3 Dec 2015 2015, Music	1980s, Christmas, December, F minor, Frankie Goes To Hollywood	0
Today's festive tune is Frankie Goes To Hollywood's The Power Of Love, dating from 1983. Holly Johnson, who co-wrote the song with the rest of the band commented: "I always felt like The Power Of Love was the record that would save me in this life. There is a biblical aspect to its spirituality and passion; the fact that love is the only thing that matters in the end." The Power Of Love was covered by Gabrielle Aplin in 2012 and this version was used to accompany the John Lewis Christmas advert that year.

Writing's On The Wall
Today's song is Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall, the song from the latest Bond movie Spectre which premières tonight in London. It was the first ever Bond theme to reach #1 in the UK charts, and received mixed reviews in comparison to other Bond themes, many linked to the speed with which it was written. Sam Smith and his collaborator Jimmy Napes apparently wrote it in under half an hour and recorded a quick demo. They were so pleased with Smith's vocal they decided to use this demo vocal on the final release of the single.
Earlier this year I did a special James Bond week, so make sure you check out those pieces too. If it's your first time on the site, find out more about the 365 Songs project or see all of my October songs here.

Today's song is ABBA's Soldiers from The Visitors album, dating from 1981. It's one of only a few 3/4 ABBA songs, and it reflects on the fact that society does not recognise the work of the military who "write the songs […] and sing the songs that you and I won't sing".

The John Legend song – not the rather tricky Jon Schmidt piece which I'll need to practise a bit if I'm going to include that in my 365 songs! All of me (John Legend) was released in August 2013 and quickly reached #1 in the US and #2 in the UK.

8 Jan 2015 2015, Music	#jesuischarlie, F minor, French, January, Paris	1
Following yesterday's attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, I changed what I was planning to play and thought this would be more suitable. It was written for the 1951 film of the same name which showed various intertwining events in the daily lives of Parisians. The song was later recorded by Édith Piaf. I've always loved way the song goes from minor to major and back to minor again. It seems to be particularly appropriate today. This piece is dedicated to all those affected by the atrocity #jesuischarlie


Use your Google Ad Grant or lose it!
Remember that sinking feeling when your parents said they were stopping your pocket money? Okay, maybe it wasn't such big deal but replace Mum and Dad with Google and then turn off a bigger tap of $10,000 per a month that they were giving your charity in the form of a Google Ad Grant.
Well that was the case for small NGO, Team Kenya , but luckily for them Google has a friendly, two strike parenting policy, before permanently removing you from Google Ad Grants.
Google suspended Team Kenya's Google Ad Grant status because they hadn't logged in once a month and made at least one change to their account in 90 days. This is one of Google's official rules they are clear about, the others can be found here and are worth knowing.
Team Kenya had no idea their account had been closed and only found out by eventually logging in to be presented with "Your account isn't active - Your ads aren't running because we've disabled your account. Contact us." This can be easily & quickly fixable by contacting Google.
Google does send account notifications to a registered email address warning you that this will happen however it is often the case that the person who set the Google Ad Grant up, no longer works for the charity, so the warnings can go unnoticed.
The best way to stop this happening is to put a repeat reminder in your calendar to log in once a month and make at least one change to your account every 90 days or find someone who will manage it for you.
Up until cut off, Team Kenya had benefitted from $115,000 worth of free advertising with Google. Their adverts had attracted over 75,000 visitors to their website and been a steady source of people discovering Karibuni Cottages, which provide income for the charities projects.
In addition to these rules, Google have recently updated their eligibility guidelines. With these changes, Google Ad Grants became part of a larger program called Google for Nonprofits. To keep your Ad Grants account active, you need you to enrol in the Google for Nonprofits program before 31st March 2017. Those who need to do something about this will have received an email from Google.

Hospital's HIV/AIDS division marks 25th anniversary
by Michael Wood, BAR Contributor
Dr. Diane Havlir.
Twenty-five years ago, there was no drug treatment available for AIDS, and the cause wasn't even known. Dr. Diane Havlir started working at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center in the early 1980s, just after she had finished medical school.
In January 1983, SFGH became the first hospital in the country to start a program for people living with HIV/AIDS when Ward 86, the outpatient clinic, opened. The inpatient HIV unit, 5B, opened in June that same year.
"The AIDS epidemic took San Francisco by surprise," Havlir, now chief of the HIV/AIDS division at SFGH and a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, recently told the Bay Area Reporter in an interview. "... It took away many young, creative citizens all at once. It was a time of great despair as a physician."
However, she said, it was also a time of inspiration.
Since the emergence of AIDS, it's estimated that more than 32 million people worldwide have died from the disease, according to USAID. But the division at SFGH is marking World AIDS Day on Monday, December 1 by acknowledging 25 years of dedicated HIV clinical care to people living with HIV/AIDS.
Havlir said the division has been part of huge advances in treatment and research for HIV/AIDS, which she noted has gone from being a fatal disease to a chronic disease.
The UCSF HIV/AIDS Positive Health Program at SFGH, a collaboration between the city's public health department and UCSF, has led in clinical care, teaching, and research from the beginning of the epidemic.
"The San Francisco community can be proud of its pioneers in HIV care whose dedication, commitment and compassion prevailed in the face of adversity since the onset of the epidemic," Havlir said in a statement. Events at the hospital on December 1 are "a tribute not only to the remarkable contributions of hundreds of SFGH providers and staff, but to the city's courageous public health response and to its unparalleled volunteer and advocacy community."
The HIV clinic now provides primary medical services for 3,000 HIV-infected adolescents and adults in the city. Havlir said these include people who are often marginalized, such as people with substance abuse and mental health issues.
Havlir told the B.A.R. the division has contributed to major accomplishments in the fight against AIDS.
For example, researchers performed studies that helped lead to the development of the Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy cocktail. They've also made groundbreaking discoveries in the immunology of HIV, looking at what happens to people after they become infected.
The program has also identified other key areas, including the development of an HIV and aging clinic, and a multi-cultural patient education program.
The program is taking part in addressing the disease in other parts of the world, too, examining the intersection of HIV and diseases like tuberculosis and malaria. As part of an international program, doctors from Africa recently visited San Francisco, and division staff have also traveled to Africa.
But Havlir noted there are still struggles here in the city.
She said there's a risk of complacency, and housing is hard for many people living with AIDS to find as San Francisco becomes an increasingly expensive city in which to live.
While discussing the protests that have erupted after the passage of Prop 8, which eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry, Havlir said, "We need to be reminded how powerful activism is," and noted, "activism in San Francisco brought AIDS to the attention of policymakers."
She said more involvement in the work to defeat AIDS is welcome.
"Our program is only as strong as the community that surrounds it," Havlir said.
The division will hold an event to mark World AIDS Day December 1 from noon to 2 p.m. Mayor Gavin Newsom and Health Director Dr. Mitch Katz are among those who have been invited to speak. The speakers program is from noon to 12:30 p.m. at the front lawn of the main hospital at, 1001 Potrero Avenue.
From 12:45 to 2 p.m. there will be a provider and patient forum in Carr Auditorium on the first floor of Building 100 at the hospital.
Also from 12:45 to 2 p.m., there will be a clinic open house for the Positive Health Program at 995 Potrero Avenue (at 22nd Street), in Building 80 on the sixth floor.
For more information on the program, visit http://php.ucsf.edu.
This year is the 20th observance of World AIDS Day. Dr. Kevin Fenton, the openly gay director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that HIV remains a significant threat to the health and well being of multiple communities in the United States.
"Several U.S. populations bear the greatest burden of HIV," Fenton said in a statement. "The impact is most severe for gay and bisexual men, who account for approximately half of new infections and of those living with HIV."
He also noted that some minority communities are also disproportionately affected, particularly African Americans, who become infected at seven times the rate of whites, and Hispanics, at three times the rate of whites.
Around San Francisco, a variety of other events also will mark World AIDS Day.
AIDS grove
The National AIDS Memorial Grove's 15th annual World AIDS Day remembrance ceremony will be held December 1 from noon to 1 p.m. in Golden Gate Park.
This year's event marks the 27th year in the fight against AIDS and commemorating all those whose lives have been touched by the virus.
The theme, "Coming of Age with AIDS," recognizes that people of all ages are affected by HIV/AIDS, and the greatest risk for infection is among 18 to 26 year olds.
This year's guest speakers are members of the Stirling Family, four of five of whom are HIV-positive. The Stirlings will speak about their family's struggle with HIV/AIDS, their "coming out," and their adoption of an Ethiopian orphan who was also HIV-positive.
Referring to the Stirlings, Gina Gatta, 2008 World AIDS Day co-chair and grove board member, said in a statement, "The Stirlings' story is that of Ryan White's challenges times four. Their story is powerful and inspiring for anyone facing challenging health care issues."
White was diagnosed with AIDS at age 13 and gained international notoriety fighting for his right to attend school. He died in 1990.
In addition to Gatta, co-chairs this year include Thom Weyand, grove board member, and 13-year-old Annie Wilson, the first teenager to ever co-chair the memorial's World AIDS Day event. Don Jacobs, who has volunteered at the grove since 1991, is this year's recipient of the Grove Award for HIV service.
The ceremony will include a musical performance by the Hamlin School Choir, and visitors will be invited to the Circle of Friends, where the recently engraved names of those honored there will be read aloud.
Light refreshments will be served following the observance, which is free, open to the public, and will take place in a heated tent in the grove's meadow.
The grove was created by a group of San Franciscans devastated by feelings of loss, searching for a place to remember friends and family lost to AIDS. The nearly all-volunteer constructed, landscaped, and maintained grove was designated a national memorial in 1996.
The grove is located in the eastern end of Golden Gate Park at the intersection of Bowling Green and Middle Drive East, across from the tennis courts.

San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus
The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, the first chorus with the word "gay" in its name, will take center-stage at Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall on December 1, in celebration of its 30th anniversary and to mark World AIDS Day.
The chorus program will feature work by award-winning Broadway composer Steve Schalchlin, who has written New World Waking! Songs on the Road to Peace - inspired by John Lennon's piano and created especially for the occasion.
Grammy winner Jennifer Holliday will join the chorus to sing the suite's rousing finale, "My Rising Up."
Artistic director and conductor Kathleen McGuire said in a statement, "New World Waking! is truly a piece for our time and captures, in music, stories of incredible power, pathos and hope."
In 13 emotional, genre-transcending songs, New World Waking! explores violence in the community and in the world and celebrates the individuals who stand up to it and change the world in the process. The Community Women's Orchestra provides full accompaniment.
Two songs tell the true stories of ordinary mothers who fought against the homophobia their gay sons faced and both women will be in attendance.
A special arrangement of "Guardian Angels" sung with Kim Kuzma and dedicated to the caretakers of those who struggle with HIV is the centerpiece of a tribute, introduced by three-time Academy Award nominee Piper Laurie.
The concert will conclude with an upbeat selection of holiday music, reflecting the diverse traditions of the Bay Area.
Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall is located at 201 Van Ness Avenue (at Grove Street).
Tickets for the event start at $20 and are available from the community box office at the LGBT Community Center (1800 Market Street, San Francisco), by phone at (415) 865-2787, or online at www.sfgmc.org.
A portion of all proceeds will assist HIV/AIDS charities Under One Roof, Meals of Marin, and the Positive Resource Center.
Shanti will be marking World AIDS Day and kicking off its 35th anniversary on December 1 at 111 Minna Gallery.
Founded in 1974, Shanti later became the first community-based agency in the United States to serve people with HIV/AIDS.
The organization works to enhance the quality of life, health, and well-being of people living with breast cancer and HIV/AIDS and works with organizations nationwide through its training and consultation programs.
Dr. Lisa Calpaldini and openly gay Supervisor Bevan Dufty will be honored for their work advocating for and serving people living with HIV/AIDS. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will be on hand to offer a blessing.
Visual art from Bay Area artists and Shanti clients will be available for viewing and purchase during a silent auction.
There will be a cash bar. Appetizers and non-alcoholic refreshments will be provided. Each guest will receive a gift bag.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
The event runs from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 111 Minna Street in San Francisco. A minimum donation of $35 is suggested. Tickets can be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/49069. For more information about Shanti, visit www.shanti.org.
In conjunction with Shanti, the LGBT Community Center will host a photo exhibit commemorating World AIDS Day. An opening reception takes place Tuesday, December 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the center, 1800 Market Street in San Francisco.
The exhibit, "A Look at LIFE," was created by participants in Shanti's Learning Immune Function Enhancement program, who use images and text of their own conception to examine life issues that have affected their health and well-being as people living with AIDS.
The exhibit goes up Monday and will be on display through January 15.

IDP delivers data-driven marketing solutions like market basket analysis, with a focus on data integration, 'invasive' data management and deep-dive data mining.
Market basket analysis measures the strength of association between complementary products purchased together. Market basket reveals how customers respond to promotions, notably price changes on related items. It's not just about what products sell, but what they're selling with. And how profitable they are when sold in combinations.
Market basket analysis transforms customer behaviors into actionable insights. Metrics such as support, confidence and lift help retailers determine product placement and promotion optimization. These metrics empower marketers to deploy tactics around assortment, media views and rewards. Marketers capitalize on these data-driven insights to anticipate behaviors, engage customers, reward loyalty and retain loyal customers longer.
By examining market basket affinities along with product promotions, marketers move beyond just analyzing sales. They learn how and why customers buy particular product mixes.
Consumers are unforgiving of poorly targeted, one-size fits-all marketing. They expect marketers to know what they want next. And the tempo by which marketers must respond to customers is dizzying. Marketers today must quickly engage and reward customers with compelling offers before check-out.
Market basket analysis is not rocket science. But, the data management and data mining are complex and are beyond the abilities of all reporting tools and most business analysts. Market basket analysis requires transaction detail over a time period long enough to consider trends, and includes complex joins with customer and product data.
With increased data volumes, data complexities and data velocities, marketers are sprinting to anticipate customer needs. Many CMOs are frustrated by the latency of in-house analytics and by the efforts required to access and manage data. Plus, in-house reporting tools don't meet today's deep-dive requirements.
Effective use of customer data is a competitive weapon. And the foundation to actionable market basket analysis is accurate supporting data.
At IDP, we understand that your data is challenging and that you have limited resources.
We remove the requirement that business analysts manage large data volumes or complex data structures — bridging the gap between data management and analytics. So analysts focus, not on data, but on making recommendations from the analytics.
At IDP, we manage large data volumes with complex structures. We integrate disparate data sources and build rock-solid analytical data sets. And we always collaborate with marketing to generate analytics that produce marketable results.
When the supporting data is rock solid, then Market Basket Analysis becomes much, much easier!

Tōdai-ji Temple
ROUGHGUIDES.COM / ASIA / JAPAN / NARA / TODAI-JI
For many people Nara is synonymous with Tōdai-ji (東大寺). This great temple was founded in 745 by Emperor Shōmu, ostensibly to ward off the terrible epidemics that regularly swept the nation, but also as a means of cementing imperial power. In doing so he nearly bankrupted his young nation, but the political message came across loud and clear; soon an extensive network of sub-temples spread throughout the provinces, where they played an important role in local administration. It took more than fifteen years to complete Tōdai-ji, which isn't surprising when you learn that the main hall is still the world's largest wooden building. Even so, the present structure (last rebuilt in 1709) is only two-thirds the size of the original. Avoid visiting Tōdai-ji at weekends, especially during the spring and autumn, the two peak times for visiting Nara, when the temple is overrun with thousands of tourists and school groups.
The Daibutsu-den
The main entrance to Tōdai-ji lies through the suitably impressive Nandai-mon (南大門), or Great Southern Gate. Rebuilt in the thirteenth century, it shelters two wonderfully expressive guardian gods (Niō), each over 7m tall. Beyond, you begin to see the horned, sweeping roof of the Daibutsu-den, the Great Buddha Hall (大仏殿), which houses Japan's largest bronze statue. A 15m-tall blackened figure on a lotus throne, the great Buddha (Daibutsu) seems to strain at the very walls of the building. It depicts Rushana (later known as Dainichi Nyorai), the Cosmic Buddha who presides over all levels of the Buddhist universe, and was a phenomenal achievement for the time. Not surprisingly, several attempts at casting the Buddha failed, but finally in 752 the gilded statue was officially dedicated by symbolically "opening" its eyes. To achieve this, an Indian priest stood on a special platform and "painted" the eyes with a huge brush, from which coloured strings trailed down to the assembled dignitaries, enabling them to participate in the ceremony. Not only were there hundreds of local monks present, but also ambassadors from China, India and further afield, bearing an amazing array of gifts, many of which have been preserved in the Shōsō-in treasury – as has the original paintbrush.
The Buddha has had a rough time of it since then. As early as the ninth century an earthquake toppled his head, then it and his right hand melted in a fire in 1180 and again in 1567. As a result, only tiny fragments of the original statue remain intact, the rest being made up of patchwork parts put together over the centuries. Nonetheless, the remodelled giant is definitely large, and it's hard not to be impressed by the technological triumph involved in re-creating it. As you walk round the hall, don't be surprised to see people trying to squeeze through a hole in one of the rear supporting pillars – success apparently reserves you a corner of paradise.
The Kaidan-in
Walk west from the Daibutsu-den compound and you'll find the more modest Kaidan-in (戒壇院), which was established in 754 as Japan's first, and foremost, ordination hall. It was founded by a Chinese high priest, Ganjin, who Emperor Shōmu hoped would instil some discipline into the rapidly expanding Buddhist priesthood. He had to be patient, however; poor Ganjin's ship took six attempts to arrive here, by which time the priest was 67 years old and completely blind. His ordination hall was rebuilt in the Edo period, but the statues inside include eighth-century representations of the Four Heavenly Kings (Shi-Tennō), crafted in clay.

Where did I go hiking in Ireland in 2013?
I thought it might be worth doing a photo review of the year, month by month, to pick out some of my highlights.
2013 was a year of unusual weather, a late and exceptionally cold winter that ran into April, a warm and balmy summer, and a very dry autumn. This is reflected in the images I have picked out to illustrate the hiking year.
Winter really only got going in January, and it certainly made up for lost time, with heavy falls of snow over much of the uplands. We stayed fairly close to Dublin, hiking mostly in the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains, and this shot was taken on the way to Fairy Castle in the Dublin Mountains.
There was a bit of a lull in the cold weather in February, and we headed to Connemara for a few days, staying in the picturesque, but now hibernating, village of Clifden. In good weather the mountains of Connemara can be a delight, but we had a very mixed bag of sunshine, showers and gales.
This is Loch Bhaile na hinse from the lower slopes of Ben Lettery, on one of the better days.
The summit cairn marking a frozen, and eerie place on this occasion.
The cold weather persisted through April, there were more trips into the Wicklow Mountains and a visit to the Cooley Mountains on the northeastern coast of Ireland. This is a land of legends, of sleeping giants and ancient battles, the hills often shrouded in cloud.
This picture is of Slieve Foy, the high point of these hills, looking cold and sullen under a blanket of icy mist.
The weather broke, and it began to get warmer, I went to Scotland for two weeks, but also got a chance to get some air and great views nearer to home, including Mullaghcleevaun, in the Wicklows, this shot taken looking west from the summit, over Poulaphouca reservoir.
Burren in Bloom is a great celebration of the wonderful flora of that very special place, a stark limestone landscape close to the Atlantic Ocean, it takes place in May, when the flowers are at their best. We went in mid June, on a very hot weekend, and were not disappointed, the late winter had delayed the flowering and our visit coincided with a riot of colour and rich beauty.
But which one of the wonderful plants to include? I have chosen the bright and ever present Mountain Avens, a jewel of the Burren.
The weather continued to stay warm, and predominantly dry, this allowed for several pleasant walks in the mountains near Dublin. This lovely green scene is of the Glendasan river near Glendalough, in the Wicklow Mountains.
ntains of Connemara, and so I returned on a sunny bank holiday weekend with a couple of friends to climb Carrot Ridge on Bencorr, in the Twelve Bens.
We also had a wonderful day meandering along the ridge of the Maumturks and this photo is of Letterbreckaun taken from Knocknahillion, which highlights the terrain of the area well.
The massive and imposing granite tors of the Mourne Mountains are an iconic feature of the Irish landscape, much loved and much hiked.
We found ourselves there on a chilly but sunny day to climb Slieve Binnian and walk the Devil's Coach Road north. This is a rugged footpath rather than a road, which rises and falls over several of the broad ridged summits of the Mournes.
This view is of Ben Crom and Slieve Bearnagh, taken from the 'road'.
On the holiday weekend, with a very unpromising weather forecast, we headed to the Dingle peninsular on the exposed southwest coast for three days. The peninsular is a narrow strip of mountainous land that juts out into the sea that has at its end, the symbolic peak of Brandon Mountain, a pilgrimage route for many centuries.
We climbed the 952 metre Brandon Mountain on a blustery, wet and cloudy day, and on the following day, in even windier conditions, we hiked the nearby Beenoskee.
This is Brandon Peak, taken from the slopes of Brandon Mountain in a brief break in the cloud cover.
Back in the Cooley mountains, in complete contrast to our visit in April, we climbed Slieve Foy on a crisp, cool and clear day. We had sweeping views over Carlingford Lough to the Mourne Mountains and even as far as the Isle of Man, out in the Irish Sea.
It is often too cloudy for good views, but we saw only its kinder face, looking from the summit of Slieve Foy north to the Mourne Mountains.
So, we have come to the end of another year, and we finish it on Blackstairs Mountain, at 735 metres the second highest point on a narrow ridge of hills in County Carlow, in the southeast of Ireland.
The day was misty, windy and wet, not unsurprising for December, and the views nonexistent.
Indeed, it was difficult to see the person walking ahead of you, as you can see for yourselves.
I am looking forward to more exploring, climbing, trekking, camping and hiking in 2014, and hope that you are too.
Take care and Happy Christmas.

Област Бета или Бета регио () је једна од 22 области (-{Regio}-) на површини планете Венере. Налази се на западној хемисфери, на координатама 25,3° северно и 77,2° западно (сходно планетоцентричном координатном систему +Е 0-360). Област има пречник од 2.869 км.

Једна од првих је то рељефних формација овог типа откривена на Венери, па је због тога названа по другом слову грчког алфабета. Открио ју је 1964. астроном Дик Голдстајн. Њено име потврдила је Међународна астрономска унија 1979. године, и један је од три изузетка у вези са номенклатуром објеката на Венери према којој се сви површински облици рељефа на овој планети именују према женским епонимима (изузеци су још Алфа регио и Максвел монтес).

Област је позната по бројним вулканским планинама које се издижу са ње, а међусобно раздојене дубоким раседима (што је доказ интензивне сеизмичке активности). У јужном делу области налази се штитасти вулкан Теја монс, док је на северу вулканска купа Реа монс.

Бета регио представља вулканску висораван која се пружа правцем север-југ дужином до 3.000 км. У централном делу издиже се и до релативне висине од преко 5.000 метара.

Those planning on buying an AppleCare or AppleCare+ extended coverage via Best Buy will be permitted to receive service directly at Best Buy, or at one of Apple's retail stores.
The extended AppleCare+ warranty for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch purchased through Best Buy will reportedly cover the accessories in the box and include accidental damage coverage for the same service fees charged by Apple. In addition, Best Buy's standard warranty will be also included.
"Best Buy will continue to offer revamped Geek Squad warranty plans for non-Apple products, including Geek Squad Protect & Support, Protect & Support Plus, 24/7 Support and Product Replacement," wrote MacRumors.
Now, Apple should announce new iPhones at a media event on September 9.
The new hardware should go on sale ten days later, meaning the AppleCare+ premium coverage for Apple's mobile devices should be available in time for the launch of so-called 'iPhone 6s' and 'iPhone 6s Plus'.

Those who have dreamed of seeing Michael Myers square off against Jason Voorhees finally get their wish in the form of a new fan film that came online a few weeks ago, featuring the showdown between the slasher icons.
Jason vs. Michael is directed by Trent Duncan, and both killers look great throughout the 9-minute running time, but my favorite part is the delightfully unexpected use of the Silver Shamrock theme song from Halloween III.
As for who "wins" the fight, you'll have to watch the short film to find out, but feel free to give us your opinion of how this clash of titans would go in the comments!

Recording Editorial History
When lies became another face of truth
Recording Editorial History 7/19/2018–early evening
July 19, 2018 Asphlex--
I want to talk about something else, away from politics, away from debates in the public sphere. There are other interests people have–that I have and that plenty of people I know share and they don't really care about Trump or Obama or liberals and conservatives or the threats of fascism, socialism and all the bile spat out upon the world by organized religions and social movements.
Now to discredit myself from the outset I want to warn you that I actually have a Masters Degree in English–specifically in 19th and 20th century American literature with a heavy emphasis on satire. And so I am mostly steeped theoretically in the worlds of Twain and Melville and Poe. I know all of Hawthorne (another horror writer–you'll get the theme). I wasted months studying Ernest Hemingway, who's life is far more interesting than his work. I went out of my way to read the complete body of work by literary gems like H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce and on and on and on among the generally considered American masters of way back in time.
But the one thing that I noticed as I was finishing up my classes was that very little of the books and stories we were assigned were written much past world war two, other than maybe a little Samuel Beckett and a whole fuckload of pompous shitheads filled with intellectual wanderlust as they wrote everything they thought about style and form and metaphor and literary technique in their five hundred plus page manuals on how to interpret literature. They rarely focused on the story itself–on plot, unless to make a historical parallel to events replicated from the real world. This did not mean that any of the stories were bad (only a few of them were), but they all more or less shared the same outlook and by the end of my sixth year taking these classes (from undergraduate until the end of my formal education), I was pretty burned out on the concepts of nativism and realism and political awareness and the nature of the radical novel.
So when I left college I tried to resume my tastes from before I ever went away. I was weened on crime books, reading Hammett and Chandler and Ross and John MacDonald religiously in the years before high school. Of course, like so many other young boys in the 1980s, I was also led into the horror genre, which of course is far closer to the crime field than non-aficionados of one or the other might realize.
With horror I started, of course, with Stephen King and Peter Straub and Robert R. McCammon–the bestselling scary story writers of the time. There were plenty of others–Charles Grant, Clive Barker (more on him, too, shortly), my discoveries of Robert Bloch and William Peter Blatty (I had seen The Exorcist long before I ever read the book) and Richard Matheson, who is a personal favorite of mine to this day. There are of course hundreds more authors I could name, but I do not wish this to turn into one of those 'greatest hits' essays with a bibliography filled with 'for more on the subject, read:' stamped for several paragraphs at the end.
I first became a serious fan of horror movies in 1981 when I was nine years old. Of course that was the year of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I loved. But it was not my favorite film of the year. No, one that had a far more serious impact on me and at least helped to give me the instincts that have turned me into the person I am today, was above and beyond, for me at the time, the greatest movie I had ever seen. For some reason my mother took her young son to see David Cronenberg's Scanners, the perfect film for a comic-book reading kid like me to explore the darker side of superpowers (and also watch a guy's head blow up and the ruined, burned, sandy corpse of one of the main characters at the end). But I loved it. My mother started out worried when she realized, I guess, just how violent the movie was (and how fucking horrifying the score to that film is!), but then she saw me with such an enraptured look on my face, that edge of the seat excitement that tells you that you're having a great time watching other people do horrible things. And from that point forward nothing in the realm of entertainment was off limits to me (other, I guess, than porn, but I was nine years old and there was no internet yet. Where was I going to find porn other than in some underwear drawer or buried under a mound of clothes in one of my parents' closets?)
The following year saw me race out to see Poltrigiest, and since VCRs were then coming into vogue and we had a video store very close to my childhood home, I would furiously and regularly go out to get horror movies (after my parents signed off that it was okay to let me rent 'R'). Many of these were trite shit, quickly slapped together nonsense like The Boogyman (a tame rip-off of Halloween), and strange, esoteric fare, like Q and Terror Train, but I also discovered An American Werewolf in London and The Shining and The Evil Dead. I got to see in the theater films like Creepshow and John Carpenter's remake of The Thing and Cronenberg's next film, Videodrome. It was an early heaven for a young kid obsessed with ideas of hell.
The literature for me took a turn for the more complicated (Joseph Conrad and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, in particular) but still seemed to maintain the designation of 'horror story' for me, even through religious parables. Like Clive Barker has said, the bible is possibly the most frightening book ever written. Clive Barker, by the way, then arriving on the scene, was up until the late 1980s the most violent writer I had ever read. He was replaced by James Ellroy and Cormac McCarthy in the few coming years before Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho seemed to initiate the era of feelings versus art.
But they were all horror stories. The movies I saw, I turned them over in my mind and tried to see what scared me about them. Ghandi was about the terror of nobility being wiped from the world; Terms of Endearment was about early death and Amadeus, well, Amadeus actually is a horror story of envy and madness by design.
Of course as I grew older and relived some of my favorites from the past I noticed that I had become somewhat desensitized. Where once Halloween III: The Season of the Witch scared the fuck out of me, now I watched and reacted as most people did in its day: what a stupid piece of shit that was. I needed a new fix. I needed to see something more. I needed to get myself back into those X-rated rooms on the other side of the porn closet where unrated gore flicks were hidden. It was time for I Spit on Your Grave and Cannibal Holocaust and Re-Animator, From Beyond, Bad Taste, eventually more of Peter Jackson's early films: Dead/Alive and the absolutely horrifying puppet show Meet the Feebles.
I hunted down Hershel Gordon Lewis (a terrible director and writer who did, however, know how to pile on the blood) and Dario Argento and every Italian zombie movie I could find. I had an imagination filled with bloodshed and the first works I was writing back then were intentionally violent, trying my hardest to outdo the material I was a fan of.
After this came the pseudo-documentaries Faces of Death, which were more like segments cut out of Ripley's Believe It or Not because of television standards. You see people eating monkey brains after cracking the animal's skull open and plenty of other unpleasant things that I never liked because I love animals too much. But this crap still served as the background noise along with 80s Heavy Metal at drunken and stoned parties we fifteen and sixteen yearolds would have when our parents went out of town.
But I stayed with this interest. And all the while that I was discovering Don Delillo and Jose Saramago, at a time I was obsessing over the films of Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa and forcing myself to read every single play of William Shakespeare's, there was still a yearning for splatter. I would seek out increasingly distant material that I could not find in a bookstore or library (these were still the days before Amazon). They were only in mail-away catalogs, where you had every bit the chance of ordering The Turner Diaries or Physical Interrogations Techniques as you did of finding some early Joe Lansdale or Edward Lee or (and this is a shout-out) Wayne Allen Sallee's "Rapid Transit" trilogy of short stories. But I did find these things and all I wanted was more.
By the 1990s I was in college, learning the hoity toity and beginning to understand the idea of literary art, kind of like Graham Greene's distinction in his works between 'novels' and 'entertainments.' But this still seemed too elitist to me. I listened to these pretentious fucking assholes in my classes talk about horror as though it were dog shit on the bottom of their shoes. They would triumphantly claim with maximum condescension that they had "never read a book by that piece of shit Stephen King." And if one of the more timid students spoke up in King's defense, almost whispering praise for The Shining and The Stand, they would be laughed at. I was so annoyed with these fuckers that I penned the following poem in a creative writing class filled with terrible poets writing of the most sincere arrogance. This was mine, and I read this aloud to the class:
"Around Lunch, On the Way, Happy Birthday"
So I'm fucking corpses the other day
It don't matter, cemetery's on the way
But I gotta make it, gotta find some meat
'Cause little Jesse needs a treat
But the temptation hits me all at once
Rotting bodies just around lunch
Slowly I pull my cock from the gash
And stick my hand into the slash
I pull out intestines, maggots too
I lap them up, that's what I do
The taste is so scrumptious, I try some more
I even pop someone's herpes sore
So what if I get it, I don't give a fuck
All I ask of Jesse is one good suck
Well, I've gotta be on my way
Jesse's turning twelve, today's her birthday.
This was not received well. Two people stormed out of the class after the first line. But you know what the worst thing about their bashing me was (the best was their horrified looks)? It was the fact that they held their primary criticisms for my free use of slang and abbreviations. Someone actually hissed at me, "Doesn't matter! Doesn't Matter!"
But I was an arrogant motherfucker too and really didn't care what any of them thought of me. I asked, "Is that really your chief problem, the troubled grammar? I mean, the guy telling to story is fucking corpses and feeding human flesh to his twelve year old girlfriend. I figured that he doesn't have the most perfect English."
Someone aloofly said to this, "English matters," with a hopeful smile towards the professor, who literally had nothing to say.
Later I tried to bring this faith in horror into an academic setting, writing a very long paper with video components on the "Splatterpunk" style of horror that most horror writers rejected being labelled under. I started with a quote, once again referencing Clive Barker. In defining himself he said, "I am not writing horror or making horror movies to produce a mild frisson which can be shrugged off, so people can move on to make their cocoon and go to bed. I am writing horror and making horror movies to genuinely disturb people."
To me this was and remains a very profound goal. Because horror stories, deep down, are not just about monsters and demons and psychopaths. No, they are a high point of literature, the type that gets closest to the truth about humanity. If you choose to strip away the supernatural magic that many horror stories employ, you still have a tale of a vampire as an unrestrained urge, still the wolf man with all social order thrown away and you still have zombies commenting on the bleak realities of humanity, that we are all here terminally from the moment of birth, and then we go on to eat, shit, and rot. Zombies, so popular today, have always been a powerful symbol of the hopelessness of mankind. Even comedic zombie films touch on this aspect, because the fate of life on earth will always end with failure.
In the early 1990s I was hired to write several comic book scripts by a man named Hart D. Fisher, then publisher and most frequent writer for the underground comic book company Boneyard Press. Hart is a marvelous self-promoter with a fascinating life history and I do not feel I can possibly capture the genuinely horrifying elements of his life without mentioning also his honest charm and sincere good nature. But he is much more equipped to speak about himself, so I want to offer you something of his: http://www.americanhorrors.com/. This is a streaming, Roku 24-hour graphic horror film channel that he founded with his wife Waka, that shows you many older and less well know horror films, uncut, and with a boisterous joy in its celebration that might make it hard for the snobs to not become fans. They also produce original content and the whole experience is a blast.
I dedicate this essay to Hart, because he doesn't like my political shit. I could no doubt go on and on and on and on about all things horror and all the hideous graphic violence that has gone before he and I and the young, devious minds of today, but this is already by far the longest of my pieces here. I just wanted to offer a personal appreciation of the horror genre. Despite my frequently serious high art tastes, sometimes nothing beats disembowelment mixed with cum.

Q: Apache2 + mod_auth_kerb + active directory will not authenticate group permissions I have an apache2 server setup under ubuntu to authenticate against an Active Directory Domain Controller. It works fine with an .htaccess file in the folder I want to protect with a line like
require valid-user

My problem is I would like to authenticate with group permissions instead. So if I am authenticated on a domain (as matt for example) and I try to access a folder. I should be able to put
require group my_group@my.domain

and it should check to see if the user matt is a member of the my_group active directory group. Am I wrong in thinking this or is it not possible for mod_auth_kerb to do this?

A: It is not possible for mod_auth_kerb to do this because it is impossible for Kerberos itself to do this. Kerberos is explicitly designed as a authentication, but not authorization, system. That means it does not have groups at all, it just makes sure a person is who they say they are.
Active Directory uses LDAP to store and represent group membership. You could use that to make sure the user you have authenticated with Kerberos is a member of a specific group.

Russia, Maduro's main ally and one of its biggest creditors along with China, on the weekend sent 100 troops and military equipment aboard two flights to Caracas.
Caracas: President Nicolas Maduro blamed "terrorists" for a new, near-nationwide blackout that gripped Venezuela Tuesday, two weeks after a similar outage caused deaths and chaos. In a statement on Twitter, Maduro said a deliberately set "large-scale fire" on Monday hit facilities around the Guri hydroelectric plant in the south of the country that supplies power to 80 percent of Venezuela's 30 million inhabitants.
"Criminal hands" then knocked out transformers as repairs were going on, he said, alleging the "sly terrorist attacks" had the goal of "destabilizing" the country. His communication minister, Jorge Rodriguez, tweeted images of electrical installations consumed by flames.
Vice President Delcy Rodriguez tweeted that a 24-hour closure of schools and workplaces to take a load off the grid would be extended another 24 hours to late Wednesday, "based on the scale of the damage."
On Tuesday, Caracas and other cities were paralyzed once more. Public transport and water supplies were disrupted. Buildings without generators -- including many hospitals -- were plunged into gloom.
Junior Veliz, an unemployed man standing outside a Caracas hospital, told AFP that his newborn daughter "died because (the hospital) didn't have heating at the time the power went out -- she died of respiratory arrest when the power went out." Nearby, a patient with renal failure, Beatriz Reyes, said "we're waiting for the electricity to come back so they can give us dialysis."
Streets in the capital were largely empty. Shops were shuttered. "It's a real catastrophe, a humanitarian crisis," said Noe de Souza, the 36-year-old owner of one of the rare bakeries still open. NetBlocks, an organization that monitors the internet, said it had detected a "severe impact" to the telecoms network across 18 of Venezuela's 23 states.
In the last blackout, Maduro also had said the Guri plant was targeted. Then, he accused the United States of launching a "cybernetic" attack against it, and the opposition of being behind acts of "sabotage." He promised to protect infrastructure with a specially created military unit.
Analysts said that while a US attack was possible it was unlikely, adding that years of underinvestment, poor management and corruption was the more likely culprits. This time, Maduro's government again pointed the finger at the opposition.
But opposition leader Juan Guaido -- recognized as Venezuela's interim president by the US and its allies -- rejected that as unbelievable. "They are not giving any sensible, credible explanation," he said. "When it's not a 'cyberattack' or an 'electromagnetic pulse' it's 'sabotage,' despite them militarizing more and more the electricity stations."
He said he had information from workers in the state electricity company Corpoelec that some transformers had overloaded. In the streets, Venezuelans appeared midway between rage and resignation.
"This is too much," said Leo, a 19-year-old employee in a Caracas restaurant that was forced to close as its fridges warmed up. "The meat and chicken -- all the food is rotting. It's a total loss."
While some Venezuelans expressed hope that US backing for Guaido might bring change, a geopolitical tussle over impoverished but oil-rich Venezuela suggested it would not come quickly.
Russia, Maduro's main ally and one of its biggest creditors along with China, on the weekend sent 100 troops and military equipment aboard two flights to Caracas. Moscow said it was done in "full respect for (Venezuela's) legal norms" and to head off what it described as a US-organized "coup."
Washington has hit back, warning that it would not "stand idly by as Russia exacerbates tensions in Venezuela." Guaido, addressing the opposition-run National Assembly, said: "It seems (Maduro's government) doesn't trust its own troops, because it is importing others... once again violating the constitution."


Being Filipino to me means the best food in the world and karaoke.
One day I want a family. I want children and to be able to give them a life that I never had growing up. I want to help youth that are given up on which are the homeless and juvenile community. That is my motivation.
Respect and loyalty has always been the values I had growing up that I will never let go. Respect comes in a variety of ways, but respect is a given. Loyalty is what makes one's life whole. Why keep fakes around?
My greatest leadership trait is that I'm not afraid to be different or of hard conversations. I take pride in what I believe in and think everyone should take pride in their authenticity.

ERMINIA NOCERA vs. NICHOLAS DEFEO & another.
Decree affirmed with costs of appeal. The plaintiff is the owner of a parcel of real estate on Woodlawn Street, Everett, which adjoins a lot owned by the defendants. There is a two family house on each lot. The plaintiff acquired her property in 1929 and has lived in it with her family continuously since 1932. The distance between the houses is twelve feet eight inches and the boundary line is exactly in the center. In June, 1956, the defendants erected a fence along the boundary line and the plaintiff, claiming an easement by prescription over the defendants' land, brought this bill to prevent interference with the asserted easement. The judge found that for more than twenty years the plaintiff and members of her family and tenants have used the strip between the two houses as a driveway to drive automobiles in and out of garages in the rear of the plaintiff's property; and that this use was "uninterrupted, open, notorious and adverse." A decree was entered adjudging that the plaintiff had an easement by prescription over a strip six feet four inches wide on the defendants' property and the defendants were ordered to remove so much of the fence as would give the plaintiff and her tenants unobstructed ingress and egress to and from the garages in the rear. The defendants appealed. The case comes here with a report of the evidence. There was no error. The findings of the judge support the decree and these findings in turn were supported by the evidence.
RICHARD M. NICHOLS & another vs. MARTHA R. SULLIVAN & others.
Order denying jury issues affirmed. The expected testimony of psychiatrists who had not seen the decedent was at best subject to the infirmity of being based on only a portion of the evidence. Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Co. v. Blaisdell, 333 Mass. 51, 57. The judge could rightly conclude that the proposed testimony for the contestants, including that of actions tending to show weakening of body and mind, was of substantially
less weight than the statements of expected testimony of attending physicians and the decedent's attorneys which would support a finding of testamentary capacity at the times when the will and two codicils were executed. See O'Brien v. Collins, 315 Mass. 429, 436. We discern no error in the application of the well known principles. See Clark v. McNeil, 246 Mass. 250, 254-255; Taylor v. Callahan, 265 Mass. 582.

The deployment of component oriented software approaches gains increasing importance in the computational sciences. Not only the promised increase of reuse makes components attractive, but also the possibilities of integrating different stand-alone programs into a distributed application. Middleware platforms facilitate the development of distributed applications by providing services and infrastructure. Component developers can thus benefit from a common standard to shape components towards and application designers from using pre-fabricated software components and shared platform services. Although such platforms claim to achieve fast and flexible development of distributed systems, they fall short in key requirements to reliability and interoperability in loosely coupled distributed systems. For example, many interoperability errors remain undetected during development and the adaptation and integration of of third-party components still requires major effort and cost. Partly this problem can be alleviated by the use of formal approaches to automatic interoperability checks and component adaptation. Our Reliable Architecture Description Language (RADL) is aimed at precisely this problem. In this paper we present key aspects of RADL used to specify component-based, compositional views of distributed applications. RADL involves a rich component model, enabling protocol information to be contained in interfaces. We focus on protocol-based notions of interoperability and adaptation, important for the construction of distributed systems with loosely coupled components.

Cancer is a poverty issue. Poor people are more likely to die from cancer, and a cancer diagnosis can push households into poverty. Cancer prevention interventions, such as tobacco taxes and HPV vaccinations, are pro-poor, providing relatively larger benefits to low-income households.
Cancer is a major cause of premature death in LMICs, and its significance will undoubtedly grow as countries experience epidemiological and demographic transitions.
Excise taxes on tobacco ($1-$150/DALY averted) and hepatitis B vaccination (<$100/DALY averted) are the most cost effective interventions against cancer.
The DCP3 essential package of cost-effective and feasible interventions would, if fully implemented, cost an additional $20 billion per year, or 3 percent of total public spending on health in LMICs; 2.6 percent in upper-middle-income countries (UMICs); and 5 percent in lower-middle-income countries; but 13 percent in low-income countries (LICs).

Franczkowski Addresses Attendees at the 10th Annual Polar Plunge Cool Schools Challenge
by MSDE DEI/SES // January 9, 2019
Category // Division Spotlight
Resource Type // Article
An unusually rainy, windy January day did nothing to deter young Polar Plunge-goers at the 2019 Maryland State Police Polar Plunge Cool Schools Challenge, held at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis, Maryland.
On Thursday, January 24th, students from across Maryland braved the cold Bay in support of Special Olympics Maryland. Assistant State Superintendent Marcella Franczkowski, representing the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Division of Early Intervention and Special Education Services, addressed the attendees at the event.
Marcella praised the challenge as an exemplary opportunity open without reservation to, and ably providing assistance for, all students. "It's a very special day, because what I see here when I come is students with intellectual disabilities, with their teachers, their coaches, their support systems, where everybody is the same — and where all opportunities are realized, and disability is not the identifier. The work of everyone here, making sure that all of our students are meaningfully engaged in their community, are respected members of their communities… it's not just being included, but it's having access to an opportunity that will produce outcomes."
A network of tents protected students from the weather as, in shifts, schools made their way down the beach to take the plunge. Music blared and video projections dotted the central hub, with plenty of food and drink available from trucks and catered by sponsors. The Maryland State Police made their protective presence felt with plenty of security and lifeguards as safety divers formed a line chest-deep into a designated area of surf for student safety and boats drifted up and down the shoreline behind. Katy Marchman, who normally travels with aid of a wheelchair, asked her mother Kimberly for assistance in getting into the waves. Paul Miller from MSDE volunteered and helped Kimberly move Katy to the waterline, where mother and daughter strode into the waves with no fear.
"The work of Special Olympics Maryland has opened a world of opportunity, acceptance and meaningful inclusion not limited by disability," Marcella said, discussing the Maryland State Department's 12-year partnership with Special Olympics Maryland. "It's where all truly means all, where every person is valued for who they are, for their personal skills and talents."
Marcella said the Division of Early Intervention and Special Education Services put words into action not only through their donation to Special Olympics Maryland, but also through division team members who volunteered to join in the challenge. And despite the driving rain, Marcella marched onto the beach ready with towels for MSDE members Sherea Makle, Lisa Sparr and Paul Miller who plunged — several times — into the bracing winter waves.

Former FBI director Robert S. Mueller III will investigate the NFL's handling of the Ray Rice situation, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. The investigation will be independent, overseen by two owners not directly involved in the Rice incident, John Mara (owner of the New York Giants) and Art Rooney (owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.) Mueller's findings will be presented as a public report.
Earlier this evening, the Associated Press revealed that a law enforcement official sent the full video of Ray Rice's assault on Janay Palmer to an NFL executive in April. The official presented a voicemail from an NFL employee acknowledging that the tape was received, but heard nothing further from the NFL after that time. Rice was originally suspended for two games, and when the full tape surfaced earlier this week, he wasterminated from the Ravens and suspended indefinitely from the NFL.

Largo, FL – December 26, 2018 – An exciting new product is about to enter the marketplace. The "Aspirin Life Saver" (ALS) was developed to hold an aspirin and other important medications so a person will always have them at hand. This unique pill container on a keychain may possibly save your life or that of others.
Tom Gohn has spent over a year creating this product after suffering a massive heart attack that could have claimed his life. If it weren't for an aspirin under his tongue and CPR, he may have died. You can read his story on the ALS website, www.alsaver.com.
A GoFundMe campaign is in place to offer businesses and individuals an opportunity to invest in the Aspirin Life Saver. It makes for a great corporate giveaway or may be sold in retail locations. There is an area on the container that is left blank for a company's logo. We would love your support to help save lives.


The Kyrgyzstan emergencies ministry says a U.S. Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, used to refuel military aircraft, has crashed near an American air base in the country.
The Associated Press reports the plane went down Friday afternoon about 100 miles west of the re-named U.S. air base now called the Transit Center at Manas.
Spencer Ackerman from Wired tweeted that three crew members were aboard the craft, but official confirmation through the Air Force has yet to be released.
The base name was changed after a series of controversies local, as well as regional pressures to close it down, were resolved in 2010.
Regional official, Kuralbek Khamaliyev, told the AP the tanker broke into three pieces after crashing in a deserted portion of land near the village of Chaldovar.
The KC-135 has a solid reliability record and the last time one of the Air Force tanker's crashed was more than 14 years ago. That Air National Guard plane went down in Germany on approach after returning from a refueling mission.
The air base at Manas was opened in December 2001 in preparation for Operation Enduring Freedom, and the refueling of jets flying over Afghanistan.
The base, however, has seen its share of obstacles.
The 2005 Tulip Revolution that toppled Kyrgyz president Askar Akayev from power had no immediate affect on Manas' mission, but the country's new president demanded more money for allowing the military to continue its presence there.
Though U.S. forces remained, the State Department received a formal eviction notice in 2009.
Days later Russia announced $2 billion in loans and $150 million in aid to Kyrgyzstan. Experts believe the compensation from Moscow was dependent upon U.S. expulsion from the country.
To retain use of the base U.S. officials upped the annual rent payment from about $17 million to $60 million and agreed to another $117 million in payments.
Realizing that ridding the region of a U.S. military presence was simply a matter of cash, the Chinese government allegedly offered Kyrgyzstan $3 billion.
Outlined in a leaked 2009 WikiLeaks cable, China did not deny the allegation.

Rudiger Set To Miss Three More Weeks After Groin Surgery
Elvis Iwuamadi 0	November 8, 2019 3:17 pm
Defender, Antonio Rudiger has suffered a huge setback on his way to making a return to the Chelsea squad after undergoing a groin injury.
The German defender has only featured for just 45 minutes this season since he underwent a knee operation. The player who joined in training last week had declared himself fit to play again only to break down that warranted him to see a specialist on Monday.
It had been reported that the defender would be out for a few weeks. towards the end of the month.
Lampard insisted it that isn't the case. Speaking last week, Lampard said: 'I saw the quotes. There was a miscommunication somewhere. He's not fit and will be seeing a consultant on Monday.'
Related: Lille Manager Galtier: Osimhen Fit For Marseille Clash
So it appears he would have to take some time to regain match fitness and be able to play at least.
Rudiger has been Chelsea's most consistent defender since joining the club from Roma in a £30m deal in 2017, playing 90 times for the club in all competitions.
Rudiger slipped on a metal plate beside the touchline at Molineux and strained his groin and had to undergo a surgery.
Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori have struck up a good partnership in central defence to cover the void although they conceded four goals at home to Ajax on Tuesday.
Chelsea will be without long-term absentee Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the suspended Jorginho for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace. Danish defender, Andreas Christensen is set to return after nursing a hamstring injury.

The Rise of the New Biocitizen Workshop
Connect with Citizen Health Innovators Project
The Rise of the New Bio-Citizen
By Eleonore Pauwels
Under the designation "patient-led research" or "citizen-driven biomedical research," citizens, patients, and families have increasingly become the leading force in the initiation and conduct of health research projects. These bio-citizens are pursuing a range of activities from analyses of genomic data for diagnosing rare diseases, identification of potential therapeutic drugs, organization and crowdfunding of clinical trial cohorts, and even self-surveillance or self-experimentation.
One member of this emerging movement is Dana Lewis, a Type 1 diabetic, who – out of frustration with her continuous glucose monitor – made her own closed-loop artificial pancreas and released it for other end-users online. And one group of bio-citizens, Four Thieves Vinegar, has published a how-to guide for making your own epinephrine autoinjectors at-home in opposition to skyrocketing market prices. While Dana and Four Thieves are not selling these innovations, they are disseminating the necessary knowledge for reproducing the devices on your own.
A professor of computer engineering, Matt Might, worked with many physicians for multiple years to find even a preliminary diagnosis for his son, who has a rare genetic disease. Just as he analyses the algorithms of a computer program, Matt hunted the genetic mechanisms responsible for Bertrand's disease with the hope of finding targets for experimental therapies. His subsequent work in building a community of families whose children possessed similar symptoms ultimately aided researchers and physicians in the discovery of a more concrete diagnosis for the rare neurological disorder.
What these stories often have in common is a taste for entrepreneurship. Sean Ahrens, a young Californian with Crohn's disease, harnessed funding from a few start-up accelerators to build Crohnology, an open platform where patients share and rate their experiences with medications, dietary changes and supplements, leveraging data that had previously gone to waste. Sean went as far as ingesting pig worms, meticulously documenting the daily effect on his Crohn's, and publishing his findings in a renowned medical journal.
In this report, we dive deep into these stories, along with many other unique and inspiring case studies. In doing so, we have mapped the barriers to innovation, knowledge legitimacy, and the ethical and governance challenges faced by bio-citizens.
The next step is to foster legitimacy for citizen-driven biomedical innovation by supporting citizens and patients to document and share their data, evidence and ethical concerns in ongoing conversations with regulators and society at large.
Because they respect biological safety levels and function as a peer-review culture, community bio-labs constitute an ideal ecosystem for mentorship in the most current bioengineering techniques and their related risk-benefit trade-offs. By the same token, these labs are the perfect place to start a continuing dialogue about how to adapt our regulatory standards to an increasingly democratized form of biomedical innovation.
We need empowerment, but also greater collective intelligence. If risks are properly managed without dampening the energy of this new movement, we might all gain in the process.
