45 arrested, dozens of cars and aircrafts seized in 'biggest ever' police sting against Brazilian-European drug ring
Joe Middleton
Europol law enforcement coordinating a major international drugs bust (Europol)
A major international drugs bust targeting a trafficking network between Brazil and Europe has led to 45 arrests and more than 70 luxury vehicles seized.
The European policy agency, Europol, said that as part of the investigation 52 tonnes of cocaine were seized by authorities.
The international sting was led by the Portuguese, Belgian and Brazilian authorities, and involved thousands of police officers carrying out coordinated raids on 179 homes.
Authorities arrested 38 people in Brazil, 4 in Belgium, 2 in Dubai and 1 in Spain.
They also seized 70 luxury vehicles in Brazil, Belgium and Spain. And 37 aircraft in Brazil.
Also recovered was €12 million (£10.7m) in cash seized in Portugal, €300 000 (£269,000( in cash seized in Belgium and US$169 000 (£127,000) in cash seized in Brazil.
Financial assets of ten people were also frozen in Spain and 163 homes were confiscated.
According to Europol, the crime syndicate had direct contact with drug cartels in Brazil and wider South America, who would ship containers of cocaine to European ports.
The drug trafficking network was responsible the importation of more 45 tonnes of cocaine into Europe annually, according to the agency.
Europol's Deputy Director Wil van Gemert said: "This operation highlights the complex structure and vast reach of Brazilian organised crime groups in Europe.
"The scale of the challenge faced today by police worldwide calls for a coordinated approach to tackle the drug trade across continents.
"The commitment of our partner countries to work via Europol underpinned the success of this operation and serves as a continued global call to action."

Hawaiian son wins over Orange County palates.
: We watched Hawaiian super-chef Roy Yamaguchi build his restaurant empire, and we admit we were worried that the quality of his cuisine might slip from fine dining to franchise, but we have been reassured. Roy's of Newport Beach is as good as ever. The menu, overseen by chef John Vega, includes tempura Alaskan black cod with cilantro citrus sauce, and salt-crusted rib-eye in a roasted peppercorn-shoyu brandy sauce. Little asterisks call guests' attention to classic dishes such as the Szechuan baby-back ribs, blackened ahi and melting hot chocolate soufflé. The three-course menu is the best way to sample all of the classics, and it's also a good bargain. The restaurant ramped up its already impressive offerings by installing a sushi bar with some unique "Yamaguchi sushi" touches. Among the brief dessert lineup, which is filled with island-like creations, is a buttery pineapple upside-down cake. Specialty drinks and after-dinner coffees cater to creative cocktailers --- don't miss the Hawaiian martini. Varietals from Roy's proprietary label are options on the interesting wine list.

Boko Haram and cultural taboos in the Arab world?
What is the connection between Boko Haram in Nigeria and the culture of religious prohibition in our Arab countries?
What is it about women that terrifies extremists, fanatics, and parochial people around the world?
Why does Boko Haram find the education of women a frightening prospect? Why would they prefer women to be weak, submissive, ignorant, and illiterate?
If knowledge is a heritage shared by humankind, is there such a thing as a Western curriculum and an Eastern one? And if Western education is haram — religiously forbidden — as the extremist Islamist group maintains, why does this prohibition apply only to girls and not to boys?
What does Boko Haram in Nigeria have in common with the tyrannical sentences handed out to women in Sudan?
What they have in common is not simply an anti-women stance: it is a stance against anything that liberates human beings from corruption, ignorance, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness — at the head of which is their position against women.
When the extremist Islamist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the mid-April kidnapping of over 200 schoolgirls — 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped from the town of Chibok in Nigeria's northeast state of Borno, a number of whom managed to escape — they announced that they would become bush wives. They threatened to sell the girls and coerce them into marriage: "We will sell the girls according to God's law" — justifying their actions by claiming that they are combating Western education in Nigerian schools because it goes against the teachings of Islam!
If Western education curricula, as they claim, are against the teachings of Islam — "Western education must stop; the girls must leave school and get married" — are the kidnapping of girls, selling them in markets, treating them like slaves, and coercing them into marriage among the teachings of Islam?! Is burning an entire village — after kidnapping the schoolgirls — also among Islam's teachings? Or is it that killing is a kind of appetite, a criminal lust: "I love to kill whomever God tells me to, just as I enjoy killing chickens and sheep"?!
What does Boko Haram have in common with the tyrannical sentences handed out to women in Sudan?
There is a connection between the mentality of the Boko Haram group and that of the judges in the criminal court of the Khartoum district of Haj Yousef, who issued the death sentence to Mariam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, a 27-year-old doctor. Born in Darfour, Mariam was raised by her Ethiopian Orthodox mother after being abandoned by her Muslim father as a child. Mariam — who is married with one son, and in her 8th month of pregnancy with a second child — has been sentenced to 100 lashes of the whip for the charge of fornication, and death by hanging for the charge of apostasy.
Since Mariam was abandoned by her father from an early age, how can she be expected to uphold his religion, which she knows nothing about? If she has chosen the Christian faith — owing to her mother's religion, her husband's religion, and her own free will — how can she be punished for renouncing a faith that she never knew to begin with?
When asked whether she is an apostate, Dr. Mariam replied: "I'm a Christian; I did not desert anything"; "I have never been Muslim."
The judge in the Haj Yousef criminal court, who issued the verdict according to Article 126 of the 1991 Penal Code, did not pay heed to the fact that this article is in contravention to the 2005 Sudanese constitution, in particular Article 27 of the same constitution, which is also in accordance with Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and Article 8 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. This was confirmed by the Sudanese attorney Nabil Adib, who added that the judge who implemented Article 126 was going against the constitution, as "Article 48 requires the judge to uphold the constitution after applying conflicting laws."
The mentality of religious prohibition is still powerfully present across the Arab world.
This is why murders of women in Palestine continue, the numbers rising in recent years (from 5 cases in 2004 to 13 cases in 2012, 26 cases in 2013, and 15 cases in the first five months of 2014).
Despite the issuance of a presidential decree amending Article 98 of the Penal Code, in order to annul the possibility of a diminished sentence in so-called 'honor' crimes, it is still paramount to fight against this culture of prohibition and all of its manifestations: in the media, in educational curricula, and in cultural forums, and to open ourselves up to different human cultures, in order to eradicate this phenomenon from its very roots.
To the Administration of Future Schools in Ramallah:
How are we to understand the termination of the services of a Science teacher and the accusation leveled at her of 'deviating from the curriculum' when she explained Darwin's theory to her students? The theory is, in fact, part of the Cambridge curriculum approved by the school (Future Schools are accredited by the University of Cambridge as an international school, offering the internationally recognized IGCSE curriculum and the Cambridge GCE).
If this curriculum goes against ideological and religious convictions, why did the Future Schools adopt it in the first place?
And what is the problem with studying all theories of human science, including Darwinism, whether or not they are part of the curriculum?
Isn't this the very same mentality of prohibition, insularity, and conservatism in the age of the information revolution, scientific discoveries, and space exploration?
How are we to understand the unjust measures taken against the teacher after she was fired, when she was prevented by the administration from entering the school at the end of the academic year to attend a student activity that her own son was involved in?
Backing from an error of one's ways is a virtue.
We hope that the administration will recant its arbitrary decision, apologize to the teacher, and rehabilitate this woman who was faithful to her students and to learning, and was unfairly terminated — so that the Future Schools will hold true to its philosophy of offering a distinctive brand of education that helps students form critical thinking skills and remain a beacon of enlightened pedagogy.
We must raise our voices high, individuals and institutions, women and men, against the violence perpetrated against women.
Let us stand in solidarity for women in Nigeria;
Let us stand in solidarity for women in Sudan;
Let us stand in solidarity for women in Palestine.

Q: A question about the relative size of bases to which numbers represented by polynomials are pseudoprime In Theorem 2 of their paper, "Pseudoprime values of the Fibonacci sequence, polynomials and the Euler function", Indagationes Mathematicae, Volume 17, Issue 4, pp. 611--625, Luca and Shparlinski show that for a fixed polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and fixed base $a>1$, the number of $1\leq n \leq x$ for which $f(n)$ is pseudoprime to the base $a$ is
$$
\ll x\frac{\log \log x}{\log x}.
$$
Is there a lower bound that would allow one to tell whether, for any $f$, any $a>1$ is a base to which infinitely many $f(n)$ are pseudoprime? (If $f(n)=n$ there is a lower bound due to Pomerance.) In the absence of such a lower bound, is there any guide as to how small one may take $a$ relative to $n$, and hence $f(n)$, for general $f$?
If $f$ is a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_r(n)$, $r$ an odd prime, and the base $a$ is allowed to vary, i.e., take $a=n$ for $n$ in some congruence class, then a result of Cipolla, mentioned here, gives that
$$
n^{\Phi_r(n)-1} \equiv 1 \bmod \Phi_r(n)
$$
provided $n$ is in the right congruence classes. Assuming Bateman-Horn, one then has examples of $a$ of size $n$ to which $f(n)=\Phi_r(n)$ are pseudoprime. Are there any explicit constructions that can give $a=o(n)$ for an arbitrary $f$?
Thank you!

From the end of war in the West to getting high with Hitler, here are this week's top picks in imperial and global history.
Guess What? As Of Today, The Western Hemisphere Has No Wars
Greg Myre
Fidel Castro and his rag-tag band of fighters assembled on the shores of Mexico, stealthily navigated their overcrowded boat to southeastern Cuba, and unleashed a 1956 insurgency that rocked all of Latin America. That temblor lasted 60 years and ended, more or less, on Monday. Castro seized power in 1959, and his brother Raul still rules Cuba today. The revolution washed over the entire region, inspiring leftist insurgencies throughout Latin America for decades until the final one effectively came to a close as the Colombian government and the FARC rebels signed a peace deal in the Colombian coastal city of Cartagena.
"Long live Colombia, long live peace," the crowd chanted as Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and rebel leader Rodrigo Londono, both dressed in all white, shook hands on Monday evening. The deal brings peace to a country that has endured more than a half-century of civil war. Yet widely overlooked is the far more sweeping notion that it brings down the curtain on six decades of nonstop conflicts in Latin America. [continue reading]
Race, Colonialism, and the Netherlands' Golden Coach
Timothy W. Ryback
Every year since 1903, on the third Tuesday of September, the Golden Coach—Gouden Koets—has carried the reigning monarchs of the House of Orange from a royal palace to the Dutch parliament for a "throne speech," an annual assessment of the state of the kingdom. Thousands of jubilant subjects gather to watch the horse-drawn carriage clatter along the leafy streets of The Hague and to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. It is known asPrinsjesdag, the day of the little prince.
Last September, the Golden Coach, drawn by a team of eight horses and fitted with the full regalia of empire—crests, murals, gold-gilt curlicues—had a headlong collision with the twenty-first century. On September 5th, two weeks before the annual carriage ride, several dozen protesters gathered on Museum Square, in Amsterdam, to denounce the carriage itself. The Golden Coach, which dates to 1898, has on its left flank a triptych painted by the decorative artist Nicolaas van der Waay, called "Homage from the Colonies." The two outer panels show half-naked black men shouldering massive bales and satchels. The central image is of a statuesque woman seated on a throne, with two black figures in supplication before her. One kneels in reverence, hands clasped and head bowed as if in prayer. The other prostrates himself, back bent, head lowered, with his right arm outstretched over clusters of bananas and other produce offered as homage to the allegorical queen. It is an appalling sight.

"The Battle of Algiers" at 50: From 1960s Radicalism to the Classrooms of West Point
Madeleine Doby
LARB
THIS MONTH The Battle of Algiers turns 50. But Gillo Pontecorvo's acclaimed movie about the Algerian people's fight for liberation from French colonialism shows little sign of aging. Often described as a "classic" that has "stood the test of time," the film has been acknowledged as an influence on everyone from the Black Panthers and the Red Army Faction to the military juntas of the Southern Cone. It may, however, have had the greatest impact in the United States, where it has appealed both to scholars of colonial and postcolonial history, such as myself, and to members of the military and defense community.
A screening of the film at the Pentagon in August 2003 unleashed a small media storm, as journalists reacted with skepticism and scorn: was the Bush administration at such a loss in Iraq that it needed to draw lessons from a 40-year-old Italian movie? "It seems far too late for Mr. Bush to begin studying about counterinsurgency now that Iraq has cratered into civil war," opined Maureen Dowd. "Can't someone get the president a copy of Gone With the Wind?" [continue reading]
Historian EP Thompson denounced Communist party chiefs, files show
Ian Cobain
EP Thompson, one of the most influential historians of the 20th century, wrote an impassioned denunciation of the leadership of the British Communist party at the height of the cold war, but few outside MI5 knew anything about it after the agency intercepted the letter. The party's leaders, Thompson said, were despotic and untrustworthy, and would sweep away long-cherished political freedoms if they ever achieved power.
Thompson, himself a Communist party member at the time, wrote the letter in 1956, shortly after the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave a speech in which, for the first time, he criticised Joseph Stalin, who had died three years earlier. A copy of the letter lies within MI5's files on Thompson, five of which have been declassified and transferred to the National Archives at Kew, in south-west London. [continue reading]
Activating the Past
Leslie James
The Critique
I begin with two recent interrogations on two poles of the African continent. The first materialised on the pristinely repurposed white walls of an old factory building in the district of Maboneng, Johannesburg, on June 10, 2016. Pasted onto a piece of cardboard and hanging on the wall was a photograph of Mohammed Ali, arm stretched across his powerful frame in the upward swing that had just knocked Sonny Liston to the mat and won him the heavy-weight title. Scrawled in red magic marker across the photograph was the question: "Does reactivating the past help us to change the now"?
Was mourning the death of Ali a simple act of respect, a collective ritual of tribute to a great man? Or could the re-entry of Ali's image and message actually serve as an active force in present struggle? Created as part of two weeks of "Emergency Art",[1] where artists produced pieces on a daily basis that responded to immediate issues, Thierry Colonel Geoffroy's focus upon the global mourning of Ali's death on 3 June, 2016, highlights several resilient aspects of African contemporary life, including: the continuing connection between the diaspora and Africa, the uses and abuses of physical force, and the significance of history in the present conjuncture. What did it mean, in June 2016, for people to be confronted with this image and to assess the life and legacy of this strong, proud, determined black man who defied every attempt to rein him in – both inside and outside the boxing ring?

High Hitler: how Nazi drug abuse steered the course of history
Rachel Cooke
The German writer Norman Ohler lives on the top floor of a 19th-century apartment building on the south bank of the river Spree in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Visiting him there is a vertiginous experience. For one thing, he works – and likes to entertain visitors – in what he calls his "writing tower", a flimsy-seeming, glass-walled turret perched right on the very edge of the roof. (Look down, if you dare, and you will see his little boat moored far below.) For another, there is the fact that from this vantage point it is possible to discern two Berlins, one thrusting and breezy, the other spectral and grey. To our left, busy with traffic, is the Oberbaum Bridge, where there was once a cold war checkpoint, and beyond it the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall, its doleful length rudely interrupted by the block of luxury flats that went up in 2013. As for the large building immediately opposite, these days it's the home of Universal Music. Not so very long ago, however, it was the GDR's egg storage facility.
Does all this press on Ohler as he sits at his desk, the light bouncing off the screen of his laptop? Is it ghostly sometimes? "Yes, it is strange," he says, smiling at my giddiness. But then he has long believed in a certain kind of time travel. "I remember the 90s. The wall had just come down, and I was experimenting with party drugs like ecstasy and LSD. The techno scene had started up, and there were all these empty buildings in the east where the youth [from east and west] would meet for the first time. They were hardcore, some of those guys from the east – they didn't understand foreigners at all – and the ecstasy helped them to lose some of their hatred and suspicion. Sometimes, then, you could step into a room, and you could just see the past. Of course, it's not like that now. I don't take drugs any more. But I can remember it, and maybe that was why I was able to write this book." [continue reading]

Below is an essay on "Australian Claw" from Anti Essays, your source for research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
In Alphapharm the Court was faced with a complex factual scenario, appearing to challenge a longstanding principle of contract law from the authority L'Estrange v F Graucob. The following case analysis will discuss the prominent decisions of the Court emphasising its bearing in legal and commercial contexts.
The facts regard flu inoculations, which were damaged while being transported by Toll between its warehouse and Alphapharm's customers. The dispute which arose concerned which party would be held liable for the damage. It is important to note Alphapharm dealt indirectly with Toll through a third party, Richard Thomson, who signed an acceptance to Freight Rates and an "Application for Credit" on Alphapharm's behalf. The reverse side of the application contained 15 "Conditions of Contract", excluding and indemnifying Toll for any damages caused to the goods. Richard Thomson neglected to read these conditions.
The High Court focused primarily on whether the exclusion clauses formed part of the contract between Toll and Alphapharm, known as the 'terms of contract issue'.
In appeal decisions rationes can come only from those legal issues that were in contention. The following rationes were the reason for deciding this case. Firstly 'where there is no suggestion of vitiation, and no claim for equitable or statutory relief, a person who signs a document known to contain contractual terms, and affect legal relations, is bound by those terms, and it is immaterial that the person has not read the document'. Secondly, the Court decided that the meaning of contractual terms should be judged by 'what a reasonable person would have understood them to mean' by considering the text but also the surrounding circumstances.

@simonw Also, "inventing" can sound a bit like "I've got a great idea for a website!", as opposed to actually making the thing. Depending on context I'd someone add "running" - "creating and running" - because that's a whole other thing.
@jazzhistorypod I love the show, and this is fine :) You, and we, are in this for the long haul. There'll be bumps in the road. Try not to let it get to you, and we'll be here whenever you have the time to return in whatever manner works for you.
@simonw I often use "creating" as it's vague enough to cover several practices. Or "designing and building", which sounds a little more specific but, together, it's nicely broad.


New Jersey law is tough on crime. The criminal defense attorneys at Schibell & Mennie, LLC are just as tough when it comes to criminal defense.
Whether you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or notified you are under criminal investigation, you need to act quickly. When it comes to your criminal defense, time is not on your side.
Being charged with a crime puts your entire life on hold. Understandably, many people are tempted to accept a plea bargain or simply enter a guilty plea just to get it all over with and move on with their lives.
The problem with this approach is that you don't get to just "make it all go away" when you plead guilty to an offense or accept a plea deal from a prosecutor.
In many cases, people fail to truly understand the consequences of entering a guilty plea or working out a deal with the prosecution. This is why it's absolutely critical to get an experienced, aggressive criminal lawyer working on your case as swiftly as possible.
We will assess your case and all possible defense strategies, and we will partner with you to build a criminal defense that is effective and time-efficient. You want to get back to living your life. We will help you achieve that goal.
Our lawyers will begin working for you the moment you call. We are available 24/7 to answer your questions, provide guidance, and lend our support when you need it. Don't spend another minute worrying about what comes next.

Emerging tospoviruses cause significant yield losses and quality reduction in vegetables, ornamentals, and legumes throughout the world. So far, eight tospoviruses were reported in China. Tomato fruits displaying necrotic and concentric ringspot symptoms were found in Guizhou province of southwest China.
ELISA experiments showed that crude saps of the diseased tomato fruit samples reacted with antiserum against Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV). Electron microscopy detected presence of quasi-spherical, enveloped particles of 80–100 nm in such saps. The putative virus isolate was designated 2009-GZT. Mechanical back-inoculation showed that 2009-GZT could infect systemically some solanaceous crop and non-crop plants including Capiscum annuum, Datura stramonium, Nicotiana benthamiana, N. rustica, N. tabacum and Solanum lycopersicum. The 3012 nt full-length sequence of 2009-GZT S RNA shared 68.2% nt identity with that of Calla lily chlorotic spot virus (CCSV), the highest among all compared viruses. This RNA was predicted to encode a non-structural protein (NSs) (459 aa, 51.7 kDa) and a nucleocapsid protein (N) (278 aa, 30.3 kDa). The N protein shared 85.8% amino acid identity with that of CCSV. The NSs protein shared 82.7% amino acid identity with that of Tomato zonate spot virus(TZSV).
Our results indicate that the isolate 2009-GZT is a new species of Tospovirus, which is named Tomato necrotic spot virus (TNSV). This finding suggests that a detailed survey in China is warranted to further understand the occurrence and distribution of tospoviruses.
Thrips-transmitted tospoviruses cause significant economic losses in tomato, chilli and many other important crops worldwide . At least 13 thrips species have been identified as vectors . Tospoviruses are quasi-spherical, enveloped particles of 80–120 nm in diameter. A tospoviral genome consists of three negative or ambisense ssRNAs designated S, M and L. The S RNA encodes a nucleocapsid protein (N) in viral-complementary sense orientation and the non-structural protein (NSs) in viral sense orientation . NSs acts as a gene-silencing suppressor . The M RNA encodes a non-structural protein (NSm), in the sense orientation, that is involved in cell-to-cell movement and a glycoprotein precursor in complementary sense orientation . The L RNA encodes an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase protein (RdRp) in complementary sense orientation .
Among the more than 20 Tospoviruses reported so far -, 8 were found in China. These 8 species include Calla lily chlorotic spot virus (CCSV) , Capiscum chlorosis virus (CaCV)  , Groundnut yellow spot virus (GYSV) , Hippeastrum chlorotic ringspot virus (HCRV) , Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) , Tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) , Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)  and Watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) . In 2009, a new tomato disease causing black necrotic and concentric ringspot symptoms on tomato fruits was found in Wengan County, Guizhou province of China. In this study, we identified a new Tospovirus species, provisionally named Tomato necrotic spot virus (TNSV), as the causal agent of this tomato disease.
A virus (isolate 2009-GZT) was isolated from naturally infected tomato fruits exhibiting necrotic and concentric ring spots in Wengan County, Guizhou province, China in 2009. The virus was maintained in systemic hosts Nicotiana benthamiana and N. rustica and in local lesion host Chenopodium quinoa by mechanical inoculation as described previously .
TZSV-specific antiserum (produced in our laboratory) and ELISA kits for detection of GRSV/TCSV, INSV, IYSV, and TSWV (Agdia, Elkhart, Indiana, USA) were used in ELISA to test saps collected from symptomatic tomato fruits and plants inoculated with isolate 2009-GZT.
Crude plant saps, extracted from natural symptomatic tomato fruits and from plant leaves mechanically inoculated with isolate 2009-GZT, were stained with 2% Ammonium Molybdate for electron microscopy as previously described .
Total RNA was extracted from symptomatic tomato fruits using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The universal primer pairs (TospS-3 W:GC(a/t)GTTCCAGGGTT(a/g)CT(t/c/g)TC, and Tosp-3: AGAGCAATCGAGGCGCTAATAA) designed based on the 3ʹ-end sequences of S RNAs of the members of Watermelon silver mottle virus (WSMoV) were used to obtain the 3ʹ-end sequence of about 700 nt of 2009-GZT. The cDNA was synthesized using AMV reverse transcriptase (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). The primer pairs J13 and UHP were used to amplify the NSs and N genes following the protocols described previously ,. The RT-PCR products were purified with UNIQ-10 (Sangon, Shanghai, China) and then cloned into pGEM-T Easy (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The recombinant clones were sequenced. Based on these sequences, the specific primers (GZ-S1: GTTCAGGACCACCACAAAGGGAT, and GZ-S6R: GCAATCTCTCTGAACAAGTA) were designed to amplify the remaining sequence of S RNA.
The complete sequence of 2009-GZT S RNA was assembled and analyzed with the aid of DNAMAN version 5.0 (Lynnon Biosoft, QC, Canada). Phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbor-joining method with 1000 bootstrap replications in MEGA 6.0 . The sequences used for comparison were obtained from the GenBank database: NC_018071(Bean necrotic mosaic virus, BeNMV), NC_008301 (Capsicum chlorosis virus, CaCV), AY867502 (Calla lily chlorotic spot virus, CCSV), NC_003619 (Groundnut bud necrosis virus, GBNV), AF080526 (Groundnut chlorotic fan-spot virus, GCFSV), L12048 (Groundnut ringspot virus, GRSV), AF013994 (Groundnut yellow spot virus, GYSV), KC290943 (Hippeastrum chlorotic ringspot virus, HCRV), NC_003624 (Impatiens necrotic spot virus, INSV), AF001387 (Iris yellow spot virus, IYSV), EU275149 (Melon severe mosaic virus, MSMV), AB038343 (Melon yellow spot virus, MYSV), KF383956(Pepper chlorotic spot virus, PCSV), EF445397 (Polygonum ringspot virus, PolRSV), HQ728387 (Soybean vein necrosis associated virus, SVNaV), NC_002051(Tomato spotted wilt virus, TSWV), AY686718 (Tomato yellow ring virus, TYRV), NC_010489 (Tomato zonate spot virus, TZSV), EU249351 (Watermelon bud necrosis virus, WBNV), NC_003843 (Watermelon silver mottle virus, WSMoV) for S RNAs; GQ478668 (Alstroemeria necrotic streak virus, AlNSV), AF067068 (Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus, CSNV), S54325 (Tomato chlorotic spot virus, TCSV), FJ946835 (Tomato necrotic ringspot virus, TNRV), and AF067069 (Zucchini lethal chlorosis virus, ZLCV) for N genes.
Tomato fruit samples showing necrotic ringspot and concentric ringspot symptoms were collected from Wengan County, Guizhou province, China in 2009 (Figure 1A). These samples were tested by ELISA with antisera against GRSV/TCSV, INSV, IYSV, TSWV, and TZSV, respectively. The symptomatic samples reacted with the antiserum against TZSV N protein. The virus isolate, 2009-GZT, was obtained via three consecutive single lesion transfer in C. quinoa and in systemically infected N. rustica after mechanical inoculation. Further infection studies were used to determine the experimental host range of 2009-GZT. Systemic infection was observed in C. annuum, D. stramonium, N. benthamiana, N. debneyi, N. rustica, N. tabacum and S. lycopersicum, with the infected plants showing leaf chlorosis, necrosis, ringspot and/or fruit deformation. Local lesion infection was found in C. amaranticolor, C. quinoa and N. glutinosa. The virus did not infect Cucumis sativus (Table 1). ELISA showed that samples from all infected plants reacted positively with the TZSV-antiserum, but did not react with GRSV/TCSV, INSV, IYSV and TSWV antisera.

Roughly spherical and enveloped virions of 80–100 nm in diameter, typical of tospoviruses, were observed in the saps collected from 2009-GZT-infected N. tabacum var Honghuadajinyuan by electron microscopy (Figure 1B).
The complete nucleotide sequence of the 2009-GZT S RNA contained 3012 nt (accession no. KM355773). It had NSs and N open reading frames (ORFs) in an ambisense orientation, separated by a 670 nt intergenic region (IGR) with an AU content of 72.9%. The 1380 nt NSs ORF, from nt 67 to 1446 of the viral RNA (vRNA) strand, potentially encoded a protein of 459 amino acids. The 828 nt N ORF, from nt 2112 to 2945 of the viral complementary RNA strand, potentially encoded a protein of 276 amino acids. The predicted molecular masses of NSs and N proteins were 51.6 kDa and 30.2 kDa, respectively. The 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions were 66 and 68 nt long, respectively.
The 2009-GZT S RNA sequence shared the highest (68.2%) and lowest (28.9%) nucleotide identities with those of CCSV and GYSV, respectively. The N gene and protein shared higher nucleotide (60.2-76.3%) and amino acid (69.9-85.8%), respectively, sequence identities with those of the WSMoV serogroup (WSMoV, CaCV, GBNV, WBNV, TZSV and CCSV) than with those of the IYSV serogroup (IYSV, TYSV, HCRV and PolRSV) (53.5-55.7% nucleotide and 46.1-48.9% amino acid identities). It shared relatively low nucleotide (36.1-45.3%) and amino acid (16.4-36.1%) identities with those of GYSV, GCFSV, INSV, and those of the TSWV serogroup members (Table 2).
The NSs gene shared relatively higher identities (58–76.3% nucleotide and 61.6-80.8% amino acid) with those of the WSMoV serogroup than those of the other tospoviruses (Table 2). The S RNA IGR sequence shared identities (40.3%-52.3%) with those of the other tospoviruses. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the 2009-GZT N and NSs proteins were closely related to those of CCSV and TZSV, thereby clustered into the WSMoV serogroup (Figure 2).
Phylogenetic analyses of Tospoviruses based on amino acid sequences of the nucleocapsid (N) protein (A) and the non-structural (NSs) protein (B). The analyses were conducted using MEGA6.0 software. Bootstrap values on the branches represent the percentage of 1,000 bootstrap replicates.
Although 2009-GZT was originally isolated from tomato, it could infect other solanaceous species. The viral symptoms in those host plants were similar to those described for other tospoviruses such as TSWV, TZSV and HCRV. The virion morphology, ELISA results, and S RNA sequence characteristics indicate that isolate 2009-GZT is a tospovirus. The S RNA sequence divergence between 2009-GZT and the other tospoviruses is at the inter-species level (Table 2 and Figure 2) . Thus, we propose 2009-GZT as a new species of Tospovirus with a provisional name Tomato necrotic spot virus (TNSV). During the field survey, Thrips tabaci and T. palmi were found in tomato fields and the surrounding weeds. These two thrips species may represent potential vectors of TNSV.
Infection by tospoviruses has emerged as an important constraint to the productivity and quality of crops in many regions of the world ,,. Since 1980's, emergence and geographic expansion of new variants of known tospoviruses and completely new tospoviruses have been occurring in many regions of China, including Beijing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hebei, Shandong, Sichuan and Yunnan ,,,,. This is first report of occurrence of tospovirus disease in Guizhou province. While emergence of tospovirus diseases is a multifactorial process (including virus, vector, host, environment, and human behavior) and remains poorly understood, presence of tospoviruses-transmitting thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis, F. intonsa, T. palmi, and T. tabaci)  and large scale plantation of tospovirus-susceptible crops (tomato, chilli and tobacco) suggest potential occurrence of tospoviral diseases in other regions of China. So, a more detailed tospovirus survey in China is needed to understand the occurrence and distribution of tospoviruses and to develop measures preventing the epidemic of tospovirus diseases.

He Is Risen!
Pastor Chuck's Message
He Is Risen Indeed!!
"Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So, she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"
So, Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)" John 20:1-9
A lot has happened on the world stage since the time of Christ, over 2000 years ago, but, if we are intellectually honest, nothing, literally nothing, in the history of the world has ever compared to, nor surpassed the pure magnitude and meaning of what happened in the Spring of the year 33 AD – with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living and Almighty God and the Savior of the world. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single most important event in human history and has done more to change the world than any religion, empire, invention, election, political party, political power or social movement to ever make its presence known in the world. The miracle of Jesus' resurrection stands alone - Jesus was dead, but God raised him to life!
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very heart of Christianity. If there is no resurrection, there is no Christianity. The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:14-19, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is our faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those who also have fallen asleep [died] in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."
This is a vitally important issue. Why? Because if Jesus did rise from the dead, His resurrection validated who he claimed to be – the one and only Son of God - Immanuel, God with us, God in human form who came to die and shed His blood for the sins of the world, to pay the final price God required for our redemption from sin and to secure our salvation from penalty of sin which is death. If that is true, and your eternal destiny hinges on it, then He Jesus deserves our worship. He deserves our adoration. He deserves our allegiance. He deserves our commitment.
Since the question of whether or not Jesus really did raise from the dead persists, the answer to this question is of the greatest importance for everyone to understand because the resurrection is the core truth of the Christian message, it is the foundation of Christianity.
Dr. Simon Greenleaf, a famous Harvard University professor of Law, wrote: "According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history."
Sir Lionel Luckhoo, who was knighted twice by Queen Elizabeth was, according to Guinness World Book of Records, the world's most successful attorney being a world-class expert on what constitutes reliable and persuasive evidence. Luckhoo after winning his 245th acquittal in 1985, turned his expertise to the question of whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ fits the test of legal evidence. Here is the conclusion he ultimately reached: "I say unequivocally that the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt." And then he did the most logical thing, he gave up law and traveled the world as an evangelist.
Dr. Gary Habermas, who is probably the world's leading expert on evidence and the evidence surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus has said, "Every bit of evidence of [Jesus'] resurrection is evidence for my resurrection. Why? because Jesus said very clearly in John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. he who believes in me will live even though he dies." Habermas went on to say, "If the resurrection is true, that statement is true. And I can have confidence, based on the evidence of Jesus' resurrection, that I someday will be resurrected as well."
Dr. Frank Morrison, a famous rationalistic lawyer, an avowed skeptic from Cambridge University, decided to take three years off from his law practice in order to try to disprove the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After three years of intense study and travel, Dr. Morrison found that the sheer weight of the evidence compelled him to conclude that Jesus Christ actually did rise from the dead. As a consequence, he wrote the famous book entitled Who Moved the Stone? Morrison the avowed skeptic and atheist became a devout Christian.
So, my question for today is not a matter of curiosity; It is extremely important for every person:
Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?
Peter said in 1 Peter 3:15 (NIV). "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, …"
Now before we examine the evidence of Christ's resurrection, I want you to consider these facts: if you visit the tomb of Muhammad, you will find him there. If you visit the tomb of Buddha, you will find him there – If you visit the tomb of Confucius you will find him there. If you visit the tomb of Bahaullah founder of the Baha'i' faith and his new revelation from God, you will find him there. If you visit the tomb of Zoroaster, you will find him there. As for the Hindu, Hinduism does not have a founder but is instead an eclectic form of many false religions, beliefs, and sacred texts that have been assembled to create a religion that does not even believe in God. They believe in reaching Nirvana a state of nothingness. The list could go on but this will give you a base from which to consider the evidence of Christ.
So, this morning I want to present the evidence to determine that either the resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most wicked, vicious, heartless hoaxes ever imposed on the minds of humanity – or it is the most remarkable fact of history. You see, Jesus of Nazareth was a Jewish prophet who claimed to be the Christ prophesied in the Jewish Scriptures, the Old Testament. He was arrested, was judged a political criminal, and was crucified. Three days after his death and burial, some women who went to His tomb found the body gone. In subsequent weeks, His disciples claimed that God had raised Him from the dead and that He appeared to them various times before ascending into heaven. From that foundation, Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire and has continued to exert an influence that has literally changed the world.
Some people take the position that Jesus never really died on the cross. It's called the "swoon theory" -- that Jesus fainted on the cross or took a drug that made Him only appear to die, and then the cool air of the tomb revived Him and He emerged alive. So, they contend, there was no resurrection because He hadn't died.
A medical expert named Dr. C. Truman Davis tells us that the brutal beating Jesus received before His crucifixion undoubtedly left Jesus was in serious to critical condition even before the crucifixion began.
So painful was death by crucifixion that a new word was coined to describe it -- the word "excruciating," which is Latin for "out of the cross." Death from crucifixion is basically a slow death by suffocation. If the Romans wanted to hasten death, they used a mallet to shatter the victim's shin bones so he couldn't push up anymore, and the victim's lungs would fill with carbon dioxide and he'd slowly asphyxiate. And that's what the executioners did to the criminals crucified on either side of Jesus. John 19:33-34 says, "but when they came to Jesus and found He was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water." The soldier then plunged a spear between His ribs, puncturing the sac around the heart and the heart itself, and causing a clear fluid and blood to spew out, which eyewitnesses recorded. Then four Roman experts had to confirm He was dead. The Romans were brutal and no one ever came down from a cross alive --and that included Jesus.
So, is the Resurrection Fact or Fiction? Let's look at the evidence for the fact that Jesus returned from the dead. I am using four words beginning with the letter "E" to make it easier to remember.
1. EARLY ACCOUNTS
Scholars have now discovered that the New Testament writings about Jesus were written well within the lifetimes of eyewitnesses that would have corrected the information about Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection if it had been exaggerated or false. But the record of the resurrection is even earlier than that. The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:1-6, "Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word, I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve."
What Paul was doing was passing along to the Christians at the church of Corinth a creed that was recited by the earliest Christians. This was a creed the early believers would recite in gatherings of Christians. This creed, of course, confirms that Jesus died for our sins and He was buried and resurrected on the third day. This is a major part of the Apostles' doctrine. And then Paul in this verse goes on and talks about eyewitnesses and so forth. Scholars have been able to date this creed back to as early as 24-36 months after the life of Jesus Christ. and the beliefs that make up that creed go right back to the cross itself. Within a generation of Jesus' life, documents were written about His death and resurrection. If treated without prejudice, the historical records concerning Jesus resurrection are as plentiful and as reliable as any ancient event we know of. There were witnesses still around for people to question because the proclamation that Jesus was the risen Son of God began immediately after His resurrection.
2. EMPTY TOMB
History tells us that the body of Jesus was laid to rest in a tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Jewish council. The tomb was sealed and placed under heavy guard and yet it was discovered empty on Easter morning. Look at Luke 24:3, "… Very early in the morning, the women … went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away but then they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus." But here's the most powerful fact concerning Jesus' tomb: nobody ever claimed it was anything but empty! Even His opponents admitted it was empty on the first day of the week. They tried to bribe the guards to say that the disciples stole the body while they were asleep, which is ridiculous because they didn't have the motive or opportunity -- and, besides, how would the guards have known it was the disciples if they were sleeping? Instead, they admitted it was true.
Now, the question is, How Did the Tomb Become Empty? The Romans wouldn't have taken the body. They wanted Jesus dead. The Jewish leaders wouldn't have taken the body. They wanted Him to stay dead. Either the Jews or the Romans would have loved to have paraded Jesus' lifeless body down Main Street of Jerusalem because this would have instantly killed the growing Christian movement that they were expending so much energy trying to destroy. But they couldn't because they didn't have the body. And the disciples had nothing to gain and everything to lose by stealing the body. Why would they want to live a life of deprivation and suffering and then be tortured to death for a lie? If this had been a charade, certainly one of them would have broken ranks under torture and told the truth.
Also, there is something very subtle but very significant in showing how accurate this account of the discovery of the empty tomb is. The account says that it was women who discovered that the tomb of Jesus was empty. Why is this important? In the first century, women's testimony was considered worthless. They were not allowed to testify in a court of law. Their word was not considered to have any credibility.
So, here's the implication: if the writers of this account of the resurrection of Jesus were making it up, were embellishing or exaggerating, they would never have said that women had discovered the tomb empty. Their audiences of the first century would have discounted that. It would have had zero effect because it was women. Yet they said that women discovered the tomb. The unanimous testimony of history is that the tomb was empty on the first day of the week.
3. EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY
Not only was Jesus' tomb empty, but over a period of 40 days Jesus appeared alive a dozen different times to more than 515 individuals. Paul continues in 1 Corinthians 15:6-8, "After that, [Jesus], he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep [died]. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born." In effect, Paul was saying, "Hey, these people are still around -- ask them yourselves if you don't believe me, and they'll tell you it's true."
He talked with people, He ate with them, He even invited one skeptic, Thomas, to put his finger in the nail holes in His hands and to put his hand in the spear wound in His side in order to verify that it was Him, to see and touch the evidence himself. Then what was Thomas's reaction? To say, "My Lord and my God!" he became convinced by the evidence that Jesus had returned from the dead. And what does history tell us about Thomas? He spent the rest of his life declaring Jesus did return from the dead, He is the Son of God, even to the point of being put to death for his faith in southern India. At least five hundred and fifteen people -- that's a lot of witnesses.
The appearances of Jesus were real events of history that revolutionized the lives of those who encountered Him. Some years ago, an article on Easter in Newsweek magazine said, "The risen Christ is the center of the Christian faith. The mystery without which there would be no church, no hope of eternal life, no living Christ to encounter today. No other historical figure has ever made the claim that He was raised from the dead. It was this appearance of the resurrected Christ that lit the flame of the Christian faith. It wasn't the morality of the Sermon on the Mount, which enabled Christianity to conquer Roman paganism, but it was the belief that Jesus was alive, that He'd been raised from the dead."
4. THE EMERGENCE OF THE CHURCH
This again is powerful evidence for the reality of the resurrection. Look at what happened to the disciples. After the crucifixion they are despondent, dejected, depressed, hiding. They fled. Peter had denied Jesus three times. Our leader has been put to death in the most degrading possible way. And they thought, "That's it! It's over!" But then history shows that 50 days, after the resurrection, on the Feast of First Fruits, the Day of Pentecost, with the coming of the Holy Spirit, these same people who were once cowardly and fearful (John 20:19-23; Acts 2:1-31) are now boldly proclaiming that Jesus is resurrected. Acts 2:14a, Acts 2:32 tells us, "Then Peter stood up, he raised his voice and addressed the crowd and said … 'God has raised this Jesus to life and we are all witnesses to this fact.'" We saw it! We know it's true! If the account of Jesus resurrection had been false, do you think the disciples would have let themselves be tortured to death for a lie? Nobody knowingly and willingly dies for a lie.
The Resurrection is the ultimate authentication of Jesus' claim that He is God! It is certain that Jesus was raised from the dead!

Молва́ — русская ежедневная газета, издававшаяся в Санкт-Петербурге в 1879—1881 году.

История
В 1874 году газета «Биржевые ведомости» была приобретена российским инженером В. А. Полетика, решившим заняться издательской деятельностью. Смена собственника привела к усилению оппозиционной направленности некогда экономической газеты, издание получало неоднократные предупреждения со стороны цензуры.

Цензурные запреты вынудили в 1879 году издателя преобразовать «Биржевые ведомости» в газету с новым названием — «Молва».

Кроме В. А. Полетики, активно боровшегося с господствовавшим тогда в печати фритредерским настроением, на страницах издания появлялись статьи Э. К. Ватсона, А. Н. Плещеева, Д. Д. Минаева, Ф. Ф. Воронова, В. Ф. Корша и многих других сотрудников «Санкт-Петербургских ведомостей», традиций которых газета старалась придерживаться..

В марте 1881 года газета была закрыта на месяц, по истечении которого издание газеты не возобновилось.

>> [1 2 3] - [1;2]
ans =
     0     1     2
    -1     0     1
K>> [1;2] - [1 2 3]
ans =
     0    -1    -2
     1     0    -1

Unfortunately, if I do the same with datetime, I fail:
>> NaT(1, 3) - NaT(2, 1)
Data inputs must be the same size, or any of them can be a scalar.

Why and is it possible to overcome?


We have the highest quality range of BBQ Charcoal, Natural Charcoal, Shisha Charcoal, Japanese Charcoal, Long Lasting Charcoal, Nigerian Charcoal and Indonesian Charcoal available.
Have a look at each types page for more information on the difference between them.
Whatever charcoal you are searching for, we have a solution for you, regardless of budget. If you need some advice, just get in touch with one of our consultants.
Our Natural BBQ charcoal is packed in 10kg bags for food service and 5kg bags for retail.
Nigerian Charcoal – Premium hardwood charcoal made from Oakwood and Rosewood. Produces excellent heat and burning times of approximately 4 hours.
Vietnamese Charcoal – Premium citrus charcoal, produces excellent heat and flavor with a burning time of approximately 4 hours.
Indonesian Charcoal – Machine made charcoal using premium natural sawdust, smokeless and provides approximately 6 hours of burning time.
Made from Oakwood, Rosewood or Citrus Trees.
Once the wood is reduced to charcoal, it's left in its original rough shape. In fact, the best way to determine the quality of the charcoal is to look at it—if you can recognize the shapes of real wood, you've got the real thing.
Burns hotter (around 1,000°F), so you should make a smaller or more spread-out fire than you would with briquettes.
Imparts a purer, wood-fired flavor to foods.
Made from the sawdust of hardwood trees.
Combined with coal dust and manually compressed into their characteristic hexagonal shape.
Slower to light, often requiring accelerants such as our organic firelighters.
Burns hottest (closer to 2000° to 2100°F).
Burns slowly due to the high calorific count, approximately 6 hours.
Smokeless making it ideal for use in indoor kitchens and Robata grills.
Packed in cartons, for easy stackable storage.
We have the highest quality range of Hookah Charcoal or Shisha Charcoal, made from 100% coconut shell. Our range has previously been referred to as Somalian charcoal, however, it is actually imported from either Nigeria, Indonesia or Vietnam. We have excellent quality at different prices.
Our Natural shisha charcoal is packed in 5kg bags for HORECA, we have multiple grades available depending on the budget and purpose required and are always happy to submit samples. We also promise that the quality of the items delivered will always match the sample provided and we never cut corners.

Why not give our team a call and give the whole range a try?


Hey there! :D You are welcome to subscribe to my journal. I make about 50/50 public/access list posts. I'm slightly picky in who I give access to, but I just have to know you from somewhere.
Graphics are at thisisagraphicscomm with my older stuff at quadrupled. Other stuff is in the links in the sidebar.
I am literally still not over Broadchurch just fyi. Slowly making my way through the fics on AO3.
I started a Stargate SG-1 rewatch. Currently somewhere in season 3. This show remains as great as ever.
The show is a very funny journey down late 90s hamfisted attempts at what a bunch of guys thought feminism looked like while still being so cluelessly unaware of all the ways in which they were not feminist at all. I'm so good natured about it only because it was 20 years ago and there's no point being anything other than amused at this point. I don't want to be angry at a thing I love for something that's done and over with. But damn, especially season 1.. haha. And I don't even mean just the gross stuff like Emancipation or Hathor but just weird stuff - Sam's characterization surprised me by being much more confusing in season 1 than I remember. She's her, yeah, but there's this weird other vein where she's being the psychologist of the group in several episodes for reasons I can only assume are due to her gender. Also in the episode Singularity (first one with Cassandra), Teal'c makes some comment about how Sam just knows that Cassandra would be fine due to "mother's instinct" like whaaaaaat can we not, Sam is the WORST at mothering, ahahaha.
As we all must know by now, the next Doctor on Doctor Who will be a woman. (Yaaas.) This is coinciding with Moffat finally leaving. I always said I'd give Who another go once he's gone, and I am going to be true to my word and see if the new showrunner's any good!
In order to ease myself back into it, I thought I'd get to know the new Doctor's actress a little. She's done lots of stuff but Broadchurch was on my netflix so it was easiest to watch and I'd heard good things about it, so I decided to watch. And OMG am I glad I did. I LOVED IT!!! I mean, new Doctor aside, I really loved the show. (I mostly forgot that she was the reason I started watching the show after about 2 episodes.) I would say it's basically a Brit version of The Killing, which I adored. One case/story over a long period (multiple seasons), lady cop that I LOVE*, unlikely partnership that scratches my itches in all the right ways.. YES GOOD THANKS.
I'm really sad they only did 3 series of Broadchurch. :((((( And Hardy/Miller is my ship flavor of the moment now.
*so my love for Ellie Miller is just like, okay, she's so optimistic and wants to save the world and she endures unimaginable pain, such a specific kind that very few people have to go through (trying not to spoil here), but she comes out the other side and she's STILL optimistic and STILL upbeat and STILL so empathetic and that's her best feature THAT'S what helps her solve crimes THAT'S what makes her so crucial to Hardy, so irreplacable, and no she's not perfect by any means, but her humanity is what gives her the edge and helps her see the things he misses - that and her CRAZY CRIMESOLVING WALLS (my favorite) - that helps her connect to victims she fights for, and she doesn't let Hardy's gruffness get to her, she's just like oh shut up, she's amazingly strong to be there for the best friend that hates her, and I just???? LOVE??? HER?????!!!!! Here's a convenient list of Miller's 10 best moments ahahha my laughter devolves into sobbing because I love her so much.
P A R T N E R S.
I like how I posted a whole list of tv that I desperately needed to catch up on, and then proceeded to catch up on NONE OF THEM and instead (after finishing The Americans), doing a COMPLETE REWATCH of Star Trek Enterprise.
I went looking for screencaps and found basically none (only what's at trekcore, and since when are 600 caps for a whole episode an adequate amount? NEVER). So guess who has undertaken the project of capping the entirety of Enterprise? Honestly, the show has some really beautiful shots. (Especially in the last 2 seasons.) I mean, nobody's going to be interested in these caps besides me so this is probably a ridiculous undertaking (especially considering I only get on my computer like 1-2 days of the week anymore) but oh well.
HEY HOW ARE YOU ALL sorry I'm the worst at life journaling.
I pretty much stopped watching tv for a long time. I hardly watched anything for a year. If I watched anything it was just random youtube videos that I'd fall asleep to halfway through. And I'd watch things that were available on Netflix because it meant I didn't have to turn on my computer and download something. But lately I've been making the effort to rediscover my true love (television) and get caught up on things.
also watching tv, making icons, writing fic, reading comics, and generally fanning it up.

← What are our Routines?
This is not another story about our travels across the United States. We are camped at Cross Country Campground with our WBCCI Club, Carolinas Unit of NC. This campground's name is apropos for a couple who just crossed the USA twice in their camper. This campground is located near Lake Norman in Denver, NC, and has been a favorite local retreat for us. The rally section of Cross Country sits atop the campground at the far north end. A conference hall in this section serves indoor needs for rally groups. Mature trees abound, rv spaces are large, and a rock campfire ring is in each campsite.
We arrived here Thursday from Ann's & Jerry's after a 45 minute drive. Meeting up with our WBCCI Carolinas Unit friends has been wonderful. I scrounged the adjacent woods yesterday for firewood and we enjoyed a fire from dark until after ten p.m. Friday night. Saturday morning the Club cooked grits, sausage, and pancakes before our meeting. Thankfully the Club elected officers so I won't be President next year. There really was no doubt since the Club does a good job with succession planning every year. We enjoy our WBCCI Club, Carolinas Unit of NC, and all the people. Debbie and I have both served in offices for the Club and will take a break from service next year.
Ann & Jerry Hall participated in the meeting Saturday and we ate lunch with them. Yea! We agreed we'll caravan together to the Myrtle Beach next month. I told Jerry, we're not going to let them travel alone any more after what happened last time we tried it. We ended up putting them on a plane from Los Angeles. No more! Ann looks wonderful and seems to be feeling so much better. They're both very glad to be home and getting back into familiar routines.
Our weather has been superb, our Club cooks have fed us very well. Tonight we feasted on fresh-cooked barbecue, beans, slaw, fruit salad, and peach cobbler. The food was freshly prepared by Scott Caskey, Joe and Janice Caskey's son. He worked on it Friday night and all day Saturday. His pork barbecue is as good as I've enjoyed anywhere, it was just wonderful.
Saturday night, Evanna, daughter of noted magician and performer Celeste Evans, performed for us. We had already watched her teaching a young camper, Matthew Trexler of China Grove, wood turning and finishing of a pen on a small Delta wood lathe. While Matthew's dad, Stacy, watched proudly Evanna showed a lot of patience with Matthew and skill in wood turning.
Saturday evening we saw another side to Evanna, that of performer. She demonstrated her skill in twirling four illuminated Poi balls in a totally dark room. I somehow was selected as her subject, to stand just in front of her, as she rapidly spun these four balls very very close to my head and face. She insisted I must keep my eyes open so she could reference her distance from me by the reflection from my eyes. I felt my hair moving and I sensed the air from the flying balls moving my eyebrows. She's a pro! She didn't hit me at all.
This morning we had coffee, doughnuts, and morning devotions before everyone said their farewells and "See You Down The Roads". Debbie and I are glad to let everyone pull up their stakes and leave us. We pick up a Charlotte Observer at the campground's front desk and enjoy a very quiet morning to ourselves before we head to Kannapolis. Debbie's parents, John and Betty Shaver, will let us park in their driveway with connections to water and electricity.
We're ready to slow down our activities, settle in one place for a little while and take care of ourselves and our equipment. Kannapolis seems like a perfect place this Fall.

Drugs charges at Sydney festival
More than 100 people have been charged during the first day of the two-day Stereosonic music festival, police say.
More than 50,000 people attended the festival at Sydney Showground, on Saturday.
More than 200 police officers were on hand.
On Saturday officers searched 565 people and charged 119 people, 105 of them with drug-related offences.
Thirteen people were charged after allegedly bringing alcohol into the venue and four were arrested over alleged assaults.
Police say they seized illegal drugs including cannabis and ecstasy tablets as well as alcohol.
Superintendent David Eardley, says police will continue to target anti-social behaviour and any alcohol or drug-related crime on Sunday.
"While a number of people chose to do the wrong thing, it's pleasing to see that the vast majority of revellers enjoyed the beginning of the festival safely," he said.

This amphora form has only recently been identified (Arthur & Williams, 1992) and was one of the regional products that superseded the Dressel 2-4 when Italy began to lose its trade dominance in amphorae during the second/third centuries AD. It has a broadly similar shape to the Dressel 2-4 form, although there are some typological changes. The handles are oval or round in section instead of bifid and the rim is almond-shaped, with a long cylindrical body and a slightly flaring spike.
Its absence from Pompeii indicates that it was not produced before AD 79, probably first appearing in the second century. A titulus pictus from San Clemente in Rome gives an absolute consular date of AD 216 (Arthur 1987), and it has been found in contexts at Ostia dating to between AD 230 and 283. The South Shields sherds were dated AD 250-350.
Arthur & Williams (1992) identify four fabrics, three of which are probably Campanian and one which may possibly be Calabrian. Of these, the most easily recognizable is the black-sand fabric (C), which suggests production in the bay of Naples area.
The type has been found at various sites around Italy, including Rome, Ostia, Cales and Naples. It has also been identified at various sites in Britain at York, Catterick, Claydon Pike, South Shields fort on Hadrians Wall and at Augst in Switzerland (Martin-Kilcher, 1994: Fig. 126).
Based on the similarity to the wine-carrying Dressel 2-4, wine is a very strong possibility.

Additionally, the docuseries will feature interviews with those were part of and witnessed the controversy that led to Osbourne's departure from The Talk, including Piers Morgan and Meghan McCain, former co-host of ABC's The View.
On the announcement of the series, Fox Nation's president Jason Klarman said in a statement: "We are excited to be the place that Sharon chose to tell her incredible story.

What are the risks of vaccinations for people living with psoriasis?
Subscribe to Housecall
Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
Do potential side effects mean that vaccines should be avoided in people with psoriasis?
Vaccines offer protection from serious, preventable illness. Most children and adults can reap these protective benefits, with minimal health risks, by following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended vaccination schedule. If you have psoriasis, however, you may need to work more closely with your doctor, as vaccinations can be more complicated.
For example, for some people with psoriasis, injected vaccines may increase the risk of a psoriasis flare at the injection site. This reaction is called Koebner phenomenon. It can occur when your immune system — already in overdrive in psoriasis — rushes in to heal the wound caused by the injection. With Koebner phenomenon, any skin trauma, from sunburn to surgical wounds, can cause psoriasis patches to form at the site of the injury.
Also, the nasal spray flu vaccine and some other live vaccines may not be safe for you if you're taking or scheduled to take drugs that alter or weaken your immune system, including methotrexate or biologics. Live vaccines are made with a weakened (attenuated) amount of an actual virus. Like all vaccines, live vaccines help your immune system make antibodies that help your body fight off infection. However, when your immune system is suppressed, exposure to a live virus may cause the infection that the vaccine was made to prevent.
Your doctor can help you consider the risk of serious infection from live-virus exposure and the risk of Koebner phenomenon from a skin injection. The right choice for you in such cases will depend on your current health and medical treatments.
Experts agree that the potentially lifesaving benefits of vaccinations significantly outweigh the risks in people who have psoriasis. Certain psoriasis medications (such as methotrexate, cyclosporine or biologics) are known to increase the risk of dangerous infections. Following the recommended vaccination schedule may lower your risk. But it's important to talk with your doctor about the right vaccination schedule for you.

Live Music & Porch-Hoppin' in Mt. Rainier!
Checked out Mt. Rainier's Intentional Blackout Porch Night this past Saturday. As you wise ones can deduce from the name, this was an afternoon-into-evening filled with live music performed by musicians local to Mt. Rainier, Maryland. Over nine different sets played for about thirty minutes on the porch of people's homes (sometimes their own porch, sometimes a bud's porch).
When one performance would wrap up, all would gather and walk together to the next scheduled set. Super-cool way to expose oneself to the local music scene and the bevvy of local musicians who we call neighbors.
Although we didn't get a chance to check out all of the musicians on Saturday, I did check them out – virtually – today and am sharing links to their sites / Facebook / Soundcloud pages so that we may all give them a listen and maybe check them out next time they're on tour, be it at DC9, the porch or otherwise! Check 'em out and do what you can to support out local musicians and our loverly local music scene!
Bruce Hutton, Old Time American Folks Music. Explore here!
Gabe Popkin, Traditional Appalachian Fiddle and Old-Time Guitar. Check him out, here!
indie rock band from swampy Washington, DC. They like guitar synths, vocal harmonies, and putting pickups on toy pianos." Learn more about Fellow Creatures here!
Jodi Beder, experimental, classical cellist and member of the band Zen for Primates.
Kirsten Lies-Warfield, first female trombonist ever selected for the U.S. Army Band! You may have heard her play with the gypsy rock band, Black Masala. Check her out, here!
Mansutus Jones. I wasn't able to find this band's website but I did find this interview featuring the band and their music. Give it a listen, here!
Sunrise Review. A solar powered music project inspired by nature, recorded in nature, blending eastern and western style. Check out their site, here!
Alex Martin, New World Jazz Guitar. Give a listen, here!
Bus Howard, Actor, Artist, Musician & Bluesman! Check him out, here!
Have you heard any of these bands before? If not, check 'em out and share your thoughts in the comments below!


(not just find ways to get the children and their families' schools out of sight, and "off the books").
The rush to charters without solving basic pedagogy issues first is just kicking the can further down the road. Let's actually deal with problems before passing the buck.

Caban Sgriblio – 3rd May to 5th July 2018
By Hester Woodcock|2018-04-25T07:58:24+00:00April 25th, 2018|Uncategorized|
