A prostitute residing in one of the Cathedral Ward's darker corners, Arianna is a living testament to the old adage, "Beauty is only skin deep."
Her elegant appearance belies a personality as blunt as a bludgeon, and her very blood bears striking similarities to that which was once forbidden by the Healing Church. You can speak to her at her home in the Cathedral Ward as soon as you reach the area, but she won't be seeking sanctuary until after you defeat one of the three bosses accessible from this part of Yharnam. Return to her after defeating the Witch of Hemwick, the Blood-starved Beast or Vicar Amelia to inform her of a safe (or not-so-safe) haven; you'll need to send her to the Oedon Chapel in order to access the remainder of her questline. Beware that once Adella arrives at the chapel, she will become jealous of Arianna and kill her after you receive blood from her five times in Adella's presence. If Arianna survives to the end of the game, she'll move to the abandoned room below the Oedon Chapel Library after you defeat Micolash in the Nightmare of Mensis; killing the nearby Celestial Child will get you a One Third Umbilical Cord, but will cause Arianna to die as well.
Cathedral Ward, in alleyway near the round plaza. Arianna offers dialogue from indoors. She will move to a safe place when told about one.
Cathedral Ward Oedon Chapel, after telling her about this safe place and later she will move to the Oedon Chapel Basement.
Iosefka's Clinic 1st Floor [in form of Small Celestial Emissary], after telling her about this safe place.
Speak to her after defeating the Witch of Hemwick, the Blood-starved Beast or Vicar Amelia and tell her about the clinic, causing her to move there and ending her quest.
Speak to her after defeating one of above mentioned bosses and direct her to the Oedon Chapel to enable further interactions with her when she arrives there.
Speak with her in the Oedon Chapel to receive a vial of her unique blood. You can return for another vial after using first one and reloading the area.
If you receive five vials of Arianna's blood while Adella the Nun is present in the chapel, Adella will murder Arianna next time you reload the area, failing her quest.
When the Blood Moon comes out. Arianna will become afflicted with a mysterious condition and will be unable to provide any more blood.
After defeating The One Reborn, Arianna's condition will worsen.
After defeating Micolash in the Nightmare of Mensis, Arianna will be missing from the chapel and you'll find a trail of blood leading to the rear door. Climb down the ladder from the basement library and you'll find her in the abandoned room below. The pink Celestial Child will drop an all-important One Third Umbilical Cord when killed, but kill it will instantly result in Arianna's death.
When Arianna is killed by Afflicted Beggar, he will reward you with 2x Beast Blood Pellet.
You have to send Arianna to the safe place before the Blood Moon. Once Blood Moon came out, you will get message from her door "No response".
After Adella kills Arianna you can see blood on her gloves literally catching her red handed.
Arianna's condition during Blood Moon is described in the note found in Byrgenwerth: "When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child."
But I'd take it over the stench of blood and beasts any day.
I'm off during hunts, so if that's what you're here for, I'll leave you to your own devices.
If that doesn't do it, come back in the morning, darling.
But I'd take it over the stench of blood and beasts any day.
I'm off during hunt and besides, this is no place for ladies.. hehe hah..
Oh, thank goodness. You're a hunter, right?
Might you know of a safe place?
Please, there must be some nice place to run off to?
Oh, thank you, darling. Maybe I'll see you there!
Well, if you do find a safe place, do be a dear and tell me.
Around here you are the only one I can turn to.
Ah, hello there! Come to see me?
Have you found any safe places?
Oh, there you are! Not too safe here after all, is it?
I'd like to tender my thanks, but I haven't much to offer.
All I can give is my blood, but would you even take whore's blood?
Yes, I see. I suppose that's natural.
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you.
Unless you've had a change of heart?
Oh, good. Come close, dear.
Sorry dear, you're much too eager.
I've only so much blood, okay?
Back for more of my blood, I presume?
Oh, hello dear... You weren't lying. This is a safe place.
Thank you. I'm in your debt.
I'd like to tender my thanks, but I haven't much to offer... All I can give is my blood.
But... would you even take a whore's blood?
Don't worry, this isn't the first time.
Oh, you! I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help.
Unless… you've had a change of heart?
Yes, of course! I'm sorry, I ask too many questions.
I'm very thankful for what you've done.
Don't worry, I've done this before.
Oh, good. Come close dear.
Oh, hello. The whole town's turned, has it?
Quite a big family now, aren't we?
Back for my blood, I presume?
I see. Well, come again whenever you please.

Q: How can I create a drive in Windows backed by a custom storage? I have a use-case where I need to make a block of storage (think any cloud based storage provider or a Database) available as a Windows drive.
I am happy to do the coding but haven't got a clue where to start.

A: you have to work with Windows Drivers SDK, there are some samples online about this, something "similar" but not 100% saem as what you need is teh RAM drive implementation whcih creates a new drive which uses RAM memory as storage,
have a look here for some source code you can compile in Visual Studio and to see how you have to setup/prepare your machine for Windows drivers development.
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/storage/ramdisk

A: See this question:
creating virtual hard Drive
You would need to create a folder location, probably somewhere in the user's folder tree and map the drive as in the answer in the above link. Then use that folder to sync files with your cloud storage. I doubt you'd want to have the files in memory as you may end up with a drive containing gigabytes of data.

Jupp Heynckes has been named Germany's Coach of the Year for 2017/18 after coming out of retirement to steer Bayern Munich to their 27th Bundesliga title.
The 73-year-old, who took temporary charge of Bayern for a fourth time in October 2017, claimed the prize ahead of Schalke counterpart Domenico Tedesco and his successor - a DFB Cup winner with Eintracht Frankfurt last season - Niko Kovac.
"I'm really delighted to be voted Coach of the Year by sports journalists," Heynckes said. "My biggest compliment, however, goes to those who didn't vote for me because there are so many good young coaches in the Bundesliga, guys who are no less deserving of the honour - and, of course, Christian Streich at Freiburg."
Heynckes oversaw 41 matches in all competitions after replacing Carlo Ancelotti as coach. Bayern were five points adrift of Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund at the time, but went on to wrap up the title with five games to spare, finishing some 21 points clear of their nearest challengers Schalke.
The Munich giants also reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, losing to eventual winners Real Madrid 4-3 on aggregate, and the DFB Cup final.
"It's particularly nice that an older coach has won the prize at a time whens there's almost an obsession with youth," said Bayern president Uli Hoeneß. "He turned what was quite a difficult situation on its head."
It is the second time Heynckes has been named Germany's Coach of the Year. The emeritus tactician previously won the award after guiding Bayern to an historic Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Cup treble in 2012/13. He holds the record for most Bundesliga appearances by a player or coach (1,038 matches).
Former Bayern midfielder Toni Kroos - a 2018 Champions League winner with Madrid - won the Player of the Year prize. Freiburg striker Nils Petersen and Schalke defender Naldo came second and third respectively.

Don't think I've posted this before but a short five minute video take off, around the patch and landing with my L16 at our little airport in Strum, Wisconsin. The airport is owned by the flying club and we rent space (presently .12 square foot) to hangar owners. Seems to work pretty well.
I think I saw it before. I watched it again. Good stuff!
Very nice Mike, looks like a beautiful morning in your valley.
Very nice,Mike. I would favor a little more coverage of the leading man and the bird itself though. Jim G, Being just a plain ole hillbilly, if that is the valley, how far do you have to look to see the points where the valley ends ?
Actually, it is a long valley (Beef River Valley) that pretty much runs southwest to the Mississippi about 40 miles away. The farm fields were worked up and planted when the video was shot and are getting green now....especially with all the rain we've had lately although nothing like where Jim lives in Twin Cities. I understand they've had over 10 inches in June. We've had about 6 or 7. I want to shoot another video further south of town in the hill country but it takes almost 3 hours to upload anything on 'youtube' with our pokey DSL.
When I flew into Oshkosh last year I had the camera all set up and ready to shoot from Ripon-Fisk-and 'landing on the dot'. Once I got to Ripon I was so excited about keeping track of where I was I forgot to turn the camera on .
It's a really shallow valley, nothing like in "Gods country" in Pennsylvania, at least that's what my friend from Pennsylvania always called it.


My introduction to inshore fishing was a day beyond my wildest dreams. My Regional Vice President was asked to film a segment for a regional fishing show with two Redfish tour professionals. As luck would have it, he had a scheduling conflict and asked me to fill in for him. Eagerly, I accepted and spent days dreaming about the adventure before me.
"The Bulls hit like their namesake and increasing to a 3' 40lb. mono leader will give a better chance of landing these dinosaurs!"
I spent about 8 hours casting and retrieving along dozens of stops throughout Titusville, Florida's Mosquito and Indian River Lagoon flats and caught nothing more than a sunburn...and about 8 hours of tips from the professionals. I didn't catch a single fish that day in 2007, but I caught something much more significant; the inshore fishing bug! That experience was enough to fuel my desire and shortly after I landed my first Redfish, igniting an eternal flame for inshore fishing.
About two years after that first trip, I joined a friend on an inshore trip and learned how to catch Redfish with cut bait. We landed a few gorgeous slots (slots are Redfish 18"-27" in length and legal to keep) and it was on. With the new techniques I had learned, I sought a return trip to Mosquito Lagoon and landed some serious Bull Redfish. Next were some awesome trips to the tidal waters of coastal Savannah, then back to the Indian river Lagoon, Sebastian Inlet, the Banana River, the St. Johns River, Palm Coast, St. Augustine. As I said, I caught the bug!
"I cast multiple lines and fish as many as five at a time off the bow and stern of the boat, in both shallow and deeper flats."
Redfish are a diverse group. While the same species, fishing for Reds calls for various tackle and bait depending on the location and time of the year. For sight fishing in and around Mosquito Lagoon, I use lighter tackle and my Shimano Stradic 4000, which is a bit larger than rigs most anglers will use. I have that reel spooled with 15lb. Power Pro Slick, and it sits on an old 7' Redbone medium action spinning rod.
I like that rig for the lagoon because it seems like I can cast a Voodoo or DOA shrimp a mile without additional weight. The larger spool makes retrieval easy and fast - I can fish that rig all day. I also carry two Shimano Solstice 2500, spooled with 12lb. Power Pro and fastened to a Star Aerial, 6-12lb., 6'6" spinning rods. Sometimes I bring along a Daiwa combo or one of my other spinning combos on 6-12lb. Contour rods. Any of these rigs are great for sight fishing and casting artificial baits for Reds.
I have had some memorable catches with the above mentioned artificial shrimp, as well as with Gulp Rootbeer or Pearl shrimp. I also like Z-Man and Exude soft plastics on DOA CAL heads, Gotcha and Z-Man heads. Recently, I have been turned on to Christmas Tree colored paddle tails, which seem to be the latest hot ticket!
There are thousands of anglers who know the lagoon better than me, but I have had my best luck in the lagoon early mornings within 1-2 hours of daybreak and with a little wind and ripple on the surface. Mosquito lagoon Reds are skittish and easy to spook. I have found on those dead calm days I see more fish running for cover than chasing baits.
If you're fishing this same water, please be respectful of the no-motor zones. Plan for a long day as poling the flats does not make for a quick morning trip out and back to the ramp.
Equally enjoyable and a bit less technical, is fishing for Red beauties with cut bait. The pal I mentioned earlier got me hooked on using cut Ladyfish and Mullet, heading to the soft side of Spoils Islands or Causeways and letting them sit.
"I suggest mixing different baits and techniques to determine your own favorite baits, lures, and methods!"
When using cut baits, I usually rig my lines with Owner 2/0 and 3/0 circle hook pre-rigs as they are quick, easy to rig and dependable. These rigs use 20lb. and 30lb. monofilament leader and small, strong swivels. I carry dozens of additional hooks from sizes 1/0-4/0 for replacements. Unless I find myself in a strong current, I fish these rigs with a good 2" chunk of bait and no weight.
I cast multiple lines and fish as many as five at a time off the bow and stern of the boat, in both shallow and deeper flats. Sometimes, I will set two or three on the bottom and then cast an artificial Shrimp or shad around. I also will sometimes use frozen or live Shrimp, but frozen Shrimp seems to assure me a higher number of Catfish and Puffer Fish, neither one a species I'm after.
When using live Shrimp, I will fish slightly deeper water, 2-6', and set up half my rods with popping corks of any sort. Cajun Thunder, Thunder Chicken, DOA, and any other popping corks work well. I still fish multiple lines and cast, pop a few times, and then let them set. These rigs usually land Trout and almost always Ladyfish, which are a blast to catch and such great bait to take right back towards the Spoil Islands and chunk for more Reds!
When the Bull Reds are in the lagoon or the inlet, I use slightly heavier rigs; 4000 series spooled with 30lb. Power Pro on a Medium Star Aerial or Black Tip rod. I have a mix of Penn Fierce, Battle, and Spinfisher reels in this size range and all perform very well. I recommend using larger chunks, 3-4" chunks of Mullet, Ladyfish, or half a Blue Crab, and step up to a 4/0 Owner circle hook or a similar Eagle Claw or Mustad hook. The Bulls hit like their namesake and increasing to a 3' 40lb. mono leader will give a better chance of landing these dinosaurs!
When fishing the more turbulent waters of the Sebastian inlet, I will cast net for greenies (Threadfin Herring/Sardines), Mullet, or Pinfish instead of the cut bait. Then I rig with 3-4oz. leads. Two dozen live greenies and a good anchor will give you a few of the best hours ever on a fall day outside the jetty at Sebastian!
Each of the methods above will work when fishing around docks and seawalls. I have some favorite spots in the Indian River where I can sink my Power Pole Dig-in Anchor and cast baits to docks on both sides of the boat, float a few live shrimp off the transom, and prepare for chaos. I suggest mixing different baits and techniques to determine your own favorite baits, lures, and methods!
Dan Matarazzo fell in love with fishing at the age of five while fishing at his family's summer home on Silver Bay in Green Island, New Jersey. When he was 11, his family moved to Melbourne, Florida where fresh water fishing opportunities were plentiful. He was introduced to offshore fishing about 23 years ago when he began accepting offers to join West Marine customers on their offshore day trips. Immediately he was hooked and began sharpening his trolling skills by attending seminars, listening to tackle industry professionals, and learning from West Marine customers and employees. In 1995, Dan landed a Wahoo weighing in at 90.25lbs! It was the largest Wahoo caught out of the Sebastian Inlet in almost 20 years. It would be 12 more years before someone else broke that record.
Eleven years ago, Dan was introduced to inshore fishing for Redfish, taking most of his fishing activities from offshore to inshore. He has fished throughout Florida's East and Gulf coasts as well as the Georgia coast in pursuit of Redfish and Trout. In 2013 he became the owner of a Sea Hunt BX22BR bay boat allowing him to support both his inshore and offshore passions. Dan fishes almost 50 days of the year and over the past few years he has caught more than a dozen Wahoo! Many anglers fish for years without being able to land one of the elusive Wahoo.

BP has formed a partnership with Virent and Johnson Matthey to commercialise a process that produces paraxylene from biological sources, rather than traditional fossil fuels.
Virent's BioForming technology, which is being developed with Johnson Matthey, uses aqueous-phase reforming technology and modified catalytic processing to convert aqueous carbohydrate solutions, including sugar sources from corn mills, into mixtures of 'drop-in' hydrocarbons. These can be processed in traditional plants to produce fuels and chemicals.
BP is interested in commercialising the process for producing bio-paraxylene, which would be used as a feedstock for the manufacture of purified terephthalic acid (PTA). This in turn is used to produce polyester fibres and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
BP is contributing technical resources and has exclusive rights to negotiate becoming the sole manufacturer of bio-paraxylene, using Virent's technology.
Charles Damianides, BP's Vice-President of Petrochemicals Technology and Licensing, said: "We consider Virent's technology to be the leading route to commercial quantities of renewable bio-PX".
The partners have not given a date for when they expect the commercialisation to be complete.
Dave Kettner, President of Virent, said: "We have been working with JM to scale up the BioForming process for production of renewable fuel and are very pleased to enter into this agreement with BP to commercialise the technology for production of bio-PX and bio-PTA.
Eugene McKenna, Business Development and Innovation Director at Johnson Matthey, said the agreement is an important step in increasing the quantity of renewable feedstocks for the production of fibres and packaging.

William of Ockham
William of Ockham (also spelled Occam, Hockham, or a number of other ways) was a fourteenth-century English philosopher and Franciscan friar known for his opposition to Thomas Aquinas's "medieval synthesis" of faith and reason and for his tendency to argue the principle of simplicity, often referred to as "Ockham's razor" even though he was not the only nor the first philosopher to use it. Little is known about William's early life. He is said to have been born in the small village of Ockham in Surrey, England sometime between 1285 and 1288. He was given to the Franciscans as a young boy and was sent to London to be educated. The Franciscans in London were well respected for their educational institution. Ockham began his theological training sometime around 1301, when he was in his 20s. By 1318, he was studying theology at Oxford, but he did not complete the program and returned to the Franciscan convent. His writings and views were controversial, and around 1323 he was accused of teaching heresy. A dispute arose between the Franciscans and Pope John XXII over Apostolic poverty, and William was asked to study the issue. His conclusion was that the pope was the heretic. He was excommunicated in 1328 and died in Munich in the late 1340s. Pope Innocent VI rehabilitated Ockham in 1359.

You can use multiple remotes at the same time but they need to be powered up in the correct sequence.
Connect 4X AAA cells to the transmitter and keep transmitter in power off state.
Make sure the control board and receiver (Black coloured small box) are properly connected as per the photo.
Check LED status on receiver. Power LED should be on and rx LED should start blinking.
Turn on power on the transmitter and check status on the receiver RX LED. Once the transmitter and receivers are linked the RX LED will stop blinking and stay in ON state continuously.
In any case the receiver is not connected retry using power switch on the transmitter. Also the same procedure can be used to link delinked receiver and transmitter when the receiver goes out of range.
If there are multiple transmitters and receivers on at the same time please make sure you power them in correct sequence. Once a pair is linked it will work at the same frequency and frequency will only change if there is only one delinked receiver which is powered and on another frequency.
How can we program the one without motor controller? What is its range ?
its a nice controller, I really love its combo function. But I was thinking is it programmable?

RIAA apologizes for threatening letter
The Recording Industry Association of America apologizes to Penn State University for sending an incorrect legal notice of alleged Internet copyright violations.
By Declan McCullagh | May 13, 2003 -- 11:42 GMT (04:42 PDT) | Topic: Security
WASHINGTON--The Recording Industry Association of America apologized Monday to Penn State University for sending an incorrect legal notice of alleged Internet copyright violations.
The notice and subsequent apology appears to mark the first time that a faulty notification has been made public. The incident also shows just how easily automated programs that search for copyrighted material can be fooled, as well as how disruptive such notices can be on college campuses.
Last Thursday, the RIAA sent a stiff copyright warning to Penn State's department of astronomy and astrophysics. Department officials at first were puzzled, because the notification invoked the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and alleged that one of its FTP sites was unlawfully distributing songs by the musician Usher. The letter demanded that the department "remove the site" and delete the infringing sound files.
But no such files existed on the server, which is used by faculty and graduate students to publish research and grant proposals. Matt Soccio, the department's system administrator, said that he searched the FTP server "for files ending in mp3, wma, ogg, wav, mov, mpg, etc., and found nothing that would precipitate this complaint."
Except, that is, when Soccio realized two things. The department has on its faculty a professor emeritus named Peter Usher whose work on radio-selected quasars the FTP site hosted. The site also had a copy of an a capella song performed by astronomers about the Swift gamma ray satellite, which Penn State helped to design.
The combination of the word "Usher" and the suffix ".mp3" had triggered the RIAA's automated copyright crawlers.
In an e-mail sent after a query from CNET News.com, the RIAA said a temporary employee had caused the notice to be sent. "We have withdrawn, and apologize for, the DMCA notice that had been sent to Penn State University in error. In order to safeguard against errors like this one, we have individuals look at each and every notice we send out. In this particular instance, a temp employee made a mistake and did not follow RIAA's established protocol, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We are currently reviewing any other notices this temp may have sent."
The RIAA confirmed that its policy does not require its Internet copyright enforcers to listen to the complete song that is allegedly infringing.
By way of additional apology, the RIAA said it will send Peter Usher an Usher CD and T-shirt "in appreciation of his understanding." An RIAA spokesman noted that the RIAA has sent out "conservatively tens of thousands of notices" in the last five years and that this incident to be the first error that has been discovered.
A representative of Penn State said Monday afternoon that the university accepts "that this was an honest mistake by the recording industry." Spokesman Tysen Kendig said Penn State "remains committed to working closely with the RIAA and other law enforcement entities" to take actions against the trading of copyrighted material. Penn State President Graham Spanier, who testified before Congress in February about online piracy, is the co-chairman of a working group that includes the entertainment industry.
The flap at Penn State occurred as the RIAA has stepped up its enforcement efforts against peer-to-peer users on campus. It recently sued four college students for running programs that create a searchable index of files on a local area network; the students settled the suits by paying $12,000 to $17,000 each to the RIAA. It has also used the messaging features built into Kazaa and Grokster to
Under section 512 of the controversial DMCA, a representative of a copyright holder can send a "takedown" notice to a university or other Internet provider, requesting that copyrighted material be removed. Anyone receiving a false notice can sue for damages and attorney's fees, but only if the sender "knowingly materially misrepresents" information.
Cindy Cohn, legal director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said that portion of the DMCA gives too much leeway to copyright holders. "If you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright holder under copyright law, that's the only standard you have to meet," Cohn said. "You can't be liable if you're wrong unless you knowingly and materially misrepresented (the information). I think the situations where there will be liability will be very small."
Cohn said the RIAA's apology is the first time that an incorrect DMCA notice has become public.
Peter Meszaros, head of Penn State's department of astronomy and astrophysics, said "there are strict and well-advertised guidelines" about using the department's computers, and that "infringements are reported to the central Penn State computer security office, which handles any breaches, if and when they occur."
According to department policy, faculty members and graduate students may place files on the FTP site, but undergraduate students have access only with a faculty member's sponsorship.
Soccio, the department's network and information systems manager, said he had been worried that the server would be yanked from the network during the middle of Penn State's final exams last week. "If our site was shut down as this was being investigated, I wouldn't even be able to have a conversation with you because (there would) be so many people in my office wanting to know when it would be back up," he said.
The RIAA's notice went to the university's central computing office, which told the department to delete the material or "we will need to disable access to the machine hosting the infringing song." The central office then notified the department. Soccio said: "The swiftness of the activity the university wanted to take just around finals time scared the living daylights out of me. I'm just glad the university took my word for it that we weren't violating copyright law."
Now, Soccio said, he's writing a letter to his members of Congress opposing the DMCA and will post it in the department for signatures. "I'm loath to think that our educational resources and years of valuable resources can be jeopardized just because some kid in a dorm room is downloading copyrighted material," he said. "That's not a price that society should have to pay."

HomeArchaeological SitesDodoni
The sanctuary of Dodoni, the religious center for northwestern Greece, closely related to the cult of Zeus, father of the gods, lies in the narrow valley east of Tomaros. Dodoni was also known for its famous oracle, traditionally considered the most ancient one in Greece and referred to by Homer in his epics. Herodotus (2.52) relates a myth regarding the establishment of the sanctuary, narrated to him by the sanctuary's priests on his visit to Dodoni: two black pigeons, the peleiades, flew from Thebes in Egypt, one of them landed in Libya, where the temple of Ammon Zeus was subsequently erected; the other one reached Dodoni, where it sat on an oak tree, Zeus's sacred tree, and spoke in a human voice, indicating the spot where the god's oracle was to be built. By observing the rustling of the leaves on the sacred oak tree and the flight of the birds nesting in it the priests interpreted the god's will. The oracles were based on the murmuring of the waters from the ancient spring and on the sound produced by bronze cauldrons standing on tripods around the sacred tree. According to ancient sources, the priests of the oracle were originally only men, but priestesses, the so-called Peleiades, appear in later times. The priests and priestesses were famous for walking barefoot and for sleeping on the ground so as to be in immediate contact with the earth.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the area was occupied since the Bronze Age. The earliest cult was probably dedicated to the Earth goddess or to another female deity related to fertility. The cult of Zeus, brought to Dodoni by the Selloi, a tribe from Thesprotia, soon became the main cult. Zeus Naios was worshipped together with Dioni, his wife, according to local tradition. Later, the cult of Aphrodite, their daughter, was also introduced, together with that of Themis. Dioni and Themis were worshipped as 'naian gods' – that is, gods who shared the same house (synoicous) and temple (synnaioi) as Zeus.
Originally the sanctuary was outdoors, and various ceremonies were performed around the sacred tree (sacred oak or Fagus), in which the divine couple, Zeus and Dioni, resided. Offerings, such as bronze tripods, statuettes, jewelry, and weapons, from southern Greece, reached the sanctuary as early as the eighth century BC, indicating that settlers from Greek cities were colonizing the shores of Epirus. Dodona, however, did not witness the intense building activity of other famous sanctuaries, such as Delphi, Olympia, and Delos, during this period, probably because it was isolated from the rest of Greece and far from all major commercial routes. The sanctuary remained outdoors, and the sacred area of the tree was defined by a kind of enclosure formed by bronze cauldrons.
The first signs of building activity date to the early fourth century BC, when the first small temple of Zeus and three Ionic stoas were erected. The enclosure of the Dodona acropolis, further north, dates to the same period. The sanctuary thrived in the third century BC under King Pyrrhus (297-272 BC), who gave it its monumental character. The rest of the temples and the sanctuary's most impressive buildings, including the theatre, the bouleuterion, the prytaneum, and the stadium, which hosted the Naian Games held in honor of Zeus, were all erected during this period. The sanctuary was destroyed by the Aetolians in 219 BC, but was soon reconstructed and functioned again until 167 BC when it was destroyed by the Romans. It suffered again in 88 BC under Mithridates VI Eupator, King of Pontus, and his Thracian warriors. The sanctuary was reestablished in the Roman period, although with a different character, and its theatre was converted into an arena, which Emperor Hadrian visited around 132 AD. The oracle and festivities in honor of Zeus continued to attract worshipers until the fourth century BC. Christianity, however, gradually replaced the old religion, Christian basilicas were erected inside the sacred precinct, and the sacred oak was cut down

The Capitals won the Stanley Cup – a huge moment for D.C.
By Sam Schlesinger, Published on Jun 12, 2018
Last Thursday night the Washington Capitals won the 2018 Stanley Cup. Excitement ensued in the nation's capital and Alex Ovechkin is still partying somewhere in D.C. The Caps had been stymied in the playoffs year after year and haven't been able to overcome eastern conference foes like the Pittsburgh Penguins or the New York Rangers. Ovechkin had never made it out of the second round in his career. This year was different. Despite being down at some point in every single series, the Caps were the best team on the ice this postseason. Once they got past the rival Penguins in the vaunted second round, it was as if a giant weight was lifted, and they made a mad dash to the Cup.
Let's take a look at how meaningful this Stanley Cup win actually was.
This is the Washington Capitals first ever Stanley Cup
The Caps entered the league in 1974. In their first eight seasons, they did not make a single postseason appearance, but since the 1982-83 season, they've only missed the playoffs seven times in the last 35 seasons, and only once since 2007. They've been a successful franchise during the regular season with minimal postseason success. Before this year, they made the finals one other time, in 1998, but were swept by the Detroit Red Wings. The Caps are now the third major sports franchise in the last year to win a championship for the first time in franchise history. The Houston Astros won their first World Series in baseball back in October, and the Philadelphia Eagles won their first Super Bowl in February (the Eagles have won championships before but not since the Super Bowl era began in 1967).
Alex Ovechkin's Legacy
Ovechkin was drafted with the first overall pick in the 2004 NHL draft. Since then he's been one of the most decorated players in the league; with the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year), three Hart trophies (MVP), seven Richard trophies (leading goal scorer), a Ross Trophy (leading point scorer), and 11 All Star game appearances. He's dominated the league since he entered it, but the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy (MVP of the playoffs) have always been missing from his trophy case, and he's been heavily criticized for it. As the Caps continued to "choke" every year in the playoffs, many believed Ovechkin would join Dan Marino and Karl Malone on the list of "great ones without rings," but he changed that narrative this season. He won't ever be looked back on as a great talent who could never win it all. He finally validated his arguable reputation as "the best player in the league."
A Win for Washington D.C.
Washington D.C. has a team in all four of the major sports leagues; the Redskins in the NFL, the Wizards in the NBA, the Nationals in the MLB, and the Capitals in the NHL. Until now, however, the city had been bereft of a championship for 26 years. The last one came when the Redskins won the Super Bowl in 1992. D.C. sports fans have grown accustomed to disappointment year after year and have become numb to the pain of their under-performing teams. But after the Caps bested the Penguins in six games just a couple weeks ago, it's as if a fire was lit under the entire city. These were uncharted waters. D.C. hadn't had any team in a conference championship since the Caps were there in 1998, and a brand new excitement took hold of D.C. fans. When the Caps brought the Stanley Cup home, it reinvigorated the entire fan base and gave the city a reason to celebrate.
What's next for the Caps?
The Caps have made it as far as the second round of the playoffs four years in a row and should retain the base of this championship team, with the exception of possibly losing John Carlson in free agency. After lifting their second round curse this year, they have the pieces in place to defend their trophy for the next two to three years while Ovechkin rides out the latter years of his prime.


Comprehensive social protection programmes are increasingly recognized as effective mechanisms to address poverty and inequality, and protect the most vulnerable families and children. Following the 2008 endorsement of the African union's Social Policy framework for Africa, momentum has grown among African governments to invest in and implement social protection programmes. however, the scale and adequacy of these programmes does not match the widespread poverty, deprivation and vulnerability in the region.
Building on this momentum and commitment, the African Child Policy forum (ACPf) is seeking further opportunities to promote concrete measures that will contribute to expansion of comprehensive and effective government-led social protection programmes that benefit children.
The 6th International Policy Conference (IPC) has chosen the theme of Social Protection in Africa: Making it work for children. It builds on the social policy framework (SPf) commitments of the African union (Au) and the recommendations of the Au experts' and ministers' meetings held in April and may 2014, and intends to address gaps and residual concerns impeding the further expansion of social protection programmes.
The IPC brings together multiple stakeholders, including government representatives, international partners, civil society organizations (CSos), academics and the media. It invites them to reflect on specific analysis and experiences, and to agree a way forward for accelerating collective efforts. reflecting on earlier Au recommendations and focusing on specific areas considered relative priorities, ACPf aims to contribute new analysis in order to promote dialogue and a set of actions that will move social protection efforts in Africa to a higher level.
The role of CSos in supporting and strengthening national social protection programmes.
