The next morning Willett received a message from the senior Ward, saying that Charles was still absent. Mr. Ward mentioned that Dr. Allen had telephoned him to say that Charles would remain at Pawtuxet for some time, and that he must not be disturbed. This was necessary because Allen himself was suddenly called away for an indefinite period, leaving the researches in need of Charles's constant oversight. Charles sent his best wishes, and regretted any bother his abrupt change of plans might have caused. In listening to this message Mr. Ward heard Dr. Allen's voice for the first time, and it seemed to excite some vague and elusive memory which could not be actually placed, but which was disturbing to the point of fearfulness.
Faced by these baffling and contradictory reports, Dr. Willett was frankly at a loss what to do. The frantic earnestness of Charles's note was not to be denied, yet what could one think of its writer's immediate violation of his own expressed policy? Young Ward had written that his delvings had become blasphemous and menacing, that they and his bearded colleague must be extirpated at any cost, and that he himself would never return to their final scene; yet according to latest advices he had forgotten all this and was back in the thick of the mystery. Common sense bade one leave the youth alone with his freakishness, yet some deeper instinct would not permit the impression of that frenzied letter to subside. Willett read it over again, and could not make its essence sound as empty and insane as both its bombastic verbiage and its lack of fulfilment would seem to imply. Its terror was too profound and real, and in conjunction with what the doctor already knew evoked too vivid hints of monstrosities from beyond time and space to permit of any cynical explanation. There were nameless horrors abroad; and no matter how little one might be able to get at them, one ought to stand prepared for any sort of action at any time.
For over a week Dr. Willett pondered on the dilemma which seemed thrust upon him, and became more and more inclined to pay Charles a call at the Pawtuxet bungalow. No friend of the youth had ever ventured to storm this forbidden retreat, and even his father knew of its interior only from such descriptions as he chose to give; but Willett felt that some direct conversation with his patient was necessary. Mr. Ward had been receiving brief and non-committal typed notes from his son, and said that Mrs. Ward in her Atlantic City retirement had had no better word. So at length the doctor resolved to act; and despite a curious sensation inspired by old legends of Joseph Curwen, and by more recent revelations and warnings from Charles Ward, set boldly out for the bungalow on the bluff above the river.
Willett had visited the spot before through sheer curiosity, though of course never entering the house or proclaiming his presence; hence knew exactly the route to take. Driving out Broad Street one early afternoon toward the end of February in his small motor, he thought oddly of the grim party which had taken that selfsame road a hundred and fifty-seven years before on a terrible errand which none might ever comprehend.
The ride through the city's decaying fringe was short, and trim Edgewood and sleepy Pawtuxet presently spread out ahead. Willett turned to the right down Lockwood Street and drove his car as far along that rural road as he could, then alighted and walked north to where the bluff towered above the lovely bends of the river and the sweep of misty downlands beyond. Houses were still few here, and there was no mistaking the isolated bungalow with its concrete garage on a high point of land at his left. Stepping briskly up the neglected gravel walk he rapped at the door with a firm hand, and spoke without a tremor to the evil Portuguese mulatto who opened it to the width of a crack.
He must, he said, see Charles Ward at once on vitally important business. No excuse would be accepted, and a repulse would mean only a full report of the matter to the elder Ward. The mulatto still hesitated, and pushed against the door when Willett attempted to open it; but the doctor merely raised his voice and renewed his demands. Then there came from the dark interior a husky whisper which somehow chilled the hearer through and through though he did not know why he feared it. "Let him in, Tony," it said, "we may as well talk now as ever." But disturbing as was the whisper, the greater fear was that which immediately followed. The floor creaked and the speaker hove in sight—and the owner of those strange and resonant tones was seen to be no other than Charles Dexter Ward.
The minuteness with which Dr. Willett recalled and recorded his conversation of that afternoon is due to the importance he assigns to this particular period. For at last he concedes a vital change in Charles Dexter Ward's mentality, and believes that the youth now spoke from a brain hopelessly alien to the brain whose growth he had watched for six and twenty years. Controversy with Dr. Lyman has compelled him to be very specific, and he definitely dates the madness of Charles Ward from the time the typewritten notes began to reach his parents. Those notes are not in Ward's normal style; not even in the style of that last frantic letter to Willett. Instead, they are strange and archaic, as if the snapping of the writer's mind had released a flood of tendencies and impressions picked up unconsciously through boyhood antiquarianism. There is an obvious effort to be modern, but the spirit and occasionally the language are those of the past.
The past, too, was evident in Ward's every tone and gesture as he received the doctor in that shadowy bungalow. He bowed, motioned Willett to a seat, and began to speak abruptly in that strange whisper which he sought to explain at the very outset.
Willett was studying these scraping tones with extreme care, but studying even more closely the face of the speaker. Something, he felt, was wrong; and he thought of what the family had told him about the fright of that Yorkshire butler one night. He wished it were not so dark, but did not request that any blind be opened. Instead, he merely asked Ward why he had so belied the frantic note of little more than a week before.
"I was coming to that," the host replied. "You must know, I am in a very bad state of nerves, and do and say queer things I cannot account for. As I have told you often, I am on the edge of great matters; and the bigness of them has a way of making me light-headed. Any man might well be frighted of what I have found, but I am not to be put off for long. I was a dunce to have that guard and stick at home; for having gone this far, my place is here. I am not well spoke of by my prying neighbours, and perhaps I was led by weakness to believe myself what they say of me. There is no evil to any in what I do, so long as I do it rightly. Have the goodness to wait six months, and I'll shew you what will pay your patience well.
Ward paused, and the doctor hardly knew what to say or think. He felt almost foolish in the face of this calm repudiation of the letter; and yet there clung to him the fact that while the present discourse was strange and alien and indubitably mad, the note itself had been tragic in its naturalness and likeness to the Charles Ward he knew. Willett now tried to turn the talk on early matters, and recall to the youth some past events which would restore a familiar mood; but in this process he obtained only the most grotesque results. It was the same with all the alienists later on. Important sections of Charles Ward's store of mental images, mainly those touching modern times and his own personal life, had been unaccountably expunged; whilst all the massed antiquarianism of his youth had welled up from some profound subconsciousness to engulf the contemporary and the individual. The youth's intimate knowledge of elder things was abnormal and unholy, and he tried his best to hide it. When Willett would mention some favourite object of his boyhood archaistic studies he often shed by pure accident such a light as no normal mortal could conceivably be expected to possess, and the doctor shuddered as the glib allusion glided by.
It was not wholesome to know so much about the way the fat sheriff's wig fell off as he leaned over at the play in Mr. Douglass' Histrionick Academy in King Street on the eleventh of February, 1762, which fell on a Thursday; or about how the actors cut the text of Steele's Conscious Lovers so badly that one was almost glad the Baptist-ridden legislature closed the theatre a fortnight later. That Thomas Sabin's Boston coach was "damn'd uncomfortable" old letters may well have told; but what healthy antiquarian could recall how the creaking of Epenetus Olney's new signboard (the gaudy crown he set up after he took to calling his tavern the Crown Coffee House) was exactly like the first few notes of the new jazz piece all the radios in Pawtuxet were playing?
Ward, however, would not be quizzed long in this vein. Modern and personal topics he waved aside quite summarily, whilst regarding antique affairs he soon shewed the plainest boredom. What he wished clearly enough was only to satisfy his visitor enough to make him depart without the intention of returning. To this end he offered to shew Willett the entire house, and at once proceeded to lead the doctor through every room from cellar to attic. Willett looked sharply, but noted that the visible books were far too few and trivial ever to have filled the wide gaps on Ward's shelves at home, and that the meagre so-called "laboratory" was the flimsiest sort of a blind. Clearly there were a library and a laboratory elsewhere; but just where, it was impossible to say. Essentially defeated in his quest for something he could not name, Willett returned to town before evening and told the senior Ward everything which had occurred. They agreed that the youth must be definitely out of his mind, but decided that nothing drastic need be done just then. Above all, Mrs. Ward must be kept in as complete an ignorance as her son's own strange typed notes would permit.
Mr. Ward now determined to call in person upon his son, making it wholly a surprise visit. Dr. Willett took him in his car one evening, guiding him to within sight of the bungalow and waiting patiently for his return. The session was a long one, and the father emerged in a very saddened and perplexed state. His reception had developed much like Willett's, save that Charles had been an excessively long time in appearing after the visitor had forced his way into the hall and sent the Portuguese away with an imperative demand; and in the bearing of the altered son there was no trace of filial affection. The lights had been dim, yet even so the youth had complained that they dazzled him outrageously. He had not spoken out loud at all, averring that his throat was in very poor condition; but in his hoarse whisper there was a quality so vaguely disturbing that Mr. Ward could not banish it from his mind.
Now definitely leagued together to do all they could toward the youth's mental salvation, Mr. Ward and Dr. Willett set about collecting every scrap of data which the case might afford. Pawtuxet gossip was the first item they studied, and this was relatively easy to glean since both had friends in that region. Dr. Willett obtained the most rumours because people talked more frankly to him than to a parent of the central figure, and from all he heard he could tell that young Ward's life had become indeed a strange one. Common tongues would not dissociate his household from the vampirism of the previous summer, while the nocturnal comings and goings of the motor trucks provided their share of dark speculation. Local tradesmen spoke of the queerness of the orders brought them by the evil-looking mulatto, and in particular of the inordinate amounts of meat and fresh blood secured from the two butcher shops in the immediate neighbourhood. For a household of only three, these quantities were quite absurd.
Then there was the matter of the sounds beneath the earth. Reports of these things were harder to pin down, but all the vague hints tallied in certain basic essentials. Noises of a ritual nature positively existed, and at times when the bungalow was dark. They might, of course, have come from the known cellar; but rumour insisted that there were deeper and more spreading crypts. Recalling the ancient tales of Joseph Curwen's catacombs, and assuming for granted that the present bungalow had been selected because of its situation on the old Curwen site as revealed in one or another of the documents found behind the picture, Willett and Mr. Ward gave this phase of the gossip much attention; and searched many times without success for the door in the river-bank which old manuscripts mentioned. As to popular opinions of the bungalow's various inhabitants, it was soon plain that the Brava Portuguese was loathed, the bearded and spectacled Dr. Allen feared, and the pallid young scholar disliked to a profound extent. During the last week or two Ward had obviously changed much, abandoning his attempts at affability and speaking only in hoarse but oddly repellent whispers on the few occasions that he ventured forth.
Such were the shreds and fragments gathered here and there; and over these Mr. Ward and Dr. Willett held many long and serious conferences. They strove to exercise deduction, induction, and constructive imagination to their utmost extent; and to correlate every known fact of Charles's later life, including the frantic letter which the doctor now shewed the father, with the meagre documentary evidence available concerning old Joseph Curwen. They would have given much for a glimpse of the papers Charles had found, for very clearly the key to the youth's madness lay in what he had learned of the ancient wizard and his doings.

China's coal addiction is stronger than Western eco warriors
Superpower's decision to ramp up coal mining amid energy crunch should make us question the wisdom of blindly pursuing net zero goals
Ben Marlow
Chief City Commentator
13 October 2021 • 4:54pm
There is only one question on the lips of world leaders as the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow approaches and it's not whether another Boris Johnson speech will leave them scratching their heads.
A bewildering turn behind the lectern from their born-again eco-warrior host is practically a given. Who can forget his strange Kermit the Frog gag at a recent United Nations summit? His reference to pink-eyed terminators and limbless chickens at a gathering to discuss the future of technology had them cringing in the aisles. If nothing else, our esteemed Prime Minister knows how to play the clown.
Instead, what everyone wants to know is whether President Xi Jinping will actually turn up.
The importance of his appearance – or no-show – is difficult to overstate. With a share of almost 30pc of the world's total CO2 emissions in 2019, roughly twice the amount emitted by America in the number two spot, China is the world's biggest current contributor to global warming by a considerable margin.
China produces the majority of the world's coal
Failure to turn up to the most significant climate gathering of statesmen since the Paris Agreement in 2015 will mean China's commitment to fulfilling even that treaty will be in doubt.
The omens aren't great. It is already known that Xi will skip the G20 summit in Rome in a fortnight. He has also rejected a face-to-face meeting with President Biden before the end of the year, in favour of a virtual one instead. Xi has not left China in nearly two years, a decision that is attributed to the pandemic but has fuelled speculation about whether there is another more sinister reason instead.
Some commentators have questioned whether China's president refuses to leave the country because he fears a coup in his absence. Discontent at his Maoist crackdown on private wealth and enterprise is said to be building, while a fresh purge of domestic security forces will inevitably mean more dangerous enemies.
Or perhaps Xi simply doesn't see the point of COP26. With unfortunate timing, China has made it abundantly clear where its priorities lie. Unsurprisingly, keeping the lights on and an economic miracle going is deemed far more important in Beijing than sticking to some woolly net zero targets made under duress at the UN General Assembly last year.
Chinese pledges to reach carbon neutrality before 2060 and ensure greenhouse gas emissions peak in the next decade were widely hailed by analysts as "a game-changer" for the planet.
Yet just 12 months later, pragmatism has taken over. Experts say that for China to have any hope of meeting those targets it would have to shut down 600 coal mines.
Instead, faced with an energy crunch that threatens economic growth and even food production, it has already performed a stark U-turn, ordering its coal miners to ramp up production and announcing plans to build new coal plants. It has also quietly overturned a ban on Australian coal imports, underlining the severity of the power shock in the world's second largest economy.
Coal prices shoot up
As if it was needed, a statement from the Communist party confirmed that Xi's climate change commitments are more elastic than Kim Jong-un's underpants.
There will be a new "phased timetable and roadmap for peaking carbon emissions", it said. "Energy security should be the premise on which a modern energy system is built and the capacity for energy self-supply should be enhanced."
The conclusion of the West will be that China is playing us for fools. Consumers in the UK will certainly be entitled to ask whether all their sacrifices will be for nothing if China doesn't engage in serious talks about reducing emissions. That would be the knee-jerk reaction at least.
But perhaps it will prompt a rethink about the policy of blindly pursuing ambitious net zero goals without matching effort on how they are to be reached. That would be the grown-up response.
High cost of going green
Britain's energy crisis has shown starkly that while ministers love to give speeches about abandoning fossil fuels, they have still not given enough consideration to how they are to be replaced.
It is assumed that it will sort itself out, while nuclear power expansion plans get bogged down in the wrangling that increasingly paralyses attempts to renew infrastructure across the West.
If Boris and friends fail to tackle such issues, then we end up with a rolling crisis, where factories have to be bailed out, and people can't afford to have their heating on during the winter.
It is an abdication of leadership to hope that the market will figure out a new global energy system while the likes of Xi and Putin are around. As it stands, not only will there not be enough to go around but the West risks falling even further behind China's pace.

VKVVF was fortunate enough to have Mananeeya Nivedita Didi, (Vice President of Vivekananda Kendra)on the 17th and 18th of November. On the 17th morning, an hour-long talk on Sister Nivedita and her idea of Education was delivered by her at Hindi Prachar Kendra, Kodungallur for the benefit of B.Ed students . Fifty students attended. How Sister, transformed herself under the able guidance of Swami Vivekananda and how she applied her unique methods of teaching for the all-round development of the girls of the school which she established in Kolkata. The key points highlighted by her were the essential qualities of a budding teacher.
On the 18th morning, at Asmabi College, Mannaneeya Nivedita Didi spoke to the first year B.A.and BSc students. Dr.Ranjit and Dr Mrs Soorya Ranjit both from the Hindi department of the college arranged the talk.She told them about Sister Nivedita who was trained by Swami Vivekananda when she came to India to serve Mother India.The qualities required to be an able student were - All knowledge is within us, the need is of self-confidence which Sister Nivedita stressed on. She narrated how Sister prepared her girl students some of who were child widows, to become faculty members of the Vishwa Bharati International University of Rabindranath Tagore, at Shantiniketan. The second quality needed for a student is to know how to learn and for this, concentration is a must, like that of Swami Vivekananda who was known for his photographic memory. Concentration can be increased by developing self-control. Again along with concentration, detachment also must be practised. Another important method was -TCI (Topic-Concept-Information) technique. This was how Sister Nivedita taught her girls. She also mentioned that, a student should understand his or her oneness with nature since each of them was a spark of the Divine, hence one has to give more than take. That is what Sister Nivedita made her students understand. She taught her girl students everything including the pride for their family, society and country. The whole talk was delivered in simple Hindi which the students listened with rapt attention. Lastly one of the girls came and delivered a beautiful vote of thanks.
On the eve of Mananeeya Eknathji's birthday, there was a gathering of senior citizens at Anandadham to participate in the 'Santwanam' programme meant for the retired teachers who were honoured by V.K.Vedic Vision on Gurupurnima day, all the elderly well-wishers and karyakartas of Kendra. Taking the opportunity of the presence of Mananeeya Nivedita Didi's at Anandadham on the 18th evening , the unique programme was arranged.
Man. Nivedita Didi's talk was on the four Ashrama system of our Indian culture and how it bound the people of all ages together, how it helped to build up the inclusive nature of every child as it grew up to be a man with dignity and total personality . She stressed on the duties of a Vanaprasthi for the society in which he or she lived.
Inaugural talk was followed by a short meditation session conducted by Sri Sudhakarji, a video clipping on Sri Narayan Guru's 'Daiva Dashakam'. The programme ended with Kendra prarthana, with an assurance to all that 'Swantanam' was a monthly programme for all the vanaprasthis who had responded to this programme. 25 people attended the programme.

There are a lot of popular brands throughout the world, and in this post we take a look at some of the most trusted brands out today.
In a recent study undertaken by Reader's Digest New Zealand's most trusted brand was found to be Whittaker's for their chocolate products. The news reports note that this came only a week after an advertising stunt for their new L&P flavoured chocolate saw police receive multiple calls about a company van hitting the somewhat historic L&P bottle in Paeroa. Turns out it was just a stunt. And the mayor was in on it.
So after an incident like this - that could possibly harm the company's reputation - how does Whittaker's still stack up (for the second year in a row) as New Zealand's most trusted brand? Perhaps, ironically, this incident itself is a fair representation of why Whittaker's is so popular, and so trustworthy. A publicity stunt like this exudes a fun and, most importantly, Kiwi approach to releasing a new product. Not only did the initial event cause talk both on the streets (with spectators appearing) but online, it was also quite ironic given the fact that the two brands were about to release a product together. Ultimately, it's a funny - and somehow genuine - way to tell your customers about a new and exciting product.
Mitre 10 was also voted most trusted for home improvement stores. Now although they don't have an incredibly huge list of competitors, Mitre 10 has been a fantastic example of advertising and brand development, especially in the digital age. They recently released this campaign to get more New Zealanders into DIY than ever before with...you guessed it...YouTube. Watch it here.
Fisher and Paykel were also voted top for whiteware. This might be because they're New Zealand-based where no others are, but it's probably also because they are just good at branding. Their products are surprisingly less often white and more often a sleek silver comparable with something out of StarTrek. As well as this, their naming of products and of functions is also very effective: we've got ActiveSmart refrigerators and AeroTech ovens, or SmartDrive washing machines. However, it's unclear how long this place at the top will last with Haier, a Chinese home appliances company, buying 90% of the company. The jury is still out as to whether this shareholder will care about the same things at the very heart of what makes Fisher & Paykel good for its loyal customers today.
hand products from third party businesses or suppliers, somewhat like TradeMe. As well as this, if you've got a second-hand product you'd like to get rid of, you can sell that through Amazon, too.
Additionally, Amazon has basically been the leader of the pack for e-reading, not only releasing the first and best digital reading products like the Kindle, but also pairing them with an equally fantastic service in which a book is delivered over the air instantaneously.
Coca-Cola is another highly trusted brand. This is likely due to a large host of factors, most especially their advertising. Coke has had a number of notable campaigns not only in New Zealand but around for world. The naming of Coke cans and bottles was particularly effective, with many people hunting through stores looking for their name, or some with more rare names getting theirs printed out and applied personally. There was also the best year in music campaign — whenever you bought a Coke bottle it had a year on it accompanied with a unique code. You went to the Coke website and entered that code and you were greeted with a playlist of top songs from that year. The general idea was that people would listen to the music from that year every time they bought a Coke, voting for the years which were the best in music. As a bit of a killer, though, the year that won it was 2013. Coke Romania also ran a great campaign utilising social media to get Romanians to dine together. Watch it here.
Of course, you can't forget Google. Whereas Apple is a bit too staunch, Google seems to be a company as fun as the multicoloured letters comprising its logo. Google is well known for its Android mobile operating system and now mobile phones, which are one of Apple's main competitors - not only in price - but also in features and ease-of-use. As well as this, Google have some great Cloud services such as Drive, which allows sharing and collaboration with all of the world's main document types over the Internet. There's too many services to name for Google, but the top ones are: Gmail, the word's most popular email client with 425 million users, Google+ social network, Google Maps provides fantastic directions and street- view for most of the world, and YouTube is the video sharing website we have all come to love, and it is now responsible for 1 billion monthly visitors.
Apple might be under a little bit of shade following Google, yet is one of the world's most well trusted brands. Just for different reasons. While Apple is first and foremost a consumer electronics company, it's extended out of this into software, making its own computer software, mobile device software and also a great host of office and creative applications that are some of the best out there. It's safe to say that its products are some of the best out there, the most notable being the iPhone. Apple is also pretty revolutionary in its personal computing products, with the sleek aluminium-based and think designs being unlike any others out there.
Pams was also voted as the most trusted in supermarket/home brands. This is probably because of a somewhat recent rebranding and cartoon based commercials and ads that give the brand a light hearted, but effective image that is reflected in its quality but affordable products.
Last, but not least, is PAK'nSAVE. This one is obvious. PAK'nSAVE's brand is built around one core ideology: not only cheap prices, but the cheapest prices. This is a promise that has been kept by the chain and also one that the advertising and marketing campaigns are based on. For instance, this television commercial is a fair representation of why PAK'nSAVE is so trusted. Watch it here.
We believe the brands,we get the good products only with long life for that.we dont have fear to purchase those items.

George Strait Sings Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried" and "Workin' Man Blues"
Contemporary, Country Music
Merle Haggard is one of the legendary singers that most of us know. He established his name in the country music industry with hits such as "Mama Tried," "Sing Me Back Home," and more. His songs are standard in country music, therefore, many country singers perform or record the song. Some recordings of his songs are good but some are not that great. But do you know who can sing these songs as great as Haggard? It's no other than George Strait.

George Strait Sings Two of Merle Haggard's Songs
Yes, folks. Strait is one of those artists who can pull off a classic country song and make it as awesome as the original version. This video shows Strait singing Haggard's classic hit "Mama Tried" and "Workin' Man Blues." Strait began by saying wonderful words about Haggard and reminding them to remember him and his works of art.
Strait nailed this version of Haggard's song. Don't you all agree?
The song was performed during his Las Vegas Concert in February of 2017.
"Mama Tried" and "Workin' Man Blues"
"Mama Tried" became one of Haggard's iconic and signature songs, which was released in 1968, with his band The Strangers. The single was not based entirely on Haggard's life, just some parts of it only. The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

'Outlander' Recap Season 5, Episode 9: "Monsters and Heroes"
By Jennifer Still Twitter @jenniferlstill Apr 19, 2020 at 9:06pm

Outlander Season 5's hottest episode is "Monsters and Heroes." This episode has everything: a buffalo attacking a baby, a syringe made out of a snake fang, a handless Frenchman delivering a baby, a half-baked murder plot, a deathbed handjob…
Wait a second, let's stop there for a second because it's that last thing we need to discuss first and foremost. Of all the preposterous things Outlander has done during its run, having Claire's (Caitriona Balfe), erm, handiwork bring Jamie (Sam Heughan) back from the literal brink of death really does take the cake. The fact that Claire's first thought when Jamie told her he was cold and ready to say goodbye was to get naked and start giving him a rub and tug was truly classic. Even better was the fact that it actually worked. It truly was a moment from the show I'll never forget, though likely not for the reason the writers may have intended.
Of course, we only got into this position (so to speak) because Jamie was too prideful to even imagine living without his leg should Claire have had to amputate due to the venomous spider bite he suffered on a failed buffalo hunt. It took Young Ian (John Bell) giving his Uncle Jamie a stern talking-to for Jamie to realize that maybe life was still worth living even without a leg. That and his plan to find and kill Stephen Bonnet (Ed Speleers), which he now believes is his purpose for being on earth. Shockingly, Claire's methods of persuasion didn't hold much weight in his decision.
Speaking of Bonnet, we should be reunited with him soon given how much he was mentioned throughout the episode. While nursing his bitten leg in the forest next to a still kinda useless (sorry but you know it's true!) Roger (Richard Rankin), Jamie reveals that he believes Bonnet will try to claim Jemmy as his own and he'll likely succeed. That's why if he died, he wanted Roger to murder Bonnet before he has the chance to rip the family apart. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Roger is too much of a chicken — sorry, an intellectual diplomat — to think that's a good idea. Let's all be glad Jamie didn't die then, because Roger being left as the man of the house would have been a next-level disaster.
"Monsters and Heroes" would have been a whole lot shorter had Claire still had her syringe with which to inject penicillin into Jamie's leg as soon as he got back. Of course, the syringe was stomped on and destroyed during the Battle of Alamance Creek by Lionel Brown, so it seemed all hope was lost. Jamie's leg was saved by the bell, however, when Brianna (Sophie Skelton) realized that the snake that bit Jamie (whose head Roger brought home with him, for some reason) had a hollow venom sack which could be used to help her dad.

We got what was perhaps a hint into Roger and Brianna's future in this episode, as Outlander keeps pointing out to us just how ill-equipped Roger is to handle this world and Brianna finally admitted that she feels rather limited by living in the 1700s. These issues, combined with the fact that Bonnet will come back for Jemmy for sure, points to it being a pretty good idea for them to try to travel back to 1969-ish ASAP. Whether or not that will happen is another thing, but I couldn't help but feel a bit of foreshadowing here, especially since the show isn't particularly married to not going off-book.
In happier news, Marsali (Lauren Lyle) welcomed her third child, a healthy baby girl she and Fergus (Cesar Domboy) decided to name Felicity. It was a lovely ending to the episode, which seemed to be all about clinging to and recommitting to life, and especially given the earlier moment in which Marsali admitted she sees Claire as a mother, it was lovely to see everyone all together and happy, if only for a moment.

Tyler Perry plays James Patterson's investigator and forensic psychologist opposite Matthew Fox as a sadistic killer.
You almost feel sorry for Tyler Perry, stepping out of his own universe for the first time to try to expand his range and finding himself in something as thoroughly dismal as Alex Cross. An unpleasant film from the sadistic behavior of its loathsome villain to the grubbiness of its visual palette, this stands as a substandard attempt to bring novelist James Patterson's intuitive cop back to the big screen. All the same, it will be interesting to observe if much of Perry's generally loyal audience turns out to see him in a major change of pace, as well as if nonfans are curious to check him as a potential action hero. Whatever the opening is, legs are doubtful.
Among other things, Alex Cross features a mano-a-mano climax that is a strong contender for the title of worst major fight scene ever to grace a major motion picture. The lighting is dark, it's framed so tightly you can't tell who's hitting whom or what's going on, and the camera's intense jitters make it a virtual parody of filmmakers trying to make something exciting by shaking the camera. It's incredible one of the six producers didn't notice this and demand a retake.
Not directly based on any single one of Patterson's novels about the brilliant investigator and forensic psychologist but credited nonetheless as an adaptation of Cross, the script by Mark Moss and Kerry Williamson takes the man back to his pre-Washington and FBI days, when he was a cop on the Detroit police force (though some might notice that, for financial reasons, the film was shot largely in Cleveland). This repositioning suits the fact that Perry is about 20 years younger than Morgan Freeman was when he played the role in Kiss the Girls in 1997 and Along Came a Spider four years later.
This is nasty psycho-killer film plain and simple, centered on a wily and well-armed sicko who flat-out announces that, "Inflicting pain is a crucial part of my true calling." In order to look more cadaverously sinister, Matthew Fox (Lost) might have shed more weight for a role than anyone since Christian Bale went skeletal for The Machinist. As is exhibited all too vividly at the outset, Picasso -- as he quickly becomes known for good reasons -- loves to torture, to feel his victims' pain, you might say, and it's up to Cross and his boyhood friend and partner Tommy Kane (Edward Burns) to track the maniac down.
Unfortunately, there's no preparation for the way Cross lays out how the first mass murder went down almost as soon as he arrives on the crime scene, apparently so accurately that his visions of what Picasso wrought are simultaneously presented as fact. He would seem to have an unnatural gift for sussing out a bad guy's m.o., but we never learn anything about this ability, other than that the FBI has noticed it and is paging him to D.C. The idea of moving doesn't sit too well with Cross' wife (Carmen Ejogo), who announces she's pregnant with their third child. But domestic decisions will have to wait until the maniac is brought down.
On precious little evidence, Cross thinks he has Picasso's intentions figured out -- he seems to be targeting the extravagantly rich -- but he and Tommy soon find the victims are too close to home. Picasso torments Cross with taunting phone calls and always seems a step or two ahead of his pursuer, for whom the hunt becomes a personal obsession.
Director Rob Cohen takes no time to set up scenes properly to build suspense or, as in the case of the climax and another action interlude involving a car crash, to even make them plausible. The camera shakes big time in another sequence when a major lead is discovered that might lead to the killer, and a coda set in Bali is preposterous in the way one of the characters spews out information he has no need to disclose.
Towering over the other actors (he's 6-foot-5), Perry lumbers around with a degree of charisma but a lack of emotional range or variety in line delivery. Although watchable and certainly different from the usual run of leading men, he's not really all that interesting in this character. Fox is plenty convincing as the cretin without the merest morsel of humanity, while the other actors just cash their paychecks, notably Jean Reno as a French industrialist with an unexplained penchant for turning the city of Detroit around.
Ricardo Della Rosa's cinematography makes every hue look muddy, with production values in general just barely adequate.

Today's Decisions on Cybersecurity Must Focus on Deploying Emerging Technologies in Ways that Will Benefit Society in the Future, Unisys Chief Trust Officer to Tell Futurists in Davos
Tom Patterson to present at the Cyber Future Dialogue event, highlight the critical decisions needed for security, privacy and trust for future generations
Unisys Corporation
Jan 21, 2019, 08:00 ET
DAVOS-KLOSTERS, Switzerland, Jan. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The world is at a "technology crossroads" where society needs to move beyond trusting emerging technologies and focus on deploying them in ways that benefit society, Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) Chief Trust Officer Tom Patterson will tell futurists this week in Davos.
"During the World Economic Forum in 2018, there was a seminal panel titled 'In Technology We Trust' that posited that the movement to trust technology for our global security is the most pivotal and important discussion of all. While still true today, we need to get beyond the discussion of any inherent trust in specific technology and focus on how it will actually be used to benefit global society," said Patterson. "Technologies like 5G, quantum computing, artificial intelligence and biometrics are individually disruptive, but collectively they will completely rewrite the global trust models – for better or worse. Our levels of security and privacy in the years ahead will be dominated by the decisions we make today."
Patterson will both present his views on this technology crossroads and participate in an expert panel of cybersecurity futurists from Barclays, Intuit, Palo Alto Networks, SAP and SINET at the Cyber Future Dialogue 2019 event, to be held on January 22 at Davos-Klosters in Switzerland. Among the topics in Patterson's presentation will be the importance of citizens playing a role in deciding how emerging technologies will apply to their lives in protecting and providing critical infrastructure across governments, transportation, energy, finance, defence and healthcare.
Patterson's presentation in Davos serves to extend Unisys' presence as a leading voice in Europe's ongoing dialogue around cybersecurity. The company announced in November 2018 its support of the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace in line with its commitment to global cybersecurity and the promotion of best practice across international governments and businesses. Unisys is an early supporter of this global initiative, which aims to make the Internet safer around the world.
Patterson also serves as the co-lead of the working group of the White House Cyber Moonshot subcommittee – which is co-chaired by Unisys Chairman and CEO Peter Altabef – of the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Founded in 1982 by President Reagan and an act of Congress, NSTAC is chartered to provide information and advice to the President with respect to national security. The Cybersecurity Moonshot report includes a set of recommendations for a "whole of nation approach" regarding the internet – similar in spirit to the one once announced by President Kennedy for "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s.
Unisys leaders also actively support the EastWest Institute (EWI), a global network of influential stakeholders committed to and engaged in building trust and preventing conflict around the world. Altabef serves on the EWI board of directors.

This chapter will provide information about the background of the study, statement of the problem, research objectives and other important details about the topic of this study. This part will provide some information regarding the focus of this study.
Some important documents will be provided in this part of the paper to enable the researcher to have guidance towards the attainment of the research topic. One of the many issues that remained inclusive in relation to autism is the implementation of inclusion classroom settings (Eason & Whitbread, 2006) for the children with this disability.
Herein, the problem is to determine how inclusion affects autistic children. Inclusive schools are established primarily for the special children's better learning and development. Specifically, inclusion aims to benefit special children through improvements on their learning outcomes, including their social skills academic achievement and personal development.
So as to meet all the learning needs of the children within a community, inclusion promotes the initiation of mainstream school restructuring. According to Anderson (2003), inclusion aims to establish more effective schools that recognize students' difficulties in learning; hence, effective schools support the need for appropriate reforms (Cook, Klein & Tessier, 2004).
The problem is to determine the impact of inclusion to the cognitive and social development of autistic children. Because of the growing problems associated with the inclusion of autistic children in classroom mainstream, there is a need for a study that will identify the effect of this program with children.
What are the effects of inclusion to the cognitive and social development of autistic students?
In what ways do inclusion classroom settings are advantageous and disadvantageous to the children and instructors?
What are the perspectives of the parents towards the practice of letting children with autism to attend mainstream classroom set up?
What are the needed strategies and modifications in order to improve the current teaching strategies applied for autistic children?
Although a number of studies had already been conducted in relation to the development of autistic children in inclusion classroom setting, further investigation and researches is still important and necessary. This primary research goal will be done by comparing two groups of autistic students where one will be asked to attend an inclusive classroom, while the other will be placed on a special education setting.
In order to achieve the objective of this study a total of 30 students will be used for this proposed study, 20 of which will be autistic students while the remaining 10 students will have no disabilities. Ten of the 20 autistic students will make up the control group and attend the specialized classroom setting for children with autism.
The other 10 autistic students, along with the 10 non-disabled students, will make up the experimental group. Inclusion will then be applied to the experimental group. All students will be at age six and attend one public school in Florida. Three first grade teachers will be used for this process.
Each teacher will be answering the evaluation tool selected to assess each student's behaviour, attitude, and learning capability. Three evaluators will also be asked to attend the classes of both groups. The teachers and evaluators will not be aware which among the students are autistic or not. This will then help in avoiding subjective findings. The same group of teachers and evaluators will be asked to assess the students of the control and experimental groups.


Expect 1-3 days for a response. Other times may be longer during busy events I attend.
I am available Monday-Friday 9AM-9PM If I do not answer please leave a message with your full name and number for a call back.


Oral RELISTOR Remains On-track for April 19, 2016 PDUFA. Progenics anticipates an FDA decision April 19, 2016 on the NDA submission for oral RELISTOR. If approved, Progenics would be entitled to a $50 million milestone payment and subsequent sales royalties and commercial milestones from Valeant.
LAVAL, Quebec and TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX) (TSX: VRX) and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review Valeant's New Drug Application for RELISTOR® (methylnaltrexone bromide) Tablets for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of April 19, 2016.
LAVAL, Quebec and TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Sept. 8, 2015 /CNW/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX) (TSX: VRX) and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review Valeant's New Drug Application for RELISTOR® (methylnaltrexone bromide) Tablets for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of April 16, 2016.
Mark R. Baker, Chief Executive Officer, commented on the regulatory outlook for the Oral Relistor product. He stated, "Our marketing partner, Salix, was just acquired by Valeant in April. To date, we have been impressed with Valeant's commitment to this franchise, and we look forward to having them as a partner in marketing to the broader chronic pain indication received in the U.S. last September and to working with them as we approach the filing, potential approval and commercial launch for oral Relistor. Valeant recently reported that they are creating a new pain sales force, which will promote Relistor in addition to some other Valeant products to the pain specialist market, offering additional support to this product. In addition, in our conversations with Valeant, they have reiterated that they intend to file an NDA for the oral formulation midyear, so we are confident and optimistic in the upside potential for this program."
Mechanism of action: Relistor Methylnaltrexone (Sq), a SM-inhibitor, relieves the side effects associated with prolonged opioid exposure by blocking peripheral mu-opioid receptors with a methylated (unable to cross the BBB) version of the known opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone.
LAVAL, Quebec and TARRYTOWN, N.Y., July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE & TSX: VRX) and Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved RELISTOR® (methylnaltrexone bromide) Tablets for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Valeant expects to commence sales of RELISTOR Tablets in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2016.
"Opioid-induced constipation represents a long-lasting and potentially debilitating side effect of opioid therapy for millions of patients suffering from chronic pain," commented Joseph C. Papa, Chief Executive Officer of Valeant. "We believe Oral RELISTOR represents a new alternative treatment for OIC, and we look forward to introducing the more convenient oral formulation as soon as practicable."
"We are delighted that this milestone for RELISTOR has been achieved, and that patients suffering from OIC will have this new treatment option," said Mark Baker, Chief Executive Officer of Progenics. "We expect the market to be receptive to a more convenient oral tablet formulation of RELISTOR's well-established subcutaneous preparation. We would like to thank, in particular, Dr. Tage Ramakrishna and Dr. Robert Israel of Valeant for their work over many years in the clinical development of RELISTOR."
"RELISTOR has a unique mechanism of action that binds to mu-opioid receptors without impacting the opioid-mediated analgesic effects on the central nervous system," said Richard L. Rauck, MD, Medical Director, Center for Clinical Research, President, Carolinas Pain Institute, President of the Sceptor Pain Foundation of which he is a founding member, and Immediate Past President of the World Institute of Pain. "This represents a true breakthrough in the treatment of OIC, and addresses a large and growing need in the field of pain management."
Today, the FDA approved RELISTOR Tablets (450 mg once daily) for the treatment of OIC in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Previously, RELISTOR Subcutaneous Injection (12 mg and 8 mg) was approved in 2008 for the treatment of OIC in adults with advanced illness who are receiving palliative care and in 2014 for the treatment of OIC in adults with chronic non-cancer pain.
