Corvallis residents most likely in U.S. to have high-speed Internet connection, report says
Updated Nov 13, 2014 ; Posted Nov 13, 2014

Nate Klauer hops online at his townhome near Beaverton. He's got one of the fastest home Internet connections in the area, but for now it's a novelty.
(Mike Rogoway / The Oregonian)
People in Corvallis are more likely than those in all 380 other U.S. metro areas to have high-speed Internet access at home, according to a report issued Thursday by the Census Bureau.
The report, based on the 2013 American Community Survey, found that 89 percent of people living in the Corvallis metro area have paid, better-than-dial-up Internet access at home.
The area, home to Oregon State University and a hefty slice of Hewlett Packard operations, narrowly beat out other highly-connected metro areas: Colorado Springs, San Jose-Santa Clara and Manchester, New Hampshire.
It also beat the Portland metro area, which is defined as stretching across seven counties. Across the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metro area, 86 percent of people have Internet access at home, the bureau said.
The bureau found that, nationwide, the most common way people access the Internet is via cable (43 percent) and that only 1 percent of people say they rely on dial-up service any more.
Small metro areas in New Mexico, Texas and Arkansas reported the least home Internet access. In Farmington, New Mexico, just 51 percent of residents said they had it.

ASEAN countries launch customs system to boost trade
Automation and Optimization, Global Trade, News, Ports and Terminals, Supply Chain
Economic ministers from the Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) countries have launched the ASEAN Customs Transit Systems (ACTS) to improve the flow of goods across the region.
The announcement builds on a commitment made in 2017, when ministers set the twin goals of reducing trade transaction costs by 10% by 2020 and doubling intra-ASEAN trade between 2017 and 2025.
To realise this goal, ACTS has been developed to allow businesses to lodge e-transit declarations directly with ASEAN Customs Authorities and to track the movement of their goods from loading at departure to delivery at the final destination.
Dato Lim Jock Hoi, the Secretary-General of ASEAN, said: "The implementation of the ASEAN Customs Transit System plays a vital role in facilitating seamless movement of goods in the region. I believe the system would be an excellent tool in enhancing ASEAN's trade and production networks as well as establishing a more unified market for its firms and consumers."
"The ACTS could also support post COVID recovery to accelerate the transit movement of medical supplies, vaccines and Personal Protective Equipment within the Member States," Jock Hoi said.
ACTS will simplify the movement of goods across the region, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Under the ACTS, the private sector can make a single customs transit declaration that covers the transport of goods across multiple ASEAN countries, without the need to make repeated Customs declarations or change vehicles at each border.
Special arrangements allow reliable traders to load their goods at their own premises in the country of departure, and to deliver the goods to their own premises at destination.
Faster Customs clearance at borders helps accelerate transit movements, and reduce the time and expense of carrying out regional trade in goods, to the benefit of producers and consumers across the continental ASEAN region.
The system is managed by a permanent ACTS Central Management Team based in the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, Indonesia, with support from the EU-funded ARISE Plus programme.
Koen Doens, Director General for International Cooperation and Development at the European Commission, commented: "The ACTS is a remarkable achievement that is testament to the strong, dynamic and long-standing partnership between ASEAN and the European Union.
"The ACTS will make the movement of goods by road quicker and easier across the borders of the participating ASEAN Member States, thereby reducing costs for businesses and citizens. The EU is proud to have joined ASEAN to make the ACTS a reality, providing European technical expertise and EUR 10 million since 2012, in addition to the EUR 5 million invested by our ASEAN partners."
ARISE Plus has provided extensive ACTS training for stakeholders in the public and private sectors, including customs authorities, government transport agencies, freight forwarders, transporters, banks and insurance companies.
Following the ASEAN Customs Transit System pilot activities in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, the system has now been formally launched.
The first successful ACTS transit movement occurred on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th October with a truck travelling from Singapore via Malaysia to Thailand. The system will soon be available in Myanmar, and depending on business needs may later be expanded to Brunei, Indonesia and Philippines.

(45 cm) apart and then planting 2 shorter willow whips as diagonals in between each to arch to hold the structure together.
Planting these whips diagonally is important to encourage denser side growth. If you weave the diagonal whips 'in front of one vertical and behind the next', this makes the structure more rigid . For a more dense initial structure you can add extra diagonals – but remember that you will be weaving in the new growth and that makes the structure more dense over time anyway.
Where the diagonals stick out beyond the ends of the tunnel, simply bend them back around the end whips and weave them back into the criss-cross pattern.
You can work out your own design of tunnel and order the number of whips you need, or you can buy one of our tunnel kits which follow the above approach.
The upper photograph shows a standard tunnel kit (with fedges attached) as just planted – the lower photograph shows a mini tunnel kit (ideal for pre-schoolers or for adding to a standard dome kit to create a living willow igloo).
New growth will start to sprout in March/April and can be woven into the structure, as soon as it is long enough, to give more strength and shape – this is actually the fun part of having a 'living' structure.

Demography is Destiny
Posted on April 27, 2012 by Baron Bodissey
Many thanks to all the readers who responded by leaving their stats in the comments. I'm surprised and gratified to hear from so many lurkers!
I've shut down the comments now so that I can collate the results and summarize them in a new post.
A few days ago our Norwegian correspondent The Observer translated a delightful article from NRK — Norway's official state broadcast service — about the demographics of the patrons of "Islamophobic" websites. Gates of Vienna was specifically listed among those sites whose readers fit the following profile:
Single, childless men over 65 years, with little or no education are overrepresented on Islam hostile websites, according to a survey done by Klassekampen ["Class Struggle" — a Norwegian communist newspaper].
I'm certain that Andreas Malm and Tor Bach, the authors of this useful report, are far better statistical analysts than I. Unfortunately, NRK does not describe these experts' investigative methodology, except to say that they "used the internet analysis tool Alexa" to discover the characteristics of the average Gates of Vienna reader.
By a happy coincidence, Dymphna and I have been handed our own batch of statistics on the demographics of our visitors. Nearly a hundred readers, most of whom usually lurk, were prompted to comment on the translated NRK report, and many of those volunteered data about themselves.
I extracted the demographic information (age, sex, marital status, number of children, and level of education) for fifty-one of those commenters. It's not a very large sample, given the thousands of readers who stop by here every day, and it's very much a self-selected group. Based on NRK's report, one might expect that the typical Gates of Vienna reader is too feeble-minded, rheumy-eyed, and palsied to read the "Captcha" characters and utilize the comment form properly. So self-selection and the senile incompetence of our readers could well have skewed the sample.
Still, our results are probably at least as meaningful as those cobbled together by Messrs. Malm and Bach.
Demography is destiny, so toothless and cretinous septuagenarians who cling bitterly to their Islamophobia are destined to become Gates of Vienna readers — if, that is, we believe those erudite geniuses at Klassekampen.
However, if our modest sample is any indication, a surprising number of men and women destined to read this blog turn out to engineers, surgeons, law students, and various professionals of all stripes.
The data drawn from the comments included 13 women and 38 men — that is, more than 25% of respondents were female, hardly the cesspit of testosterone posited by Mr. Malm. The youngest was 15, and the oldest was 77. The mean age of the participants was 43.6 years.
The level of education for the average volunteer was about halfway between a bachelor's and a master's degree.
More than half (54.9%) of the respondents were married. The average number of children for each (including all the childless participants) was 1.25.
For the purposes of this study, I've constructed a statistic called the "Concupiscence Index", which counts being married as one point, and then adds an additional point for each offspring. The scattergram below plots concupiscence against age, with color-coding to distinguish the men from the women:
As you can see, the women in our sample are somewhat older and somewhat more concupiscent than the men. The graph also makes it clear that the demographic bulge for both sexes is well under the bitter-clinger age of 65.
For those who are interested, here's a tabular breakdown of the educational level of people in our sample:
Level %
< High school 2.0%
High school 3.9%
Bachelor's 54.9%
Master's 29.4%
Ph.D. 9.8%
And this is a grouping by age:
Age %
70 & up 5.9%
Below are various comments which contributed no data to the statistical study, but may be of interest to our readers.
First, an overview from Egghead:
The archetypal GoV reader is a person with a brain AND a conscience who wants to see Western civilization survive in all its past, present, and future glory.
Also, from another reader:
Probably the one factor most GOV readers have in common is some knowledge of history.
This comment made me laugh the loudest:
If this guy [Andreas Malm] actually had access to the bond markets, well, no wonder Europe's broke.
On the methodology:
The 'research' is almost certainly the result of the 'One Big Idea' syndrome, and the 'big idea' in this case is cultural relativism, multiculturalists categorise anyone who is critical of this delusion as socially or intellectually isolated, or just barking mad.
Where do they find this tosh?
Anybody who is SERIOUS about protecting women and girls from rape, sex trafficking, bodily mutilation, enslavement, and other abuse will focus on the area where the problem is by far the most severe: the Muslim world.
From Seneca III:
The desperation, the desperation! Their search for explanations to challenging opinions in areas where only a modicum of intelligence can provide a rational, carefully reasoned riposte is pitiful.
From Beach Bum:
Nice to see all these upstanding people speaking out against the falsehoods presented about them in the Norwegian MSM.
From a man whose "political sympathies lie with the historical Left":
If you told me 5 years ago that I would today be against any immigration of non-whites into any European countries I would have told you that you were mad.
From a young man in the UK:
I'm usually less agreeing with most of you, and I'm not particularly politically minded. I think it's the fact that the Islam question so to speak has got to the stage where it's getting people involved who normally wouldn't.
I'm currently debating a vehement leftist, who is also a very strong environmentalist. Yet his views on Islam are more in line with really far to the right bordering on fascism.
From our youngest participant:
I'm a man sure, but I'm 15. I can tell you now that there will be no ''class struggle'' in my country, not whilst I'm still breathing!
From a "proud Norwegian":
Though this so called survey shames me to the roots of my patriotic heart. I read håvamål and meditate on the verses' meaning and how I can use them to evolve as a person, I read history and many other genres of literature.
And finally, this commenter probably speaks for most of our readers:
We have been here the whole time, just on mute.
A note on the methodology
As mentioned above, the data used in this study were drawn from a very small self-selected group, and thus cannot be said to signify anything, statistically speaking.
To make the results even less certain, lacunae in the data — concerning sex, age, education, marital status, or the exact number of children — were filled in by deduction and guesswork.
Readers who match the demographic profile listed by Klassekampen could have overwhelmingly avoided commenting on that post, skewing the distribution of age and other characteristics of those who decided to comment. Additionally, the commenters who did respond could be liars.
So who knows how reliable my analysis is?
However, I'd be willing to bet that it's at least as reliable as the communists' conclusions summarized in the NRK article.
And, unlike the study conducted by Andreas Malm and Tor Bach, our methodology is transparent and well-described. Anyone who wishes may harvest the same comments, fill in the gaps using the same sort of guesswork, and draw up their own version of the same statistics using widely available computer software, a hand calculator, or a pencil and paper.
There's no sleight-of-hand or flimflam here. I'm biased (and proud of it), but I don't let that influence my calculations.
Math is math.

And this article, Baron, is another example of what makes you and Dymphna such precious leaders in the counterjihad movement. The body of work you have already assembled here is priceless, in my opinion; and then there is the little matter of all you have done to nurture the counterjihad's various national movements and their interconnections.
Klassekampen and NRK sound a bit desperate to me, as if they sense the tide turning against them.

I'm a big fan of both the Baron and Dymphna as individuals and of The Gates of Vienna. But, I'm also 65. So, in the grand tradition of islamists I invoke taqiyya and lie about my age.
"I'm a big fan of both the Baron and Dymphna as individuals and of The Gates of Vienna. But, I'm also 42, so I guess their demographic is WRONG. Heh!
It is a common Tactic of the Left that if you cannot find fault with the Message, then slander the Messenger.
The Left should debate the Message, rather than Slandering the Messenger, or creating a Straw man to knock him down, as they have done with an invented group that were concerned by the Anti Social behaviour of some People claiming to be Muslims.
I am of the opinion, that there was no survey conducted by Norwegian communist newspaper but a good with unattractive human traits was created for the purposes of deception.
If the Left went to Bosnia and Herzegovina and conducted a survey, he would find that all the Non Muslims there are to put it diplomatically concerned about Islam.
This includes both males and females of all ages, and from the highly educated to the uneducated, and from the rich to the poor.
I guess that type of honest Survey does not fit in with his Secret Agenda, and so it is much easier to just accuse other of having little or no education.
The Muslim Leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina rejected a peace plan and started a war that killed approximately 100,000 People and left the Country devastated.
The Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina allowed foreign Mujahedin Jihadists to come and fight against the Non Muslims and to kill the Non Muslims, and the America set up the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, as a sham of a Political Kangaroo Court to whitewash their War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, and that of their Muslim Serb Allies, and blame it on the Innocent Christian Orthodox Serbs.
We should not believe the American led West's Version of the events of those days, because those who have researched matters know that the American led West and its Media Lie on most occasions, and on most matters.
The Muslims have the plans to crate a Greater Albania, which includes Kosovo that joins Muslim Sandzak which joins the Muslim part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and all up it is a big Muslim Confederation.
For an Honest History of the Bosnian Civil War of 1992 to 1995, you can obtain Non Hollywood true version at http://www.rastko.rs/istorija/iii/cksavich-originsofwar.html , and the Article is Titled: The Origins and Causes of the Bosnian Civil War 1992-1995.
It is written by a Historian, with a Master of Arts in History, with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and he has Juris Doctor in Law.
The Article is not too long, and is a short as it can be to give all the relevant information, and in my opinion, it is written in an unbiased and honest manner.

Let's be cautious about lumping the entire "American led West" into one big lump.
American Media and European Media have been lying for a long time.
The point here however is that "alternative media" allowed to exist from within the American Led West, (often led by Americans) is speaking out against the lies.

Yes, I am single and male and without a college degree and well into middle age and childless. However I am self identified as a black-American. Yet I have followed your website more so than any other news oriented website since your blog posts have been on the web. So far back I can recall your blog well prior to the Little Green Footballs controversies. LGF and many others have faded into the ether and many will come and go. Your focus, though it has meandered slightly over the years their is no doubt as to the compelling words and audaciousness of what you have too say. It encourages me to keep reading and to think deeply about the state of my country and this world. And I thank you for that.
Another reader who had trouble with captcha asked me to post this.
I missed the demographic poll, and attempted to post a comment to be added. However after 4 or 5 attempts to decipher, "to prove you are a real person" I gave up. To some of us older folks, the images are so blurred, and twisted, it is near impossible for me to tell if it is an i, l, t, v, s, z, and a number of other letters. Very frustrating. I also never know if it is case sensitive.
For your poll, I am a Jewish female, over 70, college educated, 2 children. Retired social worker, self educated in religious studies, history and politics.
I read your blog frequently, and all the others on the opposing list, including Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, Breitbart, PJ Media, FrontPage Mag, Citizen Warrior, and Seraphic Press. I have enjoyed your blog for years, keep up the good works.
I still have my own teeth too.

As Groucho said: "I resemble that remark." And some might make the case that my PhD does not represent education, but training in elaborate argumentation on significant topics such as the possible number of angels on a pinhead. Guess which side I am on in that discussion.
As the "young man in the UK" wrote, the threat of Islamisation is not a Left/right issue and it's about time we stopped seeing the problem in those terms. Of course islam has its "New Lefist" fellow travellers, however I doubt that the Old Left would have supported multiculturalism as the doctrine would have been regarded as counter-productive to the process of modernisation.
I'm a social democrat and I can assure conservatives that the supine attitude of the secular authorities to Islamic demands is also alarming to me .
As you're refining your stats-
Male 66, unmarried (widower) BA (International Relations) MA (Economic History) Diploma Business (Accounting) Retired accountant.
I've had an interest in medieval history for many years and I know how close Western Civilisation came to extinction in the 8th century (and later). Islam was once regarded as as a spent force and Moslem societies were more or less irrelevant to the west, and we became complacent, most people still are-that's the problem.
Male aged 60 and have been concerned about Jihad since the early 1970s when I first read of its history of occurrence ever since ancient times and in numerouis places (in an encyclopedia of history, translated from the French original). It did distract me from my college degree in statistics and in that vein count 3 offspring (from a 30 year marriage) for whose future, or lack of it, I am deeply concerned.
As the guy who plugged the "bond market joke" – seriously, I really don't think most lefties realise that governments do not produce – they only consume what has already been produced by others. (Well,… at least not the sort of governments most Westerners want to live under anyway.)
Now if you consume too much, and don't produce sufficient to match, you are going to run out of everything useful. Greece is pretty much there.
Hope it's not too late to add our voice to the survey.

Can I just add that I am a mid 30's female with 3 children. I have a university degree in social studies. My husband also reads GoV, he's an electrician. We read Gates of Vienna because there is just no way to read truthful, politically incorrect, high quality essays or articles in the main stream media today.
Also, I regularly read Bare Naked Islam, Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, Creeping Sharia, Faith Freedom, Islam Watch and Answering Muslims. I have read the Quran – Twice (a watered down version and a mainstream copy), The New Testament, reliance of the traveller, Infidels Guide to the Quran and the Crusades, Infidel and Nomad, The Post American Presidency, The Truth About Mohammed, America Alone and After America. I believe that Islam is the number one threat to humanity today, just as the Nazis were in the 1930s.

Ah, demographics. 🙂 Female, 44 yo single mother, works in a blue collar world.
High school education with a diploma in cinemagraphic makeup – I'm known for my low tech sfx.
Not sure where I'd fit into the scheme of things, although I am proud that I was invited to join Mensa at 15. (My mum didn't let me – I was too young).
Also been hanging around GoV since 2005, and proud to call the Baron and lovely Dymphna friends.
Could you please update the statistics? There's much more data now there. An update once in a while would
t hurt.

Hebes Chasma —
I will be updating the demographic results as part of a new post, after I'm fairly certain that all the comments have come in. Then I will collect, collate, and process the data. I'll update the graph, and add some interesting new graphs, just for fun.
Housewife, early 50s, bachelor's degree, two cildren. Former corporate middle manager; my last paying job paid 100K per year.
Egghead here again. So that you can add me to the statistics….
Stay-at-home mom, active community volunteer, former technical writer and community college instructor (professor by Obama standards!), holder of a bachelor's in English and Master's Degree in Corporate Communications, 44 years young(!), happily married, two children.
And my required comment words are "iviesin oCool" – and that aptly describes me. To wit, I vie sin. Oh cool! 🙂
I'm a 20 year old female student. I was born to immigrant parents that fled Islamic countries so that we could enjoy freedom. It's sad to see Islamist terrorists come to the West to preach their subversive ideology and It sickens more to see politicians make our country more like an Islamic theocracy under the guise of "tolerance" to accommodate them.
CrisisMaven on April 29, 2012 at 5:24 pm said:
By the way, looking up the demographics in Alexa for GatesOfVienna shows an "above average" amount of grad school readers as against Internet average. So I don't really know where these "analysts" got their data from. Though all this Alexa demographics is a lot of guesswork, however, the relative offsets against other sites measuered by the same toolset are likely accurate in relation to each other.

on behalf of what are probably 5 other 'older well-read enlightened ladies' that I can think of off hand — add them to your demographics.

How many responsibilities do you have?
From meeting deadlines, making appointments, and even taking care of loved ones, our days are filled with responsibilities both big and small.
And accomplishing these tasks gives us PURPOSE and GROWTH in life.
The skills acquired in the Work for Food program allow vulnerable homeless people to succeed in new jobs.
Do you want to learn more about the jobs our Work for Food clients receive? Volunteer with Food on Foot and you will hear wonderful work stories from our current Work for Food participants!
Ronald H was a homeless participant in our Work for Food Program and graduated with a full-time job and his own apartment on Thanksgiving Day, 2016.
He bounced from one location to another. After losing a job in Miami, Ronald moved back to his hometown of Los Angeles and soon found himself homeless.
Ronald enrolled in the Work for Food program and turned his life around. Ronald went through group therapy and life-skills training. He started to create a game-plan made of positive work habits.
And by cleaning the streets of Hollywood every week, Ronald was able to apply these skills in a real-world environment!
Ronald now has a full-time job as a security guard and is continuing to implement all the outstanding habits he's acquired!
When you volunteer with Food on Foot, you do more than help the community. You INSPIRE our homeless clients to practice the same positive work habits you demonstrate during the serving.
Our homeless clients exhibit these same responsible skills during their Hollywood cleaning routes.
And just like crossing a stepping stone, the homeless you inspire apply these newly acquired skills into future jobs and responsibilities.
Please volunteer and be a positive influence in the work habits of our homeless clients!! Click here to sign up.
As a volunteer, YOU will meet our happy Gray Shirts and graduates. They will enthusiastically tell you stories about their full time job. You will see how STRONG they feel every time they receive their paycheck! You can volunteer with Food on Foot on ANY SUNDAY in our Hollywood Serving location. Sign up to volunteer here!


Happy Father's Day to truly the best dad in the whole world! I hope you have a blessed, fun and relaxing day. Thanks so much for being such a great Dad!
By the way, this is what you looked like right before Angel told you she was pregnant. This photo is from the Chinese restaurant when I went down the first time a couple of months ago.
Hey Daddy! Happy Father's Day to you! I hope your day is filled with happy lovely thoughts of all your children!
Wish I could have gone to church with you this morning!
Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!! Enjoyed having you over for supper…even though it was kind of crazy for a lil while…..love ya!!

End Prison Gerrymandering
TESTIMONY TO THE LEGISLATIVE REAPPORTIONMENT COMMISSION
On a resolution to exempt prisoners serving 10+ years from being counted in their home districts
By Jenna Henry, Deputy Director, Better PA
This Commission already made the decision that was best for temporarily incarcerated Pennsylvanians. To now go back and alter that decision would not only be watering down a historical achievement by the LRC, it would create more problems.
Making an arbitrary delineation between one group of incarcerated people and another for the purposes of drawing legislative districts does nothing to solve the problem of a lack of adequate representation and constituent services for the group of incarcerated people that would still be counted in their prison district. As many Pennsylvanians, myself included, testified to during previous LRC hearings, getting services from state representatives for temporarily incarcerated citizens is complicated and, often, difficult. This is a problem for incarcerated people, their families, and for legislators. Passing this resolution would make this problem even worse, as it would create separate categories of inmates that families and legislators would have to navigate in order to determine responsibility for services.
The passing of this resolution would also be entirely arbitrary, as a person's minimum sentence is never set in stone. There are various ways that a person could be released prior to their minimum sentence including but not limited to, good behavior, completing a rehabilitation program, and re-sentencing or acquittal on appeal. There is also no guarantee that an incarcerated person would stay in the same facility for the entire duration of their sentence. One of the only things that is certain in an incarcerated person's life is where they call home.
Ultimately, anytime we're having a discussion that decides that the lives of one group of people matter less than another, we are already on a slippery slope. Whether purposeful or not, that's exactly what Leader Ward's resolution is, a discussion about who should matter less. These are not just lines on a map or numbers on a page to be compromised with. These are human beings and all their lives matter.

VR_I
Dance in virtual space
A desert landscape in glaring sunlight reaches to infinity. Five avatars are facing each other on sandy ground and shaking each other's hands. Virtual hands grasp hands of flesh and blood. What is real? What is unreal? The dance piece "VR_I" by the Swiss choreographer Gilles Jobin is a mix of performance and a 3D-film in which five audience members can submerge at once.
The levels meld: The desert suddenly ends in a city landscape or in a hut on the summit of a mountain. Equipped with VR-glasses, the audience can move freely in the real space and interact with dancers of the virtual world. Thus, dance becomes a new thing that can be experienced in a new way. For the first time, a choreographer is combining dance with virtual reality technology.
Gilles Jobin, born in Lausanne in 1964, lives and works in Geneva. He studied classical dance in Cannes and Geneva. In 1993, he became the co-director of the Théâtre de l'Usine, Geneva; later, he was named house choreographer at the Théâtre Arsenic in Lausanne. After ten years as a dancer in Madrid (1995) and London (1997), he started choreographing and founded his own company that now belongs to one of the leading dance groups in Switzerland. In 2016, he shot the 3D-film "WOMB". For "VR_I", he received the Grand Prix for the most innovative work as well as the audience prize at the Festival du nouveau cinéma (FNC), Explore, 2017 in Montréal.

Ґергарт Паннінг народився в сім'ї вчителя, відвідував гуманітарну гімназію та перервав навчання через війну. З середини вересня 1917 року був добровольцем у Першій світовій війні та отримав кілька нагород. В червні 1918 року отримав шкільний атестат Notabitur, який видавали мобілізованим на війну підліткам. Після демобілізації в середині травня 1919 року Ґергарт протягом двох семестрів вивчав філософію в Університеті Мартіна Лютера в Галле. Після навчання медицині в Мюнхені, Єні та Берліні 9 липня 1925 року витримав державний іспит і розпочав медичну практику в лікарні Ерфурта та лікарні Вірхова в Берліні.

1 липня 1926 року отримав ліцензію на медичну практику, а 29 січня 1927 року здобув ступінь доктора медицини. Після шести років асистентської практики в Інститутах патології при університетах Галле та Кенігсберга та в Інституті патології міста Магдебурга в жовтні 1933 року Паннінг став асистентом Берлінського інституту судової медицини Віктора Мюллера-Гесса.

З кінця квітня 1933 року Ґергарт Паннінг був одружений з Аннелізе Ільзе, уродженою Форгауер (Vorhauer). У пари народилося двоє синів і дочка.

1 травня 1938 року, в переддні Другої світової Паннінг був мобілізований вдруге та очолив підрозділ судових та медичних розслідувань у відділі патології Військово-медичної академії. 11 липня 1939 р. захистив дисертацію (Die vitale Reaktion am Knochen habilitiert) та отримав підвищення до рангу Oberstabsarzt, що в медичній службі було відповідником рангу майора вермахту.

1 грудня 1942 р. Паннінг розпочав викладання на кафедрі Інституту судової медицини в Бонні, а вже 28 квітня 1943 року призначений професором судово-медичної та соціальної медицини. Паннінг був консультативним судовим хірургом армійського медичного інспектора.

22 березня 1944 р. Ґергарт Паннінг помер від наслідків легеневого туберкульозу в лазареті "Waldsanatorium Schömberg" біля містечка Кальв у Вюртемберзі.

Співпраця з нацистським режимом
З 1933 р. і до мобілізації до Вермахту в травні 1938 р. він був членом добровільної нацистської організації НСМК, проте не входив до НСДАП.

На посаді завідувача патолого-анатомічного відділення Військово-медичної академії, де з травня 1938 року працював новостворений центр судових медичних розслідувань, з 21 вересня по 6 грудня 1939 року Паннінг проводив розтини та експертизу тіл етнічних німців, які загинули під час так званої Кривавої неділі в Бромбергу. Розслідування стосувалося причин смерті та використаної зброї, а особливий інтерес становили вогнепальні поранення від польських армійських гвинтівок. Цей епізод війни широко використовувався нацистською пропагандою як виправдання власних злочинів проти польського населення.

Після нападу на Радянський Союз, в червні-серпні 1941 року Паннінг долучився до розслідування використання радянською піхотою заборонених розривних набоїв. В ході очоленого ним балістичного експерименту під Житомиром були розстріляні декілька військовополонених. Згідно з матеріалами процесу Калсена (проведеного судом присяжних Дармштадта у 1968 р.), офіцер СС Пауль Блобель, що командував зондеркомандою 4a Ейнзацгрупи C, полковник Пальцо та голова армійського суду доктор Нойман (Oberkriegsgerichtsrats der Armee), залучили Паннінга для експерименту за участі групи стрільців СС і шістьох радянських військовополонених єврейського походження як мішеней:"В'язні мали стояти прямо, на колінах або лежати на різній відстані від стрільців. Лікар. П. вказував стрільцям ті частини тіла, в які вони мали поцілити розривними набоями з радянських гвинтівок. Спочатку жертвам цілили в руки, ноги або тулуб, цей постріл мав на меті лише поранити їх, і таким чином, незважаючи на страшні наслідки ураження експансивною кулею, він не був смертельним. Тоді слідували другий чи третій (смертельні) постріли в голову жертви. [...] Вбитих полонених заносили до будинку, де лікар П. проводив розтин."Паннінг у своїй публікації результатів розслідування в журналі "Der Deutsche Militärarzt" не згадував фактичні обставини експерименту. Гельмут Джеймс граф фон Мольтке, німецький юрист і учасник антинацистського Опору був причетний до розслідування як член групи з міжнародного права (використання розривних набоїв було під забороною Гаазької конвенції). 12 вересня 1941 р. в листі своїй дружині Фреї він описав експерименти Паннінга як "кульмінацію морального виродження та розбещення" та передбачив кримінальні наслідки цього військового злочину.

Згадується також участь Паннінга в ексгумаціях масових жертв НКВС на території України.

Alternative Title: Estremadura
Extremadura, comunidad autónoma (autonomous community) and historical region of Spain encompassing the southwestern provincias (provinces) of Cáceres and Badajoz. Extremadura is bounded by the autonomous communities of Castile-León to the north, Castile–La Mancha to the east, and Andalusia to the south; Portugal borders it to the west. Extremadura was established by the statute of autonomy of Feb. 25, 1983. The capital is Mérida. Area 16,075 square miles (41,634 square km). Pop. (2007 est.) 1,089,990.
Mérida: Roman theatreRoman theatre at Mérida, Spain. Håkan Svensson
Spain's Meseta Central extends south from the province of Salamanca into the province of Cáceres and declines gradually into the eroded flatlands of Cáceres. The Tagus River drains much of Cáceres, while the Guadiana River flows through the flatlands of Badajoz.
The soils of the southern plains of the basin tend to be thin, supporting only marginal grain fields and thickets of scrub. The Sierra Morena rises in the south along the border with the Andalusian provinces of Córdoba, Sevilla, and Huelva. Annual precipitation is moderate, exceeding 20 inches (500 mm) outside the eastern zones of the province of Badajoz, where it is only slightly less. The continental climate of the Meseta Central extends into Extremadura but is modified somewhat by Atlantic Ocean influences, which travel up the Tagus River valley.
The population of the province of Badajoz follows an Andalusian pattern of settlement, being concentrated in large, widely spaced towns. The population of the province of Cáceres, however, tends to cluster in small villages in the valleys. The population of Extremadura has been sparse since the Muslim occupation. Large numbers of underemployed agricultural workers have emigrated since 1900, leaving behind an ever more aged population.

The countryside remains partitioned into latifundios (large estates), which are primarily farmed by landless day labourers. Land reform was attempted under the Second Republic (1931–36) but was largely reversed by the subsequent government of Gen. Francisco Franco. Extremadura has been a major transhumant zone since the 13th century, and animal husbandry continues to account for a large fraction of the region's agricultural output. Sheep and pigs are the chief livestock and are steadily displacing goats. Significant agricultural reform was not undertaken until the late 18th century. The government allowed vineyards and olive groves to be enclosed in 1779 and extended this protection to all arable lands in 1788. The cultivation of wheat increased appreciably during the 19th century, and grapes and olives became important crops after 1860. Dry farming now predominates, with winter wheat and barley as major crops. The Plan Badajoz, initiated in 1952, has brought about a modest increase in the land area under irrigation. Tobacco and tomatoes are grown for export on irrigated land in Cáceres. Forestry is of growing importance.
Extremadura's manufacturing sector is less developed than those of other Spanish regions, with most industries processing primary products. Flour is milled throughout the region. There are hydroelectric plants in Cáceres. Extremadura's service sector has grown in importance. The cities of Badajoz and Ciudad Real were linked by railroad in 1868, and the city of Cáceres was linked to Lisbon and Madrid in 1881. Extremadura's industries are linked with those of Lisbon and Madrid. The leading commercial centres of Extremadura are Cáceres, Badajoz, Mérida, and Plasencia.
During the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula, the name Extremadura was used during static periods to refer to the zones outside of Moorish territory; it denoted a set region, but its borders fluctuated with the fortunes of conquest. In the 10th and 11th centuries the border approximated the line of the Duero River from Soria in the east to the Atlantic coast near Coimbra in present-day Portugal. About 1086 the name Extremadura was transferred to a newly conquered region to the south, which included Salamanca, Segovia, and Ávila. This at first was described as "Extremadura beyond the Duero" to distinguish it from the older region of the same name.
After its southern expansion between 1157 and 1230, León also had a province called Extremadura, which stretched southward from Ciudad Rodrigo to beyond Badajoz. In the 12th and early 13th centuries, therefore, both León and Castile had Extremaduran provinces, administered as separate entities by each kingdom. Later, in the reign of Ferdinand III of Castile and León, this separate administration was abandoned, and from the later Middle Ages the term was applied to a region only slightly larger than the combined area of the two modern provinces. The region came under the jurisdiction of the royal audiencia, or high court, of Extremadura in 1790, and the modern provinces were created in 1833.

Q: Redirecting to first item in ArrayController I am trying to redirect to the first item in an ArrayController.  I have found a few other questions related to this, but none had answers that seemed to work (a lot of changes have been happening so this is understandable).
One particular answer from Yehuda here:
App.DoctorsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return App.Doctor.find();
  },

  redirect: function() {
    var doctor = this.modelFor('doctors').get('firstObject');
    this.transitionTo('doctor', doctor);
  }
});

I 'think' I have recreated this scenario, but I must have done something wrong...
Any insight into what I am doing wrong is greatly appreciated.
Example JSBin here.

A: The problem here is that your list of models is not yet loaded from the server. Depending on your needs i would recomend using a promis to let the rout wait abit until your model is loaded.
App.DoctorsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return App.Doctor.find().then(function (list) {
       return list.get('firstObject');
    });
  },

  redirect: function() {
    var doctor = this.modelFor('doctors');
    this.transitionTo('doctor', doctor);
  }
});

ofcourse.. wel that would make the redirect abit silly, so if you just want to wait for the list to load you could try:
App.DoctorsRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return App.Doctor.find();
  },

  redirect: function() {
    var self = this;
    this.modelFor('doctors').then(function (list) {
           return list.get('firstObject');
       }).then(function (doctor){
           if(!doctor)
              self.transitionTo('doctor', doctor);
       });
  }
});

One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich & The Lost American Film is the story of maverick film director Peter Bogdanovich's love for both the late Dorothy Stratten and his "lost" film They All Laughed. Murdered by her estranged husband as Bogdanovich was editing They All Laughed, One Day Since Yesterday summons up the romance, heartbreak and devotion present as Bogdanovich bought his film back from the studio when they studio threatened to shelve it, and his efforts to distribute it himself, almost to his own ruin. A real life love story of passion and belief in the power of art. One Day Since Yesterday is an homage to the lost era of the 70s American Auteur, staking a claim for They All Laughed as the last great film of that time.
Through the story of Peter's journey with They All Laughed, One Day Since Yesterday explores all of Bogdanovich's career (The Last Picture Show, Saint Jack, What's Up Doc, Paper Moon), and his challenges to see his personal vision vindicated in an era unsympathetic to the bold and unique visions he risked it all on. It's the story of a lost film, which played The Venice Film Festival in 1981, unavailable in any medium for years and it's triumphant re-appreciation, championed by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, and of the sweet, makeshift family that's sprung up around They All Laughed's tragedies — bonds still strong even 30 years later. One Day Since Yesterday is a wistful valentine to art, love, loss, redemption and the power of cinema.
For me, the story of Peter Bogdanovich's devotion to his film They All Laughed and to the late Dorothy Stratten is one of the most beautiful stories in all of cinema. Bogdanovich loves women and movies, and combined both perfectly in They All Laughed, only to have the woman he loved most stolen by a madman — and the film he loved most, lost to him — before a return to form and redemption for both his great film and his staggering talent.
I wanted to make a film about the way we remember things — and the transient nature of the past and how we remember it using slides, postcards, pieces of film and photos — as well an homage to the love of film itself. In a way, Peter is tied to his movie. And good directors are tied to their films, like an Aborigine is tied to the earth. So my mission was to make a film to remind an audience that even when things are thought to be forgotten — where there's Art and True Love, things can't be truly lost.
Peter Bogdanovich is an American film historian, director, writer, actor and producer. He was part of the wave of "New Hollywood" directors, and his films include The Last Picture Show, What's Up Doc? Paper Moon, At Long Last Love, Nickelodeon, Mask, Texasville, Noises Off, The Thing Called Love, The Cat's Meow, She's Funny That Way, and of course, They All Laughed. Bogdanovich has published over twelve books on various aspects of film and filmmaking, including "Who The Devil Made It", "Who The Hell's in It", and "Pieces of Time" and has acted in projects like "The Sopranos", "Pasadena" and "Mr. Jealousy" and continues to act, write and direct.

Having a good backup solution in place should be paramount for any website, after all there are so many things which could occur which bring your site out of action – it makes sense to have a fall-back should the worst happen. Today we are going to explorer a simple to setup, but very effective method of automating backups of your precious WordPress site using freely available tools.
As backups is a very common field for WordPress, there are no shortage of excellent plugins out there which can take the headache out of ensure you site is safe. We are going to use an excellent free plugin which you can download free of charge, BackUpWordpress.
To begin, download and install the plugin from the repository (we have an excellent guide for this here) – once installed, head over to the settings area under Tools > Backups in your WP admin.
Once at the settings page, you will be greeted by a simple are where you can setup backups based on whatever scedule you wish – we recommend at least once a day however this is up to you. To begin entering you chosen settings, hit the settings link available.
Once you have set things up as you like, we recommend hitting 'Run Now' to ensure the process runs smoothly on your server – please note, this can take some time depending on your hosts.
BackUpWordPress saves a complete mirror copy of your site files and/or database and the process of restoring can seem a little tricky for anyone who is not familiar with phpmyadmin etc, but this should help.
First, you need to grab a copy of your backups so if you still have access to your WP admin area go to Tools – Backups. This will take you to the Manage Backups page. The Manage Backups page will let you select from all of your backup schedules. You should click on the schedule that you require. All your backups for the schedule will be listed in date order. Select the latest backup from the top of the list and click on the Download link to save it locally.
Or you can connect to your site via FTP – Look for the wp-content folder and inside it you will find a folder called backups containing zip files of all the latest backups named by backup date. Select the latest backup file and transfer a copy locally.
Once you have a zip file of the latest backup saved locally, unzip the files. In OS X, you can simply double-click on the file. In Windows, you can use an archiving tool to extract the backup file (there are many available for download on the internet). The unzipped file will contain your database file (ending .sql), your sites files or both, depending on how you have configured the BackUpWordPress settings. The default setting is for both database and site files to be backed up.
The backup site files consist of three folders called wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes plus a number of php files and a .ht access file. You will need to upload the site files to your site and overwrite the existing files. This can be done via FTP using the file manager provided by your hosting company panel or via an FTP or SFTP client (such as Filezilla for PCs or Transmit for Mac). Make sure you choose to replace the existing files with the new ones. If you are restoring your site after a hack or virus attack it is better to delete all the site files prior to uploading the new files in case additional files have been added.

game score
WRC: FIA World Rally Championship 4 belongs to a game series licensed on World Rally Championship. This is the fourth installment in the series created by the Italian Milestone Studio. The game was published by Bigben Interactive, and not, as it was so far (excluding the arcade spin-off WRC: Powerslide), Black Bean Games.
WRC 4 takes a lot from the sport license it is based on - the game offers a chance of taking part in rallies of the WRC 2013 season as well as compete against authentic drivers and teams participating in the championship. Besides that, the WRC routes and cars were faithfully transferred into the game.
The career mode lets you play as a virtual driver who competes in more and more prestigious sport events, the ultimate one being World Rally Championship. Besides, the game developers have not forgotten about multiplayer mode where you can compete against other players.
WRC 4 uses an improved Spikengine that was used for the first time in WRC 3. As compared with the previous installment of the series, the graphics was improved. Players can admire new dynamic weather effects and better lighting, among other things. Also environment and car engine sounds were improved.
