Fatutaka (tikopianisch für "Abgeschiedener Stein"), auch bekannt als Fatu Taka, Patutaka, Fatacca, Mitre ( für "Bischofsmütze"), oder Fataka als lautmalerische Transkription aus der Tikopianischen Sprache, ist eine unbewohnte Vulkaninsel im südlichen Pazifischen Ozean. Sie liegt in der Gruppe der Santa-Cruz-Inseln und gehört politisch zur Provinz Temotu der Inselrepublik Salomonen. Fatutaka ist als östlichste Insel der Salomonen mehr als 1140 Kilometer von der Hauptstadt Honiara entfernt.

Naturraum

Geographie

Als östlichste Insel des Staates der Salomonen befindet sich Fatutaku rund 50 Kilometer südöstlich von Anuta. Fatutaka erhebt sich steil aus dem Meer und ist an klaren Tagen von Anuta aus deutlich zu sehen. Von Osten aus gesehen wird die Insel als "zwei Heuhaufen etwa gleicher Höhe" beschrieben, wobei der südliche zerklüfteter ist als der andere. Der steile Felsen an seiner Nordseite erinnert an ein Segelschiff. Tatsächlich ist der nordwestliche Gipfel mit 122 Metern etwas höher als der südöstliche, der eine Höhe von rund 104 Metern erreicht. Der nur wenige Meter vor der Nordseite gelegene, teils senkrecht aus dem Meer aufragende Felsen ist rund 44 Meter hoch. Der Sattel zwischen den beiden Gipfeln bei der Landenge, die die beiden Inselteile verbindet, senkt sich auf etwa 15 Meter über Meereshöhe.

Die Insel erstreckt sich von Nordwesten nach Südosten über eine Länge von einem Kilometer. Im Nordwesten erreicht sie ihre größte Breite von 300 Metern, während der südöstliche Teil nur etwa 130 Meter breit ist. Die beiden Inselteile sind durch eine Landenge miteinander verbunden und etwa gleich groß. Die Gesamtfläche beträgt rund 18 Hektar. Andere Quellen geben unplausibel große Flächen an wie 1,6 km², oder gar 5 km². Letzteres ist die Größenordnung für die Flächenausdehnung der untermeerischen Bank, auf der die Insel aufliegt und die auf dem Satellitenbild durch einen helleren Blauton zu erkennen ist. Auch die Angabe im Lonely-Planet-Reiseführer, wonach Fatutaka größer als das 37 Hektar große Anuta sei, widerspricht dem Satellitenbild.

Wie steil die Felsflanken der Insel teilweise sind, ergibt ein Vergleich etwa zwischen Breite (130 Meter) und Höhe (104 Meter) des zerklüfteten südlichen Teils der Insel.

Geologie

Fatutaka liegt regionalgeologisch betrachtet im nördlichen Teil des Neue-Hebriden-Inselbogen-Systems und bildet zusammen mit den Duff-Inseln und Anuta eine Kette von Inseln vulkanischen Ursprungs, deren Bildung im Zusammenhang mit der Subduktion der Australischen Platte unter die Pazifische Platte im Bereich des nördlichen Neue-Hebriden-Grabens steht. Es entsteht dabei unter anderem ein Backarc-Becken, ein Seebecken. Dabei kommt es zum Aufstieg von basaltischen Laven, die teilweise den Meeresspiegel erreichen und dort Inseln beziehungsweise Inselgruppen bilden können. Die plattentektonischen Bewegungen sind mit zahlreichen starken Erdbeben in dieser Region verbunden. Östlich der Inselkette ist eine weitere Grabenzone, der Vitias-Graben zu finden, die heute jedoch bereits inaktiv ist und eine frühere Subduktionslinie anzeigt.

Fatutaka ist also vulkanischen Ursprungs. Petrologisch besteht die Insel aus Basaltlava und Andesit in Form von Brekzien mit jeweils erhöhtem TiO2-Anteil. Das Alter des Vulkanismus, der zur Bildung der Insel führte, wird mit 2,2 Mio. ± 0,1 Mio. Jahren angegeben.

Flora und Fauna

Die Insel ist von Bäumen bedeckt, wobei die Nordseite mehr Vegetation aufweist als die anderen Seiten. Die ursprünglich auf Fatutaka wachsenden Kokospalmen und Yams wurden von den Bewohnern der Nachbarinsel Anuta entfernt, damit die Insel für Siedler unattraktiv blieb.

Die Insel wird von den Bewohnern der Nachbarinsel als Vogeljagdrevier genutzt. Charles M. Woodford erwähnte in einer Veröffentlichung 1916, dass Fregattvögel auf der Insel nisten. Ende der 1920er-Jahre unternahm der US-amerikanische Ornithologe Ernst Mayr Feldforschungen in Melanesien und Polynesien. Auf Fatutaka sichtete er drei Vogelarten: den Riffreiher (Egretta sacra), die Tongafruchttaube (Ducula pacifica) und eine Unterart der Braunkappen-Glanztaube (Chalcophaps longirostris sandwichensis). Alle drei Arten sind hier sesshaft, nur die beiden letzteren Arten aber brüten auf Fatutaka. Genauere Angaben oder gar eine Untersuchung der Vogelpopulation Fatutakas fehlen jedoch.

Die Malaria, welche auf vielen Inseln der Salomonen verbreitet ist, fehlt auf Fatutaka.

Geschichte

Eine dauerhafte Siedlung gibt es auf Fatutaka nicht, die Insel ist unbewohnt.

Präkoloniale Geschichte

Da der steinige Boden nicht besonders fruchtbar ist, fand die Insel keine landwirtschaftliche Nutzung, sondern dient als Fisch- und Jagdrevier. Die polynesischen Bewohner der benachbarten Insel Anuta nutzten bei Westwind Fatutaka für das Fischen. Zudem heißt es, sie hätten Haie gejagt, mehr wegen ihrer Zähne, die an Holz gebunden als Messer und Scheren verwendet wurden als wegen ihres Fleisches, wie Peter Dillon 1830 behauptete. Außerdem jagten sie Vögel und sammelten deren Eier.

Der höhere nordwestliche Gipfel wird von den Bewohnern Anutas Te Ufi (die Yams) genannt, und der südöstliche Gipfel Te Niu (die Kokosnuss), jeweils nach der früher dort anzutreffenden Vegetation. Die höchste Erhebung, auf dem Te Ufi gelegen, wird Mapuanga genannt. Eine Höhle auf Fatutaka heißt Te Ano o Pu Tafua, übersetzt Die Höhle des Ariki Tafua – Ariki Tafua ist die Bezeichnung für einen der vier Häuptlinge der Insel Tikopia. Insgesamt gebrauchen die Bewohner von Anuta als Eigentümer, Nutzer und beste Kenner von Fatutaka 30 geografische Bezeichnungen für Örtlichkeiten auf Fatutaka, darunter Zugangsrouten im Felsen (Roto te vai, Roto a maka) und Felsflanken (Te Maka Rai, Te Maka pu).

Von der europäischen "Entdeckung" bis zur Gegenwart

Der erste Europäer, der Fatutaka beschrieb, war Edward Edwards (1742–1815), ein Offizier der britischen Marine und Kapitän der Fregatte HMS Pandora, der die Insel am 12. August 1791 erreichte. Edwards' Aufgabe war es, nach Meuterern der Bounty zu suchen und diese gefangen zu nehmen. Er gab der Insel den Namen Mitre Island (deutsch: "Mützen-Insel"), da sie die Gestalt einer Bischofsmütze oder auch präziser gesagt ein Kap der Insel diese Gestalt habe.

Fatutaka wurde am 1. Oktober 1898 von Großbritannien in Besitz genommen, etwa gleichzeitig mit den übrigen Inseln der Salomonen, seit der Unabhängigkeit der Salomonen 1978 ist sie Teil des Inselstaates. Administrativ gehört sie zur Provinz Temotu.

In der letzten Dezemberwoche 2002 ging der Zyklon Zoe mit gesicherten Windgeschwindigkeiten von 287 km/h, möglicherweise sogar bis zu 305 km/h, über die Santa-Cruz-Inseln hinweg.

A FORMER Woolworths store which has stood empty for two years is set to be converted into a pub, despite traders' fears.
A planning application to turn the former Holywell shop into a new Wetherspoon's chain pub was approved by council planners this week.
The plans have prompted concerns from business owners in the town over the effect the chain, known for its budget prices, might have on their trade.
Holywell Town Council also raised objections to the loss of another retail unit in the town.
Speaking at a meeting last month mayor of Holywell Cllr Peter Curtis said: "I'm not against Wetherspoon's, it's the loss of retail area I'm opposed to.
But, according to county council policy, if a shop unit has been advertised for at least a year and not been sold, a change of use can be approved.
The store has been empty since Woolworths closed down two years ago.
The council has received nine letters of objection to the plans and three letters of support.
Town centre manager Medwyn Roberts has also voiced his concerns about the plans.
He said: "On the one hand the council is pumping a lot of money into regenerating Holywell town centre, but on the other hand it is destroying it by destroying our retail space.


Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes (1938) is more "just" a mystery or thriller, in our opinion.
The film centres on a train journey from a fictional European country to England. We first meet the train's passengers while they are stranded in an alpine town due to an avalanche.
This town shows little evidence of winter, let alone a close proximity to an avalanche zone, but never mind. We're here to observe the passengers because, as we all know, not everyone in a Hitchcock film is who they Appear To Be.
The passengers are mostly British – holidayers and business folk – returning to the U.K. from various parts of Europe. One passenger is a young woman (Margaret Lockwood) who is reluctantly terminating her continental adventures to go home and Get Married.
However, she meets another passenger – a handsome, unconventional young writer (Michael Redgrave) who is researching European folk dances. The two clash: She thinks he's careless; he finds her inflexible. This, of course, is moviespeak for Love At First Sight.
One of the more surprising passengers is Dame May Whitty, a kindly and aging governess who befriends Lockwood, asks her to tea on the train, then disappears.
She disappears from a moving train.
Lockwood reports Whitty's disappearance and discovers none of the other passengers will admit to having seen the governess. "There has been no English lady here," insists one woman.
A prominent European brain specialist (Paul Lukas) suggests Lockwood suffers from hallucinations caused by a minor head injury before she boarded the train. Lockwood herself starts to wonder if she's Losing Her Marbles.
Fortunately, Redgrave decides to humour Lockwood by making inquiries on her behalf. But he soon realizes Lockwood isn't Confused, and he tries to help her figure out how – and why – Whitty vanished.
A train is always superb environment for a mystery. Characters are confined to a small space, and there's No Escape until the train stops. However, in The Lady Vanishes, Lockwood and Redgrave face pressures from inside – and outside – the train.
First, let's examine the country in which the train has been stalled by the avalanche. We can assume, by the dress and accents of the locals, the country is Germany, possibly Bavaria.
As it turns out, the train never does cross the border of this country.
Next let's look at the passengers. The British travellers are, by and large, self-absorbed, oblivious to circumstances around them. It's not until Whitty disappears that Lockwood realizes things are Not As They Seem.
There are German and Italian passengers, as well and, without saying so outright, Hitchcock shows us there's something faintly sinister about them. They appear cordial, but after Whitty's disappearance, they insist she was never on the train. This makes Lockwood, and we the audience, Very Uneasy.
Soon Lockwood and Redgrave discover the truth, but – as is often the case – it only makes the Situation worse. When the train makes an unscheduled stop, local authorities are waiting and they Mean Business.
The Lady Vanishes was released in 1938, little more than a year before the declaration of WWII. With that in mind, it almost feels like a letter to a country on the eve of war. When you compare it to the history of WWII, it strikes us as a bit chilling.
The film is loosely based on a novel by British novelist Ethel Lina White, and it was the second-last film Hitchcock made in Great Britain before he left for the United States. He would release Jamaica Inn in 1939 before going to Hollywood to make some of his best-known films.
The Lady Vanishes is kind of a mess in places. There are some awfully convenient plot developments, and the Bad Guy is revealed too soon. But it's a fascinating postcard from the past, with interesting characters, clever lines and menacing undertones.
Plus, Whitty's disappearance is truly a mystery, and it leads to one of the biggest surprises in the film. But we won't say anything more; you'll want to discover it for yourself.

The Lady Vanishes: starring Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Written by Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder. Gaumont-British Picture Corp., 1938, B&W, 96 mins.
I love Dame Whitty too…in everything. She's one of my all-time faves.
Isn't this the one with the cricket lovers? Yes it was nice but it did have its faults. I preferred The 39 Steps.
I agree. The 39 Steps is a better film, in my opinion.
The romantic dynamic was far stronger and a tighter story with a more dramatic ending. And if we're talking funny minor characters I like the ones in Shadow of a Doubt.
I love Hume Cronyn in that film.
Every article on The Lady Vanishes attract my eyes. I LOVE this film!! (top 5) Thanks for the great review!
One of my favourites, in spite of its faults, alongside The 39 Steps. Thank you!
I now understand why Charters and Caldicott became an institution. I loved them in this film.
I've enjoyed both the book and the movie. Your review is equally entertaining. Thanks for writing this!
I need to read the book. Some pretty good reviews on Goodreads.
Me too! My husband doesn't even mind when I critique the movie while we're watching it. He's a gem.
I took a class on Hitchcock in college, and this is one of the few movies we DID NOT watch! 😦 Which is a shame, because it sounds really good!
What?! This film wasn't covered in your class? You should ask for a refund. 😉 Just kidding – I hope you get the chance to see it. I'd love to compare notes with you.
It is easy to see why this was such a hit for Hitchcock. I have been continually entertained by its atmosphere, characters and, humour for decades. It is the sort of movie I think I know inside-out, yet your eyes gave me fresh things to consider.
Haha! That is a great line. I adore Miss Froy, and I wonder if part of that is my admiration for Dame Whitty's charisma. She and Hitchcock never made another film together, did they?
I agree that it's "a bit of mess" and overrated when compared to Hitchcock's other British films of that period (e.g., THE 39 STEPS, YOUNG AND INNOCENT). Still, it's a modestly entertaining picture with a good cast.
Agreed. It does have a good cast and a lot of entertainment value.
I have not seen this one. Great review!
Thanks! This movie is definitely Hitchcockian. If you didn't know he directed it, you would still be able to tell.
I did a whole course on Hitchcock in university and although I never liked the man, I love his films, this one included. Can you believe my favourite is The Trouble With Harry?
I really like The Trouble With Harry, too. It's quirky and smart, and I like it doesn't have some of the darker themes of other Hitchcock films (I'm looking at you, Vertigo). Plus, Shirley MacLaine!
Thanks for participating. I enjoyed The Lady Vanishes the first time I saw it. I even put it in my top ten list for 1938. Revisiting it recently, however, I was disappointed. I found the time spent before boarding the train to be tedious. I like how you connect the film to the European political situation at the time.
Thanks! I felt the film was a little slow to get started, as you had mentioned, but things started to liven up once poor Margaret Lockwood was clunked on the head.
I keep meaning to look for Alfred Hitchcock's cameo at the train station, but always forget.
I see The Lady Vanishes as a thriller-comedy. I agree it's slow at first, you could just begin watching when they are on the station platform, as hardly anything important happens in the opening 30 minutes.
Good point – a person could start watching the film fro. The trai station platform scene.

Kimberley is located in British Columbia just 123 km from Fernie.
Like Fernie, Kimberley receives great weather. Cranbrook, located just 20 minutes south of Kimberley, gets the most hours of sunshine of anywhere in British Columbia making Kimberley an ideal resort for families.
With an elevation of 1,116 meters (3662 feet), Kimberley is the second highest city in Canada (Banff being the first).
It is the site of the Sullivan mine, one of the world's largest lead and zinc producers. The mine's owner, the prospector Pat Sullivan, founded the city of Kimberley when he staked his claim there in 1892. Originally called Mark Creek Crossing, it was renamed Kimberley in 1896 and incorporated as a city in 1944. As well as the many shops and restaurants Kimberley has to offer, other attractions include the Marysville Falls, Cominco Gardens, Bavarian City Mining Railway and the largest cuckoo clock in Canada.
For our international guests, Calgary International Airport YYC is the airport you would fly into and from there, you can either catch a flight to the Canadian Rockies International Airport (formally know as Cranbrook Airport) or take a private airport transfer service which takes about 4 hours each way. Another option is car rental which, unless you are an experienced winter driver, we do not recommend.
The nearby Kimberley Alpine Ski Resort has some ski-in/ski-out ski accommodations available and offers some fantastic cross-country skiing. When you ski at Kimberley Alpine Ski Resort, you also have the opportunity to use your ski pass at Fernie Alpine Resort for a day.

Q: PHP upload image replace old Ok so I am working on a backoffice at work.
This is my first experience on PHP so my code will most likely not be that great.
Here is what I am working on:
The client must be able to upload a image + title + description of a product, it must that show that product on the main page.
After that he must be able to delete or modify that item.
So the upload is working, I managed to show the product, delete it, and modify it.
The only problem is: When I modify with a new image it doesn't replace the old one in the directory (images take on the id of the sql input, example 0.jpg -> 1.jpg -2.jpg etc.)
So I will show here my upload script and modify :
Upload:
<?php
     include("config.php");

$dir = "../images/";
$dir = $dir . basename( $_FILES['image']['name']);
$title = $_POST['title'];
$description = $_POST['desc'];
$position = $_POST['position'];
$image = ($_FILES['image']['name']);
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$uploadedfiletype = $_FILES['image']['type'];

if (!($uploadedfiletype =="image/pjpeg" OR $uploadedfiletype =="image/jpeg" OR $uploadedfiletype =="image/jpg")){
      echo "Image must be jpg file";
}else if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $dir)){
    $sql="INSERT INTO test (title, description, position) VALUES ('$title','$description','$position')";
    if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)){
         die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
  $newname = "../images/" . mysql_insert_id() . ".jpg";
  rename ("../images/$image","$newname");
  $orig_image = imagecreatefromjpeg("../image/$newname");
  $sm_image = imagecreatetruecolor(96,96);
  imagecopyresampled($sm_image,$orig_image,0,0,0,0,96,96,imagesx($orig_image),imagesy($orig_image));
  imagejpeg($sm_image, $newname, 100);
  echo 'Upload good Retour';
}else{
    echo "Problem";
}
?>

And here is my modify script (basicly the same thing but with UPDATE for sql):
<?php

    include("config.php");

$dir = "../images/";
$dir = $dir . basename( $_FILES['image']['name']);
$title = $_POST['title'];
$description = $_POST['desc'];
$position = $_POST['position'];
    $id=$_POST['id'];
$image = ($_FILES['image']['name']);
$uploadedfile = $_FILES['image']['tmp_name'];
$uploadedfiletype = $_FILES['image']['type'];

unlink('../images/$id');

if (!($uploadedfiletype =="image/pjpeg" OR $uploadedfiletype =="image/jpeg" OR $uploadedfiletype =="image/jpg")){
      echo "L'image doit être en .jpg ou .jpeg";
}else if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $dir)){
  $sql="UPDATE test SET title='$title', description='$description' WHERE id='$id'";
    if (!mysql_query($sql)){
         die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
  }
  $newname = "../images/" . mysql_insert_id() . ".jpg";
  rename ("../images/$image","$newname");
  $orig_image = imagecreatefromjpeg("../image/$newname");
  $sm_image = imagecreatetruecolor(96,96);
  imagecopyresampled($sm_image,$orig_image,0,0,0,0,96,96,imagesx($orig_image),imagesy($orig_image));
  imagejpeg($sm_image, $newname, 100);
  echo 'Modif réussi Retour';
}else{
    echo "Un probleme est survenue";
}

 ?>

Thanks in advance for any help !

A: It seems you got a typo error near unlink('../images/$id'); I mean, PHP doesn't compile $id within the single quotes.
Try doing unlink("../images/$id"); or unlink('../images/'.$id);
If it still doesn't work, You might have a right issue. Try debugging it by doing var_dump(unlink("../images/$id")) if it returns false, it means deletion failed.
If so, try creating a new file, using a sha1 hash for example:
$dir = "../images/".sha1(rand())."-".basename( $_FILES['image']['name']);
This will create a new unique name for each uploaded file. It will store the old images, but under different name.
Just call them differently into your database

A: change in unlink('../images/$id');
assign '../images/$id' to a variable and then use : unlink($variable_name);
it will be good for you.

A: SELECT `AUTO_INCREMENT`
FROM  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'DatabaseName'
AND   TABLE_NAME   = 'TableName';

Ian McKellen Defends Controversial 'Cats' CGI: It's Not About Actors 'Being Convincing As Cats' (Exclusive)
By ETOnline.com. 3 Nov 2019 9:34 PM
James Veysey/Shutterstock
When the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway hit "Cats" first premiered, many viewers balked at the CGI transformations of the movie's actors into feline-human hybrids.
For Ian McKellen — who plays Gus the Theatre Cat in the upcoming musical — this uncanny combination of human performer and CGI cat is actually important to the point of the project, and is a perfect stage-to-screen translation of having actors wearing cat costumes.
ET's Rachel Smith recently sat down with McKellen — alongside his "The Good Liar" co-star, Helen Mirren — at the New York City press day for their upcoming mystery drama, where he opened up about his upcoming work in "Cats" and the film's polarizing graphics.
"The stage show, "Cats", was not about a lot of people being convincing as cats, but it was about human beings discovering their cat-like nature," McKellen shared. "And it was hugely successful."
"When it was now being done in film, the temptation I think must have been to turn those actors into cats, like "Lion King", and make them look like real cats, but they're not real cats," he added. "They're people playing cats, and that is the notion of the film, and it's been done very wittingly, I think, and particularly the dancers."
"To see a young person discovering the cat in them, your jaw just drops with delight," McKellen added. "Dame Judy [Dench] and I and James Corden and all the rest, Taylor Swift, we're all busy doing our version of cats."
The 80-year-old movie star quipped that not only does he perform "high kicks galore" in the upcoming film, he also signed on to some future follow-up projects.
"I'm going to make the sequel, which is called "Dogs"! Then we're doing "Ferrets", I think," McKellen joked. "[Then] "Hamsters"… we're doing a wonderful show called "Hamsters"."
Meanwhile, ET recently spoke with McKellen's Cats co-star, Rebel Wilson — who plays Jennyanydots in the upcoming musical — at the premiere of her new comedy, Jojo Rabbit, in October, and Wilson opened up on how she felt about the pushback against Cats' use of groundbreaking CGI.
"It's a new technology. When people saw "Avatar" they were also like, 'What is that?' Wilson shared. "So I think there was a little bit of that going on when they saw the "Cats" trailer because it's such a brand new technology."
"But personally I've seen bits of the film it's incredible it's amazing," Wilson added. "I can't wait for you guys to see that when it comes out in Christmas."
However, before "Cats" — or any of McKellen's fictitious-but-awesome ideas for potential sequels — hits theatres on Dec. 20, he and Mirren will be sharing the big screen in "The Good Liar", which also marks the first time the pair have appeared together in a film.
In "The Good Liar", McKellen stars as a career con artist who targets Mirren, a recently widowed woman now worth millions, by posing as a suitor through an online dating site. However, things get complicated as the two grow closer and their secrets are threatened.
So, why did it take so long for the two beloved Hollywood luminaries to come together? According to Mirren, "We never got asked."
"We would have done it years ago if someone had asked us," Mirren added.
"But you know, we're not wholly in charge of our own career," McKellen added. "You have to wait for the phone to ring!"
McKellen added that, having not seen the pair on screen together before "does add a piquance to the film" because of its novelty.
"Absolutely," Mirren said. "If I'd been Mrs. Gandalf or something, [people would think], 'Oh, here they come again.'"
"The Good Liar" — directed by McKellen's frequent collaborator and Oscar winner, Bill Condon — hits theatres Nov. 15.

Бейт-Альфа () — археологический памятник в Израиле с остатками древней синагоги византийского периода на Земле Израиля (примерно шестого века нашей эры) и национальный парк, расположенные у подножия северных склонов гор Гильбоа близ Бейт-Шеана в Израиле, находящиеся в ведении Управления природы и парков Израиля.

Синагога была обнаружена в конце 1928 года и раскопана в начале 1929 года. Результаты исследования синагоги были опубликованы в обзоре в 1932 году. Другое исследование было проведено в 1962 году Управлением древностей. В остатках более раннего здания синагоги, вероятно, датируемого V веком нашей эры, обнаружены остатки древнего мозаичного покрытия. По оценкам специалистов, более поздняя синагога, датируемая 6 веком нашей эры, была разрушена в результате землетрясения в 749 году или даже раньше. Части здания, которые упали на мозаичный пол, защищали его в дальнейшем от атмосферных воздействий.

История
Остатки синагоги были обнаружены в 1928 году во время рытья канала для транспортировки воды в кибуц Хефциба у подножия хребта Гильбоа. Поскольку не было найдено никаких упоминаний о еврейском поселении в этом районе, синагога была названа в честь соседнего кибуца Бейт-Альфа. В начале 1929 года Элазар Сукеник по поручению Еврейского университета начал археологические раскопки. Раскопки длились семь недель, после чего были обнаружены остатки мозаичного покрытия несущих стен. В марте 1929 года в Иерусалиме была открыта выставка экземпляров картин из обнаруженной мозаики. В апреле 1929 года, после окончания сезона дождей, народ стал стекался к Бейт-Альфа, чтобы увидеть мозаику, но мозаика была закрыта еще в начале мая по распоряжению государства. В начале 1930 года синагога была раскопана по всей структуре, было санкционировано государственное финансирование на защиту мозаики. Здание было передано в ведение Еврейского университета накануне праздника Шавуот в июне 1930 года.

Второй раунд раскопок, спонсируемый Управлением древностей Израиля в 1962 году, дополнительно исследовал жилые сооружения, окружающие синагогу.

Кроме того, клад из 36 византийских монет был найден в неглубокой впадине в полу апсиды.

Архитектура
Архитектурные остатки синагоги в Бейт-Альфа указывают на то, что когда-то синагога представляла собой двухэтажное базиликовое здание и содержала двор, вестибюль и молитвенный зал. Первый этаж молитвенного зала состоял из центрального нефа шириной 5,4 метра, апсиды, которая служила местом хранения для ковчега Торы, бимы, поднятой платформы, на которой читали свитки Торы и скамеек. Ковчег Торы в апсиде был ориентирован на юго-запад, в направлении Иерусалима.

Посвящающие надписи
Северный вход имеет две посвящающие надписи на арамейском и греческом языках. Хотя арамейская надпись частично разрушена, её наличие указывает на то, что синагога была построена во времена правления римского императора Юстина, вероятно, Юстина I (518–527 гг. н.э.), и финансировалась за счет общественных пожертвований. Греческая надпись благодарит ремесленников «Марианоса и его сын Ханина», которые также были перечислены как строители соседней синагоги Бейт-Шеан. Надписи расположены по бокам с обеих сторон льва и буйвола, которые служат символическими хранителями синагоги.

This week's episode of My Little Pony could have been good. Most of it was good. But there was one scene in the middle that was just so... so horrible that I was pacing back and forth not only cringing but with my hands over my face, praying for it to end, and it wouldn't, and the only thing that kept me from turning off the television was the knowledge that if I did, I'd have to watch the scene again because I'd want to know how the episode ended.
The second time I watched it, I distracted myself by counting how many seconds the scene went on, and deducting a point from the episode's score for each second. So to get it out of the way, this episode gets a rating of -81/3.
I don't know what I'll do if I ever watch the episode again. Maybe fast forward.
The rest of the episode's treatment of Spike was actually kind of fun. "Mr. The Dragon! This is the signal. I'm giving you the signal now!" "Oh Great and Honorable Spike The Brave and Glorious, can I get your autograph?" "Now that I can light things on fire with my mind, telepathy can't be far behind. Wait for it... I've got it! You want me to light something on fire... with my mind!"
And he got to save the day from the Ice Cloud of Doom without everyone else standing around uselessly for no reason just to build suspense (*cough* Maud Pie). Ponies were actually trying to help and probably would have managed to at least crash the thing in the empty field.
Pinkie Pie was also a treat. "Want to come freak out with me over the medal count? I'll show you how!"
And the magical TSA... let's just say that that didn't look like *light* magic.
But that one scene... with Spike, and the Cloudsdale Anthem. That was unforgivable. That was a WAR CRIME. Even without a war.

by Harper Lee
Atticus says if he didn't take Tom's case he couldn't make Jem or Scout mind him. Why not?
Atticus says this because if he hadn't have taken the case, he would've been a hypocrite. He knew that Tom had a right to a fair trial, and if he had swayed to public opinion and neglected to give him one, he would've been going against his belief in justice.
At the beginning of chapter 9, Scout asks her father if he is defending a black man. Atticus then explains to Scout that he is defending a black man named Tom Robinson and mentions that it is a peculiar case. Scout then asks her father why he is defending Tom when the community disagrees with his decision, and Atticus tells her:
For a number of reasons. . . . The main one is, if I didn't I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't represent this county in the legislature, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again (Lee, 78).
Atticus is essentially saying that if he did not defend Tom Robinson, he would be considered a hypocrite, which is why Jem and Scout would not have to mind him anymore. Atticus is a morally upright individual, who believes in equality and justice. If Atticus did not defend Tom Robinson, he would be no better than the misguided racists who are willing to convict Tom simply because he is black. It is important for Atticus to demonstrate his integrity through his actions, which is why he plans to defend Tom in front of the prejudiced community.

In chapter 9, Cecil Jacobs tells Scout at school that her father "defends ni***rs". When Scout asks her father about what Cecil meant by that, he says that some people around town don't believe that he should defend Tom Robinson. Scout wonders why he is doing it if people say he shouldn't. Atticus responds with the following:
"For a number of reasons. . . The main one is, if I didn't I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't represent this county in the legislature, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something. . . because I could never ask you to mind me again" (75-76).
Basically, Atticus is saying that he would be a hypocrite if he didn't take Tom Robinson's case. Atticus would be going against his conscience if he didn't stand up for what he knows is right. He knows that a black man deserves a fair trial just like a white man does. Some people in Maycomb don't believe this because they are prejudiced and racist. Atticus knows how people in Maycomb will go to church and preach "love one another," but then treat black people terribly. Atticus won't be like those people because he knows better and he believes better. Thus, if Atticus didn't take the case, then he would be a hypocrite. According to that line of thinking, Atticus also believes that his children wouldn't have to obey a hypocrite; therefore, they wouldn't have to mind him if he turned into one. He would lose credibility as a father if he were a hypocrite, too. It's tough for children to hear dad teach them to stand up for what is right at home, but then he doesn't go and do the same thing himself.

Congress slips to fourth place in Maharashtra
In the outgoing assembly, it was the main opposition party but current trends indicate that the Nationalist Congress Party, its ally, will now take that mantle.

The Congress, which has been the main opposition party in the state for the past five years, has slipped to the fourth position in Maharashtra with a lead in just 35 seats. The absence of coordination among leaders, the lack of a face at the state level, and the party's hollowing out nationally, have all contributed to the 134-year-old party's poor performance, according to analysts.
While the NCP is leading in 52 seats, despite a near-exodus of leaders from its party to the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress looks set to do worse than it did in 2014 when it won 42 seats in the 288-member assembly. The NCP won 41 then.

"It is true that we could have done better at least in Vidarbha and Western Maharashtra, but we failed to galvanise people. Our central leaders hardly participated in the campaign and the state leaders had to concentrate on their respective constituencies. We also lacked a face, which could have charged up cadre at the ground level," said a Congress leader who spoke on condition of anonymity.

At ConfiDental, we do not ask for an advance deposit, but we do require that payment for dental services is made before starting any dental procedure.
Costa Rica requires you to report if you are bringing more than $10,000 into Costa Rica. To avoid any complications, we advise you to bring less than $10,000 in cash.
ATM machines are readily available in Costa Rica. The limit is $400/day and they charge $3 for each transaction. Your bank can tell you if or what they charge on their end, but it's usually $2 to $5.
We accept all major credit or debit cards.
In order to avoid delays and complications in scheduling, if you are paying by credit/debit card, please remember to call your bank before you come to let them know you will be traveling out of the country and to not block purchases.
Your dental care will be priced for cash payment. If you would like to use a credit card, you will need to pay a 5% fee, which is what the banks charge our clinic for processing credit card payments. To get the best prices on your dental care, please plan to pay in cash.
Travelers' Checks: Travelers checks are not popular in Costa Rica. You would need to find a bank here that will cash them for you prior to your procedure. American Express lists various branches of Scotiabank as places that will cash them.
Personal Checks: Costa Rica banks hold personal checks for up to 30 days before they clear.
Cashier or Bank Checks: They are not negotiable instruments here as they are in the USA, so the banks hold them like a personal check.

Q: Вывод данных из checkbox в другой div Есть список из checkbox-ов.

При нажатии на любой из чекбоксов его данные (текст checkbox 1/2/3/4/5) выводятся в div блок. Важно, чтобы чекбокс выбирался по одному, а не несколько. Допустим нажали на checkbox 1 - он вывелся, а если нажать на checkbox 2 - checkbox 1 пропадает и на его место встаёт checkbox 2.

A: Описанное поведение является естественным для input type="radio":

const output = document.getElementById('output');

onChangeValue();

function onChangeValue(){
    output.textContent = document.querySelector('input[name="rval"]:checked').value;
}

<input type="radio" value="radio1" onchange="onChangeValue()" name="rval" checked>
Radio1

<input type="radio" value="radio2" onchange="onChangeValue()" name="rval">
Radio2

<input type="radio" value="radio3" onchange="onChangeValue()" name="rval">
Radio3

<input type="radio" value="radio4" onchange="onChangeValue()" name="rval">
Radio4

Если именно checkbox нужны, то можно сымитировать:

const output = document.getElementById('output');

onChangeValue(document.querySelector('[name="rval"]:checked'));

function onChangeValue(el){
    document.querySelectorAll('[name="rval"]').forEach(inp => {
        inp.checked = false;
    });
    el.checked = true;
    output.textContent = el.value;
}

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox1" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval" checked>
Checkbox1

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox2" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox2

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox3" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox3

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox4" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox4

Если нужна возможность оставить без выбора:

const output = document.getElementById('output');

onChangeValue(document.querySelector('[name="rval"]:checked'));

function onChangeValue(el){
    document.querySelectorAll('[name="rval"]').forEach(inp => {
        if(el!=inp) inp.checked = false;
    });
    output.textContent = el.checked ? el.value : 'NOTHING';
}

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox1" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval" checked>
Checkbox1

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox2" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox2

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox3" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox3

<input type="checkbox" value="checkbox4" onchange="onChangeValue(this)" name="rval">
Checkbox4

A: Лучшебы что-то реактивное, но вот нативный JS

const checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]');
const resultDiv = document.querySelector('.result__num');

const countChecked = () => Object.values(checkboxes).filter(el =>
  el.checked
).length;

const onchange = (e) => {
  resultDiv.innerText = countChecked()
}

checkboxes.forEach((checkbox) => checkbox.addEventListener('change', onchange, false))
.result {
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  top: 0;
  padding: 20px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

.result__num {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 2em;
  margin-left: 10px;
}

  Результат: 0

  <input type="checkbox" name="f1" />

  <input type="checkbox" name="f2" />

  <input type="checkbox" name="f3" />

Flex-Deon Blake, de son vrai nom Kevin Moss, né le  à Miami (Floride) et mort le  à Atlanta en Géorgie des suites d'une longue maladie, est un acteur pornographique homosexuel afro-américain.

Il est apparu dans plus d'une cinquantaine de films, dont certains ont été produits par des sociétés telles que SX Video, Bacchus, Catalina Video, Dick Wadd puis Forbidden Funk Media. Flex-Deon Blake s'est illustré dans différents genres de films : interracial, racial, bareback et SM.

Depuis 2008, il n'était plus présent dans l'industrie du X. Sa popularité s'est accrue lorsqu'il a formé un couple avec Bobby Blake, une autre star du X, à la fin de la décennie 1990.  Dans les films, il  est reconnaissable à son corps musclé, ses tatouages et ses piercings, dont un Prince Albert.

Biographie

Avant le porno
Kevin Moss a passé sa jeunesse à Miami en Floride, dans une famille chrétienne. Cadet de trois sœurs, il a grandi avec des parents très croyants.

Après ses études au collège, il décida de joindre, au début des années 1980, la US Air Force. Il est envoyé dans les différentes bases américaines au Japon, en Italie et en Grèce. Il se marie afin d'éviter tout soupçon sur son orientation sexuelle. Mais ce mariage, dont sont issus deux enfants, ne tient que trois ans.

En 1992, il décide de quitter l'armée après plus de dix ans de bons et loyaux services. Il retourne dans sa ville natale, Miami, et poursuit des études supérieures en musique. Il travaille aussi en tant qu'agent correctionnel dans la prison d'État de Floride. Ce travail fut une grande expérience pour lui, car il lui a permis de mieux comprendre les êtres humains. Après la mort de ses parents, disparus à seulement trois mois d'intervalle, Kevin décide de céder à une passion d'enfance: travailler dans le monde du divertissement pour adultes.

Carrière pornographique
C'est en 1995 qu'un photographe l'encourage, vu sa beauté et son physique, d'entrer dans le divertissement pour adultes. Avec son  et ses  de muscles, il débute ainsi comme strip-teaseur avant de poser pour des revues gays de renom, notamment Black Inches, Black Gay Men et AVN Magazine.

Il entre peu après dans le monde du X et prend successivement les pseudonymes de Deon, Sexy Boy Flex et enfin Flex-Deon Blake. C'est sous ce nom qu'il est le plus connu à partir de 1998, année où il fait la rencontre de Bobby Blake qui sera son compagnon durant deux ans. Ils seront les acteurs fétiches du réalisateur Edward James, pour qui ils tournent Black Power et plusieurs autres films.

Tandis que Bobby Blake quitte le milieu du porno en 2001, Flex-Deon Blake poursuit sa carrière. Il se lance dans le bareback en tournant d'abord le controversé Nigga's Revenge pour Dick Wadd. Il enchaîne entre 2003 et 2005, cinq films pour SX Video : Bareback Wood Workers, Nasty Men, Bareback Orgy 2, Barebacking With Jeff Palmer 2 et Barebacking With Jeff Palmer 3. Il est ensuite apparu dans deux films de Forbidden Funk Media : Code Black et Blak. Dans Code Black, il a joué pour la première fois un rôle passif devant la caméra en acceptant qu'un autre acteur pratique sur lui le fist-fuckin. Il a déclaré que dans la vie, il était plutôt versatile. Depuis 2013, une vidéo amateur de quelques minutes circule sur le net montrant Flex en passif en train d'avoir une relation sexuelle avec un jeune homme d'une vingtaine d'années. Plusieurs internautes auraient reconnu l'ex star du porno gay dans cet extrait mais aucune confirmation n'a été faite de sa part. En 2019, il ouvre un compte sur le site pour adultes Just For Fans où il poste quelques photos récentes de lui.

BrothasNDaSpirit
Flex-Deon Blake a pour devise: « Be proud of who you are and who God made you ». À côté de ses activités dans l'industrie pour adultes, il encourage depuis 2005, à travers son ministère on line nommé BrothasNDaSpirit, les gays chrétiens à être ce qu'ils sont et à ne pas avoir honte de leur orientation sexuelle. Il est ainsi venu en aide à des personnes qui avaient perdu confiance en eux et en Dieu.

Il a créé, en 2006, sa propre maison de production Flex-Deon Blake Production, qui n'a, à ce jour, produit aucun film. Cependant, FDB Production réalise de petits films de prédication sur le net. En 2009, Flex-Deon Blake a fait l'objet d'une étude à travers le livre Unlimited Intimacy: Reflections on the Subculture of Barebacking de Tim Dean. L'auteur qui est professeur à l'université de Buffalo explore à travers cet ouvrage la manière dont les tabous sont transgressés dans le film X interracial Nigga's Revenge.

Selon le site Brothasndaspirit.com, Flex-Deon Blake a quitté Ontario près de Los Angeles en Californie, où il résidait depuis quelques années, pour s'installer à Dallas (Texas) en 2008. De  à mars 2021, il  vit à Atlanta en Géorgie où il meurt des suites  d'une longue maladie. La nouvelle de sa mort a été diffusée par ses amis et ses fans à travers les réseaux sociaux. Edgar Gaines alias Bobby Blake, son ancien compagnon, lui a rendu hommage.

Récompense
Il a été introduit au Wall of Fame des Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards en 2004.

On September 5, 1774 the delegates from 12 British Colonies gathered and formed the First Colonial Continental Congress of the United Colonies of America. On July 2, 1776 the Second Colonial Continental Congress declared 12 British colonies as Free and Independent States thus becoming the US Continental Congress. On March 1, 1781 the Constitution of 1777 was ratified replacing the US Continental Congress with the United States in Congress Assembled.
Notwithstanding New York's July 9th approval, the passage of Lee's Resolution and even John Adams ' letter to Abigail declaring that "The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America",  July 4th has been heralded as the birthdate of the United States of America since 1777. Indeed, July 4th has remained sacrosanct despite the enactment of two distinctly different U.S. Constitutions in 1781 and again in 1789 that reformulated the United States' federal government.
U.S. governmental authorities universally agree that the birth year of the current U.S. Republic is 1776 and not 1781 (when the Articles of Confederation was ratified), or 1784 (when the Treaty of Paris was ratified ending the war with Great Britain ), or September 17, 1787 (when the Philadelphia Convention produced the current U.S. Constitution), or March 4, 1789, when the current tripartite system began to govern the United States of America. It is remarkable, however, that, while July 4th, 1776, stands as the nation's birth date John Hancock , the DOI 's presidential signer, is passed over by the same governmental authorities as the first U.S. Head of State .
Similarly, Samuel Huntington, the first President under the Articles of Confederation, is also passed over as President of the United States in America in Congress Assembled. In contrast, these same officials recognize Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General who served not under the current U.S. Constitution but under the colonial resolution known as the Articles of Association from July 26, 1775 to November 10, 1776.
Setting these inconsistencies aside, the question that is most pertinent to this chapter remains: Why does the U.S. Government, since 1777, celebrate the 4th of July as Independence Day and not the 2nd of July?
When the twelve United Colonies of America declared their independence on July 2nd the Declaration of Independence (DOI ) was already before the Colonial Continental Congress for its consideration. The first draft was read before the delegates on Friday June 28, 1776, and then ordered to lie on the table over the weekend for their review. On Monday, July 1st, the DOI was read again to the "Committee of the Whole." The DOI was debated along with the much shorter Lee Resolution.
The 12 Colonies, whose members were empowered to declare independence, were unable to garner the necessary 12 delegation votes to make the measure unanimous. Accordingly, it was decided to postpone the vote on independence until the following day, July 2nd, and the 12 colonial delegations passed the Lee's Resolution declaring their independence from Great Britain . The DOI , however, was quite another matter; Committee of the Whole Chairman Benjamin Harrison requested more time and the members agreed to continue deliberations following day.
… that an application be made to the committee of safety of Pennsylvania for a supply of flints for the troops at New York : and that the colony of Maryland and Delaware be requested to embody their militia for the flying camp, with all expedition, and to march them, without delay, to the city of Philadelphia .
The Declaration of Independence proclaimed why "… these United Colonies are, and, of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States …"  and its content served to justify the Colonial Continental Congress July 2nd vote declaring independence. It was the rhetoric in the DOI and not Lee's Resolution that exacted the vote for independence on July 2nd, 1776, from the 12 state delegations. Moreover, the July 4th, 1776, resolution included naming the Second United American Republic which was not incorporated in Lee's Resolution. It is also important to note that the name, United States of America, was not utilized on any of the Continental Congress resolutions or bills passed after Lee's Resolution on July 2nd up until the passage of the DOI on July 4th, 1776.
It is true that in Thomas Jefferson's DOI drafts, the word "States" was substituted for "Colonies" in the stile, or name, "United Colonies of America ." It is also true that Jefferson's substitution was in accordance with Lee's Resolution that asserted the "United Colonies" were to be "free and independent States." The new republic was not named the "United States," however, until the Declaration of Independence 's adoption on July 4, 1776.
The naming of this new republic was no small matter, and the topic would be addressed again in later deliberations on the Articles of Confederation and the current U.S. Constitution.  As noted earlier, the 1775 Articles of Confederation and Declaration for Taking up Arms initially named the First United American Republic the United Colonies of North America . The name was only shortened by the Continental Congress to the United Colonies of America in 1776. We must, therefore, pay heed to the fact that the nation's name was adopted on July 4th, 1776, with the passage of the Declaration of Independence and not on July 2nd with the enactment of Lee's Resolution . This circumstance, coupled with the nearly completed Declaration of Independence being laid before the members on June 28th and present during the July 2nd vote, explicates why the 4th and not the 2nd was designated Independence Day by the Continental Congress and was accepted as such by the then future congresses of the United States of America.
Nevertheless, for the purposes of establishing the start of the Second United American Republic, we must be more precise in our determination. The United Colonies of America severed their allegiance to Great Britain on July 2nd, 1776. The new independent republic of free and independent states enacted resolutions  on the Second, Third, and Fourth of July before passing the Declaration of Independence . This Assembly, just like Carpenters' Hall 's unnamed Congress,  formed a United American Republic by enacting bills, resolutions and other legislation on behalf of their now independent states. July 2nd, 1776, therefore, marks the end of the United Colonies of America and the beginning of the Second United American Republic: The United States of America, Thirteen Independent States United in Congress.
Having established the starting point for the Second United American Republic, we – like the Continental Congress – should turn to a consideration of that Republic's governance. As we shall see, the process of articulating the document that became the "Articles of Confederation " was not simple. Moreover, although this first constitution of the United States of America was passed by the Continental Congress on November 15th, 1777, the Articles required unanimous ratification. For three years the Continental Congress would govern under a body of laws that were co-mingled with the future laws in the Articles of Confederation.
That eighty copies, and no more, of the confederation, as brought in by the committee, be immediately printed, and deposited with the secretary, who shall deliver one copy to each member: That a committee be appointed to superintend the press, who shall take care that the foregoing resolution [Articles of Confederation ].
 Hereinafter referred to as the Lee's Resolution.
 On July 9th, 1776 the New York Provincial Congress assembled in the White Plains Court House and adopted the July 4, 1776 resolution heartedly supported by John Jay who had rushed from New York City to address that body: "That reasons assigned by the Continental Congress for declaring The United Colonies Free and Independent States are cogent and conclusive, and that now we approve the same, and will at the risque of our lives and fortunes, join with the other colonies in supporting it." - New York Provincial Congress, Resolution supporting the Declaration of Independence , July 9, 1776.
 John Hanson, "United States in Congress Assembled Proclamation. "The Freeman's Journal, October 16, 1782, Number LXXVII, p. 3.
 In the first three United American Republics, the signature of U.C. and U.S. Presidents are not required to enact any Congressional legislation. These founding presidents, unlike the current U.S. Presidents, had one vote in their respective state delegations in the "one state one vote" unicameral congressional system. In the Fourth American Republic , Article I of the Current U.S. Constitution requires every bill, order, resolution or other act of legislation by the Congress of the United States to be presented to the U.S. President for his approval. The President can either sign it into law, return the bill to the originating house of Congress with his objections to the bill (a veto), or neither sign nor return it to Congress. If he does the latter and Congress remains in session for ten days exempting Sundays, the bill becomes law. If during those ten days Congress adjourns than the bill does not become a law.

 After the passage of Lee's resolution the Continental Congress enacted that "In obedience to their order, Captain Whipple and Captain Saltonstal were come to Philadelphia ; Whereupon, Resolved, That the Marine Committee be directed to enquire into the complaints exhibited against them, and report to Congress." On the third of July seven different resolutions were passed, and finally on the Fourth of July they "Resolved, That an application be made to the committee of safety of Pennsylvania for a supply of flints for the troops at New York : and that the colony of Maryland and Delaware be requested to embody their militia for the flying camp, with all expedition, and to march them, without delay, to the city of Philadelphia."

Microsoft has installed a new news filter into its Edge mobile web browser, which provides users with uninvited assessments of the credibility of various news outlets. Predictably, the scoring of Microsoft's filter is heavily biased towards establishment and legacy media outlets.
Microsoft's filter, called "Newsguard," assigns a "red," or unreliable, scoring to several outlets that present a conservative or anti-establishment perspective. Some platforms it deems to be dangerous to Edge users include Breitbart, the Daily Mail and Drudge Report.
All of these platforms are widely popular and well read, with the Daily Mail being the third-highest circulating digital news outlet in the United Kingdom, and the Drudge Report serving as the most widely viewed news aggregator in the United States for at least a decade.
Wikileaks is also given a red scoring for supposed unreliability, despite never releasing inauthentic documents and serving as a neutral political accountability platform.
Ironically, some of the outlets given a "green" or credible scoring by Microsoft's Edge filter have a track record of spreading some of the infamous fake news stories in recent memory. Buzzfeed was laughably assessed as credible- despite getting busted promoting a totally fake conspiracy theory about President Trump instructing Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about his plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Microsoft's news filter extension- hoisted upon the browser without any input from users requesting its implementation- represents the latest attempt from big technology companies to control and siphon the political content viewed by its consumers. No longer do companies such as Microsoft seek to offer a service to people as their defining mission, instead opting to create an environment where their behavior can be controlled by small teams of centrally-located corporate authoritarians.
Leading neoconservatives and career establishment foreign policy operatives such as Deep State-linked former CIA Director Michael Hayden are said to have played a role in the design and implementation of Microsoft's new news filter, according to a report by Breitbart's Allum Bokhari.


The 2004-2005 season started with a bit of apprehension. The team had a new head coach, Ahmil Jihad. The team was young, but has had some success. Could the team take the next step and move up in the standings.
The team opened the conferenceseason with the defending State Class AAA champion North Polars. The Polars won 11 straight conference titles and 99 straight conference games. Their last loss was in February, 1996. The Tigers had a major hill to climb. The game started with the Tigers coming out fast. Some thought the Polars were playing flat. Whatever the description, the Tigers did not give up. North tried to come back, but the Tigers pushed back the Polar rush. In the end, the Tigers ended the Polar dominance, broke their winning streak and WON 69-50!!!
The win gave the Tigers confidence and they continued winning. Edison fell 78-37. Southwest was then defeated. The score was not reported. Roosevelt lost to the Tigers 72-18.
The Tigers were flying high when they met Washburn. Washburn was also undefeated at the time. The game would be for sole possession of first place. The game was close, but the Miller ended up winning 51-44. Because North lost to Washburn the game prior, South had sole possession of second place.
The team strung together more wins. They defeated Edison by 20, 64-44. Southwest played the Tigers close, but South won again 45-41. Roosevelt then lost 69-31. The next game came against Washburn. Washburn was in first place, but not perfect. The previous game, North defeated Washburn, so the team was playing for a share of first place. The entire game was close. It came down to the end, with the Tigers winning 60-57. After this game, there was a three way tie for first place, with North, Washburn and South all having lost two games.
The team ended the conference season with a 59-43 win over Henry. North ended their conference season the prior game with a 10-2 record. South now had a 10-2 record. Would there be a two-way or three-way tie. Word came in from the Washburn game. Washburn won and also had a 10-2 record.
South would represent Minneapolis in the Twin City game against St. Paul Conference champion St. Paul Central. The game was close, but Central took home the trophy with a 53-48 win.
In non-conference games that were reported, South beat St. Paul Como Park 62-51 and St. Paul Highland Park 51-35.
The Tigers won the Region tournament and made it to the State Tournament. Unfortunately, they lost in the first round.
At the end of the season, Tayler Hill was named to the All-Conference team.

Observing healthcare provider's recommendations of fenugreek in daily clinical practice and why it was suggested for breastfeeding females could have shown other findings. Second, in this study, we did not classify possible harms and positive aspects into major harms and minor harms. Nevertheless, this classification goes beyond the scope and objectives of this study. Third, we did not hierarchize the prospective harms and advantages in order of importance. The hierarchy would have helped healthcare providers to prioritize the details to be communicated and discussed in case they did not have enough time to go more than all potential benefits and harms.
Preceding report on the effects of fenugreek oil on the pancreas in an Alloxan induced diabetic rat model showed that pancreatic cell damage and renal function had been slightly reversed following treatment with fenugreek oil. Fenugreek is a plant extensively consumed in unique parts of the planet.

Lowering Blood Sugar
Traditionally, herbal treatments have been viewed as very good alternatives to prescription drugs . Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a pungent, flavorful seed typically utilized to add a pop of flavor to a meal. Fenugreek, also identified as methi, is a warming spice that kindles the digestive fire and supports the body's capacity to break down food and preserve a comfy digestive expertise.
Similarly, some breastfeeding females could be taking diuretics, laxatives, mineralocorticoids, or other hypokalemic agents. The panelists in this study had been of the opinion that breastfeeding women really should be warned that fenugreek might worsen their hypokalemia. In this study, consensus was accomplished in both panels on 14 possible added benefits of utilizing fenugreek to boost human milk supply that require to be communicated to and discussed with breastfeeding women through the consultation. A detailed list of these possible positive aspects is shown in Table 4.
Right here we provide a extensive evaluation of fenugreek seed extract treatment on the pancreas, liver, and kidneys both biochemically and histologically. Induction of diabetes was confirmed biochemically with elevated blood glucose levels, as well as histologically with islets of the pancreas showing indicators of destruction on histological examination. Fenugreek has also been noted to protect against oxidative liver damage. A 60-day study on rats found that a water extract of fenugreek seeds given orally had a good protective effect on liver enzymes.
The administration of Fenugreek improves renal function also by significantly decreasing calcification processes in the renal tissue, increasing the level of antioxidant protection, and reducing oxidative stress displays including lipid peroxidation inhibition [34, 35].
Some breastfeeding girls could be at threat of hypotension or hypoglycemia and should really be warned against these dangers when making use of fenugreek. The blood pressure and blood glucose levels of some breastfeeding girls may be controlled by drugs. Applying fenugreek may well have damaging consequences of these controlled levels and therefore, breastfeeding girls at threat ought to be warned.
In addition, a blend of 900 mg fenugreek in conjunction with 3.5g creatine monohydrate appeared to be as successful at escalating lean body mass and strength more than eight weeks as creatine alongside 70 g dextrose, according to another study. Also, some investigation suggests fenugreek could help eye overall health.
This consensual core list of prospective harms and positive aspects could possibly promote congruence in daily healthcare delivery. The only previous meta-analysis of the effects of fenugreek on glycemia integrated only two clinical trials as compared with ten in the current meta-evaluation . Strengths of our study integrated the comprehensive literature search leading to the identification of a reasonably significant quantity of trials and a detailed evaluation of potential sources of heterogeneity in study outcomes. Our study also has numerous limitations that want to be regarded as in the interpretation of the results. First, the top quality of the included trials was normally poor.
Nevertheless, a important improve in HDL levels was demonstrated only just after every day injections, compared to diabetic rats, as opposed to other therapy groups which did not show a substantial raise in HDL levels. No effects on total cholesterol levels were observed in any of the treatment groups.
Cholesterol findings are somewhat in disagreement with prior reports , exactly where a dose of 500 mg/kg for four weeks brought on improvement in lipid profile . This distinction could possibly be due to the lower dose used in the present study (100 mg/kg).
These disease therapy are offered in indigenous program of literature i.e. AYUSH literature but there are tiny data being contemporary in contemporary parameters of outcome. Sprouted fenugreek seeds have wonderful positive aspects on the metabolic diseases and therefore we can use these seeds as a substantial number of nutraceuticals. These sprouted fenugreek seeds lower the absorption of glucose from the big intestine and improves beta cells generation in the pancreatic Islet's of Langerhans. Also imparts the antioxidant home on numerous systems to safeguard from absolutely free radical's generation.
A judgmental sampling technique was made use of to recruit panelists who had been healthcare providers that had been normally consulted by breastfeeding females searching for suggestions to improve their human milk supply. Possible panelists were identified by private contacts in the field. Field researchers approached in particular person and invited the possible panelists to participate as panel members in the current study. Field researchers explained the design and objectives of the study to possible panelists and obtained their verbal consent prior to participation.
Tests for publication bias are primarily based on detecting differences in effect sizes by study precision with a higher impact size for less precise ('smaller') studies suggesting the presence of publication bias. In our meta-evaluation less precise research were also much more likely to use bigger doses of fenugreek.
A lot of females reported that fenugreek significantly increased their breast milk production, helping them improved nurse their young children. There had been also numerous situations of fenugreek successfully lowering blood sugar in people today with diabetes.
However, these agents have not received approval as safe and productive galactogogues from any health regulatory authority and presently are becoming made use of "off-label" . In addition, these agents are excreted in human milk and hence bear prospective side effects and harms to infants [10–12]. Additionally, small guidance is out there on the appropriate dosage of these agents when made use of as galactogogues . Therefore, interventions to boost human milk supply making use of pharmacological agents could possibly be complex by security issues to women and their infants.
Germination of the fenugreek seeds may well improve the soluble fiber content of the seeds, thus improving their effect on cholesterol. Fenugreek powder is frequently taken in amounts of 10 to 30 grams three times per day with meals.
Fenugreek has long been used to treat conditions that lead to dry, irritated skin, including dandruff — a condition marked by an itchy, flaking scalp. In some cases, these symptoms could lead to temporary hair loss.
Fenugreek extract has also been shown to increase the quantity and function of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and improve blood sugar control, lipid levels, and antioxidant capacity in animal models of type 1 diabetes. The effects of fenugreek seed extract on lipid profile in the current study showed a significant reduction in triglyceride levels compared to diabetic rats.
Fenugreek is especially beneficial for vata-variety digestion where there is a tendency for gas or bloating right after meals. To release the complex, nutty aroma of fenugreek, dry roast the seeds in a pan just before grinding them into a powder, or add them whole into soups, dal, curries, sautéed vegetables, or roasted potatoes. As a women's tonic, fenugreek nourishes rasa dhatu, supporting the healthier production of breast milk and acting as a rejuvenative to the female reproductive system. Aside from its use as a culinary spice, fenugreek seeds can be steeped as a tea, or sprouted into fresh and flavorful greens. Fenugreek seeds are higher in soluble fiber, which aids reduced blood sugar by slowing down carbohydrate digestion and absorption.
Proof supporting the use of fenugreek seeds for hair growth is relatively weak. It is unclear whether or not taking supplements or applying the extract topically has effective effects on hair development or scalp wellness. The architecture of the pancreatic tissue correlates with the stage of diabetes and its severity . In the current study immediately after STZ injection, diabetic rats showed damage to the pancreatic islet cells and severe pathological changes to exocrine and endocrine elements, which is constant with preceding findings . Diosgenin also enhanced blood glucose levels maintenance and preserved the pancreas, liver, and skeletal muscle tissues .
seeds contain compounds recognized as steroidal saponins that inhibit each cholesterol absorption in the intestines and cholesterol production by the liver. Numerous human trials (some double-blind) have discovered that fenugreek could enable decrease total cholesterol in men and women with moderate atherosclerosis or these having insulin-dependent or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. One particular human double-blind trial has also shown that defatted fenugreek seeds may possibly raise levels of advantageous HDL cholesterol. A single little preliminary trial discovered that either 25 or 50 grams per day of defatted fenugreek seed powder considerably lowered serum cholesterol after 20 days.
The seeds are higher in soluble fiber and, when consumed with water, could assistance you really feel complete. Having said that, there are no clinical studies that show it is effective for weight loss. A meta-evaluation of 12 trials published in 2020 discovered no impact of fenugreek supplements on weight.
Breast milk is viewed as the most nutritious and appropriate food source for newborns , but when complications bring about insufficient breast milk production, mothers may perhaps need to have a safe, organic alternative to assistance market breast milk flow. Fenugreek may possibly be a all-natural option to prescription drugs applied for this purpose.
None of the trials reported the approaches of randomization or allocation concealment, and only a handful of trials provided facts on blinding status and drop-out prices. In addition, with some exceptions it was unclear whether or not other diabetes medication remained continual throughout the trial. Most of the integrated crossover trials did not test the carryover impact or report a washout period. Nonetheless, we did not discover a difference in results amongst parallel and cross-more than trials suggesting that carryover effects did not substantially impact the benefits. Second, tests for publication bias recommended that such bias may perhaps have been present.
In diabetic rats, trigonelline ingestion increased insulin sensitivity and reduced blood glucose levels .
This could be crucial in advertising congruence in everyday healthcare delivery, improving patient's expertise with therapy, coping with side effects of the therapy, and enhancing patient reported high quality of life.
In a trial of acute effects in healthier volunteers, trigonelline decreased the early glucose response throughout an OGTT .
In addition, a novel amino acid derivative extracted from fenugreek seeds, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, stimulated glucose-dependent insulin release in isolated rat and human pancreatic islet cells .
The steroidal saponins and mucilaginous fiber in fenugreek seeds are believed to account for its prospective well being rewards. Effects of fenugreek seeds on blood glucose and serum levels in type 1 diabetes. Having said that, some people today use fenugreek seeds as an appetite suppressant as nicely.
Some unlikely effects were also shown by fenugreek sprouts such as diuretic, maple-syrup odor and bitter smell. Apart from that fenugreek sprouts have incredible impact on the body. In yet another study, mothers taking 600-milligram capsules of fenugreek seeds three instances day-to-day for a month had an boost in breast milk production of 20%—although that wasn't a substantial difference compared to the placebo group. four-Hydroxyisoleucine, an amino acid constituent of fenugreek, potentiates insulin secretion in non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats when administered intraperitoneally.
Dietary fenugreek also normalizes the activities of glucose and lipid-metabolizing enzymes in diabetic rats. Research utilizing healthful mice and rats indicate that dietary fenugreek is linked with elevated serum T4, liver GSH, glyoxalase I, and GST activities, and decreased T3 levels and T3/T4 ratio. Fenugreek intake in humans was related with an boost in molar insulin binding websites of erythrocytes, which might boost glucose utilization.
According to a clinical study, fenugreek herbal tea helped increase breast milk production in new mothers from 34 mL to 73 mL and had a positive impact on infants' weight achieve patterns. In a equivalent study, 78 infant girls up to four months old were exclusively breastfed by their mothers, who received herbal tea containing 7.5 g fenugreek seed powder and 3 g of black tea three times daily. Right after four weeks, results showed that the weight of the infants in the fenugreek group enhanced substantially, confirming once again that fenugreek herbal tea may enable market breast milk supply. Preparations produced from fenugreek seeds have been studied for effects in enhancing blood glucose handle in people today with diabetes and in preventing progression from prediabetes to type two diabetes.
Nevertheless, there is no consensus on the number of panelists expected for a Delphi strategy. The number of panelists utilized in this study was slightly larger than sizes used in prior studies in search of consensus on difficulties in healthcare. In common, care really should be taken when breastfeeding females are suggested treatments as quite a few drugs and herbal remedies are excreted into the human milk. Therefore, each breastfeeding girls and their breastfed infants could be vulnerable.

Fourth, judgmental and snowball sampling tactics were used to recruit panelists for this study. These nonprobability sampling approaches are viewed as biased in conservative views.
In all cases, prospective benefits need to be weighed against potential risks thinking of other out there protected options. Comparable measures should be applied when fenugreek-primarily based herbal remedies are intended to be recommended as galactogogues for breastfeeding females searching for recommendations to boost their human milk supply.
Even so, these tactics are frequently made use of for this variety of research as probability sampling approaches are not virtually feasible. Lastly, the quantity of panelists who participated in every panel was somewhat modest.
The panelists are usually requested to express the level of their disagreement or agreement with a list containing things in a questionnaire. Sharing statistical summaries and comments with the panelists in a trial to lower the quantity of rounds necessary to attain consensus on the items integrated is frequently practiced.
The wellness positive aspects ascribed to fenugreek include things like blood sugar lowering for diabetes and prediabetes, increasing milk provide through breastfeeding, relief of menstrual cramps, and raising testosterone levels. Fenugreek may perhaps be of interest to men and women with diabetes or these at risk. In a number of clinical studies, people who consumed fenugreek seeds had decrease blood sugar levels compared to the control . Can fenugreek seeds increase your milk supply when you are breastfeeding? The findings of this study could be interpreted taking into consideration a quantity of limitations.
Other studies reported that treatment with fenugreek aqueous seed extract , employing a dose of 25 mg/kg physique weight for 60 days, drastically decreased blood glucose and liver enzyme levels. However, no histological liver protective part was reported. Nonpharmacological interventions stay the initial line in managing insufficient human milk provide, despite the fact that prescribing medicines and recommending herbal galactogogues are popular . Agents used to enhance human milk supply are referred to as galactogogues . Metoclopramide and domperidone are the most usually prescribed pharmacological galactogogues .
In this study, 56 panelists had been recruited and participated in the panel of healthcare providers. Lately, this formal consensus method has evolved as 1 of the most often employed methods in attaining consensus on concerns lacking consensus in healthcare [15, 47–49]. This approach has many positive aspects more than other methods like round table meeting, focus, and nominal groups.
Fenugreek has also been linked to improved sexual function and need in ladies. In one particular study of 80 wholesome females of reproductive age, those who received fenugreek seed extract had increased cost-free testosterone, estradiol, and sexual wish compared to the placebo . Saponins from fenugreek seeds may possibly also improve the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS. In a study of girls of reproductive age with PCOS, those who received a standardized fenugreek extract called Furocyst had increased luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone and smaller ovarian cysts .
In one particular study, rats getting fenugreek seed powder had enhanced kidney function and decreased damage to the brain and bones immediately after aluminum remedy. Fenugreek was also linked to improved antioxidant levels, decreased oxidative strain, enhanced overall quality of kidney tissue, and normalized kidney weight . In 1 study, rats that received fenugreek seeds in their feed had higher red blood cell count and hemoglobin and reduce calcium salts in the kidneys. These markers are in turn linked to improvements in kidney health and a decrease danger of kidney stones .
Fenugreek seeds include alkaloids and protein higher in lysine and L-tryptophan. Its steroidal saponins and mucilaginous fiber are believed to account for many of the valuable effects of fenugreek. Typically fenugreek does not decrease high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The reference use of fenugreek in diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome and other several illnesses such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hypo-lipidemic, antiaging and antioxidant and so forth.
Variations in dose are therefore a doable alternative explanation for the observed 'small study effect', but we had been unable to distinguish involving the effects of dose and publication bias on effect sizes. Lastly, we only located a substantial impact on glycemia for powdered fenugreek seeds and our findings do not apply to other forms of fenugreek and may possibly differ for other strains as a outcome of all-natural variation in active components. Even though this is a potential fenugreek seeds benefit for girls, researchers frequently advocate that searching for assistance from a lactation consultant should really be your very first course of action if you are obtaining problems with breast milk production.
Fenugreek seed is thought to act as a galactagogue by affecting dopamine levels and the hormones involved in breastfeeding to market a healthier breast milk supply in girls who are nursing. The chemical composition of fenugreek is stated to resemble cod liver oil. It consists of fatty acids, like oleic (16.3%), linoleic (50%), and linolenic acids (24.4%).
