BIONET is the right partner to deliver the bioreactor you need for the successful industrial scale-up of your cell culture or fermentation processes.
When leaving the lab and designing your industrial solutions numerous challenges have to be solved. These can be about mass transfer, heat exchange, space limitations, budget, regulatory or many others. The fermenter or bioreactor are the core of this scale up project.
If what you need is a fully customized bioreactor, beyond the standard features, or bigger volumes than 200 see more.
At BIONET we have designed and constructed numerous customized industrial bioreactors which are successful delivering to our customers. These have been for very different applications (mAbs, Vaccines, Enzymes, Probiotics, Bioplastics, etc) with working volumes from 30 to 30,000 litres.
Projects that have been from very standard to completely special units (including continuous or perfusion solutions), but always technologically sound and adapted to the specific needs of the project and the customer needs.
Our scope will include not only the bioreactor itself but also auxiliary systems (media preparation, sterile dosing, CIPs) that have to be integrated for a successful qualification and operation.
BIONET bioreactors and fermenters can be delivered fully automated based on our Industrial Bioprocess Automation solutions. We consider automation as an integral part of QbD and has to be developed in parallel to process, mechanical and electrical design for a system that delivers and can be qualified.
All our bioprocess skids can be delivered fully compliant with GMP-GAMP5 guidelines including DQ, IQ, OQ preparation and execution.

Fox Host Complains That NYPD Officers Have To Justify Their Stop-And-Frisks
Written by Rachel Calvert
Fox's Tucker Carlson declared that a new mandate requiring New York City police officers to provide written justification for stop-and-frisk encounters is "an attack on police practices that have worked."
NYPD officers will soon be "required to inform some suspects why they're being stopped and frisked" after a federal judge approved a mandate proposed by the federal monitor tasked with addressing the department's stop-and-frisk tactics. "The form would explain that officers are authorized to make stops in some circumstances and spell out what might have prompted the stop, including suspicion of concealing or possessing a weapon, engaging in a drug transaction or acting as a lookout," The Wall Street Journal explained, noting how the move comes after a federal judge found "the NYPD's use of stop-and-frisk unconstitutional and ordered an overhaul of the department's procedures."
Although conservative media have consistently claimed that stop-and-frisk reduces crime, there is little evidence to support the assertion. In a 12-year report on the subject released by the New York Civil Liberties Union in 2014, the policing tactic was found to be largely ineffective at reducing violent crime.
Nevertheless, network host Tucker Carlson rushed to defend the program on the August 28 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends. Carlson criticized the NYPD's move to issue a receipt after stops that did not result in arrest, claiming that it was "an attack on police practices that have worked" :
Tucker Carlson says rising housing costs are "100 percent an immigration problem"
Tucker Carlson's weeklong smear of the homeless amounted to little more than hateful "broken windows" propaganda
Article 01/13/20 7:59 PM EST
Tucker Carlson: "Illegal immigrants are tethering themselves here with millions of anchor babies"

Programs funded in the 2017 to 2019 cycle
Beaverton School District: Safe Routes to School Program (Amount awarded: $75,000)
Nearly all Beaverton School District students live close enough to their school to walk or bike, or are offered bus service. This project highlights the active transportation needs in the areas where families can, but choose not to walk, bike or use the bus service provided due to existing infrastructure and non-infrastructure based barriers. The project will identify the best routes, prioritize infrastructure needs and the community will be educated and encouraged to walk, bike and bus to school safely while understanding the importance of respecting all road users. The program will result in more people knowing they have options available to get to school and throughout the community and use alternatives to single passenger trips more often. Beaverton School District will continue to collaborate with the Safe Routes to School National Partnership on their region-wide planning project to create a Regional Safe Routes to School Framework, and will use data and prioritization of schools most in need, to support their SRTS efforts in their own school communities.
Bicycle Transportation Alliance: Access to Bicycling: Bike More Challenge, Women Bike, and Community Partnerships ($203,461)
The goal of Bicycle Transportation Alliance's Access to Bicycling Initiative is to make bicycling an option for the region's residents no matter their neighborhood, workplace or employment status, gender, race, or cultural background. In order to reduce barriers and promote benefits for residents, the Access to Bicycling initiative will provide close to 100 clinics on site at workplaces and community spaces across the region that teach rules of the road, route-planning, how to conduct a basic bike safety check, and strategies for enjoying a safe and comfortable commute. BTA staff will lead more than forty rides across the region with bikes for those that need them and introduce people to their neighborhood biking infrastructure and route planning specific to their neighborhood destinations. These rides introduce participants to bike maps, online planning tools, bike share, multi-use paths, neighborhood greenways, bike lanes, and key network connections. BTA will continue work on the Women Bike Roll Model program links experienced bikers with other women in their neighborhoods and social networks, so women new to bicycling can benefit from friendly guidance from trusted peers. Similarly, each year's Bike More Challenge engenders new workplace champions that exponentially multiply by bringing bike maps, bagels, bike parking, trophies, homemade cookies, route planning assistance, bike pumps, free bike maintenance help, door to door ride-alongs, and enthusiastic advice to tentative coworkers new to biking for transportation or previously intimidated at the thought of biking to work.
Clackamas Community College: Expanding Access to Education ($130,000)
Clackamas Community College is continuing their efforts across their three locations to decrease the number of students and faculty driving alone to campuses. CCC will increase awareness of their Xpress shuttle service through a marketing campaign. Additionally, CCC will continue to manage a discounted TriMet pass program, and the carpool incentive program and online carpooling matching service DriveLessConnect.com.
Working to increase the number of people biking to campus, the college will implement a study to identify student barriers to biking, which will be used to launch a bike program pilot and ultimately develop a plan to initiate a permanent bike program. Lastly, making it easier for student and staff to navigate on campus by foot and bike, CCC will oversee the development and implementation of a wayfinding system to increase student awareness of walking and biking routes to key destinations including CCC buildings, transit stops, and employment centers.
Clackamas County: Active Transportation Counting Devices ($15,909)
Collecting accurate data is essential to building long-term support for walking and cycling, and improving the conditions for those who choose travel options. Clackamas County will purchase and install two fixed-location devices and one mobile active transportation counting devices that measure frequency, direction of travel and time of day of bicyclists and pedestrians in urban, unincorporated Clackamas County. Following installation, the County will prepare a reporting system for easy input of data downloaded from each device. Staff will prepare annual count data reports for departmental use as well as viewing on the county's active transportation webpage. This project will allow Clackamas County to understand the needs in the community and prioritize where to invest more resources and increase the public's use of travel options.
Community Cycling Center: Community Centered Safe Routes to School ($178,080)
The Community Cycling Center is focused on transportation equity as a vehicle for change, is poised to remove barriers between youth and their ability to access education. Through the Community Centered Safe Routes to School project youth and families at Title I schools will have greater access to healthy, reliable, and fun transportation to and from school, work, and around their neighborhoods. A key component of the project is the deployment of youth and adult bicycles from CCC's Community Bicycle Library to deliver in-school bicycle programming for every family that identifies it as need.
This Community-Based SRTS program will increase the safety and usage of existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as identify priority locations for future safety improvements through outreach to families and stakeholders, a student transportation options and barriers assessment, events
and increased information and resources about walking, biking and transit in their community.
Explore Washington Park: Washington Park Travel Options Initiative Phase I ($149,200)
TriMet's Red and Blue MAX lines stop at Washington Park between downtown Portland and Beaverton, yet currently only approximately 16 percent of park visitors travel via transit. This project will
leverage existing investment in the MAX light rail and regional park-and-ride facilities such as Sunset Transit Center, by promoting transit to the 53,800 households that make up between 27-32 percent of annual Washington Park visits. Other investments within the Park will include intra-park shuttles, improved transit stops in the park, and customer service staff to guide people around the park via transit. The project complements TriMet's plan for a major renovation of the Washington Park MAX station after almost 20 years of operation, to be completed in the spring of 2017.
Hillsboro Parks and Recreation: Rock Creek Trail Counters ($4,760)
Hillsboro Parks & Recreation will install eight trail counters at all the accesses of the Rock Creek Regional Trail to complement two previously installed counters at Cornell Crossing. One of the greatest challenges facing bicycle and pedestrian professionals and advocates is the lack of documentation on usage and demand of infrastructure. Without accurate and consistent data, it is difficult to measure the positive benefits of investments in these modes, especially when compared to the other transportation modes such as the private automobile. The additional counters will supplement the data collection already underway, and provide a more detailed view of the overall use of this portion of the regional system, helping to better understand the accesses dynamics, improve maintenance, amenities, infrastructure, lighting and user safety.
Hillsboro Parks and Recreation: Rock Creek Trail Access Video ($3,000)
Hillsboro Parks and Recreation will create an overview video for the Rock Creek Trail that will inform people of different abilities, interests and backgrounds about the activities, facilities and challenges expected along the trail. The video will help provide context and reveal possible challenges and experiences for various groups, and be a tool for groups to gain confidence to utilize the trail.
City of Milwaukie: Downtown Milwaukie Wayfinding ($15,000)
As the first phase of Milwaukie's Wayfinding Systems Plan, the City of Milwaukie will install a total of six vehicular directional signs, eight pedestrian directional signs and one pedestrian kiosk in and around the downtown area. In addition to directing people in a safe and efficient way, good wayfinding has the ability to add to a sense of place and tie a community together. With the recent opening of the Main Street Station of the Orange Line and redevelopment of Riverfront Park along the Willamette River,
Downtown Milwaukie has attracted regional attention and is making Downtown Milwaukie increasingly popular to visitors, businesses, and residents alike. A wayfinding system will better connect the existing Downtown Milwaukie assets such as businesses, parks, public parking, and other attractions and destinations.
Multnomah County: East Multnomah County Regional Safe Routes to School Program ($200,000)
The East Multnomah County Safe Routes to School Program, led by Multnomah County, seeks to establish the framework and foundation to improve active transportation choices for kids to get to and from school in East Multnomah County, with a focus on kids and their families who attend public school in the cities of Fairview, Wood Village, Troutdale and Gresham. The project will enable a coordinated approach that will increase success of current program and give resources beyond what local agencies have been able to provide thus far. The project will track a newly developed safe walking and bicycling curriculum for grades K-2 in the Reynolds School District through a full-time limited duration Safe Routes to School Coordinator position for two years through Multnomah County. The Coordinator will develop an annual Safe Routes to School work plan in coordination with partner agency staff, including prioritizing schools to focus Safe Routes to School investments on and conducting culturally-specific community outreach methods for encouragement events and provide ongoing support for schools in the area to implement Safe Routes to School programming. Unique to the program is up to three Open Streets Demonstration Projects on school routes in East Multnomah County.
Oregon Walks: Oregon Walkways: Reducing barriers and access to Open Streets ($99,208)
Oregon Walks will lead this project to galvanize community support around new funding for pedestrian safety infrastructure improvements in East Portland through Portland's new Fixing our Streets program and Vision Zero program. East Portland sees the most fatal crashes per capita and is home to the city's most dangerous corridors, as well as having some of the poorest connectivity of the pedestrian network. However, thanks to new programs East Portland residents will see an influx of resources dedicated to making their streets safer. Oregon Walkways events will serve as an opportunity for residents to experience what a safe and connected community can look like, by creating conditions on our streets that allow people to feel comfortable using them for walking. Oregon Walks will engage community to create the routes for the events with an eye toward identifying areas of need that can help the City of Portland in how they prioritize projects, as well as highlighting areas that are already slated to see improvements, such as the Gateway Business District and Jade District. The project will fill a necessary gap in how the public learns about, engages with, and provides feedback on infrastructure aimed at making them feel safer and thus, more comfortable walking, biking, and accessing transit.
City of Portland: SmartTrips, Smart City ($600,482)
SmartTrips, Smart City is focused on connecting residents and commuters to the region's active transportation network through a multi-step approach that increases awareness, changes attitudes, offers experiential opportunities, and combines active transportation to keystone community events and projects. Whether residents and others in the region come to a community celebration, receive a SmartTrips order form in the mail, or read about a community walk in their neighborhood newsletter, this project engages people at their point of interest and provide multiple additional opportunities to connect with the active transportation network. The project's lasting impact comes from the power of community engagement partnered with technology and marketing. This project synchronizes PBOT's extensive work in active transportation with community partnerships to connect with underserved communities across Portland. By focusing on key community events that attract people from all over the region and online tools and marketing that transcend physical boundaries, the project benefits the entire region.
SmartTrips, Smart City targets new and relocating Portland residents and low-income and senior populations. Additionally, the project focuses on four culturally and linguistically diverse communities with lower median income levels than the rest of the city. Specifically, the project will reach 70,000 new and relocating residents and reach an additional 20,000 Portlanders in the Lents neighborhood, the Jade District, New Columbia, the Cully neighborhood, and older adult communities of Portland.
Portland Community College: Expanding Commuting Options through Individualized Marketing and Bike Rental Development ($191,000)
A new Transportation Specialist will plan for the expansion of PCC's bicycle rental program to westside campuses, where the bicycle infrastructure is not as robust, pointing students and staff to existing resources, distributing maps, safety tips, and practical information such as how to load a bicycle onto a TriMet bicycle rack. Staff will reach out to both PCC faculty and staff to craft individualized transportation plans, with an emphasis on those who are new to the college. Additionally, the bicycle rental program at Cascade Campus will partner with Legacy Emanuel Trauma Nurses to provide low-cost helmets to students, as well as operating a helmet exchange program where students can exchange damaged helmets for new ones at no cost. Grant funds will also create 24 secure bike parking spaces (either lockers or a cage) to be utilized by commuters and bike program participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, grant funds will pay for secure storage for a fleet of 48 rental bicycles at PCC's Cascade campus.
Ride Connection: RideWise Urban Mobility Support and Training ($239,440)
Ride Connection provides one-on-one travel training services to older adults and people with disabilities traveling for work-related purposes. Travel training is an individualized course of instruction designed to teach older adults and people with disabilities to safely and independently use public transportation. Training includes interviews, barrier analysis, instructional plans and goal setting, field training and post-training follow-up evaluations. Through RideWise, Ride Connection also provides classroom trainings to assist low-income individuals in accessing fixed route transportation services and other travel options as an alternative to driving alone.
South Waterfront Community Relations: South Waterfront Wayfinding ($13,640)
This project will place 20 bicycle wayfinding signs in the South Waterfront district. Currently there are no wayfinding signs in the district. With new walking and biking infrastructure (Moody separated bicycle lanes, Tilikum Crossing, Hooley Pedestrian Bridge, and in-street bike lanes), simple bike wayfinding signs displaying distance and time to key destinations will help current and would-be riders to understand bicycle accessibility to and from the South Waterfront. The signs will be strategically placed at intersections throughout the district , with the southernmost signs encouraging riders to venture to Willamette Park along the rail trail, and the northernmost sign displaying information to ride to Downtown and the Pearl District. Additional signs will direct travelers to the Hooley Bridge, Lair Hill access, and the Tilikum Crossing and access to the Central Eastside.
City of Tigard/Tigard-Tualatin School District: Safe Routes to School ($186,000)
Tigard is not unusual in having schools near arterials and collectors that are difficult to cross, and local streets around schools with inadequate sidewalks, signage, pedestrian and bicycle safety devices, or bike parking. Continuing the school district's Safe Routes to School program builds on work accomplished over the past two years and continues their commitment to providing families safe options to get to school. This project will fund a full-time Safe Routes to School coordinator position in Tigard. The coordinator will be the hub of citywide and Tigard-Tualatin School District efforts to promote walking and bicycling for school and other trips. By working directly with individual schools, Tigard SRTS will reinforce the city's commitment to being "the most walkable community in the Pacific Northwest, where people of all ages and abilities enjoy healthy and interconnected lives."
Westside Transportation Alliance: Increasing Transportation Options in Washington County ($196,000)
The Westside Transportation Alliance is the only transportation management association in Washington County, providing services to member businesses to help their employees reduce their rate of single-occupant vehicle travel. WTA will continue to work with employers to increase awareness of
travel options, advocate for transportation options through our involvement in both local and regional planning processes. In addition to the need currently met by WTA services, unmet needs have been identified for parts of the county with higher percentages of low-wage and shift workers, in addition to small employers. By expanding their limited staff, WTA will be able to fulfill those needs through this project.

Vicky Hastrup, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, CEO, ENL consortium, in this interview with Oluyinka Onigbinde speaks on the challenges in the nation's ports system and proffers possible solutions.
Going forward, what do you think should be done for the maritime industry to move forward?
For the maritime industry to move forward, the Federal government needs to quickly pass the Port and Harbor Bills.
The passage of the Port and Harbor Bills has been delayed for too long. It's been twelve years since the terminal operators have been operating in various ports in Nigeria and yet these bills are still waiting to be passed.
I don't know at what state it is now but I think it is getting rather too late. I believe before the end of the term of this government, it would be nice if passage of the bill is concluded and is passed and assented to by the President.
Besides the passage of the bill which has to do with the legislature, what are the other bottlenecks?
The government is talking about Ease of doing Business. There can't be ease if government does not make a decisive move.
They need to take some stands on issues relating to what are the things constituting bottlenecks to ease of doing business.
Why do we have ease of doing business? I know the vice president has been doing a lot of work on that, but there has to be a proper follow up in all of these areas that has been identified.
For instance, we have too many agencies of ports operating within the port system and I don't understand what they are up to till this moment.
But I know that the Vice President was talking about making the port a one stop shop, but it can't be a one stop shop when we have people who are not supposed to be operating within the system are still constituting a whole lot of bottlenecks and delays.
Another thing I will keep talking about is the Customs service. When cargo is released from the port, you will still find them in the outer gate.
These are not good for a country that is very serious. I see a lot of frustrations by all port users, you could see what access to port look like now which I think is a national disgrace, a national shame which ought not to be.
I am not blaming this government because previous governments have left access to the Port in the comatose state it is presently. The Port environment is too congested.
We have lot of tank farms. As of now, we can count as many as over 60 tank farms.
And I keep saying it, if a Tank farm is blown up, the whole of Apapa will cease to exist if government does not do something about it.
The Port environment is rather too congested there is no ease of doing business in Nigeria particularly in Apapa and Tin Can Island.
It is very frustrating for all Port operators and users. Government needs to come through for this. They need to be decisive and remove a lot of agencies that should not be in the port if we want to create an enabling environment which I see now that we do not have at all.
There has to be transparency. There has to be decisive actions on the part of government to bring everybody to book to make people comply with how business should be done.
Speaking of the congestion in Apapa and the traffic situation what would you suggest is the way forward?
Traffic situation is simple. The roads need to be fixed. I understand that a contract for the construction of Tin-Can Island-Oshodi road has been awarded but I tell you that's going to take quite a while.
I don't see an immediate solution for now. Apapa is being fixed now, even when the Apapa road is completed, the bridge is also something to be looked at by the Federal Ministry of works.
We don't know how long that will take. So, I see this as a long term goal but more than that I tell you what caused this are the congestions of the access roads.
Actually, cargo's import to Nigeria has reduced by about 25 per cent.
In 2011-2012, we were actually handling more cargo than we are now and there wasn't any problem. So, we are talking about dropping empty containers in holding bays that need to be properly looked into. It needs to be enforced. There are no two ways to it.
Trucks that do not have a call up system to either come and pick cargo or drop containers should not be on the road. There are too many of them in the Port road. Everybody needs to comply. Shipping companies need to comply and be compliant about NPA asking them to drop empty containers at the holding bays. All these need to be adhered to.
We do it in my terminal and every terminal operator needs to comply as well.
On the issue of port charges, it has been established that lack of political will on the part of government is likely responsible for all of this. So, what should be the way forward?
Like I said earlier, government needs to be decisive. Maybe there has to be a special committee that has to look into all the areas that are responsible for increase in costs. I said it's not just terminal operators; they are just like 5 per cent of the problem. It's not terminal operator. Everybody operating within the port system is responsible. We need to be holistic in looking at what everybody including the government agencies that is not supposed to be there.
How much are they charging? How much is NIMASA charging? How much is NPA charging? How much is shipping agency charging? How much are transporters charging? All of these add to the cost and I tell you the congestions also is a big part of the increase in cost.
Until all these issues are attended to, I tell you the cost of doing business in Nigerian port will continue to be high.
Don't you think government should consider other means of transportation?
It's very important. I am happy government is looking into the issue of transporting cargoes from the port through the rail system.
There are actually three ways of transporting cargoes we have the water, rail and road. What we've been using from time immemorial is the road but how much of weight can the road carry, the bridge is almost collapsing.
Now, you could see the bridge turned out to be parking space for trailers. Were those bridges built to withstand that much weight?
Alternative ways of transporting cargos is being looked at by the government and I want the government to be serious in addressing that.

After twelve years Governor Holiday's tenure comes to an end
12 years in officeGovernor Eugene B. Holidayreviewspeechestenure
PHILIPSBURG — On October 10, the second 6-year term of Governor Eugene B. (the B stands for Bernard) Holiday comes to an end. During the past twelve years the Governor has functioned as the unflappable representative of the crown, the guardian of the Constitution and a supporter of youth sports development, notably through the Governor's table tennis cup.
On October 10, St. Maarten will have a new governor. Who that will be is anybody's guess. The names of several candidates are already circulating. Among them is attorney Jason Rogers, the former chairman of the Central Voting Bureau. Stepping into the shoes of Governor Holiday will be a daunting challenge for whoever his successor will be.
The website of the Governor's cabinet lists the text of around 160 speeches the governor gave during his tenure. There are Christmas messages, New Year's addresses, speeches at the opening of the parliamentary year, swearing in new governments and everything in between.
Reading through those speeches, especially the ones that address the parliament at the beginning of a new parliamentary year show the governor's rock-steady belief in St. Maarten's creed: Semper Pro Grediens – Always Progressing. "That is based on the belief that if we work together as individuals, business, labor unions and government we can make each year better for our people and country," Holiday said during his final New Year's address on January 1 of this year.
As the representative of the crown, the governor is the formal head of St. Maarten's government though he does not play an active part in the day to day business of politics. That has however never stopped him from giving strong hints about the way things ought to be done by the fifteen elected parliamentarians and the Council of Ministers.
On September 1, 2010, when Holiday accepted the position of governor, he expressed his confidence in St. Maarten's future with the following statement: "In the spirit of the people of St. Maarten and in the tradition of the Kingdom, I am hopeful and confident that with the help of God we will continue to take St. Maarten forward, building a strong, stable, responsible and just society."
The challenges ahead of us are immense, Holiday said later that year in his acceptance speech, thus referring to all the institutions the young country had to establish. He also pointed to something that has remained a sore point for the past decade: "We will have to improve our financial management and strengthen our judicial organizations."
But in the face of these challenges, the governor also labeled St. Maarten's new constitutional status as a great opportunity. "Effective today we, like no generation before us, have the opportunity and constitutional authority to shape the socio-economic, cultural and environmental construct of our beloved island. How we address this challenge and approach this opportunity will determine our success in the discharge of our responsibilities."
Truer words were never spoken.
In his second New Year's address, on January 6, 2012, the governor recommended "initiatives such as the institution of a law faculty at our institute of higher learning, the establishment of a St. Maarten philharmonic orchestra and a center for the performing arts."
A year later the governor called for the elimination of poverty, the protection of the environment and a united front against crime and corruption.
On June 14, 2013, when the governor addressed already the third incoming government in less than three years, Holiday spoke of the creation of "a constitutional order based on an open an approachable government. (….) Anything else will go against the interest of the people of St. Maarten."
In his New Year's address on January10, 2014, the governor expressed his concern about the developments in 2013: "They tell a story of political discord and budgetary imbalances that is not conducive to the sustainable development of our people. They tell a story of conflict, integrity investigations and divisiveness as opposed to one of unity, opportunities and potentials fulfilled." Holiday furthermore observed that "it seems that too often public and private policies are driven by politics and factors other than those that are in the interest of the people."
At the opening of the parliamentary year in 2014, the governor spoke about research into the feasibility and design of a compulsory pension plan, while legislation about study financing and higher education were "high on the government's agenda and in their final stages."
It is good to note that the contents of the governor's speeches at the opening of the parliamentary year reflect the intentions of the government that is in office at the time. The same is true for the King's speech at the opening of the parliamentary years in the Netherlands.
In the late sixties of last century the iconic comedian Wim Kan made fun of Prime Minister Piet de Jong at such an occasion: "Little thumb listening to his own fairy tale." Thus establishing that: 1. De Jong was not exactly tall (on the contrary) and 2. that De Jong was the author of the King's speech.
The governor depends in the same sense on the input of the government for the contents of his speech. While year after year the intentions of successive governments turned indeed out to be no more than fairy tales, the governor has little choice but to follow the lead of whatever a government feeds him.
This is how promises of a tourism authority, a competition and consumer authority and an agency responsible for licensing and controlling gaming operations came into being. Promises they were, and promises they remained.
On December 10, 2014, the governor delivered a speech at the swearing in of yet another cabinet. He referred in it to the cooling relationship between Philipsburg and The Hague "with a lively debate concerning the position of the governor."
That worried the governor: "This debate which questions the integrity of government is cause for concern. It is a matter that concerns all St. Maarteners, for it is a matter that clouds good and positive aspects of our people and threatens our further development."
The governor's speeches over the years have a few things in common: Holiday's unrelenting call for integrity, building public trust and shifting focus from what is legal to what is good for the country's citizens.
Sadly, successive governments and parliaments have turned a deaf ear to suggestions to do better. The string of parliamentarians who fell foul of the law and the constant bickering between the government in Philipsburg and the Kingdom government make that abundantly clear.
One more example: in September 2016, the governor said at the opening of the parliamentary year that the government had "placed the regulation of the legal position of police officers and national detectives high on its agenda with the objective of placing the officers in their respective positions before the end of the year."
It sounded good but, like many other promises, they never became a reality within the given timeframe.
In September 2021, the governor's speech at the opening of the parliamentary year offered a candid insight in the way the current government wants to get out of the economic slump caused by Hurricane Irma and the COVID-19 pandemic. The government will focus on making the labor market more flexible, the governor said, but how this is going to happen remains unclear. The economy will remain firmly focused on tourism: "The government believes that culture can be a vehicle in the diversification of the tourism product."
It appears furthermore that, for lack of better ideas, the focus will also be on attracting more tourists. "Attracting tourists remains the cornerstone of the government's economic recovery plan."

Pine needle oil has become one of the most used essential oils in aromatherapy; It is combined with other oils including cedar wood, rosemary, sage, labdanum, and juniper, and therefore, can be widely used in the manufacture of preparations for many uses, and for humans it is one of the safest essential oils, although some people are sensitive and may suffer from mild respiratory irritation when inhaling when exaggerated with the aromas. Pine needle oil is an essential oil extracted through a distillation process of pine needles; the composition of the oil can vary depending on the age of the pine and the species (usually Pinus).

Archbishops' Coffins Found
By John Martin
The St. Mary-at-Lambeth Garden Museum, standing beside the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, has yielded a long-forgotten burial vault containing coffins of five archbishops.
When workers restoring the medieval building lifted a stone slab, they found a large space below. Searching the void with a smartphone attached to a stick, they found 30 lead coffins, including a stack of six with a red and gold miter on top, glowing in the dark. The coffins for Richard Bancroft (archbishop in 1604-10) and John Moore (1783-1805) had nameplates. The coffin of Moore's wife, Catherine, was among the six.
A later search of records showed that at least three other archbishops are buried in the vault: Frederick Cornwallis (1768-83), Matthew Hutton (1757-58), and Thomas Tenison (1695-1715). Church leaders had thought the former church had no crypt because it was so close to the River Thames.
Thanks to a £7.5 million (US$9.4 million) restoration project, visitors will see the coffins through a glass panel in the chancel floor.
During Bancroft's tenure, a group of 54 scholars edited the Authorized (or King James) Version (1611).
"This is really astonishing. This is one of the most incredible things I've seen," said Wesley Kerr, a former chairman of the Heritage Lottery Fund. "To know that possibly the person that commissioned the King James Bible is buried here is the most incredible discovery and greatly adds to the texture of this project."
The first St. Mary's was a wooden structure dating from Norman times. It was for many years the parish church of Lambeth, and its vicars were often on the archbishop's staff. The gates of Lambeth Palace are just a few yards away. The current building was made redundant in 1972. When church leaders learned that naturalist John Tradescant the elder was buried in the church in 1638, they designated a garden museum at St. Mary's in his honor.
Hundreds of people are buried on the site, and many coffins were removed during the Victorian era. The internal organs of Archbishop Thomas Secker (1693-1768) are buried in an urn in the churchyard.
Another famous person buried in the churchyard is William Bligh, the autocratic sea captain depicted in Mutiny on the Bounty.

Here are some easy steps to help you find a job.
Now that you have arrived in America--"The Land of Opportunity"--it is time to take advantage of the limitless avenues for success this country offers its residents. The following contains information on politely and professionally pursuing employment.
The first step to getting a job in the United States is discovering who you are what and what you can offer to employers. Ask yourself these things.
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
What skills do I have that set me apart from other people?
Why do I want a job?
What kind of job do I want?
Use your answers to begin to create a profile of yourself.
You should be prepared to answer any of these questions, as they may be asked in an interview.
Now it's time to write your resume. This is perhaps the most important step of the process. You want to make sure that you represent yourself accurately by effectively highlighting your best skills for the employer.
*Resume templates are available online and within Microsoft Word.
Resumes for jobs in the United States are different than the resume you might have used in your home country. Extra information can potentially harm your chances of getting the job.
Be brief but thorough. Your employer is not going to want to read through numerous pages of information. Include all of the details you need but try to keep it to about one page.
CAUTION: Do not lie about yourself on your resume! Do not make up previous jobs or accomplishments. Employers will research your background before they hire you and will ask you about specific parts of your resume in the interview. Even if you have no previous work experience, it's okay! Employers would much rather you tell them about your inexperience than have you lie to them. Employers will not want to hire a dishonest person. Always tell the truth.
Available jobs are listed in multiple outlets. You can find available jobs through newspapers, the Internet, employment centers, job banks, networking, or through job fairs.
This is the Atlanta-Journal Constitution's website for job-hunting. It is a great resource for local employment opportunities and easy to use. Search ajcjobs.com.
This is the Georgia Department of Labor's website for job seekers. It provides multiple job search engines and other career resources which may help you narrow down your search. The Georgia Department of Labor also operates local career centers. The career center located closest to Clarkston is the Dekalb County Career Center. At this location you can make an appointment to go in and talk with a career specialist who, free of charge, will advise you and help get you started on the right track towards your new career.
Now that you have researched several job opportunities you want to pursue, you need to contact the employer and set up an interview. Typically, employers will want to see your resume before they interview you and may ask that you submit it either via email, fax, or standard mail. If your resume interests them they may contact you to set up either an interview either over the phone or in person. It is best to rearrange your schedule to fit the interview times suitable for the employer as it will demonstrate your dedication as a job seeker.
Always thank the person you have spoken with.
In American society, first impressions are very important. Your appearance conveys your level of professionalism and seriousness; therefore you must dress appropriately. Even if the job you are pursuing is one in construction or another industry where everyday dress is casual, it never hurts to appear more dressy than necessary. Your employer will see that you are a responsible individual who cares about the way he or she presents himself in public.
Always be on time. American society is strictly structured according to the timetable. Being prompt not only shows that you are responsible but also that you are serious about wanting the job. Never walk into an interview cold! Always have a small speech prepared and know the name of the person you will be speaking with. It also is a good idea to do some background research about the job or company beforehand. You want to appear to your employer as someone who cares about his or her company and truly wants the job you are seeking.
Start off with a nice, firm handshake. In American society, this is the formal way of greeting someone you do not know regardless of gender. Be sure to always look the person you are speaking with in the eye. This also shows the person that you are an attentive listener and engaged speaker. If you do not look in their eyes or look down continuously during the interview, they may think that you are not trustworthy.
Practice the interview with someone familiar beforehand such as a family member or friend so that you will not be nervous when it comes time for the real thing. Think of possible questions your interviewer might ask and think how you would answer these questions.
There are also several cultural taboos in American culture that relate to the interview process. During an interview, never ask about your salary. The employer will most likely give you this information and inquiring about it projects a sense of arrogance towards your employer. You should be competitive but at the same time respectfully acknowledge yourself as the jobseeker.
Once the interview is over, you may thank the interviewer and once again go for the handshake. The employer will contact you usually within the next week if he or she wants you to come in for a second interview or even better, wants you for the job.

County controller criticizes PWSA's lead plans
Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner held a press conference Tuesday to criticize the PWSA's and the city's handling of Pittsburgh's lead issues. Stephen Caruso | Assistant Visual Editor
By Stephen Caruso / Contributing Editor
At a press conference in her Downtown office on Tuesday, Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner considered the scope of lead in Pittsburgh households' water and called it like she sees it: a public health crisis.
"One in four homes have lead lines, and the [Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority] doesn't know where they are," Wagner said. "It's Russian roulette."
The conference was not preempted by an official audit from Wagner's office's but instead by their own internal research, usually done to enforce fiscal responsibility and more efficient government. During the talk, Wagner criticised the speed and tactics that the PWSA and the city have used to address lead in Pittsburgh's water — specifically that it is only replacing half of each afflicted homes' lead service lines, or the pipes that run from the water mains under city streets into people's homes.
The Authority is only half replacing lines because it claims it cannot work on private property due to state laws. The authority then leaves homeowners to shoulder the costs for the half of the line left underneath their lawns or driveways.
The PWSA estimates that 16,000 to 20,000 homes, or 20 to 25 percent of the water network's households, have lead service lines.
Looking at the problem, Wagner said the city should step in to halt these partial line replacements and begin replacing the entirety of every lead service line for free with public money.
Pittsburgh lead issues were brought to light in April of 2016, when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ordered the PWSA to test it's water for lead. The results came back at 22 parts per billion, well over the 15 parts per billion action level required by federal law. With the high levels, the DEP then ordered the PWSA to start replacing lead lines.
In elevated levels, lead, which can enter the water from deteriorating pipes, can stunt mental growth and cause hyperactivity and aggressiveness in children.
Wagner called the current solution, that puts half the cost of safety from lead directly on the PWSA customers, the "pay up or be poisoned" method at the conference.
In a statement for the city, Mayor Bill Peduto's Chief of Staff Kevin Acklin responded by citing commonwealth law which prevents the city from working on residents' private property.
"As most lawyers know, Pittsburgh, unlike Philadelphia, is barred by the state Municipal Authorities Act from replacing residential lead service lines," Acklin said in the statement.
While the PWSA refused to comment on Wagner's press conference specifically, it has previously refuted that the authority has the right to work on private land. It claims state law precludes it. Wagner instead asserted at the conference the public solution she advocates could be accomplished with a combination political will and funding.
"If [an issue is] a priority of the city, they find ways around [the law]," Wagner said.
Wagner attacked the "half measure on lead" in an official release today, citing the research of Virginia Tech's Marc Edwards — who worked to expose the elevated lead levels in Flint, Michigan.
"Frankly, doing nothing is preferable to doing a half-pipe replacement,'" she said, quoting Edwards. When a lead pipe is disturbed while being half replaced, it frees additional lead sediment into the water.
The County Controller also said a full line replacement plan protected renters who don't control what their pipes are made of. While federal protections exist requiring landlords to inform renters about lead paint, no law requires testing or informing renters about lead pipes.
To fund the full replacement of lead lines, Wagner said the city should lift funds from other sources, such as the $10 million gained in a tax deal with the Rivers Casino last fall.
Wagner was also skeptical of Peduto's role in the PWSA's organization. He appointed a committee to look into rebuilding the PWSA , and personally intervened in the contract negotiations of current PWSA Executive Director Bernard Lindstrom — a decision usually left to the mayoral appointed PWSA board.
On all points, Wagner felt the mayor was using his power to push for the privatization of the PWSA, a charge Peduto has denied. The Mayor has considered creating a public-private partnership for the city's water, however.
"It appears the County Controller instead wants to preserve the status quo at the Authority and push massive tax increases on city residents, all while taking cheap political shots at those actually working to address the authority's issues," the statement from Peduto's office said.
While lead has been a rising issue in the city since last April, the city officially announced its own action plan March 8. After announcing three separate groups — including low income families, homes with lead over 10 ppb, and houses in areas where lead lines were being replaced.
While it's approaching one year since the DEP first cited the PWSA, the city announced a plan to allot free water filters to every PWSA customer with the $1 million gathered from People's Natural Gas, the PWSA and the city's own funds.
However, in neither the first release nor today's release did the city clarify a time frame for filter distribution.
Looking at the plan, Wagner felt it was a good "band-aid" but refused to see it as anything more.
"Even though filters are a good first step, we aren't seeing them," she said. "There can not be a delay on a full solution."

This probably should have come as no surprise to anyone with a better than room temperature IQ, but I suppose somebody had to say it.
The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said on Sunday the suspect's "mental illness" was a chief reason behind the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.
On Friday, a gunman opened fire at LAX Terminal 3, killing a TSA officer and wounding two others. The suspect, identified as Paul Anthony Ciancia, was shot four times by airport police and is in the hospital. His condition remains unknown.
McCaul said he had already spoken with TSA Director John Pistole about instituting reforms to create better coordination between TSA officials and local law enforcement. TSA officers, he noted, are particularly vulnerable because they're unarmed.
Apparently, the fact that somebody pulls out a rifle in the airport terminal and begins shooting up TSA personnel isn't enough proof of insanity for some folks though. There were immediately more than a few who tuned in their spider senses and detected an even greater evil on the wind. Or, at the very least, if he was crazy it was a special kind of crazy.
This man is very likely to be mentally ill so perhaps his violent impulses would have manifested in some way regardless of his influences. But it is worth noting that acts of violence like this often find expression in right wing paranoia. It may be that this ideology didn't cause this person to take a gun and shoot people, we just don't know enough facts to make that claim. But it's certainly possible that it gave him a ready excuse for doing it.
See? We can't come right out and prove that right wing ideology led to this. But it sure sounds good, doesn't it? And that won't stop us from suggesting it!
Welcome to the new normal. Any time some freak goes off the rails, if they choose to use the word "patriot" in any reference other than a Tom Clancy novel, this is what we'll be getting.

New fibre-optic connection improves Eemshaven's position for data centres
Eurofiber has completed its second fibre-optic connection between the city of Groningen and Eemshaven. The establishment of this connection has further improved the connectivity of Dataport Eemshaven and the area has become even more attractive to large data centres.
The new connection, with a length of 37 kilometres, was commissioned by Eurofiber Nederland, a supplier of high-quality digital infrastructure, and was recently completed. With the construction of a second route, Eurofiber customers will have access to two completely separate fibre-optic connections between Groningen and Eemshaven. Groningen, in turn, is connected to the Amsterdam internet junction via two routes: the Afsluitdijk and Lelystad. Customers are also enabled to access the shortest route to Hamburg.
Director of Infra Operator Arian de Korte: "Eemshaven is developing into a top location for large data centres. This is reflected for example in QTS, the globally operating data centre provider that announced last week that it would be establishing itself in Eemshaven and Groningen. Such parties demand a fibre-optic network that meets the highest standards in terms of bandwidth, uptime and latency, and the shortest routes. With a second, direct connection between Eemshaven and the city of Groningen we amply meet this requirement."
Groningen Seaports is delighted with the improved connectivity. "Eurofiber is an important long-term partner of Dataport Eemshaven. This new infrastructure provides a good quality choice for our customers and will serve as a magnet to attract new companies," says Strategy & Business Development manager Robert van Tuinen.
In the near future, Eurofiber will still be busy connecting its customers on the new route. The first customers will be connected to the new system at the end of June.
About Eurofiber
Eurofiber has been operating high-quality digital infrastructure since 2000. With our own open fibre-optic network and our data centres, we offer companies, governments and non-profit organisations future-proof data connections. At Eurofiber, customers have the freedom to choose the services, applications and providers they need themselves. That way they can fully exploit the innovation potential in digitisation. Eurofiber Nederland is part of the Eurofiber Group. Within our group we have a fibre-optic network of over 31,000 kilometres in the Netherlands and Belgium and four data centres. We also offer solutions for fully flexible interconnectivity between more than 50 data centres.
About Dataport Eemshaven
Dataport Eemshaven has all the facilities that data centres need for the reliability of data storage. Dataport Eemshaven is located in Groningen. The availability of energy in Eemshaven is unparalleled in Europe; the data centre business park has access to more than 8,000 MW from the surrounding area, spread over a broad energy mix. There is still space in Dataport Eemshaven and the region has excellent connections with internet hubs in Amsterdam, Hamburg and the Danish region. Google, the world's largest search engine, is expanding its already large data centre in Eemshaven. That will make Google Eemshaven the largest data centre in Europe. The American QTS recently announced that it is also investing heavily in data centre facilities in Eemshaven.

Gwiazda Granat (Mi Cephei, µ Cep, Granat Herschela) – gwiazda zmienna półregularna znajdująca się w gwiazdozbiorze Cefeusza na krawędzi kompleksu gromady otwartej i mgławicy IC 1396. Jest jedną z najjaśniejszych gwiazd naszej Galaktyki.

Gwiazda Granat bywa nazywana "Granatem Herschela", gdyż to właśnie William Herschel jako pierwszy opisał wyjątkowy jasnoczerwony kolor gwiazdy porównując go z kolorem kamienia szlachetnego granatu.

Właściwości fizyczne
Gwiazda Granat jest czerwonym nadolbrzymem, jest również jedną z największych znanych gwiazd obserwowanych gołym okiem. Jej jasność 350 000 razy przewyższa jasność Słońca. Mi Cephei jest na tyle dużą gwiazdą, że gdyby znajdowała się w centrum Układu Słonecznego jej zewnętrzne warstwy sięgałyby poza orbitę Jowisza.

Podobnie jak inne nadolbrzymy Gwiazda Granat jest niestabilna. Jej średnica rozszerza się i kurczy, czemu towarzyszy zmiana jasności wizualnej gwiazdy. Jasność waha się między 3,45 a 5,1. Typ widmowy gwiazdy to M2 Ia. Jest to gwiazda zmienna o dwóch, nakładających się na siebie, okresach zmienności o długości 730 oraz 4400 dni. Pulsacje Mi Cephei są wywoływane poprzez wewnętrzne pochłanianie i uwalnianie energii. Proces ten spowodował z kolei odrzucenie zewnętrznych warstw atmosfery gwiazdy oraz utworzenie wokół niej koncentrycznych otoczek gazowo-pyłowych. Gwiazda jest również sferycznie otoczona przez parę wodną.

W początkowym okresie istnienia Mi Cephei masa gwiazdy wynosiła zapewne ok. 20 mas Słońca. Ewolucja gwiazdy podobnie jak w przypadku innych bardzo masywnych gwiazd była więc szybka, a obecnie zbliża się ona do końca swojego życia. Podobnie jak Eta Carinae czy WR 102ka, Gwiazda Granat może w każdej chwili eksplodować jako supernowa. Pozostałością po jej wybuchu będzie jądro, które przekształci się w gwiazdę neutronową lub czarną dziurę.

In a large mixer bowl, beat the 2 sticks butter, sugar, rum and salt until well blended. Gradually add the flour until mixed, making sure all ingredients are fully combined.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a small teaspoon, scoop the dough and roll into a ball and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Roll all the dough into these ball shapes and bake for 10-12 minutes, just until lightly golden brown on the bottom.
In a microwave safe deep bowl, melt the chocolate along with the 2 tbsp. of butter until soft and blended (I heat this for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes at a time and mix as I go.) Using a fork, blend this mixture until well incorporated and being to assemble.
Take one cookie and place a small amount of the melted chocolate mixture on the bottom and top with another cookie sandwich-style, bottoms together.
Carefully set the finished cookie down straight on wax paper sheets to set and cool.
Let the finished biscotti set for about 15 minutes or so until the chocolate has hardened a bit. Serve these immediately or store in well sealed containers or freeze for future use in containers or plastic freezer bags.
what size are you rolling the balls - either in weight or in diameter please? The scale is difficult to tell from the photo.

VERY VERY well written. Excellent plot and character development. Nice long book, with many more to follow in the series from what I can see on orderofbooks.com . Though I could anticipate some of the plot, much of it was not to be assumed and left me hanging urgent to see what was going to happen. I like fantasy and sci-fi that, like this, that is well written. While not on the same par as Tolkien's, Lord of the Rings, (my highest standard) it is right up at the top, with some of the best I have read. How refreshing. This quality fantasy/adventure is difficult to find. My high recommendation as read if you like other world fantasy, magic, wizard, good vs. evil, etc., and compliments to the author. How did I miss this decades ago? I am looking forward to the second in the series.
SPPL_Aura Mar 14, 2018
I recommend this book more for avid readers who like when books are long because they don't want them to end. On a re-read I realized I was skimming quite a bit, but I would look forward to certain chapters or interactions between characters.
jobakaali Mar 08, 2018
This is the best book of the Sword of the Truth series.
I loved this book. The rest of the series were okay, but the first is awesome
DUKEMARIE Aug 24, 2016
Seems like people either love this book, or hate it with a passion. I personally love this book. In my experience, read this book and you'll end up reading the whole series, even if at times, you end up wishing you had just stopped reading after this book.
ArapahoeStaff13 Aug 18, 2016
A great fantasy novel for adults. One of my favorite reads. The characters are mature and complex, but also witty, funny, and relatable.
The world that Goodkind creates is so rich that this first novel does not even begin to do it justice. If you're looking for a new series to get lost in, look no further than the Sword of Truth Series!
Par2ival May 26, 2016
This is a really good book, although it is definitally not for children. It's a little long, but so worth it. There's also a TV series based off of it called Legend of the Seeker, but unfortunately it was pretty average since it was focused more on romance than the rest of the plot of the book. Anyway this book is amazing.
ZE1TGE15T Apr 14, 2016
I jumped into this book with little knowledge of other major fantasy authors and novels. Keep in mind that this book is over two decades old. I don't particularly think that makes the writing lacking,. Though I think it's important to mention to someone who's comparing this story with the action packed neo-literary styles of 2016 fantasy epics.
I liked the romance story in the book. You almost find you're more worried about the main characters falling out of love than getting tortured to near death. With the main hero being as stupidly clumsey as possible, it's a suprise that he made it out of The Shire...I mean Westland. Though in some ways it's more relatable characterization to give characters flaws. I actually liked a lot of the flaws, like Zedd with his eating. There was some really well written comic relief. Which is in no way of saying there wasn't some HARDCORE serious times during the story as well.
There was a character in the story that was basically Smeagle (golem) (from the Lord of the Rings saga). I found that character, and some similar aspects kind of a rip off.
Overall, I really enjoyed the story. I liked how epic the ending was and can't imagine there was enough left over to make a sequil out of. It really really annoys me when I think an author takes from a novel in order to give to it's sequel and I'm very happy that it seems nothing of the sort was done to this story.
danielestes Mar 09, 2016
Recently I discovered this quote from writer and literary critic Jorge Luis Borges:
"If you like the book, fine; if you don't, don't read it. The idea of compulsory reading is absurd; it's only worthwhile to speak of compulsory happiness. I believe that poetry is something one feels. If you don't feel poetry, if you have no sense of beauty, if a story doesn't make you want to know what happened next, then the author has not written for you. Put it aside. Literature is rich enough to offer you some other author worthy of your attention — or one today unworthy of your attention whom you will read tomorrow."
Terry Goodkind is a talented writer—I started reading Wizard's First Rule based on a recommendation—but to put it simply, this story is not for me. Neither is much of fantasy for that matter. It's taken me a long time to realize this. There are exceptions of course, but I've plodded through too many multi-hundred page novels before making peace with the above sentiment expressed by Mr. Borges.
JihadiConservative May 28, 2015
As a fantasy lover, I was so excited to get my hands on Goodkin's so called "Masterpiece". People tell me "Goodkind is better than Martin. He's a fantasy master!" Let me tell you right now that Goodkind is the worst fantasy author I have ever read. I hope this helps show why I feel these books are bad, rather than just stating that they are.
Here is why I despise this jerk so much. Wait, you tell me: He is a best seller. Yeah, but then again so is Snooky from Jersey Shore. Let's be clear: popularity does not equal quality.
So Why is BadKind so Good. Sorry, that came out wrong. Why is NoGoodkind so Good? Opps, sorry, he's so bad I'm getting my words twisted up here. One more time: why is Goodkind so Bad? There we go!
Because, he is just like, major bad dude.
Seriously people, if you think Goodkind is the Second Coming of Christ to the fantasy genre, you haven't read any real fantasy books yet.The problem is that Goodkind lacked the actual writing skills to translate ideas to paper. He broke just about every 'don't do this when you're writing a novel' rule in this book. Oh and here's the crusher...
Richard Raul is THE MAN
Dude, the hero of The Sword of Truth is THE MAN. He's the Chuck Norris of the fantasy landscape, able to defeat every dark god without breaking a sweat. He's so full of altruistic goodness that he's got a halo, except when you disagree with him and he kills you. Hell, he even goes all Chuck Norris in Book 8 on a bunch of unarmed farmer pacificists because they don't have his vision of moral clarity by not believing in absolute good and evil. So he slaughters these weak cowards and is continually praised for this over the course of the novel by Goodkind. But wait, isn't killing people who disagree with you Fascism? Nooo, that couldn't be the case, since Goodkind is so enlightened.
But wait, there is more badness to come. Oh yea, he's so bad (and by bad, I mean good) that he rips a man's spinal cord out with his bare freaking hands -- you can practically hear the Mortal Kombat "Finish Him" voiceover in the background. A few other godlike traits: he's super intelligent on top of being a hunky male model. To delve into more of the hero's badism, let's sum it up a bit (avoid this paragraph if you don't want to read spoilers) the entire series:
Farm boy finds a super sword and becomes the super Seeker of Truth, basically a badass dimwit with the big, big sword who goes around stabbing bad guys or simply any character who actually has the gall to disagree with his -- cough Goodkind's-- philosophy (which is in fact a badly written version of Ayn Rand's Fountainhead). But wait, there's more to big ol' teddy bear Richard. You see, he's really also a hidden prince too, and a pretty damn handsum one at that. No but wait, he's also a Wizard. Did I forget to mention that he's also a War Wizard on top of being a regular wizard which is basically a Wizard 2.0 with even deadlier magic than Wizard 1.0s? Oh, let's not forget about the part where he becomes KING ruler of an entire continent. I'd like to say it's a more intelligent series than an anime made for kids, but I dont' think I can even give the series that sort of credit.
Now let's get to the badly written romance and Goodkind's treatment of women in the books.
Goodkind has a disturbing fascination with the domination and rape of women. I mean you have to wonder about the guy when pretty much every page involves some sadistic torture and rape of yet another innocent and lovely woman. Man, we get it guy: lovely women need to be humiliated over and over in as many different ways as possible. Now stop writing about the same damn thing for 10,000 pages! Do me a favor: Do not read and be spared for this Horror!
danomcd Sep 15, 2014
This was an excellent book and at times I couldn't put it down (staying up to very late times during the night). My one note of caution though is that a good portion of the book is VERY dark and VERY graphically deals with torture, rape and gore - definitely should be kept away from younger readers.

"When they come back, give the boy one of these to take the horses to the stables for us and tend to them. Tell him that if he will spend the night watching them and have them ready for us at sunrise, you will add the other."
"What makes you think he will do it?"
Richard gave a short laugh. " Don't worry, he'll do it, if you ask. Just smile."
andymanchan Jul 26, 2012
"Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
booknerd3 Aug 13, 2008
Synopsis from www.terrygoodkind.com :
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, a mysterious woman, Kahlan Amnell, appears in Richard Cypher's forest sanctuary seeking help…and more. His world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence.
In a dark age when it takes courage to live, and more than mere courage to challenge those who hold dominion, Richard and Kahlan must take up that challenge or become the next victims. Beyond awaits a bewitching land where even the beat of their hearts could betray them. Yet, Richard fears nothing so much as what secrets his sword might reveal about his own soul. Falling in love would destroy them - for reasons Richard can't imagine and Kahlan dare not tell him.
In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan cals upon Richard to reach beyond his sword - to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed…or that their time has run out.
This is the beginning. One book. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend.

WILLS POINT, TX – Gospel for Asia (GFA) – The two opening quotes are truths that cannot be ignored whether improving your golf game, building a business or managing a ministry.
Imagine a golfer not counting his strokes. Not only would he not know his score, he would not know if he was improving his game as he played more rounds.
We usually think of measuring quantity. How many of this do we have, or how many of that did we give? However, measuring for the success and sustainability of a ministry must also consider quality.
Measuring results is absolutely imperative to determine what a ministry must do to grow. If a golfer is three-putting every green, he knows that he can cut 18 strokes off his game by improving his putting until he can two-putt every green.
We'll let the golfer decide what he should do. Our focus is on the mission field.
Take Jesus Wells for instance. Many missionary, humanitarian and governmental agencies drill wells in remote South Asian villages. Some wells are only available to select individuals, families or groups. The quantity of wells is one measurement, but sustainable success requires more.
Gospel for Asia (GFA) not only digs Jesus Wells, but they also make them available to the entire community. Then, they help to maintain the wells, and they train people in the community to service them so that the gift of clean water will be sustainable for years to come.
Jesus Wells are just one example of what GFA does to sustain its impact in outlying villages where people need to know about the love of Jesus—a love that never ends.
In 2018 alone, Gospel for Asia drilled 4,712 Jesus Wells across Asia for communities and individuals needing clean, safe drinking water.
GFA can ensure the sustainability of wells, toilets, Bridge of Hope centers, women's training and literacy classes, and medical care through the work of local, Gospel for Asia-supported pastors and missionaries. No effective change, as the United Nations is beginning to learn, can be sustained at a global or national level. Successful change takes place at the local level.
However, in order for local change to be sustainable over a large area, it must be coordinated and cohesive across communities. It takes organization to manage the quantity and quality of progress across multiple villages, cities, states and regions.
Training indigenous pastors and missionaries requires appropriate facilities. Aiding disaster victims requires preparedness facilities and inventories. Operational efficiency and integrity require a central location from which empowerment flows to the local churches.
The work of Gospel for Asia in Asia is approaching its 40th anniversary. Forty years is evidence of sustainability.
GFA is grateful for those people who have been faithful over the years during the good times and bad as they seek to share the love of the Lord and demonstrate His kindness through the gift of His Son, Jesus.
