Following the fall from grace of the Hohenstaufens, the castle was mostly used as a prison. Frederick's three grandsons were condemned to life imprisonment in the Castel del Monte. One escaped after 30 years, only to disappear into Egypt."
"Noble families of Andria took refuge in the castle during the plague of 1665. Later, abandoned as of the XVII Century, it was stripped of its marble and sculptures, and inhabited by shepherds and brigands. Recovered by the state in 1876, it saw some restoration initiatives at long last."
"So why did Frederick build it? His castles all over Sicily and southern Italy were certainly meant to express imperial power. But in this building we see something more. It's a dark and closed place inside, with a form so coolly mathematical as to be beautiful. A contemporary looked at it and wrote "Stupor mundi et immutator mirabilis". That was more an astonished outcry than a sentence. It meant something like, Amazed world -- wondrous novelty!"
ne question still remains: the number eight. So much else about the Crimson King can be traced back to Frederick II. Can the obsessive repetition of the number eight in the design of Castel del Monte be related to the Crimson King?
Of course Frederick would put an air association in his shrine, Zeus being the God associated with this element. A wind-rose could be considered a way of talking to the wind. The Crimson King chased the wind of a prism ship - an eight sided prism perhaps? Could the prism ship be Castel Del Monte?
and the foundation number of the universal authority. In Christian symbology "8" represents the union of the Infinite (God) and the Finite (man). In fact, in the IV Century, the Bishop of Milan, Ambrogio, introduced the octagonal shape for baptistries in order to underline the importance of being baptised. Whether, on conceiving this structure, Frederick II intended to link the Infinite to the Finite (and symbolically the East to the West) is only one possible interpretation that should (debatably) be taken with a pinch of salt. Just out of curiosity: note that the sum of the numbers of the year that Frederick died - 1250 - is eight."
"The central mythic image of Hermeticism occurs in the first treatise of the Corpus Hermeticum, "Poimandres, the Shepherd of Men". It is the description of the ascent of the soul after death, and its surrendering of its energies to the successive spheres of the seven planets. When it has given them all up, it can pass the Eighth Sphere (the Fixed Stars) and join the company of the Blest."
"The octagon, with a ninth point in the center, is also central to the mystical symbology of Sufism. It is the seal or design which Ernest Scott says 'reaches for the innermost secrets of man'. Meaning wholeness, power and perfection, this primary geometrical symbol is one which Sufis associate with Shambhala ..."
"The Law of Octaves was first suggested by Pythagoras in ancient Greece. Having observed that the eight notes of the conventional Occidental musical scale were governed by definite mathematical relationships, Pythagoras proceeded to create a whole cosmology based on 8s. In this octagonal model Pythagoras made numerous mistakes, because he was generalizing from insufficient data. However, his work was the first attempt in history to unify science, mathematics, art and mysticism into one comprehensible system and as such is still influential. Leary, Crowley and Buckminster Fuller have all described themselves as modern Pythagoreans. In China, roughly contemporary with Pythagoras, the Taoists built up a cosmology based on the interplay of yang (positive) and yin (negative), which produced the eight trigrams of the I Ching, out of which are generated the 64 hexagrams.
Modern geneticists have found that the DNA-RNA "dialogue" -- the molecular information system governing life and evolution - is transmitted by 64 (8x8) codons.
In 1973, unaware of Fuller's coupler - which I called to his attention later - Dr. Leary began to divide his 8 circuits into a 24-stage Periodic Table of Evolution. Timothy Leary also began attempting to correlate this with the Periodic Table of Elements in chemistry.
But this is strikingly similar to the teachings of Gurdjieff (which may be, according to many, the secret inner teachings of Sufism). The Gurdjieff vibration numbers and the levels of consciousness, as named by Gurdjieff, fit the Periodic Table of Evolution."
"The next fundamental law of the universe is the law of seven or the law of octaves.
The laws of music are a mathematical analysis of the laws of vibrations. Modern science says that energy is matter moving at a vibration rate of the velocity of light squared. Thus, a study of music is the study of the universe of vibrations. The esoteric study of music is the law of seven consisting of tones, semi-tones, and absent semi-tones or intervals.
For example, look at the visible light spectrum seen through the dispersing prism of Sir Newton. The prism deflects the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Newton, himself, observed the correlation between the musical scale and the visible light spectrum. but, he went no further in exoteric publication than his Optics.
Until the discovery of the prism by (Newton), our science did not conceive of visible light consisting of seven independent wave lengths of light, which in unity is white light. However, the occult scientists did and this correspondence is reflected in the seven notes of the musical scale."
"In 1971 the Gurdjieff Society finally settled at Sherborne House, Gloucestershire, where in the mid-seventies Robert Fripp attended a one year course.
According to his own comments, the experiences at Sherborne dramatically changed Fripp's life, and naturally, from that point on, ideas from the Gurdjieff/Bennett philosophical school are traceable in Fripp's work."
In the same article Robert made reference to Harmonic Proportion and the Golden Mean."
"You might ask where this came from? In Fibonacci's day, mathematical competitions and challenges were common. In 1225 Fibonacci took part in a tournament at Pisa ordered by the emperor himself, Frederick II.
Beginning with a single pair of rabbits, if every month each productive pair bears a new pair, which becomes productive when they are 1 month old, how many rabbits will there be after n months?""
The series resulted from Fibonacci's solution to the problem.
"Frederick II was also a friend to the great mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, who introduced the Arabic representations for zero and ten into European calculation.
He (Frederick) built the Castel Del Monte in the 1240s. In a land where snow is rare, it reminds us of the fractal shape of snowflakes. It's a perfect octagon, 123 feet across, with an octagonal center court. Octagonal towers on each corner carry the octagonal theme downward in scale. Its floor plan reflects octagonal Islamic tile work."
"The building draws on the most powerful thinking about design and mathematics in the Islamic world. The ground plan, seen clearly in aerial shots of the citadel, perfectly illustrates all possible forms of an eight-sided polygon: four symmetrical axes, simple octagon, eight-pointed star formed by two intersecting squares and the pointed star polygon, universally known as the Islamic eight-pointed star. Castel del Monte is, as a computer simulation proves, a fractal whose iterations are immediately apparent -- one of the most beautiful structures ever to rise from the human mind, and the mind, recognizing it, is naturally captivated."
"This type of music invites you to engage it on a very personal level. It�s unabashedly cerebral and contemplative. There is a constant fluidity, the sound of stunningly beautiful fractals endlessly generating new stunningly beautiful fractals � spacious, yet finely detailed."
"For several years Leonardo corresponded with Frederick II and his scholars, exchanging problems with them. He dedicated his Liber quadratorum (1225; "Book of Square Numbers") to Frederick."
"The Fibonacci numbers grow at a rate measured by a certain mathematical constant called the Golden mean. The Golden mean is thought by many people to describe the most aesthetically pleasing rectangle. Starting with such a rectangle, you can partition it as illustrated so that it circumscribes a logarithmic spiral, which in turn models the shape of a shell of a chambered nautilus."
form a rectangle with an aspect ratio of the Golden Number."
A nautilus is sculpted into an interior wall at the castle. On the inner wall of the nautilus are inscribed the Fibonacci Numbers.
The cochlea of the inner ear is shaped like a nautilus shell (the Latin word for snail is cochlea). By inscribing the Fibonacci numbers on the inner ear of his castle, Frederick was relating the numbers to architecture, nature and music.
"There may be a mathematical link between the anatomical structure of the cochlea and the theoretical structure of our tonal musical system (Joseph, 1988). The mathematician Pythagorus believed that music was a musical expression of numbers. He discovered that the same ratios of the consonances in our current musical system have the capability of reproducing themselves (the ratio can reproduce itself within itself) (Joseph, 1988). These ratios are referred to as "golden ratios" or "golden rectangles". Interestingly, the structure of the cochlea also exhibits ratios of a "golden rectangle".
suggests a possible co-evolution of music as a separate entity. I am reminded of Dawkins idea of the meme, where music is propagating itself through humans, and that music which is best at reproducing itself (consonance) is prospering through natural selection, while the not so successful (dissonance) are dying off."
"Usually people think that it is the musicians who create the music, but in fact it is music who creates the musicians."

Donovan Mitchell scores record 71 points for Cleveland Cavaliers in win over Chicago Bulls
It was an NBA record night on Monday as Donovan Mitchell and LeBron James set point records.
Mitchell scored 71 points – the highest single-game point total since Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant scored 81 against Toronto in 2006 – as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls 145-134 in overtime .
His career high is a franchise record and, according to the NBA, Mitchell is the seventh player to score 70+ points in a game.
Wilt Chamberlain holds the NBA record with 100 points for Philadelphia against New York on March 2, 1962.
"To be there in the record books with guys like Wilt is really humbling," Mitchell said, per ESPN. "I always believed that I could be one of the best players in the league. I am speechless and blessed to be in the company of such greatness.
Mitchell was drenched in water by his teammates at the end of the game, while his coach JB Bickerstaff described his performance as "one of the greatest performances in the history of the game".
"Every play he made was a play that was needed," Bickerstaff said, according to ESPN. "Donovan never put himself above the team, so how can you not cheer for a guy like that? I told everyone to walk away.
Mitchell broke James' Cavaliers previous record of 57 points in a game. James had jointly held that record with Kyrie Irving, although the NBA great also put his name in the history books on Monday.
By scoring 43 points as the Lakers beat the Charlotte Hornets 121-115, James became only the second player aged 35 or older to record consecutive games over 40 points. The other being Michael Jordan.

COVID-19 Admissions Update
The admissions committee highly encourages Mizzou Med applicants to keep all required coursework as a letter grade. However, if this is not an option at your institution, applicants will not be penalized for taking our required coursework as pass/fail for the Spring 2021 semester only.
The admissions committee is aware that applications for entering class 2022 and beyond will look different than in the past due to limited volunteer, shadowing, and direct-patient care experiences brought on by the pandemic. We still encourage students to do the best they can to get these experiences among other things to be a competitive applicant. If any further adjustments are made to deadlines, coursework, or requirements due to COVID-19, we will continue to update our website with the latest information.
Admitted Mizzou medical students are currently required to have the COVID-19 vaccine unless granted a medical or religious exemption.
Applicant must be a United States citizens or a permanent resident. If you meet the requirements, go to our Medical School Application Process.
All MD, MD-PhD, and Early Decision applicants must have completed the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). MCAT must be taken between January 2018 and September 2021. To be considered for entry in 2022, applicants must provide scores from exams administered through September 2021. Candidates must earn an MCAT score of at least 494 to be considered.
Applicants must have completed at least 90 semester hours from a U.S. college or university. All required coursework must also be taken at a U.S. college or university.
Required coursework with a grade of C- or better:
College English composition or writing intensive, six credit hours or one year
College-level mathematics (college algebra or above), three credit hours or one semester*
Biologic sciences (e.g., biology, genetics, cell biology, animal physiology, molecular biology, histology), six credit hours or one year
Chemistry (through organic chemistry), twelve credit hours or two years
General physics, six credit hours or one year
*Statistics courses will not meet the mathematics requirement
Recommended coursework beyond introductory science courses:
Biochemistry, three to six credit hours or one semester to one year
Biology, three to six credit hours or one semester to one year
Chemistry, three to six credit hours or one semester to one year
The Dean of Student Programs and the Office of Admissions can review applications that do not meet our standard course requirements and determine if the coursework meets the academic-equivalent qualifications for incoming students.
Undergraduate Grade Point Average
All applicants must have an overall cumulative GPA of a 3.0 or higher. The Admissions Committee will not consider applicants with either a science cumulative or an overall cumulative GPA of less than 3.0, unless the applicant also has significant post-baccalaureate or graduate coursework.
If an applicant's undergraduate math/science GPA is below 3.0, then the graduate or post-baccalaureate coursework needs to be taken in the math/science areas to show that the applicant knows the subject matter. To learn more about what the AAMC classifies as math and sciences courses, visit their website: AMCAS Course Classification Guide.
A competitive applicant would need to have well above the minimum in either their MCAT score or GPA. Meeting only the minimum requirements in both areas is unlikely to result in a successful application.
Out-of-State Applications
Applicants who do not have a legal residence of Missouri on their AMCAS application are welcome to apply. Since the MU School of Medicine is a state funded university, the majority of accepted students (around 80-85%) will have a legal residence of Missouri. Due to a high number of out-of-state applications, OOS applicants must meet the following MCAT and undergraduate cumulative GPA combinations to be considered.
MCAT Score
Undergraduate Cumulative GPA
494 – 497 3.80 or greater
510 - 528 3.00 or greater
If an applicant has taken significant post-baccalaureate or graduate coursework, the graduate cumulative GPA will be considered individually if the above combinations are not met. If applicants meet the academic requirements above, they will be emailed an Out-Of-State form (no cost), this form determines the applicants' ties to the state of Missouri. If the Out-Of-State form is approved, a secondary application will be provided.
Early Decision Applications
To apply for the early-decision program, candidates must have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of at least 3.75. Applicants with lower GPAs who have successfully completed relevant graduate-level coursework may be considered.
Those applying to the early-decision program must have an MCAT score of at least 508.
MD-PhD Applications
If you are interested in applying to our MD-PhD program, all admissions requirements and application deadlines are the same as the MD program, including the academic requirements for non-Missouri residents.
Letters of Evaluation
The University of Missouri School of Medicine participates in the AMCAS Letter Service. Evaluation letters are accepted only through the AMCAS Letter Service. Evaluation letters sent directly to our medical school will not be accepted. Please visit the AMCAS website to learn how to submit letters of evaluation to the University of Missouri School of Medicine.
Applicants should submit three letters of evaluation. Additional letters beyond the three required may be submitted to supplement or validate other aspects of your candidacy, but no more than six letters.
Traditional Applicants
One letter from a professor who taught and issued the applicant a grade is required. It is strongly recommended that the letter from a professor who issued a grade be from science faculty. Letters from teaching assistants will not satisfy this requirement. Applicants may submit a pre-med committee or composite letter in lieu of the three individual letters.
Non-Traditional Applicants
If the applicant has completed an undergraduate degree before September 2019, please have three letters of evaluation sent from individuals who are familiar with the applicant's recent scientific work, study experience, or professional experience.
Personal Characteristics and Tested Motivation for Medicine
The Admissions Committee is comprised of students, faculty, and alumni who screen initial applications and determine the best candidates to invite for interviews. The MCAT results and academic record assist the committee in evaluating an individual's aptitude for medical education. Equally important, however, are the applicant's personal characteristics and experiences related to health care. The admissions committee uses letters of evaluation, the personal statement, pre-medical community and educational activities, and the interview to assess the extent to which the applicant has the personal characteristics and knowledge of health care to adequately commit to a lifelong career as a patient-centered physician. The School of Medicine has identified the following as groups whose representation will particularly improve the diversity of the learning environment: those who self-identify as rural, socioeconomically disadvantaged and from groups historically underrepresented in medicine.
The MU School of Medicine receives more than 3,000 applications every year. After an initial screening, applicants who are seriously being considered are invited for interviews. In general, applicants to the MD-PhD program will have a medical school interview and separate Graduate School interviews. All interviews are at the invitation of the School of Medicine. Learn more about our application process.
The School of Medicine plans to offer 400 interview each admissions cycle. It is possible that more slots may be available; however, applicants are strongly advised to complete their applications early. Consideration for interview slots will be conducted on a rolling basis as applications are received.

Review NYSC Camp Training Now – MURIC
November 13, 2019 Emporium Reporters
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the expulsion of two female corps members from NYSC camp in Ebonyi state last Saturday.
In a press statement circulated to the media by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola on Wednesday, 13th November, 2019, the civil society organization berated NYSC for sacrificing morality on the altar of militarization. It called for immediate review of the NYSC training camp activities to allow female corpers whose creeds forbid them from wearing short knickers to freely and willingly partake in the activities.
MURIC said, "NYSC has placed military options above moral issues. It is affecting young ones in both Christianity and Islam. This is capable of destroying the moral fabrics of our society. What kind of leadership is NYSC trying to produce for the nation? Is it a God-fearing leadership that will give the nation good governance or one that has no fear of Allah that will embezzle the people's funds, abuse power while in office and deprive the citizens of basic infrastructural facilities?
"NYSC should go into retrospection. What has it achieved in more than three decades of its existence? What has been the impact of its training on the youth? Our streets have been taken over by an army of jobless graduates. Yahoo Yahoo is the order of the day. Our graduates are heavily militarized. Cultism, kidnapping and ritual killing are their hobbies. Materialism is their religion. They are in a hurry to get rich. Meanwhile Nigeria holds its breath and trembles.
"But NYSC can do better if it pays attention to morality and vocational training instead of concentrating on physical fitness, climbing obstacles, crawling under barbed wires and other military exercises like marching, military parade, etc. Of what use have these activities been to the graduates? Of what use have those activities been to national development?
"What is the purpose of teaching graduates how to march on parade when they are not expected to continue military drills after camp? Why are we training them to cross obstacles and crawl under sharp objects when the training does not include the use of arms? Corpers finish up the one-year ritual without knowing how to cock a rifle or how to halt an advancing target for identification. It is sheer window-dressing.
"NYSC camp modus operandi is as irrelevant as it is distractive. As far as we are concerned, physical training for graduates in present day Nigeria is peripheral. It is their moral training that is tangential. It is a misplacement of priorities. A nation that has been dragged behind by corruption, a nation whose growth has been retarded by immorality cannot afford to ignore warnings coming from the altar and the minbar.
The organization however suggested the way forward:
"What does NYSC or the nation as a whole stand to gain from decamping corpers for irrational and flimsy excuses? The effect is counter-productive. It wastes the efforts of serious-minded graduates while Yahoo Yahoo and cultist graduates multiply on our streets. What's in a short knicker and what's in a long skirt? NYSC is killing flies with a sledge-hammer.
"The way forward is to de-emphasise physical and pseudo-military exercises. NYSC handlers should turn attention to the reorientation of our young graduates during camping. Many of them are cynical about Nigeria. NYSC can partner with the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in this regard. Lectures and interactive sessions on patriotism will go a long way to give corpers a new mindset. Motivational speakers should be on call.
"Besides, the period should be used for vocational training. This will change our young ones into entrepreneurs and reduce the number of jobless youths. Leadership retreat is another angle that should be considered. Our young graduates need to begin to see leadership as service to humanity. The camping period can also be used for anti-corruption campaigns. Ideologues of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may come in handy here."
MURIC rubbished NYSC's rationale for choice of short knickers for corpers in camp.
"The argument that corpers need short knickers for military drills does not hold any water at all. We have been able to prove that those drills are unnecessary. Corpers are not soldiers. Neither are they members of uniformed organisations. Their stay in camp is ephemeral, sometimes three or four weeks. 99.999% of them may never put on any uniform again in their lives. What then is the purpose of laying so much emphasis on drills, crossing the obstacle, climbing nets, jumping over heights and ascending walls? Has the Third World War started?
"Nigerians should shine their eyes. Those military exercises were introduced at the time because NYSC was started by the military. They added all those irrelevant aspects because those are activities best known to soldiers. But we should review the camping activities now that we are in a civilian regime.
"We therefore appeal to the National Assembly (NASS) to take an urgent look at activities in NYSC camps with a view to reviewing them as discussed above. This is a democracy. The NYSC decree should be radically reviewed by the NASS. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also advised to study the matter and bring it to the attention of the presidency. We call on the leadership of CAN to join us in the call for a review of the modus operandi of NYSC training camp.
"In our closing remarks, we reject NYSC's excuse for insisting on using short knickers. We assert that corpers do not need any exercise that cannot be done with skirts. We call for the introduction of re-orientation lectures, leadership training talks and anti-corrption campaigns to replace irrelevant military drills. We also advocate vocational training for corpers in order to turn their attention to entrepreneurship rather than remaining wild goose chasers of non-available white-collar jobs."
It will be recalled that two female Christian youth corpers were also expelled from the NYSC camp in Ebonyi State on Saturday, 9th November, 2019 for the same reason.
A female Muslim corper yesterday refused to use the conventional short knicker at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camp at Iyana Ipaja, Lagos State. NYSC authorities have allegedly initiated the process for decamping her and she may be sent out of the camp today, Wednesday, 13th November, 2019.Both the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)have since condemned the expulsion.

College students are skipping meals to pay for textbooks
Stef W. Kight
Textbook prices have skyrocketed over the past few years, which has led 71% of students to ask their parents for money, 41% to skip meals and 31% to take fewer classes to afford their reading material, according to a new survey by Morning Consult for Cengage, an online textbook company.
Adapted with updated data from an American Enterprise Institute report; Chart: Axios Visuals
The big picture: The vast majority of current and former college students think their textbooks are overpriced and 85% said buying their books is at least somewhat financially stressful. Of the 1,651 current and former students surveyed, a majority told Morning Consult they didn't buy what was required, purchased outdated copies, or shared with classmates.

President Biden plans to keep Christopher Wray as director of the FBI, CNN first reported and an administration official confirmed to Axios.
The big picture: Wray, who was nominated by former President Trump in 2017 after he fired former FBI Director James Comey, came under heavy criticism from Trump and his allies over the past year.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his close aides are very nervous about the transition to a new U.S. administration after a four-year honeymoon with Donald Trump. One Israeli official told me it felt like going through detox.
What he's saying: Netanyahu congratulated Biden minutes after he was sworn in, saying in a statement that he looked forward to working together to "continue expanding peace between Israel and the Arab world and to confront common challenges, chief among them the threat posed by Iran."

ARE, Sweden (AP) - Burnsville native Lindsey Vonn walked off with her career haul of medals in her right hand, the gold, silver and bronze clinking together almost weighing her down.
Whatever it was, the sound was a reminder of what Vonn has come to symbolize - an athlete who battled back from one major injury after another throughout her career to win more ski races than any other woman.
Five days after crashing in super-G - a fall that knocked the wind out of her and left her with a black eye and a bruised rib - and three months after tearing a ligament in her left knee, Vonn won the bronze medal in the world championship downhill Sunday in the final race of her career.
She's shed so many tears that there are none left - just like she no longer has any cartilage in her knees.
"I'm literally tapped out, I can't cry anymore," said Vonn, who began skiing long, long ago at Buck Hill in Burnsville. "I want to cry but it's dry. ... It's not an easy thing to feel your bones hitting together and continue to push through it.
As soon as she exited the finish area, Vonn embraced Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark, the only skier to win more World Cup races than she did - 86 to 82.
Four U.S. flags were in the grandstand when Vonn came down and there were quite a few cheers when she started her run wearing a suit with blue-and-yellow trim - Sweden's colors - to honor Stenmark.
Now she can finally let her body heel and move onto the next phase of her life - possibly acting, having children, starting a business .

44% Conservative, 40% Moderate, 11% Liberal on Fiscal Issues
U.S. Supreme Court Earns Highest Approval in Years
Most Think Every SCOTUS Nominee Should Get a Senate Vote
More Now See Supreme Court as Too Conservative
Twenty-nine percent (29%) of Likely U.S. Voters remain conservative on both fiscal and social issues, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Just 10% say they are fiscal and social liberals. Sixty-one percent (61%) are some other combination. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
These findings are consistent with surveys back to November 2007, as is the continuing pattern that voters tend to be more fiscally conservative than socially conservative.
Forty-four percent (44%) describe themselves as conservative on fiscal issues such as taxes, government spending and business regulation. Forty percent (40%) say they're moderate when it comes to fiscal issues, while only 11% claim to be fiscal liberals.
But just 35% say they're conservative when it comes to issues like abortion, public prayer and church-state topics. Thirty percent (30%) are moderate in this area, and 31% are social liberals.
The national survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on September 14-15, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, during Saturday evening's presidential debate with his challenger, Prabowo Subianto, said it was better for the country's leaders to adhere to the values of Pancasila in their daily lives and interactions. (Antara Photo/Hafidz Mubarak)
Prabowo Reinvigorates Commitment to Pancasila; Jokowi: Let's Not Blaspheme Each Other
BY :DION BISARA
Jakarta. Presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto crushed any concerns that he may compromise Indonesia's national unity by being too cozy with radical Islamists during Saturday evening's debate.
The former Army general, in a heated tone, said he has been at the receiving end of accusations that he supports the movement that seeks to establish an Islamic state, or caliphate, in Indonesia.
"This is something very unreasonable. My mother is a Christian. I was born from a Christian womb," Prabowo said, stating the fact in public for the first time in years.
"I, from the age of 18, risked my life to defend Pancasila. I put my life at stake for this republic; why am I being accused of wanting to change Pancasila?" he said about the official state ideology.
"These are really cruel acquisitions, but I believe Mr. Jokowi doesn't approve of them," he added, referring to the incumbent, Joko Widodo, by his popular nickname.
Prabowo has been rallying Islamist support for his presidential ticket, seeking to replicate a strategy that proved successful two years ago in toppling Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, Jakarta's widely popular former governor, who is a Christian.
The chairman of the opposition Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra) revamped his Islamic credentials with a formal endorsement of his candidacy by the ulema. The party also opposed a move by the Jokowi administration to disband Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, the local branch of a transnational movement that aims to establish a global caliphate.
But when asked to state his position on Pancasila, Prabowo reinvigorated his commitment to the state ideology.
"For us, Pancasila is the final ideology," he said.
"Pancasila is the result of a major compromise, of the brilliance of our founding generation. Pancasila succeeded in uniting hundreds of ethnic groups, major religions, different cultures and different languages. This compromise resulted in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, therefore we are determined to maintain Pancasila to the last drop of blood."
"I, at the age of 18, signed an oath to defend the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. If anyone wants to change this, I will face them with all the strength I have."
Jokowi had little to disagree with in Prabowo's statement.
"I believe Mr. Prabowo is a 'Pancasilaist.' I also believe Mr. Prabowo is a nationalist," the president said.
But he added that it is better for leaders to adhere to the values of Pancasila in their daily lives and interactions.
"Let's not blaspheme each other; not insult each other; not underestimate each other; not disparage each other, which we now see our politicians doing," Jokowi said, adding that the country's leaders should behave in a way that sets a healthy example for young people.
The two candidates agreed that Pancasila should be introduced to Indonesian children from an early age.
"Education of our children should start, not from kindergarten, but from preschool," Jokowi said.
The National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) has found many examples over the past three years of extremist literature distributed at Islamic preschools in Indonesia stating that it is halal, or lawful under Islamic law, to shed the blood of non-Muslims.
"Children must be told how to be tolerant, because we have 714 tribes. Children must also be told how to be friends with their brothers and sisters of the same country, which has more than 1,100 different regional languages," Jokowi said.
Din Syamsuddin, chairman of the advisory council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), said the discourse between the idea of a caliphate – in its narrowest sense an Islamic state – and Pancasila had been resolved by the Indonesian ulema long ago.
He said Indonesia can be considered Darul Ahdi wa Shahadah, or a state based on an agreement between Muslims and their fellow countrymen, which Muslims are obliged to uphold.
He acknowledged the connotation recently attached to the idea of a caliphate, which links it with the movement to dismantle Indonesia's current political system and replace it with something based solely on Islamic law. But he warned that using it in politics could cause irreparable damage to the nation.
"Broadbrushing something considered anti-Pancasila onto a particular group is a labeling and generalization that are dangerous and which can create an atmosphere of division in the fabric of the nation," Din said.

Funny stuff @dustinh23!


A week before NFL front-office and team executives, coaches, media and more were scheduled to meet in Phoenix for the annual league meeting, the league's competition committee was out in the desert discussing the rules proposals that would be addressed. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent called it "a final tune-up" before the annual meeting.
And there were plenty of proposals to discuss.
At the annual meeting next week, NFL teams and the committee will present their proposals to all 32 team owners. A new rule (or a revision of an existing rule) requires approval of 24 of the 32 team owners (75 percent) to be adopted.
As one might expect after the debacle that was the Chiefs' overtime loss to the Patriots in last season's AFC championship game - after which many, including Sporting News, criticized the NFL's OT rule that prohibited Kansas City from getting a chance to score after New England's game-winning touchdown - a proposal to allow both teams at least one OT possession is being submitted - by the Chiefs.
Also predictable are proposals that relate to the expansion of opportunities for replay review, given the fallout from the other conference title game, the Rams' win over the Saints in the NFC, regarding a missed pass interference penalty.
Compliments of NFL operations, below are all the rule changes that will be proposed and voted upon next week in Phoenix, plus the teams that are proposing them.

Hyland's has been making safe, natural homeopathic remedies for over 100 years. They asked for a complete rebranding of their best-selling product line, Leg Cramps with Quinine, to make it more competitive in the store aisle. This product line is available at any pharmacy across America.
Welch's, which has been producing Concord grape products since 1869, is a co-op of over 1,300 grape growers. The company wished to show the agricultural story of their product, from farm to table, on its packaging. After the new label design for their best-selling Concord grape juice bottle was created, the new look was carried over onto the rest of the Welch's jam, jelly and fruit spread product line.
Novartis, a major multinational pharmaceutical company, was looking for design proposals to refresh the packaging of one of their most popular product lines, Benefiber. Demonstrating the product's natural health benefits was a high priority when developing the look of the package, in the hopes of attracting new customers who would integrate Benefiber into their daily health routine.
Having developed a new "It's Your Network" ad campaign, Verizon sought to explore new ways of using their campaign assets in the design of their mobile phone packaging. Radial patterns, grunge textures, and stylized model shots were used to make Verizon's brand stand out from other cellular competitors.


The project develops the typology of the communal roof.
The continuous roof references Malay culture in three ways. First, the pitched roof is an abstraction of the iconic Malay roof form as exemplified by the bumbung panjang house-form. Second, the articulated roof surface references the art and craft heritage found in Malay basket making and fabric design. This diamond-shaped surface articulation is a function of the underlying diagrid structure. Third, the thin structural columns that support the roof reference the delicate stilts that support the traditional Malay house.
A large continuous roof brings people together. Not only different organisations within the same community but people from across diverse communities. This communal gathering takes place not only in the public plaza, but also on the generous outdoor terraces and the green rooftop spaces. A roof also provides shelter from the sun and from the rain. This allows the terraces and the public plaza to remain active during all weathers.
It's massing and relation to the site enriches public space.
The surrounding urban context, for example Joo Chiat Road, features small-scale shophouses and a lively atmosphere. Respecting this context, the proposal carefully breaks down the mass of the required program into smaller units that create difference and visual interest at the street level. These building units are arranged into bands that run parallel to Geylang Serai creating a composition that references the arrangement of the traditional Malay house.
The large public plaza is placed beneath the continuous roof. The uncovered outdoor plaza is a concept developed in temperate countries where spending time in the glare of the sun is not problematic. In tropical countries the provision of shelter – both from the sun and from heavy rain – is important for a successful outdoor space.
The Malay house features terrace space (serambi gantung) between the main rooms. In a similar way, the proposal features large terrace space running north-south between the different civic centre programs. These spaces are both for circulation and informal gathering. The terrace space adjacent to the public plaza represents the ideal raised platform for viewing outdoor performances.
This proposal celebrates the cumulative intelligence manifest in traditional Malay architecture. This is less about ornamental and decorative elements and more about the architectural grammar and spatial logic of this particular building typology. Hence, we emphasise the roof form, delicate structure elements and extensive use of terraces and platforms. This generates a building complex that is technically efficient, recognisable as deeply rooted in the Malay tradition, and that performs as a flexible and accommodating composition. Above all it celebrates community: gathering together and enjoying both festive and relaxing time outdoors.


You have to have Painter Classic or an other version of Painter to follow this lesson. You also need a Graphics Tablet. Preferably a Wacom Intuos with a standard pen.
but a resoultion of 1280*1024 or 1600*1200 in True color is prefered.
This lesson will try to explain sketching in Painter Classic. Sketching may sound like boring stuff, and it is for some :). Still, you can't start painting without a sketch so this part can't be skipped.
Sketching is a bit special, a sketch is not supposed to look good, and sketching does not require much technical skills. Sketching is all about using your eyes to observe and then transform what you see through your hand down at the paper. This is a very important skill, and impossible to learn without alot of practice.
Practice is just what this lesson is for. In this tutorial we'll use an apple as a motive and try to draw its sketch.
The apple is a shape most people are familiar with.
The image you just created will be refered to as New Image in this lesson.
you have alot of space. If you paint ,say a human for exsample, in 1000 * 1000 pixels, consider drawing the head alone at 3000*3000 pixels and rather scale it down later.
Save the large apple image (above) anywhere you want, just make sure you remember where you put it. Open the apple image you just saved in Painter Classic.


Borussia Dortmund will hope to catch Bundesliga entertainers Hoffenheim on an off-day as they go about climbing off the foot of the table.
Jurgen Klopp's side have suffered a drastically poor 2014-15 campaign domestically and head into the weekend's fixtures propping up a league they won as recently as 2012.
A raft of injuries to key players has not helped the Dortmund cause, though just two wins from six home league games this term tells its own story of the failings at the usually imposing Signal Iduna Park.
Klopp has remained typically bullish in his determination to steer Dortmund back to safety, but has cited routine poor starts - which have seen his side concede first in eight of their 13 games - as an area to improve upon immediately.
He said: "We've got to see in training who is ready to take on this challenge and then I'll pick the team.
"Working and dealing with problems makes you better. I have rarely had to deal with as many as I have at the moment.
"Too often we've gone behind in games, and that's why we've lost a lot of games. Our manner when we're losing isn't good."
Though wary of letting goals in at the wrong end, Hoffenheim's highly unpredictable nature may give Klopp some comfort if his side do concede on Friday.
Having gone the first nine games of their league season undefeated, Markus Gisdol's men were brought back to earth with three straight losses which saw 11 goals concede.
A porous defence also let in Hannover three times last week, but their potent attack fired to secure a 4-3 success.
The previous two meetings between the sides in Dortmund have been packed with incident.
Last season's clash acted as Robert Lewandowski's farewell to the Westfalenstadion and saw the hosts overturn Roberto Firmino's effort with three goals in a whirlwind five-minute spell to eventually prevail 3-2.
The final day of the 2012-13 campaign also saw the pair go head-to-head as a brace of Sejad Salihovic penalties in the final 15 minutes kept Hoffenheim out of the automatic relegation zone.
With the roles reversed this term, though, Klopp remains without some of his top stars. Marco Reus is once again suffering from ankle injuries, while Sokratis Papastathopoulos (broken fibula) and Ji Dong-won (knee) are set to miss the game.
Mats Hummels and Jakub Blaszczykowski returned to training this week to boost Klopp, while Gisdol has had his goalkeeping options supplemented by Koen Casteels' comeback from a broken leg in an outing for the Under-23 side this week, though new first choice Oliver Baumann will likely remain in goal.
The visitors will definitely without the suspended Adam Szalai, with Gisdol sweating over the fitness of Sven Schipplock (groin) and Pirmin Schwegler (thigh).


Below are answers to some of the frequently asked questions (FAQ'S) about the Density Analytics Electronic Hydrometer, Specific Gravity/Liquid Density Meter, Monitor, Controller.
Who is the inventor, developer and manufacturer of this device?
This SGU-100 digital density meter, monitor, controller was invented, patented and developed by Density Analytics, L.L.C. The device is manufactured in the USA and is distributed globally.
What is the operating principle of this device?
The density meter is basically a pure physics device that operates on the buoyancy principle. The submersible probe contains a mobile float that moves up and down in accordance with the density of the liquid. The float holds a bar magnet that actuates a patented Hall Effect linear proximity sensor. The signal output from the probe is processed by the connected electronic module that provides a calibrated digital read out of the liquid density in addition to an optional 4-20 ma analog output. Please click HERE to watch a short video outlining the operating principle of the SGU - 100.
How does this device compare in functionality to similar devices?
This Density Analytics density meter has the capability of doing a remote, in-tank, real time, continuous, measure, monitor, record and control of specific gravity/ liquid density. It is the only device on the market that has all these attributes and completeness of functionality. Hand held, desk top, or in-line devices cannot match the total functionality of this device.
The density meter probe is immune to damage. It can be dropped on a floor, will not break, and still be operational – very much unlike hand held, desk top, and in-line devices which are considered to be physically and electronically very fragile devices.
How does one calibrate the device?
The density meter electronic module operates on 120 vac power and contains a push button programmable meter. The user can very easily calibrate and program the meter at any time to read the output density in the users preferred engineering units – sgu, Baume, % concentration. The density range is customized to the application. These other devices use mostly Coriolis sensors-- these sensors are very fragile, not robust, are very easily breakable. In addition, they rely on an electronically activated tube that captures the liquid for processing. Any sticking or adhesion of previous liquids in the tube will alter the physics of the tube and contaminate and violate the accuracy of the readings. These devices cannot be easily checked and calibrated for the user's particular application. Please click HERE to watch a short video reviewing the calibration process for the SGU - 100.
Can the probe be easily cleaned?
The density meter probe contains only one moving part – a mobile float that is constrained by two stainless 316 springs. The probe can be easily dissembled, cleaned by swishing in clean water, and reassembled.
What are the fabrication materials and whetted parts?
The probe and float are fabricated from engineered chemically resistant materials: CPVC housing, PVDT cable strain, 316 stainless springs, epoxy or silicone encapsulation and PVC or Teflon probe cable. These materials are chosen so that the probe is chemically resistant to hostile liquids.
What does the 4-20 ma analog output do for the user?
In addition to a digital readout of density, the terminals on the back of the density meter electronic module provide a 4-20 ma analog output signal. This signal can be interfaced with a PLC controller to measure, record, monitor and control the liquid density by providing a signal that can turn valves on and off to maintain a particular user target density. In addition, this signal can be used to trigger process alarms for maximum or minimum density benchmark requirements.
Can the probe alone be purchased separately for direct PLC interfacing?
Yes. The probe can be purchased separately. It operates on 5 vdc and provides a 0 – 5 vdc signal output to a simple 3 wire connector (power, ground, and signal) at the end of the probe cable. A density/voltage calibration curve is supplied with the probe.
Can device be used for detecting vertical density gradients in holding tanks?
Yes. This density meter is an in-tank device and it measures and monitors the liquid density in the immediate location/vicinity of the probe. Therefore, it can be vertically lowered to detect vertical density gradients in holding tanks. This is useful for getting a more accurate measure of liquid inventory /assets in a holding tank. None of the above mentioned devices – hand held, desk top, and in-line -- are capable of doing this.
What type of mounting is used for this device?
The remote, submersible probe is an in-tank sensor device. It can be simply hung or attached to a wall in the tank. Probe must be vertical and completely covered with liquid (11" probe height). The probe is atmospheric pressure invariant and can be submersed at any depth in the liquid.
How easy is it to incorporate this device into an existing application?
Since the probe is connected to a submersible cable, simply hanging the probe in a process application tank is sufficient for the probe to have intimate contact with the liquid under observation. For this reason, we say this Density Analytics density meter is easily retrofittable to existing applications.
What are typical user applications?
We have over 300 satisfied users and repeat users of this Density Analytics density meter device -- they have a myriad of applications. Morton Salt uses our devices to monitor salt concentration in evaporation basins. ESAB Welding (www.esab.com) uses our devices to monitor the density of lubricants in their welding machines. The Savannah River Nuclear Facility (www.srremediation.com) uses our devices to monitor the liquid density in their highly radioactive holding tanks. The metal finishing company Technic uses our devices to monitor the liquid density in a metal passivation/ cleaning process. Contact us for a listing of many more applications.
What kind of product service can we expect?
Density Analytics is the inventor, producer and distributor of this functionally superior density meter device. You can count on responsible product service and a support staff that is very familiar with the physics of operation of the device, and who will provide help and guidance with specific application/installations.

I'm re-evaluating Ninjatrader for purchase. I read on another thread that NT will be integrating Cloud Services. I'm not sure what this means. If I purchase NT, will the program eventually be a "CLOUD-ONLY" web-based program? That will be a deal-killer for me.
Thank you for responding if you know the answer.
That sounds more like speculation. The NT program architecture just got upgraded after so many years. Cloud based means they re-write it again in HTML5 like Xtrader.
Or, you may be confusing it with the NT "mobile" which may or may not be offered free to licensed NT users.
they have no made any statements that i've seen about becoming a 'cloud only' platform.
Server side storage of user data such as templates, config files etc..
Although development is working on these features now it will be way off in the future before its available.
Thank you very much for your responses and clarifications. I appreciate the help.

3 steps to good charity governance
Complex governance structures can make it harder for charities to function effectively
Conflicts of interest are also a common problem, and can lead to charities receiving unwanted attention from regulators
We take a closer look at three key features of good governance for Scottish charities
Good governance is essential to the smooth running of any charity.
Charities that are not governed effectively will find it harder to meet their objectives and make the most of their resources. The most serious cases of poor governance can lead to intervention from regulators, significant reputational damage, and disillusionment among staff, volunteers and trustees.
Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator: Who's In Charge?
To achieve good governance, charities should focus on three key areas.
1. Avoiding complex governance structures
Complex governance structures can create doubt over who is in charge and can increase the risk of damaging internal disputes.
Complex structures include those where there is more than one body with management responsibilities, such as strategic planning and the meeting of business objectives.
In all circumstances, including those where complex structures are unavoidable, a charity's constitution should:
Clearly set out who the trustees are
Ensure trustees are able to control and manage the charity
Ensure trustees have final responsibility for strategic planning and the implementation of strategies
2. Avoiding conflicts of interest
It is easy for potential conflicts of interest to emerge, but much harder for charities to demonstrate such conflicts are being dealt with effectively.
Potential conflicts can occur when charities have links to other bodies, or when the same people are managing two different bodies.
The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has investigated a number of charities, amid concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
These include a charity where all of the trustees were also local authority councillors, and another where all trustees also sat on the regional NHS board, leading in both cases to concerns about the independence of decision-making.
It is not enough for charities to deal with potential conflicts of interest as and when they arise. Charities' constitutions should include a conflict of interest policy, clearly setting out what could constitute conflicts of interest, and what steps will be taken to avoid them.
3. Ensuring independent decision-making
Many charities have close links to other bodies, for example those that are reliant on another body, such as the Scottish Government, for funding, or those that carry out a significant amount of work for another body.
Trustees must be able to demonstrate they are acting at all times in the best interests of their charity, and not any other external organisation.
The OSCR offers a number of useful practical tips to help charities demonstrate their independence. Examples include:
Conducting trustee meetings separately from those of any other body
Keeping independent financial records
Running a separate website, rather than having a section on a website of a linked body
Consequences of poor governance
A recent dispute over the former principal of a Scottish college's six-figure severance payment, is a reminder of why governance remains such an important issue for charities.
The dispute surrounded a payment given to the former principal at the time his college – a registered charity – merged with another.
Concerns were raised about the size of the payment, which equated to 21 months of his salary (the maximum outlined in SFC guidelines is 13 months' pay) and also on claims of a conflict of interest, as the principal was reportedly involved in helping to set his own severance package.
Auditor General Caroline Gardner described the situation as "one of the most serious failures in governance" she has encountered. The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) has taken legal steps to recover some of the money.
This case helps to demonstrate the importance for charities to establish good standards of governance, including clear processes to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Following the steps outlined above can help to minimise the risks of poor governance, and ensure your charity is able to function effectively.

A method of simultaneous identification of 25 molecules in human urine, bile and gastric contents using liquid-liquid extraction followed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) using multiple screening systems is described. The analytes were extracted at 25°C under isocratic conditions using chloroform after acidification with 1 to 2 drops of HCl 6 N for 10 mL of the biological sample, and dichloromethane after alkalization with 1 to 2 drops of NaOH 10 N for 10 mL of the biological sample. Employing LLE, the best conditions were achieved with double extraction of 10 mL of the biological sample, pH=9.5 for alkaline extraction and pH=2 for acid extraction. The organic extractums were filtered and dehydrated using anhydrous sodium thiosulfate powder and concentrated after evaporation of the organic solvents at 65°C. The extraction residues were solubilized in 500 µl of methanol and spotted with the molecules of reference onto four TLC plates (10 cm × 10 cm). The TLC plates were put into twin-through development chambers previously incubated 30 minutes for saturation namely TA (methanol:ammoniac 5% (50:0.750, v/v)), TD (chloroform:acetone (40:10, v/v)), TE (Ethyl acetate:methanol:ammoniac (42.3:5:2.5, v/v/v)), TB (cyclohexan:toluene:diethylamine (37.5:7.5:5, v/v/v)). The mobile phase migrates by capillarity through the stationary phase, driving at different speeds the molecules to be separated. The migration time (several minutes) depends on various parameters. When the solvent front has moved through a distance considered as sufficient (a few centimetres), the TLC plates were removed and dried, then exposed to ultraviolet light, the retardation factors Rf of each visible spot was measured. Some chemical processes might also be used to reveal spots. The total number of substances present in the biological sample was determined by counting the number of spots found on each TLC plate, the biggest number among the four counted values is considered as the default number of the present substances. A mathematical formula was applied to guess all possible matches according to a data table of Rf profiles of standards already calculated by the same method. The validation parameters obtained in LLE were linearly range of 50-1000 µg mL-1 biological fluid (r≥0.9815). This method has shown its suitable applicability in order to rapidly identify a wide verity of substances of toxicological interest present in the biological samples. Moreover, it's inexpensive and could be suggested in various routine drug screening processes, especially for toxicological/forensic analysis.
