40th anniversary of autonomous status of the Orthodox Church of Japan
14. October 2010 - 13:05
On 10 October 2010, the 40th anniversary of canonization of St. Nicholas of Japan, Equal-to-the-Apostles, and the granting of the autonomous status to the Orthodox Church of Japan by the Russian Orthodox Church were celebrated at the Church of the Intercession in Osaka, Japan.
His Eminence Daniel, Archbishop of Tokyo and Metropolitan of All Japan, officiated at the celebration. Taking part bin the celebration, with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, was a delegation of the Russian Orthodox Church led by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations (DECR). The delegation consisted of Archbishop Feognost of Sergiev Posad, abbot of the Laura of the Holy Trinity and St. Sergius; the DECR deputy chairman archpriest Nikolai Balashov; DECR staff members hierodeacon Ioann (Kopeikin), L. Sevastianov and S. Petrovsky; and clerics and laymen of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Metropolitan Daniel of Tokyo, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, Archbishop Feognost of Sergiev Posad, Bishop Seraphim of Sendai, and many clergymen celebrated the Divine Liturgy, after which Metropolitan Daniel warmly greeted Metropolitan Hilarion and his suite. Metropolitan Hilarion read out the message of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the canonization of St. Nicholas of Japan and the autonomous status of the Orthodox Church of Japan and presented an icon of the Mother of God to the Church of the Intercession, and a panagia to the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Japan. A festive reception followed. That same day Metropolitan Daniel gave dinner in honour of the DECR chairman and members of the Russian Orthodox Church delegation.

Talk about a useful Web 2.0 site, whocalled.us is a site that utilizes user content for something good. In this case, creating a database of "unknown caller" numbers.
What happens is this, you see an "unknown caller" on your cell or Caller ID, and you go to whocalled.us to lookup the number. As of this writing, some of the most egregious "unknown callers" in the nation are listed, but the database can only improve with your help.
So if you can't find the number who called you, just create a new record with the number and the time and date and any other information about the call. If your number is already in the FTC's National Do Not Call List, Whocalled.us can also report your call as a violation to the FTC.

Oof. Did anyone else see that nasty looking security certificate warning when they went to donotcall.gov?
Good freaking grief. It's registered to "AT&T Government Solutions" not to the FTC. I guess that's the contractor running the site.
Good idea; bad implementation. Who Called won't last long if they allow violations like comment spamming and vote rigging. Users don't even have a contact to report violations of the sites policy. Why would they even allow a hotlink in their comments? That's great! You go there to try to stop being victimized over the phone and end up being fodder for web-crooks. Hey kids, don't be afraid to ask an adult for help!
A response to the user above: I haven't had any issues using the service. And now, a few months later, it's quite amusing to see the sheer number of comments. That's just amazing.


If you own an Airbnb rental, the way you pay taxes is a bit different. You can be a private homeowner, but when you list the home on Airbnb as a vacation rental, or a single room alone, you must claim any income made. In this article we will cover some of the basics of Airbnb ownership from a tax perspective.
If you do not rent your property for more than 14 days out of an entire tax year, you do not have to claim the income on taxes. If you use the rental yourself for 14 days or 10-percent of the days it is available for rent, you do not have to claim taxes on the short-term rental.
If you spend money on repairing or improving the rental, you can claim some of those expenses as business expenses. This helps reduce your tax liability. It is important to view the rules regarding what is tax deductible for Airbnb rental owners.
If you rent a room and not the whole home for 14-days or more, you only pay taxes on the rental income from that room. You will also only be able to deduct business expenses for amounts spent on that room. Mortgage interest and property taxes are 100-percent deductible.
Rather than attempting to figure the taxes on your Airbnb rental out by yourself, hire an accountant to do it for you. Your accountant will separate expenses and determine which credits or deductions you qualify for. This helps prevent mistakes and audits.

Saudi Arab Lawyer Issues Ultimatum For Danmark

An apology must be issued from those newspapers that reprinted cartoonist Kurt Westergaard's famous drawing of the prophet Mohammed
On behalf of an unknown number of the prophet's descendants, the lawyer, Faisal A.Z. Yamani in Jeddah has sent his letter to the editors-in-chief of the newspapers that published the cartoon. He demands that they apologize and publish a disclaimer by the end of September.
"It must be a clear, public and unconditional correction and apology for the offence and damage that Your newspaper caused, when it reprinted Mr. Westergaard's cartoon last year," says Faisal A.Z. Yamani.
Saudi's demand Apology in four languages, or else..!

Saudi lawyer wants apology for Motoons
Sure, as soon as you apologize for jihad
"It should be a clear, public and unconditional apology for the offence and harm caused by their newspaper," Yamani said.
I think that he and the Organization of the Islamic Conference and other Muslim groups and spokesmen should issue a clear, public, and unconditional apology for the Muslims who murdered and rioted because of…a cartoon.
"Saudi lawyer seeks apology over Danish Mohammed row," from AFP, August 30 (thanks to JW):
COPENHAGEN – A Saudi lawyer has demanded a public apology from a number of Danish dailies that reprinted a controversial cartoon of Prophet Mohammed in February 2008, Danish media reported on Sunday.
The lawyer, identified as Faisal A.Z. Yamani from Jeddah, sent an email to the newspapers that republished the drawing first printed in 2005 and demanded that they print an apology by the end of September, Danish news agency Ritzau reported.
"It should be a clear, public and unconditional apology for the offence and harm caused by their newspaper," Yamani wrote, demanding that the statement appear in the first three pages of the newspaper and in four languages, Danish, French, English and Arabic.
The caricature features Prophet Mohammed's head with a turban designed to look like a bomb with a lit fuse.
It was one of 12 cartoons first published in a Danish newspaper in 2005 and which sparked violent protests across the Muslim world in early 2006.
It was reprinted in mid-February 2008 by some 17 newspapers after Danish police foiled an alleged plot to kill the cartoonist, again triggering angry reactions in numerous Muslim countries.
They were angry, mind you, over the reprinting of the Motoon, not over the plot to kill the cartoonist.
And of course, the thuggery is ever present:
Yamani suggested in the email that Danish interests in the Middle East could suffer if an apology was not forthcoming.…

Israeli PM demands action against Swedish newspapers report on IDF body harvesting Palestinians coverup. Sack the journo and make formal apology – two Swedish Diplomats given marching order.
Davey Crockett says:

If the leaders of our Western nations had any backbone, this thinly veiled threat would be returned by severely damaging all muslim interests in our countries. I'm not advocating violence, I am simply saying that unless this threat is retracted, all muslims in positions of power should be removed from from their posts to prevent any more islamic subversion, and all assets should be siezed. All islamic immigration should be halted, and seen as an attempt at hostile takeover.
But then again, if our leaders had any backbone at all we would not even be in this situation.
kaw says:
Let the Saudis bleat – close their bank accounts – whatever. These people have been causing enough trouble. Now back to the rubbish about Israel harvesting organs – every assertion by the palestinians on Israeli human rights violations has been discounted on close examination. Significantly the arab media has remained silent on the numerous violations made by Hamas and Fatah, and indeed Hizbollah. One should also point out that the Israelis didn't riot and cause the deaths of over 300 people as muslims did in their "cartoon protest".
If muslims wish to accuse Israel, then they also need to be honest about what is happening in their own backyard and what their own people are doing.
I put the item up to show the reactions of States and Groups to bad media and how one group if complaining or making a thing about it, like the Saudi in question – he is a jerk, but if the same happens to another, say the IDF, "oh the topic is BS".
Frankly speaking, I see a lot of similarities. But the reality is it happens all the time. At one point the UN voted against and criticised and American action, the result was basically "FU" and funding was withdrawn, because they had a big stick.
As a former diplomat, I smell brinkmanship, excuses to make deals and so. I am not normally a skeptic but how about this for an idea. Though not proven, the UK and Libya got into a couple of taffs and the end result was a busines deal….perhaps. Now you will see Saudi and Denmark in teh same thing, and perhaps in a month's time, Denmark and Saudi will sign a business deal of some sort. In a month to four you will see Swedish arms manufacturers selling a submarine from Kokkens to the IDF. Who knows.
As for IDF and Palestinians with attrocities and bad behavour. The reality of war and battles is that there are from both sides, I have no opinion about the harvesting, it might be BS or not, but I know that horrors are committed by both sides and both try and politicise the other and hide their own. Like it or lump it the Palestinians are an occupied people and that is demeaning, like it lump it there have been crimes by the IDF such as the recent Gaza War, like it or lump it there are Isrealis whom want to have a greater Isreal and they will steal the land from the residents, like it or lump it the Palestinians have been their own worst enemy and do not deserve much sympathy, and like it or lumpt it every time there is a missile fired into Israel – they are going to kick arse and it should be expected.
So the question – who are the real players in Gaza???
Mullah Lodabullah says:
* Like it or lump it the Palestinians are an occupied people and that is demeaning
Really, Solkhar? Occupied by whom? Those to whom the land was covenanted, perhaps? They better have a word with the One who
cut the covenant.
Kaw,
Gaza is, I think, the middle-ground and playing field simply because of the conveniance of its location. Next to Egypt, a fractured shard not linked to the West Bank, controlled by Hamas, not Fatah or the PA beaucracy all make for many different play-making.

Chapter 27 BWV 90 Es reisset euch ein schrecklich Ende
You will be swept away with a terrible ending.
Aria (tenor)–recit (alto)–aria (bass)–recit (tenor)–chorale.
The twenty-sixth cantata of the cycle for the twenty-fifth Sunday after Trinity.
Can one imagine a more stirring and invigorating opening movement than this? Of course the question is absurd; look, for example, at that from C 168 (vol 3, chapter 2) or the choruses of 178, 26 and 111 (vol 2, chapters 9, 25 and 36). But art is art and great art creates great illusions which is why, when faced with a first rate performance of this aria for tenor and strings it is difficult to rid oneself of the impression that little else could create quite the same level of excitement.
The text, in fact, is not so very different from that of C 168 which pictures the very mountains crumbling at the fear of God′s judgement. Here the warning is of a similar terrible end and the sweeping away of those whose sins abound but whose stubborn brains disregard their Judge. The images are of unrestrained terror, limitless sin and wilful stubbornness, over-ridden by the mighty power of the Divine Referee.
The text warns of the terrible end which will sweep away the disdainful sinners—-the beaker cup of sin overflows as they disregard God, their ultimate arbitrator. Bach could have created a turbulent and tempestuous chorus from these images akin to those mentioned above. The reason he did not is probably because he was already immersed in the compositions of, and/or preparations for imminent and necessarily imposing works that were to commence with C 70 the following week.
The twenty-five bar ritornello (strings, possibly with oboes doubling, and continuo) is heard in full four times and it is packed with powerful images. The semiquaver theme is carried throughout by the first violins without being passed to the other instruments at any time, in itself a symbol of stubborn perseverance. The lower strings support, often with hammer blows on only the first and second beats of the bars.
The striking ascending scale (bar 10) suggests the arm of God sweeping away the reprobates and the final eight bars of the ritornello are a masterpiece of rhythmic and harmonic distraction and agitation. The tenor enters with a long melisma with implications of the rending apart of the body at the moment of demise.
The overall effect may be considered the equivalent of a twentieth century horror movie, an extraordinarily dramatic, baroque representation, particularly from a composer cautioned against presenting music of operatic scale and style!
The middle section is more lightly scored but hardly less intense. It takes the manner of a stern sermon in which verbal instruction and direction become as significant as emotive arousal—- your sins abound and you flout your Judge (at your peril!). The strings make their presence felt in blocks of approximately six bars each, derived precisely from the ritornello. Their function is to remind sinners, in these moments of explication, of the ′terrible end′ that still awaits them.
Not that it is likely to be forgotten since the entire opening section is reprised, presenting us with two more statements of that disturbing ritornello.
The worst case scenario has been stated and pictured and the poet now begins to lead us gently towards a more palatable alternative. The secco alto recitative begins with a typically German maxim of the time, often carved into wooden sideboards—-God′s goodness is renewed every day. Immediate musical contrast, major to minor, now marks the recollection of the natural iniquities of man in whose sins and ingratitude lie the seed of our own destruction (bars 1-5). The text thence becomes cajoling—-are you not moved by His innumerable good deeds?
But apparently not. A movement which began hopefully ends with a return to the despair at human failings—-such are your transgressions that His good works are wasted upon you. The light of redemption flickers vaguely in the distance but not, apparently, sufficiently to be grasped by those who most need it.
The central aria is for bass, strings and either horn or trumpet. Dürr (p 639) informs us that the extant parts of this cantata does not indicate the instrumentation, hence the additional uncertainty about whether oboes were intended to double the strings. The likelihood is that the trumpet was Bach′s choice if only for the implications of the Day of Judgement. The writing is extravagantly virtuoso, much of the rapid scale work being affected through lip glissandi. The effect, particularly when it is performed on period instruments, remains stunning if somewhat archaic to the modern ear.
The text follows the pattern established in the opening aria of a rant against sinners and an assertion of the dangers in which they find themselves—-God, in His fury, will extinguish even the light of His word—-you depraved sinners have desecrated His house and made it a den of criminals! The music suggests a number of images, the trumpet of judgement day, the fury of the Lord and the sweeping of His arm, eradicating not only His light but the very root and origin of the wickedness corrupting His house. This is an arresting movement intending, as was the tenor aria, to strike fear in the heart by dramatically portraying both the power and the vehemence of an avenging Divinity.
Opening trumpet theme.
The ritornello begins with all parts playing a fanfare-like figure in unison. This is not a device that Bach employed often but when he did use it, the result was striking e.g. the great harpsichord concerto in Dm and also that for three harpsichords in the same key. The effect is one of beginning as a single unit, thence blossoming into a flourishing declamation of import, significance or complexity; great oaks emerging from small acorns.
Here the opening bar is a simple, conventional and almost naive statement of display but before it has finished the trumpet gives us a taste of what is to come. Its rolling demi-semi-quavers elicit a similar response from the strings as early as bar three, where-after the music becomes a battle between first violins and trumpet. The middle strings do little more than punctuate this skirmish above a continuo which alternates between the reiteration of a persistent three-note figure and ominous repetitions of a single pitch. The scene is set for the voice of authority, the bass, to enter confidently and berate us loudly.
His melodic line is based upon the shape of the fanfare and a moment of dramatic expectation arises with the temporary cessation of all activity on the word aus—-the putting out of the flame of His word (bar 17 and again later in bar 49). The middle section begins at bar 23 and particular musical point is given to those words which convey the sense of villainy and outrage in the temples (bar 27). The upper strings hark back to the initial message much as in the opening aria, the stubbornness of their repeated figuration a constant reminder of the avenging Judge.
We are certainly not permitted to forget Him. An adapted version of the first section reappears to conclude the movement (from bar 38). The warning has been given and both the consequences of sin and avenging Divine anger have been graphically depicted. The morality of this Sunday cantata, presumably like that of the sermon, now demands that people note the cautions and take immediate steps to redeem themselves.
Tenor recitative.
So the tide has turned and the text of the penultimate movement moves towards a position of reassurance of God′s protection The tenor recitative, like that for alto, is plain secco, perhaps another indication that Bach was preoccupied with the Christmas and New Year repertoire and limited in the time, though clearly not the quality, that he could invest in these smaller works preceding it. We are reassured that God′s eye looks upon us as the chosen ones and He and His lieutenants offer protection even against limitless enemies—-thus is His power revealed to us.
It is slightly surprising to find an essentially triumphant movement set in minor modes; perhaps this was to prepare us for the measured message and musical character of the closing chorale returning us to Dm, the key of the opening aria.
This chorale was later to be used, transposed down a tone, for C 102 a cantata for the tenth day after Trinity 1726. It may, however, be familiar to more listeners as the fifth movement of the St John Passion where it carries a similar prayer for the Lord of all creation to bestow His good will upon us and save His vengeance for those who seek to thwart Him. C 90 ends with very much the same entreaty—-lead and bless us all in town and country—-protect us from the devil′s intrigue and homicide—-from that blessed moment, grant that we may remain with You forever.
Bach clearly harmonised the chorale with an ear for the requirements of this work. The bass line erupts into a stream of quavers to underline the mention of Satan′s influence but more striking is the chord of d flat which ends the penultimate phrase. It casts a brief cold shadow over the ′blessed moment′ which clearly is a reference to that event of passing from this world to the next, death. In Lutheran theology, demise and the leaving of this life may be portrayed by the prelates in terms of optimism, bliss and something to be yearned for. But Bach knew well, indeed who better, the pain of separation and bereavement and he often reminds us of it in purely musical terms.
We will discover various occasions when he conveys this message more expansively. Here he does it subtly and succinctly with just one bleak, unexpected and unpredictable chord.

The Elemental House: An Epic Off-Grid Retreat
360 degree views and kangaroos galore.
"Something simple and unadorned and something that really took advantage of the amazing 360 degree views," says homeowner Sue Preston of the vision for The Elemental House, an innovative weekend retreat in High Camp, Victoria that's nothing short of spectacular.
Situated on an exposed ridge line, the remote location about an hour outside Melbourne led architect Ben Callery to suggest an off-grid approach — he knew that would make the most sense from both an economic and environmental perspective. The home sits atop some 100 acres of denuded sheep-farming land, ideal for a real weekend escape complete with views of the gorgeous surrounding countryside.
The home itself is only 10 sq. meters, but it packs a punch. With one bedroom, one bathroom, and a wealth of views the surrounding landscape (kangaroos included), the small-footprint house suits their two-person household perfectly.
We sat down with Sue to get the lowdown on this anything-but-boring weekend retreat.

Tell us about what you do for a living. What hats do you wear?
Two different ones at present. I am a travel writer so spend a lot of my time interstate or overseas. However since building our country home I have also become a tree planter. The 100-acres on which our house is situated is old denuded sheep farming land so we want to restore the natural habitat as much as possible.
What was your vision for the Elemental House?
Something simple and unadorned and something that really took advantage of the amazing 360 degree views. For a weekend retreat it needed to be a place that was unfussy and uncomplicated. It's only a one bedroom, 10 square home, but that suits our two-person household perfectly. We do without mod cons like a washing machine and dishwasher but I had to have a beautiful bath.
What prompted your desire to go off-grid?
Cost was a factor because we were a long way from the nearest power pole. Installing solar panels and batteries was more expensive than connecting to the grid but it made sense to us, both from an economic and environmental point of view. I'm glad we did it.
How do the Boston Chairs fit into the overall design of the home and how do they serve your lifestyle?
The Cubitt table and Boston Dining Chairs fit beautifully in our large living area. We have spotted gum ceilings so I didn't want to have timber furniture as well. I love the lightness they bring to the room which has a lot of black and a lot of concrete. I wanted to fill the house with Australian-made and Australian-designed products as much as possible so they fitted the bill in that regard too.
What 5 words would you use to describe the style or overall feeling of the home?
Innovative, simple, stylish, relaxed, welcoming.
How did Ben Callery help you achieve your dream house?
I went to him with a design sketch. I thought it was pretty good but he came back with something that was twice as good. That's why you employ an architect! He and Tim Shallue were wonderful to work with. They had a wealth of good ideas, the patience to explain them and the ability to put them into practice.
What materials were important for you to incorporate into the build?
It was important to make the house as sustainable and as bushfire resistant as possible. All new homes built in rural areas of Victoria have to have a bushfire rating (BAL rating) and regulations sensibly dictate criteria that need to be met. We built the house with spotted gum (which looks good as well as being bushfire resistant) and incorporated other features such a fire tank and mesh under the decks to prevent ember attacks. Having our own solar system too means we won't lose power in an outage.
What have you loved most about the home?
It's turned me into an early riser! I love getting up in the early morning and going to our east facing windows to see the sun coming up. The kangaroos are cropping the grass close to the house and the wombats are scurrying back to their burrows. I never tire of the views from every room of the house. I've become a travel writer who doesn't want to travel!


A majority government refers to one or multiple governing parties that hold an absolute majority of seats in legislature. This is as opposed to a minority government, where the largest party in a legislature only has a plurality of seats.
A majority government is usually assured of having its legislation passed and rarely, if ever, has to fear being defeated in parliament. In contrast, a minority government must constantly bargain for support from other parties in order to pass legislation and avoid being defeated on motions of no confidence.
The term "majority government" may also be used for a stable coalition of two or more parties to form an absolute majority. One example of such an electoral coalition is in Australia, where the Liberal and National parties have run as an electoral bloc for decades.
Another example was the 2010-2015 coalition government in the United Kingdom, which was composed of the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties. The Conservatives won the most seats of any single party in the 2010 election, but fell short of an absolute majority. However, by combining with the Liberal Democrats a solid majority in the House of Commons was created. This was the first true coalition government in the UK since World War II.
Federal elections were held in Australia on 12 December 1906. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 18 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Protectionist Party minority government led by Prime Minister Alfred Deakin retained government, despite winning the fewest House of Representatives votes and seats of the three parties. Parliamentary support was provided by the Labour Party led by Chris Watson, while the Anti-Socialist Party (renamed from the Free Trade Party), led by George Reid, remained in opposition.
Watson resigned as Labour leader in October 1907 and was replaced by Andrew Fisher. The Protectionist minority government fell in November 1908 to Labour, a few days before Reid resigned as Anti-Socialist leader, who was replaced by Joseph Cook. The Labour minority government fell in June 1909 to the newly formed Commonwealth Liberal Party led by Deakin. The party was formed on a shared anti-Labour platform as a merger between Deakin, leader of the Protectionists, and Cook, leader of the Anti-Socialists, in order to counter Labour's growing popularity. The merger didn't sit well with several of the more progressive Protectionists, who defected to Labour or sat as independents.
The merger would allow the Deakin Commonwealth Liberals to construct a mid-term parliamentary majority, however less than a year later at the 1910 election, Labour won both majority government and a Senate majority, representing a number of firsts: it was Australia's first elected federal majority government, Australia's first elected Senate majority, the world's first Labour Party majority government at a national level, and after the 1904 Watson minority government the world's second Labour Party government at a national level. The 113 acts passed in the second Fisher government (1910–13) exceeded even the output of the second Deakin government over a similar period. At the time, it represented the culmination of Labour's involvement in politics. It was a period of reform unmatched in the Commonwealth until the 1940s under John Curtin and Ben Chifley.
The Canadian federal election of 1953 was held on August 10 to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada of the 22nd Parliament of Canada. Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent led his Liberal Party of Canada to its fifth consecutive majority government, although the party lost seats to the other parties.
The Progressive Conservative Party, led by former Premier of Ontario, George Drew, formed the official opposition.
The 1988 Canadian federal election was held November 21, 1988, to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada of the 34th Parliament of Canada. It was an election largely fought on a single issue: the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Incumbent Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, had signed the agreement. The Liberal Party, led by John Turner, was opposed to the agreement, as was the New Democratic Party led by Ed Broadbent.
The Conservatives went into the election suffering from a number of scandals. Despite winning a large majority only four years before, they looked vulnerable at the outset.
The Liberals had some early struggles, notably during one day in Montreal where three different costs were given for the proposed Liberal daycare program. The campaign was also hampered by a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report that stated there was a movement in the backroom to replace Turner with Jean Chrétien, even though Turner had passed a leadership review in 1986.
Support swung back and forth between the Conservatives and Liberals over free trade. With mid-campaign polls suggesting a Liberal government, this prompted the Conservatives to stop the relatively calm campaign they had been running, and go with Allan Gregg's suggestion of "bombing the bridge" that joined anti-FTA voters and the Liberals: Turner's credibility. The ads focused on Turner's leadership struggles, and combined with over $6 million CAD in pro-FTA ads, managed to stop the Liberals' momentum.
The Liberals reaped most of the benefits of opposing the FTA and doubled their representation to 83 seats to emerge as the main opposition; the NDP had also made gains but finished a distant third with 43 seats. The Progressive Conservatives won a reduced but strong majority government with 169 seats. Despite the Liberals' improved standing, the results were considered a disappointment for Turner, after polls in mid-campaign predicted a Liberal government. The election loss sealed Turner's fate and he eventually resigned in 1990, and was succeeded by Jean Chrétien.
Although most Canadians voted for parties opposed to free trade, the Tories were returned with a majority government, and implemented the deal.
Until the 2011 federal election, the 1988 election was the most successful in the New Democratic Party's history. The party dominated in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, won significant support in Ontario and elected its first (and, until the 2008 election, only) member from Alberta.
This was the second election contested by the Green Party, and it saw a more than 50% increase in its vote, but it remained a minor party.
The election was the last for Canada's Social Credit movement: the party won no seats, and had an insignificant portion of the popular vote.
The newly founded Reform Party also contested the election, but was considered little more than a fringe group, and did not win any seats.
For the Progressive Conservatives, this was the last federal election they would win.
The British Columbia general election of 1996 was the thirty sixth provincial election in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The election was called on April 30, 1996, and held on May 28, 1996. Voter turnout was 59.1 per cent of all eligible voters. The election is notable for producing a "false-winner" outcome, rewarding a party that got second in the popular vote with a majority government.
New Democratic Party leader and provincial premier Mike Harcourt had resigned as the result of a fundraising scandal involving one of the members of his caucus. Glen Clark was chosen by the party to replace Harcourt. Clark led the party to a second majority government, defeating the Liberal Party of Gordon Campbell. Campbell had become leader of the Liberal Party after Gordon Wilson had been forced out of the position because of his relationship with another Liberal member of the legislature, Judi Tyabji.
After Wilson was defeated by Campbell in the convention to choose a new leader, he and Tyabji left the Liberal Party to establish the Progressive Democratic Alliance. Wilson was able to win re-election, but Tyabji was not, going down to defeat with all of the other candidates fielded by the new party.
The once-dominant Social Credit Party collapsed. It elected Grace McCarthy as its leader in 1993, but she was unable to make a bid to get into the legislature until 1994, when she lost a by-election in the longtime Socred stronghold of Matsqui. Soon afterward, four of its remaining six members defected to Reform BC, leaving Social Credit without official status in the legislature. One more seat was lost in a by-election, reducing the party's one representation to one MLA, Cliff Serwa. However, Serwa retired before the election, leaving the party with no incumbents. Party leader Larry Gillanders withdrew from the race while the campaign was in progress, saying that all right wing parties should unite to topple the ruling NDP. The Socreds won only 0.4 percent of the vote and were completely shut out of the legislature. While the party still nominally exists, it has never elected another MLA, and even lost its registration from 2013 to 2016.
Reform BC held on to two of its four seats.
Although the Liberals won a larger share of the popular vote, most of their votes were wasted in the outer regions of the province; they only won eight seats in the Vancouver area. This allowed the NDP to win 6 more seats than the opposition Liberals, eking out a majority government.
The 2016 Australian federal election was a double dissolution election held on Saturday 2 July to elect all 226 members of the 45th Parliament of Australia, after an extended eight-week official campaign period. It was the first double dissolution election since the 1987 election and the first under a new voting system for the Senate that replaced group voting tickets with optional preferential voting.Unusually, the outcome could not be predicted the day after the election, with many close seats in doubt. After a week of vote counting, no party had won enough seats in the House of Representatives to form a majority government. Neither the Liberal/National Coalition's incumbent Turnbull Government nor the Australian Labor Party's Shorten Opposition were in a position to claim victory. During the uncertain week following the election, contradicting his earlier statements, Turnbull negotiated with the crossbench. He secured confidence and supply support from Bob Katter, Andrew Wilkie and Cathy McGowan in the event of a hung parliament and resulting minority government, as seen in 2010. On 10 July, Shorten conceded defeat, acknowledging that the Coalition had enough seats to form either minority or majority government. Turnbull claimed victory later that day. In the closest federal majority result since 1961, the ABC declared on 11 July that the Coalition could form a one-seat majority government.In the 150-seat House of Representatives, the one-term incumbent Coalition government was reelected with a reduced 76 seats, marking the first time since 2004 that a government had been reelected with an absolute majority. Labor picked up a significant number of previously government-held seats for a total of 69 seats, recovering much of what it had lost in its severe defeat of 2013. On the crossbench, the Greens, the Nick Xenophon Team, Katter's Australian Party, and independents Wilkie and McGowan won a seat each. For the first time since federation, the post-election opposition won more seats than the post-election government in the two most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria. One re-count was held by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) for the Division of Herbert, confirming that Labor won the seat by 37 votes.The final outcome in the 76-seat Senate took over four weeks to complete despite significant voting changes. Announced on 4 August, it revealed a reduced plurality of 30 seats for the Coalition, 26 for Labor, and a record 20 for crossbenchers including 9 Greens, 4 from One Nation and 3 from the Xenophon Team. Former broadcaster and Justice Party founder Derryn Hinch won a seat, while Jacqui Lambie, Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm and Family First's Bob Day retained theirs. The Coalition will require nine additional votes for a Senate majority, an increase of three. Both major parties agreed to allocate six-year terms to the first six senators elected in each state, while the last six would serve three-year terms. Labor and the Coalition each gained a six-year Senator at the expense of Hinch and the Greens, who criticised the major parties for rejecting the "recount" method despite supporting it in two bipartisan senate resolutions in 1998 and 2010.A number of initially-elected senators were declared ineligible a result of the 2017–18 Australian parliamentary eligibility crisis, and replaced after recounts.
Labor's constitution has long stated: "The Australian Labor Party is a democratic socialist party and has the objective of the democratic socialisation of industry, production, distribution and exchange, to the extent necessary to eliminate exploitation and other anti-social features in these fields". This "socialist objective" was introduced in 1921, but was later qualified by two further objectives: "maintenance of and support for a competitive non-monopolistic private sector" and "the right to own private property". Labor governments have not attempted the "democratic socialisation" of any industry since the 1940s, when the Chifley Government failed to nationalise the private banks, and in fact have privatised several industries such as aviation and banking. Labor's current National Platform describes the party as "a modern social democratic party".The ALP was not founded as a federal party until after the first sitting of the Australian Parliament in 1901. Nevertheless, it is regarded as descended from labour parties founded in the various Australian colonies by the emerging labour movement in Australia, formally beginning in 1891. Labor is thus the country's oldest political party. Colonial labour parties contested seats from 1891, and federal seats following Federation at the 1901 federal election. The ALP formed the world's first Labour Party government, as well as the world's first social democratic government at a national level. Labor was the first party in Australia to win a majority in either house of the Australian Parliament, at the 1910 federal election. The Australian Labor Party at both a federal and state/colony level predates, among others, both the British Labour Party and the New Zealand Labour Party in party formation, government, and policy implementation. Internationally, the ALP is a member of the Progressive Alliance network of social-democratic parties, having previously been a member of the Socialist International.
The Australian Labor Party (New South Wales Branch), also known as NSW Labor, is the New South Wales branch of the Australian Labor Party. The parliamentary leader is elected from and by the members of the party caucus, comprising all party members in the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. The party factions have a strong influence on the election of the leader. The leader's position is dependent on the continuing support of the caucus (and party factions) and the leader may be deposed by failing to win a vote of confidence of parliamentary members. By convention, the premier sits in the Legislative Assembly, and is the leader of the party controlling a majority in that house. The party leader also typically is a member of the Assembly, though this is not a strict party constitutional requirement. Barrie Unsworth, for example, was elected party leader while a member of the Legislative Council. He then transferred to the Assembly by winning a seat at a by-election.
When the Labor party wins sufficient seats to be able to control a majority in the Legislative Assembly, the party leader becomes the State Premier and Labor will form the government. When Labor is the largest party not in government, the party leader becomes the Leader of the Opposition. To become a Premier or Opposition Leader, the party leader must be or within a short period of time become a member of the Legislative Assembly.
The Australian Labor Party (Queensland Branch), commonly known as Queensland Labor is the Queensland branch of the Australian Labor Party.
The Australian Labor Party (South Australian Branch), commonly known as South Australian Labor, is the South Australian Branch of the Australian Labor Party, originally formed in 1891 as the United Labor Party of South Australia. It is one of two major parties in the bicameral Parliament of South Australia, the other being the Liberal Party of Australia (SA Division).
Since the 1970 election, marking the beginning of democratic proportional representation (one vote, one value) and ending decades of pro-rural electoral malapportionment known as the Playmander, Labor have won 11 of the 15 elections. Spanning 16 years and 4 terms, Labor was last in government from the 2002 election until the 2018 election. Jay Weatherill led the Labor government since a 2011 leadership change from Mike Rann. During 2013 it became the longest-serving state Labor government in South Australian history, and in addition went on to win a fourth four-year term at the 2014 election.
Labor's most notable historic Premiers of South Australia include Thomas Price in the 1900s, Don Dunstan in the 1970s and John Bannon in the 1980s.
The Australian Labor Party (Tasmanian Branch), commonly known as Tasmanian Labor is the Tasmanian branch of the Australian Labor Party.
The Australian Labor Party (Western Australian Branch), commonly known as WA Labor, is the Western Australian branch of the Australian Labor Party. It is the current governing party of Western Australia since winning the 2017 election under Mark McGowan.
The Liberal Party of Australia (Victorian Division) is the state division of the Liberal Party of Australia in Victoria.
A minority government, or minority cabinet or minority parliament, is a cabinet formed in a parliamentary system when a political party or coalition of parties does not have a majority of overall seats in the parliament. It is sworn into office, with or without the formal support of other parties, to enable a government to be formed. Under such a government, legislation can only be passed with the support of enough other members of the legislature to provide a majority, encouraging multi-partisanship. In bicameral parliaments, the term relates to the situation in chamber whose confidence is considered most crucial to the continuance in office of the government (generally, the lower house).
A minority government tends to be much less stable than a majority government because if they can unite for the purpose, opposing parliamentary members have the numbers to vote against legislation, or even bring down the government with a vote of no confidence.
The New Democratic Party of Manitoba (NDP; French: Nouveau Parti démocratique du Manitoba) is a social-democratic political party in Manitoba, Canada. It is the provincial wing of the federal New Democratic Party of Canada, and is a successor to the Manitoba Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. It is currently the opposition party in Manitoba.
The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (French: Parti progressiste-conservateur de l'Ontario), often shortened to Ontario PC Party, PC, or Conservatives, is a centre-right political party in Ontario, Canada. The party has been led by Premier Doug Ford since March 10, 2018.
It has governed the province for 80 of the 151 years since Confederation, including an uninterrupted run from 1943 to 1985. It currently holds a majority government in the 42nd Parliament of Ontario.
The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP) is a social-democratic political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It currently forms the official opposition, but has been a dominant force in Saskatchewan politics since the 1940s. The party is the successor to the Saskatchewan section of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), and is affiliated with the federal New Democratic Party.
The Scottish National Party (SNP; Scottish Gaelic: Pàrtaidh Nàiseanta na h-Alba, Scots: Scots Naitional Pairtie) is a Scottish nationalist and social-democratic political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence. It is the second-largest political party by membership in the United Kingdom, behind the Labour Party and ahead of the Conservative Party; it is the third-largest by overall representation in the House of Commons, behind the Conservative Party and the Labour Party; and it is the largest political party in Scotland, where it has the most seats in the Scottish Parliament and 35 out of the 59 Scottish seats in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The current Scottish National Party leader, Nicola Sturgeon, has served as First Minister of Scotland since November 2014.
Founded in 1934 with the amalgamation of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party, the party has had continuous parliamentary representation in Westminster since Winnie Ewing won the 1967 Hamilton by-election. With the establishment of the devolved Scottish Parliament in 1999, the SNP became the second-largest party, serving two terms as the opposition. The SNP gained power at the 2007 Scottish Parliament election, forming a minority government, before going on to win the 2011 Parliament election, after which it formed Holyrood's first majority government. It was reduced back to a minority government at the 2016 election.
The SNP is the largest political party in Scotland in terms of both seats in the Westminster and Holyrood parliaments, and membership, reaching 125,482 members as of August 2018, 35 MPs and over 400 local councillors. The SNP also currently has 2 MEPs in the European Parliament, who sit in The Greens/European Free Alliance (Greens/EFA) group. The SNP is a member of the European Free Alliance (EFA). The party does not have any members of the House of Lords, as it has always maintained a position of objecting to an unelected upper house.

Калмыцкий чай (калм. Хальмг цә) — торговое название прессованного в виде кирпичей зелёного чая, появившееся во времена СССР. Основными его потребителями тогда были народы Калмыкии, Тывы, Горного Алтая (Шории) и Бурятской АССР. Такой чай привозили из северных провинций Китая и Грузинской ССР. В состав чая входят старые чайные листья (не менее 70—75 %), зелёные и одревесневшие стебли (не более 25—30 %). В России известен с конца XVII века под названием «чай богдойский».

Приготовление напитка

Калмыцкий способ приготовления чая схож с монгольским и частично с киргизским. Это один из древнейших способов, распространившийся на большой территории от пустыни Гоби и Чахара до ногайских степей междуречья Волги и Дона. Калмыки привезли его из Джунгарии в XVII веке.

Кирпичный чай разделывается на кусочки и погружается в котёл со слегка нагретой водой, из расчёта одна горсть (около 50 г) на литр воды, и доводят до кипения. Затем добавляют молоко (объёмом, в два раза превышающим объём воды) и соль по вкусу. Также могут добавляться лавровый лист, мускатный орех (реже), гвоздика, немного сливочного масла (иногда). Полученную смесь кипятят 10—15 минут при постоянном помешивании. Далее её процеживают через волосяное сито, а чайные листья отжимают. Из-за нехватки в солончаковых степях подходящей воды чай может готовиться с небольшим её количеством (1—1,5 стакана), а основную его часть будет составлять молоко.

Пьют чай с сухарями из пшеничного масляного теста или лепёшкой. Во время приёма гостей чай подаётся в первую очередь, другие блюда могут быть предложены позже.

Morocco arrests six Daesh-linked extremist suspects
Morocco arrests six Daesh-linked extremist suspects /node/1486946/middle-east
The suspects, aged between 22 and 28, were "supporters" of Daesh and suspected of planning "terrorist acts", the central bureau of investigations said in a statement. (DR/File Photo)
RABAT: Moroccan authorities said Tuesday they have arrested six suspected jihadists with links to Deash.
The suspects, aged between 22 and 28, were "supporters" of Daesh and suspected of planning "terrorist acts", the central bureau of investigations said in a statement.
They were arrested in the town of Sale near Rabat in a raid led by the bureau's anti-terrorism squad, during which electronic devices, bladed weapons and "extremist" manuscripts were found, it added.
Suspected extremist sympathisers are to go on trial in Sale next week for the murder of two Scandinavian women in Morocco's High Atlas mountains last December.
Morocco has been spared largescale extremist attacks since a 2011 bombing in Marrakesh's famed Jamaa El Fna Square that killed 17 people, mainly European tourists.
But each year authorities announce the dismantling of dozens of Daesh cells.

Retired Lebanese soldiers in tense standoff with army during benefit cuts protest /node/1528066/middle-east

Dressed in military uniforms, large numbers of veterans attempted to force their way through barricades set up to stop demonstrators reaching the city's parliament building where a final vote on a controversial draft austerity budget was taking place
The meeting to vote on the 2019 draft budget came after a marathon three days of discussions
BEIRUT: Retired Lebanese soldiers on Friday came close to clashing with the country's army when weeks of protests over planned benefit cuts reached boiling point in the capital Beirut.
Dressed in military uniforms, large numbers of veterans attempted to force their way through barricades set up to stop demonstrators reaching the city's parliament building where a final vote on a controversial draft austerity budget was taking place.
A military source told Arab News that the Lebanese army leadership had decided to block access to Najma Square, in Beirut's Central District, where Parliament members were sitting.
But former soldiers, joined by the parents of army martyrs and activists from the Sabaa and Communist parties, surrounded the building in nearby streets before attempting to push through barbed wire, concrete and metal barriers erected by the Lebanese army and the Internal Security Forces.
The protesters, waving Lebanese and army flags, got as far as the entrance to Maarad Street, on which Parliament is located, putting them in direct confrontation with the Lebanese troops.
Ten brigades of reinforcements were drafted in to help push back the veterans before protest leaders eased tensions by calling for a retreat to a nearby square to avoid any further clashes.
The meeting to vote on the 2019 draft budget came after a marathon three days of discussions. Before entering the parliamentary session, Lebanese Minister of Defense Elias Bou Saab said that "misleading the retired soldiers" would be "harmful to the image and demands of the protesters" and called on them to carry out "peaceful demonstrations." He added that there had been mixed and confused messages regarding benefit cuts.
However, retired Brig. Gen. Georges Nader had vowed that protesters would not back off until the vote on their benefits was dropped.
Discussing the protests in Parliament, Samy Gemayel, president of the Phalange party, objected to the reduction in the army budget, to which Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said: "This has been concluded on the bases of an understanding with the army and the military establishment."
MP Paula Yacoubian said that "retired soldiers are trying to storm Parliament," to which Berri said: "Those who want to storm Parliament have not yet been born."
The row had centered on a controversial article concerning amendments to the country's income tax act, and Lebanese Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil insisted on defending it. He said: "It does not cost the retired soldiers, for instance, more than 3,000 Lebanese pounds ($2) per month. This amount rises to 400,000 pounds for brigadiers." He added: "Which country in the world gives a retiree 85 percent of his salary?"
After a meeting between the minister and Nader in Parliament, the retired brigadier general went out to reassure the veterans that cuts from their salaries in respect of medicine and income tax would be reduced. Less intense protests continued for more than three hours before Parliament approved the relevant article in the budget.
Meanwhile, Berri had started the Parliament session by reading a resignation submitted by Hezbollah MP Nawaf Musawi.

The Princess Alexia Fund Charity Ride on the late May Bank Holiday weekend was the most successful yet and the total amount of money now raised for the Children's Hospital charity is approaching £30,000.
Loving parents Gaz McArthur and Jade Ellerby organise the 100 mile ride from Sheffield Children's Hospital to the east coast at Ingoldmells to remember their daughter Alexia-Leigh and raise funds for the hospital's charity.
Four-year-old Alexia-Leigh was taken ill in 2013 and diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Despite the great care of experts at Sheffield Children's Hospital she sadly died of meningitis just days later.
This year was the third annual Ride and it was the largest yet with 23 riders all given a special send off by Giro D'Italia-Vuelta a España double winner Giovanni Battaglin and Planet X owner Dave Loughran early on Saturday morning.
Leaving Sheffield together, the riders ride their own pace eastwards towards Skegness before a final regrouping to ride into Ingoldmells together.
Along the 100 mile route they also regroup for water and feed stops. Whilst Gaz is one the road with the other riders, Jade helps provides the road and food support for the ride along with both of their fathers. A support van carries spares as well as water and food like pasta and flapjack made by Jade and her mother and sister.
The riders get a royal welcome by the Moody Cow pub in Ingoldmells every year. The Fire Brigade send an engine to the pub to entertain those not riding and once the riders are in the pubs holds a big raffle before a buffet and disco which goes on into the early hours.
To donate money to the Fund please go to the Princess Alexia Fund Just Giving page here.

Hannibal Season 2 – More Horror and Beauty
Descend further into madness with Hannibal Season 2. Bryan Fuller's incredible, terrifying and haunting world returns with a sense of visual intelligence while carrying the dark moral message from the first season: When you face a monster, is it a sin to go on once you start becoming a monster too?
The first season was an appetizer for the macabre world of Hannibal. In a murder mystery plot format not far-removed from CSI or NCIS, FBI Special Agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) finds himself investigating a roster of serial killers each with their own obsessions and modus operandi. Assisting him is closeted cannibal and serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a forensic scientist destined to become Graham's most dangerous arch-nemesis. Graham is also guided by FBI Special Agent in Charge Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) who whisked Graham from his job as an instructor to investigate only the most gruesome of murders.
The mortifying but beautiful shots of mutilated cadavers guide us into the demonic world inhabited by Lecter and Graham. These experiences take a collective toll on the already anti-social Graham who shares the unenviable gift of empathising with and thinking like a serial killer. Meanwhile Lecter spends the first season toying with Graham's already feeble mental frame while indulging in his polite savagery of killing and preparing victims into culinary delights. Lecter finally manages to frame the unstable Graham for a string of murders, which lands Graham in an institute for the criminally insane.
After ending the first season with a grim cliffhanger, the second season starts off with unrestrained action. A frenzied pace is set as we land smack dab into a brutal brawl between Dr. Lecter and Will's ally Jack Crawford. The brawl is masterfully shot with well-choreographed action and jarring scenes of flesh wounds and concussion inducing violence. Crawford manages to hold his own against the knife-wielding Dr. Lecter while the bewildered viewer is left to wonder what madness happened between the two seasons for this fight to culminate. Suddenly the scene cuts to black, and the words "twelve weeks earlier" appear on-screen. The flash-forward fight scene sets the tone for the rest of the season and the viewers are left with a taste of the violence and unnerving tension to come.
In a drastic change of circumstances, the cut to black is followed up with Hannibal preparing dinner for none other than Special Agent Crawford showing how things will drastically take a turn for the worse as the season progresses. The calm dinner scene also sets up an important question that will be answered throughout the season: "What will happen to Will Graham?" The imprisoned special agent isn't one to give up easily and is not afraid to point the finger at Dr. Lecter as the mastermind behind his imprisonment. He refuses to speak to doctors at the mental institution and instead strives to meet Dr. Lecter who he believes he can extract the truth from Dr. Lecter that will clear his name.
Stylish, beautiful and creepy, Season 2 of Hannibal returns with a great cast and dives deeper into a world where spilling blood and arranging limbs is an art form as much as an unspeakable horror. Stream the critically acclaimed second season on STARZplay.com and dig deeper into a world of horror and beauty.

cooperation food crisis grain railway shipment Ukraine war
New Rail Terminal in Hungary Aims to Help Alleviate Global Food Crisis
The new railway terminal in Fényeslitke, in eastern Hungary, will play a significant role in ensuring the continuity of Ukrainian grain exports that have been interrupted due to the war, assisting in alleviating the global food crisis, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the inauguration of the East-West Intermodal Logistics Ltd.'s rail gauge switching center, the politician undescored that the investment was launched at a time when cooperation between East and West still had serious prospects, when it seemed that trade between China and Europe could expand unhindered in the coming period.
He said that the project had taken on a new meaning with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and that its purpose had changed from the original one, since one of the most important tasks for global security was to guarantee the continuity of grain exports from Ukraine, which required fast and efficient transport routes.
The route from Fényeslitke to the ports of North Adria is the fastest and most efficient route to ensure the security of food supplies in the far corners of the world,"
the minister said.
Speaking at the inauguration, Péter Szijjártó said that once again Hungarians can show the world something new and unique.
Szijjártó stressed that it is a huge step that the new center will have the capacity to transship around 800 tons of grain per hour, and the extensive storage capacities will also ensure that goods from neighboring countries can reach their destinations.
We are interested in peace in the neighborhood and we hope that one day this terminal will be able to fulfill its peaceful purpose,"
he added.
According to Szijjártó, the center, which is a 30 billion forint (EUR 73 million) investment, will employ 500 people and have a capacity of one million containers a year, double the capacity of the facility on the border of Belarus and Poland.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow, which is where the body manufactures the cells that make up the blood. ALL is the most common cancer in children; about 1 in 5 childhood cancer cases are diagnosed as having ALL.
In order to confirm the diagnosis, the health care provider must examine the bone marrow by performing a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. In a bone marrow aspiration, a small amount of bone marrow is removed through a needle that goes into the bone. In a biopsy, a small part of bone is removed with the bone marrow inside to be looked at under a microscope.
A lumbar puncture (also called a spinal tap) is also required to detect whether cancer cells exist in the fluid in the spine (cerebrospinal fluid or CSF). In this procedure, a needle is carefully inserted into part of the spine in the lower back to collect fluid to be examined.
Both of these procedures are performed with light anesthesia to help make sure the patient more comfortable.
The treatment approach for each patient is determined based on the risk that ALL poses to the patient. In making treatment decisions, the health care provider will consider factors including the patient's age, their white blood cell count, the type of cancer cells they have and whether they are present in the CSF, the genetic background of the patient, and how well the patient has done on any previous treatments.
The typical treatment for ALL is chemotherapy, in which anti-cancer drugs are used to attack the cancer cells. Medication for ALL is usually intrathecal, meaning the medication is delivered directly into the CSF using a needle or a tube under light anesthesia. In some cases, the health care provider might also recommend radiation treatment to the head, although this is used much less often than in the past.
Treatment usually lasts between 2-3 years. The cure rates in ALL are excellent and are between 80-90% of all cases.

The Biggest Similarity Between Criminal Minds And Numb3rs
By Deepayan Sengupta/Aug. 20, 2021 12:29 pm EST
While brothers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott are mostly known for their films, the duo was also involved in television production, with one of their most notable TV collaborations being the CBS procedural "Numb3rs." Making its debut in 2005, the show focused on an FBI agent who teamed up with his mathematician brother to catch criminals and ran for a total of six seasons. The main cast of "Numb3rs" included David Krumholtz, Rob Morrow, and Judd Hirsch.
Another notable CBS procedural that made its debut in 2005 was "Criminal Minds." With a cast that included Mandy Patinkin, Shemar Moore, A.J. Cook, and Matthew Gray Gubler, the show followed a unit of criminal profilers as they went around the country solving urgent crimes. Though they both made their debut at the same time, "Criminal Minds" managed to outlast "Numb3rs," running for a total of 15 seasons.
Both shows focused on units in the FBI but diverged from there. However, the two shows had more than a few common points — here's the biggest similarity between "Criminal Minds" and "Numb3rs."
Chess was integral to both shows
One of the most important characters in the early seasons of "Criminal Minds" was Jason Gideon, played by Mandy Patinkin. Gideon was the unit chief of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, or BAU, and often made the most important decisions. One of his particular non-work skills was that he was excellent at chess, as he almost always beat Dr. Reid — himself a prodigy with multiple Ph.D. certifications — at the game. The only time Reid won a game against Gideon was on Reid's birthday.
On "Numb3rs," Charlie Eppes, played by David Krumholtz, was a consultant with the FBI and the younger brother of FBI agent Don Eppes. A brilliant mathematician who wrote his first paper on the subject while he was still a teenager, Charlie used his considerable talent to help his brother Don and the FBI solve crimes. Charlie was also excellent at chess, holding his own even when both Don and their father Alan team up against him.
Both Gideon and Charlie were important members of their respective teams, whose expertise in their line of work was unmatched by the rest of the team members. The fact that both characters were also near-unbeatable at chess indicates how important the game was to both of them, and to the shows at large as a result.
"Numb3rs" is currently streaming on Hulu, while "Criminal Minds" is available on Paramount+.
