Paintball has become a revered past time and sport for a large number of enthusiasts. Tournaments are held where players run around in the muck and hope to paint their team to victory. Besides the thrill and fun paintballing can bring, however, there exists an underlying issue–the environment. With corporations and cities taking the initiative to turn themselves green and reduce their carbon footprints of the environment, sports like paintball should follow suit.
Paintball product designers are heading in the right direction already. The pellets themselves are made of a biodegradable mixture to ensure that it can be washed off by the rain naturally. However, their pellets and a few other methods could be taken to ensure that paintball limits its impact on the environment as much as possible. This article will discuss a few of those possible methods.
As discussed earlier, the pellet is made of a biodegradable gelatin that will dissolve with time. However, the paint inside of the pellet can at times be questionable. Cheaper pellets sometimes use an oil-based fill. This oil can damage the environment, not to mention any animal that might find a few dropped pellets on the ground and eat them. Only buying the pellets that have PEG (or polyethylene glycol) as a filling.
In addition, the pellet is made of food-grade materials, which is excellent for those who might accidentally get some paint in their mouth. However, it is extremely toxic to both cats and dogs. If it is lethal to those animals, it is very likely to be lethal to other animals as well. As such, pellet designers should develop a new filling that is safe for both accidental human and animal consumption.
While tournaments can be held within a building, the thrill for many players is using the outdoors as a battlefield. Tournament hosts need to be prepared to take care of the battleground in question since it is an organic species and not a synthetic one. Littering at paintball tournaments is notorious with a lot of players and spectators all crowding in to watch the action. A lot of people means a lot of trash, and that waste tends to end up on the ground.
To counteract this, those who are hosting the tournament should be sure to have a numerous amount of trash bins that are stationed throughout the battleground and the spectator area. These bins should also be emptied regularly to ensure that there is always room for more trash to be placed inside. Common sense will win the day in this regard.
Batteries are a staple in paintball, and even entry level paintball guns work best when they carry a full charge. Players know all too well that if their batteries aren't fully charged, they'll lose out on the game. Batteries require a certain form of recycling, and because that might cost the host more money in the long-run, using rechargeable batteries could be the path forward. While there have been some issues with rechargeable batteries in the past, designers should make their paintball guns suitable for these form of batteries, or make them rechargeable-battery-powered-only to encourage players to use a power source that has less of an impact on the environment. Who knows, maybe solar-powered paintball guns will be the next revolution?

Food Poisoning: How Long It Lasts + What to Do When You've Eaten Something Bad
Most cases of foodborne illness will pass on their own
Turns out, taking a chance on those leftover chicken salad sandwiches that had been sitting out on the free table at work all day wasn't such a great idea.
Now you're home with dreaded food poisoning, splitting time between the couch and the bathroom.
While we think of food poisoning, or foodborne illness, as one thing, it's actually a broad term that encompasses more than 250 kinds of disease-causing germs, including Salmonella, E. coli and rotavirus. And those germs can cause varying degrees of nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, depending on a number of factors.
Gastroenterologist Christine Lee, MD, answers some commonly asked questions about how to get through a bout of food poisoning.
Q: How do you get food poisoning?
A: You get food poisoning from eating or drinking food that is contaminated with pathogenic viruses, bacteria, toxins, parasites or toxic chemicals. It doesn't always come from rotten or spoiled food. It could come from perfectly good food that was just improperly handled or cooked.
Q: How long does it take food poisoning to set in after you eat something contaminated?
A: It depends on what the culprit is, how much was consumed and a person's individual immune system. For example, common food poisoning like Bacillus cereus can set in within 6 to 16 hours. But there are some foodborne illnesses that are latent, meaning they have to reproduce in your system and get into a large load. Hepatitis A virus, for example, can take 15 to 50 days to present.
But in general, most common types take 4 to 24 hours to set in.
Q: How long does food poisoning last?
A: That also depends on the individual. In general, 1 to 10 days, but it can be longer in some circumstances.
Q: Can food poisoning give you a fever?
A: Yes, viral or bacterial food poisoning can sometimes produce fever.
Q: What should you eat during food poisoning?
A: It's best to stick to a BRAT diet. That would be things like bread, rice, rice pudding, applesauce, toast and bananas. Something bland. Or chicken noodle soup.
You want to stay away from food that is more challenging for your digestive track to digest, like greasy, fried or spicy foods.
You want to drink lots of fluids, and not just water. Water is isotonic. If you're ill and you're losing a lot of water through diarrhea, or if you have a fever and you're sweating, the best replenishment isn't exactly water. It really should be a not-isotonic fluid. That would be something with salt, sugar or electrolytes in it, like Gatorade, broth, ginger ale or juice. When you consume that kind of fluid, you tend to keep it in your body — it's less likely to just run off or go straight to your kidneys where you'll urinate it out or you have diarrhea output.
Consult your physician if you have a medical condition that limits your sodium consumption, such as heart, liver or kidney disease.
Q: What can you take for food poisoning?
A: Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol®) is generally fine to take. It has soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. But be aware that it will turn your stool to black due to the bismuth. (This is normal but can be alarming if you're not expecting it!)
I would not recommend taking something like loperamide (Imodium®) to stop diarrhea, as it's better to expel the toxin out of your system rather than keeping it in.
Q: Should you go to the doctor if you have food poisoning?
A: For most of us with healthy immune systems, we can usually recover from food poisoning on our own. As long as you're able to keep food or liquids down, then you can try to hydrate at home and let it run its course.
But if your nausea is so severe that you're unable to keep any fluids down, you need to seek medical help. IV fluids can be administered for hydration and to replete lost electrolytes. You should also see a doctor if you develop a high fever, bloody diarrhea or extreme pain.
For people who are on immunomodulating drugs or medications that suppress the immune system, or who have medical conditions that suppress the immune system, I recommend seeking immediate medical attention.

Here is the common situation of many startups. They have no money, but they have to do marketing.
What's to be done? Instead of focusing on costly marketing methods, such startups must focus on low-budget marketing hacks.
The beauty of growth hacking is that it engages alternate methods of growth, methods which are sometimes lower cost.
Where marketing and engineering meet, growth hacking happens.
Obviously, growth hacking isn't free. Strictly speaking none of the techniques in this article are "free." Anytime you involve people, employees of the company, there will be payroll and associated costs.
But here's why these methods are so powerful. They don't require a huge marketing budget. All you need is some time, some savvy, and the kind of focused and driven perspective that smart marketing requires.
To rank well, a website needs high-quality backlinks. Where do you get these backlinks? Obviously, buying links is not advised. What should you do?
If you've built partnerships with service providers or business partners, you have an instant source of untapped link potential. Reach out to these service providers and ask them to link to your website.
You gain a few nice links,and all it cost you was a few minutes of emailing.
Another great way to get links and boost your site authority is to look for unlinked mentions of your brand or company name.
If you find such mentions in online publications or websites, email the site editor and ask them to provide a link. You might discover plenty of brand mentions all over the web.
A quick search and a few emails later — presto. Free backlinks. The good kind.
Free webinars introduce your brand and product to a wider audience. The more appealing the topic, the better you'll attract interest.
Webinars take time. You've got to brainstorm topics, plan the webinar, and spread the word. The benefits, however, are top-notch.
One explosive method of marketing that some companies use is cross-promotion. Cross promotion allows you to partner with related businesses who can market your services, in exchange for your marketing their services.
It's a win-win, and apart from a signed document and an easy conversation, doesn't require much work at all.
Identify the top 5 blogs in your niche.
Read and comment on the blogs on a regular basis.
As people see your name and associated brand, they become familiar with it and perhaps even curious about it.
Occasionally, you're going to come across some newsworthy information in your niche or business. Sign up for Help a Reporter Out (HARO). It's a free service that reporters often use to find stories. If you have a story you can help a reporter out, and gain publicity.
Google+ is one of the web's foremost places for building brand exposure. Google uses your business information to form a web presence in Knowledge Graph boxes and wider indexation.
The better your Google+ profile, the better your brand will be featured and published organically across the web.
Don't neglect the opportunity to market in person. You'll meet great people in person whom you may never come across online.
Every person you meet is another marketing possibility. Obviously, you don't want to go around shoving your business into people's faces, but as the issue of work comes up in conversation, tell them about it.
The whole idea of networking is basically marketing. You get to introduce other people to your business live and in person.
As much as they've been sullied and scammed, online contests are still a great way to get low-cost marketing publicity. Giving away the cliche iPad, cash prizes, or other merchandise is an easy way to gain some viral potential and improve your brand's image.
The best forms of marketing are those that you can set up, turn on, and they grow — organically, automatically, and without too much effort. A referral program or affiliate program may not work for every business, but it's worth a try.
Creating an affiliate program essentially turns your customers into a de facto marketing department. You don't spend marketing money unless they first make a sale on your behalf.
Twitter is a killer marketing platform. With its instant reach and massive output, Twitter can produce high levels of referral traffic, plenty of brand exposure, and nonstop social buzz.
What I suggest is following at least ten influencers in your niche, following their followers, retweeting their tweets, and mentioning them in comments. As you associate with their platform, you'll begin to build your own platform.
Marketing back at your own customers is relatively easy and low-cost. The benefits are extraordinary.
Within every industry are a group of power players. They control the conversation, shape the contours of the market, and reach a huge audience.
Make these people your friends. You don't need to be schmoozy about it. You can be direct. Providing them with a product or partnering with them on a project are simple and mutually helpful ways to grow your brand and ride their wave of influence.
Hashtags are the billboards of the Internet. Since hashtags are now available on every major social platform, you can create a hashtag for your business and use it everywhere you post.
A hashtag is a searchable and interactive extension of your brand, and has the potential to spread virally.
Growing your email list is one of the most enduring and effective methods of marketing. I suggest using Hello Bar as a simple and cost-effective way of harvesting more addresses.
Everyone knows that content marketing is effective for inbound marketing. If you're not careful, however, content marketing can be expensive. How can you gain more content without blowing your entire marketing budget?
The answer is user-generated content. Motivate your existing fans and customers to tell their own story and write content, and you'll instantly open the floodgates to tons of fresh and engaging content that your audience will love. Your fans will be creating and sharing content for you.
Customers and fans love to be loved. The way you show that love is by retweeting, favoriting tweets, liking the comments, and sharing their status. Don't simply expect that your social media presence is going to work for you. You have to work for it, by talking to your fans.
They will return the favor, and engage at a deeper level.
Press releases have past their heyday as an SEO tool, but they still hold sway in marketing. If you use a source like PRWeb, you'll be out a few hundred bucks anytime you pop out a press release.
A source like PRLog.org, however, is free of charge. The amount of syndication you get may not be as high quality, but it's something. And, hey, it's something for nothing.
Just be sure to write very high-quality releases, and nofollow any links back to your website.
Craigslist is the 59th most popular website in the world. Airbnb, valued at 24 billion, used Craigslist to skyrocket its growth. You can use Craigslist, too. Try using Craigslist's geographic focus to target specific areas and markets.
Make sure that you're complying with the site's terms of service. Use Craigslist in the way that it was intended. Violators will be banned from the site.
I can't create list of marketing techniques without mentioning blogging. A business blog is an indispensable strategy for online marketing. Use it, work at it, and make it work for you.
If you're frustrated with the current condition of your business blog, read these 35 tips that will make it better. If you're struggling with traffic, read this post.
If blogging is awesome, then guest blogging is doubly awesome. When you post an article on another blog, you are instantly gaining that blog's audience. The cost of guest blogging is free, less the time you spend. Create a killer article, appeal to the blog's audience, and you may be invited back to contribute more.
I've used guest blogging with incredible success. My 300-and-counting guest blogs are still paying me back in terms of referral traffic, leads, and customers.
LinkedIn is free, and yet it gives you incredible marketing opportunities. Many professionals use LinkedIn as static social media tool — a place to put up their resume, and not much else.
LinkedIn is so much more than an online resume. I've used LinkedIn to publish content, connect with powerful people, and build a marketing group with thousands of members.
All of this cost me zero dollars and zero cents, but the marketing upside has been incredible.
Obviously, you're not a charity; you're a business. But why not give away a product, an hour of your time, or a membership for a customer who can't afford your services?
Some of the best business opportunities I've had were consulting gigs with customers who couldn't pay. These opportunities have been beneficial in ways that I couldn't have predicted.
Even today, I give away virtually all of my content without charge. Doing so is fulfilling for me personally, and it provides an opportunity for improved marketing.
Marketing doesn't have to break your bank, blow your budget, or cost you thousands of dollars. Like I mentioned in the beginning of this article, marketing can require nothing more than the investment of time.
Chances are, you can increase your marketing presence today by implementing one of these methods. Pick one and run with it.
What is your favorite no-cost marketing technique?

Q: Check if a value is duplicate in a group of values in Google Sheets I have a table where I have many rows with their ids in groups of 2, and another column with one value associated that can be there ("X" value) or not:

ID
Flag_value

A
X

A

B
X

B

C

C
X

D
X

D
X

What I want to do is to check if there are any cases where the X value is associated to the same ID twice. In this case, this only happens for D (both of the ids have an "X"), but not for A,B or C. Having a lot of rows, is there a way of doing this with a formula? Many thanks in advance!

A: You may try:
=unique(filter(A2:A;map(A2:A;lambda(z;countifs(B2:B;"X";A2:A;z)))>1))

Q: Using Kendo with Backbone and RequireJS How do I initialize a Kendo.observable in a modular Backbone application that uses Require.JS? This is all new to me and it feels like swimming in mud.
My MAIN.JS file looks like this:
require.config({
    paths: {
        jquery: 'libs/jquery/jquery-min',
        underscore: 'libs/underscore/underscore-min',
        backbone: 'libs/backbone/backbone-optamd3-min',
        kendo: 'libs/kendo/kendo.web.min',
        text: 'libs/require/text',
        templates: '../templates'
    },
    shim: {
        kendo: {
            deps: ["jquery"],
            exports: "kendo"
        },
    }
});

require([ 'kendo', 'app' ], function(kendo, App){
    App.initialize();
});

And in one of my views I'm trying to create a Kendow.observable:-
define([
    'jquery',
    'underscore',
    'backbone',
    'kendo',
    'text!templates/newUser.html',
], function($, _, Backbone, kendo, newUserTemplate){
    var newUserView = Backbone.View.extend({
...
            var viewModel = kendo.observable({
...

Do I need to shim Kendo? I've got AMD versions of jQuery, Underscore and Backbone, so I don't think I need to shim these.
Do I need to define kendo.observable in the view? If so what should the definition look like?
And how do I instantiate Kendo controls?
Thanks - I'd really appreciate any help I can get with this.

A: Well I haven't yet used Backbone so I don't know much about it. I do use a lot of Kendo and I know there is Kendo-Backbone integration project on GitHub that got some atention so maybe that can help?
https://github.com/kendo-labs/kendo-backbone
UPDATE: as for kendo and Require I shim it the same way you did, so that should be fine.


Pope Francis on December 16, 2017, received in the Consistory Hall of the Apostolic Palace a delegation of young people from Italian Catholic Action Youth (A.C.R.), for the exchange of Christmas wishes.
Once again this year, representing the Catholic Action Youth from all over Italy, you have come to bring Christmas wishes to the Pope. For me these are particularly joyful wishes, which you have decided to accompany with the fruits of your solidarity initiatives in aid of the poor and of the most disadvantaged people. I offer my heartfelt thanks for your gesture!
I am grateful also because, in this happy circumstance, you have updated me on your activities and initiatives, which demonstrate the vitality of Catholic Action Youth. In this regard, I would like to tell you that I greatly appreciate the meetings you have held this year – the 150th from the foundation of Catholic Action – to get to know better and to be closer to the "grandparents" of the Association. This is beautiful and important, because the elderly are the historical memory of every community, and hand down the heritage of wisdom and faith to be listened to, cherished and valued.
In your training program, with the slogan Pronti a scattare, "Ready to shoot", through the metaphor of photography you endeavor to focus on the decisive moments in the life of Jesus, to try to look more closely at Him, your greatest and most faithful friend. Looking at the life and mission of Jesus, we understand that God is Love. Therefore, be good "photographers", both of what Jesus did and of the reality that surrounds you, with attentive and vigilant eyes. Very often there are forgotten people: nobody looks at them, nobody wants to see them. They are the poorest, the weakest, relegated to the margins of society because they are considered a problem. Instead, they are the image of the rejected Child Jesus, Who did not find acceptance in the city of Bethlehem; they are the living flesh of suffering and crucified Jesus. So, this can be one of your tasks; first of all, ask yourself: to whom do I pay more attention? Only the strongest, those who are more successful at school, in games? To whom do I pay little attention? Who have I pretended not to see? Looking the other way … Here are your "peripheries": try to aim at the companions and the people that no-one ever sees, and dare to take the first step towards them, give them some of your time, a smile, a gesture of tenderness.
Dear children, be friends and witnesses of Jesus, Who came to Bethlehem in our midst. In this feast of the Holy Christmas that is near, you are called to make Him increasingly known among your friends, in the cities, in the parishes and in your families. Thank you again for your visit. I bless you with affection, together with your loved ones, with the educators, the assistants and all the friends of the A.C.R. Do not forget to pray for me. Merry Christmas!

After the death of Rep. Donald Payne Sr. in March, several Democrats have expressed interest in running to represent the 10th congressional district. Donald Payne Jr., Ron Rice and Nia Gill have all decided to run for the vacancy. Sen. Nia Gill sat down with NJ Today Managing Editor Mike Schneider to discuss her reason for running and why she's the best candidate for the position.
Gill called her decision a "necessary run" because there are no women in Congress from her congressional delegation, there hasn't been a Democratic woman in Congress in New Jersey in nearly 40 years and there has never been an African-American woman elected to Congress from the Garden State.
Gill blamed the party system for the lack of women elected to represent New Jersey in Congress. She said the power bosses are involved in the primary, which tends to decide the outcome of the general election since many areas are heavily Democratic or heavily Republican. "Women rarely are able to get the support that they need in order to be a successful candidate in the primary," she said.
Gill said she's run both with and without party support in the past and has won. She said her experience and her causes makes her the best candidate for Congress. "If you look at my record, I've been in the forefront in the state on the things that the late Congressman Payne did on the national scene," she said, citing a needle exchange bill and a tough human trafficking bill.


Fox News weekend host Jeanine Pirro's show didn't air a week after her comments questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar over her wearing a Muslim head covering. Pirro's show, "Justice With Judge Jeanine," was replaced Saturday night by other programming. The Fox News schedule for the upcoming weekend doesn't include the show.

Die Ralf Bohle GmbH ist ein deutsches Unternehmen, das Reifen und Schläuche für Fahrräder und Rollstühle unter den Markennamen Schwalbe und Impac produziert. In Europa ist Schwalbe nach eigenen Angaben Marktführer. Der Sitz des Unternehmens ist in der nordrhein-westfälischen Gemeinde Reichshof.

Geschichte
Das Familienunternehmen wurde 1922 gegründet und es wurden Fahrradteile aus europäischer Herstellung exportiert. Im Jahre 1955 stieg Ralf Bohle in das Unternehmen seines Vaters und seines Onkels, Eugen und Willy Bohle, ein. 1971 starteten der Vertrieb und Import von Fahrradteilen, die in Asien produziert wurden. 1973 begründete Bohle die Zusammenarbeit mit dem südkoreanischen Reifenhersteller Hung-A und die ersten Reifen der Marke Schwalbe wurden für den Verkauf in Deutschland versandt. In den 1990er Jahren wurde die Produktion als Joint-Venture mit Hung-A von Korea nach Jakarta in Indonesien verlagert. 1995 wechselte die Ralf Bohle GmbH ihren Stammsitz von Bergneustadt nach Reichshof, Ortschaft Wehnrath, und bezog dort ein moderneres Logistikzentrum. Von dort aus leitet das Familienunternehmen fünf Tochtergesellschaften in England, Frankreich, Italien, den Niederlanden und Indonesien sowie alle weltweiten Vertretungen. Am 25. April 2010 verstarb Ralf Bohle im Alter von 75 Jahren.

Produkte

Schläuche

Bohle produziert unter der Marke Schwalbe sogenannte "Gruppenschläuche": Dies sind Schläuche, die viele verschiedene Breiten abdecken. Manche Schläuche decken außerdem auch verschiedene Durchmesser gleichzeitig ab. So gibt es z. B. einen Schlauch, der sowohl für 27,5-, 28- als auch 29-Zoll-Felgen verwendet werden kann. Die Schläuche sind in ihren Größen durchnummeriert. So trägt der Standardschlauch für ein 28-Zoll-Rad mit Breiten zwischen 28 und 45 mm die Nummer 17. Schläuche mit besonderen Eigenschaften oder für Sondergrößen tragen meistens ein Buchstabenkürzel hinter der Zahlenbezeichnung. Die verschiedenen Ventilarten sind außerdem auf den Verpackungen farblich differenziert: So sind Schläuche mit Dunlop-Ventil (DV) orange, mit französischem Ventil (SV) rot und mit Autoventil grün gekennzeichnet. 2020 wurde eine verstärkte Schlauchgruppe namens Air Plus vorgestellt, die eine 70 % höhere Wanddicke besitzt und die Luft bis zu 50 % länger halten soll. Außerdem wurde ein für Mountainbikes und Rennräder entwickelter Schlauch aus thermoplastischem Polyurethan namens Aerothan vorgestellt.

Reifen
Bohle produziert Reifen unter den Namen Schwalbe und Impac. Schwalbe-Reifen werden komplett in den Schwalbe-Werken in Jakarta, Indonesien, und Vietnam produziert. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Joint Venture mit dem koreanischen Familienunternehmen Hung-A. Jährlich werden mehr als 14 Millionen Reifen gefertigt.

Secrets of the Dead: World War Speed
Air date: 06/25/2019
Premieres Tuesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org/secrets and the PBS Video app
Stories about drug use by Hitler and German forces during World War II have been widely told. What's less well known is the Allied commanders' embraced pharmacological "force enhancers" as well. By 1941, rumors about Nazi soldiers using a "super-drug" identified as the methamphetamine Pervitin were confirmed, and Allied commanders launched their own classified program to find the perfect war-fighting drug.
During the war, one in three Allied soldiers were incapacitated without a physical scratch on them. Modern weapons and warfare proved so terrifying that almost as many men were shredded by combat fatigue and shell shock — now known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — as by bullets and shrapnel. Allied commanders believed Benzedrine, an amphetamine similar to Pervitin, was the answer, hoping the amphetamine would defeat not just the need for sleep, but anxiety and fear among troops. How this drug affected the course of World War II is an ongoing controversy.
In Secrets of the Dead: World War Speed, join historian James Holland on his quest to understand how the use of amphetamines affected the course of World War II and unleashed "the world's first pharmacological arms race."

Noteworthy Facts
Created in the 1930s by a German pharmacologist and manufactured by Temmler Pharmaceutical, the methamphetamine Pervitin was marketed for use by the general public using a campaign modeled on Coca Cola's global strategy. The stimulant was then given to Luftwaffe pilots to keep them awake and alive if their plane was shot down.
In May 1940, German troops under the influence of Pervitin had conquered Poland and were preparing for an attack against France. Ahead of the battle, 35 million Pervitin pills were delivered to 3 million Wehrmacht soldiers within 10-12 weeks. The Wehrmacht soldiers then managed to fight and march for 10 days straight, covering an average of 22 miles per day. The Wehrmacht were able to trap the entire British army on the beaches of Dunkirk in what is considered one of the greatest feats in military history.
For Allied soldiers, caffeine was the primary stimulant of choice. Coffee was so closely associated with American soldiers, also known as GI Joes, that the term 'Cup of Joe' became synonymous with the drink.
In 1940, the British army discovered Pervitin in a downed German plane in the south of England, unlocking the secret to the German troops' boundless energy, and leading the Allies to consider the same tactic for their troops. The Allied troops decided to use the amphetamine Both drugs make users intensely alert by flooding them with a sense of euphoria. With its added methyl-group molecule, Pervitin races across the blood-brain barrier a bit faster than Benzedrine. Otherwise, the two drugs have virtually the same impact.
Following the British victory in El Alamein, American soldiers entered into ground combat in North Africa in November 1942. The troops carried with them packs of Benzedrine after U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower orders some half million tablets for them.
The German Navy's mini-subs, used to torpedo Allied ships moving supplies and troops across the English Channel, required soldiers to sit in a confined space for 48 hours without sleeping or much movement. Searching for a solution to keep these submariners awake and alert, the German Navy tested out combinations of cocaine and methamphetamines by forcing prisoners of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to take the stimulant and carry sacks of rocks around its infamous shoe-testing track.
Following World War II, the usage of Benzedrine and Pervitin continued. By the 1950s, amphetamines were marketed as a diet pill and mood enhancer with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Jack Kerouac using the stimulants.
Buzzworthy Moments
To test whether or not the Wehrmacht soldiers needed Pervitin to pull off their stunning 1940 victory in France, James Holland and a group of fellow history fanatics recreate the plight of soldiers by attempting to cover 22 miles in a single day while carrying 60 pounds of combat load with only coffee and tea as stimulants.
In 1942, commanding officer Bernard Montgomery is brought in to Northern Africa to boost the morale of British troops fighting in the region. In the film, Holland discovers a document from Montgomery's medical officer, Q.V. Wallace, revealing that troops involved in the opening stages of the battle of El Alamein were given Benzedrine, providing evidence that orders for the drug came straight from the top of British command. The memo also makes clear that the British 24th Armored Tank Brigade soldiers were prescribed 20 milligrams of Benzedrine per day — twice the amount recommended to RAF pilots — prior to the second battle of El Alamein in Egypt.
Seventy years after going down in battle, a German Heinkel HE-1-1-5 bomber is pulled from a Norwegian fjord. The only aircraft of its kind ever recovered, the plane is remarkably intact and a rescue pack is found inside. A Pervitin pack is discovered, but dissolves when an attempt was made to clean it.
At the intersection of science and history, Secrets of the Dead uses the latest scientific discoveries to challenge prevailing ideas and throw fresh light on unexplained historical events.

Veritrust Financial, LLC (CRD #106594, Austin, Texas)
FINRA Mutual Fund and Negligent Supervision Arbitration Attorney, Russell L. Forkey, Esq.
September, 2011:
Veritrust Financial, LLC (CRD #106594, Austin, Texas) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which the firm was censured, fined $90,000 and ordered to pay $34,105.40, plus interest, in restitution to customers. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to the described sanctions and to the entry of findings that it failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system or WSPs reasonably designed to detect and prevent the charging of excessive commissions on mutual fund liquidation transactions. The findings stated that the firm failed to put in place any supervisory systems or procedures to ensure that customers were not inadvertently charged commissions, in addition to the various fees disclosed in the mutual fund prospectus, on their mutual fund liquidation transactions. The findings also stated that the firm's failure to take such action resulted in commissions being charged on transactions in customer accounts that generated approximately $64,110 in commissions for the firm. The findings also included that the firm had inadequate supervisory systems and procedures to ensure that a firm principal reviewed, and the firm retained, all email correspondence for the requisite time period; the firm failed to review and retain securities-related email correspondence sent and received on at least one registered representative's outside email account, and the firm did not have a system or procedures in place to prevent or detect non-compliance.
FINRA found that the firm failed to conduct an annual inspection of all of its Offices of Supervisory Jurisdiction (OSJ) branch offices. FINRA also found that the firm failed to comply with various FINRA advertising provisions in connection with certain public communications, including websites, one billboard and one newsletter, in that a registered principal had not approved websites prior to use; websites did not contain a hyperlink to FINRA's or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC)'s website; one website, the billboard and the newsletter failed to maintain a copy of the communication beginning on the first date of use; and sections of websites that concerned registered investment companies were either not filed, or timely filed, with FINRA's Advertising Regulation Department. In addition, FINRA determined that websites contained information that was not fair and balanced, did not provide a sound basis for evaluating the facts represented, or omitted material facts regarding equity indexed annuities, fixed annuities and variable annuities. Moreover, FINRA found that websites contained false, exaggerated, unwarranted or misleading statements concerning mutual B shares; the firm's websites and the billboard did not prominently disclose the firm's name, and a website, in connection with a discussion of mutual funds, failed to disclose standardized performance data, failed to disclose the maximum sales charge or maximum deferred sales charge and failed to identify the total annual fund operating expense ratio, and a website, in a comparison between exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds failed to disclose all material differences between the two products. Furthermore, FINRA found that the firm failed to report, or to timely report, certain customer complaints as required; the firm also failed to timely update a registered representative's Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) to disclose required information. The findings also stated that the firm failed to create and maintain a record of a customer complaint and related records that included the complainant's name, address, account number, date the complaint was received, name of each associated person identified in the complaint, description of the nature of the complaint, disposition of the complaint or, alternatively, failed to maintain a separate file that contained this information. The findings also included that the firm failed to ensure that all covered persons, including the firm's president and CEO, completed the Firm Element of Continuing Education (CE). FINRA found that the firm's 3012 and 3013 reports were inadequate, in that the 3012 report for one year was inadequate because it failed to provide a rationale for the areas that would be tested, failed to detail the manner and method for testing and verifying that the firm's system of supervisory policies and procedures were designed to achieve compliance with applicable rules and laws, did not provide a summary of the test results and gaps found, failed to detect repeat violations including failure to conduct annual OSJ branch office inspections, advertising violations, customer complaint reporting, and ensuring that all covered persons participated in the Firm Element of CE. FINRA also found that the firm's 3013 report for that year did not document the processes for establishing, maintaining, reviewing, testing and modifying compliance policies to achieve compliance with applicable NASD rules, MSRB rules and federal securities laws, and the manner and frequency with which the processes are administered. In addition, FINRA determined that the firm also failed to enforce its 3013 procedures regarding notification from customers regarding address changes. (FINRA Case #2008011640802).

Leafs' Auston Matthews snipes OT winner in dying seconds
Having already missed 14 games with a shoulder injury, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews wasn't going to let a little fatigue prevent him from jumping into the play for one last rush.
Rather than go to the bench with Kasperi Kapanen flying up the left wing, Matthews drove down the middle, received his teammate's pass and snapped a shot over Buffalo Sabres goalie Linus Ullmark's left shoulder to seal Toronto's 4-3 win with three seconds on the clock in overtime Tuesday night.
"Lucky to get it off with a little bit of time remaining," said Matthews, who scored twice and added an assist to give him five goals and seven points in three games since returning to the lineup. "I'm starting to feel more and more like myself."
That's bad news for the rest of the NHL, and good news for the Maple Leafs (20-8), who have won five straight and matched their best start to a season in 84 years. The only other time in took them just 28 games to reach 20 wins was when they opened the 1934-35 season at 20-6-2.
"It can only help when you add a player like Auston back in the lineup," Patrick Marleau said. "He's definitely a game-changer."
Marleau scored with 5:13 remaining in regulation to force overtime. Jake Gardiner also scored and Mitchell Marner had an assist to give him 11 in five games. Frederik Andersen stopped 38 shots to win his fourth straight.
Jack Eichel scored twice for Buffalo, which dropped to 0-2-2 since equaling the franchise record with a 10-game winning streak. Sam Reinhart had a goal and an assist, and defenCeman Rasmus Ristolainen set up two for Buffalo.
Ullmark stopped 26 shots.
"It's not easy right now, for sure. It's pretty disappointing," Reinhart said. "We've got to find a way to get back on the winning side of things and that starts Saturday."
He was referring to Buffalo getting three days off following a stretch of playing four games in six nights, including a 2-1 loss at Nashville on Monday.
The Sabres showed plenty of jump in outshooting the Maple Leafs 11-3 midway through the first period. And they showed resolve in the third period, when Eichel scored twice in a 10-minute span to put the Sabres up 3-2 with 7:03 remaining.
Buffalo was unable to hold the lead, though, as Marleau tied it 1:50 later when Morgan Rielly's shot from the left point went wide. The puck caromed to Marleau, who came out from behind the net and stuffed it inside the right post.
"Obviously, they get the extra point and it's frustrating, but give us credit," Eichel said, noting the Maple Leafs were off since a 5-3 win at Minnesota on Saturday. "They're sitting here waiting for us. It's not easy. And I thought we brought a lot of compete and effort."
After winning seven one-goal games during their 10-game streak, the Sabres have dropped four straight by one goal.
The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, have scored four or more in each of their past five games, and 16 times overall this season.
Leafs hoping Nylander 'hasn't missed a beat' either
Aside from Matthews' return, they're also prepared to welcome back forward William Nylander after he and the Maple Leafs finally agreed to a contract Saturday.
"Hopefully, he can do what Auston does and jump right in like he hasn't missed a beat," Marleau said of Nylander, a two-time 20-goal-scorer.
Nylander remained in Toronto where he skated on his own as he continues conditioning. There remains no timetable for when he'll play his first game.
Coach Mike Babcock said the Maple Leafs' impressive start is a reflection of the team's talent.
"We've got good young players and we think we're going in the right direction," Babcock said. "Now, we've still got to get a lot better to do what we want to do. So 20 wins is great. But we've got a lot of work to do."

Studie é uma empresa japonesa de tunin da BMW e uma equipe de corrida GT World Challenge Asia que participa da classe GT4. Costumava participar da classe Super GT300.

História
Studie foi fundada em 1995 em Yokohama como um revendedor e desenvolvedor de peças BMW. Atualmente, eles têm quatro filiais no Japão. Eles também fornecem suporte para equipes e indivíduos que usam carros BMW em esportes motorizados.

Participação da Temporada Super GT
Começaram participando da classe GT300 em Super GT desde 2008 (onde têm parceria com a Advance Step) com um BMW Z4 (E85), o primeiro carro BMW da história do Super GT.  No entanto, a cobertura da mídia vem principalmente de sua adoção de um tema Itasha (tema de personagem principalmente envolvido com personagens de animação ou mangá) em seu carro, que é ocasionalmente visto nas estradas do Japão, mas não comumente visto em circuitos, mesmo Studie não foi o primeiro faça isso.

O tema que eles usam em seu carro é Vocaloid, um software de sintetização de canto desenvolvido pela Yamaha .

Temporada 2008
Studie anunciou sua participação no Super GT em abril de 2008, usando o nome da equipe Studie GL @ D e Asuda Racing, que planejavam participar da corrida de Suzuka, Motegi e Fuji. para se ajustar ao regulamento de potência, eles trocaram o motor original por um S62B45 desafinado usado por um BMW M5 . Embora tenham recebido antecipações como sendo o primeiro carro BMW em Super GT (devido ao sucesso do Z4 em corridas menores do Super Taikyu ), a equipe surpreendeu a todos com o anúncio de sua adoção de "Itasha", que era desconhecida até duas semanas antes da corrida.

Eles estrearam na sessão de treinos em Suzuka 1000km, mas, forçados a desistir da corrida devido à violação do regulamento da parte de combustível. Eles também enfrentaram um problema de motor em Twin Ring Motegi que os obrigou a não participar da corrida. Eles iriam começar com sucesso sua primeira corrida em Fuji, terminando em 18 de 24 carros.

Temporada 2009
Studie participou de toda a temporada de 2009 (exceto Malayasia ) usando o nome da equipe Studie GL @ D Racing . Eles usam principalmente o mesmo carro, exceto pequenas mudanças de imagem de modificação nas três primeiras corridas. Eles pularam a corrida de Sepang para terem tempo de fazer uma grande modificação em seu carro, incluindo a troca de seu motor para o S65E40 que era usado pelo E92 M3 no ALMS . Bem como uma transmissão sequencial usada pela maioria das equipes.

A modificação foi um sucesso, pois eles conseguiram seu primeiro ponto de piloto na corrida Autopolis . Apesar de terem mostrado resultados impressionantes nos treinos e nas eliminatórias, eles também sofreram 3 desistências em sessões de corrida (das 7 largadas).

Temporada 2011
A equipe originalmente planejava participar como AS Studie Racing na temporada de 2010. Mas como um de seus principais parceiros, Advance Step, mudou-se para a série Super Taikyu com a Team Kyosho, eles não participaram naquela temporada, enquanto seu principal patrocinador, Goodsmile Company, mudou-se para a equipe de trabalho da Porsche COX Japan naquela temporada. No entanto, após o final da temporada de 2010, eles decidiram retornar à série como StudiexGSR, mais tarde eles fariam uma parceria com a TeamUKYO, uma equipe do ex-piloto de F1 Ukyo Katayama . Eles também convidaram Nobuteru Taniguchi, veterano do Super GT, que sua equipe anterior RE Amemiya retirou da série, para a parceria com Taku Bamba.

Eles usaram o BMW Z4 GT3 usado anteriormente pela Schubert Motorsport, que já havia se classificado em 4º na temporada do Campeonato Europeu FIA GT3 de 2010 e vencendo o Dubai 24 horas em 2011. Eles também mantêm a pintura estilo itasha, que é semelhante à usada em 2009.

Sua equipe classificou-se em 5º e 4º nas duas primeiras corridas da temporada, e eles participam de seu primeiro evento fora do Japão, no Circuito de Sepang, que é um memorial por terem terminado da pole até a vitória, ambas são a primeira vez desde a fundação da equipe . Eles iriam ganhar a Rodada 6 em Fuji, e a Rodada 8 em Motegi para concluir a temporada com um campeão de classe, tanto o primeiro campeão geral de JGTC / Super GT para a equipe quanto como carros BMW.

Temporada 2016
No anúncio da atividade do plano de esportes motorizados em 3 de março de 2016, o BMW Sports Trophy Team Studie passou a ser a equipe oficial de terceirização da BMW, mudando o nome da equipe para BMW Team Studie. O piloto da equipe é Jörg Müller que atuou no desenvolvimento do M6 GT3 e do Seiji Ara, respectivamente.

Além disso, nesta temporada, patrocinadores e manutenção também foram alterados. O patrocinador, também para além da Steiff que apoiou a equipa como principal patrocinador para isto, como "patrocinador principal duplo", marca que trata do sabonete e sais de banho populares para a mulher, é a Sabon. O planejamento da rainha da corrida da equipe Sabon de se tornar uma unidade Quirky até "MUSE (Muse)" agora chamada.

Eles usaram o BMW M6 GT3 para substituir o velho Z4 GT3 e receberam suporte adicional da BMW em colaboração com a BMW Japão este ano. E a garagem de manutenção muda de RS Fine para Eifel Motorsorts.

Massachusetts casino/hotel, VIP gambler in $20,000 dispute: report
Fox Business Flash top headlines for December 30
A high-rolling New Jersey gambler, who says he gets invited to place bets at as many as 30 casinos around the U.S. each year, claims nearly $21,000 of his money vanished during a recent stay in Massachusetts.
But officials at the MGM Springfield casino/hotel claim the gambler had already checked out of his room when he reported the incident, MassLive.com reported.
Richard Angelica claims he left $30,000 in his room safe when he left the hotel for a few hours to attend a New England Patriots football game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough – but when he returned he found that his hotel room key would no longer open the door to his room, the news outlet reported.
Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, is seen Sept. 12, 2015.
Hotel officials claimed he had checked out, the report said. When Angelica retrieved personal items left behind in the room, he found that $20,900 of his $30,000 was missing, he said, according to the report.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before," the semi-professional poker and blackjack player told the news site.
Angelica claims he and his brother-in-law arrived at the hotel around 9:30 a.m. Dec. 26, checked into their rooms, then soon boarded a bus to the football game. He said the arrangements were made by a hotel representative who deals with VIP customers.
Richard Angelica of New Jersey says he plays poker and blackjack at multiple casinos around the U.S.
When they returned to the hotel after the game, around 7 p.m., that's when Angelica discovered his room key no longer worked, he told MassLive.com.

Angelica claims he spoke to various employees and officials at the hotel but no one would explain why he was checked out of the room or who was behind the order.
The MGM Springfield declined to discuss the incident with MassLive.com but confirmed that the Gaming Enforcement Unit of the Massachusetts State Police was looking into the matter.
"We're working directly with law enforcement in the investigation of this claim," MGM spokeswoman Beth Ward told MassLive.com.

« Book Review: Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" by David Bianculli
Weekend Edition: 1-2 »
Hockey holiday
New Year's is starting to become one of my favorite holiday periods. That's because once again this year it was hockey heaven.
Let's start with New Year's Eve. At first, I was disappointed the Stampede did not have a home game, which has been a tradition. That did, however, allow me to watch Team USA play Canada in the last preliminary round game in the World Junior Hockey Championship. In what is already being called an "instant classic" and an "epic" game, Canada won 5-4 in a shootout. Hockey insiders love this annual tournament for players 20 and under. I love watching it not only because of its international flavor but there are invariably Team USA members I saw play in the USHL, are now playing college hockey and will be playing in the NHL.
The NHL had its third consecutive "Winter Classic" on New Year's Day. This year it was the Boston Bruins hosting the Philadelphia Flyers at Fenway Park. The setting and atmosphere for these nationally broadcast games have been amazing to date and Friday's was no exception. Not only was it a 2-1 overtime game, USA Hockey announced the American Olympic team immediately following the conclusion of the game.
National team flavor continued as the Stampede hosted one of National Development teams Friday night. Although the Stampede lost 4-2 to the Team USA Under-18 team, there was never a more than one goal margin until Team USA scored an empty net goal with about 30 seconds left in the game.
Saturday was back to the world juniors. Switzlerland upset Russia 3-2 in overtime, scoring goals in the last minute of the third period and the last minute of overtime. Then Team USA beat Finland 6-2 in a game that was much more tightly contested than the score indicates.
Sunday brought the World Junior semifinals as Canada played Switzerland and Team USA played Sweden. I missed the third period of the Canada game (which it won 5-2) and the first period of the USA-Sweden game because the Stampede played Fargo that night. Even though Fargo is only in its second year in the league, this is becoming a great rivalry. Despite a hardworking comback effort, the Stampede lost 6-5. Team USA made up for it though, beating the Swedes 5-2.
The hockey now will carry over into Tuesday. Team USA will try to prevent a Canadian six-peat in the gold medal game of the World Juniors. It will be broadcast live on the NHL Network at 7 pm (Central).
Oh my God, Marge. A penalty shot with only four seconds left. It's your child versus mine! The winner will be showered with praise; the loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore!

Finding genes to help fruit adapt to droughts
Researchers have conducted the first spatiotemporal study of the effects of prolonged water stress on tomato fruits

ITHACA, N.Y. — As climate change is expected to lead to more frequent periods of drought, researchers are increasingly working to make discoveries that can help plants adapt to prolonged water stress.
Researchers from Boyce Thompson Institute and Cornell University have completed the first study to provide a comprehensive picture of gene expression changes in response to water stress in a fruit – the tomato, Solanum lycopersicum – identifying genes that could help plant breeders develop fruit that can cope with drought conditions.
Published in the December issue of Plant Physiology, the work was led by the research team of Carmen Catalá, an assistant professor at BTI and a Senior Research Associate in the School of Integrative Plant Science (SIPS) at Cornell. Collaborating researchers include Jocelyn Rose, a professor in SIPS, and BTI professors Jim Giovannoni, Zhangjun Fei and Lukas Mueller, who are also adjunct professors in SIPS
"We identified a number of genes that are involved in water stress response in the tomato fruit," said Catalá. "We can now begin to select candidate genes that could help breeders develop fruit that can adapt to drought conditions, and not just tomatoes but also grapes, apples, and fleshy fruit in general. That is a long-term potential application of these data."
The researchers looked at gene expression in tomato leaves and six fruit organs (pericarp, placenta, septum, columella, jelly and seeds) at two different timepoints (growing and ripe fruit) and under four different water stress conditions (none, mild, intermediate and strong).
The researchers found that each of the fruit organ tissues changed in unique ways over time.
"Less than 1% of the expressed genes that were affected by water stress were shared among all six fruit tissues, and more than 50% of the affected genes were specific to a single tissue," said Catala.
In contrast to the negative effects of drought, which triggers physiological disorders and fruit loss, there are some positive effects associated with drought – at least with mild drought.
For example, the researchers found that water stress increases the amount of lycopene in ripe fruit. Lycopene is an antioxidant that has documented health benefits. Water-stressed fruit also had higher levels of starch biosynthesis, which could yield sweeter tomatoes.
The researchers also found that they could "train" tomatoes to be more resistant to future water droughts.
"When we sowed the seeds from treated plants, we found that the seedlings from stressed tomatoes showed improved recovery from water stress in comparison to seedlings from control tomatoes," said Philippe Nicolas, a postdoctoral scientist in Catalá's lab and first author on the paper.
Nicolas said they identified several genes whose expression is induced by water stress in mature seeds, which could play important roles in conferring water stress tolerance to the next generation of plants.
The study was challenging in a few ways because the researchers were looking at fruit. Most studies of plant responses to drought stress examine seedling roots and leaves because they are relatively easy to study.
"It is relatively easy to stress seedlings, but if you stress plants too much then they won't flower and develop fruit," Catalá said. "Plus, when you want to study fruit, you must grow adult plants, which takes more time, room and overall resources."

Wild tomato genome will benefit domesticated cousins
ITHACA, N.Y. — A team of researchers has assembled a reference genome for Solanum lycopersicoides, a wild relative of the cultivated tomato, and developed web-based tools to help plant researchers and breeders improve the crop. Solanum lycopersicoides (S. lycopersicoides) harbors a gene making the plant resistant to a particular strain of bacterial speck disease. The gene […]

20/20 Movie Reviews Home
Reviews: A-Z
The Prime Minister (1941)
Director: Thorold Dickinson
Cast: John Gielgud, Diana Wynyard, Will Fyffe
Synopsis: The life of Benjamin Disraeli.
Share this: on Twitter on Facebook on Google+
Watching this dismal movie was like being forced to watch educational programmes at school – dull, desperately boring, and seemingly interminable. Having said that, Thorold Dickinson's The Prime Minister seems to speed through Disraeli's career; episodic to such a degree that people age thirty years from one scene to the next, each episode is so short that it is impossible to become truly involved in the story. The film was obviously a war-time propaganda piece, and the symbolism is embarrassingly heavy-handed, even for the early Forties. The acting is adequate, although John Gielgud (The Elephant Man, Gandhi) sometimes hams chronically, especially as the elder Disraeli.

Rolling Stone joins Tubridy on Late Late
Originally Published / Friday, 22 Oct 2010
Wood - On tonight's Late Late Show
Infamous hell-raiser and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood will join Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show tonight to talk about his life and to perform live.
Also joining Tubridy to talk about her love affair with food is domestic goddess Nigella Lawson and Irish champion jockey Ruby Walsh opens up about his phenomenal career.
The winner of 'Ireland's Greatest' will be announced live on the show following a final impassioned plea on behalf of their heroes from each of the five advocates: Dave Fanning, Michael McDowell, Joe Duffy, Miriam O'Callaghan and David McWilliams.
Their heroes are Bono, Michael Collins, James Connolly, John Hume and Mary Robinson respectively.
Watch 'The Late Late Show' tonight at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.


West Coast are set to be boosted by the return of Andrew Gaff and Jamie Cripps for their AFL grand final rematch with Collingwood at the MCG next weekend.
Cripps underwent surgery on a troublesome toe injury over summer, but made it through a WAFL practice match on Saturday.
The 26-year-old will be further assessed during the week before a final call is made on his availability for the match on Saturday, but Eagles coach Adam Simpson is expecting a positive result.
"He got through some good minutes, so we think he'll be available for selection," Simpson said.
Gaff missed the opening two rounds of the season because of the suspension hanging over from his punch on Andrew Brayshaw last year.
That moment of madness cost Gaff the chance to play in West Coast's premiership, but the Victorian is finally free to return.
West Coast will enter the match brimming with confidence following their 52-point demolition of GWS on Saturday night.
The Giants won the inside 50m count 62-47, but West Coast's rock solid defence and awesome marking power across the ground helped propel them to the 16.8 (104) to 7.10 (52) win.
West Coast beat Collingwood by five points in an epic grand final last year, but Simpson says the team has well and truly moved on.
"I'm sure there'll be memories of last time we played, but the challenge is just as big as it was tonight," Simpson said after the win over GWS.
Giants coach Leon Cameron bemoaned his team's poor use of the ball, especially going inside 50m.
But GWS could be given an important triple boost ahead of their home clash with Richmond on Saturday.
Giants ruckman Shane Mumford is available after serving his club-imposed suspension, while Josh Kelly (hip/knee) is also set to return.
Mercurial forward Toby Greene (calf) will push his case for a call-up during the week, but Cameron will need some major convincing.
"Toby would play with a broken leg," Cameron said.
"We've got to make good decisions. I don't know what that is yet. I'll get through that halfway through the week.
"He overstretched late last week with about eight minutes to go ... he was just a bit tight on his calf.
"Last year we learned. He missed about 12 weeks in a row with his foot. That's not the issue (this time). His foot is fine.
"He's had 10 weeks of good training. But we've still got to make good decisions."

Radical Islamism and Jihad ( 3 Jan 2017, NewAgeIslam.Com)
We Have Daesh and We Have Israel
By Tariq A. Al-Maeena
Every time I see world figures solemnly commemorate victims of the terrorism of Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS), I want to shout out loud about another series of terrorist activities that has been going on before our eyes for almost seven decades.
That terrorism has been orchestrated by none other than the descendants of the Holocaust, who today form the Israeli government. Israeli occupation forces have been systematically murdering and maiming the innocent in Palestine for more than 60 years.
News about the crimes that Hitler committed against various groups during World War II did not travel very fast, as in those days there were no instantaneous broadcasts of live pictures and film illustrating the viciousness of the Nazi occupation. There was no international condemnation during those atrocities.
Today, we cannot forgive ourselves for keeping quiet. And we cannot be selective. Who can forget the tragic image of a father shielding his eight-year-old son, as Israeli forces callously shot him dead while the cameras were running? Or the image of Rachel Corrie, an American from Seattle who defiantly stood in the face of Israeli bulldozers, only to be violently crushed to death by the Caterpillar's blades?
Or the images of an eight-year-old girl shot in the head by an Israeli sniper out for target practice? Or of two children, one eight and the other 10 years old, who were slaughtered as they were playing outside their homes? Or four Palestinian children playing by the sea and mercilessly shot down by Israeli aircraft while Israeli civilians vocally expressed their glee? All this at the hands of Benjamin Netanyahu who, like his predecessor Ariel Sharon, is a man with war crimes coursing through his soul, and with no obvious intention to seek peace.
Does no one wonder about a monstrous and illegitimate wall being built in and around Palestinian land? In the face of objections from some quarters around the world, Israel continues to go ahead. Is this what you would expect as a peaceful overture from a government that does not hesitate to remind the world of the Holocaust, but continues to disregard most international calls for restraint?
From the killing fields of Sabra and Shatila in the 1980s, to the documented cases of ethnic cleansing in Jericho, in Jenin, in Bethlehem and a host of towns and villages across Palestine, the cries for justice ring hollow in the minds of Netanyahu and his henchmen, as they continue to remind the world of the first Holocaust and demand collective guilt.
In 2012, Hagit Ofran of the Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now denounced Netanyahu's government for encouraging and legitimizing new settlements "in a deceitful way." She said, "The Israeli government is proving its true policy, that instead of going for peace it is building new settlements. This is the first time since 1990 that the government of Israel decides on establishing new settlements, and the government›s maneuver, of establishing a committee to establish the settlements, is a trick aimed at hiding the true policy from the public. All the years these outposts weren›t legal, the state said they aren›t for real, and now they suddenly are."
Noted American author and icon Noam Chomsky added his own thoughts. An 88-year-old Jew and an individual who had lived through the Holocaust of World War II, Chomsky said, "I thought 40 years ago and I think today that people who call themselves supporters of Israel are, in fact, supporting its moral degeneration, its increased international isolation and possibly its ultimate destruction.
"I think these policies are suicidal and immoral. For the past 40 years, Israel has pursued a policy very consciously of preferring expansion rather than security," he asserted.
A prominent Israeli journalist who had previously worked for the right-wing Jerusalem Post admitted that his country had indeed become an "apartheid" state. Bradley Burston said, "I used to be one of those people who took issue with the label of apartheid as applied to Israel. I was one of those people who could be counted on to argue that, while the country's settlement and occupation policies were anti-democratic and brutal and slow-dose suicidal, the word apartheid did not apply.
"I'm not one of those people any more. Not after the last few weeks. Not after terrorists firebombed a West Bank Palestinian home, annihilating a family, murdering an 18-month-old boy and his father, burning his mother over 90 percent of her body – only to have Israel's government rule the family ineligible for the financial support and compensation automatically granted Israeli victims of terrorism, settlers included."
Daesh draws a lot of publicity and vocal condemnation and rightly so in its terror activities against civilians, and yet the world remains mysteriously silent about the daily state-sponsored terrorist activities of the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in which human lives are lost.
Are we missing something here? What is the difference? Daesh and Israel appear to be of the same mold.
