Seven Questions: Unearthing the Bible
by Jenny Hazan
Dr. Eilat Mazar is revealing the footsteps of Jewish biblical history in Jerusalem.
After excavating the City of David in the 1970s and 80s and finally unearthing the 3,000-year-old archeological jewel that is King David's palace in 2005, leading Hebrew University of Jerusalem archeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar has just uncovered another Old City treasure of incredible historical and biblical significance: a royal compound dating back to the 10th century, B.C.E.
According to Mazar, author of The Complete Guide to the Temple Mount Excavations (2002), this latest dig, the first such find from this time period in the area, provides compelling evidence of the Bible's depiction of the reign of King Solomon. By following in the footsteps of her renowned archeologist grandfather Benjamin Mazar, Dr. Mazar has revealed the footsteps of Jewish biblical history.
Q1: Tell me in more detail about your latest discovery. What exactly did you find?
Seal impressions (bullae) with Hebrew names
We found two sections of a city wall, one 70 meters long and six meters high, and the other 35 meters long and five meters high, between the City of David and the southern wall of the Temple Mount. Inside the walls we found the remains of a 6-meter-high gatehouse, a royal structure adjacent to the gatehouse, and an 8-meter-long and 6-meter-high corner watch tower, built of carved stones of unusual beauty, that overlooks the Kidron valley.
We proved to a high degree of certainty that the whole structure was erected in the 10th century B.C.E. and that it was in use during all the centuries until the destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C.E.
On the ground we found a wealth of material that proves the structures were used for royal, public, or administrative purposes: arrow heads, beads, jewelry, figurines, and an archive of dozens of seal impressions bearing decorations, Hebrew names and the inscription 'the king' testifying to its use within a monarchy.
In the 80s, we had already uncovered on site the largest storage jars -- 1.15 meters high -- ever found in Jerusalem. On one of them there was a partial inscription in ancient Hebrew indicating that it belonged to a high-level government official, the person responsible for overseeing the provision of baked goods to the royal court.

Excavation site
Q2: What is the significance of these findings?
The city wall that has been uncovered testifies to a ruling presence. Its strength and form of construction indicate a high level of engineering. A comparison of this latest finding with city walls and gates from the period of the First Temple, as well as pottery found at the site, enable us to postulate with a great degree of certainty that the wall that has been revealed was built by King Solomon in Jerusalem in the latter part of the 10th century B.C.E.
The wall was likely built by King Solomon in the latter part of the 10th century B.C.E.
This is the first time that a structure from that time period has been found that correlates with written descriptions of King Solomon's building in Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that he, along with help from the Phoenicians, built a temple, then his own palace, and surrounded them with a city wall to protect both them. The third chapter of the first book of Kings says, "…until he (Solomon) had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about."
Q3: How did you decide where to dig?
Actually, it's another phase of a series of excavations that started in the 19th century. The first surveyor to excavate here was Charles Warren, who did an underground survey of the shafts and galleries in the area and first described the outline of the large tower in 1867. He was the first to discover the fortification line between the City of David and the Temple Mount.
Then in the 60s, a small section of the fortification line was revealed. Afterwards, in the 70s, my grandfather, Benjamin Mazar, who conducted the Southern Wall excavations next to the Western Wall, excavated the site and revealed quite a lot of constructions that are part of this line. My team excavated there in the 80s and this latest excavation was meant as a concluding one, in order to open the area to the public. It turned out to be much more than I expected.
Q4: How can you be sure that you found what you think you found?
Dr. Eilat Mazar next to an 8 meter section of the corner tower that was excavated.
Before this excavation, we had suspicions about what we had found, but we didn't have enough material on hand to conclude with confidence. Now it's not much of a question. We can date the fortification line with much more certainty. Pottery shards discovered within the fill of the lowest floor of the royal building near the gatehouse testify to the dating of the complex to the 10th century BCE. And the ruling presence in Jerusalem at this time was King Solomon.
In several weeks we will have the results of the carbon dating. I am confident these results will fit what we see in the pottery. I am also confident that our lab work will produce the same conclusions. We have a lot of material to study: the seal impressions and figurines, the pottery, the botanical finds, the theological finds. This is a huge case study and we are going to gather all the information in order to reveal as full a picture as possible.
Q5: How do you react to those who deny this and other biblically significant archeological findings?
I don't have to react. It's very important to stick to the facts and let the facts draw the picture. These facts draw a picture of a central power in the 10th century B.C.E. You can ignore what the Bible tells us about King Solomon, but you can't get around the fact that at the time Jerusalem was very strong and led by a monarch and those who deny the biblical picture still have to deal with that reality. Everyone is free to suggest their own interpretations, but the data doesn't lie. The history of the Jewish people in Jerusalem is a scientific fact. History is in the past, and you cannot change history.
There are always people who try to twist the evidence one way or another and there are always attempts to rewrite history. The Moslem Waqf [the religious authority that administers the Temple Mount] has been claiming for years that there was never a temple there. As a member of the public Committee Against the Desecration of Antiquities on the Temple Mount, I have done my best to alert the world to the Waqf agenda to destroy all proof of Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem.
They are destroying the most important evidence of the history of the Jews.
It disgusts me to think of the ruins that have been destroyed in the 40-acre area around the Temple Mount that falls under Waqf jurisdiction. They are destroying the most important evidence of the history of the Jews. It is completely uncivilized.
Q6: How does this find compare to your other discoveries?
No one has ever found such a trove of artifacts from 10th century B.C.E. in Jerusalem, and certainly not so well-stratified or attached to such a monumental construction as a city wall. We are very lucky that this wall was built directly on the bedrock.
There have been other findings from King Solomon's time period in Megiddo, Chatzor and Gezer, but never before in Jerusalem, and this makes this finding very unique and very exciting for me.
Q7: As a Jew, how does this discovery make you feel?
I never felt that the Jews in Israel needed any further proof of their history in Jerusalem. It has been proven each generation, as we go along. But this discovery is about making that history more tangible. And I believe strongly that you need to appreciate your past in order to understand your future. I feel a great sense of continuity.
I also feel the continuity of the dig itself. It's the same site. It's a continuation of what we did in the '80s, a continuation of my grandfather's work, and it's a continuation of the story of the ancient Jewish core of Jerusalem. It's all about continuity.

Temple Mount Dig
I worked first as a volunteer then as a paid "digger" in 1975 and 1978 at the Temple Mount Excavations under Benjamin Mazar. I helped uncover area of the Wall that now dates to the first Temple period. I still have photos showing these stones with Prof Mazar in the background. We knew even in 1975 that much of this area had its beginning in the first Temple perion.

I brought groups from Australia in 1981, September 08 and again in January 2010 and September 2010. Can you please advise when this new find was discovered?

I had the great privilage to study in Hebrew University and to graduate in Jewish History and Mikra[Biblical studies]I took a course that your father taught in the year 1968.I follow your sacred work and your courageous attempts to stop the destruction on Temple Mount.Hopefully one day the words of the commander Mota Gur when he and his soldiers entered the Temple Mount during the six day war;"Har Habayit Byadenu" will be trully fulfilled
(22) Isaac Haskiya, May 28, 2013 3:09 PM
We know our history no matter what our enemies say.
Denying a nation´s identity by questioning her past is a cheap argument. It might come handy on Monday and when facts are discovered on Wednesday they will be questioned and denied just for the sake of destruction by so-called hostile intellectualism. That kind of argument is not only cheap but stupid too.
I appreciate archeologist Mazar enormously, especially when a sadistic history-vandal tells me that David Hamelech did not exist. She knows a lote better.
Luckily we have a state with a very effective army, exactly like David and Shlomo Hamelech had.
We Jews must be very uncomfortable to some people since our existence and our history is a threat to what they believe is right or wrong.

Thank you for all your wonderful work which shows us the truth. Have you gone on the discovery program at all. We all need that type of exposure now that the PA is saying we never existed in this area! Lies are something I despise since I try to be a truth seeker. The Arabs trashed King Solomans stable...I was there sifting through the debris...they had no regard for saving any sign of the Jewish Kingdom...surprise surprise!

ancient and hallowed "earth"
I like it that the words earth, once urth, contained the name, Ruth, which is a story about coming home, to a new home, in following the footsteps of Naomi. This beautiful story of ongoing excavations in and around The City of David and the dates going back to Solomon augment the wonder. I hope sometime to see this. I did see some of the early excavations several years ago. This is wonderful work and truly rewarding, for us all. I never had any doubt about the veracity of these stories. It's wonderful to recover our historic roots and everyone should feel glad about these continuing discoveries. We have, as a peoples, deep roots in this area and to doubt this, is now, totally not possible. Amazing work done by people with the echo of Amaze in their names: MAZAR. With thanks for a very uplifitng article. We are called the Wandering Jews and, as a peoples we did find, our way home, and history and herstory, in these archaeological findings, does so totally affirm that we do belong In Israel. There should be no question given these ongoing discoveries.

WOW women of wisdom
I just rediscovered this amazing article and my comment. And I have just several hours ago told a stock broker named Nomi her advice is sound and that, after all, Ruth follows Naomi. I hope one day this article is brought to her attention, this being the day I visited The Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit at Boston's MOS. Life is filled with astounding that cannot be denied as this feat of archaeology is revelatory. The scrolls, Yadin's contributions and the astonishing timing of The State of Israel and the receipt of the four scrolls on this day, all lend themselves to a major real life emotion picture! The reel world, or, the real world? It feels like merger to me. A Divine Story by a Master Storyteller.

I treasure development and progress for getting complete and accurate information, proving that the real "Promise Land" is for Israel. upon searching, reading, studying content of Holy Bible together with the ancient civilization 6,000 yrs ago, it only proves the reality that Jerusalem is the MAIN capital of Israel. the tribal division of land in Israel includes area of Jordan. I'm Praying that may the political leaders of Israel stand firm not to negotiate and compromise Jerusalem. they can check from the bokk of Nehemiah, Ezra and Daniel that Divine provision of GOD will be manifested and fulfilled in this last day.

Unearthing Biblical Jerusalem
I was one of those who first excavated the site along the sothern part of the Temple Mount Excavations in 1975. I remember talking with Prof Mazar abouth the significance of the Iron Age remains we were finding under the large Herodian building we were excavating. It was obvious of the reuse of the site over time. I also recall the remains of Iron age storage jars found in-situ adjacent to the foundation of the Ummayad palace overlooking the site found at the end of my tenure at the site. I worked on this site for much of 1975 and the Summer of 1978. It was and as time showed a rich and revealing patch of Jerusalem. I am so happy for Eilat and her discoveries. Her grandfather would be so proud in her vindicating his beliefs.

Out with the Wakf
Is it not time for the Government of Israel to remove the Wakf from Jerusalem and install a responsible authority to oversee the well-being of the Temple Mount and its environs, and thus preserve and not destroy our Jewish history as told in stone and artifacts.
A good expose which should be shared with the U.N.
I feel that the information should be shared with those who continue to berate Israel; the U.N. To split Jerusalem between those who don't share in its history or who believe that we don't have any right to the land is a shandah.
(12) sher, April 14, 2010 3:10 PM
i absolutely agree, i was horrified when i heard that there were times before that the palestinians were hauling out rocks and rubbles out of the temple mount, one of those piles could contain valuable pieces of shards or potteries belonging to King Solomon's period. keep digging so we can share to the whole world, jerusalem is for israel.

To #9 Elisheba
I don't think you would mind if I "corrected" a statement you made to the effect the Muslims wanted to steal your holiest places.... I don't think it's because they want them. Your holiest places have no meaning for them whatsoever. They just don't want you to have them. Plain and simple. According to how I read history, they at one time had possession of most of your holiest sites. It meant little to them, but now that the true owners have retaken their heritage sites, they want to rewrite history and destroy all evidence against them. G-D is with Israel.
Ann, June 19, 2013 2:11 PM
I quite agree with you, Raymond. The same thing happened here, in the "new" world. They don't care, they only want to wipe out and rule.
(10) Desmond, April 14, 2010 8:44 AM
To this day I do not understand why the Israeli troops, under Moshe Dayan, who took back East Jerusalem, allowed the muslims to stay on the holy site of the Temple. They should have kicked them off and taken the consequences. Do you think th world would have regarded Israel any differently to what it does now? As tourists in 2006 I and my group were looked at with hatred and taunted by a crowd as they came from the Friday "prayers". Keep digging Dr Eilat; let the world see the truth. HaShem gave ALL Israel to the Jews, not to any other rabble. And when the rabble have left, there will still be Jews in His city.
(9) Elisheba Batabraham, April 13, 2010 11:46 PM
Well I agree with Dr. Mazar that historical data cannot be changed and I can say that does not answer to political agendas of any kind. The Muslim world must accept that Jerusalem has been populated by jews before the existence of muslims!, there are enough proofs and they must evolve and accept this fact. They have Mecca and Medina, why they want steal our holyiest place and our entire land.

The victory of tradition
Nineteenth-century historical investigation became increasingly addicted to a destructive "hermeneutic of suspicion", reducing ancient witness to propaganda. Now, in Rome and in Jerusalem, the funeral rites of that hermeneutic are being celebrated. Just as Andrea Carandini has proved that Rome was founded as a city in about 750BC (the traditional date) and was ruled by kings who lived in something very like a palace, so, in Jerusalem, Dr. Mazar has given us stone-hard evidence of the rule a powerful king of Hebrew nationality in Jerusalem in the tenth century BC. The "hermeneutic of suspicion" has had its day, and is reduced to such unscholarly assaults on the evidence as the vandaism of the Waqf. This is a great moment in the history of historical studies, and I congratulate Dr.Mazar.
(2) Sam Davis Omekara, April 11, 2010 2:58 PM
JERUSALEM,; JERUSALEM. ETERNAL AND UNDIVIDED CITY.
This great work of Dr Mazar is further historical proof that Jerusalem has been and will remain the eternal city of the Great King. The Jews have come back and no one will separate them from their eternal heritage.
(1) Miriam, April 11, 2010 2:48 PM
As a lover of Jewish history a simple Thank You to Dr. Mazar feels very inadequate. Hashem led you to the site through the veracity of the Torah. But it was you and your capable team who had to do the physical and intellectual work in order to uncover this ancient site. My husband and I are planning a trip to Jerusalem this summer. I pray that we will be able to visit the City of David excavation site to see the progress of your exciting work.

Lo Shanghai Y-10 o Yun-10 (; letteralmente: Transporter-10) è un aereo di linea a fusoliera stretta quadrimotore turboventola sviluppato in Cina negli anni settanta dallo Shanghai Aircraft Research Institute. L'aereo si ispirava al 707-320C della Boeing, progettato secondo il regolamento dell'aviazione federale (parte 25, edizione 1970).

A causa dell'indisponibilità dei previsti motori turbofan WS-8, il prototipo di velivolo utilizzava motori turbofan Pratt & Whitney JT3D-7, acquisiti come motori di riserva per la piccola flotta di aeromobili Boeing 707 della CAAC. L'aereo poteva essere configurato per ospitare 178 passeggeri in alta densità, 149 in economia o 124 in classe mista; la grande cabina di pilotaggio ospitava cinque membri dell'equipaggio: pilota, copilota, ingegnere di volo, navigatore e operatore radio.

Sofia resident wins Bulgarian lottery jackpot
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on August 15, 2014 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Sofia resident wins Bulgarian lottery jackpot
A resident of Bulgarian capital city Sofia won the 7.26 million leva (about 3.71 million euro) jackpot in the second draw of the 6 of 49 game of the Bulgarian state lottery on August 14.
The winner's name was not made public as, under Bulgarian law, he or she must give their consent. The Bulgarian state lottery can only say where the winning ticket was submitted.
This was the third largest payout in the history of the state lottery, reached after about five million leva were added to it earlier this week – following news that an earlier payout in June was cancelled because of attempted fraud.
The other seven-digit jackpot, in the 6 of 42 game, rolled over and is expected to reach 2.86 million leva by the time of the next draw on August 17.
The Bulgarian Sports Totalisator was founded in 1957 and is the main sponsor of the Bulgarian Olympic Committee and other sport bodies in the country, which make it the main source of financing for sport in Bulgaria. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Sports Ministry.
It operates a national system for spreading of lottery games (called 'toto' in Bulgarian) – the digital games 6/49, 5/35 and 6/42, all with a rising jackpot and twice-a-week draws, on Thursdays and Sundays.

R.G. Male's Dark Corners - April 4, 2012.
There is something to be taken away and used from just about any form of artistic entertainment when you are a writer. That of course is because just about every one of those forms of entertainment requires writing. Though they don't use words even sculptors and painters are telling some kind of story. It should come as no surprise then when a video game prompts a writing idea. I have been reading articles about the game Mass Effect 3. One particular article caught my attention more than the others. This one mentions decisions from all 3 games impacting the finale of the final game in the trilogy. Taking this article at its word or extending the metaphor so that it would be true then the first game would result in 3 different endings. The second game holding with 3 variables too would result in 9 endings. Keeping with this, by the end of the third game you would have 27 possible endings. That would be a lot of endings. The variation between them at the individual level could be very subtle. They could be broken into larger groupings where there is a larger difference between each group.
What causes these changes--or would in other multi-end narratives? One factor is the death of characters. Those deaths cause ripples of influence as well as more concretely may leave some events with entirely different results. Many are the stories of a character in the right place at the right time with the right skill to pull victory from the jaw of defeat. What if such a person dies? As much as games, and often narratives in general, rely on these people living and being the focus. There are some situations that a secondary character pulls the hero's fat from the fire directly or indirectly. These other goals, that now break rather than build the situations leading to the protagonist's success, only add tension if used correctly. There is also the added drama of dealing with the death of a close and important ally.
Come back next week for where I'm going with this.

Q: Using Chinese Remainder Theorem to find the remainder when divided by 990. I'm still revising for my final (this class is absolutely killing me) and I need some help on the following problem:
What is the remainder when the number $101102103104105...996997998$ is divided by $990$?
The question says that CRT must be used. I actually found an alternative answer to this question on this site (link: Remainder when dividing by 990: Chinese Remainder Theorem) and understand the policy on duplicates, but I wish to know how we can use CRT on such a large number.
If we were to set $x = 101102103104105...996997998$, then based on the factors of $990$, we would get $x = k\pmod{10}$, $x = k\pmod{11}$ and $x = k \pmod9$. But how can I apply the CRT on such a large number?
Thanks! And sorry about the very similar question.

A: The number $x$ is indeed large but we can simplify its computation $\!\bmod 9\ \&\ 11\,$ using $\,10^{\large 3}\equiv \pm1\,$  and this makes the arithmetic so simple that it can all be done purely mentally, i.e.
$\!\!\bmod 11\!:\ 10^{\large 3}\equiv -1\,\Rightarrow\, x\equiv (998\!-\!997) + (996\!-\!995)+\cdots + (102\!-\!101)\equiv \overbrace{449\cdot 1\equiv  9}^{\large \equiv\ 4\ -\ 4\ +\ 9}$
$\!\!\bmod 9\!:\ \ \ 10^{\large 3}\equiv 1\,\Rightarrow x\equiv \begin{align} &\ \ \ \ \ 998+997+\cdots+\color{#0a0}{550}\\
                                  &+101+102+\cdots+\color{#0a0}{549}\end{align}\equiv 449(\color{#0a0}{1099})\equiv (4\!+\!4\!+\!9)(1\!+\!9\!+\!9)\equiv 8$
$\!\!\bmod 10\!:\ \ x\equiv 8\,$ too, thus  by CCRT $\ x\equiv 8\pmod{\!90}.\ $ By above $\,x\equiv 9\pmod{\!11},\,$ so by CRT
$\!\!\bmod\color{#c00}{ 11}\!:\,\ 9\equiv x\equiv 8+90\,\color{#c00}k\equiv 8+2k\iff 2k\equiv 1\equiv 12\iff \color{#c00}{k\equiv 6}$
so we deduce:$\ \ x = 8 + 90(\color{#c00}{6\!+\!11}n) = 548+ 990n$

A: Do you know the divisibility rules for $9,10,11$?  Apply each of them to get the remainder modulo those.  For example, as the number ends in $8$ it is equivalent to $8 \bmod 10$.  What is the sum of all the digits?  That gives the remainder $\bmod 9$.  Then find a number less than $990$ that has the right three remainders.

The shape is more muscular and athletic, and the overall effect gives the Forte a bit more attitude than it had in the past. In addition, the Forte gets a new, more refined version of the Kia "tiger nose" grille. The Korean automaker is expecting the new powertrain combination to get 35 mpg in the combined cycle. The new Forte sedan is set to go on sale later this year in the U.S.
GM said it would release the price closer to when the new truck arrives in showrooms. Chevrolet unveiled its much-hyped 2019 Silverado pickup truck Saturday night at Eastern Market, kicking off a trio of truck reveals expected at the Detroit auto show.
Underpinning the new model is the same platform as the one featured in the current Aussie-spec Ranger . The Ford Ranger has been launched in the U.S. This includes an aluminum hood and tailgate, aluminum front fenders, a fresh front-end design, different doors, and of course, a unique powertrain. The truck was designed with an athletic look in mind, which truck buyers favor.
Avengers: Infinity War opens on April 27th 2018 in the United Kingdom and May 4th 2018 in the U.S. and will feature an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr . Namely, these are the Skrulls: shapeshifting aliens who use their fantastic powers to infiltrate other species and take them over from within. That's basically what The Avengers turned out to be.
The collection will include all three games, and launch on May 24, according to Japan's Dark Souls site . Although it is not a new entry into the series, the remaster will bring a lot of updates and quality of life changes for the current generation of consoles.


Our Boeotia bathtub set offers a classic solution for all your needs: a faucet with hot and cold water switches and a matching hand held shower. It is a five pieces set, deck mounted, with five hole installation. Ideal for modern bathrooms that still want a touch of the past. They are built with the best materials – the body, handles and spout are made of brass and the valve core is ceramic, for best performance and long lasting life time. It comes complete with accessories and installation instructions.
When I first saw this one, it looked pretty weak to me. The handles seemed rather thin, and with 4 boys in the house, this may not last long. However, our plumber said that this actually looks very good - solid and tough and will last a long good time unless mishandled. So there, quality assurance check. In addition, I really like the design, and the wonderful finish, too. More importantly, everything works great.
After seeing that our old bathtub faucet was leaking, I immediately went online in search of a replacement, and then I came to this site. They had a lot of choices available, but this is the one that I liked the most considering the design and the price. I liked the really simple design, nothing to fancy. Still, the nice finish gives it a clean and elegant look which I like. Everything works very well, too. For its price, it's truly a wonderful deal.

The legal age to purchase or consume alcohol in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is 21. Under Pennsylvania law, it is illegal for anyone under that age to purchase, consume, possess, or transport liquor, malt or brewed beverages. The penalties for a conviction are mandatory fines and loss of driving privileges. These fines and license suspensions increase with each subsequent conviction.
For a first conviction, the operating privileges are suspended for 90 days; for a second conviction, the suspension is for one year; for a third or subsequent conviction, the suspension is for two years. A conviction is defined as any finding of guilt by way of trial or guilty plea, adjudication in juvenile court, or admission into any preadjudication program. The following information details additional statutes and penalties for violations of underage drinking laws.
It is a crime for anyone under the age of 21 to falsely represent himself to be 21 or order to any licensed dealer, distributor, or other person for the purpose of procuring or having furnished to him any liquor or malt or brewed beverages. A first violation of this provision is a summary offense. A second of subsequent violation is a misdemeanor of the third degree.
It is a crime (misdemeanor of the second degree) to manufacture or sell a false identification card that contains a false representation of someone's identity, birth date, or age. It is a crime for anyone under the age of 21 to carry or possess a false identification card. A first violation of this provision is a summary offense. A second violation is a misdemeanor of the third degree. These offenses also involve mandatory driver license suspension.
Each jurisdiction treats these offenses differently. Some counties have set programs that apply to all District Justice Courts. Others leave it to each District Magisterial Judge to develop and implement a program that may avoid the mandatory license suspension and/or fines. A person who is convicted of an underage drinking offense may qualify for a work/school license and may qualify for an expungement of their record upon turning the age of 21.

The assassin walked to the police vehicle, his head held high. His body ached where he had been hit. He longed to rub those spots and his hands twitched in the cuffs. As he walked through the parting in the crowd made by the police, he glanced expectantly into the faces watching him. His face fell.
Oh, Bharat Mata's children, my own brothers, why do you stare at me so cruelly! Alas, don't you know that a sacred thread, hallowed by the knot of the Gayatri mantra, encircles my torso? Yet, for the deliverance of the Hindus, I have carried out a deed which was not my Brahmin dharma but a Kshatriya's. But look! My hands have been manacled by the very Hindus I tried to save!
It's all right. In Kurukshetra, Partha confronted his own family, arrayed in battle against him as far as eye could see. And the old man whom I removed from the earth today was also a Sanatan Hindu like me.
O People of Bharat, do you still not understand? Being a Bharatiya doesn't consist in being a mere Hindu. The vital thing is to be a real Hindu. That is the Hindutva preached by my Guruji. To attain that perfection, Hindus may have to shed the blood of Hindus. Never mind! The alchemy of blood may be necessary for the victory of Dharma. What of it? Dharmotsmat Kuladaivatam! Dharma is our household deity!
A man reached forward and struck him a hard blow. His ear buzzed and went deaf. Darkness filled his eyes.
Brothers! Please do not beat this body! I am ready to bear any pain. But I can't bear it when Hindus torture this body for fulfilling a great mission.
He saw other hands raised to strike him. People were pushing and pulling all around to get near him. His blanket slipped off when someone tried to grab him. Now he stood near the police van, silently imploring a policeman to retrieve the blanket. Someone broke through the police cordon and kicked him with terrible force. His legs faltered and he fell.
Look at the disciples of the prophet of ahimsa! So this is what ahimsa is all about! The old man's corpse is still warm and his disciples plunge into violence!
From where he lay, the assassin could see the police reinforcing the cordon around him. Since he was handcuffed and unable to get up by himself, he curled up on the ground and waited.
Over there lies the old man! And I, here! Strange bedfellows!
O policemen! Why save me? It's these fools who bear the name of Hindus that need saving. Or are these all non-Hindus, perhaps? After all, the old man owed his loyalty to them. No, that cannot be. These people are stupid Hindus victimised by the old man's fraud. Alas! Now we can see why Greeks, Mughals, white men, Christians, Muslims and Buddhists vanquished these creatures. An unconscionable lot! A race bereft of pride! Half-humans without a sense of self-worth. Hey, fools! Emulate this Brahmin who has wielded a gun! Look at this twice-born who has shed blood, and be proud!
When the police pushed the people away, the assassin saw the crowd around the body of the old man. His face filled with contempt.
They weep over that corpse! The body of a man who was their biggest curse when alive! Won't they ever learn the lesson of history?
Mourning the enemy! And handcuffing the saviour! Worshipping the enemy's corpse and attacking the patriot! What a topsy-turvy people!
A policeman helped him up and wrapped the blanket around him again. Before he got into the van, he turned around and stood still for a moment, looking at the people. Then he raised his manacled hands above his head in a salute. Turbulent emotions washed over his face.
So you are taking me to prison! Oh, the Age of Kali is upon us! And the decline of dharma! Listen! I lift up these hands you have manacled for taking up arms for the reinstatement of dharma and declare to the four horizons of this sacred land: The future belongs to me! To real Hindus! Long Live Akhand Bharat! Forget, for heaven's sake, from today that sinful old man lying out there with the rope of Yama wound tight around his neck. At least from now, become aware of who you really are and who I really am.
O Policemen, please permit me to touch the old man's blood just once! Let me use it to mark my forehead with a vijay tilak.
He climbed into the vehicle, exhausted.
O People of Bharat! You do not know how many births I have suffered, filled with agony. Hear how in one of my births I was cut into pieces while still in my mother's womb.
One day as I lay in my mother Diti's womb, I saw Indra entering the womb in his atom-body, wearing the Vajra sword. I howled in horror. My mother's sister Aditi, who had become jealous of her for conceiving me with the sage Kashyap, had sent Indra, who was born to my aunt from Kashyap himself, to murder me.
After ministering to my mother and putting her into a deep sleep, Indra had crept into her womb, making his body as small as an atom.
The first slash of Indra's sword severed my right hand. Where could I, a foetus bound to the womb by the umbilical cord, run to? I began to cry out loudly. Indra cut me into seven pieces and each piece kept screaming. Indra, who was afraid my mother would wake up, whispered repeatedly, "Don't cry, don't cry." Cutting each of the seven pieces into seven more, he made forty-nine pieces of me. Thus it was on me that the first abortion was performed. My mother delivered me in forty-nine pieces. Think of my mother's grief in losing a son who would have been Indra's peer. And think of my terrible destiny — turning my mother's womb into a battlefield!
In another incarnation I was born in Dwarka. There, I became a liquor merchant. I made huge profits by means of adulteration. When the Yadavas set out on the pilgrimage to Prabhasa, obeying the directive of Lord Krishna, I followed them with my jars of liquor. It was a pilgrimage Krishna had specially prescribed for the remission of their sins. The sons and grandsons of Krishna, and Yadava heroes like Balabhadra, Pradyumna, Samba, Ugrasena and Surasena, formed a noisy and unruly procession, under the influence of a liquor called mairekam. In the drink, I had mixed powerful powders prepared from the bodies of venomous creatures, and the essence of cannabis.
My carriage followed the pilgrim party, meeting their demands. The Yadavas vied with each other in merry-making. Soon, arguments broke out. Pushing and shoving and shouting obscenities, they walked on. All of a sudden, weapons were drawn. In no time, the Yadavas, comprising the Andhakas, Vrishnis and Bhojas, formed up and began to battle each other. My suppliers ran about, quenching the thirst of the fighters. The intensity of the conflict increased. The road was filled with bodies, blood pooling about them. When their weapons were broken, the Yadavas attacked each other with the blades of the eraka grass, which were as thick and sharp as swords. Three-fourths of the Yadavas fell dead. Then Balabhadra leapt into the battlefield like a madman and beat the rest to death. He then rushed at me. As I ran to safety, tripping and tottering, wading through blood, I slipped and fell. And died, my throat impaled on a broken spear-head embedded in the mud.

Louis Michel, the Belgian former EU development commissioner and current prominent Liberal MEP has shocked his home nation and its one-time central African subjects by calling King Leopold II, the Congo's colonial master responsible for between 3 million and 10 million deaths, a "visionary hero."
"Leopold II was a true visionary for his time, a hero," he told P-Magazine, a local publication, in an interview on Tuesday. "And even if there were horrible events in the Congo, should we now condemn them?"
In the late 19th Century, the Belgian colony of the Congo Free State, effectively the personal property of Leopold II, became infamous for the enslavement and brutal treatment of the Congolese people.
Estimates of the number killed while the region was plundered for its rich resources vary substantially, but researchers believe between 5 million and 20 million died.
"Leopold II does not deserve these accusations," continued Mr Michel, himself a descendent of the Belgian king and a "Knight, Officer and Commander" in the Order of Leopold, Belgium's highest honour.
"The Belgians built railways, schools and hospitals and boosted economic growth. Leopold turned the Congo into a vast labour camp? Really? In those days it was just the way things were done."
Admitting there were "irregularities," he said: "We can easily be tempted to exaggerate when it comes to the Congo ... I feel instinctively that he was a hero, a hero with ambitions for a small country like Belgium."
"To use the word 'genocide' in relation to the Congo is absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate. And yes, maybe colonisation was domineering and acquiring more power, but at a certain moment, it brought civilisation."
Having left the commission in 2009, the current executive washes its hands of what Mr Michel is now saying as a private individual and has refused to comment on his remarks.
The leader of the Liberals in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, also a Belgian, likewise did not want to comment on the issue.
Mr Michel himself was unavailable for comment.
Belgian politicians and commentators however were appalled at Mr Michel's words. Outgoing centre-right senator Pol Van Den Driessche of the Flemish Christian Democrats said Leopold's Congolese regime was "shameful"
"Of course there is the historical context in which all this happened," he told Het Nieuwsblad, a Belgian daily.. "But a great visionary? Absolutely not. What has happened then was shameful."
"If we measured him against 21st century standards, it is likely that Leopold would be hauled before the International Criminal Court in the Hague."
Looking at Mr Michel's legacy as an EU commissioner, one contact in the aid and development activist community said he: "tended to focus on the Congo and other regions with historic links to Belgium" and that "poverty eradication seemed to not always be at the heart of his work."
Another source noted that Mr Michel delivered an EU consensus on development co-operation in the mid-2,000s, "a very important achievement," but was "not very open to public debate and civil society."
Mr Michel is currently the vice-president of the EU's Joint Parliamentary Assembly with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, the contemporary trade and political association linking Europe with most of its former colonies. Its next meeting will be held in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in December.
His controversial remarks come a week ahead of the visit of Belgium's current king, Albert II, to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, celebrating 60 years of independence from the country. It will be the first such visit in 25 years.
Additionally this week, a group of legal activists has formally requested war-crimes charges be brought against 12 Belgian government officials allegedly responsible for the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first prime minister, a left-winger which the CIA also attempted to murder, according to a US Senate investigation.

History of Corte Madera
At the turn of the century Corte Madera attracted a number of families from San Francisco who came for the summer. Christmas Tree Hill was subdivided into tiny 25′ x 25′ lots for use as tent sites on the weekends. After the 1906 earthquake, many of these tent sites were used to build permanent homes, where some of the tiny cabins remain to this day. Incorporated in 1916, Corte Madera is situated next to Larkspur and they are often referred to as "Twin Cities" due to their proximity and the fact that they share schools and a police department.

Farmers will start agitat...
Farmers will start agitation again: Ultimatum till 31 to government on demands, Mission UP and Uttarakhand will start from February 1
The United Kisan Morcha held a review meeting on Saturday after suspending the agitation.
In the Kundli area of Haryana's Sonipat district, officials of the United Kisan Morcha gathered at the office of the Kisan Morcha. Important meeting of farmers took place. The heads of all 40 jathabandis were present in the meeting.
In the press conference after the meeting, farmer leader Yudhbir Singh said that the promises made by the government to us have been reviewed. The government has not formed any committee. No contact has been made. No action was taken to withdraw the cases of Railways and Delhi. The government has not returned the cases anywhere except in Haryana.
The government has not acted as per the agreement so far. Therefore, United Kisan Morcha will oppose the government on 31 January as Anti-Promises Day across the country. In all cities, effigies of the government will be burnt at the district headquarters in towns. If the government does not agree by February 1, then Mission UP and Uttarakhand will be started.
In the Lakhimpur case, the government has not sacked the minister. The government not taking action on the minister shows that the government is saving him in the affair of vote bank. Our comrades have been put in jails by imposing 302 on it, regarding this it has been decided that Rakesh Tikait will visit Lakhimpur Kheri for three days from the 21st and talk to the officials. If there is no hearing after that, then a front will be organized in Lakhimpur Kheri. Along with this, farmers will cooperate with them in the movement of trade unions 23 24.
On the organizations contesting the elections, he said that the United Kisan Morcha is away from politics. The decision of our comrades is hasty. Those organizations will not stay with the United Kisan Morcha. After four months we will review these organizations, till then they will no longer be part of us.
It is worth noting that the farmers' agitation, which started demanding the repeal of three agricultural laws, went on for more than a year on the borders of Delhi. After the withdrawal of the law, the farmers compromised with the government on some other demands and announced the suspension of the agitation. The farmers had announced that they would analyze the action taken by the government on January 15.

When I saw the image on the monitor, I thought it was a mirror; miraculously, we were wearing the same garments and hairstyle. We even had the same copy of a book*, a Penguin Classic published in the last decade, a reprint of the English translation published in 1964 (the original was published in French in 1958). When she told me to turn to a certain page, I found a poem by the poet** whom I knew intimately and had even written emails to (he is dead) while writing my thesis about him two years ago, unbeknownst to her. The poem was about 'Shade-Haunted Space' and felt in the trilogy of our minds in that moment that we understood how "...you cannot even conceive the horrible inside-outside that real space is." It was the same pinpoint precision of acuity towards the 'roaringness' of space and the little hum that it emits even with all that roaring... I knew that she knew that he knew and somehow she knew he knew, too.
It had been a very harried Monday. My colleague does not keep a datebook so I'm never sure what he remembers - it causes a lot of confusion. I was almost out of breath when I sat down at my desk. The wifi was not so good in my apartment and the frame continued to freeze. We decided to switch to the 4G from our cell phones for a more steady connection. I placed my phone with its little finger-holder hook on the screen of my laptop in front of the camera eye that most sensible people cover with a sticker when not in use. There in front of me was suddenly three frames: the cellphone, the laptop, and the window framing the night sky as a backdrop to it all. In my notes, I wrote 'phone on the Mac in front of the window' and then I drew a little diagram of it and a little eyeball with long eyelashes.
Across from my desk was a mirror resting on the back of a sofa and leaning against the wall. When gazing from my desk chair I could see the top of my forehead and that is all - I'm not sure why I never changed this odd positioning. I couldn't even see my eyes. This mirror would play a major role later in the conversation. We discussed how books can affect our moods immensely and how, before we know it, we don't even realise we're tense or anxious at the world, reflecting the state of a character in the book whose inner world we have immersed ourselves. We have to be careful of our reading diet, we concluded. I told her about a book I had just read that won some prize in France. The author writes about herself writing about the actress who was playing herself while also directing the movie, her only movie. It got great reviews in the 1970s. I sent her an excerpt of the book from The Paris Review in an email after the conversation.
I told her I sometimes didn't know as a writer who was writing who and why should I say anything; what's worth writing about - who am I to say it? Who is me to me and so on and so on - it was much easier to collage a voice into some kind of 'text' pieced together from various sources and semblances. She said she felt similarly but more in the sense that she had no grand statement to say about her work - it was just a kind of commentary, a reflection, and a trying to get out of the way of what was already there. I saw it as a pure fascination with the image and how it is constructed, almost like a house, or more accurately, literally like a house in its construction. This seemed to be the secret she was trying to let us all in on. She told me how she was showing an image on her phone to someone and wanted to show them the backside of the image and she actually turned her phone over to show the backside of the image. "I'm not deceived by the image," she said, "but then I'm just clumsy."
Miraculous! The image is never-ending! Can you hold it in your hand? There is a pinpoint where you can hold it in your hand, if you look lightly enough, if your gaze is clear, if you're willing to inspect it a bit; really looking makes real blunders that you can touch.
I thought about how applying a collage technique to the construction of your world is generative and helps it grow - it makes so many more edges that can meet, more grip, more texture, more surface area for things to accumulate.
The factor is time; time is a comma. Photography is a comma, a hinge towards being (the whisper of the first rumour of being, rumoured to be an echo of something, a description of a photograph that cannot be located like a confused hum.)
Do you know this book about the mysteries of the alphabet?
I concluded at the end (looking like a doctor with a prognosis, she said) that I would write about myself writing about images, like a photographer of words. A possible way to mirror the way she is using photography, letting the image talk like a paragraph. But there is no 'letting' here - it is the work of a very calculated flaneur making subtle experiments under the surface invisible to us passersby.
"Vulgarian work ethic leading to a non-dandy sublime!"*** is the work ethic of the new flaneur who bumbles along the archives, all the while knowing calculation is a pretence for bumbling.
There is a skin to the image, the roughness on which the images sticks, like the unglazed tile, mass produced, unglazed and unfazed, like the tannery in Morocco, a tourist spectacle, a replica actually of how it used to be done, but recreated so that images of the production of realness could be spread around the world.
The interrogation of the image was complete.

Apple Negotiating Deal With Nuance for Speech Recognition in iOS 5?
Friday May 6, 2011 9:41 pm PDT by Eric Slivka
TechCrunch reports that Apple is rumored to be negotiating some sort of deal with Nuance Communications, the speech recognition company behind the Dragon NaturallySpeaking engine that powers a number of popular applications for Mac OS X, iOS, and other platforms.
Apple has been negotiating a deal with Nuance in recent months, we've heard from multiple sources. What does that mean? Well, it could mean an acquisition, but that is looking fairly unlikely at this point, we hear. More likely, it means a partnership that will be vital to both companies and could shape the future of iOS.
The report notes that Nuance's technology is already used to drive personal assistant software from Siri, a company purchased by Apple last year. Apple has also been said to be preparing to bring a substantial integration of Siri's artificial intelligence and voice control capabilities into iOS 5 presumably set for release later this year.
The other option is for Apple to build the technology themselves. And some recent job postings suggest they may be thinking about that. But to get to where Nuance is today it would take a long, long time. Perhaps more importantly, it's well known in the industry that Nuance holds key patents for their technology and is very aggressive in protecting them. Even Apple would have a hard time dancing around this if they did go it alone.
According to the new report, it is unlikely that Apple is seeking a direct acquisition of Nuance, given the company's $6 billion market capitalization and reports that the company is known for driving a hard bargain, including in negotiations with Apple to keep Siri's services alive after the acquisition, negotiations that have reportedly yet to lead to an agreement.
While an acquisition is still a possibility, a more likely scenario seems to be an expansive licensing deal that would provide Apple with the technology it needs at a substantially lower cost than an acquisition while also giving Apple time to build out its own in-house expertise to potentially replace Nuance at some point down the road.

A bit late to the game, Apple?
I'd say so... we figured out a long time ago that (unless you're disabled of course) talking to our computers appeared cool in Star Trek, but not so cool in reality.
itickings
…and people figured out a long time ago that watching videos on the computer appeared cool in movies, but not so cool in reality.
Yet here we are a bunch of years later, Youtube this, stream that, etc. Ridiculous improvements in computer performance, available bandwidth and amount of computers networked changed the game completely.
I would argue that the current state of speech control is flawed not because talking to your computer or device is inherently bad, but because of two things relating to the implementation:
1. Speech recognition accuracy is less than perfect.
2. Computers/devices are too dumb to understand what you intend.
You can control the computer in Star Trek because it rather correctly hears what you say, and in general understands what you MEAN. The second part there is the absolutely hardest one to solve. Still, there both areas are continuously evolving and advancing.
Besides, not even Star Trek uses voice control as the only means of input, there are many many buttons available...
gramirez2012
It just seems strange if your in public screaming at your phone.
Does it? I see/hear people yelling into their phones in public all the time. :mad:
Marzzz
Really we should keep YOU off the road because you are clearly the problem. It's piss poor drivers like yourself that shouldn't be on the road, and that cause all the accidents. Those of us intelligent lifeforms that can drive fine, and recognize when there is plenty of space between other cars on the road and your car to be able to spend two seconds to read a text message aren't the ones driving in accidents. I'm not saying there aren't people who don't know how to drive AND use their cell phones... There are clearly plenty. But just because you aren't able to multitask, doesn't mean some people can't.
Wow, utterly foolish. I hope the worst thing that ever happens to you is a close call, maybe you will learn something without hurting anyone.
Laird Knox
I disagree. I would love for Apple to integrate voice to text capabilities like Android has, where you can speak on any text input screen. This would be particularly useful while driving. I can look at my phone for 2 seconds to read a text message asking "When will you be home?" or something like that. It's a lot more effort to drive and type even a simple response like "15 mins" (not to mention, downright dangerous). If I could select a little button on the text message screen and say "15 minutes," and have it type it for me. That would definitely be useful for me. I currently use the Google app to do that if I want to google something quickly without typing it, but I would much prefer to use my default browser (iCab). We aren't talking about Star Trek here; just some functionality that would help speed things up a little bit.
I would say you have no right being behind the wheel. Forget about typing - "glancing at my phone for 2 seconds" and you have traveled 200 feet at 70 mph.

Friends of Arundel Castle Cricket Club executive secretary James Rufey cannot wait to welcome Sussex for the annual Festival of Cricket tomorrow.
In the first of five consecutive days of cricket, Sussex take on Northamptonshire in a County Championship Division 2 encounter, before Gloucestershire come to town on Sunday in the Natwest T20 Blast (2.30pm).
With Horsham's festival quashed this year, Arundel will provide Sussex with their only action away from Hove in the whole campaign and Rufey is hopeful they can be perfect hosts yet again.
He said: "We are always excited to host Sussex each year. We will offer something unique this season, with Arundel being Sussex's only out-ground games of the summer.
"Hopefully the weather is good for these five days of cricket and we can attract some attractive crowds over the festival's course.
Last year saw a large amount of followers descend of Arundel for the festival with numbers closing in on 20,000 over the five days.
That included a figure of over 7,000 for the T20 clash with Surrey, who boasted Kevin Pietersen in their ranks that day.
Rufey admits that could be tricky to match once again in 2016 but is hopeful for large numbers again this time around.
He added: "I think for last year's T20 game a number of things were in our favour. It was a local derby against Surrey, they had Kevin Pietersen playing and the weather was fantastic.
"This time around we have Gloucestershire coming here for the T20 clash, who have been playing some good cricket so far this season.
This time around, Arundel's schedule has been flipped. Last year T20 action was followed by a County Championship match with Durham.
However, starting tomorrow, a four-day County Championship Division 2 game will be followed by Sunday's showpiece T20 match with Gloucestershire.

Mahindra & Mahindra is all pumped to launch a brand new MPV in the Indian market. Having officially revealed its name as Marazzo and along with it some details, the anticipation is mounting higher ahead of the commercial debut on September 3. It appears that some authorised dealerships across the country have begun receiving bookings for the premium MPV with initial token of Rs. 10,000.
The homegrown automaker has already confirmed that the Marazzo will be offered in both seven- and eight-seat configurations. The Marazzo nomenclature derived from Basque a sub-language of Spanish denotes 'Shark' as the MPV is touted to take plenty of styling influence from the elasmobranch fish known for its feisty character and breathtaking skills under water.
Mahindra has continuously been teasing the Marazzo as the twin-champer projector headlamp, shark-inspired tail lamp, upmarket interior and what was claimed to be industry-first surround cool AC technology and the dashboard have been highlighted in various social media posts.
The range-topping variants of the Mahindra Marazzo will boast seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, multiple airbags, reversing camera and sensor, automatic climate control, premium soft-touch materials, cruise control, driver assistance systems and a slew of other safety equipment will be on offer.
The seven-seat version will have individual captain chairs for the second row and the eight-seater will have a traditional bench setup for the final row. Mahindra has also confirmed that the Marazzo won't replace any model in the domestic lineup, meaning that it will be positioned above the Xylo.
We expect it to be priced aggressively in the middle of upcoming Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Innova Crysta while addressing also customers wanting to own Tata Hexa. It will be powered by a brand new lightweight 1.5-litre diesel four-cylinder engine, which is good enough to produce a maximum power output of 130 hp and 300 Nm. Initially, it is expected to be sold with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.

The Adventures of Nate the Great
By Angel Martin, KVNO News
Omaha, NE – A precocious young boy, otherwise known as "Nate the Great," has stepped out of his book series to solve mysteries at The Rose Theatre in Omaha.
[audio:https://kvnonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/555-Nate-the-Great-Web.mp3]
"Nate the Great," is dressed in a long trench coat and top hat. He stands with his faithful dog, Sludge, and introduces the rest of the characters in The Adventures of Nate the Great. Andy Saladino, who plays Nate, is a teaching artist at The Rose. I caught up with him at a recent run-through rehearsal of the play, which opens Friday.
The Adventures of Nate the Great starts Friday, February 3rd and runs through February 19th at the Rose Theatre in downtown Omaha. (Photo by Angel Martin)
The play is "a mystery…a little creepy at times, but not too scary," Saladino said. "But really quirky and fun…watching Nate kind of use his deduction skills to figure stuff out."
The play is based on a series of children's detective stories that follow the adventures of "Nate the Great."
Acting as seven and eight year olds, the adult cast at The Rose takes the audience on an adventure, solving mysteries, including finding missing art work, prizes for a pet contest and even a missing box.
Kate Morgan is a teaching artist intern at the Rose, who plays Claudia, Nate's forgetful friend. She said working with kids at The Rose helped her prepare for the show.
"It's interesting to look at kids that we see come in," she said. "and notice their mannerisms and notice how they act, and how they walk and what they say… and try to make that translate and come across on stage."

Examining Viruses
Featured Image ©Edmond Alexander And Cynthia Turner | Alexander & Turner, Inc.
Viruses are small parasites which must infect cells to trigger re-production as they are incapable of reproducing alone. Although microscopic, they can present powerful and devastating effects.
Approximately 5000 different viruses have been described in detail at the current time, although it is known that there are millions of distinct types.
Research and detailed depictions of individual viruses and their viral structure have proven to be a powerful tool to further our understanding of these parasitic forms.
Here are a few examinations of viruses, as created by the Medical Illustration Sourcebook artists:

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting primarily the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection is often asymptomatic, but chronic infection can lead to scarring of the liver and ultimately to cirrhosis, which is generally apparent after many years.

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a member of the Rhabdoviridae family of which Rabies is one. The virus is a single molecule of negative-sense RNA that encodes a glycoprotein, large protein, phosphoprotein, matrix protein, and nucleoprotein. The virus shape has a unique bullet shape.

New video testimonial series: "I'm A Proud Native American, And Elizabeth Warren Does Not Represent Me"
Natives United Against Warren has now joined Cherokees Demand Truth from Elizabeth Warren in a collaborative effort to show that Elizabeth Warren does not represent us. This project will feature a series of video clips of real Natives sharing their thoughts on Elizabeth Warren.
All too often, mainstream American culture at large and the sphere of academia demonstrate a predisposition to regard Native Americans as one broad homogenous people rather than as discrete yet historically interrelated communities. Consequently, Professor Warren's abject dishonesty vis-a-vis her extended practice of ethnic misappropriation deleteriously impacts the Cherokees, obviously, but also the numerous other tribes encompassed under the umbrella of "Native" distinction.
The precedent the Professor has established via the notions she has disseminated, in which race and heritage are abstract constructs void of custom and assumed at will, is alarming in the extreme. Similarly, her refusal to engage with Native media outlets or activitsts like Twila Barnes reflects a moral bankruptcy of potentially dangerous repercussive proportions should she succeed in her bid for Senate.
Per the barometer for tribal affiliation that Professor Warren herself has delineated in her few public statements on the subject, anyone who boasts high cheekbones "like all the Indians do," or who spontaneously remembers that their parents eloped during the Depression, is invited to contribute a video message as long as they specify as much in their submission.
I'm a proud American and she does not represent me either.
I get so tired of this hyphenated crap from ALL people.
…and she does not represent me either.
As noble as this protest effort is, it will go for naught. Just like her mentor and co-traveler, Barack Obama, they use people as just rungs on the ladder of their ascent to power.
Sadly, the Cherokee were just a means to an end. Lizzie stepped on that rung to get into the northeastern, liberal educational establishment. Now, they are no longer needed, as forgotten as last week's to-do list.
Meanwhile, the Indians are still stuck where they were, dealing with someone who unabashedly stole a blood identity for personal gain, while Lizzie Warren climbs the next rung to the Senate.
And unlike white exploiters of yesteryear, they didn't even get a stinkin' blanket, a bottle of cheap whiskey or any beads.
A pox on you, Lizzie. And on all your house.
The really outrageous thing about this flap has not, in my opinion, been discussed sufficiently. It's that if she were 1/32 Cherokee that would count, she would then be able to claim American Indian heritage.
One half I can understand; one quarter maybe. But if ethnic heritage were alcohol, 1/32 would come close to near beer.
For example, I am 1/32 Jamaican and 31/32 European. What does that mean? It means that I am white.
Never in my wildest imaginings did it occur to me to check off "Black" on forms (or to advertise myself as a "Person of Color" in minority faculty hiring directories). Until this EW scheme showed up in the news, it never even occurred to me that I could have "played that angle" and gotten myself hired as a black person.
But then again, I have a sense of shame – so I guess that put me out of the running for those top university research jobs.
I wonder if I could pay Ancestry.com to create an ancestry for me. I'd like to be related to Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway.
That's it, Jacobson. You are sooo totally off her Christmas card list now.
Identity fraud is the fastest growing criminal activity. It is an insidious form of progressive involuntary exploitation… and denigration of ethnic heritage.
I'm a proud Native American, and a white, and I represent myself.
You know… If I were to be subjected to the same, (justifiable), ridicule and scorn that Liz has been, I's be hiding out of sight under a large rock.
Some people just have no shame. Often they are liberal democrats.
Common sense tells me that she hasn't a chance in hell of getting elected. However, all bets are off when you consider the dumbed down MA electorate..
What self-respecting large rock would allow her to crawl beneath it?
Good point… I profusely apologize to all self respecting rocks out there.
