Бо́бби Фу́ллер (, 22 октября 1942 — 18 июля 1966) — американский рок-музыкант, певец. Наиболее известен по песням «I Fought the Law», «Let Her Dance» и «Love's Made a Fool of You», записанных им со своей группой The Bobby Fuller Four. Погиб 18 июля 1966 года. Фуллера нашли мёртвым в машине возле дома в Голливуде. Его тело было покрыто кровоподтёками, что предположительно стало результатом отравления парами бензина. Никаких других видимых повреждений обнаружено не было, однако в отчёте о вскрытии фигурируют слова «несчастный случай» и «самоубийство», помеченные вопросительными знаками(позже исправили на несчастный случай). Полную картину происшествия так и не восстановили, и это даёт основание полагать, что Фуллера убили. Участник группы «The Bobby Fuller Four»Джим Риз утверждал, что к трагедии мог быть причастен Чарльз Мэнсон .

В 2014 году увидела свет книга о нём, названная «I Fought the Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller».

HomeMLBDodgers in Seven is an NLCS Lock
Dodgers in Seven is an NLCS Lock
October 18, 2021 Tanner Kern MLB
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the best team in baseball. They have the best remaining record in the postseason and the most talented roster in the sport. However, they have fallen by a two-game deficit in the NLCS to the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves have done everything right in the NLCS and played nearly perfect baseball. This has resulted in two one-run victories over the Dodgers. On the other hand, Los Angeles has been horrendous through two games and nearly split at Truist Park.
Los Angeles is entering a must-win situation at home, but there is no reason to fear for the best team in baseball. Dodgers in seven is an NLCS lock, and this will become evident over the next five games.
The NLCS is Heading Back Home
A lot is going on in Los Angeles besides baseball during the spring and summer. They do not call it the City of Stars for no reason. Yet, when October rolls around, the stars come to Dodger Stadium to watch baseball, and the NLCS is headed back to Hollywood.
Home-field advantage matters in the postseason, and it can be very difficult to play in historic ballparks like Fenway Park or Dodger Stadium. The fans will be on their feet for nine innings over the next three games in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers had the best home record in baseball throughout the regular season at 58-23. The Giants, who Los Angeles eliminated in the NLCS, came in second with a 54-27 mark.
The Dodgers play well at home, and this boost should help them perform better in high leverage situations in the middle of the NLCS.
Big Game Buehler Gets the Ball
Walker Buehler has been tremendous throughout 2021 for the Dodgers. In his last start on short rest, he went 4.1 innings against the Giants, allowing one run on three hits. He threw 99 pitches four days prior to game five of the NLDS and still demanded the ball with the season on the line.
Buehler has a 16-4 record with a 2.47 ERA and 212 strikeouts this season. He has been sensational throughout the year and performed well in high leverage moments in the postseason.
Max Scherzer has been a tremendous addition to the pitching staff since the trade deadline. Although, if there is one pitcher who Los Angeles wants pitching with the season on the line, it's big-game Buehler.
Dave Roberts said, "Walker's ready to go. He's got an extra couple days. So, certainly for Game 3, we're going to lean on him."
Only One Bullpen Game
The Dodgers have Buehler going on Tuesday after an extended rest period. Assuming he delivers another stellar performance, Los Angeles will enter game four with Julio Urias, who led baseball in wins this season.
He gave up two runs in one inning of relief work on Sunday, but he will be fully rested for the fourth game of the series. Game five could be a difficult night for the Dodgers because it will likely be a bullpen strategy for Roberts.
If Los Angeles can win two games at home, they will head back to Atlanta with Max Scherzer in game six and Buehler to cap off the NLCS. When you see the roster of pitching that Atlanta will have to encounter, it's hard to believe in the Braves, even with a 2-0 lead.
If the offense can improve from its 2 for 18 with runners in scoring position during the first two contests, Los Angeles will dominate Atlanta.
Dodgers in seven is an NLCS lock.

Grausame Richter (Originaltitel For Men Only (auch Time for Men Only) – alternativ The Tall Lie) ist der Titel eines Kriminalfilms von und mit Paul Henreid aus dem Jahr 1952. In tragenden Rollen sind Margaret Field und James Dobson besetzt. Der Film firmierte auch unter den Titeln Die Mitleidlosen und Starke und Halbstarke. Das Drehbuch von Lou Morheim basiert auf ihrer zusammen mit Herbert H. Margolis verfassten Erzählung.

Handlung
Um in die Studentenverbindung Omega Nu aufgenommen zu werden, müssen Anwärter sinnlose und teilweise sadistische Prüfungen bestehen. Unter den Neuanwärtern ist auch Tod Palmer, dessen Willen der Präsident der Verbindung Ky Walker um jeden Preis brechen will. Am Wake College ist Tod einer der besten Schüler von Prof. Stephen Brice. Brice unterrichtet Pathologie und wird von den meisten Schülern und der Lehrerschaft sehr geschätzt. Als Tod nach einer Verbindungsprüfung, bei der er in eisigem Wasser ausharren musste, zu spät zur Vorlesung kommt, nimmt ihn sein Mentor zur Seite. Er will wissen, ob seine zunehmend schlechten Leistungen etwas mit der Studentenverbindung zu tun hätten, doch Tod verneint. Am Ende der Vorlesung warten Ky und seine engsten Freunde schon auf ihn. Reihum muss sich Tod von den Mitgliedern in der Öffentlichkeit mit einem Paddel schlagen lassen und sich dafür auch noch bedanken. Der jungen, mit ihm befreundeten Studentin Kathy Hughes erzählt Tod davon, dass diese Nacht eine weitere Prüfung anstehe.

Brice' Frau Julie möchte, dass ihr Mann Dekan der Medizinischen Fakultät wird, um in der Gesellschaft aufzusteigen. Tods Mutter erscheint und zeigt Brice eine eidesstattliche Versicherung, die der Vorstand der Studentenvereinigung ihrem Sohn gegeben hat. Darin werden die Mitglieder von jeder Schuld freigesprochen, falls bei einer der Prüfungen etwas passiert. Stephen Brice rät ihr zur Unterzeichnung, damit Tod vor der Gruppe nicht bloßgestellt wird.

Neben Tod werden an diesem Abend weitere drei Studenten der sogenannten letzten Prüfung unterzogen, unter ihnen auch der eher ängstliche Bartholomew "Beanie" Brown. In einem Waldstück werden sie von den Mitgliedern der Vereinigung, aber auch Absolventen der Universität erwartet. Alle heben zum Schwur die Hand und sprechen mit Ky Walker den Eid der Vereinigung. Man schneidet ihnen je ein Hosenbein ab und malt ihnen Farbe ins Gesicht. Ein Welpe wird herbeigebracht, den Tod auf Walkers Anweisung hin erschießen soll. Der junge Student weigert sich, sodass das Tier von einem anderen Anwärter erschossen wird. Als er von dem Hundeblut trinken soll, schlägt er gegen das Gefäß und rennt davon. Er flüchtet sich zu Brice, der Tod nahelegt, den Vorfall dem Bezirksstaatsanwalt Jesse Hopkins und dem Schulpräsidenten Colin Mayberry vorzutragen.

Die Zeitungen berichten auf der ersten Seite über den Fall. Tod führt den Staatsanwalt und die ermittelnden Beamten an den Ort des Geschehens. Alle Spuren sind sorgfältig beseitigt worden. Auch die Studenten werden befragt und bestreiten die Vorwürfe. Walker weist einen Hund vor, der genauso aussieht wie der getötete. Tod kann seinen Einwurf, das sei ein anderer, nicht beweisen. Als man "Beanie" Brown befragt, leugnet er die Tötung eines Welpen und antwortet auf die Frage, ob der Hund auf Walkers Arm der fragliche Hund sei, mit ja. Der Schulleiter Mayberry zeigt sich erleichtert, dass sein Institut nun nicht mehr mit einer solch unschönen Geschichte in Verbindung gebracht werden könne. Stephen Brice' Frau Julie ist nicht sehr glücklich darüber, dass ihr Mann den Fall trotzdem weiterverfolgen will und rät ihm ab. Die Presse macht sich inzwischen lustig über Tod und auch im College hat er viel Spott und Bösartigkeit auszustehen. Einzig Kathy Hughes hält zu ihm und rät ihm zu einem Schulwechsel, doch will Tod bis zum nächsten Frühjahr aushalten. Als er mit dem Auto unterwegs ist, wird er von Walker und dessen Leuten verfolgt. Sie haben zuvor die Windschutzscheibe von Tods Wagen beschmiert, sodass er kaum etwas sehen kann. Panisch versucht er seinen Verfolgern zu entkommen und rast dabei in einen Lastwagen. Schwerverletzt kommt Tod ins Krankenhaus, wo seine Mutter dem Professor eine Mitschuld an der Lage ihres Sohnes zuweist.

Als Brice sich in seinem Labor ablenken will, folgt ihm die junge Tracy Norman, die sich in den älteren Mann verliebt hat. Er weist sie ab, woraufhin sie sich an ihm rächen will. Brice will unterdessen Tod keinesfalls aufgeben. Auch ein Ultimatum seiner Frau ändert daran nichts. Julie zieht daraufhin aus dem gemeinsamen Haus aus. Während der Professor eine flammende Rede vor den Studenten hält, betritt Kathy Hughes den Raum mit der Nachricht, dass Tod gestorben sei. Viele der Studenten unterzeichnen nun die von Prof. Brice initiierte Petition gegen erniedrigende Aufnahmerituale in Studentenverbindungen. Walker wiederum nutzt Tracys verletzte Eitelkeit für seine Zwecke. Er bringt sie dazu, sich Brice zu nähern und kurz darauf der sexuellen Belästigung anzuklagen. Brice kann vor dem einberufenen Untersuchungsausschuss seine Unschuld nicht beweisen und wird entlassen. Julie jedoch kehrt zu ihm zurück. "Beanie" ruft den Professor an. Er will vor dem Untersuchungsausschuss die Wahrheit erzählen, wird jedoch von Ky Walker zum Schweigen gezwungen und verprügelt. Brice findet ihn kurz darauf zerschunden in einer Bar auf. Vor dem Untersuchungsausschuss erscheint "Beanie" nicht und Stephen erfährt wenig später, dass er die Schule verlassen hat. Brice sagt Walker auf den Kopf zu, dass er dafür verantwortlich sei. Seine Hand ist von der Schlägerei mit "Beanie" verletzt und Brice reißt ihm das Pflaster ab. Er kündigt an, anhand der Spuren auf dem Pflaster analysieren zu wollen, ob sich Blut von "Beanie" daran befinde. Walker will den Professor kurz darauf im Labor überfallen, doch stellt ihn Brice. Er bringt Ky Walker dazu, zuzugeben, dass ein Welpe sinnlos geopfert wurde und dass Tracy auf seine Anordnung hin gelogen hat. Julie, Präsident Mayberry und weitere Kollegen werden hinter der Tür Zeugen dieser Aussagen. Mayberry bittet Brice zu bleiben und bietet ihm den Posten als Dekan an. Zur Freude seiner Kollegen und seiner Frau willigt Stephen ein.

Produktion

Produktionsnotizen
Gedreht wurde von Anfang September bis zum 22. September 1951 in den General Service Studios in Los Angeles sowie im Los Angeles City College in Kalifornien. Es handelt sich um einen Film der H-N Productions der Lippert Pictures im Verleih der Döring-Film GmbH. Rechteinhaber ist Kit Parker Films.

Paul Henreid fungierte in dieser Produktion sowohl als Hauptdarsteller wie auch als Regisseur und Produzent. Henreid erzählte, dass der Film eigentlich den Titel Hell Night bekommen sollte, es aber Schwierigkeiten gab, sodass man sich auf den Titel der Originalvorlage einigte. Bei seiner Erstaufführung war der Film durchaus erfolgreich, jedoch wurde er bei einer späteren Wiederaufführung zusammen mit dem Film Der rote Korsar (The Crimson Pirate) vorgeführt, was dazu führte, dass auf der Ankündigung stand: For Men Only – The Crimson Pirate, was so viel bedeutete wie: Ein Piratenfilm – nur für Männer! Henreid zog seinen Film daraufhin zurück und änderte den Titel in The Tall Lie, was allerdings auch nicht mehr half.

Vera Miles, damals 22 Jahre alt, hat in diesem Film ihre erste etwas größere Rolle. Acht Jahre später spielte sie in dem Film Psycho eine der Hauptrollen.

Synchronisation
Die deutsche Synchronbearbeitung lag bei der Internationalen Film-Union A.G. Remagen. Für die deutschen Texte wie auch die Regie zeichnet Hanns Eggerth verantwortlich.

Veröffentlichung
Der Film hatte am 11. Januar 1952 seine Premiere in den USA. Dort ist er auch unter dem Titel The Tall Lie gelaufen. Im Oktober 1952 wurde er in Schweden veröffentlicht und am 20. Februar 1953 in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Im selben Jahr erfuhr er auch eine Veröffentlichung in Dänemark und Finnland. In Frankreich wurde er 1954 in ausgewählten Kinos gezeigt, in Dänemark erfuhr er 1955 eine Wiederaufführung. Veröffentlicht wurde der Film zudem in Belgien.

Kritik

In der Kritik in der New York Times wurde darauf verwiesen, dass Paul Henreid gleich in dreifacher Funktion am Film beteiligt sei, nämlich als Produzent, Regisseur und Star. Zwar sei sein Beitrag nicht dazu geeignet, eine umfassende Reform in Gang zu setzen, aber immerhin könne er einige Institutionen in Verlegenheit bringen in Hinsicht auf Bruderschaften. Henreids Mehrfachfunktion habe die Qualität seiner schauspielerischen Darbietung nicht getrübt. Er gebe einen überzeugenden Professor, dessen Emotionen aufrichtig und offen seien. Auch habe er sich mit genügend jungen Leuten umgeben, um seiner Darstellung die nötige Reife zu verleihen. Hervorzuheben seien Robert Sherman als Tod Palmer, aber auch Russell Johnson als schurkischer Campusführer, Margaret Field in der Rolle von Henreids Frau, Kathleen Hughes als Femme Fatale-Nachwuchs sowie Vera Miles als Freundin des Opfers.

In many of our statements of faith such as those used for our various associations, we read something like the following: We believe that there is one and only one living and true God, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth; and there is a Godhead, one in spirit, essence and power, and that this Godhead consists of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
This foundational belief is referred to as the doctrine of the Trinity. In this article we will look at some of the evidence of this doctrine found in the Scripture. In the interest of time and space, only a portion of the evidence will be presented. On each major point, a sampling of scripture references will be provided should you wish to study the subject further. You should understand this is a complex and fascinating doctrine. This article only provides enough on the subject so that you can be confident of its truthfulness.
Interestingly, the doctrine of the Trinity is unique to Christians. No other religion believes in a triune God. It is also a doctrine that is rather difficult to understand. There is not really anything quite like it to which we can point as an illustration which fully displays its character. As a result, we sometimes neglect to teach it as we should. It is a mistake to avoid such an important doctrine. As we will see today, the Scriptures clearly teach the doctrine of the Trinity and we should therefore embrace its wonder and recognize that God is far greater than we can imagine.
The word "Trinity" does not show up anywhere in the Bible. Rather this is just a word that has been coined to give short hand to the doctrine presented in the opening paragraph of this lesson. While the word does not appear in Scripture, the doctrine does.
The word Trinity is made up of two words – "tri" and "unity" or three in one. There are three statements that summarize this doctrine: (1) There is one God (2) God is three persons (3) Each person is fully God. If we remove any of these three, we are no longer thinking Biblically about the Godhead. Let's consider each of these vital points.
God is One. The Trinity does not mean that there are three Gods. That is a belief known as "tritheism." Such a belief is in direct conflict with a mountain of Scripture. Deuteronomy 6:4 states it succinctly "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD." You can also see this truth presented in a variety of other passages (A sampling from the Old Testament: Psalm 86:10; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8; 45:5-6, 18, 21-22; 46:9; And a sampling from the New Testament: Mark 12:29; John 10:30; John 17:3; Romans 3:30; 1 Corinthians 8:4-6; Ephesians 4:6; 1 Timothy 2:5).
It is evident from these samplings of scripture that the Bible is very clear that God is one. You might wonder why. Historically, Israel was surrounded by polytheists. These are people who believe in multiple gods. Israel was called to counter this wrong view of God. Some people think that mankind was originally polytheist and then came to believe in one God. The Bible presents the opposite. Man was made to know the one true living God and then became corrupt and began worshipping many false gods. God separated Abraham from these idol worshippers so that He might have a people that would serve as a witness to Him. That responsibility has now been passed on to the Church today.
Polytheism was a tool of Satan to confuse mankind. He later tried another tool – to present God as one, but not the God of the Bible. Perhaps the most fundamental teaching of Islam is that there is only one God and Mohamad is his prophet. To the Muslim, the idea of God having a son or that there can be three persons in the godhead is anathema – a strong curse. But Biblically we know that to deny the Son is to deny the father (John 5:23, 8:19, 10:30, 15:23, 24; 1John 2:23; 2 John 1:9-11). We see then that it is important that we get this doctrine right.
God is three persons.Though God is one, He exists in three distinct persons. This is contrary to the teaching of some that say the Fatherbecamethe Son, and then becamethe Holy Spirit. No, the Bible presents them as three distinct persons. We see this for example in the command to baptize. Jesus said we are to baptize "in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). Notice how each person of the Godhead is separated and distinguished by the article "and." This is a method in language that accentuates each item in a list. It means that God would have us know and understand that each person is distinct. That each are distinct is evident in Scripture. We see all three listed in 2 Corinthians 13:14. We can find a distinction made between the Father and the Son (the Word) in John 1:1-2, 14. We see Jesus praying to the Father in John 17 – if he is praying to the Father then he must be distinct from the Father. Likewise, the writer of Hebrews tells us that Jesus is our High Priest that makes intercession with the father for us (Hebrews 7:24-28). The Scriptures also make a clear distinction between the Son and the Holy Spirit. For example, Jesus speaks of his leaving so that the Holy Spirit might come (John 14:15-31). All three are of course present at the Baptism of Jesus (Mark 1:9-11).
While the Trinity is not fully presented until the New Testament, there were hints of this doctrine in the Old Testament. In particular, we see that the Godhead was presented as a plurality (consisting of multiple persons). This was evident for example when God said "Let usmake man in ourimage after our likeness" (Genesis 1:26). We likewise see this idea presented in many other scriptures (Genesis 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8).
How do we reconcile the idea that there are three person and yet God is one? Frankly, we cannot. Our minds cannot comprehend a being that exists as three persons, just as we cannot fathom a being that is eternal. There is nothing like it; there is no illustration to help us comprehend it. Perhaps this is by design. Perhaps God would have us in awe of a being more glorious than we can imagine.
Each person in the Godhead is fully God. This means that each possess the whole essence of God. Every attribute of God is present in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. For example, the Bible speaks of the "fullness of God" dwelling in Jesus (Colossians 1:19). We see this truth presented in a variety of ways in the scripture (Matthew 1:23; John 10:10; 14:9-10; 17:21; 1 John 5:7,8). Many of the attributes of God are explicitly applied to Jesus: Eternalness (John 8:58), Immutability (never changing, see Hebrews 13:8); Omnipotence (having all power see Matthew 28:18), Omnipresence (present everywhere see Matthew 28:20), omniscience (having all knowledge see John 1:48). He is likewise presented as the creator, the one in whom all things consist, and the judge of all mankind (See Colossians 1:15-19).
We can likewise see that the Holy Spirit is presented as fully God. For example, in Acts 5:3-4, Peter speaks of a man lying to the Holy Ghost as lying to God. He is likewise presented as being eternal (Hebrews 9:14), omnipotent (Luke 1:35), omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-10), and omniscient (John 14:26). He is presented as the creator (Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4). There are a multitude of other passages which demonstrate that both Jesus and the Holy Ghost are fully God. These references are sufficient to demonstrate the truthfulness that each person in the Godhead is fully God.
As we have seen, the Trinity is something that has been revealed in Scripture – it is part of the specific revelation which we call God's Word, the Bible. While it is hinted at in the Old Testament, it becomes clear in the New. It is also in the New Testament that we get the clearest view of God's plan of redemption. We see how God will be both just and merciful: He sends His only begotten Son to take our place as an atonement for our sins. The Trinity is then essential to the plan of redemption. It is only through a plurality in the Godhead that God can be both just and justifier of those that believe (Romans 3:23-26).
The Trinity provides the only means of truly knowing God. If there is a multitude of gods, as the polytheists believe, we would never know which god to worship and we could not possibly worship them all. Even if there were only two gods, we could not possibly give total devotion to both, even as we cannot serve God and mammon. Likewise, if everything is god as the pantheist believe, then God is not a person but a force – spread so widely that knowing that force requires knowing the universe! But if God is one in the sense that Islam teaches, God is distant and unknowable as he does not reveal himself as does the God of the Bible. In contrast to these views of God, the triune God of the Bible, in whose image we are made, is touched by the feelings of our infirmities. He reveals himself to us and is therefore truly knowable.
The Trinity is also essential for the Glory of God. For example, we are told that God is love (1 John 4:8). This is part of His glory; it is what makes Him worthy of praise. But love must have an object. If God is love, who did He love before the beginning when there was only God? The answer is He loved Himself, but not the way you and I might love ourselves. There was a circle of love flowing between the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Jesus spoke of this love in John 17:24. In fact, we see later in that chapter, the plan of redemption means the expansion of that circle to include all that believe (John 17:26). With this expansion, the Glory of God is magnified.
It is in the doctrine of the Trinity we see unity in diversity and through that, the glory of God. This theme of unity in diversity is beautiful. Think of a husband and a wife, though different in so many ways yet joined together as one. Think of a church filled with so many different personalities, yet unified in the service to the Lord. Think of millions of voices, from every nation, unified in praises to Jesus Christ (Revelation 7:9-12) – unity in diversity bringing the glory and honor due to God. It is then through the Trinity, that God will tear down the walls between people and unify them with Himself, bringing Himself honor.
The doctrine of the Trinity is not some obscure notion for theologians locked in ivy covered towers. The Trinity is a fundamental doctrine to the Christian faith. It is a Christian distinction. We believe that God the Father, sent His only begotten son to provide a means that we might be justified. We further believe that when someone repents and trusts Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in them, giving them the desire and power to please God (Philippians 2:12,13). We are then to give full devotion and worship to each of the three persons in the Godhead. We pray to the Father, in the name of the son, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Joking" Samoan PM says churches "joking" about Casino
Story-Related
PM brands IRB refs 'idiots'
IRB investigates Tuilaepa
The Prime Minister of Samoa, Tuilaepa Fatialofa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi, well known for his light hearted comments to the media, is suggesting that the country's National Council of Churches was acting in a similarly jocular manner when it warned of the perils of casinos and gambling in Samoa.
Last week the Chairman of NCC, Reverend Kasiano Le'aupepe, a deacon in the Catholic church, said he feared the perils of gambling will shake Samoa's Christian foundation.
Tuilaepa said that Le'aupepe must have been "joking."
The Prime Minister, who is also the chairman of the Samoa Rugby Union, has also been in the news for suggesting that the IRB is racist and its referees are idiots.
In the course of an interview after the match in which Samoa narrowly lost to Scotland the Prime Minister said, among other things that "If the siren sounds and the referee continues the match unnecessarily, then a rock hitting his head would be justified!"
The editor of Savali, the Samoan Government's official newspaper, Tupuola Terry Tavita, says that Tuilaepa's remarks have been misunderstood. "At the heart of the matter is, there are subtle nuances in the Samoan language and particular to Samoan dialogue and its intended Samoan audience that gets lost when translated to English," said Tupuola.
"What is good-humoured ribbing when said in Samoan could mean something else when quoted in a formal newspaper article in English and read by people who are not accustomed to Samoan humour and the Samoan colloquy," he said.

ARTICULAR FRACTURES OF DISTAL RADIUS: COMPARISON OF TREATMENT AND CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES WITH VOLAR PLATE VERSUS HOFFMANN BRIDGING EXTERNAL FIXATOR.
By Michele Bisaccia et al. on	 April 11, 2017 Embj
The Wrist fractures are one of the most frequent traumatic pathologies. Surgery is now more commonly recommended for this type of fracture as a means to improve the outcome of patients. The objective of this study is to compare treatment with volar plate vs. external fixation in these types of fractures. A total of 158 consecutive patients who had been operated on for distal radius fractures with or without ulnar involvement, were included in this study. 109 were treated with a volar plate and 49 with Hoffmann II external fixator. The exclusion criteria were patients with a history of wrist fractures, with neurological diseases, pathological fractures and polytrauma patients. Clinical and radiographic results were evaluated in both groups of patients. Clinical parameters were: average flexion, average extension, average pronation and supination, and the average radial and ulnar deviation. The radiographic parameters that we considered were the radial tilt and ulnar variance. In both groups, we evaluated the clinical results with the DASH score and the Mayo-Wrist score. The unstable and intra-articular fractures of the distal radius can be treated with different methods, among which the most commonly used are the open reduction and internal fixation with plates or the synthesis with external fixation. Our study shows how both methods provide similar clinical and radiographic results, so the choice of which to use depends more on the surgeon's experience and the patient's compliance rather than on the type of fracture.

High blood pressure caused by kidney disease is called renal hypertension.
In the early stages of glomerulonephritis, the main part of kidney damage is the glomerulus. When kidney disease is severe and progresses to renal failure, the kidney's peribulular cells are damaged. At this point, the kidney will activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, resulting in vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure, which is called renal substantive hypertension (hypertension caused by renal ischemia which results from renal artery stenosis is called renal vascular hypertension).
Renal hypertension is secondary hypertension, accounting for 5-10% of patients with hypertension, and the etiology of primary hypertension is not clear.
How to distinguish renal hypertension from primary hypertension?
Primary hypertension generally occurs in the elderly at the age of 40-50 years old, and renal hypertension occurs in the age of 30-40 years old.
Primary hypertension patients usually have family history, while renal hypertension patients do not have.
Primary hypertension often has hypertension first, then abnormal urine test; Renal hypertension usually results from abnormal urine test before hypertension.
In the early stage of hypertension, urinary changes and renal injury are not obvious in patients with primary hypertension. Urinary changes and renal function injury are more obvious in patients with renal hypertension.
Renal injury in primary hypertension is accompanied by heart and retinal vascular sclerosis. For patients with renal hypertension, they usually have fundus changes with the elevation of blood pressure.
There are also differences in the treatment of renal hypertension and primary hypertension.
The treatment of primary hypertension is the treatment of hypertension itself without special attention to the kidneys.
Renal hypertension should first be treated for primary disease, which is renal disease. Secondly, the angiotensin inhibitor ACEI/ARB-like drugs should be considered first in the selection of antihypertensive drugs for renal hypertension. Finally, when kidney function is severely impaired and urine volume is reduced, diuresis or even hemodialysis is required to reduce water retention, and then blood pressure is lowered.
Now you know that renal hypertension is different from primary hypertension, and their treatments are also different. For more information on kidney disease, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.

Q: configuring HTTP endpoint to shutdown a spring boot web application I have a Spring boot application running. Referring https://stackoverflow.com/a/36275797/6038386 to gracefully shut down the server, I included all changes in my pom.xml and application.properties.
Problem is when I am running spring boot server on one terminal (It starts successfully as expected) and try to shut it down using command: curl -X POST localhost:8000/shutdown on another terminal, server still keeps running. It is not shutting down. On my local, I don't see any logs or exception when i hit this shutdown command.

Can someone please help me to figure out, what is missing in my
  configuration.

my application.properties includes following lines:

A: With the 1.5 version of spring boot , i think there is no sure shutdown mechanism.
You can see check this link and follow how to properly shutdown with jmx or http,  https://github.com/corentin59/spring-boot-graceful-shutdown in your application.
good Luck

A: Answering my own question:
Actually it was a silly mistake. I was just copy pasting the stuff from
https://stackoverflow.com/a/36275797/6038386 without actually understanding it.
I had included server.contextPath=/AllergiesConditions in my application.properties
So now command to shutdown would become: curl -X POST localhost:8080/AllergiesConditions/shutdown
Another mistake I did was that, I didn't post my full application.properties in question's description, so actually no one could help.

The Cordillera Blanca, PE
March 14, 2018, Trip: Peru
View: Peru galleries
It was time to leave Cajamarca but we had one more thing to see in the area: Cumbe Mayo. This manmade canal/aqueduct is considered to be the oldest manmade structure in South America. It was about a 40 minute drive southwest of the city on a windy (surprise, surprise) uphill, dirt road. We had read interesting info on the site and were prepared to be underwhelmed with something that old (many times it's just piles of rocks) but it surpassed our expectations by kilometres. The weather cooperated and we had a lovely 1.25 hour hike through the site, seeing amazing rock formations, staircases, a tunnel to walk through, a sacrificial rock, petroglyphs and beautiful scenery in general.
Back story: Cumbe Mayo was built by an advanced pre-Inca society around 1500 B.C. Cumbe Mayo, which translates to "thin river", is thought to be a marvel of the impact of time upon nature and man wonderfully combined.
Archeologists aren't exactly sure why they were built, but it's thought that the canals were meant to slow down and regulate the movement of water. They were likely constructed using obsidian hammers. The caves and shelters of the area evidence other stone engravings, where visitors claim to see anthropomorphic images.
The aqueduct winds down the hills toward the city of Cajamarca, stretching out over about 8km/5km in length. The canals brought water from the high grounds to the valleys below and it is believed that a reservoir was situated at Santa Apolonia at one time.
We drove back into Cajamarca to hit the grocery store and made our way south. We'd been in touch with Christine and Mark who had completed their volunteer week and were heading northwest towards us so we arranged to meet in Caráz near a big hiking area at a campground that came highly recommended. Mark had been quite ill with the flu so we are hoping he recovers soon and that it's nothing worse. The plan is to meet Friday/Saturday at Camping Guadalupe.
Now we'd heard about several scenic road options heading south and finally set our sights on a route. We drove the PE3N to the small city of Huamachuco first. The road was a two lane highway for most of the way and we arrived there before dark. We checked out a few options listed on iOverlander, but nothing had parking that we could fit it (low gates or we were too long). We spoke to a policeman who said no parking was allowed on the main square but there was a truck bypass road that was safe and we could spend the night there. We were not optimistic about a good night's sleep on a truck route but we did sleep well as there were no dogs or roosters around. Naturally once the road traffic began around six we were awake but that was fine as we had lots of kilometres to drive. Wednesday we'd done almost half of the 340km/210m to Caraz.
So we "tried" to leave Huamachuco; we say "try" as it took forever to get out of town. First we wanted to fill up the gas tank and the jerry cans as we wanted to be sure we had enough gas to take these scenic back roads and you never know how long they'll take and how much climbing is involved (which sucks the tank dry must faster). Well, the first station out of town we passed had a line up so we continued to the second one. There was only a couple of moto taxis at the pump so we pulled in as we discovered there were no more stations enroute. Well, the gas pump nozzle did not like our tank; it took forever to fill – over a half hour! (we were only just below half) and then we filled the jerry cans. Then the route to get to main road was a bad dirt sectdion and in total it took us over an hour to get out of "Dodge"!
The PE3N out of Huamachuco was paved for a short bit but turned into a dirt road with short paved sections, then we switched to some backroads which had mountain passes with windy roads although with some good paved sections especially on the many switch backs down one mountain to the Tablachaca River and then back up the other side.
Windy road down and you can see the windy road back up the other side of the river:
We arrived in Pallasca around 4:30 and checked with the police on the main square about parking there for the night as others had done and they told us which side of the square to park on. It's a small pretty town with a nice square and we had a quiet night again with no dogs or roosters.
Leaving Pallasca, we were now on the AN100 which was patchy pavement with potholes and then gravel/dirt. Along the way we see a least a half dozen archeological sites signs. Peru has to be the most "ruined" country we've been to.
Some sections were very narrow and there was a lot of undercut road. The views were quite something and we travelled very slowly but again the scenery made it worth it. It was like our own rainbow mountain range with reds, greens, yellows, purple, greys, blacks and browns in the hills. The road actually follows the Tablachaca River (very muddy but fast flowing) and there are people subsisting along the river banks with fields of veggies, cows and sheep. Such a hard life.
This road eventually gets you back on the PE3N but there is no way this would be considered a national route in other parts of the world. Mostly single lane, lots of places where landslides had taken out the road, many repaired but we did drive through piles of gravel that had washed down to the road. It was sloooooow going for the first couple of hours. Then when we switched highways, we got back on a paved section that ends up being pretty good and we began following the course of the Rio Santa which is flowing quite quickly and the water was cleaner than the Tablachaco. Here we entered a new canyon and the views continued to astound us. The road is double lanes for a while then back to single but mostly paved and fortunately, we've hardly met any traffic either yesterday or today which made it even more pleasurable; no big tractor trailers, just the odd bus, or local traffic and a few motor bikes.
We arrived at the Canón del Pato dam after passing through a few tunnels as we continued to follow the Rio Santa and then there were several more tunnels – probably nearly 40 in total. We stopped often for pics and video and were very happy we came this route. "Espectacular" as they say in Spanish.
We arrived at Camping Guadalupe in Caraz next to Peru's Cordillera Blanca around 3:00 to find KP & Taylor were here, a French couple with a BC plated camper and a Brazilian couple on bicycles. Christine and Mark arrived a couple of hours later. Now there are FOUR Silverado trucks altogether. This camping spot is on iOverlander and Jaime, the owner, is a farmer with what appears to be a large chunk of land that is a working farm. He has set up an awesome "compound" area for campers with lots of power outlets, an amazing bathroom block with constant hot water and there is internet throughout.
While travelling today, we'd heard a rattle noise from under the truck when turning right and it turned out to be the tailpipe. As we drove into the long driveway of this campsite, Fran heard a new noise and we stopped and saw the tailpipe was barely hanging on. As we came the last 20m, we heard it fall off. So Doug walked back to get it and spoke to the owner, Jaime, about where to get it welded back on.
We had a very nice happy hour with KP, Christine and Mark and then a second one with Adeline and Florian (from France). It had started to rain so we packed in the first one which was outdoors and after we got inside, the French couple came over and we had one more in our rig.
We had a really good night's sleep and next day we hung around the campsite catching up and doing odd chores and Doug got the tailpipe welded back on. That evening a couple arrived in a van with Chilean plates; Lee & Zowie are friends from England heading north as far as Colombia.
It rained a good portion of the night but never hard enough to let us know for sure that our back wall was now leak proof. Dang, rainy season is not over but it never seems to want to rain hard enough to really test that wall.
Sunday, Christine joined us for a walk into the town of Caraz while Mark continued to recuperate his strengthand we checked out the main square, some nearby free ruins (mostly just rocks) and then the market. We bought some of the town speciality, manjar blanco, which is a sweet thick substance made from milk that is a little different from condensed milk in that it's sweeter and thicker – it reminded Fran of her mother's sugar pie. It has the consistency of pasteurized honey and tasted good on toast.
Sidebar: We've yet to see someone in the mountains of Peru actually cutting their grass; they use sheep (or cows) – they tie the animal up on a short lease and let them eat the grass one section at a time.
Now we began our exploration of the Cordillera Blanca in the Peruvian Andes. These are the highest mountains in the tropical world – they are 35 peaks above 6000m/19685'! The highest peak is Huascaran at 6768m/22204 '. There are many glaciers but like elsewhere in the world, they are receding quickly. We are currently next to the Huascaran National Park which is divided into various regions so the plan is to check out a few sections and get some hiking in. In this park live vicunas, vizcachas (an Andean rabbit), deer, fox, the odd speckled bear and hummingbirds to name a few. It was named a UNESCO site in 1985 and covers 3400 square kilometres or 1300 square miles.
Monday morning we hopped in Mark and Christine's truck (their camper slides out) and we drove the 35km to the Laguna Parón section of the park. This area contains a glacier limestone lake in the mountains. The city of Caraz sits at about 2200m/7200' and the lake sits up at 4200m/23600'. Well 35 km takes two hours on that dirt road. The lake is beautiful but the sun never fully came out so we could see the mountain peaks that surround it.
What it supposed to look like on a clear day (the peak in the centre is rumoured to be the one in he Paramount Pictures logo – mmmhhhhh):
what we saw on arrival:
We hiked up the left hand side the lake and the weather never cleared and it actually began to rain, so out came the rain ponchos. As it really got socked in, the view worsened and Doug was suffering from an altitude headache so we turned around but Mark & Christine continued on trying to reach the end of the lake.
We walked back to the refugio/parking area and then walked down a different path to be on the shore the lake and so Fran could put her feet in the cold water.
Mark and Christine returned about a half hour later not making it all the way either and as they did not want to come to the shore, we packed it in and left. We met KP & Taylor coming up on our way down; they were planning to spend the night up there and do the hike the next morning. We wished them good weather.
It rained most of the way back and as we got back to town, we stopped at a bakery, picked up some savory and sweet individual pies for dinner and called it a day.
Tuesday, Doug went into town with Tigger to get the wheel bearing/bushings in front checked; Fran stayed behind doing laundry and hanging with Christine. It was a gorgeous today so we're all jealous that KP & Taylor are probably getting amazing views! Turns out the bearing does need replacing but we're good for a while. The mechanic wanted to remove the bearing to ensure he'd get the right part but we'd been told that once it comes out, often it cannot go back in correctly so Doug will order two when we go home and we'll get them installed in Cuzco.
Wednesday we awoke early (6:00) to rain, a little heavier than we'd had here but not pouring and began to doubt our day's plan: driving to the Llanganuco Lakes with Mark & Christine. At 7, Fran and Christine chatted on WhatsApp and as it was clearing, we said let's go and again we all piled into their truck taking turns in the front seat throughout the day to enjoy the scenery.
The drive up began by going through the nearby town of Yungay and then off on to a (you guessed it!) a dirt road. This was a 45km drive up to a view point past the Llanganuco Lakes (which are supposed to be different colours in different seasons – today is the first day of fall here). The skies cleared some more and not long after we left Yungay, we could see the peaks of Huascaran through the clouds. It never showed itself fully but we saw more glacier than we'd see at Paron and also saw its sister peak poking through and one to the northeast of it. Our trip was starting well.
A little history: The 1970 Ancas earthquake also known as "the Great Peruvian Earthquake" occurred on May 31st off the coast of Peru about 3:30 in the afternoon local time. Combined with the resultant landslide, it is considered the most catastrophic natural disaster in Peru's history. Due to the large amounts of snow and ice included in the landslide, and its estimated 66-70,000 causalities, it is also considered to be the world's deadliest avalanche. The northern wall of Mount Huascaran was destabilized and it buried the towns of Yungay and Ranrahirca. The avalanche measured 910 metres (2,990 ft) wide and 1.6 km (1 mile) long travelling at an average speed of 280 to 335 km per hour. The earthquake affected an area of about 83,000 km², an area larger than Belgium and the Netherlands combined
We made it to the first lake: Chinancocha (named after a princess) and took a stroll along the path there for about half an hour admiring the massive rock cliffs around us with waterfalls and a glacier.
We drove on past the next lake, Orkancocha (named after her prince) but figured we'd stop there on the way down from the 4800m view point called Portachuelo de Llanganuco. The drive up was full of switchbacks and we saw lots more pieces of glaciers but never the full peaks.
You could actually see how big the glaciers used to be and when we reached the top, the view was more of the switch backed road, not the valley. But we did get lots of awesome valley views on both the drive up and then back down. At the top the fog was setting it and it was much colder – down to 7C! XX
We drove back down and decided not to stop at the second lake (it was not as pretty as the first nor as deep) and we made our way about 2/3 of the way back when we came upon an artesian brewery set up in a container just off the side of the road. Since Mark & Christine are huge microbrewery fans, we stopped for a pint. They had eight different beers with varying levels of alcohol, which Kevin, the bartender, explained to us in Spanish, and we all chose a draft of a different kind. Doug was the only one who was not crazy about his choice. The spot had plastic tables and chair set up and we sat and enjoyed the view of the valley under the partly cloudy sky.
We returned to "camp" and shortly afterwards KP & Taylor returned. They'd spent two nights up at Paron and decided to come back to this great camp spot before heading south. We had a nice happy hour before calling it a night.
As mentioned several times, we've been struggling with the grounding issue in Peru. Here at Guadalupe, we were reluctant to plug in the rig again but did use an extension cord running into the kitchen window to power our laptops. Doug tried a few ideas while here and he finally determined that the power must be grounded here so we ended up plugging in fully and we had no shocking episodes but at least he knows how to test to see. There were so many outlets around this compound, that one day Fran plugged in all four dehumidifiers and her toothbrush to charge them up all at once. As they each take 8-12 hours to charge up, this was super handy.
The weather here is quite comfortable, low to mid 20'sC/67-75F during the day and dipping into the mid teens at night for sleeping. As mentioned we've had some rain but no heavy stuff and although we've heard thunder, we've not had any storms that actually produce anything significant. It does seem to cloud over frequently in the afternoons but here in Caraz, we don't get much fog; guess we're not high enough.
Thursday we hung around the campsite for the day other than walks and it was a relaxing day. Christine and Mark went off to do the Canon del Pato and had a nice drive. That night we had happy hour under cover once again
We decided to all go out for dinner Friday night. Friday morning we awoke to sun and the four of us went on another day outing in Mark's truck. This time it was to about getting their propane bottle filled (failed at first two places), then a scenic drive into the Coridillera Negra to a view point that by the time we got there was totally socked in but we did hit the top of the mountain pass and saw the beginning of the Camino del Inka trail.
As we approached the city of Huaraz on the way back (also destroyed back in 1970 but not by the landslide, just the earthquake portion of the disaster – one original street remains), we stopped for gas and they had propane so Mark was able to fill the tank then as we passed through Huaraz, we stopped for groceries and then went home. The rain got harder and then let up but it was settled in for sure. And hurrah – no leaking back wall when we got "home". It was a somewhat pretty drive for the first half and we were glad to get out for the day but the rain did put a damper on things.
We spent the rest of the afternoon "indoors" until six when all six of us piled into Mark's truck and we drove into town for dinner. The place we wanted to go that looked quite nice on the square turned out to be closed down so we wandered a bit and found a pizza place in a cool looking building and had some pisco sour cocktails, beer and pizza. It was a fun dinner and the pizza was decent. (Funny note: Fran ordered a Hawaiian, as she's been known to do a few times…turns out they must have not had any pineapple as it came with peaches, pears, two grapes and a maraschino cherry – they must have used canned fruit cocktail!)
FUN STUFF: The Pisco Sour. Pisco Sour is considered the national drink of Peru. It actually even has its own holiday; the first Saturday of February is known as National Pisco Sour Day. This drink is a cocktail that originated in Lima in the early 1920's by an American bartender named Victor Vaughen Morris working at a bar in the city centre. The drink underwent a few changes in recipe until the late 1920's and has remained the ever since. The drink is made with an alcohol called "pisco" which is a clear grape brandy to which you add lime juice, syrup, ice, egg whites and Angostura bitters.
Saturday we awoke to almost clear skies and decided to stay one more day…..After breakfast we walked into the town to hit the market early to get fresh veggies and fruit and for about seven dollars we bought: a mango, three avocados, six limes, three potatoes, four carrots, two heads of lettuce, a large broccoli, an onion, four tomatoes, 17 oranges (for juice), four apples and six bananas; can't do that back home!
KP & Taylor left mid morning and we hope to meet up with them again in Cuzco later next month. In the late afternoon, a German couple arrived in a Sprinter Van; Kristof and Suzanna are heading north, so we still had six for happy hour tonight.
(need a second map here due to the number of waypoints!)
So Sunday, after nine nights at Camping Guadalupe, we packed up and left. We drove about 30km south to the town of Carhuaz where we turned eastward back into the Huascaran NP. Our route today was along the AN110 to Chacas through a wide canyon with spectacular mountain/glacier views. We calculated from looking at maps.me that we saw parts/peaks of: Huascaran Sur, Chequiaraju, Ulta, Chopicaulqui and Contrahierbas. The weather was nearly perfect, lots of blue sky but moving clouds across the mountains of course, but we were very pleased.
Here's Huascaran saying hasta luego to us in our back window:
We made it to Chacas before noon and despite being told it was a quaint colonial town, we were not impressed so we pushed on. The road here had been very good and guess we got spoiled cause in about 10km it deteriorated rapidly. Thru to San Luis and a bit beyond it was quite muddy then mostly just rocky with some potholes; we'd been on worse but since we didn't spend the night in Chacas, we wanted to make Chavin before the archeological site and museum closed for the day. It began to rain and the road was too slow to expect to make it in time.
We drove up to 4900 meets to Laguna Huanachocha which was quite pretty but there was snow up there – not our cup of tea and too high for us to sleep comfortably.
After Huari, we reached pavement but it was full of potholes and unpaved sections so that didn't help.
In Chavin de Huantar we checked with the police and parked beside their station for two nights since it was Monday tomorrow and the site and museum would be closed. This town is at 3100m so a bit colder overnight but nothing we couldn't handle. We spent Monday doing chores, route planning and the usual walks.
We've found cell service actually pretty good here. You can be in the mountains in the middle of nowhere but often if you pass through a village, you'll get reception and sometimes 4G!
Sidebar: Elections in Latin America do not require the garbage that they do in Canada/US. Here you don't see political signs on people's lawns or down the street. Here there are the odd billboards, but mostly they paint the entire side of a house, store, fence/wall.
Tuesday morning was a bit cold and after brekkie we walked the kilometre east to the Museum – it was open but they wouldn't let us in (we'd read it was free) without the ticket that must be purchased at the archeological site first! Ah Latin America…
So we walked the 2km + to the site, paid our 15 Soles and visited the site. This site is pre Incan (pre dates Machu Picchu by 2000 years!) and was inhabited by the Chavin people in the first millennium BC. They worshiped Puma anamorphic figures and these ruins were their temples and places of sacrifice and worship. Their shaman took hallucinogenic drugs and performed ceremonies in designated areas of the site. The people of Chavin diverted streams, created new waterways, experimented with light and sound, and shaped granite hard stone as they liked. The temple here was a pilgrimage site for elites of distant regions. When they reached this temple, a entirely new experience awaited them; they were would be transported into another world complete with the roaring of the water in the subterranean canals, the enchanting sound of the pututos (concha shell horns), the mysterious carved creatures and the sumptuously clad priests who seemed to appear from nowhere.
Rituals took place in the Circular Plaza every December 21st which is the day the sun rises exactly over the prominent mountain over the River Mosna (next to the site) and that moment was considered magical.
The cool thing about these ruins is that they, like many others, have tunnels in them, and this is one of the few sites we've read about/been too that allows people inside to walk them. The site is not largest we've been to by any means but that was what drew us to checking them out. It is situated alongside a river and there are canals built to allow excess rain water from the hills to drain out to the river.
We spent about an hour here and actually met an overlanding couple parked outside from Switzerland; Erica and Bert have been traveling one year longer than us and are also headed south.
After the visit we opted not to visit the museum upon returning to Tigger and hopped in the truck to carry on.
The road out was not much better than the road here, paved sections but lots of potholes and topes. We were headed west back to the PE3N but did not want to proceed to our next destination too quickly as it would mean sleeping at much higher altitude so we stopped for lunch beside a river before reaching the highway and spent a little time here reading. Before dinner time we drove out to the highway, found a gas station rest area to spend the night and it was raining pretty hard so we were happy not to have to go too far. (Oh and the back wall is still not leaking so we think that soon we an get the inside back wall replaced!)
Before entering the tunnel enroute to Catac:
Next morning, as we were at a truck stop, the trucks started early and it was cold so we were up early. It was an absolutely clear blue sky which was perfect for today's activity: driving back in Huascaran NP (for our fourth time) via the Route 790 to see some more of the park – we are amazed by the amount of things this park has to offer even to non overnight hikers like us.
Shortly after heading south on the PE3N, we saw many peaks of the Cordillera Blanca and were in awe of the beauty. Turning east along our route we saw so many more mountains, with and without snow/glaciers – all that rain we'd had the night before made things look even whiter! These glaciers were the Caullaraju peaks.
Our first stop along the road was to view this cool plant that only grows in Peru & Bolivia at elevations of 3000-4800m in the Andes. It is known as the "Queen of the Andes" called the Puya Raimondi and is a species of bromeliad. It is a very slow growing plant and begins more as an aloe looking plant and by 30 years of age, a trunk begins to appear underneath and by 40 years a stalk grows out of the top and flowers once in its lifetime. It can grow to between 7 and 15 metres.
when it blossoms
The road we're on is not bad actually, decent gravel/dirt and the scenery is breathtaking. Mururaju glacier:
The next little stop was for some petroglyphs:
We'd left the gas station this morning at 7:30 at 3600m and we drove up to almost 4900m by the time we reached out next stop of interest: the mirador of the Pastoruri Glacier. This glacier has sadly receded a great deal in recent years and the hike up to the snow line was quite a good distance of elevation so we enjoyed just viewing it from the parking area.
poster of what glacier looked like several years ago
The view that was actually more spectacular was the view looking the other way of the Nevada Huarapasca which we'd been approaching for the last little while and continued to view for a while after the parking area. This was one of the most spectacular glaciers on this route in our opinion:
We continued eastward along the 790, went through the pass and began descending into another canyon, beautiful but not much in the way of glaciers. Upon reaching the PE3N at the other end, we were looking for a spot we'd read about where there were dinosaur foot prints but the coordinates must have been inaccurate because we were right at them, and no footprints.
Doug looking for the dinosaur foot prints
The highway is now paved and it's even two lanes! However that didn't last long; the PE3N met another road which was in excellent shape but we had to veer right to La Union and the surface was not so great but there was little traffic. We picked up a couple of backpackers, Allan and Anna, he is Mexican, she German and the plan was to take them to Huanuco with us but the road condition deteriorated and it was slow going and a bit terrifying at times. It became one lane dirt most of the rest of the way and it was so sloooooow going. As we passed by the Corona del Inca
our passengers decided it was late enough (almost four o'clock) and asked to be left on in the little village there. We carried on to check out a couple of wild camping spots with no luck as neither felt safe or off the road enough. Therefore we carried on to Huanuco to park off the square by the police station for the night and got there around five; distance driven today: 245km! – a lot more than we like to do in a day and it took nearly TEN hours!

Is WeWork Opening A Giant Coworking Space in New Orleans?
by Julia Ballard • August 1, 2016 • Architecture & Design, Development, Entrepreneurship, Office, Renovation • Comments (1) • 6774
WeWork has long been rumored to be coming to the Crescent City, and they may finally be arriving.
According to permits filed with the City of New Orleans on July 20, 2016 byEskew+Dumez+Ripple, the 3rd and 4th floors of the Contemporary Arts Center (the CAC) at 900 Camp Street in the warehouse district will be transformed into a "work-sharing space."
The total space of both floors is just over 38,000 square feet. The permit describes the scope of work to include selective demolition, new partitions, new restrooms and common area spaces, and repair/replacement of the building envelope, windows and roof and new HVAC, lighting and electrical.
So which shared workspace is moving in? The plans filed with the city dub the space "The Shop," but is that just a placeholder name or is it in fact a new coworking space?

Contemporary Arts Center CEO Neil Barclay told Silicon Bayou News that "over the last 17 years, the CAC has vetted a number of possible developments for its third and fourth floors," and that they have been searching for the right partner that aligns with their mission and with the presentation of the artistic programming.
Barclay confirmed that the CAC is currently vetting a possible development that would address this goal, yet negotiations are still ongoing because no deal has been authorized by their Board of Trustees. Barclay says they are co-developing the space in partnership with an unnamed private developer. "I think it is safe to say that the parties are cautiously optimistic that a deal will ultimately be realized," Barclay revealed.
A source told Silicon Bayou News that New York-based WeWork is the group that will move in to the CAC space if a deal can be realized. WeWork communications director Dominic McMullan told Silicon Bayou News that they do not have any paperwork signed yet for New Orleans, and that they don't comment on future plans.
WeWork is a global network of collaborative workspaces for startups, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. With over 50,000 members in 111 locations across 30 cities, WeWork is one of the most comprehensive coworking networks in the world.
Each WeWork space, from Portland to Paris, includes fast Internet, free beer on tap, business-class printers, unique common areas, private booths for phone calls, on-site community managers, cleaning service, and free coffee, tea, and fruit water. Coworking starts at $220 per month, dedicated desks start at $325 per month, and private offices go for $450 per month and up.
There are a number of successful coworking spaces already in New Orleans, from established players like Launch Pad, Propeller, and Beta, to newer spaces like The Warehouse and The Blue House.
According to the plans filed with the city, Palmisano Group is the general contractor, and Eskew+Dumez+Ripple is the architect.
Check back for more details about the development on Silicon Bayou News. You can find out the plans for the space filed with the city below.

Today we will talk about how you can get a residence permit in Ukraine for citizens of Abkhazia. In everyone's life there may be certain circumstances that will require registration of citizenship in the territory of another state. And if it touches or has touched you, it would be very interesting how to do it, how long such a procedure will take and where it is necessary in this case to apply.
the office of the Federal migration service of Ukraine (FMS) deals with issues related to granting citizenship on the territory of Ukraine to both Abkhazian and other nationalities. All the necessary information you can get directly there, or on the official website of the migration service.
The first step is to argue your application for citizenship. The list of similar reasons is very wide. Here are some of them.
Training on the territory of Ukraine.
Involvement in the work of the media.
Contract Work when an employee has received an invitation from the Ukrainian side.
In General, such arguments can be of a whole lot.
after you have managed to justify your application for citizenship, we proceed to the longest and tedious procedure, the collection of documents.
The Main list of documents.
Valid passport and photocopy of the citizen.
The obligatory medical insurance Policy.
Certificate that no criminal record or outstanding legal charges.a more accurate list can be found at the address. Depending on the reason for obtaining citizenship, this list may have some changes.
Now that all the documents have been submitted and the whole procedure of registration seems to be behind us, we can only expect the Commission's decision. Applications of this kind are usually considered within 14-15 working days. For a number of objective reasons, these deadlines can increase significantly.
But it is not always the case that such applications are considered in favour of the applicant. Such failures occur quite often.
The failure can be Caused.
Existence of convictions and encumbrances.
Unconvincing grounds for obtaining citizenship and many others.
In such a case, to obtain a residence permit in Ukraine citizens of Abkhazia will have to go through the whole procedure again.


I received a press release for the new iOS app called Sidekick Cycle. The game is not only fun and exciting but it is all part of a major social change initiative. I personally bought a copy of the all because for every 387 downloads of the game a bicycle will be purchased for a child in an impoverished community.
I've been playing the game and have found it pretty addicting and fun. You are a guy on a bike tearing through the African landscape. On your bike you may have a little rhino, cheetah or monkey and for some reason a Koala (not found in Africa). These are your sidekicks. These little guys help you as you ride. Maybe you need help grabbing coins, busting through rocks or even getting a second chance after a crash. The sidekicks can help you as you ride, jump and flip your way across the Savannah.
As you play you earn coins so that you can upgrade your bike, rider look and your sidekick. You can also spend money and buy upgrades. This is something I've seen in many games but not something that also counts towards social good. Buying upgrades helps to contribute to the purchase of more bikes.
Minneapolis, MN –September 18, 2013– And they're off! Sidekick Cycle, the inaugural mobile game from Global Gaming Initiative, is now available for download on iOS platforms. The title marks the beginning of GGI's mission to build gaming experiences that connect digital-world customers to real-world causes. For every 387 downloads of Sidekick Cycle, GGI purchases one bicycle for a child in an impoverished community.
Sidekick Cycle is a one-touch downhill biking game where the player blazes a trail to victory on over 30 tracks in Africa and North America. Skills and bravery are needed to endure hazardous terrain while pulling off gravity-defying tricks and delivering bikes to kids in need. Bikes can be customized with an assortment of helpful Sidekick companion animals, each of which offers its own distinct ability, allowing users to customize their tactics by combining different powers for extraordinary results. Players can also personalize their avatars and rides.
This is more than an addictive game, it is a vehicle to make a positive impact in the world. By purchasing Sidekick Cycle, players contribute: Global Gaming Initiative takes 50% of the proceeds from sales of the game and donates them to World Bicycle Relief, a non-profit group that has given over 120,000 locally assembled bikes to students, disaster victims and healthcare workers in Africa since 2005. The title also aims to raise awareness of the fact that bikes can make sure a kid attends school every day, as well as provide daily healthy activity. Global Gaming Initiative's mission is to connect communities all over the world to make a difference.
Developed by It Matters Games in Berlin, Germany, Sidekick Cycle is now available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch through the App Store for $0.99. It is a universal app that is GameCenter enabled. An Android version is coming this fall. For more information, please visit http://sidekickcycle.com or get updates at www.facebook.com/sidekickcycle.
Global Gaming Initiative uses mobile gaming as a vehicle to connect people with causes that stimulate upward mobility in the developing world. It creates fun and engaging titles that incentivize charitable micro giving and raise awareness of economic and social issues. They offer an innovative, inclusive opportunity to impact collective change worldwide. Its first game, Sidekick Cycle, an adventurous downhill bicycle racing title benefits World Bicycle Relief, a nonprofit group which provides rugged, locally assembled, specialty bikes to disaster victims, students, entrepreneurs and healthcare workers across Africa. Global Gaming Initiative is a for-profit company and privately funded. For more information visit http://globalgaminginitiative.com.
