Q: Problems with macports and gnuplot different users I installed MacPorts (in an Administrator account, Mac OS X 10.8.2), and then gnuplot through it. But in another account (without admin privileges), I can't launch gnuplot nor port from the terminal:
MacBook-Pro:~ user$ gnuplot
-bash: gnuplot: command not found
MacBook-Pro:~ user$ port
-bash: port: command not found

What is going on. What do I need to do?

A: You just need to add /opt/local/bin to your $PATH.
This is done by adding this to your ~/.profile:
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$MANPATH

This is done when you install MacPorts, but I guess not to all users (you installed it as a different user).
I don't know why it doesn't update /etc/profile and make it global, but I would recommend you do that manually if you have multiple users of that system.

LAS VEGAS, NV - FEBRUARY 10, 2005 - PODi, the Digital Printing Initiative, announced the winners of its prestigious Best Practices Awards at the 2005 PODi Applications Forum in Las Vegas. The winning application in the "Direct Mail" category was Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, while the Washington State Department of Printing won in the category of "Collateral Management & Fulfillment."The annual awards honor innovative applications with proven ROI that demonstrate the business potential of digital printing.Service providers involved in the applications and their clients presented details of the winning applications. "When we launched the Welcome Mailer program, we knew the complexity would be challenging but that the payoff would be worth it. It is extremely gratifying to be recognized for our efforts with the Best Practices award from PODi and to now share our experience with the marketplace," said Tom Boyles, Vice President, Customer Relationship Marketing and Management, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "By delivering a customized Welcome Mailer that is relevant to each Guest's visit, we show the Guest that we 'know them'. The results speak for themselves and Royal Impressions' expertise in personalized and customized digital printing for our CRM marketing programs is very important to our success." The Walt Disney World (WDW) Welcome Mailing Letter is the first in a series of customized communications that are sent to a guest in anticipation of their upcoming WDW vacation. The communication is designed to reinforce the guest's choice of a WDW resort for their vacation. It also recommends dining options, special events, entertainment and recreation, and even the tickets they might want for various activities. The Welcome Mailing raises the bar on customization, as it carefully recognizes when a household is traveling as a family, party, group or an individual. "Disney has been running this application for almost four years, and it's so exciting to finally be able to talk about it," says Christopher DeSantis, President of Royal Impressions. "Disney has blazed the trail for long-term, successful variable data printing applications and we're so proud that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve." Washington State Online Service Delivers Dramatic Benefits The Washington State Department of Printing's PRTonline is a Web-based application that enables state agencies and political sub-divisions like cities, counties, and school districts to order printed documents, such as business cards, letterhead, envelopes, newsletters, brochures, and ad specialty items. The online catalog offers both static and customized documents. PRTonline allows users to customize the text, images, and formatting used in documents, view and approve proofs on screen before ordering, quickly re-order documents, and track the status of orders. "Our goal is to help government agencies meet their missions. By streamlining the workflow for ordering brochures, literature, business cards and documents, we have greatly enhanced customer service and realized time and cost savings. To receive the prestigious PODi Best Practices Award for this endeavor is very gratifying," said Larry Weber, Interim Director, Washington State Department of Printing. In its first four months of operation, PRTonline saved Washington State agencies and political sub-divisions an estimated $10,000 in prepress costs by eliminating pre-flighting, typesetting, and hardcopy proofing. Additional results were dramatically reduced inventory waste, decreased turnaround time, and increased print production efficiency. PRTonline also helps state agencies and political sub-divisions maintain consistency and control over documents. Industry's Largest Collection of Digital Print Case Studies The winning entrants were chosen from over 60 submissions for the 5th Edition of the annual PODi Best Practices in Digital Print report, to be published in the spring of 2005. These case studiesand the associated online case study database form thelargest collection of successful digital projects ever assembled.The annual publication provides a detailed analysis of best practice principles for conceiving, designing and producing successful digital print applications,and the two winning applications will receive extensive write-ups in the report. "Every year the innovation and strategy behind the winning project reflect an ever-increasing sophistication in the use of digital print to drive successful marketing campaigns and improve business results," said Rab Govil, president of PODi. "This growing interest is also reflected in the continued growth of the Applications Forum itself. This year, a record of over 400 attendees participated in the three-day event, an increase of 60 percent over last year. Space in the vendor fair also sold out early, indicating strong support from the vendor community." The 2005 Applications Forum program included two prominent keynote speakers, a variety of sessions in Business Management and Process Management tracks, anda full agenda of Pre-Conference Intensives. Keynote speaker Shaun Schooley, formerVice President of Enterprise Communication Support at Charles Schwab,gave attendees an in-depth look at Schwab"s enterprise publishing, which enables cross-functional and multi-channel delivery of personalized content to customers. While measurably improving service response, the solution also directly contributes to Schwab's bottom line by reducing content production and distribution costs.On the second day of the Applications Forum keynote speaker Jon Roska, tapped into ideas from his latest book, Ducks in the Henhouse, The Challenges of Integrating Direct and Brand Advertising, to give an insider's view on how to work successfully with both brand and direct advertising agencies.

\section{Introduction}

The discovery of the Higgs and the non-observation of new particles has confirmed the Standard Model (SM) as our paradigm. Consequently, there is a mass gap between the SM and possible new physics (NP) fields. This gap supports a bottom-up approach, {\it i.e.}, the use of effective field theories to analyze systematically the low-energy data to search for fingerprints of heavy scales.

In this approach the low-energy constants (LECs), or Wilson coefficients, are free parameters from the effective point of view. Although they encode the information about the heavy scales, the structure
of the effective Lagrangian depends on the light-particle content (SM states in this case), the symmetries and the power counting. The power counting depends on the chosen scheme to introduce the Higgs field~\cite{Buchalla:2016bse}. The more common linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is a first possibility: the SM effective field theory (SMEFT), where one assumes the Higgs to be part of a doublet together with the three electroweak (EW) Goldstones, as in the SM, and the Lagrangian is organized as an expansion in canonical dimensions, being its leading-order (LO) approximation the dimension-four SM Lagrangian. However, we adopt here the more general non-linear realization: the EW effective theory (EWET), also known as Higgs effective field theory (HEFT) or EW chiral Lagrangian (EWChL). In this second option one does not assume any specific relation between the Higgs and the EW Goldstones and an expansion in generalized momenta is followed. The LO Lagrangian is given in this case by the
purely fermionic and gauge boson parts of the SM Lagrangian plus the ${\cal O}(p^2)$ operators introducing the Higgs and the EW Goldstone interactions. It is interesting to stress that the SMEFT is a particular case of the more general EWET framework.

At shorter distances, heavy-mass resonances are introduced by using a phenomenological Lagrangian which follows the non-linear realization of the EW symmetry, {\it i.e.}, respecting the symmetries and observing the chiral expansion  of the EWET.

As a result, two effective Lagrangians are considered here: the EWET at low energies, with only the SM fields, and the EW resonance theory at high energies, with the SM particles plus heavy resonances. By integrating out the resonances we can match both Lagrangians; that is, one can determine the EWET LECs in terms of resonance parameters. Assuming a good short-distance behavior is an important ingredient in this process. First of all, it is required in order to be able to consider the resonance theory as a good interpolation between the low- and the high-energy regimes. Secondly, these constraints are very convenient to reduce the number of resonance parameters and they allow us to get determinations or bounds in terms of only resonance masses.

The ultimate aim is to combine current experimental bounds on the bosonic EWET LECs with their determinations or limits in terms of resonance masses, in order to
constrain the NP scales~\cite{PRD,Pich:2015kwa}.

\section{The effective Lagrangians}

The EWET Lagrangian is organized as an expansion in generalized momenta~\cite{Weinberg,Buchalla,lagrangian}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{EWET}} &=& \sum_{\hat d\ge 2}\, \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{EWET}}^{(\hat d)}\,. \label{EWET-Lagrangian0}
\end{eqnarray}
As it has been stressed previously, operators are not ordered following their canonical dimensions, one uses instead the chiral dimension $\hat d$, which indicates their infrared behavior at low momenta~\cite{Weinberg}. As a consequence, in this expansion loops are renormalized order by order. In Refs.~\cite{PRD,lagrangian} one can find the building blocks used to construct operators invariant under the electroweak symmetry group and the power-counting rules determining their chiral dimensions. For this work, the relevant bosonic part of the LO EWET Lagrangian is given by\footnote{An alternative notation $a=\kappa_W$, $b=c_{2V}$ is used also in the literature.}
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{EWET}}^{(2)} &=&  \frac{v^2}{4}\,\left( 1 +\Frac{2\,\kappa_W}{v} h + \frac{c_{2V}}{v^2} \,h^2\right) \langle \, u_\mu u^\mu\,\rangle_2    \, , \label{LOEWET_lagrangian}
\end{eqnarray}
being $h$ the Higgs field, $u_\mu$ the tensor containing one covariant derivative of the  the EW Goldstones and $\langle\cdots\rangle_2$ indicating an $SU(2)$ trace. Note that $\kappa_W$ parametrizes the
$hWW$ coupling.
The relevant $P$-even bosonic NLO EWET Lagrangian from a current phenomenological point of view reads~\cite{lagrangian}:\footnote{
These $\mathcal{F}_j$ are related to the $a_i$ couplings of the Higgsless Longhitano Lagrangian~\cite{Longhitano} in the form $a_i=\mathcal{F}_i$ for $i=1,4,5$, $a_2-a_3=\mathcal{F}_3$.}
\begin{eqnarray}
\Delta \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{EWET}}^{(4)} & =&  \sum_i  \mathcal{F}_i\, \mathcal{O}_i \,=\,
 \Frac{\mathcal{F}_1}{4}\,\langle \, {f}_+^{\mu\nu} {f}_{+\, \mu\nu}- {f}_-^{\mu\nu} {f}_{-\, \mu\nu}\,\rangle_2+
 \Frac{i\,\mathcal{F}_3 }{2} \,\langle \, {f}_+^{\mu\nu} [u_\mu, u_\nu] \,\rangle_2 \nonumber \\ &&\qquad \qquad
+ \mathcal{F}_4 \langle \, u_\mu u_\nu\,\rangle_2 \, \langle \, u^\mu u^\nu\,\rangle_2 +
\mathcal{F}_5 \langle \, u_\mu u^\mu\,\rangle_2 \, \langle \, u_\nu u^\nu\,\rangle_2   \, .\phantom{\frac{1}{2}} \label{EWET_lagrangian}
\end{eqnarray}
In the SM, $\kappa_W=c_{2V}=1$ and $\mathcal{F}_{1,3,4,5}=0$. The $W^\pm$ and $Z$ self-energies are sensitive to the operator $\mathcal{O}_1$ and, therefore, can be accessed through the measurement of the oblique parameter $S$~\cite{Peskin_Takeuchi}. Operators $\mathcal{O}_{1,3}$ and $\mathcal{O}_{1,3-5}$ contribute, respectively, to the trilinear and quartic gauge couplings.

The EWET power counting is not directly applicable to the resonance theory. However, the Lagrangian can be constructed in a consistent phenomenological way, {\it \`a la} Weinberg~\cite{Weinberg}, where the resonance electroweak theory interpolates between the low- and the high-energy regimes: one generates the appropriate low-energy predictions and a given high-energy behavior is imposed. Bearing in mind that we are interested in the resonance contributions to the bosonic ${\cal O}(p^4)$ EWET LECs, only ${\cal O}(p^2)$ operators with up to one bosonic resonance $R$ are required at tree-level~\cite{lagrangian}, standing $R$ for any of the four possible $J^{PC}$ bosonic states with quantum numbers $0^{++}$ (S), $0^{-+}$ (P), $1^{--}$ (V) and $1^{++}$ (A). The relevant resonance Lagrangian can be found in Refs.~\cite{PRD,lagrangian}.

If the heavy resonances are integrated out from the resonance Lagrangian, one recovers the EWET Lagrangian (\ref{EWET_lagrangian}) with explicit values of the LECs in terms of resonance parameters. As it has been explained previously, short-distance constraints are fundamental here. We note that without them one would determine the four EWET LECs of (\ref{EWET_lagrangian}) in terms of seven resonance couplings and the resonance masses. The following high-energy constraints have been assumed~\cite{PRD,lagrangian}:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Well-behaved form factors. The two-Goldstone and Higgs-Goldstone matrix elements of the axial and vector currents can be studied through the
vector and axial-vector form factors. Assuming that these four form factors vanish at $s\to \infty$, we can find four constraints.
\item Weinberg Sum Rules (WSRs). The $W^3B$ correlator is an order parameter of the EWSB. In asymptotically-free gauge theories it vanishes at short distances as $1/s^3$~\cite{Bernard:1975cd}, implying two superconvergent sum rules~\cite{WSR}: the 1st WSR (vanishing of the $1/s$ term) and the 2nd WSR (vanishing of the $1/s^2$ term). While the 1st WSR is supposed to be also fulfilled in gauge theories with nontrivial ultraviolet (UV) fixed points, the validity of the 2nd WSR depends on the particular type of UV theory considered~\cite{1stWSR}.
\end{enumerate}

Current experimental constraints on bosonic EWET LECs, at 95\% CL~\cite{PRD}.}} \label{exp}
\end{center}
\end{table}

The use of the high-energy constraints explained at the end of the former section has allowed us to determine or bound the LECs $\mathcal{F}_{1,3,4,5}$ in terms of resonance masses~\cite{PRD}. On the other hand, the strongest experimental constraints on $\mathcal{F}_{1,3,4,5}$ are shown in Table~\ref{exp}~\cite{PRD}. We put together all this information in Figure~\ref{plots1}: the predictions of these LECs as functions of the relevant heavy resonance masses together with the regions allowed by the experimental constraints (green areas in the plots).

We display the dependence of $\mathcal{F}_1$ on $M_V$ in the top-left plot in Figure~\ref{plots1}. If the 1st WSR is assumed, the dark gray curve shows the predicted upper bound $\mathcal{F}_1 < -v^2/(4 M_V^2)$. Therefore, and if only the 1st WSR is obeyed, the whole region below this line (gray and brown areas) would be theoretically allowed. If one accepts moreover the validity of the 2nd WSR, $\mathcal{F}_1$ is determined as a function of $M_V$ and $M_A>M_V$, being the dark gray curve the limit $M_A\to\infty$. The values of $\mathcal{F}_1$ for some representative axial-vector masses are shown in the red ($M_A=1.2\, M_V$), blue ($M_A=1.1\, M_V$) and orange (the limit $M_A=M_V$) curves; being the orange line the lower bound $\mathcal{F}_1=-v^2/(2M_V^2)$. This range of $M_A\sim M_V$ corresponds actually to the most plausible scenario~\cite{ST}. Then, and if both the 1st and the 2nd WSR are followed, only the gray region  would be theoretically allowed.

For $\mathcal{F}_3$ the WSRs do not play any role. Considering only $P$-even operators, one gets $\mathcal{F}_3 = -v^2/(2 M_V^2)$ and we show this theoretical prediction by the black curve in the top-right plot of Figure~\ref{plots1}. If we add possible $P$-odd contributions, only an upper bound $\mathcal{F}_3 < -v^2/(2 M_A^2)$ is found, which is represented by the same curve but this time with $M_R=M_A$. Therefore, the whole region below this line (gray area) would be allowed in the most general case.

If we assume the two WSRs and consider only $P$-even operators, $\mathcal{F}_4$ is determined in terms of $M_V$ and $M_A$. We show in the bottom-left panel in Figure~\ref{plots1} the theoretical allowed values for this LEC as function of $M_V$. The upper bound (dark gray curve) is obtained at $M_A\to\infty$. Thus, the theoretically allowed region is the gray area below that curve. The values of $\mathcal{F}_4$ for some representative axial-vector masses are shown in the red ($M_A=1.2\, M_V$), blue ($M_A=1.1\, M_V$) and orange (the limit $M_A=M_V$) curves again. Notice that the vector and axial-vector contributions have different signs and exactly cancel each other in the equal-mass limit.

Independently of any assumptions related to WSRs or $P$-odd operators, the contributions from vector and axial-vector resonance exchanges cancel exactly in the combination $\mathcal{F}_4 + \mathcal{F}_5 = c_d^2/(4 M_{S^1_1}^2)$ (being $c_d$ the $S_1WW$ coupling). This clean prediction of $\mathcal{F}_4 + \mathcal{F}_5$ is shown by the black curve in the bottom-right plot of Figure~\ref{plots1}, as function of $M_{S^1_1} v/c_d$.

Our tree-level predictions from resonance exchange are expected to apply at a scale around the resonance masses, whereas the experimental constraints on the LECs in Table~\ref{exp} have been obtained at lower scales. Taking into account these different scales and the known one-loop running of these LECs~\cite{Guo:2015isa}, the running contributions can be estimated and are indicated in Figure~\ref{plots1} with the dashed green bands that enlarge the experimentally allowed regions. These are of order $1/(4\pi^2) \!\sim\! 10^{-3}$ and depend on $\kappa_W$ and $c_{2V}$ of (\ref{LOEWET_lagrangian}), whose experimental constraints are also given in Table~\ref{exp}.

The 95\%-CL experimentally allowed regions given in Table~\ref{exp} are covered by the green areas, and they are further extended by dashed green bands accounting for our estimation of the one-loop running uncertainties.

\end{figure*}

The main conclusion is that Figure~\ref{plots1} pushes the resonance mass scale to the TeV range, $M_R \stackrel{>}{_\sim} 2\,$TeV, in good agreement with our previous theoretical estimates of Ref.~\cite{ST}, based on a NLO calculation of the $S$ and $T$ oblique parameters. The principal results are the following ones:
\begin{itemize}
\item The oblique $S$-parameter gives the most precise LEC determination ($\mathcal{F}_1$), implying the lower bounds $M_{V,A}\stackrel{>}{_\sim} 2$~TeV (95\% CL).
\item The triple gauge couplings provide a weaker limit on $\mathcal{F}_3$, which translates in the softer constraint $M_{V,A}\stackrel{>}{_\sim} 0.5$~TeV (95\% CL).
\item For BSM extensions with only P-even operators and obeying both WSRs, the  bounds on $\mathcal{F}_4$ constrain the mass of the vector resonance to $M_V\stackrel{>}{_\sim} 2$~TeV if $M_A/M_V>1.1$ (95\% CL).
\item The limit on $\mathcal{F}_4+\mathcal{F}_5$ implies that the singlet scalar resonance would have a mass $M_{S_1^1}\stackrel{>}{_\sim} 2$~TeV (95\% CL), assuming a  $S_1^1 WW$ coupling close to the $hWW$ one ($c_d\sim v$).
\end{itemize}
Experimental constraints start already to be competitive. Much more precise information will be eventually got using this kind of analysis, once new data from the upgraded LHC runs be available.

Beyond the Confines of Compliance and Virtue: Honing a Set of Global Ethics for South Africa and the United States of America
Author: VICTOR G. HILLIARD
Published in PAQ, Vol. 25 No. 4
examines in terms of South Africa and the United States of America.
Both nations wish to entrench ethics and ethical behaviour in their
societies in general and their public sectors in particular. The author
devoted special attention to the notion of a global ethic as a possible
alternative approach to embedding ethical behaviour in the two countries.
Notwithstanding the glaring differences between the USA and
South Africa in terms of socioeconomic development, few can dispute
the need for an ethical society in both nations. He argues that the proper
yardstick to judge American and South Africa's morality will be, or
should be, a global one, especially if South Africa, just as the USA,
hopes to compete on a global scale for trade, investment, and other
types of bilateral or multilateral agreements. There is a need for a transcultural
corporate ethic which is a business and governmental ethic that
is acceptable across the borders, traverses and transcends nations and
nationalities.
A huge development in post-apartheid South Africa is the focus on
th global ethics that is a honing and refining of a set of "universal"
ethics for the "new" South Africa (Hilliard and Kemp, 2000c). South
Africa is now functioning and doing business in a global environment;
since 1994 it has once more gained legitimacy in the international
arena. In the wake of large-scale globalisation of all facets of human
endeavour, speculating about the need for universal, global or cosmic
values and norms is appropriate. If judged by international development,
South Africa may, consequently, not want to be isolated from international developments again. Therefore, the possibility of introducing
new or adapted normative guidelines for South African public
servants and society at large is essential. Although conditions are quite
different, such a global ethic will also be a good fit in the USA where
the other approaches to ethical conduct have already been tried and
tested and, in some instances, found wanting.

#STRecruiting: #Clemson would love to add Pride to future secondary
Toriano Pride
Clemson is thin at cornerback and the Tigers are hoping to remedy that in the 2022 recruiting class. One target they have a good shot with is Toriano Pride (5-11 172) of St. Louis. He's a four-star in the 247Sports Composite and ranked 14th nationally among corners. Clemson is in his top seven along with Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, Missouri and Auburn.
"A few months ago, coach Mike Reed offered me from Clemson. Ever since then we've just built a real good relationship," Pride said. "I've built a relationship with Coach (Brent) Venables and I've talked with Coach (Dabo) Swinney. They've made me feel like a priority. I really like Clemson."
Pride said he plays all of the secondary positions for his high school. That has been duly noted for Reed, who wants him for corner while appreciating his overall versatility.
"One thing Coach Reed tells me a lot is he likes how I can play a lot of different positions, how he can move me around in the secondary," Pride said. "That's probably the main thing. They said they really like my technique and my speed. My speed is before everything, but they also like my technique and my physicality."
Pride said from what he's seen of Clemson and heard from the coaches, he has to give the Tigers strong consideration moving forward.
"They are very high on my list right now," Pride said. "I don't look at any school more than other schools because I haven't taken any official visits or seen the coaches in person. But I really like them because I like how it's always a family first team, how Coach Swinney runs the program. And the chance I would have at the school because they are very low at my position."
Pride has family in Greenville, so he's familiar with the Upstate of South Carolina. He also has been to Clemson recently. Last month he stopped by to check out the campus after playing in a seven on seven event in Myrtle Beach.
"I really liked the campus," he said. "It's like a little college town. There's not too much to do. I can't really say a lot because there were a lot of people in class and walking to classes. It seemed like a nice little town."
Pride said he will return to Clemson for the spring game April 3rd. He is also planning to visit his other favorites once the dead period is over. Those visits will help him check the boxes of what he's most looking for in the school he will choose.
"When I get on campus and get in front of the coaches, does it make me feel like home," Pride said. "All my offers except one are a few hours away from home, so I want to feel like home when I'm at the school. That and playing time really. If I feel like home when I'm at the school, do I get a good vibe with my position coach and playing time."
Pride plans to make his decision around June. He will sign in December and will be an early graduate.

Often times, injury victims will trust their insurance company and settle their claim for less than they should without obtaining proper counsel. At the outset, the incredible costs not only associated with initial medical bills, but ongoing care, interrupted work, or the complete loss of ability to provide for your family is not immediately evident. The insurance company will act in its own best interest to settle for as little as possible. If you feel your insurance claim has not been handled properly, if it has been delayed or wrongfully denied, be sure to contact Mike Turner and Scott Henderson. We have extensive experience with all types of personal injury cases and insurance disputes. We'll work diligently to help you obtain fair and just compensation under your insurance policy.

Das internationale Markenartikelunternehmen ist heute mit 17 Landes- und Vertriebsgesellschaften weltweit aufgestellt. Vier Produktionsstätten in verschiedenen Ländern gehören ebenfalls zur Unternehmensgruppe. Darüber hinaus bietet die Gruppe Dienstleistungen im Bereich Logistik für interne und externe Kunden an.

Geschichte

2015: Eingliederung von Pelikan Beteiligungen in die Herlitz AG und Umfirmierung in Pelikan AG

Auf Grundlage eines Hauptversammlungsbeschlusses vom Dezember 2014 und eines Vertrags vom März 2015 brachten die Pelikan International Corporation, die Pelikan Holding und zwei weitere Konzerngesellschaften zum 30. April 2015 zehn ihrer Tochtergesellschaften in die Herlitz AG ein, darunter die Pelikan-Aktivitäten in Mexiko, Kolumbien, Argentinien, Japan, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten, Belgien, der Schweiz und Italien. Die Herlitz AG finanzierte die Übernahme mit einer Sachkapitalerhöhung im Umfang von 231 Millionen Aktien. Gleichzeitig wurde die Herlitz AG in Pelikan AG umbenannt.

Für August 2015 war eine Barkapitalerhöhung um bis zu 32,8 Millionen Aktien in Verbindung mit einer Platzierung von 60 Millionen Aktien aus dem Bestand der Pelikan Holding geplant. Diese Angebote wurden jedoch von den Aktionären nur zu 0,38 % bzw. 0,16 % angenommen, so dass sich nach der Aktienplatzierung und Kapitalerhöhung keine wesentliche Änderung in der Aktionärsstruktur ergab. Mit der Sachkapitalerhöhung im April 2015 hatten sich die Eigentumsverhältnisse an der ehemaligen Herlitz AG hingegen stark verändert:

Die Pelikan International Corporation bekräftigte Anfang 2016 ihre Absicht, Anteile an der Pelikan AG zu verkaufen.

2017: Squeeze-Out Verfahren der Pelikan AG und Umwandlung in Pelikan Group GmbH

Anfang Dezember 2017 wurden die Aktien der Minderheitsaktionäre der Pelikan Aktiengesellschaft auf die Pelikan International Corporation Berhad (PICB) übertragen und die Aktiengesellschaft in eine nicht-börsennotierte Aktiengesellschaft umgewandelt.

Die Pelikan AG wurde am 21. Dezember 2017 im Rahmen der Unternehmensstrategie zur Verschlankung der organisatorischen Strukturen in die Pelikan Group GmbH umgewandelt.

Produkte

Pelikan führt unter den Marken Pelikan, Herlitz, Geha und Susy Card ein Sortiment von ca. 12.000 Artikeln des Papier-, Büro- und Schreibwarenbereichs und des Schulbedarfs.

Elijah Wood, well known for his amazing performance as Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings, says that he can't wait to get married and have children.Elijah Wood spent most of his adult life filming The Lord of The Rings trilogy, but admitted that he wants to finally settle down in his personal life.
It's kind of weird for me to see that Eijah's 30 years-old now, when watching the Lord of The Rings and taking a look at him today it seriously looks like he hasn't aged a day at all. Also seeing how old he is makes me feel a little sad to be honest I remember seeing The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring the day it released when I was 7 years-old, it makes me feel like I'm getting a little old.
Elijah will be reprising his role in the upcoming The Hobbit films, he's said that even though he's been busy a lot with his career that there's always time to for women.

A murderer says he has every right to vote from prison. A grieving family asks why.
By Morgan Radford and Aaron Franco with NBC News Politics • Updated: 06/05/2019
Diane and Jim Gagnon, parents of Jeff Gagnon. - Copyright NBC News
AUGUSTA, Maine — Diane and Jim Gagnon store their son's only remaining possessions in a heart-shaped keepsake box.
"It was a ring that he had on his finger and there was two quarters," Diane said while holding the opened box. "There wasn't much left because it was all skeleton."
The mementos are a painful reminder of that day in 1990, when the remains of their son, Jeff Gagnon, 25, were found in the woods off a country road.

The man convicted of his murder was Danny McCluskie, who police say shot Gagnon twice in the back after he discovered Gagnon had been dating his wife. McCluskie is serving a 50-year sentence.
The Gagnons say they hadn't thought much about their son's killer since the trial. But thanks to a debate over voting rights for prisoners spurred by Sen. Bernie Sanders, they're thinking of McCluskie in a new light.
"Yes, even for terrible people," Sanders, I-Vt., said when asked at a CNN town hall last month whether rapists and murderers like the convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be able to vote from behind bars.
"Because once you start chipping away and you say, 'Well, that guy committed a terrible crime, not going to let him vote. Well, that person did that. Not going to let that person vote,' you're running down a slippery slope," Sanders added.
Inside the concrete walls of Maine State Prison's visitation room, convicted murderer Foster Bates says the issue is complex.
"Just because a person's incarcerated, that doesn't make him less of a citizen," Bates told NBC News. "That doesn't make him less of a human being. People are going to make mistakes in their lives."
Found guilty of murder in 2002, Bates now serves as the president of a special chapter of the NAACP formed inside the prison. Bates says he's voted in every election since his incarceration began. And although he's serving a life sentence, he believes he will get out someday on appeal.
"You want to have a say on the people making decisions about your life, regardless of where you are," he said. "Because the people on the outside are going to make decisions for things when you get ready to go home, too."
Maine and Vermont are the only two stateswhere felons never lose the right to vote, even while in prison.
"Once they're released, they want to vote then? Fine," Jim Gagnon said. "But while they're in there serving, they should not be allowed to vote. They lost that right the minute they committed a murder and (were) convicted of a murder."
Allowing inmates to vote has drawn similarly strong rebukes from President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who called the idea "radical."
"Let terrorists that are in prison vote? I don't think so," Trump said last week during a speech to the NRA. "Can you believe it? But this is where some of these people are coming from."
As a founder of the Maine chapter of the Parents of Murdered Children, Diane Gagnon wants lawmakers like Sanders to know exactly how the group feels.
"My son didn't get a chance to vote," she said. "Why would you allow someone that has committed a murder or manslaughter — why would you allow him to vote when my son couldn't vote?"
Prisoners Foster Bates, left, and Santanu Basu go over materials they use to register fellow inmates to vote.NBC News
Bates, along with NAACP vice president Santanu "Sam" Basu — also convicted of murder — registers other prisoners to vote and even hosts town halls in the prison for candidates.
Maine law requires prisoners to register from their last address, ensuring that a cell block can't become a powerful voting bloc. But for Bates and Basu, it's less about political influence and more about a sense of purpose.
"Because we have to have our voices heard," Bates said. "Because we are just as much a part of this country as...who's outside these walls. Because we're incarcerated doesn't mean that we should lose our right to vote because when I leave this facility, I'm a citizen still."
He understands why a devastated family like the Gagnons disagrees.
"It's not much you can say to the family as to why this person should vote," Bates said. "But the answer that I would give is that you have to at some point in time say: If that person comes back to society, you want to have a changed person, not the person who committed the heinous crime."
But for the Gagnons, that argument doesn't hold water.
"Where was our son's rights?" Jim Gagnon asked. "Because the minute that happened, all his rights — his rights for everything, to raise a family, to vote — everything was completely taken away."

Boundary Elements and Other Mesh Reduction Methods XXVIII
Explicit Formulations For Advanced Green's Functions With Built-in Boundaries
Edited By: C.A. Brebbia, Wessex Institute of Technology, UK and J.T. KATSIKADELIS, National Technical University of Athens, Greece
10.2495/BEM060011
G. S. Gipson & B. W. Yeigh
This paper amplifies upon a previously presented BEM formulation where the two-dimensional logarithmic fundamental solution is transformed so as to automatically accommodate rectangular boundaries with fixed boundary conditions. Explicit derivations are presented using conformal mapping. Computational examples and comparisons with the standard procedure illustrate the advantages of the method. Keywords: Green's function, fundamental solution, boundary elements, conformal mapping, explicit formulations. 1 Introduction In 1986, Gipson et al. [1] presented boundary element results for phreatic surface and subsurface flow using an advanced Green's function that inherently accounted for certain boundary conditions common to such analyses. Due to the nature of that presentation and space limitations in the proceedings, the details of the Green's function derivation were relegated to a reference in what has since become a difficult-to-obtain technical report [2]. In the years since the publication [1], there have been numerous requests made of the original authors to provide more substantive details of how the advanced Green's function was obtained. Also during this time, the global scope of boundary element technology has been expanded to more directly embrace the meshless methodology, which was a primary theme in the original work. This paper represents an attempt to fill the gap in the archival literature left by the omission

Behold, Here's Poison – "An ingenious poisoning device"
The American first edition dustjacket published by Doubleday Doran for their Crime Club series in 1936
Georgette had enjoyed writing Death in the Stocks (1935), but it had been her last book for Longmans. She had signed a new contract with Hodder & Stoughton, the publishers famous for their "yellow jacket" books which featured many of the iconic writers of the day. She had every intention of starting the new detective novel as soon as she'd finished with Regency Buck but in June 1935 she wrote to her agent's assistant, Norah Perriam, to say that the new book would be delayed as she had been ill and was struggling to recover:
'Neither pen nor paper inspire me with anything but complete mental paralysis'
Georgette Heyer to Norah Perriam, letter, 21 June 1935.
At the end of June 1935 Georgette and her family left Sussex and headed north. Her illness had been some kind of "internal poisoning" and she had suffered a complete physical breakdown. She desperately needed a holiday, so they had booked two weeks at the Victoria Hotel in Bamburgh, Northumberland. It was a small village just behind the dunes of a glorious sandy beach and only a short walk from historic Bamburgh Castle. It was an idyllic destination and the Rougiers spent their days exploring the coves and inlets of the north-east coast, taking walks along the beach, shrimping, and paddling in the sea. Although she had "one or two definite ideas about the thriller" Georgette was content to let them bubble away in the background, and made no attempt to write while on holiday. Instead she thoroughly enjoyeda much-needed respite from the demands of producing two books a year.

Recovering from a breakdown
ALthough Georgette spent time with Richard during their fortnight in Bamburgh, he was an energetic three-year-old. To ensure they had a little peace and quiet, the Rougiers brought Richard's nurse on holiday with them. After a fortnight together in Bamburgh, his parents left Richard in his nurse's care at the Victoria Hotel and set off for a week in Scotland. This was Georgette's first trip to Scotland and she loved every minute of it. It was as she said, "a heavenly week" for she'd never "dreamed of such beauty". They visited St Andrews, where Ronald indulged in "An orgy of golf", then drove on to Inverness, with a side trip to Loch Rannoch. From there they ran south along Loch Ness to Fort William, before driving on to Lochaber and the pretty port town of Mallaig. Georgette loved seeing Glenfinnan and recalling the stories her father had told her of Bonnie Prince Charlie raising the standard and looking "over the sea to Skye". By the time they returned to Bamburgh via Berwick she was thoroughly rested and ready to return home and start writing again.
The 1936 first edition of Behold, Here's Poison, Georgette's first novel with Hodder & Stoughton
A Shakespearean title
By the end of August she'd made a start on the new detective novel, but when asked by her agent for a title and an outline, she had not yet set it in stone.
'Rather a teaser. I do know more or less what the new book is about, but I haven't given it a title, & the plot, being still fluid, is liable to change.
Georgette Heyer to L.P. Moore, letter, 29 August 1935.
It was at this point that Georgette laid down her pen and took up her Concordance to Shakespeare. After a few minutes perusal, she decided to call her new book either "Timeless End" from Romeo and Juliet, or "Behold, Here's Poison" from Pericles. Her preference was for the latter and, having decided that two of her characters were to be poisoned, she opted for the quote from Pericles. End the end it was an extremely apt title, for the poison and the method of delivering it may be said to have been under everyone's eye from the beginning. No spoilers, however, and Behold, Here's Poison is as much a book about human nature as it is a clever mystery. Heyer obviously enjoyed writing the book, for she gave full rein to her penchant for humour in it by bringing together a cast of very human acharacters, none of whom have any difficulty speaking their minds or being rude either to each other or to the police.
Miss Heyer's description of family life would win the approval of Mr. G. B. Shaw, so thoroughly does she agree with his thesis that it consists chiefly of a competition in rudeness.
E.R. Punshon, "The Omniscient Detective", The Manchester Guardian, 23 June 1936.
The 1938 edtion
Two of the Hodder & Stoughton "Yellow jacket" editions of Behold, Here's Poison.
"The beauty of the book is its wit"
The body is found on page six and by the butler, who clearly did not do it. This delicious reversal of cliche is only the first of many jokes that Miss Heyer plays in the novel. The victim, Gregory Matthews, was the head of the family but he was not well-liked. His umarried sister, Harriet, who lives with him is parsimonious and self-pitying ond insists on telling anyone who will listen that Gregory ought never to have eaten the duck and that no one can blame her because she ordered cutlets for dinner. Her widowed sister-in-law, Mrs Zoe Matthews, also lives with them and she is one of those who must always be at the centre of atention. Mrs Matthews' son guy is weak andself-indulgent and it is left to his intelligent sister Stella to try to keep the peace. The setting is a large house on Grinley Heath (which Georgette explained was really Wimbledon) into which come Georgette's two detectives, Superintendent Hannayside and Sergeant Hemingway. The detectives are both capable and clever, and in this, their second novel, they each expand on their very different approach to detection.
'my favourite Mrs Heyer for a sparkling novel crystallised around a thread of crime…Mrs Heyer had me guessing in Behold, Here's Poison. She has such a zest for characterisation that she is hard put to it to deodorise a murderer…anyone who can appreciate a delightful book will take it and like it.
Ralph Partridge, "Detective Dozen", The New Statesman and Nation, 20 June 1936.
Pan edition (1949)
Number 4 in Heinemann's reissue of Heyer's detective novels (1954)
Behold, Here's Poison was reprinted 7 times in its first three years
"An amiable snake"
But in the end it is Stella's clever cousin, Randall Matthews, who takes centre stage and who works out who the poisoner is just a little ahead of the police. Randall is one of Heyer's sardonic yet compelling men. Intolerant of stupidity, a superb dresser, a man of impeccable taste, independently wealthy, he is also "an amiable snake". At least that's how Stella describes him. Randall is Gregory Matthews' heir and appears to have reason enought to kill him, but nothing shakes Randall's unshakeable demeanour. He is suave, incisive and generally disliked by most of his family – and he is known to reciprocate the feeling. Heyer gave him some marvellous lines and many readers adore him despite – or perhaps because of it. Georgette is writing her way towards a character who would apear in different guises in some of the Regency novels to come.
'Randall Matthews, "Amiable snake" dominates entire dazzling yarn, which is a marvellous mélange of malice, murder, mystery, and mirth. – Verdict: Priceless!

This is the Heyer mystery I return to most often. Aren't the 1936 & 39 covers interesting! The solitary house is striking when the proximity of neighbouring houses and how the characters lives intertwine with those of their neighbours is so central to the plot.
I think the use of a street of houses as a setting is something Heyer does very well, arguably better than other Golden Age writers.
Thank you for this excellent post!
jkloester
That's a fascinating observation and one I hadn't considered before. Thanks for posting. I love these early covers and am so glad to have the opportunity to put them out there via these posts. I also love Behold Here's Poison – probably my favourite Heyer mystery along with Death in the Stocks because of the marvellous characters. Mind you, having said that, I then remember No Wind of Blame and the running joke about "Prince"! I'm delighted you enjoyed the post. The Talisman Ring is next. Best wishes, Jen

NJ marijuana legalization: Stop and think of our kids: Plumeri
Published letter
Our country is being ravaged by an addiction epidemic that is tearing families apart. This preventable disease affects more people than cancer, heart disease or diabetes. And now New Jersey politicians are pushing to legalize another addictive drug — marijuana.
I'm proud of my New Jersey roots. Not only was I born and raised in Trenton, but I also chose to raise my children in this great state. I even built a ballpark in my hometown so other families can build precious memories like my dad and I did. Now I go to games with my grandkids, since my children decided to raise their kids in New Jersey too. But the state I love so dearly is disappointing us. The officials we elected are gambling with our children's health and futures. This blatant disregard for generations to come is alarming.
Marijuana is addictive and dangerous for kids. Their brains are still developing, so when teens use marijuana, it has a much stronger negative effect in terms of the likelihood of addiction and cognitive impact. But people are looking the other way. They see dollar signs. Entrepreneurs want to sell it and politicians want to tax it, so they dismiss the danger.
If we legalize marijuana, kids will have more access to the drug — in turn, increasing the volume of teens that are using, and boosting the prevalence of addiction. Colorado and Alaska have the highest rates in the country of first-time marijuana use among kids between the ages of 12 and 17, and are significantly above the national average for past-year marijuana use among adolescents. In contrast, New Jersey is well below the national average when it comes to first-time and past-year teen use. Legalizing marijuana in New Jersey will, almost certainly, drive these numbers up.
This matters because teens who smoke marijuana are twice as likely as adults to be addicted to the drug. In fact, a quarter of current marijuana users between the ages of 12 and 20 are addicted.
The risk of addiction is not limited to marijuana. Early use of any drug hikes the risk of addiction to all drugs. Kids who start using marijuana during adolescence are more likely to develop other drug or alcohol problems later in life. Research suggests that early marijuana use even increases the future risk of opioid use disorder. Instead of serving as the cure to the opioid epidemic, as many claim, legalizing recreational marijuana could very well make it worse!
We need to learn from our mistakes of the past. Just look at alcohol, tobacco and even prescription opioids. What happens when companies stand to profit from selling addictive drugs? They target kids. And customers that start young are more likely to become heavy and loyal lifetime users.
Short-sighted politicians also fail to consider the economic burden to society caused by the prevalence of addiction and substance use, which dwarfs the funds generated by taxing these substances.
Before we jump to legalize marijuana, let's consider alternatives, like the proposal from Sens. Ronald Rice and Robert Singer. Their common sense approach treats marijuana like the public health threat that it is. People who are caught using marijuana would receive a fine — but not be sent to jail. This is how we manage other public health risks, like texting while driving or not wearing a seat belt. People with multiple fines, or who are addicted to the drug, would be given treatment instead of criminal records.
Let's take a good, hard look at the facts before we legalize marijuana. I have. What's clear is that marijuana is dangerous for kids. We cannot let politics or profits take priority over our children's health. To the senators, representatives and governor of the great state of New Jersey: Please think of our kids and grandkids.

Next, he shared an overview of various outreach programs that the band conducted so far this fall and he expanded on details of the new Butler Field including its high tech capabilities. Dr. Ozzello introduced two MDB drum majors who gave personal testimonies about performing on the new practice field and the positive impact the new field has on the band's performances.
The Executive Committee report was given by President McCullough who stated that agendas for the committees were reviewed and approved. She also told the board the Executive Committee recommends that a new committee be added called the Student Life Ad-Hoc Committee which will include Million Dollar Band members; the purpose will be to hear from MDB members about their challenges and needs.
The Membership Committee report was given by chair Ronny Johnston. Mr. Johnston stated that ten members were present in their committee meeting.

There were several questions from board members regarding the scholarship and resolution in terms of wording and approval; these questions were answered by Kathy Yarbrough, Barbara Stone, and Pam McCullough.

22 Is Daniel's Final Or Seventieth Week Recorded in the Psalms Based on Creation Week?
Richard Gentry
In my 18th blog, I thought I could see the final week in the Psalms, but I was wrong. I read the Bible and extrapolate, and, sometimes, I am wrong. Nonetheless, some of the Psalms of the earlier 20th century years are quite striking, so now I try again. I begin with Psalm 120 corresponding to the year 2020. I began with Psalm 1 being 1901 based on the Psalms being the 19th book of the Bible, and the striking events that occurred in years thereafter, such as the Jews in Nazi Germany's death camps in 1942- 1944 corresponding to Psalms 42 to 44. An earlier blog covered other years such as the First Iraqi War in 1991 corresponding to Psalm 91. According to the New York Times, Psalm 91 was the favorite psalm of the Desert Stormers. Psalm 80 (1980) is specifically to Ephraim (Britain to me), Manasseh (America to me), and Benjamin (?). It states these tribes are in peril, and ask God to return to them by sending them a man. There was an election in the US in 1980 which fulfilled this...
21. On the Fig Tree
Matthew 24:29 (Christ speaking on the events of the end times) "Immediately after the (great) tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven (I suspect this will be a giant cross, perhaps like Constantine, the soon-to-be Emperor of Rome, saw just before his victory at the Milvian Bridge circa 313 AD. Words underneath the cross were 'In thi...
20. The Chronology of Daniel's Final or 70th Week -Revisited Again
Most prophecy writing that I have read divide the final week of Daniel- 7 Biblical years of 360 days/year into two equal portions of 1260 days each. I suspect they are wrong. Instead, the final week of Daniel works like this. Daniel's 70th week ends on Hanukkah, an 8- day Hebrew feast. Daniel 12:11 notes there will be 1290 days from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up. Now this is a problem as Daniel 7:25 & 12:7 as well as Revelation 12:6, 14 & 13:5 indicate the anti-Christ has 1260 days, the Great Tribulation, and he is toast. But it takes 30 days to rededicate a desecrated Temple according to my readings, hence the extra days. Daniel 9:24 indicates the final event of the seventy weeks is to anoint the Most Holy, which my readings indicate is a place. I believe that 30 days after the Great Tribulation ends would be the earliest end to the final week of Daniel. Therefore, Daniel's 70th week could not be divided into two equal 1...
19. REVELATION - Participants And Timing
About 30 years ago, I came to the LORD. I began to read the Bible regularly. One of the things that always puzzled me was where the Muslim Arabs were in the Bible. The Muslim Arabs say their ancestor was Ishmael, who was placed on a makeshift altar by his father Abraham as an offering to God. Some sources say on what became the (supposed) Temple Mount in Jerusalem though most Muslims believe it was in Mecca. The Christian Bible relates it was Isaac in the land of Moriah per Genesis 22:2. By tradition this is where Solomon's temple was built centuries later.
God promised Abraham the land of Canaan and also seed. However, God took His own time as He often does, and Abram and Sarah decided to help Him. As Sarah apparently could not have children, she gave her Egyptian maidservant to Abraham to produce the required seed per Genesis 16, a common custom for the time. Abraham was 86 at this time. At the age of 13 for Ishmael and 99 for Abraham, God instituted...
18. The Final Week of Daniel in the Psalms?
I believe the Bible clearly teaches that Christ's millennium of Revelation 20 is the Sabbath millennium of a Biblical week with each millennium representing a day in the week. I covered this in my very first writing using verses Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8, Hebrews 4:1-11, especially verse 4, and others. There were three periods within the initial 6,000 years, each approximately 2,000 years as follows: 1. Creation with the Flood at year 1656 after creation and Abram born 2008 years after creation, 2. Then about 2,000 years of Israel till the birth of Christ, 3. Then about 2,000 years of the church. We are at the end of this third period. If this interpretation is correct, then Christ should soon return. However, I first started looking for Him about 22 years ago, based on Archbishop Ussher's several centuries ago calculation of creation beginning on 23 October, 4004 BC. This was inscribed in many Bibles in the 1800s. If Ussher were correct, the final or 70th week of Daniel should h...
Psalm 118 is the last of the Egyptian Hallel Psalms (113 to 118) that are sung at Passover. Hallel means to praise. This is likely the last psalm that Christ and His disciples sang after the Passover Seder before heading for the Mount of Olives per Matthew 26:30 and Mark 14:26. Both report: And when they had sung a hymn (psalm), they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the Bible, and it also contains the middle verse – 118:8: It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man. Chapters were first put in the Bible circa 1300 or so, and verses in English with the Geneva Bible circa 1560. It is between the shortest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 117, and the longest chapter, Psalm 119.
JR Church wrote a book, Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms in 1986, revised in 1990. He believed the 150 psalms were a code in years, beginning with 1901 for the Psalm 1, 1902 for Psalm 2, 2000 for Psalm 100, 2018 for Psalm 118, a...
16. THE PROPHETIC (?) PSALMS
Prophecy to the Greek or Western man is prediction and fulfilment. To the Jew, it is pattern.
The Jewish sages compiled the 150 psalms long ago. We have forgotten how. They divided the Psalms into 5 books just like the Torah, or first 5 books of the Bible. 5 was the number for grace, the unmerited favor of God, and the Torah had 5 books. They believed these 5 books could be correlated with human life.
Genesis is the book of life and election.
Exodus is the book of redemption.
Leviticus is the book of sanctification.
Numbers is the book of testing and experience.
Deuteronomy is the book of divine government.
Genesis - God forms the soul.
Exodus - Birth...
15. Is the Book of Daniel Open?
Daniel is one of the major books on prophecy in the Bible. Daniel is divided into the first six chapters which are historical and the last six which are prophetic, though it should be noted that the famous statue of Nebuchadnezzar with the head of gold for Babylon, the upper torso and arms of silver for Medo-Persia, the bronze belly and thighs for Alexander the Great's Greek empire, and the lower legs of iron for Rome, still awaits the identity of the feet of iron and clay, but perhaps not much longer.
Though Revelation is an open book per Revelation 22:10, Daniel is a closed book till the time of the end per Daniel 12:4, i.e., the meanings of the prophecies will not be understood until the End Days. If Daniel is now an open book, then the End Times (Daniel's final or 70th week) could well have begun or are close to starting.
The upper four metals of Nebuchadnezzar's statue were likely clearly understood by the mid-2nd century BC, but certainly by Christ's crucifixion...
14. The Chronology of the Final or 70th Week of Daniel (Revelation)
Most of the books I have read on Daniel's final or 70th week relate it will be divided into two equal halves of 1260 days, a multiple of three and one-half multiplied by 360, the number of days in the ancient calendar year from Creation about 6,000 years ago until it was changed around 701 BC to the present 365.2422 days per year. I suspect this is from Daniel 9:27 "Then he (anti-Christ) shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on...
13 - THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS - 1776
In 1776, the Continental Army was defeated at Long Island in August. The 20,000 British and Hessian troops turned the Americans' flank and destroyed about one-third of their army which withdrew to their coastal fortifications The next day the British did not attack to Washington's surprise, but drew their cannons closer in a storm. There was a mile of open water between Long Island and safety in Manhattan. The British fleet could cut off their escape and easily bombard their Long Island fort from the water, in effect, surrounding them with artillery, but the winds were adverse, so the fleet remained at anchor below them. Washington decided to evacuate his entire force that night, but the sea was too rough to cross as darkness arrived. At 11 pm, the wind died down, and the troops began to enter the boats. All through the night they rowed to Manhattan and back and again. With the dawn, two-thirds of the army had been evacuated, but the remaining third was becoming more and more...


Antineoplastic agents due to their cytotoxic effects increase the amount of free radical in cells causing cell death. The aims of this study were to assess the possible toxic effects of Bleomycin (BLM) on the number of offspring and survival rate of fruit flies as well as the protective role of Berberis crataegina DC. fruit extracts (BCE) on these effects. Solutions prepared in different concentrations (0.125 mg/mL for BLM; 10 and 20 mg/mL for BCE) were applied to the adult fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster's wild-type individuals and 72 ± 4 h larvae to determine the number of offspring and survival rate, respectively. As a result, the higher number of offspring and survival rate in the BCE + BLM applied groups than the only BLM applied groups shows that BCE is an antioxidant and has a protective effect (p< 0.05). This protective effect can be explained as the prevention or removal of the free radicals formation from the environment.
