I can only match the depth of my apology for not posting sooner with the momentousness of the latest discovery I have to share with you!
Perhaps it's because we just recently lost Aunt Jane and before her, Aunt Fran and Aunt Kitty, but I got searching our Gates line again. And what did I find? Someone searching for us!
I just happened to notice someone online looking for "her relative," named "John Carl Marcus Gates" and that seemed close enough to AJ Gates' father, John Charles Marcus Gates, to be the same man.
What did we already know about John Charles Marcus Gates besides he came from Nuremberg, Germany and the family name was Anglicized from Goetz to Gates?
In the early 70's, Nana had told me John C. M. Gates had brothers named Christopher (an engineer who gave Gramp one of his first jobs in Cuba) and Leo. Nana identified Leo's sons, (Gramp's cousins) as "Fred, Harry and Lou" who married "Sue, Marie and Clara."
I had found Christopher because I remember my mother saying he lived in Toledo, Ohio but to try and find the other brother, "Leo," I had to look up all families that had siblings Fred, Harry and Lou Gates and try to find ones who married Sue, Marie and Clara. There was only one family with sons of that name but the father was Lawrence, not Leo! And he was in Indiana, not Ohio. But his sons were named Fred, Harry and Lou and they had married a Sue, Marie and Clara. Marie's last name was Beery and I remember our family always saying that Wallace Beery (old-time famous actor) was our "23rd cousin," so this HAD to be the right family.
After comparing notes with my new-found researcher, Marilynn Marshall, I found out that John Charles Marcus Gates was actually "Johan Carl Markus Goetz" at birth (Sharon, you were right about his name being "Johan" on his immigration record!). He not only had the 2 brothers, Christopher and Lawrence, that I suspected he had, but he also had another brother, William, and 2 sisters, Margaret and Christina! No one ever mentioned sisters to me.
They were all living from about 1860 into the 1900's in the village of Angola, Pleasant township, Steuben County, Indiana while John C.M. Gates and his wife Elizabeth LaSalle were busy raising their 6 sons (including our A.J. Gates) and 2 daughters in Hartwell, near Cincinnati, Ohio.
Marilynn, who is our second cousin once removed, was searching for our John Charles (or Carl) Marcus Gates because she is the grand-daughter of John's sister, Christina Barbara Gates. Well, of course, the one question I wanted to ask her was: what were the names of John C.M.'s parents?
Aunt Bobbie, aka "Aunt Gertie" (Gertrude Gates Vogel), had written on John C.M.'s 1932 death certificate, "Karl and Christine" as John's parents but John himself had listed on his 1922 passport application that his father was named "Christopher."
Marilyn straightened me out. John's parents' names were "Christoph Goetz" and "Anna Sibylla Steffler." And why do I believe her? Because she got the records from the Archive in Nuremberg, Germany!
And if you still wondering, perhaps this will convince you.
"At the residence of Mr. And Mrs. Lawrence Gates there was quite a reunion of the Gates family the past week. John of Cincinnati and Christopher of Toledo came Saturday afternoon and met their brothers Lawrence and William and sisters Margaret Fiedler and Christina Weiss and enjoyed a most pleasant visit and grand dinner. The immediate younger members of these families were with them on Sunday and all hope that many more such meetings may be had in the future. John and Christopher returned to their homes on Monday morning."
Lawrence had immigrated from Nuremberg in 1853 when he was 14, John came over in 1864, when he was 19, Christopher came over in 1865, when he was 17, and William C., and his two sisters, ages 12, 25 and 26 came over with their mother in 1867 after their father, Christoph Goetz , died in 1857.
The story handed down to me was that there was a war in Germany and John C.M.'s father was killed in the war, but that is not the story that Marilynn's grandmother, Christina Barbara told her, after having lived 25 years in Germany before coming over. It may take a bit of research to find out which social events going on in Germany at that time were being referred to as a "war" by our Gates historians.
Christopher, the patriarch, was a Feilenhauermeister, "master filemaker." Can you feel that word stir your German roots? The Archives in Nuremberg go back 3 more generations past Christoph to Johann Wolfgang Goz, then to Heinrich Goz and then to Nicolaus Goz. You can see a chart of them and their wives by going to the surname database at Jan's Genealogy Site.
I have many more surprising discoveries to share about our Goetz family and I will bring another story to you next week. I only wish that our departed Gates family members might be able to share this joy of discovering our lost family!

Esera Tuaolo
(person) by hashbrownie Thu Jan 09 2003 at 6:52:25
"Aww, hell no! I don't want any faggots on my team. I know this might not be what people want to hear, but that's a punk. I don't want any faggots in this locker room."
—Garrison Hearst, San Francisco 49ers running back, as quoted in the Fresno Bee on October 27, 2002.
Can you blame Esera Tuaolo for staying in the closet?
It's ironic that the National Football League is so homophobic despite its explicit homoerotic imagery. A bunch of sweaty men on a field wearing spandex pants. The goal is to drive through the other team and break the imaginary plane of the end zone. Players congratulate each other with pats on the butt. A play begins when the quarterback grabs the ball from between the center's legs. There is a key position named the tight end.
On the other hand, maybe it's not so ironic after all. I see American football as humans' version of mating rituals in other species. Elk battle for sexual stature by locking horns; modern athletes do it by fighting on the gridiron. The sexual imagery in football is a nod to this primitive urge, not an indication of a desire for gay sex.
A gay football player, however, does not fit into this equation. He's not playing the game to increase his sexual stature. Then why is he there?
See why Garrison Hearst was so upset?
Not that he has a right to be upset ...
Esera Tuaolo is the third admitted homosexual player in NFL history, following Dave Kopay and Roy Simmons. Since the league has been around for more than 75 years as of this writeup, there have certainly been scores of players who were homosexual but who never came out of the closet. Like I said, I can't blame them.
But Tuaolo didn't. In the fall of 2002, Tuaolo (who had retired after a 10-year career) told his story to HBO's Real Sports. It was a gut-wrenching experience to watch this 300-pound former defensive lineman break down and nearly cry as he cannot bear to tell the punch line of a homophobic joke he once heard in the locker room.
Tuaolo grew up in a poor family in Hawaii; his mother ran a banana plantation. He went to college at Oregon State University on an athletic scholarship and was a standout player on a very bad team. The Green Bay Packers drafted Tuaolo in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft.
He never managed to stay in one place too long; Tuaolo's longest run was from 1992-1996 with the Minnesota Vikings. In an article he wrote for ESPN The Magazine, Tuaolo remembers the fears he had after making a sack or otherwise having a great game.
I would get a sack, force a fumble, stuff a play on the goal line. And hours later, in the middle of the night, I'd wake up sweating, clutching my chest and gasping for breath. Maybe someone who knows saw that, I'd think to myself. Maybe they'll call the coach, or the owner, or the papers.
Tuaolo, ESPN The Magazine, October 30, 2002
Tuaolo went to bars and strip clubs with his teammates, and when he was on the road he made sure he was seen with women. Sometimes he even slept with them. After the season he'd fly back to Hawaii, meet up with his old friends who knew and accepted his sexual orientation and bask in the anonymity.
As his career wound down, the rumors started going around. (It didn't help that his partner, Mitchell Wherley, owned a spa that many of the Vikings' players' wives used.) Eventually, he began admitting his secret to teammates; in 2002, he decided to come out for good.
Tuaolo's announcement caused a minor media frenzy in sports media circles. Of the players who went on the record, most were supportive of Tuaolo; a few (including Hearst) were not. Many refused to comment, and it is likely that there is a strong level of anti-gay sentiment among NFL players.
Tuaolo lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with Wherley and their two children. He is currently an actor and a singer.

Dual-pricing isn't just for national parks, museums and amusement parks anymore. Public Hospitals.
By jacko, September 3, 2019 in Expat Issues
Thai public hospitals can now legally charge foreign nationals higher rates for services under new regulations published Friday.
More than dual-pricing, the new regs set four tiers of rates that can be charged based on a patient's visa status. Treatment costs are set at four levels: Thai nationals, foreigners from neighboring countries and working foreigners on non-immigrant visas. The fourth group consists of tourists and retirees.
While foreigners from other ASEAN nations appear to pay the same rates as Thai patients, they increase significantly for the third group – which includes most expats – while retirees and tourists really get the shaft.
For example, a simple antibody screening costs Thais and ASEAN residents THB130. Most expats will pay THB190 while retirees and tourists pay double – THB260.
Want an HIV test? The THB160 charged to Thais and ASEAN nationals goes up to THB240 for working expats and THB320 for retirees/tourists.
Thailand's medical tourism brought in an estimated THB18.4 billion baht ($US600 million) in 2018, but most seek treatment at private hospitals.
On the higher end, a spinal MRI that costs Thais and their neighbors THB18,700 jumps up to THB23,375 for working expats and THB28,050 for retirees/tourists.
The new rates come into effect Sept. 29.
The new rules essentially make it legal for public hospitals to charge more of foreign nationals, something that has been a source of complaints over the years when it happened illicitly.
Late last year, media reports said the health department and Hua Hin Hospital would refund over THB20,000 (US$650) to a Dutch man following years of complaints he'd been made to pay hundreds of baht in extra charges every time he traveled from Prachuab Khiri Khan for cancer treatments. It was unclear whether Erwin Buse ever received the compensation.
More anti-Western sentiment? Higher Insurance Premiums?
Edited September 3, 2019 by jacko
Maybe I live a sheltered existence, but I doubt the government hospitals are getting much medical tourism.

People around the world are saying goodbye to what many considered to be a troubling year.
Here's a look at how people are celebrating the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019.
The Pacific island nation of Kiribati was the first in the world to ring in the new year. In the capital Tarawa, many celebrated with church services and mostly quiet private events.
In Auckland, New Zealand, tens of thousands of people gathered around the 328-meter Sky Tower to watch a fireworks show. In other places, huge crowds gathered on beaches and streets as fireworks went off above city centers and seaports.
An estimated one million people crowded the Sydney Harbor, as Australia's largest city began the new year with a memorable fireworks celebration. More than 1 billion people around the world were expected to watch the fireworks on television. This year's fireworks show was one of the most complex in Australia's history.
Thousands of South Koreans were expected to fill the streets of the capital Seoul for a traditional bell ringing ceremony near City Hall.
And North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is expected to give his yearly address on New Year's Day. In his New Year's speech last year, Kim spoke of talks with South Korea to reduce tensions and said the North would be willing to take part in South Korea's Winter Olympics.
New Year's Eve is not celebrated widely in mainland China. The lunar New Year in February is a more important holiday. But countdown events were being held in major cities.
Beijing held an event with important guests at the main site of the 2008 Summer Olympics. The event looked ahead to the 2022 Winter Games, which will also be held in the Chinese capital.
In Hong Kong, the city's tallest building was brightly lit. There also was a show of fireworks, music and lights over Victoria Harbor. About 300,000 people were expected to gather along the port.
Hundreds of Thais traveled to a Buddhist religious center near the capital Bangkok to lie inside coffins for traditional funeral rituals. Those who take part believe the ceremony removes bad luck and permits them to be born again for a fresh start in the new year.
Famous musicians and people from all over the world will gather in Times Square in New York City to welcome 2019.
Watchers are expected to start gathering early in the afternoon Monday. The celebration will take place under strict security, as people wait for the traditional midnight crystal ball drop.

Action: Use artificial nests that discourage predation
Read our guidance on Key messages before continuing
Three trials in North America found lower predation or higher nesting success of wildfowl in nest boxes or nesting 'tubs' than natural nests in tree cavities or on the ground.
A trial in captivity found that raccoons could be prevented from entering nest boxes if they were topped with a metal cone with a 7.6 cm overhang and the distance between entrance hole and the roof was increased from 30 to 60 cm.
A replicated study in the USA found that fewer woods duck Aix sponsa used nest boxes with predator guards on when given the choice of unaltered boxes, but that both designs were used with equal frequency when only one design was available.
Background information and definitions
Nest boxes are distinctive and often easier to see than natural nests. Therefore there is the possibility that predators will learn to associate boxes with nests and target them specifically. This could even lead to nest boxes acting as 'ecological traps' – with birds using them preferentially but having very low reproductive success in them. Therefore, 'anti-predator' devices and boxes may be desirable.
Supporting evidence from individual studies
A replicated trial in woodland on Rhode Island, USA, in 1955-56 (Cronan 1957), found that installing predator guards on wood duck Aix sponsa nest boxes reduced the usage of nest boxes, compared to unguarded nest boxes, when birds were given a choice of boxes (55% of 40 boxes with guards used vs. 93% of 40 unguarded boxes). However, in areas where all boxes were either guarded or unguarded, there was no significant difference in usage (51% of 55 guarded nests used vs. 56% of 52 unguarded). This study is also discussed in 'Provide artificial nesting sites'.
A before-and-after study on a marshland site in Montana, USA (Craighead & Stockstad 1961), found that Canada goose Branta canadensis nests on raised artificial nesting platforms were significantly less likely to be predated than the population average (7% of 14 failed platform nests predated vs. population average of 61% of 404 failed nests). This study is discussed in detail in 'Provide artificial nest sites'.
A replicated, controlled study from 1958-1961 in multiple woodlots in Illinois, USA (Bellrose et al. 1964) found that wood ducks Aix sponsa had higher nesting success in nest boxes, compared to natural cavities (71% success for 574 metal nest boxes vs. 37% for 116 natural cavities). As racoon Procyon lotor predation accounted for most nest loss, the authors conclude that metal nest boxes provided some protection from predation. This study is also discussed in 'Provide artificial nest sites'.
A replicated study on a wetland site in Missouri, USA (Brakhage 1966), found that 2% of 268 Canada goose Branta canadensis clutches in artificial nest 'tubs' were predated in 1962-5, compared 32% of 106 clutches laid on the ground. Artificial nests consisted of 'No. 2 round washtubs' placed in trees, on fence posts or specially constructed stands and partially filled with sawdust and straw to allow geese to bury unattended eggs. Tubs were placed 1-20 m off the ground (height did not affect predation rate). Some nests were still considered useable after nine years.
A trial in captivity in Illinois, USA, in the 1960s (Eaton 1966) found that raccoons Procyon lotor could enter metal wood duck Aix sponsa houses (cylindrical metal houses with a 33 cm cone on top and a 10 cm circular entrance hole) more easily if the cone on top of the house was increased beyond the standard 33 cm. However, if the cone was extended to provide a 7.6 cm overhanging roof and the distance between entrance hole and the roof was increased from 30 to 60 cm, then none of the five raccoons tested could access the nest hole. Reducing the size of the entrance hole to 8.9 x 7 cm also prevented all raccoons from entering, but the authors warn that it is not certain whether wood ducks would use such entrances.

An assessment by independent experts of the effectiveness of this action based on the summarized evidence (0% = not effective, 100% = highly effective). This score is based on the direction and size of the effects reported in each study. Actions with high scores typically have large, desirable effects on the target species/habitat in each study. There is some variation between actions, e.g. 100% effectiveness in adding underpasses under roads for bat conservation will likely have different impacts to 100% effectiveness in restoring marsh habitat. The effectiveness score does not consider the quantity or quality of studies; a single, poorly designed study could generate a high effectiveness score. The effectiveness score is combined with the certainty and harms scores to determine the overall effectiveness category (for more details see https://www.conservationevidence.com/content/page/79).
An assessment by independent experts of the harms of this action to the target group of species/habitat, based on the summarized evidence (0% = none, 100% = major undesirable effects). Undesirable effects on other groups of species/habitats are not considered in this score. The harms score is combined with the effectiveness and certainty scores to determine the overall effectiveness category (for more details see https://www.conservationevidence.com/content/page/79).
An assessment by independent experts of the certainty of the evidence for this action based on the summarized evidence (0% = no evidence, 100% = high quality evidence). How certain can we be that the effectiveness score applies to all targets of the intervention (e.g. all birds for an action in the bird synopsis)? This score is based on the number, quality and coverage (species, habitats, geographical locations) of studies. Actions with high scores are supported by lots of well-designed studies with a broad coverage relative to the scope of the intervention. However, the definition of "lots" and "well-designed" will vary between interventions and synopses depending on the breadth of the subject. The certainty score is combined with the effectiveness and harms scores to determine the overall effectiveness category (for more details see https://www.conservationevidence.com/content/page/79).
Overall Effectiveness Category
The overall effectiveness category is determined using effectiveness, certainty and harms scores generated by a structured assessment process with multiple rounds of anonymous scoring and commenting (a modified Delphi method). In this assessment, independent subject experts (listed for each synopsis) interpret the summarized evidence using standardised instructions. For more details see https://www.conservationevidence.com/content/page/79.

Operatie Anthropoid (Operation Anthropoid, naar het Engelse woord voor mensaap of mensachtige) was een Tsjechisch-Britse actie uit 1942 met als doel het liquideren van de nazileider Reinhard Heydrich.

Achtergrond

Sedert 1939 was Heydrich de chef van het RSHA, een organisatie die de Gestapo, de Sicherheitsdienst (veiligheidsdienst) en de recherche overkoepelde. Hij was diegene die Hitlers tegenstanders liet verwijderen, en was later een van de spilfiguren in de planning van de genocide op de Joden. Hij was betrokken bij de meeste van Hitlers samenzweringen, en was een waardevolle adviseur van de dictator.

Vanwege zijn macht werd hij door vrijwel alle Wehrmacht-generaals gevreesd. In september 1941 werd hij tot Reichsprotektor van Bohemen en Moravië benoemd, als opvolger van Konstantin von Neurath, die door Hitler ondoeltreffend was bevonden. Gedurende zijn de facto dictatorschap van de regio liet Heydrich zich dikwijls in open wagen rondrijden, als teken van zelfvertrouwen en de efficiëntie van zijn repressieve maatregelen tegen de lokale bevolking. Vanwege zijn wreedheid had Heydrich ook de bijnamen de Slager van Praag, het blonde beest en de beul.

Strategische context
Tegen het einde van 1941 beheersten Hitlers legers vrijwel geheel continentaal Europa, en naderden ze Moskou. De westelijke geallieerden verwachtten de capitulatie van de Sovjet-Unie. De Tsjecho-Slowaakse regering in ballingschap van president Edvard Beneš stond onder grote druk van de Britse inlichtingendiensten vanwege het geringe zichtbare verzet in Tsjechië sinds het begin van de Duitse bezetting in 1939. Het Tsjechische verzet was met geweld vernietigd door Reinhard Heydrich. Ook produceerde Tsjechië veel militair materiaal voor de nazi's. De Tsjecho-Slowaakse regering in ballingschap wilde iets doen dat de bevolking inspiratie en moed zou geven en wilde de wereld tonen dat de Tsjecho-Slowaken bondgenoten waren.

De speciale operaties-cel (SOE) van het Verenigd Koninkrijk trainde het personeel en deed de planning. Als Hitlers gedoodverfde opvolger was Heydrich een van de belangrijkste nazikopstukken. Zijn dood zou een enorm verlies en een gedegen psychologische opdoffer zijn.

Operatie

Planning en dropping

Zeven soldaten van het Tsjecho-Slowaakse leger-in-ballingschap, waaronder de latere uitvoerders Jozef Gabčík en Jan Kubiš, werden door de RAF op 28 december 1941 boven Tsjechië gedropt. De beoogde landingsplaats lag nabij Pilsen maar doordat de piloten zich niet goed konden oriënteren, werd de groep bij Praag gedropt. Vandaar reisde de groep alsnog naar Pilsen om contact te leggen met plaatselijke verzetsgroepen, om vervolgens terug te keren naar Praag voor het uitvoeren van de eigenlijke missie.

In Praag konden de leden van de groep op de steun van verscheidene families en verzetsgroepen rekenen bij het maken van plannen voor het ombrengen van Heydrich. Een eerste plan, om Heydrich aan boord van een trein om te brengen, bleek niet haalbaar. Daarna probeerde de groep Heydrich tot stoppen te brengen op een weg in een bos, waar Heydrich zou passeren op weg naar zijn werk. Ze legden een kabel over de weg om hem de weg te versperren, en wachtten. Toen Heydrich na verscheidene uren nog steeds niet was langsgekomen, werd de actie afgeblazen. Het derde plan was om hem in Praag te liquideren.

Uitvoering

Op 27 mei 1942 reed Heydrich, zoals elke dag, van zijn huis in Panenské Břežany naar zijn werk in de Praagse burcht. Hij vertrok om 10.00 uur zonder politie-escorte.

Gabčík en Kubiš stonden langs de weg bij een bushalte opgesteld, vlak bij het Bulovka-ziekenhuis in de Praagse wijk Libeň. Josef Valčík stond 100 m ten noorden op de uitkijk. Toen Heydrichs Mercedes-Benz cabriolet naderbij kwam, sprong Gabčík voor de auto en probeerde te schieten. Zijn stengun blokkeerde echter. Heydrichs chauffeur, SS-Oberscharführer Klein, stopte de auto en schoot op Gabčík maar miste. Kubiš wierp een aangepaste antitankgranaat tegen het voertuig, vlak bij het rechter achterwiel. De granaat ontplofte en de scherven gingen dwars door de carrosserie en de bekleding, en verwondden uiteindelijk Heydrich. Heydrich probeerde nog te schieten maar zakte in elkaar. Klein rende in zijn eentje Gabčík achterna, maar werd bij deze achtervolging in zijn been geraakt door revolverschoten die Gabčík afvuurde.

Heinrich Himmler, Heydrichs directe meerdere, zag persoonlijk toe op de verzorging van zijn ondergeschikte. Tsjechische artsen, noch artsen van de Wehrmacht werd toegestaan Heydrich te opereren. In plaats daarvan stuurde Himmler zijn lijfarts. Op 4 juni overleed Heydrich echter, volgens een onvolledig uitgevoerde autopsie aan een bloedvergiftiging, waarschijnlijk veroorzaakt door het paardenhaar in de bekleding van zijn wagen dat met scherven van de granaat zijn lichaam zou zijn binnengedrongen.

In het licht van de geruchten dat Heydrich de enige man was waarop Himmler jaloers was, en een van de weinigen die hij vreesde, wordt gespeculeerd over de werkelijke intenties van Himmlers lijfarts. Volgens een andere speculatie zou de granaat door Britse bio-wapens experts zijn behandeld met botuline, een neurotoxine. Bestudering van het autopsierapport door patholoog Ivo Šteiner wees uit dat de bloedvergiftiging niet door een paardenhaar veroorzaakt is en dat de doodsoorzaak onzeker is.

Gevolgen

Wraakacties
Hitler beval de SS en de Gestapo "in bloed door Bohemen te waden" om de moordenaars te vinden. Aanvankelijk wilde Hitler op grote schaal willekeurige Tsjechen laten vermoorden, maar vervolgens besloot hij de moordpartij te beperken tot enkele duizenden personen. Het Tsjechische verzet moest volledig worden uitgeroeid. Tsjechië was van groot belang voor de Duitse militaire oorlogsmachine, en door moordacties op grote schaal zou een gebrek aan arbeidskrachten kunnen ontstaan. De bekendste wraakacties zijn de complete vernietiging van de dorpen Lidice en Ležáky. Ook werden meer dan 13.000 mensen gearresteerd.

De Britse premier Winston Churchill was zo woedend om de vernietiging van Lidice en Ležáky dat hij voorstelde om voor elk Tsjechisch dorp dat door de nazi's vernietigd was drie Duitse dorpen plat te bombarderen. Uiteindelijk stopten de geallieerden met het plannen van moordmissies uit angst voor soortgelijke wraakacties. Twee jaar later was er nog wel een mislukte missie, Operatie Foxley, om Hitler zelf te vermoorden. Operatie Anthropoid bleef de enige geslaagde aanslag op een nazikopstuk.

Opsporing van de moordenaars
De daders doken aanvankelijk onder bij twee Praagse families, en vluchtten later naar de Sint-Cyrillus-en-Methodiuskerk. De Gestapo kon hen niet vinden, totdat Karel Čurda (van de verzetsgroep "buiten afstand" met als doel sabotage) de lokale contactpersonen en onderduikadressen verraadde voor een premie van 1 miljoen Reichsmark. Zo ook het onderduikadres van de familie Moravec, Marie Moravec pleegde zelfmoord en vader Alois en zoon Vlastimil (Aka) werden meegevoerd voor ondervraging. Na het zien van het onthoofde hoofd van zijn moeder vertelde hij het onderduikadres in de kerk om de rest van zijn familie te redden. Op 24 oktober werden hij, zijn vader, zijn verloofde, haar moeder en haar broer geëxecuteerd. De meeste andere contactpersonen pleegden zelfmoord toen ze de Gestapo zagen komen.

Na de straat te hebben afgezet vielen de Duitsers op 18 juni binnen in de Kerk; Adolf Opálka, Josef Bublík en Jan Kubiš stonden op de uitkijk en startten een twee uur durend vuurgevecht waarna Opálka en Bublík gesneuveld waren. Kubiš was buiten bewustzijn door zware verwondingen en overleed later in het ziekenhuis. De rest van de groep bestaande uit Jozef Gabčík, Josef Valčík, Jaroslav Svarc, en Jan Hruby pleegde zelfmoord nadat de Duitsers traangas in de crypte gooiden en probeerden om die onder water te zetten. Karel Čurda werd in 1947, na een mislukte zelfmoordpoging, geëxecuteerd wegens hoogverraad.

Metropoliet Goradz nam verantwoordelijkheid voor de acties in de kerk. In een poging represailles tegen zijn gelovigen tegen te gaan, schreef hij brieven aan de Nazi-autoriteiten. Dezen arresteerden hem op 27 juni 1942 en martelden hem. Op 4 september 1942 werden metropoliet Goradz, de twee priesters van de kerk Václav Čikl en Vladimír Petřek, de koster en vooraanstaande leken in een buitenwijk van Praag door een vuurpeloton geëxecuteerd. 256 orthodoxe priesters en gelovigen werden eveneens geëxecuteerd of naar werkkampen in het Derde Rijk gestuurd. De orthodoxe kerken in Moravië en Bohemen werden gesloten en de kerk werd verboden te opereren. Metropoliet Serafim weigerde om een verklaring af te geven die Bishop Gorazd veroordeelde. Pas aan het einde van de oorlog kon de orthodoxe kerk in Tsjecho-Slowakije weer functioneren. Metropoliet Gorazd wordt als martelaar in de Orthodoxe Kerk vereerd.

Politieke gevolgen
Het succes van de operatie deed de Britten en de Fransen afzien van het Verdrag van München. Ze kwamen overeen dat na de oorlog Sudetenland weer een deel van Tsjecho-Slowakije zou worden. De Duitse bevolking zou worden uitgezet.

Aangezien Heydrich een van de belangrijkste nazikopstukken was werden er twee grote begrafenisplechtigheden gehouden. De eerste was in Praag, de weg naar het kasteel afgelijnd met duizenden SS'ers met toortsen. De tweede, in Berlijn, werd bijgewoond door alle nazileiders, inbegrepen Hitler zelf. Aan Heydrich werden door de Führer postuum twee decoraties toegekend: een van de Duitse Orde (nazi-Duitsland) en een van de Bloedorde.

Films, muziek, literatuur
De operatie was de basis voor de films Hangman also die (Beulen sterven ook) in 1943, Attentat in 1964, Operation Daybreak in 1975 en Anthropoid in 2016. De liquidatie inspireerde ook de rockgroep British Sea Power tot het nummer A Lovely Day Tomorrow. Dit was oorspronkelijk een B-kant maar werd opnieuw opgenomen. De Tsjechische versie van het nummer werd gezongen door Kateřina Winteřová van de Tsjechische groep The Ecstasy of St. Theresa. Ter gelegenheid van de Tsjechische toetreding tot de Europese Unie werd een beperkte oplage uitgebracht. Het aantal van 1942 exemplaren verwijst naar het jaar van de aanslag.
De Fransman Laurent Binet bracht in 2011 een roman op zijn naam over het leven en de ondergang van Heydrich. Het boek werd meteen een bestseller: HhhH: Himmlers hersens heten Heydrich (Meulenhoff, Amsterdam). De personages die in het boek voorkomen hebben bestaan of bestaan nog steeds. Binet heeft een boek geschreven waarin hij zich aan de feiten houdt, maar zich ook toestaat te balanceren op het scherp van fictie en werkelijkheid. In het voorjaar van 2017 zond de VPRO een zevendelige televisieserie uit die op Binets boek gebaseerd is.

The rath, like the borogove, was a puppet not required to do much, just stand about looking bewildered. So the body was sculpted and cast as a large piece of latex skin filled with soft cold foam. A four-part mold was made from the sculpture. It´s late in the day when I´m writing this and I don´t have the stamina to explain in detail how it was done. Look at the pictures.


One of the trickiest jobs for a scale model builder is mixing custom colors for their RC scale project. The difference between accurate and "pretty close" can be the difference between winning and not even placing at a scale contest. For those who are considering going the next step in scale accuracy, this article digs a little deeper into this "colorful" and often misunderstood part of scale modeling.
After collecting the proper aircraft color and markings documentation, the biggest challenge we modelers face is accurately reproducing the scale colors. Without the proper paint, our models can't match the documentation of the full-size aircraft. Many newcomers are quite surprised to learn that there really are no catch-all formulas for mixing military or civilian colors. Sure, you can buy cans of paint that say "Cub Yellow" or "Olive Drab," but more times than not, these pre-mixed colors still won't exactly match the shades of yellow or olive we want. The reasons for this are many, ranging from the amount of pigment used to the color of the primer that's under the final coat of paint. This is why if we want to be truly accurate in our color application, we have to be able to slightly alter the color, shade and hue of our paints.
The exact color of your secondary color depends on the proportions in which you mix the primary ones. Black and white aren't colors; they are tones and are used to lighten or darken the color. Black and white together creates gray. The complementary color for a primary color is what you get by mixing the other two primary colors. The complementary color for red is green (yellow and blue mixed); the complementary for blue is orange (red and yellow mixed); and the complementary for yellow is purple (red and blue mixed). If you mix all three primary colors together, you get a tertiary, or neutral, color. Neutral colors are browns and grays and they can also be created by mixing a primary color and a secondary color together.
It takes only a bit of a dark color to change a light color, but it takes considerably more of a light color to change a dark one. So for example, if you want a specific shade of blue, start by adding blue to a white base. Never add white to a blue base in an attempt to create a lighter blue. Generally speaking, basic military camouflage paint schemes include various shades of green, brown and gray.

For consistent results it is very important to use quality paints with consistent pigment and mixing qualities. One of the best we've used, and is a standard for many serious scale modelers is the line from Klass Kote. This two-part epoxy paint comes in many colors and has various catalyst to produce different levels of sheen or flatness. I do not mix brands so I always stick with what works. Klass Kote works.

Mixing colors is not just a chore reserved for scale modelers. Mixing colors also helps when you want to paint an engine cowl or wheel pants to match the rest of a film-covered sport plane. Sometimes just a little color tweak will make all the difference in the world. There really is a method to all this color madness, and once you learn the basic steps, you'll soon be able to duplicate any color you need. Just like anything else worth doing right, all it takes is practice and a little know-how.
Federal Standard color sample fan.
One basic rule you should always follow when painting a model is to apply the lightest colors first and then add darker colors. This usually means you apply the light underbelly pale blue or light gray color first. Next apply the lightest of the top surface colors and then apply the darker ones. When painting a Japanese Zero, in a South Pacific scheme, first paint the entire plane in the light blue under surface color, then add the medium gray or dark green upper surface color. If you paint light-colored aircraft markings and insignias, follow a similar procedure and first apply the marking color, mask off the numbers and insignias, then apply the other colors. When you remove the mask, the lighter insignia color will be revealed. Make sure you use a good-quality automotive masking tape. Like anything else in this hobby, it takes time and practice to perfect the technique. And by the way, color matching isn't just for the outer colors; interior cockpit colors, exposed engine colors and even wheel-well colors all need to be properly matched to your documentation.
Color perspective can really mess with you head. You can perfectly match the color chips and mix the colors but when you place the model outside in the sunlight, the colors look too intense. If you looked at a 1/4-scale model from 25 feet away, you would have to look at the full-size plane from 100 feet away for them both to look the same relative size. But there's four times as much space and air between your eyes and the full-size plane so, its colors seem slightly muted. To duplicate this on the model, you either have to mix all the paints slightly off color, or you can apply the lightest mist of medium gray over the entire model to alter its color perspective. This treatment goes over everything: canopy glass, markings, propeller blades, tires … everything that reflects light. But regardless of the type of weathering you're talking about, less is always more. Too little is always better than too much. We've only scratched the surface here about mixing custom colors, so if you have any questions or comments, please post a comment below.
To truly appreciate scale models with superbly painted and weathered finishes, you have to attend a national- or regional-level competition such as Top Gun, the AMA Scale Nationals or the U.S. Scale Masters Championships. The models competing at these levels are true works of art.

What do we know about Western Nations' intelligence on the Syrian chemical weapons attack, and who was behind it?
It's a question that many people in and out of government have – whether for or against intervention – ever-mindful of the Iraq weapons of mass destruction fiasco.
On Monday, CNN's Christiane Amanpour examined the issue with two experts: Jean Pascal Zanders, a chemical weapons expert, and Greg Thielmann, former chief of the nonproliferation analysis office in the State Department's intelligence bureau.
Thielmann agreed that more information should be made available, especially because of the Iraq experience, but said that he personally found the case against Assad persuasive.
That data, he said, indicated that the flashes all originated from "government-held" areas.
The second piece of evidence Thielmann cited were intercepts between Syrian commanders discussing the chemical weapons attack, reportedly provided by Israeli intelligence.
But both Zanders and Thielmann said that the public deserved to see those transcripts, which as of yet have remained secret.
"I think there are quite a number of intercepts that could be published in full," Zanders said.
Zanders, the chemical weapons expert, urged the governments to be "very honest," and put all of their evidence – for and against chemical weapons use – on the table for all to see.
Germany has added a new element to the evidence mix; over the weekend, a German newspaper reported that German intelligence intercepted communications that indicated al-Assad had repeatedly denied his military approval for chemical attacks. They still, however, believe that his regime was responsible for the August 21 attack that gripped the world's attention.
The aftermath chemical weapons attack, and President Obama's subsequent pledge for military action, has proven to be a fast-moving and surprising story – and Monday was no exception.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that his country was urging Assad to turn over its chemical weapons to international control.
Syria, while neither confirming nor denying its chemical weapons stockpile, said it "welcomes" the proposal.
In other words, it will all come down to whether Assad actually hands over control.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article mistakenly identified Greg Thielmann as the "former director of the U.S. State Department Bureau of Intelligence." He is in fact the former chief of the nonproliferation analysis office in the State Department's intelligence bureau.
better questions and reporting tan previous eager ones. however, the video was not helpful since no one knows whether these people were attacked by the gov or the rebels. no causal association to what is being discussed.
You say you had muzzle flashes 90 minutes before the first cases were reported. Were there no other muzzle flashes during that time? Of course, a muzzle flash for a false flag operation would originate within a government held area. Even a CIA agent would know that.
If the Syrians agree to the Chemical Weapons Convention, Zionist Israel must be forced to do the same as well as NPT, regarding the criminal Zionists' stockpile of nuclear weapons. No more double-standards in dealing with the people of that part of the world; otherwise, there will be more problems in the future. The double-standards are as evil as the weapons.
As to the following two paragraphs, I will believe the Germans. The Israelis have been supplying weapons to the rebels. Israel should be included – as a suspect – in the ongoing investigation regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Since Germany has not dog in the fights ,so to speak, I ceretainly take their intercepts over Israel, who are itching for provacation to attack Iran.Frankly, as an American I am embarrassed for those, albeit just a few,from our hundreds of thousands of our "intercepters" who were so busy intercepting their girl/boy friends..I am equally embarrassed by the Russians' ability to navigate through diplomacy while our "leader:" and his cronies keep raising the threats from Iran and their avatars and the N.Koreans and their blasted-up missles. While I am at it...dif you hear Obama coyly mention that he discussed this new peoposal with Putin..and why didn't he mention this earlier?
omg Christian ,, what happened to you? I so respected your coverage throughout the Iraq war. You were truly a hard hitting journalist then. But to watch you come out so obviously as a Whitehouse talking head over this Syria debacle,it really saddens me. They have brought you in to obviously lend some international credibility to this hodgepodge group of weak chinned wannabe reporters at CNN. It sickened me to watch your 360 roundtable lunacy and war mongering by your panel tonight. Watching you continually misquote Assad and completely deny the overwhelming evidence all over the world that it was the CIA backed terrorists. I could see the fear in all of your eyes when a real journalist who was actually there told you that you were all wrong. Immediately you cut him off and went back to the CIAs talking points. I feel real bad for what has happened to you.
Helen THOMAS where art thow??
geez rufus,,thanks for quoting verbatim the whitehouse talking points as spun by your obvious only source of info,that being CIANN....these admissions you refer to are taken out of context and purposely misinterpreted to coincide with a path to the globalists agenda. ASK THE WHITEHOUSE WHAT WHITE PHOSPHOROUS IS THE NEXT TIME THEY GET ALL INDIGNANT ABOUT HOW WARFARE IS FOUGHT !!!


Funky, cool and quirky. The pop artist in you will love this luxury boutique city hotel. Developed by the Press Up Entertainment Group, which also operates U2's Clarence Hotel, The Dean is an urbane and boldly-designed hotel that gives Dublin city's boutique hotel scene a much-needed jolt.
I noted recently that the Irish Government has invested heavily in the last few years in improving the road network across Ireland, has this made many of these wonderful hotels more accessible or are they easy to find already?
As a native of Dublin who used spend half a day to get to the other side of this small island I have to say the road network now is light years ahead of what it was. Take change for the motorway tolls!
Ireland has alot of new infrastructure which lets you get from one side of the country to the other much faster. We have kept our smaller more picturesque routes though, so we have the best of both worlds.

Big Blue Bike Buy: Investors Acquire Citi Bike, Take the Rest of Alta, Too
Bike Share Holdings LLC, a newly-formed investment venture that includes the CEOs of upscale fitness company Equinox and its parent company the Related Companies, has purchased both Citi Bike and its parent company, Portland, Ore.-based Alta Bicycle Share, the company announced today, in a move that will double the size of New York's shared bicycle fleet, while at the same time increasing costs.

Something else Related now has a hand in. (Amanda Cohen/the Observer)
Bike Share Holdings LLC, a newly-formed investment venture that includes the CEOs of upscale fitness company Equinox and its parent company the Related Companies, has purchased both Citi Bike and its parent company, Portland, Ore.-based Alta Bicycle Share, the company announced today, in a move that will double the size of New York's shared bicycle fleet, while at the same time increasing costs. The deal was first reported by Capital New York earlier this week.
Most notably, the deal will add 6,000 new bikes, for a long-awaited expansion that was derailed first by Hurricane Sandy and then by software glitches that have continued to bedevil the program more than a year after its launch. The new bicycles will go first to docking stations in Northern Brooklyn and Western Queens that were slated to receive bicycles before the storm destroyed equipment stored in a Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse, according to The Wall Street Journal. It is not clear if it will include the Upper West Side, which was part of Alta's planned phase 2 bike share rollout, which is expected to increase the number of stations from 330 to 700 by the end of 2017. The new company, which is to be known as Bike Share Holdings LLC, did not release details of the planned expansion or annual membership price increases, though The Journal reported that they were expected to rise from $95 to $145 a year, possibly before improvements had been rolled out.
The deal, which was originally rumored to be a $20 million investment this spring, quickly became an acquisition deal, with a joint venture referred to in the press REQX said to be negotiating a majority stake in both Citi Bike and its parent company. The total acquisition of Alta by individual investors associated with both companies as well as Jonathan Schulhof, is something of a late-breaking surprise, one that will come with a corporate relocation, according to the company, with Alta relocating and consolidating its headquarters in New York City. The move will not only give the investors control over New York's bike share program, but also many other programs around the U.S. and internationally. Alta, though quite young, is arguably the leading bike share company in the U.S., having been at the forefront of the budding bike share movement. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.
The City of New York and Alta are entering into a new contract for the expansion of Citi Bike, according to the company.
"The acquisition will bring fresh capital to the company," according to a release—reportedly $30 million—"allowing Alta to improve the customer experience as it expands operations to serve more riders."
Notably, the acquisition and fresh capital will allow the troubled program to truly be a test case for whether or not bike share can be self-supporting, as Bloomberg had promised, and at what cost to riders, a question that has been clouded by the natural disasters and start-up difficulties that plagued Citi Bike in its first year and a half.

Senator Dennis Linthicum: Twin Pincers
Aug 12, 2019 | News Ticker, Opinion, Senator Dennis Linthicum |
The current fiasco on the national stage, with the House Democrats threatening to impeach President Trump and all of the fanfare in Washington, DC isn't really anything new. We've seen it all before and we've all heard the proverb, "There is nothing new under the sun."
What I find most compelling about the sordid affair is that conservatives are being 'woke' in a new way. Up until now, the political left had control over what subjects needed to be 'woken,' but now the underhanded nature and deceit of the whole 'investigation' has put big government, itself, on trial and that's what the left finds unacceptable. What… dismantle the deep-state?
Back in the early 1950's our nation faced a similar set of hearings. The Republican House was investigating communist infiltration efforts within the State Department and federal government. They used FBI resources and federal manpower to expose the seriousness of Russia's efforts. Similar to today's fanfare, everyone was absorbed by the gossip and accusations that made headlines, only then, it was proven true and today it appears to be only "fake-news."
Whitaker Chambers was one of the key witnesses. He was a former communist party member who had abandoned that part of his life's destructive trajectory. During the trial, he said he hoped his testimony would help Americans, "recognize at last that they are at grips with a secret, sinister, and enormously powerful force whose tireless purpose is their enslavement."
Chambers identified the many famous names who added weight to the fervor for communism. Included were well-known authors John Steinbeck and Lillian Hellman, along with poets Malcolm Cowley, Archibald MacLeish and Dorothy Parker. These were the Hollywood elites and MTV crowd of the day who weren't afraid to be known as communist sympathizers. At the time, politicians and bureaucrats had to keep their socialist leanings under wraps, unlike today's Democrat party presidential candidates.
In Oregon today, just as we see at the federal level, our freedoms are being squeezed by the ever-present, twin pincers of socialism. One tong is the Marxist revolutionaries, like the Antifa gang in downtown Portland, who desire power through violence. Marx, after all, wanted to achieve his goals through revolution. The other tong is gradualism. This is the slow and meticulous pressure that comes through rules, regulations, laws, commissions and agencies springing from the fertile womb of the maternal state.
During each legislative session, legislators pass more laws and the state gains more power, while families and individuals lose freedom. The bureaucracies, agencies, administrative and executive offices exercise greater control over more and more facets of our individual lives.
Both pincers have the potential to crush and destroy our existing culture and force monopolistic government power over the people of Oregon.
In his 1979 book, The World in the Grip of an Idea, scholar and economist, Clarence Carson explains why political forces focus on deriding traditional values, family, sexuality, property and Christianity:
"The engine of Marxism is hatred, hatred for everything as it is, hatred of religion, hatred of the family, hatred of the division of labor, hatred of the state, hatred of capitalists, hatred of property, hatred of the "rural idiocy" (as Marx put it) of farmers, and, yes, hatred of industrial workers. … Above all, Marxism is a hatred of the past, everything shaped out of it, everything drawn from it, which is to say, just about everything. In short, Marxism hates man as he is and has been."
Carson's book examines the results of socialism across three countries, England, Sweden, and the United States and his conclusion is:
"The modus operandi of Marxism is destruction. That is the true meaning of Marxian revolution. It is no simple seizure of political power. … All the actuality that has been accumulated through the ages must be destroyed—property relationships, religious belief, family ties, legal forms, the intellectual heritage, culture and civilization itself. How else, but by tyranny, can such a destruction be wrought?"
Therefore, we must align our Hope with Virtue, Tradition and Truth. We must avoid getting trampled by a manipulated worldview where up is down, left is right, male is female, and nothing is as it once was. Otherwise, we will find ourselves standing squarely in the quicksand of uncertainty.
There is no reason to buy into the super-majority's demonization of businesses as the source of our state's problems. Businesses are the source of productivity.
There is no reason to dismantle our historical and societal understanding of male and female, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, and all of their various and sundry complicated relationships. They are the source of our families, our friends and our communities.
There is no reason to disrespect the fundamental right of a parent to direct the care, teaching and education of their own children. Self-government requires that families master themselves, including the management of their own affairs as individuals, families and through voluntary associations of church and community.
There is no reason to imagine that "free college" will make college tuition less expensive. Neither will "free college" solve the employability problems of our youth nor will it increase our state's labor force participation rates. Ownership and personal responsibility are the truest source of productive freedom for the individual. A student's motives, desires and goals must be priced into the decision-making process of choosing an education or career path.
The political crisis of our time comes from people imagining that governments, gorged with taxpayer money and immense regulatory power, can provide individuals with an endless array of efficient services, security and liberty.
Remember the proverb, "There is nothing new under the sun?" The danger we face has been seen before. Alexis De Tocqueville described it in his 1832 book, Democracy in America:
"[The power of government] covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power . . . does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes and stupefies a people, until each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and hard-working animals, of which the government is the shepherd."
Allow Freedom to win. Vote for traditional values, fiscal responsibility and enforcing constitutional restraints on governmental authority.
Our firmness, resolution and perseverance are the tools we possess to protect our ourselves, our families and posterity from the historical tragedy of socialism. Let us not become "sheeple" following mindlessly to our own demise. Instead, let us continue to make our voices heard through the ballot box, peaceful rallies, public testimony for truth and science, and our own unwavering commitment to voluntary markets, individual liberty and personal responsibility.
Remember, if we don't stand for rural Oregon values and common-sense, no one will!

We need the involvement and support from individuals like you in order to continue providing the services fewer organizations are offering. Reductions in human services funding has come at the worst possible time — New Jersey's unemployment rate hovers between eight and nine percent and growing numbers of middle-class families are losing their homes. Individuals who formerly donated to Catholic Charities now find themselves seeking our help.
Please help those most vulnerable in central New Jersey through a tax-deductible donation to Catholic Charities.
Our annual Circle of Friends major gifts campaign focuses on individuals giving gifts that enable us to continue renewing lives and restoring hope for the more than 100,000 people we serve each year regardless of religious affiliation.
As a Circle of Friends member, your gift will make a significant impact on both our programs and the people we serve. With traditional funding for human services diminishing from state and federal sources, your leadership and financial support have become even more critical to our mission to help those most vulnerable.
Your gift will provide the foundation for our vital services including food for the hungry, emergency services for those in crisis, shelter for the homeless, services for those looking to break the cycle of domestic violence, hope for the mentally ill and other desperately needed services.
Please review the levels of annual giving support and give thoughtful consideration to how you can aid those most in need.

World's Hottest Golf Coach Selects Callaway
12.04am 4th March 2011 - People
Pete Cowan
Callaway announce that Pete Cowen, the world's most in-demand coach with top tournament professionals, has decided to join its Tour team with immediate effect.
Cowen, who is coach to recent World Number One, plus two reigning major champions, and achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 'treble' at the Open Championship at St Andrews in 2010, joins the likes of David Leadbetter and Dave Pelz on Callaway's advisory staff.
"Pete is the hottest golf coach in the world right now and has achieved remarkable success with his players, which is why our Tour team and everyone at Callaway is so excited that he has decided to move to our brand," said Neil Howie, President of Callaway Golf Europe, Middle East and Africa.
"Pete is renowned for his drive, attention to detail and his determination to optimise every player's performance – characteristics consistent with the Callaway ethos."
Neil Howie added: "We are well aware that Pete's move to Callaway is seen as a major coup in the golf industry. His decision to move to Callaway is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to equipment, innovation, custom fitting, the Tour and, above all, player performance."
Pete Cowen's latest success has been to upgrade Callaway Staff Professional and Ryder Cup hero Thomas Bjorn's game, returning him to winning ways at February's Commercialbank Qatar Masters.
It follows a remarkable 12 months where players coached by Cowen proved themselves in the Majors with a 2nd place at The Masters, a US Open victory and 1-2-3 'treble' at St. Andrews.
A former Tour professional himself, Pete Cowen has established a global reputation for his expertise and ability to transform players' games, with his pupils suggesting he has a genius' eye for the golf swing.
Commenting on joining Callaway, Pete Cowen said: "To be one of Callaway's brand ambassadors, alongside greats such as Annika Sorenstam, Arnold Palmer, David Leadbetter and Johnny Miller is a true honour. Callaway has been at the forefront of golf equipment technology for more than 25 years and I look forward to playing my part in the ongoing success of this company and brand."

As many of you know, I've been living here in Geneva, Switzerland since I moved away from the Philippines in 2013, working primarily for UN agencies, telling stores through videos, photography and developing visual design strategies. Within the last few months, the yearning for getting back to a more creative format has been calling, so I'm going back to my roots as a clothing designer while still working at engaging agencies in the fields of aid & development and public health.
My work allows me to travel a lot between Asia, Africa and Europe, and it's on these journey's that I'm most inspired, whether I'm behind a lens, giving direction to my crew, or in a market fabric shopping.
Years ago when I started my own design house, some of you may remember that I was drawn to upholstery fabrics because of color and texture, and this remains true today with wax prints as they remind me of my earlier days of inspiration, home made quilts, quite common in the Southern portion of the United States where I grew up.
Dutch Wax Prints also known as African wax prints are omnipresent and common materials for clothing in Africa, especially West Africa. They are industrially produced, colorful cotton cloths with batik printing. One feature of these materials is the lack of difference in the color intensity of front and back side. The wax fabric can be sorted into categories of quality due to the processes of manufacturing.
The producer, name of the product and registration number of the design is printed on the selvage, protecting the design and allowing reading the quality of the fabric.
The design of the wax print fabrics already has an influence on the international world of fashion and lifestyle. They are an inspirational source for designers and companies, hence Africa Influenced.
With that, feel free to check out the small capsule collection featured here that I produced from wax fabrics with my tailor in the Philippines. All of the pieces featured are 1-of-a-kind with some having already been sold.There are more pieces on the way and we will upload them as they arrive. They are 1-of-a-kind.
Enjoy our journey as we still Engage our Audience With Content That Matters.


INDIANAPOLIS � Peyton Manning and the rest of the Colts accepted Jim Caldwell�s plan.
The hometown fans didn�t like the imperfect ending one bit.
The New York Jets ended the Colts� pursuit of perfection and their NFL-record 23-game winning streak with a 29-15 victory that had fans serenading Lucas Oil Stadium with boos and Manning, the three-time MVP, offering support for his coach�s decision.
�Until any player in here is the head coach, you follow orders and you follow them with all of your heart,� Manning said.
Only one other team � the 2007 New England Patriots � had gone 15-0 in the regular season. Only two other teams, the Patriots and 1972 Miami Dolphins, had ever gone into the playoffs with a perfect record.
Don Shula�s Dolphins are still the only NFL team to go an entire season undefeated, and he congratulated the Colts on their attempt at a perfect season.
Manning was 14-of-21 for 192 yards, playing long enough to join Brett Favre, Dan Marino and John Elway as the only members of the 50,000-yard club.
Caldwell, players and team president Bill Polian, however, said perfection was never the goal; winning the Super Bowl was.
And on Sunday, they showed exactly what they meant.
Patriots 35, Jaguars 7: Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, three to Randy Moss, and New England�s young defense put together its third straight solid game, clinching the AFC East and further dimming Jacksonville�s slim postseason chances.
Brady bounced back after throwing for just 307 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in his previous two games.
He completed 23-of-26 passes for 267 yards, reminiscent of his brilliance the last time the teams met: 26-of-28 for 262 yards with three TDs and no interceptions in a 31-20 divisional playoff win on Jan. 12, 2008.
Bengals 17, Chiefs 10: Carson Palmer�s touchdown pass to Chad Ochocinco completed a 98-yard drive in the closing minutes, sending Cincinnati to the AFC North championship at the end of a rough week.
The Bengals (10-5) moved into the playoffs for only the second time in the past 19 years after dealing with the death of receiver Chris Henry.
The teary practices and locker-room grief seemed to show against the Chiefs (3-12), who stayed close in a mistake-filled game.
Steelers 23, Ravens 20: Jeff Reed�s 38-yard field goal put Pittsburgh ahead with 5:25 remaining, and the Steelers finally managed to hold a fourth-quarter lead to remain in playoff contention and further jumble the AFC postseason race.
Texans 27, Dolphins 20: Houston raced to an early 27-point lead, then held on to remain in the AFC playoff scramble.
The Texans (8-7) scored on their first five possessions and won despite being outscored 20-0 in the final 31 minutes.
Houston kept alive its slim hopes of making the playoffs for the first time, while defending AFC East champion Miami (7-8) was all but eliminated.
Browns 23, Raiders 9: Jerome Harrison had 148 yards rushing and Cleveland won its third straight, extending a surprising streak that Eric Mangini can use to strengthen his case to Mike Holmgren that he deserves to remain Cleveland�s coach.
With consecutive victories over Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Oakland, the Browns (4-11) have their first three-game winning streak since 2007.

Nature Speaks: Storytelling Connects Kids to the Natural World
Mar 31, 2022 09:30AM ● By Carrie Jackson
natalia/AdobeStock.com
Children are natural storytellers with imaginations that shape their play and learning. In outdoor settings, everything from puddles to pine cones can engage children and draw them closer to the natural world, opening up a lifelong appreciation of natural environments. Connecting with nature also improves creativity, academic performance and attentiveness, while reducing stress and aggressive behavior, a body of research shows.
Organizations, like the Wilderness Awareness School, a Duvall, Washington-based nonprofit, work to help children and adults cultivate healthy relationships with nature, community and self. "We find that children who feel at home in the outdoors are often more resourceful, creative and allow for curiosity to naturally unfold," says Leah Carlson, director of marketing and communications at Wilderness Awareness School. "Allowing them to play freely and explore in nature is a wonderful way to build resilience and resourcefulness. When children can be intrigued through a story, it also allows them to understand their own outdoor experiences. They become more adept at finding new solutions to problems using the tools they have access to and creative thinking."
Weaving storytelling into their programs helps children understand their outdoor experiences. "Regular time spent with experienced nature mentors, playing games, exploring unique plants and animals and getting excited about the possibilities of nature is how a connection begins. When children are outside, the characters of these stories are the plants, animals, rocks and landforms around them. The suburban tree that was always an obstacle on the sidewalk can be seen through new eyes as a dragon, monkey bars or a red alder," Carlson explains.
Megan Zeni, a public school teacher in Steveston, British Columbia, says there is a global body of research that shows every measure of wellness is improved through time spent outside. She teaches solely outdoors, ensuring that her students have exposure to nature regardless of which neighborhood they live in. "In our modern world, higher-income families generally have better access to green spaces. Incorporating outdoor activities into the school day gives children equitable exposure to nature and outdoor learning," she explains.
Zeni uses both non-fiction and fiction storytelling approaches to teaching. "To learn about water cycles, I'll have kids jump in puddles, observe where the water goes and track where it is in the community. They'll then relay a fact-based story based on their observations and experiences. For a lesson on squirrels, I'll ask the students to imagine where their habitat is, who their family is and what they eat. We use loose parts, which are open-ended items, such as pine cones and sticks, to creatively illustrate the story.
"By using storytelling as a measure of knowledge, it is more equitable for students who don't perform as well using traditional test and essay methods," she says. Listening to a child's story can also reveal misconceptions that can be clarified through further exploration and instruction.
Storytelling can take on many forms and be enhanced with the use of props. As the artistic director of Rootstock Puppet Co., based in Chicago, Mark Blashford performs puppet theater rooted in stories that promote mutual kindness and ecological awareness. "Puppets are remarkable storytelling agents because, not only can they play characters and support narrative through movement, they can also tell a story from the very material they inhabit," he says. "Puppets invite kids to exercise empathy by compelling them to accept and invest in the thoughts, feelings and life of another entity."
By making puppets out of wood and using them to weave environmental awareness into his shows, Blashford helps to put the natural world in perspective. "My show TIMBER! is about an entire forest and a single tree which is home to a family of spotted owls. I want children to see the role of both the forest and the tree in the lives of an owl family. When they fall in love with little wooden puppet owls, they are able to convert the giant concept of deforestation into a manageable scale," he says.
He encourages parents to regularly engage their children with their natural habitat. "Go to your local forest or park, find a tree, name it and check on it as often as you can. Prompt children to ask questions about who they think lives in that tree, why the branches stretch out how they do and what happens at night. As children learn to see the outdoor world as part of their own characters and setting, the stories will develop naturally," he advises.

What is a 'Complete Protein Food'?
Protein is made up of twenty amino acids. Nine of these amino acids are not made by the body. These nine amino acids must come from food and are considered essential. Therefore those foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are called "complete protein foods". One example of a complete protein food is eggs.

One of the most complete food sources, cacao, is extremely nutrient dense. I LOVE Cacao!


It has taken us all a few days to convalesce after the excitement surrounding the plenitude of events, openings and parties that surrounded Armory Arts Week. The whole city seemed to come alive as artists, gallerists, dealers and arts enthusiasts actively engaged and buzzed around all corners of the five boroughs, and our own home-grown Bushwick Armory Gallery Late Night was no different. Despite the fact that many of the galleries were also participating in other events including Volta, Fountain Art Fair, SPRING/BREAK and Scope, thirty galleries rallied to stay open past their normal business hours to welcome the swarms of visitors who participated in the gallery tour.
Because there is always too much good stuff to see, Katarina Hybenova and Allison Galgiani decided to divide and conquer, choosing some of their favorite shows of the night to share.

A collection of news containing online gambling information
December 14, 2022 adminchord
Traditionally, poker has been considered to be a descendant of French poque and German primero, but its origins are not fully known. One theory suggests that it was originally taught to French settlers in New Orleans by Persian sailors.
The game is played with a standard 52-card deck. The cards are dealt clockwise around the table. A betting interval takes place after each round of dealing.
The player with the highest ranked hand takes the pot. A bluffing technique allows players to win without revealing their hand.
Players can discard up to three cards. In addition, they may choose to make a bet with their best hand. A hand that is folded is still receiving cards until a bet is made. A hand that is folded is sometimes called a "stand pat" hand.
When a player folds, he is no longer in contention for the pot. Likewise, a player who is forced out is no longer in contention for the pot. The pot is then divided among the players.
Poker can be played with any number of players. The ideal number is between six and eight. The number of rounds of betting depends on the type of game being played.
The first round of betting is done with a minimum hand. The flop is the set of three face up cards that are placed face up after the first round of betting.
A second round of betting follows. In this round, the player with the highest ranked poker hand takes the pot. The showdown occurs when the remaining players reveal their hands.

Stuckey Says Pistons 'not on the same page'
But the Pistons — who entered this season with owner Tom Gores making publicly known that he fully expects a playoff berth — were 19-27 entering Monday's game at the Miami Heat and in danger of missing the postseason for the fifth consecutive time.
"It seems like every year there's new players who you're trying to get accustomed to," (Rodney) Stuckey told USA TODAY Sports by phone recently. "It's just trying to figure each other out and all being on the same page. I really don't think right now …"
He pauses ever so slightly.
"We're not on the same page," he continued. "It's difficult to try to go out there and try to win games and win games consistently."

Where does the District funding come from?
Funding for the District comes from a land assessment of $0.05 per acre and a water assessment of $1.00 per acre-foot authorized under a water right. If the water user does not use the entire acre-feet authorized, they may file a verified claim with the District no later than April 1st of each year.
Who needs a water right?
Anyone that withdrawals water, other than for domestic use, is required to have a permit.
The Kansas Water Appropriation Act protects people's rights to use water and also protects the state's supply of groundwater and surface water for future use. Good water conservation should be practiced by all water users.
When do I need to submit an application?
A completed application form must be submitted at least 60 days prior to planned construction.
When should I contact the GMD before construction?
The District requires that we receive at least 72 hours notice prior to beginning construction.
What type of casing material is required for a cased borehole?
The surface casing material must be non-metallic and must be approved for water well use.
What size of casing is required for a cased cathodic borehole?
The District requires the surface casing to have a standard dimension ration (SDR) of at least 21. The SDR is calculated by dividing the casing ourside diameter (OD) by its minimum wall thickness (MWT). A common problem found on many applications is providing a general casing OD instead of the actual OD. This error may provide an SDR that is not acceptable by the District.
How deep into bedrock does the surface casing need to be set?
The surface casing must be set at least 20 feet into shale or impermeable bedrock.
How can I determine the depth to bedrock and the depth to water to complete my application?
The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) maintains a number of very useful web pages devoted to the water resources of Kansas, such as WIZARD, and WWC5, that can provide depths to water and bedrock. Also available are county bulletins that provide detailed descriptions of the hydrogeology of the District.
Does a representative for the GMD need to be present during construction?
Yes. A District representative is required to be present to ensure that approved materials are used during construction, and to ensure that boreholes are set into an approved geologic formation.
Can grouting/conducting materials not approved by the NSF be used to complete a cathodic borehole?
No, not without a specific waiver. The Big Bend, High Plains Aquifer is a valuable resource to all the people within the District. Use of non-approved materials may jeopardize the integrity of the aquifer.
Do I need to submit an application for surface pit?
If an excavated drilling pit is to be used in the place of an above ground or portable pit, an application for surface pit needs to be supplied with the proper application form.
Are there any forms other than the application form that need to be submitted?
A construction plan that illustrates the information contained in Form CP-10 or CP-15.
A plat map describing the area in which the work will be completed (Form CP-20).
Copies of all applicable forms from KCC (KSONA-1, AC-01, CDP-1) and KDHE (WWC5).
The District also requires the submission of the GMD #5 Well Completion (As Built) Plan, and associated paperwork outlined in this plan, upon completion of the cathodic borehole.

An anterior wall myocardial infarction — also known as anterior wall MI, or AWMI, or anterior ST segment elevation MI, or anterior STEMI — occurs when anterior myocardial tissue usually supplied by the left anterior descending coronary artery suffers injury due to lack of blood supply. When an AWMI extends to the septal and lateral regions as well, the culprit lesion is usually more proximal in the LAD or even in the left main coronary artery. This large anterior myocardial infarction is termed an extensive anterior.
The ECG findings of an acute anterior myocardial infarction wall include:
ST segment elevation in the anterior leads (V3 and V4) at the J point and sometimes in the septal or lateral leads, depending on the extent of the MI. This ST segment elevation is concave downward and frequently overwhelms the T wave. This is called "tombstoning" for obvious reasons; the shape is similar to that of a tombstone.
Reciprocal ST segment depression in the inferior leads (II, III and aVF).
According to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines for STEMI, there must be "new ST segment elevation at the J point in at least two contiguous leads of ≥ 2 mm (0.2 mV) in men or 1.5 mm (0.15 mV) in women in leads V2-V3 and/or of ≥ 1 mm (0.1 mV) in other contiguous chest leads or the limb leads." This means 1 millimeter in any two contiguous leads, except leads V2 or V3, where the elevation must be 2 mm in men or 1.5 mm in women.
See the full 12-lead ECG example below and a few more at the bottom.
The ECG findings of an old anterior wall MI include the loss of anterior forces, leaving Q waves in leads V1 and V2. This is a cause of poor R wave progression, or PRWP.
Here is an example of an old anterior wall MI:
Note: To distinctly say that an old anterior wall MI is present on the ECG, there must be no identifiable R wave in lead V1 — and usually V2, as well. If there is an R wave in V1 or V2, the term poor R wave progression, but not old anterior wall MI, can be used.
On rare occasions, persistent ST segment elevation may be seen in V1 and/or V2, indicating a ventricular aneurysm — a known complication of a myocardial infarction. Visit Left Ventricular Aneurysm ECG Review or Left Ventricular Aneurysm Topic Review. An example of an old anterior myocardial infarction with a left ventricular aneurysm is below.
