1955 Le Mans disaster
The 1955 Le Mans disaster occurred during the 24 Hours of Le Mans motor race at Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France on 11 June 1955. A major crash caused large fragments of debris to fly into the crowd, killing 83 spectators and French driver Pierre Bouillin (who raced under the name Pierre Levegh) and injuring nearly 180 more. It was the most catastrophic crash in motorsport history, and it prompted Mercedes-Benz to retire from motor racing until 1989.
The crash started when Jaguar driver Mike Hawthorn cut in front of Austin-Healey driver Lance Macklin to reach his pit stop, prompting Macklin to swerve into the path of Levegh, who was passing on the left in his much faster Elektron magnesium-alloy bodied Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. Levegh rear ended Macklin at high speed, overriding Macklin's car and launching his own car through the air. Levegh struck a protective dirt berm at 200 km/h (125 mph), disintegrating and igniting his car, throwing him onto the track where he was instantly killed, and sending large pieces of flaming debris cartwheeling over the berm and into the packed grandstand—including the engine block and hood.
There was much debate over blame. The official inquiry held none of the drivers specifically responsible and criticised the layout of the 30 year-old track, which had not been designed for cars of this speed.
Before the crashEdit
There was great anticipation for the race, as Ferrari, Jaguar, and Mercedes-Benz had all won the race recently and they all arrived with new and improved cars. The Ferraris, current champions at the time, were very fast, but fragile. Jaguar concentrated their racing almost exclusively on Le Mans and had a very experienced driver line-up including Formula 1 (F1) Ferrari driver, Mike Hawthorn.[1]
After conquering F1, Mercedes-Benz had debuted its new 300 SLR in that year's World Championship, including a record-setting win at the Mille Miglia for Stirling Moss. The 300 SLR featured a body made of an ultra-lightweight magnesium alloy called Elektron. The car lacked the more effective state-of-the-art disc brakes featured on the rival Jaguar D-Type, instead incorporating inboard drum brakes and a large air brake behind the driver that could be raised to increase drag and slow the car.[2]
Team manager Alfred Neubauer assembled a multi-national team for the race: pairing his two best drivers Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss in the lead car, 1952 race-winner Karl Kling with Frenchman André Simon (both also in the current F1 team) and American John Fitch with one of the elder statesmen of French motor-racing Pierre Levegh. It had been Levegh's unprecedented solo drive in the 1952 race that failed in the last hour, which allowed Mercedes-Benz their first Le Mans victory.
Safety measures nearly universal by the year 2000 were relatively unknown in 1955. Aside from two layout changes to make the circuit shorter, the Le Mans circuit was largely unaltered since the inception of the race in 1923, when top speeds of cars were typically in the region of 100 km/h (60 mph). By 1955, top speeds for the leading cars were over 270 km/h (170 mph). That said, the circuit had been resurfaced and widened post-war. The pits and grandstands had been reconstructed, but there were no barriers between the pit lane and the racing line, and only a 4 ft (1.2 m) earthen bank between the track and the spectators. The cars had no seat belts; the drivers reasoned that it was preferable to be thrown clear in a collision rather than be crushed or trapped in a burning car.[3]
The 1955 race began at 4 pm on Saturday, and, as predicted, the lead cars of Eugenio Castellotti (Ferrari), Hawthorn (Jaguar), and Fangio (Mercedes-Benz) were at the head of the field in the first hour. The other team cars were being kept on tighter leashes to conserve the cars, but still racing in the top ten. Going into the second hour, Castellotti started dropping back, but Hawthorn and Fangio continued the duel, swapping the lead and dropping the lap record further and further, lapping most of the field.[4][5]
The accident happened at 6:26 pm, at the end of lap 35, when the first pit stops for the leading cars were starting.
CrashEdit
Immediate causeEdit
On lap 35, Hawthorn and Fangio were racing as hard as ever. In his biography, Hawthorn said he was "momentarily mesmerized by the legend of the Mercedes superiority... Then I came to my senses and thought 'Damn it, why should a German car beat a British car.'"[6][7] The lap before, Hawthorn's pit crew had signaled for him to come in the next lap. He had just lapped Levegh (running 6th) after Arnage (one of the corners of the race track) and was determined to keep Fangio at bay as long as possible.[8] Coming out of the Maison Blanche portion of the course, he rapidly caught Lance Macklin in his Austin Healey 100S, who had seen him and moved over to the right to let him pass. Putting another lap on Macklin coming up to the main straight, Hawthorn then raised his hand to indicate he was pitting and pulled across to the right (from Hawthorn's testimony).[8][9] What caught Macklin out though was that Hawthorn, using his advanced disc brakes, braked very hard to be able to slow the Jaguar from such a speed in time.[10][11][12][13]
CollisionEdit
The 1955 Le Mans crash
There are two key points to the track layout here – first, there was no designated deceleration lane for cars coming into the pits, and second, that just before the main straight, there was the slightest right-hand kink in the road just after where Hawthorn started braking.
Macklin, who also braked hard, ran off the right-hand edge of the track, throwing up dust. Macklin tried to avoid Hawthorn, whether it was an instinctive swerve from surprise, or a loss of control from going onto the change of road-surface, or his car's disc brakes operating unevenly. As a result, Macklin's car veered across to the centre of the track, apparently briefly out of control. This however put him into the path of Levegh's Mercedes-Benz, closing at over 200 km/h (120 mph), intent on doing another lap and in front of Fangio, who was patiently waiting to pass. Levegh did not have time to react, but with possibly his last action, raised his hand warning Fangio, thereby probably saving Fangio's life. Fangio, with his eyes shut, but with his own quick reflexes, squeezed through the carnage, just brushing Hawthorn's now-stationary Jaguar in the pits, but getting through unscathed.[14][15]
Levegh's right-front wheel rode up onto the left rear corner of Macklin's car, which acted as a ramp and launched Levegh's car into the air, flying over spectators and rolling end over end for 80 metres (260 ft).[3] Levegh was thrown free of the tumbling car, but his skull was fatally crushed when he hit the ground.[14][9]
That critical kink in the road put the car on a direct trajectory toward the packed terraces and grandstand. The car landed on the earthen embankment between the spectators and the track, bounced, then slammed into a concrete stairwell structure, and disintegrated. The momentum of the heaviest components of the car – the engine, radiator, and front suspension – hurtled straight on into the crowd for almost 100 metres (330 ft), crushing all in their path.[14] The bonnet lid scythed through the air, "decapitating tightly jammed spectators like a guillotine."[16] Spectators who had climbed onto ladders and scaffolding to get a better view of the track, and those crowding to use the underpass to get to the pits, found themselves in the path of the lethal debris.[3]
Jaguar driver Duncan Hamilton, watching from the pit wall, recalled, "The scene on the other side of the road was indescribable. The dead and dying were everywhere; the cries of pain, anguish, and despair screamed catastrophe. I stood as if in a dream, too horrified to even think."[17][18]
When the rest of the car landed on the embankment, the rear-mounted fuel tank exploded. The fuel fire raised the temperature of the remaining Elektron bodywork past its ignition temperature, which was lower than that of other metal alloys due to its high magnesium content. The alloy burst into white-hot flames, showering the track and crowd with magnesium embers, made worse by rescue workers totally unfamiliar with magnesium fires, pouring water onto the inferno, greatly intensifying the fire: see flammability of magnesium.[14][9] As a result, the car burned for several hours.
Meanwhile, Macklin's car, heavily damaged, rammed the left-side barrier, then veered to the right of the track into the pit lane, narrowly missing Kling's Mercedes-Benz, Roberto Mieres's Maserati, and Don Beauman's Jaguar, all of whom were already in the pits refueling before the accident. Macklin's car hit the unprotected pit-wall, just short of the Cunningham and Mercedes-Benz pits where Shell and Lockheed equipment were stationed, running down a policeman, a photographer and two officials (all seriously injured), then rebounded back across the track again to end up skating down the left-side fence for a second time. Macklin survived the incident without serious injury, jumping out of the wreck and over the bank.[14][3][18]
Following hoursEdit
Hawthorn had overshot his pits and stopped. Getting out he was immediately ordered by his team to get back in and do another lap to get away from the total confusion and danger. When he pit stopped during the next lap he staggered out of the car completely distraught, adamant that he had caused the catastrophe. Ivor Bueb and Norman Dewis, both Le Mans debutants, had to step into their respective cars for their first driver stints. Bueb in particular was very reluctant, but given Hawthorn's condition had no choice, as Dewis adamantly pointed out to him.[3]
Everyone expected the race to be red-flagged and stopped. Given the scale of the disaster, however, the race officials kept the race running because, if the huge audience crowd had tried to leave en masse, they would have choked the main roads around, severely impeding access for medical and emergency crews trying to save the injured.[4][9][19][20]
Levegh's co-driver, American John Fitch, was suited up ready to take over the car at the upcoming pit-stop and was standing with Levegh's wife Denise Bouillin. They saw the whole catastrophe unfold.[14] Levegh's lifeless body, severely burned, lay in full view on the pavement until a gendarme hauled down a banner to cover it. His wife was inconsolable and Fitch stayed with her until she could be comforted.[14] Half an hour after the crash he realised that news was probably being broadcast on the radio, and he needed to telephone his family to reassure them that he was not the driver of the crashed car.[14][18] When he got to the media centre to use a telephone, he got his first inkling of the sheer enormity of the disaster, overhearing a reporter filing that 48 deaths were already confirmed.[14]
When Fitch returned to his pit he urged the Mercedes-Benz team to withdraw from the race, he could see that win or lose would be a public relations disaster for Mercedes-Benz.[21][22] Mercedes-Benz team manager Alfred Neubauer had already reached the same conclusion, but did not have the authority to make such a decision. After an emergency meeting and vote of the company directors by telephone in Stuttgart, Neubauer finally got the call approving the team's withdrawal just before midnight. Waiting until 1:45 am, when many spectators had left, he stepped onto the track and quietly called his cars into the pits, at the time running first and third.[23][24] Their retirement was briefly announced over the public address system. The Mercedes-Benz trucks were packed up and gone by morning. Chief engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut had gone to the Jaguar pits to ask if the Jaguar team would respond in kind, out of respect for the crash victims. Jaguar team manager "Lofty" England declined.[3][23][25]
Conclusion of the raceEdit
Le Mans Memorial Plaque
Mike Hawthorn and the Jaguar team kept racing. With the Mercedes-Benz team withdrawn and the Ferraris all broken, Jaguar's main competition had gone. Hawthorn and Bueb won the race by an easy margin of five laps from Aston Martin. The weather had closed in on Sunday morning and there was no victory celebration. However, an inopportune press photograph showed Hawthorn smiling on the podium swigging from the victor's bottle of champagne. The French magazine L'Auto-Journal published it with the sarcastic caption, "A votre santé, Monsieur Hawthorn!" (In English, "To your health, Mr. Hawthorn!")[26][3]
After the raceEdit
Accounts put the death toll at 80 to 84 (spectators plus Levegh), either by flying debris or from the fire, with a further 120 to 178 injured. Other observers estimated the toll to be much higher.[23][27][28][3] It has remained the most catastrophic crash in motorsport history. A special mass was held in the morning in the Le Mans Cathedral for the first funerals of the victims.
The death toll led to an immediate temporary ban on motorsports in France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and other nations, until the racetracks could be brought to a higher safety standard. In the United States, the American Automobile Association (AAA) dissolved their Contest Board that had been the primary sanctioning body for motorsport in the U.S. (including the Indianapolis 500) since 1904. It decided that auto racing detracted from its primary goals, and the United States Automobile Club was formed to take over the race sanctioning and officiating.[29]
Most countries lifted their racing bans over the next year. However Switzerland's ban, which also extended to the running of timed motorsports such as hillclimbs, was not. This forced Swiss racing promoters to organize circuit events in foreign countries including France, Italy, and Germany. In 2003, the Federal Assembly of Switzerland started a lengthy discussion about whether this ban should be lifted. The discussion focused on traffic policy and environmental questions rather than on safety. On 10 June 2009, the Ständerat (upper house of the Swiss parliament) defeated a proposal to lift the ban for the second time.[30][31] In 2015, the ban was relaxed for electric vehicles only, such as cars involved in Formula E electric racing.[32]
The next round of the World Sports Car Championship at the Nürburgring was cancelled, as was the non-championship Carrera Panamericana. The rest of the 1955 World Sportscar Championship season was completed, with the remaining two races at the British RAC Tourist Trophy and the Italian Targa Florio, although they were not run until September and October, several months after the catastrophe. Mercedes-Benz won both of these events, and was able to secure the constructors championship for the season. Having achieved that, Mercedes-Benz withdrew from motorsport. The horror of the crash caused some drivers present, including Americans Phil Walters (who had been offered a drive with Ferrari for the rest of the season,[2]) Sherwood Johnston, and John Fitch (after completing the season with Mercedes-Benz), to retire from racing. Lance Macklin also decided to retire after being involved in another fatal crash, during the 1955 RAC Tourist Trophy race at Dundrod Circuit. Fangio never raced at Le Mans again. At Le Mans, the audience stands at the pits were demolished.
Much recrimination was directed at Hawthorn, saying that he had suddenly cut in front of Macklin and slammed on the brakes near the entrance to the pits, forcing Macklin to take desperate evasive action into the path of Levegh. This became the semi-official pronouncement of the Mercedes-Benz team and Macklin's story.[15][8] The Jaguar team in turn questioned the fitness and competence of Macklin and Levegh as drivers.[15] The first media accounts were wildly inaccurate, as shown by subsequent analysis of photographic evidence conducted by Road & Track editor (and 1955 second-place finisher) Paul Frère, in 1975.[23] Additional details emerged when the stills reviewed by Frère were converted to video form.
The media also speculated on the violent fire that engulfed the wreck, that intensified when fire marshals poured their water-based extinguishers on the flames. They suggested that Mercedes-Benz had tampered with the official fuel-supply with an explosive additive, but the intensity of the fire was due instead to the magnesium-alloy construction of the chassis. Neubauer got the French authorities to test residual fuel left in the wreck's fuel injection and the result vindicated the company.[23]
Opinions differed widely amongst the other drivers as to who was directly to blame for the crash, and such differences remain even today. Macklin claimed that Hawthorn's move to the pits was sudden, causing an emergency that led him to swerve into Levegh's path. Years later Fitch claimed, based on his own recollection and from what he heard from others, that Hawthorn had caused it. Norman Dewis ventured the opinions that Macklin's move around Hawthorn was careless and that Levegh was not competent to meet the demands of driving at the speeds the 300SLR was capable of.[3] Both Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz issued official statements, mainly in self-defense against the accusations leveled against them and their drivers. Neubauer limited himself to suggesting improvements to the pit straight and making pit-stops safer.[15][8]
Macklin, on reading Hawthorn's 1958 autobiography, Challenge Me the Race, was embittered when he found that Hawthorn now disclaimed all responsibility for the crash without identifying who had caused it. With Levegh dead, Macklin presumed that Hawthorn's implication was that he (Macklin) had been responsible, and he began a libel action. The action was still unresolved when Hawthorn was killed in a non-racing crash on the Guildford bypass in 1959, ironically when overtaking a Mercedes-Benz in his Jaguar.[33]
The official government inquiry into the accident called officials, drivers, and team personnel to be questioned and give evidence. The wreckage was examined and tested and, finally, returned to Mercedes-Benz nearly 12 months after the catastrophe.[23] In the end the enquiry ruled that no specific driver was responsible for the crash, and that it was merely a terrible racing incident. The death of the spectators was blamed on inadequate safety standards for the track design.[23][3] Tony Rolt and other drivers had been raising concerns about the pit straight since 1953.[citation needed]
LegacyEdit
Over the next year, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) set about making extensive track improvements and infrastructure changes—the pit straight was redesigned and widened to remove the kink just before the start-finish line, and to give room for a deceleration lane. The pits complex was pulled down and rebuilt, giving more room to the teams, but thereby limiting spaces to only 52 starters rather than the previous 60. The grandstand was demolished and rebuilt with new spectator terraces and a wide ditch between them and the racetrack.[34][15][35] Track safety technology and practices evolved slowly until Formula 1 driver Jackie Stewart organized a campaign to advocate for better safety measures ten years later. Stewart's campaign gained momentum after the deaths of Lorenzo Bandini and Jim Clark.[36]
John Fitch became a major safety advocate and began active development of safer road cars and racing circuits. He invented traffic safety devices currently in use on highways, including the sand-and-air filled Fitch barrels.[37]
Macklin's Austin-Healey 100 was sold to several private buyers before appearing on the public auction block. In 1969, it was bought for £155.[38] In December 2011, the car was sold at auction for £843,000.[39] The car retained the original engine SPL 261-BN and was valued at £800,000 before the auction.[38] Its condition was reported to be 'barn find'.[40]

Marvel Heroes 2015 launched on June 4, 2013, and as if that wasn't confusing enough, one of the biggest villains in the Marvel Universe will soon become a playable hero. Also, red is blue and up is down.
To commemorate the game's second birthday and the release of Dr. Doom, Marvel Heroes' 48th playable character, Gazillion is hosting a livestream tomorrow, June 4, starting at 10 a.m. Pacific, via its Twitch channel. The devs will show off the "good" Doctor himself, along with the revamp of the Team-Up System and the Thing's power set. You won't see the Angel, Warren Worthington, as a Team-Up character on the stream, but Gazillion promises that he will be available later this month.
The stream will go on all day — or, "whenever we decide to stop," according to the press release — so stop in, say hi, and ask everyone on stream to give their best evil Dr. Doom cackle!
childish idiotism… why dont u make badass mmorpg with character creation and more marvel??????

GO Series presents Picdun from Intense.
PICture DUNgeon is a unique action RPG. Every step you take exploring the dungeon will fill in the blanks of a hidden picture. Use your head to solve puzzles that unveil hidden passages and use your pedometer to help find every step that will reveal the hidden images. Fight through hordes of dungeon creatures, attacking and countering with your sword and shield.
Interesting. A 500 pointer for once for Go series too...Hmmm.
Wonder what 'use your pedometer to help find every step' means? I'd be interested to see what this one looks like.
From the trailer I saw, it looks like a first-person action rpg. I don't like first-person rpgs, so I won't be getting this. I don't really like the art style either.
Does anyone know if this will be coming to Australia? It looks quite interesting.
The pedometer is an item you need to find in every floor, and lets you know how many missing "tiles" are in that floor to complete it.
is it worth the 500 points? - So far yes. I must say it is frustrating to leave a floor with the picture not complete.
I dunno... I find the controls slightly frustrating.

Hunting Other Game
HUNTING's Antelope Forecast for 2014
August 25, 2014 By David Hart
Pronghorn can likely be deemed the easiest path to a trophy in 2014, as success rates tend to run north of 80 percent in states with strong populations. The strongest is in Wyoming, which at one time had more prairie goats than people. That's changed. Pronghorn populations have slipped from a high of 565,000 in 2007 to about 368,000 last year.
That decline is due to a number of factors, but Wyoming Game and Fish spokesman Al Langston says the state went through several tough winters and a number of abnormally dry years. As a result, hunters can expect tougher draw odds and fewer antelope, particularly on management units that are primarily public.
Drought is taking a toll on pronghorns in other states, particularly in regions that tend to be dry in the first place. West Texas, for example, has seen a major decline in antelope. So much, in fact, Texas Parks and Wildlife is now allocating only 100 buck tags for the region. That's down from 800 in 2007. The good news is that antelope in the Texas Panhandle are doing fine, thanks largely to the region's farmers.
"There are about 12,000 antelope in the Panhandle, and they are doing fine," says TPW biologist Shawn Gray.
Antelope aren't fine in the drier regions of Utah, which has also been hit by a prolonged drought. They are stable, however, in the rest of the state, says Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Big Game Coordinator Kent Hersey.
"The biggest bucks tend to come from the desert regions, but the Parker Mountains and Plateau units have the highest populations," he says.
Montana antelope also suffered a significant winter kill several years ago and are still recovering. Some herds were also hit with hemorrhagic disease last year. As a result, there will be a reduced number of tags, says Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Wildlife Management Section Chief Quentin Kujala. "Region 7 licenses have been cut to 3,000," he says. "It used to be around 10,000."
Drought has hurt antelope in parts of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, three of the best states for trophy-class pronghorns. New Mexico Game and Fish biologist Ryan Darr says the northeastern quadrant of the state did not experience the drought much of the rest of the state did. Numbers are stable or increasing.
"Populations are strong in that region, although there is still good hunting in other parts of the state," he says.
1. Wyoming
Wyoming leads the country in antelope population and hunting opportunity. The best regions tend to be in eastern Wyoming, where private land dominates the landscape.
3. New Mexico
Southwest New Mexico also produces some giant pronghorn, but most hunting takes place on private ranches or with an outfitter...unless you draw a prime tag.
Arizona typically ranks as the top trophy producer. The region east of Flagstaff produces some big specimens.

Q: How to send a post request authentication with specific variables for username and password? I am trying to send a POST request authentication using auth with companyId and accountPasswordvariables but it fails to authenticate if I use the auth way
Following works but I cannot use the username and password in URL as its creating security issues with the username and password stored in logs
url = AUTH_URI + '/' + dyn_url + "?appIdKey=" + str.encode(APP_ID_KEY) + "&companyId=" + self._user + "&accountPassword=" + self._pswd
                r2 = requests.post(url,timeout=DEFAULT_REQUESTS_TIMEOUT,headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'},allow_redirects=False)

Changing it to use auth variable fails to authenticate,any guidance on how to fix this?
            url = AUTH_URI + '/' + dyn_url + "?appIdKey=" + str.encode(APP_ID_KEY)
            r2 = requests.post(url,timeout=DEFAULT_REQUESTS_TIMEOUT,headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'},auth=('companyId=self._user','accountPassword=self._pswd'),allow_redirects=False)

I get the following error,somehow the 'companyId=self._user','accountPassword=self._pswd' not taking affect
Error:-
Please enter the username and password

A: You are sending the string literal 'self._user' as the username. Try using f-strings if you are running Python 3.6 or above:
r2 = requests.post(url,
    timeout=DEFAULT_REQUESTS_TIMEOUT,
    headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'},
    auth=(f'companyId={self._user}',
          f'accountPassword={self._pswd}'),
    allow_redirects=False)

Edit: For Python 2.7 it would be:
r2 = requests.post(url,
    timeout=DEFAULT_REQUESTS_TIMEOUT,
    headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'},
    auth=('companyId={}'.format(self._user),
          'accountPassword={}'.format(self._pswd)),
    allow_redirects=False)

Wired (Buchanan-Renard #13) - Page 20/110
"Do you live in Boston now?"
She waited for him to continue, and when he didn't, she asked, "Where do you live?"
"Pretty much out of a suitcase these days."
It wasn't much of an answer. She wasn't going to press, though. What did she care where he lived? After tonight she probably would never see him again. "Any brothers or sisters?"
"One younger brother. Okay, now it's your turn. Tell me about your family."
She was certain he knew all about her family. The background check Phillips and he had done had obviously been thorough, but she decided to play along. Better to humor the man than to alienate him.
"My aunt and uncle live in Emerson. It's a small town about two and a half hours away from Boston. I have a sister, Charlotte. She's older, but we're very close."
He didn't say a word. He simply waited for her to tell him more.
"My parents went up in a small plane with a friend. All three of them died in the crash. I was four years old when it happened, and Charlotte was ten. My aunt and uncle took us in. If they hadn't, we would have had to go into foster care and probably be separated. I'm very grateful to them."
It wasn't what she said but how she said it in a flat voice that revealed volumes, as though she'd said it so many times it was now an automatic response.
"I have a cousin," she continued. "His name is Will. He's two years older than I am, and we aren't close at all. You know that, too, don't you?"
"I do?"
Liam flashed a quick smile that nearly broke her concentration. He really was a sexy devil. She shook away the ridiculous thought and remembered what she wanted to say. "Now you want me to talk about him, don't you?"
"Actually . . ."
"Yes, Will's been in trouble with the law. More than once, as a matter of fact, and I'll admit he can be really obnoxious, and yes, he does have a terrible temper, but he went to anger management classes and has a counselor to get help with that. Okay, so it wasn't his idea. The court made him go. Still, I'm sure it will make a difference." She sighed then and said almost in a whisper, "No, that's not true. I don't think it will make a difference. Will has some bad habits. Running with a group of troublemakers is one of them."
"What's another?" he asked.
"He's not willing to work hard to get ahead. He's after easy money and doesn't care how he gets it and who he hurts," she answered. "He can justify anything," she continued. "He's always got a get-rich-quick plan, and of course they all backfire. He's bounced a lot of checks, but his parents always cover them. The truth is, Will hasn't grown up, and I'm not sure he ever will. He's been spoiled all his life. His parents live to please him. It's disgusting, really-" She stopped abruptly, realizing she was sharing far more than she should. It was just that, once the feelings surfaced, she couldn't stop them from spilling out.
"What about computers?" Liam asked.
"What about them?"
"How good is Will with computers?"
"He isn't a hacker, if that's what you're wanting to know. Yes, he knows his way around a computer, and he thinks he's good, but he isn't. I'd rate him mediocre."
"Does he know what you can do?"
"I don't think so, but I can't be sure."
Allison stared at the passing streetlights, lost in thought. She had rambled on and on and didn't have any idea what Liam was thinking now. Had she been disloyal to tell him the truth about Will? The irony was, she'd actually softened the truth. After mulling the question over, she decided she hadn't told him anything he didn't already know. She suddenly noticed she was crossing and uncrossing her legs again and immediately stopped.
"Allison?"
"Yes?"
"Are you always this uptight?"
"No, not always," she replied. "But when I'm with an FBI agent who won't tell me what he wants from me, I do tend to get a little apprehensive."
Everything about this situation was bizarre. Here she was, riding in a car with a man she knew virtually nothing about, other than the fact that he worked for the FBI and held a great deal of authority. That was obvious in the way the agents answered to him. It was also undeniable that he was very attractive and charismatic. He definitely oozed animal magnetism. Women went weak-kneed over mysterious men like him, but not her. She would never allow herself to be so vulnerable. She didn't have time.
Allison was so caught up in her musings she wasn't aware that the car had come to a stop.
While she was sitting there pondering her circumstances, Liam had walked around the car to open her door. He waited a minute and then asked, "Are you about ready to get out?"

Not everyone phases out the cultural trends that were popular in their youth, and why would they want to? If you grew up in the late '60s or early '70s and you still hold true to the "hippie" values and lifestyle, perhaps you'd be inclined to make your bathroom decorative theme filled with tie dye and psychedelic patterns. You wouldn't be the first, as many examples of "hippie"-themed bathrooms appear throughout the internet.
Some of these hippie bathrooms require a bit of a time an energy investment, while others are as simple as installing a new shower curtain or getting yourself some tie dye bath towels.
There's a whole bunch of interesting hippie-themed accessories on various off-kilter sites offering quirky bathroom decorations. For example, one on VisionBending depicted a heavily-bearded hippie sitting in an Indian-style pose that encompasses almost the entire shower curtain. A similar product displays a massive smiley face wearing sunglasses with purple lenses and a flower next to its peaceful grin.
The same can be said for Squiddo.com - which features numerous bathroom accessories including shower curtain and waste baskets. You don't necessarily have to have lived through the hippie movement to appreciate the message and visual aesthetic of a peace sign, after all. There are also tie dye towels on the site, if you enjoy a little visual stimulation when you're drying off after a shower.
But if a simple accessory or two isn't going to satisfy you hunger for peace and love, Houzz.com offers some more substantially made over groovy bathrooms.
One that a caption describes as a "mud room" features wooden-themed decor, including a substantially-sized wooden basin, along with a wooden shower curtain, walls and bathroom vanity. At a glance, it almost looks like a bathroom from the Flintstones cartoon show, but it's natural ambiance recalls a camping trip where much granola was consumed and nature was gotten back in touch with.
Meanwhile, the first bathroom on Houzz's list is probably the most in-keeping with the idea of being psychedelic. The wooden design of the bathroom vanity and sink has a little bit in common with the so-called "mud room" we just mentioned, but the color scheme in the mirror frame seems to fit the more traditional idea of being groovy. The blue and grey scheme of the shower stall is also visually engaging enough to evoke fun times had during Woodstock.

Interview with the Vampire started a series of books by Anne Rice about vampires titled the Vampire Chronicles. In the more than two decades that followed, Anne Rice wrote many books which mainly centered around supernatural and occult themes. Two Vampire Chronicles books by Anne Rice were made into movies Interview with the Vampire (1976), and Queen of the Damned (1988). The book Exit to Eden (1985), which Anne Rice wrote under the pseudonym Anne Rampling, was also made into a movie. Under the pseudonym Anne Rampling she also wrote Belinda (1986), and under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure she wrote three books The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty (1983), Beauty's Punishment (1984), and Beauty's Release (1985). In 2004 Anne Rice declared that she would no longer write books about vampires or occult themes, and turned her writing attention to books about Christianity and Catholicism. The recent books by Anne Rice which are religious in theme include Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt (2005), Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (2008), and Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession (2008 - autobiography). The other books by Anne Rice which are not previously mentioned include The Feast of All Saints (1979), Cry to Heaven (1982), The Master of Rampling Gate (1982 - vampire short story), The Vampire Lestat (1985 - Vampire Chronicles), The Mummy (1989), The Witching Hour (1990), The Tale of the Body Thief (1992 - Vampire Chronicles), Lasher (1993), Taltos (1994), Memnoch The Devil (1995 - Vampire Chronicles), Servant of the Bones (1996), Violin (1997), Pandora (1998), The Vampire Armand (1998 - Vampire Chronicles), Vittorio the Vampire (1999), Merrick (2000 - Vampire Chronicles), Blood and Gold (2001 - Vampire Chronicles), Blackwood Farm (2002 - Vampire Chronicles), and Blood Canticle (2003 - Vampire Chronicles).
A number of books by Anne Rice have been published as modern leather bound editions. All of these books are vampire titles and include Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, and Memnoch the Devil published as a set by the Easton Press. The Franklin Library published two signed first editions by Anne Rice including Vittorio the Vampire (1999), and Merrick (2000). Both of the Franklin editions were hand signed by Anne Rice as part of the signed first edition series, and the first 3000 Easton Press Vampire Chronicles sets included a copy of Interview with the Vampire which was hand signed by Anne Rice.

These retro vintage St. Patrick Cutouts are are absolutely positively adorable. Decorate your door or walls with these St. Patrick Cutouts for the St. Patrick's Day holiday. Each of the St. Patrick Cutouts are printed on one side, and show different St. Patrick's Day scenes. One scene is of a lady in her green bonnet playing her Irish instrument. One scene is of a gentleman in his green top hat admiring his three leaf clover. Once scene is of a little leprechaun with pointy ears and a green shamrock hat. One gentleman is wearing a green derby hat and is smoking his pipe. Look, the pipe smoke is in the shape of a shamrock. The St. Patrick Cutouts are made of cardstock material.
I like the artistic vision of these cutouts. They will be used to decorate for a Concert by the Chesapeake Choral Arts Society.

Jumping rope is involved in three main activities: Jump rope competition, jump rope training for fitness and sports conditioning, and jump rope for the game of skipping (usually in grade school).
I'm almost numb to some of these suggestions that I would even use steroids.
Jump rope competition is practiced on a competitive level world-wide. Athletes compete in individual and team events. In freestyle routines, jumpers have a set time limit to demonstrate a combination of skills; in many competitions these are choreographed to music. During the speed events, athletes must complete a determined amount of successful jumps within a particular amount of time. For example, the world record for 30 second speed is 188 jumps. In July 2004 Brisbane, Australia hosted the World Jump Rope Championships. Belgium, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, and the United States of America each medalled. The 2006 World Jump Rope Championships was held in Toronto, Canada in mid-July. The 4th Asian Rope Skipping Championship was held on February, 9 2007 at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, India. Jump rope exhibitions are also frequently staged at events such as festivals, charity functions, and sporting half-time shows.
Though many believe jump rope is a simple, fun activity, others consider it a sport. Serious jump rope athletes train rigorously year-round. Jumping rope takes immense strength, endurance, focus, and patience.
USA Jump Rope (USAJR) is the main organized jump rope organization in the United States. USAJR is composed of hundreds of jump roping teams throughout the country. These teams perform at high school and sporting events, take part in competitions, and attend workshop training camps throughout the year. USA Jump Rope has a national all-star team which travels across the country and the world sharing information and promoting the sport.
Two competing jump rope organizations once functioned in the US: the International Rope Skipping Organization, and the World Rope Skipping Federation. IRSO focused more on stunt-oriented and gymnastic/athletic type jump rope moves, while the WRSF focused more on the aesthetics and form of jump roping. These two organizations have now merged into the USAJRF, which was recently renamed USA Jump Rope to fit the trend of other Olympic and Olympic-hopeful sports. USA Jump Rope holds various regional competitions and a national competition at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Competing teams consist of children aged five to seventeen and older.
On October 12, 2006 50,000 skippers (most of them children and teachers in primary schools) skipped for 30 seconds in 335 schools in The Netherlands. Videos, pictures and on-line-articles can be found at the Netherlands Rope Skipping Portal.
On March 24, 2006 a mass participation record was set in the United Kingdom and Ireland. 7,632 children skipped continuously for three minutes in 85 different locations across the country. This was part of a joint effort to re-introduce skipping into schools by the The British Rope Skipping Association and Skipping Workshops. This record has been accepted by Guinness World Records.
Jumping rope is an activity not only suited for competition or recreation, but also for a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 1300 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15-20 minutes is enough to even burn off the calories from a candy bar.
Jumping rope can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs. Jumping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork have made jumping rope a popular form of exercise for athletes, especially boxers and wrestlers. Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper jump rope technique is relatively simple compared to many other athletic activities. The exercise is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels.
This is where both feet are slightly apart and jump at the same time over the rope. Beginners should master this technique first before moving onto more advanced techniques.
This style consists of using alternate feet to jump off the ground. This technique can be used to effectively double the number of skips per minute as compared to the above technique.
This method is similar to the basic jump with the only difference being that while jumping, the left hand goes to the right part of the body and vice versa for the right hand.
To perform a double under, the participant needs to jump up a bit higher than usual while swinging the rope twice under his feet. It is possible to have the rope swing three times under the feet (triple under). In fact, in competitive jump rope, triples, quadruples ("quads"), and quintuples ("quins") are not uncommon. To be competitive in the United States, a male above the age of 15 would need to be able to do more than 200 triples in a row.
There are many more difficult jump roping tricks that combine two or more of these techniques to make a single trick. These combinations can also be used in Chinese Wheel, Double Dutch, and Long Rope.
The leg under x is a complicated trick where the jumper puts the left hand under the right leg and the right hand over the left leg.
Many other variations are possible, including: "skier", a side-to-side jump keeping the feet together; "bell", a front-and-back jump keeping the feet together; "scissors", a jump putting one foot forward and the other back, then switching back-and-forth; "jumping jack", a jump putting the feet apart and then together; and "can-can" a jump with one leg up and bent, followed by a jump with both feet on ground, followed by a jump kicking the foot out.
Children often chant jump-rope rhymes while jumping rope. These can range from pure nonsense to comments on current events. Participants may simply jump until they tire or make a mistake, they may improvise tricks, or they may have to carry out a predetermined set of tricks. People also practice solo jump-roping for exercise. There are hundreds of different tricks/techniques of skipping rope.
The Rope Skipping Federation of India is hosting the 2007 Asian Rope Skipping Championship.

Hiperion, a private equity fund specialized on turnaround investments, will manage "Playa Sol Hotel Group", the main hotel group in Ibiza. Playa Sol manages 50 hotels & more than 10,000 occupancies, employing over 1.500 people. The good location of these establishments on the most touristic areas of Ibiza, coupled with the 15% of the island market share, even more in places like D' Bossa Beach, make this hotel group a strategic company for Ibicean touristic sector. Thanks to the good prospects for 2011 season, it's expected to exceed a turnover of 45 million €. Currently 40% of the income come from internet reservations while the 60% remaining are generated in wholesale agencies and tour operators.
Because of the judicial intervention since May 2010, Hiperion has been legally authorized after an eight months period of analyzing and negotiations and had the approval of the main trade unions and creditors thanks to the relevance for the island economy.
This transaction entails a €20M injection of funds for developing the feasibility plan for the next years.
Hiperion will incorporate a new management team that will be headed by Joaquin Sola (an ex member of NH Hotels) and financial and sales department will be reinforced according to the viability plan.
Among the main objectives in the strategic plan, are considered the hotel's improvements to increase the supply quality as well as employers training. For these reasons Hiperion is thinking of the importance of investing efforts and the introduction of significant changes in the group management, in order to ensure a constant better service and quality improvement.
These changes of the course have just put into action with a whole quality plan and complete makeover, even a new website, www.playasolhotelgroup.com, that expects to intensify the hotel group position in the net.
Hiperión Capital is a Spanish private equity fund focused into turnaround and special investments founded in 2009.


Business angels are the most important source of informal capital for entrepreneurial firms. But if you are a first time founder you probably have little or no network to business angels and do not know what you are looking for. So where do you start? Well, let´s start easy by understanding some characteristics and motivations.
If someone asked me I a definition about business angels would tell him or her that they are high-net-worth individuals who typically invest in small private firms on their own account. They provide small and medium-sized enterprises with with "smart capital". First, they provide the entrepreneurs with the necessary initial capital requirements. Second, they offer their knowledge, business skills and network to the young company. They do so by actively following the company's strategy and decision-making process and even sometimes by obtaining a board seat. This largely stems from the fact that business angels often have managerial and entrepreneurial backgrounds and want to be in an active role.
Taking an active part in a company's story is one of the key characteristics of business angels. I am certain that every investor wants to receive a good deal and is interested in high returns, but angels invest in companies not only for the financial returns. Sure some have a purely economic investing approach, but hedonistic and altruistic investors are more common than you think. The economic investor would focus on the highest ROI expectations and perceived risk, whereas hedonistic investors focus on enjoyment aspects of investing and do not have high ROI expectations.
Finally, altruistic investors see their investing as supporting new businesses and socially benefitting the community. A study of the French angel association found that the feeling of adding value to a company and adventure/fun clearly outweigh the motivation of generating a profit. The study identified "Feeling of value added (34,5%)" as most important factor followed by "adventure/fun" (27%), "helping to start a new enterprises" (12,7%), "contribution to local economic development" (10,5%), "profit" (7,8%), "other reasons" (5,6%), and "finding an entrepreneurial working place for himself" (1,9%). Take a moment to think about this. From an entrepreneurs perspective you might not have to offer the best financial deal, but the possibility to contribute and have a more active part in your company.
So who are these individuals investing smart capital into young companies? Business angels are dominantly male. In the US 95% of all business angels are male, in the U.K. 99% and in Germany 97%. On average they are between 40 to 65 years old. Typically, business angels have gained a university diploma or professional qualifications. The American Securities and Exchange Commission defines a business angel as a natural person whose net worth excesses $1 million, generates income exceeding $300,000 or a joint income with a spouse of at least $300,000 in each of the two most recent years. In the USA one-third of the angels has a net worth of at least one million dollars and in Great Britain around 19%. Interestingly, around 25% of all angels have financial backgrounds. So if you were looking for a date on an online platform put your settings to a 40-65 year old male with a university diploma that works in finance or has an entrepreneurial/managerial background. Obviously there are always exceptions to the rule, but this will be the average kind of person you are dealing with.
There is no exact number to start looking for. Your business and financial planning should be the indicator for this. Studies show that a minimum of £10,000 per deal is invested in the U.K. and typically less than £100,000. In the US, the majority of angel investments ranges from $50,000 to $150,000 with a median of $75,000, but can go up to $250.000. Also, due to time involvement, legal costs and other factors be prepared to give up a sizeable part of the business. There is a reason that most venture capital funds take more than 10% of a companies share. The same holds for business angels.
You know by now that business angels are private individuals that invest their own money, so they take personal financial responsibility. Consequently, one should assume that they conduct in-depth due diligence and are experienced investors, but they cannot conduct the same due diligence as professional funds do. The high legal costs or due diligence for technological assessment would not be justified by the small investment amounts. Further, founders often think that the majority of deals is done by well-known business angels or so called super angels. In reality however, the average angel invests 2-5 times over his lifetime and does a deal every 18-24 months. Accordingly, they usually have little investment experience and limited investment capacity compared to venture capital firms. Two exceptions are super angels (more than 5 investments) or angel syndicates (a group of angels sharing deal flow, resources, network, costs, etc.).
Now when it comes to business angels' strategies or in other words how angels select companies, there are some common factors as market size, team, product, etc. Nonetheless, two factor, which you cannot change about your business should be on your list. First, they invest in industries they know or have personal experience in. Second, they focus on businesses close to their location. So, talk to angels that have background in your industry or are close by. Remember that angels want to take an active part of your company and your journey. Face-to-face meetings are essential.
The most dominant impact in terms of measurable support of an angel is shown to be resource acquisition. There is significant evidence that angels overcome funding gaps. The key learning from an entrepreneur's perspective is that you should leverage your angel´s network when looking for follow-up funding. Always.
Now it is time to get in touch, but where and how you wonder? Most angels prefer to read a two to three-page summary business plan and than get personal face-to-face meeting. The goal is to find out whether they like the entrepreneur in the first meeting. The majority of business angel investments are based on trust in the entrepreneur or trustful advisors in their network. One could even argue that deals are purely relationship-driven.
Still no idea where to start?

The news about the large majority of the Polish Sejm (parliament) approved ban ritual slaughter in the country are highly gratifying, a highlight of this year and respect the wishes and demands of the overwhelming majority of the population. They give the impression of a functioning democratic culture, according to the will of the majority to decide, not the special request of small minorities in Aufoktoierung intolerable ethical transgressions that the neither in the respective constitutions, nor in cultural heritage are anchored. Human rights are not divisible and extend to the majority, who have the claim, mentally unharmed to shape their lives and also the theocracy, including animal sacrifices vehemently opposed.
Once again, the media expose in unison, as the only opinion-4 Violence in the reporting by downplaying, almost in belittlement, the harrowing process of Schächtprozesses inherent in the system as tools of advocacy worst, willful, cruelty to animals, so they meet the expectations and demands of archaic practices, allegedly by the one and the other god, one of ten thousand gods are desired and, indeed, seen as a condition of Descending Grace to be proved in retrospect by believers as indispensable as a basis for life. The devout individual torments God's creation to the death and the reward expected in return with the entry into securitized one of the paradises.
The decision was controversial, was "divisive" the Polish people. An insult to the religions and their representatives. Threats of resignation to initiate the revision of the referendum. Million of asset lost unforgivable. (Cruelty to animals as a commodity) The reference to the constantly sharp knife, the only relief should not be missed. (The individual may decide whether the knife or razor blade gives precedence for their own throat. Time to think and imagine) A violation of "freedom of religion". Unforgivable. Racist. Also, the nail gun is similar to animal torment. So therefore any kind of anesthesia. The tenor of the efforts of the media is known and will not be deepened here. In contrast, a stock quote - "The decent people have chosen."
No religious law of the Jews and the Muslims committed them to eat meat. Many religious laws both believers commit to conserving the living beings. The EU trade and imports of animals tormenting products prohibited by law in response to the demands of the member populations and embarked on the path to an animal welfare policies. Mandatory housing conditions for so-called "livestock" has been adopted and are in the enforcement process. Animal welfare has arrived on the political scene of all EU Member States. All Member States have adopted animal protection laws. Animal welfare has become a political demand in election disputes. Schächtverbote have been in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Poland, Netherlands, enforced. Wells is banned in Turkey and is voluntarily performed in Lebanon just after anesthesia. Shafts is also banned in Germany, but is tolerated well received by the federal government against those own laws. Contrary to the wishes of 86 percent of the population. A referendum would lead to the prohibition act without delay.
The sheep was fixed with chains and turned Supine. The throat and the neck were cut with a long knife, so that the head lost his footing and fell backwards. The blood rushed from veins and arteries, but clotted very soon, so that had to be trimmed to get the blood stream. It was recut six times. After fifteen minutes, the sheep was shot to his feet and unleashed. The head snapped back to the original position. The sheep stood on trembling legs and immediately began to tend towards the exit of the room, where it collapsed at the door and died.
"Toughened butcher the institution refused to carry out these tortures."
A terse description of the ruched Schächtvorgangs. Physiologically, the process is complex dar. The brain is supplied by arteries in the neck area is located to the collapse of the circulatory system with sufficient oxygen and ceases to operate only when the neck wound from no blood appears, ie. the process of bleeding has served its purpose. Until the final moment of death, the brain reacts unchanged. That is, the victim, nothing more is it, the process is fully aware to the end.
This documentation, among others, a myriad of others, were brought to the media for 20 years continuously noted. The continual downplaying are subject to the conscious intent to deceive.
Doner is halal. Consequently Schächtfleisch.
