From 28 September to 4 October 2015, the Biodiversity and Community Health (BaCH) Initiative (coordinated by UNU-IAS) jointly with the multi-donor funded ABS Capacity Development Initiative, the Transdisciplinary University (TDU) of the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Tradition (FRLHT), the UNDP Equator Initiative, the National Biodiversity Authority of India and partners, will conduct the Community-to-Community Exchange and Capacity Development Workshop for Traditional Knowledge Holders on ABS.
The event will take place in Bangalore, India and includes field visits within three South Indian states (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala), and a workshop, whose design involves interactive, participatory sessions amidst community members and other stakeholder expert representatives.
The Nagoya Protocol (NP) on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ABS) emphasizes the need to take into consideration community protocols on access, utilization and benefit sharing with regard to traditional knowledge (TK) associated with genetic resources (GR). Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) have high levels of knowledge related to identification of those GR that are utilized in the community for different purposes, especially medicine, food and nutrition, as well as other wellbeing related purposes. This provides a good starting point to raise awareness on sustainable utilization patterns and the potential benefits of establishing value chains with external actors. In particular, it offers an opportunity to explore the development of small and medium scale enterprises that can be developed at the community level through appropriate R&D.
Being one of the pioneering countries in ABS, many examples have been created in India on how IPLCs can participate in ABS and the conservation, protection and valorisation of biodiversity and TK. In Africa too, more and more communities are actively engaging in the protection, conservation and valorisation of their TK and the associated genetic resources, e.g. by elaborating biocultural community protocols (BCPs) or by setting up value chains with external actors on the basis of the ABS principles. IPLCs are also increasingly engaging in national processes of ABS strategy development and the elaboration of the related regulatory frameworks and administrative systems.
The upcoming meeting will bring together about 70 stewards of biodiversity and associated knowledge, especially related to health and wellbeing to discuss the diversity of local innovations in the field of ABS and the conservation, protection and valorisation of biodiversity and TK in India, African countries and Central Asia. The event will offer a unique platform to increase the understanding of the relevance of the CBD principles on ABS and the implementation of the NP at the local level and provide an opportunity for developing partnerships among different stakeholders globally.
Please note that this event will be on invitation only, but we will be sharing all updates here!

Ambry Genetics Makes Scientific Breakthrough and Launches Paired RNA and DNA Testing for Hereditary Cancer
Ambry Genetics
1 Enterprise
+RNAinsight™ will help identify thousands more patients at increased risk for cancer
(Aliso Viejo, CA) October 1, 2019: Ambry Genetics® (Ambry), a leading clinical genetic testing company, announced today the launch of +RNAinsight™, a major advancement in genetic testing. +RNAinsight enables clinicians – for the first time ever – to conduct both DNA and RNA genetic testing at the same time. Substantially more often than DNA testing alone, this paired testing identifies whether someone has a genetic mutation that either increases their risk for developing cancer or that may have contributed to their existing cancer. This is the first genetic testing advancement in over a decade to significantly increase the diagnostic yield (meaning the number of patients identified with a specific hereditary risk for cancer) in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2. Ambry is the first and only lab to offer paired RNA and DNA genetic testing for hereditary cancer.
DNA testing alone can produce inconclusive, unhelpful results on whether a genetic variant (an error in our DNA) increases the risk for cancer. Moreover, standard DNA testing for hereditary cancer excludes large portions of DNA, thereby missing variants that cause increased risks for cancer. Adding RNA to DNA testing overcomes these limitations for a significant number of patients as RNA provides considerably more evidence than DNA alone about whether the genes in our DNA have variants that cause increased risks for cancer. Clinicians can then use this information with patients and their relatives to try to prevent cancer from developing or to detect cancer early.
"We developed paired RNA and DNA testing to provide more accurate and conclusive results that patients and doctors can act on," said Aaron Elliott, PhD, CEO of Ambry Genetics. "With +RNAinsight, we not only identify mutations that DNA testing alone would miss, we also provide answers for patients who have been dealing with inconclusive results for years."
This year, almost 700,000 people in the United States are expected to turn to clinical labs for clinical-grade genetic testing to learn whether they have genetic mutations linked with increased risks of cancer. By pairing RNA and DNA testing, it is estimated +RNAinsight may help more than 16,000 of these individuals get the genetic information they need that they might not get from DNA testing alone.
In fact, +RNAinsight will actually help more than these 16,000 individuals because this number does not include their relatives who can then be tested to learn of their own increased risks. Nor does it include patients previously tested who had received inconclusive results from DNA testing alone and will now receive reclassification reports based on +RNAinsight.
"Paired RNA and DNA genetic testing is a remarkable leap forward. My patients are finally getting answers I was unable to provide before," said Huma Rana, MD, Clinical Director of Cancer Genetics and Prevention at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. "In our short time using this technology, we have made meaningful changes to patient care."
"Paired RNA and DNA testing has meant everything to me and my family in our fight against cancer, finally letting my brother, sister, and me know we have a genetic mutation that causes Lynch syndrome, which puts us at an increased risk for colorectal and uterine cancers," said Turkeesa Looper. "Past DNA tests never told us that, and now our family, including my nieces and nephews, can also take action."
A prospective analysis of the first 2,500 patients tested with paired RNA and DNA hereditary cancer testing for up to 18 genes, sent in from pilot clinical sites, resulted in a relative increase in diagnostic yield of approximately seven percent. The impact on diagnostic yield varies by gene, with some genes having a relative diagnostic yield increase of over 15%. BRCA1, PMS2, MSH2, and ATM are among the genes for which we are seeing a greater impact. Thus, paired testing will now let many more patients with mutations in high-risk cancer genes know this when DNA testing alone would not have done so. These patients will now benefit from preventive steps, early detection, reduced cancer incidence, and increased survival, as will their relatives who get tested.
Additionally, the data illustrates +RNAinsight's ability to clarify results that were previously deemed inconclusive as a result of DNA testing alone. +RNAinsight was able to decrease the number of inconclusive results across the included cancer risk genes by approximately five percent relative to DNA testing alone.
+RNAinsight builds on an earlier breakthrough in RNA genetic testing that Ambry led. For three years, Ambry has offered RNA testing retrospectively – looking at RNA after DNA testing was complete. While helpful, retrospective RNA testing has limitations that +RNAinsight does not, such as not being able to identify mutations that the earlier DNA testing failed to find and patients who are lost to follow-up.
+RNAinsight is now available through doctors and genetic counselors around the country. For more information on paired RNA and DNA testing, please go to www.ambrygen.com/RNAinsight.

News Adbri's revenue hit by lower demand in 2020
Adbri's revenue hit by lower demand in 2020
Written by Global Cement staff 24 February 2021
Australia: Adbri's revenue fell by 4% year-on-year to US$1.15bn in 2020 from US$1.20bn in 2019. Underlying earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased by 3% to US$216m from US$222m. Despite construction growth in Western Australia, cement volumes were reported as being down by 7.1%. The company said that clinker volumes dropped by 23% due to lower offtake by its Sunstake Cement joint venture partner Boral. It added that the impact of the coronavirus pandemic had been 'well managed' and that all sites remained operational.
"In the context of the challenging operating environment, the financial outcomes we delivered for the 2020 financial year are better than we had expected and reflect the successes of our cost-out and business improvement programs. Adbri also benefitted from improving demand in the Western Australian market during the period which offset slowing demand in east coast markets, particularly in New South Wales," said Nick Miller, Adbri's chief executive officer.

Floaters can look like small specks, dots, circles, semicircles, lines or cobwebs in your vision. They are often described as being similar to seeing flies or gnats. While they seem to be in front of the vision, they are actually floating inside the eye. Floaters are tiny clumps of protein or cells inside the vitreous that fills your eye.
You may notice floaters more when outside during the day, against a blue sky or white clouds, or indoors against a white background like a piece of paper or computer screen. You may notice them less at night or in a darker room.
Flashes can look like flashing lights or lightning streaks in the vision.
An appointment should be made for an dilated eye exam if you notice flashing lights and floaters. If there is loss of vision either in your central vision or in the peripheral vision then that is an emergency and you should be seen immediately.
As everyone ages, the vitreous begins to shrink and separate from the retina. This can lead clumps or strands form in the vitreous which becomes floaters. When the vitreous pulls away from the back of the eye, it is called posterior vitreous detachment. Floaters usually happen with posterior vitreous detachment.
The majority of the time a vitreous detachment occurs without complication. However between 8-26% of patients who complain about floaters associated with a posterior vitreous detachment are found to have a retinal tear on examination.
Retinal tears are a serious condition that may require treatment with laser to prevent the tear from becoming a retinal detachment which can lead to permanent vision loss and even blindness.

Horace Ott | Scott Fagan's Mem.wa?
The end of Carnival, and the Sunday Morning that follows has ALWAYS had a powerfully melancholy effect on me. I wrote "The Carnival Is Ended" in 1965-66 and recorded if for the "South Atlantic Blues" album in 1967 (The wonderful Pan Man is the incomparable Victor Brady from St. Croix) The Album was released in 1968.
Today is again the day after Carnival and I know that I am not the only one feeling as I do. Consequently, and with all the love and empathy in the world, this is for you, this is for me, this is for us, this is for we.
P.S. "South Atlantic Blues" is scheduled for World Wide Re-Release in November 2015. Please look for it. XOXOXO!

Q: Close pipe end error I have a program that forks a child and want it to communicate with its parent. However, I seem to get an error when closing the write end in the child.
The program stops inside the child and in the if (close(pfd1[1]) == -1)
Apparently it fails when the child wants to close the write end. Why?
/* Note: working under the assumption that the messages are of equal length */

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    int pfd1[2];
    char buf[BUF_SIZE];

    //checks pipefd1
    if (pipe(pfd1) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error opening pipe 1!\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Pipe opened with success. Forking ...\n");

    // child 1
    switch (fork())
    {
        case -1:
            printf("Error forking child 1!\n");
            exit(1);

        case 0:
            printf("\nChild 1 executing...\n");
            /* close writing end of first pipe */
            if (close(pfd1[1]) == -1)
            {
                printf("Error closing writing end of pipe 1.\n");
                _exit(1);
            }

            /* read from pipe 1 */
            if (read(pfd1[0], buf,  2000))
            {
                printf("Error reading to pipe 1.\n");
                _exit(1);
            }
            /* close reading end of first pipe */
            if (close(pfd1[1]) == -1)
            {
                printf("Error closing writing end of pipe 1.\n");
                _exit(1);
            }

            printf("Message received child ONE: %s", buf);
            printf("Exiting child 1...\n");
            _exit(0);

        default: //parent breaks just out
            break;
    }

    printf("inside parent\n");

    int child = 1;
    char *message = "Hey child1, this is your parent speaking";

    if(child == 1)
    {
        //close read end of pipe
        if(close(pfd1[0]) == -1)
        {
            printf("Error closing reading end of the pipe.\n");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

        printf("Parent closed read end of pipe1\n");

        //read end is closed, now write to child
        if(write(pfd1[1], message, strlen(message)))
        {
            printf("Error writing to the pipe.");
            _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

        printf("Writing to child1 succeeded\n");
    }

    if (wait(NULL) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error waiting.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    if (wait(NULL) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error waiting.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    printf("Parent finishing.\n");
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

A: First of all, in the child's case you attempt to close the writing end of the pipe twice. I guess the second call to close(2) was meant to close the reading end, as mentioned in the comment above it:
/* close reading end of first pipe */
if (close(pfd1[0]) == -1)
{
    printf("Error closing writing end of pipe 1.\n");
    _exit(1);
}

Besides that, note that both read(2) and write(2) return the number of bytes that were actually read or written; in the case of error the return value is -1, so your error-checking conditions there should be fixed too, to something like:
/* read from pipe 1 */
if (read(pfd1[0], buf,  2000) < 0) {
    printf("Error reading to pipe 1.\n");
    _exit(1);
}

and
//read end is closed, now write to child
if(write(pfd1[1], message, strlen(message)) < 0) {
    printf("Error writing to the pipe.");
    _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

A: On the principle of teaching to fish, a good technique to diagnose problems like this is to check what the error was and print a more informative message.  Here is a technique I frequently put into a header file and use:
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

/* This declaration and macro would really go into a header file: */
void fatal_error_helper( const char* msg, const char* sourcefile, int lineno, const char* syserr );

#define fatal_system_error(m) \
  fatal_error_helper( (m), __FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(errno) )

/* This function definition would really go into a .c file: */
void fatal_error_helper( const char* const msg,
                         const char* const sourcefile,
                         const int lineno,
                         const char * const syserr )
{
  fflush(stdout); /* Don't cross the streams! */
  fprintf( stderr,
           "%s at %s:%d: %s.  Program terminated.\n",
           msg, sourcefile, lineno, syserr
         );
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

/* Test driver: */
FILE* fails_to_open_file( const char* filename )
/* Returns a FILE* to an open file.  If the operation fails, prints an
 * error message and terminates the program.
 */
{
    /* Do this in general before calling the function whose error value
     * you check.  Otherwise, you might report the wrong error message
     * from an earlier call and really confuse someone.
     */
    errno = 0;
    FILE* result = NULL;

    result = fopen(filename, ""); /* Fails. */
    if (!result)
       fatal_system_error("Failed to open file");
    return result;
}

int main(void)
{
  fails_to_open_file("nonexistent.file");
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This gives an error message such as: Failed to open file at prog.c:26: Invalid argument.  Program terminated.

Los tacuates son una etnia descendiente de los Mixtecos que a pesar de hablar una lengua mixteca mantiene una identidad étnica distinta.

Denominación
El término tacuate deriva del náhuatl que quiere decir Tlal-hombre y Coatl-Serpiente " Hombre Serpiente". En Zacatepec los Tacuates se denominan como Tata-Señor y Koo-Serpiente "Señor Serpiente",y en Ixtayutla se denominan " Inyus " que deriva de la palabra "Indio".

Asentamientos
Los tacuates (en sentido estricto) habitan en la región de la Mixteca de la Costa de Oaxaca en el Municipio de Santa María Zacatepec (Ñuu cha'a tuta), distrito de Putla, Oaxaca. Mientras algunos autores señalan que los mixteco-hablantes del municipio vecino de Santiago Ixtayutla, Jamiltepec, Oaxaca, también se considera tacuates Castillo Cisneros mantiene que los habitantes de Zacatepec han desarrollado una etnicidad muy distinta: ellos son los únicos que se autonombran tacuates y son llamados así por los demás grupos en la región (mestizos, amuzgos, mixtecos). Además existe una diferencia marcada entre el idioma tacuate (mixteco de Zacatepec) y el mixteco de Ixtayutla con una inteligibilidad limitada entre las dos variantes de sólo 64 %.

Historia
Los Tacuates de Santa María Zacatepec durante el gobierno de Porfirio Díaz, gozaron de un gran poder directo del presidente Diaz gracias al cacique Tacuate "Tata Lencho" o Lorenzo Cruz quien era compadre de Porfirio Diaz. A la muerte de este último cacique y gobernador Tacuate, el pueblo de Santa Maria Zacatepec es invadido por españoles y mestizos de las poblaciones vecinas que buscaban nuevas tierras.

Los Tacuates fundaron el pueblo de Santa María Zacatepec el 9 de noviembre de 1547 bajo el nombre de "Yucu'Satuta" terminó denominado por los mixtecos de Tlaxiaco al ver las lomas verdes que rodeaban el pueblo, y los pueblos vecinos como Putla, Mesones, Amuzgos, Jicayan, Mechoacan y Tututepec lo denominan como "Ñuu Kanu Cha'a Tuta" que quiere decir "Pueblo Grande que da Atole", hoy en día es reducido como "Cha'a" que quiere decir "Los que dan". Los Tacuates desconcen el Mixteco o Ñuu Savi como su lengua, ellos dicen hablar la lengua Tu'un Va'a debido a que no se entienden con los mixtecos de Tlaxiaco ni con los mixtecos de Tututepec.

Lengua
La lengua de los tacuates, también conocido como mixteco de Zacatepec, es una variante del idioma mixteco, perteneciente al grupo mixtecano de las lenguas otomangues. Los tacuates no reconocen a sí mismos como mixtecos, pero su habla forma parte de la macrolengua mixteca. Ellos llaman a su habla cotidiana tu'un va'a. Ethnologue dice que la inteligibilidad del mixteco de Zacatepec es de 40-50% respecto al de Metlatónoc, 25-30% con la variedad de Yoloxóchitl; guarda mayor similitud con las hablas de Ixtayutla y Jicaltepec, con 64 y 63% de inteligibilidad mutua respectivamente.

Vestimenta
Los tacuates de Zacatepec visten trajes muy coloridos, según estudios, la vestimenta de la Etnia, es la única de las prehispánicas que sigue en uso.

Religión
Aún conservan creencias mágico-religiosas ancestrales.

Cultura popular
Pedro Infante en la película Tizoc interpreta a un hombre tacuate que se enamora de la hija de un terrateniente. El eje del argumento es el pañuelo que María Félix, la hija del terrateniente le ofrece a Pedro Infante para limpiar la sangre que le sale por una herida en la cabeza por una pelea. Según el guionista, Ismael Rodríguez, entre los tacuate una mujer que le da el pañuelo a un hombre representa promesa de matrimonio.

Space Run is a real-time spaceship construction strategy game.
Space Run is a real-time spaceship construction strategy game. Space Run takes the well-known Tower Defense-style gameplay and twists it, challenging you to manage and protect a spaceship and its cargo against the hazards of deep space!
Space can be a dangerous place. You're one of the most daring «Space Transporters», people who carry the dangerous task of transporting valuable shipments from one place to another across hazardous space. This supposedly simple task gets tricky once you add dense asteroid fields that regularly cross the space lanes, the armed-to-the-teeth pirate starfighters and spaceships all too willing to shred your ship for your cargo, as well as the other Space Transporters you are competing against!
Take on increasingly difficult missions as your reputation grows: bringing more expensive cargo to their destination will earn you credits to unlock new ship modules and upgrades that will help you survive the lethal threats of space: laser turrets, missile launchers, protection shields, thrusters, power generators... you name it! You'll have to quickly adapt to every new situations if you wish to survive, building modules on your ship as you fly across space. The faster you fly and reach your destination, the better your reputation, allowing you to unlock more difficult delivery missions!
A great take on the traditional tower defense. With lasers.


Minister of Investment and International Cooperation Sahar Nasr signed a grant of ¥993m with Kazuhiko Koshikawa, executive senior vice president of the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
This grant represents the second portion for the implementation of the project of supplying educational and research equipment for Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST).
Moreover, the minster added that this project aims at supporting the performance and educational content that the university will provide to senior students at the Faculty of Engineering through the Japanese government's supply of devices and equipment to provide an advanced learning environment for students based on practical experiments and research.
Furthermore, it also aims at attracting Japanese companies and agencies to cooperate with the university in research, in order to use the expertise of these companies in training and transferring new technology and advanced methods of work to Egypt.
Meanwhile, the executive senior vice president of JICA said that E-JUST is the first university to be established outside Japan, adding that the university pays special attention to investing in human resources in the field of science and technology, especially in Egypt and African countries.
"E-JUST contributes to raising the level of education, scientific research, and innovation in Egypt," he continued.
In another context, Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Tarō Kōno praised the economic measures taken by the Egyptian government, pointing to his country's desire to strengthen investment and development relations with Egypt during the coming period.
This came during his meeting with Nasr and Egyptian Ambassador to Japan Ayman Kamel.
Moreover, the minister discussed with the chairperson and CEO of Nippon Export and Investment Insurance (NEXI), Kazuhiko Bando, the agency's support to the Japanese companies that work on infrastructure projects in Egypt, through providing insurance for export and investment financing, such as the wind energy project in Suez Bay.
Furthermore, 20 major Japanese companies have expressed their desire to inject new investments into Egypt in the coming period.
This came during the roundtable that the minister held with 20 major companies, where they discussed increasing their investments in Egypt, especially after the Egyptian government has taken many measures to improve the investment climate and amended some laws, such as corporate laws.
Finally, the minister stressed Egypt's desire to increase the volume of Japanese investments in Egypt, hoping for Japan to be of the top 10 investor countries in Egypt. Japan is currently ranked 27th among the largest investor countries in Egypt.
Egyptian exports to Japan reached $48.1m, while the imports from Japan amounted to $700m in the period from January to August 2017, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilisation & Statistics (CAMPAS).

A horror film with likeable characters!
These days the zombie, vampire and werewolf films are all one and the same. They may impress with their mind-blowing special effects or neo-gothic production design, but the real substance- story and character - is missing. While An American Werewolf in London is not a masterpiece, you don't hate the characters and actually find some of their banter amusing (the acting is fairly good). This makes the film far more engaging. The extra offerings of incredible puppetry/animatronics (so much more juicy than CGI) and lots of gore just make the film all the better.

Ray-Mont transload facility receives first unit train in Prince Rupert
The 10-acre facility includes a 100-car rail loop corridor, a grain dumper pit and a conveyance system.
Photo – CN
The new Ray-Mont Logistics transload facility in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, welcomed its first unit train carrying agricultural products on CN's rail line, the Class I announced yesterday.
The new facility is located on Ridley Island, next to the recently expanded Port of Prince Rupert Fairview Container Terminal and connected to CN's network.
The train transported canola meal pellets from western Canada. The new facility, which opened Aug. 31, is the only unit train stuffing facility on Canada's West Coast, helping crops transported by CN from western and central Canada and the U.S. Midwest to reach international markets, CN officials said in a press release.
The 10-acre facility includes a 100-car rail loop corridor, a grain dumper pit and a state-of-the-art conveyance system. It will transload grain and processed grain products from CN hoppers to ocean liner containers for export.
"We recognize the importance of making Canadian grain competitive on the global market," said Doug MacDonald, CN vice president of bulk. "As such we are pleased to play a role in innovative supply chain partnerships such as this one that will benefit the grain industry."

There has been a British outcry on social media after a US chain claimed to have invented a new summer snack that looks suspiciously like a sausage roll. Supermarket Trader Joe's has called it the "Puff Dog".Los Angeles-based lifestyle website Hello Giggles said it was "genius".However, the UK's The Mirror newspaper was less impressed. "Sausage roll given ridiculous new name," read its headline on Saturday. Although other European countries also have a centuries-old fondness for meat wrapped in pastry, the UK has made the sausage roll its own. British bakery chain Greggs sells more than 2.5 million of them every week. It is typically a pork sausage wrapped in puff pastry, although the Puff Dog has opted to use beef.
Hello Giggles could have saved itself the backlash by looking in its own archive.In 2015, it covered a previous twitterstorm when the New York Times published a sausage roll recipe."There are two sides to the social media storm that ensued following the release of the recipe. Americans don't know what a sausage roll is, and the Brits can't believe we haven't experienced them yet," wrote Hello Giggles at the time. Americans are often more familiar with their version of "pigs in blankets" – a sausage wrapped in hard pastry, as opposed to puff pastry. In the UK, "pigs in blankets" are sausages wrapped in bacon, which are often served with Christmas dinner.
Yet can the UK really claim the last laugh?Earlier this year, a large part of the Spanish-speaking world was amused when the UK's Costa Coffee chain appeared to conceive the cortado coffee. The cortado – a small coffee with a dash of milk – has long been popular in cafes from Spain to Argentina.Yet sandwich boards spotted outside Costa Coffee in April heralded: "The next big thing in coffee.""2017: England invents the cortado," read one widely shared, tongue-in-cheek tweet (in Spanish), accompanied by a picture of the advert."Clearly, the recurring Gibraltar issue is not the only pending dispute between Spain and the United Kingdom," joked Spanish news site 20 Minutos. Meanwhile, a civil war was almost sparked earlier this month when the BBC started its own in-fight over pasties.
BBC Radio Devon teased its colleagues over the country border in Cornwall by suggesting, on Twitter, that the Cornish pasty – its beloved meat-and-potato pastry – hailed from Devon.It came after one of the station's guests referenced a study by historian Dr Todd Gray from Exeter (which is in Devon), who says he can trace the earliest record of the pasty to 16th-Century Devon.BBC Radio Cornwall was outraged and tweeted back a warning against ever questioning the Cornish pasties origins. "Lovely Cornish peeps, please tell @BBCDevon why the Cornish Pasty is OURS!", it wrote.

S. Korean stocks likely to remain range-bound next week
Stocks 10:00 May 18, 2019
SEOUL, May 18 (Yonhap) -- South Korean shares will likely continue facing downward pressure next week due to lingering effects of the trade dispute between the United States and China but largely remain range-bound, with some positive factors also expected, analysts said Saturday.
The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) closed at 2,055.80 on Friday, down 52.6 points, or 2.5 percent, from a week earlier.
South Korean stocks got off to a weak start this week as the U.S. announced an increase in its import tariffs on US$200 billion worth of Chinese products to 25 percent from the previous 10 percent after the countries' trade negotiations ended without a deal last week.
Beijing retaliated with a threat to take similar measures against $60 billion worth of U.S. imports from June 1, again sending jitters throughout the globe.
Local shares slightly rebounded after U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at a possible deal down the road, saying he will meet his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, at the upcoming Group of 20 summit in Japan next month.
Still, poorer-than-anticipated economic performance by Asia's fourth-largest economy further eroded investor sentiment, pushing the KOSPI down to the lowest level since Jan. 14, when the index stood at 2,064.52.
In April, Seoul's outbound shipments dwindled for a fifth consecutive month, with exports to China, the world's single largest importer of South Korean products, shrinking for a sixth consecutive month, government data showed earlier.
"The fluctuations in the market are expected to continue for some time partly due to the weakening of the Korean won and shrinking foreign demands," Ahn Jin-ah, a researcher from eBEST Investment & Securities, said.
However, the researcher said Eurozone economic indicators and an OECD report on growth outlook due next week may change the direction of the market, noting possible improvements in economic conditions in Europe.
Foreigners remained net sellers throughout the week, offloading a net 1.16 trillion won ($970 million) worth of local shares. As of Friday, foreigners remained net sellers for seven consecutive sessions, the longest streak since the start of the year.

Q: A Sophie Germain surface & Mean Curvature How is the mean curvature $ H= \dfrac{\kappa_1 +\kappa_2}{2}$ involved in a
Surface proposed by Sophie Germain
$${\dfrac {4(x^{p}-1)}{x-1}}=y^{2}\pm pz^{2} ?$$
In the following sketches it appears Gauss curvature  $K<0 \text{ for }p>0   $ and vice versa.

It is not clear if the above is an approximate solution of the isotropic biharmonic equation for plate bending / vibration mentioned in Wiki ( I cannot  access it ). She published it in later life and may contain important insights with theoretical significance in structural mechanics of Plate theory.
In simplified form static deflections appear as ( $ p$ lateral pressure, $D$ plate rigidity) square of Laplace operator :
$$\frac{\partial ^4 z}{\partial x^4}  +\frac {\partial^4 z} {\partial ^2 x\partial ^2 y} + \frac{\partial ^4 z}{\partial y^4}= \nabla ^{4}z= \dfrac{p}{D}. $$

No crisis meetings have been held in Crystal Palace squad
Eagles boss Roy Hodgson hasn't had to call any emergency meetings with his squad
Mark Ritson
Roy Hodgson says Crystal Palace haven't held any crisis meetings or meetings involving the whole squad at the same time.
The Eagles go into a huge London derby with West Ham United this weekend, knowing they have to come away with a result.
Palace have performed well in the last two games against Chelsea and Newcastle United, and there seems to be a calmness under Hodgson.
West Ham's midweek Carabao Cup win over Tottenham gives Crystal Palace boss cause for concern
The boss admits meetings are held within the squad, but with a few players at a time rather than a pressurised situation where everyone is involved.
"I think most have clubs have leaders. We tend to in our meetings, make the meetings smallers and what we call 'unit meetings' rather than big meetings with 25 players," he said.
"We can then discuss the tactical side of things. We hope we don't have too many of those crisis meetings during the course of the season.
Roy Hodgson offers update on injured Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke
"There will meetings which you, as a coach, will call. The trouble is, if you've called the crisis meeting, it's you that dominates the meeting and less will be said than if the players themselves organised the meeting.
"That's because they're more willing to answer criticisms from themselves. They will tend to listen to your criticisms and then go away and moan about it. That's basically how it goes."
Christian Benteke

La Serie C 2017-2018 è stata la 4ª edizione del campionato italiano di calcio organizzato dalla Lega Italiana Calcio Professionistico in una divisione unica. Per la prima volta dalla stagione 1977-1978, il campionato torna alla denominazione originaria di Serie C, in seguito all'approvazione all'unanimità dell'assemblea il 25 maggio 2017.

Stagione
In questa stagione le squadre partecipanti ai nastri di partenza erano 57, ovvero tre in meno rispetto al format di 60 squadre a causa del numero insufficiente di società ripescabili, ma il 6 novembre 2017, dopo quattro rinunce, il Giudice Sportivo ha escluso definitivamente dal campionato il , passando così a 56 squadre. La stagione regolare è iniziata il 26 agosto 2017 e si è conclusa il 6 maggio 2018. I play-off hanno avuto inizio l'11 maggio 2018 e si sono conclusi il 16 giugno 2018. I play-out sono stati disputati il 19 e il 26 maggio 2018. Non si sono iscritte al campionato cinque società: il , retrocesso dalla Serie B e che è stato dichiarato fallito, il , che non avendo provveduto ad onorare alcune pendenze necessarie per chiedere la riaffiliazione alla FIGC si è visto rifiutare l'attribuzione del titolo sportivo della vecchia società fallita nel corso della stagione precedente, la , che ha deciso di non iscriversi a causa dei numerosi debiti e della pesante penalizzazione a cui sarebbe andata incontro, il  e il , che non sono riuscite a rispettare il pagamento della fideiussione. In un primo momento il Consiglio federale ha ripescato dalla Serie D un'unica società, la , respingendo le altre domande di ripescaggio per mancanza dei requisiti e prevedendo un torneo a 56 squadre con un girone (A) da 20 e due gironi (B e C) da 18, con cinque retrocessioni complessive (i cui meccanismi erano ancora da stabilirsi). Successivamente è stato però ripescato anche il , a seguito dell'accoglimento del suo ricorso al Collegio di Garanzia del CONI. Di conseguenza il torneo è stato riformulato con 57 società divise in tre gironi da 19 (spostando il Renate dal girone A al girone B ed aggiungendo il Rende nel girone C), aumentando le retrocessioni a sei (due per girone). L'11 agosto 2017, a Pescara, con un giorno di ritardo rispetto ai programmi (proprio per attendere il verdetto del CONI), è stato effettuato il sorteggio del calendario della stagione. Per altro, in tale sede sono state rese note solo le prime tre giornate, mentre le rimanenti 16 sono state pubblicate alcuni giorni dopo in seguito alla definizione di una controversia con l'Assocalciatori che aveva minacciato di scioperare contro la mancata riapertura dei termini per le domande di ripescaggio e la conseguente mancata integrazione dell'organico di 60 società. A stagione avviata, una sentenza della Corte federale d'Appello della FIGC, modificando la classifica del girone C del torneo 2016-2017 con la retrocessione all'ultimo posto del Messina per irregolarità amministrative, aveva di fatto riammesso al campionato una cinquantottesima squadra, la . Tale sentenza è stata però annullata il 15 settembre 2017 dal Collegio di Garanzia del CONI che ha disposto la revisione del ricorso del club calabrese da parte del Tribunale Federale Nazionale.. La regione più rappresentata in questo torneo è la Toscana con 10 squadre (Arezzo, Carrarese, Gavorrano, Livorno, Lucchese, Prato, Pistoiese, Pisa, Pontedera e Robur Siena). Seguono con 5 squadre Emilia-Romagna (Piacenza, Pro Piacenza, Ravenna, Reggiana e Santarcangelo), Lombardia (AlbinoLeffe, FeralpiSalò, Giana Erminio, Monza e Renate), Puglia (Bisceglie, Fidelis Andria, Lecce, Monopoli e Virtus Francavilla) e Sicilia (Akragas, Catania, Sicula Leonzio, Siracusa e Trapani). Con 4 squadre la Calabria (Cosenza, Catanzaro, Reggina e Rende), Veneto (Bassano Virtus, Mestre, Padova e Vicenza). Con 3 squadre la Campania (Casertana, Juve Stabia e Paganese) e le Marche (Fano, Fermana e Sambenedettese). Con 2 squadre il Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Pordenone e Triestina), Lazio (Viterbese Castrense e Racing Fondi), Piemonte (Alessandria e Cuneo) e Sardegna (Arzachena e Olbia). Con una squadra vi sono Abruzzo (Teramo), Basilicata (Matera), Trentino-Alto Adige (Südtirol) e Umbria (Gubbio). Non sono rappresentate la Liguria, il Molise e la Val d'Aosta.

Regolamento

Promozioni
Come nelle tre precedenti stagioni, le squadre classificate al primo posto dei tre rispettivi gironi saranno promosse direttamente in Serie B e giocano la Supercoppa di Serie C. Ad esse si aggiungerà la vincente dei play-off, cui partecipano, come già nella precedente stagione, 28 squadre. Cambiano però le modalità di accesso ed il format dei play-off.

Play-off
Partecipano ai play-off complessivamente 28 squadre: 21 di esse (7 per ciascun girone) disputano i play-off di girone, mentre le rimanenti 7 sono ammesse direttamente ai play-off nazionali.

Squadre ammesse di diritto alla fase nazionale
Accedono direttamente alla fase nazionale la vincitrice della Coppa Italia Serie C e le squadre classificate al secondo e terzo posto in ciascun girone del campionato. La vincitrice della coppa è però esclusa dai play-off se si è classificata al primo posto nel proprio girone di campionato (in quanto già promossa in Serie B) oppure ad uno degli ultimi quattro posti (che possono comportare la disputa dei play-out e/o la retrocessione in Serie D). In tali casi, così come in caso di piazzamento al secondo o terzo posto nel proprio girone (che comporta già l'ammissione alla fase nazionale) o in caso di rinuncia a disputare i play-off, la vincitrice della coppa è sostituita dalla seconda classificata (ovvero la finalista sconfitta) della medesima competizione o, in subordine, dalla migliore delle quarte classificate dei tre gironi del campionato di Serie C.

Squadre ammesse ai play-off di girone
Partecipano ai play-off del girone le 7 squadre classificate dal quarto al decimo posto nel girone medesimo. Qualora fra esse vi sia una squadra già ammessa alla fase nazionale (in quanto vincitrice o finalista della Coppa Italia Serie C o migliore delle quarte classificate dei tre gironi) accede ai play-off del girone anche l'undicesima classificata. La meglio classificata fra le sette squadre così individuate è ammesse direttamente al secondo turno, mentre le altre sei disputano il primo turno. Entrambi i turni sono ad eliminazione diretta in gara unica, da giocarsi sul campo della squadra meglio classificata. Le partite, in caso di parità, non prevedono né tempi supplementari né calci di rigore: in questo caso passa automaticamente il turno la squadra meglio classificata (ossia quella che ha giocato in casa).

Primo turno play-off del girone
La quarta classificata del girone è esentata dal primo turno ed ammessa direttamente al secondo. Le altre sei squadre danno vita a tre incontri col seguente schema:
a) quinta contro decima;
b) sesta contro nona;
c) settima contro ottava.
Nel caso in cui una delle sette squadre sia stata ammessa di diritto alla fase nazionale (vincitrice o finalista di coppa o miglior quarta) e partecipi in sua vece l'undicesima classificata del girone, gli accoppiamenti vengono rideterminati mediante scorrimento di classifica (l'undicesima prende il posto della decima e così via a risalire). Le tre squadre vincitrici accedono al secondo turno (in caso di pareggio passa la squadra meglio classificata nel girone).

Secondo turno play-off del girone
Al secondo turno prendono parte la squadra che vi era ammessa di diritto (quarta classificata del girone, oppure la quinta se la quarta era ammessa già alla fase nazionale) e le tre squadre qualificate dal primo turno. Queste quattro squadre danno vita a due partite col seguente schema: la squadra ammessa di diritto al secondo turno gioca (in casa) contro la peggiore in classifica tra le vincitrici del primo turno; le altre due vincitrici del primo turno si affrontano tra loro (sempre sul campo della migliore classificata). Le due squadre vincitrici accedono alla fase nazionale (in caso di pareggio passa la squadra meglio classificata nel girone).

Squadre partecipanti alla fase nazionale dei play-off
Alla fase play-off nazionale partecipano 13 squadre: alle 7 ammesse di diritto si aggiungono le 6 vincitrici del secondo turno dei play-off di girone (2 per ciascun girone del campionato di Serie C). Anche la fase nazionale si articola in due turni, stavolta con gare di andata e ritorno: 3 squadre sono ammesse di diritto al secondo turno mentre le altre 10 disputano il primo turno. Ancora una volta non sono previsti tempi supplementari né calci di rigore, e non vale nemmeno la regola dei gol in trasferta: a parità di gol complessivi tra andata e ritorno prevale la squadra col miglior risultato nel proprio girone del campionato.

Primo turno play-off nazionali
Al primo turno partecipano 10 squadre: le 3 terze classificate dei gironi del campionato, la squadra qualificata tramite la Coppa Italia Serie C (vincitrice o finalista) o, in subordine, la migliore delle quarte classificate del campionato e le 6 squadre qualificate dai due turni dei play off di girone. Sono designate teste di serie di questo primo turno la squadra qualificata tramite la Coppa Italia Serie C (vincitrice o finalista), o la migliore tra le quarte classificate, le quattro squadre ammesse di diritto e la migliore fra le 6 provenienti dai play-off di girone (determinata in base al piazzamento in classifica nella regular season nel proprio girone e, a parità di piazzamento, ai punteggi ottenuti). Le 5 teste di serie così designate hanno il vantaggio di giocare in casa la gara di ritorno e non possono affrontarsi tra loro: un sorteggio le abbina alle altre 5 determinando così gli accoppiamenti di questo primo turno. Le vincitrici accedono al secondo turno. A parità di gol complessivi prevale la squadra "testa di serie" (che di norma coincide con quella che ha ottenuto il miglior piazzamento al termine della stagione regolare, con l'unica eventuale eccezione della squadra qualificata a questa fase tramite la Coppa Italia Serie C, a prescindere se si tratta della vincitrice o della perdente).

Secondo turno play-off nazionali
Al secondo turno partecipano 8 squadre: le 5 qualificate dal primo turno e le 3 seconde classificate dei gironi del campionato. Sono designate "teste di serie" di questo secondo turno le tre squadre ammesse di diritto più la migliore fra le 5 provenienti dal primo turno (determinata in base al piazzamento in classifica nella regular season nel proprio girone e, a parità di piazzamento, ai punteggi ottenuti). Le 4 teste di serie così designate hanno il vantaggio di giocare in casa la gara di ritorno e non possono affrontarsi tra loro: un sorteggio le abbina alle altre 4 determinando così gli accoppiamenti di questo secondo turno. Le vincitrici accedono alle Final Four. A parità di gol complessivi prevale la squadra "testa di serie" (che coincide con quella che ha ottenuto il miglior piazzamento nella stagione regolare, in questo caso senza eccezioni).

Final Four
Alle Final Four partecipano le 4 squadre qualificate dai due turni della fase nazionale. Esse si confrontano in due turni: le semifinali con gare di andata e ritorno (dove gli abbinamenti sono decisi da un sorteggio integrale, cioè senza testa di serie e non teste di serie) e la finale (dove le due vincenti delle semifinali si affrontano invece in gara unica). In entrambi i turni sono previsti tempi supplementari e calci di rigore in caso di parità di gol complessivi (nelle semifinali non vale la regola dei gol in trasferta). Per l'edizione 2018 dei play-off la finale si giocherà allo Stadio Adriatico - Cornacchia di Pescara: come nella precedente stagione, la città sede della finale è la medesima che ha ospitato il sorteggio dei calendari del campionato a inizio stagione.

Retrocessioni
A differenza della stagione 2015-2016, quando pure il torneo si era presentato con delle vacanze d'organico (54 squadre divise in tre gironi da 18) ma si era deciso di mantenere le 9 retrocessioni in Serie D rinviando ai ripescaggi della stagione successiva l'integrazione d'organico, quest'anno retrocedono tra i dilettanti solo sei squadre, due per ciascun girone. In questo modo verrà realizzato automaticamente il ripristino delle 60 società a partire dalla stagione 2018-2019. Le squadre classificatesi agli ultimi quattro posti in ciascun girone disputeranno gli eventuali play-out in gara doppia.

Play-out
La disputa di play-out tra le squadre classificatesi all'ultimo, penultimo, terzultimo e quartultimo posto avviene secondo la seguente formula:
la squadra quartultima classificata disputa una gara di andata ed una gara di ritorno con la squadra ultima classificata; la gara di andata viene disputata sul campo della squadra ultima classificata;
la squadra terzultima classificata disputa una gara di andata ed una gara di ritorno con la squadra penultima classificata; la gara di andata viene disputata sul campo della squadra penultima classificata;
a conclusione delle due gare di cui ai punti a) e b), in caso di parità di punteggio, dopo le gare di ritorno, viene considerata vincente la squadra in migliore posizione di classifica al termine del campionato; le squadre che risultano perdenti nelle gare di cui ai punti a) e b), verranno classificate, rispettando l'ordine acquisito nella graduatoria al termine del campionato, al penultimo ed ultimo posto e, conseguentemente, retrocederanno in Serie D.
Mancata disputa dei play-out
La squadra 19ª classificata al termine della regular season retrocederà direttamente in Serie D qualora il distacco in classifica dalla squadra 16ª sia superiore a 8 punti: in seguito al fallimento del Modena, nel girone B questa eventualità si è automaticamente verificata, salvando la 16ª classificata. La squadra 18ª classificata retrocederà direttamente in Serie D qualora il distacco dalla squadra 17ª classificata sia superiore a 8 punti.

Latest Hearts News
Hearts release young centre-back Jake Hutchings

Hearts fan? Never miss a thing with our daily newsletter
HEARTS have released 19-year-old centre-back Jake Hutchings after just five months at Tynecastle.
The Englishman arrived on a short-term deal in January after leaving Torquay United but has been told his contract won't be renewed for next season.
Hutchings played at under-20 level for Hearts but coaching staff felt he could develop into a useful centre-back or holding midfielder. Head coach Robbie Neilson revealed today that he has let the player go because he needs to develop while playing first-team football and isn't likely to do that with Hearts.
Hutchings is keen to stay in Scotland if possible and will listen to offers from any interested club. He initially joined Hearts on trial last August but had to return south after suffering an injury. He signed a short-term contract when he came back to Edinburgh in January but did not manage to force his way into Neilson's senior squad.
"We aren't going to extend Jake's contract," Neilson told the Evening News. "He did okay when he came in but, at his age, he needs to play first-team football and he isn't going to play it with us. We brought him in during the winter hoping he would progress but I just feel that he's turning 20 soon and he needs to go out and play.
"He's keen to stay in Scotland so hopefully he can get something sorted out. He's a good kid and a good player and he will get a team in Scotland, depending on what level he wants to stay at. We wish him all the best and if we can help him out, we will."
Hearts have also released midfielder Scott Robinson, who is expected to join Kilmarnock, plus defender Adam Eckersley. Captain Danny Wilson and centre-back Brad McKay are leaving of their own accord, with McKay having signed a pre-contract agreement at St Johnstone. Striker Genero Zeefuik is back at Groningen after his loan spell ended.

The Help Haiti Bracelet is now available online and in-store!
100% of the proceeds goes to the Canadian Red Cross to help the survivors of the earthquake in Haiti!
The bracelet is $5 and comes in brown and black.
Here's something I wanted to share with our readers. This makes me very proud to be Canadian. It turns out, Canadians have donated the most (per capita) towards the relief effort for Haiti. I'm not sure how I fit into that equation since I donated $5 on my phone through a Canadian courier, however I also purchased a disc online and donated $10 through what I think was an American site. Anyways, the numbers are in and thus far, Canada has shown it's true colours. They're bright and promising.
"According to the Center for Global Development in Washington, D.C., Canada deserves a lead role in the reconstruction of Haiti.
David Roodman tells the Calgary Herald, per capita, Canadians have contributed more aid to the Caribbean nation that anyone else.
On average, we donate $5 per person, compared to the U.S. who has donated about $1 per person.
However, the United States still contributes more, overall.
100% of funds received will support those affected by the tragic earthquake in Haiti.

Mastodon to release limited 'White Walker' picture disc
Tuesday, January 19, 2016 7:07 AM PT
Mastodon will release a 12" vinyl picture disc of their non-album track "White Walker" on February 19th via Warner Bros. Records.
Side A features "White Walker," which was released digitally last winter as part of the Game of Thrones mixtape Catch the Throne: The Mixtape, Volume 2. The track was commissioned by the show's producers when the band appeared on the show as extras. Welsh illustrator Richey Beckett designed the artwork, which was inspired by the show.
The B-Side of the 12' features an a Cappella version of "White Walker," the original idea for the song recorded by Brann Dailor on his phone in his kitchen.
The artwork is a still from the episode in which the band members appeared as murdered "wildlings" who are brought back to life by White Walkers.
The Mastodon "White Walker" picture disc will be pressed in very limited quantities and will be available for pre-order beginning today and in retail stores beginning February 19.

The author, a former rabbinical seminarian, cautions that the following is not intended to provide a definitive statement of rabbinical law (halachah), but rather provides a general summary of overall Jewish perspective on the subject. For a ruling on Jewish law, one should consult an orthodox rabbi.
Judaism, from early times, accepted burial as the normal disposition of remains after death. Even before the Torah was given at Mount Sinai, the patriarchs and matriarchs observed that tradition -- as found in the Book of Genesis for Abraham (Gen. 15:15; 25:9,10), Isaac (Gen. 35:8, 19), Jacob (Gen. 49:29,30; 50:5 ff.), Sarah (Gen. 23), Rebecca and Leah (Gen. 49:31), and Rachel (Gen. 48:7), and even Rebecca's nurse, Deborah (Gen. 35:8, 19). Joseph went so far as to insist that he not be permanently interred in the non-Jewish surroundings in which he lived, but rather that his body be returned to the land of his fathers for burial (Gen. 47:29. 30), a promise fulfilled by Moses (Ex. 13:19).
A rabbinic legend proposes that the first victim of death among mankind, Adam, was buried by Cain (Gen. 4:8-11), after getting the idea by seeing one bird burying the other's remains after a battle (Tanhuma Bereshit). This example also teaches us that a clean bird's blood must be buried after ritual slaughter. Further, we are taught in Talmud (b. Sotah 14a) that one of the ways a Jew performs acts of righteousness by imitating the way of the Almighty is in burying the dead, as we understand that G-d Himself did for Moses (Deut. 34:6).
One of the prime intents of burial is to avoid Nivvul HaGuf, mutilation of the body. This applies to either animal or human marauders. Both physical and spiritual pollution from leaving a corpse unburied should be avoided. Another rabbinic legend hints that Isaac once proposed that his ashes be placed in an urn for his family to recall him. Thee suggestion, if ever actually made, was ignored -- Isaac is buried with the other patriarchs -- and the sages tell us that one should not keep remains at home, to avoid contamination of others. The burial obligation is so great that even the High Priest, who went to great lengths to avoid pollution, must perform the duty (met mitzvah) if no one else is around and a dead body is found.
Biblical examples of death by buirning (Gen. 38:34; Lev. 20:14, 21:9; Josh. 7:15,25) are considered examples of disgrace, and/or tragic situations (such as plague, cf. Amos 6:10). Where part of the body may have been burned (even to avoid disgrace, (I Sam. 31:12),the remainder should be properly buried (this being the rabbinic understanding of the seeming conflict with II Chron. 16:1). Burial itself is said to provide a form of atonement.
Many sages consider the obligation that "you shall surely bury him" (Deut. 21:23) to be one of the positive commandments among the basic 613 in all of Torah (Maimonides, Yorah Deah 362). Even should it not be, a custom in Israel of such antiquity is considered to have the force of law. In fact, any one who orders another before his death that his remains be disposed of other than by burial should have his wishes disregarded, we are told in the Talmud (b. Sanhedrin 46b).
Rabbi Maurice Lamm, writing of mourning practices, recalls to us that the body is to be treated with such great respect because it is only through the vessel of the physical body that we have been able to carry out not only life itself, but specifically, the heavenly commandments which have enriched and hallowed our lives. The body is thus more than just a physical shell; it is a holy instrument.
In a similar vein, we commend a worn or damaged Torah scrollto be reverently buried upon its removed from sacred use, rather than have it rapidly and violently consigned to cosmic scattering to the four winds. Whether body parts, prayer books or prayer shawls, the principle and disposition of these holy objects remain the same.
The rabbinic account of man (adam)'s creation from the dusts of the earth (adamah) had G-d bring together diverse colors and substances from all directions of the land in order to make His holy vessel. Yet it finally must be laid to rest in the state we received it, instead of being returned to a state of Chaos. Even the Golem of legend (to which some attribute the Frankenstein story) returned to the mud from which it was formed when the Holy Name was extracted from it.
During World War II, the National Jewish Welfare Board Division of Religious Activies had a unique combined review board of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform rabbis addressing the needs of Jews in the Armed Forces. They discussed the issue of burying ashes of cremated victims killed by our enemies during the War. Not everyone agreed that burial was permitted in a Jewish cemetery for such remains; the feeling against cremation was so abhorrent. They advised that "[the] general question of cremation and Jewish law does not have to be restudied. The overwhelming opinion is that cremation is forbidden ..."
However, since cremation already had occurred (here imposed by an outside adversary), for those accepting burial under such circumstances, the rabbis held that "in order not to give the impression that the burial of the ashes of the cremated is to be permitted in general, we advise that the urn be placed in a regular sized coffin and buried in a regular size grave." While we should avoid disgracing the dead, we also must not create grief for relatives who see burial as a normal way of saying farewell to the departed.
As to a concern that non-burial should be shunned because it may imply rejection of the belief in T'chiat haMetim (resurrection of the dead when the Messiah arrives), one should respond instead that we should not doubt the Almighty's ability to bring back the deceased from wherever and however their remains may have been dissolved (if not buried whole). More significant is that the failure to adhere to the Jewish tradition of burial of the dead is a denial of being a part of the Jewish people, and as a Jew, you must "be heedful of the customs which you have from your father" (b. Betzah 4b). Even a non-believing Jew is called to account for denying's one heritage.
