Phantom Freddy is a major antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and one of the six phantom animatronics in the game. He is a hallucination of Withered Golden Freddy in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, and of FNaF 1 Freddy Fazbear in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted.
1.3 Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted
In one of the trailer photos, what looks like a broken down, unfinished Freddy can be seen as just a torso and head. However, Freddy does actually return, not in the Freddy torso and head, but as an antagonistic phantom or spirit that still stalks the player. Since Freddy is a spirit, he is unable to kill the player, despite his ability to jumpscare the player.
He attacks the player throughout the nights along with his fellow spirits but without any luck killing him. However, as the nights go by he gains enough power to disable all three systems.
Phantom Freddy's silhouette will randomly appear to walk across the window in front of the player. The player must be viewing either the Monitor or the Maintenance Panel until Phantom Freddy finishes walking across the length of the window to avoid triggering his jumpscare. If the player fails to do this while Phantom Freddy is wandering, he will duck down, completely removing himself from the player's sight. He will then jumpscare the player a few moments later, disabling the audio, sound, or ventilation. In later nights, he is powerful enough to disable all three, and can also be considered the most dangerous phantom because of this ability and his recurring appearances.
In the cutscene after Night 1, Freddy is playable, and Afton dismantles him and later his friends. After Night 5, the final cutscene is shown in which golden Freddy and the other spirits, now children again, corner their murderer until he enters Spring Bonnie, unwittingly "killing" himself, becoming Springtrap. Seemingly satisfied, all spirits leave.
After Night 6, the horror attraction burns down. If Phantom Freddy was a spirit of a child, then he was most likely set free. Springtrap survives the fire.
Phantom Freddy returns as a customizable enemy in Ultimate Custom Night. In this installment, Phantom Freddy will begin to appear into the office over time. The player must shine him with the flashlight to make him disappear. If the player fails to make him disappear in time, Phantom Freddy will jumpscare the player forcing them to reset the ventilation. He will appear faster, not only depending of his A.I level, but also if the office's temperature is too high, similar to how Freddy Fazbear will move faster the higher the heat of the office is.
Freddy, along with the other animatronics, Toy or otherwise, appears to have been scrapped or otherwise lost completely in the thirty-year gap between games.
Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted
Phantom Freddy returns with the same mechanic as in FNaF 3 in the category titled "FNAF 3", serving as a hallucination or distraction. He cannot harm the player. He'll walk outside the office from time-to-time, serving as a distraction to the player. He also appears in Vent Repair, Ennard Hard Mode Section, as a giant, red tinted version of him walking around outside the map.
Phantom Freddy is, essentially, the same model as Withered Golden Freddy (with the exception of a missing ear and wires coming out of his left eye, resembling Withered Golden Freddy), with white pin-pricked pupils in his eyes, which he only have during his jumpscare. He appears to be charred and burnt, foreshadowing the fire that broke out in the establishment. His mouth can usually be seen hanging open. His two lower legs are never seen in the game, but through his walking animation, the lower right leg looks ripped out and torn from his body.
Interestingly, he appears to be colored golden, or at least green, though this may simply be from his burnt appearance or the overall green hue of the game, as the other phantom animatronics share the same properties of his color scheme.
In FNaF VR, he looks mostly the same, but now resembles the FNaF 1 version of Freddy, albeit transparent in places, revealing the endoskeleton underneath. He also appears to be damaged somewhat, with tears in his costume.

Phantom Freddy's model resembles Golden Freddy's appearance in the second game, due to the missing ear and wires coming from the eyes and even the way his hat is slightly tilted to the left.
When viewed through the game files, it is revealed that Phantom Freddy is missing his lower right leg. From the mobile version, Phantom Freddy's walking animation is slightly slower. As of version 1.031, Phantom Freddy's footsteps can be heard when he is limping outside the window.
Unlike in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 where Phantom Freddy's jumpscare is fully animated, Phantom Freddy's jumpscare in Ultimate Custom Night is a single frame.

UN Security Council meeting
Video from C-SPAN

1:45:50 – 1:57:26
Syrian Ambassador to the UN Bashar al Ja'Afari
"At the outset, my delegation wishes to thank both the Russian Federation and Bolivia that joined us in calling for the convening of this urgent meeting.
I have a question at the very outset to the under-Secretary General who stated that Syrian Arab Republic perpetrated an act of aggression without defining that act by the terms of the Charter of the United Nations.
The United States at 3:42 at dawn today, April 7, 2017, waged a barbaric, flagrant act of aggression against a base of the Syrian Arab Air Force in the central area of the country using a number of missiles which led to a number of martyrs, many injured, including women and children, and wide-ranging material damage.
This treacherous act of aggression is a grave violation of the Charter of the United Nations as well as all international norms and laws.
The United States attempted to justify it with empty pretexts, fabricated arguments, claiming that the Syrian Arab Army had used the chemical weapons in Khan Sheikhoun, without genuine knowledge of what happened, without identifying who was responsible, the very same pretexts shouted out by terrorist organizations as well as their handlers in Washington and in ___Riyadh, ____Tex Aviv, London, and Paris, as well as their media.
The Syrian Arab Republic has stressed that the Syrian Arab Army does not have chemical weapons in the first place, and that it would never use such weapons in any of its operations against armed terrorist groups, that it condemns the use of such weapons as being unjustified under any conditions.
Let me stress that it is well-known that those weapons had been used and stockpiled in many parts of Syria by terrorist armed organizations in cooperation, or rather with a wink and a nudge, by some ruling regimes in the region and outside, including Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some European states.
They completely ignore all the facts and documented information on the use of chemical weapons by terrorists in many parts of the Syrian Arab Republic.
This aggression would surely send erroneous messages to these terrorist groups, emboldening them to use chemical weapons in the future and to continue perpetrating terrorist acts against the Syrian civilians. Jabhat al Nusra and ISIL, both terrorist organizations, and associated terrorist organizations, following this aggression, did wage many attacks on many parts of Syria. The Syrian Arab Army and its allies in the war against terrorism are confronting them, despite attempts to support them. The American aggression is under this umbrella.
This condemnable aggression is a grave extrapolation of the same erroneous American strategy that began six years ago: one of providing all forms of assistance to what the United States called moderate armed opposition groups. This strategy harms counterterrorism by the Syrian Arab Army and its partners. It makes the United States of America a partner of ISIL and Jabhat al Nusra and other terrorist groups that since day one of the unjust war against Syria have attacked army positions and military bases as well as the infrastructure.
Let me recall in this Council that the United States of America leads a purported alliance against ISIL. However, the real achievements of that coalition is to kill civilians and to strike at infrastructure in Syria. Its real objective is to weaken the Syrian Arab Army and its allies when confronting terrorist groups. In this regard, we see the air strike by the aircraft of this coalition illegally against the Syrian Arab Army in the Jabal Tharda in the city of Deir Ezzor on 17 September 2016 in an attempt to protect ISIL elements falling between Syrian and Iraqi territory and opening a corridor for them.
Today's aggression aimed at saving the Jabhat al Nusra following the grave damage that was done to them by the Syrian Arab Army and its allies in the center of the country following their attack on cities and peaceful villages in the region.
Let me also stress that media reports tell us that the U.S. Congress some time ago approved a law allowing the U.S. administration to send manpads to armed terrorist groups in Syria.
We have warned only two days ago in this very Council that these colonialists, permanent member states in the Security Council, the three colonialists have a renewed appetite to renew their lies and their stories that have been spread by the United States and the United Kingdom 14 years ago in this very hall to justify the destruction and occupation of Iraq using a major lie – being WMDs. Perhaps history has come full circle now in a regrettable scenario when we saw Secretary of State Colin Powell at the time trying to delude the international community and the United Nations to justify the aggression of his country against Iraq by talking about highly credible information.
Today the United States of America in its policy, in an attempt to justify its aggression against Syria, is using fabricated information provided by the Jabhat al Nusra terrorists.
This aggression incontrovertibly proves that Syria has been correct: that successive American administrations will not change their sterile policies, which is to target states to make peoples kneel to their will and spread hegemony around the world.
International public opinion, the people of the free world, have no doubt that the successive United States, UK, and French administrations for decades have not cared for democracy or freedom or human rights, indeed, let alone the welfare of people or their security and stability. These are just pretexts to wage war, to occupy other states, to divide them, to control their wealth and energy resources.
What is truly disgusting today is that these governments that supported the Wahhabi thinking, the terrorist extremist ideology of the House of Saud since its creation, is today orchestrating terrorism and investing in it without any care for the lives of people, even their own peoples when terrorism reaches their own threshold because of these wrong and hypocritical policies.
The Syrian Arab Republic strongly condemns the active aggression by the United States of America which is counter to the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, indeed with the status of the United States as a permanent member of the Security Council which is responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security. Let alone that these aggressions really promise total chaos in many parts of the world and will make the law of the jungle the only way to deal with the regional and economic crises without any heed to the Charter of the United Nations.
When you kill millions of innocents starting in South Asia all the way through Latin America, what was your position? A member from France spoke on the issue and spoke about exceptions.
You should not be the exception.
You should be made accountable for the killings in July of 2017 [2016?] of hundreds by your war planes.
You in the international coalition must be held accountable for the killing of 800 civilians in Syria at the beginning of 2017.
You must be made accountable for your support of armed terrorist groups and their political cover there, too, as they continue their terrorist acts.
The government of the Syrian Arab Republic, proceeding from its belief that all efforts must be mobilized to counteract terrorism, as it respects the rules of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, calls on the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities according to the Charter to condemn this act of aggression and to ensure that it shall not be repeated.
It is an act that threatens peace and security in the region and the world."

U kemiji, krekiranje je proces kojim se složene organske molekule ili dugolančani ugljikovodici, cijepanjem ugljik-ugljik veza u kompleksnim molekulama, razbijaju na jednostavnije molekule s manjim brojem ugljikovih atoma. Krekiranje ugljikovodika jest raspad velikih molekula alkana, na manje, korisnije alkene i alkine. Jednostavno rečeno, to je proces rastavljanja dugih ugljikovodičnih lanaca na kratke. Takav proces zahtjeva visoke tlakove i temperature. Koristi se, dakle, kada se želi iz teških, manje vrijednih proizvoda pomoću visokih temperatura, tlakova i katalizatora, s ili bez dodatka vodika, dobiti lakše, više vrijedne proizvode.

Brzina krekiranja i konačni produkt strogo su uvjetovani temperaturom na kojoj se odvija proces te prisustvom katalizatora

Širi pojam krekiranja odnosi se na sve procese cijepanja molekula na visokoj temperaturi u prisustvu katalizatora i otapala, kao što su npr. procesi destruktivne destilacije i pirolize.

Proces krekiranja naišao je na široku primjenu u preradi nafte, a služi za dobivanje benzina iz dizelskog goriva i lakših derivata iz ostataka destilacije. Općenito, u preradi nafte pripada sekundarnim procesima u kojima dolazi do konverzije prisutnih ugljikovodika. Provode se da bi se povećao udio ekonomičnijih proizvoda te da bi se povisila njihova kvaliteta. Krekiranjem se dakle, može bitno izmijeniti struktura derivata proizvedenih iz sirove nafte. To je potrebno jer redovito struktura potrošnje ne odgovara strukturi proizvodnje osnovanoj na destilaciji, pa se krekiranjem korigira struktura proizvodnje.

Povijest i patenti

Između nekoliko varijanti termičkih metoda krekiranja (znanih kao "Shukhovov proces krekiranja", "Burtonov proces krekiranja", "Burton-Humphreysov proces krekiranja", "Dubssov proces krekiranja"), Vladimir Shukhov, ruski inženjer, prvi je izumio je i patentirao proces, 1891. godine (Russian Empire, patent no. 12926, 27. studenog 1891.). Jedno postrojenje korišteno je u Rusiji kratko vrijeme, međutim nije popraćeno razvojem. U prvom desetljeću dvadesetog stoljeća, američki inženjeri William Merriam Burton i Robert E. Humphreys, neovisno jedan o drugome, razvili su i patentirali sličan proces kao U.S. patent 1,049,667, 8. Lipnja 1908. godine. Jedna od prednosti procesa bila je ta što su, i kondenzator i isparivač, bili konstantno držani pod tlakom.
U svojim ranijim verzijama, bio je to serijski proces više nego kontinuirani te su uslijedili mnogi patenti u Europi i SAD-u, a mnogi nisu bili praktični. 1924. godine, delegacija američke naftne kompanije Sinclair Oil Corporation, posjetila je Shukhova želeći sugerirati da je Burton-Humphreysov patent, kojeg je tada upotrebljavao Standard Oil, izveden iz njegovog. Kada bi se ta tvrdnja pokazala istinitom, to bi ojačalo američke rivale Standard Oila koji su htjeli učiniti Burton-Humphreysov patent nevažećim. Na simpoziju, Shukhov je udovoljio Amerikancima izjavivši da je, načelno, Burton-Humhreysov patent sličan njegovom iz 1891. Njegov interes u cijeloj stvari bio je, zapravo, osigurati ruskoj naftnoj industriji gradnju aparature za krekiranje po bilo kojem opisanom sistemu, bez mogućnosti optuživanja od strane Amerikanaca da je patent ukraden. Nekoliko godina nakon Ruske revolucije, razvilo se fluid katalitičko krekiranje te je uskoro zamijenilo većinu čistih termičkih procesa u industriji prerade fosilnih goriva. Međutim, termičko krekiranje nije u potpunosti zamijenjeno, mnoge metode i dalje su u upotrebi, ovisno o vrsti sirovine i produktima koji zadovoljavaju potrebe tržišta. Termičke metode krekiranja ostaju i dalje značajne, razvijene su još mnoge poput loma viskoznosti, koksiranja, parnog krekiranja, te se koriste u razne svrhe.

Metode krekiranja

Termičke metode
Termičko krekiranje prva je razvijena metoda hidrokrekiranja u čijoj je energetskoj bilanci dominantan član entropija (ΔrS), a ne entalpija (ΔrH), u Gibbsovoj jednadžbi slobodne energije ΔrG = ΔrH - TΔrS. Iako je energija rastavljanja jednostrukih ugljik-ugljik veza relativno velika i vrlo endotermna reakcija, velika pozitivna promjena entropije rezultat je fragmentacije jedne velike molekule u više manjih, koja zajedno s ekstremno visokom temperaturom, član TΔrS čini većim od člana ΔrH.

Termičko krekiranje
Moderno termičko krekiranje provodi se pri apsolutnim tlakovima od oko 7000 kPa. Cijelokupni proces može biti promatran tako da su produkti slabo bogati vodikom formirani iz raspada velikih molekula koje kondenzacijom gube vodik. Dotična reakcija poznata je i kao hemolitička fisija kojom se proizode alkeni, temelj za ekonomski jako važnu proizvodnju polimera.
Termičko krekiranje u širem je smislu razgradnja (piroliza) ugljikovodika, ponajprije dizelskog goriva i ostataka destilacije, kako atmosferske tako i vakuumske, da bi se njihovom konverzijom u lakše frakcije povećala proizvodnja istih. S obzirom na veću produktivnost i bolju kvalitetu proizvoda katalitičkog krekiranja, termičko krekiranje koristi se samo onda kada nije moguće katalitičko krekiranje, primjerice kod postupaka kod kojih se koriste katalizatori koji nepoželjno reagiraju s katalitičkim otrovima. Međutim,  često se termički krekiraju ostaci destilacije u postupku loma viskoznosti i koksiranja.

Lom viskoznosti
Lom viskoznosti je postupak koji se razvio na principu termičkog krekiranja. Tijekom postupka dolazi do raspada teških ostataka destilacije nafte, a svrha postupka je pretvaranje vrlo gustih ostataka u loživo ulje male viskoznosti. Proces se provodi uz niže temperature i tlakove nego termičko krekiranje, a vrijeme raspada je relativno kratko. Na taj način dolazi se do vrlo male količine lakših produkata.

Koksiranje
Koksiranje je proces kojim se proizvodi petrol koks. Ovaj proces vremenski je produljeno krekiranje. Kao sirovina za koksiranje koriste se ostaci destilacije. Ostaci se griju u peći do temperature od oko 400 °C, a nakon toga odvode se u kolonu za destilaciju da bi se odijelile lakše frakcije. Ostaci prethodno spomenute destilacije dovode se u drugi dio peći gdje se zagrijavaju do oko 500 °C, a odatle u jednu od retorti za koks. U retorti se ostaci raspadaju i tako nastaje koks i destilati. Destilati s vrha retorte odlaze u kolonu za frakcioniranje dok se koks u retorti nakuplja te je svaka 24 sata potrebno zaustaviti pogon retorte da bi se proizvedeni koks odstranio. Osim navedenim procesom, koksiranje je moguće ostvariti i u fluidiziranom sloju. Koksiranje u fluidiziranom stanju odvija se u dijelovima postrojenja koji se nazivaju pregrijač i reaktor. Predgrijač služi za ugrijavanje čestica koksa na temperaturu od 550 do 650 °C. Potom se ugrijane čestice koksa vraćaju u reaktor gdje se održavaju u fluidiziranom sloju ubrizgavanjem pare koja služi za fluidizaciju i isparivanje hlapljivih sastojaka sirovine. Vruća sirovina dovodi se u reaktor gdje se raspršuje. U reaktoru se provodi koksiranje pri temperaturi od 480 do 570 °C pod tlakom od 0.137 do 0.172Mpa (1.37 do 1.72 bara), a sirovi koks koji je nastao u reaktoru odvodi se u predgrijač gdje se dovršava proces.

Parno krekiranje
Parno krekiranje petrokemijski je proces u kojem se zasićeni ugljikovodici raspadaju na manje, često nezasićene, ugljikovodike. To je glavna metoda za proizvodnju lakših alkena (ili češće olefina), uključujući i eten (ili etilen), i propen (ili propilen). Jedinice za parno krekiranje su postrojenja u kojima se sirovine poput nafte, ukapljenog petroleja (LPG), etana, propana ili butana termički krekiraju upotrebom pare u spremnicima peći za pirolizu da bi se proizveli lakši ugljikovodici. Vrsta i kvaliteta dobivenih produkata ovisi o sastavu sirovine, omjeru ugljikovodika i pare, temperaturi krekiranja i vremenu zadržavanja u peći.

U parnom krekiranju, plinovita ili kapljevita ugljikovodična sirovina poput nafte, LPG-a ili etana razrjeđuje se parom i kratko zagrijava u pećima bez prisustva kisika. Temperatura reakcije obično je vrlo visoka, oko 850 °C, međutim, dozvoljeno je vrlo kratkotrajo vrijeme reagiranja. U modernim pećima za krekiranje vrijeme zadržavanja svedeno je na milisekunde da bi se poboljšao doprinos što rezultira visokim brzinama plina koje se penju i do brzine zvuka. Nakon što se dosegne temperatura krekiranja, plin se brzo gasi kako bi se zaustavila reakcija. Gašenje se odvija u izmjenjivaču topline s transportnom linijom ili unutar pročelja za gašenje pomoću ulja za gašenje.

Lagane ugljikovodične sirovine poput etana, LPG-a ili lake nafte daju tokove produkata bogatih lakim alkenima, uključujući etilenom, propilenom i butadienom. Teže ugljikovodične sirovine (teške nafte i ostali rafinerijski produkti) također daju neke od prethodno nabrojanih produkata, ali i proizvode bogate aromatskim ugljikovodicima i ugljikovodicima pogodnim za uključivanje u benzin ili loživo ulje.

Višim temperaturama krekiranja proizvode se najviše eten i benzen, dok se nisko temperaturnim procesima proizvode veće količine propena, C4-ugljikovodici i tekući proizvodi.

Ovaj proces rezultira i sporim taloženjem koksa na stjenkama reaktora. To smanjuje efikasnost reaktora, pa se uvjeti u reaktoru konstruiraju na način da se taloženje koksa minimizira. Bez obzira na to, peć može biti u pogonu samo nekoliko mjeseci između dvaju dekoksiranja. Dekoksiraje zahtjeva izoliranje peći iz pogona kako bi se kroz svitke u peći pustila vruća para ili mješavina pare i zraka. Ovaj postupak pretvara tvrdi sloj ugljika u ugljikov monoksid ili ugljikov dioksid. Kada je reakcija završena peć se vraća u pogon.

Katalitičke metode
Proces katalitičkog krekiranja uključuje prisustvo kiselog katalizatora, uobičajeno krute kiseline kao što su spojevi aluminija i silicija ili zeoliti. Da bi se postiglo raspadanje, pare ugljikovodika moraju se pri određenoj temperaturi dovesti u kontakt s katalizatorom. Pri tome se stvaraju plinovi, koks i ugljikovodici, kao i kod termičkog krekiranja.

Fluid katalitičko krekiranje
Fluid katalitičko krekiranje (FCC) jedan je od najvažnijih oblika konverzije koji se koristi u rafinerijama nafte. Uvelike se koristi kako bi se teške visoko molekularne ugljikovodične frakcije sirove nafte s visokim vrelištem preinačile u više vrijedni benzin, olefinske plinove i ostale produkte. Fluid katalitičko krekiranje gotovo je u potpunosti zamijenilo termičko krekiranje zbog toga što proizvodi više benzina s višim oktanskim brojem. Također, kao nusprodukte prozvodi plinove koji su više olefinski, stoga, i više vrijedni od onih dobivenih termičkim krekiranjem.

Sirovina za FCC obično je sirova nafta koja ima početnu točku vrelišta na 340 °C ili više pri atmosferskom tlaku i prosječnu relativnu molekularnu masu u rasponu od 200 do 600. Ovaj dio sirove nafte često se odnosi na teška plinska ulja ili vakuumska plinska ulja (HVGO). FCC proces isparava i razbija dugolančane molekule ugljikovodičnih tekućina s visokim vrelištem na mnogo kraće molekule tako što dovodi sirovinu, pri visokoj temperaturi i umjerenom tlaku, u kontakt s fluidiziranim praškastim katalizatorom.

U prijašnjim procesim koristili su se aluminijski katalizatori, a u upotrebi su i danas u srednjim školama i fakultetskim laboratorijima u pokusima o alkenima i alkanima.

U novijim konstrukcijama, krekiranje se odvija korištenjem vrlo aktivnog katalizatora na bazi zeolita u vertikalnoj ili nagore skošenoj cijevi zvanoj "podizač". Prethodno zagrijana sirovina nasprejana je u bazu podizača putem mlaznica gdje dotiče ekstremno vrući fluidizirani katalizator zagrijan na 666 do 760 °C. Vrući katalozator isparava sirovinu i ubrzava reakciju krekiranja koja razbija visoko molekularnu tešku naftu na lakše komponente uključujući LPG, benzin i dizel. Smjesa katalizator-ugljikovodik teče još nekoliko sekundi uspravno kroz podizač te se nakon toga razdvaja pomoću ciklonskog separatora. Slobodni ugljikovodici (oni koji nisu reagirali s katalizatorom) odvore se u kolonu za rektifikaciju u kojoj se separiraju na loživo ulje, laka ciklička goriva koja se koriste u mlaznom gorivu i dizelu te na teško loživo ulje.  Tijekom reagiranja koks se taloži na katalizator čime se smanjuje njegova aktivnost te katalizator pada u regenerator iz kojeg ga ponovo uzdiže struja komprimiranog zraka (u nekim slučajevima smjesa zraka i kisika). Koks izgara u struji zraka te se na taj način katalizator regenerira za ponovnu upotrebu, ali i postiže potrebnu temperaturu za sljedeći reakcijski ciklus.

Benzin dobiven FCC metodom ima povišen oktanski broj, međutim, manje je kemijski stabilan u odnosu na ostale benzinske komponente zbog velikog udjela olefinskih ugljikovodika. Olefini u gorivu odgovorni su za polimerne naslage u spremnicima goriva.

Hidrokrekiranje
Hidrokrekiranje je proces krekiranja u prisutnosti vodika. Koristi se bifunkcionalni katalizator koji istodobno pospješuje reakcije krekiranja i hidrogenacije ugljikovodika. Kao katalizatori koriste se najčešće zeoliti uz metalne okside i sulfide (Co-Mo, Ni-Mo). Poznat je veći broj izvedbi procesa (jednostupanjski i višestupanjski), a primjenjuju se s ciljem konverzije šireg spektra lakih i teških frakcija u vrijednije proizvode. Produkti su najčešće zasićeni ugljikovodici, a ovisno o uvjetima u kojima se odvija reakcija (temperatura, tlak, aktivnost katalizatora) oni mogu varirati od etana, LPG-a pa sve do težih ugljikovodika koji se sastoje od izoparafina.

Glavni produkti koji se dobivaju hidrokrekiranjem su mlazno gorivo i dizel, ali i frakcije nafte s niskim udjelom sumpora i LPG. Svi ovi proizvodi imaju jako nizak sadržaj sumpora i ostalih zagađivača. Koristi se najviše u Europi i Aziji jer ta dva kontinenta imaju najveće potrebe za dizelom i kerozinom, dok se fluid katalitičko krekiranje koristi najviše u SAD-u zbog velike potrebe za benzinom.

It's so quick to make multi-layered flowers like this one when you have punches to help you out. I used a watercolor brush and Crisp Cantaloupe ink to color some watercolor paper, which I punched out with the Pansy punch. I also used the new Dictionary background stamp to stamp Baked Brown Sugar ink on the Baked Brown Sugar card stock. The splatters come from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. This is a note-card sized card — 3-1/2″ x 5″.
Last week was my last as a guest designer for the Paper Players. I don't really have to worry about withdrawal too much though, as I still plan on participating in many of their challenges as a participant. You just won't see my cards for that posted here on Sundays anymore. You can go check out what the challenge for this week is here.
Stamp sets that have coordinating punches are so much fun! They make creating so much easier and faster. I have been enjoying playing with the new Flower Shop stamp set and the coordinating Pansy Punch. I also used the new Dictionary Background stamp on the Soft Sky card base. Love this!
I was also playing around with some different color combinations, and I decided that I really like this one — Soft Sky, Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, and Smoky Slate. I threw in a little Pear Pizzazz for the leaves as well.

I just got back from seeing the movie and I thought it was really good. To be honest, since I've been anticipating seeing it, and really looking forward to it, and being very excited about it, I was worried that it wouldn't meet my expectations. Luckily I thought it was really good. I will say, however, that it is an adventure movie. Ready for adventure?
Everybody should know the story by now: Alice Kingsley is expected to marry an overbearing young man that she isn't really into, and when he proposes to her, she excuses herself and takes a side trip down the rabbit hole. But in doing so, Alice jumps out of the proverbial frying pan and into the fire. Once in Underland (Wonderland) again, she is pulled into an adventure where she is expected to do other things she'd really rather not do by some characters that she can barely understand. Like the books, everything works by its own logic (or illogic, as the case may be) and Alice plays the part of the "straight man" by being serious and sensible in the face of madness.
The movie has its weak points. For example, I felt let down by the Tea Party. I was expecting something more like the book or the Tea Party in the 1952 Disney adaptation. Both are silly and maddening. While Burton pays homage to the 1952 Disney version by having the March Hare pour some tea "into" a tea cup with a broken bottom and some other nonsense like that, the Tea Party in this movie is squandered to provide some background information about current events in Underland. Both my guest and I felt let down by the Futterwacking, especially after so much had been made of it. I don't know about anybody else, but I also felt like the movie was "rushed" and could have used some more attention or time in some scenes. *Whew* OK that was a lot - let's look at the good things.
Things I really loved: The Cheshire Cat is amazingly cool, has mysterious dialogue, is an intriguing character, and is awesomely animated. The Bandersnatch is horrifying, sad, and (surprise) complex. Helena Bonham Carter is a hoot as the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway totally hams up the prim fairy queenliness of the White Queen. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter is by turns tender, mad, sad, haunted, and crazy. There are also: talking animals, laboring monkeys, a horrifying moat crossing, a menacing performance by Crispin Glover, some white-knuckle bravery, some men acting like pigs, some emotional depth, and some arguments that end only when one of the parties involved manages to makes absolutely no sense. The architecture of the palaces is amazing. Alice rides several creatures in the movie and each time it is exhilarating.
On a basic level, I think Tim Burton's movie is about a girl searching for her identity. Alice's identity is questioned at the very beginning by the Dormouse and other characters. At first Alice claims to be "The Alice" but then chickens out. When consulted about her identity, the Caterpillar says that she is "Not Yet Alice." Later in the movie, Alice deceives the Red Queen by claiming to be someone named "Um." All along, Alice is either too big or too small. It is as if she needs to get "right-sized." As the story unfolds, Alice finds herself walking the line between what she thinks is right and what everyone else in the story expects of her. I don't know how anyone else feels about it, but I liked this extra level of meaning, and I also liked the extremes that Alice has to traverse to find her own answers.
As a bonus, Alice also gets to wear a bunch of beautiful and amazing dresses and outfits. Much kudos to costume designer Colleen Atwood for these and the other costumes in the film. Last, as everyone seems to agree, the 3D and animation is really amazing and Underland is dazzlingly cool and dark. If you're going to see Alice in Wonderland with the expectation that it will be everything you would expect a masterpiece based on Lewis Carroll's timeless books to be, you might come out disappointed. BUT if you're looking for a fun adventure about a girl who is trying to find herself, then you're in for a fun ride.
What did you think? Leave a comment here or send in a review to alice@coldcold.com. I'll publish any reviews received on a special review page. If you have a blog and review the movie, drop me a line and I'll link to your review.
Hooray! Tim Burton's amazingly bizarre 'Alice in Wonderland' helped snap me out of my 2010 movie doldrums.

Tim Sheens warns Hull KR to stop clocking off if Super League to be reached
The Rovers coach wasn't happy with his side's display after earning a commanding lead
Gareth Westmorland
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from HullLive - Hull KR
Tim Sheens says his Hull KR side can ill-afford to 'clock off' in the remaining four Super League Qualifiers after accusing his side of time-watching in the win over London Broncos.
Rovers led 33-14 with 20 minutes remaining at KCOM Craven Park before the Broncos hit back to ensure a nervy finale.
The hosts eventually held on for a 35-30 victory to ensure an unbeaten start to the middle 8s but coach Sheens was disappointed with the way his side ended the encounter.
Praising his outfit for the way they attacked in the opening hour, the Robins boss hopes that the way yesterday's match ended will act as a stark reminder that nothing is a certainty in the Qualifiers, as KR enter a week's break for the Challenge Cup final in second-place, level on points with Super League outfit Warrington Wolves.
"I'm not taking anything away from London but we allowed that comeback to happen," Sheens told the Mail.
Hull KR remain on course for Super League as unbeaten record continues with London Broncos win
"We had 93 per cent completion in the opening half, and it means a lot to a coach, using only two subs in the opening half. All of a sudden, we clocked off and looked at the clock. Guys started saying 'I'm tired' and 'I want to come off'. That was a bit disappointing.
"At the end of the day the wins are all that matters. We expected them to come back and once they got a simple try (James Cunningham's score) they lifted and we were starting to look at the clock.
Hull KR v London Broncos
"We've discussed it and it's something we have to overcome. The first two weeks we were behind in both and played for the entire 80 minutes. But this week, we got a good lead, shut down and nearly blow it.
"The week off comes at a great time, for everyone in this competition but it's what the boys do in this time that will make the difference. Six weeks' time is their off-season, this isn't a break for them and we will be doing work on the training park.
"At the moment, we're still a million miles off. Everyone is thinking 'Yes' but there is plenty of expectation on the club and that puts pressure on the boys. For me, three from three is a great start and we have to reload now for the next four."
Sheens confirmed that Nick Scruton missed out with a muscle tear to the knee, and Andrew Heffernan was unable to return to the field after a concussion injury.
However the pair, along with Thomas Minns (dead leg) and Adam Quinlan (knee) should be fit for the trip to Featherstone on Sunday week.

David Hogg calls for boycott of top investment firms over links to gunmakers
By Avery Anapol - 04/17/18 04:38 PM EDT
Parkland, Fla., shooting survivor David Hogg is calling for a boycott of two major investment management companies over their ties to gun manufacturers.
Hogg, who has become a prominent gun control activist after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February, urged his social media followers to make their feelings known to BlackRock and Vanguard.
.@blackrock and @Vanguard_Group are two of the biggest investors in gun manufacturers; if you use them, feel free to let them know. Thanks
— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) April 17, 2018
Hogg was the focus of national media attention earlier this month after he sparked an advertiser boycott of Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
Ingraham drew criticism after posting a tweet mocking Hogg for being rejected from four colleges. In response, Hogg tweeted out a list of companies who advertised on her show.
In the weeks following the spat, more than 20 companies pulled their advertisements from "The Ingraham Angle." Ingraham apologized to Hogg, but he refused to accept, saying that she was only trying to save her advertisers.
BlackRock and Vanguard, along with several other companies, have faced scrutiny over their investments in gun manufacturers in the wake of the shooting. Sen. Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth WarrenDemocrats call on Biden administration to ease entry to US for at-risk Afghans Biden stiff arms progressives on the Postal Service Trump by the numbers: 2024 isn't simple MORE (D-Mass.) earlier this year named them in a letter calling for gun company shareholders to demand change in the arms industry after the shooting.

The Use Of Mathematics In Computer Games
Each of your computer's components is evaluated to see how well it meets the minimum and recommended requirements for specific products. Recommendations are made on how to update or upgrade each component which does not meet the listed requirements. Sometimes you'll find that you need a different video card to fully experience what the game has to offer. While leading Sega and Nintendo console systems kept their CPU speed at 3–7MHz, the 486 PC processor ran much faster, allowing it to perform many more calculations per second. The 1993 release of Doom on the PC was a breakthrough in 3D graphics, and was soon ported to various game consoles in a general shift toward greater realism. Why Tech Giants Are Investing Millions In Ai That Can Play Video Games The Ridge Racer series may not carry Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport's swagger, but the long-running franchise has a dedicated fan base that loves the drift-centric racing action.

Others have argued that some issues are simply too politically sensitive for courts to intervene in (e.g., the president's war-making powers). If courts become embroiled in ordinary political disputes and are seen as just another political actor trying to advance its ideology, interests, and preferences, then the legitimacy of the institution can be gravely damaged. Supreme Court intervened in the 2000 presidential election and, ultimately, determined the winner.

Centre, farmers set to resume talks over agri laws, MSP tomorrow; protesters endure heavy rains, cold weather
3 January 2021, 10:44 am ·11-min read
The Centre and farmer groups are set to resume talks tomorrow (Monday, 4 January) to break the deadlock over the the contentious agriculture laws being protested by thousands of farmers at Delhi's borders.
A day ahead of the resumption of talks, the farmers had to face heavy and continuous rainfall on Sunday morning.
Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh have been protesting the Centre's laws for over a month despite the cold weather and COVID-19 pandemic.
Two of their main demands is the withdrawal of the laws and a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP). However, several rounds with the delegation of Union ministers, led by Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, have failed to yield a consensus.
The two sides are scheduled to hold the seventh round of talks at 2 pm on Monday.
On Sunday, Tomar met Union defence minister Rajnath Singh and discussed the government strategy to resolve the current crisis at the earliest, PTI quoted sources as saying. Tomar discussed with Singh "all possible options" to find a "middle path" to resolve the crisis.
Rajnath, who served as agriculture minister in the erstwhile Atal Bihari Vajpayee cabinet, has emerged as a key troubleshooter and is working mostly behind the scenes on this issue, the report added.
Meanwhile, speaking to reporters on Sunday, farmer leaders at the Singhu border said they will celebrate the festival of Lohri on 13 January by burning copies of the newly introduced agriculture laws.
Farmers brave cold weather, water-logged tents
Waterlogged tents, soaked firewood and blankets, and cold conditions €" farmers camping at Delhi borders in protest against new farm laws had a difficult morning on Sunday due to overnight rains.
The continuous downpour led to waterlogging at agitation venues and waterproof tents did not help much, PTI quoted protesters as saying.
Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar, who is a member of the Sankyukt Kisan Morcha, said farmers have waterproof tents, but that they cannot protect from biting cold and waterlogging.
"The situation is very bad at protest sites due to rain which has caused waterlogging. There is so much cold after the rains, but the government is not able to see our misery," he said.
Gurwinder Singh, who is camping at the Singhu Border, said there is waterlogging at some places as civic facilities are not up to the mark but asserted that the weather will not dampen the spirit of farmers who have been protesting for over a month.
"Despite facing several problems, we will not move from here until our demands are met," he said.
According to an IMD official, heavy rainfall was reported in areas across Delhi and minimum temperatures have increased due to clouding and easterly winds.
"Safdarjung observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 9.9 degrees Celsius.., with 25 mm rain. Palam observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 11.4 degrees Celsius with 18 mm rain. Rain with hail storm is expected until 6 January," the official said.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) leader Sukhdev Singh at the Tikri border said arrangements made by farmers to brave the cold weather are not helping much because of rains and subsequent waterlogging.
Veerpal Singh, a protesting farmer, said their blankets, clothes and wood are soaked.
"Our clothes are soaked due to waterlogging caused by rains. Besides, we are facing difficulties to cook food as rain water has also soaked firewood. We do have an LPG cylinder but not everyone here has it," he said.
Dharmveer Yadav, who is camping at the Ghazipur border protest site, said farmers will not move an inch from their agitation venues.
"We are ready to face any problem, be it heavy rain or storm, but we will not leave this place in any condition until our demands are met," Yadav said.
Rainwater also entered camps at Burari ground and the protesters were seen draining the water out and rearranging their belongings to prevent from soaking in water.
Sukhwinder Singh, joint secretary of Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee Punjab, said, "This is the time when we sow wheat. We work in our fields during night and early hours in Punjab where the temperature is even below the mercury is here. This would not hamper the courage of farmer."
Gurmel Singh from Patiala district of Punjab, said, "We have not been affected by the rains. We have covered our tractor trollies completely."
Avatar Singh from Ambala district of Haryana said, "We had made our arrangements considering the possibility of rains. The grain is completely safe and under the tent. But the rains have only created mud due to which people are facing difficulty in walking. We are cleaning the area and trying to clear waterlogging."
Will burn copies of new farm laws on Lohri, say farmer leaders
Accusing the Centre of being "stubborn" over the issue, farmer leaders also said that they will observe the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on 23 January as Azad Hind Kisan Diwas'.
"We will celebrate the Lohri festival on January 13 by burning the copies of farm laws, farmers' leader Manjeet Singh Rai added. Rai also urged people to hold protests in support of farmers across India from 6 to 20 January.
Lohri is mostly celebrated in north India, marking the beginning of the spring season. Bonfires are a special characteristic of the festival
Another farmers' leader Onkar Singh said, "Today is the 37th day of our protest. The government should leave its stubbornness. In these conditions, the farmers, including elders, have been sitting on protest, but the government is not concerned about it."
"As the temperature is decreasing, we have tried to arrange the waterproof tents. We are also trying to arrange the blankets and warm water.
Arrangements for 1,000 women have been made near the KFC with a tent and the mattresses, farmers' leader Harmeet Singh Kadian said.
Three more protesting farmers die at Delhi borders
Three more farmers, who were part of the protests at the Delhi borders against the Centre's new farm laws, have died, police said on Sunday.
One of the farmers died of cardiac arrest, another was suffering from fever while the cause of the death of the third farmer could only be ascertained after post-mortem, PTI reported.
The deceased were identified as Shamsher Singh (around 45 years of age), a resident of Lidhra village in Punjab''s Sangrur district, Jashandeep Singh (18), a resident of Chauke village in Punjab''s Bathinda district, and Jagbir Singh (60), a resident of Jind in Haryana, the police said.
Shamsher was part of the protests at the Singhu border, while Jagbir was participating in the agitation at the Tikri border. Shamsher had complained of chest pain on Sunday morning, a police official said, adding that the cause of his death could only be established after post-mortem.
Jagbir passed away at the Tikri border, an official of the Bahadurgarh police station said. He died of a heart attack, the police official said, adding that the body was handed over to his family after post-mortem.
Jashandeep died on Saturday evening, the police said, adding that he had gone to support the agitating farmers at the Tikri border. Jashandeep was suffering from fever and was taken to the PGIMS, Rohtak, where he breathed his last.
Every farmer-labourer is a 'satyagrahi', says Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday compared the ongoing farmers' protests against the three new Central agriculture-related laws with the Champaran agitation during the British rule, and said every farmer-labourer part of the current movement is a 'satyagrahi' and they will take their rights back.
"The country is going to face a Champaran-like tragedy. British were 'company Bahadur' back then and now Modi-friends are 'company Bahadur'," Rahul alleged in a tweet in Hindi.
"But, every farmer-labourer of the movement is a 'satyagrahi' who will take back their rights," the former Congress chief said.
The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was led by Mahatma Gandhi and is considered a historic event in India's independence movement.
It was a farmer's uprising that took place in Champaran district of Bihar during the British colonial period when the farmers protested having to grow indigo with barely any payment for it.
In another tweet, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Modi government which is unable to give legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) to farmers is giving "fixed price to its industrialist friends to run foodgrain godowns".
Government Mandis are either being closed down or food grains are not being purchased, he alleged.
"Why the lack of attention to farmers and sympathy for suit-boot friends," Gandhi said in the tweet in Hindi.
The Congress has been seeking the repeal of the three new farm laws, alleging that they will ruin farming and the farmers. The Congress is also supporting the farmers' agitation against the legislations.
'Will intensify stir if talks fail'
In a statement issued on Friday, farmer groups, upping the ante, said that they will start shutting all malls and petrol pumps in Haryana if the government fails to resolve their main demands in the 4 January meeting.
Addressing a press conference at the Singhu border protest site on Friday, representatives of farmer unions said that only five percent of the issues raised by them have so far been discussed in meetings with the government.
They outlined multiple protest actions over a month if their main demands are not met, in an announcement a few days before Republic Day celebrations.
Farmer leader Yudhveer Singh said if the central government thinks the farmers' protest will go the Shaheen Bagh way, then it is mistaken.
"They (government) cannot make us leave this place like they did in Shaheen Bagh," he said.
Hundreds of protesters had camped at Shaheen Bagh for several months against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The site was cleared by the Delhi Police following the coronavirus-induced lockdown in March last year.
At the press conference, farmer leaders made it clear that they will have to take firm steps if the government does not take a decision in their favour in the 4 January meeting.
Swaraj India leader Yogendra Yadav said that the government has not moved an inch on the two main issues: repeal of three agri laws and legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP).
He claimed that the government has denied giving in-principle commitment to the issue of legal guarantee for MSP.
Spelling out their next course of action, Yadav said that while talks with the Union government will go on, farmer unions will intensify the protest simultaneously and take it to every corner of the country.
"If the January 4 meeting with the government fails to end the deadlock, we will announce dates for shutting all malls, petrol pumps in Haryana," another farmer leader, Vikas, told reporters.
At a meeting of Samkyukt Kisan Morcha €" an umbrella body of around 40 farmer unions protesting at several Delhi border points €" several decisions were taken.
According to the unions, if the results of the talks on 4 January are not satisfactory, a tractor march will be taken out from the protest site to the Kundli Manesar Palwal (KMP) Expressway on 6 January and a call will also be given to those farmers protesting at Shahjahanpur on the Haryana-Rajasthan border to move towards Delhi
Rallies, dharnas, sit-ins and press conferences will be ogranised across the country from 6 January to 20 January to counter the alleged government propaganda that the protest was Punjab-centric.
Farmers will celebrate Women's Day on 18 January and the modalities will be discussed later, farmer leaders said, adding that programmes will be held on to mark birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on 23 January.
After the sixth round of formal negotiations on 30 December, the government and farm unions reached some common ground to resolve protesting farmers' concerns over rise in power tariff and penalties for stubble burning, but the two sides remained deadlocked over the main contentious issues of the repeal of three farm laws and a legal guarantee for MSP.
After the talks between three union ministers and a 41-member representative group of thousands of farmers protesting on Delhi borders, Tomar said at least 50 percent resolution has been reached with mutual agreement on two out of four items on the agenda and discussions would continue on the remaining two on 4 January at 2 pm.
Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab and Haryana, are protesting at various borders of the national capital for more than a month against these three new laws.
The government has presented these laws as major agriculture reforms aimed at helping farmers and increasing their income, but the protesting unions fear that the new legislations have left them at the mercy of big corporates by weakening the MSP and mandi systems.

WW1 Royal Army Chaplains Depart Historically Important Attributed Cap.
This cap is attributed Father John Gwynn SJ (Society of Jesus ) who at the outbreak of war volunteered his services straight away and by the 1st week of November was granted the rank of Chaplain 4th Class and landed in France attached to the 1st Bn Irish Guards, earning the 1914 Star. He would become the first Irish Jesuit Father to be killed in the Great War.
The cap is the pre war Officer stiff pattern, with leather lining to the crown of the interior. This lining with original ink name and various locations, presumed where Father Gwynn served including Ypres, etc. The cap is complete with cap badge, thin black leather chinstrap and a Rifle pattern button.
The cap has had a hard life, there is evidence of a second cap badge having been worn, this possible an off the shelf Rifle Regiment purchase cap and badge changed at time of purchase for his own badge. This possibly supported by the incorrect button present, which appears to be original. The second button is absent but the chinstrap has been contemporary stitched in place during its working life. Half the sweatband is removed. Retains a good shape and a fine display item. A contemporary photograph has been located on the internet which shows Father Gwynn wearing what appears to be this cap, taken in July 1915.
Father John Gwynn SJ military age is given at 44, in fact he was 50 years old. He was known as a powerful and eloquent preacher at the Sacred Heart Church and at St. Francis Xavier's Church in Dublin. At the outbreak of the war he volunteered his services and at haste appears to have been attached to the 1st Bn Irish Guards, landing in France before the 22nd November and earning the 1914 Star. He was popular with the Regiment and faced danger like the men he ministered. He would accompany them into the trenches and place himself in the forward Regimental Aid Post and casualty clearing stations, it is worth noting at this time helmets were not issued and this cap would be his only head protection. On the 6 February 1915, Father Gwynn was slightly wounded by a shell that burst near him. However, he remained on duty. On the 11th October 1915 he was wounded when a shell landed in the door of the Headquarter dug-out he received one or two wounds in the leg, as well as a piece of shell in his back through his lung. He was immediately bound up and sent to hospital, but died from shock and his injuries at 8 a.m. the next morning, October 12th. He was buried in the cemetery at Bethune, at 10 a.m. on October 13th. May.


Holocaust survivor Paul Kessler and his mother hid in a pit behind a farmhouse for months until the Russians liberated the region in Slavakia. The farmer who hid them put his own life in considerable danger, providing them with food and keeping them safe until the area was liberated.
Today, Paul speaks to school children who visit the Museum and tells his personal story of survival, suffering, and hope. He talks about the civility shown by the farmer who was the perfect example of an Upstander. Support the DHM/CET so more children can learn not only the tragedy of the Holocaust and say, "Never again".
Today in Poland — long road trip to Chelmno, where 300,000 people died by being driven on "gas vans". They were loaded naked into these vans, 60 at a time, and driven 4 km down a road while fumes were pumped into the van to kill them. There bodies were dumped in mass graves. They used 16 of these vans running constantly to murder that many people. It defies explanation.
The second part of the day, though, was much more upbeat — meeting with survivors who were all children during the Holocaust. They were awesome! I will tell more about them soon. Thanks again for following this journey!

The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced changes to the girls state basketball tournament and individual wrestling state championships in March 2020 on Tuesday.
Because of facility availability and other factors, the girls basketball tournament and individual wrestling tournament will be held the same weekend.
The wrestling tournament will be changed to a Friday through Sunday event, March 13-15, at the Schottenstein Center at Ohio State University.
The site for the girls state basketball tournament will be moved to a site to be determined.
That weekend in 2020 will also include the state ice hockey finals at Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus and boys and girls Division I state bowling tournament, at Wayne Webb's Columbus Bowling.
"Recently we moved the wrestling state tournament a week later so we aren't competing with the Arnold Sports Festival downtown and use of the Schott by the OSU men's ice hockey team in their postseason," said Jerry Snodgrass, OHSAA executive director in a press release. "We had already published the future basketball season calendars for several years and we determined we couldn't move the basketball seasons a week later right away, so for these next few years, the wrestling and girls basketball state tournaments will be on the same weekend."
"Starting the state tournament on Friday has been an internal discussion point for a long time," said Tyler Brooks, OHSAA Director of Sport Management and the OHSAA's wrestling administrator. "Starting on Friday will mean less school and work time will be missed by those coming to the state tournament. This will also help with the state tournament staff and the Schottenstein Center's staff working the event. In addition, the change will help avoid traffic and parking congestion on Thursday around the OSU campus, especially the nearby OSU medical center, which uses some of the Schottenstein Center parking lots and other nearby parking areas."
Brooks said the OHSAA will make modifications to the state tournament schedule so the championship matches on Sunday evening conclude in a timely manner, allowing participants and fans to return home Sunday night if they so choose.
The girls state basketball tournament has been held in Columbus every year since its inception in 1976, with the exception of 1986, when it was held at Rhodes Arena on the campus of the University of Akron. It was moved to the Schottenstein Center in 2000 and held there every year except for 2005, when it was held at St. John Arena because the Ohio State ice hockey team was hosting its conference tournament the same weekend.

Minty by Ragini Singh : A young, inspirational woman entrepreneur expert in block printing.
Sahar Murad September 21, 2020
Ragini Singh, a young lady who had keen interest in art and design as a little girl but never took it seriously is today an artist and an entrepreneur. She completed her BA in Economics from St Xaviers then worked for a year with an analytical consulting firm and finally pursued her masters in psychoanalysis at Ambedkar University. In 2017, she got the idea of 'MINTY'. Ragini explains that this idea of starting her own business in block printing helped her to rediscover her creative side. The name 'MINTY' reflects something fresh, new and different, just like her prints.
Ragini told us that Minty is a sustainable lifestyle brand whose primary focus is block printing. Ragini, as an entrepreneur, looks forward to collaborating with artisans who specialize in working with pure, natural and herbal dyes. Being the creative head, she draws her unique, creative and original patterns from scratch. The design language of the brand is inspired by Art Deco and bohemian tribal motifs. Minty also launched their very own online store on the 15th of August 2020 and at present their products are stocked in 4 stores -'Ambara' in Bangalore , 'Pastiche' in Kolkata, 'Pepper House' in Fort Kochi and 'Hunab Ku' in Adelaide, Australia.
"For me success lies In achieving one's purpose. The purpose of the brand is to be synonymous with "sustainable luxury". This can only happen when as producers and consumers we are more aware of the choices that we make when it comes to fashion and lifestyle."
Ragini Singh
Ragini adds that MINTY's main aim is promoting hand work and craftsmanship which generates employment and alters the rate of production and consumption to align itself with nature. Sustainability in every sense is of prime importance.
She states that her artisans are her pillar of strength and she has learned a lot from them.
She also talked to us about her online store which she launched a month ago. The novelty of the brand which reflects in the prints and the unique colours are what drives the customers towards the brand. Other brands like Vraj Bhoomi, Rasa and Chidiyaa are a few that Ragini looks up to in the industry. She feels her advantage is that she's done away with chemical dyes completely which other brands will have to resort to, sooner or later given the environmental concerns. According to her, the prints by 'Minty' are a complete game changer when it comes to block printing.
"As of now I'm only into standardisation. However at a later stage I'm looking to customise. I think customisation helps in pushing one's creative boundaries , provided the business is at a stage where it can take those creative liberties and risks. Standardisation helps in setting systems."
In 5 years Ragini would love for MINTY to be one of the big players of sustainable luxury lifestyle brands. She would also want it to be a part of unique multi designer stores which support the idea of sustainability in India and abroad. Fortunately, with their Adelaide store collaboration, they are already on that path.
Ragini has come a long way from her initial point and her dream is to go higher and higher. She stands as an inspiration to many people all over the world and she wants everyone to keep believing in themselves, your dedication and commitment will pay off.

Miesięcznik został założony przez Waltera Grossa w 1933 roku. Osiągnął nakład 300 000 egzemplarzy.

Poruszana tematyka
Jednym z głównych wątków było głoszenie wyższości rasy aryjskiej nad Żydami, Polakami i innymi grupami narodowościowymi.

Pojawiały się w niej także inne treści, jak np. sylwetka Mussoliniego, sprawozdania z obozów Hitlerjugend oraz porady dla turystów, niemniej jednak rasowa i eugeniczna propaganda zajmowała najwięcej miejsca.

Sześć pierwszych numerów było głównie poświęconych etnicznej wyższości Niemców.

W następnym, siódmym wydaniu jeden z artykułów prezentował typy "Żyda kryminalisty", skontrastowane zdjęciami "idealnych Aryjczyków".

Artykuły o podobnej  tematyce ukazywały się często. Pojawiały się także tematy ekonomiczne - ubolewano nad eliminowaniem tradycyjnego niemieckiego chłopstwa przez Żydów.

W miesięczniku publikowano artykuły broniące sterylizacji eugenicznej.
Porównywano zdjęcia dzieci chorych umysłowo z tymi przedstawiającymi zdrowe; przedstawiano również idealne aryjskie rodziny i wyśmiewano bezdzietne pary.

Po wprowadzeniu ustaw norymberskich, "Neues Volk" namawiał do nieokazywania sympatii Żydom oraz prezentował artykuły ukazujące życie Żydów w niekorzystnym świetle.

W połowie lat trzydziestych czasopismo podwoiło liczbę stron i znacznie więcej miejsca zaczęło poświęcać Żydom.

Inne artykuły opisywały warunki, jakie trzeba było spełnić, aby honorowym ojcem chrzestnym dziecka był Adolf Hitler, omawiały także znaczenie nadawania dzieciom niemieckich imion, odpowiadały na pytania dotyczące rasy od czytelników.

Podczas II wojny światowej pisano np. o tym, że zagraniczni pracownicy byli chętnie przyjmowani, ale nie mogli utrzymywać relacji seksualnych z Niemcami.

Montreal, May 9, 2017 – Leaving yet again the beaten path, Wapikoni Mobile expands its activities across Canada and visits Indigenous communities in which it hadn't been able to stop in the past.
Indeed, in 2017 Wapikoni Mobile's travelling training and creation studios are driving towards 21 communities, doubling their usual number of stopovers. They will stop in Quebec, but also New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. It is also worth noting that Wapikoni will also fly to Norway and spend August 23 to September 1st with a Sami community.
These new adventures will be Wapikoni's first opportunity to collaborate with the Metis nation as well as many Western Canada First Nations. It will also allow them to build bridges with minority language communities all over the country in the hope of fostering togetherness and dialogue.
Accompanied by two filmmaker-mentors, a junior First Nations trainer, a youth outreach worker and a coordinator from the community, the participants are trained in screenwriting, directing and in the numerous technical aspects of filmmaking (camera, sound recording and editing) with cutting edge equipment. Each participant benefits from mentoring adapted to his or her experience and pace of learning for a period of four weeks.
Three mobile studios, one more than last year, will help Indigenous youth create their own short films and/or record original songs. These creative works depicting their world, their reality, their struggles, and the incredible richness of their culture and humour, are then shown in the community at the end of the stopover before starting their international festival run.
Meanwhile a caravan equipped with exterior projection equipment and staffed by two facilitators has started to travel east from Vancouver, covering 10 Canadian provinces and stopping in 100 Indigenous communities and 50 cities. The screenings will be in English, French and Indigenous languages.
The Wapikoni, Cinema on Wheels tour is part of "Wapikoni From Coast to Coast: Reconciliation Through the Media Arts", a project under the patronage of the Canadian Commission for UNESCO and supported by the Government of Canada.
"Through the project "Wapikoni from Coast to Coast: Building Bridges and Reconciliation through Media Arts", young Indigenous Canadians will have the opportunity to be heard and to exchange ideas. The audiovisual and musical creative workshops will give young creators the chance to express themselves, and the resulting works will be presented in several communities across the country. Let's take advantage of the 150th anniversary of Confederation to have a positive dialogue and to strengthen relations between us all," said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Wapikoni Mobile is a travelling audiovisual and musical creation studio dedicated to Indigenous youth. Since 2004, Wapikoni has visited over 20 communities and accompanied 4,300 participants who worked to direct close to 1,000 short films translated into several languages. These films have received 142 awards and honours at national and international festivals.
