OVEC formed in 1987 to mobilize citizen opposition to a proposed huge BASF chemical company hazardous waste incinerator near Ironton, OH. After OVEC's successful eight-month long, three-state organizing effort, working closely with the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers' international union, the proposal was canceled.
OVEC protested the then unregulated burning of chemical wastes as boiler fuel at the BASF plant in Huntington. OVEC's work on this issue was the subject of two articles in Chemical Week (December 27, 1989 and March 28, 1990), and led to additional state inspections at the plant. New federal regulations on boiler waste burning have since been promulgated.
In February 1990, OVEC members petitioned the U.S. EPA to investigate abandoned chemical waste dumps along the Guyandotte River in East Huntington for Superfund cleanup status. While EPA action lagged, OVEC pressure on West Virginia officials resulted in covering the surface of the dumps to reduce public exposure from contaminated dusts.
On Earth Day 1990, OVEC publicly issued a "Pollution Prevention Challenge to Tri-State industries" demanding that the "Toxic Top 20" industries implement pollution prevention programs to reduce their use and emissions of toxic and hazardous chemicals. Several companies, including Ashland Oil, Allied-Signal, Aristech Chemical, Armco Coke and Steel, Dow Chemical, Dupont, and Goodyear responded and most have since announced emissions reduction plans.
During the summer of 1991, OVEC members organized considerable pressure on the U.S. Forest Service to appeal a U.S. District Court ruling allowing strip mining in the Wayne National Forest in southern Ohio. Letters and phone calls from the citizens in three states persuaded the Forest Service to appeal the decision.
OVEC has organized community opposition to the City of Huntington's solid waste management proposal, which includes garbage incineration.
In 1983, aided by the efforts of current OVEC staff and members, a groundswell of widely publicized citizen outrage developed over serious pollution problems at Ashland Oil Inc.'s petrochemical refinery in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. A new gasoline production unit, designed to process the most heavily contaminated oil, routinely spewed toxic and caustic material onto refinery neighbors' property in Kentucky and West Virginia, resulting in health complaints of skin burns and breathing problems, and property damage from pitted glass and dissolved paint.
OVEC lead a ten-year battle over the pollution from Ashland's Catlettsburg refinery. OVEC was extremely effective at raising public awareness about pollution problems at Ashland Oil, particularly as a result of successful work with regional and statewide media outlets. Our media work has increased public concern over air quality in the region.
OVEC educated members and citizens with regard to specific permit applications made by Ashland Oil and organized opposition to applications for increased discharges of pollutants, which would have kept an apparently leaking hazardous waste landfill open. Often, more than 150 citizens attended public hearings and many voiced specific objections to the proposals.
OVEC worked closely with the National Student Environmental Action Coalition to organize a march and rally to Ashland Oil's corporate headquarters in April, 1991. Students demanded pollution reductions from the company.
OVEC organized letter-writing and telephone campaigns to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and to the Kentucky Division for Air Quality, demanding that the agencies hold Ashland Oil accountable for its violations of the federal Clean Air Act and that the EPA follow through on recommendations from their Tri-State air quality and health studies released in December, 1990.
OVEC members in Kenova, WV, organized a petition drive to U.S. Senator Robert Byrd and other Congressmen demanding they require the EPA to uphold the law and enforce environmental regulations at Ashland Oil.
A 1991 telephone and letter-writing campaign to the West Virginia Air Pollution Control Commission resulted in placement of a carbon monoxide monitor in Kenova to monitor emissions from the refinery.
OVEC organized citizens to put pressure on Kentucky's environmental agency to require the phase out of hydrofluoric acid (HF) at Ashland Oil, and to implement strong interim safety standards for HF, similar to those adopted in California. Many refineries use sulfuric acid instead of HF. HF has the potential to kill or seriously injure refinery workers and neighbors in the event of an accidental release.
Specific successes resulted from OVEC's Ashland Oil organizing efforts, including the installation of new pollution control equipment at the refinery and a decrease in the frequency of fallout episodes. OVEC efforts helped stimulate the U.S. EPA to conduct in-depth inspections relating to air, water, and hazardous waste pollution at the refinery.
Finally, in response to persistent (ten-years) and intense pressure from OVEC members and the organized surrounding communities, the US Department of Justice fined Ashland $5.8 million, and forced them to put aside over $30 million to bring their three US refineries into full compliance with pollution laws. Ashland was forced to install video cameras linked to regulators' offices for pollution monitoring-the first such action taken in the United States. The neighborhood air is much cleaner now!
OVEC's Director was the local coordinator for a health study funded by Vanderbilt University and Stanford University Medical School. Results found very high illness rates in Kenova, WV, immediately downwind of Ashland oil's refinery in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. Illness rates in Kenova were significantly higher when compared to residents of Milton, WV, a town 1-5 miles east of Kenova that is not highly impacted by pollution. Study results were released in early 1990.
OVEC researched and released a 1991 report based on EPA Toxic Release Inventory data which implicates Ashland Oil as the major emitter of hazardous pollutants in the Tri-State. This was publicized by newspapers, TV, and radio in three states.
In January 1992, OVEC completed a comparison of Ashland oil's air emissions with those of the 27 other largest U.S. refineries. The in depth research documented Ashland as being one of the heaviest polluting refineries in the country. OVEC's research was front-page news in five newspapers, was carried on state-wide radio in West Virginia and Ohio, and featured in TV news reports.
OVEC members have testified before the West Virginia Air Pollution Control Commission and West Virginia legislative committees on the need for stronger air pollution control regulations and toxics use reduction laws. An OVEC representative was invited to speak before a Congressional subcommittee on wetlands regulation.
OVEC staff and members are frequently invited to participate on panel discussions, speak at symposia, or serve on important committees such as the Tri-State Ozone Policy Oversight Committee, National Institute for Chemical Studies Toxics Reduction "Scorecard" Advisory Committee, and Cabell / Wayne Local Emergency Planning Committee, and many, many more.
In 1997, OVEC won a nationally significant victory, after organizing and coalition building for over eight years, preventing the construction of the continent's largest pulp and paper mill, after the company insisted on using heavily polluting technologies, and refused to use less – polluting technologies in a low-income, already polluted area. State economic development officials had promised the pulp mill company over one billion dollars in various forms of corporate welfare, even though the company would not commit to hiring West Virginia workers. We stimulated major public discussion on the issue of sustainable and just use of taxpayer dollars on economic development in West Virginia, and this attracted a broad range of constituencies to join in our struggle. OVEC's fourth "Stop the Pulp Mill" rally at the state capitol drew over 1000 participants.
During the struggle, OVEC researched the plans of Alabama River Pulp and Paper, a British owned corporation, to build the largest pulp and paper mill in North America in our region. OVEC has written and distributed fact sheets on the company's plan to use an outdated and heavily polluting technology, chlorine bleaching, and on the potential impact to our region's forests.
Several OVEC members testified at a West Virginia state hearing on a dioxin water discharge standard sought by Alabama River Pulp. Despite testimony from environmental and labor groups, a dioxin standard 90 times weaker than EPA recommended levels was recommended by the WV Water Resources Board.
OVEC worked with other environmental and labor groups to prevent this weakened standard from being enacted into law during the 1992 West Virginia legislative session.
OVEC members attending the Ohio University Southern Campus's first in a series of symposia on business and environmental concerns organized opposition to the pro-business composition of the 1990 panel, hostility towards environmental concerns and undisclosed financial backing of the symposia by industry. As a result, the format of subsequent symposia was changed to include legitimate environmental panelists, financial supporters were publicized, and OVEC Director Dianne Bady wrote a lengthy chapter in the high school curriculum which resulted from the symposia. This curriculum was distributed to 16 regional high schools in 1992.
In 1991, OVEC organized a state-wide "Bring Your Own Toxics / Trash" rally and march at the West Virginia Capitol to bring attention to environmental contamination and the need for strong toxics use reduction policies. Citizens from over 20 West Virginia counties attended and West Virginia's Governor and Attorney General spoke at the rally.
OVEC Director Dianne Bady and Dr. Richard Bady were funded by the West Virginia Humanities Council to research and write a "History of West Virginia Environmental issues" which will be included in a book to be published in December 1992.
Over the years, OVEC has developed a series of educational Fact Sheets dealing with area environmental problems. Fact Sheet topics include the health effects of specific pollutants on, analyses of health and air quality studies conducted in the area, lists of environmental regulatory agencies, and issues surrounding the Ashland Oil refinery, the proposed pulp mill, mountaintop removal and more.
OVEC representatives have spoken to grade school, high school and university classes, civic groups, church groups and more.
During the Ashland struggle, OVEC was part of a nationwide "cluster group" working to improve U.S. EPA regulation of petroleum refineries.
OVEC is a participating organization in the Clean Air Network, a coalition of local, state, and national groups working on implementation of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990.
OVEC joined with the United Steelworkers Union, and several national and state environmental groups, in a 1992 news conference to publicize the Ravenswood (WV) Aluminum Corporation's irresponsible dumping of toxic chemicals. Subsequent state and federal inspections found that the company's practice of dumping untreated cyanide into the Ohio River had ceased.
OVEC's Research Coordinator was funded to speak about OVEC's Toxic Release Inventory research at a 1992 Washington DC conference sponsored by U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
OVEC cooperated with the Natural Resources and Defense Council's 1992 efforts to force full regional enforcement of the federal Clean Air Act.
OVEC worked with the WV Environmental Council to organize citizens in McDowell County, WV, to oppose large scale garbage importation and disposal, and to influence West Virginia's statewide solid waste policies.
As a founding member of the People's Election Reform Coalition, OVEC works with to build an ever-increasing and diversified coalition of groups supporting Clean Money, Clean Election initiatives.
OVEC works with organizations opposing mountaintop removal including Coal River Mountain Watch, WV Rivers Coalition, WV Highlands Conservancy and others.
In response to OVEC's extensive outreach, five statewide Christian denominations in West Virginia passed resolutions calling for a halt to mountaintop removal.

What Makes A Good Romance Book-to-Movie Adaptation
by Jessica Pryde
Romance novels are the perfect medium to adapt for the screen. They're plot-focused stories with lots of character development, have an easy rhythm to follow, and always have a happy ending. Some folks in film and television have finally gotten a little more hip to that fact in the past few years, and there are more romance movies than ever popping up. (Obviously, we will always take more, so hey film producers? Adapt romance.)
My earliest memory of a romance adaptation for film is the treatment of Terry McMillan's WAITING TO EXHALE in 1995, which was complete with an amazing cast, elegant drama, and topped off with Babyface's perfect soundtrack. (I asked for the cassette for Christmas that year and wore the heck out of it.) A story following four friends at significant points in their lives, the screenplay offered perfect introductions to the group and their individual situations, allowing us to invest in all of the characters, even if they were given less screen time each than they might get in a single story.
Newer adaptations have taken the same approach to developing great companions to their source material, with a big advantage: television. New Netflix series like VIRGIN RIVER (based on the series by Robyn Carr) and SWEET MAGNOLIAS (based on the series by Sherryl Woods) have taken all of the information provided by several books and given us well-rounded communities with one central romance per season—while also taking the time to set up the story for the following one. (Neither of these shows has aired their second season yet, but we as viewers already have an idea what they'll be about…or do we?) Just like the sequel bait we seek out in romance series, we hope for the resolution of a relationship that might have already been put into motion in the first season.
The creators of these series are also not afraid to make changes. In the case of both VIRGIN RIVER and SWEET MAGNOLIAS, the series have been around long enough that certain social norms (and even laws) have changed significantly, and the stories have been changed to match. They're also more racially and culturally diverse than the earlier books might have been. This combination definitely helps bring and keep more unfamiliar viewers. The number of beautiful, older bearded men alone in Sweet Magnolias went practically viral on social media, leading to numerous people claiming interest in checking it out. For the plot. Totally the plot. But they stuck around for not just the completely gorgeous cast, but the characters, the story, the drama. Goodness gracious the drama.
And then, there are companies like Passionflix. Passionflix was created solely with the purpose of creating new romance movies and longer-format series based on well-loved books. It's because of them that we have THE TROUBLE WITH MISTLETOE to watch at holidays and A BROTHER'S HONOR, the first adaptation from Brenda Jackson's Grangers series. The latter, in particular, is heavy with warmth between the central lovers, Jace and Shana, and the three brothers, who have relied on each other for so much of their lives. When romance novels, especially, are translated to feature-length, we often lose the friends and family to the progress of the love story. But since that element is so important in Brenda Jackson's books, it's nice to see them on the screen—a nice balance against the simmering heat between the romantic leads. In general, the movies made for Passionflix inspire that same feeling: the core elements of a story that might be familiar, with the beats played out and no sparing of steamy encounters that we couldn't get on Lifetime, Hallmark, or Sunday night on ABC.
In all of these situations, not only is having the authors involved in the process and development of the project important, but romance readers are also involved as creators and producers. We can tell when someone who isn't familiar with romance novels and who definitely hasn't read the original book (or any books like it) is involved in creating a romantic film or show. And we can really tell when someone who knows the workings of romance puts their heart into creating content for romance lovers.
Overall, what makes the best adaptation—even if it doesn't follow the story to the letter—is the emotion it evokes in us as viewers. The relationships we get to experience, whether they are between love interests, family members, longtime friends, or new acquaintances, are the core of any romance novel, and they're the most noticeable element in a good romance adaptation. If a film, in particular, leaves out important pieces of a character's backstory or personality, it takes away from the fully satisfying ending we might have had otherwise. But if they're properly synthesized into something wonderful, we can feel it.

European Commission secures EU access to Remdesivir for treatment of COVID-19
July 29, 2020 by European Union Leave a Comment
(Credit: Unsplash)
This article is brought to you in association with the European Commission.
Yesterday, the European Commission has signed a contract with the pharmaceutical company Gilead to secure treatment doses of Veklury, the brand name for Remdesivir. Veklury was the first medicine authorised at EU level for treatment of COVID-19. As from early August onwards, and in order to meet immediate needs, batches of Veklury will be made available to Member States and the UK, with the coordination and support of the Commission.
Stella Kyriakides, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, said: "In recent weeks, the Commission has been working tirelessly with Gilead to reach an agreement to ensure that stocks of the first treatment authorised against COVID-19 are delivered to the EU. A contract has been signed yesterday, less than a month after the authorisation of Remdesivir, which will allow the delivery of treatments from early August for thousands of patients. The Commission is leaving no stone unturned in its efforts to secure access to safe and efficient treatments, and is supporting the development of vaccines against coronavirus. Yesterday's agreement is another important step forward in our fight to overcome this disease".
The Commission's Emergency Support Instrument will finance the contract, worth a total of €63 million. This will ensure the treatment of approximately 30,000 patients presenting severe COVID-19 symptoms. This will help to cover the current needs over the next few months, while ensuring a fair distribution at EU level, based on an allocation key, taking into account the advice from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
The Commission is now also preparing a joint procurement for further supplies of the medicine, expected to cover additional needs and supplies as from October onwards.
On 3 July, Remdesivir became the first treatment to be authorised for a conditional marketing authorisation. This authorisation facilitates early access to medicines in public health emergency situations, such as the current pandemic.
Remdesivir is a treatment against COVID-19 for adults and adolescents as from age 12 with pneumonia who require supplemental oxygen. The application for the marketing authorisation was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) on 8 June. EMA's recommendation was endorsed by the Member States through the Standing Committee on Medicinal Products for Human Use.
While authorised in the EU, the medicine continues to be monitored to ensure safety. Gilead has also been requested to submit the final reports of the Remdesivir studies to the EMA by December 2020 as part of the conditions to be fulfilled to move from a conditional marketing authorisation to a full marketing authorisation. Further data on the effectiveness and safety of the medicine is expected to be submitted by August 2020 in order to finalise this process.

Zweden was een van de 32 deelnemende landen aan het Wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2006. Het land deed voor de elfde keer in de historie mee. De beste prestatie van Zweden was de tweede plaats die men in 1958 in eigen land behaalde. In de finale was Brazilië met 5-2 te sterk. Verder behaalde Zweden nog drie keer de halve finale, tweemaal werd het derde en eenmaal vierde. De laatste keer dat Zweden het WK miste was in 1998.

Kwalificatie
Als lid van de UEFA speelde Zweden in de achtste van acht groepen waarin alle landen deelnamen. Ieder land ontmoette elkaar in zowel een thuis- als een uitwedstrijd, de groepsindeling was aan de hand van resultaten in het verleden en een daaraan gekoppelde loting bepaald. Alleen de groepswinnaar zou zich rechtstreeks kwalificeren, terwijl de nummer twee het zou mogen opnemen tegen een nummer twee uit een andere groep, mits dat land het best geklasseerde land op de tweede plaats was, ook dan was rechtstreekse kwalificatie een feit.

Samen met Kroatië en Bulgarije behoorde Zweden tot de grootste kanshebbers op een rechtstreeks ticket naar het WK. In de onderlinge duels werd er tweemaal met 3-0 gewonnen van Bulgarije. De Bulgaren presteerden verder middelmatig en moesten op ruime afstand genoegen nemen met de derde plaats in de groep. Tegen Kroatië ging Zweden tot tweemaal toe onderuit. Een gelijkspel tegen Malta, Bulgarije en Hongarije zorgde er echter voor dat beide landen in punten op gelijke hoogte kwamen. Ondanks het betere doelsaldo van Zweden ging Kroatië als groepswinnaar naar het WK dankzij het onderlinge resultaat. Zweden mocht zich eveneens opmaken voor het WK toen bleek dat zij het best geklasseerde land waren van alle als tweede geplaatste landen.

William L. Everitt Faculty Scholar
jhasegaw@illinois.edu
2011 Beckman Institute
Statistical Speech Technology Group
Ph.D., Elec. Eng. & Comp. Sc., MIT, 1996
Mark Hasegawa-Johnson has been on the faculty at the University of Illinois since 1999, where he is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in 1996 at MIT, with a thesis titled "Formant and Burst Spectral Measures with Quantitative Error Models for Speech Sound Classification," after which he was a post-doc at UCLA from 1996-1999. Prof. Hasegawa-Johnson is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (2011, for contributions to vocal tract and speech modeling) and a Fellow of the IEEE (2020, for contributions to speech processing of under-resourced languages). He is currently Senior Area Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language, and a member of the ISCA Diversity Committee. He has published 308 peer-reviewed journal articles, patents and conference papers in the general area of automatic speech analysis, including machine learning models of articulatory and acoustic phonetics, prosody, dysarthria, non-speech acoustic events, audio source separation, and under-resourced languages.
Professor Hasegawa-Johnson typically teaches Artificial Intelligence (CS 440/ECE 448), Multimedia Signal Processing (ECE 417), and Speech and Image Analysis (ECE 401). He has also taught Speech Processing (ECE 537), Digital Signal Processing (ECE 551), Audio Engineering (ECE 403), Pattern Recognition (ECE 544NA), and Probability (ECE 313).
Dr. Hasegawa-Johnson's research is focused on the area of automatic speech recognition, with a particular focus on the mathematization of linguistic concepts. In the past five years, Dr. Hasegawa-Johnson's group has developed mathematical models of concepts from linguistics including a rudimentary model of pre-conscious speech perception (the landmark-based speech recognizer), a model that interprets pronunciation variability by figuring out how the talker planned his or her speech movements (tracking of tract variables from acoustics, and of gestures from tract variables), and a model that uses the stress and rhythm of natural language (prosody) to disambiguate confusable sentences. Recent application successes include:
* Speech recognition for talkers with cerebral palsy. The automatic system, suitably constrained, outperforms a human listener.
* Retrieval of broadcast television segments in four languages, based on queries specified in the international phonetic alphabet. The Illinois team, including students of Prof. Hasegawa-Johnson and Prof. Huang, took third place in this international competition, and was the only finalist from the United States.
* Automatic detection and labeling of non-speech audio events. The Illinois team, including students of Prof. Hasegawa-Johnson and Prof. Huang, took first place in this international competition.
* Teaching Chinese. Software and methods developed by Prof. Hasegawa-Johnson, together with his colleagues from Linguistics and Psychology, are being tested in Mandarin language classrooms at the University of Illinois.
Professor Hasegawa-Johnson typically supervises one or two undergraduate research projects per year, thesis research preferred. Past student theses include automatic recognition of musical genre, factorial HMMs for the automatic recognition of speech in music backgrounds, prosody-dependent speech recognition, image source modeling of room impulse response, sonorancy classification for automatic language ID, phonetic landmark detection for automatic language ID, and digital field recorder for acquisition of a natural audio database.

As you may be aware, there were a series of dust observations made within the Dunbar area on the morning of Thursday the 24th of May. This coincided with an isolated incident at the plant in the early hours of that morning, where limestone-based product was being loaded into one of our storage sheds. Unforseen damage to the roof of the shed allowed dust to be generated and due to the dry weather conditions at the time, this left our boundary. This part of the plant was shut down immediately, with no further release of dust outside of our site.
We contacted residents within 24 hours with a letter of support and we also notified the regulator, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA).
All our stack emissions have been operating well within limits throughout and this has been confirmed by SEPA, with whom we have had daily contact. They have been to site to review operations and we continue to work with them to remedy the cause and take action to prevent a recurrence of this isolated incident. I reiterate that this was an isolated incident from the action of loading material. This dust is from naturally occurring material and is the same as that used in construction activity.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Members of my staff are working full time with residents and I would ask for patience whilst we respond to all enquiries.

Origine
Il Diccionario biográfico español, Real Academia de la Historia, riporta che Al-Samh era figlio di Malik al-Khawlani, di cui non si conoscono gli ascendenti, come conferma anche la Histoire de la conquête de l'Espagne par les Musulmans.

Biografia
Nella primavera del 719 al-Ḥurr, che si era contraddistinto per una politica assai dura verso i suoi sudditi, fu sostituito dal nuovo wālī, al-Samḥ b. Mālik al-Khawlānī, arrivato da Damasco, dopo aver ricevuto la nomina dal nuovo wali di Ifriqiya, Ismail ibn Abd Allah ibn Abi al-Muhajir, approvata dal califfo omayyade ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz (717-720); anzi secondo Spagna musulmana e Portogallo al-Samh era stato designato direttamente dal califfo Omar II, nel 718.
Il mandato di Al-Samh era di redistribuire le forze mussulmane nella penisola iberica e di inviare a Damasco, la esatta situazione della sue forze e delle città sotto il loro dominio.
Anche la Ajbar Machmuâ: crónica anónima riporta la designazione di al-Samḥ e ricorda che fece ricostruire nella capitale, Cordova, il ponte sul Guadalquivir, come riporta anche la Histoire de l'Afrique et de l'Espagne.

Secondo una leggenda, nel 718 Pelagio avrebbe guidato una prima rivolta per vendicare la violenza fatta dal governatore Munuza a sua sorella, Ormesinda, e come narra la Cronaca di Alfonso III continuava ad incitare alla rivolta, che Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani, secondo EL FIN DE LOS VISIGODOS, non prese in seria considerazione.

Secondo La dinámica política, a metà del 719, al-Samḥ attraversò i Pirenei (già attraversati al-Ḥurr ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Thaqafī) e portò a termine la conquista della Settimania.
Infine attaccò Narbona che resistette. Il wālī passò l'inverno in Settimania, e, nel 720, i Musulmani del Wālī di al-Andalus, Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani, posero l'assedio a Narbona, che in quello stesso anno fu occupata dai Mori. Tutti i difensori furono passati per le armi, mentre le donne ed i bambini furono inviati in al-Andalus e posta una guarnigione nella città, Narbona divenne la base delle successive operazioni militari.

Tra il 720 ed il 721, anche il resto della Settimania fu completamente sottomessa dai Mori e unita ad al-Andalus, ed il Wali, Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani, entrò in territorio franco, dove perse la vita, all'assedio di Tolosa.
Nel 721, al-Samḥ partì da Narbona con destinazione Carcassonne (anche negli Annales Francorum Ludovici Dufour sono confermate le sue diverse invasioni della Gallia). Ma, alla vista delle sue possenti mura, passò oltre, invadendo l'Aquitania; quindi si diresse su Tolosa, a cui pose l'assedio, ma all'improvviso piombò sugli assedianti il duca Oddone d'Aquitania, con le sue truppe ed i cavalieri di Neustria, che il 10 giugno 721 (Battaglia di Tolosa) sbaragliò l'esercito di al-Samh che nel combattimento perse la vita, come riporta lo storico C.H. Becker.
I saraceni si diedero alla fuga e molti di loro morirono, liberando così l'Aquitania dall'occupazione musulmana.

I soldati, alla morte di al-Samḥ, proclamarono sul campo di battaglia stesso il nuovo Wālī di al-Andalus: il generale ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Ghāfiqī.

Simon the Siamese was born on our farm but we aren't sure to whom and we sure as hell don't know who his daddy is. We don't have any Siamese cats on the farm nor have we seen any lately that look the way he does. However, Simon doesn't let his unknown parentage stop him from being the most social of cats on the farm.
Simon actually has a job on the farm (other than being friendly and loving to everyone). He will actually go into the hen's coop at night and hunt the mice and rats that tend to be drawn to the chicken feed. I don't know how good he is at it but at least he tries. He and the hens and roosters get along just fine, mostly ignoring one another but occasional he will try to give one of them a cat rub-by.
Herbert, my other extremely social creature on the farm, really loves Simon and I think that the feeling is reciprocated.
You can't tell from this but Simon is giving Herbert a back rub. And Herbert is letting him.
This morning, Simon made a new friend, Rita.
It was a total love fest.


Everything is a religion in America. I can imagine apathy societies having annual meetings and handing out leaflets. Given this proclivity for zeal among some 300,000,000 well-to-do folk, should we be surprised to learn some of their buildings for bikes are exemplary on many fronts? I'm not. I've spent enough time over there to know their smart folk well and truly make up for the dumbos, who drive around Texas, invent things like Hooters, and clutter up Florence. So here are three best practice examples, courtesy of our overlords and natural superiors, that I suggest we accept with due grace. I'm not saying you won't find earlier examples of each practice elsewhere. I'm just saying, these are top notch.
From left: eyes on the bike racks; free public work-stand; bike tracks on both sides of all stairs.
Put eyes on the bike racks. No thief will tamper with these bikes, knowing the owner could well be sitting at one of the dining tables on the other side of that glass. Even if I had business a block away, I would chose to chain my bike to these racks outside a Wholefoods supermarket in Boston.
Provide public work-stands. In the future, work-stands with tools dangling from wires will be as common as places to refill our water bottles. The friendly gesture to cyclists pictured above, is at the door of Frank Gehry's Stata Center at MIT, Boston.
Provide bike tracks on BOTH sides of stairs. Most people feel comfortable walking their bike on one side, not the other. It follows that stairs will need ramps on both sides, not one. These stairs at the McDonalds Cycle Center in Chicago, have long treads and low risers, making them especially easy to walk a bike up or down. In high traffic areas, stairs need to be split into two lanes (one up, one down), and include two more tracks running down the stair's center—that last one, a lesson from Holland.
Care to add to this list? I would love to hear your suggestions! They needn't be from god's country necessarily either.
p.s. My sincerest apologies to all my American friends, for ingratiating myself to weaklings with chips on their shoulders, at your expense.


If you are willing to build the PC yourself then I can try web building you one and sending you the potential parts. That amount in USD is about $500-$650 right? Just checking. Edit: Does that price include things like the OS, monitor, and any peripherals?
Put your OS and all your most used programs on the SSD. Everything else can go to the HDD. That's generally the best way to use an SSD of that size.
I see, but if your just going to do some gaming then the Intel Core-i series processors have more than enough power for you. When you do get an Aurora the i-7's that they come with shouldn't really have to be upgraded for a long time. The GPU maybe depending on which one you get.
If the socket is correct, you have the proper wattage requirements and you have some form of graphics, whether it's dedicated or not, then it should work. If your talking about upgrading the CPU that's in the rig in your sig then I don't think that you will find much performance increase, however.
I have an FN key for the optical drive. I haven't tested to see if I can use it during boot up or any time when windows isn't loaded though.
In general it is always a good idea to update your video drivers when they come out. If you do have problems (I never have) then you can always roll back to a previous driver version. The driver updates basically keep your video card relevant for longer than if they kept them stock.
I would check for video card driver updates as soon as you get it. As well as the usual Windows and virus software stuff.
$10000 Alienware fossil watch WOW!
O.o I always spelled it grey and I'm from the U.S.
Finally, they've been sitting on Sandy Bridge for a while now.
After doing some research I want to say that this looks like a scam.
Yes, you should definitely clean out the heatsink. Also it might be a good idea to blow out the fan with an air can. That usually does wonders for me when it starts getting a little hot. Also see if you can keep the back end of the machine raised so that the fan can get better airflow.
M14X R2 CPU Upgrade i5 to i7 possible?
The CPU is not smoldered to the board and is completely up-gradable. You just need to cross check to make sure that which ever CPU you buy is compatible with the motherboard of the M14x R2.
I actually haven't played BL2 yet. I was going to finish playthrough 2 of BL1 and all of it's DLC but I haven't finished the DLC and I've gotten caught up in other games. If anyone here wants to do a new Playthrouhg of BL2 with me then game on.
If your ordering from the U.S. they still offer Win7 with new Alienwares. In fact if I remember correctly it costs the same to get Win7 or Win8.

Q: Php DOMDocument Htmlentities problem I use DOMDocument. My code here.
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$textNode = $dom->createTextNode('<input type="text" name="lastName" />');
$dom->appendChild($textNode);
echo $dom->saveHTML();

Output:
<input type="text" name="lastName" />

I want to this output
<input type="text" name="lastName" />

How can i do?

A: You need something that actually parses the xml data instead of treating it as "plain" text. DOMDocumentFragment and DOMDocumentFragment::appendXML() can do that.
E.g.
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadhtml('<title>...</title>

    <form method="post" action="lalala">

        <input type="submit" />

    </form>

');

// find the parent node of the new xml fragement
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);
$parent = $xpath->query('//div[@id="formcontrols"]');
// should test this first
$parent = $parent->item(0);

$fragment = $doc->createDocumentFragment();
$fragment->appendXML('<input type="text" name="lastName" />');
$parent->appendChild($fragment);

echo $doc->savehtml();

A: Change createTextNode with createElement. Text nodes are for text :)
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$textNode = $dom->createElement('input');
$textNode->setAttribute('type', 'text');
$textNode->setAttribute('name', 'lastName');
$dom->appendChild($textNode);
echo $dom->saveHTML();

A: look at the documentation one of the first things is says
"A quick note to anyone who is using character entities (e.g. ©) in this, and finding them automatically escaped. The correct thing to do here is to use the createEntityReference method (e.g. createEntityReference("copy");), and then appendChild this entity between text nodes. "

You dream of the day you can go to the match together, but you need to wait until their old enough or it will be a nightmare for all concerned.
I've been wrestling with this dilemma for a while. As an Everton fan living near Manchester I need to get my son into the Everton habit sooner rather than later. Leave it too long and I risk him selecting the wrong shade of blue or, even worse, red!
A City fan I know took both of his sons as soon as they had their first birthday. Maybe it's easier to get family enclosure tickets than it is at Everton, or maybe City fans are more polite than the average, but I couldn't imagine exposing a one year old to the noise and choice language of the Gwladys Street!
At the age of three I think Zac might now enjoy a match, but I'm worried that 40,000 fans in full voice might just be a little scary. Add in the travel to Liverpool and I think it might just be too much for him.
I opt for a compromise. My father-in-law is a season ticket holder at Altrincham FC in the Conference (or whatever I have to call it these days). Crowds are a little more sparse, it's just around the corner, and if Zac gets bored there's nothing to stop you going for a bit of a wander!
So Grandad John studies the fixtures for an appropriate game, against a team with a smaller away support. We decide to go to a match against Dartford, reasoning they're unlikely to bring too many fans such a long way.

The day of the game doesn't begin well. Zac is up at 5am and has developed a nasty cough. Luckily it is my wife's turn to get up, so I can have a nice lie in until 10am!
I'm not sure whether we should still go, but Zac tells me he's "'cited for the football" so the decision is made. He has been practicing shouting "come on Alty!" and it would be a shame not to put it to good use.
We get to Moss Lane at ten to three. It makes a nice change being able to park 100 yards from the ground and there's nobody asking me for a few quid to "mind ya car mate?" After a short wait we're in, and head to the main stand to find Grandad who's saved us a seat.
The first half begins and Zac is enthralled. He loves it when the men kick it really high. Five minutes in and one of the Dartford players goes down injured and needs treatment. This is apparently really funny.
"Don't be laughing if an Alty player goes down!" says Grandad. An Alty player then needs treatment. Zac laughs.
The game settles down and Altrincham are on top. Several shots from outside the box are well held by Dartford's goalkeeper, who looks decent for this level. Zac starts to get a little bored but a box of raisins and then a pack of crisps keeps him entertained.
There's a bit of wrestling in the Dartford box. A foul is given against Altrincham's centre forward, who gets involved in a bit of handbags with the opposition's centre half.
The Dartford player grabs him by the throat and chucks him to the ground. Yellow card! In the Premier League that's a straight red, no arguments.
Just before half time, Altrincham score! Grandad and I jump up and cheer and I try to encourage Zac to do the same. Unfortunately, it turns out he is bawling his eyes out!
Zac had stopped watching the match and had no idea what was happening. All he knew was that a load of people suddenly jumped up and made a huge noise. No wonder he was scared.
Then comes the first "I want to go home!"
I manage to dissuade him from leaving by promising to go and get him a chocolate bar at half time.
During the interval the home fans on the terrace behind the goal Altrincham had been attacking move to the side terrace. When in Conference North, the fans used to change ends at half time just as the players do. Now they are "big time" and Conference rules demand segregation, they must content themselves with being as far up the side towards Dartford's goal as possible.
I leave Zac with Grandad and go and queue at the food counter, which takes me the entire of half time plus the first five minutes of the second half.
While I'm queuing, Altrincham score again! Zac cried again, but Granddad is there to comfort him, and he cheers up when he finally gets his KitKat.
However, soon the chocolate is all gone and the "I want to go home" cries become more persistent. At half past four, I give up and decide to leave. Frankly, I had not expected him to stay interested for 90 minutes so this was probably the best I had hoped for.
On the way home, Zac tells me he had fun. We are going to our first football class the next day, and he is excited to go to that so he can be like the men on the pitch.
Grandad texts to say that Dartford pulled one back but that Altrincham held on for the win. It will be a long hard season for the Robins and a win against potential relegation rivals will do them a world of good.
For Zac's experience of football, it has been a similarly stuttering start. Perhaps we'll go again in a couple of months. Grandad and I even make tentative plans to take him to Goodison together when he's ready.
I think we will wait a while though. I don't want to put him off for life.

I hesitate to use the word "legend" when talking about someone like Lou Beach, because it brings to mind what my pal art director Art Chantry once said: "They call you a legend when they think your career is over." However in Lou's case, he is a true legend, having created a massive body of work over 40 years that has been seen in what we now call multiple platforms and that has delighted literally millions of people. And like the sounds of a maturing blues or jazz guitarist, Lou's work has only gotten better and better over time. One look at the "fine art" pieces that he's been creating in recent years reveals a highly talented artist at the peak of his powers. Lou's work has gotten more sophisticated and refined and he continues to be able to evoke layers of meaning with simple bits of paper and imagery, even as he has returned in recent years to more of a hand done approach.

Although every case is different, there are some common questions that people have as they face divorce and custody proceedings. This article is intended to answer questions commonly asked about divorce proceedings. Your specific situation may be somewhat different from the norm, however.
Divorce is never an easy experience, and this is more true if you are not in agreement with your spouse about ending your marriage. One of the things that seems to help clients through what may be a traumatic experience is some knowledge about what might happen next and about how friend of the court referees and judges will resolve contested issues. Your attorney or attorneys are not psychologists or social workers, but they've probably dealt with the emotional issues you're facing over the course of many years. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand the process. The best solutions for problems you and your spouse are facing in the dissolution of your marriage are the ones that you can agree upon. If agreements aren't possible, then your attorneys will attempt to help you resolve the issues.
Your attorney's representation depends upon your input. You need to provide your attorney with facts and documents pertaining to your case. You also need to discuss your ideas and your wishes about how the issues are to be resolved. Everything that you tell your attorney is confidential. It is very important that you tell your attorney the truth. If you withhold information, it might adversely affect your case. Even facts that are "bad" – or embarrassing – should be disclosed so that your attorney may help you make the best decisions.
Your case will never be settled without your express input and consent. Your attorney will counsel you and advise you throughout the process. Most cases settle without going to trial. This means that most clients, through their lawyers, come to an agreement that is either put in writing and signed by both parties or is put on the record in open court. This agreement is then incorporated into a "Judgment of Divorce." Do not, however, feel that you must agree to something that you don't understand or that you don't feel is fair. Talk proposals for settlement over with your attorney so that you can make a decision about accepting the proposed settlement or making a counter-offer. Once an agreement is finalized, the opportunity to set it aside is either very, very difficult or impossible.
Your attorney's role is to give you advice and information, especially to relate your particular set of facts to the law that a referee or judge would rely upon in resolving the issues if you were to go to trial. Your lawyer's role is also to help you look at options and alternatives that you might have, to guide you through the process, and to cooperate with you in your attempt to get the bets possible results.
The words "no-fault' may be misleading, though. Fault if not a factor if the parties agree upon a final settlement of all issues. However, fault may factor into a court's decision if there is a dispute as to alimony, property, support, visitation, or custody. That is the reason your attorney will want to know about any extra-marital relationships that either party has had.
Separate Maintenance actions are also allowed in Michigan, although these are rare. The procedure is about the same as that of a divorce. The court will decide custody and support issues and will also divide the marital property between the parties. But neither party may remarry. If one of the parties wants a divorce rather than separate maintenance, the court will consider the case as a divorce matter.
Michigan law also allows annulments, which invalidate a marriage. These, too, are relatively rare. Marriage may be void from the inception or voidable. Grounds for an annulment may be the fact that a marriage has not been consummated, and also include incapacity to marry such as insanity, bigamy, under age, or any type of fraud. Annulment is not available where the parties continue to cohabit.
Summons. This document notifies the other spouse that he or she is being sued and has 21 days (28 days if served by mail) to respond. If the other party doesn't respond, a default may be taken.
Complaint. The complaint states the names of the parties, where, when, and by whom they were married, names and birthdays of any minor children, wife's and husband's name before marriage, length of residence in county and state, date of separation, grounds for divorce, a statement as to property and debts, and the relief requested. Michigan law mandates that a party must reside in Michigan for 180 days and in the county where suit is started for at least 10 days prior to the date of filing.
Affidavit of Service and Return of Service is filed when service is made.
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act Affidavit. This document alerts the court about where the children have resided in the past five (5) years and that no custody action is pending regarding the children. In order to have jurisdiction to award custody, the children must have resided in the state for at least the past six (6) months.
Verified Statement to the Friend of the Court. This document informs the Friend of the Court of the essential facts such as names, addresses, employers, incomes, social security numbers, etc. If the parties will elect to "opt-out" of the FOC system, this is not required, but a motion must be filed.
Motions for Injunctions / Orders. Sometimes a spouse may be concerned that upon learning of a pending divorce action, a spouse will secrete assets. Sometimes attorneys file motions to preserve the status quo to prevent dissipation of assets. If you have any reason to believe that you may need a status quo order, you will want to tell your attorney your concerns. She will explain this procedure to you in detail and ask if you want an Injunction.
Ex Parte Orders. Motions to preserve the status quo are sometimes filed to ensure that the children's residence is not changed prior to entry of a temporary custody, parenting time, and support order. Such motion must be verified by oath or affidavit. A temporary injunction or order ,may be issued restraining a party from selling, disposing or dissipating assets. Other types of injunctions may be requested.
Filing Fee. At the time of this writing (April 2005) the filing fee for a divorce is $150.00. If there are children, the filing fee is $180.00. There is an additional $40.00 required if the Friend of the Court services are needed. Other costs may be incurred during the proceedings, and also for the cost of serving papers and entry of Judgment.
Other costs. If your divorce is contested, you may incur other costs for such things as appraisals of assets, expert witness fees, transcript costs for depositions, etc.
Notice of Hearing, Motions, and $20.00 Filing Fees. Sometimes in the course of a divorce, your attorney may have to go to court to get your spouse to cooperate with discovery or to enforce the terms of a temporary order. A Motion is filed with the court for some type of relief. A Notice of Hearing advises when and where a hearing will be held.
The Plaintiff is the party who files the lawsuit and the Defendant is the person against whom the case is started. Each county has an office of the Friend of the Court. Their job is to assist the Court. The FOC usually investigates the incomes and circumstances of the parties and makes recommendations about alimony, support, custody, and visitation rights. They also collect and distribute alimony and support payments. The FOC may cooperate to seek enforcement of court orders dealing with support, visitation rights, and alimony.
Once the Complaint and Summons is served, the Defendant must file an answer to the Complaint. If service is made in person, the Defendant has 21 days to respond. If service is made by mail, he or she will have 28 days to respond. Your attorney may extend the deadline. An answer to the lawsuit is, in effect, a response to each paragraph of the Complaint.
Michigan law compels the parties to wait at least 60 days before the Judgment of Divorce is granted, but if there are minor children then the waiting period is 6 months. Sometimes the 6-month period may be waived if your attorney makes a proper showing of good cause why the waiting period should be waived, but this rarely occurs. The court requires a "pro confesso" hearing before granting the divorce, which means that a witness testifies that the facts set forth in the Complaint are true. A witness is not necessary if the matter is uncontested when heard by the Court.

Temporary orders for child custody child support, spousal support, parenting time, to protect the status quo -- i.e., provide for mortgage payments, insurance coverage, medical payments -- and for other relief may be requested at any time after your case is started and before a judgment of divorce is entered. A temporary restraining order may also be requested by either party involved in a divorce to restrain a party from doing harm to person, property, or assets.
Cases involving the custody of minor children can be the most emotionally difficult part of a divorce. Unless the parties can agree, the court will decide which parent should be awarded legal custody (the decision-making part of raising the child) and/or physical custody (who physically raises the child).
Michigan courts use a strict formula to determine the amount of child support. This formula considers the income of both the custodial and non-custodial parent and whether a parent has other children to support. The income of a new spouse is not considered.
Spousal support, also called alimony, is an amount of money paid by one party in a divorce to the other for his or her support and maintenance. There are many factors that the court may consider in determining the amount of spousal support and the time period during which it should be paid.
Michigan is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. Normally, property will be divided 50-50. Even though fault has nothing to do with whether a party may obtain a divorce, the court may consider the fault of a party when dividing the property. This could shift a division from 50-50 to 60-40 or some other percentage. Michigan judges have broad discretion in this regard and it is not always possible to predict the outcome. This is one reason why mediation can help a party achieve a fair result. Property that a party owned prior to the marriage, absent special facts, is usually considered separate property. A court has to find need or contribution to the acquisition, improvement, or appreciation of separate property in order to invade those assets and award a portion to the other spouse.
Prenuptial agreements are becoming commonplace in Michigan as elsewhere. Once people have been through a divorce, they often want to protect their separate assets, particularly if they have children from their first marriage. There are strict requirements in order to make these agreements enforceable. Therefore, it's a good idea no to spring on by surprise upon your intended spouse just before the wedding. Cohabitation is also becoming far more common today, and cohabitation agreements that are drafted, negotiated, and executed with the same formality as prenups and post-nups can be enforced in Michigan.

Q: Check all with PHP like JQuery Check-all Does possible to have a check all in PHP? because in jQuery you can have this code to checkall checkboxes
$(function() {
  $('.chk_boxes').click(function() {
    $('.chk_boxes1').prop('checked', this.checked);
  });
});

does it possible in PHP? if Yes can you give an explanation how to make it?

A:
does it possible in PHP?

It is not possible. PHP doesn't even have read access to those checkboxes until that page is submitted to a PHP file, let alone write access.
PHP Can not manipulate your DOM elements just like JavaScript can. Once the page is loaded you can add/remove or manipulate elements on it using a client side language like JS. PHP is long asleep by then even if PHP served the page.


The singer Shakira has recorded a new song, entitled "Mi Verdad" (My truth), in collaboration with the Mexican rock band Maná.
In addition, the Colombian singer recently joined with the group for collaboration video shoot, held in Barcelona in an old wine cellar. The video directed by Jaume de la Iguana, who has also directed music videos for Shakira and Alejandro Sanz.
"Mi Verdad" will be included on Manna's next album, planned for release in 2015.
Currently, Shakira is pregnant with her second child with the Spanish player Gerard Pique.


Rizort Inc. adds several new locations to its collaborative vacation planning VR app.
According to a recent Forbes survey, 77% of people who use VR want more social engagement, and I've long believed social is they key to getting the tech to a mass-market stage, but that needs to be done in the context of things that people already want to do rather than gimmicks.
Booking travel is one of those strange things that are simultaneously pleasurable and a complete nightmare, so any way that technology can improve on the experience is likely to fall under that desirable category.
Rizort is a web and VR platform that already focuses on optimizing that process, describing itself as an "experience-driven vacation marketplace" so it's a natural fit to try and do that.
"Travel is a social experience. Planning and booking a vacation is a clear example of that and can sometimes be a grueling task. Forty percent of users prefer using VR in the company of others and the latest version of the Rizort VR app does just that. We want all travelers to be able interact in a fun and collaborative way in the process," says Sachin Kanodia, CEO of Rizort.
The Rizort VR app works on headsets such as the Oculus Go and Samsung Gear to allow potential guests to virtually explore hotels, resorts and experiences from anywhere in the world. It also supports a multiuser mode where several people can check out a location or experience at the same time and compare notes and impressions, thus maximizing the chances of making everyone happy with the final booking.
Recently, Rizort added Dubai, Mexico and the Caribbean to its growing roster of destination offerings. Current destinations also include Bali, Thailand, the Maldives and destinations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Fiji and Japan will be added in 2019.
Their hope is that the mixture of VR and 360 degree video will do a better job of enticing customers to try the destinations for real than a photo gallery or glossy brochure ever could.
To date, the San-Francisco based company has raised $2.9M dollars in seed funding to develop its platform, which uses a proprietary algorithm to match user intent to highly curated luxury hotels, resorts and experiences across multiple destinations.
So far, Rizort says they are very pleased with the results of the VR social feature and plan to keep making enhancements to the platform to further integrate the booking process into the virtual reality experience, making it into one seamless immersive travel platform.

Jodhpur – A Heritage City
Jodhpur is a time-honored tourist attraction brought into being by Maharajah Rao Jodha, the chieftain of the Rathore clan of Rajputs, as the capital of his regime - Marwar, He chose Chidia-tunk, a 125 m high hill, to enhance its natural elevation by a fortress of staggering proportions, the Mehrangarh Fort. The whole city of Jodhagarh expanded around the mighty fort. The Brahmins of the kingdom found the foot of the hill as their residence and erected their blue abodes all around Chidia-tunk. Thus, Jodhpur acquired its synonym - the Blue City.
The Mehrangarh Fort
One of the primary tourist attractions in Rajasthan, the Mehrangarh Fort, is among the most impressive and imposing forts in Rajasthan. The construction of the fort was begun by Maharajah Rao Jodha in 1459 and was completed by Maharajah Jaswant Singh (1637-1680).
Jaswant Thada
Jaswant Thada lies to the left of the Mehrangarh fort complex, and is a royal cenotaph made up of white marble. It was built to commemorate Maharaja Jaswant Singh. Some of the rare portraits of the former rulers of Jodhpur are displayed here.
Umaid Bhawan Palace
Umaid Bhawan palace is one of the world's fascinating structures, a palace, in Jodhpur. Maharaja Umaid Singh constructed it in 20th century. A part of the palace has now been converted into a hotel and a museum.
Clock Tower and Sardar Market
Another prime attraction of the city is the primeval Clock Tower and the vivid Sardar Market surrounding it. Narrow alleys of the market, buzzing with life, lead to quaint bazaars selling textiles, antiques, silverware and handicrafts. Time seems to have impeded in this part of the world, as the dwellers have preserved the ancient lifestyle and their societal culture.
Around Jodhpur
Mahamandir
It was built in 1812, and is a small walled town, clustered around a 100-pillared Shiva temple.
Balsamund Lake & Palace
Balsamand Lake was built in 1159. This lake and garden complex lies about 7 kms from Jodhpur. A palace constructed in 1936, ascends over the lake. The lake has, now, been converted into a public park and bird sanctuary. This area has turned out to be a well-liked jaunty spot.
Mandore
This former capital of Marwar, lies 9 kms north of Jodhpur. The gardens of Mandore also house the royal cenotaphs or 'Dewals' of the Maharajas, including that of Maharaja Jaswant Singh and, largest and finest of all, the impressive temple-shaped memorial to Maharaja Ajit Singh.
The Hall of Heroes contains 15 figures carved out of a rock wall. The vividly painted figures represent Hindu deities or local heroes on horseback. The Shrine of 33 crore Gods, is painted with figures of gods, spirits and divinities.
Osian
Rajasthan's largest assemblage of early Jain and Hindu temples lies on the outskirts of the small town of Osian, just 55 km away from Jodhpur. It was once a great trading centre. The town is a desert oasis that is home to numerous peacocks, now. The largest of the 16 Jain and Brahmanical temples is dedicated to Mahavira, the last of the Jain tirthankars. In the same area the Sun temple has fascinating images of Goddess Durga, Lord Surya and Lord Ganesha.
The sculptural sophistication of the Osian temples equals that of any of the eminent temples of the country.
