Juan Echanove Labanda (Madrid; 1 de abril de 1961) es un actor español.

Biografía
Estudió Derecho e ingresó en la Escuela de Arte Dramático en Madrid. En 1986 participó en la película Tiempo de silencio, donde se dio a conocer, y a raíz de ello obtuvo el papel de Cosme en la serie Turno de oficio, en la cual alcanzó cierta notoriedad.

Gracias al éxito le llamaron para un importante número de películas, entre ellas Divinas palabras (1987), por la cual obtuvo el premio Goya a la mejor interpretación masculina de reparto. A este título le siguieron Bajarse al moro,A solas contigo o La noche más larga. En televisión protagonizó en 1991 Chicas de hoy en día, con la que consiguió un Fotogramas de Plata.

Dos años después, en 1993, disfrutó de su mayor éxito profesional al encabezar el reparto de Madregilda (Francisco Regueiro), donde interpretó a un Francisco Franco acomplejado y débil. Por este trabajo Juan Echanove ganó la Concha de Plata al mejor actor del Festival de Cine de San Sebastián, el Premio Goya a la mejor interpretación masculina protagonista, el Premio Sant Jordi al mejor actor así como el Premio Ondas y una candidatura a los Fotogramas de Plata que perdió frente a Javier Bardem. Su intervención ese mismo año en Mi hermano del alma de Mariano Barroso se saldó con otra candidatura a los Premios Goya, esta vez en la categoría de mejor actor de reparto.

En esos doce meses se produjo su debut profesional como cantante. Junto a Víctor Manuel, Ana Belén, Pablo Milanés, Miguel Ríos, Manolo Tena, Antonio Flores, Joaquín Sabina y Joan Manuel Serrat realizó una gira de conciertos que posteriormente se grabó en un doble CD titulado Mucho más que dos. Echanove cantó en él Faltando un pedazo y La puerta de Alcalá. El actor tuvo que intercalar esos trabajos con la gira teatral de la obra El cerdo, en la que lleva el peso absoluto de la función.

Dos años más tarde, junto a José Luis García Sánchez y Juan Luis Galiardo, inició una saga fílmica sobre la España profunda compuesta por los siguientes títulos: Suspiros de España y Portugal (1995), Siempre hay una camino a la derecha (1997) y Adiós con el corazón (2000). Entre el rodaje de cada película Echanove participó en filmes como La flor de mi secreto (Pedro Almodóvar, 1995), Sus ojos se cerraron y el mundo sigue andando (Jaime Chávarri, 1997) o Los años bárbaros (Fernando Colomo, 1998). En la primera de ellas encarnó a un periodista capaz de reanimar a una escritora cuyo matrimonio había fracasado. En la segunda, a un falangista deseoso de encarcelar a unos presos fugados, interpretados por Ernesto Alterio y Jordi Mollá. En 1997 nació su hijo, Juan.

A partir de 2000 dio prioridad a su trayectoria teatral en obras como El verdugo o El extraño. Para asegurarse la asistencia de público juvenil en ellas, el actor aceptó incorporarse al reparto de Un paso adelante, donde interpretó a un intransigente profesor cuyo hermano estaba encarcelado.
Agustín Díaz Yanes le llamó para un pequeño papel en Sin noticias de Dios.

Por esas fechas, Juan Echanove ejerció bastante militancia política. En febrero de 2003 asistió a un acto de protesta contra el terrorismo de ETA, pocos días después de ser expulsado del Palacio del Congreso junto a Juan Luis Galiardo, María Barranco, Ana Belén, Pilar Bardem, Jordi Dauder y Amparo Larrañaga, por lucir una camiseta en la que estaba impresa la insignia "No a la guerra". En ese mismo año, se estrenó en teatro El precio, según la obra original de Arthur Miller.

En marzo de 2004, celebró la victoria de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero en la sede del PSOE en Madrid.

En 2005 regresó al cine encadenando el rodaje de películas muy publicitadas como Bienvenido a casa (David Trueba) o Alatriste (Agustín Díaz Yanes), en las que coincidió con intérpretes como Concha Velasco, Carlos Larrañaga, Alejo Sauras, Pilar López de Ayala, Jorge Sanz, Eduardo Noriega, Viggo Mortensen, Ariadna Gil o Unax Ugalde. En la primera de ellas interpretó a un crítico de cine ciego, cuya novia murió en el mismo accidente automovilístico en el que perdió la vista, y cuya vida ha transcurrido en soledad hasta que la llegada de un reportero a su revista agudiza su envidia hacia los demás. En la segunda interpretó a Francisco de Quevedo.

En otoño de ese mismo año interpretó a Miguel Alcántara Barbadillo, hermano de Antonio Alcántara (Imanol Arias) en la serie Cuéntame cómo pasó, un hombre que emigró a Francia, donde se divorció de su mujer, y que al volver a España decide ganarse la vida conduciendo un taxi y montando un bar-restaurante.

Además, intervino como entrevistado en el documental No es cosa de risa.

En 2017, después de 12 años, formando parte del reparto fijo de la serie Cuéntame cómo pasó, abandona la ficción de La 1 de TVE, por decisión de la productora.

Thread for puzzle Complete Coverage. Hints are OK, but please no full solutions.
I didn't phrase the question properly. Yes, of course, a blue board with red turns that causes the bot to spiral can cover the board in 3 commands.
I guess I should have posed the question with the requirement of a single color starting board.
Could be easily done in 3 commands with 2 colors staring board.
I think, it is very unlikely that it could be done with single color starting board and 9 commands.
Just wondering if anybody knows of a puzzle - maybe in the Random Painting thread - that accomplishes complete coverage of the 16 x 12 grid in 9 or fewer commands, and in 1,000 or fewer steps.
Also, I'd be interested if this has been done with the board all starting as a single color. As you can see, I selectively placed green tiles to keep under the 1,000 step limit.


"Born in the USA," would definitely be the phrase used to describe An American Art and Craft Collective, held at Grown and Sewn, located at 184 Duane Street in Tribeca. Inside this store is a perfect weaving of art and fashion.
Bruce Springsteen's classic song brought attention to the disenfranchised in America in the 1980s – those dealing with the repercussions of the Vietnam War, joblessness and a struggling economy. In the wake of the Great Recession, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and issues with our environment, there is no greater time to have a merged exhibition like An American Art and Craft Collective, especially since we are on the verge of a new decade.
An American Art and Craft Collective brings together the works of urban visual griot Purvis Young and the Grown and Sewn collection. Grown and Sewn Dry Goods Collection www.grownandsewn.com is an innovative approach to casual fashion. The collection's signature product is the "Kax" and takes the best elements from the khaki and jean.
The Kax is 100% cotton and is washed, baked and finished. Every aspect of Grown and Sewn is American made down from the cotton used in the clothing to the rivets sewn on the Kaxs. All the manufacturing of this product is made in the USA, with almost every region of the country contributing to bring Grown and Sewn to the masses. This clothing line makes a powerful statement toward fixing what ails our society by offering a product that is environmentally friendly and provides jobs to Americans.
The work of Purvis Young is provided by Skot Foreman Fine Art. Purvis is a self-taught artist out of Overtown, Miami, Florida. In his work he reuses squiggly lines and eyes to display the underbelly of American society, individuals caught in the system of poverty, incarceration, and street life. His pieces are full of rage, passion and reality that shine a spotlight on topics that most people would rather not focus on.
Purvis used the debris of Overtown, old cribs and pieces of wood, to create a body of work that tells a specific story, a somber story, that is nonetheless part of the American experience. What is more disturbing to me is the thought that without artists like Purvis Young, this story would not be heard.
Although I have viewed Purvis' work before, seeing it in this setting was like witnessing it for the first time. Purvis's work is layered in such a way that upon each viewing a new facet is discovered. The store's décor also added a special element to his work. There are huge bales of cotton cleverly placed through out the store; the tables are hand crafted with antique figurines and an old sewing table. These raw components help to accentuate the coarse quality of Purvis' work.
An American Art and Craft Collective will be on display until January 15, 2010 and is a marriage about what is best about American culture at a time when America needs it most. After braving the blistering wind to get to Tribeca, I was electrified by what I saw and warmed with a renewed sense of hope.

Coldplay – Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
Home / Music Reviews / Coldplay – Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
admin 24 Oct 2018 0 Comments
Coldplay really hit the spot for me with their most recent studio album, "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends." I was mesmerized by the refreshing guitar chords, amazing voice, and mysterious and meaningful lyrics from Chris Martin, lead singer and frontman of this English rock band.
"Life in Technicolor," the first track, immediately captures you with its fresh feel created by a breezy melody, accompanying guitar and drums, along with a few harmonizing hollers in the background. "Lost!" brings the guitar into a more important position, starting the song with a lovely organ ringing in our ears, and maintains a great beat with a loud banging drum and hand claps. The guitar solo gives a leisurely feel and carries us into another world.
The lyrics are important in every song on this album. In "Cemeteries of London" and the single "Violet Hill," they add vivid images of scenery, for example, "the ghosts towns in the ocean," and "my nerves are poles that unfroze." The lyrics also illustrate war, peace, life and death, and religion, and are enhanced by Martin's poetic voice.
This album has been Coldplay's most successful, debuting at number one in 36 countries the first week after its release. To date, it has sold over 2.5 million copies in the U.S. and 8.1 million worldwide. This has given "Viva la Vida" the title of most-paid-for download of all time. It also won a Grammy for Best Rock Album.
"Viva la Vida" never fails to impress me every time I listen to it. The strumming of the guitar stays in my head, but it will never get old to me. The lyrics give the album a quaint feel, and I get goosebumps every time I hear "but that was when I ruled the world …."
I absolutely love this album, and I hope Coldplay will continue to amaze me. With any luck, fans won't have to wait too long for another release. In the meantime, buy this album, and you'll feel all the glory that Martin sings about.

• Two Pakistani teams to compete in the Huawei ICT Competition 2021-2022 Global Finals
• 8 teams from the Middle East will compete in the global event held in Shenzhen, China in June
Pakistan, May 31 2022: Two Pakistani teams are participating in the global finals of the Huawei ICT Cometption 2021-2022 to be held in June and taking place in Shenzhen, China. Ranked in first and second place in the 5th Huawei ICT Competition Middle East region which was held in partnership with Higher Education Commission Pakistan, the teams will now proceed to the Global Finals in Shenzhen, China in June, part of an eight-team delegation that will represent the Middle East at the global competition. The event will be streamed live to a worldwide audience.
Huawei ICT Competition 2021-2022 is the culmination of a one-year journey that started in June2021, beginning with the national preliminary competition followed by the national finals and, finally, the regional finals. This year's competition provided training and competition tracks in advanced technologies such as intelligent applications, cloud computing and big data. Worldwide, over 125,000 students, 2,000 universities and 85 countries/regions participated in this year's contest.
The Pakistan team ranked in first place included Bhagchand Meghwar and Sateesh Kumar from Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro, Syeda Iqra Fatima from Islamiya University Bahawalpur, and Faheem Yar Khuhawar from Mehran University of Engineering & Technology. The Pakistan team ranked in second place included Hafiz Muhammad Rizwan from Government College University, Faisalabad, Adnan Ali from Virtual University, Islamabad, Mukhtar Memon from Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro and Muhammad Salman from UET Lahore, Al-Khawarizmi Institute Of computer Science.
Mark Meng , CEO Huawei Pakistan said, "We are delighted with returning to the physical-style ICT competition where we again celebrate innovation and creativity. As digital transformation accelerates, we want to support the communities where we serve with the opportunity and platforms to develop impactful technologies that will change lives. Teams from Jordan and Pakistan made it to the podium in last year's global competition finals and we are confident our teams from Pakistan will perform as admirably this year."
The Huawei Innovation Competition was held for the second consecutive year parallel to the ICT Competition. The Innovation Competition empowers undergraduate students and their teachers to use innovative technologies – such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and big data – to create valuable and impactful applications for society.
With the theme of "Connection, Glory, Future," the Huawei ICT competition bridges the gap between Huawei and universities/colleges, education, and the ICT industry, students and enterprises' talent requirements, and promotes competition, learning, and development. The competition provides an international stage for up-and-coming students, giving them recognition, and raising the industry's profile of teachers and universities/colleges. The contest allows participants to grow in the process, improve the start point of their career, benefit from digital technologies, and develop towards a better future.

Two centennials are being celebrated in 1993: the founding of the National Office of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), and of the National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC). It is also the 50th anniversary of the first federally appointed woman judge in Canada. Honouring these events, four stamps are being issued depicting outstanding Canadian women. One of the founders of the Victorian Order of Nurses, Adelaide Hoodless spent her life dedicated to the welfare of women and their families. The teaching of domestic science to all women was her goal. She pushed for schools to include domestic science, saying: "Educate a boy and you educate a man. But educate a girl and you educate a family." By the turn of the century, Ontario schools were teaching domestic science and college classes followed a few years later. She was instrumental in establishing the Hamilton chapter of the YWCA, but her ultimate achievement was a unified national organization dedicated to improving women's lives. The National YWCA was born December 7, 1893. After attending an International Council of Women meeting in Chicago, she returned determined to establish a similar body in Canada. Whit the support of Lady Aberdeen, the National Council of Women of Canada was formed.

Prevalence of maltreatment of people with intellectual disabilities: a review of recently published research.
Maltreatment can have a profound adverse effect on the health of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). People with ID may also be more likely to experience maltreatment than other groups. Historically, data on prevalence of maltreatment among people with ID have been sparse and methodologically weak but have suggested that the scope of the problem is considerable. Studies published between 1995 and 2005 were reviewed to determine estimated maltreatment prevalence among people with ID based on recent literature. Prevalence estimates for people with ID were compared to estimates for people with no disabilities and people with other types of disabilities. Only five studies provided maltreatment prevalence estimates for people with ID. The limited data suggest that maltreatment is more prevalent for people with ID than for people with no disabilities and may be higher for people with ID than for people with certain other disabilities. Most of the available research is still based on convenience samples. More population-level data are needed to provide reliable estimates of the prevalence of this important health problem.


New Delhi, Nov 17: Ever since Jio has been launched in the market it is redefining and rewriting all rules in the telecom industry.
Some critics of Jio were happy that since Jio is not WhattsApp compatible, it will not be welcomed by the Indian users. But it looks that Jio has come out with a solution to this persisting problem.
According to reports Reliance Jio 4g is working along with Facebook to bring WhatsApp to the Reliance Jio Phone. Jio is in talks with WhatsApp to introduce a tailored version of the messaging platform. Jio and WhatsApp together is apparently planning to introduce a new toned down version of WhatsApp for Jio Phone. It is called WhatsApp Lite, according to reports.

What's the big idea: What if Toronto transportation was radically re-thought, so that: (i) streets were all made one way, with one-way bike lanes on the right side and free parking on the left side; (ii) public transportation was free?
Toronto drivers know, that particularly during rush hour, and in general throughout the city, it's impossible to turn right or left for as many as a dozen blocks. This results in traffic flowing, but cars are moving in directions that they don't want to go.
If all streets were alternating, one way, then every second street one could turn right or left. The gained flow would allow all streets to also have a bike lane, also one way, on the right side, and free parking on the left lane. The traffic flow would be reduced because individual cars loping for parking spaces or arriving earlier at a destination without having to drive for 10 minutes to turn would decrease traffic volume.
Radically, this could be extended to the Don Valley Parkway (DVP), opening up the division between the two directions, for more flow. The DVP could be flowing south only and Hwy. 427 could be flowing north only.
If public transportation was free, then combined with the above, this would define Toronto as one of the most progressive metropolises in the world.
Removing the Gardiner and substituting it with a grand one-way boulevard flowing at street level, from the one-way DVP (flowing south) to the one-way 427 (flowing north) would provide easy, fast flow through the city.
A further restructuring of University Avenue by closing it down completely and making it into a central park, overseen by the hospitals, would enrich city life. Access to the buildings is primarily from behind them, so closing down University Avenue and incorporating it into an extended central park coming south from Queen's Park, would rival New York City's Central Park.
How will the big idea work: Less wasted time by motorists moving in directions they don't want to go. It would diminish pollution and driving frustration, and the bike lanes would improve and encourage biking as an alternative to cars.
Making all public transportation free would add to the benefits. By reducing the need to purchase tickets, we reduce the cost of personnel collecting tickets, making tickets and reduce the time to board and leave a subway terminal, tramway or bus. The lost revenue would be compensated for by savings from not having to print tickets, tokens, or employ personnel for verifying that payment is made. A small tax could be levied to fill the gap of cost, for running the subway, instead of collecting revenue from the subway. Businesses would thrive as more people move around in the city. The tax could be for both businesses and residents of the GTA.
How much will your big idea cost, and how would it be funded: The idea would cost billions, but would result in billions of dollars of increased revenue in business to Toronto, from tourism and from people moving through Toronto easier. The free subway rides would essentially be almost self-funded by saved revenues from making, printing and administering the purchase of tickets.
Rather than ask how we will pay for a radical re-thinking of traffic and mobility in our great city, we should ask, how will we pay for not radically re-thinking our city transportation? The answer is that we will pay with more and more hours wasted by billions of people over decades, sitting in their cars, frustrated and unable to turn for a combined billions of blocks. We will pay by increased pollution, decreased health, decreased use of TTC, decreased biking, reduced tourism dollars. We will also pay, so to speak, by not distinguishing the city of Toronto from other cities with similar problems, that lead to citizens massively moving out of the city and commuting back and forth to the suburbs.
How will you implement your big idea: The one-way streets can be implemented immediately, with less than a year of planning. The transformation of the Gardiner into a one-way boulevard is the major cost. This would require the closing down of the Gardiner for a year or more. The one-way changes to the DVP and Hwy. 427 would also require their closing for a year. Bike lanes could be added almost immediately to all one-way streets as they are being converted. Free TTC rides can be implemented immediately, at no cost, because of the savings.

Jan Bart Le Poole (Amersfoort, 1 april 1917 – Tucson (Arizona), 9 april 1993) was een Nederlands natuurkundige en pionier op het gebied van elektronenmicroscopie in Nederland.

Biografie
Le Poole werd geboren in Amersfoort als zoon van ir. Rudolf Le Poole (1876–1935) en Emilie Geertruida Faure (1884–1968). Als student technische natuurkunde aan de Technische Universiteit Delft kreeg hij in 1939 van professor Henk Dorgelo toestemming om als afstudeerproject een transmissie-elektronenmicroscoop te ontwerpen en te bouwen. Zijn project werd verstoord door de invasie door nazi-Duitsland in mei 1940 de daarop volgende bezetting van Nederland gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Desondanks slaagde Le Poole erin om op 8 april 1941 de eerste foto van een preparaat te maken met zijn zelfgebouwde elektronenmicroscoop.

Kort na het sluiten van de universiteit in mei 1941 behaalde Le Poole zijn ingenieursdiploma. Een jaar later begon hij bij de TU Delft aan de bouw van een 150 kilovolt transmissie-elektronenmicroscopie. Het geld voor dit project was afkomstig van het Universiteitsfonds Delft en een aantal Nederlandse bedrijven.

Philips
Na aanvankelijk eerst door Philips te zijn afgewezen wist Le Poole – gesteund door verschillende grootheden – Anton Philips toch te overtuigen om zijn elektronenmicroscoop in productie te nemen en commercieel op de markt te brengen.

Hiertoe werd "Philips Electron Optics" (tegenwoordig FEI) opgericht met Le Poole als technische adviseur. In 1947 was het eerste exemplaar van de EM100 gereed, waarvan er uiteindelijk 350 stuks van zijn verkocht. In 1958 kwam Philips met de EM200, waarmee als eerste ter wereld de 10 Ångström-barrière werd doorbroken. Deze werd in 1967 opgevolgd door de EM300. Deze uitvoering beschikte over een uitvinding van Le Poole, namelijk de 'wobbler' – een verbeterde techniek om afbeeldingen scherp te kunnen stellen.

Hoogleraar
In 1957 werd Le Poole benoemd tot hoogleraar optica aan de Technische Universiteit Delft, een positie die hij tot aan zijn emeritaat in 1982 behield. In deze periode breidde hij zijn aandachtsgebied uit naar onder andere Röntgen-microscopie, massaspectrometers en elektron- en ion-lithografiemachines.

Le Poole was ook een belangrijke promotor van elektronenscopie in binnen- en buitenland. Zo organiseerde hij reeds in 1949 de eerste internationale bijeenkomst over elektronenmicroscopie. Daarnaast richtte hij in 1952 de "Nederlandse Vereniging voor Elektronenmicroscopie" op en in 1951 was hij betrokken bij de oprichting van de "International Federation of Societies for Electron Microscopy" (IFSM), waarvan hij later diende als secretaris en voorzitter (1978-1981).

Judy Tedeschi Finds True Reward in Volunteering at Rosie's Place
by Dan Murphy • April 21, 2018 • 0 Comments
Judy Tedeschi began volunteering at Rosie's Place upon relocating to Beacon Street from the South Shore three years ago, but she first visited the oldest women's shelter in the U.S. years earlier to assist in the dining room with other members of the Second Congregational Church, Cohasset.
Judy Tedeschi (right), a Beacon Street resident and volunteer teacher in in the Women's Education Center at Rosie's Place, assisting one of her students.
"At first, I didn't really appreciate all that Rosie's has to offer, but the shelter really does so much in terms of advocacy and legal services, health care, legal services, and job search assistance, in addition to the ESL and computer classes," she said. "They really do so much more for community."
Tedeschi, who spent most of her career working in health care marketing, has always been committed to volunteer work, devoting her time to her two daughters' schools and extracurricular activities while they were growing up. She had also always enjoyed corporate training and therefore was drawn to Rosie's English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes, where she has taught as a volunteer teacher in the Women's Education Center for the past three years. During this time, Tedeschi has taught women, young and old, from places as far away as Somalia, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
"The women in my classes know it's important to advance in the U.S.," Tedeschi said. "It's remarkable what lengths students will go to; one guest takes four busses to class."
Sara Jorgensen, director of the women's education center, wrote, "Judy has been a wonderful, flexible volunteer – always willing to jump in where we need her. She's taught everything from our pre-literacy class, which is our most beginner level, on up through a Level 3 class. Her warmth really helps her connect with students, allowing them to feel comfortable and have fun. She's a pleasure to have as part of our program."
Today, Tedeschi works part-time as a digital marketing consultant, which allows her the opportunity to teach at Rosie's Place a couple of times each week, as well to volunteer at the shelter's special events alongside her family.
"I find teaching fascinating, challenging, rewarding," Tedeschi said. "I'm so glad I made the commitment. I love it. Teaching makes me happier than anything I do."

Couple weeks ago, @BrainAnalyser  made a mention of Mitch Altmans NeuroDreamer Kickstarter on Twitter and was instantly excited and reached out to Mitch for a demo device, and have to say, for a demo device, and the first implementation of the NeuroDreamer, it's pretty fantastic. I'm a big advocate of binaural beats and although the NeuroDreamer uses the full spectrum of frequencies simultaneously using different amplitudes (alpha, beta, delta, theta) the device uses the frequency that has been the most receptive in showing "frequency following responses"  predominantly in the brain, the alpha state for relaxation.
I also suffer from tinnitus (brain produced tone due to damage of the tiny hairs in the inner ear), so the pairing of the mask and the tones for that alone is fantastic. What I did not expect was the quality of it. Kickstarter says its made from memory foam, and just fits very comfortably the quality of the material on your face, it's all just perfect. The control you have over the device is great to, allowing users to choose from Music w/ Lights, just Music, and then being able to gauge the levels of brightness of light, and the volume of audio…and all of this is done intuitively with THREE buttons.
With one button, the user has a choice of five different songs, all with this same full spectrum of frequencies, to help them rest. Four of the songs are musical, and one is an ambient ocean song.
My only problem is the device assumes 20min to go from awake to deep sleep, and theres no way to extend the time of the song without hitting the button again. But to be honest, most of the time I used this, I was out before I needed to hit the button again.
After showing both of my parents, they too were very interested and were going to be pledgeing for a couple units as will I before the July 16th dead line….will you?

Footnote 1: The word "autumn" comes from the ancient Etruscan root "autu-" and has within it connotations of the passing of the year.[11] It was borrowed by the neighbouring Romans, and became the Latin word autumnus.[12] After the Roman era, the word continued to be used as the Old French word autompne (automne in modern French) or autumpne in Middle English,[13] and was later normalized to the original Latin. In the Medieval period, there are rare examples of its use as early as the 12th century, but by the 16th century, it was in common use.

WHAT? We're wrapping up the year with 12 days devoted to learning how to create a textile design from start to finish. Take a break during this hectic time of year for a personal challenge as we walk you through each step in creating a design ready to upload to Spoonflower. Sign up to receive daily tips via email starting December 1st, 2014 to guide you through the fabric design process. Will you accept the challenge and create a textile design?
HOW? All you have to do is follow along as we provide daily tips on finding inspriation, creating a design element, and uploading to Spoonflower. If you'd like, snap a photo of your progress and use the #spoonchallenge hashtag each day to share your process. You can use this hashtag on your social media outlet of choice. We'll be rounding up our favorite shots each week to share on the blog!
Today is all about finding inspiration from your environment. Wherever you are, there is so much to see, touch, taste, smell, and hear. Consider how something you encounter or use every single day—a pen, a favorite coffee mug, or even a set of keys—could be considered an interesting design element. Take some time to identify what it is about something that inspires you or draws you in–is it the colors, the layout, or the pattern? Start collecting ideas, thoughts, sketches and photos. Don't be afraid to document and collect everything that excites you or piques your interest! For today, just gather.
Now that you have gathered inspiration, it's time to narrow it down and pick a theme! Did your inspirational images include a certain style or do you see the same motif popping up throughout your inspiration gathering process? Once you've settled on one theme for your design, create a Pinterest board or physical mood board specifically for that topic.
Want some advice on picking your theme? Eloisa's blog post is sure to help!
Color palettes don't have to be intimidating or complicated. The best way to come up with fantastic combinations is to practice. Set a goal of creating a new palette every day, keeping track of them on a site like Colour Lovers. You can create your own custom palette using inspiration from the world around you using an online tool like Adobe Color CC. Start with a palette of 5 different colors and branch out if you need more. Experiment, go wild and have fun!
You have your theme, so it's time to choose a medium for creating your design. Don't be afraid to experiment here! You can create with any tools or supplies you like, from crayons to puff paint to digital design software. Mix different ways to create—collage photos and words from a magazine, scan a painting to add digital graphics and text overlays, or bust your fabric stash to add texture and depth to a drawing. Just be creative and have fun–the possibilities are endless!
See the top ten winners of our thermoses contest and see what medium designers chose!
See examples of how Spoonflower designers have sketched, painted and illustrated their way to gorgeous designs!
Now that you've started sketching your artwork, select your design elements by narrowing down or adding to your preliminary sketches. You will want to make the focal points for your design at this stage, isolating and focusing on the standout features of the overall design. With your elements complete, you will arrange them into the pattern you are creating. Your elements can come together in many combinations, so pay attention to what you're drawn to visually as you're creating each element. You may find that once you start, less is more, and that's okay, too!
To upload your images to Spoonflower, you will need to make a digital copy of your design. You can accomplish this by scanning a hand-created image or creating your image in a digital design program. There are many design programs available that will help you create or manipulate your files digitally, including the ever-popular MS Paint and Photoshop, but there are also plenty of free, open-source design tools available online. We've rounded up a list of our favorite free design tools, but feel free to use whatever tool is easiest for you.
You're almost there! Once you've uploaded your digital file to Spoonflower, you're in the home stretch. Check out step by step instructions for uploading your file on the blog today. Once your file is uploaded, the design tools on our site will allow you to do a bit more tweaking, and, of course, you will be able to print your design on any of our fabrics, wallpaper, or gift wrap! How cool is that?!
You've uploaded your fabric design. You've played with color and repeat. Now it's time for fine tuning to make sure it's not only ready for fabric, but also wallpaper and gift wrap. On the blog today, discover how the repeat options can change your design—how a simple switch between basic and half-drop, for example, can result in a wide variety of alternatives.
You change your mind, your outfits and your hairstyles, why not the colors in your new Spoonflower design? No need to go back to Photoshop or your other tool of choice, you can make color tweaks right on our site! Check out the step-by-step process, because change is good!

A Brand-New Hunt
Posted on November 22, 2011 November 22, 2011 by Jordan Lawrence
In three minutes and 40 seconds, "Curl of the Burl" condenses Mastodon's appeal into an approachable package that most any listener could digest. It might not be calculated, but like Metallica before them, the yoke of an economic, radio-ready approach fits the band quite well.
I'm on hold with Warner Brothers Records, and a pretty typical modern pop song is blaring from my receiver. The treble is too high, blurring the melody and the tone of the singer's voice, but she has a piercing bubble-gum delivery that resembles many of the blandly hooked starlets clogging today's FM airwaves. Mercifully, the track is cut short a voice that clicks in to tell me that I'm on the line with Troy Sanders, bassist and singer for Atlanta-based hard-rock act Mastodon.
The conversation begins as an exploration of the band's new album The Hunter. Sanders explains that the creative process was more organic this time out. Mastodon leaped into national relevance about seven years ago on the strength of a sludgy sound that twisted and tangled with prog-rock complexity and a series of baffling, but fascinating concepts.
2004's Leviathan features a nautical story loosely based on Moby Dick. 2006's Blood Mountain concerns a hallucination-ridden attempt to survive in the wilderness. 2009's Crack the Skye uses the suicide of drummer Bränn Dailor's sister Skye as the impetus for a multidimensional tragedy that focuses on a paraplegic who goes out of his body to visit czarist Russia.
Skye is also the band's most musically challenging effort, a melodic ganglion that forgoes many of the band's heavier elements, sometimes sounding more like King Crimson than it does the Melvins. The density of the music and the highly emotional songs made the subsequent tour an exhausting, if highly rewarding experience. Things didn't get easier in the aftermath. Guitarist/singer Brent Hinds' brother died unexpectedly during work on The Hunter. Tired and put out, Sanders says they approached their music as a release, dumping the complicated structures of the past for a more immediate approach.
"This time around we'd plug in our gear, someone would start making some noise, someone would start playing something that grabbed our attention, and we'd gravitate towards that and build on that, build on that, build on that until it became a song," he explains. "We don't need to get more technical just for the sake of people expecting us to be more technical. You know, 'That sounds great — verse-chorus-verse-chorus. That's killer. I love it. High five! Let's get out of here, and go eat tacos.'"
The Hunter is a solid record to be sure, built of chugging, riff-bespeckled blasts that rarely run past the five-minute mark. They're insistent and cathartic, shot through with howling choruses that overflow with angst, but there's also something seemingly calculated about them. An album like this is exactly the right move for Mastodon at this point in their career. Skye was their first album to crack the top 10 of Billboard's album chart. The Hunter repeated the accomplishment. A collection of concise, catchy jams is a great way to lure in suddenly interested ears. Sanders says it's simply a happy coincidence, insisting that the band never bases artistic decisions on what listeners might want.
"We still write music that makes the four of us happy, first and foremost," he says. "We never feel pressure on our shoulders that we've got to make a better record than the last one. We never second-guess ourselves. What's the rest of the world going to think? That's out of our control."
Still, if the band was to cater to a larger audience, they couldn't do a better job. Take "Curl of the Burl," which lumbers to life on a weighty guitar and bass combo before clicking into an insistent, solo-powered romp. Guitars shred in simple, but scintillating patterns around a chorus that's pure rock-radio perfection. "It's just the curl of the burl/ It's just the curl of the burl/ That's just the way of the world," Sanders and Hinds sing together, intensifying their delivery with each repetitively structured line. The words explore an appealingly pretentious concept, keying on how drug addicts will cut down trees for their burls — large knots that are extremely valuable to furniture makers — and sell them to fund their habit. In three minutes and 40 seconds, it neatly condenses Mastodon's appeal into an approachable package that most any listener could digest. It might not be calculated, but like Metallica before them, the yoke of an economic, radio-ready approach fits the band quite well.
"We still feel like we're ascending the mountain," Sanders says, reiterating that there is no map to Mastodon's success. "Could we strip back and do some crazy storyline or a flashback of prog or something? Where the future will lead us is completely unknown at the moment, but the groove that we're in feels great. We're loving every minute of it."

The Intersil ISL84514 and ISL84515 devices are precision, analog switches designed to operate from a single +2.4V to +12V supply. Targeted applications include battery powered equipment that benefit from the devices' low power consumption (5µW), and low leakage currents (1nA). Low rON and fast switching speeds over a wide operating supply range make these switches ideal for use in industrial equipment, portable instruments, and as input signal multiplexers for new generation, low supply voltage data converters. Some of the smallest packages available alleviate board space limitations, and make Intersil's newest line of low-voltage switches an ideal solution for space constrained products.
The ISL8451x are single-pole/single-throw (SPST) switches, with the ISL84514 being normally open (NO), and the ISL84515 being normally closed (NC).
Table 1 summarizes the performance of this family. For higher performance, pin compatible versions, see the ISL43110, ISL43111 datasheet. For ±5V supply versions, see the ISL84516, ISL84517 datasheet.

Q: allowed blocks for 'core/colums' innerBlocks I have created a custom block with innerBlocks, let's call it parent block. I only allow for one kind of block inside that block, let's call it child block using the "allowedBlocks". The simple use-case is when a user wants to add the child block inside the parent block, then it all works fine.
Now here is the problem:
Sometimes one would need to be able to add multiple child blocks inside the parent block next to each other. For that I would love to use the  core/colums  block from gutenberg. The problem is, that inside that  core/colums  block I also only want to be able to add the child block and no other.
Is there a way to set allowedBlocks for a block inside allowedBlocks? Is there some 'global' way of saying: "all blocks inside of this block can only be one of [..., ..., ...]?"
edit: function( props ) {

return (
<InnerBlocks allowedBlocks={ [ 'my-blocks/child-block', 'core/columns' ] } />
);

}

Now can I specify which blocks can be selected in the InnerBlock core/colums ?
*I know I could just let people add multiple child inside the parent, but I want them to be structured and responsive with the colums..
My other idea would be to somehow copy the core/colums block from gutenberg and modify it, though I don't know where to find it and it wouldn't really be pretty..*

A: At present, core/column does not support passing the allowedBlocks property, although you could potentially create your own custom renderAppender for InnerBlocks as a way to limit what blocks can be added.
Below is an alternative approach using 3 custom blocks, templates, child and parent block relationships:
Custom Block:
Contains an InnerBlock with a template that sets the custom Parent Block as the content of the Column. You could also add other core blocks within the template if desired.
registerBlockType('my-blocks/custom-block', {
...
    edit: () => {
        const MY_TEMPLATE = [
            ['core/columns', { columns: 2 }, [
                ['core/column', {}, [
                    ['my-blocks/parent-block']
                ]],
                ['core/column', {}, [
                    ['my-blocks/parent-block']
                ]],
            ]]
        ];
        return (
            <InnerBlocks
                template={MY_TEMPLATE}
                templateLock="all"
            />
        );
     },

    save: () => {
        return <InnerBlocks.Content />;
    }
});

Parent Block:
Contains an InnerBlock that only accepts the Child Block (or you can also add other core blocks inside allowedBlocks).
registerBlockType('my-blocks/parent-block', {
...
    edit: function({className}) {
        return (

                <InnerBlocks allowedBlocks={['my-blocks/child-block']} />

        );
    },

    save: function({className}) {
        return (

                <InnerBlocks.Content />

        )
    }
})

Child Block:
Can only be added to its parent, so will not appear in the Add Block inserter unless its within its Parent Block.
registerBlockType('my-blocks/child-block', {
    ...
    parent: ['my-blocks/parent-block'],
    edit: ({ className }) => {
        return (

Child Block Content

        );
    },

    save: ({ className }) => {
        return (

Child Block Content

        );
    },
});

Caveats: The columns will still allow other blocks to be added after the Parent Block unless you create a custom renderAppender to alter this.
The above example should work for your scenario as described by implementing the additional 'Custom Block' to control the allowedBlocks of InnerBlocks and support core/columns.

I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven't entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
This is the first post-Netflix streaming service I'm actually interested in.
The only thing that will get me to commit to this streaming service is if it has the majority of Fox Kids' catalog from the 90s--and that's actually in the realm of possibility.
But until then, nah, I'm good.
Cya all later
A land of corn and technology
Yeah unless they have something that really appeals to me I will pass. I already use three pay streaming services and a bunch of free ones. Disney should have done this years ago.

So now we know how Loki will be used in the Disney+ show. Also gets Rick & Morty showrunner.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...er_heat_vision
"the show will follow Loki as the trickster and shapeshifter pops up throughout human history as unlikely influencer on historical events."
There's no way Justin Roiland doesn't have a recurring role, be it through voiceover or whatever.
Majority share of two streaming platforms?
https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/27/1...ia-disney-plus
Disney is going to own almost everything soon. Mouse monopoly oh joy.
I'm just trying to find a positive way of thinking without cynicism at this point.
I'm waiting for the stumble.
Disney's post-Walt flush maps roughly onto strong leadership. (Ovitz and Eisner in the 80s and 90s, Iger in the 2010s).
But the company might be in trouble once Iger retires and there's a vacuum at the top. He's been trying to leave for a few years now and AFAIK they still don't have anyone to replace him.
It's weird how under Eisner Disney seemed mortal, or weaker. Now they are hell bent on owning everything. Pixar really gave them a boost.
Beast is a villain?

I guess they didn't thknk Gaston was enough of a creep.
Yeah. I can't imagine that going over.
When did he get that tattooed arm sleeve? Find out in Episode 3's flashback.
oh and $8.99 a month or on an annual basis for $69.99 - Nov 12th launch

https://deadline.com/2019/04/star-wa...ch-1202594388/
Thought I saw $6.99 somewhere?
It's 2 buck but $8.99 puts them in line with Amazon's lowest tier, and Amazon has a helluva lot more content.
Quoting Irish (view post)
Maybe works out to that at 70$ annual price?
Ahhhhh of course. Good catch!
Deadline updated their article: "Disney said its high-stakes entry into the crowded streaming fray will cost $6.99 a month when it launches November 12 in the U.S., with a full-year option of $69.99, or $5.83 a month"
Reported as $6.99 from CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/11/disn...9-a-month.html
Also in the news: apparently Skitch and I are really bad at basic math.

Q: getComputedStyle returns different background color for pseudo elements I have a pseudo-element in dom that has a css property background-color of rgb(23,171,111)
Now, when I try to get the CSS property using window.getComputedStyle function, I get a different color rgb(56, 147, 110).
let color = window.getComputedStyle(el, ':before').getPropertyValue('background-color')

Inspecting the element shows the background-color is set to rgb(23,171,111)
All other CSS properties set on the element remain unaffected.
Why is it so?

No Comments on Contribute to Healing America's Core Wound
"THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS: Freedom and Friendship at Plymouth Plantation." A Cameron/Baxter Films project. There's still time to contribute to our Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign for our challenging new documentary film/book venture. Funding ends on January 19. Please follow this blog for information that will give you a new perspective on an old story that has been out of balance since we first started telling it. See our other links below for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS Our new film/book project.
There is a core wound in the heart of America. The inspiring story of The First Fifty Years is shrouded in misinformation and mis-belief, leading to anger, blame, shame and guilt. Consequently, this nation is morally paralyzed. America was founded by visionaries, both European and Native, who articulated a vision for humanity in its freedom documents: The Mayflower Compact, The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. America has yet to live up its promise.
This project brings a healing perspective to America's Origin Story. It brings honor to both the Pilgrims and the Indians. The extraordinary fifty-five years of inter-cultural peace and friendship between the Mayflower Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians exemplified the human potential at Plymouth Plantation, 1621-1675. This is where the first seeds of American democracy were sown.
Filmmakers/Authors Andrew Cameron Bailey and Connie Baxter Marlow at the 2008 Sedona Film Festival.
We are Andrew Cameron Bailey and Connie Baxter Marlow, authors of "THE TRUST FREQUENCY: Ten Assumptions for a New Paradigm" and creators of the film "IN SEARCH OF THE FUTURE: What do the Wise Ones Know?" have launched a challenging new film/book project and Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign: "THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS: Freedom and Friendship at Plymouth Plantation."
We have until January 19 to fund THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS. Please help us take a step on the high road to realizing the true American Dream: freedom, justice and abundance for all. To get there, we must first understand the significance of the Pilgrim, the Indian and the trust-based world-view that guided them.

Take off for further Drone Regulations?
Drone regulation was placed centre stage during the Christmas 2018 holiday period, when reported drone sightings at Gatwick Airport grounded a reported 1,000 flights, affecting around 140,000 passengers. Since then, all eyes have been on the UK Government for the next steps in drone regulation.
Over the course of 2018, the UK Government did make progress in this area. Amendments to the Air Navigation Order 2016 (the ANO 2016) introduced, amongst other measures, the following:
an extension to the height restriction of 400ft (from the earth's service), which previously applied to all aircraft over 7kg, to all small unmanned aircraft (SUA, also known as drones); and
an extension to the 1km restriction around the boundary of protected aerodromes, which previously applied to all aircraft over 7kg, to all drones.
By November 2019, the ANO 2016 will also make registration compulsory for operators of drones with a mass between 250g and 20kg and require remote pilots of drones to pass competency tests. There is a distinction between "operators" and "remote pilots" in the newly amended ANO 2016 –an operator is the person or organisation who manages the drone (but may not necessarily control the flight); the remote pilot is the person who manually operate the controls during the relevant drone flight.
In July 2018, the Government also launched a consultation 'Taking Flight: The Future of Drones in the UK' to discuss wider reform, and the Department of Transport published their Response in January 2019.
This response announced the following new measures:
A further amendment to the ANO 2016 to extend the existing protected aerodrome exclusion zone to include additional 5km rectangular extensions from the end of runways. This came into force on 13 March 2019; and
A new Drones Bill which will introduce new police powers that will enable them to:
demand drone operator registration documents, proof of remote pilot competence and CAA flight authorisation;
seize, retain, and / or require drones to land;
access and retain drone data; and
issue fixed penalty notices for non-compliance with relevant law.
It is unclear when the new Drones Bill will come into force. However, in a statement to the House on 7 January, Chris Grayling said that his department was working closely with the Home Office on 'the legislative clauses that will deliver these changes'.
Whilst the Government is moving forward with the drone bill and the extension to the aerodrome exclusion, it has decided NOT to introduce the following regulations:
In the original consultation, the Government had proposed introducing a minimum age of 18 for drone operators in order to recognise the additional legal responsibilities that this role holds (remote pilots were to be left unregulated).
However, following the close of the consultation, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) produced draft EU regulations which contain a minimum age requirement of 16 or 18 years for remote pilots, but leave the operator role unregulated. The Government is currently engaging with EASA to object to these proposals and has put their own agenda on hold, so as to avoid introducing conflicting regulation. With the uncertainty around Brexit, it will be interesting to see if and how the Government proceeds in this area.
Flight Information and Notification System (FINS)
The Government had also proposed to mandate the use of FINS for drone users. The consultation posited mandating the use of an "app" which would display any airspace restrictions, real-time traffic information and require drone users to notify other airspace users and the CAA of upcoming drone flights.
However, this proposal was the subject of much concern in the public responses to the consultation, with many respondents suggesting that a pre-flight notification requirement would restrict spontaneous flight and be potentially difficult given the rural locations that drones are often operated in. The Government has also expressed its intent to harmonise its approach in this area with wider international strategies and standards, which are yet to be fully developed.
Counter-drone technology
The Government consultation also considered which operational procedures and safeguards could be used to detect and / or 'effects' drones to counter misuse. Whilst the response does not put forward any specific counter-drone measures, it does emphasise the Government's commitment to developing policy in this area. Indeed, it has since emerged that the Department for Transport, the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office are currently collaborating on a 'Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' strategy.
Overall, whilst the Government's response to the consultation recognises the need for greater regulation of drone use, in some areas the Government is still being cautious. There is clearly a concern that legislating in areas before reviewing the wider international response, could hamper the development of the UK drone industry.
In addition, both the consultation and response are notable in their focus on the regulation of leisure drone use. This is despite commercial drone use increasing considerably, with the number of commercial permissions issued by the CAA, for example, doubling since February 2017.
In order to fully realise the social and economic benefits of drones an unmanned traffic management (UTM) system will be necessary. The Government confirmed their support of such a system in their response to the 2016 Consultation 'Unlocking the UK's High Tech Economy'. Announcing their intention to mandate the use of a FINS in their response to this consultation would have been a step towards such a system and it is perhaps disappointing that they chose not to do so. However, in the response the Government did re-emphasise its commitment towards developing UTM policy. The fact that this commitment was recently evidenced by an announcement that the Department for Transport will be working with the Transport Systems Catapult and industry experts to explore UTM Systems, hopefully means it is a question of when not if such a system will be the focus of regulation.
We are following drone developments and will continue to report on the key changes. For more information see our Trends in Transport article, Drones, Deployment and the Challenges Ahead, our Drones Update and Martin Fleetwood's article Droning on… in RailProfessional magazine.

The tafl games "Brandubh" (Ireland), "Ard Ri" (Scotland), "Tablut" (Lapland), "Tawlbwrdd" (Wales) and "Hnefatafl" (Iceland) are all one and the same game: the Iron- and Viking Age Scandinavian board game Hnefatafl.
Historical rules of the ancient Scandinavian board game Hnefatafl.
1. Two players may participate. One player plays the king's side, with a king and his defenders, and the other player plays the attackers. There are twice as many attackers as defenders.
2. The game is played on a board with 7x7, 9x9, 11x11 or 13x13 squares and with initial set-ups as shown:
3. The central square, called the throne, is restricted and may only be occupied by the king. It is allowed for the king to re-enter the throne, and all pieces may pass through the throne when it is empty.
The throne square is hostile, which means that it can replace one of the two pieces taking part in a capture. The throne is always hostile to the attackers, but only hostile to the defenders when it is empty.
3a. On the 7x7 board:
Ard Ri: No throne square, i.e. there are no restricted squares on the board.
Brandubh: Also the four corner squares are restricted and hostile, just like the throne.
Brandubh, five restricted squares.
4. The attackers' side moves first, and the game then proceeds by alternate moves.
All pieces move any number of vacant squares along a row or a column, like a rook in chess.
Moving a piece.
5. All pieces except the king are captured if they are sandwiched between two enemy pieces, or between an enemy piece and a restricted square, along a column or a row. The two enemy pieces should either be on the square above and below or on the square to the left and to the right of the attacked piece.
A piece is only captured if the trap is closed by a move of the opponent, and it is, therefore, allowed to move in between two enemy pieces.
Capture of pieces.
The piece is not captured.
6. The objective for the king's side is to move the king to any edge square. In that case, the king has escaped and his side wins.
The king's side wins.
6a. Except on the Brandubh 7x7 board, where the objective for the king's side is to move the king to any corner square, in which case the king has escaped and his side wins.
7a. The attackers win if they can capture the king before he escapes. The king is captured like all other pieces, except when he is on the throne or on one of the four squares next to the throne.
When the king is on the throne, the attackers must surround him in all four cardinal points.
When he is on a square next to the throne, the attackers must occupy all surrounding squares in the four points of the compass except the throne.
The king is captured.
7b. If the attackers surround the king and ALL remaining defenders, then they win, as they have prevented the king from escaping.
The attackers win by encircling all defenders.
8. Perpetual repetitions are forbidden. A player who maintains a board repetition ("the aggressive player") must find another move to break the repetition, or he loses the game.
"The aggressive player" is the player who continually side steps with a piece in order to find an open path to break through. The other player continually brings his piece in line with the aggressive piece in order to block the open path. In other words, "the aggressive player" is the one who has some choice in whether to repeat the pattern or not.
If a board position is repeated for the third time, "the aggressive player" loses the game.
Perpetual repetition - the king must find another move.
8b. Draw forts are forbidden: If the defenders repeat the defending board position three times while no piece is captured, the attackers win. (Only in force when the defenders have at least king plus five men left, which is the minimum of pieces needed to build a fort).
9. If a player cannot move, he loses the game.
Hnefatafl on the 7x7 board was called Brandubh in Ireland and Ard Ri in Scotland, on the 9x9 board called Tablut in Lapland, on the 11x11 board called Tawlbwrdd in Wales (the Norse/Danish word Tavlbord = gameboard).

زعفران یکی از مهمترین گیاهان اقتصادی دنیا است که کاربرد دارویی فراوانی نیز دارد. سرده زعفران (Crocus L.) با حدود 90 گونه از تیره زنبقیان (Iridaceae) در نیمکره شمالی، بهویژه غرب آسیا و ایران پراکندگی دارد. تحقیق حاضر به‌منظور بررسی فعالیت ضد میکروبی عصاره قسمتهای مختلف از زعفران مزروعی (C. sativus var. haussknechtii) از قبیل پوششبُنه، بُنه، گلپوش و کلالهی واریتهای بر روی برخی میکروارگانیسمهای بیماری‌زا (Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus) میباشد. نمونههای گیاهی مورد نظر از چهار رویشگاه مختلف استان کرمانشاه جمع‌آوری و در هرباریوم دانشگاه رازی کرمانشاه شناسایی گردید. پس از آماده‌سازی مواد خام گیاهی، عصاره الکلی 4 قسمت مختلف این گیاهان (گلپوش، کلاله، غده و پوششغده) به روش خیساندن (ماسراسیون) استخراج شد. آزمایشات میکروبی با استفاده از روش حداقل غلظت مهارکنندگی (MIC) در دو غلظت (128/0) میکروگرم در میلی‌لیتر (μg.ml-1) و (512/0) میکروگرم در میلی‌لیتر (μg.ml-1) به شیوه‌ی میکرو براث دایلوشن تعیین گردید. نتایج حاصل به کمک آزمونهای آماری نشان داد که ارتباط معناداری (001/0<p) بین افزایش غلظت عصارههای الکلی گلپوش این گیاه و قطر هاله عدم رشد وجود دارد. بدین ترتیب که عصاره متانولی گلپوش نسبت به باکتریهای انترکوک ( 128/0) میکروگرم در میلی‌لیتر (μg.ml-1) و در سالمونلاواستاف ائورئوس (512/0) میکروگرم در میلی‌لیتر، اثر بازدارندگی دارد. بر اساس یافتههای این تحقیق عصاره الکلی قسمتهای مختلف واریتهای زعفران مزروعی غیر از گل‌پوش (که خاصیت نسبتاً خوبی از خود نشانداد)، خاصیت ضدمیکروبی از خود نشان ندادند. به این ترتیب گل‌پوش این نوع زعفران وحشی میتواند کاندیدای مناسبی برای بررسیهای آزمایشگاهی باشد و جداسازی ترکیبات فعال موجود در آن برای دستیابی به داروهای ضد میکروبی، پیشنهاد میشود.
Saffron is one of the most important economic plants in the world that also has many pharmaceutical applications. Genus Crocus L. (Saffron) with about 90 species of the Iridaceae family in the northern hemisphere, especially in West Asia and Iran are scattered. The present study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of extracts of various parts such as cover of corm, corm, perianth and stigma of the variety of saffron (C. sativus var. Haussknechtii) on some pathogenic microorganisms (Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus) extrusion. Plant specimens were collected from four different habitats of Kermanshah province and then were identified in the herbarium of Razi University. After preparing raw plant extract four different parts of the plants (cover of corm, corm, perianth, stigma) by soaking (maceration) were extracted. Microbial tests using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the broth micro-dilution method were determined. The results of analysis by statistical tests showed a significant correlation (001/0 <p) the increase in the concentration of alcoholic extracts there perianth saffron and inhibition zone diameter. Thus, Perianth methanol extract in Enterococcus (0/128) g ml, Salmonella and Staphylococcus (0/512) g ml has inhibitory effects against bacteria. Based on the findings of non-alcoholic extracts of different parts of a flower in this plant did not show antimicrobial properties. Thus perianth these wild saffron may be a good candidate for laboratory tests and isolation of active ingredients to achieve antimicrobial drugs, it is recommended.
