SyFy (formerly Sci-Fi) has opted to replace its annual Fourth of July Twilight Zone Marathon with a Greatest American Hero marathon. First, I hadn't realized there were enough GAH episodes for which to justify a "marathon, " (pathetically, there are). And second, WHY?! Don't they want people to stay on the channel for long periods of time? They might as well have rolled out ALF too, make it a full-out Guantanamo Bay-style retreat.
I am crushed. For more than a decade I have settled in with family to watch the bi-annual event: Twilight Zone on New Year's, again on the Fourth of July. Yes, a marathon of viewing, through the ham-handed and the sublime, the silly and the profound. Rod Serling, a corny but cool guide through the dimensions, signposts ahead. War, paranoia, love and fear. Superstition and weakness, bravery and resolve. This was the time to reflect, holed up in air conditioning with a thousand familiar archetypes: the key character who always loses it when a nuclear strike is imminent or he crash lands on a planet. The misfit. The hero. The shrill wife. The comely naif. The vexed soldier. The greedy fool. The old man. The insufferable snob who gets his. The cynical man who gets to go back. The astronaut who never will.
It is us at the breaking point — the frailty of our species. The kernel of fear and insecurity in all of us that forces us to conform during the day, but turn on our neighbors and abandon civility at night. Are we really that bad? Was Rod Serling just a pessimist? Just the same, we love to take that ride down Maple Street at dusk, and take in the hysterics at Dr. Stockton's basement when a nuclear attack is supposedly at hand. The fun is — we never know.
Jerry Harlowe: We could throw a nice big block party, just like old times! Anything to get back to normal! Right, Bill?
Bill Stockton: Normal? …I don't know what normal is. I thought I did once; I don't anymore.
Jerry Harlowe: Oh, we'll pay for all the damages, Bill.
Bill Stockton: Damages? I wonder…if any of us has any idea what those "damages" really are. Maybe one of them was finding out what we're really like when we're "normal." The kind of people we are, just underneath the skin–and I mean all of us–a lot of naked, wild animals who put such a price on staying alive that they'll claw their own neighbors to death just for the privilege! We were spared a bomb tonight, but I wonder…if we weren't destroyed even without it.
There are planes with no people, and planes stuck in the land of dinosaurs and planes that come out of the sky from World War I to change the future. There are misanthropes and masochists, meanies and malcontents. There are aliens and primitives, beauties and bozos, heroes and saints. They are all of us and none of us and we can laugh it off or we can see ourselves and maybe take more than five minutes to think about it. I mean, many of us do have the weekend off.
1960 in black and white relief — but mirrored back at us. A fun and eerie reminder that we humans are so "changeless," despite how quickly the superficial trappings of fashion, politics and culture whiz by, leaving our Willoughbies behind. SyFy, in its infinite short-sightedness and stupidity (or maybe, plain thriftiness, I mean, have you seen those in-house "movies" they produce exclusively for the channel?) have cast me a blow, and maybe, too, the numerous, numerous others who have been resigned to this simple exercise in thrill and pop-culture anthropology for the last ten years or more.
I guess I can go check out the John Wayne marathon at AMC. But it just won't be the same.
I never cared for Serling's programs, especially after learning that he was a Cold War progressive who backed the United Nations and infused his shows with his propaganda. I saw this on a documentary many years ago that was about Serling that was sympathetic to his ideology and mentioned this.
On the other hand, his "Night Gallery" program did produce a segment adapted from Russell Kirk's short story, "Sorworth Place".
This was the page that came up.
I, too, am crushed by this news.
Buy the DVD boxed set on Amazon. It used to only be $150 for the whole thing.
I agree, SyFy is a tv channel abortion. So much potential squandered. But who knows, maybe Mansquito IV will be better than the first three?
Thanks for a great post! I'm glad someone's on record regretting the loss of the Twilight Zone marathon. It was one of the few things that you could leave your TV tuned to all day. Never a drop in quality.
It may not be the same, but hulu.com has most if not all episodes online for free. Perfectly legal, as well.
I agree it was a great post.
I was a big time lib in the Serling days (actually the "Sterling" days, before they decided to spell his name correctly), so I enjoyed all the old "populist intellectual" sci fi of the day.
Jerry Lewis' "Visit to a Small Planet" for some reason had made a huge impression on me. And Leslie Nielsen in "Forbidden Planet".
In my mid-60's, I don't have the patience to watch much fiction anymore. I'll watch a "chick flick" with my wife once or twice a month. Otherwise, my fiction/reality-show/sitcom/drama is limited to a 10-minute stretch of Rachel Maddow, as there is a tiny amount of saving grace in looking good while being a fool.
I too am crushed . Ive watched the different iterations of the marathon since I was 13 . At first when it was on local television (KOFY Tv -20 ) and then twice a year , every year , after that since sci fi took it over .
And for the greatest american hero ? I agree . I wont be watching in protest but I may buy the dvd set just to stick with tradition . Its a 150 dollar blow to the wallet but a small price to pay for continuing something Ive done for almost 22 years straight . Twice a year , every year , since 13 .
This is a huge blow and something , until now , Ive been looking forward to all month.
Kelly, you forgot the best TZ episode of all: A railroaded black man is to be hanged in the morning, but the morning doesn't come. The night stretches past 7, 8, 9 AM in the small southern town. The convicted man is eventually hanged, and Serling's closing commentary is more cutting than a ruby laser!
Daniel — I hadn't realized, 22 years. This is more than a blow it is an abomination.
N.P West: If "cold war progressive" means being a Purple Heart, Bronze Star wounded WWII veteran-turned-anti-war, then right on Rod!
Another reason not to regret that I downloaded to ultra-basic cable.
Well written! The marathon is a part of my family tradition as well! I guess it represents something special to my family and to the network it's just a show. Twilight Zone is soooo much more than a show. It's a lesson.
I hear you, Daniel. I'm not sure how long I've been watching the July 4th Marathons, but my guess is that it's somewhere around 25 years. I watched it on Channel 11 Alive out of New York years before Sci Fi even existed. One of the earliest I remember, maybe the earliest, was tied in to promoting the premiere of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE on Channel 11. So that would be after the movie was out of theaters, and after it had been in heavy HBO rotation already.
Much as I love The Twilight Zone, Greatest American Hero is pretty rad too.
I'am upset as well why the hell their going to exchange a good show that I like watching on New Year Eve and 4th of July for a corny show. What happened syfy?
I too am quite disappointed. If SyFy were not part of my general cable package, I'd cancel it. The TZ marathon is one of the few times I watch SyFy. Now there's no good reason to keep it.
You are crushed? Really? Jeez. There is alot of other stuff way more important in the world to cry over. I love Twilight Zone but I also love Greatest American Hero. people can like both. The Sci Fy channel usually pisses me off because of the shows they put on. Giant man eating…… ?That stuff is vomit. GAH is a classic and alot of fun.

Stewart Mini-Symposium: Two Cheers for Stewart
[Beth Stephens is a Professor at Rutgers Law.] Two cheers for James Stewart and his forthcoming article, The Turn to Corporate Criminal Liability for International Crimes: Transcending the Alien Tort Statute. Stewart offers an enthusiastic endorsement of what could be an extremely effective mechanism to hold corporations accountable for egregious human rights abuses: domestic criminal prosecutions in their home states. Stewart's comparative analysis of the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) is less sure-footed, however, and, for that failing, I withhold my third cheer. Stewart ranges wide through criminal law theory and practice to defend the viability and desirability of domestic criminal prosecutions for international law crimes. He explains that many states already have the domestic statutes necessary to authorize criminal prosecution of domestic corporations for international law violations such as war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in other states. This statutory foundation, along with the focus on prosecuting domestic corporations, should mitigate concerns about extraterritoriality such as those that have arisen in both civil claims under the Alien Tort Statute and universal jurisdiction prosecutions against natural persons. Criminal prosecutions, he explains, also tap into a rich set of liability standards that are potentially well-suited to the complex interactions of a corporation and its employees. Stewart correctly identifies some of the weaknesses of ATS litigation and the commentary it triggered. But many of those weaknesses result from applying an idiosyncratic eighteenth century statute to modern human rights abuses. For example, Stewart decries a rather unproductive dispute over the content of the international law standards governing aiding and abetting. He does not acknowledge, however, that the debate was triggered by the sui generis structure of the ATS, which grants jurisdiction over violations of international law, but provides no guidance as to a host of crucial issues, including the appropriate standards of liability. Moreover, commentators and some judges suggested applying a flexible federal common law liability standard to ATS cases, which might have resembled the analysis he favors. Many courts rejected that approach, however, leading to the narrow debate over the meaning of knowledge and purpose in international law. The "vociferous interest in complicity" that Stewart decries [24] was a product of the minimalist structure of the ATS and judicial decisions that further limited the range of possibilities, not lack of interest in or ignorance of alternative liability approaches. Crucially, similar statutory gaps and judicial bottlenecks are likely to arise in domestic criminal prosecutions, as each legal system applies its particular statutes, procedural rules, and theories of liability. These problems, of course, are consequences of a domestic law response to human rights abuses. But, having failed to recognize the impact of its domestic law origins on the trajectory of the ATS, Stewart also fails to grapple with the likely impact of idiosyncratic domestic law variations on the local criminal prosecutions that he favors.

Federal and state laws place various restrictions on the possession, location, and usage of firearms. Those who fail to abide by these restrictions can face harsh consequences. A Collin County gun lawyer could provide you with a robust legal defense if you are facing firearms charges.
While you should take gun charges seriously, you will not automatically end up with a criminal conviction. Various defenses may be available to you in firearms cases. A well-versed criminal defense lawyer may be able to work with you to build a strong argument to the charges in your case.
The law prohibits certain individuals from possessing firearms. Under Tex. Pen. Code § 46.04, it is unlawful for anyone with a felony conviction to own or possess firearms for five years following their conviction date, or the time of their completion of a term of community supervision or parole, whichever is later. Following this five-year waiting period, these individuals can possess firearms at their homes, but nowhere else.
Violation of this section of the penal code is a felony of the third degree. A conviction for this offense can result in a prison sentence ranging from two to ten years, plus payment of a fine of up to $10,000. Since the penalties for this offense may be severe, getting advice from a Collin County gun lawyer may be wise.
Any individuals who have a conviction for assault arising from a domestic violence situation, which involves family or household members, may not possess firearms. This prohibition applies whether the conviction is for a misdemeanor or felony domestic violence conviction and it remains in effect for five years following the date of conviction or release from supervision or parole, whichever is later.
Individuals subject to current protection orders that stem from a domestic violence situation also are ineligible to possess firearms, except for public law enforcement officers. Violation of either of these prohibitions on gun possession can result in Class A misdemeanor charges, which can cause a maximum one-year jail sentence and a $4,000 fine.
Handgun license applicants also are ineligible for licenses if they are chemically dependent, incapable of having sound judgment concerning handguns, or behind in child support or tax payments. Under Tex. Pen. Code § 46.02, individuals commit the offense of unlawfully carrying weapons if they are not on property that they own or inside a motor vehicle or watercraft that they own or is under their control. A person also may violate this section if they carry a handgun in plain sight while in their vehicles unless they have a license and are transporting it appropriately. This offense is a Class A misdemeanor, which can result in up to one year in jail.
These are only a sampling of the many restrictions that federal and state law place on firearm possession and usage. Since the penalties for violating any of these restrictions can result in jail time, you may want to contact a Collin County gun lawyer for advice at your earliest convenience.
Getting the legal advice and representation when facing gun charges can be essential to your ability to fight back against the charges. Protect your rights and your future by seeking legal assistance today.

Commanders fire OC Scott Turner, but it won't matter if they can't figure out QB situation
Jason Owens
After a season in which Washington started three different quarterbacks and just missed the playoffs, the Commanders have fired offensive coordinator Scott Turner.
The Commanders announced the news Tuesday alongside a statement from head coach Ron Rivera.
"I met with coach Turner today and informed him that we will be moving in another direction going forward with the offensive coordinator position," Rivera's statement read. "Unfortunately, we did not live up to the expectations and standard that I expected to see from our offensive unit.
"I felt it was best for a fresh start at the coordinator position heading into next year."
Rivera and general manager Martin Mayhew will lead the search to replace Turner. But the bigger question in Washington will be at quarterback.
OC won't matter if Commanders don't get QB right
Last offseason, Washington traded a package of draft picks to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for Carson Wentz. The Commanders did so despite the Colts and Philadelphia Eagles having previously given up on the QB as a starter. Wentz was eventually, predictably, benched twice this season.
The first time, Rivera sidelined him in favor Taylor Heinicke after Wentz injured a finger in Week 6. Heinicke remained Washington's starter after Wentz recovered from his injury until, with Washington's postseason at stake, Rivera opted for another quarterback change in Week 16.

Rivera benched Heinicke midgame against the San Francisco 49ers in favor of Wentz after Heinicke committed turnovers on back-to-back possessions. It was a short hook for Heinicke, who had outplayed Wentz for the bulk of his nine starts. Washington lost that game, and Rivera opted again to start Wentz in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns. Wentz completed 57% of his passes and threw three interceptions in the 24-10 loss that eliminated Washington from the postseason.
With the season lost, the Commanders opted to start rookie Sam Howell in Sunday's finale against the Dallas Cowboys. The fifth-round pick, who got first-round buzz prior to a disappointing final season at North Carolina, played well in a 26-6 win. He completed 11 of 19 passes for 169 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He added 35 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
It all adds up to another offseason quarterback quandary that has plagued the franchise for the better part of three decades. Whomever Washington hires at offensive coordinator will have to be on board with whatever decision is made at the position.

What will Washington do? That's anybody's guess. Wentz shouldn't be part of the picture, but he arguably shouldn't have been in the first place. Heinicke's a fan favorite and performed admirably while throwing for 12 touchdowns and six interceptions in his nine starts. Is he a viable starter and long-term answer in Washington? The answers appears to be no, given Rivera's decision to bench him with the season on the line.
Howell's a mobile quarterback with big-play upside, but he comes with plenty of questions about accuracy and risk tolerance — questions that weren't answered in his lone game. Still, he appears to have earned his place in the mix for next season.
Then there's the draft, in which the quarterback position is almost always in play in Washington.
Washington's decision at offensive coordinator this offseason will shape its effort to improve a unit that ranked 25th in 2022 scoring 18.4 points per game. But it won't be paramount. If Rivera and the next offensive coordinator are to succeed, the Commanders need to at long last find an answer at the game's most important position.

Patently Tough: Long Road Ahead For Qualcomm in China Case Against Apple
2 years ago admin Comments Off on Patently Tough: Long Road Ahead For Qualcomm in China Case Against Apple
Qualcomm wants to hit Apple where it hurts most: iPhone sales in China – one of its biggest global markets where most of its flagship smartphones are made. The U.S. chipmaker's legal gambit to ban sales and manufacturing of iPhones could cripple global supply of Apple's most important product, legal experts say, but many believe Qualcomm faces a stiff battle to get there. Instead, Qualcomm may be looking to frustrate the tech giant through a lengthy legal fight that could last years in China as it seeks to gain leverage in the firms' global standoff over royalty payments it demands, intellectual property lawyers said.
Qualcomm said this week it had filed the suits in Beijing's intellectual property court, claiming patent infringement against Apple. If successful Apple could be blocked from selling or manufacturing some iPhones in China. The two firms are fighting on multiple fronts around the globe from the United States to Europe and Asia, but the China case is particularly thorny because the iPhone is almost entirely made in the country by contract manufacturer Foxconn.
"Effectively – if they get an injunction – you would have a worldwide injunction that would block (Apple) exports from China," said Erick Robinson, director of patent litigation for Beijing East IP and a former director of patents for Qualcomm. "China is still unpredictable and Apple has a ton to lose." Apple has antitrust suits against Qualcomm in the United States as well as nearly a dozen in the United Kingdom, Japan, China and Taiwan alleging that Qualcomm is charging unfair prices for its technology.
In return, Qualcomm is seeking injunctions against Apple in the United States with complaints to the International Trade Commission as well as filing complaints in Germany. Now it has set it sights on China. But putting Apple away in China is a tough act, lawyers said. Apple suppliers employ hundreds of thousands of people in China, so authorities may be wary of hitting jobs with a ban on production. More to the point, lawyers said it was unlikely either firm would allow the case to get to an injunction, speculating that Qualcomm's main aim was to increase its leverage over Apple at the negotiating table over any final settlement.
A Shanghai-based intellectual property lawyer said it would take "a year or two" to get to the point where the threat of injunction was imminent, but that eventually, it would get "too close for comfort". "The consequences are just dire if (an injunction) were to actually happen, the lawyer, who asked not to be named because Qualcomm and Apple were clients of his firm, said. "That is very significant leverage Qualcomm would have over Apple."
SMARTPHONE TARGET
The chipmaker has not made public which iPhone models would be included, but Christine Trimble, a spokeswoman for Qualcomm, said it would cover the iPhone 7. The patents include power savings technologies and Apple's Force Touch feature in newer iPhones. "The patents we're asserting in these complaints are non-cellular wireless technologies that Apple uses in its iPhones," Trimble told Reuters. "The patents are a few examples of the many Qualcomm technologies that Apple is using without paying Qualcomm."
Apple, which has said previously it pays fair and reasonable rates for the patents it uses, said Qualcomm's claim is "meritless." "Regulators around the world have found Qualcomm guilty of abusing their position for years. This claim is meritless and, like their other courtroom manoeuvres, we believe this latest legal effort will fail," said an Apple spokeswoman in Shanghai. Chinese regulators fined Qualcomm $975 million in 2015 over antitrust violations. Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission said last week it would fine the firm $774 million over similar issues.
'MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION'
Lawyers said Apple would likely file more unfair competition or anti-trust cases against Qualcomm in Chinese courts, or seek to get the relevant patents invalidated by the Chinese patent office. The iPhone maker could also seek to have the patent cases held up by the Beijing IP court while the patent invalidation decision was being made. The cases would then go through a series of hearings at the Beijing court before any injunction.
"Given the known circumstances and the parties, an injunction is unlikely to be forthcoming in this type of situation," said Elliot Papageorgiou, head of intellectual property at Clyde & Co China. Last year, a Beijing court banned Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, saying they were too similar in design to the Shenzhen Baili 100C smartphone. The ruling was overturned this year in favour of Apple.
Injunction requests often used to boost leverage in negotiations, have not proved hugely effective in patent litigations, however. By the time a court makes a ruling on such cases, the products involved in the suit often become outdated and defending firms introduce new models that do not use disputed patents. "The reality is both parties should get together and avoid mutually assured destruction," said Beijing-based Robinson, who estimated it would be 18 months before any potential injunction.
"Apple has been giving Qualcomm trouble in the United States and in China; Qualcomm has the patent portfolio to completely block the manufacturing chain for Apple if that's what they want to do."

Cooper considers India as off-take source
NEW YORK (March 17, 2008) – Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.'s decision to hike the number of tires it sources from low-cost countries could include off-take production from India, the company said.
The disclosure came in the firm's 2007 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A Cooper spokesman said there is no off-take agreement as yet with an Indian producer, but the company is evaluating possible manufacturing partners in a number of countries, including joint ventures and greenfield startups.
Cooper recently said it plans to raise the amount of tires sourced in low-cost countries to 35-45 percent from 18 percent during the next five years.
Cooper sourced 2.25 million tires from China last year and recently signed an off-take production agreement with Mexico's Corporacion de Occidente S.A. de C.V. covering up to 2.5 million broadline passenger and light truck radials a year. Cooper said in its 10-K it would source 3.8 million tires in 2008 from China, Mexico and other off-take partners.
At the same time, Cooper is selling its minority ownership stake in South Korea's Kumho Tire Co. Inc., which it bought two years ago as part of its global supply strategy then.

As part of ongoing efforts to improve the safe use of health information technology (health IT) and electronic health records (EHRs), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced today the winners of the Easy EHR Issue Reporting Challenge. Winners of this challenge created software tools that could help clinicians report EHR usability and safety issues faster, more efficiently, and in alignment with their regular clinical workflow.
First place - James Madison Advisory Group. James Madison Advisory Group's unique solution for reporting possible safety events launches through a system tray icon or hotkey on any Windows 8 or higher installation. Use of the tray icon or hotkey keeps the user from exiting the EHR workflow, regardless of the EHR platform. The tool exports in the HHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Common Formats XML and PDF, captures screenshots, and simplifies the report delivery process. The winning submission is awarded $45,000.
Additional information about the Easy EHR Issue Reporting Challenge is available at https://www.cccinnovationcenter.com/challenges/easy-ehr-issue-reporting-challenge/.


I do not live close to a Kvell Fitness facility, do you have anything I can do?
Not a problem! We offer many online and distance programs to ensure that you have no limitations in your ability to Kvell. If you are want to optimize your health and fitness but you do not live near a Kvell Facility go to our contact page and we will figure out a program that will work for you.
I cannot make it to a Kvell facility on a regular basis because of my crazy travel and work schedule, do you have anything for me?
Yes, we do. Some programs that are good options for you include our online nutrition coaching, online workout design and training program, or our high-performance coaching services.
I ONLY need help with my nutrition, can you help?
Absolutely! Nutrition coaching is one of our specialties. Without proper nutrition, it is impossible to achieve optimal health, wellbeing, and performance. We are passionate about helping people create lifelong sustainable nutrition habits. We do this through our many nutrition coaching programs. Click on the "Contact Us" tab to get in touch with us to discuss the nutrition program that is the best fit for you.
At this time we do have a shower at our Meridian Gym and do not have one at our Boise Gym. Our clients make it work. Some of them take a bird bath in the bathroom sink, some take pride in their sweatiness, and MOST go back home to shower or have a shower in their office building. We do have changing rooms.
When are you going to have a Kvell Fitness and Nutrition in Meridian Idaho?
When are you going to bring Kvell Fitness and Nutrition [insert state]?
As soon as it makes sense for us as a business. We have people who have experience our program from Alaska to New York who keep bugging us to open a Kvell facility in their state. We plan on it as soon as it makes sense from a business standpoint. Until then if you do not live in a state where a Kvell facility resides you can contact us in regards to our distance programs.
What do I need to bring to workouts?
We provide all of the necessary equipment. However, a few things that you may want to bring include a water bottle, hand towel to wipe sweat from your brow, and hair tie. We also require you wear squeaky clean shoes to ensure the training floor stays pristine for all to enjoy and bath in all of its beauty.
It depends but most likely. It is never our goal to make you sore. Being sore is a result of microtrauma at the cellular level caused by forcing your body to do things it hasn't done in awhile or hasn't done at a specific level in quite some time if ever. We try hard to mitigate your soreness by ensuring you do not overexert yourself the first few sessions you train with us. If you are consistent worker-outer before joining Kvell then you will probably only feel a small amount of soreness. If you are brand new to working out or you haven't worked out in two or more weeks then your soreness may be a little more severe. Again, we highly encourage you to do less than you feel or think you can do for at least the first week. We have plenty of time to go full throttle once your body is ready. Going full throttle before your body is ready can lead to injury and a soreness that you probably thought could only be inflicted by god almighty.
How do I speed up the recovery process and reduce muscular soreness or DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)?
DOMS, DA, DOM, DOM, DOMS. Our old friend delayed onset muscle soreness is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. It lays in the cut until day two after your workout and then it springs on you like the furry of millions of African army ants devouring your soul to live in sheer seconds. A few things that will help tremendously in the rapid reduction of DOMS. Drink water, at least half of your body weight in ounces (closer to 0.7 ounces per pound of body weight is better). Walk, walk, and walk some more. The more you can get and keep your blood moving the better. Take a twenty-minute warm Epsom salt bath. Do another workout utilizing the same muscles to "work the soreness out". Lastly, for prevention purposes never allow yourself to go more than one week without some form of exercise.
Do you offer athlete training, personal training, corporate wellness, etc?
Yes. We offer everything you could ever imagine when it comes to general health, fitness, and nutrition. We do not offer specific training in areas like strongman training, bodybuilding, and figure competitions. Nearly everything outside of those three specialties we offer or can offer if it makes sense. For a more detailed list of what we specialize, go to the Contact Us page.
Do you offer programs for children who are not sports athletes or after school programs?
Yes. We are passionate about helping children understand and enjoy the benefits of exercise and healthy eating. We love to facilitate after-school programs to ensure children are getting their required daily activity and having fun while doing it. To learn more about all of the programs we have available go to our Contact Us page.
In person. No. For pictures, sometimes. Don't take it personally. This does not mean he doesn't like you or isn't happy. It just means that he is so deeply entrenched in figuring out how to improve the service of Kvell that he forgot to tell his face he was happy, thus the stoic appearance that he is so infamous for because there is not a moment of the day where he is not actively working to determine a better more efficient way to serve the clients of Kvell and the world. 🙂 All jokes aside Brett is passionate about helping you achieve your goals.

Best Australian Pokie Sites for Frost Bite
Casino Bonus Visit Casino
Up to AUD $1200 Royal Vegas Casino
100% up to $200 Platinum Play Casino
Up to AUD $1000 7 Sultans Casino
Generally speaking, gamblers aren't big fans of the cold. Between cold streaks, cold cards and cold dice, there aren't many situations in the casino where being cold is going to make you a lot of money. But Frost Bite aims to change all that by creating a game where it's cool to be cold. This isn't a game filled with special features or complex bonus games, but it's certainly a fun game for those who like basic pokies with strong themes.
Frost Bite Overview
Frost Bite is a three-reel, single payline pokie that utilizes a cold theme. Created by Microgaming, Frost Bite allows players to bet up to two coins on each spin, with a maximum bet of $5 per coin. There are no bonus rounds in Frost Bite, but there is a wild symbol that can also act as a multiplier to all of your other wins.
Frost Bite can be played at Platinum Play Online Casino, or at many other Microgaming-powered casino sites. While this three-reel pokie has only a single payline, players can choose to play or either one or two coins on each spin. Coin sizes range from $0.25 to $5.00, which means that the most you can bet on a single spin is $10.
The rules of Frost Bite are similar to those of most other pokies: the object is to match identical symbols across your payline. In many games of this type, you'll find cherries taking up the bottom parts of the pay table, but in the case of this pokie, you'll find snowflakes occupying that role instead. Hitting one or two snowflakes anywhere on the winning line will earn you a small prize, while hitting three snowflakes will return a prize of ten coins.
Bigger prizes are returned by the bar symbols. Three single bars will earn you ten coins, while the double bars are worth 25 and the triple bars 40. You can also mix and match the different bar symbols; if you hit three bars or any type, you'll win ten coins. Even more money is available if you can hit three of the smiling — well, we're not exactly sure what they are, but they're definitely smiling — guys, which offers a prize of 80 coins for every one you bet on that spin.
The only special symbol available on the reels is the Frost Bite logo. This symbol can substitute for any other, helping to complete winning paylines. As an added benefit, hitting that symbol as part of a winning line also doubles the size of your win. Hitting two logos as part of a winning line is even better, as this will grant you a 4x multiplier on whatever you've won.
This symbol is also the way to achieve the biggest wins possible on Frost Bite. Hitting three in a row will return 800 coins, or 1,600 coins if you've played two coins on that spin. At the maximum bet, that means an $8,000 jackpot — not the largest around, but certainly one you'll be happy to win.
Theme and Presentation
Frost Bite is all about the cold, and everything in the game helps support that theme. The colour scheme is all blues and whites, giving the game a very wintery feel. The snowflakes help with this as well. Without any special bonus rounds or second screens, it's hard for this game to really explore the cold theme, but for the single screen game that it is, Frost Bite does about as good a job as could be hoped for.
More importantly, the presentation of the game is top-notch. This is definitely an area in which the classic, three-reel pokies have a big edge, since there's less information to present and the game can make better use of the space available. The entire paytable and rules are present right on the same screen as the reels, making it exceedingly easy to play this game. In addition, the reels are quite large and all the symbols are very easy to see, making this a very accessible game to all players.
When it comes to just its gameplay elements, there isn't much to make us recommend Frost Bite above several other games. That's true of a lot of classic pokies: without many options, they can all seem very similar to one another. That said, we did like that Frost Bite included the "Double Diamond" style bonus symbols that allow you to multiply your winnings, as that added quite a bit of excitement to what could have been a very run-of-the-mill poker machine. The frosty theme is a nice touch too, and that makes this a great game to play if you're feeling worn down by the summer heat. As with any single-line pokie, this isn't a game that will appeal to action junkies, but if you enjoy older-style games and feel like giving a cool theme a try, Frost Bite will definitely fit the bill.

Constitution (Scheduled Castes)
Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950
On the Presidential Order of 1950. The Indian constitution on the basis of its article 341(1) empowered the President of India to specify the castes, tribes and groups which can be considered as the Scheduled Castes to become the beneficiaries of the compensatory discrimination (affirmative action). Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the First President promulgated an order known as the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950.
SC/ST or Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are communities that are accorded special status by the Constitution of India. These communities were considered 'outcastes' and were excluded from the Chaturvarna system that was the social superstructure of Hindu society in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years. These castes and tribes have traditionally been relegated to the most menial labour with no possibility of upward mobility, and are subject to extensive social disadvantage and discrimination, in comparison to the wider community. The Scheduled Caste people are also known as Dalits; Scheduled Tribe people are also referred to as Adivasis. SC/ST make up upwards of 25% of India's population, over 250 million people.
The root for the word "Dalit" is found both in Hebrew and in Sanskrit. It refers to people who are socially, religiously, economically and politically oppressed, deprived and exploited in India. The word "Dalit" is often used to describe a person who comes from any lower caste, even though technically authentic Dalits are kept outside the caste system as unworthy to enter the social and religious life of society. They are generally considered to be polluted socially, poor economically and powerless politically. They are not allowed to touch caste Hindus and are therefore treated as "untouchables". Dalits are found spread throughout the nation of India, South Asia, and among the Indian diaspora around the world.
Reservation, in context to the Dalit issue, are compensatory discrimination (affirmative action) rights granted by Article 340 of the Constitution of India in 1950 to the disadvantaged castes or OBC's of India

Thank you for your countless feature suggestions! We have now worked through all the ideas and have added quite a few to our list. Some of your ideas actually already existed as a concept on the desk of our game designer.
Eventually, we had to agree on 5 favourites, on which you can now vote! Choose your favourite feature that the Rail Nation team will develop for you in the coming weeks! The poll is open until 25.05.2018.
Each production series will have a small, individual advantage in one of the four categories speed, acceleration, reliability and tractive force (tractive force only in later eras, as the advantage would be too big otherwise). While one production series would have a 3 km/h higher top speed, another may have 5% greater reliability or an additional point in acceleration. That means switching between production series could gain you the crucial seconds to win a competition or increase your profits some more.
Associations close to each other in the ranking would fight against each other in an association competition once a week. The association generating the highest profit within one hour would win the association competition and receive the main prize. The lower-ranked associations would receive smaller prizes based on their ranking.
Prizes could include waiting time reductions or faster engines for all association members for one day.
There could be a landmark widget similar to the one for cities. It would allow players to see the progress of all connected landmarks and access them directly from the screen or centre them on the map. Investments, passengers and the two to three most required goods (including the player's own position) would always be displayed.
A career engine upgrade could be researched that would allow it to transport passengers too. The upgrade would follow after the goods for era six and would cost 3,000 technology points. The tractive force would equal 10 times the tractive force of waggons.
When upgrading the laboratory, a player could decide either to increase the research speed (e.g. one research point every 70 minutes instead of 75, for $1,000,000) or to increase the research point limit (e.g. 16 points instead of 14, for $500,000). The first option is beneficial for players who are often online, while the second option helps those who only log in once or twice a day.
The ideas that didn't make it into the top five are of course not gone for good! After a review, many of them have been added to the ideas list of our game designer Bruno.
We're looking forward to receiving your votes!
Wanneer komt er hier iets van uit?
– All changes come into force with the restart of a server.
– The roll-out for this update is planned for the end of September. Of course, we'll keep you posted about the exact dates.
– Still no passenger trains in Rail Nation – USA.
Bonus Code from the e-mail does not seem to work!
Been there, done that Samisu, with the bonus Code. Copied and pasted, typed it in, but it will not check for some reason.
Sorry to hear it didn't work.
Next, I would suggest you to contact game support and tell them the bonus code could not be redeemed. Also let support know where you are playing: Name of the game world where you tried to use the code. Support can send the bonuses manually when needed.
Have a nice and sunny week!
I'm happy I play this game on my regular computer, and now I can play on my tablet. Good going improvements is always good keep it up.
Great to hear Michael, thank you for playing the game!
I would like to see something that would allow us to gather / use the research points that we cannot get once all points are full in the era. I often get all research points filled up days before the era ends and it pains me to see them just go away uncollected. if we could get a token for 40 that would allow us to upgrade the bonus engine, that would be really cool. Just a thought but it just seems like a loss to me to not be able to use the points when we work feverishly to level up the research lab.
Find a way to give the Chair better control over the corp. Nobody listens and just leaves. Make it a penalty for leaving the corp or getting fired. Also prestige hunters are making things difficult, it's not a team play anymore. It's not fun anymore.
You have to solve the problem of cities sandbagging EG to finish a lower ranking to get lower amts to haul during EG. I suggest providing the number 1 city members be awarded a certain amt of points against the career engine, like, 400 points for 1st place, 350 for 2nd place, etc. I would as an alternate change the amt delivered but maybe make it more competitive against the sandbaggers. I know I am adding some confusion here but also think about the number of players in a city and the amt required to haul. If a city is number 1 because they have 150 members hauling then slips on purpose to number 6 at eg to haul less, you could penalize them to haul more goods because of number of total city members. Free haulers must determine a top 10 city before eg.
Both options of Passenger Train and Split Labs are good ideas !
Would like to see the features of hauling passengers and landmark hauling for one of the US scenarios.
How about a true east vs West game. Drop players in one city on either side. City has to be level 5 before they can connect to next city. They have to move in groups/assoc minimum 5 players. First one to the other side wins. Bonuses added based on number of towns they created and then maintained control of.
All Mega Cities start receiving goods at the same time (i.e. just as would be with the change in any era). However…. the number 1 ranked city requires less of each good (each level it is higher than the next city gives it a further bonus in decreasing the required amount of goods).. This is then repeated until the 10th Mega City has the most goods required by the city.
No thanks David. I prefer allowing advanced players that pay attention to use effective strategies.
It should not be after the Era 6.
The transition between cargo and passenger train should not cost anything.
It should be access without costing career points.
It is quite difficult to develop the career train.
I agree that the career engine should not cost anything to be able to switch to Pax. The higher up in rank a PERSON GOES, THE HARDER IT IS TO EARN ENOUGH POINTS FOR THE CAREEER LOCO.
I suggest during end game the tonnage should change as the city changes level. If the tonnage depends on your level when You end era 6, the same rule should apply whem You deliver 12 goods, 24 and 36.
assim como a locomotiva de carreira transporta carga., porque não nos dar uma de passageiros, as melhorias seriam para cada 5.000 pontos de prestigio uma melhoria diferente. afinal somos nós que mantemos este jogo, concorda?
just as the railway locomotive transports cargo. Because it does not give us a passenger, the improvements would be for every 5,000 prestige points a different improvement. after all, it's us who keep this game, do you agree?
Tried google translate myself and it left me guessing what the comment was about.
Also thank you everyone else for your comments!

FXX's hit comedy series The League will return for its seventh and final season with 13 episodes in the fall of 2015, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions. The League, which just completed its sixth season, was created by the husband-and-wife team of Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) and Jackie Marcus Schaffer (Disturbia, Eurotrip) who serve as executive producers and directors. The series is produced by FX Productions.
"Our gang can burn a beach house like Calvin Johnson on a secondary but I shudder to think what they'll do in the final battle for the Shiva," said Grad. "The real studs here are the fans who have remained so loyal to the show over the years, including the move to FXX, and for them we are going out on top."

Interview: Sherri Saum
Every once in a while a show comes along that not only entertains you, but makes a statement. A show that combines all the elements of a great television series, but at the same time tackles issues and subjects that are not only important, but relevant. ABC Family has such a show on its network, The Fosters.
Currently in its second season, the show has become a favorite with not only fans and critics, but has also become an important beacon for race relations, the LGBT community and has also changed our idea of what a "family" is today. The series will be airing its Christmas episode on Monday, December 8th 8/7c. One of the reasons the show is such a success is the work of actress Sherri Saum who plays Lena Adams Foster.
We sit down to talk with the talented actress about the importance of the series, how having twins has changed the way she sees her character and the show and what the fans mean to her, the cast and crew.

Más golf, por favor: Five Nicklaus Design courses to swoon over this Cinco de Mayo
The 14th Hole at Quivira Golf Club
The Golden Bear, "El Oso de Oro," is well-known for his golf course designs south of the border. Nicklaus Design has created 24 golf courses in Mexico—where the weather's hot, but the golf is even hotter.
Nicklaus' first layout in Mexico debuted in 1993 with the introduction of Palmilla Golf Club, where today there are 27 holes of Nicklaus Design golf. Recognized as the grande dame of golf in Los Cabos, the layout is challenging, masterfully conceived and stunningly beautiful, with ocean views from every hole. It's a mainstay on Golfweek's list of the Best Courses of the Caribbean and Mexico and has hosted the Senior Slam of Golf on the PGA TOUR Champions and the Audi World Cup Finals—the biggest amateur event in the world.
Cabo del Sol became Nicklaus' second Signature Golf Course in Mexico when it opened in 1994. The Ocean Course capitalizes on the beauty and landscape of Los Cabos, stretching for more than a mile across some of the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring terrain in the Western Hemisphere. The course is poised against a magnificent backdrop that contrasts the emerald green turf with the brilliant blue of the Sea of Cortez. The dramatic layout places seven holes along the coastline of craggy rock outcroppings ascending from golden, sun-washed shores. It's been named the Best Private Golf Course in Mexico; one of the 100 Best Courses Outside the U.S.; and Mexico's Best Golf Experience. The course is also a three-time host of the Senior Slam of Golf on the PGA TOUR Champions.
Punta Mita, one of Mexico's most luxurious resort and residential communities, features two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses—Bahía and Pacifico—which opened 10 years apart. Punta Mita is set on a peninsula with 9.5 miles of unspoiled beaches on the Pacific Ocean and Banderas Bay. Adding to the stunning views, from December to April, migrating humpback whales can easily be spotted from shore. The par-72 Pacifico course features eight oceanside holes. Its defining feature is the one-of-a-kind alternate Hole 3b, called Tail of the Whale. Players tee off from the shore to the hole 199 yards away on a natural island in the Pacific Ocean. At low tide, a submerged stone path to the green becomes passable. It is the only natural ocean island par-3 hole in the world, and Golf Advisor named it one of the Best Island Greens in Destination Golf in 2016. The Bahía course boasts five holes that play along the ocean and an additional two with ocean views. The layouts have been recognized on Golfweek's annual list of the Best Courses of the Caribbean and Mexico, while U.S. News & World Report named the resort one of the Best Hotels in Mexico.
Quivira in Cabo San Lucas is the latest Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course to shake up Mexican golf like a maraca. The course is located in a spectacular setting at the tip of the Baja Peninsula marked by sheer granite cliffs, huge windswept dunes and rolling desert foothills, made famous as the backdrop for the movie Troy. Open less than three years, the young course was selected as the Best New International Course by GOLF Magazine, and named the 2014 Development of the Year by Golf Inc.—becoming the first Latin American development to receive the prestigious recognition from Golf Inc.

Interspecies SCNT-derived Humanesque Blastocysts
Since the 1950s, scientists have developed interspecies blastocysts in laboratory settings, but not until the 1990s did proposals emerge to engineer interspecies blastocysts that contained human genetic or cellular material. Even if these embryos were not permitted to mature to fetal stages, their ethical and political status became debated within nations attempting to use them for research.

"Derivation of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Cultured Human Primordial Germ Cells" (1998), by John Gearhart et al.
In November 1998, two independent reports were published concerning the first isolation of pluripotent human stem cells, one of which was "Derivation of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Cultured Human Primordial Germ Cells." This paper, authored by John D. Gearhart and his research team - Michael J Shamblott, Joyce Axelman, Shunping Wang, Elizabeith M. Bugg, John W. Littlefield, Peter J. Donovan, Paul D. Blumenthal, and George R. Huggins - was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science soon after James A.
"Infant Survival After Cesarean Section for Trauma" (1996), by John A. Morris, Jr. et al.
In the May 1996 edition of The Annals of Surgery, John A. Morris and his collaborators published "Infant Survival After Cesarean Section for Trauma," in which they evaluate the use of emergency cesarean sections for the treatment of pregnant trauma patients. During a cesarean section, a physician removes a fetus from a pregnant woman through an incision in her abdomen and uterus. When a pregnant woman experiences trauma, physicians can perform an emergency cesarean section to remove the fetus and administer medical treatments that would not be possible while the woman is pregnant.
"Apoptosis: A Basic Biological Phenomenon with Wide-Ranging Implications in Tissue Kinetics" (1972), by John F. R. Kerr, Andrew H. Wyllie and Alastair R. Currie
"Apoptosis: A Basic Biological Phenomenon with Wide-Ranging Implications in Tissue Kinetics" (hereafter abbreviated as "Apoptosis") was published in the British Journal of Cancer in 1972 and co-authored by three pathologists who collaborated at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. In this paper the authors propose the term apoptosis for regulated cell death that proceeds through active, controlled morphological changes. This is in contrast to necrosis, a passive mode of cell death that results from uncontrolled cellular reactions to injury or stress.
My Father, My Son (1986), by Elmo Zumwalt, Jr., Elmo Zumwalt III, and John Pekkanen
My Father, My Son is a dual autobiography by father and son Elmo Russell Zumwalt Jr. and Elmo Russell Zumwalt III published by Macmillan Publishing Company in 1986, detailing their experiences during the Vietnam War and particularly with Agent Orange, an herbicide used for defoliation and crop destruction during the war. As a commander in the Navy, Zumwalt Jr. ordered the use of Agent Orange in South Vietnam, where Zumwalt III was stationed.
Walter Edward Dandy (1886-1946)
Walter Edward Dandy studied abnormalities in the developing human brain in the United States in the twentieth century. He collaborated with pediatrician Kenneth Blackfan to provide the first clinical description of Dandy-Walker Syndrome, a congenital brain malformation in which the medial part of the brain, called the cerebellar vermis, is absent. Dandy also described the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, the clear, watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
Arthur Earl Walker (1907-1995)
Arthur Earl Walker was a medical researcher and physician who studied the brain and neurosurgery in the United States during the twentieth century. Walker examined the connections of the thalamus to the rest of the brain and how the thalamus coordinates sensory signals. The thalamus is a cluster of nerve cells located between the two hemispheres of the brain and it is responsible for consciousness and sensory interpretation.
Experiments on the Reproductive Costs of a Pure Capital Breeder, the Children's Python (Antaresia childreni) (2013), by Olivier Lourdais, Sophie Lorioux, and Dale F. DeNardo
In 2013, Olivier Lourdais, Sophie Lorioux, and Dale DeNardo conducted a study on the impact of the reproductive effort on the muscle size and the constriction strength of female Children's pythons. Children's pythons are pure capital breeders, meaning that they do not eat during vitellogenesis, a process in which egg-laying or oviparous species allocate bodily resources including fat, water, and protein to follicles in the ovary that develop into eggs.
Catherine DeAngelis (1940– )
In the late-twentieth century in the United States, Catherine DeAngelis was a pediatric physician, researcher, and editor of multiple medical journals. During her time with the Journal of the American Medical Association, DeAngelis became the journal's first female editor. At Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, she studied how physician-nurse interactions affected patient care, how immunizations and adolescent pregnancy affected children, and how medications affected men and women differently.
Florence Rena Sabin (1871-1953)
Florence Rena Sabin had successful careers as both a researcher and public health reformer. When Johns Hopkins University Medical School opened, accepting women and men on the same basis, Sabin was one of the first to enter. After the successful completion of her MD degree, Sabin went on to become the first female faculty member and later full-time professor at Johns Hopkins.
Gastrulation in Xenopus
The process of gastrulation allows for the formation of the germ layers in metazoan embryos, and is generally achieved through a series of complex and coordinated cellular movements. The process of gastrulation can be either diploblastic or triploblastic. In diploblastic organisms like cnidaria or ctenophora, only the endoderm and the ectoderm form; in triploblastic organisms (most other complex metazoans), triploblastic gastrulation produces all three germ layers.
Subject: Processes
George Washington Corner (1889-1981)
As the third director of the Carnegie Institute of Washington s Department of Embryology, George Washington Corner made a number of contributions to the life sciences as well as to administration. Corner was born on 12 December 1889 in Baltimore, Maryland, near the newly established Johns Hopkins University. Although Corner was not exposed to science much in school at a young age, he developed an early appreciation for science through conversations with his father about geography and by looking through the family's National Geographic magazines.
William Keith Brooks (1848-1908)
Biologist William Keith Brooks studied embryological development in invertebrates and used his results as evidence for theories of evolution and ancestral heredity. He founded a marine biological laboratory where his and others' embryological studies took place. Later in life, Brooks became head of the Biology Department at Johns Hopkins University where he helped shape the minds of leading embryologists.
Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome)
John Hilton Edwards first described the symptoms of the genetic disorder known as Trisomy 18 - one of the most common forms of trisomy, which occurs when cells have an extra copy of a chromosome, in humans - in 1960. Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, occurs approximately once per 6000 live births and is second in frequency only to Trisomy 21, or Down's Syndrome, as an autosomal trisomy. Trisomy 18 causes substantial developmental problems in utero.

Bernadine Healy (1944–2011)
During the twentieth century in the United States, Bernadine Patricia Healy was a cardiologist who served as the first female director of the National Institutes of Health or NIH and the president of both the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross. Healy conducted research on the different manifestations of heart attacks in women compared to men. At the time, many physicians underdiagnosed and mistreated coronary heart disease in women. Healy's research illustrated how coronary heart disease affected women.
"RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering via Cas 9" (2013), by Prashant Mali, Luhan Yang, Kevin M. Esvelt, John Aach, Marc Guell, James E. DiCarlo, Julie E. Norville, and George M. Church
In 2013, George Church and his colleagues at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts published RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering via Cas 9, in which they detailed their use of RNA-guided Cas 9 to genetically modify genes in human cells. Researchers use RNA-guided Cas 9 technology to modify the genetic information of organisms, DNA, by targeting specific sequences of DNA and subsequently replacing those targeted sequences with different DNA sequences. Church and his team used RNA-guided Cas 9 technology to edit the genetic information in human cells.
Georgeanna Seegar Jones (1912-2005)
Georgeanna Seegar Jones was a reproductive endocrinologist who created one of America' s most successful infertility clinics in West Virginia and eventually, along with her husband Howard W. Jones MD, performed the first in vitro fertilization in America, leading to the birth of Elizabeth Jordan Carr. Jones was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on 6 July 1912. Her father, Dr. John King Beck Emory Seegar, was a practicing physician at the time working in the field of obstetrics.
Leo Kanner (1894-1981)
Leo Kanner studied and described early infantile autism in humans in the US during the twentieth century. Though Eugen Bleuler first coined the term autism in 1910 as a symptom of schizophrenia, Kanner helped define autism as a disease concept separate from schizophrenia. He helped found an early child psychiatry department in 1930 at the Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
Thesis: Leo Kanner and the Psychobiology of Autism
This thesis illustrates that Kanner held an explicitly descriptive frame of reference toward his eleven child patients, their parents, and autism. Adolf Meyer, his mentor at Johns Hopkins, trained him to make detailed life-charts under a clinical framework called psychobiology. By understanding that Kanner was a psychobiologist by training, I revisit the original definition of autism as a category of mental disorder and restate its terms.

"The Environment and Disease: Association or Causation?" (1965), by Austin Bradford Hill
In 1965, Austin Bradford Hill published the article "The Environment and Disease: Association or Causation?" in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine. In the article, Hill describes nine criteria to determine if an environmental factor, especially a condition or hazard in a work environment, causes an illness. The article arose from an inaugural presidential address Hill gave at the 1965 meeting of the Section of Occupational Medicine of the Royal Society of Medicine in London, England.
