Wyndham Lathem and Andrew Warren, accused of killing Chicago hairdresser Trenton Cornell-Duranleau.
Pair are suspected of stabbing Cornell-Duranleau multiple times in the back in a high-rise in Chicago's North River section on July 27.
The suspects Wyndam Lathem and Brit Andrew Warren [right], remain on the run, but likely haven't left the U.S.
The two men suspected of fatally stabbing a man in Chicago made a donation to a Wisconsin library in his name hours after they're believed to have killed him, according to a new report.
Acting on an anonymous call, police found Cornell-Duranleau stabbed to death in an apartment belonging to Lathem, who apparently disappeared with Warren. Both Lathem and Warren were caught on surveillance video at the building, police said.
The gruesome attack has set off an intense nationwide search for the fugitives and drawn international interest.
Wyndham Lathem, 42, and Andrew Warren, 56, remain at large for the July 27 killing of 26-year-old Trenton Cornell-Duranleau.
The U.S. Marshals Service has joined the hunt for the men, who are considered armed and dangerous.
Late Thursday, chief Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said police have an idea where the two may have fled and don't believe they have left the country. The U.S. State Department has flagged their passports and travel documents, and the U.S. Marshals Service has joined the manhunt.
Lathem and Warren made a $1,000 donation to a library in Lake Geneva, Wis., just hours after they're suspected of stabbing Cornell-Duranleau multiple times in the back.
Police told local media they aren't sure why Lathem and Warren would've made the donation in the name of Cornell-Duranleau, who came from eastern Michigan.
Lake Geneva's library referred all questions to the police in the southern Wisconsin town, who didn't immediately return a call for comment.
Cornell-Duranleau was found in an apartment of a high-rise in Chicago's North River section with multiple stab wounds on July 27.
His murder was so gruesome that blade was broken on the knife police believe killed him.
Police believe the suspects made a $1,000 donation in Cornell-Duranleau's [photo] name hours after they had viciously murdered him.
Police are still trying to piece together what motivated Lathem and Warren, who came to the U.S. in late July from England, would have killed the victim.
Wyndham Lathem, 42, is known as a well-published researcher of infectious diseases at Northwestern University. An extremely private man, he nevertheless had a busy public life as an esteemed academic, invited to speak at conferences across the country. He was allegedly, in some type of relationship with Cornell-Duranleau, a hairdresser, Guglielmi told the Tribune.
They had "some type of falling out," but declined to specify what the extent of their relation or how either might've known Warren.
Before he came to Chicago for a visit last week, Warren worked in the pensions and payroll department at University of Oxford's Somerville College in England.
He lived with his sister and his boyfriend, and was struggling with the death of his father several months ago, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Lathem has been with Northwestern since 2007, and is revered by his colleagues as an exceptional microbiology researcher.
It's unclear where Cornell-Duranleau was working at the time of his death.
He'd moved to the Windy City from Grand Rapids, Mich., some time after receiving his cosmetology license.

Reality Check: Keith Richards At 70
James Campion
"Although it was a shock when it actually happened, nobody was really that surprised. Everybody knows people that you just have a feeling about them that they're not going to be 70 years old…ever. Not everybody makes it."
—Keith Richards on Brian Jones' death in 1969
I recently saw that news clip again of an emaciated, mumbling Keith Richards—dark, dilated eyes sunken deeper by ebony makeup below a wild mane of black, tussled hair, a dangling dagger earring and that signature rotted black hole in his teeth from thousands of cigarettes—waxing poetic about his recently deceased former band member, Brian Jones, who, at 27, had drowned "by misadventure" in his pool in Sussex, England, a few weeks prior. Jones, whom Richards had introduced to LSD two years before his rapid downward spiral of Dionysian drug abuse, was the first victim of trying to keep up with Keith, which this week reaches an inconceivable 70 years.
That's right, kids; by the time this hits the streets, December 18, 2013, Keith Richards will turn 70.
Keith Richards.
70 years old.
If there was ever a time to slide the minted acronym WTF into this space, this would be it.
Hell…for Keith's 70th, I'll just write it out: WHAT THE FUCK?
I rewound the clip; watched Keith say it again; "Not everybody makes it." And, of course, they don't. But for him, the man that has turned "not make it" into an art form for half a century, it is the bedrock of irony that he has indeed "made it."
This shudder of irony struck me when Michael Jackson died. And I thought, while the prepubescent Jackson was twirling around in front of his teenage brothers on the Flip Wilson Show, Keith was comatose on smack and whiskey in a villa on the French Riviera causally firing pistols at local drug merchants and ramming a rented skiff into a gangster's yacht and spitting at him.
I had a similar experience when vacationing in the Mohave Desert at Joshua Tree State Park in 1999. I ran into a local who told me a story about the young, frail singer-songwriter, Gram Parsons, whose 26-year-old remains were doused with five gallons of gasoline and burned there by "friends" after overdosing on morphine a few feet away in a rented cabin. Parsons hung around with Keith for little more than three years in the early '70s and introduced him to country music. Richards reciprocated by turning him onto heroin. Staring out into the long stretch of rock and sand, I could hear the echoes of Richards, who sang a beautiful duet with Willie Nelson of George Jones' "Say It's Not You" only a week earlier.
It was always the running joke, you know. A long running joke—over 40 years at least, when people became aware of this death wish river boat gambler with a guitar slung over his shoulder, a weird amalgam of Hank Williams' doom injected with a Jesse James outlaw fury topped off with the insatiable appetite of the Marquis de Sade, if the Marquis de Sade happened to also be a lion tamer that defused bombs on the weekends. "What is keeping Keith Richards upright?"
It is hard to explain to those who are unfamiliar with the life and exploits of Keith Richards to marvel as I do this week that the man is still breathing. It is an inspiration for those of us who work diligently on challenging our constitution. He is our god. He is our champion.
32 years ago, when in college, there was a horrific snowstorm in New Jersey. I was to unfurl a detailed tribute to Richards' birthday on my humble radio show at Mercer County Community College. But in the spirit of Richards, I ignored the elements and literally plowed ahead with my shit brown '77 Plymouth Volare, sans snow tires or front wheel drive, but well-equipped with a badly wired cassette player blasting Exile On Main St. I cruised the uneventful 40 or so miles to the campus before an obviously catatonic woman decided to make a desperate left turn into my lane against a red light and I careened into her. I recall the impact, her alarmed face and soon her bleeding temple, as I crawled from the mangled driver's side door to scream obscenities at her.
Instead of the aborted musical tribute that day, I settled for a metaphoric one; contemplating the strange karma of it all, as I embarrassingly waited in a garage called the Dragon's Den for my mother to rescue me—just another victim of trying to keep up with Keith.
Forget the brilliance of the art; forget the Stones and all those ass-kicking riffs, forget "Satisfaction," "Paint It Black," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Gimme Shelter," "Monkey Man," "Brown Sugar," "Bitch," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Rocks Off," "Happy," "Start Me Up" and the countless, and I do mean nearly countless, rock and roll defining sonic muggings. What I am talking about here is the sheer brilliance of surviving for decades, almost by the minute teetering on the precipice of total annihilation.
Also, forget the stupefying fact that maybe, all told, Keith Richards has spent a few days in jail, and not consecutively, just a scattered few hours here and there, whether being set-up by authorities or just busted flat out with tons of hard drugs and weapons all over the globe, and in places where either people didn't give a shit that he was a Rolling Stone or because he was a Rolling Stone.
"I've never had a problem with drugs," Keith has famously said. "I have a problem with cops."
But that apparently isn't even true.
And while Keith has left a long line of victims to his "keep up with Keith" axiom, some famous, some not-so, he has managed to do something even more enviable; despite whatever your selective morals might allow, and that is he has apologized for none of it. There were blood transfusions and drying out clinics to get him back on stage, but never any rehab or finding Jesus or sanctimonious after-the-fact anti-mayhem lectures from Keith. Shit, he only jettisoned the toxins he deemed "over," as in he had bested them and could no longer see the need to belabor the point. This he astutely cites in his 2010 biography, Life, in which he tutors us all in the laughable art of moderation—for normal humans that means whatever it is most of us are doing, not that crazy, crazy shit he's perpetuated since 1962.
Hell, Mick Jagger turned 70 in August, and except for a private toast around here, this was no surprise. There is a good chance with all the personal trainers and hyper vitamins and continued screwing of 20-somethings, Mick will live to 100. But Keith fucking Richards?
And so I shall leave you with the wisdom of the man that I have told people for years and years that they absolutely must televise his autopsy and then find a way to regenerate his DNA into some super-human machine, if it is possible to dissect the part of the brain that worked so diligently to destroy it. When asked by a French journalist in 1977 what he thought about leading the international underground Death Pool, Keith dragged on a cigarette, guzzled a nip of Jack Daniels from the bottle and then let the smoke waft from his crooked smile. "Oh, yeah?" he croaked. "I'll let you know."
Keith Richards at 70.
That is a Christmas miracle.

Concentration of media ownership (also known as media consolidation or media convergence) is a process whereby progressively fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media. Contemporary research demonstrates increasing levels of consolidation, with many media industries already highly concentrated and dominated by a very small number of firms.

Parenti says, When omission proves to be an insufficient mode of censorship and a story somehow begins to reach larger publics, the press moves from artful avoidance to frontal assault in order to discredit the story.

The Cove Island Light, at Gig Point on the island, is located in Fathom Five National Marine Park, but is not part of the Park. It is situated on the Bruce Peninsula, Ontario Canada. It has been a navigational aid in the narrow channel between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay since 30 October 1858. It was the first of six stone Imperial Towers to be completed; all were illuminated by 1859. Most other lighthouses of the era were built of brick, wood, iron or concrete.

The six were built at a time when commercial shipping traffic was increasing on the Great Lakes between Canada and the U.S. because of new trade agreements and the opening of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal locks in 1855. The settlement of the Bruce Peninsula was also well underway by then, making the lighthouses even more useful. They acted as navigational aids for the boats and ships on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. All are currently operating as automated lights.

The Tower, Cove Island, Ontario, was formally registered on the Canadian Register of Historic Places on 14 November 2014. The federal government restored the site in 2015–2016.

History
The origin of the Imperial designation is not certain, but some historians speculate that because the towers were public construction built under the colonial administration while Canada was a self-governing colony of Britain, the name would assure at least some funding from the British Empire's Board of Trade. All six Imperial towers, along with a limestone lightkeeper's dwelling, were constructed by John Brown (builder) from Thorold, Ontario, a contractor and stonemason.

The design aspects of the tower are virtually identical to those of the Point Clark Lighthouse, well described in a Government of Canada document.

The lamp itself underwent several transformations starting with an Argand lamp fueled with sperm whale oil, then a flat wick coal oil lamp, replaced with an oil vapour light about 1900. Vapourized kerosene was burned to keep the beacon aglow. An on-site generator provided electricity during the 1950s and in 1971, an underwater power cable was laid from Tobermory to the island.

The powerful "second order" Fresnel lens was manufactured by the Louis Saulter Company in Paris and installed by workmen from France inside the polygonal lantern with its three rows of rectangular glass panes.

Similar in style to the other Imperial Towers lighthouses on Chantry Island, at Point Clark and on Griffith Island, Georgian Bay, the Cove Island lighthouse has five sets of stairs with 15 steps each, one set with 11 steps and the final curved iron stairway to the lamp room has nine steps (total: 95 steps). An iron door leads into the lamp room. The stone lightkeeper's cottage adjacent to the tower was built at the same time. The "new" lightkeepers house was built in 1970 a short distance from the tower.

This lightstation was continuously manned from 1858 to 1991, making it the longest keeper-occupied light in Ontario.

The lighthouse tower, the original house and fog plant, a workshop, the assistant keeper's house and the modern lightkeeper's house make up the lightstation today. The light is currently a valuable aid to navigation operated by the Canadian Coast Guard; it is the only Imperial Tower that is still using the original Fresnel lens. Although the facility has been renovated, access to the island is restricted so tours are not available. Views from the ferry or a private boat are excellent.

Lightkeepers
George F. Collins (1858–1860) was the first person to serve as light keeper at the Isle of Coves. Born in England, in 1817, George Collins went to sea at the young age of 12 where he traveled the world becoming a captain by his early 20s. In 1851, Collins immigrated to Canada to live in Kingston before moving to Collingwood in 1855.

When the Imperial Towers were being built, applications for positions as light keepers came in from all over the country. With his maritime experience, George Collins applied for the Nottawasaga Island light near his home at Collingwood.  Surprisingly, he was instead appointed keeper at the Isle of Coves.  Collins' salary was $435 per year.

Like the keeper at Point Clark, Collins was required to clean and whitewash the tower as required, to fuel the light and, twice a day, to wind up the clockwork-like mechanism—with weights and pulleys—that enabled the weights to rotate the lens.

David McBeath, on the other hand, applied for the light keeper's position at Isle of Coves, and was initially given the job at Nottawasaga instead. Eventually, in 1860, the two were able to switch jobs.

David McBeath (1860 - 1872) of all the fascinating stories the Isle of Coves Light station has to tell, nothing compares with the drama of David McBeath and his family running out of food with the lake already freezing. Provisions finally arrived on a steamship before they starved.

William McBeath (1872 - 1876)

Bryce Millar, (1876 – 1878)

George Currie (1878–1902) is remembered for his part in the aftermath of the sinking of the schooner 'Regina' off Gat Point, Cove Island, on 10 September 1866. The ship sank and the captain, Amos Tripp, a "mysterious character" according to some reports drowned during the storm. His body was found on Cove Island by George Currie. The body was returned to the family two weeks later.

William Collier (1902 - 1903)

Kenneth McLeod (1903 - 1912)

William Simpson (1912 - 1915)

Jack Leslie (1915 - 1945)

Harold ("Hal") Banas (1945-1946) lived on the island with his wife Iris and his brother, assistant keeper Earl Banas. Hal and Iris had married in a ceremony on the island.

Russell Botham, (1947–1948)

William (Bill) Spears (1949–1976) knew that his work must continue, transmitting information to Wiarton in addition to operating the light. Even when he was seriously ill with mumps in 1954, he had to continue radio reports while spending long days between the generator engines.

Robert (Bob) Nelder (1977 – 1981)

Jack Vaughn was the last light keeper at Cove Island (1982-1991). Because of automation, his role was virtually one of caretaker, particularly in the last few years.

Q: Rotate MPMoviePlayerController to Landscape - iPhone SDK I am trying to rotate my MPMoviePlayerController to landscape view, but it always stays in portrait mode. I am doing this in a UIViewController and I still can't rotate my MPMoviePlayerController when I am in full screen mode. Do I have to do something to the shouldAutorotatetoOrientation method? If anyone knows how to do this please leave a reply back!!
Thanks,
Kevin

A: From the UIViewController class reference:

By default, the UIViewController class displays views in portrait mode only. To support additional orientations, you must override the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method and return YES for any orientations your subclass supports. If the autoresizing properties of your views are configured correctly, that may be all you have to do. However, the UIViewController class provides additional hooks for you to implement additional behaviors as needed.

For example, if your autoresizingMask is set to UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight, and the parent view of your movie player view has autoresizesSubviews = YES, then returning YES from the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation may be all you need to do.

A: i found this way only useful but it is timetaking to set the desired frame-
theMovie=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:theURL];
// Rotate the view for landscape playback
[[theMovie view] setBounds:CGRectMake(-230, 155, 480, 350)];
[[theMovie view] setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2)];

Juno programme officials hold a news conference at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory following the successful orbital insertion of the space probe around the gas giant Jupiter.
Unbeknown to two European amateur astronomers 1000 miles apart capturing video of Jupiter through their telescopes in the early hours of Thursday, 17 March, their digital footage would subsequently show confirmation of a totally unexpected phenomenon — the likely impact of a small comet or asteroid on the edge of the solar system's largest planet.
The existence of a fifth giant gas planet at the time of the solar system's formation — in addition to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune that we know of today — was first proposed in 2011. Now astrophysicists at the University of Toronto have found that a close encounter with Jupiter about four billion years ago may have resulted in the fifth giant planet's ejection from the solar system altogether.
Nearly two months after NASA's Juno spacecraft slipped into orbit around Jupiter, the solar-powered probe made a passage 4,200 kilometres over the giant planet's colourful banded clouds Saturday, the closest planned encounter during its 20-month exploration of the solar system's largest world.


The details for setting up an email program to access your SDC email account varies from one email program to the next, but most email pgrograms will ask for the same information.
This is the default for many desktop email programs. Your email program will download mail from our server to your computer, then it will delete the copies on our server. Your mail will be saved on your PC, where you can read and organize it at your leisure. This is a good choice if you will only ever use one PC for your email. However, this is not a good choice if you want to access your email from more than one PC or from Webmail while traveling.
This is the default for many mobile email programs. Your email will reside on our mail server, where you can access, manage, and organize it using more than one PC, tablet, or phone, or our Webmail application. This is a good choice if you travel frequently or want to use more than one device (a PC and a phone, for example) for email.
The other things your email program may ask you for are fairly consistent. If you have any doubts about settings, your email program's default choices are usually the best.
Username for incoming server: The part of your email address before the "@" sign. For example, if your email address is "janedoe@sdc.org" then the username is "janedoe".
Password for incoming server: The password that we assigned for your email account. If you need to change your password, then please allow up to 20 minutes for the new password to go into effect. If you lose your password, then please call our office to reset it. We can't retrieve passwords, but we can set a new one.
Your email program may choose the right port automatically, or it may not.
Your email program may call this the SMTP server name.
Outgoing server username and password: Our outgoing server requires authentication, and you'll need to tell your email program to let you put in a username and password. The username and password for sending mail is the same as for receiving mail.
You can also use STARTTLS on port 25, but we do not recommend it. We don't block port 25, but many ISPs and virtually all free wi-fi hotspots do. If your email program uses port 25 and you travel, you may run into the situation where you can receive mail but you can't send mail.
Your email program may ask for your name, not just your email address. When you send mail to other people, then whatever you type in for your name is who they will see your mail is from. If you don't type in a name, then your recipients will see only your email address as the sender, not your name.

New petrol and diesel cars to be phased out earlier than planned
Posted by: BEIS Media Team, Posted on: 4 February 2020 - Categories: BEIS in the media, Ministerial comment
There is widespread coverage this morning of the government announcing that an end to the sales of new petrol and diesel cars is set to be brought forward by 5 years to 2035.
The plans, which aim to cut emissions, have been announced by the Prime Minister today in line with the government target of reaching net zero by 2050.
The government will consult on bringing forward a planned end to the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles from 2040 to 2035 – and earlier if feasible. It will also include hybrid vehicles for the first time.
The Times reports that some 37,850 battery electric cars were sold in the UK last year, well over double the number a year earlier. The Daily Telegraph and the i cover the news, noting that battery electric cars still make up only 1.6% of new cars sold last year and 0.2% of total vehicles on British roads. The AA said drivers supported plans to cut emissions but added that the 2035 target was "incredibly challenging". The Daily Mail reports that while axing fossil fuel car sales would be controversial - not least for the motor industry - it would bring Britain closer in-line with other European nations such as Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden, which have bans in place from 2030.
The coverage comes as Boris Johnson launched the COP26 talks, to take place later this year in Glasgow, with a speech setting out Britain's stall as a leader on tackling climate change.
Secretary of State for Business and Energy Andrea Leadsom:
The UK has a proud record in tackling climate change and making the most of the enormous economic potential of clean technologies. This is my number one priority, and we will raise our ambition in this year of climate action, including with new plans to decarbonise every sector, enabling a greener future for all our children.

Need a great place to cowork while you're in Irvine or Newport Beach? Here is my inside guide to the best coworking spaces for Remote Work in Newport Beach, CA.
If you've ever worked remotely or from a coffee shop you know it takes some time to find the best coworking spots in a city. Some coffee shops have amazing coffee, but their wifi is sooo slow. Other spots have great internet but are always packed and you have to fight for a table or an electrical outlet.
So I decided to write a blog post about the best coworking locations in my city, Newport Beach / Irvine.
The best place in town to work from is The Vine. Which is right by the UCI Campus and starts at $125/month. It's The Best Priced coworking spot in Orange County. They have blazing fast Internet, tons of desks, a great parking lot (so you won't have to pay to park), a quick 2-minute walk from a Starbucks, and a beautiful outdoor space. Oh, did i mention they're dog-friendly?
Bonus: they have several locations in Orange County (and San Diego), if you're a member you can hop between any of the locations.
The only downside is that some of the members like to take really loud phone calls in the common area instead of moving outside or to the phone booth, but it's not much of a problem if you move to another area.
If you want to try it out for a day, day passes are only $35 and if you check in on Yelp, I believe they have a free day pass there.
WeWork Spectrum in Irvine is the one of the better coworking spots in the Orange County area.
With fast internet and a perfect location right across the street from Spectrum. Which is this outdoor mall that has all of the best places to eat from. If you plan on having a Business meeting, they have tons of conference rooms! If you have a call, they have "phone booths". I'm not even going to factor in the beer on tap and snacks on hand.
The main downside is the pricing and parking. They start at $350/month for a Hot Desk membership and then $100/month for parking. If you have guests, they have a parking structure, where you can pay hourly, but it's not cheap. BUT! If you were to park across the street in the Spectrum center, maybe grab a Starbucks and then walk across the street to the Wework building, Spectrum parking would be free.
If you plan on coworking in the Southern California area and moving around a bit, I'd say a membership is totally worth it. They have a ton of locations! While Wework Spectrum is currently their only coworking location in Orange County, they have a ton of great locations in Los Angeles. I've worked from Wework Gas tower, which is right in downtown LA although parking is a pain, the location is top notch! Wework Hollywood is literally right on the Walk of Fame! Finally, Wework Santa Monica is on my bucket list since it's close enough to walk to the famous Santa Monica pier.
I've worked from Crashlabs in Costa Mesa, which isn't too far away. There wasn't a ton of parking, but you could find some parking in the residential neighborhood not too far away. Wifi was strong, but I found the seats to be pretty uncomfortable and it just really hard for me to focus here. Pricing was $375 /month. And for that price-range, I preferred Wework.
Wayfare in Costa Mesa, is a really gorgeous space. But for me, the wifi was lacking. It was just crawling. I ended up leaving early and never came back, since I wasn't getting the bandwidth I needed. I will say that out of all of the coworking spots in the area- Wayfare has the most flexible plans for any price point.
There are tons of Starbucks and Coffee Beans in the area and they seem to have the best wifi, but are usually pretty crowded.
The Starbucks in Newport Coast is my favorite, it's rarely crowded. Has a great outdoor seating area and is right across the street from the beach!
The Pelican Hill Resort is this gorgeous resort hotel on the coast of Newport Beach. In the lobby, there is a little café, which also has gelato. It overlooks the ocean. By far the fastest wifi around, I was getting speeds of 200mbps. Although, I wouldn't spend all day working here. It's great for a quick meeting and coworking for a few hours while enjoying the gelato and gorgeous views.
What to expect transportation-wise from the area. While there is public transportation, it's not great. Takes quite awhile and isn't the best connected. Having a car is pretty much the way everyone gets around here.
Do you work remotely or know of the best coworking spots from your city?

Females can deposit one to five eggs a day, and may lay 200 to 500 eggs in a lifetime. Under normal room temperatures and with an adequate food supply, they can live up to a year.
Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs are not a sanitation issue. They don't discriminate and can be found in any hotel and any home, regardless of size, hygiene, or cleanliness, as well as dormitories and cruise ships.
Once a bed bug finds its way indoors, it can move from room to room by traveling on clothing and luggage or through pipes and vacuum cleaners . This tendency to hitch-hike — as well as a bed bug's ability to survive for long periods of time without a blood meal — makes proper prevention and control steps even more important.
Experts believe bed bugs' recent increase in prevalence in the U.S. is due to an increase in international travel. That, combined with increased media coverage on bed bugs, has also heightened awareness of these blood-sucking pests among the general public.
While bed bugs are not known to carry disease, they can leave behind itchy, bloody welts and can cause allergic reactions. Bedbug bites can be distinguished from other insects by their orderly rows, likely caused by a single bug.
Bites tend to disappear within a few days, some individuals may experience extreme irritation and rashes. If you develop a rash after being bitten by a bedbug, avoid scratching the affected area. Antibiotic creams may help to alleviate itching and decrease the odds of infection. If the rash persists or becomes infected, contact a medical professional immediately.

Brock Lesnar, The Sweetheart
jliep22 | 17:56 12/05/20
Brock Lesnar is one of the greatest combat athletes in the history of sports. He's also one of the most feared men to ever step foot in a WWE ring.
Lesnar enjoys his private life. The eight-time champion does not play well with others. In an interview with WWE Hall of Famer, Stone Cold Steve Austin, the Beast talked about how he "doesn't really like people." That's why he has a huge fence around his home in the middle of nowhere in Canada.
Fans always thought Lesnar would just do his segment, collect his money and leave, but there is another side of the Beast Incarnate. Lesnar is viewed by some as a "sweetheart".
Former WWE superstar, Paige conducted an interview with Inside the Ropes. Paige said, "If I want advice from him, he'll be like, 'Yeah, sure, I'll give it to you'. He's really wonderful."
Another instance came five years ago when WWE had to cancel a RAW show due to a massive blizzard.
They re-aired the Royal Rumble Match from the night before and showed some interviews including one with Lesnar, who was WWE champion at the time.
On his podcast, After the Bell, Corey Graves reminisced about this moment. He claimed Lesnar "paid a significant amount of money to keep the bar wide open for everybody to make sure that they made the best of a crappy situation."
Lastly, Lesnar has put over two superstars in less than a year. At WrestleMania 35, Lesnar "re-scheduled" his Universal Championship match against Seth Rollins to kick-off the Show of Shows.
After dominating the beginning of the match, Lesnar fell victim to three stomps and lost.
Lesnar would then win the Money in the Bank Contract and would cash-in on Rollins at Extreme Rules.
The next month at Summerslam, Rollins would again challenge Lesnar for the championship. Rollins showcased his offense in a classic that would go down as one of the best Summerslam matches. Rollins beat Lesnar for the second time, something that is very rare in WWE.

Then, this year's Royal Rumble Match. Lesnar entered at number one and steamrolled through the competition until Drew McIntyre came in at 16. McIntyre would deliver a Claymore Kick, eliminating Lesnar from the match.
McIntyre would then challenge Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE championship. Three weeks before, McIntyre would Claymore the Beast three times. After the second Claymore, you could see Lesnar tell McIntyre to "grab the belt". McIntyre would raise the title and the crowd went nuts.
Image via newsweek.com
The crowd in Brooklyn would then chant, "One more time!" Lesnar would get back to his feet and get hit with the third Claymore. McIntyre would dethrone the Beast at WrestleMania 36.
Lesnar did everything to put over Rollins and McIntyre, he's there to give advice, and could even be seen as a locker room leader. Brock Lesnar is not the man everyone thinks he is.

We hypothesize that aggregation of thermoalkalophilic lipases could be a thermostability mechanism. The conserved tryptophans (W211, W234) in the lid are of particular interest owing to their previous involvements in aggregation and thermostability mechanisms in many other proteins. The thermoalkalophilic lipase from Bacillus thermocatenulatus (BTL2) and its mutants (W211A, W234A) were expressed and purified to homogeneity. We found that, when aggregated, BTL2 is more thermostable than its non-aggregating form, showing that aggregation potentiates thermostability in the thermoalkalophilic lipase. Among the two lid mutants, the W211A lowered aggregation tendency drastically and resulted in a much less thermostable variant of BTL2, which indicated that W211 stabilizes the intermolecular interactions in BTL2 aggregates. Further thermoactivity and CD spectroscopy analyses showed that W211A also led to a strong decrease in the optimal and the melting temperature of BTL2, implying stabilization by W211 also to the intramolecular interactions. The other lid mutant W234A had no effects on these properties. Finally, we analyzed the molecular basis of these experimental findings in-silico using the dimer (PDB ID: 1KU0) and the monomer (PDB ID: 2W22) lipase structures. The computational analyses confirmed that W211 stabilized the intermolecular interactions in the dimer lipase and it is critical to the stability of the monomer lipase. Explicitly W211 confers stability to the dimer and the monomer lipase through distinct aromatic interactions with Y273-Y282 and H87-P232 respectively. The insights revealed by this work shed light not only on the mechanism of thermostability and its relation to aggregation but also on the particular role of the conserved lid tryptophan in the thermoalkalophilic lipases.

Credit Suisse's DLJ Mortgage Capital Inc. unit is being sued by Assured Guaranty Ltd. for the alleged misrepresentation of loan quality in mortgage-backed securities.
According to a Bloomberg report, Assured claims that DLJ 'repeatedly and pervasively' provided incorrect representations about the loans, which resulted in 7,338 defective loans packaged into securities that Assured guaranteed to investors. Assured adds that DLJ's actions exposed it to 'hundreds of millions of dollars' in current and future claim payments. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which was filed in New York State Supreme Court.
A Credit Suisse spokesperson, in an e-mail statement to Bloomberg, said that the lawsuit was without merit.

Wayfaring Stranger by James Lee Burke
From "America's best novelist" (The Denver Post): a sprawling thriller drenched with atmosphere and intrigue that takes a young boy from a chance encounter with Bonnie and Clyde to the trenches of World War II and the oil fields along the Texas-Louisiana coast.
It is 1934 and the Depression is bearing down when 16-year-old Weldon Avery Holland happens upon infamous criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow after one of their notorious armed robberies. A confrontation with the outlaws ends as Weldon puts a bullet through the rear window of Clyde's stolen automobile. Ten years later, Second Lieutenant Weldon Holland and his sergeant, Hershel Pine, escape certain death in the Battle of the Bulge and encounter a beautiful young woman named Rosita Lowenstein hiding in a deserted extermination camp. Eventually, Weldon and Rosita fall in love and marry and, with Hershel, return to Texas to seek their fortunes. There, they enter the domain of jackals known as the oil business. They meet Roy Wiseheart – a former Marine aviator haunted with guilt for deserting his squadron leader over the South Pacific and Roy's wife, Clara, a vicious anti-Semite who is determined to make Weldon and Rosita's life a nightmare. It will be the frontier justice upheld by Weldon's grandfather, Texas lawman Hackberry Holland, and the legendary antics of Bonnie and Clyde that shape Weldon's plans for saving his family from the evil forces that lurk in peacetime America and threaten to destroy them all.

Heortland landscape

FWIW while you clearly need to map the deities etc from Sanctuary to Gloranthan equivalents, I don't think there is a strong reason not to otherwise use Sanctuary as a basis for Refuge. Lunar Empire for Rankan Empire (noting that Lunar Empire often really means the Lunar provinces, not the heartland), and Ilsig as the Heortlings, etc.
I like the Order of the Blue Star as a small group of Blue Moon associated sorcerers - mostly because the we could do with a bit of interesting background for God Forgot generally, a very underdeveloped area compared to most of its numbers, and a Blue Moon connection makes sense.

Sanctuary is not going to be treated as the source material for Refuge in any Chaosium publication. Nor should it be. You can try to shoe-horn a 30+ year old out of print product which Chaosium long ago lost the license to, or you can come up with material that actually really fits the setting. And can actually be published.
Just now, Jeff said:
Same thing with Midkemia's Carse. That is Raymond Feist's IP. We respect it as his, and don't try to shoe-horn it into Glorantha. You can do what you want in your games, but aren't going to publish material on Karse based on Carse. They are two very different cities with a very similar name. Like Babylon Mesopotamia and Babylon Egypt. Or any number of Alexandrias.

OR I could pick any of the many hundreds of locations which has only a paragraph in the guide. and choose to focus work on them, and leave areas with a fairly interesting and inspiring back story as a source of inspiration. There are many dozens of areas in the guide that are obvious allusions to literary sources. Why single out Sanctuary {and Karse) as being problematic because they are linked to gaming material in addition to literary?

Great Sage Equal to Heaven
Because Karse and Refuge are places within the core area of Dragon Pass, the Holy Country and the Wastelands. It makes little commercial sense for those places which Chaosium probably intends to focus on to be defined by products that are no longer Chaosium's Intellectual Property.
FWIW I had had smile for a bit at the suggestion of respecting Feist's IP.

For the simple reason that we don't have any right to do that. Any more than we have the right to use a map of King's Landing for Nochet.

Actually, that's Midkemia Press' IP, maintained by Steven Abrams. I contacted him a decade or two ago about use of that IP. While Raymond Feist is the author of City of Carse, there appears to have been a swap of IP allowing Feist to use Midkemia for his novels in exchange for Midkemia Press keeping the revenues on the Carse license (e.g. from the German translation/adaptation by VF&SF, who kept it in print through at least two editions, under the name of Corrinis).
We [...] don't try to shoe-horn it into Glorantha. You can do what you want in your games, but aren't going to publish material on Karse based on Carse.
Are you going to publish any material on Karse on a city-map or even house-to-house level? With Nochet and possibly Seapolis, you have two bigger fish to fry and in the queue.
I am not the only one with some extensive notes on Karse. Martin Hawley used Karse as the anchor point for his (unpublished) naval campaign for HeroQuest 1 (a hint of which is in Men of the Sea).
The basic concept of a citadel with an adjunct walled city is basically a slightly larger version of the new (RQG) Clearwine- (Which is a very different town of the same name compared to that in the HeroQuest material. And the cities of Sartar are likely to undergo a similar upgrade, only Pavis is likely to remain unchanged except by warfare.)
The main difference to Clearwine is that Karse is a seaport on the river estuary, and that it is the second city by that name, after the original citadel city slightly further upriver on the opposite bank had lost access for sea-going ships. (It isn't clear when exactly, and whether the Closing or the redirection of the Creek-Stream-River were instrumental in this relocation.)
There is a difference, though - no King's Landing map has ever played a role as inspiration for the Glorantha campaigns, and I doubt that there is a map even approaching the Nochet map in the level of detail.
On 10/1/2019 at 1:05 PM, Joerg said:
The point is that we are not going to publish anything that bases Karse on Midkemia Press' Carse or Refuge on Thieves World's Sanctuary. Those are other people's IP and we will start fresh.
You are of course welcome to do whatever you want with Karse in *your* games. But if you want any of that material incorporated in any future publication, it can't be derived from "Carse".
Legally that is no difference.

Yes, that is clear, and it is the only sensible course of action as a business. Otherwise you might end up on the other side of the muddle with copyright on Cthulhu mythos lore where quite a bit has originated from Chaosium sources and other companies might just take a licences to avoid problems, and nobody wants such a muddle for Glorantha.
You didn't address my main concern: Will Chaosium produce a detailed description of Karse and/or Refuge in the foreseeable future?
Or is it possible to leave any future product vague enough so that features of the City of Carse supplement don't contradict the new setting?
Sure. I don't expect that a reprint of City of Carse with a Glorantha conversion guide licensed by MoonDesign is feasible, either, even if one had the license from Midkema Press. Those system-agnostic and setting-light products from the eighties were highly acclaimed at the time, and I still rate them very high in my personal list of best rpg supplements ever, and while there has been an OSR hype (that may have influenced maybe 10-15% of the customers in the hobby)
What is the official stance on the description of Karse in Men of the Sea?
On closer scrutiny, there are some references to establishments of City of Carse, mainly NPC names, that need to be done over.
Using the layout of Caernarfon is not protected by any copyright laws - e.g. the Palladium Book of Weapons and Castles has Caernarfon city and castle with a street map almost identical to City of Carse. Because that's the documented extent of the city in the 1500s... (when that copperplate engraving of the city that Feist based his work on was produced).
On a related subject, what's the deal with the Issaries priest Goldgotti from Nochet, scion of one of the Manirian Merchant Princes (as per Sourcebook p.44, and also Sartar Kingdom of Heroes p.159) and Gold Gotti the Wolf Pirate who participated in the Battle of Pennel Ford?


The choice of Modi as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate has reinvigorated the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh.
The one region in Karnataka where the Narendra Modi factor is clearly in play for the Lok Sabha elections is in the coastal districts — encompassing the Dakshina Kannada and Udupi-Chikmagalur constituencies — where Hindutva and nationalistic streaks run strong.
It is the only region in the state where the BJP and Sangh Parivar, in the course of their campaign, frequently refer to the beheading of Indian soldiers by Pakistan, Chinese intrusions into Arunachal and the terrorist activities of Yasin Bhatkal and the Indian Mujahideen.
The choice of Modi as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate has reinvigorated the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh and other Sangh Parivar constituents in the region to such an extent that internal differences, which contributed to the BJP's loss of ground in the region in the 2013 assembly polls, have been set aside.
Top Sangh Parivar leaders, including senior RSS leader Ram Bhat who stayed away from soliciting votes in the assembly polls — the BJP won only one of the eight seats in its Dakshina Kannada stronghold — are actively campaigning for the BJP, in the name of Hindutva and nation building.
At the RSS's recent Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha in Bangalore, Sarsangchalak Mohan Bhagwat may have told the cadres that it was not their job to sing Modi's praises and they should engage in the task of nation building, but in the coastal districts, Sangh workers are singing the nation building song in the NaMo, NaMo tune.
"This is a special situation. This is a time for building the nation and we believe this is the time to hand over the responsibility to a special person — Narendra Modi. We may have stayed away from the MLA elections but this time it is about national security, internal security and all other national causes,'' said a top Sangh Parivar leader in Mangalore.
With as many as 40,000 shakhas in Dakshina Kannada, the Sangh Parivar is known to have a huge network of workers who can reach out to the electorate. It is believed to have harnessed this network to create a Hindutva laboratory in coastal Karnataka to gain political power.
The assembly polls in May 2013 was the first time in nearly 20 years that BJP candidates in the coastal region did not have the numbers and muscle of the Sangh Parivar behind them, leading to a humiliating loss — also partly aided by public sentiment against acts of violence and atrocities on women and youth in the name of Hindutva by Sangh Parivar groups during the BJP rule in 2008-13.
"We need a person who can handle national security and address development issues. We need somebody to build India, and it is Modi. Our effort is to use our network to get all the voters to the polling booths. It is Modi for India and India for Modi,'' said a Sangh Parivar leader, who has been in one of the 36 Sangh organisations for over 30 years, on condition of anonymity.
He was among several top Sangh Parivar workers who stayed away from the BJP's assembly campaign in Karnataka, following disgruntlement over the failure of the first BJP government in south India to pursue the Hindutva agenda and unhappiness with BJP and Sangh leaders for filling their own coffers.
"This time, the presence of Modi and the prospect of addressing national issues is overriding everything else, including differences in the Sangh. We are sure of success in Dakshina Kannada and the Udupi-Chikmagalur seats. Almost everyone is united in their purpose,'' said the Sangh leader.
According to him, the BJP, by including the issues of Ram Temple, Uniform Civil Code and Article 370 in its election manifesto, has promised to address core Hindutva issues.
"There is a sense of belief among the Sangh workers that even if Modi does not overtly talk about Hindutva issues, he will not betray Hindutva in any way. There is a feeling that he will look after nation building and security as well,'' said another senior Sangh Parivar worker.
What the Modi factor has done for the BJP candidates in Dakshina Kannada and the Udupi-Chikmagalur constituencies is wipe out internal differences over the choice of nominees.
In Dakshina Kannada, while Sangh Parivar functionaries do not hold sitting MP Nalin Kumar Kateel in high regard, they have decided to overlook his shortcomings and focus on helping Modi to win. In Udupi-Chikmagalur, while there was initial resistance to the candidature of Shobha Karandlaje from a local leader, C T Ravi, the latter is now actively campaigning for her.
"In their heart of hearts the Sangh Parivar workers want to ignore local differences and vote for Modi. They are setting aside fears of co-existing with the MPs they elect for this reason,'' said the senior Sangh Parivar leader.
"While the BJP campaign at the national level may not be focusing on Hindutva issues, at the local level, in places like Mangalore, the campaigns are consistently focused on Hindutva and communal issues. The votes are being sought in the name of Modi, not the local candidate,'' said Prof Rajaram Tolpady, a professor of political science at the Mangalore University.
Incidentally, cases have been booked against several Sangh Parivar leaders, including top RSS leader Dr Prabhakar Bhat Kalladka, for making communal speeches.
