Records disclose psychiatrist credited with revolutionizing mental treatment killed and injured patients with drugs.
An investigation supported by the Fund for Investigative Journalism, Washington, D.C.
adeleine was rolled into the operating room on a gurney and prepared for surgery, her head shaven. A local anaesthetic was applied to a portion of her scalp. The surgeon cut away a flap of skin and drilled a hole through her skull. Wielding a spatula-type instrument, he made several sweeping incisions through her brain, slicing all the way to the back of her skull. While the surgeon worked, psychiatrist Ewen Cameron stood over the young woman, plying her with questions until he was assured the surgeon had achieved the desired result. When Madeleine stared vacuously and could only grunt in response, the "surgery" ended. Madeleine lived the rest of her life an automaton in the confines of an insane asylum.
Madeleine Smith, a 28-year-old Canadian newscaster, was just one casualty of the ghoulish experiments conducted in the 1950s and early 1960s under Ewen Cameron at McGill University's Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal.
The experiments were part of the infamous "MK ULTRA" program conducted under the aegis of the U.S. intelligence agencies in the 1950s and 1960s, exposed in media and in hearings before the U.S. Congress in the 1970s. Cameron brutalized and maimed patients with drugs, shocks and lobotomies as he sought a means to "depattern" and program the human mind. Canadian survivors still able to seek reparation eventually obtained a $750,000 shared settlement from the U.S. government in 1988.
Virtually all accounts of this dark chapter of the 20th century have named Cameron, who died in 1967, as the main culprit responsible for the vicious treatment. But evidence has existed all along that the experiments were never isolated to Cameron, whether funded by intelligence agencies or not, and that the mindset that sanctioned them pervaded North American psychiatry—even decades after they occurred.
Lehmann, instead, had his own theories—and performed his own experiments, at times with fatal consequences.
ailed as one of the leading lights of 20th century medicine, Lehmann was the first in North America to use so-called antipsychotic drugs on his patients and has been credited with transforming and shaping the course of modern psychiatry—taking treatment of mental illness beyond the destruction or removal of brain tissue, as with psychosurgery or electric and insulin shocks.
While infamous drug and shock experiments conducted in Canada— many under the authority of the U.S. "MK ULTRA" program—have generally been attributed to psychiatrist Ewen Cameron (pictured), he did not act alone. At least one close colleague, Heinz Lehmann, was involved in lethal tests but never held responsible.
The drug said to have made this radical change possible was chlorpromazine, sold under the names Thorazine in the United States and Largactil in Canada.
The German-born Lehmann, who moved to Montreal in 1937, began using the drug on psychiatric patients in 1953.
By 1955, due to Lehmann's work, chlorpromazine was being used in every major psychiatric institution in the United States and Canada.
Lehmann went on to receive virtually every significant U.S. and Canadian medical and psychiatric award. They included, in 1957, the Albert Lasker Award from the American Public Health Association, considered second only to the Nobel Prize in prestige, and the Annual Award of Merit from the Canadian Mental Health Association. In 1976, he received the Order of Canada—the country's highest civilian honor; in 1998 he was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.
Yet, while Lehmann was lauded in psychiatric circles for reputed dedication to his patients, investigation reveals that some of those patients suffered horrific deaths during his experiments. Evidence shows that Lehmann routinely ignored patients' rights, medical ethics and drug side effects. This "doctor" also did not hold a valid medical license in Quebec for the 26 years during which most of his work was done.
ocuments obtained by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights Canada disclose that Lehmann conducted hundreds of human experiments from the late 1930s to the early 1970s. Between 1955 and 1973 alone he conducted 330—the equivalent of a new experiment every three weeks.
Before his work with chlorpromazine, he was involved in lobotomizing, shocking and otherwise invading subjects with various poisons and drugs.
The latter admission apparently lacked remorse; according to his records, Lehmann neither scaled back his treatment nor sought less harmful methods.
The psychiatrist casually recounted "carrying pure nitrous oxide by inhalation to the point where there was complete loss of consciousness," injecting "sulphur oil which was painful and caused a fever" and injecting turpentine into the abdominal muscles of a patient to create an abscess to see whether a "strong fever" produced by an infection might drive out a pre-existing illness.
When his experiments had fatal results, there were no consequences for Lehmann, who operated with impunity upon the faceless, nameless inmates of Quebec's mental institutions between the 1940s and 1960s.
he official record states that Lehmann introduced chlorpromazine in Montreal in May 1953 while working at Verdun Protestant Hospital (later renamed Douglas Hospital).
Lehmann knew the extreme and sometimes deadly effects of the drug, even describing it himself as a "pharmacological substitute for lobotomy." Despite extensive evidence accumulated in the 1950s and early 1960s of its dangers, he did not slacken his pace.
In 1965, for example, he conducted a study entitled "Skin Pigmentation, a Rare Side Effect of Chlorpromazine" after patients at Verdun developed "slate-blue pigmentation of the face and forearms" from chlorpromazine. He experimented with 15 patients, concluding that a "greyish-brownish-bluish skin discoloration" is found in patients who have received the drug in high dosages for a considerable length of time.
In a 1967 study, Lehmann and colleagues experimented on 38 patients, administering doses ranging from 200 to a staggering 3,200 milligrams.

Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Third year in Singapore
Unfortunately, a virus kept me from playing how I would have liked at the WTA Premier tournament in Beijing this week. It's one of the top tournaments in the women's circuit and where the most points are given out, after the four Grand Slam tournaments. I was feeling sick for several days after leaving Wuhan. I wasn't able to practice and even though I tried, the fever kept me from playing as well as I would have liked.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Things other than tennis
I have now had three very good weeks on the tour that will finish next week at the US Open. I decided to play in Stanford despite its coming so soon after Wimbledon and I did not regret it. Things went very well and my victory in Cincinnati is the result of all the work I have done this season, which is bearing fruit.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: It's non-stop
The life of a tennis player can be quite hectic. And that's one thing that is both good and bad about it. When you're struggling, you know that in just one week's time, you'll get another chance to pick yourself up. When things are going your way, you hardly have time to stop and celebrate. But this time, I did want to savor every moment, because otherwise, it all slips by so quickly.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Paris
I fell in love with Paris a long time ago. It was the spring of 2013 when I went to Roland Garros for the first time. Having grown up playing on clay courts in my hometown of Caracas and then later in Barcelona, this love was only natural. It's true that I play more aggressively than a typical clay court player due to the way I'm built, but there's no denying that clay courts make me feel at home.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Hello spring
We're now back in Europe and have arrived just in time for the start of spring. One advantage of being a professional tennis player is that you spend practically the whole year in places with good weather. It's a real treat!
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: We're now in Miami
It's hard to believe we're already in Miami. It's all happening too quickly… We left Indian Wells and arrived on Friday and yesterday I had my first contact with Miami's courts.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: A special Weekend
I'm writing from Ostrava, where we'll be playing against the Czech Republic in the first round of the Fed Cup. It is always a pleasure to get Conchita Martínez's call and have the opportunity to represent Spain and spend a week with the team. It is quite different from the everyday grind at the circuit, the vibe is great and I really love it. We spend a lot of time together and we all feel part of something important.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Back to the competiton
A tennis player's life is strange that way. When you're in the pre-season training, stuck in the same place, you start missing the airplanes, hotels and specially the competition. I had only two weeks' vacation, when, as you know, I went to Egypt –which was something I really wanted to do and was on my "to do" list– and then I spent some time just lazing on the sofa. I made the most of those days to follow the treatment for my ankle. Everything went fine and we began training straight away.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Preseason practice with a Christmas spirit
Hi everyone. This time I'm writing from sunny California, in the U.S. This is the second year in a row that I have come here for the second part of the preseason.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: My preseason starts
So… vacation time is over and my preseason starts this very day. Gone is the 2016 season. A season that I will never forget, having won at Roland Garros and after making it for second year in a row to the WTA Finals. I'm so proud of these achievements, but they are all part of the past now, and, starting today, I'm be looking to 2017.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: The end of the season
It's hard to believe, but it's already been a year since the last time we were here. We arrived at Singapore yesterday, and now we're gearing up to, hopefully, do things right in the year's last tournament. It will be extremely hard, because only the season's 8 best players play in the WTA Finals. As you know, Serena will not be here, but the tournament is going to be just as hard.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Asia… the last swing of the season
We've reached the end of the season. It has been a long and demanding summer, so it was great to get the chance to spend almost two weeks at home. First, to get some much needed rest. I had been traveling for more than two months and wanted to sleep in my bed. That's a long time to be away, with long trips, heat and hotels.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Summer is leaving us…
So many things have happened that it seemed like an eternity when we got back on the road for the great summer that was approaching. Unfortunately, my health started playing dirty tricks on me again and I couldn't compete in Montreal. Actually, I was eager to play because the previous week we had trained very hard, both physically and on the court, in Los Angeles and I was ready. But I couldn't, I just couldn't.
Garbiñe Muguruza's Blog: Wimbledon, again!!
Just a little time left before the competition starts and it feels like yesterday that we were at this small housing complex in Wimbledon, last year. We're barely at a ten-minute walk from the training courts, and that's just wonderful.

Attractions for Eco Tours
Ung Kong Group
Being part of the Hong Kong Geo Part it contains one of the four biggest sea caves in our eastern waters ¾ Sha Tong Hau Cave. This is an ideal place to study rhyolite and sea caves. The huge sea cave cuts right thorough the island and it is wide enough for us to paddle through. Taking great pictures with these natural artwork.
Most parts of the exposed stratum of Bluff Island belong to the Early Cretaceous Kau Sai Chau Volcanic Group. From the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, this region was the site of earth shaking changes. It began about 146 million years ago (Late Jurassic) when there were violent magma activities. Fiery underground magma intruded upwards, melting ancient rocks along its path. It forced its way through cracks and thrust along crustal faults or weak bands until it reached the surface to cause great volcanic eruptions. Sometimes magma was pressed inside underground voids. It created such an immense force that when it finally broke out it made catastrophic impact. Explosion shot volcanic ash and gravels high into the air. Lava was vented out from the crater from where it coursed down the slopes, igniting fires and generating great clouds of ash and fume.
According to data for determining the absolute age of rocks, volcanic eruptions and magma intrusion activities took a cyclical pulse pattern. In every cycle, major eruptions were always followed by great magma intrusions. Such cyclical volcanic magma activities can be categorized into four stages, and consequently there are four volcanic rock groups in Hong Kong ranging from old to new: Tsuen Wan Group, Lantau Group, Repulse Bay Group and Kau Sai Chau Group. Judging by the exposed stratum of Bluff Island, we know that eruptions took place in the 4th stage.
High Island – Po Pin Chau
Po Pin Chau is a triangle island by the east dam of High Island Reservoir. In more than 100 million years ago, a huge volcano (up to 18 km in diameter), was located between High Island and Ninepin Island. When lave covered the surface during explosion. Regular contractions happened while the layer cooling, which produce the hexagonal columnar joint seen today.
Po Pin Chau was once part of High Island. Though out million years, a hill was cut in half by natural erosion processes and a gigantic sea stack came to being. Long years of erosion have separated it from the mainland. Today this islet and High Island stand closely opposite, with just a narrow strip of water between them. High Island and the surrounding region is volcanic rock terrain.
Instructors could bring participants to have a close look and picture with this huge historical site. With good weather condition, participant may even have the changes to hike on Po Pin Chau, enter the sea caves and take a look on the "Heart of Hong Kong".
Sharp Island
Is one of the islands of the Hong Kong Geo Park. In 2002, The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department set up buoys for coral conservation areas. Instructors would lead students paddle to Sharp Island and visit the beautiful underwater world of Sai Kung. Transparent Kayak could keep you dry while observing the coral and the natural life around it.
If you happen to catch the low tide, witness the emerging promenade that connects the nearby Kiu Tau islet. Stroll along the natural sand levee for a closer look at this interesting coastal land form.
Dozens of giant boulders are scattered on the tombolo beaches. The quartz monzonite has been weathered and eroded to various degrees to yield irregular cracks. Other typical volcanic rocks found on Sharp Island include volcanic breccia and rhyolite, the former containing angular pyroclasts while the latter's surface is adorned with lava flow banding. These rocks were form by around Cretaceous (150 million years ago to 66 million years ago). It would also be a nice place to have a 1 hour hiking to understand all these.
Yim Tin
Yim Tin a small offshore island in Sai Kung area which was settled by the Chan's family 300 years ago. "Yim Tin" means salt-pan. In earlier days villagers of the island lived on farming and salt-making.
1860s, missionary arrive Hong Kong and settled in Yim Tin. With the Christian background, the St. Joseph's Chapel was built. The chapel is a Grade III historic building and also received an Award of Merit as part of the 2005 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards.
The Yim Tin Tsai Typhoon Shelter, established in 1968, is located at the east of the island. It is bordered on the east by the northern part of Kau Sai Chau, and by breakwaters in the north and south. Mangrove is found off the breakwater linking Yim Tin Tsai and Kau Sai Chau. It would be a safe and wonderful place for students to paddle though while enjoying view of mangrove forest.
Kau Sai Chau is the 6th largest island in Hong Kong. In the old days, the villagers used to farm, fish and produce salt for a living. Kau Sai village has more than two hundred years of history and was once classified as a military area by the British Hong Kong government. You will find Hung Shing Temple in the southern part of the island, the building was built before 1889, and was declared an "Outstanding Project" by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage 2000 Awards and also a Grade III Historic Building. It is used to celebrate the Hung Shing Festival and being the community center and village school.
Additionally, participants could arrange barbecue / camping in Blue Sky campsite in Kau Sai Chau. A 2 days camp could allow participants to paddle in the amazing view of sunrise and sunset in Sai Kung.
Sai Wan lies in the east coast of Sai Kung peninsula and situated at Stage 2 of the MacLehose Trail. It was one of the beaches carved by the waves of Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by white sand and clear blue waters, which is attributable to its relative inaccessibility. It is quiet and untainted, usually visited by junk-trippers and hikers only. It came first in the Hong Kong Best 10 Scenic Sites Election in 2006, considered the "The backyard of Hong Kong".
There are a few restaurants in Sai Wan Village, visitors could always get some refresh and spend the whole afternoon relaxing in one of the most beautiful view in Hong Kong.
Pak Sha Chau
Pak Sha Chau is a small island about 200m in diameter, only 1.5 km away from Sai Kung. It was originally two islands, due to the narrow channel, sea convection to sand alluvial, forming a unique cross-strait beach. Long beach is a good place for tourists to take a rest and spend time on taking pictures or picnics.

Q: FullCalendar doesn't load body properly The problem is basically that fullcalendar doensn't load properly. It works in some browsers but not in others. Example: works in Chrome on Ubuntu but doesn't in Chrome on Windows.
Error:

Working:

Here is some of my code:
$(function(){
    $("#medicalen").fullCalendar({
        allDaySlot: false,
        nowIndicator: true,
        defaultView: 'agendaDay',
        lang: 'es',
        slotLabelFormat: 'H:mm',
        titleFormat: "D MMMM 'YY",
        height: 'parent',
        displayEventTime: false,
        slotLabelInterval: '00:10:00',
        hiddenDays: [0,6],
        events: [{'title': 'JOHNSON CAMILA LUCIA', 'start': '2019-04-29 18:00', 'pac_id': 1345}, {'title': 'PATHEVEN SANTIAGO', 'start': '2019-04-25 12:00', 'pac_id': 4512}, {'title': 'CIARALLE JUAN ESTEBAN', 'start': '2019-04-29 16:00', 'pac_id': 106}],
        slotDuration: '00:10:00',
        defaultTimedEventDuration: '00:10:00',
        views:{
            agenda:{
                minTime: '8:30',
                maxTime: '18:00',
            }
        },
        eventClick: function(event, jsEvent, view){
                          loadhis(event.pac_id);
                    }
    });
});

I already tried with the render method and it's the same. I don't have any console error or log error. This worked properly 1 month ago. It's been always hosted on PythonAnywhere, made with Flask 1.0 and Python 3.7.

A: If you remove
height: 'parent'

then you'll have no problems.
Since the calendar is not within a fixed-height block, then it will adopt the minimum height of the parent block, and so some of the calendar will not be visible.

The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, CACOL, on Tuesday, threw its weight behind the Nigerian Senate in its bid to unravel the mystery surrounding the alleged N14.7bn proceeds of privatization of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) allegedly hidden in commercial banks by the Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE).
In a release issued by CACOL and signed by Tola Oresanwo, the anti-corruption organization's Director, Administration and Programmes on behalf of its Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran, stated, "We received the news that the Senate Committee on Public Accounts has begun investigation of N14.7bn proceeds of privatization of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria allegedly hidden in commercial banks by the Bureau of Public Enterprise."
Recall that the Acting Auditor-General of the Federation, Adolphus Aghughu, had presented the report to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Ojo Amos, on September 15, 2021, while the Senate and House Committees on Public Accounts commenced an investigation on the queries.
The defunct government-owned National Electric Power Authority, NEPA, was privatized and renamed PHCN, which was later unbundled to become the present generation and distribution companies.
The query stated that the funds were still in the banks as of December 31, 2016, whereas the privatization of the PHCN had been concluded since 2013.
It read in part, "Audit verification and reconciliation revealed that the sum of N14,720,396,432.43, being proceeds from the privatization exercise of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria was reported in the bureau's trial balance to be in commercial bank accounts as at December 31 2016. Whereas, the privatization of the PHCN was concluded in 2013, the proceeds are yet to be remitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria Privatization Proceeds Accounts."
The anti-corruption czar opined that "It is very funny that the money generated as far back as 2013 when the Privatization of PHCN was concluded is still hidden in some accounts in commercial banks despite government directive that all money generated by Ministries and MDAs should be deposited in the Treasury Single Account. This is an affront to the laid down rules as this could lead to revenue leakages and open the door for grand corruption with the said amount of money."
The CACOL boss further enthused, "We want to commend the Senate Public Accounts Committee for questioning the award of these contracts. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria generally vests the legislature with the power to make laws, although this responsibility is not limited to making laws as a lot of additional responsibility including that of oversight has also been placed upon the legislature. Oversight functions serve a variety of purposes among which are to keep the executive establishment responsible and accountable, to promote rationality and efficiency in the formulation and administration of public policy, among others. We want to believe that if the current trend by the senate committee is intensified and sustained with the cooperation of the various anti-corruption agencies in the country, stemming the tide of corruption in the various agencies and parastatals of government will not be a herculean task."

Q: What is it like to take over the helm of a successful movie franchise?
A: Well, it's a challenging and complicated endeavor. You have to have enough roots connected to the old film, but you also have to create something that is completely new and pushes the story forward. So, I think it's a daunting challenge from that perspective. The goal is to do something that audiences haven't seen before but at the same time hearkens back to something that is familiar to the fans of the franchise. 300 was such a seminal movie that I really had to be respectful of it.
There were several things I was able to do with this movie, in order to make it my own. From a thematic point of view, there is the addition of two very strong female characters, which the first film didn't have. Also, I think Themistocles (the Athenian general and politician who orchestrated the battle plans at the Battle of Salamis and the Battle of Artemisia) is a completely different animal than Leonidas (King of Sparta from 300). There is also a different visual aesthetic since this film takes place completely on water. So there were various challenges thematically and visually that the first movie did not have.
Q: What are some of the new style elements that 300: Rise of an Empire has, compared to the original film?
A: The entire movie is really different stylistically. There's the aspect that the entire film takes place on water and the theme of strong, central, female characters. Also 300 was zoomed in on a very specific battle. With this movie, we tackle a much bigger geographical issue than what was portrayed in the first movie. There are many different things at play in this movie that helped in extending the franchise.

BYD, Panasonic and Samsung enter the lithium battery stock race
With demand for lithium-ion batteries set to grow by nearly 28% per year through to 2026, key players like Panasonic, BYD and Samsung SDI are looking to shore up supply to keep up with demand for electric vehicles.
The war in Ukraine has put the spotlight on the supply gap of critical materials in electric vehicle (EV) batteries, as the Donbas region in the east of the country has an abundance of lithium deposits. The shortage has led companies like BYD [1211.HK], Panasonic [6752.T] and Samsung SDI [006400.KS] to enter the lithium and battery technology space in an effort to keep up with soaring demand.
At a global energy conference held by S&P Global in March, Martín Pérez de Solay, CEO of Allkem [AKE.ASX], explained that there are plenty of materials available for battery production, but being granted mining licences and getting the materials out of the ground takes time.
Despite the war in Ukraine delaying extraction plans, existing production hasn't gone offline. The lithium battery market will only be impacted to a limited extent, according to Interact Analysis.
The market data firm has forecast that global demand for lithium-ion batteries will rise to over 1.6 TWh by 2026, up from 476.3 GHh in 2021, equating to a compound annual growth rate of 27.9%. Shipments to EV manufacturers are expected to account for 75.9% of the demand.
Lithium mine investment will cover BYD's battery needs
At the end of March, the Chinese conglomerate backed by Warren Buffett stopped producing new gasoline engines for full combustion vehicles. It'll continue to make them for hybrid vehicles, but much of its future focus will be on EVs.
BYD sold 114,000 new energy vehicles (NEVs) in May, up 8% from April despite ongoing lockdown-fuelled disruption, and up 360% year-over-year. It took total NEV sales for the first five months of the year to 507,314, up 348% from 2021. With the possibility that the pressure on the battery supply chain may ease in the second half of 2022, BYD is well on track to achieve its previously set target of 1.2 million NEVs this year.
Going forward, a Chinese government-backed publication reported last week that BYD has purchased six lithium mines in Africa that will see its demand covered for at least the next decade. The mines have combined reserves of 25 million tonnes, which would produce enough 60 kWh batteries to power 27.78 million vehicles. BYD is yet to comment on the report.
Boosted by the strong production figures, BYD's Hong Kong-listed shares have soared 28.5% over the past month through to 7 June. The stock is up 10.2% year-to-date.
Panasonic provides advanced batteries to Tesla
Tesla [TSLA] received samples of the new high-capacity lithium-ion 4680 battery cells it had ordered from Panasonic last week. The EV maker has claimed they will have five times the energy capacity of current cell types and produce six times more power.
Back in February, Panasonic announced it will build two production lines at its Wakayama factory in the west of Japan to manufacture the 4680 cells. Mass production is expected to start in the fiscal year ending March 2024. There are also rumours that the company could open a gigafactory in Nevada by March 2025 to ramp up production for Tesla. The decision will likely hinge on the profitability of the 4680 batteries, reported Nikkei Asia.
The Panasonic share price is down 3.1% year-to-date but up 3.7% in the past month through to 7 June..
Cutting-edge technology to accelerate Samsung
The battery and energy technology subsidiary of the Japanese electronics giant announced a joint venture with the Chrysler-owner Stellantis NV [STLA] at the end of last month. The two parties will invest $2.5bn into building a manufacturing facility for EV cells in Indiana. Samsung SDI CEO, Yoonho Choi, said in a statement that they've "secured a solid foothold in a rapidly growing North American EV market".
The venture is targeting a 2025 operations start. The facility will see Samsung SDI apply its cutting-edge technology, PRIMX. Launched back in December, PRIMX reduces the resistance inside EV cells and minimises the lithium-ion transport distance.
The Samsung SDI share price has been caught up in the broader selloff among tech and EV stocks. The stock is down 15.9% year-to-date as of 7 June.

Traits Reports
Understanding DNA Traits Reports
Estimating the Likelihood for a Trait
Choosing Traits to Report On
We write reports about traits when we have evidence that the trait can be predicted with a certain degree of accuracy based on genetics. We find these traits in two ways:
Reviewing many scientific papers about the genetics of various traits.
Using our own database of genotypes and survey data from hundreds of thousands of 23andMe customers who have consented to research, which allows us to discover statistically significant correlations between specific markers and specific traits.
The Traits Reports are different from our Carrier Status Reports*. Some of the variants we use in the Trait Reports are from published studies, and some are from our own research using our database. In contrast to the Carrier Status Reports, we don't require that these variants directly cause the trait of interest, only that there is a strong statistical correlation between the trait and the variant. For some of the trait variants, we do know a little more about how they work, but for most, we are only beginning to learn how and why certain variants are linked to certain traits.
By consenting to research and answering survey questions, our customers help grow the database of phenotypic data (traits, lifestyle, environment). The more data we have, the better we can fine-tune our models to make interesting trait reports in the future. We also hope to apply what we are learning about predicting traits to developing even more interesting features for our customers, including more health-related reports.
*The 23andMe PGS test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults for the purpose of reporting carrier status and reporting and interpreting genetic health risks. The relevance of each report may vary based on ethnicity. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future or anything about the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk.

ROME (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta defied pressure to resign on Wednesday to let center-left leader Matteo Renzi form a government, saying anyone who wanted him out must say so openly and outline what they would do in his place.
Letta's comments came at the end of a day of mounting tensions in Rome where the two men met for what the prime minister described as a "frank" encounter in his office.
"Anyone who wants to take my place must spell out their intentions, I'm asking for clarity," he told a news conference at which he laid out a package of reforms he will propose to a meeting of the center-left Democratic Party (PD) on Thursday.
Days of repeated criticism by the ambitious and fast-talking Renzi of the Letta government's failure to lift the economy out of its worst slump since World War Two have piled growing pressure on the prime minister to stand aside.
Thursday's meeting of the PD's 140-strong leadership group, called to decide whether the largest party in the coalition will continue to support the prime minister, is now set for an open showdown between Letta and his party leader Renzi.
The victory of the 39-year-old mayor of Florence in a PD leadership primary in December has shaken up politics in Italy and complicated life for his party colleague Letta, who has nothing like his rival's voter appeal and telegenic presence.
A low-key moderate with roots in the old Christian Democrat party, Letta was appointed in April to lead a cross-party government patched together after last year's deadlocked election.
Since then, he has kept the unwieldy coalition together and won approval from Italy's international partners by keeping a lid on public finances but has struggled to pass wider reforms of the economy or the dysfunctional public administration.
The latest ructions in Italy, the euro zone's third-largest economy, have so far left financial markets unperturbed, with the risk premium on Italian 10-year bonds over German Bunds around 200 basis points, comparable with levels seen before its bonds were sucked into the euro zone debt crisis in 2011.
But continual uncertainty has held back any radical effort to revive an economy that has shrunk by more than 9 percent since 2007, sending unemployment to record levels not seen since the 1970s.
Renzi, a centrist who does little to conceal his disdain for his party's traditional left wing, was described by party sources as furious after Letta's remarks but more determined than ever to push for a change.
He has talked in the past of holding new elections but is well aware that until the electoral law that produced last year's stalemate is changed, any new vote would almost certainly produce another impasse.
President Giorgio Napolitano, the 88-year-old head of state who would have to call a new election if Letta loses the support of his party and no new government can be formed, brushed off talk of a snap poll, saying: "Let's not talk nonsense".
In keeping with his image as a dynamic modernizer impatient with the rituals of old-style politics, Renzi arrived for his meeting with Letta at the wheel of a blue Smart car.
But the speculation of a handover is more reminiscent of the short-lived revolving door governments of the past and underlined the long tradition of infighting and backstabbing which has marked the left in Italy.
"If this is Renzi's revolutionary new idea of politics then frankly he's a great disappointment," said Mara Carfagna, parliamentary spokeswoman for Silvio Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia party.
Opinion polls suggest that Italian voters do not want a change of premier without elections, with a survey in Wednesday's La Stampa suggesting that no more than 14 percent wanted to see Renzi taking over before a new vote.
Whether the small New Centre Right party that supports Letta would be willing to remain in government with the much more pugnacious Renzi remains to be seen, and Italian newspapers speculated that he may be aiming for a new coalition with the small Left Ecology Freedom party.
A drive by Renzi to reform the electoral law, a measure touted by all sides as a necessary step to creating stable government, has already encountered problems in parliament and disagreement over the scores of amendments that have been filed has pushed a scheduled debate into next week.
To add to the uncertainty, Forza Italia, now in opposition, openly questioned whether the electoral reform proposals agreed between Renzi and Berlusconi would continue if the PD party secretary also assumed the role of prime minister.
In his remarks on Wednesday, Letta pledged to beef up Italy's patchy welfare system, help job creation and free up 30 billion euros in resources over the coming two years to reduce taxes. But with his future in the balance, it remains unclear whether his proposals will ever see the light of day.


Depression is sometimes referred to as 'the silent killer', due to the fact that people often suffer in silence, and try to pretend that everything is fine when they're dealing with the condition. There is an unfair and unneeded stigma attached to mental health disorders which is why people often keep their troubles to themselves. There is nothing wrong with admitting you're dealing with mental health disorders, in fact, statistically, more people are currently more likely to have to deal with mental health disorders at some point, than not. The good news is that, thanks to supplements such as l-5 mthf supplement also known as l methylfolate, depression, stress, and anxiety are now more manageable than ever before.
L-methylfolate supplements and depression – There are a number of supplements currently available which are designed to treat mental health issues, though l-methylfolate supplements, in particular, are turning heads for all of the right reasons. You see, way back in the 1960s, health experts noted a distinct correlation between depression and a lack of folate. Folate deficiencies are therefore considered to play a huge role in depression. Experts noted that using a l-5 mthf supplement could help enhance the human body's responses to antidepressants. Moreover, for people who do not respond favorably to antidepressant medication, an l methylfolate supplement could be exactly what is required.
So, how does it work? – So, now that we've looked at the link between a lack of folate, and how and why l-methylfolate supplements are used, it's time to take a look at how they work. L-Methylfolate is actually the only form of folate in the human body, which is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Because of this, it plays an essential role in neurotransmitter synthesis. In fact, this supplement enhances the synthesis of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. All three of these chemicals play vital roles in controlling a person's overall levels of happiness and relaxation. L-Methylfolate has been proven, time and time again, to assist with SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, along with SNRIs (Serotonin NorepinePhrine Reuptake Inhibitors), both of which function as potent and effective anti-depressants. Put simply, when taking L-methylfolate along with other anti-depressant drugs, the latter will function more effectively and will, therefore, help to control the symptoms associated with depression, and other similar mental health issues. The supplements help in improving depression particularly in people, whose systems, for genetic reasons cannot effectively generate methylfolate from folic acid.
Final thoughts –Folate deficiencies, along with the added stress of everyday life, are the major contributing factors for stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Whilst it is perfectly normal to feel down at times, more and more people are finding themselves dealing with depression, or on the verge of being struck down with depression. This can be debilitating and could potentially be life threatening. For people who do not seem to respond favorably to anti-depressant medications, L-Methylfolate supplements can work wonders.
The genetic aspects are very interesting. People with a MTHFR risk variant are at increased risk of depression when they don't consume enough folate.


Copper pipes are extremely prone to pinhole leaks – which are extremely small pores that water gradually escapes from. Pinhole leaks can cause severe damage to buildings over time, and can be repaired with epoxy.
Pinholes are a common cause of a copper water line leak. Over time, minerals in tap water can build up inside copper pipes. This leads to corrosion, and corrosion causes pinhole leaks. These repairs are usually best left to a professional to fix as they know how to repair pinholes in copper water pipes.
Pinhole leaks are more problematic than they may sound. If a pipe bursts, the damage can be dramatic but it appears quickly. Pinhole leaks can go undetected for days, weeks or even months, depending on their location. That's why pinhole leaks are serious and need to be fixed as quickly and effectively as possible.
It is always prudent to talk with a plumbing professional before repairing a pinhole leak in copper pipe. They know how to stop a copper pipe leak, and how to repair a pinhole leak in a copper pipe in the most effective and efficient way.
Still, it's important to understand – in general terms – how to fix a leaky copper water pipe.
There are two methods of repairing a pinhole leak in copper pipe: replacement and lining with epoxy.
Let's first explore how to fix a copper pipe pinhole leak by replacement.
The replacement method for repairing pinholes requires removing the leaky segment of copper pipe. To do this, the plumber needs to open up a large portion of the wall or ceiling at the leak site. Extra space necessary to safely cut, remove and ultimately reconnect the pipe with solder.
With the damaged segment removed, a new piece of copper or plastic pipe can be sized. Once the new piece of pipe has been placed, the plumber solders it to the existing pipe. Soldering is done with a flame, one of the reasons for removing large sections of wall or ceiling.
Copper pipe repair by replacement is straightforward and it's easy to see the repair. This can give home and business owners comfort. But one thing replacement can't do, is prevent pinhole leaks in other parts of the copper pipe. And, over time, the replacement piece could also corrode.
It's worth noting that in some jurisdictions, property insurers will cover only the first instance of pinhole repair. This is something to consider when assessing the cost of repair.
To avoid lengthy repair times, many home and building owners want to know how to fix copper water pipe leak issues without having to replace their water pipes. Fortunately, many cases are candidates for epoxy.
Let's now explore how to fix a copper pipe pinhole leak using copper pipe epoxy lining made from epoxy.
The epoxy lining method of copper pipe repair also requires that the wall and/or ceiling at the leak site be opened. But the amount of space needed is small compared to the replacement method.
To properly apply the epoxy lining, the plumbing professional dries, then cleans the entire length of water distribution pipes. Specialized equipment makes these steps relatively quick.
The final step is to flow the epoxy so that it lightly coats the inside of the copper pipes. When the epoxy cures, all the pipes in the water distribution system are sealed. This means that there will be no further corrosion, which is appealing in terms of insurance coverage. Plus, the epoxy lining prevents copper from leaching into the water.
The epoxy for copper pipes is proven safe for drinking water and will last 40-60 years.
CuraFlo plumbers are trained to know exactly how to fix copper pipe leak issues, whether the solution is replacement or an epoxy lining.


A ROOFING company and its director have been sentenced after the death of an employee on site.
On 9 December 2015, Daniel Shrimpton, a worker employed by Ray Strank Roofing Ltd, was removing flashing from the roof of a two-storey terraced house in Wimbledon. He was found lying unresponsive on the ground soon after beginning work and died later that day in hospital. Daniel Shrimpton was the only employee of Ray Strank Roofing Ltd and the nephew of the company's sole director, Ray Strank.
A joint investigation between the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Metropolitan Police found Ray Strank Roofing Ltd had failed to properly plan the work and that suitable control measures were not in place.
The most appropriate form of work at height equipment for the job would have been a scaffold, erected on two sides of the building to provide edge protection to all the open edges of the roof. However a scaffold was not present on site on the day of the incident and not priced for. Ray Strank Roofing Ltd's failings were due to the neglect of Ray Strank.
On 4 February 2019 at Southwark Crown Court, Ray Strank Roofing Limited of Sandbourne Avenue, London pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 4 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and was fined £50,000 and ordered to pay costs of £5,500.
Ray Strank also pleaded guilty to breaching Section 37 of the Health & Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and was sentenced to 200 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay costs of £5,500.

Q: Android: Improve WebView speed loading local HTML files? I'm embedding some HTML content (stored locally) in my android application and using a WebView to render it. I'm finding that I always "see" the HTML content being loaded (ie. white bg before the page is rendered), even though it's located as an "asset" inside the app.
To mask this "issue", I'm currently hiding the WebView, sub-classing the onPageFinished() method and showing a ProgressDialog until I the page completes.  Which is annoying coz we're only talking seconds here.
I've seen suggestion of using the following:
webview.getSettings().setRenderPriority(RenderPriority.HIGH);
webview.getSettings().setCacheMode(WebSettings.LOAD_NO_CACHE);

...but this doesn't seem to help.
Has anyone managed to overcome this?
(If I could change the WebView's initial bg colour, it might be an improvement, but not ideal)
Many thanks.

Volkswagen plans to invest 6 billion euros (US$7 billion) in e-car production. Photo: AFP

Volkswagen group plans to build 10 million e-cars in first wave
Volkswagen plans to build 10 million electric cars based on its new modular MEB platform, targeting to launch worldwide mass production toward the end of 2022, Reuters reports.
The company will build 27 models for four group brands based on the MEB – or modular electrification kit – starting with the Volkswagen ID model that will begin rolling off the production line at its plant in Zwickau, Germany, late next year.
After the diesel emissions scandal broke three years ago, VW unveiled an ambitious plan to become a world leader in green transport. It plans to invest 6 billion euros (US$7 billion) in e-car production, of which 1.3 billion euros will be invested in its German plants at Braunschweig, Salzgitter and Kassel.
"In the first wave alone, around 10 million VW group cars will be based on this platform," the company's head of electric mobility, Thomas Ulbrich, said in a presentation in Dresden.
The company did not give a timeline for the forecast, but stood by its existing target of selling 3 million units per year by 2025 of the 50 battery-powered group models it plans.
Volkswagen, like other German auto makers, is pushing into volume production of electric cars as US rival Tesla struggles to scale up manufacturing of its Model 3, its first car to target the mass market.

Curl-crested jay
The curl-crested jay (Cyanocorax cristatellus) is a jay from South America.
Genus: Cyanocorax
C. cristatellus
Cyanocorax cristatellus
This New World jay is a beautiful and large (35 cm/14 in overall) bird with predominantly dark blue back, an almost black head and neck, and snow-white chest and underparts. They have a pronounced curled crest rising from just behind the beak; the crest is on average larger in males, but the sexes are generally quite similar.
The voice is a loud, gray, graa, gray-gray-gray, sometimes repeated 8-10 times.[2] They sound similar to crow.
Curl-crested jays are native to the cerrados of central and southern and the caatinga of northeastern Brazil. In the southeast Amazon Basin, curl-crested jay ranges into the upstream headwater regions adjacent to the northwestern cerrado. In the west, the extreme headwaters of the west-flowing Guaporé River on the Brazil-Bolivia are home. For the southeast Amazon, the north-flowing rivers that limit the range are the Tapajós on the west, the Xingu River, then the adjacent drainage to the east, the Araguaia-Tocantins River system. The range continues easterly and southerly through the cerrado. The range on the river systems is only the upstream half of the drainages. They can also be found in extreme northern Paraguay. Altogether, they are limited by the extent of habitat, but wherever this is suitable, they may not be rare. For example, they are the most commonly seen corvid in the Serra do Cipó National Park.[3]
They live in groups of from 6 to 12 individuals, moving from food source to food source during the day. They leave a lookout nearby to keep watch for predators.[4] This bird is a generalist, eating almost anything, including eggs and nestlings of other birds, insects, arthropods, and small vertebrates like geckos. It also likes palm nuts and is particularly fond of the seeds of the native Inga laurina and the fruits of the introduced umbrella tree (Schefflera actinophylla). Curl-crested jays have even been observed spending the early morning in a pequi tree (Caryocar brasiliense) where they fed on nectar, and perhaps also on invertebrates which had visited the mainly night-blooming flowers of this plant.[5]
This jay is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN,[6] and in fact they are at present expanding their range. However, range expansions may only be temporary and populations may eventually disappear from formerly settled locations again.[7]

COVID-19 Lockdowns: Liberty and Science
The Chinese Coronavirus (COVID-19) hit American shores — officially, anyway, there is significant evidence that it arrived earlier — in late January 2020. The American public was then told that a two-week shutdown of the economy would "flatten the curve," relieving the pressure on hospital intensive care units and saving lives in the long run.
The average American, including conservatives, being people of good faith, complied, thinking that this was a common-sense measure that would save lives in the wake of a new and mysterious pandemic.
But two things quickly happened: First, the goalposts moved. No longer was it enough to "flatten the curve." Now we were to be locked down until there was a cure.
No longer was it enough to "flatten the curve." Now we were to be locked down until there was a cure.
Even the cure was not enough for some figures like the lionized-by-liberals Dr. Anthony Fauci — we would continue to be locked down even after a vaccine had been rammed through the approvals process with limited testing. When would we be allowed out by our masters? No one could answer this.
Second, there was an intensification of the authoritarian measures. Some states, aided by Big Tech, introduced "contact tracing" where people had to sign in with extensive personal information if they wanted to, for example, eat out at a restaurant. This was so that, in the event of infection with COVID-19, the state health department would be able to track and trace everyone you had contact with.
We should add that a third thing didn't so much "happen" but was discovered: As it turns out unless you are old (over the age of 65), morbidly obese or suffer from a complicating disorder (such as diabetes or asthma), COVID-19 was little more than a bad cold or the flu.
What's more, there was a financial incentive from the government to mark deaths as COVID-19 deaths when they were not. George Floyd, the man who died while being arrested by the Minneapolis Police Department, sparking riots over the summer of 2020, is officially a COVID-19 death because he died with COVID-19, despite not dying of COVID-19.
By the fall of 2020, the facts became clear: While COVID-19 was dangerous for select populations, it had an extremely low death rate among the young and healthy.
The generous or naive might say that the COVID-19 health measures are misguided attempts to protect the population. A more hard-nosed or cynical person likely thinks that these measures are a deliberate attempt to enact totalitarian measures leveraging public panic.
This, of course, would not be the first time the government and its toadies took advantage of such a panic, with the 9/11 attacks presenting a recent example of such.
We believe that COVID-19 measures are little more than a cynical power grab. We also believe that they have no basis in "the science" often breathlessly invoked by the toadies of this power grab.
In this article, we will make a compelling case that there is nothing scientific about this attack on the individual civil liberties of Americans. As Canadian Dr. Roger Hodkinson, a top pathologist, virologist, and CEO of a biotech company manufacturing COVID tests said, "this (COVID-19) is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public."

There has also been a trend of converting ordinary cars into electric cars. And we need the gears and the clutch because of basic limitations in how an engine works—as a machine that enjoys spinning around thousands of times a minute, however fast you're driving the engine keeps turning, burning fuel and costing money, even if you're stopped at a traffic signal. This will insure the ability to read the free wiring diagrams with ease. Just an electric motor charged by combustion engine. Wiring color code or symbols, wiring harness, radio and audio wiring, circuit diagram, light switch wiring diagram. In order to get a feeling for how electric cars work in general, let's start by looking at a typical electric car to see how it comes together.
Here is an average reading of an electric car. Electric motors produce maximum torque right from the off, whereas gasoline engines need to pick up quite a bit of speed to deliver maximum torque. I made sure to have an interlock, so I can't accidently drive away while plugged in. One solution is to have a front-located electric motor driving the same kind of transmission as an ordinary gasoline car, using a driveshaft propeller shaft and differential in the usual way. That's because they carry large numbers of people and, as thin tubes moving through the air, are relatively.

There should not be any change in the manual transmission, except for its shifter.
Today's electric cars mostly use , exactly the same technology you'll find in your laptop or. The first time I drove the car as an electric conversion, I found the brakes to be a little hard. It matters whether they are connected in series one after the other or in parallel side by side. Click on the graphic above to open the page with the information. That sounded like a lot of work, and I was already sick of tearing apart the dashboard.
Most of the engine parts in this antique engine are still appearing in latest car although this engine does not come with a fuel injection system. And also tell me where can buy this motor and battery's. . Where a gas tank is a relatively compact thing that sits neatly out of sight, the batteries in an electric car are expensive about a quarter of the cost of a Tesla, which still works out at , bulky, heavy, and take up room you might use for other things. Electric cars don't produce tailpipe exhaust gases, but they do make significant air pollution from brake and tire dust. The batteries and electric motor also connect to the transmission independently. In California, where Forbes highlights 77,000 registered electric cars, there are still something like 18 million registered automobiles in total again, that's the 2004 figure , so even in the most fervently supportive state, the proportion of electric cars isn't much better five in a thousand according to the in 2014.
How do electric cars and hybrids work?
Something tells me that in that way, the vehicle can use smaller engine less polution and less money. David MacKay in chapter 20 of his superb book. Spark Plug or Sparking Plug: This device delivers electric from ignition system to the engine. A few modern cars have flexible printed circuits. So i will be very happy if you can employ me and try my own special talent. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. Power windows and locks add weight and complexity to the vehicle.
To avoid confusion, each wire is colour coded but only within the car: there is no national or international system of colour-coding. Articles Check out the latest electric vehicle articles from , , and. Hybrid cars achieve their higher efficiency and fuel economy largely by switching from gasoline power to electricity whenever it's favorable, such as sitting still in heavy traffic. Since batteries are so expensive and remain the biggest questionmark in electric cars, manufacturers have done their best to reassure buyers with warranties of around 8—10 years or 100,000—125,000 miles. If they were connected in series, electric current would have to go through one headlamp to get to the other.
Gasoline cars are worst by far largely because of their heavy engines and transmissions and hydrogen fuel-cell cars aren't much better. In its absence a vacuum pump must be installed. Technically, the sky is the limit for electric cars: with help from onboard solar panels, future electric cars might manage on a single charge. If the battery voltage drops, less current flows, and eventually there is not enough to make the components work. Modern cars often need room for many wires in confined spaces. They are not all equal.
Henry Ford's mass-production of affordable gas-powered cars soon put paid to electric dreams. It's pictured here in 1972, during the Apollo 17 mission, being driven by astronaut Gene Cernan. In that respect, an internal combustion engine is just like the external combustion engine you'll find on something like a. Performance Even in performance, electric cars sometimes outclass gasoline ones. Each part is labeled on the sample wiring diagram to make it easier to read. Volvo reveals it will phase out internal combustion engines much sooner, announcing a plan to offer only hybrids or electric cars from 2019. You did make sure to keep the transmission, right?

So far there have been no caves discovered in Germany that contain convincing evidence of the presence of Ice Age cave art. The Neanderthal Museum has been active in research in French and Spanish caves for many years, has an impressive photographic collection of Ice Age art courtesy of the work of Heinrich Wendel, and is in contact with German cave research groups. For these reasons, the Neanderthal Museum is the first point of contact for those who have questions about this subject. All of the supposed discoveries of cave art in Germany have one thing in common: not one of the locations in question contains a convincing, easily recognisable motif. In every case the evidence consists of no more than residues and remains, the origins of which are unclear, and for which creation by humans is only one of many possibilities. So far it seems as if, although caves in Germany were unquestionable sought after by Ice Age hunters, they served a different purpose to that of caves in France and Spain.

Stone Age Sites in the Neander Area
The Feldhofer Cave is world-renowned as the discovery site of Neanderthals. Excavations in 1997 and 2000 by the Rhineland Department of Archaeological and Natural Heritage yielded, along with human bones, stone artefacts and the remains of prey animals. These finds, together with the knowledge gained from other Neanderthal find sites in central Europe, lead us to believe that the gentle hills and low valleys of the Neander area were an ideal location for Neanderthals to live. There are many Neanderthal sites from the late Stone Age which correspond to this view. There are, however, none from the final stages of the Ice Age. Through systematic surveying and regular mapping of sites, our knowledge should be continuously improved.
Since 2003, in cooperation with the Rhineland Department of Archaeological and Natural Heritage in Overath, the Neanderthal museum has overseen the volunteer heritage workers throughout the region in matters to do with the Stone Age. Through theoretical and practical instruction, the recognition and identification of stone artefacts and other skills are imparted. New finds, in particular, are intensively discussed. This is a basic prerequisite for the future discovery of other Ice Age sites. Since 2010, the Neanderthal Museum has held a quarterly 'Artefact Identification Day' and, with luck, this may yield Neanderthal artefacts.
Technological Knowledge in the late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic
The period between 40,000 and 35,000 years ago is an extremely interesting one for archaeological researchers, and one with many unanswered questions. Time and again the media focuses on the human fossils from this period: Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans. These rare fossils are not, however, the only available sources of information; the analysis of stone artefact technology is a consistent source of insights into the behaviour of our ancestors. The reason for this is the degree of planning necessary to effectively work stone. This depth of planning can be, in large part, reconstructed. The Neanderthal Museum concentrates its work on the analysis, using the latest methods, of important sites from the period of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition, without necessarily carrying out the excavations itself. Among these sites are Salzgitter-Lebenstedt (Lower Saxony), Balver Cave, and Lommersum (both in NRW).

GIANTS 4, DODGERS 3: Dodgers' playoff dreams…
GIANTS 4, DODGERS 3: Dodgers' playoff dreams are done
By J.P. Hoornstra | jhoornstra@scng.com | Daily News
PUBLISHED: October 3, 2012 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 30, 2017 at 8:47 a.m.
Time ran out on the Dodgers' season Tuesday.
Their six-game winning streak ran out, Don Mattingly's bag of good decisions proved empty, and a 4-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants dashed any hope of sneaking into the playoffs before an announced crowd of 42,473 at Dodger Stadium.
"Everything," Mattingly said, "kind of comes to a screeching halt."
A.J. Ellis' two-run home run in the seventh inning off Giants reliever Guillermo Mota brought the Dodgers within a run and provided the final score.
Any Game 161 between the two rivals required an omen or superstition, eight years to the day after Steve Finley clinched a National League West title with a grand slam in the Dodgers' final at-bat against the Giants.
Maybe the stakes weren't as high this time, but they were just as important to the Dodgers. Earlier in the day, the Cincinnati Reds beat the St. Louis Cardinals, giving the Dodgers a chance to keep their hopes of a National League wild-card berth alive with a win.
"To not have that opportunity to move forward is painful," Mattingly said. "I felt the guys were totally invested. They kept fighting."
The biggest omen facing the Dodgers was an injury to starter Chris Capuano, who hurt his left (pitching) shoulder on the weight-bearing "donut" of a bat while taking a practice swing.
Coincidence or not, Capuano (12-12) lasted just three innings – his shortest start all season – forcing the fate of the season onto the bullpen.
The veteran left-hander allowed five hits and two runs. Tellingly, he touched 90 mph on the radar gun on just three of his 39 pitches.
Ultimately the Giants' two runs in the fifth inning off Jamey Wright – who was pitching in pursuit of his first playoff berth in a career that began in 1996 – made the difference.
San Francisco starter Barry Zito (15-8) allowed two runs on six hits in six innings. The left-hander struck out six batters total, including Matt Kemp twice. In his finest moment, Zito retired Kemp on a grounder back to the mound with runners on second and third to end the fifth inning, prompting the Dodgers slugger to fling his bat in disgust.
Kemp finished 0 for 4.
Capuano retired the Giants in order in the first inning, but ran into trouble in the second.
Buster Posey led off the inning with a solo home run to left-center field. In the third inning, Joaquin Arias led off with a solo homer of his own, giving the Giants a 2-0 lead.
With one out in the third, Capuano allowed back-to-back singles to Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro, prompting early activity in the Dodgers' bullpen. The veteran avoided further trouble when third baseman Luis Cruz made a brilliant diving stop on a ground ball by Pablo Sandoval, touching off a 5-4-3 double play.
But that only delayed the inevitable. Capuano allowed a leadoff single to Posey in the fourth inning and got the hook.
Wright took over and stranded Posey, then ran into trouble in the fifth inning. Arias reached on a forceout and went to second base when Wright's pickoff throw skipped past first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
Zito swung and missed on a curveball in the dirt for the second out of the inning.
With Mattingly's next decision, the door for second-guessing – already widened by the decision to pull Capuano in the fourth inning – swung open with the full force of a tornado.
First base was open. The switch-hitting Pagan stood in the left-hander's batter's box. Scutaro, riding a 19-game hitting streak, was on deck. Scutaro had one hit in five career at-bats against Wright, who had never faced Pagan.
Mattingly ordered Wright to walk Pagan intentionally, allowing Scutaro to rip a two-run double into right field that gave the Giants a 4-1 lead.
The Dodgers couldn't answer until they knocked Zito out of the game in the seventh inning. The left-hander hit Andre Ethier with his 97th pitch of the game, prompting Giants manager Bruce Bochy to call on the former Dodger Mota to face Ellis.
The catcher blasted the first pitch he saw about 10 feet wide of the foul pole in right field. He battled back to work a full count and, on the ninth pitch of the at-bat, ripped his 13th home run of the season out to right-field, pulling the Dodgers within 4-3.
Mota stayed in to allow a double to Mark Ellis, but Ellis was easily thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. The next batter, Shane Victorino, wound up at third base without a challenge after ripping a triple into the right-field corner – the potential game-tying run lost on Ellis' decision to try to extend his double.
George Kontos relieved Mota and struck out Kemp to end the inning.
Ethier led off the ninth inning with a single against left-hander Jeremy Affeldt and was replaced with pinch-runner Dee Gordon. Bochy turned to part-time closer Sergio Romo to face Ellis, who pulled back on two bunt attempts before swinging and missing for strike three.
Pinch-hitter Bobby Abreu flied out to left field. With Mark Ellis up and two outs, Dee Gordon stole second base, beating catcher Hector Sanchez's one-hop throw with a head-first slide. The game ended three pitches later when Ellis flied out to center field.
"You have to allow this pain … to be what fuels you through the winter," Mattingly said. "We'll have a shot. We'll start fresh."

Bin Zayed used a bank in Luxembourg to attack the financial markets in Qatar
Bloomberg revealed that a private bank in Luxembourg provided advice to the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, on how to attack the financial markets in Qatar in 2017, which marked the beginning of the blockade imposed by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt on Doha.
The agency said, in a lengthy report published on Sunday, that bin Zayed was one of the largest clients of Banque Havilland, a private bank owned by British financier David Rowland, and that he was known in the corridors of the bank as the "president."
Emails, documents, and legal files reviewed by Bloomberg revealed the extent of services that Roland and his private bank provided to the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, which went beyond financial advice to helping place the bank's president, at the time, on the board of Human Rights Watch after it published reports. She criticizes the Emirates human rights record.
According to the agency, the bank drew up a plan in 2017, which was sent through a contractor with the bank who was working in the British Foreign Intelligence (M6) to the Emirati ambassador in Washington, Yousef Al-Otaiba.
The plan includes a coordinated attack to drain Qatar's foreign currency reserves by reducing the value of Qatari bonds and increasing the cost of insuring them.
Bloomberg stated that Qatar last year filed a lawsuit in Britain against Bank of Havilland, and the lawsuit accuses the bank of launching a campaign aimed at harming the country's banks and its national currency (the riyal).
The agency indicated that a spokesman for the bank denied carrying out a plot against Qatar.
Al-Jazeera had previously published a report that included details of an Emirati plan to harm Qatar's economy.
Bank of Havilland building in Liechtenstein (Reuters)
Foci of corruption
According to an internal document seen by Bloomberg, Mohammed bin Zayed owned an account in Havilland Bank valued at $ 38 million in 2012, and an internal document described his family as "the key to the bank and the network of its shareholders."
She explained that the beginning of the relationship between the owner of Bank of Havilland, David Lowland, and the current crown prince of Abu Dhabi, dates back to the 1990s.
The agency stated that Bank of Havilland is not a normal financial institution, as documents and emails show that the company specializes in doing business that others may reject.
Its agents included alleged criminals in corruption hotspots such as Nigeria and Azerbaijan.
Its owners have sought to do business in sanctioned countries such as North Korea and Zimbabwe, according to the same documents.

Tulsa in Tulsa County, Oklahoma — The American South (West South Central)
Sapulpa Road
Route 66 Motorist Center
— Tulsa's Historic Route 66 —
By Mark Hilton, October 22, 2019
1. Sapulpa Road Marker
Sapulpa Road. Route 66 Motorist Center. Electrically powered interurban trolley systems were popular in metropolitan areas in the early twentieth century before personal automobiles became common. The first interurban system in the Tulsa area began in Sapulpa, southwest of Red Fork, and ran south to the Glenn Pool oil field beginning in 1907, making it possible for oil industry workers to live in the larger town of Sapulpa and still easily commute to work in Glenn Pool. In 1918, the interurban trolley line was extended northeast to Tulsa, ending in the Greenwood District.
As automobile ownership became pervasive, commuters replaced public transportation with private vehicles. Drivers preferred to travel on roads that were designed as US Highways because the designation guaranteed an improved, paved roadbed and access to services along the way. By 1935 this stretch of Sapulpa Road had become a hub of services for travelers on Route 66. Auto-enthusiasts had their choice of four cottage court motels, five gas stations, three repair shops, two cafes, and a grocery store. This concentration of auto-related businesses was typical for locations just outside the dense city center because their prices were likely less expensive and it was easier to maneuver. . This historical marker was erected in 2019 by Tulsa Route 66 Commission.. It is in Tulsa in Tulsa County Oklahoma
