an inherited sinful state. But what is the true definition of sin? We suggest that anyone who attempts to answer this question will refer to the Bible or some other holy book to find a definition. Sin is what our culture teaches us it is. No more. No less. Like all things in this strange world that emerges from our collective minds, sin is but a myth.
In a predominantly Christian society you can be assured that the definition of sin will come right out of the Bible. The Ten Commandments is usually where we start. But what about the hundreds of other commandments allegedly defined by God when he had his talks with Moses on the mountain? They are in the Old Testament too. The old Books of Law, plus the later teaching of Jesus, make even "bad thought," from enjoying the sight of a shapely woman in a bathing suit, to coveting our neighbor's new car, an evil act suitable for sending us all plunging into a burning abyss called Hell for all eternity. Our natural sex drive plus a social conditioning that leaves us wanting shiny new things, makes it impossible for us to avoid sinful acts as defined in that book.
To escape this terrible fate we are told that we must submit to an invisible entity that calls itself Jesus and do its bidding. This creates a life of fear and slavery for anyone who follows this belief system and puts us in the control of an entity outside of our own awareness. Fall into sin without finding a way of redemption and we are doomed even before we start. What a quagmire we have created for ourselves!
The Christians have worked at proselytizing with such zeal they have sent missionaries around the world, even sneaking into China and Russia against the expressed wishes of the Communist controlled state, which wisely forbid the people to practice religion.
Instead of evolving into the state of Godliness we were supposed to reach, we have created a number of crippling belief systems that doom us to a form of mental slavery. When bound by the chains of "faith" in these false powers, we cannot grow spiritually. We all possess the power of God and don't know it. Collectively, the people of the world have the ability to fix all of the ills, heal our bodies, stop wars and put ourselves in a state of bliss. Instead of this, we fight among ourselves, killing, stealing and lying for personal gain. We ravage our planet. We have lost our ability to love. If the human race doesn't wake up soon, we are going to find ourselves going into self destruct on a dying planet, with no way out.
The religious complacency that exists all over the world, in both primitive and complex belief systems, is deadly. We all know we have made some very bad mistakes. We overpopulated and polluted our world to the point that it now is dying. The storms, the deadly heat waves, the solar blasts through the holes we punched in our protective ozone layer, the melting ice caps and the dying trees and animals are all proof of this. But people don't seem worried. Because of religious beliefs, they are all expecting a "savior" to arrive at the last moment and set things right.
The savior has always been here. Instead of being among us the god is in us. If we are to be saved, we must all do the work.

History – Ye Olde ZAG: 80s LDZA Airport Charts
March 3, 2015 April 27, 2021 Posted in Yugoslav And Croatian Aviation HistoryTagged Jeppesen Zagreb, LDZA, LYZA, Pleso, ZAG, Zagreb Airport, Zagreb Airport 19822 Comments
Even though the world of modern social media may leave a lot to be desired, it nevertheless does occasionally have its bright and interesting moments :). While the definition of the latter could produce enough material for a whole book (not to mention the odd philosophical brawl), for me they mostly concern the occasional serious aeronautical discussions, all of which rarely fail to intrigue even the most basic aviation enthusiast. Having brought together in one place everyone from aspiring young aviators to experienced airline captains, these threads are always a gold mine of fantastic information and material – and had even served as an inspiration for my most detailed article to date, the extensive review of Croatia Airlines' light aircraft, published a month or so ago 🙂 .
Rather unsurprisingly given the results, it would only be a matter of time before some new post or photo on Facebook would pique my interest once again. In the event, I did not have to wait long; already at the beginning of March, a member had put up a series of fantastic (and fantastically rare) photos taken from the Zagreb Airport (LDZA/ZAG) tower back in the 80s, covering everything from JAT's DC-10s to the odd PanAm 737-200. Naturally enough, I was through the roof, and had immediately started digging through my own aviation collection for any other interesting bits from the period. However, having been born only in 1985, I could not produce any of my own material – so I had instead decided to dig up my dad's old Jeppesen manuals, dust-covered reminders of his days as a dispatcher with Pan Adria in the early 80s 🙂 .
With five full binders now at my disposal – covering most of Europe, North Africa and the western edges of the USSR – I was at a quandary of where to begin… the East German corridors towards Berlin, Munich's old Riem Airport, Athens' half-buried Hellenikon, or the 80s versions of Schipol, Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle… however, in the end I'd decided to stick close to home and take a 30 year trip back in time to the second airport I call home… 🙂
Chronologically out of order, the most interesting chart of them all is the Airport Chart, showing what ZAG had looked like at the end of 1982. While at first glance it doesn't appear to have changed much in the intervening 33 years, there are a few notable differences: there's no GA apron (which would be added in the early 2000s as an extension of the main apron to the south), the parking positions for large aircraft are at the apron's southern end (nowadays they're at the northern, which had also been widened to be flush with the remainder) and the main parallel taxiway is designated M (changed to F sometime in the 90s).
A glimpse into times where reliable area navigation was still years in the future and waypoints were few and far in between, the STAR Chart makes for fascinating viewing. Far, far more complex in modern times (featuring several times as many arrival routes), the chart also shows another anachronism: the KOS NDB in the lower right corner, dismantled and shut down at the beginning of the 90s during the civil war.
The first of the SID charts illustrates a fascinating mix of old fashion NDB navigation and "newfangled" waypoints. VALLU (in the top procedure) still exists, while PAPA (in the lower procedure) would later become MACEL. The latter was actually located a few miles inside Slovenia (even though it was a border point), which would in the early 2000s lead to its replacement by point PODET located right on the border.
Another departure (and another chart that is far more cluttered in 2015). Among the many other notable differences, the point INNA from the upper procedure no longer exists, while the locator PI from the lower procedure is now a "full-blown" NDB called PIS and operating on 424 kHz.
The waypoints of the third SID page are, however, mostly correct today: KOPRY and NASSY are still used, with only BEREK having been withdrawn.
The final SID page is pretty much completely invalidated today due to the aforementioned removal of KOS NDB. As a consequence, airways B9 and UB9 (on the rightmost departure track) have been abolished, with their replacements – L187 and UL187 – using a nearby point called TEBLI.
The approaches themselves had, however, undergone the most change. What was just a "lowly" CAT I ILS in 1982 is nowadays a CAT IIIb system with DME (installed in the early 2000s), operating on the same frequency but with a final approach course of 044 degrees to cater for 33 years of magnetic variation change. With the aforementioned exception of PI, all of the radionav frequencies had stayed the same – though we'd recently gained another DME (LUK, 109.85), collocated with the outer marker. The communications frequencies have undergone a change as well, with Approach now using 120.700 as the primary and 118.500 as backup.
On the opposite approach, things have stayed more or less the same, with the major exception being an ILS frequency change to 109.10 (plus the final approach course change due to magnetic variation).
The ninth and final chart in the set (quite a bit less than the modern 15!). Even though PI has been upgraded, the locator approach still exists – with two having also been added for the RWY 23 end.

Are you working hard every day to get better? Reaching goals?
Recently I've had a conversation with an older guy who owns a pawn shop. He started to complain about business not doing well, how he lacks ideas and the drive, how he's demoralized and overwhelmed by the technology advancement. "We can't adapt so quickly to the new stuff like you youngsters. We're slowly being discarded," he told me while trying to persuade me to buy a used Mac, which he couldn't use and understand well.
How are you doing in the tech compartment?
The technology today really progresses quickly. And many might feel left behind, or frightened to compete in this fast-paced world. Take the modern work atmosphere for example. New and improved technologies are a must nowadays ‒ if you can't cope with the latest tech or apps, you're outdated. Being outdated might put you in a bad position or bring you trouble. That's why I'm sharing some tips that will help you use both Mac & Windows machine better and easier.
If you're not as good in the tech section and you're trying to fit in the new work environment, this is the post for you. It doesn't matter if you're a bit older. It doesn't have to be that tough. You can do it. Start using these 10 tips and you'll get better on PC & Mac in no time!
1. Quickly hide or close a lot of running apps.
There are many reasons to open a lot of folders at the same time. It could be either to transfer files from one to another or to rearrange your folders simply through the partitions. If not managed well, your screen can get stacked with a bunch of folders which might just confuse you instead of making you more productive. To navigate more easily through folders that you need, it is advisable that you close or hide the ones that are redundant at the moment.
For Mac OS: press and hold the command button ⌘ and keep pressing the Tab key. By doing this, you will list the apps and for the those you wish to close, you just have to press Q key, while for those that you want to hide, press the H key.
2. Type quickly with your voice with a "hidden" Dictation app.
If you need something written down and you're not skilled with typing, the Dictation app could prove to be very useful. You can find the Dictation app in System Preferences within the Apple menu. To start writing with your voice, press the (fn) button (located in the upper left corner of a standard Mac keyboard), start talking and after you have finished, press the (fn) button again and your speech will be converted to text.
The best feature of this app is that you can use it while offline, which makes it convenient while traveling. That is if you don't mind the strange looks you'll be getting while talking to yourself. This program offers its users the option to edit occasional mistakes that are known to happen when dictating to a computer. It remembers the changes and guarantees an improved experience each time you use it. While this feature is still new to the Windows OS, it works surprisingly well on Mac.
If the dictation app is disabled on your PC (this happens often), it is easy to enable it by going to Settings > Dictation and Speech. If the box next to the "Enhanced Dictation" is unchecked, make sure to check the box, close the settings and you are ready to go!
No more being embarrassed for not being able to type like a machine.
3. Switching fast on a dual-monitor.
Dual-monitor setup is common in offices nowadays; it brings more screen real estate into your workspace and enables you to have/do more. Programmers and designers enjoy these benefits the most.
For example, if you have opened Adobe Photoshop on the left screen and Adobe Illustrator on the right, you will probably reach a point when you want to transfer something from one program to another, i.e. from one monitor to the other.
All you have to do is to press the Windows button together with the (Shift) and left arrow (ß) and this will instantly switch you to the left monitor. The procedure is fairly similar when going to the right, except this time you'll be using the right arrow key (à) and that's it. Also, if your monitors are connected correctly, you can hold your file with the left mouse click and drag it to the other monitor. Simple as that.
This problem has an even easier solution on a Mac. Pressing ⌘ and F1 at the same does the trick with newer generations of Mac computers. For older versions, your best bet would be to click manually on the dormant monitor before sliding back and forth.
4. Install Windows on your Mac PC.
Some programs don't work as good on Windows as on Mac. Some programs are Windows-only. If you don't want to waste your time by emulating an entirely different OS, the solution is dual boot – install Windows on your Mac. This is perfectly legal, don't worry. Installing Windows on a Mac PC could be a difficult task for some people; if you're willing to go for it, check out the detailed guide that will take you through the process effortlessly.
Before you start with the installation, you will need to have an Intel-based Mac,Microsoft Windows version 8 or higher OS media or (ISO) disk image and at least 55 GB of free disk space on your Mac. Do not forget to check the system requirements for the Windows OS that you are trying to install on your Mac as the requirements will have a massive impact on both the installation process and the functionality of Windows OS.
5. Hide and display the Start menu whenever you need it.
You might have seen this on a colleague's computer, and got confused. No Start menu at all? What's wrong?
This is just an auto-hide option that Windows offers to its users. To enable it, you just right-click on the taskbar and go to Properties. Check the "Auto-Hide Taskbar" option and hit "Apply" button. By doing this, your taskbar will "disappear" but should you need it, press the Windows key, and it will appear together with the search option. Same goes with the mouse hover.
This option is very popular among the programming community since using this option allows programs to be fully opened without displaying the taskbar on the bottom. Of course, whenever you feel like having your taskbar at the bottom again, follow the same steps but uncheck the "Auto-Hide Taskbar" and check the "Lock the Taskbar" option.
When it comes to Mac OS, the taskbar is, of course, known as a dock and you can hide it if you wish to. The Dock icon within the System Preferences opens up a window where you can check a box to hide the dock automatically.
If you are one of the Mac owners, did you know that you can preview any type of file, even the Photoshop files and videos? Select the desired file that you wish to preview, and press and hold the spacebar. You stop previewing the file by releasing the spacebar. Feel free to preview any adjacent files by simply using your keyboard arrows while holding space.
This feature is perfect for all of you who are into photography since finding the right one could be a bit tiresome without the preview option. This feature enables you to go quickly through the pictures and selected the ones you like and separate them from the folder that you are previewing. The same thing is available with videos, as long as the video format fulfills the requirements of this excellent feature.
If you're on Windows, you're limited to the preview pane which can be turned on in the folders settings. If you want to enable it, click on "Organize", head to "Layout" and select the preview pane to show. Same goes for Windows versions from 7 and above.
7. Force quit an app.
At some point, all of us have faced with the "Application has stopped working" and a frozen screen, which made us try the various options just to make it go away. Struggling with this kind of a problem is common for novices, but there is a quick, professional solution.
One of the easiest ways to make the application force quit on Mac is to press the Command key together with the Option and Escape. By doing this, the "Force quit application window" will appear and all you have to do is to select the desired app that you wish to close and force quit it. It can be compared to the more famous Windows option which utilizes the Ctrl+Alt+Delete buttons. When you use this command on a Windows machine, Windows Task Manager will open, where you can see the apps that run at the moment and quickly find the one which misbehaves.
Sometimes an app can get pretty stubborn in its disobedience to close. In those cases, you can apply different, advanced ways to force quit an app on Mac. When you look into them further, you won't have problems with stubborn apps. Overall, make sure you're running latest drivers and official apps, which usually don't misbehave.
If you are presenting something to your class or you need your PowerPoint for an important business meeting, the last thing you want is to get distracted by the meaningless notifications that always find their way to pop up in the right corner at the most unwilling time. There is an easy way to disable these annoying pop-ups. Press and hold the (⌥) button and then press the "Notification Center" icon in the menu bar.
Once you have done this, you will see that the icon color is changing from gray to black, which means that all notifications won't arrive until you turn that option back on. If this didn't work for you, and you still see some of the notifications appearing on your screen, make sure to check out a detailed guide to see if you did everything that is needed.
If you have a Windows OS, notifications are disabled inside All Settings > System > Notifications and Actions (Windows 10). For Windows 7, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Notification Area Icons and customize which apps you want on your notification tray.
9. Change brightness and volume quickly.
Another cool shortcut that is good to know is how to modify the level of brightness on your Mac quickly as well as to turn down the volume fast, as it may come handy in some situations. If you are watching some content that is way too bright press the shift key (⇧) + Option key (⌥), and a small window will pop up where you can set up the brightness. Don't forget to look after your eyes, especially if you are pulling long hours sitting in front of a computer.
When it comes to the adjustment of sound on your computer, it can be quite irritating if your main speaker is out of your reach. To turn down the volume, without the need to stretch yourself across the desk, you have to press and hold the shift key (⇧) and use the scroll on your mouse. By doing this, a small sound window will appear allowing you to see and adjust the current volume level of your speakers.
Windows users, you have to click on a small notification tray and change the sound there. If you're on a laptop, there are keys for both brightness and sound adjustment on the keyboard.
10. Create your own keyboard shortcut.
In the world of computers, automation and shortcuts form a killer combo. Every professional computer user has them; these bad boys make us several times more productive and make our computers work exactly like we want them to. Windows users have the privilege with this possibility, as Mac users can't enjoy it in full swing (Yosemite adds app shortcuts to the keyboard, which gets Mac users pretty close to this function).
In order to make your own keyboard shortcut in Windows, you'll need a desktop shortcut first. To do this, you need to right-click and select the "Create Shortcut" option. Then, choose the app or folder you'd like to have a shortcut for, and press "Apply." Once you've made sure you have the shortcut on your desktop right click on it and go to Properties. After the new window has appeared, select the "Shortcut Key" line and in that blank space put whichever key you want, for example, K button. By doing this you are ready to go, your shortcut will be created, and you can access it by pressing the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [K] buttons.
This one might help a lot for you to look more tech-savvy.
Computers can help us a lot if we understand them and use them properly. The key to being current and productive, is persistence, routine, and positive attitude. Nothing is that tough that you can't beat it. Especially some operating systems. You can do it.
Start using these tips today and edge the competition!

Aducanumab Failure: Selectivity for the Toxic Oligomer is Essential to Treating Root Cause of Alzheimer's Disease
ProMIS Neurosciences Inc.
Mar 21, 2019, 14:47 ET
Discontinued aducanumab phase 3 studies emphasize urgent need for therapies that target the toxic oligomer with exacting precision
TORONTO and CAMBRIDGE, MA, March 21, 2019 /CNW/ - ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc. (TSX: PMN) (OTCQB: ARFXF), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, highlights the urgent need to selectively target the toxic oligomer with exacting precision as part of the global effort to develop disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
On March 20, Biogen and its partner, Eisai, terminated two late-stage clinical trials of aducanumab, which could have offered a disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The termination of aducanumab phase 3 trials, along with the discontinuation of the crenezumab program by Roche Holdings and partner AC Immune announced on January 30, underscores the urgent need for drug candidates that are highly selective for the toxic oligomer form of amyloid beta (Aβ). Aducanumab was not selective enough as it binds mainly to the plaque form of Aβ. Likewise, crenezumab was not selective for the toxic oligomer as it binds all forms of Aβ.
"These are the hard lessons of science, but there's hope. Aducanumab was developed over a decade ago to go after plaque, which we have since learned is the incorrect therapeutic target because plaque is a largely non-toxic form of amyloid beta," explained Dr. James Kupiec, ProMIS Chief Medical Officer. "Aducanumab wasted too much limited ammunition on the wrong target, which also led to the dose limiting side effect of brain swelling (edema). Unlike aducanumab, ProMIS' lead antibody candidate for Alzheimer's, PMN310, reflects key lessons learned, namely that the toxic oligomer of amyloid beta is a root cause of AD, not plaque. PMN310 is the first antibody to selectively target just the toxic oligomer, a misfolded, toxic form of amyloid beta, offering a potential significant advantage over aducanumab and other less selective antibodies in terms of both efficacy and safety."
Responding to numerous studies showing the toxic oligomer, a misfolded protein that derives from naturally occurring Aβ, as a root cause of Alzheimer's disease, ProMIS Neurosciences has created a novel, proprietary method for generating and developing antibodies that can uniquely and precisely target this toxic misfolded protein, filling a critical gap for drug developers. Preclinical studies show the company's lead antibody candidate, PMN310, demonstrates a high degree of binding to toxic oligomers from Alzheimer's disease brains without binding to plaque or other non-toxic forms of Aβ.
About ProMIS Neurosciences
ProMIS Neurosciences, Inc. is a development stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody therapeutics selectively targeting toxic oligomers implicated in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The Company's proprietary target discovery platform is based on the use of two complementary thermodynamic, computational discovery engines - ProMIS and Collective Coordinates – to predict novel targets known as Disease Specific Epitopes on the molecular surface of misfolded proteins. Using this unique precision approach, the Company is developing novel antibody therapeutics for AD, ALS and PD. ProMIS is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ProMIS is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol PMN, and on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol ARFXF.

It's been a while since I have reviewed any extension for Chrome, and considering the speed with which they grow, many interesting ones come to notice. One particular extension by the name of Google Images Search caught my attention, which the developer claims to be 'using image search to find out definition of any word'. Basically it allows you to highlight any word(s) and perform an image search for those with just one mouse click, without leaving the page.
In order to use, select/highlight the word(s) that you want to look up images for. Then, without moving the mouse cursor, left-click, and image search results will be displayed as thumbnails at the bottom of the page.
To view the full image, click any thumbnail and the image will open in a new tab, thus no effect on your browsing experience. If you want more search results, click between any two images and more will show up.
Google Images Search is a neat and helpful Chrome Extension that allows you to look up images on the fly, without having to go through the additional clicks of typical image search. Full resolution images are displayed directly, so that is also a plus. I find it particularly useful if you need to quickly find out what something looks like, e.g., a dress, a landmark, etc.
The extension is fresh out (released today) so we can expect more updates and enhancements as the user-base grows.


The proposed plans for an extension at Maltings Pavilion in Ditchingham. Picture: Courtesy of Jon Fuller.
I would like to thank all those people who came along last Saturday to look at our proposals for an extension to the Maltings Pavilion on Pirnhow Street in Ditchingham. There were many positive comments and I suppose more pertinently no negative ones.
The drawings demonstrating the proposals will continue to be available to view at the Maltings Pavilion over the next few weeks and if anyone who could not make it to our open day but would still like to review them and comment then we are usually open most evenings and all day at the weekends.
The next stage in the process is to work up grant applications to relevant supportive organisations and start to build towards the aim of raising the £400,000 to £500,000 needed to complete the project.
The ultimate goal is to create a community hub at the Maltings Pavilion where a wide variety of activities and community events can be run simultaneously alongside outdoor sporting activity. It seems to me that it makes clear financial sense that income from the community and the sports activity combine to make the whole facility self financing.
Thank you again to all those people who came to the Pavilion last Saturday to show an interest in our future plans and as the project progresses in the coming months I will try and update everyone further.
Just recently you publicised a photograph in the Beccles and Bungay Journal of a class of pupils at Crowfoot CP School taken in 1956.
I was most interested in this photograph as I spent six happy years teaching at this school from 1952 when it was opened, until 1958 when I left to become headmaster of Ilketshall St Lawrence school where U stayed for 28 years.
I can still give names for several children in this photograph, but as Mike Nicholls says sadly some of them are no longer with us.
Mr Nicholls says I instigated a game called Stowe Ball, actually it was called Stool Ball, but I don't think I can claim to be the instigator of this game as it was a great favourite in primary schools in that era and suitable for both boys and girls alike.
I am glad that Mike enjoyed playing it.
The British Heart Foundation would like to thank everyone in Beccles for kindly donating money during a street collection last week.
The money collected came to less than £20 but we appreciate any donation no matter how small.
Where do all the quay fees go?
Coming back off holiday and reading back issues of the Beccles and Bungay, I was surprised to see two Waveney District Councillors telling us how WDC was putting the first £30,000 towards getting the quay back to the condition it was in before total neglect by the district council which caused the need for £1,200,000 to be spent on it.
Perhaps we could be told where all the various fees collected from the quay went? Why are we in Beccles paying the same rates as people in Lowestoft when we get absolutely nothing for them?

Nicholas Grider on Janice Lee's Damnation
Damnation, Janice Lee. Penny-Ante Editions, 2013
by Nicholas Grider
In scientist Nicholas Humphrey's recent book Seeing Red he describes two forms of "the present," both of which Janice Lee's Damnation explore in a kind of breathtaking inversion. According to Humphrey, there are two conscious presents: the first is an infinite number of infinitely small "physical" presents in which nothing can happen because the instant is too brief, and then our more familiar lived "subjective" present, a kind of extension or bridge between past and future in which we perceive everything to take place and how we understand time.
The reason this is germane to Lee's novel, a meditation on the "long take" in the films of auteur Bela Tarr, is that in the novel Janice flips the function of each present: as Lee's collection of characters wait, and wait more, and linger, tightly wound in the subjective present, all the while everything can and does happen in a wild instant––a life changes, a village changes, the whole world transforms. This reversal is something beyond the engagement with Tarr that unifies the novel and is just one of many ways in which the novel recommends itself as a book not just to read (which you should), but to re-read, to linger on, linger in. A book to wait with and wait in.
Waiting is a central idea of the book, and in lieu of an apocalyptic plot hidden just outside of the characters' reach, the characters waiting for something to happen, or for nothing to happen, becomes an urgent matter. Set in a timeless village in an unnamed country, only two things happen as they would in a traditional novel; the latter of these is something I won't spoil but the first of which is that a bible arrives postmarked to no one in the village but seems to bring with it a kind of demonic power that makes children prophets, commands the weather, makes the animal world an ever-closer lingering menace, and stops the adults in the book absolutely cold, leaving them unable to do much but surround themselves with noise in a village drifting into a kind of stasis that builds in dimension and intensity until the book's revelatory final moments.
And what we're reading with the book is not the development of character––no one in the book even has a name––but rather different kinds and styles of waiting, of trying to wait, of being unable to do anything but. And in prose, Lee's nod to the cinematic long take becomes menacing itself for the very reason that it takes place in prose and as such contains both a physical present (the time of reading the novel) and a subjective present (the architecture of time within the novel itself). And, for being as such more meditative than driven, the novel nonetheless compels us to want to know what will happen next, from page to page and in the world of the novel, because while we know there's a "next" page to turn to, it becomes increasingly uncertain whether a "next" exists in the world of the book, and whether we even want to know, questions that become as urgent a matter for the characters and reader alike as any racing plot in a standard thriller.
And if the book, triumphantly individual in its ability to dwell without naming, has any close relatives in the world of literature it's not in the work of Tarr's screenwriter Laszlo Krasznahorkai but in the otherwise cheap thrill of a suspense/thriller genre novel, except all of the event of such a novel is either building up in Lee's book, about to burst forth, or has already happened and can't be articulated by the nameless, unheroic characters, much less understood and acted upon. Damnation is literally a book of just what the title names, but also a book of almost, a book of the in-between cleaving what might have happened from what might happen, a collective subjective present in which nothing can happen because all of the present is spent waiting for something to happen or recalling something that had happened, and the novel nearly has something of an almost occult ability to render waiting not a metaphysical crisis but an anxious, unsettling, and very real eternity, until that question, the question of whether something can happen, becomes more consuming than any clue in a genre thriller.
This is not to imply, though, that the book dwells in stasis or else simply performs in prose the "long take" of which the novel is partly a study; instead of long takes we're presented with a montage of physical presents shared by some of the village-dwellers, some of whom make a forceful impression during a cameo appearance or else recur, as with "lovers" in name only who are themselves unsure whether they're waiting for a springtime of their love either fading away or becoming real; both seem possible, even simultaneously possible in the supernatural collective stasis Lee places her characters in; as an unnamed Girl either reminds herself, commands herself or is told about halfway through the novel, "You must remain in the present." And Lee's tightly lucid but never plain prose moves backward and forward within this command (or demand, or surrender) as characters watch but don't act, and if something does happen it happens beyond the immediate purview of the characters and can only be recalled in hushed tones, as with the death of a girl (maybe the death of the Girl) later on in the novel, or the fear and bewilderment with which the villagers respond to the almost-happening, the endless rain, the passage of the possibly cursed Bible, the Word, from person to person. At one point, in brief conversation, one character asks another, "What exactly are you afraid of?" and the only reply he can get is "I don't know. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes everything. Sometimes just the dark." And, a little later, the center of the novel's concerns in a simple exchange: "How long are we to wait?" "A little while longer."
In at once both a breathtakingly austere and wondrously lurid novel of the endless now that comes before an unknowable future, Lee manages to not only offer her take on "the long take" but to surpass reference and craft a collective portrait of not-quite-damned but faceless and motionless villagers caught in both the fear and the thrall of being unable or unwilling to break their current "nothing" with a future of a "something" that, as the novel proceeds, you understand as the characters suspect can be nothing other than terrifying beyond naming, an end and beginning, a future from which no one can escape no matter how much they (and we) try to wait.
Nicholas Grider is an artist and writer; his first book, the story collection Misadventure, will be published by A Strange Object in February 2014, and his work has appeared in Conjunctions, The Collagist, Caketrain and elsewhere.

Some people think that temperature is the most important factor that determines the level of comfort inside the home. While this may be true to a certain extent, humidity and indoor air quality also plays an important part in the overall mix so you need to find that perfect balance to improve the comfort level inside your home.
There are several factors at play which makes keeping the indoor temperature a challenge. Aside from the prevailing weather and temperature outside the home, you also need to consider the heat gain and heat loss through your windows, leaks in the outer shell of the home and body heat emitted by the home occupants. To provide an easy fix to this problem and create a more comfortable and healthier environment, consider using a programmable digital thermostat.
With a programmable thermostat, you can set the temperature in your home during different times of the day to provide the most comfort. And since you will be using energy to cool or heat your home only when you really need it, you can save up to 10% on your energy bill!
Aside from determining the comfort level inside the home, relative humidity can have a significant impact on your family's health as well. A humidity level below 30% can make the air too dry and irritate the mucous lining of the nose and throat, make breathing difficult and increase the risk of respiratory infections, and dry your skin and eyes. On the other hand, a high humidity level (above 60%) encourages the proliferation of mould and dust mites and increases the risk of respiratory problems.
Considering the fact that the quality of air inside the home also plays a vital role in keeping your home safe and comfortable at all times, you should consider changing your HVAC filter every one to three months. Keep in mind that a dirty air filter significantly decreases air flow and makes your HVAC work harder. Not a pretty thought, right?
Having different micro-climates inside the home can be extremely stressful and may lead to serious health complications, especially in older adults, so you need to maintain a constant temperature inside the home at all times. For best results, get a regular HVAC check-up by a professional. It's time to finally say 'no' to climate zone wars inside the home. With these tips, you surely can.

About The Cook Islands
The Cook Islands are located in the South Pacific, northeast of New Zealand and between American Samoa and French Polynesia.
There are a total of fifteen islands split into the more populated Southern Cook Islands formed by volcanic activity and the Northern Cook Islands which compromise of mainly coral atolls, which are scattered over 770,000 square miles of ocean.
A former British protectorate which became self-governing in 1965, the territory is now in free association with New Zealand. The 15 volcanic islands and coral atolls of the Cook Islands are scattered over 770,000 square miles of the South Pacific, between American Samoa to the west and French Polynesia to the east. Soon after landing in Rarotonga you can be kayaking on the crystal-clear lagoon, sipping on your first cocktail or relaxing poolside at your beautiful resort. Times are changing in this formerly overlooked paradise as tourists discover the food, snorkelling and distinct culture.
Fifteen droplets of land cast across 2 million square km of wild Pacific blue, the Cook Islands are simultaneously remote and accessible, modern and traditional. But beyond the island's tourist buzz and contemporary appearance is a robust culture, firmly anchored by traditional Polynesian values and steeped in oral history.
Named after Captain Cook, who explored them in 1773, the islands were once autonomous, home to tribes of mixed Polynesian ancestry. Governments still seek advice on matters of culture, custom and land ownership from a council of hereditary leaders known as the House of Ariki.
More than twice as many native Cook Islanders live in New Zealand than live in the islands themselves. Most of them have left in search of a brighter economic future. As New Zealand citizens they can also live in Australia. Cook Islanders are entitled to New Zealand citizenship, which has led many people to migrate to look for better economic opportunities. Although the government has encouraged islanders to return, often giving individuals privileges, it has had little effect and local population has continued to fall.
Culturally, the Cook Islands reflect many aspects of the South Pacific Islander culture, though with some distinct Cook Islander flavours especially within the traditional arts of woodcarving, weaving and quilt making. Similarly, Polynesian culture has had a big influence of the development of Cook Islander performing arts, with much of the music and dance originating from the Polynesian Islands.
The Cook Islands National Infrastructure Investment Plan (NIIP) which seeks to facilitate the 3 year capital planning process and revise the longer term capital master plan. This process involves participative prioritisation, developing financing strategy and consideration for creating the capacity to operate and maintain new assets.
The economy of the Cook Islands in highly influenced by the geography of the area. The islands are isolated and lack the capacity and infrastructure of more formal economic activities.
The economy of the Cook Islands is based mainly on tourism, with minor exports made up of tropical and citrus fruit. Manufacturing activities are limited to fruit-processing, clothing and handicrafts. Black pearls are the Cook Islands' leading export.
Like many other South Pacific island nations, the Cook Islands' economic development is hindered by the isolation of the country from foreign markets, the limited size of domestic markets, lack of natural resources, periodic devastation from natural disasters, and inadequate infrastructure. Agriculture, employing more than one-quarter of the working population, provides the economic base with major exports of copra and citrus fruit.
The encouragement of tourism, and a debt restructuring agreement, have rekindled investment and growth. The government is targeting fisheries and seabed mining as sectors for future economic growth.
In recent years the Cook Islands offshore industry has expanded significantly due to the signing of several pieces of progressive legislation.
Black pearls are the chief export. Agriculture, the sale of fishing licences to foreign fleets and offshore finance are also key revenue earners.
Cook Island law is based off of English Common Law, which was established when the Cook Islands were under British protection in 1888. The country was annexed by New Zealand in 1901 and received self-governing authority Zealand in 1965.
Pr-Self-Governance: Cook Islands were first brought under European control in 1888, when they were proclaimed a British protectorate under the administrative control of the British High Commissioner of the Western Pacific, then stationed in Fiji. In 1901 they were annexed to the British colony of New Zealand and thenceforward were subject to the law-making power of the New Zealand Parliament. However, there was no general application of New Zealand laws, only specific statutes and subsidiary legislation were applied.
Consequently, the laws of the Cook Islands before the country acquired self-governance in 1965, comprised:
Queen's Regulations
Acts of the New Zealand Parliament
Acts of the British Parliament
Acts of the British Parliament specifically applied to Cook Islands by New Zealand Acts of Parliament
English common law and equity
Aggregates are compiled from the Banking Survey which covers the Four commercial banks in the Cook Islands: ANZ, Bank of the South Pacific (BSP), Bank of the Cook Islands (BCI) and Capital Security Bank (CSB). The Cook Islands does not have a Central Bank and uses the NZ Dollar as its currency.
Narrow Money (M1) consist of Notes and Coins in circulation and Demand Deposits. M2 consist of narrow money (M1) and quasi money (savings, demand and term deposits), Net foreign position of the banks, Net domestic credits.
Anti-Money Laundering: FATF Status
The Cook Islands is a member of the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG).
APG History And Background
The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering is an inter-governmental organisation, consisting of 41 member jurisdictions, focused on ensuring that its members effectively implement the international standards against money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing related to weapons of mass destruction.
A Cook Islands International Company (IC) or International Business Company (IBC) as it is referred to in other jurisdictions, is an offshore entity giving individuals and corporations numerous advantages such as security and tax planning benefits.
There are three main pieces of legislation in the Cook Islands dealing with international offshore companies and services that are:
Limited Liability Company Act 2008
International Companies Act 1982
International Trusts Acts 1984
There are several other pieces of legislation that establish the rules and procedures for international investors, offshore insurance schemes, as well as the offshore banking sector, which are:
Trustee Companies Act of 1981-82
Offshore Banking Act 1981
Offshore Insurance Act, 1981-82
Cook Islands Monetary Board Act 1981
International Partnerships Act 1984
The Development Investment Act 1977
All international entities are exempt from taxation. The Cook Islands have enacted strong protective measures ensuring the confidentiality and secrecy of all international companies, bypassing foreign authorities seeking tax or financial information.
Registration of offshore companies
The Cook Islands offshore financial sector emerged in 1982 with the passing of the Cook Islands International Companies Act, which was later accompanied by an amending piece of asset protection legislation that is regarded as the most comprehensive and secure pieces of legislation in the world, firmly ensuring the assets of foreign Cook Island investors.
Over the years, the Cook Islands government has, time and time again, supported its position as an offshore financial centre, refusing to comply with foreign directives and court orders seeking to strong arm the local government and breech the impenetrable Cook Islands offshore structures.
The last few years the Cook Islands, in order to comply with new international standards by the OECD and anti-money laundering directives, have had to institute several automatic tax agreements and reporting requirements.
Companies incorporated in the Cook Islands enjoy structural flexibility and simple administrative procedures in a highly secure and confidential location. There are minimal reporting and regulating restrictions with comprehensive protective offshore laws that ensure client security.
There are no other offshore jurisdictions that can boast of such extensive asset protection measures, the Cook Islands are truly the safest place in the world.
The legislation circumvents tax requirements and gives individuals and corporations the ability of added layers of privacy and confidentiality. The Cook Islands have very strong asset protection legislation in place that prevents foreign authorities from accessing account information.
The asset security and protection are maintained via provisions that restrict seizure, expropriation or confiscation of assets by foreign authorities or creditors.
Unlike many other foreign jurisdictions, the Cook Islands generally disregard foreign court orders, and thanks to their discretionary laws makes it illegal to disclose any names of information related to Cook trusts.
The Cook Islands also offers widely used offshore formation products for their strong asset protection and security measures.
The Top Uses of a Cook Islands Offshore Company
There are no restrictions from doing business anywhere outside of the Cook Islands, except where activities are deemed as being illegal or require a license to legally conduct such business.
The only limitations are in conducting business within the Cook Islands and when such activities are in banking, insurance or real estate, which require an appropriate license.

AI and Collective Intelligence: case studies /
Computer vision based on supervised deep learning to support community mapping
For 15 years, thousands of volunteers have used the online platform OpenStreetMap (OSM) to create an open map of the world. Volunteers help build OSM by adding manually captured data, reviewing open public data (such as satellite images) and annotating features like roads, highways and bridges using the platform.
Despite the popularity of OSM, many areas remain unmapped, unvalidated or incorrectly labelled. This is mostly because crowd annotation of maps is time- and labour-intensive for remote volunteers and finding an equivalent number of real-life validators is difficult. Maps are not static – particularly in vulnerable regions affected by conflict and environmental crises – so they may require remapping if an area experiences rapid changes in infrastructure. These areas need constant monitoring, which is difficult to achieve manually.
The AI and CI solution
The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) is a dedicated volunteer community that uses the platform to support responses to crises, such as urban floods and migration, by mapping vulnerable regions. In 2018, HOT launched the MapWithAI initiative (in partnership with Facebook) to support the mapping efforts of volunteers using artificial intelligence (AI).
MapWithAI uses computer vision to detect roads and terrain features of the streets on high-resolution satellite imagery. Trained using years of volunteer-labelled satellite data, complex patterns in images are identified by an algorithm known as a deep neural network segmentation model. This model estimates the probability that each pixel is part of a road, predicts and draws potential roads, and generates an enhanced image for the volunteer community through an editing tool called RapiD. Using RapiD, volunteers verify the AI generated roads, helping to identify errors in the model and contribute to its improvement.
The project initially focused on the response to flooding in Kerala, India, but has since been integrated into the HOT volunteer-management platform for deployment on other projects. Project managers and volunteers can opt-in to use the tool or continue mapping without it.
The new tool helps the OSM community to prioritise mapping efforts and respond more efficiently. Volunteers are still vital to the effort, as the algorithm makes common mistakes that can only be identified by human judgement. Witnessing the changes to conflict-affected regions is another uniquely human role, carried out by volunteers. These acts of 'data witnessing' help to raise awareness for social justice and drive humanitarian action. The combination of AI with crowdmapping has already led to impressive results. In Kerala, 21,500 roads were added to the map using the tool. A project in Thailand used the tool to catalogue more than 300,000 miles of roads in only 18 months, which may have taken another three to five years to achieve through 'traditional' mapping. Since December 2019, MapWithAI has generated maps for almost every country.[3]

On March 22, 1960, the lehendakari or president of the Basque Country, Jose Antonio Agirre (also spelled Aguirre), died in exile in Paris at the age of fifty-six.

Agirre had been–and remains to this day–arguably the most charismatic and certainly one of the key figures in twentieth-century Basque political history. Born in Bilbao in 1904, he studied law at the University of Deusto and later went to work for the family firm (a chocolate making company). At age twenty-seven he was elected mayor of Getxo, Bizkaia, for the Basque Nationalist Party and in October 1936–the Spanish Civil War already having broken out the previous July–he was chosen to become the first lehendakari. He then presided over a Basque government that had to deal with the trauma of war and its consequences, including the bombing of Durango and Gernika, the flight of thousands of people into exile, and ultimately defeat at the hands of Franco's forces.
Fleeing himself following the fall of Bilbao in June 1937–in a remarkable journey worthy of a Hollywood movie (on which see his own gripping account in Escape via Berlin: Eluding Franco in Hitler's Europe)–Agirre and his family traversed Europe and Latin America before settling in the United States in 1941, from where he initially led the Basque government-in-exile and helped create a pro-Allied Basque network during World War II in the hope of gaining US support for overthrowing the Franco regime. He later relocated to Paris, from where, in the 1950s during the new context of the Cold War in which the US began to support Franco's Spain, he pursued a new pan-European federalist policy. Throughout his political career, he was characterized for his statesmanship and was eulogized by even the staunchest of opponents. Agirre died in Paris and was buried in the cemetery of Donibane Lohitzune, Lapurdi, on March 27, 1960.
In Expelled from the Motherland: The Government of Jose Antonio Agirre in Exile, 1937-1960, Xabier Irujo charts Agirre's political career after the fall of Bilbao. As Irujo notes (see chapter 13), prominent figures attended the funeral Mass in Paris on March 26, including representatives of the Basque, Catalan, and Spanish Republic's governments-in-exile, major figures from French politics (including government ministers), and the ambassadors of Chile and Venezuela. Moreover, not only did thousands of people attend the burial in Donibane Lohitzune (despite severe border restrictions being imposed by the Spanish police), but memorial services were held for him throughout practically all the Basque communities of the Americas and Australia.
Today, a statue of Agirre stands in the heart of Bilbao. Photo by Fernandopascullo, courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
"He is already in his casket, but you can go see him," they told François Mauriac, the French Nobel Prize winner, in late March, 1960. Mauriac could utter only "broken words" in the presence of his friend Aguirre's corpse. Later he wrote, "The casket has a crystal peephole at the face's level. What a vision! . . . In this face, as if eaten away from inside, I cannot recognize the noble and frank face of Don José Antonio de Aguirre. . . . Who could have been the victim of a more unjust destiny than he?" Mauriac saw in Aguirre's face the horror that had destroyed its nobility, that still haunts his legacy—the bitter truth of the century. He wrote, "With the liberation [of Europe from fascism], José Antonio de Aguirre drank the chalice to the last dregs, when he understood that Franco would be respected and the apparent victory of the democracies covered up, concealed, at the very heart of the West, another very hidden victory: the one of the professional armies and policemen." Disguised as "free" and "democratic," or as "socialist," the cold warriors, led by Churchill, Truman, and Stalin, remained in charge, plotting the next Hiroshimas—only now with hydrogen bombs, thousands of times deadlier than the atomic ones. Mauriac observed in Aguirre the face of the century's unfinished agenda.
The death of the Basque president in exile, Aguirre, in Iparralde in 1960, marked an important symbolic moment for the gestation of nationalism in Iparralde. Around five thousand people attended his funeral, and his death seemed to mark a critical juncture for many individuals in Iparralde in their own shift toward more avowedly Basque nationalist positions.
Today, the Agirre Lehendakaria Center for Social and Political Studies, a collaborative project involving the UPV-EHU (University of the Basque Country), Columbia University in New York (The Advanced Consortium on Cooperation, Conflict and Complexity – AC4), Seton Hall University, and George Mason University (School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution – SCAR), is named in his honor.
And finally, a quick reminder that the Center is hosting the first part of a major international conference on the life and times of Agirre, starting this weekend, as reported in a post from earlier on this week (click here for more information).

Get up to date this Cervical Screening Awareness Month
Thursday 1 September 2016Media release2 minutes to read
Young girls and women are being encouraged to get up to date with their HPV immunisation and cervical smears this Cervical Screening Awareness Month.
"We know that cervical cancer is one the most preventable cancers, and being immunised against HPV as a young women and having regular smears as an adult helps reduce the risk of developing cervical cancer by around 90 per cent," Clinical Director of the National Screening Unit, Dr Jane O'Hallahan says.
HPV immunisation is currently available and free for girls and young women up until their 20th birthday. From 1 January 2017 it will also be available free from ages 9 to 26, and for boys and young men as well. The HPV Immunisation Programme aims to protect young people from HPV infection, which causes more than 90 per cent of cervical cancers.
Meanwhile, around 1.5 million women are enrolled in the National Cervical Screening Programme and around 400,000 women are screened annually. A cervical smear test usually takes less than 15 minutes and should be done every three years.
"The National Cervical Screening Programme aims to get 80 per cent of New Zealand women between the ages of 20 and 70 screened regularly. While we're nearly there with 76.5 per cent coverage nationwide, there's still much work to be done, especially with Māori, Pacific and Asian women.
"We're taking a multi-pronged approach to getting women to participate in regular screening. We contract with a number of providers who deliver individually-tailored and practical support, such as transporting and accompanying women to screening appointments. We also offer free smears for some women and are in the process of developing a new website and social marketing campaign to encourage women to get screened.
"Currently, around 150 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 50 women die from it each year in New Zealand. HPV immunisation combined with regular smears is the best way to bring these numbers down."
To find out when your next smear is due either call your GP or free-phone 0800 729 729.

Titanium dioxide in Q-Gel? Why??
Titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral compound which has been extensively tested for safety and lack of toxicity. It is approved for use in foods, drugs and cosmetics. It is an opacifying agent which helps keep light from entering the delicate contents in the softgels. Titanium dioxide is also used as a sunscreen in several cosmetic/topical products.
Titanium dioxide is an approved, (by the FDA), food additive subject to a maximum of 0.5% of the food. If one were to consume 4 ounces (120 grams) of a food containing 0.5% titanium dioxide one would ingest 750 mg of titanium dioxide -- 8 ounces would contain 1500 mg etc. Compared to this, the softgels contain only a few mg in each. A very safe level indeed!
The level of titanium dioxide in the gelatin shell that encloses the Q-Gel CoQ10 liquid is less than 2 mg. It is totally and completely safe in our products. Note: there is no titanium dioxide in the Q-Gel Mega 100 formulation.
Some marketers conveniently omit listing titanium dioxide on their labels. We list ALL ingredients. You can trust our labels and more importantly, you can trust that you are receiving ALL the ingredients specified on the label and in the amount specified.

Le Centre-ville de Chicoutimi est le quartier économique historique et le siège d'une grande partie des institutions publiques de l'arrondissement Chicoutimi à Saguenay, au Québec (Canada). Il se situe approximativement entre la rivière Saguenay et le boulevard de l'Université et est délimité par le boulevard Saint-Paul à l'ouest et la rue Bégin, la rue Jacques-Cartier et la rue Racine à l'est.

Au , la désignation de Chicoutimi comme chef-lieu du comté et l'implantation de l'évêché et la cathédrale du diocèse établit le centre-ville de Chicoutimi comme siège du pouvoir institutionnel au Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. Le développement économique de la ville au début  en fait le centre économique de la région et le siège social des compagnies forestières comme la Price Brothers and Company et la Compagnie de Pulpe de Chicoutimi. Avec l'expansion urbaine de la ville au cours de la seconde moitié du , ce quartier perd peu à peu son rôle commercial face au Boulevard Talbot et ses centres commerciaux. Revitalisé au cours des années 1990, il se révèle aujourd'hui comme une plate-forme culturelle et touristique importante.

Situation
Le centre-ville de Chicoutimi est situé à l'est de la confluence de la rivière Saguenay et la rivière Chicoutimi dans une dépression du graben du Saguenay face à Chicoutimi-Nord. Il est traversé  par la rivière aux Rats  qui est canalisé sous terre du parc Rosaire-Gauthier à la rue de l'Hôtel de Ville.

Il est délimité à l'est par l'intersection de la rue racine et du boulevard Saguenay Est (Fée des bois) en bordure de la rivière Saguenay. La limite est longe ensuite la rue Racine direction sud-ouest jusqu'à l'intersection avec la rue du Séminaire qu'elle suit jusqu'à la rue de l'Hôtel-Dieu puis l'intersection avec Jacques-Cartier Est. La limite sud suit la rue Jacques-Cartier Est jusqu'à la rue Bégin qu'elle emprunte direction sud vers le boulevard de l'Université. Le boulevard de l'Université constitue la limite sud de la rue Bégin au boulevard Saint-Paul qui est la limite ouest jusqu'au pont Dubuc.

I absolutely love this hair! I wanted to make a YouTube review when I received this but I have been sick and I didn't want to wait any longer! When I first got my hair I was nervous. The hair is uber silky which threw me off. I was nervous about washing it as I wash all hair I receive before wearing but it remained soft, silky, and healthy which is key! You can wear this hair washed and out the door, straightened, or curly as I have in the photos! I have worn the hair up and plan on doing different updos throughout the winter!

I was soooo nervous about ordering this hair because it is my first lace wig (and as a college student, I was scared about wasting my money and not liking it lol) But I am so glad I made the decision to get this hair. I will be doing an review on this hair REALLY soon!! Be on the look out :) P.S. Get the SILKY texture if you are ordering this wig. Seriously feels like butter! Thanks Eva Wigs!!!

I Was Facing The Death Penalty…
Rafael November 30, 2019 25 Comments on I Was Facing The Death Penalty…
In this video, we get the opportunity to meet Ryan Fredrick. A man who I did a video about almost 3 years ago. And someone who was facing the death penalty. But would only end up serving a 10 year prison sentence. This is the craziest story you will ever hear.

I want to thank Ryan for sharing his story with AfterPrisonShow. This is the first time he has told his story and his story is truly the craziest one I have ever heard and I imagine the craziest story you have ever heard as well. If anyone would like to reach out to Ryan personally, his email is Ryanfrederick1979@gmail.com
Softwine Market says:
What a heartbreaking story. The loss of life, the loss of freedom, forgiveness, a kind of miracle that saves his life at the beginning. It's all there. And a great interviewer who lets the story be told.
mdac272 says:
Maybe I missed it but why exactly were the cops busting into his house? Were they serving a warrant, and if so, for what?
chino bori25 says:
Wow this is a very sad story,I feel bad for this guys,and is something that it can happen to anyone,well some one like me I don't think be course I'm a tipe of guy that I prefer to not having a weapon even for defense,I don't like guns,but something and a lot of good people out there that they are carrying guns and anything can happen,God bless this guy very much and family and I hope he can just move forward and live a normal life,that's the mean reason why people hate cops, course they lie so much and like this guy there are a lot of prisoners that are inocente at this time,well it always existed and I'm glad to that he didn't whent to death throw and ghet kill couse of that case,and with what reason that cops whent and broke in to his house at that time in night,do he never think about the worst this k I can happen if he brakes in to someones home 5hat late at night and knowing that people can ghet shot and ghet kill,that was a very stupidity move from the cop
Brian Smith says:
100% self defense. Should've never done a day in prison. The police should've announced themselves straight away. Such a tragedy
Jacqueline Williams says:
I believe everything this guy is saying. Thank god he wasnt murdered by those legal criminals
Sweb 35 says:
If you enter my home, it's a possibility you get shot. The officers should have gone to his house with a search warrant, knock on the doors, left a card to call them if no reply try a second time and if after all that then bust in the house. Of course that will give you time to get rid of whatever if that's the case.
Umar Abdullah says:
This is not his fault, the police should know not to do knock warrants in the middle of the night…
boobbob 00 says:
"Does nobody no good to look at the whole picture… u ain't got nothing there but what's in front if u" wise words
I love his final message. Couldn't be put any better
A.M N' Memories says:
Did they go into why the cops were at his house in the first place? Did I just miss them telling why the cops came in the first place and why the fuck was that cop breaking thru this dude's door? It just seems like such a stupid thing to do. If I'm a cop and I'm going to a house where I believe the occupants are dangerous enough to warrant going to said house in the middle of the night to no doubt catch him off guard just for me to loudly bust a hole in the front door and then slide thru half way head first unable to protect myself should dude, you know come out with a gun? Why in the HELL wouldn't they announce themselves and bust thru the door like a swat team does. What did they expect this guy to do? Wait until the cop got into the house and then have him identify himself? Hell no, I see someone crawling thru a fucking hole in my door that they just put there and haven't tried to identify himself first, I'm shooting too. Fucking stupid. I don't want to say the cop deserved it but he sure as hell wasn't very smart. Nobody has the right to do that kind of shit, cops included.
Alisha Bach says:
Why did they target him in the first place ?
Makeup Mobster says:
Over some weed?? Man sorry but this is why I'm all for the decriminalization of weed. Ridiculous. This guy is growing some pot plants in his house and a plainclothes Officer busts into his home in the middle of the night over a few pot plants? This sounds insane. Crazy. We have the right to bear arms for this very reason. If someone busts into your home in the middle of the night, Unannounced, you have a right to protect your home. I can't believe this man spent a day in jail. Sucks! You can tell from listening to this guy that he's not a violent man and not someone who would have even shot that gun had he known it was a police officer. I don't even understand how this man could've been charged with 1st degree murder. First degree requires you to prove that the crime was in some way premeditated. How can this crime be considered premeditated??
Frazer Herewini says:
Crazy is right , poor guy wish him all the best.
UCE TUBE says:
Even if everything they said bad about him was true how the hell is he found guilty for defending his home
patrick hayes says:
Amazing Amazing Amazing. Sir thank you for sharing your story.
Daryl Hoyt says:
Ryan…wow…your gentle spirit, your unwillingness to spoil the present by resenting the injustices of the past, I find so refreshing. Though at great expense to you, what this whole experience has produced is a man whose sympathetic kindness—even toward those who are entrenched in falsehoods regarding him—that has the promise of being infectious. Thank you, sir.
Richard France says:
I've watched up to 18 minutes so I don't know what happened after that BUT from what I have heard it sounds like this guy doesn't deserve to go to prison at all. Since the american justice system is most likely very corrupt I assume they most likely embellish the story and add "facts" that never happened in order to make the suspect look bad. I never forget listening to a story about a guy who said something stupid on a video game. Says something dumb (like a terror threat) and then says he's joking and will never do it at the end. Court clips the ending and just shows the jury what he says so their decision is based on that. Guy gets 10 years. It's all bollocks.
Tommy Meade says:
Why haven't the police learned to stop doing raids in the middle of the night when people are sleeping you've got a case in Kentucky now where young lady was killed and it happens all over the United States but yet they keep doing the raids at night no-knock warrants are a bad idea
Damon Cooke says:
I'm not calling this guy a liar but I've worked around some inmates and everyone one of their stories is just like this. Everyone of them got screwed over just like this guy. It's hard to know what to believe. Usually they're in prison for a reason.
Latanya Simmons says:
What a nice guy
Wikipedia Intellectual says:
Imagine losing your life over weed.
khanbibi says:
wow that is crazy ryan was lucky
Catarina Quick says:
Allways two sides to stories, so never judge untill you know both sides.
I'm sorry not sure if I will get any hate but I don't believe this man should have got anything!! Someone is breaking into your home coming through a hole in your door?? I would have either booted his head in OR shot him!! He was protecting himself when did that become a crime? Cops come to your residence they are suppose to say who they are and if you don't open your door THEN they break in!! Damn this could happen to anyone, anywhere very scary. I feel so bad for this guy 😔 I feel bad for the cop who lost his life as well please don't get me wrong but he didn't know it was a cop!! RIP to the police man, and my condolences to his family and friends. A life was lost that could never be replaced.

Peak District National Park is an underrated gem and somewhere I just had to visit . We created our own little route along Pennine Way leading us to Edale with the guidance of Poppy, our WorldHikingVlog guest hiker for the day.
Wow this is a leg burner! I guess there is no better way to start a hike that to be 15 minutes in before a dramatic incline up Jabobs Ladder (we learnt the hard way why they call it a ladder!) .. Jacobs ladder really is the best way to start Pennine Way.

A study of American imperial endeavors that still reverberate today.
This volume will introduce you to primary documents on the American empire from a pivotal era of U.S. expansion beyond the North American continent in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Covering a wide range of places–including Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines—the documents also touch on a wide range of themes, among them race, citizenship, civilization, democracy, cross-cultural encounter, and self-determination. The introduction provides the context essential to understanding this period and the ways in which the echoes of 1898 still reverberate today, including in the reach of U.S. power and the composition of the American people. Through a collection of sources representing the voices of those living under imperial rule as well as those imposing and opposing it, you will have what you need to consider the American imperial endeavors.
Why Did the United States Intervene in the Cuban-Spanish War?
