Váňův kámen (Váňa's Stone)
Váňův kámen (Váňa's Stone) (Kopřivnice)
The rock of Váňa's Stone (420 MAMSL), formerly the Devil's Stone, is located on the border of the historic estate of Hukvaldy and Nový Jičín-Štramberk. In 1643 and later in 1695, important peasant rebellions occurred here.
For the first time unruly serfs from Hukvaldy estate probably gathered at Váňa's Stone May 19, 1643, from almost all villages of the estate (except three). Although they came without weapons, the situation looked menacing. A negotiation by Episcopal officials and serfs reached an amicable settlement. The lordship was forced to retreat and promise that it won't require more benefits and obligations.
The second assemblage of serfs of Hukvaldy estate began June 26, 1695. The camp of the rebels was in the immediate vicinity of the border Hukvaldy and Nový Jičín-Štramberk estate. The rock allowed the rebels a view of Hukvaldy castle. The Chief Governor of Hukvaldy estate Maximilian Harasovský of Harasova gave the impetus to a gathering of peasants with his arrogant behavior. Serfs did not use violence during the rebellion and because of that they earned the respect of government offices. They found advocacy in the Moravian Tribunal and Emperor Leopold I. Asked for gentle dealings with them. In the end the revolt was a bit of a success, leading to a partial reduction of forced labor. Bohumír Strnadel-Četyna processed this important historical event in a book called One day after the solstice.
A bronze plaque was unveiled to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the peasant uprising at Vaňa's stone in 1995.
Devil's or Váňa's Stone?
Váňa's Stone is also shrouded in numerous legends. According to one of them, the devil dropped a stone in flight at this point. Formerly it was known as "the Devil's Stone". In the 19th century, it got its current name on account of the farmer Jan Hrčka whose ancestral name was Váňa and who owned the surrounding land.
In 1879, a later famous Moravian archaeologist professor Karel Jaroslav Maška found flint knives and bronze pins at Váňa's Stone. A surface survey also showed the presence of the Culture of Púchov people (120 BC to 0 AD). In 1993, Váňa's stone was declared a natural monument with an area of 0.77 hectares. Váňa's stone is a popular training climbing rock which is 15 meters high with 11 challenging outputs.

Q: How to merge two array of objects by key AND keep unique keys in a single array of objects? I want to merge two array of objects where objects with the same ID will merge properties and objects with unique IDs will be its own object in the merged array.  The following code does the first part where similar IDs will merge but how do I keep objects with unique ids from arr2 in the merged array and have it work with arrays of varying lengths?
Expected output:
[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "date": "2017-01-24",
    "name": "test"
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "date": "2017-01-22",
    "bar": "foo"
  }
  { "id": "3",
    "foo": "bar",
  }
]

The code:

let arr1 = [{
    id: '1',
    createdDate: '2017-01-24'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    createdDate: '2017-01-22'
  },
];

let arr2 = [{
    id: '1',
    name: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    foo: 'bar'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    bar: 'foo'
  },
];

let merged = [];

for (let i = 0; i < arr1.length; i++) {
  merged.push({
      ...arr1[i],
      ...arr2.find((itmInner) => itmInner.id === arr1[i].id),
    },

  );
}

console.log(merged);

A: Iterate over the larger array, the one that contains the smaller array, instead:

let arr1=[{id:"1",createdDate:"2017-01-24"},{id:"2",createdDate:"2017-01-22"}],arr2=[{id:"1",name:"test"},{id:"3",foo:"bar"},{id:"2",bar:"foo"}];

const merged = arr2.map(item => ({
  ...arr1.find(({ id }) => id === item.id),
  ...item
}));
console.log(merged);

(if order matters, you can sort if afterwards too)
If you don't know in advance which one / if one will contain the other, then use an object to index the merged objects by IDs first:

let arr1=[{id:"1",createdDate:"2017-01-24"},{id:"2",createdDate:"2017-01-22"}],arr2=[{id:"1",name:"test"},{id:"3",foo:"bar"},{id:"2",bar:"foo"}];

const resultObj = Object.fromEntries(
  arr1.map(
    item => [item.id, { ...item }]
  )
);
for (const item of arr2) {
  if (!resultObj[item.id]) {
    resultObj[item.id] = item;
  } else {
    Object.assign(resultObj[item.id], item);
  }
}
const merged = Object.values(resultObj);
console.log(merged);

A: You can create new object that contains the elems of arr1 and arr2 group by id key as follows and the merged array will be stored on object values.
You can get object values using Object.values func.

let arr1 = [{
    id: '1',
    createdDate: '2017-01-24'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    createdDate: '2017-01-22'
  },
];

let arr2 = [{
    id: '1',
    name: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    foo: 'bar'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    bar: 'foo'
  },
];

const groupById = {};
for (let i = 0; i < Math.min(arr1.length, arr2.length); i ++) {
  if (arr1[i]) {
    groupById[arr1[i].id] = { ...groupById[arr1[i].id], ...arr1[i] };
  }
  if (arr2[i]) {
    groupById[arr2[i].id] = { ...groupById[arr2[i].id], ...arr2[i] };
  }
}

const merged = Object.values(groupById);
console.log(merged);

A: You could take a single loop approach by storing the objects in a hash table, sorted by id.

const
    mergeTo = (target, objects = {}) => o => {
        if (!objects[o.id]) target.push(objects[o.id] = {});
        Object.assign(objects[o.id], o);
    },
    array1 = [{ id: '1', createdDate: '2017-01-24' }, { id: '2', createdDate: '2017-01-22' }],
    array2 = [{ id: '1', name: 'test' }, { id: '3', foo: 'bar' }, { id: '2', bar: 'foo' }],
    merged = [],
    merge = mergeTo(merged);

array1.forEach(merge);
array2.forEach(merge);

console.log(merged);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: A different approach could be merged the two array as is, and then "squash" it:

let arr1 = [{
    id: '1',
    createdDate: '2017-01-24'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    createdDate: '2017-01-22'
  },
];

let arr2 = [{
    id: '1',
    name: 'test'
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    foo: 'bar'
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    bar: 'foo'
  },
];

let merged = [...arr1, ...arr2].reduce(
 (acc, {id, ...props}) =>
    (acc.set(id, {...(acc.get(id) || {}), ...props}), acc), new Map());

console.log([...merged].map( ([id, props]) => ({id, ...props}) ))

Notice that you might not need the last line, it used just to obtain the format you want to, since the above reduce is using a Map as accumulator, you can already access to everything with just merged.get("1").createdDate for example (where "1" is the id).
Since you're operating on one array by merging them at the beginning, you don't care about the length of them or even which one contains more elements. You can also have several arrays instead of just two, it doesn't matter.
What it matters is the order: if more than one array contains the same property for the same "id", the value you'll get is the value from the most recent array added (in the example above, would be arr2).

A: You can write a function to reduce the arrays to an object and then extract the value from that object which will return the values that you want. You can see the code below:
let arr1 = [
  {
    id: '1',
    createdDate: '2017-01-24',
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    createdDate: '2017-01-22',
  },
];

let arr2 = [
  {
    id: '1',
    name: 'test',
  },
  {
    id: '3',
    foo: 'bar',
  },
  {
    id: '2',
    bar: 'foo',
  },
];

function merge(arr1 = [], arr2 = []) {
  return Object.values(
    arr1.concat(arr2).reduce(
      (acc, curr) => ({
        ...acc,
        [curr.id]: { ...(acc[curr.id] ?? {}), ...curr },
      }),
      {}
    )
  );
}

const merged = merge(arr1, arr2);

Output:
[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "createdDate": "2017-01-24",
    "name": "test"
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "createdDate": "2017-01-22",
    "bar": "foo"
  },
  {
    "id": "3",
    "foo": "bar"
  }
]

After finishing grad school at University of Michigan in 1982, I took a job teaching at a small tribal college on the Navajo Indian Reservation in northern Arizona. Although set in a beautiful location, the college was very isolated. I quickly made friends with other teachers, some of whom owned homes in Durango, Colorado, that fantastic Rocky Mountain town in southwestern Colorado, where we often escaped to for skiing, hiking, and just to maintain our sanity. Friends invited me to use some nice guest quarters at their Durango home whenever I wanted, so I got into the habit of driving up to Durango regularly to enjoy the outdoors, the town, and reconnect with civilization. I eventually quit my teaching job and moved to Durango, where I quickly fell in love with river running, took whitewater kayak lessons, and fell in with a crowd of other youngish river fanatics. I became a skilled whitewater boatman, and got hired by various river companies as a guide, rowing tourists down gorgeous western river canyons on multi-day wilderness trips. The time I spent rafting in the West were the best days of my life, a conclusion that I only arrived at after it was over.
Working for river companies isn't always about being on the water. Shuttling vehicles and equipment around is a necessary part of the business, and I occasionally got hired to drive trucks, gear, and clients to and from rivers. One shuttle trip that I worked was an adventure that I'll never forget. This tale takes place in 1987.
A company in Durango needed someone to go up to Vernal, Utah, and drive a truck loaded with gear back to Durango. I was available and jumped at the chance to drive through some of America's most beautiful landscape, and get paid for it. I drove up to Vernal with another rafting team who were going to run the Green River through Desolation Canyon. After spending the night in a motel with the group, the next morning they dropped me off at a storage yard where river companies left vehicles and equipment to be picked up and shuttled home later. It was a blistering hot day, temperatures in the mid-90's.
The owner of the storage yard let me in and led me back to the vehicle I was going to drive. The truck was a fifteen-year-old Chevy flatbed stake truck with duel rear wheels. I'd driven this truck before and didn't mind at all that it was kinda funky and decrepit, but I was shocked at the size of the load. There were at least 6 big rafts, deflated and bundled up, plus coolers, equipment boxes, oars, river gear of all sorts. The load had been carelessly tossed on the flatbed, so the storage yard owner and I unloaded and reloaded the gear into a more compact, tighter arrangement. I found some boat lines in the gear boxes, and lashed the gear down as best I could. The truck was still overloaded, though I figured it could handle the trip if I took care on the highway.
The storage yard guy suggested that I take the long way around to get back to Durango, rather than go over the much shorter mountain pass route we usually took on shuttle trips. I decided to just go the shorter route. This was my first bad decision. While gassing up the rig in Vernal, I checked the oil, and was a little disturbed when I pulled out the dipstick, the oil was solid black and sludgy. It clearly hadn't been changed in ages. I considered changing the oil, but decided against it, another bad decision. I just topped off the oil, and got on the highway, headed west to Duchesne, where I turned south on Utah Rt 191, which climbs up and over very rugged terrain.
Duchesne, Utah is at an elevation above sea level of 5200 feet. My route over the mountains would top out at 9200 feet, so I would be gaining 4000 feet of altitude in 22 miles. This gain in elevation is a challenge for any vehicle, but especially so for an old, overloaded flatbed truck. As I climbed up the road, which tracked along the bottom of a narrow canyon, I was sweltering in the midday heat. I noticed the truck engine losing power, and the temperature gauge started to climb ominously. After a few miles, I could feel the engine heat coming through the dashboard of the old Chevy truck, especially around my feet and lower legs, which began to get fried. The truck engine began to 'lug', straining to maintain power, which is always a bad sign. And, I began to smell that distinctive odor of burning grease. So I pulled over under some cottonwood trees, and opened the hood of the truck. Oil and grease on the engine block was smoking, so I stayed in the shade for about thirty minutes. When I got back on the road, the same alarming heat and smell developed, so I slowed down to ten miles an hour and crawled uphill, stopping every three or four miles. I actually drove with the truck hood opened about a foot so that air would be scooped into the engine well to cool the engine. Proceeding like this, at a very slow pace and stopping whenever it seemed necessary, I traveled 22 miles in about three hours. At times, I seriously considered turning around and going back down to Duchesne to troubleshoot the truck's problems, but I decided to just keep going.
After topping out at 9200 feet, I stopped at some corrals where I found a water well set up to fill tanks for livestock. The views in all directions were spectacular. I stayed there for an hour, pouring water over myself to cool off, observed by some range steers that stared at me dumbly the whole time. The engine cooled enough to ease my concerns, and I started off on the downhill side, headed toward the town of Helper, Utah. The road tracked along a creek that was running enough to attract fly-fisherman and tourists driving Rvs or trucks with camper shells. I felt pretty relieved at this point, and figured my troubles were behind me, and it would be smooth sailing from there on.
I soon became concerned that the brakes were overheating from being constantly applied, so I slowed way down, to about 20-30 miles an hour, since I knew that if the brakes overheated, the brake pads would melt and glaze over, losing their grip, and the rotors might even warp. So I used the transmission to slow the truck down, downshifting whenever possible to take the load off the brakes. Of course this puts 'back-pressure' on the entire engine exhaust system, which, if overdone long enough, might cause the pistons to foul and fail, or simply build up heat to a point where the engine head gasket would blow out, or maybe even cause the engine block to crack. As I struggled to maintain the right balance between braking and downshifting the transmission, my knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel, and I was very nervous.
This area of Utah is in Carbon County, so-named due to the extensive mineral resources to be found there, and the area is dotted with mining operations, extracting various minerals, but most especially coal. The road I was now driving down was the site of the Helper Mine, which was actually several distinct mining operations spread out over the area. The main mine is an underground shaft complex, and the mine mouth opens out onto the highway. When I passed the mine mouth facilities, it was now 4 o'clock in the afternoon, exactly when the mine shift changes. Soon, a line of cars and trucks crowded up behind me, and I could see angry miners flashing their lights and giving me the middle finger salute. Many tried to pass me on the steep downhill grade, nearly crashing into other miners driving up to the mine for the evening shift. I turned off as often as possible to let drivers by, but soon, more vehicles jammed up behind me, and I eventually just stopped looking in the mirrors.
On one short stretch of clear road, a pickup truck forced its way past me. I looked at the occupants, two Ute Indians who obviously had cracked open beers as soon as they left the mine parking lot. The Ute in the passenger seat gave me the finger and hurled a half-full beer at me, which passed right through the driver side window and sprayed beer all over the truck cab. I instinctively hit the brakes, fortuitously since another car coming uphill forced the Indians to swerve back into my lane. I remember this moment very clearly as being a close brush with death, and of course, my stress level climbed sky high.
Thankfully, I arrived at the Helper power station complex, a coal-burning electrical generating operation, and turned off into the parking lot. 20 or 30 cars went past, the occupants flipping me the bird, that universally recognized gesture of insult. After the crowd of vehicles had passed, I continued on and turned onto Utah Rt 6, a four-lane highway, and drove on down to Price, Utah, where I pulled into a travel center with gas pumps to fill the tank and get some food. A local sheriff drove in and parked, so I told him about the Indians and the beer can. My impression was that he couldn't care less about the problems of some long-hair river rat, who was probably a drugged-out pervert, a greenie, and a commie to boot.
With the truck cooled off, gassed up, and some food in me, I felt relieved and fortified for the long drive ahead. Whatever timetable I'd imagined for the trip was now completely blown, and I had six hours of travel ahead of me. It was now 7:00pm, and the sun was low on the western horizon. I left Price, passed through Wellington, came over the hill south of town and pulled into view of the vast empty basin ahead of me. This stretch of road is one of those places in the West that is notable for its beauty and desolation. The highway passes through vast empty stretches of desert landscape, dotted with creosote bush, cactus, and low brush. There is no human presence along this lonely highway except for derelict buildings that once housed some dubious enterprise. One of these is an equipment yard full of old abandoned trucks, dozers, and mining gear left over from the days of the uranium boom in the 60's. When the bottom fell out of the uranium market in the 60's, many mining outfits went belly up and simply parked their equipment and drove away. After two decades of metal scavengers and baking sun, this storage yard, covering about fifteen acres, now stood like a monument to the ultimate futility of man's attempts to harness nature for his own use. Every time I passed this boneyard of dead gear, I felt a certain melancholy.
The basin I was now traversing was only 50 miles or so, but feels like it goes on forever. Halfway down, the Price River bisects the valley from West to East, eventually joining the Green River in Desolation Canyon. About 99.9% of the time, the 'river' is actually a nearly dry sand wash, with maybe a trickle of moisture in the center. But occasionally heavy rains many miles to the West would saturate the desert landscape, little rivulets coalescing into larger flows, coalescing again and again, and pouring into the wash in such volume that a eight-foot high wall of water will roar down the wash, scouring away anything in its path, tearing brush out of the banks, dislodging boulders that roll along in the flash flood, and sweeping up any human stupid enough to have camped in the flat, inviting sandy wash bottom. Its always a bad idea to camp in a dry wash, but some tourists do anyway.
The highway crosses over the Price River wash on two trestle bridges, then climbs gradually up the other side to Green River, Utah, a lush oasis in the middle of the dry Utah landscape, watered by the Green River that exits Desolation and Gray Canyons from the northeast. From two or three miles away, as I approached the wash and the bridges, I saw a cloud of some sort hovering around the bridges. It couldn't be fog in this dry arid July heat. I figured someone must be camped near the bridges, probably in the dry wash, and had built a big fire. Something about it just seemed very strange. I continued on towards the bridges and the cloud, and drove straight into the cloud at about 60 miles per hour.
When I hit the cloud, I felt a distinct 'whump' on the front of the truck, and immediately was engulfed in a dense shower of bugs. The cloud was actually a swarm of insects who, awakened from hibernation by recent summer rains that had moistened the dry wash sand, had emerged to experience their short-lived life cycle, hatching, reproducing, and dying all in the space of a few days. The truck windshield was totally covered with smashed bugs, and the cab of the truck was full of them. These flying bugs were all over me, in my hair, my beard, in my shorts. It was awful. When I emerged on the other side of the bridges and exited the cloud, I frantically stopped by the side of the road and leaped out of the truck. Smashed bugs covered the front of the vehicle and had totally covered the windshield. There were several other cars and trucks, including a big semi-tractor trailer, pulled over, everyone looking a little shook and awed by the mess on their vehicles. My windshield wipers barely touched the mess, so I used a shirt to wipe away the mess as best I could. I did my best to sweep the bugs out of the truck cab, climbed back in, and continued on down to Green River. At the town, I pulled into a gas station that had a three-bay car wash. There were about 20 cars and trucks already lined up, all covered in bugs, so it took a while for me to get my rig into one of the bays. I washed off as much crud as I could, and I opened the hood and blasted water to dislodge the dead and living bugs that clogged the radiator. I in no way cleaned all the bugs off that truck, but just enough to see out the windows and clear the radiator grill so that the engine wouldn't overheat. This experience in Green River killed at least another hour, and when I finally got back on the road, the last rays of sunlight were fading fast.
In the dark, I drove down Rt 191 towards Moab, stopped briefly to eat something, then took off south towards Monticello, where I turned east onto Rt 491. By now I was totally exhausted and not a little stressed out, so I pulled off the road at a rest stop. I set up some sleeping gear and threw a bug screen over myself and crashed out. I was simply too tired to drive safely; I had to get some rest.
About 11:00pm, I was awakened by loud shouting and a flashlight shining in my face. A Utah State Police patrolman rousted me from my sleeping bag and proceeded to berate me for being 'a vagrant', and didn't I know that I couldn't camp here, and what the hell was I doing in the great state of Utah anyway, etc. This cop was the meanest cop I've ever encountered, and he was pushing me around while he yelled in my face. At one point he actually put me in the back of the police cruiser for a few minutes. I did my best to keep my cool, and explained myself as calmly as I could. He suddenly told me to get out of the cruiser, back in my truck, and get out of there, and never come back. This cop was a disturbed individual, in my opinion, and enjoyed terrorizing me in the dark along that empty stretch of road. He followed me until I hit the Colorado state line, then turned back. Shaken and angry, I drove on until I got to Dove Creek (self-proclaimed 'Pinto Bean Capitol of the World'), where I turned out into a side road and crashed out in my sleeping bag.
I slept until first light, then got up, poured a jug of water over me to wash off the sweat and grime, and headed on down to Cortez, Colorado, where I ate breakfast in a small diner on main street. Then I drove east towards Durango on Rt 160. I've driven this stretch of beautiful highway many times in my life, and I began to feel a lot better. On the east side of Mancos, Colorado, the road climbs steeply up over a high ridge. The truck engine began to lug again, and the temperature gauge rose alarmingly, so I took my time inching up the hill in the morning sun, eventually topping out at Hesperus. Then I drove down the long steep incline to Durango, nursing the brakes and downshifting to take the load off the brakes. When I crossed over the Animas River bridge into Durango, I was unbelievably relieved. I turned left up the riverside road and pulled into the river company parking lot, killed the engine and stumbled out of the truck.
Several river guides, all friends of mine, were busy in the parking lot, loading up rafts, gear, and food coolers, in preparation for a busy day of rowing tourists down the Animas River on half-day trips. Everyone stopped and came over and just walked around the Chevy flatbed truck in awe. The truck still had a covering of dead bugs in places. The smell of overheated engine grease wafted out of the engine well. The big load in back was of particular amusement. The river company owner's wife came out of the office and told me "You look like hell, Dave." As I sat drinking coffee and eating donuts, I recounted my adventures of the 24 previous hours. Everyone just shook their heads. When the company owner showed up, he heard my tale, then commented that maybe it was time for a new truck. I pointedly remarked that, although I was glad to row rafts on the rivers for him, I was unlikely to ever drive shuttle for him again.
In fact, another shuttle driver drove that truck out on another gear haul a week later, and it quit on a remote dirt road that accessed the San Juan River takeout on Lake Powell, and stranded the driver for a day until some BLM rangers chanced to find him, baking in the sun out in the middle of nowhere.

Christian nationalists bear false witness to God.
Now let me dissect that sentence.
It's not really such a new commandment as love, respect and neighborliness are already enshrined in the Decalogue, or the Ten Commandments/Teachings in the Hebrew Bible's book of Exodus.
In that portion of our story, after working with God to free themselves from an oppressive state, the Hebrew people received lessons on how to survive as a community. These lessons included not killing or stealing or lying or being greedy for what's on the other side of your neighbor's fence. The tools for survival were entirely relational, rather than personal or national.
But over time, our stories tell us, the descendants of the escaped slaves got antsy for a king, someone who could get them into the international market, make them a real player in the region. A prophet of the God of freedom, in a book called Samuel, warns them a king will make their children into tools for war and profit and indulgence, a king will take their personal resources for his personal gain, laughing all the way to the bank. (I added that last part.) And then all of that happens to the people.
Both the Hebrew and Christian testaments to God are about that cycle of freedom, blowing it and working on freedom again. So a Christian is, by definition, a public lover and freedom-worker unconcerned with bolstering state identity because states ultimately only care for themselves.
A nationalist, on the other hand, has loyalty to the state — one, and only one, state. Nationalism is the promoting of that one and only state over and above all others, even over and above all other people in the state. It is not to God — which if there is such a force, must transcend not only state but planet — it is to a temporal, human-made, human-corrupted, human-destroying state that nationalists pledge their allegiance.
So when an organization like Project Blitz (the people trying to slap In God We Trust all over public spaces, reverse United States v. Windsor, and allow doctors to refuse to treat people who happen to be female or queer) describes itself as Christian nationalist, it is betraying the God of Moses and Jesus, both.
It is making itself into a Pharaoh by attempting to enslave a nation by making its theology law and it is refusing to heal the sick as Jesus did, preferring to nail bodies again and again and again onto the very cross Jesus put to shame.
In this nation, we may choose to trust God, under any name, or not. We may choose to accept the teachings of science, or not. But we may not, as a matter of faith or matter of law, continue to create second-class citizens through cultural or legal violence.
Christians are to be known by the love that we show for all people. Christian nationalists only show love for people like themselves. As someone who continues to stake her life on these stories (truly, given the types of shootings that now happen daily), I gladly profess my devotion to God over nation, and to all of God's people, which are absolutely all people. And from that place of risk and joy I say again, Christian nationalists bear false witness to God.

Obama served on a board with former Weather Underground member William Ayers and "that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11."
— Hillary Clinton on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 in Democratic debate in Philadephia
Obama served on board with Ayers
By Robert Farley on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 at 12:00 a.m.
A little-known relationship in Sen. Barack Obama's past — one that had been buzzing in mostly conservative circles for months — took a very public turn Wednesday night during a Democratic debate in Philadelphia.
It relates to Obama's relationship with William C. Ayers, a onetime member of the Weather Underground, a leftist fringe of the 1960s antiwar movement. Known as the Weathermen, the group was responsible for bombings of the New York City police headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971 and of the Pentagon in 1972.
During the debate, moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Obama about his relationship with Ayers, as part of a discussion about Obama's patriotism.
"An early organizing meeting for your state Senate campaign was held at his house and your campaign has said you are 'friendly,' " Stephanopoulos said.
Stephanopoulos quoted a New York Times story, published Sept. 11, 2001, in which Ayers was quoted as saying: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."
Asked Stephanopoulos: "Can you explain that relationship for the voters and explain to Democrats why it won't be a problem?"
Obama downplayed the relationship.
"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from," Obama said. "He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
"And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense, George."
Sen. Hillary Clinton then piled on.
"I also believe that Senator Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position. And, if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more."
We need to point out that it was merely a coincidence the remarks were published in the New York Times on Sept. 11 and they had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks that day. They were referring to activities by the Weather Underground in the 1970s.
Deborah Harrington, president of the Woods Fund, a philanthropic organization in Chicago, said Obama was a director from 1994 through 2001. That overlaps Ayers' time as a director by three years. It also means Obama served with Ayers for the final months of 2001, after Ayers made his comments to the New York Times.
Ayers, now a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago (not English as Obama stated), is still on the seven-member Woods Fund board.
In 2001, Ayers wrote a book, ''Fugitive Days'' — he called it a memoir — in which he wrote that he participated in the bombings of New York City police headquarters, the Capitol building and the Pentagon. But in a review of the book, the New York Times noted that Ayers coyly noted that some of the book was fiction.
Last week, Ayers defended the September 2001 comments on his blog stating: "I'm sometimes asked if I regret anything I did to oppose the war in Vietnam and I say: No, I don't regret anything I did to stop the slaughter of millions of human beings by my own government."
Obama has minimized his relationship with Ayers. Campaign finance reports show Ayers donated $200 to Obama's re-election campaign in 2001.
In the spirit of fairness, we should note that just before leaving office, President Bill Clinton pardoned Susan L. Rosenberg who, according to a New York Times story in 2001, was "a onetime member of the Weather Underground terrorist group who was charged in the notorious 1981 Brink's robbery in Rockland County that left a guard and two police officers dead."
But as for Clinton's comments about Obama's relationship with Ayers, we rate them True.

Review: Contrived 'Song One' Starring Anne Hathaway Hits False Notes
Review: Contrived 'Song One' Starring Anne Hathaway Hits False Notes
Rodrigo Perez
In two different parts of the world, two estranged siblings conduct their lives separately. The brother is a passionate busker and would-be pro musician singing his heart out in New York subways, and the sister is researching nomadic tribes in Morocco for her PhD. But a critical error in judgment one night reunites them: Henry (Ben Rosenfeld from "Boardwalk Empire") is in a coma after an accident, and following an emergency call from their mother (Mary Steenburgen), Frannie (Anne Hathaway) drops everything to be by his side.
Consumed by the accident and haunted by her last unfortunate interaction with Henry —chastising him for dropping out of college and then flouncing off to another continent— Frannie is wracked with guilt. Obsessed with trying to find a trigger that might get him out of his coma (smells and sounds), Frannie rifles through his belongings for clues about his life. She discovers a ticket for a gig by James Forester (real life musician Johnny Flynn, frontman of Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit), a folk musician that Henry admires. Intrigued, Frannie attends one of his concerts and after an awkward post-gig meet cute, the grieving sister and the indie-rock musician's lives become intertwined. And with just a few days left on his New York tour before he has to leave America, their time together will be precious and short.
The first feature by Kate Barker-Froyland (New Directors/New Films short filmmaker), "Song One" is well intentioned, well-shot and has its musical heart in the right place. But it often feels incredibly familiar, and the more contrived, credulity-straining moments don't help. Frannie tells James that Henry is in a coma after his concert and then the singer visits the hospital. Frannie is touched by this gesture and the relationship begins. We're supposed to believe that while the folk singer's first album brought him "fame, fortune and acclaim," he has time and the inclination to visit a fan in the hospital, hang out for days and play him songs at each visit?
Predictable elements also mar the already shaky storyline. When Frannie and James become romantically involved, not one single viewer could be remotely surprised. While Frannie is concerned about her brother, when she rifles through Henry's diary, it feels forced and potentially sociopathic (the movie briefly call her out on the matter). No one bats an eye when James finds Frannie cute, and doesn't see her as a stalker when she begins to pop up at every gig.
However, if you can suspend your disbelief, "Song One" might be your kind of tune. Intermittently charming, Hathaway and Flynn have restrained, not exactly alchemic chemistry (which is perhaps one of the film's quieter deal breakers). A musician not known for his acting, Flynn is authentic onstage with a guitar but not so much as an actor. So a lot comes down to the music written by Johnathan Rice and Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis. It would be refreshing to see an indie music film for once not featuring plaintive, earnest acoustic songs, yet that's exactly what is delivered here. And while these ballads are occasionally touching (the final song in particular is the film's best), more often than not these tunes sound awfully familiar. It's telling that outside the film's final scene —effectively tearjerky, for all its narrative manipulation—the most transcendent musical moment is a sequence where Hathaway and Flynn dance to Dan Deacon with wild, charged abandon.
Indie culture partisans worried about "Song One" encroaching on their precious territory should relax. "Song One" is hardly "Brooklyn Music Scene: The Movie," and while it features bands at notable spots like Pete's Candy Store and the Bowery Ballroom, these sequences are tasteful, respectful and will give even the most skeptical and sensitive music obsessive nothing to wince at.
For a first feature (which she also wrote), Barker-Froyland has a good eye, but her ear for tone is not yet quite developed. But when "Song One" does find a groove and doesn't have to deal with plot contrivances and lets Hathaway and Flynn interact, it can be quite convincing and endearing. One could certainly do much worse for your feature-length writer/directorial debut, and "Song One" generally has no traces of the amateurishness that plagued early lo-fi mumblecore. But this is faint praise. It's about awakenings, both physical and emotional, and while a coma is a neat metaphor for the closed-down Frannie, as she reconnects with her family and her heart, and it's as obviously on-the-nose as it sounds, Barker-Froyland could have spent a little more time finessing the script.
More forgiving, more romantic, audiences may be willing to put their heads aside for 90 minutes and give their hearts to "Song One." And it does possess commercial potential for biggish, crowd-pleasing results. However those with an attuned ear for the hokey and contrived may not be able to excuse some of the false notes. [C+]

Neuvy-en-Sullias ist eine französische Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Département Loiret in der Region Centre-Val de Loire und gehört zum UNESCO-Welterbe.

Geographie und Klima
Sie liegt nahe am linken Ufer der Loire zwischen Gien und dem rund 35 km entfernten Orléans, in der Landschaft Sologne. Durch den Ort fließt der Leu, der mit seinen Zuflüssen den Großteil des Gemeindegebietes entwässert und später unter dem Namen Dhuy in den Loiret mündet.

Das Klima ist typisch ozeanisch mit mildem, regnerischen Winter (3–4 °C) und feucht-kühlem Sommer (16–18 °C).

Geschichte
Der Ort trug den Namen Noviacus (855) oder Novus Vicus (900), was so viel wie "die neue Stadt" bedeutet. Er liegt im ehemaligen Wohngebiet der Carnuten, unter dem Namen Cassiciate oder Cassicion wird ein hier gelegenes Gestüt genannt.

Bei Steinbrucharbeiten wurden 1861 auf dem linken Loire-Ufer mehrere gallo-römische Bronzestatuetten entdeckt. Der Schatz von Neuvy-en-Sullias besteht aus neun menschlichen Figuren, die vermutlich Tänzer und Tänzerinnen darstellen, drei Wildschweinen, einem Hirsch und einem Pferd. Die Pferdeskulptur enthält eine Weiheinschrift, die dem Gott Rudiobus gewidmet ist, sie könnte darauf hindeuten, dass der Ort schon früh als Gestüt genutzt wurde. Die Bronzen sollten offenbar in dem unterirdischen Raum, wo man sie fand, nur vorübergehend versteckt werden.

Carmen Clemente Travieso (Caracas, 24 de julho de 1900 – 24 de janeiro de 1983) foi uma jornalista e ativista pelos direitos das mulheres venezuelana. Ela foi a primeira mulher a se formar na Universidade Central da Venezuela e uma das primeiras mulheres empregadas como jornalista em tempo integral na Venezuela. Clemente fez parte do primeiro grupo de mulheres que se juntaram ao Partido Comunista da Venezuela e trabalharam ativamente pelo sufrágio feminino. Ela foi co-fundadora de uma organização em prol da reforma do sistema prisional e co-fundadora da Associação Venezuelana de Jornalistas.

Biografia
Carmen Clemente Travieso nasceu em 24 de julho de 1900 em Caracas, capital da Venezuela, filha de Mercedes Eugenia Travieso e Lino Clemente. Seu pai morreu quando ela era criança, e ela foi criada na casa da sua avó materna com seus outros quatro irmãos. Aos dezessete anos de idade Clemente acompanhou uma tia em uma viagem para Nova Iorque, onde recebeu aulas de inglês e trabalhou em uma fábrica de bordados. Ela também começou a se envolver com a pauta dos direitos das mulheres e se tornou uma ativista ao ajudar pessoas com lepra.

Ao retornar para Caracas em 1927, Clemente se envolveu com o movimento estudantil para depor o ditador Juan Vicente Gómez. Enquanto trabalhava na biblioteca de Rudolph Dolge, Clemente se juntou às "Madrinas de Guerra", um grupo de mulheres que levava comida e suprimentos médicos para estudantes e prisioneiros do conflito. Ela também construiu laços com Juan Bautista Fuenmayor, Kotepa Delgado e Rodolfo Quintero, fundadores do Partido Comunista da Venezuela. Clemente os ajudou a estabelecer um centro de estudos para disseminarem suas ideias e um ano depois ela organizou a primeira campanha para a admissão de mulheres no partido. Em 1932, Clemente começou a escrever para o periódico El Martillo, para o qual escreveria até 1941.

Clemente tornou-se a primeira mulher a se formar na Universidade Central da Venezuela () (UCV). Em 1936 ela se juntou à Associação Cultural Feminina e publicou artigos no Ahora, La Esfera e El Nacional sobre desigualdades legais e a necessidade das leis de proteção à criança. Clemente foi diretora da associação durante a década seguinte e serviu como chefe do periódico La Cultura de la Mujer. Durante a década de 1930 ela escreveu artigos sobre higiene, crianças sem-teto, falta de direitos para as mulheres e análises culturais sobre problemas sociais. Em 1937 Clemente fundou a Liga Nacional Pró-Presos, que atuava em busca de uma reforma no sistema prisional.

Em 1940 Clemente ajudou a organizar a primeira Conferência Nacional das Mulheres, que aconteceu entre 11 e 13 de junho daquele ano, para criar reformas constitucionais e do código civil para que as mulheres alcançassem a paridade legal e política. No ano seguinte ela foi co-fundadora da Associação Venezuelana de Jornalistas. Em 1945 Clemente organizou reuniões em sua casa para um segundo congresso de mulheres que almejavam o direito ao voto. Elas ganharam o apoio do presidente Isaías Medina Angarita, mas um golpe de estado o depôs do poder. Clemente foi nomeada como a candidata do Partido Comunista para a convenção constitucional de 1946, que no ano seguinte garantiu o sufrágio para todos os cidadãos acima de dezoito anos de idade. Embora algumas figuras do movimento em prol dos direitos das mulheres afirmassem que seu trabalho estava feito, Clemente acreditava que várias outras mudanças legais civis e econômicas precisariam acontecer.

Em 1950 o Partido Comunista foi criminalizado na Venezuela após outro golpe de estado. Clemente publicou Mujeres venezolanas y otros reportajes (Mulheres venezuelanas e outras reportagens), que abordava firmemente a repressão dos direitos das mulheres. No ano seguinte ela se juntou à resistência contra a ditadura, organizando reuniões clandestinas em sua casa. Ela continuou a publicar seus textos, e em 1953 lançou a biografia de Teresa Carreño. Clemente foi interrogada em 1957 durante uma agitação política contínua, mas no ano seguinte, após um longo período de censura, ela e outros jornalistas puderam escrever para jornais que haviam sido banidos durante a década anterior. Ela continuou a publicar textos até a década de 1970. Clemente morreu em 24 de janeiro de 1983 em Caracas.

After Meghann Carter graduates from college this summer, she could make $46,000 a year or more at her first job.
Good money for someone right out of school, it's even more impressive considering that Carter will have completed only a two-year degree at a community college.
She is among a growing number of Floridians who are grabbing the chance to earn a good wage faster by completing an associate in science degree. Such students enter the work force in half the time it takes to finish a four-year bachelor's degree. And, generally speaking, they earn larger paychecks — at least initially.
Carter and the other 22 students in the cardiovascular technology program at Valencia College are learning how to help doctors diagnose and treat heart disease. They will make an average annual starting salary of $46,064 when they finish, according to the school.
"It's going to be more than I've ever made," said Carter, 23, a former waitress, bartender and ice-cream-shop manager who grew up in Merritt Island.
Most community-college students want an associate in arts degree, which focuses largely on general-education studies, the basis for two more years of school and a bachelor's degree.
A.S. programs are different in that they require students to immediately specialize in a limited number of high-demand fields. They train in areas such as nursing, law-enforcement administration, media design and fire-science technology.
Starting pay varies by field. But as a whole, the median first-year wages of A.S. degree holders is $45,060, according to earnings data collected by the state from students who graduated between 2006-07 and 2010-11 and stayed in Florida to work.
A.A. holders who don't go on to get bachelor degrees received much less: $26,504.
Meanwhile, median first-year pay was $33,816 for graduates with bachelor's degrees from one of Florida's 11 public universities.
Some college officials call the A.S. degree one of higher education's best-kept secrets. Such programs have gained more attention recently, as legislators and higher-education leaders debate ways to help more Floridians earn college credentials.
A key concern of Gov. Rick Scott's administration is that graduates are able to find high-paying jobs.
That emphasis prompted a new state website that offers employment data on graduates of Florida's public colleges and universities. A report that accompanied the recent launch of the website — beyondeducation.org — highlights the benefits of the A.S. degree.
"For the many students who lack the time, money or inclination to pursue a bachelor's degree, technical two-year degrees may represent a smart route into a career with middle-class wages," said Mark Schneider, president of College Measures, a group that helped Florida create the website.
Community-college administrators said the challenge is helping students see the benefit of such a credential. Many students and parents are unfamiliar with the A.S degree. Recent high-school graduates generally prefer to pursue an A.A. because they are not sure what they want to study.
Parents, especially well-educated ones, want their children to get bachelor's degrees.
"It's been a battle we've dealt with at the community-college level for years," said Lake-Sumter State President Chuck Mojock. "There's still a sense that A.S. degrees are not as good as a bachelor's."
Some A.S. programs are quite popular, however.
For example, Seminole State College received 564 applications for its nursing programs in 2013-14. Only 190 people were accepted, an official there said.
Statewide, A.S. program enrollment has risen sharply in recent years. More than 98,000 students were pursuing A.S. degrees at one of Florida's community colleges in 2012-13, up from 62,420 in 2008-09, according to the state Department of Education.
Nationally, 28 percent of associate-degree holders earn as much or more than the average bachelor's degree recipient, according to the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University.
But Jeff Strohl, the center's director of research, said the financial advantage some associate-degree holders enjoy in the beginning does not hold up over time. Associate-degree holders make $541,000 less during their lifetimes compared with people with bachelor's degrees, the center estimated in a report it released two years ago.
Stephanie Black of Winter Springs already had a bachelor's degree when she enrolled in an A.S. program at Seminole State College in 2011.
Although Black had earned a degree in journalism two decades earlier, she was working as an independent insurance agent. Wanting a career change — as well as more money and job security — she completed an A.S. degree in legal studies.
As a paralegal, the single mother of two did not want to disclose how much she earns. But she said she now makes about $15,000 more a year than she did during her best year selling insurance.
"Now that I'm not an 18-year-old naïve kid anymore, I'm really wondering 'Why aren't more people doing these kinds of programs?' " she said.

Spanish politicians and bankers targeted by expenses scandal investigations
Rob Horgan
13 Oct, 2014 @ 11:51
DOZENS of Spanish politicians, bankers and financial advisers are under investigation after collectively spending €15.5 million on undeclared company credit cards handed out by Caja Madrid and Bankia between 2003 and 2012.
The 86 cardholders under investigation include 27 members of Spain's ruling conservative Popular party, 15 Socialists, ten trade union leaders and five members of the United Left party.
The politicians were given the 'black' cards to pay for their expenses after being appointed to various posts at the banks but none of the spending was ever reported to tax authorities.
Over the past week, the scandal has forced the resignation of Madrid's director-general of the economy ministry, the chief of staff in the Spanish budget ministry and a senior member of the Socialist party. Two senior trade union leaders have also resigned.
Other high-profile figures under investigation include Rafael Spottorno, the former head of Spain's royal household, and the ex-presidents of Caja Madrid and Bankia Miguel Blesa and Rodrigo Rato.
Blesa – who was paid €3.5 million a year in his role – is reported to have spent a massive €436,000, including €10,000 on wine and €9,000 for a holiday to South Africa.

When you want to get a new label maker software you might want to evaluate all the possible choices which you have by taking a peek at the free label making software packages that are offered on the internet. You will be amazed to view all the options that you will get on the software choice Http://homewinelabels.com. For this reason you need to know what you will be using your label maker for and then evaluate what all features you will require on your label maker software application.
Some of us feel that we'll be employing a label maker simply to make address labels so it is a good idea to purchase a software program to help us accomplish exactly that. However it is important to note that label makers can be put to varied uses. For starters you may use the label maker to get a little structured as well as arranged. Use your own label maker to make labels for your storage cases. This way you'll be aware what each container contains and you will then not have to rummage through a thousand items to look for one. Another place where you can use your label maker would be to come up with customized CD and DVD covers. You could make these for getting your DVD collection sorted out and appealing and can also use these as unconventional gifts. Instead of any store purchased CD create your special mixed tape and after that employ a label maker to make the CD cover and label. Your gift idea will definitely be considered a lot more original as compared to anyone elses.
You can even apply your label maker to produce item labels. If you are planning on promoting your own wine or beer or even giving them as gifts then you can use your label maker, become innovative and make a design label for your bottle. Not simply could your wine be appreciated but your bottle will end up an important keepsake. In case you are planning on selling your item along with the item label you can even print barcode labels that will help you a whole lot on your inventory management.
If you are taking a look at your free label making software choices then you need to keep a few things in mind. Firstly you need to find out if the software is satisfying your primary needs to the best. So if you need the label maker simply to print address labels then you could observe how well this particular software package works with the database and also how effortlessly the database can be exported for print. In case your label maker will be put to a lot more use in that case view the kind of print accuracy that you will be getting. In addition see if the software can easily configure to the printer such that you can take prints in any position that you want. You also need to see the flexibility that computer software provides in terms of upgrading and ease of use. Make sure that you can include your own features with the addition of text as well as images to your layouts and also such changes will be supported without difficulty by the software program. Fonts and font sizes, borders, background attributes such as transparent images, trace and also alignment options etc must be offered by the software program to make it perfect for you.


Hello readers, this week in Off The Hook i've made a crochet viking hat.
I am fascinated by vikings and love reading and watching programs about them, so I was really excited when I was asked to design a viking hat for a friend. Now I am quite aware that real vikings did not actually wear horns on their helmets, but I think the horns look really cool.
I have included two sizes, adults and child. The child hat will fit most children from 5-9 because of the stretchy nature of the crochet viking hat.
William and James make fabulous models.
4dc cluster = 4 double crochet cluster. *Yarn over, put hook through stitch yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through first two loops* repeat 3 times. There should now be 5 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops. Chain one.
(1) Ch 4, join into ring. Make 6 hdc into ring.
For all the hdc stitches work into the back two loops of the stitch. Leaving the front loop unworked will create the spiral ridge detail around the hat.

This crochet viking hat is surprisingly quick to make and will make a great addition if someone is off to a fancy dress costume, or just to keep their heads warm when they are hording and pillaging.
If you like this pattern, check out some of the other patterns I have published.
Could I use 8 ply and a smaller hook for adult size or would the pattern need to be adjusted?? Thanks in advance – also Thanks for sharing your designs.
Thanks for that info – will try your suggested method of 2 strands before I purchase more yarn.
29 rounds of hdc seems too much..
in the hat pictured it seems to be only about 20 before starting sc.
Confused with the instructions of the viking hat. Do you mark each row and then continue in a spiral? Or do you slip stitch into the beginning of each row and start a new row each time?
Oh, my stars! These are just great! Thank you so much for the pattern and the effort it took for you to create it.
I would go for the child sized hat.
Exactly how many skeins of yarn is needed per color on this Viking hat for adult and for child?
The adult hat took approximately 75g of chunky yarn, the child hat approximately 50g. The horns take a very small amount, 10gs I would guess.
Roughly what amount of yarn would you suggest please?
Roughly What amounts of yarn would you suggest please?
The adult one was made with one 100g ball of yarn for the main hat.
Thanks for posting this! One question- what does step 11 and 13 "in each" mean? Do you copy the previous row or is there something missing? Thanks!
What yarn do you recommend?
I used Cygnet chunky yarn for my viking hats.
It looks like in the adult hat pattern, you left out the row where you add the 5dc, after you do the rows of sc. I see it in the children's size hat, but not the adult one.
These look great, I am definitely going to be making them vin various sizes for different family members!

Welcome to week 4 of #MAKEOVERYOURBLOG! Today, we're talking about blog post creation.
Over the past 7 years, I've started and stopped blogging a million times. Ok, maybe not a million, but somewhere in that range. And each time I chose to give up on my blog was primarily due to the face that I was constantly overwhelmed by content creation.
How many times have you given up on your blog because it's just too overwhelming to pump out x number of blog posts a week?
How many nights have you spent restlessly trying to crank out an uninspired post for the next morning as to not disappoint your readers?
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way.
I find that bloggers often don't give a thought to the way their blog's laid out. They purchase a premade blog template and fill in the blanks. After all, why does your blog layout matter? And what does "best blog layout for SEO" even mean?
If you're ready to fully dive into discovering your blog topic & focus, be sure to download my FREE workbook, Discovering Your Golden Blogging Niche. This workbook will walk you through the steps to defining a unique and clear topic, along with identifying your target audience.
You'll find exercises that I typically take my private clients through and this workbook is full of focused questions to help you discover the perfect blog topic that will make your blog stand out & attract readers like crazy.

Cancer Research | Genesis Nanotechnology, Inc.
The world's largest DNA sequencing company says it will form a new company to develop blood tests that cost $1,000 or less and can detect many types of cancer before symptoms arise.
Illumina, based in San Diego, said its blood tests should reach the market by 2019, and would be offered through doctors' offices or possibly a network of testing centers.
The startup will be based in San Francisco and has raised more than $100 million from Illumina as well as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos's venture fund, Bezos Expeditions, and Arch Venture Partners. Illumina will retain majority control.
The testing concept being pursued by Illumina, sometimes called a "liquid biopsy," is to use high-speed DNA sequencing machines to scour a person's blood for fragments of DNA released by cancer cells. If DNA with cancer-causing mutations is present, it often indicates a tumor is already forming, even if it's too small to cause symptoms or be seen on an imaging machine.
Illumina didn't invent the idea for the tests, which were first developed by academic centers including at Johns Hopkins University (see "Spotting Cancer in a Vial of Blood") and in Hong Kong (see "Liquid Biopsy"). But Flatley says only recently has gene-sequencing become inexpensive enough to try to make the cancer screening tests affordable.
Illumina, which is based in San Diego, has established spin-offs in Silicon Valley to address consumer markets for DNA data.
A DNA test able to pick up many kinds of cancer could be revolutionary because tumors caught early can often be cured with surgery or radiation. Since the 1970s, the largest declines in cancer deaths rates are due to either behavioral changes, like declining tobacco use, or because of effective screening tests, principally colonoscopies and pap smear. New drugs have helped, too, though their impact on survival has generally been modest.
Expectations that cancer blood tests will quickly turn into a multibillion-dollar industry has attracted growing interest from investors. For instance, last week, a startup called Guardant, run by former Illumina executives, also said it had raised $100 million.
Guardant's test isn't an early detection test, but is instead used to measure tumor DNA in patients already battling cancer and can be prescribed in place of an invasive tissue biopsy (see "The Great Cancer Test Experiment"). Other companies bidding for a share of the testing market include Personal Genome Diagnostics, a spin-off of Johns Hopkins University, as well as Trovagene, Boreal Genomics, and Natera.
In the U.S., the only early-detection liquid biopsy test on the market is from Pathway Genomics, and it costs $699. But since it remains unclear how well these types of tests work, that company received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration questioning its marketing claims (see "Why You Shouldn't Bother with a $699 Cancer Test").
Any developer of a presymptomatic screening test for cancer faces daunting obstacles. How often will the test find cancer, and how often will it give a wrong result? What's more, even tests that do discover cancer early can turn into medical disasters if patients end up getting aggressive and costly treatment for cancers that won't kill them.
To prove early detection is possible, Flatley says, Grail will spend millions on organizing clinical trials involving as many as 30,000 people. It will test all of them and then see if the tests are able to catch cancer earlier than established methods.
Flatley estimates that the amount of DNA sequencing required for the studies would be the equivalent of decoding the genomes of about 400,000 people at high quality. That makes the project about three times as large as Genomics England, a national effort to study cancer and disease in the U.K.
Illumina has a price advantage because it makes and sells more than about $2 billion worth of DNA sequencing instruments, chemicals, and test kits annually to university scientists and other labs. But recently it has also sought to jump directly into what it thinks will be key applications for that DNA data. In 2013, it paid almost half a billion dollars to acquire prenatal testing company Verinta (see "Prenatal DNA Sequencing"), and last August said it would partner with investors to create a vast DNA "app store" aimed at consumers. (see "Inside Illumina's Plans to Lure Consumers with an App Store for Genomes").
Flatley says Grail's objective is a "pan-cancer" test able to detect most types of cancer from a single blood draw, but he says early detection of lung and breast cancer could be the first tests to reach the market. Flatley himself says he took an early version of the test, which came back without any problems.

What is Nanotechnology? A basic definition: Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. In its original sense, 'nanotechnology' refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.
Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to "nanotech") is the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world and remains a difficult disease to treat. Current problems associated with conventional cancer chemotherapies include insolubility of drugs in aqueous medium; delivery of sub-therapeutic doses to target cells; lack of bioavailability; and most importantly, non-specific toxicity to normal tissues. Recent contributions of nanotechnology research address possible solutions to these conundrums. Nevertheless, challenges remain with respect to delivery to specific sites, real time tracking of the delivery system, and control over the release system after the drug has been transported to the target site.
Nanomedical research on nanoparticles is exploring these issues and has already been showing potential solutions for cancer diagnosis and treatment. But a heterogeneous disease like cancer requires smart approaches where therapeutic and diagnostic platforms are integrated into a theranostic approach.
Theranostics – a combination of the words therapeutics and diagnostics – describes a treatment platform that combines a diagnostic test with targeted therapy based on the test results, i.e. a step towards personalized medicine. Making use of nanotechnology materials and applications, theranostic nanomedicine can be understood as an integrated nanotherapeutic system, which can diagnose, deliver targeted therapy and monitor the response to therapy.
Theranostic nanomedicine has the potential for simultaneous and real time monitoring of drug delivery, trafficking of drug and therapeutic responses.
Our Smart Materials and Biodevice group at the Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre, Linkoping University, Sweden, has demonstrated for the first time a MRI-visual order-disorder micellar nanostructures for smart cancer theranostics.
The drug release mechanism via functional outcome of the pH response illustrated in the schematic diagram. (Image: Smart Materials and Biodevice group, Linköping University) In the report, we fabricated a novel pH-triggered tumour microenvironment sensitive order-disorder nanomicelle platform for smart theranostic nanomedicine.
The real-time monitoring of drug distribution will help physicians to assess the type and dosage of drug for each patient and thus will prevent overdose that could result in detrimental side-effects, or suboptimal dose that could lead to tumour progression.
Additionally, the monitoring of normal healthy tissues by differentiating with the MRI contrast will help balance the estimation of lethal dose (for normal tissue) and pharmacologically active doses (for tumour). As a result, this will help to minimize off-target effects and enhance effective treatment.
In the present report, the concurrent therapy by doxorubicin and imaging strategies by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with our smart architecture will provide every detail and thus can enable stratification of patients into categorized responder (high/medium/low), and has the potential to enhance the clinical outcome of therapy.
It shows, for the first time, concentration dependent T2-weighted MRI contrast for a monolayer of clustered cancer cells. The pH tunable order-disorder transition of the core-shell structure induces the relative changes in MRI that will be sensitive to tumour microenvironment and stages.
Our findings illustrate the potential of these biocompatible smart theranostic micellar nanostructures as a nontoxic, tumour-target specific, tumour-microenvironment sensitive, pH-responsive drug delivery system with provision for early stage tumour sensing, tracking and therapy for cells over-expressed with folate receptors.
The outcomes elucidate the potential of smart cancer theranostic nanomedicine in non-invasive real-time diagnosis, targeted therapy and monitoring of the course and response of the action before, during and after treatment regimen.

Serious Guns and White Terrorism: Two Unasked Questions in Tucson Mass Murder
Bill Quigley
Question: How does a mentally unstable man who was kicked out of school and had
run-ins with the law buy such a serious weapon?
The weapon reportedly used in the mass murders in Tucson was a serious weapon -
a Glock 19, semi-automatic pistol, with an extended magazine. Some weapons like
that were illegal to sell in the US from 1994 to 2004 under the Federal Assault
Weapons Ban. It is now legal to sell and own them. The National Rifle
Association reports there are tens of millions of assault weapons in private
hands in the US.
The federal background check for people purchasing such weapons only prohibits
selling such weapons to people who have been legally determined to be mentally
defective or found insane or convicted of crimes. This man had not been found
legally mentally defective or convicted so he was legally entitled to purchase
an assault weapon. In Arizona he was legally entitled to carry the weapon in a
concealed manner.
The US has well over 250 million guns in private hands according to the National
Rifle Association. That is more, according to the BBC, than any country in the
world. In one year, guns murdered 17 people in Finland, 35 in Australia, 39 in
England and Wales, 60 in Spain, 194 in Germany, 200 in Canada, and 9,484 in the
United States according to the Brady Campaign.
Does the US really need tens of millions of assault weapons and hundreds of
millions of other guns? We already put more of our people in prison than any
country in the world and we spend more on our military than all the rest of the
world together. How fearful must we be?
Question: Why is there so little talk of terrorism?
Apparently when a mentally unstable white male is accused, terrorism is not the
first thing that comes to mind. White terrorism is not a concept the US takes
When Clay Duke, a white male, threatened Florida school board members with a gun
and shot at them before shooting himself, in December 2010, he was mentally
imbalanced.
When Michael Enright, a white male, was arrested for slashing the throat of a
Muslim NYC cab driver in August of 2010, his friends said he had a drinking
When Byron Williams, a white male, was arrested after opening fire on police
officers and admitted he was on his way to kill people at offices of a liberal
foundation and a civil liberties organization, in July 2010, he was an
unemployed right wing felon with a drinking problem.
When Joe Stack, a white male, flew his private plane into a federal building in
Austin, Texas, in February 2010, he was angry with the IRS.
When a white male is accused of mass murder, white terrorism is not much talked
of. Rather the mass murder becomes a terrible tragedy but not one where race or
ethnicity or religion need be examined.
Now, if the accused had been Muslim, does anyone doubt whether this mass murder
would have been considered an act of terrorism? US Muslims could have expected
increased surveillance and harassment at home and the places where they work and
worship. They could have expected a Congressional inquiry into the
radicalization of their people. Oh, Representative Peter King (R-NY) has
already started that one!

Биографија

Детињство и младост
Милорад Мишо Пелемиш је рођен 1964. године у Пелемишима код Шековића. Завршио је подофицирску обуку 1983. године и постао подофицир Југословенске народне армије, убрзо распоређен у Вод за противтерористичка дејства (претеча Одреда војне полиције "Кобре"). У ЈНА је унапређиван до чина старијег водника.

Рат у Хрватској
Учествовао је у бици за Вуковар 1991. године, као припадник 63. падобранске бригаде, за шта је одликован Орденом за храброст.

Рат у Босни и Херцеговини
По почетку Одбрамбено-отаџбинског рата 1992. године, Пелемиш је основао специјалну јединицу при Министарству унутрашњих послова Републике Српске. Када је 14. октобра 1994. године основан 10. диверзантски одред, директно потчињен Главном штабу Војске Републике Српске, за његовог команданта је постављен поручник Милорад Пелемиш.

Са одредом је учествовао у операцији Штит код Бихаћа 1994. године. Према сведочењу Дражена Ердемовића, Пелемиш је упозорио припаднике 10. диверзантског одреда уочи операције Криваја 1995. године, да не сме дођи до злостављања и убијања цивила. Захваљујући овој изјави Ердемовића, Пелемишу није суђено за масакр у Сребреници. Дан након уласка Војске Републике Српске у Сребреницу, 12. јула, Пелемиш је доживео саобраћајну несрећу када се преврнуо војни транспортер, те је он упућен на лечење.

Након хапшења Ердемовића 30. марта 1996. године, капетан Пелемиш је смењен са места команданта 10. диверзантског одреда.

Рат на Косову и Метохији
Пелемиш је учествовао у бици на Кошарама током рата на Косову и Метохији.

Суђење за шпијунажу
На суђењу "групи Паук" пред судом у Београду 1999. године, заједно са Југославом Петрушићем, Пелемиш је оптужен за шпијунажу у корист Француске, као и за недозвољену производњу, држање, ношење и промет оружја и експлозивних материја. Пресудом Апелационог суда из 2018. године, оптужница за шпијунирање је одбачена, а остале оптужбе против Пелемиша су одбачене због застарелости.

Хашки трибунал
У предмету Међународног кривичног суда за бившу Југославију против генерала Ратка Младића, Пелемиш се појавио као сведок одбране.

Смрт
