China: two new versions of the Xian Y-20 aircraft
One for refuelling in flight and one for early warning and control
China is working to modify the Xian Y-20 strategic transport aircraft, and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) engineers are looking to develop an in-flight refueling version and an early warning and control version (AWACD), exploiting - for this - also the recent agreement signed with the United Kingdom for the supply of airborne radars. One of these variants of the strategic transport aircraft used by the Chinese air force is expected to debut during 2019, thus demonstrating both China's capabilities and the extreme versatility of the four-engine aircraft that entered service in December 2015. The Y-20 -nelle Beijing's intentions -it should become a unique platform from which to derive a series of specific versions, along the lines of what has always been done in the United States with many of the planes derived from civil aviation.
In addition to refueling and early warning and control versions, AVIC would also like to transform the Y-20 to be able to carry out electronic warfare and medical evacuation operations, equipping it with the necessary equipment to make it a flying hospital. But the next important step for Chinese industry will be the one expected for next year, when the Russian D-30 engines will be replaced by an engine developed entirely in China.

Q: Mac OS X permissions to create a zip file After searching the internet find an answer I've decided to ask for help directly.
I am running mac os x 10.7, PHP, Apache and MySQL.  I am trying to let a user select files from a form have them zipped and sent to the individual.  At first PHP couldn't even create a file.  I found the following:
sudo chmod -R +a "_www allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" ~/Sites

Which allowed me to create a file.  But when I try to create a zip I get some unknown extension being appended at the end and 2 files are being created.  So not knowing what was wrong I thought I would just find the file by opening the directory and forcibly renaming it back to *.zip.  I have checked the file after renaming manually and it seems to be fine.
I get the following error:
Warning: rename(tmp/RosenData082112-1102.zip.ohoKRw,RosenData082112-1102.zip) [function.rename]: Permission denied in /Users/mmcri/Sites/rosenlab/download.php on line 42

ls -le reveals this to the files:
-rw-------+ 1 _www  staff  43775 Aug 21 11:02 RosenData082112-1102.zip.1qJUE4
 0: user:_www inherited allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity

 0: user:_www inherited allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity

Here is the PHP code section making the zip file:
if(extension_loaded('zip'))
{
   $zip = new ZipArchive();
   $zipname = "RosenData".date("mdy-Hi").".zip";

   if($zip->open($direct.$zipname, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) === TRUE)
   {
       foreach($filelist as $file)
            $zip->addFile($path.$file,$file) or die ("Error adding file: $file");
       $zip->close();
}
 // Random stuff below
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: Do you have permissions to write on that folder in Mac?
Try with fopen instead of ZipArchive.

I was wondering, peace of mind comes from owning something or being at peace is independent of owning anything? I was under and impression that peace of mind comes from achieving one's goals for example owning a car. However, achieving one goal results in creation of another goal and so that may not be the answer. If we extend the example of owning a car as goal one, next goal could be owning a bigger or perhaps a personal jet.
Another thought was peace of mind comes from doing what you enjoy doing, however after some time that doing something may become a routine and so on. So the series of question and answer was not ending with a specific answer. Recently, I came across a site and a possible solution. Why am I calling it a "possible solution" because mind accepts the solution however, practicing and living that solution would take some time.
According to that site the Buddha concluded that everything in this physical world is marked by three characteristics – the Dharma Seals. These three characteristics of conditioned existence are Anatman, Anitva and Dukkha.
According to those Dharma Seal – Anatman is the concept of self. The Buddha emphasised on the changing character of the soul. Anitva means that nothing is constant. All the things, feelings and experiences are inconsistent and impermanent. There is no such thing that lasts forever. When we fail to grasp the first two conditions truly, we suffer and that suffering is known as Dukkha. We always crave for permanent satisfaction (in my thought process peace of mind), but forget that everything changes, not even satisfaction last forever.
So, I concluded that peace of mind is not in achieving something in life. However, peace of mind is being at peace with our mind in the present. Because the more we think more we complicate life – life is, simple!
There is a Shashi Throor hidden in all of us. I did not mean the English one – "…farrago…" whose English is such that even native speakers (Brits) need to sit with dictionary. I meant Throor who feels besides him all others are "cattle class". We all have that Shashi Throor hidden in us; if not all, many of us.
Well, this feeling of "I am special" is too ingrained in the politicians and bureaucrats that many feel they are the god's gift to the mankind – more precisely to India. If you have heard the statement – "You don't know who my father is (you don't know who am I)" in all likelihood you have confronted son or small time sidekick of some politician. Or "this will go upto the PMs office" you have lived in Delhi. The swagger is higher in politicians of higher level – like Shashi Throor. Also, this bullying happens by many other son's of neta / small time netas to commoners like you and me.
Throor's cattle class comment is special. When he made this comment I believe he was to board a flight. A country where at least half of the population never traveled by a flight, calling the rest of 50% – who are rich enough to fly – a cattle class either makes one feel India has not progressed or there is some disorientation in the minds of few.
At the same time, other mortals like you and me too have the feeling of being unique (watch a 1 minute video of Madagascar which will let you know – we are all unique – but still the same). We – most of us – have a feeling that I am one up over others and a (smaller than like of Throor) gift of god to the mankind. How it occurred to me that we all have a Shashi Throor in us (like Marty of Madagascar) was a brief chat with my sister.
Once, my sister and her daughter was flying from Delhi by Indigo. They were in queue for check-in, a lady just cut through the line and went for check-in. Others in queue said – "we are all here in queue for check-in, Please get in the queue?" The lady said – "there is so much crowd." My sister was second for check-in at that time, she told her – "Madam, everyone has a flight and is a passenger like you". Some people when they realized the sarcasm, of crowd and passengers, told her – if you feel so special why dont you take Jet or Air India Business class why are you traveling Indigo? Isn't it below your dignity to fly an economy flight if you are so special and not like others?
The lady got the message – she is a part of crowd too, she is no different. But she didnt budge. After narrating this story to me my sister said you know we feel special for ourselves but feel other's as "crowd". We forget we are part of the same (in general and spiritual context too). The reason she told me this was – I was driving, picked her up from airport and was cribbing about traffic stating "driving is no fun here, it is a ordeal". She told me we are all equal why are you cribbing?
This cribbing was specially for those who drive Innova or other very long car – monster actually – alone to office or for those who cut lanes just to save their two-three minutes – end up messing whole road. She told me – accept this mess, you will be peaceful. Also, if you think the person cutting lane is crowd, you too are the same for him/her. Accept that traffic is going to be here – you are no special – in fact at times you are the traffic! We laughed, I learnt my lesson, though I still crib about traffic – bit less though. Knowledge will sink slowly.
I wish Shashi Throor (and many others) too had a sister like my sister who can teach him/her – we are unique, yet same. We all are Marty of Madagascar – we need to identify that others are equally unique and like us. At times we're the traffic. We're the cattle / sheep – pun intended – following the one ahead of us – by wheedling someone (praising an incompetent).
PS – The blog is to make a point – we are unique yet similar and are equal humans. There should not be any ego. "Cattle class" of Shashi Throor happened to be a pertinent example. The author does not intend to malign political personality or defame/demean anyone (including Shashi Throor).

Marseille vs Rennes PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 10/03/2021
Today's Predictions Ligue 1 Free Bets
Marseille vs Rennes Prediction was posted on: March 8, 2021
Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Olympique Marseille will be aiming to bounce back from an embarrassing 2-1 loss to Canet Roussillon in the Coupe de France when they take on Rennes in the Ligue 1 round 22. OM aim to give their angry fans something to cheer about, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in the postponed fixture. Midfielder Gueye is banned for the match, while both Amavi and Rongier are sidelined with injuries.
Rennes, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Olympique Lyon. Since both Marseille and Rennes are likely to go for a win in Wednesday's clash, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Traore and Martin are banned for the game, while Salin is out of contention with injury. In the first half of the season Rennes defeated Marseille 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Kevin Strootman):
After starting his senior career at Sparta Rotterdam, Kevin Strootman joined fellow Dutch side Utrecht in 2011. The defensive midfielder, who was born on February 13, 1990 in Ridderkerk, Netherlands, then moved to PSV where he established himself as a first-team regular. Strootman was then spotted by AS Roma scouts and in 2013 he decided to take a step forward in his career by joining the Giallorossi.
On March 9, 2014, the Dutch footballer sustained a serious knee injury that made him miss the remainder of the 2013/2014 Serie A season. He missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup as well, but he returned to contention on November 9, 2014. Kevin Strootman played for Roma until August 28 when he signed a five-year contract with Olympique Marseille.
Speaking of his international career, Strootman made his Netherlands debut against Austria in 2011 and he scored his first ever goal for the Dutch national team in Euro 2012 qualifier against Finland. Kevin Strootman's preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Rennes):
Stade Rennais Football Club or simply Rennes is a French football club which was founded on March 10, 1901. The club is one of the founding members of the French Ligue 1 and they are nicknamed Les Rouges et Noirs. Roazhon Park is the club's home ground and the venue can hold 29.778 people. Rennes have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy, but they won Coupe de France title on two occasions (1964/1965, 1970/1971). Speaking of Coupe de la Ligue, les Rouges et Noirs made it to the final of the competition in the 2012/2013 season, but they were beaten by Saint Etienne (1-0) in the title game at Stade de France.
A number of top-class footballers played for Stade Rennais Football Club in the past and the likes of Sylvain Wiltord, Yoann Gourcuff, Yann M'Vila, Moussa Sow and Jimmy Briand are considered the club's most notable players. Rennes footballers wear black and red jerseys when playing at home, while they wear white when playing on the travels.

Marriage Allowance - Alpha Assessment
The Marriage Allowance service will allow a customer with unused personal allowances to transfer a set amount (£1060 in 2015/16) to their spouse or civil partner, to reduce the couples overall tax bill.
Department / Agency:
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)
Date of Assessment:
Assessment stage:
Alpha Review
Result of Assessment:
Lead Assessor:
H. Garrett
Service Manager:
M. Etherington
Digital Leader:
M. Dearnley
The Marriage Allowance service has been reviewed against the 26 points of the Service Standard at the end of the Alpha development.
Outcome of service assessment
After consideration we have concluded the Marriage Allowance service is on track to meet the Digital by Default Service Standard at this early stage of development.
There is a strong multidisciplinary team in place who have been working in an agile way to iterate the alpha prototype based on research. The team spoke knowledgeably about the digital service and explained the changes made to the transaction based on research, for example content changes to make it clearer which details users needed to enter and the information users would need at the start of the transaction.
The team have the appropriate safety and security measures in place and are able to iterate the transaction on a very frequent basis. They have plans in place to quickly iterate the digital service during private beta based on data and feedback about how users are using the service.
The service team explained their plan to invite users to complete the transaction during the private beta phase from the current database of almost 200,000 users who have registered their interest. The service team should not invite more than 200,000 users to complete the private beta service. Once they reach the 200,000 invites threshold the service must pass a beta assessment, which will ensure that all users can access the service directly from GOV.UK.
Point 9: Create a service that is simple and intuitive enough that users succeed first time, unaided
Whilst the team have completed research and usability testing on the individual elements of the service which they have developed, they haven't fully tested the transaction end-to-end. The assessment panel recognise that this is the first digital service that has integrated with verify at such an early stage, and as such verify doesn't currently have their prototyping solution for alpha research documented in a way that teams can find and use it easily.
The assessment panel suggest that the service team collaborate with the verify team on ongoing needs for research and prototyping resources and expect the team to research the full end-to-end journey before private beta launch, so that they can make any changes needed based on this research and are confident that the service is simple and intuitive enough that users succeed first time, unaided.
The assessment panel had some concerns about the service having an optional calculator section contained within the transaction. The GDS pattern is for calculators to exist as self-contained features on GOV.UK, which reduces confusion and complexity within the transaction. However, the timeframes involved mean that creating a standalone marriage allowance calculator on GOV.UK before the launch of the private beta wouldn't be possible, so as discussed during the assessment, we have some interim design recommendations for the calculator that we'll send through in a separate document. The assessment panel strongly recommend that the team test these designs with users before inviting users to access the private beta service.
Point 10: Put appropriate assisted digital (AD) support in place that's aimed towards those who genuinely need it
The team had accessed HMRC-commissioned research (including some specifically about the Marriage Allowance digital service). This is a great starting point, but the team should avoid making assumptions about users' AD support needs, and carry out specific research. This must be with users of the service. The team are already working with third parties to test the digital service and this could potentially extend this to include this AD research. The team will need to consider the sustainability of support that users get from third party suppliers for later service development phases.
The team are planning on inviting users who registered their interest online to access the private beta, but weren't planning to include users with the lowest levels of digital skills and access. They had thought about potential telephony channel support for users with sufficient skills and access to already be trying to use the digital service. The team must also plan to specifically test, measure and iterate the AD support required across all channels (including face to face), for users not already online.
Point 1: Understand user needs. Research to develop a deep knowledge of who the service users are and what that means for digital and assisted digital service design.
Whilst user research has been carried out during alpha, including engaging with third parties Age UK and Tax Help for Older People, the research plan for private beta does not guarantee that insights are captured from a sample representative of all potential users of the service. The team should put in place a plan for involving more people in user research than just those who have signed up using the marriage allowance registration service.
In particular, effort should be made to ensure people of State Pension age are involved in research during private beta, as it is estimated that a third of users eligible for marriage allowance will be also be eligible for State Pension.

An interesting article posted on the BBC News Health page stating that web addicts have brain changes similar to people addicted on drugs and alcohol. A study group of 35 men and women were scanned using a special MRI scan and of the seventeen that were classed as having Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) all showed disruption to connections in nerve fibres linking brain areas involved in emotions, decision making and self control.

Daniel Bilmes is a talented and successful Los Angeles-based painter. The visual impact of his work is both intriguing and familiar. His more colorful works invite the viewer to not only see, but almost feel the essence of that perfectly applied paint's tone.
In his more recent works, the spectator responds to the depth and sensuousness in the sepia-toned artist's touch. Obvious is the young artist's technical skill, however it is the personal vision that reverberates in the viewer. Bilmes' website describes his work as combining "…realism with elements of symbolism and abstraction," which "…weave together the magical and mundane." Bilmes' work has been the subject of various features including in Fine Art Today and The Blue Review's "18 Artists to Watch in 2018".
Daniel Bilmes studied with his father, Semyon Bilmes, the noted artist and teacher. Being immersed in art from such an early age has laid a lasting foundation of curiosity that continues to drive and inform his work today.
"The oil paintings of Daniel Bilmes have an ephemeral quality to them. Using light layers and a limited palette the artist paints figures that are poised in moments that feel highly symbolic." – The Blue Review

The High School Musical Series Cast All Have Cool Childhood Connections The Original Disney Channel Movie

If you grew up watching the Disney Channel circa 2006, chances are you witnessed the phenomenon that was High School Musical. It's perhaps the most quintessential Disney flick, becoming a trilogy and launching the careers of stars such as Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. Not to mention, the songs are just too catchy for fans to forget! If you weren't up to date, soon the musical will be revived on the upcoming streaming service Disney+ with High School: The Musical – The Series, and a new generation of teens will be at the center. Luckily, the have connections to the original.
The series is an Office-esque comedy musical about a production of High School Musical happening at East High, the same campus the original movie was filmed. During the recent Disney+ press day in Los Angeles, I sat down with the fresh-faced cast to discuss their own memories of the Disney Channel movies. Intriguingly enough, they all had specific connections to High School Musical long before nabbing roles on the series. Take a look:
Pretty amazing, right? To start, Olivia Rodrigo talked about the cute High School Muscial lunch box she'd carry around as a kid. The 16-year-old actress plays Nini, a character at the center of both theater drama and high school drama. Amidst being cast as Gabriella in the production, her ex-boyfriend Ricky (Joshua Bassett) is cast as Troy in an attempt to win her back. Her new man E.J. (Matt Cornett) is sidelined to the role of Chad. Not to mention she's on the bad side of transfer student Gina (Sofia Wylie) for taking the leading part she wanted.
Joshua Bassett then told us about the time he was in a production of High School Musical as a kid too! What are the chances? Especially considering this show is about the making of a production of High School Musical. It's quite self-aware. The actor was already ready to bust out his "We're All In This Together" dance moves too!
Strangely enough, Sofia Wylie won tickets the High School Musical 3 premiere in Los Angeles back in 2008. The last film was the only of the three to get a theatrical release and she was flown to Los Angeles to be a part of the celebration of the movie and even met tons of Disney Channel stars. It's -- of course -- Matt Cornett's story that really wins this question, since he had a High School Musical-themed singing toothbrush! He literally had daily preparation going ahead of his biggest role yet!
The 10-episode series is one of much exclusive television coming to Disney+ on launch day, such as the well-reviewed Star Wars series The Mandalorian and The World According to Jeff Goldblum. The first episode of High School Musical: The Musical – The Series will actually premiere first on ABC, Disney Channel and Freeform on November 8, ahead of its availability on the platform November 12. The show has already been renewed for a second season, too, so don't fret about it getting cancelled.

Forget the Roses match, the Ashes or any other sporting rivalry you care to think of, none compared to that of the Duke of Cleveland and the Earl of Northumberland. It was in the far north of the county at Stanwick near Richmond where these two noblemen locked horns on the cricket field. After an exciting game, apparently the Earl's XI prevailed over the Duke XI and so marked the beginning of cricket in Yorkshire. It was several generations later that the sport really started to take hold in the county, but the 5th August 1751 marks its beginning on Yorkshire soil.


On Jan 5, Akito Watabe '11 '(graduate of School of Sport Sciences) came in second place in the seventh match of the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup held in Estonia.
On the following day when the eighth match, Watabe came in third, coming in top three for two consecutive events.
Congratulations Watabe and all the best on your future games!


1. In medium mixing bowl, scramble eggs, egg whites, skim milk and pepper.
2. In medium skillet, heat black beans and salsa over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring well. Set aside and keep warm. In large non-stick skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Cook eggs for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to scramble.
3. Place tortillas on work surface. Divide egg mixture equally in center of each tortilla. Add black bean mixture and cheese evenly over eggs. Add desired toppings and serve immediately.
These scrumptious, savory crêpes are easy to make and will bring an elegant flair to your special brunch menu. Using canola oil in the crêpe batter rather than butter and replacing some of the white flour with whole-grain flour makes the crêpes healthier without sacrificing their rich, decadent taste.

I've actually read the Raymond Khoury book of the same name - now, apparently NBC are going to turn it into a miniseries.
From the CNW Group:
"Canwest Broadcasting announced today that Global's new Canadian miniseries "The Last Templar" from Muse Entertainment Enterprises has been picked-up by U.S. network NBC and will be simulcast with Global this December. The romantic adventure stars Oscar® winner Mira Sorvino ("Mighty Aphrodite") and Canadian Victor Garber ("Alias").
The four-hour-long exotic miniseries, based on Raymond Khoury's best-selling novel, is being revised for the screen by multiple award-winning Canadian writer and producer Suzette Couture ("Million Dollar Babies", "Road to Avonlea") - her first production for Canwest. Shooting will begin on location in Montreal and Morocco next month."
Okay - the first thing that struck me was the term "romantic adventure" - have these guys actually read the book - it's no more a romantic adventure that Clive Cussler's "Raise the Titanic" (okay there was a bit a sexual tension in that) but still .....
More from the article:
"In "The Last Templar", Mira Sorvino stars as Tess Chaykin, a Manhattan archaeologist who is drawn into a fast-paced mystery concerning the lost secrets of the medieval Templar Knights. Victor Garber co-stars as the Monsignor De Angelis.
"The Last Templar" opens with the fall of the Latin Kingdom's reign in the Holy Land in Acre in 1291. As the burning city falls to the Sultan's forces, a lone galley escapes out to sea, carrying a young Templar knight, Martin of Carmaux, his mentor Aimard of Villiers, and a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. But the ship never reaches its destination.
Later, in present-day New York, Chaykin (Sorvino) witnesses four masked horsemen, dressed as Templar Knights, who storm into the Metropolitan Museum, scattering Manhattan society gathered for the gala opening night of an exhibition of Vatican treasures. She watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular - a strange-geared device that he grabs as he disappears into Central Park.
As the horsemen's dead bodies start turning up - and the importance of the stolen device becomes more apparent - Tess and FBI Agent Sean Reilly are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, and of the last surviving Templars' fateful journey from Acre. The pair is propelled into a treacherous adventure that takes them through the sewers of Manhattan, across continents to desolate Turkish highlands to a violent storm on the Mediterranean that shipwrecks them onto a remote Greek island - and into the very heart of an incredible Vatican secret. "
Romantic adventure no ..... adventure, yes ....
What do others think?

Lilly Zelmanovic (geboren 1926 in Ungarn als Lilly Jacob; gestorben 17. Dezember 1999 in den Vereinigten Staaten) war eine US-amerikanische Holocaust-Überlebende ungarischer Herkunft. Sie wurde 1944 in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert und überlebte als einzige ihrer Familie. Sie wurde durch den Zufallsfund eines Fotoalbums der SS-Wachen bekannt, welches Aufnahmen aus Auschwitz enthielt und ein wichtiges Dokument zur Shoah ist.

Leben
Lilly Zelmanovic war das älteste Kind der Familie Jacob aus dem Dorf Bilky/Bilek und hatte fünf jüngere Brüder: Moshe-Aron, Zisl, Moshe-Hersh, die Zwillinge Zril und Zeilek. Lillys Vater Martin war Bauer und handelte mit Pferden. Lilly erlebte in ihrer Kindheit keinen Antisemitismus.

Sie wurde ab Mai 1944 ein Opfer der NS-Judenverfolgung in Ungarn und zusammen mit ihrer Familie in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert. Bei der Selektion auf der sogenannten "Rampe" wurde sie von den übrigen Mitgliedern ihrer Familie getrennt, welche allesamt nicht überlebten.
Sie überlebte die Haftzeit im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau und im Konzentrationslager Mittelbau-Dora. In letzterem erkrankte sie an Typhus. Dort in Nordhausen wurde sie von amerikanischen Truppen befreit und auf eine vorher von der SS für deren Militärs genutzte Krankenstation gebracht. Am Tag ihrer Befreiung fand sie in den verlassenen Baracken ein Fotoalbum mit Aufnahmen aus dem KZ Auschwitz. Auf diesen waren auch Menschen aus ihrem Dorf zu sehen, der Rabbi, Nachbarn sowie eigene enge Angehörige, neben ihrer Tante mit ihren Kindern, zwei ihrer Brüder und ihre Großeltern- kurz vor der Selektion und Ermordung.

Oft wird ihr Mädchenname mit diesem Foto-Album aus Auschwitz verknüpft (etwa als Lilly-Jacob-Album).

Nach dem Krieg heiratete sie Max Zelmanovic, einen Bekannten aus der Vorkriegszeit. Der Verkauf von Glasplattenfotografien aus dem Album an das jüdische Museum in Prag ermöglichte es dem Paar, im Jahr 1948 mit seiner 1946 geborenen Tochter Esther in die Vereinigten Staaten auszuwandern. Sie zogen nach Miami. In den Folgejahren verbreitete sich, dass Zelmanovic im Besitz des Fotoalbums war, so dass häufig Angehörige von Opfern der Shoah sich bei Lilly meldeten und darum baten, die Fotos zu sehen. Diejenigen, die einen Angehörigen identifizieren konnten, durften das Foto oft behalten. Da es aber nur wenige Angehörige gab, auf die dies zutraf, war dies selten der Fall.

Als Zeugin nahm sie mit der Fotosammlung 1963 in Frankfurt am dortigen Auschwitz-Prozess teil (118. Verhandlungstag).

Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes heiratete sie 1978 Eric Meier aus Hannover.

1980 konnte Serge Klarsfeld sie davon überzeugen, das Album der Gedenkstätte Yad Vashem zur Verwahrung zu überlassen. Sie besuchte Jerusalem, zeigte es dem damaligen Premierminister Menachem Begin und übergab es an die Gedenkstätte, wo es bis heute aufbewahrt wird.

Der Name von Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier änderte sich durch Heirat in der Nachkriegszeit mehrfach (Zelmanovic, Meier; Lilly Jacob auch in der Schreibweise Lili).

Sie starb am 17. Dezember 1999.

Das Fotoalbum

Die 193 Fotos zeigen fast alle die Ankunft gefangen genommener ungarischer Juden aus der Karpato-Ukraine im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz im Frühsommer 1944. Viele der abgebildeten Personen wurden ebenso wie die Familie Jacob in Zugtransporten aus dem NS-Sammellager in Berehowe/Berehovo deportiert. Es ist, soweit bis heute bekannt, das einzige fotografische Beweismaterial von der Ankunft eines "Judentransports" im Zug im NS-Judenvernichtungslager KZ Auschwitz II in der nach der polnischen Niederlage als deutsch annektierten "Provinz Schlesien" (bzw. Oberschlesien – westlich von Krakau). Die Fotografien sind wahrscheinlich von Mitgliedern der SS-Totenkopf-Wachmannschaft (professionellen Fotografen) bei der Ankunft von drei Zügen erstellt worden. Die Fotos im Album zeigen fast den gesamten Ablauf einer Selektion der ungarischen Gefangenen bis kurz vor ihrer Tötung in den Gaskammern. Dadurch unterscheidet sich die Bildqualität deutlich sehr stark von den vier heimlichen Aufnahmen des Häftlings Alex (= Alberto Errera) des Sonderkommandos von den Vernichtungsvorgängen, die etwa zeitgleich am gleichen Ort entstanden sein müssen.

Einige Fotos aus dem Album fehlen offensichtlich. Frau Jacob erklärt dies damit, dass sie einzelne Fotografien dann an Angehörige verschenkte, wenn die jemanden aus der eigenen Familie auf den Bildern gesehen haben. Einige Foto-Repros wurden bereits in der Nachkriegszeit mit ihrer Zustimmung für Ausstellungen zum Beispiel des jüdischen Museums in Prag und in der Gedenkstätte KZ Auschwitz verwendet und waren dadurch der Öffentlichkeit bereits vor der 1980 erfolgten Veröffentlichung des Albums durch Serge Klarsfeld, Paris, und der Übergabe an Yad Vashem bekannt.

It's not until you get into the fine print of the story that you discover "many" means "about half of the more than 50 speakers." In other words, about 25 people called for higher taxes. And of those quoted by the paper, see if you can detect any similarities.
There was the taxpayer-funded director of Washoe County Senior Services. There was a taxpayer-funded teacher. There was a taxpayer-funded school nurse. And a taxpayer-funded database administrator for the university system.
By the way, the EXACT same story also appeared this morning in the Nevada Appeal, but the headline was "Some Nevadans call for tax hikes." A much more honest headline.

A deadly fungus is killing millions of bats in the U.S. Now it's in California
By Louis Sahagun
California officials have confirmed four cases of white-nose syndrome in Northern California. The disease has killed millions of bats nationwide since it was discovered in 2006. In this file photo, an infected bat has a white fungus growing on its muzzle. (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)
A mysterious fungus that has killed millions of bats in the eastern United States and left caves littered with their tiny carcasses has arrived in Northern California and appears poised to spread throughout the state, according to officials.
Government biologists confirmed Friday that a number of bats found near Lassen Volcanic National Park had tested positive for the germ that causes white-nose syndrome — a relatively new disease that leaves a trademark smudge of white on the infected animal's muzzle.
The illness, which is caused by a cold-loving fungus, appeared suddenly in the Northeast just over a decade ago and has moved steadily west. The fungus has devastated North American bat species in some regions and pushed the natural pest controllers toward extinction.
According to California biologists, the fungus was detected in four bats found roosting within houses and a bank building in the town of Chester, about 15 miles southeast of the park. The first case was detected a year ago, and the others much more recently, officials said.
"We all thought we were going to have more time before it got this far west," said Winifred Frick, a UC Santa Cruz biologist and chief scientist with Bat Conservation International. "We should all be very concerned about this heartbreaking discovery."
Since it was first discovered in New York 12 years ago, the fungus has swept across 38 states, and killed legions of bats. A majority of the dead were little brown bats — one of the most common mammals in North America — but scientists say that most of the 45 species of bats in the U.S. and Canada may be susceptible to the disease. (The fungus is not known to cause illness in humans, according to officials.)
The discovery in Northern California was a setback for state and federal efforts to slow the spread of the fungus. Those initiatives have included restricting human access to caves where tens of thousands of bats spend their winters in hibernation, as well as continuing attempts to develop a vaccine.
"There is no silver bullet when it comes to a cure," Frick said.
Unlike other areas of the country, where bats gather in large numbers, California bats tend to congregate in much smaller groups beneath freeway overpasses, on rocky hillsides, in attics and within the fronds of swaying palm trees.
Although it is possible that warmer West Coast temperatures and smaller groupings of bats could slow the pathogen's transmission, there is no reason to believe it won't eventually make its way to Southern California, said Jeremy Coleman, national white-nose syndrome coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

"We know the losses of bats in the West will be less conspicuous than in the Northeast, where thousands of dead bats are spilling out of cold, dark caves and across the countryside," Coleman said. "Beyond that, however, there are a lot of critical unknowns. For instance, we don't know exactly where bats in California hang out, or how the disease will ultimately manifest in the state's warmer climate."
Scott Osborn, statewide coordinator of small mammal conservation for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, said his agency was filing formal requests for additional funding, staffing and monitoring programs to deal with the pathogen.
"We're hoping that its impacts in California won't be as lightning fast and drastic as they have been in other parts of the nation," Osborn said.
The fungus that causes white-nose syndrome, Pseudogymnoascus destrucans, or Pd for short, is named partly for the destruction it has wrought on the nation's bat population. The fungus digests the skin and wings of hibernating bats, and is believed to have originated in Europe, where bats there evolved a resistance to it.
Once the fungus made its way to North America however, bats had little time to develop an immunity before they were killed in large numbers.
The disease was first documented in a cave near Albany, N.Y., and then began to spread westward along migratory flyways. Initially, the fungus was identified as Geomyces destructans, but was later determined to belong to another genus.
"We knew this was inevitable, but we are dismayed by the speed," Coleman said of Pd's spread. "I wish it was science fiction and not reality."
Scientists are scrambling to find a solution to the epidemic, because bats fill a vital ecological role that also benefits humans.
At night, they feast on mosquitoes — some of which transmit West Nile virus — and they also devour agricultural pests that damage cotton and corn crops. Recent studies estimate that the value of pest control provided by bats each year is at least $3.7 billion nationwide. They also pollinate the agave plant, which is used to make tequila, as well as the saguaro, the state cactus of Arizona.
During that portion of the year when there are no insects to eat, bats must hibernate to survive — and this has allowed the deadly fungus to flourish. During hibernation, a bat's body temperature drops to the ideal range for fungi to grow, while the bat's immune system becomes suppressed. Infected bats will wake far more often than they should during hibernation and deplete their life-sustaining fat supply.
Because of the size of bat colonies and the many ways in which they interact — reproduction, hibernation, swarming, mother and pup activities — it would take only one infected bat to start a local epidemic.
The fungus can persist in cave environments for decades even in the absence of bats. It is usually transmitted through direct contact, but spores can cling to clothing, footwear and caving gear and in this manner, humans can unwittingly transport the spores to new locations.
Scientists have considered using fungicides to fight the disease, but studies have shown they could kill other microbes in caves, perhaps setting off a chain of unintended consequences. Another option — placing heaters in caves — would disrupt bat hibernation, those studies found.
Another plan that was ultimately dismissed as being too impractical was using decommissioned military bunkers as artificial hibernation chambers for wintering bat populations. Temperature-controlled bunkers — which could be decontaminated in the summer — would have enabled biologists to monitor behavior and administer possible treatments for the disease.
A more recent idea that holds promise would be to spray a jelly-like vaccine onto the skin of hibernating bats. The naturally fastidious groomers would consume the medicine as they licked each other's faces and ears. Officials said it will take several years, however, to develop a viable vaccine.
Ironically, white-nose syndrome's arrival in California comes at a time when local naturalists are taking increasing notice of the chocolate-brown, mouse-sized insectivores.
Armed with electronic bat detection devices, Miguel Ordeñana, a mammal expert at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, recently confirmed at least five species of bats in the greater Los Angeles area. He has spotted them "flying over every neighborhood in the region — from South Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley to El Segundo and downtown," he said.
The most common bat in the Los Angeles area is the Mexican free-tail bat, which gets its name from a quarter-inch-long tail that extends beyond the edge of its tail membrane. The bat has a wingspan of 8 to 10 inches, flies high and fast, and eats moths and other insects.
"Judging from the results of my surveys, local bats are doing better than we thought," Ordeñana said.
But the discovery of the fungus has suddenly added a sense of foreboding to summer evening "Bats and Brews on the River" strolls along a stretch of the Los Angeles River north of downtown. The public events sponsored by the nonprofit Friends of the Los Angeles River aim to introduce participants to the rhythms of bat life in the vicinity of their own backyards.
"Our goal is to excite and inspire people about the remarkable creatures that share the air space over our urban ecosystem every night," said Michael Atkins, a spokesman for FoLAR. "The sadness would be to have to say 10 years from now, bats used to be everywhere."

The sight(vision) is limited to 600 meters, but that distance could be infinitely closed down because of Zero's right eye. He focused on the forehead of the mutated wolf that was about a kilometre away from him.
He calculated the possible errors in the trajectory and corrected them. Zero gentle pulled the trigger of the rifle. The mutated wolf that he was looking at was hit by the bullet next moment. It's body fell to the ground.
The silence was dormant in the canyon as Zero had used muffler to make sure that sounds don't echo because of his shooting.
He put the rifle back on his pine and moved towards the corpse of the mutated wolf like a ghost. Zero's movements were gentle and rapid. There wasn't a monster in the canyon which was aware of the uninvited guest.
Zero deliberately didn't hide his figure. It was the third adult alpha male mutated wolf that he killed. However, the wolves didn't find any abnormalities yet. He was running at 60 km per hour speed and was far away from his previous location.
Zero was standing next to the corpse of the wolf after a minute. He squatted down and cut off its fangs and picked them. He put them into his backpack. The fangs would be proof that he had killed a mutated wolf and he was going to exchange them for monetary compensation.
Zero slipped down the ditch and climbed over a boulder. He looked around and chose a rock. The side of the rock which was exposed to the lights of the sun was exuding high fever. Zero felt the heat even as he hid under the shadow of the rock. He was wearing a protective clothing of grey colour. It was coloured so to look like mountain rocks for camouflage.
You could cook an egg under the strong ultraviolet sun rays. He felt a bit hot, but there was no sweat on his body or face. His body automatically adjusted the temperature which was some kind of ability which he wasn't aware of the details.
The hot wind blew as it brought the smell of the mutated wolves. Zero wasn't eager to act but was waiting for the right time to act. He was planning to use the explosion to kill most of these beasts. The ones who would be left out of the pack wouldn't be able to escape from his shooting range!
He silently moved to the top of the canyon. He found a proper place to bury the detonator. It was under a heap of rocks. He calculated the angle of the explosion. Zero was simulating the situation that would happen after the explosion in his mind. Rocks would fall onto the heads of the pack of mutated wolves that would be passing by. A sudden attack would make sure that about 80% of the mutated wolves would be dead. The rest would be injured, and a small percentage would come out without a scratch.
He sensed a different smell as he was burying the last detonator.
It was the smell of blood. It was a fresh smell, and it included some other flavour too. He couldn't tell what that flavour belonged to. He didn't have a memory of this smell. However, the picture of the mutated wolf popped up in his mind as he sensed the smell of blood.
The smell was exuding from somewhere ontop of the canyon so the mutated wolves that were within the canyon couldn't detect it. He wouldn't be able to detect it if he wasn't close to the source of the smell too.
He pulled out his dagger from its sheath. At close range, dagger was far more useful that a rifle that was a single-shot firearm.
Zero was like a cheetah who jumped from rock to rock.
Zero followed the trace of the smell and found a cave under a rock.
The bloody smell was floating out from the cave.
Zero saw traces of something is dragging on the sand outside the cave. He sensed the smell of dead mutated wolves. Zero frowned as he looked carefully into the cave. It didn't take long before he saw white-gray hair.
Zero was able to imagine what kind of atrocity has happened within the cave.
An unknown creature had dragged a mutated wolf into the cave and killed it.
He looked at the traces of the claws and their depths on the sand and rock outside the cave. It should be an alpha male mutated wolf. Only an adult alpha male mutated wolf would have strength to leave traces on the rocks with its claws.
Zero couldn't imagine what kind of monster or creature could capture a live adult alpha male mutated wolf. He could only think of 'butcher' who would have the physical strength to accomplish this feat.
However, there was no other trace but the marks made by the claws of the wolf on the sand. It was a proof that the creature that got the mutated wolf into the cave wasn't large. Moreover, its weight had to be light so that it hadn't left any trace on the sand.
His palms got more tighter as he clenched the dagger.
At the same time, he felt needle-like things tingle his skin. It was a danger signal. The silver stripes on his golden right eye immediately contracted as the cave was reflected in his eye.
The cave wasn't a large one. However, it was splashed with the blood of the mutated wolf all over it. Intestines and visceral organs of the mutated wolf were thrown around. Its blood was mixed with sand and had turned into mud. According to Zero, the mutated wolf was killed no more than 10 minutes ago!
He was laying detonators close-by, but he hadn't detected the actions. Zero got goose bumps. He was always very sensitive towards the danger. But this time he hadn't felt anything!
He used the dagger to cut open wolf's wound. Zero wrinkled his brows as he looked at the irregular rupture at the muscles close to the wound. It was clear to him that the injuries weren't made by the sharp object but were torn by a giant force. Zero stood up and left the cave. He decided to give up on hunting as there was an unknown existence with great danger to his life in the vicinity.
He was walking out of the cave when he felt a foreign object under his foot. He bowed to pick a piece of iron.
Zero picked up the thumb-sized iron which had letters engraved in English on top of it. The letters were seriously worn, but he could only read two of them "HA". He didn't know what it referred to, but he knew that it didn't belong to mutated wolves or other monsters. It may belong the person who had used his/her hands to tear apart the wolf.
He left the cave as he threw the iron piece into his backpack. He stepped on the sand outside the cave when he heard the screams of the mutated wolves from the bottom. He quickly hid under the rock as he looked down/.
Blood flew like a river!
A head of a mutated wolf was lying on the ground. Another mutated wolf had its belly torn while one had its head twisted. There were some whose organs were strangled out while limbs of the others were twisted. It was a massacre, and from the way, the things had happened the murder should be the one from the cave.
He listened to the scream and roar of the mutated wolf. Zero turned towards the source of the sound which was coming from the end of the canyon. More than a dozen adult male mutated wolves had a figure in a siege. He changed his vision, but the battle was already over.
It was a person. But the head of the mutated wolf which he had pulled up was blocking his face. Zero couldn't see the man's appearance. He only saw that the person grabbed from the neck of the mutated wolf with his other hand and used force to separate its head from the body.
The person threw the body of the wolf towards the direction of Zero. He was lost from Zero's field of vision for a moment. The man was not there when the body of the mutated wolf landed.
Zero appeared at the scene after 10 minutes.
He didn't dare to rush over because of few reasons. The most important were that the defensive power of his body couldn't withstand the attack of a person who could tear apart the body of a mutated wolf. He quickly checked the scene. He didn't find anything valuable except the flesh and meat of the wolves.
He left the canyon and ran towards the Z7 base the fastest he could. He had to report the information to the Old Jack. There was a humanoid creature close to the base which was very dangerous!
Zero stopped when he was about a kilometre away from the base.
There was a dead body of a mutated wolf. Its limbs were still twitching. It meant that it wasn't dead yet but would die soon.
However, he felt more gloomy.
Whatever that humanoid creature was, it was heading towards the base!
The proper word, i think, is suppressor. Not muffler. That is unless their shooting their rounds through a car's exhaust.


LOS ANGELES - Since September, undocumented adults living in America legally through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have been in limbo.
The Obama-signed program protects from deportation "Dreamer" children who entered the United States more than a decade ago and have remained illegally. When the Trump administration last year announced March 5 as the end of the program, more than 700,000 people — many of whom have no home outside the country — saw their futures become uncertain.
After giving the government personal information on themselves and their families for vetting, and also applying and paying for renewal of their temporary status every two years, they had thought they would be able to live, work, and go to school in the United States indefinitely — not as citizens but also not illegally.
But the Trump administration has shown a commitment to ending DACA through federal courts, despite U.S. judges temporarily blocking the government from implementing the March deadline.
"I have felt a real fear, an incredible amount of pressure and fear, ever since September," said Daishi Tanaka, a 20-year-old DACA recipient and Harvard University student born in Shizuoka Prefecture, about his state of mind since the announcement that DACA would come to an end.
While he is set to graduate next summer, DACA only protects Tanaka through February 2019 — preventing him from finding employment in the United States after graduation, even with a bachelor's degree from Harvard. Tanaka, who is one of approximately 130 Japanese DACA recipients, lived in the United States without legal status for 12 years. His Japanese father and Filipino mother, who both have family living in the United States legally, brought Tanaka to Los Angeles as a 6-year-old.
He has not seen his parents — who initially returned separately to their home countries before his mother was later able to return to Shizuoka — since shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
Tanaka is unable to obtain a U.S. passport that would allow him to return after leaving the country, and his parents are not permitted to return after overstaying their visas.
Though they would like for him to live in Japan with them, Tanaka is steadfast in his desire to stay in the United States and eventually apply to law school — something he can do only if Congress agrees on a bill that would allow him to stay legally.
Tanaka, who aspires to become an immigration lawyer, would not accept legal status if it means deporting undocumented parents of DACA recipients and others living and working in the United States illegally.
"You have to protect all of the (undocumented) 11 million in the country … who are being criminalized every day by the … words of Donald Trump," said Tanaka, who plans to submit a renewal application that if accepted would allow him to stay beyond his graduation from Harvard next year.
Twenty-seven year old Daniel, a former DACA recipient from South Korea who asked that his name be concealed as he considers legal U.S. immigration options, similarly pursued his education and career in the United States alone.
For five years he was unable to see his parents, who had returned to South Korea after more than a decade of fighting for legal status in the United States following an unfulfilled promise of employer-sponsored visas. With DACA status, the consultant was able to obtain a master's degree and a well-paid job in California.
When Trump promised to rescind DACA during his presidential campaign, Daniel became less sure about how long he could continue living in the United States. Unwilling to disrupt his career and return to a country that hasn't been home for more than 17 years, Daniel obtained permanent residency in Canada. A month before Trump announced that DACA would be ending, seeing no better options, he moved to Ontario.
"I was prepared to say, 'I don't ever want to leave the U.S.," said Daniel. "But when Trump got in the picture, that wasn't conceivable anymore. "Maybe he'll actually pull through and do something nice," he said.
Currently, DACA recipients can apply for renewals as legal battles work their way through appeals courts and, eventually, the Supreme Court. But the government has stopped processing new applications, and Congress has not yet passed legislation that would allow DACA recipients to legally remain in the country and work.

Persistence of social signatures in human communication
Some researchers try to identify archaeological traces of symbolic thought among our ancestors in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. These researchers believe that if they can find such traces, they necessarily imply that the people concerned had a sufficiently elaborate communication system to share with one another the meanings behind the symbols they used. (In contrast the methods of manufacturing tools could presumably be shared by simple imitation.) In short, these people must have had a language.
The material artifacts of a symbolic culture may include personal ornaments, decorated tools, engraved bones and stones, graves, tomb objects, notation systems, musical instruments, and so on. All of these objects bear representations that have no iconic relationship with their meaning. They can also refer to non-instrumental behaviours that occur in human populations.
Language certainly constitutes an important asset for survival, but less so for the individual than for the group. Language is above all a shared attribute of a group of individuals, and in this regard, it favours the selection of groups and not of particular persons. This is the case for any animal community that has an effective means of communication. For example, like humans, bees and ants can react as a group to an outside event, thus becoming the subject of evolution by selection of groups rather than selection of individuals.
"The first steps toward language are a mystery."
- Steven Pinker
"The question of where language comes from may simply be unanswerable."
- Richard Lewontin
"This task intrigues people because it's about us. But that doesn't make it a scientific question. It may be important for us to know where we came from, but if we can't answer that question scientifically, we can't answer it. If you want to tell stories, well then, tell stories."
- Noam Chomsky
THE ORIGINS OF LANGAGE
The origins of language have given rise to many debates over the years. In 1866, the Linguistics Society of Paris even declared this question irresolvable and thenceforth refused to accept any more papers on the subject. Because spoken language is by definition impermanent, we have only indirect evidence of how it emerged. That is why so many different hypotheses have been offered about the origins of language, each one more imaginative and speculative than the one that preceded it.
First, there are what might be called the vocal theories of the origins of language. According to these theories, about 100 000 years ago, certain changes in the mouth and the pharynx (follow the Tool module link to the left) combined with an increased brain volume to give human beings voluntary control over vocal outputs that up to then had been more like instinctive cries. There are many variants of these vocal theories.
Some authors speculate that human language arose from the development of onomatopoeia: the imitation of sounds in the environment. Other authors say that language developed from cries of joy, cries of pain, and other involuntary exclamations. Still others, including Charles Darwin, argued that people developed oral language by using their mouths to imitate the gestures of an existing language for which they had until then used their hands.
According to another hypothesis, the use of arbitrary symbolic sounds developed from the cries that primates used to alert one another to the presence of predators, of edible or poisonous foods, and so on. Other yet more sophisticated theories propose, for example, that human language became so elaborate because early humans' cries and vocalizations revealed their mental states, and so some individuals learned to imitate these sounds to obtain certain selective privileges and advantages.
Another school of thought posits the gestural theory of the origins of language. This theory holds that one of the first effects of the transition to walking on two legs was to free the upper limbs and make them available for gestural communication. Subsequently, vocal language developed, thus freeing the hands for other uses.
Research on the sign language used by deaf people has yielded some arguments that support the gestural theory. These studies have shown that from a grammatical standpoint, sign language is just as sophisticated as spoken language. They have also shown that sign language calls on the same "language areas" in the left hemisphere as spoken languages do (follow the Tool module link to the left), and in particular Broca's area, which lies very close to the motor areas that control the arms and hands. The gestural theory of the origins of language would also explain why chimpanzees can learn the rudiments of sign language but cannot acquire spoken language.
Gestural theory might also explain why the stone tools used by the first hominids evolved so little for nearly 2 million years, even though these early humans' brain size was increasing. If they were using their hands to communicate, perhaps that made them less available for refining their stone tools.
The proponents of the gestural theory of the origins of language believe that the transition to spoken language probably proceeded gradually until about 50 000 years ago, when spoken language became far more predominant, thus permanently freeing the hands to accomplish the staggering technological and artistic advances of that period.
According to another set of theories, language emerged from the complexity of the social world in which primates lived. In this regard, these theories contrast with the other theories that emphasize exchanging information about the physical environment for pragmatic purposes such as more effective hunting.
British anthropologist Robin Dunbar's "gossip" theory is one of these theories based on social complexity. Around the mid-1990s, Dunbar pointed out that the majority of people's conversations are devoted to gathering news either about the people they are speaking to or about third parties: in other words, to gossiping. For Dunbar, the primary function of language therefore is to exchange information about the individual's social environment: who is trustworthy, who has made alliances with whom—in short, the usual gossip.
In primates, it is mutual grooming that serves this social function, strengthening hierarchies and promoting reconciliation after conflicts. Dunbar believes that during hominization, as the number of individuals in each group increased, language simply became more effective than grooming as a tool for social cohesion.
Other authors, such as French sociolinguist Jean-Louis Dessalles, assert that humans began to talk because they are first and foremost political animals. In this sense, the great advantage that language conferred on early humans would have been the ability to persuade other people to form alliances, or to accept the truth of something that was not happening before their eyes. Thus language would have emerged because hominids needed a way to choose their allies within groups whose social structures were becoming more and more complex.
Still other authors, such as French cognitive linguist Bernard Victorri, emphasize that at a certain point in its evolution, the human species experienced the need to formulate laws to manage the crises arising from the increasingly complex mental lives of the members of the social group. These laws were expressed in myths such as are recounted in all human societies—"This happened, and it could happen again, but it must not." Such tales may have promoted the emergence of the narrative complexity that is unique to the human species.
But besides the nature of the mechanisms by which language originated, one other question has been haunting linguists for many years: whether language was invented just one time, or many.


SEARCH FOR THE HERO... written by Sylvia Marina ND.
Search for the hero inside yourself.
I whispered to my soul. What are the secrets you hide?
Are there any? Self-inquiry is healthy. Often in our workshops people speak of shame, I relate to that energy which for many years controlled my life.
At some time or other each of us have faced emotional setback, childhood trauma, a diagnosis, tragedies, rejection and a series of real and illusory sufferings.
There are times when it takes a very bright light bulb moment to create a tiny spark of courage to permit the future to be different to the past. Some feel the road to change is too long, but if we never seek change we continue to live in frustration and disappointment.
Breaking unhealthy patterns ie the pattern by which you think about your self if this is not supporting the picture of how you wish to be, then it is an unhealthy way of being.
The way you wish to be is confident, having surety in every situation. To some this may seem like a fantasy but I have seen it happen so often with people who attend our courses – they reach out for clarity or as the lyrics of the song say – until you find the key to your heart.
With assuredness we become enlightened and evolved, we only accept the love we truly deserve. We refuse to settle for lukewarm love. In any or all of our relationships including the relationship we have with our-self, lukewarm love is not sincere, genuine or truthful. It results in illusory suffering.
Love with infrequent spark is regretful, sorrowful, shame. Those in this relationship feel some love is better than no love. Lets be clear. Apathetic love makes you believe that your relationship is worth clinging on to even though it has turned or is turning into an overwhelming and emotionally draining monster.
Apathy is happening when the effort to make change seems too hard affecting relationships of health, home, intimacy, friendships.
Search for the hero inside yourself. Until you find the key to your life.
Supportive relationship(s) are liberating giving you ample opportunity to discover your entelechy, your hidden potential.
Your healing process will not fully happen until you decide to accept nothing less than positive influences in your life.

The New Jersey State Wildlife Action Plan has been revised.
The State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) is a strategic and cost-effective strategy for preserving the state's wildlife resources for the future. Recovering species that have reached threatened or endangered status is typically more costly than preventative actions that keep species populations from reaching such declines. Proactive management actions identified in the SWAP are intended to keep species from becoming threatened or endangered or to aid in the recovery of those that are already listed.
The Division of Fish & Wildlife has revised our 2005 Wildlife Action Plan as required by Congress to continue receiving federal State Wildlife Grants. More importantly, New Jersey's revised Plan will serve as a blueprint for conserving our wildlife heritage over the next decade. The Plan identifies priority actions that we, as a conservation community, can implement over the next five to ten years to address the myriad threats facing our wildlife populations and their habitats.
New Jersey's State Wildlife Action Plan (2018) was approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in July, 2018. The Plan was the work of the NJDFW with over 50 stakeholder organizations, and included input from the public review period in late 2017.
What is a State Wildlife Action Plan?
State Wildlife Action Plans are proactive plans created by virtually every state and U.S. territory that assess the health of each state's wildlife and habitats, identify the problems they face, and outline the actions that are needed to conserve them over the long term. The New Jersey Wildlife Action Plan identifies both priority species and habitats, assesses the threats they face and outlines actions to take to improve or stabilize their condition.
New Jersey's 2018 Plan identifies species of greatest conservation need in New Jersey, as well as 107 focal species that are of the highest conservation priority. We expect the revised SWAP to continue to provide a guide to actions that will protect our species of greatest conservation need.
What are State Wildlife Grants?
Essentially, State Wildlife Grants (SWG) fund state programs that serve as "preventive medicine" for at-risk species, in effort to avoid federal (Endangered Species Act) listings. SWG-funded programs are based on the cooperation of partners from the public and private sectors through voluntary collaborative efforts. These efforts bring about mutually desirable, effective projects focused on fish and wildlife species as well as habitats of greatest conservation need. SWG funds must be matched with state or private money.
The entire plan can be viewed and downloaded at www.njfishandwildlife.com/ensp/wap/pdf/wap_plan18.pdf (pdf, 34mb).
