Well, we know that Pegasus could only -drink- from the well Pirene where he was captured by Bellerophon.
When Bellerophon attempted to fly to Mt. Olympus and was cast down, Pegasus went to stay in the Olympian Stables and serve Zeus. Perhaps he ate ambrosia or the barley from which ambrosia was made.
In Greek mythology, Pegasus (Pégasos) was a winged horse sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa. He was the brother of Chrysaor, born at a single birthing. By extension, the term Pegasus (and the plural Pegasi) can also refer to any winged horse.

"You're Never Too Old!" Believe me! Never have truer words been spoken. Finding one's passion in life, no matter how long it takes, is what we all search for. Almost 30 years I searched for that desire, now at almost 50 I finally found my calling.
Born in the North East of England to a working-class family, my father was a chef who was also a WW2 Veteran fighting with the Eighth Army in North Africa. My mom was a worker in a biscuit (British definition not American) factory and once I came into the world, a housewife. We may have been poor but Growing up in the '70s was, in hindsight, an amazing time. What a decade! Musically we had Glam, Progressive, Disco and Punk. At the cinema, we had paranoiac political thrillers, scary slasher movies, epic sci-fi films, and rock 'n roll musicals. On the GoggleBox (that's TV to the uninitiated,) we had some of the greatest sitcoms and dramas ever produced.
My father passed in 1983 from stomach cancer. I had just turned 13 the previous October. This created a huge void in my life. He seemed invincible. The next few years I matured fast. So, rather than staying the class clown, I started studying and frequently became one of the top students in most subjects. It felt good to succeed. This spurned my urge to be competitive and succeed in everything.
Leaving School in 1986 I was unsure of my future. Living in a high unemployment area did not help with my motivation or self-confidence. I went to a horticultural college for 2 years and landed a job at a local garden centre. My escape from the monotony of a dead end job was my love of classic film and music. When my all time favourite singer and school-boy crush, Debbie Harry of the Band Blondie, actually performed in my hometown of South Shields, I was there, front row, totally smitten and reverting to happier times in the 1970s. For the Next few years I attended almost every show, then after I was granted backstage access by my hero I knew that anything was possible. I gained confidence and found a personality that people seemed to like. The cheeky Northerner with a sense of humour. It was at several shows in 1993 that I met a fellow fan and my future wife, and though our marriage didn't last, we forged a friendship that has endured all these years.
Fast-Forward to 2002 when I had the opportunity to emigrate to the US to start a new adventure. It wasn't until around 2008 when on a whim I was persuaded to audition for a role in Dracula: the Musical. To my initial astonishment, I was awarded the lead as Dracula with a dual role as Jonathan Harker. This was the first time I'd performed in public since my school days when we did school plays. At the end of the short run, I was emotionally drained at the fact I wouldn't be working with my new found family of actors again.
Then in 2011 I again decided to audition for a theatre production of Moon Over Buffalo. I was cast in the role of Paul and to this day Moon Over Buffalo has become my favourite show I've ever done. Several further productions over the next few years followed. Then in 2012, I decided to produce my own feature film, labouring over the process for 6 long years till in May of 2018 my First Feature Uberzombiefrau was finally released on Amazon Prime and available as a Hard Copy via Kunaki. We even won a Bronze award from Spotlight Horror Awards.
In Between filming my own project I gained experience working on several Hollywood productions that have been filmed in Ohio. Also joining a local Talent Agency to gain further experience and working on several Commercials in 2018. I decided to become my own boss and form a Production Company so I could do more projects with bigger budgets and better production value.
It was during the process of Filming Uberzombiefrau that I forged many friendships including one that joined me in my new venture. That friend would become VP of RedCoatProductions LLC, Christopher Rowley.
Good Guys never win, so the saying goes. Well, We're proving that doesn't have to be the case. Especially when you are driven to succeed.
Welcome to RedCoat Productions!
Stay Tuned for some amazing upcoming new projects.

I'm a slow learner with a big heart. Sarcasm and disruption are my friends, but I somehow still manage to be a really nice guy (and very diplomatic). You'll probably want to hang out with me—even if you don't like me at first.
It took me more than 30 years to figure out that I wasn't philosophically aligned with an accidental career in defense intelligence. Thankfully a brush with Shakespeare struck me like a donkey kick to the head and I finally decided to pursue my dream of acting in film. After more than 25 projects, including 6 feature films, I also cultivated my deep love and appreciation for work behind the camera. I'm a trained writer, an independent student of cinematography, and I love all aspects of the filmmaking process. I still act, but my focus is shifting more and more toward writing, directing and producing.
I am well served by more than ten years working in the Southwestern Ohio independent film scene. My energy and passion helped me build a massive regional network of actors, writers, producers and talented film crew members. And my network continues to grow as I work with creatives from around the country and across the globe. Collaboration is among my first loves and this led me into an exciting partnership at RedCoat Productions. I know that through RedCoat my own passion and drive will be matched and multiplied by an incredible team.
Two decades in the United States Air Force taught me a number of valuable lessons and aided me in developing a variety of personal philosophies. I learned one philosophy in particular that I feel translates well to filmmaking—take care of the people and they'll take care of the mission. I translate that as—focus on the art and the art will draw focus to the bottom line. Filmmaking is an art, but it requires a lot of people and resources to plan, produce and share with the world. The pre-production process for me is among the most exciting and important aspects of that process.
Pre-production is where the art takes shape and (hopefully) results in a strong foundation on which artists can freely build. I have been on enough independent film sets to experience the opposite—costly and inefficient execution and a film that never realizes its intended purpose or potential. These practices also generally lead to earnings that cannot support the mission of the production team (i.e., to make more films!). For this reason, we at RedCoat Productions are dedicated to developing strong foundations for all of our projects by putting major focus on pre-production. This is my personal philosophy which I know is echoed by the RedCoat team.
My love of films does not stand alone. I also love being a father (of four), love being in a relationship with my incredible-other, and I love helping to rescue dogs from desperate situations. I try to be a good friend and a caring person toward other humans and our earth. I host a podcast, I read occasionally, and I am drawn to all things ancient and esoteric. I also dig conspiracy. And…

Applications for our 2019 Rhodes fellow close December 1st.
The Thomas L. Rhodes Journalism Fellowship was created to honor "Dusty" Rhodes, an engaging and well-respected conservative leader who served as the president of National Review and the chairman of The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation's board of directors. The Rhodes Fellowship is made available to a new or recent college graduate, up to age 25 (when initially applying) who shows interest and capability in writing on the areas of domestic policy, including but not limited to tax and fiscal policy, health care, limited government, education reform, affirmative action, the state of the conservative movement, and other subjects which have been of particular concern to Mr. Rhodes.
Located in NRI's New York City office, the Rhodes fellow is overseen and directed by NR's editors. Through this daily oversight by NR's editors and regular interaction with other NR writers, the Rhodes fellow will actively be trained in the art of journalism; honing his/her writing, editing, reporting, and commentary skills, as well as learning about promotion, publicity, and social media. The skills acquired and sharpened as the Rhodes Fellow will help prepare him/her for a career in journalism, equipping him to write thoughtfully and eloquently—from a principled perspective—on important issues that impact a free and prosperous society.
The Rhodes Fellowship is designed as a one-year fellowship, renewable on an annual basis for up to two additional years (no more than three years).
NRI's most recent Rhodes' fellow was Jibran Khan, a graduate of King's College, London, where he studied history, literature, economics, and theology. In addition to his academic work, he worked in the communications departments of think tanks, including the Cato Institute and the Institute of Economic Affairs in London.
A graduate of Hillsdale College, Jillian Kay Melchior was NRI's 2014-2016 Rhodes fellow. She is now a senior fellow at the Independent Women's Forum where she covers energy and environmental issues and government waste, fraud and abuse for the Independent Women's Forum. She is also political editor for Heat Street and the Tony Blankley Fellow for the Steamboat Institute.
She has previously reported for National Review, the Franklin Center, The Daily, Commentary, the Wall Street Journal Asia, with freelance writings appearing in Cosmopolitan, The Weekly Standard, the New York Post and other major publications. Her foreign correspondence has also taken her to China, Iraq, Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe and Asia.


If you're considering purchasing a home, you've likely already considered how much you have available for a down payment, what an ideal mortgage payment would be, and how much home you can actually afford based on your monthly income. But what about your lifestyle?
How long are your ideal trips?
How much money would you need on an annual basis to make your travel goals possible?
Is this already factored into your budget or will you need to cut back on travel to fund your monthly mortgage payment and home expenses?
There are no right or wrong answers, but it's important to reflect on your priorities.
Do you love gardening, being outside, and all things landscaping? If you purchase a home with a lawn and don't enjoy the upkeep, you could be looking at an extra $100 or more a month for professional landscape maintenance. Are you willing to skip the lawn in favor of hardscaping to reduce costs?
Bottom line: Factor hobbies and services into your monthly budget to see if the numbers still work out in the black.
How dreamy would it be to buy a home with a pool!? Before the dream becomes reality, add up the costs of pool maintenance and servicing, energy, and insurance (along with liability if you have small children) and you may be better off heading to the neighborhood swimming hole.
Tip Adding a pool? Don't expect to recover more than 50% of your costs at resale, according to the "Remodeling Impact Report" from the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Read More In Do Swimming Pools Add Value to Homes? Pools can be a lot of fun, but they come with a lot of work. Factor time and money into your future plans when buying a home with this special feature and, once again, ask yourself if the numbers add up to support your other financial goals.
Chances are you enjoy dining out, going to concerts and sporting events, and seeing movies. If you need to rein in these activities to make room for your mortgage, home expenses, and savings, aim to strike a balance that won't leave you feeling restless.
After all, you're likely choosing a 30-year mortgage, and three decades is a long time to feel deprived. If necessary, reduce the amount of home you purchase so you can enjoy yourself in the ways that are important to you.


Tommy Pruitt was charged with murder, attempted murder, and related offenses in Indiana state court, and was convicted and sentenced to death. After exhausting his state post-conviction remedies, Pruitt sought federal habeas relief claiming that he was intellectually disabled and thus categorically ineligible for the death penalty. He also included several claims alleging ineffective assistance of his trial counsel, including one based on their failure to investigate and present evidence at sentencing that Pruitt suffered from schizophrenia.
The Seventh Circuit held that the Indiana Supreme Court's "determination that Pruitt failed to demonstrate significantly subaverage intellectual functioning based on inconsistent test scores" was objectively unreasonable and contrary to the clear and convincing weight of evidence. The Indiana Supreme Court erred by relying on "inaccurate assumptions and select pieces of evidence" in its factual determination, weighing circumstantial evidence—such as Pruitt's ability to fill out applications for employment and his other work and school history—as more indicative of his true intellectual ability than his many subaverage IQ test scores. The Court also noted that the state court record contained "unrebutted evidence that Pruitt satisfie[d] the adaptive behavior prong of intellectual disability." The Seventh Circuit also held that trial counsel's failure to investigate and present evidence of Pruitt's paranoid schizophrenia was "sufficiently egregious and prejudicial" to establish ineffective assistance. Ultimately, the Seventh Circuit reversed the judgment of the district court and remanded the case for new penalty-phase proceedings.

DraftKings Sportsbook Transition in Oregon Begins Soon
DraftKings has outlined the timeline for its takeover of the Oregon Lottery's online sportsbook offering. [Image: Shutterstock.com]
An upcoming transition
DraftKings has teamed up with the Oregon Lottery for online sports betting, and the sportsbook operator has now revealed the timeline it will follow to become exclusive provider.
The transition to DraftKings will begin on January 18
The announcement on Wednesday provides details as to how the DraftKings Sportsbook will take the place of the current Scoreboard sportsbook in the state. The transition to DraftKings will begin on January 18, with existing Scoreboard users then able to register for an account with DraftKings and transfer funds to its app.
Most functionality of the Scoreboard offering will end once the migration begins. However, users will still have access to withdraw funds and view account or transaction information for the six months following the transition. All open bets on Scoreboard will remain active until their settlement.
Excitement among both parties
DraftKings co-founder and president of global technology and product Paul Liberman welcomed the upcoming transition in advance of the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl. He said: "The Oregon Lottery shares our innovative spirit as one of the most progressive organizations in the real-money gaming sector."
DraftKings also has a commitment to environmental campaigns in Oregon. Through its work with the Arbor Day Foundation, the operator has funded the planting of more than 110,000 trees in the state to help with fire rehabilitation.
Oregon Lottery director Barry Pack expressed excitement about working with DraftKings and giving state residents the ability to place same game parlay wagers. He said: "We see benefits for Lottery too, as the shift to DraftKings means fewer third-party service providers and a simpler financial structure for player accounts."
Expanding its reach
This is the second exclusive deal DraftKings has signed with a state lottery, having also entered an agreement in 2019 with the New Hampshire Lottery.
DraftKings-owned SBTech originally powered the Scoreboard app, with the Oregon Lottery looking after the operations. The pair first announced a possible switchover last February and the Oregon Lottery Commission approved the move in August. Officials believe that the transition will enhance the user experience.
DraftKings acquired SBTech in December 2019. SBTech launched the Scoreboard sportsbook in Oregon the previous month, which made it the first online sportsbook under the operation of a US state lottery.
The Boston-based sportsbook operator now has an online and/or retail sportsbook presence in 18 states, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Illinois. Most recently, DraftKings launched an online sportsbook in New York on Saturday. This was the first time that operators could go live with their online sportsbooks in the country's fourth most populated state.

The last of the four rounds of the inter-club challenge between Kettering Archers, WOAC, Long Buckby AC and NAC took place at Sywell shooting grounds on Saturday 30th July. The final round was a Pope Young that turned out to be both fun and frustrating – with a few lost arrows in the process. Friendly banter kept the afternoon moving along, and at the end of the shoot, held on a fantastic sunny day that was none too hot, everyone feasted themselves on a grand barbecue. A tombola was held for the Vaughan Tucker fund in aid of a defibrillator for NAC and over £60 was raised. The series of four shoots in the challenge started off on 21st May with a Target Shoot hosted by WOAC, and Long Buckby and Kettering Clubs subsequently hosted Field and Clout Rounds respectively. Results will be posted very shortly, but suffice it to say that Kettering took the trophy for the whole series, and John Bosworth was the proud recipient on behalf of Kettering Archers of the oddly coloured PINK shield.
The seeds of the idea for the challenge had been sown by David Quemby of NAC, who subsequently took care of the admin/organisation work. It is planned to hold a similar series of shoots next year.
Thanks on the day to everyone who took part and helped NAC host the final round – including those who helped set up the targets and run the shoot, those who contributed to and ran the tombola, not least of all to those who laid on the fantastic barbecue, and those that helped tidy away afterwards. A great day for all four clubs; and a grand finale to a brilliant idea that brought the four clubs together.

Emotions are generally more joyful. A lot of the negative emotions of anxiety and depression are stress driven, so if you have a powerful stress buster, and meditation generally is meant to be a stressful.
Remember, mindfulness based stress reduction is meant to be a stress buster. The very, very deep rest that comes with tm is an even more powerful stress buster. That completely changes the complexion of one's emotions.
So also because meditation takes your awareness deep to very fine, fine levels of feeling one's emotions, tend to get more deeply appreciated. They become richer. You start to feel more like a fine artist who has a very deep kind of feeling for things.
I didn't have that kind of refinement growing up. So that's a nice side effect of meditation.
That's very interesting. In the TM technique, you don't really worry about your breath. You just follow the mind as it flows into this state of deep silence and inner unboundedness and your breath goes with it in the sense that as the mind gets deeply rested and settled, the breath gets deeply rested and settled.
In the meditative state, the deepest points of meditation, I'd swear I wasn't breathing. Now, if you really pay attention to it, you'll notice that there is a puff of breath coming up the nose and a just a puff of breath coming out, but it doesn't even really get past your head and you're living on that. The requirement for oxygen goes way down.
When the body is deeply rested and the cells inside the body aren't burning as much oxygen, aren't burning as much fuel. So a very deep state of rest will soften the breath and my breath is soft even an activity as a consequence of that regular practice.
Book: Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation by Norman E. Rosenthal
I don't think I've been myself participating in bullying activity. I tend to always stand up for the underdog, whoever might be getting bullied to within the limits of my own strength and of course as a younger person, I was as vulnerable as anybody and I didn't have as much strength as I would've wanted to stand up more forcefully for people who were being misused.
But as a physicist who is willing to talk about consciousness and is dedicated to researching consciousness, that makes me a little bit of an outlier in the physics community because physical scientists don't talk about consciousness.
It's like, real men don't do ballet because for a physicist, we study the physical world, we're meat and potatoes people. If we can see it, we can touch it, we can taste it, it's real. This consciousness stuff, what is that, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus?
It's a crazy point of view because physicists have consciousness. They should recognize that they are conscious and since consciousness doesn't exist within their physical equations, they tend to dismiss it as something that's not real.
Actually, if they take their study of physics more deeply, they will discover that consciousness does fit into their physical equations.
That is the very source of physics and every discipline for that matter, but be that as it may, having been a bit of an outlier, willing to talk about conscience, that there are plenty of physicists who have dismissed me.
In fact, when I went from Stanford University Faculty to Maharishi University Faculty in 1983, people wrote me off. They thought that was kind of obviously going to be the end of me. It wasn't. I mean that was really the start of my fruitful research in physics and I had developed a doctoral program and got a national science foundation grant to do research in unified field theory.
So my physics was fine, but even then, even though my physics was demonstrably better than it had been. I still, I think I probably was considered to be odd because I was into consciousness, into meditation and so forth.
So definitely you can tell when you're at a social event or conference involving other physicists, you know, physicists can take an attitude towards you and they certainly did to me. I certainly felt that at times patronizing and so forth.
So if you took that stuff seriously and it was certainly tempting for me at times, you know, to react to it, you know, to, to push back in a way that might not be productive, you know, get into an argument or toss an insult back to the other person.
But, by about that time in my life, you know, I had been meditating for quite some years and I didn't find myself overthrown by it. I found the whole thing actually a little humorous. I was able to just smile quietly as all this was going on because it was going on. I know it was going on.
I wasn't always invited to give the keynote speeches at conferences. Even if I did the keynote research behind it, you know, just a little bit of a second class treatment. It was as though I were an African American in the deep South 40 years ago. You just don't get the same treatment.
I mean, you know, it just wasn't the nature of the culture at the time. And I felt a little bit like that. Anyway, yes, being grounded in yourself is really so key.
It's really important to be in the driver's seat in the sense that you're not reactive because if you're reactive, if you're defensive, it's hard to know what you're going to say, but it's probably not going to serve you. Right? So being grounded in yourself, your big self, your inner silence, unshakably so.
And that's something that's developed over years and years. That's a great antidote to overreacting and from ever getting thrown off of your feet.

ATHENS — Greek anarchists vandalized the Athens home of the United States ambassador with black paint on Wednesday, according to the police, in the latest protest against the authorities' rejection of a convicted terrorist's request for a furlough.
The vandals defaced Ambassador Geoffrey R. Pyatt's home about 4 a.m. before fleeing on motorcycles, a police official said. Eight people were briefly detained for questioning before being released without charge because of a lack of evidence linking them to the vandalism.
It was the second attack this year on Mr. Pyatt's residence: In January, the home was vandalized to protest the United States' support for Greece's deal to recognize Macedonia on the condition it changed its name to North Macedonia. Anarchists defaced the embassy in the same month, protesting "American imperialism."
In a post on Twitter, Mr. Pyatt, who was nominated by President Barack Obama to the post in 2016, described the Wednesday attack as "childish vandalism," adding that he would "continue to work with Greek authorities to punish the culprits according to the law." He added, "Destruction of property is not peaceful protest."
The Greek Foreign Ministry also condemned the attack as an "unacceptable and irresponsible action, which nonetheless shall not affect the friendship and the expanding cooperation between our two countries."
An anarchist group called Rouvikonas claimed responsibility for the attack in a video posted on social media. It said it had acted in solidarity with Dimitris Koufodinas, an imprisoned hit man for the now-defunct November 17 domestic terrorist group, which killed 23 people, including a C.I.A. station chief in Athens, a British military attaché and several Greek businessmen. He is serving 11 life sentences for his role in the group, which was active from 1975 to 2002.
Mr. Koufodinas, 61, who has never expressed regret for his actions, has been granted six furloughs in less than two years, much to the chagrin of the relatives of the victims of November 17 and foreign missions that had been targeted by the organization.
He began a hunger strike on May 2 to protest a decision by a Greek judicial council to turn down his latest request for prison leave. He was hospitalized as a precaution at the end of last week.
Last summer, Mr. Koufodinas was transferred from the capital's high-security Korydallos Prison to an agricultural prison in Volos in central Greece as part of an overhaul of the Greek penitentiary system. That move fueled widespread criticism, with many accusing the leftist government of showing lenience to a convicted terrorist.
"Prisoners' furloughs are a right won through blood, not a concession or a privilege," Rouvikonas said in a statement. "The pressures from the American Embassy and the domestic political rabble will not pass. Furlough the hunger striker Dimitris Koufodinas now."
The Greek administration has also been criticized for not cracking down on the activities of anarchists who for years have targeted government buildings, diplomatic missions and businesses to express anti-establishment views, usually through acts of vandalism that do not cause injury.
Wednesday morning's attack was the latest in a string of acts expressing solidarity with Mr. Koufodinas. It came a few hours after a firebomb attack on a riot police unit in central Athens that followed a march for Mr. Koufodinas.
On Tuesday, 15 assailants wielding firebombs and gas canister bombs attacked a police precinct in an eastern Athens suburb and left a police guard with minor head injuries. Earlier that day, arsonists targeted the car of a Greek crime reporter, apparently because of her coverage of a surge in attacks by anarchists.
Last week, anarchists went on a vandalism spree in central Athens, smashing storefronts and shouting slogans in support of Mr. Koufodinas.
Police chiefs held an emergency meeting this week to come up with a plan for dealing with a possible escalation in violence by anarchists if Mr. Koufodinas continues his hunger strike and his health deteriorates.
Police guards, meantime, say they have had enough. In a statement on Tuesday, their union said that officers' lives were being put at risk and that the authorities were taking a soft line toward Mr. Koufodinas and his supporters.
"The state and the judiciary are being crudely blackmailed," the union said.

Afoko Case Adjourned Again
Mr Mathew Amponsah, Chief State Attorney on Tuesday prayed an Accra High Court for short adjournment of the trial of Gregory Afoko accused of the murdering the former Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), due to blockade of the Accra-Nsawam road.
Mr Amponsah, who is the Prosecutor in the case told the court that, Prison Officers from Nsawam Prison could not transport the accused person to court because of an accident on the Accra-Nsawam road leading to the blockade.
He said "from enquiries, I have been told that there is an accident on the Accra-Nsawam road which has completely blocked the road".
He told the court that, the prison authorities did not try to use an alternative route for security reasons.
He further told the court that his next witness was however in court. The court then adjourned the case to January 24.
At the previous sitting, the case was adjourned because the court was informed that the Prosecutor, Mr Amponsah, was out of the jurisdiction.
The accused person however was in court that day but his counsel, Mr Osafo Boabeng was absent.
The prosecution intends to call eleven other witnesses, in addition to Hajia Adams, Madam Issaka, Quinn and Taufic.
Gregory Afoko, a farmer, was alleged to have killed Mr Adams Mahama.
Afoko is being held on the charges of conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder and murder.
He has pleaded not guilty before the Court, which is also composed of a seven-member jury.
It was alleged, that Afoko carried out the act with one Alandgi Asabke, who is on the run.
A third accomplice, Musa Issa, was granted bail after the Attorney-General opined that there was not enough evidence to prosecute him.
The GNA earlier reported that on February 23, last year, an Accra District Court committed Afoko to stand trial at the High Court to answer to the charges against him.
The State at the committal proceedings tendered more than 17 exhibits in respect of the trial.
The exhibits include Afoko's caution and charge statements as well as a post-mortem report on the deceased conducted by Dr Lawrence Edusei; a medical report on the deceased's wife, who also sustained injuries in her bid to assist the deceased when the incident occurred.
Other exhibits are a gallon containing the alleged residue of acid found at the crime scene, a cup believed to have been used by the assailants in pouring the acid on the deceased, the deceased's pair of shoes and attire and a piece of carpet from the deceased's car.
The rest are various reports from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), a pair of blue-black tracksuit belonging to Afoko and photographs of the crime scene.
The Prosecution is being led by Mr Amponsah, Chief State Attorney, who told the court that Mr Adams was a contractor and lives at the Bolgatanga SSNIT Flats in the Upper East Region and was also the NPP Regional Chairman.
According to Mr Amponsah, Afoko also lived in Bolgatanga and was the younger brother of Mr Paul Afoko, a former National Chairman of the NPP.
The State said the accused was also a party activist, and was close to Mr Adams.
On May 20, 2015, Mr Adams left his house to his construction site in his pick-up truck with registration number NR 761-14.
The Chief State Attorney said he returned to the house in the night and at the entrance of his house, two men signaled him to roll down the window of his car.
He obliged, however, the two men poured acid on him and fled on a motorbike.
Mr Amponsah said Mr Mahama shouted for help and his wife, Hajia Zenabu Adams went to his aid.
He said Mrs. Adams also sustained burns on her chest and breast in her bid to assist the victim.
According to Mr Amponsah, Adams told his wife that it was Gregory and Asabke, who poured the acid on him.
He also mentioned the two accused persons, in the presence of neighbours, as the people who poured the acid on him.
The Chief State Attorney said Mr Adams was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Bolgatanga Hospital where he passed on.
Afoko was picked up at about 0200 hours in his house and he led the Police to Asabke's house. Asake was, however, not available.
A post mortem conducted on the deceased by Dr Edusei indicated that Mr Adams died of extensive acid burns.

The Export Internship Program links bi-lingual international students with local businesses wanting to develop deeper connections with international markets. The program aims to provide local businesses with a broader understanding of international business practices and culture through the intern's own established connections and experience. The Government of South Australia is working with South Australian universities to engage students and alumni groups, the next generation of business people who will drive future economic development in the state and are important contributors to the overall success of South Australia's international engagement.
The program is open to existing businesses of all sizes. Businesses must be active in, or seeking to be active in the export marketplace.
Please note that interns do not receive any remuneration for their participation in the export internship program but may receive course credits which will be determined by their host university.
The host business is required to provide a placement supervisor to provide ongoing direction and feedback to the intern and an appropriate workspace that will include a desk, computer, telephone, stationery and other necessary materials, and induction into the operations of the business, including health and safety requirements. If the intern is gaining course credits from the internship, the host business will need to provide a record of attendance and provide the host university with a written statement of attendance at the conclusion of the internship period.
The selection of the intern is the responsibility of the host university; however this can take place in collaboration with the host business including a recruitment and selection process. The host university will ensure that the selected intern is actively enrolled in an undergraduate or postgraduate program at a South Australian higher education provider. The university will also ensure that the selected intern is bi-lingual, has excellent verbal and written communication skills, has the ability to work independently to tight deadlines, and is highly motivated and passionate about learning. The host university is responsible for providing public liability, travel and personal accident insurance to the intern. The university is not liable for any negligent act of omission on the part of the host business that results in injury to, or loss or damage of personal property of an intern.
The South Australian Government will play a facilitation role in identifying potential businesses interested in hosting interns from the South Australian universities.
The intern will spend a maximum of 20 business days with the host employer over a period of 10-16 weeks. The 20 days can be completed part time during official university study periods, or full-time during university holidays. The actual dates are to be negotiated between the host business and the intern.

Way back in early December Hope Church here in Colchester ran iNSPiRE, a prayer space in a local CofE Primary School where they work regularly. As a way of recording the week and feeding back to the school one of the team created a book using online publishing. This is such a lovely reminder for the school of what was a great week in the lives of many pupils. They've since run another iNSPiRE week at the school.

Loyola Marymount loses two players indefinitely after car accident
By Scott PhillipsOct 28, 2013, 7:00 PM EDT
Loyola Marymount had some scary news happen to its program during the week as they announced that seniors Godwin Okonji and Ayodeji Egbeyemi will be out indefinitely while recovering from the effects of a car accident.
Okonji, a 6-foot-8 forward and Egbeyemi, a 6-foot-4 guard were involved in an accident on October 20th on the way to practice and CBSSports.com's Matt Norlander reports that according to the school, the accident happened around 7:30 a.m., as the teammates were riding to practice. They were released later that day and the news wasn't released on the duo's status until Friday.
"We are very thankful that both Godwin and Ayodeji are doing well and were able to come home following the accident," LMU coach Max Good said in a statement. "While they are doing well, both suffered various levels of injuries that will take time to heal. In talking with our doctors, we feel Ayodeji should be back soon, while we will have to wait and see on the condition of Godwin. He suffered injuries to his left leg that will require further examination from his doctors. At this time, we are just thankful that they are with us."
Loyola Marymount had a subpar '12-13 season and finished 11-23 and 1-15 in the WCC before winning three straight in the WCC Tournament and losing in the semifinals to the No. 1 team in the country, Gonzaga.
Okonji averaged 4.9 points, 3.8 rebounds last season, while Egbeyemi put up 10.6 points, 6.0 rebounds per contest.

Quantum biology centres
The Guy Foundation donates US$10,000 to inaugural Gordon Research Conference on Quantum Biology
The Guy Foundation is delighted to announce it has contributed US$10,000 to the inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Quantum Biology, to be held from the 19 – 24 March 2023, in Galveston, Texas. The conference is chaired by Dr Youngchan Kim from the Leverhulme Quantum Biology Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Surrey and Professor Clarice D. Aiello, from the QuBiT Lab, at UCLA.
The GRC is a non-profit organisation, founded in 1931, with the aim of providing an international forum for the presentation of diverse scientific research. The auspicious conferences prioritise discussion and interaction between scientists, towards the development of enduring communities that might advance the frontiers of science. The inaugural Quantum Biology GRC will concentrate on the latest developments in the field, in particular on the emerging methodologies for investigating quantum effects in biology. Quantum biology straddles a number of disciplines, including biology, chemistry and physics and so one of the main aims of the GRC will be to bring these disciplines into direct contact and foster new knowledge and collaboration. Quantum biology is an exciting science that has relevance to both fundamental scientific questions and practical application, not least the emergence of new technologies or medical therapeutics.
The Guy Foundation Founder and Chairman Professor Geoffrey Guy commented: 'The Guy Foundation works to grow the Quantum Biology community and we are delighted to give our support to this inaugural GRC which will stimulate vital conversations and collaborations between scientists from diverse backgrounds, where considerable progress can be achieved by linking their work'.
Further information about the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Quantum Biology is available from the conference website: https://www.grc.org/quantum-biology-conference/2023/

ESMT uses Logitech Video Collaboration to connect students and academics.
The European School of Management and Technology (ESMT) is an international business school with two German campuses in Berlin and Cologne. As one of Financial Times' Top 12 Executive Education programs in the world, ESMT relies on Logitech GROUP, ConferenceCam Connect, and the personal BRIO webcam to affordably connect academics and students in Germany and around the world.
Without the ease of video collaboration, ESMT found it difficult to connect professors and staff members without costly, time-consuming travel. They needed a plug-and-play video conferencing solution that is easy to install and use without breaking the bank.
ESMT installed Logitech GROUP in all of their auditoriums to connect academics and external experts during lectures. ESMT uses Logitech BRIO and Logitech ConferenceCam Connect while on the go and for ad-hoc meetings when conference rooms aren't available. Logitech BRIO's 4K camera resolution displays a high-quality picture, even on a large screen, without sacrificing image clarity.
ESMT can use Logitech BRIO's facial recognition for faster, easier logins. Plus, there's no problem scheduling impromptu meetings in various locations across campus with Logitech's mobile video conference solutions, like ConferenceCam Connect. Logitech solutions enable external experts and academics to guest lecture from a remote location. Now, students can participate in a lecture even when they are unable to make it to the classroom.

ZIONISM'S PLAN TO SPREAD EBOLA
October 11, 2014 at 17:43	(Phobias, Sublime to Ridiculous)
First zion helped the US establish ISIS, now they have plans for the monster ….
Spielberg couldn't have written a funnier script even if he tried.
Islamic State (ISIS) could be planning to use biological warfare against the West, a military expert stated earlier this week – by introducing the Ebola virus into the camps of its enemies.
Could ISIS Target the West with Ebola?
Military expert says infecting carriers with the virus is remarkably easy – and could be easy to weaponize.
By Tova Dvorin
Ebola virus (file)
While the theory sounds like it was ripped from the script of the 2002 horror classic 28 Days Later, it is feasible, experts say.
According to Captain (ret.) Al Shimkus, a Professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College, spreading the virus would be remarkably simple.
"The individual exposed to the Ebola Virus would be the carrier," Shimkus told Forbes earlier this week. "In the context of terrorist activity, it doesn't take much sophistication to go to that next step to use a human being as a carrier."
Shimkus, who teaches a course in biowarfare, stated that ISIS would simply need to send "a half dozen operatives" into any West African country battling the epidemic to create a carrier – then intentionally infect as many people as possible in a target country.
The fatality rate for Ebola hovers at 50% – making it an effective weapon – but that rate could skyrocket to well over 90% in countries without sufficient medical care, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Shinkus isn't the only expert to warn about Ebola being weaponized.
Amanda Teckman, author of the paper "The Bioterrorist Threat of Ebola in East Africa and Implications for Global Health and Security" concluded in 2013 that "the threat of an Ebola bioterrorist attack in East Africa is a global health and security concern, and should not be ignored."
And last month, a Tunisian terrorist for ISIS was found researching biowarfare on his laptop – although the scope of his research focused on the bubonic plague, not Ebola.
Experts say the find proves not that ISIS already has biological weapons, but is at least actively seeking them to expand their jihadist campaign in the Middle East and around the globe – and become an unprecedented threat if they do.
"If they obtain biological or chemical weapons, they will use them," Princeton University Jurisprudence professor Robert George stated to the Glenn Beck show in September. "There's no question. There's nothing that's stopping them from using those weapons."
Over 7,200 people have been infected with Ebola, according to latest WHO estimate – including several cases recorded in Spain and in Macedonia.

Judaism/Zionist IS Ebola!

Judaism/Zionism ….. there IS a difference
tt said,
So when the world government comes, the Goy that survive will be slaves to Zionists (but not Jews?)
Not all Jews are zionists and not all zionists are Jews!
Nalliah Thayabharan said,
AIDS and EBOLA were both created by US biological weapons program.
ANTHRAX, AGENT ORANGE were created by US chemical weapons program.
HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI were created by US nuclear weapons program


I trust the vision and philosophy of Dheyaism, hence I instantly accepted the request without addressing my puzzled questions. Slowly it unveiled that R.I.T. was "Rajarambapu Institute of Technology" located in Sangli district of Maharashtra. We had a mission to connect with 500 students of the first year and had a one-on-one session. 20 of us were ready to take on the mission and determined to motivate and kindle the spark in each of the students. Dheya believes in strength based analysis and correlates it to possible careers. We make students believe in themselves and achieve much higher goals in life than they can imagine. So with all enthusiasm and knowledge, I was excited to meet young India.
As we reached RIT on 16th Aug, I was blown away by the expanse of the campus (spread over 17 hectares) and such great infrastructure built by the founders. I also noticed in that in the eyes of those young aspiring students, was a spark to seek a purpose and a dream to achieve great heights. They had a desire to make a difference and have faith in their abilities but were unsure of career destination.
Across two days, we conducted workshops on Self Development, Strengths Analysis, Future of Work, Self-Learning, etc and individual one-on-one career discovery sessions with all students. At the end of it, I had not only been able to impact the talented future of our country but also derive the positive energy from these simple yet strong-willed youth. It was personally a humbling experience for me, as I was discovering myself even more as I moved from one interaction to another. I also made so many friends with all who share a common purpose and belief in Dheyaism.
On 17th Aug I was waiting at Takari station (near R.I.T.) for my train to arrive for Mumbai and I saw a young lad walking towards me. He walked up to me and said, "Hi Sir, happy to see you here!" I recollected seeing him, in one of the corridors at R.I.T., as a tall, lanky and sparkling-eyed boy. He said "I am glad I attended the two-day programme. "I am going to Mumbai over the weekend now to meet my family and friends. I cut down my trip by two days, but no regret." He further said that because of the two-day programme, he was now clear with his own strengths, abilities and personality traits. He is pursuing Mechanical Engineering and was inspired to pursue advanced study in Intelligent Machines. He also said" Sir Dheya gave me a great perspective that while studying I can always intern in my father's business which is providing machine solutions to Fortune 500 companies!
I could feel the emotions rushing inside me and my eyes almost testifying those emotions. I always had a dream to have a long-lasting positive impact on the hearts and minds of young budding prodigies of India. I had never imagined that I will be able to live this dream through Dheyasim. That night I slept a satisfied and peaceful sleep in the train with the immense sense of fulfillment. We are a tiny spec in this enormous universe, but when we come together as a bunch for a common purpose, we can make such an enormous positive impact, too.
