バン・チアンの古代遺跡
Archeologisch gebied Ban Chiang
Ban Chiang is zonder twijfel de belangrijkste prehistorische nederzetting die tot nu toe ontdekt is in Zuidoost Azië. Het gebied geeft het vroegste bewijs voor echte landbouw en voor de vervaardiging en het gebruik van metalen. Dit gebeurde in het vijfde millennium voor Christus, waarmee het gebied geldt als een bijzonder cultureel, sociaal en technologisch fenomeen. De belangrijkste opgravingen hebben plaatsgevonden aan de rand van Ban Chiang, waar een groot aantal graven uit drie verschillende perioden zijn bloot- en vastgelegd. Daarbij zijn diverse keramische en metalen grafobjecten gevonden. Een van deze opgravingen is bewaard en tentoongesteld voor het publiek.
The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is a large, prehistoric earthen mound located in an agricultural area in the Ban Chiang Sub-district, Nong Han District of Udon Thani Province in northeast Thailand, within the watershed of the Mekong River. It is an oval-shaped mound formed by human habitation 500 meters x 1,350 meters and 8 meters high. The site was first discovered in 1966. It has since been extensively excavated and its remains studied by Thai and international scholars. Since 1966 the dating of the site has been adjusted and refined over time in line with advances in the understanding and techniques of radiometric dating. This research has revealed that the site dates from 1,495 BC .and contains early evidence for settled agrarian occupation in Southeast Asia, along with evidence of wet rice agriculture, associated technological complex of domesticated farm animals, ceramic manufacture, and bronze tool-making technology. The total area of the property is 67.36 ha of which approximately 0.09% has been excavated (as of 2012)
The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is a prehistoric human habitation and burial site. It is considered by scholars to be the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in Southeast Asia, marking the beginning and showing the development of the wet-rice culture typical of the region. The site has been dated by scientific chronometric means (C-14 and thermo luminescence) which have established that the site was continuously occupied from 1495BC until c. 900BC., making it the earliest scientifically-dated prehistoric farming and habitation site in Southeast Asia known at the time of inscription onto the World Heritage List.
The Ban Chiang cultural complex is well-defined and distinctive from anything that preceded it. Through it can trace the spread and development of prehistoric society and its development into the settled agricultural civilizations which came to characterize the region throughout history which still continue up to the present day. Advances in the fields of agriculture, animal domestication, ceramic and metal technology are all evident in the archaeological record of the site. Also evident is an increasing economic prosperity and social complexity of the successive communities at Ban Chiang, made possible by their developing cultural practices, as revealed through the many burials, rich in ceramic and metal grave goods, uncovered at the site.
The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is also the richest in Southeast Asia in the number and variety of artifacts recovered from the site. As such, the property has been extensively studied by scholars as the archaeological "type-site" for the beginnings of settled agricultural communities and their associated technologies in the region.
Criterion iii: Ban Chiang Archaeological Site was the centre of a remarkable phenomenon of human cultural, social, and technological evolution which occurred independently in this area of Southeast Asia and began at Ban Chiang around 1500 B.C. and spread widely over the whole region.
The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site consists of a large, undisturbed earthen mound which, when excavated, was found to cover a prehistoric habitation site of some of Southeast Asia's earliest farmers. The site, which had been abandoned and buried underground for at least two millennia, has now been substantially and carefully excavated by Thai and international archaeologists. This has revealed an unbroken stratigraphy of human habitation, use, and burial over two thousand years, covering the period when prehistoric humans in this part of the world first settled in villages, took up agriculture and began the production of metal tools. The earliest stratigraphic layers at Ban Chiang date from as early as 1,500 B.C. This long archaeological sequence is divided by archaeologists into Early, Middle and Late Periods all of which are fully represented in the site's excavated stratigraphy and which cover the beginnings of rice cultivation to its full-establishment as the principal agricultural activity of the region. The evidence for the beginning of rice agriculture is complemented by evidence of the equally early domestication of cattle, pigs and chickens, presenting a full picture of the emergence of a settled agrarian way of life in the early Neolithic period in Southeast Asia. Each stratigraphic layer at Ban Chiang is exceptionally rich in artifacts, especially ceramics, representing a full typology of both domestic and ritual (burial) types, all of which were made locally in the prehistoric farming communities. In addition to ceramics, the site has exceptional and uniquely early evidence of the knowledge of bronze-making by its inhabitants with remains of raw materials, production facilities, and complete bronze tools and ornaments. These early bronze finds make the site known as the metal tools production site in East and Southeast Asia. Later stratigraphic layers of the site contain evidence for the widespread transition from bronze to iron tool making, characteristic of agricultural settlements in the proto-historic period throughout the region.
It is speculated that climate change in the middle of the 1st millennium AD may have led to the temporary abandonment of the site and the sealing of the prehistoric habitation layers, assuring their archaeological integrity. The area's ecology however recovered and the site was again occupied in the late 18th century by farmers migrating across the nearby Mekong River who, once again, took up wet-rice cultivation. To this date the area around Ban Chiang retains its environmental and ecological integrity as a traditional agricultural landscape, representative of the rice cultures of Southeast Asia.
The integrity of the property is therefore high and is to be found in the long archaeological sequence excavated at Ban Chiang, which reveals through its stratigraphy of habitation, workshop areas and burials and the complementary seriation of artefacts, an occupation of two thousand years B.P. covering the entire period of the origin and development of rice agriculture, the domestication of farm animals, and associated tool-making technologies within this region of the world.
The authenticity of the property is related to its archaeological integrity. Carbon-14 and thermoluminescence dating techniques, conducted by a variety of international laboratories, have confirmed the authenticity of the earliest dates of Ban Chiang and the coherence of its stratigraphic record. Exhaustive comparative studies of the assemblage of artifacts recovered from the excavation of the site confirm its relative relationship to other known archaeological sites in the region. The results of this research have been extensively published and subjected to international peer review through numerous professional presentations and conferences. The excavated materials are available for continued professional research. Also continuing is on-site and laboratory research which confirm the authenticity of the interpretation of the site and of its dates. This on-going research has extended the known area of archaeological finds and further enhances the importance of the site as the type-site for the study of the origin and development of Southeast Asian rice cultures.
The Ban Chiang habitation mound remains largely intact, undisturbed, and in situ. The excavated area of the site is well-protected from deterioration, theft or other damage and so the authentic record of the archaeological discovery of the site can be easily read by both professionals and the interested public. As with all archaeological sites excavated to international scientific standards, substantial areas of the Ban Chiang Archaeological Site have been purposefully left unexcavated, to allow for future research and confirmation of the property's authenticity.
The continuing agricultural landscape at Ban Chiang is also authentic, in that it has maintained its traditional agricultural character. The present population continues to live on the mound raised above the surrounding rice paddy fields near natural water sources. The population density of the area remains low and the area is still in use for traditional rice farming and livestock rearing, allowing ethnographic analogies to be drawn in the interpretation of the prehistoric site by both professional researchers and visitors to the site.
Management and protection
The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is a prehistoric archaeological site protected by the Act on Ancient Monuments, Antiques, Objects of Art and National Museums, B.E. 2504 (1961) as amended by Act (No.2), B.E. 2535 (1992), enforced by the Fine Arts Department, Ministry of Culture. There are related laws enforced by related government units which give added protection to the property including the Ratchaphatsadu Land Act, B.E. 2518 (1975), the City Planning Act B.E. 2518 (1975), the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act, B.E. 2535 (1992), the Building Control Act B.E. 2522 (1979) as amended by Act (No. 2) B.E. 2535 (1992), as well as municipal regulations. A master plan, supported with an annual budgetary allocation from the Ministry of Culture is in force for the protection of the property, continued archaeological research, and its development as a public education resource. The Ban Chiang excavation site is protected from damage with a secured shelter. Nearby there is a site museum which contains public education and visitor facilities. There are adequately trained staff working permanently on site and in the museum to monitor the condition of the site and undertake conservation work as required, to facilitate academic research, and to ensure that the property's significance is correctly interpreted to the visiting public.
Within the current framework of the reform of national administration which aims to decentralize government functions and responsibilities, it is expected that local, regional, and national committees for the protection of World Heritage will be established. These committees will enhance collaboration with universities and non-governmental professional organizations which work to conserve heritage sites. At Ban Chiang, the on-site museum will continue to be enhanced and upgraded into a learning centre for both public education and archaeological research. The Fine Arts Department aims to disseminate knowledge of the outstanding universal value of the property and its significance to the understanding of the prehistory of Southeast Asia through the organization of research seminars and other educational activities, aimed at the international community of scholars as well as the Thai public in general.
In the long-term management of Ban Chiang, the traditional agrarian character of the property's setting will be maintained. There will also be additional archaeological surveys conducted in and adjacent to the property in order to identify, protect, and research associated prehistoric sites.

Melaleuca apostiba is a shrub in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It was first described in 1990 by Kirsten Cowley and remains a poorly known species. It resembles Melaleuca lateritia except for its hairy leaves and flower structures as well as its leaf shape and size.

Description
Melaleuca apostiba is a spreading shrub to  with grey fissured bark and hairy young branches.  The leaves are a dull green, flat, narrow-elliptic in shape,  long,  wide and hairy when they first appear. The leaves taper to a point, have distinct oil glands and three parallel veins.

The flowers are red and arranged in spikes on the sides of the branches. The spikes are up to  in diameter and contain up to 30 individual flowers. The outside of the floral cup is hairy and the stamens are arranged in five bundles around the flower with 11 to 16 stamens per bundle. Flowering occurs in June and July and is followed by fruit which are woody capsules.

Taxonomy and naming
Melaleuca apostiba was first formally described in 1990 in a review of the genus by K.J. Cowley. The type specimen was recorded as having been collected in "Victoria Desert Region: Officer Basin" in 1963. A study of the records of the expedition indicate that the specimen was in fact collected east of Cosmo Newberry. The specific epithet (apostiba) is from the ancient Greek apostibes, meaning "solitary", referring to the isolated place where the type specimen was located.

Distribution and habitat
This melaleuca occurs in the Laverton and Lake Minigwal districts in the Great Victoria Desert and Murchison biogeographic regions where it grows in deep red sand.

Conservation status
Melaleuca apostiba is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife meaning that it is known from only a few locations but is not currently in imminent danger.

Das Schloss Rantzau in Rantzau im östlichen Schleswig-Holstein ist Namensgeber und der ehemalige Stammsitz der uradeligen Familie Rantzau. Das Schloss war Mittelpunkt eines adligen Gutes und ist nach dieser Definition eigentlich ein Herrenhaus, durch seine besondere Bedeutung in der Landesgeschichte und seine einstmals reiche Ausstattung wird es aber schon seit geraumer Zeit als Schloss bezeichnet. Das Haus erlebte eine kurze Blütezeit vom Ende des 16. bis ins frühe 17. Jahrhundert und war eines der reifsten Werke der Renaissance in Schleswig-Holstein. Durch diverse Umbauten wurde die Anlage jedoch so umfassend verändert, dass die einstige Gestalt nur mehr zu erahnen ist.

Geschichte des Schlosses

Das Gut im Mittelalter

Der Gutsbezirk wird seit mehr als 800 Jahren bewohnt und bewirtschaftet. Der Name Rantzau – bzw. Rantzow – deutet auf eine noch frühere wendische Besiedlung des Gebietes hin. Die Rantzauer Familie selbst ist nicht wendischen Ursprungs, doch nahmen die ersten hier niedergelassenen Ritter, wie zu der Zeit üblich, den Namen ihres Besitzes an. Als erstes bekanntes Familienmitglied ist 1226 Johann von Rantzau genannt, der als Knappe in Diensten Adolfs IV. stand und um 1235 in den Ritterstand erhoben wurde. Johann von Rantzau war der Begründer der verschiedenen Rantzauer Linien, die in den folgenden Jahrhunderten für die Geschichte Schleswig-Holsteins prägend wurden. Das Gut, das sich hier um eine kleine befestigte Burg mit einem Herrenhaus entwickelte, blieb mehr als 500 Jahre im Besitz der Familie. In diesen Jahrhunderten spielte Rantzau keine sonderlich bedeutende Rolle in der Landesgeschichte und diente unterschiedlichen Zweigen der wachsenden Familie Rantzau als Sitz.

Ein Renaissancesitz Heinrich Rantzaus
Eine kurze Blütezeit erlebte das Gut unter Heinrich Rantzau, der das Herrenhaus ab 1590 neu errichten ließ. Heinrich Rantzau war ein eifriger Bauherr und hatte bereits zahlreiche Neubauten auf den zeitweise über 70 Gütern der Rantzauer Familie veranlasst. Zu seinen weiteren Bauwerken gehörten zum Beispiel das Wandsbeker Schloss oder das Herrenhaus von Nütschau. Der Neubau am Stammort seiner Familie gehörte zu den letzten Bauten Heinrich Rantzaus, er starb 1598. Bis zu seinem Tode nutzte er es für gelegentliche Aufenthalte, doch war sein Hauptsitz die Breitenburg. Im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert gehörte das Schloss weitgehend der Breitenburger Linie der Familie. Christian zu Rantzau gelangte 1650 in den Stand eines Reichsgrafen und begründete die Reichsgrafschaft Rantzau im südlichen Holstein. In diesem Zuge ging das Gut als Ausgleich an Herzog Friedrich III. über, der den Besitz schon kurz darauf an ein anderes Mitglied der Rantzauer Familie veräußerte. 1655 gelangte das Gut erneut an Christian zu Rantzau, der dafür einen Preis von 64.500 Reichsthalern zahlen musste. Sein Enkel Christian Detlev zu Rantzau wurde 1721 in der Nähe des Barmstedter Schlosses angeblich durch seinen Bruder Wilhelm Adolf zu Rantzau ermordet, worauf der amtierende dänische König Friedrich IV. den rantzauischen Besitz konfiszierte. 1726 konnte die Schwester der beiden Brüder die Rantzauer und Breitenburger Besitzungen zurück erwerben, doch musste sie sich, finanziell schwer angeschlagen, von einem Gut wieder trennen.

Die Besitzer nach den Rantzauern
In den folgenden Jahren erlebte das Gut verschiedene Besitzer, die unterschiedliche Spuren an den Gebäuden hinterließen. Friedrich IV. verkaufte Schloss Rantzau 1728 an Heinrich Reventlow aus dem nicht weit entfernten Lehmkuhlen, der 1737 in Konkurs ging und den Besitz schon 1740 für 94.000 Reichsthaler an den Eutiner Fürstbischof Adolf Friedrich veräußerte. Dieser ließ den alten Renaissancesitz unter anderem durch den Mittelbau zum dreiflügeligen Barockschloss umbauen. Adolf Friedrich wurde 1751 zum König von Schweden gewählt und verkaufte das Gut an seinen Oberhofmarschall Jakob Levin von Plessen. Da von Plessen keine Erben besaß – seine Kinder waren alle jung verstorben – und er außerdem bei seinem Nachbarn Graf Heinrich Christoph von Baudissin verschuldet war, wurde der Hof 1761 an den Grafen verkauft. Das Gut blieb dann für über 200 Jahre im Besitz seiner Familie.

Vom 20. Jahrhundert bis heute
Um die Jahrhundertwende besaß das Gut noch 2.600 Hektar Wirtschaftsfläche. Der Landbesitz musste nach und nach veräußert werden, so wurden zum Beispiel nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg mehrere Pachtdörfer aus dem Gutsbetrieb entlassen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg musste das Schloss als Flüchtlingslager dienen und nahm mehr als 170 Personen auf, die zum Teil bis 1960 dort wohnten. 1965 wurde das Herrenhaus vom Gut abgetrennt und an Familie Majerholz verkauft, später wurde auch das restliche Gutsland veräußert. Die neuen Besitzer richteten im Haus ein Schlosshotel ein, das heute jedoch nicht mehr existiert. 1976 und 1978 wurden die Gebäude des einstigen Wirtschaftshofes durch Brandstiftung zerstört.

Das Schloss befindet sich in Privatbesitz und wurde 2009 an eine neue Eigentümerin verkauft. Es entstand ein Konflikt mit der Denkmalschutzbehörde, nachdem bei Sondierungsarbeiten Putz von Wänden und Decken entfernt worden war. Nach Pressemeldungen hat das Gebäude erneut den Besitzer gewechselt, die zukünftige Nutzung des Herrenhauses ist ungewiss. Es kann weder besichtigt noch betreten werden. Den tatsächlichen Verfallszustand dokumentiert ein von der gegenwärtigen Eigentümerin im Internet veröffentlichtes Sachverständigengutachten.

Baulichkeiten

Das Schloss
Über die Gestalt der ersten Burg ist nicht mehr viel bekannt. Über den Vorgängerbau des späteren Schlosses informiert eine um 1587 von Daniel Freese für Heinrich Rantzau angefertigte Ahnentafel, die einen Stammbaum umringt von 50 Gütern der Rantzauer Familie zeigt. Für Ranzovia ist ein typisches, zweifaches Doppelhaus dargestellt, wie es vom Mittelalter bis zur Renaissance auf vielen befestigten Gütern des Landes üblich war.

Das heutige Schloss entstammt im Kern noch dem Bau Heinrich Rantzaus von 1590. Rantzau war ein weitgereister Mann mit ausgeprägtem Kunstsinn. Er war über die Kunst der Renaissance in Italien und Frankreich gut unterrichtet und der Neubau des Herrenhauses sollte nach italienischer Art erfolgen. Wenngleich die nordeuropäische Interpretation der Renaissance sehr frei erfolgte, so galt das Werk – einer von vielen Neubauten unter Heinrich Rantzau – bei seiner Vollendung als einer der modernsten und aufwendigsten Adelssitze des Landes.

Auf Gut Rantzau wurde die althergebrachte Form des Doppelhauses überwunden und der Baukörper in zwei Teile getrennt: zwei sich längsseitig gegenüberstehende Bauflügel mit zwei Stockwerken über einem Kellergeschoss. Neben einer Anzahl an Wohnräumen beinhaltete jeder Flügel einen großen Saal: der Südflügel die Kapelle und der Nordflügel den Rittersaal. Die Giebelseiten der Satteldächer waren mit dekorativen Obelisken, Kugeln und Schweifgesimsen versehen. An den äußeren Ecken der Baukörper war je ein Treppenturm angebracht. Verbunden wurden beide Flügel durch einen niedrigen Zwischenbau, der eine mittige Tordurchfahrt enthielt. Das Schloss erhielt durch diese Addition von Einzelbauten die frühe Form einer dreiflügeligen Anlage.

Der Ursprungsbau ist bis heute im ansonsten stark veränderten Herrenhaus zu identifizieren. Das Schloss steht auf den alten Fundamenten und die Seitenflügel sind noch vorhanden, allerdings um ihre hohen Satteldächer und Schmuckgiebel beraubt. Die vier Treppentürme finden sich weiterhin an den Ecken der Flügel und der Grundriss des ersten Geschosses im nördlichen Bau weist noch immer die Aufteilung des 16. Jahrhunderts auf. Die Tordurchfahrt wurde entfernt und stattdessen im 18. Jahrhundert auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Hofs durch J. Chr. Lewon ein neuer Mittelbau samt Turm errichtet, der das Haus zu einer vollständigen Dreiflügelanlage machte. Das heutige, nüchterne Erscheinungsbild des Schlosses ist auf Umbaumaßnahmen von 1845 bis 1847 zurückzuführen, das Hauptportal mit der Freitreppe erhielt seine Gestalt erst 1906. Die geplante Nutzung als Hotel erforderte weitere Umbauten um 1965. Im Jahre 2009 erfolgten Sondierungsarbeiten, welche die aufgrund des völlig heruntergekommenen Zustandes notwendige grundlegende Sanierung vorbereiten sollten. Die Sanierung erfolgte nach Intervention der Denkmalschutzbehörde im Jahr 2010 nicht.

Der Hof und der Garten

Die Kossau, ein den Schlossbereich umfließender Bach, war einst zu einem See aufgestaut und das alte Herrenhaus vollständig von Wasser umgeben. Der See wurde im 18. Jahrhundert wieder abgelassen. Der frühere Wirtschaftshof, dessen Überreste heute vollständig verschwunden sind, befand sich auf einer von Palisaden geschützten Halbinsel, der zwei weitere Inseln mit dem Herrenhaus und einem anschließenden Gartenpavillon folgten. Durch den Schlossbereich führte einst eine gerade Sichtachse, die den Hof und das Herrenhaus einbezog und zu einer kreisförmigen Insel mit dem kleinen Lusthaus führte. Die Sichtachse wurde durch den im 18. Jahrhundert errichteten Mittelturm unterbrochen.

Dem südlichen Seitenflügel war ein barockes Parterre vorgelagert, dessen Platz heute von einer großen Wiese eingenommen wird. Von der barocken Gestaltung sind lediglich einige Baumreihen erhalten, vom einstigen Renaissancegarten Heinrich Rantzaus sind nicht mal mehr Rudimente vorhanden. Die Grünanlagen um das Schloss entsprechen heute einem Landschaftsgarten. Da sie sich weitgehend selbst überlassen sind, findet eine allmähliche Renaturierung statt.

Share All sharing options for: Batman is besieged on all sides in Telltale's episode 3 trailer
Bruce Wayne and Batman — along with, of course, the city they love — are under continued attack in "New World Order," the third episode of Batman: The Telltale Series.
The launch trailer for the episode, which you can watch above, shows a Gotham City that's just starting to recover from the Penguin's devastating attack in "Children of Arkham." Here's the full synopsis from Telltale:
In Episode 3, Penguin's brutal attack broadcast on live TV has left Gotham City reeling. As Bruce and Batman, you'll dig deeper into the web of intrigue surrounding the newly revealed Children of Arkham. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, the mysterious Selina Kyle reveals more of herself to Bruce. And in the aftermath of the attack, Bruce's friend and Gotham's new mayor, Harvey Dent, is a deeply changed man. Who can be trusted when the future of Bruce Wayne — and the Batman — could be determined by the flip of a coin?
"New World Order" is set for release tomorrow, Oct. 25, on Mac, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. A "Season Pass Disc" is now available at retail for players who prefer a physical copy.

Original Animation Cel of Mushrooms from "The Nutcracker Suite" sequence of "Fantasia," 1940
Original hand painted and hand inked production animation cel of Six Dancing Mushrooms and Hop Low from "The Nutcracker Suite" sequence of "Fantasia," 1940, Walt Disney Studios; Set on an airbrushed Courvoisier background with the WDP stamp lower left; Walt Disney Productions Copyright stamp verso; With original Courvoisier Galleries label; Size - Six Mushrooms & Hop Low: 4 3/4 x 8 1/4", Image: 10 x 10 3/4"; Unframed.
"Fantasia" is the third full length animated feature film produced by Walt Disney and released by Walt Disney Productions on November 13, 1940. Story direction was by Joe Grant and Dick Huemer and production supervision was by Ben Sharpsteen. The film consists of eight animated segments, each set to a piece of classical music conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Seven of pieces were performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" used an ad hoc studio orchestra. A live action introduction to each animated segment was by the Master of Ceremonies, music critic and composer Deems Taylor. The concept of the film was developed as Disney was near the completion of a Silly Symphony, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice;" which was designed to be a comeback role for Mickey Mouse, who had declined in popularity. The production costs for the short had grown higher than it would have been able to earn as a stand alone short, so Disney decided to include it within a full length feature film, along with other classic music created animated shorts. The soundtrack for "Fantasia" was recorded using multiple audio channels and reproduced with "Fantasound;" a pioneering sound reproduction system that made "Fantasia" the first commercial film shown with stereophonic sound. The film was released as a theatrical roadshow in thirteen US cities, and although acclaimed by critics; it was unable to make a profit due to World War II cutting off distribution to the European market, the initial high production costs, and the expense of leasing theaters and installing the "Fantasound" equipment. The film was subsequently reissued multiple times with it's original footage and audio being deleted, modified, and/or restored in each version. "Fantasia" is now the 23rd highest-grossing film of all time in the US, when adjusted for inflation. In 1998 the American Film Institute ranked it as the 58th greatest American film in their "100 Years... 100 Movies" and the fifth greatest animated film in their "10 Top 10" list. In 1990, "Fantasia" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being, "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." A sequel, "Fantasia 2000" was co-produced by Roy E. Disney and was released in 1999. Over 1,000 artists and technicians were used in the making of "Fantasia," resulting in more than 500 animated characters. "The Nutcracker Suite," originally composted by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, is made up of selections from the ballet suite underscoring scenes depicting the changing seasons from summer to winter. A variety of dancers are utilized including fairies, fish, flowers, mushrooms, and leaves; and including the music scores of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "Chinese Dance," "Arabian Dance," Russian Dance," "Dance of the Flutes," and "Waltz of the Flowers."
Disney's "The Nutcracker Suite" segment of "Fantasia" was principally animated by Art Babbitt and he has credited "The Three Stooges" as a reference for animating the dancing mushrooms in the "Chinese Dance" sequence. His animation was timed to the music score, which he pinned to his desk in order to work out the choreography. This allowed him to relate the action to the melody and counterpoint, as he said, "those nasty little notes underneath... so something has to be related to that." The small cute mushroom represents the trill of Tchaikovsky's flute, while the larger mushrooms plod about to the pizzicato (plucking of the string section of the orchestra). Babbitt admitted that "I don't know a hell of a lot about music," but his successful animation was able to transform music that was originally written for a fantasy ballet into an organic score for mushrooms, inspired to wiggle around like a slap stick group of comedians. The "Chinese Dance" is widely regarded by animation historians as a textbook example of successful character animation. John Culhane in his definitive book "Fantasia" stated that the smallest mushroom Hop Low (although he is not named in the film, he is named in the theatrical trailer) who is out of step with the others, "projects his personality as vividly as any character in the Disney galaxy - yet he has no dialogue, makes no sound, and doesn't even have a face or hands to gesture with." He also says of the scene that it "is the best example of Disney Studio's genius for compression, its ability to spring an entire character from a simple design in motion." Walt Disney's nephew Roy, remembered that "We sold a million little salt and pepper shakers," in the shape of the "Fantasia" mushrooms.
This is one the finest original production animation cels of the Dancing Mushrooms that exists. The Courvoisier setup has the complete group of six Mushrooms plus the smallest mushroom, Hop Low who steals the show! All the Mushrooms are full figure, with no back shots.

Sheriff's decision not to reopen Zahau case 'not a logical decision', attorney says
By: Jennifer Kastner
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The attorney for Rebecca Zahau's family spoke Friday about the San Diego County Sheriff Department's new review of her death at the Spreckels Mansion in Coronado.
Earlier in the day, Sheriff Bill Gore announced that investigators found no evidence that she "died at the hands of another". The department will not reopen the case.
Zahau's body was found hanging a the Spreckels Mansion in Coronado in 2011. Her wrists and feet were bound. For years, there has been speculation about the nature of her death, which was originally determined to be a suicide.
Zahau family attorney Keith Greer suggested Friday afternoon that the Sheriff's investigators are corrupt. "It's not a logical decision. There's something here that's motivating these folks to do the wrong thing," he told 10News. "I don't know how they look at themselves in the mirror," he added.
Greer said that a rational person would not look at the evidence and believe that Zahau's death was a suicide.
The Zahau family lives in Missouri and did not want to be involved in Friday's briefing at the Sheriff's Department. They did release a recent photo of Zahau's gravesite, surrounded by snow and flowers.
Greer said he and the family are disappointed in the Sheriff's Department, especially after a jury recently ruled in the family's favor during the civil case. The Zahaus plan to fight the Shacknai family in their request to have the civil verdict reversed and request a new trial.

Both trees are thought to have been planted in 1843.

Національний парк Маново-Гоунда-Сен-Флоріс () — національний парк у Центральноафриканській Республіці, розташований в префектурі Бамбінґі-Банґоран, поблизу кордону з Чадом. З 1988 року є об'єктом Всесвітньої спадщини ЮНЕСКО в зв'язку з цінністю його флори і фауни. У зоні савани живуть чорні носороги, слони, гепарди, плямисті пантери, Lycaon pictus, Gazella rufifrons, буйволи, у вологих місцевостях — безліч водоплавних птахів.

У 1933 році на частині території сучасного парку площею 13 500 га був створений національний парк Убангі-Чарі, перейменований в 1935 році в національний парк Матумара. У 1940 році він був перейменований в національний парк Сен-Флоріс, його площа на той час — 40 000 га. У 1960 році територія парку була збільшена до 100 700 га, у 1974 році — до 277 600 га. У 1979 році в результаті об'єднання парку Сен-Флоріс і колишнього мисливського резервату був створений національний парк Манова-Гоунда-Сен-Флоріс.

Загальний опис

Парк розташований в східній частині префектури Бамбінґі-Банґоран на півночі Центральноафриканської Республіки. На півночі його межа збігається з державним кордоном з Чадом. Через парк проходить дорога Нделе-Бірао.

Абсолютна висота парку над рівнем моря варіюється від 400 до 800 м. Парк включає три основні природні зони: покриті травою долини річок Бар-Аук і Бар-Камер на півночі, перехідна рівнина з лісистої саванной і плато Чейн-де-Бонго на півдні. Плато складається в основному з пісковика і підноситься над долиною на 100—200 м. П'ять основних річок парку течуть з плато в долини Бар-Аук і Бар-Камер на півночі, Вакага — на сході, Горо, Гоунда, Кумбарі — на заході. Басейни трьох основних річок повністю знаходяться на території парку. Однак протягом сухого періоду їх русла часто пересихають і досягають тільки долин Бар-Аук і Бар-Камер.

Клімат в парку тропічний, напівсухий судано-гвінейський із середньою річною кількістю опадів від 950 до 1700 мм, що випадають в основному між червнем і листопадом з великою кількістю опадів на піднесеній місцевості. Період з грудня по травень — жаркий і сухий, з чим пов'язані часті пожежі в кінці зими. Температура в північних долинах вище, ніж на плато.

Фауна

Фауна парку відображає перехід між Східною і Західною Африкою, сахелем і тропічними лісами. Він містить 57 видів ссавців, більш, ніж інші частини східної африканської савани. Деякі види особливо потребують захисту: чорні носороги, чисельність яких знижувалася до десяти особин; лісові слони, кількість яких становить 2-3 тисячі, плямисті пантери, гепарди, а також Lycaon pictus.

На території району Сен-Флоріс найпоширенішими ссавцями є коб, Alcelaphus buselaphus і Sylvicapra grimmia, а також менш поширені Kobus ellipsiprymnus, орібі, Damaliscus lunatus, чала антилопа, Redunca redunca, канна гігантська, буйвіл, бородавочник африканський і бегемот звичайний. Поширеними приматами є павіан бабуїн, Cercopithecus patas і Cercopithecus tantalus, а також Colobus guereza в сухих лісах. Серед інших великих ссавців можна зустріти лева, жирафу північну, золоту кішку, Cephalophus rufilatus, Cephalophus sylvicultor і трубкозуба.

Зареєстровано присутність близько 320 видів птахів, з яких 25 — хижі птахи, включаючи Terathopius ecaudatus і Cumcuma vocifer. Тут зустрічаються великі сезонні популяції марабу і пеліканів (рожевого і рожевоспинного). Вологі частини рівнин півночі важливі для водоплавних і сивкових птахів. Тут гніздиться Shoebill Balaeniceps rex. На рівнинах зустрічаються страуси, бджолоїдкі звичайні і рибалочки.

Taiwan is to blame for Kiribati's decision
Source:Global Times Published: 2019/9/20 18:42:31 Last Updated: 2019/9/20 21:25:52
The Pacific island nation of Kiribati on Friday abruptly severed "diplomatic ties" with Taiwan. It came less than a week after the Solomon Islands cut "diplomatic ties" with Taiwan. Taiwan's "diplomacy" is collapsing, and may lose all of its "allies."
Kiribati established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1980, but the Taiwan authority bought over its "diplomatic ties" in 2003. At that time, Taiwan's GDP was about one-fifth of the mainland's, and Taiwan could adopt "money diplomacy." But after more than 10 years, Taiwan's GDP is less than one-twentieth of the mainland's. Such "money diplomacy" has collapsed in Taiwan.
The Taiwan authority declared that the mainland used money to buy over Pacific nations. But these nations required no financial assistance when they switched to the mainland. Because of short-term economic interests, these nations used to maintain "diplomatic ties" with Taiwan. They are now propelled by strategic interests to establish ties with the mainland. After all, a country will seem strange if it has no diplomatic relations with the mainland.
In the globalization era, Taiwan's financial assistance has become less attractive to the smaller nations as the Chinese mainland-proposed Belt and Road Initiative expands coverage. Smaller nations need sustainable development conditions rather than temporary alms from a region which is politically suspicious in itself.
The more "allies" Taiwan loses, the smaller space there will be for Taiwan in the international community to pretend as a "country." This is a warning to Taiwan that "Taiwan independence" leads nowhere.
The Taiwan authority hopes that the US can stop these "allies" from cutting off ties with it. Washington did threaten these nations and demanded that they maintain the status quo with Taiwan. The US threats could exert some pressure, but failed to work for the Solomon Islands and Kiribati.
All countries would evaluate multiple factors in their consideration of diplomacy, and their national interest is the starting point of such an evaluation. Is it more important to develop normal relations with a permanent member of the UN Security Council which has a population of 1.4 billion, or is it wiser to maintain "diplomatic relations" with a region of 20 million people not recognized as a country by the international community? Isn't the answer obvious?
The Taiwan authority accused the Solomon Islands and Kiribati of falling into the mainland's "money trap." Taiwan authorities are humiliating themselves as this shows money-relations are the only thing they know.
The Taiwan authority also declared that every time Taiwan loses an "ally," it is the result of the mainland trying to interfere in Taiwan's regional leadership elections. In fact, all that the Tsai Ing-wen authority considers is the 2020 Taiwan elections. A re-election is Tsai's priority. Tsai would welcome a situation of Taiwan losing all its "allies" as long as it benefits the Democratic Progressive Party's re-election.
The mainland will maintain long-term development and further strengthen its power. The result of the Taiwan elections is uncontrollable, but the mainland is firmly in control of the consequences and influence of Taiwan elections.

2 men dressed as clowns and carrying weapons scare children, police say
FOX NEWS - Two men with weapons and dressed as clowns scared a group of children in Pennsylvania over the weekend, police said Monday.
A group of children were playing hide-and-seek in the woods in West Mifflin at around 4:15 p.m. when they said two men dressed as creepy clowns and carrying weapons came out of nowhere and frightened them, KDKA-TV reported.
"My kid came running in the house screaming that there were two guys chasing him," Michael Milkowski, the father of one of the children, told the station. He added that his son told him one man was carrying a shotgun and the other was carrying a pipe.
West Mifflin and Pittsburgh police searched for the men after Milkowski called 911. However, police did not find anyone in the woods.
Sheriff: Man confesses to killing wife, 3 children, family dog in Celebration


For young adult novel "Freefall Summer," Nashville author Tracy Barrett tapped into her own experiences as a sky diver.
With more than 20 books for children and young adults to her credit, author Tracy Barrett has written her first novel for young readers set in the modern world. With none of her previous influences from magic, time travel, ghosts or the supernatural, "Freefall Summer" is a relevant, coming-of-age book for young adults and parents alike. This story focuses on the need for a child to learn how to be independent without being reckless, and for a parent to learn how to strike a balance between protecting a child and letting go.
I think I came to writing later than most people, when I was in my 30s. I liked writing as a child and was told I was good at it. However, I got discouraged, truly, because I read too much. I'd read a wonderful book and think, "I could never write like that." Once I figured out it was a skill I could learn, things started falling into place.
In 1994, I joined The Society of Book Writers and Illustrators and found a great deal of support for my writing. At the time, I was a college professor teaching Italian at Vanderbilt University, an interesting pursuit, but not creative in the same way as writing. I didn't think I had any good stories in me, so I started writing nonfiction, mostly American history and biographies for children. After completing four or five books, I started writing my own stories. Now I have an equal number of fiction versus nonfiction titles, with "Freefall Summer" being my 23rd book for young readers.
Actually, I think the genre chose me. I think early adolescence is such a fascinating time, when children are learning who they really are. My natural voice seems to be a young teen for I enjoy writing for young readers, tweens and teens.
What influences from your own life are woven through "Freefall Summer"?
My whole life goes into every book I write, whether I realize it or not. Sometimes it takes a reader to point out that they see a parallel. In "Freefall Summer," I'd say there are influences about sibling relationships and friendships. And I have been a sky diver for years, so there are two sky diving incidents from my own experiences and how I reacted to them, but the rest grows from the character.
What research did you do for "Freefall Summer"?
In this book, each chapter starts with a quote or a statistic, so I did a lot of online research to gather that information. Also, I had not jumped in quite a while, so I did a tandem jump to experience it and be able to describe it in the book. Additionally, I had a few "outside readers" review the book for authenticity (i.e., a friend who is also a writer and a sky diver, and a physician, for medical details).
What is the takeaway that you hope readers will have?
I hope readers will better understand that people react differently to tragedy. There are different ways of coping with loss, both healthy and unhealthy. And, I hope my book highlights the importance of having a closeness with family. I certainly don't want to encourage anyone to do reckless things, but I do hope that "Freefall Summer" will encourage others to have more self-confidence. And for parents, that translates into relaxing as their children grow up and encouraging their kids to take a few risks.
Originally from New York, Tracy Barrett now lives in Nashville with her husband (also a skydiver) and two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Steps for Starting Your Car Accident Lawsuit
How to Draft a Complaint in Civil Action for Car Accident Lawsuit
This article will explain the three basic elements necessary to draft and file a Complaint in Civil Action regarding car accident lawsuits. Pennsylvania allows injured victims of car accidents to sue for their economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages may include medical bills, lost employment wages and/or any other out of pocket expenses. Non-economic damages may include physical and emotional pain and suffering.
The Pennsylvania statute of limitations to file a car accident lawsuit is two (2) years from the date of the accident. In order to collect monies as a victim of a car accident, it is often necessary to file a Complaint in Civil Action against the responsible party or parties.
Of course every case is unique, and while this article will set forth the basic elements necessary to draft a car accident lawsuit, this article should not be relied on solely for legal advice. For questions or representation for you car accident lawsuit, refer to a trusted lawyer.
A Complaint in Civil Action is the legal document which typically starts a lawsuit. The Complaint must contain three basic elements which include:
the identity of the parties;
the factual background concerning the accident; and
the legal causes of action on which liability is being imposed and request for damages;
Each of the three basic elements necessary for the Complaint is briefly discussed below.
PART I. Identify ALL Of The Parties.
In every civil lawsuit, there is always at least one plaintiff and one or more defendants. The plaintiff is the party filing the lawsuit, and the defendants are accordingly the party or parties against whom monetary damages are being sought. The Complaint in Civil Action requires that the legal name and address be provided for each named party to a lawsuit (plaintiff(s) and defendant(s)). These averments should be numbered in chronological order beginning with paragraph number one. A separate paragraph should be added for each named plaintiff or defendant. It is important that the plaintiff fully investigate any and all responsible parties before filing the lawsuit. For example, in a car accident case, it can often be necessary to name both the driver and the owner of the vehicle as defendants. This is true even when the owner of the vehicle was not involved in the accident itself. Sometimes it is necessary to name multiple different drivers of vehicles. Thoroughly reviewing any and all police reports and accident reconstruction reports will help to ensure that the proper named defendants are included in the lawsuit.
Example of "Parties" for a Car Accident Complaint:
Plaintiff, Jane Doe is an adult individual with a principal address in Allegheny County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at 123 Main Street, Any town, PA 12345 (hereinafter "Plaintiff").
Defendant John Smith, Jr. is an adult individual residing in Allegheny County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at 321 Main Street, Any town, PA 12345 (hereinafter "Defendant Smith, Jr.").
Defendant John Smith, Sr. is an adult individual residing in Allegheny County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at 321 Main Street, Any town, PA 12345 (hereinafter "Defendant Smith, Sr.").
Defendant Smith, Sr. is the father of Defendant, Smith, Jr.
PART II. State The Factual Background.
The second section of the Complaint in Civil Action for a car accident lawsuit is the factual background of the accident. This section will also include numbered paragraphs and will provide the chronological history relevant to how the accident occurred. This section, while should be factual in nature, is also typically written in a persuasive manner towards the Plaintiffs. Written police investigation reports can be a useful tool in formulating the factual background. If written properly, the factual background should contain all of the facts necessary to support the legal Causes of Action listed in Section III below. In other words, this section should contain the full and complete factual background and history regarding how the accident occurred. This section may or may not be lengthy in nature. Here is an example of a factual background section from a car accident lawsuit which was filed in Pennsylvania.
Example of Factual Background Section for Car Accident Complaint:
On or about May 5, 2015, Plaintiff was a passenger in a 2001 Honda CRV owned by Defendant Smith, Sr.
Defendant Smith, Jr. was driving the vehicle.
The vehicle was traveling on Interstate I-123 carrying a total of four passengers.
Plaintiff was the front seat restrained passenger in the vehicle.
It was daytime and the weather was clear.
It is believed that Defendants' vehicle was traveling in excess of the posted speed limit, at approximately eighty (80) miles per hour.
It is believed that near mile marker 209 Defendant Smith, Jr. attempted to switch lanes to pass another vehicle and failed to see the car in the left lane adjacent to his.
At this time, Defendant Smith, Jr. swerved to miss said vehicle in the adjacent left lane and overcorrected.
As a result, the car rolled over at least four times.
Plaintiff was reportedly in and out of consciousness at the scene of the accident.
Plaintiff was transported by ambulance to Medical Hospital for further emergency treatment.
As a direct result of the accident, Plaintiff sustained the following injuries, some or all of which may be permanent in nature:
Blunt force trauma to the head and concussive related symptoms;
Cuts and abrasions, including a laceration to her left heel;

Other severe and/or possible permanent injuries, including PTSD and other emotional issues.
Plaintiff continues to experience pain and anxiety as a result of the accident which may continue indefinitely into the future.
PART III. State The Legal Causes Of Action.
The third section of the Complaint ("legal causes of action") will typically be the most difficult for a layperson to write concerning a car accident lawsuit. The legal causes of action include the legal theories as to why the defendant(s) were responsible. Most, but not all car accident lawsuits will include a count for "negligence." In the simplest of terms, negligence means a breach of a duty of care. For example, we all have a duty to be careful when operating motor vehicles. When we breach that duty, and our actions cause an accident, we are legally responsible for any and all damages under the legal theory of "Negligence." Caution, it is important to identify specifically each and every way in which a defendant was indeed negligent. These may include but are not limited to, a) failing to stop at a stop sign; b) speeding; c) violation of a Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Statute, and/or d) not paying attention to the circumstances around you. Sometimes negligence can apply to owners of a vehicle through what is called, "negligent entrustment." This is a separate count and should be pled in the Complaint as a separate and distinct legal cause of action. Before filing a Complaint for a car accident lawsuit, you must investigate specifically each and every way in which the named defendant(s) were responsible for the accident. This will often include proper investigation of facts and events well before the accident ever occurred.
Example of "Legal Causes of Action" for Car Accident Complaint:
COUNT I: NEGLIGENCE As To Defendant Smith, Jr.
The proceeding paragraphs are herein incorporated by reference.
Defendant Smith, Jr. had a duty to use caution and care in operating the vehicle owned by his Father, Defendant Smith, Sr.
Defendant Smith, Jr. should have checked his blind spot for other vehicles before proceeding into the left lane.
Defendant Smith, Jr. should have operated a vehicle at a safe speed measured at or below the posted speed limit.
Defendant Smith, Jr. failed to exercise reasonable care to protect Plaintiff and was reckless, careless, and/or negligent in the operation of the vehicle in one or more of the following ways:
In failing to maintain a safe speed;
In failing to safely operate her vehicle by failing to check his blind spots before switching lanes;
In failing to have the vehicle under proper control;
In failing to keep proper lookout;
In failing to be attentive to his vehicle and the environment;
In failing to operate the vehicle's brakes;
In excessively swerving or overcorrecting to avoid the other vehicle which resulted in the car flipping;
In operating his vehicle without due regard to the rights and safety of Plaintiff, who was a passenger;
In failing to operate the brakes and steering mechanisms of the vehicle in such a manner as to avoid flipping the vehicle four or more times; and/or
In failing to be careful under the circumstances at that time.
Because of the foregoing negligent acts and/or omissions, Defendant Smith, Jr. created a dangerous condition for Plaintiff and others on the roadway.
As a direct and proximate result of Defendant Smith, Jr.'s negligent conduct, as described above, Plaintiff sustained severe and painful injuries, some of which may be permanent, including:
Blunt force trauma to her head, including concussive related symptoms;
Various cuts and abrasions, including a laceration to her left heel;
Pelvic pain;
Shoulder pain;
Chest pain;
Injury with damage to the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles and/or soft tissues including stiffness, loss of range of motion, soreness, pain, and arthritis;
Emotion issues, including PTSD; and
Other severe and/or permanent injuries.
As a further result of Defendant Smith, Jr.'s negligence and by reason of the injuries sustained, Plaintiff has in the past suffered and will in the future continue to suffer great pain, agony, and mental anguish, including anxiety and nightmares, and will be hindered from attending her daily duties and functions, to her great detriment and loss.
As a further result of Defendant Smith, Jr.'s negligence, Plaintiff has in the past been and will in the future be obliged to expend various sums of money and/or incur various expenses for the injuries sustained.
Directly and proximately as a result of the aforesaid negligence of Defendant Smith, Jr., the Plaintiff sustained injuries and is entitled by law to recover for the following damages:
Compensation for expenses for medical treatment and services from March 8, 2014, until the present and into the future;
Compensation for past, present, and future pain and suffering;
Compensation for shock, fright, discomfort, mental anxiety, loss of well-being, and the loss of enjoyment of life, all in the past, present, and future; and
Compensation for lost wages and future earning potential.
Wherefore, Plaintiff demands judgment be entered in her favor and against Defendant Smith, Jr. in an amount in excess of the compulsory arbitration limits, and other such relief this Court may deem just and appropriate, plus costs of suit.
This second count of negligence will include the allegation of negligent entrustment against the father and owner of the vehicle. It is also pled against the driver.
COUNT II: NEGLIGENCE
As to Defendant Smith, Jr. & Defendant Smith, Sr., jointly and severally.
Defendants had a duty to take reasonable care to prevent the unsafe operation of their vehicle and/or operation by people likely to operate the vehicle in an unreasonably dangerous manner.
The duty was owed to those who might encounter or be injured by said Defendants' vehicle, including passengers therein.
Defendants were negligent, reckless, and/or careless, generally and in the following particulars:
In entrusting his vehicle to Defendant Smith, Jr. when Defendants knew or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known that it was not reasonably prudent to do so under the circumstances;
In entrusting his vehicle to Defendant Smith, Jr. with knowledge that she was a poor driver and unfit to operate said vehicle;
In failing to realize that Defendant Smith, Jr. was not sufficiently experienced or qualified to safely operate a vehicle; and/or
In entrusting his vehicle to Defendant Smith, Jr. when Defendants knew or should have known that Defendant Smith, Jr. would operate the vehicle in such as manner as to create an unreasonable risk to others, including Plaintiff.
As a clear and proximate result of the Defendants' recklessness, carelessness and/or negligence, Plaintiff sustained the following injuries: etc. (See injuries listed in Count I.)
PART IV. Miscellaneous – What You Still Need To Know.
As stated, this article is only the beginning as there is still much more to be considered when drafting a Complaint in Civil Action for a car accident lawsuit. For example, just to name a few additional considerations:
The Verification. All complaints in Pennsylvania must contain a verification page signed by the parties. See 231 Pa. Code Rule 1024. The verification is an affidavit signed by a plaintiff or defendant verifying that the facts listed in their legal pleading are true and correct to the best of their knowledge, information and belief. Anyone singing a verification is subject under the penalty of perjury. A complaint in a car accident lawsuit may be dismissed without a proper verification attached.
The Notice to Defend. See 231 Pa. Code Rule 1018.1. The Notice to Defend is an essential element of any Complaint in Civil Action. It is important to check the local rules of each county as well, as some, but not all of the counties in Pennsylvania have specific Notice to Defend Forms which must be used. Philadelphia County has a Notice to Defend Form which must be sent in both English and Spanish, and failure to comply with the local rule can mean dismissal of the Complaint in Civil Action. The Notice to Defend must also contain the proper lawyer referral contact information.
Arbitration or General Docket. In Pennsylvania, the civil courts provide an option for victims of car accidents to file suit either in General Docket or Arbitration. The difference has to do with the amount of damages being sought. Each county has different arbitration limits. For example, the arbitration limits in Allegheny County, PA are $35,000. If you are seeking more than $35,000 then you should file your Complaint in the General Docket, and you will have the right to request a judge or jury. If you are seeking less than $35,000, then you may file in Compulsory Arbitration. The Arbitration consists of presenting your case in front of three local lawyers which form an Arbitration panel. Once the panel issues a decision, each party then has thirty days to appeal the arbitration decision to General Docket. The choice to file in General Docket or Arbitration is an important decision that needs to be made prior to filing any Complaint. Also, as with other procedural matters, each County may have its own rules in addition to the Pennsylvania Code on Compulsory Arbitration.
Drafting a car accident lawsuit requires a through investigation of the parties, the legal causes of action, and the damages which were suffered. It is important to include ALL possible defendants in the lawsuit and to research local county rules concerning the Notice to Defend, the Compulsory Arbitration limits, and other local county rules which may apply to your case.

Profile: the stable background of Derrick Bird
Mike Wade
June 3 2010, 1:50pm, The Times
Police outside High Trees Farm, the home of David Bird, who was murdered by his brother DerrickRichard Rayner/North News
Derrick Bird grew up with his brothers and parents in Ennerdale Bridge, a pretty village at the head of one of the Lake District's most remote and beautiful valleys. The house, in a neat, pebble-dashed terrace next to the village pub, had been in the family for at least two generations, inherited by Derrick's late father Joe.
Until the shootings, Mary, his 90-year-old mother, still lived there. Today the curtains were drawn, and locals said the old lady had gone away.
In a village where so many houses are now holiday lets, the family had unusually deep connections with Ennerdale. Derrick and David — the twin he murdered — grew up in this house along with their elder brother, Brian.
Their father was a well-known…

Is agent Jorge Mendes behind Diego Costa's row with Chelsea?
Spanish striker ready to reconcile with manager Antonio Conte, but is likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer
Chelsea striker Diego Costa

Diego Costa's future at Chelsea remains unclear, with some reports claiming he has been summoned to clear-the-air talks with boss Antonio Conte and others saying no such meeting has been arranged.
Chelsea set for £500m Stamford Bridge redevelopment
How Antonio Conte became Chelsea's new 'Special One'
Conte and Moses turn Chelsea into title contenders
The Spanish striker was exiled from the first team following a reported bust-up over a back injury last week, after it emerged that Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian wanted to sign him this month on a £30m-a-year pay deal.
Chelsea have made it clear they will not allow Costa to leave in the middle of the season.
According to The Times, Conte now wants to hold a meeting with the player "to assess the state of his mind and body as he begins preparations for Sunday's Premier League match against Hull City at Stamford Bridge".
Costa, 28, who has scored 14 goals this season, "has been working on his own for the past week after a disagreement with Chelsea's fitness coaches last Tuesday over the state of his lower back, with Conte taking the side of his backroom staff", adds the paper.
There could be friendlier relations in the offing as Costa "has shown some willingness to heal the wounds caused by last week's bust-up... [and] is believed to want to keep playing for Chelsea in the short term".
However, The Guardian says the onus is on him to instigate a reconciliation - and that there are no plans for talks between player and manager.
Even if Costa does make up with Chelsea, it is likely to be a short-term arrangement. "It appears increasingly likely he will depart Stamford Bridge in the summer," says The Guardian. "The events of the past week have ensured their original plan to secure Costa to new terms - his deal expires in 2019 - has effectively been abandoned."
The current impasse may be the result of a power play by Costa's agent, Jorge Mendes, says Jason Burt of the Daily Telegraph. China has emerged as a lucrative new market but so far, the biggest deals have been negotiated by Mendes's rival, Kia Joorabchian.
Is he can negotiate a deal that takes one of the Premier League's biggest stars to China, adds Burt, Mendes "will have reaffirmed his status as the world's most influential super-agent".
However, Chelsea are determined not to become the pawns in a wider game.
"They are aware of the context of the deal and the volatility of the player and hope that it may blow over at least until the end of this campaign, when it will be less damaging to let Costa finally go. Until then they cannot be seen to be dictated to," says Burt.
Can Chelsea win Premier League without Diego Costa?
A tumultuous weekend for Chelsea ended with the Blues seven points clear of their nearest rivals in the title race but with a cloud hanging over their Premier League campaign.
Antonio Conte's team brushed champions Leicester City aside on Saturday, but did so without the help of top scorer Diego Costa who was banished from the first team squad following a bust-up with a fitness coach amid rumours that the combustible Spaniard wants to quit Stamford Bridge for China.
So while the Blues extended their lead, thanks to Liverpool's draw with Manchester United, they "must put out the astonishing fire set in their own home", says Riath al-Samarrai of the Daily Mail.
This season has been like a game of snakes and ladders for the big teams, he says, and "there is no denying the situation at Stamford Bridge could potentially open the door for the pack".
There are fears that Costa could become a "bad apple". BBC pundit Alan Shearer says if that happens Chelsea should let him go. He also warned that the Blues faced a "huge uphill struggle" to win the league without him.
Former Chelsea player Ray Wilkins echoed those sentiments on Sky Sports. "If they are going to win the Premier League they are going to need this guy," he said, while questioning Costa's motivation for moving to China.
Others are bemused by Costa's apparent desire to quit Stamford Bridge. "Can you really not want to be part of a team that could still – even with the rest of the big six in pleasing form – canter to the title?" asks Andy Dunn in the Daily Mirror.
But even if the Spaniard does leave, Chelsea are still in a strong position, as their performance against Leicester has proved. "This was not irrefutable proof of their capability to win the Premier League without Costa, but it was a luminous enough indicator," says Dunn.
The Costa row gave manager Antonio Conte "the opportunity to prove the versatility and flexibility of his squad", says Phil McNulty of the BBC, with Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro providing plenty of attacking threat.
"The priority now is to get the combustible Spain striker back on side and ensure any unrest does not spread," he adds. "If that can be done, then Chelsea can look back at a weekend where their title position was strengthened as they now stand seven points clear."
Even if Costa does depart it might not be the end of the world, says Jacob Steinberg of The Guardian. "There will be tougher tests than Leicester for Chelsea, such as the trip to Liverpool on 31 January, and their best team still includes Costa," he says. "Even without him, however, they have the look of killers."

BoschBot: Twitter Bots, The Garden of Earthly Delights, and the Distant Reading of a Painting
Every few hours BoschBot shares a new piece of The Garden of Earthly Delights. Each post connecting pieces of heaven and hell between numbered coordinates to an audience of over 35,000 on Twitter. How can a Twitter bot help us connect with a painting one piece at a time?
We have online relationships with art; with paintings that we love and have never seen in person. The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch is a Dutch three-paneled oil painting that is the size of a Volkswagen bus when viewed in person at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. Created between 1490 and 1500, the hundreds of scenes presented in The Garden of Earthly Delights "share the single common denominator of the concept of sin", each panel guiding the viewer first from the garden of Eden, second through the Garden of Earthly Delights, and then, finally, to Hell.
The Garden of Earthly Delights is a masterpiece of sensory overload; each small segment of the work indescribable to the person next to you in a tidal wave of grotesque beauty that shows you something new every time you look at it. Thousands of little moments; beautiful and horrible at the same time. What if we viewed The Garden of Earthly Delights as just that? As thousands of little moments?
BoschBot is a Twitter account created in 2016 by Nig Thomas that shares small segments of The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. Each post is shared in a standard format; one image accompanied by coordinates that tell us where in the painting we are, "left, top, width, height, total width of source". Viewing The Garden of Earthly Delights with BoschBot is like pushing a jigsaw puzzle off a coffee table to admire each individual piece apart from the whole.
https://twitter.com/boschbot
With programs we can create new ways to connect with art that work for humans and computers. Twitter bots are one way to do that, making new paths for viewing and engaging with art online, from individual works to entire collections. What do we gain and lose in that experience? BoschBot shares The Garden of Earthly Delights in a way that is divorced from context and physicality that separates part from whole. This is BoschBot's greatest flaw and feature; where the thousands pieces that together create The Garden of Earthly Delights can be admired for the lush and uncommon images they each contain. What we love about The Garden of Earthly Delights is what we love about BoschBot on a smaller screen.
If we look closely we can find something new to love about a painting we've known for 500 years. BoschBot creates new ways to see The Garden of Earthly Delights; casting a light on the thousands of images in numbered coordinates that in sum hold a masterpiece at the foundation.
BoschBot, Twitter.

Q: react-markdown to render mix of markdown and HTML, will get warning Whitespace text nodes cannot appear as a child of  I need to render content that is a mix of markdown and regular HTML. The content is queried from server, which I can't decide whether there are whitespace inside table. for example the content raw data:
# [React](https://reactjs.org/)
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

  TEST TEST TES

because react-markdown typically escapes HTML, I need to use rehype-raw to render HTML properly.
For the content body above, if I just use dangerouslySetInnerHTML to render it, there will be not error except the markdown format will not be rendered.

however if I use react-markdown with rehype-raw, although both HTML and markdown can be rendered, I get a warning in dev tool
        <ReactMarkdown rehypePlugins={[rehypeRaw]}>
            {props.content!}
        </ReactMarkdown>

Warning: validateDOMNesting(...): Whitespace text nodes cannot appear
as a child of . Make sure you don't have any extra whitespace
between tags on each line of your source code.

So my questions are:

*

*I know what this warning is, but why I don't get this warning when I use dangerouslySetInnerHTML but it appears when I use react-markdown

*since I can't control the content body as it's from server-side, is there any way I can prevent is warning from appearing on the dev tool?

New Clip from "Lucky" Features David Lynch and Harry Dean Stanton
Magnolia Pictures released a new clip from the John Carroll Lynch directing debut Lucky (2017) about a week after star Harry Dean Stanton passed away from natural causes. You can find my article commemorating Harry Dean Stanton's prolific career in film by clicking here. With Lucky finally being given a wide release in the U.S.A. next week, this clip helps give the flavor of what looks to be a beautiful character study.
It definitely looks like an intriguing film, which will be a must-see for all David Lynch fans. David Lynch appears to have an unusually important supporting role in this film, a rare sight that should be cherished. I personally think it would be amusing if David Lynch ended up acting more than directing in his older age.
Although I have not yet had the chance to watch Lucky yet, rumor has it from the film festival circuit that Harry Dean Stanton gives the performance of his lifetime in it. So interestingly, he may have an excellent chance of gaining his first ever Oscar nomination and perhaps even a posthumous win. It is a travesty that such a talented actor could go ignored for over sixty years. But now is the perfect opportunity to correct the error.
From the trailer you can learn the basic premise and tone of the film, which seems like a quirky character drama that explores some of the deep questions about life and death, spirituality and god, and perhaps the meaning one can take from life near the end of mortality. I will definitely be looking for a screening on its release date a week from today on September 29, 2017.
Again, I applaud new director John Carroll Lynch for assembling together such a talented group of underappreciated actors, he himself being one of those underappreciated supporting actors himself. He recently gave a great performance as one of the McDonald's brothers in The Founder (2016), a loyalist newspaperman in Turn: Washington's Spies (2014-2017), a reformed pacifist nurturer in The Walking Dead (2010-Present), and an extremely memorable role in David Fincher's masterpiece Zodiac (2007).
