Serena, 35, wins title 23, pursuing 24
Reuters | 2/3/2017, 7:06 p.m.
Serena Williams celebrates after defeating sister Venus to win the women's singles title at the Australian Open. Her victory boosted her total of major wins to 23, the most for any player in the Open era and just one shy of all-time major winner Margaret Court, who won 24, but 11 before 1968 when the sport went professional. Roger Federer of Switzerland, who also won this tournament, leads the men with 18 major wins.
Serena Williams reigned supreme in tennis' great sibling rivalry, edging an emotion-charged clash with sister Venus to claim her seventh Australian Open last Saturday.
The win also marked Serena's record 23rd grand slam title. Only Margaret Court, who watched the match from the terraces, is ahead of her on 24.
"It's such a great feeling to have 23," the 35-year-old tennis star said later about surpassing Steffi Graf of Germany as the most prolific grand slam champion. "I've been chasing it for a really long time … I'm here. I'm here," she said, relishing the historic victory.
Serena won her first major at the U.S. Open in 1999. She tied Graf's tally of 22 grand slam titles last year at Wimbledon. Her 6-4, 6-4 win last Saturday at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne was at the expense of her older sister, Venus, whom she paid tribute to in her remarks at the winner's ceremony for being her longtime doubles partner and enduring inspiration.
"She's an amazing person," Serena said of Venus. "There's no way I would be at 23 without her," she said as she cradled the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup. "There's no way I would have anything without her."
Beset by nerves early in the tense family affair, the American needed all her firepower and famed mental strength to fend off Venus, who scrapped hard to the end.
Fourteen years after beating Venus for her maiden title at Melbourne Park, Serena's seventh crown was sealed with a heady charge to the net that forced a desperate backhand from Venus to float wide.
Eyes ablaze in joyous disbelief, Serena slumped to the court and threw her hands in the air, the world No. 1 ranking also recaptured from Angelique Kerber.
"Playing Venus," she said, "it's stuff that legends are made of. I couldn't have written a better story."
Serena arrived in Melbourne with only two matches under her belt, having cut short her season to recover from an injury after the U.S. Open.
But she roared through the tournament without losing a set. The relentless pursuit of grand slam silverware will go on, and with sister in tow.
"We're both, like I say, 30-fun," said Serena of their longevity. "Now I just feel like I'm satisfied with where I am, although I always want to win."
Venus, 36, had already proved an inspiration by reaching her first final since her loss to Serena at Wimbledon in 2009. It made her the oldest woman to do so at Melbourne Park since tennis went professional in 1968.
Venus lost her seventh of nine grand slam title matches to her younger sister but won over the crowd.
"Congratulations Serena on No. 23," she said. "I've been right there with you, some of them I've lost right there with you," Venus said, raising a laugh from the crowd.
"Your win has always been my win," Venus told her. "You know that."

Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death
This is a remarkable short story full of allegory and symbolism. Researchers claim Poe does not have a style of conveying a moral message, but I disagree; I believe the context of Poe's story expresses the fullness of logic and moral. Nevertheless, this fantastic fantasy of horror may leave the reader deducing its meaning according to his own relativity.
The story takes place in a period of time, and region surrounded by death from a fictitious plague. There was never such a fatal and horrible plague to hit the region throughout history, "blood was its avatar and its seal" (319), claims the narrator. The plague was titled The Red Death, because one of the symptoms was abundant bleeding from the pours, claiming the lives of its victims within half an hour. No one was safe, or able to escape the inevitable Red Death. Not even the wealthiest men and woman of the region.
The Prince of the land, Prince Prospero decided to throw a party "while his dominions were half depopulated" (319). The name Prospero denotes prosperity. A man of super wealth is displayed as an absolute selfish man. Inconsiderate of those suffering from the plague beyond the gates of his castle; instead of spending his money to aid those dying in his dominion, he decides to fund a masquerade ball in his secluded castle, hosting one thousand of the wealthiest men of his dominion. Poe is clearly distinguishing the utter ruin of the super elite's morality.
The castle was a glorious structure, heavily guarded walls and gates of iron with welded bolts, (319). It was perceived that nothing could enter the gates, not even the red death, as if the walls were invincible. The castle was adorned and supplied with beauty, dancers, music, actors and wine. Everything needed for entertainment was supplied for the Princes one thousand guest during the climax of the plague.
In the imperial suite of the castle there were seven rooms. Each room was painted a different color. The first room was the color of blue, to the second was purple, to the third was green, then orange, white, violet, and the final room, the seventh room was the most significant. The room was painted black with window panes the color of "scarlet – a deep blood color" (320). On the western wall of the seventh room was a vast clock with a pendulum swinging to and fro. Every hour the clock rang with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang echoing loudly, beyond even the music, (320).
The clock and the seven rooms with seven different colors play a significant role in the story. Professor of English and Theatre of Arts at Fuqua School in Farmville, Virginia, Martha Womack suggests that, "the seven rooms represent the seven stages of one's life from birth to death . . . The seven rooms are laid out from east to west, reminding us of the course of the sun which measures our earthly time" (Womack). This interpretation makes sense because it correlates with the clock in the final room, which has the measurement of a twenty four hour period, representing the amount of time it takes for the sun to rise and fall from east to west.
Other researchers claim that the seven rooms signify Prince Prospero's indulgence in the seven deadly sins. Master of Arts in Literature, free-lance writer and English High School teacher at Norwalk, Ohio Trench Lorcher describes each room in relationship to the seven sins,
"Pride/Vanity – Pride is the excessive belief in one's own abilities, similar to vanity, which is setting one's heart on things of little value. Prospero's belief that he is more powerful than death is a vivid demonstration of pride.
Envy – It is unclear who the Prince might envy, but he sure is trying hard to impress someone.
Gluttony – Gluttony is the act of consuming more than one is required. Instead of using his means to protect more people, something he is obligated to do as prince, he lavishes his guests with "ample provisions" and "the appliances of pleasure."
Lust – Lust is an excessive craving for the pleasures of the body, usually associated with sex. The era in which Poe wrote prohibited the explicit or implicit description of sex, but what do you think was going on at an anything goes party?
Anger – The Prince becomes angry with the uninvited guest and attacks it.
Greed – Although it is apparent Prince Prospero shares his wealth with a thousand guests, he helps those who need it least and withholds his substance from those in need.
Sloth – Sloth is the absence of work. The prince seems like a hard worker; his work, however, is on the physical realm not the spiritual realm," (Lorcher). Taking into account this interpretation of the seven rooms, I will add, that perhaps each of the colors of the rooms represents each of the seven sins expressed by man, which ultimately leads to death, (the seventh room).
Considering all point of views, and following the context of Poe; I believe the clock ranging on the hour of every hour until the arrival of the Red Death intrigued my thoughts the most. The following view is mine own interpretation. Every hour the clock rang with a haunting sound in the ears filtering through the minds of the elite. At the sound of the chimes the music ceases, the dancing comes to a halt, the laughing, and conversations stop. Not a sound echoes through the castle except for the loud and dull chimes. It was at this moment of cessation that the elite were able to ponder to themselves, perhaps reflecting on the reality of death plaguing what seemed to them the outside world. Perhaps the sound of the clock reminded them that even them, with all their wealth will soon meet the same fate as the lowest human creature they attempt to forget; death. The chiming soon ends, and the elite chuckles nervously as they begin to dance and laugh once again until the appearance of the Red Death.
The Red Death finally enters the castle, trespassing the security, high walls and welded bolts. Disturbing the ball, they do not recognize the plague has entered their sanctuary. This is where my interpretation differs from Lorcher's. Prince Prospero follows death through all the rooms until he reaches the final room signifying death. Not only is it Prospero who indulges in the seven sins as they pass through all seven chambers. But the rest of the guest's pass through all the chambers as well until they meet death face to face, and fall victim to the plague. Therefore Prince Prospero not only represents himself but all who follow him in his malevolent ways. The final line of the Poe's literature tells the moral of the story, "and Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all" (323).
Death is a promise to all . From the wealthiest to the poorest, death does not discriminate. Lay the decaying remains of the rich along the side of the decaying remains of the poor, and there is no difference. Therefore no man ought to think of himself higher than the other. We all breathe the same air, and bleed the same blood. No man can become immortal, and no amount of money or technology can stand the hand of death when it comes.

Sexism at Cancer Lab
by Politics of Cancer Committee, Science for the People, NYC Chapter
'Science for the People' Vol. 8, No. 5, September/October 1976, p. 20–23
Three cancer researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center1 (FHCRC), Seattle, Washington, have lost their appointments at the culmination of a three-year fight with the administration of that Center. Their struggle exposes some of the basic flaws in the "war on cancer," which currently spends about three quarters of a billion dollars a year without making significant progress in reduction of either incidence or death rate.
Ruth W. Shearer, Ph.D. and two of her male coworkers held appointments as Assistant Members of the FHCRC beginning in 1972. Their specific interest was in the mechanism of cancer-causation by chemicals, viruses and radiation, as well as the factors involved in preventing the carcinogenic process. Dr. Shearer had written over a dozen papers in the field and participated in a number of international symposia. She organized the well-attended "Diet and Cancer" symposium at the AAAS meeting in Boston, February, 1976, at which her associate Dr. Thomas J. Slaga, presented a paper on "Protective Factors in the Diet." Even the man who fired her, William B. Hutchinson, M.D.,2 president and director, admitted (as he dismissed her), " … you have a highly creditable record of research accomplishment and this is recognized nationally." (letter to RWS, 2/12/75) Yet, despite this, none of the three was recommended for appointment after July 1, 1976, and two of them are now working elsewhere. The other has remained with Pacific N.W. Research Foundation (PNRF), the parent organization of FHCRC, where all three held positions prior to the existence of FHCRC.
In a series of memoranda which she has made available to Science for the People, Dr. Shearer relates that their problems began after she and her two colleagues were placed in the "disloyal" category in 1973 by Dr. Charles Evans, associate director and effective head of FHCRC. This was in part the result of their protesting sex discrimination: although all three scientists had come to the PNRF at the same time, after completing their postdoctoral training, Dr. Shearer received substantially less pay and benefits than her two colleagues, something she found out when they compared their paychecks. She naturally requested pay equal to that of the two men, and the two supported her request. This was, of course, taboo and helped mark her as a dangerous agitator.3
Their disloyalty was verified in the eyes of the administration, Dr. Shearer says, "when we failed to bring our checks for $100 for Senator Warren Magnuson's [D.-Wash.] campaign, after being commanded to do so by Dr. Hutchinson's secretary." (letter from RWS to Scientific Advisory Board, FHCRC, 11/19/75) Magnuson is a long-time friend of the research lobby in Washington and was instrumental in getting the FHCRC established and funded. He is featured in a prominent full-page photo in the FHCRC Annual Report (1975). Such Congressional patrons of Big Science apparently reap rich rewards, in votes and money, if Ruth Shearer's experience is at all typical.
From then on, the Administration considered them "unmanageable." (quoted in letter from RWS to Scientific Advisory Board, 11/19/75) When Dr. Slaga approached Dr. Karl Hellstrom, a well-known FHCRC immunologist, and asked why they were not being appointed, "he was told that the COPAP [Committee on Program and Personnel] members all know that our research is good, but we don't have a leader." The trio had always functioned as a cooperative, so there was no individual the hierarchy could pressure in order to control them.
" … Perhaps you are aware that the Scientific Advisory Board is in fact something of a puppet superstructure, existing more to comply with terms of granting agencies than to provide powerful influence or direction to the Center."
-from a letter from a member of the Scientific Advisory Board to an M.D. friend of Dr. Shearer's who had written to the Board in support of her case after all 10 members of the Scientific Advisory Board failed to answer her letter of November 19, 1975.
The by-laws of the FHCRC charge the Scientific Advisory Board with the determination of program priorities. These decisions have been taken over by COPAP. Unlike the SAB, required by the by-laws to be nonemployees, all but one COPAP member are employees of FHCRC with vested interests in promoting the fields of research which associate director Charles Evans favors.
To break their growing unity, the administrators tried some classic divisory tactics. For instance, they told Dr. Shearer in January, 1974, that she would have to wait until June for her pay raise. They then authorized pay raises for the two men to start the next month. "I objected to this discriminatory delay in my pay raise," she wrote in a memorandum on 12116/75, "and was told that in that case the men would also have to wait until June! This obvious attempt to destroy our cooperative relationship by the 'divide and conquer' technique failed, but communication did become more strained" among the three.
The FHCRC also demonstrated that they placed their own political needs above the need to fight cancer. Their harrassment significantly hampered the scientists' work. For example, Dr. Shearer was given very little workspace, and they were not allowed to accept grants which paid less overhead than the National Cancer Institute (NCI) paid. They were assigned parking two blocks away, although new people appointed in 1975 were parking right across the street. When Dr. Shearer called these problems to Dr. Hutchinson's attention, he refused to answer her letter.

At New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center virtually no research into epidemiology has been done in almost a decade, there is no department of preventive medicine, and carcinogenesis research has very low priority: at Sloan-Kettering, only three or four scientists, out of almost 300, are working on prevention-related projects. For this reason, the Politics of Cancer Committee of Science for the People, NY Chapter, has demanded that Memorial Sloan-Kettering devote a major part of its effort to research into the prevention of cancer. In analyzing Sloan-Kettering Institute, our Committee has found that the very people who would stand to lose the most by a preventive approach to cancer also dominate Sloan-Kettering: the big polluters, such as General Motors, and the New York bankers who control these corporations. For more than a dozen years, Dr. Leo Wade, former medical director of Standard Oil of New Jersey, was the vice-president of Sloan-Kettering. Under his direction practically nothing was done to uncover carcinogens in the environment. Several other prominent Board members are also officers of Exxon.
The monopoly capitalists have many prestigious scientists on their payroll, whose job it is to defend their profit-oriented approach to medicine, and make it sound "scientific." Dr. Lewis Thomas, for example, the President of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, is a vocal opponent of unorthodox methods. He is also on the Board of Directors of Squibb, Inc., one of the world's largest drug companies and manufacturers of anticancer drugs. Dr. Robert A. Good, director of Sloan-Kettering Institute, is a consultant to Merck, Sharpe & Dohme, another drug giant. Dr. James B. Fisk, another MSKCC Trustee, is a director of American Cyanamid/Lederle Laboratories, makers of Methotrexate and other anticancer agents. There are many other examples.
When this kind of conflict-of-interest is built into the structure of a research center, it is practically impossible for any productive research to be done which might threaten the capitalists.
After Ruth Shearer communicated these problems to the Scientific Advisory Board of FHCRC in November 1975, the administration wrote to the NCI and requested the withdrawal of Dr. Shearer's grant for research in the molecular genetics of tumors. The head of tumor biology grants at NCI, Dr. Brian Kimes, told her that it was unheard of for an administrator to try to sabotage a priority project in this manner. Kimes called the FHCRC leadership and got them to postpone this request until the end of May. Next, the FHCRC refused to allow her to transfer any of her research equipment to her new sponsoring institution, even though this equipment had been bought specifically for her projects. Although many institutions do keep researchers' equipment when they leave by choice, the American Cancer Society, which had paid for most of Dr. Shearer's equipment in the first place, requested its transfer to facilitate continuity in the project. The administration regarded the equipment not as tools which Dr. Shearer would use to try to understand cancer, but as private property which they had acquired and intended to hold on to in order to build their research fiefdom.
In addition, she claims that they siphoned off funds, which were donated to PNRF specifically for her research, into the building program of FHCRC. In investigating these relatively small gifts, Dr. Shearer discovered that "all contributions, no matter how designated, end up in the building fund" at FHCRC (memorandum by RWS, 12/16/75).
Putting Prevention Last
Dr. Shearer and her two colleagues' work is in the field of chemical carcinogenesis, a vital area of research since 60-90 percent of human cancers are caused by environmental factors.4 Yet when they met with Dr. Charles Evans in the fall of 1974 to discuss their progress, Evans began the meeting with, "Now, you know that I don't consider chemical carcinogenesis an important field-I believe that virology and immunology are the only fields of cancer research worth pursuing." (RWS memo 12/16/75) Although this may sound shocking to some, Evans' attitude reflects the general situation in the "war on cancer" today. Such fields as chemical carcinogenesis and epidemiology are two areas that must be stressed if cancer is to be prevented. Yet the NCI spends only about 10-17 percent of its budget on cancer causation,5 and the higher figure generously includes the virus program, or "biological carcinogenesis" as it is now sometimes called!
A subcommittee of the National Cancer Advisory Board, headed by Dr. Philippe Shubik, expressed its "general astonishment" in 1975 at the "low priority" accorded research into environmental causes of cancer. More recently, Dr. Umberto Saffioti resigned his post as head of the NCI chemical carcinogenesis program in the Division of Cancer Cause and Prevention and made similar charges.
"There's Money in Cancer"
The control of research depends in part on the governing boards and officials of institutions like FHCRC (see box for another example), and on the national policies of the granting agencies. However, in addition it is shaped by the prevailing ideology of the science practitioners themselves, which frequently takes the form of individualism, opportunism and careerism. These attitudes can serve the interests of offending industries and business in general-the capitalist system-as well as if the big capitalists were directing these matters themselves. Building an "empire" and defending it become the chief goals of science administrators and many researchers wind up having to spend half of their time simply writing proposals and pursuing funds. In such a situation, success and power often go to those who care the least about the serious responsibilities of their work.
Careerism, in particular, stifles creative and potentially "disturbing" research at this and similar cancer centers, which have sprung up since the passage of the National Cancer Act in 1971. When Dr. Shearer asked one FHCRC scientist (member of COPAP) to collaborate with her on a project, he told her irritatedly, "Look, I don't want to talk about correlations! I don't believe my work is significant to cancer. Sure I'm in a cancer center, but that's for political reasons. There's money in cancer. But I'm not really interested in cancer!" (letter from RWS to Scientific Advisory Board, FHCRC, 11/19/75)
This kind of opportunism is common in the "war on cancer" and the astute opportunist often knows how to hustle for grants and contracts and beat out the more serious or dedicated researchers. Yet, as Dr. Shearer points out, "the most important questions require a many-pronged attack by researchers trained in different disciplines. This is a primary reason for the establishment of comprehensive cancer centers in the first place!" (memo of 12/16/75)
Another obstacle to productive research is the effect such careerism, opportunism and greed have on the development of new ideas. Dr. Howard Temin, upon being notified that he had received the 1975 Nobel Prize, said he thought that cancer research needed new ideas more urgently that it needed more money. "The limiting thing is a lack of new approaches." (Portland Oregonian, October 7, 1975). Yet, as Dr. Shearer says, "New ideas are stifled by the system which requires that new Ph.D.s find a niche in the domain of an established researcher and keep this privilege by doing research which supports the interests and biases of that person rather than following up on their own leads." (memo of 12/16/75)
This "feudal system" helps to keep new ideas down and mavericks in their place. Contrary to the mythology of the War on Cancer, new ideas are not encouraged and are sometimes even suppressed if they threaten the interests of top bureaucrats or the big bankers and industrialists who wield enormous power in the medical field.
Ruth Shearer and her colleagues fought hard, but did not win their struggle. Their protest, revealed in letters and memos, exposes the FHCRC administration, and illuminated some of the basic issues underlying cancer research. Issues such as these can become the focus for organized struggles. They can be used to educate and organize cancer center employees and the general public to oppose repressive and discriminatory policies. This could be done through leaflets, forums or articles. Ultimately, we feel that by bringing people into strong and principled organizations effective changes can be made in the field of science, and fights like this can be won.
The experience of these researchers shows that the fight against cancer is a political struggle, involving fundamental class interests, as well as a scientific one.
Politics of Cancer Committee
Science for the People, New York City Chapter
Epilogue: Ruth Shearer is now working-free of bureaucratic abuse and inhibitions-at a newly formed nonprofit research organization, the Issaquah Group for Health and Environmental Research near Seattle. This organization was created by friends and supporters of Dr. Shearer in her battle with the FHCRC. (address: 1595 N. W. Gilman Blvd., Issaquah, W A 98027). Dr. Thomas J. Slaga is now working in the Cancer and Toxicology Program of the Biology Division of Oak Ridge National Lab, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Members of the Politics of Cancer Committee of SftP in New York work in the fields of health care and cancer research. Several of them are employed at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Research Center where they have been actively involved in struggle pertaining to cancer research, especially opposing the suppression of new ideas and advocating emphasis on cancer prevention.
Fred Hutchinson was a professional baseball player who died of cancer in 1964. The FHCRC was organized in 1971, and designated one of the Comprehensive Cancer Centers by the National Cancer Institute in 1972, in part through the efforts of Sen. Warren Magnuson [D. Wash.]
FHCRC Director, William Hutchinson, brother of Fred Hutchinson, is a former surgeon. He is wealthy and has close ties to the Seattle political and financial elite.
This male chauvinism is obviously not unique to the FHCRC administration. At the Sloan-Kettering Institute in NY, only two of the 44 Members and Member Emeriti are women.

The bulk of NCI funding is for research in treatment and rehabilitation of cancer, including for example chemotherapy (treatment with experimental anticancer drugs), radiation therapy (use of all kinds of radiation to destroy cancer tissue) and diagnostic technologies.
Health Hazards of Nuclear Power
Women and Health: A Review of the Literature


Following the success of Savall's first volume of 'La Follia' compositions (AliaVox AV9805), it was a foregone conclusion that sooner or later, a second instalment would be compiled. Well here it now is in all its splendour and glory.
The first disc covered compositions between 1490 and 1701 with this album slightly wider time spectrum: 1500 to 1750. The composers include some very well known names like Corelli, Vivaldi, Piccinini and Mundana.
De Cabezón, Ruffo, Falconiero, Storace, Playford, Sanz, Corbetta, Cabanilles, Albicastro and De Murcia are maybe less famous but nonetheless, their music is as beautiful and inventive as the others.
Savall also includes two anonymous pieces which should generate a lot of enthusiasm; the 'Folias criollas' from Peru (track 1) is particularly exciting. We have now become accustomed to the luscious presentations from AliaVox and this latest issue is of the same high standards. What I particularly like about this label is that each album is not only a feast for the ears but for the eyes as well.
Although playing time is very generous, the music is so engrossingly ethereal that one does not even realize that the journey has come to an end. Two and a half centuries really do fly by with Savall's annotations once again a treasure trove of historic information that go part and parcel with the wonderful music on offer.

Home | Tradition in transition
Rabbi Yossy Goldman
They say adapt or die. But must we jettison the old to embrace the new? Is the choice limited to modern or antiquated, or can one be a contemporary traditionalist?
At the beginning of this week's parshah, we read that Moses was occupied with a special mission as the Jews were leaving Egypt. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him. Long before the great exodus, Joseph had made the Children of Israel swear that they would take him along when they eventually left Egypt. As viceroy of Egypt, Joseph couldn't hope to be buried in Israel when he died as his father, Jacob, was. The Egyptians would never tolerate their political leader being buried in a foreign land. But he did have his brethren make a solemn undertaking that when the time came and the Israelites departed, they would take his remains along with them.
Now, Joseph wasn't the only one to be re-interred in the holy land. His brothers, too, were accorded the same honour and last respects. Yet, it's only Joseph whom the Torah finds it necessary to mention explicitly. Why?
The answer is that Joseph was unique. While his brothers were simple shepherds tending to their flocks, Joseph was running the superpower of the world. To be a practicing Jew while blissfully strolling through the meadows isn't that complicated. But to serve as the most high-profile statesman in the land and remain faithful to one's traditions – this is inspirational!
Thrust as he was from the simple life of a young shepherd boy into the hub of the nation's capital to juggle the roles of viceroy and Jew, Joseph represented tradition amidst transition. It was possible, he taught the world, to be a contemporary traditionalist. One could successfully straddle both worlds.
Now that they were about to leave Egypt, the Jews were facing a new world order. Gone were slavery and oppression and in their place came freedom and liberty. During this time of transition, only Joseph could be their role model. He alone could show them the way forward into the new frontier.
Ever since leaving Egypt, we've been wandering Jews. And every move has come with its own challenges. Whether from Poland to America or Lithuania to South Africa, every transition brought culture shocks to our spiritual psyche. How do you make a living and still keep the Shabbos you kept in the shtetl when the factory boss says, "Cohen, if you don't come in on Saturday, don't come in on Monday either!" It was a test of faith that wasn't easy. Many succumbed. But many others stood fast and survived, even flourished. It was the test of transition – and those who modelled themselves on Joseph were able to make the transition while remaining committed to tradition.
Democracy and a human-rights culture have made that part of Jewish life somewhat easier for us, but challenges still abound. May we continue to learn from Joseph.

Living in South Africa, we see how bribery and corruption result in the decay of our social institutions and unless checked, can lead to the breakdown of society. The Torah teaches that bribery could also undermine the moral fibre of our personal lives.
This week, we read Parshas Mishpatim. The verse (Shmos 23:8) says, "You shall not accept a bribe for the bribe will blind those who see and corrupt the words of the righteous." We assume this doesn't apply to us because most of us aren't judges in courts hearing disputes between litigants.
The commentators explain that this isn't correct. As individuals, we make judgement calls many times each day. In making those decisions, we constantly need to be on guard to not take bribes.
The Torah is teaching us that any time there's personal gain involved, be it physical pleasure, money, honour, or convenience, we are already "on the take" and our judgement is compromised.
In his sefer Emunah V'Bitachon, the Chazon Ish writes, "Personal involvement is something that affects great and small people alike. This is nothing to be ashamed about and it doesn't call into question the person's piety. This is engraved into human nature".
The purpose of life was told to the Jewish people by G-d at Mount Sinai. Our souls were sent down to this world into our bodies for us to develop and grow spiritually. The mitzvos are the framework for this inner work. Our objective is to rise above our lower selves, beyond the urges of our physical existence. To live a life fulfilling the will of our creator rather than being fixated on our appetite for power and pleasure. This can be achieved only by rising above our own personal agenda.
How do we live in a truthful way, overcoming our natural bias towards lowly personal interests? Rabbi Frand advises following the teaching in Pirkei Avos (Avos 1:6): "Make yourself a rav, and acquire for yourself a friend." We all delude ourselves saying, "I'm able to raise myself above my personal interests and come to a balanced and proper decision." This is very difficult to do without the input and advice of a non-compromised third party. Fortunate is the person whose spouse is that friend and objective advisor. We would all be wise to follow this advice in our wonderful journey through life.
Rabbi Pini Pink
This week we read the portion of Yisro, which contains one the most famous passages of the Torah – the Ten Commandments. We read of the build-up, the aftershock, and the actual giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai.
Of the Ten Commandments, the first two were spoken by G-d and the other eight by Moses. In the Book of Psalms, King David refers to this, and says, "one did G-d speak, two were heard". The Talmud explains this to mean that G-d spoke the first two commandments simultaneously, but as this was incomprehensible to us, He repeated them as two separate commandments. As the creator of man, G-d was well aware of human constraints, so why did He speak both commandments at once if He knew He would have to repeat them?
The Torah comprises a total of 613 commandments broken down into two categories. There are 248 positive commandments that we must act upon such as putting on tefillin, family purity, and making kiddush on Shabbat. The other 365 are "negative" commandments that inform us what we must refrain from, such as prohibited actions on Shabbat and non-kosher food. This division is echoed in the first two Ten Commandments. The first commandment is positive – we must express our belief in one G-d – and the second is negative – we must refrain from worshipping other gods.
Fulfilling the different mitzvot also has different effects. A positive commandment draws down positive energy into this world, making the world a better place to live in with blessings and spiritual light. The reward for negative mitzvot is the removal of negativity – reducing evil in the world and removing sickness, suffering, war, and spiritual darkness.
When G-d spoke the first two commandments at the same time, then repeated them separately, He was teaching us that although the commandments seem to differ in their form and effect, they are essentially one and the same – to make the world a better place. Whatever situation we find ourselves in, positive or negative, G-d is teaching us that there's a way to bring blessing and goodness into the world.
Rav Ilan Herrmann
What's the key to the blessings we need from Hashem? One such approach is hinted at in the opening words of this week's portion, "Vayigash eilav Yehudah", "and Yehudah approach him" or more accurately, "And approached him Yehudah".
Contained in these three words are a hidden message. The verse merely says "him" (without specifying a name) and consequently, we can see a deeper hint here. "Him" can allude to the true Him – Hashem. So the verse reads, "And approached Him [Hashem] Yehudah." What does Yehudah mean? The name comes from the root word "Hoda'ah" (gratitude).
Thus, we uncover a secret in this verse: how do we approach Hashem to bring down the blessings we need? "Approached Him [Hashem] with gratitude [yehudah-hoda'ah]."
We often focus on what we lack, and appeal to Hashem from that consciousness to fulfil our needs. Yes, we must ask for our needs to be fulfilled by Hashem, but what's the posture or position most effective in approaching Hashem? This verse alludes to approaching through gratitude. By acknowledging and appreciating the many things we are blessed with, we create a channel for even more blessings.
Rabbi Moshe Schnerb recently told a story on ChaiFM that illustrates this. A family of many children had successfully been able to find marriage partners for all their children yet for some reason, was unsuccessful with one daughter in spite of the fact that she was full of chein (grace) and beauty and was certainly eligible. In spite of many attempts, there was no success. Repeated disappointment and heartache caused concern and frustration. The parents davened and prayed, asking Hashem "Why, why" she wasn't finding her bashert (soulmate). Their mood was bleak.
Soon afterwards, the girl met another candidate, everything seemed to be going well, and the good news was expected. At the 11th hour, however, the matchmaker called the parents with a heavy heart saying that the potential chosson (groom) had decided to turn the marriage down. The girl and her parents were devastated.
The father turned to his wife and said, "We must be doing something wrong. Look at us, so blessed with children all happily settled with families and health yet all we are focusing on is what we don't have – our daughter's success in finding her match! From now on, we approach it differently – with gratitude. We thank Hashem for all we have been blessed with. That's our stance!"
Rabbi Schnerb continued that within an hour, the phone rang and the matchmaker said in excitement and disbelief, "I have no idea what happened, but the family called me back to stress that they definitely wanted to pursue the arrangement and didn't want to lose this special girl."
The change in focus to gratitude opened the gates of heaven, and the brocha flowed.

Former CCICADA Fellow Battles Ebola Epidemic Using Advanced Data Analysis from His CDC Office in Atlanta
Posted on November 19, 2014 by WebMaster in Education, Graduate Fellowship, slider
Former CCICADA graduate fellow Brad Greening (right) is seen here at CDC in headquarters in Atlanta with Dr. Michael Washington.
From his office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Brad Greening, 29, is using every research tool at his disposal to stay one step ahead of the rampaging Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Greening, a former DHS Career Development graduate fellow with CCICADA, is working with a CDC team that employs sophisticated mathematical models to predict where the outbreak will spread next and how many people it will affect. CDC officials and Ebola responders eagerly consume this data. It tells them, for example, how many beds and lab tests will be needed—and where and when—to arrest history's worst Ebola outbreak.
As of mid-November, 2014, more than 14,000 cases had been reported in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, resulting in over 5,000 deaths.
"There's so much that needs to be done. People really want to understand any predictive information…that can help them make sense of the mess of (field) data that is available," Greening said in a telephone interview from his office at CDC headquarters.
Greening is a prime example of the new generation of homeland-security professionals whose careers have been launched by CCICADA, a DHS University Center of Excellence, which uses advanced data research and analysis to assist the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and related agencies in protecting the American people from natural and man-made threats.
Greening was selected by the CDC as one of 10 recent PhDs to receive a Steven M. Teutsch Prevention Effectiveness Fellowship. This competitive, two-year postdoctoral research fellowship focuses on the application of quantitative methods to the science of health protection, health promotion and disease prevention. He began his work in August, 2014.
The Prevention Effectiveness (PE) Fellowship is the largest postdoctoral training program in the quantitative, health-decision sciences in the US, with 23 current fellows and more than 120 program graduates since 1995. Its goal is to create a cadre of quantitative policy analysts that can help health-policy decision makers make the best use of available resources to protect the public's health.
Greening was hired by the CDC to work in its Health Economics and Modeling Unit on a variety of infectious diseases, but Ebola has become his full-time job. "We take field data (from West Africa) and fit it into an Ebola response modeling tool," he says. "Right now, our day-to-day activity is consumed with updating predictions already made."
Former CCICADA graduate fellow Brad Greening now works with the CDC to fight the spread of Ebola.
Greening started his current career path when he came to Rutgers University in 2008 as a participant in the DIMACS Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. At that time, his main interests were in computer science theory and related mathematics. His REU project with Professor Nina Fefferman combined these interests with a public health application: examining how the relative durations of social interactions and disease processes interact to shape epidemics.
Inspired by the potential to apply computational and mathematical modeling to practical problems such as those in public health, Greening decided to do his graduate work in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources with Fefferman as his advisor (despite having taken no undergraduate courses in biology).
This led Greening to a 3-year graduate fellowship at Rutgers University at the CCICADA Center, where Fefferman is a major player.
The fellowship was funded by a DHS Career Development Grant to CCICADA, which is designed to introduce students to mathematical and computational applications in homeland security, including those in public health.
The DHS Career Development Grant internship requirement led Greening to a summer internship with the CDC, where he worked with Professor Fefferman and CDC's Dr. Michael Washington (shown with Greening at left) developing models to help plan for response during heat-related emergencies in cities. The ultimate goal of Greening's project was to develop optimization strategies to determine: 1) where to open temporary facilities for medical care in a city experiencing a heat emergency; and 2) how to assign individuals to those centers for treatment in order to minimize potential loss of life.
His graduate and doctoral work at Rutgers and CCICADA helped position Greening to be a strong candidate for his current PE Fellowship with the CDC.
As a PE Fellow, Greening joins the CDC's Health Economics and Modeling Unit (HEMU), which is part of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of Preparedness and Emerging Infections (DPEI). DPEI works to build and strengthen public health capacity by enhancing the ability of CDC and its public health partners to prepare for and respond to infectious diseases, including outbreaks, bioterrorism, and other public health emergencies. HEMU has led efforts in modeling cholera, anthrax, dengue, influenza, West Nile Virus and other emerging pathogens, including Ebola.
Greening's PE fellowship supervisor and mentor is distinguished health economist Dr. Martin Meltzer, whose comments on Ebola modeling efforts recently appeared in Science magazine. Projects Greening will work on during his fellowship include: Ebola modeling; developing mathematical models of the typhoid vaccine; supplemental vs. routing vaccines for such diseases as measles and polio in developing countries; and updating and enhancing mathematical models of public health laboratory capacity under a range of scenarios.

The opening track on the disc remains silent for almost 30 seconds before the piano sounds, with a pretty intro that immediately rolls into the second track, Bring Me Safely Down, a piano based pop ballad with heartfelt vocals and a lovely violin.
Office Suite is spoken rather than sung and reminds me of 88 Lines About 44 Women by the Nails, one of my favorite 80's songs. It's a dead on, amusing rant about life in the office, with requisite mentions of Dilbert, carpal tunnel and tech geeks. The rhythm is catchy and simple, it's his wedding ring on a table top. Way cool, unexpectedly great track.
The Loneliest Boy in Toyland is another showcase for matthew's witty and acerbic lyrics. The bite isn't in the music which is melodic and warm with gentle rhythms that frame and highlight the bite of sometimes very amusing lyrics.
matthew's voice is deep and calming. If you're not careful you'll be lulled into such a relaxed frame of mind that you'll miss the bite of his words. He recorded this album to make himself happy, and he should be overjoyed because it is a disc that should make the listener happy as well. I'd like to see him try some more musically driving songs to match his driving lyrics.
The Texas influence is obvious and appealing, especially on Union Station. Now that matthew lives and writes in New York, I expect we'll see the change in his lifestyle mirrored in forthcoming releases.

Exxon's lawyer calls lawsuit a 'cruel joke' as climate change fraud trial ends
Friday, 8 November 2019 00:01 GMT

About our Climate coverage
We focus on the human and development impacts of climate change
The case, filed in October 2018 in Manhattan state court, is the first of several climate-related lawsuits against major oil companies to go to trial
By Brendan Pierson and Sebastien Malo
NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Lawyers for New York state and Exxon Mobil Corp delivered closing arguments in a closely watched trial accusing the oil company of hiding from investors the true cost of addressing climate change.
The case, filed in October 2018 in Manhattan state court, was the first of several climate-related lawsuits against major oil companies to go to trial.
It featured testimony from investors, experts and former Exxon Chief Executive Rex Tillerson, who denied the allegations against the company.
New York's attorney general alleges that Exxon caused investors to lose up to $1.6 billion by falsely telling them it had properly evaluated the impact of future climate regulations on its business. A verdict is expected within the next 40 days.
Exxon's lawyer said on Thursday the case was "meritless" and that the state failed to offer testimony from any investor who was misled.
"The case is almost a joke," Theodore Wells said. "But it's a cruel joke, your honor, because the reputations of a lot of people have been hurt and disparaged by the bringing of the complaint."
A lawyer for the state said the case came down to whether Exxon had adequately disclosed the cost of climate change.
"The question here isn't whether Exxon employees are good people or even were trying their best," Jonathan Zweig said.
He told the court that the state was dropping two of its four fraud claims and would limit its closing argument to claims brought under the Martin Act, a law that gives the New York attorney general's office broad power to pursue securities fraud cases without having to prove intent to defraud.
"The question in this case is whether Exxon's disclosures were accurate, and the evidence shows they were not," Zweig said.
The attorney general has said the company used a "proxy cost" of up to $80 per ton of carbon emissions in wealthy countries by 2040, but internally used figures as low as $40 per ton or none at all.
Tillerson testified that the proxy cost represented "macro level" assessment of the likely effect of future carbon regulations around the world on demand for fossil fuels, and was incorporated into a data guide used throughout Exxon.
Separately, he said, the company evaluated greenhouse gas costs at a "micro level" for specific projects, when appropriate.
Wells said the attorney general's case wrongly conflated proxy costs with those separate, project-specific costs.
Last month, just two days after the New York trial began, Massachusetts filed a similar lawsuit accusing Exxon of misleading investors and consumers for decades about the role fossil fuels play in climate change.
Both Massachusetts and New York began investigating Exxon after news reports in 2015 saying company scientists had determined that fossil fuel combustion must be reduced to mitigate the impact of climate change.
Exxon and other oil companies including BP Plc, Chevron Corp and Royal Dutch Shell Plc face lawsuits by cities and counties across the United States seeking funds to pay for seawalls and other infrastructure to guard against rising sea levels brought on by climate change.
The companies have said in court filings that they cannot be held liable for climate change.

Nuneaton's 'Hamburger' island has scooped a top award
It is the first of its kind in Warwickshire
The famous 'hamburger island'
Nuneaton's 'hamburger' island has won a top civil engineering award.
The £3.7m works to signalise the Coton Arches roundabout won the Medium Project Award in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).awards.
The project involved the provision of a southbound 'hamburger' connection through the roundabout, with approaches widened and extra lanes created.
Extra cycle lanes and more pedestrian links were also created as part of the works, which started in March 2018.
The roadworks are finally finished
Its locally-sourced supply chain, robust health and safety commitment and community involvement were among the key reasons why judges chose the Coton Arches scheme to win the award.
It was also' highly commended' in the Communication Award category for involving and communicating with all relevant stakeholders in the key decisions, which helped to overcome any concerns.
Jo Barnett, ICE East and West Midlands regional director, said: "Congratulations to all our 2020 West Midlands Awards entrants - the standard this year was, as always, extremely high.
"Our annual awards play an important role in not only demonstrating the importance of our civil engineers, whose hard work and dedication can often go unnoticed, but also in celebrating the positive impact that civil engineering has on our everyday lives.

The changes to the Coton Arches roundabout form part of the transport element of the Transforming Nuneaton project, making it easier for traffic to flow through the town.
But the works were not without teething problems, it included the infamous 'ski slope bump', which had to be fixed and there were also issues caused by congestion.
However, they were all ironed out by June last year - four months after the island was officially opened.

China acknowledges major progress in CPEC infrastructure, energy projects
Beijing: China on Thursday acknowledged a major progress, especially in the infrastructure and energy projects, being completed under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.
"CPEC is an important pilot programme in China and Pakistan joint efforts to build the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and there has been a major progress recently especially in infrastructure and energy projects," Chinese Foreign Ministry's Spokesperson Hua Chunying said in response to a question about speech of Chairman of CPEC, Authority, Asim Saleem Bajwa at the 11th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum (IIICF) in Macao Special Administrative Region.
"Many roads were built creating job opportunities and boosting economic development in relevant area and benefiting the people there. It has been applauded by people in Pakistan," she added.
Hua Chunying said that after Covid-19 broke out, the CPEC projects went on as usual playing an important role in Pakistan's presumption of economic growth. The recent meeting of 14th Five-Year Plan, blueprinted the future development.
"The two sides attach importance to this project and work together to implement our leaders' consensus and vow to carry out good jobs with existing projects, focus more on livelihood, industrial and agriculture cooperation," she added.
The spokesperson remarked that both China and Pakistan were committed to turn the CPEC into a demonstration project for the BRI and bring greater benefits to both countries and the region.
Speaking at the forum, the Chairman of the CPEC Authority said that the CPEC was a major pilot project of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Over the past five years, there were 22 construction projects under the framework of CPEC, covering roads, railways, airports, thermal power, hydropower, renewable energy, Gwadar Port, special economic zones and other areas.
"In face of the novel coronavirus, all CPEC projects have been moving forward, bringing hope for a future of peace and economic growth," he added.
He said that infrastructure investment and construction would be a key to reviving the jobs market and national economies.
"Under CPEC, no project has been suspended for construction, and no worker has been laid off," he told the gathering via video from Islamabad.
Later at the forum, Moin ul Haque, Pakistan's ambassador to China, invited members of the audience to applaud Chinese officials who made it possible for projects such as Lahore's Orange Metro Line subway system to be completed.
The 11th IIICF brings together ambassadors from 32 countries, senior executives from over 20 financial institutions, and representatives of top contractors and engineering equipment companies, international consulting firms, and engineering and construction services.
More than 1,000 people attended the first day of the conference -the largest public event in Macao so far this year.

On first pass, a wellness campaign doesn't sound like an effort that would bring in strong ROI. But lately the idea has gained traction, and hospitals have found promoting general wellbeing has benefits beyond a healthier community..
With recent changes in health care reimbursement, hospitals and health systems are transitioning from getting people into their facilities to keeping them healthy. And health care marketers are an important part of this change.


Meteorites - Presentation and Display -16th February 2011 Our General Meeting scheduled for Wednesday 16th February was supplanted by a 'Meteorite Night' held at the Benalla Christian School. This attracted an enthusiastic audience of over forty and included visitors of all ages. Trevor Hand of the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society (MPAS) enthralled all with his presentation. After an informative talk, we were invited to a hands-on examination of his meteorite specimens and the opportunity was enthusiastically snapped up. Peter Lowe, the President of the MPAS gave an excellent talk on the upcoming VASTROC (Victorian Astronomical Convention), hosted this year by MPAS (See: the Special Events page). His talk included a video of the facilities at MPAS which were both impressive and beckoning. A very enjoyable night. The appreciation of Astronomy Benalla was shown with a traditional Astronomical Societies presentation to Trevor and Peter who both received a very genuine and warm round of applause from the attendant crowd. The night ended with an excellent supper provided and served by the Members - well done to a successful evening which also resulted in at least one new member, who signed up on the night - welcome Bobby!

Silver Spring Woman Wins $2.35 Million Lawsuit Against Shady Grove Hospital
Woman had some fingers, most of right foot and left leg amputated
A Silver Spring woman has won a $2.35 million malpractice lawsuit against Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville after a misdiagnosis resulted in the amputation of several fingers, most of her right foot and left leg.
Yesenia Rivera, 28, arrived at the hospital's emergency room in shock and complaining of severe abdominal pain on Aug. 3, 2006. She'd been diagnosed with kidney stones two days earlier and sent home, said Julia Arfaa, her attorney. Hospital staff, however, said they believed she had an ectopic pregnancy and did not treat the kidney problem until hours later.

Blutgruppe AB ist ein deutscher Kriminalfilm von Bernhard Stephan aus dem Jahr 1972. Der Fernsehfilm erschien als 7. Folge der Filmreihe Polizeiruf 110.
Der Film ist in Schwarz-Weiß.

Handlung
Auf der Fahrt von Leipzig nach Berlin kommt es zwischen der jungen Sybille Arnold und ihrem Freund und Dozenten Dr. Pfeiffer zum Streit. Sie glaubt, dass er sie verlassen will. Als er nichts darauf erwidert, besteht Sybille darauf, im strömenden Regen in einer Waldgegend bei Lühnsdorf auszusteigen. Einige Zeit später erreicht sie offenbar unter Schock ein Forsthaus und schneidet sich an einer Sense die Pulsadern auf. Der Förster findet sie rechtzeitig und Sybille wird ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert.

Oberleutnant Jürgen Hübner und Leutnant Helga Lindt werden mit dem Fall betraut. Bei einer ersten Befragung gibt Sybille an, am Vormittag im Wald vergewaltigt worden zu sein. Sie sei auf der Landstraße in einen LKW eingestiegen, doch der Fahrer sei plötzlich in den Wald gefahren und habe sie vergewaltigt. Weitere Fragen Helga Lindts blockt sie zunächst ab, weil sie sich nicht erinnern will. Der behandelnde Arzt berichtet Helga Lindt, dass Sybille im vierten Monat schwanger ist. Ihr Selbstmordversuch hatte weniger mit der Vergewaltigung zu tun als vielmehr damit, dass sie das Kind nicht behalten will, weil ihr Freund sie verlassen hat. Der weiß nichts von dem Kind. Später berichtet sie, dass der Lastwagen des Vergewaltigers eine fleischähnliche Masse geladen hatte. Dem Mann hat sie während der Tat zudem einen Schlüssel entwendet, mit dem sie ihn am Kopf verletzt hat.

Die Ermittlungen führen zu einem Schlachthaus. Bald werden drei Männer der Tat verdächtigt: Herr Köhlermann ist der Fahrer des LKW, dessen Reifenprofil am Tatort gefunden wurde. Er sagt aus, an dem Tag den Wagen früh auf dem Hof des Schlachthauses zurückgelassen zu haben, weil die Beladung sich verzögerte. Erst gegen 12 Uhr habe er den LKW wieder abgeholt. Martin Rienacker hat eine verbundene Wunde am Kopf, die er jedoch mit einer Verletzung an einem neugezogenen Stacheldrahtzaun auf dem Werksgelände begründet. Er zeigt den Beamten zudem seinen Schlüsselbund. Helmut Paulsen war an dem Vormittag mehr als eine Stunde weg. Er gilt bei den Kollegen als verdächtig, weil er wegen Einbruchsdiebstahls vorbestraft ist. Paulsens Schlüssel ist zudem verschwunden, doch gibt Paulsen an, den LKW nur auf dem Hof beladen zu haben. Dabei habe er den Schlüssel verloren. Anschließend war er zu Fuß unterwegs, um sich bei einem Zirkus zu bewerben. Als Tierfreund sei die Arbeit im Schlachthof nichts für ihn.

Am Schlüsselbund wurden Blutspuren der seltenen Blutgruppe AB gefunden, die vom Täter stammen müssen. Herr Köhlermann, Martin Rienacker und Helmut Paulsen werden Blutproben abgenommen. Gleichzeitig legt Helga Lindt Sybille Fotos möglicher Täter vor. Die Zeit drängt, da in der Zwischenzeit bereits eine weitere Frau sexuell missbraucht wurde. Die Blutgruppe AB und auch Sybilles Identifizierung machen deutlich, dass es sich bei dem Täter um Martin Rienacker handelt. Eine sofort eingeleitete Fahndung kann eine dritte Tat gerade noch verhindern. Martin Rienacker wird festgenommen. Sybille und Dr. Pfeiffer sprechen sich aus; sie bleiben zusammen und werden eine Familie gründen.

Produktion
Blutgruppe AB wurde vom 21. März bis Anfang Mai 1972 unter dem Arbeitstitel Notzucht in Leipzig und Berlin gedreht. In Berlin wurde u. a. im Kolonnadenhof der Alten Nationalgalerie gedreht, Blickrichtung S-Bahnhof Marx-Engels-Platz (heute Bahnhof Berlin Hackescher Markt). Die Kostüme des Films schuf Elisabeth Lützkenberg, die Filmbauten stammen von Christoph Lindemann. Der Film erlebte am 16. Juli 1972 auf DFF 1 seine Fernsehpremiere.

Es war die 7. Folge der Filmreihe Polizeiruf 110 und mit nur 50 Minuten eine der kürzesten Folgen der Reihe überhaupt. Oberleutnant Jürgen Hübner ermittelte in seinem 1. Fall. Zudem war es neben Alarm am See einer von zwei Filmauftritten von Karin Ugowski als Leutnant Helga Lindt. Erstmals wurde in Blutgruppe AB ein psychisch motiviertes Verbrechen begangen. Zudem ist es der erste Film, in dem der Ermittler mit einer Schusswaffe in der Hand gezeigt wird.

Die Kritik konstatierte, dass der Umgang mit dem Opfer sehr sensibel gezeigt wurde – Sybille wird im Film zum Beispiel ausschließlich von Leutnant Helga Lindt befragt –, dass die Filmemacher dem Täter gegenüber jedoch hilflos agierten. "Die Schlußfolgerung, wie sie der Film vorführt, daß Sexualstraftäter mit unkontrolliertem Triebleben aus dem öffentlichen Leben zu entfernen und wegzusperren sind, ist sicher dürftig und zeigt eine Befangenheit gegenüber diesem Problem der Strafverfolgung, wie sie in dieser Zeit durchaus nicht die Ausnahme war."

Having inherited the warhorse stage piece Bird Of Paradise from his predecessor William Lebaron, Rko Radio production chief David O. Selznick opted to do the property up brown, hoping to transform the Richard Walton Tully original into Rko's "prestige" offering of 1932. Joel Mccrea stars as a handsome South Seas soldier of fortune who falls in love with Dolores Del Rio, the daughter of a Polynesian native chieftain. Alas, their idyllic romance is destined to come to a sudden and violent end: tribal custom decrees that Del Rio is to be sacrificed to the local volcano. After initial resistance, the heroine nobly resigns herself to her fate, realizing that there is no place for her in her white lover's civilization. A more conservative (and far less costly) version of Bird Of Paradise was filmed in 1952, with Jeff Chandler and Debra Paget.
