\section{Introduction}

We sent this work for publication at the end of 2005 marked as the
\emph{\textbf{World Year of Physics}}. As its epigraph we could use the
well-known citation of A. Einstein:
\begin{equation}\label{4}
     \emph{\rm{EXPERIMENT = GEOMETRY + PHYSICS}}\,
\end{equation}
This thesis has been convincingly confirmed in the special theory of
relativity, the general theory of relativity and quantum theory. The universal
constants $c$, $G$ and $\hbar$ playing a key role in these theories, allow
simple interpretation in either a geometry context or group theoretical terms
directly connected with geometry.

In the special theory of relativity the velocity of light $c$ appears in
the definition of the metric of the pseudo-Euclidean space-time:
\begin{equation}\label{1}
ds^2 = c^2 dt^2 - (dx_1)^2-(dx_2)^2-(dx_3)^2.
\end{equation}
The corresponding 3-dimensional velocity space has Lobachevsky geometry with
negative curvature $-1/c^2$.

In the general theory of relativity the space time carries Riemann
geometry and the components of the Riemann metric tensor depending  on the
universal constants $c$ and $G$ as parameters play the role of
gravitational potentials.

In quantum mechanics such observables as momentum, energy, and angular momentum
are generators of the Galilean group. The Planck constant $\hbar$ is involved
in them explicitly  and determines the value of the quantum of angular
momentum.

Taking into account the above considerations we may formulate the
\emph{\textbf{heuristic conclusion:}} the appearance of  universal
constants in the description of certain physical phenomena is a signal
that in such cases an important role may be played by
\emph{\textbf{geometric}} arguments which, because of (\ref{4}), simplify
the understanding of the \emph{\textbf{physical }}essence of the
considered processes.

To this end  let us turn to the contemporary theory of elementary particles
known as the Standard Model (SM). The notion "elementary particle"
supposes that in accordance with present experimental data these objects do
not have a composite structure and are described by \emph{\textbf{local
fields}}. The SM Lagrangian depends on a \emph{\textbf{finite}} number of
fields of this kind:

- three families of quark and lepton fields;

- four vector boson fields $W^{\pm}$, $Z^0$, $\gamma$;

- an octet of gluon fields $g$;

- the hypothetic field of the Higgs boson $H$.

The $H$-boson has a different from zero vacuum expectation value
\begin{equation}\label{2}
    \langle0|H(x)|0\rangle = h_0
\end{equation}
with dimension of mass. Thanks to this circumstance  fields which have to
be massive obtain masses proportional to $h_0$ when interacting with
$H(x)$. As far as in the SM there are a finite number of particles, their
masses are bounded from above.

The main idea underlying this work is a more general statement:
\emph{\textbf{mass spectrum of all particles described by local fields
should cuts off on a certain mass $M$:}}
\begin{equation}\label{3}
    m \leq M.
\end{equation}
This universal parameter is called the \emph{\textbf{fundamental mass}}.
In other words, in fact we introduce \emph{\textbf{a new notion of a local
field}}, intrinsically consistent with the condition (\ref{3}). Now
objects for which $ m
> M$ cannot be considered as elementary particles, as  to them does not
correspond a local field.

The above-presented approach allows a simple geometric realization if one
considers that the fundamental mass $M$ is the curvature radius of the momentum
anti de Sitter 4-space ($\hbar = c =1$)
\begin{equation}\label{O32}
    p_0^2 - p_1^2 - p_2^2 - p_3^2 + p_5 ^2 = M^2.
\end{equation}
For a free particle, for which  $p_0^2 - \overrightarrow{p}^2 = m^2$, the
condition (\ref{3})  is automatically satisfied on the surface
(\ref{O32}). In the approximation
\begin{equation}\label{Plpred}
    |p_0|,\;\;|\overrightarrow{p}| \ll M, p_5 \cong M.
\end{equation}

\noindent the anti de Sitter geometry does not differ from the Minkowski
geometry in four dimensional pseudo--Euclidean $p$-space.

However, it is much less obvious that in  the momentum 4-space (\ref{O32})
one may fully develop the apparatus of quantum field theory, which after
transition to configuration representation (with the help of a specific
5-dimensional Fourier transform) looks like a local field theoretical
formalism in the four dimensional $x$-space \cite{Kad1}--\cite{Kad2}.
It is fundamentally important that the new theory may be formulated in a
gauge invariant way \cite{Kad1,KM1,CDKM}). In other
words, in the considered \emph{\textbf{geometric}} approach there are
conditions to construct an adequate generalization of the Standard Model,
which gives one more illustration of the profundity of the Einstein idea
(\ref{4}). The following sections of this paper are devoted to this task.

At the end of this introduction we would like to note  one important
geometric point. The fact is that simultaneously with (\ref{O32}) , in
$5$-dimensional $p$-space a second surface exists,
\begin{equation}\label{O41}
    p_0^2 - p_1^2 - p_2^2 - p_3^2 - p_5 ^2 = - \mathfrak{M}^2 ,
\end{equation}
on which the  \emph{\textbf{$4$-dimensional de Sitter  momentum space }}is
realized. Although in this case the boundary on the particles mass
(\ref{3}) does not appear, in the flat limit (\ref{Plpred}) the de Sitter
geometry, similarly to anti de Sitter one, coincides with the
pseudo-Euclidean geometry of Minkowski $p$-space. Moreover, on the basis
of (\ref{O41}) it is not difficult to develop the formalism of local
gauge-invariant quantum field theory in configurational 4-space
\cite{Kad1}--\cite{Kad2}. In what follows we shall see that this
version of the theory will find its application in the realization of the
Higgs mechanism in the developed approach.

\section{Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the case of neutral self--interacting scalar
field}

Let us demonstrate that in the theory of self--interacting neutral scalar
field $\varphi(x)$ developed on the basis of the de Sitter geometry
(\ref{O41}) there is a spontaneous symmetry breaking of  discrete symmetry
(an analogue of $\varphi(x) \rightarrow - \varphi(x)$). Moreover, after
the transition to the new stable vacuum the Lagrangian of the system takes
the form corresponding to the anti de Sitter case (\ref{O32}) and the
fundamental mass $M$ is determined in terms of $\mathfrak{M}$. In other
words, there is a phase transition from the de Sitter geometry to anti
de Sitter geometry.

In accordance to \cite{KM2}, the free field Lagrangian for the massless
 neutral scalar field in the case (\ref{O41}) has the
form:
\begin{equation}\label{LO41m0}
    \mathcal{L}_0(x) = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 + \frac{\mathfrak{M}^2}{2}(\chi(x) -
     \varphi(x))^2 \equiv \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 - U_0 (\varphi, x),
\end{equation}

\noindent where $\chi(x)$ is a neutral auxiliary field.

If we now introduce in (\ref{LO41m0}) the simplest interaction in the
 form\footnote{Let us note \cite{KM2} that in the limit
$\mathfrak{M}\rightarrow\infty$, i.e. after the transition to the theory
in the Minkowski $p$-space, the field variables $\varphi(x)$ and $\chi(x)$
coincide: $\varphi(x)=\chi(x)$.}:

\begin{equation}\label{L41int}
   \mathcal{L}_{int}(x) = - \frac{\lambda^2}{4}\left(\varphi^2(x) + \chi^2(x)\right)^2,
\end{equation}

\noindent we obtain the following expression for the total density of the
potential energy:
\begin{equation}\label{Ux}
    U(x) = - \frac{\mathfrak{M}^2}{2}\left(\chi(x) -
     \varphi(x)\right)^2 + \frac{\lambda^2}{4}\left(\varphi^2(x) + \chi^2(x)\right)^2.
\end{equation}

\noindent It is evident that the considered system has a nonstable vacuum
state. The spontaneous transition to the new stable vacuum is accompanied by
breaking of the discrete symmetry:
\begin{equation}\label{dissymm}
    \begin{array}{c}
      \varphi(x) \rightarrow - \varphi(x)\\
 \chi(x)  \rightarrow   - \chi(x). \\
    \end{array}
\end{equation}
The standard procedure of substitution of $\varphi(x)$ and $\chi(x)$ by
variables with zero vacuum expectation values

\begin{equation}\label{phichiprime}
    \varphi'(x)= \varphi(x)- \varphi_0 = \varphi(x)-
    \frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda},\;\;\;
    \chi'(x)= \chi(x) - \chi_0 = \chi(x) + \frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda}
\end{equation}
leads to the total Lagragian of the system of the form:
\begin{equation}\label{L0ev}
\begin{array}{c}
\mathcal{L}(x) = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi'(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 - \frac{\mathfrak{M}^2}{2}(\chi'(x) -
     \varphi'(x)+ 2\frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda})^2 + \\
    + \frac{\lambda^2}{4}\left((\varphi'(x) - 2\frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda})^2 +
     (\chi'(x)+2\frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda})^2\right)^2 =   \\
= \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi'(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 - \frac{3}{2}\mathfrak{M}^2(\varphi'^2(x) + \chi'^2(x))
    + \mathfrak{M}^2\varphi'(x) \chi'(x) + \mathcal{L}_{int}= \\
    = \mathcal{L}_0(\varphi', \chi') + \mathcal{L}_{int}(\varphi', \chi'). \\
    \label{lll}
\end{array}
\end{equation}
On the other hand, in the theory of the neutral scalar field with mass
$m$, based on the anti de Sitter geometry (\ref{O32}), the free field
Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}_0(\varphi, \chi)$  has the form \cite{KM2,Kad2}:
\begin{equation}\label{L032}
\begin{array}{c}
    \mathcal{L}(x) = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 - \frac{m^2}{2}\varphi(x)^2 - \frac{M^2}{2}(\chi(x) -
    cos\mu \;\varphi(x))^2 = \\
 = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\partial\varphi(x)}{\partial
    x_\mu}\right)^2 - \frac{M^2}{2}(\varphi^2(x) + \chi^2(x))+ M^2\cos\mu\;\varphi(x)\chi(x), \\
\cos\mu = \sqrt{1 - \frac{m^2}{M^2}}.\\
\end{array}
\end{equation}

Comparing $\mathcal{L}(x)$ (\ref{L032}) and  $\mathcal{L}_0(\varphi', \chi')$ (\ref{lll}), we conclude
that these two expressions are identical if one puts
\begin{equation}\label{mhiggs}
    \mathfrak{M}^2 = M^2 cos\mu ; \;\;\;\;\;\;\; 3\; \mathfrak{M}^2 = M^2.
\end{equation}
Therefore, as a result of the spontaneous symmetry breaking the field
$\varphi(x)$ obtains the mass
\begin{equation}\label{mh}
    m_H = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}M < M.
\end{equation}

 At the end of this paragraph we shall make two remarks:

1. In our approach all fields (including $\varphi(x)$ and, in a more
general case, the Higgs field $H(x)$) before the symmetry breaking may be
considered as massless. The point is that here the dimension of mass $[m]$
is generated by the fundamental mass $\mathfrak{M}$.

2. In contrast to the standard approach we did not need to introduce a
tachyon. In certain sense the role of a tachyon mass is played by the
quantity $\mathfrak{M}$, which is the curvature radius of the de Sitter
$p$-space.

\section{Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the case of interacting abelian vector
and charged scalar fields}

Let us apply the developed in \cite{Kad1}--\cite{Kad2} methods to
describe the interaction between a neutral abelian vector field and a
 charged scalar field with self--interaction. As before we shall start with
 the de Sitter geometry (\ref{O41}). The total Lagrangian of the
 considered system in this case has the form\footnote{With
 the details one may be acquainted, for instance, in \cite{CDKM}.}
 \begin{equation}\label{Ltot}
    \begin{array}{c}
 \mathcal{L}(x) = \Bigg[- \frac{1}{4}\overline{F_{KL}}(x, x_5)F^{KL}(x, x_5) + \\
 + 2\left| \frac{\partial(e^{-i\mathfrak{M} x_5}A_L(x, x_5))}{\partial x_L}
  - 2i \mathfrak{M} e^{-i\mathfrak{M} x_5} A_5(x, x_5)\right|^2      \\
      +
\overline{D_\mu \varphi(x, x_5)}D^\mu \varphi(x, x_5) + \mathfrak{M}^2
|\varphi(x, x_5) - \frac{i}{\mathfrak{M}}D_5\varphi(x, x_5)|^2 -\\
- \lambda^2\left(|\varphi(x, x_5)|^2 +
\frac{1}{\mathfrak{M}^2}|D_5\varphi (x, x_5)|^2 \right)^2\Bigg]_{x_5 = 0}, \quad
K,L = 0, 1, 2, 3, 5
    \end{array}
\end{equation}
where we have introduced the covariant derivatives
\begin{equation}\label{D}
    \begin{array}{c}
     D_\mu = \partial_\mu + i q e^{-i\mathfrak{M}x_5}A_\mu(x, x_5),  \\
      D_5 = \partial_5 + i q e^{-i\mathfrak{M}x_5}A_5(x, x_5). \\
    \end{array}
\end{equation}
Let us emphasize that in (\ref{Ltot}) the expression in square brackets is
defined in five dimensional configuration space. The Lagrangian involves
the variables $\frac{i}{\mathfrak{M}}\frac{\partial A_\mu}{\partial x_5}$
and $\frac{i}{\mathfrak{M}}\frac{\partial A_5}{\partial x_5}$, which have
an auxiliary character. Moreover, (\ref{Ltot})  depends on the component
$A_5$ which is a gauge degree of freedom. One may easily exclude all these
quantities. As a result the Lagrangian takes the form
\begin{equation}\label{Lint41}\begin{array}{c}
  \mathcal{L}(x) = - \frac{1}{4}F_{\mu\nu}(x)F^{\mu\nu}(x) + \overline{D_\mu
\varphi(x)}D^\mu \varphi(x) +                                \\
+ \;\mathfrak{M}^2 |\varphi(x) - \chi(x)|^2 - \lambda^2(|\varphi(x)|^2 +
|\chi(x)|^2 )^2,                                 \\
\end{array}
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}\label{chi}
    \chi(x) = \frac{i}{\mathfrak{M}}\frac{\partial\varphi(x, x_5)}{\partial
    x_5}\Bigg|_{x_5= 0}.
\end{equation}
Let us separate the real and imaginary parts in $\varphi$ and $\chi$,
\begin{equation}\label{phi12chi12}
    \varphi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\varphi_1 + i\varphi_2),\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;
    \chi= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\chi_1 + i\chi_2),
\end{equation}
and pass to fields with zero vacuum expectation values, choosing the
phases in a simple manner (compare with (\ref{phichiprime})).
\begin{equation}\label{Fo}
 \begin{array}{c}
 \varphi_1 \rightarrow \varphi_1 -
\frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda},\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\chi_1 \rightarrow \chi_1 +
\frac{\mathfrak{M}}{\lambda},                            \\
\varphi_2 \rightarrow \varphi_2,\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\chi_2\rightarrow
\chi_2. \\
\end{array}
\end{equation}
In the same way as in the usual theory one of the results of the
spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry is a rearrangement of the field
degrees of freedom with conservation of their number. The field
$\varphi_2$ becomes the longitudinal component of the vector field $A_\mu$
and the latter obtains the mass
\begin{equation}\label{m2}
    m_V^2 = \frac{\mathfrak{M}^2 q^2}{\lambda^2}.
\end{equation}
Moreover, the quadratic in the scalar fields part of the Lagrangian has a
structure corresponding to anti de Sitter geometry (\ref{O41}).
Therefore, the parameter  $\mathfrak{M}$ may be expressed, using
(\ref{mhiggs}), in terms of the fundamental mass $M$. As a result we
obtain from (\ref{m2}) for the mass $m_V$ of the vector field
\begin{equation}\label{mV}
    \frac{m_V^2}{M^2} = \frac{q^2}{3\lambda^2}.
\end{equation}
Since in the geometry (\ref{O32}) the mass of a particle cannot exceed the
fundamental mass $M$, from (\ref{mV}) it follows the relation between the
coupling constants $q$ and $\lambda$
\begin{equation}\label{qlambda}
    q \leq \sqrt{3}\lambda.
\end{equation}

In the next paper we shall consider the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry
breaking of nonabelean gauge symmetry in the framework of the present
approach.

("Blackout" is also a: user.)
(thing) by Dhericean Fri May 12 2000 at 16:49:42
During World War II the United Kingdom enforced a blackout of all lights that might be used by enemy aircraft to target urban areas during the Blitz.
This included shutters or simliar on all windows and shielding street lights so they did not shine up (and did not shine anywhere else very strongly). Also the headlights of cars were masked so that they threw only a very small beam. Not unsurprisingly the number of accidents at night went up quite noticeably during this Blackout.
Enforcing the Blackout was part of the responsibility of the Air Raid Patrol (ARP) wardens. They could be obsessive and were sometimes the target of fun (as in the comedy "Dad's Army").
(thing) by joedoc Tue Jul 24 2001 at 1:10:11
A series of rules designed to prevent televised sports events from being broadcast to certain areas.
The logic behind the blackout is that it protects the revenue stream of a sports franchise or team within its market area.
Blackout rules vary from sport to sport, but generally work in one of two ways:
The Sell Out Rule -- common with NFL games. Applies to a 75-mile radius around the home team's stadium. If a home game in that facility is not sold out at least 72 hours prior to kick-off, the game will not be broadcast on television inside that radius. The idea is to protect the team financially by providing an incentive for fans to attend the game in person.
The Market Protection Rule -- this rule is usually used in Major League Baseball. Each MLB team controls a market area made up of the region surrounding their home location. This allows the team to restrict out-of-market broadcasts of their games into their area.
Example: I live in Florida, a market "owned" by the Florida Marlins and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. However, I'm a fan of the New York Yankees and I have a satellite dish to see Yankees' games. When the Yankees play either Florida team, I only see the broadcast of the game if the regional sports channel in Florida carries the game. If the game is broadcast by an out-of-market network (such as Madison Square Garden Network), and the regional network doesn't carry the game, the MSG feed is blacked out in my area. Which means I'm screwed.
People like me who have satellite think blackout rules are stupid. We already pay a premium to get out-of-market sports, so we ought to be exempt from such idiotic efforts at protectionism.

Spectra, 2010
Blackout is a work of historical science fiction by Connie Willis, a continuation of her earlier time-travelling-historian books that started with Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog. It can be read and enjoyed even if you have not read these earlier books.
Blackout takes place (mostly) in England during WWII; it starts out however, in 2060, where time-travel technology allows historians to go back and study history as it happens. At the moment, quite a few historians are setting out for the years of 1940-1944, to study the events around WWII. Three of these, Michael Davies, Poly Churchill, and Merope Ward, are studying events surrounding the Blitz -- Michael is studying the Battle of Dunkirk, Polly the reaction of Londoners to the Blitz, and Merope the lives of children evacuated out of London. And that's what the story is about.
Okay, there's a bit more to it than that -- a lot more -- but that's actually a lot of the story; what it was like in England during the war. This is by no means boring, and the background is exhaustively researched and the story well written. Of course, this is the story of historians from the future, and they have all kinds of difficulties with temporal schedules and learning how to live like 1940s contemporaries without acting so odd that they get reported as possible German spies. This being a Connie Willis story, any number of things go wrong, and this being a war, some of these things are fairly dangerous.
Eventually it becomes clear to the protagonists that some of the things going wrong can't be explained simply by the bloody-mindedness of time-travel technology and the chaos of a country under siege. All of the theories say that it is completely impossible for a time traveller to change history, but as the chaos mounts and they lose contact with the future they start to suspect that the theories might be wrong.
This is a very good book, and well-worth reading despite the material being rather familiar to Willis fans. WWII doesn't get boring, and if the Blitz is well-trodden territory, that's only because it deserves to be. That said, the setting, style, characters, and tone of this book are just what we've come to expect from Willis; this book fits right into the mood of her earlier books (although it's not as dark as Doomsday book)
Unfortunately, this is actually a 1000 page novel split into two parts; I strongly suggest that you buy both Blackout and the sequel All Clear together, as Blackout doesn't come to any sort of ending point... It just stops. And it's plenty good enough that you won't want to stop.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes humorous and well-researched historical fiction, although I recommend buying the second book, All Clear at the same time; you will not want to take a break between the two. If you are uncertain whether this book is for you, I would recommend starting with the less-massive To Say Nothing of the Dog, or even (hey, why not) the first book in the 'series', Doomsday Book.

Rojava's Democratic, Feminist Revolution a Source of Hope Among Horror. By Tony Iltis and Stuart Munckton, teleSUR | Op-Ed
"Syria can seem an endless black hole of misery, but in the northern, largely Kurdish region of Rojava, it is also the scene of a profoundly democratic and humanist revolution, which places the rights of ethnic minorities and women's liberation at its centre.
Ironically, given the horror that surrounds it, Rojava is the site of the most profound experiments on grassroots, participatory democracy outside of the revolutionary projects in Latin America. Like in Venezuela, the ideal of "the commune" is at the heart of Rojava's burgeoning democracy…..
"We believe that a revolution that does not open the way for women's liberation is not a revolution. There have been revolutions in Libya and Egypt and Tunisia … but the same status for women has persisted." Because of the war, devastation and isolation that Rojava is subjected to, its economy is largely geared toward survival. However, its socialist-oriented emphasis is on providing universal housing, nutrition, healthcare, childcare and education — none of which were provided by the Syrian government during peacetime. The revolution in Rojava is explicitly a multi-ethnic revolution. In its preamble, the constitution of the Rojava autonomous cantons describes Rojava's cantons as "a confederation of Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, Arameans, Turkmen, Armenians and Chechens". It continues: "In building a society free from authoritarianism, militarism, centralism and the intervention of religious authority in public affairs, the Charter recognises Syria's territorial integrity and aspires to maintain domestic and international peace."

John Pilger: The war criminals in our midst who should be in the dock with ISIS – Stop the War Coalition
As a witness to the human consequences of aerial savagery – including the beheading of victims, their parts festooning trees and fields – I am not surprised by the disregard of memory and history, yet again. A telling example is the rise to power of Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge, who had much in common with today's Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). They, too, were ruthless medievalists who began as a small sect. They, too, were the product of an American-made apocalypse, this time in Asia.
According to Pol Pot, his movement had consisted of "fewer than 5,000 poorly armed guerrillas uncertain about their strategy, tactics, loyalty and leaders". Once Nixon's and Kissinger's B52 bombers had gone to work as part of "Operation Menu", the west's ultimate demon could not believe his luck.
The Americans dropped the equivalent of five Hiroshimas on rural Cambodia during 1969-73. They levelled village after village, returning to bomb the rubble and corpses. The craters left monstrous necklaces of carnage, still visible from the air.
The terror was unimaginable. A former Khmer Rouge official described how the survivors "froze up and they would wander around mute for three or four days. Terrified and half-crazy, the people were ready to believe what they were told … That was what made it so easy for the Khmer Rouge to win the people over."

CINCINNATI — Earlier this month, in Cincinnati's Washington Park, people gathered to celebrate domestic and international peacemakers in honor of the annual UN International Day of Peace. On that same day, millions around the world marched for more resources to be directed to the planetary threat of climate change.Yet the United States is at war again, a war that could cost up to $10 billion a year, and the drumbeat of war was the centerpiece of President Obama's recent address to the United Nations General Assembly.More than half of Americans support air strikes in Iraq and Syria as well as arming groups to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, according to a recent Pew Research Center poll. That support is not shared by those who celebrated the International Day of Peace, including many women's organizations that have long decried war as a tool to end violence. Their calls for non-violent solutions have flooded my mailbox in recent weeks. Perhaps it is time to for more to listen to those women who say "no" to more war.

Pivoting on ISIS Brutality, Obama Orders 350 More Troops to Iraq | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community
Critics of such policies, however, continue to remind the public that it was the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and broader U.S. foreign policy that created the conditions for ISIS to rise in the region and warn that further military escalation in either Iraq or Syria is a mistake that plays right into the hands of jihadist groups like ISIS.
As Tom Engelhardt, editor of the online magazine TomDispatch.com, wrote on Tuesday:
Though the militants of ISIS would undoubtedly be horrified to think so, they are the spawn of Washington. Thirteen years of regional war, occupation, and intervention played a major role in clearing the ground for them. They may be our worst nightmare (thus far), but they are also our legacy — and not just because so many of their leaders came from the Iraqi army we disbanded, had their beliefs and skills honed in the prisons we set up (Camp Bucca seems to have been the West Point of Iraqi extremism), and gained experience facing U.S. counterterror operations in the "surge" years of the occupation. In fact, just about everything done in the war on terror has facilitated their rise. After all, we dismantled the Iraqi army and rebuilt one that would flee at the first signs of ISIS's fighters, abandoning vast stores of Washington's weaponry to them. We essentially destroyed the Iraqi state, while fostering a Shia leader who would oppress enough Sunnis in enough ways to create a situation in which ISIS would be welcomed or tolerated throughout significant areas of the country.
And Engelhardt warns that for Obama to be so easily goaded into escalation by the brutal videos released by ISIS would be a foolish, and rather transparent, mistake.

IDFs Gaza assault is to control Palestinian gas, avert Israeli energy crisis | Nafeez Ahmed | Environment | theguardian.com
esterday, Israeli defence minister and former Israeli Defence Force IDF chief of staff Moshe Yaalon announced that Operation Protective Edge marks the beginning of a protracted assault on Hamas. The operation "wont end in just a few days," he said, adding that "we are preparing to expand the operation by all means standing at our disposal so as to continue striking Hamas."This morning, he said:"We continue with strikes that draw a very heavy price from Hamas. We are destroying weapons, terror infrastructures, command and control systems, Hamas institutions, regime buildings, the houses of terrorists, and killing terrorists of various ranks of command… The campaign against Hamas will expand in the coming days, and the price the organization will pay will be very heavy."But in 2007, a year before Operation Cast Lead, Yaalons concerns focused on the 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas discovered in 2000 off the Gaza coast, valued at $4 billion. Yaalon dismissed the notion that "Gaza gas can be a key driver of an economically more viable Palestinian state" as "misguided." The problem, he said, is that:"Proceeds of a Palestinian gas sale to Israel would likely not trickle down to help an impoverished Palestinian public. Rather, based on Israels past experience, the proceeds will likely serve to fund further terror attacks against Israel…A gas transaction with the Palestinian Authority [PA] will, by definition, involve Hamas. Hamas will either benefit from the royalties or it will sabotage the project and launch attacks against Fatah, the gas installations, Israel – or all three… It is clear that without an overall military operation to uproot Hamas control of Gaza, no drilling work can take place without the consent of the radical Islamic movement."Operation Cast Lead did not succeed in uprooting Hamas, but the conflict did take the lives of 1,387 Palestinians 773 of whom were civilians and 9 Israelis 3 of whom were civilians.Since the discovery of oil and gas in the Occupied Territories, resource competition has increasingly been at the heart of the conflict, motivated largely by Israels increasing domestic energy woes.Mark Turner, founder of the Research Journalism Initiative, reported that the siege of Gaza and ensuing military pressure was designed to "eliminate" Hamas as "a viable political entity in Gaza" to generate a "political climate" conducive to a gas deal. This involved rehabilitating the defeated Fatah as the dominant political player in the West Bank, and "leveraging political tensions between the two parties, arming forces loyal to Abbas and the selective resumption of financial aid."Yaalons comments in 2007 illustrate that the Israeli cabinet is not just concerned about Hamas – but concerned that if Palestinians develop their own gas resources, the resulting economic transformation could in turn fundamentally increase Palestinian clout.Meanwhile, Israel has made successive major discoveries in recent years – such as the Leviathan field estimated to hold 18 trillion cubic feet of natural gas – which could transform the country from energy importer into aspiring energy exporter with ambitions to supply Europe, Jordan and Egypt. A potential obstacle is that much of the 122 trillion cubic feet of gas and 1.6 billion barrels of oil in the Levant Basin Province lies in territorial waters where borders are hotly disputed between Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and Cyprus.Amidst this regional jockeying for gas, though, Israel faces its own little-understood energy challenges. It could, for instance, take until 2020 for much of these domestic resources to be properly mobilised.But this is the tip of the iceberg. A 2012 letter by two Israeli government chief scientists – which the Israeli government chose not to disclose – warned the government that Israel still had insufficient gas resources to sustain exports despite all the stupendous discoveries. The letter, according to Haaretz, stated that Israels domestic resources were 50% less than needed to support meaningful exports, and could be depleted in decades:"We believe Israel should increase its [domestic] use of natural gas by 2020 and should not export gas. The Natural Gas Authoritys estimates are lacking. Theres a gap of 100 to 150 billion cubic meters between the demand projections that were presented to the committee and the most recent projections. The gas reserves are likely to last even less than 40 years!"As Dr Gary Luft – an advisor to the US Energy Security Council – wrote in the Journal of Energy Security, "with the depletion of Israels domestic gas supplies accelerating, and without an imminent rise in Egyptian gas imports, Israel could face a power crisis in the next few years… If Israel is to continue to pursue its natural gas plans it must diversify its supply sources."

Gaza conflict: At least 15 dead after tank shells hit UN school – World – CBC News
There are calls for Canadians to go to Gaza.
Abu Hasna, the UN agency spokesman, said the international community must step in."Its the responsibility of the world to tell us what we shall do with more than 200,000 people who are inside our schools, thinking that the UN flag will protect them," he said. "This incident today proves that no place is safe in Gaza."

The Bombing of Nagasaki August 9, 1945: The Un-Censored Version | Global Research
68 years ago, at 11:02 am on August 9th, 1945, an all-Christian bomber crew dropped a plutonium bomb, on Nagasaki, Japan. That bomb was the second and last atomic weapon that had as its target a civilian city. Somewhat ironically, as will be elaborated upon later in this essay, Nagasaki was the most Christian city in Japan and ground zero was the largest cathedral in the Orient.

So I did an informal survey amongst my clients about a Commercial Gym Vs. Home Gym. Putting cost aside (because that'll probably need its own blog post), these were the most popular responses.
2. Pressure to push a little harder so you look like a real badass.
3. Access to different machines, weights, etc.
1. The commute – You're already not feeling your 6am workout. A drive to a gym might just be the hurdle that makes you hit the snooze button. And if there's not parking...well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.
2. Stinkiness – put that many sweaty humans in the same room and that's what you get.
3. The guy grunting….like this guy.... – Seriously. Why?
1. No need to get dressed up. Those old bleached sweatpants will be just fine.
3. Choice of music. Maybe hearing Rihanna on repeat is not your thing?
5. Décor. Wouldn't it be nice to choose the poster you stare at while doing cardio?
So from the title of this post, you know I'm going to tell you that home gyms are great. Distance coaching gives my clients a lot of flexibility with schedule and availability. My programs can also be used virtually anywhere there are a few basic tools. Why have a restriction on what time you can workout or wait around for your turn in the Squat Rack?
Tools Needed: Foam Roller, stretch band, A Jump Rope, Hurdles, Kettlebells (small) and/or Minibands.
This phase of your workout will require the most amount of space, which isn't much. Pushing the coffee table against a living wall or clearing off the deck would do it, or parking your car in the driveway instead of the garage if you really want to posh it up.
I just love these cartoonish pictures.
These tools are so versatile that this selection would probably be all you ever needed for most of my programs. But even just a couple of these will start you out. If it feels like too much of an investment, I recommend starting with a couple of these basics and then phasing in more toys every couple of months. This also keeps it new and fun.
I prefer Kettlebells to Dumbbells, because they're versatile and space efficient and you don't need as big of a selection of Kettlebells. Also, the TRX is really the Swiss army knife of fitness tools, since you can do a litany of exercises with it. And the pull-up bar doesn't take much space and is key to a home gym.
Look for my upcoming blog about how to use a combination of these fitness tools to create a well-rounded home workout.

This polaroid camera I got to borrow is from the late 1950's! It uses a range-finder to focus. You snap the picture, then pull a large-ish tab out (attached to one polaroid you are using). Then you pull out an even larger tab (look at the end of the full-right side in the photo above) and WAIT. You wait 2 minutes or so and then peel it open and VOILA! Instant-O.
*Note: This polaroid cannot focus too closely. My arms were not long enough to get my selfie in-focus.
Can you imagine how technological this would have seemed?
The user manual that comes with it is entertaining in itself.
In this daily portrait, I got to learn how to use an archaic and wonderful old camera!


Killing it. Hope you have been along for the ride.
Whats up fellas? Ready to make some money?
Tennessee? You've got to quit fading your Tigers. Tennessee is terrible.
Dude, going Tennessee large is not the best plan. I think they win, because I'm a Mizzou skeptic. IIRC, you're a Mizzou guy, so you know that as well as I do.
But Tennessee is going to quit on their coach. Dooley is a dead man walking, and more than half the locker room hates him. I don't know if they quit on him this week, but it's always a threat. This may be a spot to bet on them, but you should do so extremely carefully.
Also, I know y'all's offense is awful, but you'll be able to move the ball on us, because everyone has. That said, we should be able to move it on y'all too. This is the best offensive talent I've seen in Knoxville in a while, and it's the worst defense Tennessee has had in my lifetime. Maybe ever.
Glad your back. Missed all the good picks you had. Great contribution to covers.
Mizzou is beat up. Our defense has done well, but NEVER holds up for 4 quarters cause our offense stinks. Other than Florida (20) and Bama (13), the Vols have put up 40 ppg (and thats not including Akron or Georgia St or that number is 42ish). Now Mizzou is b2b in super tough environments. Franklin isnt 100% and the wrs dont have speed to make plays after the catch. Mizzous strength defensively is against the run. Look at the schedule....Mizzou has faced ZERO passing teams (closest thing would be UGA who put up 41). UCF, Vandy, UK, Florida,Az St and So Car lack a very good qb. Thats where Tennessee is gonna go. Hunter should be good for 200 and 2 tds. Just gonna be a tough week to regroup and head to Knoxville......Honestly dont think Mizzou wins another game this year.

I like most of your picks but i have to think twice if Tenn will be a LARGE play. BOL!!!!!
You were the guy who said take Oregon, Bama & Florida last week? ... Just making sure I avoid you on the biggest games of the week again b/c your wrong more times than not.
the play to make in the Tenn/Mizzou game is the over Tennessee Team Total. I'm hoping for something around 31 though I think it'll be closer to 35. Either way, I'm pounding it.
Tenn better win though, this is the last game I'm go to this year.
Dude you play like 50 games a weekend.
GL Train! I think the two dweebs above have to be aliases for Eddothebookofmorons... no? Anyway, let's get it done this week buddy!
I go 24-15 and you pick out the games I went 1-2 on.
By "like", do you mean an average of 30? If so, then you are correct. If not, you were only off by a little. Math isnt for everyone.
Thats funny because I aint done yet. Those were just the 1st go around games that stood out. Not to mention totals.
That's the beauty of betting openers. Not that difficult a concept.

Narrow Pond Habitat
At 151 acres and over a mile and a half long, Narrow Pond would be considered a lake by most. Even with this area, the deepest water is just nine feet, typical of northern Maine's small glacial lakes that are over 10,000 years old.
If not for a myriad of springs feeding the rich waters, few if any brook trout would survive the warm days of summer. But they have survived for eons and well enough so that Narrow Pond remains one of only 216 Maine lakes that has never been stocked.
Like most things in nature, the ecosystem of Narrow Pond is complex. Although brook trout are the most common fish here, others, though not often seen, include white suckers, red-bellied and black nosed dace, cusk or burbot. While cusk generally live in deep lakes, their presence here has just recently been documented. According to data collected for the last twenty-two years, Narrow Pond Squaretails feed on leeches, shrimp, scud, dace and all phases of insects including May, Caddis, Damsel, Dragon, and Blackflies. An interesting feeding frenzy sometimes occurs during the spring, when salamanders make an exodus to the pond waters to lay their eggs.
Spring inlets and seeps are essential for these trout to survive, when the pond temperature reaches over 70°F during late June, July and early August. During these warm weeks several hundred Brookies may congregate near any one cold water influence, making for outstanding fly fishing. Predation in any ecosystem is normal and healthy and Narrow Pond is no exception. Otters, mink, eagles, osprey, loons, mergansers, Great Blue Heron, cormorants, and larger trout all prey on trout here.
The Maine Inland Fisheries and Game have been responsible for the management of this fishery for decades and have responded well to suggestions made by the public. Prior to regulation changes implemented in the last fifteen years, trout numbers suffered from a liberal bag limit and too general angling methods. Current regulations specify artificial lures (flies included) a limit of two fish (at least 12 inches long) but only one may be over 14 inches. This slot length is designed to limit the taking of mature fish therefore preserving the gene pool of fish that are capable of reaching a large size.

Quote from WikiPedia:
"In land area, Piscataquis is one of the largest U.S. counties east of the Mississippi River. It is also one of two counties in the Northeast (and seven counties east of the Mississippi River)[3] that meets Frederick Jackson Turner's requirements for "frontier" country – that is, having fewer than six inhabitants per square mile, the other being Hamilton County, New York."
Baxter State Park, a large wilderness preserve, is also located in Piscataquis County.

Believe it or not, this is the tenth release in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Well, the X in the title is a bit of a giveaway if you know your Roman numerals, but I digress. The point is, there have been ten previous incarnations of this brutal fighting game. That adds up to a whole bucketload of gore over the years.
So after its humble beginnings as a 16-bit bloodfest on the SEGA Mega Drive, how does the shiny new Mortal Kombat X stack up with the others in the series? How excited would you get if we told you it was the best one yet? Well it is, you know. Hands down the most playable Kombat yet, there's a whole heap of content here to keep you coming back long after you have mastered all of the fatalities.
The majority of fighting games are designed for two players, but to its credit, the single player experience of Mortal Kombat X stands up. You have over twenty characters to play as or fight against, a story mode, five different tower modes and a customisable fighting mode where you can choose exactly what parameters you wish to play under.
As you beat your opponents, you are rewarded experience points, and unlock different backgrounds, new characters, new moves and stringer abilities. This reward system keeps you craving just one more fight and adds to the fun of playing. What's more, the fatalities are sicker than ever. We're talking vomit –inducing. But surely that's what Mortal Kombat is all about?


When you have ever been anywhere that had an assortment of indoor bonsai trees on display, there is a very good possibility that you felt instantaneously soothed merely being in their presence. There is a good reason why these miniature trees are used in meditation studios spas and several mental health physicians' offices. They can be natural yet so amazingly arty that you only can't help but be intrigued by them.
There are quite a small number of things to think about before rushing out to purchase bonsai trees in a shop or on the internet. First, understand why these trees are a dedication. You do need to ensure that they constantly possess the proper amount of water although you definitely don't have to reduce them frequently. This means that whenever you go on vacation, dog or your cat -sitter may also have to result in watering your indoor bonsai trees.
They are basically pieces of art which can be placed almost everywhere and no matter their surroundings, they help make a relaxing setting.
Supplies - You also should find the best supplies into your budget, when you buy bonsai trees. The upkeep of them is byzantine and the proper tools will make all of the difference in the world.
Pot - Just any old pot isn't going to do. An excessive amount of depth will likely be offered if you place your tree in a typical plant container. The roots are able to grow when this occurs as it will be, along with the tree will not remain as small. Pots used need to be shallow, which keeps the root system commanded.
Soil and Fertilizer - All trees are unique and react different to fertilizer. While others only need it then and now some will boom with it. Understand that because the pots are so modest, there are not a lot of nutrients in the soil. This is why you will discover that you may need to fertilize them much more frequently than other plants in your house. A correct mixture of land and fertilizer have to be preserved.
If you are ready to buy bonsai trees, take a minute and research your options. You could assume you will want jade tree, but you alter your mind when you see a juniper. Elm, maple and pine are popular as well. A few things you'll need to get started include butterfly sheers, wire cutters, branch cutters, watering can and a rake.

Acquired equivalences between auditory stimuli in dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Author: Fersen, Lorenzo von; Delius, Juan
Published in: Animal Cognition ; 3 (2000), 2. - pp. 79-83. - ISSN 1435-9448
DOI (citable link): https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s100710000063
This study investigated whether dolphins would show evidence of equivalence class formation between auditory stimuli. Bottlenose dolphins were trained to press one or other of two response levers depending on which one of four auditory stimuli had been previously presented. Once they had learned the initial discriminations, the stimulus-lever contingencies was repeatedly reversed. Within any given session, however, pressing of one lever always led to reward with one set of two tones and pressing the other lever led to non-reward with an alternative set of two tones. After sufficient experience with this response reversal procedure, the dolphins spontaneously chose the same levers they had first learned to be correct with one of the across-set stimulus pairs when later in the session they were presented with the other of the across-set stimulus pairs. They thus demonstrated that they had associated the tones belonging to the two sets within two separate functional classes. It is discussed why the dolphins succeeded with auditory stimuli when they had previously failed in a similar task with visual stimuli.

After sufficient experience with this response reversal procedure, the dolphins spontaneously chose the same levers they had first learned to be correct with one of the across-set stimulus pairs when later in the session they were presented with the other of the across-set stimulus pairs. They thus demonstrated that they had associated the tones belonging to the two sets within two separate functional classes. It is discussed why the dolphins succeeded with auditory stimuli when they had previously failed in a similar task with visual stimuli.</dcterms:abstract> <dc:creator>Fersen, Lorenzo von</dc:creator> <dcterms:bibliographicCitation>Animal Cognition ; 3 (2000), 2. - S. 79-83</dcterms:bibliographicCitation> <dc:rights>terms-of-use</dc:rights> <dcterms:available rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime">2012-09-25T11:42:35Z</dcterms:available> <dspace:hasBitstream rdf:resource="https://kops.uni-konstanz.de/bitstream/123456789/20330/2/Delius%20Acquired%20equivalences...%202000%20edit.pdf"/> <dcterms:title>Acquired equivalences between auditory stimuli in dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)</dcterms:title> <void:sparqlEndpoint rdf:resource="http://localhost/fuseki/dspace/sparql"/> <dc:language>eng</dc:language> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

History of Aberdeen
Aspect of history
Aberdeen Market Cross
Aberdeen around 1900
There has been a human presence in the area of Aberdeen since the Stone Age. Aberdeen as a city, grew up as two separate burghs: Old Aberdeen, the university and cathedral settlement, at the mouth of the River Don; and New Aberdeen, a fishing and trading settlement where the Denburn entered the Dee estuary.[1]
1 Pre-1136
2 1136 to the 18th century
3 18th and 19th centuries
4 20th century
Pre-1136[edit]
Aberdeen was first settled by hunter-gatherers around 6000 BC, who established themselves around the mouths of the river Dee and river Don. Around 2000 BC the Beaker People, who built the mysterious stone circles that can be found in the Aberdeenshire area,[2] arrived from the Rhine lands.
400 BC saw Celtic migration to the area from the north of Scotland.[2]
The Romans arrived in Aberdeenshire in the first century AD.[2] Agricola, the Roman governor of Britannia, led a force of some 40,000 men into Caledonia in 84 AD. They fought and defeated the united armies of the Picts in the Battle of Mons Graupius, near the peak of Bennachie in Aberdeenshire.[2]
After the Romans left, the natives of Aberdeenshire began to convert to Christianity.[2] Old Aberdeen's first church was built around 580. St Kentigern sent St Machar to convert the Picts to Christianity.[1][2] St Machar's Cathedral today is named after him. It became the official seat of the bishopric of Aberdeen.[1]
1136 to the 18th century[edit]
In 1136, David I began the development of New Aberdeen north of the River Dee, and the earliest charter was granted by King William the Lion about 1179, confirming the corporate rights granted by David I, which gave trade privileges to the burgesses. This charter is the oldest surviving charter.[1] The city received other royal charters later. In 1319, the Great Charter of Robert the Bruce transformed Aberdeen into a property owning and financially independent community. Bruce had a high regard for the citizens of Aberdeen who had sheltered him in his days of outlawry, helped him win the Battle of Barra and slew the English garrison at Aberdeen Castle. He granted Aberdeen with the nearby Forest of Stocket. The income from this land has formed the basis for the city's Common Good Fund, which is used to this day for the benefit of all Aberdonians.[3][4]
Aberdeen's medieval council registers (then known as "common books")[5] survive from 1398 onwards and are exceptional for their quantity and continuity among surviving Scottish burgh records. The earliest eight volumes, from 1398 to 1511, have been included in the UNESCO UK Memory of the World Register, and have been edited in a digital edition.[6]
The city was burned by Edward III of England in 1336, but was soon rebuilt and extended, and called New Aberdeen. For many centuries the city was subject to attacks by the neighbouring lords, and was strongly fortified, but the gates were all removed by 1770. Royal charters from 1489 and 1498 created a free burgh to be administered by the church.[1] In 1497 a blockhouse was built at the harbour mouth as a protection against the English. During the Wars of 1644-47 between the Royalists and Covenanters the city was impartially plundered by both sides. In 1644, it was taken and sacked by Royalist troops consisting of Irishmen and Highlanders after the Battle of Aberdeen.[7] The sack of Aberdeen in 1644 by the Royalist general Montrose during the English Civil War involved uncharacteristic large-scale rape.[8] 1647 saw the outbreak of bubonic plague, and a quarter of the population died. In 1715 the Earl Marischal proclaimed the Old Pretender at Aberdeen, and in 1745 the Duke of Cumberland resided for a short time in the city before attacking the Young Pretender.[3]
18th and 19th centuries[edit]
In the 18th century a new Town Hall was built, elegantly furnished with a marble fireplace from The Netherlands and a set of fine crystal chandeliers and sconces. The latter are still a feature in the Town House. This century also saw the beginnings of social services for the Infirmary at Woolmanhill which was opened in 1742 and the Lunatic Asylum in 1779.
In the late 18th century, the council embarked on a scheme of road improvements, and by 1805 George Street, King Street and Union Street were open, the latter a feat of extraordinary engineering skill involving the partial levelling of St Catherine's Hill and the building of arches to carry the street over Putachieside. The Denburn Valley was crossed by Union Street with a single span arch of 130 ft (40 m). Along these new streets was built the nucleus of the Granite City, many of whose buildings were designed by John Smith and Archibald Simpson.

The 19th century was a time of considerable expansion. The increasing economic importance of Aberdeen and the development of the shipbuilding and fishing industries brought a need for improved harbour facilities. During this century much of the harbour as it exists today was built: Thomas Telford's extension to the North Pier in 1810–1815, Victoria Dock (completed 1848), and the South Breakwater.[9] Such an expensive building programme had repercussions, and in 1817 the city was in a state of bankruptcy. However, a recovery was made in the general prosperity which followed the Napoleonic wars. Improvements in street lighting came in 1824 with the advent of gas, and a vast improvement was made to the water supply in 1830 when water was pumped from the Dee to a reservoir in Union Place. An underground sewerage system was begun in 1865 to replace the open sewers which previously ran along certain streets.[4]
The city was the headquarters of the Great North of Scotland Railway, located at 89 Guild Street, which was formed in 1846, becoming one of the constituents of the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923. The city was formerly served by Aberdeen Corporation Tramways, which closed in 1958.
The Guild Street drill hall was completed in 1860.[10]
The Aberdeen United Trades Council was established in 1868, and soon became a prominent force in the city, sponsoring candidates for the council and campaigning for shorter working hours.[4]
The city was first incorporated in 1891. At that time the church-administered central portion and the remainder of New Aberdeen were incorporated into the present city.[1]
In 1899 the city was separated for administrative purposes from the county of Aberdeenshire, and became a "county of a city".[11] It remained part of the lieutenancy area of Aberdeenshire.
20th century[edit]
By 1921 the population was 158,969,[9] and the city covered more than 6,000 acres (24 km²).[citation needed]
George VI visited in 1925 to inaugurate the Memorial Court attached to Aberdeen Art Gallery.[9]
In 1943 during World War II, a Luftwaffe raid dropped 129 bombs on Aberdeen resulting in 125 deaths and considerable damage to the city. This event is referred to as the Aberdeen Blitz.[12]
In 1964 a food poisoning outbreak occurred, this was due to the sale of contaminated meat from a shop (William Low) which was on Union Street.[1] The disease was typhoid.[2] After the food poisoning outbreak the food shop closed and in the late 1980s. The name of the report of the government enquiry is the "Milne Report".
In 1930 Aberdeen's status as a county of a city was confirmed by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929. In 1975, counties of cities were abolished. The area of the former county of a city was then combined with nearby rural and suburban areas of Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire to form a district in the new Grampian Region, and a separate lieutenancy area, known as the City of Aberdeen. When districts and regions were abolished in 1996 the former district became a unitary council area, known as Aberdeen City.
Today, although Old Aberdeen still has a separate charter and history, it and New Aberdeen are no longer truly distinct. The area of the city now includes the former burghs of Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen, Woodside and the Royal Burgh of Torry to the south of the Dee.

a3Genealogy: Slave Death Records Before the Civil War?
Where Might They Be Hiding?
Sometimes, there's a record collection that elicits "pause!" A grouping of records that shatters a truth so ingrained in the slave researchers' psyche, that even the slightest hope of uncovering the pre-Civil War slave ancestors is dismissed. Sure there are Civil War records, pension records being one of the favorites. There are Civil marriage records as early as 1865, slave master personal records, probates and wills that may give us a hint of a slave's name and even age. But what about death records? Are you bypassing death records, because you consider finding death facts on your slave ancestor to yield a low success rate?
Names Slave and "Name of the Owner of Slave"
There are two main questions needing to be answered when doing slave research: 1) Names of parents? 2) Who was the slavemaster(s)? Researchers most often give up too early to really ferrett the answers to these questions. This was the case in a recent Virginia / West Virginia slave research project. Yet, both questions were answered. Perhaps a quick peak at county death records will surprise you. In this West Virginia slave research project, an "ah shucks...let's just check" attitude yielded a hosts of slave names, their slavemasters, death circumstances and even parent's names (as known by the informant). The results were numerous and outlined not for one, two, or three slaves, but for many.
The West Virginia Division of Culture and History holds the death record database and images. But, to recreate this type of research conduct your keyword searches by the county using a first name search, not the expected surname. Keep identifying characteristics (age, location,etc.) in mind when conducting your search to pinpoint your ancestor.
First stop should be to slave master deeds and records. These deeds may explain how the slave was acquired, and name previously known slavemasters. Through slaveholder lineage, wills and probates may name your slave ancestors also.
