Perhaps you have a little more time than usual for watching movies at this time of year. Perhaps you are looking for a good youth group or other small group activity. Perhaps you are looking for a selection for your congregation's book and movie group. Here are some recommendations for movies that explore immigration issues. -Ed.
The Visitor (2007) 104 minutes, PG-13
In this fictional drama, an American college professor and a young immigrant couple grapple with the treatment of immigrants and the legal process post-9/11. The film makers are using the film to call attention to issues of due process, detention and deportation. Learn more about what you can do in response.
El Norte (1983) 140 minutes, R
Released in 1983 and nominated for an Oscar, the film is a classic. It tells the story of two young Guatemalans (Mayan Indians) who survive a military attack on their village. They make a harrowing journey through Mexico and across the border into Los Angeles only to find that "el Norte" is not all that it's rumored to be. While fictional, the movie dutifully depicts the real life plight of Guatemalan and Salvadoran refugees of the 1980s, caught between brutally repressive regimes at home and a U.S. that generally refused to grant asylum.
Made in L.A. (2011), 70 minutes not rated
Determined to win basic protections in the Los Angeles sweatshops where they work, three Latina immigrants embark on a three year odyssey that will transform their lives forever. From April 15th and May 31st, 2009, the filmmakers are inviting national organizations, grassroots groups, congregations and individuals across the country to organize screenings, house parties, and actions around Made in L.A. in a nationwide effort to support humane immigration reform. Learn more about the Community Screening Campaign. This film was partially funded through a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Fund for a Just Society.
Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth (2009) 88 minutes, not rated
This film tells the stories of some of the 65,000 undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status. These are young people who were educated in American schools, hold American values, know only the U.S. as home and who, upon high school graduation, find the door to their future slammed shut. Without "papers," it is against the law to work or drive. It is difficult, if not impossible in some states, to attend college. They live at risk of arrest, detention and deportation to countries they may not even remember. Currently, there is no path to citizenship for these young people.
Tony & Janina's American Wedding (2010) 83 minutes, not rated
After 18 years in America, Tony and Janina Wasilewski's family is torn apart when Janina is deported back to Poland, taking their 6 year old son Brian with her. Set on the backdrop of the Chicago political scene, and featuring Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez at the heart of the immigration reform movement, this film follows the Wasilewski's 3-year struggle to be reunited. With a fresh perspective on the immigration conversation, this film tells the untold human rights story of Post-9/11, that every undocumented immigrant in America faces today, with the power to open the conversation for change.
Dying to Live: A Migrant's Journey (33 minutes)
A profound look at the human face of the immigrant. This film explores who these people are, why they leave their homes and what they face in their journey. Drawing on the insights of Pulitzer Prize winning photographers, theologians, Church and congressional leaders, activists, musicians and the immigrants themselves, this film exposes the places of conflict, pain and hope along the US-Mexico border. It is a reflection on the human struggle for a more dignified life and the search to find God in the midst of that struggle.
Farmingville (2009) 78 minutes, not rated
The documentary Farmingville tells the story of a suburban, Long Island town named Farmingville that made national headlines in the early-2000s when conflict over a sudden influx of Mexican day laborers tore the town in two. It's the unique story of one particular town's response to change and conflict, but it is also a story of unresolved national questions about labor, the economy, and immigration that are probably playing out in your communities, too.
9500 Liberty (2010) 81 minutes, not rated
Prince William County, Virginia becomes ground zero in America's explosive battle over immigration policy when elected officials adopt a law requiring police officers to question anyone they have "probable cause" to suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government, targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens.
The Least of These (2009) 62 minutes, not rated
Detention of immigrant children in a former medium-security prison in Texas leads to controversy when three activist attorneys discover troubling conditions at the facility. Watch free online at SnagFilms. Running time is just over one hour, making this a good film for a discussion night event that can fit into easily into peoples' schedules.
Sentenced Home (2006) 53 minutes, not rated
Sentenced Home follows three young Cambodian Americans through the deportation process. Raised in inner city Seattle, they pay an unbearable price for mistakes they made as teenagers.
The 800 Mile Wall (2009) 90 minutes, not rated
The 800 Mile Wall highlights the construction of the new border walls along the U.S.-Mexico border as well as the effect on migrants trying to cross into the U.S. This powerful 90-minute film is an unflinching look at a failed U.S. border strategy that many believe has caused the death of thousands of migrants and violates fundamental human rights.
REEL Images of Immigration: A Film Guide to Discussing Faith and Immigration, published on line by Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, is an excellent guide to conversation, discussion, and theological reflection using film as a text. Discussion questions for TheVisitor, Made in L.A., Farmingville, and Dying to Live are included in the guide.
This list was compiled by the UUA Multicultural Growth and Witness Staff Group. What would you add? Send us your recommendations and stories about using film as theological "text" to explore a faithful response to immigration justice issues.

As he took the stand, facing charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter, Wafer said he awoke to the sound of banging on his front and then kitchen doors that was so violent it made the floor vibrate beneath his feet. He said he couldn't find his cellphone to call 911' but he did get his Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun from the closet.
When a figure came from around the corner, Wafer, 55, said he pulled the trigger as a "reflex reaction" due to fear.
Prosecutors have tried to cast doubt on Wafer's version of events by calling police witnesses who said they found no pry marks, kick marks or damage to the locking mechanisms of the front door. In addition, the Wayne County Medical Examiner Dr. Kilak Kesha testified that during the autopsy McBride had no injuries to her hand that could have been caused by violent pounding.
But Dr. Werner Spitz, an expert for the defense and former Wayne County medical examiner, claimed he did see injury, swelling and fresh blood in a photograph of McBride's hand.
Wafer's defense has been trying to show McBride as possibly dangerous by introducing to the jury information about her blood-alcohol level of 0.218, and the fact that she had smoked marijuana earlier in the evening.
According to witnesses, McBride wandered off disoriented and bloodied after she crashed her vehicle into a parked car just before 1 a.m. Three hours later she showed up on Wafer's porch. No one knows what she was doing during those three hours.
Defense attorneys have been trying to admit cellphone "selfies" of McBride taken weeks before the incident, showing her "flashing hand signals and exhibiting 'wannabe' elements of gang culture," with "piles of marijuana and packaging materials indicating marijuana distribution," with wads of cash and pointing a handgun at the camera, according to court documents. But Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Dana Hathaway has not allowed the photographs to be admitted.
During cross examination, Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Athina Siringas implied that Wafer's tears on the stand weren't authentic by playing a lengthy video of his police interview made within hours of the shooting.
"Do you remember ever crying within two to three hours after you shot Renisha McBride?" she asked, according to CNN.
"No, I don't think so," Wafer said.

It is not important WHAT picture you have, as long as you have one.You can weave it into a story, but you don't have to. And many/most/all of the pictures have absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the word to be remembered.
ð You do NOT need to know the meaning of the word.
ð You do need to have a picture.
Norman Schwartzkopf (US General: Desert Storm) is just coming out of Buckingham Palace and stormin' (his nickname: Storming Norman) into a Harvey Norman shop, and he is creating havoc in there.
He holds a plant in his hands, and a girl called Janet is clinging on to the plant (you might make certain elements in the story bigger or smaller, just as you see fit and just as it seems appropriate to make it 'unusual').
And Norman gets really mad, and starts throwing (maybe a bit like bowling) that plant – Janet still on/in the plant – down a lane. And this lane has a plaster cast (just like when you have a broken leg).
And now the lane is changing into a Yorkie bar; all that lane so chocolatty: you can see the chocolate, and you can smell it, and you (almost) can taste the Yorkie chocolate.
However now the Yorkie bar is coming to life, like in a cartoon: with arms and legs and head, and gets mad and rams into a Tudor house. The Tudor house is in rubble, dust everywhere, and if you want: (like in a cartoon) the Tudor house and Yorkie bar are fighting.
And out of all that rubble steps your friend Stewart (or any famous Stewart: Jackie Stewart or James Stewart or any Stewart/Stuart that you know). If really no Stuart comes to mind: can you see a Stewardess? Have some fun with this one.
However this Stewardess is in a bad state as she has the worst hang-over that you can imagine. She is totally drunk; and she has a bottle of whiskey in her hand, and you can feel this terrible hang-over.
But despite this hang-over she tries to climb onto a surfing board, and she goes wind-surfing.
Now that was a strange story.
However: I just told you the British Royal Families from 1066 to the current one.
Starting at Buckingham Palace. Out comes Norman Schwartzkopf: That is the first house: the Normans. Just to clarify: Mr. Schwartzkopf has nothing to do with the Normans, however he serves nicely as a picture. And that is what we want.
He holds a plant with Janet on/in it: the next house is: Plantagenet. I admit: it is written in a different way, however that is how it sounds, and that is good enough to deliver a memorable picture.
He bowls this down a lane that is in (plaster) cast: the next house is: Lancaster.
Which changes into a Yorkie bar: the next house is: York. Now: the chocolate of course has nothing to do with the Royal house, however, Yorkie is very close to York, and therefore will do just fine as a picture.
This rams into a house, a Tudor house. Voila, that the next family: Tudor.
Out of the rubble comes either any Stewart/Stuart or a a stewardess: that's the next house: Stuart.
The next one is a crafty one. This stewardess has a hang-over, which does sound like Hanover. This is the next house.
And the stewardess is still in the picture, as she tries a bit of wind-surfing; which may sound like the current Royal house: Windsor.


College union and student activities professionals often play a clear role in the enforcement of policies that regulate the time, place, and manner of free speech activity on campus, and knowledge of the related legal issues are essential for effective professional practice. In the recent ACUI Competency Assessment, needs for education varied significantly among the different functional responsibilities of the ACUI membership. However, the one skill set that all professionals—regardless of their functional area within the college union—rated highly as a professional development need was "Knoweldge of Relevant Laws/Legal Requirements."
This one-hour online learning event will address the common issues that have been observed in campus speech policies and that can easily lead to controversial cases against your institution, based on years of experience by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). During this program, FIRE Director of Legal and Public Advocacy William Creeley will help participants identify and correct these common mistakes in an effort to support campus administrators in stopping speech controversies on campus before they start.
Each participant will receive an electronic version of FIRE's new handbook, co-authored by Will, titled Correcting Common Mistakes in Campus Speech Policies. Administrators are also welcome to order hard copies by contacting FIRE.

"Cover Story" piece on unemployment in Maine, which went from 2.5 percent last year to 4.5 percent this year, reflecting a national trend, according to Charles Colgan, professor of public policy at the University of Southern Maine in Portland. Figures for the Portland metro area show 906 people were collecting full unemployment for an average of 14 weeks in 2001, as compared to 1,069 who collected for 15 to 16 weeks this year. With information provided by the Unemployed Professionals group at the Portland Career Center, Pro Search, Employment 1, the state Department of Labor, the Maine Bureau of Employment Services and others.

L+E Co. is an adorable boutique in Germantown that sells adorable kids clothes and stylish clothes for women, too. The cake pops were chocolate, vanilla, and funfetti with fun colors on the outside. The pops were treats for a Mommy & Me Craft Shop they hosted.
These chocolate, strawberry, vanilla cake balls went out to an incoming freshman at Wright State University after graduating from a Dayton-area high school. The cake balls had a white dip with gold sugar and a dark green dip with white flowers on top. These were a fun twist on the typical graduation party cake balls.
Church groups love it when their members or leaders bring cake balls to a meeting. These chocolate and yellow cake balls were dipped in white with a blue drizzle to match the logo colors of the group.
I love being able to make cake balls for graduates of my alma mater, Kings High School. I love it even more when the family is so great. The chocolate cake balls were dipped in white with red and black drizzle for the new University of Cincinnati freshman. The vanilla cake balls were dipped in white with blue and red drizzle, which are the colors of KHS. To top the order off, I made Oreo cookie truffles topped with mini Oreo's and crushed Oreo's.
I had the pleasure of making cake pops for ANOTHER Kings High School graduate for a joint graduation party near Cincinnati. The cake pops were red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla. Half the pops were dipped in grey and red with alternating drizzle for Ohio State University, and the other half were dipped in gold and maroon for Boston College.
May ended with these 'Murican cake balls for a Memorial Day party in Cincinnati. The red velvet, vanilla, and chocolate cake balls were dipped in white with red and blue drizzle. Take your next cookout or dinner up a notch by ordering cake balls. Your guests will love it!

Scott Pye hauls it around the streets of Adelaide.
Pictured: Scott Pye hauls it around the streets of Adelaide.
After grabbing P5 in the top 10 shootout, Courtney went for a different race strategy than yesterday, coming in early and finding clear air.
It allowed him to undercut Coulthard, Van Gizbergen and Mostert at the first round of stops, sitting in P2 during the second stint.
Van Gizbergen, who was on much fresher tyres, got by JC just before the second round of stops, which put him back in third.
After everyone had completed their second tour of pit lane, Courtney found himself in fourth, behind Mostert on the road.
The car got better as the race went on, but he couldn't reel in the gap and get on the podium, settling for a very well deserved fourth place, and a nice big haul of points for the weekend.
For Scott Pye, his day was derailed by the left front wheel nut, which wouldn't play nice in the first round of pit stops.
It put him at the back of the pack, and with plenty of work left ahead of him.
He pushed hard to get back to P19, but it was a case of what could have been, with a top 10 result beckoning after the first stint.
Overall, it was a great start to the 2017 season for the freshly named Mobil 1 HSV Racing team.
It's a very good foundation to build from for the Australian Grand Prix, and Tyrepower Tasmania SuperSprint.
From The Cockpit
James Courtney #22
"In qualifying we were sixth, the shootout fifth and then fourth in the race, so we were going forward, but just lacked a little bit of pace today.
"We struggled in the mid part of the race, and lost too much ground to the guys in front. We made some changes in the final stop, and the car was really hooked up, but we had to save fuel.
"We were catching Chaz late, but finished just off the podium. Still, it was a great bag of points from the weekend, the car is straight, we learnt a lot, so I'm happy, and proud of the guys."
Scott Pye #2
"Slightly more difficult day on my side of the garage. We qualified 11th before a two-spot penalty, so the speed was better today. I only missed the shootout by half a tenth.
"All in all that was a good result in that session, and it filled me with confidence before the race.
"The race was looking good. I got a good start, but the pit stop drama was really bad luck. That sent us back to last pretty much.
"The car was speedy. In hindsight, the result could have been a lot different, we were looking strong for a top 10 today.
"All was not lost though, we got more data, I got more comfortable with the car and learnt more, so now we put our eyes forward on the AGP."


My workstation was assigned to a certain IP@ which got special authorizations to important facilities. Somebody has stolen this IP address and assigned it to his workstation as a static one. As a Network Admin. how to regain this IP?
As a "network admin" you should have the right to track this individual down and provide them with an alternative. So the question is "how to do this?"
Use the "arp" command to try and match up the required IP address with the rogue system's MAC address. If you have the documentation to match, then you can simply locate the MAC address on your list of systems. If you don't, then you'll have to track down the rogue in different ways. Depeding on a lot of variables, you might be able to PING the IP address and your system MIGHT give back a system name. Eee-Zee then. Otherwise, I would log into the LAN switch and try to locate the system's MAC address on that switch.
Failing those, then I would stay late or arrive real early. Set my PC up with the required IP address (assuming that the rogue system is shut down). When they start up somebody is going to get a "duplicate address" error.
In any case, you actually have a different problem. You either have a rogue user (imagine, setting up their own Network config!) or you have another network admin with whom you are not communicating. If the latter, then you've got to get this other admin talking to you.
Check WINS database. You can set it to show every computer name with the corresponding IP address. Unless you clear the database, it will be there since it is not leased. Since you have a record of who uses which computer name there shouldn't be anyproblem.
Or you could tracert to the IP, this should give you the Netbios ID.. if you have configured your machine names in an appropriate manner.. such as geogrphic location then you'll know who it is..
OR block that IP from accessing your network resources. This way the user will have to request a new IP thus freeing up the one you need.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Twenty-one banners hung from the rafters of KeyBank Center in Buffalo for the past few days. There is one blue banner for each of the 21 college hockey programs that has won a NCAA title since the first one was contested in 1948.
All 21 of the banners will be rolled up and put in storage for 51 weeks, until they're hung from the rafters of Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, before the 2020 NCAA Frozen Four is contested there next April.
Via Saturday night's surgical deconstruction of everything UMass hoped to do in its first trip to a title game, Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin took his place on a list of just nine coaches in college hockey history to win a trio of NCAA titles. It's a testament to Sandelin's style and his adherence to a type of hockey that may not be pretty or even entertaining sometimes, but has proven to be effective in the modern game.
Indeed, the two consecutive titles by the Bulldogs are college hockey's first since Denver won the crown in 2004 and 2005.
Former Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Todd Richards got the night off from his NHL duties, where he is currently an assistant for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and got to be a hockey dad, watching his son Justin win a second NCAA title and get a spot on the all-tournament team. This former Gopher had nothing but praise for Sandelin, his one-time on-ice rival.
The list of coaches that have won three or more titles includes bona-fide legends like Jerry York from Boston College, Jack Parker from Boston University, Herb Brooks from Minnesota, Bob Johnson from Wisconsin and Sandelin's college coach, John 'Gino' Gasparini from North Dakota. Asked about taking his place on that list, Sandelin was humble as the players hooted and hollered inside the UMD locker room.
The duties of a college coach in the modern era are many. It's about recruiting and running practice and game management and even being a father figure to 25 young men learning their place in college, on the ice and in the world. Sandelin has mastered all of that, and has proven that he belongs in the conversation among the game's coaching legends.

2017 McDonell Summer Fellows Program
by Michelle Bermudez '18
Eight Adelphi University students were awarded the opportunity to benefit from full-time hands-on science research in biology, chemistry, and physics for 10 weeks as part of Adelphi's Horace G. McDonell Science Research Fellowship program.
The Fellowship program started in 2011 through the generosity of Adelphi alumnus Horace G. McDonell, Jr. '52, '02 (Hon.), Adelphi trustee emeritus and a retired chairman and CEO of Perkin Elmer, Inc. The students received a $4,000 stipend and worked closely with a faculty mentor, conducting experiments in a research lab and gaining state-of-the-art training.
"It's been wonderful to witness the progress of these exceptional students during their Fellowship experience and afterwards, as they go on to prestigious graduate and professional programs and to significant careers," said Acting Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Susan Briziarelli of the program.

The 2017 McDonell Science Research Fellows and Their Projects
Momoka Nagamine
Hometown: Tokyo, Japan
Chemistry major, Class of 2019
Mentor: Justyna Widera-Kalinowska, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry
Project: Developing a catechol sensing platform based on a glassy carbon electrode with PIn5COOH hydrogel, Au nanoparticles, and tyrosinase. It is hypothesized that the use of the hydrogel in combination with Au nanoparticles and tyrosinase will increase the sensitivity of the modified electrode for catechol. Catechol, which is harmful to both human and environment, can be found in food, water, and industrial waste.
Allan Delarosa
Hometown: Bellerose, NY
Physics major, Class of 2018
Mentor: Sean Bentley, Ph.D., associate professor of physics
Project: To build a quantum eraser and test the interference patterns of photons by calculating the lenses and angles of mirrors used to produce them. The research will help to demonstrate several fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics and retrieve information on the creation and erasure of interference patterns.
Kiran Khan
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Molecular Neuroscience major, Class of 2017
Mentor: Matthias Foellmer, Ph.D., associate professor of biology
Project: Conduct a MicroCT analysis of soft and hard copulations in the orb-web spider Argiope aurantia. This research will allow to evaluate whether the two mating tactics which are soft vs. hard copulation, have consequences for the way male and female genitalia interact and affect sperm transfer.
Tian Li
Hometown: Taiyuan, China
Mentor: Ivan Hyatt, Ph.D., assistant professor of Chemistry
Project: Discovering a new methodology that will allow chemists to synthesis complex molecules with low cost, less steps and ease of access. As a hypervalent iodine complex, Hypervalent iodonium alkynyl triflate (HIAT) is used as a reagent in synthetic chemistry. The unique reactivity of HIATs make them suited to efficiently generate trimethylenemethane (TMM) intermediates that can result in substituted diquinanes; biologically relevant molecules found in nature. Once the methodology has been developed, it can be used in areas such as material science and pharmaceutical drug design.
Nafeesathul Hanan Kabir
Hometown: Dubai
Biology major, Class of 2019
Mentor: Melissa VanAlstine-Parris, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry
Project: Synthesizing compounds of enzymes in the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis for later testing. The disease, Trichomoniasis is caused by an infection with a protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis, which breaks down the DNA with enzymes. The goal of this research is to take newly discovered values and compare them with those of existing research in the hopes of determining a specific enzyme used by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis to take over the host.
Rheba Sam
Hometown: East Meadow, NY
Mentor: Eugenia Villa-Cuesta, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology
Project: to investigate whether rapamycin, a drug previously shown to reduce reactive oxygen species, may serve to reduce reactive oxygen species and inhibit neurodegeneration of retinal cells. My research focuses on mutations involved in subunit A of an enzyme complex called succinate dehydrogenase (sdhA), which is a vital enzyme harnessed in metabolic functioning. In particular, homozygous mutations for sdhA are lethal, whereby Drosophila melanogaster exhibit death during early development. These mutations have been linked to excess production of reactive oxygen species and neuronal degeneration. The hopes of this project entail discovery of a potential treatment for the neurodegenerative consequences associated with this severe mutation, using Drosophila melanogaster as the model organism for studying neurodegenerative disease.

Project: Studying sub unit b of the complex, succinate dehydrogenase, within the electron transport chain of the common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). Due to the great number of similarities in disease causing genes between humans and fruit flies, the organism is useful in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human diseases. By looking at the respiratory quotients ration, RQ values can be used to predict metabolic syndromes.

The Appeasers of Ratko Mladic
By Ben Cohen 2011-05-27T03:00:16
As it turns out, this has been a stand-out month in the battle against evil. First, there was the killing of Osama bin Laden. Now, finally, the capture of the fugitive Serb war criminal, Ratko Mladic.
In 1994, I was a fairly junior media relations officer with the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), deployed in midst of the war in the former Yugoslavia. It was a time when Mladic was at the height of his powers, able to control the flow of aid into besieged Sarajevo with the imperious ease of a man turning a faucet on and off. Mladic's strategy of squeezing, expelling, and murdering his largely Bosnian Muslim victims -- known locally as "Bosniaks," a term denoting an identity that is more national than religious -- made a mockery of the UN operation.
The six towns and cities designated by the UN as "safe areas" ended up becoming the most dangerous places in Bosnia. Srebrenica, the place where Mladic's forces carried out a massacre of 8,000 Bosnian men and boys in 1995, dumping the dead bodies into mass graves, was one of those "safe areas."
In the hours that followed Mladic's arrest, media coverage focused on the consequences for Serbia, pointing out that a major obstacle to the country's integration into the European Union had now been lifted. My attention, though, was fixed on the past -- specifically, upon the blatant appeasement of Mladic and his backer in Belgrade, the late, unlamented Slobodan Milosevic, that I encountered first-hand at the UN.
A number of fine scholars, notably Noel Malcolm and Brendan Simms, have traced in careful detail the evolution of a British-French-Russian axis of appeasement that set the tone for the UN's role in Bosnia. The British foreign secretary at the time, Douglas Hurd, was a notorious proponent of the notion that Yugoslavia, in its first iteration as the kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, and then in its remaking under Tito's communist regime, was little more than a seething cauldron of inter-ethnic hatreds. This theory, in which everyone and no one was responsible for the slaughter which followed Yugoslavia's disintegration, could lead to only one conclusion: let them get on with killing each other. This was music to the ears of the Serb ultranationalists, who worked diligently with their Croatian equivalents on a plan to carve up Bosnia.
On the ground, one individual personified the appeasement approach: the British General Sir Michael Rose, who was UNPROFOR's commander in Sarajevo. At UNPROFOR headquarters, stories of Rose's gruff impatience with the pesky Bosnian refusal to roll over and die were legion. Rose detested the Americans too, for their impertinent insistence that the systematic abuse of human rights by Serb forces was a critical policy consideration. A widely circulated photograph of Rose shaking hands with Mladic, both of them grinning like old friends, said it all.
By the time the Dayton Accords ended the Bosnian war a few months after the Srebrenica massacre, Rose's craven approach had been somewhat eclipsed (Rose himself had already been succeeded by another British general, Rupert Smith.) Nonetheless, the core principle that informed the appeasement policy in Bosnia -- treating a brutal dictatorship as just another government with full sovereign rights -- was to enjoy a new lease of life in the policy clash that followed the 9/11 atrocities.
In that regard, there's one juicy detail that deserves highlighting again and again. Several individuals who now present themselves as the defenders of Muslim rage against Western encroachment were, during the Bosnian war and later in Kosovo, utterly contemptuous of the plight of Balkan Muslims.

NASCAR DFS Advice
NASCAR DFS Picks for the Pennzoil 150 at the Brickyard on August 14, 2021
Matt Sallows
DAYTONA, FL - FEBRUARY 14: Austin Cindric, driver of the #33 Team Penske Verizon 5G Ford Mustang, during the Daytona 500 on February 14, 2021 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach. Fl. (Photo by David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire)
As we head into Indy Road Course Race Week, we will have to look at drivers' stats and history from other courses as we build our lineup this week. This week we are going to focus on finding value by looking at previous top contenders at road races the past couple of years. There are quite a few value drivers that you can insert into your lineup. Let's now take a deep dive into who I think you can insert into your lineup for the Pennzoil 150 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Past Winners/Track Knowledge
It's time for the NASCARs Xfinity Series to take their best shot winning at the Indy Road Course. The Xfinity Series raced at the Indy Road Course last year, where Chase Briscoe left victorious and Justin Haley, Noah Gragson, A.J. Allmendinger, and Austin Cindric rounded out the top five. This will be a 151.218-mile race where the drivers will be tasked with completing 62 laps around the Speedway. The Indy Road Course is a 2.439-mile Road Course, with an asphalt surface. This racecourse is home to 14 unique turns that will push drivers to the limit. The best part about the Indy Road Course is that each turn has its own set of challenges that the drivers must overcome. As stage points are becoming more coveted as the year goes on and racers, must win stages to get those oh so valuable stage points, racers will have three stages to try and get points. Stage one is 20 laps, stage two is 20 laps, and stage three is 22 laps. With the Indy Road Course being a tricky track with a history there is a lot of data to sift through as we build out winning lineup.
Below is a lineup that we believe can provide the best value for the Pennzoil 150 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on 08/14/2021 (DraftKings Values)
Driver #1 Austin Cindric $ 10,500
Driver #2 Ty Gibbs $ 10,300
Driver #3 $
A-List Premium Price Drivers
Austin Cindric ($10,500)
As the current top driver in the Xfinity Series, Austin Cindric is a no brainer every week if you can find a way to fit him into your lineup. This is one of those weeks where I am going to do it no matter what. Cindric has been excellent in 2021 where he has four wins, 13 top-five finishes, 16 top 10 finishes, and has led 556 laps. All his statistics this year are Xfinity Series highs. His worst finish this year is 32nd at Nashville, but he did crash, so we will forget about that one for now. Pair that with the fact that Cindric has placed top 15 in every race that he finished. It is safe to say he has been electric. At the end of the day there are not going to be many races this year where you can get Cindric cheap, so you must pick the weeks you want to use him in your lineup, this is one of those weeks. Cindric has dominated everywhere this year. Cindric is going to be moving up to the Cup Series next year, he has his sights set on loading up on Xfinity Series wins before he makes the jump. Cindric is the best driver with the best car, I say he wins this one and leads a ton of laps. If Cindric starts this race on the pole, he may never leave it.
Ty Gibbs ($10,300)
Winner of last week's road race at Watkins Glen and the Daytona Road Course, the rookie phenom is back racing in the Xfinity Series again as he continues his historic season. In 10 races this year Ty Gibbs has three wins, finished top five in eight of 10 races, and has led 135 laps. You could argue that no one has been better then Gibbs this season based on his sample size and eight of 10 top five finishes. What's also wild is that in half the number of races he is tied for third in top five achieved this year. This will be Gibbs first race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the Road Course but having his first race at a track this year hasn't seemed to scare him away once. Gibbs is averaging 52.5 DFS points per race, which is out of this world. He is becoming one of those drivers that you must play each week as he is averaging as much as three times some drivers each week. I am going to give the rookie another shot this week.

Harrison Burton ($9,200)
In year two in the Xfinity Series Harrison Burton had a bit of a rocky start but has really turned the jets on in the last few races. So far in 2021 Burton has seven top five finishes and 13 top 10 finishes, while also leading 131 laps. The trend this year for Burton has been either a top 10 finish or finishing outside of the top 30. In the races he is finishing, he has been excellent, but he needs to be finishing races to be DFS relevant. Road Courses have been Burtons best tracks this year where he has a sixth-place finish at Daytona, a sixth-place finish at Circuit of Americas, a fifth-place finish at Road America, and another fifth place finish at Watkins Glen last weekend. My bet of course is him getting into the top five for this race. As I mentioned earlier 2020 was a good year for Burton where he had four wins, 15 top-five finishes, 22 top 10 finishes, and led 291 laps. Burton is bound to get a win in soon and this could be the week.
B-List Value Drivers
Jeb Burton ($7,700)
I mentioned earlier that I thought there was incredible value in this race, well here is one of the drivers who I think comes extremely cheap for how optimistic I am for their chances to race well this week. Jeb Burton has had an excellent start to the 2021 season where he has one win, five top-five finishes and 12 top 10 finishes. If you take out his 25th place finish at Atlanta 20th place finish at Darlington, and his 32nd place finish at Circuit of Americas his only blunders, he has an average finish this year of around eighth. Now if you want to include every race, you also get a very nice number, of around a top 10 finish. Talk about a great start to the year. Burton has really come into his own this year after finally becoming a full-time driver in the Xfinity Series. Burton is going to have plenty of opportunity to contend for another top-five finish.
Austin Hill ($7,000)
This will be Austin Hill's third race of the year in the Xfinity Series. Hill is a full-time driver in the NASCAR Truck Series. In two races this year in the Xfinity at Nashville and Pocono Hill has one top 10 finish. In the NASCAR Truck Series Hill is on a hot streak winning the last two races at Knoxville and Watkins Glen. Hill has repeatedly showed that he can race with the best at road courses as evident by his win at Watkins Glen and ninth place finish at Austin. Last week at Watkins Glen, Hill led a day most 35 laps on his way to victory. With his cheap price and knack for winning at road races, I think Hill is a great pick for this weekend's race.
C-List Sleeper Pick Drivers
Brandon Brown ($5,200)
Before the start of this season Brandon Brown only had one top-five finish and seven top 10 finishes to his name on the Xfinity Series. Now after a hot start to the 2021 season Brown has matched his career performance in 20 races. So far, this year Brown has two top-five finishes at Phoenix Raceway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. To go along with back-to-back top 10 finishes at the two Daytona tracks and seven top 10 finishes total. This may even be in the realm of a safe pick this week especially for his dollar value. He is driving well and could be in for a top-five or 10 finish again this week. I don't think you can go wrong with Brown in your lineup this week. Brown offers a lot of flexibility with his price tag.
Now go win your matchup and let us know how you did. Or if I picked every driver that will be in that lap 61 crash, I encourage you to let me hear it. Either way come find us on Twitter (@FantasyDFSX).

Planet Charters adventure vacations in Eleele, Hawaii, United States.
Please mention: "I saw your listing #793 on PlanetCharters.com"
Long Description: We offer sailing and power catamarans to Kauai's Napali coast.
Napali are the second highest seacliffs in the world. A place where ancient Hawaii still exsists. You'll hear narrations about the history, culture, and ecology of this coast. You'll see 3,000ft cliffs and green valleys where waterfalls flow directly into the sea. When sea conditions permit we are within feet of these cliffs. Sea caves and rock formations unlike any other place in the world will fire your imagination.
Niihau is 18 miles from the island of Kauai, privately owned so is known as the "Forbbiden isalnd". For over 100 years the owners of this island have kept all outsiders away. Even to this day no one is allowed to land on the island without the express permission of the owners. The island is inhabited by Hawaiians of 100% Hawaiian bloodline. They live a primitive lifestyle with no electricity, running water, and speak only Hawaiian. With the absense of industry, agriculture, or development; the waters surrounding this island are the most pristine in Hawaii.
Holoholo charters were the first to take people snorkeling there and the only company that has daily tours to the island. With very strict SELF IMPOSED policies on how we interact with our environment, we plan to set an for others who follow. Since there are only a few boats that go there anyway (dive, fishing mostly), these waters have stayed pristine.
We see dolphins daily, and on our Niihau tour you have a chance of seeing whales year-round (pilot whales, melon-headed, etc). During the winter months we also see the Humback whales that migrate here from Alaska. They come here to mate and to bear thier young. There are great battles for females, as the males breach (jump) out of the water showing thier FULL body length! This becomes a daily event during the peak months of January though March. This is somehting not to miss.
Come with us and go on the only charter boat that was specificely designed to go accross the channel and deal with Hawaii's waters. We built these boats with the utmost safety in mind. The latest techniques, and space-age epoxy resins and fiberglass were used to build them.
Policies: All tour routes and snorkeling are subject to surf and sea conditions permitting.

                           ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN
                       A film review by Steve Rhodes
                        Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes

RATING (0 TO ****):  *

     ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN (1989) is an animated film, now out on
video, that is directed by the usually successful director Don Bluth
(THE PEBBLE AND THE PENGUIN, THUMBELINA, THE LAND BEFORE TIME, AN
AMERICAN TAIL, and THE SECRET OF NIMH).  There are two premises to the
film.  One, as stated by the Whippet Angel (Melba Moore), is that, "All
dogs go to heaven because, unlike people, dogs are naturally kind."
The other, amazingly enough, is just the opposite, and the film depicts
almost all of the dogs as representing a vast criminal underclass of
society.  I found these two notions as incongruous and baffling.  The
bigger problem with the movie however is that there is only one
sympathetic character in it, the little human girl Anne-Marie (Judith
Barsi who was great as ducky in THE LAND BEFORE TIME), and the dogs are
universally unlovable!

     As the film starts, two dogs, Charlie (Burt Reynolds) and Itchy
(Dom DeLuise), are crooks "on death row", a.k.a. the dog pound, and
they are in the process of breaking out.  Once out, they go back to the
dog Carface (Vic Tayback).  Carface decides he wants to break up their
old gang and bumps Charlie off.  Charlie manages to get back from
heaven, but when he comes back, he has not learned any lessons and is
up to his old tricks stealing wallets and other nefarious activities.

     None of the dogs are characters that the audience cares about.
Burt Reynolds provides one of the most bland readings, and I do mean
reading, of a script in a long time.  Charlie is boring with a capital
B, and the voice is his least attractive attribute.

     Judith Barsi provides a great voice for Anne-Marie, and the only
reason to view this show about dogs is to see this wonderfully sweet
and innocent human girl, which, of course, makes no sense at all.  In
fact, the whole Anne-Marie character is adorable, which leads me to the
most distasteful aspect of the picture.  Carface is an old, gross
bulldog who smokes cigars and keeps young Anne-Marie hostage in his
basement.  When she escapes, he explains how he "loves her" and must
have her back.  Maybe I am being way too sensitive, but I kept seeing
Carface as being created as too close to a pedophile.  Oh well, this
was not the main reason I did not like the show.  The main reason was
that it is boring and holds no interest whatsoever, other than the
character of the only human lead, Anne-Marie.

     The weak script by David Weiss, et. al., has very few memorable
lines, and Charlie gets most of them.  When Charlie tries to con
Anne-Marie, he tells her, "What a hopeless cad I've been.  Blind to the
needs of society's unloved."  His lame attempts at humor include, "Some
of the poorest people I know are as broke as the Ten Commandments."
Finally, Charlie's real self comes out as he tells Itchy, "I'm using
the girl, and when I'm done with her, I'll drop dump her in an
orphanage."

     Other than the Anne-Maria character, the only other part with any
merit are the drawings.  They are a cornucopia of oversaturated colors.
The songs written by T. J. Kuenster and Charles Strouse are as bland as
bland can be, but the singing by Charlie is even worse.  It is so bad
that is hard to call it singing.  Do you sing in the shower?  You are
probably more melodious.

     ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN drags on at 1:29.  Too bad the editors (John
K. Carr and Lisa Dorney) did not have more mercy on the audience and
chop out most of Charlie's part.  In fact, if the producer had just
gotten a whole new set of dogs, it would have been a much more
enjoyable film.  The show is rated G, but I wonder if PG would not have
been more appropriate in a show where characters get shot at with a
machine gun and where one goes on a scary dream journey to the deeps of
Hell.  At any rate, I would be careful with little kids and these
scenes.  I can not recommend the film although Jeffrey (almost 7)
seemed to like it, and I give it a single * for Judith Barsi's
Anne-Marie.  I hope the recently released ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN 2 is
better since Jeffrey wants to see it.

**** = One of the top few films of this or any year.  A must see film.
***  = Excellent show.  Look for it.
**   = Average movie.  Kind of enjoyable.
*    = Poor show.  Don't waste your money.
0    = One of the worst films of this or any year.  Totally unbearable.

Grace and Mercy in Chicken Fingers: Matt Redmond's God of the Mundane | Mockingbird.
^ A review of what sounds like an excellent read.
We all want to think of ourselves as special and we deeply wish there were meaning to every task we do at work.
But what about the massive parts of life that are just … mundane? What about the millions of jobs that are honestly kind of boring?
A message of Grace for the everyday is what we need. And Redmond offers that, according to this reviewer.
A lovely read about Easter, vocation, and "holy friends" who call us to be all that we are in Christ. Recommended.
We hope and pray for friends who can help us discern our vocation. Vocation is lived through the grace of ordinary living in family life and daily work. And vocation is lived through an extraordinary witness to the possibilities of a new country. Either way, we can lean into the possibilities for life abundant.

The Kerala Vishwakarma Sabha (KVS) has demanded that the P.N. Sankaran Commission report submitted to the government more than two years ago be published.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, State working president of the KVS P. Reghunathan said the report had recommendations aimed at the welfare of the Vishwakarma community. Mr. Reghunathan said the report should be published and the follow-up measures initiated.
The publication of the report was included in the election manifesto of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) for the Assembly election, he said.


The ILO found that "sustainable elimination of the risk of child and forced labor remains a prominent issue" in Uzbekistan, and concludes that about one third of the 2.8 million cotton pickers that the ILO estimates are involved in the annual cotton harvest were "non-voluntary." The figure is in line with Cotton Campaign estimates of the size of the population of forced laborers. Many of the ILO's findings on forced labor correspond to evidence collected by independent Uzbek monitors on the ground. But the involvement of government officials in the organization's research and other possible government pressure appears to have led to some efforts to downplay the scope and severity of forced labor throughout the country, for example by the report's use of terms such as "non-voluntary" or "reluctant" to describe forced laborers, the Cotton Campaign said.
The Cotton Campaign, a coalition of human rights, labor, investor and business organizations, including human rights groups from Uzbekistan, estimates that more than 1 million Uzbek citizens are forced by Uzbek authorities to harvest cotton annually, in often abusive conditions and on threat of punishment. Responding to ongoing reports of forced and child labor in Uzbekistan's cotton sector, the ILO monitored labor conditions during the country's 2016 harvest in two phases, pre-harvest in late July and early August, and during the harvest from mid-September through the end of October.
But the ILO conducted its survey in conjunction with Uzbek union officials aligned with the government, undermining the credibility of its conclusions. Forced laborers and farmers were required to answer questions in the presence of officials from the government-controlled Federation of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan (FTUU), denying respondents confidentiality or anonymity, despite Uzbekistan's well-known and pervasive system of surveillance, repression, and retaliation for criticism of the government.
The ILO noted in its report that, "many interviewees appeared to have been briefed in advance." Independent Uzbek monitors also confirmed that local administrators coached people on what to say when questioned by ILO monitors.
The FTUU chair was appointed by the government after the previous chair became deputy prime minister. The union was tasked by the Uzbek government with ensuring control over the cotton-pickers in a protocol issued by Uzbekistan's Cabinet of Ministers in July 2016, which detailed an order to deploy all medical and educational staff to pick cotton.
The findings in the ILO report also demonstrate how businesses with Uzbek cotton in their supply chains, or organizations supporting projects in Uzbekistan's agricultural sector, risk their own reputations by being associated with the state-run forced labor system.
Independent monitors documented forced labor of children and adults in areas of the country with projects financed/ administered by the World Bank. The ILO conclusions found no evidence of force labor in World Bank project areas, but stated that World Bank project areas "share similar risks" of forced labor as other regions of Uzbekistan because they are not excluded from the national system of coerced labor recruitment.
Government-led campaigns to raise awareness about and end forced and child labor were insufficient. Independent Uzbek civil society monitors demonstrated that people the ILO interviewed were afraid to report incidents of forced labor, and told independent monitors that the SMS and banner campaigns on labor rights were, "not for us," because they were still told they would lose their jobs or be expelled if they didn't participate. The ILO report also documented the limitations of awareness raising efforts, noting that awareness-raising messages were, "submerged by cotton harvest recruitment campaigns".
Independent monitors documented cases in which students were expelled for refusing to participate, and at least one teacher was fired for refusing to harvest cotton. The ILO found that recruiters were often people with authority over the cotton picker -- an employer or school administrator in many cases.
The ILO report did not touch on another aspect of the forced labor situation, however—that human rights activists and journalists were repeatedly arrested and harassed by local authorities for their attempts to document cotton harvest.
The ILO should ensure its site visits are free from interference by the government and insist that Uzbek citizens who monitor conditions in the fields are free from retaliation, arbitrary detention, or other abuses, the Cotton Campaign said.


This week at Fundable we're featuring two companies changing the way people connect. imgScrimmage recently raised $200,000 for their social image platform and GrubMarket is experiencing rapid growth as they expand their local food marketplace to new cities.
imgScrimmage is a social image sharing platform that fosters real-time connections through photo sharing. Unlike other social sharing platforms, imgScrimmage prompts users to interact rather than simply posting, increasing the potential of viral sharing. Users can create an event (called a 'scrimmage') and rally their friends for any occasion, whether it's a scavenger hunt, a dare, or simply sharing pics in answer to the question, "How's your day going?".
imgScrimmage was recently accepted into one of Florida's premier incubators, the Enterprise Development Corporation. Currently available in the Android Play Store and iPhone App Store, the team will launch a Windows app by the end of 2014.
The team has raised $200,000 from investors to expand their audience and add new features as they prepare to raise a Series A round.
GrubMarket is the first online marketplace dedicated to providing people a place to connect, discover, share, and purchase local food. GrubMarket is the Saturday farmers' market that lasts all day, every day, and delivers to your door.
Built by a team of seasoned Silicon Valley business and technology professionals, GrubMarket has gained a large following in the San Francisco area, and is preparing to expand into new markets. Over 1,200 unique foods are currently sold through the GrubMarket platform to over 1,000 users, and the team recently secured a contract with Market Delices, the top local food vendor in San Francisco.
GrubMarket's aim is to become the world's largest online local marketplace and community for food.

Q: Windows shortcut to a PowerShell script with relative path When creating a Windows shortcut to launch a PowerShell script the following works fine when double clicked as a regular user and with right click Run as administrator:
%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy "Bypass" -Command "&{& 'C:\Script.ps1'}"

However, when the path is relative and not known upfront the following works fine when double clicked as a regular user but not with right click Run as administrator:
%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy "Bypass" -Command "&{& '.\Script.ps1'}"

My question, how can I have it work in both cases when the path is relative? I tried using PSScriptRoot but that didn't work either.
Thank you for your help.

A: When launching as admin from Explorer, you must provide an absolute path to the script.
Explorer.exe ignores the starting directory from the shortcut when launching a process as admin.  Instead, Admin-level processes always launch with the current directory in [Environment]::GetFolderPath('System') (usually C:\Windows\System32)
The easy way to run in a different directory is to change directory at the beginning of your script.  The following line will cd to the directory the script is in.
Set-Location $PsScriptRoot

If the script needs to start in a different path, then you may have to write a function to discover where that path is on the local machine (such as enumerating USB drives)

A: You can use your current solution for non-admin promoted shortcuts then auto promote the script internally:
# ========================================= Admin Rights =======================================================
# Usage: asAdmin $PSCommandPath
function asAdmin
{
    [string]$cmdPath = $args[0]
    if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { Start-Process powershell.exe "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$cmdPath`"" -Verb RunAs; exit }
}

In this paper we discuss the development of an Augmented Reality (AR) - based scientific visualization system prototype that supports identification, localisation, and 3D visualisation of oil leakages sensors datasets. Sensors generates significant amount of multivariate datasets during normal and leak situations. Therefore we have developed a data model to effectively manage such data and enhance the computational support needed for the effective data explorations. A challenge of this approach is to reduce the data inefficiency powered by the disparate, repeated, inconsistent and missing attributes of most available sensors datasets. To handle this challenge, this paper aim to develop an AR-based scientific visualization interface which automatically identifies, localise and visualizes all necessary data relevant to a particularly selected region of interest (ROI) along the virtual pipeline network. Necessary system architectural supports needed as well as the interface requirements for such visualizations are also discussed in this paper.

Shelby & Wes met about a handful of years ago at Mammoth Mountain. Ironically, their job for the mountain involved them taking photos of people. You know those people at the top of the lifts? Yes, that was Shelby & Wes.
While they are both familiar with being behind a camera, they were brave enough to step in front of mine.
A couple weeks ago we drove up to Mammoth, Phil was chauffeur and Kristen was my moral support – I'll admit, I was a bit nervous! – but I can honestly say it was a true pleasure capturing these two.
Yes, it was a major learning experience for me – having to direct for the first time while still trying to manage the actual technicalities of taking a good photo.
Shelby & Wes will forever be an integral part of "my story." They will always be the first couple I will have had the honor to photograph in an "engagement" session AND their photos are the first ones I have ever edited outside of iPhoto. Lightroom is another major undertaking, but Shelby & Wes have been patient with me.
This whole photography thing is a journey. One that I am really excited about. I'm believing it will only continue to get better.

Fusarium wilt is a serious disease of fodder lupines. Mass affection of plants is observed under conditions favorable for its development.
In the NSC «Institute of Agriculture of NAAS» breeders and phytopathologists created a number of free alkaloid varieties of yellow lupine (Martin 2, Promin, Obriy, Burshtyn) and white lupine (Druzhba, Siniy Parus, Volodymyr, Tuman, Veresnevyy, Diyeta, Serpnevyy), which are characterized by high productivity and resistance to Fusarium wilt. These varieties are included in the Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine and used in industry. The new varieties such as Agat Polesya and Chabansky are undergoing the state trials.
The experience of the usage of infectious background in breeding of lupines is demonstrated in the article.
To create such background the highly virulent strains of Fusarium oxysporum var.orthoceras: 82, 90, 183, etc, the pathogen of Fusarium wilt, are used. The standard is the strain 82 (Author's certificate No 852 304), which infects lupines cultivated in Ukraine, yellow, white and narrow-leaf lupines, has a high virulence (affects up to 100% of susceptible varieties) and ubiquitous in the lupin sowing area.
On the generated infection backgrounds the simplest and most effective way of infecting plants is used - through the soil. Infectious material is added in the soil in pots or in the field, and inoculation of plants occurs naturally.
In laboratory and greenhouse experiments for studying resistance the pure culture of the fungus F. oxysporum var.orthoceras strains grown in nutrient medium is used as inoculum. To establish infectious background in the field specially prepared infectious material, which is the fungus accrued on oat grain and mixed with fragmented peat, is used.
The methods for accretion of infectious material and introduction it into soil are described.
The test procedures on infectious background for varieties and selection samples and a scale for classification of varieties and selection numbers by resistance to Fusarium wilt are presented.
It is shown at which stages of breeding process infection background should be applied.
